- Folding cardstock is easier if you score along the edges with a bone folder, using the book board as a guide.
- To make a smooth cover surface, use bone folder to disperse glue evenly.
- Make covers. Cut mat board into two 6" x 9" pieces and one 2" x 9" piece. Cut a 7" x 10" piece of green printed cardstock. Cover both pieces of mat board, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides. Trim corners to 45 degree angle and fold to back. Cut a 5 3/4" x 8 3/4" piece of red printed cardstock. Adhere to inside of mat board.
- Make spine. Cut a 5" x 10" piece from red printed cardstock. Attach to spine mat board, centering left to right and top to bottom. Cut a to 3" x 9" piece of green print paper, Adhere to reverse side of spine, leaving 1/2" on each side. Gently score all sides of the printed paper along the mat board edges.
- Assemble cover. Place spine with red side down on flat surface. Apply adhesive to one side of the excess paper, leaving a 1/8" space. Attach book cover, inside up. Repeat with second cover. Be sure green spine lining is under book covers.
- Make letters. Use the computer to print the word CHRISTMAS in red ink to match paper. Print on cream cardstock with space between the letters. Punch each letter out using a large oval punch.
- Apply die-cut strip. Trim die-cut strip so there are nine openings. Carefully remove adhesive paper cover along one side 1/2" from of edge. Apply to cover, being sure to overlap edge where red and green print cardstock meet. Slide punched letters under each opening and adhere with a drop of adhesive. Remove remaining paper cover and adhere rest of die cut to book front. Trim shanks from small brads and adhere brad tops between each letter with adhesive.
- Embellish. Apply leafing pen to bookplate and small brads. Stamp date with Moss ink on cream cardstock. Adhere behind bookplate. Place brads in holes of book plate and adhere all to cover using dimensional glue dots.
- Make closure. Use eyelet setter to place eyelets on front and back covers, centering on edge opposite spine. Thread 5/8" ribbon through and tie a knot in each end to secure. Add a drop of adhesive to secure ends of ribbon.
- Finish. Cut 20 lengths of ribbon one yard long. Tie around spine, knotting at top of spine and allowing ends to hang. Tie bells to each ribbon end, securing with a drop of adhesive. Arrange cards in ascending size and slip into ribbons on inside.

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press file photo
DENVER � Peyton Manning�s right thumbnail was covered with white tape and put under a media microscope upon his return to the football field Wednesday.
The tape didn�t wrap all the way around his thumb, leaving him able to grip the football like normal, and teammates said his throws and handoffs at practice were unaffected by his injury in his first action since smacking his throwing hand on a defender�s helmet Sunday night.
For the first time, Denver coach John Fox listed his quarterback on the team�s injury report � �Peyton Manning, right thumb, full� � but said he noticed no lingering effects.
Manning, who threw two second-half touchdowns in Denver�s 34-14 win over New Orleans after getting hurt just before halftime, said after practice that his thumb was �sore, but it�s more of an irritant than anything else.�
Manning gets all this scrutiny.
After all, he missed all of last season in Indianapolis with a nerve injury in his neck and now plays in a city that 24 years ago argued about the quality of Halloween candy handed out to trick-or-treaters by a young John Elway.
Now, the discolored right thumbnail on the four-time MVP who�s playing like he�s hungry for a fifth certainly is a big deal in media circles, both traditional and social.
Manning acknowledged he was �probably a little bit lucky� that he banged the nail and not the knuckle of his right thumb on New Orleans defensive end Martez Wilson�s helmet just before absorbing his only hit of the night.
Another half-inch, and all bets would have been off for the rolling Broncos (4-3), who lead the AFC West and finally are hitting their stride behind Manning�s spectacular play and steady leadership and look every bit like a team ready to take off.
Another half-inch, and this is rookie Brock Osweiler�s offense. Or Caleb Hanie�s.
�They say it�s a game of inches,� wide receiver Eric Decker said. �Maybe it�s a game of centimeters.�
The league�s leading passer at age 36, Manning is playing better than anyone � the Broncos and their quarterback included � could have hoped for over the season�s first two months.
�Well, certainly, it was a lot of unknown before this season,� Manning said. �I think there still is. This is a new team, and nobody knew how this team would form chemistry-wise. I didn�t know what my situation would be. I mentioned early on that I�m feeling my way out. We�re finding out our identity. I think we are still doing that. I think we have it in some places.�
Even though they�re not all the way there yet, Elway, the Broncos� vice president of football operations, said during his weekly podcast on the team�s website that Denver is coming off its �most complete game of the year.�
�We thought it was going to be a track meet, and we�d really have to keep up with them,� Elway said. �The compliment goes to (defensive coordinator) Jack Del Rio, his staff and the defensive players. They really answered the bell.�
Drew Brees was limited to 137 yards through the air until the Saints� final drive, when he threw for 76 yards with several Broncos backups in the game.
Weakside linebacker Wesley Woodyard, an undrafted fifth-year pro from Kentucky, won AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors Wednesday for a monster game that included 13 tackles (9 solo), a sack, an interception, two pass breakups and a forced fumble � exceeding or matching his career high in every category.
Despite losing linebacker Joe Mays (broken leg), the Broncos could get cornerback Tracy Porter back this week. He�s missed the last two games after experiencing light-headedness and a racing heart � the same symptoms he had before suffering a seizure during training camp.
He returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday and said he hopes to play Sunday at Cincinnati: �It�s a matter of me getting my conditioning back, getting my legs back up under me,� Porter said. �As far as seizure-wise, I don�t have any problem.�
The last time the Broncos visited the Bengals (3-4), Brandon Stokley�s 87-yard �Immaculate Deflection� touchdown catch on a batted pass with 11 seconds left gave Denver a farfetched 12-7 win in the 2009 opener.
�Brandon runs through my mind all the time,� Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said during a conference call with Denver reporters. �But I wish we had more guys here that were on that team. I think we have about seven guys that were actually in that game.�
Believe it or not, Stokley also has had bad dreams about that play in which he cradled cornerback Leon Hall�s deflection at midfield and raced untouched into the end zone � but not before he headily took an extra couple of precious seconds off the clock by running along the goal line before stepping across for the score.
�I just kind of saw that nobody was behind me chasing me. I saw a guy kind of give up on it. I knew there wasn�t a lot of time left, so I thought, why not try to run some time off?� Stokley said. �And then the next day, I kind of started having nightmares about it. What if I�d have gotten caught? What if I had fumbled? What if somebody would have hit me?
�I think next time I�ll probably just get in the end zone.�

IT WILL be the best of times, or it will be the worst of times, when the tale of two cities reaches its conclusion in Singapore at 12.46pm BST on Wednesday, July 6.
In London and Paris, at that exact moment thousands of people who will be attending street parties and millions of citizens of the two capitals watching on TV will await the words of Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, as he steps forward in the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore to announce which of the two cities will host the 2012 Oympic Games.
Many hundreds of millions of people around the planet are expected to tune in to watch the announcement. As soon as the name of the winner is stated, there will be bedlam and joy in one city, and groans and misery in the other - cue party of the year, or a wake.
Billions of pounds and tens of thousands of jobs, are at stake, not to mention honour and prestige, and a boost to the tourism economy of the winning city which will last for years. On a smaller scale, the team who have worked very hard on the London bid will either move smoothly into new jobs organising the Games, or be redundant on July 31, as one of them ruefully confirmed last week.
Unless every pundit on the planet is wrong, it will be either London or Paris which will win. The other three contenders, Madrid, Moscow and New York, are expected to be voted out during the sequence of votes which takes place in the morning of July 6 after each competing city puts forward its final presentation.
For London in particular, that ultimate opportunity to win support from each of the 115 IOC members entitled to vote is utterly crucial. In Glasgow this week on a charm offensive to rally the Scottish press behind the bid, one of London's ambassadors Steve Cram admitted there had been mistakes early in the bid process but said these had been learned from.
Cram, who will host London's street party in Trafalgar Square with Dame Kelly Holmes, indicated that the final messages which will be conveyed to the IOC are overwhelmingly positive - public approval ratings of the bid are soaring nationally, big business is supportive, the Government is fully behind London. And according to the London bid team they are now on the heels of Paris, which has been hot favourite to win for over a year, and expect to overtake the French capital in Singapore.
When it was announced that Prime Minister Tony Blair would attend Singapore to promote London's cause, it seemed that the presence of such a world figure could clinch things for London. Add David Beckham to the London party and you surely have a winning combination.
Enter President Jacques Chirac. The French head of state - though he might think he is, Blair is not our empereur - is now also to attend, and shrewd politician that he is, Chirac may have already stolen a march on his 'old friend' from Downing Street.
For unless he can hitch a ride to a passing space rocket, there is no way that Blair can attend the final presentation to be made by London and be back in Scotland to start hosting the G8 summit at Gleneagles which begins on July 6. Chirac, however, can afford to arrive later and he has pledged to be part of Paris's presentation party at 9am BST.
Much of the final rallying of support will be done in Singapore's hotels before the 117th plenary session of the IOC. That is where Blair and Chirac's personal qualities will prove vital.
Sport and politics should not mix, of course, but in the real world all things are political. Of course, the delegates might not give a fig for either the Prime Minister or le President once they queue to meet, greet and be charmed (as they surely will) by New York's chief supporter - a great Olympic champion by the name of Muhammad Ali.
But if The Greatest pulls off this one it will be a bigger shock than his defeat of George Foreman. It is between London and Paris, and there's nothing New York, Moscow or Madrid can do about it. The former, incidentally, does not appear to have any top-level Russian government figure going, while Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is hardly a household name, hence the presence of Real Madrid's Raul and Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain in Madrid's party.
Steve Cram insists that celebrities and politicians no longer have the clout they once had in promoting bids, largely because the IOC now consists of more former top sports people who are more interested in stadia and athletes' villages than handshakes from ministers and mayors. But the IOC does take account of politicians and of their politics - for instance, how will the contrasting stances of Blair and Chirac on the Iraq War go down with the delegates?
It was also a political brouhaha which first smeared London's bid. Mayor Ken Livingstone's alleged 'racist gibe' to a newspaper reporter and his refusal to apologise grabbed the headlines just as the IOC delegates visited the city.
London then had to cancel its plans for subsidies for competing athletes after Rogge. The BBC Panorama investigation 'Buying the Games' also led to Bulgarian IOC member Ivan Slavkov being suspended and upset a lot of IOC people. Interestingly, BBC chairman Michael Grade is reportedly going to persuade delegates that the corporation - which will presumably earn millions as host broadcaster - really loves the IOC after all.
Add London's poor showing - at first - over transport and infrastructure, and you can see why London got off to a slow start. The IOC has re-evaluated these problems and London's facilities are now rated as highly as Paris's, except that Paris has most of its facilities in place and London has still to build many of them. But there is no gainsaying London's surge, and the only question is if it has come too late.
All the commentators, and everyone involved in London's bid, state that Sebastian Coe's arrival as London bid chief was the single biggest factor in the transformation of the city's bid from probable also-ran to strong contender. Lord Coe's charm and his ability to open doors with IOC members paid dividends for London in ways that no politician could match. And as a former MP, Coe was also able to speak to politicians and bring them 'on side'.
Paris is still favourite, and it is a dickens of a job for the double Olympic gold medallist, but if Coe leads London to victory on Wednesday, July 6, it will be a far, far better thing than he has ever done before.

The interesting article by Hodgman et al1 published in the September 1993 issue of AfDC documents transient episodes of bradycardia of 60 to 70 beats per minute as a common finding in preterm and term infants during the first weeks of life. The exact mechanisms responsible for these episodes are not completely understood; however, the authors consider them to be normal reflex responses.
In our neonatal unit, continuous monitoring of heart rhythms and breathing movements is routine in sick infants as well as in preterm infants in stable condition during the first weeks of life. The equipment used (Diascope 2, S&W Medico Teknik A/S, Albertslund, Denmark) includes automatic recording on paper of the electrocardiographic pattern with a 4-second memory function for episodes when the heart rate moves outside preset limits. Transient episodes of bradycardia lasting 5 to 20 seconds are frequently registered, in accordance with the observations of Hodgman et

Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti first met Base partner Geoff Cook years ago when her company, Vivre (previously named L'Art de Vivre), was known as a niche catalog. Today the catalog has moved online and Eva herself has become a respected, international arbiter of style. We sat down with Eva to discuss fashion, her personal style, and what it takes to run a luxury company in today's competitive environment.
Base: What brands today are "firing on all cylinders," the ones who are really doing it right?
Eva: There are many brands, but two that never falter at getting it right are: Louis Vuitton for paying attention to the changing market but never compromising their traditional and well-tailored aesthetic; Apple for their high-visual intensity, and their unique commitment to design and intuitive intelligence.
B: Where do you get your inspiration from?
E: Everywhere and everything! I am inspired by the people, places, and things that surround me—from the work of an artisan in a remote village, the bright lights of a big city, and the taste of street food from all over the world.
B: What are three latest favorite finds?
E: I have an endless number of favorites. I appreciate so many different things and the stories behind them that it's difficult for me to select only three. But here are a few of my most recent discoveries:
Wynn Wynn Ong's nature-inspired cuff bracelets. Her Nagá collection is whimsical and features one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted pieces. The Stella Cuff is fabulous.
Tamlin & The Fall's miniaudieres. They're a mix of jewelry and handbag with fun details like hand-dyed feathers and chunky chains. The Silver-plated Shell Miniaudiere is exquisite.
Jose Esteves' new lighting collection. His metal and steel mesh works are the perfect blend of form and function. His Circle Lines Globe is a great sculptural piece.
B: What was the most special thing you've ever sold on Vivre?
E: That's so difficult to answer because I love everything. And I wish I bought more of the items we've sold because they would be collector's items now. But something I think is quite unique and that I did buy is Bernardaud's re-edition dishware that was designed by Marc Chagall. Chagall originally painted the 69-piece service set as a wedding gift to his daughter, and it's masterfully illustrated with almost surreal scenes of figurative imagery. Apart from there being an incredible and meaningful story behind the collection, it's a story I like to tell. And only 225 settings were created, which makes the pieces even more special.
B: What characteristics do you dislike in luxury items?
E: I'm all about the experience, state of mind and story behind products, so I don't gravitate towards pieces that lack substance or that aren't inspired. I'm not into logos, the "IT" factor, or something that's "in your face" for the sake of shock value.
B: Can you tell us about the Vivre brand how it came into being and the collaborations you have?
E: I've always been into design. The experience of creating a new piece is so inspiring, and I like to interject my own story into each object. In fact, I kicked off the collection over ten years ago with the "Allegra Tote," which is named after my daughter. Whether I'm dreaming up a new handbag, shoe, ring, bracelet, shirt, etc., I'm constantly thinking about my next move, the next collaboration, the next thing. So, keep your eyes open and expect to see a lot more.
B: How would you define your taste in 10 words?
E: Classic and tailored with a mix of old and new.
Like a great archive, I believe clothes should be well cut and elegant. I think it's important to start with a clean palette, and then mix in accessories as you like. I'm always trying to interject pieces in an imaginative way, and I like layering old items with new finds. For me, style is so individual. It's not about rules. It's an expression of who you are and what makes you feel beautiful and alive. It's about collecting pieces that you will love forever, and the experience in finding them.
B: What New Yorkers impress you?
E: New Yorkers are impressive! That's why I've always loved this city. You have to be on your toes because you never knowing who's going to be in the room with you. Here are two Manhattanites I admire: Diane von Furstenberg because she's a real woman who's intelligent, unexpected, and a pioneer; Mickey Drexler because he's always on the go and a genius at what he does.
B: Speaking of NYC, you're a mom (how many kids?). What's it like raising kids in NYC?
E: I have two children, Allegra who is thirteen and Amedeo who is ten. Allegra, or "Lulli" as we call her, is a real woman in the making. She's sweet, a bit calculative, and has a photographic memory. Amedeo is truly unstoppable. He's fearless, loving and unrelenting. Raising kids in New York is wonderful and easier than people might think. The city has so much to offer in terms of culture and entertainment, and I like exposing them to everything.
B: What is your favorite locale for family holidays?
E: I enjoy traveling anywhere and everywhere with my family, exploring new places and experiencing different cultures with them. Having said that, I love going home to the Swiss Alps in the Winter Gstaad.
B: What are your plans for the future? What are your next steps?
E: Lots! We're in the middle of a very exciting time right now, where we're transitioning from aspiration to inspiration. As Coco Chanel said, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." It's a great time to rethink and refresh.

thank you very much .. that construction guide/ manual is a veritable gold mine full of info..
Blackstar RC Yachts - worth taking a look
I was chatting with Martin on another thread and he suggested I draft a post on "Sticky" to share with you guys a line of RC Yachts that may be of interest and that you may not be familar with.
I was doing some research on "Footy's" and came across "Blackstar R/C Yachts". I had not heard of them before, so I contacted them via e-mail to enquire about their very nice looking boats.
I got a phone call shortly after sending my e-mail, which was a positive first step. An engaging fellow named Christopher Lones called me to field my questions. He was a very knowledgeable and interested, and our conversation lasted for 30 minutes.
Christopher is both the designer and the builder of Blackstar R/C sailboats, and has been doing it since 1983. A particular point of interest to me is that his boats are hand layed fiberglass, with Carbon Spars and Mylar sails. I like the fiberglass hull aspect for it's strength.
Chris is the builder and an avid sailor, who builds his boats one at a time, and all by hand. He has a real passion for his products, and for RC sailing in general. He is now located in the Denver area, but as I understand it, he started out in Florida, where his boats are well known and very popular.
His prices seem quite fair for RTR boats. I was surprised actually, I thought the prices were for kits. I asked him if he'd sell a boat without the radio, and he said sure, and to deduct $50 from the posted price. Since I use 2.4 technology and have my radios and receivers, that was good news. I asked him about doing a few custom touches for me, and he was happy to oblige.
He builds a variety of boats and lengths.
Blackstar 36 $499.00 plus shipping
Blackstar 30 $329.00 plus shipping
Footy Class $219.00 plus shipping
Footy F14 $189.00 plus shipping
Blackstar SS $199.00 plus shipping
Blackstar 23 $219.00 plus shipping
Trimaran $279.00 plus shipping
All boats come fully built in your choice of color and include 2ch Radios
Boats are available in kit form. email me for pricing depending on how much of a kit you want.
I posted some photos for your consideration.

Look forward to your comments.

Thanks Boomer. It sounds like someone worth adding to a list of candidate suppliers.
The full size plans are probably available from the class association - since the boat (a one design) was intended for home building. You can always scale down dimensions for the hull to whatever size you like. Probably will need a larger centerboard and rudder if you want to radio control it. Since there is no recognized r/c class, a taller mast/larger sail could provide a performance boost if you want to keep it looking scale when on the water. A removable keel with bulb is suggested to when out of water it would/could look like a scale model of the real boat if on your wall or mantel.
Don't be shocked if the class wants $$ for plans, since you could, after all, build a real one. Might also check local library as the plans were in Popular Mechanics or similar when the class was growing. Probably 1950's or so.
Just a couple of ideas

Boomer Thanks for the heads up on a new RTS builder/supplier to most of us. Like
Martin has said in a different post a lot of builder/suppliers are not known to most sailors. I will have to look at his web site. From what you have said his prices are really in the ball park for most new sailors.
Since this is tech thread, if anyone is interested, once I have some definitive information, I will provide it.
I took one picture of the boat just after removing it from the box. She sure looks fast. The sail set looks good too.
I am always looking for new boats - and am happy to report on them as they are discovered.
Merry Christmas
Description and Specs:
Fathead main and overall look similar to the round the world Volvo boats. Designed to be very fast and a serious racing model built for performance. The keel is removable in just seconds, as is the rudder. The boat uses a double spreader rigged carbon fiber mast. Can be ordered RTR or equipped the way you want it.
General Specifications
length 36 In.
Sail Area 600 Sq., In.
Weight 5 lbs.
draft 16 In.
Same to you Boomer. Thanks for the info on the boat manufacturer.

nice looking yachts boomer especially the 36 blackstar how do you think it would go against a seawind?also were can you buy the tri it isnt on his web page and how big is it
Good question, I don't know the answer at this point. When I get them both on the water I can let you know. The Seawind has more sail area, and is a longer boat. It will be fun to find out.
My projects have been put on a temporary hold until we move into our new home. Once I get the 36 completed I will post an update on how the boat performs.
Thanks for your interest.

Al Khazneh - The Treasury
As you come to the end of the Siq, the first and greatest monument of Petra slowly comes into view. The Siq opens up onto Petra's most magnificent façade - the Treasury or Al Khazneh. It stands at almost 40 meters high and is intricately decorated with friezes, statues and other features carved from the rock.
Although the original function is still a mystery, the Khazneh is believed by many archaeologists to be the mausoleum of King Aretas IV (9BC- 40AD).
Another is that it functioned as a treasury of the Egyptian Pharaoh of the time of Moses (Khaznet Far'oun).
You can watch my 3 min 53 sec HD Video Jordan Petra part 4 Treasury out of my Youtube channel.
Directions: You can watch my high resolution photo of Petra on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 30° 19' 21.76" N 35° 27' 6.78" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Al Khazneh - The Treasury.
Al Khazneh - The Treasury inside
Once you have adjusted to it's awe and beauty, have a look inside.
A colossal doorway dominates the outer court and leads to an inner chamber of 12 square meters. At the back of the chamber is a sanctuary with an ablution basin (for ritual washing), suggesting that the Treasury was a temple or some other kind of holy place. The chamber can no longer be entered, but it is possible to look in from the doorway.
There is a funerary urn at the top of the Treasury which according to local legend conceals pharaoh's treasures.
It is unknown as why Al Khazneh was originally built, probably between 100 BC and 200 AD. Its Arabic name Treasury derives from one legend that bandits or pirates hid their loot in a stone urn high on the second level.
There are burial chambers on either side of a ramp which were excavated in 2003.
Al Khazneh - The Treasury Square
The Treasury's façade has two levels, decorated with columns, classical rooflines and badly weathered sculptures. Perched atop the façade is an eagle, a Nabataean (and Greek) male deity symbol.
The central figure on the upper level tholos may be the fertility goddess of Petra, El-Uzza (associated to the Egyptian goddess Isis). The vertical footholds on either side may have been made to aid the sculptors.
The portal on the bottom level is reached by small flight of steps, and is flanked by mounted figures believed to be Castor and Pollux, sons of Zeus.
Directions: You can watch my high resolution photo of Petra on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 30° 19' 20.56" N 35° 27' 5.54" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Al Khazneh-The Treasury Square.
The Treasury
This is what we are all looking for when we go to Petra, beautiful indeed. Thanks to it we see the rest of Petra that is worth also the travel. Protected of the wind for its location, the erosion have not work so much over its fachade. Columns, figures, conical roof, all worked with great maestri. You can easily see the steps at the wall going up to the top that were used to reach the top and do the work, from the top to down.
The best moment when you get to te end of the Siq and you get the first view of the Treasury.
The Kahzneh
About 40 meter high, completely carved in the rock, this is however the most impressing building of Petra. Kazneh means treasure; it was not a temple but simply a tomb. The Bedouins have long thought that the urn at the top was containing the treasure of the dead that has rested there for some time. That's why you can see lots of bullet impacts on this part of the building: they simply tried to break this recipient open. Bad luck this is just plain stone! I'm glad they had no bazooka at that time…
We can't say for sure when this tomb has been built: at some point between 1st century BC and 2nd AC. The decoration is inspired from Greek, Egyptian and Assyrian architecture. The stunning part is that most probably the sculptors had never seen these foreign countries. They took their ideas from the tales told by the numerous merchants passing by.
At least, that's what I've been told by a local guide. I've read somewhere else that the architects had indeed studied in Alexandria....

Jordan's most famous monument
The Khazneh, called the Treasury, is probably one of the best known monuments in the Middle East, and most certainly the most famous in Jordan! It is in a most remarkable state of preservation, being cut deep into the rock face and tucked away in a valley where wind and rain, not to mention flying sand, has little chance of penetrating. Try to arrange to see it in the morning, between about 9 and 11am, when the sun is shining on it.

Al-Khaznehis the best-known of the monuments at Petra and you can see it after the long wolk in the Siq. The facade, carved out from the sandstone cliff wall, is 43m high and 30m wide, and is remarkably well-preserved. As all the monuments of Petra. it has got an impressive facade, a large square room has been carved out of the rock of the cliff. The corners and walls have been squared off meticulously, but no attempt has been made to extend the excavations further or to reproduce the kind of ornate carving of the exterior. This is typical of the tombs in Petra; the interiors are as plain as the exteriors are intricate.
Directions: In front of you at the end of the Siq.

Ladies and Gentlemen....
The Treasury:
After the long walk along the Siq, finaly it appears the pride and glory of Petra: the treasury. The architetural style of it was unique in the ancient world. It is a mainly Hellenistic but with a touch of Nabataean style. It was built in the first centyry BC as a thomb of a Nabaetan king.
Its measures that still do not give the idea of the view you get once you are there are: 30 meters wide and 43 high.

The Khazneh - and how it used to be!
The Treasury, called the Khazneh, is probably the best known monument in the Middle East, and most certainly the most famous in Jordan!
The archaeologists are excavating the area in front of it, called "The Plaza". They have already found the remains of a couple of fountains, or possibly just basins of water.
They think that in the high days of the Nabateans it looked like this

visit the treasury.
The tresury is probaply the best known place in Petra.
It has most likely been the grave of an ancient king, but it yet has to be completely determined.
It´s a fantastic building carved out in the red sand stone rock and it chnges color all day long depending on the light.

The Kahzneh - new excavations
Very recently (summer 2004) new rooms have been discovered at the foot of the building. You can see them at the bottom-left part of this picture. These rooms being below the ground level, they have been covered with a gate.
By the way, this picture has been taken from a place close to the top of the sik. This is just a small walk through an almost inexistent path from Djebel Al-Khubta (see following tip). I have been crazy enough to follow this path on my own but it could be wiser to hire a guide amongst the Bedouins.

Al-Deir (The Monastery)
The Monastery (Al-Deir) is the largest monument in Petra. It is 50 metres wide and 45 metres high and looks really impressive (can you see the small donkey in front of Al-Deir in the picture?).
Al-Deir is far away from the other monuments but it is worth to climb to see it. It takes about 45 minutes by foot, but you can always pay for a donkey to take you up. The path starts close to the restaurant.

Al-Khazneh - The Treasury
The name Al-Khazneh, which in Arabic means 'treasury',comes from the legend that it was used as a hiding place for treasure. Archeologists think that Al-Khazneh seems to have been something between a temple and a tomb, possibly both at once.
Directions: In front of you at the end of the Siq.

The Kahzneh
At the end of the walk, finally comes this magical moment where you discover the Treasure, this finely sculpted façade still half hidden by the rough stones of the siq.
This is a classical view of Petra. If you have never been to Jordan and the picture still rings a bell, stop thinking where you could have seen it. A possible answer could be Indiana Jones!! In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that's where the Holy Graal had been hidden. However if you remember the movie, there were several caves inside and still many traps before accessing the Graal. Sorry to disappoint you but in reality this is much simpler: there is just a couple of relatively uninteresting cubic rooms inside…

Al-Khazneh (The Treasury)
After going through the narrow siq for 1,2 km it ends and you will have the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) just in front of you. It is an impressive sight when you first get a glimps of it between the narrow walls of the siq. The Treasury is carved in to the rook and the facade is 43 m high and 30 m wide. It is a tomb of the Nabataean king Aretas III. The tomb got its name from a story that said that a treasury was hidden in the large stone urne on the second floor (it is made of massive stone though).

Datacenter Efficiency
Oracle Solaris Zones have the unique capability of enabling very high consolidation ratios and scaling from very small environments to the largest instances all at near-zero overhead. This type of virtualization technology is therefore ideal for use in the datacenter where workloads need to be consolidated and stacked to drive the efficiencies needed. This is also where scaling is important to unlock the business potential of new techniques like In-Memory processing. Combine this with the partitioning capability of Oracle VM Server and Oracle Solaris can deliver a complete solution to fit any virtualization need.
As more and more workloads are being consolidated on to the same systems the need to differentiate between their network traffic increases, especially as traffic flows that would go over different networks get combined onto a single bigger pipe. With Application-Driven Software Defined Networking (SDN) the traffic from these workloads can now be separately measured and controlled by either their packet characteristics (For example IP address and port number) or even indicated by the application itself. So you can, for example, prioritize heartbeat traffic over bulk backup traffic coming from the same application.
Another way of driving the efficiency of a datacenter is by minimizing downtime, with the new network based package management system called Image Packaging System (IPS), Solaris 11 drastically reduces planned downtime through the whole lifecycle, reducing both complexity and time to manage the patch level of the system. It also leverages ZFS to create Boot Environments out of Oracle Solaris ZFS's clone capability for every change it makes; so it's very easy to move to a previous state before the patch was applied.
Your Applications Just Run
An important part of running your applications on Oracle Solaris is that we understand businesses need to rely on their applications for a long time.
Oracle Solaris has a Binary Compatibility Guarantee in place that states that we guarantee that applications that run on Oracle Solaris 2.3 or later will run on any newer Oracle Solaris version including Oracle Solaris 11. Oracle Solaris has an Application Binary Interface (ABI) which is kept stable so that if an application written to it, which most applications are, the application keeps on working on newer versions of Oracle Solaris. Additionally, the Oracle Solaris Preflight Application Checker tool can help you to determine the Oracle Solaris 11 readiness of an application by analyzing a working application on Oracle Solaris 10.
In some cases customers don't have the time to go through an application move from an older version of Oracle Solaris to a newer one, or the expertise how to install the application has left the company. In these cases if you want to still easily move to Oracle Solaris 11 you can use Oracle Solaris 10 Zones. You take a backup of your current environment, this could be a tar or a flash archive file and create a Zone on Solaris 11 with a Solaris 10 brand. This will allow you to unpack the backup into the Zone and run the application unchanged on a Oracle Solaris 10 userland on a Oracle Solaris 11 kernel.
Advanced Security and Compliance Reporting
In a modern datacenter making the systems compliant and showing they stay compliant is an ever increasing burden on the IT department. This is why in Oracle Solaris we're working to make it easier to install and make your systems compliant with Secure by Default as well as provide an OpenSCAP reporting tool to validate the system meets specific compliance criteria. This greatly alleviates the often time consuming process of proving compliance to auditors.
Oracle Solaris 11 has fully integrated encryption which allow applications to use a single API for all their cryptographic operations. This allows the administrator to, at a later point for example, switch cryptographic algorithms without needing to rewrite the application. This also allows seamless integration with new hardware acceleration. This same technology is used by Oracle Solaris ZFS encryption that gives a very low overhead way to encrypt data at rest.
Immutable Zones allow the Global Zone administrator to lock down an individual zone into a read only mode in which the applications within the zone can only read but not write, or only write into certain directories. Especially for internet facing applications this can greatly limit impact of intrusions.
High Availability
Oracle Solaris 11 is a complete, integrated and open platform engineered for large-scale enterprise environments. It offers highest level of availability in single systems thanks to its numerous reliability features in server, networking and storage fault management. Oracle Solaris Cluster, fully integrated with Oracle Solaris, extends its reliability across multiple systems and sites to provide high availability and disaster recovery to applications and virtualized environments. Oracle Solaris Zone clusters are the perfect environment to consolidate multiple applications or multi-tiered workloads into different virtual clusters onto a single physical cluster configuration.
This integrated high availability starts at the base with Fault Management Architecture (FMA) the monitors for hardware issues, and is connected to the Service Management Facility (SMF) that monitors and corrects issues with software services on the same system through to Oracle Solaris Cluster that covers multiple systems, all the way to multi-site clusters that handle Disaster Recovery of complex applications with multiple storage replication policies and service dependencies within this application.
Oracle Solaris Cluster gives Built-in Protection for enterprise applications as it includes off-the-shelf support for an extensive portfolio of applications and databases. Examples include, but not limited to, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Databases, PeopleSoft, Weblogic, MySQL, iPlanet Web server technologies, Apache, and SAP. For custom applications, an easy-to-use tool kit enables integration into the clustering framework in just a few clicks.
Scalable Data Management
Oracle Solaris ZFS is now the default file system for Oracle Solaris and is integrated to all aspects of Oracle Solaris, including IPS and Oracle Solaris Zones. It also has powerful built-in services like Oracle Solaris ZFS compression, encryption, snapshot and clone. Which means that all other services that now live on top of ZFS can transparently take advantage of these services again driving up the efficiency of running your applications on Oracle Solaris.
COMSTAR (Common Multiprotocol SCSI Target) is a software framework that sits on top of ZFS that enables the ability to turn any Oracle Solaris host into into a target device that can be accessed over a storage network. The COMSTAR framework makes it possible for all SCSI device types (tape, disk, and the like) to connect to a transport (such as Fibre Channel) with concurrent access to all logical unit numbers (LUN) and a single point of management. Support for a number of protocols has been added: iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) and SCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP) for hosts that include an InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Orlando, Fla. -
In another possible TSA blunder, John Gross of Indian has claimed that while passing through the TSA security checkpoint at the Orlando International Airport, MCO, a female TSA agent used her finger to sift through the ashes and in the process spilled about a third of his remains onto the floor.
Gross was carrying the remains of his grandfather, Mario Mark Marcaletti, in a sealed container marked "Human Remains", and tried to explain to the female TSA agent what it was before she opened the jar and subsequently spilled portions of the remains onto the floor.
"She didn't apologize," Gross tells RTV6. "She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments. I couldn't pick up all, everything that was lost. I mean, there was a long line behind me."
TSA policy for screening human remains such as these are for x-ray scanning machines to be used and it has a strict policy against opening containers marked human remains.
Gross has asked for an apology from the TSA, but so far that has not happened as of the time this article was published.

Angelina Jolie is one resilient mom.
The actress, 37, has experienced no complications since undergoing a double mastectomy in February and reconstructive surgery in April. "She is doing well," a source tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.
But her medical odyssey is not done. The mother of six is also planning to undergo surgery to remove her ovaries. Because of her "faulty" BRCA1 gene, she still faces a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, which her doctors estimate at 50 percent. Some doctors recommend patients undergo the surgery by age 40 or when a woman is done having children, though it may trigger early menopause.
For now, though, the actress and her fiancé, Brad Pitt, have been focused on maintaining a sense of routine for their kids – keeping up family traditions such as a Valentine's Day gift exchange and an Easter egg hunt while Jolie was undergoing treatment.
In the weeks surrounding the surgeries, "life was normal" for the children, says a source, and they didn't notice anything amiss.
Adds a family insider: "Her kids always come first to her."
For much more on this story, including Jolie's family's life during her treatment, how Brad has supported Angelina and how her mom inspired her, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Hierarchical QoS
In order to increase revenues, service providers are offering more and more services on the same infrastructure to their subscribers. While a few years back data services were confined to providing a vanilla broadband service to residential customers and an L2 or L3 VPN service to Enterprise customers, this is no longer enough to survive in the highly competitive telecom space. Service providers are expected to provide IPTV, VOIP, Video Calling, Bandwidth on Demand and Gaming Services. Similarly corporate customers expect Video Conferencing and SLA guarantees from the service providers.
While the demand for these value added services is increasing, its becoming more and more difficult for service providers to ensure these SLAs and satisfactory operation of various applications. This is because firstly all these services are using a common shared infrastructure, and secondly, each service has a different set of requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency, jitter etc.
These concerns are addressed through the Hierarchical QoS Engine built into Tejas packet platforms.
Traditional QoS engines consist of only one level of Scheduler. The traffic is classified based on some pre-configured rules into multiple classes. This classification can be based on Ethernet, IP or TCP header values. The classified traffic is put into separate queues. The Scheduling Engine then picks up the traffic from these queues according to a pre-configured algorithm (eg Strict Priority or Weighted Fair Queueing) and transmits it onto the Egress ports. The traffic passing through each of these queues is measured and SLAs provided only at the level of this class of service.
The limitation of this approach is that while it can classify VOIP traffic coming from all the customers as Class of Service #1, and provide a guaranteed throughput to the total VOIP traffic, it cannot sub-classify between VOIP traffic from 2 separate customers.
A hierarchical QoS engine solves these problems by supporting multiple levels of scheduling. The first level scheduler feeds traffic to the next level and that feed to the third level. With each of these schedulers, a separate classification and scheduling algorithm can be applied at each level. The first level scheduler can classify traffic into flows (for eg, coming from a specific host or a group of hosts). The second level can classify them based on services (for eg, whether its VOIP traffic or normal Internet traffic), and Third level scheduler can classify it based on Trunks (ie, a trunk going from location A to B and another going from A to C but sharing the same Egress port).
With an HqoS engine the service provider gets a lot of flexibility in managing his bandwidth. The first level scheduler would classify traffic into flows based on the service type (VOIP, Internet etc) coming from a particular customer (source address). The SLAs applied here would apply to the individual services for that customer. The second level scheduler can classify based on customers and apply CIR(Committed Information Rate) & EIR (Excess Information Rate) for that customer. The third level scheduler can apply a policy for a particular trunk (based on destination address). Thus all traffic going from location A to B would get a particular bandwidth guarantee within the shared Egress port.

Uninstalling Oracle 8 Personal Database
If I say Oracle is the best database system available then there will be hardly any one who will disagree with me. Oracle 8 / 8i were the best database systems and the biggest bug in Oracle 8 is, there is no uninstaller and after you install the Oracle 8 personal you dont have an option of removing and without removing it you cannot install the later version or even upgrade it. So now the question arises how to uninstall the Oracle 8.
The last option that came to my mind is to format the hard drive and so the Oracle 8 personal will be gone and as I wanted to format it started taking the backup. After all backup done being a programmer and database designer thought of giving a try as to edit the registry and remove it manually and lastly succeeded in the process.
I am sharing my personal opinion how I removed it and following this steps can be dangerous and its recommended that whatever you do you should think its ok and not unethical. If anything unintended happens I am not responsible for the effect though.
Say you have installed the Oracle at
Now the first step is to physically delete the directory using the Shift + Del Keys.
After doing that open the registry by typing the regedit in the Run Command dialogue box.
Start searching for the entries C:\ORANT and as you find them start deleting them but keep in mind that you delete the sole entries of C:\ORANT\ and subfolders entries and not the path variables and other variables where C:\ORANT is just a part of it. Manually edit the path variables.
Also start for searching the folder in the left panel Name ORACLE without quotes and delete that folder completely from the registry.
After doing this Reboot the machine and now you are ready to install any Oracle version.
Re: Uninstalling Oracle 8 Personal Database
But there is a threat tht we may delete any other registry entry so its better to use any software tool such as 'Registry Cleaner' for removing registry logs. But doing this dont forget to take backup bcoz prevention is more better than cure.....
Re: Uninstalling Oracle 8 Personal Database
Doing manually there are less chances that you may delete something that is unncessary if you keep in mind
Re: Uninstalling Oracle 8 Personal Database
can anyone tell me how to connect oracle 8i after uninstalling it?

Multiple Myeloma Clinical Research Clinical DirectorH. Lee Moffitt Cancer & Research InstituteTampa, Florida, USA
SUMMARY:by Lynne Lederman, PhD
Toxicities associated with novel agents include thromboembolic events (TE) or hypercoagulable states, neurologic toxicities, hematologic toxicities, and skin reactions. TE are associated with the use of the IMiDs thalidomide and lenalidomide, but are also associated with untreated amyloid and MGUS as well as with multiple myeloma. Studies suggest that the use of bortezomib might eliminate the risk of TE. Further study is needed to compare low dose aspirin with low molecular weight heparin as prophylaxis against TE. Neurologic and hematologic toxicities associated with bortezomib or the IMiDs may require dose reduction and/or less frequent doses. Skin reactions may be non-symptomatic, requiring monitoring and allowing continuation of myeloma therapy, or symptomatic, requiring discontinuation of myeloma therapy and treatment of the symptoms. Dr. Hussein commented that the patient must be viewed as a whole, and can't be ignored while only the disease is targeted. He agreed with a comment from Dr. Berenson that peripheral neuropathy associated with bortezomib was manageable and reversible, and that new agents could be used treat symptoms.

Comments about Stanley Bottles Stanley One Hand Vacuum Mug - 8 Hour:
This vacuum bottle is a brilliant bit of engineering. It's solid, totally leak-proof and packable and keeps liquids hot for at least 8 hours.HOWEVER... unfortunately, when used with hot liquids, the material the lid is made of emits a foul petroleum flavor and smell immediately upon contact with heat. I scrubbed with dish soap, soaked in lemon juice, soaked in baking soda and water, soaked in vinegar- the nastiness continues without so much as a reduction in pungency. Despite all of the pros to this product, Ccoffee that tastes like Finish Line degreaser smells kind of negates all of 'em.Because all of the other features are so amazingly awesome, this is a particularly heavy bummer. Now, I contacted Stanley and they are going to send me a replacement lid (replacements only come in black, and quite possibly the blue lid that mine came with is of a different compound) as soon as they come back into stock (currently back ordered). So upon receipt of the replacement lid, I'll give it another try and update this review accordingly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Chairman/CEO plans games, tech overhaul
TOKYO — Howard Stringer is taking a hard look at Sony's hardware biz.
The Japanese conglom unveiled on Friday a major operational reorganization and management shakeup that comes just one month after the company disclosed that it faces record losses of $2.7 billion this year. Stringer will take on the job as prexy of Sony in addition to chairman and CEO.
Stringer has essentially ousted current prexy Ryoji Chubachi, who will become vice chairman as of April 1, charged with assisting Stringer and overseeing Sony's environmental policies and product safety and quality efforts.
Sony is rejigging is core electronics biz, which has become a money loser after years of being the company's main cash cow. It also will spotlight the games division, which has been struggling to boost profitability since the troubled PlayStation 3 rollout. Stringer, with all the reins of corporate power now in his hands, will direct the overhaul.
The changes will not affect Sony Music Entertainment or Sony Pictures Entertainment, which remain separate entities.
"This reorganization is designed to transform Sony into a more innovative, integrated and agile global company with its next generation of leadership firmly in place," Stringer said at a news confab in Tokyo on Friday. He called the shakeup a move to "accelerate the transformation of the company that began four years ago. They will now make it possible for all of Sony's parts to work together."
Sony will form two business units: the Networked Products & Services Group, which will include Sony Computer Entertainment as well as its PC and mobile devices businesses; and the New Consumer Products Group, which will include televisions, digital cameras and camcorders.
The Networked Products & Services Group will be headed by SCE prexy-chief exec Kazuo Hirai, who will retain his position as head of Sony's game biz. The New Consumer Products Group will be topped by Hiroshi Yoshioka, prexy of Sony's TV Business Group. Yoshioka will also become Sony's executive deputy president while turning over the TV group to Sony exec veep and Vaio biz boss Yoshihisa Ishida.
The move is seen as elevating Hirai's profile despite the recent struggles of Sony's games division. Sony observers said Hirai will be under pressure to implement Stringer's vision of focusing on developing proprietary hardware and software products that are integrated to give Sony a greater market share in cutting-edge emerging platforms.
Sony has been hit hard by the strengthening yen and the global softening in demand for its products, including Bravia flat-panel TVs, Vaio PCs and PS3 consoles. Last month, Sony announced 16,000 job cuts worldwide, including 8,000 full-time staff. Stringer said Friday that he is targeting another $3 billion in cost cuts after scrutinizing weaknesses across the company's vast electronics biz.
Sony stock fell 69% in 2008 after having gained for four years.

To the Editor.—
The question of whether to do routine cholesterol screening in children is one that is being hotly debated across the country.1 I wish to make reference to an epiphenomenon that my practice group of pediatricians sees every day. We do routine cholesterol screening for children as young as 3 years. If the cholesterol level is higher than 4.70 mmol/L (180 mg/dL), a letter and suggested dietary changes are sent to the parents and another appointment is suggested, after the child follows the diet plan for about 2 months. We follow up lipid or cholesterol levels as indicated.Regardless of the cholesterol level, we have found that, by focusing on it, we have improved the diets of our patients enormously. The impetus for this improvement, I feel, is not our letter and the enclosed diet, but rather the parents' concern over their family's cholesterol levels, a concern

XProtect Update Pushed, Time to Update Flash for Mac
The last time Apple pushed an XProtect Update, the company deprecated and blocked older versions of Java. Today, however, it's Adobe's Flash Plugin that has been blocked due to some as yet unspecific security issue.
Of course, when Apple blocked older versions of Java, they pointed folks to the lasted version of Java for Mac available from Oracle. With today's XProtect update, which blocks Flash 11.8.800.94, Adobe doesn't get the same love — no helpful pointers from Apple.
Nevertheless, Flash 11.8.800.168 is available from Adobe. You can also initiate the update via System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Check Now.
And, if you are wondering how I knew within minutes that Apple had pushed an XProtect update, here's the answer — an XProtect Update Notification Center alert tutorial. Yeah, there's a little Terminal voodoo, but it's quite easy to make happen.
