I own the intellectual copyright for the written tutorial. What you make is yours, but please do not take my tutorial. Share only my link.
This tutorial is intended for beginners to learn how to use the pen tools and edit vectors. If you have any questions, please feel free to Email me.
To do this tutorial you will also need Paint Shop Pro. I wrote this with Paint Shop Pro X2, but the steps may also be done in any version. You may download a free trial at Corel.
Remember to save as a psp file often!
1. Open a new, transparent image, size 400 x 600 pixels.
2. Choose the pen tool. Set the foreground to NULL, and background to your main tree color.
3. Set the pen tool to segment, show nodes, connect
4. Draw a triangle. Place the three corner nodes -- 1, 2, 3. Then place a 4th node, close to the first one. Click on this node, and DRAG it on top of the first one until you see the word JOIN. When the word JOIN is showing, release the node -- and the 4th node and 1st node will join together making a triangle.
5. Right-click on the top node
6. Choose Node Type > Symmetric The top of the triangle will now curve. That's ok, we'll fix it.
7. Right-click on the same top node and choose Node type > Cusp
8. There are now 2 handles on the top node. Grab the end of EACH handle and drag them down and in, like in the picture. This will put a point back on top of the triangle, and curve in the left and right side of the triangle.
9. Right-click on the bottom right node. Choose Node Type > Curve After
10. you will see one handle on the node (on the bottom of the triangle). Grab the end of that handle and drag it downward. This will make the bottom of the triangle curve downward.
11. Hold the CTRL button down, and hover the mouse over the bottom center of the triangle. When you see the word +ADD, left-click. This will add a node to the center of the triangle. It's ok if it's not in the dead center. Nodes can move!
12. Right-click on this new node and choose Node Type > Cusp
13. Left-click on the node, and drag it up a little bit. Drag both handles downward and out or in some so that both sides of the bottom curve.
14. In the Layer Palette, right-click on the vector layer and choose Convert to Raster Layer.
15. Choose the magic wand tool. Click inside the green and select the triangle.
16. Selections > Float
17. Effects > 3D Effects > Cutout. Horizontal & Vertical = 0, Opacity = 35%, blur = 15 -20.
18. Choose the airbrush tool.
19. Set the size = 32, hardness = 50, step = 10, density = 10, thickness = 100, rotation = 0, opacity = 40, blend mode = normal, rate = 5. Set foreground color = white or bluish white.
20. While the triangle is still selected, spray the bottom edge with white.
21. Effects > 3D Effects > Inner Bevel. Set: pie bevel, width = 25, smoothness = 25, depth = 5, ambience = 0, shininess = 50, color = white, angle = 315, intensity = 49, elevation = 27.
22. Selections > Defloat.
23. Right-click on layer in Layer Palette, and choose Duplicate.
24. Image > Resize. Resize to 75%. UNCheck Resize all layers.
25. Repeat Steps 23 & 24 to make a 3rd and/or 4th layer.
26. With the mover tool, move the pieces into position to make them look like a tree.
27. Layers > Merge > Merge Visible.
28. Now your tree is ready to decorate. But before you do, save it as a tube for later use. File > Save As (Choose PNG)
29. After your tree is decorated, save it as a GIF. File > Export > GIF Optimizer.

Those searching for a Trapcall trial run can stop searching! What you're looking for is at www.trapcall.com, where you will find 3 packages just waiting for you. You can choose from either the Bug Trap, Mouse Trap or the Bear Trap package.
A review on CNET I saw once made me wonder just what this company was all about. I've found myself with many an undesired sale call from those terrible telemarketers. How they got my number is beyond me.
And they always call right when I'm sitting down to a nice family dinner. And I can't even tell who it is that's calling me! They're sneaky ones.
I picked up, wondering if it's a call from a friend or a business associate and, lo and behold, it's some salesman looking to make a pitch. I'm at the end of my rope here. So now I'm wondering just what the deal is with that Trapcall.
Will it really show me who's actually calling or are they trying to pull a fast one on me? I thought I'd better go and check out their services.
Trapcall Trial – Unmasking Blocked Number On Your Mobile Phone
So just how does this Trapcall work? I'm no mindless consumer, so I did some snooping on Google looking for reviews and consumer feedback.
Here's the basic low-down: Trapcall made a deal with many notable mobile carriers (including Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Virgin Mobile, Sprint, T-mobile and more) which gave them the ability to unmask the unknown callers.
Any time you get a call from some anonymous person on your cell phone, you don't have to pick up and listen to some telemarketer talking your ear off. You can just redirect the call to your Trapcall account number and they will tell you the identity and phone number of the person who's calling you.
You'll soon learn just who's a telemarketer and who's not and can simply end the call then and there without answering. There's nothing to it. No more having to negotiate yourself out of a call with a pushy salesman, no more worrying that you might be seen as rude for just hanging up.
And, because Trapcall has that special deal with the mobile carriers themselves, you can blacklist the number. If somebody else is trying to call you, an ex or your old boss or that old mother-in-law looking for something to complain about, you can blacklist them too! TrapCall will block their call from ever reaching you.
A voicemail with a message to stop calling you is all they'll ever hear from you again. Unless they try switching numbers, but you can just blacklist them all over again. There's no more bothering you.
Their service can do even more than just blacklisting and unmasking numbers. It can transcribe your voicemails or record all calls through an online account. For lawyers and businessmen, this is an indispensable feature.
Trapcall Online Packages
Unavoidably, better service comes at a higher cost. For just the caller ID unmasking and blacklisting call features, you can get highly affordable Bug Trap package at only $4.95 a month. This is a good package to begin your Trapcall trial run.
For other features like voicemail transcription, name and address caller ID and missed call alerts, you can get the popular Mouse Trap package at $9.95 per month.
For all the features you could ever want, you'll want to go with the Bear Trap plan, which is well worth its price tag of $24.95. Payments can be made with American Express, Visa, Discover and Mastercard.
Account Signup
Once your payment has been made, you'll get directed to your personal account you'll create with Trapcall. Then, just follow the simple instructions to set up your iPhone, Android, Blackberry or other mobile phone to sync with their server.
To finally see who's trying to call you on your cell phone, just head on over to www.trapcall.com and get yourself a trap plan. The cost is nothing compared to the relief you'll feel.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
University of Wyoming head women's golf coach Josey Stender announced the signing of Amanda Hinchey of Casper, Wyo., on Wednesday. Hinchey will be the third addition to the Cowgirls program for the 2014-15 season.
"The players we have signed are arguably some of the top players in their respective states, if not the West region," Stender said. "Their national playing experience and competitive passion for the game will be a terrific addition to the solid foundation for next year."
Amanda Hinchey, Casper, Wyo., Kelly Walsh High School
Hinchey joins the Cowgirls as a six-time letterwinner at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper, Wyo. She had an outstanding prep career under head coach Craig Marsh. Hinchey won the Wyoming state individual championship in 2012. She was also a two-time All-State selection and an All-Conference honoree three times. She was the conference individual championship this past fall and led her team to back-to-back conference team titles in 2012 and 2013.
She also excels in the classroom as a member of National Honor Society. Hinchey earned the Scholastic Achievement Award three times. At Kelly Walsh High School she was a member of the Student Council.
Her brother Austin Hinchey just finished his freshman season as a golfer at Texas Pan-American.
"She is a great young lady who comes from a fantastic family with deep tradition in the University and the state," Stender said. "Amanda has excelled in the classroom, the golf course and been a tremendous leader among the Wyoming junior golf community, which will help her with the transition to the collegiate game."
Hinchey joins Klara Castillo of Albuquerque, N.M., and Sarah Hankins of Thornton, Colo., as new additions to the Cowgirls in 2014-15.

Modifications to a Cleared Device - FDA's 510(k) Guidance
Product ID: 702595
Training Level: Intermediate to Advanced
- Duration: 90 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
This 90-minute webinar will explain FDA's 1997 guidance on 510(K) for device modifications and show how to integrate the evaluation into your design change program. The webinar uses numerous Warning Letters to illustrate the points, and helps you learn from others.
In January 1977, the FDA issued a guidance document to help device manufacturers understand when changes require a new 510(k). In 2011, FDA issued a draft guidance, that included a number of new proposals, with the intention of replacing the 1997 version. But, a new law, signed by the President on July 9, 2012, instructs the FDA to take a new direction and leaves the 1997 guidance in place.
Now is the time to review the 1997 guidance and make sure that your quality management system implements it. This webinar will help you identify the kinds of changes to consider, understand the regulation, and apply the guidance document.
The most important aspect of the webinar, however, is the approach to integrate the change control program across all the regulatory requirements. For example, do your complaint investigations lead to corrective actions, updates to your risk management file, product changes, and evaluation for 510(k) change? In the webinar, you learn how to make these links. You will also learn how to evaluate changes using the methods in the guidance, make the decision, and create adequate records.
At the end of the webinar, you will be able to implement a robust system that incorporates all the elements of product change control.
Why Should You Attend:
Your Quality Management System (QMS) should be able to address these questions quickly and easily. If not, then your team needs to attend this webinar!
- Your supplier made a change in an important part you purchase from them. Can your QMS link purchasing control to design changes to significant change evaluation?
- You decide to purchase an important part from a new supplier. Do you know the role that purchasing data plays in the 510(k) evaluation process?
- Your complaint analysis provides new information to update your ISO 14971:2007 risk management file. You realize that risk reduction requires a new contraindication. Can you change the labeling? Do you need a new 510(k)? Do you have to stop shipping the device until you receive a new clearance?
- Your complaint analysis suggests that you should change the expiration date on your device. Will you need a new 510(k) because of a shorter period?
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- The status of the 510(k) guidance
- What the new law requires
- When FDA might be allowed to propose new guidance
- When FDA might be allowed to implement new guidance
- When FDA is allowed to change the regulation on 510(k) change submission
- A description of guidance document
- Understand the flow charts and their structure
- Evaluation of the questions and why they are important
- Making the guidance into a record
- Understanding design change
- Why FDA considers a design change and a production/process change are the same
- Documenting the 510(k) evaluation in the design history file (DHF)
- Identify sources and flows of potential design changes
- Implementation Recommendations
- Integrating requirements
- Updating procedures, work instructions, etc.
- Warning Letters – Learning from others
Who will Benefit:
This webinar is for people involved in product change from recognition of a potential change to implementing the change to notifying FDA when required.
People in the following roles can especially benefit from the knowledge in this webinar:
- Quality Managers
- Quality Professionals
- Production Managers
- Production Supervisors
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Production Engineers
- Design Engineers
- Risk Managers
- CA & PA Analyst
- Complaint Analysts
- Marketing
- Senior Management
- Suppliers to Medical Device Companies

Topic Background:
When you make a change to a cleared device, some regulations come into play. They include all the elements of design change control, 820.30(i), including verification, validation, review, risk management, and the design history file. Because the evaluation of a significant change or modification in design, components, method of manufacture, or intended use is in Part 807, many companies miss it as part of design change.
Section 807.81 contains the requirements and the guidance document tells the manufacturer how to implement it. The guidance has flow charts that lead you through the analysis process by using decision points based on questions in the guidance. Generally, the flow chants will lead you to one of two decisions: document the analysis or file a new 510(k).
The specifications, performance, size, or composition of the device to an extent greater than the specified limits
- Do you know the plan for the FDA's guidance document on 510(k) changes?
- Do you know how to evaluate changes to a cleared device to determine if you need a new 510(k)?
- Have you integrated this analysis into your design change and production and process change procedures?
- Do you know what records to maintain?

We had some surprisingly good economic news this week. I'm not saying that the economy is doing well, but it may be the case that things aren't as dire as they seem. The trade deficit report for June, for example, came in narrower than expected. The deficit for May was also revised favorably.
The trade suggests that the government's initial estimate for Q2 GDP of 1.5% is too low and is perhaps closer to 2%. This is good news because it indicates that weakness in Europe and the strong dollar aren't hurting us as much as was feared.
The other good news was that jobless claims fell by 6,000. This is a very volatile metric with a lot of noise, but the trend is still going in the right direction. What we're seeing is that companies are working hard to become more efficient.
On Wednesday, the productivity report showed that worker productivity rose by 1.6% in the second quarter after falling by 0.5% in the first quarter. The short-term downside of rising productivity is that it may lead firms to be cautious about expanding their payrolls.
I was also impressed to see that the median price for a new home in the second quarter was up 7.3% from the same period a year ago. That's the strongest growth rate in six years. The housing news is especially promising because a pick-up in the housing sector has often been the catalyst for U.S. economic expansions.
This time around, we had an enormous over-supply of homes so prices went nowhere. At last, we've finally worked off that inventory.

This collection of inspiring poetry has been lovingly compiled from various public domain sources and represents those poems I have found to be the most uplifting and inspirational.
These poems are all personal favourites with the exception of the Ode to Googlebot, which is my own poem; and is really a bit of a joke.
If you feel you are in need of inspiration, then take your time and let these words really sink-in.
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat these two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And – which is more – you'll be a Man, my son!
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
It Couldn't be Done
Edgar Guest
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it
A Smile
Author Unknown
A smile costs nothing, but gives much-
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forever.
None are so rich that can get along without it-
And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it.
It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give-
It creates sunshine in the home,
Fosters good will in business,
And is the best antidote for trouble-
And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value
Unless it is given away.
Some people are too busy to give you a smile-
Give them one of yours-
For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly
As he or she who has no more smiles left to give.

In Whom Men Condemn If I Knew You Ode to Googlebot More Poems
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
Men Whom Men Condemn as Ill
Joaquin Miller
In men whom men condemn as ill
I find so much of goodness still,
In men whom men pronounce divine
I find so much of sin and blot,
I do not dare to draw a line
Between the two, where God has not.
If I Knew You & You Knew Me
Nixon Waterman
If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me.
Ode to Googlebot

Oh Googlebot though art quick !
The invisible spider
that crawls in the night,
through the howling scorn,
Hath (finally) found my bed
of blue and orange joy.
And his dark secrets found
doth now life bestow.

Cooking Channel: Nadia, you looked amazing in the Bitchin' Christmas music video we saw last month. Around this time of year, people are looking for ways to drop a few pounds. What was your secret to fitting into that shiny, red spandex body suit?
Nadia G: Tsaketa! We had a lot of fun on that one, and I was definitely watching what I shkoffed leading up to the shoot. But I never skip meals. As the old Italian saying goes: "A shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and your thighs still shake for dinner." Skipping meals makes your body think it's starving, so it holds on to fat for dear life, literally. Always eat three to five logically portioned meals a day to keep your metabolism up.

Fiji survived a last-gasp conversion attempt as they sneaked a narrow victory against the USA.
US fly-half Mike Hercus' attempt to add the extras to Kort Schubert's try drifted agonisingly wide with the last kick of the match.
The Pacific islanders went into the game as strong favourites against the US, but it was the Americans who nearly took the glory.
They out-scored the famously free-running Fijians by two tries to one, and it took an accurate kicking display from fly-half Nicky Little to clinch victory for the Pacific Islanders.
The US took the lead through a sixth-minute penalty from Hercus and although Fiji enjoyed two-thirds of the possession early on the Pacific Islanders struggled to impose themselves.
A series of handling errors disrupted their flow and they fell 6-0 behind when Hercus slotted his second penalty after 22 minutes.
The Fijians had shown glimpses of their potential, with left wing Vilimoni Delasau prominent, but sloppy passing and poor ball retention prevented them from building any momentum.
The Pacific side finally got on the board through a Little penalty after 33 minutes but things did not improve for the Fijians after the break.
As soon as the whistle went they started to turn over possession and found themselves trailing 13-3 when Riaan van Zyl touched down after a fine kick from Hercus, who added the conversion.
Fiji cut the deficit through a Little penalty five minutes later before finally exploding into life for a dazzling try.
Delasau's pass to Marika Vunibaka might have been forward but there was nothing wrong with the rest of the move, which was finished off under the posts by Apensia Naevo.
Little's conversion levelled matters at 13-13 with 25 minutes to go and the Saracens fly-half then edged them into a six-point lead with two penalties.
With time running out it looked as though Fiji were safe, but the US put together a series of phases which ended with Schubert crossing in the corner.
It left Hercus with a conversion attempt from the touchline to win the game, but the ball drifted wide of the posts to hand Fiji a dramatic victory.
Fiji: A Uluinayau; M Vunibaka, A Tuilevu, S Rabeni, V Delasau; N Little, M Rauluni; N Seru, G Smith, J Veitayaki; I Rawaqa, A Naevo; A Mocelutu, K Sewabu, A Doviverata (capt).

Jennifer Love Hewitt Biography: Hot and stunning woman Jennifer Love Hewitt is known for her film roles and television shows where she appeared. The actress was born on February 21, 1979 in Waco, Texas, US. Interestingly but her first name she got from her brother. Her mother Pat decided to give her romantic middle name - Love. Jennifer's father was a medical technician while her mum had an occupation of a speech pathologist. For some time the family where Jennifer was brought up was good and healthy. But years passed and the parents divorced as many American spouses do until now. Jennifer's official debut happened when she was just 3. The little girl sang at a livestock show. At age of 7 she was singing in jazz band and took ballet lessons. Then she joined the Texas Show Team. These were her first steps to future glory. This Team toured the former Soviet Union and Europe. At age of 9 Jennifer with her family moved to Los-Angeles. Meanwhile her older brother Todd stayed in Texas to finish High School. Jennifer didn't waste time and soon found commercial work. In 1984 she got a role in Disney's movie. That period of her life was hard-working and challenging; the young actress did her best to be noticed by directors and once it worked. She played in TV series and got roles in big screen movies among which you can find 'Ghost Whisperer', 'Delgo', 'American Dreams' and others.

Health Care Reform Must Not Follow Stimulus Path
After Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that he would include a public option in the Senate health care bill, it didn't take Sen. Joe Lieberman long to threaten to block the bill altogether.
In stating his opposition to a public health insurance option, Lieberman sounded familiar notes from reform's opponents, calling it a "government entitlement program" that will cost the government more money. Neither assertion is true. The public health insurance plan would be paid into, not subsidized, and as the Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly stated, the plan would reduce both premiums and government costs.
Not only are these assertions false, they represent a major change in Sen. Lieberman's own position on health care. During his reelection campaign in 2006, he highlighted his positions on health care, which included something similar to the public option.
What Lieberman's objections may well signal now, however, is a potential threat to health care reform with a public option from a gang of Senate "centrists" despite overwhelming support for the public option in recent polls. And that is likely what Majority Leader Reid had in mind yesterday when he said "Joe Lieberman is the least of Harry Reid's problems."
Today's Washington Post reports that the usual suspects of "centrists" in the Senate are "unsure about Reid's public option".
The New York Times reported:
Among the Senate Democrats who have not committed to supporting the bill are Evan Bayh of Indiana, Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both of Arkansas, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
Including Lieberman, this new "Gang of Six" has the potential to significantly damage health care reform in insidious ways. For example, on the public insurance option, they could withhold support for a cloture vote on the entire bill unless it was further compromised into either an "opt-in" plan, separate state-based plans, or a bogus down-the-road-but-never-happening "trigger" plan.
But the Senate's public insurance plan with the "opt-out" provision for states, agreed to by Reid, Dodd, Baucus and the White House, is already a compromise. In fact, it's a compromise of a compromise of a compromise of a compromise of a compromise!
Enough! There can be no more compromises on the public insurance option.
But even if they lose on that key component of reform, the "centrist" gang could — if allowed — still severely undermine other features of the bill. Under the rubric of "deficit reduction" they could try to reduce the number of people helped through subsidies for insurance and reduce those actual subsidies as well. They could push to reduce employer payments for those not covered, putting more of the burden on the middle-class and working families. And they could try to build in additional safeguards to protect the markets and profits of the private insurers — all under the assertion of "reducing costs".
The lesson for the Democratic leadership and the White House shouldn't be too tough to have learned. One simply needs to recall the progression of events back in February as the final versions of the stimulus bill were taking shape. In a nutshell, a relatively small group of Senate "centrists" — then led by Senators Lieberman, Ben Nelson (D-NE), Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Susan Collins (R-ME) — succeeded in cutting roughly $100 billion in actual economic stimulative funding from the bill, substituting a non-stimulative tax reduction for wealthier Americans, thereby significantly hampering the plan's ability to generate a real recovery.
And all under the rubric of getting to 60 votes, meaning their votes.
Here's how that brouhaha went down.
On February 5 The New York Times reported "There's a new gang in town" and they were intent on impacting the pending Recovery Act.
The group was frustrating the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, who was trying to bring the debate over President Obama's economic program and top legislative priority to a close.
"I have explained to people within that group, they cannot hold the president of the United States hostage," said Mr. Reid, who added that he was willing to work with them if they intended to be constructive rather than obstructive.
Stimulus Talks Set to Continue After Centrists Push Cuts The Times then reported:
By early evening, aides said the group had drafted a list of nearly $90 billion in cuts, including $40 billion in aid for states, more than $14 billion for various education programs, $4.1 billion to make federal buildings energy efficient and $1.5 billion for broadband Internet service in rural areas. But they remained short of a deal, and talks were expected to resume Friday morning.
The next day's report was Senators Reach Deal on Stimulus Plan as Jobs Vanish:
The fine print was not immediately available, and the numbers were shifting. But in essence, the Democratic leadership and two centrist Republicans announced they had struck a deal on about $110 billion in cuts to the roughly $900 billion legislation — a deal expected to provide at least the 60 votes needed to send the bill out of the Senate and into negotiations with the House, which has passed its own version.
On February 7 columnist Paul Krugman warned in "What the centrists have wrought":
Now the centrists have shaved off $86 billion in spending — much of it among the most effective and most needed parts of the plan. In particular, aid to state governments, which are in desperate straits, is both fast — because it prevents spending cuts rather than having to start up new projects — and effective, because it would in fact be spent; plus state and local governments are cutting back on essentials, so the social value of this spending would be high. But in the name of mighty centrism, $40 billion of that aid has been cut out.
My first cut says that the changes to the Senate bill will ensure that we have at least 600,000 fewer Americans employed over the next two years.
But that wasn't the end of it, as the competing House and Senate versions of the stimulus still had to be merged into a single bill.
But the competing bills now reflect substantially different approaches. The House puts greater emphasis on helping states and localities avoid wide-scale cuts in services and layoffs of public employees. The Senate cut $40 billion of that aid from its bill, which is expected to be approved Tuesday.
The Senate plan, reached in an agreement late Friday between Democrats and three moderate Republicans, focuses somewhat more heavily on tax cuts, provides far less generous health care subsidies for the unemployed and lowers a proposed increase in food stamps.
When it was clear that the Senate, with their 60 vote fetish, would likely win out, Paul Krugman wrote of "The Destructive Center":
What do you call someone who eliminates hundreds of thousands of American jobs, deprives millions of adequate health care and nutrition, undermines schools, but offers a $15,000 bonus to affluent people who flip their houses?
A proud centrist. For that is what the senators who ended up calling the tune on the stimulus bill just accomplished.
On February 11 The New York Times reported the House-Senate "deal":
The package of spending increases and tax relief, intended to spur an economic recovery and create jobs by putting money back in the pockets of consumers and companies, ended up smaller than either the House or Senate had proposed.
Even before final Congressional passage it had become clear that the stimulus package had been severely impacted by the Senate centrists, as The Times reported in "Details of a Trimmer Stimulus Emerge" on February 12:
Even before the last touches were put to the bill, some angry Democrats said that Mr. Obama and Congressional leaders had been too quick to give up on Democratic priorities. "I am not happy with it," said Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa. "You are not looking at a happy camper. I mean they took a lot of stuff out of education. They took it out of health, school construction and they put it more into tax issues."
Mr. Harkin said he was particularly frustrated by the money being spent on fixing the alternative minimum tax. "It's about 9 percent of the whole bill," he said, "Why is it in there? It has nothing to do with stimulus. It has nothing to do with recovery."
But even as Congressional leaders and top White House officials went through the package with a carving knife, it was clear that the three Republicans who agreed to support the bill in the Senate wielded extraordinary power, and along with conservative Democrats, had put a firm stamp on the stimulus package.
The lessons from the stimulus legislative process are clear. The question now, in the context of the current battle for health care reform and the public option, is whether the Democratic leadership and the White House have learned those lessons. Or will they allow the perverse conceit of the centrists to win out over the interests of the American people?

Users Group: Board of Directors Minutes
Minutes of the meeting on March 3, 2000
Attendance: G. Adams, W. Boeglin, D. Day,G. Dodge, C. Glashausser, K. Hokansson, R. Miskimen, R. Roche (observer)
The UGBoD meeting started at 8:30 AM.
Hermann Grunder presented an overview of lab operations. Polarized electrons are a success, and the lab is getting ready for G0. CLAS has increased its DAQ rate by 2. Hall C has completed 5 experiments in '99 and is getting ready for G0. The long range planning process will begin in Sept. 2000, with an interim report out in April 2001. This will influence the FY 2003 budget. It's important for the lab to get it's act together this summer. There will be a town meeting in January, and the rest of the spring will be used for the preparation of the long range plan.
Nuclear physics needs an infusion of money. RHIC and JLab operating funds are too low. If the money had been there all along, JLab would be getting its new construction project much sooner.
Almost surely, JLab will be asked to take responsibility for the superconducting linac for the spallation neutron source. Around 50 new people, mostly technical in the accelerator division, are to be hired for this project. This hiring has already begun. JLab will be involved in design, prototyping, and commissioning. The project is expected to have some impact on the availability of technical people for the next few months, but little negative impact in the longer term or on the 12 GeV upgrade. We will benefit in several ways.
Because of security concerns, badging has become an issue. The lab is looking at options that range from:
- Having a badge
- Wearing the badge
- 2.1 on the accelerator site
- 2.2 on campus
- DOE badges
- Non-citizens wear separate badges
The lab is willing to take a stand against anything beyond 2.1.
Larry Cardman will be notified when users from sensitive countries come to the lab. Their exposure to dual use technology will be limited.
Rolf Ent gave a summary of the planning process for the 12 GeV upgrade. There is a web page that shows the mini-workshops planned from now to the June 2000 users meeting. He expects about 14 physics presentations and 4 equipment proposals to be presented at the users meeting. He estimates that only 5-8 proposals can go forward to the PAC. His criteria: better to do a few things well, must be compelling to a large audience, utilize 12 GeV and high luminosity.
Gary Adams gave a report on the valence quark structure group (high x group). There's a workshop at Temple March 30 to April 1. The experiments are spin independent structure function, spin dependent sptructure functions, parity , semi-inclusive reactions, higher twist.
Nathan Isgur suggested that proposals coming out of the working groups to be presented at the June Users meeting have two possible paths to follow:
- They represent important physics which will be used to sharpen the scientific case for 12 GeV and included in the white paper.
- They are flagship experiments defining the key physics for the 12 GeV upgrade. They will be highlighted in the white paper and presented to the July PAC.
Donal Day gave a report on the threshold charm group. About 25 people participated, and there were 4 talks. Eugene Chudakov has a web page for the group. They're looking at the MRS and HMS for this experiment. A workshop is planned for April.
Gail Dodge reported on the exclusive reactions group. There's a workshop April 13-15. The group is planning experiments on the pion form factor, Primakoff measurements of eta and eta' radiative widths, skewed parton distrubutions and VCS.
Werner Boeglin reported on the hadrons in nuclear medium group. About 14 people will participate in a workshop in early March at FSU. Another workshop is planned for the spring. They are currently planning two experiments on S.R.C., and 2 experiments on color transparency.
Rory Miskimen reported on the duality working group. A planning workshop will be held April 17,18. There is a core group of approximately a dozen people working on this area. They expect two broad programs to emerge:
- structure function measurements to test duality,
- semi-inclusive physics that will test duality plus factorization and flavor decomposition.
Charlie Glashausser led a discussion of the proposal selection process at the June users meeting, to pick propsals for PAC presentation in July. It was decided that a steering commitee for the JLab 12 GeV white paper would be formed. This committee would be involved in the selection, and might invite others. The Steering Committee of about 6-8 people would include Lab management and users. Thus Christoph Leeman, Larry Cardman, and Nathan Isgur are on this committee. The BOD (in executive session) selected Rolf Ent, Curtis Meyer, J.M. Laget, and Z.-E. Meziani to represent the users on the committee {and each has agreed to serve, as of 3/7}. For the Users meeting, the present plan is to have 45/45 minutes for presentation/discussion of working group summaries, and then additional talks on a few key experiments. It will be a three day meeting, June 21-23. Rooms will be reserved for a 4th day, if necessary.
There was discussion of the e+p,A colliders being discussed in the community. John Cameron and several others will come to JLab to talk about one of these projects. The UGBOD welcomes this and hopes that discussions lead to a strong united front in the long range planning process.
Ricki Roche, the student observer on the UGBOD, discussed the results of a graduate student survey. Some of the student comments included,
- would like access to a gym (either CNU or discounts at local gyms)
- better medical services/referrals
- getting fees for conferences waived
- information packet when students arrive here
- not getting priority for video conferencing
- more graduate student activities.
Gail Dodge presented a draft proposal to be submitted to SURA to establish a $1000 annual thesis prize. Preliminary discussion indicates that SURA is likely to support this proposal. Students who have been awarded their Ph.D. within the previous year would be eligible for the award. There would be no publication requirement for the award, although clearly publication of both letters and archival papers is encouraged. The BOD enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed this proposal.
Gail also discussed getting in-state tuition at local state universities for JLab grad students. It is proving hard to get action on this.
Charlie Glashausser led a discussion on experiment installation. The initial experiment post-accounting forms have been returned. It was decided that the BOD should make a prioritized list of improvements suggested in these forms for presentation to management. Dick Madey reported no serious problems. Donal Day reported that the lab is learning a lot, getting better at installation. Bernhard Mecking reported that the Hall B cryo group is getting the polarized target ready for installation in Aug. They have distractions from working on the high power cryo target.
Rory Miskimen reported on EH&S issues. The EH&S exam is taken just once, and the ODH test once every two years. These are computer based exams taken in the Users office. The trailer for the radiation worker exam isn't set up yet. They just started working on the trailer a month ago. They should be using the trailer in a couple of months for the practical exam. This exam is taken just once. Right now this exam is offered only on Thursdays in the ARC. In the future it can be taken at any time with advance notice. They are still using a paper exam for the radiation worker test. By the end of the summer they'll be using computer based tutorials and testing.
Donal Day reported on the quality of life. New badging should start next week. When everyone is badged the lab will go to a system where doors are badge operated. That might be around mid April.
Werner Boeglin reported on computers. There's a long delay in getting data from the silo. Most of the silo access is from halls A and C. No smart software to coordinate access is used, but it's not clear if it would help. Users need to be aware of this bottleneck and coordinate tape access. Bernhard Mecking commented that Hall B expects to get much higher data compression using DST's.
Gary Adams reported on the PAC. The UGBOD recommends that in the call to proposals it should be made clear to the users that the PAC recommends time to achieve the error bars for physics. If conditions improve between submission and running, so that these errors can be achieved in a shorter time, the Lab management will generally renormalize the time awarded by the PAC. Rory Miskimen pointed out that the Chiral Dynamics workshop was being held at the same time as PAC 18. There's a possibility that the PAC might enhance attendance at the workshop.
Dennis Skopik reported on planning for jeopardy at PACs 18 and 19.
There are 15-17 experiments in Hall A, and 5-7 in Hall C under jeopardy. It was decided that proposals under jeopardy that are not submitted to the PAC will be considered withdrawn, and given a "W". The spokesmen are considered to have given up these experiments as intellectual property. The beam time for these experiments will go into the pool of beam time to be alloted to other experiments, as if the experiment had been presented and not approved.
Kees DeJager discussed Hall A issues. A high power 3He target is installed for (e,e'p), and (e,e'pn) parasite studies are also underway. Two PRL's were published last year. There have been some initial studies of the MAD ( 30 msr, 6 GeV/c, 10^-3 res), magnet which came up at the 12 GeV workshop.
Bernhard Mecking reported on Hall B activities. They're getting ready for a polarized target run that will start this Fall. In Feb-march 2001 they plan to run g8, the polarized photon experiment. Data analysis has not kept up with DAQ speed, which is now up to 3 kHz. Codes need to be optimized and there's a move to dST's so that the tape silo doesn't become a limiting factor. There's progress on technical publications, with the tagger paper just coming out. g6 has submitted a letter to the collaboration for review.
Roger Carlini reported on Hall C activities. They did 5 experiments in 1999. In 2000-2002 they plan to do Madey's GeN, G0, and Day's GeN. Tang is on the floor right now with the hypernuclear experiment.
Karen Hokansson reported on the problems with collecting user dues. More money is needed, so that users might provide refreshments at workshops like the 12 GeV one, eg, or contribute to a thesis prize or scholarship, etc. No convenient way was found to collect $10 from each user. We will try e-mail solicitation, in addition to collecting it at the annual users meeting.
Gary Adams discussed options in video conferencing. Hall B is testing a system developed by Dave Heddle and Dave Doughty called WEB4M. It is purely for web presentation, no cameras are involved. The contact person in Hall B is Will Brooks. JLab has a 20 user license, all you need is the password to use the system. Expansion of tests to other Halls is suggested.
The nominations committee has almost completed it's job. [Note: Completed, as of 3/22.]
In the executive session the user representatives to the white paper steering committee were selected (previously reported in these minutes) It was requested that Donal Day be kept informed of security issues at the lab and that he be asked for advice on these issues. The Lab agreed. Donal will report back to the BOD as apropriate. An early visit of Cameron et al to JLab should be encouraged. Unity is very important.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30.
Minutes reported by Rory Miskimen.

Shula Zaken, Mr Olmert's personal secretary, is being investigated by police over alleged bribe taking.
She has not been charged. More than 15 others, including senior officials, are being investigated as part of the same case. They all deny any wrongdoing.
Police say that there is no direct connection in this case to Mr Olmert.
Scandals of some kind are hanging over several senior Israeli politicians.
Tax breaks
Police have for several months been investigating allegations that top government officials had either received or given bribes to win tax breaks for companies, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
A Tel Aviv magistrate's court banned Ms Zaken from entering the prime minister's office or leaving the country during the next two weeks.
Ms Zaken has been one of Mr Olmert's close aides for 30 years.
Other figures allegedly involved in the scandal are Jacky Matza, the head of Israeli Tax Authority, and his immediate predecessor in the job, Eitan Rub.
Israel Army Radio says that Finance Minister Avraham Hirchson is considering appointing a temporary replacement for Mr Matza for the duration of the investigation.
Political scandals
President Moshe Katsav may be charged over allegations of rape, sexual harassment and wire-tapping.
Mr Olmert has been the subject a number of corruption investigations over property deals and appointments. Ha has not been charged in relation to any of these.
Two allies of Mr Olmert are also on trial: former Justice Minister Haim Ramon is charged with sexual misconduct; while Tzahi Hanegbi is charged with making illegal appointments as environment minister.
All deny any wrongdoing.

The XSDDoc template set is found in
'templates/XSDDoc/' subdirectory of DocFlex/XML archive.
It is immediately ready to use. Just read How To Get Started!
This kind of documentation may be useful for both the XML schema authors
(e.g. to publish the XML schema project on the web)
and those who simply need to understand particular large XML schemas.
The framed HTML documentation provides most detailed and easy accessible information about
all the XML schema components and interconnections between them.
These screenshots show such a documentation (click on a screenshot to view the real HTML):
Similar to HTML, the RTF documentation may be
also interconnected with hyperlinks. In addition, many hyperlinks
are duplicated with page number references, which may greatly help to use/navigate
such documentation in a printed form.
On the following screenshots, you can see pages of an RTF documentation generated by the same
"XML Schema for XML Schemas" (click to enlarge):
Here is an example of the XML schema documentation in PDF format generated in that way
(click on the screenshot to see/download the PDF file, 2.6 MB):
See also: FAQ | How to generate a single documentation by multiple XML schemas?
XML catalogs may be used in large XML schema projects to avoid referencing separate XML schema files from each other by direct file names.
For more information, see
DocFlex/XML | Documentation | Installation / Configuration Files | XML Catalogs.
See also: How everything is documented | Local Elements
So, how do all those design patterns differ from one another in respect of documenting them?
Or asking it otherwise, what might be common?
If you look closely into this, you could notice that all XML schema design patterns come down
to a few specifics, all of which can be addressed by a single documentation approach:
You don't need to do anything special about this.
Both <xs:import> and <xs:include> XSD elements
are supported. All referenced schemas will be automatically loaded and documented.
Moreover, using template parameters:
That is done using <xs:redefine> XSD elements, which are supported
by XSDDoc very well!
See: Features | XML Schemas | Processing/documenting of redefinitions
If you document all of this straight (which is actually what all other known to us XML schema doc-generators do!),
in certain cases you may get in your XML schema documentation a mess made of numerous repeating local element names,
in which it could be difficult to find some useful information.
This XML schema doc-generator provides two ways of dealing with that problem:
When several locally declared elements have the same name but different content models,
to distinguish them from one another across the documentation, the element names can be extended
so us to make them unique. This is controlled by
"Show | Local Element Extension"
For more details, see
Features | Local Elements | Global Naming of Local Elements.
All those locally declared elements that share the same name and are based on the same global type
(which means they have the same content model) can be represented and documented as a single entity called
unified local element. That may substantially reduce and clarify the documentation!
This is illustrated by two documentations generated from the same XML schema:
On the left you can see the documentation generated with unifying local elements by type enabled.
On the right, all local elements were documented straight, without any unification.
Click on the screenshots to view the docs:
The difference is quickly visible when you look at the
navigation list
(bottom-right frame) of both documentations.
For further details, see
Features | Local Elements | Global Documenting | Unifying Local Elements By Type.
Again, if you document it straight, various navigation lists and element summaries will get crowded
with insignificant local elements, in which you may have trouble to find what you need.
XSDDoc also provides a way to deal with this.
The "Generate Details | Elements | Local Elements"
parameter allows you to specify that all local elements with simple content
should be documented only locally within the details of their parent elements.
As an example, here are two documentations generated for the same little XML schema (from
"Sales Report" sample).
On the left is the documentation, in which only global elements and local elements with complex type
are documented separately
On the right, all elements are documented separately.
Click on the screenshots to view the docs:
Such groups of elements, called substitution groups, are specifically recognized and documented
by XSDDoc.
For example, the following "XML Schema for XSLT 2.0"
extensively uses substitution groups (click on the screenshot):
Using the following template parameters you can preserve
the original ordering of your elements/attributes at various locations of the documentation:
In general, the W3C XML schema specification
itself provides no functionality to assign which of the XML elements declared in an XML schema must be
the root of any XML document that complies with that schema.
However, you can solve this problem by placing the declaration of the root element the first in the XML schema.
Further, when you generate documentation for that XML schema, unselect the
"Generate Details | Sorting | Components"
parameter so that the original order of element declarations will be preserved in the documentation.
If your XML schema is broken into several XSD files, specify the one of them that contains
the root element declaration to be processed the first by the generator
(see also FAQ | How to generate a single documentation by multiple XML schemas?)
and unselect the
"Generate Details | Sorting | Schemas"
That will ensure that the root element gets on the top of various navigation lists and summaries,
which will highlight its special role.
Since the version 2.6.0, XSDDoc is able to document correctly any number
of conflicting XML schemas!
In short, this works as follows:
Note that any conflicting schemas, if they are correct indeed,
cannot reference to each other (both directly and indirectly)!
<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>
Normally, such a subdirectory name is derived from the name of the XML schema file.
If that name duplicates another schema's name, it will be extended with a numeric suffix so as to make
the subdirectory unique. For example:
We believe that a true XML schema documentation should allow the user to quickly find any necessary meaningful
information about the XML schema, if only that information could be automatically obtained or deduced from it.
(At that, everything must be accurate -- not just claimed to be there -- which in fact is not so simple to achieve!)
The following documentation features that we have worked out and supported could help to achieve that objective.

No Java code has been written anywhere specifically for the purpose of XML schema doc-generation!
Neither any other XML processing technologies
(e.g. XSL Transformations)
are used anywhere in background!
The XSDDoc templates provide great a lot of
parameters (> 400),
which make possible adjusting the content (and some formatting) of the generated XML Schema documentation
within a huge range of details, starting from a few summaries and overviews up to the most comprehensive
documentation containing every feature possible.
The following screenshot shows the
template open in the Template Designer (click to see in full-size):
XML Type
Main Templates
Template Parameters
However, DocFlex does support any kind of diagrams on the level of templates.
Diagrams may be supplied also with hypertext imagemaps, which allow programming in templates
the generation of diagram links to any parts of the documentation.
DocFlex treats diagrams as some kind of graphical representation of particular data source elements
(DSM elements).
Therefore, diagrams (along with the imagemaps) must come from the data source itself, via its driver.
In the case of DocFlex/XML, the data source driver is basically a reader of XML files.
But it can be configured with a special extension called
Element Image Provider,
which can generate some image representations (i.e. diagrams) for some XML elements.
Those images are supplied together with the respective XML elements. So, they can be processed with templates
(i.e. inserted in the output documentation).
How exactly the Element Image Provider
produces the diagrams is beyond the DocFlex/XML core.
It can be equally our own diagraming engine or an integration with some external system able to generate the necessary
We do not have a diagramming engine yet.
But we do have developed the integrations with several third-party XML editors
able to generate the XSD diagrams. This includes:
Once you click the "Run" button, the dialog will transform itself to show
the progress of the generation:
The parameter inspector is invoked from the generator dialog
by clicking "Params" button.
Its content is created dynamically from the parameter definitions found in the template.
The following screenshot shows the Parameter Inspector dialog of
template (click on the picture to see a more expanded view):
The parameters are organized in groups (which may contain subgroups and so on).
A group heading may also be a parameter itself.
Each parameter group may appear in expanded or collapsed state like a tree node.
The group states are also saved in the generator.config file
to be restored again when the inspector is invoked next time for the same templates.
Using inspector popup menu, you can quickly reset all parameters in a group to their default values.
Besides the Parameter Inspector dialog, you can always set any template parameters directly on the
command line using
-p option.
Click on the link in the first column to see the integration details.
In further explanations, we shall refer to that directory as '{docflex-xml}'.
If you don't have one of those Java versions installed on your system, you can freely
download and install the most recent Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version
from Java Technology web-site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/
The doc-generator (Template Processor) is launched by
generator.command shell script file.
To be able running it, first you need to assign it with the executable privilege as follows:
Run the Terminal and type in it 'chmod u+x' followed by a space and the full pathname of the script file
(instead of typing it, just drag generator.command from the Finder into the Terminal window). Then, press Enter.
Now, you can run generator.command from the Finder just by clicking twice on it.
'chmod u+x'
When you run generator.command, the Generator Dialog
should show up like on this screenshot:
Edit generator.sh to specify the JAVA_HOME variable according to the location of Java 1.4.x - 8.x
installed on your system. Edit also the file "Permission" properties to allow it to be executed by Linux.
Run that generator.sh. You will see the Generator Dialog
like shown on this screenshot:
By default, XSDDoc will work in limited mode
under the Limited Free License.
This mode allows you to generate a complete framed HTML
documentation (without diagrams) by any your XML schemas and use it for any purposes.
There is no limitation on the number or content of the processed XML schemas!
In limited mode, however, you cannot (or may not) do the following things:
Hence don't be surprised that you may get too big (complete) documentation, which is not exactly what you want.
That what you want may be possible too, most likely when all customization parameters are enabled.
But you have to pay for this (see below).

ACM / IEEE-CS Jointly Published Curricula
Perhaps the most significant way to advance computing as a science and discipline, is by the joint publication of curriculum guidelines that will help train future generations of computing professionals. In the decades since the 1960s ACM and IEEE-CS (along with other leading scientific computing societies) have produced curriculum recommendations to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing computing technology landscape. This joint activity continues to evolve as new computing disciplines emerge and existing curriculum recommendations need to be updated.
ACM and IEEE-CS have an agreed upon Memo of Understanding Regarding Joint Efforts on Computing Curriculum that addresses all aspects of publication. Together, they have published curriculum guidelines for the following areas: undergraduate Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, and Software Engineering. Curriculum 68: Recommendations for Academic Programs in Computer Science represented the first joint curricular effort between ACM and IEEE-CS.
In terms of the latest curriculum efforts, representatives from ACM and IEEE-CS comprise the CS2013 Steering Committee. Computer Science 2013 (CS2013) revisits and redefines the knowledge areas in CS, rethinking the essentials necessary for a CS curriculum. The high-level themes on which the CS2013 is based include: The "Big Tent" View of CS; Managing the Size of the Curriculum; Actual Course Exemplars; and Institutional Needs.

Chris Brown Producer Disses Rihanna
Last week, after the picture of Drake and Chris Brown in the studio surfaced online, everyone was pretty excited about the two finally putting aside their beef they had from years ago.
TMZ spoke with the Hip Hop producer Mally Mall who claims he initiated ending the beef by bringing the two R&B artists to his Las Vegas home.
The producer didn't just explain how it happened but he also had a few choice words for the reason their beef started in the first place, Rihanna.
When asked if Rihanna was ever mentioned in the studio he said, "I think everyone gets the pictures now, you act like a jump off you get treated like one."

Have mosquitoes been making your life miserable? If you've had enough of their annoying bites and have decided to rid yourself of these pests, you've probably been looking for a way to banish mosquitoes for good.
As you may have already discovered, there are many mosquito repellant options available to you. To help make the decision a little bit easier, let's look at some of the most important factors you need to consider when selecting a mosquito repellant product.
Chemical ingredients: You should always research the ingredients of the insecticides (and any other chemical products) you use. For one thing, you want to avoid any chemicals to which you may have had a negative reaction in the past. You also need to be aware of any safety precautions or special usage/handling guidelines for specific chemicals. Many popular insecticides fall under a category known as pyrethroids. These are synthetic (man-made) versions of the plant-based chemical pyrethrum, which has insecticide properties. Of course, if you prefer a more natural product, you can always go with pyrethrin products, which are actually derived from plants. Both are very effective at killing a wide variety of insects and produce quick results. Tip: you may want to look for a product that contains a growth regulator chemical, which can help eliminate the problem in the long-term.
Application method: You have several choices of application methods. Some mosquito repellants come in a liquid form that is applied by spraying—similar to many other insect-repellant sprays. This is a good option for individual use in small spaces, and when you want immediate results via on-contact kills. There are also mosquito misting machines and foggers. These are ideal for larger areas, and for when you want ongoing control. They provide long-term, continuous protection—and can often be programmed to work automatically, according to whatever schedule you prefer. If you need to treat a large area of property, truck-mounted foggers are a convenient way to distribute the mosquito repellant quickly and easily. When considering the different application methods, you will want to think about the size and type of space involved, the amount of time and energy you can invest in this task, and your budget.
Price: Not surprisingly, prices vary widely when it comes to mosquito repellant options. A basic spray product can be very inexpensive. At the other end of the spectrum, there are the automated and electric foggers and misting systems, which can be more costly (although they provide much more insect-fighting protection). To get the best bang for your buck, look for mosquito repellants that are also effective at killing many other types of insects. This way, you can save money by using just one product, instead of buying several.
Solutions Pest & Lawn has a wide variety of mosquito repellant products, so you'll be sure to find quite a few that can fit your needs.
