More On Jiri Fischer Cap Situation
by Paul on 10/05/06 at 10:09 AM ET
Comments (0)
Yesterday Detroit fans were in an uproar after reading this from the Detroit Free Press,
The Wings' cap number is at $43.6 million, including $1,444,000 for Jiri Fischer. "I talked to the league a number of times and was given hope that Jiri Fischer would not count against the cap, but as it played itself out, there was nothing in the CBA to allow Fischer to be off the cap," general manager Ken Holland said.I emailed Bill Daly, NHL Deputy Commissioner late last night asking him about this. His response was the Wings talked with the NHL about a potential cap "exemption" for Fisher due to his heart condition. Unfortunately, our CBA doesn't permit an "exemption" in those circumstances. However, Mr. Fisher is eligible for Long Term Injury status though, which would allow the Red Wings to apply for the ability to replace him in the lineup with a player or players up to the full amount of Mr. Fisher's salary. I wanted to get the other side of this story and appreciate Mr. Daly responding and clarifying this situation.

Anything Can Happen In The NHL

from the National Post,
But NHL popularity is on the rise and admittedly has as much to do with the new look as new players. So we might as well open our eyes to the possibilities of this new season, for they are practically limitless. - Why, just a little later this month, Washington ace Alexander Ovechkin, who notched a hole-in-one recently, will score a goal with a putter from 200 feet. He will doff his visor to the crowd. Those guys are good. But he's great. - The rink in Glendale, Ariz. will run out of oxygen by Nov. 4. The frustrated building manager will ask the Coyotes' Jeremy Roenick and Georges Laraque to shut the hell up for the duration of the five-game homestand.read on

The NHL Cannot Afford A Mistake

from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
A year after returning from a labor dispute and a canceled season, the NHL is fighting the perception that it is a niche sport. Saddled with TV ratings lower than those for NASCAR and poker, and selling a sport whose players are overwhelmingly white to countries that are increasingly diverse, the NHL must find new ways to win fans' hearts and sponsors' dollars. Its past efforts have failed spectacularly, particularly at clarifying its rules and dispelling the myth that its players are toothless Canadian lumberjacks. After allowing the game to stagnate for a decade, the NHL last season introduced rules that sped up play and boosted scoring, giving it a good product to sell. Its sales methods, however, have had all the impact of a whisper at a rock concert. Television drives every league, and the NHL's vehicle is a go-kart carrying it on the road to ruin.continued (reg. req.)

Looking At Shanahan

from the New York Times,
"He's a winner," Jagr said. "That's what we were kind of missing last year. We didn't have many guys on the team who won the Stanley Cup, who have been in the finals. You have to go through it, to learn how to play the tough games." Jagr predicts that Shanahan's influence will be felt over the long haul, but many of the younger Rangers are already paying attention. "He's very calm," Lundqvist said. "I like seeing him. There is a lot of respect. With a guy like that, you know all he has accomplished. So you watch him." On the ice at practice, Shanahan has spent his time diligently trying to learn Jagr's idiosyncrasies. He finds his new role challenging, but he is trying to embrace all that it brings.more

from William Houston at the Globe and Mail,
They may seem like unwanted guests, but Pierre McGuire and Glenn Healy are on the cutting edge of hockey broadcasts because of a new role they have created. It's the bench-side commentator, a hybrid of reporter and colour analyst that had its debut in the National Hockey League last season. McGuire, with NBC, and Healy, on Toronto Maple Leafs regional telecasts, set up at ice level between the two benches as part of the play-by-play team. They quickly produced results. In addition to providing quick information on strategies and injuries, they had a front-row seat to the drama and conflict of coaches and players working together under game conditions.continued

Pressure On Dallas

Comments (0)
from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
The Stars named Brenden Morrow team captain last week. He has earned the position, coach Dave Tippett said, and many who have watched Morrow said he was born to be a captain. But to pull this switch off, the Stars had to take the "C" away from Mike Modano. And that's a horrible thing to do. Bottom line, it just doesn't happen much in the NHL unless there is a change of coaching staff or a battle within the team. Brett Hull was stripped in St. Louis in his battle with Mike Keenan. Vincent Lecavalier had it taken away in Tampa Bay when they decided it was given to him at too young an age. But to just take the "C" away from the face of the franchise? That's harsh.read on

from Sportsnet:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been sold, Sportsnet has learned. It is believed the team was bought by Jim Balsillie, owner of Research In Motion (RIM), the Waterloo, Ont.-based company that manufactures Blackberry devices, for a price of $175 million, according to KDKA in Pittsburgh. Balsillie had wanted to move the team to Hamilton at one point but more recently indicated he will keep the team in Pittsburgh.continued added 8:04pm, from the Globe and Mail,
A spokesperson for Mr. Balsillie declined comment last night. However, a source said Mr. Balsillie is expected to be in Pittsburgh Thursday night for the team's opening game against the Philadelphia Flyers. While a deal is expected to be announced shortly before the game, other sources cautioned that last minute details still needed to be worked out and that the agreement could fall apart.more

Post your comments about the first game of the NHL season. One thing I noticed right off the bat, even though the introduction was in SD, it was stretched to fit the 16:9 format. Last year, we had the sidebars. By the way, I am watching on INHD via Comcast.

from Pierre LeBrun of the CP via Yahoo,
Question: What are your expectations for league revenues this year, in other words, where do you think the salary cap is headed? Saskin: Well I think we're still going to see growth. I don't think we can expect that tremendous, one-year boost above the projected number that we had last year. Last year we exceeded by the projections by over $350 million, which is fantastic but also unusual because there was a lot of uncertainty in the projection.read on

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
After a long session with the Ouija board, here are predictions for the 2006-07 NHL season: The Avalanche sellout streak will officially end, prompting many scribes and other media members to opine that it proves this wasn't "a hockey town," after all - just a bandwagon tied to a successful franchise.... After last season's increase, NHL scoring will flatten or slightly decrease.... NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's greatest accomplishment would be to convince the Wirtz family to sell the Blackhawks, but he again won't have the nerve to try it this season....more

The other 21 passengers sustained injuries and are still being treated, said Wu Jun, executive vice major of Changji, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Heavy fog that reduced visibility has been blamed for the accident.

If you are not serious, the agent doing the CMA would be well advised to simply provide you a statistical justification of price.
If you are serious, and have intention of selling your home, the agent will need to dismember the componets of each sale and apply value analysis.
However, of greater value, is understanding how a potential buyer will evalutate your home and how Bank of America will treat everyone. This aspect of understanding the home sell process is what makes for easy, conveinent and drama free transaction. It is this analysis the represents the reality you must embrace and for which you must prepare.
How will you know the difference?
If you are serious, you will be presented with a side-by-side comparison.
When you are up to you eyebrows in data, you will become aware, pruchase decisions are made emotionally, and justified logicly. This means, selling your home for top dollar is as much art as it is science.
Did your agent look at your home and then preview the CMA homes? If you're in Waverly Woods, for example, and the other properties are not, you could have a legitimate case that the comparables are not the best.

Really beautiful and nicely made
Todd from Somerville, MA– Verified Buyer
Solid wood, really beefy yet simple construction. Doors are a thick metal with nice finish that seems to hold up. Overall, very impressed with this unit. Arrived well packed too.
Solid piece of furniture
Gayle from Campbell, CA– Verified Buyer
Great piece but not for the price. I bought it with a coupon and if I did not get it on sale, I would be upset about paying $800. It is a good, solid piece of furniture and comes with minimal assembly (just the legs). Love the wood, although it is lighter color than pictured & I am considering refinishing it. The white metal doors are cool. It's shorter than expected, but that is my fault for not verifying the dimensions. The first piece was damaged and All Modern replaced it without any hassle. It was the best customer service that I've ever experienced.
Ruth from Albuquerque, NM– Verified Buyer

it was exactly as described. overall happy with the purchase. Shipping took so long, it took like 10 days to process and another wk for it to be delivered from LA to San Diego.
Sianne Wilson from Montclair, NJ– Verified Buyer
Love this item. It's well made, looks great and is pretty functional. The only hitch is that we were told it had a hole in the back for DVD and TV cables, which it doesn't, so we have to buy a drill bit or something to make one. But other than that we are very happy with it.
I love this product!

I was extremely impressed by how well made this piece of furniture is. I have never been happier about an on line purchase!

Wool rug in the master bath?
I currently have a cotton runner in front of the sinks and a mat in front of the shower. That worked fine all summer but the bathroom is over the garage and the tile floor gets COLD.
I found a rug that coordinates perfectly with the rest of the room (on the right) but it is wool. I'd probably keep the bath mat but use the wool rug in the center of the floor. The toilet is in a separate room, so that's not an issue.
Anyone have a wool rug in the bathroom?
I have a wool runner in my bathroom as it has cold floors. Love it.
Ditto. Our master bath is quite big and I have a 5x7 wool in the center between the tub, shower, and double vanity (a companion rug to one in our master bedroom) with small washable mats in front of the shower and tub. Toilet is in separate room with a matching small washable mat.
I also have black cabinets and linen closet door, window treatment is black with a similar floral design as yours and my wool rug is black background with coordinating colors. LOL. You have great taste!

Wok (peking pan) in 33 cm / 13': decent size?
I found a peking pan whose construction I liked at my local Asian store. It is Japanese made and the handle is part of the wok itself (not welded or riveted, except when it folds back onto itself to become a round handle), which is what I liked. It also has a round bottom which is what I was looking for.
The one pan that my store had is 33 cm in diameter, i.e. 13 inches. I would cook for 1 to 4 most of the time, and it seems that the size would be okay, but I could return the 33 cm and get a 14" online for the same price shipped. Is it worth it? or will my 13" be fine? If I then love woking so much that I want to do it for company, it seems that I'd then want a 16" and not a 14", and then the two sizes would complement each other?
I have barely used a wok before (the Ikea one) and look forward to using a better one, but am not sure about the size. It also seems that size is a reflection of culture: a Thai site said "get a 16" it's good for one as well as eight;" Half the European sites (where kitchens are smaller) say "30 to 32 cm is a good size" while some others say "get a 35 cm" (~ 13 3/4), and in America, home of the ubiquitous big stove (I hone myself :p) people say "14" is a minimum!"
I'm confused :)
Get the 16'' wok if you have plenty of room on your rangetop, otherwise get the 13'', don't get anything larger.
If you are using a wok for traditional Chinese stir-frying, the limitation will be the heat from your range's biggest burner. Typically the meat is cut into small pieces and marinated. The wok is heated to very hot (put on highest heat, leave it for 5 minutes), then a small amount of oil is added, when the oil smokes the marinated meat is placed in the wok and cooked quickly over highest flame.
You want the meat to quickly brown without overcooking. If you cook too large a batch of meat, this will not happen. The marinade and juices from the meat will pool in the wok and the meat will boil in this liquid. It will not brown until the liquid is cooked off, by which time the meat will be overcooked, rubbery, and gray.
What is ''too large'' depends on how hot your burner is. Almost all residential ranges have fairly weak burners, 10-15K BTU/hr. A commercial range will be 20-30K BTU/hr. The chef at the Chinese restaurant uses a special wok range with 100-250K BTU/hr. So he can stir-fry 1 lb of marinated meat in 15-30 seconds.
On a residential range you'll need to cook in small batches, 6 oz at a time. Yes it is a pain, but the results are worth it. A small batch like that doesn't need a big wok.
A lot of recipes ignore this, and tell you to cook all 1 lb of meat, etc at once. Those authors are not testing their recipes under home conditions - they probably just adapted a restaurant recipe, or don't care.
Traditional Chinese cooks use a wok for everything - braising, deep frying, simmering, steaming, etc. But those don't require a big wok either.
The disadvantage of a wok 16'' and larger is that they crowd out other pots on adjacent burners. The disadvantage of a wok 13'' and smaller is there is less room to turn the food without losing a piece or two over the edge.
Also get the wooden wok spatula, it is shaped to fit the curve of the wok. Also get the wok ring support, you may have to experiment to get it to fit over your burner. Finally, get the cheap lid and have it handy when cooking, because if the oil catches fire, the fastest and safest way to extinguish it is to put the lid on.
Don't pay much for this stuff. A carbon steel wok should cost $10 to $30.
A wok should get seasoned over time. Treat it like a cast iron pan - don't scrub with soap, just use a brush and hot water immediately after cooking, then back on the burner to dry. Wipe with oil before putting it away.

The skies were pure and the fields were green
And the sun was brighter than its ever been
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
We were close as any brothers that you ever knew
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
There was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know I'll never learn
Why any boy should die so young
We were racing we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
But it was long ago and it was far away
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car
Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are (x4)
They are, they are
And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me
Again and again and again
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave
I had to run away alone
So many threats and fears - so many wasted years
Before my life became my own
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back!
There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything I'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
And the signs along the highway all said
Caution! Kids at play!
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstrey torn
But everything we tried was right
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the backseat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the backseat now

Illinois NAACP Supports Marriage Equality
April 12, 2013 by Lynne Bowman, Regional Field Director
Today, the Illinois Chapter of the NAACP announced its support for marriage equality. President Mitchell noted in the announcement that the group's "bedrock commitment" to civil rights, includes marriage equality. You can read the full statement, including comments by NAACP President Ben Jealous, here.
HRC field organizer Ryan Rowe's work with the NAACP during the Maryland, Delaware and North Carolina marriage campaigns was instrumental in developing support among African American voters. He has been able to move those relationships to benefit the Illinois campaign and has been on the ground in Illinois working with the Illinois Unites for Marriage Coalition to garner support among African American legislators and clergy.

Fall is finally here. That's right you can bust out your wooly sweater, drink copious amounts of hot cider and carve up every pumpkin in sight. September is amazing since it is filled with promise. Fresh notebooks, new fall looks and plenty of trends to try on for size.
Last week we talked about gadabout Ryann's favorite fall look aka The Bold Red Lip (There is still time to enter the giveaway and win Mary Kay® NouriShine™ Plus Lip Gloss in Rock 'n' Red and a Mary Kay® Lash Love® Mascara in I ♥ black) and while that is one of my favorite looks, today we are going to take a look at the Fresh Face Basic Beauty. This is my go to look, because it so simple and goes from day to night without the blink of an eye. Perfect for those of you looking for something that can get you through your 9 to 5, but still work for drinks with the cutie two cubicles over. Below is a step by step guide on how to create this look.
Beautiful Basic Step By Step Guide
- Apply Golden Vanilla mineral eye color to brow bones. Sweep on Lavender Fog mineral eye color all over the eyelids. Add Truffle mineral eye color to the upper creases and outer eye areas.
- Line eyes with Black eyeliner, smudging top and bottom lash lines.
- Apply Mary Kay® Ultimate Mascara in Black to top and bottom lashes.
- Sweep Shy Blush mineral cheek color to contour beneath cheekbones and lightly on the apples of cheeks.
- Line lips with Neutral lip liner , then fill in entire lip area.
- Lightly apply Toffee creme lipstick to top and bottom lips. Add a dot of Café au Lait lip gloss to the center of the bottom lip and blend for a glamorous shimmer. For those of you looking for something a bit bolder try out Black Cherry or Merlot.
Hint for finding the right foundation
- Yellow-based foundations work well on almost everyone. Foundations with a little yellow will even out almost every complexion. Yellow minimizes red, which may be inherent in skin's coloring as a result of tanning, aging or broken capillaries.
- Test a shade on your jawline or cheek. The correct shade should literally disappear into the skin and blend with the skin tone of the neck rather than the face.
- When trying a new shade, it's best to test in natural light. Also be sure to allow a few minutes for the foundation to adapt to your skin before making a decision on the color.
Mary Kay has 9 other ways for you to reinvent vintage Hollywood glamour. While the Fresh Face Basic Beauty is my personal favorite, I'm thinking I might have to give the Elegant Allure a try. What fall look are you leaning towards? For those of you looking for more amazing looks and the products show here check out Mary Kay Tips & Trends.

Jul 09 - Homily: St. Nicholas Pick - Nothing Else Matters
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Jul 9, 2013
St. Nicholas Pick and his companions were martyred for the Faith in Holland by Calvinists in 1579. Fr. Benedict points out that, in the face of death, the things of this world appeared as the vanities they are, and the love of God is the only thing that matters. For us, we must "die daily" to the vanities of life in order to prepare for our own death, whenever and however it may take place. "For the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us ... I would rather endure death for the honor of God than swerve even a hair's breadth from the Catholic Faith." - St. Nicholas Pick Ave Maria!

LED down lights for 10ft ceiling, lumens, other ??s
I am in the midst of a major remodel/addition project, and I met with the electrician today. I have some questions about lighting the kitchen.
The kitchen will have 10 ft ceilings, light hardwood floors (natural oak), medium cabinets (natural cherry), stainless appliances, and light walls (light grey or green) and white ceilings. I don't know about the counters, probably a mid-toned granite, but no decision yet.
The kitchen space is approx 18 ft by 18 ft. All 10 ft ceilings (flat).
Reading up on lighting here on the forums, it seems that 35 lumens per s.f. is a general guideline for kitchen lighting. However, does this assume 8 ft ceilings? If yes, then how much do I need to increase from 35? About 30%? So, about 50 lumens per s.f.??
Very recently, we finished our basement, and, based on recommendations here, I had the (same) electrician use the Home Depot branded Cree CR-6 (2700K) can lights down there (in Halo housing, with lutron dimmers), and they are FABULOUS. The windowless basement is nicely lit up, cozy, and the dimmers are perfect. No buzzing, no flickers, etc. (I did push him to use more cans than he wanted to . . . not wanting a dim basement . . . So we put 16 cans in about 600 sf of space . . . I love it.)
Anyway, so I was blissfully planning on using the same lights for the new addition spaces, but my electrician tells me that I should consider higher output fixtures for those very high ceilings. Something like 800 or 1000 lumen instead of 600. UGH. I see I can get a CR6 in 800 lumen, so maybe that would work?
What are the rules of thumb for increasing lumens/sf for a taller ceiling . . . and what do you think about this idea of using different fixtures?
I am also going to have about 1000 sf of 9 ft ceilings in the new space (big inlaw suite), so I need to pick cans/LEDs for over there, too.
All told, it is a BOAT LOAD of lights to put in, and so the difference between $40/fixture for the HD CR6 600 lumen fixtures and 60-100+ per fixture for alternatives is not insignificant. (Rough guess is 60-70 can lights . . .)
So, anyway, what should I do?
The 35 lumens per sq ft rule should work fine with 10' ceilings. In all likelihood, ucl will more than compensate.
It does not really take the ceiling height into account.
An alternative is to utilize cove lighting as either a supplement or replacement.
Thank you. All the cabinetry will go the ceiling (stacked cabinets with crown molding above the top cabinets), so I don't think cove lighting will work.
What do you think about the electricians suggestion to go with 800-1000 lumen fixtures instead of the 600 (cheaper!!) ones?
If you look at the last page of the specification sheet for the CR6, you will find the Application Reference table which shows an example spacing and the illumination.
From the table
Using a 4x4 spacing, the 800 lumen version will give 47 foot candles while the 625 version will give 36, all for a 10' ceiling.
It would be advantageous to reduce the number of cans/ pots - reduced install cost, fewer holes in the ceiling.
In the kitchen the overhead lighting would likely be augmented/ supplemented by under cabinet lighting.
When installed, there is little visible difference between the CR6 variants. The higher output versions may appear to produce more glare.
The UCL would provide better task lighting than what would be possible from the overhead lights.
Following is a useful link for converting lumens/ sq ft to foot candles.
Here is a link that might be useful: lighting unit conversions
Thanks much for the detailed feedback! Yes, I will have LED UCL wherever there are upper cabinets as well as pendants above the island and peninsula -- so most of the work surfaces will have those lights for supplemental task lighting.
I am off to read the specs on the CR6 and educate myself on foot candles!
I have something like 18 CR6 LEDs in my 18.5' x 18' kitchen. Periphery has 8' ceiling, with 9' ceiling in a tray area over the island. I used the regular CR6, except for the 6 over my island (~4 x 8), one over the table that abuts the island, and one over the sink, where I used 800 lumen CR6's. I have fluorescent lights under the cabinets, except the one over the sink. Plenty of light, but not overdone (at least for me). I also have cove lighting in the tray; about 2400 lumens of LED strips -- indirect, so less effective. All LEDs are on dimmers, in groups. UCL is on/off, no dimmer. You don't really notice a difference between the regular CR6 vs 800 lumen ones, especially since they are on different dimmers -- they all play well together.

Going on a wine tasting vacation? Best regions for your taste!
Mar 21, 2012, 6 a.m.
Traveling to various wine regions to fully understand all facets of viticulture is an opportunity not to be missed if you enjoy drinking wine. If planning on going on a wine tasting vacation, there are several great wine producing areas to visit without having to leave the country.
Napa Valley
Napa Valley wineries are world renowned for their fabulous wines. With more than 200 wineries in this area alone, it is the most concentrated wine region in the world. The Napa Valley was also named "The World's Best Wine and Food Destination" by TripAdvisor's 2010 Travelers' Choice Awards. Most of the wineries in this area offer tours, tastings and the opportunity to buy wines right from the makers. Learn how to taste wine and how to pair it with food directly from those who know best.
Washington State
According to Wines Northwest, Washington State has become the fastest growing wine producing area in the country. In the last decade alone, the number of wineries has increased more than 400 percent. Many people underrate the fantastic wines that are emerging from this area, but the fact remains that the best wine growing regions in the state share the same latitude and geographical conditions as some of France's best wine growing areas. Visit these wineries and enjoy them before the secret gets out!
Other great wine producing areas in the United States are Sonoma County, New York's Hudson Valley and Oregon. By visiting wineries you can learn valuable wine tasting tips and in-depth information about wines and the wine making process. Many of these areas offer tours so that you don't even need to worry about driving. Consider any of these great destinations while planning a wine tasting vacation!

DavidAM added a post in a topic: IP.ComernceI ordered a demo, however support section is not available there, I would like to see how it looks now.
I get the error once clicked: Fatal error : Class 'IPS\nexus\Support\Status' not found in /home/b22702/public_html/system/Theme/Theme.php(624) : eval()'d code on line 2875
DavidAM added a bug in Bug TrackerIP.Comerce - Grouped packagesI. Assigned package is not included into renewal terms after changing renewal terms at parent package
1. Create package with base price 100 and 3 renewal terms, e.g. 1 day - 10US$, 2 - days 20US$, 3 days - 30US$
2. Create another package that must be associated with above (parent) package and create single (or multiple) renewal terms, e.g. 1 day - 100US$ for it too, make sure to check to combine renewals with parent
3. Make a purchase of the above and select lower renewal terms of package 1 then go to Manage your purchases, renewal terms then should be 101 right? because it is combined
4. Click cancel renewals on package 1 then click reactivate and select higher renewal terms (or any actually, does not matter)
5. Confirm your choice and see that it does not include renewal terms of assigned package.
II. It is also not possible to cancel individual assigned packages to exclude them from grouped renewals
III. In scenario of packages configured like described above - means: parent package and child package that needs to be assigned to the parent with grouped renewal terms it does not charge for time paid in advance
1. Purchase package 1 and extend it for a year
2. Purchase package 2 that has to be assigned to package 1, it will charge only purchase price - what will make package 2 usable for free until expiry date of main package (even the package 2 has renewals itself)

DavidAM added a post in a topic: IP Nexus credits/virtual currencyHi,
Credits system is already handled by IP.Nexus. You can setup minimum and maximum amount of credits Customers may purchase. Those credits can be used for any further transactions.
1 Credit = 1$. I did not see anywhere a way to specify amount of credits given for the single unit of specified currency.
You can setup currency and override locale in Store & Client Area Settings area of Nexus.
I haven't checked if there is a dedicated language bit for this specified area of the Nexus to change the "currency" credits are displayed with, however it would be worth to check language management in your ACP.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
My favorite book of all time. Let me tell you up front, I am extremely hard to bring to tears. That being said, there were parts during this novel that just got the water works going and got them going good. This book gives you and in depth look in to the lives of so many different characters as "Captain Trips" takes its course. You become attached to and feel for every character in this book. Good and bad. Mother Abigail and Randall Flagg.
Stephen King shows his true inner genius in this novel. He shows the different aspects of society adjusting to major changes. Also the ending in this book is great. I highly recommend this book. It has major length but it is well worth the time spent reading it.
best Stephen King book i ever read, bar none. I read a lot of King, too, so take that praise as you will.
The characters are almost tangable, they are that well developed and the plot was exciting and harsh at once. A very vivid picture King paints here in this masterpiece of a book. One that is a must read for those who like horror, drama, post-apocolyptic themes in a book.
Horror has its fans, but I'm too disturbed by the broil of emotions it stirs up to sincerely enjoy it. I had a brief encounter with Stephen King in highschool, ending with "no more, I'll never read stuff like this again." But I'd heard too many good things about The Stand, I'm a sucker for big books like its Uncut Edition, and $1 at a yard sale sent all my wisdom out the window. Besides, I'm an adult now, I can take it. I'd forgotten his ability to make me feel uneasy even when I'm not between the pages. This book ruined my whole month.
I wouldn't have cared a fig if he'd gone with the nukes approach to clear the world's slate, but no: it's rampant disease on the heels of Ebola headlines, disguised as a cold like the one my whole family was down with as I read the opening chapters. Nor does he skip quickly ahead to "Here's the survivors." Instead there's all these (mostly) likeable people going about their normal lives, oblivious to what's coming, and the slow, slow unravelling of said lives. I've read he had a blast writing this portion. He squeezed every ounce of joy out of it that he could, and out of me while he was at it.
I finally had respite when Randall Flagg was introduced, bringing a bit of fluff fantasy to relieve the too-real realism (and, haven't I met this guy in The Eyes of the Dragon?). The horror elements are not too emphasized from this point on, and it becomes more science/political fiction with only some yucky bits and a touch of fantasy thrown in. The story was just okay, and I think I would have been fine with a shorter version. Stephen King can write, no mistake (my gripes about point-of-view changes aside) but this is only his tribute to a number of other properties: his Lord of the Rings, his Star Wars, his (thematically) Canticle for Leibowitz. I felt the same way about Hubbard's Battlefield Earth. I see how this can be the novel fans rate highest, since he cranked epic scale up to 11 and how do you top that? Give it a try if it sounds intriguing, but this isn't a must-read.
I first read The Stand in `95. I was fifteen. I have never read the original version, which is over three hundred pages shorter, and I don't intend to. If you trek over to Amazon, reviewers the world over scream their distaste for this uncut version, mainly because they think the added material has no purpose. Even King warns readers in the foreword that this version is heavier in the character development department and high in filler. But this is the version he wants people to remember. To me, the original version doesn't exist.
I will say that this book drones on and on in the middle. The first part of the book is 382 pages long. The middle part, Book Two, comes in at 592 pages. Book Three is only 230 pages long. Could the middle be trimmed? Sure thing. Does it need to be? It depends on how you like your character development. When I read King, I don't read his books like other authors' works. I know I am in for information overload, so I take my time, sit back, and relax. If you've read other King books and felt he was wordy, The Stand might just make your head cave in. This book is thick, and for good reason. It's the end of the world, baby, and King wants you know every single detail.
The most disturbing part of this book for me was the sympathy I had for the bad guys, if you can really call them that. Lloyd Henreid and the Trashcan Man are dynamic villains with far more to say about the world than any of the protagonists. Then again, I always have rooted for the broken of us.
This book is not for everyone, but it is one of King's best.
This is one of my favorite Stephen King books. It has been years since I've read it, but I still remember the characters. At the time it was the longest book I had ever read, and every second was enjoyable.
In short (well, not so short), this is the book that has everything - adventure, romance, prophecy, allegory, satire, fantasy, realism, apocalypse, etc., etc. Even Roger Rabbit gets mentioned. ''The Stand'' does have some great moments and some great lines... But the overall effect is more oppressive than imposing.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0451169530, Mass Market Paperback)In 1978, science fiction writer Spider Robinson wrote a scathing review of The Stand in which he exhorted his readers to grab strangers in bookstores and beg them not to buy it.
The Stand is like that. You either love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. Stephen King's most popular book, according to polls of his fans, is an end-of-the-world scenario: a rapidly mutating flu virus is accidentally released from a U.S. military facility and wipes out 99 and 44/100 percent of the world's population, thus setting the stage for an apocalyptic confrontation between Good and Evil.
"I love to burn things up," King says. "It's the werewolf in me, I guess.... The Stand was particularly fulfilling, because there I got a chance to scrub the whole human race, and man, it was fun! ... Much of the compulsive, driven feeling I had while I worked on The Stand came from the vicarious thrill of imagining an entire entrenched social order destroyed in one stroke."
There is much to admire in The Stand: the vivid thumbnail sketches with which King populates a whole landscape with dozens of believable characters; the deep sense of nostalgia for things left behind; the way it subverts our sense of reality by showing us a world we find familiar, then flipping it over to reveal the darkness underneath. Anyone who wants to know, or claims to know, the heart of the American experience needs to read this book. --Fiona Webster

Six Cases of Antihistamine-Resistant Dermographic Urticaria Treated with Oral Ciclosporin.
Summary of "Six Cases of Antihistamine-Resistant Dermographic Urticaria Treated with Oral Ciclosporin."
Background: Dermographic urticaria (DU) is characterized by strong itch and wheals induced by mechanical scratching. H(1)-receptor antagonists may reduce symptoms of DU to some extent, but other treatments being used for chronic spontaneous urticaria, such as H(2)-receptor antagonists and corticosteroids, are not usually effective for DU. Case Summary: We here report six cases of antihistamine-resistant DU treated with oral ciclosporin. Four cases suffering from severe itches that spontaneously occurred before the appearance of wheals in response to scratching were substantially improved by use of ciclosporin for 21, 16, 32, and 8 months, and one of them reached complete remission. Two cases did not obtain a benefit from the treatment, because of insufficient effects and/or side effects. Discussion: Oral ciclosporin may be of value as a potential treatment of anti-histamine-resistant DU.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Carcinoma, Verrucous
A variant of well-differentiated epidermoid carcinoma that is most common in the oral cavity, but also occurs in the larynx, nasal cavity, esophagus, penis, anorectal region, vulva, vagina, uterine cervix, and skin, especially on the sole of the foot. Most intraoral cases occur in elderly male abusers of smokeless tobacco. The treatment is surgical resection. Radiotherapy is not indicated, as up to 30% treated with radiation become highly aggressive within six months. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
Antitubercular Agents
Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.
Fibromatosis, Gingival
Generalized or localized diffuse fibrous overgrowth of the gingival tissue, usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, but some cases are idiopathic and others produced by drugs. The enlarged gingiva is pink, firm, and has a leather-like consistency with a minutely pebbled surface and in severe cases the teeth are almost completely covered and the enlargement projects into the oral vestibule. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Heart Arrest
Cessation of heart beat or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. If it is treated within a few minutes, heart arrest can be reversed in most cases to normal cardiac rhythm and effective circulation.
Purpura, Schoenlein-henoch
A systemic non-thrombocytopenic purpura caused by HYPERSENSITIVITY VASCULITIS and deposition of IGA-containing IMMUNE COMPLEXES within the blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidney (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS). Clinical symptoms include URTICARIA; ERYTHEMA; ARTHRITIS; GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE; and renal involvement. Most cases are seen in children after acute upper respiratory infections.

Trevor & Annie are wonderful guests! They arrived in Glasgow towards the end of their around-the-world trip. Very polite and respectful as one might expect of seasoned airbnb travellers.

I recommend them warmly
Annie and Trevor stayed a few nights in the studio; we didn't ahve a chance to meet, but we had lon(website hidden) exchanges and they were very friendly and kind.

I was very pleased to have them stay at home and would recommand them to any host.
