2011 BEST Massage, South
Oasis Day Spa
There are long-awaited, I-deserve-this massages, and there are last-minute, I-had-a-bad-day massages. In either case, hightail it to Oasis. It's as sophisticated as a downtown destination, but not so much a hot spot that you can't book a same-day appointment. And the rubdowns? Strong, soothing, and utterly reviving.

Weekend Sports In Brief
San Diego Kevin Towers, the longest-tenured general manager in the majors, was fired by the San Diego Padres.
Towers, in his 14th season as Padres GM, helped the Padres win four NL West titles and reach the 1998 World Series, where they were swept by the New York Yankees.
CEO Jeff Moorad leads a group that is buying the team from John Moores. He has spoken about making changes in the baseball operations department and apparently wants his own person in the GM job.
Moorad was CEO of the Diamondbacks until pursuing the purchase of the Padres in January.
BALTIMORE (AP) – J.P. Ricciardi is out as the Toronto Blue Jays' general manager. As for embattled manager Cito Gaston, he isn't going anywhere.
The Blue Jays fired Ricciardi on Saturday, ending an eight-year tenure marked by an inability to get past the Yankees and Red Sox in the AL East and into the playoffs. Ricciardi, who joined the Jays in 2001, had one year left on his contract. The Blue Jays (75-87) finished fourth in the AL East this season.
The Blue Jays said 32-year-old assistant general manager Alex Anthopoulos will assume Ricciardi's duties. Beeston said that it will be his "high recommendation" that Anthopoulos remain the GM when the Jays' search for a permanent chief executive officer is completed.
MIAMI (AP) – Chad Pennington's shoulder surgery was less extensive than feared, and the Miami Dolphins quarterback should be able to play next season if he so chooses, a person familiar with the results of the operation told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The person didn't want to be identified because the Dolphins haven't released any information about the surgery. The person said the arthroscopic procedure was encouraging because there was no damage to the rotator cuff, and Pennington should be able to start throwing in eight to 12 weeks.
Two operations on Pennington's right shoulder in 2005 involved the rotator cuff. He's already a two-time winner of the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award, most recently in 2008. The latest injury, which occurred Sept. 27 at San Diego, sidelined Pennington for the season.
COPENHAGEN (AP) – The International Olympic Committee is setting up a new system to watch for corrupt betting linked to Olympics competitions, and it will be in place for the 2010 Vancouver winter games.
The IOC's monitoring will be conducted by a new Swiss company, International Sports Monitoring. The IOC said Sunday that the firm will analyze betting on Olympic competitions and flag irregularities for investigation.
Athletes at Vancouver will also be educated about the program, part of broadening efforts in sports to tackle corrupt betting and match-fixing. Olympic athletes and all others accredited for the games are barred from betting on competitions.
CHICAGO (AP) – A judge is expected to decide Monday whether a man accused of stalking ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and secretly video taping her nude should be returned to Los Angeles as a federal prisoner or free on bail to face charges.

LC4 Questions
I just purchased a 2002 LC4. I have a couple simple questions while waiting for the owner's manual to arrive. Please forgive the elementary nature of these questions as I am sure I will have more complicated issues once I start doing maintenance on the bike.
1. The bike has Karoo's. What is suggested air pressure and what type of mileage can I expect from a set?
2. I have the 18l tank and was wondering about range which leads into my next question. On the fuel selector if the arrow is pointing to ON, is the main fuel selected? The way I look at the selector it almost seems like it indicates the fuel is coming from the reserve. Since it is a used bike, I want to make sure the reserve works but don't want to ride the bike empty with the selector in the wrong position. I assume the reserve works even though the 18l is an aftermarket tank.
3. What octane fuel should I use? My VStrom likes unleaded regular.
4. Will the alternator allow the use of an electric vest?
I took it out on some rugged ranch roads yesterday with a friend who has a 950. Boy, did I make the correct decision on buying the LC4. The last time I was on these roads with my VStrom, 40-45mph was the top speed. We were running 65-70 yesterday. Of course, the Karoos on a 300 lb bike make a lot of difference. I keep Torrances on the VStrom. I had a chance to ride the 950 for the first time as well. All I can say is WOW! I want one but the VStrom and LC4 make a great package as well. My friend with the 950 is thinking about adding a smaller bike to his stable as well.

Having my own 2002 LC4 I can answer a few questons, but mine came with an 18 liter tank. My bike gets 45mpg on the dirt roads around here, but on a trip to the Mojave last month I only averaged 38 through desert. We were riding high speeds most of the time. On the road I often get 50+ mpg at 65 mph.
My bike came with Karoo's and I found them to be the single worst wear tires in my 35 years of riding. They were OK new on dirt roads, but terrible in mud. THey lasted about 1700 miles on the rear. Some tire suggestions are Dunlop 606 knobs if you want DOT knobbies. They last about 3k on a friends KLR, but I'm sure they would not do so well on my bike since it spins the tire so freely. Another friend runs Kings 50/50 tires on his Suzuki 650 and gets about 3K miles from them so I bought them. They lasted about 2K on my KTM, although I think they are very good combo tires. They also chunk a little bit which makes most of those that have tried them mad, but I don't care as long as I have traction. I have used Kings DOT knobbies which lasted 3K on my KTM but they also chunked. My next set of tires will either be Kings DOT knobbies or Dunlop 606 knobbies. On my wifes bike I put Kenda 270's and they offer great off road traction on the rear and acceptable traction on the front since she doesn't power slide corners she won't need the additional traction of side knobbies. THey are not lasting reall good on road and I expect only 2.5K max on her bike which is ridden softly. Her next set will be Kings 50/50 tires since they last so long and are good on dirt, even fair in mud. I had a 95 400 that came with Pirelli M82 ( I think) and the front tire would let go when I was in a tight sirt turn sometimes, so I didn't buy them again, although they lasted a long time also.
My fuel valve is off when the arrow faces off etc.
I slide my forks up into the tripple clamps since these bikes don't turn like a 450 or 525. This helped a lot for single track but made for a slippery ride out in the Mohave sand washes. I also softened the rear sag a bit to lower the rear because I like to place a foot on the ground during off camber trailing, even though I'm 6' 1".
You need to use premium fuel and I carry octane booster when I know there may not be premium. I don't know what to expect from your electrics.
I have a KTM hard parts skid plate, but I just ordered an after market plate since the stock one is so beat up. It still retains its shape but seems too maleable for a skid plate, although it looks real good with the laser cut "KTM" in it.
If you change your front sprocket to a 15 you can do most single track and still do 75 on the freeway if you can bear the vibrations.

I think these all use the same petcocks:
+ All the way CCW (arrow pointed down): ON
+ All the way CW (arrow pointed up): RESERVE
+ Halfway between (arrow horizontal): OFF
Like all highly tuned singles, you want to feed it the highest octane you can find. Don't be alarmed when the owner's manual arrives and starts talking about 95+ octane requirements - that's on a different system than the US uses. In stock trim, premium should be fine. A half-tank of regular when you can't find premium is probably going to be Okay now and then, but carrying octane booster is a nice insurance policy if you anticipate being back in the boonies for an extended period where the only available gas is regular. Of course, if it starts pinging, use more revs and less throttle and/or back off.

This is interesting info for me, I am selling my beloved 950 and now riding an LC4, but "only" the 400. I am about to fit the 18L tank too. Running on trailwings, but mostly for road. Am not finding the vibes as bad as I've heard though. Thanks, Jem

What's your standard octane in the states? I think it's 95 normal here, which is what I have been using, and seems ok, but only been a week so far, and one fill was 97 when I went into a place that's regular pump was not working.

The KTM 625SXC has a low octane fuel setting for the ignition spark advance map, that can be configured when low fuel quality can be anticipated. It may be that other models have this same ignition, too.

In the US, 91-92 pump octane is standard for premium, 86-87 for regular. Pump octane is the average of motor and research octane (RON) - that's why you see the symbol (R+M)/2 on the pump. I've heard that RON, as used in Europe, is abut 5 points higher than US pump octane, so our 91 is equivalent to about 95-96 in Europe.

New Product Helps Travelers Protect Themselves Against Bed Bugs
BugZip® Luggage Encasements Provide Travelers with Secure Peace of Mind and Helps Keep their Homes Bed Bug Free
Northbrook, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) January 13, 2011
Vantzen Products Inc. is proud to announce the release of the first bed bug resistant luggage and clothing encasements, BugZip®, in the U.S and Canada.
In case you haven't heard, bed bugs are back and with vengeance. Many experts are calling the outbreak an epidemic and see no end in sight. Cases of bed bug infestations have exploded and these creepy crawlers don't discriminate. Bed Bugs have been found in high-end luxury hotels, cruise ships, resorts, historic landmarks and budget motels. For the last 50 years, bed bugs have been shown the "No Vacancy" sign in hotels- until recently. Why the resurgence when they were pretty much eradicated in the 1950s? Experts say international travel and the ban of DDT in 1972 have provided an open door for the comeback of the pesky blood suckers.
Travelers now need to do a little bit of homework and take some extra precautions on their next journey. BugZip® luggage and clothing encasements are the first line of defense in the battle of the bed bug.
"Travelers don't need to be scared, just prepared" said Adam Greenberg, President of Vantzen Products, Inc. and inventor of BugZip®. "Bed Bugs are often found lurking in hotel rooms looking for their next meal and free ride. Before you bring your luggage and personal belongings into the room, inspect the room for signs of bed bugs. Next, isolate your luggage and personal belongings away from the bed and its surroundings and zip them into a BugZip®. BugZip® allows you to protect your personal belongings while in your hotel room, preventing bed bugs from hitching a ride home with you."
BugZip® luggage and clothing encasements are made of heavy-duty clear vinyl that resists tears and can easily hold large objects. Simply place your entire suitcase, garment bag or clothing inside an encasement and zip it securely. The specially designed three-sided bed bug resistant zipper allows easy access to your clothing and belongings while "zipping" out bed bugs when they are on the move. It comes in four convenient sizes, is simple to use and easy to pack in your suitcase. BugZip® is perfect for use in hotels, hospitals, cruise ships, and other travel destinations.
Luggage and clothing encasements are an important part of preventing and stopping the vicious bed bug cycle. BugZip® is specially designed and tested for advanced resistance to bed bugs. Encasing your luggage and belongings reduces the likelihood of bringing bed bugs home, or from place to place, allowing you to enjoy secure peace of mind and travel without fear. BugZip® is now available for purchase at select online retailers, travel goods stores, domestic merchandise retail stores, pest control distributors and hotel supply distributors. If you would like to learn more about BugZip® and how to protect yourself from bringing bed bugs home visit http://www.bugzip.com.
About Vantzen Products Inc.
At Vantzen Products Inc. our mission is to be an innovator in bed bug prevention. BugZip® is our revolutionary attempt to stop the bed bugs in their tracks.
Founded in 2006, Vantzen Products Inc. was started on a quest by its President, Adam Greenberg. After learning of the horror of living with bedbugs and finding them himself under his mattress while taking a cruise with his family, Adam set out to stop the spread of bed bugs into people's home Extensive research and development has produced the innovation of BugZip®, the world's first bed bug resistant luggage encasement.

An ELI Research Seminar Series
The In-Lieu Fee Mitigation Training Webinar Series is designed to help states, tribes, and local governments; conservation organizations; and other interested groups develop or refine rigorous in-lieu-fee programs that yield ecologically effective and sustainable compensatory mitigation. The series of webinars will focus on specific subjects, providing in-depth technical support on the topics of most interest to participants. The topics were chosen with the assistance of an Advisory Committee based on an assessment of the needs of states, tribes, and local governments and conservation organizations seeking approval for or overseeing the approval of statewide or regional in-lieu fee programs.
In 2009, ELI published model language that could be incorporated into in-lieu fee program instruments being developed by state agencies and non-profit organizations. The report, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was designed to comply with the 2008 Compensatory Mitigation Rule. It was developed using the best available information and uses examples from the approved and draft in-lieu fee instruments that were available as of December 2009.
More information on the individual webinars is posted below as it becomes available. PowerPoint presentations, archived recordings, and helpful resources are available for each webinar by clicking the links below. Participants can contact Rebecca Kihslinger (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information or to register for upcoming webinars.

Buckner Court, Welch Court, Albright Court, Scott Joplin Court, McAnally Court.
These streets are well known to Sedalia Police Department officers. They're frequently called to this area, the Sedalia Housing Authority, on calls ranging from assault to trespassing to possession. Some of the residents have racked up so many charges officers can recite their entire criminal history.
When he transferred from the SPD's STING Unit back to patrol earlier this year, Officer Larry Parham decided to take on the Housing Authority as a special project.
"For me it's personal, my mom used to live over there and she'd watch our two boys when they were young," he said. "But now it's changed. Housing Authority has become a place where we're always getting calls out there. I want to see it cleaned up."
Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, public housing provides rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly and those with disabilities. Currently Sedalia has 193 units of low-rent housing and generally all units are full.
"There's a stigma about public housing, people calling it the projects," said Sedalia Housing Authority Executive Director Doug Brown. "But really, we're here to provide safe, affordable housing for those who need it."
Brown, who came on as director in January, said his focus for the next year is figuring out how to be "a good neighbor" to the surrounding area.
"We're working on partnering with different agencies — Pettis County Community Partnership, Boy Scouts, Boys & Girls Club — to help develop relationships," he said. "We need to be a team player in this community."
As for the stigma associated with those who live there, Brown said it was misconstrued.
"We're a diverse group. But the vast majority of our people are doing things the right way. Any landlord will tell you there are always a few tenants that take a majority of their time," he said.
Part of the agency's renewed cleanup efforts involve knowing exactly who is on an apartment's lease. Federal rules say those who are not listed on the lease may not stay there and the Housing Authority has given SPD officers permission to issue trespass warnings on its behalf.
"If we issue a trespass warning and they come back, we can arrest them and get charges going," Parham said. "This project is really a two-pronged approach: get rid of the bad guys and beef up community policing. It's about being seen. We obviously want the bad guys to know we're there, that we're watching. But, we also want people to be comfortable talking to us. If there's a problem that we can help with, we will."
While the SPD is taking care of the criminal element, Brown and his crew are focusing on day-to-day problems, like trash piling up.
"You look at something like the trash that spreads here," he said. "That's an easy fix, we just needed to get new lids for the Dumpsters. Something so simple to fix helps us clean up the place and also will hopefully inspire our residents to take pride in the area."
Similar to Parham's two-pronged approach, Brown has three goals for the area: tenant compliance for regulations and operations, providing resources so tenants can be successful and improving curb appeal.
"Every situation is different but our ultimate goal is to get people moved through public housing," he said. "The elderly or disabled typically stay longer, we have some young families trying to get established and work on their employment. But the goal isn't for them to be here forever, we want them to do well and move on from here."
Brown is also looking into providing activities that bring out the residents.
"I'd like to have a Father's Day event in June, we have a great community room facility here and it's really under-utilized," he said.
Both Parham and Brown said they knew the project was just the first step in a long process.
"It's going to take some time. I'd like to see a call log, six months from now, to see if this had any effect on how often we're getting called out there," Parham said. "This is the first step, we're just getting started with this."

On September 15, the South Korean Parliament began a process that could eliminate South Korea's bear farming industry for good. It comes after the tabling of a bill by National Assembly member Hong Heedeok.
Sadly, over 12,000 bears are currently being held captive in bear farms in Asia — where the animals are contained in small cages and bile is extracted from their bodies to be used for traditional Asian medicine. Several animal activists and groups have been working for years to put an end to this torture.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) Canada teamed up with Care2 to create a petition urging the South Korean government to stop the farms — and more than 60,000 Care2 members added their names!
The bill should soon be considered by the Environment and Labour Committee, as well as other relevant ministries. If the process continues smoothly, a policy to end bear farming in South Korea could be in place by the end of 2010.
A big thank you goes out to all who signed the petition. This tremendous outpour of support seems to have gotten the government thinking, but they still need a little push to take the next step. Sign the petition to urge South Korean Parliament to put an end to bear farming for good!

boycott korea, bp, herseys all guilty of harmful, greedy actions!
This seems to be an ongoing battle. Korea wil not budge . For me it means BOYCOTT of Korean products. Lets all combine and show what we can do to stop this cruel practice.
I hope that compassion will win.
Signed on 8/9. Thanx for bringing this to the world's attention!
South Korea has a long way to go when animal welfare is concerned, this could be a good start.
Hope they manage to see it through to a conclusion ie a complete STOP
Bear farming for bear bile? I really had never heard of this.
Poor bears! There are other ways in traditional and alternative medicine to extract any kind of enzymes needed for research or to make medicines. Those can be explored by the South Korean government. Hope they also find a way to let the bears roam freely and not be hurt by humans.
I hope with all my heart this bill will passed a bear bile farming will be eliminated in South Korea.
Heartbreaking practice that does no good - only suffering for the bears.
PLEASE keep us posted on the progress of this issue!

L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Double Eye Lift Reviews
On my second jar!I've been blessed with decent skin, but, at age 47, menopause really did a number on me. So, in the constant search for an eye cream that felt good, moisturized the delicate skin around the eyes, and helped my eyes recapture their youth, I decided to try L'Oreal Revitalift Double Eye Lift. I am very pleased; it absorbs right away and wrinkles are minimized. I highly recommend it! — 5 years, 5 months agoSueTaitP | 2 reviews

Love this stuffI love the the Revitalife cream makes my face look and feel. I know my lines aren't as prevalent as they were. My face is also tighter I love loreal Revialift products. — 5 years, 6 months agopatpaulas | 1 reviews
Ehh...When heading out to the drugstore, I bought this product because it was moderately priced but promised results. I started using it and noticed that the skin around my eyes started to tingle but after a few weeks of using it, that feeling went away. I thought maybe since my skin was tingling, it was working, but haven't noticed any difference, and my eye circles are still bad. I probably won't be buying this again! — 5 years, 6 months agochicchic85 | 3 reviews

RemarkableI'm in the over 50 group and this is a remarkable product. I love the L'Oreal product line for aging skin. It smells good and works like magic. — 5 years, 6 months agoakiss50 | 1 reviews
Eye feel upliftedI have only been using this product for about a week but so far I'm happy with it. I like the 2 part system and I do actually see some instant result when I use the #2part - upper eye life. It does provide some instant lift and tightening which is noticeable. I will give more info after I have been using it for longer period of time, but for now I feel it is worth the price of admission if only for the temporary life. — 5 years, 6 months agostephanie1 | 14 reviews
not worth the $$I tried this product b/c it was on sale, and I figured since L'Oreal owns Lancome, the product lines and formulas had to be somewhat similar. The l'Oreal product didn't absorb well into my skin, and after 2 weeks of use, there was no visible difference around my eyes. My advice is to save your $$. — 5 years, 9 months agobtlynch | 1 reviews

Dr. Ogbru received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy in 1995. He completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in 1996. He was a Professor of Pharmacy Practice and a Regional Clerkship Coordinator for the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy from 1996-99.

Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
FSH and LH also control the onset of puberty in boys and girls. Therefore, administration of nafarelin blocks the puberty-promoting effects of FSH and LH, reducing the development of secondary sexual characteristics (such as pubic hair) and skeletal development in boys and girls with abnormally early puberty (central precocious puberty) due to problems in the brain that result in high levels of FSH and LH. The FDA approved nafarelin in February 1991.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Nasal spray: 200µg/spray
STORAGE: Nafarelin should be stored at room temperature, 15 to 30 C (59 to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Nafarelin is prescribed for the management of endometriosis, to relieve pain and shrink endometrial implants. It also is used for managing central precocious puberty.
DOSING: For treatment of endometriosis nafarelin is given as one spray (200 µg) into one nostril in the morning and one spray in the other nostril in the evening for 6 months. The first dose of nafarelin should be taken between the second and fourth day after menstrual bleeding begins. After the first two months of nafarelin treatment, most women can expect a decrease in menstrual flow, and menstruation may stop altogether. For women who continue to experience normal menstrual cycles after two months of treatment, the daily dose may be increased to 800 µg daily.
Central precocious puberty is treated with 1600-1800 µg daily administered as four sprays in alternating nostrils twice daily or three sprays in alternating nostrils three times daily. Thirty seconds should elapse between sprays.
For optimal effectiveness and safety, nafarelin has to be given continuously without interruption. Missing one or more doses can cause vaginal bleeding. Missing successive doses can cause release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) and result in pregnancy, unless proper contraceptive measures have been followed. Since birth control pills cannot be used with nafarelin, it is important to use non-hormonal methods of contraception (such as a diaphragm with contraceptive jelly, IUD, or condoms) while taking nafarelin.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Having a way to feed XML content from a network share or local file directory into the search index is highly useful. This blog post describes how to install and deploy a custom XML connector to the Search service application. The custom XML connector will enable you to crawl content from a network share or local directory, and feed it to the search index. When content is in the search index, it can be displayed in a public facing web site through search.
The follow-up blog post "Display XML content in a publishing site when using the custom XML indexing connector for SharePoint 2013" will describe how you can configure a publishing site to display your XML content through search.
The diagram below shows how a custom XML connector feeds XML content from a network share and local file directory to the search index. This content is then shown in Search Web Parts on a publishing site.
Before you begin, make sure that you have installed the following:
In the procedure below, you will extract the files needed to create the custom XML extractor, and install this on your local SharePoint Server 2013 installation on the default Search service application. Note: The user that performs this operation has to be an administrator for the Search service application.
-A Microsoft Visual Studio Project to install and deploy the custom XML connector.
-A PowerShell script to create a term set on a publishing site.
-A text file that contains the taxonomy of the term set.
-An .xml file that contains sample .xml product data.
gacutil /i <ExtractedFolderPath>\bin\Debug\XmlFileConnector.dll
where: <ExtractedFolderPath> is the folder where your extracted files are located, for example c:\CustomXMLConnector.
Expected result after running this command is "Assembly successfully added to the cache".
<ExtractedFolderPath> is the folder where your extracted files are located, for example c:\CustomXMLConnector. The Model.xml file is included in the Visual Studio project.
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlCustomConnector -SearchApplication $searchapp
Expected result:
net stop osearch15
net start osearch15
When the custom XML connector crawls content, the crawled properties discovered during crawl will have to be added to a crawled property category. You will have to create this category. Note: The user that performs this operation has to be an administrator for the Search service application.
The Propset GUID, BCC9619B-BFBD-4BD6-8E51-466F9241A27A, is hardcoded in the file XmlDocumentNamingContainer.cs and should not be changed.
$c = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory -SearchApplication $searchapp -Identity "<ConnectorName>"
$c.DiscoverNewProperties = $true
<ConnectorName> is the name you want to give the custom XML connector, for example Custom XML Connector.
To specify what, when and how the XML content should be crawled, you have to create a new content source for your XML content. Note: The user that performs this operation has to be an administrator for the Search service application.
where: <SharedNetworkPath> is the location of your XML content, for example C$/XMLCATALOG. You can also change the variables doc:id,url and title. To use our example file, you should type: xmldoc://localhost/C$/XMLCATALOG/#x=Product:ID;;titleelm=Title;;urlelm=Url#
Important: Make sure the crawler account has access to the local drive or network share.
Note: In the specified address, xmldoc is a protocol that was added to the registry. The part enclosed in #, contains properties that will be extracted from the document and will be associated with document ID, title and navigation url. #x=Product:ID matches the content in the .xml sample file that you will use later.
Now that you have successfully installed and deployed the custom XML connector, you can use it to extract XML content and display this through search on a publishing site.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Title>Contoso series2</Title>
<Description>This camera is making great pictures. Easy to use to an affordable price. </Description>
<Title>Contoso Camera</Title>
<Description>This camera is making great pictures. Easy to use to an affordable price. </Description>
To enable crawled items from XML document to appear in CBS with managed navigation make sure to include a field ( e.g. ItemCategoryText.) which will be mapped to the taxonomy term set.
Each record should include a field which will point to the associated category. An item called "Contoso series2" should point to "Cameras". Then it will be possible to associate menu selection and results in CBS.
The publishing site, on which you want to display this content, uses managed navigation (I will show you how to import a term set to drive managed navigation later in this blog). By specifying a query in a Content Search Web Part that contains terms from your managed navigation term set, you can display indexed items that are associated with each term. To do this, a field in the .xml file has to have the same value as a term in the term set that drives your managed navigation. In our sample .xml file, the field ItemCategoryText contains this value. This value specifies to which term in the term set the entry belongs. For example, for the item with the title "Contoso series2", the value for ItemCategoryText is "Cameras". So, when users navigate to the "Cameras" page on the publishing site, the Content Search Web Part can display all entries that have the value "Cameras" for ItemCategoryText (I will show you how to specify the query in the Content Search Web Part later in this blog).
Now that you have some sample .xml content, you will need to crawl this content.
To see the crawled properties, click on the category name.
Now that you have crawled properties for the .xml content, you have to create a managed property for the field ItemCategoryText. You will use this managed property when you define the query in a Content Search Web Part.
Verify the mapping by searching for the managed property ItemCategoryText, and see that it is mapped to ItemCategoryText property.
In order to add the new managed property to the search index, you have to do an incremental of the content source.
The .zip file also includes a bigger product set, containing 800 items.
As you now have a custom XML connector that works:
You have now crawled the xml document from your local drive, created and mapped the proper managed property (ItemCategorytext) to the field Itemcategirytext in the xml file, and indexed it.
This blog post ends here.

The Ending
We roll through the fun roads of the Southern Arizona mountains, but as the roads drop elevation and straighten out across the desert the misery index is dialed up.
Border Patrol Check Point - I've always been waved right through with no problems.
I-10 to Tucson, UGHHH!
We hop off for an ice cream break. Nikki is hanging tough, and is ready to get rolling again quickly.
There's no way we're staying on I-10 all the way to Phoenix.
The highway through Florence is more scenic and never has much traffic, but traffic lights abound getting through the suburbs of Tucson.
We have dinner in Mesa with a black and white bear, while we allow feeling to return to our posteriors.
Finally, we near home as the setting sun tries to blind us. We live at the base of that mountain on the right.
That's a MONSTER day for Nikki's first Adventure. Prior to this trip she had only been on the back of a motorcycle for a few short rides in town. The last part of the ride was pretty hot and miserable, even for me. The following day she agrees to go again soon on a multiple day ride.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I hope you enjoyed our little ride.

May 11, 1999 MEN'S GOLF PREPARED TO DEFEND BIG TEN TITLE
Tournament Data: The Indiana University men's golf team will participate in 1999 Big Ten Men's Golf Championship on May 14-16, 1999. The tournament will be hosted by the University of Minnesota and will be played at Les Bolstad/University of Minnesota Golf Course. The par 71 course covers 6,514 yards. There will be 36 holes to be played on Friday, and 18 holes to be played on Saturday and Sunday.
The Hoosiers: The Hoosiers are the defending Big Ten Championships, winning last year's title in East Lansing, MI., by three stokes over Ohio State.
IU is coming off a 11th place finish at the Wolverine Invitational. Last week the Hoosiers fired rounds of 300, 301 and 297 for a total of 898. Senior Brent Landry was the Hoosiers' top finisher, closing the tournament in a tie for 12th place with a total of 218 (76-70-72).
Coach Mike Mayer will take the same line-up as last week. Landry (74.4), Steve Wheatcroft (74.4), John Barry (75.5), Corey Sullivan (76.6) and Rich Thomas (77.9).
Mayer said the course the tournament is played on allows for low scores and that opens the tournament up for all the teams. "The course requires low numbers to win," he said. "With so many good teams, the field is going to be very competitive."
Mayer also said that he expects his team to be ready to defend their title, and that his players are prepared to play. "We need to play better as a team, and have all five players shoot low numbers," he continued.

Surgical decompression is the traditional treatment for acute colorectal cancer obstruction. In recent years, colorectal stenting has been used to relieve the obstruction. This study used meta-analytic techniques to compare colonic stenting versus surgical decompression for colorectal cancer obstruction.
A comprehensive search of several databases was conducted. The search identified 321 potential abstracts and titles of which eight randomized trials involving 353 patients were retrieved in full text. A meta-analysis of the studies included was carried out to identify the differences in outcomes between the two procedures.
The pooled analysis showed no significant differences for mortality (odds ratio (OR) 0.91) and morbidity (OR 2.05) rates between the two strategies while the permanent stoma creation rate was significantly higher in the surgical group as compared to the stent group (OR 3.12). By comparing surgery and colonic stenting in studies which analyzed the use of stenting as a "bridge to surgery," the pooled analysis showed that primary anastomosis was more frequent in the stent group as compared to the surgical group (OR 0.42), and the stoma creation was more frequent in the surgical group as compared to the stent group (OR 2.36).
Our study suggested that, in patients with acute colorectal cancer obstruction, stent placement improved several outcomes, such as primary anastomosis, stoma formation, and permanent stoma, while it failed to show an improvement in mortality and morbidity risk.

By Frank Lewis
It was another great Scioto County Fair. The weather cooperated. The rides ran well. The 4-H kids got to show off their talents, and Joyce and I took in the Demolition Derby. Joyce enjoys it more than I do, but anything we do together is fun, and we had a great time.
I said all that to say this - the second hand smoke was atrocious. It is no wonder Scioto County is 88th in health rankings in Ohio. I think the number of people who smoke is larger than the 36 percent recorded in the statistics.
I stopped into the Southern Ohio Medical Center tent at the fair and saw a jar filled about halfway up with a black substance. It was explained that that much tar is in your lungs if you smoke half a pack a day for a month. Unfortunately most people smoke more than that. In fact, one woman seated next to me smoked that much while the Demolition Derby was going on.
I am wondering now if we need to rethink things and find some designated smoking area maybe out by the back fence that runs parallel to the railroad but nowhere near where the kids are with their animals. They don't need second hand smoke either.
Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. Cigarette smoking kills more than 480,000 Americans each year, with more than 41,000 of these deaths from exposure to secondhand smoke. In addition, smoking-related illness in the United States costs more than $289 billion a year, including at least $133 billion in direct medical care for adults and $156 billion in lost productivity.
However, people smoking is really none of my business except when I am unwittingly subjected to it. I know there are those who will say, "then don't go to the Demolition Derby," and that is an option. I would just rather see some changes made in which non-smokers are not forced to inhale second hand smoke in order to enjoy the entertainment.
The Demolition Derby, especially the third event, was fun. It is great family entertainment, and the Scioto County Fair Board is to be commended for another great year at the fair. It is the most fun anyone can have for $8.

I updated the rules. Now there are all infos you need to enter the COW successfully
In case you need more infos about the rules, follow the link beneath the rules image. I hope we will have less misunderstandings now, also the act of posting and setting up the poll has been optimized. Just follow the instructions and all is fine
What i want you to do is:
1. Take 1 thumbnail from the entries of the 100th round (actually there should be enough for your choice ) You can use your own or someone elses...
Here is the thread with all images:
2. Paste it 1:1 on your canvas. Add the line "Original Creature Design by artistsname" and the theme and thumbnail number next to it.
3. Make a fully rendered big version of the chosen creature with a new angle and/or pose!!! No tracing!
4. Stick to the original design and whatever you can spot at the thumbnail (colors, pattern, shape etc), but feel free to add details, as long as they don't change the creature design and inital look from the thumbnail.
Beneath is a sample, how it should look like...

This is a really interesting topic and departure from the way COW usually works.
God, I don't know which one I would pick. I just can't do one of mine, it wouldn't be as fun or probably as much of a challenge... Hmmmmm.

Fun fun fun. I'll have to do some searching for the critter I like best.
The title of this thread threw me, at first.
November 19th, 2007 #8
nice method on this one... the "approved thumbnail" to refined finished illustration is a good working approach to this sort of thing too. Looks like I'm down since I have some thumbnails to choose from...
fozzybar, when it comes to working from someone else's thumbnail I think the artist wanting to do it should get the original artist's permission first. Just a simple courtesy pm would do the trick, and/or a credit "Concept thumbnail by SomeDude99", etc.
I wonder if SomeDude99 is a member on the forum...

And as it comes to the permission...i am not sure, but i think every artist who participated would be proud of having another artist picking his thumbnail and working it out....
If any artist doesn't want this, he shall post here...and if you want to go for sure ask the artist via pm...

EDIT: Ignore the "pass"... change of heart. PM me with a heads-up if possible so I can look for it. This is all posted later in the thread, but figured I'd update this as well, since it appears first.
Best of luck to all who do participate!
P.S. - Hey, Fozz... you could probably string this theme along for at least another month... there are certainly enough designs to choose from!

What i forgot is the concept text...
It will be funnier to let the artists come up with an interpretation of the thumbnails and build up their big version on their interpretation.
In the poll thread the original thumbnails artists can add their idea...that could be interesting...

fozzy, can we also use any of the pretty thumbnails that never actualy got into the finals? or is final versions only?
November 19th, 2007 #22
Myself, I'm leaning strongly towards this Giant Tree Eater by longshao. I like its elephantine-ness, its Helicoprion-like tusks, and its odd patches of green and purple fur. I really don't know if I'll be able to go through with this round, though. I have school work to do, as well as Christmas pictures to get started on (being the talented one in the family sometimes sucks ). I may just have to try, though.

In the case anyone thinks of using a creature of mine for this task, don't bother to ask. Just send me an elephant, and you can use any single one of my COW#100-creatures.... Yes, even the good ones! It is true!
Please send the elephant to:

Dude. Did you just post your street address on the internets? Do you want weidros like me showing up at your door?
I'm not sending an elephant... but the flying rainbow turtles of death are on the way.
I haven't decided which creature I will do, but I've narrowed it down to seven or eight contenders. I'm looking for something mostly that I would never think to design myself.

I'm reconsidering my earlier "pass" statement... not that anyone would want to use them, but there's a fine line between "merciful" and "stingy"... I dunno.
EDIT: Reconsidered... go for it. PM for heads-up would be nice, if possible.
Assuming I decide to participate, if I do decide to go with someone else's concept, I'll probably grab one of Cloister's or M. Jaecks' - my vote and runner-up. Or I may take a fellow zero-voter's thumbnail, as there will most likely be a ton of top-fiver concepts coming up in full res. As such, if you hate toon/anime style or novice-level digital painting, speak now or risk thumbnailicide™.
pld: <-- Thumbie go BOOM!
I do have another project that I want to focus on, but there's that whole Thanksgiving thing coming up... or as I call it, "day off day".

How many artists are ok with other people drawing their creatures? Just want to know for sure. I PM'ed Jakkas but he might be too swamped to reply.
Just want to know for sure before I massacre someone's awesome creature design

Perhaps you have, or perhaps you don't even know what a troll is in this context.
Many people suffer miserably at the hands of these weird individuals however, and here's an account of one such case and here's some background information for those who don't know about on-line trolls.
If it's happened to you, or to someone you know, we would be interested to hear about it.

The only trolls I know about are in 'Lord of The Rings'...but they were big creatures, and did not go on the internet much!
Bacon's 'Gnat's' is a much more appropriate term to use...pesky little blighters.

FE, I did read the BBC article on Bacon, the ex-Blue Peter presenter, it's not nice that he has been targeted for this personal abuse...but, the Internet is not conjuicive to 'peace of mind' nirvana when anybody goes online...hence all of the commercial security software programs that abound.

You're totally missing the point. No software application in the world can protect you from an internet troll.

As I would never dream of using Facebook (fear of them keeping personal stuff) nor Twitter (Who cares what most Twitter users are doing?) I hope to avoid such creatures. The sick minds that do this sort of thing should be permanently banned from the internet - if that were possible - as well as other appropriate punishment.

No I haven't thankfully, I realise old Bingalau may look like one but he is harmless ;o}
"Most trolling is not criminal - it's about having a laugh, says Rob Manuel, co-founder of the website B3ta, which specialises in altering photographs for comic effect. "Trolling taps into people's desire to poke fun, make trouble and cause annoyance," he says. "
Being serious, if people think like this then I am not at all surprised it is happening! Having said that, I do not use any social networking sites or live on a mobile.

No, but if I did, they'd get more back than they could possibly give!

"You only have to read any Peter Hitchens column to see how people get the idea that it is OK to be abusive to people."
Yes, but when it comes to online abuse there's a difference. Newspapers and magazines generally don't publish anything without at least knowing who the author(s) of an item is/are. That goes for online articles and blogs, as well as print media.
Internet trolls inhabit web forums, and as everyone here knows, there's little the site's owners can do unless they operate a reasonably robust post moderation policy,as we do here. Lots of sites appear to have little in the way of moderation, or the moderators don't have much interest in controlling the content. Either way, trolls largely get away with what they do, both in forums and on social networks.
How can it be stopped, or at least controlled? I don't have the answer to that, but it appears to be a growing problem, and we need to do something.

Quickbeam "..they'd get more back than they could possibly give!"
But how on earth would you know who was doing it - that is the point?

Martin Jol has warned Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy he won't be pushed around.
Jol knows he's fighting for his future at White Hart Lane. But, grilled by supporters at a special event held in Enfield last night, the manager told fans he is determined to stay even if it means taking a seat next to them in the stands.
Jol said: "I was very disappointed with what happened but I have moved on. I promise I'm not going anywhere. I have two years left on my contract and I would like to think that I will see those years out.
"I told the chairman [Daniel Levy] that if I'm not sitting in the dug-out I will be sitting in the stands as a fan because that's what I am. He won't get rid of me that easily.
"I used to wave at the fans quite quickly when they sang my name, but now I leave it a while so the board can see and hear it."

Three members of a music band were booked on charges of cheating Australian pacer Brett Lee.
Mumbai: Three members of a music band were on Friday booked on charges of cheating Australian pacer Brett Lee, nearly a fortnight after a city court directed the police to investigate a complaint regarding non-payment of Rs 10 lakh to him for a concert held here last year.
"An FIR has been registered against Arundhati Deshmukh, Ameya Naik and Vignesh Vishwanth, all members of music band 'M Majors', over non-payment of dues of Rs 10 lakh to Lee," Padmakar Juikar, Senior Inspector at MRA Marg Police Station, told PTI.
The trio has been booked under IPC Sections 420 (cheating) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), Juikar said.
On February 14, a Metropolitan Court had directed the police to investigate the complaint lodged by Next Level Media Communications (NLMC), which represents Lee in Mumbai, over non-payment of dues to the Australian cricketer.
According to the complaint, an orchestra had been arranged at a mall in suburban Malad in May last year where Lee performed along with the music band. However, after the event, where Lee sang, the agreed amount was not paid to him.

I am looking for a computer with keyboard and mouse (maybe even mousepad and tower if possible) With searching this thread I have not been able to find any previous requests for one but I could be wrong.
If anyone knows of a free version of a desktop computer that is free then I would really appreciate a link.
Also, I just remembered that I would also like a monitor lifter. I'm not sure what they are called but they are boxes with built in keyboard trays or just a platform for a monitor.
Thank you everyone! This thread is wonderful!
