Daniel Ricciardo believes Red Bull on course to challenge Mercedes at Monaco GP
World Champions only two tenths back on rivals in dry P1
By James Galloway
Last Updated: 23/05/14 8:54am
With the results of Thursday afternoon's practice session in the Principality - when Ferrari's Fernando Alonso set the pace - clouded by lunchtime rain, it is therefore the timesheet and data from the dry Practice One that is set to be poured over by teams over Friday's 'rest day' and into the weekend as they gear up for final practice and qualifying.
While Mercedes still claimed their seemingly obligatory one-two in P1, Ricciardo ended up just 0.235s behind pacesetter Lewis Hamilton, a significantly smaller margin between F1's top two teams than two weeks ago in Spain.
Red Bull have been expected to be far closer to the championship leaders in Monaco owing to the venue's lack of straights and Ricciardo, who looked particularly at ease around the twisty lap, is feeling confident they have started on the right foot as they attempt to halt Mercedes' pole and victory run.
"The afternoon unfortunately we can't look into too much - but the morning went well," the Australian told Sky Sports News.
"It's still early but we seem to be there or thereabouts with them [Mercedes]. A few little tweaks over the next 24 hours and for Saturday, if we get it the way we want, we'll give them a run."
World Champion Sebastian Vettel finished two places and half a second back on his team-mate in Practice One, before outpacing him in the late slick-tyre laps in P2 to finish third. The German said he saw enough to declare that Red Bull had improved their car since Barcelona.
"Not that many laps today but I feel good," Vettel said. "It was limited what you could learn but I think we improved the car slightly - at least it felt that way from the morning.
"It's important round here to feel confident in the car because then you can push to the limit."
Vettel, meanwhile, appeared unmoved by the news that Red Bull design guru Adrian Newey had committed his 'foreseeable future' to the quadruple title winners on Friday.
"There was a lot of stories obviously before and now he's said he will stay," the German said.
"He's an important part of the team but as I said many times, there's a lot of other people that are very important to us as well and responsible for the success we've had and hopefully responsible for the success we will have in the future."

Unanswered: confusing error handling problems
i have... the most interesting problem, and I can not figure out why my code is DOING THIS. I'm trying not to freak out here...
I have some code in one of my data entry forms to check the entry to make sure it is not a duplicate before entering the information.
Observe a snippet of my code:
Dim Count As Single
Dim err As Boolean
'I have assigned the value of the Me.txtEmpID text box to Provider already
Count = DCount("intEmpID", "tblContractors", intEmpID = Provider)
If Count > 0 Then
MsgBox "A record for the employee Id you have entered already esists.", vbCritical, "Duplicate Entry"Me.txtEmpID.SetFocusEnd If
err = True
If Not Err Then
<insert a bunch of lines of code that enters the new information to tblContractors here>
End If
My problem is, when I test this, I enter an employee Id value that I of course know is already in the table. the FIRST time I enter this value, I get some cockamamie message from VB telling me about duplicate records, or for some reason a related record is required int his other table, yada yada.
so, I hit END as opposed to DEBUG and it just takes me right on back to the form, where all of my data is still the same.
i press enter again.
Voila, the error message I programmed comes up and tells me the id already exists, I click okay, it sets the focus back to txtEmpID, and the program skips the execution of the insert statements.
WHY is it that the code runs properly the second time I hit enter on the form and it doesn't work the first time!?!?

It sounds like you're using a bound form and your table does not allow duplicates on this field and has referential integrity enforced on a relationship with another table. Your post does not indicate when this code is running. It is most likely running after access tries to write the record rather than before. If this is the case, Access would come across the table level validation prior to running your code.

This code executes within the onclick event for the "enter" command button, along with some other code that sets a boolean error flag to True if any of the necessary fields are blank.
The code to write the new record only occurs if the error flag is False. and no this table does not have referential integrity enforced on any other relationships, no, I'm not using a bound form, and yes, there can not be duplicates inside the primary key field. That's the point of this piece of code. To keep it from trying to write the record if the employee ID already exists in the table.
My problem was actually a problem with the variables, where they were declared, and the values being used to evaluate the DCount() function. I actually solved the problem shortly after making the original post."Unix is user friendly... It's just very picky about its friends."

Pharmacies encouraged to take on methadone clients
Tasmanian pharmacists are being urged to spread the load when it comes to the state's methadone program.
About three pharmacies are involved in the program.
The Government has been criticised for winding back the methadone program with new cases being turned away but Health Minister David Llewellyn says the service could be expanded if more pharmacies sign up.
The state president of the Pharmacy Guild, John Dowling, says while his pharmacy has six methadone clients, another Hobart pharmacy has 120 and that is clearly too many.
"And they really can't take on anymore and we'd certainly encourage more pharmacies in the Hobart area to take on even you know five or six each that would spread that burden around and certainly help to make the program sustainable."

Pacific Northwest ...
NightHawk Radiology Holdings, which provides long-distance emergency X-ray interpretations, has filed to raise up to $86.25 million in an initial public offering (IPO) of stock.
NightHawk is headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, but its radiologists are in Australia and Switzerland. Because of the time differences, they can read and interpret X-rays, MRIs and other body images for U.S. customers in what would be off hours or weekends in the States.
In the first half of this year, revenue rose 70 percent to $28.4 million, over the same period in 2004; operating income rose 42.4 percent to $6.8 million. NightHawk reported a $7.5 million loss in the first half, however, due to a change in the estimated fair value of its convertible preferred stock.Cascade National
Bellevue insurer faces liquidation
Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler filed a petition last week to liquidate Bellevue-based Cascade National Insurance. Kreidler recommends policyholders take immediate steps to find replacement coverage.
Cascade National sold auto and commercial-trucking policies in several states and marketed workers' compensation coverage in California.
It was placed into receivership last November after Kreidler's office found it was undercapitalized. Earlier this year, the commissioner's office tried to sell the company but found no potential buyers with both viable business plans and adequate financial backing.
A hearing on Kreidler's petition for liquidation is scheduled Nov. 4 in Thurston County Superior Court. All policies will be canceled 30 days after the order of liquidation is signed by the court.Potlatch
High energy costs cut into earnings
Spokane-based Potlatch, a lumber-and-paper maker, said third-quarter earnings will be "significantly below" the average analyst estimate of 50 cents a share because of higher energy costs.
Energy expenses, which were exacerbated by oil and natural-gas shortages from Gulf Coast hurricanes, will be about $10 million more than a year earlier, Potlatch said in a statement yesterday after the close of trading.
Flir revises its outlook for year
Flir Systems, the Portland company that makes infrared imaging systems, cut its full-year earnings and sales forecasts yesterday after third-quarter revenue fell short of expectations.
The news pushed Flir stock down $3.87, or 13.9 percent, to $24.01.
The company said it now expects to earn $1.12 to $1.17 a share on revenue of $510 million to $520 million for the year. In July, Flir projected full-year earnings between $1.17 and $1.22 a share on revenue of $545 million to $560 million.Genentech
Net income up 56% on strong drug sales
Genentech reported a 56 percent surge in third-quarter net income, fueled by strong drug sales of its newest colon cancer drug and its flagship breast-cancer fighter.
The results, released yesterday after the stock market closed, beat analysts' expectations.
Genentech shares rose $4.40 to $85.90 after the report was released. Earlier, the stock gained 35 cents to close at $81.50.
Military contractor slashes '05 forecast
Northrop Grumman slashed its 2005 profit forecast yesterday after estimating that damages and work delays caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita will cut about 40 cents a share from full-year earnings.
The military contractor estimated damage to its shipbuilding unit caused by the storms at $1 billion. It has facilities in New Orleans, Pascagoula, Miss., and Gulfport, Miss.
Higher energy costs cut into profitability
Aluminum manufacturer Alcoa yesterday said third-quarter profit edged up 2 percent as lower aluminum prices and higher energy costs cut into profitability.
The results surpassed the expectations of analysts. Shares of Alcoa, a Dow industrial, fell 38 cents to close at $22.66 yesterday, then gained 53 cents in aftermarket activity.Lincoln National
$7.5 billion buys rival Jefferson-Pilot
Lincoln National said yesterday it will acquire rival Jefferson-Pilot for about $7.5 billion in cash and stock, as the two century-old companies create what executives said would be one of the largest publicly traded life-insurance companies in the U.S.
The buyer, which will retain the Lincoln National and Lincoln Financial Group names, will be the nation's largest seller of universal-life-insurance products and a leader in group-disability insurance and retirement-plan assets, the companies said.

Zmanda spruces up Windows cloud backup
Open-source data backup software company Zmanda Inc. is releasing version 2.0 of its Zmanda Cloud Backup (ZCB) for Windows today.
New features include:
- Geography control – customers can tag data so that it's backed up to a cloud data center in a certain region. For ecample, users in Europe can specify data that has to stay in Europe per European Union regulations. Customers can also choose to send data to data centers closest to their location for better performance of data migrations and retrieval over the network.
- Selective restore – the ability to restore one file from a data set; not new for Zmanda's main backup product, but new for ZCB.
- Windows Security Certificate Encryption – Previously data sent to the cloud through ZCB was encrypted using standard AES encryption; support for the Windows certificate "is the highest level of encryption for Windows systems," said Zmanda CEO Chander Kant. "It means they can use the same certificate they're used to if they encrypt files on their Windows server and can make bare-metal restores for DR easier."
Zmanda Cloud Backup 1.0 was first released last December. Kant said there are currently about 100 customers using it to backup systems to the cloud.
Cisco: We're not abandoning Fibre Channel for FCoE
Despite its aggressive push of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Cisco executives say Fibre Channel will remain its main storage protocol for another five to 10 years and the vendor remains committed to extending its MDS FC switching platform.
Cisco reps claimed it is a myth that the vendor is abandoning FC for FCoE today during a webcast on storage networking innovation.
"Cisco is not going out and saying 'Get rid of the Fibre Channel infrastructure,'" said Ed Chapman, VP of product management for Cisco's server access and virtualization group.
Added VP of Cisco's data center switching technology group Rajiv Ramaswami: "Fibre Channel is here, it's healthy, it's going to be here for a long time." When asked how long before FCoE becomes the primary storage protocol, he said at least five to 10 years.
Ramaswami says Cisco plans call for an 8Gbps Fibre Channel module for the Nexus 5000 switch this year and a 16Gbps FC card for its MDS 9000 director switches by early 2011. He said Cisco will also add new intelligent storage services for the MDS platform, as well as an FCoE module.
He said FC will play a major part alongside FCoE in Cisco's unified platform. "Unified computing is not just another name for FCoE," he said. "FCoE is a building block in a unified fabric. FCoE is about consolidation of I/O on the server. A unified platform is about building an end to end network along with unified storage."
Cisco added to its FCoE platform today with the Nexus 4000, the first blade switch for its Nexus unified fabric platform. Cisco expects OEM deals with blade server vendors to ship the Nexus 4000 inside their blades.
Cisco, which has deeper roots in Ethernet than FC, has pushed FCoE more than its chief switching rival Brocade, which began as a FC vendor and added Ethernet when it acquired Foundry Networks last year. Brocade beat Cisco to the punch with 4Gbps FC and 8 Gbps and gained FC market share during the refresh cycles. So it will be interesting to see if Cisco makes good on its FC roadmap pledges, especially for 16-gig.
HP drops roadmap nuggets at StorageWorks TechDay **Updated**
The storage blog-and Tweet-o-sphere was abuzz with details provided by HP execs at a private forum in Colorado Springs Monday about the direction of their midrange storage roadmap. Among the tidbits flying about online:
- HP has added solid-state drive (SSD) support with its most recent EVA refresh, but is working on automated sub-LUN tiered storage migration, according to attendees. IBM is also reportedly working on something similar, EMC is planning LUN-level automated tiered storage migration later this year, Atrato has announced something similar, and Compellent has always had sub-LUN automated tiered storage migration, which currently also supports SSDs. This seems to be becoming table stakes in the Flash-as-disk market for SSDs.
- HP is reportedly moving to an x86 / x64 Intel processor architecture for all of its storage arrays below the USP-V. Methinks Jasper Forest may have something to do with that.
- Finally, look for LeftHand Networks' virtual storage appliance (VSA) to be ported to other hypervisors, including Xen and Hyper-V.
- Update: Tweets out of Day 2 of the TechDay meeting indicate HP officials are talking about offering Ibrix as a clustered NAS gateway in front of block storage, and eventually converging with LeftHand, though what exactly that convergence would look like isn't clear.
HP is also still executing on roadmap predictions it made last year, adding small-form factor SAS drives across its storage arrays, beginning with the MSA line. The EVA is slated for a refresh with 2.5-inch SAS drives by the end of this year.
HP also expanded its Windows-based NAS products for SMBs today, with the introduction of the small office/home office (SOHO) X500 Data Vault series and new high-availability (HA) options for its X3000 Windows Storage Server 2008 product line.
Symantec sounds alarm on SMB disaster recovery
Symantec Corp. says the results of a recent worldwide survey of 1,653 small and midsize businesses (SMBs) and those who do business with them show a gap between how these companies perceive their disaster recovery plans and how prepared for disaster they actually are.
The survey began by asking SMBs (which represented 70 percent of the respondents, with "small" companies defined as 10 to 99 employees and midsize as 100 to 499 employees) how confident they were in their ability to respond to a disaster. According to the survey results, around 82% are somewhat or very satisfied with their DR plan, 84% believe they are "very" or "somewhat" protected, and one in three responded that they believe customers would evaluate other vendors should they experience an outage.
But when the survey questions drilled down into the details of SMB DR plans, Symantec representatives noticed discrepancies in the responses. While the vast majority began by expressing confidence in their ability to survive a disaster, 47% also said they have no formal DR plan An estimated 60% of company data is backed up in this market, with only one in five respondents backing up daily, and more than half expect they would lose more than 40% of their data in a disaster. More puzzling, while only a third of respondents said they expected their own customers to evaluate competitors in the event of a disaster or outage, 42% said they personally had switched vendors due to "unreliable computing systems" and 63% said it damaged their perception of an SMB vendor.
Pat Hanavan, Symantec's VP for Backup Exec product management, admitted the answers to the questions about confidence may have been different if asked at the end of the survey rather than at the beginning. "My guess is the survey itself may have been an educational process for some," he said.
It's also important to remember how long it has taken enterprises to focus on formalized disaster recovery planning and technology with the benefit of internal expertise dedicated to data protection in most cases. Many SMBs rely on a partner or non-technical employees to keep IT operations running and also operate without the budget of the big guys.
The good news for SMBs starting to consider disaster recovery is that more and more vendors are focused on storage and data protection in their market these days, including a plethora of cloud services designed to host data and/ or standby infrastructure for companies which can't afford a full secondary data center.
If you're an SMB working your way through disaster recovery planning, please feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Data Domain adds cascaded replication
Data Domain's first product upgrade since it became part of EMC is a step in the same direction the deduplication specialist was heading before the acquisition.
Data Domain today upgraded its operating system with an emphasis on improving its replication capabilities. Data Domain Replicator now supports cascading (multithreaded) replication that lets customers automatically replicate across more than two sites with bi-directional replication. It also expanded its fan-in to a maximum of 180-1 for remote sites.
Replication has been an area of concentration for Data Domain and other deduplication vendors this year. In May, Data Domain bumped its fan-in to a maximum of 90-1 and added full-system replication mirroring. IBM Diligent, Sepaton, and Quantum have all beefed up or added replication to deduplication products this year.
The number of sites supported by Replicator depends on the Data Domain system being run. Data Domain's largest system, the DD880, now supports 180 to 1 fan-in with the DD690 getting up to 90-1 and midrange DD565 boxes support 45-1.
"We actually have customers asking for fan-in to more sites," said Brian Biles, Data Domain VP of product marketing.
Biles says the number of sites that can replicate to the data center is determined by the amount of resources allocated for each operation. The idea is to keep them balanced for operations such as reads, writes and replication. "As systems get bigger and faster, we can apply more of those resources to replication," he says. "The DD880 can support more streams coming in [than other Data Domain devices]."
Cascaded replication copies multiple threads at the same time. This doubles the amount of throughput getting replicated in most cases, Biles said.
Biles, a Data Domain founder, says EMC execs have given Data Domain the go-ahead to continue to execute the roadmap it drew up before EMC's $2.1 billion acquisition.
"All discussions so far have been encouraging us to stay on the same course we were on, and to do more of it," Biles said. "I think you'll see a lot of the same things next year as you saw this year – an emphasis on scaling, and tightening our link with backup and archiving software."
He said that includes work with Symantec's NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) interface, even though Symantec and EMC are rivals in the backup game. "Absolutely," Biles said when asked if there would be tighter integration with OST. "Expect to see more and more over time."
Dell drops $3.9 billion on new services business
I realize I'm dating myself here, but I get a kick out of seeing H. Ross Perot Jr. surfacing in the news this morning with the announcement that Dell Inc. has bought his IT services company Perot Systems. Perot is the son of onetime US Presidential candidate H. Ross Perot Sr., who was a prominent and colorful character in the first American national elections I was old enough to be aware of at the time, in 1992 and 1996.
This acquisition isn't directly related to storage — industry observers like Steve Duplessie describe it as analogous to Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. buying EDS. However, storage is included in the infrastructure services Perot Systems offers. Also relevant to the storage world is the work the two companies have already been doing in the electronic medical records space, an area where storage managers in healthcare IT are struggling right now.
One Wall Street analyst who follows the storage market predicted the deal could have a short-term impact on shares of CommVault Systems Inc., writing in a note to clients this morning,
We believe shares of CommVault, which have been up approximately 109% since the early March lows and approximately 30% over the past three months…have been partially driven by investor sentiment on the thesis that the company would be on a short-list of potential acquisition candidates for Dell.
"While I agree that Dell may be less likely to acquire in general due to this major outlay, I see Perot and Commvault as filling very different needs within the Dell portfolio," wrote Forrester Research analyst Andrew Reichman in an email to Storage Soup. "If they needed it before Perot, they still need it after, so I disagree that this takes Commvault off the table."
Added Gartner analyst David Russell, "I think that a counter argument could be made that the Dell/Perot deal could lead to expanded CommVault sales if a backup and archiving practice is established."
The Taneja Group's Jeff Boles said this deal raises questions for him about the impact on EqualLogic services. "What does Dell/Perot do for EqualLogic? What do they do with EqualLogic within an increasingly virtual infrastructure? EqualLogic has great scale, and great economics – there might be a tremendous solution set here that gets really energized in the larger scale business through this professional services coupling."
Dell has announced SaaS services for storage, and Perot's SaaS expertise was also emphasized in this morning's announcement. But, as is to be expected this soon after an acquisition agreement, Dell's not yet revealing its plans.
"We view this acquisition as completely complementary to Dell's current services business," said a spokesperson reached today for comment by Storage Soup. "We have begun integration planning and will have more information on it upon closing."
Backup expert takes issue with Mozy notifications
Backup expert and Tech Target executive editor W. Curtis Preston Friday wrote on his Backup Central blog about a discovery he made regarding MozyHome online backup service – something he wasn't pleased with. When he switched laptops and didn't re-install the Mozy client, Preston wrote, Mozy kept charging him for 11 months without backing up data or connecting to his workstation.
Preston didn't lose any data and acknowledges it was his fault that he didn't re-install the Mozy client when he got a new laptop. "I'm not saying that the fact that I didn't use their service for 309 days was even their fault," he writes,
What I'm saying is that for almost a year they took my money to perform a service, they knew I wasn't using that service, and they never said squat. This is a typical business model for an ISP…but this isn't an ISP. It's a backup service. They don't know I'm Mr. Backup. I could just as well be my Mom (who is on Mozy) and have no idea that I've done something dumb like accidentally uninstall the application or set it never to backup. When you're selling a backup service directly to the consumer, the least you owe them is an email if they're not backing up, don't you think? I still like Mozy. But I think they should change this practice…
We reached out to Mozy to determine their notification poliy, whether you are Mr. Backup or not, and they emailed the following response:
We decided to put our notifications in the client instead of in e-mail because people get so many e-mails that they may miss the notification. We want our customers to know if a backup isn't happening. For this reason, the client pop up box doesn't go away until you click to remove it. That said, we expanding our notification options so that people can have more ways of receiving notifications than through the client only.
Keep in mind that [Preston]was still using the Mozy service even though he wasn't sending new files to us. We were still storing his information, which includes the power, cooling and management costs incurred to keep his data protected.
Mozy rivals including Carbonite notify users outside the client, according to Preston. "Competitors catch those who uninstall it unintentionally or forget to reinstall after a system change," he pointed out.
This isn't the first complaint to surface about Mozy, which EMC Corp. bought in 2007. Users have also complained of slow restore performance last year, a problem Mozy officials blamed on an "isolated bug", saying customers affected by slow restores would receive discounts or have subscription fees waived in response.
HP adds Samsung SSD option for ProLiant servers
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) continues to play both the server and array sides of the SSD fence, today announcing Samsung SSDs will be supported in its ProLiant servers.
According to a Samsung press release issued yesterday, its 60 and 120 GB SSDs have been qualified with all HP ProLiant G6 and G5 servers. The two companies claim the drives in ProLiant servers draw 1.9 watts of power when writing to the drive and 1.5 watts when reading; power usage in idle mode is 0.1 watt. The drives are rated for random read commands at 25,000 IOPS and random writes at 6,000 IOPS, with a sequential read speed of 230 MBps and a sequential write speed of 180MBps.
Initially HP officials seemed keener on putting SSDs into the server side of the house, arguing that the closer to the server bus the SSD, the more performance benefit there was, though HP also added array-based SSD options in its most recent EVA refresh. On the server side, HP has also been linked with Fusion-io.
As the SSD market continues to mature, anything that increases competition among product offerings is seen to be a good thing–even STEC's CTO said recently he's hoping for more competitors. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Aaron Rakers pointed out in a note to investors today that STEC's ZeusIOPS drive claims random IOPs of 80,000/40,000 and 350/300MB/s performance; "While we continue to view STEC's competitive positioning as solid, we believe HP's announcement with Samsung reflects what looks to be an increased amount of news flow regarding SSD competition in the enterprise server/storage market going forward," Rakers wrote.

Hey folks, hope all is well tonight!! Just wanted to share some info. I know most of you use Biotene that has some xylitol in it; but it doesn't specify how much. We should be getting about 5-6gm a day!!I find that chewing gum really helps with the dry mouth and it helps exercise the jaw!! I'm using a xylitol gum that has 1gm of xylitol per piece. Xylitol is suppose to help fight cavities big time. It works by producing saliva and cutting down the acid build up!! I use epic; but there are others. It can't hurt right???
Also, found a new shake. It's called orgain a little expensive, about 27.00$ a case of 12 but it's suppose to be all organic. I really like the vanilla. Take care!!
Apr 28, 2011 - 10:04 pm
I can chew gum now! I can chew gum now! Couldn't do it before! I have incrementally a teeny tiny bit more SPIT! Yay! And, I'm thinking it helps with my edema, too.
Apr 28, 2011 - 10:18 pm
TY Charles, where do you get the shake....
Give Abby a hug, keep on keepin on brother,
Apr 29, 2011 - 1:32 am
The gum is Epic? where do you get it? You can also buy Xylitol at health food stores, in the sweetener section (haven't tried it).
I chew Orbit gum, which also has xylitol, but maybe not a lot (it lists other sweeteners "above" the xylitol).
Apr 30, 2011 - 1:34 pm
Would like to hear more about the guma and shakes too...where to get and such.
Apr 30, 2011 - 3:22 pm
The gum I bought online. I tried the mouthwash and toothpaste as well; But I didn't really like them. However, I do like the gum and I got it in fruit flavor; the spearmint is to harsh for me! A friend of mine also recommended xellies; but it only has .75mg of xylitol, epic has 1 gm. IMPORT: KEEP AWAY FROM DOGS!!!
I don't know for sure if it will help, since I'm new to this like most of you, but hopefully it will help keep the cavities away!!!
The orgain I buy at wegmans for 27.00 a case. You can buy it online but it is more expensive. it doesn't make sense, you would think it would be cheaper! I go through a case a week. I'm trying to do two a day; I was getting tired of ensure!! I'm also doing bolthouse farms green goodness and carrot juice. I bought a juicer but juicing sucks, it gets old very fast. I need to get rich and have a personal chef.
Apr 30, 2011 - 5:47 pm
teeth, anyway. High consumption can cause gas and bloat, but everyone's limit is different, and your limit starts to slide up as you use more, so there's a case for starting slow and adding.
It does indeed inhibit the cavity-making bacteria, mostly by starving them, and it makes normal saliva a beter environment for remineralization of the teeth (don't know if it does the same for mouths with depleted saliva). It was extracted for a long time from birch trees in Norway/Finland/Sweden and you can still buy "real birch candy" there. Most of it is now made, of course, from corn.
One other caution - it doesn't inhibit cavities when fructose is present; the bacteria will happily munch on the fructose and ignore the xylitol, whereas in a xylitol/glucose mix, they will try to do the opposite and starve.
I'm glad it's helping you - I never tried it because Doug doesn't chew gum, but I had wondered.
BTW, a lot of folks lost their "sweet" taste buds. Do you think you taste xylitol's sweetness better than sugar's?
Apr 30, 2011 - 7:23 pm
Not sure if I taste the xylitol better than regular sugar. If I had to guess my taste is about 90% and I am at the 10 month mark. I wonder if it makes a difference in taste recovery in patients that had tonsil like myself vs. base of tongue pt's???
May 01, 2011 - 1:19 am
I still cannot chew gum, or suck on hard candy. It hurts my tongue too much. I miss gum. Also xylitol hurts my stomach and gives me the runs if I have too much.
May 01, 2011 - 9:25 am
I love chewing gum but sometimes have problems with biting the inside of my mouth, but I still chew it when I can, will give Xylitol and try and see.
Thanks for the info
May 01, 2011 - 10:04 pm
My dentist at the cancer centre gave me a sample of a package of soft lozenges called Salese. They also have Xylitol listed as an ingredient & are slow to dissolve & can last about an hour. Kills bacteria maintain's normal ph & is also sugar & alcohol free. She ordered them from the US. I use them frequently as they really help with dry mouth. I appreciate how she is alway's sourcing a product that help's with dry mouth issues.
May 05, 2011 - 2:20 pm
After much label reading, Trident (can I give a name brand on here?) has Xylitol AND it does help with dry mouth! I'm chewing gum again for the first time in 5 months! YIPEE!!! Thank you so much for the info!


text: Fly DPP10 acts as a channel ancillary subunit and possesses peptidase activityYohei Shiina, Tomohiro Muto, +6 authors Koichi TakimotoScientific reports2016Mammalian DPP6 (DPPX) and DPP10 (DPPY) belong to a family of dipeptidyl peptidases, but lack enzyme activity. Instead, these proteins form complexes with voltage-gated K(+) channels in Kv4 family to control their gating and other properties. Here, we find that the fly DPP10 ortholog acts as an ancillary subunit of Kv4 channels and digests peptides.… (More)

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart feels that his side will deserve their Premier League title if they are crowned champions at the end of the season.
Roberto Mancini's men triumphed against Manchester United on Monday to leapfrog their rivals into top spot, with both clubs on 83 points but goal difference on City's side.
They now know that a maximum return from their final two games would see them clinch their first title since 1968, but the 25-year-old feels that they can have no complaints if they stumble at the final hurdle.
"The season doesn't lie," Hart told reporters. "It is all about where you finish at the end.
|Man City boss anticipates tougher task against Newcastle
"Sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down but we have been in a strong position for seven months."
Hart stated that, despite his side's slip up at Arsenal on April 8, City have been leading the race for some time and, now that they are back in the driving seat, hope to wrap up the league with wins over Newcastle and QPR.
"We are not on a late surge. We have not been battling in fourth or fifth and all of a sudden come good," he continued.
"After Arsenal, we were strongly reminded that we were leading and then we supposedly cracked up.
"But we are back at the top when it matters. We have two big games to go. Hopefully we wrap up this league."
The England international has seen team-mates Sergio Aguero and David Silva grab the headlines with stunning performances this season and, while Hart has nothing but praise for the pair, he also feels that other members of the squad deserve credit for their hard-working displays throughout the campaign that have sometimes gone unnoticed.
|Samir Nasri is 5/2 with PaddyPower to score anytime in Newcastle - Manchester City
"Sometimes it frustrates me," he added.
"I love the way Sergio and David have set this Premier League alight but people don't see the hard work others do. We have to do very well as a team for everyone to be appreciated.
"We know what a fantastic player Paul Scholes is but maybe it only gets noticed quite so much because Manchester United win things.
"Everyone needs their dues."

BSOD Stop f4 after sleep w/ anti virus installed
I have a BSOD stop F4 after each time I wake my computer from sleep while an AV is installed. I have used Avast! and AVG with the same results.

In the beginning, even though I made it out of the World Trade Center (WTC) and stood at the foot of the tower after the first airplane hit it, I still could not believe an airplane hit the WTC. Seeing where it hit and knowing exactly where my husband's office was, I still did not want to believe that we would never see Kevin again. I immediately went into denial; not Kevin, not us, he is young, he is healthy, he is strong and he will do everything humanly possible to get to us, he will survive. We were the children of a spared generation. We saw no wars; death for us, with a few exceptions, was of the elderly. We were offered every opportunity to succeed and all we had to do was accomplish the American Dream. Kevin, like so many of the others that perished that morning of Sept. 11, were just beginning to realize the American Dream; got married, got a house and started to raise a family as Kevin and I did in Basking Ridge.
In seconds it was history, blown out forever. Fear, anxiety, loneliness, heartbreak and bitterness has, at different times in the aftermath, made coping unbearable. I strongly believe and I will forever be grateful that if it had not been f or the support and encouragement of our clergy, family, friends and neighbors, I would not have been able to conjure the patience to reason. In the words of William Shakespeare, "How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees?"
We were not alone. I cannot recall a single day that past since the Sept. 11, that we have not had family, friends and neighbors around us. Neighbors stopping by with dinners, deserts, flowers, calling me to volunteer to run errands, baby-s it our son Patrick, dropping off books, games, plants, decorated pumpkins and mass cards; you think of it, they did it. We are lucky and grateful to them all. T hey are the best.
The Church of Saint James has been my solace. Monsignor William Capik has been wonderful. He is so understanding and always there with hands reaching out to help. He has been a real sense of comfort and support for my son Patrick and me. Pa trick often asks to stop by to visit with monsignor. He always receives a warm welcome.
We are so grateful for that and for all that monsignor and the parishioners of St. James have done for our family. They are wonderful.
'Continual Support'
I am so grateful to the Bernards Township Police Department for their continual support, most especially Capt. Robert Kumpf. He advises me on everything that is of interest to me. He will take the initiative and make contacts on my behalf. It is just so comforting to have his presence at this time.
My son, Patrick, has developed a great respect for him as well as Chief Tom Kelly. He loves to wear his Junior Bernards Township officer badge that was given to him by the police department. I am since really thankful.
The Presbyterian Church and Liberty Corner School have been exceptional. Their understanding and kindness has been so comforting. It eases the pain to know that Patrick is in the care of such a loving and caring staff. He is in their Toddle r II program and thoroughly enjoys it. They are aware of his loss. They encourage expression and are sensitive.
Patrick loves to stop in the office of Mr. John O'Melia and Mr. Phil Fontana. His day would not be complete without the visit and the exchange of high fives.
We appreciate all of your kindness and thoughtfulness. It is so very important to us.
The merchants and local establishments of Basking Ridge have been great. Those that have dropped off platters of food, fruit and snacks were deeply appreciated. Amicis, probably one of the first to stop by to offer condolences, just so thoughtful. To the Monterey Gourmet and so many others thanks, thanks so much.
Mayor Bill Holmes stopped by and made himself available to us as needed. He offered his support and encouragement and saw the overwhelming support of our family from the Bernards Township residents. It is a giving, loving, thoughtful and ca ring town. It is a town that is any leader's dream and a town that I am proud to live in.
Patrick, myself and the soon-to-arrive Baby Hannaford, due in January 2002, will always remember and will never forget the unity and the support you have all given us in all areas. I can truly say, out of bad comes good.
This is a message that I wanted to get to all of you for the past couple of week s. It is a heartfelt message that I wanted for my two children. It is a message that until now I could not get the inner strength to complete. I realize that words can not fully express my gratitude to all of you. I wish you all and your families a happy and healthy holiday season. You deserve it. God bless.
Basking Ridge

A surprising thing about the referendum was that no one explained what, it turns out, we're leaving. The EU is an elevator with complete economic integration at the top floor. The ground level is the international trade order built after 1945, and the elevator rises through progressive levels of integration architected around free movement of the factors of production – labour, capital, goods and services.

REVEALED: The Number One Obstacle That Keeps Most People from Getting What They Want in Life (And How You Can Break the Trend!) Did you know that the ...
REVEALED: The Number One Obstacle That Keeps Most People from Getting What They Want in Life (And How You Can Break the Trend!) Did you know that the very point you are at in your life right now -- your relationships, your finances, your health and habits -- are all a direct result of how you think? Science is uncovering more and more powerfully motivating research that ties our thoughts to our actions. We're learning that the human mind is a wonderfully complex creation that can not only recall past events - but shape future ones as well. The good news is, you can make obstacles vanish, arguments dissolve and breeze through even the most complicated issues with ease - when you learn how to work with (and not against) your subconscious mind. Our conscious mind is the logical, practical, realistic part while the subconscious is the automatic, dreaming, "what-if" part. In our daily lives, we never "use" our subconscious mind, but it's always there -- automatically regulating our temperature, heartbeat, breathing… Imagine if you had to consciously remember when to breathe! Why More Willpower Isn't The Answer… You can't rationalize with your subconscious mind. When it tells you you're hungry, you'd better eat. When it tells you you're tired, you can't think about anything but sleep. But beyond controlling your daily functions, your subconscious can also create your reality. Look at it this way. Have you ever told yourself "I'm so in debt…this paycheck will never last until the end of the month." What always seems to happen? The money runs out and you have no idea where it goes. Even if you "force" yourself to try and save, your mind keeps telling you that you need that money for "something else" - and it's spent. But Your Subconscious Mind Can't Argue with This! To reach your subconscious mind, you have to be in a semi-sleepy, relaxed state of mind. That's when your subconscious "comes out" and you can tell it anything you want - and start seeing results in a very short time. You are essentially hypnotizing yourself to bring the subconscious to the forefront and give it messages that reinforce positive changes and behavior. Now, keep in mind, this type of hypnotism isn't like the stage performances where a hypnotist gets people to quack like a duck and "wake up" wondering what happened. Real hypnosis reverses bad habits, clears obstacles and gets unheard-of results in record time. Tap Into the Magic of Hypnosis For Yourself and Start Seeing the Results YOU WANT in Your Life Today! What's more -- ANYONE can be hypnotized! With this self-hypnosis iBook, you'll learn not only the science behind hypnosis and why it works - but how to tap into your own subconscious mind and bring about the results you're looking for! Download it Today and You'll Be Minutes Away from Learning All This! The top hypnosis myths - and why they're wrong. What hypnosis feels like - and how to do it right. Exactly what to say to yourself to get results. Proven hypnosis steps for conquering common problems. Addiction, overeating, stress, phobias, pain - all of these can be resolved using the power of hypnosis. "Covert Hypnosis" - or how to control the minds of others. No, it isn't some creepy science fiction movie. Discover how your words can impact the subconscious minds of others. WARNING - this is incredibly powerful and should not be used for doing harm or ill to someone else! Download this iBook today and start experiencing real results for yourself and those around you by unlocking the power of hypnosis for yourself! For this low price, you'll save thousands of dollars over the cost of a clinical hypnotist by learning how to do it all yourself the easy way! It's fun, simple to do and rewarding.

The similarities between Zeta Jones and Hollywood legend, Elizabeth Taylor, are striking: the same dark locks and arching eyebrows, but the two are about to have even more in common.
Catherine revealed during a TV interview that she has been thinking of portraying Cleopatra in a musical film. The idea initially was to make it into a film, but then producers felt it would be more successful if the idea was formed into a Broadway play. Taylor also famously played Cleopatra in the epic 1963 movie.
After finishing movie, 'Rock of Ages', with Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin, the Welsh beauty is keen to get back to Broadway. She was Oscar winning for her role singing and dancing in the film 'Chicago' so perhaps it won't be such a change for her after all.

Safer and Better Roof Alternative for Low Income Families
Families from the poorest regions of the world more often than not cover their already lacking homes with corrugated metal roofs. It's a low cost solution, but in most cases doesn't prevent leaks, and certainly has very little insulation value. (more…)

Yes things have changed just since 2005-2006 as many point out on this thread. I am not sure it is the women. It may be us. Maybe we are onto them, and therefore losing interest.
At least for me, I spot the bullshit games they play much faster. What used to seem cute now just seems toxic. I disqualify women much more readily.
This is very true. So when you say that it was us who changed, you simply mean that we became fully aware that western women are out to get us! It was us who changed for the better then. The question is, if women haven't changed in the previously mentioned years, then how long have women been man-hating, sex-witholding schemers?
IMO since getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
I have heard that the Koran prescribes monthly whippings for females as a preventative. Though not a Moslem, I must say that NOT whipping them doesn't work too well.
LOL, I love this!

Discussion in 'That'll Buff Right Out' started by TQ, Sep 29, 2003.
i put one on yesterday and i think i'm gonna put on some more later today. am i wasting my time?
A lot of people think layering carnuba is a waste. I don't layer, but if you do, wait 24 hours to do so.
You can layer paste wax, but since liquid waxes need a solvent or other similar carrier to stay in liquid form (usually some form of petroleum distillates), you can't really layer liquid waxes since the carrier will remove most of the previous layer of wax.
2 coats of S100, applied 24 hours apart should be sufficient.
while you're in my thread
what would be a good combo for a good long lasting wax job? some other sort of wax and then S100 on top of it?
how long does S100 seem to last? it's raining right now so i'm feeling like i cleaned my truck for 4 hours yesterday for no reason.
If you wanted something super long-lasting, try Collinite's Insulator wax, you can top that with S100. The S100 won't last as long as the Collinite, only about 3 months.
where can i get it?
what lasts 3 monthes? the collinite? or the S100?
i just want to get a decent coat on before winter
s100 lasts only about 2 months in the Texas Summer sun though..
ar at lest that was the case w/ my Harley F150 this summer.
The S100 lasts roughly 3 months on my car (I live in NY). Collinite lasts longer, not sure how much longer though. We use it on our fire apparatus, the chief insists that it's the "best wax money can buy." It'll last awhile, but S100 will give it that "wet" look you've seen in pictures on here.
actually 3 monthes is pretty good for what i need. if anything, i'm sure the weather will cooperate enough for me to get at least one more coat on there before the snow starts
If 3 months is fine, then just use the S100.
Someone on Autopia tried using S100 on top of Collinite and he had some hazing issues.
A better idea would be to use a polymer like Final Polish (in product sticky #2) or Winner's Choice Finishing Creme (I'll have to find the web address later). Both last about 6 months and look pretty good on their own. Top with S100 and instant depth.
Yeah, I didn't know about the hazing issues and for some reason I forgot all about the Final Polish. I think he'll be alright with just the S100, he thinks 3 months is good protection.
heres another question for you guys
i used meguiar's (sp?) "Deep Crystal system Paint Cleaner" after the clay magic clay bar last sunday, and the topped it off with a coat of S100 but it just wasn't as "wet" looking as all the pics people have been posting
i'm waxing front to back (like wind flowing over the car....i read that somewhere on here...) is there another polish i should try before i throw the S100 on there?
Meguiars Deep Crystal System is for the average consumer who isn't very picky. Using Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover and #7 Show Car Glaze (or preferrably, if you can find them, #3 Machine Glaze or #81 Hand Polish) then use S100, I think you will be a lot happier.
where can i find this stuff???? i never see any meguiar's number ANYTHING at any parts stores around me
on a side note: i just ordered some vanilla moose
If you just ordered the Vanilla Moose, you can use that in lieu of the Meguiar's #7.
i need to find a place to order the #9 swirl remover now...
how about vanilla moose, poorboy's sealant, then the s100?
It's a great combo. I just used this combo recently on a dark blue accord and it had great depth. I'm waiting to see what durability. I'll probably put a layer of #16 on it before winter. I've had great durability with #16.
I've had great luck with #16 and then a layer of S100. Looks fantastic and lasts fairly long with the shitty industrial fallout we have here in London. My Poorboys EX should be here tomorrow or thursday. I can't wait!
Me too. Beads like a madman too. Also works well over NXT, but like with EX-P, you should wait a day to let it cure before applying #16.

Computes the absolute distance from the plane to the point :param point: :return:
indices_separate(points, dist_tolerance)[source]¶
Returns three lists containing the indices of the points lying on one side of the plane, on the plane and on the other side of the plane. The dist_tolerance parameter controls the tolerance to which a point is considered to lie on the plane or not (distance to the plane) :param points: list of points :param dist_tolerance: tolerance to which a point is considered to lie on the plane or not (distance to the plane) :return: The lists of indices of the points on one side of the plane, on the plane and on the other side of the plane
Checks whether the plane is identical to one of the Planes in the plane_list list of Planes :param plane_list: List of Planes to be compared to :return: True if the plane is in the list, False otherwise
is_in_plane(pp, dist_tolerance)[source]¶
Determines if point pp is in the plane within the tolerance dist_tolerance :param pp: point to be tested :param dist_tolerance: tolerance on the distance to the plane within which point pp is considered in the plane :return: True if pp is in the plane, False otherwise
Checks whether the plane is identical to another Plane "plane" :param plane: Plane to be compared to :return: True if the two facets are identical, False otherwise
Returns a list of three orthogonal vectors, the two first being parallel to the plane and the third one is the normal vector of the plane :return: List of orthogonal vectors :raise: ValueError if all the coefficients are zero or if there is some other strange error
project_and_to2dim(pps, plane_center)[source]¶
Projects the list of points pps to the plane and changes the basis from 3D to the 2D basis of the plane :param pps: List of points to be projected :return: :raise:
project_and_to2dim_ordered_indices(pps, plane_center='mean')[source]¶
Projects each points in the point list pps on plane and returns the indices that would sort the list of projected points in anticlockwise order :param pps: List of points to project on plane :return: List of indices that would sort the list of projected points
Sort a list of 2D points in anticlockwise order :param pps: List of points to be sorted :return: Sorted list of points
Returns the indices that would sort a list of 2D points in anticlockwise order :param pps: List of points to be sorted :return: Indices of the sorted list of points
changebasis(uu, vv, nn, pps)[source]¶
For a list of points given in standard coordinates (in terms of e1, e2 and e3), returns the same list expressed in the basis (uu, vv, nn), which is supposed to be orthonormal. :param uu: First vector of the basis :param vv: Second vector of the basis :param nn: Third vector of the bais :param pps: List of points in basis (e1, e2, e3) :return: List of points in basis (uu, vv, nn)
collinear(p1, p2, p3=None, tolerance=0.25)[source]¶
Checks if the three points p1, p2 and p3 are collinear or not within a given tolerance. The collinearity is checked by computing the area of the triangle defined by the three points p1, p2 and p3. If the area of this triangle is less than (tolerance x largest_triangle), then the three points are considered collinear. The largest_triangle is defined as the right triangle whose legs are the two smallest distances between the three
- p1 – First point
- p2 – Second point
- p3 – Third point (origin [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 if not given])
- tolerance – Area tolerance for the collinearity test (0.25 gives about 0.125 deviation from the line)
True if the three points are considered as collinear within the given tolerance, False otherwise
diamond_functions(xx, yy, y_x0, x_y0)[source]¶
- Method that creates two upper and lower functions based on points xx and yy as well as intercepts defined by
- y_x0 and x_y0. The resulting functions form kind of a distorted diamond-like structure aligned from point xx to point yy.
Schematically :
- xx is symbolized by x, yy is symbolized by y, y_x0 is equal to the distance from x to a, x_y0 is equal to the
- distance from x to b, the lines a-p and b-q are parallel to the line x-y such that points p and q are obtained automatically.
- In case of an increasing diamond the lower function is x-b-q and the upper function is a-p-y while in case of a
decreasing diamond, the lower function is a-p-y and the upper function is x-b-q.
- xx – First point
- yy – Second point
A dictionary with the lower and upper diamond functions.
function_comparison(f1, f2, x1, x2, numpoints_check=500)[source]¶
Method that compares two functions
- f1 – First function to compare
- f2 – Second function to compare
- x1 – Lower bound of the interval to compare
- x2 – Upper bound of the interval to compare
- numpoints_check – Number of points used to compare the functions
- Whether the function are equal ("="), f1 is always lower than f2 ("<"), f1 is always larger than f2 (">"),
f1 is always lower than or equal to f2 ("<"), f1 is always larger than or equal to f2 (">") on the interval [x1, x2]. If the two functions cross, a RuntimeError is thrown (i.e. we expect to compare functions that do not cross…)
is_anion_cation_bond(valences, ii, jj)[source]¶
Checks if two given sites are an anion and a cation. :param valences: list of site valences :param ii: index of a site :param jj: index of another site :return: True if one site is an anion and the other is a cation (from the valences)
matrixMultiplication(AA, BB)[source]¶
Performs the multiplication of two matrix of size 3x3 :param AA: One matrix of size 3x3 :param BB: Another matrix of size 3x3 :return: A matrix of size 3x3
matrixTimesVector(MM, aa)[source]¶
- MM – A matrix of size 3x3
- aa – A vector of size 3
A vector of size 3 which is the product of the matrix by the vector
my_solid_angle(center, coords)[source]¶
Helper method to calculate the solid angle of a set of coords from the center.
- center – Center to measure solid angle from.
- coords – List of coords to determine solid angle.
The solid angle.
quarter_ellipsis_functions(xx, yy)[source]¶
Method that creates two quarter-ellipse functions based on points xx and yy. The ellipsis is supposed to be aligned with the axes. The two ellipsis pass through the two points xx and yy.
- xx – First point
- yy – Second point
A dictionary with the lower and upper quarter ellipsis functions.
rectangle_surface_intersection(rectangle, f_lower, f_upper, bounds_lower=None, bounds_upper=None, check=True, numpoints_check=500)[source]¶
Method to calculate the surface of the intersection of a rectangle (aligned with axes) and another surface defined by two functions f_lower and f_upper.
- rectangle – Rectangle defined as : ((x1, x2), (y1, y2)).
- f_lower – Function defining the lower bound of the surface.
- f_upper – Function defining the upper bound of the surface.
- bounds_lower – Interval in which the f_lower function is defined.
- bounds_upper – Interval in which the f_upper function is defined.
- check – Whether to check if f_lower is always lower than f_upper.
- numpoints_check – Number of points used to check whether f_lower is always lower than f_upper
The surface of the intersection of the rectangle and the surface defined by f_lower and f_upper.
rotateCoords(coords, R)[source]¶
Rotate the list of points using rotation matrix R :param coords: List of points to be rotated :param R: Rotation matrix :return: List of rotated points
separation_in_list(separation_indices, separation_indices_list)[source]¶
Checks if the separation indices of a plane are already in the list :param separation_indices: list of separation indices (three arrays of integers) :param separation_indices_list: list of the list of separation indices to be compared to :return: True if the separation indices are already in the list, False otherwise
spline_functions(lower_points, upper_points, degree=3)[source]¶
Method that creates two (upper and lower) spline functions based on points lower_points and upper_points.
- lower_points – Points defining the lower function.
- upper_points – Points defining the upper function.
- degree – Degree for the spline function
A dictionary with the lower and upper spline functions.
