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.

Usha Krira Chakra posted a hard-fought 3-2 win over Ajax SC in the Green Delta Insurance Premier Division Hockey League at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium yesterday.
With three successive wins under their belt, the Club Cup champions are top of the seven-team league with six points, three ahead of Abahani, who however played a match less than Usha. Ajax SC, on the other hand, remain at fifth position with a draw and a defeat.
National striker Krishna Kumar put Usha ahead in the second minute of the match but the lead lasted only eight minutes as Rahat Sarwar converted a penalty stroke to level the margin in the tenth minute.
Ajax then stunned their mighty opponents by taking the lead in the 23rd minute through a field goal by Ibrar Ahmed and went for the breather with a 2-1 lead.
After resumption, Usha kept on pressing for the equaliser and young striker Moinul Islam Koushik levelled the margin two minutes into the second half while Rimon Kumar sealed the victory in the 39th minute with a field goal.

About Lolita Lempicka
History and background of Lolita Lempicka. Fashion houses are often named after their founding designer, but Josiane Pividal went about it differently. In 1983 Josiane and her husband Joseph, an interior designer, created their label, "Lolita Lempicka", in homage to Nabokov's novel and to the painter Tamara de Lempicka. As the fashion house took off, the couple found it simpler to change their names to Lolita and Joseph-Marie Lempicka. Read more about Lolita Lempicka

Only 46% of American Christians belive that Jesus didn't sin
April 16, 2009 by Taylor Marshall
Filed under Faith, Headlines
A new Barna study reveals that most American Christians don't hold to some of the basic tenets of historic Christianity.
Only 35% believed that Satan is a living being rather than a mere symbol of evil. 8% were unsure.
Fifty-eight percent agreed with the statement that the Holy Spirit is "a symbol of God's power or presence but is not a living entity."
This question is not a good one because traditional orthodox speaks of the Holy Spirit as a "Person" and not as an "entity". I imagine that many were confused.
The real zinger is that 22% believed that Christ sinned while one earth! 17% agreed somewhat. This demonstrates a true failure in American congregations to communicate the biblical faith.
Connecticut's Homosexuals take aim at the Catholic Church
March 9, 2009 by Taylor Marshall
Filed under Faith, Headlines
On March 5 the Connecticut State Legislature Judiciary Committee which is jointly chaired by Senator Andrew McDonald and Representative Michael Lawlor launched a direct attack on the Roman Catholic Churches in their state. The assault came in the form of a bill that would force Connecticut Catholic Bishops to relinquish control of their parishes and turn them over to a committee of lay parishioners. The view of the Diocese of Bridgeport is that this move "directly attacks the Roman Catholic Church and our Faith."

Please let Christian and American know what you thought about Pastor Warren's inaugural prayer by either leaving a comment below or by participating in our poll. If you didn't hear the prayer, you can read the officially transcribed text of the prayer at the bottom of this post.
After you make your selection, PLEASE CLICK THE "Confirmation" BUTTON THE OPTIONS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR VOTE HAS BEEN COUNTED AND TALLIED.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, our father, everything we see and everything we can't see exists because of you alone. It all comes from you, it all belongs to you. It all exists for your glory. History is your story.
The Scripture tells us Hear, oh Israel, the Lord is our God; the Lord is one. And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made.
Now today we rejoice not only in America's peaceful transfer of power for the 44th time. We celebrate a hinge-point of history with the inauguration of our first African-American president of the United States.
We are so grateful to live in this land, a land of unequaled possibility, where the son of an African immigrant can rise to the highest level of our leadership.
And we know today that Dr. King and a great cloud of witnesses are shouting in Heaven.
Give to our new president, Barack Obama, the wisdom to lead us with humility, the courage to lead us with integrity, the compassion to lead us with generosity. Bless and protect him, his family, Vice President Biden, the Cabinet, and every one of our freely elected leaders.
Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans, united not by race or religion or blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all.
When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us. When we presume that our greatness and our prosperity is ours alone, forgive us. When we fail to treat our fellow human beings and all the Earth with the respect that they deserve, forgive us.
And as we face these difficult days ahead, may we have a new birth of clarity in our aims, responsibility in our actions, humility in our approaches, and civility in our attitudes, even when we differ.
Help us to share, to serve and to seek the common good of all.
May all people of good will today join together to work for a more just, a more healthy and a more prosperous nation and a peaceful planet. And may we never forget that one day all nations and all people will stand accountable before you.
We now commit our new president and his wife, Michelle, and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, into your loving care.
I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus, Jesus (hay-SOOS), who taught us to pray, Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Carl Djerassi, inventor of birth controll, pill condemns it
January 9, 2009 by Taylor Marshall
Filed under Culture, Faith, Headlines
Eighty five year old Carl Djerassi the Austrian chemist who helped invent the contraceptive pill now says that his co-creation has led to a "demographic catastrophe."
In an article published by the Vatican this week, the head of the world's Catholic doctors broadened the attack on the pill, claiming it had also brought "devastating ecological effects" by releasing into the environment "tonnes of hormones" that had impaired male fertility, The Taiwan Times says.
The assault began with a personal commentary in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard by Carl Djerassi. The Austrian chemist was one of three whose formulation of the synthetic progestogen Norethisterone marked a key step toward the earliest oral contraceptive pill.
Djerassi outlined the "horror scenario" that occurred because of the population imbalance, for which his invention was partly to blame. He said that in most of Europe there was now "no connection at all between sexuality and reproduction." He said: "This divide in Catholic Austria, a country which has on average 1.4 children per family, is now complete."
He described families who had decided against reproduction as "wanting to enjoy their schnitzels while leaving the rest of the world to get on with it."
The fall in the birth rate, he said, was an "epidemic" far worse, but given less attention, than obesity. Young Austrians, he said, were committing national suicide if they failed to procreate. And if it were not possible to reverse the population decline they would have to understand the necessity of an "intelligent immigration policy."
The head of Austria's Catholics, Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, told an interviewer that the Vatican had forecast 40 years ago that the pill would lead to a dramatic fall in the birth rate in the west.
"Somebody above suspicion like Carl Djerassi … is saying that each family has to produce three children to maintain population levels, but we're far away from that," he said.
Schonborn told Austrian TV that when he first read Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical condemning artificial contraception he viewed it negatively as a "cold shower." But he said he had altered his views as, over time, it had proved "prophetic."

Charting a New Course in the New Year
"Out with the old, in with the new!"
Rarely have those words been uttered with more enthusiasm than at the beginning of 2009.
2008 was an historic and unsettling year. Our economy imploded, the President abandoned free market principles "in order to save the free market system," and government assumed an unprecedented role in financing our economy. Business magnates, from bankers to automakers, pleaded for a bailout—and got one from Uncle Sugar. Gas prices took a roller coaster ride, soaring, then plunging in the second half of the year. Political and celebrity scandals abounded, from John Edwards' and Eliot Spitzer's infidelities to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's pay to play scandal to Britney Spear's meltdown and resurgence. Things were so chaotic on the domestic front that some almost forgot that there was a war going on. Not surprisingly, Americans voted for "change" and elected their first African-American as President. The Democrats took control of both houses of Congress and Republicans were kicked to the curb.
But rather than dwell on the best and worst of 2008, it may be a better use of our time to look ahead to what's in store for our country in the new year.
The dawning of a new year is always an exciting time. We celebrate it by popping corks on champagne bottles, lighting sparklers, and watching the big ball drop in Times Square. We get together with friends and loved ones and count down the hours, minutes, and seconds until the new year. The celebration is important, for the advent of a new year is a symbol of what is to come, of new beginnings, resolutions, renewal, and the hopes of all to be better and to live better in the year to come.
This new year provides us with a new opportunity to improve on the sorry state of politics and the economy in our country. Our culture's character was on display during 2008. We paid a high price for the lack of it and we have a chance for reform in 2009.
The new year provides us with the opportunity to reinstitute the notions of virtue and moderation as important guideposts in the conduct of our business and financial affairs. For far too long, the marketplace has been viewed as a virtue-free zone—a place were "self-interest" operated free of moral restraints. This attitude has turned something good (a free market economy) into a system where the interests of others were irrelevant to our economic decision making. As a result, radical self interest and unrestrained greed characterized many of our transactions. The housing debacle provides a good example. Home buyers bought more house than they could afford, unhesitatingly misrepresenting their financial capacity to repay their loans. Lenders encouraged irresponsible loans in exchange for handsome up front fees because they expected to pass the risk to downstream institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who, in turn, packaged the bad loans as securities and sold them to investors who were looking for unprecedented returns. All the way along the line, the participants were looking out only for themselves. They were unconcerned for the welfare of any other party to the transaction. This lack of virtue and restraint was commonplace in the broader markets and resulted in a financial meltdown, the likes of which haven't been seen since The Great Depression.
Aristotle showed great insight into the nature of man when he said, "The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom." This moderation (or restraint) which is necessary for a flourishing free market economy has been virtually absent in the business practices which led to our current economic calamity. All of us would do well to adopt it in the new year.
How often have we been tempted to buy something we couldn't afford? To keep up with the Joneses? To regard entertainment as more important than responsible behavior? The new year provides us with an opportunity to reclaim financial responsibility not only for our own interests, but also for the interests of others. Perhaps we will once again realize that our financial decisions impact others, that personal responsibility is good for all people, ourselves included, and that thrift and savings do not merit scorn and derision.
What has been true in the economic arena has been no less true in the political arena. Virtue and moderation have been anything but the hallmarks of American political behavior in the last year. A spirit of hyper partisanship has fostered a continuation of the politics of personal destruction. The smallest amount of blood in the water resulted in a veritable feeding frenzy as each party sought to capitalize on the political peccadilloes of their opponents. The conduct of Ted Stevens, William Jefferson, and Rod Blagojevich were emblematic of public servants who had lost their way and put their own interests ahead of the interests of their constituents. Hopefully, the excesses of the last year will point out the need for a recovery of virtue and moderation in the political arena in the coming new year.
Indeed, this new year presents all of us with the opportunity for the renewal of virtue and restraint in our political and economic affairs. Two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul exhorted his co-worker Titus: "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men." (Titus 3:1-2 NIV) Paul's advice is as good now as it was then. We will all do well to take his instruction to heart and to pursue these virtues in every dimension of our lives in this coming new year.

"Allowed to much malware onto PC"
Free is all I can think of
Allows too much malware onto PC
Slow scanSummary
Don't count on this to catch much. My wife who is very much a safe web surfer got 10 pieces of malware on her Windows 7 PC and MSE caught none of it. Not even with a scan. 9 of the malware were Trojans that were not recent creations so MSE should have had definitions to catch them. I finally used Malwarebytes which detected them and deleted them. Very disappointed in Microsoft created such a lousy product. I'll bet plenty of people have malware and rootkits on their PC and don't even know it. Don't trust MSE, scan with another AV product. If Microsoft cannot do any better then this they need to stop giving users a false sense of security with MSE.

Financial institution that gathers savings and pays interest or dividends to savers. It channels the savings of individuals who wish to consume less than their incomes to borrowers who wish to spend more. This function is performed by mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, postal savings systems, and municipal savings banks. Unlike a commercial bank, a savings bank does not accept demand deposits. Many savings banks originated as part of a philanthropic effort to encourage saving among people of modest means. The earliest municipal savings banks developed from the municipal pawnshops of Italy (see pawnbroking). Other early savings banks were founded in Germany in 1778 and The Netherlands in 1817. The first U.S. savings banks were nonprofit institutions established in the early 1800s for charitable purposes.

Financial institution that accepts savings from depositors and uses those funds primarily to make loans to home buyers. Savings and loan associations (S&Ls) originated with 18th-century British building societies, in which workmen banded together to finance the building of their homes. The first U.S. savings and loan was established in Philadelphia in 1831. S&Ls were initially cooperative institutions in which savers were shareholders in the association and received dividends in proportion to profits, but today are mutual organizations that offer a variety of savings plans. They are not obliged to rely on individual deposits for funds but are permitted to borrow from other financial institutions and to market mortgage-backed securities, money-market certificates, and stock. Because high inflation and rising interest rates in the 1970s made fixed-rate mortgages unprofitable, regulations were altered to permit S&Ls to renegotiate mortgages. In the late 1980s, a growing number of S&Ls failed because inadequate regulation had allowed risky investments and fraud to flourish. The government was obliged to cover vast losses in excess of $200 billion, and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC) became insolvent in 1989. Its insurance functions were taken over by a new organization supervised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., and the Resolution Trust Corp. was established to handle the bailout of the failed S&Ls.

This is the lower section of the former 'Five Mile Track', notorious as the 'canal of mud' that, from 1914 until 1981, formed the main track between the Wainuiomata and Orongorongo valleys. Today, it is an easy dry track, passing through superb groves of mature hard beech in the lower reaches of Graces Stream.
The track climbs through an old burn (now covered in second growth forest with profuse rimu regeneration) to Clay Forks at the junction with Clay Ridge Track. As the track descends into the Catchpool Valley, there are good views of the distant Rimutaka Range and the forest canopy of the valley.
View of Grace's Stream from the Five Mile Track
Take the Coast Road to Catchpool Valley, 12 km south of Wainuiomata in the Hutt Valley.The track starts from the car park at the top of the Catchpool Valley. Cross the footbridge to the left of the car park. The track is well signposted.
The Catchpool Valley park gates close at 6pm (8pm during daylight saving) and reopen at 8.00 am.

Marc Mariani breaks leg on return
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee returner Marc Mariani had surgery Thursday night after breaking his left leg at the end of a punt return in the first quarter against the Arizona Cardinals.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
Titans coach Mike Munchak said Mariani broke both the tibia and fibula in his lower left leg in an gruesome injury that trainers had covered with a pressure wrapping by the time Munchak got out to check on the returner.
"That's something in football you don't want to see, and it's hard to see that and continue on with the game," Munchak said.
Replays showed Mariani's leg snapping near the calf as he went to the ground at the end of 14-yard return with 9:40 left in the first quarter. He remained on the ground for several minutes as a team doctor put an air cast around his lower leg. A few teammates came by to talk with him, and Mariani waved at fans as the cart left the field.
Mariani, a seventh-round draft pick out of Montana, was a Pro Bowl returner in 2010. Munchak called the injury very disappointing after how hard Mariani worked this offseason, turning himself into a receiver Tennessee quarterbacks trusted.
"We saw him being in a great role for that along with the return game," Munchak said. "That's a big loss for us."

Original Price: $129.99 pair Shop all 5"x7"/6"x8" Speakers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Jo Greene You hit the highway and crank the stereo, but your factory speakers just can't keep up. Diamond Audio designed D3 speakers to deliver strong performance in your car — you'll hear power and impact in your music that makes for a very entertaining ride, even if it's just across town. Removable 1" aluminum tweeters These D374 6"x8" convertible speaker system features sizeable 1" aluminum dome tweeters that give you exceptional clarity — you'll be able to hear sparkling detail in your music, even when the bass gets heavy. You can mount these speakers as 2-ways in your factory openings, or you can remove the tweeters from the woofers and mount them in a spot that'll create the best soundstage in your ride. Mineral fortified cone Diamond Audio uses injection-molding to create a light, stiff graphite copolymer cone that offers consistent strength. A butyl rubber surround secures the woofer for linear cone movement, so you can count on strong, accurate performance. External crossovers send the right frequencies to the woofer and tweeter, so vocals and instruments sound well-defined and natural. The Rear Fill outputs on the crossover networks allow you to tie in a pair of rear speakers without affecting impedance. Non-resonant frame resists distortion Diamond uses a unique energy-absorbent ABS composite frame that resists unwanted resonance better than steel or aluminum, so your favorite music sounds just as the artist intended. Product Highlights:6"x8" 2-way convertible speaker system — includes two woofers, two tweeters, and two crossover networksgraphite-fortified copolymer woofer cone with rubber surroundnon-resonant ABS composite frame1" aluminum dome tweeter (can be mounted in woofer or separately)outboard crossover network with Rear Fill outputspower range: 6-60 watts RMS (120 watts peak power)frequency response: 52-20,000 Hzsensitivity: 90 dBtop-mount depth: 2-5/16"warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.
Fantastic but... Written By mark, Montreal, Qc on Sunday, September 02, 2012 The sound was fantastic at first but after they break-in the sound became epic! I use two sets and I don't think there is a better sounding Mustang for less $. The thing with Diamond is that they make power hungry speakers, they say 60w rms but I say at least 100w rms but they must be gently broke-in . Don't think about powering these with your head unit. If you don't use amps; I recommend you stay away. Pros: Unbeatable for the price. Cons: Not for everyone.
Diamond Audio D374 Written By Ipso Facto, FL on Sunday, January 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to try in the doors of my 2008 Mustang GT. The Crutchfield website says these don't fit, but they fit just fine. I tried them first as a coaxial--there were barely any highs noticeable. After I installed the external crossover and mounted them as separates, they sounded a lot better--but still no better than my factory speakers. I had high hopes for these, but I didn't see the point in spending this much for speakers that didn't sound any better than my factory coaxials (Shaker 500 system). YMMV... Pros: The price was good. Cons: Sound quality. The build quality was OK, but not stellar.

You'll need speaker wire to connect your speakers to your amp. Keep your speakers clean and dry. They compress to fit behind your speakers. These speaker connectors are handy if you're running new speaker wire or if your speakers have oversized terminals. The right tools will help keep your installation simple and clean. If your stereo doesn't cut the deep bass from your full-range speakers, a set of bass blockers can help prevent distortion and give you cleaner bass too.

Recipe Generated with http://www.brewmate.net Will I need to add any additional yeast at bottle time? Thanks for the comments. Dan
i just made my first braggot. that looks pretty good, but from what i understand, at least 51% of your fermentables need to be honey.
Status update on my Raspberry Braggot. I upped the honey to 9lbs and added and additional .5oz of Cascade at 60 min. This turned out fantastic. There was good honey flavor and aroma and the raspberries were noticable and gave it the color. It was a hit with all who tried it. The raspberries all floated during secondary which turned out to be in there for 9 weeks.
Holy **** that looks good. I'm thirsty.
Wow. Okay, my goal is to do this sometime this summer. Sounds and looks amazing!
Primary:Concord Pyment, Cyser, cider, White Grape Peach wine, Raspberry Concord Wine, Czech Pilsner Secondary:JAOM Bottled: White Grape Peach wine (sparkling and still), Light American Ale, Cranberry wine, JAOM, Apfelwein (sparkling and still), Grape Cranberry Raspberry wine, Northwest Pale Ale, Chocolate Cherry Ale
Yea... That looks freaking delicious!

Does France really have to travel all the way to Argentina??? :fiery:

yes France will play in Argentina,in april.
Jan 28th, 2002, 12:13 AM
Thanks, Lindsayfan...
How incredibly unfair! They're the seeded team and they don't even get to pick the surface. That travel schedule will be brutal for the Frenchie girls. :fiery:
Jan 28th, 2002, 01:00 AM
yes u r right,but french girls are stronger than argentians so i'm sure they will win ;)
Jan 28th, 2002, 10:12 AM
Dont be so sure on that Lindsayfan ;) :o
Hi Ed! :wavey:
At least France doesnt have to travel to Belgium to take on the defenfing champs :o
Jan 29th, 2002, 08:26 AM
So I should be grateful??? :mad: ;)
Jan 29th, 2002, 10:21 AM
Frankly...yes. :p
Jan 29th, 2002, 10:29 AM
Well kiss my.....love you too Sweetie! :kiss::p
Jan 30th, 2002, 10:55 AM
More then Grateful Ed, not only do we have to travel there, but they got choice of surface as well :(
Jan 30th, 2002, 07:33 PM
It's not fair....it's just not fair. :mad: ;)
Feb 1st, 2002, 04:08 AM
Ed: calm down ;) ;) ;)
Sandrine and Amelie will take care of everyone. :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:
I hope so anyway.
Feb 1st, 2002, 04:09 AM
she will probably be in the states in april as well ... so it won't be that bad
Feb 2nd, 2002, 11:02 PM
Jerome, maybe I am getting a bit ornery in my old age. :o ;)
Seriously, I don't think Sandrine had planned on being in the States in April...
She plays enough tournaments as it is and as much as I'd like to see her play the American clay court events I'd prefer that she rest. She rested during April last year and was fresh enough to perform well in the European clay events. The way it stands now she'll have to fly cross continent just to play Fed Cup then fly back for the Hamburg or Bol tourneys the following week, assuming she's commited to either one. :mad:
She may register for Hilton Head the week before and skip Bol/Hamburg but I doubt it. I just hope it doesn't twist her out of sorts.....our baby needs her rest! ;)
Feb 4th, 2002, 10:42 PM
very true ed ... i have never really liked fed cup in the first place ... and now it might ruin sandrine a bit :(
Feb 5th, 2002, 05:53 AM
croatia is at home!
Feb 5th, 2002, 12:07 PM
Hmmm....I wonder if Iva will play???
And for that matter who will make up the Italian and American teams? I'm hoping Silvia, Rita, and Francesca have mended their differences with the Italian Federation.
As for the U.S., it's anybody's guess. I'm thinking Jennifer and Monica are more likely to play than Serena and Venus. I'm guessing Lisa will probably be asked to play doubles. Meghann is also a possibility. Anybody seen Chanda??? :confused:
Feb 5th, 2002, 07:15 PM
news about italy:they will play in Milan-i think indoor cos in april there is very cold in Milan-and on clay.at this moment Silvia,Rita and Francesca dont want to play.i dunno if something will change,but i dont think so.
Feb 5th, 2002, 07:20 PM
Thanks, Lindsayfan....that's too bad about the Italian girls. The match would draw so much more interest if Silvia, Rita, and Francesca were playing. :(
Any idea when Lindsay is expected to return? I thought I read that she'll most likely target the grass season for her return but I'm really not sure. :confused:
Feb 5th, 2002, 09:39 PM
Lindsay is expected to return for grass season,but it's not sure.
Feb 12th, 2002, 10:38 AM
I am pleased to hear that Argentina recieves France on april. The girls will play in Cordoba, on clay surface and they feel very very confortable there.
So, let's see what the frenchies can do about it:rolleyes:
GO ARGENTINA:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Feb 12th, 2002, 09:48 PM
-LucasArg: Argentina-France will be played indoor or outdoor?
Feb 19th, 2002, 03:24 PM
people: Argentina is a great team, i´m sure what my girls will win, france have a great team...but i´m sure with my girls.
And argentina is a confortable place, with country problems or no, is very nice and the ´people is incredible....for something guga returned to play here been the number two :p :eek:
If france is a power must show this to all...Argentina ever had what play out, now it is a great posibility

Advances in the ways that cancer is diagnosed and treated have increased the number of people who live disease-free for long periods of time. This report looks at trends in 5-year survival rates for cancer, the time period traditionally associated with good prognosis. However, some people will experience a recurrence of their cancer after 5 years. In 2007, more than 11.7 million Americans were alive after having been diagnosed with invasive cancer. Among survivors, nearly 2.6 million were living with a previous diagnosis of female breast cancer, more than 2.2 million had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 1.1 million had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. More than 1.7 million of 11.7 million Americans diagnosed with invasive cancer were longer-term survivors (14.7 percent) diagnosed at least 20 years earlier. Read more in the Survival Estimation Methods appendix Five-year relative cancer survival rate: The proportion of patients surviving cancer 5 years after diagnosis calculated in the absence of other causes of death. This rate is a ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the proportion of observed survivors in a cohort of cancer patients to the proportion of expected survivors. This report shows survival rates for cancers of the prostate, female breast, colon/rectum, and lung. It also shows survival rates for all cancers combined. Period – 1975–2002 (year diagnosed) All cancer sites combined: Generally rising since 1975, except for a stable period during 1992–1995 Prostate: Generally rising since 1975, except for stable periods during 1992�1995 and 1999�2002 Female breast: Rising since 1983 Colorectal: Generally rising since 1975, except for non-significant change during 1990–1994 Lung and bronchus: Small but significant rise since 1988. Five-year survival remains less than 20 percent Among the four cancer sites listed above, 5-year survival rates are highest for prostate and female breast cancers, intermediate for colorectal cancer, and lowest for lung cancer. Download: data (Excel) | image (JPEG) Of the patients diagnosed with cancer (all sites) in 2002, 68.5 percent survived cancer for at least 5 years. Among those who were children (aged 19 years and younger) at the time of their diagnosis in 2002, 80.9 percent survived cancer for at least 5 years. Increase to 70 percent the proportion of cancer survivors who are living 5 years or longer after diagnosis. Groups at High Risk for Limited Survival Late stage at diagnosis is associated with limited survival. Causes of disparity in late stage cancer diagnosis vary by site, but may include factors related to low socio-economic status (e.g., health insurance, income, or education) or related demographic attributes (e.g., age, gender, or race and ethnicity minority). This association supports the need for continued development of early detection and stage-appropriate treatment strategies, as well as expanded efforts to ensure that all Americans have equal access to these life-saving interventions. Improved survival rates result from a combination of early detection, better treatments, and improved supportive care. It is difficult to separate out the contribution of each factor. Caution is also warranted against over-interpretation of improved survival as a result of early detection via screening (lead-time bias). Despite the positive trends in 5-year survival for three of the most common cancers, lung cancer survival rates remain low. Prevention efforts to reduce the incidence of lung cancer would therefore contribute to improvement in overall cancer survival rates for all cancers combined.

ive recently got a 2011 ford focus with a 1.6 petrol engine, the 1 before the new ecoboost. ive noticed that when i start it up i can hear a small click and after made a minute or so i hear another click and then my engine temp gauge shoots up from 0 to half way just like normal. does any1 know anything about this is it a problem or is it normal......
March 29, 2011, 8:38 pm
I dont normally hear a click unless the aircon is on. You do get a noise when you first set off and get up to 12mph when the ABS system kicks in.
The temp does shoot up to half way very quickly. I normally only get half a mile down the road from cold before it reaches temperature. Its meant to as it helps with the fuel economy.
With regards to the two clicks I doubt if there is anything wrong, its probably a relay or solenoid adjusting.

Active contrast medium extravasation is a recognized and important angiographic and computed tomographic (CT) sign of bleeding. It is an indicator of active, ongoing, and potentially life-threatening hemorrhage and, hence, of the need for an immediate surgical or interventional treatment. Sonography (US) is frequently used as the first imaging option for screening patients with traumatic and nontraumatic abdominal emergencies. Owing to the current possibilities of low-mechanical index, real-time, contrast-specific systems, it is now possible to detect a contrast leakage by using US. This finding opens new possibilities in the assessment and management of several abdominal emergencies, including trauma (initial workup and monitoring), spontaneous hematomas, and rupture of aneurysms or masses. This article describes the technique, findings, possibilities, and limitations of contrast-enhanced US in the evaluation of active abdominal bleeding.

A missing dog which ran four miles along railway tracks was captured on CCTV leaving behind a trail of blood on a train station platform.
Staff-cross greyhound Max bolted from Whitstable and headed along the live line towards Herne Bay after he was startled by a loud bang yesterday morning.
His devastated owner Mark Sewell, 49, of Love Lane, Faversham, says the eight-year-old rescue dog was seen on camera clambering onto the platform at Herne Bay station.
But he then climbed back down onto the tracks and headed towards Birchington, with no reported sightings of him since.
First aid trainer Mr Sewell has spent hours desperately searching for Max with his banking director wife Melanie - posting flyers in Whitstable, Herne Bay and Birchington - but the hunt has so far proved fruitless.
He said: "I can't even put into words how I feel right now. Max and I are inseparable. We go everywhere together.
"I'm just hoping the blood was from a small cut on his foot. Hopefully it will slow him down a bit."
Mr Sewell and Max had taken the train to Whitstable with the intention of walking back to Faversham.
"It sounds horrible, but even if we had a body we'd at least know where he was..." - Max's owner Mark Sewell
But Max was frightened by a loud bang as he was tied up outside Whitstable Harbour at 10.30am.
Mr Sewell said: "I went into the fish shop when I heard this bang – possibly a boat hitting the harbour wall.
"Max slipped his collar and ran off back to Whitstable train station."
The sprightly dog was seen on CCTV climbing onto the tracks at Whitstable station and heading towards Herne Bay.
He was then captured on camera again 30 minutes later at Herne Bay station, but Network Rail has had no reports of a dog being seen since.
Mr Sewell, whose daughters Abigail, 11, and Phoebe, nine, are distraught, said: "Network Rail said they haven't found a dog on the tracks or by the tracks.
"It sounds horrible, but even if we had a body we'd at least know where he was.
"The house is so empty at the minute. The whole family are devastated. We just want Max home."

The other day I operated the rear washer and noticed that water was dripping from the headlining near the N/S rear window. Im wondering if there is a join in the pipe up there that may have come apart, or is it likely to be a split in the pipe itself?
If I need to take the headlining down to fix the problem how big of an issue is this? Is it likely to be a simple enough job?

Stationery Cards
Set of folded stationery cards printed on bright white, smooth card stock to bring your personal artistic style to everyday correspondence. Each card is blank on the inside and includes a soft white, European fold envelope for mailing.
Watercolor and acrylics on paper, plus a little digital refinement.
Oh Efi, this is really a great piece! It is so different and the colors, shapes, everything, so wonderful! I will have to spend a little while gazing at it!
This image keeps haunting me - in a nice way! There are so many allusions, so many unanswered questions, and the colors and slightly antique feel are just wonderful.
This is stunning, Efi, it's so fantastic and surreal but the little shadow brings it all down to earth and gives it such weight and a feeling that it really exists.
Thank you! :O) That little red sphere... Actually, I don't know if this is where it all begins, or where it all ends up to...
Jaina, it's been very boring, since I last created a universe... I decided to have a little fun with it, lol!

Alpine School Focuses on Citizenship in January
Friday, January 10, 2014 • 10:48pm
SPARTA, NJ- Citizenship is the focus for January at Alpine Elementary School. On Monday, January 6th students and teachers from each grade level put on various skits for the school to show how to be a good citizen. Some skits focused on helping out in the community, being a good friend, and being respectful.
Each month the students and staff are immersed in a different character trait with activities that help to convey the meaning behind the ideals.
Throughout the month student will be recognized for showing good citizenship. Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Heather Yanoff, organized the assembly.

The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA), in partnership with the Australian Museum (AM), has developed an online Volunteer Portal for keen members of the community to help capture non-digital information (e.g. typed or handwritten) that describes collection material within Australian museums. The system moved from its trial phase into full production in July 2011.
The team of developers and systems architects from the ALA consisted of Nick dos Remedios, Dave Martin, and Mark Woolston, with project management from Paul Flemons of the Australian Museum.
See: http://volunteer.ala.org.au/
The aim of the project is to encourage volunteers to work on the monumental task of transcribing specimen labels, field notes, and expedition diaries from various Australian museums, into digitised records. So far several hundred volunteers have joined the program and around 7,000 individual tasks have been completed, but there is so much more to do! New volunteers are always very welcome, just sign up online.
The first two projects concern transcribing labels associated with images of physical specimens of Cicadas and Hawk Moths into digitised records. Data such as the Collector, Date, Location, and Identification is transcribed into their component fields. One of the team of Validators checks and possibly alters the submitted records. Validated records are then available to update digital specimen databases using standard Darwin Core metadata format.
The third fascinating project is to transcribe images of handwritten entomological field expedition diaries of the Scott sisters' who, during the 1930s, collected insects and painted beautiful illustrations of specimens.
Other projects soon to be released are label transcription of Leaf Hoppers for the Australian Museum, and a different collection of Cicadas, including some non-Australian, from CSIRO's Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC).
Each of these projects tries to liken the experience to being out in the field with the specimen collectors of over a century ago. The more work a volunteer does in transcribing labels or diary pages, the higher their standing in the expedition. They can move through the ranks of Technical Officer, Collection Manager, and Scientist to Expedition Leader. Images of expedition personal from the past enhance the reality of being one of the team and show the formal dress standards and personal grooming habits of the past!
Videos are available to provide more information for transcribing labels:

"Living in the world of poverty, life gets hard as one, two, three. The family goes through every hell," these are the beginning lyrics of a song performed by theatre professor John Binkley's University 100 class. The audio of the song was one of several multimedia projects posted on Moodle as part of the 2011 Freshman Celebration.
The song, "On the Run," was written by the students and inspired by the Freshman Common Reading Program book "The Glass Castle." The book is a memoir by Jeannette Walls, a journalist who overcame a dysfunctional childhood to become a success. Walls was CSUN's Freshman Convocation speaker this fall.
Binkley's class was one of 56 projects, including 29 virtual presentations, submitted for this annual freshman exhibition at California State University, Northridge in the Grand Salon on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. First-year freshmen enrolled in University 100 are asked to submit projects as part of the culmination of their work during the semester. Cheryl Spector, director of the Academic First Year Experiences program, which hosts the Freshman Celebration, said the freshman event is "modeled" after the graduate studies research symposium.
"This is an opportunity to say, 'hey you have arrived, your work is significant,'" Spector said.
The Academic First Year Experiences program aims to pull together various freshman-learning programs to enhance the experience of students at Cal State Northridge. About 900 people attended the celebration which included students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
Professors Sharron Kollmeyer and Wendy Snyder's linked class combined and created an exhibit called "Representing Our Dreams for CSUN." The project was inspired by Walls' book and an episode of a 1988 PBS documentary about mythology scholar Joseph Campbell. The episode, titled "The Hero's Adventure," examines the concept of the hero in cultures throughout the world. The class produced "glasses" that include each student's dreams for the years ahead at CSUN along with dragons/demons that must be overcome.
Another exhibit by professor Omar Gonzalez's class showcased a vibrant altar depicting the death of an Aztec god. The project, titled "Huitzilopochtli," focused on the adventurer Christopher Columbus and the actions that led to the fall of the Aztec culture. A life-size cardboard cut out with the face of Columbus was next to the altar with a depiction of the Spaniards landing on Tenochtitlan and a doll being sacrificed atop a miniature temple.
Two students from professor Ellyn Gersh Lerner's U100 class performed a "stomp." Each student used a large container and trash can as drums, creating a vibrant sound. She said the celebration helps to inspire freshman students.
"They get a picture of how vast it is to create a project based on a topic," Lerner said. "For some of them it is inspirational and informative where they say 'wow, this is the type of work that people might do at the university level and it is not a research paper.'"

It's awful, like there's a plug somewhere in my pysche keeping the sanity in and then something yanks it out and I swirl down the drain (chucking the baby out with the bathwater, as usual). And, as the text books call it, suicidal ideation is for me what happens when I'm on the platform and the train roars out of the tunnel, making that sound like hot wings angel flapping, and I think 'I could just slip myself between that train and the platform, like a vapour and that would be that'. I would transmuted into that message that says- to everyone's annoyance- 'due to a person under the train incident at Such-A-Place, there are delays currently operating on this line', 'due to a fatality at Such-A-Place, travellers are advised to continue their journey via alternative routes'.
But I don't, do I?
Today- the water gushed out all of a sudden- and every stranger's face was just murder to me. I left the museum and was going to go home, but instead I slipped into the church to pray at the chapel of the Sacred Heart. Which kneeling in the gloom I was filled up with cool soft light and watched the candles in my periphal vision. God isn't necessary for prayers to be answered. Not all prayers look for answers anyway; words have instrinsic power (sometimes).
I left and I knew I wouldn't kill myself really. 'You don't have it in you' said that lacerating voice. And it was right, because I don't.
(which is of course good). I don't. (thank god) I don't.
My father believes in a prime mover. Like the sound before the word is uttered; just that intention, the small putting of the air.
None of my family believe in a personal God. I don't either.
When I was in my late childhood/ early teens I developed this strange little personal religion, which basically resembled some kind of OCD after a few years. But I trained myself out of it. I had never known this was fairly common until Germaine Greer mentions it in the 'Female Eunuch'.
But I have a tendacy toward theology I think. Who knows where I got this strange athiestic religiousity from. It's really odd.
I went to the Quilts exhibtion at the VandA today, which was amazing. I mean just amazing. Needlework is just such an intimate artform. The skill and the wonderful craftsmanship made these quilt wonderful objects. But also the fact that they were made by people for personal use means they're like wonderful quirky maps of the inner lives of ordinary people- so many funny little touches and beautiful incongruities. And the fact that they're domestic items means that they carry intimate stories.
There was one quilt that pretty much made me cry. Made in the 1943 in the Changi prison camp during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, where a group of girl prisoners (8-16 years olds) had held girl guide meetings in secret in the exercise yard once a week. And they had made this quilt as a birthday present for their leader, sewn out of patches cut from their dresses and each embroidered on their name.
But there were also quilts made by soldiers in India in the 1860s, because the men were encouraged to take up needlework to keep them out of trouble. And a beautiful quilt made by women prisoners during transportation to Tazmania on the prison ship HMS Rajah in 1841. And one quilt by Joanna Southcott the mystic and prophet who had claimed to be pregnant with the new messiah in the early 19th century, with the inscription sewn in her own hair.
It was such a good exhibition. I'm so glad I bought membership (the student rate was actually really cheap if you pay by direct debit) because I can't wait to go again.
