What's Up with Denmark?
Posted By Sara On December 6, 2006 @ 3:59 pm In Big Moo,Big Pharma,Hype,Research Analysis | 4 Comments
Sara here. My Danish grandmother will be horrified by this post, but in my selfless devotion to you Apples, I'm taking that risk.
And so, I have to ask: What is up with Denmark? (Huh? you ask. Just go with me on this.) I've noticed a strange trend over the last decade. This could be my own erroneous inductive research here – in fact, I actually hope so – but the Land of Lutefisk seems strangely supportive of Big Pharma and the status quo (sorry, Grams).
First, two years ago, I heard about some "landmark" studies that came out of Old Dansk announcing that there is absolutely no link between autism and vaccinations containing thimerosal (a form of mercury). Nevermind that autism rates sharply increased around the same time that vaccines started being preserved with thimerosal. Nevermind that mercury poisoning symptoms and autism symptoms are virtually indistinguishable. Now, to be fair, the mercury/autism debate is hugely controversial precisely because we don't have a definitive answer yet. I suspect the eventual conclusion may implicate thimerosal, at least as part of the equation.
But, then, there was the fish study. Once again, researchers in Denmark came up with – er, concluded – that fish oil does not help those interested in reducing their heart disease risk. The study was a review, which is right up there with questionnaires in terms of scientific accuracy. Even worse, it was a review of cohort studies (cohort studies can have major problems with causation vs. correlation). Moreover, reading the fine print (not just the abstract), what the study essentially "discovered" was that people who are at a high risk for heart problems do benefit from fish oil, while people who are at a low risk do not. Now, think about that. In other words, people who don't have a problem will not benefit from a solution. Kind of like how my grease-cutting counter disinfectant won't do a great job of cleaning my freshly-scrubbed counters, either. But after this study [7] was reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, amazingly, what got media attention was that fish consumption just doesn't help heart issues. No one got excited about the additional finding that high-risk people can help their hearts with fish oil – just 40 to 60 mg a day can help! (That's actually okay, since there are already hundreds of rigorously-conducted studies proving fish oil [8] is good for reducing your heart disease risk.)
The lesson: Apparently, 1) Create a study following less-than-ideal methodology, 2) determine absolutely nothing from it, and 3) leave out the important part and splash the meaningless part all over the news. Hey, if it looks like a duck…it might be a Danish study.
Now, since then, there have been some pro-fish studies, so I'm willing to give the motherland the benefit of the doubt. Although I have seen several other pro-dairy, pro-drug, pro-status quo studies from Denmark, I will withhold judgment until more evidence presents itself.
Except, now, hot off the presses, [9] an authoritative announcement out of – you guessed it – Denmark: cell phones do not have any negative effect on the brain. Scientists in Copenhagen compared over 400,000 Danish cell phone users to the rest of the Danish population. They say that there was no compelling data to indicate that cell phone users had any greater risk of cancer or brain abnormalities. This does seem to confirm what the majority of cell phone studies have already concluded (except ones like this [10]). The electromagnetic rays emitted by cell phones haven't been found to have any impact on our DNA or cell structure. Fair enough.
But I'm watching you, Denmark.

- 1. The Huia ShowScreenprint
I came across this quote while researching my earlier print Sing:
"While we were looking at and admiring this little picture of bird-life, a pair of Huia, without uttering a sound, appeared in a tree overhead, and as they were caressing each other with their beautiful bills, a charge of No. 6 brought them both to the ground together. The incident was rather touching and I felt almost glad that the shot was not mine, although by no means loth to appropriate 2 fine specimens."
– Sir Walter Buller
(From The Penguin Natural World of New Zealand by Gerard Hutching.)
That inspired this print, called The Huia Show. I wish those who eradicated the Huia had been more considerate, as I would've liked the opportunity to listen to the Huia's music and watch them perform. I'd be happy to do their gig posters too.This series is screen-printed on cream 216 gsm Environment paper, which is made up using 30% post-consumer recycled fibres, which are visible in the stock. All are hand-signed and embossed in editions of 35–70, 500 × 750 mm. - 2. Kōkako Come BackIt would be nice to think the Kōkako have made a Comeback, but having never seen or heard one, I'd just like them to Come Back. This edition is split into two colourways – one for the blue-wattled North Island Kōkako, and one for the presumed-extinct yellow/orange-wattled South Island Kōkako.

- 3. Tīeke TourScreenprintOnce unceremoniously 'expatriated' from New Zealand's mainland and exiled to perform only on small islands, the Tīeke (Saddleback) has yet to fully recover to tour its homeland once again. Unlike the Tuī, Kākā, Kererū, Riroriro (and even Karearea!) that regularly fly past my window, I'm yet to spot a Tīeke.

Gov. Bill Ritter's chief counsel says the governor is meeting with an investment banker to study the possible sale of the state's interest in Pinnacol Assurance, a state-chartered workers compensation insurer.
Chief counsel Trey Rogers said Wednesday that Ritter hasn't decided whether the state should sell its share but agreed to meet with J.P. Morgan to determine what the stake is worth.
Rogers said Pinnacol has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan's fees, which haven't been determined.
The Legislature would have to approve any sale of Pinnacol, which has more than $2 billion in assets.
Pinnacol is the state's workers compensation insurer of last resort. The company came under fire last year following complaints that money that could have been used to help injured workers was instead spent on bonuses, employee perks and entertainment.

The Rear Seat Entertainment System incorporates DVD player, TV tuner, remote sound transmitter and earphone recipients, and helper include terminals. Travellers can revel in DVD, CD, TV, amusements, car route maps by remote earphones and car sound speakers. Mitsubishi Electric's Rear Seat Entertainment System understood two bundling results in true car, overhead establishment and focus support establishment. The overhead establishment sort presents an extraordinary plan where the DVD player and the presentation screen units are stacked and retractable in the featuring.
Treat yourself and your travellers to a life-changing knowledge and an unwinding, safe venture. The Mercedes-Benz back seat excitement framework empowers you to appreciate your DVDs, favourite pictures and even motion picture amusements on two awesome 7″ LCD colour screens. No more contentions in the back. With two screens, your youngsters can watch a film together additionally be accountable for their own particular review – because of differentiate DVD players! You can likewise use SD cards and other space media (through the USB interface).accept no trade off: the screen section improved by Mercedes-Benz ensures a short workshop visit, as well as best tenant wellbeing. Similarly as with each item in the authentic embellishments extend, the rear seat entertainment system consents to strict Mercedes-Benz guidelines legislating inhabitant wellbeing. The framework has been subjected to broad testing to create its accident wellbeing accreditations. The Rear Seat Entertainment Systems does not require processing plant pre-installation. It could be retrofitted in numerous current vehicle models. An amplifier is a device used for increasing the power and amplitude of a signal. The amplifiers are acknowledged as tweaking the yield of the force supply. Indeed, these mechanisms take the force from a force supply and control the yield to match the information indicate shape; however mind it with bigger sufficiency. The car amplifiers as the name details confirm the last sound yield of your car stereo. It gives noisy and clear sound on an unwavering groundwork.
Commissioning car amplifiers is testing. You need to determine the amplifiers gets enough air flow to keep from overheating while walling it in a manner that counteracts robbery. Fulfilling these requirements doesn't dependably yield the most attractive outcomes. Anyway, you can even now flaunt your individual style when commissioning your enhancer with these basic recommendations. Wind current is a significant attention when fixing an amplifier. The hardware in the enhancer handle a great deal of high temperature when you wrench up volume, and high temperature can harm the segments.
The easiest cooling technique is convection. It's straightforward since most car amplifiers accompany convection cooling as of recently inherent. Convection cooling works fine provided that the air circles. The perfect might be to commission the rack on a vertical surface in an open space with the blades vertically straightened. A constrained air framework has tripled the cooling limit of a basic convection framework. Essentially adding an electric fan to build wind stream over the speaker's high temperature sinks has an enormous effect. That is one excuse for why high force speakers have indoor regulators; indoor regulators control the fans.
While including an amplifier in an car it is imperative to think about the speakers restrictions. Point of fact, most manufacturing plant speakers may not do well with an enhanced indicator, so should redesign likewise. One must search for the evaluations of constant force or RMS. These evaluations will give the best evidence about what amount of force the speakers can hold. Car Amplifier Installation best offers by Sound and Alarm at best rates and giving awesome services in installation part.

Moscow, April 6 A prominent Russian Orthodox Church theologian has called on the government to deny a visa to Madonna, who plans to lend her support to the gay community during an upcoming concert in in St. Petersburg.
Madonna pledged her support to the gay community following the passage of a law March 7 in St. Petersburg that bans promotion of gay culture.
Archdeacon Andrei Kurayev, a professor at the Moscow Theological Academy, urged the St. Petersburg city authorities to ask the foreign ministry to deny a visa for Madonna, "because the purpose of her visit, as she put it herself, is to violate Russian law".
Madonna is scheduled to tour St. Petersburg with her new album August 9.
The singer has come out in defence of sexual minorities in her Facebook account, saying she would "speak up for the gay community… and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels oppressed" during her concert.
Kurayev also called on ordinary citizens to express their opinion.
"It is very important that various people, perhaps public organisations, could say they would assess St. Petersburg authorities depending on how they behave in this situation," he said.
But he warned against any public protest against Madonna's concert, saying it would only provide extra advertising.
If she violates the new law, Madonna would have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles ($170) and the concert organisers would face tougher sanctions.
The bill came into force March 17. The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) group Coming Out said the bill was "homophobic" and aimed at diverting public attention from Russia's "real political and social problems".
Homosexuality was illegal in the Soviet Union and was only decriminalised by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin in 1993, but anti-gay sentiment is still widespread.

Monterrey rallies, wins CONCACAF Champions League
Updated: May 2, 2013, 12:33 AM ET
Associated Press
MONTERREY, Mexico -- Monterrey won its third straight CONCACAF Champions League title Wednesday night, rallying from a two-goal deficit to beat Santos Laguna 4-2.
After a 0-0 road draw in the first leg, Monterrey fell behind 2-0 at home. But it scored four times in the final 30 minutes, with two goals by Aldo De Nigris, including the winner on a header off a long free kick by Alberto Suazo in the 86th minute.
De Nigris got Monterrey going with a left-footed 12-yard shot that made ...

You're creating a new Service Application, and in the "use an existing application" pool drop-down menu you see listings for many application pools that don't actually exist in IIS.
How this happened:
You probably created many Service Application Pools when creating old Service Applications that have since been deleted. After you told SharePoint to remove the Service Application, there was an unused Application Pool in IIS that you subsequently removed manually.
How to clean this up:
Open a PowerShell window that has the Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell snap-in loaded, and use the Remove-SPServiceApplicationPool "APP POOL NAME" command to tell SharePoint that those old application pools no longer exist. The next time you try to create a new Service Application, those old nonexistent options will be gone.
Happy Sharing and Pointing.

This video demonstrates co-authoring in Word 2010. It would be great if they discussed implications on the versions. As we know without checking out documents, versions grow very quickly.
Co-authoring is a bit more difficult to demo on a virtual image in SharePoint training as one needs to authenticate in both browser and Word to impersonate another user.

Click here for the first post in this series, and visit us for SharePoint 2010 Training.
One thing you may notice between List and Library forms is that there are different controls available, and that Library forms have a superset of the controls available to List forms. The image below has the extra controls available in a Library form highlighted in blue.
Let's start from the bottom and work our way up to explain why these are missing.
Everything missing here has to do with some sort of repeating element. Repeating elements don't make any sense in a List form, as you can't have some subset of your list columns have extra data in them. That's just not how a list works. If you have columns that allow multiple selections, then you can certainly populate them individually with multiple-selection people pickers or check boxes.
But let's say we want to have a list where we pick multiple people and multiple cars and remember who drives which car based on that information. It's true that we wouldn't be able to do this, but we couldn't do it in a single SharePoint list anyhow. There is no cross-column relationship possible there, so even if we made sure to pick the same number of people as cars, we still wouldn't know which car belonged to whom.
Note that if you create a list form that allows you to manage multiple list items with the same form, repeating containers are used by that form to handle that replication.
The only thing extra in this section is the file attachment control. In a library form you can have multiple attachments. You can do the same thing in a list form with the Attachment field, but only one of them is allowed. You can use it to upload multiple attachments, but you can't have them in more than one section of the List form. In a library, you could have several different attachment controls in various locations.
The first piece missing from the List forms is the option button. This is not to be confused with a radio button and is instead more like a checkbox. While it is possible to re-cast a drop down list box as an option button after the control has been added to the form, it won't behave like you would expect. Don't do this. Feel free to experiment, but it won't behave in any way that you'll want.
Next we'll talk about the absent external data column. In a Form Library this allows you to choose from a Business Connectivity Services entity. In a list form, it's not available. If you go ahead and add an External Data column to the list and reopen the form, the controls available for the columns populated by it will be merely lines of text with no actual link back to the entity. People could put in whatever text they want. I'm sure many of you can think of workarounds for this involving population of options from web services and so on, and those are legitimate solutions, but there is no direct mechanism to mimic that behavior.
Lastly, the bulleted, numbered, and plain lists are missing. Experiment by trying to convert a list box on the List form into one of them, and you'll find that the behavior is not what you would expect. The basic premise is that that sort of entity does not really exist in a SharePoint List, and with no available analogue the controls have been removed.
You cannot digitally sign a list form. You can't do it for a library form either, but you can instead sign sections of it. Putting everything into one section and signing that would be functionally equivalent to signing the entire form.
The general theme, aside from the external data issue, is that you're missing controls because SharePoint Lists do not store all of the data types available in InfoPath forms. Just as Form Library forms are a subset of what is available in standard InfoPath forms, the List forms are a further subset of that.
Until next time, feel free to contact us for any of your SharePoint 2010 Training needs.

Click here for the first post in this series, and visit us for SharePoint 2010 Training.
The first question you will need to answer before creating your form is whether it will be stored in a list or library. This question is sometimes hard to answer, so we'll do it by analyzing some extreme cases. Your situation will likely fall somewhere in the middle, so it will be up to you to decide where your case lies on that spectrum.
For our first scenario let's pretend that we're working for the IRS. Someone in charge made a deal with Microsoft and our taxes will now be done by saving them in SharePoint lists. For some reason we want to put tax software companies out of business. Our architects already handled the hardware issues that would come from a hundred million people storing their taxes in SharePoint, so we don't have to worry about that aspect of it at all. All we need to do is decide if we want to use a form library, or just a standard list form.
You may have guessed that we'll be using a form library, but why? What reasoning drove us to make that decision?
First off, this is an enormously complicated form. Had we chosen a list form, each piece of information would be stored as column data. We'd need thousands of columns to handle every scenario, and many of those requisite columns wouldn't be used by the majority of people filling it out. We'd be hiding most columns in every single view, and would need to have customized conditional view forms for individual items.
This alone would steer us toward a form library where we get the views for free and only extract the columns that we care about for list views, but what about alternate means of submission? With a form library, we could e-mail enable the list to allow people to fill out their taxes and e-mail them directly to the library. To do the same thing with a list would require custom code on both the form side as well as the "make a new list item" side.
This hints at another reason this scenario dictates that we use a form library: custom code. When you're filling out your taxes, there are a lot of little things that your tax software is doing for you. It's checking rate schedules behind the scenes to determine how much you owe. It's determining if you're trying to deduct health care expenses that don't meet the minimum required amounts for deductibility. While some of these examples could be handled with basic validation in a list form, some of the information could be coming from other data sources that aren't easily reachable from InfoPath.
We could go on for a while with even more analysis pointing to a form library for this extreme case – we didn't even mention digital signatures, but let's leave it at that. To boil it down to something more easily remembered and catchy:
Use a library if you're collecting a lot of data, want alternate submission methods, or need to have custom code running in the background.
Let's look at another scenario: We want to let people request vacation time through a web form.
What information are we collecting? The employee name, which could just be a lookup to the user information list.We want to know what days they would like to have off, so a start and end date for their vacation. We want to know their department, but we get that from their User Profile information. Maybe we want to know how much vacation time they have accrued? For our example, this is stored in another system and we'll be looking that up manually when it comes time for approval, as there are currently no software hooks to grab that information via.
So we need three pieces of information: a name and two dates. After we get this information, we might want to have a Gantt view of it to see whose vacations are overlapping. Maybe this only matters by department (so we don't leave a skeleton crew at an important time), so we pull that column in from the user lookup and have filtered views for each.
Why are we doing an InfoPath form at all? We want the information to be formatted in a nonstandard way, with the two dates next to each other instead of above and below. We also want to ensure that the dates selected are in the future and that the last day is after the first day.
Since the form is fairly basic and we're using all (or most) of the columns in our list views, we're doing a custom list form.
Despite what we've just outlined, there may be cases where you need to pick the "wrong" sort of form for other reasons, some of which will be outlined in part 3 of this series where we explore the different controls available in the two types of InfoPath SharePoint forms.
In the mean time, feel free to contact us for any of your SharePoint 2010 Training needs.
Oct 12th
At Pilothouse, we do a lot of SharePoint Training, but in the course of a week long class there isn't as much time to cover some of the topics as in-depth as we would like.
This is the first of a series of posts that will discuss many aspects of custom form creation with InfoPath. Here we're giving a brief introduction to the what and some of the why behind these customizations, and in the next parts we will be digging a bit deeper to learn more about what you can and cannot do with this tool.
As with most things in SharePoint, some seemingly difficult things will become trivial, and some seemingly trivial things will become difficult or impractical. I don't say impossible because when you know as much as some of us do about the product you can come up with custom-coded solutions to many of those impossible cases, but impractical is a fair term to throw around.
New in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to customize list forms with InfoPath Form Designer 2010. In SharePoint 2007 it was only possible to collect data from these forms with a form library (if you know how to get InfoPath form data into normal lists in SharePoint 2007 without custom code feel free to post your tricks – there are a few ways).
One of many issues with a form library is that it is not an actual list, but a document library. One implication is that you cannot set the item level permissions for the entire list to "view only your own items." For surveys or other data collection tasks that would prefer individual data to not be shared with others, this was problematic. Yes, you could write a custom event receiver to change permissions on new items that have been added, but at the point where you want to start allowing modifications you have to think a little harder about what the receivers are doing and theoretically have more than one working in concert.
The first parts of this series will be addressing the following questions:
Sep 12th
I decided to take a look at Office 365 to let Microsoft host SharePoint for us, but it turns that Office 365 wants to do a lot more thanjust SharePoint hosting for you.
Here is our current collaboration/document management setup
The initial setup process for Office 365 is very simple. My initial impression of the admin page was really good.
I did not move email hosting to Office 365 as it was not my intention and Google seems to be working just fine, plus Android in it integration is great.
I was a bit disappointed with the way SharePoint was set up. It seem like you get one site collection and you are forced to have a top level site with a custom publishing master page. Collaboration and document management are supposed to take place at the sub sites.
I believe that Office 365 would be better off just focusing on internal collaboration and document management instead of trying to build a so so external site on SharePoint. After looking around this setup I decided that I like the flexibility that we currently have with our SharePoint setup and will not be moving anything to Office 365 just yet. Also, I don't have a Windows 7 phone to see how well the integration works; I assume for some organizations it will be important.
Overall, I never felt that the publishing feature was how you start selling SharePoint ot a business that has not used SharePoint before, but ti certainly seems a strategy for Office 365. We'll see if they change it soon.
We recently updated our sharepoint training dates. Click here to see the schedule.
Sep 1st
This only applies to Site Collection backups, and not farm backups. Farm backups are apparently just fine as long as you run the psconfig update command afterward. I haven't had to deal with these specifically yet, and if those have the same issue then I'll post at a later date (when I come across those issues).
If you have a site collection backup from before a service pack was applied, you can not restore from that backup after the service pack. What you'll want to do is to set aside another environment (even if it's a virtual image) from before the update in case you need to restore one of these old backups in the future. After you have the content database restored with the site collection in it, you can attach to the new environment and run psconfig's update to get it up to speed.
The pre-SP1 environment I stood up for this purpose was a Windows 7 developer install of just Foundation on no domain at all. The final destination was in a domain running server.
Yes, I just had to do this. Yes, it was a huge hassle. Yes, it worked.
Here's a link to the relevant page on technet.
Happy restoring!

All of Pilothouse summer classes are for SharePoint 2010. Our last SharePoint 2007 class was held last week in Las Vegas. It is unbelievalbe that we run 2007 classes for almost five years (starting in June of 2006). SharePoint 2007 is definitely a great product, but as not as good as 2010.

Never Alone With You In My Mind...
Laying alone wrapped in my favorite quilt to keep out the cold. As I close my eyes I see you, there, next to me and that blanket becomes your arms and the quiet that once was is replaced by the beat of your heart. Hearing and feeling that pulse and soon we become one as your arms hold me tight and your breath tickles my neck. Your body warms mine as I quietly fall asleep... meet me in my dreams.

'The Fosters' Renewed by ABC Family for Season 2
October 12, 2013 09:10:29For being a new high-rated show on ABC Family, "The Fosters" has received a new season order. The teen family drama series, which became a sleeper hit last summer, is renewed for a second season by the young-skewing network.
" 'The Fosters' has demonstrated its ability to build an audience, and the creative team's compelling storytelling assures us that there will be more growth in upcoming seasons," says ABC Family CCO Kate Juergens. "The show's dynamic cast and groundbreaking storylines resonate with our core viewers and leave them wanting more."

May 31, 2013 01:05:31Just a few days shy of its premiere, ABC Family introduces viewers to "The Fosters" family in a new promo video. Making its way out via TV Guide, the featurette shares scenes from the multi-ethnic family's first dinner with new member Callie, a troubled teen with an abusive past.
"When Callie meets the family she's quite taken aback," says Maia Mitchell, who portrays Callie. "She's very used to the typical family structure. So, to be lumped into this kitchen with Latina twins and two moms and Brandon it's a lot to deal with."

Carson: Cops Could Be Trained to Shoot For The Legs
Dr. Ben Carson, author of "One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future" argued that while Officer Darren Wilson did nothing wrong in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, police should be better trained in non-lethal force such as shooting aggressors in the legs on Tuesday's "Hugh Hewitt Show."
"First of all, I don't think that the police officer did anything wrong. Nevertheless, there are probably additional techniques and knowledge that he could have been given. So all along, we probably need to beef up the instructions for police officers in general so that they don't place themselves in such dangerous situations" he stated.
Carson continued, "he [Wilson] had every right to protect his life. But I do think that there are probably other techniques that could have been used."
He specified "for instance, in a lot of places, police officers aren't even allowed to go into the more dangerous areas by themselves. They're always paired. Or you know, people use tasers, people learn how to shoot people in the legs to stop them from charging, things of that nature. And I seriously doubt that he'd been given that information." SOURCE
Dr. Ben Carson may be a strong Conservative in the eyes of some, he is quite likely a fine doctor and a great American, but when it comes to Law Enforcement, guns, their use and the Second Amendment, Dr. Ben Carson doesn't know his hand from his foot and he just cost himself any support he may have gotten from me.
"Why couldn't they just shoot him in the leg" is the cry of the dumber than dirt anti-gun Libbers, not solid Conservatives and knowledgeable gun people and 2A supporters, at least not in MY opinion.
Carson may indeed be a marvelous person but where guns are concerned, he is ignorant.
Semi-automatic weapons ok in countryside, but not cities
Appearing on Glenn Beck's radio show this past week, Carson took a vastly different stance from most conservatives on the issue of gun control, claiming you shouldn't be able to own semi-automatic weapons in large cities. Continue reading

I told her that they were basically "scary black guns", but she wants more information than that. I would love to give her more than media summaries on which to base her opinions.

Lord John and the Private Matter (Mass Market Paperback)
Shipped to Tattered Cover in 3 to 7 days
The year is 1757. On a clear morning in mid-June, Lord John Grey emerges from London's Beefsteak Club, his mind in turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty's army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking. But his efforts to avoid a scandal that might destroy his family are interrupted by something still more urgent: The Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a comrade-in-arms who may have been a traitor. Obliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that touches every stratum of English society—and threatens all he holds dear. From the bawdy houses of London's night world to the stately drawing rooms of the nobility, Lord John pursues the elusive trails of a vanishing footman and a woman in green velvet, who may hold the key to everything—or nothing.

Cutting back celeste
Hi, Went to the nursery to buy my first fig and they only sell ones about 4 ft. tall in a 5 gallon bucket and it is trimmed like a tree. One trunk about 1 inch in diameter. They told me I need a big tree like theses and to chop off the top and this is the only way to have figs here because the freeze kills the bushes. I just left confused. Is this correct? Again Im very new to this so I really appreciate the help! I live east of Dallas zone 8 if that helps.
My twin brother used to live in the Metroplex. His neighbor had a large fig tree with lots of fruit! I think you were told a lot of hogwash! That said, your area can be difficult for fruit production if you have a long winter warm spell, followed by a freeze. Plants start to grow in your area, only to be hurt by an arctic cold snap!
My negative experience with Celeste tells me to warn you that fruit production in hot weather seems problematical with this cultivar. My Celeste fig trees are dropping most of their fruit, as usual. I have been told it is the heat. Of course, your weather is much more consistently hot than mine in extreme South Jersey. My type of Brown Turkey seems very adaptable in different climates. You may wish to contact me by e-mail for a cutting this winter.
About cutting the fig tree, about 20 years ago I planted 2 Fig trees my 1st experiance with figs. They were in pots and about 5 feet tall, and the man told me when I plant it to cut the top half off. I did and the next spring it took off growing and in 3 years it was loaded with figs and large enough that I had to climb it to reacg all the figs.I would trim it like he said and hope he is right.
I live in Zone 8B Austin, Texas. My experience is that fig bushes (multiple-trunked trees) are the best way to go for our area. After you plant a young fig tree, don't be surprised if cold snaps kill it to the ground the first couple of years. If it is a cold-resistant variety, the tree will be more resistant to cold as it gets older. Trimming the tree back in the very early spring a week or two before the tree breaks dormancy is a very good way to stimulate multiple suckers (new sprouts) from the base of the tree. In regard to Celeste dropping its fruit in hot weather: If the tree is stressed for water in hot weather, it is much more prone to drop the fruit, particularly if it is potted. Mature in-ground Celeste trees in this area, where it is not unusual at this time of year for the temperature to approach 100 degrees F every day, seem to do fine. Although a number of my Celeste variants are still maturing fruit, mature in-ground trees tend to mature their fruits in June and July in this area.
I went to another nursery and they said not to cut it back. Here is URL link with a picture of it (hope it works). The wooden fence is on the east side of the fig 5 ft. away. Hope I did good.
Here is a link that might be useful:
The wooden fence is great for sheltering the fig and helping to create a favorable, slightly warmer microclimate. In my opinion, the tree is too close to the wooden fence and the wrought iron fence. It looks fine now, but a number of years from now, when the Celeste is a mature tree, it will be crowded by both fences. I would consider planting it at least 10 ft. away from both fences for ease of access to the tree as it gets larger. Your tree does look very healthy. If you decide to move the tree, wait until very early next spring, just before it breaks dormancy. If you would like for your fig to be a multi-trunked bush, then as painful as it will be for you, cut the top off of your tree and several new suckers will emerge from the base. If you would like to train the fig as a single-trunked tree, then trim all suckers when they emerge, and prune the shape of the tree to suit you. The pruning should also ideally be done in the early spring as well.
I Live in Connecticut. When I first took an off-shoot from my parent's fig tree in South Jersey, to plant here in CT, everyone said "No Way". It has been 7 years now and my fig tree has thick branches and gets hundreds of figs. Only about 20 figs rippen to be eaten. but the tree is fine out side and I am cutting it way back this year and I expect to get a good harvest come August/ September this year.

Star Trek Online introduces Romulans in its May expansionBig news for Star Trek fans of the MMO-playing persuasion, as Cryptic have decloaked the next big update to Star Trek Online. Titled "Legacy of Romulus", it's pretty much the largest single expansion since the game went Free-to-Play, as it opens up a full third player faction, the Romulan Republic. Starting May 21st, players will be able to start Romulan and Reman characters and level them all the way from beginning to endgame with exclusive storylines. In addition to the Romulan faction, the Klingon faction is getting a content boost that will allow players to start as Klingon from the beginning, rather than having to unlock the faction by playing a Federation character first. Max-level players will gain a new Tholian Reputation faction to farm. In a long-overdue change, players will be able to reset character traits chosen at the creation stage, as well as change the color of their interface. Personally, I'm pretty stoked for this.

Ive been reading the threads here going back to around when the world went crazy late last year and have gleamed a lot of useful information thus far, very useful and thank you. My intended situation is to open small in my current office which is zoned correctly and I have my landlords approval. I have my own small real estate brokerage and we deal primarily in foreclosed homes so we have very little walk-in customers as all our clients are out of state. I have one vacant room that is 11X10 and it will be the store per say. It is securable and the safe is in the storage room. I plan to fund the shop with around a 10K loan from the real estate business, the two will be separate, I have an LLC for the RE and just formed an LLC for the shop and have obtained an EIN, both documents I sent in with the application and the $200 check which has been cashed. Not concerned about the clearance as I have CCH and NFA stuff and Ive been a good boy since my last Form 4. I plan to register with the popular online sites and auction sites to get my name out there for transfers. As for inventory, I plan to try and get aligned with the recommended distributors and then see what the offers are and go from there. I may also stock ammo or more than likely will. As for accessories, Im going to do a wait and see there at first. Next July I plan to send in my SOT app and money and get started in retail NFA as well. The plan to wait is so I dont spend 500 bucks for nothing since Form 3s are taking so long. I do want to be able to take credit cards and that is one area I could use help on please. Recommendations there would be very helpful, lowest fees, non anti gun like Cube. And the ability to not only swipe but also take orders over the phone. As for tracking sales to I can pay the state for doing nothing for me except taking money from customers, I plan on a simple cash register, new or used, I figure I have time to shop the local want ads and Craigs list and use stamped invoices to start with. Security wise we do have a number of windows in the front lobby and Im wondering if having a gun shop inside will be a magnet to the dregs of society and if I need to consider having internal bars installed. Whats the thinking there please? In a nutshell the above and additional insurance will be my only startup costs unless someone sees that Im missing something. I have been in contact with the NRA insurer and have that ready too. Oh, one other thing, I have snagged the domain for my new company and already have email in it and have registered with the ATF for notices. Any insight from those who have been there and were or are still doing is would be helpful. I also plan the register with the FFL forum once I do have my FFL. Thanks in advance, BAllen Sales LLC

Bob, I certainly appreciate your devotion and thoughts to the new business venture. Being in the industry for years and still at the present. The only thought that comes to mind is, normally it is a slow start as you begin to build up the business regarding exposure to the potential customers. In time you will have repeat customers and referrals by word of mouth which is based on customer satisfaction and service. And as stated some items can be effectively sold on the internet. You need to do some research on the products that you will have readily available for sale and those that will be ordered for the customers. A word of caution: Reasonable delivery on items ordered for customers is essential. It will make it or break it. Obviously the ones that will turn the capital invested the quickest. Secondly if you are not making 30% on items you will go broke. Which brings me to the next consideration. To develop a rapport with quality vendors will also take time. And unfortunately for the good vendors for example, Yankee Hill, RCBS, Federal (ATK), Remington, Springfield, Sig and others you will find to get favor from them it takes a significant purchase of product to increase your profit margin and also to get reasonable (time) deliveries on product. In this industry the big dogs suck up a lot of product which delays deliveries to the smaller guys. I guess if this seems it is trying to discourage you it is not the intention. Only from experience to advise you to be successful it will take a significant investment, time and persistence. With the correct selection of products it can be very lucrative if operated effectively. Good luck on your new venture and if I can ever be of any assistance do not hesitate to contact me or some of the other fine folks here on the forum. 03

Thank you Sniper03. Good info there.
I became a member of FFL123.com in interest in getting my FFL and I get newsletters and emails about Approved credit card processors that deal with firearm sales and the give a break on the fees to the members, u may wanna check them out, I think it cost $20 to be a member I believe. There are coupon codes I hear out there as well to save on member fee.

The SOG catalog that comes in the mail every ten days makes good bird paper if you have a feathered friend. I was an FFL for a bunch of years, and I always dreaded the pair of suits that camped out at my business once a year or so, going over my books. I am sure you will enjoy that also. I would rather beat my toes flat with a ball peen hammer, than be a FFL dealer again. Something calming about buying a gun retail, filling out paperwork, once, that I never have to see again, or reconcile.
Well, I had my interview Monday. It lasted two hours. He pretty much went over all the laws of an FFL and we skipped Class III and importer. Young guy, nice but very professional and down to business. He said it should take four to six weeks to receive my license. Learned a lot in that two hours.
In regards to the payment via credit card... I listened to Gun Guys Radio podcast this week and they had a guest that talked about his company that does this for firearm companies. I cannot remember the name of it right now though.
I just look and it is MacMillan Merchant Solutions. The guest said they have the lowest rates available. By the way I am in no way affiliated with them, just passing along information
When I filed for a business license in Missouri, I was flooded by mail regarding credit card acceptance, insurance, mailing services...etc. Do you have your business registered new as an FFL or as an existing business? I'm surprised you haven't been inundated with the same mailings and email.
Never waste time deciding between two guns....buy both of them.

My husband and I got a couple of sandwiches to go. The Crusader Club and the Italian Wrap. The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were amazing. The focaccia bread was incredible! The potato salad was delicious as well. We will definitely be returning. Our only complaint is that they are closed on Saturdays.
Visited the Crusader Cafe for lunch. I ordered a salad featuring sliced pears, pecans and a scoop of chicken salad on lettuce. It was a very modest scoop for the price ($7.25) and the lettuce used was nothing unusual. It wasn't served with a roll or other accompaniment. My husband ordered a pressed sandwich. Again, the sandwich was average and... More
Came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were the only ones there. There are only around 3 tables inside and around 4-5 more in the entry hallway. The breakfast was by no means anything special. Maybe their sandwiches are better. I would definitely not go back for breakfast. Overpriced too.
We have been eating here for several uears. The folks are loely and the food is great. Check out the valentine dinner. Don't know the price but last year it was above par at a a relatively reasonable price. And no crowds.
The food is so amazing you can taste the love in the food. It is a sweet and quaint little place that has the best orange juice that is really fresh squeezed.Everything on the menu is wonderful you can't go wrong. This is our favorite Sunday place to eat with the family.
Excellent breakfast and lunch menu which changes weekly. Old world setting and service. Chef quality food preperation made with fresh ingredients. If you haven't been there - get there soon!
My husband and I had brunch here and it was great! The food was good and Steph, our waitress was extremely attentive, helpful, and sweet. She was cute too...haha.
This Cafe was wonderful, The historical building that has this cafe inside was very inviting. The food was great, very fresh tasting and leaves you wanting to hurry back! The service was great also, very friendly and helpful! Looks like I found my new lunch place!
I do not know which is hotter, the food or the gorgeous ladies that prepare it. The food is the very best and I love going there for lunch.

Saying Goodbye
I love you
far too much
and that is why I must go.
I can't stand another day
waiting for you to change.
I can't bear another day
waiting for the old you.
when I know it just won't happen.
It kills me inside
to know I may never see you again.
But It's my own fault.
I got too close.
I said too much.
I held on too long.
I should have known
I had to goodbye.

How to Say Shut up in French

- "Ta gueule" is the more offensive way to say it, but note that "Tais-toi" isn't very sweet either.
- Literally 'la gueule' refers to the mouth of an animal. It means "your mouth" (only that you have an animal's mouth). That is why you should never say this unless you are itching for a knuckle sandwich.
- DO NOT say this to serious persons who might understand French, they will be offended.

When we first reported on EA's reworked DRM scheme for Mass Effect PC – one that removed the onerous 10-day re-validation process but now only allows a maximum of three activations – we teased that we were ready to "pick up our torches and pitchforks and join the mob outside."
Now, a little over a month later, that mob has grown to some considerable size, spurred on by a forum thread on BioWare's site being referenced on consumer-advocacy blog The Consumerist. The problem: some confusion over whether or not uninstalling the game reinstates one of your three activations. After some wrangling (you know how support centers can be) EA confirmed that "unfortunately, you will not gain an activation by uninstalling the game." So, be stingy with those installs, gamers.
[Via Consumerist; thanks, Eric]

Why we'll win
The obvious matchup is the Arizona Passing offense against the Steeler Passing Defense.
Their passing game is clicking now. But they have been shut down by far less talented defensive units this year. They haven't faced a D even close to ours because there isn't one. If you look at the passing stats the Steelers have allowed an avg. of 157yds/gm. The next closest is Baltimore with 180 yds/gm. There are 9 teams between 180-200 yds/gm. So teams ranked #2-9 are within 20 yards of each other top to bottom. Yet we are 23 yards/gm better than #2 Baltomore. That is a clear and decisive advantage. The Arizona pass attack is good, but it has been proven that it can be stopped. No one has proven they could pass effectively on our Defense. When you flip the field around I also feel that our Offense, although it has struggled at times will be able to move the ball against a mediocre Arizona Defense. If this team would happen to win this game, this could be the worst Defense to ever win a SB. Let's make sure that doesn't happen. Steelers 31 Cards 17 |
Re: Why we'll win
Very good post and I agree but another big reason we will win? They disrespected the terrible towel!!!!!! :mad:
Re: Why we'll win
I don't get why people suddenly think Warner and Fitzgerald are unstoppable and we'll have problems matching up against them. They're not the first good quarterback and the first good receivers we've faced. And Arizona lost almost half their games this year. Short of a 5-TD game, Fitzgerald is not going to save them from getting dickstomped.
Re: Why we'll win
Thank You Cudnt Said It Better Steel Reserve !!
Re: Why we'll win
Re: Why we'll win
To me the Steelers seem to be really focused on getting this last "W".
Re: Why we'll win
Re: Why we'll win
There defense though has stepped up and all together they are a much better team now then they were in the regular season. Warner will get time to pass due to the great play of the OL in the playoffs even with the 31st ranked rushing attack in the regular season, the playoffs brought a much different and better Arizona team and the game will be better and more challenging that we all think.
Re: Why we'll win
I think the game will be close just as most of our games this year.... if you read inot the media hype you would think Warner and Fitz are unstopable... Our D will show up you cant count on it...I worry more about Boldin and Breason and special teams...
Re: Why we'll win
Cards fans like to say that our D didn't play any high powered offenses like Baltimore, Cinci and Cleveland. They say that this pads their stats. Nevermind our D face 4 of the top 10 and 7 of the top 15.
But the arguement can be swung the other way. Their offense faced the #28th and 30th ranked defennse twice a piece in St. Louis and San Fransisco. And San Francisco was 20th against the pass. This can be argued as padding the offensive stats of the Cards. |

Press Releases
eHarmony Reviews Updated and Improved on BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com
eHarmony is testing a new layout on their site and their improvements are keeping them as the number one choice for Best Dating Websites Reviews.
"eHarmony reviews are updated and improved about every 3 months," says BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com, "and eHarmony is consistently in the number one position."
The reviewers say it stays in the number one position because of its dedication to matchmaking. They say it's not just a social site where people have to be afraid of getting scammed by members, or spammed by inappropriate photos.
"eHarmony is a legitimate site created by a man with a PhD in clinical psychology," one reviewer said. "Of course it's going to be great for finding real compatible matches."
The site says the new layout being tested adds a lot to the online dating experience. It says the layout makes looking at profiles more intriguing and appealing.
With the layout changes going on at eHarmony, a few of the features have changed as well. Icebreakers are gone, but members can still send a smile to any match that they would like to.
Something to Talk About has become a section without a title that simply shows a few things each member and their match both find enjoyable.
The new layout promotes eHarmony Guided Communication prior to sending a message to a match right away. This is a feature members can use to get to know a match in a slower, more natural manner. " Guided Communication leads the topics of your first few emails. You answer and ask questions in these categories: 'Quick Questions,' 'Makes or Breaks,' and 'Dig Deeper.' After going through that process, members can begin to email with more freedom and talk about whatever they want to.
BestDatingWebsitesReviews.com says this is one of the best things the new layout does. "You would never go up to someone you just met and say... 'I read your profile, and after reading it, I think we'd be a great match. You're amazing.' And so on and so forth. It's more likely that you would start by asking a simple question to get to know them, and things would evolve from there. Guided Communication prompts that natural evolution, creating a more realistic experience for each member."
eHarmony isn't the only matchmaking service reviewed by the site. The other top reviewed dating websites are Match.com, Chemistry.com, and PerfectMatch in that order.
At Best Dating Websites Reviews visitors can also find dating advice on the blog. Some of the more popular advice blogs posted on the site are What to Get a Girl on Valentine's Day, Rebound Relationships, and How to Know When to Propose.
Visitors can also explore and contribute to any of the dating forum topics, or participate in the dating poll questions.
Personalized search results can also be provided by the search tool on the home page. Visitors simply put in information about themselves, and they receive a list of dating websites that would be good for them.
"Even with all the features provided on our site," one reviewer says, "people still come mostly for the dating website reviews. And the majority of visitors are steered towards eHarmony for their matchmaking ability."

bBased on data on 19,131 marriages from 2005 to 2012 by Harris Interactive, couples that met on eHarmony had significantly fewer breakups than couples who met via all other methods combined. Combining methods that account for less than 1% of marriages sampled."

Once again, science has backed up something that many of us knew all along: Overall, "bad boys" get the girl (or get more girls) more often than "good boys."
Specifically, a study done by New Mexico University shows that there are certain personality traits that women, despite all common sense (and despite the advice of their mothers) seem to fall for: self-absorbption, thrill-seeking, and deceptiveness. This doesn't seem to make sense on the face of it: if the purpose of sex is to continue the species, these are traits you wouldn't think that the species needs.
A female friend of mine once offered the opinion that these traits (sometimes referred to as "the dark triad") are merely amplified examples of "maleness," so naturally women are attracted to them. I'm not so sure I agree. That's a little like saying women would rather date a cardboard box doused with pheromones than an actual, living "nice guy." It also implies that women are never, ever selfish thrill-seekers who lie or cheat. I had hoped to discuss this further with her, but her husband was on his way home from work early that day, so she had to rush me out the back door. I'm sure she had a perfectly good reason for that, though.
I've had a look through the birth charts of clients and friends who have found themselves in the habit of getting involved with these "bad boys," and it's hard to see a definitive astrological cause. However, two patterns do seem to stand out.
Share a free sample Friends and Lovers. Are you two best friends and lovers? Try a free sample of this powerful reading today!
1) The "bad boys" in question seem to have major placements that fall in the Twelfth House of the women they get involved with.
2) The women in question seem to have stronger-than-average Mars placements.
At least part of this makes astrological sense to me. The 12th House is traditionally associated with things like deception and intrigue, so certainly that works. And in Vedic astrology, the Twelfth is associated with what they call "bed pleasures" (which includes sleep among other things, by the way). So there may be a case to be made for "badness" being inherently sexy that way. And a strong Mars at least implies an interest in aggressiveness... which is often expressed in terms of cunning and deception to get one's way. Mars, of course, also has a lot to do with one's sex drive.
Still, the whole matter doesn't really make sense. As much as I would like to rely on the notion that a woman's definition of a 'bad boy' is a 'good boy' who won't stick around, it isn't that simple. Also, since (theoretically) a birth chart is a birth chart, gender simply shouldn't matter... and yet men don't seem to be as attracted to "bad girls" as women are (traditionally) drawn to the male equivalent.
Regardless of the astrological factors, psychologically, The Romance Of The Bad Boy continues. And in fact, "romance" is (I believe) the operative word. I suspect that when it comes to "bad boys," woman are (in part) falling into the tendency we all have to mythologize our romantic partners. In Part Two, I'll be delving into the astrology a little more, as well as the literature. Expect passionate encounters on the foggy moors of Scotland... and a dire warning to keep your teenage daughter away from vampires, no matter how pretty and glittery they may seem at first.

An estimated 50% of all drug molecules used in medicinal therapy are administered as salts. This fact indicates that the salification, or salt formation, of a drug substance is a critical step in drug development (1, 2). A drug substance often has certain suboptimal physicochemical or biopharmaceutical properties that can be overcome by pairing a basic or acidic drug molecule with a counterion to create a salt version of the drug (3). The process is a simple way to modify the properties of a drug with ionizable functional groups to overcome undesirable features of the parent drug (4). This fact underlines the importance of salt formation for drugs that are designed, developed, and marketed after a rigorous research and development program (1).
