First of all the project will focus at the interest students in vocational education. These organisations should be supported to develop and to organise entrepreneurial training. Secondly partners should organise training for individuals outside vocational education but interested in entrepreneurship. Stimulation and support is important. Communication has two main goals: Internal communication between and with partners, exchange of information and experience and to get enough information for improvements in the execution of the project. Information about the subject of the started companies and the results or difficulties is required. External communication to spread knowledge and experience to local and regional organisations and other involved or interested entrepreneurial organisations in general or in special sectors. The internal information flow between the partners will be secured by: - e-mail communication, telephone and letters; - agendas and annexes for work meetings; - a steering group which discusses the project information in flyers, brochures and the website; - a web site that provides information about the activities and background information on entrepreneurship; - meeting reports and project results to be published via the website; - to evaluate the project; The external information flow: - focuses at interested bodies, authorities and business organisations on local or regional level - present project progress and results - present products and outcomes of the work; starters will get possibilities to present their business on the project website. The production of a newsletter, to be published via the website is a cheap and quick method to inform interested persons on progress and developments of the project. Starters can present their offers, their experience and invite other starters or entrepreneurs to cooperate. At the start of a project it is difficult to give an inventory of expected outcomes and products especially because it is not well known what initiatives students and other starters will take and what kind of initiatives already have been developed in the partner countries. As much as possible the project website will present available information, modules, related sites and information about the activities of the partners. This will include new initiatives in the business sector, the official situation in partner countries, application of modern technologies, etc. PR and Communication wp2 Page 3 van 19 2 Project aims and objectives Project summary Summary STUDENTSTARTER The project Studentstarter aims to stimulate and to support colleges and students to start a business during the education and to continue this business after graduation. The Leonardo da Vinci program of the European Commission has granted this project for the next 2 years. What about Students, in the end phase of their study, establish a mini-company in order to learn about business and entrepreneurship. In many colleges students end their business just before graduation, often without a study for future feasibility after graduation. This is a pity because student have smart ideas, have many possibilities, are creative and have a lot of perseverance. Graduation should not mean to stop entrepreneurship and find a job; a combination is also possible. Students with proven entrepreneurial characteristics are being stimulated to continue the established company after graduation. There are difficulties for this group of starters in The Netherlands as well as in other European countries. In fact: colleges take care for students and not for started entrepreneurs (after graduating) and support organisations (mainly) support started entrepreneurs (registered by Chamber of Commerce) and not students. The project aims to bridge this gap by stimulating the co-operation between VET and Business support organisation(s). The student should get training and support concerning administration, marketing, acquisition, knowledge of tax rules, governmental regulations for establishing a commercial enterprise, etc. The base for this knowledge and some experience has been educated and trained in the mentioned last part of the study. Co-operation of entrepreneurs and advisers with teaching staffs stimulates the transfer of entrepreneurial knowledge and practical experience and of course new mini-companies. Staff of colleges will also develop their insight in this matter and become better business trainers! Experienced entrepreneurs who get in trouble because of different situations hesitate a long time (much to long!) before asking for support. Presenting this kind of support in early stage can be helpful and effective in later phase. It is aimed in this project to develop a procedure of support for these student starters. We will develop and test how to coach these starters; in such way that the starter will not become dependent of this support, that there is an increase of entrepreneurship, that basic rules and regulations are being discussed with a coach and that decisions are taken by the young entrepreneur. The product to be developed in this project besides the continued student-starters is a procedure of coaching and transfer of information. The (to be) developed procedure(s) PR and Communication wp2 Page 4 van 19 will be tested in the partner colleges, improved and presented to interested bodies in the form of a manual and via the website. Each partner country will gather information, and test, improve and evaluated the information. Procedures and information will be published on the project web site. The reasons for this development are: that the already established companies in many situations easily can be continued after graduation motivation and stimulation of young graduates to create their labour market. the greater part of graduates will find a job and likes this and another group wants to be free, to be responsible, have many ideas and creativeness. The risk of failures can be decreased by education and coaching. Initiators have the meaning that with help, coaching and good advises these students can be helped and that it contributes to create more employment. SME's are great contributors to develop the labour market. In average they employ 6 persons (in NL) and support of development of SME's will mean expanding the labour market and lower unemployment. Need The need and probably adaptation of our point of view will be researched via a European inventory among colleges, universities, organisations. The report will become available via the website.

Communication aims The central point of contact is the co-ordinator and this partner is the best one to maintain a website because all project information is here available. A communication plan will be presented in the 1e work meeting. The objective is to establish an effective information flow inside the project and outside to interested bodies, magazines, papers, etc. Activities 1. co-ordination internal information flow (to inform partners on activities, to present reports of meetings, to contribute to flyers, to develop and maintain the project website as an electronic information platform); 2. development and maintenance of the project website (web management, passwords, links, information platform, reports, etc.); 3. to discuss a communication plan (presentation in kick off meeting); 4. to publish and to distribute via the project web site the reports, manuals, questionnaires, and a final report; 5. to spread information about studentstarters (core activities of the companies, websites, expectations) 6. to produce a reader (handbook or workbook) with information how to start , background, reports, advise and examples) 7. a DVD (information video) with the contribution of training groups in order to show approaches, methods, results; 8. questionnaires for evaluation of the project 9. dissemination project results, reports, manuals, training materials, etc. through the project web site. The aims of the communication plan is to regulate and to stimulate partners to present and to spread their knowledge and experiences gained in this project. Starting entrepreneurs can have profit of this information. Training modules, examples, experience and suggestions how to stimulate entrepreneurship will support these development in education. Brochures, newsletters, modules or manuals and web site are instruments that might support the organisations. The effect of well communicated activities of the project Studentstarter is not always clear. Organisations and colleges often need many years to execute initiatives and to implement changes. Development of guidance and offering training to potential entrepreneurs needs time, information and people need to show their guts. Target groups Students in vocational education Colleges on secondary or higher level are involved to stimulate entrepreneurship among their students. This activity is supported by the aims of the European Commission (Lisbon, Maastricht and other treatments). Employment is strongly influenced by developments in SME and for this reason entrepreneurship is stimulated. PR and Communication wp2 Page 7 van 19 Participants in adult education Besides students in full time vocational education there are many adults interested to take part in courses aiming to establish a business. Elderly people, women, immigrants, and unemployed people are often interested to start a company. These groups often want to invest a lot of time in their entrepreneurial development. Support City Councils and organisations concerned with social security benefits or unemployment benefits are increasingly interested to help their clients to establish a business. It is clear that a percentage of this group will have success and create their own employment. Support as remaining the security benefit for six or nine months is an enormous help and in general profitable for the security funds. Partners will establish cooperation with local organisations in order to stimulate this development, to stimulate entrepreneurship and to increase employment. Partners will have to spread knowledge about this initiative, publish successful starters and have to stimulate activities as a starters pub, a starters club, a Studentstarter Club, etc. in order to support the exchange of starters experiences. For this there are often possibilities to join an existing group of entrepreneurs which stimulates networking! PR and Communication wp2 Page 8 van 19 4. Opportunities and threats The entrepreneurial sector is a difficult sector in which a lot of people earn a living with very different activities. Entrepreneurship is a matter of guts, creativeness, a lot of work, networking and insight in your market. Opportunities governments stimulate entrepreneurship because of the influence on employment and economic development of the city or region. Sometimes starters can make use of financial support as tax exemption, a lower VAT payment, and sometimes investment subsidies; young people has often a lot of creativeness and labour force input. interest of investors to invest money to execute good business plans actual economic growth is stimulating entrepreneurship. National economies are increasing and offer lot of challenges for business developments. Threats to start a business look easy but is difficult; entrepreneurs have to do with a lot of rules and regulations as well as on national level (the law) as on local level. Safety, environment, labour conditions, housing, and marketing are often strictly regulated and limited; overestimation of your market; investments and income. Starters need a budget to get started but also some income in the period before having customers / clients; the long term is often neglected. There is to little attention for insurances, pension, administration and registration, accountancy, etc. Communication and contacts with local entrepreneurs might help to get over these bottlenecks. Partners will have to invite experienced entrepreneurs to present their view, to stimulate their starters to attend information sessions of chambers of commerce, and special organisations, to stimulate to 'employ' a counsellor or mentor. Via brochures, workshops or invitation to take part in a course individuals will be informed and involved in these developments. PR and Communication wp2 Page 9 van 19 5. Means of communication Internal project communication The project partners have an important role in the communication strategy. Internally it is a matter of the group to communicate, to cooperate and to exchange information. Partners have to get acknowledged with each other, trust and confidence have to built up and a period of two years for this rather short. The first work meeting will be used to discuss the workpackages, the role of the partners, the project aims and the partner's aims and possibilities and to stimulate mutual communication and cooperation. The website will be an instrument to spread documents and results; e-mail will be used to communicate directly with and between the partners. Publicity External communication concerns the spread of knowledge and experience to the public, authorities and entrepreneurial bodies (e.g. business clubs). Increase of the involvement of these organisations in the project will be influenced by the information to these organisations about the activities. It is important that partners present addresses of local and regional bodies to the communication partner in order to be able to spread brochures and to invite these bodies to attend a product presentation as a result of the project. Partners will offer articles to newspapers and local magazines, send brochures to key organisations and involve students and interested persons in business activities. Possibilities: Brochures; Articles in newspapers and magazines; Invitations to take part in a course for entrepreneurship or to choose for a special module in the educational program; Information the project website and on partners website; Cooperation with local organisations (city council, employment office, business); Publish the successes Develop learning materials and organisation of courses; activities as 'starters club' 'elevator pitch' and meetings with investors; workshops on entrepreneurship. Workshops and Conferences At the end of the project the group will present their results to the audience. Partners will produce a list of addresses of bodies and individuals to be invited to attend the final conference. Up-to-date information and well organised is a stimulus for interested persons to attend this conference and in before the group will have to do a lot of work. It is important to announce in time this conference and to remind people some months before the conference. Entrepreneurial organisations on a local level often have difficulties to attend conferences on this theme in other countries. Partners will organise a workshop for interested bodies and discuss the process of the development, the aims and the results and interested persons or organisations can be in contact with the partner and get information about modules or results as soon as this is available. Individuals can get information via these workshops about courses, challenges, possibilities of support and cooperation. PR and Communication wp2 Page 10 van 19 6. Organisation The management team in this project meets regular and stimulates partners to communicate with the project management and with the other partners about their initiatives, publicity and starters. The project communication is not only about money and administration but especially about developments, bottlenecks and solutions. It is also aimed at the starters to expand the contacts and sometimes cooperation. The communication flow is coordinated and stimulated by the coordinating partner EEP. Other partners will present their information in order to have an efficient and accurate communication. Regular progress sheets and information about the started students will gathered and presented to all partners in the project. This evaluation of progress (via progress sheets) will be discussed in the partnership during the work meetings. In the soundboard group the brochures, leaflets, programs of meetings and workshops will be discussed before (or after) publishing. Mistakes with dates, addresses or content have to be avoided as much as possible and mistakes on the website have to be improved as soon as possible but partners have also an individual responsibility.

Kino Lorber has acquired all Us rights to Guy Maddin's "The Forbidden Room," planning a Fall theatrical release for the Sundance premiere, which heads to Berlin this week and more fests throughout 2015. Co-directed by Evan Johnson, Maddin's 11th feature-film foray into avant-weirdness stars a top-drawer cast including Mathieu Amalric, Udo Kier, Charlotte Rampling, Geraldine Chaplin, Roy Dupuis, Clara Furey, Louis Negin, Maria de Medeiros, Jacques Nolot, Adèle Haenel, Amira Casar & Elina Löwensohn as a clown car of misfits, thieves and lovers. Inspired in part by American modernist poet John Ashbery and structured like a Russian nesting doll, "Forbidden Room" is the highwire cinematic equivalent to LSD, giddily juggling multiple film stocks and kooky set pieces involving cavemen, wolf-hunters, skeletons, bloodsucking bananas, damsels in distress and the memories of a dead man's mustache. To name a few. The film was produced by Phi Films, Buffalo »

Dreams! Visions! Madness!: Maddin & Johnson's Extravagant Symphony of Silent Cinema Fantasia
Those familiar with the works of auteur Guy Maddin, sometimes referred to as the Canadian David Lynch, know to expect strange hybrids of silence film techniques mixed with zany weirdness that often reflect delightfully perverse and sometimes queer dynamics mixed in with its dashes of visual inventiveness and extreme narrative playfulness. While he still creates a healthy amount of short film projects and is involved with other installations in-between feature films, including several notable unions with actress Isabella Rossellini, who has starred in The Saddest Music in the World (2003), Keyhole (2011) and as narrator of the brilliant Brand Upon the Brain! (2006), his latest has been in gestation over a period of several years, at one point known as Seances and Spiritismes, and it was uncertain whether this would ever be a theatrical release. Known finally as The Forbidden Room, »

One of our most anticipated Sundance 2015 titles is Guy Maddin's latest foray into avant-weirdness, a cinematic hybrid project the Canadian auteur's been cooking up since his docu-fantasia "My Winnipeg" bowed in 2007. The director's 11th film, "The Forbidden Room" stars a top-drawer Euro cast including Mathieu Amalric, Udo Kier, Charlotte Rampling, Geraldine Chaplin, Roy Dupuis, Clara Furey, Louis Negin, Maria de Medeiros, Jacques Nolot, Adèle Haenel, Amira Casar & Elina Löwensohn as "a cavalcade of misfits, thieves and lovers, all joined in the joyful delirium of the kaleidoscopic viewing experience," per the press release of this elusive new movie. Made with the help of American poet John Ashbery, who aided in defining modern poetry in the mid-20th century, "Forbidden Room" premieres at Sundance next week before heading to Berlin in February. Below, check out the "living poster" for the film, which apparently »

How long for potatoes to sprout?
I planted mine a month ago and nothing. I planted yukon gold seed potatoes, how long does it usually take for the sprouts to appear above ground?
Lots of variables but a month is far longer than I have ever experienced. Within 10-14 days is average for me, sometimes earlier depending on weather/rain/planting depth, etc.
I'd carefully dig up one and see what is happening.
Depends on alot of factors. Size of eyes, soil type, temps, depth, etc. Worst case scenario mine took almost a month once, and best case, as was already mentioned under good conditions, a week to 10 days. I got anxious once or twice and carefully probed a little into the soil and you can usually find the sprouts.
I did chit them but the eyes were not long by any means, I would say like 1/4 inch. Soil temp was probably too cold and has been too cold lately for much to happen. Depth was about 5 inches.
I guess I should just be patient? The sprouts I saw on the one I dug up today were white about four inches long and there were about five of them on the potato in all directions. Is this what it should look like? Are those the sprouts that poke up out of the soil and begin to produce leaves?
This is my first time for potatoes so I am not sure what to expect.
The potatoes will produce roots before leaves, so by the time the foliage comes up there is a spider of a plant down there. Most of my potatoes are just up, and yesterday I filled in missing spots.
In some years I have had to replant twice because of cold wet weather or voles. I hold back a few seed potatoes knowing I'll have holes to fill.

Isn't that how you define a successful party?
Mono's female friend and I have been writing back and forth on FB a bit. She responded to something I posted and I took it and ran with it. I have posted a couple of things on her wall that I thought she would like (It has helped to FB stalk her! Who knew it would mean that I know what she likes?!) and she has responded to more things.
FB stalking is fun.
We have reached an end for now I think as she responded to something that I knew a lot of my friends would disagree with and challenge. Sure enough they have and I worry that that will be it. Our politics are vastly different and while I don't care much about that, she might. Where she loves bacon, guns, and zombies, I like vegetarian/vegan food, quotes about love and peace and music. We seemed to of been able to understand each other in relation to recycling stuff creatively and homesteading though. That's something I guess, lol.
OK, don't worry too much. My political views are all over the board, but I have friends and family on both sides to the extreme. If I go by my fb feed, it's pretty well balanced. I have had to have conversations with some and say "I can't agree with you on certain subjects and I hope we can just agree to disagree on these things. While I don't mind voicing my opinion, I'd prefer not to get into a debate." In many cases it works great, although not so much with parents
Re-hashing questions and over thinking about what happened in certain situations. I just can't let stuff go, as hard as I try, I will always re-hash stuff over and over again, letting time pass awkwardly, until there is no chance of getting to the bottom of things.
I do this too and it sucks. Don't have any advice for you, but hugs!

About Our Community
We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do.
This is the promise that the staff at Emeritus at Woodland Manor – and throughout Brookdale Senior Living communities – has shared since 1973, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful – a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our residents who have chosen our senior living community for its active lifestyle.
The Perfect Location
Emeritus at Woodland Manor is located conveniently off the Vestal Parkway. We are close to movies, shopping and many local eateries. However, we are nestled in a beautiful residential area with lots of interesting wildlife to see such as rabbits, deer and birds.
Vestal, a part of the greater Binghamton area, is located in the southwestern corner of Broome County. The Town of Vestal is home to the nationally recognized Binghamton University, a part of the State University of New York. Numerous malls and plazas offer excellent shopping while Vestal's twenty parks and rail trail offer many recreational opportunities. Vestal is close to ski slopes for winter fun and New York's finger lakes for summer recreation. Vestal is conveniently located near three major highways providing easy access and a short driving distance to Scranton, PA; Syracuse, NY; Albany, NY; Rochester, NY; New York City; and Buffalo, NY
A Wonderful Selection
Our community offers 60 senior apartments on one floor for easy access. Our common areas, including our lovely dining room and village sitting areas, give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. Whether dining with friends in the dining room, relaxing with a good book in one of the villages, kicking back and watching TV in the lobby, or just sitting in the gazebo, it give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another and enjoy each other's company.
Strong, Caring Professional Relationships
We nurture strong relationships with area hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation centers such as Good Shepherd Fairview, United Methodist Homes, Susquehanna Nursing Center and Vestal Nursing Center. Through the communications and relationships that we share with key staff within these affiliations, we provide seamless continuum of care for our residents.
Our Staff
Emeritus at Woodland Manor likes to boast about the longevity of our staff and management team. We have a resident assistant who has been with us for over 20 years as well as many other staff who are closing in the 10 year mark.
Our Community Lifestyle
A Wonderful Place to Live
At Emeritus at Woodland Manor we value our residents' opinions and we rely on their feedback to plan activities that they enjoy. Each day is filled with echoes of laughter in the hallways that stem from a calendar of enriching activities. Choices in social, physical, mental, spiritual, cultural and creative activities are encouraged.
Emeritus at Woodland Manor offers a diverse group of activities to peak everyone's interests. We have a daily resident-run exercise program in addition to many other physically and mentally stimulating activities. From bowling, pool and horseshoes to trivia, cards and Bingo, we offer something for everyone. We also offer a wide range of activities each month off site, including trips to movies, shows and sporting events.
Partnering with the Local Community
Emeritus at Woodland Manor is very involved in our community. We help raise money for many different organizations in the area such as the Alzheimer's Association, American Cancer Society and many others. We have also done fundraisers for the Animal Care Council and the Red Cross.
Emeritus at Woodland Manors residents are active members in our community. Our focus is to hold events that add quality and value to the lives of others. A variety of events are held within our community that will nurture the spirit of people of Vestal and to be a resource to them.

9/11 is being repeated in Aurora and Sandy Hook and
in rigged elections and executive orders. It is not just this ONE event but the avalanche of lies and deception that has been unleashed following 9/11.
The reality we are living in today is so surreal and staged, with endless psyop attempts at mind control and lies, it is like walking through the ashes of 9/11 all the time. It fills the air. We can no longer see clearly.
The rulers of this world are not even smart people, They are just crafty like foxes with lots of money and they own the media abuser that tries to keep us all confused. We are all living in an abusive situation; an entire generation raised with this mind ABUSE will not know even the concept of truth and freedom.
However, there will come a breaking point because it is our nature in being human to demand honesty and freedom. We know it in our souls.

Moore out, Hore in doubt for Tests
May 15, 2010
Stephen Moore is assisted after breaking his jaw © Getty Images
Brumbies hooker Stephen Moore is set to miss Australia's early-season Tests and part of the Tri-Nations after breaking his jaw while Hurricanes and All Blacks counterpart Andrew Hore is also under an injury cloud in the wake of Friday's Super 14 action.
Moore was taken to hospital after suffering his injury in a sickening head clash with Crusaders prop Owen Franks as the Brumbies crashed out of play-off contention with a 40-22 loss in Christchurch. The 46-capped hooker will be out of action for up to three months, ruling him out of the Wallabies' June Tests against Fiji, England (twice) and Ireland, and putting him in doubt for Australia's first Tri-Nations match on July 24 against South Africa.
Waratahs hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau, whose side pushed through to the Super 14 play-offs by beating Hore's Hurricanes, has been in imposing form and he will now be an obvious pick at No.2 for Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.
Hore, meanwhile, was taken off with an elbow injury as the Hurricanes also saw their season end. The 43-cap No.2 took heavy contact at a breakdown and reeled away in pain before leaving the field in the 23rd minute.
Centre Conrad Smith's initial assessment was grim: "It must be pretty serious, he wouldn't go off if it was just a niggle."
Hore was set to undergo further assessment on Saturday before returning to Wellington with his team-mates. Smith said Hore's injury, which saw inexperienced replacement Dan Coles thrown in the deep end, was a blow to Hurricanes as they sought to extend their season.
"He's been brilliant all year. When we've been down he's the one to talk, he's the voice, he's been the leader for us all year. It was tough to lose him," his All Black teammate said.
The All Blacks next face Ireland and Wales (twice) in June.

Chlorophytum problem
I need help on my chlorophytum. I bought that plant a month ago. I hang it indoor and water it 3 times a week using tap water. It gets indirect sunlight everyday. Lately, I notice that some of the leaves are ostensibly curly and break horizontally. The tip of the leaves are brown which I read due to using tap water. I enclose some pictures of it. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my spiderplant ? Is it just a normal spiderplant or a sick one? Thanks, I greatly appreciate it.
Here is a link that might be useful: chlorophytum
John, although I suspect that it could do with a little more light your spidey looks fine to me. They have always gotten those brown tips as far as I know, I snip them off at an angle when they bother me. Someone on the Houseplants forum may have different and better advice. HTH

Heaven... Poem by Rosmin Elsa Mohan
I looked in the mirror. Two eyes stared back. One was mine, the other…
It had been a long night, or did it seem so?
I recalled seeing angels dancing, and a light so bright. The heavenly aura that adorned heads and breaths alike. The faces forever seemed blurred behind the misty skies. Divine music filled the air. The insanity of time was no longer felt. It was never an easy ordeal to concentrate; to stray away in thoughts was Herculean though.
At first I thought I had seen a nightmare, but then the night never seemed to end. It felt as though I had traveled back to the beginning of time, the beginning of all things beautiful. The dawn of light which was reproduced by the Word? I think I had started to feel naked. But then the air seemed to chill and I felt wool on me. Was it about to rain? I thought of an oasis. In a moment, the picture became clear.
I was in heaven.
Things now changed. I remember seeing shadows that passed without fear. Some talked, but it was as though they nailed a different tongue. The shadows kept increasing until the light grew bright. Then I saw only white.
The filled air now smelled different. A smell which reminded me of flowers at first, then corpses. It kept on changing until I smelt my skin. For a fact I had nauseated, but sooner I forgot what I smelt.
Even science was in motion. I saw particles colliding and energy liberated. It was so dramatic. But to see energy being annihilated. Or was it developed from one? For a moment it seemed like all laws were violated here; or were they created? I wished I knew. The principles of conservation that were blabbered much in fat textbooks. I felt numb even in the electric air.
For I now knew.
I was in heaven.
I could see no sky; no ground, nor me.I wondered what I looked like to the other moving whites around me. Perhaps, they too had a different story. Neither the sky or grounds were barriers at this point of time, nor could have vacuum beat this pressure. My thoughts were fast revolving around an unseen force.
But then, I felt it.
I was in heaven.
It was now. Present.
What mattered now was all what I was.
Looking in the mirror, I saw two eyes staring back. The other now seemed familiar. I had seen those in intense light. The eye of time which reminded me of my role on this planet. The never ending search for utopia amidst a rat race with eyes so blind. Expectations that killed the ruins of the ruined. I looked out of my window. I saw fields bathed in green. The air I inhaled made me feel divine. Nature's miracles which gave me no second thoughts.
Here I was.
In Heaven.

Hey, I wasn't aware of this "fillable=1 feature" as a workaround. (The fillable feature is originally designed for something else, namely to properly handle the case, when a histogram is cut by the graph boundaries. While you don't want to stroke along the graph boundaries, you need those path parts for filling. See the functional test http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pyx/pyx/test/functional/test_histogram.py?view=markup for some examples.) Beside that I think the merging of the bins clearly is a bug. I've found it myself recently when I played around with the histogramdata data provider.

How to clean pet residue/stains on old hardwoods under carpet
I pulled up some carpet in our two upstairs bedrooms and could use some advice. The house was built in '61 so the floors are old oak. I removed the old carpet, tack strips, and carpet pad, and while one room is in relativly good shape (needs a good cleaning) the other has what appears to be pet stains that soaked through to the hardwoods. I'm trying to figure out how do to the following so I don't have to refinish:
1. Remove crystalline residue near old transition, appears to be dried pet urine. Tried swifer hardwood floor cleaner to no avail.
2. "clean" black stains on hardwood that appear to be old liquid (possibly pet) stains that had soaked through carpet.
3. Reduce visible scratches/holes caused by lame carpet installers who put staples in the pad every few inches, some of which not only left holes but left scratches.
I know this is a lot, but really what I'm looking for is a good hardcore cleaner that will remove everything except the polyurethane and something else that might help "hide" scratch marks, etc. I'm not holding out hope for the black stains, but someone I know recommended bleaching them, which I've never heard of.
Please help!
Older pet stains may have seeped into the wood and the sub- flooring, which means you need to sand the wood to find out the extent of the damage. Sand the stained hardwood flooring until you reach a point that is not stained or if you find the stain is too deep. If the stain is deeper than the surface you will have to remove that section of flooring. You may have to redo the entire hardwood floor depending on the extent of the damage. When a stain has been left for several years the urine may seep into the sub- flooring or at least the odor. Sometimes commercial bleach can remove the stain and odor from old pet stains, however it is a very sensitive solution and you need to have proper gloves and training. If you have to sand the floor you will want to resurface the area with shellac based primer.
I'll try to sand a small portion to see how deep the stains go. Refinishing the floor is not an option right now, we just moved in and can't afford it. If I sand and or bleach the stains away how do I match the remaining surface (or at least get close)?
Do you have any suggestion on a good cleaner for the other residue?
Here is how I have dealt with a similar situation. The POs were covering up damage on oak hardwoods with area rugs. I am guessing that in addition to their petÂs accidents, they shampooed the area rug in place which further damaged the floors. We found out about the damage two hours before closing on the house during the final walk-through.
This is a very temporary solution and is not the correct way to fix the damage; the experts on this board can advise you how to do that. Wash the floor on your hands and knees (or sitting on the floor using a small amount of water, MurphyÂs oil soap, scrub brushes, scrubbies, and old terry towels- whatever it takes to clean the floor. Do a small section at a time, and rinse with clear water using a clean towel and dry each section thoroughly as you go along. Be careful with the waterÂdonÂt pour it onÂyou donÂt want to cause more damage than is already there. This will take a long time as you will be crawling around the floor. With a damp sponge mop using water and vinegar, rinse again. Remember while you need the water to clean the floor, water also damages the floor. DonÂt let pooling water sit on the floor. Dry it with a towel.
On the stains you can try several things to at least lighten the color of the damaged spots. I used a combo of lightly sanding and household bleach. The stains have not disappeared, but they are lighter and cleaner. Wait till the next day or several hours to be sure the floor is completely dry and temporarily fill in the spots where the poly is gone due to damage of pet stains, water and sanding/bleaching by judiciously using a small amount of wipe-on-poly. Wipe-on-poly is for furniture and is not recommended for floors, but a small amount can fill in and blend the areas where the floor poly is completely gone. After the poly is completely dry, use a shine product. I used Holloway House Quick Shine for about $9.00 (Orange Glow does not work). I have added a few throw rugs and the floor looks about 50% better and will get me buy until I can have the floors refinished.
The Swifter will ruin your floors .
Orange Glow will Pit the finish .
You can pick up a jar of matching hardwood putty at HD for $2.50 and rub it into the staple holes .
If you don't have a lot of pet damaged boards and you have some left over you can do a few board replacements .
As a cleaner i tell all my customers to use Bona , or once and done made by Ardex .
I just went through this and will probably have to pay to refinish. I posted the same question here, if you do a search you should find it.
I replaced the 5 boards which were damaged after trying to sand the stain away. I had two pet stains which soaked all the way through the wood. I sanded and sanded and the stain got lighter, but still showed. Then I tried to stain the sanded part to match the rest of the floor and it didn't match. I made such a mess, I gave up. I then replaced the boards and tried to match those to the rest and that didn't work. The new wood took the stain and was much darker. Tried poly and now I have a shiny, dark section.
I'm putting my house on the market and will have to pay to refinish the whole floor.
Good luck, hopefully you'll have better luck than I did.
For what its worth, here is a link I had saved hoping to find what did work. We'll never know because he disappeared mid job, but it contains lots of info.
I've got the same problem in my LR right in front of front door but its still under installed carpeting. Good luck to you.

An Exacting day tomorrow
Our son had a bladder infection, went to the Urologist for a bladder scope, everything okay now. However-----as the son is laying on the table, he told the DR. how when he lays down in bed after being up all day he looks like he is 6 months PG. His stomach just sticks straight up in the air. So Dr. pushes on one side of the tummy, and then the other. Turns out the tummy makes waves? Just like it was a pan of water you tilted to one side and the other.
So tomorrow, Tues, Son has to have a cat-scan with contrast of his insides. Oh What Fun!!
We checked with the place doing the c-scan before we came home last week, just to be sure he could be lifted on the table, remember he cannot move. So this will be an experience he does not want, but has to have. Plus they say first c-scan no contrast, then he has to drink something and after about 30 min. back to the scan table. Him and I are not happy, but we have to find if there is a problem.
A bit irrating that most of the medical community is not set up to handle patients like our son, that cannot move by themselves.
Jeannine, so sorry to hear about your son and the day you're going to have today: it's so taxing on everyone, isn't it? I'm surprised those facilities don't have a Stryker lift or something like that to lift patients; I never thought about this until I read your post: I don't know how we could possibly lift my Mom onto an x-ray table in her frail condition! Something else to worry about...;-)
I hope everything goes well today and that a reason is found for your son's tummy problem. Thank heavens they've been so swift in addressing it!
No results, but I must give a big hand to the folks at this Image office. They could not have been nicer or more understanding of Michaels condition and worked with it, not against it.
Turns out he drank some contrast prior to all the CTScans, and then the 2 male techs, good to have around, lifted him on the table with no problem. Know Why???
The CT table goes up and down, neat, they lowered it to his wheelchair seat height and just lifted and slid him over. No problems.
I had warned them his legs jump like crazy when laying flat, so they put a triangle piece of Pillow under his knees and no jumping!!!
One tech even stayed in the room, wearing one of those aprons, just to be with him when they did the iv contrast. I wish all places were this accomodating.
Hi Jeannine, boy you sure had one heck of a day. you are so lucky that there were tecks there to help out. i remember al had to have some x-rays at the clinic where is doctor was, the woman there flat out refused to help him on the xray table, she said there is no way i'm helping you out, if you can't lift him yourself, then i suggest you go to one of the hospitals where they might have someone to help you. also, al needs to have another cateract done on his other eye, but you have to lay flat down, that doctor said, let me know when you can lay perfectly flat on your back and then we can schedule the surgery then. ever weird, al's "legs" such as they are jump like crazy as well. it's so nice to see that there are afew people out there that are not there for their paycheque. debbie
A bit of a funny to laugh with-------When we went to the Urologist it had been over 4 years so they had us do all that paper work, whats wrong, what meds, etc. The last question section was "How do you feel" The first question was---"Is there anything you would like to change?" Michael and I laughed so hard, he is saying "no I want to be a quad------I love being in a wheelchair!!!" The receptionist even looked over to see what was so funny.

I booked this on Booking.com for my family with kids for 3 nights. This great hotel exceeded all expectations. We had a spacious suite facing the Duomo and piazza. We could walk everywhere and took the train from the station which is right near the hotel. Restaurants were close. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The rooftop pool area was magical with outrageous stunning views of Florence and the sunset. We were there every evening following our sightseeing and the kids loved it. We tried their tapas and drinks and they were open until midnight. What a unique, fantastic way to stay with children. Rooms and bathroom were clean an comfortable. Highly recommend this gem. Note there is a line in Rick Steves guidebook about the square of Santa Maria Novella having drug addicts - reality is it could not be more family friendly with our kids there in evening without any evidence of this. Finally, prices were very reasonable.

Even with a full shield facing and Tactcal Team , if your shield resists are low and your defense rating is low (ie stopped by a tractor beam) and your hull resists have been debuffed extremely low, it is still possible for a Beam Overload 3 crit to blow through those shields and hull. Tactical Team rebalances shields after the damage is applied.
For example say, you have no shields left on your right facing and someone hits you with a torpedo. Your hull will take full damage from that torpedo before the auto shield rebalancing takes into effect.
