YIELD: Serves 4
- 1/2 cup very thinly sliced red onion
- 3 cups cubed light rye bread
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 pound tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 medium pickling or Persian cucumbers or 1 large European cucumber
- 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup basil leaves, large leaves torn
- 1/4 pound sliced pastrami, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Preheat the oven to 450°F with the rack in the middle. Put the onion in a bowl and cover with 1 to 2 cups of cold water. Swish the water around and rub the slices with your hands. Strain and repeat the process two or three times, letting the slices soak and changing the water at 10-minute intervals. (Soaking raw onion in cold water mellows the harsh bite.)
Meanwhile, spread out the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are crispy and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
On a cutting board, finely chop the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using both the blade and the flat side of a chef's knife, chop and scrape the mixture into a paste. Put the oil and vinegar into a bowl, add the garlic paste and whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled bread, tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine, gently pressing the tomatoes a bit to release some of the juices.
Peel the cucumbers in a zebra pattern and cut on a diagonal into half moons. Drain and pat dry the onions. Add the onions, cucumber, celery, basil leaves, pastrami and parsley leaves to the salad. Whisk together the dressing, add it to the salad and gently toss to combine.

Day 3 : Nakhon Ratchasima - Phang Nga
Nakhon Ratchasima
Phimai Historical Park
Within the Park is the Phimai Sanctuary, one of the grandest and most important Khmer historical sites in Thailand.
The word Phimai appears in an inscription on a stone slab at the front doorway of the building as well as in many other structures. It is believed that the word Phimai referred to a religious figure or site.
The Phimai Sanctuary is rectangular in shape and is 565 meters wide and 1,030 meters long. It consists of ornately carved sandstone and laterite structures. The most special characteristic of the sanctuary is that it is the only one that faces south while the others usually face east. This is probably because it was built to face the route that the Khmers traveled from the capital of the empire, to the south of Phimai.
From stone inscriptions and the architectural style, the Phimai Sanctuary was most likely built at the end of the 11th century during the reign of King Suriyaworaman I. The architectural style is that of the Baphuon style that prospered at the time. However, some characteristics are similar to that of Angkor Wat, which became popular at a later period. Some additions were made to the site in the early 18th Buddhist century during the reign of King Chaiworaman VII when Phimai had close relations with the Khmer Empire. The sanctuary was always a religious site of the Mahayana sect of Buddhism because King Suriyaworaman I and King Chaiworaman VII were followers of the sect. Important Structures in Phi
Dan Kwian
Situated on Highway No. 24, about 14 kilometers from the city of Nakhon Ratchasima is a village noted for unique pottery widely used for interior and outdoor decoration. The uniqueness of Dan Kwian clay is its durability, pliability and rusty color. When combined with attractive designs and the proper heating process the products are irresistible.

CrockPot Baked Beans with Apples and Jalapeño
Day 363.
mmmm. beans.
I really like baked beans, and am excited to have a few cups of these left in the refrigerator. I'm going to have some more with my pancakes this morning.
Again. I'm eating pancakes again.
We've had pancakes every. single. day. since school let out, and it doesn't look like that will be stopping. I'm glad I bought the big bags of Pamela's.
this has nothing to do with beans.
or the crockpot.
The Ingredients.
--1 lb bacon, divided (I used turkey)
--2 cans white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
--1/2 yellow onion, diced
--2 granny smith apples, cored and diced (no need to peel)
--1 or 2 canned jalapeños, diced
--3 cloves garlic, minced
--1 tsp dry mustard
--1/2 tsp kosher salt
--1/4 cup ketchup
--1/3 cup apple juice
--2 T molasses
--1 T brown sugar (I did not add this, see verdict below)
The Directions.
Use a 3-4 quart crockpot. Put 2 pieces of bacon into the bottom of your crockpot. Layer in the
beans, jalapeño, onion, and apples. Sprinkle dry spices on the beans. Add the ketchup, molasses, and apple juice. Stir gingerly to combine.
Add 2 more pieces of bacon to the top of the beans. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8. This is finished when the onions and apples are translucent and the flavors have fully melded.
Cook the remaining slices of bacon on the stove top and crumble over the top.
The Verdict.
I really liked these beans, but I missed the sweetness of traditional baked beans. Next time I will add a tablespoon of brown sugar with the dry spices. I needed to add some more chopped jalapeño to my bowl, but everyone else ate it plain. It wasn't spicy (to me) and the kids were okay with it. They didn't eat very much, and filled up on cornbread.

Hi Steph, I'm not sure where the proper place to post this question would be, so I'm posting it here. What are you (we) going to do after the year is over? Will you leave us? Whatever will I do? Please say you'll keep going on in 2009!!

Steph, I was wondering the same thing-will all your recipes still be available ? It's going to be weird with you not posting a new crockpot recipe everyday. Will miss your blog and you too.

You are all so wonderful and sweet and you make me cry.
The blog won't go anywhere, and will live on in cyberspace.
I'm going to take a vacation, then will post probably about once a week.

- Shirley said...
Thanks for posting this wonderful news, Steph, that you'll be posting in 2009 for us--we all appreciate you soooo much! :-)
I confess I have never made baked beans on my own. (That can of Bush's just made it so easy, and Bush's are GF, too.) I agree that the brown sugar sweetness is important for baked beans. Some friends who love apples and jalapenos will want to try this recipe though. ;-)
- December 28, 2008 at 1:24 PM
You must try crushed pineapple in beans. It is awesome!!

Ha! I haven't commented for ages, but I was going to ask the EXACT SAME THING! And you have thoughtfully answered it. You must be psychic! No, wait...

Wow--the emotions you must feel being so close to being done! I found your blog early in the year and have immensley enjoyed seeing the update each day. I certainly hope it becomes a printed cookbook after the end! I bet you're looking forward to being able to cook a little more without the crockpot, but I bet you also have lots of recipes you still want to try in the crockpot! Maybe, a weekly blog in 2009? Then, monthly in 2010? :)
- December 28, 2008 at 5:08 PM
oh, crockpot lady...it's been such fun this year clicking on your blog every day and seeing what this crock-potless non-cook might be crocking up if she just had the gumption. maybe i'll take you as inspiration and acquire a crockpot as a new year, 2009, resolution. you have been tempting me all year long. i shall miss you, truly, thanx.

We just had crockpot chicken chili for dinner, made with canned cannelini beans. I am impressed with how the beans don't break down despite cooking for 7 hours or so.

Ok, I recently began reading your blog and made the lentils which we all loved at lunch. But I have to share my disaster later in the day. I attempted to carry the crock pot out to the car because I was bringing this to my daughter's potluck, but I slipped on the lowest step and the pot fell onto the stone and broke and I fell upon it and cut my left wrist badly! Still, I will make this recipe again, but I may not carry the pot myself! Or I will be much more careful.

- Crockpot Lady said...
Oh Kristi! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Did you need stitches?
- December 28, 2008 at 8:39 PM
I am so relieved to hear you are leaving the blog up. Next year, I hope to use our crockpot more, and with ds being gf/cf (and egg-free), your site is a great fit for us. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

I didn't need stitches, and it is nearly all healed now, and I bought a new crockpot and will be happily reading your blog. I'm so glad you are continuing.
- December 29, 2008 at 6:03 AM
Funny how everyone had the same thoughts as me- only 2 days left - sniff sniff :(
I'll miss coming here daily for my crockpot recipe fix. All good things must come to an end I guess.
Thanks so much for your stick-to-it-iveness (ok, probably not a word but you know what i mean) - kudos to you for not only that, but posting awesome recipes! Bev

Thank you SO much for this great blog. I've used three of the recipes already and looking forward to more.
But wait--will there be more after December 31? Will you move to another style of cooking?
I'm curious!

Miss your posts. The canned jalepenos. Are they pickled?
- January 10, 2009 at 9:47 AM

Hi cdee,
I don't think so. They don't taste pickled, just jalapenoey.

Wow, I can't believe I just now found your blog! I just bought a larger CP yesterday (Hamilton Beach 6 qt with programmable thermostat!) and I was looking for a recipe to cook a whole chicken in the crockpot. My husband thought I was crazy, but after I found your site, I see that I can do a lot more stuff.
You are obviously a very clever woman, so I send you blessings for continued fun and whatever.
CrockPot on!

Ooooooh my goodness! I used 1 jar of sliced jalepenos, without the juice. I added a bit more water and apple juice so the apples on top wouldn't dry out.
It smells so good, but it's SO spicy, it's overwhelming! My boyfriend has yet to give his verdict, but I'm a wuss when it comes to spice.
- August 22, 2009 at 3:25 PM
I made this today and my husband LOVED it. He gave it a 10. Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Governor LePage is in another war of words with Democrats in the Legislature. But today Democrats said the fight has changed, because of new information from the federal government.
At the center of the debate, once again, is the plan to pay off the state's debt to hospitals. That plan has gained significant support, and the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee is working on final details of the plan. It would borrow about $185 million to pay the state's share of the hospital debt, then use income from a new wholesale liquor contract to pay it back.
Now Democratic leaders say they want to link paying the hospital debt to approving the state's expansion of Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act. Democrats say that Medicaid expansion would provide health insurance for about 70,000 Maine residents.
Governor LePage over the weekend was sharply critical of Senate President Justin Alfond and Speaker of the House Mark Eves for wanting to combine the two proposals. And Republican leaders say they also don't like it, and aren't likely to support it. Democrats say they intend to pay the hospitals but also want to ensure more Maine people get covered by insurance to reduce health care costs and the expense of charity care for hospitals.
On Tuesday, Democrats showed off letters from the federal DHHS they say show the federal government would pay the full cost of the Medicaid expansion for three years, and would include 10,500 so-called "childless adults" already in Maine's Medicaid program. Democrats call the DHHS letters a "game changer" in their favor. Republicans say the state would still see a lot of new costs.
Governor LePage's spokesperson says there are still many questions that need to be answered, and say the Governor will still insist the two issues be considered separately. The Governor's office also says Maine DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew will go to Washington on Thursday to meet with federal DHHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius for a discussion about Maine's Medicaid program and the expansion.


text: Amongst many topics that have risen to the forefront during the lockout is that of the perceived competitive advantage that large market has over small markets. If you follow me on Twitter, @AzazNYK, you probably saw my rant disparaging this on Monday. It befuddles me that making the game balanced has become a major hang-up… More

Read: The Relationship Between The Rangers and NYU Coach Chris Cosentino
This week, before John Tortorella was allowed to interact with his players, the Rangers players brought in NYU club hockey coach Chris Consentino to run their practice.
According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, Consentino, 30, played high school hockey with Matt Gilroy on Long Island and said that the experience of being on the ice with the Rangers players was "surreal."
Consentino invited Tortorella to speak to his NYU team during the lockout, which is something that Consentino says the players still talk about.
He said, "It was awesome, our guys are still talking about it. There were some X's and O's, he did take the grease board out, but Coach's message was about values. It was a message about what it takes to be a winner, what it means to commit to hard work, not only on the ice or not only as an athlete, but in life, and as an individual."

THIS IS WHAT IT'S COME DOWN TODon LaGreca vs some NYI fans on "NHL Live"
Due to circumstances currently beyond my control, Point Blank will be closed indefinitely starting today at 4:00 pm. Could be for a few days or longer. I do not know, but will keep you posted. Thank you for the support always, and for hanging in. Coincidentally, a dear friend of mine in the business sent me this video from today of Don LaGreca on "NHL Live," that touches on the state of Islanders talk in the media. Funny and true.

The Los Alamos Symphony Orchestra (LASO) is celebrating their 60th Anniversary with a concert to be presented at 7 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Two former Los Alamos High School students and former members of the LASO will present the featured number on the program. Kay Johnson Newnam, violin and Thomas O'Connor, oboe, are now professional musicians and will perform the "Concerto for Oboe and Violin," by J.S. Bach. Also on the program will be the "Fanfare Diamante" by local composer and trombonist T.E. Vives, "Capriccio Italienne" by Tschaikovsky and "Symphony No. 5" by Ludwig Van Beethoven.
During the war years Los Alamos had no organized instrumental group, but there were several small chamber groups and a very fine jazz band that entertained the community weekly. A group comprised of military and civilian personnel was formed under the direction of Robert Dike, a French horn player. Dike wrote special scores for the available talent. Some of the people who performed under Dike were Diz and Al Graves, Moll Flanders, Eric Jette, Frank Bice, Robert Richtmeyer, Harold Fishbein, Hermond Lacey, Frank Osvath and Don Lovelace.

There has been considerable news recently concerning the controversy between Helper City and the Bryner Ploutz ditch company in regards to providing secondary water to share holders of the ditch company to the area surrounding the Helper Junior High, an area commonly known in Helper as town site.
Bryner Ploutz is a non-profit association registered with the state of Utah as such. The company has been providing irrigation water to the town site area for almost 100 years. In fact an alfalfa field once occupied the area where the junior high is now located. Originally an open ditch ran through the area years ago and as housing developed in the area, the gutters of the various streets became the water way for access to the various share holders. This access has existed for many years.
Three or four years ago Bryner Ploutz installed a pipe line to replace its open ditch to provide for a pressurized system. In doing so only a major portion of the service area was pressurized, leaving the town site area to open access due to the high cost of digging up the streets to install the pipe line. The irrigation water in this area continued to travel openly through the gutters.
The controversy developed when Helper City planned to replace the infrastructure in the town site area including storm drain systems. This meant the irrigation system water to share holders in area would be drained off before reaching them. The idea arose that now was an opportune time to put the area into the pressurize system when the culinary water and sewer systems were being replaced. The obstacle, again the high cost of doing this, estimated to be $136,000 dollars.
Utah water laws stipulate that anytime a proposal is made to make a change in the existing right of way of an irrigation water system, those making the change are responsible for the cost of the change and upkeep there after. The president of the ditch company maintains that Helper City should of taken this into consideration when the infrastructure plan was devised. The cost of a pressurizing the town site area should of been factored into the original contract for work in the area he maintains.
It now appears that the ball is in the city council's court. To deny access to the irrigation share holders in the town site area invites a law suit. With the apparent lack of funds, the only solution to the problem at the present time seems to be, abolish the storm drain systems in the town site area and allow the irrigation water to continue to flow along the gutters of the various streets as it has for many years in the past.

Albany Bureau
Former state Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith paid cash in exchange for support from key Republican officials as he tried to get on the party's ballot for the 2013 New York City mayoral race, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office accused Smith, a Queens Democrat, of organizing bribes as he attempted to force his way on the Republican line last year. He was one of six people charged as part of the scheme, along with a sitting New York City councilman, two GOP borough chairmen and two local officials from Rockland County.
"Today's charges demonstrate, once again, that a show-me-the-money culture seems to pervade every level of New York government," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. "The complaint describes an unappetizing smorgasbord of graft and greed involving six officials who together built a corridor of corruption stretching from Queens and the Bronx to Rockland County and all the way up to Albany itself."
Smith is the latest in a long list of state politicians who've found themselves in either legal or eithical trouble.
Also charged in the plot were New York City Councilman Dan Halloran, Bronx GOP Chairman Joseph Savino, Queens GOP Chairman Vincent Tabone, Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin and Deputy Mayor Joseph Desmaret.
Smith, once the first African American majority leader of the state Senate, is now a key member of the coalition of Republicans and Democrats that control the chamber. He became the fifth member of the Independent Democratic Conference shortly before the caucus joined forces with the GOP in December.
His spokesman said Smith would be cleared of wrongdoing.
"(Smith) will be vindicated when the all the facts in the case are revealed," Todd Shapiro, the spokesman, said in a statement.
All of those charged are expected to be arraigned Tuesday in White Plains federal court.
Jasmin and Desmaret are accused of participating in a scheme to transfer Spring Valley land to a private interest who was believed to be developing a real estate project that Smith had agreed to direct state funds to.
Jasmin, according to the complaint, promised her vote in favor of transferring the land in exchange for an ownership stake in the project, while Desmaret allegedly accepted about $10,000 in cash bribes.
In order for Smith to run as a Republican in the mayoral race, he would have had to receive approval from at least three of New York City's GOP leaders. The FBI, through an undercover operation with wiretaps and a cooperating witness, accused Smith of offering tens of thousands of dollars to Tabone and Savino for their support, along with $20,500 to Halloran to set up key meetings.
Smith and Halloran were both caught on wire taps with the witness, with Smith saying he wanted to "close the deal" with the borough GOP leaders.
Bharara, meanwhile, highlighted a quote from Halloran as reason for a culture change in New York.
"That's politics. That's politics. It's all about how much," Halloran said, according to the criminal complaint. "And that's our politicians in New York. They're all like that, all like that, and they get like that because of the drive that the money does for everything else. You can't do anything without (expletive) money."
Smith was charged with conspiracy to bribe, wire fraud and extortion, while Tabone, Savino and Halloran were charged with conspiracy and wire fraud. Jasmin and Desmaret were both charged with mail fraud.
Bharara, who has targeted a number of state lawmakers as part of high-profile corruption cases, said New Yorkers should "demand more" from their government.
"Any time you have a situation that happens again and again and again and it happens to people that should know better ... then something is broken in the system," Bharara said.

Buzz: Tebow Wanted Out of His Situational Role
There was some confusion today as the Jets utilized Jeremy Kerley in their spread/wildcat package instead of Tim Tebow. Apparently, Tebow's frustrations took their toll with the announcement on Tuesday that McElroy leapfrogged him on the depth chart which led Tebow to tell the team to cut ties.
According to a Sunday report by ESPNNewYork.com, Tebow asked out of the Jets' Wildcat scheme after learning that Greg McElroy would bypass him on the depth chart and start against the San Diego Chargers.
The New York Post also confimed the report, citing a source.
So why was Tebow even active on Sunday? According to ESPNNewYork.com, Tebow was available in case McElroy went down with an injury. The team — and this is really bad — didn't want to play erstwhile starter Mark Sanchez for fear of a negative fan reaction at MetLife Stadium.
CBS occasionally panned the cameras over to the sidelines and would catch all three quarterbacks on the bench with Sparano. While McElroy and Sanchez were engaged with the coordinator, Tebow was seemingly disinterested half the time and was not paying attention to the conversations. Understandably, things have not worked out as well as he could have hoped but (the perceived) pouting on the sidelines isn't exactly the most ideal way to vent your frustrations. The icing on the entire soiree is that Tebow was all but named the number two quarterback if the Jets were really that wary of putting Sanchez in at home. This has been a lose-lose situation for everyone involved and the sooner the organization moves on to 2013, the better.

Hole is an alternative rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1989 when lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter Courtney Love put an ad in the newspaper for a lead guitarist. Guitarist Eric Erlandson answered the ad and Hole began. The band reached the height of their commercial and critical success throughout the 1990s. The band stared out with a punk-rock gritty sound that morphed into a more controlled, melodic power pop/rock sound with each successive album. Hole originally was a trio of Love, Erlandson, and bassist Lisa Roberts, before adding drummer Caroline Rue and third guitarist, Mike Giesbrecht.

Warhawk Museum showcases aircraft from America's wars
NAMPA, Idaho - Walking through the doors at the Warhawk Museum in Nampa is like walking through a time portal and arriving in yesteryear.
The museum features collections from both World Wars, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War and a few items from the war in Iraq.
The museum started back in 1989 inside a 7,000 square foot airplane hanger at the Caldwell Airport but museum co-founder Sue Paul said growth forced the museum to change locations.
"We moved from Caldwell to the Nampa Airport in 2001 where we built this 20,000 square foot museum because we simply out grew the 7,000 square foot hanger in Caldwell," Paul said.
Once the new location was up and running, it didn't take long for more collections of airplanes, cars and other items to find a place inside the Museum.
Last year, the museum expanded with the opening of an 18,000 square foot wing that included rare items from the Cold War, Korean and Vietnam War eras.
Some of the biggest attractions are the fighter planes that are still operational and used in various air shows. Pilot John-Curtis Paul said the collection of aircraft caused the museum to experience it's greatest expansion.
"We've grown into having everything ranging from a WWI D-7 to a Triplane and all the way up to an F-87 Saber jet and Huey gunship," Paul said.
Museum executives are already anticipating more expansion as they continue to collect more rare items. >>> Visit the museum's website

With the growing mobile payments space of around $68 million, AT&T and Apriva have come out with their new app which allows small business enterprises to take in credits and debit cards which their new AprivaPay and AprivaPay Pro applications for smartphones. This will convert all the smartphones which carry these into centers where one can carry out all their sales and hence more money will be flowing.
It basically works on the principal that if there is a greater chance of accepting payments given to the enterprises then they will be able it increase their business and this will mean more revenue for all the parties concerned here. AprivaPay is an app for Unlocked Iphone 4 which can be accessed through the browser of your smartphone which you can use to get the credit card info down and hence carry out your transaction. The AprivaPay Pro is more advanced software which can be however downloaded onto smart phones and may be linked optionally with a card reader thereby allowing lots of flexibility to the owner of the business which is going to implement this device. This service makes economic transactions very easy for smaller holdings as infrastructure is still a problem in this sector. The AprivaPay can be bought at a rental cost of $14.95 per month and the pro is available at a cost of 5 dollars more and therefore for this small meager amount the enterprise is well set to increase efficiency.
In terms of reliability, AprivaPay is pretty much a well known name in the world of wireless money payments and has numerous tie ups with several major bank networks all around the world and is a pioneer of the wireless payment technology in the world and they along with AT&T an equally well known entity in wireless mobiles will surely give your business the edge.

It seems that ArcMap keeps a cache for every layer which contains features data and every time wants to refresh layer or apply a change,uses tis cache.As I found,when ArcMap wants to draw a layer from the scratch,sends this query to geodatabase:
select ObjectId,Shape from "featureClassName" [where "layer definition query expression"]
In editing mode,when using snapping,it seems the features data in this cache are used to determine snapping state while mouse movement.I don't know how ArcMap stores spatial data in this cache,in ESRI shape format or as WKB,But I need to retrive these features data.
Is there any way to retrive feature data of a layer using its cache(layer cache) instead of using IFeatureClass::get_Feature method? .....Maybe my idea isn't right and a layer doesn't have any cache(I don't mean cache which is optional for layers and boosts the speed of layer draw),but I'm almost sure spatial data of layers(map) is stored in ArcMap memory somewhere and ArcMap uses it for its operation like snapping during edit operation.Is there any way to access this part of ArcMap data(if really exists)?
Thanks and Regards
Thanks Kirk,bu I don't want to setup a cache,I want to retrieve data from ArcMap cache.ISpatialCacheManager doesn't offer any method for getting a specific data from it.Let me discuss what I mean in more details.
When I put this code inside my program
IFeature ipF=ipMyFeatureClassObject.GetFeature(10);
ArcMap issues a select command to geodatabase,let's suppose:
select * from MyFeatureClassTableName Where ObjectId=10
and gives back a record of data.
In edit mode,ArcMap can't use this method to get spatial data and calculate snapping state for features on the map because of time consuming this method has and snapping calculation needs a high speed data retrieve,also because mouse can moves every where on the map and snapping is enabled for any zoom,all these witnesses shows that spatial data must be available somewhere in memory and I'm looking for a method to access it.
If all these consumptions not come true,so there must be a perfect method that ArcMap uses to retrieve spatial data from geodatabase on the fly(for example 4 or 6 level spatial indexing based on the map extent and use the mouse position to retrieve only part of spatial data while mouse movement very fast,in this way only has access to geodatabase when the smallest indexing area of mouse changes).
I'm dealing with developing a tool like "Sketch Tool and "Edit tool" for a data source other than ArcObject data source and I don't want to setup a cache parallel with ArcMap.if possible I want to use same data which ArcMap stores in memory for this data source.
Now,do you guys think these are true consumptions and if yes is there any way to access ArcMap spatial data in its memory?
Best Regards

The purpose of this study is to collect epidemiological data in children and adolescents with chronic hepatitis B(CHB), in particular data on the prevalence of HBeAg positive disease with associated ALT levels , active HBeAg negative disease and decompensated CHB in the pediatric population. Family history and history of HBV transmission is essential to assess the course of the disease and can be used to determine the best mode of treatment This information will be used to assist with the feasibility and design of studies for the Novartis clinical pediatric development program, as the current epidemiology of ediatric CHB is not accurately known in Western countries or the rest of the world making pediatric studies difficult to plan and conduct. This study forms part of the Novartis Pediatric Investigational Plan, a post marketing approval commitment to the EMEA Pediatric Committee.

ISLANDERS COUNTRY HELD HOSTAGE, DAY 37:35 pm – Hunter injured; Weight part of Guerin deal?
7:35 – Billy Jaffe reports that Trent Hunter is injured, that he "tried to go" during warmups. Makes you wonder why the Islanders didn't have another Bridgeport player here if Hunter couldn't play, but alrighty then.
It's possible the Islanders excel dressing only 17 skaters.
Islanders PR just came over to say Trent has a "lower body injury." Someone else said it's an ankle.
7:15 pm – Saturday, it was Bill Guerin mysteriously missing when the game started.
Tonight, it's Trent Hunter. Islanders playing shorthanded again. Hunter was at the Coliseum before the game. Where he is now is unknown.
7:00 pm – Opening faceoff between the Islanders and Colorado about to drop, and no word of a deal. Three hours until the end of live-blogging a Bill Guerin trade.
Scott Gordon was asked before the game if Guerin would be in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers if he isn't traded by the Wednesday 3:00 pm deadline. The Islanders coach said yes and added, "I have no issues with Billy."
Team represented with scouts at tonight's game: Philadelphia, Rangers, San Jose, Detroit. Obviously, they're not here to watch Guerin and Doug Weight. Colorado could be selling, too.
3:25 pm – Doug Weight could join Bill Guerin in a package deal before Wednesday's trade deadline, a league source tells Point Blank.
The offer that prompted the Islanders to take Guerin out of the lineup on Saturday is no longer 100% intact. However, as the Islanders contemplate a series of trade proposals for their captain, at least one of the offers requests Weight's inclusion in the deal. The playmaking center, currently out with a knee injury, is 9-26-35 in 44 games this season.
This would be a victory for the close friends, who enjoyed their reunion on Long Island and proved they still have good on-ice chemistry. It could also be a victory for the Islanders, who might finally strike a deal that satisfies their demands for both Guerin and Weight.
The 38-year old forwards are potential unrestricted free agents this summer.
2:50 pm – I have made the editorial decision that if Guerin is not traded by 10:00 tonight, the Bye-Bye-Billy Live Blog will end.
Not that I'm sick of it – and I have nothing against a little blog on the NHL's worst team getting 2 million daily hits – but it would simply be time to move on. There will be plenty of news items. There are a few other stories I can tell. (I hope to have a solid one at the end of tonight's game). When – if – a Guerin deal happens, we'll write it up just like any news story.
When we started it on Saturday, I just didn't think we'd be here this long. And if it hasn't already, I don't want it to degenerate into complete and utter BS.
And you know that once I pull the plug, Billy will finally, mercifully, be outta here. Yeah, I'm going to go with that. I know you're reading. I'm doing this for you, Billy.
2:25 pm – Greg Logan preparing for Guerin-Gordon reunion if the captain isn't dealt soon.
Joe Callahan no doubt appreciates the love and concern.
Teams are preparing their "clear day" rosters, the players eligible to play in the American Hockey League playoffs. That's why you're seeing depth guys like Callahan and Nycholat on waivers today. That's all it is.
1:55 pm – When does the statute of limitations on predicting the Islanders' trade partner for Bill Guerin end? As I wrote a few times yesterday, I was zeroed in on the Washington Capitals. But that was my prediction of the team that made the offer that prompted Garth Snow to take Guerin out of the lineup almost 40 hours ago.
There is a difference. Whatever that offer was, it might not be on the table anymore. Seems to me if Guerin isn't dealt by the start of tonight's game, the Islanders have moved on to other offers. They may have already.
Is all this Guerin mayhem getting in the way of the Islanders conducting other business? It's not ideal, but no. The team is capable of juggling the Guerin dilemma with offers for Andy Hilbert, Radek Martinek, Doug Weight, Brendan Witt and others. I always thought if any of those Islanders were dealt, it would be closer to the Wednesday afternoon deadline. Maybe the Islanders can close the Guerin case by then to be fully focused on those final-hour swaps.
1:17 pm – Get a load of this: Jesse Joensuu has been called up from Bridgeport. The 6-4 Finnish right wing, the Islanders' top upside-potential prospect with the Sound Tigers, will make his NHL debut tonight in place of Bill Guerin. If you can't make it to the game – as many won't with this weather – catch JJ's premiere on VERSUS.
Didn't think Joensuu would get a game on the Island this season. Then again, there's been a lot of unpredictable stuff around these parts this season.
1:15 pm – Two media notes. Point Blank will have a brief stint on NHL Home Ice on XM Radio sometime in the 3:00 pm hour today to talk you-know-what with Mike Ross and Gary Green.
Also, I was wrong in my estimate on News 12 Long Island last night. Michael Colman asked me how many Hits the site would get on Sunday. I told him we did more than 800,000 on Saturday, so figured we'd do a little over a million on Sunday. I was off by a bit.
The final tally was 2,178,434. And to think, Sunday is usually the slowest day of the week by far.
12:45 pm – Although frustration has reached several parts of Islanders Country at both Shining and Shawshank levels, perhaps it's time for a little perspective. I've dug up the True Value piece I wrote on Bill Guerin seemingly two months ago, but in reality 12 days ago. I've copy-and-pasted the bottom half of my story, all that matters. It could shed some light on the holdup, or at least the difficulties that come with a deal like this. Looking forward to your feedback.
February 20, 2009
True Value: Since it's Guerin's call, the Islanders' asking price could be diminished. A first round pick or top prospect would seem out of the question. So you know what that means. (Since some readers get really irked every time I say an Islander is worth a second-rounder, I'll end it there). And do you remember this Saturday afternoon conversation?
PB View: The Islanders should include Guerin and his representative in every step of the process. They should show him this respect not just because he holds the no-move and all the cards, but also because he is their captain and has given the franchise two solid years.
Prediction (as of Feb. 20*): Too much has to happen for this to get done. We predict Guerin ends up not being moved, and then is signed by another team in the summer. Because of the no-move clause – which the Islanders included to get Guerin to New York – they will receive nothing in return for him. Until we hear that the Guerin camp and Islanders management is getting together to seriously discuss his future, that's our prediction and we're sticking to it.
11:55 am, NVMC – Islanders fans frustrated by the lack of Bill Guerin trade news may now have a kindred spirit.
Bill Guerin.
In a story posted about a half hour ago by TSN, whispers of Guerin's discontent have surfaced: "Sources tell TSN that Guerin has become frustrated by the ongoing uncertainty and has done nothing to complicate or stall the trade from going through."
Guerin has always been open and accessible with the media. And now, as I wrote yesterday, he is in a situation where he's had to lie, fib or – worse – avoid not just press pals by real-life friends. Billy and I have a very close mutual friend, a very close mutual friend who has no idea what's up with Bill and is dying to find out. While no one is crying for Guerin, it is a difficult situation.
The Islanders did not have a replacement forward at their morning skate, just completed at the Coliseum. Richard Park skated but told me he needs to rest another week. Nate Thompson skated today, but is not an option. A forward from Bridgeport should be on his way. Whoever it is, he played in three games the last three days. He didn't need a workout this morning.
12:10 am, March 2 – That should do it for the night, friends. Thanks for the feedback on the News 12 phoner. Turned into a Point Blank infomercial, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.
If the Islanders trade Bill Guerin or (as expected) continue to keep him off the ice until a trade is done, the team needs a forward from Bridgeport. Trouble is, tonight's home game against goalie coach Jeff Hackett's Colorado Avalanche would be the Sound Tigers player's fourth in four days. Maybe Richard Park can throw on a flak jacket and rush back.
If the Islanders are recalling a player from Bridgeport, it's possible he got on the road soon after his team's 3-2 win in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton today. The traveling will be nasty today. By the way, that's three wins in three days for Jack Capuano's team. Added to the Islanders' impressive win over Buffalo, that's four organeyezational victories buried in the avalanche of the Guerin saga.

Priscila Santos points to the heaven after making a free throw against North Idaho College on March 3
In her short time at USU Eastern, Priscila Santos has certainly done enough to be remembered in the annals of Eastern's athletic history.
The Brazilian born athlete came to Price after a chance encounter with Eastern head basketball coach Dave Paur during a trip to Brazil two years ago.
"Price is very different from San Paulo," Santos said with a smile on her face. "But I've always felt welcome here with my teammates and everyone at the school."
Since then, Santos has broken school scoring records and helped lead the women's team for the last two years.
Paur said Santos was able to rack up incredible scoring performances, including a school record 50 points against Stone Child College during a game in December, while being double and triple teamed by opposing teams. She also racked up scoring performances of 46, 43, 42 and 40 points.
"She has had an amazing career," Paur said. "We may never see another player as good as her ever come to Price again. She is just a tremendous athlete."
The trend of signing foreign players to play basketball at USU Eastern may continue on after the career Santos has had. Paur said he is already looking into signing up to three more Brazilian players for next season.
While Paur talks highly of Santos' play on the court, Santos is very aware of the impact he has had on her life since coming to Price.
"Paur is like my dad," she said. "He helps get the best out of me on the court."
Santos picked up her shooting touch by taking 500 shots per day back home in Brazil while growing up.
Santos credits her teammates unselfish play with helping her attain success on the court.
"We didn't do anything differently throughout the season," Santos said of her high scoring games this season. "My teammates and I played well together and we worked hard to win games."
Just last week, Santos was named as the Region 18 Player of the Year. She scored a total of 872 points, with an NJCAA leading average of 29.1 points per game. The USU Eastern Lady Eagles finished the season with an 18-14 record which ended after advancing to the SWAC tournament semifinals.
In addition to her success on the court, Santos is also attaining success in the classroom. The sophomore is a 4.0 student and is slated to be the college's valedictorian at graduation in April.
While she has attained success on the junior college level, the next step for Santos, 24, is still unknown. The NCAA clearinghouse will issue a ruling in April on whether she is still eligible to participate in NCAA basketball on a Division I or II level. If Santos is not eligible with the NCAA, then schools within the NAIA would become a possibility for Santos.
Regardless of the outcome, Paur said Santos' story will be one for USU Eastern to remember for many years to come.
"Priscila is an amazing student and basketball player," he said. "Overall, it's just an amazing story to follow."

Release Notes: 3/26/2009
Traditionally after site maintenance we've only shared information about the most significant new features. But after witnessing the discussions about what else has changed, we figured more frequent, casual "release notes" would be good to publish as well. That way you can get a broader sense of what's new on the site, from major features to cosmetic touches, as well as background on the thinking or motivation behind some of these items.
* Upload Progress Bar: A new Flash uploader is up for all supported browsers and it comes with a long-awaited (and much-requested) feature: an upload progress bar that lets you know the status of your upload. Our next step will be providing the estimated video processing time for your upload.
* Simpler HD Parameter: We want to give you more control over how your video looks, including the option of it being eye-blazingly clear (HD), so we've now added an official URL parameter (hd=1) for sharing HD links.
* Tweet Tweet: Everyone's on The Twitter these days, so we've added a "share to Twitter" button under the Share options so you can easily send a video into your Twitterstream. (Feel free to change the prefilled text, if you like.) This was a big internal request, but we know many of you asked for it, too. We don't currently shorten the Video URL automagically but hope to get to it down the road.
* Do You EDU? Educational Hub Launches: Using YouTube as a vehicle to democratise learning is one of the coolest, unintended outcomes of the site's existence. YouTube EDU is a volunteer project sparked by a group of employees who wanted to find a better way to collect and highlight all the great educational content being uploaded to YouTube by colleges and universities. We'll feature some of these videos on the home page on Friday and elaborate further in a separate post on that day.
* Mobile Improvements: We're working hard to develop apps and a mobile Web site that enables the best possible video experience on as many devices as possible -- we recognise that mobile is a key component of how people will consume video in the future. So in addition to launching a new mobile landing page, we've cleaned up the upload flow from phone-to-YouTube so this should be a lot more smooth and intuitive now. More on this in a post this weekend.
*Easier to Log In With Google Credentials: If you have your YouTube account associated with your Google account, you no longer have to go to a separate page to log in to YouTube with your Google account information. It's all in one place at sign-in.
* Neater Watch Pages: Yes, sometimes YouTube can feel a bit cluttered, so last night we took some time to "clean up" the presentation on the watch page. Generally, we've heard from you that the action area on this page has been a bit confusing and should be made simpler. So we're streamlining the space beneath the player to better use the available real estate and to present all of the actions more consistently. Some changes you'll notice: a) the action links are a bit smaller and more condensed; b) we've eliminated the tabs for Comments, Statistics & Data and instead made all of these available in expandable sections (which you can collapse/expand using the little arrow), making it easy to expose or hide information in a consistent way. As a side note, we've begun work on a broader watch page redesign to incorporate all the things we've learned since our last major change. Expect to see some ideas and concept sketches on the blog once we're further along.
* A Little Help for Your Friends: The process of connecting with your friends on YouTube will see some bigger improvements soon, but in the meantime, we've added the ability for you to send an invite and personalised note to a username or email address. There's also an instant friend link to instant message if that's your preferred mode of communication -- go to: http://www.youtube.com/my_friends_invite.
* New Names for Sponsored, Promoted and Featured Videos: We've done a bit of spring cleaning with regards to some of the nomenclature on the site. This post from yesterday tells the story.
As always, let us know what you think in the comments below.

Tuere R.Harlem, USAHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairMajor Shedding And BreakageI had high hopes for this product (vegan, organic, etc.) and based on the review I read, I thought it would at least make my hair smell really nice. Well guess what? It was not good in my hair at all. I have dry, kinky, porous, fine type 4 a/b hair and this product didn't really penetrate my hair shaft. Even after using my home steamer, it seemed to simply bead up on the outside of my hair. It didn't have enough slip and ended up leaving my cuticles feeling rough and brittle. Now, while I know that some of my shedding was from neglecting my hair for a couple of weeks, I have used other conditioners before that helped to rehab my hair. Thank goodness it was on sale when I purchased it. I will never buy this again. It's a shame because I really wanted to LOVE this product. The smell is pleasant, but I expected something more.

JanetArizonaHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairHeavenly Fragrance Leaves Hair Soft And Silky!I need a gallon of this conditioner. It smells DIVINE. It is a creamy smell of oranges, lemons, lemongrass, limes and honey. (This comes from the citrus oils in the product,) I love it. The texture is thick like a light lotion and not too watery so it clings to the hair. The fragrance stays after I come from under the dryer. I don't notice a difference in my curls but my hair feels wll-conditioned and not weighed down. INGREDIENTS: Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Sorbitan Stearate, Steareth-21, Glycerin (Vegetable Oil), Cyclomethicone, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey), Basil Flower Leaf Extract, Echinacea Angustifolia Extract, Equisetum Arvense Extract (Horsetail), Hydroxyethyicellulose, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Jojoba Esters, Disodium EDTA, Capryly Glycol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil (Lemon Grass) Citronellol, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool, Phenoxyethanol.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.
