Advair HFA
(fluticasone propionate 45 mcg and salmeterol 21 mcg) Inhalation Aerosol
(fluticasone propionate 115 mcg and salmeterol 21 mcg) Inhalation Aerosol
(fluticasone propionate 230 mcg and salmeterol 21 mcg) Inhalation Aerosol
Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (LABA), such as salmeterol, one of the active ingredients in ADVAIR® HFA Inhalation Aerosol, increase the risk of asthma-related death. Data from a large placebo-controlled US trial that compared the safety of salmeterol with placebo added to usual asthma therapy showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in subjects receiving salmeterol (13 deaths out of 13,176 subjects treated for 28 weeks on salmeterol versus 3 deaths out of 13,179 subjects on placebo). Currently available data are inadequate to determine whether concurrent use of inhaled corticosteroids or other long-term asthma control drugs mitigates the increased risk of asthma-related death from LABA. Available data from controlled clinical trials suggest that LABA increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients.
Therefore, when treating patients with asthma, physicians should only prescribe ADVAIR HFA for patients not adequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or whose disease severity clearly warrants initiation of treatment with both an inhaled corticosteroid and a LABA. Once asthma control is achieved and maintained, assess the patient at regular intervals and step down therapy (e.g., discontinue ADVAIR HFA) if possible without loss of asthma control and maintain the patient on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not use ADVAIR HFA for patients whose asthma is adequately controlled on low-or medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
ADVAIR HFA 45/21 Inhalation Aerosol, ADVAIR HFA 115/21 Inhalation Aerosol, and ADVAIR HFA 230/21 Inhalation Aerosol are combinations of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate.
One active component of ADVAIR HFA is fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid having the chemical name S-(fluoromethyl) 6α,9-difluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-16α-methyl-3oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carbothioate, 17-propionate and the following chemical structure:
Fluticasone propionate is a white powder with a molecular weight of 500.6, and the empirical formula is C25H31F3O5S. It is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide, and slightly soluble in methanol and 95% ethanol.
The other active component of ADVAIR HFA is salmeterol xinafoate, a beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator. Salmeterol xinafoate is the racemic form of the 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid salt of salmeterol. The chemical name of salmeterol xinafoate is 4-hydroxy-α1-[[[6-(4phenylbutoxy)hexyl]amino]methyl]-1,3-benzenedimethanol, 1-hydroxy-2naphthalenecarboxylate, and it has the following chemical structure:
Salmeterol xinafoate is a white powder with a molecular weight of 603.8, and the empirical formula is C25H37NO4•C11H8O3. It is freely soluble in methanol; slightly soluble in ethanol, chloroform, and isopropanol; and sparingly soluble in water.
ADVAIR HFA is a purple plastic inhaler with a light purple strapcap containing a pressurized metered-dose aerosol canister fitted with a counter. Each canister contains a microcrystalline suspension of micronized fluticasone propionate and micronized salmeterol xinafoate in propellant HFA-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane). It contains no other excipients.
After priming, each actuation of the inhaler delivers 50, 125, or 250 mcg of fluticasone propionate and 25 mcg of salmeterol in 75 mg of suspension from the valve. Each actuation delivers 45, 115, or 230 mcg of fluticasone propionate and 21 mcg of salmeterol from the actuator. Twenty-one micrograms (21 mcg) of salmeterol base is equivalent to 30.45 mcg of salmeterol xinafoate. The actual amount of drug delivered to the lung will depend on patient factors, such as the coordination between the actuation of the inhaler and inspiration through the delivery system.
Prime ADVAIR HFA before using for the first time by releasing 4 sprays into the air away from the face, shaking well for 5 seconds before each spray. In cases where the inhaler has not been used for more than 4 weeks or when it has been dropped, prime the inhaler again by releasing 2 sprays into the air away from the face, shaking well for 5 seconds before each spray.
What are the possible side effects of fluticasone and salmeterol (Advair Diskus, Advair HFA)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

[quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="DavenIII"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]
god bless america....

Of course Morehead called it. Even though Vegas odds were 80/20 for an overturn.

Its funny that the court found the mandate unconstitutional under the Commerce clause, which the administration was arguing. they ruled that the only way it can be constitutional was if you call it a tax. Of course if the Dem's had called it a tax, it would never have passed.

So who wins? Beaurocrats certainly. Who loses? People like Matt who will be forced to buy health insurance even ifthey arelaid off and can't afford it. If he refuses he is charged a penalty. If he refuses to pay that, he goes to jail.

Yes...Its a great day to be an American. Matt's in jail.

that's the most frustrating part, people like Matt and Lando and the most zealous supporters of this bill are the ones who will be HURT the most by it, they simply don't understand it, they need the issue simplified for them so they understand that it's bad for THEM then they would change their minds....well it might be too late now, now they will find out themselves in 4ish years....
Don't bring Lando into this.

And yes, this represents the largest tax increase to the middle class in the history of the country.

Funny thing is that the only ones hurt ARE the middle class. The rich have their healthcare and the poor have Medicaid. This hurt guys exactly like Matt. Guys who are young and don't want to pay huge healthcare insurance costs because they are healthy. Now they will be forced at the point of a gun to do so. Thats choice has now been taken away by the affirmation of the mandate.

Matt's demographic is the exact group that will be hurt the most. Its ironic.

But thats not the point. he thinks its a competition and not about public policy and good law. Its some kind of "stick it to the GOP" thing. The ones really hurt are guys like Matt.

A young healthy person should have the right to say, "I don't want to pay for health insurance". For some reason, Matt is celebrating that right being taken away.

[/quote]My wife and I have had health insurance since we got married In those days I worked at the ship yard health care was free to me " blue cross blue shield"with dental..When I left the ship yard for self employment my wife picked it up from her job Federal Blue Cross which is not free...I think we pay around 3500.00 a year these days...

My point is if you can afford it you should have it...one trip to the hospital for a week could bankrupt a person for Christ sakes...I think we can all agree that something needs to be done the cost of health care and medsis outrageous...don't tell me there is no greed involved here...

the question is how do you doit... that is.... have care for everybody that needs care regardless of insurance status....you just can't let people die in the streets can ya....is it your opinion that all people who don't have health insurance are losers,lazy *******s and such!? I think not...Sure there are some but noteverybody out there that doesn'thave health insurance is a lazy no good for nothing...

I don't like the mandate anymore than te next guy...I mean there are many workers/jobs in this part of the country that just don't pay enough to afford insurance and now your going to tax them for not having it seems odd to me ..so where's the cut off...you getmy drift here......Look in a perfect world everybody goes to work no-body's on the system everybody has insurance etc,etc...

the status quo isn't working and obcare may not be the answer either...but its at the very least an attempt to do something....don't get me wrong here I don't like the lazy *******s milking the system either..but its way more complicated than that.....the fortunate have to help out the unfortunate ....how about the drug companies give a few pill away for free to the needy....**** it I'm just rambling....sorry

Jenny McCarthy Headed to Late Night
Jenny McCarthy is set to head back to television, debuting her very own talk show, The Jenny McCarthy Project, on VH1.
Jenny McCarthy has been making huge waves in the press lately. Just a few months ago her eighth tell-all book, Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic, in which she talks about modeling for Playboy, a lesbian fling and other juicy tidbits of her past, hit the shelves to rave reviews; she cohosted Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve alongside Ryan Seacrest, where she rang in the new year kissing a lucky sailor in Times Square; and now she's set to head back to television, debuting her very own talk show, The Jenny McCarthy Project, on VH1. Don't expect her show to follow the generic late-night formula; she's promising a whole new spin on interviewing and is taking pointers from Hugh Hefner's 1960s show Playboy After Dark.
"What is missing in late night—to me—is a bit of sexiness. Not that Jay Leno is not sexy, but I l feel like the template that I talked about is Playboy After Dark," she told The Examiner. "What I love that Hugh Hefner did was kind of have this sexy, after-hours party but also have really great conversations with his guests. That was really my goal…trying to incorporate that kind of sexiness with having really great conversations with celebrities."
Jenny has also said that The Jenny McCarthy Project will have a new twist on interviewing celebs: lying on the ground and talking to cameras overhead. She's also pulling from her old job as a host on MTV's Singled Out, saying she will always be the girl who is "cheering on the girls and making fun of the guys."
Jenny's talk show will premiere on VH1 February 8th at 10:30 pm EST.

Apartment is on the 4th floor in the building with elevator.
Embrace the character and color of Shoreditch, a creative haven for artists and designers.
In Shoreditch, empty walls are future murals. The neighborhood's industrial warehouses and dingy side streets offer plenty of potential space waiting to be reimagined. Old brick warehouses have transformed into interactive art galleries, and countless buildings have served as Banksy's canvases. Shoreditch's appeal as a creative playground stems (at least, in part) from an urban, gritty underbelly, but clean-cut treasures aren't in short supply—Shoreditch's design sensibilities also influence its trendy pubs and cafes.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Apartment very nice and comfortable.
Very close to downtown.
We were 7 people in the apartment and we were very pleased. Very centrally located and perfect for a weekend.
The hostess is very friendly and uncomplicated! Top
Wir waren mit 7 Leuten im Appartement und wir waren sehr zufrieden. Sehr zentral gelegen und perfekt für ein Wochenende.
Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und unkompliziert! Top
Nice apartment. It was a shock to have to pay so much money in advance as a deposit. And that there was no Katharina at all, but a big organisation....
Perfect location ! Very beautiful apartment big and high ceiling. Nice beds, good kitchen and very nice with two bathrooms!
I'd choose this apartment only then, if I am 1) late with the reservation and 2) plan to stay just for one night. The apartment is functional, clean. But without any soul. If you'd expect to feel there like in a 2nd home, you won't get it there.
Comfortable accommodation, complete with everything. Very served: minimarket downstairs, Elephant & Castle station nearby to get anywhere in London. 2 bathrooms, missing only the bidet .... but London is too much to ask! Very good.
Alloggio confortevole, completo di tutto. Molto servito : minimarket sotto casa, fermata Castle&Elephant vicina per raggiungere qualsiasi punto di Londra. 2 bagni, mancava solo il bidet.... ma a Londra è chiedere troppo!Molto buono.
The apartment is centrally located and well connected, very spacious with the basic elements necessary for a comfortable stay (kitchenware, household clothing, small appliances, etc.).
On the negative stress that is not an apartment adapted for handicapped or children in prams, the front door to the apartment can not be completely open and there is a flight of steep stairs to the elevator. In our case it was essential to have known this information previously, when you have to travel with a girl in a special adapted car. In addition we miss some and brush and dustpan to sweep and clean the floors. The bathroom should be improved a little, lets the rest of the house.
I would recommend for the location and space, but lack some details of information and improve cleaning up the rental value.
Regards and greetings.
Juan Manuel Hidalgo.
El apartamento es céntrico y bien comunicado, muy amplio y con los elementos básicos imprescindibles para una cómoda estancia (menaje, ropa hogar, pequeños electrodomésticos, etc).
Como puntos negativos destacaría que no es un apartamento adaptado para minusválidos o niños en cochecito, la puerta de la entrada a la vivienda no se puede abrir totalmente y hay un tramo de escaleras empinadas hasta el ascensor. En nuestro caso era fundamental haber conocido esa información previamente, cuando tienes que viajar con una niña en un coche especial adaptado. Además echamos en falta algún y cepillo y recogedor para poder barrer y limpiar los suelos. El baño debería mejorarse un poco, desmerece al resto de la casa.
Lo recomendaría por la ubicación y el espacio, pero faltan algunos detalles de información y mejorar la limpieza para subir el valor del alquiler.
Atentamente y saludos.
Juan Manuel Hidalgo.
It was a wonderful experience to be there in Pragu and to stay in the Upper Rooms with the view to the River. Your hospitality is amazing and arrangements were great. keep it on. If myself and my friends get a chance again to visit prague, we will be staying there surely. Thanks most sincerly for the accomodations.
sincerly Vincent Moolan
We had a great stay in this very big apartment. It is situated in the centre, everything (supermarket, sight-seeing, restaurants) is in walking distance. The building is in a busy street so there is some noise from traffic and people, especilally in the summer when the windows are open. Friendly host, highly recommended.
We are a group of four friends and we have had a very good time in this apartment. The central location appealed to us, this is all walkable easily by foot viz. The apartment was just not very clean and there were missing some things. But that can not possibly expect for this competitive price. Overall, good price / quality ratio.
Wij zijn een groep van vier vrienden en wij hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad in dit appartement. De centrale ligging sprak ons erg aan, hierdoor is alles namelijk eenvoudig per voet te belopen. Het appartement was alleen niet heel erg schoon en er ontbraken wel enkele dingen. Maar dat kan men wellicht niet verwachten voor deze scherpe prijs. Kortom, een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

Candle use is prohibited at UTSA unless approved by the safety
office. At home, don't leave a burning candle or cigarette unattended.
Holiday tips: Fire safety at work and home
By J. Brian Moroney
UTSA Director of Environmental, Health, Safety and Risk Management
(Dec. 14, 2007)--As we enjoy the holidays with special events at work and gatherings of family and friends at home, it's a good time to think about fire safety -- an important idea year-round.
Here are some tips for fire safety at UTSA and away from the workplace.
For more information, call (210) 458-5250.

How to Improve Fire Safety at UTSA
- Keep corridors and hallways clear of obstructions at all times. No item should ever be placed in an exit corridor without permission of the Office of Environmental, Health, Safety and Risk Management, (210) 458-5250. Unapproved items blocking exits will be removed.
- To ensure safe egress in case of fire or other emergency, never lock or block exit doors.
- Do not use extension cords -- these are for temporary, emergency use only. Surge-protected, multi-plug units are allowed, but plugging multiple units together (ganging) is prohibited. Contact the safety office if you have questions regarding use of extension cords.
- Never store an items in stairwells.
- Never obstruct fire alarm lights and exit signs.
- Never store anything within 18 inches of the ceiling in rooms with fire sprinklers.
- Never store combustible items within 18 inches of light fixtures, supply air vents or air-return vents.
- Never store combustible items such as paper, cardboard, wood or plastic in mechanical rooms or electrical closets or breaker rooms.
- Lighted candles are prohibited at UTSA work locations and in student residence facilities including apartments and dorm rooms. Candles may be used at special events only if the safety office approves use.
- Always keep clear access to electric panels, fire alarm pull stations, fire extinguishers, gas shut-off valves, safety showers and eyewash stations.
- Use only electric portable space heaters that are UL-listed or equivalent, do not have exposed heating elements, have automatic tip-over shut-off protection and are used according to manufacturer instructions.
- Smoking at UTSA is prohibited in all indoor locations, all university vehicles and within 20 feet of a building entrance.
How to Improve Fire Safety Away from Work
- Know at least two exit routes whether you are at home or in a store, restaurant, club or theater. The closest exit may not be the one you used to enter a room. Look for lighted exit signs.
- Make a fire escape plan at home and practice the escape routes at least twice a year. Studies have shown that children and teens often sleep through an activated smoke alarm, but will wake at the sound of a loud, familiar voice. Shout before you go out!
- Change your household smoke alarm batteries when daylight savings time begins or ends.
- Use only surge-protected, multi-plug units, but don't plug multiple units together.
- Check entranceways, stairs and hallways for proper lighting.
- The No. 1 cause of fires in the home is unattended burning candles and cigarettes. Don't leave or go to sleep with a burning candle or cigarette.
- Have a portable fire extinguisher easily accessible in high-hazard places such as the kitchen and garage. If you only have one, put it under or by your bed.

Movie Review: The Best Man Holiday

14 years after The Best Man, the Christmas-themed sequel brings an irresistible charm and chemistry.

Director: Malcolm D. Lee
Rating: R
Studio: Blackmaled Productions
Stars: Monica Calhoun, Morris Chestnut, Melissa De Sousa
Never saw or have since forgotten the 14-year-old wedding comedy hit The Best Man? Not to worry, because the montage sequence for the enjoyably salty, sentimental and sometimes preachy Christmas holiday–themed, awkwardly titled sequel The Best Man Holiday brings us up to speed on just what this pack of close friends has been up to all these years later.
The whole charismatic gang from the first flick is back—Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut, Monica Calhoun, Harold Perrineau, Regina Hall, Melissa De Sousa and Terrence Howard among them—and writer-director Malcolm D. Lee contrives to have them all spend the holidays at the showy estate of star running back Chestnut and his too-thin, often-coughing wife Calhoun. Uh-oh, looks like holiday heartbreak dead ahead, right? Well, at least not before a few of them have a score to settle, a bed to warm, a personal challenge to overcome, a jaw-dropping sexist point to make and a lip-synch musical number to do. The plot leaves no deck unstacked. Novelist Diggs' new book has bombed, money's tight and he's been dumped by NYU just as he and wife Lathan are expecting a baby after several miscarriages. Meanwhile, there's still a romantic spark between Diggs and MSNBC producer career woman Nia Long, who's not sure she wants to open her heart to her practically perfect, but very white, beau (Eddie Cibrian); Long's commitment phobia isn't much helped by her ringside view of the sniping between married, private charter school owners Perrineau and Hall. Then there's Howard, giving a scene-stealing barnburner of a performance as a skirt-chasing stoner marketing consultant who just may tangle with hot-to-trot reality TV star and troublemaker De Sousa. But, look, plot, characters and logic are almost incidental in this Tyler Perryesque crowd-pleaser with its everything-but-the-kitchen-sink endless shots of sparkly Christmas lights, a funeral, a birth, a crucial NFL game and a whole lot of prayerful speechifying weirdly shoved in alongside the raunch.
But it's talent, looks, charm and infectious, pretty much irresistible chemistry of the cast that make it all work so smoothly. Really, how can a Best Man Thanksgiving or Best Man Valentine's Day not be on the drawing board already?

2004 Clarification of Release Dates
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 05:35 PM MDT | By Neil
Over the past few days, we've recieved many, many feedback submissions about the game's release date. Mainly, they've comprised of things like "my local store is selling it at 7pm on Monday". Today, we can finally lay these rumours to rest and provide everyone with clarification of the game's release dates.
It should first be noted that the official release date still stands as Tuesday, October 26th. However, two of the United States' biggest games retailers, Gamestop and Electronics Boutique (EBGames) have decided they're going to throw away the rulebook and sell it one day early, starting late on Monday evening, to those who have preordered a copy. We're not yet sure if this is going to be the case nationwide, but from the automated calls people have been receiving from both retailers, it's clear that it's going to be on a very great scale. So, our advice is that if you've not yet preordered, get over to the website of either Gamestop or EBGames and choose the instore pickup option. Then, call the store and enquire as to when they'll be selling it; you'll probably be pleasantly surprised :)
The reasoning behind this is simple, but treads on some shady legal ground. Both retailers are signed up to binding non-disclosure agreements, meaning they aren't supposed to sell the game before October 26. Cunningly, the stores will sell the game shortly before they close on Monday evening, meaning that nobody can enquire about their stock levels before the game's release. If anyone of great importance were to ask about their stock the later, they can simply claim they sold it first thing on Tuesday morning, the day of the game's official release.
Unfortunately, Europeans like myself are going to have to wait until this Friday to lay hands on the game. It is somewhat strange, considering a huge proportion of the game's development is done right here in sunny Scotland.
I'm still yet to see a firm release date for Australia, but it's looking likely that it'll be the same as Europe's.
Look for final reviews of the game from IGN and Gamespot tomorrow. With one perfect score from Official Playstation Magazine already, how close to the perfect 10 can San Andreas come?
And finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that Grand Theft Auto is on sale Tuesday for Game Boy Advance. It's been somewhat overshadowed by the coverage given to San Andreas, but if you're looking for a great handheld title, this would be well worth the $29.99 stores are set to sell it for. Rated M, it's not going to shy away from the controversy the other titles in the series have succeeded in causing. Check out the screenshots!

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem worldwide. Hospitals, as the primary incubators of antimicrobial -resistant pathogens, carry the highest responsibility for proper stewardship of our antimicrobial resources. Physician leadership is integral in starting, rejuvenating, and sustaining an effective antimicrobial stewardship program in an acute care setting. Due to the complexity of medical decision-making surrounding antibiotic prescribing, efforts to improve antibiotic use in hospitals has been hampered. The webinar will highlight practical tools, including antibiotic timeouts and standardizing length of treatment for common diagnoses associated with antibiotic overuse. Participants will understand how to use a project plan or the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Driver Diagram for Antibiotic Stewardship to initiate an antimicrobial stewardship program. Webinar participants will also receive a resource list to assist them in future stewardship activities.

Wojciech Szczesny is a tough act to follow - but Reice Charles-Cook is determined to emulate his Polish team-mate one day.
The confident 18-year-old shares many of the characteristics of Arsenal's No 1 and built on his handful of appearances for the Under-18s in the 2010/11 campaign with a full season in the youth team last season.
Reice has progressed through the ranks from the Hale End Academy, his shot-stopping and excellent reflexes catching the eye. He did enough to make the reserves squad on several occasions during 2011/12 and has since signed professional terms with the Club.
With Damian Martinez also impressing for the second string, Szczesny has his work cut out to remain first choice if Charles-Cook and the Argentine can fulfill their early potential.
Teams you played for before Arsenal?
Tulse Hill Juniors (Sunday League, Tandridge) and Forest Hill Boys School (secondary school).
Best advice ever?
Take the rough with the smooth.
Best football moment before joining Arsenal?
Winning the London Cup.
Supported growing up?
Pretended to be on the playground?
Zidane or Robin van 'Cookie' (my ego on the pitch; I've swapped Persie with Cookie!)
Fave kids' TV show growing up?
Dragon Ball Z.
Other sports good at?
Athletics and cross country.
Other clubs interested before signing for Arsenal?
I'm not sure, my parents never told me!
Fave item of clothing?
Dream car?
Audi R8.
Best thing about being part of the Academy?
The quality that's around you.
Three words to describe you as a player.
Technical, mental, physical.
Three words to describe you as a person.
Bubbly, funny, lovely.
Fave comedian?
Bernie Mac.
Most talented team-mate.
I actually couldn't say.
Which current Arsenal player is your role model?
Wojciech Szczesny.
Follow on Twitter.
Eva Longoria, 50 Cent and Chris Brown.
Something we don't know about you?
I'm the best freestyler with a football in the team and the best dancer.


text: Caught and hived two swarms. Set one facing North and one facing South. Noticed that both hives are building comb and laying brood on the west side of the hive first, not in the middle where I had even put some drawn comb. Also looked in the hive that they swarmed from and they too were starting on the West side of the box. Gets more sun on that side so I'm guessing that's the reason. I'm sure it happens to all hives that are shaded more on one side...right?

Swords into Plowshares is the blog of the Peacemaking Program and the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations of the Presbyterian Mission Agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Seeking peace. Striving for justice. Together.
by Sera Chung
Sculpture, the art of mass: the gathering of a presence, the light massiveness of its immanence, the curvature of space. Mass not as a mass but as density and as gravity, as a measure of presence.
The gathering of what is and remains dispersed, of what - at and in the origin, shattering it - pressed forward, dissipated, and dispersed, without there being any need for this violence or any salvation in speaking out against it. On the contrary, it is in seeking to absolve oneself from this violent birth that ruinous violence springs forth... Save that "safe" here ...

While surfing the web I came across a blogger who asked me if I had the choice between a GS 350 and a M37 which would I chose? Well personally neither as I'm not a fan of Mercedes or Infiniti. He then proceeded to tell me that he was thinking of buying one of these which is why he asked me the question in the first place. He wanted comfort, performance, quality, but above all...LUXURY!! So I told him that the M37 made sense to me....only because of the issues that Lexus/Toyota are facing as we speak. However that was just my opinion.So how about you?? Which of these cars do you see as performance, quality, and luxury? Which would you choose??Source: LexusSource: Infiniti
Life.....It's not about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep pushing forward, how much you can take and keep pushing forward! - Rocky Balboa
The Infiniti Looks soo much better. It wins in looks and performance. Or maybe I am just bias, which I admit. But look at it, its like the cockpit was made for jesus himself. Yeah I know I have said that before, but its true dammit. It looks like the seats hugs you, as they do in a Bimmer M5. Those things can hold you so tight, you won't move going around a corver at 90 MPH, if you have the balls to do it.
.**************************************Go Placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Be on good term with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
The infiniti is much more of a drivers car than the GS350. Not saying the GS is a bad car. Personally I like the rough and aggressive style of the Infiniti so I'll take the M37 out of those two.
- KumarCurrently rebuilding my RX-8.
The GS is in desperate need of a refresh. I'll take the M37.
i am not sure if the current body style GS will make it to 2011. i was hoping for the new model in '11, but maybe we will have to wait until '12
thomas artson meet nostrathomas
Not exactly an equal comparo as the GS is on its way out the door. I'm pretty sure the 350 will still take it in acceleration though.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
Between the two, I'd take the M (but make mine an M56). Dynamically, I'm sure the new M will be at/near the top of its segment, as well as being a good value. The GS is way past its sell-by date.However, I just saw it at the Chicago Auto Show and it didn't wow me as much as I expected. This was one of the few cars I can recall that looks better in photos than in person. I was expecting something sleeker and sexier, but it came across as tall and bulbous. It also didn't seem to attract much attention from show-goers...never a good sign.
LexuslvrGmlvr:Not exactly an equal comparo as the GS is on its way out the door. I'm pretty sure the 350 will still take it in acceleration though.You could be right. The 3.5 in the GS makes it's peak torque at a much lower RPm than the 3.7 in the M. The M would probably stop the GS in every other performance test though, but the GS isn't as sport oriented as the M anyway.
How about a TL AWD w/ Tech Package?AWD and it's roughly $3k cheaper than the Infiniti and Lexus. That tech package has some nice amenities to add tooBUT if it were only those two choices, M37
--Australians - They know how to make American cars better than Americans.
M37 by a mile but I'm not sure if I will feel the same when the next GS rolls out. Whenever that may be.
M37 all the way.

M37. GS is nice but too old.
All I can say is that if Toyota wants to be taken seriously they had better pull a rabbit out of their ass for this next GS like Hyundai has done to the Sonata and become a superior leader and not just a very close follower.I'll actually take the M56(no M37) with the truck engine that is until I see the next GS.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
Brown_Pride:M37. GS is nice but too old.Yes the GS has been out for a while...I think most people feel that way and are choosing the M37 because of it.

With a legacy of animal rescue spanning more than 50 years and benefiting more than 28,000 animals, responding to wildlife in crisis is a commitment we take to heart. Working in partnership with state, local, and federal agencies, our rescue teams are on call 24/7 assisting animals that are orphaned, ill, injured or in need of expert care.
Our goal is to successfully rehabilitate animals for return to the wild. The small percentage of animals whose injuries are too debilitating to permit release are given lifelong care.
Our passionate team relies on expertise and creativity to devise new ways to rescue, treat, and return to nature these extraordinary animals. No rescue, no case is ever the same. SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment™ experts have created nutritional formulas and custom nursing bottles to hand-feed orphaned animals; imaginative ways to save sea turtles with cracked shells; prosthetic beaks for injured birds; and even an "animal wetsuit" to help an injured manatee stay afloat and warm.
1963 Hubbs–SeaWorld® Research Institute opens with a commitment "to return to the sea some measure of the benefits derived from it."
1964 SeaWorld opens in San Diego, Calif., where our first animal rescue team is formed.
1976 SeaWorld Orlando rescues its first manatee.
1980 First bottle-raised orphaned manatee, Marina is rescued, successfully rehabilitated, and released.
1989 5,000-pound Bryde's whale is rehabilitated after around-the-clock care and returned to the wild.
1997 JJ, an orphaned gray whale calf, begins her 14-month rehabilitation. She is the largest rescued animal ever returned to the wild.
2000 SeaWorld helps save more than 20,000 oiled penguins and nearly 700 orphaned penguin chicks affected by the Treasure oil spill in South Africa. The same year the SeaWorld Oiled Wildlife Care Center, a public-private partnership for environmental stewardship, is formed.
2003 The SeaWorld & Busch Gardens® Conservation Fund is established. The Fund has since granted more than $10 million to projects around the world.
2005 After Hurricane Katrina, SeaWorld rescues 14 injured or displaced sea lions.
2010 More than 300 cold-stunned, endangered sea turtles are rehabilitated after suffering the effects of record-setting cold—one of the largest rescue events in SeaWorld history.
2010 SeaWorld Animal Rescue Team assists wildlife affected by the BP oil spill, including more than 100 endangered sea turtles.
2011 SeaWorld Animal Rescue Team helps rescue and care for a large group of pilot whales that had beached just north of Key West, Fla. Two of the surviving whales were returned to the open ocean. SeaWorld is providing a permanent home for one of the other survivors.
2012 Around Valentine's Day, SeaWorld San Diego rescued a young sea lion with a severe bullet wound to her flipper after being shot by fishermen. The sea lion, named by SeaWorld staff as Valentine, had the bullet removed by SeaWorld veterinarians and was successfully rehabilitated and returned to the ocean.
2013 After a mass stranding event in St. Lucie county, FL in 2012, SeaWorld Orlando successfully rehabilitates three young pilot whales.
To follow SeaWorld's animal rescue efforts, visit our blog at www.insideconservation.com.
Our Behind-the-Scenes guided tour offers the rare opportunity to visit our Animal Care Center, where rescued animals are rehabilitating and preparing for their return to sea.
What should you do if you see a stranded animal? Do not approach it or try to return it to the water. Notify SeaWorld or another authorized animal rescue organization, a lifeguard or park ranger, or animal control. Take note of details such as the exact location of the animal, physical characteristics, and the condition of the animal. Watch the animal until the authorized rescue team arrives and call the team immediately if the animal returns to the water.

Missoula County Sheriffs Office disposes of dynamite
MISSOULA, Mont. - Saturday started with a bang for many Missoula residents.
At 9:50 this morning, the Missoula County Sheriff's Office EOD team detonated improperly discarded dynamite found at the Missoula landfill.
The EOD team is occasionally called on to collect and dispose of explosives, including old and unstable dynamite that people find in old barns or garages. In most cases, the team transports the explosives to a county facility for detonation, but this morning they decided it was safer to destroy the dynamite where it was found at the landfill.
MSCO dispatch says they received many calls from concerned residents about the explosion.]
"Well, we were sleeping this morning and it woke us up," Missoula resident Chelsea Blom says, "We had no idea what it was. It coulda been a tree crashing into the building, it coulda been a car crashing into the building. We just had no idea at all."
One business experienced the blast from miles away.
"We were just outside loading tires up and it just came as a big concussion wave," says Garret Seesing, Tire Rama employee. "And there was a kind of a whistle or something with it too. We were all taken back by it's echo."
MSCO asks that anyone who locates explosives to call the dispatch line for assistance.

Australians are enthusiastic about commemorating the Anzac Day centenary but they also appear to be fond of leaving things until the last minute.
Almost a quarter of the 42,582 who applied for a ticket to attend the Anzac Day dawn service at Gallipoli next year did so on the ballot's closing day.
There has been plenty of time to apply, with the ballot opening on November 15 last year. But a spokesman for Veterans' Affairs Minister Michael Ronaldson said 9966 people applied last Friday, with 972 squeaking in their applications in the final hour.
Senator Ronaldson said on Sunday that the ballot had "ignited an extraordinary response," from thousands of Australians hoping to be part of a "once-in-a-lifetime experience".
But with only 7600 tickets available, the Coalition is advising applicants to have a plan B.
"Unsuccessful applicants are encouraged to visit Gallipoli at another time in 2015, attend another Anzac Day service overseas, such as Villers-Bretonneux in France, or watch the broadcast of the Gallipoli and Villers-Bretonneux services live on the ABC," Senator Ronaldson said.
There are 8000 places reserved for Australians to attend the centenary service. Along with the 7600 tickets in the ballot, there will be 400 places for high school students and their chaperones. First World War widows will be included as part of Australia's official representative group.
The ballot is divided between 400 double passes for direct descendants of those who served in the Gallipoli campaign, 400 double passes for veterans and 3000 double passes for other Australians.
Ticketek will review the applications and remove any duplicates or incorrect applications before the ballot is drawn. Senator Ronaldson said all applicants would find out about the outcome before Anzac Day this year.
Labor veterans' affairs spokesman Don Farrell welcomed the "massive interest" in attending next year's service.
"The response shows the deep respect held by Australians towards our courageous servicemen and women, the sacrifices made by our nation at Gallipoli and many theatres of war over the past 100 years," he said.
Senator Farrell said he felt disappointed for those who would miss out but the ballot was the fairest and most transparent way to allocate places.
Overall attendance at the Gallipoli centenary service, which will also include New Zealand attendees and official guests, has been limited to 10,500 for safety reasons.

tuscan leather?
I am looking at another leather scent, and Cuir Ottoman and Cuir de Lancome are two of my all-time favourites. (Add Habit Rouge for another.)
How does the spice (cumin and cinnamon) play into the Cuir Mauresque? I like leather florals: the iris in Ottoman and the jasmine in Lancome.
I would appreciate any input.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
tuscan leather?
Cuir Ottoman and Cuir de Lancome are almost akin to one another. I find both to be buttery soft, ambery leathers with birch tar playing a (satisfyingly) prominent role. Their main differences are just as you mentioned: orris in CO and jasmine in CdL.
Cuir Mauresque is more in line with Knize Ten and, to a lesser extent, Santa Maria Novella's Spanish Leather. The driving force being from pyralone and/or styrax. These leathers present themselves as more 'dry' and 'chapped' -a bit more austere than the supple, buttery leather of Cuir Ottoman and Cuir de Lancome.
The spices in Cuir Mauresque are seamlessly blended to the point of being non-descript which serves as a great background to the overall fragrance. The first top note that emerges is a bright orange-rind note, then the dry, slightly powdery leather follows and persists through. Amber and mild spices form the base minus the usual sticky sweetness found in alot of Lutens frags.
The Cuir mauresque is beautifully floral on me. Unfortunatly the new formulation (square export bottle) tend to be an heavy leather with sirupy sweet accord... I have compared the two in the same time (one on each arm), the start is the same but after a few minutes the export was heavy and "bubblegum-ish" when the bell jar test developed a neroli note, creamy floral (there is jasmin) and leather became more dry. I just did a test one time (i dont own the export bottle) so maybe i'm wrong but that's what i experienced,was disappointed.
I purchased a bell bottle of CM this summer and I've been really it and that's saying a lot given I sold my Knize's. It is in the same vein as Knize and Gomma, but I've worn it at least 10 times to understand its differences. The opening is very heavy on cinnamon but is seamlessly blended, not in your face like Rousse. I also find a good amount of civet present -- always a good thing! The spices do calm down and then iris and jasmine play a major part in the heart. I did not know the notes prior to wearing CM, and lo and behold, jasmine and iris are there. The long drydown is probaby where it all goes weird -- it turns to Ambre Sultan -- on my skin anyways -- it stays in the Knize theme on clothes. This is a very unique leather that I highly recommend, and one to that needs to sprayed with abandon to fully encompass in its holy leatheriness!
Thank you all for your kind comments and recommendations. I do look forward to sampling CM and now know there is a difference in the new and old formulations.

I have a mind now to get a friend to buy me a bell jar in Paris!
How would you rank your preferences of CM, CO and CdL? I know preferences are very personal, but I'd like to see who prefers what.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
I sampled this and it is very much like the beloved Knize Ten. The top notes a little more floral and sweeter.
The sample was the export version, but I get a lot of nice leather with florals, and none of the sugary sweetness some people get.
Two thumbs way up!
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
BTW, I've read that Knize Ten Golden Edition is identical to CM. I had that one but sold it a year ago and now I can't remember! In the words of Homer Simpson...DOPE!!!!
I am not a great leather fan, but I very much appreciate Cuir de Lancome, which is a real gem.
Thanks for the synopsis, Manuel.
I think Cuir Mauresque belongs to small subset of leather frags that are done with a large doughy iris note as opposed to the birch tar or oily ptachouli that usually creates a leather note. It's the same doughy iris/fennel seed/heliotrope suede note used in L'Heure Bleue and even Mitsouko (at least the current EDP and extrait, which are the versions I know), so I think it has a more feminine appeal. It's in there at the top with Knize Ten and Creed's Royal English Leather as a leather for people who aren't necessarily leather fans.
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
I find the new export version of CM has been tampered-with. It starts out the same, but then it turns thin and sweet. This has probably something to do with IFRA's restrictions on birch tar. Yes, it is closer to Knize and Etro's Gomma (a truly under appreciated gem) than it is to Cuir de Lancome - which is quite transparent for a leather themed fragrance - no fruit and spice there. It can be found quite cheaply on line. For orange and leather, one of those made in heaven matches, there's Cuir d'Oranger by Miller Harris.
Thanks for the info, it's maybe for that i think the new miss a "burnt and dry" leather note.I find the new export version of CM has been tampered-with. It starts out the same, but then it turns thin and sweet. This has probably something to do with IFRA's restrictions on birch tar.
Gomma is really excellent too and for a reasonnable price, he makes an excellent leather choice.
There is Parfumerie Générale - Bois de copaïba who shares many similitudes with CM (and l'heure bleue).
I find the CM to be a dry leather. (I have only tried the import version.) I actually get a chypre vibe from it. Very similar to Knize Ten.
The CO and the CdL are more floral. At the price of CM, however, the Cuir de Lancome offers more bang for the buck.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
According to the UPS, my bottle of Cuir Ottoman is out for delivery. Hope I like it!
Cuir Ottoman arrived. I am happy. The leather note is similar to Knize Ten I would say.
Cuir Ottoman is the way to go IMO.
Go with Cuir Mauresque.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very nice sewing soace. Good for you to get it.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I have done professional organizing and have just a couple of tips you might find helpful...if you don't mind.
We all like to put things in containers but if the container is not large enough or if you don't group like items, you end up stashing lots of different stuff all over the place. Also, the shelves over your window won't serve you well...unless you like climbing ladders. The magazines and books up there are only going to catch dust. Also, the pegboard is another waste of space. You can't reach over the machine to get the stuff up high.
I see you've got thread distributed amongst several plastic boxes and lots of boxes under things.
So, for a start, group all items like thread into a single area, group scissors, cutters, rulers, needles, pins, all in separate areas. See how much you've got or how much storage you need, go to Walmart and buy all the same type of plastic container (see through) and come home and start neatly placing items in these containers. Don't toss the thread cones, stand them up, etc.
Then take down the pegboard and use it in the garage or laundry room. Get some inexpensive boards and brackets from HDepot and put them up where you've got your pegboard.
Place your boxes with things you use most on those shelves and place the shelves far enough apart to be able to pile up at least two, one on top of the other.
Take the magazine shelf down...it's clutter.
Use the ruler method and fold all your fabric neatly.
Loose the baskets up on top of the fabric and put more fabric high.
Loose the black canvas holder and move your table over to the right. Add more board and bracket shelves to the right of that. Take down that small white shelf with the adhesive. The adhesive should be grouped with glues, etc.
That should get you started and I bet it will be more fun to sew when you can easily put your hands on things you are looking for.
Another thing, and I did this in my sewing room, is be on the lookout or go to Ikea and get a 3 drawer dresser. Make an ironing surface on top and use the drawers to store more craft stuff, etc.
Hope these tips help you. Good luck!

I'm sure my sewing space will NEVER be perfect, cause I am not! I just love to sew!! I like many of your ideas and will implement a couple of them when I have time off during the holidays. Thank you so very much.

I'm SO jealous!! I love the room you have! After my daughter recovers from a historectomy and isn't using my guest room I thought of turning it into a small sewing room...I hope!
Have fun in your "play" room!
Thank You Lord for answering my prayers, in this I am truely blessed!
Nice spaces are great to have, aren't they?
Blessed Be
Buslady, you have a neat stash! I know what you mean about not being able to tell what you did! I have the same problem. I took out 3 large tubs of things I had on my tables and sat it just outside the door. Mind you I had no room to work it was so cluttered with auditioning things for the latest projects I'm working on. My husband came by and asked could he put them in the garage for me. LOL Not even, I need those fabrics and UFO's to work on!
Go figure.
Life is Good!
Visit my blog, closed the website:
Great space. I LOVE the hot pink machine! I sure hope she sews, but in the meantime, she's doing a good job of just looking pretty!
You will be able to organize more once you have been there a while and figure out just what you need to do to have it just the way you want. Keep up the organizing and you'll be happy.

Reviews of this property
The location was just so perfect! From here we explored Paris by foot and everything was reachable. The flat was super cozy and Sabine coorparative and uncomplicated. Thanks for the nice and unforgettable stay!
Ideally situated quiet and comfortable. Proprietor very welcoming. Looking forward to coming back again
The apartment was perfect for staying in and cooking meals or going into the centre of Paris due to it's ideal location. Great trip.
central has everything
good combination bus and metro
centrico tiene de todo
buena combinacion buses y metro
The apartment is cozy, very well located (1st floor, around the corner from the subway), bright and quiet. The kitchen had everything you need for short stays, and the landlady was very friendly and accommodating. We could, for example, leave the luggage until your departure there. One should know that the "Bad" is separated from the bedroom only by a curtain. If you know each other well, that's no problem.
Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, sehr gut gelegen (1. Etage, um die Ecke von der Metro), hell und ruhig. Die Küche hatte alles Nötige für Kurzaufenthalte und die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Wir durften z.B. das Gepäck bis zur Abreise dort lassen. Man sollte wissen, dass das "Bad" vom Schlafraum nur durch einen Vorhang abgetrennt ist. Wenn man sich gut kennt, ist das kein Problem.
Absolutely a perfekt small apartment for two grown up persons. Ideal situated at 1.floor for people who do'nt like climbing high. Silent and pleasant and with all you need. We stayed for 8 days in the mindst af may and was full satisfied.
We had a lovely stay in the appartment. Very nice and living area.
Only the constant failure of the internet spoiled the pleasure partly.
The owner promissed to have that fixed immediatly.
We were very satisfied. The location is ideal, the Composition of the house perfectly. Uncomplicated to contact the owner.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Die Lage ist optimal, die Aufteilung der Wohnung perfekt. Unkomplizierter Kontakt zur Eigentümerin.
Pretty, practical apartment, wonderfully quiet, nice landlord - all the best, happy again!

Depression and diet may be related. Several studies have found that people who ate a poor quality diet — one that was high in processed meat, chocolates, sweet desserts, fried food, refined cereals and high-fat dairy products — were more likely to report symptoms of depression. The good news is that the people who ate a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fish were less likely to report being depressed.
These results are in line with other research findings that healthy diets help protect against disease. For example, studies suggest that people who follow the Mediterranean diet — which emphasizes fruits, vegetables and fish, and limits meat and dairy products — have lower rates of depression and other diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and heart disease.
More research is needed on the connection between depression and diet. In the meantime, it would be wise to cut back on the less nutritious options and make healthier choices.

'Trooshed' is a whole other level of trashed. Pronounced 'trueee-shh-ed' and said similar to 'trashed' but in a british accent so its pronounced 'trooshed'. When you find yourself trooshed , your really drunk, druged up, or a mix of the two to the point of nearly passing out. The term trooshed was first heard by the rapper/celebrity Kid Cudi when he went into recently defining his definition of it in an interview.

In sharp contrast to 2008, when NAFTA was a four-letter word for much of the American public, North American issues were broadly irrelevant to the 2012 campaign. Canada remains a fortunate afterthought in American domestic politics -- although particular cross-border issues remain subject to the crossfires of interest group politics.
Consider the evidence: the Obama-Romney battle was notable for its "courtesy " and "common-sense," and God knows those are terms we all associate with the Canadian political process. Plus, a bunch of voters approved referendums to endorse gay marriage and legalize pot, and I bet those are things Canadians might do too if anyone ever asked! In any case, I'll just note for our American friends that when a columnist giddily claims that "Canadian-ness is spreading like a bad rash," across your country, it's supposed to be a compliment.
History was made last night when President Obama was re-elected for another four year term. What struck me while listening to his acceptance speech was the fact that his words are now part of his nation's historical record. When you look at the House of Commons today you have to wonder where is that sense of history when an MP stands up to read a Member's Statement, a speech, ask a question or if a minister, answer one?

Food Revolution in Theme Parks
Hi Jamie, I was reading the big signs in the food court at a theme park here in Queensland, Australia. There were double cheeseburger/krispy kreme donut and coke combos and pizza/krispy kreme donut combos, the whole board was filled with it all. I work in a theme park and so many people ask for Subway type food but apart from some packaged sandwiches and a few prepackaged salads, there is nothing but hot dogs, dagwood dogs, pizzas and burger combos. I'm sure if there were fresh healthy food it would outsell it all. Maybe when you've finished schools you could start on theme parks.

Re: Food Revolution in Theme Parks
At the Sonoma County Fair each year, we have lots of different vendors. Yes, you can get triple by-pass cheese burgers, fries, pizzas and the like. But they also have healthier choices like veggie burgers, falafels, Greek salads...
I think if they offered some different choices like these that were tasty that people would purchase them. They do here.

Re: Food Revolution in Theme Parks
Hi Macca,
I wonder if you could encourage customers and staff to write to the management of the theme park, when they want healthier food and can't get it?
I suppose at least people go to a them park only for a special occasion, unlike kids going to school and getting rubbish every day.

Re: Food Revolution in Theme Parks
Trouble is, if kids get junk food on special occasions, they might start to think it's special food too!
I know it's not quite the same but when my husband & I went to the Gate to Southwell Folk Festival last summer, the food available & the choices people were making were very encouraging. Some people were going for the burgers but plenty of others were eating at the stands selling locally produced (& often organic) food & drinks. You gut the feeling that junk food just wasn't welcome there. I know folk festivals attract a different crowd than theme parks but if a low-budget local event can do it, why can't they?

Of course its Political!
People such as Richard Stallman are very political but Linus Torvalds is much less so. This creates a good balance between the two individuals. Little bit of Stallman mixed in with Torvalds and GNU/Linux community users and you get something that is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Politics is crucial in everyday life and this is especially true for the GNU/Linux community. We need to be aware of a lot of issues that concern us. Open source software is a big challenge for the established companies such as Microsoft and Apple. They do not want to create products or services that can work with and benefit Linux. They are trying really hard to stifle Linux so that they can protect their markets. This is not fair and hopefully with more people adopting GNU/Linux these companies and many others will no longer be able to ignore us and use tactics that are inappropriate.
For the people who want to stay out of politics and just concentrate on technical issues, that is great. Just don't be too harsh on people who realize that politics is also important and they put their energy into that. A healthy middle ground would be the best. It would be nice to see companies supporting GNU/Linux and taking it seriously. It seems that slowly, hardware and software manufacteurrs are getting the hint but it has been a long and hard battle which will continue for quite a long time to come. It is not easy to ignore politics and especially for a software revolution such as GNU/Linux.

Yes, a balance between the polar opposites of Stallman and Torvalds is needed.ReplyDelete
That said, Torvalds displayed great niavety about Microsft's code donatiom to the Kernel (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/yes_linus_microsoft_hating_disease_and_its_pandemic)
There's nothing more hypocritical than pragmatists arguing that idealists shouldn't be allowed to express an opinion.ReplyDelete
I have virtually zero interest in the technical aspects of computing (these days, at least). I only care about the political aspect (Freedom, corporate politics).
It is entirely my prerogative to decide what aspect of computing I am interested in. How dare Torvalds attempt to dictate otherwise. I might just as easily claim his indifference to Microsoft's crimes amounts to complicity. Is that any fairer than him claiming I have a "disease"?
And he's not the only one chanting these pragmatic slurs against Free Software advocates either - Microsoft Evangelist and Gnome founder, Miguel de Icaza, regurgitates the same clichéd "Black & White" mantra.

Play: On the advice of a fellow Perl Monger I ordered copies of Parkinson's Law and The Mythical Man Month. Turns out I am familiar with Parkinson's observation that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" (and how), now I'll read the book. I'll also finally read Brooks' work in its entirety. And someone in the office was throwing out McConnell's Rapid Development so I snagged that, too. I have at least a good month of reading aside from the 17 or so- yes, I've lost count and yes, a dozen are computer-related- periodicals I already receive.
Returned Sunday from YAPC in Montreal. Driving takes ~7.5 hours including stops and thirty minutes of traffic at the GWB. Heard great presentations and put faces to names and names to nicks. Revitalized my desire to hack code in Perl and thinking about how I can sneak a little more of it into work... I wonder on the status of perljvm. Finally caught up with my email, nearly caught up with the missed work week, not anywhere near caught up on sleep. Surprised to find we have two consultants from a well-known certificate authority on-site to assist in integrating their product. Unsurprised that not much was done in preparation for their arrival.
Whoo! An article I wrote while working as an SA was published on freshmeat as an editorial. Fame (or infamy). Now I need to work on the fortune part.

Reaction to Organizational Announcements on CMM and Six Sigma
After the initial from handwaving and the brandishing of buzzwords, I see the following:
Friends visited. Decided to occupy our friend's husband with
a trip to
to the Trenton Computer
Really, it was a wholly self-less act. I had no
interest. Uh. Yeah.
Ran into a co-worker assisting at a vendor booth and another
buying some equipment. It was nice to see I'm not the only
Picked up a new, in-box, buckling spring keyboard for $20. A genuine, new, IBM buckling-spring type M keyboard with the nice solid *clickety-click* feedback like the ones they used to make for the PS/2. This IBM model has an integrated trackpoint similar to those found on the Thinkpad but I'm not sure I like using it instead of a mouse. For what it's worth, PCKeyboard (formerly Unicomp?) still makes, sells, and repairs those great keyboards. They sell a similar full-size mechanical keyboard with the stick for $99 so I count myself lucky.
Our friend picked up an armload of untested, used equipment: a case with power supply, P2-333, and a BX motherboard for $45 total. He figures he'll install RedHat if the parts are okay.
Nearly bought a pile of six clapped out and stripped Sun IPC's at the flea market for $50 when the rain started. I'd have to sort through to make what would probably be two working units. And what would I do with them? Buy AUI-10BT converters and scavenge extra 30-pin SIMMS so I could run... NetBSD... slowly. Pass.
I also have to wonder what some of the flea market guys were smoking. One guy wanted $55 for a SS10, 40MHz, no ram, 1GB HD, and GX framebuffer. Another wanted $75 for SS20, 50MHz, no ram, no HD. I read on a list this evening that one bright light was hawking a SS/20 with 96MB, 9GB HD, and TGX for $575. Hello? Haven't these guys checked their prices against Ebay?
