Installing an Enterprise License
MuleSoft makes available trial versions of its Enterprise Edition runtime for the purpose of evaluation. Though perfect for exploring the myriad uses of Mule ESB, Anypoint Studio and Mule Management Console, the trial license for Enterprise limits usage of the runtime. Complete the following steps to acquire and install an Enterprise license, then begin using Mule ESB runtime in a production environment.
- Contact MuleSoft to acquire an Enterprise license in the form of a
file. - If you are installing your license on multiple platforms, back up your new
file in another location before proceeding. - Open the terminal or command line on your system.
- On Mac/Unix/Linux, from the
directory, run the following command:mule -installLicense ~/license.lic
On Windows, first copy thelicense.lic
file into the \bin folder, then execute the following in the command line:mule -installLicense license.lic
Mule removes the trial license and replaces it with the enterprise edition license. In the
directory, Mule saves a new file calledmuleLicenseKey.lic
Verify or Remove Enterprise Edition License
To verify that Mule successfully installed your Enterprise license, run the following command:
mule -verifyLicense
To uninstall a previously installed license, run the following command:
mule -unInstallLicense
Install Enterprise License on Embedded Mule Server
Though not recommended for production environments, you have the option of installing an Enterprise license on the embedded Mule Server that comes bundled with Mule ESB with Studio.
- Download and install Mule ESB with Mule Management Console and Enterprise Edition runtime.
- Contact MuleSoft to acquire an Enterprise Edition license in the form of a
file. - Complete the steps outlined above to install the new license on your Mule ESB standalone runtime.
- From the
directory, copy the new license file that Mule stored:muleLicenseKey.lic
Paste the
file into the classpath of your embedded application in Mule.
Install Product Licenses
To use the SAP Connector and High Availability Clustering, you must first acquire, then install a product license. Contact MuleSoft to acquire a license for one of the above products.
The MuleSoft Enterprise Maven customer repository allows you to access Mule Enterprise modules, connectors, and other components not included in the trial or community versions. See Configuring Maven to Work with Mule ESB for details. |

Ottawa mishandled mad-cow crisis Thursday, November 25, 2004 The federal government's response to last year's mad-cow crisis was plagued by poor planning, staffing problems and inadequate information-sharing, according to an internal review obtained by The Vancouver Sun. While the review concludes that none of those problems affected the government's investigation of the infected Alberta cow discovered in May, 2003, it warns they likely would have if the crisis had got any worse. "If the emergency had been more complex, or if it had had a higher potential risk to human health, the agency would not have been ready to scale up to a higher level of response immediately," the review states. The review, completed for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Dec. 10, 2003 by an outside consultant, warned that if the CFIA didn't take steps to fix some of the problems identified, they "could undermine CFIA's ability to respond to more complex or time-critical emergencies" -- raising questions about the agency's handling of last spring's avian-flu outbreak in the Fraser Valley. The CFIA BSE Emergency Response Assessment Report, obtained by The Sun under the Access to Information Act, was written several months after the cow infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy was discovered in Alberta, but before an Alberta-born cow with BSE was discovered in Washington state in late-December. The assessment concludes that, in general, the CFIA's response to the BSE crisis was a success. But it highlights several areas of concern: - While the CFIA had declared an agency-wide emergency to respond to the BSE crisis, it did a poor job of communicating that -- even to its own staff. As a result, several months after the emergency response, many staff believed that an emergency had not been declared. - Dr. Brian Evans, the CFIA's chief veterinary officer, was designated as the agency's spokesman on BSE, despite a standing policy not to assign spokesperson duties to someone with critical responsibilities. "As a result, some key activities were not taken or were not completed on time," the review states. - In the early days of the crisis, the only way for CFIA staff to get reliable information was to attend meetings or conference calls. "Since meetings were the most reliable source of information in the earliest days of the emergency response, so many people were attending the meetings that effective decision-making at the meetings was not possible," the review concludes. - The startup of an emergency operations centre in Ottawa to handle the BSE crisis was delayed, leading to confusion in procedures for obtaining decisions and in communicating decisions to those who needed them. - The emergency operations centre itself had poor air quality and an unreliable power source that caused computers to fail, making it necessary to use other facilities to meet the deadline for preparing a briefing package. - There was no plan in place to provide backup staffing. "Primary response participants were exhausted by the end of the response period and a longer response could not have been sustained with the same staff," the report states. In general, the report concluded, problems with communications and information-sharing meant that "time that should have been spent focusing on the emergency response was spent on developing communications procedures and tools instead." The report makes 23 recommendations, including upgrading emergency operations facilities and rotating emergency response staff. Harry Gardiner, an official in the CFIA's office of emergency management, said he couldn't say how many of those recommendations have been acted upon by the agency. He said more details on the agency's response to the report won't be made available until a final, public report on the CFIA's handling of the crisis is made public later this year. The CFIA is still conducting a review of its handling of this spring's avian flu outbreak in the Fraser Valley. However, there are already signs that similar problems of disorganization and poor communication may have surfaced in its response to that crisis. An e-mail sent from B.C.'s deputy agriculture minister Rory McAlpine to CFIA president Dick Fadden last April indicates B.C. had several concerns with the federal agency's handling of avian flu. "I need to confidentially flag a few operation issues," McAlpine wrote in the e-mail, obtained by The Sun this month under the Access to Information Act. The e-mail went on to note several concerns, including a lack of information from the agency. "Neither we nor industry is getting a daily situation report from CFIA to confirm new positives, status of flock depopulations, etc.," McAlpine wrote. "In absence of this rumours [mostly false] churn constantly." The e-mail also noted that "for several days industry, our CDC [centre for disease control], municipal authorities and private vets have been asking what is the sample rate/confidence levels to establish whether a flock is AI [avian influenza] negative. Still no answers." McAlpine warned Fadden that "decisive leadership is still not evident on the ground" and that "the tremendous goodwill and support that industry has shown ... is rapidly evaporating." McAlpine isn't the only one who has expressed concern about the CFIA's handling of the avian flu crisis. In an interview with The Sun in August, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said breaches in biosecurity -- such as workers improperly trained on safety procedures -- raised the risk of possible human infection. "Initially, in trying to deal with the outbreak, I'm not sure that we were using as much of the protection as ... we could have been," said Kendall. The Sun also reported in August that an internal report written by an infectious disease expert with Health Canada warned that poor training and delays in disposing of dead birds during the avian flu outbreak increased the risk of human infection. "At an on-site visit to an affected farm on Friday, April 9, I observed fluids leaking from the boxes containing the chicken carcasses with flies swarming around the fluids on the ground in the farmyard," wrote infection control nurse Linda Kingsbury. "An assessment of the risk of transmission to humans of the avian influenza virus and other pathogens due to the delay in disposal of a large amount of dead and decaying chickens should be carried out." email@example.com KEY PROBLEMS: An internal review of the federal government's handling of last year's mad-cow crisis identified several problems, including: Inspection agency declared an agency-wide emergency - but many of its own staff weren't informed of it. Agency's chief spokesman was also a senior veterinarian with other key responsibilities to juggle. When staff should have been responding to the emergency, they were developing communications procedures and tools instead. Ran with fact box "Key Problems", which has been appended tothe end of the story. http://www.canada.com/components/printstory/printstory4.aspx?id=a0591504-2291-439b-a66d-b7001c292e26 TSS

Operation SD (demo)
Mar 28, 2012 Demo 1 commentPress "read more" for instructions on how to play the game.
Set in the year SE 3256, the player is thrust into mankind's first interplanetary war between the Earth Alliance and the Ares Confederation. As the promising captain of the experimental dreadnought prototype, codenamed Sierra. Your sole objective is to help turn the tides of the war, utilizing the ship's advanced combat systems, flexible energy allocation and optimized platform deployment capabilities. To the captain, the core principles of prudence, guile, resource management and patience are essential to survival. The technology incorporated in Sierra allows it to explore multiple paths to victory: evade and assault enemy ships in classic broadside warfare; research armaments and upgrades to outgun the enemy fleet; or outnumber them with remotely-controlled weapon platforms. Rout the enemy's armada in order to quell the rebellion and save Earth from the corrupt colonials.
2 comments by Kalus on Jan 21st, 2014
So here we present to you, the build that you've been waiting for: It is now designed to let you play the game continuously and is now a lot easier to understand how Sierra Ops is played - hopefully!

my mission progress wasnt saved however my ship was, any explanation?
Sorry about that, thanks for pointing it out. I can't believe I let such an obvious bug slipped up. I'll have this fix as soon as possible.
Update: Sorry for the delay. The patch is up now, it should fix the stage data from not saving properly.
Is this still in development? As in, content patches and/or expansions coming up?
This game is going to be as is. We're planning sequels, though.
I feel like there should be Mecha in this game, lol. I think it's the music from the video, and how the game looks. Gundams? lol
looks good, I might get it.
VEry consistant artwork! Like the music too. reminds me of an old Konami SNES game.
Only suggestion so far would be animating the chat avitars
Thanks, we'll keep that suggestion in mind.
I'd also like to see animated chat avatars. give the game more of a Star Fox feel to it.
I knew I should have insisted on that. hahaha XD We'll definitely put that feature next time.

Awesome! Maybe there's not going to be any other database corruption (not that I experienced any...but I know it's an issue if you don't tag the mp3 correctly).
Shame for the limit of files...no upgrade....oh well...I'm thankful for the new fw.

can anyone tell me whether or not it's worth it to apply this upgrade? i assume there's an equivalent firmware 3.59, since i upgraded from 2.57 to 3.57 a couple of months ago. it just seems like a lot of trouble, copying all my files on the pc and then trying to follow those wyrd (worse than weird) instructions they posted. and then copying all the files back on the D2.
and all for what? i don't use ogg, i don't really care if id3-tags are shown properly, i've never tried the lyrics function, and the only problem i've had with the M-button so far were always me accidentally pressing it inside my jacket, when i tried to skip a song.

I installed 2.59, OGG ordering seems ok.
Then i did tried this: removed my SDHC 32 gb and reinserted it. The result was a long list of unknown artsist/song. Restarted the D2 a couple of times and now everyuthing seems ok, but i've to do more tests. |

Windies not taking Ireland lightly says Sammy
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC– Captain Darren Sammy says West Indies would not be taking Ireland lightly despite the underdog status of the visitors ahead of their three-match series at Sabina Park.
The two teams arrived in Jamaica on Sunday and are slated to face off in two Twenty20 Internationals and a one-off one-day international.
"As a West Indian team we always respect our opponents, no matter what," said Sammy.
"The Irish have not done well in the just-concluded NAGICO Super50, but no doubt we won't be underestimating them as that could be a recipe for failure".
The series, one of two before West Indies depart next month to defend their ICC World Twenty20 title in Bangladesh, is set to bowl off tomorrow with the Twenty20s. The second is set for Friday.
The two teams are due to meet in the One Day International (ODI) on Sunday.
"We will just have to go out there, keep our focus and try to execute as best as we can." Said Sammy.
Ireland coach, Phil Simmons, in the meanwhile, says while his team will enter the series as rank outsiders, they will be putting their best foot forward.
"The expectation when we go anywhere is to try and win and play good cricket," said Simmons, a former West Indies cricketer.
"We are going to try and be on top of our game at all times and if they (West Indies) slip up then we'll try and pull in."

Former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash performed the national anthem prior to the home opener between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center on October 29, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Check out photos from Getty Images. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below.
Slash left GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s, forming SLASH'S SNAKEPIT before later assembling VELVET REVOLVER with several other ex-members of GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland. VELVET REVOLVER is currently searching for a replacement for Weiland, who was dismissed last April. Slash told Billboard.com on October 24 that the band has been approached by some well-known names, saying, "There's been a couple that might have been interesting, but...it's really hard to make something sound original if you've got somebody people are so familiar with hearing somewhere else." The guitarist is also working on a solo album, on which he plans to have several high-profile vocalists take turns singing.SLASH Performs National Anthem At LAKERS Vs. CLIPPERS Game; Video Footage, Photos Available

Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley: I Never Said Pacquiao Was Using Steroids
Former three division champion Shane Mosley is not happy with some of the internet reports regarding some tweets that he made on Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino WBO welterweight champion won a one-sided twelve round decision over Mosley on May 7th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mosley said there are reporters who twisted his words to create controversy. He sent a statement to Yahoo Sports, clearing the air on the subject. He says "Pacquiao was the better man" and he defending him in the past when others made allegations of steroid use.

Preston Middle School Students use Presente3D to further their STEM Education through 3D
Middle school students from Preston Middle School in Fort Collins, Colorado are using Presente3D, stereoscopic 3D-add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint, in the classroom for advancement of STEM Education by incorporating 3D into every day education. The students, a mix of 6th, 7th and 8th graders, were able to easily create 3D stereoscopic presentations with Presente3D's add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint.
Toms River, NJ (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
At Preston Middle School, located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, they challenge their students to participate in something called the Grand Challenge. The Grand Challenge asks every kid to propose a solution to a global problem. A special class was formed around three main topics: student led professional development, the Grand Challenge, and utilizing 3D technology.
Presente3D was chosen as the software of choice for creating 3D content because of its ease of use and it´s integration directly into Microsoft PowerPoint. The students who were a mix of 6th, 7th and 8th graders were very familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint but, lacked the knowledge on how to create 3D stereoscopic content. Presente3D´s easy to use interface allowed the students to quickly start creating eye popping 3D presentations. They could quickly and easily adjust pop-out/pop-in effects for any object on a slide and adjust its thickness.
No special hardware was required for the classroom since the 3D presentations could be viewed on their own classroom PC´s using anaglyph 3D glasses. The final 3D presentations were delivered to the schools faculty and parents on a 3D-enabled projector.
"Feedback from our student´s parents are that their kids are truly excited about what they are developing and are freely sharing their learnings with them. This is a huge engagement factor for middle school students" Amy Schmer, Dean of Students
Many students gave up lunch and PE periods to have extended learning time with Presente3D and the 3D classroom. These same students are requesting to have another in-depth class on 3D while other kids in the school are wondering when they can take the class.
"It´s amazing to see what these students have produced in one semester. By showing their willingness to give up their lunch, gym and even stay after school just to work on their 3D presentations shows the impact 3D and Presente3D can make on learning. " Dennis Cafiero, Founder of Presente3D
Educators who are interested in learning more about Presente3D and how it can be used in your classroom can visit their education website at http://www.presente3d.com/3d-in-education.html.
About Presente3D
Presente3D, is an affordable and easy to use 3D add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint that allows users with no or little knowledge of 3D to create 3D presentations from their existing 2D presentations. Presente3D provides support for 3D display technology ranging from 3DTV´s, 3D-enabled projectors, auto-stereo displays and new 3D tablet devices. The technology foundation for developing 3D presentations was to give users the ability to use their existing PowerPoint presentations and transform them into 3D in minutes. The resulting presentation can then be easily viewed on any 3D display available on the market. Integration directly into Microsoft PowerPoint allows organizations large and small the ability to more effectively visually communicate, collaborate and accelerate knowledge transfer with a software package that they are already familiar with.

Thank you!
Model Number: GSD5330D00W Brand: GE Age: More than 10 years
My GE Triton III began flashing the "normal" wash cycle light and beeping. After reading all the suggested fix solutions on this forum I took a chance and order the 'sequence cycle' part...not really sure what it's called. I placed my order through Appliance Parts Pros and received it 2 days later. (wow) But the biggest WOW is that my dishwasher is now working. A big thank you to everyone!!!! Related Models |

: atranorin in upper cortex.
Substrate and ecology
: growing on trees and branches in fairly open situations, probably introduced by man
World distribution
: widely distributed in temperate and boreal areas in all continents but more common at higher latitude up to 65ºN and 60ºS
Sonoran distribution
: relatively frequent in upper montane forests of Arizona and coastal southern California and Baja California.
: The species is easy to recognize by the cilia on the lobe margin and the helmet shaped soralia. In the Sonoran Region P. adscendens might be difficult to separate from some phenotypes of Heterodermia erinacea, and it is then necessary to study the upper cortex, which is prosoplectenchymatous in the latter. Physcia adscendens differs from P. tenellula in several aspects. The latter is much smaller and has a different type of soralia and hairs on the upper surface.

As with any genuine sports car, the Macan is equipped with wider tires at the rear – just like the 911. The visual impact is not the only effect: the larger footprint at the rear improves both stability and traction and also enhances agility for intensified contact with the road.
For the wheels, too, everything revolves around sporty performance – and style. Accordingly, the Macan serves up some impressive numbers: the wheels look exceptionally large, with optional sizes up to 21 inches.
What they all have in common is their aluminum construction, which saves weight and increases agility. That's particularly true of the forged 21-inch wheels.
The Macan S is equipped, as standard, with 19-inch Macan Design wheels. The Macan Turbo is fitted with 19-inch Macan Turbo wheels as standard.
All tires have been optimized for driving performance, handling, rolling resistance and weight. The rubber compound, tread pattern and the carcass architecture have been designed for the least rolling resistance possible in order to reduce fuel consumption.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sends warnings to the on-board computer's display screen in the event of low tire pressure or a gradual or sudden loss of pressure. The multifunction display in the instrument cluster gives you a quick and convenient way to check your tire pressures.

California and national wetland habitats shrink annually at an alarming rate. The 48 contiguous states have a dwindling 100 million acres of wetlands. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that up to 43% of the nation's 1,262 threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands for their survival.
Wetlands are unique biologic communities characterized by both aquatic and terrestrial features. Plants and animals that inhabit wetlands have successfully evolved morphological and physiological adaptations to the presence of high levels of salt and periodic inundation and desiccation, as well as to low concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the water- logged soils and exposure to alternating salt and fresh water. Many wetland inhabitants, including salt marsh plants and some water birds are able to excrete the excessive amounts of salt that are absorbed or ingested.
While the debate still rages (big bucks discussion) as to what constitutes a wetlands, a Supreme Court ruling in late August 2006 made a determination as to what a wetland is. Two groups of Michigan land owners asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down federal rules that protect almost half of the nation's streams and wetlands from pollution and bulldozer. Protections for wetlands miles away from waterways was extended in the Clean Water Act of 1972.
In California, wetlands are commonly classified according to the length of time that an area is inundated or saturated by water or the types of plants and animals an area supports. Five major wetland classifications: marine, estuarine, lacustrine, riverine, and palustrine. Marine and estuarine wetlands are associated with the ocean and include coastal wetlands, such as tidal marshes. Lacustrine wetlands are associated with lakes, while riverine wetlands are found along rivers and streams. Palustrine wetlands may be isolated or connected wet areas and include marshes, swamps, and bogs.
Most of California's coastal wetlands are estuarine salt marshes with associated tidal channels and mudflats.
Estuaries are formed where freshwater streams meet the sea, and contain variably brackish water. Salt marshes develop along the shores of protected estuarine bays and river mouths, as well as in more marine-dominated bays and lagoons. Wetlands that are less common along the California coast are freshwater marshes, riparian wetlands, bogs, and vernal pools. Freshwater marshes, like salt water marshes, are vegetated mostly with herbaceous plants, predominantly cattails, sedges, and rushes.
Freshwater marshes have mineral soils that are less fertile than those of salt marshes, and exhibit a greater variety of plant species than salt marshes. Riparian wetlands, which occur on the banks of steams, rivers, and lakes, commonly feature woody vegetation.
Studies of California wetlands and wetlands mitigation have provided some insights into efforts into creating wetlands of equal value to those lost to development.

Overview of content related to 'open archives initiative'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'open archives initiative'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) is an attempt to build a "low-barrier interoperability framework" for archives (institutional repositories) containing digital content (digital libraries). It allows people (Service Providers) to harvest metadata (from Data Providers). This metadata is used to provide "value-added services", often by combining different data sets. Initially, the initiative has been involved in the development of a technological framework and interoperability standards specifically for enhancing access to e-print archives, in order to increase the availability of scholarly communication; OAI is, therefore, closely related to the Open access publishing movement. However, the developed technology and standards are applicable in a much broader domain than scholarly publishing alone. The OAI technical infrastructure, specified in the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), currently in version 2.0, defines a mechanism for data providers to expose their metadata. This protocol mandates that individual archives map their metadata to the Dublin Core, a simple and common metadata set for this purpose. In other words, the relation of OAI compatibility to Dublin Core is that OAI standards allow a common way to provide content, and part of those standards is that the content has metadata that describes the items in Dublin Core format. OAI has recently begun work on the Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) project which defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources.

All we know for sure is, one of the 4 will not make it to camp.
That is all cool as far as the perception of each of the fans.
I prefer to take OB's words.
Perhaps he has seen enough to make his evaluation.
Perhaps he wants to wait until the end of this week.
Perhaps he wants to wait until after next week's mini camp.
Also - and this has nothing to do with your post - from what I gather, what Chan Gailey ran at Georgia Tech the year OB was there was a spread offense, or in another word, the concept of putting players in space.
Mostly the targets were RBs and the quick receivers that can gain yards after the catch.
He brought that concept to the Bills, with Fitz as the QB most of the time.
At Gà Tech, the TEs combined for 19 catches.
In Buffalo, the RBs saw many more targets than the TEs, especially in the first few years.
Still, the TEs never combined for more than 53 receptions, a far cry from the Texans.
The same thing goes for the Pats.
It was only in 2010, when they had both Gronk and Hernandez (and OB's last year there) that the TEs were featured more.
That was because they both can make plays in space, not because of the mere fact that they are TEs.
We've already heard how OB mentioned about the importance of Foster and the slot receiver.
Whether they employ a 2 TE set or not, the concept is still there.
The spread and the no huddle is right down Keenum's alley, not so with Yates.
If OB decide to go with Yates, it won't be because of his familiarity with the system or that he's a prototype QB to run the system.
That QB needs to make a decision quickly and get the ball out.
We didn't see Keenum do enough of that due partially to the WCO, more play actions, the route schemes (and of course, due to Keenum's inexperience), but the guy had done it plenty at the collegiate level.
(Just think of how many pass attempts he had taken in the spread.)
Again, OB might still decide to go with Yates.
My point here is just to lay out the background.

Help for a Sheaffer Touchdown
Recently I bought a Sheaffer Touchdown. However, it came with some problems.
I can take off the Triumph nib, but the feed/collector doesn't move at all. I didn't keep trying because I was afraid it could break in pieces. What to do?
The barrel Touchdown system is all right, but the ink reservoir seems to be hardened. Is it possible be resac it? If it is, what's the sac number?
Your pen's problems can be solved, but unless you're an experienced repairman you should probably send the pen to someone who is experienced. Here are answers to your questions.
The "TRIUMPH" point in a Touchdown is made as part of a unit that includes the nib, the feed, and a collar that screws into the section. The collar is a tight fit into the section, and it is assembled with a sealant. It really doesn't want to come out. The only way to get it out is with persistence, patience, very gentle heat, and the skill to do the job without crushing the feed. This is not a task for the casual collector.
It's not terribly difficult to resac a Touchdown. If your pen is the same diameter as a Snorkel, it's a Touchdown TM, and it takes a No. 151/2 sac. If it is fatter than a Snorkel, it's a First Year model (1949), and it needs a No. 171/2. You can obtain the proper extra-pliable Touchdown sacs from Wood Bin Ltd.
When you resac a Touchdown, you should also replace the O-ring Touchdown tube seal at the back of the barrel. You can get either of the correct sizes from Indy-Pen-Dance.com. The Touchdown TM takes a "small" O-ring, and the 1949 model takes the "large" size.
Why Does My "51" Leak?
I own a Parker "51" Vacumatic style with a plastic plunger. If I keep it in my pocket (in a pen case) for any period of time after filling (and bleeding off 2-3 drops) it leaks — I think — from the feed area. Another Parker "51" of equal vintage does not — and it is next to it in the same case. Any thoughts as to how to correct this leakage?
Your description of your filling procedure gives me a clue to the problem. The correct way to fill a Vaculmatic "51" is to cycle the plunger until the pen is full, hold the plunger down, lift the pen out of the ink, and then release the plunger. This pulls excess ink from the nib area up into the collector. Bleeding off a few drops doesn't accomplish this the same way. Your other "51" doesn't misbehave because, even as precisely as the pens were manufactured, there are differences between individual pens. I have several that don't leak at all in the way you describe, and several that do.
I Want a Flex Nib, and I Want It Now!
In his 1978 book, Pen and Ink Techniques, concerned with pen and ink drawing, Frank Lohan mentions using a fountain pen with a very flexible nib that allows for a great variation in line width… My preliminary investigations into this tell me that this kind of nib is not presently available for production pens… Can you respond to the general question of availability of such nibs, or of the potential for having them custom made?
Your preliminary investigations are, in essence, correct. The Namiki Falcon is advertised as having a "soft" nib, Omas offers a flexible nib as an option, and Dani-Trio recently began marketing pens with flexible nibs. I've had the opportunity to play with all of these pens, and in my opinion none of them behaves like the ones Lohan describes. The Namiki and Dani-Trio are semiflexible but not particularly responsive, while the Omas is more "springy" than truly flexible in the way flexibility was formerly understood. What you are looking for is a pen with a nib so flexible that it's sometimes called a "wet noodle." Wet noodles are most commonly found on vintage pens from manufacturers such as Mabie Todd and Waterman.
As for having a flexible nib custom made, there are a few nib workers who have the requisite skills to produce nibs with enhanced flex. The modified Pelikan M250 nib shown below, for example, duplicates vintage flex performance, including the duo-point configuration of the tip that allows the nib to produce very fine lines when used with the nib facing downward. (To view a zoomed image of the nib for more detail, click the magnifying glass to the right of the image.) It is possible, however, to add flex without understanding the flexibility profile of the typical vintage nib — so if you want to go this route, I would caution you to be sure you are dealing with a nib technician who has made it his business to create flex nibs that actually work the way vintage flex nibs work.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Pop Art Eau De Parfum Spray
God, feels like FOREVER since I talked to you. Phew! I'm back from holiday and trying hard to get my butt back into the groove of things. Don't you hate that about vacations? You go, you relax, you have fun, enjoy yourself, and than you spend the next month of your life trying to get back into the grind of things! This morning I'm catchin' up on all things LiLo (how'd that go down?), I'm also trying hard to avoid looking at Combom (do not WANT Doctor Who spoilage), and finally, most important, catching up on makeup (Ulta 20% Off your total, 'ello sale!)
One thing that caught my eye this morning was the new Marc Jacobs Daisy Pop Art Eau De Parfum Spray!
Marc Jacobs continues to revamp Daisy, one wonders how many times you can revamp a fragrance? Marc Jacobs Daisy Pop Art will be available for a limited time this Fall and captures the feeling of uptown luxury with a mixed cool downtown vibe that features a red bottle and black daisy topper.
This version of Daisy is a richer interpretation of the original featuring top notes of violet leaves and wild strawberries with middle and base notes of jasmine, musk, and vanilla.
Count me curious if it'll smell the same as regular old Daisy or if you're really notice the richness of the scent.
What do you think?
Daisy fans shout at me!

A sales associate attacked me with this version of Daisy but in the cloud of department store stench, I wasn't able to really tell the difference between this and the earlier Daisy. I'll have to ask for a sample to go next time.
7/26/10 12:18 the Muse:
aw thanks Melissa sure did hun! xoxo!
I haven't seen it in stores yet damn! Must head to counter just so curious whether it smells the same or not!
7/26/10 17:22 Brooke:
Welcome back, Muse! Hope you enjoyed your vaca!
When I first smelled Daisy in the store I had to have it. I loved it for a couple of months and then the smell just got a little too much for me. I do still like it and wear it now and then if I go out on the weekends and I'm fine with it but I just can't wear it like I use to. Maybe it's one of those "getting old" things? haha. I'm definitely interested in giving this a smell, though!
7/27/10 4:48 the Muse:
aw thanks brooke I surely did xoxo! missed ya! same here. loved it at first but now I'm kinda like mm is this really special!?
7/26/10 18:51 Laura:

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 11, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Boddie Law Firm, LLC, an Atlanta, Ga.-based criminal defense, personal injury and family law practice, has opened its newest office in the Douglasville, Ga. area at 8333 E. Office Park Dr., a short distance from the Douglasville County Courthouse. The new office will serve clients in Douglas County, West Cobb, Carrolton, Chapel Hill, Villa Rica and the other areas surrounding its location.
"We want to bring the same experienced, zealous and committed representation that clients get in the Atlanta Metro area to our clients in the Douglasville area," says Founder and Managing Partner, Attorney William K. Boddie, Jr.
"However, because of the varied backgrounds of our staff, which includes our Spanish-speaking legal assistant, coupled with our down home manner-most of us were born, raised and educated in Georgia-we understand the needs of clients in the Douglasville area," he continues.
The Boddie Law Firm will assist clients in the areas of criminal defense, particularly drug cases and DUI, family law, with a specialty in father's rights and personal injury, including wrongful death. Attorney Boddie, who has nearly a decade of experience as an attorney, has become an exceptional litigator and regularly sees rulings in favor of his clients.
The Firm chose Douglasville for its expansion because, in Attorney Boddie's conversations with local residents and officials, he learned there is a great need for the kind of savvy representation the Firm can bring to the area while remaining sensitive to the unique culture in those communities the Firm will serve from its Douglasville location.
Attorney Boddie, a Georgia native born in Atlanta, derives his understanding of that culture from his experiences as an undergrad student at Valdosta State in South Georgia, from where he was graduated in 1999. He then studied law at Mercer University in Middle (Macon), Ga., where he received his JD in 2003.
Yet, Attorney Boddie's experience as a legal professional extends beyond the practice of law. He is a frequent lecturer and panel member in seminars on criminal defense law and U.S. Constitutional law issues involving the 4th Amendment. He also has been an invited guest on the Derrick Bozeman Radio show on Atlanta's WAOK (1380 AM) discussing important legal issues of the day and those that effect the practice of law and the general public. Attorney Boddie also has spoken to college classes at Brown Mackie College, Clark Atlanta University, Clayton State University, and Georgia Southern University.
He is admitted to practice in the Superior and State Courts of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and the Georgia Supreme Court. He is also a bar member of the United States District Court Northern District of Georgia and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Committed to continuing legal education to provide the best service to his clients, Attorney Boddie is a member of various professional organizations such as the Gate City Bar Association, Clayton County Bar Association, Cobb County Bar Association, the Northwest Georgia Bar Association Young Lawyers Division (YLD) and the Criminal Section of the State Bar of Georgia. He is also Contributing Member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (GACDL).
Additionally, Attorney Boddie is involved in several civic, business, and political organizations such as The Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and Let Us Make Man (LUMM). He serves as Chairman of The Advisory Board for The Fulton Leadership Academy.
He will be joining the Douglasville Chamber of Commerce and becoming involved in other local organizations and engaging in other community activities in the Douglasville area because he has a commitment to connecting with the communities in which his offices are located.
"We're determined to leverage our commitment to excellence, sophisticated understanding of Georgia law and diverse strengths to provide our Douglasville office clients with the same outstanding, personalized service that our Atlanta Metro office clients receive," says Attorney Boddie.
Learn more about the experience and background of The Boddie Law Firm team by visiting http://www.theboddielawfirm.com/ or calling the Douglasville office at 770-577-4449.

COLUMBIA — An MU employee, Charles W. Fay, was arrested Wednesday by the Fulton Police Department on a charge of stalking.
Fulton police arrested Fay after investigating a report filed April 7. An unidentified recipient said he or she was sent 358 "harassing emails" in 90 minutes, according to a Fulton Police news release.
The e-mails were "obscene and threatening," Lt. Andre Cook of the Fulton Police Department said.
Police tracked the e-mails to a computer at MU in the agriculture department. Fay's computer and login ID were used to send the e-mails.
Fay, a known acquaintance of the recipient, is listed on the university's website as an office support staff member in the Office of Vice Chancellor and Dean in the agriculture department.
Cook said the charges are a misdemeanor offense, so the maximum charge is one year of jail time or a maximum fine of $1,000.
The investigation is ongoing.

Charmed By Accurist Ladies' Charm Bracelet Watch
Dont be fooled by the appealing look of this watch. It is of extremely poor quality. The arms break, clock stops despite new batteries and it rusts and wears away very easily - all in the space of a few months. I have had 3 replacements now - no more. Waste of money!!

I was wondering, how much does something like this cost? And obviously it depends on hotels, fuel, distance etc, but is there a minumum it costs? is there any plan airlines have to avoid known delays like weather diversions etc? Anyone have figures , like record highs? Im sure 9/11 had some, but im talking about ordinary operations, not something drastic like 9/11! thanks

Russian tycoon to fight $5.6 billion divorce for 10 more years
GENEVA (REUTERS) - A Russian tycoon whose estranged wife won a US$4.5 billion (S$5.6 billion) divorce ruling this week, one of the costliest in history, will appeal against the judgment and the case will take another decade at least, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
Dmitry Rybolovlev, who made much of his fortune with the 2010 sale of his stake in fertiliser company Uralkali, spent six years in legal wrangling with wife Elena but the case is long from over, according to lawyer Tetiana Bersheda.
She said the judgment in Geneva was subject to two appeals, first to the court of justice and then at Switzerland's federal supreme court in Lausanne.
"This judgment is an intermediate stage in the divorce battle between the spouses. It is subject to two appeals and then to enforcement abroad in different jurisdictions," Bersheda said in an emailed statement.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Bobby Abreu. Abreu was recently released by the Los Angeles Angels. Juan Rivers is the LF at the moment, but he has a .175/.375 split against right and left handed pitching. Clearly Abreu should see plenty of playing time against right handed pitching.
The New York Yankees Closer, Mariano Rivera, has been diagnosed with a Torn ACL. His season is finished and most likely his career is too. He injured himself shagging fly balls during batting practice in Kansas City. David Robertson seems to be the favorite to get the closer role but Rafael Soriano might get an opportunity as well.
The video is priceless - http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=21128441&topic_id=8878548&c_id=mlb&tcid=vpp_copy_21128441&v=3
ARod's reaction, the multiple camera angles, fly balls still flying overhead as they attempt to get Rivera in the cart, Girardi beaing out hustled to the warning track by a guy with a beer belly..amazing camera work.
5/3 - Boston Red Sox 3B Kevin Youkilis has landed on the 15-Day DL, retroactive to Sunday April 29. The stiffness in his back that has kept him out of games since Saturday April 28 is what is landing him on the DL. If you are looking to add a player Chase Headley tops the list of eligible 3B and is just 68% owned in Yahoo leagues. After him Chris Davis (56%) and Mike Moustakas(71%) are you best bets. Chris Johnson of the Astros (5%) is there too but his 2 HRs and 6 RBI against the Mets the other day have boosted his stats to make him appear better then he has been.
5/2 - Milwaukee Brewers 1B Mat Gamel will miss the remainder of the season with a Torn ACL.
Johnny Damon is in the Cleveland Indians lineup tonight, batting leadoff
5/1 - New York Yankees Nick Swisher will miss this week due to a hamstring injury. It does not look like a DL stint is likely

Teams Playing 7 Games:
Arizona Diamondbacks (11-11) - Jason Kubel has been Arizona's best hitter at .333 with 5 doubles and 3 home runs. Only Miguel Montero (13) and Chris Young (13) have more RBI than Kubel's 12. Because of the lack of offense from other hitters, he has scored just 7 runs, while Justin Upton (14), Aaron Hill (13), Gerardo Parra (13), Miguel Montero (11), Willie Bloomquist (9) and Chris Young (8) have all crossed home plate more times. Kubel is owned in just 39% of Yahoo leagues.
Joe Saunders has been lights out in his 4 starts tallying 30 ip and a .90 ERA! He has allowed just 19 hits over this span and just 1 HR, a solo shot to Dan Uggla. Saunders is owned in just 29% of Yahoo leagues.
Atlanta Braves (14-8) - The Braves have been getting offensive contributions from most of their lineup, with 5 everyday players hitting over .270. Oddly enough the one guy you would expect to be on that list, Brian McCann (.242), is not. Michael Bourn (.344) is the only guy batting better than .274. Freddie Freeman, Dan Uggla, Jason Heyward and Martin Prado have combined for 32 XBH.
Brandon Beachy has been the highlight of this Braves pitching staff. His 4 starts have lead to just 25.2 innings pitched, but his WHIP currently sits under 1 and his ERA is just 1.05. The back end of the bullpen is the best in baseball with Jonny Venters setting up Craig Kimbrel. Over 17.2 innings they have allowed just 14 hits, 2 earned runs and struck out 33 batters. You don't want to be losing to the Braves heading into the 8th inning.
Chicago Cubs (8-14) - The Cubs have one of the worst offensive in baseball. However, they do have a nice option in Bryan LaHair who is just 49% owned in Yahoo leagues. In his 55 ABs, LaHair has hit 4 HRs and driven in 12 runs while scoring 10 himself. Only David DeJesus (13) has scored more time while Starlin Castro also has 10 runs scored. On top of the 4 HRs, LaHair has also hit 7 doubles, leading to a .727 SLG. Clearly there are owners who need LaHairs bat and they shouldn't hesitate to pick him up.
Outside of Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza there is nothing to own in the Cubs rotation and/or bullpen. If you can trade Carlos Marmol and/or Kerry Wood you should do so. Let us know what you are getting in return!
Kansas City Royals (6-15) - Mike Moustakas is only 67% owned in Yahoo leagues. What is wrong with you fantasy owners! If you are reading this and he is not currently on your roster, yet available in your league, he better be by the time you close this window. He is currently the 17th best 3b eligible and the only one less than 72% owned. Hitting .315 Moose has 7 doubles, 3 HRs, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.
Danny Duffy (3.63) is the only Royals starter with an ERA under 4. The talented young lefty has Kd 20 hitter over his first 17 innings in his 3 starts and if he can ever keep his pitch count down, will be capable of pitching deeper in to games and hopefully earn 15 wins this season. Duffy is not worth an add just yet, but at 11% owned there is time to wait on him. If you see him string together 3 or 4 good starts in a row, feel free to add him to your roster.
Los Angeles Angels (7-15) - If I told you in March, that 21 games into the season not one Angel would have double digit RBI would you have believed me? Didn't think so. Vernon Wells (11) is the only Angel to score 10+ runs and he drove himself in 4 times with HRs. Mark Trumbo has been the Angels best hitter, and due to a lack of a position, he doesn't even get to play everyday. At just 72% owned in Yahoo leagues, he is worth an add to your roster as he will earn more starts and ABs as the season progresses.
Scott Downs has moved into the closer role for the Angels. At just 41% owned he is worth an add if you need bullpen help. Just let it be known, that he has never been a strike out pitcher, so don't expect help in that category. The 36 year old has struck out just 485 batters in 632 innings.
Miami Marlins (8-13) - Omar Infante is owned in just 64% of Yahoo leagues. He is slugging .759 hitting 6 doubles, 2 triples and 5 HRs. His 13 runs leads the Marlins, and he would also be leading the team in RBI if Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes were batting betting then .205.
Mark Buerhle is just 50% owned in Yahoo leagues, but is worth a look. He might not strike out a bunch of batters a night, but he will keep his and your teams ERA and WHIP nice and low. If the Marlins offense ever gets going, he might actually win 12+ games.
New York Yankees (12-9) - Mark Teixeira is off to another terrible April. But owners should have no fear as he always ends up at the top of the 1b list.
David Phelps (2% owned Yahoo) has moved into the starting rotation as Freddy Garcia has been moved to the bullpen. Phelps has made 6 apperances lasting 17.2 innings and has a nice 3.57 ERA. The only scary thing about Phelps is the 4 homers allowed. If you need pitching help, Phelps could be worth a look this week in spot duty.
Philadelphia Phillies (10-12) - Ty Wiggington (14% owned Yahoo) has done a nice job filling in this year for the Phils. Batting over .300 with 3 doubles and 2 HRs, Wiggy can serve as a nice role player for your fantasy team. With Howard not due back anytime soon there are plenty of ABs available for Ty. Plus he has 1b, 3b, and OF eligibility.
Even with a team pitching staff at 2.99, the Phillies find themselves under .500 and in 4th place in the NL East. The staff is nearly top 10 in every pitching category, as expected. Many people believed Vance Worley had a flukey season last year, but he is proving otherwise. He is 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA striking out 27 batters in 25 innings. Only downside is the 4 HRs allowed, but at 72% owned he is worth adding to the roster.
Pittsburgh Pirates (9-12) - Pedro Alvarez continues to disappoint. Even though he has 8 extra base hits including 4 HRs, he has just 7 RBI and is hitting .200 on the season. If the Pirates are serious about winning, they will let Casey McGehee play third and either move Alvarez back to the minors, or have him come off the bench.
AJ Burnett has been great since returning to the NL. In his 2 starts, he has Kd 15 batters in 13 innings. With a bunch of starts against the WEAK NL Central (outside of St. Louis) Burnett should have a nice year and at 27% owned in Yahoo leagues, if you are looking for pitching help, Burnett could be useful.
Seattle Mariners (11-12) - Mariners young 3b Kyle Seager is just 10% owned in Yahoo leagues. He also has SS eligibility, which makes his .279 average, 7 doubles and 1 round tripper look even better. A big plus for him is that he has struck out just 9 times in 19 games.
Jason Vargas is a solid MLB pitcher and threw 4 CG last year, 3 for SO. He will win 10 games, pitch 200 innings and keep a low WHIP and respectable ERA. If you need pitching help, he is just 26% owned in Yahoo leagues.
Tampa Bay Rays (14-8) - Matt Joyce is off to another hot start. He has 10 XBH including 2 triples which has lead to a .314 average, a .667 SLGand 12 runs scored. He is just 67% owned and can help most owners. Luke Scott is another Rays batter off to a hot start, with 5 HRs and 5 doubles, Scott is SLG .610. At just 36% owned, Scott can provide some pop.
Fernando Rodney is only owned in 80% of Yahoo leagues. He has 7 saves, and an ERA under 1! If you are looking for saves, see if Rodney is available.
Toronto Blue Jays (12-10) - Edwin Encarnacion must have drank Jose Bautista's mojo. Encarnacion has 20 RBI already and has hit 7 HRs while Joey Bats is hitting just .190 with 3 HRs and 10 RBI.
Kyle Drabek is 26% owned in Yahoo leagues, yet has an ERA of just 2.45 over his first 4 starts. Another pitcher who allows more HRs then you would like, but with the Jays offense providing him nice run support, Drabek is a nice add for spot starts.
Every other team plays 6 games
- Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals play all 6 at home
- Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers play all 6 on the road

Creating a Realistic Plan For Retirement
Sign up for our FREE Monthly Email Newsletter
Of all the misguided concepts I embraced when I was younger, one of the most ridiculous involved retirement planning. "Why plan for retirement?" I thought. "I'll be dead by then." Luckily, as I got older I wised up and realized that I needed to start planning. But I'm sad to say there are still folks out there that think the way I did in my youth, and as a result they are not properly planning for retirement.
Retirement isn't a question of if—if you'll get sick, if you'll have unexpected expenses, and so on—it is a question of when. It is also about making the right decisions now—preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.
Here are some things for which you should be planning as you chart your course toward retirement. This way, you can enjoy your golden years instead of working yourself into the grave.
Realistic future living expenses
Food, shelter, transportation, and clothing—these will all be more expensive when you retire. If you think a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk are expensive now, can you imagine how much more they will cost in 20 or 30 years?
A prime example: When I was in my teens, I purchased gas for my car at less than $1 a gallon. Now, almost 30 years later, I am paying upwards of $4 a gallon for gas, an increase of over 300 percent.
When you are younger and retirement seems far away, you just don't think about inflation. But as the cost of living increases, you will need more retirement money to pay for things. The only way you can be ready for this is by setting aside more money in your retirement savings account now than you think you'll need in the future.
Freedom from debt
Would you believe it if I told you that in 2012, Americans aged 50 and older had a higher combined balance on their credit cards than younger people did? Having debt at any age puts you at a higher risk for a financial disaster, but as you get older that risk grows exponentially.
Having little or no debt at retirement is extremely important. Let's say you have a house payment of $2,000, credit card debt that costs you $200 every month, and a $300 car payment. When you are working, those payments might be manageable, but having to pay out $2,500 each month on a fixed income can really hurt.
Your goal should be to be completely out of debt by the time you retire, if not sooner. And that means setting aside money each month to pay down debts.
A larger emergency fund
Most experts recommend having at least three to six months of your living expenses in a liquid emergency fund, but that amount is for people who are working. At retirement, it might make sense to have more in your emergency fund than you did when you were working—unless you plan to go back to work after you have retired.
There is no magic number, but you might consider having at least one to two years of your post-retirement living expenses in an accessible emergency fund. That way, if you need a large amount of cash quickly, you can get it without having to pay the extra fees, taxes, or penalties you could face if you pulled that money from a retirement account.
In order to have a large liquid savings account when you retire, you need to get started funding it today. Be sure to add money to your savings account in addition to your retirement account each month. And in retirement, don't give up saving money; you should still be adding to your savings each month.
There are many things to consider when planning for retirement. By thinking about these issues and taking early action on them, you greatly increase your chances of a comfortable retirement.

I am going to retire in a few years and didn't realize that I should have more cash saved up. Great article!
I'm so glad Steve's advice helped. Feel free to share your savings strategy to get you to retirement. Thanks for posting.
Nice article. For today's economy, having only 3 to 6 months in savings for emergencies is not enough when it can take a year or more to find a new job and when many homeowner's are underwater on house.
Good point. It's important to consider your own situation to figure out how much you need to save for an emergency. While 3 to 6 months of expenses is a good start, you might want a bigger safety net if you own a home or have children. Thanks so much for sharing.
Here are my thoughts. Retirement is not an age issued BUT a $ issue.
You must have a financial plan in place……1. get life insurance to protected your current income. 2. start an emergency fund for the unexpected. 3. Reduce your debt and strart paying cash vs. credit, live within your means. 4. Open a retirement account or contribute to your 401K ASAP. 5. If you have kids, start planning for Collage with a qualified account. Stick with the plan and you will be 1 step in from of the finish line. I had to learn the hard way but, now I'm in business helping families so that they have the proper education and advise…So ask your self this question: What will my retirement look like if you dont make a change?
These are great tips, Rita. It sounds like you're going to be prepared for retirement. Thank you so much for sharing.
