The Samsung M8910 Pixon 12 is undoubtedly the best camera phone we've used. It produces great pictures, is easy to use and has all the modern features you'd expect. However it's scratch-prone touchscreen, poor music playback, and a few other niggles mean it's not a phone we'd outright recommend.

Hull, Hedger and Related Families Home PageUpdated October 11, 2001 | |
This page focusses on the genealogy of its creator, Katherine Hull. The families included in this web tree are HULL, HEDGER, SATTERFIELD, PEARCE, MCKINNEY, EPPENBERGER, BRANDT and several others. Most of these family names can most recently be found in Southern Illinois, although their tracable origins are the colonial US states, England, Prussia, Switzerland and other areas. I encourage fellow researchers to contact me should they have any questions or can clarify some "dead-ends." I am always pleased to hear from and aid my fellow genealogical researchers. |

A very sad, beautiful song.
Oh, and you guys have to listen to the new Dirty Projectors album!
It's the shit.
Anyway, there's not much to report but that, and that's part of the problem. Life is boring as shit, once again. God, I'm so bored of high school, and especially all the people I have to share it with.
I don't even have the ability to articulate this right now, cause I'm tired, distracted, and still have a bunch of homework to do, but still.
It's all just such shit, based on people who were born wealthy getting douchebaggy about the things their parents have bought for them.
Those are the people who do those uniquely teenage things, like carrying their keys around all over the place or on a lanyard just to pronounce their badassery.
Well, you know, so many things kids do with their cars, the way they talk about driving so incessantly... and parking... and cars... and anything to do with having a driver's licence.
Honestly, it just really gets dull after so many times hearing it, so often.
And most kids, if they're not douchebags, are the other kind of dull, which is just boring-dull.
We have our Homecoming Dance coming up, and it's like 25$ to go, per fucking person, which is like $50 per couple.
That's a fucking lot.
Anyway, I'm just honestly getting so tired of the materialism and douchebaggery and unthinking boring-ness, it's really just getting really, really dull.
But I suppose I shouldn't be inflating my dick either, I'm hardly too exciting.
Anyway, this just degenerated to complaining, once again, and I'm sorry about that guys, I really am.
I've just been feeling a little more pessimistic than usual.
I guess I don't have much to complain about, I'm alive, aren't I? And that's not a given, so I should enjoy it.
But it just makes it that much worse I spend this precious life 7 hours a day just sitting, listening to a teacher talk...
Night Oasies.
You crack me up, bro.
Agreed, though. Totally bored. Some day you should leave after orchestra with me and we can go fuck around and do fun stuff, yeah?
That's redick!
But, please: no attempts at seduction! OK?
and besides who wants chad's gross everything, yuck.
That's redick!
Now... there's a concept that requires some mulling over! :)
However... the rest, I "get."

Worship on Sundays
We try and provide a diverse range of worship during our Sunday and weekday meetings. This not only allows us to have gatherings that are suitable for all, but also encourages us to explore praising God and meeting with Him in new ways.
Our Sunday Services are supported by several different worship bands, composed of musicians and singers of all ages, and playing a range of different instruments. We use a selection of modern and traditional songs, with words projected onto a large screen.
We also have several other opportunities for prayer during the week. You can find out about these on the calendar.
In particular, we gather for early morning prayer most Wednesday mornings (called 'Arise').

Facts about Heart Murmur and Filing for Disability1) A heart murmur happens when the heart produces extra audible sounds due to turbulent blood flowing through the heart valves. 2) Many heart murmurs are found in normal hearts without the presence of any disease or serious complications. These types of heart murmurs are called innocent murmurs, because they do not need to be treated and do not cause concern for the person experiencing it. 3) Murmurs can be caused by a variety of issues, such as narrowing valves, abnormal passages, leaky valves, and can sometimes point to heart disease. 4) As opposed to innocent heart murmurs, abnormal heart murmurs are usually caused by medical issues with the heart valves. These issues may be caused by aging, disease or infection. 5) Murmurs are usually categorized by their intensity, location, timing, pitch, radiation, shape, and quality. Heart murmurs are often put into two different categories: systolic heart murmurs (heard during contraction of the heart) and diastolic heart murmurs (heard after contraction, when the heart is filling with blood). Of course, if a murmur is continuous it cannot be put into either of these categories. 6) There are six grades of murmurs, grade one being barely audible and very soft, and grade six being very intense and loud � possibly being heard without a stethoscope. 7) Children may be born with congenital heart defects that cause abnormal heart murmurs. It is estimated that over 35,000 are born in the United States with congenital heart defects each year. 8) Innocent heart murmurs do not usually present any symptoms or sings, but abnormal heart murmurs may be accompanied by shortness of breath, poor appetite, dizziness, heavy sweating, fainting, enlarged liver, blue-ish lips and fingertips, weight gain, swelling and chest pain. 9) Treatment is not always needed. It depends upon the cause of the heart murmur. Abnormal heart murmurs may need to be treated with medications, such as diuretics, anticoagulants, beta blockers, medicine to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure. For severe cases that point to a heart problem, surgery or catheterization may be needed. Can you qualify for disability benefits with this condition? Whether or not you qualify for disability and, as a result, are approved for disability benefits will depend entirely on the information obtained from your medical records. This includes whatever statements may have been obtained from your treating physician (a doctor who has a history of treating your condition and is, therefore, qualified to comment as to your condition and prognosis). It will also depend on the information obtained from your vocational, or work, history if you are an adult, or academic records if you are a minor-age child. The important thing to keep in mind is that the social security administration does not award benefits based on simply having a condition, but, instead, will base an approval or denial on the extent to which a condition causes functional limitations. Functional limitations can be great enough to make work activity not possible (or, for a child, make it impossible to engage in age-appropriate activities). Why are so many disability cases lost at the disability application and reconsideration appeal levels? Speaking as a former Disability Claims Examiner, I can state that there are several reasons: 1) Social Security makes no attempt to obtain a statement from a claimant's treating physician. By contrast, at the hearing level, a claimant and his or her disability attorney will generally obtain and present this type of statement to a judge; 2) Prior to the hearing level, a claimant will not have the opportunity to explain how their condition limits them, nor will their attorney or representative have the opportunity to make a presentation based on the evidence of the case. At the hearing level, of course, this is exactly what happens. And a number of disability representatives will also take such steps even earlier, at the reconsideration appeal level; 3) Disability judges, unlike disability examiners who decides cases at the first two levels of the system, can make independent decisions without being overturned by immediate supervisors--which happens frequently.

- Is sustainable food elitist?
- Can sustainable food feed the world?
- What impact does sustainable farming have on carbon emission and climate change?
- What impact does sustainable farming have on rural communities?
- How can I start a sustainable farm in my community? Backyard? School?
- How can I locate a sustainable farm near me?
- What can I do to support sustainable agriculture?
1. What is sustainable agriculture?
Here at the Yale Sustainable Food Project, we use the word "sustainable" as a tool to aid in making practical decisions. We say that a practice can be called sustainable if and only if it can be continued indefinitely without degrading the systems and resources upon which it relies. It, in the words of the United Nations, meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Though it always keeps this principle firmly in mind, sustainable agriculture does not refer to a defined set of one-size-fits-all practices. Rather, it tasks farmers to be mindful of their local ecosystem, the ways their practices interact with it, and the other lives they share it with—present and future.
2. Does sustainable food taste better?
Almost always, and for a number of reasons. The best chefs around the world source their kitchens from sustainable sources because they know that sustainable agriculture turns an eye toward the long-term health of the soil, building the levels of organic matter, biodiversity, and insoluble nutrients. This soil produces healthier, better tasting plants. It also means farmers need to apply fewer pesticides, which means fewer petroleum-based off-flavors are being introduced to your food.
They also know that eating sustainably means eating in season, when local food is at its very best: aromatic melons, plump heirloom tomatoes, and intensely sweet corn in late summer; crisp, red apples and gallons of cider in autumn; buttery, high-roasted parsnips in winter; grilled shoots of asparagus in spring. Sustainable food, intended for local consumption, can be raised from heirloom varieties bred for taste and left to ripen on the vine; conventional produce must be bred to withstand the force of mechanized harvesters and artificially ripened by a hydrocarbon gas.
3. Is sustainable food more nutritious?
Organic produce is good for your health not only because of what it subtracts from your diet—organic farming practices do not use petrochemical pesticides—but also because of what it adds. Nutrition scientist Dr. Virginia Worthington reviewed 41 published studies comparing the nutritional value of organically and conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains, and concluded that organic crops contain significantly more nutrients: 27 percent more vitamin C, 21 percent more iron, 29 percent more magnesium, and 14 percent more phosphorus. For significant nutrients, "five servings of the organic vegetables met the recommended daily intake…whereas the same vegetables produced conventionally failed to do so."
Additional research at Truman State University in Missouri found that organically grown oranges contain up to 30 percent more vitamin C than those grown conventionally, even though conventional oranges are generally much larger than organic ones. Although these figures are hotly debated, there is increasing consensus that organic farming increases soil health, and with it, nutrients in food.
Here are some specifics:
- Plants grown in healthier soil have higher levels of minerals and nutrients. Recent studies have shown that organic peaches and pears have higher levels of vitamins C and E, and organic berries and corn have more of the antioxidants that promote cell health and reduce the risk of cancer.
- Beef and chicken raised on pasture have less total fat and more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than beef and chicken raised on feedlots. Grass-fed meat is also higher in vitamin E, an antioxidant linked with reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
- Eggs from free-range hens have more folic acid and vitamin B12—both of which promote healthy skin—than eggs from caged hens raised on factory farms.
- On average, organic milk has 50% more vitamin E, two to three times more of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the body against harmful effects of ultraviolet light, and higher levels of omega-3s than conventional milk.
4. Is sustainable food elitist?
No. Sustainable food often costs more than its conventional counterpart, but that does not make it elitist. Its expense is more often the result of high demand than high production costs, as many crops can be grown organically for less than under input-intensive conventional methods.
Elitism is advocacy of or reliance on the leadership and dominance of an elite—the high-ranking members of a society. Sustainable food advocates for, relies on, and supports working farmers and ranchers. It promotes the health both of the people who consume it, and of the natural resources upon which all rely. The conventional, industrial food system does not promote human or environmental health and, more often than not, it relies on and supports a relatively small number of people and organizations who profit from it.
What we, as a society, deem necessary, vital, and worth paying for, is surprisingly fluid and dynamic. In the last ten years we have collectively added cell phone bills and cable bills into our monthly balance. Fifteen years ago, the price of socially acceptable sneakers jumped from twenty to 120 dollars. These changes have been quickly normalized and imbedded—across class lines—in our society. We would never think to claim that cell-phones or cable are elitist.
North Americans spend less of their per capita income on food than the people of any other developed nation. Low food prices appear, at first glance, to be a positive thing. However, when one takes into account the costs linked to low food prices—environmental degradation and clean-up, public health, and farm subsidies—it is clear that we cannot afford to continue eating so cheaply.
5. Can sustainable food feed the world?
Yes. Long-term trials at six Midwestern universities found that organic farms produce yields equal to or higher than those of conventional farms. Organic farming practices also build soil organic matter and drought resistance. Other studies show that small, diversified farms, managed to fit local conditions, are up to ten times more productive per acre than large farms.
Research by the UN Development Programme has also demonstrated the productivity of organic farming. In Brazil, farmers using manure as fertilizer increased soil fertility
and doubled their yields of corn. In Ethiopia, sweet potato production increased from 6 to 30 tons per acre. Cultivating diverse crops for local consumption makes farmers more nutritionally self-sufficient and economically independent.
In 2000, the United Nations set Millennium Development Goals. The first is to reduce by half the number of people suffering from hunger and extreme poverty; the seventh requires environmental sustainability for future generations. Sustainable agriculture is a good way to help achieve both.
6. What impact does sustainable farming have on carbon emission and climate change?
The shift to more sustainable methods of growing and preparing food is centered around practices that reduce the use of fossil fuels and increase the nutrient and mineral levels of soil. An emphasis on buying local, fresh food decreases the use of fossil energy in both
transportation and processing. Supporting organic farming methods decreases the use of petrochemicals, not only further reducing the release of greenhouse gases, but also making food farming healthier for farmers, consumers, and the environment.
These changes can make a substantial impact on world emissions and world climate. America's food system accounts for nearly 17% of the nation's energy use, requiring 400 gallons of oil per person each year. Of the 10,250 trillion Btus dedicated to food production,
- 21% are spent in agricultural production (6.1% on fertilizer alone)
- 14% in transport
- 16% in processing
- 7% in packaging
- 11% in restaurants or retail
- 31% in home refrigeration and preparation
Individual choices add up. A steer raised on pasture consumes one-fourth the oil of a steer raised in confinement; each time you enjoy a grass-fed rather than conventional burger, nearly a pound of carbon is prevented from entering the atmosphere, decreasing the energy used in production, transportation, and processing, and by increasing soil organic matter, the shift to sustainable food is reducing the world's carbon footprint.
7. What impact does sustainable farming have on rural communities?
Sustainable food vitalizes the rural communities that grow it, improving the local economy and safeguarding the environment's fertility for future generations.
By growing diverse crops to feed local mouths rather than commodities for a world market, farmers protect themselves from global price swings and save money otherwise lost to processing, transportation, and marketing companies. Every dollar spent at a farmers' market or farm stand goes directly to the farmer, compared to only 19 cents of every dollar spent at conventional supermarkets. What's more, dollars spent within the local economy have a multiplying effect that generates positive returns for the community. CitySeed, the non-profit organization that oversees New Haven's farmers' markets, estimated that the purchases made at their markets kept $1.3 million in the local economy in 2006.
By serving as responsible stewards of the environment, sustainable farmers ensure that following generations will have fertile acres to plant and bountiful food to eat. Conventional farmers in Iowa lose two bushels of top soil for every bushel of corn they bring to silo, and their frequent applications of pesticides and soluble petrochemical fertilizers devastate the levels of organic biomass in local soil and the potability of water for hundreds of miles downstream.
8. How can I start a sustainable farm in my community? Backyard? School?
According to George Purtill, who owns 80 acres of farmland in South Glastonbury, CT and is a regular supplier of the Yale College dining halls, "There is nothing magical about organic sustainable farming. Just reset your clocks to pre-World War II and watch what farmers did then. Compost, crop rotations, diversity of crops, and an absence of man-made chemicals were the norm then." He's right: organic farming need be neither mysterious nor difficult, and small gardens can easily be managed in accordance with sustainable principles.
Books by Eliot Coleman, an organic farmer in Harborside, Maine, are invaluable guides to sustainable farming. His writings have deeply informed the practices of the Yale Farm, a sustainable one-acre garden. Finally, schools are recommended to learn from the Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California.
9. How can I locate a sustainable farm near me?
There are several national databases for sustainable farms, farmers' markets, farm stands, and community-supported agriculture programs: the U.S. Department of Agriculture and LocalHarvest. Both can be searched by location and provide you with maps of nearby locations.
If you are in the New Haven area, stop by one of the four CitySeed markets.
10. What can I do to support sustainable agriculture?
Supporting sustainable agriculture can be as simple as enjoying the crops it produces. Patronize a nearby farmers' market or farm stand, buy locally-marked produce at grocery stores, dine at locally-sourced restaurants, or join a community-supported agriculture program. If there are none in your area, be vocal: ask your favorite restaurant or local grocery store why they don't provide local food.
To become more involved in support of sustainable agriculture, join your local chapter of Slow Food, an organization devoted to preserving traditional foodways and educating people about food as a center of community. Join, too, the national debate over food policy: nutrition guidelines, organic standards, and subsidy policy are but a few of the key issues determined by the quintennial Farm Bill and other federal or state policies.

Restaurant Revisited: Oleander Bar & Grill
by Maria Russo in Shows, October 17th, 2012
For Kelli Truman and Abby Grabow, owners of Oleander Bar & Grill in Olean, N.Y., Robert Irvine's visit to their restaurant was a much-needed effort to save the business they opened just six months earlier. This mother-daughter duo needed Robert's help to transform the dark dining room into a comfortable space, rethink their tired menu and improve their strained relationship if Oleander were to have any chance at lasting success. We checked in with Abby a few months after Oleander's Restaurant: Impossible overhaul to see how the business has been doing since Robert left.
In the first two weeks after the renovation, Oleander saw sales increase nearly 50 percent.
The restaurant's updated decor has been well received by diners who "love the fresh, clean, modern look of the design," Abby says. She also notes that "the serious burger, shrimp tempura and crab bisque are the best-selling items that Robert added" to Oleander's revamped menu.
Though Jaye no longer works at the restaurant, Abby says that "the staff that remains is very loyal and everyone has been working together to rebuild business."
Looking back on the transformation, Abby admits that "the food costing lesson was perhaps the most beneficial part of this entire experience." Since Robert left, she has been following "the new inventory system to sell off the majority of the excess bar inventory."
Abby believes that being on Restaurant: Impossible has helped improve her relationship with her mom, Kelli, who has accepted additional responsibilities at Oleander. "The show taught us that communication is everything," Abby says, "and that even if the restaurant closed, we are family forever." She tells us that they are now "are much more effective at compromising and finding a middle ground."

My visit there was much the same, slow service by a waitress that seemed like she had something better to do. Food was cold (both mine and my wifes). I had to ask for my check twice and then give my card to a different waiterss, all while like you said, the owner at the bar sucking on a beer. I will not go back nor will I recommend it to anyone.
That is really sad that there are two comments on here about the owner drinking in the bar while the staff was so slow. She needs to realize what a bad example she's setting with her staff.
She don't care,why else would the owner be getting rat faced at the bar.Look at the whiney assed slob she has for a daughter,and shes so far in debt.I'm surprised she has not told the daughter to shove the place up her jackson.
I'm glad Robert stepped in after 6 months. Most of the folks on this show wait way too long to ask for help.
I have to agree with Susu & tru: I used to like this show until Robert became this amateur psychologoist/family therapist. He may be qualified to redo menus and train cooks, perhaps even put his 2 cents worth in on the decor, but his insatiable need to 'fix' relationships has become boring and very stale. I think we'll stick to Hotel Hell, Kitchen Nightmare, and Restaurant Stakeout.
The problem is that most of the time the real problem with these restaurants is the management. Fixing the decor and the menu isn't going to help in the long run, if they people running the show don't work together effecttively.
I would like to see Robert revisit some of these places to see if they have made and kept changes he suggested.
me too.Just to see if they are the loser crybabies they are on the tellie.
Not a "slam dunk success" at all. The place went back to its old unsuccessful ways…
elaborate on your statement.
John from the Manor is.or was it Jerry?
I have watched this tv show several times and as mentioned in a previous post, there is a pattern that is followed show by show. Also, reference was made to another well known chef and show, that allots MUCH MORE TIME to the overall operation of the restaurant. I think that it is great that this show and Robert go in and remodel a space and create a menu that is new and refreshed, but,,,, interaction must take place with the whole kitchen staff, the wait staff, the bar staff and host staff. The first impression of a restaurant is not just visual but verbal, i.e. interaction with the staff. Someone made reference to putting lipstick on a pig,,,, and sadly this is the norm more often then not for most reality makeover shows,,,, I never want to see a business fail, resulting in the lost of jobs and income for those who labored there, but unless lessons are learned from the reason for the failure of the business,,,, the reasons for failure will find their way back and ultimately, the best way to sum up this show and many others of its format are only a prolonging of the inevitable,,,,
i love this show and i like that Irvine and company address the underlying issue of interpersonal relationships. the key to any successful project is to have clarity in as many aspects of endeavor as possible and as early as possible. you have to identify the problems and nip it in the bud. smart managers can do this and being that the show is an outside party (consultants, really) their ability to identify these issues are much clearer than for the people who are actively engaged in it (they can't see the forest for the trees). keep up the good work, RI. i look forward to future episodes.
So how would you feel visiting the 'Oleander Garden Salad Bar', just curius?
I would not.Just me I guess,I'm not above having a few lagers at the bar.

(KMOV) – Deputies in Jefferson County are seeking help from the public in locating a brazen burglar.
Authorities say a woman was home alone hiding in a bedroom, armed with a gun, as the suspect ransacked her home.
"Its fear its anger you second guess yourself you wonder could I have done something different," the woman said, not wanting to reveal her identity. "I kept hearing some noises they sound like they're in the basement I started to become nervous."
She ran upstairs and called her husband but grabbed a weapon first.
"I had my gun at least for protection and gave him that warning to just leave."
The suspect heeded her warning and ran when she yelled that the police were on their way.
"He didn't want me home I didn't want him in my house so I think he just wanted to get away from me," she said.
The suspect escaped through the back door, making off with over $2,000 in stolen electronics.
Jefferson County Sheriff's officials have a photo taken by a neighbor's surveillance video they hope will help caught the suspect.
It is a blue Ford Ranger with damage to the front driver side. Investigators say this is the truck the suspect fled the scene in.
"The home that is supposed to be your safe haven, you're left feeling different," she said.
Investigators say anyone with information on this incident or the vehicle described is asked to call Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.

The Aptana IDE for Ajax Development
Aptana is an IDE for HTML, CSS and JavaScript coding based on Eclipse. I reviewed Aptana using Fedora Core 6 on a modern dual-core machine with 2GB of RAM. Installing Aptana can be a little difficult with Fedora Core 6 and may be so for other modern Linux distributions as well.
Initially, I attempted the install with the "zip (no installer)" download, which is about 43MB without the Java runtime. I extracted the zip file and ran the Aptana script with the Sun JDK 1.5.0 and 1.6.0, but in both cases, the IDE refused to start.
So, I changed to the "BIN Plus Java Runtime 1.4.2" download, which is 74MB, and the Aptana_IDE_Setup.bin file refused to execute with a libc.so.6 error. After searching the forums, I found that you can resolve this issue with a little use of sed (see Resources). Once the graphical installer was complete, Aptana still refused to start with an "XPCOM error -2147467262".
The fix for the XPCOM issue is to install Mozilla and export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to Mozilla's base path. Unfortunately, Mozilla is no longer in Fedora Linux. I found that with the BIN plus runtime installation, after a short period of time, the JVM would SEGV with "Too many open files".
A much better method is to install Eclipse from your distribution's repository and then install the Aptana plugin.
The IDE offers syntax highlighting, code completion, file navigation through document structure (going to parts of the DOM or JavaScript functions by name), breakpoint debugging of code running in Firefox and some synchronization options.
Aptana allows you to create a new JavaScript project and select from a bunch of third-party libraries, including Aflax, Dojo, MochiKit, Mootools, Prototype, Rico, Scriptaculous, Yahoo UI, jQuery and yui-ext.
Selecting debug from the IDE caused Firefox to run and installed the extension so that Aptana could talk to Firefox. With this combination, you can set breakpoints in Aptana, run debug from the IDE (which loads the page into Firefox), and when a breakpoint is hit in Firefox, Aptana springs to the front at that breakpoint. The integration of the IDE with Firefox works well; however, a few times when Aptana became slow, I had to restart Eclipse to recover. This may be a result of my configuration and not Aptana, although I was running Fedora Eclipse with only the Aptana plugin and a bare-bones Firefox setup.
As far as Ajax support, an Ajax Monitor is available that shows the requests and responses issued. Unfortunately, the preview for an HTML file you are editing most surely will bomb out with a permission-denied error if you attempt Ajax with XMLHttpRequest from it. If you use the debug mode in Aptana to start an external instance of Firefox, XMLHttpRequest likely will not work as well. The Firefox instance that Aptana starts will load a URL, such as http://127.0.0.1:8001/foo.htm, which is served by a Web server that Aptana includes. Assume there is an XMLHttpRequest for a simple path, such as /cgi-bin/foo.pl, to make sure you request from the originating server and avoid the permission-denied error from the browser. Then, the browser will ask the Web server running in Aptana on port 8001 for this resource and fail. It would be nice if you could configure the Aptana Web server to proxy some requests to a server and return the result back to the Firefox instance you are using for debugging. If, for example, you change the URL in the Firefox instance that Aptana started for debugging to a version of the site served by Apache, such as http://localhost/foo/myapp.html, your Ajax requests might function properly, but Aptana breakpoints no longer will work.
It would be nice to be able to set up breakpoints in the Ajax Monitor, so the JavaScript onreadystatechange callback would be halted—for example, if an XPath2 matched against the response of a request. You can work around this by setting a suitably verbose expression breakpoint in the JavaScript function, but it would be better if it were integrated more directly into the Ajax Monitor itself.
The IDE includes support for synchronizing files with FTP or SFTP servers, but rsync support is currently missing.
The Aptana screen casts page is a good resource for quickly seeing Aptana's features and how to use them; however, some of the presentations may be less useful for people who are familiar with IDEs in general.
This review has highlighted some short-comings (particularly to do with XMLHttpRequest and debugging stability) and a few bugs here and there. But, overall, Aptana is a very nice IDE for hacking some HTML, CSS, JavaScript and possibly PHP code.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

USDA to Allow Processing of American Chickens in China
The USDA has given the green-light to four companies in China that will begin processing chickens slaughtered in the U.S. According to the New York Times, the chickens in question will be raised and slaughtered in the U.S. and then sent to China for processing. They will then be cooked in some capacity and sent back to America for consumption. Aside from the completely astonishing carbon footprint created by this "chicken dance," many are taking issue with the fact that the USDA will not have any control over or attempt to monitor the process that will take place in China. Instead the chickens will simply have to pass USDA regulations once back in U.S. While some fear that the lack of oversight will lead to food safety issues or potential for "fowl" play, others are concerned that this new approval is a step towards the U.S. simply allowing Chinese-raised chickens to be sold and consumed in America.

We made a deal, you and I.
That I would remain, and you would love me.
It was a compromise
that spoke of sunless days that were still warm.
Of days that would shine
and that would swell with your companionship.
You made a promise, dear,
and I, I was fool enough to keep it for you.
I tucked it tight
beneath the heart that ached for release
from our promises, from life.
I kept our bargain hidden, I kept it kept, for you.
I made a mistake, didn't I?
Forgetting nothing lasts forever, nor no one.
I forgot myself
in my own desire to die, that others do without want.
We made a deal, you and I.
that I would remain, and you would love me.
You broke your promise.
You broke the space under my jailbird heart.
The deal is done
and with no terms to endure, I've rewritten
the history of us.
For if you do not have to keep it, why would I?

Marinated Cucumbers Recipe
If you are wondering why my posting schedule has been all over the place recently…I'll explain…
Yup, it's really happening. I'm officially 12 weeks today!
Believe it or not, my first trimester has turned my appetite so much that I couldn't even bare to look at or think about baked sweets or chocolate…that is a bigggg problem for the blog, and for my general well-being…
For the past month and a half, I have been surviving on drafts I've done ahead of time because I simply haven't had the energy or appetite to play in the kitchen…but this should all be easing up in the next two weeks…so I'm told.
So for today, I've chosen to share a very refreshing recipe that's perfect to soothe pregnancy queasiness. It's sweet and sour, light, crunchy and simply delightful in the warmer months of the year.
The word marinate might make you think it needs to be prepped far in advance but it actually only needs to sit in the fridge for 15 minutes, and the actual making of it? No more than 5 minutes!
Adapted from Jane's Blog
A sweet and sour cucumber salad that's crunchy, light and refreshing!
- 4 Mini Seedless Cucumbers, front and end sliced off
- 50g Sugar
- 50g White Vinegar
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- Cut each cucumber into 3 pieces and smash each with the blade of the knife. The cucumbers should break apart easily. Place into a bowl.
- Add sugar and massage it into the cucumbers with clean hands for 1 minute. Add vinegar, salt, garlic and stir until well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve, at least 15 minutes to several hours.
- Drain excess marinade as desired and add drizzle sesame oil to serve.

text: These are the most ridiculous comments posted. I am interested in this field because I always had a fascination with eyes and wanted to become an eye doctor. I don't like any job I have done so far, even though I make good money and have reasonable hours. I want to have kids soon, and I want to be able to enjoy going to work and getting paid a decent amount. Otherwise I will hate leaving and my kids will resent me for not being happy.

Concierge.com's insider take:
In the area around Huaihai Lu, a street known for its department stores, boutiques, antique shops, and cafés, lies the marvelous old French Concession. In 1854, this area was designated to the French, who opted out of a move to combine all the foreign settlements in the city. Many of the French Concession's Tudor-style mansions—complete with colorful flower boxes—still stand on the tree-lined streets off Yan'an Lu. Vestiges of the Japanese occupation (1937–1945) also remain, alongside the buildings of what used to be the Jewish and Russian quarters. Fuxing Park is a tree-lined green oasis in the French Concession that dates back to the early 1900s. Early in the morning, people stroke the air in the smooth patterns of tai chi. Later, women sing Chinese opera, old men gamble at tables beside the main pavilion, and couples waltz to piped dance music. Go here for a typical—and marvelous—slice of Chinese life.

CAMERON COUNTY, TX (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — Cameron County officials say radio upgrades will help their communication, Na'Tassia Finley has more on their transition from analog to digital radios.
Cameron County is going from analog to digital, Humberto Barrera Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator, "It was the best thing 10 to 15 years ago, now it's an outdated piece of equipment."
The new technology is expected to greatly improve communications between emergency personnel, which will in turn provide better service to the community when it comes to response times among other things.
It's also expected to just about eliminate one of the big issues that had affected deputies in route, Humberto Barrera, "Throughout the county, sometimes we have these dead spots, these dead zones, like cellular phones, where you can't talk, where you lose contact, where you may not be able to call for backup."
The $3.3 million dollar system will also allow Cameron County to communicate with Hidalgo and Willacy counties and other cities throughout the Valley who have already transitioned to digital.
Barrera says the multi-agency communications is a plus, "If one of our officers gets into a, God forbid, high speed pursuit here in Brownsville, he can monitor it through dispatch through Mission or anywhere else."
As of now, not every city in the Valley is operating digitally, but they'll still be able to communicate with those operating via analog if need be, Humberto Barrera, "The system will still hold the old way of doing things, the analog, and the new, which is the digital, it handles both."
The FCC requires that all agencies make the transition to digital frequency by 2015, Cameron County is ahead of the game.
