- Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! Are you wearing green? Tyler tried to pass off turquoise as green today, so therefore, he was pinched.
- Today's Beauty Broadcast Express video involves a green product & a mini tutorial!
- Ate a bunch of fresh fruit earlier... there is nothing like juicy pineapple!
- Mom went to the dentist today (in my hometown- population 1,200 :) and she said everyone in the office knew the big news! Word travels fast- especially in a small town!

CONGRATULATIONS! i'm so happy and excited for you guys! you guys are amazing. i love your blog and videos! i can't wait to see your pregnancy updates!ReplyDelete
I teared up when I saw the video yesterday and again today with this blog expressing your gratitude. Emily, you are my favorite beauty guru not only because of your skill and love of makeup but because you are so authentic. Your inner light shines through in every video you make. And that Tyler! He's charming and funny! I wish you both the very best and now you will be amazing parents!ReplyDelete
Weekly vlogs would be super Emily! Can't wait to see your first pregnancy vlog. CongratsReplyDelete
Weekly vlogs would be super Emily! Can't wait to see your first pregnancy vlog. CongratsReplyDelete
I have been watching you since you were back in your little apartment, and I always wondered when you and Tyler would become parents - you will be so great at it! I am excited! I have a 6 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. I hope you feel comfortable sharing both the joy AND the difficulties, because parenting is definitely a challenge - and it always helps me when I can share with other parents going through the same things! Even the challenges are wonderful though, because you just adore that little person so very much. Congratulations to you both and best wishes for an easy pregnancy! :)ReplyDelete
I am so genuinely happy for you and Tyler, Emily. I will keep you in my prayers for an easy pregnancy, and delivery. Mine was a piece of cake........... worked until 530pm, delivered the next morning at 9am! Lot of love to you all, NatalieReplyDelete
I'm so happy for you Emily :) I'm 11 weeks & 2 days at the moment, so only a couple weeks behind you, just eagerly awaiting my first scan :DReplyDelete
Georgina :)
Congratulations guys! I'm so happy for you two, I cried a bit when I watched the video. This baby is the luckiest baby ever to have you as parents.ReplyDelete
I've never commented before but I had to say that your smiles on that video were SO big and SO completely genuine it really made my day. You have so much polish and are so put-together and reasonable, which I LOVE about your channel, but it was really fun to have this peek into your heart. Thank you for sharing, Emily, and I am in the crowd wishing you the absolute best.ReplyDelete
I am 4'11 and my hubs in 6'7. we have two babies together. So, in case you are the butt of jokes like I was, you will have nice tall children. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!!ReplyDelete

I wrote yesterday on your video that it was EPIC the way you announced it. I am just so happy for you both!!ReplyDelete
As far as posting, I think you should do an update from beginning to now, and then make a new video each week on your bump/progress, any updates, how you are feeling, how your life changes with every week, and just giving your POV on your progress. I love to watch progress videos on pregnancy, and I have never had a child (well, for now anyways).
Congratulations again!!!!
I honestly was so happy the first time I watched this video. You and Tyler are such amazing, kind people and I know you're going to be wonderful parents. You have always been a role model of mine! :)ReplyDelete
As far as baby vlogs?? The MORE the better! I especially love your vlogs, they always make me smile, so any baby vlogs would be great! I'm very curious how you told Tyler the news!!! That's the story I was waiting to hear in the announcement video. :D I would also love to see some "maternity-style" vlogs, aka how you dress to accommodate your growing bun in the oven :) I think that would be really fun!
Again, so happy for you guys, excuse my rambling, love you! <3
I am sooook happy for you! You guys will be incredible parents, and I hope you get to enjoy every minute of your pregnancy!!! I bet you will be a gorgeous,glowing pregnant lady!ReplyDelete
I've watched lots of pregnancy update videos from other Youtubers and my suggestion is to either do them every couple week or once every month cause I found that the weekly updates get boring cause not much has changed in the pregnancy. In the videos talk about the symptoms, cravings, updates from doctor's visits, baby hauls, show your belly bump, maybe even have tyler in some videos talking about his perspective on everything going on :)ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I saw the title of the video on the facebook link yesterday and I just KNEW it would be an announcement. For a minute there you did have me guessing, though. You did a great job with the suspense! Anyway, I watched the video again today because I wanted to see your joyful faces again! You're going to be amazing parents. Looking forward to the vlogs!!ReplyDelete
Such exciting news, congrats!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! Very exciting news!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I've been watching and reading along for a couple years now. It felt like one of my friends making the announcement! Hope the rest of the trimesters are as good as the first! Congrats again! Looking forward to hearing more!ReplyDelete
I think I commented this on your video but you and I have the same due date and I think that's so awesome. Congratulations to you and Tyler!!! It's so exciting!! It's also funny because I'm 5'3 and my boyfriend is 6'6 so I know the height difference jokes well myself. I'm sure a lot of people have already warned you you're gonna have a big baby? lolReplyDelete

I know a lot of people have said this, but I'm right there with them too...I got a bit teary eyed when I watched your video! Total cheeseball action I know but seriously you were the first YT guru I ever watched many years ago and after following you for so long you feel like one of my friends. I just adore you and your family and am beyond happy for you! I can't wait to see your #babybroadcast updates!! Much love and hugs!!ReplyDelete
Congrats, all the best!ReplyDelete
Congratulations to both of you! I wish you health and hapiness! You're going to be great and sweet parents! Love from Greece!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, this is indeed a wonderful new!ReplyDelete
So amazing! Congratulations! I can't wait to read about your baby journey!ReplyDelete

Hi Emily.. Congrats again to both of you.. You'll be an awesome mom.. Juicy pineapple sounds yummmm.. Are you having any cravings yet? And I hope you're making Tyler take care of all of cupcake's poo poo business.. I dunno if your doc already covered this but its safer that way for the baby.. (Sry for being too nosy.. Its my doc brain spinning..) You guys look lovely in the pic.. Sending loads of love to the baby.. Take care..ReplyDelete

I'm so excited! I don't even know you personally, but I just can't help but be so excited for y'all! Having my daughter is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me and my husband! She is such a little angel, and she amazes us everyday! The love and appreciation you feel for your child the first time you feel them move or when you see them for the first time just cannot be topped!ReplyDelete
Congratulations to you and Tyler!!!! Wonderful news!! Can't wait to go along on this journey with you through your updates!ReplyDelete
I loved the way you did this video to share the news. Priceless!!!ReplyDelete
I watched your video this morning and felt just as excited for you as if you were really one of my Besties! I hope everything goes smoothly for you and Tyler! Congrats on the little Nugget!ReplyDelete
I am so happy for you and tyler! Both of you are going to be an awesome parents. Love you emily!ReplyDelete
I actually cried when I saw the video, I am so happy for you guys, congratulations ! I'v been following Beauty Broadcast since 2011, and I can remember every single moment ^^ This is really amazing, I am so so happy for you Emily, words can't even express my hapiness for you <3ReplyDelete
Much love from France :)
I would love to hear about every step of your pregnancy! I just love all of your videos :) If you plan to find out the gender, you should record yours and Tylers reactions in the sonogram room! If the tech will allow it, of course! Can't wait for more updates!ReplyDelete
Congrats to you guys again. We're very happy for your family. Can't wait to meet the little bundle.ReplyDelete
I am so happy for you and Tyler! :) Hope you have a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby! And please do pregnancy updates/vlogs as you can. I'd love to hear about all of the things you mentioned! :PReplyDelete
I am so excited and happy for you and Tyler! I have been watching for a long time and am looking forward to seeing your pregnancy vlogs. I would be interested in hearing about all of the things you mentioned!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Emily! I will watch every video update and read every blog update. I just know that you and Tyler are going to be wonderful parents. This is such exciting news. Good luck with everything.ReplyDelete
OMG that made ME cry! So happy for you both! As a Mom of 4 you are about to start the BEST chapter ever!ReplyDelete
I think more blogs the better. I don't know how you feel about sharing but would love a blog of when you find out the sex of the baby. Before you go in and after.. The family reaction.ReplyDelete
Congrats again!!! I knew from the title of your video, it made my day! I'm so happy for you both!ReplyDelete
Yes please! Do weekly or bi-weekly pregnancy video updates. Maybe you can also document and include small clips or photos of things that happened that week (food cravings, maternity clothes/outfits/shopping, Dr appointments, thoughts/emotions/reactions, etc) and you will be able to look back at these memories later ;) Any names you and Tyler like so far if it's a girl or a boy?
Congrats Emily and Tyler!!!! Was so happy to hear your news! You will be awesome parents. Can't wait for more updates on your little treasure. XOReplyDelete
Congratulations again. A pregnancy clothing style update would be nice. Craving would be funny... baby hauls too!ReplyDelete
So happy for you both!ReplyDelete
Congratulations!!! So happy for you and Tyler. You guys will be wonderful parents. I have two kids myself and I can honestly say that there is nothing in the world like becoming a parent. So so excited!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.ReplyDelete
Ooh, congratulations, Emily and Tyler! That's great news!ReplyDelete
It's been 20+ years since I had my children but what I do remember from way back then is the morning sickness (ugh), the must have afternoon naps in the first and the last trimesters and the cravings....strawberries, corn on the cob, wendy's frosty and believe it or not kfc mashed potatoes and gravy cuz there were some days I couldnt tolerate textures in foods...oh oh oh and smells...all of sudden smells could be so overwhelming...i couldnt walk down the detergent section of a grocery store...everything was so strong in smell...at the end of all *that* I got my bundles of joy so no complaintsReplyDelete
Watched your announcement video as soon as it went live (I tried to contain my excitement but couldn't wait any longer) and I am BEYOND EXCITED for you guys!!! You two are going to be the greatest parents and I am thrilled that you are sharing your journey to becoming parents with us!! We love you guys so much and I can't wait to see #babybroadcast :)ReplyDelete
Soooooo excited for you Emily and Tyler! You're going to so enjoy parenthood. I'm just eight months ahead of you ... what a lucky baby :) May God continue to bless you all, and Cupcake too!ReplyDelete
OMG. CONGRATS! You guys will be wonderful parents (:ReplyDelete
I'm so happy for you. I'm due with my first in October, so I am right behind you.ReplyDelete
CONGRATS! I smiled SO big when I watched that video yesterday. I am so happy and excited for you both :)ReplyDelete
Ahh I was so excited when i watched the video i called my fiance in to make him watch your cute reveal! So excited and happy for not only the two of you but your family as a whole. A new baby is always such an exciting time!ReplyDelete
Omg, BabyBroadcast!! Yes, PLEASE make that the title for your vlog updates!!! And I would LOVE to have you and your mom reenact it!! Yes! All of it! Everything! Update as often as you can stand it!! Hahaha <3ReplyDelete
It was a little crazy how happy I was after watching your video! A well deserving couple like you two are going to be great parents! Congrats :)ReplyDelete
I would love to hear your symptoms and cravings! This is so exciting!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy for you guys! You two will be amazing parents! Can't wait to hear more!ReplyDelete
oh my god congratulations!!!! how exciting!!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations both of you~~~ =) #fromMalaysiaReplyDelete
I don't know about everyone else, but I'd like to see vlogs as often as you want to post them! I kinda wish you guys would start doing daily vlogs :D Congrats, and much love to you, Tyler, The Bun, and Cupcake!ReplyDelete
Congrats to you both!ReplyDelete
CONGRATS!!!!! How exciting!!!!!ReplyDelete
Weekly vlogs would be amazing, if you're up for doing them that often! You could incorporate the new fruit size comparison in each video, as well :) I'm so anxious to see your pregnancy progress and how (if at all) you are having to change up your routines or things you use due to the pregnancy.ReplyDelete
Congratulations again on the wonderful news! Sending warm wishes your guys' way.
Bad news for my hubby, though. Because I've got the baby fever bad now!!!! Hahaha :)
A big question I have is if you both have thought about or discussed the baby being broadcast on your channel or social media after it is born?ReplyDelete
I know we are ALREADY all dying to see him/her but do you think that would be something too private to openly share?
Also. What gender do both of you want?!?!?
Brilliant news and congratulations, Emily! Big hug!ReplyDelete
Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you and Tyler and the new chapter that you both will enter!ReplyDelete
Des | Simple Charm Beauty
So happy for u guys. As I said on Youtube being a mom has been the best experience of my life and my daughter is the best person I know. My only advice ( cuz u and Tyler is going to be awesome parents) just enjoy every single second. It truly goes by so fast. My daughter is now 14 and time flew right by.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to you both! That is so very exciting!! I cannot wait to hear more information and watch your vlogs! Hope you are feeling well too! :DReplyDelete
Congratulations!!!! Yes to all the questions you asked about what to share....LOL!! He/She is going to be one loved baby by y'all (yes, I am a East Texas girl) (it stands for you all)(LOL) and all of your beauty broadcast family too!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations a million times over. Becoming a mum has been the most magical experience of my life. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be for you two with your adoring families to guide you along the way. You know the scene in the Wizard Of Oz where the colour finally comes on? That's what parenting does for you. Congrats also to all the aunts and uncles to be on both sides of the family including the Gehm's :)ReplyDelete
I am extremely happy for you two and wish you the very best in this new journey! I was so happy to hear your news I almost woke my 11 year old daughter at 2 am to let her know! (She is also a big fan of yours!) As part of your audience I feel very privileged to get a peek into your lives and truly enjoy your videos so as far as pregnancy vlogs go, anything you are comfortable sharing with us will be wonderful I am sure!! Thank you again for sharing such wonderful news with us and I look forward to reading/watching your progress anecdotes! Again, congratulations and blessings to your wonderful family Emily! :)ReplyDelete
Congratulations!!! I'm 37 years old with a 16 year old girl and a 1 year old boy!!! Motherhood is the biggest learning experience in a woman's life. It's tiresome, crazy, happy, sad and AWESOME!ReplyDelete
Congrats!!! I'm currently 28wks with my first(:ReplyDelete
It's an experience like no other.
As for pregnancy vlogs I think you should do one a week. (If there's noticeable changes in cravings, symptoms, baby bump, etc. if not skip a week if wanted)
This is a journey I'm sure we'd all love to go on with you!
Can't wait to see what you do with the vlogs!!!!
Congratulations Emily and Tyler! You're going to be the best parents in the world. And hey, me and my husband have the same difference in the height, our first dance on the wedding day looked very funny. I'm also thinking about a baby in the future so i can't wait to see your v-logs. Best Wishes!ReplyDelete
Want to share a funny "during the pregnancy" story. Sorry if the english is not correct. The doctor made an ultrasound. In the beginning of the pregnancy they do it internally using a transducer. For hygiene purposes they put on kind of a "condom". The check-up went fine and my baby (now 1 1/2 years old) was perfect. Later the same day at work the phone rang. It was the doctor saying: This might seem strange but I think I forgot a "condom" inside of you! Could you check that out. Otherwise your husband might be suspicous." Well after some "investigation" I found it and the problem was solved. My husband and I laughed soooo much!ReplyDelete
Congratulations!! I really enjoyed your video and also got so emotional seeing you guys and the picture of that little person. I am 2 weeks ahead of you and my estimated due date is September 5th.ReplyDelete
I'm so looking forward to the #babybroadcast update vlogs and especially how you are feeling and what changes you recognize about your body or what you are shopping for the baby and how you want to organize everything.
Best wishes from far far away Germany,
Congratulations! My oldest was born on September 17th, its a good day. :) (Not that you will actually give birth on your due date but hey you never know lol)ReplyDelete
SOOOOOO happy for you, Tyler and Baker! I can't wait to see your pregnancy updates, Em!ReplyDelete
Im so happy for you guys!!I have watched you from the very beginning and you have always inspired me at how far you have come since those first videos..I cant wait for your pregnancy updates maybe every other week you could cover symptoms and doc apts and of course the gender and name reveal..Prayers going your way for happy healthy baby and mommy..Im due in October!!ReplyDelete

Congrats Emily! :) I'm due just a few weeks before you with our first too! I look forward to hearing your experiences and beauty routine changes, and just fun fact, out the bloggers I read daily, you're the 3rd one to annouce a pregnancy, how cool!ReplyDelete
I am just SO excited for you, Emily! I look forward to any little nuggets you want to share with us about your pregnancy experience! Much love from Texas! xoxoReplyDelete
Congrats and all the best!!!ReplyDelete
OMG!!! Congrats you guys, I love you and I'm so happy for you!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Sweetheart!!! I am so HAPPY for the both of you!!! What a beautiful blessing!! Becoming a parent will be a forever changing experience and one that will bring many moments of courage, strength, endurance, love, care, and sacrifice. Many of which, that you will never regret, but will know as the years go by. Being a parent of 3 myself, I have always treasured the moments of teaching them about the world in being kind/loving towards others, helping others, always do your best, and always be honest. When you see your child take what you have taught them then that is such a rewarding moment full of love and appreciation. May God Bless your new arrival and you both as new parents! Remember not every parent is perfect, we try our best sometimes making mistakes, but doing it with much love and sacrifice. Always know that you know your child best and listen to that feeling when something is right or if something is wrong, your intuition will play a big part as the years go by......take lots of pictures of the first moments/experiences, these will be fun to look back on and write them down too!! I am so excited for you, Emily!!! You will be a great mother !!God Bless you both!!ReplyDelete
Congrats Emily & Tyler! You have the prettiest pregnancy glow that no highlighter can mimic.ReplyDelete
Hi Emily and Tyler...felicitaciones!!!! I am Alicia, my husband Silviu and little Isabella know you both because since I came to USA I became obsessed with your make up videos, annual winners, tricks..you call it...I consider u and cupcake (and Tyler of course) as part of the family, I even use your videos when I am home alone to feel someone is talking to me, yeah, crazy..but true. And it is funny because now when we go out for shopping my husband says: and today tell me what Emily wants you to try on??? jejejej good for you guys, all the love and the most wonderful blessings for your beautiful child...maybe a little princess coming? we will see and all your viewers will be more than happy to be with you through this wonderful time in your lives. God bless u.ReplyDelete
I am so excited for you both, i have been a long time viewer and when i saw the video i absolutely geeked out! you are one of my favorite youtubers and it was always a question i had in the back of my mind, and to follow you for so long, it was just so special. congratulations and the best to you three, remember no litter box duty!! love you both, Dez, from Brooklyn, NY.ReplyDelete
Hi Emily. .I know I left a comment for you on youtube but I'm leaving one here too. . I'm so excited and happy for you both! ! I am also pregnant, and due on Sept 17..I think that is so cool, I can follow your pregnancy as I go through mine. You guys will be amazing parents (; yae!! Congrats! !!ReplyDelete
Hi Emily!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to hear the news! I have been following your videos for a while but this is the first time I actually post something to you. You are so down-to-earth and even after all these years, you haven't left aside drugstore and budget-friendlier options for makeup. Love it!
Just recently I have gone through my 1st pregnancy and I totally understand if you need to slow down or even take a break! The love and support of your true fans will be right here, waiting for you.
Actually, my baby girl is now 9mo and you provide me a little of that much needed "me" time when I get to stop and watch one of your videos. And for that, I give you many thanks :)
One thing I have to share that was and still is so valuable: Babycenter. Their videos and information on baby development are amazing!
I am sending you and all your family all positive and wonderful wishes!
Maira from FL
Happy Happy news Congratulations!!! hoping to catch up with the video soon!!ReplyDelete

Congratulations Emily and Tyler! So excited for you guys! You will be an amazing mommy!ReplyDelete
Watching your announcement video made my day! I am SO happy for you and Tyler. The two of you seem like such an amazing couple, and I know you will be great parents. Congratulations!!!!ReplyDelete
Congrats to you Tyler, Emily, and Cupcake! I was 30 when I had my baby (only had the one:), and she was born in September, so I feel a "kinship" with you:) I didn't have alot of morning sickness, as long as I ate a little something every couple of hours I did just fine. One other thing I wanted to say. I was at the Estee Lauder makeup counter and the lady offered me a job! I have you and a couple of other channels I watch to thank for this! The real kicker is this..I am 54 y/o lol, and to be offered a job doing what I would love to do was such a nice compliment, even though I could not consider it as I live 100 miles away, it was still so nice and a HUGE thankyou goes out to you as I have learned sooomuch from you!! Congrats again Emily you will all make terrific parents!ReplyDelete
Congratulations Emily! You and Tyler will make awesome parents! I honestly feel as if a close friend or family member is pregnant, and I wish you the best of luck. Also can't believe you were able to keep this a secret, very sneaky... haha!ReplyDelete
I'll add my congratulations to all the ones you've received!ReplyDelete
If you get the baking bug, here's a darling gender reveal cake you or a friend could try:
The ENTIRE time I was pregnant with my daughter I craved pineapple, regardless of what form it was in. When it was time to pick a paint color, we decided on "Splenda yellow". We must've looked at 20+ shades of yellow . The one we ultimately chose was called "Pineapple Twist". How funny is that?!? I can't wait for you to experience all the joy that comes with this incredibly important job :)ReplyDelete
AHH!! CONGRATULATIONS EMILY AND TYLER AND MISS CUPCAKE!! <333ReplyDelete
Hi Emily,ReplyDelete
I really enjoy your channels and your blog.
Not to freak you out, but i wanted to mention that in our culture it it said that a pregnant lady shouldn't eat pineapples or papayas.. Im not sure how superstitious you are, but thought u should know. (Years ago, my mom had a miscarriage and she used to eat a lot of pineapples during that time.)
Wish u guys all the very best!
So happy for you guy's! ♥ Having a baby is exciting! I can't wait to see what he/she looks like! I bet he/she will have dark hair! Hehehe So cute! Good luck with the pregnancy Emily! Hopefully yours is smooth..Mine was!!!(:ReplyDelete
Aww, you two are going to be fantastic parents. My daughter was due September 17 but she waited until September 29 to make her entrance into the world. My baby girl will be 25 this year. Time goes by fast, enjoy every moment. Congratulations!!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! My little girl is 2 and I still remember how excited I was when we found out. I took 5 tests before I made an OB appointment. What to Expect when You're Expecting has an amazing app that similar to the ticker you mentioned tells you the size of your baby, but it also tells you interesting facts about what systems are developing and milestones that your unborn baby is achieving.ReplyDelete

Nick Smith, the middle-aged proprietor of a roadside restaurant, hires drifter Frank Chambers as a handyman. Frank eventually begins an affair with Nick's beautiful wife Cora, who talks Frank into helping her kill Nick, by "accident." But the best laid plans......
Sassy Lana Turner and drifter John Garfield fall in love and plot to bump off her dull-as-ditchwater husband in smouldering film noir style. First they wire up his bath and then when that fails, they opt for the old car-pushed-off-the-cliff lark.
The film skilfully exploits the ambiguous moral subtext as the protagonists wrestle with their consciences and a brooding mutual mistrust. A dark, menacing atmosphere and a powerful denouement make this a triumph of plot-driven narrative and sparky dialogue.
Both leads excell at showing a true feeling (be it love or lust) but both covered in the guilty angst that one will betray the other. Edge of your seat stuff.
A good adaptation from the James M. Cain novel.

I created an incoming vpn connection on a win 7 machine at my office.
I went to a satellite location and connected a machine to the vpn. It was magical, all my drives mapped, I was affected by all of the GPOs, etc.
I went to the next machine to allow another user to connect and I got the "Another machine is using this kind of connection" error.
At fist I thought it would only allow one user per public IP. But I had a user at his house unable to connect when a different user was connected at the satellite office.
This leads me to believe that I have it set up to only allow one connection at a time. Anyone have any ideas? It is all xp machines vpning to a win 7 machine. Please dont tell me to go install routing and remote services because I just dont have the time to go through the headache of having that work correctly.

Windows 7 only allows one incoming VPN connection. You would need to upgrade to the server level.

Even if you went to server 2003 you have to go at least to standard edition to get up to 1000 connects and enterprise to get unlimited.

Yup agree with jay.

This may not be what you want to hear either but it works beautifully. Setup OpenVPN on Ubuntu (or your favorite version of linux). It's all open source and the only initial cost is your time and the hardware (I had an old pc laying around). If you're not a linux guru (I'm not either) don't worry. There are lots of sites (Ubuntu's among them) that detail the process.
There is one caveat, OpenVPN allows only 2 connections at a time without paying a license fee. $5/per connection (& the 2 free ones are lost when you pay, so 3 connections would cost you $15).
For our purposes, 2 are more than enough.
Nov 18, 2010 at 8:50 UTC
You could try a linux pptp connection if you need it on the cheap or go with a different type of VPN like openVPN.
Nov 18, 2010 at 8:55 UTC

It is a desktop OS, not a server. What do you expect????
Nov 18, 2010 at 9:27 UTC
As long as you have a server with Windows 2003 Standard or better you should be able to set this up there. If you are using GPO's on a domain I would think you have at least one capable system.

Ribeiro Brings Brazil Home
Andre Ribeiro won his second Indy Car career race today. His first win was in New Hampshire. His second win was much more sweet at home, in Brazil.
The reported 100,000 raging Brazilian fans failed to show up. With seats for 80,000, an estimated 60,000 paid, but highly ecstatic fans watched this highly contested race.
Ribeiro crossed the line well ahead of a frantic battle for third place involving Al Unser, Jr., Scott Pruett, Alex Zanardi, Christian Fittipaldi, Bobby Rahal and Raul Boesel. Robby Gordon had been involved in this battle, but after contact with the wall, and bringing out the last yellow, was out of the picture when it counted.
The Emerson Fittipaldi Speedway offered nothing less than a huge challenge to the IndyCar drivers. The track was unusually bumpy, and resembled a left-turned road course more than the traditional, American oval.
This was the most difficult race I have ever had," said Ribeiro. "There were a lot of good, fast guys out there and it was very hard to overtake. You had to concentrate all the time as this track is very technical. The best racing drivers have to control their emotions, but it was very tough to do so today. During the last yellow I could see the grandstands and everyone cheering and I was shaking. I kept talking to the pits trying to stay calm."
Robby Gordon, claiming to have seen a Brazilian god, had this comment after his crash, late in the race: "No motor," said Gordon. "So I was going in really, really deep under braking to keep up. Every corner for the whole race we went in until I saw God, then I hit the brakes. It finally just got away from me."
Pruett got a good run on Unser into Turn Four on Lap 129 but couldn't make it stick. Zanardi, however, was flying, having moved past Boesel before Gordon's crash. He smoked Rahal on the restart then passed Fittipaldi into turn four and set sail for Pruett. He caught the Patrick Lola exiting Turn four on the final lap but, despite Zanardi's NASCAR bump draft - banging his nose into Pruett's left rear tire - he fell a foot short of his first podium finish.
Mark Blundell, who slashed into the dirt on the approach to turn four and slammed almost head-on into the wall in a horrific crash from which he was indeed lucky to escape with nothing more serious than a broken bone in his right foot said to have lost his brakes.
"I lost brakes going into Turn Four," said a shaken Blundell. "I pushed the brake pedal all the way to the floor and got nothing. We won't know exactly what happened with the brakes until later, but all I know is I didn't have any.
"When I realized I didn't have any brakes I looked to turn into the infield hoping that would send me into a spin because I knew I was carrying too much speed and that it would be a hard hit. Obviously we went straight into the wall at full speed.
"I want to say that I have nothing but complements to Reynard for the strength of their chassis. I think under the circumstances I made out quite well for a crash with such a heavy impact."
Ironically, Blundell's PacWest teammate Mauricio Gugelmin also dropped out with brake problems after the hub holding the brake rotor failed.
Andre Ribeiro offered these post-race comments: "This is the first time everyone - my family, friends, sponsors and the people working with me - have all been together for a race," said Ribeiro. "So I cannot say how much this win means to me with them present. And to win here in Brazil is incredible.
"The people here did a fantastic job to make this event happen, and I think they should be very proud. Indy Car racing, for sure, is going to be one of the biggest events in Brazil."

This morning my little 500mW 10m WSPR-AXE-CW beacon was copied in Australia by VK6JI (14439km) at 1026z at -26dB S/N. I thoroughly recommend this tiny single PCB WSPR unit that needs no PC. It fits in an Altoids mint tin. This is F2 propagation.
Yet again, I am also trying 6m WSPR with 1W ERP, but so far with no luck again. I am ever hopeful!
UPDATE 1615z: Still an absolute blank on 6m WSPR. Will remain on for a few more hours.
UPDATE 1704z: ND6M (6914km) currently spotting me on 10m. Pretty sure he will not be the last USA station to spot my 500mW.
UPDATE 1854z: W3CSW (5886km) was spotting me at 1844z. Even he may not be the last this evening. Conditions are good still this evening on 10m WSPR.
UPDATE 1912z: W3CSW (5886km) does appear to be the last USA station to copy me from the USA. No more spots since 1844z.
12 Dec 2014

Hypertension (HTN) is the most common co-morbidity in the world, and its sequelae, heart failure (HF) is one of most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Current understanding of pathophysiology and management of HTN in HF is mainly based on studies, which have mainly included whites. Among racial groups, African-American adults have the highest rates (44%) of hypertension in the world and are more resistant to treatment. There is an emerging consensus on the significance of racial disparities in the pathophysiology and treatment options of hypertension and heart failure. However, African Americans had been underrepresented in all the trials until the initiation of the A-HEFT trial. Since the recognition of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as an important medical condition, large clinical trials have shown benefits of OSA treatment among patients with HTN and HF. This paper focuses on the pathophysiology, causes of secondary hypertension, and treatment of hypertension among African-American patients with heart failure. There is increasing need for randomized clinical trials testing innovative treatment options for African-American patients.
Hypertension (HTN) is the most common comorbidity in the world with significant public health implications [1, 2]. The overall U.S. prevalence of hypertension among adults ages ≥18 years in 2005–2008 was 30.9% and was highest among persons ages ≥65 years (69.7%) [3] and non-Hispanic blacks (44%) [4]. The American Heart Association estimates that the incurred costs of hypertension are more than $93.5billion per year, and that cardiovascular disease and stroke for which HTN is the predominant risk factor, account for 17% of the total annual health expenditures in the United States [5].
Hypertension and its sequelae, heart failure (HF) [6], are a progressive disease. Evidence shows that less than half of patients with heart failure survive five years (after diagnosis), and less than a quarter of them live ten years after their initial diagnosis [7]. The incidence is about 550,000 each year in the United States. Framingham Heart Study showed that hypertensive patients were more likely to develop heart failure (142 cases of HF detected during the first 16 years of followup) than those who were normotensive [8]. The lifetime risk for development of HF among people with blood pressure (BP) >160/90mmHg is double that of those with BP <140/90mmHg. Heart failure in comparison to the most prevalent gender malignancies (bowel cancer in men and breast cancer in women), was associated with worse long-term survival [9]. In addition to poor prognosis, the socioeconomic burden is enormous. Over a million hospitalizations, contributing to more than 250,000 deaths [4], and escalating billions of dollars in health care expenditure is the norm [10].
The disastrous duo, HTN and HF, should be recognized, and a tailored focus on management in special populations, high-risk ethnic minority groups especially blacks who are disproportionately burdened should be developed. Among racial groups, African-American adults have the highest rates (44%) of hypertension in the world [4] and are more resistant [11] to treatment. In particular, black women have the highest prevalence [4] and the lowest blood pressure control [12]. The relative incidence of HF is 50% higher in African Americans, 3% of whom have HF, compared with 2% of the general population [13, 14]. Incident HF is substantially more common among black than nonblack hypertensive patients [15]. The disease occurs at an earlier age, and usually at a more advanced stage [10] along with increased hospitalization [16] and mortality.
Hypertension is one of the most common causes of HF. Other causes of HF include coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiomyopathies. HF can result from systolic, diastolic or combined left ventricular dysfunction [17]. Overt clinical HF resulting from diastolic left ventricular dysfunction may be clinically indistinguishable from that resulting from systolic dysfunction. HF with preserved left ventricular function is observed in 30% to 50% of adult cases of HF. Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction is a principal cause of systolic left ventricular dysfunction followed by hypertension. A variety of neurohormonal systems, especially the renin-angiotensin aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems are activated in response to the left ventricular dysfunction and such activation leads to abnormal ventricular remodeling. The inexorable progression to more severe stages of left ventricular dysfunction can be significantly reduced by effective therapy with neurohormonal blockade including Angiotensin Converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), Beta Blockers (BBs), and aldosterone antagonists [18].
Current understanding of the pathophysiology of HF has revolved around neurohormonal activation [19, 20]. Evidence suggests that abnormal endothelial function may contribute to abnormal blood pressure responses. This endothelial dysfunction may result from insufficient nitric oxide (NO) secondary to either reduced endothelial production of NO or to increase NO inactivation [17, 19, 21]. In HF, a pronounced increase in angiotensin II, with modestly reduced NO is seen among whites. However, African Americans with HF may exhibit greater NO reduction; conversely, angiotensin II might be less elevated among whites.
Important studies are investigating gene variation among the races that may influence the risk of developing hypertension and its complications, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes encoding for β1-adrenergic receptors and a2c-adrenergic receptors. African Americans who are homozygous for polymorphisms in both the β1-adrenergic and a2c-adrenergic receptor genes are at a 10-fold greater risk for heart failure, which is overexpressed in African-Americans [22]. Groups with overexpression of transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β1), a cytokine involved in cardiac fibrosis and remodeling, vascular and renal disease, production of the vasoconstrictor, endothelin-1, and stimulation of renin release, have a worse prognosis. Other genetic polymorphisms in African Americans that may influence heart failure risk include elevated production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, aldosterone synthase, and the G protein 825-T allele [14].
There are two major approaches to classifying the patient's HF stage or clinical severity. The most common is the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, mainly based on functional capacity and subjective level of symptoms severity. This scheme is fluid and its class fluctuates in the same patient depending on their subjective assessment and clinical status. The other approach, adopted by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines, emphasizes disease progression. Classified as stages A, B, C, and D, each of these stages has definable characteristics and recommended interventions. To emphasize the progressive nature of HF and the need to prevent its development or progression to end-stage disease (stage D) [18, 23], this scheme is unidirectional. Patients can only progress toward worsened disease severity.
Current HF guidelines define patients in stage A as those at increased risk for HF without evidence of structural heart disease or symptoms of HF [18]. Stage A represents a critically important group because many of the risk factors including hypertension can be effectively controlled and by doing so may prevent development of cardiovascular diseases including HF. Patients are in stage B when they present with evidence of structural heart disease but without current or prior symptoms of HF. Stage C is recognized by the presence of structural heart disease and current or prior symptoms of HF. Stage D patients are those who have refractory heart failure requiring frequent hospitalization and specialized interventions. They are symptomatic at rest despite maximally tolerated medical and device therapy.
Several studies have shown the efficacy of treatment of hypertension in preventing HF [24–27]. Treatment of hypertension reduces the incidence of HF by about 50%. In recent years, significant advances have been made in increasing awareness, treatment, and control of blood pressure. Several large, randomized clinical trials have shown that specific classes of medication have mortality benefit in patients with heart failure [28–34].
In the most recent guidelines [18] for the diagnosis and management of HF in adults, the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF)/American Heart Association (AHA) recognized the need for specific recommendations for special population. Our review expounds on the specific concerns in Blacks.
Lifestyle modifications have been shown to reduce blood pressure, increase drug efficacy, and decrease cardiovascular risk. Long-term primary prevention of hypertension includes weight reduction in overweight/obese individuals. Weight loss intervention was associated with a 21% reduction in the incidence of hypertension over a 36-month period [35]. Dietary practices, reducing intake of dietary sodium to <1.5g NaCl [3, 36], low potassium, magnesium, and saturated fat intake, increased calcium intake [37], decreased consumption of alcohol, have demonstrated greater BP reduction in blacks [38]. These practices are most successful when reinforced with comprehensive education and counseling [39, 40]. Exercise training, regular aerobic physical activity for at least 30 minutes per day most days [41], has been shown to reduce recurrent cardiac events in patients with LV dysfunction from ischemic heart disease and is recommended under close medical supervision [42]. Culturally cognizant and sensitive modalities should be implemented to help guide improved compliance of therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) in special populations [43, 44].
Despite lifestyle modifications, most patients with hypertension need pharmacologic therapy for better BP control. In the United States, about 44 million patients are on antihypertensive medications [45].
Pharmacological treatment of hypertension before development of structural heart disease or symptoms of HF is mainly based on studies looking at prevention of end-organ damage. Specific classes of medication are recommended for patients in stages B-D that have shown benefit in reducing mortality and number of hospitalizations. The reader should refer to the major guidelines for full treatment recommendations of HF in the general population [18, 23, 46].
There are multiple large trials for HF therapy including management of HTN. However, ethnic minorities who are at greater risk for developing HF remain underrepresented in most clinical trials. According to a recent paper by Mitchell et al. "Treatment of HF in African Americans—A call to Action", most of the available evidence is based on limited representation of African Americans in these trials or posthoc analysis of limited evidence [46]. These papers once again summarize the available evidence in HF management in African Americans and call for more therapeutic trial focused in these high-risk population. The African American Heart Failure Trial (A-HEFT) was the first heart failure large trial to focus specifically on the African-American population and evidence represented approximately 50% of all African Americans ever studied in heart failure trials [47]. This is randomized placebo-controlled double blind study of fixed dose isosorbide dinitrate/hydralazine (ISBD/HYD) (Figure 2).
In an effort to summarize efficacy of available treatments, Psaty et al. conducted a meta-analysis of all trials through 2002 [48]. The database included 192,478 patients from 42 trials randomized to 7 treatment strategies including placebo. Low-dose diuretics proved the most effective first-line treatment for preventing cardiovascular disease and mortality including HF. The ALLHAT trial showed that diuretics are as effective as calcium channel blockers or ACEI in preventing cardiovascular disease outcomes including HF. The ALLHAT study also has suggested that thiazide-diuretic therapy is useful in preventing disease progression [49]. Although, ALLHAT trials and other trials showed diuretics is the first-line of antihypertensive therapy and is still the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications, this is challenged by recent studies as published in February JACC and presented in the European Society of HTN meetings. However, the diuretics used in the ALLHAT trials was chlorthalidone a long acting thiazide (shown to effectively lower BP and improve survival), not really the same as hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) which is the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive thiazide at a dose of 12.5–25mg. Messerli et al. (St Luke Roosevelt Hospital, New York, NY), published the analysis of 18 trials on HCTZ where the antihypertensive effect of HCTZ at the dose that is most often used—12.5 to 25mg a day—is consistently inferior to that of most other antihypertensive drug [50]. The other limitation of diuretics as first line therapy in African Americans is not only not adequate but also, has multiple side effects like DM, electrolyte abnormalities and urecemia, to mention a few. However, there is still a role of diuretics in combination with neurohormonal (Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Axis) blockade and when there is compelling indication. According to the recent consensus statement of the International Society on Hypertension in Blacks (ISHB), chlorthalidone is favored than HCTZ [51]. Furthermore, the ISHB consensus statement reinforces, patient above goal BP (SBP/DBP—15/10) with (goal BP—< 130/80) end organ damage (HF, LVH, Kidney disease) or without end organ damage (goal BP—< 135/85) should be on at least on combination pharmacotherapy [51].
Use of beta blockers (BB) as treatment for hypertension has come under scrutiny. Lindholm et al. conducted a meta-analysis of 13 trials, which included 105,951 patients showing that atenolol did not improve outcomes in terms of stroke and cardiovascular events [52]. In stage B CHF (NYHA class I), defined by the presence of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40 percent in otherwise asymptomatic individuals, ACEIs and BBs are recommended. Stage C HF patients (NYHA class II–III) manifest left ventricular dysfunction and overt symptoms; in these individuals, ACEIs and BBs are also indicated. Aldosterone antagonists also may be of value in these cases [51].
HF is an indication for the use of ACEI. Abundant evidence exists to justify their use with all stages of HF. Patients who are intolerant to ACEIs, ARBs may be used. BBs are also recommended in HF because of clinical studies demonstrating decreased morbidity and mortality, and improvement in HF symptoms. The reduction of BP with BBs may be very marginal. Aldosterone antagonists may provide additional benefit in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction, usually late stage C (NYHA class III–IV). In the Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study (RALES), low-dose spironolactone (12.5–25mg daily), when added to standard therapy, decreased mortality by 34 percent [34]. In the Eplerenone Postacute Myocardial Infarction Heart Failure Efficacy and Survival Study (EPHESUS), eplerenone reduced mortality by 15% in patients following a recent MI with LVEF < 40%, 90% of whom had HF symptoms [53]. Patients were excluded who had a serum creatinine of <2.5mg/dL and hyperkalemia.
The V-HEFT I and II are a large-scale trial that compared different vasodilators with placebo and among themselves [25]. V-HEFT I showed, the mortality rate was significantly lower for the total cohort (African Americans and Whites) in ISDN/HYD arm compared to patients treated with Prazosin or placebo added to digitalis and diuretics (Figure 1) [54].
In V-HEFT II, though ISBD/HYD was statistically inferior to enalapril in effect on mortality, patients taking ISBD/HYD experienced similar mortality rate in patients taking ISBD/HYD in V-HEFT-II as those in V-HEFT-I taking ISBD/HYD. Posthoc analysis of V-HEFT I showed ISBD/HYD significantly reduced mortality in African American patients but not in white patients. The reanalysis of V-HEFT II, demonstrated the annual mortality rate African American (12.9) patients receiving ISBD/HYD was 12.9% compared with 12.8% for African Americans receiving enalapril. Due to difference in outcomes in African Americans in V-HEFT, the African American Heart Failure Trial (A-HEFT) definitive study was designed. The A-HEFT was terminated earlier than anticipated completion date due to a significant (43%) reduction in mortality in patients receiving combination (ISDN/HYD) compared to the placebo arm [44].
Adding the combination of a fixed-dose of ISDN/HYD (20mg/37.5mg) to a standard medical regimen for HF, including ACEI and BBs, is recommended in order to improve outcomes for patients self-described as African Americans, with NYHA functional class III or IV CHF [47]. Furthermore, genomic evidence from the GRAHF (Genetic Risk Assessment of Heart Failure in African Americans) arm of the African American Heart Failure Trial (A-HEFT) showed that blacks with the more common TT phenotype (61%) of the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) showed greater responsiveness to the combination of isosorbide dinitrate and hydralazine [55].
The vast majority of blacks will have no identified cause for their HTN [56]. Past studies elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms have shown conflicting information and further investigations exploring the complex relationships and interactions are warranted [57]. There are, however, several secondary forms of HTN in blacks that are prominent and preventable. We will focus on the most common, preventable and treatable secondary form of hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [58].
The prevalence of OSA in hypertensive populations is estimated to range between (30–40%) [59] and in heart failure at 53%; apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥10/h) [60]. OSA is more common in blacks than whites [61, 62]. It is an independent risk factor for HTN [63], nondipping of blood pressure and increased BP variability [64] and follows a dose-dependent relationship [65]. A prospective study showed that the odds of developing hypertension over 4–8 years was 2.89 times more likely for participants who had AHI ≥ 15/h compared to AHI ≥ 0, independent of known confounders [66]. Cross-sectional data has shown 2.38-times increased likelihood of having heart failure in association with OSA, independent of confounders (n = 6424) [67, 68].
OSA has been shown to act through various mechanisms, independent of blood pressure, in promoting left-ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, diastolic [69], and systolic [70] dysfunction, and overt heart failure [71]. These mechanisms include the hemodynamic consequences of repetitive increases in left-ventricular transmutable wall pressure and over time impaired vigil heart rate modulation leading to LV hypertrophy and ventricular remodeling [58]. Additionally, OSA patients without overt heart failure have more impaired diastolic relaxation than those without OSA [72]. Emerging evidence illustrates patients with OSA have more active atherosclerotic disease with a greater degree of vessel involvement and more vulnerable plaques than do patients without the disease, resulting in greater cardiovascular burden [73].
The definite treatment for OSA, long-term adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, has shown to suppress sympathetic activity [74], lower blood pressure [75], reduce right ventricular volume [76], and improve systolic function in patients with HF [77]. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials have shown statistically significant net reduction in blood pressure with CPAP, especially in patients with increased AHI events [78–83]. A recent 3-year study (n = 340) by Durán-Cantolla et al. reported that participants assigned to CPAP therapy for 3 months had mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure decreased by 2.1mmHg (0.4 to 3.7) mmHg (P = .01) for systolic and 1.3 (0.2 to 2.3) mmHg (P = .02) for diastolic blood pressures [84]. Similar evidence from randomized trials showed up to 9% increase in LVEF [77] and increased quality of life (QOL) and functional capacity among patients treated with 1–3 months of CPAP therapy [85]. Furthermore, among patients with no overt failure, CPAP therapy has been shown to reverse impaired diastolic relaxation [71]. There is a need for further randomized clinical trials with CPAP therapy among high-risk ethnic minorities especially blacks to assess whether treatment of OSA has similar long-term effects and to evaluate the effect on HTN and HF morbidity and mortality.
Taking into consideration, lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions, our changing health care community needs to emphasize the essential nature of the patient-provider relationship and establish trust and collaboration. In the past, this has been accomplished through physician, patients, family member, and other caretaker awareness, increased education of both provider and patients, and establishment of community outreach programs [86]. These measures have contributed to an increase in compliance and a reduction in the risk of hospitalizations [23, 87]. We recommend an additional emphasis on the implementation of specialty care in patients with heart failure in collaboration with the primary care provider.
The dramatic improvement in the management of HF and hypertension over the last 50 years has allowed us to start to target specific populations and provide more evidence-based treatment that will lead to an improvement in mortality [88]. There are disparities in the prevalence, treatment, and control of hypertension and the incidence and morbidity and mortality of heart failure between blacks, a diverse and heterogeneous population, and whites. The management team needs to take into consideration new evidence and develop tailored strategies for effective treatment, especially for hypertension, one of the main causes of HF and many other cardiovascular complications in African Africans.

Research Capacity Development
NMMU funded, independently funded and international collaborative opportunities exist for staff and developing researchers.
Staff bursaries are administered by the Human Resources Department of the NMMU.
International funding and collaboration opportunities are provided by:
South Africa is a member of the common wealth community. Scholarship opportunities are made available to the staff of South African universities from time to time - to study locally or abroad.
DAAD is a private, publicly funded, self governing organisation of the institutions of higher education in Germany. It has the function of promoting international academic relations especially through the exchange of students and faculty.In-country and in-region scholarships are provided at African universities in the form of Masters and PhD grants.
Enquiries should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com (Tel: 011 717 9334)
SANPADis a unique collaborative research programme that has been financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1997. SANPAD funds high quality, collaborative research by South African researchers in association with Dutch researchers.
Annually SANPAD invites senior South African researchers to apply for financial support for collaborative, development-oriented team researchprojects. These teams are not only to be international (in that they are at least to include researchers from the Netherlands), but are also preferably to extend across institutional, gender and racial divides in South Africa...
Central to the SANPAD mission is the commitment to develop research capacity amongst persons from previously disadvantaged communities. Every SANPAD-funded research project has therefore to include in the approved research team one or more junior researchers from these groups, whose skills and confidence as researchers will be honed by working in the project under the guidance of senior researchers...
The RCI programme was initiated in 1999.It is offered annually from February to February, in a total of seven weeks of intensive workshops spread over the four usual university holiday periods. As the effect of these 'snapshots' of learning would be lost if they were not continuously reinforced, the RCI students are required to engage in on-line learning in between the workshops. To ensure that all of the members of the group are at more or less the same level of development academically, possession of a master's degree or an equivalent is a minimum criterion for selection for the programme. This makes it possible for the presenters, a selection of the best theoreticians available in South Africa and the Netherlands, to teach the curriculum at an appropriate level and with a certain amount of confidence in the ability of the students to benefit from the learning experience.
In order to begin to redress past inequities, recruitment into the programme targets primarily South Africans who are members of what the Employment Equity Act terms designated groups – black people, women, and disabled people. Those accepted will have finished a masters degree, be registering for a doctorate, and will intend to make a career in a university, a technikon, or some other institution where they can engage in continual research production in accordance with SANPAD's overall aim, which is to foster research which addresses the quality of life in South Africa. Annually a few places in the programme will be awarded to students who are not part of a SANPAD-supported project but who are otherwise thought to be particularly deserving.

Study these photos of the new QX56—then swing by the 2010 QX56 page and tell us which one's an Infiniti. Easy, right? The new ute's so much more expressive—so much more typically Infiniti—it's easy to overlook some real flaws in its styling.
From the side, there's a quintessential Japanese-ute charm to the QX56. The ratio of glass to metal is right. It stands tall, and maybe a bit narrow. The backwards kick of its D-pillar implies some motion you'd never pick out of the graphics of the last-generation SUV. The subtle swells around the fenders make even more sense when you park next to the smaller Infiniti FX or Infiniti EX, even if they're more fraternal than identical triplets. The tailgate? Interesting how the center bulges upward like the hoodline, isn't it?
The headlights fit the outré Infiniti theme—but there's no escaping that too-prominent front end and those sigh-inducing fender vents. The vents look straight out of a blister pack from an auto-parts chain, though one of them actually functions to bring cool air under the hood. Up front, let's just say we've seen foreheads, and that's a five-head. From the side, it's plainly too tall to fit in with the sleekness you get from the rear quarters. Pick a darker color and it softens considerably—and by all means, view it in person before you judge it. In another hue, the QX56 has warmed on us plenty since it escaped the glaring lights and the unflattering silver paint it wore at the 2010 New York Auto Show.
Slide in and savor the QX's cabin to seal the deal. This look and feel fits in perfectly with the grace and finesse of the M56 sedan. Finely finished wood burls and swirls around the analog clock, audio controls, and steering wheel on some versions; the hazelnut leather in our test vehicle matched it perfectly. Infiniti's designers have balanced the shapes and textures on the dash in a subtly masculine way, from the hockey-stick angles of the dash center to the aluminum strip implanted into the shift lever like the stitching on a 22nd-century baseball. We've seen lots of clear, finely detailed gauges—and the ones on this Infiniti are some of our favorites. This cockpit's as radiant as that in the Mercedes-Benz GL, more refined than the one in the Escalade—and closer than ever to the cabin in the excellent Range Rover.

Whole Foods Hails "Shrimpsgiving" Arrival
The chain is boosting shrimp merchandising and baiting the hook with deals.
Whole Foods Market is celebrating "Shrimpsgiving" at its seafood departments nationwide, featuring fully cooked and raw shrimp that the natural/organic grocer is billing as a great grab-and-go "value" for holiday meals. The chain is also featuring special prices on shrimp during the month of November.
A larger array of shrimp will be on display in Whole Foods stores than in previous years, the grocer noted. In a marketing twist, the chain is celebrating the little-known fact that the Pilgrims and Native Americans enjoyed seafood along with their turkey on the first Thanksgiving.
The Austin, Texas-based chain is offering wild and premium farm-raised shrimp, including already cooked, tail-on shrimp from Thailand at $8.99 per pound; and raw, shell-on American-raised white shrimp (price varies by region, it said). It is also posting shrimp recipe ideas on its Web site.

I may have mentioned this before, but I love reading obsessively about creepy/mysterious things. I can't look away—I just keep going till I'm afraid of my own hair brushing against my shoulder and it's way past my bedtime but impossible to sleep. If it is incomprehensible and unsettling, but in a way that's somewhat fantastical and odd (Morgellon's, Somerton Man, Dyatlov Pass), then I am going to become obsessed.*
One of my favorite bookish mysteries is, naturally, the Voynich Manuscript. Basically, for several hundred years this probably 15th century manuscript has been the subject of scrutiny, because it's composed of script no one can read and illustrations no one understands. It's often suspected to be a code or some transcription of some known language or languages the author didn't know how to write, but it's been thoroughly examined by amateurs and professionals alike, and no one can figure it out. UNTIL NOW: a Finnish businessman claims that he's cracked the code (with God's help). It's both a prophecy and a record of plants the writer had. So it's like Nostradamus's gardening book, but more secretive?
So yes, there's a part of me that would like this guy to be right so we'd know what it's really all about, but it's also sort of sad to think of the mystery being resolved. Some mysteries should stay mysterious, you know? And sure, this guy could be wrong or nutty or absolutely spot on—till we have a confirmed answer, there's no telling for sure whose suppositions are right. I guess if he's right, though, the mystery left behind is why someone would actually bother to write down prophecy that no one else would read. I mean, surely the point of prophecy is to warn people or at the very least to look back smugly with the proof you were right all along.
What do you guys think? Let's pretend he's right and play amateur detective here. What plant-related information (because it does fairly clearly seem to depict plants) can you imagine having that is so important it must be tracked in obsessive detail, but so secretive you cannot possibly let anyone ever read about it? Any ideas? Or favorite pet theories on what's really going on?
*P.S. If you have favorite creepy mysteries I may not know about, please share.

Associated Press
PORTLAND — It wasn't the first time Joseph Johnson III had shot someone, but his decision to stuff a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun down the front of his pants as he fled had dramatic consequences.
Portland police say Johnson ended up shooting himself in the testicles. Officers arrested him nearby.
The 41-year-old man told a judge on Tuesday that he was "deeply ashamed" of wounding a friend in the leg last January in the course of a robbery. He asked for leniency but was sentenced to 20 years.
The Oregonian reports the man was convicted of shooting someone in San Francisco in 1994 and someone else in Multnomah County in 2006 – both over drug disputes.
In this case, a jury convicted Johnson of robbery, assault and possession of methamphetamine.
