Ever heard of the lemon water cleanse? Health fads may come and go, but the myriad benefits that lemon water has to offer should be considered timeless for its endless practicality. Lemons are affordable, readily available, all natural, and absolutely packed with properties and nutrients that can aid your body both topically and internally.
Fresh lemon juice is rich in many nutrients that help clean up and replenish the body, allowing it to function more effectively. Lemons are packed with vitamin C, which is considered essential to support the immune system's ability to fight off infections and disease. Nutritionists consider their juices helpful in enhancing the function of enzymes that stimulate the liver to detoxify blood more effectively, paving the way to radiant, blemish-free skin. The flavonoids in lemons are among the important antioxidants that safely interact with free radicals, curtailing their ability to damage cells, aiding in the prevention of a range of ailments.
The pectin fiber in lemons provides a beneficial boost in maintaining colon health and helps maintain a balanced appetite, contributing to better digestion and weight loss. The fibers are rich in potassium, an electrolyte effective in regulating blood pressure and muscular function. To maximize these health benefits and many more, squeeze a lemon into a warm glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach right after you wake up.
Topically, lemon juice may be applied to the skin and hair as an aid for both beauty and wellness. After shampooing, rinsing hair in lemon water adds brilliant shine with, some say, the benefit of dandruff prevention. A tip from ancient Roman beauties: add natural looking highlights by combing lemon juice through just-washed hair and relax in the sun as hair dries to a glossy shimmer.
With its antibacterial properties, lemon juice has a deserved reputation as a great home remedy to soothe scratchy throats. Minor skin irritations can benefit from lemon juice as well. Lemon can even help to clean and lighten nails, soften dry elbows, and freshen breath. Who knew something as simple as a lemon could do so much good?

HOT WELLS, TEXAS. Hot Wells was a resort and railroad community on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad twenty-four miles southeast of Sierra Blanca in southeastern Hudspeth County. It was founded before 1912, when a post office was established there. John Hackett, the first postmaster, was also the proprietor of the Hot Wells Bath House and Town Site. In 1914 the town's twenty inhabitants included Mrs. S. M. Ballew, proprietor of a hotel, and H. O. Jett and Sons, cattle breeders. By the mid-1920s the community's estimated population had fallen to ten; it continued to be reported at that level until the mid-1940s, when it rose to twenty-five, but around that time maps of the area indicated that abandoned dwellings outnumbered those still in use. The Hot Wells post office closed in 1936. The community name was shown on maps of the area through the late 1980s, although the community had apparently ceased to exist by the mid-1950s.

640. Will you be advising the Secretary of State
to reject the London Plan?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) No. I think the right
thing to do is to wait for the whole process to be gone through,
and see what the plan is.
641. In what circumstances would the Secretary
of State consider rejecting the Plan?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) He would consider rejecting
it if it was inconsistent with national planning policy in a material
642. Would he take into account what public
opinion was thought to be, or the views of the boroughs?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) He would obviously take
into account what the consultation had produced, but if there
was a clear conflict between national policy guidance and that
which was in the regional spatial strategy that the Mayor had
produced, then he would direct that the relevant spatial strategy
be changed.
643. If there was a conflict between the regional
strategy and the local strategies, what would the Secretary of
State do?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) He would have to form
a view in relation to it, but if the elected body had concluded
this was the right course and it was not inconsistent with national
policy, then that body, which has been charged with producing
the regional spatial strategy, should decide.
644. Most of our witnesses prefer clusters of
tall buildings rather than pepper-potting. What is your preference?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Whether clusters is the
right course or whether singleton tall buildings is the right
course will depend upon the circumstances in each individual case.
645. There were also suggestions that tall buildings
should be developed in Croydon or in Docklands. Do you have any
views on where tall buildings should be located?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) I do not have a view in
relation to that. If a case can be made out for that and the usual
requirements that I have referred to, about good design, sustainability,
transport etc, are met, then there is no reason in principle why
a case should not be made for tall buildings there.
Christine Russell: English Heritage, who gave
evidence this morning, have listed a number of what one can only
describe as exceedingly unpopular buildings, like Centre Point.
Does this undermine your confidence in English Heritage?
646. For example, it is said that some of the
unique buildings that English Heritage have listed are unique
because no one would build them again, because they are a disaster!
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) I am quite loath to be
drawn on my personal opinion on particular buildings.
647. That is not fair. The Mayor told us how
much he had enjoyed the sitting in Centre Point when it was built
and now how much he admired the building. Would you not like to
tempt your views on Centre Point?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) No, I would not, if you
do not mind. The question was, does it undermine one's confidence
in English Heritage that they, as it were, support buildings like
Centre Point, which have been so unpopular. English Heritage have
got to express their views about what they think is a good building,
what a building worth preserving is or what they think about new
buildings that are not yet built but are proposed to be built.
They are advisers on the heritage. We can either take their advice
or not, as the case may be.
648. Anyway, we quite often will not know what
their advice is, will we?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Subject to what the further
consultation is and what I am allowed to say subsequently, I hope
we do find out.
649. Can I elicit your views on architects?
Of course, many of the horrors of the 60s were pushed through
at the time as being superb examples of avant garde architecture.
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Yes. People now are much,
much more conscious of the quality of design. People want to live
in houses that they feel much more comfortable in than houses
that were built in the 60s and 70s. Much higher standards of design
and architecture are, I think, expected by the people who actually
use these buildings, whether they be public buildings, office
buildings, or residencies.
650. So you are saying we will not get 21st
century monstrosities because the level and involvement of the
public is far greater now? You have faith in the public.
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) I think people are much
more conscious of these issues than they have been in the past.
I certainly cannot say that we will not get monstrosities in the
future, but I think people are much, much more conscious of what
buildings look like and how they affect their lives.
651. Can we move on to the safety requirements
for tall buildings. You did mention at the outset that this review
is now in process. Can you perhaps tell the Committee a little
bit more about it and what time-scale you are working to?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) There is material coming
from the States about what they are discovering about the events
of 11 September, which are obviously important. I do not know
what the time-scale is in relation to that. There is the group
chaired by the Institute of Structural Engineers which has got
representation from central Government on it. I do not what their
time-span is, but they are both looking at the issues, as it were,
off their own bat and also seeking to take account of what they
learn from America. So we are, in a sense, waiting for them to
produce. I cannot tell you what the time-span is. I think you
have heard from Mr Roberts, who is the Chairman of the group,
last week, and we would envisage, basically, acting as soon as
is reasonable upon the views that they take. One has got to act
with reasonable expedition, but it is something that needs quite
considerable thought.
There is also one other group, the Building
Disaster Assessment Group chaired by Her Majesty's Fire Inspectorate,
which is looking at issues such as evacuation procedures and whether
there should be different evacuation procedures and evacuation
requirements depending on whether you are higher than 30 metres
or even more than that.
652. But could you not do something about that
now without having to wait for the American research because,
yes, we were told I think perhaps by Mr Roberts, that the evacuation
criteria, if that is what it is called, for instance for sports
stadiums, are far more stringent than for tall buildings where
you have to get everyone out of Old Trafford within eight minutes?
Could we not act?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) I think there are certain
things that would not depend on information from the United States
of America. We have got to decide whether we do need to act pretty
quickly in relation to those. We want proper advice, we want to
consider the ramifications before we act on it.
653. Could we ask you about fire and buildings
regulations. Why are you not asking for the EC Construction Products
Directive, which proposes introducing a requirement that "products
used in the construction of buildings, for the protection of occupants
of the buildings from fire, should not smoke excessively"?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Why are we not asking
the Products Directive?
654. You are not asking that these extra things
should be built in although the EC Construction Products Directive
is something you are going to have to deal with?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) We are certainly in touch
with the people responsible for the development of the design
codes, including both the British Standards Institution and those
involved in Europe in the development of Euro Codes in relation
to those sorts of issues. If there are particular bodies that
we are not in touch with obviously we should get in touch with
them as quickly as possible.
655. Various European countries have apparently
issued national standards and you are not proposing to do so.
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Presumably because there
are already British standards that apply, although they may not
be legally enforceable, and in some cases there are Euro standards
that apply. The overall answer to your question is if there are
particular codes or standards that we should be considering that
we are not then obviously we should get on to that. If there are
particular cases please let me know and we shall write.
Mrs Dunwoody: I shall be delighted to do so.
I apologise.
656. Can I ask your opinion on whether or not
you feel tall buildings should be required, as indeed sports stadia
are, to have annual safety inspections?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) One of the things that
needs to be looked at is the regularity of safety inspections.
I do not know whether annual is the right period and I do not
know whether or not it should be different depending on the particular
height and size of the building. Equally, I am not sure whether
one should just be focusing on tall buildings or on any buildings
where there are great conflagrations of people, for example sports
stadia, for example exhibition centres.
657. But the point is that sports stadia are
clearly covered by regulations which specify an annual inspection.
As we understand it, tall buildings have to be approved in terms
of safety by the fire people when they are built but not after
that. Is it not logical that at least at some point there should
be further checks to see that modification or, as Mrs Dunwoody
has just pointed out, materials that are brought into the buildings
do not change the fire safety case?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) I am not sure what the
answer to that is because I do not know whether the Fire Inspectorate
or the Health & Safety Executive would say the right course
is to inspect as and when they think there might be an issue.
Mrs Dunwoody: You have not laid down even to
the standards that other EuropeanI rarely find myself in
the situation of quoting other European nations
Chairman: I was a little puzzled!
Mrs Dunwoody: But the situation is that apparently
we are not issuing national requirements to conform even with
the limits set in the EC fire test for the generation of smoke
and fumes. It is terribly important.
658. Would you like to let us have a note on
this in due course?
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) Could I? I have only got
to the stage where there is a group looking at this. I am not
sure what the right answer to it is.
659. If I could put to you a series of questions.
We are concerned about the timing of these things. It is nice
to have fire groups set up looking at them but, frankly, it would
be helpful if the Committee could put to you a series of questions.
(Lord Falconer of Thoroton) That is fine. Mr Ellis
has passed me a note. Buildings are the subject of routine inspections
by fire brigades, but I do not know the regularity of that. I
do not know whether it would differ from place to place and I
do not know whether or not pressures on individual fire services

Rough and dead-looking hair is not what anyone wants at all. These seven masks are meant to repair your rough and dry hair so that your hair looks as good as new.
Rough hair not only feels rough to the touch, it also looks really bad and lacks shine. And we all know that shiny hair looks really good. This is a huge problem faced mostly by people who are trying to grow their hair really long.
Longer hair needs a lot more attention than hair that is shorter and it also tends to get damaged faster, becoming rough, prone to breakage and full of split ends. But does that mean that you should give up on growing your hair? No, these homemade masks for rough hair are all you need.
A lot of women shy away from growing their hair longer because of how difficult it would be to maintain it. But these homemade masks for rough hair would have you sorted. All you need to do is treat your hair to these masks once a week!
Here are the homemade masks to help repair your rough hair.
1. Egg Mask:
All you need to do for this homemade hair mask for rough hair is to separate the whites of two eggs from the yolks and apply the whites throughout the length of your hair. Pull all your hair into a shower cap and keep it on for an hour. Wash after this to reveal soft, smooth hair.
2. Fruit Mask:
Mix mashed bananas with mashed avocados to make a fruit mask to condition your rough hair. You can even add a little bit of oil of your choice for further moisture.
3. Mayonnaise:
If you can get over the smell of this, it is one of the best homemade masks for rough hair. You can add a few drops of lavender essential oil to help get rid of the smell. Wash this off after an hour to reveal beautiful shiny hair.
4. Yogurt:
Yogurt provides moisture and shine to the hair and this makes it one of the simplest home remedies for rough hair. Just apply it on your hair and wash and condition after half an hour. This would show best results if you do it every week.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar:
This is the easiest home remedy for rough hair. All you have to do is use diluted apple cider vinegar as a last rinse after you shampoo your hair. This would give you hair that is super soft and shiny. Do this after every head wash.
6. Egg and Olive Oil Mask:
To add even more shine to your hair, mix eggs with olive oil. The olive oil helps add moisture and shine to the hair, something that rough hair really lacks.
7. Coconut Milk Mask:
This is one of the few homemade hair masks for rough hair that smells good too. Mix a few drops of coconut oil to fresh coconut milk and that's it. Apply it all over your hair. Keep this on for at least an hour. Be very careful with this mask as it is very runny and could drip.

Unanswered: Undo a Split Database ?
Is there anyway I can undo a "split" database ? I understand the need for a split so I can work on the forms, reports, macros etc off site. Then load the updated reports back in by an overwrite.
BUT is there anyway I can undo or quit this linked action and have a revert back to an original NON-Linked database again?
I need to create and add a couple of tables with Make Tables query's, so I can have the designed and used forms read from the joined new table and add records into the main database form. trouble is: I can't work with a new table and still have the old one linked with the "Splitter".
When I do it now with the split tables in effect. The form will complete the entry's into the desired fields on the form, but they don't put it into the Main Database table.
If there is a way to revert. I can always re-split later when I am ready to carry the database into another computer away from my home working computer.
Thank you so much for any help. This 77 year young, senior will really appreciate any information given me

Here is what to do
Open up the database that has the tables stored in it. Then go to File, Import, Get External Data. Now find your database that has the forms in it and select it. Now you will see a screen with some tabs such as Forms, Queries, Reports, Macros etc. Click on each tab and select all. This will select all your forms, queries, reports, macros, etc. Once they are all selected, Click Ok. It will now import the front end database back into the backend database. You can rename the file after you are finished back from mydb_be.mdb to mydb.mdb and continue making your changes to the tables. Then you can split the db again or leave as is.
Hope this helps.

Go to File - Import - Get External Data, locate the front end file and, as Myle said, Import all objects, i.e. forms, reports, queries, etc, from it.
If the Database Splitter was used originally, the back end will have a name like FileName_be.mdb.
To find the front end, you'd look for a file named simply FileName.mdb.

Broccoli had tiny flies inside!!
The Broccoli had tiny flies (dead) inside when I cut the florets off. I noticed it when I was rinsing them in water as there was lots of tiny black dots all over the stem and thats when on closer inspection I noticed the tiny dead flies. I found 4 in total and stopped looking and chucked it in the bin. Will not be buying this again!

I mean i've been there and done that plenty of times, however this time there were situations in which the stylesheet needed to be registered if my control was included in an updatepanel and kept invisible during inital load, while enabling it only upon a partial postback. TRICKY TRICKY TRICKY!
More over, there is an old bug opened and closed with a reason "this is by design". Seems awkward to me that this is by design and only effects IE :-(
The url to the bug report is here :
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { base.OnInit(e); ScriptManager sm = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page); if (!sm.IsInAsyncPostBack) { string css = string.Format("<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"{0}\" type=\"text/css\" />", ResolveUrl(CssClassFile)); ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, typeof(MyBlahControl), "MyBlahId", css, false); } }
Update 01/01/2008 : Please read the first two comments below. CSS contianment from within the <body element violates xhtml specs and as such here is an update that includes the css in the <head section. Thanks to Ram Krisna for pointing out/commenting this.
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { base.OnInit(e); ScriptManager sm = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page); if (!sm.IsInAsyncPostBack) { HtmlLink l = new HtmlLink(); l.Href = ResolveUrl(CssClassFile); l.Attributes.Add("rel", "stylesheet"); l.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css"); Page.Header.Controls.Add(l); } }
A simplified test of what I feel is an open bug and should be fixed can be seen below. After clicking the button, the style applied to the label is lost and happens only in IE7, donno about previous versions since i have not tested :
<%@ Page Language="C#" %> <script runat="server"> protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // do something } </script> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"> </asp:ScriptManager> <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> <!-- Note below that for simplicity i am not using an external stylesheet. Anyway, even with an external style sheet the result is the same. The style is not applied after partial postback --> <style type="text/css"> .MakeGreen{background-color:green;} </style> <asp:Label ID="Label1" CssClass="MakeGreen" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Partial refresh" OnClick="Button1_Click" /> </ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel> </div> </form> </body> </html>

Majorcan Rafael Nadal wrestles top spot from Roger Federer after three years of being number two.4 August 2008
MADRID - At last, the coup de grâce.
Capping an amazing run of 32 straight victories and five consecutive tournament wins, Rafael Nadal has achieved the seemingly unachievable by wrestling the number one spot from the despairing grip of Roger Federer.
That the Majorcan has to wait until the ATP rankings computer rubber stamps his ascendancy on 18 August - and that his first game as number one in-waiting ended in defeat - will do little to remove the gloss that Nadal has been applying to his status since he dismantled Federer in Paris in June's French Open final.
The denouement arrived on Friday, a 7-6, 6-1 victory over Nicolas Lapentti guaranteeing Nadal's investment as number one and making him the second-youngest player after Lleyton Hewitt to reach the sport's zenith.
On Saturday, he was reminded that there remain serious pretenders to the throne. Federer will be back for more and Novak Djokovic, the 6-1, 7-5 victor over Nadal in the semi-final of the Cincinnati Masters, is arguably the best hard-court player of them all right now.
Indeed, Nadal has had to pay as much heed to the Serb's challenge for the number-two spot as he has on deposing Federer. Twice during 2007, Nadal has been a lost game away from being the world's number three. Twice he has been mathematically within reach of number one.
With fewer points to defend than Federer and Djokovic at the US Open, Nadal's tenure should last longer than Spain's two previous incumbents, Carlos Moyà (1999, two weeks), and Juan Carlos Ferrero (2003, eight weeks), but the irresistible form of Djokovic will require the Spaniard to be at his best for the rest of the season. Federer, meanwhile, will be determined to retain his one remaining Grand Slam title.
"Rafa deserves all the credit, because the first thing he had to do was defend his number-two position against Djokovic," said Federer last week. "Since then, he has been on an amazing winning streak."
A three-way end-of-season joust is inevitable. It remains to be seen who will be left standing but for now, deservedly, Nadal reigns.

My assisted HB Questions...(long!)

Hey there -
I am considering homebirth for a multitude of reasons (was SO close to natural birth with DS - know I can do it myself without nurses and drs trying to drug me, comfort of home, etc).
Anyway, my doula, who is also a licensed midwife, is coming over this weekend to talk to DH and I about homebirth and answer our questions. Just thought i would run my list of questions by all you since there are so many HB vets on here:
How much does it cost?
$2500 is the norm
Does insurance usually pay?
No, but depends on the state
What medical supplies/instruments will be on hand?
She can answer that one, she'll prob bring various hemostats and scissors for clamping and the cord
What medical supplies will I need to buy? And where?
Probably just a birht kit, I got mine from Precious Arrows
How do we make sure I stay hydrated during labor?
Water, or juice, I chugged gatorade like it was going out of stule
How do you recommend we handle Tyler (he will be 15/16 months) during active birth?
If you don't want to send him away then have someone *likeminded* to come care for him while you labor and birth
How often will cervical checks be done?
Only as often as you feel are necessary, my MW only checked when I asked
Where do most women end up delivering? (bed, floor, stool, tub, etc?) How do we prepare that place to avoid mess and horrible clean-up? Lots of plastic sheets or shower curtains on the floor, there really isn't that much mess though the water breaking makes a mess, but it's not hard to clean. You deliver where you end up if you ask me, we spent 12 hours fililng my birth tub, and I had him in bed, go figure. Wherever you are most comfortable will be the place you gravitate to.
How many birth assistants (midwife/doula) will be on hand?
How do we handle the medical waste (placenta/cord, etc)?
Unless you want a lotus birht. Throw it away, or freeze it if you aren't going to use it within a few says, all the same rules apply as raw meat
How do we handle Vitamin K shot, baby weight?
You don't need the shot unless you really think it's necessary, MW will have a baby scale
How do we get a birth certificate?
Vital records will send you a form upon request
At what point do we go to a hospital if we have to?
Well, when you have to, if you have to. The only things I would personally transfer for are cord prolapse that would be better dealt with un a hospital, bhowever, I have faith in my MW to handle that at home, basically they are so fewer complications in home, that you don't have much to worry about.
When does the midwife and doula leave?
When everything is cleaned up
How do we do the hearing test (can they do that at the ped's office)?
yes, my MW had the machine and did it at my PP visit
What about after care for me (giant maxis, pads for the bed)?
Same as last time darlin, maxi pads, maybe keep some chux pads handy, i plastic sheeted my bed before the birrth
What if I tear? They said I had internal tears with Ty, and they did give me a couple of stitchs (which I can still feel). She can stitch you if you need it[/b]
You asked great questions, so I just thought I would answer them and maybe they will lead to more, hth!

|Toshiba NB520
At the heart of the Toshiba NB520 is its Dual Core Intel processor, which boosts multimedia performance. A 1080p display and LED backlighting deliver twice the graphics performance of its predecessor, while a 320 GB hard disk holds plenty of music, video, games, and photographs. On top of the unit's extended battery life of up to nine hours, the NB520 has two unique innovations, USB Sleep-and-Charge and Sleep-and-Music, which allow users to charge devices or play music when the computer is off. Perhaps the most heralded feature of the Toshiba NB520 is its sound, as integrated Harman Kardon speakers and Dolby Advanced Audio deliver top-of-the-line clarity. The laptop's HDMI port allows for easy connection to a television set or other screen to allow for HD screening, while three USB 2.0 ports and an SD card reader facilitate file sharing. The ultra-thin, easy-to-carry laptop weighs just 1.32 kg and is available in a rainbow of fun, vibrant colours.
|Asus U36JC
The ultra slim ASUS U36 is the first 19-mm laptop in the world to include a standard-voltage Intel CPU. Weighing just 1.44 kg with a four-cell battery, the unit delivers up to 10 hours of battery life. Asus Super Hybrid Engine technology provides a boost in power whenever the computer needs it. A lightweight, magnesium alloy cover case combines with nanometre coating to provide a look that is as stylish and smart as it is professional. Unique thermal technology keeps the computer cool, both inside and to the touch. Movies, games, and business presentations all look better on the Asus U36JC's 33.8-cm screen, with its 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and graphics-enhancing a Nvidia GeForce 310M 1.53 GHz GPU.
MSI bills its gaming-oriented GT680 as having "the latest second generation Intel Core i7 processor," which suggests the power this portable computer holds. Designed for high-end gaming, the GT680 is fully 75 per cent faster than its peers. Faster data and information processing comes from the Turbo Drive Engine (TDE) Technology. Games and videos look better with the NVIDIA GTX460M discrete graphics card, which also offers BDDR5 1.0 GB of power. Even intelligent sound simulation and advanced light systems are easy with the GT680. Dual SATA hard drives and 1TB of storage allow for more including more games, more DVDs, and more music, simply more entertainment. Should the need arise for additional processing or storage capacity, users can easily upgrade to 16 GB.
|HP Envy 17-1195ea
The HP Envy 17-1195ea's 44-cm size outranks similar models on the market, allowing for a full screen of images, video, and text. 3D technology aligns with Beats by Dr. Dre technology for stunning sight and sound. The laptop's high performance comes from its quad-core, 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, 6TB of RAM, and ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics card. Measuring 1920x1080 pixels, the screen is generously sized and vibrantly sharp, the perfect display for the latest action movies. Although the unit's 3.4 kg weight makes it less portable than other models, the extra-large display makes up for it. Users can easily create with a comfortable keyboard and large trackpad.
|Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook
A lightweight composition, thin construction, and MacBook Air-like design combine to make the Acer Aspire S3 one of the hottest ultrabook laptops around, and at a notably lower price than its closest competitors. The Acer's touchpad is large and clickable, making it responsive and easy to operate. In terms of size and storage capacity, this Ultrabook includes a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 2467 M processor, 4 GB of memory, Intel HD3000 graphics card, and 1366 x 768-pixel display. A quick start-up allows the user to get to work faster, whether that means compiling a report on company sales or creating the next YouTube sensation. Two USB ports and an SD card slot enable file sharing, while one HDMI port provides HDTV connectivity.

Principal Consultant
TL Consulting, LLC
Silver Spring, Md
I have been consulting and contracting on SOA, Java, J2EE, and Content Management System (CMS) projects. In addition to the J2EE work, I have implemented a variety of SOA architectures and integrations for a handful of CMS's and various content delivery front ends, to include .Net. I have been on multiple projects at a time sometimes spanning multiple customers. Additionally, I'm frequently contracted to work as part of proposal teams and span public and private industries.
Project Experience:
In January 2006 I started to work with a large (1B+) and growing biotech pharmaceutical company on a global and enterprise document management system project. I am working as the document management SME in the IT solutions design and delivery project team. I am working with the whole IT department to understand how we may be better design, deliver, and support an enterprise wide document management system. The proposed project carries many content integration points to other enterprise systems.
In July 2004 I worked with a prime contractor to win an economically impactful federal project. I wrote the technical part of a presentation then presented it, in an orals completive process, to GSA and USDA program managers. We were awarded a start date of August 1. I am engaged as the Enterprise Architect on a contract at the USDA, building a Content Managed Portal. We are utilizing WebSphere Portal, FileNet's Content Manager, and defining a SOA. On this project I designed the system to accommodate for FileNet based content as well as many raw commodity data feeds. This portal is a strategic initiative from the Office of the Chief Economist to allow a One Stop Shop Portal to all USDA commodities data. The phases included a fully functional prototype, as well as, defining SOA interfaces into the prototype's applications data warehouse.
In December 2004 I concluded an engagement utilizing an all-open source (OSS) API's and products. As the Technical Architect, duties included; Team building, creating and maintaining the project plan, leading requirements gathering, leading requirements modeling sessions, while utilizing many agile and XP methodologies. The project consists of converting a DOS and dbase based application to a web application, utilizing JBOSS, Struts, hibernate, xdoclet, ant, and eclipse. Additionally, we integrated with several existing web based applications. Utilizing several OSS, we were able to implement many XP development techniques to include: unit first development, refectoring of code, more frequent iteration cycles, and we developed quicker and with fewer errors. This was an on going engagement with several iterations and new requirements were drafted to the team, daily. The project finished successfully on time and on budget.
For over 21 months I was engaged at National Education Association. For the NEA I was the Lead BEA WebLogic developer. Some of the duties performed consisted of mentoring, OOAD, requirement validation, systems installation, tuning, and integration architectures. The project we integrated a WebLogic Portal cluster with a Content Management Solution from Documentum. We implemented and customized products to serve as an enterprise level content management and personalized delivery service. When the application went to production, the team defined a strategy to implement an SOA. JAAS driver for authenticating user in the BEA WebLogic domain against Documentum, were written for a custom J2EE Documentum web application, and exposed this as a service to the enterprise as a service for future applications. For this JAAS driver we utilized the Documentum Foundation Classes (DFC) and its Business Object Framework (BOF). At the NEA, we used several Open Source products like NetBeans, CVS, Poseidon UML, and Ant. Towards the end of my engagement at the NEA I worked with IT developers to architect a web services integration layer for their various existing and new applications.
Over the last several years I have assisted several smaller companies and non-profits as a Technical Architect and Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Content Management Systems and personalized content delivery strategies. On these engagements, I have performed a variety requirements consisting of, but not limited to; requirements gathering, mentoring, vendor coordination and selection, proof of concept lead, assisting with vendor contract negations, network architecture, OOAD, data dictionary creation, and others. The products selected and implemented include but are not limited to CMS products such as Interwoven, Percussion, Zope, and WebUI front end systems such as custom .NET and J2ee applications, Zope, and BEA WebLogic Portal.
During January 2002 to April 2002, I worked with a local CMS product company called eGrail. While working with eGrail I assisted the professional service department to perform a variety of requirements, i.e. installation and upgrades. Additionally, while working with eGrail I developed perl and php classes and functions to extend the functionality of their base product. I also learned and worked with their XML transformation engine, the eGrail Aggregation module. I performed these duties on several engagements for eGrail.
In August 2001 for 5 months I architected and lead development on an implementation of Interwoven Teamsite for a large client in Monterrey, Mexico. As a technical lead, I lead a team of four to implement the Teamsite product. I architected Interwoven's content management system and its integration's with external products and services. We performed user interviews, functional requirements, technical architecture, development, and user training. This implementation interfaced with a Tibco portal server and Factiva news feed service. Integrating with the syndicated news feed we developed an extensible customizable XML transformation engine. This transformation engine accepted Factiva XML content and converted it into a Teamsite DCR. The XML engine was architected to be expanded upon for a more "full featured" XML transformation engine as more contracts for incoming syndicated content we signed. The engine could be used for not only Factiva news feed but any XML news feed, i.e. Reuters, and put it into the Teamsite templateing engine. This project streamlined business process and created a more aware work force for iXL's multi national customer.
Other consulting jobs that I have been contracted for have included Unix, network, and Win2k administration, java class development, API development, and JSP tag library development. The JSP tag library accessed EJBs using JBOSS and tomcat.
July 2005 to December 2005
Principal Architect
Philadelphia, Pa
While at Anexinet I have worn many hats as I was assisting to start up a new Regional office. I worked as a Sales Engineer performing on many proposals, most including Oral presentation where I present the Technical Approach and Architecture piece.

China is a lot more cohesive and economcally powerful than the Soviet Union. Chinese also buy into a nationalistic rising china argument making it more similar to Japan prior to WWII than the Soviet Union. Basically a powerful china is not going do disappear. Instead , given some probable ups and downs in between such as an economic recession, they will gradually grow stronger.
In fact there are many simikarities such as Japan feeling it was being contained by the British and Americans at the time and that it had a right to an Asian empire and also needed the resources of the region to compete economically and militarily. The attack on pearl harbour was to speed up the existing plan as they had decided there would be a conflict sooner or later anyway.China isn't as aggressive as Japan outside of what it considers its core territories but it will try to make south East Asian countries into vassal states if it can.
Its definitely a real possibility that China could try to preempt American support for Taiwan by a rapid invasion if both sides continue to diverge. It is correct to say this is not realpolitik to the Chinese but will ultimately be a matter of nationalism. If they ever get a foothold in Taiwan we will never be free again.
It's Chinese empire building, and it needs to be named as such.
I think it's best to never say never, but it's hard to disagree with your basic point.
Preemption is the the only way to prevent a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and to preserve peace.
US already has access to and presence in Taiwan since 1945. US withdrawing (of force) from Taiwan invites an inevitable war and encourages territorial expansion by China in the South East quadrant in order to encircle Taiwan.
US deployment in Taiwan eliminates China's option to seek territorial expansion in the South East. China will have NO choice but to turn its attention to Russia.

To misquote Roy Keane, "Chalkboards this chalkboards that: why don't ya go and play with them?" Thanks, we will. Our exclusive interactive Chalkboards are as much fun as a person can have when they're not sleeping, and once again we've had plenty of entries this week, which we've whittled down to a top three. As always, first place wins a signed Premier League shirt, while our runners-up win the square root of the sweetest FA.
3) Modric's forward thinking
TheOldestCode looks at how Luka Modric's game has developed since the start of the season. "Luka Modric has had a chequered first season at Tottenham," he says. "Here's a skillful player adapting to another footballing culture: in his first game for the club, at Middlesbrough, he makes more successful passes in open play than in his most recent game at Blackburn - but the passes count for less, the majority of them backwards or square, covering less ground. Against Rovers he is more incisive - threading through-balls into channels from distance in a culture of quick, counter-attacking football."
"Luka Modric's steady adaptation to the English game is demonstrated by the fact that all four of his assists this season have come since the end of January," adds Opta's Duncan Alexander. "He is now the creative force that Tottenham fans were expecting."
Luka Modric's passing progression
2) The Heskey factor
Twin1 looks at the differences between the hold-up play of Emile Heskey and Mido, Wigan strikers past and present. "Wigan's first game without Heskey shows what's lacking from Mido as a replacement," he says. "Heskey's holding play in and around the box drew players into the danger area and allowed Amr Zaki the ball in the box that he thrives on. Mido is much less involved and more of a goalscorer than the support player Heskey was."
"It is worth noting that Mido has been the best striker in the Premier League this season at winning aerial duels with defenders," adds Duncan Alexander. "In second place is Emile Heskey, so it was perhaps no surprise that Steve Bruce favoured the Egyptian as a replacement for the England striker."

1) The joy of Cesc
This week's winner is renoog, who focuses on the differences in the passing of Denilson and Cesc Fabregas. "The return of Cesc Fabregas is a boost for Arsenal's creativity," says Duncan Alexander. "The Spaniard has assisted nine of Emmanuel Adebayor's goals since the start of last season, the most productive combination in the Premier League during that period."

* Saudi among last big bourses to allow direct foreign investment
* Move likely to start process of joining benchmark indexes
* This could take at least two years - MSCI researcher
* Benchmark inclusion could attract up to $24 billion - HSBC
By Karin Strohecker
LONDON, April 17 (Reuters) - As Saudi Arabia's $500 billion-plus bourse prepares to open its doors to foreigners in June, outside investors appear ready to accept the political and financial risks as they finally get access to a market that rivals Brazil and Russia's.
Worth more than all other Gulf Arab markets combined, it is one of the last major global bourses to allow direct investment from foreigners and the opening is the most anticipated economic reform in the region of recent times.
The move is likely to start the process of incorporating Saudi Arabia into major equity indices by the likes of MSCI, and this could attract as much as $24 billion in foreign capital, according to one estimate.
Foreigners will still not have unfettered access and definitive rules have yet to be published. And yet the prospect of market opening has already helped the Saudi stock index to outperform its Gulf peers over the past 12 months, as this graphic shows: link.reuters.com/cun29t
Nevertheless, the index is down 2.7 percent in the period as revenue from the Saudi oil industry, which accounts for more than 90 percent of government income, has shrivelled: link.reuters.com/xyb54w
Saudi involvement in the conflict in neighbouring Yemen has also heightened political risk. Yet even in combination with relatively high stock valuations, this seems to have done little to dispel investors' enthusiasm.
"Everyone wants to have a crack at Saudi Arabia," said Nick Smythie, chief investment strategist at Emerging Global Advisors. "It's the biggest market in the Middle East and a substantial country which offers exposure not just to energy but also to infrastructure, financials and other sectors."
While market capitalisations vary with stock prices and currency rates, the Saudi bourse is currently worth $528 billion compared with $600 billion for Brazil and $491 billion for Russia. It features the world's largest chemicals producer, Saudi Basic Industries Corp, and Saudi Telecom Co , the Gulf's biggest telecoms operator.
At the moment foreigners have access to the market only through swaps and exchange-traded funds, and the opening has been slower than many investors expected.
In August last year, the Capital Markets Authorities (CMA) published draft rules governing the opening of its bourse to so-called qualified foreign investors and started consultations.
These proposed foreign ownership be capped at 10 percent of the market's total value and 20 percent of any particular stock. A single foreign investor could own no more than 5 percent of any listed company.
Final rules will be published on May 4 and the market will open by June 15, the CMA said on Thursday.
"We have been excited about Saudi Arabia for 10 years so we are not holding our breath - they will move at their own speed and requirement," said Smythie.
Some investors had hoped the final rules could be published further ahead of May 12, when index provider MSCI announces semi-annual changes to its benchmarks and could start the process of including Saudi Arabia in its indexes that track stocks in emerging markets or frontier markets - a less developed and higher risk sub-set of emerging economies.
The process could take a minimum of two years, said Pavlo Taranenko, vice president and senior researcher at MSCI, adding that the company could make announcements at any time.
"We have to make sure that market is sufficiently acceptable in terms of a number of parameters and that our index is investable and replicable," said Taranenko.
MSCI launched a provisional Saudi index based on the draft rules. If this were used as the basis for incorporation into its emerging markets index, Saudi Arabia would have a 1.5-2 percent weighting, meaning it would at least match Turkey's current weighting and be bigger than Poland and Chile's.
Weightings depend not only on overall market size, but also other factors including access for foreign investors. Brazil currently has a 7.7 percent weighting and Russia 3.9 percent.
With $1.7 trillion benchmarked against MSCI's emerging market index as of last June, the inclusion of any country in a leading index attracts large sums from investment funds.
HSBC estimates that Saudi joining the MSCI's or FTSE's emerging index at a weighting of almost 2 percent could generate inflows of $4 billion from funds tracking such benchmarks.
If the country were to be classified as an emerging market in global benchmark indices, active and passive inflows could add up to as much as $24 billion, HSBC added in a recent note.
Flows are difficult to predict. Data for Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, both upgraded to emerging market status by MSCI in May 2014, show active fund flows built up about 6-9 month before their inclusion.
Amid the optimism, investors harbour some concerns about the Saudi bourse. "At the moment the operational efficiency of the exchange is not particularly good," said George Birch Reynardson of Somerset Capital Management, who has exposure to two Saudi companies. "If the new rules are too prohibitive, that could have some impact."
Saudi authorities require parties to use the same broker to buy and sell a stock and stipulate same-day settlement, making it difficult for those in different time zones.
Reynardson is also watching stock valuations closely. "They are a little bit demanding, especially on the consumer side, but there are some good opportunities as well, in the construction sector for example," he said.
But none of this seems to deter investors from a buying into an economy forecast by the IMF to grow 3 percent in 2015.
"This year is not as clear cut as previous years due to lower oil prices," said Michael Daoud, head of Middle East equities at brokerage firm Auerbach Grayson. "But the market opening up to qualified foreign investors will provide a short term catalyst." (Additional reporting by Sujata Rao, graphics by Vincent Flasseur; editing by David Stamp)

Check out the find that cat Facebook app for Groupon to score $5 off any $5+ purchase. This was a must have for me because Groupon usually always posts the local theater deals for Cinetopia on there for $19.95 which includes 2 tickets to any movie including 3d in any theater at any location + a beverage voucher. So, essentially because of this cat challenge, I got it for only $14.95 – score!!
Note 1 regarding finding the cat: You cannot see the cat in the default view that has multiple tiles. Only when your cursor hovers over the tiles and a tile is enlarged will you be able to see the cat. You do not need to actually click on each picture to see the cat – just hover your cursor over the tiles.
Note 2 regarding finding the cat: The cat's position varies from game to game, as expected.
Tip regarding finding the cat: Go row by row or column by column and keep an eye out for a large green object. The green cat should take up approximately 20% of the bottom right corner of a tile.
Note regarding the terms of the discount: Once you find the cat and proceed to the Groupon page, you do not need to place the order immediately. The terms state, "Special Discount You have $5 to use on any one Groupon deal of $5 or more! It's time to get shopping – this offer expires on October 24.

Glenview, village, Cook county, northeastern Illinois, U.S. It is a suburb of Chicago, located 20 miles (30 km) north of downtown, and lies on the north branch of the Chicago River. Illinois and later Potawatomi Indians were early inhabitants of the area, which was visited by French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673. Glenview Road follows a Native American trail leading from the Des Plaines River to Lake Michigan. The Native American peoples gradually ceded their lands, and through the Treaty of Chicago (1833) they surrendered their final claims to lands in northern Illinois. Settlement began in 1833, and the community was first named South Northfield. It was later known as North Branch, Oak Glen, and Hutchings before adopting its present name in 1895. Development of the village, which was originally an agricultural centre, was stimulated by the establishment in 1940 of the Glenview Naval Air Station (closed 1995). Glenview is now primarily residential, though it has some light industry, notably publishing, food processing, and toolmaking. Local attractions include The Grove, with a 19th-century schoolhouse and log cabin, and Hartung's License Plate and Auto Museum, with some 150 antique cars, trucks, motorcycles, and tractors. A folk festival is held annually (October). Nearby James Woodworth Prairie, a 5-acre (2-hectare) tract, is the state's only undisturbed black-soil prairie known to remain and a valuable subject for botanical research. Inc. 1899. Pop. (2000) 41,847; (2010) 44,692.

Buying Educational Resources
by Beverley Paine
extract from Learning Materials for the Homeschooling
The following set of questions can be helpful in determining the value of curriculum resources and materials, educational aids and toys:
Home educators tend to use and adapt ideas they've seen work elsewhere and some even make their own `student workbooks', ducational games and aids. In addition to being tailored to the learning need at hand the children can have input into the making process, thus learning or practicing valuable skills in many curriculum areas. It's easy to fall prey to the prevalent cultural belief that learning must be fun, or to peer pressure from other families to buy the latest whiz-bang educational toy or game. Advertising and attractive packaging are designed to convince us that our children need these products to progress educationally. It pays to look out look for simple and inexpensive alternatives, or to make them at home. The money saved can then be spent on something of real value that you wouldn't normally be able to afford.
