Thai Basil Eggplant
Grand Ma's Tofu
There is just something about Chinese food around the holidays, it just feels right! This week I had the added encouragement of /52weeks Take Out at Home theme. I debated about trying a thincrust pizza but forgetting to add water to the bread machine took care of that idea, so on to Chinese Food! Joe and I get Chinese food about once a month and our favorite place no longer ask us what we want, they hear my name and they know we are calling for eggplant and tofu. I had wanted to try making both of these recipes for awhile but every recipe I found online featured either pork or fish sauce and I wasn't sure how our place does it without either of those. So I started experimenting with sauces, testing them out on soba noodles until I found the "right" combination. The hardest part was finding a chili paste for the tofu that didn't include shrimp paste or fish sauce, but after a very long trip to the Asian grocery store I was able to locate one that was safe!
The best part about these dishes is that the sauces are so versatile, could easily switch things up and do a Thai Basil Tofu or a Grand Ma's Eggplant. Each of these dishes would also make a great topping for some rice noodles, or just as they are.

Wally World has 'em for something like 15 bucks or so. K-Mart, BBQ Galore, HD and Lowes, etc.
What I'd like to find in an inline timer. Turn it one way to cook with no time limit and wind it up the other way to clean the grill and then shut off the gas. Maybe it could be incorporated with a gauge.

Wanted to add that Kanthal wire 16 gauge and up is on Amazon for pretty cheap. The wire is used in nicotine vaporizers. I've fired it to cone 6 with no problem, the description says it can go up to 2550F, so cone 10 should also be fine.

One of my favorite parts of this image is the "faint outer shells" of the structure. I love the Veil Nebula and I've never tried a Mosaic. I only wished I started this earlier in the summer, my last frame of NGC6960 was sinking fast in the west in October. I was able to capture NGC6960 during the last quarter of the moon, an advantage using Orion?s Narrowband filters.

From BBQ USA, page 374.
Tried this sans the barbecue sauce tonight and it turned out very good. I used 4 chicken legs and 2 turkey thighs and cooked them at 325-350 to right about 165, and I think they would've been fine 5 or even 10 degrees warmer than that. This was also the first time I grilled turkey pieces and I can see myself doing more of that in the future - maybe Cornell style.
The pieces start out skin-up and I flipped them skin-down with the 1st baste, but left them skin-down with the 2nd baste. After that I flipped them each time.

Betsy Ross Flag Bulldog Cotton 4' x 6'
I have a flag, but I rarely put it out. I'm thinking I might be more likely to put out a Betsy Ross. I don't even know why. Except I like the "constellation" of stars in a circle. And Betsy Ross was hot, of course.

Hi, I'm David Durkee, and I'm currently an engineer on the Flash Professional team. I've been using the Text Layout Framework for about three years now on various projects, including the integration of the engine in Flash CS5. Over that time I've created a few text editing environments with TLF (I'm going to say seven at a quick count) and I've refined my techniques from project to project. Now, with the permission of my managers, I'm going to release some of the code I've written through this blog.
I'll be posting as time permits. It takes some time to get the code ready for release. I create wrapper code to demonstrate it and may end up trying it out in ways that I haven't used it before, even if I've already used it in multiple projects. That happened with code I'm working on for my first real post (after this introduction). And in some cases I may have to be careful to get code approved before I let it out into the wild. So there may be some time between releases. But if the releases generate interest and questions, maybe I'll be able to fill in with additional discussions in between code releases.
Oh, by the way. Some of these code releases will be useable with Flash, some with Flex, and some with both. Some may be AIR-specific. While most will be about creating UI to edit TLF, others may use TLF in different ways.

Data into information
When designing information transfer systems, Editor in Chief Walt Boyes believes it is critical to be able to weigh properly the value of each piece of information.
Most of us are DROWNING IN OCEANS OF DATA,"management process guru Dr. Eli Goldratt writes, in his book The Haystack Syndrome, "so why does it seem we seldom have sufficient information? This maddening dilemma of our technological age is a factor in every important decision, and an issue we expect to have addressed by modern-day information systems."
Goldratt's dilemma is going to be made considerably worse in the very near future by the coming widespread adoption of mesh networks and "mote" and "i-Bean" type sensors (see Distributed Intelligence, Developing Your Potential, and Technically Speaking). Although these new sensors are making it possible to increase the amount of data we can collect by orders of magnitude, the Zigbee protocol and mesh networks and low-power sensors do not, in themselves, do anything to produce "information" out of all this data.
Drowning in a Sea of Data
For those of you already drowning in a sea of data, the prospects of getting orders of magnitude more data must be truly daunting. As data analysis consultant Diana Bouchard notes, "For most of the industrial era, we had had too little data. Now we have more than we know what to do with." Bouchard continues, "Once we sit down and figure out how to get the real information content out of the data, we should be able to run our plants a lot more effectively."
This is the key, according to Stefano Angioletti, principal of SoftBrasil, a system integrator located in Sao Paulo. The most important improvement in data collection, he says, "is the development of statistical methods to collect and sample data to reflect the reality of process in all perspectives."
"The big bucks lie," says CONTROL columnist and industry consultant Greg McMillan, "in sustaining the benefits from process control improvement. This requires online performance indicators that show the trajectory and history of incremental benefits from increased process efficiency and capacity."
David Lee, a process engineer at Millennium Chemical Co., concurs. "We collect data on the plant floor to enable manipulation of that data, both near real-time and historical, to assist in the operation of plant equipment. The ability to do this within a controller environment is, at best, limited."
Angioletti says the most important reason to collect data on the plant floor is, "visibility to support the necessity of controlling. Asset management and good control of equipment and process is the same. Once again, the development of low cost solutions and more reliable systems make it feasible to implement many important management strategies."
Lee points out, "Applications include statistical process and quality control, KPI (Key Performance Indicators ed.) calculation, performance monitoring, and so on. In addition, the presentation of data to non shop floor personnel such as production management and engineering is becoming essential for both process optimization and troubleshooting purposes."
In the accompanying supplement from the HART Communication Foundtion, A. J. Lambert, of BP's PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid) plant in Wando, S. C., notes that his plant is making up for reduced process control funding by using previously underutilized information from field instruments to improve maintenance response and uptime. "This BP plant is saving hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in just maintenance and production costs," he says. That's a big bottom line reason to collect more data and then use it.
How Data is Collected is Changing
Data collecting in process industries grew like Topsy, rather than being integrally designed. When many process plants were constructed, there was no concept of "data" coming from the process. In the 1970s, distributed control began with transmission of analog process variables in real-time to analog controllers and control stations. Trend and total were collected, if required, using analog recorders and totalizers.
The drive toward continuous process improvement awakened plant managements to the possibilities of using data other than setpoints and actual real-time values, which might be collected from the control system in digital form. Contrast this with the aerospace industry and research labs in many process industries, where the very concept of data collection was important from the beginning.
David Lee comments, "Good data collection allows ever-improving diagnostic and monitoring capabilities on the plant floor. With the trend towards greater plant reliability requirements to increase throughput by decreasing unexpected downtime, this is becoming extremely important. Predictive maintenance through continuous monitoring of key process and derived parameters is a key tool, as is incident investigation following a failure." Maurice Wilkins, chairman of the World Batch Forum, and also at Millennium, says, "I agree with Lee. Predictive maintenance is a key benefit. For instance, we've used our data historian here for a while to measure valve movements in certain critical areas to ensure continued operation."
Most process plants start out with a simple add-on to their control system: batch reports. Most modern SCADA systems have the capacity to output data, but their reports are often crude and cumbersome. "They are easy to configure and to maintain," says Cliff Speedy, a consultant in SCADA and automation issues, "but they lack the flexibility to venture past simple ingredient lists."
Rather than beef up the reporting functions of these software systems, some manufacturers have standardized on a form of SQL (structured query language), which is used to pull data from the control system and push it into a database such as Oracle or Access, where the reporting and data manipulation tools are of a very high order.
Optimization vs. Loop Control
Originally, process control focused on the basic control loop: sensor, controller, final control element. Now, as revealed in the sidebar, "After the Loop, What?" the metaphor of control loops may be changing to something else. "Perhaps a network of control inputs and feedback responses similar to a spider web," suggests Mark Albert, sales manager of Logic Beach, a datalogger manufacturer. "When a fly enters the web there are dozens of feedback paths to the control point which can be anywhere on the web at any particular time."
What is making this concept possible is the development of fast, digitally connected sensors and sensor networks, and the data analysis tools to go with them. Diana Bouchard notes, "The wide dissemination of integrated more-or-less-COTS (commercial, off the shelf) process information systems means that you no longer have to keep and feed a database programmer on site so you can collect and process your data."
Wilkins points out another development. "Way before asset management became an âin-vogue' term," he says, "refineries were using predictive maintenance and continuous monitoring on compressors, and not without significant expense. The current technology, especially Fieldbus, allows smaller companies such as ours to have some of the same benefits."
Tim Donaldson, marketing manager for Iconics Inc., agrees. "The two biggest things that come to mind are OPC and .NET technology. With OPC, this has enabled a standard protocol to be used for connecting software to plant devices, breaking the barriers of having to have point-to-point proprietary connections." In regard to Microsoft's .NET architecture, Donaldson points out that "This new platform lays the groundwork for applications to be built for bridging data and viewing data anywhere, anytime. data bridging can happen between production, process control, business systems, ERP, SCM, CRM and legacy systems. It also allows viewing from across the Web and with wireless devices."
The Future of Data Collection
The cost of monitoring more parameters and collecting more data is dropping drastically. The cost of wiring dwarfs the sensor cost itself, and as wireless networks become simpler and more robust, the idea of a completely wireless plant control system may not be so far off. Millennial Net co-founder Sokwoo Rhee's i-Beans, for example, are hardware modules that can allow instrumentation-like gauges, sensors and actuators to communicate over self-organizing and self-healing wireless networks that can operate with an extremely low rate of power consumption on the energy of a 3-V coin-sized battery for years at a time. It is the network architecture, not the sensor, which really is the big news. Self-organizing and self-healing networks make it possible to implement wireless even in many critical function areas in the process. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) just let a contract to GE and a pair of wireless network developers to create mesh networks that are robust enough to be able to be used to monitor industrial motor efficiency in real time.
But Is It Information?
Data isn't "information" until it is received by somebody who can use it to make decisions. Jonathan Pollet founder and CEO of PlantData Technologies notes, "Often we still find that data is being collected in inefficient methods, and some that have deployed high-end SCADA and DCS systems are still doing a lot of manual data collection in parallel with the data that the SCADA and DCS systems are already collecting. Being able to step back and understand what are the important pieces of information to collect, and which tools are best to use in the process of acquiring and normalizing the data requires the ability to understand industrial automation systems, work flow processes, and the capabilities of today's modern data acquisition and normalization techniques. The industry standards built around Ethernet TCP/IP, OPC, and XML have allowed us to build a five-layer model that we call "STAND" for streamlining data collection from any field device using any communication method, and moving that data efficiently through to the end user, reporting tool, or web page. (see Figure)"
When designing information transfer systems, it is critical to be able to weight properly the value of each piece of information. Nowhere is this more evident than in Alarm Management. An operator who has to deal with 300 alarms per hour will simply turn off the alarms, rather than try to figure out what the pattern these alarms are building says. Not only do you need good information system design, but delivery and presentation of the information (human factors, see "Designing Control Rooms for Humans" CONTROL, July '04, p47) is critical to the ability to use it.
The real issue, though, is how to produce product to the customer's requirements. It isn't about control parameters at all. We've progressed from analog loop monitoring to plant optimization and asset management on the strength of increasingly robust and less costly tools and strategies. Now it only remains to make it all pay.
e are taught to think in terms of classical control loops ⦠sensor, controller, control element, but recent developments in advanced process control seem to indicate that Mark Albert's metaphor of a spider web may be more accurate than the conventional loop metaphor we've been accustomed to. Should we be thinking up a new metaphor for control other than loops? What would it be?
Greg McMillan suggests, "'unit operation control.' Ultimately what you want to do is improve the control of a unit operation such as a heat exchanger, evaporator, crystallizer, fermentor, reactor and distillation column, which are all unit operations." This is the difference between the way a process engineer thinks and the way a control engineer does. "For a process engineer it is natural to think in terms of these unit operations but control engineers are focused on individual measurements and loops."
Diana Bouchard says that there are already metaphors in use that we might adopt more widely. "One metaphor that is already in existence," she says, "is feed-forward model control. This will become important because many processes are evolving towards faster throughput, minimal delay time in tanks, and faster response to upsets in the interest of faster throughput and meeting more demanding quality specifications. In these processes, you will not have time for a pure feedback loop to work. You are not going to be allowed to make 70 tons of bad paper before you find out you had a problem."
Jonathan Pollet, founder and CEO of PlantData Technologies, says, "Instead of looking at process control one loop at a time, it would be better if we could call it Total Process Management. Operations is not really concerned about watching the condition of one particular PID loop, but more importantly, how all of the contributing process control loops have an effect on the overall process. Logging data out of the control system into database systems allows the control system data to be aggregated with data from other sources, like inventory levels, raw material usage, maintenance systems, and more. When operations teams can set the "Big Picture" then we find that companies are able to really make strides in removing wasted materials and time out of their processes. We need to remove the notion of silo applications like SCADA, DCS, PLC, Maintenance Systems, Inventory Systems, Sales/Marketing Systems, and come up with a better way to integrate all of these into an intelligent Process Management System."

The Jäger Brigade , a PC gaming clan.What are we about?
The Jäger Brigade
We are a small clan that focuses on one ideaology , which is that a small group of active , tightnit gamers are the best kind of gamers.
We have no age requirements , we simply ask that you are mature.
Our ranks are not based on skill , but on how well we know you , how nice of a person you are , how trusting of you we are and how long you have been with us.
We also accept German members , but you must know and speak at least basic English
You can talk in German in clan chat , but when directly talking to another English speaking clan member or to an administrator , you must talk in English.
What are our rules?
Swearing is allowed, although racism is not.
Ranks are here for a reason. Listen to superiors, but feel free to report them to one of the officers if you feel they are abusing their position.
Because we focus on an active community, you should aim to be online at least 2 hours per weekend or 4 hours during the working week.
If you cannot make these hours for some reason, explain to one of the clan administrators why you cannot join in games, and how long the restriction will last. If you come back from something you didn't foresee happening, for example an accident, and find yourself removed from the clan, contact one of the clan administrators.
We are only playing games. If you find yourself losing, do not verbally attack any of the opposing team or even your own team. Calling anyone an n00b will land you in hot water.
Don't be a dick outside of games, to anyone in the clan.
Debates and arguments are allowed, but keep it reasonable. If you have any very controversial opinions, it is better to keep them to yourself unless you have a very convincing argument for it.
If you are trusted to do a task by an administrator, don't let us down. Knowing any of them in real life is not a good excuse for slacking.
And finally , we really hate people that 'Play2Win' or are generally bad losers
What are the requirements to join this clan?
1. You have access to the games client Steam (almost everyone) and are willing to make an account for it.
2. You have a decent amount of grammar skills , although we aren't asking for a degree in english , just not constant text speak.
3. You are reasonably mature when the time comes , but having a laugh is always welcomed.
4. On a regular week , you can go on at least once a week for a good enough amount of time.
5. You aren't part of another clan , although public groups are allowed , as well as honorary positions.
6. You can abide by the rules , and are willing to take orders in game.
What games do you guys play?
We have official clan games which everyone is encouraged to take part in on Sundays. Whatever we play is up to the Administrators , but we must pick from one of the approved games. Approved games are ones which more than 50% of the clan own and can play. If you want to add a game to this list , contact an Administrator. If you dont own one of the games, contact one of the admins again , who will either give you a pardon for that week , or if you are a cool enough dude , gift it to you.
Here are a list of the currently approved games.
Team Fortress 2
All Mount and Blade Games
Counterstrike Source
Rome : Total War and expansion Barbarian Invasion.
You still here?
If you are interested in joining , contact
Jaginun on steam,
or e-mail the admin team at
For more information , go to
For the clan website , go to
I will be answering questions put forth in the thread , about the clan.
Thanks for reading.

OK , cheers man for the support , and I will take your advice.
Just get a spam mail to the inbox my forum account is registered to, addressed to JagerBrigade @ gmail.com (and probably bcc to others). Not sure if it comes from the forums or from your end.Play ArmA with us. (Competence not required.)
It's okay to not like things.

The act of crossing multiple lanes of traffic, typically from the innermost lane, to make an exit. This is a single, swift motion and is usually at a 45º or greater angle to traffic. The use of a blinker or the act of stopping in a lane before switching to another lane automatically disqualifies the act from falling under the Georgia Shuffle. This can be the result of chatting on the phone, applying mascara or just being a really bad driver.
"Hahaha, yeah you were really plaste... oh crap, hold on a sec... ...ok sorry, had to do a Georgia Shuffle to make my exit. Anyhow as I was saying..."

Oh, and after that experience I decided NOT to have mahogany walled hallways, chrome sculptures, a two story designer library
My senior year at Purdue, I interviewed with the Dodge truck division. What I recall, most vividly, was that the office of the R&D department's manager was finished with corrugated cardboard with brown pin stripe accents. "Trucks" were still just trucks in 1973 and soccer moms hadn't been invented yet so I guess there wasn't any budget for mahogany.

Sangeeta loved school, but following a beating from a teacher she dropped out, and had already missed a year of schooling when the Lebara Foundation first heard her story.
The Lebara Foundation paid for Sangeeta to attend another school near the slum, and also provided a uniform and books. Now Sangeeta loves school again, and enjoys a good relationship with her teachers.

FLUSHING MEADOWS, N.Y. -- No. 20-ranked St. Francis College defeated Connecticut College, 21-3, and No. 18 Brown University, 16-7, at Flushing Meadow Pool in Flushing, N.Y.
Against Connecticut College, the Terriers outscored the Camels 14-1 over the first half. Sophomore goalkeeper Igor Mladenovic started the contest and recorded four saves. Later in the second half, Mladenovic was able to record a pair of goals. In relief, Luka Raic made nine saves
Senior Richard Polgar led the team with four goals, while sophomore Marko Dzigurski notched three and the quartet of senior Nemanja Simonovic, junior Josip Jurcevic, senior Tamas Toth and sophomore Bosko Stankovic each tallied two goals apiece in the victory.
In the second match of the morning, the Terriers hosted No. 18 Brown in a match-up of the top-two ranked teams in the Northern Division. In the first quarter, Brown took an early 2-0 lead after goals from James McNamara and Grant Villenevue. At the 5:29 mark, St. Francis notched its first goal as Vuk Vujosevic was able to find space and rattle one past goalkeeper Andrew Brown.
The second quarter was dominated by St. Francis. After allowing a goal to even the match at three, the Terriers scored three straight to take a 6-3 halftime lead.
The Terriers opened up the third quarter with a goal from Marko Gencic at the 4:46 to extend the Terrier lead to 7-3. St. Francis scored four consecutive goals to extend the lead to 10-4.
Brown cut the Terrier lead to five, at 11-6 with a goal from Chris Cullen with twelve seconds remaining in the quarter. It was the closest that the visitors were as the Terriers were able to record the final three goals of the match to seal the victory.
Mladenovic was able to make 17 saves against Brown, including three off a penalty shot and two rebounded attempts that Mladenovic was able to swat away to get the Terrier fans involved in the match.
Aleksandar Pantic and Filip Sasic each scored four goals, while Marko Gencic added three in the Terriers' victory.

Hey guys. I actually used to be a member a long time ago but was mostly a lurker of sorts. I don't even remember my old screen name, to be honest (don't take it personally, I just can't seem to remember things).
I think I joined partly out of caprice, partly because it's my birthday today and I got a sweet message from the site. It warms my heart that I didn't even have to plod through the Spam folder to find a Happy Birthday message this year.
So I'm 27 and feel like I should actually have a grip on my life by now but I totally don't. I'm working at a really divey gay bar, making great tips from local barflies and Martini Queens. I think I already know all the lyrics to every Nicki Minaj song ever (I can't seem to find suicide cult in the yellow pages, would it be under 's' or 'c'?). I live in Georgia and that's pretty much all I can say about that. I'm a vegetarian and extremely and radically non-militant about it. Writing a feature screenplay, which is taking a brutal toll on me right now. I have a Minas Tirith miniature, a level 80 Warlock, play League of Legends and I'm (still) not a virgin.
Anyways, just saying hi! I'd like to be a more productive member this time around. Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!

Juba, South Sudan: The day was supposed to be a rousing moment of hope in a country convulsed by horrific sectarian violence: the Central African Republic, where children have been beheaded, mothers carrying babies on their backs have been gunned down and rampaging mobs have descended on their targets in a storm of machetes and knives.
The Central African Republic's interim President, Catherine Samba-Panza, addressed 4000 soldiers at a ceremony to launch a renewed national army, an event meant to symbolise the military's role as a professional force that protects all civilians. She told the soldiers gathered in Bangui, the capital, that she was proud of the armed forces, calling on them to report for duty and to support her actions.
But moments after the President and dignitaries left, violence exploded. Witnesses said a group of soldiers accused a man of belonging to a mainly Muslim group, the former Seleka rebels, who took over the country last year.
What happened next was swift and brutal. The soldiers seized the man and repeatedly stabbed him.
"He was dead within two minutes," said Peter Bouckaert of the New York-based Human Rights Watch, who observed the killing.
A policeman who tried to stop the soldiers narrowly escaped being killed himself as they screamed that he was a traitor, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Bouckaert documented the violence in a shocking series of tweeted photographs. The victim's leg was severed.
"A man just walked up with the severed leg of the lynching victim, just walking around," tweeted a shocked Mr Bouckaert.
The soldiers piled tyres on the body and set it alight. One leg protruded awkwardly from the ashes. Soldiers celebrated as the flames rose.
A crowd stood in a circle photographing the incident. A soldier threw a grenade at a truck that he thought might have been a Seleka rebel vehicle.
Mr Bouckaert said in a telephone interview that he and his team had witnessed two lynchings and three attempted ones in the past five days.
"We've had to personally intervene to stop people being killed," he said. "In one case, as we drove past a mob trying to kill someone, we used our car to shield him from the mob and bring him to safety."
Mr Bouckaert said the killings were evidence that the crisis had not been stabilised by the arrival of 6600 African and French troops, stretched thinly in a country nearly the size of Texas, about half of which is affected by violence. Looting continues in many neighbourhoods of the capital, where terrified Muslims are packing up and leaving to escape Christian mobs. In other parts of the country, Christian civilians are fleeing Muslim militia attacks.
Mr Bouckaert said the government, United Nations and other international organisations were not doing enough to halt the bloodshed and reassure communities that have endured horrendous suffering for months that those responsible would be arrested and punished.
Ms Samba-Panza did warn in her speech on Wednesday that perpetrators would be held accountable. "At a certain point, everyone will be held responsible for their acts, I am warning troublemakers who continue to sow disorder in the country," she said in her address.
But Mr Bouckaert said her message was not delivered firmly or often enough.
"This is where I think international parties are falling short. It's really important that people who have suffered atrocities hear on the radio that those responsible will be brought to account. That can help calm down the situation. That's what people want to hear. But those messages are not being heard," he said.
"The government is not really being heard. The French keep saying the situation in calming down when it's not."
The boiling undercurrent of sectarian hatred - a recent phenomenon in a country where until last year Christians and Muslims mostly lived peacefully - has seen savage attacks in the capital and in remote areas.
The crisis blew up after a loose alliance of mainly Muslim rebels, the Seleka, boosted by fighters from Chad and Sudan, swept across the country last year, burning villages, unleashing atrocities and installing their leader, Michel Djotodia, as president.
Mr Djotodia disbanded the rebels and folded many into the army, but couldn't control the former Seleka who continued to rampage. Local Christian vigilante groups sprang up to hunt down Muslims, and a dangerous cycle of tit-for-tat attacks began.
Mr Djodotia stepped down last month after intense pressure from African leaders, and many former Seleka left the army.
Further complicating the situation, Mr Bouckaert said, international peacekeepers had allowed former Seleka fighters to flee in recent days to the north-east of the country, where they had unleashed more killings and other atrocities.
He said a brief moment of hope had flickered and died.
"It was a beautiful moment of hope," he said. "Catherine Samba-Panza gave a beautiful speech. Then it just switched into a scene of horror once more in Bangui."

Topic: post resection abdominal contractions
Hi All,My Darling Sister Gail is now about 3 months post Op. She has remaining lesions in her abdomen, lymph nodes and maybe liver. Over the last few weeks she has been experiencing what she describes as sharp contractions of her abdomen which are really knocking her for six. Has anyone experienced anything like this? On a positive note she is feeling okay otherwise, though tired, and has started Chemo last week. She is on the ABC02 trial though has been asigned to Gemcitabine only. A mixed blessing really after I read here that the Cisplatin element of the combined treatment is not well tolerated - I think she would have given up if the side effects were severe. At present she has had very few side effects from the Gemcitabine apart from being tired. Much Love to all. Chris XX

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, which means it's time for all things Guinness and green. But the Irish have given us so much more than stouts and lucky leprechauns. Since the 1960s, it's been a nation that has marched to the beat of different (and very talented) drummers. From Van Morrison to U2, the Emerald Isle has been turning out some of the world's greatest musical talent for decades. This St. Patrick's day, we're celebrating these artists with some recipes inspired by their greatest hits. Turn up the volume and preheat those ovens, because it's time to put the rock back in shamrock.
Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" Meets the Irish Pirate:
It doesn't matter what colored eyes you have; when this song comes on, you gotta sing and dance along. And much like Van's "Brown Eyed Girl," our milkshake recipe is all grown up and ready to hit the town. Meet the Irish Pirate, Cooking Channel's adult version of the infamous mint Shamrock Shake. Full of fresh minty flavor, this sweet and creamy drink has a shot of rum in the mix that you might not taste but might just feel. A few sips and you'll be singin' sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-ti-da…
Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" (And They're Hungry) Irish Stew:
Reuniting with the boys this St. Paddy's day weekend? Then you'll need a hearty meal to keep them satisfied (and sober). Try Tyler Florence's ultimate Irish stew, an authentic recipe he learned from a friend in County Cork, Ireland. Simmered over the stove top for hours, meaty chunks of lamb, chopped carrot and, of course, plenty of potatoes are all rendered soft and tender. It's a simple one-pot dish designed for sharing and lasting stamina.
The Cranberries "Linger" in Honey Butter:
Ah, The Cranberries. Their music transports us back to the 90s in the best way. The band formed in Limerick in 1989, but it was a new female lead singer and songwriter Dolores O'Riordan that launched the group into stardom. In her honor, why not give your St. Patrick's Day feast a feminine and flavorful touch by whipping up a quick batch of this yummy Cranberry Honey Butter. Not only is the band's namesake in the mix, it's got the perfect balance of sweet and tart cran-citrus flavor. Plus pink butter is just way cuter than regular butter (and definitely more appetizing than green). Spread it liberally over a slice of Irish soda bread … or anything edible, really. Do you have to? Do you have to? Do you have to…? Of course not. But you're missing out if you don't.
The Script's "Hall of Fame" Irish Soda Bread:
The band members from The Script grew up together in Dublin, and now they're one of the hottest things since sliced (Irish soda) bread. Their single, "Hall of Fame" is all about striving for and achieving greatness, and if we had to choose one Irish recipe that deserves a place in the culinary hall of fame, it would have to be Irish soda bread. Kelsey's recipe yields a loaf that's wonderfully crunchy on the outside, dense and moist on the inside, and studded with sweet and sour black currants. Cut yourself a slice, spread on some butter, and you've got yourself a breakfast o' champions.
U2's "Sweetest Thing" Chocolate Stout Cupcakes:
Ain't love the sweetest thing? Sure, but it's not always the easiest — just ask Bono. The lead singer of the world's most famous Irish rock band wrote this song as an apology for forgetting his wife's birthday. If only we had shared this recipe for Chocolate Stout Cupcakes in time. Just like their "stormy kind of love," these delicious cakes are full the rich, dark and stormy flavors of cocoa and stout, and the tangy cream cheese frosting is reminiscent of the famously frothy head on a Guinness. All told, they're the sweetest thing you could bring to a St. Patrick's Day party, and hey, it's never too late for makeup cupcakes, Bono.
The Pogues: "Fairytale in New York Mint Cheesecake"
If you're not familiar with this 80's Celtic punk band, you're in for a treat. With their unmistakably Irish sound, the Pogues tell a story of romance and nostalgia in New York City. Though the love story eventually sours, the song builds into a cheerful Celtic jig that's perfect for your St. Paddy's Day playlist. And if you're left feeling hungry for a happy ending, try this dreamy Mint Cheesecake with Chocolate Cookie Crust. It's the quintessential New York dessert with a festive nod to Ireland in its color and design.

New Pics! Benjamin Walker Kicks Ass in 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'
New pics of Benjamin Walker in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter have emerged. Hoorah!
-Lucia Peters
We don't know about you, Bettys, but we're super excited for the release of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter this summer. We've talked about Abe Lincoln and his vamp fighting skills before—a couple of times, actually—and now we're even more excited than ever, because look! New pics, courtesy of EW!
Above is star Benjamin Walker as Honest Abe (though Action Abe might be a more accurate moniker). "It's not a sermon in any way, but it is interesting to look at vampires as the all-encompassing, unspeakable, unknowable evil," Benjamin told EW. "The evil moves among us, and maybe lives next door. It's an ideology that we don't fully understand, but they live by it."
And here's Lincoln in his younger years, at that critical moment when he, already aware of the dangers of vampires, starts deciding to do something about the problem. Benjamin went on, "It's told through the structure of Lincoln's actual life. You not only see these huge fight scenes and great moments of drama, but you get sort of the greatest hits of Lincoln's life, from the mysterious death of his mother through the Gettysburg address. You get a portrait of this man, as well as a thriller."
Read Courtney Stodden Hits New Low
This is shot is from an early scene in the film, when Lincoln travels back to Louisiana to rescue his friend William Johnson, a freed black man played by The Hurt Locker's Anthony Mackie, who has been captured by a nasty collection of vamps. It's a sticky situation, as you can see—that's Benjamin as Lincoln under the chair, being menaced by vampires played by Rufus Sewell and Erin Wasson.
Pretty badass, right? We can't wait! Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter hits cinemas on June 22.

WESTLEA Residents' Association has reformed after 25 years after finding a new need to highlight local issues in West Swindon.
The association met for the first time on Monday after receiving a locality grant to get off the ground, and will look at taking action and lobbying councillors.
The topics up for discussion at the first meeting were road resurfacing, parking, flooding issues and environmental maintenance.
Some successes have been seen already, with the council putting plans in place to repair potholes in the area by November.
Chairman Derek Lowsonsaid the group formed to help prioritise issues important to residents.
"The idea is that the association and the locality forum will be complementary of each other," he said.
"At the forum you might have a number of people expressing different views.
"The aim is to focus on some of the more localised issues for residents in Westlea.
"What happened originally was I asked a question regarding the park at the bottom of the street, where they installed railway sleepers to house flower beds, and it has deteriorated dreadfully.
"After conversations with Gail Light the locality facilitator, the idea was floated for the residents to take it on and do something about it.
"We got a locality grant of £200, and there was no way we were just going to spend that on tidying up the park when we could do it for free.
"After talking to other residents in the area the idea was to form a residents' association because there are a number of issues that need looking at.
"There was a kind of informal association at a coffee morning, but this brings it all together."
"The association is open to all residents, and we currently have about a dozen in attendance, but it is still early days," Dereksaid.
"At the last meeting issues such as road resurfacing came up, and we have now been told the work will go ahead by November.
"There are also concerns about parking in Westlea, particularly heavy goods vehicles in residential areas.
"We realise there are limited funds, which is the idea behind getting things focused to a local level.
"We want to be constructive and have positive discussions with the council, which is why we are trying to make priorities for the area.
"The council should be optimising costs rather than minimising them so they get proper value for money."
The new association is the third in West Swindon, alongside the Shaw Residents' Association and Rodbourne Cheney Residents' Association.
"If there are issues where there is an overlap, such as the traffic on Mead Way from Ridgeway Farm, then having a number of residents' associations meetings you might get things moved along a little better," said Derek.
The association will meet at the Delta Centre in the first week in September. Any residents who wish to join and attend the meetings should contact Derek on 01793 872998.

My website is Wordpress-based, so I use the plugin "Social Network Auto Poster" to automatically submit my full post content to 4 blogs: Wordpress, Blogspot, Livejournal, Tumblr. Besides, I also manually submit these articles to some more blogs like Forexstreet.net, Quora, and some forums.
My question is:1. Does this harm the search engine optimization for my website?2. Does this prevent my website from being approved by Adsense if I apply to the program later on?
Thank you very much.
yup..dont use the same content on more then two websites and do every submission manually.
It is likely to harm your SEO because, unless you tell Google to only index one of the sites and to treat all links as though they are pointing to that one, all your links and googlejuice are being spread between the four sites, meaning that none of them will do as well as they could have done otherwise.
Why do you want to have four identical blogs on different platforms anyway?
Thank you Caris for the number.
Thank you Stevie.
The reason is that I want to attract real readers. Livejournal and Tumblr may not be very big. However, Wordpress and Blogspot are giant networks with easy interaction (comment, like...), so if I post my writings there (and I'm sure that the contents are very attractive), I can get back a lot of readers.
Could you please let me know what strategy I should use to benefit my website for the long term? I'm just a newbie in internet marketing.
Uniqueness of content is what is required in SEO now days. So in order to avoid content duplicacy you should submit your content/blog to only one site rather than posting it on 3-4 sites. You should update your blog on regular intervals and share it on social media channels to get more readers.
Thank you for your advice. I decide to keep articles of 300+ words only on my website for a strong SEO, while I will share some short posts (<100 words) on my Wordpress blog to attract organic readers.
Thank all of you.
Can I ask you guys pro a new question, yet also related to duplicate content? That's about article marketing.
After I write a fresh article, how many article directories can I submit it to (at the same time)? Do I need to spin the article a little bit before submitting?
Writing a high-quality article is not an easy and quick task. So I want to maximize the article use by posting it to ezinearticles, goarticle, hubpage, squidoo... I just don't know if this strategy is good or bad. Please let me know the truth.
Thank you.
I did this too for a stent back in the day. Then I realized like you that it is probably bad. So I dropped all the auto stuff and duplicate blogs to focus on one single blog. If you have alternate content to post on another type of blog or other then yes by all means do so. But posting the same thing over multiple places will do no further good and most likely be harmful to your seo efforts.
Hello FA, It's not very easy or complicated question for experts. On the other hand I'm not a such expert here but as I know, It may be harmful for main website to publish duplicate content. I mean which is already publish anywhere on the web. By the way we guys are posting same articles on 4-5 directories, yes taking risk of course.
I can not tell you about the Ad-sense Approval but i can tell you Duplicate Content will affect Negatively to your site.I also suggest don't use spun Content, as it is also consider as a Black Hat SEO techniques. Hope it Helps.
It'll not harm your website ; but try to use unique content per submission.Or, you can rewrite the contents 100% uniquely before each submission.Thanks
Thank you for your advice. I will certainly do so.
So you think we can submit an article (a freshly new one that has never been posted anywhere, including my website) to 4-5 directories? In this way, I think my website SEO will not get harmed because these articles are not posted on it :D, they are just distributed among article directories.
Thank you for your information. This is the first time I have learned that spinning is considered to be black hat.
Duplicated contents are not helpful in SEO. Google may either treat as one or criminal. It may think you're spamming (why would you post the same article to many sites anyway). Besides, spun articles can get penalized too.
you can do submit manually and don't use in duplicate content, If you write one content , so you will submit only one article site otherwise google is spamming in your content.you can post High PR SIte like Ezine Articles, go article and sooper article.
Thanks for your sincere help, Hamiltondist.
OK, so I will go with Ezinearticles, which is definitely the best of the best article directories.
In the future, I may have to hire some writers to compose unique contents for me. That seems to be the only legitimate way for SEO.

Causes of low blood pressure: Dehydration, bleeding, and inflammation
Conditions that reduce the volume of blood, reduce cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart), and medications are frequent reasons for low blood pressure.
- Dehydration is common among patients with prolonged nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive exercise which shunts blood away from the organs to the muscles. Large amounts of water are lost when vomiting and with diarrhea, especially if the person does not drink adequate amounts of fluid to replace the depleted water.
Other causes of dehydration include exercise, sweating, fever, and heat exhaustion, or heat stroke. Individuals with mild dehydration may experience only thirst and dry mouth. Moderate to severe dehydration may cause orthostatic hypotension (manifested by lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting upon standing). Prolonged and severe dehydration can lead to shock, kidney failure, confusion, acidosis (too much acid in the blood), coma, and even death.
- Moderate or severe bleeding can quickly deplete an individual's body of blood, leading to low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension. Bleeding can result from trauma, surgical complications, or from gastrointestinal abnormalities such as ulcers, tumors, or diverticulosis. Occasionally, the bleeding may be so severe and rapid (for example, bleeding from a ruptured aortic aneurysm) that it causes shock and death rapidly.
- Severe inflammation of organs inside the body such as acute pancreatitis can cause low blood pressure. In acute pancreatitis, fluid leaves the blood vessels to enter the inflamed tissues around the pancreas as well as the abdominal cavity, concentrating blood and reducing its volume.

The Rollens was created by the late Matthew Rollins as a teaching tool, to demonstrate the difference in potential performance when varying the focal distance and angle of a parabolic reflector. He developed a simple way of creating the reflector by fitting the top of a shallow plastic bucket with a mylar film, and then extracting some of the air within the bucket. The resultant air pressure on the film provides the parabolic profile. He has used smoke as a way to display the beam shape during the demonstration.
In his words, "The bucket was moved to different locations to demonstrate the various shapes of the beam from different angles to the target. The beam clearly demonstrates the 'inverse square law'. The energy bounced off the lens can be "tapped" at whatever distance suits the target. This is just as effective either in front or behind the actual focal point. The heat transfer to a can of water was most effective when the beam was spread. A number of experiments were carried out to examine the effects of different coloured target surfaces.
I also invented a shaped surface designed to capture some of the energy that is lost through secondary emission. The off set angle experiments showed how the mirror loses efficiency as the angles are increased and the aperture that the incoming energy has is reduced. One side benefit of many was that I have the design for a fixed focal point cooker that allows the pot to remain in one fixed spot while a super-lightweight reflector can be tracked round it to follow the sun. An 'inverse polar mount' is what it is."
With some background work provided by Rollins, there may be a new design direction that can be expanded upon, which incorporates a lightweight reflector that can easily change it's postion to the cooking pot for maximum efficiency.

Developers debate planned overpass for I-75
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:39 p.m.
The Alachua County Commission meeting Tuesday devolved into a debate between major developers over a planned overpass for Interstate 75.
Representatives for Celebration Pointe, the large, mixed-use development planned for construction off Archer Road near I-75, and Butler Enterprises, which manages Butler Plaza, stood before the dais and debated the details of the I-75 overpass.
During the lengthy conversation, representatives occasionally huddled with their peers to quickly, quietly discuss an issue before approaching the microphone.
County staff initially recommended the board vote to pursue further coordination with the city of Gainesville as it considers Butler Enterprises' proposed amendment to its comprehensive plan. The city will review it on Feb. 19.
The amendment would, among other things, remove language regarding Butler Enterprises' dedication of a right-of-way to the city related to the overpass, said Steve Lachnicht, the county's growth management director.
Staff suggested the commission approve a letter from Commissioner Mike Byerly, who was absent from Tuesday's meeting, to Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe requesting such coordination.
The overpass, which would connect the Butler Plaza and Celebration Pointe areas, would land near the plaza and include four vehicle lanes, a segment of the Archer Braid Trail and a dedicated transit lane. It would reduce congestion along Archer Road, Lachnicht said.
"It's one of the rare opportunities we have to make an improvement to the overall road network," he said.
Celebration Pointe has developed alternative plans to potentially place the overpass, also referred to as the Southwest 30th Avenue bridge during the meeting, at a different place near the plaza area.
Gerry Dedenbach, who works for Causseaux, Hewett and Walpole and represented Butler Enterprises at the meeting, said the proposed comprehensive plan amendment wouldn't impact Celebration Pointe's ability to place the bridge as currently planned.
It would remove related right-of-way language, because Butler Enterprises has such agreements already established with the city, and thus that wording is unnecessary, he said after the meeting.
If Celebration Pointe were to realign the bridge to land on nearby property, it would jeopardize Butler Enterprises' plans for a Regional Transit System transfer station, he said.
"And again, we don't care what they build," he said of Celebration Pointe. "We don't want them to upset what we've planned."
Jonathan Paul, of Nue Urban Concepts, who represented Celebration Pointe at the meeting, said the development would maintain the current plan for the bridge landing if Butler Enterprises made concessions regarding its dedication of the related right-of-way.
After a brief recess, both parties returned to the meeting with a compromise: Butler Enterprises would convey the right-of-way to the city for the bridge within 60 days of the issuance of a Florida Department of Transportation permit for its construction and of Celebration Pointe Partners posting a performance bond for the project.
The commission eventually approved a revised letter to Lowe informing him of this agreement, which included a couple of other stipulations.
The revised letter also requested city and county staff continue to coordinate on this infrastructure project.
The bridge's right-of-way remained a point of contention between the two developers as the commission concluded the discussion.
Paul, representing Celebration Pointe, said the current right-of-way of about 90 feet is too narrow to accommodate all the planned transportation lanes, while attorney David Theriaque, of the law firm Theriaque and Spain, said Butler Enterprises isn't willing to negotiate an expansion.
After the meeting, Dedenbach, representing Butler Enterprises, insisted Celebration Pointe could fit its necessary infrastructure within 90 feet, saying, "Celebration Pointe is trying to get us to accommodate their changed plans."

The global document storage (GDS) in LiveCycle ES is a directory used to store long-lived files such as PDF files used within a process or DSC deployment archives. Long-lived files are a critical part of the overall state of the LiveCycle ES environment. If some or all long-lived documents are lost or corrupted, the LiveCycle ES server may become unstable. Input documents for asynchronous job invocation are also stored in the GDS and must be available in order to process requests. Therefore, it is important that the GDS is stored on the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) and backed up regularly.
In general, it is not recommended to make any manual changes in the GDS directory as doing so can cause issues in your LiveCycle server leaving it in a unstable state. This information is provided as an explanation of the directories within the GDS only, and should not be seen as a guide to making changes.
The GDS can contain the following sub-folders:
1. audit – This folder is used to store 'Record and Playback' data when recording is activated through Workbench. 'Record and Playback' can be turned on/off at the orchestration (process) level. If you turn it on for a particular process, it will save data in the /audit folder for every invocation of the process.
Running load testing on processes with recording turned on is therefore not recommended as this can fill up your hard disk. You can purge the audit folder without consequences (apart from losing your process recordings). It is best to purge it by using Workbench to delete process recordings.
2. backup – This folder is used to store data related to using LC backup mode. The folder is managed by LC and should not be modified manually.
3. docmXXX… folders – These folders contain data and files related to long-lived processes. Do not manually modify the docm folders otherwise the GDS may get out-of-sync with the DB and you will have to restore from a backup.
Once the process instances are completed or terminated, you can clean them using the purge utility in the SDK, if it is Ok for your organization to clean archived process data. Once the completed/terminated process instances are purged using the purge utility, the related docm folders will also be cleaned by LC. This can be useful to control the disk usage of the LC server.
4. removeOn.XXX… folders – These folders contain data related to the running services in LC. They are managed by LC and cleaned automatically after document disposal timeout
5. sessionInvocation-adobews__XXX… – These folders are created by LC when performing document operations when the LC7 compatibility layer is installed. The remaining empty folders can be cleaned up manually even when the LC server is running without breaking any dependencies. This is important on some platforms like AIX where there is a kernal limit (~32,000) on the number of sub-folders in a folder. There is a patch available for LiveCycle ES2 to prevent these folders being created when the LC7 compatibility layer is installed. Contact enterprise support if you require this patch.
6. sessionJobManager-XXX – These folders are created by LC when using watched folders to perform document operations. They are managed by LC and should not be modified manually.

What is OPC in 2010? It is all about the tag
OPC Is Three Letters That Are a lot of Things to a lot of Different People, but What It Really Boils Down to Is Moving Data and the Tag
By Manny Mandrusiak, OPC Marketing, and Nathan Pocock, Director of the OPC Test Lab.
The title of this article is an extremely valid question for all readers looking for data connectivity? What is OPC in 2010? OPC is still the connectivity standard for Process Control, for ADI, a part of FDI and FDT and STILL the connectivity standard for manufacturing, and PLCs. OPC is a Unified Architecture, and OPC is an Express Interface.
OPC is three letters that are a lot of things to a lot of different people, but what it really boils down to is moving data and the Tag. Yes the Tag. Everything in OPC revolves around the Tag.
What is a Tag?
A tag is a single data-point. The Tag has a slightly different meaning in each OPC specification:
- Data Access: can represent an output coil on a PLC, or a memory register in a device etc providing real-time access to the data value, while providing a timestamp and Quality.
- Alarms & Conditions: the Tag represents an entity providing details of any conditions that raised an alarm event including location information and details of who has done what with the alarm.
- Historical Data Access: an extension of Data Access except now the information is historical instead of real-time and can be used to observe behavior trends for reporting etc.
Each OPC specification has taken the "Tag" to a whole new level of meaning. But does this trend continue with the newer OPC specifications and if so, how does that translate into benefits?
Breaking down the complexity
The problem with technology is that the simplest things are often over engineered and appear complex because of a passion for the engineering details. Life is complex enough, and architecting a future-facing communications platform has enough complexity in it without added clutter, but as mentioned earlier, no matter which specification you are using it is still all about the Tag! Whether you are Reading, Writing, Subscribing to, or browsing them. At this time it is prudent to break OPC technology down into the three implementations that consumers will identify with in 2010, which are: OPC Classic, OPC Express Interface (OPC Xi), and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
OPC Classic – The Golden Age of OPC
OPC Classic is a Client/Server technology based on Microsoft COM/DCOM. Born in 1996 the first OPC specification defined a common interface for plant systems to be able to exchange data without costly proprietary solutions being written. Now dubbed the "OPC Classic Data Access" specification, this revolutionized the manufacturing industry by enabling the transfer of a Tag's Value, Quality, and Timestamp in real-time!
The quick adoption of OPC DA led to the development of a plethora of OPC Classic Specifications including: OPC Historical Data Access (OPC HDA), OPC Alarms & Events (OPC A&E), and OPC Security, just to name a few.
Complete product lines emerged with a multitude Clients and Servers to provide robust connectivity between disparate systems, and different domains delivering on the promise of being able to implement "best of breed" products from different vendors with seamless interoperability. Products such as: Redundancy Brokers, Buffers, Tunnellers, Data Management Tools, Calculation Engines, Excel Tools and other interfaces were developed to provide Tags and OPC Products with even more abilities. A product such as a redundancy broker would provide a level of redundancy transparent to the OPC Client such that in the event of a communications failure where an OPC Server became unavailable, the redundancy broker would seemless switch to the secondary communication so that the values of the Tag can continue to be read by the client without interruption.
OPC Classic became the defacto standard for anyone looking to monitor and/or control their device and transferring it to their SCADA and/or higher plant level with Commercial off-the-shelf products.
Why an OPC Xi? – The move to .NET
Technology has never been known to stand still. As Microsoft migrated away from COM/DCOM communications in favor of WCF, so did the desire by vendors and end-users to do the same. OPC Xi was developed to help the aging OPC Classic move from the COM/DCOM platform and move towards WCF and.NET framework. End-users were looking for a connectivity solution that overcomes DCOM without the need for adding OPC products to their existing architecture. The Tag in Xi combines all of the abilities that each OPC Classic specification defined for a Tag.
OPC Xi provides users with the built-in ability to securely navigate a firewall without additional OPC products. Tag data can be accessed by using the OPC Xi specification as DA, HDA, and A&E, and can be accessed securely through a firewall with the built in WCF security bindings.
Who is the end-user that uses OPC Xi? OPC Xi is for the end-user who wants to develop OPC architectures in a strict Microsoft only environment, and where their needs are met using the same functionality offered by OPC Classic.
Key features of OPC Xi are:
- Client server data exchange
- Support for OPC DA, OPC HDA, and OPC A&E
- Secure real-time and historical data transfer
- Firewall Navigation
- Secure web service
OPC UA – The road to platform independence
OPC Unified Architecture is the next generation of OPC technology. OPC UA basically is "Tags on Steroids." It encompasses all of the functionality of all OPC Classic Specifications (OPC DA, OPC A&E, Commands, and Complex Data) and leaves room for additional functionality to be defined later. OPC UA is designed to be platform independent allowing UA to be also used in Non-Microsoft platforms enabling OPC (Servers and Clients) to be used/embedded in places/devices that were previously impossible. OPC UA will enable the lowest-level device to communicate directly with your enterprise level ERP system. OPC UA will provides end-users with scalable, and secure communications offering extremely high performance. The abstract design of the technology enables OPC UA to be used as the underlying implementation for which other protocols/standards can be based on, such as PLCOpen, BACnet, etc.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Heroic Effort – A Madison County Game Warden was traveling east on State Highway 30 in eastern Brazos County recently and as he neared the Navasota River he observed a vehicle on fire off in a field near the highway. A subject was walking around the van acting strange. The warden tried to talk him away from the van. The subject avoided the warden. The subject kept saying he was going to kill himself as he circled the burning van. The subject suddenly jumped into the burning van through the opened side door. The warden rushed to the open door, grabbed the subject's leg and pulled him from the burning van. The subject was suffering from severe burns to his head, chest, arms and legs. The warden was not injured.
On the Job
- Game Wardens caught a shrimper in Galveston Bay with his Turtle Excluder Device and his Bycatch Reduction Device tied shut. About 365 pounds of shrimp were confiscated and sold. The TED case was documented and will be turned over to the National Marine Fisheries Law Enforcement Division in Galveston.
- Jefferson and Orange County Game Wardens received a call about two boats shrimping in Texas before the season opened. The captains were arrested and 4,000 pounds of shrimp were confiscated and sold for $7,398.
- A Game Warden was patrolling the Rio Grande River and associated canals when he observed two males sneaking away from a canal where a vehicle was parked. After the dust had settled and the chase was over, he and the U.S. Border Patrol had captured three male suspects and confiscated 228 pounds of marijuana that was being backpacked in.
Broadcasting Your Crimes?
- A Franklin County Game Warden worked a case on a lady offering to sell an American alligator. The warden had received information that a Franklin County resident was advertising the alligator in the Thrifty Nickel newspaper. After a short conversation with the lady at her home, several cases were filed for possession and sale of the gator. She was attempting to sell it for $150.
- A Harris County Game Warden answered a complaint regarding illegal sale of raccoons in Northeast Houston. The suspect was advertising the sale of wild hog meat with signs on his van, but after inspecting his freezer it was discovered that he had hidden 17 processed raccoons. The suspect did not have a trapper's license and gave a written confession of the offense. Case pending.
Helping Hands – Garza County Game Warden Benjie Smith, along with the Post Masonic Lodge organized a Kidfish event in Post. Approximately 65 children from foster homes in the Lubbock area participated. The kids enjoyed a morning of fishing and a hot dog lunch. Other game wardens attending were Andy Carr, Brent Satsky, Mel Reed, Randy Bullard, Ted Davey and Captain Rick Gully.

After merging operations in 2008, Ensemble and Ensemble Devman of Arizona (formerly DevMan Company) continued to operate with slightly different names. Now, the company is united in name, becoming Ensemble Real Estate Solutions.
"Operating under two different names was causing confusion on who we are and what we do," said Bill Molloy, managing director of Ensemble Real Estate Solutions. "This change better reflects our service model as a full-service healthcare real estate solutions provider."
Ensemble Real Estate Solutions manages and services real estate assets for the healthcare industry, from concept and development through marketing, management and dispositions. It operates in Arizona, California and Nevada.
"With the medical industry going through so many changes, our clients depend on us to operate their facilities so they can concentrate on their practices and patients," Molloy said. "We understand the challenges in managing healthcare real estate assets and look after our clients' as if they are our own."
As more procedures move from hospitals to medical office buildings, Ensemble anticipates the future uses and structures of medical facilities. Those facilities may potentially require stricter life safety and fire codes and more flexible designs. These buildings will need to have the flexibility of space and floorplans to grow and accommodate larger uses such as imaging and ambulatory surgical centers.
The Phoenix-based company is the result of two healthcare real estate firms joining forces in 2008. Ensemble, established in 1989, brought its expertise in development, property management and asset management. DevMan Company, established in 1981, added its complementary medical office development resume and its brokerage services platform, resulting in a company offering a comprehensive range of real estate services.

Topic: It's not about the 'run' it's about the $$$ raised!
Hello Everyone-
It's been a while since i've posted , since August 2nd when my mom passed to be exact...... seems like a life time and then some.
Fundraising is in my blood....(from my Dad) and from the moment my mom was diagnosed with CC i knew that i wanted to help raise funds to fight this cancer. There was too much going on when mom was going through treatment and fighting..... A month after she passed the need to DO SOMETHING took hold.
I am tickled to have raised the amount that i have in such a short time! ($1595.00 in less than 1 week!!) but still hope to raise a LOT more!
People DO CARE, and even in these hard economic times, people GIVE! People don't give to causes, they give to PEOPLE WITH CAUSES. We all have a cause... SHARE IT. People care. (ok, i' ll get off my soap box now...)
Just wanted to share.... you can check my fundraising www. Lance said it was not about the Bike, well i agree, only swicth it to run... its about the $ raised ;-) And i hope to raise a lot!

Pilonidal Cysts: What Are the Risk Factors?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Pilonidal cysts arise at the base of the tailbone (coccyx) of the lower back, just above the natal cleft (the cleavage between the buttocks). Doctors sometimes use the term pilonidal disease to refer to the range of problems that can affect this area. In simple cases, a small, solitary cyst-like area containing fluid is present without evidence of infection. In other cases, the areas may become infected and filled with pus, creating a so-called pilonidal abscess. When the condition is particularly severe, the infection can spread, creating multiple abscesses and sinus tracts (abnormal paths of tissue destruction). The term "cyst," which is generally used in this case, is actually a misnomer since true cysts have a characteristic cellular lining that is lacking in the vast majority of cases of pilonidal disease.
Small pilonidal cysts may not cause any symptoms if they do not become infected. Symptoms and signs of a pilonidal cyst or abscess include swelling (a localized "bump" may be noticed), pain, and redness at the base of the spine. In the case of a pilonidal abscess, the pain and redness usually are greater, and fever may be present.
