BMW No Cost Maintenance Program Updates
|The BMW No-Cost Maintenance Program will no longer be transferable beginning with all MY15 vehicles retailed on or after July 1, 2014
|This transferability change allows BMW to continue to offer our industry leading No-Cost Maintenance Program to new car customers where the value resonates most. At the same time, it strengthens the exclusivity of the BMW network and creates a fertile new profit opportunity for BMW dealers in the Pre- Owned space.
|What It Means:
|From July 1, 2014, all BMW customers who purchase or lease a new MY15 BMW will continue to enjoy all the benefits of the Program as it is currently configured for up to 4 years/50K miles. However, the Program will no longer be transferable to the subsequent owner(s).

Ninety-Nine Bottles Of Beer
August 5, 2011
We've been working hard for the last few exercises, and it is Friday, so we'll have a little bit of fun. You all know the song, right?
Your task is to write a program that prints the lyrics to the popular song "Ninety-Nine Bottles Of Beer;" if this program seems too simple for you, make your solution as outlandish as you can — I definitely want to see a solution in Intercal or Brainf*ck. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

First time poster. But I'll give it a shot.
using System;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
for (int number = 99; number > 0; number–)
int nextNumber = number – 1;
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} of beer on the wall, {0} {1} of beer…", number, number > 1 ? "bottles":"bottle" );
Console.WriteLine("Take one down, pass it around {0} {1} of beer on the wall.", nextNumber, nextNumber != 1 ? "bottles" : "bottle");
}//end for
August 6, 2011 at 4:02 AM
Try that again.
using System; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { for (int number = 99; number > 0; number--) { int nextNumber = number - 1; Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} of beer on the wall, {0} {1} of beer...", number, number > 1 ?

Implementations in a zillion languages, including Brainf*ck and INTERCAL:
August 8, 2011 at 10:55 AM
My implementation, which uses C++ template metaprogramming with the Boost MPL library, generates the text of the song at compile time.
It also generates english words instead of digits (i.e. "forty-four" instead of "44"). Not sure if that was part of the brief or not – wasn't too hard to implement anyway.
August 9, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Some timing… I recently wrote two versions of the "song"
August 13, 2011 at 1:46 AM
I once SSH'd into my roommate's mac and ran this little bash script while I was at work and he was home alone.
for ((i=99; i>0 ; i–));
let "j = i – 1";
say $i bottles of beer on the wall;
say $i bottles of beer;
say take one down ;
say pass it around;
say $j bottles of beer on the wall;
Then I denied all knowledge of it, and told him the computer must have just been really bored.

if num == 0:

Mobile Stylist in Roodepoort before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hair Services is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Not All Dogs Benefit From A Summer Haircut or Shave Down
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Hair Stylist hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
The Five Vital Reasons to Opt for Mobile Spa Services
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Mobile Stylist in Roodepoort ?
Hairdressing by definition is the styling of ones hair employing various techniques including hair cutting, hair colouring, styling and various hair treatment options. This is usually executed by qualified and professionally trained people in the art of styling and cutting hair.
One would normally visit a hairdressing or beauty salon to have this performed however it is common today to have home visits as well by a mobile hairdresser. Hairdressing involves using a number of tools to complete the job such as hair straighteners, hair dryers, hair clippers, trimmers as well as the several number of hair care products available to help attain that ultimate style. The most crucial item in a hairdressers toolbox is of course the scissors. There are practically dozens of different types of scissors available on the market and the hairdresser will have his or her favourite make and style. Of the numerous kinds offered you have the traditional standard scissors as well as kinds that thin the hair and left handed ones too.
In order to remain ahead of the competition a good hairdressing salon has to constantly update there staff members skills and knowledge. New styles are showing up constantly and having the means to provide the desired service will help your business develop. Customers will always prefer a salon that provides a substantial and varied choice, not simply for their hair and skin but also their budgets too. One last note to consider prior to getting any kind of hairdressing equipment is to be sure that it adheres to any required security standards.
The Five Vital Reasons to Opt for Mobile Spa Services

In most places on the African continent, multiple health care options exist and patients draw on a therapeutic continuum that ranges from traditional medicine and religious healing to the latest in biomedical technology. The ethnographically based essays in this volume highlight African ways of perceiving sickness, making sense of and treating suffering, and thinking about health care to reveal the range and practice of everyday medicine in Africa through historical, political, and economic contexts.
Carolyn Sargent is Professor of Anthropology and Affiliated Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. She is the author of Maternity, Medicine, and Power.
William C. Olsen lectures in the African Studies Program at Georgetown University. He is editor (with Walter E. A. van Beek) of Evil in Africa: Encounters with the Everyday (IUP).
"This volume covers much ground and gives a good orientation to readers who are totally new to the concept of medical pluralism and the range of healing modalities in Africa. I predict this book will be used widely in courses in anthropology, medical anthropology, African studies, and global health."

Albuquerque Toynbee Tile
A friend hipped me to the location of a Toynbee Tile in downtown Albuquerque on Tijeras just east of Third St. The message on this particular tile appears to be of the "Hades/anti-media" ilk and is partially missing:
In the early eighties when the tiles started appearing in Philadelphia, the message on these small, public screeds was:
Toynbee Tiles, or at least the first generation of them, seem to be the work of a single man who believed he had discovered the secret of immortality in the writings of historian Arnold Toynbee, found confirmation of this possibility in the death sequence at the end of the Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and felt an obsessive need to inform the human race that we could resurrect the dead. I can't remember what Jupiter has to do with it, but I like to think it's got something to do with Sun Ra.
The method for disseminating this concept, as well as other rants (mainly against "the media machine," sometimes anti-semitic, and often paranoid,) is to cut the message into linoleum tile, cover the edges of the tile with asphalt sealer and the top with tar paper -and proceed to drop it onto a busy street in the middle of the night, often in crosswalks. As vehicles drive over the tile, it is pushed into the street and eventually the paper comes off, revealing the message. Toynbee Tiles are found all over North America and in some parts of South America. There's an excellent, must-watch 2011 documentary film about the search for the Toynbee Tiler called "Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of The Toynbee Tiles."

Categorical Data Modeling
young park
posted on Monday, January 07, 2013 - 1:46 pm
I am conducting EFA and CFA with categorical items (binary items) using large sample. I got two latent factors through two step. I made one path model. My simple syntax is as follow:
usevariables are y3ses w wcluster x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 x10 c1 c2 c3 c4;
categorical are x1- x10;
pa_1 by x1 x2 x3 x4 x5;
pa_2 by x6 x7 x8 x9 x10;
read by c1 c2;
narra by c3 c4;
I got the good results about the above model; RMSEA=0.024, CFI/TLI=0.955/0.948, WRMR=1.048
Next, I would like to check the effect of SES (socio-economic status) as a covariate on read and narra. I put it into the syntax;
Read narra on SES
Then, I did get part of results and model fits were acceptable (RMSEA=0.031, CFI/TLI=0.927/0.916, WRMR=1.202). But I did get the standardized coefficients, but did not get s.e. and p-values.
Here are my questions:
Q1. In case of categorical and continuous variables, the WLSMV could be used in the model as an estimator. Is it right?
Q2. In this case of WLSMV, what are model fit indices? Could we only check the p-value, RMSEA, and CFI/TLI?
Q3. In this case (there are no standardized errors and p-values, but the standardized coefficients), what's wrong? Is it data or syntax problem?
I really appreciate you in advance.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. With WLSMV and a model with covariates, standard errors are not available.

posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 2:41 pm
Thank you so much.
I have one more question.
When a SES (socio-economic status, a continuous variable, ranging from -2.25 to 3.00) variable was added to one of predictors (not a covariate), we only got std coefficients. There were no SE and p-values. WLSMV was used as an estimator. After the SES variable was removed from the predictors, we could get STD coefficients, SE, and p-values.
What is the wrong?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 3:03 pm
A predictor is a covariate. This is why you don't get standard errors and p-values.
young park
posted on Monday, January 14, 2013 - 11:30 am
Hello Linda,
I always appreciate you.
I have questions about a model with covariates, using WLSMV. Although you gave me explanations, I am still confused. Sorry about it.
My mplus syntax is as follow:
Usevarables are y3ses w cluster x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 x10 c1 c2 c3 z1 z2 z3 z4;
Categorical are x1-x10;
!measurement model
Pa_1 by x1 x2 x3 x4 x5;
Pa_2 by x6 x7 x8 x9 x10;
Lang by z1 z2 z3 z4;
Read by c1 c2;
Narra by c3 c4;
!Path model
Read Narra on pa_1 pa_2 Lang;
Read Narra on y3ses;
As I told you, I did not get any std errors and p-values, adding ��y3ses (a continuous variable, ranging from -2.25 to 3.00) to a covariate in the model.
Here are my questions:
Q1. Is the reason we did not get std error estimates and p-values that the ��y3ses�� is a problematic variable? The y3ses ranges from -2.25 and 3.00 and is a negative and continuous variable. In our model, pa_1, pa_2, Lang, and y3ses are predictors and they are continuous.
Q2. If not so, does not a model with covariates and WLSMV provide any std errors and p-values regardless of types of variables (continuous, categorical, etc)?
Q3. If an observed item as a predictor is not applied, can we convert the observed item into a factor with single indicator?
Thank you so much.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - 6:32 am
1-2. It is because the model has covariates. With WLSMV, standard errors and p-values are not given for standardized results when the model has covariates. This does not indicate a problem.
3. A factor with a single indicator and residual variance of zero is identical to the observed variable so there is no reason to do this.

If the following is to be believed, it's newer than that:
Today I ran into a guy the has a 1897 Winchester "trench gun" and I have no idea of value and had some questions.
First the SN is 10105** and blued finish, he says it's a 1943 vintage military. I thought that vintage was parked????, duno? I've found all kind of conflicting info and don't know where to look for straight answers on them,,,,,
any body know about them, or have sorceress for info on them?????
It's a modern equivalent of a high VG condition, 85% blueing +, mirror bore, no dents in barrel,original bayo and very nice unmolested wood ,,finish wise and cartouche's sharp and intact. He's asking 2500'''''in the ball park?
What ya guys know????
I need all the help I can get ,,,quick, I'm competing for it with someone else that's interested too. So time is of the essence if you can help out!!!!!
If the following is to be believed, it's newer than that:
One source I found said 1955-56 just going by #. The bluing threw me I'm pretty sure the WW11 vintage were all parked,could be wrong, shotties aren't my cup of tea. And was thinking it was later too. This Winchester site seems to confirm that SN wise.
It seems like info is all over the place on these guns with a ton of fakes around, or at least many are not what people think they are anyways.
Thanks for the info ,,,now the Big question,,,value???? I don't have any recent books to find out what it's worth. Would you happen to have a current one. we'll go with it being a 55-early56. 85% condition. With bayo, not numbered and 60% condition with frog.
I guess the question I would ask, is was the military even buying 1897 trench guns in '55-'56? Because it sounds like a fake to me.
That I'm not sure of that either,,but I'm in research mode. I'm thinking it may be a PD one though or as you say a possible fake. I guess there's lots of those around from what I've read so far.
It was hard for me to get a good look at it sense I just happened to see it when I was out for a wheeler ride and didn't have my reading glass's with me. Cartouches and small # are hard to see without them nowadays, gerrrrr,,, OLD BONES/EYES!!
It belongs to a local guy that lives on one of the roads that goes to our ATV trails, I'd seen a real nice Porshe in his garage while passing by a few times and that day he had it out and dusting it off,,,,so being a CAR NUT,,,,I just had to stop and look at it. Of Course!!!!
We got BSing and guns just happened to come up, that's how I found out about the "trench" initially.
He defiantly is a S&W fan though, he had a couple Combat Masterpiece's that were just beautiful and a Browning 22 target auto,60's vintage I'm guessing, that looked close to unfired condition, he wants 1K for that one. He is also a European gun fancier, just like me, and he has some real beauties, double set trigger commercial Mauser sporting rifles, Drillings, old Sakos , Belgium Weatherbeys and stuff like that. All cherry-cherry, and most with original paperwork and box's!!!!!! NICE!!!!!
Well it looks like more research is in order,, Thanks for the help, netpackrat, much appreciated.
UPDATE,,, it wasn't a 97, it was a mod 12. It is an original with conformation paperwork ,,,unfortunatly it sold this early AM,,,,,I missed it,,,,DRAT!!!!!
Oh well,,, I've got to many bills to buy anything else any hoo or do I need anything else!!! RIGHT,,, we'll see how long that one lasts!!!! Wana start a pool????
Thanks for the help netpackrat,,,
twa. As netpackrat showed with the serial numbers, the more you look into them, the more confused you will get on production, value, who owned them, where they been, etc..
Military, Police, civilian, or all had them in their hands at one time????? From WWI too Vietnam, quite a good weapon they made..
Like the Ithica, you can hold the trigger back, rack and keep firing.. Germans wanted them outlawed in WWI.. Troops were cleaning trenches, scaring the dog piss out of the Germans..
Some bad pictures of mine, try to get yah more tomorrow. That guy wanted $2,500 I think you said? For that kind of money, mint condition with authenticating date paper work from the Winchester Cody museum in Wyoming, plus toss in his Porsche. They had a fire as stated and lost most all the records..
Mine dates 1917 according to the serial numbers.. Winchester wants $75 for an official paper stating such.
I paid a whopping $275 for mine last year.. Bayo to fit $125... Bore is a bit rough, but for that kind of money I did not care..
Lot of Cartouches and I.D. marks on them from use over the years.. Original parts out there for purchase.. I need a screw on mine..
Call the museum before you purchase one.. Thousands and thousands were produced.. Ask for a tech.. Girls up front will just want to sell you the $75 confirmation paper..

"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
That ,,Is one thing I found,,,lots and lots of confusion on them and lots of little nuances to look for to determine if there are real or not. That is one thing I did figure out for sure.
This one had all the factory paperwork with it, plus a picture of the guy it was originally issued too holding it, and the same guy that ended up with it after WW11.
Sounds like that one you speak of had a good record account, adding to the value.. But Google them, my God conflicting everything on them, from the so called experts..
These used in WWI should have some sort of bomb in a circle? cartouche.. Even that starts a fight with the Winchester experts. Was it put on before, or after the war when put up in storage by the Military? Now keep in mind, these were used in Korea, WWII, Vietnam, by Police Departments, sold to the public..
Even in speaking with the Man at the Winchester Cody museum..Nice guy, but he said he would have to sit and study it to even get me a close history on the weapon.. Lot of small, no idea, markings on it.. Notches on the trigger guard, someone got hurt..
Damn fire destroyed the records.. If you find one at a good price, hell grab it.. But to pay big money, I would want the Cody museum to check it out first..
One serial number posted on mine says 1909 another says 1917???

Palm posts loss for Q1
The Palm not quicker than the i?
Sluggish smartphone sales matched with increased spending made Palm swing a small loss during the first quarter.
In the three months ended August 31, Palm posted a net loss of $841,000, on revenue up 1 per cent to $360.8m. In the same period last year, income was $16.5m on revenue of $355.8m.
Treo sales were at 689,000 units for the quarter, up 21 per cent from a year ago. The smartphones contributed revenue of $302.2m, up 12 year-over-year.
Palm's operating income was a loss of $4.5m, compared with a gain of $23.4m in Q2 07.
Excluding one-time items such as $5.1m in stock-based compensation expenses, $6.6m in restructuring charges and $5m patent acquisition costs, net income would have been $9.7m. Operating costs such as advertising and R&D rose about a quarter from a year ago.
Palm has ramped up product development and marketing as the Treo struggles in fierce competition from rival devices such as the BlackBerry and iPhone. The company also recently killed the Foleo, a sub-notebook "companion" for the Treo before shipping any units to the public.
Palm forecasts Q2 sales of $370m-$380m — short of the $397m average expected by analysts. ®

(Reuters) - Zynga Inc is launching a new games service that allows users to play on the company's website instead of Facebook, potentially driving traffic away from the world's No. 1 social network that is its biggest partner.
The service is the online game company's boldest move yet to create a presence outside of Facebook, where it makes 93 percent of its revenue.
Investors sent Zynga's shares up 10 percent to $14.48.
"Zynga is building their own web-based platform, which makes them a bit more independent and creates a brand for them outside of Facebook. But it doesn't really cut the cord with Facebook, and it won't have a dramatic impact on their margins," said Baird Research analyst Colin Sebastian.
Zynga's re-designed website, which will come online later in March, makes it easier to play games more quickly with access to live chatting and message board features where players can ask for help.
Five of Zynga's top games will be on the new Zynga.com, including "CastleVille," "CityVille" and "Words with Friends," the company said on Thursday. Zynga Chief Operating Officer John Schappert said in an interview that players can find opponents to play games with who they are not friends with on Facebook.
But the so-called Zynga Platform is closely tied to Facebook in other ways: Users still need to log in using their Facebook IDs and sales from virtual goods in games, such as houses or other items, will be traded using Facebook Credits, the social website's payment system.
"You will still pay Facebook for buying an extra tractor," said Hudson Square analyst Dan Ernst.
Facebook, which has 845 million users, keeps 30 percent of revenue generated from Facebook credits. Zynga executives declined to comment on whether the company would ever sell items on its platform without paying Facebook a cut.
Ernst, the Hudson Square analyst, said it might be easier for Zynga to pull in advertising dollars if it attracts a large number of users to its own website.
Manuel Bronstein, general manager of Zynga.com, said the new website was not intended to migrate users away from Facebook. It will help users keep their Facebook profiles separate from their gaming habits while bringing Zynga closer to its users, he said.
"If they want to play on Facebook, if they play on mobile, if they play on the Web, I want them to be connected to Zynga and it cannot be constrained to one single destination," Bronstein said.
Playing games made by Zynga and Electronic Arts is one of the most popular activities for users on Facebook.
Zynga's new website will also host games from other companies, which is a new revenue stream. These include Orlando, Florida-based Row Sham Bow, which makes a Facebook game called "Woodland Heroes," as well as the San Diego-based company MobScience, which makes the Facebook game "Coffee Bar."
Ernst said this could help lower Zynga's costs. Zynga spent about $500 million last year developing the technology and infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of players in social games.
"This is a smart move that shows that Zynga is a lot more adult and developed than people thought," Ernst said.
Bronstein, from Zynga, said the platform brings Zynga, which went public late December, closer to its goal of having 1 billion users. It has 240 million monthly users. The service will come out in 16 languages including Chinese, Korean, Japanese and German and will not be on mobile devices yet.
Facebook, which plans to raise $5 billion in an initial public offering expected to value the company at $75 billion to $100 billion, said in a filing in February that 12 percent of its revenue comes from Zynga.

Here's my great Christmas confession:
- We don't do Santa.
- We don't have a real tree.
- The very small amount of gifts that my children get from us generally come from a thrift store.
It's not how I was raised. My sister and I always received a huge pile of presents, a few of those from "Santa." But where are those gifts now? Except for our original Nintendo, which is happily housed with my husband and me, I have no idea. A lot of those gifts got great love: Barbies, Cabbage Patch dolls, board games. But I don't know that our Christmases would have suffered without half of those things we wished for on long lists.
Nowadays, I prefer to keep the focus on Jesus' gift. This year, my kids (4 and almost 2) and I will be going through Truth in the Tinsel, an Advent e-book that guides them through Scripture while we make fun ornaments. We're also opening a Jesus-focused Christmas book every night and reading it together.
As for presents, they'll get plenty from their two sets of grandparents, being that they're the only grandchildren on both sides. We've encouraged them not to overdo it, though, because our kids already have so. many. toys. Experiential gifts are my favorites, and art supplies are basically "consumables" for little ones.
I hope my 4-year-old will be able to help me pick out some gifts that give to others, too, and start to understand that others around the world have needs far greater than ours. We start impressing this idea with packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child and continue throughout the holidays.
Here are some of my favorite gifts that give to others!
- For $100, you can give a family in need a goat and two chickens through World Vision. This provides a family with goat's milk and eggs – and the families that receive them are asked to pass along chicks to other families.
- For just $9, you can feed a hungry baby for a week through Samaritan's Purse. It's Gift 40 in their catalog.
- Any donation is appreciated through Compassion's fund to help provide education fees for children in need.
- These fun paper bead necklaces are $25, hand-crafted by women in Kenya, and help support Mercy House Kenya.
- Buy an adorable cupcake bib for $6 on Etsy, help support relief efforts from Hurricane Sandy.
- $25 from each $50 plate purchase of this cute, recycled glass plate goes to support City Harvest in NYC, an organization that raises money to feed those in need.
Do you have any favorite gifts that give back?

More than one in four mobile and tablet users report being victims of online or mobile fraud, a national survey says, but that isn't stopping them from using those channels.
According to the results of the 2013 Consumer Mobile Insights study released recently by Jumio Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., fully 83% of respondents worry about identity theft but still use those mobile and online options for their convenience.
Jumio, a credentials management firm, commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct the online study from March 22-26 among 2,130 U.S. adults. There was no probability sample and thus no estimate of sampling error, Jumio said.
Nearly two-thirds of consumers have a smartphone or tablet, including 81% of female respondents ages 18 to 34, Jumio said, and 70% of men in that age bracket.
Jumio said that while one in four respondents (26%) reported being a victim of online or mobile fraud, 48% continue to conduct financial or other important activities on mobile, such as checking account statuses/balances (48%) or paying bills (32%).
And 60% of respondents expect to use their smartphone or tablet even more in the future to conduct important activities, Jumio said.
"This adoption continues to grow in the face of increasing mobile fraud, and related concerns have clearly not kept smartphone users from participating," said Daniel Mattes, founder and CEO of Jumio.
"Users may be willing to accept risk now in favor of convenience, but this tolerance will weaken as fraud continues to grow. The industry needs to get on board to protect our customers as much as the customers themselves need to take greater precautions," Mattes said.

This is my first post here. I am from Colombo.
Who do you think will win the ICC Champions Trophy 2004 ?
The pools are:
Pool 1: Australia, New Zealand, USA
Pool 2: South Africa, West Indies, Bangladesh
Pool 3: Pakistan, India, Kenya
Pool 4: Sri Lanka, England, Zimbabwe
My analysis of the team's chances are as follows:
1) Australia -- Red hot favourites to win. They are a superbly balanced side; it will take something special to beat them
2) RSA and India -- Both strong sides and are in with a chance.
3) England and NZl are the dark horses; Improving England have home advantage and should win their pool but beyond that they will have to play very well; Kiwis are always a dangerous outfit and if they can upset Australia in the pool stage, their confidence will rocket skywards.
4) Pakistan and WI are in a bad shape at the moment but both are highly unpredictable.
5) I don't give my side SL much hope; We'll have to play out of our skins to get past the pool stage even where England is in the way. A lot I feel hinges on Jaya's form.

MiM Mail: Go back to the US?
This is an amazing blog. I have been following for many years, since before I was a mommy in medicine. I am not someone that makes friends easily, or even shares a great deal of myself with the friends I do have. This community has been an enormous support to me, especially since the birth of MK (now 1 year old). I have often wanted to write a post, share my story, but for some reason or another it never happened.
A little background about me; I was raised in the United States from the age of 2 and lived there until I came to England to go to medical school. At the time I thought it was a great way to come out of medical school without too much debt (I was born in England so qualified for greatly reduced tuition), and see another part of the world (US suburban living was boring me into a coma). The plan was as soon as I finished I would come back to where my parents and family was, back to the place I have always considered as home. Fast forward to now, I have finished medical school and married to a born and raised Brit with a baby who came as an utter surprise just before I was due to take Step 1. I have matched to an Obgyn program (like residency) in the UK. Obgyn is definitely my calling, and I would find it very very hard to do anything else. This is a seven year program (all the programs here are MUCH longer), and the hospitals I would be rotating through are less than an hour away from where I live. I have a great MIL who lives minutes away and is happy for me to split childcare between herself and daycare. Because I have a small child, I also have the option of working flexibly (3-4 days a week). This would mean taking longer to finish the program and less pay, but the option is there if I need it. Finally, even if I worked full time my schedule would not be as intense as what some of you have often described (typically 8-5 four days a week, 1 12 hour day a week, four nights in a row every 4-5 weeks, 1 weekend every 4-5 weeks).
I see the benefits of staying here and the positives that are offered by the system here. However I still can't shake the feeling that I should go back to the US. I miss my parents and I feel like I don't even know my siblings, I have been away for so long ( I do visit every year for at least 2-3 weeks, but somehow our schedules match up for a very small amount of that time) . I always envisioned our kids growing up together, and if I stay that it unlikely to happen. I miss friendly faces. I miss the sunshine in the summer and the snow in the winter (I miss SEASONS). Finally I miss the American attitude, which you don't really appreciate until you actually leave and realise the rest of the world does not think the same way. In America, people have a can-do optimism that I would love my son to grow up in. I have seen well established people decide to follow their passion at 45 and drastically change careers, embarking on new challenges. There is a mentality that if you work hard, you will get wherever you want to be. I feel this does not really exist in England. Going back however would mean finding time with a young child and part time work to ace the steps, get into a US residency program and then survive it. And then not look back at what could have been?
I am not sure if my dilemma has any basis. I feel this way maybe because I am homesick and nostalgic at the thought of the next seven years and what that will eventually lead to. For all of you that know the American system better than me,and maybe even some of you who may have had experience in both systems, your thoughts and opinions would be very much appreciated!

I don't know if this is helpful or not...I work at an academic institution in the US that has a long history (20 years +) of using what we call "British rotators" in the dept. of anesthesiology. These are people who are not quite done with their British training (usually have about a year or so to go) who choose to come spend a year as basically ultra-junior faculty in my department. Usually, they have not taken the USMLE exams (not sure exactly how this gets approved, but anyway...) Most of them enjoy their time with us, but are generally surprised by how many more hours we work and the increased difficulty of some of the cases. The reasons they choose to do this year are many, but for most of them, it seems to be mostly a way to resume build. Apparently, and very different from the US, completing training in Britain does not guarantee one a consultant anesthetist job (essentially the equivalent of a U.S. attending anesthesiologist). It is my understanding that the job market in Britain is very tight and thus many fully trained, qualified physicians never actually get to practice as such. Thus, I have seen over the years, upwards of 1/3 to 1/2 of those who rotate with us try to turn their one-year rotator appointment into something more permanent, either at our institution or elsewhere in the US (with varied success). I don't know if this is the case with OB/GYN as well--something you may want to investigate further. While completing a US residency program makes things more straightforward to practice in the US, clearly it is possible for one to complete training in Britain and then come to the US to practice (you do have to take the USMLEs, but do not necessarily have to complete a US residency also--I have seen this route taken by a dozen or more people at my institution alone). Whether or not you want to come back to the US to do residency or not is an entirely personal decision--yes, it likely will be more intense than in Britain, but it is do-able--as is evidenced by the many contributors to this blog. Good luck with your decision!ReplyDelete
I can't begin to tell you how your dilemma closely mirrors mine 2 years ago!! I was raised in Michigan but have loads of family in England. I went over for undergrad, married an Englishman, and stayed on for medical school. My daughter was born 2 weeks after I graduated from medical school! I struggled with exactly the same things you describe: work-life balance seems so much better during residency years in the UK, but then so much better for attending years in the US! I completely agree with the comment above regarding attending positions in the US vs consultant positions in the UK. I hated the idea that I could spend 10 years training to be an anesthesiologist, working long hours (albeit not quite as long as in the US) and earning a resident's salary to not have a position at the end of it all. I did several away rotations in the US when I was in my clinical years of med school and found that many residents had families. And they were happy. Of course it was exhausting and required sacrifice, but it was such a comparatively short time that it seemed doable. I also liked how the US system (paradoxically) seems family friendly in that a lot of my co-residents have children and it's not uncommon. My attendings often ask about my daughter and family life and we exchange daycare info. I found that as a pregnant medical student in the UK, I was a complete and utter anomaly. Although there were services available for helping me get through residency, there was NO ONE ELSE doing it! At times I felt like a pregnant teenager in trouble, rather than someone who had been married for 6 years pursuing higher education. I'm now an intern in anesthesia in Chicago. It's definitely hard work and I'm often now nostalgic for the UK! But when I talk to my friends who are junior doctors back in the UK, I find we're actually working very similar hours.ReplyDelete
I also liked the flexibility inherent in the US system in terms of how you practice as an attending. There are so many opportunities to carve your own niche, you really can make medicine into exactly what you like! For me, that will hopefully be CV anesthesia a few days a week but with critical care weeks in the SICU in between, working mostly part time.
I can appreciate your nostalgia for the US mindset, too. There definitely is a "can-do" attitude! While I loved working in the NHS and what it stood for, I so appreciate the perks of the system over here, too. For me, the final clincher was wanting to be nearer to family in the Midwest and my husband's decision that he preferred living in the US. Decision made!
This is such a huge decision to make, especially because both systems are unnecessarily inflexible about changing countries during training. The only thing I can advise is that residency is shorter here, you work harder but it's not impossible to have a happy family life simultaneously. In the UK, you will work less hard in residency but for longer. American optimism will always be attractive, but so will British stoicism and the love of the NHS. Good luck with your decision and do let me know if you want to chat more via email. Uncanny how similar this situation is!!

Nectarine and Raspberry Galette
|From book
|Eating Local (Andrews McMeel)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Chilled, cut into small pieces)
- 1/4 cup Ice Water
- 1-1/2lb Nectarines (Halved, Pitted, and Sliced Lengthwise)
- 1/2 pint Raspberries
- 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg Yolk (Whisked with 1 t. water, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse Sugar
|To make the galette dough, put the flour and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to blend. Add half the butter and pulse just until the fat is evenly distributed and coated with flour. Add the remaining butter and pulse a few times, just until it is coated with flour. There should still be pieces of flour-coated butter about the size of large peas. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Drizzle in the ice water while tossing with a fork, adding water just until the mixture begins to come together. Gather the dough with your hands and knead gently if necessary to get it to hold together. Resist the temptation to add more water. Handling the dough as little as possible, shape it into a thick disk like a hamburger patty, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
|Preheat the oven to 425°F. If you have a baking stone, put it in the oven on the middle rack to preheat for at least 45 minutes.
|Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before you are ready to roll it to allow it to soften slightly. If it is too cold, it will be brittle and difficult to roll. Unwrap the dough and place it between 2 sheets of parchment paper at least 16 inches square. With a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a 15-inch circle. To prevent sticking, occasionally lift the top sheet of parchment and lightly flour the dough, then replace the parchment and invert the dough so the bottom sheet is on top. Peel back that sheet of parchment and lightly flour the dough, then replace the parchment and continue rolling.
|When the circle is large enough, remove the top sheet of parchment and transfer the dough, still on the bottom sheet of parchment, to a rimless baking sheet. Working 2 inches from the edge of the dough, place the nectarine slices in concentric rings. Scatter the raspberries evenly over the nectarines. Sprinkle the fruit with the granulated sugar.
|Using a palette knife or other broad knife to help you lift the dough off the parchment, gently fold the uncovered edge of the dough over the fruit to make a wide, roughedged rim. Make sure there are no cracks in the dough for juices to seep through. Brush the rim with the egg wash, then sprinkle the rim with the sparkling sugar. With scissors, cut off the exposed parchment paper. (It's okay if a little paper is exposed.)
|If you have a baking stone in the oven, slide the galette, still on the bottom sheet of parchment, directly onto the stone. If you do not have a baking stone, bake the galette on the rimless baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the nectarines are juicy, about 50 minutes. Slide the galette onto a rack to cool slightly. To serve, slide it from the rack onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Serve warm.

ALISO VIEJO – In late October, Shannon Smith tweeted that for just one day, she'd love to be in Richard Branson's shoes.
In her tweet, the aesthetician tagged the British biz magnate with the blond hair and goatee who owns Virgin Airways and a private island, and who has a healthy taste for globe-trotting adventure – as well as about 2.5 million followers on Twitter.
Will send shoes!! Branson tweeted back.
"What?" thought a shocked Smith, who had celebrated her birthday a few days before.
She tweeted back: B/day wishes do come true
Her friends retweeted the exchange. The billionaire 62-year-old started following Smith on the social networking site.
Then, the man with an estimated net worth of $4.2 billion sent her a private message.
So, about those shoes … Can you send us your address please?
Smith, a bit suspicious that a hacker was messing with her, wrote back:
Here's my P.O. Box. If you'd prefer my physical address, please email me. She included her email address.
Then, for weeks, nothing.
Smith, who for the past five years has given facials to clients of The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach and at Ritz-Carlton Spa in Laguna Niguel, had pretty much forgotten about her cyber-exchanges with Branson until last week.
Then, true to his iconoclastic ways, Branson had an associate email Smith to get her home address – and then tell her the shoes were on their way.
Branson then tweeted Smith, telling her she had to wear his shoes for 24 hours – or send them back. He also posted a video on YouTube and wrote posts on other websites.
In the video, Branson tells Smith that the shoes may be big and have "a little bit of wear and tear," and that he sent them from his 74-acre private island, Necker, in the British Virgin Islands.
From there, the shoes were flown via Virgin Atlantic to London, then to New York, where Virgin Airways whisked them to San Francisco.
From there, San Francisco-based Virgin America media rep Kate Talbot, 28, hopped on a plane to Los Angeles and then into a red Mustang to deliver the shoes – plus Branson's book, "Like a Virgin," and a Virgin shirt – to Smith's gated home in Aliso Viejo.
The shoes arrived at around 2:30 p.m.
Smith, 40, tried on the pair of his black-and-orange Adidas running shoes. She's a size 9; Branson's a size 10½.
"She can wear extra socks," Talbot quipped.
Smith is mulling when and where to wear the shoes for 24 hours. She sees them as a good omen for her business, BeautySmith, which she plans to relocate and expand in the coming year.
After all, she's been a longtime fan of Branson's business as well as humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
"I've always admired him as an entrepreneur and as a branding genius," Smith says. "He definitely seems to be a man of his word – a man who follows through.
"He loves life," Smith adds. "He's a great example of what all of us should be doing in our own ways."
Talbot said the shoe delivery illustrates Branson's dedication to social media and listening to his followers and fans.
"It speaks to the Virgin brand of being friendly and creative and provocative, and being really connected to the entire Virgin team and the world," Talbot said.
Smith has a boyfriend, Hoda, who was born in London and also is a longtime admirer of Branson.
Hoda, she says, is excited about her getting the shoes.
He's not jealous of the billionaire, she says – but he may be when he reads this parting comment from Smith:
"I sure would love to give Richard Branson a facial."

By Chris Wright
Former Wigan striker Marlon King has been released from prison today after serving nine months of an eighteen-month sentence for sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman (whom he left needing hospital treatment for a broken nose and a split lip) in a Soho nightclub in December of 2008.
Reports are already circulating that King has been approached by Championship side Coventry City with an offer to resume his football career at the Ricoh Arena, with boss Aidy Boothroyd (who managed King at Watford for three years between 2005-08) admitting to Talksport that his current club are willing to open a line of communication with the disgraced forward;
"I know Marlon King the dad, Marlon King the husband and Marlon King the footballer and I'm not going to just throw someone on the scrapheap just because he made a mistake, as grave a mistake as that might be."
When you know him and you've worked with him and you know the good and the bad then you have to take that decision, but we are nowhere near that decision yet."
Marlon King may be an exemplary father and a diligent husband, and you could even argue that he is a perfectly serviceable footballer on his day – but there can be no uncertainty surrounding the fact that he is a complete d*ckhead.
The Soho Revue Bar in London
Since the age of 17, King has been in court on no less than seven occasions over 14 separate offences which range from motoring offenses to violence against women – and since signing his first professional papers with Gillingham back in 2000, King has now been incarcerated twice.
His first prison term came in 2002, whilst still playing for The Gills, when he was jailed for eighteen months after being arrested whilst driving a stolen BMW convertible.
A year after that he was summoned to Bow Street Magistrates' Court in London on two counts of common assault where the court heard how a taxi driver had called police about a 'disturbance' he had witnessed in Soho. When officers arrived at the scene they were greeted by the sight of an inebriated King chasing two women along the road with a belt buckle wrapped round his right fist.
One of the girls explained that King had attacked the pair 'for no apparent reason', punching her in the face and causing cuts and swelling. He was then fined £1,000 by the court and ordered to pay £500 in compensation to each of the victims.
King's most recent appearance in court (before his latest conviction) was in 2005, when he was convicted of 'threatening behaviour' for approaching and spitting at a woman in Leicester Square, again 'for no apparent reason'. He was fined £300, and again ordered to pay £500 in compensation.
King in his Gillingham days
I had the misfortune of catching King's agent (and former teammate at Barnet), Tony Finnigan, speaking at length on Sky Sports News this afternoon about his client's continual misrepresentation as some kind of misogynist tyrant – although I'd suggest that a quick leaf through his various rap sheets would offer up a pretty damning character reference.
Finnigan, like any good agent, had one eye on his prospective 'cut' and was vehemently defending his wrongfully besieged 'friend' ("a lot of other players have gotten away with a lot worse") whilst subtly advertising his footballing virtues to any interested parties that may have been out there listening – a display that made for some pretty cringe-inducing viewing.
* * * * *
It is quite clear that King has some potent behavioural issues that stem way back, possibly to childhood – I don't know or care to find out, I've given him quite enough of my time already.
However, anyone who has systematically (and, more often than not, violently) bitten the hand that has fed him now, after being bestowed with the enviable privilege of forging a career in top-flight professional football, deserves the kind of salubrious life that such a 'job' would allow him.
So to finally come back to my original question, does Marlon King (who, lest we forget, is now on the sex offenders register) deserve another chance? Does he f*ck.

DataNucleus allows a user to enable various MBeans internally. These can then be used for monitoring the number of datastore calls etc.
The simplest way to monitor DataNucleus is to use its API for monitoring. Internally there are several MBeans (as used by JMX) and you can navigate to these to get the required information. To enable this set the persistence property datanucleus.enableStatistics to true. There are then two sets of statistics; one for the PMF and one for each PM. You access these as follows
JDOPersistenceManagerFactory dnpmf = (JDOPersistenceManagerFactory)pmf; FactoryStatistics stats = dnpmf.getNucleusContext().getStatistics(); ... (access the statistics information) JDOPersistenceManager dnpm = (JDOPersistenceManager)pm; ManagerStatistics stats = dnpm.getExecutionContext().getStatistics(); ... (access the statistics information)
The MBeans used by DataNucleus can be accessed via JMX at runtime. More about JMX here.
An MBean server is bundled with Sun JRE since version 1.5, and you can easily activate DataNucleus MBeans registration by creating your PMF with the persistence property datanucleus.jmxType as default
Additionaly, setting a few system properties are necessary for configuring the Sun JMX implementation. The minimum properties required are the following:
Usage example:
java -cp TheClassPathInHere -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8001 TheMainClassInHere
Once you start your application and DataNucleus is initialized you can browse DataNucleus MBeans using a tool called jconsole (jconsole is distributed with the Sun JDK) via the URL:
Note that the mode of usage is presented in this document as matter of example, and by no means we recommend to disable authentication and secured communication channels. Further details on the Sun JMX implementation and how to configure it properly can be found in here.
DataNucleus MBeans are registered in a MBean Server when DataNucleus is started up (e.g. upon JDO PMF instantiation). To see the full list of DataNucleus MBeans, refer to the javadocs.
To enable management using MX4J you must specify the persistence property datanucleus.jmxType as mx4j when creating the PMF, and have the mx4j and mx4j-tools jars in the CLASSPATH.

I just read an exclusive article in Information Week on this shake up. Here are the details:
1. Big change -- Ambuj Goyal is out. He has been shifted laterally to IBM's Systems and Technology Group (ouch) and will report to Rod Atkins, STG's Senior VP.
2. The Solutions group will be headed by Mike Rhodin -- former Lotus executive. Reporting to him will be Rob Ashe, GM of business analytics (former CEO of Cognos) which will include Cognos and SPSS, Alistair Rennie, GM of Lotus, and an unnamed GM for industry solutions (frameworks and enterprise content management)
3. The Middleware group will be headed by Robert LeBlanc (formerly led IBM's software sales and marketing team). His reports are Craig Hayman, GM of application and integration middleware, Arvind Krishna, GM of information management, Danny Sabbah, GM of Rational, and Al Zollar, GM of Tivoli.
These moves will enhance IBM's Smarter Planet iniitiative started last year, according to Mills, by helping the company find high-value and high-growth opportunities.
Wow -- it will take time to digest this major overhaul but I find it interesting that IBM has split the information management from business analytics so completely. Probably a logical split given that information management is so much more than just BI or analytics.
I look forward to your thoughts on this huge change to IBM's organizational structure.
As always, yours in BI

Event Information
Date and Time
Refund Policy
Refunds up to 7 days before event
Eventbrite's fee is nonrefundable.
Runaway Brewery makes great tasting modern British beer. Our beer is flavour focussed, we use the best ingredients available, and our beer is keg and bottle conditioned. We've been brewing in our little railway arch in Manchester since 2014.
Brewery tour and tasting
Go behind the scenes at our microbrewery in central Manchester and find out how we make our beer.
Each tour is led by one of our brewers who will show you around our working brewery and guide you through a tasting of four of our beers. Try our malt, smell our hops, drink beer from the tank (brew cycle allowing), and find out all you need to know about how our beer is made.
Brewery tours are limited to 20 people per session and last approx 60-90 minutes.
After your tour
The Runaway taproom, which overlooks the brewery, is open from 12:00 until 20:00 every Saturday. Feel free to stay on for a beer or two afterwards. We also sell bottles to take away and brewery t-shirts to remember your day.
How to find us
The brewery is within easy reach of Manchester's two main train stations, Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly. If travelling by tram or bus, you can reach us via the free Metroshuttle (#2 route) and we are only 6 minutes walk from Shudehill Interchange (Bus and Tram).
A couple of things to bear in mind when planning your visit...
Location, Brewery Environment and Accessibilty
Our brewery is located in an industrial unit, within a small industrial area, and is primarily a production facility. As such there's lots of brewing equipment, chemicals, wet floors and hot surfaces - think of it as a factory - so please respect that during your visit and come appropriately dressed (e.g. avoid high heels and open toe shoes/sandals) if you wish to visit the brewhouse as part of your trip. The brewery building is not heated (for the benefit of beer production) so may be a little chilly at cooler times of the year.
Facilities on site usually only cater for our small staff and are fairly basic. We have 2 x WCs on site with hand wash facilities & no disabled toilet is available - sorry.
Our tap room bar is situated on a mezzanine level over looking the brewery, which can only be accessed via stairs. However, we have a seating area on the ground floor, which has level access, and will endeavor to accomodate all visitors as best we can.
The brewery itself is also situated over different levels with stepped access, though there is level access to both parts of the brewery from either end of the railway arch. There are areas of uneven floors within the brewery.
As a rule, small children and animals will not be allowed in the brewery. Please contact us in advance to discuss requirements.
Please advise of any special requirements prior to your visit and we'll do our best to assist you.
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
You must be 18 or over. We operate a challenge 25 policy, so if you're lucky enough to look younger than that, please be aware that you may be asked for ID.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
There is no parking at the brewery. But who needs a car when youre coming to a brewery anyway? The brewery is only 5 minutes walk from Victoria Station and Shudehill Interchange (bus and tram). Our near neighbours Popup Bikes are located at Arch 4 on Corporation Street and provide secure bike parking on Saturdays (closed Sunday). We also have limited space for bike parking in the yard at the brewery.
Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?
If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Is my registration/ticket transferrable?
Please contact us if you wish to change the date of your tour. This is usually only possible if there is space on another tour.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
Please bring either a printed ticket, or digital equivalent.
What is the refund policy?
7 days. If it's less, we won't be able to refund - sorry. Eventbrite fee is non-refundable.
The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?
Yes. Please make sure you know the name of person who bought the ticket, so we can check you in.

June bugs or June beetles are brown or dark green measure around 2.5cm long and 1.5cm wide. Their undersides have a metallic green or gold colour.
Brown june beetle (left), Brown June beetle grub (right)-photos Later's Canada
June bugs are ugly suckers! They have spiny legs and that feels strange when they land on you. One night while we were outside they were landing all over us (A few years ago). These were the Brown June Bug. Green June Bugs are a little later in the spring and appear in May or June. Green June Beetles fly around in the day and the brown ones fly at night.

Habitat & Lifecycle
June bugs are found everywhere in North America and many other parts of the world. The larvae is a white to yellow grub. They have rows of stiff short hair to aid them in movement. They overwinter as grubs deep in the soil (lawn) and move to the surface in the spring to feed. Green June Beetles mature in June and become adults in early July. One generation per year. Females lay eggs in late summer. Adults of the Brown June Bug emerge in the spring. They are nocturnal. Lifecycle is three years. (See photo below diet and damage)

Diet & Damage
When they are adults June Bugs do little damage, however get rid of them since after they lay their eggs in the soil and your lawn the grubs do a lot of damage! Adult june bugs eat leaves of walnut, oak, and foilage from many plants. The grubs feed on organic matter in the soil and damage grass in your lawn as they eat the roots. They will eat roots of your ornamentals, weed roots and other seedling roots, corn, roses and potatoes. Lawn grasses wilt and turn brown and will eventually die from root loss.
June Bug Lifecycle-Utah State University
How To Control June Bugs
- Milky Spore Disease
Milky Spore is a naturally occurring bacterium (Bacillus popillae-Dutky) that will get rid of June bugs organically. It works on many common lawn grubs including June Bug & Japanese Beetle larvae and doesn't harm earthworms. You sprinkle it on your lawn like grass seeds just before a rain or water it well into the soil for 15 minutes or longer right after you put it down. Don't mow your grass until the Spore has been watered into the soil. Milky Spore has been known to last 15 years or more with only one treatment!
- Grub-Away® Nematodes – are beneficial nematodes applied to lawns and gardens. They control numerous soil dwelling pests, including borers, cutworms, flea larvae, weevils and maggots.
- Small Mammals & Birds
Skunks, armadillos and other small mammals will often be seen pulling back the turf in search of grubs. Bears have been know to do this as well but not usually in your gardens as a rule. Birds are great control on lawns….attract them with bird baths. Your chickens will also eat them but they'll eat the grass too so it would be wise to only have them eating away in your orchards.
- Hand Pick
If you see any damage, dig around in the soil or lift pieces of turf and destroy the grubs when you find them. Collect the beetles in the morning when they are not very active and destroy. You will find them on many plants and they are easy to shake them off. A flashlight in the evening will attract them and you can destroy them using stomp method or drop in hot soapy water.
- Ensure a Healthy Lawn
Cut your grass higher in the summer as beetles prefer to lay their eggs in short grass. Keep your lawns well-drained and aerated. In the spring don't water your lawns too often to ensure deep root growth.

Drains blocked? Try sardines
More Tesco product search merriment
Any reader who is currently experiencing blockage problems with his or her drains and thought that the solution involved either industrial quantities of caustic soda or some bloke from Essex sporting a white van, Dagenham cleavage and hugely impressive lengths of rod, is directed to Tesco's online tentacle which is offering an innovative alternative:
Yup, just last month the UK supermarket monolith was punting rum as a contraceptive; now it's suggesting tinned fish might purge your pipework.
We consulted our local plumber on the matter, who dismissed the prophylactic properties of rum with a perfunctory "load of old cobblers" before throwing 10 tins of Tesco's sardines down the toilet and charging us 120 quid for the privilege ®
Thanks to Sam Bryan for the plumbing tip.

Rules prompt promotion of Walden, not Jenkins
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays reversed course by deciding to purchase the contract of right-hander Marcus Walden prior to Saturday afternoon's game vs. the Yankees.
Toronto had previously announced that Chad Jenkins was going to be promoted from Triple-A Buffalo, but that was not allowed. According to league rules, Jenkins is not eligible for a promotion until 10 games into the regular season.
Walden will officially take the spot of right-hander Jeremy Jeffress, who was designated for assignment following the Blue Jays' 7-2 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.
"You can't bring a guy on the [40-man roster] back for 10 days unless there's an injury," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. "They have to be on option for 10 days. So guys like [Neil] Wagner, anybody on the 40 -- [Mickey] Storey, [Sean] Nolin, the list goes on and on. They have to be on option for 10 days in the season unless somebody gets hurt."
The 25-year-old Walden is exempt from that rule because he wasn't on the 40-man roster and didn't need to be optioned to the Minor Leagues at the end of Spring Training. He made one appearance for Triple-A Buffalo this season and allowed just one hit in one inning.
Walden, taken in the ninth round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, spent last season with Double-A New Hampshire and went 6-14 with a 3.71 ERA in 26 starts. With his background as a starter, he has the ability to throw multiple innings, and that's especially valuable considering the Blue Jays' bullpen pitched 6 1/3 innings on Friday night.
"He has a good arm, he's a strike-thrower, he can get some ground balls," manager John Gibbons said. "I had never seen him before. The organization has always liked him, and he impressed me during Spring Training. He can throw some innings for you, he's used to starting.
"He can throw strikes; that's the key. You have a chance when you throw strikes. If you don't, it makes it tough, and you're killing the guys playing behind you."
Though Jenkins' promotion has been delayed for the time being -- he will be eligible on April 10 -- it's very possible it won't be long before he eventually gets that call again. Gibbons is a big fan of what Jenkins did last season and during Spring Training.
"I had been pounding and pounding to get him up here from the day we sent him down, but he's not here," Gibbons said of the 26-year-old Jenkins, who posted a 2.70 ERA in 33 1/3 innings last season.

The Mott HyPulse® HyLine Filter is a reliable inline filter choice for separating solids from liquids and gases in a wide variety of applications. Uses range from a simple final downstream protection filter to a small-scale or pilot-plant process filter. Available accessory kits and a choice of housings and elements make tailoring Mott inline filters to your application easy.
Want a filtration system optimized to your unique manufacturing process? Watch this quick video and make an inquiry below to speak with our Process Filtration Team.
Have a question? Can't find what you're looking for? Call us at 860.747.6333, or submit an information request form and someone will get back to you within 48 hours.
Engineers run into design challenges every day and we help overcome them. Consider some of the below design characteristics when engineering a custom filtration or flow control product:
We make products from extremely small drug implants and building size filtration systems. Custom designing our products to fit into your product or process is what we do. See a starting list of porous metal product geometry. Our customers often require a integration into hardware and housings - we do that, too. Forming, machining, brazing, and welding are just some of the capabilities we use to customize dimensions or integrate our product to hardware connections.
Optimizing performance lets our customers bring the best product to market. Example benefits include improved yields and processing efficiency, faster instrument response times, and better quality product produced. Our design teams will translate your desired product specifications and process needs to maximize your capabilities. Just some of the custom performance capabilities are listed below:
Our customers may choose from an extensive list of material options to meet the specifications of their product application. We even source new materials through our supply chain for some of the most extreme technology advancements. Below are just some of the options available:
A virtually infinite combination of hardware connections are available for design. We are capable of sourcing and assembling the connection you desire using years of experience and special equipment. For example, welding porous metal products is significantly different than solid to solid. If done improperly, blowouts can occur or leak paths can form if done improperly, causing waste and poor performance. Additionally, when assembling porous metal media into products, surface damage can occur which will dramatically impact the products performance. We're experienced in all types of welding an assembly, use our manufacturing capability to your advantage.
Mission critical applications often require a host of unique properties and desired levels of cleanliness. Take advantage of our organic free processes and our Class 100 (ISO 5) and Class 10,000 (ISO 7) clean room manufacturing capabilities if your product and industry demands top cleanliness. In addition, post-treatments can be used to achieve additional performance characteristics, such as hydrophobic properties or additional strength. Some of these capabilities include:
High regulated and specialized industries require significant quality reviews, process documentation, and inspection and test plans. Experienced with medical, pharmaceutical, automotive, aerospace, nuclear, and other industries, we are ready to handle complex quality reporting requirements. Our customers often have specific agency approvals and tests and request specific sampling plans - send them our way. Here are a few examples of what we handle:
In addition, our engineering teams have years of experience with the latest design specifications of industries like semiconductor, medical, and aerospace. Save time and effort by using their knowledge of filtration and flow control applications by having them design with you.
Packaging and shipping needs should be considered with the design process as many options are available. For example, certain industries require very specific bagging requirements to minimize particle contribution and utilize nylon or barefoot bags vice polymer.

We empower new and innovative approaches to marine resource challenges within the Gulf of Maine. Our specialized and responsive programs are designed to cultivate creative problem solving while advancing proactive solutions. By engaging a diversity of interests, we aim to inspire innovation through thoughtful experimentation and technology transfer among traditional and emerging industries.
Advancing Aquaculture
GMRI collaborates with industry leaders, farmers, researchers, the business community, and other nonprofits to identify and pursue opportunities to expand aquaculture production. We work to help the industry overcome obstacles such as access to capital, risk management, site selection, environmental monitoring, market identification and development, and cooperative approaches to enhancing profitability.
Sector Support
The implementation of sector management in New England's groundfish fishery sparked dramatic changes in every aspect of the industry, forcing an unprecedented level of innovation and adjustment. Our work focuses on providing a range of technical, convening, and outreach services to New England's commercial fishing industry through various workshop and training offerings.
Gear Technology
Our work offers New England's fishing communities and seafood businesses opportunities to explore market-based solutions to increase the profitability of smaller, more sustainable catches. We maintain an active research program that contributes to the sustainability of New England fisheries and the capacity of working waterfronts to innovate and compete.
Resource Economics
Innovative fishing gear technology can help support the long-term and sustainable profitability of New England's fishing industry. These new tools help modernize the fleet and put fishermen in a better place to tackle future challenges, such as changes in fish quota, escalating fuel prices, or the migration of groundfish due to climate change.
Data Improvement
Fishery dependent data is a key component of successful fisheries management. New and shifting data needs are straining the current data system, which was created over many years to support various fisheries, and management plans. In an effort to modernize the existing data systems, we are working with industry stakeholders through a NOAA-led initiative to improve data quality, usefulness, and delivery.
Electronic Monitoring
With federal funding for at-sea monitoring waning, New England's groundfish industry is exploring electronic monitoring as a potential cost-effective alternative to on-board human observers. This innovative new system collects catch and discard data using cameras, computers, and sensors installed on fishing vessels. We are currently working closely with fishermen in an effort to develop and test an affordable, open-source electronic monitoring system.
At-Sea Monitoring
Since the transition to sector management in 2010, at-sea monitoring costs remain a major concern for New England's groundfish industry. With federal funding slated to expire soon and costs expected to shift to the industry, we are working with industry stakeholders to develop cost effective and comprehensive at-sea monitoring alternatives.
