OpenGraph: I have one object A on which I make two different action: B and C. Object has the same url to both action, but I want to set up different icon (og:image).
Is it possible?
yes, of course its possible.while posting the action, pass the object_url with image parameter which you can get and put within og:image tag in object script. for example if you use php:
posting the action:
let say object_name.php has objects meta tags:
if we follow the Open graph protocol, an Open Graph object is defined by one picture. But it exists a way to change the picture of an Open Graph object:
Define a default og:image for your object, because it's mandatory and when you post the activity you must add a "image[0][url]" property with the URL of the picture. The og:image picture will be overridden. Example:
Smita you forgot the cache. Once an object is registered the og:image is the once registered and not the new one. Of course if you use the Facebook debugger you will see a different picture, but it's because the Facebook debugger "rescrape" the object and reset data.

Knot Genie Teeny Genie- Puff of Purple
Knot Genie Teeny Genie- Puff of Purple handles like a dream. The fact that The Knot Genie isn't like traditional hair brushes goes way beyond the bristle side.
Guaranteed AuthenticGuaranteed Authentic
Folica is an authorized distributer of this product and guarantees its authenticity.Close
- The magic trick behind the Knot Genie is one we are happy to reveal. It all has to do with the different lengths of teeth on the brush.
- When brushing, they bend just right, to gently untangle the hair. And because of this lack of stress, the hair's cuticle stays unharmed... revealing the smoothest, shiniest hair you've ever seen.
- Handles like a dream. The fact that The Knot Genie isn't like traditional hair brushes goes way beyond the bristle side.
- Its unique cloud-shaped top fits the palm nicely, whether you're right or left handed.
- Which means it feels more like an extension of your hand than a grooming tool.
- And also means the brushing process is far more comfortable, gentle, and most importantly, done quickly. Voila!
Your life is going to get abundantly easier just by using a Knot Genie. Here are some ideas and hair-type specific tricks to make it easier still.
- Conditioner helps. Just like lock lubricant helps a frozen lock, conditioner helps the Knot Genie undo knots and tangles. Condition after washing, and then rub a bit of conditioner between your hands and work through wet hair before brushing.
- Go easy on shampoo. The better the hair's condition, the easier it will be to brush — even with your Knot Genie. So when working with hair that needs to be "washed" every day (like curly hair that can only be brushed wet), use shampoo only every few days and "wash" with conditioner the others.
- Start small go slowly. Hair that is extremely hard to brush (especially long or curly hair) should be sectioned before brushing. Use your fingers to separate a section at a time and then begin brushing against your hand, starting at the ends and working up to the roots. This will let you apply extra untangling pressure to the knots, without pulling the hair.
- Dry or wet? Thick, straight or wavy hair will shine beautifully after brushing wet or dry. But don't ever brush curly hair dry with any brush, including the Knot Genie. Unless, of course, you're going for that Bozo look.

How Many Grafts Do I Need For A Hair Transplant?Category: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) , FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) , Hair Density , Hair Transplant Surgery , Session Sizes
I am considering hair transplantation. How many follicular unit grafts do I need?
The number of follicular unit grafts you will need is dependent upon your goals and your level of hair loss. Hair loss can either be measured according to the Norwood Scale or the Ludwig Scale.
A good rule is to take your norwood scale rating and multiply it by 1000 (on the conservative side) to 1500 (on the liberal side). This will give you a good idea of how many follicular unit grafts you will need to achieve decent coverage and density. To read more about coverage verses density see the following Hair Loss Q&A Blog.
Keep in mind, however that the donor supply (the hair on the sides and back of your head where hair is removed for hair transplantation is finite. This means that a first-rate hair transplant doctor must make good use of your available donor. Those who are higher rated on the norwood or ludwig scale may have to sacrifice a bit of density to receive the coverage they want. On the other hand, a patient may decide they want more density in an area and decide not to transplant hairs in other areas.
Though numbers certainly are important, I have found that hair and skin characteristics make a big difference in order to achieve the illusion of density. Those with thicker hair, for example may need fewer grafts than those with thinner hair to accomplish their goals.
I recommend therefore, discussing your hair characteristics as well as the number of grafts with your hair transplant physician and how it will relate to accomplishing your goals.

im 28 years old.im affected by hair loss for 8 years. now everywhere on my head hairs are less and thin, scalp area is more affected so how many grafts i need and how much it cost. i want transplantation on full head to make my hairs dense. till what age it can be done.. is there any side effects?i have dandruff also for 8-9 years.

First, I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to ensure that the hair loss is a form of genetic balding and not caused by an outside factor.
Next, I would highly investigate preventive medications such as finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). These could really help stop and improve some of the hair loss.
Third, although it's difficult to estimate the number of grafts (without pictures), I recommend trying the hair loss learning center graft calculator:
This should give you a rough estimate of where you stand and how you would like to proceed.
Finally, the goal of hair transplantation is creating the illusion of density. You most likely will not have hair like you did as a child, but a skilled surgeon can create an excellent, cosmetically significant result. To find one of these surgeons, follow this link:
I hope this helps!

I have 2 questions.
1.) My hair loss didnt start at the temples but rather the temple points receded all the way to the part where the ears meet the head. Is this a strange beginning of recession?
2.) I've been receding since I was 16 and now, I'm 20, turning 21, do you think it would be reasonable for me to contemplate a hair transplant? I'm a norwood 2, but added with my temple points having receded all the way back.
David (TakingThePlunge) Says:

Truthfully, there is no "normal" way to recede. Balding can occur in many forms.
If you've completely lost your temple points already, there is certainly a possibility that further balding is in your future. In my opinion, you should consult a dermatologist and consider starting Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) as soon as possible.
Generally, hair transplant surgery is not recommended for patients in their early 20s. However, since your primary concern is restoring temple points, you may be a candidate. Your best option is contacting one of the pre-screened, high quality hair restoration physicians at http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com and scheduling a free online consultation.
Best of luck!

Barak Asks for More Time on Heroes' Condemned Homes
Defense Minister asks court to give him a one-month extension regarding demolition of homes in Eli. Netanyahu: heroes' homes won't be razed.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 1/13/2011, 9:52 PM / Last Update: 1/13/2011, 9:48 PM
Flash 90
Defense Minister Ehud Barak has asked the High Court for a one-month extension to provide an updated answer to a "Peace Now" motion against Jewish homes in a Samaria neighborhood. The homes that were slated for demolition based on the motion include those of two fallen war heroes, Maj. Roi Klein and Maj. Eliraz Peretz, in the Yovel neighborhood of Eli, in Samaria.
The Defense Ministry's request says that Barak, as well as the IDF and the police, are checking possible alternatives to the demolition of the homes and that the matter will be brought before Attorney General Yehudah Weinstein.
Barak told the court that the Defense Ministry and the IDF have been conducting a detailed survey of the land upon which the homes stand, to determine what part of it, if any, was not legally appropriated.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the matter Thursday morning in a Industrialists' Federation convention in Tel Aviv. He said he would not let the homes of widows Shlomit Peretz and Sarah Klein be torn down. "This is a matter of common sense, and I will not allow the demolition of the homes of these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the security of Israel."

Clarifying Some Misconceptions About Trusted Extensions
By Glenn Faden-Oracle on Oct 10, 2006
Solaris Trusted Extensions is in beta, not well tested, not present in any released (and supported) Solaris and also has not been evaluated (http://niap.nist.gov/cc-scheme/vpl/vpl_type.html#operatingsystem ).
Solaris 10 is currently under evaluation for CAPP and RBACPP (http://niap.nist.gov/cc-scheme/in_evaluation.html#s ) and has apparently not started LSPP. SELinux, on the other hand, has been released in at least 2 commercially supported distributions (Red Hat and Engarde), and in several community supported distributions. Red Hat has EAL4+ in CAPP and is currently in evaluation for LSPP and RBACPP. SELinux is pretty far ahead of Solaris and Trusted Extensions with regard to evaluations.
Since Red Hat has not yet released any system that supports an MLS policy, it seems presumptuous to assume that the RHEL5 evaluation is ahead of Trusted Extensions. Having been through six evaluations, I know you can't predict how long these evaluations will last.
There are also some fundamental changes between the Trusted Extensions implementation and Trusted Solaris. Since Trusted Extensions has abandoned fine grained labels in favor of labeled zones it is difficult to specify specific interactions applications running in different zones can have on one another, more on this later. (This is my understanding of Trusted Extensions, please correct me if I'm wrong).
Since zones are course grained and the only way for them to interact with one another is over network sockets this architecture is not possible.
One might be tempted to do one of 2 things. The first is to put the agent and the applications in the same zone. This breaks the security goal since application servers can then interfere with the agent and the other applications. There is no way to separate any part of the architecture and you've gained very little (if anything).
The global zone is effectively unconstrained. Any service running in it can affect all the other zones.
Furthermore, in Trusted Extensions, port polyinstantiation and namespace isolation prevent the global zone services from interacting with non-global zone clients unless explictly specified as multilevel services.
This in itself violates the security goal since the applications (whether they are in their own zones or not) have no integrity assurance. An exploit of any application running in the global zone can affect the applications (and therefore the data).
In SELinux the passwd command is allowed to write to the password file but it can't, for example, write to user home directories or use raw devices or use the network. This level of granularity for confining trusted applications is necessary to ensure integrity of any application running on the system.
There is always a trade-off in the design of any system. Clearly SELinux provides additional controls that are not available in Trusted Extensions. The Trusted Extensions team learned from its experience with Trusted Solaris that simplicity is an essential component of security. With that understanding, we used a straight-forward approach to provide strong mandatory controls while minimizing complexity and overhead.

Casino snakes, which are made up of slithering rumors with fangs and a venomous bite pulled out of thin air, are buzzing online today much to the dismay of the casino. Rumors of snakes at a Pennsylvania casino can't be good for business, so this may be why the folks from Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem are actively squashing those rumors, according to Fox News on Jan. 28.
Julia Corwin, the spokesperson for the casino which is snake saturated via rumors, reports there hasn't even been one sighting of a snake, never mind several as online rumors might have you believing.
She reminding folks via the media that the presence of security cameras throughout the establishment would have picked up the slithering creatures if there were any around as being suggested online. This rumor started with an online story.
The Facebook rumor claims that a girl had some type of an irritation on her leg and visited her doctor, who immediately labeled it a snake bite. He then asked her if she had been at the Bethlehem Casino.
If the casino's word that there are no snakes in the building isn't enough, then how about the state police? The PA State Police operate a substation at the casino. Trooper William Ortiz reports "absolutely zero snakes" inside.
There you have it, the casino offers a snake-less gambling experience!

According to Thursday's Bay News 9, officials who executed a search warrant at a Bradenton, Fla., animal sanctuary discovered multiple shallow graves on the property.
On Wednesday, following a weeks long investigation, deputies with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, veterinarians and animal services officials, seized upwards of 300 animals from the Napier's Log Cabin Horse and Animal Sanctuary, a self-described "No-Kill," non-profit animal sanctuary.
Many of the animals on the property were in poor health - approximately 12 dogs were in such poor condition that they were humanely euthanized.
Eight dogs were found in a shallow grave on the property and it is unclear if there are more which have yet to be found.
Conditions inside of the residence were said to be "deplorable," with urine and feces covering much of the home.
According to My Sun Coast News, the individuals who ran the sanctuary are being investigated for animal cruelty and fraud.
Donations of food and supplies and/or inquiries about these animals can be directed to the Sheriff's Office at 941-747-3011, ext 1151. Adoption inquiries can be directed to: Manatee County Animal Services at 941-742-5933.

Hemant Mehta, Friendly Atheists, Trick Church Pastor into Bogus Church Sign
Just look at it. Take a good eyeful at the left, because you shall now see evidence that atheists are taking their political tomfoolery into our churches! My middle name is Anger if my first name is Wrath right now, because this makes me angrier than every time I read my favorite part of the Bible, Sodom and Gomorrah and how they refused to obey natural law and order!
But just like the children of the two cities of homosexual pleasures, atheists revel in their flagrant disobedience to God. At their midnight rituals, they widly shake their heads two and fro, naying and grunting as they thrust at each other under the midnight moon of gules, trying to energize themselves for their continued fight to ruin the final Earth days for us kind Christians.
There is one Archatheist named Hemant Mehta. With but a flicker of his pen of prose, he's been able to ignite atheists into rioting crowds against us good, friendly Christians. Look at him and his comrades plot to 'buy out' the messages of our Sunday morning church signs! He's tricking Americans into thinking that atheists are friendly, even though they are not friendly to their Lord and Savior. How can anyone love or be friendly, if they do not have a place in their heart for the greatest lover of all time, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Only someone with the pull and powerful monetary resources like Hemant Mehta and his friendly atheists coalition could pull this off. They have clearly shown their power by making a church claim God loves a friendly atheist over a hateful Christian. There is no such thing as a hateful Christian! If this were only 500 years ago, I would climb upon my steed and demand anyone who claimd so be drawn and quartered, then thrown into the town gallows so their bosom's remains would stand as a festering warning of what happens if you dare disagree with my gentle and moral beliefs!
But those times are long gone my friends. Gone are the days we can rap an atheist or any other sinner on the behind and give them a little punishment, for crimes of disobeying our interpretation of the Bible and even worse trying to recruit others to think like them instead of us. These are truly cruel days and evil hours.

illustrazione contemporanea
I was born in Venice, Italy, where I still live and work, on dec.28th, 1962. Although I briefly studied painting and etching at the venetian 'Accademia di Belle Arti', and I attended an illustration course at the 'Chelsea School of Art' in London, UK, I think those moments are only parts of that wider experience of the world influencing my works, and I consider myself a self taught artist. After various working experiences, ranging from ship-boy on a cargo to army officer, in 1988 I started my career as an illustrator and since then I have been involved in any kind of illustration work, in Italy and abroad. my works have been awarded by the italian and british associations of illustrators, and have been published on 'american illustration' 27 and 28, luerzer's archive '200best illustrators worlwide' 2008 and 2009, 'illusive' contemporary illustration 3, 2009.

Matt Crafton claimed his second win of the 2014 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season Friday night with his victory at Texas Motor Speedway near Fort Worth. It marked the first multi-win season of Crafton's long Truck Series career. He remains the only series championship-eligible driver to pull into victory lane this year, as all other races have been won by Sprint Cup driver Kyle Busch. Also, Crafton reassumed the championship points lead, leading by 11 points over ThorSport Racing teammate Johnny Sauter.
Timothy Peters had taken the points lead from Crafton the previous weekend at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. Heading into the Texas race, Peters had a one-point lead over the ThorSport teammates of Crafton and Sauter, who were tied for second. Peters encountered trouble in the Texas race, though, at one point spinning in fluids laid down by the truck of Red Horse Racing teammate German Quiroga and at another point in the race, suffering a tire issue. As a result, Peters dropped from the points lead to fifth in the standings. In additions to Crafton and Sauter, Ron Hornaday and Ryan Blaney also jumped ahead of Peters in the points standings.
Here's a look at the championship points standings after six races:
1. Matt Crafton, leader
2. Johnny Sauter, -11
3. Ron Hornaday, -23
4. Ryan Blaney, -25
5. Timothy Peters, -27
6. German Quiroga, -32
7. Ben Kennedy, -33
8. John Wes Townley, -34
9. Jeb Burton, -47
10. Joey Coulter, -55
With Kyle Busch winning for of the six races, so far, this season, from behind the wheel of the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, the No. 51 leads the way in the Camping World Truck Series owner points standings with an 18 point lead over the No. 88 ThorSport Racing Toyota driven by series regular and driver points leader Crafton.
Aside from Busch's No. 51, the other two trucks not driven full-time by a single series regular that's in the top-10 of the owner points standings are the No. 8 SWM-Nemco Motorsports Toyota shared by father/son duo Joe and John Hunter Nemechek, 33 points out of first in fourth spot, and the No. 19 Brad Keselowski Racing Ford that has been driven by Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick. The No. 19 is eighth in the Truck Series owner standings, 48 points out of first.
Here's a look at the top-10 in the Camping World Truck Series owner points standings:
1. No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, leader
2. No. 88 ThorSport Racing Toyota, -18
3. No. 98 ThorSport Racing Toyota, -29
4. No. 8 SWM-NEMCO Motorsports Toyota, -33
5. No. 30 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet, -41
6. No. 29 Brad Keselowski Racing Ford, -43
7. No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota, -45
8. No. 19 Brad Keselowski Racing Ford, -48
9. No. 77 Red Horse Racing Toyota, -50
10. No. 31 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet, -51

I'm curious to know if anyone has productionized this or similar opensolaris memcached configuration. I'm looking for references as well as additional mass for support and expertise exchange.

The difference had nothing to do with any user-level code but rather the networking stack and 10g driver differences.

Is there any idea of the reason for this difference in performance? What other types of workloads should be expected to show 25% better throughput on Solaris? Is it in the ethernet driver? Is it in socket handling, or event management (event ports vs epoll)? Is it in some other mechanism which memcached makes heavy use of, maybe in hash creation?

First, Cool Stack is obsolete - it has been replaced by Web Stack. Secondly, the newest Cool Stack releases (1.3.x) included SMF support, so none of this is required. But please upgrade to Web Stack.

That is strange. Basically, what the graph shows is that both 1.2.5 and 1.3.2 get nearly the same performance with a peak of 470K at 4 threads. After that, throughput falls a bit to 8 threads.

I am very interested in your initial objects. As you mentioned, you have 3 kinds of objects.
 \* small objects (4-100 bytes) to represent locks and query results
 \* medium objects (1-2 KBytes) to represent thumbnails, database rows, resultsets
 \* large objects (5-20 KBytes) to represent whole or partially generated pages

 But could you tell me the details about the count, size distribution , expiration distribution and the loading sequence?
 Thanks

If what you're asking is whether Memcached can be extended to use ZFS as part of it's cache, there can't be much benefits of using a straight ram-based ARC (in which case you might as well give that memory to memcached directly), but there could be benefits in using the ZFS L2ARC which uses SSD's to cache additional data behind the regular ARC, reducing the need to go to disk. This can dramatically increase the size of the memcache at the same time allowing ZFS to provide a backing store for the cache.

Are there performance benefits of using memcached over regular ZFS ARC ?

Do you know about Brutis - http://code.google.com/p/brutis/

Be interesting to see what the server performance looks with Brutis.

The server had 2 quad-core Nehalem processors with hyper-threading enabled, so kind of like having a total of 16 threads/cpus.

How many core do you have ? If it is 4 or 8 , any idea of what it could give with more cores ? I wonder if the step in the curve only comes from memcached locking.

Yes. But I believe that EHCache and memcached are for different types of applications.

It would be interesting to compare the scalability with Memcached.

Thank you for experimenting and your posting was really great.

And the fact that it is a great solution for web2.0 applications is a great news.
 And about the Nehalem Servers, though Nehalem is a new architecture, it is still built on the same 45nm process that debuted with Penryn, it provides a high performance and an excellent power usage which is 30% lesser than the former.

Sorry, that was obviously a typo in my last comment. Running "gem list --local" does not show mysql in the listing.

While I'm still confused as to why mysql doesn't show up in the list, my Rails app is apparently able to now access that gem. My issue earlier was related to a path error. I explicitly called the CoolStack version of mongrel_rails to load my app, but it was pulling a non-CoolStack version of the mongrel_cluster I believe, from /usr/local, which in turn failed to load the CoolStack mysql gem. Changing my path variable to default to /opt/coolstack instead of /usr/local ensured I was always accessing CoolStack resources and fixed my problem.

Definitely a good shoot. Audrey looked lovely. I just expected a little more of the "flogged" off clothespins. I have seen vids where they target each clothespin and knock them off. That or using the "zipper" to remove clothespins in one shot. I have definitely seen the latter on kink - not sure if the former was here - but certainly doable. Otherwise a nice shoot.

Published October 10, 2008
If you check out Friday's edition of The Vindicator, you'll be greeted by five people we hope you see a lot of in October.
The Undecideds.
This is indeed a special election. What the last two presidential elections have shown is that the election will not be decided by the masses.
The election will be decided by the few — namely the independents and the undecideds.
Awhile back, a New York Times poll put Ohio as one of the key up-for-grab states. And in being up for grabs, the poll identified the race as an even split among 87 percent of the state — leaving just 13 percent of Ohioans as the ones who will decide which way Ohio goes.
Pretty cool breakdown.
Among those 13 percent are our 5 Undecideds: Brandi Williams, Mary Lou Hoon, Larry Tropepe, Bill Sutherin and Greg Mook.
With this project, we hope to provide the community a special experience in the final weeks of this historic election.
Through the "Undecided" project, we are turning to these 5 people to allow readers inside their heads and hearts as they make their way to the November election.
We met this week at Youngstown Sports Grille, and the first session exceeded expectations.
When you hear them talk about the life experiences they will bring to this vote, they are more than just the 13 percent of Ohioans — they are Ohioans.
Larry just lost his banking job.
Mary Lou's brother died a few years back, in part, she says, because he had to choose between putting food on the table or buying medication.
Brandi would like a second job to make ends meet.
And that was just Week 1.
In the coming weeks, we will explore more these issues and more.
In addition to the stories, we will feature online some video highlights from the sessions, as well as a blog the five will generate.
The concept has even earned the interest of British and Australian broadcasters, who will join us in the coming weeks.
Welcome to The Undecideds ...
To the Undecided:
A thought for the undecided voters in Ohio and elsewhere who might ready Vindy.com (please share the link):
The Democratic candidates cannot take away our guns. And the Republican candidates have been unable to stop abortions through legislation. Please don't cast your votes on the basis of who shouts loudest about "Pro Life" and "Pro Guns." Neither group can outlaw abortion. Neither group can outlaw guns.
Looking for a candidate that is family friendly? Consider that "Family values" means a lot more than advocating the use of law to prevent abortions. Candidates who spout "family values" should not have voted in favor of laws that benefit corporations and the rich at the expense of common citizens (think bankruptcy reform). Family values candidates should be helping Americans work together to solve the health care crisis (instead of letting the insurance industry lobby divide us). Family values candidates should not allow economic dogma to prevent the government from coming to the aid of families who can't move out of the way fast enough when "free market forces" create a tsunami of joblessness in our basic industries.
Family values means advocating policies that protect and nurture families instead of allowing economic predators and social predators to prey on families.
Finally, if you are still undecided:
Before you help determine the future of our country and our world, please go to your local library and spend at least fifteen minutes with Jim Wallis's best selling book "God's Politics."
Yours in Christ

Currency Market: US Dollar Index Grinding Lower
Cody Tafel
The US dollar just can't get going on the upside, although emerging market currencies are lagging.
The US Dollar Index has remained under pressure to close at new eight-month lows at the end of Q3. It is now flirting with the 80 level, and a break of that would bring prices not seen since February. The new headline risk surrounds this government shutdown debacle, although so far it looks like the US Dollar Index is trying to hold the intraday lows set a couple weeks ago during the Fed announcement. The trend is clearly lower for now in the USD, but I am really starting to wonder if this is a shakeout of the weak hands, and maybe the US dollar actually rallies after the shutdown scare passes and QE starts to taper off, which we know will have to happen eventually!
Click to enlarge
One thing that has recently caught my attention has been the continued weakness in emerging market currencies. Even with the USD weakness against the major currencies, some emerging market currencies are actually down against the USD over the same period of time, and especially since the Fed announcement a couple weeks ago. The Mexican peso is a great example as you can see in the chart below. It rallied right up to 200-day moving average resistance on the Fed announcement, and immediately failed and rolled back over. There must be something wrong if the peso can't rally against a weak US dollar, and this is exactly the type of market I want to be short. I would look to add short positions against the Mexican peso on any rallies back up in the .0775 range. See the setup below.
Click to enlarge
Another emerging market currency that acts even weaker than the Mexican peso is the South African rand. This currency was not even able to rally up to the 200-day moving average resistance after the Fed announcement, and actually looks like it is close to breaking to fresh 52-week lows. Again, this is not positive action if a currency hasn't been able to rally against what has been a very weak US dollar market since the Fed announcement. I would look to add short positions against the South African rand on any rallies back up in the 0.1000 range.

Good luck out there! It should be an interesting Q4!

Your kids may end a week at this camp stronger physically – and mentally. With a healthy twist on the traditional summer camp experience, Camp Insight aims to provide kids with much more than the skills to create a macaroni necklace. While immersed in a fun, active environment, campers will take part in a variety of activities designed to teach important life skills such as confidence, patience, self-control and how to make healthy choices.
Presented by Insight Learning & Wellness Center, Camp Insight is open to children aged six to 12 during the weeks of June 14 - 25 and August 9 - 20. The camp is offered five days per week from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and meets at the Insight Wellness facility at 25901 Emery Road in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
Directed by Michelle Martin, licensed school psychologist and founder of the center, the camp will provide children with fun activities that exercise and energize the mind, body and spirit. Campers will take part in movement, art, music and positive psychology exercises to build confidence, self-awareness and focus. Camp lessons are designed to help children learn to concentrate to improve school performance as well.
"While having fun and without even knowing it, the children learn patience, focus and how to calm themselves," said Martin. "Through fun, interactive activities they develop important social skills and positive behaviors. Most importantly, they discover wellness habits that will serve them throughout their lives."
"This doesn't feel like a camp, it was much more fun, like an adventure," said Matthew Morrissey, age eight. "I loved the cooking and art and got to do it the way I wanted to. Every day was better and better!"
Unlike camps led by high school counselors, Martin has assembled a strong team of experienced professionals who will guide campers through a range of activities designed to build character and self-esteem. The camp's staff includes school psychologists, certified yoga instructors, musicians, Tae Kwon Do instructors, an art therapist, professional artist, counselor and reiki master.
In addition to learning exercises that increase physical strength, stamina and flexibility, campers are inspired to be creative, peaceful and empathic towards others. They explore productive conflict resolution and learn tools to alleviate stress.
"The camp was just a week, but it had such a lasting impact on my son," said Maribeth Morrissey, Matthew's mother. "He came out of there more confident and happy. Every school should follow the guidance of Insight Wellness in how they teach, inspire and love the kids. I recommend them to all my friends with children. Michelle has an amazing gift and talent with kids. She helped Matthew work on his strengths and challenges from day one. I am so grateful and thankful to have found Camp Insight!"
Camp Activities
Camp Insight encourages the creativity to flow as campers learn healthy skills to stretch their mind, body and spirit in new ways. Campers will experience Tae Kwon Do, Yoga and Qi Gong (Tai Chi), art and music classes. The group will explore nature through guided hikes and take part in challenge games that teach campers to cooperate and solve problems creatively.
Through meditation, guided imagery and visualization exercises, children will learn relaxation techniques and ways to focus on their goals and bring out their best. Campers will experience positive psychology techniques such as EFT to help them learn constructive ways to process the stress of life and turn problems into opportunities. The children will also learn how to make healthy snacks and the importance of good nutrition.
Space is limited. To register, call 216.765.4470. For more information on Camp Insight or Insight Learning & Wellness Center, visit www.insightwellness.org.

"Dear Steve,
I have been jobless for over 6 months now and have used up my savings to continually pay my credit card debts. My wife is the only one working right now. Since we have used up our savings we can no longer keep up to date with our monthly obligations from mortgage, credit cards and student loans, not to mention our household needs such as groceries and utilities.
I think that debt relief is one option to get us out of debt before doing the last recourse of filing bankruptcy. Since there are many debt relief agencies out there, we don't want to fall into the hands of the scammers, which will only worsen our situation. What legitimate and reputable debt relief agencies can you recommend that should be good for our situation? I live in Illinois.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Dear Lester,
Well you've learned a hard lesson about what happens when you spend down savings to deal with debt. Now that you are out of savings, the debt problem is still there. It's just been pushed into the future.
The most alarming thing you said is that bankruptcy should be the last option. The reality is that in many situation bankruptcy should be the first option to consider.
Many discount bankruptcy incorrectly as a last option but it is the only debt relief option that gives you any legal power over your creditors or the ability to discharge your debt quickly and start over.
Discounting bankruptcy without knowing the facts puts you at a disadvantage based on assumptions and fear. Let's deal with reality here and make the best decision you can based on facts and information.

LUBBOCK, Texas - It's official. The home of the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team is now Jones AT&T Stadium. Representatives from Texas Tech University and AT&T Inc. today unveiled the new stadium name and logo during a brief ceremony at the facility. The new name results from SBC Communications Inc.'s 2005 acquisition of AT&T Corp. and its decision to retain the AT&T name.
While the name will change immediately, replacing signage inside and outside Jones AT&T Stadium will continue through mid-August, with all new signage scheduled to be installed in time for the Red Raiders Sept. 2 home opener against Southern Methodist University.
"It's difficult to overstate the contributions that Ed Whitacre, John Montford, and AT&T have made to Texas Tech and to the Lubbock community," said Dr. Jon Whitmore, president, Texas Tech University. "Thanks to AT&T, we are stronger academically and more competitive in Big 12 athletics. We believe that having the AT&T name on this facility will only enhance our reputation in the Big 12 Conference and across the country."
"AT&T is one of the world's most recognized brands, and we are excited to call Jones AT&T Stadium home to the Texas Tech Red Raiders," said Texas Tech Athletics Director Gerald Myers. "We are pleased to welcome the new AT&T brand as part of our stadium name in recognition of AT&T's leadership on our stadium renovation."
Jones AT&T Stadium/Add One
"As a global company, AT&T is proud to have its name associated with this great university and some of the most exciting college football in the country," said David George, AT&T regional manager. "We appreciate our strong working relationship with Texas Tech, and we are grateful for the university's leadership to make the Jones AT&T Stadium name a reality."
In 2000, Texas Tech added the SBC name to its 1947 football stadium in recognition of a $20 million lead gift from then-SBC Communications Inc. to enable Stage One work on the $84 million renovation program. The renovation plan includes a state-of-the-art press box, luxury suites, club seating, new concourses, new concession areas, new restrooms, and incorporation of the Spanish Renaissance architecture consistent with other campus buildings. The original Jones Stadium name honored former Texas Tech President Clifford Jones and his wife Audrey.
AT&T Chairman and CEO Edward E. Whitacre Jr. graduated from Texas Tech in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering. He began his career with Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. in 1964 as a facility engineer in Lubbock before moving on to many leadership positions in the company. Whitacre is the past chairman of the Board of Regents of Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
In addition to the $20 million stadium renovation gift, the SBC Foundation (now AT&T Foundation) donated $10 million in 1999 to Texas Tech for scholarships and endowed chairs.
About the New AT&T
AT&T Inc. is one of the world's largest telecommunications holding companies and is the largest in the United States. Operating globally under the AT&T brand, AT&T companies are recognized as the leading worldwide providers of IP-based communications services to business and as leading U.S. providers of high-speed DSL Internet, local and long distance voice, and directory publishing and advertising services.

Canon's latest and greatest image processor,
the DiG!C 4.
Quick, how many new camera models were announced at the Consumer Electronics show this year? The quick answer: 45. Now, most of these were just standard updates of current models, but there were some new models that hit the market for the first time. This just goes to show that camera technology is moving as quickly as computers, and new updates are available almost all the time.
Here's the point: there was an old rule that, when you look to upgrade your camera gear, you should upgrade lenses more frequently, as a lens is forever, and a camera body is only temporary. Well, this still isn't terrible advice, however here's what has changed - when you had that old film camera, every time you put in a new roll of the latest and greatest film, you were putting in the latest and greatest technology. That old Nikon D70s in your camera bag can't hold a candle to the new technology in the latest Nikon D90. ISO 102,400? Forget about it in anything that's even 6 months old!
So, does this mean that your Canon Digital Rebel is not capable of taking a good picture any more? Not at all! It's just that buying a new camera is just as important as buying a good lens. It's all a balancing act. Here are a couple tips to help you out. First, in general, the camera that comes out 6 months or a year after the one you just bought (assuming the same level of camera) is probably not worth the money from an image quality standpoint. The biggest distinction between the latest round of entry-level D-SLRs and their predecessors is the introduction of HD movie recording. Being that HD recording on a D-SLR is in it's infancy, and is not as polished as most want to believe it is. From an image quality standpoint, though, there isn't a huge jump except maybe academically.
The other big piece of advice is that you should buy based on your needs. The big jumps in camera tech is in the image quality at higher ISO and megapixels. If you do not need to shoot in lower lighting conditions or make very big enlargements, you may not really need an upgrade.
Now, there are a lot of blanket statements here, but take them and use them as a tool for your decision. And there's the rub: you still will need to buy a good lens, but that will be a topic for another article.

While comparisons are odious, it is safe to say that Samantha Hayes' gripping new thriller, "Until You're Mine," just may be this summer's "Gone Girl."
These days, perfectly sane people go to great lengths to conceive a child. In vitro fertilization, sperm banks, egg donors, surrogacies, and adoptions – the list of assistive reproductive technologies means that many of the previously infertile can fulfill their dreams. But not every one can.
"Until You're Mine" is a psychological suspense story that is both about what happens when the desire to have a baby becomes a twisted obsession and a story about the inherent vulnerability of pregnant women.
Social worker Claudia Morgan-Brown, wife to James and stepmother to twins Noah and Oscar, is pregnant. Her naval officer husband, James, has insisted that she hire a nanny to help out, as he will be aboard a submarine when the baby is due. She reluctantly hires Zoe, who moves in with the family and quickly makes herself indispensable.
Claudia, while grateful for the help, feels there is something off about Zoe and doesn't really trust her. She finds a bloodstained sweatshirt, and a button of Zoe's in a locked study. Zoe, for her part, is trying hard to integrate into the family, even though readers quickly realize that she isn't all she presented herself to be:
The worst thing about not being pregnant is that everything in life seems to suddenly involve babies. And the worst thing about having to make up so many stories, literally living in the center of an ever-changing lie, is that the stories get deeper and deeper, more twisted and untrue, so that eventually I have trouble remembering who I really am.
To add to the sense of doom that grows with each page turned, there has been a series of gruesome, murderous attacks on pregnant women that's being investigated by married detectives Lorraine Fisher and Adam Scott. This couple presents another view of parenting, as they struggle to reconcile marital difficulties with the challenges presented by teen-aged daughters.
Lorraine, Claudia, and Zoe tell the story. As the suspense mounts, it becomes increasingly difficult to know which of the women to trust. "Until You're Mine" asks one question: what lengths will a woman go to bear a child of her own?" The answer, thanks to a truly surprising twist at the end of this riveting page-turner, is shocking.
"Until You're Mine" is available at amazon.com and at your favorite New York bookstores.

Moving from a single family home to a condo is a fairly big change, but one that comes with a lot of advantages. In exchange for pairing down the clutter in your life, you'll be gaining a well-maintained pool, no yard work, and beautiful views of your city. In preparation for the move, however, there are a few steps you should take.
1. Start by selling or giving away possessions that won't need in your new home. There's no reason to hold onto lawnmowers, garden tools, or anything you currently use to take care of a pool. If you have a maintenance agreement that covers the inside of your condo, you might also want to get rid of any large tools.
2. Furnish spaces you don't have in your old home. The most common example of this is a balcony. Take some time to look into outdoor furniture for this area. While these areas are more protected than a home patio or deck, they can still be exposed to sunlight and rain. Because of this, it makes sense to choose furniture that is designed for outdoor spaces.
3. Get rid of stuff in your attic. Condos rarely come with a lot of extra storage space. Fortunately, most people don't miss the stuff they store in an attic or garage for most of the year. If there are items you just have to hold on to, ask about renting or buying a garage or storage space in your condo building.
4. Take time to think about décor. A condo that has too much clutter or uses a lot of dark colors can seem cramped and small. Keep large furniture and heavy decorations away from your windows and glass doors in order to let the sunlight and beautiful views in.
5. Buy a few things to prepare for your new lifestyle. It is possible that you will find yourself spending a lot more time at the pool, resident lounges, and participating in resident activities. As you pack, keep the items you'll need for these activities in one, clearly-labeled box. This will let you start enjoying condo life before you are done unpacking.
6. If you're moving with kids, have a conversation with them about the advantages of their new home. If your kids will have less space in the new place, keep reminding them of all the benefits, such as a playground, pool, new friends, and/or activities that they'll gain when they move. If you find yourself needing to pair-down their possessions, let them pick a few things to get rid of and a few things they absolutely have to keep. Giving them some control over the process will make the move go a lot easier.
Moving to a new condo can be a major lifestyle change, but many new condo owners are surprised at how much their daily lives stay the same. Make sure to hold on to the things you love, but use the move as an opportunity to get rid of things you don't want or need.

If you Google "spay/neuter" you'll find many good reasons to spay or neuter your pet, and not one single good reason not to. With warm weather on the way, if you have a pet that is over six months old, now is the time to make that appointment to spay a female pet or neuter a male pet.
Spay/neuter is the number one way to address the fact that 800 animals an hour are killed in shelters across the country because they have no home and no one has come to adopt them. In Wichita, 19,393 animals went through the Murfin Animal Campus in 2012 of which 54% were euthanized. This total does not take into account stray or surrendered animals that were taken in by rescues, individuals, and Lifeline Animal Placement & Protection no kill shelter.
Males--prevents testicular cancer and greatly reduces the risk of perianal tumors; discourages roaming to find a female which brings its own dangers from other animals or being hit by a car.
Females--prevents breast, ovarian and uterine cancer; prevents pyrometra--a uterine bacterial infection that can be expensive to treat and fatal if not treated.
- Done early enough, it discourages marking (with urine), especially in male pets
- Reduces male aggression
- Prevents agitated pacing and crying in females
- Roaming to find a mate in both males and females
- Overall temperament of your pet is often positively affected
There is no veterinary evidence that spaying or neutering before six months of age has any detrimental effect on normal development. Many shelters and rescues, including the Kansas Humane Society, will spay/neuter as young as eight weeks, as long as the animal is healthy and weighs at least two pounds.
Veterinary research and evidence recommends spay/neuter prior to the first estrus cycle for females, as each cycle increases the chance of breast and uterine cancer, with the risk increasing to 25% by the third cycle. Female dogs can "go into heat" as early as six months. Once behaviors as a result of hormonal changes begin, there is no guarantee they will stop once a pet is spayed or neutered. It's best to prevent the behavior before it starts.
There is no reason for cats or dogs to have a litter of kittens or puppies to live a long, healthy and happy life. Further, those who think they want to demonstrate the "miracle of birth" to their children do exactly the opposite by allowing a pet to have babies--it tells them that animals are disposable at will. And consider this, one cat having two litters in a year, her mate, and with an average of 2.8 surviving kittens per litter will produce 370,092 cats in seven years if none are spayed or neutered. One dog and her mate and all of their offspring, if none are spayed or neutered, will produce 67,000 dogs in six years.
In Wichita, spay/neuter cost is not an excuse. The cost of caring for a litter can easily run $300 and if there is any complication during the birth, veterinary bills can run over $1,000. With several low-cost spay/neuter options, households with annual income of under $40,000 can access low-cost services through the Kansas Humane Society and Spay-Neuter Kansas. RETAIN (responsible and ethical treatment of animals in neighborhoods), raises funds to provide discount and free spay/neuter service vouchers.
At KHS, surgeries are done seven days a week and are $40 for cats, $55 for male dogs, and $65 for female dogs. The KHS will also do spay/neuter surgeries on rabbits. Low-cost services are made possible in part by a grant from the Petco Foundation. In addition, at KHS, the Let's Stay Together program may include spay/neuter, training classes, and help with behavioral problems to help people keep their pets. This program is conducted with the help of funds from Banfield Veterinary.
Spay-Neuter Kansas schedules surgeries on Wednesday each week, at $30 for cats, $40 for small dogs, $40 for neuter for large dogs and $50 to spay a large dog. Spay-Neuter Kansas also offers low-cost vaccinations at the time of the surgery. If even this cost would be a financial difficulty, Spay-Neuter Kansas encourages pet owners to contact them to discuss grants that may be available. This service is made possible by donations from the community.
Both programs have information on their respective web sites for proof of income to qualify. You can find a list of veterinarians on the KHS web site that have designated they also offer low-cost spay neuter services to find one that may be more convenient for you.
For those who do not qualify for low-cost services, the cost for a cat neuter with rabies shot starts at $70 and a spay with shots (including feline leukemia) starts around $100 in the Wichita area, with dog surgeries varying by size. Compared to the cost of caring for a litter, injuries from roaming, or the risk of cancer later in life for a pet, the cost of spaying/neutering your pet is a good investment in your pet's health.
If you have adopted your pet, Wichita area rescues and shelters all spay or neuter, ensure your pet has all its shots and a microchip. Further, if you live in Wichita city limits, the cost of the license for your dog is reduced if your dog is spayed or neutered.
Please don't be one of the 20% of pet owners who say their pet has had one or more litters contributing to the the millions of animals being euthanized in shelters. There is no good reason for your pet not to be spayed or neutered.

I don't see a lot of information listed for this product and curious as to whether this device has hard plastic and/or high to medium density foam in it. Particularly the front clavicle/chest part. How about the neck portion. What's the inside made of?
By David from South Carolina on November 12, 2014
Thank you
By Customer Service on November 12, 2014
Answer:The entire shell is nylon, but the liner is nylon mesh. It does not have plastic inserts. The foam in the bib is high density and the foam in the neck collar is softer. The nylon shell is also cut-resistant.
Is it one size fits all? What's the actual size
By David from South Carolina on November 12, 2014
By Customer Service on November 12, 2014
Answer:Bauer says it's designed to fit a neck circumference of 13.5 - 15.5", but we've had people order it with a 16.5" neck and it seemed to fit them just fine.

I have come heard that the cohomology of the classifying space of a compact torus $T$ is equal to the symmetric algebra over the dual of its Liealgebra $t^*$, where elements of the $t^*$ are of degree two:
While I am able to compute that both sides are isomorphic to a polynomial ring in $dim(T)$ generators (of deg 2), I don't see at all how to write down a canonical map between both sides.
So my questions are:
What is the above map? How to think about it?

This is a collection of questions many people are asking about probiotics, probiotic supplements, and fermented foods. If you have a question that is not answered here, please submit your question and I will be happy to post an answer as soon as I can.
Which vegetables are best to ferment?
This is mostly a matter of taste. But organic vegetables are excellent as they contain fewer pesticides and more nutrients. Cabbage is used in many recipes because it is simple to ferment, goes well with almost any other vegetables and it stays crunchy after fermentation. Many recipes use 50-80% green cabbage (adding some red cabbage makes a wonderful color).
Carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, coriander leaves, parsley, ginger, beet root, chili and many other vegetables are great choices. A-Z list of veggies to ferment.
You might want to be careful adding garlic and onion as they add a very distinct taste. Hot pepper is great but if using too much, the taste can become very strong. I like to ferment garlic and onion in separate jars. The advantage is that you can add them on the side. But if you love garlic, then no problem to add then together with other veggies.
When trying to ferment for the first time, I suggest using only cabbage and a few carrots. This combination is very simple to prepare, yet very tasty.
What equipment do I need ferment vegetables or make sauerkraut?
You don't really need that much to begin with. Use whatever tool you have in your kitchen; this will most likely be enough. However, if you want to prepare bigger batches, you might want to invest a little in tools that makes the preparation work faster and easier.
1. A food processor to shred vegetables makes it easier if you want to prepare bigger batches
2. Canning jars. 32 oz jars are good, but getting smaller or bigger jars is also fine. Best if the jars are wide-mouthed as it makes it much easier to get your hand into it to pack the vegetables together. Some like to use crock pots; they are very nice but cost more.
3. A kraut pounder (looks like a small baseball bat), helps to pack the vegetables, but it is not necessary. You can also use your fist.
4. Starter cultures are very good; they make fermentation faster, it tastes better, and you get much more probiotic bacteria in your vegetables. This I do recommend you use always. They are not expensive and you get a better-fermented product.
Which fermented foods contain the highest amount of natural probiotics?
This is not easy to say. The reason is that it depends on what you're fermenting and how you're doing it. For example, if you're using a high-quality starter culture, you will most likely have much more probiotic bacteria in your product than if you're not using a starter culture.
- Yogurt or kefir made with raw, unpasteurized milk
- Fermented vegetables
- Sauerkraut
- Natto; a fermented soy product
- Kimchi
So if you want to really boost the probiotic bacteria count, then add a culture starter. It has been found that when adding a high-quality starter culture to fermented vegetables 10 trillion bacteria were found in a few ounces; that's more that a whole can of 120 probiotic supplement capsules! You can add starter cultures both when making yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables.
Can I overdose on probiotics?
Overdosing is almost impossible. However, you can take "too much" in the sense of detoxifying too fast, also called a "healing crisis." This is because toxins in your body need to be eliminated slowly. Therefore, taking small amounts of probiotics several times a day is a good start. Then you can increase the amount as you feel OK.
But if your body has stored more toxins or if you have candida overgrowth, bacteria or some other unwanted microorganisms, then your body can get stimulated to detoxify too fast. This can cause many different symptoms like…
- increased gas
- diarrhea
- constipation
- headache
- skin rashes
- eczema
- symptoms similar to a cold
According to a test done by and reported on www.mercola.com, a few tablespoons of fermented vegetables contained trillions of probiotic bacteria. That's as much probiotics as you would find in a whole container of a probiotic supplement, but only in a few tablespoons of fermented vegetables. But if you would start consuming large quantities of such fermented food, you might get a strong reaction.
Therefore, if you're new to probiotic you should start out by eating small amounts and increase the dose closely monitoring how you feel.
Millions of people consume fermented foods daily for centuries without any risk of overdosing.
I've got serious health problems, do I need to be cautious with probiotics?
Yes, in some rare, serious cases you should be careful and consult with your doctor! Please check this post on side effects.
Which probiotic supplements is best?
It depends on your specific needs and the makeup of your gut and body.
- But of all the products we have tested, the best one is Dr. Mercola's Complete Probiotics. It contains a very high amount of several potent probiotic bacteria (or CFU, colony forming units) and it is produced using the highest quality ingredients.
- Or if you're on the GAPS diet or similar treating ADHD, Aspergers or similar, then you might want to try Bio-Kult that is specially designed for this.
However, this does not mean that other products are bad. There are several other supplements on this site that we think are of high quality. Some supplements are also designed for a specific purpose as combating the effects of taking antibiotics.
I'm on antibiotics, which probiotic supplement should I take?
As we are all different, one cannot be dogmatic. However, these two are high-quality supplements known to support your gut in case you're on antibiotics.
Dr. Mercola Complete Probiotics or Ultimate Flora Critical Care.
When and how should I take my probiotic supplement when on antibiotics?
About 15 minutes before breakfast and 2-3 hours after taking antibiotics.
If possible, tart taking probiotics before you start with antibiotics; this will prepare your gut. And continue taking probiotics long after you have stopped taking antibiotics. This is one of the best ways to combat the onslaught of antibiotics on your stomach.
Do I need additional probiotics even if have no serious health problems?
Probiotics are vital for life, without probiotic bacteria in your gut you would die! Keeping your gut thriving is, therefore, essential to stay healthy. But because of a poor diet, chlorinated water, stress, antibiotics and other factors, your gut flora may get weakened. Therefore adding probiotics daily—eating fermented foods or taking a supplement—is an important factor to keep your gut well-functioning and in balance.
In addition, it is obvious that preventing disease is far better that treating a condition that has already developed. A growing body or research show that probiotics can prevent many health problems from developing in the first place.
Therefore, consuming fermented foods on a daily basis is one of the best and simplest strategies to stay healthy.
