Alfredo Aceves returned to Spring Training from the World Baseball Classic on Monday and sounded more like a Bruins enforcer than a Red Sox reliever. The right-hander admitted the tournament was "pretty cool," despite the team's shortcomings, according to MLB.com. But, as predicted, the media turned its focus on the dust-up between members of Aceves' Mexican team and Team Canada. "It's part of the game," said Aceves, who added that he has no history with Phillies minor leaguer Tyson Gillies, one of several Canadians who appeared to be targeting Aceves. "[Gillies] was trying to defend his team," he explained. "If it were me, I'd try to do the same thing. "It didn't surprise me when he threw me to the floor," Aceves added. "I reacted to it, because I didn't do anything to him. I was just calming down. The fighting was with the pitcher and the hitter. So I was saying, 'Calm down, man, calm down. Come on, man.' And he just grabbed me and threw me on the floor. So I was like, 'I'm going to throw you on the floor, man.' Then when I jumped in to this guy, I had seven guys against me." Check out some videos of the incident here.

ROME NOTES: A Press Office at Age 50; Lateran Palace on Display
Media Relations Have Come a Long Way
By Delia Gallagher
ROME, DEC. 25, 2003 (Zenit) - The first journalists were angels, according to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who spoke at a Mass in Rome on Sunday celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Vatican press office.
My, how times have changed, one is tempted to say.
"Something new was born in the history of humanity," said the cardinal referring to the news that Mary would bear a Son. "And the news was rendered by unusual journalists -- the angels."
The first Vatican press service was instituted in 1953, by the then secretary of state, Monsignor Giovanni Battista Montini (the future Pope Paul VI), as an arm of L'Osservatore Romano. It accredited select Italian journalists, from papers known to be friendly to the Holy See.
Giancarlo Zizola, longtime Italian vaticanista, recounted at a press conference following the Mass that the first Vatican journalists (about a handful) were kept in a room off the Cortile San Damaso, from where they could see those arriving for an audience with the Pope, but were not allowed any free movement throughout the Vatican.
In 1966, Paul VI (whose father was a journalist) established the Press Office of the Holy See, as it is formally called.
Joaqu�n Navarro-Valls, papal spokesman and director of the Vatican press office, spoke of changes since the founding of the press office.
"The majority of accredited journalists to the Vatican are now non-Italian," said Spanish-born Navarro-Valls. "The worldwide interest on the part of the media in religious and moral themes and in this Pope in particular is extraordinary."
"For the October anniversary celebrations," said Navarro-Valls, "we temporarily accredited more than 3,000 journalists from around the world."
Another important change is that Navarro-Valls is the first press office director with direct access to the Holy Father.
"I have seen in the personal attitude of the Holy Father that he is not at all of the mentality of using the press, but of participating with the press," the spokesman said.
"The Holy Father has always been perfectly available to join the conversations in the press," he added, "and he has known how to do it."
Navarro-Valls emphasized that the policy of the Holy See, following John Paul II, is to work with the world's media in spreading the Vatican's message, not to use them for purposes of receiving good press.
"We are not like some politicians who complain about the media, but use it anyway to get flattering articles written about them," said Navarro-Valls.

A Palace Worth Storming
Tourists in Rome often do a better job of seeing the sites than many of us who live here year-round. Those of you who live in Rome, and those who are planning to come, should not miss the chance to see the beautiful "nobile" rooms of the Lateran Palace at the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
Father Pietro Amato guided a group of Vatican journalists through the old papal residence, rebuilt by Sixtus V (1585-1590) after the original palace had been lost to fire and decay when the popes took up residence in the Vatican, after the exile in Avignon.
"The Lateran is above earthly things," Father Amato said, quoting Dante as he pointed out the frescoed walls and ceilings of the 10-room apartments.
The grandest room, "the Sistine Chapel of the Lateran," as Father Amato called it, was the site of the signing of the 1929 Lateran Treaty granting sovereignty by Italy to Vatican City. A copy of the treaty, bearing original signatures, is on display.
The noble floor also contains a myriad of delightful artifacts from past papal households such as the desk of Pius VII, the beautiful gold writing trays with pen and ink holders of Pius VIII and Pius IX, and the red velvet pagoda used to carry John XXIII.
Also on display are the elaborate costumes worn by members of the papal household in the 18th and 19th centuries. There is the black lace cape and dress uniform of the marshals of the conclave, the red silk of the chair carriers, and even an elegant outfit worn by the superintendent of the post office.
Sixteenth-century liturgical vestments of Paul V are on display near the apartment chapel, which houses several paintings given to John Paul II during his trip to the Middle East.
A collection of spears and armor from the 18th-century Italian forces are mixed in with more uniforms of military men under the pope.
"They never fired a shot," said Father Amato.
The apartments look out onto the Lateran Square, which boasts an obelisk taller than the one at St. Peter's and a loggia, which is bigger.
Beginning in January, the museum will be open every day except Sunday, with guided tours on the hour, in the mornings.
The Vatican Museums are raising their entrance fee to 12 euros ($14.80) from 10 euro in January, but a ticket to the Lateran Museum will be included in the price.

Spiker argues that the proposal would raise taxes without meaningful spending cuts. He also praised Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley for his vote against the legislation.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin also voted no on the fiscal cliff budget package, saying it helps the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, a Democrat, said in a statement Tuesday that he'll support the measure in its current form.

The material in the exhibition, and in the accompanying book of the same title, published by Random House, encompasses work Leibovitz made on assignment as a professional photographer as well as personal photographs of her family and close friends. "I don't have two lives," Leibovitz says. "This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it." The material documents the birth of her three daughters and many events involving her large and robust family, including the death of her father.
Portraits of public figures include the pregnant Demi Moore, Nelson Mandela in Soweto, George W. Bush with members of his Cabinet at the White House, William S. Burroughs in Kansas, and Agnes Martin in Taos. The assignment work also includes searing reportage from the siege of Sarajevo in the early 1990s and a series of landscapes taken in the American West and in the Jordanian desert.
One of the most celebrated photographers of our time, Annie Leibovitz has been making witty, powerful images documenting American popular culture since the early 1970s, when her work began appearing in Rolling Stone. She became the magazine's chief photographer in 1973, and ten years later began working for Vanity Fair, and then Vogue, creating a legendary body of work. In addition to her magazine work, Leibovitz has created influential advertising campaigns for American Express, Gap, Givenchy, The Sopranos, and the Milk Board. A retrospective of her work from the years 1970 to 1990 was presented at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and at the International Center of Photography in New York.
Leibovitz is the recipient of many honors, including the rank of Commandeur in the French government's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Barnard College Medal of Distinction. She was named a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000 and one of the thirty-five Innovators of Our Time by Smithsonian magazine in 2005.
Charlotta Kotik, John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator of Contemporary Art, is the curator of the exhibition.

640 Adv / CS Sprocket / Loctite ?
I'm replacing the cs sprocket on my 640 Adventure tonight and I have one very simple question I need answered...
The manual calls for Loctite 243 to be used, however, I was unable to find 243. I found 242 and I also have some 245, but no 243.
Will the 242 be good enough?
Forgive my Loctite ignorance...I am not totally sure what the difference between the 242 and 243 is. Seems the 243 is more 'oil resistant' ??
I did the requisite searching and found a few people with similar questions, however, they were for shocks and such, nothing near the CS. :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-- Jason
I've used blue Loctite with no problems. Can't remember the number?
I'm assuming that red is not what would be wanted for this particular application...but I am certainly no expert with loctite...hence my asking. :)
-- Jason
Hi Jason, concrats on your new bike. I just replaced my front sprocket seal and I used 242 with no problems. 242 is a lock and seal . I have it left over from making a fuel cell and I have been useing it as regular locktite with no problems.
Later, Joe
The ride you guys had in Idaho looks awesome. I'm really jealous!
Thanks again!

CS sprocket bolt and spring washer P/N 590.33.034.044 $4.25
Discussion linked HERE.
The index
Thanks...I have read that other posting about 100 times already to make sure I knew what I was getting into. :)
I actually ended up not replacing the sprocket as I decided to wait for the parts you mentioned.
I did take the cover off last night with plans to replace it, however, it seems there is a tabbed washer of some sort behind the nut. One side folded over to help prevent the nut from backing off. Looks like I need a replacement for that washer before I can even think of taking that thing apart.
It looks like the tab is only possible on one side of the nut...does that make sense?
I was expecting to be able to re-use the nut/etc as the bike is only 3 weeks old with 600 miles on it...
It is going to the dealer tomorrow for it's 600 mile service, so I may just have them do it while it's there...hate to pay to have someone else do this type of thing though. I even went out and bought a torque wrench just for this!
Thanks for the pointer though...the lc4 index is awesome, one of my favorite places on this site since buying my new 640. :)
-- Jason
For your peace of mind I recommend cutting a hole through the cover and marking a paint line on the nut and shaft.
You may be reluctant to take a hole-saw to your new bike but you can clean up the hole nicely with sandpaper.
That said, why do you have to REPLACE the sprocket after only 600 miles?!? I could imagine you might want to exchange for a different tooth count - but is the stock CS sprocket already fried? :ear If you are only exchanging the sprocket then I would expect you to be able to reuse the bolt/spring washer combo (w/loctite) for a spell, but I have no idea about the tabbed washer. BTW, did you see the loctite thread in the index?
You can still do the drivetrain work, just have the dealer order the parts for you. Speaking of which, you don't want to do the valve adjustment/oil change/general inspection? It is challenging, but not impossible for those with decent mechanical aptitude and wrench experience.
Plus...doesn't KTM void your warranty if you do this stuff yourself during the warranty period? I thought I read something about that in my manual.
-- Jason
I am not familiar with the tabbed CS bolt washer - hopefully someone with experiece will speak up. But for the price, I would just get another one: peace of mind is worth more than $5.
KTM cannot void your warranty due to limitations imposed by the Magnuson-Moss Act. They can't tell you where to maintain your bike. Just search for it here in Thumpers and on Google; it's come up before. Pretty sure you can even maintain the bike yourself and make warranty claims provided you keep adequate records of your work.
-- Jason
I have the new style lock washer. I reused it since after I torqued the nut, the flat on the nut was on a unused portion of the lock washer so there would be no residual stress from being used before. If the flat had lined up with the "used" portion, I would have removed the nut, rotated the lock washer and torqued again.
Flatten it?
I always get a bit nervous working with engine related stuff on my bike...so I want to make sure I do this as it should be done.
-- Jason
Aw, man. This just came up last week, but I can't remember which thread it was in.

Are you heading to Poland soon? If so, can you please find this mural and report back? We want to know if it looks as incredible in real life as we imagine it does.
Street artist WAONE has painted artworks all over the world, and this is his latest; a gigantic, surreal, magical piece in Lublin, Poland.
The Ukrainian artist has made a pretty trippy scene: a guy holds a big hour glass which is in the middle of a precariously balanced tower – there is a statue of a woman, a bird on a rock, a pond, and a rainbow coloured spinning wheel type entity all coming out of a magic box.
It looks like something from The Labyrinth met a science-fiction story and hung out with Salvador Dali for a while. A spacey, surreal piece of cleverness.
You can find this mural in Lublin, Poland.

I dont think that the OP is a troll, but more like a disappointed GW2 fan atm. Ive seen him post a lot about GW2. Anyway..
1. Death penalty. I think the current mechanics are ok. You dont pay for repairs if you dont die (downed state is not dieing). So skilled players are rewarded for being skilled.
2. Ive noticed it too in gameplay videos that sometimes mobs dont die fast. But most of the times that was when one of those beta player was trying a new weapon and was only spamming the first skill of that new weapon all the time to train for the next skill. From the press beta event I mainly saw starting areas. Im not sure if you can compare starting area mobs to higher lvl area mobs. Maybe the mob diversity is a little like in GW1 in higher lvl areas. If its not, Im not sure if I like it either. I agree with the OP that GW1 combat looks more tactical.
The OP raises two interesting points. And then goes way hyperbole about how GW2 is now a lot like WoW because of these 2 things.

I have to disagree with you.
You actually understood the death penalty wrong, I thought the same as you in the beggining. The Downed Bar goes down by 25% when you get downed, yes, BUT it goes back up every minute. The only way you can die automatically is if you get downed 4 times in ONE minute. they weren't very clear about that, I agree. I hope that gives you a little faith back into the game!
As for the combat, I think it's miles away from WoW. It's just that GW2's combat seems to be designed for solo players a lot. However, they could change that with the combo system; your skills can interact with other classes' skills, which is a great thing. I think that the combat will require a lot of thinking and strategy.
don't forget that the death penalty isn't that much of an important feature. Try to think about all else that is great about the game.
And gw2 will never end up failing like warhammer or decieving like TOR. So far the press is loving it, and it's coming to us soon!
I guess we'll have to wait until we play before placing a final judgement!

Some people even call EQ a sandbox, and by the new standards TOR's set, some could even call WoW a sandbox. People have become totally confused as to what the word even means, probably because it's been so long since we've seen one (that wasn't a broken amateurish indie game)
Also, the word has such a stigma associated with it. Like linear. Some linear games are great, some themeparks are great. There's nothing wrong with GW2 being a themepark, just with the genre for offering so little variation.

You get so much wrong here I felt the need to reply on a point to point basis.
1: The death penalty, you got it wrong. Yes, your 'health' in a downed state is reduced by 25% each time you are downed, but what you miss is that it resets about once a minute. So really it's only a penalty if you go into a downed state more than once a minute. If that is happening you either need to rethink your build or strategy or tell your dungeon group to stop sucking :p
2: This is correct, mostly. You aren't 'forced to die' because of what I said above. Unless you go down four times in a minute, you won't ever be 'forced' to die. This fee is tiny. If you watch videos, the normal fee is a few copper pieces. When you dye you pay 'double'. So if a point costs 4 copper to get there, you pay 8. I would expect that only the very high level areas cost more than a few silver. Also, how exactly is paying a fee to teleport to the nearest waypoint 'like wow'? That is the premise of your post so.. I don't understand where are you coming from with this one.
3/4: You get this wrong as well. When you die one piece of you armor is damaged. Once all your armor is damaged it breaks. This is different form a typical 'durability' system where when you die or even when you are just in combat, your gear slowly degrades until it breaks. If you repair your armor as pieces are damaged, you won't have to pay 'again' once it breaks because... it won't break.
5: How exactly is repairing damaged (or broken armor) and paying a few copper to teleport like WoW? This makes me think you've never played WoW. When you die in wow, your armor degrades in a traditional sense (and potentially breaks) but you also spawn as a ghost in a nearby graveyard and have to go back to your body and recover your gear.
Part 2
I've seen this nonsense in the guru forums as well and not only have I rebutted it there, I will here as well. Video's showing long fights with a single mob in every case I've seen, that mob is a boss and it almost every time is above the players own level. Such as the Yogscast norn videos where the two guys spend about 2 minutes fighting a drake boss. The mob is a boss for one, but it is also four levels higher than they are. They pretty much get their ass handed to them, and for good reason.
Second, this reasoning seems to ignore the tons of other mobs they fight where they kill them in 3-5 hits. As to the AI, do note everything we've seen has been very low level from the press beta. I wouldn't expect great AI from the essentially 'tutorial' mobs. This doesn't mean the fights are easy by any means. There are a number of times where they get in over their heads, using the Yogscast videos as examples, often getting into fights with half a dozen mobs or more. On the AI more specifically, this is the same company that did the brilliant AI in Guild Wars. To think they didn't carry that over to GW2 is not only an assumption, but a bad one.
I disagree completely that the game resembles WoW in nearly any way. Things like an attrition mechanic and costs to use the waypoint system are just how they do their money sinks, and every MMOG needs money sinks because without them the economy inflates to extremes. These two things do not make the game 'a WoW clone' by any stretch of the imagination. They make it an MMOG that uses a few common (but still heavily altered) systems because they are necessary.
Frankly if you feel that the above two mechanics make the game a WoW clone, then I feel bad for you because you are obviously ignoring every other aspect of the game that set it apart from other, previous titles like WoW

I think one problem is that there isn't like a real, proper, official definition and some Great Gaming God of Definitions who just says 'BAM, everything that is a sandbox is this, and everything that is not a sandbox title does not have that'.
That would be really convenient, but mostly it's just people's feelings.
Such a shoddy way of defining things.

It looks like to me that the AI still behaves similarly to how it did in Guild Wars. Enemies run away, kite if they are ranged, and some even tend to use abilities at the proper time. Some enemies aim for weaker targets, while others focus on players in front of them. You don't see a lot of that in the early areas, but if you watch a few videos that feature content beyond the verying beginning of the starter zone you'll start to see more AI types. There seems to be a good variety. Some are mindless and just charge and attack and do nothing else, but there are quite a few that seem to be doing a bit more than that.
Also the CO approach? I remember the combat in CO being ridiculous easy and mindless. Able to solo world bosses that were obviously meant for small raids and generally little chance of death throughout the entire the game. I was able to solo the 5 man dungeons with ease in CO too, and I don't remember anything inside being responsible for a specific role (i'd imagine if there actually was healers in these dungeons it would have been impossible to solo).
Contrary to what you are saying, if you watch the Ascalon Dungeon video.you'll see there are packs of trash setup in these roles too. Each set of MOBs each has their own mechanic (which is conveniently shown to the player if you target them) and some focus almost solely on healing.

All the sandbox vs themepark ppl gtfo, or get back on topic and address the OP's two raised points.
1. Current death penalty mechanics = skilled players dont (often) pay for repairs
2. Combat. Im not sure about this. Ive mainly seen low lvl areas and players have barely skills at that point, so I dont expect much from mobs either. But yeah, I agree that GW1 combat looks more tactical. But on the other hand GW2 is more twitchy with the dodging.

To all the people who are saying that GW2 has sandbox elements:
Eh... im just noot seeing it.
Hell, even Tera looks to have more sandbox elements.
GW2 is an innovative themepark, but sandbox elements? where?
PVE & PVP are completely separated, you can't get more carebear than that.
Can you build anything? no...
Does it have politics? a sense of community? no...
I mean it's server vs server vs server, you will never have any kind of politics, rivalries and all that stuff when you fight against other servers, and let's not forget about the server rotation... if a LFG tool kills the sense of community, what GW2 is doing is even worse.
Oh and don't tell me how DEs are cooperative, we all know what is going to happen, exactly what RIFT had, solo players playing in a group, the DE ends, everyone leaves, 0 words, very very social amright!!!!!! All in all, im very hyped about GW2 because i can still enjoy themeparks, unless they are total wow clones.
However, this beta videos where a bit.... you know... dissapointing, im not seeing this "action combat" that Arenanet talked so much about, what Tera has is miled ahead in terms of combat mechanics.
Too bad it still has quest based leveling, but hey... no game is perfect.
Oh, and the graphics looked VERY cartonish and low rez, but it's beta and the guy in the video could have a low end pc.

Does the FocusScope only works on child elements "focus" property or does it also considers the grand childerens "focus" property also.
i.e. In the below code, since the Rectangle element is not a direct child of FocusScope, will it take in to account while setting the focus.
import QtQuick 1.1
FocusScope {
width: 100
height: 66
Row {
Rectangle {
width: 100
height: 62
focus: true
color: "red"
Keys.onPressed: {
Based on the output of the program, it looks like FocusScope takes Rectangle element in to account while setting the focus. This feature is not documented.
From http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qdeclarativefocus.html#qmlfocus Qt docs "Within each focus scope one element may have Item::focus set to true. If more than one Item has the focus property set, the last element to set the focus will have the focus and the others are unset, similar to when there are no focus scopes."
It is not clear whether the FocusScope considers the grandchildrens(childrens of childrens) "focus" property.

Back at CNN headquarters, I decide to ask Sam Feist one last question before I turn off my tape recorder.
Her books catch those qualities but presumably with the aid of a tape recorder.

There are so many amazing pictures in this set, called The Now Smash Of Style, by Craig McDean for Italian Vogue. I had trouble narrowing it down to just a few pictures to show you! Dark as they are, these pictures are still just exquisitely beautiful! Check out this post on The Moldy Doily to see the rest of the set – larger sized images too!
Gosh I would love to get my hands on that hat in the first picture, and the corset in the bottom one…

These photos are absolutely gorgeous! They evoke so much emotion when you look at them. They are like a mixture of dark Edwardian style with a twist of modern. I love the first picture where the red hat gives the photo a real pop of color.

these images make me think of a rags to riches story. so dark + scary but at the same time they evoke beauty + grace.

Egypt sentences 101 more Morsi supporters to prison
Hundreds of pro-Morsi supporters have been sentenced to prison over the past months, with some even receiving life sentences and the dealth penalty (File Archive/AFP)
A court in Nile Delta's Damietta city has sentenced 101 supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi to three years in prison on charges of illegal gathering and rioting.
Another 17 were acquitted, judicial sources told Ahram Online.
Last week, 50 Morsi supporters in the Egypt's second city of Alexandria were sentenced to five years on the same charges.
Similar sentences against supporters of Morsi and his now banned Muslim Brotherhood have become common since the Islamist president's ouster last July and the government began to crack down on both Islamist and secular protesters.
Over 200 people, including the Brotherhood's Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie and other Morsi supporters, have received death sentences for an array of charges linked to the violence after Morsi's ouster.

Citing New York State Democrats, the New York Post reported this morning that the Clintons were "livid" about the comparisons between Abedin's decision to defend her husband and Clinton.
Already, Republicans have seized on it as evidence that a Clinton candidacy is a risky proposition for Democrats.
"Therein lies the Democrats' problem. Therein lies Hillary Clinton's problem," wrote National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brad Dayspring in an email to reporters. "Their entire electoral strategy requires utilizing the 'War on Women' playbook, but every individual transgression is a reminder that most parents couldn't trust Bill Clinton — the most powerful Democratic fundraiser and surrogate-in-chief for 2014 — in a room alone with their 21-year-old daughter."

Pregnancy Stages in Dogs
In many of these stages, pregnancy is difficult to determine. Thus, the dogs will often show noticeable changes by the time the pregnancy has already reached 30 days.
Pregnancy Stages in Dogs
- Knowing the stages of pregnancy of the dogs can alert the owner to possible problems or keep them calm. For instance, there comes a time when the female begins to secrete mucous from her vagina.
Pregnancy Duration in Dogs
- The gestational period varies among dog breeds but usually lasts 58 to 68 days.
Pregnancy in Dogs Week by Week
- In the first few weeks of pregnancy, there are no noticeable changes. Often, it is very difficult to determine if the bitch is already pregnant. Moreover, diagnostic tests are not conclusive until around the 30th day. Thus, owners will often need to rely on the recognition of certain symptoms only.
- In the first 5 weeks, the pups will develop inside the bitch. She might become irritable and experience a loss of appetite.
- On the 4th or 5th week, the pups can be detected using ultrasound.
- On the 6th and 7th week, the dog will now have a clearly enlarged abdomen unless the litter is just 1 or 2 pups. The teats will begin to enlarge.
- About a week before whelping, milk may already be discharged from the teats.
Dogs Pregnancy Period
- For the entire duration of the dog's pregnancy, it could have behavioral changes aside from physical changes.

Restoring when OS won't load - Virtual machines
If a production server fails, is there any way to restore the complete image file to a virtual VM server? Would I have to confgure the VM server to have all the domain setting of the original box and them do essentially a restore of all the files?
Is there any way to do this in the recovery console?
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
The only way to restore the complete server as far as I am aware is to have a full backup of your VMDK and VMX files, there is a way of doing that with Backup Exec and the RALUS agent, i can give you the link if you are really interested.
Your suggestion of rebuilding and restoring is the only way In know of using system recovery.
Once the server is rebuilt i see no reason why you cannot install the system recovery agent and restore completely over the top of the rebuilt server. Haven't tried it mind you, but that is what I would try without a VMDK backup.

Albany, New York (PRWEB) September 02, 2014
Anti-aging is proving to be a lucrative business with products and services such as anti-wrinkle treatments and products, hair restoration treatments, hair color, radio frequency-device based treatments, and breast augmentation becoming much sought after worldwide. In a new market report published by U.S.-based market intelligence firm Transparency Market Research, the global market for these anti-aging treatments and products will grow to USD 191.7 billion by 2019, from being worth USD 122.3 billion in 2013. This marks a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% between 2013 and 2019.
What are the major segments within the anti-aging market?
From the biological perspective, aging is defined as the deterioration and/or decline of functional properties at three main levels: cells, tissues and organs. This process is essentially a cycle of biochemical activities that are brought about in the body by various factors that work both internally and externally. Arguably, age affects the beauty, fitness, and health of an individual.
For research report on "Anti-Aging Market", visit us at: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/anti-aging-market.html
The anti-aging market comprises a number of technologies and products as well as services and devices aimed at mitigating or reversing the signs of aging. A number of technological breakthroughs and advances have shaped the attributes of the anti-aging industry as well as the way market players' reach in the market. As compared to anti-aging devices and services, the category of anti-aging products demonstrates easy adoptability.
The anti-aging services segment is classified as cosmetic surgeries/procedures and non-invasive treatments, both of which are required to be practiced by certified practitioners, plastic surgeons, or trained and qualified beauty therapists. The market for anti-aging services is projected to demonstrate a CAGR of 5% between 2013 and 2019.
The market for anti-aging products is the largest in terms of revenue generation. The products market also holds potential for the introduction of new, safe, and efficient products. This is a market that is still considered to be in its evolutionary stage, and it faces a certain degree of skepticism among consumers. However, the compliance of manufacturers with stringent regulatory mandates and the use of cutting-edge technology have restored faith in these products, services and devices to some extent.

The awareness among this generation pertaining to the availability of anti-aging products in the market is growing. According to reports, the first Baby Boomers reached the age of retirement in 2012. Figures also indicate that over the next 18 years, nearly 8000 individuals
per day from this generation will turn 65.

This aspect is only bolstered by the fact that the governments of these nations are introducing various methods to promote medical tourism. In the RoW segment, Mexico and Brazil are being viewed as companies that will attract a significant share in the anti-aging market. These countries are witnessing rapid development on the economic front and there is a simultaneous growth in awareness pertaining to anti-aging treatments, therapies and products among both men and women. This has paved the way for Brazil and Mexico to rank among the most attractive markets in the future.

Hey all.
I have noticed that there are some cases where a disturbing sound is ringing when I do specific things on the P525.
For example I can hear that sound (something like a short "diiing") when I'm typing an sms and I insert a symbol... When I click the joystick to insert the symbol I have chosen, I hear that sound (ding).- i dont hear a sound in my p525
Same thing when I choose a contact, (let's say) I choose to call the mobile number of that contact, so I press the joystick and I hear that sound for a second.- i do hear a sound in my p525
i think in the second case its is common for windows mobile devices. ive had an xphone2, dopod577w smartphone and an xda2s pocketpc, this is a common sound when you call.usually, in case of the smartphones this can be solved by a registry tweak im not sure in the case of our ppc

The liturgical year begins with the Advent Season which starts four Sundays before December 25 and ends at the Christmas Vigil Mass. There are two themes to this season, both reflected by the term "advent" which means "coming." First, this season is a period to prepare for the celebration of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas), as we recall the first time that Christ came to us. Second, it is a time to reflect and prepare for Christ's Second Coming at the end of time.
During the season of Advent we remember the long years of waiting by the people of Israel for the Messiah, the messages of hope in the prophets, and how Mary and Joseph were faithful to God's plan. Advent is not a penitential season, as Lent is. Advent is a time of joyful preparation and expectation. The Gloria is omitted on Sundays in Advent not as a sign of repentance, but to create a longing that will inspire people to sing it more joyfully on Christmas.
Themes in Prayer and ScriptureThe scripture selections and the prayers of the liturgy for the season reflect the two themes described above. From the beginning of Advent until December 16 the focus is on preparation for the coming of God's Kingdom. From December 17 to December 24 the theme shifts to the anticipation of the birth of Jesus and his ministry.
The gospel reading during each Sunday of Advent reflects these themes. The gospel for the First Sunday of Advent concerns Christ's coming at the end of time. John the Baptist is the subject of the gospel for the Second and Third Sundays. The gospel for the Fourth Sunday addresses the events that happened right before the birth of Jesus. The readings from the Old Testament, especially from the Book of Isaiah, speak about the Messiah and the Messianic age.
The New Testament readings reflect the themes of Advent.
The Liturgical ColorSince Advent is a time of expectation and preparation, the colors violet or purple are used in the vestments and decorations. Purple is a color that was reserved for use by royalty, and so it is used in Advent to symbolize the coming of Christ our king, as celebrated at Christmas and as we prepare for the coming of God's Kingdom.
The third Sunday of Advent is known as Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is the Latin word for rejoice. The vestments worn on this day may be the color rose to symbolize the hope for the coming of Jesus.
A Symbol for AdventThe Advent Wreath represents a custom that Christians have followed for centuries.
The circle of the wreath recalls all the years the people waited for the Messiah. The four candles on the wreath remind us that there are four weeks in Advent. Each week one additional candle is lighted, so by the end of Advent all four are lit. The candles remind us that we are preparing for Jesus, the Light of the World.
Three of the candles are purple, the liturgical color for Advent. The candle lit for the third week of Advent is often rose-colored, to signify the hope for the coming of Jesus.
