Many people believe the only color for the kitchen is white. They love the clean, fresh sanitary feel and the timeless, classic look. At Merillat, we love the versatility of white kitchen cabinets too. We offer hues ranging from our bright Cotton finish to creamier shades like Chiffon, which give you flexibility to create a white kitchen that complements your unique style.
1. White Is Timeless
White kitchens won't go out of style. White cabinetry makes a kitchen feel clean, airy and bright – features that never go out of style. Plus, white is the perfect background color for almost any other color. With white cabinets you can get colorful with the walls, floors, countertops, back splash and accessories in your kitchen.
2. White is a Good Choice for Small Kitchens
White works well for small kitchens because it is light and bright; making the space appear larger. This accounts for the white kitchen boom in apartments and cottage-style homes.
3. White Gives You Flexibility
Temper an all-white kitchen with touches of other colors and textures. Incorporating white cabinets into your kitchen design will allow you to update the look of your kitchen without changing the cabinetry. Repainting the walls or purchasing new accessories in a different color will create a whole new look.
4. White Works in Contemporary Kitchens
Using white with a slab door style offers a sleek, clean look. Pairing white cabinets with other white surfaces helps make a strong, contemporary statement in the kitchen.
5. Selling Your Home? White Works
White is an excellent color for resale: It's like a blank sheet of paper for prospective buyers.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 27 (HealthDay News) -- The artificial pancreas -- a treatment that's been called the closest thing to a possible cure for type 1 diabetes -- may be another step closer to becoming a reality.
Israeli researchers just released the findings from an overnight trial of their artificial pancreas system at three different camps for youngsters with type 1 diabetes. The artificial pancreas system was able to maintain better blood sugar levels, and helped prevent dangerous overnight drops in blood sugar levels, compared to an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, according to the study.
"There is hope for better control without the fear of [low blood sugar levels], and therefore improvement in quality of life is coming soon," said study author Dr. Moshe Phillip.
Philip is director of the Institute for Endocrinology and Diabetes at the National Center for Childhood Diabetes at the Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, in Tel Aviv. The findings appear in the Feb. 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system turns against healthy cells. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks beta cells in the pancreas, effectively destroying the body's ability to produce the hormone insulin. Insulin helps metabolize carbohydrates from food and fuels the body's cells.
Insulin can't be replaced with a pill. It must be injected with a shot or delivered by a pump that uses a tiny catheter inserted under the skin. This catheter must be changed every few days. The problem with both techniques is that people have to estimate how much insulin they'll need based on the foods they eat and how much activity they'll be doing.
Too much insulin can result in low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), which makes a person with diabetes feel awful, and if left untreated, can ca

Romantic Kauai WeddingsSunday, December 8th, 2013
Planning a Wedding on Kauai
The Garden Isle provides a spectacular setting for a wedding; it's famed for its natural beauty as well as uncrowded, pristine beaches and breathtaking views. Many consider it to be Hawaii's most romantic island, and with a ceremony here, you'll be just steps away from an idyllic honeymoon too.
The Logistics
Getting married in the state of Hawaii is fairly simple. The easiest way to get started is to visit https://emrs.ehawaii.gov/ and complete the online application and make the $60 payment by credit card. The application is available for the issuance of a marriage or civil union license by an agent in the State of Hawaii for up to one year from the application date.
Once you're on Kauai, you'll visit one of the licensing agents on the island to obtain the license. Sandra and Alan Matsumoto are located in the Koloa District on the South Shore of Kauai, closest to Poipu Beach and can be reached at 808-332-7133. There are a number of agents throughout the island; a listing can be found on the government site.
When you've obtained your license, it's good for 30 days. The only requirements for obtaining a marriage license is that both parties are 18 and older and are not more closely related than first cousins. Couples who are 15 to 17 years old can be married but must have proof of age as well as written consent of both sets of parents and written approval from the judge of the family court. Although Civil Unions are legal in Hawaii, currently couples of the same sex cannot yet marry in the state of Hawaii.
Planning the Ceremony
The great news is that Hideaway Cove offers accommodations that may be a great fit for the entire wedding party. Options include everything from studios to two-bedrooms and even a 5-bedroom, 4-bath, the "Big Kahuna." If the entire property is booked with 24 guests, a tented reception can be provided onsite for up to 50 guests. A wedding planner is necessary, but there are many excellent choices available and staff at Hideaway Cove is happy to provide recommendations.
For those that prefer a simple ceremony on the sand, Hideaway Cove owners Herb and Gale Lee were married right on the beach on Kauai and are able to provide referrals for everyone and everything needed from the officiant to flowers, the photographer, and more. Some wedding parties have booked the entire property and decide to go to a luau instead of attending a rehearsal dinner; we've helped charter a bus for them. Others have had a ceremony right on the property, at nearby Plantation Gardens, or Beach House Restaurant followed by a reception at the prospective establishment.
The Honeymoon
Once the ceremony is over, you can relax and enjoy your honeymoon along with Kauai's glorious sunsets, towering waterfalls that cascade down emerald-colored mountains, gorgeous beaches that sit at the edge of warm, turquoise waters, and much more.
Hideaway Cove also offers the ultimate honeymoon stay by ensuring that couples have an unforgettable and unsurpassed experience with rooms that include elegant furnishings as well as Jacuzzi tubs and rainfall showers, perfect for two.
What more could you ask for in a wedding ceremony and honeymoon on Kauai with a little help from Hideaway Cove?
Relax and Unwind – The Spas of KauaiSunday, December 1st, 2013
Spas of Kauai

There is a focus on using natural and indigenous ingredients like pineapple, seaweed, awapuhi root, coconut and Red Kauai clay.
Hawaiian Rainforest Spa
Also in Poipu Beach you'll find the Hawaiian Rainforest Spa located inside Koloa Landing, A Wyndham Grand Resort. The Spa reflects the island's geographic wonders and embraces a strong respect for the Aina, or land. A number of its signature treatments incorporate the Garden Isle's indigenous botanical products. Treatments use purifying body glows combined with herbs as well as Hawaiian sea salts. A variety of massages are available, including the popular Lomi Lomi massage, aromatic foot baths, Swiss facials, and more.

Want to Rejuvenate Your Mind? Try a Vacation on Kauai!Sunday, November 24th, 2013
Rejuvenating the Mind with a Kauai Vacation
If you're dreaming of a vacation in Kauai, there is one more reason on an already long list not to put it off. You probably know that island holidays symbolize the ultimate in relaxation, with the calming of the waves, the salty air and the feel of the sun on your skin, but did you know that studies have shown that spending time near the water offers benefits to your mental health?
Researchers have found that there is a huge link between the water and improving how we feel. Life's problems can quickly seem rather insignificant and stress often magically melts away. Watching a glorious sunset or just spending time outdoors in a beautiful location among nature has been found to reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system and even improve the mood.
Simply knowing that you'll be vacationing on Kauai and looking forward to it causes the brain to release endorphins known as "feel good" or "happy hormones." Once you've arrived, the warm weather and plentiful sun provides comfort, especially for those coming from a cooler climate.
Spending a holiday on Kauai, known as Hawaii's most relaxing island, can help you escape your busy everyday routine and experience its natural beauty and serenity, among a spectacular landscape of rain forest, mountains and beaches. It can allow you to completely rejuvenate and even rediscover yourself in such a pristine, peaceful environment.
A Canadian study found some of the benefits of an island vacation include rest and recuperation from work, the opportunity for new experiences that can expand the mind and promote cultural exchange, personal and social development and increased overall well-being.
If you want to enhance the many benefits to your mind that a vacation on Kauai can bring, there are many other opportunities as well. Hiking to one of the many magnificent waterfalls found throughout the island, and just taking time to watch the water cascade over a cliff can be a meditative and highly relaxing experience. Just taking a stroll through one of the four botanical gardens found on our Garden Island is sure to help reduce stress and calm the mind.
If you enjoy yoga, consider joining a class out on the beach. "Kauai Yoga on the Beach" offers yoga classes right on the sand. Sunrise and sunset classes are offered which can provide one of the most gorgeous backdrops you'll find for your practice. Allow the sights and sounds of the ocean to wake and revitalize your mind, body and spirit by connecting with the energy of the sun. This can truly be a transforming experience. Here, the land is alive with energy that can be traced back to the ancient Hawaiians.
Healing workshops by the day, weekend, or even longer retreats can also be found on the island for those who are interested.
Give your mind and your body a much needed rest and restore by visiting the island of Kauai.
Top 5 Amenities Travelers Look for in a Vacation RentalSunday, July 28th, 2013
Travelers looking for the ultimate tropical escape often choose the island of Kauai as their destination; in fact, the Garden Isle has frequently been named as the number one island in the U.S. to visit by readers of Travel and Leisure magazine. It's hard to beat with its awe-inspiring beauty and peaceful, tranquil atmosphere.
Many of those same travelers expect the same when it comes to lodgings on the island. What are some of the top amenities they look when making a decision on which Poipu Beach vacation rental to choose?
Wi-Fi is an obvious choice for business travelers, but some may be surprised to find that it's ranked number one as the most important amenity for all types of travelers and a variety of accommodation options including Poipu Beach vacation rental, hotels and resorts.
Even travelers on a romantic vacation want to be able to stay in touch with family and friends, upload photos, get travel updates and more. At Hideaway Cove, high speed wireless internet is available property wide. If you didn't bring your laptop, you'll even find a staffed Business Center with a computer, fax, copier and printer available for guests at no charge.
Outdoor living space
An outdoor living space such as a porch, patio, lanai or balcony with a view is also highly desired. Travelers want to be able to enjoy the warm climate, watch the birds or even glimpse dolphins as they leap from the water.
All of the vacation rentals at Hideaway Cove offer an outdoor dining area on covered lanais that even include a stainless steel gas barbecue; some also included that coveted ocean view while all offer a lush garden setting.
Private hot tub
A private hot tub is also an important amenity to many travelers. The ability to soak your cares away, or soothe sore muscles after a long day hiking, surfing or taking part in other outdoor pursuits greatly enhances any vacation experience.
Can you imagine enjoying a magnificent ocean view while relaxing in your own hot tub? A Poipu Beach vacation rental at Hideaway Cove can make this dream a reality too.
High-quality bed linens
It's hard to have a truly enjoyable experience if you don't sleep well at night. When it comes to a comfortable stay, linens with high-thread counts are a must for many travelers. You'll find all the luxurious beds in the vacation rentals at Hideaway Cove feature super comfy pillow-top mattresses and high thread count Egyptian cotton linens.
Concierge services
Concierge services are an important yet often-missed amenity in even some of the finest establishments. Even if you are vacationing in paradise, there are times you might want to spend the day indoors and have delicious meals delivered to your door. Are your muscles craving a massage after a challenging hike on the Nepali Coast or other thrilling adventure?
Hideaway Cove offers concierge services that include an option for a private chef as well as an in-room massage. They can make recommendations as to activities, restaurants, entertainment and shopping or even help make that hard-to-get reservation.
If you thought staying in a Poipu Beach vacation rental meant having to go without some of your favorite amenities, think again. You'll have everything you want and much more by choosing Hideaway Cove.
Ocean Views and a Private Hot TubSunday, July 28th, 2013
Our Seabreeze Two Bedroom Two Bath is Hideaway Cove's most popular accommodation, so reservations should be made at least six months in advance. Enjoy ocean views from your spacious 1600 sq. ft with everything you'll need for a relaxing stay. Your two lanais offer options–one for relaxing and outdoor dining and the other for your private hot tub. The Seabreeze is a favorite of honeymooners, who enjoy the ocean views, hot tub and private hot tub. New additions include a fifty inch HDTV and entertainment center plus HDTVs in both bedrooms.
4 Reasons to Choose Hideaway Cove for Your Romantic GetawayMonday, May 13th, 2013
If you've made the decision to visit the Garden Isle for your romantic escape, you probably already know that the breathtaking isle is often referred to as the best when it comes to a tranquil, romantic setting filled with spectacular scenic wonders. From awe-inspiring sunsets to cascading falls, translucent freshwater pools, picturesque beaches and emerald colored-mountains that dip dramatically down to turquoise waters, the scenery is hard to beat.
When it comes time to choose the idyllic place to stay, there is no doubt you'll want accommodations that meet or exceed the best of what the island has to offer for the ultimate Kauai romantic getaway, including a blend of the ultimate in relaxation as well as romantic activities and more thrilling adventures.
We believe Hideaway Cove is the ideal answer for honeymooners, those who are celebrating an anniversary, or any type of romantic holiday – here is a look at just four of the reasons why.
Concierge Services
A special vacation deserves special treatment and the ultimate in pampering. We'll go out of our way to ensure each guest has an unforgettable, fantastic experience by providing the services that will help you to do just that.
Looking for the best beach to view the most gorgeous sunsets on the island? Do you desire an intimate, upscale dining experience? Want to know where the best tours or activities can be found?

Concierge Services will make all the arrangements while you indulge in Hawaiian-inspired cuisine featuring fresh, local ingredients without having to leave the comfort of your home away from home.
In-room massage
A couples' massage is an especially enjoyable way to spend time relaxing together, allowing your cares to melt away in the presence of each other's company. If you don't want to head out to a spa, an in-room massage is another option you can choose at Hideaway Cove. A side-by-side massage is a wonderfully romantic experience.
Luxurious rooms
Of course, your ultimate Poipu Beach romantic vacation must include a luxurious room to come back to after a day of enjoying what the island has to offer. Elegant furnishings here are top of the line including four-poster carved pineapple, canopy and sleigh beds with high thread count Egyptian cotton linens. Baths offer Jacuzzi tubs and rainfall showers, just right for two.
Enjoy the endless sunshine by dining outdoors in your covered lanai, or cuddle up together indoors and enjoy the entertainment center featuring a large cable television, cable radio, CD player and DVD player.
We think you'll agree that Hideaway Cove is the best choice for a romantic getaway on the Garden Isle.

MWV has also developed various customization options for fragrance packaging with MWV's Melodie Clikit IP pump. Clikit IP is a new generation, resin-injected, click-on pump offering an infinite range of customized colors. The pump perfectly imitates the prestige look of metal. It also features various decorative finishes, including pearl, iridescent, soft touch and sparkle and sublimation for tailor-made images and patterns to communicate brand image on the pump. Sublimation allows for the pump to be fully integrated into the pack design since now the bottle, pump, cap and outer carton can be decorated with the same tailor made image.

There are about 170 million people infected with hepatitis C worldwide, according to background information in the study. Many don't know they have it.
The standard treatment is a two-drug cocktail of interferon, which makes the immune system more effective in eradicating the virus, and ribavirin, an antiviral, which cures about half of those infected, said Dr. Bruce Bacon, director of the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at Saint Louis University and co-director of the Saint Louis University Liver Center.
However, the side effects can be grueling, including flu-like symptoms, fatigue, depression and low white blood cell counts. Some patients have to be on the drugs for about six months, while some need about a year of treatment to kick the infection, Bacon said.
For those who don't respond to the two-drug cocktail, there are few options, Lanford said. Blacks are more likely to be among those in whom the treatments do not work, possibly due to genetic factors, Lanford noted.
SPC3649 may one day replace interferon, or be combined with the other drugs to augment it, Lanford said. Some evidence indicates it may work in those who don't respond to interferon. In the study, researchers gave four infected chimps SPC3649 intravenously for 12 weeks.
While the findings are exciting, the study involved only four chimps and there's a long way to go before this drug is ready for humans, Bacon said.
"What they have shown is successful reduction in the virus and no clear evidence of resistance, which are two of the major principals that need to be achieved with new therapies," Bacon said. "But what they have to prove now is whether this is a durable respo

H2O – Nothing To Prove (Bridge Nine)
Original release date: May 27th, 2008
Seven years after their last full-length album, New York's H2O finally have a new record, and it finds them continuing to deliver the positive, melodic hardcore they began playing in 1995, minus the overtly pop inflections that weakened 2001's Go in the eyes of some.
The album kicks off strongly with 1995. This song has it all: aggressively catchy guitars, racing drums and addictive gang vocals backing up just about every second line that comes from Toby Morse's mouth. The rest of the album follows suit, amping up on some tracks and mellowing just a touch on Sunday. However, despite the strength of the songs, the album missteps with the overuse of spoken soundbites between almost every track. These interludes quickly wear thin and sap the repeat listening quality of an otherwise fine album.
Maintaining the band's posi-core attitude, the uplifting lyrics generally look on the bright side – on Fairweather Friend, Morse focuses more on love for his true friends than hate for a fake, while Sunday balances the loss of Morse's father with the gift of his son. Most of the lyrics are equally personal, from the straight edge affirmations of Still Here to the powerful love song Unconditional. Tough guys have feelings too, as Heart On My Sleeve makes clear, pleading for people to look past the singer's tattoos before passing judgement.
After such a long absence from the studio, the record is understandably a celebration, and a whole bunch of hardcore legends join the party to provide guest vocals, including Roger Miret on Nothing To Prove, Freddy Cricien on A Thin Line, Civ on Still Here, and Kevin Seconds on Fairweather Friend. In this company, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio could seem an unexpected choice to grace anthemic final track What Happened? (which also features Lou Koller of Sick Of It All) but it may nonetheless be the best song (it's hard to choose) from a strong return.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
One property of all SSIS packages that you must understand is the ProtectionLevel. This property tells SSIS how to handle sensitive information stored within your packages. Most commonly this is a password stored in a connection string. Why is this information important? If you don't set the ProtectionLevel correctly, the package may become unusable. Other developers may be unable to open the package or the package may fail when you go to execute it. Understanding these options lets you get out in front of possible problems and will help you to fix an issue if a problem crops up. In a perfect world, you would not need to store sensitive data, but each and every environment is different. Let's look at each of the ProtectionLevel options.
When the package is saved, sensitive values will be removed. This will result in passwords needing to be supplied to the package, through a configuration file or by the user.
This will encrypt all sensitive data on the package with a key based on the current user profile. This sensitive data can only be opened by the user that saved it. It another user opens the package, all sensitive information will be replaced with blanks. This is often a problem when a package is sent to another user to work on.
Sensitive data will be saved in the package and encrypted with a supplied password. Every time the package is opened in the designer, you will need to supply the password in order to retrieve the sensitive information. If you cancel the password prompt, you will be able to open the package but all sensitive data will be replaced with blanks. This works well if a package will be edited by multiple users.
This works the same as EncryptSensitiveWithPassword except that the whole package will be encrypted with the supplied password. When opening the package in the designer, you will need to specify the password or you won't be able to view any part of the package.
This works the same as EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey except that the whole package will be encrypted. Only the user that created the package will be allowed to open the package.
This option will use SQL Server database roles to encrypt information. This will only work if the package is saved to an SSIS server for execution.
So that's it. This option is pretty basic but it is important to understand so that you can be spared unnecessary frustration.

Can you provide any further imformation about the ServerStorage option?
Nice summary. This has been really helpful. Thanks Eric
Thank you for the information. Now I understand much more about SSIS Package Protection Levels.
nice article, curious would this SSIS property setting apply to third party connectors (i.e. Attunity) which appear to not save password to when another user opens/runs the package? I basically, want to persist the passwd regards who opens/runs the job.
Thanks for the clear and detailed explanation.
Thanks, This helped me today !
Thanks Eric it helped a lpt
Thanks this is very helpful for me.:)
Thank you for this post. I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with.
Should the protectionlevel have any effect on running the package interactively? For some reason when I have it set to "do not save sensitive" it ignores the password even though it is provided.
Many thanks. I found this article very useful, I understand much more about SSIS Package Protection Levels.
Thank you Eric. Who/what defines the sensitive data and where is this specified?
very nice,

Comments about Cow Bells :
I bought these bells as favors for my ranch-style wedding. These were the best-priced ones I found and they are solid and sturdy. I just love them! I like the multi-colors so people can feel it's more personal to them since they picked the color they wanted, but I also wish white, yellow and rust (old) color were available. I tied a white ribbon with our copper-imprinted names and wedding date to the bell handle as opposed to sticking a sticker on the bell, which seemed cheap to me. It looks great! I am very happy with this purchase!

Illegal Logging
WWF defines illegal logging as occurring when timber is harvested or traded in violation of relevant national or sub-national laws or where access to forest resources or trade in forest products is authorized through corrupt practices.
Why is illegal logging harmful?
Illegal logging is unsustainable and harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans. Some of the key consequences of illegal logging include:
- Many species experience loss of habitat.
- Loss of income for people whose livelihoods depend on forests.
- Loss of forest resources for local use, such as medicine, fuel wood, food and drinking water.
- Governments can experience loss of revenue from taxes and duties.
- By not paying taxes, illegal loggers are able to undercut market prices, creating unfair competition and causing a depression in world timber prices.
- Deterioration of the law and corruption.
How can I make sure that the products I buy aren't from illegally logged forests?
Always check the packaging of your products to ensure that they are certified by a credible source credible forest certification (like FSC) which ensures that the product has come from responsibly-managed forests that are sustainable sources of timber and paper products.
Which forest certifications are credible?
In 2006 WWF and the World Bank developed a Forest Certification Assessment Guide (FCAG) to assess the quality of certification schemes. Currently, the only forest certification scheme that adheres to the WWF standards is that of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
In 2010 Kleenex Cottonelle toilet paper received FSC certification, along with all other locally produced Kimberly-Clark tissue products including Kleenex Facial Tissue and Viva paper towel.

I did the "Mix" tape last year and burned off a CD from Comcast Rhapsody of many of her favorite songs. Believe it or not, she wore the CD out and now wants another.... and another. I'm starting to feel like a DJ taking requests. =O)
A great gift idea, especially if your Mom isn't computer savy.
Looks like Savannah Sweets are going to do Mother's Day this year. They'll gift and UPS deliver many of their goodies. You can order online and we know how good their treats are. Bear Claws, Glazed Pecans and Divinity have been top "gift" requests for my out of state family members.
Especially those New Hampshire ones. =O)
I noticed you used the word "mum" in your first paragraph ;) How sweet. Every year, I try hard to find a card for my mum that doesn't say "mom" on it. It's hard because the ones that say "mother" can be very stiff and formal, which my mother is certainly not. And in the eight years I've lived in the U.S., I have only once found a card that had "mum" written on it.
I love the idea of the CD cover with a picture of you with your mother from when you were a kid. Too cute!
When I first moved to the U.S., and I had a much thicker accent than I do now 8 years later, I was in tenth grade. I remember talking to a classmate about my "mum," and halfway through our conversation, he interrupted me to ask me "why do you say it like you're talking about "mums," the flowers?" I guess he didn't know we spell it differently. But to the Brits, it's always seemed odd to say "mom."
I think the issue is pronunciation. Now I've lived here for several years, I get why it's spelled that way. But in the U.K., "mom" wouldn't be pronounced "mahm" like it is here (excuse my poor linguistics here - I don't know how to key in the pronunciation characters). But it is more like...hmmm...I can't even think of something that sounds the same because I'm pretty sure in general Americans pronounce all words with the letter "o" in them as a long "o." So I guess all I can say is that across the pond, "mom" sounds as weird to Brits as "mum" does to Americans.
I always do breakfast for my mommy. Same thing, bacon, eggs, grits and toast. She loves it! The first year my brother and I did it, we burnt the bacon, bad!
However, I like the brunch idea alot better! Everything looks so good, and I'm a bigger fan of brunch!
I think I'm going to have to do the CD as well. She always says stuff like "OH I love this song!" So that might work very well!
Oh yay for great ideas!

Activities: oohoo - Tab display
Maintained by Patrick Thibaudeau, Nicolas Bretin
The tab display module allows you to setup your information in a tabbed format. This helps to clean up your course by combining several resources into Tabs.
Moodle 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
Tab Display is a resource module used to display course information such as notes, readings, biography etc, in a tab structure per chapter/module within a course.
Websites can also be embedded into the tabs. Using Moodle auto-linking, helps create links to other activities or resources.
New features:
- A general description can be added above the tabs
- PDF embedded functionality. If you put a link with a PDF file on the content of a tab (without any text around), the PDF file will be displayed in an iFrame

- Fri, Jun 14, 2013, 11:56 PMHi Andreas
Do you mean that when you click on the tab, it opens a word file or other file type.
- Thu, Jul 11, 2013, 7:17 AMGreat plug in, but FAILING the latest release.. DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SYSTEMS.. It has a fault
- Fri, Jul 19, 2013, 3:21 PMerror
Refused to display ' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
- Thu, Jul 25, 2013, 12:57 AMHi,
This is probably a Youtube restriction.
You have 2 solutions:
- Replace your URL in the embed field to http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Use the Moodle Media filter to automatically replace the URL by the player. Just put your link in a link tag, Moodle will do the rest
- Sun, Sep 29, 2013, 4:59 PMI love this plug in and have been recommending it to lecturers. Is there a way to add a link from the bottom of one tab to the top of the next? Our students are unused to tabbed displays in the CMS, and we'd liek to spoon-feed them the transition.
- Fri, Nov 29, 2013, 8:15 AMHow I can do to display tabdisplay from an Ipad or Smartphone?
- Thu, Jan 23, 2014, 8:03 PMHi,
This is used extensively across our installation and is a superb plugin. Any plans/eta for a 2.6 version?
- Fri, Feb 7, 2014, 1:56 AMHow do I delete a tab I don't want?
- Fri, Feb 7, 2014, 2:00 AMNevermind. I figured it out! Just delete the contents of the tab you don't want!
- Mon, Feb 10, 2014, 10:47 PMThis seems to work fine when testing in Moodle 2.6 . However we would really appreciate confirmation from the authors on its suitability in 2.6 before we install it on our production Moodle site.
- Wed, Feb 26, 2014, 7:02 AMI use your tab display all the time, but I got tired of seeing the "deprecated error" with debugger running, so I changed three code lines as follows:
In mod/tab/view.php
line 53
//$context = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_MODULE, $cm->id); old line becomes:
$context = context_module::instance($cm->id);
line 54
//$coursecontext = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_COURSE, $course->id); old line becomes:
$context = context_course::instance($course->id);
Then in mod/tab.lib.php
line 186
//$context = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_MODULE, $cmid) -- old line, becomes:
$context = context_module::instance($cmid);
I have two questions about this: 1) Is this alright to do, no problems? And 2) if it is OK, then couldn't it be used in an update release of your TAB module?
Rod Wolford
- Tue, Apr 28, 2015, 10:52 PMhola Alguien ha usado tab display en moodle 2.7 o en moodle 2.8 saludos... a todos.
- Thu, Jun 18, 2015, 11:33 PMAny chance that the tab display will be available for Moodle 2.8?
- Tue, Jun 23, 2015, 8:22 PMSame as for Amy - are there any plans? Thanks for the plugin anyway!
- Wed, Jun 24, 2015, 10:44 PMI as well would like to know if this useful plugin will be updated for Moodle 2.8 and beyond.

The following shows have received ratings of at least four stars from Times readers.BROADWAY OFF BROADWAY
The legend of the wise fool comes to life as never before in this jazzy comic oratorio. Les the Least, as his name would portend, is the least of the lesser angels. He can't seem to do anything properly - not even the simple heavenly task of greasing the Lord's lightning bolts. But when the Lord gets fed up with humanity and turns Earth over to Satan, it's up to Les to save the day (and hopefully not make a total mess of things, as usual)!

Karachi: The shortage of the Natural Gas has crippled the industries as concern ministry is considering to close down the gas supply to CNG stations, captive power plants and industrial sectors.
There is an agreement in place between the government and industrial sector which allows government to hold gas supply to industries for three months in a year.
According to one estimate the CNG shortfall in country is about 800 million cubic feet per day. However, during December, January and February, the country is expected to experience an overall shortfall of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources holds the same old, same old argument of 'increased demand' to justify the shortfall.
The shortage of gas has not only affected the public and private transport sector but also industries of the country. SUI Southern Gas Company – which predicted the shortfall of 400 million cubic feet during the winters – is of the opinion that the new reservoirs of natural gas have been discovered in Sindh. "But unfortunately the extracting companies are showing a lack of drilling."
Industries in the economic hub of Pakistan 'Karachi' are already working to meet fuel requirements through alternatives. According to our correspondent, industries of Korangi Industrial Area have started producing Fuel from mangrove wood.
Moreover, the transport sector is also suffering from existed CNG loadshedding. This situation would likely to be increased in winters. Anticipating the complete close down, the All Pakistan CNG Association has asked ministry of petroleum to ensure the daily supply of the natural gas to the CNG sector.
Early in 2004, the then government promoted the use of CNG and rapidly gave out license to open CNG stations. Whereas the industries and factories also started using natural gas as a fuel. Government statistics show that around 3.5 million private vehicles use natural gas in Pakistan.

Criminal Minds Marathon (drooling over Dr. Reid)
Ion Television has been gifting me with a guilty pleasure lately.
Hours of reruns of Criminal Minds!!!
Matthew Gray Gubler is a total hottie but I think the character he plays is even cuter.
So, to celebrate my fictional relationship with Dr. Reid, I thought I'd recap some great Criminal Minds moments in GIF's.

Grading (education)
|This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (February 2015)
|It has been suggested that Grading on a curve be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2013.
|Academic grading
|North America
|Central America
|South America
Grading in education is the process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of achievement in a course. Another way the grade point average (GPA) can be determined is through extra curricular activities. Grades can be assigned as letters (generally A through F), as a range (for example 1 to 6), as a percentage of a total number of questions answered correctly, or as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100).
In some countries, all grades from all current classes are averaged to create a GPA for the marking period. The GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time of middle school through high school.[1] GPAs are also calculated for undergraduate and graduate students in most universities. The GPA can be used by potential employers or educational institutions to assess and compare applicants. A cumulative grade point average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all of his or her complete education career.[2]
Yale University historian George W. Pierson writes: "According to tradition the first grades issued at Yale (and possibly the first in the country) were given out in the year 1785, when President Ezra Stiles, after examining 58 Seniors, recorded in his diary that there were 'Twenty Optimi, sixteen second Optimi, twelve Inferiores (Boni), ten Pejores.'"[3] Bob Marlin argues that the concept of grading students' work quantitatively was developed by a tutor named William Farish and first implemented by the University of Cambridge in 1792.[4] Hoskin's assertion has been questioned by Christopher Stray, who finds the evidence for Farish as the inventor of the numerical mark to be unpersuasive.[5] Stray's article elucidates the complex relationship between the mode of examination (testing), in this case oral or written, and the varying philosophies of education these modes imply, both to teacher and student. As a technology, grading both shapes and reflects many fundamental areas of educational theory and practice.
International grading systems[edit]
Most nations have individual grading systems unique to their own schools. However, several international standards for grading have arisen recently.
In the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam taken by secondary school students, grades generally range from A* (highest) to F. However, in some GCSE qualifications, there are two tiers (higher and foundation). In the higher tier, grades A* to D can be achieved, while in the foundation tier, only grades C to G can be awarded.[6] Generally a C or above would be considered a pass and a D or below would be considered a fail.
Grading systems by country[edit]
GPA in the US job market[edit]
According to a study published in 2014, a one-point increase in high-school GPA translated to an 11.85% increase in annual earnings for men and 13.77% for women in the United States.[7] However, the higher percentage increase was not found to be enough for women to catch up to men: women with a 4.0 high-school GPA still made less, on average, than men with a 2.5 GPA.[7]
College and post-college students often wonder how much weight their GPA carries in future employment. The employer, company and industry plays the largest factor in answering this question. According to Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., senior vice president of human resources for IAC/InterActive Corp, a company with over 33,000 employees, an applicant's GPA is the single best indicator of future success in job employment.[8] According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, since 2001 there has been an increase in employers looking at, and making hiring decisions based on, a candidate's GPA.[9] In addition, Job Outlook 2005 survey reported that 70 percent of employers looked at an applicants GPA,[10] increasing to 75 percent in 2010.[9] Those looking at and weighing in college GPA reported that their cut-off was a GPA of 3.0 or lower.[10]
GPA is not the only factor that determines future employment. Many employers look for other pertinent characteristics such as leadership, teamwork, flexibility and attitude. They may also look at the reputation of the college attended and other work related experiences such as internships.[10] In a 2010 student survey for recruiters, 45% of the students who had completed an internship had already received a job offer.[11] Many of these jobs were within the company that they interned for.
Although GPA seems to be important in the hiring process, other variables may contribute to the likelihood of getting hired. If a student's GPA is below a 3.0 or what the employer is looking for, it is suggested to calculate your GPA for only the classes within your major for your resume.[10]
There is also criticism about using grades as an indicator in employment. Armstrong (2012) claimed that the relationship between grades and job performance is low and it's becoming lower in recent studies.[12]

Imagine a place where pint-size scientists can become veterinarians, test the laws of physics in a field house, learn about mixtures and solutions in the kitchen of their very own diner, or just splash, crawl and play. That place is Kids Town, a gallery for children ages 5 and under.
Kids Town features engaging activity areas in a child-scaled "town" where little ones can develop their social and motor skills while exploring the basic science concepts we encounter every day.

Bernstein/Getty Images)Dwight Howard, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, dodged questions about his future with the Lakers after getting ejected from a season-ending loss to the Spurs on Sunday."I'm going to step away from everything for a couple weeks and clear my head before I do or talk about anything, as far as next season," Howard told reporters following the Lakers' 103-82 loss to the Spurs at the Staples Center. "I think I deserve that. That's what I'm going to do."San Antonio swept L.A. in four games straight, ending a Lakers campaign that began with high hopes but ended with a 45-37 record, the Western Conference's No. 7 seed and the franchise's first first-round playoff exit since 2007. Howard departed Game 4 with seven points (on two-for-two shooting) and eight rebounds in 21 minutes.Acquired by the Lakers from the Magic in a blockbuster trade last summer, Howard can re-sign with the franchise for up to five years. He could also leave the Lakers and sign a contract for up to four years with another team."I don't want to talk about anything that's for the upcoming season, next year," Howard said. "I just want to reflect on this year and try to get myself better, come back 100 percent." Howard underwent back surgery in 2012 and dealt with a shoulder injury during the season. Despite the injuries, he averaged 17.1 points, a league-leading 12.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks while being selected to his seventh All-Star Game. Promoted Stories Comments

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Markel Brown has gone from raw athlete to skilled marvel. Michael Cobbins has gone from project to poor-man's Ivan McFarlin. Le'Bryan Nash has gone from jacking up long shots to attacking the basket.
Oklahoma State basketball: Player development is an important component of OSU's success
Freshman Marcus Smart is a primary reason for the OSU basketball revival, which has the Cowboys in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010.
But there's another reason the Cowboys are here, playing Oregon at 3:40 p.m. (Oklahoma time) Thursday in the Midwest Regional.
Player development. Cowboy veterans have gotten better. Noticeably better. Remarkably better.
Maybe Travis Ford doesn't outfox opponents with spiffy strategy. But the OSU coach has aced his two most important duties. Recruit elite talent, and mine that talent after it reaches campus.
"In our program, that's what we talk about the most," Ford said. "We take the most pride in developing players."
Brown has become an all-Big 12 caliber player, possible first-round NBA draft pick and OSU's leading scorer, at 15.3 points a game. Two years ago, who saw that coming?
Cobbins has become an efficient offensive player, in addition to his rebounding and shot-blocking prowess. Make another leap next season, and he will be the equal of McFarlin, Eddie Sutton's sturdy, four-year power forward.
And Nash, while still occasionally frustrating, has learned that his value is in the paint, where he can score much easier than from beyond the 3-point line.
"My coaches, building me up, telling me what I can do on and off the court," Cobbins said of the secret of his success. "Where I can get on the court to score. Put me in position to make plays."
Smart clearly triggered OSU's breakout season. But the maturation of the holdovers gave Smart a band to lead that was capable of success.
"When we talk recruiting to players, we tell them that is the backbone of our program," Ford said. "We want to develop players. When you leave Oklahoma State, we want you to maximize your ability.
"Basketball is the ultimate team sport, but our team can't become great if every individual player doesn't reach his potential."
This is not new to Ford. James Anderson and Obi Muonelo played their final two OSU seasons under Ford and became much better players, notably with their passing. Marshall Moses seemed to improve by the month while playing for Ford.
Make no mistake. The most important figure in player development is the player himself. If a player isn't committed, improvement is unlikely.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Working to figure out how to divide about $9 billion in annual revenues, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, union executive director DeMaurice Smith and their negotiating teams were at a federal mediator's office Tuesday for a 13th day of labor talks.
New York Giants owner John Mara and Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen were also in attendance.
Top NFLPA outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler did not arrive at the mediator's office when others did Tuesday morning. He also wasn't present Monday, when talks resumed after a break over the weekend.
The current agreement was set to expire last week, but extensions have pushed the cutoff to Friday.
What will happen the rest of this week is still anyone's guess. If a deal isn't reached, the sides could agree to yet another extension and negotiate beyond Friday. Or talks could break off, leading to, possibly, a lockout by owners or antitrust lawsuits by players.
The NFL has not lost games to a work stoppage in nearly a quarter-century. By agreeing to continue with mediation, the league and union made it clear neither was quite ready to make the drastic move of shutting down a sport that is more popular than ever. The past two Super Bowls rank No. 1 and No. 2 among most-watched TV programs in U.S. history.

Hostages Killed at Jewish Center in Mumbai
Posted By admin On November 28, 2008 @ 12:14 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
November 28, 2008
Commandos who stormed the Mumbai headquarters of an ultra-orthodox Jewish group found the bodies of five hostages inside, among them a New York rabbi and his wife, as a fresh battle raged at the luxury Taj Mahal hotel and other Indian forces ended a siege at another five-star hotel.
More than 150 people have been killed since gunmen attacked 10 sites across India's financial capital starting Wednesday night, including 24 foreigners, officials said.
Early Friday night, Indian commandos emerged from a besieged Jewish center with rifles raised in an apparent sign of victory after a daylong siege that saw a team rappel from helicopters and a series of explosions and fire rock the building and blow gaping holes in the wall.
Inside the Chabad-Lubavitch office, though, were five dead hostages.
The Chabad-Lubavitch movement confirmed the deaths of Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka. They ran the movement's local headquarters. The couple's toddler was taken out of the center by his nanny.

Absolutely fantastic. Last night was my first experience making an oyster stuffing and I will definitely add this to my regular holiday rotation. I cheaped out and used Bumble Bee canned oysters and it was still fabulous.flag if inappropriate
I've made this stuffing ALMOST every single year since it was first published in 92. It is sublime. The only years I didn't make it were when I was traveling and didn't have access to oysters - those were the years my family and friends complained MIGHTILY: they all wanted this recipe back in the menu!flag if inappropriate
Very good-although in the future I would cut the bread smaller-it seemed like too much bread and not enough of the other stuff. I think I would also double the oysters-I will certainly try again!flag if inappropriate
it's a lot of work - but it's worth it! Will make it again for any excuse!flag if inappropriate
Wonderful! Make it for yourself - don't wait to have company!flag if inappropriate
I made this for Thanksgiving and it came out very good. I was a little confused as to what type of bread to use (loaf or rolls)or what type of oysters to use(fresh or canned. I ended up buying a large loaf that weighed about 1 lb and buying 3 jared fresh oysters. Everyone raved about it so this will be a dish that I make every year now. :)flag if inappropriate
This too has become my standard dressing for Thanksgiving with turkey. As a Southerner I substituted homemade cornbread for the French bread and as a shellfish lover doubled the number of oysters.flag if inappropriate
Oyster dressing has always been a tradition in my family - passed down through generations - however, the old version is soggy, doughy, and full of whole oysters. This recipe dresses up the dish - makes it more interesting - and incorporates bacon which adds a smokiness that marries well with the oysters. This is our new tradition.flag if inappropriate
This has become part of our family's Thanksgiving tradition. Even the non-oyster lovers love it and the grandkids think it's "our stuffing." Make extra because it's better the next day.flag if inappropriate
This is hands down the best stuffing recipe out there. It was quickly integrated into our holiday traditions and I'm often asked to make it at other times as well. I always make a double batch for leftovers and I actually think it tastes better a day or two later.flag if inappropriate

The Muse has been fiddling about with Tarte ReCreate Foundation for a few months now. It's chock full of interesting features one of which is very important, anti-aging. Can't say there are a slew of anti-aging foundations on the market that I know of. The novelty of a foundation that would aid me in keeping my skin youthful and fresh sounded incredible.
Jump ahead for the deets and review.
Like many foundation, Tarte ReCreate Foundation has plenty of good points and a few bad.
It's paraben-free, natural formula is a very good point particularly if you're super conscious of what goes into your makeup. The fact that it contains an SPF 15 is another good point but I do think that's a tad low in the sun protection department. And most important of all it's interesting "wrinkle rewind" technology which holds a claim of being clinically proven to decrease fine lines and wrinkles while increasing moisture, toning, and firming the skin.
All this is very appealing however I may not be getting the full benefit of it as I don't have fine lines or wrinkles on my face as of yet so I can't speak for whether it's improving any of that. I also can't say if it's working at keeping my skin youthful as a few short months of use would never be enough time to judge that however that doesn't stop me from loving the idea that it could very well be protecting my skin and preventing wrinkles.
The formula is creamy, moisturizing and blends flawlessly onto my skin. It's a tad on the runny side but not in a bad way as that allows it to easily absorb into my dry skin. It's not incredibly pigmented but it's rich enough to allow light to medium coverage but if you have major skin care woes you're wanting to cover it probably won't completely help that case (even though it says full coverage I felt it wasn't pigmented enough for total coverage). I've heard it tends to sink and settle into pores but I don't have large pores so it sits comfortable on my skin and almost feels like a glove…it's not a silicon feel but it feels interesting during first application.
I'm also a big lover of the packaging. It comes in a pump style tube that dispenses just the right amount of product. Fantastically clean, mess-free distribution makes it a winner in the packaging department!
Now my main problem with it…
The shades.
All the colors have an incredible amount of unflattering beige to them. Even the very lightest ivory looks like a muddy beige shade. This in itself was a deal breaker for me as it made me look terribly old and uneven. The shade was just wrong. I did do a ton of swatches of other shades and all of them were just sadly wrong for my tone. MAC seems to have a similar problem when it comes to foundation as many of their shades have incredible amounts of either orange or beige and of course drugstore brands as well.
Overall, if the interesting concept of an anti-aging foundation appeals to me in a major way and I like the formula of the foundation as well as it's light and feels nice on my face. However, the shade selection does need considerably improvement and I can't say I'd indulge again once I'm done with this one.
Anyone try Tarte ReCreate?
Love it?
Not so much?
Tell the Muse!
11/9/09 14:39 Andrea:
I LOVE this stuff. I got it in that awesome gift set Sephora has for $54. I have been using Estee Lauder Double Wear for years (and will never stop unless someone convinces me that it isn't the HG of all medium to heavy coverage foundations). This stuff, however, is less coverage. It's more oily, although I hate to use that word. Maybe it's just runnier. I agree with you on the color. I mix it with a little tinted moisturizer or some of my EL foundation, and it works perfectly for weekends or days when I want a more natural look.
I would buy this again (probably another of the same kits from Sephora b/c that gives me the concealer, which is good to carry in your purse, the powder, which sucks, the bronzer, which I love, and the full-sized primer, which I also really like. It's worth it just for the primer and the foundation.
4/7/10 14:07 Mina:
I agree – good features, but the lightest color – porcelain – is too dark for my skin tone & far too orangey…
1/12/12 18:50 queen:
porcelain isn't the lightest – try Ivory (02)

It never fails to amaze me the ignorance of certain professionals who have no problems putting other people's lives in jeapardy. An idiot doctor in Long Island took it upon himself to put his patients lives at risk by re-using needles, thus exposing them to all types of horrible diseases.
He needs to be prosecuted for attempted murder and he needs to lose his license for mal practice:
Dozens of patients of a doctor on Long Island are being urged to get tested for HIV and hepatitis after the health department says he reused syringes.
The patients were given flu shots at the Dr. E. Jacob Simhaee's office in Manhasset.
Long Island reporter Emily Smith has the story.
The Nassau County health department says 36 patients who received flu shots from Dr. Simhaee have already been told to get tested.
This time, health department officials notified the public right away, instead of waiting three years like in a similar case this fall.
"I wouldn't go to him," area resident Pina Vaccaro said. "Of course, I wouldn't."
That's how it seems everyone is reacting to a second outrageous scenario in Nassau County of a licensed doctor reusing syringes.
No one answered the door today at the office of Dr. Simhaee, a Manhasset OBGYN now deemed by the state and county to have put 36 of his patients coming in for flu shots at risk for HIV and hepatitis.
"Clearly was an oversight on his part," said Dr. Abbey Greenberg, acting commissioner of the Nassau County Department of Health.
It is a significant oversight, considering once a needle is pulled out of the arm, a vacuum is created that leaves a little backflow of blood in the syringe. At that point, the next patient is exposed to blood-borne diseases.

2015 Ford Expedition Spied in Michigan
Excited to see the new LED lights on these two cars.
It would be nice if they addes the turbo engine from the veloster to the elantra, especially the coupe
@Chente_04 They are.
You don't really need to guess what the refreshed Sportage and Elantra will look like as both have already been released in S. Korea.
Looks like you will still wack your head getting into the 1st or 2nd row of the Sportage.
Hyundai/KIA have some of the most quality built vehicles in their classes right now--not the top of the class, but near it. I personally have been extremely impressed with their quality in the past few years. My family owned a 2001 Tiburon and a 2003 Elantra and I didn't think much of them then, but now they have come so far that I actually bought a 2013 Elantra for my wife. I can see small areas where it isn't perfect in the car, but overall I can also see how much quality is most of the materials, too. I'm excited to see where the refresh comes on both vehicles.
The Elantra and Sportage still sit as very competitive in the value market but with value comes quality and unfortunately from tests run with both vehicles it does not sound like they're up to snuff yet. I owned a KIA back when they had the squishy suspension and do not miss it, but now driving an FR-S I wonder what a happy middle ground feels like.
You own and FR-S - I'm jealous. I have a family and need a vehicle with a back seat but like the FR-S quite a bit. With a stick-shift it is a wonderful sports car.
@RWS928s Hold off for the next Gen WRX... That should be a great sports car... And it holds 4 and has a stick shift.

I've been riding for almost fourteen years so I have all the knowledge under my belt and i'm a pretty decent rider
In the past few years i've had really bad experiences on different horses and have lost all my confidence (I get so nervous that when I get off the horse a collapse on the ground because im shaking to much) I am slowly building up my confidence with a new horse at the moment but she still does things that through me out and I always end up back at square one.
We aren't very compatible so she is going to be my sisters horse and i'll be getting a new one
I posted in this forum because we are looking at breeds and personality
We definitely do not want a thoroughbred as all my bad experiences have been on them but we want a big horse (16hh +) would anyone be able to help me?
I still want to ride and really don't want to give up
Thank you for posting if you do you'll be helping a lot
