This library item is related to the following area(s) of work:Software Product Lines
This article was originally published in News at SEI on: September 1, 1999
By definition, legacy systems are resistant to change. Although legacy systems vary in their individual features, they all share several characteristics. They are old (10–25 years) and large (100 KLOC–1 MLOC). Such age and size typically means the system is poorly structured, often due to traumatic maintenance over its lifetime. This contributes to a poor understanding of the system's essential functionality, a situation that is exacerbated by personnel turnover: each developer is forced to relearn aspects of the system that previous developers spent significant time and effort to recover. Nevertheless, legacy systems represent substantial corporate knowledge and cannot simply be discarded and rebuilt with a "green field" development effort. Instead of viewing legacy systems as liabilities that are difficult to understand and hence difficult to evolve, a better approach is to turn them into valuable corporate assets. Product lines offer the ability to leverage existing assets to provide a significant return on investment over the long term. This can be accomplished by providing the infrastructure for the strategic reuse of corporate assets, such as mission-critical systems and associated business rules. This process is illustrated in the following figure.
Migrating legacy systems to product lines can be accomplished using a three-step process. The first step is to decompose the legacy system into separate functional units. The second step is to develop these extracted artifacts into components using distributed object technology. The third step is to deploy the new components as core assets, making them available to the product line. The result of the migration process is a three-tiered set of interacting components, as illustrated in Figure 2. Each component may reside on a client or a server, or it may migrate between them (in effect, serving multiple roles simultaneously). Data can also be made similarly mobile. These components can provide the basis for a product line as the software continues to evolve to meet changing business requirements.
The first step in the migration process is to decompose the legacy system into separate functional units. This can be accomplished using two variants of system-understanding technology. The first variant is a white-box approach that relies on traditional program understanding. This is typically done using a reverse- engineering tool that parses the legacy system's source code, populates a repository with the data it gathers, and performs analysis on this data to aid the user in understanding the system. The second variant is a black-box approach that uses newer methods to understand the system. These methods can include binary reverse engineering, interface analysis, and behavioral probing. The black-box approach is used when the source code to the legacy system is not available for white-box analysis. The result of this procedure is the first tier of the new product-line infrastructure. At this point, the artifacts can be considered to be virtual components. They represent essential functional artifacts of the legacy system, but are not yet in a format suitable for use as a true component in the software engineering sense.
The second step in the migration process is to develop the product line's core assets from the artifacts extracted from the legacy system in the first step. This is done by wrapping the virtual components with object interfaces. This results in true components that become available for use in the third step of the migration process. Wrapping the virtual components can be accomplished using distributed object technology as middleware. There are several different middleware offerings to choose from for this task. One of the most popular is the Object Management Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). Microsoft is a proponent of the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and related technologies under the COM+ rubric. Sun Microsystems espouses an approach relying on Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), possibly augmented with its Jini networked-appliance enabling technologies. The result of this second step is the middle tier of the new product-line infrastructure. The new business artifacts are encapsulated with object interfaces, turning them into core assets and making them available to the third tier. The final step is to deploy the assets.
The third step in the migration process is to deploy the core assets using the network infrastructure. The core assets are accessed by product-line developers, who in turn use the assets to construct variant product instances. The result of this third step is the final tier of the new product-line infrastructure. By deploying the core assets across a network, client applications can access and browse the collection of core assets. This facilitates the strategic reuse of business-critical core assets, which has two benefits. The first benefit is the ability to leverage existing capabilities—in other words, to convert legacy liabilities into valuable product-line assets. The second benefit is the ability to compose new functionality from the newly mined business objects. Because the virtual components that were mined from the legacy system in the first step of the process have been given object-oriented interfaces in the second step of the process, the resultant artifacts can be combined to provide functionality that would have required significant writing of new code in a non-product-line approach. This composition of assets into new functionality facilitates the evolution of the legacy system to meet new requirements in a disciplined and cost-effective manner.
Today's newly developed system is tomorrow's legacy system. As such, legacy systems will always be with us, and will remain vitally important for the foreseeable future. The key to successfully adopting a product-line approach to software engineering is converting existing legacy systems from liabilities into assets. This can be accomplished using the three-step process described above. In essence, net-centric computing provides the same application and asset portability to the client that distributed object technology provides to the server. The result is a flexible deployment infrastructure for core assets of the product line. The three-tiered architecture can be used by both end-users of the derived products, and by developers who rely on the core assets to construct instances of the product line. The net effects of product lines are that they make software engineering more akin to a manufacturing process, with predictable attributes such as cost, schedule, and quality. The key is the strategic reuse of corporate assets—assets that are usually considered liabilities. Product lines promise to pervade software engineering in the new millennium, resulting in the development of better products in shorter time at lower cost. Underlying the success of product lines is the infrastructure provided by net-centric computing for migrating legacy systems from stove-piped systems to deployed core assets.

The $39,330 Sportwagon is equipped with a standard 3.0L, 6-cylinder, engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. an Automatic transmission is standard.
View a nice collection of Jaguar X-Type pictures online at Autobytel. Sample some Jaguar X-Type photos for the newest model being sold in America. You can also view pics of vehicles produced in the last couple of years. The Autobytel website has so much more to offer than just Jaguar X-Type pics. Find cars for sale, see the various trim levels, and get fuel economy figures. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is all available online at the Autobytel site for free.
Finding Jaguar X-Type photos is an easy affair. From any page on the website you can choose to see Jaguar X-Type pictures from the main menu. If you are unsure as to which vehicle is right for you, go ahead and take a look at the various automobiles listed on Autobytel.com. Find tons of data on the last couple of model years sold in the U.S. for every make! Select a the kind of car or asking price. You can also pick a manufacturer. Once you land on a vehicle information page, there will be a place to view Jaguar X-Type pictures.
Autobytel houses a huge assortment of Jaguar X-Type pics. One kind of Jaguar X-Type pictures are those created by the car company themselves. These are professional images that are taken in a controlled environment with a blank background. Jaguar X-Type photos are comprised of interior, exterior, and engine shots. Usually the images are accessible to anyone. They are also the highest quality images since there is a very high likelihood that these Jaguar X-Type pics will be used in advertising campaigns across the country.
Another kind of Jaguar X-Type pictures are those from auto shows. This is a great way for a business to get the word out and incite some emotion in the car buying audience. Practically anyone with a camera can produce Jaguar X-Type photos from auto shows. These images are then circulated throughout the automotive industry and some make their way onto the Autobytel website.
The last type of Jaguar X-Type pictures are called spy shots. We get spy shots when an automobile company is analyzing the driving ability of a car. Every major car maker has to assess how their vehicles drive in an urban environment. Some people make a career of capturing Jaguar X-Type pics during the testing phase. There is a nice market for those who can successfully capture these pre-release photos.
Take advantage of all the tools available at the Autobytel site. The enormous database of Jaguar X-Type photos is free to use. Browse through vehicles until you find one that is attractive. You can also get a free price quote, find the invoice price, see features, and more at Autobytel.com.

We had talked about this before, but now the movement toward plastic inquisition seems to be gaining ground and getting more attention than it had previously. Before, it was really mostly a word of mouth concern that not everyone had heard about (I myself had heard it in passing a few times, but honestly didn't give it a lot of thought until about two years ago when I did a little research online and my sister told me her chemistry teacher told her there is absolute validity to the concerns of plastic drinking bottles), and most peope like me probably heard it and forgot about it.
The concerns is over more specifically, plastic drinking and baby bottles that are made to be shatterproof, and many times the plastic lining on cups that contain a chemical called bisphenol. Research was recently completed that showed that mice, when injected with repeated low doses of the chemical found in our plastic drinking bottles (yes, that includes those bottled waters you may or may not drink), bisphenol, ended up having hormonal problems, urinary tract complications, precancerous tumors, and early puberty.
All of these problems are a huge concern, especially because hormones can many times be a contributor to cancer growth, and their balance is many times crucial to keep cells functioning normally. The early puberty and precancerous tumor growth from low (albeit repeated) doses of bisphenol is defiintely concerning, however plastic companies are quick to point out that the study's author is fast to say that this should not cause over concern quite yet, but they are also calling on further research and testing on humans to determine how detrimental this plastic and chemical could be to human health, and what possible long term effects could be.
Personally, I made the switch over to either glass or stainless steal drinking bottles for my car since I keep water in my car at all times, I am currently using an environmentally safe and body-safe stainless steal bottle by New Wave Enviro. They last forever, you don't have to waste plastic and throw it away or recycle it, and you get just good tasting, fresh water with each drink since there are no chemicals leeched as there are with plastics.
I notice my water is taste-free whereas with plastic, it always had a funny taste to it, especially if it sat all day in the car, which unfortunately means it just leeched more chemicals (especially in heat), and I was imbibing more chemicals for all those years. I guess I'm just thankful I know now what to use.

i would have asked "what is your view about photos of nudity--depictions of real breasts and real bodies?"
also, "does thailand have an obsession about not showing women's breasts in public, too?"
Thanks for the comments. Maybe I can ask you if you think Thailand has a problem with this issue. I am not sure if it boils down Pinaree's art and life into too simplistic a comparison. I don't think her work is about censorship. But it is about openness and making what is private more shared.

While the movement/combat controls were kind of nice (point>click>sleep...what's easier than that?), and the aesthetic was okay, those are the only good points I can find about the game.
While the movement/combat controls were kind of nice (point>click>sleep...what's easier than that?), and the aesthetic was okay, those are the only good points I can find about the game. \r\n\r\nThe game itself is boring, repetitive, and confusing. The tutorial, when it does tell you how to play, often reference HUD items that either don't exist, or are outside of the game entirely. While I applaud not being spoon-fed, I would have appreciated a tutorial that actually, you know, teaches you how to play.\r\n\r\nThe monetization is over the top and is more than a little "pay-to-win". Forgetting about the pop-up advertising premium accounts that literally took up almost a third of the screen (I kid you not), those who purchase one have literally every advantage over those who play for free. \r\n\r\nWhile I fully understand that there's no such thing as a free lunch, that someone has to pay for the servers, and there needs to be some incentive to do so, literally punishing players with a 10 minute "repair" timer after dieing, versus 2 for paid players, is draconian at best.\r\n\r\nI've heard complaints from others here on AG about being hunted down and blasted to bits by higher-level players, but I didn't last even that long before quitting the game.\r\n\r\nMy suggestion:\r\n\r\nAvoid this like the plague.

Antarctic sea ice extent set a new record high for daily extent on September 22, 2014. Climate scientists suspect the new record is linked to strong winds and melting ice shelves.
Natural variability can explain much of Earth's average temperature variation since the end of the last ice age, but over the past century, global average temperature has risen from near the coldest to the warmest levels in the past 11,300 years.
Flash floods scoured Phoenix and surrounding areas on September 8, 2014. How did the rainfall totals compare to normal September precipitation?
Earth's hottest periods occurred before humans existed. Those ancient climates would have been like nothing our species has ever seen.
Ocean waves slowly eat away coastal cliffs the world over, but in parts of Alaska, these processes have accelerated due to changing climate. These photos document a cliff collapse near Drew Point in the late 2000s.
Variability in snowpack across the mountain ranges of the U.S. West at the start of the warm season can translate into big differences in fire risk and summer water stress.
The Arkansas Valley is enduring the driest continuous period in Colorado's history of recorded data, recalling conditions the state's southeastern plains experienced during the Dust Bowl.
How much sunlight Earth reflects naturally varies a lot. The bigger the range of natural variability, the greater the odds that any evidence of a manmade effort to brighten up the planet would be lost in the "background noise."
The historic rainfall that flooded the Colorado Front Range in September 2013 did little to dampen drought in the state's southeastern plains.
Most of the Arctic boundary waters were warmer than average in summer 2013, but a few cool pockets appeared in the western Arctic and the Greenland Sea. Warmer waters are drawing new species from lower latitudes into the Arctic.

Here's the newest tin pond going up on eBay tonight.
This one has a natural sand substrate, natural stones, moss for underwater plants, a small flower, handmade lily pads, two koi fish (one orange and white, one yellow and white), and two turtles (one swimming, one hiding in its shell on the rock).
I love the little turtles in this one. Especially the one in the water.
- All koi, turtles, and lily pads were handmade from polymer clay.
- The substrate is sand. The plants are moss.
- The water is a clear resin.
- The pond is in a large Altoids tin.
- This pond is up for auction now. Bidding starts at $40.
- All of my large ponds are truly one of a kind since I never duplicate them.
- My commissions are closed at the moment, so this is the only way to get a pond if you want one now!
Oh my! How beautiful and extraordinary ~ what detail Flawless job!
did you bake the tin? would that mess up the metal? sorry for all the pokey questions... OvO i just love your work!
I really love the turtles in this one
woooa!!! this is super cute!!!
Cute ^^
Ah! You're killing me with this! It's so cute, but I am not able to bid or buy anything, if I could, yeah, I'd bid. I love turtles! This is beautiful! Truly a master piece.
lol this is cool :3
OMGAH! I love the TURTLES!!
Adorable! A very creative way to reuse an old Altoids box.
All we need now is a mini jungle.
that is awesome!
It´s very beautiful thing!
Laughing at the comment/ question below....Is this really healthy for them...Lol...this is such a cool thing u got goin there. That was a Fantastic idea and like the reference to the fact that something such as this can be carried round as a charm....a WORLD of ideas you opened a can of there!!!! SO AWESOME
Little turtles!!! 8-D
is that healthy for them?
oh my god this is genius!
This is amazing. I love tin boxes and I love ponds! Two of my favorite things in one! Such eye candy <3

that's so cute~~
Cool. A universe in your hand
Awww how cute!!
This is so cool! The little turtles and koi are absolutely adorable. And the water is solid so it doesn't spill, right? Really creative. If I wasn't broke at the moment I'd totally buy it.
That is really cool.
are those living?!?! it's so realistic
you used resin for the water right?
You are amazing
its amazing!
So cute!?!
D'aww, this is so cute! If I had one, I'd carry it around in my pocket all day!
o.o I want it...
I really love these little "ponds" you make.
this is great. omg
oh my gosh that is soooo cool!
It's a very detailed pond, Good job!
this looks really great! I love your ponds~ ;w; they're so cute and pretty and create a really nice athmosphere :3
But I think when working on the kois, you should probably make the fins less round and a little more see through, to make them more realistic :3

A Haunted History Lesson
Most spooked spaces only teach you the basics: guys emerging from shadows have scandalous motives, chainsaws are a buzz-kill, and cackling isnt limited to folks with deviated septums. So take advantage of a different kind of haunted house during the historic Stranahan Houses educational ghost tours. Docents donning Victorian mourning garb lead you on a twisted, factual (at least partially) recreation of the propertys macabre lineage, giving you a chance to see this century-old museum in a new spookier light. But beware, the ghost of Frank Stranahan has unfinished business to settle before his soul finds solace in the soil. Tours run every Friday and Saturday in October at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20. Reservations are required, call 954-524-4736.
Fridays, Saturdays. Starts: Oct. 5. Continues through Oct. 27, 2007

I can't build my project.
I created a new CDT project in Eclipse Helios and told it to use existing source and makefile -- both, of which, appear correctly in the Package and Project views. The "Project" menu has both "Build All" and "Build Project" grayed-out, however, so it's impossible to build the project. "Build Automatically" is unchecked. During project creation, I told the wizard to use the Linux gcc(1) toolchain. I've been unable to find anything under Project->Properties or Window->Preferences that enables the "Build Project" feature. The Window->Preferences->Build display shows only one tab labeled "Error Parsers".
How can I enable the "Build Project" command?

MASSINGALE: I agree with Jonathan when he said something to the effect of, "We don't have a bed problem; we have a doctors-getting-patients-discharged problem." In many cases, there are a lot of patients who could leave the hospital if they could be discharged by somebody—the hospitalist or their primary attending physician. Where we have a hospitalist program, we're calling the hospitalist in on essentially all the medical patients, with a few exceptions. In a few of our hospitals, our hospitalists admit everybody except the cases going straight to surgery for trauma. If you're in a situation where you've concentrated all admissions into the hands of two hospitalists, for instance, that can be a bottleneck that needs correcting.
HEALTHLEADERS: Are the rest of you seeing the same sorts of problems with getting patients admitted even if you have space?
HUNT: We also face the challenge that essentially the entire volume of medical admissions has been concentrated on the backs of just the hospitalists. Some of the hospitalists are good about sorting through this load, but others struggle. I don't think dealing with mass triage is part of the typical internist's training. It is part of the ED physician training to deal with the truckload of patients just emptied into your waiting room at once. You can't see one patient and follow it to the end before going on to the next one. I think there is a different mind-set between the two specialties, and sometimes that causes friction.
DAVIS: One of the reasons we opened an express admission unit was to assist community physicians with direct admits, bypassing the ER and reducing the number of patients holding in the ER. The job of our EAU staff is to go to the ER and "pull" patients out of the ER. There shouldn't be a "push" effect because the ER physician and the staff are dealing with multiple patients and the last thing they need is patients holding in the ER. Additionally, if the ER physician knows a patient needs to be admitted, the hospitalist takes the patient and gets him or her admitted. That's teamwork, where everybody's successful together, not one at the expense of the other.
MASSINGALE: In hospitals where we have both ER docs and hospitalists, we have implemented aligned incentives. The ultimate goal is to transition patients from the ER to the floor more quickly, and so both parties are incentivized to work together to make this happen. A few cross-incentives that we have not yet implemented, but I think would be instructive, would be to provide a financial incentive for the hospitalist if the ER docs hit their left-without-being-seen and door-to-doc metrics. Likewise, you could incentivize the ER docs if the hospitalists hit their metrics through core measures—things like hospital length of stay and reduced readmissions.
WHITE: When I first came here, the hospitalist program was in its infancy. What was happening was that the ER docs were writing very comprehensive admission orders and actually were doing some chart reviews. A few times, only two orders were written past the ER admission orders because the ER docs were writing such comprehensive orders. That's great in a sense, but it's also bad. We've modified that considerably.
HUNT: Even before we consolidated, part of our volume strategy was moving patients who were waiting to be seen by hospitalists out of the emergency department into an admission unit. We also use that unit to place patients who have been directly admitted from an office or regional transfer if no inpatient bed is available. One of the unforeseen consequences has been that while we may get the patients out of the emergency department into an admit unit, it has created a buffer for the admitting physicians, resulting in even longer delays getting the patients into an inpatient bed. The patients are still backing up in the ED because the admit units are now overflowing with patients. It may just be an expensive solution to what is really a physician manpower or workflow problem.
DAVIS: Part of our challenge was when we looked at the process, we had our admit nurses floating throughout the house. It was disorganized. To further exacerbate the issue, at discharge time a floor nurse would have five patients. Three of those were being discharged, the ER would be sending up three more, and now the floor nurse might have eight patients. And they're doing paperwork on six of the eight. We took the admit nurses and moved them up to a designated admissions unit so they could own the entire admit process. We took much of the discharge process away from the floor nurses so they could provide care to patients.
MASSINGALE: There are very few cookie-cutter answers to this and people are out there selling some cookie-cutter solutions. It really takes hard work on an individual basis coupled with a lot of creativity and a lot of interim solutions. You have to live with some of that. There's no substitute for leadership. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of leadership.
DAVIS: I felt our patient access team was not an acute fix to the ER's problems. It's a permanent team championing organizational throughput. We initially met once a month, now quarterly.
HEALTHLEADERS: Let's talk about the teamwork aspect of this work. All of these folks have to work together for the ultimate goal, which is to move that patient through in the most efficient manner possible. Are there ways to foster that kind of teamwork?
DAVIS: You can't just write an algorithm to it. The way I started it was to say, "I trust you with the patients who come here. I trust you to take care for our community and I trust that you are excellent providers." They need to hear that. Sometimes we as leaders get caught up in addressing the negative. That's the easiest part. It's important for us as leaders to pass along the compliments and celebrate the rewards, changes, outcomes, and all the wonderful patient experiences.
MASSINGALE: Good teamwork starts with selecting good people. There are some people who either aren't trustworthy or aren't going to engender trusting feelings, and it's important to figure that out in the interview and hiring process and take your time with your selection. People who are unable to engender trustworthiness or provide positive feedback are really hard to build a team around, especially if they're in a leadership role. We've invested in a lot of medical director training at TeamHealth because the medical directors are the linchpins. It's critical that we provide them with total support in order to ensure a successful relationship with our hospital partners.
HEALTHLEADERS: Technology is often a huge part of reengineering and making emergency departments more efficient. Often the ER is the first place hospitals introduce new technology. Is technology helping or hurting ED efficiency?

I take 1/4 of a tablespoon.
I read one of your posts in which you use gluten enzyme blockers to help with acne? Can you please elaborate and give me details on how it works? I'm experimenting with a whole bunch of things as well.
Please tell me your experience.
I have been taking it for over a week now, in the mornings mixed in green juice before I eat breakfast. So far, I noticed less bloating and fewer reactions to food, although I'm sure the digestive enzymes I'm also taking help. I haven't noticed any breakouts from it, but for me it usually takes 2+ weeks for my skin to show a reaction if something is bothering me.
L-glutamine - how to take?
WishClean posted a topic in Diet & holistic healthHi everyone, Has anyone had success with l-glutamine? I would like to address my leaky gut, and my naturopath recommended Designs for Health - L-Glutamine Powder 250 gms. Has anyone tried it, or other glutamine supplements? I'm not sure whether it's best to take it on an empty stomach or after a meal, and there are no specific directions on the box.

WishClean replied to Ponyo23's topic in Hormonal acneI suggest you browse through this forum for alternatives. Plenty of options, despite what your doctor says - they just know about very limited treatments that involve medication.

Came off the pill, now hormonal acne all the time!
WishClean replied to TitanicFiber's topic in Hormonal acneIt's normal to break out after going off the pill. That's because your body doesn't know how to balance itself naturally without synthetic hormones. You have to give it some time. What helped me bounce back when I went off birthcontrol years ago was evening primrose oil combined with agnus castus/ chaste berry (which happens to be a fertility herb too). Visit a good integrative doctor or naturopath or acupuncturist for advice.

Help With Dim
WishClean replied to brenmc's topic in Hormonal acneYou are overdoing it. NO amount of liver support is going to help you if you are taking so many supplements. I would first remove maca, green tea, and ashwagadha, and then slowly remove more depending on how you feel. Your body is probably overloaded right now, so no wonder you are breaking out. Some of the supplements you are taking have been known to cause acne in many females, like maca and green tea.

NO GREEN TEA!!!! Green tea's impact on testosterone levels is controversial. In my case, when I was drinking a lot of green tea daily, my skin was at its worst. Switch to roiboos instead, much better for your skin and it doesn't impact hormones. SInce you know you have iron deficiency, try to address that through your diet and ditch the green tea.

Is it safe to take Lymecycline and accutane together?
WishClean replied to Dayv's topic in Prescription acne medicationsI only approved this post to let you and everyone else know the dangers of buying accutane and other prescription drugs online, without medical supervision. Why are you seeing a doctor but also ordering accutane online? I would assume if you are seeing a doctor, you would ask them these questions rather than post on the forum for random people to give you advice. Use common sense.
I was going to move this thread to the Hormonal Acne forum, but people here can probably offer more useful advice that is not of the type "go on birth control, take antibiotics, etc." I recommend sharing some photos of what your acne looks like - we can give more specific feedback based on what it looks like and how inflammed it is. Sometimes people moan about 1-2 zits, and they get recommendations for heavy-duty treatments that are not necessary. So, I advice posting a couple of photos.

Vitamin D and acne
WishClean replied to maxam's topic in General acne discussionTry one thing at a time to see what works. Don't try to take too many supplements at once, especially if you suspect you have digestive issues/ liver problems. When taking vitamin D, start with a LOW dose and work your way up to the recommended %. Again, don't overdo it.

Bad Acne
WishClean replied to DearDashing's topic in General acne discussionFirst of all, don't let it get you down. You are way too young to even be considering birth control - it will mess up your hormones especially at such a crucial developmental stage. Don't do it. Second, some of your acne seems like folliculitis, not typical acne. I would recommend first of all going to a better dermatologist to get a proposer diagnosis. If it's folliculitis, it's a fungal, not bacterial infection, and each are treated differently, both topically and internally. Third, you need to clear up the infections otherwise it will spread - regardless of whether you take anything or not. An infection spreads. Go to a good aesthetician and get some extractions and gentle calming masks, like aloe vera masks. Also try high frequency facials to disinfect your skin. Fourth, get your hormones tested, and also get tested for food intolerances AND allergies (not the same thing). I think you are too young to be having hormonal issues. This could be an infection or allergic reaction. Fifth, it doesn't hurt to remove these from your daily life: SLS (any cleanser with sodium laureth sulfate or any type of sulfates), if the water quality in your area is bad try to use filtered or bottled water to wash your face (try it for at least a week consistently to see if it makes a difference), switch to a hypoallergenic laundry detergent and try not to put your face directly on the pillow at night (keep your face as uncovered as possible/ sleep on your back). Try these and report back in a couple of weeks.
How to improve this type of acne? (photos)
WishClean replied to Tangled's topic in Hormonal acneI just want to remind everyone not to start progesterone creams on their own. I briefly experimented with a yam-based progesterone boosting cream (with no actual progesterone in it), but any type of progesterone cream -- natural or not -- should not be recommended without the supervision of a doctor specializing in bioidentical hormone treatments (watch out - there are many fakes in this regard, do your research carefully when selecting a bio doctor). Main reason for the supervision is that the wrong dose of progesterone, like the wrong dose of estrogen therapy, can trigger certain forms of cancer. That's why bioidentical hormone treatments require regular hormonal testing. Just a warning.
Going off the pill acne
WishClean replied to Jennifer Cheung's topic in Hormonal acneIt really disgusts me that your doctor only gave you 2 options for acne. I am one of the many women who decided to go off birthcontrol and anti-biotics etc, and I started doing my own research. And guess what,my skin cleared and my body is now healthier because I don't put that synthetic crap in my body. First of all, you mentioned that your mild acne was caused by Plan B, right? Plan B contains a strong mix of hormones, so your acne could just be temporary until plan B's effects wear off (it could take a while - read Racingheartz posts for recovering from plan b-related acne). The first step would be to go get your hormones checked, preferably at an integrative or alternative doctor. You are in Hong Kong, with access to some of the best acupuncturists and alternative doctors in the world, so why not take advantage of that? It seems to me, though, that you overreacted to mild acne induced by plan B (artificial hormones), and jumped on the birth control bandwagon WITHOUT even needing it (unless of course you were also taking it for birth control, NOT hormonal acne). My guess is that the combination of synthetic hormones has messed up your cycle.
Food That Causes Acne
WishClean replied to AJM00001's topic in Diet & holistic healthA tip that works for me when it comes to sweets: switch dark/ milk chocolate for white chocolate. I believe it's the cocoa that makes all the difference. Somehow, cocoa BUTTER doesn't bother me, but cocoa does.

Is "on" and "into" correct?
When Moses went up on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments, they fell back into idol worship.
Should this be:
Moses went up to Mount Sinai ......
Note: Moses went to the top of the mountain and received the Ten Commandments.
1 answer
I would use 'on' or 'onto', Susan. 'To' would imply that he just went to the base of the mountain.
'Into' would work here.

Gary Cherone
Tribe of Judah
begins the sonic assault of their debut disc,
Exit Elvis
, with "Left for Dead," a techno-rock splash of elaborate guitar, keys, and melody. It sounds like a plea, the incessant "somebody" hook repeating over the churning music. This is powerful stuff, with

Van Halen

the creative freedom to come up with something like this on the platform provided by that veteran rock band? There's no doubt it would have launched quickly, enhancing that group's image and bringing them another -- much needed -- new dimension to the

brought to her song "Second Wind" on the aforementioned

one of the better songs, but, again, has to deal with the fact that many of the production techniques were employed on earlier numbers. "My Utopia" has rhythmic textures with the singer going neo-rap, with a vocal that sounds not unlike labelmate

's 1980 hit "Clones (We're All)." The title track gets the nod along with the opener, "Left for Dead," as the CD's two biggest moments. "Exit Elvis" has that acoustic/jazz cabaret sound opening the tune, something that needed to come earlier on this project. It's a concept piece, featuring the great line, "a contradiction in canvas," which this album is. If only there were more moments like this song earlier in the proceedings.

Volume 34, Number 1, April 2010
pp. 82-94 | 10.1353/phl.0.0071
Thomas Hardy is notorious for driving his characters into the grave with untimely chance and luck. This essay interprets his idiosyncrasy as an exploration of the problem of "moral luck" to confront the reader with fundamental ethical questions. My examination of four cases of moral luck in Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd and The Return of the Native shows that they produce different effects in the two novels and invite different ethical response due to genre differences; and embracing both versions of ethical experience will help the reader understand the nature of moral luck and moral judgment.

Liaisons Fueling AIDS in Africa
Byline: Edward C. Green, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Teenage girls are at the very center of one of the most heartbreaking scenarios now playing out in many parts of Africa. Young girls have up to 6 times the rate of HIV infection as boys of comparable ages. In parts of eastern and southern Africa, more than one-third of teenage girls carry the virus.
As deeply troubling is the way they are becoming infected - through what AIDS experts call "cross-generational sex." Older, typically married, men seek young girls for sex in the belief that the younger they are, the less likely they are to carry the HIV virus.
Having a young girlfriend has come to be a sport, a way to gain status among men. Cross-generational sex has become a new cultural norm in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and not just because of one-time seductions or coercions. Sometimes it is the girls who seek the "sugar daddies," who reward girls with clothes, school tuition, food or small gifts.
One of many problems with this is that the younger the female, the more biologically vulnerable to HIV infection she may be. This seems to be due in part to the delicacy of the vaginal lining in immature females. Tiny tears and lesions occur during intercourse, especially if male partners are full adults and/or intercourse is coerced or forced.
Young girls are not only more likely to be HIV-infected, they are also more likely to infect others, in part because they are likely to be recently infected, meaning they will have higher "viral loads" and will be shedding viruses. Their partners then pass the virus on to their wives and perhaps future children.
Therefore, any action that protects girls from infection will pay great lifesaving dividends in the broader population.
It's past time for our government leaders to get involved. The cross-generational sex issue cuts across the politics of morality that color the current highly polarized debate on how best to combat AIDS in Africa. Both faith-based organizations and others who champion abstinence programs, and organizations well-known for condom marketing like Population Services International, are in fact equally outraged by and concerned about these dangerous relationships and their tragic consequences.
President Bush's global AIDS initiative will finally make antiretroviral drugs available in the countries targeted by this initiative (all but two are in Africa). But there still needs to be major emphasis on AIDS prevention, since many more lives will be saved through effective prevention than through treatment. Yet there cannot be effective prevention if we continue to tiptoe around sexual behavior and simply rely on risk reduction technologies.
We urge the Bush administration to include the prevention of cross-generational sex as a central component of its AIDS efforts, no matter how uncomfortable the idea makes some people. …

lightweight and aero but tight
These covers are lightweight and aerodynamic. I wear a size 12 shoe and these one-size-fits-all are a bit tight, especially around the cleat. Maybe Pearl should have provided some additional sizes (S,M,L) with this product.
cool, but not in the cold
i got some of these a few days ago here in Denver. while they are sleek looking and overall fun to wear, they don't provide much wind/cold protection in my opinion. it has been in the upper 40's the last few days and my feet are still cold when i arrive at my destination after about a 30 minute ride

Airgun Reporter: Crosman/Remington Nitro Piston Short Stroke Air Rifle
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Mike M: Hey, old school here. I bought the Remington NPSS .22 with the Center Point scope from you guys about 3 years ago to shoot bothersome squirrels eating all my wife's flowers and veggies... I hate the scope and decided to remove it only to realize it has NO sites. Can it be modified? There is something on the top rear of barrel that looks like it can be screwed out for a site, but not sure... thanks
callofdutyguy9: Is this gun supposed to be quiet. Still seems kind of loud, not super loud but average like a 2260 co2 rifle. My gun is the new Benjamin NPS, the same gun as the crosman/Remington NPSS just rebranded. It has less than 100 shots through it.
Enrique Pabalate: How's about showing us the proper way to adjust the trigger
axelcharles: Had bad experience with the remington nitro pisto,,barrel came loose and even after being changed accuracy was really bad...with any pellet!. Believe that nitro piston not as accurate as expected... I totally loose confidence on Nitros
Dan Paul: roostering effort
I would suggest putting the butt of the rifle on the scale, not the muzzle.
pyramydair: TKGBaller23 - I would choose the Crosman Vantage if you are looking to do some small game hunting at any point. The Beeman Panther is only good for plinking/fun.
mark long: squirrels evolve into apes, stop eating in tree of life
mark long: a strings a spring, don't shim it
cody brooks: 22 people don't like guns
Russo Antonio: come tradurre in italiano ?
Large Whitemanmeat: These ARE real guns. Unlike the gun you shoot like a "real man" watching internet porn.
Large Whitemanmeat: You are watching a video, the sound is not going to be the same as live.
Large Whitemanmeat: YOU WILL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!!!
Evan Green: Then you have something with your gun
Mikecelic07: ok...I have the same gun and mine does not sound like that, yours is much quieter, yours sounds like "PFFF", mine sounds like a "BAMM!" and then the "plink" from the target, any ideas?
Elinor Lipschitz: .177 vs .22 ???
pyramydair: The life of a nitro piston really depends on the gun and how it's handled. I have seem some go 10,000 + shots, and others 600. It is also the same in regards to spring airguns. If you get a quality gun of either, it will last a long time. Thanks, Pyramyd Air Team
Taylor Kuhn: Shoot a real gun like aman
Olivier van Weede: Could you please do a review of the Wather 1250 dominator?
WisherSurferGirl: Also, with the super telescopes we have now, why doesn't someone simply zero in on the Sea of Tranquility, to the old buggy we left there, and publish the pictures. That alone would stop all the talk about a fake landing. But, no one has done this. Why?

|Ikeda Aya
Ikeda Aya (池田彩 Ikeda Aya?) is a minor character in Heartcatch Pretty Cure!. She is a member of the light music club in school, together with Kudou Mayu. Her character is based on Ikeda Aya, singer of many theme songs within the Pretty Cure franchise.
In the anime, Aya has medium long bright brown hair, with short bangs and two longer strands framing her face. The rest of her hair is tied up into two high twin tails with small yellow hair ties. Her eyes are a bright shade of brown, and she has been seen only in the school's standard uniform for girls.
She and her friend Kudou Mayu have a strong stage fright and are unconfident about their singing skills and they tend to run away instead of singing in front of their schoolmates. However, they are able to overcome their stage fright.
Aya and Kudou Mayu are the singers of the light music club. They should have a live performance during the school festival, but both are too nervous and are afraid that the other students would laugh at them, so they run away. When the members of the fashion club convince them to step onto the stage, the stage fright overcomes the two girls again. Cobraja uses their stage fright, takes their heart flowers and transform their flowers into a Desertrian. After the girls get their heart flowers back, the fashion club and the light music club do together a fashion show with a concert. Aya and Mayu perform their song HEART GOES ON. In the final episodes, Aya and Mayu appear as ones of the survival people, whose heart flowers were saved by the Pretty Cure before.
- The real Ikeda Aya is a famous singer for performing many of the theme songs for the Pretty Cure franchise.
- The most notable songs include:
- Alright! Heartcatch Pretty Cure!
- 17 Jewels ~Pretty Cure Medley 2010~ with Kudou Mayu
- HEART GOES ON with Kudou Mayu
- Tomorrow Song ~Ashita no Uta~ (Background Chorus)
- Arigatou ga Ippai (as part of Cure Rainbows)
- Wonderful↑Powerful↑Music!!
- ♯Kibou Rainbow♯
- Let's go! Smile Pretty Cure!
- The most notable songs include:
- She is the third guest star in the Pretty Cure series, preceded by Miyamoto Kanako, Kudou Mayu and followed by the Fujiwara duo.

Elderly Lung Cancer Patients Can Gain From Two-Drug Chemo: StudyBy Alan Mozes
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Aug. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Countering conventional wisdom, researchers in France say that elderly lung cancer patients can gain significant benefit from an aggressive, double-barreled chemotherapy that's often used in younger patients.
The finding raises questions about standard public health recommendations, such as those issued the American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2004, which advised physicians not to expose elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to the undesirable side effects of combination chemotherapy.
Instead, older patients have typically been offered less harsh -- but also less effective -- chemotherapies containing a single agent. That's because, until now, it's been assumed that the benefits to elderly patients of dual-chemo ("doublet") regimens simply weren't worth their onerous side effects and risks.
But, "our study demonstrates clearly that [the doublet] scheme is feasible in elderly patients," study author Dr. Elisabeth Quoix, from the department of chest diseases at Hopitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg at the University of Strasbourg. She noted that survival rates among elderly patients, even among those over the age of 80, appeared comparable to those of younger patients on the dual-drug regimen.
The findings are reported online Aug. 9 in The Lancet.
As life expectancy increases, so does the risk for lung cancer, the leading cancer killer worldwide. As a result, studies show that lung cancer rates have been ramping up among the elderly, with patients in the developed world now averaging between 63 and 70 years of age at diagnosis.
According to Quoix, that means that "elderly patients represent around 50% of all patients with lung cancer." She also believes that "there has been for quite a long time such a nihilism toward this disease, especially for elderly patients, that unfortunately most of these patients are under-treated."
In fact, prior research indicates that, in recent years, as little as one-quarter of NSCLC patients over the age of 66 have gotten the same first-line standard of care as younger patients.
To learn more, between 2006 and 2009 Quoix' team recruited just over 450 NSCLC patients between the ages of 70 and 89. All of these patients were undergoing treatment at one of 61 different medical centers across France.
Half were placed on a dual-chemotherapy regimen involving the agents carboplatin and paclitaxel, which together comprise what doctors call "platinum-based doublet chemotherapy." The other half were placed on a single drug ("monotherapy") regimen involving either vinorelbine or gemcitabine.
Dual-regimens were spread across four weeks, while the single regimens were spaced over three weeks.
The researchers found that toxic side effects were indeed more common among those exposed to two chemotherapy agents at once. Yet over the course of 2.5 years of follow-up (on average), the team also found that survival rates were much higher among the dual-chemo group.
For example, elderly patients who were placed on the two-drug therapy survived more than 10 months on average, compared with just over 6 months for those getting the single therapy group.
What's more, nearly 45% of doublet patients survived to the one-year mark post-treatment, compared with about 25% of those in the single-chemo group.
The authors concluded that -- harsher toxic side-effects notwithstanding -- double-chemo treatment appears to afford elderly lung cancer appreciable and worthwhile benefits. They therefore called for a reconsideration of current protocols for lung cancer treatment among the elderly.
However, in an editorial, Dr. Karen L Reckamp, from the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif., said that there have been too few clinical trials involving older men and women with lung cancer. That means that the "optimum chemotherapy regimen remains unknown" for elderly lung cancer patients, she wrote.
"Clinical trials that examine therapy for lung cancer usually include a minority of patients over 70, so that results do not provide guidance on the best treatment for this group," Reckamp explained.
But she agreed that the new French study "moves the field forward" by highlighting the apparent "dramatic improvement in survival" among elderly afforded dual-chemo treatment.
"This strongly supports doublet chemotherapy in carefully selected older individuals with NSCLC," Reckamp said. However, "the results must be balanced by a look at the increased toxicities and deaths in the combination arm. We are still in need of addition studies that evaluate older individuals with NSCLC and perform an assessment so that we might predict those who may have greater benefit or who might be at greater risk for toxicity."
