This tea is no longer available and has been archived. There are no current plans to offer it again in the future.
Chrysanthemum and pu'er are one of the most classic pairings at teahouses, and dim sum shops across China. Chrysanthemum is a perfectly bright, crisp and sweet balance to the earthy notes of pu'er. We thought it would be fun to take this classic and make it into a subtle, comforting and complex cold weather companion. This is the result of our blending experiments.
We start with the perfectly smooth, thick sweet Xingyang 2007 Shu, and bring out its natural clean sparkle with chrysanthemum. Then we work to bind teh chrysanthemum more solidly with juniper berries playing off the warming / cooling sensation of the pu'er. Coriander, burdock and holy basil strengthen the natural depth of the tea without overwhelming the blend.
Taken as a whole, this makes for great brewing in a gaiwan or in a big comforting mug. The sweet spice of coriander and burdock hit the tip of the tongue, then, the floral notes of chrysanthemum and holy basil linger in the back of the throat, making this a good soothing choice when you are under the weather.
We hope that you enjoy the first winner of our direct sourcing vote as much as we have. Thanks for giving us your feedback to make this tea a reality.
Ingredients: Xingyang 2007 Shu Pu'er, Burdock, Juniper Berries, Coriander, Holy Basil, Chrysanthemum
Date of Picking:May 11th, 2007

opinionBy Olu Obafemi
I had read snippets of her profile, or, if you prefer the term, her bio-data. Very impressive, at least, on the surface. Oftentimes, Curriculum Vitae are not the best yardsticks for evaluating and assessing and individual, especially those in highbrow pedestals, with professional image launderers and profile etchers, with cryptic hands for embellishing sweet nothings.
Even at that, there was enough to compel attention to this vivacious and charismatic lady, as I discovered of her later, on live encounter. And, given the (dis) reputation of Nigerian First Ladies, at all levels of the intrusion on the national psyche, it was wise not be swept off one's feet by well-etched bio-data. But, as I said, there was something different in the profile of the wife of the Ekiti State Governor.
Highlights of these regard her birth, education, career, self-drive, life perception and envisioned goals. Erelu Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi was born in England, Liverpool, nearly a Golden years ago.She went to school in Nigeria, AbeokutaGirls Grammar School and Methodist High School, Lagos and went to the University of Ife for her Undergraduate and Graduate studies, emerging with a Bachelor and Master of Arts Degrees in History. She went back to the United Kingdom to earn another Masters Degree from the University of Middlesex in Gender and Society.
Degrees or formal education become lifeless if unapplied to life, career and environment. A deeper search into her life shows that she has cultivated anfar-sighted career, in aspiration and in reality, as to what niche she must carve for herself as an educated young woman in a male- dominated social culture. She caught her teeth, back in England, in women activism and the development of her gender as aNigerian and an African female intellectual. After working briefly, therefore, in the service of Health and Social Services Department in the United Kingdom, she devoted the rest of her career life, thus far in women and gender development activities, NGOs and humanitarian activism.
This propelled her into the Directorship of Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) an international organization on development of African women located in London with an African regional office in Kampala Uganda, a position which she deployed to tremendous advantage, establishing the African Women's Leadership Institute to create a forum for training and networking for young women of Africa, with over five hundred young women across Africa benefitting from the Institute--women who now occupy strategic leadership positions in their various countries.
Her work in civil and rights organizations fruited in her co-founding the African Women's Development Fund (AWDF), a novel grant-giving Fund to support and promote the efforts of women's rights in Africa. It is put out that AWDF has grant-aided over 800 women's organizations in 42 African nations, galvanizing grass-root initiatives and strategic policies in aid of social justice and the rights of women. Her intimidating profile of gender, cultural and development activism speaks for her global citizenship and commitment to humanizing the women category of the human species, with specific reference to African women. It needs not take the confined space of this column.
Suffice it to state that for her contribution to rights issues, negotiating a space for the African women in Africa and on the international scene and her social justice activism, she has been amply recognized and rewarded. At home, the students of her Alma Mater (OAU) decorated her with the Distinguished Alumni Award of the Faculty of Arts. She received the Achievers Award from the International Summit in the year 2006 for her effort in promoting positive change in Africa.
From the United States of America she was honoured with the notable 'Changing the face of Philanthropy' award of the Women's Funding Network and the dame Nita Barrow Distinguished Visitorship from the University of Toronto, among others.Perhaps the one that latched, most unpeelably, to her social skin is the honorary chieftaincy title as the Erelu of the kingdom of Isan in Oye-Ekiti. There is also the honorific titleas the Ochiora (Leader of the people)of Imezi Owa of Ezeagwu Local Government of Enugu State.
More germane to her compulsive drive effort to support her effort to bring land-marking development to Ekiti State in the area of cultural industry, Erelu Bisi Fayemi was appointed the Chairperson of a 50-member technical Committee on culture, arts and tourism development. It is within the penumbra of this committee entrenched to deploy the arts in the service of the socio-economic transformation of Ekiti-State that I met her for the first time.
I had been invited as a Guest Speaker on the occasion of the First Ekiti State Annual festival of Culture and the Arts. It was quitea difficult invitation to honour, having t come all the way from Jos at a time when our Schedules at the National Institute were quite tight. Yet I could not turn this invitation down for a number of reasons, important among which was the fact that it was the first of such fiestasorganized by any State of the Federation in an effort to centralize culture in the vortex of socio-economic development.
This is a project I had seized any and every available platform to canvas and crusade for. It was difficult to excuse myself from this positive initiative. Unfortunately, the reception I initially received almost made me regret coming. Not much was ready and the arrangement for the event was tentative.
I was going to return to Jos but for the timely intervention of the other lead speaker, a retired Professor from the OAU and one whom I have a lot of respect for, in addition to the entireties of my younger colleague, Ojo Rasaki Bakare, Professor of Dance at the new Federal University, at Oye-Ekiti. Hindsight, it would have been regrettable indeed, had I left without meeting the Chairperson of the occasion, whose dominant initiative the whole project was.
What struck me first on meeting Erelu was a combination of magnetism, charisma, warm in the midst of disarming humility, down-to-earth-ness and alluring simplicity. What also took me unaware was her sharp intellect and verbal eloquence.
It was for me a rewarding encounter.

like i've been waitingg
Posted May 1st, 2013 at 07:27 AM by Forever
i just get this feeling like i've been waiting for 2013 my whole life, like 2013, life is finally going to start where it's meant to be. all the mistakes of the past are long over, and while i still make mistake snow, i have a whole lot more knowledge than i did back then. after 2012 being so bad, 2013 just going so right feels so great, sure i get annoyed by things but i for 99% of the time am very happy with life. im in a way proving who i am to myself, in so many ways, and there's so many more positives than negatives that i can find, in everything i'm doing. in a way i am doing everything i wanted to do, and soon i'll be able to do it all on a larger level, and have everything even more awesome. i'm not sure if 2013 will be better than 2011/2010 but you don't know, it could be even better. idk, but maybe that doesn't matter anymore. years don't need to be better than others, as long as i feel great, everything is great, and i experience a lot. also, in uni i got 9/10 for one of the photos i took! :3 in another class i think i barely passed but it involves using black and white film and literally developing it and i suck at technology and actual machines soooo i only aspire to pass that one, but i aim to do really well in my other classes! but to know that it just isn't in my head and that i can actually get good grades, that's the awesome thing. i look forward to finishing and seeing what else the future holds, i look forward to july, i look forward to leaving the past in the past and having new experiences and letting destiny run its course.
i think das all.

As if running through mud wasn't enough fun, we have a few other things planned to make this an event to remember!

A valid ID and a signed copy of your waiver for check in. Download a waiver here.
Change of clothes. Bring a fresh set of comfortable clothes (including shoes) to change into after your wave. Don't forget to include a plastic bag (to stash your muddy gear), waterproof sunscreen (sunburn and mud are not a good look) and a towel to dry off.

A camera. These are pretty awesome memories you'll want to remember and share! We'll also have professional photographers throughout the course capturing all the dirty details.

Friends and family! We'll have lots of places for them to cheer you on, take photos and add to the day's excitement.

Jewelry. We'd hate for your priceless family tiara to get lost in the mud!
Pets. Really, who wants to drive home with a wet, muddy dog?

On your life planning, it is sooo difficult. I spent the first year putting things on hold and pausing my life in anticipation of being pregnant, it didn't happen!! You can't do that indefinitely sometimes you just gave to get on with things and the baby arrives when it's ready! The other thing to consider is do you want to study with a new baby, sleepless nights and maybe breast feeding? It may be easier to get on with it now. Nobody can rely advise you on this though it's your choice and there be pluses and minuses with each choice. In the positive side it may make a baby come along!!! They seem to appear at inconvenient times ;-)
Ilovemykiddos- what an agonising wait!! I hope you find some nice things to do to distract yourself until you have more clarity.
Adie- nice to hear from you. Hope you are doing ok, small steps, don't rush yourself. Are you getting lots of support at home?
Chuord- keep the end in mind, that gorgeous baby be worth all the injections/shots.
Siuann- I am actually trying to finish my Master's before I have a baby (I am taking 2 classes now, 1 in the spring May-June, 1 in the summer June-July, 1 in the fall September-December) and than I graduate a year from May. I don't mind being pregnant during this time- would actually prefer it.
I understand what you mean about the importance of timing.....
Been trying to keep myself busy this weekend.....
Me 28, DH 31 , 2 Kitties and working towards having Baby #1.
"The past has no power over the present moment." Eckhart Tolle
I looked up the beta pregnancy test online and may be able to get it intime.
I still feel nauseous. I'm having cramp like or stretching feeling. So not sure what that means.
I would call and ask to have an appointment after the two days. Tell them your concerns. I don't know if your doctor was thinking negatively. You could also ask. You've paid enough money and put yourself through enough to be able to ask questions and make requests. Hugs again!
I'm so sad. I want a take home baby.
Girls, I am starting to feel a little impulsive, and since we're on the subject of timing, I need advice. I've been waiting until May to ttc in hopes vitex will continue to help (this is my third cycle on it, also taking raspberry leaf but will stop when ttc). I also wanted to wait until May because I am a teacher and taking masters courses and I want to be in my low-stress summer so I can lounge around and help my baby stick tight. The only problem is....I actually want to just ttc right now. It has been a year since my last mc and I think my body has healed and changed. On the other hand, I am a little scared and wonder if I should just wait anyway. I know there are pros and cons either way, just throwing it out there because you all understand and it is on my mind (constantly.) Glad to see everyone is pulling through today and hear from Adie. ilovemykiddos, I agree with the others. Ask to be seen sooner.

Hi all,
@adiejan- I'm so sorry. Crazy how strong people on this thread can be.
@Xerxella- Have fun @ Disney! You asked about protocol, here it is: 112.5 Follistim at night, then 5 nights of Cetrotide 0.25 mixed w the Follistim, Ovidrel trigger and Progesterone tablets.
AFM: Started shots one day early due to AF coming immediately after getting off BCPs. Had first shot 2/28, this morn had U/S & BW. Tonight will be fourth night of Follistim.
BW/US #s:
Estrildol at 50
Progesterone at 1.03
Follices: 5-10 on left side, same amount on right, all <12
The nurse said "you're where we expect you to be." Hopefully that sounds right to everyone on this thread who knows such things, haha.
@NaturallyMo- I'm in the IVF Waiting to O category! Thanks :)

Ilovemykiddos - when ttc gets too hard, fall back to the 'one day at a time' rule - that's how I'm coping (lol ish) just focus on getting the next test done, then start thinking on the next one... 'Preservation of the mum's sanity while ttc' is the key.
Maine baby - woohoo you seem right on track, I found out on day 9 that they trigger a little earlier with ivf (18-20 follies) when I did iui it was 19-21. Your protocol is very similar to what mine has been... Follistim (gonal), cetritide, and I had a pregnyl hcg trigger (last night) egg numbers are looking good for you too.
Ladies with ivf experience, apparently after ER I'm taking estrogen, progesterone tablets, progesterone pessaries, (crinone after transfer) and the clexane for up to week 11 - is that normal protocol?
Me (33) - DH (39) - DS (6) - DS (3months)
I blog: allthingsandlife.blogspot.com
I took another first response early response and still a line. Dh says it looks a little darker to him. I took it 30 min ago so obviously not fresh urine.
So...my car was hit no fault of my own so dealing with the ins may be a good thing because it will keep me busy.
@ilovemykiddos - it's weird how even a bad thing can be handy to take your mind off of things sometimes! I'm still sorry to hear that you have to deal with car things, too, though... I don't know too much about tests, but darker is better!!
@chuord - I think that's normal? I've got Crinone and vivelle patches (estrogen) that I started the day after ER - they didn't tell me how long, but I think to the 12 week point is normal. I kind of hope not, though - now that I've adjusted, the patches are OK, but the Crinone is a bit irritating to my skin (I react to everything..), and I'd like a break from that! I have heard that some people are able to discontinue earlier... I hope to be one of those!
to everyone waiting for things - do it! :) though I guess that's heavily colored by my perspective. I have perhaps too much patience, and tend to wait if I have the chance. I certainly wish we'd started TTC sooner, and that we'd realized our MF stuff sooner..
I scared DH when I told him that if the test came back positive on Saturday I would actually already be a month pregnant. We'll need to make a lot of changes before we actually have a kid (we'll need to move, hopefully buy a house, I should get a new car, he'd like to get a job that isn't over 100 miles away from the area we want to live in AND there's all the usual baby-prep stuff..) so he figures we need as much time as we can get! Oh, and I want to visit my brother in Utah, and maybe a friend in San Francisco...
DH(38) + I(37) have been working on collaborative project #1 for 6 years, fighting more battles than I ever imagined. 2/2014 - IVF cycle = ! born 11/2014
I've been passing out at 9:30 each night so I figured I would post before I head to bed. Tested this evening before my little's soccer practice and got a positive OPK test. I guess this means we have some ovulation going on. DH has a show tonight so I told him to make sure he wakes me up when he comes to bed at 11. Hopefully I can wake up so we can DTD. Sorry if I don't sound excited but I am exhausted LOL

Got 14 eggs - will find out tomorrow re fertilization, a little tender but not bad at all...
Fx for you all xxx
Hi y'all. I was regularly stalking the last thread, but stayed pretty quiet . I'm not gonna try and catch up to everyone, but I have been thinking of each of you!
@adiejan - so sorry for your loss. It's been a long road, hey? Hugs to you.
@Xerxella - Disney world? I hate you.
@chuord - damn, girl! That's a lotta eggs
AFM: All quiet on the home front. I have an appointment with my GP on Saturday to get a requisitions for the boatload of blood test our consultant has recommended. Some of them are cycle dependent, and my period is due in the next couple of days, so I'm hoping that will work out nicely. So that will probably take the best part of this month to get through. Then, hopefully in April we will be able to send off the rest of our US testing, and have a full review, and get our plan of attack. Just gotta keep busy until then!

We need to call in about 13 hours to find out which ones fertilized... Am guessing there'll be an update again on Friday... And so on, transfer will be Monday assuming there's done goodies there...
@chuord - Wow, 14 eggs, that's wonderful!! GL with fertilization, can't wait to hear. What date did you start your cycle? It's always nice to hear from people who are doing a similar med protocol. Our ER could be Tues. 3/11 if follies keep on track ;). After ER I'm only taking progesterone tablets, but I'm sure if your Dr. wants you on that many things he/she has a good reason, as annoying as it is.
@ilovemykiddos - Sorry about the car accident! Hope everything goes smoothly with insurance.
AFM: Still doing same Follistim dosage; next US & BW Fri morn. First acupuncture appt yesterday & loved it! Made me feel like I was floating; felt like I could feel the blood flowing through my body, lol! Got one bruise from it right under my belly button, but I think I just bruise easily close to the belly button since that's the only place I've bruised with the Follistim. Went for my first massage ever right after acupuncture, too! Awesome day.
GL to all!
@chuord- sounds like a very successful cycle so far! This has to be it for you. I'm very hopeful. I was on crinone & vivelle patches with my 2nd ivf, I did much better on the pills than the patches. They have you stick to 12 weeks bc that is when the placenta takes over production. I'd be weary to stop before that as with IVF you may not have a strong corpus luteum cyst making progesterone and have had friends miscarry when their doctors said they could stop the progesterone sooner. The estrogen they say you can stop bc it just reduces the chance of early bleeding (which they say has no effect on pregnancy outcome, just reduces the stress caused by seeing blood). I personally won't stop either until 12 weeks bc I am a worry wart (rightfully so, I think). The clexane I am not familiar with… is that a steroid? Again I think miscarriage risk is higher until the placenta takes over so if it is a steroid they would want to prevent your body from attacking the embryo, which at 12 weeks is a lower chance once the baby is working for itself? Not clear on that one, just my opinion. Can't wait to hear your results!
@Milk8shake - Hi lovely! I am so glad to see you are starting with a plan of attack and that you are back and updating us. It is an exhausting process and sometimes checking in is a reminder of how long we have been around these parts. We are the lone rangers from way back when, right? Let's make a pact that 2014 is the last year we will get poked with needles and ultrasound wands (without them showing us a living baby). Okay?
@Autumnlaughing Are you going to test early or waiting for your blood test? You ended up putting back 1 or 2? What did they freeze? Sorry, I've been reading along but I'm having trouble remembering details. You will have plenty of time in 8 months to get all the things you want to done and if not, you'll have a baby to exhaust you for years after so it won't matter!
@mainebaby Is this your first IVF cycle? Acupuncture is amazing, best nap you can get and its good for you! Good Luck & Enjoy!
@NaturallyMo Enjoy ovulation time! Hope you were able to wake up enough to make it happen.
@ilovemykiddos The waiting is true torture. The test getting darker is a good sign. 18 is low for 15 dpiui but it is possible you had late implantation. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
I saw my surgeon Monday. He said that when I had my LAP 2 years ago the endometriosis was extensive and very inflammatory so it is possible that over time it has returned. It doesn't help that with IVF twice I feel like there is scar tissue. Theres discomfort around my left ovary all the time.
We have a lot of things to consider right now. RE wants to do a fresh IVF cycle with PGD but we have 2 embryos frozen. I am trying to decide whether to do lupron for a few months and when to plan on doing a frozen transfer or doing a fresh cycle or whether to say screw it all and do donor eggs or embryos or use a carrier. In some ways I don't want to think about or plan for anything and in other ways I just want to know what I should do and be able to make a plan. I guess my only update at this point is I'm doing another LAP to remove scar tissue and endo. In hopes that at least it will make me more comfortable on a daily basis. I'm not sure it will do anything do help my fertility or miscarriages but at least the pain will be gone.
@toothfairy2be - Yes this is my first IVF cycle. We've been trying for 8 yrs, but never had the $ to do IVF til now (no carrier in Maine offers IVF coverage). GL with your LAP, hopefully it relieves your daily discomfort!!
Milk, Tf2B - Good to see you both pop up again! I love you both to pieces, and I don't think I'll ever quit haunting these boards until you ladies graduate! Milk, glad you're getting ready to move forward, and I really, really hope you can find some answers. Tf2B - I hope you can figure out the right direction to go. Having so many choices can be good and bad, I guess. I forgot, have you done any testing on the babies you miscarried? Have you and your dh been tested for chromosomal issues, like translocations?
Everyone else - still reading and cheering. I do still plan to start a grads thread eventually, but it looks like I would be lonely there right now, so I'm going to wait... hopefully we will see several BFPs in the upcoming weeks!!
Monkey (31) + Pirate (28) = a forever family (5/10) - Baby Bird (8/12), our long-awaited first, one (9/13 @ 7w 6d), and Baby Yummy (10/6/14)
Tootfairy - thanks!!! I know you've tried a variety of ways so your info is invaluable do you know no one had explained to me the reasons why the progesterone and estrogen supps - if I know why it's soo much easier to just do it lol. (My issue was I got a letter from the re stating that both my estrogen and progesterone levels last month were excellent - hence the confusion) so thank you for explaining that for me I'm on 8 provera and 8 progynova tablets a day + 4 progesterone pessaries or crinone - so I think that'll be enough lol.
The clexane is a blood thinner, because I had over 10 eggs and high estrogen (2700 cd9) (also apparently on the high dose estrogen tablets) so there is more chance of DVT and clotting, the clexane is the preventative, and I'm also taking baby asprin.
Here's to your lap cleaning everything out and leaving you pain free - the best place to be regardless. I'm hoping you are able to step back after the lap and find the space and peace in which to find your answers - monkey Is right, soo many choices doesn't make it any easier... I can't wait till the day you post an ultrasound pic of you live one growing
Monkey - how are you going with it?
Omg - I'm happy right now lol
chuord - That is AWESOME! Grow, embies, grow!
AFM, still dealing with a lot of nausea/reflux/general crappiness. Also realizing that this will most likely be our last biological child, as I can't really put my family through this again. I had my first mw appointment, but didn't get to hear the heartbeat (it was early, 8w2d, but we heard it clearly then with my son), so still waiting for that. I'm definitely growing, though, and feel at peace about this baby for now. :)

Over the weekend, Star-News reporter Janette Williams wrote about the new headquarters for contemporary performing arts troupe Lineage Dance. After 10 years of performing in and around the city, the group now has a permanent, 2,700-square foot space in Old Pasadena.
It's the second space dedicated to modern dance and choreography to open in recent months in Pasadena. The Pennington Dance Group's ARC ("A Room to Create") Pasadena studio opened in April.
Photographer Keith Birmingham checked in at the new Lineage studio and caught some of the dancers rehearsing for the gala opening of the center.

The presence of rheumatoid factor leads to an over-estimation of the vWF level. The extremely rare presence of anti-bovine albumin and/or anti-rabbit antibodies in certain subjects may lead to an over-estimation of the vWF level.
Individuals of blood group "O" may have lower plasma von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF) levels than those of non-O blood groups. Normal individuals of blood group "O" may have plasma vWF antigen levels as low as 45-55% NPP. The lower limit of the reference interval for individuals of non-O blood groups may be 60-70% NPP. Plasma vWF antigen levels may be increased in acute phase reaction conditions. All vWF antigen results should be interpreted in the context of the clinical setting for each patient.

Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite T235D-S1345RD
Source: CNet
Back when thin-and-light laptops were all the rage in 2009, a surprise contender for the most affordable thin 13-inch laptop came from Toshiba. The Toshiba Satellite T235D-S1345 is a solid, slim, and affordable 13-inch tweener laptop for ultraportable computing; however, in a landscape filled with thinner and faster alternatives, it no longer stands alone.
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 08/18/2010
Rating: Total score: 70% performance: 70% features: 80% mobility: 80%
ATI Radeon HD 4225: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) that is able to decode HD videos (thanks to the UVD2). Technically a slower clocked HD 4250.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
K625: Dual Core Entry level CPU for small subnotebooks on a performance level with the SU7300 Intel Core 2 Duo.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.8 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

Intel accelerates virtual-desktop plans
- Related Stories
Next-gen VMware software to get memory boostDecember 21, 2004
For Intel, the future has two coresSeptember 7, 2004
Vanderpool essentially divides the resources inside a single PC or server so that it can function like two or more independent machines. Virtualization technology like this is already common in the server market, and Intel had plans to bring it to its Itanium chip this year.
Initially, Vanderpool wasn't slated to come to desktops until 2006. Now, it will come out in desktop chipsets and processors in 2005. The company also released a preliminary specification on Thursday.
Intel will also release dual-core processors later this year. Vanderpool dovetails with these types of chips. Dual-core processors are made to perform two separate functions at once: Virtualization software can help balance the computing needs of each processing core with the software and other hardware inside the box.
Vanderpool is part of a family of enhancements Intel has been adding to its chips to improve overall computing performance or versatility without necessarily increasing power consumption.
Hyperthreading, the first in the series of improvements, allows a chip to handle multiple functions at once. Another coming in the near future, called Active Management Technology, or AMT, will enable an administrator to shut down a PC remotely if it is spitting out viruses.

- Hyperthreading/AMT
- Hyperthreading isn't "doing two things at once." Current Pentiums already have been "dual core" in that they've had multiple execution units since the very first Pentium 1's. Unfortunately, Intel's design has resulted in one execution unit being stalled almost continuously. It's time for the media to stop repeating "hyperthreading is good, hyperthreading is good" over and over again, when in reality hyperthreading is attempting to cover an inherent flaw in the Intel processors.
Shutting down a PC remotely is the job of the operating system, and every single operating system in wide deployment supports a remote shutdown mechanism. On Windows NT, 2000 and XP, you need only turn on SNMP and use a standard tool that already exists and requires no processor changes to shut down a machine that is sending spam, etc. This is not something that belongs on the processor chip, and is something that has been supported by all major operatings systems for over a decade.
The ability to run two operating systems simultaneously may have some merit -- the bigger issue is going to be the dual processor core taxing the i/o lines and memory already. With two operating systems loaded simultaneously, the load on things such as disk drives, etc. will be a lot greater.
In my opinion, there is little or no value to this capability on consumer desktops. The value is to developers and QA departments, and to servers. Even there, users are going to demand applications that use both cores on the processor.
Long term, running two OSes simultaneously isn't going to be a win for the technology. Intel needs to refocus for desktop and workstation applications on getting their processors to stop stalling (AMD's stall much more rarely) and on getting their processors to run end user applications faster.
Virtualisation is not going to help applications perform faster -- what they are proposing means that you now have two operating systems needing to access data in different places on resources like hard drives, etc. at the same time.
This can only reduce performance, there's no mechanism by which it could improve it. And programs like VMWare can provide this capability already without needing the processor to support it, on existing chips, for those who actually need or would benefit from it.

- Interesting rant
- Are you refering to the "partial register stall", the "AGI stall" or something else? Even so, I doubt it is the number one concern at Intel. Don't forget that the P4 is dead (yay!) and the P-M (otherwise known as the P6 Phase II) is the future. Benchmarks show that a P-M runs close to the speed of the top P4s and AMD64s so once Intel speed up the P-Ms bus, add Hyperthreading(!) and rename it Intels problems are over.

Los Angeles (PRWEB UK) 14 August 2014
Chrome River, a leading provider of expense management and supplier invoice processing software, today announced survey results showing that a large majority of engineering professionals, 89 percent, cite lack of visibility as their biggest pain point with expense reporting. Respondents included 100 engineering professionals at the American Counsel of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Conferences around the United States in 2014.
"A lack of spend visibility can be costly to engineering firms since managers aren't able to negotiate more cost-effective travel arrangements, spot errors or fraud, or identify opportunities to negotiate preferred vendor relationships," said Alan Rich, co-founder and CEO of Chrome River. "Engineering firms must watch budgets and track spending very closely, which can be an arduous process that includes dividing expenses between multiple clients, managing billable vs. non-billable expenses and adhering to each client's individual expense management policies."
As cited by PayStream Advisors 2014 "Travel and Expense Management Technology (TEM) Insight" report, it is essential to have complete visibility into spending and access to detailed reports that allows administrators to increase the efficacy of their budgets and avoid costly errors. According to the same report, the survey respondents felt that providing improved visibility into spending was the number one benefit of implementing a TEM solution. The detailed reporting and analytics functions of a TEM solution give decision makers greater control, empowering them to reduce unnecessary spending and increase revenues.
Additional key findings include:

IF YOU constantly feel all the cars on the motorway are driving too fast or too slow, don't worry, it's probably an illusion. The speed at which you drive seems to skew your perception of the prevailing speed of traffic, even if you accurately judge the speed of each individual car.
The distortion is most pronounced for drivers who are going much faster or slower than average, Bryan Dawson of Union University in Jackson, Tennessee told the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, California, last week.
The illusion happens because drivers can only gauge the speed of the cars around them, not all the cars on the motorway, Dawson says. A driver going considerably faster than average will overtake many slow cars but will only be overtaken by a few fast cars, making the average speed seem lower than it really is. Conversely, a slow driver will feel that a ...

While I've seen improvement over the years, very few skin care products have landed on my desk and produced eye-opening results like Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK.
This liquid gem is formulated with five key ingredients: Kinetin, the brand's super anti-oxidant plant complex which exfoliates and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles; Sepivinol, a red wine extract that helps to prevent future aging; hyaluronic acid, a known natural moisturizer; Sephiwhite MSH, an inhibitor that blocks pigmentation and SymWhite, a potent lightener that targets UV-induced skin coloring.
While the blend instantly reads impressive, it only took two weeks of applying tiny drops to my face each morning post-cleansing to notice unblemished skin. Discoloration on my forehead and cheeks have lightened and my complexion is supple and radiant, making me feel more confident to step out sans cover-up.

analysisBy Albert Muriuki
Justice Joseph Nyamu yesterday delivered a landmark ruling that enhanced the doctrine of separation of powers that is at the heart of the Kenyan Constitution.
In his ruling on a case brought before the High Court by three legislators seeking to stop the sale of Safaricom, Justice Nyamu said the Judiciary had no powers to compel the Executive branch of government make a law operational once it has been passed by Parliament.
This means that Finance minister Amos Kimunya is free to sell Safaricom under the existing laws-that are in force.
Mr Kimunya has been under political pressure over his delay to make the Privatization Act -- which has received presidential assent -- operational and his Parliamentary colleagues had sued to stop Treasury from privatising this key subsidiary of Telkom Kenya that is expected to fetch Sh33 billion on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.
Anyang Nyong'o, one of the plaintiffs, argued that the minister was violating the doctrine of separation of powers by not bringing the Privatization Act into force.
"To my mind this argument is not tenable," said Justice Nyamu, as he stated that parliament gave the minister the discretion to determine or appoint a commencement date.
The Judge said that parliaments all over the world do this in situations where there are issues to be sorted out or arrangements, which must be put in place in order to have an effective implementation and enforcement of the law.
"This is purely an executive function. This is obviously the case here and the Minister for Finance has demonstrated that there are some necessary steps which must be taken before he appoints a date," said Justice Nyamu.
According to the Court, the minister was performing an executive function, which is protected by the Constitution.
"Parliament can only take that discretion away by enacting another law to provide for a commencement date," he said.
Giving a comparative analysis with the Constitution of the United States, the Court noted that the Kenyan Constitution does not provide for a rigid separation of powers, since in Kenya, the President is a both the head of the Executive and a member of Parliament.
"With respect the Minister has not therefore violated section 30 of the Constitution in that he has not legislated at all," said justice Nyamu, "Pending the coming into force of a law, the Executive organ of State must continue with its executive function as per the current law."
The court held that the applicable law in respect of the 25 per cent shares in Safaricom was under five laws, the Constitution, the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury Incorporation Act, the Companies Act, the Capital Markets Act and the Procurement of Assets Disposal Act 2005.
Under the Constitution, the Court held that the sale was being done in exercise of the Executive power vested in the Ministry of Finance.
Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, under State Corporations Act allows the Treasury to buy and sell assets, both movable and immovable on behalf of the public, the court held, stating that the Permanent Secretary Treasury had not been joined in the proceedings and the public entity which owns the shares, Telkom Kenya Limited, was also not enjoined.
"The Permanent Secretary to the Treasury Incorporation Act clearly provides that the Permanent Secretary is a Corporation capable of suing and being sued. The Minister is only concerned with policy and the necessary check on issues of policy is done by Parliament," he said.
Failure to join Telkom to the suit as described in the Act was "a fatal defect to any orders sought as regards shares," said justice Nyamu.
Concerning the date of commencement of the Privatization Act, the court ruled that was a matter of policy, which is well within the executive powers vested in the Executive under the Constitution and the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury Incorporation Act.
"Judicial review jurisdiction recognizes the need of good public administration and is not directed at executive policy unless, it is clearly demonstrated that an Act of Parliament is being violated. It has not been shown how the Minister violated the Act," said Justice Nyamu.
The Court held that the powers of government have been allocated by the Constitution to each organ as set out in the Constitutional provisions. Similarly checks and balances must be clearly spelt out in the law.
"The powers so alienated to the three organs are generally inalienable-which means one organ cannot transfer its function to another or exercise a power not allocated to it under the Constitution," said justice Nyamu.
"The power or discretion to bring the Privatization Act into operation was delegated to the Minister by Parliament and the Minister is exercising powers as a member of the Executive."

|Abstract for WP44
Western Hemlock: A Manual for Tree Improvement Seed Production
|Author or Ministry Contact: J.E. Webber
|Branch: Research
|Subject: Seeds and Pollen
|Series: Working Paper
|Other details: Published 2000.
The Forest Genetics Council has laid out objectives for western hemlock seedling requirements up to the year 2007. These objectives include goals for both the number of seedlings and their genetic worth. The only current practical options for meeting these objectives are seed production and a limited amount of bulking through rooted cuttings. Rooted cuttings technology is more costly and relatively new. Performance of seedlings from cuttings remains largely untested although cuttings/seedlings comparisons are in place. For the near future, seed production will be our prime source of reforestation propagules. This manual compiles information from the Ministry of Forests research program as well as other allied programs to make recommendations for seed orchard production of high genetic gain seed lots.
With our current operational seed production capabilities, meeting requirements for numbers of seedlings will be a relatively straightforward task. Meeting goals for genetic worth is more problematic, and will require innovation in two directions:
Western hemlock lends itself easily to the first of these innovations because it is one our easiest conifer species to manage. The species (1) grafts well, (2) has crowns that are easily pruned for management as well as seed and pollen cone development, (3) is among the easiest species in which to induce flowering, (4) produces pollen that is relatively easy to handle and stores well for at least 3 years, and (5) does not suffer from severe competing pollen clouds (contamination) arising from stands surrounding most western hemlock seed orchards in British Columbia.
This manual includes research summaries for cone induction and crown management and actual research results for pollen management techniques that include:
Our research has enabled us to formulate technologies that can be used in existing seed orchards and indicates directions for new orchards. However, our most severe limitation to developing technologies for producing seed of the highest genetic worth is determining supplemental pollination efficacy. At this time if we use pollen from quality lots of known breeding value we cannot accurately predict how much of the applied pollen will end up as seed.
A major unknown in this process is the effect of competing pollen. We need to complete trials under various pollen loads to develop supplemental pollination techniques that work for western hemlock. When these pollination techniques are considered in conjunction with management techniques already developed, we will be able to design orchard systems that will help us meet our target goals for high genetic worth seed lots. In the meantime, if we vigorously utilize recently developed techniques in existing orchards, significant gains in genetic worth are possible.

Jan 20, Earth/Environment
The activities of soil microorganisms release 10 times the carbon dioxide that human activities do on a yearly basis. Historically, this release of carbon dioxide has been kept in check by plants' uptake of the gas from the atmosphere. However, human activities are potentially upsetting this balance.
Frey and co-authors Johan Six and Juhwan Lee of UC-Davis and Jerry Melillo of the Marine Biological Laboratory were curious how increased temperatures due to climate change might alter the amount of carbon released from soils. "While they're low on the charisma scale, soil microorganisms are so critically important to the carbon balance of the atmosphere," Frey says. "If we warm the soil due to climate warming, are we going to fundamentally alter the flux of carbon into the atmosphere in a way that is going to feed back to enhance climate change?"
Yes, the researchers found. And no.
The study examined the efficiency of soil organisms – how completely they utilize food sources to maintain their cellular machinery – depending upon the food source and the temperature under two different scenarios. In the first short-term scenario, these researchers found that warming temperatures had little effect on soils' ability to use glucose, a simple food source released from the roots of plants. For phenol, a more complex food source common in decomposing wood or leaves, soils showed a 60 percent drop in efficiency at higher temperatures.
More information: The article, "The Temperature Response of Soil Microbial Efficiency and its Feedback to Climate," is published in the advanced online publication of Nature Climate Change on Jan. 20, 2013. DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE1796

Insurance Coverages
April 2013 Update
Below are brief outlines of insurance coverages available to volunteers and chartered organizations.
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
This coverage provides primary general liability coverage for registered volunteer Scouters with respect to claims arising out of an official Scouting activity. This coverage responds to allegations of negligent actions by third parties that results in personal injury or property damage claim that is made and provides protection for Scouting units, volunteer Scouts and chartering organizations.
Registered volunteers are provided primary coverage through the BSA general liability program, but not for vehicle or maritime (watercraft) liability, which is only on an excess basis; the owner's vehicle or maritime (watercraft) liability is primary. This insurance is available only while the vehicle or watercraft is in the actual use of a Scouting unit and being used for a Scouting purpose.
The insurance provided to unregistered Scouting volunteers through the general liability insurance program is excess over any other insurance the volunteer might have to his or her benefit, usually a homeowners, personal liability, or auto liability policy.
The general liability policy does not provide indemnification or defense coverage to those individuals who commit intentional and/or criminal acts. The Boy Scouts of America does not have an insurance policy which provides defense for situations involving allegations of intentional and/or criminal acts.
Automobile Liability Insurance
All vehicles MUST be covered by a liability insurance policy. The amount of this coverage must meet or exceed the insurance requirement of the state in which the vehicle is licensed. (It is recommended, however, that coverage limits are at least $100,000 combined single limit.) Any vehicle carrying 10 or more passengers is required to have limits of $500,000 single limit. In the case of rented vehicles, coverage limit requirements can be met by combining the limits of personal coverage carried by the driver with coverage carried by the owner of the rented vehicle. All vehicles used in travel outside the United States must carry a liability insurance policy that complies with or exceeds the requirements of that country.
Chartered Organizations for Scouting Units
The general liability policy provides primary liability insurance coverage for all chartered organizations on file with the BSA for liability arising out of their chartering a traditional Scouting unit. Automobile and maritime liability coverage is provided on a secondary or excess basis. All vehicles used in Scouting activities must be covered by automobile liability insurance with limits that meet or exceed the requirements of the state in which the vehicle is licensed. All boats/vessels used in Scouting must be insured by the owner for liability exposures. The amount of coverage is determined by the size and usage of the boat. $1 million is recommended.
Chartered organizations do not need a certificate of insurance. The chartered organization endorsement is a part of the insurance policy contract and is enforceable under the policy contract.
Accident and Sickness Coverage
(Optional coverage for council or units)
Accident and sickness insurance (also known as accident and health insurance) coverage for Scouts and Scouters furnishes medical reimbursement in case of death, accident, or sickness within the policy amounts. Information regarding unit accident coverage is available through the local council. The coverage provided has maximum limits it pays and a maximum benefit period, usually 52 weeks from the date of the incident.
Coverage is excess of all other insurance or healthcare plans in force. This policy is excess to any and all other available source of medical insurance or other healthcare benefits.
Who is covered?
The coverage provided has a maximum limits it pays and a maximum benefit period, usually 52 weeks from the date of the incident. The plans do not "take care of everything." Claims should be filed with the accident and sickness carrier as soon as possible along with any other source of medical insurance or other healthcare benefits.
Accident and sickness plans and insurance companies have specific procedures for processing claims. Volunteer need to check with their local council to verify which plan/policy their council provides or is available.
What Coverage is Available to Non-Owned Boats Used in Scouting Activities?
Unauthorized and Restricted Activities
The Boy Scouts of America general liability policy provides coverage for a bodily injury or property damage claim that is made and arises out of an Official Scouting Activity. The Guide to Safe Scouting contains a listing of Unauthorized and Restricted Activities. Unauthorized activities are not considered Official Scouting Activities. Volunteers (registered and unregistered), Units, Chartered Organizations and Local Councils are jeopardizing insurance coverage for themselves and their organization by engaging in unauthorized activities. PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK.

I have always used a grazing muzzle on my shetland pony. He gets it on every night and off again each morning. He was given to us because he was naught and also constantly foundering. Since using the muzzle the foundering has stopped, he also maintain a healthy weight and dosnt get bloated from suctioning as much grass as he can down his throat.
I find this is a kinder treatment than just locking him up and reducing his food. The muzzle allows some grazing, so it allows a healthier digestive system ( horses are designed to be constantly eating small amounts), he still get to run around the paddock and exercise with other horses, instead of staionairy in a stable. So he fitter and happier. I now want to use this on a mare I have who has real weight problems she from the wild and her metabolsim turns every scrap of food into body fat.
Has anybody else used muzzles to succesfully manage overwieght horses?? Or used them for any other reason?

Within these selections, all original punctuation, abbreviations and spellings have been retained. Where these spellings differ greatly from modern spellings, the most current form is noted in brackets immediately following the word. A number of obvious variants, such as "colour" for "color," reflect conventions to which we no longer adhere, but which were considered acceptable during Poe's lifetime and are left to stand without additional commentary. For manuscript material, including Poe's own corrections to printed sources, text contained within angle brackets "<...>" shows annotations made by Poe himself for the main text given. Reversed double-angle brackets ">>...<<" show text that Poe has canceled by striking or scratching out. Text contained within square brackets "[...]" is not part of the original. This text is intended as notes or corrections of typographical errors. In the original printings, some text occasionally appears within square brackets "[...]." In such cases, these have been changed to standard parentheses to avoid confusion. (Note: Over time, we will be changing our previously stated policy concerning square brackets to retain Poe's usage and distinguish our own editorial notes by enclosing these in double-square brackets "[[...]]".)
Poe published only one book which fits this category (although it ran through three editions), and was perhaps involved with another book of a similar vein. He did work on Literary America, and apparently considered publishing a book of Marginalia. A number of items were first collected in the posthumous collection of Works edited by Rufus Wilmot Griswold, incorporating some additional manuscript changes and other material. These books and collections are listed chronologically.
These items are arranged alphabetically by name. Within each name, entries are listed chronologically. Some of these items were not published under any specific title and most are, therefore, given here under a title deemed appropriately descriptive. The authorship of some items is a topic long researched and debated. Most of the items included here were signed, but for some, the attribution to Poe is necessarily the result of conjecture.

Barbecue tour - tag/photo fest
Two of my favorite activities: riding and eating pig products.
Wanted to start a tag game of sorts limited to barbecue restaurants. I gave it some more thought and came to the conclusion that a picture thread with reviews of the place would probably be more in order. This is more than just a picture thread as your input as to whether it's a worthy destination on the merits of the food, service, ride there or whatever is important.
The gist:
1) Ride to a barbecue place
2) eat
3) get pics including your bike
4) review the place
Figured this belonged in the Southeast regional forum instead of the Pics forum for a couple reasons:
-Barbecue outside of NC is really just a poor imitation of the real thing (not going to get into the eastern vs. western thing - they both kick ass)
-VA barbecue - while what can be found is adequate, it's really just wannabe que.
-SC barbecue - mustard, really???
-GA barbecue - to SC barbecue what VA is to the real thing. Why would you want to imitate an imitation.
VA, SC and GA barbecue joints are acceptable, but I'll expect you to show the required amount of ridicule in the review.
With that said, this doesn't have anything to do with Texas or Memphis or any other regional barbecue. Strictly pig cooked over a fire of some sort.

Well, if the humidity is going to be high, it won't be "Sahara-like heat." Summer or winter, it's the horrible humidity around here that makes the weather "icky."
I am aware of the lack of humidity in the Sahara but took the risk anyway, because I really wanted a picture of a camel (dromedary?) in this post. I should've known better than to try to pull one over on you guys.
I think you need to change the picture and the title of this story there Mr. Metcalfe. "D.C. forecast Monday: Sahara Desert-like heat soon returns"
