How long should one room of hardwood flooring take to refinish?
Reason I ask is we're in the crunch zone for our soon-to-be-here daughter's room. There is hardwood in it and we had intended to refinish that room and two others with hardwood floor. I'm 100% done with the room aside from repainting the doors, and I got some paint splatters on the floor that I had missed. It was recommended that I use this specific solution to remove the paint splatters, but to my surprise (and in no time at all) it's stripping the varnish off.
So, okay fine, lesson learned, but now I have a hardwood floor with some spots of missing varnish. The room truthfully needs redone anyway, so I'm toying with the idea of just redoing it. Thing is, I know my wife wants to get to decorating the baby room and whatnot, so I'm trying to balance my options.
The room is relatively small... pretty much 8x11, fully rectangle with no angles or anything to work around. If this is something I can crunch in this weekend, I'll gladly do it, but before I venture into unmarked territory (I haven't done this before) I figured I'd check here.
A series of Google results suggests that redoing hardwood floors can take 3-5 days, but in each instance they're also referring to an entire house. I'm doing one room. Granted, I know there is dry time involved and whatnot, so maybe the same still applies.
If there's a way to dress up the unvarnished spots, I'd be all for that too, assuming the refinish question will yield a 3-5 day finish time.
Any and all insight is appreciated!
EDIT - Another, likely shorter plan might be to use this solvent to remove the varnish from the entire room, then just re-varnish the whole thing. Thoughts on that? In this case, quicker is the key - because we'll be redoing our other 2 rooms (much larger rooms) later on, so tacking in this smaller one then wouldn't be a big hurdle to cross. I just want it looking half decent in a quick time frame. I know most people aim for quality, but with the inevitable full refinish coming in a year or so, I just want something half decent to hold up for now.
That is a small area---first---how old is the finish? Is it a varnish or a hot wax finish?
I've actually done a room that size with a hand held belt sander---and a scraper---
Time? Depends on the finish on there now--wax is a pain to remove--
Water borne finish can be applied in one or two days---
My wife and I talked last night. She really couldn't express more how little she cared about the floor. She doesn't like the idea of me doing any degree of work to it now since we'll likely be doing a full refinish of all 3 rooms with hardwood flooring next summer.
That's all well and good, but I'm beginning to wonder how I can blend in these spots to make them not look like trash. I've got some 220 grit that I'm going to sand the areas lightly with and go from there.
A suggestion? Rent a big floor buffer with a sanding screen--and a buffing pad--this will clean up all but the corners--and make the best of the existing finish----it's fast and relatively neat work.
Should look good enough until you can get the floors done all at once---Mike----
Appreciate the response. I ended up using an orbital sander with 220 grit. It took most of the imperfections out quite nicely. I heard online that if you wet the wood's worn spots and it looks perfect with the rest of the finish, chances are a clear polyurethane was used. I'm going to do some more reading, but if that's the case, I'll just spot-fix some areas with polyurethane and call it a day.
My cousin just went into labor who's due on the same date as my wife, so my anxiety to get these finishing touches is in the red zone. Plus, now that I've unboxed the furniture and set it in the room, once we get all of that arranged and put down an area floor rug, a large portion of the floor won't be visible to begin with. That'll hold us over until next summer when we redo everything from start to finish. :D
You have an exciting week or two ahead of you--best wishes for a healthy child and a happy wife----good luck to you---Mike-----
It depends on how many coats of poly you want applied.
With a new baby coming I would not refinish the floors. especially with oil based poly. the fumes are strong!. Water based poly is faster drying and not smelly. but doesnt hold up as well as oil poly. in my opinion

15. Two further documents by Paul VI without any direct link to social doctrine — the Encyclical Humanae Vitae (25 July 1968) and the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi (8 December 1975) — are highly important for delineating the fully human meaning of the development that the Church proposes. It is therefore helpful to consider these texts too in relation to Populorum Progressio.
The Encyclical Humanae Vitae emphasizes both the unitive and the procreative meaning of sexuality, thereby locating at the foundation of society the married couple, man and woman, who accept one another mutually, in distinction and in complementarity: a couple, therefore, that is open to life[27]. This is not a question of purely individual morality: [The Holy Father is waging a battle against relativism.] Humanae Vitae indicates the strong links between life ethics and social ethics, ushering in a new area of magisterial teaching that has gradually been articulated in a series of documents, most recently John Paul II's Encyclical Evangelium Vitae[28]. The Church forcefully maintains this link between life ethics and social ethics, fully aware that "a society lacks solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized."[29] ...
[27] Cf. nos. 8-9: AAS 60 (1968), 485-487; Benedict XVI, Address to the participants at the International Congress promoted by the Pontifical Lateran University on the fortieth anniversary of Paul VI's Encyclical "Humanae Vitae", 10 May 2008.
[28] Cf. Encyclical Letter Evangelium Vitae (25 March 1995), 93: AAS 87 (1995), 507-508.

EAO Switch Corporation announced a new multi-tone sound module (MTSM) for use with the Series 56 switch line. The MTSM meets a variety of requirements as outlined by the Persons of Reduced Mobility Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI PRM) and increases passenger awareness above all when used with other ADA components for audible and visual indication. The MTSM can be programmed to emit clear warning and orientation sounds which may be adapted to any operating environment, especially rail vehicles. The module is pre-programmed with three TSI PRM-suitable tone sequences for door opening, door closing, and an orientation signal to help disabled users. Additional sequences for different volumes, directions, and intervals can be programmed. Additionally, the volume can now be adjusted after mounting which makes it easier to set the level according to how loud it is in the middle of the vestibule – a TSI PRM requirement. Using EAO's volume control box, the volume can be remotely adjusted in 1.5 dB steps between 66 dB and 90 dB to achieve the 70d B (+/- 2 dB) prescribed by the TSI PRM.

My wife carries a Bersa Thunder .380. She loves it!
This is a discussion on Taurus PT709 - Discouraged: Range report within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So, my wife went to the range with her sister. Went through several rounds (not sure exact number, but it was less than 200) and ...
So, my wife went to the range with her sister. Went through several rounds (not sure exact number, but it was less than 200) and had 2 FTE. Now, I've shot plenty of rounds through that gun and not one hiccup. Now, with this happening, I'm wondering if I need to trade this in for a reliable firearm. Yes, it was only 2, but what IF she was in the situation that she and my daughter depended on it.
I carry a Glock, she doesn't like the grip. Too big.
So, what is comparable that is proven to work. I'd even consider a .380. NO CALIBER WARS, please!
Am I over reacting?
My wife carries a Bersa Thunder .380. She loves it!
A CCW is like a parachute; if you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
I know there are 100% reliable Taurus products out there, but I just couldnt buy one for my wife. Have you thought about a LC9 or LCP?

Wife , her sis???

Limp wristing her shots.???
You need to go with her next time and evaluate what is going on.
You shoot through all mags first, 2x, then you wife or her sis shoots.
Go about it in a systematic manor, then decide whats going on, and then you'll know what to do.

Yep Could be limp wristing,sometimes having them squeeze a rubber ball will build up hand and wrist muscles so it's not a problem

Sounds like more testing should be done, like OneShot said.... How many over all rounds have you put through it before hand?
could also be the ammo. whitebox winchester stuff has known to cause problems... especial on newer, unbroken in guns.

Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
Ya, I think it was ammo error and a good oil was needed. We fired another 200 rounds without any issues. I have some white/green "mega"pack from Remington that we used. Fires just fine though my G26. Must have been a fluke.
HOWEVER...she did see the Bersa Thunder and we rented and fired 50 down range. She liked that so much more...ended up trading for that. Now have a .380 in the house. I'm actually very impressed with the Bersa...how it feels, shoots, etc...
Thanks guys for the advice.
Bersa's a great. The Bersa Thunder 380 is a smooth and accurate shooter. I have the Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact and I've been thoroughly impressed with it.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Glad she got a gun she really likes. With modern ammo now a days, the .380 can be a good defensive round. And if she likes the gun, she is more likely to carry it and to shoot it well.
Congrats on the new Bersa.

If shes limp wristing it, just go for a .380 IMHO.
Sounds like the issue of possible limp wristing has come up and I would certainly check to see if that is possibly going on.
There is no shortage of bad comments and press about the 709 but I have 2, both have been outstanding guns.
Good luck.
FTFeed, FTExtract, FTEject, jam, double feed, limp wristing, etc., etc., etc. None of these problems affect the ancient wondergun--There is no more reliable defensive handgun than a .38 Special revolver.
Easy to conceal. Perfect for the person who does not practice innumerable practice drills clearing semi-auto malfunctions. Pull the trigger and it works--every time !!! Respectable power, same size hole as a 9mm.
Why are so many people fixated on carrying semi-autos with their numerous failure modes??? Newer ain't necessarily better--just another marketing tool. Gotta have the latest? Smarten up!!!

Ballot Title Approved for Arkansas Marijuana Legalization Proposal
Little Rock, Arkansas -
"We have won the war, yet there's a lot of work that's gotta take place and it's going to be up to the citizens of Arkansas to do it," says Robert Reed, who authored the amendment.
LITTLE ROCK, AR - An Arkansas marijuana legalization proposal is one step closer to the ballot.
This afternoon, the Arkansas Attorney General's office certified the popular name and ballot title of the Arkansas Hemp and Cannabis Amendment.
The amendment proposes that the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, sale, possession and use of the cannabis plant and all products derived from the cannabis plant are permitted.
Approval of the ballot title means that supporters of the amendment can gather signatures of registered voters.
"We have won the war, yet there's a lot of work that's gotta take place and it's going to be up to the citizens of Arkansas to do it," says Robert Reed, who authored the amendment.
The map of America is changing when it comes to marijuana laws. Colorado and Washington legalized pot in 2012. Alaska already has it on the ballot this year. Oregon could be next. Then there's the Natural State. If 78,133 registered voters sign the petition, the issue goes before all Arkansas voters in November.
"This has been a four year battle to get to this stage," says Reed. "This basically ends 80 years of cannabis prohibition, this will make it legal in the state of Arkansas to grow this plant for industrial use, medical use, and yes to regulate for recreational use," Reed says.
Opponents of the measure are also weighing in.
"I just don't believe its an idea that will fly here in Arkansas," says Jerry Cox, president of Arkansas Family Council. "We're setting ourselves up to create yet another road for people to inflict harm, not only on themselves, but on the members of their family, on their children, of everybody who is around them."
Cox not only disagrees with this issue, he also doubts it has the backing to make it on the ballot.
"We've said all along that Colorado and Washington are kind of like the examples of the end of the line with this, where it's just totally legal and we don't wanna see that in Arkansas."
The deadline is July 7 for supporters of the Arkansas Hemp and Cannabis Amendment to submit the petition signatures. Reed says three-thousand people are ready to hit the streets with the petitions to gather those signatures.
The entire AG's opinion is attached above.

can an anorexic who's medically stable be forced into treatment, admitted to a hospital involuntarily or tube fed against their will?
Hi: This is a question that
This is a question that seems to come up fairly frequently - and is not an easy or straightforward one to answer.
Honestly, I can say that admitting someone involuntarily to a hospital for treatment and giving them nutrition against their will is not done without a great deal of thoughtful deliberation and adherence to legal medical policy (which may be different depending upon the location or state). When it is done, it is in order to save the person's life. Of course, once life-saving measures have been provided, the original problem of the eating disorder still remains - so it is a temporary solution at best.
Involuntary tube feeding does however, in some cases offer the person time to medically stabilize so that they are physically healthy enough to enter a treatment program to address the issues that have caused the eating disorder to occur.
Involuntary treatment is especially distressing to individuals suffering from anorexia and other eating disorders as there is so much anxiety around the subject of weight gain. As this anxiety is a large part of the eating disorder, the thought of being "forced" to eat is especially distressing.
Although treatment of any kind may be very scary, it is actually the only way to truly lessen the anxiety around food issues. It is not possible to manage anorexia by trying to stay medically stable while starving yourself - that is not recovery! The issues behind eating disorders such as anorexia run so much deeper than that, and are much more important to your overall health than the provision of so many calories per day.
I know I've answered your question in a round about way, but I hope this helps a little. Please take care.

More than 400 tech and creative leaders, innovators, and visionaries gathered at Telus World of Science in BC for an evening of networking, award presentations, and a panel discussion.
Hosted by The Digital Media and Wireless Association of BC (DigiBC), NextBC connects BC's top tech, digital, creative, and business professionals to present and celebrate the province's vibrant and diverse industrial community.
Attendees got to see, firsthand, the future of BC's tech sector as companies presented their latest innovations during a booth and networking session at the beginning of the evening. Startups and growth companies were able to share their work with digital leaders and tech entrepreneurs at the heart of the local industry.
An awards presentation followed in the Omnimax theater. Hosted by local comedian and radio personality Patrick Maliha, the awards ceremony honored five companies in five categories. The winners were as follows:
|Most Innovative Startup:
|Adrroit Technologies
|Most Innovative Entertainment Company:
|Most Innovative Digital Media Company:
|Tradable Bits
|Most Innovative Business Solution:
|Most Disruptive Innovation:
|H+ Technologies
The five winners then participated in an interactive panel discussion, during which the judges asked a series of questions to determine the winner of the Most Innovative Company of the Year Award. Congratulations to H+ Technologies, who won that honor!
It was a wildly successful and inspiring event. Our SPS volunteers were thrilled to be among such great minds thinking forward and head to the future of technology and engineering.

A night in Tunisia, sang Ella Fitzgerald, is "a tale/Too exotic to be told". Perhaps the composer of that tune, Dizzy Gillespie, had spent the night in question tuning his zither - all 72 strings of it, making the phrase a wry Tunisian euphemism for sensual indulgence. The "desert sand" of the song, beloved also of Star Wars fans (Luke Skywalker's home planet, Tatooine, is a real southern Tunisian place name) is worlds away from the lush sub-tropical greenery of the capital in the north. Yet if it's not quite camel-trekking in the starlit Sahara, a weekend in Tunis still makes for a warmly exotic winter retreat.
At the centre of the city is the medina, the walled old town founded 13 centuries ago and now designated a Unesco World Heritage site. You can spend most of a day exploring its warren of low, arched stone passageways. Shops selling carpets, leather, silverware, khaftans and jewellery are festooned with twinkling fairy lights; strings of scarves and multi-coloured beads hang from rods spanning the width of the alleys. Tunisians everywhere are engaged in the long game of barter: a prospective buyer feigns outrage with an amicable bark and begins to walk away; the stallholder calls confidently that he'll be back. Down another passageway, a grinning old man displays racks of traditional headwear, shashia and fez, and - a commercially necessary modern barbarism, it seems - baseball caps made from the same purple-dyed wool.
Some of the shops here are still laid out as old medina houses: one delightfully eclectic antique emporium, CD Dar, offers swords in an urn, old cameras and flintlock rifles, a squeezebox or an organ. From its roof terrace, you can peer out over the top of the medina: a skyline decorated with glazed green rooftiles and a forest of slender spires and domes. Below, the frenetic activity of the souks is invisible under the undulating stone roofs, whose interlocking curves begin to resemble patterns in the dunes.
It's worth deliberately wandering off the busiest shop-and-café routes: some alleys are peacefully deserted, and sunlight bludgeons through gaps in the roofs to wash the stone in captivating shades of russet and gold. Dart down one such and you come across the Musée des Arts, a lovingly-preserved 19th-century bourgeois household with chandeliers, gilded furniture and exquisitely-tiled walls, laid out in the old way around a central courtyard. To aid historical visualisation, each room hosts a tableau of waxwork dummies dressed in their finest robes and jewels.
There is no point trying to plan a route through the medina: although attractions such as the museum are helpfully signposted around the central Zitouna Mosque, it's not the sort of place where you'd purposefully march from A to B and cross off the sights. You might be led off course by the promise of a prickly pear or by the heady intermingled wafts of sizzling food and perfumeries (the prophet Mohammed, it is said, disdained wealth and power, but confessed two weaknesses: women and scent). And, at regular intervals, the chatter of commerce and idle gossip in Arabic, French and English, mixed with the polite shouts of men trying to wheel enormous, glistening fish past you on the dark, slippery cobbles, is joined by transistorised minarets, and the crowds begin to move with more purpose as the faithful heed the call to prayer.
Lunch should be savoured opposite the main entrance of the central mosque, at the ridiculously cheap Restaurant Mahdaoui, which serves delicious fried tuna with egg in tomato sauce, or lamb couscous. Later, out of the medina and on to the street as sunset approaches, the main Avenue Habib Bourguiba, thronged with tourists, street performers and promenading Tunisians, fills with a symphonic cheeping. Thousands of starlings flock here every day at this hour, swooping hungrily among the olive trees, passing ecstatically high-pitched judgment on the quality of the fruit. The terrace of Hotel Africa - at four stories, once the tallest building in Tunis - will happily furnish beer while you watch them wheeling through the warm evening air.
'To Carthage then I came . . ." Even the venerable medina is a brash architectural upstart next to the remains of the citadel here that once ruled as much of the Mediterranean as anyone thought important enough to subjugate.
What's left of the ancient city of Carthage perches in Ozymandian grandeur atop a hill to the east of modern Tunis. This is where, according to legend, Dido arrived on the run from Tyre nearly three millennia ago: the local king told her she could have as much land as could be covered by an ox-hide. Resourcefully, she cut the skin into thin strips and stretched it all around the top of the hill.
Proud Carthage, of course, was eventually sacked by the vandals of Rome, and the replacement Roman city, in a kind of historical poetic justice, was later kicked down by the Vandals themselves. For centuries afterwards, its remains were looted for building material, and gradually overtaken by agricultural use. Now, from the top of Mount Byrsa (which translates as ox-hide), you can inspect the poignantly-deserted grid layout of a Punic village, with some mosaic floors still intact, and gaze across at the twin ports through which all the sea's wealth passed.
There are still some massive stone catapult balls strewn around the acropolis, silently mourning their failure to protect the city. Behind you, the Museum of Carthage is filled with fascinating artefacts from the Punic, Roman and Byzantine eras, and behind that is the enormous, near-decadent 19th-century French basilica.
Just down the hill are the spectacular ruins of the Antonine thermal baths, among whose maze of dank vaults it is easy to lose yourself in reveries of imperial watersports. A single main column of the frigidarium , or cold pool, spears 45ft up into the cobalt sky: the original building is thought to have been twice as high as that.
If you have the time, it's also certainly worth the four-hour round trip south of Tunis to the extraordinary site of Dougga, an entire Roman town complete with vertiginous mountain-top amphitheatre, a capitol, a temple to Celeste and a mausoleum whose bilingual inscription, now in the British Museum, was vital in the first efforts to decode the Punic language.
All this stamping around, of course, eventually brings on a yearning to put one's feet up in a café and suck on an enormous bong. That, it seems, is what the darling village of Sidi Bou Said was built for, piled up delicately on a rosy-clay cliffside just north of Byrsa. Palm trees fondly wave their inedible golden dates and the narrow, steep streets are lined with buildings that are all washed dazzling white, with sky-blue woodwork - not by accident but by law, an aesthetic edict that curiously manages to avoid the twee. From this sky-village, you can watch the fishermen on the beach below spread their multi-coloured nets, undulating like giant jellyfish, and look across the bay to the twin-horned mountain that has hurried generations of Tunisian artists to the canvas.
But winding down on your last afternoon in Tunis, you'll probably leave the watercolour set at home. Wander up instead to the Café El Alia and try a shisha , or water-pipe, with your coffee. Songbirds in cages philosophise melodically about the idea of freedom, and ornate bronze lanterns swing gently from the rafters.
No one seems to be in a hurry in Tunis - and why should they be? Ancient history is scattered in plain view over the soil: no clearer illustration could be wished for of the fact that everything is in flux, that a single human lifespan is so brief as to win forgiveness for the incorrigible daydreamer. You think again of Ella's song - "The cares of the day seem to vanish" - and decide that, yes, it fits here just as well.
Five of the best

Young professional numbers drop in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The number of young professionals in Colorado Springs has tumbled.
This is according to a report from the Quality of Life Indicators, released Thursday. It shows how regions are performing in 11 key areas.
But for young professionals in Colorado Springs, the numbers don't reflect the success, like Andi Devlin.
He's a young professional who owns Revolution Moving. He says his business is thriving because of what Colorado Springs has to offer.
"It's a great environment intellectually and financially for new business because there is new people in the area," Devlin said.
In 2007, young professionals' share of the Colorado Springs population was 30 percent, but in 2012 it dropped to 27 percent.
Jon Severson runs the Colorado Springs Young Professionals, and he feels the drop in young professionals is not surprising.
"You can blame 100 percent that the number dropped on the fact that we lost a lot of major employers over the last six years," Severson said.
But he expects that number to pick back up.
"If you want to go out and you like to see live music, you want to go mountain biking and you want to go for a run, I mean there are so many options," Severson said.
Devlin said he wants to make his business bigger.
"I hope to continue to expand and have a successful business that's here in the community," Devlin said.
Severson said he has about 5,000 young professionals in his group between Pueblo and El Paso County.

Update: The polls are officially closed. We're now in the process of tallying the votes, so stay tuned for the winning theme. Thanks to everyone that voted and participated in making sure we put on the best, more relevant forum.
It's that time of the year again. Time to start planning our spring forums. There are two in particular that are relevant for Infrastructure and Operations professionals: Our I&O Forum and our IT Forum. But it's the IT Forum that I want to talk about today. Why? Because we're asking for you to help craft its theme. In fact, you may have already seen several of my colleagues posting on this. We want to make sure we collect as much input as possible to make this as relevant to you and your challenges.
We've come up with three potential draft themes and need your vote for the best IT Forum 2011 theme:
1. Unleash your empowered enterprise.
As technology becomes more accessible through mediums beyond IT's control, you have but one choice: Get proactive by empowering employees, or swim against the current. Successful BT leaders will react not by blocking access but by lending their expertise to increase the chances of technology success and empowering the users to solve customer and business problems. This year's IT Forum will provide a blueprint for reaping the benefits of your empowered organization — complete with case studies, methodologies, and step-by-step advice tailored to each IT role.
2. Capitalize on the intersection of business and technology.
Posted by Robert Whiteley III on October 4, 2010
Being an infrastructure & operations (I&O) professional is tough. How do we know? Because you tell us in the nearly 5,000 inquiries the I&O team does each year. We hear your challenges on server, storage, and network technologies. We field concerns on whether you should buy, build, lease, or forgo a datacenter altogether. We get tough questions on mobile devices and how to empower your users. Not to mention all of the "O" challenges around IT service management, asset management, ITIL adoption. The list literally goes on and on. I&O consumes nearly half of the overall IT operating budget – so it comes with a broad set of responsibilities.
That's why I'm excited to announce a new way for you to get your tough I&O challenges solved: Your peers. Starting today, Forrester is launching an online community for infrastructure & operations professionals. It's a premier destination for leaders to exchange ideas, opinions, and real-world solutions to the myriad of I&O responsibilities. Of course, Forrester analysts will be part of the community as well. But our goal is to facilitate the discussion and share our views. This is the place for you to hear from your peers, not just Forrester.
We're also committed to connecting you with as many I&O pros as possible, so the community is open to all I&O readers — not just clients.
Here's what you'll find:

The joint ITU/UNESCO
Global Symposium on Promoting the Multilingual Internet closed with the
chairman encouraging the two organizations to take a lead role in promoting
international cooperation for developing the multilingual internet and
encouraging interested relevant organizations as well as individuals to
actively join these initiatives and strengthen their cooperation in this
regard. Specifically it was said, there is a need for increased ITU/UNESCO
involvement in the harmonization of standards, in addition to their specific
programmes to promote multilingualism and local content throughout the digital
There is, it was agreed, a huge demand for the support of multiple languages
and responding to this in a more coordinated way, experts concurred is a key
way to avoid fragmentation of the Internet.
Chair, Direk Charoenphol, National Telecommunications Commission, NTC, Thailand: "It
is fundamental that, in the end, multilingualism – whether using IDNs, keywords
or contents – be natively supported in operating systems and browsers, not
retrofitted, to avoid the need for plug-ins, which creates a constant source of
user and operational difficulties."
Houlin Zhao, Director, Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, ITU said: "By
organizing this event, ITU has demonstrated its determination to work on these
issues." He thanked UNESCO for its support in the organization of the event.
Elizabeth Longworth, Director, Information Society Division, UNESCO: "We
should not talk about culture as a feature of communications technology -
rather, the internet is a domain of human activity in its own right, where
language and content are manifestations of the users' cultures and so the focus
should be on the users' ability to participate, to become content providers and
to navigate across linguistic boundaries."
A roadmap or guidelines highlighting steps towards a multilingual Internet is
seen as an important initiative. It was agreed that this is a complex task that
requires substantial and strengthened cooperation between relevant bodies.
During the three-day Symposium, a number of presentations were made and
discussions focused on standardization activities and technical solutions for
internationalized domain names (IDNs), for equipping non-scripted languages and
allowing them to be present on the internet, the development and promotion of
local contents, and measurements of the current linguistic diversity on the
internet. Perspectives of domain name registries and an overview of the
associated intellectual property issues that arise when multilingual domain
names are deployed were also presented.
SAM'06, is the short title for the Fifth Workshop on System Analysis and
Modelling (formerly SDL and MSC Workshop). The event will be held May 31st -
June 2nd, 2006, University of Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern,
The event,
which serves as a platform where the evolution and use of system design
languages (SDL) and technologies is discussed, is targeted at academics and
others involved in these areas. The SAM Workshop is organised every second year
by the SDL Forum Society, which is a non-profit organisation established by
language users and tool providers to promote and develop ITU-T modelling
techniques. SDL Forum activity is closely aligned with ITU-T, which recommends
and publishes the languages ASN.1, MSC, SDL, eODL, TTCN and URN. Study Group 17 is ITU-T's Lead Study Group on Languages and
Description Techniques.
For more
information about SAM'06, please see the web page.
SDL Forum
also organises the SDL Forum event every other year that addresses topics
related to the modelling and analysis of reactive systems, distributed systems
such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace and web-based applications,
where SDL are used. The intended audience includes users of modelling
techniques (in industrial research and standardization contexts), tool vendors,
and language researchers.
For more
information about the thirteenth SDL Forum to be held 2007, please see the web page.
The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) authored by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) have been consented as internationally recognised ITU-T Recommendations. The announcement is the first result of the formal relationship between the standardization sector of ITU and OASIS.The standards (ITU-T Recommendations X.1141 (SAML) and X.1142 (XACML)) address the concern of how to allow safe single sign-on, a system that enables a user to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems. While solutions existed in this space, all were proprietary, and therefore not addressing the problem on a global level.SAML and XACML are designed to control access to devices and applications on a network. The need for standards in this area has become more of an issue as business networks increasingly use the public Internet.SAML addresses authentication and provides a mechanism for transferring authentication and authorization decisions between cooperating entities, XACML leverages this information to determine access to resources by focusing on the mechanism for arriving at those authorization decisions.An additional feature of SAML is that it allows organizations to communicate information without any change to their own internal security architectures.
SG16 completed work on a new scalable voice codec - G729.1 - that will significantly improve voice quality in VoIP calls by offering wideband quality. Wideband telephony gives more natural sounding voice and greatly improves intelligibility and listening comfort.
G.729.1 extends the ITU-T G.729 speech coding standard widely used in VoIP systems and is fully interoperable with it. It will allow smooth transition from narrow band (300-3400 Hz) "PSTN" quality telephony to high quality wideband (50-7000Hz) telephony over IP and efficient deployment in existing infrastructures.
G.729.1 can operate at 12 bit rates from 32 kbit/s down to 8 kbit/s with wideband quality above 14kbit/s to dynamically provide the optimum voice quality according to service and network constraints: The bit rate can be adjusted "on-the-fly" during a call by simple truncation of the "embedded" bitstream at any point of the communication chain such as gateways or other devices combining multiple data streams. This highly flexible bit rate adaptation will avoid network congestion and the dropping of packets that severely impair the overall quality.
Group 17 meeting in Korea,
April, gave final approval to the Question on Internationalized
Domain Names (IDN) that provides direction and focus to ongoing

Symposium on Promoting the Multilingual Internet it is
convening together with UNESCO, 9-11 May.
was mandated to work on IDN at the 2004 World Telecommunication Standardization
Assembly in Brazil.
IDN will contribute to easier and greater use of the Internet in those
countries where the native or official languages are not represented in ASCII
Bartosiewicz, representing Poland
and acting as Rapporteur for IDNs said: "We have received a number of
contributions in this area and have been impressed with the level of interest
and the productive nature of discussions. There are a number of organizations
working in the field and I believe coordination will be an important focus of
any work. The upcoming workshop will be a particularly useful tool for
facilitating networking between experts in the field and furthering the study
in general."
said that a webpage will be published shortly with news on ITU-T study in the
area, as well as related events and technical documents. An official 'circular
letter' will be sent sent to Member States he said, requesting information
about their experiences on the use of IDN. Given the response to this
communication SG 17 will be able to better assess the current situation and
The first meeting of the Focus Group on IPTV (FG IPTV)

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is now on sale as a 4.3-inch spinoff to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 and we have gone up close and personal with the sub-sized handset to bring you our Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini video review.
A direct rival to the upcoming HTC One Mini, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is one of a trio of spinoffs from the flagship Android phone, hitting retailers alongside the camera heavy Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and the waterproof Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.
"Demand for the Galaxy S4 has been phenomenal since it launched in April and we hope to build on this success with the Galaxy S4 Mini," Simon Stanford, Vice President of IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said at the time of the handset's unveiling. "This new handset is the ideal smartphone companion for anyone who wants a compact device packed with innovation."
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Features
Replacement to the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, the S4 Mini sees a reduced array of specs over its flagship sibling paired with a lower price point, a combination that makes a solid mid-market offering.

I will be sharing with you on how to avoid diabetic complications. Complications can be avoided through good diabetes management. Long term diabetic complications are the result of one or more parts of your body becoming damaged as a result of diabetes. Long term complications can be prevented and research indicates that it is possible to minimize complications or avoid or prevent them altogether.
What are the main long term complications?
The most common long term complications of diabetes include:
Heart disease - known as cardiovascular disease
Kidney damage - known as nephropathy
Eye damage - known as retinopathy
Nerve damage - known as neuropathy
Limb amputations - particularly lower leg amputations
How can I prevent these complications?
Spelt out clearly below are steps we can take to prevent, delay or minimise the effect of complications:
Keeping blood sugar under control
Getting regular physical activity
Eating a healthy diet
Attending all your diabetic reviews and screenings
Cutting down or avoiding smoking
Cutting down or avoiding alcohol.
Diabetes rates are rising, in fact it is now considered an "epidemic" in the medical community.
Diabetes is a well-established problem and a multi-billion dollar industry.
There are various causes of diabetes, which include Genetic Factor, Stress, Toxins, Adrenals and Excess Sugar
But How Do We Fix It?
All of the above contributing factors don't usually happen by themselves.
Since the body functions as a whole, a problem in one area will usually correlate to problems in others. A combination of the factors above can be the catalyst for a full blown case of diabetes (or a lot of other diseases).
While researchers often look at a single variable when trying to discover a cure for a disease, often the best approach is one that addresses the body as a whole.
As with all diseases, the best cure is good prevention, but certain measures can help reverse disease once it has occurred. Click http://www.healthproduct.
Unfortunately, most people are not given the benefit of this approach. When diagnosed with diabetes, most people are told to avoid sugar (good step, not the solution). If the problem is bad enough, they are told to take medication to give the body insulin.
Insulin is also dangerous if it is left circulating the the blood. Somehow, treating too much circulating glucose and insulin with more insulin doesn't seem like the right approach…
It isn't just keeping blood sugar levels down through insulin control that helps diabetes, but fixing the actual problem causing the diabetes.
Addressing just one aspect of the problem (blood sugar or insulin) ignores all the other factors like poor diet, toxins, stress, gut problems, immune issues etc.
Instead, this single focuses approach can contribute to the problem, making insulin resistance worse and eventually leading to insulin dependent diabetes when the pancreas shuts down completely. Click - http://www.healthproduct.com.ng

We lost power from noon monday when a neighbors tree fell on the power lines. Ripped my service off the house. Luckily I am an electrician and I installed it in the first place so the repair was about $20 worth of material and my labor. The next day the LIPA tree cutters came by and removed the tree and that night they restored power. We were very lucky this time. We also have gas hot water and stove so we do not lose our cooktop or hot water and with a 3000w generator we never lost food and essential lighting. Now gas is starting to flow at the gas pumps so life is almost back to normal for many. Some places like Long Beach, Freeport, The Rockaways and especially Staten Island were hit so hard my heart goes out to them. It will be a long time for them to recover. I was at a friends house in Freeport helping him with getting his power restored and everybody was putting their furniture and destroyed possessions out to the curb for garbage pick up. It was very sad.

REUTERS SUMMIT-Prudential's Peters says U.S. bond selloff overdone
(For other news from the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit, click here) (Adds comments and background throughout, bylines)
By Jonathan Stempel and Jennifer Ablan
NEW YORK Nov 15 (Reuters) - Gregory Peters, senior investment officer at Prudential Fixed Income, on Tuesday said the steep selloff in U.S. bonds following last week's surprise election of Donald Trump to the White House and the Republican sweep of Congress was overdone.
"We're telling our clients and investors, let's take a deep breath," Peters, who helps oversee $681 billion of assets, said at the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit. "It was a snap reaction, and I don't necessarily believe it was a game changer."
Peters had correctly predicted in June, shortly before British voters decided to leave the European Union, that "Brexit" would be a buying opportunity for U.S. securities despite the initial knee-jerk selloff in stocks.
On Tuesday, he said the rally in U.S. stocks and plunge in U.S. bonds after the Nov. 8 U.S. election was more a reaction to the Republican Party's sweep of the White House and Congress than Trump's victory alone.
Peters said the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was now probably near the high end of the 1.80 percent to 2.30 percent trading range he expects in the near term.
The note yielded about 2.24 percent on Tuesday morning.
Peters said the economic stimulus that may result from Trump's policies could extend the current credit cycle by one year, making it a good time to buy high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds, especially in cyclical companies. Continuación...

GossipCenter's Weekly Wrap Up: March 10-16
As winter slowly turns into spring for most of the country, celebrities head out and about. Here is what caught our eye this week at GossipCenter.
GossipCenter Joins No Kids Movement: Joining in on the movement to protect the privacy of children of celebrities, GossipCenter network announced we will no longer publish images of children without parental consent. The No Kids movement was started by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard after Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry testified before the California State Assembly Judiciary Committee on Public Safety to enforce stricter paparazzi laws for the protection of public figures' children.
Chris Brown Heads to Jail: He can't seem to stay out of trouble for long, and now Chris Brown is back in jail. The "Don't Wake Me Up" singer was reportedly kicked out of rehab for having an "inappropriate relationship" with a female worker. In an agreement with the judge who is presiding in his case, Brown had to go to jail if he left his rehab stint early.
Lady Gaga Raises Eyebrows at SXSW Performance: She is known for her fantastic performances, and Lady Gaga didn't disappoint at the annual SXSW Festival. The "Poker Face" songstress treated fans to an energetic show, complete with being "puked on." Later, Gaga admitted that she may have went too far saying, "It was just exciting to see people talk about performance art on the internet. We really just did it because we believe in the performance and we believe in what it meant to the song."
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Switch Wedding Venues: Deciding to keep things simple for their big day, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have scrapped plans to hold their wedding in Italy. The duo felt it was too much to ask family and friends to travel overseas for a ceremony and are now looking into locations closer to home.
Angelina Jolie to Undergo More Surgery: Taking more steps to avoid developing cancer, Angelina Jolie will once again go under the knife. The 38-year-old "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" starlet told Entertainment Weekly that she'll visit her doctor soon to take care of the final step. Angie explained, "There's still another surgery to have, which I haven't yet. I'll, you know, I'll get advice from all these wonderful people who've I've been talking to, to get through the next stage."

i came across this video posted on poach and though we don't like to post youtube videos, this one seems very interesting, especially for expats.
this kuwaiti young man went in disguise as an asian expat to test kuwaitis' reactions towards asian expats - in the first part of this video, he asks kuwaitis if he can use their mobile phone, and most of them declined - however, in the second part of the video, he asks them to help him use the atm machine or install a sim card in his mobile phone - it's amazing how this simple twist of request changed their reactions as most of them did actually offer help!
so lending something and offering help are two different concepts that lead to opposite feedback! never knew that!
interesting insights & very clever video.

These words embody Isabel Mondavi's joie de vivre - and the panache she used to fashion her own brand - I'M Wines.
Named for her initials, I'M Wines was created after Isabel asked her son Rob, a winemaker, to make a Rosé from the family's Cabernet Sauvignon to serve at her weekly luncheon for a group of friends. Isabel expected 20 cases; Rob gave her 300, presenting both a problem and a solution. Though the lunch gathering could not hope to drink the entire production, the wine was impressive enough to make a name for itself on the market. Thus, the label was born. In addition to I'M Rosé, it includes I'M Chardonnay, with a Pinot Noir in the works.
Armed with nearly 40 years of experience as a close witness and advisor to the wine business, Isabel refused to be encumbered by industry standards when creating her label. Her Napa Valley Cabernet is pink, not the traditional deep red. She didn't stop there. Since she is a fan of Sonoma County Chardonnay, Rob has made her one in the style she loves best.
Every aspect of the brand is family based. Dina, Isabel's daughter, worked with her mother and a designer to create the label and the aesthetics of the bottle. The unusual use of a Bordeaux shape for the Chardonnay bottle was chosen by Dina because Isabel finds it easier to pour. View all I'M Wines
About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

I genuinely enjoy the company of men - especially the charge that comes with mutual attraction and spirited banter. I am seeking a best friend who shares my penchant for adventure and curiosity about the world. He would be a man of intelligence but not above just plain silliness. In fact, goofy is good. He is playful, fit, health conscious, well read, introspective, self-assured and has met with enough bumps in the road to know humility.
All time movie favorite: "The Wizard of Oz". Most recently enjoyed "Boyhood". Very touching.
Music: Primarily Alternative, Country & Folk, Indie Rock, Classic Rock.
Food: Love anything spicy, roasted or grilled.
1. A good, rich mug of coffee in the morning
2. Exercise that makes me sweat
3. Peanut butter
4. The mountains
5. Adventure/travel
6. Music

Erika Lauren, a Chicago native, graduated from Columbia College with a degree in Music Business. After graduating, Erika nabbed a spot on MTV's long standing reality show The Real World in Washington, DC. She asks you kindly to not hold that against her, or the fact that she got this job via Twitter message. Erika can verify that, in fact, it does go down in the DM's.
Erika joined The Alan Cox Show in 2010 and has put her foot in her mouth ever since. When she's not unwittingly making suggestive remarks that are later used against her, she enjoys playing shows with her cover band Pop Vulture, out with squad (#goals), and attending local concerts and sporting events.
Erika loves Ohio and feels like Cleveland's adopted child. Erika is the self-proclaimed ambassador of the East Bank of the Flats, so you know where to find her on a Saturday night. Well, either there or at home with her husband and two cats because she's basic like that.

South Shetland Islands (Antarctica)
Northwest Latitude: 61.9836 S
Northwest Longitude: 62.75 W
Southeast Latitude: 63.667 S
Southeast Longitude: 57.667 W
Inventory of rock glaciers: 1994-1997
In the South Shetland Islands we have found eight active rock glaciers, no relict or fossil examples, and seven protalus ramparts. The rock glaciers are located on peninsulas and capes of the two main islands of the archipelago: King George and Livingston. The South Shetland Islands have a cold oceanic climate, characteristic of the maritime Antarctica, with frequent summer rains and moderate thermal amplitude, and a cold and humid morphoclimatic system, of crionival character. These climatic parameters facilitate the operation of periglacial processes, and the presence of a usually saturated active layer in summer. In the South Shetland Islands the presence of rock glaciers have been identified on Livingston Island (Martinez de Pison et al., 1991; Lopez-Martinez et al., 1992a, 1992b), on Admiralty Bay, in King George Island (Birkenmajer, 1981; Barsch et al., 1985) and in Fildes Peninsula (Barsch et al. 1985; Barsch, 1996; Cheng et al., 1996). Four further active rock glaciers have been identified during the present study in King George and Livingston Island (Serrano and Lopez-Martinez, in prep.). The rock glaciers are located in marginal zones, between 300 m a.s.l. and sea level, which has been recently deglaciated, and principally under 70 m a.s.l, near 100 m under the Median Equilibrium Line Altitude (M.E.L.A.). There are indications of a recent diminution of activity, with blurred fronts, mass movements in fronts and sides, lichen colonization and glaciokarstic processes. All of these indicate an inherited dynamic of past conditions in lower altitudes.
References to rock glaciers are scarce in Antarctica, limited to a few examples in the Transantarctic Mountains, Victoria Land, South Georgia, James Ross Island and South Shetland Islands. The spatial pattern of rock glaciers indicates that they are more represented in the periphery of Antarctica than in the interior of the continent, and are particularly numerous in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Café Madeline Opens in Ditmas Park; Columbine Will Close in Tribeca
Plus: Halloween festivals abound, and a taste of Sunnyside, in our roundup of neighborhood news.
Plus: Halloween festivals abound, and a taste of Sunnyside, in our roundup of neighborhood news.
Marty Markowitz calls Cortelyou Road "the new Smith Street."By Aileen Gallagher
Ditmas Park is taking another step toward being the next big Brooklyn neighborhood with an addition to its scant restaurant scene. There now is the Farm on Adderley, Picket Fence, and a guy that cooks ribs on the street outside of left-wing cafe Vox Pop. But help is on the way, reports the Ditmas Park Blog. Gary Jonas and Allison McDowell, the owners of the Farm on Adderley, are planning on opening a small bistro on Newkirk Avenue, currently best known for its laundromats and ill-stocked Indian groceries. The two will be operating partners with Pacifico and Patois owner Jimmy Mamary. We asked McDowell about it, and she explained the plan: "It's going to be tiny. We're not doing a big, family-friendly neighborhood restaurant there. It'll be more grown-up, European, but there won't be a liquor license, just beer and wine. We'd like Tom Kearney, our chef at Adderley, to do the menu, but that's still up in the air." So, apparently, is the name: We're suggesting the Barn, but only because Lentils & More is worse. Newkirk Bistro Aims for Xmas Opening [Ditmas Park Blog] Related: Best French Fries: The Farm on Adderley [NYM]
The era of Ditmas Park boasting two good New American restaurants may be coming to a close. According to a Craigslist ad posted today, picket fence, the neighborhood's pioneering New American restaurant, is for sale. (The other favorite is the Farm on Adderley.) It was with great sadness that we read the following line: "Visit picketfencebrooklyn.com and see for yourself what a great opportunity this is." (We're easily moved.) The restaurant helped spark the Ditmas Park revival; we're sorry to see it go, but curious as to what will come in its place. Cozy Restaurant for Sale [Craigslist]
