The Enterprise Services Repository (ESR) Content certification in its current version 1.0 focuses completely on the modelling and definition of synchronous inbound A2X services. Outbound services or A2A and B2B scenarios are not in the scope of certification.
A2X services are general-purpose services where the consumer (X) of the application (A) functionality is not pre-defined. They are requested for example for composite applications and for composite views. This certification does not certify the actual business functionality of the implementation. Nevertheless, linked to SAP's SOA methodology, some general implementation requirements must be fulfilled around fault message and log handling as well as service reliability.
Getting Started
The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) highly recommends that ISVs and partners, who are interested in certifying an integration of their product with SAP solutions, begin with our page Getting Started with Integration and Certification that explains the SAP ICC services and describes the process how to obtain them. This page helps you select the correct integration scenario and contains technical information, streaming media presentations, step-by-step guides, and much more.
News & Highlights:
You are invited to join our introductory webinars - hosted by the SAP Integration and Certification Center in regular intervals. For a schedule Sap Integration and Certification Webinar Series.

BOSTON - Sheldon G. and Dr. Miriam Adelson were among the honored guests when Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) dedicated the Keith C. Field CyberKnife Center, home to a state-of-the-art radiation technology for treating cancer.
The center, supported in large part by a $2.25 million gift from the Adelsons, houses a state-of-the-art robot capable of directing small harmless beams from 1,200 different positions and angles to kill cancer cells, sparing surrounding tissue while leaving patients free of cumbersome and uncomfortable devices that restrict their movement.
"To honor Keith's memory was very easy for us to do. He was a man that deserved recognition and honor in his life," Adelson said of his brother-in-law, who had been treated for lung cancer at BIDMC. "I've never heard anybody say that the care [at BIDMC] wasn't the best. So, I want to thank all the doctors and the hospital itself for providing that quality of care to people. Clearly, we want that care, not only for ourselves and our family; we want it for the whole community, for our friends and everyone in this community."
BIDMC is the first hospital in New England to offer this technology. CyberKnife functions as a kind of global positioning system to continuously track a patient's movement and the position and shape of the tumor before administering treatment. The real-time tracking feature makes it possible to treat cancers that move with each breath, such as lung and pancreatic tumors.
Compared to conventional radiosurgical devices that use a single, large uniform beam, CyberKnife releases beams that intersect and converge within less than a millimeter of the tumor or lesion site, sparing healthy surrounding tissue. Since the minimally invasive procedure doesn't require sedation or incisions, there is little recovery time or side effects.
Because CyberKnife's beam intensity can deliver three times the amount of radiation, patients who have previously reached the lifetime dose limit of traditional radiation therapy can receive additional treatment. Adelson is the chairman of Las Vegas Sands Inc., the parent company of the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas. A Boston native, he is the founder of more than 50 companies, including the Interface Group and COMDEX, which was the world's largest trade show. He is known worldwide as an entrepreneur, venture capitalist and philanthropist.
Dr. Adelson is a physician and research pioneer in the treatment of drug addiction. She is the founder and chairwoman of the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Clinic for Drug Abuse Treatment and Research in Las Vegas. She and Sheldon are also the founders of Israel's first hospital-based drug clinic. Their philanthropic activities include support and funding for the Hebrew Academy High School and Hebrew Community Center at the Milton I. Schwartz Hebrew Academy in Summerlin NV, and the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Campus at the Hebrew Senior Life Retirement Community to be built in Dedham, MA. They are also major donors and supporters of AIPAC, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, the Anti-Defamation League, and many other Jewish and non-sectarian organizations.
Mr. Field, the late husband of Gloria Adelson Field of Sudbury, had served as a corporate vice president of the Interface Group and had been active in many charities and organizations in the greater Boston community.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a patient care, teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and ranks fourth in National Institutes of Health funding among independent hospitals nationwide. BIDMC is clinically affiliated with the Joslin Diabetes Center and is a research partner of Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. BIDMC is the official hospital of the Boston Red Sox.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A pair of homeless women plotted to kill an Albuquerque man following a sexual escapade because they wanted his car and because "he tried to 'rape' them at his house," according to a criminal complaint.
Ashlee Gurule, 20, and Jennifer McKee, 18, took a bus Friday to the apartment of Maurice Gonzales, 51, where they smoked synthetic marijuana and performed a sex act on Gonzales before the women stabbed him with a "leopard print and pink" knife, the complaint said.
McKee told investigators that they got Gonzales to agree to meet them after sending him a text message and offering a "threesome." McKee said she and Gurule told police both had been to Gonzales' apartment a number of times and were tired of being homeless, so they decided to steal his car.
The complaint said Gurule stabbed Gonzales in the neck, then stabbed him repeatedly in the chest while McKee held down his legs.
Gonzales then "began begging for his life and asking the girls not to kill him," the report said. He even offered to give the women anything in his apartment and his silver Dodge Avenger, the report added.
But Gurule grabbed a "blue pillow" and placed it over Gonzales to suffocate him because "he was not dying," the complaint said.
His body was later found by New Mexico State Police after the women and a 16-year-old girl from Gallup led police on a high-speed chase neat Belen, N.M., on Friday afternoon. The body was found in the trunk of the car, and the women told investigators that they had planned to dump the body and burn it with lighter fluid, the complaint said.
Both women have been charged with murder.
The 16-year-old girl was charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Police say she was not at the scene of the killing but knew of the plot. The complaint said the 16-year-old waited for the women at a nearby McDonald's and later told police "she felt badly she did not stop them," the report said.
It was unclear if any of the suspects have attorneys.

Inventory to sell on eBay is closer than you think and it can be free. Look around out in nature for items to sell on eBay - many of these items are used as craft supplies or home decor. Depending on where you live, there are probably highly desirable items within walking distance from your home free for the taking.
Sea shells - Crafters love these for making wreaths, decorating candles, and making ornaments. Sell small shells in lots and larger shells on their own. Make sure you only take what is allowed from your beach. For example, many beaches prohibit removing sand dollars, starfish, and sea oats.
Driftwood - Natural home decor is a popular trend. Driftwood makes beautiful mirrors, wall art, candle holders, and wind chimes. Some lots of driftwood can sell for over $30. For fast and easy shipping, create your listings based on what will fit in a USPS flat rate box. Again, make sure it is ok to pick up driftwood from beaches before taking it home to list on eBay.
Gourds - You probably won't find these growing in the wild, but lots of farmers and country folks grow them, and they are available cheap at country farmer's markets and vegetable stands. Or, maybe consider growing your own if you are a gardener. This lot of 15 gourds sold for $107.
Tumbleweeds - Kansas has tons of tumbleweeds free for the taking. In fact, some people think they are a nuisance. Creative people actually buy these to make crafts, furniture, or interesting home decor. This tumbleweed sold for $16.99 plus $12 shipping.
Pine cones - Both large and small do well, and especially around the holidays when people use them to decorate for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Make sure they are free of dirt and insects before photographing and shipping.
Acorns and acorn caps - Again, these are popular for fall decorations. You can sell the entire acorn with the caps, or the caps alone. A lot of 50 large acorns sells for around $15 plus shipping.
Keep your eyes wide open for what natural resources are available to sell on eBay. Something familiar and plentiful in one area may be scarce and highly desired in another. You can be a supplier for a crafty person who wants exactly what you have in your backyard.

I have experienced some problems with my headphones and it turned out the front 3.5mm audio jack is defective..and it doesn't make a good contact. I can't replace the jack because it's built-in.
I am wondering if there are such things as "modular" Front panels to be inserted into the available external 3.5" bay and, of course, to support (natively, internal connector) Realtek HD Audio.
(my case is Asus TA-K5, but I guess it doesn't make any difference)

Daniel Waters' latest film, Vampire Academy, arrives on Blu-ray today, courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company. The film is based on the best-selling novel about a boarding school for young vampires. Daniel Waters is known for the critically acclaimed dark comedy, Heathers, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.
Vampire Academy was a box-office failure, but it may very well find an audience now that the Blu-ray is available. The film is rated PG-13, and stars Zoey Deutch and Lucy Fry.
Special features on the Blu-ray include an alternate opening, deleted scenes, and a conversation with the author of the novel.

Robert L. Stoll
For the February 14th, 2013 installment of the Joseph Priestley Society (JPS) lecture series Robert L. Stoll, partner, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP Intellectual Property Practice Group, and former commissioner for patents, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, presented "An Insider's View to the Implementation of the America Invents Act and to Practicing before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office."
As someone familiar with the inner workings of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), from a career spanning almost 30 years, Stoll had a unique vantage point to learn the complexities of the America Invents Act. Ending his government service as the commissioner for patents just a few months prior to his keynote, he discussed how patentees can better protect their valuable patents and how challengers can advantage their positions in contesting competitors' patents. He provided insights about what factors to evaluate when deciding whether to use the new "inter partes review" procedures and the "post-grant review" procedures or to go to the courts instead. He also talked about the tactics that would provide the best outcomes in both procedures. Stoll also detailed how the new supplemental examination procedures will function, and talked about the changes to inequitable conduct in the United States. Lastly, Stoll provided insight relating to some recent case-law decisions and tips about how to improve your chances of getting a good patent from the USPTO.
Robert L. Stoll is a partner on the patent team at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. As the former USPTO commissioner for patents, Stoll was instrumental in the passage of landmark patent legislation, the America Invents Act, and was lauded for his efforts to reduce patent pendency and improve patent quality. He has spent his career improving the intellectual property system and educating the public, applicants, corporations, and foreign governments on the criticality of intellectual property to economic growth and job creation.
The 2012 recipient of Managing Intellectual Property magazine's lifetime achievement in intellectual property award, Stoll has a deep understanding of domestic and foreign intellectual property law. He was instrumental in the development and analysis of legislation concerning all areas of intellectual property and was one of the country's leaders in establishing the U.S. government's positions on international issues related to intellectual property.
Stoll holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Maryland and earned his law degree from Catholic University while working at the USPTO.

The dolphins can go undefeated this season. Remember last year; Miami was in every game until the second half. Their whole problem now and in the past; since the retirement of the Great One; has been not scoring enough POINTS! You have to remember, no defense shows up for every game. So, this is why the offense has to assist the defense every week. If this happens; the dolphins can truly go UNDEFEATED!

According to Entertainment Wise on April 18, Selena Gomez has officially signed with a new management. Her original management was with her parents who she had previously fired stating she simply "out grew" them. Selena Gomez has made it clear that she is trying to go for a more mature look opposed to the Disney child star she is known as.
In her biography on IMDb, it is said that the 21 year old star began as "Gianna" on Barney & Friends in 2001. This is when Selena discovered her own talent. Once she was dropped after only two years, Gomez obtained a small role in Spy Kids 3-D in 2003 followed by a small part as "Julie" in Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire in 2005. Selena Gomez became known as Hannah Montana's "evil" rival Mikayla in 2006.
In 2007 she gained roles in two Disney spin-off series, one of which being Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. As her stardom grew, so did her talent. Since 2008 Selena Gomez has starred in Horton Hears a Who!, Another Cinderella Story, Ramona and Beezus, Monte Carlo, Hotel Transylvania, as well as other productions.
In 2012 Selena Gomez took a different turn in her acting career when she decided to star in the film Spring Breakers. It was around this time that she decided she wanted to slide away from the kid image to something a little more mature. Selena continued with this image while staring in Getaway in 2013. Currently she is working in two productions in 2014 called Rudderless and Behaving Badly.
Inquisitr reported on April 19 that her new representation is with WME and Brillstein. It is said that Selena Gomez plans to build on her more mature roles that she obtained in Spring Breakers, Getaway and Rudderless. Not only does she plan to evolve her acting career, but her music career as well. As for her personal life, it is said that Selena Gomez is with her on-again boyfriend Justin Bieber as they were spotted at Coachella together recently.

Interview with a Nutritarian: Helyn
I recently came across Helyn's success story on Dr. Fuhrman's Member Center, and her excitement for healthy eating is contagious! However, when she was first introduced to Eat to Live by a friend she didn't think she could ever eat foods without oil and salt. Now, over a year later, she can't imagine life without eating high-nutrient foods and the benefits of getting her health back! Welcome to Disease Proof, Helyn.
What was your life like before discovering Dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian eating-style?
I've always had a busy life and finding balance in my diet was insane. I was always searching for answers regarding nutrition. I'd taken a great interest in health and nutrition in my 20s. I read a lot of books and tried many different eating plans. I wasn't looking for weight loss, per se, but more for health in all these different diets. My "favorite" was the blood type diet because the author said that I should drink coffee! That's when I realized that something was seriously amiss. Deep down I knew that coffee was not a healthy substance, that I didn't feel well when I tried to eliminate it, and that I was addicted to it. How could it possibly be good for me?
After all this study and the many trials and errors I decided that I'd create my own diet, based on the things I'd learned. I settled into a regimen of eliminating red meat, most sugar, all processed foods and wheat. Yes, I still drank coffee!
Obviously my self-prescribed diet wasn't working, because I had slowly become borderline obese… 183 pounds! [I'm 5'5"]
How did you feel then?
I started experiencing ailments that I never had before, such as bursitis, which can be crippling. I had such pain in my hip that I couldn't walk for weeks. My mother said to me, "Welcome to old age. Do you want to borrow my cane?" What!? That was last year, and I was 56 at the time. My shoulder hurt, and I was not sleeping soundly. I was tired and felt bloated all the time. My blood pressure was high. At one point it was 190/118, and I was taken to the ER. They told me I needed blood pressure medication. I refused, because I knew that was not the answer.
How did you find out about Dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian approach?
I had heard about Eat to Live from a dear friend of mine. She even had me over for lunch to introduce me to "Fuhrman Foods", but when she told me that she didn't add oil or salt to anything she ate, I just "knew" I could never do it! I thanked her and went on with the same unsuccessful routine I was holding onto. But after the bout of bursitis, I thought about my friend again and decided that I'd read the book. This was it! I had finally found the answers I'd been searching for condensed into one book. I immediately started Dr. Fuhrman's Six-Week Plan and lost eight pounds the first week.
How do you feel now?
I feel exhilarated! I am pain-free, sleeping soundly, and my skin is smooth. I have a lot more energy now and weighing 40 pounds lighter is such a gift. My hair is growing like a weed, and I no longer have the beginning signs of fungus growing on my toenails; they now look exactly like my fingernails: thin, pink and healthy. That may seem trivial to some, but it's an example of how eating nutrient-dense foods can affect the body as a whole in positive ways!
Every day is such a blessing. I now enjoy healthy foods, and I'm excited for the future; knowing that I'll be strong and healthy for the rest of my life.
Do you have any success tip(s) to share with others?
If you are drinking coffee, wean yourself off immediately.
Read Eat to Live, and read it thoroughly so you make sure you understand the content.
Follow the Six-Week Plan 100%.
Find others who are becoming, or already are nutritarians. Some cities have meet-up groups. Find them or create your own.
Join Dr. Fuhrman's Member Center. It is so worth the small fee to be able to have a support group around you.
Purchase and watch Dr. Fuhrman's Immersion Excursion DVD set. There is so much vital information in these DVDs. You will know more than most doctors after you watch them. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and when you really know this information nothing can take you off this path.
After six weeks you'll be feeling so well that you won't want to change; however, chances are you won't be completely rid of some food addictions. To avoid falling for your old SAD (Standard American Diet) foods until your good eating habits have stronger roots I suggest the following:
Don't eat out! This is disaster in the making for a new nutritarian. Even in "health food restaurants" you'll be fighting with the menu over salt and oil, and the menu will usually win.
In the beginning, avoid holiday eating traditions, because you'll be so tempted to eat all the addicting foods that you grew up with. Dr. Fuhrman always has a "Holiday Challenge" for us. Accept the challenge and stick to the plan.
Create menu plans each week; otherwise, you may not have what you need on hand to make a healthy meal. I make my menu plans on Saturdays, before I do my food shopping so I know what to buy. Then in the middle of the week I replenish my greens.
Don't weigh yourself every day. Once a week is better, and don't stress about it.
Try new recipes and find healthy, new foods that you love. Create NEW traditions for yourself and your family. If you don't yet have a high-powered blender, this is a must! Invest in a VitaMix to create delicious smoothies.
In a nutshell, what has nutritarian eating done for you?
Nutritarian eating has given me the confidence that I'm feeding my body what it needs, and that I'm getting stronger and healthier. Growing old does not have to come with disease and dementia. With this comes a serenity that you can't put a price on. It's been one year since I started nutritarian eating, and I'm finally rid of my food addictions and toxic hunger. I can now taste all the natural flavors in my foods, down to the smallest nuances.
I'm now planning on becoming a Nutritional Education Trainer (NET), because I want to help others to achieve the same miracles that I have through this amazing adventure! I will start my studies next month, and I can't wait!
190/115 (highest)
123/79 (still dropping!)
145 (still losing!)
114 (after 3 months of nutritarian eating-- no recent recording)
Congratulations Helyn and keep up the great job!

Some of them want to eat your food, others eat your house and still others eat you and your family. What was once routine simple treatments and methods to repel common bugs like flies and mosquitoes, termites, ants and roaches, fleas and ticks has become a sudden struggle. Over the past few years these pests seem to be having their own baby boom. Maybe partly because their generations are becoming resistant to even our most expensive insecticides. What's more we are now battling new pests introduced by international trade and travel that have no natural predators aside from agitated human residents. Add children, pets and just going in and out of the house and it is a never ending concern to prevent infestation and protect our households from the bites, filth, parasites and disease all these buggers bring. It is further a concern to use the stronger pesticides that have been developed as they carry their own health risks. People are trying to find natural and non toxic ways to alleviate everything from dirt and illness to banishing these pesky moochers and biters.
I'm going to try to open the floor to a more current sharing of experiences and resources in which we may help each other with this concern. I will start with fleas. I have cats so it is a concern for me. Not so much because they bring the pests as they don't go outside, but because they become the meal for whatever gets inside and the poor kittens become very distressed. The flea population can grow quickly and go unnoticed at first. You don't want to get rid of your beloved pets but I bet you thought for a second that if you didn't have them you wouldn't have to deal with this. Let me warn you that just because people don't have pets does not mean they will remain immune to bug and insect attacks. Ever since a few years back people have been complaining suddenly that there were more fleas, and other bugs, than usual and even a manic combination of the traditional methods seemed to be doing nothing at all. Many people are getting eaten alive in their own yard and home after using the maximum dose of sprays, powders, drops and pills along with collars, and even multiple bombings. So let's work together to become the hunters we apparently need to be.
Understanding your prey is the key to becoming a good natural predator. I will discuss some things to know about fleas to help you calmly address the problem.
1) Fleas can jump only less than a foot from the surface they are on. You will likely see your pets on higher areas more often. Don't be too quick to discipline your pet for jumping up where they know better because they may just be trying to escape. If it happens a lot suddenly suspect fleas.
2) While you can also sometimes feel fleas jump on you or bite you and once in a great while you may actually lay eyes on a random one, there are signs that can give you a JUMP START on your flea attack.
a) If you see little tiny swirls and specs of black or red on bedding, furniture or on your pet's coat, it is called flea dirt and is mostly the blood the flea has consumed. An infested animal can eventually die from anemia and lack of nutrition due to the blood sucking and distress.
b) If you see "rice" where your pet sleeps or sits, these are tapeworm segments. The fleas usually carry the larva and when your pet eats the flea it eats the tapeworm larva as well. So even if you see no fleas because your pet eats them, which they cannot help because they lick and bite at their skin and coat when fleas attack, does not mean there isn't a flea problem.
c) Many pets have flea bite allergy, so if you see them scratching like mad it may not be fleas all over them but hives or other skin reaction to the saliva of the flea. If allergies suddenly hit you, even respiratory reactions, you may also have been bitten OR are reacting to the increased dry skin and dried saliva from your pet suffering from fleas.
These can all be signs and the symptoms are commonly treated long before fleas are suspected and responded to giving the fleas more time to populate.
3) Fleas are blind and light and dark is not so much a factor for them but they are heat seekers. If you think about the human temperature of around 98.6*, you realize that's a hot day if the weather man reported it. Blood is hot and the flea is equipped to find it's meal. Animal's average temperatures vary but still mammals and birds become beacons in the night, cooler weather or our air-conditioned homes.
4) A flea is flat. Its jump is propelled by a protein and not a muscular response. They move about sporadically and quickly and are difficult to catch or grab.
5) Their body is hard and has a sort of oil on it that protects it for some time from water and other chemicals. They can drown but it takes time.
6) Many people become frustrated when they do a treatment and a week later have fleas again. Remember a flea infestation is a cycle; a process by which the fleas become a colony. While a new flea must find blood within a week or die it may go 2 to 3 years without a meal thereafter before it dies. Some may die within a few weeks or months without a meal depending on their life stage. But knowing that the one you are starving today may be trying to feast and recolonize repeatedly over the next 3 years can help you understand what you are actually up against and why you must remain diligent to truly eradicate your household of fleas. A flea will lay around 5 eggs after eating and may lay a 100 per day.
Knowing these simple facts helped me. I had great concern when the only options I knew of were pesticides that are terribly expensive and toxic if to be effective at all. I settled on a few simple methods last year after some trial and error, that at first sign this season, I began to implement and so far so good.
CHECK AND BATHE YOUR PETS~First thing is a flea comb simply to pass it over each pet a few times to determine the degree of infestation. If there are a few fleas on the comb or jumping off of each pass, it is time to bathe my pet. This is to remove and kill the fleas and relieve them. I found that flea shampoo is not necessary. Dish detergent, NOT SUDS AND BUBBLES, but the actual soap removes the the oil armor from the flea and they drown much quicker. If you can drench your pet in the soap massage to the skin, hold them for about 5 minutes, (this is difficult because they are very slippery but I manage) then rinse completely, it will do the trick. Whatever it takes rinse well they will lick after the bath and you don't want them to lick soap residue. Here is a story on the gentle effectiveness on Dawn which I suggest you use http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127999735
VACUUM THE HOUSE~After I bathe them I put them somewhere flea free. A room in the house normally off limits or I just leave them in the bathroom, the basement, a pet carrier, the car or someones house while I go to work on the house. Next I mix peroxide and some dawn dish detergent in a spray bottle and spray the rugs. They should not be soaked but can feel kind of wet to the touch. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and spray again. Wait 5 to 10 minutes then vacuum. I put a more expensive flea collar in the bag/canister. Dead fleas come up and the flea collar will help to destroy any remaining live fleas and the larva and eggs. Vacuum and launder like there's no tomorrow. I vacuum every day for this process for about a week or so and also use baking soda or another popular non-toxic powder, diatomaceous earth, which you can get from some garden supply stores, before vacuuming, to help destroy larva and eggs each day.
FLEA TRAPS~Next I set up flea traps in target rooms (see the slide show to learn how to make these or there are store versions you can buy) and especially near where my pets like to lay. I mostly turn these on at night while I'm asleep. It's so gratifying to wake up and check the trap to see either all the dead fleas or to start to see less and less fleas indicating that my efforts are not in vain.
FLEA REPELLANT PET TREATMENTS~If you choose and your pet is tolerant you can find drops and pills at pet stores. I may treat my pet with lemon, garlic, cinnamon or yeast to help repel fleas. You can find articles about how to use these ingredients all over the internet, but generally I can use lemon oil in place of the pesticide drops between their shoulder blades, cinnamon instead of flea powder in their coat and garlic and yeast can be fed to SOME pets. Cats do not LIKE citrus and are themselves repelled by especially orange oil, but there are ways to make this tolerable for them including adding boiled lemon to a bath and simply dipping them. Please ask your vet if there are any concerns with these ingredients in regards to your own pet before trying them.
These simple ingredients and items have helped me manage fleas and other pests and my family and pet's health as it relates. Note that some of these ingredients can arm your household against other pests as well. Cinnamon, for instance, can repel ants. Knowing that mosquitoes are drawn to water vapor and carbon dioxide as well as the potassium in your body can clue you in on how to keep from getting bitten so much.
Oh and by the way, peroxide removes cat urine odor. I learned this after a feral male came around and sprayed up our porches. That hormone makes it something more awful than your standard litterbox content. Baking soda will break down the crystals and a peroxide wash will remove the smell. I also put orange peels in the garden.
Wiki info on the flea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea
This excerpt from http://www.vet.k-state.edu/depts/dmp/personnel/faculty/pdf/Persistent.Recurrent.Flea.Problems.pdf can explain the spread and span of flea colonies:
"C. felis also infests a wide diversity of mammalian and avian hosts. In North America,
hosts infested with C. felis include coyotes, red and gray foxes, bobcats, Florida panthers,
cattle, skunks, several rodent species, raccoons, opossums, domestic rabbits, and ferrets.
A survey conducted in Northeastern Kansas demonstrated significant C. felis
populations infesting urban wildlife.5 Cat fleas were recovered from 61.5% (64/104) and
21.6% (24/111) of urban-trapped opossums and raccoons, respectively. Pet owners often
blame their dogs' and cats' flea infestations on squirrels and rabbits because they see
these animals during daylight hours. But squirrels and wild rabbits are rarely, if ever,
hosts for C. felis. Pet owner don't often consider opossums and raccoons as sources
because they rarely observe these nocturnal animals traveling through their yards. But
when these flea-infested animals move through yards at night, they deposit flea eggs that
can serve as an infestation source for dogs and cats.
In other regions of the world, a variety of animals may serve as C. felis reservoir
hosts. In Hawaii, cat fleas infest up to 70% of the mongoose population.4 Infested red
foxes have been found in Germany and France.4 Various rodent species have been
reported harboring C. felis in Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Egypt. 4 Domestic rabbits,
horses, cattle, sheep, goats, various poultry species, and koalas have also been reported
infested with cat fleas.4
C. felis has extended its range into northern temperate climates despite its inability to
survive exposure to temperatures below 30.2 F (–1 C) for more than five days in any life
stage.6 So C. felis' survival during winters in northern temperate climates is intriguing.
Survival and maintenance of C. felis populations likely occurs through several
mechanisms: (1) Adults living on domestic and feral dogs and cats; (2) Adults living on
urbanized small wild mammals (such as raccoons and opossums in North America); (3)
Delayed development of immature stages in freeze-protected underground wildlife dens;
and (4) Delayed pupae development and adult emergence in the home environment.
The unique host range and C. felis' ability to establish populations in human
dwellings have allowed this flea to spread successfully throughout most inhabited areas
of the world and to constantly reinfest our urban environments. Even if we restrict pets to
an indoor environment or they rarely venture outdoors, fleas can find their way into our
homes. I have consulted on many flea infestation cases where outside sources introduced
fleas into a home. Outdoor flea infestations are common; they occur in crawl spaces,
under porches, and in other community areas that animals frequent (such as parks,
common latrine sites around apartments, and walking paths). Opossums, raccoons, and
stray dogs and cats that use these areas can deposit flea eggs that establish C. felis
infestations. Many times, fleas jump on a person's clothes and are then carried into a
house, where they jump off and infest indoor pets. While determining the validity of an
owner's assertion that the pets never go outside is difficult, even truly indoor pets can
develop flea infestations."

Transgender Workplace Diversity Network
Q: "I am applying for jobs, and I am unsure whether it is a good idea to include my previous name."
Answer: The answer to this question depends a great deal on the type of job you are applying for, how "out" you are, and whether your previous name is requested in an employment application. Firstly, if previous names are requested in an employment application, it is usually for the purposes of a background check. That means the employer is planning, at some point, on the possibility of conducting a background check through a security firm. Failure to reveal the information could be seen as a misrepresentation or, more accurately, a material omission. Where failure to reveal a previous name is not an attempt to conceal prior criminal convictions, I do not believe that it is wrongful, though lawyers may disagree on this question. Particularly where the job involves a security classification, such an omission would be viewed very seriously. At the same time, revealing a previous name may mean revealing trans status, and in some job sectors that may eliminate any chance of receiving the job. One has to balance the likelihood of not being hired because of revealing a previous name against the likelihood of not being hired (or later fired) because of discovery of the failure to reveal it.
Many jobs do not have a specific employment application, particularly in the professional sector, and there is no request to reveal prior names. In that case, since there is no specific request, there is less of an obligation to reveal a prior name. Nonetheless, a prior name may still appear on a background check. One of the likely pieces of information to reveal this is information about one's social security number, since a prior name may be linked in the government's database to the number. In the past, the government also had a practice of sending out "no-match" letters to employers, who are required to report employee names and social security numbers to the government. These no-match letters indicate if there is a discrepancy between the social security number and other information linked to the account, including gender. However, it was just announced in the past week that the U.S. government will no longer be sending no-match letters based on gender, so hopefully that is a thing of the past, as it often involuntarily outed trans employees.
Another item to consider is the fact that previous employers listed on your application or resume may be called to ask about your performance and dates of employment. If previous employers knew you by a different name, that may cause some confusion, and, possibly, a suspicion of lying on your resume, among potential employers. This is probably the most difficult hurdle to get over. One can try to forestall this problem in a number of ways. One is to contact previous employers and to explain the situation, noting that the new name will be used. This is a good possibility if the old employer appears likely to be fair-minded and they had a positive view of you as a former employee. Where that is not the case, another option is to tell the potential employer that you prefer not to have the previous employer contacted, either because you are still working there or because there was a personality conflict with a previous manager. The former will only work with the immediately previous employer, and not with older employers from years past because, obviously, you are no longer working there. The latter solution may raise negative implications about you, and that could also prevent you from getting the job. Another option is to delete the old employer from your application or resume, but that may leave an unexplainable and damaging gap in your employment history. While it is possible to fudge dates of employment, or to fabricate self-employment, dates of employment are easily verified by a potential employer and fabrication is a lie that may come back to haunt you.
Another possibility is the "two-step" process, where one initially submits an application or resume without the information and submits a letter separately to the HR department that indicates the fact of transition and requests that the information be kept confidential within the HR department as a matter of medical privacy. In larger organizations, with a strong HR professional function, that could provide some measure of protection.
While I believe that a trans person has a legal right to consider transition a medical matter subject to privacy laws, the problem is that if a potential employer finds an old name that outs you, and the employer wishes to discriminate on that basis, the likelihood is that the employer will simply fail to extend an offer and you will not know why. On the other hand, if one reveals trans status, and the potential employer indicates discomfort with that by words or deeds, that could create the possibility of a successful lawsuit. However, if what you want is a job, a lawsuit is scant comfort, and such suits take years and more often are unsuccessful than not unless there is evidence in writing of the discrimination. (Evidence in writing is not necessary for a suit to be successful, but it is easy for discriminators to deny having said something orally.)
Of course, if you are completely out, and/or dealing with a potential employer who is clearly trans-friendly, then the option of being completely forthright is much more appealing. I note that in obtaining my last position, as a college professor in a small public college in New Jersey, for which I applied eight years ago, I did not specifically reveal my old name or my trans status in my initial application. Information about my trans status was, however, easily available online. At my initial interview with the search committee, towards the end of the interview, I revealed my trans status and said I was doing so because I wanted to hear from them whether there had been incidents of homophobia or transphobia there, and whether they anticipated I would have any problems on the job from co-workers or students. Their answers gave me great confidence that I would not have problems there, that they were fair-minded in regard to my gender identity, and, fortunately, they were one hundred percent correct. While you might think that this job position was different from others, in that a college environment in the Northeast will always be more liberal than most other employers, I will tell you from hearing many stories from others over the past several years that college employers, even in the Northeast, are as subject to discrimination as any other. In addition, employers that one might assume to be discriminatory because of the job sector or the cultural environment sometimes are, in fact, fair-minded, as I have had occasion to hear as well through the stories of others. One has to judge the situation based on many factors, but I wish to note that being open and honest can result in employment of long-standing.
None of these options eliminate entirely the possibility of discrimination based on trans status. The best solution depends greatly on your specific circumstances.
Feel free to respond with a different answer, your experience, or another question. I note that my suggestions here do not constitute legal advice, and may not be best for any individual situation, which should be judged based on individual facts and circumstances.

JWC TO HENRY INGLIS; 23 November 1833; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18331123-JWC-HI-01; CL 7:43-46.
Craigenputtoch 23d November [1833]—
My dear Sir
I beseech you, do not estimate my gratitude for your letter,1 by the alacrity I have displayed in answering it. It was delightful to laugh with you again at anything, even a fellow creature's indigestions; and still more delightful to find I was remembered by you, while modestly supposing myself forgotten of the whole earth: I thanked you, then, from the very bottom of my heart; and would have told you so on the instant but for an inveterate habit of procrastination I have somehow acquired. Whatever is to be done, tho' it were but to sti[t]ch a button on my Husband's shirt; I must put off till "a more convenient season": and it is inconceivable what woes are thus originated,—just in that single matter of shirt-buttons, to go no further. "Females" that are fulfilling the end of their being, videlicet, "bringing up children," should be attentive to whip at the very first symptom of this tendency.
Why did you not come in Autumn, and make amends to us for the loss of Hunt? "Craigen-poo-toch" looked so well this year, and I felt so well, and could have enjoyed your company after a quite other fashion than thro' the last winter; when 'my memory was a long train of indigestions,—my prospects more of the same.'2 John Mill had to go to France; so we were disappointed of him also: and were thankful to Providence for the windfall of a stray American,3 'come out for to see whatsoever things were wise and of good report,[']4—from one end of Europe to the other. With such accuracy of investigation did he prosecute this object, that he arrived, by paths unknown, at the door of Craigenpootoch, which was, of course, opened to him with all the pleasure in life. To find the Christian charities inside, and even the Graces seemed to occasion him the most agreeable surprise. Carlyle had been represented to his transatlantic imagination, quite Teufelsdreckish,—a man severe—living in complete isolation, and partial barbarism: the Individual before his bodily eyes was shaven and shorn, overflowing with the milk of human kindness,5 und mit Weib im Hause [and with a wife in the home]; a blessing which the amiable American estimated highly—himself having lost it after an exceedingly brief trial.6 He went 'on-on'—and we saw him no more. Our next inmate was a broken-down Barrister7 who some years ago enjoyed the threefold reputation of a Scholar, Genius, and Gig Man; but who is now literally lying among the pots,—having made his last stand against the world, on a not too solid basis of whisky and water— He with a pretty pettish wife of the fine Lady sort, but also taking into whisky exhibited to us for one mortal week a specimen of that sort of company which is worse than none; which at Craigenputtoch of all places one is tempted to deny the possibility of. But they also passed on, and again all was silent and continues silent to this hour. Yet here in the midst of this almost fearful silence we are fixed for the winter—resolute to assert the superiority of mind over matter, by neither going out of our wits nor attempting our lives thro' the dismalities of the ensuing season. Would you but come at Christmas it were an act of Mercy never to be forgotten! But alas! you are "an ornament to Society in every direction"8 and society will not part with you, and you will not part with society to console suffering virtue in its Patmos— Yet it is better to be loved than admired—better to have one friend than one thousand acquaintances—I doubt if there be one individual alive, out of your own family, that loves [you] more truly than Carlyle does; or even than I do, which however is less to the purpose —yet who of your whole acquaintance sees less of you than we? This is not as it should be—I put it to your conscience, whether the 'infinitismal [sic] system' be a whit more rational in the practice of Friendship, than in the practice of Medicine? One meeting in the course of half a dozen years seems to me as great an absurdity as an ounce of salt put into the Pacific Ocean—and the Frien[d] must [su]ffer equally with the Patient under such a treatment. Will you come then? O do? I want to ask you about the amiable 'In-deeed' [sic],—about that fearful Epergne;9 and fifty things that you only understand the true essence of, and can satisfactorily describe to me. Come! and I will show you a caricature that you will never forget—and more—will give you a beauty of a teapot! I know it would do you good to revive your impressions of the contrast between this life and your life—to try how locusts and wild honey10 taste after the luxuries of civilized cookery[.] But if it caused 'an indigestion'? no fear! the only things a truly catholic "disguster" (such as yours is) "likes as ill as a piece iron" (borrowed from an Annandale lady who thus expressed her decided disapprobation of yew-cheese11) are stupidity falsity, and gigmanity. From these you cannot pray the good Lord to deliver you more heartily than we do. But I was to leave space for some story about books—and I am almost at the end of my sheet—Will you give my kindest regards to your sweet gentle wife—and a kiss for me to that poor babe who is likely to be mismanaged as his Mother, I take it, has not studied either Anatmony [sic] or Phrenology.
[TC's postscript:]
If you pass Cadell the Bookseller's12 shop, in St Andrews Square, could you step in and ask him if he have a Copy of the last Foreign Quarterly Review for me? Should he answer, Yes, then say that the way to send it is by addressing "Care of Mr M'Kie Bookseller, Dumfries," and leaving it at Oliver & Boyd's. Lastly that I will beg his Clerk to take note of this in writing, that he may not again forget it.— Why did you send me only literally an invoice? A Letter of two sheets could have come as easily, and had been a dozen times more welcome[.] Think of this another time.— Have you Beaumarchais' Works (7 voll.);13 or can you get them easily? M'Kie and Oliver & Boyd are my ready Carriers (every Monday) of all such things. Finally, is there any hope of you at Christmas? Not a gleam!—Ever affectionately— T. C.
[JWC's postscript:]
If my letter is worth nothing to you; at least it shall cost you nothing—I enclose it to the Advocate.

No Control
Shannon K. Butcher
2008, Romantic Suspense
Warner Forever, $6.99, 400 pages, Amazon ASIN 0446618667
No Control has a fast paced plot, a totally yummy hero, and a
villain who is so sick and twisted she made my flesh crawl. Normally
that would spell romantic suspense DIK for sure. If only the heroine
hadn't been so inexplicably secretive and downright TSTL.
Lana Hancock and a few friends went to Armenia on a good-will mission
to help teach children, only to be captured by a group of
terrorists who called themselves the Swarm. Swarm's members tortured and killed Lana's friends - and filmed it! - and planned to blow up a school full of children. They even had an expert in explosives with them, a big silent man named Miles Gentry. Just as Lana was about to be killed, Gentry slit the
terrorist's throat, grabbed Lana and ran with her to safety. Miles
Gentry is actually Caleb Stone, an undercover Delta Force member who couldn't help Lana until he finally heard that his team members had succeeded in stopping the school bombing. Although Caleb and his companions killed most of the Swarm organization, the ones who actually plotted the abduction and bombing got away.
Over a year later, Lana has mostly recovered but she is scarred both
outside and inside. She throws all her energy into the foundation she
started to help children in bad home situations. Fund-raising for the
foundation keeps her too busy to dwell on the past as long as she is
awake, but the nights bring terrible nightmares. One day, Caleb shows
up at her workplace. Caleb's superiors at Delta Force have information
that the leaders of the Swarm are planning something and they believe Lana might not have told them everything she knew when she was debriefed after her rescue. They have dispatched Caleb to go to Lana and see if he can discover what she knows. Lana has long forgiven Caleb for not helping her, since she understands the situation he was in and she is grateful to him for saving her life, but there's no denying that his presence brings back some terrible memories.
For his part, Caleb is tortured with guilt that he was unable to save
Lana's friends and that he had to see her beaten and her bones broken.
He tries his best to be unobtrusive and helpful and also to find out just what it is that she's hiding. It turns out that the secret Lana is hiding is a bombshell. Kara, one of the terrorists from the Swarm, is back and working as a volunteer in the after school program that Lana's foundation funds. Lana is frightened out of her wits, but she thinks if she can just be quiet, maybe Kara will leave. However, Kara is out to impress a man who is higher up in the terrorist ranks and this time she is going to complete the mission.
Caleb is a wonderful tortured hero. He knows, intellectually, that
what happened with Lana and her friends wasn't his fault, but since he
is a very protective man at heart, what he saw in Armenia hurt him deeply. He does all he can do to make amends to Lana and to get her to tell him what is bothering her. He isn't a caveman - he doesn't beat his chest and demand, instead he watches her like a guardian angel. He gives her some martial arts training and as she gets more confidence in herself, she begins to confide in him. Caleb understands PTSD and the scenes where he simply holds Lana are as tender and sweet as any I've read.
I found Lana a harder character to understand. I couldn't fathom why
she persisted in not telling anyone what she knew, even after she
realizes that Caleb is there to help and that he loves her. I tried
very hard to sympathize with her, and in some ways Lana is a very
likable character, but I couldn't get past her secretiveness. Yes, she has PTSD, yes she is scared, but Caleb is right there with her. Kara, a terrorist, is working with children, someone, (presumably Kara) shoots Lanas best friend and threatens her family - yet, still Lana persists in not talking, even though Caleb clearly can help, he wants to help, and he loves her! Inexplicable.
Kara, the woman who ordered Lana to be tortured and killed, is a sick
and twisted character without a political or social agenda. She is madly devoted to another terrorist and fervently believes that her evil acts will please him. She is a disgusting creature and by far the most villainous villainess I've read in some time.
Caleb and Lana have great chemistry as a couple, and even more so when
Lana finally talks to Caleb. The last third of the book moved so
quickly that people sitting near me probably felt a breeze from the
how quickly I was turning pages. If Lana had opened up earlier, and not been so closed mouthed, No Control would have earned DIK status, but Lana's TSTL behavior dropped the grade way down. Despite that, Shannon K. Butcher shows real promise. Her plots are tight, and her are characters are likable. Please, though, next time let them act reasonably.

Staying in shape never goes out of style and has enormous benefits for your physical and mental health. Fact.
However, if you've been exercising for any length of time, exercise can get boring. That's true even for fitness professionals. Hard to believe, right?
The fitness universe is constantly changing, and staying up to date becomes extremely important. This is why fitness professionals love conventions.
None are bigger and brighter than Idea World Fitness Convention 2014 in Anaheim, California.
Here on Examiner, some of the presenters have taken time out of their busy schedules to discuss the innovations that are featured at Idea World Fitness Convention 2014.
1. Get more from your core- Activmotion Bar
Robert Sherman- Activmotion Bar Master Trainer
"Disruptive Training with the Activmotion Bar is an innovative, yet simplistic program design of building more efficient movement patterns and increasing muscle activation using rolling weights inside a bar.
"You will immediately feel and hear the weight rolling inside the Activmotion Bar, creating a necessity for muscle to react to move efficiently. You will learn how to activate, integrate and react to changing force and be able to target core strength, overall balance and total body strength.
"Using the ActivMotion Bar will immediately increase the quality, control and strength in your body and you will be able to do more with less effort." Says Robert Sherman.

2. Start paddling - Stand Up Paddle boarding
"PaddleFit is a stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and outdoor fitness coaching program. We offer SUP lessons, SUP technique and fitness classes on both land and water.
"Our program is run through our 1000 coaches from 14 different countries that have gone through our educational program.
"If you have access to a PaddleFit coach, then you can go and take a PaddleFit Basic class that will introduce you to the sport of SUP and then you will be able to take some of the fitness classes.
"Getting outside is the best way to mix up your fitness routine and stand up paddling is a great full body workout" says Brody.
Now, that is thinking outside the gym. As an added bonus, you'll be able to show off your guns.
Sun's out, guns out.
3. Mind body connection- The Halo
Bob Andersen- Merrithew Health & Fitness™
"The Halo Trainer is a versatile, friction-fitting piece of equipment that can be used with or without a Stability Ball™ to regress and progress basic exercises which makes it a perfect tool for elite exercisers, the active aging population as well as for rehabilitation.
"Halo Trainer is simple and intuitive to use with its ergonomic handlebars ensure you will have proper wrist alignment and it provides great support while in motion.
"The great thing with the Halo Trainer is that it focuses on the quality of movement and also emphasizes the mind-body connection.
By working the mind and body in tandem, exercisers will have a greater sense of awareness and presence through their motions – it's a concept that should be applied to every single workout for better results, added safety and injury prevention," says Bob Andersen.
Staying in shape just became fun.

HOLY SH- thought this was a photo... stunned

I love the use of light and shadow, focusing the eye onto the building. I also love these kinds of photos that highlight the incredible architecture found in European cities and towns.
