Recurring Purchase Assistant extension for Magento is the perfect tool for stores that sell goods that are purchased frequently and on regular basis, such as office supplies, groceries, baby care products, home and garden care products, etc.
Let your customers create, maintain and share lists of products for recurrent purchases. Make sure to remind them when it's time to purchase again. Let them get discount based on the purchase history or even future purchase intent.
Here's what the extension can do for you:
- Enable customers to add products to the recurring purchase list from a product page;
- Enable customers to inquire about discounts for the lists they create;
- Enable customers to easily save the content of their carts as a recurring product list;
- Make it easy to add the whole list to cart with just one click;
- Allow flexible lists management;
- Provide convenient list sharing options (email, social networks, instant messengers)
- Notify customers about changes in products from their lists (price change or product availability, for example);
- Remind customers when it's time to make a next purchase;
- Include a convenient link to a full cart into that reminder;
All options available to shoppers in the front-end are available for Admin in the back-end. And more:
- Get the info about the number of purchases for each list;
- Add products to customers' lists;
- Set up one-time or recurring email reminders about upcoming purchases;
- Set up individual discount conditions for specific lists (such as "Buy the list 10 times, get 50% off the 11th purchase, etc.). Priceless option when dealing with corporate clients and phone orders.

EPHRATAH, N.Y. (AP) - Rescuers are searching for the pilot of a volunteer Angel Flight that crashed in upstate New York, killing two passengers.
A dispatcher for the Fulton County Sheriff's Department says divers went to a large pond Saturday morning where the bulk of the plane was found submerged in Ephratah (ee-FRAY'-tah), west of Albany. Investigators are also combing nearby woods.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the plane departed from Bedford, Mass., and was headed to Rome, N.Y., when it crashed Friday night.
Angel Flight is a nonprofit group that arranges free air transportation for sick patients from volunteer pilots. Officials haven't yet identified the passengers or pilot.
Ephratah resident Roger Berry tells The Associated Press he was chopping wood when the plane crashed. He says he heard a bang and saw pieces of the plane crash.

I bought a Beayty Bush ( Dream Catcher ) at Greenland today. It's a USDA zone 4 so shud be OK here. So far there are not too many grown here so I will see what happens come spring. It's a shrub and has pinkish flowers. Another name on the tag is Kolkwitzia amabilis "Maradco" |
Follow-Up Postings:
They overwinter at the Calgary Zoo, so your chances are good! |
Good luck with that. I've never seen one up close and personal, looks like a nice shrub. |

So much ado is made about that other Washington city--you know, the one that Microsoft, coffee addicts and grunge bands put on the map--that the number-21 mid-sized Western city, Spokane, could easily get lost in the shuffle. But this, the largest city in eastern Washington, is home to an entrepreneurial environment every bit as prosperous as its lush scenery would suggest.
Consider, for instance, the strong presence of high-tech firms in Spokane. Service businesses--particularly those in the health-care industry--are also significant to the local economy. Of special interest, however, is the recent surge in manufacturing. Employment in Spokane's manufacturing base has grown roughly 3 percent during the past two years. This certainly helps put the green in this region of the Evergreen State.
Yet even as Spokane's economy moves toward greater diversification, the city's entrepreneurial resources are priding themselves on unification. In a bid for one-stop convenience, the fledgling Spokane Regional Business Center houses everything from the city's chamber of commerce to various economic development organizations and the Spokane Area Business Information Center. The latter is one of only four sites nationwide to be designated an IBM Small Business Think Center.
Naturally, there are concerns as well. Despite pressure to change it, Washington's policy of taxing companies' gross receipts remains something of a thorn in the side of entrepreneurs. Then, too, there is the delicate balance that must be struck between the heralded boom in manufacturing and the beautiful scenery local residents are so proud of. And, yes, there is migration of many of the region's young people to the high-paying (and high-profile) behemoth that Bill Gates built. The increasingly tech-savvy Spokane, however, won't let Seattle--or any other city, for that matter-rain on its parade.

I am having so much fun with sewing for an infant that could care less what you put her in. Priceless amount of joy for this seamstress. If I had the time, she'd be wearing mama-made clothes all the time. Here is the front view of a dress I just finished for her.
And here is the back. This is the Paris dress by Create Kids Couture. I really need to get busy designing my own patterns for her too!
A big thanks to my fabulous hubster for getting me this dress form. I've been eyeing one of these for the longest time. This is the size 1-2 year dress form you can get here on Amazon. This dress is size 6-12 Months and I was afraid I was going to pop a seam trying to get it on the mannequin so I'd say it's more like size 2-3.
See? Babies are the best invention ever.

For over twenty years, the Family Studies Program has provided family therapy treatment, training and research for the New York University Medical Center community. Under the founding directorship of Linda Carter, Ph.D. and the supervision of the most distinguished medical center-based family faculty in the New York metropolitan area, the program has served hundreds of families with a wide variety of presenting problems.
Services include:
- Family and Couples Therapy
- Family Therapy Training for psychology interns, psychiatry residents, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows and clinical social workers
- Education/Outreach through courses, seminars and workshops for professional and community groups
Our Clinical Services:
Family Therapy
The emotional and behavioral problems of one family member affect all family members. Family therapy is an efficient form of treatment that utilizes the strengths and problem-solving abilities of the couple or whole family. Family therapy:
- Addresses a wide range of problems including parent-child discord and the emotional and behavioral difficulties of children at home and at school
- Is a relational approach that focuses on improving communication and connection among family members
- Is a collaborative approach that utilizes the inherent strengths and resources of all family members towards solving problems and improving relationships
- Is a practical approach that provides skills and tools that parents will practice in session and use with their children at home
- Provides a non-blaming, supportive context for family members to work together
Because changes in any part of the family can positively influence the family as a whole, the improvements can be dramatic and long-lasting.
Couples Therapy
Communication problems and conflict can seriously threaten a relationship. Research shows that couples who develop the ability to have constructive dialogue report higher levels of relationship satisfaction. Couples therapy is an active, results-oriented, and often brief treatment that addresses:
- Destructive communication patterns that can lead to separation and divorce
- Premarital issues, including relationships with one's own and one's partner's extended family
- The fallout from infidelity - rebuilding trust and commitment
- Sexual problems
- Infertility, adoption, and late-life pregnancy
- Painful life events such as illness and loss
- Cross-cultural and interfaith issues
- Issues specific to gay and lesbian couples
- Remarriage: forming a couple after the painful experience of divorce or widowhood
Training in Family/Couples Therapy
The Family Studies Program provides an integrative, interdisciplinary approach to training clinicians in family and couples therapy. Training is provided to Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellows, General Psychiatry Residents, Psychology Interns and Post-doctoral fellows, and Social Workers. Trainees participate in teams led by two senior family therapy supervisors. Each team meets weekly and makes use of a one-way mirror format that allows for in-the-moment, live supervision of the therapy process. The training experience includes:
- Grounding in current theories of family/couples therapy through seminars and lectures
- Hands-on learning through live supervision and the team process
- The opportunity to integrate family systems therapy and theory with other evidence-based forms of clinical practice.

Linda Carter, Ph.D., Director
Andrew Roffman, L.C.S.W., Clinical Director

Here I am posting Live a real time experience from Al-Azhar conference centrer, EED Egyptian Engineering Day organized by IEEE egypt, organization wasn't that great, messy and everything takes long time to get it done. the 1st impression it is like this Chinese events where every one having 2x2 m or 1x1.5 meters to show whatever they have, the students gets the lions bite where they demonstrate there graduation projects, lots of interesting stuff.
Here you can download my resume in PDF format
It is happening again, some days I sleep normally " which means i wake up every couple of hours and go back to sleep again " and most of days most of the night i'm awake can't sleep having Insomnia , again I become something strange something I can't understand myself, most of the time I Don't understand my own behavior my own actions and reactions, it just i feel there is something wrong and that is it but i never knew what it is... this time seems to be a big one never know when it will ends but it has to.
Hello World!!!

Again it's the 5th of November it's been one year from my 1st post a FULL YEAR ! so let us take a look on what changed....
Work as usually ups and downs but i picked up some new technologies and new tricks as always.
Yesterday the last Friday of July was the System Administrator Appreciation Day , so happy sysadmin day for all the good sysadmins around the world, unfortunately some people thinks that administrators always relaxed and have so little work as long as the system is up and running, but it's not true, they always keep maintaining the services making sure everything running and update and many many other things . anyway I wish you all had a great day, not like me..
Friday, a day off for me I`m up since 7 am on my computer doing lots of stuff working , reading , chatting , emails ,etc ,etc ,etc. Even I'm so tired from the whole week work i couldn't get much sleep, i went to pray , back working on a problem with our router at work for 3 hours or so , find another problem on one of the servers had to go to to office for another 4 hours , back home find another problem in the same machine and can't go back to the office, i was trying to fix but i couldn't and here i`m now at 2 AM and I'm still awake .. .so tired but i can't get to sleep !!

Live bands, fire shows, outrageous sharing cocktails, dancing girls, delicious food! Steam and Rye is the City's new entertainment bar and restaurant
Steam and Rye is an American dream on British soil. The venue is a spectacular 550 capacity space harking back to a bygone era, encapsulating America's Gilded Age, a time of glamour, decadence and idealism in the old bank of New York building in Bank, the heart of the City of London.
Inspired by the United States in the early 1900's, the decadent late bar and restaurant offers live music and dancing with a classic Americana theme. The grand living of the Great Gatsby era is met by the old ways of the Wild West and travelling shows will be fused with the stirrings of the new, young sound of rock 'n' roll.
To fully ensure visitors are transported to another world, House enlisted upon the help of Jonathan Lee – a Hollywood set designer.
Steam and Rye has a number of elements. The Main Hall and Station Gardens are modelled on New York's Grand Central Station and offer an over-whelming assault on the senses. The room features a beautiful sculpted bar, a stage, Grand Central's clock, and its very own Eastern Pacific Steam Train Dining Carriages. This area accommodates 350 guests.
Adjacent to Grand Central Station is Beamish's Study, which is where our fictional hero planned his travels, inspected his curiosities and eventually passed away whilst indulging in a spot of taxidermy. This room is now a peaceful, private dining room and blank event space for up to 40 people.
Explorers will find a winding stairwell leading to the mezzanine level and the Cargo Hold; another event space for up to 75 guests (40 seated) housing an impossibly crammed collection of ephemera, taxidermy, flotsam and jetsam with a glass fronted wall offering a bird's eye view over Grand Central Station. Dimly lit, it takes time to explore the treasures accumulated over a lifetime of travel to extraordinary destinations.
Finally the basement 1st Class Cocktail Carriage is a luxurious retreat whilst crossing continents. Rich sumptuous velvet and intimate leather-lined booths (seating 12) create an opulent den to savour extraordinary and exotic cocktails from the richly-laden bar. Ideal for private parties and outlaws hideouts for up to 70 guests.

Final Thoughts
With a total of six 120mm fans in its standard setup, the NZXT Tempest makes claims of being the "Airflow King". All fans are properly configured and half of them are equipped to showcase your system with blue LED lighting. The two front fans and the side have this lighting effect in place. All fans ran quietly and performed very well. On top of this, the two fans mounted to the top panel are also set up to run several of the common dual radiators without having to modify the case. We have the makings of NZXT living up to its claim.
Until we get to the task of mounting a high performance power supply. Then we run into a snag where the heat being produced by your components is forced through the PSU. Maybe I missed something, but I always thought one of the primary purposes of a bottom mounted power supply was to allow for better cooling of that component. Given the massive amount of airflow present in this case, this shouldn't have been done in this manner.
Beyond this issue, however, the Tempest has a lot of great features that still make it worthy of a look. All areas in which air is expected to make entry into the enclosure are filtered in some manner. Add to this the ability to install large motherboards, larger video cards and eight hard drives and you can still make a very good case for buying this monster. As with most products, there is both good and bad, so you will need to weigh out your needs and see if this enclosure fits the bill. There is an awful lot that is good, and just one major issue that is really bad.
As far as pricing is concerned, the Tempest can be found online for about $110US. This falls right into the price range we would expect for a decent mid-tower and a good deal less than many others who make the claim of solid airflow and cooling.
So is the NZXT Tempest the Airflow King? Close but no cigar.

Eastern Developers Find Their Footing At E3
Jessica McDonell speaks to Eastern developers who are having their first E3 experiences. They discuss fierce competition, eastern integration and whether booth size really matters.
And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes
Booth size totally matters.
That's why most gamers strongly prefer playing with big black sticks and big black balls over shrinking PS3s and tiny Wii Wiis. Even the white X360 suffers from execution dysfunction. Gaming PCs have incompatible and complex personalities with expensive demands.
Think about it. Scratch that. FEEL it. Using a big black stick to smack around a tight white ball is thrilling. Using a big black ball to breach through a little white hoop is incredible. They are so much funner than fiddling around with petite buttons.
Playing with big black sticks and big black balls is very affordable.
people who claim western gaming (or whatever region of the map they prefer) is not a true gamer. Just enjoy your games, losers. I play a mix of what people call western and eastern games, majority of it eastern but thats just because their output is quite huge with a good variety of games.
Fun fact: before this gen games were games not 'western' or 'eastern' but then I suspect a lot of people are really more aware of the aggressive marketing from western companies that at times is negative and not focused on games
I look forward to a time when games are just global, due to localization becoming trivially easy. I think technology will make that a reality before too long, but in the meantime, they've got all these ridiculous hurdles to worry about, and we miss out on lots of great games.
Well, to tell the truth about what I think: Eastern game developers are as great as they ever were, and they make the games I want to play the most.
From handheld games such as the Professor Layton and Ace Attorney franchises to big console tittles such as Vanquish, to my now all-time favorite game, Dark Souls, the eastern games are the best.
I enjoy western games too of course, such as God of War and Uncharted for example, but the east has it's share of great developers, and I wish they had a little more presence in the west.
It's true that eastern games don't have much success for wathever reason, mut they are also disrespectul towards the western fanbase. Biggest example is Monster Hunter, my favourite game ever, which is one of the most played title in japan, and I can proudly say that I've played any western release to date. I'm quite happy at how they brought mh3 on the wii(which I got basically only for this game), but when monster hunter frontier for he 360 was announced to be released only in Japan is like they just spit in the face of their western fans. There can't be hope in selling in western countries if they believe that those countries aren't worth releasing
The solution here is to stop Tecmo Koei making games. Then maybe Western audiences won't think "Japanese game" is synonymous with the Dynasty Warrior knock-offs that they peddle
Ill say that eastern developers are kind of aware that they are losing their share in the western market. Im not sure how they are doing at home, but the lack of sales square is experiecing is all the proof they need.
I think Dragons Dogma was/is japans chance to change their direction.
You know, for how flooded the MMO genre is with mediocre titles, there's not really a stand out oriental martial arts themed MMO out there. I've played a few such games, but they were all instantly forgetable, involving grinding boring mobs over and over. Age of Wushu looks like it's doing some exciting things with freedom of movement, but I'm still worried about the combat and questing in the game. Still, I'm definately going to keep an eye on it. It looks like it has some real potential.
Western games are far more superior! And progress with superiority. But I absolutely love when a good Japanese game comes along, i.e. Metal Gear Solid, Dragon's Dogma (which actually was a blend of traditional western RPG); Dark Souls, etc.
good stuff, but i never doubted eastern games. western games are plain, bland, uninspiring, and have extremely un unique plots. Take a game franchise like Shin megami tensei. It does everything, but leave western games with anything to be proud of.
age of wushu isn't that game someone spend US $16,000 on ONE single cash shop sword???
First Jessica McDonell you are beautiful
second Eastern Developers bring different ideas because it have different culture you may accept it or leave it .
Unless Eastern developers get to understand Western culture and understand Western gamers dont like games with repetition,grinding and Boredom and that we see those things as a negative. I dont like their chances because a lot of games free to play and other wise exist but too many are grindfests and the free to play model I really feel makes the experience feel throw away because it doesnt address what a game is in its totality its only giving 12-30% of the experience and telling you in order to enjoy 100% you have to pay to win to me thats a broken game.
I don't see how E3 means anything other than to other developers - I mean I personally can not afford to both travel, buy a ticket and pay for a hotel stay just to look at games I *might* buy. I know I am not alone at this.That being said, I'm sure there is a part for E3 in this world; but if the trend continues as it is: less and less companies are attending. Where was valve? Blizzard? On and on... The answer is that when a company gets big enough in this day in age, they host their own convention - or better yet, DON'T. Online carries a long way....Now the flip side, the "smaller" companies, indie for example: Can't afford to host an E3 booth... So really, E3 less and less of a "must see" event.
@DevilD2005 9 Dragons wasn't bad, but the grind was one of the worst I have ever had in an MMORPG. I fear this game will be too similar to 9 Dragons.
@bogan79 while i totally agree with you, i have noticed a decline in eastern games. i used to be all about eastern games favoring their anime style to the realistic western style. to date, my rpg preference is JRPG over western RPG. however, looking at my ps3 library (which is not updated in my profile) im starting to lean toward western titles more. either the lines between the 2 have been blurred so much or someone leaped over the other in terms of evolution. i hope its the former.
@King_TigerMK3 you know its possible to give praise to a game without talking down on another. I'm on my 3rd play-through of Dogma and I still love Skyrim
@im2cool123 loooooooooooooooooooooooool western game is alot better this gen they have more emotion adn bla bla involve in the story like in heavy rain, dragon age (even DA2 even if the story lacks u still have emotional attachment to the characters) and Deus Ex etc there r some good jap game but they r rare
Right, because eastern games with generic hero that lost his memory and finds out later that he is OP is definitely an inspiring concept that we should adapt to our western gaming.
What are you smoking?
Dragon Age Origins, The Witcher, Red Dead Redemption, L.A Noire, Batman series, Uncharted series, Portal, Bioshock, Dead Space, Assassin's Creed series, Mass Effect series etc
Sorry but Eastern developers did very little this gen and only Japanophiles like you fail to see that.
Repetition, grinding, and boredom?
Sounds like Call of Duty series, Battlefield series, Medal of Honor series, Killzone series, Gears of War series, Tom Clancy's first person shooters, etc.
@IanNottinghamX Some of these games do well here. Why do you think Dynasty Warriors gets released on every system. They have a huge American following.
@ryan_sr97c_1 I guess it comes to personal tastes i guess - its hard to objectively state a decline in eastern games and a rise in western games when we're having fun with a Catherine game or a mass effect game..except I will point out that western game companies have really pushed into the console market this gen (almost abandoning their traditional PC market) where the money has always been AS WELL as what I see as a coordinated (sounds cheezy but go with me here) attack on japanese gaming which has been relentless. People have always hated on western or eastern games for whatever reason (i've been there :D ) but this Gen the anti-japanese bandwagon has really grown. why? competition man.. the americans did this with Cars in the 80's remember,
@Reaverking @King_TigerMK3 I usually agree that you can praise a game without taking down another.But in this case I must agree with King_TigerMK3.Skyrim is shallow and boring in my opinion.And I say this because I remember what Morrowind used to be.
@SoreThumbsBill Heavy Rain is a good enough example to prove im2cool's comment is ludicrous. And I would agree with you on all of the examples you listed, expecially Uncharted & Mass Effect; but also add (even if you don't like the game) CoD, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Deus Ex & God of War. And now we have The Last of Us inbound, which could set a new benchmark for artificial intelligence -- put that in your pipe and smoke it, "im2cool".
@Utahraptor_ Im specifically refering to korean free to play mmos which for the most part are grindfests
@ArcherRO @King_TigerMK3 Morrowind is still one my favorites. Skyrim is still a great game.
@SoreThumbsBill I played Gangrel,Brujah, Ventrue and ofc the Malkavian but my all time favorite is still the skinny malkavian girl using a giant hammer to do stealth kills.
I wish someone would make a proper sequel/remake, I miss that game.
I preferred playing as a Toreador. Sure I didn't get the cool craziness of the Malkavians but I loved seducing almost everyone to get my way or a free meal!
@SoreThumbsBill Thank you.I feel the need to show my love for malkavians as much as possible.I blame it on VtM Bloodlines.
@hellfire2034 Right, but they have enough Americans buying their games to keep releasing them. As long as they sell, it's not going to stop.

I liked this oil a lot at first. I had been using Boscia CO and loved it, and I read that FANCL is actually Boscia's parent company and their line is preservative free and all this other good stuff. I picked some up on a trip to Asia and really liked how it was less drying than Boscia's CO. I really like the texture as well, very similar to Boscia's, but without the tingle. But I think due to its lack of preservatives, this stuff isn't as effective a few months down the line. Each bottle actually has an expiration date and I believe most FANCL products expire after 90 days. Given that it is difficult/expensive for me to get to Canada, and I can't use up a whole bottle in 90 days, I will not be repurchasing.

It works well to remove makeup however it's not life changing. I always follow it with a foam cleanser. Would not repurchase because I'm keen to try other things.
My favorite cleansing oil (and I've tried dhc, bosia, shu uemura, shiseido). Good texture and lasts me roughly 3 months. It's best to buy from their website or a reputable seller because I brought one off ebay and it didn't cleanse as well.
I love Fancl I have been using it as long as I have been using make up, at times I tried out other brands like shu uemura, DHC, and drug store brands like Dove and Neutrogena, nothing beats Fancl.
For those of you who said that it breaks you out - you weren't supposed to leave any traces of this stuff on your skin, you guys clearly hasn't been cleansing your face properly afterwards.
It's amazing. My face feels great after this. It doesn't feel oily at all! My combination skin loves it. Removes makeup instantly! It's super expensive in singapore :-( But my sister went to japan and got this for me at a much cheaper rate! Plus most fancl outlets are closing/closed in singapore which sucks. So if you know any friends/relatives going to japan, ask them to get it for you! Totally worth a try. I would choose this any day over my chu emura cleansing oil! Plus the packaging is simple, great for travelling as the clip ensures no leakages! Removing the clip (roughly) doesn't chip my painted nails too. Try this out :-)
This doesn't work with my skin. It removed makeup fine, as I expected it to. But it broke me out. I know it doesn't have preservatives so it's supposed to be calm on the skin but I think oily stuff doesn't work with my skin the way it seems to work with others' skin. Meh. And I was so excited about it when I first tried it.
So I gave it to my mum. It's fine on her skin but no better than other oil cleansers half its price. By the way I heard that Fancl is shutting down its stores in Singapore soon, so if you want to check this out here, better be fast!
I keep re-purchasing this product because it's the easiest way for me to remove make-up. Still yet to find anything better!
- removes all traces of make-up
- relatively easy to use as it only requires use of fingers and water (no need for cotton pads or use of cleansing creams which leave a sticky residue)
-short shelf-life

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! This has been my HG cleansing oil throughout the years. I've strayed a few times to DHC, Shu, and IPSA, but always come back to this.
- comes in a not-so travel friendly pump form (I deposit it into a small travel tube instead)
- odorless!
- thin consistency (esp if comparing to DHC)
- everything? Really, this cleansing oil is perfect! It does what it's supposed to do - remove all my makeup and grime from the day. It never leaves my skin over stripped either.
- doesn't break out my fussy skin
- preservative free
- short shelf life due to the lack of preservatives - 1 year from manufacture date if unopened, or 4 months after opening. Note: I always end up using this past the recommended 4 months, and have never experienced any issues.
I buy this directly off fancl.com ~$26 per 120mL bottle. High recced!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i have used this product for about a year... ACNE PRONE SKIN BEWARE - this oil clogged up a few of my pores on my cheeks. the pores were not inflamed, but it made my skin bumpy. Once i stopped using this and switched to DHC mild cleansing gel.. it got a bit better. but DHC doesnt clean as well as Fancl. so i switched once again to shisheido tiss oil off (yellow) and it is my hg!! cheaper than fancl and not as oily as fancl
I've used over 10 bottles of this cleansing and I must say I like it very much! This oil is light and it's also odourless. It doesn't clog my pores and my face feels really cleaned after using it. For heavier make-up, you'll need to pump 3 to 4 times. Especially for waterproof mascara that can be quite stubborn, a second round may be needed. Buying it from Japan is so much cheaper! Almost half price compared to SG.

What kinds of germs cause infections in people with cancer?
Bacteria are the smallest forms of life. Biologists believe that bacteria are a separate life form — they are different from plants and animals. Bacteria cause most of the infections in people with cancer. Some bacteria that commonly cause infections in people with cancer include:
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Klebsiella pneumonia
- Escherichia coli (E. coli)
- Salmonella
- Clostridium difficile (C. diff)
- Staphylococcus aureus (Staph aureus)
- Staphylococcus epidemidis (Staph epi)
- Streptococcus viridans
- Pneumococcus
- Enterococcus
Viruses are the smallest known germs. Unlike bacteria, they are not really alive because they cannot grow on their own. Viruses can only make new viruses when they are inside living cells, such as human, animal, or plant cells. Most viral infections in people with very low white blood cell counts are caused by
- Varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles
- Herpes simplex virus (HSV), the virus that causes cold sores and genital herpes
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Other viruses, such as respiratory and hepatitis viruses, may cause problems, too.
Varicella zoster virus
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) can cause serious infections in people with cancer, especially children. Unlike many other infections, a VZV infection never completely goes away even in a healthy person. This means when a person recovers from chickenpox, some of the virus stays in their nerve cells. If the person's immune system is weakened, even many years later, the virus can become active again and cause a problem known as shingles. People with shingles have groups of tiny, painful blisters on their skin. The blisters form along the paths of nerves. The pain from shingles can last long after the blisters go away.
These skin blisters hurt, but the most serious part of VZV infection in people with a weak immune system is that the virus may spread to other organs. This can lead to pneumonia (lung infection) or encephalitis (infection of the brain). There's a high risk of serious damage from VZV in people with low white blood cell counts and weak immune systems. Unlike chickenpox infections in healthy people, VZV infections can be deadly in people with cancer.
Herpes simplex virus
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is from the same family of viruses as varicella zoster. Like varicella zoster, HSV causes mild infections in people with healthy immune systems, but it also stays in their nerve cells. It can become active again years later, especially if the immune system changes. And like varicella zoster, HSV can also cause pneumonia and encephalitis.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in healthy people and it's usually not serious. Many people have the virus in their bodies for years without even knowing it. But when the immune system is weakened, CMV can cause things like serious pneumonia, enteritis (intestinal infection), hepatitis (liver infection), and retinitis (a serious eye infection that can lead to blindness if not treated).
CMV infection can be very hard to treat in people with low white blood cell (WBC) counts, because the drugs that work against the virus also lower the number of WBCs. This makes it hard for the body to fight the infection. Often, the best thing to do for patients with weak immune systems is to try to prevent the infection from flaring up. This is done by giving patients certain anti-viral drugs before their symptoms begin.
Respiratory viruses
Respiratory viruses are those like influenza (the flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other seasonal viruses. They can cause illnesses in people with normal immune systems, but these illnesses may become more severe in those with weak immunity. Respiratory viruses can affect the nose, throat, sinuses, breathing passages, and lungs. Pneumonia, which affects the lungs, is the most serious problem that can be caused by respiratory viruses. Pneumonia is more likely when one of these viruses infects a person whose immune system isn't working well.
The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot every fall and have other household members vaccinated, too. Wash your hands often when viral infections are going around to help decrease the chances of infection. People with low white blood cell counts should try to stay away from crowds and people with these kinds of infections. (See the section called "What can people with cancer do to prevent infections?")
Protozoa are one-celled creatures thought to be the smallest and simplest form of animals. Some protozoa can infect people who have healthy immune systems. But these infections are more common in less-developed countries than in the United States. In the US, protozoa mostly cause disease in people with weak immune systems. People who have organ transplants, cancer, AIDS, or other diseases can get life-threatening infections with protozoa. Common protozoa that can cause serious illness in people with cancer include
- Toxoplasma gondii
- Cryptosporidium
Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is found in soil, cat waste, water contaminated with cat waste, and undercooked meats. It can cause fever and lymph node swelling or no symptoms at all in adults with normal immune systems. It usually stays inactive in healthy people, but when the immune system is weak the infection may become active and damage the brain or heart. People with cancer can have old infections become active again, or they can get infected for the first time while their immune system is weak.
Cryptosporidium is a common cause of diarrhea and stomach pain in people with weak immune systems. It's spread by infected people and animals, often through drinking water or produce contaminated with stool. It can cause very severe diarrhea, leading to malnutrition, weight loss, imbalances in blood chemistry, and dehydration (severe fluid loss).
In humans, fungi can live in balance with other germs that normally live on or in the body without causing symptoms or damage. But fungal infections can happen when there are changes in this balanced environment. Things that can change the normal balance include:
- Damage to the skin or mucous membranes
- Low white blood cell counts
- A weak immune system
- Fewer bacteria than normal on the body's surfaces or mucous membranes (such as the intestines or vagina — this often happens with antibiotic treatment)
Fungal infections can be serious and even deadly. Fungi that commonly infect people with cancer include:
- Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly known as P. carinii)
- Candida (yeast)
- Aspergillus
- Cryptococcus
- Histoplasma
- Coccidioides
Pneumocystis jirovecii
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an atypical fungus that can cause illness in those with weak immune systems. It causes pneumonia and rarely spreads to other organs, but the pneumonia can make it very hard to breathe. Pneumocystis infections are common enough in patients with weak immune systems that sometimes doctors will give an antibiotic to help prevent this illness.
This is the most common fungal infection. Candida can live in a healthy person without causing any problems. Sometimes it may cause a mild skin rash or vaginal discharge (called a yeast infection). In babies, it can cause a mouth infection called thrush. But a person with a weak immune system is at risk for a more serious version of thrush. It can affect the mouth and esophagus (swallowing tube) and may spread to other organs. Candida can also cause bloodstream infections in people with weak immune systems.
Aspergillus is a fungus that's often found in the air and in our environment. It's rarely a problem in healthy people, but it can cause a mild lung infection in people with allergies or asthma. In people with cancer, though, it can cause serious infections of the sinuses, lungs, kidneys, brain, and heart valves in people. This is especially true for those with very low white blood cell counts or those getting cancer treatments that suppress the immune system. This type of infection is often hard to diagnose. Quick, aggressive treatment is needed as soon as it's suspected.
Cryptococcus is found in the soil and in bird droppings, especially pigeon waste. It's thought to be spread by breathing in the germ after it's dried out and gets stirred up into the air. In people with healthy immune systems it may cause a lung infection that goes away without symptoms. But the fungus can remain inactive in the lungs for years. And if the person's immune system becomes weak, Cryptococcus can begin to grow and spread to other parts of the body. One of the most serious outcomes of this infection is meningitis, an infection of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
Histoplasma is another fungus that often infects the lungs of healthy people without causing symptoms or tissue damage. Infection with Histoplasma is quite common in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys in the United States, although it is seen outside of these regions. It's also found in many other parts of the world. People become infected through contact with soil or breathing the dust from soil that contains bird or bat waste. Like Cryptococcus, the fungus may remain inactive for years in the lungs of healthy people. But it can become active if their immune system is weakened. In people with cancer, Histoplasma may cause a serious illness and may spread to the lymph system, liver, spleen, and other organs.
Anyone who has lived in any part of Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia is likely to be infected. People from certain parts of Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia are also likely to be infected with Histoplasma.
Coccidioides causes a fungal disease called coccidioidomycosis or Valley Fever. The fungus lives in the soil in the southwestern United States, parts of Mexico, and Central and South America. People breathe in this fungus when dust containing it is stirred up. Most people with healthy immune systems don't know they have the disease and it goes away on its own. But Coccidioides can cause serious illness in people with weak immune systems. It can spread outside the lungs to the skin, nerves, brain, bones, and joints.

I would love to hear from anyone growing Smith's Best/Giboshi persimmon. When investigating the Saijo persimmon at JF & E, I noticed Smith's Best and was attracted by its apparent cold-hardiness and dwarfish tendencies. (Why not try to squeeze in two varieties, right???? This is how I spend too much $$$ every spring.)
Size of tree & fruit? Productivity? Does it bud late enough to avoid late frosts? I've seen conflicting information on whether it requires pollination. Flavor in comparison to Saijo and other similar astringents? Ripening time? Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated. MK |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mk, I think Shane11 really like this persimmon from previous post, or Creekweb can help you. Tony |
I have a Giboshi but it's a slacker, been in the ground for at least 3 years and in a pot for several years before that and still no fruit. This one is dwarfed, but I don't know if that's because it's a runt. I have seen Giboshi growing elsewhere, and I have harvested and tried the fruit from a pollinated tree. It is one of the PVNA types, so it is quite a bit different from PCA types like Hachiya or Saijo. The consistency is less jelly like and the flavor is more distinct and somewhat spicy. It does have seeds when pollinated and this IMO takes away from its desirablility. Still, I would rate it very good eating. The trees were rather large and ripened mid season. Giboshi has good cold hardiness reputation, the best of the PVNAs. |
- Posted by cousinfloyd 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 19, 12 at 22:27
Creekweb, if I understand what you said correctly, you're saying that you need a pollinator in order to grow good Giboshis, is that right? |
- Posted by mk-in-ohio 5b/6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 20, 12 at 12:44
Thanks, Creekweb. I don't have space for a shy bearer, or a pollinator. So Giboshi probably won't work for me, I guess. JF & E is the only place I've seen that says it is self-pollinating. The only other persimmon that really interested me besides Saijo is Kyungsun bai si. I haven't found that for sale anywhere, maybe everyone just grafts it. I haven't graduated to grafting yet. If it needs pollination, it probably won't work either. Tony, thanks for responding. Any posts you make concerning how your kakis are doing in zone 5 will be greatly appreciated. Mary Kay |
Mk, You can contact Cliff England at England Orchard and he will special graft any persimmons you like American or Kaki. He has a huge scionwoods selection. Good luck, Tony |
Giboshi is one of my favorites for several reasons. It is productive, the tree is dwarf and the fruits are early ripening (around Halloween in my NC garden) and they have an exceptional rich flavor and can be enjoyed before they turn to liquidy. The fruits are acorn or top shaped and medium sized. Giboshi has been self pollinating for me so the fruits are seedless. The tree is extremely cold hardy and was one of the few that survived the Easter freeze of 2007. I lost lots of other asian persimmons in that event. I am honestly surprised that it is not more popular. |
- Posted by mk-in-ohio 5b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 20:00
Shane, Thanks for responding. I had seen from an old thread that you liked this variety, so I was hoping you would comment. Did you purchase your Giboshi somewhere, or did you graft it yourself? How soon did it start bearing? I spoke with Just Fruits & Exotics this week, and they stated that Smith's Best (same as Giboshi?) was self-pollinating, but that the tree they had trialed had taken quite a while to come into bearing, and that perhaps pollination could have sped that along. Do you have other Asians such as Saijo that could have somehow helped the Giboshi along? Thanks again- Mary Kay |
Cousinfloyd, I don't know that you would need to pollinate Giboshi in order to have good tasting fruit. I have only tasted the pollinated and that has been good. Generally, people prefer the taste of PVNA kakis when they've been pollinated over the taste of unpollinated fruit. Mk,I don't consider Giboshi to be a shy bearer; the trees I saw were loaded with persimmons. My own tree has just taken some time to start bearing fruit but that may be for reasons particular to the tree rather than the variety. Kyungsun Bansi is a very good PCA persimmon, with fruit quality IMO superior to that of Saijo, good sized fruit, fairly early, ability to ripen off tree, good record for cold hardiness and reasonably prolific. This one will fruit parthenocarpically, that is without pollination. I know Edible Landscaping has had them in the past and so has Cliff England. Shane11,You mention that your Giboshi trees are self-pollinating, but the fruit has no seeds. How do you know that the blossoms had been pollinated at all, and how do you know that it is the Giboshi itself that has been the source of the pollen rather that one of your other kakis? Why don't you think that it is just setting fruit parthenocarpically? |
I planted my giboshi from jf&e in jan 2011; it's grown fast, 6-8 persimmons on it now......non have dropped yet |
I suppose my tree could be pollinated by saijo but not this year. My lone saijo is in the process of breathing its last and did not set a single bloom this year, my giboshi is loaded. I do have blooming but not in close proximity kyungsun bansi, hana fuyu, and jiro. I do have quite a number of native American varieties planted but I dont think they would be pollinating my giboshi. I have never seen a single seed in giboshi. On the other hand I occasionally will find a seed in saijo though not often. |
I bought Smith�s best this spring but found some yellow spots on the leaves and a bit rolled leaves. So I seperated this plant from the other varieties to avoid any direct contact. Will see, what will happen in future, maybe it is reminescence of some insect infection. I bought it, because Giboshi should grow to medium or dwarf size and should be precoccious. On the other hand, Kyungsun ban si tree can grow to big size and my space is limited now. Any idea, how big are fruit by Giboshi? Similar to Saijo or bigger? |
- Posted by mk-in-ohio 5b (My Page) on Wed, Jun 27, 12 at 12:38
Thanks Creekweb, Shane and Bhawkins for the info on Smith's Best (and Kyungsun ban si.) MK |
Bhawkins What about your Giboshi fruits,did ripe?I would to like to know more about their taste or perhaps some photos would be helpfull too.Is this variety worthfull to grow? |
Theyre very good. A little small, but maybe as the tree matures they'll be better |
Thanks for reply.Are the fruits as small as Saijo fruits or Great Wall?Do you have any photo of fruits?I want to plant it in spring,zone 6b,hope it will be enough cold hardy for my area. |
Bigger than my Saijo, yes. No photo, sorry |
It s okay with photo, for me is enough to know, that fruits are bigger compared to Saijo. Honestly, I do not know anybody who grows this variety, so every advice/experience is useful for me. Suprised that Giboshi is not more common by growers. Do fruits loose astrigency fast or it takes more time? |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 13 at 14:19
Is there a place to buy this cultivar besides Just Fruits & Exotics? They are sold out and have been since September or so. |
- Posted by cousinfloyd 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 13 at 16:12
I don't know if Edible Landscaping has any right now, but they list them in their printed catalog, and I'm sure they'll have them for sale again at some point. |
Do fruits loose astrigency slowly or rapid? |
Indicente, Shane 11 mentioned in earlier post: " Smiths best is possibly my favorite persimmon of all the ones I can grow. I have found that at least in my area in NC it sets a heavy crop without pollination. The fruits will be astringent but seedless and with a very rich flavor. One thing I really like about smiths best is that it loses its astringency quicker than most other astringent varieties, many varieties have to be almost liquid inside before losing astringency but not smiths best. It is also a smaller tree and easily harvested. The only negative things I can think of is that its fruits are in the small to medium size range and little or no fall color on the tree. However the fruits are larger than great wall and in my opinion much better tasting. To me a well ripened smiths best fruit has a very rich flavor with a strong note of vanilla. It is a very good variety". Tony |
Tony Thank you for that post. I prefer smaller, dwarf persimmon varieties and Giboshi should be one of them. It would be good to obtain other, like Tam Kam or Gwang Yang, but I do not know plant source in Europe :-/ |

Can a pollinated Giboshi be eaten firm like a Fuyu? |

I'd like to comment on Red Faction, the first Red Faction games were pretty linear shooters with destruction and also had monsters in them. They also had vehicle sequences such as a submarine and a aircraft. So having monsters, being underground and linear has been in the series since the beginning. I see Armageddon going back to it's roots rather than trying to be something else like Deadspace or limiting the environment.

Hi, We are building a new home and we are almost done. We just sold our house and the new owners want our w/d. In doing the research for a new w/d set we realized that our plumber messed up the vent/gas lines when we had to switch walls. Anyways, in order to have the w/d flush against the wall, we need the dryer to go on the left, washer on the right. I know we can accomplish that with Electrolux and the European brands. The trouble is that we also need the vent to be on the left. I saw that Miele has that but it looks like it's no longer available in the US? Anyways, does anyone know a good option for us? Your help is greatly appreciated it. |
