Uncompromised quality, speed, and value. The Phaser 240 prints high-quality color on paper or transparencies.
The Right CombinationThe Phaser 240 color printer is a sound business investment from Tektronix, the leader in workgroup color printers. It's just the right combination of high-quality, efficiency, and value. With the Phaser 240 you can print a full color page, on transparency film or paper, in just 30 seconds. That's fast enough to serve your entire workgroup. Top-quality color printing has never been so affordable.
Presenting Your Best ImageNothing adds more impact to your presentations and reports than color. Color grabs more attention, gets your message across faster, and is remembered longer. Color is a clear advantage and the Phaser 240 delivers the high-performance color printing required for workgroup applications. PC Magazine chose Tektronix thermal-transfer color printers as the Editors' Choice for two years in a row (1). In fact, Tektronix' thermal-transfer color printer was rated the fastest by PC Magazine and MWA Consulting (2). Imagine the difference that high-performance color printing will make when you're printing last-minute changes for your presentations.
Why Settle For Less Than The Best?It's true, the Phaser 240 prints beautiful, 300 dots-per-inch color output on common office laser papers. But we've taken thermal-transfer technology to the next level. Just add 8 Megabytes of memory to enable TekColor SuperCell 600(TM) color printing with user-selectable 600 x 300 dpi resolution. SuperCell 600 improves every aspect of the printed page -- sharper details, higher contrast, smoother shading, and more saturated color. Even scanned images print with remarkable clarity. Once you've seen color printing at this level of quality, you won't settle for less.
The Color Printer Built For Your WorkgroupNetworking: The Phaser 240 includes genuine Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM) Level 2. And it's a true workgroup printer, designed with popular network options, so you can plug it into any system. Share it with PCs, Macs, and workstations. Ethernet is available in Novell® NetWare®, EtherTalk(TM), and TCP/IP(TM) protocols. All ports are simultaneously active. Just send your job to print and the Phaser 240 automatically switches between ports and protocols.
Speed: At two pages per minute it's fast enough to handle the demands of any workgroup. The Phaser 240 won't tie up your computer with image processing. It all takes place in the printer, so you can move on to the next task. It's just what you need to keep your workgroup productive.
High Capacity: With the Phaser 240 you can make 342 color prints from a single transfer roll. The Phaser 240 provides unattended operation so you can focus your attention on your project, not your printer. With our exclusive ColorCoat(TM) transfer roll you can even make color prints on common office laser papers.

Assuming we develop quantum computers one day, what would be theoretically the next step? Would it be string-theory based computers? How would these computers differ performance-wise (ie what can they possibly do that Quantum Machines cannot)
Although in one sense this question and answer is altogether beyond physics, (as discussed below) there would seem to be a very natural answer to this question, to wit:
Beyond Quantum Computers are computers than can overcome the Church-Turing thesis (See the Wikipedia page with this name) and, more generally, can compute the truth value of propositions that are undecidable by a finite computation, or, equivalently, underivable in a finite number of steps from a fixed axiom system. The latter are commonly (and somewhat cheekily, IMO) called "Oracles" (see the Wikipedia page for "Oracle Machine") by computer scientists, logicians and other researchers into the foundations of mathematics.
The Position of Mainstream Physics on Oracle Machines
As far as I know, there is as yet no serious question as to whether the class of problems solvable by quantum computers might be bigger than the class solvable by deterministic, Turing machines. Indeed it seems that mainstream physics believes that computers transcending the CT thesis are likely to be outside physics (see this Physics SE question Church-Turing hypothesis as a fundamental law of physics). I think most workers in this field would believe, on the evidence so far that quantum computers will not overcome the Church-Turing thesis, i.e. that no algorithm "implemented in any physical computer" can compute anything that a classical Turing machine cannot in principle (the bit in quotes is my addition to the wonted statement of the CT thesis). Note that I say in principle: the serial sequences of Turing state machine states that make up many computations are so fantastically long that no classical computer could do them in the life span of a physical universe complying with known physical laws. Quantum computers may change all that and bring many computations formerly thought forbiddingly complex for any practical solution into the doable realm. So the factors that may set quantum computers apart from classical ones are:
But transcending the Church-Turing thesis so far does not seem to be an attribute of quantum computing.
Speculative Futures Grounded on Yet-To-Be-Discovered Physics
Now, mainstream physics has no concept of how an oracle machine - effectively something that can do an infinite number of computing steps in a finite time - might be implemented, so in this sense your question is altogether beyond physics. However, if the standpoint taken by strong mathematical platonists such as Gödel was is the right one (a more extreme view still is Mark Tegmark's Mathematical Universe Hypothesis) then it is conceivable (but still not needful, mind you) that such oracles are physically realizable in some as yet unknown physics. To give some idea of how fantastical that is: if we indeed developed such technology, the observation of true infinities in the laboratory would become a commonplace, everyday idea!
What Current Physics has to say about the limits of Oracle Machines
Even if this thinks about yet to be discovered (if at all valid) physics, there are a few things we can say about an oracle machine or other computer transcending the Church-Turing thesis, mainly grounded on thermodynamics and Landauer's principle:
Of course, in General Relativity there is no global energy conservation, so there may even be speculative speculative physics not subject to the above restrictions!
Examples of Undecidable Propositions, i.e. Those Needing Oracles for Decision
Since you ask this question, I assume that the idea of undecidable and unncomputable propositions is unwonted to you. So begin by looking up:
Most of these problems involve computing something by the Cantor slash procedure (the procedure used to show that $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable) so I'll give a flavor of them as follows by showing the existence of uncomputable function (the proof of uncomputability of Kolmogorov complexity stands out as a little different from this technique - see the Wiki page). Suppose we have a computer language. Now we list all syntactically valid programs in order of their Gödel number (we can take this to be the code's "value" as a string of ASCII digits). This list is clearly in one-to-one onto correspondence with the positive integers. We then pick the programs that compute one integer function of one integer variable and put these in a condensed list: these too are clearly a list that can be put into bijective correspondence with the positive integers. Then we throw out all the ones that do not halt (we cannot actually do this by the unsolvability of the halting problem but the countable list exists) so we are left with a countable list $\{f_i:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\}_{i=1}^\infty$ of computable, integer valued integer functions. These include every such function that can be computed in that particular computer language. So now we consider the function:
$$f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}:\;f(x) = f_x(x) + 1$$
and readily show that it is not on the list ($f_x(x) \neq f_x(x)+1 = f(x)$). So we would have to extend our computer language to compute this function. But then our new language would also have uncomputable functions, by precisely the same argument.
This issue is considered, directly or indirectly, in other questions in physics.SE.
The question Church-Turing hypothesis as a fundamental law of physics is nearly the converse of the question asked here and my answer raises the possibility that physics could allow other computational models, oracle machines being one of them.
Then answering Final theory in Physics: a mathematical existence proof?, I raise the issue that, precisely for computational reasons, it is not obvious to know what could be a Theory of Everything (covering all of physics). I tried to pursue this point by asking myself the question What is a TOE, a Theory of Everything.
Similar points wre also adressed in an older question Does Gödel preclude a workable ToE?.
There is actually technical research trying to assess the physical limits of calculability. For example,
I will not repeat the detailed content of the other answers. It seems that a major issue limiting computability is the denumerable character of our mental activities and theories, all based on language, on syntax. We can talk about non denumerable entities, like real numbers, but we cannot show them, except for some of them through denumerable devices ("it is the root of this equation"), and that has limitations.
Some of the research has gone into assessing what property of the physical universe could impose a similar limit on computability. One such property would be a limitation of information density in space-time, which they seem to believe compatible with existing physics. Various devices may be considered to make the equations of physics compatible with denumerability, such as the use of computable reals, that allow developing a form of calculus with denumerable numbers, though noy without limitations.
There is also the possibility that physics will allow going beyond the Church-Turing limitation. This in itself may have deep implication on our way of developping the theories. Axiomatic mathematics that are used to build physical theories are fundamentally based on denumerability. From the axioms, we can enumerate theorems, essentially with a Turing machine. Could it be that more powerful models of computation would open the door to a different approach at formalizing mathematics and physics. Another way of seeing it is the Curry-Howard isomorphism that associates theorem proofs and computer programs. If new computing models existed, would they correspond to new ways of proving mathematical resualts.
Or conversely, could it be the case that our confinement in denumerable discourse would prevent us from perceiving alternatives existing in the physical world.
On a less ambitious scale, there is the possibility that some physical phenomenon could move the complexity barriers, as quantum computing seems able to do it. This in itself is a feat that would be hard to dream of if we did not know quantum mechanics. So physics may have other surprises in store.
You might be interested in this paper, NP-complete problems and Physical Reality, by Scott Aaronson. It doesn't discuss the next step "after quantum computers" per se, but compares the computational power of various physical theories. It surveys newtonian physics, nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, nonlinear corrections to QM, hidden variable theories, special relativity, quantum gravity, general relativity, and the many-world interpretation.
For example, section 5 (on page 7) examines what happens if quantum mechanics were not strictly linear (answer: if we could perform computations without errors, we could solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time; whether this can be done in a fault-tolerant manner is unknown).
The idea is to implement something like Grover's search algorithm. Suppose we are given a black-box function $f : {0,1}^n \to {0,1}$ and we want to find an input $x$ such that $f(x) = 1$. Using $n$ qubits we can form a superposition over all $2^n$ input states and evaluate $f$ on it so we have the state $\sum_x |x\rangle |f(x)\rangle$; the problem now is that the "answer states" we want, where the last qubit $|f(x)\rangle$ has value $1$, might be in superposition with about $2^n$ "non-answer states". Grover's algorithm amplifies the difference between these states in $O(2^{n/2})$ steps, but this is the best we can do because time evolution in QM preserves the angle between states. In non-linear QM, this restriction is removed and we can potentially amplify the difference much faster.
Section 8 discusses the computational power of closed timelike curves, or time travel, which after all satisfy all the laws of general relativity. Specifically, some people have tried to resolve the grandfather paradox by saying that only consistent histories are allowed; then the idea is to arrange matters so that finding a consistent history, which the universe does for us "for free", also happens to solve a very hard problem, for instance $\text{3SAT}$.
The part that addresses your question most directly is the section on quantum gravity, but unfortunately, it is also the section that contains the least number of concrete results.

Along with the Mentos DUO that I reviewed last time, I also found this Lakrita Mint flavor as well. I saw pictures of licorice and mint leaves on the side, and I realized it's been a long time since I've had any black licorice. Like an itch that you need to scratch, I felt it's been too long so I decided to try this flavor too. Into the basket it went and I looked forward to when I could taste what Mentos thought licorice was like.
I know the Dutch are really into their licorice, and as a fellow black licorice lover I really appreciate that. They get way more interesting licorice candies than we do here in the US, which is a huge understatement since black licorice is so hard to find in our country. Still, sometimes I am lucky enough to encounter black licorice that's imported from Europe every so often. And I found this roll of Mentos Lakrita Mint on one of those lucky streaks.
The dragees are actually a bright white. I was really expecting black or dark gray. They have no aroma to them at all, which I also find puzzling. I pop one into my mouth and begin chewing and immediately taste peppermint. It's a bright, intense, and fresh flavor that reminds me of intense toothpaste. Halfway through chewing the licorice flavor starts to come through. The peppermint gradually fades away to reveal and very intense and flavorful black licorice flavor. I get notes of molasses, anise and a little bit of herbs. The licorice flavor is actually a tad salty to boot, which I think this is a first for me, because normally I hate salty licorice. This is different, as I quite like it. A lot. It's just a kiss of salt, enough to notice it, but it really enhances the licorice flavor and I found myself enjoying it very much.
I was expecting to not like these Mentos at all, since I'm not the biggest fan of peppermint and some black licorices don't have the greatest flavor. These I really loved. They're refreshing without it being too much, and the licorice flavor is very satisfying. It just goes to show that you have to try something in order to know if you really like it. I found a new favorite and something I can nab whenever I need a licorice fix. I urge you all to give that candy you've been eyeing a try, sometimes it's a risk but it can be a very rewarding one!

More Personal, Love and the Science of It Related to Virtual Worlds and Reincarnation
Written by ina on Sunday, 20 of January , 2008 at 9:04 pm
Tags: love, mimetex, personal, reincarnation, science of love, secondlife, SL relationships, Time, urban fantasy, virtual worlds, YoS
I keep comments off on this blog for a reason, but people have been emailing and IMing me about how my blog is both too impersonal and also too personal! When I started designing the layout, I had intended this blog to be the update blog for IC-E. But then I considered one of the only reasons IC-E came up… more or less as a holistic mechanism for creative release to keep me sane during my YoS. So, I guess the only way to placate both parties is to make my blog both personal and impersonal!
Many have asked me about my love life, and a few have been blatant enough to refer to it as my sex life. Officially, I am engaged to a brilliant med school junkie. But, Hamlet has driven me to a nunnery (read: my YoS), and so we're separated as I try to find meaning in my art, forget the fact that I once had uncannily ambitious dreams in physics and bioengineering, and reminisce over all that'd occurred before… and as he figures out whether he'd MD/Ph.D or just defect to straight-on Ph.D. We're technically engaged, but neither of us is sentimental or traditional enough to favor the ring. (I am the type who would cry if you buy me a dozen roses — it's $100+… and what a waste! Rationally, I have allergies… and roses when you can buy me a nifty cool tech toy or fund my Software Sponsorship Foundation with the same amount!)
But, recently, though, my current SL relationship feels much more real. And it's crazy because we have no idea what the other looks like — and the romance actually developed significantly back when we were in text chat only. The guy is actually bound in his own version of the YoS, and so… I dunno.
But, enough about me. Here's something that might be of interest to you:
The Jan 28 Issue of Time featured an article advertised as "The Science of Romance." But, I only picked it up because of an extremely long and slightly painful and maybe even bloody toilet session (lol, too personal?). Time sends free print issues to me, so every once in a while I fish through the magazine pile in the bathroom and feel obligated to read it — anyway, so while the web version I linked doesn't show the article cover image… which flaunted Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamics, canonical variables and all that, a la equations H= and , I should mention I was only somewhat disappointed that the article didn't explain how these equations related to love. But, the point is that I did learn something interesting that might explain for why SL relations often lead to childless marriages in RL or mere brief encounters.
Other than the usual things, the article mentioned two interesting points. Physical contact that allow for smell or taste can transmit the adequate MCH from partner to partner so that each can determine biologically compatible for reproduction. Women who are on birth control typically fail in this MCH detection.
Given the limitations of smell transmission when two parties are separated by distances of hundreds or thousands of miles, I guess the first physical meeting might be either shocking — "OMG, our MCH are sooo like incompatible" or the more optimal. I think most people would react out of politeness or nostalgia (the "addiction" part of the brain, according to this article) and attempt to believe and force belief in the latter.
In other news, I started to continue work on this (still untitled!) urban fantasy story I became obsessed with sometime in mid-2006. Its paradigm rests on a scientific-ish framework for your usual magick and all that… but also involves the concept of reincarnation, quite heavily. This whole SL/Internet-based romance thing where the other party does not actually get to experience much of the other party other than voice or perhaps a pointful and postedited (and thus unrepresentative and inaccurate) photo… and the fact that people still go crazy for each other despite this stoic technicality! In light of how the Internet allows people with potentially incompatible biologies to connect, I'm going to make the strong conjecture that the Internet and virtual worlds were inevitable because they're fate's will to overcome the randomness of biology's "body assignment" to allow for estranged souls — destined soulmates — to connect, life after life.

Popular Bug Repellent Deet Harms Nervous System
Here's a stern warning for all those moms hosing down their kids with bug spray at the cookout. Published in the journal BMC Biology, scientists have determined deet—a common chemical used in insect repellents—is neurotoxic and harms the brain.
The active ingredient in many insect repellents, deet, has been found to be toxic to the central nervous system. Researchers say that more investigations are urgently needed to confirm or dismiss any potential neurotoxicity to humans, especially when deet-based repellents are used in combination with other neurotoxic insecticides.
Vincent Corbel from the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement in Montpellier, and Bruno Lapied from the University of Angers, France, led a team of researchers who investigated the mode of action and toxicity of deet (N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide). Corbel said, "We've found that deet is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetycholinesterase, in both insects and mammals".
Not exactly comforting news for little campers and hikers! That's why Dr. Fuhrman says parents must be vigilant to protect their children from toxic environments—not just pesky mosquitoes.

ZF-7266: Dijit parsing before store creation fails value setting in FilteringSelect and ComboBox.
In 1.8.4, doing something like this in a view:
echo $this->filteringSelect( 'select', '20', array( 'store' => 'store', 'storeType' => 'dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore', 'storeParams' => array('url' => '/my/data')) );
Fails, the 'value' is not set because the store is not loaded when it it parses the input. With a filteringSelect the input remains a textbox with the value set, but it is not a dojo object, and everything else on the page breaks. With a comboBox the value and label are set to the identifier value that I am passing instead of the label getting set properly (assuming because combo box allows things not in the store). I tried putting a 'value' option in the params array, but that doesn't seem to propagate, and even if I test this by hand it still doesn't load properly because of the way things are getting parsed.
Anyone have any idea's? Besides creating all this stuff by hand?
The following scenarios work: * Declarative usage ** If the store is already defined prior to parsing, and the widget references the jsId of the store, then the value will be set. ** If the store is already defined prior to parsing, but the widget does not define the store and the store is manually added to the widget following parsing, the value will not be set. ** If the store is already defined prior to parsing, but has no jsId, there's no way whatsoever to associate it with the widget; the value will not be set. * Programmatic usage ** The store must be set and added as part of the widget declaration for the value to be set (i.e., added as an object, not as a string referencing the jsId) ** Any other situation will result in no value being set
Thus, the only way for this to work is for the store declaration to happen prior to onLoad, and for the store declaration to define a jsId.
Fixed in trunk and 1.9 release branch

You are welcome Natalie. Unfortunately no, it's been too long. I remember that I would read whatever I could find from her.
I did notice that she is available at a lot of libraries.... Hopefully, a sign that her writing is indeed as good as I remember it

Post subject: Spanish romance
I'm from Chile (spanish speaking country), but I have to say I havn`t read many original spanish romance novels.
Please DON`T read Corin Tellado. (Sorry fans, but I think they are the worst series romance ever.)
"Como agua para chocolate" is really nice, althought don`t bother with the recipes. I didn`t understand them, and spanish is my first language.
There is a chilean author named Isabel Allende who now lives in California. She has written a couple of novels with strong romance in it. My favorite is "De amor y de sombra" (Of love and shadow). It`s about a couple of journalists in Chile during dictatorship (1975) who fall in love but discover a rather nasty secret.
In the last years there are some spanish-speaking writers who have written romance. I read Amparo Balbuena´s "Como una flor entre las rocas", wich is a medieval set during the crusade against the catars in southern France. Another author is Florencia Bonelli (from Argentina), but I havn`t read her books yet.
Anyway, there are a lot of romance novels translated to spanish. I think you can reread any favorite. Here is the link to a web page with the best info about them:
Please try it, it`s really good. They have the name of the new spanish romance authors too.
If you want to read something different, here are a couple of authors:
- Roberto Ampuero: chilean, writes mystery. He has written about exilean chileans in Sweden (Los amantes de Estocolmo), and about a cuban detective in Chile (Quien mato a Cristian Kustermann?)
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez: colombian, writes "magic realism" (realismo magico). He is famous for a novel called "100 años de soledad", but it might be too long and difficult if you`re beginning to learn spanish. You could try "Cronica de una muerte anunciada".
If you need any help feel free to ask me. I`ll be happy to help you.

Well it seems that most romances listed on the site are indeed translations of the book by popular American/British authors (I've had fun with deciphering some of the titles - it's good the site provides the original English titles too!). I did found a few authors that write in Spanish. Does anyone know anything about them?

March Madness: David Leventi's College Basketball Cathedrals
You don't have to be caught up in the NCAA college basketball championship to appreciate David Leventi's images of basketball arenas. Leventi, a Brooklyn-based photographer, was assigned to shoot some of the country's oldest college basketball courts last fall for ESPN the Magazine. His images, all shot in available light using a 4×5 camera, capture the architectural grandeur of basketball courts built before 1940, including those at Butler, Fordham, University of Pennsylvania and Yale.
"The idea was to show them as cathedrals of basketball," he explains. He had two to three hours in each of the spaces to wait until the light was just right, and also to figure out the best place to position his camera in order to get a dramatic photo. "The challenge is finding the one emblematic shot that says it all compositionally as well as on an emotional level."
Leventi has recently been getting assignments from The New York Times Magazine, Esquire and other clients to shoot grand interiors, including the refurbished TWA terminal in New York's JFK airport, thanks to his series of images of great opera houses in Europe, which he exhibited last year in Toronto.
Leventi, who also shoots landscapes and less splendid interiors, says his very personal project on opera houses was inspired as much by his grandfather, Anton Gutman, as by his interest in architecture. Gutman's singing career was thwarted, Leventi explains. "He was a cantor who was interned in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp from 1942-1948. The Danish operatic tenor Helge Rosvaenge, also a prisoner, heard my grandfather sing an aria from Tosca and gave him lessons. I grew up listening to him sing in our living room," says Leventi, who ended up photographing the great stages on which his grandfather never got to sing.
More of Leventi's architectural work can be found on his blog, davidleventi.wordpress.com.

ZF-9101: Cannot open a PDF file with more than two levels of depth in bookmarks by default
If you call Zend_Pdf::load('test.pdf') and 'test.pdf' opens by default with more than 2 levels of bookmarks, you get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Pdf_Exception' with message 'Outline childs load error.' in C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\Zend\Pdf\Outline\Loaded.php:341 Stack trace: #0 C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\Zend\Pdf.php(549): Zend_Pdf_Outline_Loaded->__construct(Object(Zend_Pdf_Element_Reference)) #1 C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\Zend\Pdf.php(317): Zend_Pdf->_loadOutlines(Object(Zend_Pdf_Element_Reference)) #2 C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\Zend\Pdf.php(253): Zend_Pdf->__construct('test.pdf', NULL, true) #3 C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\test_zend_pdf.php(66): Zend_Pdf::load('test.pdf') #4 {main} thrown in C:\fimarkets\site\dev\php\common\Zend\Pdf\Outline\Loaded.php on line 341
Tested with a PDF file generated by OpenOffice 3.1.1
The workaround is to generate the PDF file so that in the UI tab of the PDF options dialog box of Open Office, the "visible outline levels" are set to 2 or less.
I'm uploading another file which reproduces this error in Zend 1.9.x and 1.10.x, but not 1.8.5.
The only workaround for me right now is to use 1.8.5.
The same for me. Works on older version 1.7.2, but doesn't work on 1.10.5
Fixed (fix is already available with ZF 1.11.0 RC1).
Alex, thank you very much! It Works perfectly!

Black Loyalists part 1
Daurene Lewis, as with most of the African Nova Scotians living around Annapolis Royal, is a descendant of the Black Loyalists. In fact, Rose Fortune, the image at the top of this post is one of Daurene's direct Black Loyalist ancestors. Who were the Black Loyalists? Why did they come to Nova Scotia?
The Loyalists themselves are a complicated group. Truthfully, the only thing which binds the Loyalists together as a group is that they all left the newly minted United States at the end of the American Revolution. Their were a great many reasons for leaving. Some were legitimately remaining loyal to the British Crown. Others were seeking new economic opportunities and grants of land. Some arrived through mixed up circumstances and would quickly return to the United States. Finally, some were fleeing slavery and others arrived as slaves. These last two groups, the freed slaves and those still enslaved have come to be known as the Black Loyalists.
As the American revolution was progressing, the British Crown issued various proclamations which offered American slaves their freedom in exchange for fighting for the British. A great many slaves took advantage of these offers by escaping from their owners and joining the British ranks. In many cases, living conditions for Blacks in the British military were not much better than enslavement.
Toward the end of the war in 1783, many freed and escaped slaves had made their way to New York City. New York was the last of the British strongholds and as such was a relatively safe refuge for those trying to escape slavery. Safety did not mean ideal or even adequate living conditions. Many Blacks were living in accomodations not much better than tents and wooden boxes.
With the war's end, the British began to evacuate their subjects to areas still governed by the Crown including Nova Scotia. Much to the delight of genealogists, a log was kept of all of the Blacks who were evacuated. This log, commonly referred to as the "Book of Negroes", was written partially so that any disputed claims over the ownership of freed slaves could be settled. The descriptions in this book also allow descendants to know if they were descended from a "stout wench", a "fine boy" or someone who was "worn out".
Due to the scope of this story, another installement in the saga of the Black Loyalists will have to wait for a future post. Rest assured, there will be hardships, a riot, and even a voyage to Sierra Leone.
All for now,

I feel your sentiments. I'm a Creole from Sierra Leone and our founding fathers were black loyalists like Thomas Peters and others. I just released a new CD and video called The Black Loyalists. You can find it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAB5nKP3mbMReplyDelete
or you can visit www.shabakasounds.com to check it out. The African spirit is resilient.
I too woke up to Daurene's voice, and remembered 1984 when Annapolis Royal added to its long list of "firsts" by electing Daurene!ReplyDelete
I am descended from the Nova Scotians of Sierra Leone. My ancestors were not Loyalists, and I resent that title. They were African Americans and they were not Loyalists. While some were legitimately loyal to the crown, I completely resent this notion that they were Loyalists. I have read too many documents which contradict this idea, and if one once to know the truth, James Walker who came up with the term "Black Loyalist" does not give the full story of these blacks. In their own personal narratives they do not even refer to themselves as Loyalists. While I like having a kinship relationship with African Americans and their African Nova Scotian descendants, I resent the notion that we have to mold our ancestors into this "Loyalist" merely to fit Canadian historical ideals. Some of our ancestors were Loyalists, and some were not. One thing they all were, were Refugees. I agree completely that my ancestors were African American Refugees or Black Refugees like those American slaves who came to Nova Scotia after the War of 1812.ReplyDelete
This brings forward an interesting point of historical debate. Were the Black Loyalists loyal to the British Crown? In most cases the simple answer is no. Many fought for the British in groups like the Black Pioneers, but this was done as a means to escape slavery rather than as an end in itself. The British "Loyalist" option was really the lesser of two evils. This proves itself true by the unjust treatment of the Black population once they arrive in Nova Scotia and the eventual departure of part of that group for Sierra Leone.ReplyDelete
African Nova Scotian author George Elliot Clarke has put forward the tern Africadian to describe the current Black population. Africadian is a mix of African and Acadian. For the group who arrived at the end of the American Revolution Historically this term is a bit awkward as it does not provide context to their arriving from America.
Should the truth be told, the term Loyalist may be incorrect for many parts of the Loyalist movement. While some people did in fact leave the American Colonies to remain loyal, others came to claim grants of land or for economic reasons. Loyalty often had nothing to do with the reasons the Loyalists arrived.
The Black Loyalists were really interested in their freedom rather than any sort of loyalty to the British. Accepting that this is true, I am interested to hear suggestions as to the proper name for this group.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ct healthy steamed fish is a snap! Since coming to the GA from the west coast, we haven't had steamed fish--until we found a Carbon steel wok and this nifty bamboo steamer in Cost Plus and thought "HEY! We can do it ourselves". How we used the product: Just last night, we tried steaming a whole striped bass for the first time the bamboo steamer over an inch of water in a 14" wok. Easy peasy prep: We stuffed the fish with thinly sliced ginger, green onions, and cilantro. A dab of olive oil on the skin, a few table spoons of light soy sauce, steam in high heat and 10 minutes later...we had a healthy delicious meal. Things that were great: The fish was fresh, soft, not overcooked, and fragrant. A + !!! Great steamer! Great products! Great customer servcice! May 3, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by maggie66 lot of ideal way to use Originally I was looking for tortilla warmer for Mexican dinner I make at home occasionally, However tortilla watmer with plastic is very look cheapy, not safe and taking a huge space for just for only this purpose. I always think before purchase that item can use other way? This certanly is! This is same size with usal big tortilla warmer 10"and not ceramic like heavy but you can also buy "Bread warmer" stone to make anything warm for long hours. 10 inch big but considering few different way to use is absolutely apprived welcome to my kitchen! 1. Tortilla warmer with bread warmer stone. (wrap with thin towel) 2. Bread warmer basket for any meal scene like small dinner roll. 3. Chinse stemer (of course) Vege and meat and everyting. 4.

Virga back to basics at Big Bob's
These days, Vinnie Virga, co-owner of Big Bob's Flooring Outlet NE, is putting in long hours and loving every minute of it. Since August 2011, when he and his brother Joe Virga signed an agreement with Big Bob's Flooring Outlet of America, Virga stressed, "I love going to work everyday."
The last time the brothers worked together was at their Father's furniture and rug business. Together, they have combined experience of more than 60 years. "I enjoy having Joe in the business and I enjoy having a legacy too," Virga said. We both have kids and they will be welcome in the business if they want to work for us."
The original 30-year agreement with Big Bob's called for the Virgas to open at least 17 stores in the New England Market and they are well on their way. So far, Big Bob's Northeast network includes three showrooms in Massachusetts — Auburn, Whitman and Seekonk and one in Connecticut — Manchester — that opened in September. The fifth store will open in November in Norwood, Mass.
"We're trying to grow aggressively," Virga explained. "We can steal a lot of market share with Big Bob's and are happy to re-invest and grow."
The time is right. "Real estate prices are low. We already own or are in the process of buying three of the buildings. There's a huge amount of business out there," Virga reported. "We expect to start opening a store every three or four months. There has never been a better time to open stores. If you are aggressive, there's money to be made."
The brothers take a personal role. "We both work in the stores," Virga said. "We don't bother with titles but I run the day-to-day business. If I'm not in the stores every day, I at least spend time in a store every week. It's how you stay in touch with what's working in your business.
Joe Virga handles a variety of executive roles at the company including overseeing all technical issues/questions on installations and product, running the installation side of the business, training of new employees, maintaining our pricing database, and more.
Building Big Bob's NE is a good fit for Virga. "I left a large corporate structure with a lot of politics. We're determined to build a structure that is flat without a lot of politics. It doesn't matter who the idea comes from—me, an installer or sales person—the best idea wins and we focus on service."
While acknowledging nuances in retail flooring, Virga said, "It's a simple business and we want to keep it simple. We have four stores right now with two executives and one accounting person. There are 22 direct employees on payroll and about 48 sub-contractors working as installers."
Big Bob's strategy fits. "As a franchise organization, Big Bob's makes a lot of suggestions but doesn't have a lot of 'have to's.' They give a lot of help, but don't charge a lot. It's a great program that works," Virga stated.
Working directly in the stores, dealing with customers and solving everyday problems has helped Virga get back to basics. "It has reminded me of what it takes to get things done. It is easy to forget the effort it takes to execute. It has re-affirmed for Joe and I that we can execute our beliefs and see that our core values and principles apply."
Virga has two essential values. The first is excellent customer service. "We delight in our customers and blow their expectations away," Virga said. "We want to treat our customers the way we want to be treated."
His second imperative is, "Take care of your employees. If you treat them well, they will treat the customer well. Make sure they understand your values and then let them make decisions. Too many rules turn off staff. We have no policy book. Our rules are simple and important. Take care of the customers. Do what you say. Treat installers with respect. No stealing," he explained.
Virga has skewed his Big Bob's showrooms more to the middle market. Achieving a 'wow' factor with more than a million dollars of stock at every store, Big Bob's NE offers a full range of flooring. "Carpet is about 30 percent of sales, hardwood is second with a huge amount of pre-finished sold wood sold and LVT is hot," Virga said.
Taking advantage of Big Bob's corporate agency for its advertising, Virga said, "We are on TV 33 weeks a year now and are expanding to 40. We have promotions. We believe in marketing. The Internet is a powerful tool," he stressed.
Virga's rapid growth strategy does have its challenges. "Capital can be a challenge and staffing is a challenge," he noted, adding, "Finding the right people was harder for the fourth store."
With experience in every aspect of the retail flooring business, Joe and Vinnie are bullish on the future. "We see a great deal of growth in the flooring category and believe we will continue to earn share from competitors like the big box stores and the liquidators as well as traditional flooring retailers," Virga said. "We fully intend to establish 30 or more stores in New England and Upstate New York and we're looking for great people — if you're interested."
Virga's experience in the flooring industry began with his Father at Discount Furniture and Rug Liquidators, and includes working at Carpet Giant, Marvin Berlin's New York Carpet World, serving as the president of Flooring America. Ultimately, he served as senior vice president of Retail Groups at CCA Global Partners, overseeing Carpet One, Flooring America, IDG and The Bike Group before leaving the corporate world to launch his own Big Bob's Flooring Outlet.

About every five years, the planets seem to align just right – at least for Michael Sherman, owner of the South Coast Army and Navy Surplus Sales store on West Coast Highway.
End-of-the-world prophecies tend to push his profits higher.
Whether that means misalignment of planets, the tides rising higher, the zombie apocalypse – or worse, the last page of the Mayan calendar – Sherman rests easy in the knowledge that he will still be there on Saturday to have another conversation with the next customer about the next anticipated disaster.
In recent months, sales of survival packs and gear are up by about 25 percent at his store. Bug-out bags or emergency kits are the hot-selling items, he said.
"With all the stuff that's going on these days, people are freaking out," he said. "The survival kit basically has what you need to survive for three days – water packets, matches and food."
Sherman's store is like a candy store for the paranoid.
Survival gear of many types from gas masks, waterproof cans and waterproof matches to booby traps and books on how to improvise in apocalyptic times line the shelves.
"Customers can put their bags together themselves picking and choosing what they want from what we have here," he said.
Sherman is hearing a lot from his customers these days
"People are talking quite a bit about the Mayan prediction," he said. "I'm also hearing a lot about the zombie apocalypse – the dead coming back to life."
Is Sherman afraid that he may soon walk into a world that may look like a scene out of the "Thriller" music video?
"Nah, I don't buy that stuff," he said.
It never hurts to be prepared with an emergency kit, Sherman said.
"But I've seen this a lot with Y2K and the days after 9/11," he said. "Once in five years someone has an end-of-the-world prediction. And every time, the day after, we're still here. We move on."

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns linebacker Scott Fujita will be placed on injured reserve with a neck injury, ending his stormy season.
Fujita, one four players suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, was inactive the past two games. He last started on Oct. 7 in a game against the New York Giants. Browns coach Pat Shurmur does not know if Fujita, an 11-year veteran and one of the league's most informed players, will retire.
The 33-year-old Fujita had neck surgery in college.
Fujita had his three-game suspension reduced to one by Goodell. However, Fujita was angered by a letter he received from the commissioner and harshly criticized Goodell for his handling of the Saints' situation and questioned his track record on player safety.

Reviews for Berry Patch Pie
"This was the easiest and most fresh, delicious pie I have ever made, not to mention healthier than most. Made for my sis and her daughter, & Not a single slice left after 24 hours!"
"This is the most delicious pie my boys and I have ever eaten"
"This is a great idea, but it didn't set up for me either. The second time I made it I used my normal strawberry pie glaze recipe and instead of putting strawberry jello in it, I used raspberry jello and it was fantastic!"
"Looks delicious, I made something similar this week with several different fresh berries. Are there instructions on how to make the star crust?"
"When the pie was cooling it looked liked it would set up really well, but once it was cut into the slices spread all of the plate. It still tasted very good, though."

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Roses
Garden Shopping by Mail and Web (page 3 of 3)
by National Gardening Association Editors
What to Do When Plants Arrive
Almost all companies will ship hard goods and seeds immediately upon receiving your order.
Unless you specify otherwise, live plants and bulbs are shipped at the appropriate time for your growing region. Most companies ship plant material throughout the year, but they will postpone shipping during heat waves or cold spells. Expect possible delays during those times.
Live plants require immediate attention, but don't panic if you haven't dug your holes and prepared the beds for the new arrivals. Here are some tips for temporarily (for a few weeks) holding plants until you're ready.
Store summer bulbs such as dahlias and lilies in their box in a dark room and mist the bulbs lightly to keep them moist until planting. Iris rhizomes can tolerate some indirect light. Store fall-planted bulbs such as tulips and daffodils in a cool, dry location.
Most perennial flowers, shrubs, and trees are shipped bare root (dormant without any soil on the roots and no leaves). When they arrive, remove the packaging except for the protective wrapping (sawdust, newspaper, plastic) around the roots. Keep the plants out of direct sun, and moisten the roots frequently. To hold plants more than a week, keep them in a shaded location and cover them with soil or soil mix. Cover the roots with any combination of compost, peat moss, or garden soil, and keep moist. A few hours before planting them in their permanent location, remove the wrapping and soak roots in water to reduce transplant shock. Don't worry if bare-root plants are slow starters compared with other plants. (For example, some trees may take until mid-summer to fully leaf out.)
The latest trend in mail-order gardening is shipping green or live plants in potting soil-filled containers. Roses, other flowers, herbs, and vegetables might be shipped this way. These plants tend to be more expensive than bare-root stock but suffer less from transplant shock. When they arrive, immediately remove them from their packaging, water, and place them in a protected area with indirect light. Plant them at the proper time for your area.
Enjoy the Garden
Most gardeners who have ordered through the mail have had positive experiences with the quality and timeliness of their orders. Catalog shopping allows you to spend more time enjoying the garden instead of hunting for plants and products. On the following pages you'll find some of us enjoying a small sampling of the many garden plants and products that are now available by mail.
Even though catalog shopping is nearly always safe and reliable, things may go wrong. If you have a problem, here are some steps you can take. First, call the company and explain your problem. Most companies will try to solve it on the spot. If the problem is not resolved over the phone, write to the company and send a copy of your letter to the magazine where you saw its advertisement. Another course of action is to contact the Mail-Order Action Line (1111 19th Street NW, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20036; 202-955-5030, www.the-dma.org, or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. The MOAL is funded by the Direct Marketing Association and may intercede on your behalf.

The date is March 25th, 2009. The city of Boston is empty. Not a single sound is heard. Well, if you ignore the screams of the countless people being massacred. For between the collasped buildings, overturned cars, raging fires, and rotting corpses, zombies feast. They feast on the thousands that foolishly believe they can escape. People running throught the streets, right into the legions of undead waiting to gourge on their innards. Soldiers foolishly believeing they will be heroes by fighting the unstoppable dead. This is taking place on year after the quarantine. Atfer billions of monsters invaded Boston.
One year ago, the city was peaceful. Flowers bloomed and buildings stood. There were no fires and there was only a few corpses in the street. But that would soon change. As night fell, screams could already be heard. The population dropped from one million people to eight hundred thousands in one hour. Everyone was completely caught off guard as millions of demons, devils, triffids, ghouls, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, youkai, espeically zombies, and some that had no name just appeared in the city and started slaughtering countless people. No one really knew why. One day later, the city was locked off by the Army, so no monsters would destroy any other cities. All hope was lost. The few soldiers deplyed werent enough. Everything was positive they would die.
Now, in 2009, the Bostonians decided they should start massacring the monsters(apparently they were sick of dying). So, some of the greatest mercenaires the world had ever known were summoned to the city. To destroy the monster menace that had plagued Boston. It would take alot of effort, and alot of hope.
Ok crappy post apocalyptic prolouge aside, this RP is the first RP that you will ever play in that you are allowed to God Mod. Now, I dont mean your character is the strongest thing in the universe, but they are pretty close to you. Your character will be able to destroy gajillions of zombies with a snap of their finger. Now, this power doesn't have restraints. The way you demolish hordes of monsters must be wicked cool. The way you massacre monsters must extremely cool and descriptive, and your characters must have a reason for being able to demolish everything in their path.
Swearing is allowed
No taking control of other peoples characters
Gore is allowed and I love it so use lots and lots and lots
Now, form time! *explodes with joy*
Everyone at first works for M.M.U (Monster massacre unit) but eventually can leave and work with the monsters. I dont care. Im tired.
Age: over 20
Speices: Nothing corny like half demon

estradiol acetate ring - vaginal, Femring
GENERIC NAME: ESTRADIOL ACETATE RING - VAGINAL (ES-tra-DYE-ol AS-e-tate)
BRAND NAME(S): Femring
Warning | Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
WARNING: Estrogens, either used alone or with another hormone (progestin), have rarely caused very serious side effects. Discuss the risks and benefits of hormone treatment with your doctor. Estrogens should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia.
Estrogens can increase the risk of cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer). Taking a progestin as directed by your doctor can help decrease this risk. Tell your doctor right away if you have any unusual vaginal bleeding.
In postmenopausal women, estrogens can increase the risk of cancer of the ovaries, stroke, dementia, and serious blood clots in the legs. Estrogens alone do not appear to increase the risk of breast cancer when used for up to 7 years. Estrogen, when used with a progestin, can increase the risk of heart disease (such as heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lungs/legs, dementia, and cancer of the breast/ovaries.
The risk for serious side effects may depend on the dose of estrogen and the length of time it is used. Therefore, this medication should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest amount of time. Discuss the use of this medication with your doctor and check with him/her regularly (for example, every 3 to 6 months) to see if you still need to take this medication. If you will be taking this medication long-term, you should have regular complete physical exams (for example, once a year) as directed by your doctor. See also Notes section.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded Soligenix a one-year $300,000 SBIR grant to support further preclinical development of SGX943 as a treatment for melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative bacterium that is highly resistant to antibiotic treatments. Soligenix will be conducting the studies with help from Tulane University.
SGX943, which was developed as part of a collaboration Soligenix made with Intrexon last May, has, according to Soligenix, been shown to be effective in preclinical trials against gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as well as against gram-negative pathogens. SGX943 is an innate defense regulator that can stimulate the immune system to combat infection while suppressing inflammation at the same time. The firm believes SGX943 has the potential to work well as an adjunctive treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections including melioidosis.
"Melioidosis remains a significant biothreat as well as a major life-threatening endemic disease in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia," Soligenix' president and CEO Christopher J. Schaber, Ph.D., said in a statement. "With this support from NIAID, we look forward to continuing development of SGX943 in melioidosis."

ZF-10643: Zend_Paginator_Adapter_Interface contains commented count()
Zend_Paginator_Adapter_Interface contains the method signature and docblock for count() but the signature is commented out.
This is irritating because an IDE would return the docblock for Countable::count(). There should either be a note in the methods or class' docblock why it is commented out, or the method + her docblock should be removed completely or the comment removed.
You can't redefine the count() method in the child interface when it has already been defined as abstract in the parent. It throws a PHP fatal error:
PHP Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function Countable::count() (previously declared abstract in Zend_Paginator_Adapter_Interface) in /Zend/Paginator/Adapter/Interface.php on line 31
The only solution is as to suggest - remove the commented method signature or explain the comments why it was removed. I've attached a patch to remove it.
Patch applied in trunk and 1.11 release branch.
