What gift/s did you get the midwives?

What gift/s do you recommend getting for the midwives? Ive been watching 'one born every minute' (now finished) and they always seem to eating! Chocolates maybe...
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:07 AM
i got my midwives, the ones who looked after me for 8 weeks a couple of huge boxes of choccies
the midwifes who delivered ds? nothing nada zip
they were rude and obnoxious
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:09 AM
DS1 was born in the public system and I never saw the same midwife twice, let alone form any sort of relationship with them sufficient to buy them a present.
DS2 was born at home under the care of a private midwife. Obviously I got to know her very well from many long antenatal visits and extended post natal care. I bought her a lovely tote bag with a swirling screenprint of a pregnant woman and since she has many causes that she cares for and is actively involved in, also donated to one of those.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:14 AM
Oh...I never ever thought to give them anything. I thought the priviledge of looking up my cooter was thanks enough. :/
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:20 AM
I have a friend who was a midwife - she always had a great stash of chocolate and wine!
Now she is working in a community health role working with 'at risk' young mothers.... and we have to buy our own booze and chockies!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:21 AM
Nothing. I didn't feel the need to.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 09:21 AM
I got the midwife who delivered DD a cup & saucer with small pack of tea, I thought she would be probably drinking it in those wee hours she sits delivering babies. She spent so much time with me and encouraging my Vbac I wanted to give her a little something to say thank you. I also left one of the bunches of flowers I was given in hospital with them to enjoy, I had so many and taking them all home was hard.

Can't quite recall, but I think the midwife who looked after me through the pregnancy, the lactation consultant, and the midwife at delivery (who was lovely) got a card with DD's photo (like they'd care!) and a small pack of lindt.
The maternity ward got most of the flowers that we were given, plus a box of chocolates to share.
The evil midwife who was on shift overnight should have got a poo bomb... but didn't
2nd time around the midwife got to keep the baby
Edited by CallMeProtart, 29 January 2013 - 09:29 AM.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:19 AM
Packet of timtams from me! I had figured the midwives could use something to keep them going except, the labour went so quickly that they didn't end up getting them until AFTER the baby was born!
I had the most wonderful midwife for the delivery, I wished I had more than just a packet of timtams to give!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:26 AM
Nothing... I laboured at home and had DD an hour after arriving at hospital. I had a midwife in the room with me for about 5mins of that hour - the 5 mins before she was born.

Nothing. My midwife was a rude b**ch who stabbed me with pethidine against my wishes. She's lucky I didn't give her an assault charge.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:54 PM
Nothing..like a PP don't think I ever saw the same midwife twice..most of them were nice enough and gave me good care, I figured they were being adequately remunerated for their jobs ...if one of them went above and beyond I probably would have bought them flowers or chocolate, but I didn't feel any of them did....
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:02 PM
I adore all the midwives i've had.
Midwife 1 (DS) we got her a build a bear
Midwife 2 (DD1) hand cream pack
Midwife 3 (DD1) box of choccies
Midwife 4 (DD2) import beers and a build a bear of his fave footy team.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 03:07 PM
I didn't get them anything didn't know we had to.
I did like the midwives that delivered ds and the ones on the Ward were ok I really never thought of it that is their job I thought looking at babies all say would be thanks enough.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 08:48 PM
Labor went for so long I probably went through half the midwives on the books. I bought two huge boxes of chocolates (ferreros and wittners) and had them share it around on shift.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 12:46 PM
Thanks Ladies all good to know
Posted 30 January 2013 - 03:54 PM
DH bought the midwife who delivered DS a bunch of flowers. I wouldn't have thought to get her anything!
Posted 30 January 2013 - 03:59 PM
Nothing. Never crossed my mind to give them something?
Posted 30 January 2013 - 04:11 PM
Some time later (6 weeks! ) I made up several batches of different cookies and gave a selection to the ob, his midwives, the two m/ws at the hosp and to the 'gift givers' with a little home made card and photo of bub.
Took me some time to make cookies as it wasnt just mix them up, 20 mins in oven, done! As you can imagine with a newborn and a 3yo, it was a afternoon long job.

My mums a midwife and she always says the best present is when she gets a heartfelt thank you note.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 05:09 PM
Just from my perspective there was never an expectation to be given a gift by my patients, that being said I did receive some amazing gifts and heartfelt notes or cards.
It is a very human thing to feel as though you have made a difference in someone's life and I think more recognition across the board for good service would result in better job satisfaction and improved self worth.
I would definitely not give a gift just for the sake of gift giving, I do think it must be earned.
There has been lots of chocolates, alcohol, hand cream, tattslotto tickets,perfume, writing paper, movie tickets and money (that we don't take) but the most emotional gift for me was a hug and perhaps a card with a few words in it as I have been able to keep them all.
The very best gift really is to see a healthy baby in the arms of it's ecstatic parents.
* gone all teary now*
Posted 30 January 2013 - 05:28 PM
We gave the midwives a couple of boxes of chocolates and the Midwife who delivered DD a separate box of chocolates and a card. She was wonderful.

The rupee snapped its two-day upward trend by depreciating a hefty 22 paise to close at 55.43 today on fresh dollar demand from banks and importers ahead of the US Fed meeting on monetary policy.
The rupee resumed lower at 55.29 per dollar compared to its last closing level of 55.21 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market.
With dollar demand rising, it dropped further to 55.49, before ending slightly better at 55.43 —a loss of 22 paise over yesterday. Capital inflows did not provide much relief to the rupee, said dealers.
In the previous two sessions, rupee had gained 23 paise.

Zephirine Drouhin and my childhood home
A little story that touched my heart----
I grew up on a lake over in N.J.-in a little bungalow built by my parents--and hung on to during the depression even though my father never walked (he had polio when he was 9 months old and crawled till he was 18 and then walked on crutches) he always provided for his family (but that is another whole amazing story)
when my parents passed away the little house was sold (which broke my heart) and subsequently had a few owners--- the most recent owner is a single lady and it looked like she really loved the house---then she planted a cottage garden with a lovely white arbor
Finally I got up the nerve to knock on her door----she invited me in and I was thrilled with how much she loves the house--it was in the colder months so the roses were not in bloom but much to my delight she told me the two roses on the arbor are ZEPHIRINE DROUHIN----she gave me a picture and they are beautiful--
I was thrilled---imagine of all the roses she could have picked she preferred Zeffy----
We have become friends and it does my heart good to know she loves the house so much ---Just a little envious ---I never wanted to part with the house----my roots and my father's roots go very deep in that area----I still wish I had stayed in that area except that a huge highway has been built right in the backyard
Just wanted to share this little story about ZD---
I enjoyed reading about your childhood home and your father, Florence. Your father seems like he was a wonderful man and he had a wonderful daughter, in you. It made me so happy to hear the new owner is taking good care of your parents former home and that your favorite rose is growing there. Florence, you are one of the most special people on this forum and I love when people share these kind of experiences on this site. It's people like you, dear Florence and Ingrid that make this forum more personal and touching with what you share.
I know that your visit made just as big an impression on the new owner of your childhood home as it did on you. The fact that she chose to add Zeffy, the rose, to her garden is fate.
We have an old house, and descendants some of the families who once lived here are still in the area. From time to time, I get a knock on the door, or an email, and I meet someone else who has a connection to this place. These acquaintances enrich me more than they know, and they provide a personal bit of history to this old pile of bricks.
It must feel wonderful to know that the home you cherish is loved and cared for so well.
Florence, what a wonderful story. I'm amazed that she planted Zephirine. I miss my childhood home too. My Dad built our house too. I never wanted to leave it. It's like here in some ways, a beautiful hillside setting, a feeling of isolation. I spent many days alone in the hills and garden just as I do now.
What wonderful memories - thanks so much for sharing them! I know exactly what you mean about never wanting to part with your parent's house but so great that you met the new owner and just to know she is caring for the house is a good feeling. Ruth
Your story hit home to me too but my parents lost their house in bankruptcy maybe 4 years ago and they made a concret porch and me and my sister put our hand prints in it and I have been wanting to go and get a mold of it but to scared that I will start crying... I know the people who bought it but its MY home and I want it back :'(
Florence, that little story is, for me, the essence of why many of us grow older roses. They are a living link to the past -- ours, and those who went before us.
It ACHES to be printed in the HRG "Rose Letter," and I hope you'll consider doing that.
Thank you so much for all your kind remarks---Jeri---my father's life would make a very inspiring story--he accomplished more than many people with two good legs--He learned to drive a truck with a special attachment which he invented-had a successful trucking business --he taught himself to play the drums and then had an orchestra to help support his family---very active in local politics an amazing man much admired by all who knew him notice the heavy braces which he had to use all his life----I never heard him complain.
His little orchestra from 1930's-----he is sitting in the middle
notice the leather pads on his knees so he could crawl---
You can see why I'm so proud of him and miss him terribly---
Oh, my, what a story! That definitely WAS the greatest generation, wasn't it! My father was born with a deformed foot, walked with a limp and was in pain most of his life; he ended up as a road contractor in Montana, and had to walk a lot in rough terrain and wilderness areas to look at jobs. I never heard him complain, either...
Oh Florence thank you so much for sharing this heart warming story of your childhood home and your awe inspiring Dad.
You surely remember that pictures you posted of Zephie is what inspired me to give her a try. She is going into her second year here and is 6' tall by 4-5' wide. Sme smells so good. Wish she were blooming right this minute. Cant wait...thank you so much for all you contribute to this forum.
Alida----I have a friend who lives near my old home and several times she told me "I think the lady in your mom's home planted Zeffy on her new arbor---Imagine my shock when that was confirmed-----Igot a big lump in my throat----there are other roses with the same color and to think she picked Zeffy before she even knew me----as Humphrey Bogart would say--" of all the gin joints in the world she walked into mine"-----in case you are too young, that is a quote from Casablanca that just keeps jumping into my brain----
I have a lovely picture she sent me of the roses and house--but I haven't figured out how to transfer it to the Forum----Florence
Zeffy, I love all your stories but this one is the best yet. Your father sounds like a genuinely remarkable man. And the universe must agree, inspiring that nice woman to love the rose ZD and plant it in her garden. The past does echo down to us, doesn't it?
We are fools if we do not live in the present but paupers if we ignore the past.
Rosefolly - may I use that fools/paupers quotation? If you are quoting some other source - do you know it? It has given me an idea for a multi-generational service at my church.
Florence dear, your story touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe that she planted Zephirine almost as though she knew. When my Dad died my mother sold our home on the hill. He built it himself during the depression. I loved that place more than I can tell and never wanted to leave. That was in 1970. I was 19. Now again I live in the beautiful countryside.
Here's another coencidence: My mother's grandfather had an orchestra. He played the violin.
Alida----I think the computer ate my picture--I just requested another copy --I would appreciate it if you could post it----
ogrose---You father also rose above his handicap---you must be so proud----
Jeannie---I'm happy Zeffy is doing so well for you--the fragrance is delicious---
Pam---Only someone who lost a home they loved can understand the feeling----I found a notebook my mother kept---they built the home 1927---lost it in 1929------ they paid rent for a year and then they were to be evicted --- a law was passed to enable them to borrow the money to buy it back (cheaper than when it was built)but My father had to prove he would be able to pay it back -he was walking on crutches at this time----I have the letter he wrote explaining about his truck and his orchestra--(they used to call him the sleeping drummer because he was working two jobs)---no help for the handicapped back in those days--
Pam--I love the violin--it is a beautiful instrument-----I have so many stories about my father---wish I could find a writer who could put it all together--
Thanks for your interest--

PCLinuxOS Releases a Slew of Quarterly Updates
PCLinuxOS is a rolling release distribution, which means users can usually update through the package management rather than perform a fresh install every six months. But a few times a year developers release Quarterly Updates for new users or machines. Recently it was that time again when several varieties of PCLOS saw new releases.
KDE 2010.10 Edition
Starting with the flagship image, PClinuxOS KDE 2010.10 was released featuring Linux 188.8.131.52 BFS kernel, KDE SC 4.5.2, Nvidia and ATI fglrx driver support, proprietary wireless drivers, Firefox 3.6.11, Flash Player plugin 10.1.85.3, The GIMP 2.6.11, and an OpenOffice.org installer. Besides the BFS kernel, several other technologies were used to increase performance as well. These include:
* Prelinking - Applications have been prelinked to provide faster start times.
* KDE apps have debug mode disabled to boost the launching of those applications.
* Nscd - caching name server is preloaded and enabled to provide a faster browsing experience.
* Speedboot - ported from Mandriva makes getting to your desktop faster than ever.
LXDE 2010.10 Version
The "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment" has grown in popularity the last several years because of its extremely low overhead and high performance and expected features like multi-language support and tabbed file browsing. This version of PCLOS brings this and more to your desktop.
This version includes the same hardware support and performance boosters found in the KDE edition minus KDE. You'll find the complete LXDE desktop as well as a customized LXDE Control Center and a nice selection of handy applications. Minimum hardware requirements are x86 processor, 384 MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3 GB of disk space, and a video card capable of 800x600 resolution.
Xfce 2010.10 Version
Xfce is another popular desktop alternative favored because of its light-weight yet full-featured interface. This version of PCLOS features the full Xfce 4.6.2 desktop and a handy selection of software as well as standard PCLOS amenities. Minimum hardware requirements are x86 processor, 384 MB RAM, 3 GB of disk space, and an NVIDIA, ATI, Intel, SiS, Matrox, or VIA video card.
Zen Mini 2010.10
The PCLOS Zen Mini is a minimal Gnome Desktop system with a smattering of applications. It features the same PCLOS tools and utilities as the others and similar minimum requirements, but comes in a 330 MB package.
E-17 2010.10 Edition
"Enlightenment is not just a window manager for Linux/X11 and others, but also a whole suite of libraries to help you create beautiful user interfaces with much less work." This edition features the full E-17 desktop on top of the PCLOS foundation and a nice selection of useful applications. This edition actually comes in two sizes: the Full and Light/Mini. The Full version somes with KDElibs and several KDE applications while the Light version features smaller and GTK apps.
Minimum requirements include a modern Intel or AMD processor, 512 MB minimum RAM, 3 GB disk space, and an NVIDIA, ATI, Intel, SiS, Matrox, or VIA graphic card.
Openbox 2010.10 Edition
"PCLinuxOS 2010.10 Openbox Edition provides a full featured desktop showcasing the small, fast, and fully compliant Openbox Window Manager." Again, it comes with similar software stack and minimum hardware requirements.
PCLinuxOS has a version for just about any machine.

Moving away from Mandriva (sadly)
Following the anticipated demise of Mandriva I moved to Kubuntu on my main machine and Kubuntu with the LXDE desktop on a legacy laptop.
On an Asus eeepC901 I use Lubuntu on the 8GB SSD
I am happy with all systems .....Linux has really come of age.

PCLinuxOS Rocks!
This is about PCLinuxOS NOT Kubuntu. I'm so sick of you *buntu users spamming every article about another distribution.
There is also the gnome
There is also the gnome full-edition:
Nice Gnome theme
Yaa, they reworked the theme. No more Darth Vader black.
Enlightenment E-17 Edition
I installed the new QT e17 edition last Friday. All I could think was, WOW! This is the most complete and well functioning e17 release I have ever seen in my life! I liked the default theme but I added the themes from the repos and was blown away by the fact I could configure everything (gtk and KDE) to match. The default icons are awesome, the best I have ever seen as a matter of fact.
The default applications are fantastic, Clementine was a really nice touch. Absolutely fantastic work!
E17 Edition
I 've tried it live and it really looks awesome.
How stable would this environment be for daily use as a home system?
I'll probably install and try it on for size anyhow. I'm using Mandriva spring KDE now (it's the only major linux distro i was able to 'easily' install) but the recent troubles at mandriva and the issues i have with it, performance wise and some other irks, keep me on the watch for a new distro.
Daily use
The only stability problems I've run into in all my months using PCLOS 2010 seemed to be KDE bugs that appeared almost exclusively when I messed with KDE settings. Of course I've been more of a casual user than a daily user, but I've stuck with it for quite a while and have been satisfied with everything but the occasional KDE bugs which seem to be slowly working themselves out.

text: I've been using a meta-package (built with equivs) to keep a bunch of my co-workers' installations in sync, but I've been having trouble in some cases. It seems as though apt-get *really* likes to install the newest version of a package, even when it could successfully install the specified packages in the Depends line. For example, say I have a package "buildtools", which depends on several other packages: Depends: build-essential, foo (= 2.3.4-5), bar (>> 5.4.3-2), baz This works fine, until I want to install a *older* version of the "buildtools" package which depends on an older version of "foo" ...let's say 2.3.4-4: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: buildtools: Depends: foo (= 2.3.4-4) but 2.3.4-5 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Is there any way to tell APT, "yes, just install the dependencies" ? Originally, I thought this was a bug, but I think it may be a feature request :) Thanks! -- Josh Huber

Larry King Is Confused By Anna Paquin's 'Non-Practicing' Bisexuality
BY Eliel Cruz
July 31 2014 5:27 AM ET
Larry King has interviewed a lot of people, but the renowned talk show host doesn't understand Anna Paquin's bisexuality. While discussing True Blood and her marriage, Paquin had to explain her sexual orientation to King. The awkward exchange between Paquin and King went as follows:
King: "Are you a non-practicing bisexual?"
Paquin: "Well, I am married to my husband and we are happily monogamously married."
King: "But you were bisexual?"
Paquin: "Well, I don't think it's a past-tense thing."
Larry King: "No?"
Paquin: "No. Are you still straight if you are with somebody — if you were to break up with them or if they were to die, it doesn't prevent your sexuality from existing. It doesn't really work like that."
Paquin has been making the media rounds discussing True Blood and her tweets from Pride in which she said she was a "proud married bisexual mother."
"There's people that are going to go to their grave thinking what they think about the LGBT community," Paquin told HuffPost Live. "That's their problem, not mine. And there's people that think that monogamy and bisexuality are mutually exclusive. Again, their problem not mine. The reason I feel like it's important to talk about this stuff is that the more normal and, frankly, mundane and boring this stuff becomes the better it's going to be for everybody who is part of our community."

Sea Day
... big day in Sanya. Today it is cooler, 21degrees and the seas are a little heavier. We don't feel it in the middle where we have our cabin, but felt the vibration when we walked to the front of the ship after breakfast. A relaxing day today. A classical concert this afternoon and a movie before dinner! Finished the day with another delicious dinner and music in the ...
Day 6! Beach, sunburn and chips!
... some extra research into tomorrows long journey and decided to stop at the bus station on the way home to see if we could find a shortcut. There is a ridiculous shortage of taxis in this city, in India they were begging you to get in, here they really aren't bothered. Fnally we arrived at the station to find that no one spoke english, a sweet girl in the queue tried to help as best she could and explained there were no buses to guilin from here. so back to plan a. Yet more trouble ...
Day 6, china is strange but 26 degrees!

... 2 balconies, washing machine and a hot tub! Quick washing on and it's time to explore! As we had printed out a map we thought it would be easy to walk to the beach.

It was dark by the time we came out of the restaurant, people were dancing and singing on the side of the road, looked a bit different.

Hi, so glad to see so many NV people out there!! I had joined this site last year and felt pretty much all alone in my quest to conquer gardening in Vegas!!
Big question: has anyone been able to grow any tall thick running bamboo for privacy (not the small golden bamboo)? I've seen the timber bamboo beautifully growing at the MGM pool area. If they can grow it there, why not us?
I'm sure if MGM can grow it so can you!!
Normally we have more people posting but it''s been really quiet lately....maybe everyone is outside planting,etc in the cooler weather. Who knows? I'm out in Pahrump but I am forever trying gardening out here in the wild, wild (and very hot or cold & windy) West. Learning by making mistakes...what does grow out here (some plants surprised me)..basically raised gardens and containers are the way to grow...and drip systems!!

Raw Umber Glaze
I am getting ready to glaze my kitchen cabinets and would like to use a raw umber glaze, but can't find this already tinted so will have to get the tintable glaze at Lowes. Can anyone give me a paint color that is very close to a raw umber color? I guess I am supposed to tell the paint person what color.. I looked at making this easy and getting Van Dyke Brown but it is a little too dark.
I don't mean to be rude here, bu your post suggests that you have very little basic paint color knowledge or experience with actual paint application or glazing. You need to STOP right now and get more experience before tackling something as difficult to do as kitchen cabinets. It's not rocket fuel formulas, but glazing does involve individual tweaks to traditional paint formulas.
All glaze is basically just clear paint that you tint minimally to use for decorative effects. Raw Umber is one of the primary color tints, not a "color". It's one of the "ingredients" used to create colors in paint. Depending on the paint company, there can be as many as 20 tints that can be dispensed into a base to create a paint color. The base provides the "glue" to make the tints stick to the wall.
When you create your own custom glaze color, you mix tint or an already mixed paint with glaze in varying proportions until you achieve the ratio that works for your particular application. There is no "standard" that any paint store employee will mix for you because it's your own judgement call. A traditional "recipe" has been to use a 3:1 glaze to already mixed paint ratio and that's what I'd suggest as a starting point in your experiments.
You may want to adjust the ratio to a higher or lower number, and you may want to experiment with other tints. It's a trial and error process, and the application and wiping of the glaze is as integral to the look achieved as the ratio or color choice. You will get very different results by just varying one of the variable. If you wipe heavier with a darker glaze, you can end up with a heavier look than if barely wiped a lighter glaze. A brown glaze can go all pinky with some glazes or muddy with others, also depending on the amount applied and wiped.
You need to acquire some yard sale furniture and practice extensively before tackling something like cabinets. There is no "right or wrong" way to glaze something, but it does take a lot of practice to get consistent with the look you are trying to achieve. Learn how to create these effects every time before trying to work on a large project or you will end up with an even more varied "handmade" look that you might not care for. I also suggest visiting your local craft store for the small little bottles of craft paint so that you can create small batches of glaze colors to experiment with. It will be a much cheaper learning experience that way rather than paying for full sized experimental samples.
I recommend going with the small bottles of acrylic glaze at craft stores too. It's cheaper, and you can actually do the whole project with a few tiny bottles. You can buy a few bottles of clear and one each of different browns- "Raw Umber" is a different color depending on brand. Make sure to buy a brand that is not being discontinued.
I practiced on the back side of my molding before doing the front. Start with very little color to glaze ratio and see how you like it. You can always go darker if you want more contrast.
The hardest parts are the inside corners- the glaze is hard to get smooth there and I had trouble with getting double layers of glaze in the corners when I moved from the top to the side. That said, I'm very happy with the results now. Good luck on your project!

Can somebody shed some light on virtual directories in IIS, and why when i try to load a web service project, visual studio prompts me to create virtual directory.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Its probably because in the solution, the project for the web site was added as "Add Existing Web Site" from "Local IIS" or from "Remote Site". The solution is expecting an actual virtual directory to exist. You could remove the project and re-add it, but from the "File System". I think that'll sort you out.
You should not use the Web Site "project" type with web services. Instead, use File->New Project and create a Web Application Project.

Bit of an odd problem here. We're migrating a website to a new software platform. As part of this migration, we must copy files from one Amazon S3 bucket to another. There are hundreds of thousands of files.
We also must use the software we have (phpFox) to do this. Basically a php framework.
The job is broken in to segments that we call using an offset in the URL.
Basically: Copy 10 files and update the database as necessary Increase offset by 10 Rinse, repeat.
The API traffic is light, the load on the server is sub 1%, however, if we open more than two tabs on any one machine to the server, the script begins slowing down proportionally, as if the web server (Apache) is queuing the commands instead of running them in parallel.
We've found that if we open two tabs on many machines, it scales up as expected. In order to either saturate our uplink or put any noticeable load on the server, we need to fill the room with laptops. While comical, this is also highly impractical and generally a pain in the ass. There has gotta be a better way here.
I've tried increasing the max spare processes, and requests per child, etc etc 10 fold and there was no noticeable increase in speed. What are we missing? How do I nicely tell Apache to temporarily let anyone connect as many times as they like and go nuts?

AFER's Chad Griffin Joins HRC-LA to Discuss Prop 8 Case
February 22, 2011 by Tony Wagner, Western Regional Field Director
Chad Griffin, co-founder of the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) was the guest speaker for the kick off of the new season of HRC LA's popular Talkin' Q Politics event at East/West lounge on February 15th in West Hollywood. After a brief overview of AFER's founding and work to fund the legal challenges to overturn the infamous Prop 8 in California, Chad fielded questions from the audience. Although not an attorney himself, Chad nonetheless deftly answered a variety of questions relating to the court challenges to overturn Prop 8 as well as the broader issue of marriage equality in the US. Chad was optimistic that the 9th Circuit appeal would overturn Prop 8. Although whatever the outcome, Chad repeatedly thanked HRC for its continued support for AFER and the court challenge, as well as it's long record of success in fighting for equal rights for all LGBT Americans. Several members of the HRC LA Board of Directors, Board of Governors and local Steering Committee, as well as the evenings hosts, Sue LaVaccare and Ted Holmquist, co-chairs of the LA Political Committee, welcomed new faces and regulars to the evenings program and socializing, which drew over 30 attendees. It was a great start to a new year in LA!

"My 2 year old son LOVES lions, so this card was perfect for his birthday party thank you's. As always, Tiny Prints delivered from a design, quality and price standpoint!"
"This card has just the right amount of charm! The perfect shade of blue coupled with the look of a men's striped tie made my husband say, "Those are great. Can I have one?" If my husband wanted a copy to keep, I figured I had to write a review. I used a suggested font, had my son's full name typed in all lower case (he's about to turn one), and added a cute picture to the back. Because it isn't tied to a specific theme, I can use them for birthday thank yous, Christmas thank yous, and just every day hello's to family members and friends. This card is a keeper, literally! :)"
"I purchased these cards for thank you notes for my newborn. They are perfect for a baby boy! Love the card stock quality and the colors are perfect. You also have many options to choose from for the back design. Highly recommend."
"I can't tell you how adorable these cards are! Made from high quality stationary, the color is true to the picture on the web, and the ordering process was a snap. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you tiny prints!"
"Cards look just as expected from the website. Delivery was prompt. Will be ordering the matching birth announcements when my little baby boy arrives."

The State has created a $10 million reserve fund to reimburse mortgage lenders. The fund would repay the lenders if people who finance clean energy projects through property tax payments default on their loans.
Evan Westrup with Governor Jerry Brown's office says the Federal Housing Finance Agency prohibited mortgage lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from accepting additional liens for homeowners who wished to finance PACE projects.
"The main concern of the Federal Government was around the financial liability and potential cost if these properties fell into foreclosure," says Westrup.
Jonathan Gemma is with Aztec Solar in Sacramento. He says solar companies have lost business because mortgage lenders wouldn't agree to additional liens to repay clean energy projects.
"Now if there is this reserve fund in place was able to ease concerns of that mortgage lender that there is some backing to this," he says, "they would allow the PACE financing to go and this opens up the opportunity to more people to be able to finance energy efficient equipment."
Besides solar panels, eligible equipment under the PACE program includes low-flow toilets, insulation, and energy-efficient light fixtures.
The mortgage loss reserve program will be run by the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority.

I'm not sure what was done to the phone because I upgraded to an S5 and passed this S3 down to my little brother who tried to flash another ROM. It was working fine on one of the stable versions of SlimKit before I got the S5 if that matters.
So my questions:
- Is this considered a soft brick?
- Would flashing stock everything resolve this issue? (reverting back to Stock everything, then reflashing custom ROMs)
- Is there a simpler way to resolve this issue to avoid going back completely to stock?
Thanks for looking everyone.

While we may well be on the road towards VMware becoming the layer of software that talks to the hardware in the data center – removing Microsoft from that role, this is not the end of Windows. If Windows were just an OS, it would be severely threatened VMware insertion into the data center stack. But Windows is not just an OS. Windows is also a market leading applications platform with .NET have a far greater market share and base of developers than vFabric. Windows is also in the process of becoming a PaaS cloud – one that will be living at Microsoft, at thousands of hosting providers, and at probably every enterprise that is a significant Microsoft customer. This incarnation of Windows is at the beginning of its life, not the end.

Browsium Release Candidate available: time to put Internet Explorer Virtualization issues to bed?
• • 0 Comments
Application Virtualization allows users to use potentially conflicting software in the same workspace. Towards the end of 2010 there was a great deal of discussion about the complexity of using application virtualization to finally let corporations end their dealings with the recalcitrant Internet Explorer 6.
In Virtualizing Internet Explorer: Microsoft takes the ball home and goes home we discussed why solving IE6 issues with Application Virtualization is difficult. Then, in December we reported that Browisum had crafted a lifeline and suggested a release date around the end of 2010.
To quote Robert Burns "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley". Still, Browsium have announced the release candidate to their beta testers. With its release is it time to put IE8 compatibility issues to bed?

Ericom welcomes the desktop virtualization year with new release
• • 3 Comments
Ericom has has won the race to deliver the first new product release of the "Year of Desktop Virtualization" with the launch of Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect 5.7.
WebConnect (sorry Ericom, but "PowerTerm WebConnect 5.7″ takes too much space on the page to type out every time) is Ericom's answer to Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, plus or minus a few bells and whistles. On the plus side WebConnect includes mainframe and midrange terminal emulation software to provide access to legacy systems, as well as offering support for mixed environments consisting of servers running Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2 grouped together in a single farm, and manages to do all this with a single product where Citrix still requires two.

Will Scale Out Architectures Revolutionize Virtualization and the Cloud?
• • 2 Comments
Given that vSphere provides significant benefits in terms of cost savings and business agility, those benefits are tied to and constrained by the ability of vSphere to provide backward compatibility with existing legacy enterprise systems. This backward compatibility makes it impossible for vSphere to provide infinite horizontal scalability. Moving to the same architecture as the most highly scaled out public cloud vendors provides for a more radical set of benefits, but at the cost of breaking backward compatibility for many applications.

Application Virtualization or Application Deployment, which one is better? (Part V)

Taking a look at solutions from Citrix, Endeavours Technologies, InstallFree, Microsoft, Spoon, Symantec, UniDesk and VMWare. "Is it a choice between Application Delivery vs Application Virtualization?"
Startup Browsium, is readying a lifeline for enterprise IT organizations that moving to Windows 7 but unable to escape their addiction to Internet Explorer 6. The Washington DC-based startup staffed by ex-Microsoft employees is planning to release UniBrows an add-on for Internet Explorer 8 that lets customers access IE6 dependent web apps from the now defacto standard that is IE 8.

Virtualizing Internet Explorer: Microsoft Takes The Ball and Goes Home
• • 3 Comments
There is great outrage to Microsoft's reluctance to play ball and support virtualization of IE. Without an alternative, the solutions offered by Microsoft are expensive, cumbersome and difficult to maintain. Virtualising the application may well allow different browser versions to co-exist – but the user-experience can be cumbersome with links to other applications not always launching the correct browser and users having to know which browser to choose. Unibrows offers an interesting alternative utilising isolation to support the deployment of different controls and centralisation to allow management and control and importantly wrapped up in what sounds like a very appealing cost.

Application Virtualization or Application Deployment, which one is better? (Part IV)
• • 0 Comments
Application Deployment solutions reduce the cost of delivering applications and help you manage license use? With the end of support for Windows XP happening in 2014 many businesses are moving towards Windows 7 – ideally this inevitable cost is kept low. Application Virtualization can be used on 'traditional' desktops and laptops. Application Virtualization can be used in client side-hypervisors. Application Virtualization extends and increases the efficiencies of desktop virtualization as well as enabling portability and improving compatibility of applications. Application Virtualization can free you, not only from the limitation of having to "install within each device", but lead the way in offering an alternative to "install on only corporate devices". Application Virtualization can be a tool to reduce the complexity and time needed to move from Windows XP to Windows 7, and from future application updates. Indeed, for many companies, Application Virutalization is an option that can be used now by utilising existing license agreements, or for less cost than converting the application to run as a web-based service.
The Freemium sales model is a business model innovation best suited to inexpensive products that are very easily understood (and therefore not very new or very different) and that solve an obvious problem in a manner that is more convenient for the customer to acquire and implement. There are not many new virtualization and cloud technology companies who set out to produce undifferentiated products which suggests that a general application of the Freemium model to startups in our ecosystem is ill advised. Enterprise customers should pay great attention to products that are being marketing in this manner to ensure that they do not end up growing the use of something that was purchased in a tactical manner into a strategic use case.

Reloading is back -- in a big way
Crafting your own ammunition -- the practice is returning in a big way. Faced with ever increasing prices for factory made center-fire cartridges and shotgun shells, hunters and participants in the clay target games are discovering what their forebears learned long ago -- handloading produces the best ammo and is a learning experience. There is a certain feeling of satisfaction in smashing a clay bird or dropping a big whitetail with ammo that you have created yourself.

Modern Warfare 2 blasts all-time entertainment industry records
The controversy caused by leaked scenes of a level of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where the player mows down innocent civilians at a Russian airport has done nothing to slow sales of the much-anticipated game. Released worldwide on November 10, the game has set an all-time entertainment industry record, grossing an estimated US$550 million in its first five days. Read More
Building electric cars will come with its own set of challenges - but then, in other ways things are going to get a whole lot easier. With plenty of battery technology available pretty much off-the-shelf, and electric motors being incredibly simple compared with their combustion counterparts, there's not a lot stopping small, independent operators from building fun electrics and getting them to market as soon as they're approved for sale. And such is the case with the ECOS Harbinger - which truly could foretell a bit of a small-business revolution in electric sportscars. US$89,995 will buy you a 120mph, 150-mile per charge, 6 second electric supercar with Lambo-style looks and scissor doors to boot. Nice! Read More
Light resonators used to move nano-sized objects

Such an advancement could prove very useful for the future of micro-electromechanical (MEMS) and micro-optomechanical (MOMS) systems. Read More
Dubai has The Burj, but Berlin might get The Berg
Hoax or hopeful? Sky high or pie-in-the-sky? German architect Jakob Tigges has unleashed a daring plan to create a man-made mountain in Berlin – not exactly a feature you instantly associate with the German city, but if this "project" gets approval that could change. According to The Berg website, Berliners are getting behind the project as another tourist-attracting (money-making) option for their fair city. Read More

Harnessing waste heat to produce electricity
That heat emanating from your computer as you sit reading this article amounts to nothing more than wasted energy. And your computer is not alone. More than half of the energy consumed worldwide is wasted, most of it in the form of excess heat. But new research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) indicates it might be possible to harvest much of the wasted heat produced by everything from computer processors to car engines and electric powerplants, and convert it into usable electricity. This kind of waste-energy harvesting might lead to mobile phones with double the talk time, laptop computers that can operate twice as long before needing to be plugged in to mains power, or energy plants that produce more electricity for a given amount of fuel.

Media Chair offers iPod dock, speakers, projector – and comfort
Usually, when you envisage a media chair your mind conjures up thoughts of weird (read uncomfortable) pieces of furniture that would be more at home in a museum of modern art than your lounge room. But Martin Emila's Media Chair is something else. Sure, it's a bit "left field" but it's a concept chair that would look pretty good at my place I reckon. It features embedded speakers, an iPod dock, a projector and, above all, looks pretty darn comfortable. Read More

November 2, 1936 - the beginning of television
Although computers and the Internet have eaten away at the dominance of television, it remains the most popular form of entertainment and source of information in the world. And with the line between TV and computers blurring with the advent of Home Theater PCs (HTPCs) and devices like Apple TV it's likely that television in one form or another will retain its crown for some time to come. Television is no longer limited to a big box sitting in the corner of the living room. It can be accessed on sexy, slim panels hung on a wall or on mobile phones while sitting on a train. In fact television is so pervasive today it can be hard to imagine life before it existed – but there was such a time, and it wasn't even that long ago. Read More

Is it time for Retreat deposits?
jackier123August 2, 2014
I am anxious for Retreat! Is it time for deposits yet Jen? I think I really need a few days in the mountains, because I just keep looking at the calendar. LOL
No, Valarie. He had us on the schedule, it's just that they are so busy with summer camps, that the Fall stuff doesn't come onto their radar until August or so.
I think they send contracts out to other groups a lot earlier than they do with us. Because we're not a group of people that physically see/meet together, they handle us differently.

What is luan?
I'm insulating my chicken coop, and have been doing it in stages, since I'm not very good at this. After I get the insulation between the studs, I cover the area with thin plywood. I bought another sheet of it and used it, but now realize, from it's pinkness that it must be that luan stuff. How is luan different from 1/4" plywood? Thanks.
luan is a type of wood, plywood is a type of wood panel, made up of plys or layers of thin wood veneer, glued togather with the grain running across the preceeding layer. Typically luan is made as plywood. Luan is an inexpensive alternative to pine or fir plywood. This is inside correct? Ive not seen luan with exterior glue, made be made but ive not seen it.
Most of the luan I've seen or used isn't plywood, in the strictest sense. As Tom said, plywood is made from multiple layers of thin sheets of wood pressed and glued together with the grain alternating direction. This gives plywood its strength. Luan typically has a solid core material sandwiched between two layers of veneer. I believe the veneer is some species of low grade mahogany. Luan is typically used in interior applications, such as an underlayment for vinyl flooring. It's also used to make hollow core interior doors.
I'm not sure what the core material is. I suspect it is some kind of compressed wood fiber material. I also do not know if the glue is rated for exterior use.
Actually spelled luaun, it is like mahogany in grain and look.
Luaun is often used for thin plywood---1/8" and 1/4".
The link below has an explanation.

Thanks everyone,
Yes, it is for inside use. I bought the first thing I saw that was cheap and looked like plywood. When I got it home, I realized it was really pink and seemed to not be as strong as the other 1/4" plywood that I had bought. It's just to keep the chickens from pecking at the styrofoam insulation, so I guess it will do. The color Pink just looks a little weird in a dirty chicken coop. hahaha Thanks again!
