The Soubirous family lived in the far north of the little town of Lourdes, in the Lapaca district. A large stream flowed there, and on this stream there were seven mills; one of them known as the Boly Mill, and this had been the residence of the Soubirous. Francois Soubirous leased the mill from relatives of his wife, Louise. In many ways, it was the trade of the miller that had brought the couple together. They had married on the parish church on 9th January 1843.
By 1855, the family income had decreased drastically - trade was not good at the mill, and the Soubirous were not the best of business people; often filled with pity for the poor of the local people, they would tell their customers to pay when they were able to, and they never refused credit. And of course there was the family to raise, which further drained their resources.
No longer being able to pay for the rent of the mill, the Soubirous were forced to quit their dwellings, give up the millers trade and take on whatever work they could find for themselves. Francois Soubirous recalled that another relative owned a building in the Rue des Petits Fossés - this building was the former Lourdes jail. The old jail was locally known as 'the Cachot'. The Soubirous were allowed to remain there rent-free.
Each evening, the family gathered around the old fireplace for family prayers. This concluded with the recitation of the Rosary - often led by one of the Soubirous girls, Bernadette.
The marriage of Francois Soubirous and Louise Casterot produced six children. The eldest of these was Bernadette.
She was born on 7th January 1844, and was baptized the next day by Abbé Forgues in the old parish church, being given the name of Marie Bernarde. Because of her small stature, she was always referred to by the diminutive form of the name, Bernadette.
Six months later, Louise was expecting a child; because of this, Bernadette was entrusted to the care of a...

Jurgen Engel
Thank you, Paul. Good morning to all of you and thanks for joining us. This was a very eventful quarter both at the drug development and corporate business levels. First, regarding our Phase III trial in multiple myeloma with Perifosine, you will recall that last spring we recovered North American rights to Perifosine from Keryx thus taking over full control of the trial. We then proceeded with an in-depth analysis of the situation and took appropriate measures that we believe will improve efficiency moving forward.
As a result of these efforts, during the quarter we opened close to 20 additional sites in Europe and the Middle East and closed centers which were not active. Other potential sites in Europe have been identified and we are in the process of activating them. At the end of October enrollment stood at more than 120 patients. The next important milestone for this study will be the first interim analysis. Approximately 80 events defined as disease progression or death will trigger this interim analysis.
We expect that the 80th event could occur in Q1 2013. An independent data safety monitoring board will look at both safety and efficacy data. Although we will not have access to this data we have notified DSMB members that we would like to have some indications of efficacy in order to take an enlightened decision to continue the trial or not. Furthermore, Yakult Honsha, our licensee for Perifosine in Japan, continued patient recruitment for its open label two-step (inaudible) trial in multiple myeloma in which Perifosine is combined with Velcade and dexamethasone in patients who have previously been treated with Velcade.
The primary endpoint is safety while secondary endpoints include response rate, progression free survival, and time [due to] progression. Initiated in June 2012, the Yakult sponsored trial is expected to include 18 patients. Yakult expects the trial to be completed in Q4 2013. WE are also looking to expand work in other indications. Finally, data for the Phase I trial in malignant myeloma and for a Phase II trial in lymphoma with Perifosine will be presented over the next few weeks at the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the American Society of Hematology meetings respectively.
Now let me turn to AEZS-108, our LH/RH agonist carrier linked to Doxorubicin. Subsequent to quarter-end of the consultation with key North American and European opinion leaders as well as FDA and DMA we filed a special protocol assessment with the FDA for our upcoming Phase III trial with AEZS-108 in endometrial cancer.
The FDA has recently requested additional information from us which we are in the process of compiling and preparing for submission. We expect to receive FDA's decision on our SPA shortly after the new year. Thereafter we plan to initiate the trial in Q1 2013 which would serve as a basis of approval for AEZS-108 in its first indication.
As for the protocol, this will be an open label, randomized, multi-center Phase III trial comparing AEZS-108 with Doxorubicin as second-line therapy for locally advanced recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer. [Process stream] will be 267 mgs per square meter of AEZS-108 by two-hour intravenous infusion on day one of 21-day cycles, and 60 mgs per square meter of Doxorubicin by intravenous bolus injection or one-hour IV infusion.
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the three months' improvement in [medium] oral survival, twelve months versus nine months. The trial will involve approximately 500 patients and will be conducted in North America and in Europe. Currently we are planning to include two interim analyses. Approximately 384 events would trigger final analysis of the data.
Regarding earlier-stage clinical studies with AEZS-108, the Phase I portion of the ongoing Phase I/II trial in castration- and taxane-resistant prostate cancer was completed during the quarter and the Phase II portion has been initiated. The trial is sponsored by a $1.6 million grant from the NIH and is being conducted as an investigator-initiated trial by Dr. Jacek Pinksi at the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at USC, Los Angeles. We are pleased to report that additional clinical sites were recently added in the West Los Angeles and Pasadena Clinics and the Los Angeles County Hospital.

NJ ,,Sunrise by BrettcWatch

Sunrise off the Jersey coast, this is another shot from the other day. Thanks a lot for your feedback and comments.
great shot
What lens did you use to capture this?
I love the color and the sun also the water effects
This is really stunning mate, excellent.
Love the touch of light on the rocks! Excellent shot Brett!
wonderful reflection
Fantastic light on those rocks mate, beautiful shot
Its so, breathtaking! You did a great job
BAD. ASS. It's too awesome to leave that as one word.
very nice. just enough in the foreground to keep your interest and spot on placement of the sun. I like a lot. Did you use multiple exposures or a grad nd filter?
thank you .. I did use a ND filter ....
How does it keep the foreground from either becoming too dark or the sky from being too bright? I thought that it was just creating a longer exposure, not cutting down the brightness of the sky.
What a great showing of how New Jersey has more to offer than urban sprawl. Thank you very much.
This is absolutely beautiful...well done!
this.. is... amazing. *awed*
I love the way you have cought the sea.
Very nice mate
Wow, that is actually incredible! I don't know what else to say!
Lovely, the creamy texture of the sea is cool !
great pic
Love the light on those rocks in the foreground. Very nice.

Dining & drinking near Petco Park
Pop into one of these places before (or after) taking in a Padres game
Last season left us with a yearning, a hunger — not unlike sitting through a baseball game cold sober with an empty stomach.
Well, for the season opener on April 5 the Padres take on the guys who nabbed our 2010 playoff spot. And if you're headed to that afternoon game against the San Francisco Giants, consider filling up on vim and vigor — and food and drink — at these East Village spots near the ballpark.
Ballpark food note:
You can bring unopened food to Petco for a little al fresco dining (in the general seating and picnic areas only).
East Village Block Party on Opening Day
11: 30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday (April 5), J St., East Village. Between Seventh and Tenth avenues. eastvillagesandiego.com
Get into the Giant-killing spirit when the East Village neighborhood hosts a free block party to celebrate its most famous neighbors, the Padres. Featuring food from BigDev's Barbeque, Frosted Robin Cupcakes and others, as well as live bands, a Stone Brewing Beer Garden, and community groups. The Padres home opener is against the World Series Championship winning San Francisco squad.

El Vitral Restaurant and Tequila Bar 815 J St. (619) 236-9420; elvitralrestaurant.com
Upscale Mexican food and over 250 tequilas? Yes. Best experienced on the patio, where the late-night happy hours are 10 p.m. to midnight, Fridays and Saturdays. Try the guacamole.
The Corner 369 Tenth Ave. (619) 531-8804; thecornersd.com
Customers at this two-story bar are like the perfect bag of mixed nuts: families, guy groups, couples. But beware Corner's Three Pound Burger Challenge: a six patty, egg-and-chili burger that's your for free if eaten in under an hour. You're useless to the Friars if you're in a food coma. Happy hour daily, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The boutique hotel's bar is a ninth-floor terrace with fire pits and a bird-in-the-sky view of Petco. Oh, and there's a grassy air known as Petco Park Grass — lawn actually imported from the ballpark — because Hotel Indigo is pet friendly.

Last year Del's packaged a little to-go food setup you could take into the game.

Hey, does anyone know a good site that shows how SQL Server place the data to disk?
Take a look at my blog in the Inside The Storage Engine series and the On Disk Structures series. I wrote a bunch of the SQL Server code that deals with data storage on disk. Start down at the bottom of the series where I go from records up.
This MS Press book does a good job of explaining this.
SQL BOL is probably your best bet for this. Check out this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280361.aspx and do some reading up on Pages & Extents, Files and Filegroups, and Transaction Logs... the rest would also be useful, but the database engine architecture is what you really should check into.
You may want to start out with this one though http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179355.aspx which is probably the info you are looking for.

Weight loss surgery: Band versus bypass continued...
Gastric banding is the safer of the two weight loss surgeries. The operation is typically performed as "belly-button surgery," performed through a small opening in the abdomen, a procedure called laparoscopic surgery. Unfortunately, for severely obese patients the results are often disappointing. "After gastric banding, weight loss is typically slow, and many patients end up losing only a relatively small percentage of body weight," explains Livingston. Because the pouch that's formed by inserting the band can expand if people eat too much food, some patients end up regaining the weight they've lost.
Gastric bypass surgery, on the other hand, is more complicated and carries more risks, including infection, blood clots, and leakage where the stomach and intestine are surgically connected. Because the surgery interferes with absorption, especially of calcium and iron, there is also a lifetime risk of anemia and other nutritional deficiencies.
But bypass surgery is far more effective than banding. Studies show that obese patients can expect to lose up to 2/3 of their body weight. Weight loss usually occurs rapidly. And gastric bypass patients are much more likely than those receiving gastric bands to keep the weight off.
Obesity-related medical problems also vanish with surprising speed. "In diabetic patients, signs of diabetes often resolve immediately after surgery," says Livingston. High blood pressure and high cholesterol improve dramatically. Hip and knee pain are dramatically eased as weight is reduced. Sleep apnea, another serious health risk associated with obesity, also resolves as patients lose fat from around their necks, says Livingston.
A 2007 study by physicians at St. Elizabeth Health Center and Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine bears him out. The researchers followed 400 patients who had undergone gastric bypass surgery. High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma, and reflux disease had improved or completely resolved in 80% to 100% of these patients after an average of a year. Arthritis, back and joint pain, and depression also had improved, although not as dramatically.
Choosing weight loss surgery
An estimated 5% of the adult U.S. population is severely obese, with a BMI over 40. Far more than that are obese or severely overweight and suffer risk factors associated with excess body weight. Many could benefit from bariatric surgery.

I am doing research for a masters class and I was asked to research monitor and alarm systems. I have been looking all over the web for these subjects but it seems its something relatively new or unknown. I have been reading a document written by dps telecom called Alarm Monitoring Fundamentals. It talks about Contact closures and how they are used with Remote Telemetry Units to receive input. A competitor site (whose explanation is not that much better) mentions some examples like an UPS.
Also if you can spare some organization or link about the subject, it would be really appreciated.
I have my forehead like this trying to understand.

A wintry hike in Grand Canyon
Ice and snow are frosting on expedition to Phantom Ranch
It's an hour after sunset and the temperature on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is 8 degrees. But that's why we're here. Hiking the Grand Canyon after April or before November means punishing temperatures and larger crowds. Once you've learned the art of layering clothing, the reward of a winter trip is a multiday immersion deep into one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World in a way few people can experience it. The canyon in winter is a visual feast of rich red, purple, green rock formations capped in snow.
Our seasoned group of San Diego hikers had a plan. Spending the night at a lodge on the South Rim gave us a chance to rest from the eight-hour drive, load up on carbohydrates at dinner, find a place to leave the car, and get an early start hiking. Dressed in layers of Capilene, smart wool, fleece, down, a rain shell to keep out the icy winds, and using poles and Stabilicers or Yaktrax to get us through the icy parts of the trail near the rim, we were walking advertisements for mountaineering gear companies. A hot breakfast beforehand effectively transformed us into chubby puff balls crunching through the snow toward the trailhead. Since we were staying in a hiker's cabin at Phantom Ranch, we didn't need to carry camping or cooking gear; only a change of clothes, plenty of water, first-aid items and snacks.
Our group split into two going down: those with questionable knees took the nine-mile Bright Angel trail, and those who didn't mind the steeper route, wanting the wide-open views, opted for the seven-mile South Kaibab trail.
We started out in muted light, watching the sun wash the north cliff walls. Jagged vertical spires eclipsed the sun, casting dramatic shadows into the side canyons. As the sun rose higher, those shadows slowly receded, revealing the deep purple tapeats sandstone, said to be 525 million years old, and the supai group, a layering of red sandstone, shale and limestone, quite the junior layer at 315 million years old. Just below the rim, the toroweap formation, a gray and white shale-limestone terrace, was a much younger layer at only 273 million years of age.
Mules came plodding up the South Kaibab trail, so we plastered ourselves against the canyon wall lest some random head butt send us careening down the cliff. Other hikers came from above us and passed, one wearing a long wool skirt over her thick long johns and hiking boots. Clearly we didn't get the fashion memo.
We shed our down coats at the two-mile point and plummeted into the first stage of switchbacks that our companions hiking Bright Angel knew well enough to avoid. One can't help but appreciate not only those that first cut these steps, but those who regularly maintain them, and the mules who navigate them without tumbling into the canyon below.
A lone hiker passed by, heading upward; he'd started at 3 a.m. on the North Rim. We couldn't tell if he was planning to turn right around and go back once he touched the South Rim or not. Our fashionable friends had turned around and were on their way back up already as well. They, too, were training for a tougher hike elsewhere. The Grand Canyon was enough for us.
We finally crossed the black bridge over the mighty Colorado River as a team of kayakers was beaching. In another mile, gold cottonwood leaves danced in the breeze while we dropped our packs against a wall outside the famed Phantom Ranch, propped our feet on chairs, toasting with their famous lemonade or a Tecate. Gradually our whole crew filed in and we took our happy hour party to our cabin, where we divided up the top and bottom bunks.

PHILADELPHIA – A report from the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania details the ways reclamation and redevelopment of vacant property have improved residents' quality of life in eastern North Philadelphia. The report, "Neighborhood Stabilization and Safety in East North Philadelphia," highlights how comprehensive strategic investment by local community developers and public agencies correlates with improvements in safety, rising incomes and an attraction of new working households.
Relying on Penn's Cartographic Modeling Lab crime data and information from U.S. census and demographic projections by mapping software ESRI and by PolicyMap, the Fels publication provides demographic indicators associated with the ongoing transformation in the area studied.
Written by Fels Research Associate Christopher Kingsley under the supervision of Fels Senior Consultant John Kromer, the report is the third in the Neighborhood of Opportunities project, funded by the William Penn Foundation.
The new report builds on two companion reports issued by Fels in September 2010 and July 2008 studying the transformation of vacant lots and redevelopment in the blocks east of Temple University and in neighborhoods in Southwest Philadelphia.
The most recent findings, which focused primarily on the area in eastern North Philadelphia, suggest there are dramatic benefits to investing in neighborhoods.
§ Between 1998 and 2007 serious crimes declined an average of 5.7% per year, a more rapid decline than in the Philadelphia area at large.
§ After experiencing a 20% drop in population between 1989 and 1999, the neighborhood experienced less than a 1% decrease between 1999 and 2009. Some analysts think that the incoming census data will actually show population growth.
§ The area has become an inviting neighborhood for middle-class families, attracting about 42 middle-class workers per year between 2002 and 2008.
§ Households in the area are 4.7% wealthier than they were a decade ago.
§ Residents are better educated; during the last decade, high school graduates increased from 44 to 51.2%. This outpaced the proportional amount of diploma holders living in Philadelphia
"There is no question that this neighborhood is on the sharp rebound, and the strategic planning and investments, primarily led by local community corporation Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha, or APM, have had a tremendous impact," Kingsley said.
This reinvestment has so far reinforced – rather than undermined – the area's long-standing diversity.
Census projections estimate that the neighborhood's ratio of Anglo-Americans, African-Americans and Hispanic residents has remained largely consistent through the previous decade.
"It is important to keep in mind that this neighborhood is still a relatively disadvantaged area compared to most other sections of Philadelphia," Kromer said. "Physical development must be accompanied by human-capital development to help individuals achieve social mobility and nurture a more sustainable community.
Fels organized the Neighborhoods of Opportunity project to examine real-estate development and human-capital strategies in a portion of eastern North Philadelphia between 1998 and 2010.
Researchers envision the project fostering a broader conversation about government and community leaders roles in economically disinvested areas, while generating policy recommendations most likely to succeed. The project seeks to evoke cooperation between the private sector, government and non-profits to improve local communities by active participation and smart investment.
The full report is available at www.fels.upenn.edu/apm_stabilization. For more information contact Lauren Hirshon, Fels director of research and consulting, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 215-746-6444.

The standard/quality of this place has dropped significantly! I am writing this review as I wait for our final dish to be served - its a shame that the rest of my family has finished their meal and 20 minutes later, I am yet to be served!
Used to be one of our favourite places but, it doesn't meet the standard anymore!

text: Well, I have a silly question. I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard with itunes 9. You have all noticed that before a sync, itunes makes a backup of data. I was wondering, rather than restore. Than syncing, is there a way to recover the iPhone backup I am perfectly clear about the procedure for the 3.0.1 jailbreak. In advance thank you.

I got a call from them while on vacation. Their sales rep explained that they charge $ 54.95 per valid lead. I would get credit for invalid leads. I signed up for 5 per month and told him I wanted to get no more than one per week - because payment is due within 72 hours of getting the lead. I didn't want a bunch of charges to roll up on me very early in the relationship. He said no problem.
Upon returning from vacation I looked on Active Rain and found lots of negative feedback on them. I e-mailed to tell them I wanted out. They told me I'm in for for their 30 day cancellation period.
In the first 2 days they hit me with 5 leads, in two weeks I've been billed for SEVEN leads when I asked for a maximum of FIVE per month! That's $ 384.65 in two weeks!
They've made no attempt to honor their sales rep's representations, their only replies have said that I owe within 72 hours for any leads sent. Absolutely no recogniton of the fact that their rep agreed to the one per week, 5 per month that was agreed to on the phone.
Reply Inc., or Reply Real Estate as they go by uses misrepresentation and deception. Avoid them. It will not be a good experience.
I was signed up with them for a very short time because I was dissatisfied with their service. Feel free to email me if you would like further explanation as to why.

Never enroll in an autobilling program without using a 'pre-paid' credit card. That way, you can say, "Come and get it!" Your local Wallymart provides to solution.
Can you imagine what it is like working for them?
Companies that offer FREE TRIALS without submitting a CC# are the only ones to consider.
Best of success,

Serious people call.
Serious people require reliable, accurate data
Same as other posters - these poor "leads" are getting bombarded with phone calls, and all they wanted was to see how much their home was worth! How terrible for them - expensive for us - and incredibly lucrative for Reply!! Bottom suckers!
I was asked for my Visa number in exchange for a free month of so-called "leads". Not only did they charge me for the free month of BOGUS leads but they triple charged my card and almost maxed it out in that short time. I asked them to stop sending me their email leads but they refused to stop and continued to overcharge my card. I had to call my credit card company and put a stop payment on it. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to get all the charges stopped in time. It was a very expensive lesson learned. DO NOT use this site.
DO NOT sign up.
I have yet to have one valid , what they call "Lead". Also, it is embarrassing to finally get hold of the referred person only to hear the "blast" about how they have been called by an excessive number of realtors. I only wish I had done my own due diligence about Reply before wasting my money and time on useless "leads". A most unfortunate experience for me.
They said the subscription would automatically cancel after one month and if I was satisfied, I would have to call to extend it. I also agreed to 10 leads per month, with a chatge of $55 for 3 leads aftert that period.
I just looked at my credit card statement and have 5 charges on there beginning on 9/24 for $164.85, totalling $824.25. They also have an additional l charge of $18.32 for who knows what. That brings the sum total to $842.57. The big joke is if I look at their billing and statement section, they billed me on 9/30 and then again on 10/20/11. Just a note: Today is 10/6/11 We haven't even gotten to the 20th.
This is such a SCAM!!! Avoid them like the plague.
That has been my experience also. I have had a couple of buyers contact me directly from Trulia though, and I have sold them a home, or sold their home for them.
This is the result for a search on ActiveRain for that company in case you don't know what to do this week-end...:)

"Town of mosaics" Top 5 Page for this destination Madaba by angiebabe
Madaba Travel Guide: 169 reviews and 633 photos
People come here for the number of sites around the town with excellent mosaics. Theyre mostly in old churches with early christian mosaics.
Even the oldest mosaic in Jordan is here - or a piece of it - according to the museum at the Church of the Virgin Mary.
It was interesting to see the seemingly accepted mix of christian and muslim sites here - as far as a tourist town goes people were calm and pleasant - when I approached for help with directions or info they were helpful or people actually approached me to tell there was this or that church in that direction to go see. (all very helpful as there were actually very few signs around the place!)
Though reading more extensively about the findings of the mosaics, when the Mosaic map was first found and it was seen that Jesus was depicted as the Son of God the Muslims defaced that part of the mosaic...
Excellent museum with an excellent collection of mosaics brought from other sites around the area - along with the mosaics here on the original site of the Church of the Virgin Mary (Roman catholic origins or influences versus the early church)
- Pros:fascinating history here - jewish and christian history living peacefully alongside Islam
- Cons:signposting and directions to the sites and the main centre when driving is a little difficult!

very nice page here reminds me of tunisia
Great pictures it is time for me to add some photos too thank you for your inspirational home page
beautiful Angela, but why not complete the page. Please tell something about the city.
thanks Goutam..yes i have pot holes in many of my pages ha ha! a lot of holes i have to get back to fill in and finish my pages a bit better! but Jordan really was a fantastic trip - calm and pleasant country and people and easy to travel around with great sights and sites!
theres not really a lot to tell about the city Goutam, it really centres around the many mosaics found around the town and the historical sites in the surrounding area - such as Mt Nebo
We passed through here and saw the famous map mosaic but sadly didn't realise what other treasures were here too - the perils of a group tour, even with a good company like Explore! Thanks for showing me more :-)
I never realized there were so many Christian churches in Jordan. Looks like an interesting place.
Great tips Angie!
I'm hoping to go sometime! wonderful Tips! I was just reading about Herod today. A good friend's daughter and son-in-law are in ministry here.
Your detail on the church of St. George was fascinating and agree on Mary's status matter. Too bad for the mosaics not being preserved well. My last trip to 11 parks in Utah/Arizona. Bryce & Zion were the better scenes-but Kanab/Page was remote out there.
Really lovely mosaics, and that opening sunrise photo, you should be proud of, stunning!!
Nice page. Great photos! Gillybob greetings

Answer from Pegasus:We do not recommend lengthening the wire. Splicing or lengthening the wire may result in voltage drop causing the driver to overwork and eventually fail.
Question from Jim Baron:
What is the ideal spacing for under cabinet?
Answer from Pegasus:Jim, check out our blog post on spacing puck lights. http://blog.pegasuslighting.com/2011/02/how-many-under-cabinet-lights-do-i-need/
Question from Alison:
Hi. Could these lights be used in a ceiling as well?
Answer from Pegasus:They are not designed for installing in a ceiling. They require a plug-in driver so you have to plug them into a wall outlet.
Question from Megan:
What are the full dimensions of the Hera 3- Watt LED Low Profile Mini and what color temperatures are offered?
Answer from Pegasus:The diameter is 2-11/16in. The thickness is 1/2in. Warm white and cool white color temperatures are available.
Question from Kristian:
What depth of mounting surface is necessary for this to be a recessed light source? I want to mount these in mill work that overhangs a bar top.
Answer from Pegasus:Kristian, The lights 1/2in thick including the trim. To be safe, I would say having an inch thickness for the mounting surface would be adequate.
Question from Marijke:
Are these lights (Hera 3-Watt LED low profile Miniature Recessed Spotlight) suitable for underneath kitchen cabinets?
Answer from Pegasus:Absolutely!
Question from Howie:
Do you have the surface mount rings for the above?
Answer from Pegasus:No, we do not carry the surface mount rings.
Question from Steve Johnson:
Does this have a housing? Does it come with the surface mount ring? Do you have instructions? I don't understand how the remote is connected.
Answer from Pegasus:No, we do not carry the surface mount ring. It is not included. No, this does not have a housing nor does it require one. The remote includes accessories for connecting to the power supply so that you can dim the lights.
Question from alex:
Can this wire directly to the wire under the cabinet like this?
Answer from Pegasus:This product must be connected to one of the plug-in driver accessories. It cannot be hardwired.

Oh, that sneaky pumpkin.
Looks like it found its way into a plain, ol', boring cornbread recipe and it brought its friends Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Molasses! How kind!
We're getting two days of rain here in usually-sunny Southern California. Perhaps the rest of the country would scoff, but for us this is an event! Something to plan for! And plan we did at work. Monique is bringing vegetarian chili for our lunch on Tuesday, so I volunteered to bring the cornbread. I didn't have a favorite cornbread recipe on hand, so I went to Foodgawker and looked around for nearly 30 seconds before I found Pumpkin Cornbread at Sweet Pea's Kitchen. Huzzah! The recipe wasn't vegan, but I only had to switch out the egg to make it friendly. Definitely not gluten-free either and I didn't make any adjustments for that. Maybe next time!
Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Cornbread
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs (Use your egg replacement here! Ener-G Egg Replacer or a flax egg would do nicely, I think.)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin tin. I used a muffin pan that has spots for 12 muffins and is rather shallow so I could make many smaller cornbread muffins.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices, brown sugar, and cornmeal. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, lightly beat the eggs, and then stir in the pumpkin, oil, and molasses.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined, and then pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

The concrete pouring on the tower, which is a B+G+4type+HC building that occupies a total plot area of 5,799 sq. m., has been completed using five mobile concrete pumps and a laser level machine. These were fixed by SHGC and the team from Remix Tech, the concrete supplier who sourced the material from two plants in separate areas. The pour was fully supervised by consultant Engr. Adnan Saffarini Office, with SHGC taking the necessary steps to ensure that the ideal concrete temperature was maintained as well as the overall safety of the workers.
"We have been working non-stop to hit the delivery deadline of 'Ajman Uptown', and we are leveraging the expertise of our partners to ensure that progress will mirror the targets we have previously set," said Fawad Sattar Dero, Managing Director, Sweet Homes General Contracting. "The construction milestones we have achieved one after another reiterate our commitment to our investors and stakeholders, and the strength we maintain to deliver on our promise and contribute to the growth of Ajman as a real estate destination in the region."
Comprised of 1,504 villas, seven commercial and residential towers with a shopping mall, hotels, hospital, two Mosques, club, market and a school, 'Ajman Uptown' takes inspiration from classic French architecture with the overall theme 'L' Art De Vivre' or 'Redefining the Art of Living'. Spread over 4 million square feet of land that is directly accessible from the Emirates Road and adjacent to Emirates City, the project offers 8 different types of two, three and four-bedroom townhouses and exclusively designed five-bedroom VIP villas. Sweet Homes has taken on all aspects of development within 'Ajman Uptown', with its construction arm - Sweet Homes General Contracting undertaking the AED 2.2 billion main contract as well as the project's initial groundworks.
"We are very pleased with the exceptional progress we are making despite the challenges of the economic downturn. We are optimistic that the recovery of the real estate market and the evolution of legislation in Ajman to provide more benefits for investors will have more significant impact to the growth of 'Ajman Uptown' as one of the most sought-after communities in the country," concluded Fahad Sattar Dero, Managing Director, Sweet Homes Holdings.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will help EdM provide energy-efficient wood or coal-burning stoves and gas stoves to retailers. EdM uses loaned funds to purchase stoves from local producers, then supplies the stoves to retailers on credit. Retailers, who typically own pre-existing small businesses and wish to add stoves to their inventories, are responsible for repaying the cost of the stoves to EdM in installments over the course of the loan term. These stoves help end users reduce their fuel expenses and avoid health complications caused by cooking over open fires. Since EdM pays the cost of transporting stoves from producers to retailers, and provides marketing support in the form of promotional posters and awareness-raising events, the organization adds a margin of between 4 and 7.5% to the cost the retailers pay for the stoves in order to make the project self-sufficient.
About Entrepreneurs du Monde (EdM)Kiva provides an important source of flexible, risk-tolerant working capital for social businesses in EDM's network so that they can import and stock clean energy products to meet customer demand and positively impact health and the environment in impoverished communities around the world.

Super Typhoon Haiyan, among the most powerful storms ever recorded, crashed across the central islands of the Philippines Friday, killing at least four people and forcing nearly 750,000 people to flee from their homes.
Widespread power outages were reported and hundreds of flights were cancelled. But the nation appeared to avoid major disaster because the typhoon blew away before wreaking more damage.
Haiyan had sustained winds of 155 mph with gusts as high as 235 mph, according to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The center of the storm was moving away from the Philippines and into the South China Sea, but high winds were still battering the country.
The latest forecast shows the storm making landfall Sunday near Hue, Vietnam.
Haiyan, known as Yolanda in the typhoon-prone Philippines, affected a huge sweep of the country. At least two people were electrocuted in storm-related accidents, one person was killed by a fallen tree and another was struck by lightning, official reports said.

The Center Grove area house has been empty for about a decade, and neighbors have watched as minor maintenance issues turned into bigger problems.
Now, the gutters are gone, the gutter boards are falling down, and the garage door looks like it's about ready to cave in.
Whenever Bob Staley passes the house at Smith Valley and Peterman roads, he wishes the owner would either fix it up or tear it down.
The owner, Johnson County government, mows and does some maintenance, but tearing down the house is not a top priority.
The house at 4005 W. Smith Valley Road was purchased by the county in 2002 when Smith Valley Road was widened. During construction, the ranch house was used as a construction office for workers and then was used again during a later project to realign the intersection of Olive Branch and Morgantown roads.
The house has been vacant for about 10 years, and the county mows the lot a few times each summer and keeps pipes from freezing, Johnson County Highway Department director Luke Mastin said.
The county commissioners considered selling the property in 2009, but the county wants to keep the land in case it is needed for future road projects.
The house isn't needed, and county officials occasionally discuss tearing it down. As of now, the county does not have an estimate of the cost of demolition and has no immediate plans to tear it down, Mastin said.
"It will be torn down at some point in the near future. When it will be or how much it will cost, we don't know that," Mastin said.
If the county isn't going to sell the land, it should at least get rid of the house before it falls apart even more, Staley said. Local governments often prod property owners to clear up messy properties, so the county should be held to the same standards, he said.
"It just amazes me that they can just back-shelf it and not worry about it," Staley said. "Why wait until it's in the shape that some of the others are? Why let it become a total eyesore?"
The county spends about $5,000 per year to mow and winterize the house, but no other maintenance is being done, Mastin said. Over the years it has been vacant, the home has started to show signs of wear.
"It's very difficult to keep a house in good shape when it's not being lived in," Mastin said.
The county will keep the property in case a new project on Smith Valley Road or at the nearby intersection is done in the future, Mastin said. If the county sold the land and then needed to buy more ground for a project later, the price would likely be higher, he said.
