After you have installed the hotfix package 2352342 or 2281364 in SharePoint Server 2010, the Event ID 3 Error is logged.
We observed, that after applying the august CU the following error shows up in bulks in the event application log of the server the User Profile Synchronization service is running:
This issue occurs because the versions of Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.exe and Microsoft.ResourceManagement.dll do not match the versions that are specified in the WorkflowDefinition table in the Forefront Identity Manager Service database.
For a short resolution, I tested in my lab the following workaround by just recreating the sync database did the trick, and kept my profile and social database and its data in place .
You first need to delete and then re-create the User Profile Service application. Before you do this, make screenshots of all settings (i.e. database names, My Site host location, etc.) and ensure that you have all information in place to recreate the User Profile Service application by only recreating the sync database!
To do this, follow these steps:
The issue is reported to the SharePoint Team and a KB article will be available soon is now published on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2432041
Note!Don't worry, if the Event error might be logged one time again but only once after a reboot or restart of the FIM Services, this is a normal behavior and can be ignored.
If you have installed the august CU packages before you had a user profile servcie instance configured or running, you might not be affected by this issue. Also a complete new recreation of the UPA might resolve this but consider the data loss when you delete the profile and social databases!

Hello Steve,
I think you missed one step; recreating the User Profile Service. Before that you can't start the Profile Sync service again.
After installing the october CU, I also seem to have problems with the person.aspx page located under the my site root. Do you perhaps have an idea on how to fix that?
Hi Jasper,
yes you're right, I already corrected the missing step and updated the post.
Regarding your "person.aspx" problem, you should check the ULS logs for any hints on that. Unfortunately you have not written more details on the problem and what behavior it shows, can you provide more details on what the problem exactly is?
Check also my other post about "Troubleshooting User Profile Sync Issues on SharePoint 2010
" posted on 13-10-2010. Maybe you'll find some more info there that miuht help you investigate your issue further.
thnx, Steve
Do you know if Microsoft is coming out with a hotfix for the errors and when? It is causing the error log to fill up within minutes.
Hi Tyler,
unfortunately there is no fix but a workaround as described above and also here: support.microsoft.com/.../2432041
If you have installed any higher build after august 2010 CU and recreated the UPA afterwards, you should not get the event error any more.
But even on following the workaround or KB article, it may occur that after a reboot for example at least once on startup the Event ID 3 gets logged although.
This is nothing to worry about and is just some "noises in the logs"
Hth, cheers and happy new year,
Worked great, thanks!
Hi Steve.
Thanks for all of your posts Mr.Steve.

What is GuildMaster?
In court documents, GuildMaster describes itself as a company that designs, imports, markets and sells furniture, lighting, accessories and wall art in several major markets in the United States. Its president and CEO is Steve Crowder, of Nixa.
The company has founded in Springfield in 1981, according to its website. At its peak, it employed approximately 57 workers in the area, but it closed its Springfield manufacturing facility in 2005 and moved its lamp manufacturing operations to China, according to the Dec. 12 indictment.
The company had more than $12 million in gross income in the fiscal year ending June 2011, bankruptcy filings show. GuildMaster is publicly traded, with the stock symbol GLDU.
A Springfield home furnishing company filed for bankruptcy protection last week, putting 25 local jobs at risk, a day after being accused in an indictment of selling lamps with counterfeit certification stickers.
The charges come more than eleven months after U.S. Customs and Border Patrol began seizing more than 5,700 lamps from GuildMaster, Inc., 1938 E. Phelps St.
At issue, according to the Dec. 12 federal indictment, is a sticker from Underwriters Laboratories, an independent product safety certification organization. From 1990 to 2007, GuildMaster had a contract with UL allowing it attach labels with the words Portable Luminaire to certain GuildMaster products, the indictment reads. Between 2009 and 2012, GuildMaster imported numerous shipments of lamps into the U.S. with counterfeit labels substantially indistinguishable from the genuine Portable Luminaire labels, the indictment charges.
According to ULs website, the company certifies samples of products such as lamps to be in compliance with its safety requirements, and authorizes manufacturers to identify products meeting those standards with stickers.
Customs and Border Patrol seized approximately 5,717 lamps in transit to GuildMaster in Springfield, as well as showrooms in Las Vegas and Dallas, in 11 different incidents between January and March of 2012.
According to court documents, approximately 5,150 of those lamps had counterfeit labels, while 567 had the correct labels, which the company was not authorized to use.
On Dec. 13, GuildMaster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allows the company to restructure its debt.
The seizure has had significant costs to GuildMaster, the company stated in filing documents, including the cost of the original lamps, lost profits on those lamps, the cost of additional lamps to replace inventory, attorneys fees and inspection expenses, as well as significant damage to its business relationships with customers who cancelled their order. GuildMaster estimated the combined losses to be in excess of $1.5 million.
GuildMaster may be forced to go out of business if the Lamps are not returned by the United States, the document reads. This would result in the loss of jobs for 25 employees in Springfield, Missouri and more than 375 employees in China and Indonesia.
GuildMaster also asked the court to direct the United States to return the lamps and cover the costs. In court documents, it said that it believes the labels were applied by an employee in China who could not read the sticker, which is written in French.
GuildMaster believes that the Dongguan emloyee had no knowledge that the UL Sticker was meant to evidence a trademark and the Dongguan employee mistakenly believed the UL Sticker was required by U.S. law, the document reads.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that most, if not all, of the parts used to manufacture the lamps were in fact certified by UL, said Karen McNeill, a spokesperson for the company told the News-Leader. The sticker in question certifies the lamp as a whole, and the company readily admits it should not have been there, McNeil said though she also said that the company has not been able to see the lamps since they were seized to verify the problem.
It is not clear why the Chinese worker would have had access to allegedly counterfeit labels.
You have to understand that the standards in China are not like they are here, McNeill said.
In a statement, the company said that the questionable stickers were applied to the socket of the lamp socket, and are not easily visible when the lamps are showcased.
To allege that we somehow used the UL certification or trademark to leverage the value of the UL trademark is ridiculous, the statement read. If that were that case we would have not only advertised that the lamps were UL listed but we would have merchandised them so that the customer would be aware that they were UL listed.
McNeil said that GuildMaster is operating business as usual and shipping products on schedule, despite the companys legal and financial challenges.

|Worldwide Wonders: Collectors set records with their doll passions and obsessions!
Dolls comprise a nice share of the Guinness World Records data. This one-of-a-kind Barbie, whose pink-diamond necklace was handcrafted by jeweler Stefano Canturi, was bought at Christie's in New York for 2,500—making it the most expensive Barbie ever auctioned. The proceeds went for breast cancer research.
My daughter is in second grade and her math class is expanding beyond basic addition and subtraction. When she was younger—that phrase makes me laugh as I type it, because 8 is so gosh darn young—but when she was around 5 or 6, she'd demand math problems just for the fun of it.
The 2015 DOLLS Awards of Excellence Industry's Choice winners (DAEs, also called the Diamond Awards) were announced at the International Doll & Teddy Bear Show in Asheville, N.C., June 6. The Industry's Choice winners will go on to become the nominee's in the Public's Choice voting, set to begin in late June.
Without further ado, here are the winners of this year's Industry's Choice Diamond Awards!
The Jones Publishing Lifetime Achievement Award is bestowed upon one recipient per year. This award was created in 2002 in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the teddy bear, with the first recipient being Steiff, a German-based plush toy company known for its high quality and prices.
The Lifetime Achievement recipient must be or have been involved in some aspect of the doll and/or teddy bear field for a minimum of 25 years. The recipient may be an individual, partnership, corporation, company, author, artist, marketer, historian or any other industry professional. Lifetime Achievement Award nominations may be made by previous recipients or members of the LAA committee.
To qualify as a nominee, entrants must meet the following criteria:
The Lifetime Achievement Award has been presented to the following individuals and companies since its inception:
2002 Steiff

August 8, 2014 - Blackall Associates Inc. is proud to announce the winner of its Summer Heat Photo Contest. The contest drew entries from around the world. Masterpiece Doll collectors sent in a special photo showing how their Masterpiece Dolls were enjoying the summer heat.
You haven't seen a toy show until you've seen this one. Six buildings! Over six hundred exhibitors! Exclusively toys and dolls and children's playthings on display everywhere! This is the show everyone always says they intend to visit, and now is the time to do just that. Collectors say the Chicago Toy Show really is the largest in the entire world. They are correct. Collectors say they find toys at this show that are never seen anywhere else. Correct again.
19 April 2014 – 5 October 2014
A special exhibition will take place at the Toy Worlds Museum Basle to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Japanese-Swiss diplomacy and friendship.

The long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed 1999 release 69 Love Songs, i finds singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt in full possession of his acerbic wit. Featuring lyrics ripe with melancholy and bittersweet imagery, the record's fourteen tracks are possibly the most personal Merritt has created to date -- a departure from the many voices on 69 Love Songs.

Come summers and our thirst for cold water begins. Cold water has helped many of us tackle the summer heat by instantly giving us a cooling sensation. It has not only quenched our thirst but also cooled our sweating hot bodies down. Those sigh of sheer happiness when you finish drinking cold water after fighting the insufferable heat of the peak summers. Bliss!
I think it is safe to assume that most of us love drinking cold water in the summers and wouldn't trade it with any other beverage of any other temperature. But when we come across the 'internet facts (read fads) or popular myths' like drinking cold water harms your body and affects your health adversely, we can't guiltlessly enjoy our icy cold water. We are always shutting that voice of reason which reiterates the read fact and we end up feeling bad instead of blissful after our drink.
We are going to explain how drinking water at any temperature does not have any sort of adverse or harmful impact on your health. So, we have come across many articles on the internet about when you have cold water after a meal, it solidifies the ingested fat which in turn does not get broken down and gets collected in the body as stored fat, thereby making you fat. Well I think it is safe to say that this line of research is based on nothing and has had no concrete results. It is an absolutely confirmed fact that drinking cold water does no such thing.
Water has no fat or carbohydrate in it; hence it cannot possibly make you fat, though depending on its source, it might contain some minerals & vitamins. While consuming hot water on an empty stomach after waking up in the morning is believed to boost metabolism and we would suggest that you follow this rule in order to lose weight more efficiently, drinking cold water can also help you burn a few extra calories.
When you drink cold water, your body has to work a little extra to bring the temperature of the water to normal and in this process it ends up burning calories to produce that energy. Although the number of calories burnt is not that much. E.g.: to warm 500ml of ice cold water your body burns only 17 Calories. But if you calculate the number of times you end up burning 17 calories into the number of days, we are sure you will reach a more appreciable number.
While we are not suggesting that you try to lose weight only by drinking cold water instead of a healthy diet and exercise, we are emphasizing on the fact that drinking cold water neither makes you fat nor has any adverse effects on your body.
Another fact is that drinking cold water after exercising can help you get rehydrated faster and helps bring the elevated body temperature to normal. Some studies even show that our stomach absorbs cold water faster than warm water, allowing us to indulge in our physical activity for a longer time without worrying about dehydration.
While we suggest you drink 9-12 glasses of water every day to keep your body free of toxins and other harmful compounds which gets flushed out through water when you urinate, we would also encourage you to take more reasonable decisions when it comes to fads like 'Does drinking cold water make you fat or unhealthy?'
A few different ways of including more water in your daily diet:
You can enjoy these drinks everyday either hot or cold to increase your daily water uptake and reap the benefits of a toxin free, well hydrated healthy body. Happy Drinking!

Andrology: Pharmacotherapies for Men Only
Davis, W Marvin, Drug Topics
Andrology is defined as the area of scientific study concerned with the masculine constitution and the diseases of the human male. This implies especially the study of diseases of the male organs of reproduction and aspects of fertility.
Because of the current demographic trends, andrology increasingly will be concerned with problems of aged males, as well as those males in the "crisis decade" (the 50s) entering into an "andropause," or a putative male climacteric. While many critical issues of health and drug therapy of importance to men are not necessarily restricted to that sex, in this article we will consider only those topics that are exclusive to male patients.
Primary and secondary male structures
The primary reproductive organs of the male are the paired male gonads-the testes-which produce not only the male hormones, or androgens, but also the reproductive cellsthe spermatozoa, or sperm cells. Gonadal function is activated from the pituitary by hormones called gonadotropins.
In turn, the penis (by which sperm is transferred during coitus) and adjunct organs needed for semen secretion (the seminal vesicles and the prostate) are maintained in development and function by the testicular hormone, testosterone.
In embryogenesis, androgens are responsible for normal virilization of the urogenital tract. At puberty, gonadotropins from the anterior pituitary evoke continuing production of androgens, which in turn act locally on the cells of primary tissues and organs to support their development during puberty and to initiate the production of semen. In addition, they support the development of secondary structures in the male genital tract, such as the prostate.
In general, the androgens are responsible for expression of the male phenotype by also acting systemically, influencing development of not only skeleton, skeletal muscles, and dermal structures but also such other diverse structures as the vocal cords.
Texture of the skin as well as hair follicles of the scalp, beard, and body are under the influence of the male hormonal regulation. Size and shape of the skeleton, the nature of its musculature, and the level of body fat and its distribution are influenced to achieve the classical male habitus with its contrasts to the habitus of the female.
Male endocrinology
The androgens are hormones consisting mainly of testosterone and its reduction product, DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Both of these molecules bind to and activate androgen receptors, but DHT has greater affinity for the receptor and thus comprises a more potent androgen.
Conversion of testosterone occurs under the influence of the enzyme known as 5alpha-reductase (5AR), which occurs in two forms. Distribution of this enzyme-its levels and the form present--differ across various organs. It is most abundantly present in the prostate, the skin, and the reproductive tissues and organs, making these areas more vulnerable to the effects of androgens. This explains certain later-life, age-related responses to longterm hormone presence, namely, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male-pattern baldness-genetically determined, hormone-dependent alopecia. Excess hair growth in older men on areas other than scalp, such as orifices of ears and nose, is another such effect of longterm androgen action.
Testosterone is the predominant circulating form of androgen, occurring primarily (98%-99%) in the globulinbound form; thus, most of it is unavailable to tissue cells. Another important metabolic route for testosterone is its conversion to estradiol and estrone by enzymes known as the aromatase complex, found most abundantly in adipose tissue, liver, and certain nuclei of the central nervous system. The molecules that have undergone 5-alpha reduction, however, are not susceptible to metabolism to an estrogen.
When the testes diminish their normal output of testosterone, secretion of an androgen from the adrenal cortex, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), may become of increased physiological significance. …

102 nights of street protests against Spanish evictions
People suffering from bank evictions in Spain continue to protest in the streets. The group 'Platform Of The Affected Families By The Bank Mortgages' made a statement on Thursday asking that their situation be resolved. They said the government's latest move is just another patch coming from popular pressure.After spending 102 nights in the street, protesting for the eviction problem in Spain, the members of the platform of the affected families by the bank mortgages have considered it is time to express their opinions on the situation they are going through. They consider it all to be part of a big set to benefit the banks This last Wednesday, the economic minister Luis de Guindos said that the government is preparing new lines of action to solve this problem, with measures that include debt reduction for the evicted and a maximum of 30 years for mortgages payment. Measures considered as "patches" by the Platform members. To make more evident the lack of understanding between the evicted people, banks and government, members of the platform have tried, with no success, to deliver many thousands of signed petitions so 11 families, one per each of these piles, may discuss with the bank a pay in kind and therefore, a condonation of their debt. Since 2008, more than 400.000 families have been evicted from their homes. At the same time, banks responsible for the crisis and the evictions have received public fundings to avoid bankruptcy. For this reason, and for a total change in the mortgages law, the platform of affected families by bank mortgages have called for a nation-wide demonstration to take place on February 16th in all Spanish Capitals. 102 nights of a fight against a system that has taken away everything that they've got. A movement that has been able to, not only to paralyze over 500 evictions in all of Spain, but that has also gained the sympathy and the respect of the entire Spanish society, except of course, of the banks.

This was the second time I have stayed at Austin Rise.
It is such a pleasure to stay here. What more could one ask for when you get to the accommodation after a very long day. On arriving on a drizzly coolish Melbourne evening , you enter to the warmth of the fire ablaze. Instantly you feel relaxed after the stressful day at work. Brett was attentive in carrying my bag. And then the offer of a nice glass of red. Luxury to end the day.
I stayed in the Whistler room this time ( Roberts last time ) , and it was spacious , comfortable and quiet.
I can not recommend this B&B highly enough.
Is also close to the city and some good restaurants in Burgundy Street just 3 minutes away
Thank you Beverley & Brett. Hope to stay with you again soon

she looks fat
You get the feeling she's got something clenched in every orifice.
Blake Lively on crack.
omg girl…get some self esteem.
YEAH! Get some self-esteem, stupid!
The great thing about a women who pursers her lips and doesn't eat? Clean anal, and no yelling. Like the wood post out back with the knothole in it, but fatter.
Does she realize that 9% body fat makes her look OLD???
This must be the photo from the X-Ray machine.
Enough with the fringe! Why are your ankles wrapped with leather straps? You need a stylist pronto because you look like shit as usual. If you are possibly going to get your picture taken you should look in the mirror before leaving the house. LeAnn tries to look cool but falls flat. Get a spine and a personality while your at it.
spines weight too much
And in a tragic, but foreseeable, turn of events, she fell through her own pelvis and hanged herself shortly after this pic was taken.
Good riddance.
LeAnn Rimes, just back from her vacation at the Area 51 spa and vomitorium.
I understand this look is called "Skanky Hobo."
This ISN'T Renee Zelwegger ?
"Adele, you been in Daddy's corn whiskey again, you're wearing the damn drapes!"
OOHHHHH the things her mouth has to do to get through customs!
Sooo lets assume that all of you leaving negative comments are overweight and have a discusting sense of style. youre wasting your time judging someone you dont know. congrats if doing that makes you feel a little better about your pathetic lives.
First time on the Internet, LeAnn's mom?
Correct on all counts, except I would call my sense of style "fair to middling" and my life "hopeless", not "pathetic". Gold star in Interhatz Psychology for you, though!
What did you just call my kettle?
Hmm, you must not have seen the name of this site. And we don't make fun to feel better about ourselves, we make fun to amuse ourselves.
When you remember that the camera adds ten pounds you wonder how she has the strength to stand upright.
Does this dress make me look fat???
You really aren't kidding with the "crap" statement, huh? You're dead fucking serious.
Sadly, this weight loss stunt is working for her. Nobody gave a shit about her when she looked normal, now she's all over the media again.

Mophie helium for iPhone 5
light, slim, status meter on back
Still makes iPhone massive, only works for iPhone 5,
The Mophie helium for iPhone is a new dedicated juice pack for the iPhone, sitting snugly around the Apple smartphone and promising to deliver power when your phone starts to run low. We fitted the new exterior battery case to our iPhone 5 to see if it really is that easy.
As with previous Mophie cases, the gunmetal metallic helium comes in two parts that spilt to neatly fit around your iPhone 5, making it easy to fit and take off whenever needed. The locking mechanism - which snaps into place - is strong, but not so much that you won't be able to get the thing off when you want to.
Once on, the case does of course add bulk and length to your phone, but not overly so. If you've previously seen the company's iPhone 4 and 4S offerings the helium is 13 per cent thinner. To give you an idea of size and design, think of the curved iPhone 3GS and you'll be on the right track.
Made from a smooth soft-touch material, the helium is solid, well built and comfortable to hold. The iPhone 5 buttons are still easily accessible, although the lightning connector is replaced on the outside with a micro USB socket. You'll also need to make sure your headphones jack has a long straight connector, if it doesn't it won't fit any more. The good news is, an adapter is provided in the box.
Around the back there are four LED lights that act as a power indicator, to let you know how much charge you have, and a toggle on/off switch to set the helium going. It's all very similar to the company's Samsung Galaxy S case we recently reviewed.
Giving you an extra boost during the day is what the helium is all about. It's also Mophie's thinnest and lightest juice pack to date and packs 80 per cent more battery life into its case than previous models. It has a 1500mAh battery which is almost the same capacity as the iPhone 5's internal battery, and that should give you more than enough power to extend your iPhone battery by another day at least.
Mophie promise helium users will get up to six additional hours of talk time, 30 additional hours of audio playback, seven additional hours of video playback or seven hours of Wi-Fi internet use (six hours with 3G and LTE) by recharging their phone from the accessory.
Charging performance is good, giving us 50 per cent of battery charge in just under an hour and certainly living up to the claims of plenty of extra power.
It's also worth noting that the helium comes with three-quarters charge when you buy it, handy if you need the power there and then.
No matter how you cut it, the Mophie helium will still add plenty of weight, bulk and length to that shiny new Apple iPhone you've just bought.
Yes it acts as a case, yes you'll get longer battery life from it, and yes it will keep your phone protected, but you do have to pay for that with the increased size of the device.
Additionally, because this is a dedicated power case for the iPhone 5, you can't use it to charge other devices you might have, like your tablet, a Mi-Fi, certain cameras, or other gadgets in the depths of your bag.
Furthermore, while there are some advantages to having a micro USB charging socket, it would be nice to have a Lightning adapter option so you could plug the phone into a docking speaker or use the Apple cable with, or without, the helium case.
The Mophie helium does the best job it can, and is likely to be popular among heavy users who want a dedicated iPhone 5 battery case, rather than something that can be used on other devices. We quite like that you can charge your phone and the case at the same time.
That said, the helium still isn't perfect, not from what it delivers, but just by the nature of the adversities it has to overcome. If you don't mind doubling the size of your iPhone 5, then the helium is great; if not, then this isn't for you.

He couldn't make it to Albany in May to be honored with his fellow inductees, so Albany came to him.
Art Van Tyne, who was discharged from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 1947, later serving in the Air Force Reserve until 1974, was recognized for his inclusion in the New York State Senate Veterans' Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place at Morrison Hayes American Legion Post No. 702 in Wellsville.
Van Tyne was the nominee of state Sen. Catharine Young. He was unable to attend the May 21 induction ceremony in Albany because he was at a convention in Pittsburgh,?Pa. at the time.
"Art Van Tyne's story of sacrifice, patriotism, and service is a reminder of how much his generation gave. As a World War II veteran who served in the Pacific Theater, Art's aircraft navigational skills were vital to the movement of troops, material, and military leaders throughout several different countries,"?Young said. "As an official inductee in the New York State Senate Veterans' Hall of Fame, Lt. Col. Van Tyne's meritorious service to our nation and community will receive the special recognition that only a Hall of Fame can provide, as a fitting expression of our gratitude and admiration."
Speaking to family, friends and local and state leaders, Van Tyne said, "I'm overwhelmed, really. It's very heartwarming to see all of you folks that I love so much and such great friends ..."
Van Tyne, 87, joined the U.S. Army Air Forces' Aviation Cadet program at the age of 18.
"With a month, I was in basic training (which he completed in Miami Beach, Fla.) and we continued through the various places that were mentioned here," Van Tyne said. He was referring to places such as Michigan State University and airfields in Kansas and Texas, where he excelled in the study of navigation and aircraft. In January 1945, he received his navigator's wings and was promoted to second lieutenant.
Van Tyne was assigned to work with B-17 bombers. With the war in Europe drawing to a close, however, and focus shifting to the war in the Pacific, Van Tyne reported to Fort Bragg, N.C., for secret training in radar navigation in preparation for a potential invasion of Japan. He was soon deployed to the Pacific and assigned to the 5th Air Force Headquarters, where his high level of performance and training resulted in his designation as a navigator for twin engine bombers and various transport aircraft. Van Tyne flew missions over Okinawa, Eastern China, Japan, and Korea, logging 1,200 flying hours transporting freight, personnel, and high-ranking military officials.
With the war's end, Van Tyne continued to serve with occupation forces in Japan and Korea. When being discharged from active duty in 1947, he was asked by the discharging officer if he would join the Air Force Reserve due to his expertise and experience in radar navigation. The discharging officer told Van Tyne that there was a need for people with his specialized training. He joined the Air Force Reserve, where he served for another 27 years, until retiring in 1974.
Page 2 of 2 - In 1981, Van Tyne started his own business as a geological consultant with an office on Main Street in Wellsville, an office which he continues to run to this day. He also spent 12 years as the deputy mayor for the village of Wellsville, has been president of the local Rotary Club, was a longtime member and chair of the Jones Memorial Hospital Board of Directors, and served as president of the local United Way.
Van Tyne and his wife, Pat, have been married for 67 years. They have two sons, Mark and Pete, and two daughters Cynthia and Judy. Art and Pat Van?Tyne have six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
"I'm very pleased. It's a wonderful thing,"?Van Tyne said the week before Thursday's ceremony. "I didn't expect any of this at all. You go into the service, you do your duty, that's it. It's a nice thing to have happen, but I?didn't expect it."
State Assemblyman Joseph Giglio spoke at the ceremony, as did county Board of Legislators Chairman Curt Crandall and village Mayor Judy Lynch. Lynch read a proclamation in honor of Van Tyne.

I am working on embedding Quicktime movies into my WordPress posts (version 2.0.3). Is there an easy way ?
I have tried adding the basic embed code, however, can't get around WordPress formatting the code into "smart-text" (or whatever it is called). I tried using the "Text-Control" plugin, however, that has not made a difference (I don't know if it isn't working or what I am doing wrong). My code gets all screwed up in WordPress mumbo ... have just tried to post the code without any hard-returns but still no luck.
I have tried using the extreme video plugin ... and while this is super fast and nice (bravo!) I have display issues on Firefox (as that the "click here to view this video" link are offset way to the right and do not show up in the post until after I click on it -- at that point, it moves back to where it should be) and Internet Explorer (the icons and links show up in the correct space, unlike firefox, but I do not have any control features for quicktime: pause, play, etc.)
So: is there an easy way ?

The calendar may say spring, but with snow and cold weather
that just won't warm up, people are more than ready for spring to
be here. People want to be planting gardens, watching flowers
bloom and mowing lawns instead of getting stuck on an icy
highway, facing blizzards or shoveling feet of snow at a time.
With more golden rays of warm sunshine falling as each day
lengthens, the snow can only last so long and soon spring will be
in full bloom.
As the snow melts and warm days arrive, people will get their
lawns ready for summer, tilling the garden and planting all the
seeds they were thinking about while snowbound. Soon, people will
be fertilizing their lawns and gardens and giving away extra
vegetables to all their neighbors.
As you pick up fertilizer at the store you may not think much
about the companies that make your plant food or fertilizer, but
there is an investment opportunity there.
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (
) has trended higher over the last year from $42 a share to a
recent $60. The company has a $3.7 billion market capitalization
and a 2.9% dividend yield. The stock is highly seasonal, losing
money in two quarters of the year and making money in two
quarters of the year. This should not be surprising as it books
77% of revenue comes in during the warm second and third quarters
(in the northern hemisphere). This is a fertilizer company and
most people don't fertilize their lawn in January. Looking at the
full year's profit numbers, the company made $2.58 in 2013; $1.82
in 2012; and 1.84 in 2011. Analysts think SMG will pull in
earnings close to $3.15 in 2014 on a 3% sales growth and margins
rising about 1% to 36%.
U.S. sales make up 83% of the business while the International
sales make up 17%. Consumer sales make up 90% of the revenue
while Scotts lawn service makes up 9%. The company is dependent
on Home Depot (
), Lowe's (
) and Walmart (
) for 68% of their sales. SMG is also cutting costs and
expects an extra $20 million in cost savings in 2013 and an extra
$60 million by 2016.
We all know adding fertilizer makes the garden grow better or
the lawn look a little nicer. You can get a deeper green color, a
more full lawn and your neighbors will envy you if you treat it
right. The right combination of fertilizers will also make your
garden grow prize-winning produce.
And just like putting some fertilizer on the garden can make
it grow a little more, you may be able to do the same thing with
your investments. There are strategies that can make higher
returns from a stock that doesn't grow as fast as you might like.
You can sell a covered call on the stock and receive premium that
will boost your returns 3%. While a covered call will make you
portfolio a little more productive, it will also limit your
growth, kind of like cutting the grass twice a week so it stays
the perfect length. A covered call does cap the maximum return a
stock will give you, but if you move the strike price up, you can
set this in an area where you will be happy with

Take a look at a covered call on Scotts Miracle Gro (
). With the stock at $60.32, the September 65 call still leaves
this stock a little room to grow and has a 1.75 bid. The 58.57
(60.32-1.75) net debit has an 11% assigned return over the next
six months with a 23% annualized return rate. The stock
needs to rise about 7.7% over the next six months in order to be
assigned. If the stock stays flat you will pull in 2.9% more than
if you didn't sell the call. Using covered calls you won't get
the highest returns of everyone in the market, but you can
reliably boost returns on a variety of stocks.

December 2013 – March 2014
SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE! Christmastime is looking swell for pretty, unassuming real-estate-agent Suzann: she just sold a house to a nice swinger couple; her husband Jeff scored a sweet new job; and her favorite holiday is quickly approaching. After a sudden tragedy takes Jeff away, Suzanne is left lost and lonely. Even worse, a friend of his confesses a secret: there's another woman. Her name's Fantasia and she works at the "girl club." In their grief, the two women form an awkward but meaningful friendship. Pushing away the ghosts of Christmas present, Suzanne falls into Fantasia's world of dance parties, shoplifting and substances! But maybe that's not what Suzanne's looking for either…
On the strength of just two incredibly intimate, intricate and idiosyncratic feature films in ten years, writer/director/actor/composer Shane Carruth has undeniably established himself as an auteur on the bleeding edge of science fiction.

NORTHERN LIGHTS, in it's production and release, is itself a landmark of American Independent Cinema.

Combining the Vaseline-lensed sense and sexability of an early '90s Zalman King production with the DIY sex and sensibility of modern American Independent cinema, 24 EXPOSURES is Joe Swanberg's deeply weird take on that stalwart genre of late night cable, the erotic thriller. A fetish photographer with a wandering eye gets caught up in a murder investigation whelmed by a disturbed and depressed divorced Detective.

Kanye and Kim's engagement has most people excited, but there's at least one person who's not happy in the least. Kris Humphries' father seems a little sour over the whole thing, and seems to believe it's all a set up.
"I don't really care, it's water under the bridge. But I wish her all best," Humphries told the Daily News. "West probably didn't choose it. Does a leopard really change its spots? I don't think so. Not much changes, it's just different actors this time around."
Mr. Humphries also took a dig at Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner, as they recently split up.
"Well, if Bruce and Kris are any indication, I'd say good luck," he said. "She's stepping right into it all over again."

2007 Mazda 3 • 58,000 miles
Hi, I recently changed my oil and decided to clean the intake manifold and throttle body and when I looked inside the manifold there was a thick oily layer. This explains why the oil level was low also. I researched online and found it could be a clogged PCV valve so I changed it which included removing the intake manifold so I cleaned it out while it was removed. I installed everything and went to drive it and now during acceleration it is sluggish until 5000 rpms and then it really pulls. Any ideas on what this could be, could it be that some of the carb cleaner got into the combustion chamber and damaged the plugs. There is also some of the oily film in the combustion chamber on top of the pistons. Thanks for the help!

Oil film is normal in the upper intake. It is from blow by in the pistons.
Make sure you have no vacuum leaks from your repair.

Thank you for the quick reply. I also went ahead and changed the spark plugs and when I looked inside there the cylinder there was more black stuff on the pistons. I recentlly drove after changing the oil and the oil level dropped to the bottom of the stick after only 200 miles. There is no oil leak anywhere though and it doesn't smell at all like burning oil out of the exhaust. Here is a picture of the old spark plugs and down into the clyinder. Do you have any idea as to what this could be? Thank you.

This is a great powder brush - soft and doesn't shed any hairs and a good price too. Robust enough to wash well. Highly recommended.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Oh wow this is by far my favourite brush of all time. Versatile! I own most of the Mac make up brushes and yes they're a great brand but this baby from RT is my favourite. It's gorgeously soft, it's not expensive, it applies product evenly and honestly makes my make up look wow. It does not shed hairs and it's so soft. I own 3 and use one for blush one for powder and one to blend contour. I cannot recommend this brush enough. I purchased it for around £10. It washes up lovely. I always use the brush guards with it to restore it's thick bushy shape. Bytheway I purchased the mac 150 brush it shed like crazy and scratched my face. This Real Techniques powder brush replaces the Mac 150 in my opinion.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Blue
I've loved and loved this brush ever since my crushing disappointment from owning a MAC powder brush(150 I think ). I spent what seemed like a fortune on the MAC one and it was so very bad as it was constantly shedding hair. This powder brush from real techniques is a fraction of the cost (retails at £10-11 here in the UK) and has not shed any hairs at all since I've had it. It is lovely and soft . It feels comfortable in the hand when being used . It is easy to clean and most importantly applies product easily and evenly. Would buy again if I needed to .
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

I love this! I ordered it online so I wasn't sure how the size would work for a total face brush, but it's great (could possibly be a hint bigger, but nonetheless, great). It is SUPER SOFT. It feels like running your face with a baby bunny. It gives a smooth, even finish. I use it for finishing with powder or a thin layer of bronzer, and sometimes for blush if I just want a subtle color. I like how the tips of the brush are white, so you can better see the amount of the product you have on there. I have had some shedding, especially once I first got it, but it's not much. Over all love this brush!!!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I love this brush it's a recent purchase of mine to my collection it's a great brush but the only problem is I have dry skin so it dose t work as we'll for me as other people but I really do recommend it :) all in all a great brush !!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
- soft
- dense
- doesn't shed
- none
COMMENTS: Very soft and perfect for buffing everything in. It's great for a sheer layer of powder, as well. You could also use this to bronze the face and it will look very natural.
Will repurchase.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
The thing I love about the RT brushes, is that the majority of them stand up, the hairs are always soft.
I use this brush for bronzer and it picks up the right amount of product and the head is large enough to cover a big section of the face for an all over look but also small enough if you just want some added colour to your cheeks! Great product - much better than Mac 150 brush!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Love it for blending out my bronzer and applying my hourglass ambient lighting powder!! Works awesome, similarly to some of my high end brushes maybe even better. Love the product and the price!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Green
For the price, this is a great brush.
At first it had an unpleasant odor, but with a quick wash that has disappeared.
It cleans up easily, and I haven't experienced any shedding.
It doesn't eat up product, and applies finishing powder nicely.
The real techniques brush is very soft, not at all scratchy, but not the softest out there. I do have a MUFE kabuki brush that is like rubbing a baby rabbit against your face, it's THAT soft! It's not my HG powder brush for that reason. I prefer an uber-soft texture against my face.
The handle is comfortable, maybe slightly too chunky, but that is just nit-picking.
Because of the excellent price for this quality, I would repurchase.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This brush is awesome! So big, fluffy, and soft! Great value considering this is softer and more dense than a mac 150. All the real technique brushes are really lightweight and easy to hold on to. I've never seen mine shed at all, and they keep their shape after washing (to ensure this I hang all my brushes upside down to dry on the towel rack with a hair elastic). Perfect powder brush IMO.

This development has caused widespread discussion and concern. In late February, the French data protection regulator CNIL asked Google to delay implementation of the policy to allow more time for CNIL to analyse the implications, since it suspected that the policy may breach the EU Data Protection Directive. However, Google has not delayed the new policy.
Briony Williams, a security consultant at the information security company commissum, comments: "This development has far-reaching implications, because it changes the rules of the game after the fact. Users signed up to Google products under the privacy policies in force at the time, and built up their personal Internet presence partly using those products. With the new policy, the rules have been changed. Users no longer have the fine-grained control over personal data that they had before. For those who object, the only option is to withdraw completely. If Google were selling consumer goods, this would matter less. But Google's stock-in-trade is actually personal data, which enables it to sell advertising to other companies. This business model makes it all the more important for Google to take seriously the concerns raised by official bodies and users, since at present there is no commercial motivation for Google to restrict its use of personal data. This means that the privacy policy is the user's only protection. Hence the policy needs to be subjected to detailed analysis over a longer period than has been possible so far, which makes it disappointing that Google has allegedly chosen to ignore CNIL's request for a delay."

Stoddart, Simon, Malone, Caroline, Antiquity
As we review the question of deep time with the assistance of leading scholars in the field, we also consider the question of enduring values. We write while accountants write off short-term expenditure against long-term balance sheets. We write as economic analysts try to assess whether short-term collapses of economic value on the stock exchange represent a long-term trend. And we write as the UK government announces its comprehensive spending review, explicitly advertised as an investment in the long-term values of education. Yet is that same government investing in the material culture of deep time? This is a society where the legs of some British footballers earn more in a week than the British Museum receives in a year to preserve objects of enduring value. The achievements of a footballer--and memories of those achievements--are ephemeral. The working half-life of a footballer's femur, even when expensively calibrated, is only 7.5 years. The football stadium may survive, but it requires a chance graffito at Pompeii to preserve the short-lived fame of a gladiator, the pre-industrial footballer. One can argue that tenuous fame is rewarded by monetary reward, but should the material achievement of humanity be measured in monetary terms? At the very least, the stadia of human achievement and their associated material culture deserve proper finance for their preservation and understanding, even if the ephemeral actors fade into distant memory in spite of all the best intentions of agency theory.
It is museums that are the guardians of the material culture of deep time. A negative trend appears to be affecting the investment in and integrity of these museums, not just in Britain, but on a wider international stage. Privatization and political manipulation are affecting museums in France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Spain and the United States. Each of these contexts has a particular history which provides a different nuance, but there is a common tendency to under-value the continuity of the history and encompassing expertise that is intrinsic in each collection. Although we interviewed the strikers on the steps of the Musee de l'Homme in December 2001, we can report with greater knowledge about the situation in the British Museum.
The British Museum has been much in the news of late. We reported optimistically on the opening of the new Great Court in March 2001, and described the plans that the museum was developing for its next phase of developments.
