Wow! Our Star Charities All Volunteers In Action Beef and Beer event was an overwhelming success.

JENNIFER HARDGROVE | Getting Up to Speed on PWCs
By Jennifer Hardgrove
If terms like musclecraft, wakeboarding, sponsons, hitting the glass, V strakes, chines and HydroDrags are in your vernacular, chances are you are a personal watercraft (PWC) enthusiast or interested in becoming one.
If the latter is true, this language is for you to get your feet wet and research purchasing your own ski, multi-passenger runabout, or motorized recreational water vehicle.
New personal watercraft fuel injected machines have four-stroke technology as opposed to older two-stroke models. The four-stroke PWC are quieter and emit less fuel thereby providing a more enjoyable experience on the waves. A typical runabout can run all day on one tank, using 15–21 gallons of fuel. The one seater model or standup, otherwise known as a "ski" is named after the original jet-ski, and made by Kawasaki while the 2–4 passenger runabout sometimes gets generically categorized as a Sea-Doo.
There are other manufacturers with some sweet rides, including, Yamaha and Honda. The typical pwc has a 110 horse power engine and travels 45 – 70 miles per hour, but an average driver travels about 50 mph on the water, if not racing. Accessories needed with a pwc are a trailer, dolly, fire extinguisher, anchor, wet suit, personal floatation device(s) and emergency equipment. With a 2-4 passenger PWC, towing skiers, innertubes and wakeboarding are possible. When towing a rider on a PWC, the traveling speed depends on the rider's preference and skill and usually runs around 18–24 mph.
Follow state regulations for boating safety. In Washington state, legislation is in place that requires boat operators (including PWC riders) to take a boater safety education course to receive a boater education card. To learn more visit, parks.wa.gov/boating.asp for approved boater education classes online, in classrooms or at home. Class completion and passing a test are mandatory.
Check out these Web sites or individual manufacturers to learn more about products, reviews, gear and features: Personalwatercraft.com, Watercraftworld.com or locally cliffscyclecenter.com for new and used PWCs. Final word: Personalize your PWC with accessories for a custom fit.

Consider the hot dog. While most of us are weaned on the iconic Vienna Beef here, very few (if any) chefs would dare attempt to make their own. But Jared Van Camp decided he would not only take a stab at it, he would do so in a research-and-development mode only a cooking drone for "America's Test Kitchen" could appreciate. Van Camp has been working with ratios of fat to beef, emulsifying times and smoking technique, to produce his own batch of homemade hot dogs at Old Town Social, which he not only dresses up "Chicago style" (mustard, neon green relish, onions, tomatoes, sport peppers, celery salt and a pickle), but also in a chili dog with mustard and even a corn dog. With baseball season officially here, it's a great time to take one of America's favorite snacks, and turn it up-market with a bit of culinary ingenuity. If you're interested in how he produced his own hot dog, check out this blog post from last year, in which he goes into great detail.

Take a trip down the rabbit hole to the Meinl Coffeehouse and enjoy an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party worthy of the Queen of Hearts. Or use that twitter account to secure your spot at Glimpse - a collaborative pop-up restaurant led by a culinary crew including Gaztro-Wagon's Matt Maroni, Hum Spirits and Fritz Pastry – where only those who hurry up and become followers will reserve a table. So let your guard down, no need to be on the lookout for mischief and shenanigans today - a hidden whoopee cushion on your chair? Now that's a different story.

Takashi assembles local chefs for Japan fundraiserApr. 1, 2011
Proving there is no lack of compassion among the Chicago food community, Takashi Yagihashi will host some of Chicago's most talented chefs in his namesake restaurant on Monday, April 18, as a superstar culinary lineup comes together to raise funds for those devastated by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
"I am very thankful to all of you for joining me in this effort to help Japan during this difficult time," said Yagihashi in a personal plea of help for his native country posted on his restaurant's website. "The events of March 11 have taken an enormous toll on its people - physically, emotionally and financially. "The resources needed to help survivors, let alone rebuild, are unimaginable."
In the rare case where too many cooks in the kitchen is a good thing, all-star chefs from across Chicagoland will join forces to prepare a six-course meal where all of the proceeds will benefit the Japanese Red Cross.
Top 5 Chicago bars serving above-average foodMar. 31, 2011
Grabbing a beer and a shot in Chicago is easy. But it seems like every other neighborhood bar has the same menu these days: (fill in the blank) sliders, "flatbreads" (a.k.a. weak pizza) and that ubiquitous duo - beets with goat cheese and/or some form of pork belly.
But there are bars in Chicago where the kitchen takes its side of the bargain more seriously; where chefs have either consulted on the menus or are executing the dishes themselves. These five all take creative approaches to bar food, and offer delicious companions to the craft beers that often steal the show. I've added one dish (parenthetically), that I think is a worthwhile investment.

Why Anheuser-Busch bought Goose Island beerMar. 29, 2011
Some fans of craft beers are foaming over the news that industry giant Anheuser-Busch plans to buy 23 year-old Chicago-based, brewing powerhouse Goose Island Beer Co. The $38.8 million deal was announced Monday, but is set to close in June.
On the surface, the two brewers couldn't be more different: One is known for mass-marketed and mass appeal brands like Budweiser and Busch; the other is known for microbrews and specialty ales like 312 and Matilda.
So why would Anheuser-Busch gobble up Goose Island? Two words: craft brews.
"These critically acclaimed beers are the hometown pride of Chicagoans," said Dave Peacock, president of the St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch in a statement. "We are very committed to expanding in the high-end beer segment, and this deal expands our portfolio of brands with high-quality, regional beers. "As we share ideas and bring our different strengths and experiences together, we can accelerate the growth of these brands."

Dolinsky's SYSE: Tuna tartar from BistronomicMar. 29, 2011
Martial Noguier never quite settled into his previous assignments. At one sixtyblue, his cooking would veer into French territory, but the fact diners were there for Michael Jordan's connection as much as anything, probably limited his creativity. At Café des Architectes, inside the Hotel Sofitel, he explored his roots a bit more, but still, he was a hotel chef, succumbing to the whims of business travelers and chopped salad lunch-goers looking to get in and out in about an hour.
At Bistronomic - a stone's throw south of the Sofitel - Noguier seems more at home than he ever has been. There are terrines and patés, of course, but also Lake Superior whitefish over French lentils and a seriously good tartar, made with tuna, rather than the more traditional (and fashionable) beef. Arriving in a glass jar, topped with lemony-scented avocado, it's a fabulous way to wake up your mouth as you get ready for the really serious stuff.

U.S. Threatens to Take Complaint against Telmex to World Trade Organization
The dispute between Mexico and the US regarding access to the telecommunications market has escalated further. In early April, the US Trade Representative's Office (USTR) accused the Mexican government of failing to take sufficient steps to curb the monopoly powers of Telefonos de Mexico (TELMEX), which has created unfair conditions for the Mexican subsidiaries of AT&T and MCI Worldcom.
The USTR complaint against Mexico, the latest episode in the ongoing conflict about TELMEX's status, was included in its annual review of major trading partners and their compliance with the Word Trade Organization's (WTO) agreements on telecommunications. The report also found unfair practices in South Africa and Japan.
"In Mexico, it appears that progress toward a level playing field for telecommunications carriers now is stalled," said US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky.
In the last several years, the US and Mexico have been embroiled in heated disputes about the near-monopoly status of TELMEX, which was privatized in the early 1990s (see SourceMex, 1990-11-21). Competitors Alestra and Avantel have frequently accused TELMEX of erecting barriers to fair competition, such as charging interconnection fees two to three times higher than international norms (see SourceMex, 1996-04-17, 1997-11-05, 1998-03-04, 1998-11-11). Alestra is a partnership among AT&T, Grupo Bancomer, and Grupo Alfa, while Avantel is a joint venture formed by MCI WorldCom and Grupo Banamex-Accival.
AT&T and MCI have also been instrumental in delaying TELMEX's entry into the US market. For several months, the two companies successfully argued that TELMEX should not receive an operating permit until it eliminated barriers to competitors in Mexico. But after a lengthy investigation, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1998 awarded TELMEX a permit to provide services in the US (see SourceMex, 1998-08-12).
TELMEX says high interconnection fees are justified
TELMEX, which still controls the majority of Mexico's telecommunications infrastructure, including telephone lines, argues that the company has lost 30% of its share of the long- distance market since 1997, which is evidence that competition is working fairly well.
A recent study published by the daily newspaper El Universal backs TELMEX's argument. The study says 87% of the long-distance users in 150 cities in Mexico now have a choice of long-distance providers. The competition among TELMEX, Avantel, Alestra, and other companies has reduced long- distance charges by as much as 50%, the study said.
Meanwhile, TELMEX continues to defend its high interconnection fees on the grounds that the company needs to recover costs of extending service to remote areas and purchase equipment.
The Secretaria de Comercio y Fomento Industrial (SECOFI) has jumped to TELMEX's defense against the USTR complaint, saying that the company has not violated any WTO telecommunications norms. But Luis de la Calle, SECOFI's deputy secretary for trade communications, said the Mexican government would prefer that the case not be presented to a WTO dispute-resolutions panel. "Before a panel is established, we would like to consult with US authorities," said de la Calle.
TELMEX has presented a more defiant stance. Claudio X. Gonzalez, a member of the company's board of directors, said TELMEX would fight any WTO action with countersuits. "Some of the competitors thought they were going to have it easier," said Gonzalez. "Now they are trying to change certain things."
TELMEX president Carlos Slim Helu criticized the US government for interfering in Mexican affairs. …

1999 Honda Accord • 185,200 miles
I don't really have a lot to say in this block, but it says I need to have 200 charactors so i'm trying to make this long. I have to change the fuse to the AC monthly, it keeps blowing. I googled this problem and it said: you need to buy a volts meter and test the voltage to determine where the short is. There are a lot of wires and looking at all of them would take forever. Most of the time it's a loose or cooked wire touching the frame causing it to ground out and DO NOT DO A HIGHER AMP FUSE this could cause a fire or burn into other wires causing more shorts. Thank you for any guidance you can offer

If it does not blow immediately, the chances are that it is not due to a direct shorting. A component such ads the blower fan motor could be failing causing the problem. It could also be due to a bare wire that is intermittently shorting.

I had a small office in a building overlooking a parking area where students congregated on pleasant days. The windows caught the morning sun. I arrived at the office at 7 every morning to work on my own book, an allegorical novel about how society treats its defectives. It had a love affair, a world-weary detective, a bomber on the loose—it seemed to be going everyplace and no place.
When my work faltered, I stared at the students hanging out in the parking area. Their signing was beautiful: With their hands and arms and bodies, they carved up and fluffed out the space in front of them. They made that space breathe and filled it with energy and moved that energy around, flattening it, kneading it, passing it back and forth. They flirted, they boasted, they teased. Watching them, I thought again about what it meant to be deaf.
Deaf people are doctors, lawyers, professional baseball players, Academy Award winners. Reed Doughty, a severely hard-of-hearing man, plays free safety for the Redskins. Vint Cerf, a deaf computer genius living in Northern Virginia, is the father of the Internet.
And yet: The world hears and expects you to hear, as so many important things are happening and the TV's playing in the background, the iPod's blaring that new song, cars are honking, dogs are barking. At some point, if you're deaf, every accomplishment fades away and you're sitting in the corner, lost.
What I saw was that inside the gates of Gallaudet, everyone's been in that corner. Some have raged against it, some have ignored it, some have found spiritual riches in the surrender to limitation, some have felt cheated by it. And from that shared disconnect there has stemmed a connection that is the essence of Gallaudet. It's a gorgeous thing—many people with no hearing loss at all come to Gallaudet to be a part of it.
Eye contact is essential in sign language; every interaction is predicated on it, whether you're walking down the street, eating a bagel, making love, making a point in class. Ask yourself: When was the last time you opened your eyes and really took someone in? Held her in your attention as if she were the most important thing in the universe? This is communication as an act of love.
I had no idea I would find it at Gallaudet. When I taught the class on minority cultures the first semester, I was ignorant of it. It didn't change the fact that the university would need to evolve radically to survive the changes brought on by implants. But it changed the stakes. Whereas before I saw the university's possible closing as a natural progression and no great loss for the larger world, now I wasn't so sure.
My novel waited. More and more, I watched the students out the window.
In January of this year, a new university president, Alan Hurwitz, took office. He'd been president of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in Rochester, New York. He brought experience and can-do spirit and started some long-overdue reviews and changes.
But a few months earlier, Congress had frozen the university's budget. (Gallaudet is 70 percent federally funded.) Discussions of implants and identity were muted as talk of layoffs spread.
Then came a month of snow, and then it was spring and the neighborhood around Gallaudet was changing. A couple of blocks away on H Street, Northeast, a new nightlife oasis sparkled out of the blight. Transformation was everywhere.
I got an e-mail from a friend writing a book about the next generation of implantable technology. Soon, he's certain, we'll implant memory chips in our brains instead of delegating them to our phones.
But you wonder: The human need to feel worthwhile and loved and connected, to have a few moments of peace before the next e-mail announcing that a bill is due—how is this accounted for in our society's constant noise? Wouldn't the communal connection of Gallaudet be worth looking at?
Seth came to my office on a warm day in early May to have me sign off on his completed project. Parts of it had already won awards. The full story collection sat on my desk. "Thats Probably Why God Rested" was the title, the idea being that God on his throne is saying: Hey, four senses is enough—let's chill.
That's a good title, I told Seth. He beamed.
A couple of weeks later, I got an e-mail saying my contract would not be renewed. It wasn't that the university was going in a new direction; it had just run out of money. And like that, my Gallaudet experience was over, or at least indefinitely paused. (Two months later, I was rehired in a different position.)
All our wondering and debating, all our writing and arguing about writing, forgetting that the fate of universities and careers and empires almost always comes down to the same thing. Money.
I stared at the e-mail for a while and then opened another browser and booked a plane ticket to Peru. I pulled my novel out of a drawer.
But a few weeks earlier, I had picked up Seth's book and skimmed the pages. "As she rested on my chest," I read at the start of the last story, "I stared into the afternoon sky and began walking out of my eyes. . . ."
A lovely line. Unbound from his body, the protagonist traveled out a motel window, down a littered avenue, back into memory, and then, alas, got stuck in love-is-hard and no-one-knows-the-trouble-I-seen. Still, progress.
"There's tremendous beauty here," I said to Seth. "But a lot of work left to do."
"There is," he agreed.

Huge asteroid likely to hit Earth in 2040
A large asteroid is expected to hit the Earth in about 30 years time, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has reported.
NASA has identified the asteroid, which is 140 meters in diameter as a threat to the Earth and has predicted that it may hit on Feb. 5, 2040, the Daily Mail has reported.
NASA has warned that it might kill millions of citizens if it falls on a large city.
But it is probable that the asteroid could be spotted from a ground observatory between 2013 and 2016, giving scientists enough time to prepare for any collision or near miss.

I was there when this feature was born. It's a long story but basically the idea is that you should be able to have a WCF service (or Workflow Service for that matter) without a SVC file.
Simply put, an SVC file is configuration that lives in a file that gives IIS something to serve (after all it is a web server).
The .svc extension is handled by WCF so when a request comes into IIS with a URI that ends with .svc, WCF gets to handle it. You can find the details in your machine level web.config (just search for .svc).Here is an example of the markup you will find in an SVC file. To see this, just right click on a SVC file in Visual Studio and select View Markup
<@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="WebApplication1.Service1" CodeBehind="Service1.svc.cs" %>
As you can see, this configuration gives WCF the information it needs to build (if necessary) and host your service. Yes you can actually put code in an SVC file but I don't recommend it. Usually all the code is in the code behind file.
Most people don't mind .svc files. After all they are small 1 line text files. But if you have thousands of services and hundreds of web servers there is a certain amount of overhead involved in managing all these 1 line text files. The good news is that now with .NET 4 you can eliminate them if you want to.
Configuration Based Activation is the name of the feature that allows you to eliminate the .svc file. I'm going to walk you through step by step how you can eliminate an .svc file.
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" >
<add service="WebApplication1.Service1" relativeAddress ="Service1.svc"/>
Oh Yeah!!! Straight from Visual Studio 2010 Training Kit. Thanks.
@Magesh - this is in the VS2010 Training Kit? I know it's not in the What's new in WCF labs because I wrote that one. At any rate, the kit is super valuable

An interview with CEO Bob Beauchamp
These tips can help you save money
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
On Mar 1, Zacks Investment Research downgraded
3D Systems Corp.
) to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) from a Zacks Rank #3
Why the Downgrade?
Earnings estimates for 3D Systems have declined, owing to
disappointing fourth-quarter 2013 results. The company has
delivered negative earnings surprises in 3 out of 4 quarters,
with an average miss of 12.78%. Additionally, the company's stock
price has fallen more than 20% since Jan 2014.
On Feb 28, 2014, 3D Systems reported fourth-quarter and full
year 2013 results. For the quarter, non-GAAP earnings came in at
16 cents per share, which was 27.3% below the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of 22 cents.
The gross margin was flat year over year at 51.7% as higher
sales were more than offset by unfavorable mix and
extraordinarily high concentration of new product announcements.
The operating margin also contracted approximately 620 basis
points to 11.6% versus 17.9% in the prior-year quarter. During
the quarter, the company witnessed a rise in research and
development (R&D) expenditures as well as sales and marketing
The 3D printing industry is highly dependent on patented
technologies, which play an important role in determining a
company's performance. 3D Systems is likely to face stiff
competition in the future as some of its primary patents are
about to expire in 2014.
Following the earnings release, the Zacks Consensus Estimate
for 2014 declined 15.6% to 81 cents per share in the last 7 days.
For 2015, the Estimate fell 18.3% over the same time period and
is currently pegged at $1.25 per share.
Notably, 3D printing is a relatively new concept and is likely
to take time to gain popularity. Most of the stocks in the
industry are on the downhill so far in 2014. Share prices of
Stratasys Ltd.
) and
ExOne Co.
) are down 7.5% and 27.9% respectively while that of
Voxeljet AG
), a recently-listed 3D printing company, is down 16.02%

|A PCA based method for image and video pose sequencing
|Massaro, James
|Problems exist in image sequence processing that require an ordered set of object views. In some cases, multiple angled images are acquired in random order and the angle of view information is not available. When this occurs, the poses have to be put into proper order. For example, in databases containing images of an object or scene taken over a period of time, each image pose or angled-view with respect to the camera or scene is unknown. This is important to achieve a complete or partial three-dimensional reconstruction. Other applications exist in photogrammetry, machine vision, computer-aided design, and military intelligence. The main contribution of this thesis is an automated method for ordering images of random object views. This method uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a confidence metric in eigenspace. The confidence measure is based on local curvature and correlation of the estimated pose trajectory in a multidimensional manifold. The use of the confidence metric is for detecting areas in the manifold where poses appear similar and ordering becomes difficult. It has been extended for use with synchronized double and multiple camera system by providing a basis for camera selection, choosing the most salient camera view for pose ordering. By adding multiple cameras, a high pose estimation accuracy can be achieved. This thesis compares other classification and recognition methods such as the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Laplacian Eigenmaps. The SIFT algorithm struggles with pose sequencing because it computes local feature spaces for each image and does not consider the entire set of images. Laplacian eigenmaps show better results for ordering, but close analysis show it is better suited for clustering poses than sequencing. Results for ordering many set of objects, theoretical development, and comparison of methods is presented in this research.

Pierce provides steady presence in win
It can be easy to forget about Old Reliable. But tonight, Paul Pierce was there when the Celtics needed him most.
Pierce led the Celtics with 27 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds in a 113-110 win against Philadelphia. He was so effective that Celtics coach Doc Rivers felt the need to keep him on the floor for every second of the second half.
"Paul, to me, was the savior of the game," said Rivers. "I played him way too many minutes (42), but you do that every once in a while...the best play he made was the charge."
The charge Rivers was referring to was the one Pierce took on Andre Iguodala with 34.3 seconds left and the Celtics up 107-105. A score on that play would have done more than tie the game: It would have shifted the momentum, possibly irreversibly, to the Sixers.
"That's what we talk about," said Pierce. "If the charge is there...that's pretty much the only thing I could have done was take the charge. Iguodala's coming at you full speed. He's so athletic when he gets in the air. I'm not going to block his shot, so I just tried to stand in there and take the charge."
Rivers said he didn't plan to play Pierce for the entire second half, but he praised the poise of his captain.
"He's been MVP to me," said Rivers. "Not even just with his play. He got on our guys during the second quarter and at halftime about our play, about the defensive urgency. He told them to stop making excuses. He's the one that's not."
Said Kevin Garnett, "Tonight was all about Paul Pierce's will on the game."

How fitness apps and are helping me to lead a healthier life.
Due to a hectic and stressful travel schedule over the last few months, I had stopped working out. Missing the gym coupled with poor eating habits and stress was contributing to my expanding waistline. Two months into the New Year, I still had my New Year resolution of losing the extra pounds but I did not know where to start. As I started looking for a solution to my quandary, I discovered some startling facts about the impact of lack of exercise, stress, and unhealthy diet on people around the world. According to the World Health Organization by 2015, approximately 2 billion to 3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese across the world . Studies estimate the total cost of obesity to U.S. employers - including lost productivity - at $73 billion a year, NPR reported.
Afraid of becoming a statistic, I decided to look for ways using technology to get my regimen back on track (techno+health). I identified the key barriers holding me back (inertia, boredom, and jet lag) and then looked for ways in which technology could help me overcome these barriers. Summarized below are my early attempts to overcome these barriers:
1. Overcoming inertia: Losing weight/body fat is a simple equation - burn more calories than you eat. However, our brains are hardwired for short-term gains so whenever we start a diet on exercise programs it seems to be attractive at first but gets routine and we give up. Moreover, it takes time for exercise and diet regimes effects to kick in and without feedback it is very hard for a lot of people to continue. This is where technology comes to the rescue. Simple accelerometer based devices such as "Fitbit" that can be worn like a pedometer continually provide feedback about calories burnt, floors climber, etc., via an iPhone and web-based dashboard (see right), thus making it easier to see the results of my hard work during the day.
2. Getting social: Exercising in the gym and running are both lonely sports. In the absence of a personal trainer or running buddy it is very hard for me to motivate myself to run or lift weights, even though I know the benefits of both activities. A few years ago, Nike made running social with Nike +, a simple device in your shoe that allows you to track your run and connects to a community of runners around the world. Smartphone apps like iMapMyRun and Gym Buddy has made it possible for me to share my efforts with my social network thus giving me the additional motivation to keep going!
3. Beating jet lag: My work involves frequent trips across time zones, thus making jet lag my mortal enemy. I tried taking melatonin and sleeping pills, which gave me temporary relief from my condition. Once again technology came to my rescue and I discovered an app called "JetLag Fighter" from Virgin Atlantic. Just by inputting my flight arrival and departure details, I can get a customized plan to accelerate acclimatization into the new time zone. To monitor my sleep patterns and get them back on track, I use a sleep monitor called LARK that helps me track my sleep patterns and also wakes me up gently in the morning, all through a band on my wrist connected to a smartphone app.
Techno+health can be an enabler in our quest to maintain well being. The challenge is in adopting a disciplined approach with exercise and diet and using technology to stay on track. My phone is beeping... time to hit the gym!

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
Ben Pearce was gracious enough to put together a good looking PowerShell Cheat Sheet which I've included as an attachment to this blog post. By definition, a cheat sheet is incomplete so this contains the things that Ben has found to be the most import. I think you'll find it useful.
Jeffrey Snover [MSFT]Windows PowerShell/MMC ArchitectVisit the Windows PowerShell Team blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/PowerShellVisit the Windows PowerShell ScriptCenter at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/msh.mspx
The Windows Powershell Blog has posted a two page cheat sheet for Powershell that was put together by Ben Pearce. It's very handy, I've already printed this out & sent it to the rest of the development team at work....
For some reason I think Jeffery didn't meant to trouble us, it was as simple as save doc file and upload it.With so many salty comments I'm sure it won't repeat
yeah the docx format was poor form, and just created needless negativity
apart from that, nice cheat sheet and thanks to those who converted it to more common formats
Nice cheat sheet. Just try to avoid using a bleeding-edge data format next time.
Hey Guys
Apologies for the confusion in providing a docx file. Completeley thoughtless on my part, and thanks to Jeff for rectifying this. A lesson now learnt :)
Here's a must-have cheat sheet for PowerShell. Jeffrey Snover has put together an excellent doc that
I was able to open the .docx file just fine in Word 2003 SP2.
Thanks, this is great!
I originally published Ben Pearce's PowerShell Cheat sheet in Word 2007 format . Given that I posted

PowerShell for Vista has shipped. http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/01/29/windows-powershell-1-0-for-windows-vista.aspx
I posted another PowerShell cheat sheet a while ago as well, that has a lot of commands listed with equivalents in the old shell and the new shell.. I find it useful.
No XPS available, sorry. :)
Developers Cheat Sheets
I have stumbled across an apparent bug in powershell (or shoddy documentation).
I am working on some scripts to copy and append/rename files based on the current date-time after moving to a backup location however when working with the get-date command I was confused over the output.
The help file for get-date, 'get-help get-date -full', indicates that I should be able to display the month in two digit numerical format (06) using 'get-date -uformat %M' I get the minutes and when using the lower case 'm' which should be minutes I get the two-digit month.
I have confirmed this behavior running powershell on Windows XP SP2 x86 and Windows 2003 SP1 x64.
Here is a list of cheat sheets for the Windows and .NET platform that I frequently use and I think are of great interest. Visual Studio 2005 Keyboard Shortcut References Visual C# 2005 - PDF grayscal...
I guess , we should have this in the doc too.
Lets say, we want to access property of object or do assing some value to it.
it is possible to do
someObject | %{ $_.someProperty = someValue}
Just an idea :-)

I don't post pics, but I have a loooong way to go. I was a size four whe I got pregnant, now I'm at a size 10. I'm 5' 2. I have about 20 pounds to get to where I want to be. My body looks like hell, but you know, my body's been through hell. 2 miscarriages at 12 and 13 weeks, an iffy first trimester, 21 weeks of hyperemesis, dehydration, 40 weeks of daily shots in the belly, getting hit by a bus at 6 months and being hospitalized for preterm labor, 55 pounds weight gain, low amniotic fluid, induction at 39 weeks, birth, second degree tear, and two postpartum.l infections that landed me back at the hospital. And I finally have the beautiful child that I prayed many, many years for and shed many tears hoping for. So yeah, my body looks like hell, but my baby brings me so much joy that my smile has never been more beautiful.

All of our Baltic Amber is Certified Genuine, Authentic, Natural Baltic Amber (except plastic clasp for safety reasons) that is guaranteed verifiable by your jeweler or your money back!! Amber Teething Jewelry is designed for wearing NOT CHEWING. Baltic Amber is found in and around the Baltic sea where an ancient species of trees was washed to shore to fossilize and create the unique and healing resin we know as Baltic Amber. What makes Baltic Amber so effective is its high content of succinic acid. Succinic acid is a natural pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and central nervous system calmer. It is so effective on babies and small children because it simultaneously eases their pain while also having a strong soothing effect on their nervous system - all with zero side effects! Used for centuries in Europe, Amber's natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties are perfect to soothe teething pain. Amber is fossilized resin, which warms when worn against the skin, releasing its therapeutic properties safely and naturally. All teething jewelry is knotted between every bead to prevent loss of beads should the string break (which it is designed to do under pressure for safety reasons) and fastens with a plastic TENSION-RELEASE clasp. Children should be supervised while wearing the jewelry and the jewelry should be removed from the child's neck while sleeping. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. CONTAINS SMALL PIECES! A new legislation came into effect February, 2009. It mandates an age recommendation of 3 years or older due to small parts. This jewelry is not intended for children under 3 years old. If you do not see this mandate listed on other Baltic Amber Teething Necklace retailers, they are in violation of US law. ALL teething necklaces MUST carry this mandate.

I registered for this necklace because of the great reviews and authenticity guarantee on this item's page. Unfortunately, after getting the item and being suspect about its materials I brought it to my local natural baby boutique and asked the clerk who sells amber necklaces all day long to take a look - it was easy to see and feel in comparison side by side that this necklace is a total fake - probably made of plastic. I am so disappointed!

Purchased to help with teething
Sep 09, 2013
By Sheryl L McCoy
The necklace itself is very well made. Looks great too. As far as calming, soothing or helping with my grandson's teething it hasn't made any difference. :( Could be that he is getting almost every tooth in at the same time.
A little disappointed
Jan 07, 2014
By Sheryl Fay
I purchased this necklace for my grand-daughter because she was having such a hard time with teething, and because several people I know recommended it so highly. However I think this baby must be the exception to the teething rule because she seemed to become more cranky when wearing it. And after just a couple weeks one of the beads broke. I've known babies who wear these and are truly helped by this product so I do not want to say that it doesn't work, but probably just not for my little one.
It Works for Us

I am willing to try anything sometimes. My now 19 month old daughter was having a really tough time cutting her back teeth. She cried and chewed on everything and the drool was immense. Once she started to wear this necklace it all stopped! Now she loves to put it on every day. Sometimes I do let her sleep in it. I know, I know. We usually take it off at night though. Kudos. This thing works for us!

ABSTRACT: We performed ultrasound-guided biopsies on 14 patients having tumors that were difficult to distinguish as benign or malignant on computed tomography. The study took place from January 2004 to December 2011. Of the 14 tumors biopsied, 12 were malignant, 1 was benign, and 1 was a sampling error. Of the 12 malignant tumors, 7 were primary kidney carcinomas. Six patients received radical or partial nephrectomies, and all had a good prognosis. Three patients with metastatic kidney cancers died of the primary disease. Eleven patients (85.5%) were diagnosed pathologically by biopsies, allowing us to decide the course of treatment. However, because our tests also revealed one sampling error and one unspecified cancer, we determined that there are limitations to a renal biopsy.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 03/2013; 59(3):149-52.

ABSTRACT: A 64-year-old man presented to our emergency room with right back pain on July 10, 2009. At the emergency room, abdominal enhanced computed tomography revealed a cystic lesion in the retroperitoneum. Then he was referred to our department. We performed percutaneous drainage of the retroperitoneal lesion and aspirated white pus. The retroperitoneal cystic lesion proved to be an abscess. Microscopic examination of a Gram stained specimen of the abscess revealed gram-positive bacillary fragments ; therefore, we suspected the pathogen to be Nocardia. He had a history of chronic glomerulonephritis and had received treatment consisting of 20 mg prednisolone, and 75 mg cyclosporine per day. He was regularly visiting the department of cardiovascular for follow-up of chronic heart failure. On the day before his visit to our emergency room, his chest X-ray medicine had revealed a nodular shadow. Then he was referred to the department of respiratory medicine and was scheduled to receive a bronchoscopy later. We suspected the nodule of the lung also to be an abscess of Nocardia. Later, head computed tomography (CT) revealed a brain abscess the pathogen of which was Nocardia. Nocardia is a filamentous, gram-positive, branched bacterium and classified as an aerobic actinobacteria. Nocardia species are difficult to diagnose due to non-specific clinical and histological manifestation. We report this case of disseminated nocardiosis presenting as retroperitoneal abscess. The disseminated nocardiosis was diagnosed without delay by percutaneous drainage and appropriate treatment was provided.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 12/2010; 56(12):691-5.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) of the kidney. A 68-years old female consulted a primary hospital with a chief complaint of back pain. Computed tomography revealed the tumor of the left kidney, so she was referred to our department. The tumor, 45 x 42 mm in length, was slightly enhanced, and that had well-defined margins. We performed radical nephrectomy. Pathological findings suggested MTSCC. MTSCC is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma composed of a combination of low-grade tubular cuboidal cells and spindle cells in a mucinous stroma. The immunohistochemistry is effective in its diagnosis.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 03/2010; 56(3):159-62.

ABSTRACT: A 60-year-old woman underwent detailed examinations for hepatic disorders and pancreatic tumor at the Department of Internal Medicine. A tumor mass in her left renal pelvis and a thickened wall in her left ureter were observed on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Retrograde ureteropyelography and drip infusion pyelography images showed a stenosis in 1 vertebral body from the left ureteropelvic junction. Urinary cytology finding was class III-a; however, malignancy could not be disregarded. Since the patient continued to experience severe dorsal pain, a left nephroureterectomy was subsequently performed at the patient's request. Pathological tests showed no malignant findings, and based on the chronic pyelonephritis, we diagnosed her condition as an inflammatory pseudotumor. Not many inflammatory pseudotumors are found in the urinary tract, and even fewer are manifest in the renal pelvis and ureter. Although inflammatory pseudotumors are generally benign, cases of repeated local recurrence exist. Therefore, a meticulous follow-up observation is required.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 12/2008; 54(11):737-40.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is rarely detected from abnormal chest radiographs. We report two cases of prostate cancer detected from pleural effusion. Case 1 is a 76-year-old man who consulted the department of internal medicine of our hospital with dyspnea and abdominal fullness. Pleural effusion and multiple hepatic tumors of unknown origin were pointed out, but he refused any further investigation or treatment for them. Six months later, he consulted a family doctor with urinary frequency and lumbago. Increased serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level to 864 ng/ml was recognized, then he was referred to our department. Under diagnosis of prostate cancer, T4NOM1c, maximal androgen blockade (MAB) was performed. Serum PSA level was decreased once to 8.1 ng/ml, but then rose gradually and he died 13 months after the beginning of the therapy. Case 2 was a 78-year-old man who was referred to our department to determine the origin of carcinomatous pleuritis detected in a routine general check up of hepatitis C. The serum PSA level was increased to 12,900 ng/ml, and the diagnosis was prostate cancer, T3aNOM1c. Although MAB was performed, the serum PSA level did not decrease markedly. He died 16 month after the beginning of the therapy.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 09/2008; 54(8):565-8.
Article: [Synergetic responses after administration of interleukin-2 and Interferon-alpha combined with gamma knife radiosurgery in a patient with multiple lung and brain metastases: a case report].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 51-year-old man with left renal tumor and multiple lung metastases was admitted to our hospital for treatment. Left nephrectomy was performed, and pathological diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma (clear cell carcinoma, G2, pT3a). Initially, Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy was started for lung metastases. About 40 days after surgery, head magnetic resonance imaging revealed brain metastases, and therefore gamma knife radiosurgery(GKS) was performed. Since chest computed tomography showed no change in lung metastases, we tried a combination of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IFN-alpha therapy to elininate those metastases. As a result, neither lung nor brain metastases could be detected at the 4th month follow-up examination. At 5 months after the IL-2 and IFN-alpha therapy, the patient attempted suicide. Therefore, the IL-2 and IFN-alpha therapy was stopped and an antidepressant was prescribed. Now 11 months after withdrawal of the IL-2 and IFN-alpha, the patient's mental condition remains stable. No recurrence of the cancer has been detected by CT.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 07/2005; 51(6):381-4.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of renal hemangiopericytoma which was incidentally discovered by ultrasonography at a health screening. A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for close examination of the renal tumor. Computed tomography revealed the left renal tumor, 60 x 50 mm in size, which was well enhanced with contrast medium. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an isointensity mass (T1-weighted) and high-intensity mass (T2-weighted) at the left kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed on suspicion of left renal cell carcinoma. Histopathological examination revealed renal hemangiopericytoma. The present case is the 7th in the Japanese literature.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 02/2005; 51(1):17-20.

ABSTRACT: We studied 181 patients diagnosed with male urethritis at Oogaki Municipal Hospital from April 2002 to March 2004. Twenty-two out of 92 patients diagnosed with gonococcal urethritis (GU) and 52 out of 89 patients diagnosed with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) were positive for Chlamidia trichomatis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Most patients of male urethritis were in their twenties. Of GU patients, 39 (67%) were infected from commercial sex workers (CSWs). Of NGU patients, 12 (30%) were infected from CSWs, 24 (40%) from girl friends and 4 (10%) from their Twenty-eight (48%) out of GU patients were infected through oral sex. spouse. Eighty-three GU patients were treated with SPCM (2 g, one shot). Fifty-five patients could be evaluated for the efficacy of treatment. Elimination rate of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 100% and 14 out of 18 patients with persisting urethritis had C. trichomatis. Eighty-two NGU patients were treated with minocycline, tosufloxacin, levofloxacin, gatiflixacin or clarithromycine. Sixty-six patients could be evaluated for the efficacy of treatment. Forty-one patients were diagnosed with non-gonococcal chlamydial urethritis (NGCU) and 25 patients were diagnosed with non-gonococcal, non-chlamydial urethritis (NGNCU). The clinical curative rate of NGCU and NGNCU was 93% (38/41) and 80% (20/25), respectively.Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica 02/2005; 51(1):57-60.
Article: Prognostic factors for survival of patients after curative surgery for renal cell carcinoma: Multivariate analysis of 482 cases[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Even with curative surgery, renal cell carcinoma occasionally recurs in other organs, with fatal results. In this study, we identified independent prognostic factors for survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma after curative surgery. The records of 482 patients (mean age, 61.0 years; range, 17-90 years) who underwent curative surgery for renal cell carcinoma at Gifu University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals between 1991 and 2000 were reviewed. The average follow-up period was 42 months (range, 10-140 months). Clinical characteristics of the 482 patients were divided into three categories: patient factors (sex, age, performance status, and mode of tumor discovery), tumor factors (T classification, N classification, mode of infiltration, histological grade, and venous invasion), and treatment factor (whether or not adjuvant therapy with interferon-alpha was used). Stepwise multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was performed to identify independent determinants of survival. Of the patient factors, performance status and mode of tumor discovery were independent factors predicting survival. Of the tumor factors, venous invasion and mode of infiltration were independent factors predicting survival. Use or non-use of adjuvant therapy was not significantly associated with survival. Overall, performance status, venous invasion, mode of infiltration, and histological grade were shown to be independent prognostic factors, in descending order of importance. Performance status, venous invasion, mode of infiltration, and histological grade, in descending order, were the most important factors predicting survival after curative surgery for renal cell carcinoma.International Journal of Clinical Oncology 01/2005; 9(6):510-4.

|Long-term outcome of patients treated surgically for traumatic knee dislocation: does the injury pattern matter?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20631467 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Aims To examine the difference in outcomes of patients treated surgically for traumatic knee dislocation with regard to different injury patterns. Methods All patients who underwent reconstruction/repair of the cruciates and primary complete repair of collaterals, posterolateral, and posteromedial corner structures were allocated to 3 groups (group A: bicruciate injury with associated medial side injury [n = 31]; group B: bicruciate injury with associated lateral injury [n = 20]; group C: bicruciate injury with associated medial and lateral injury [n = 23]). Outcome was assessed at a mean of 12 years postoperatively using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey, Lysholm score, Tegner score, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, and Knee Society score. Anterior-posterior laxity was also measured (KT1000 arthrometer; Medmetric Corp., San Diego, CA), and Pearson's correlation was used to compute associations between variables (P < 0.05) Results The mean time to return to work was 6 +/- 4 months in group A, 13 +/- 19 months in group B, and 11 +/- 12 months in group C. At final follow-up, 7 patients had a pain VAS of > 3 (group A: 6 patients; group B: 0 patients; group C: 1 patient). Seven patients could not flex their knee > 110 degrees (group A: 4 patients; group B: 0 patients; group C: 3 patients). Eighteen patients (24%) presented with an extension deficit of > 5 degrees . Valgus stress testing was > 3 mm in 12 patients (group A, 3 patients; group B, 4 patients; group C: 5 patients). Varus stress testing was > 3 mm in 9 patients (group A: 4 patients; group B: 3 patients; group C: 2 patients). The dial test at 30 degrees showed < 6 degrees (normal) and 6 degrees to 10 degrees (nearly normal) in 64 patients, and > 10 degrees (abnormal) in 10 patients (group A: 4 patients; group B: 2 patients; group C: 4 patients). At 90 degrees flexion, the difference was < 10 degrees in 70 patients and > 10 degrees in 4 patients (group A, 1 patient; group B: 1 patient; group C: 2 patients). Normal/nearly normal IKDC score values were found in 19 patients in group A, in 12 patients in group B, and in 14 patients in group C. There were no significant differences in outcome between the groups, except patients with an injury of the lateral collateral ligament and/or the peroneal nerve who had a greater need for workers compensation (P > 0.01). Conclusion Early complete 1-stage reconstruction/repair showed good subjective and functional results with restoration of working capacity, independent from the location of associated injuries (medial, lateral, and medial and lateral). A peroneal nerve lesion resulted in significantly poorer outcome.

The ramen burger is the brainchild of Keizo Shimamoto, a 35-year-old ramen blogger turned ramen chef.
Only 150 ramen burgers were made available to the public at a price of $8 apiece.
Currently, Shimamoto is working part-time at a ramen shop in New York City while dreaming up new ramen burger variations.
Chances are, wherever there are hungry college students, a ramen joint will follow.
About two months ago, Shimamoto moved to New York to put his ramen burger idea into effect.
"The juices from the patty soak into the ramen noodles and it resembles a ramen soup," Shimamoto told The Daily Beast.
"In 28 days, I visited 21 different cities and ate 55 bowls of ramen," he says.
The two became friends, and would go out and eat burgers and ramen together.
The Queen frustrates our plans by her blind confidence in Mrs. ramen.
