The A(H1N1)v influenza pandemic is an issue of global concern and constitutes the largest threat to public health seen in recent years. Here, EPHA presents here a few Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
The current figures from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) as of August 25, 2009:
In the EU and EFTA Countries: 43 245 cases including 93 deaths
Outside EU and EFTA countries: 211 702 cases including 2501 deaths
Bringing the Global number to: 254 947 cases including 2594 deaths
All 31 EU/EFTA countries have confirmed cases.
A full break down and daily updated situational report can be found at the ECDC website
Of the 31 EU/EFTA countries, the UK has reported the largest number of cases 12 470 with 40 deaths. The Chief Medical Officer of England, Sir Liam Donaldson, claimed in the UK press that this is due to the large amount of travel between to the United States (which has been the worst affected globally: 43 771 cases and 436 deaths (a/o 10 August 2009)). He stated that the UK's surveillance systems are very well developed, so that cases are more easily identified in the UK than many other countries. In EU/EFTA countries, aside from Lichtenstein that has 5 cases, Latvia and Lithuania are fairing the best with reports of only 23 and 47 cases respectively.
The presentation of type A(H1N1)v has, so far, been fairly mild. In the majority of cases the patients recover quickly after a mild illness. The deaths attributed to A(H1N1)v influenza have been restricted, for the most part, to at-risk-groups (defined as older people, young children, pregnant women and people with underlying health conditions). However this must not be cause for complacency. Epidemiological data from the 1918 and 1958 influenza pandemics show that the viruses, while initially having a mild presentation 'turned nasty,' as they headed into winter. It can also be seen from previous pandemics that there is often an initial spike in case numbers and then a lag period for a few months before the peak onset of the pandemic.
So far Europe has been 'lucky' in that this pandemic struck as we were heading into summer, a period when, in temperate climates (such as northern Europe) influenza is typically less virile and transmission less frequent. However as we head towards winter, epidemiological data from previous pandemics has shown us that the influenza virus can become more virile. The additional problem presented by colder seasons in a pandemic year is seasonal flu, the disease burden of which remains significant. In a moderate year in the EU, seasonal influenza, contributes to around 40 000 excess deaths and 220 000 in a bad year. It can also be observed that during pandemic years, the seasonal flu virus is invigorated with new genetic material and can become more vigorous. So we can be reasonably clear that heading into winter, the situation will get worse.
In cases of Pandemic or the build up to a pandemic, decision makers have two options, containment or mitigation. The two are not mutually exclusive but in both cases it is a question of timing and location. In the case of A(H1N1)v influenza, containment (the quarantine or isolation of an area or population to prevent transmission) is for the most part no longer a viable option. There are some situations where containment remains plausible, with already isolated communities or personal quarantine (such as staying at home or avoiding crowded areas). However, generally speaking, it is too late for containment and it is not recommended in stage 5 & 6 of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Pandemic response. Mitigation of the effects of the pandemic through surveillance, vaccination and where possible, treatment is the sole remaining option for the vast majority of the population. Mitigation strategies have in past situations been seen to blunt, delay or flatten epidemic peaks and buy time. This is not a perfect strategy but is the most effective at this stage.
Various systems exist presently to monitor influenza strains in preparation of an outbreak. The WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network was established in 1952 and consists of over 120 National Influenza Centres in over 90 countries that monitor influenza activity and isolate influenza viruses in every region of the world. This network feeds into the Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network (GOARN) which is a WHO-led technical collaboration of existing institutions and networks who pool human and technical resources for the rapid identification, confirmation and response to outbreaks of international importance.
In Europe, the ECDC runs a project called the European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (EISS) that has been providing weekly updates on the Influenza situation in Europe since 1996. The WHO Europe regional office also feeds into the EISS. The ECDC is an executive agency of the European Commission, works to identify emerging health threats and to neutralise them early on. DG SANCO is constantly monitoring and feeding into the WHO surveillance systems, as are all the EU Member States.
The WHO identified the virus and provided vaccine manufacturers with the seed virus in the spring. Vaccines are made from generating an immune reaction to a piece of material biologically similar to the virus or from an attenuated form of the virus itself. The seed virus is the material that the vaccine must be based on to illicit the necessary immune response and begin manufacture of the virus. Information from the European Vaccine Manufacturers (EVM) states that batch production for initial test phase (required by EMEA and other medicines authorities) has begun by several producers.
"Manufacturers stand ready to move into full-scale production as soon as requested by national authorities and the WHO. Some manufacturers who are not producing seasonal influenza vaccines have initiated full-scale production already" says EVM. Seasonal flu vaccine production is nearing completion for most manufacturers and so it will be possible for them to switch to preparation of pandemic flu vaccines. The WHO has stated that if vaccine manufacturers can reach the same volume of production as they do for seasonal flu, it will be possible, worldwide, produce 4.9 Billion doses of vaccine for A(H1N1)v influenza, however a more conservative estimate put this at 1-2 billion doses.
Early September is the best estimate for the production of the first usable quantity of vaccine. According to the European Commissioner for Health, Androula Vassiliou, the first 60 million of these doses will be earmarked for health professionals and at-risk-groups. Worldwide, the decision on which groups will be prioritised to receive the vaccine will be taken by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation (SAGE) at the WHO.
The swine flu virus has spread to almost every country in the world. In addition, the Southern hemisphere winter influenza season is now under-way - making the population inhabiting the region, the majority of them developing countries, particularly vulnerable to the pandemic.
The swine flu vaccine is expected to enter the market in September at the very earliest. While governments of rich countries are already placing orders for hundreds of millions of vaccine doses to meet the needs of their citizens (i.e. France, the UK, the US and Australia), poor countries may have to fall in line at the back of this queue for limited supplies. Almost all of the global vaccine production capacity is located in only 9 developed countries. It is highly likely that commitments will be made to meet the needs of the populations within the countries that can afford the vaccines. "The lion's share of these limited supplies will go to wealthy countries. Again we see the advantage of affluence. Again we see access denied by an inability to pay" - said Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO. The threat of the world's potential stock of the vaccine running out and prices massively increasing could become a reality.
The WHO is negotiating with vaccine producers to increase global access to vaccines, to place a portion of the vaccine manufacturers' profits into a fund for developing countries, to secure donations or tiered pricing for developing countries, while wealthy countries are asked to donate some of their vaccine stocks and to conserve global stocks.
Until a mechanism of delivery of sufficient vaccine has been established, developing countries will be endangered by inadequate or unaffordable supplies of the swine flu vaccine.
DG SANCO is maintaining a continuous presence in Luxembourg throughout the crisis and will continue to monitor developments and coordinate best practice examples of pandemic response. THE ECDC is providing daily updates and coordinating joint actions between EU Member States. The Commissions role comes down to attempting to boost solidarity between Member States, the sharing of stockpiled antivirals and eventually coordinating the distribution of vaccines. The Commission recently released a Communication on seasonal influenza vaccination in which it stresses, while not making any specific recommendations on, the importance of solidarity in the face of pandemic influenza.

The first impressions will be broadcasted live at Friday evening from 8.00pm (CEST) on. On Saturday we begin the preliminary reports around midday. The racestart is planed at Saturday at 3.00 pm.

What brands/ types of pesticides and weed killers would you recommend?
liquid weed killer vs bagged? (I used a Spectracide concentrate mix - used in a pump sprayer- that claimed to see results within hours, but no luck).
AND since I had those ticks (and other noticeable bugs in my grass) What does my communal bloggers reccomend for pesticides?

I have already pulled a tick off my ankle last week. NOW THIS MORNING I find a FULLY ENGORGED TICK!!
EEWWW! I couldn't believe I found her lying next to my bed on the floor!
I did research, and it's a FULLY engorged female wood tick!! I have questions, and need to know where to go.
1) Where do I get her tested?
2) Should I even have her tested (for lyme)
3) Did she lay eggs before detatch?
4) How do I look for traces of where she came from?

Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On January 18, 2012 @ 10:37 am In Economics,eRoadPro Newsletter,News & Analysis | No Comments
U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $77 million in grants to 22 University Transportation Centers (UTC) to advance transportation research and education programs.
The UTCs conduct research that directly supports DOT priorities.
DOT's Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), which administers the UTC program, selected 10 UTCs, two transit-focused UTCs and 10 regional UTCs. Each of the selected UTCs will receive a $3.5 million grant to match with funds from non-federal sources.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

John Lipsky, First Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, has praised
Estonia's fiscal policy after a meeting with Prime Minister Andrus Ansip
in Washington on July 21.
On a two-day trip to the US, Ansip will also visit the White House to meet
with Vice-President Joe Biden and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives John Boehner.
Ansip and the IMF official discussed Estonia's experience during the
recession. "We are pleased to see very good results with Estonia's exiting
the crisis and hope that this country will continue its successful path
and make additional reforms that will further enhance the competitiveness
and growth prospects of the economy," Lipsky told an ERR correspondent in
the US.
Ansip responded: "We believe that a rapid reaction to a crisis situation
is the only right move, because it's less painful than a slow response. We
were convinced that the crisis could be overcome."

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage. | 1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. |
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. | 2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. |
3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law. | 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. |
4 Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace. | 4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. |
5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness. | 5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. |
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love. | 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. |
7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth? | 7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? |
8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you. | 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. |
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. | 9 "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." |
10 *I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be. | 10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. |
11 But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away. | 11 Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. |
12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion. | 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! |
13 For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another. | 13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. |
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; | 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." |
15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another. | 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. |
16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust. | 16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. |
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; | 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. |
18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law. | 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. |
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, | 19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; |
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion, | 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions |
21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom. | 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. |
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, | 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law. | 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. |
24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts. | 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. |
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit. | 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. |
26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another. | 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. |

Man escapes sheriff's police custody outside Chicago Heights hospital
Sun-Times Media August 16, 2014 12:04PM
Updated: August 16, 2014 6:34PM
A man taken into custody by the Cook County sheriff's police after being pepper-sprayed at a house party in Ford Height escaped police custody outside a Chicago Heights hospital early Saturday, authorities said.
The sheriff's police were called about a rowdy party near 14th Place and Woodlawn sometime after 2 a.m. and found people spilling onto the street, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Cara Smith.
Smith said officers used pepper spray to get the crowd under control and that a 32-year-old man, arrested for obstruction of justice, was taken to St. James Hospital as a precaution after being sprayed.
After he was treated at the hospital, he resisted being placed into a squad car and ran away, Smith said.

I love this one because it is simple and nutritious! this no-fuss wrap is rich in anti-oxidant rich veggies like tomatoes, spring onions, carrots, bean sprouts and lettuce that help reverse ageing. Not only is this wrap nutritious, it is also luscious due to presence of fresh herbs like coriander and mint. Wrap it up in a spinach roti for that fresh green look!

Want the answers to questions about the iPhone? You'll find questions and answers here.
When the phone is locked and i received a call, the options iam getting are "Remind Me", "Message", and "Slide to Answer" but not an "Decline" option.
But the phone is showing up "Decline option" when i received a call on an unlocked phone.
Am I missing anything here. Is there any go to decline the call when the phone is locked.
Silence a call. Press the Sleep/Wake button or either volume button. You can still answer the call after silencing it, until it goes to voicemail.
Decline a call and send it directly to voicemail. Do one of the following:
• Press the Sleep/Wake button twice quickly.
• Press and hold the center button on your headset for about two seconds. Two low beeps confirm that the call was declined.
• Tap Decline (if iPhone is awake when the call comes in).
Thanks for replying.
Can you please help me with this Sleep/Awake button. Where can i find it. I want to decline the call.
Attached is the screen i can see when the phone is locked and i get a call.

On December 19th, Chair Entertainment released the latest content update for Infinity Blade 3. Ausar Rising sees the addition of dozens of new items, several new quests, two game modes, and a handful of new enemies. To round things out, we get a collection of unclear features and a heavy dose of bugs.
Unfortunately, this update doesn't address the issues we had in our original review: Gameplay is still essentially the same as it's been since Infinity Blade 1, leveling is still heavily tied to currency, and there are still too few answers as to what the heck is happening in this world.
The update is not meant to address any of these things. Like with earlier content updates, Chair is just looking to add more of what is already in the game: more gear, levels, quests and game modes.
Let's start with gear. There are several dozen new items in the update. In the last update, Chair made the mistake of adding low level items. If you were using a higher level character on a higher awakening, this created a situation where using the new item was detrimental to your progress. In Ausar Rising, all the items are mid to high level, so unless you are very far into the game, you are going to get some use out of them.
Chair has also added a new tier to the leveling tree, with four new skills for each of the characters. This feature is a mixed bag. Some of the skills are very powerful, such as gem master. Others, like potion master, are less amazing. Then there is the tier four magic skill, High Archmage, which seems unclear. I reallocated my skills to try it and it did nothing. It says it provides unlimited magic, but I still had to wait for my meter to fill and after using it the meter emptied.
Armed with new items and skills, we can explore the new quests. The update has added two new story quests to try and expand the Infinity Blade universe. The quests are well-made, with excellent voice acting and art, but like all of the Infinity Blade 3 quests, they still don't reveal much about what is happening. I found this to be the biggest disappointment of the update– the Infinity Blade universe is rather compelling, and I would have liked to learn more about it.
The final addition to the update is two new game modes. The first is arena, where the player is challenged to defeat enemies in waves. Completing these waves earns a reward that can either be claimed or be risked to take on another, more difficult, wave. This repeats until the player takes their reward or dies, losing it all.
The second game mode is Deathless Mode. Here the player essentially plays the game through again, but with only one life. The player can only take the items they currently have equipped, as well as their potions. If you're killed in Deathless Mode, you'll lose all the items you brought. However, in a neat twist, if the player makes their way back to the titan that killed them, they can take revenge and get back those lost items.
The final part of Deathless Mode is how it's connected to leveling gear. If the player can clear Deathless Mode, they increase the item level cap to 15. If they can complete Deathless Mode five times, they can raise the cap to 20. It's worth mentioning the significance of the level 15 cap, because all items at level 15 have essentially the same stats as those of a similar kind of item. This means that a player can now choose the gear they want to based on its visual appeal, so long as they don't mind grinding out more levels.
Ausar Rising tops things off with some pretty big bugs, the most severe of which is the reported wiping of saves. Thankfully I was spared. However, I was not spared from the issue that keeps you from being able to access the last act of the game.
So far, Chair has still not said when this will be addressed, which illustrates an important lesson for game developers: Don't put out your biggest update ever the weekend before Christmas.
Review update written by Jess Sterzl on January 6, 2014.
There's a good reason why new Infinity Blade games always take center stage at Apple's hardware unveilings. With each new installment, the series pushes the limits of what can be achieved visually on mobile devices. Infinity Blade III offers the incredible visuals that players are expecting, but it also feels like it's reviving the same old mechanics, with only slight improvements.
It makes sense that this third Infinity Blade game should feel a bit familiar. The overarching theme of the Infinity Blade series is a cycle of death and rebirth, with a hero who becomes gradually more experienced despite consistent (and expected) failure. In the first game, this rebirth mechanic allowed players to revisit a solitary castle over and over again, gaining strength through generations of heroes, slowly building up your skills until you could defeat the God King.
This mechanic originated as a clever way to encourage replayability, without forcing the developers to build a sprawling game world. But in Infinity Blade III, this repetition can become tiresome, especially because the game includes an expanded storyline and progression of environments. Forcing players to repeatedly spend time in smaller zones doesn't advance the story– it just puts everything on pause until the player is strong enough to defeat an end-level boss.
Another reason these combat zones can feel unexciting is because the gameplay mechanics haven't changed since the last game. You'll still approach each enemy individually, use swipes and taps on the touchscreen to dodge, defend, and attack, and then count up your experience points after the match is over. Between fights, you can enjoy gorgeously-rendered backgrounds and hunt for hidden resources, but the core combat is exactly the same.
In the past few years, games like Horn and Avengers Initiative have improved on Infinity Blade's swipe combat by adding additional movement, breakable environments, and special abilities. Infinity Blade III seems content to just add frightful new monsters and pretty backgrounds, instead of improving on the original gameplay.
Infinity Blade III does make several improvements outside of the core fighting, though. In addition to Siris, you can now play as a second character, Isa. Isa has her own unique armor and gear, but you'll have to level her up separately from Siris. It can feel like a bit of a downgrade when you are forced to switch from a high-level character back to the other, with fewer abilities and weaker gear.
Isa also feels like a missed opportunity for new kinds of gameplay. Her missions show her creeping around in the shadows and firing crossbow bolts at enemies. At first, we were hopeful this indicated a new stealth mode. After all, why should these characters duel their enemies like noble knights, instead of just picking them off quietly? But Isa's crossbow is just for show– you still have to walk up to each enemy and engage them in a one-on-one fight, with no visible damage from the crossbow.
In addition to the extra playable character, in Infinity Blade III you can brew potions, and eventually, utilize a blacksmith to improve your weapons and armor. Each of these actions requires collecting a lot of resources (herbs are now scattered throughout the levels, in addition to gold), and they each have their own countdown timers. You can bypass the timers by spending in-game premium currency, which is acquired by achieving specific goals, like taking down an enemy without receiving damage. You can also hurry along the process by dying in the game, waiting patiently, or spending real-world money.
The potions and blacksmith add a new degree of depth, as does a merchant ship which offers special discounts on high-end gear. You may still find yourself unable to purchase expensive, brand-new armor, and like in the previous games, once you've maxed out a particular piece of gear, you'll miss out on experience points until you equip something new. This forces the player to constantly change gear, which means that even if you become attached to a particular item, your use for it is only temporary.
Infinity Blade III has a storyline that's more involved than the previous games, partly because the two main characters will split up and explore different zones while they try to gather their strength for a final attack on the main villain. Even with new supporting characters and a variety of environments, from castles to desert ruins, the combat starts to feel repetitive before long. Even the available side-missions, like individual challenges and Clash Mobs, stretch the original concept fairly thin.
In many ways, Infinity Blade III is grandiose and gorgeous, and the gear that you can unlock is exquisitely detailed. However, the taps and swipes that propel the actual gameplay are starting to feel like the least engaging part of the experience. If you loved the first two games, you will definitely want to see the new environments and characters that inhabit this strange, anachronistic world. Just be prepared to go through the same motions– literally– again and again.

I'm just getting started, but perhaps you can inform me of what ones have pinstriped leaves (white), other variegated types. I prefer ones that arn't real invasive - are they similar to bamboo - clump and invasive?? What are your favorites? Flowers? I have a yellow/green leaved one, but as it matures, the leaves end up more green. The new growth is still variegated. Wish I could see your GINGERLAND!! |

What I'd like to see in Copernic Desktop Search
I've been using Copernic Desktop Search for several months now and I think it's really a great program, especially as it is free. I've recently tried X1, to see if I'm missing anything, but I decided that for the steep price there's not enough X1 can offer me. This is even more true for the new (beta) version 1.5 of CDS, where a lot of features have been added.
Although things have been extended a lot, there are still a lot of features that are restricted for no apparent reason. Here's my list of things I'd like to see implemented/changed in CDS. In case anybody at Copernic reads this... personally, I'd be willing to pay a price for CDS, it doesn't have to be free. I also have licenses for Agent Professional, Tracker and Summarizer. Just don't make it as expensive as X1 :-)
- Search overall. Why do I always have to specify first which kind of file I'm searching for?
- For Thunderbird, index at least all locally stored folders, including offline folders. I'm using Thunderbird with IMAP, and apart from several weirdly named folders (like "02c67ac5"), I can only select my RSS folders for indexing, nothing else. Some of my IMAP and news group folders are offline folders and could be indexed as such.
- For Outlook, index appointments and notes. I don't use Outlook for mail or contacts, so that support is useless for me.
- Index favourites and history for more than one browser. Who uses just one browser these days? Why does there have to be a restriction to only one browser?
- Indexing of OneNote data. At least this could be added by a custom extractor (I have an upcoming post on that) in the future.
- Indexing of IMAP mail servers.
- Configuration for the allowance of system load. Currently I can't influence when CDS thinks my system's resources are highly used, and therefore stops indexing. There are often very many processes running on my system and CDS stops indexing much too often. Nevertheless, generally the Copernic implementation of unintrusive background indexing works great, compared with X1 again.
Compiling Developer Express libraries for VS.NET 2005
I've been using Developer Express components with VS.NET 2005 (beta 1) for a while, but nearly always in forms that I had previously created with VS.NET 2003. Now, suddenly some problems showed up when these old forms were edited, specifically with XtraGrids and XtraEditors on them.
These problems were quite severe, as the VS designer would simply refrain from persisting all properties that are stored in "inner objects" of the main component. This concept is used all over the DX libraries, for example for the Properties property in the XtraEditors library and the Styles and Views properties of the GridControl. A single modification in the designer would trigger recreation of the InitializeComponent method, thereby effectively destroying the form.
The funny (and good) thing about this is that I found the necessary modifications in the source code files already. As far as I know, DX distribute compiled versions for VS.NET 2005 to the customers that need them, and I guess these versions are actually compiled with the modifications enabled. Using the standard distribution, on the other hand, these modifications are not active by default!
What you need to do is this: Add a constant DXWhidbey
to the constant list of the configuration you are compiling for, for all the projects in the DX source code. If you do this within VS, it should look like this (for the Debug configuration):
You can also edit the .csproj file yourself (or use search/replace), in that case the changed line should look like this:
Recompile all the libraries and voilá: Working persistence in VS.NET 2005.

Multi-Codepage Zope and Structured Text
I was recently trying to find a solution for a problem with code pages in Zope, in conjunction with Structured Text. The basic problem, which is discussed all over the web, is this: the correct code page has to be configured in the running Zope instance to make STX work correctly with "non-US" ASCII characters. If this is not done, there'll be problems with special formatting, because STX can't find the borders of words correctly.
Example: *zaczęło*
should really appear as zaczęło and **Frühstück** as Frühstück, they appear as *zaczęło* and **Frühstück**, respectively. Or one of them would work, but not the other, because these two words need different code pages: zaczęło needs ISO 8859-2 and Frühstück needs ISO 8859-1.
The problem is that STX is dependent on the code page configured for the running Zope instance. As there can obviously be only one code page configured at a time, this is a problem when there are pages that need one code page and others that need another one. Two solutions seemed useful, but didn't prove to really work in the end:
- Not using STX. There are other variants of the Structured Text concept, which might not have the same problems. I didn't really check no this because it wasn't an option in my situation; too much text had already been written in STX format over the course of several years and it had been hard enough to have users understand that concept the first time.
- Using Unicode, just like I'm doing in this page, to be able to mix characters from different code pages. I actually tried going this way, but it didn't work. While the Unicode encoding would allow for the characters to be shown correctly by the end users' browsers, the STX implementation still had the same problems as before, parsing the strings when formatting was in use.
In the end, my workaround was simple: I changed the regular expressions in the STX implementation to work with whatever characters there might be between the start and end markers. The original expressions went out of their way to make sure there would only be specific characters, and that was the core of the problem because that character set was the one that would be defined depending on the code page.
For example, the line where the strong marker was searched for looked like this:
expr = re.compile(r'\*\*([%s%s%s\s]+?)\*\*' % (letters, digits, strongem_punc)).search
I used this expression instead:
expr = re.compile(r'\*\*([^*]+?)\*\*').search
I made similar changes in the places where the em and ul markers are checked. Of course, my changes allow a wider range of characters between the markers than would originally be allowed, which may have its own problems. But the workaround seems to work fine for me, as long as no real fix is available (and there probably won't be because I don't think anyone's really still working on the old STX implementations).

Scents in Scented Candles
Name: Janine Status: Educator Grade: 9-12 Location: TX Country: USA Date: January 2005
In a common scented wax candle, is the fragrance bound to the paraffin or simply incorporated into the candle as discrete droplets? If bound to the paraffin, is it by hydrogen bonding? I realize there are many scent and candle types, but I would appreciate any simple example. This question arose when I received an electronic unit that allows the scent to be released from an unlit glass-encased candle.
Electrically activated scented units have low--power heaters that cause the fragrant oil to evaporate. In candles, the heat of the candle burning provides the heat. In both cases there is more "technology" than you would expect at first. The scented oil may/may not be sufficiently soluble in the wax. The scent must be non-toxic, although some people are allergic to the chemicals. The scent must not decompose in the flame -- at least it must not produce smoke,soot, or toxic combustion products.
The paraffin does not hydrogen bond to any extent -- remember the paraffin is basically a high molecular weight hydrocarbon. Most of the scenting chemicals have a powerful odor so it does not require much solubility in the wax to be effective.

I have a quick question here. I have been researching this and I can't find anyone anywhere that is doing it, or reasons why it could or couldn't be done.
anyway I am hoping to attempt to cross breed root sytems of plants. I'm going to start with something woody. I have two heirloom thornless antique rose plants and three common rose plants. I want to cut a part of the root off both plants and notch them just like you would a graft and then bury and see what happens. I'm not sure if this has been done before or not but my end goal would be peanuts and potates. Give some of the more fragile rooted variaties some stronger roots and maybe even find a cross that makes the roots hardy and frost resitant someday. Any advice? |

Well this is grafting to root stock not crossbreeding . This is how dwarf fruit trees are made by grafting standard scions onto dwarf root stock . tomatoes tops have been grafted onto potato roots with lousy results . both crops were badly inferior ! |

It can make a nice amusing hobby. I may try grafting tomato onto potato this year, JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT. You've got to have some fun in the garden as well. and make Dr. Frankenstein type of experiments in the plant kingdom. (grin!!!) |

More reviews by beautygirl01201
I still get some color on my face without getting burned. Great protection from the sun and doesn't make my face breakout. Love it!
I used this product for 6 yrs. It was the only sunscreen that didn't break me out. It worked well for the way my skin was, but unfortunately, these last 2 yrs I've been seeing sundamage coming to the surface. This product may have helped with uvb protection, but it didn't help with uva.
man, one lippie off for finding out from the previous MUA reviews that this doesn't provide UVA protection. but thanks for the info guys. it's a real shame coz i love this and i've just bought a second tube to stock up! it moisturizes well, keeps my skin matte for most of the day and it hasn't made me break out. also great as a makeup base as it really makes your foundation 'stick' well and evenly across your face without making your face look greasy.
This made me break out with zits and left my skin looking like an oil well. Might work for someone else, but its just horrible stuff to me.

This was my HG daily facial moisturizer for years when I was younger and had bad acne. It is creamy and moisturizing without being oily--just AWESOME under makeup. I didn't stop using it for any reason other than to experiment with other brands. Would definitely buy again.

Too bad what the last review said about this not having UVA protection! :-( After using this on and off for years, and loving it everytime I have used it, I'm very sad to find out this bit of information. In any case, I personally think this sunblock is so good, that to me is more of a face cream than a sunblock. I used to use it years ago and my face glowed...I thought it was because I was pregnant but after finding my old tube, and looking at the ingredients I'm thinking maybe it was this! :-P It has Aloe vera, vitamin E, collagen and elastin. I started using it again a few weeks ago and I can see a definite improvement in my skin. I might just use this as a face cream and slap on a stronger sunblock on top of it.
I just tossed mine after a 2 weeks because I found out (through information from an article in the New York Times) that it has no UVA protection. If you want UVA protection (and you should as UVA are the dreaded aging and cancer-causing rays!) the product should include one of the following ingredients: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, or mexoryl.
I am now trying out Neutrogena's line of sunscreens, as well as Shiseido's ultimate sun protection cream, both of which do provide UVA protection.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this as a moisturizer/sunscreen and base for my mineral foundation. My skin is very oily but my winter SS (Avon Becoming Brighter Days), though oil-free and more fluid feeling than the BB, hasn't been working in the humid warmer months. Strangely, the BB goes on very thick and creamy but seems to make a more matte base for later makeup applications than the Becoming SS. I put this on right out of the shower, dress myself and my toddler, then get to makeup about 10 minutes later. As others have mentioned below, it doesn' provide complete UV protection so you should try to layer it with cosmetics that provide full-spectrum coverage. This has not broken me out or caused itching under the beating sun as some sunscreens/blocks have done for me in the past. Plus, it was only $8-$9 for 4 oz., a steal compared to many facial ss. Just edited this review to make the score a 4, oops!
Love this product. It acts as a fantastic base for foundation (better than most high end moisturizers without sunscreen!), moisturizes,isn't greasy, and doesn't make me break-out. Perfect.
I liked the texture of this sunscreen. It's a bit thick out of the tube but sinks in quickly, doesn't leave a white cast and is not greasy. It didn't break me out either. Unfortunately, it does not provide UVA I protection. Anyway, the company does not list the full ingredients on the tube so I called them asking for the complete ingredients and they sent me the following by mail:
Active Ingredients

As the owner of HomePage Remedy I am committed to delivering highly functional and engaging website design, website development, Web applications, e-commerce, motion graphics, graphic design, print and Internet marketing solutions. Simply put, I design, build, and market solutions that exceed expectations and produce results - on time and on budget.
Information architecture is the science — some would insist art — of defining the structure, organization, navigation, labeling and indexing of a Website. It is the role of the information architect to decide how a site should be structured, what kind of content it should host, and how to accommodate future growth. In short, information architecture defines the backbone of a Website.
It all started with Responsive Web Design, an article by Ethan Marcotte on A List Apart. Essentially, the article proposed addressing the ever-changing landscape of devices, browsers, screen sizes and orientations by creating flexible, fluid and adaptive Web sites. Instead of responding to today's needs for a desktop Web version adapted to the most common screen resolution, along with a particular mobile version (often specific to a single mobile device), the idea is to approach the issue the other way around: use flexible and fluid layouts that adapt to almost any screen.
HomePage Remedy is a brand driven Web Design Company. Establishing and further developing your company's brand identity for the Web and online media is our key focus and interest. Our focus is to establish concept and identity that can be carried through the entire site, building a consistent visual presence and brand message for the Web and preferably across all media.
The planning phase is the most important part of the process and lays down the foundation in which the entire project is built from. It's especially important in an agile process because it can change the scope and depth of a project based on what is found.
If you're not familiar with the concept of an agile workflow, it essentially means that you break a project up in such a way that will allow you to quickly and easily adapt to changes. This will allow you to have the best possible final product because you are able to continuously adapt and change.
For a user to understand a website they must be able to understand how the website works. This affects their experience. User experience is related to layout, clear instructions and labeling on a website. The user must understand how they can interact on a site. In relation to continued use, a user must perceive the usefulness of that website if they are to continue using it. With users who are skilled and well versed with website use, this influence relates directly to how they perceive websites, which encourages further use. Therefore users with less experience are less likely to see the advantages or usefulness of websites. This in turn should focus, on design for a more universal use and ease of access to accommodate as many users as possible regardless of user skill.
The developmental stage is the point where the web site itself is created. At this time, we will take all of the individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the actual, functional site.
Once you give HomePage Remedy final approval, it is time to deliver the site. An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program is used to upload the web site files to your server. At this time the site should be put through one last run-through. This is just precautionary, to confirm that all files have been uploaded correctly, and that the site continues to be fully functional.

HomePage Remedy is a multi-disciplinary design studio working with organizations big and small. We have a fascination with comprehensive minimalism including an emphasis in creating engaging, intelligent, and beautiful Web Sites.
As we move further into the 21st century, Internet technologies are becoming an essential part of our personal and professional lives. For business owners, having an online presence is almost mandatory if they want to stay ahead of the competition. What is more, having a site created by a professional website design agency can in fact boost marketing and sales strategies in ways that would not be possible otherwise.
In the first place, professional websites can increase the visibility of a business, blog, or organization. In turn, increased visibility will multiply the chances of attracting potential customers or followers. And needless to say, more customers translate into higher revenues, particularly because having a website allows 24/7 access to customers.

Are there any good places to visit around the Fayetteville/Bentonville area? We probably won't have a lot of time and I prefer to visit someplace that has markers with plant names (so I can add to my wish list).
Has anyone visited the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks in Fayetteville yet? I found a website for it and it says it opens in 2006. I wonder if it is already open. We'll have the kids with us and it has a childrens garden so I think that would be something they would enjoy too. Or maybe it's just getting started and not much to see yet. Anyone know? Thanks |
Here is a link that might be useful: Botanical Garden of the Ozarks
Follow-Up Postings:
If I remember right, the Botanical Gardens have their official opening in October. The roses were planted this spring, I'm pretty sure. Compton Garden in Bentonville is a wonderful newer garden of native plants (with markers) and a beautiful nature walk. It's only a block or two from the square in downtown Bentonville. Peel House is in front of the WalMart Super Center and well worth a stop. |

Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The team is part of the National League.
We are more in love than ever!
Love beyond the fence! Remember the first time you got in love? You never knew what happened, it just happened. Reason is Ouuut! We all know Lovemark's principles and specially this: After a consumer falls in love with your brand YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT HIM/HER. Well, Chicago CUBS just broke that rule. After a hundred years of not being the World Series Champions, we are more in love than ever!!! GO CUBS!!!!
Hawaiian Puncher, United States - 07 May 2008
Proud to tell everyone
I have been a die-hard Cubs fan since I was little. Even though they havn't won since 1908, this year they're going to win the World Series. Last year, when they lost in the pennant game, I didn't take my Cubs flag down until the 3rd game of the World Series. Being in the military, I've lived all over the US. I'm proud to tell everyone I meet that I'm from the Chicagoland, and a Cubs fan.
Rich, United States - 24 June 2004
Loyalty is a long-term relationship
As a former Chicagoan, The Cubs ARE Chicago, they epitomize loyalty, they establish community and they stand alone in baseball as a team with fans - albeit they have not won a championship in...how many years? It has been too long to remember --- thus branded as losers. Now in 2003 they are leading in their division and the loyalists are scratching their heads..."Is this supposed to happen? This is the CUBS" The loyalty is paying off - and if they lose? They still have the strongest fan base in the country!

Togo Antique Market
A lack of Japanese language skills is no barrier to enjoying this terrific market on the grounds of the Togo Shrine—just bring pad and pen, and negotiate the price on paper. Here is the place to find beautiful early-20th-century kimonos and other textiles; winsome antique Japanese dolls; miniature multidrawer cabinets; scrolls emblazoned with stunning calligraphy; and other items you just will not see at the flea markets back home. Bonus: the market is not far from the Harajuku district, so after you shop you can watch the neighborhood's trendy dolled-up girls strut in all their glory.

Open / Closes- Accessible by Public Transportation
