Mugs: Athlete Arrests
Boston, MA (Sports Network/USA TODAY) - New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez
was reportedly tied to a man who was found dead Monday night.
The body of Odin Lloyd was found near Hernandez's home in North Attleboro,
Mass. on Monday night. Police have begun the investigation as a homicide and
met with Hernandez at his home on Tuesday and Wednesday.
FOX-25 in Boston cited a law enforcement source as saying that Hernandez and
Lloyd were with two other men at a bar in Boston on the night of the homicide
and left together in a vehicle driven by Hernandez. The report said it is
still unclear as to what happened afterward.
Sports Illustrated first broke the story on Tuesday, saying Hernandez was
questioned by Massachusetts state police in its investigation. According to
SI.com, police have connected a 2013 Chevrolet Suburban rented in Hernandez's
name with the homicide of Lloyd.
Hernandez has spent three seasons with the Patriots. He set career highs of 79
catches, 910 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during his Pro Bowl season
of 2011, then played in just 10 games due to injuries last year and finished
with 51 receptions for 483 yards with five touchdowns.
Hernandez in previous night club incident
USA TODAY has learned that Hernandez was recently involved in a Providence, Rhode Island night club incident during which a man ditched a gun.
According to the report of the incident, dated May 18, Hernandez was
being harassed for several blocks by the subject, who yelled out,
"(Expletive) the Patriots. I'm a Jets fan."
Fearing the situation
would escalate as Hernandez was being followed by a large crowd, police
intervened and detained several subjects who had been following
Hernandez to his vehicle, according to the report, which indicates
police allowed Hernandez to leave the scene.
Police say they then
spotted a "heavy-set black male" discard a firearm under a vehicle. The
man fled, but police say they seized the weapon, a .22-caliber Jimenez
with no round in the chamber and several cartridges in the magazine. The
report does not indicate whether the man was with Hernandez at the

TDD är en vana man behöver etablera. Första hindret är ofta när man återvänder efter kurs att omsätta teori i praktik. I detta avsnitt berätta jag om hur man isolerar en enhet så att man kan testa den.
Del 6 är i serien "TDD på svenska" handlar alltså om detta och har precis nu publicerats på vår YouTube-kanal "Crisp Agile Academy".
Du hittar som vanligt de tidigare delarna i serien och mycket annat producerat av mina kollegor. Speciellt tack till Jimmy Janlén för foto, regi och klipp
Låt oss säga det direkt: att kombinera pm³ och någon agil metod, som t ex Scrum, är en dålig idé. Varför?
Därför att du kommer inte kunna dra nytta av det agila arbetssättet. pm³ är baserat på en helt annan världsbild. pm³ bygger på årsplaner och att verksamheten beställer från en leverantör, typiskt den egna IT-avdelningen. Agilt har som en grundläggande värdering att reagera på förändringar i stället för att följa en plan. Det agila arbetssättet drivs proaktivt genom utforskande i motsats till att vara en mottagare av beställningar.
Vi har sett flera försök att implementera pm³ och de har ofta misslyckats på grund av att pm³ bygger på tankar om att verkligheten kan förutsägas 18 månader i förväg, att användarna vet vad de vill ha och att det är viktigt att ha en skarp linje mellan verksamhet och IT. Vi hävdar (och flera med oss törs vi lova) att inget av detta är varken sant eller bra.
Some things are too small for the overhead of a user story, still they must be handled during the sprint effectively. I suggest a small taxonomy to classify them and also what to do with them.
What makes good code? Many things but whatever the qualities are, readability is a cornerstone. If you can't read the code, you can't fix it. So how do you write readable code? I'll give you my view but it's like books, what I find enjoyable may be different from you.
Borde du inte programmera snabbare? Varför tar det så lång tid att mata in kraven i datan? Har du hört den frågan förut?

At my current assignment, I needed to get my fellow developers up to speed with Wicket. So I put together a one day course that taught them enough to join in on the work of a current application. Everything is publicly available on GitHub here: https://github.com/perty/wicket-kurs.
You get a starting plate for a complete web application with database backend accessed through Spring Data JPA. Also, there is a Power Point presentation that guides you through the exercises. Very little is spent on Wicket philosophy and concepts to the benefit of hands on coding.
One of the most common questions we get is whether to estimate in time or points. It seems like points are used only "to avoid thinking about time" and they are essentially the same. Wrong.
Let us give you the travel metaphor to give you an idea about how we are thinking.
Hur mycket testtäckning ska man ha? Vad är skillnaden på line coverage och branch coverage? Vad är komplex kod? Hur undviker man att få fejkade mätvärden (gaming)? Vad är "förtroende" i det här sammanhanget? Hur kan man kombinera flera mätvärden?
Det och lite till försöker jag svara på i den här videon.
Testdriven utveckling, TDD, är en vana och för att skaffa sig en vana, behöver man träna. I den här videon gör jag en rolig övning i att bryta ner ett tal i primtal. Jag vill också trycka på att du ska träna dig att använda utvecklingsmiljön genom att skriva koden "baklänges", använd en variabel och låt din IDE fråga efter typen. Lär dig kortkommandon och lär dig refaktoringfunktioner som "extract method" för ett lättare liv som programmerare.
Det går fort i videon men det är bara för att det inte ska bli så tråkigt att titta på. Jag skriver inte så där snabbt.
Den andra delen handlar om TDD-processen. Se alla våra video på YouTube-kanalen Crisp Agile Academy.
Den första delen om TDD på svenska på Crisp Agile Academy är en motivering om varför det lönar sig med TDD. Jag funderar över vad som händer om man inte skriver tester alls, skriver dem efteråt eller skriver dem innan.
Den här serien är tänkt att bestå av korta avsnitt där något inom TDD gås igenom på ett jordnära och personligt sätt.
Whenever you have a domain object, data transfer object, parameter object or any other object that can't be instantiated with constructor parameters only, you need to create a builder for its class.
The great thing about Java is that it is statically typed so a builder can give you compiler errors if you forget to set the compulsory parameters. If you use the builder in this pattern, you also get a very fluent interface that imposes order on the parameters. When using the builder, your IDE will suggest the next parameter to set.
Most of you have a relational database involved in your persistence. As soon as your first version has been set in use, you can't change the database schema as easy anymore or you might lose valuable production data.
At the same time, continuous delivery demands that there should be as few manual steps as possible. See here for motivation on continuous delivery.
You no longer have a few database instance, there are numerous for different levels of testing and every developer nowadays run a personal database. To keep track of all database instances and keep them updated becomes a steep task.
To tackle this, we started using Flyway as a tool to manage our database scripts. Our applications migrates the database automatically on startup so we get a hands-free solution that will guarantee that the code and database schema is in sync.
Here is a technical recipe for accomplishing this when using Flyway in combination with Spring.

Yesterday we ended our second two-week sprint and on the demo, besides showing the system, we could do some bragging about test coverage using our Sonar dashboard. We also could show Fitnesse tests at system level that implements the specification by example technique, or like some say, executable requirements.
What is the purpose of the @Ignore annotation in unit testing?
Either a test will be green and everything is fine or it is red so you fix it before commit. So if there is an ignored test, it is the same thing as dead code and we know what to do with that: delete it! Keep the code clean! read more »
I had taken on to facilitate a retrospective for my colleagues' team. They wanted a different retrospective than the usual. So we borrowed Crisp's office and used Jimmy Cards!
The group was around 15 persons from two teams. They all knew each other well which I believe is crucial as the questions on the cards can be challenging.
In this post I'll give you the recipe which Jimmy and I came up with for this particular retrospective.
Have not all of us been in a spot where we feel an urgent need to fix some quality such as performance or availability, which takes a change in the architecture for effect? And yet we are pushed to work on new features instead?
There is a chasm between the tech side and business side that has to be bridged before a sound dialogue about system architecture can take place.
Today I decided to update my canned wicket test examples to the latest version of Wicket.
I still think Wicket is a really nice web framework for the following reasons, primarly.
We are doing a course called "Certified Scrum Developer". We are of course proud of being one of the few eligible by the Scrum Alliance to hold such a course. But what matters most to us is teaching some modern development practices. The certificate bit is more of a bonus.
Crisp had recently its fifth installment of a code camp, the "Crisp Hack Summit". It is an occasion for everyone at Crisp to go bananas on some project of their liking. We took the chance to work on the technical platform for the CSD course. We know from experience that you can loose a lot of valuable lecture time if the technical environment decides to hassle. Murphy, will you be there?
What makes the difference between a star developer and a day coder? First of all, with a star developer I don't mean star as in "famous", rather as in "elite". And, a day coder is OK to be, no disrespect here. We need you as much as we need the elite.
My point here is that if you wish to hire a real star, you need to know what to look for.
Here is an illustration on how the coordinate systems of the screen and JavaFX objects relate to each other. It is a great thing with JavaFX that you seldom bother about screen coordinates. Instead you rely on layout managers to position your nodes on screen. A node has its own coordinate system, should you like to do some positioning, e.g. in a game.

JavaFX is great fun but there are so many ways of doing things. You can use FXML, you can use images to build things piecewise or you can write code for a live, scalable design. The latter is the case here where I show how I created an analog clock using Java code.
The clock is designed with the clockwork in a separate class and the face in another.
This text shows some example JavaFX code in Java slightly above introductory level. You should have your development set up and done at least a first program.
This a picture of me used on our front web page. If you don't see it there, try reloading.
What's the matter with me on the picture? What am I trying to say?
My mother's sister is past 80 and still running her own company. Naturally, I do her IT-support since -95 when she realised that it was important to utilise a computer for her business.
The other day I was installing an invoice program for her. She has been using an Excel template, designed by my wife. But new regulations on VAT made her go for specialised software. She choose a well established product. It turned into a lesson for me.

This is just a blog post to point to my presentation of the aforementioned subject. Or should I say, "prezi", because there are no slides, just a big picture with a path through it. That's is the way of Prezi presentations and as a first timer, I felt liberated. Slides are so dull!
The content of my presentation is aimed at those with some experience of unit testing that would like a dose of philosophy on testing styles. Classical or Mockist? State or Behavior? Also, if you are not that familiar with Mockito, take this prezi for a spin!
Here is the link to the prezi! That's all for now.
The team has its Scrum board as an information radiator. It is an excellent way of getting an overview of the sprint. But what about us, the product owners, don't we need that too? Of course we do, we too have a need for an overview of our work and to radiate information. The stakeholders pass by and ask "what's in next sprint", "when will we migrate". We'd like to just answer with a light gesture towards the wall. It is all there for everyone to see.
Let me tell you how our project owner board works, as an example. read more »
What makes a group of good people a great team? I believe that shared values and experiences are fundamental. While there are many team-building activities available, such as paint ball and boule, I'd like to think that software development teams need more than that.
The TDD Tetrahedron, or if you wish, pyramid, has reached 2.0. Like cars, the new model is bigger and comes with new technology.
By pure coincidence, I ran into somebody willing to print this. So here it is, the version 2.0 of the TDD Tetrahedron. The new version has sides of 100 mm and it is made of plastic.
Well, if you didn't use the older version, you may be wondering what's so great about this. It is all about mental focus.
Here is part 2, a week has past. I think as I write so it is a bit different in style and content than my other posts here.
It has been a hectic week, this first week as PO/SM. First of all, it was only four days thanks to national day. Then there were two new developers from Russia which meant twice as many developers as we had before, not counting me. Simple, you just tell people to pair program. That works out if they are well enough to come to work. Which they weren't. So they russians were left a bit hanging. I had a lot to do just to keep the team running, at least according to my standards.
I am programmer and Scrum Master but has been offered to become Product Owner for the same part of the product I am currently working on. I decided to accept the offer and this is my live story, written as I go. Perhaps this will be of interest to you.
First of all, to me, this was not a decision I took lighthearted. However, I do have the fortune of peer coaching at Crisp and the offer came the same morning we had our last coaching. That was a timing like there was a meaning behind.
It is not supposed to be full-time either, so I need to choose what I shall do the rest of my day. It turned out that initially there was no choice. It was not possibly to find a Scrum Master to fill in my gap. The next sprint I will be both PO and SM. Hua! read more »

With July 4th behind us, it's officially summer and time to think about your outdoor lighting needs. Here are some of our favorite products to light the night!
Anytime you're outside in the summer, there's one thing that's sure to ruin it: bugs. The problem tends to be worse at night because traditional lights attract them.
Most people are so used to seeing bugs on their outdoor lights they've never wondered why, or how to stop them. Insects see light differently than people do, and they're most attracted to shorter wavelengths—light at the far end of the spectrum, close to ultraviolet light. So all too often, the most attractive light in the area will be the manmade outdoor light around your deck, porch or patio.
Bug lights use filtered yellow glass to minimize the short spectrum light—so they don't attract insects. If you haven't yet, this summer is the time to switch.

Energy Efficiency | Expert Lighting Tips | Light Bulbs
Most of the time it's easy to see when technology is improving: new smartphones roll off the shelves every few months. But for other technologies, change can be harder to recognize—especially if you're used to your current set up.
According to the Department of Energy's (DOE) Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey, which is the most current data available, more than 2 million facilities built between 1980 and 2003 have been using the same lighting systems for the past few decades- despite the number of advances in lighting technology made since then. Three quarters of commercial buildings have outdated technology.
Do you know if yours does?

Energy Efficiency
277 Volts is the input power of choice for most industrial and commercial applications. High voltage lighting is better from an efficiency standpoint. Higher voltage means less current, which means less power loss from resistance as stated in Ohm's and Joule's laws.
Ohm's law: Voltage = Current*Resistance
Joule's law: Power = Voltage*Current
High voltage lighting means you can put more lighting fixtures on a given circuit because voltage drop is less of a concern. This means these lights are ideal for areas with a lot of lighting fixtures close together: think warehouses, offices, restaurants, hotels, schools, and even hospitals.
Most industrial facilities get their power in a 480/277 volt 3 phase 4 wire system, because 277 is the phase-to-neutral voltage for 480's phase-to-phase. The 480 volt wiring is generally used to power large industrial equipment, and the 277 volt wiring powers industrial scale lighting. These two voltages tend to go together because you do not need a transformer to use the 277 voltage, which cuts down on energy and construction costs.

This Earth Day, Bulbs.com is counting down our favorite ways to go green, with some practical tips and considerations to keep in mind during the celebration of our planet and throughout the year.

For decades, choosing a light bulb was a fairly simple task. We didn't have all these choices we now have today. Wattage meant brightness and we didn't have to worry about dimmer compatibility.
Yes, there is a lot of new products and information out there now, but that's okay. Change is good.
These new products can help us save energy, money and the planet through innovative, lower-wattage, long-life products that don't produce nearly as much pollution during the manufacturing process as older types of lighting.
Products such as CFLs and LEDs will help to reduce your energy bills, labor costs and even HVAC related costs. And as a Property Manager -of one location or many- that can make all the difference.
Phased-out bulbs, new efficiency standards, updated packaging labels and LED improvements over the last few years have presented some challenges, but they have also opened up a number of opportunities.
Whether you're upgrading for the first time from incandescent to CFLs or you're making the move to LEDs, here are some things you should keep in mind.

As a distributor of lighting products it can be challenging and often time consuming to find the right products for your customers' needs. Also, constant changes in technology and recent government legislation can make it difficult to keep up. Most recently, LED lighting and the PAR Halogen/T12 Fluorescent lamp Phase-out have been keeping us busy. Here are a few things you should know:
LED lamps are becoming more popular by the minute! The good news is that this technology is rapidly improving and in turn, the cost is decreasing. Yes, LEDs may still come at a higher cost, but consider these worthwhile benefits:

The beginning of 2012 marked a change in the way we thing about lighting. Earlier this year, The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 outlined new regulations to phase-out inefficient incandescent general service bulbs over a four-year period-in California this started a year earlier in 2011.
The phase-out process began with the 100 watt incandescent in January of this year and will be followed by the 75 watt in 2013 and the 60 watt and 40 watt incandescents in 2014. Fortunately, there are many replacement options available that provide the same quality of light but meet the new standards and you can learn more about them in the Bulbs.com Learning Center under Incandescent Phase-out.
Following the incandescent bulb phase-out, PAR Halogen and Reflector lamps will begin their own phase-out starting on July 14, 2012. To be compliant with EISA's energy efficient standards and a ruling by the Department of Energy in 2009, any parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) or reflector bulb that is 40 watts of higher can no longer be manufactured for use in the United States. This includes PAR38, PAR30 (short and long-necked), BR30, BR40 and R20 halogen lamps. These bulbs are extremely popular with businesses and homeowners, so we have increased our inventory to meet the needs of customers during the transition period. However, as inventory supplies are depleted in the marketplace, the time will come to look at replacement options.

Much like our recent blog post about the different types of lighting for the hospitality industry, the retail industry requires just as much attention when it comes to the products you sell and the environment you are creating for your customer.
It's safe to say that just about every manager or business owner is looking for ways to save. Energy costs from HVAC and lighting are no exception. The most common options are energy saving compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and LEDs. Both can produce quality light with the CRI needed for retail locations.
In the past, CFLs did not perform as well as they do today. Light quality, color temperature and average rated life of the bulb have all made significant improvements over the years. Still, it is a wise choice to purchase a reputable brand as there are some very inexpensive CFLs that often fail to meet their claim. Here is a great post if you would like to delve deeper into CFLs as an option. There are even dimmable options for spiral CFLs and CFL reflectors. Tip: Speak with one of our Lighting Specialists as some lighting controls (dimmers, occupancy sensors) are not always compatible with dimmable CFL lamps. Additionally, if you are currently using a large quantity of halogen lamps to light your space, CFLs are a great solution as they produce very little heat.

Mike Connors joined the Bulbs.com team in 2000, and was selected as Chief Executive Officer in 2009. Prior to becoming CEO, he spent several years serving as VP of Sales.
The March 2011 EcoPinion survey entitled "Lighting the Path Forward for Greater Energy Efficiency" offers interesting if not insightful commentary regarding the acceptance and usage of energy efficient lighting products by U.S. households.
It's important to note that at first glance one might believe that a survey conducted by an organization named "Ecoalign" would be slanted in some way toward favorable opinions of energy efficient or green products because the respondents were predominantly environmentalists – This is not the case. The methodology used for the survey used a statistically significant sampling size of respondents who were targeted according to gender, age, census region and ethnicity. The sample was drawn from Survey Sampling International's SurveySpot online consumer panel, an organization that is highly regarded as a sample provider in the market research industry.

trend alert – textured tights for Spring
spring stockings
I'm usually not a stocking kind of girl, but I don't mind the look of a textured stocking in a light color. Well, that's what Spring is calling for.
arrow pattern
Psst… these are my new shoes.
When I saw these, I figured I could work with them. I have trouble with fishnet stockings, I have a notion in my head that they are meant for street-walkers. Although, I've recently seen them in a light color, and they look smashing! I didn't get "whore" from them at all.
texture to work
Textured tights and stockings can definately make an appearnce at work, but be careful.
- Keep it simple
- Don't go too short on the dress or skirt
- Keep the pattern playful
- Simply DON'T if you work on Wall Street
back to work
Come on Jean .. try to look more enthusiastic than that!! See you tomorrow xoxo

Cyberbully (stylized cyberbu//y) is a television film that premiered on July 17, 2011 on ABC Family. ABC Family worked with Seventeen magazine to make the film, and hopes it will "delete digital drama". The film tells the story of a teenage girl who is bullied online.[1] It was filmed in Montreal.[citation needed] The film was released on DVD February 7, 2012.
|This section requires expansion. (October 2012)
Taylor Hillridge (Emily Osment) is a teenage girl who is being raised by her single mother, Kris (Kelly Rowan), along with her younger brother, Eric (Robert Naylor). She is close friends with two other girls, Samantha Caldone (Kay Panabaker) and Cheyenne Mortenson (Meaghan Rath). Earlier, Taylor made a seemingly innocuous comment to one of her classmates, Lindsay Fordyce (Nastassia Markiewicz), to which Lindsay took great offense.
She receives a computer for her seventeenth birthday from her mom. At first, Taylor is excited by the independence of going online without her mother always watching her. Meanwhile, her crush, Scott asks her to the dance, to which she says yes. Cheyenne is happy for her, but Samantha does not like Scott because she previously went out with his friend, who later dumped her. Taylor soon finds herself the victim of cyberbullying when she becomes a member of a social website named Cliquester. Things begin to go wrong when Taylor's brother, Eric, hacks into her account and posts a defamatory message about his sister. Students at school write horrid comments about her and she becomes afraid to face her friends at school. Taylor also meets a guy named James online and thinks he is just being nice, but winds up spreading a rumor that Taylor slept with him. Taylor gets pegged as a "slut" and "whore" as a result of the bullying. The abuse that Taylor receives from the hands of her schoolmates pushes her to a breaking point. Scott also tells Taylor that he cannot take her to the dance and Cheyenne and Samantha begin to turn their backs on Taylor. Overcome with depression, Taylor posts a video online saying that she can no longer live with herself. Samantha sees this and quickly goes to Taylor's house and finds her trying to commit suicide by overdosing with pills, but cannot get the cap off. Taylor is then sent to a hospital. Taylor's mom learns from the incident and takes on the school system and state legislation to prevent others from going through the same problem as her daughter. Taylor's mom recommends that she go to a support group and get help. She finds that one of her classmates, Caleb is going through the same exact thing, only he is targeted for being gay. Taylor finds support in the group and deals with the bullying much better. She finds out that her best friend Samantha is the one who created the "James" profile and set Taylor up. Samantha feels guilty and becomes a victim of cyberbullying herself. Taylor finds out about this and tells her about her support group and eventually forgives Samantha, rekindling their friendship. In the end, Taylor, Samantha, Cheyenne, Caleb, and Scott all stand up against Lindsay. Lindsay eventually backs down from cyberbullying and a law is passed to help fight against bullying.

The film received a generally positive review from Common Sense Media, who gave the film a 4 out of 5 star rating, stating "Cyberbully is a great jumping-off point for talking to teens about the very real dangers that exist online. The movie does a good job of working in most of the hot-button issues related to this topic, including the anonymity that exists online, the legal loopholes that enable cyberbullying, the social pressure on teens to partake in digital relationships, and the emotional devastation that bullying inflicts on its victims and their families."[2]

- How to Read a Study Record
Pulling the eyeball during ophthalmic surgery provokes decrease in heart rate. This phenomenon is called oculocardiac reflex. In some patients asystole may occur. Other cardiac features of this reflex include hypotension, dysrhythmias, atrioventricular block. These cardiovascular disturbances may lead to decreased perfusion and ischemia of vital organs. Patients with existing cardiovascular disease are in risk of complications. Cardiovascular system is mainly innervated with autonomic nervous system (ANS). Sympathetic/parasympathetic activity may be determined by Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV analysis based on short 5 minutes electrocardiography has been found useful for prediction of hypotension and bradycardia during induction of general anaesthesia and during spinal block. The aim of this study is to verify whether it is possible to predict oculocardiac reflex with the use of HRV analysis for ANS activity assessment, measured prior to the ophthalmic surgery.

Neighborhood news: Citrus Park
Oh, we laughed, we hooted and we stomped the floor as Dale Cotie emceed the Gray 90s production of "That's Life," written and directed by Doris O'Connor. A trio of "Irish Lassies," clad in glitzy costumes, sang a risqué Irish song, which had the audience laughing through the chorus, and the Black and White dancers stole the show with their clever routine. The skits were a lot of fun and we were pleased to learn that longtime stage productions participant, Chuck Flood, was selected to join former Gray 90s thespians on the Wall of Fame in the clubhouse.
The softball season ended with the Michigan vs The World games on Saturday. Michigan won both games and the event attracted a good crowd who really did not want the season to end. I wonder how much of the attraction to the Field of Dreams games has to do with the yummy hot dogs and beverages served by softball supporters at Al's Place.
Fifteen members of the Rejoice in the Lord Bible study gathered at my snowbird nest for a delightful luncheon on Wednesday. Mary Henry entertained us with beautiful flute music as we gathered and we departed to the beat of "The Saints Go Marching In." Sweet!
About 100 students from the Bonita Springs Creative Arts and Fitness Center competed against residents of Citrus Park during our annual Gold and Silver Day on Monday. Citrus Park's Clown Crew entertained our guests, conducted fun and creative activities and everyone feasted on a delicious lunch at the snack bar. One resident observed that the kids were not only talented, interested and competitive but they were well mannered as well. Hats off to the gold and the silver!
Thanks to inclement weather and sickness among the synchronized swimming team, the annual Synch Swim Show was canceled. We send our best wishes to them as they recover and we will look forward to their show next season.
During our recent barbershop program, former Citrus Park resident and fine guitarist, Neil Grove, played and sang several selections. It was so good to hear him again. Thanks, Neil.
The Captain has provided so much fun for us this year on Wednesday nights when karaoke rocks the rec hall. Last week, the sisters in action, Deb Lewis and Linda Dickenson, made it a Relay for Life fundraising event. As team captain of the Sassy Survivors, our Relay for Life team, I take my purple hat off to those who have cared enough to share.
We recalled many former karaoke nights shared with Tami Blake and Kathy Dettmer who joined the angels during the past year.
I am sure some of you are slurping your coffee, munching on delicious pancakes and visiting with friends at our last pancake breakfast of this season as you read the Citrus Park news. I hope to see you at the last dance of the season when Tammy Truitt sings and dances with us until our dancing shoes smoke and we are ready to say "Adios," tonight at the clubhouse.
Big events coming up during this month include the Kids Easter Bunny Party on April 17, our annual Easter Sunrise Service, complete with refreshments and the floral cross, Easter dinner at the clubhouse and "The Music Man" at the Broadway Palm Theater on April 24.
There are always many activities going on to entertain us, plans for next year's programs and activities to put onto the agenda.
Many of our neighbors are packing out of paradise. As the motorcade progresses northward toward new adventures and renewed friendships,
I am reminded of the blessings I enjoy as a retiree in southwestern
Florida and thank God for each. Many of them are the friendships, which enrich my life every day. Have a happy and healthy season filled with treasured memories. Take some pictures and share them when we get together again in the fall. Make this one count, folks.

How to Clean Carpet Stains
Nothing ruins a party or quality time with kids and pets like a fresh stain on the carpet. Whether it's a spilled drink or a bathroom accident, you will notice that anything staining your carpet tends to linger visually and in the way it smells. Immediate treatment with a specially-formulated carpet solution is the best way to clean carpet stains. Since most carpet is highly absorbent, and many can be light in color, it takes special cleaner and a somewhat complex process to remove carpet stains thoroughly and efficiently.
1Remove as much dirt, debris or liquid from the carpet as possible.
- Vacuum up dry, crumbly material. Scrape anything sticky off the carpet with a Popsicle stick or butter knife. Soak up excess liquid with a paper towel.
2Apply a carpet stain removal solution to the stained area.
- Buy solutions in the cleaning sections of most stores. You can also make your own if you combine equal parts white vinegar and distilled water, and then add a couple squirts of dish soap.
- Lighter fluid is an excellent carpet cleaner for many stains.
3Allow the solution to soak into the stain for 10 minutes, or whatever amount of time is recommended on the bottle of store-bought solution.
- Keep children and pets away from carpeted areas topped with store-bought solution, as the chemicals they are made of can be very harsh.
4Blot the stained area with a paper towel, rag or special carpet-cleaning tool. The stain should blot away. If you can still see it, apply the solution again and continue scrubbing once it has soaked for the recommended amount of time.
5Dab a washcloth soaked in distilled water over the freshly-cleaned area to rinse off any remnants of cleaning solution. Blot the area dry with a clean paper towel or washcloth.
6Vacuum the area quickly to straighten the carpet back up and to prevent any part of the stain still remaining deep in the carpet from rising up to view.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- If you have a shop vacuum (wet/dry vacuum), rinse the treated area with water and use it to suction out the water and stain. This is often faster and more effective than repeated blotting.
- Treat carpet stains as quickly as possible. The longer they are allowed to soak into the carpet, the more difficult they are to remove.
- Do not scrub solution into the stain. The solution works by lifting the stain up to the surface of the carpet where it can be blotted. If you scrub, you are pushing the stain back down into the carpet instead of removing it.
- Some stains cannot be removed no matter how hard you work on them, or what kind of solution you use. The only other options you have with permanent staining is to replace the carpet or temporarily cover the stain with furniture or a throw rug.

Personal Statement:
Hans studied biology at the University of Marburg and graduated with a Ph.D. in cardiac molecular biology from the University of Freiburg, Germany. He was the first postdoc in the Murry Lab when it opened its doors in 1996 and is now a Senior Research Scientist in the lab. Thus, he has seen the early beginnings of cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction and was involved in studies testing the effects of skeletal muscle cell, cardiac muscle cell and bone marrow cell engraftment for cardiac repair. Nonetheless, cell therapy is still an evolving field with many unanswered questions, e.g. regarding the "right� cell type and/or cell type combination for efficient electromechanical integration of the graft cell population with the host myocardium. Hans is now specifically interested in the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for cardiac repair and their application in the context of bioengineered cardiac tissue constructs.

Hydrogen peroxide, recognized commonly as a teeth whitening agent, could also be a terribly sensitive, light-weight blue colored liquid with the chemical formula H2O2. Additionally it's the natural by-product that's created throughout oxygen metabolism among the body of with regards to all living organisms. As a result of its robust oxidizing qualities, it has been identified for a large choice of applications within the business and healthcare areas. It's widely used for maintaining dental and mouth hygiene. But, before continuing into more points, let's take a look closer look at its most vital uses.
Uses Of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a typical household product with varied uses. It's a great disinfectant and antiseptic which could actually be used for skin infections as well as minor cuts and wounds; it rids the infected skin of germs and microorganisms. In addition, it cures cold blisters, pest bites and pimples. As many know, it's also a well-liked product created for teeth whitening and as a mouth wash. Within the business area, it is additionally a bleaching agent that you will use as a distinct for chlorine-based chemicals. Sodium per borate additionally as sodium per carbonate are undoubtedly the two most often used bleaches in laundries, and together every one of them are made up of hydrogen peroxide. It is also used to kill odors, notably within the industries for metal oxidation (rust) and corrosion, and to sanitize surgical and medical equipment.
Hydrogen Peroxide as Mouthwash
When applied as a mouthwash, hydrogen peroxide will get rid of the microorganisms and harmful bacteria within the mouth to eliminate issues like bad breath and gingivitis; it's wonderful for wiping out the micro-organisms and harmful bacteria that lead to oral plaque. Therefore, gargling with it will effectively prune the number of cases of common oral and gum disorders, trench mouth, and mouth sores and ulcers. Besides eliminating dangerous bacteria and microorganisms, hydrogen peroxide might bleach your teeth, as a result of its robust bleaching properties.
Is It Harmless to Use Hydrogen Peroxide As Mouthwash?
Generally, a third hydrogen peroxide concentration is considered risk-free to be used for health functions. Some people believe that a one-third solution is just too concentrated to be used within the mouth, that a tenth solution would be much more acceptable to be used as a mouthwash. Thus, several advise diluting it before utilizing as a mouthwash. However, in general, a tenth to one solution is thought to be safe and used as a mouthwash, and for cleaning up cuts and wounds. It's also necessary to not use a too much hydrogen peroxide at only once, as it foams within the mouth, expanding its volume.
Hydrogen peroxide is often accessible in many of the medical stores at a third concentration. However, it's important to read the content label of the bottle before buying it to ensure that you simply are shopping for a 3rd or less concentration, marked for home use and not industrial use. Again, do not assume dilution isn't needed, it's advisable to dilute even the three concentration. When utilizing hydrogen peroxide mouth wash, do not forget to cleanse your mouth properly with clean water afterwards. When utilized within the applicable concentrations, hydrogen peroxide is economical in controlling and eliminating many mouth issues, however care has to be taken to follow the directions, like diluting and flushing the mouth with water to see the positive results.

I find that recent unsigned and undocumented editorial comments to be more the rule than the exception in the Monitor these days. Sunday, June 20, "The sinking of the presidency," was unsigned and one-sided and may indicate the bias of the current Monitor editorial staff, while Wednesday, June 23, "Obama and Clinton: The best and brightest" was written by a Jeffry Gardner. Just who is Gardner, what are his credentials and why are such vitriolic and poorly written opinions allowed to be presented undocumented?
I quote a statement from Jon Meacham, editor of Newsweek and co-anchor of the new PBS program "Need To Know:" "The fact that anybody can now say anything publicly does not mean that anything anybody says is worth hearing." Perhaps your recent editorials fall into this category?
The Monitor is slipping lower than I am willing to put up with and I do not call your editorial page journalism.

Hello, welcome to my new
home on the web
Additional links coming soon on
history, (ancient and medieval), urban legends, dolls, cooking,
For more of my personal story go to Personal herstory
First, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I live in Boston with my dog Byron, my birds, an iguana, and lots of fish
I happen to have a chronic illness, and I am fully disabled. Lucky me. ...
At first I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, then, the diagnosis was changed to polyarthritis, now the diagnosis has been changed again, to lupus. At some point, I hope to be diagnosed as healthy, as this illness has taken away so much of my life. This disease, in what ever form is chooses to finally be. (although with the history of lupus in my family, and the complementary symptoms, I'm going with lupus) in the beginning of 2002. Sadly, if it is lupus, than my remaining time on this earth is shorter than one would expect. I come from healthy stock, except for the lupus, so I don't expect to be contesting my grandmother, or even my parents in the long lived Dumas contest.
I have also spent some time with my crystal ball, and my cards, and they tell me honestly to not expect many more years ahead of me, and that this illness will lead to my early death. So I'm accepting of what ever the goddess has in store for me.
Before becoming ill I worked in the occupational safety and workers compensation fields. Doing just a little bit of everything from, OSHA compliance, to workers' compensation claim management and a little bit of everything else. I decided to design this web page partly to teach myself about web design, partly to keep my brain active while my body healed. And to also provide information on the things that interest me.
After my husband asked for a divorce, I moved back to Boston and am starting life anew.
I have a Keeshond named Byron, after the Celtic writer, and I have some wonderful pictures of him that I will be adding to the web page.
I have two cockatiels, that I have named Cosmo and Wanda. They were part of a flock of five that I took with me when I left Connecticut. Their music fills my house with joy. Although I miss the music of five birds singing, I am glad to at least have the two of them with me now.
I also have an iguana, whom I call Iggy, not that he responds all that well. I obtained him when he was injured at the pet store I use to work for part time. He could no longer be sold with his injury, he tail will never regrow. So he needed a home, and being the person I am, well, here he is.
I am a practicing pagan, I have been practicing for more than 20 year. Throughout the time I have been practicing, and being an active out, pagan I have discovered that a lot of people do not understand much about my faith. I have found that a large number of people either have no idea that Wicca is a true religion, or think that we are little more than what they see on television. So just for the record, I neither point, nor twitch. I pray, give offerings, and ask the goddess for helping solving my problems. Just as any other person would. Yes I do use tarot cards, and sightings, as part of my faith. But only as part of my faith. While many people will do tarot readings, sightings, or charms and spells for people I do not do so. For Wicca is my religion, my faith, my rules for living, not a parlor trick.
Blessed BE
Well my life has changed so much since I started doing this web page. So many changes, it feels like I am an entirely new person, living an entirely new life. Visit my web blog to see how I am doing right now, and to follow some of my recent history. I will have a bio page up soon.
Not all of the links are active yet, as I bring more pages on line, each link will become active again. While all the pages I have links to are not the newest version, they still have enough information to keep them on the web. I also plan on expanding the web site some as time goes on. Be patient with me, life is becoming a very big adventure. Even mastering the new process for uploading my web page is an adventure.

15th Cebu Franchise Expo set from March 7 to 9-A A +A
Thursday, February 20, 2014
BUSINESS and entrepreneurship are both flourishing in the Philippines. This is evident with the developments and the increasing number of businesses and franchises opening.
This year's 15th Cebu Franchise Expo is expected to be full and colorful. The exposition will be happening this coming March 7 to 9, 2014 in SM City Cebu Trade Hall.
All the 80 booths are filled with franchises from different industries and locations.
There will be exhibitors from Manila, Davao, Cavite, Iloilo, Cebu, and even from Singapore. Participants are from different trades like bakeshops, cafés, drug stores, restaurants, wellness, and others.
The event will feature top franchise companies and the best products. There will also be seminars on the basics and legalities of franchising by Rudolf Kotik and trademark registration by Nedjet Capuno.
"Franchising is the best way to expand their business around the Philippines," Kotik, founder of RK Franchise Consultancy, said.
Kotik noted that the food industry is still on top of the hottest franchises in the country. Next is beauty and wellness, as more people are becoming more conscious of their looks at this digital age.
The expo is expecting a lot of foot traffic, especially with the positive economy and availability of spaces. They are also targeting to develop 60 franchises within the year.
Aside from Cebu, the expo will be making rounds in other cities. Next will be Davao, this September. (ADO)

Inventory before backup
I use Backup Exec 2012 with a DELL TL2000 Tape Library 24 slots/2 LTO5 drive and i noticed Backup Exec take each tape to 'i suppose' do a kind of inventory before starting the backup. So the job stays in queue for a long time before starting.
Is there a way to avoid such an inventory ?
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I confirm that just after "Inventory now" completed, when i start a backup job, each tape are loaded then unloaded ...
Ths second issue i have following this, is that Backup Exec asks to import à tape but there is plenty of empty tape in it ... I don't understand .
Please take a look at the attached print screen. Thank you.
Hi Colin,
Can you please explain "the append setting for the first tape in a job" ?
I'm not sure to understand well.
Following what you said i scratched my tape and now my backup is running (hopefully)
But using the following print screen can you tell me what can be done with tape in slot 6 and tape in slot 7 for example ? What's the deifference ?
Thank you
When you write to a tape, you can specify in your job "Append, otherwise overwrite". This means that your job will append to a tape if an appendable tape is available, otherwise, it will use an overwritable tape. This is fhe option that Colin is refering to. You can only append to the first tape. When the first tape is full, BE will need an overwritabe tape for the 2nd and subsequent tapes.
The tape in slot 6 cannot be be appended to because the end marker is bad, probably due to a job failure. After the expiry of the protection period, i.e. after 21/12/2012, you can overwriite it or you can move it to the scatch media set make it overwritable immediately.
The tape in slot 7 can be overwritten immediately because it is not longer protected.
I would suggest that you familarise yourself with the media management section of the Admin Guide.

With the launch of Microsoft Windows Vista®, it was necessary to update the underlying Microsoft technology on which PigCom is based (Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL server)
Windows 7 appears to be the natural successor to the highly successful Windows XP. The further development of Windows software has meant we have had to keep pace with PigCom installations. This meant having a Windows 7 (and Windows 8) compatible installation was necessary, along with providing for 64 bit versions of the operating system. Further to this, with Office 2010 and later versions, there are also 64bit versions of office. As 32 bit and 64 bit Office versions cannot co-exist on the same machine, we also needed to accomodate those people who have chosen (against Microsoft's own advice) to install the 64 bit office version.
Whilst the installations below are fully compatible with Windows 8, a pre-requisite for successful installtion is that "Microsoft dot net 3.5" needs to be installed prior to trying to install PigCom. Windows 8 comes with "Microsoft dot net 4.5" installed by default, but "Microsoft dot net 3.5" is available from the installation media (DVD) or from the Microsoft website.
Please visit the Microsoft website for further details on how to do this.
32 Bit Windows
Please contact us if you need the PigCom installation for Windows XP. As Windows XP support has been withdrawn by Microsoft, this version is now only available on request.
64 Bit Windows
For instructions on how to determine which versions of the operating system you are currently using, please visit our Support/frequently asked questions (FAQ) page HERE.

Students blogging about BBC life
Three Baptist Bible College students are now blogging about campus life, sharing their thoughts on classes, campus-wide activities, and various ministries they are involved in.
The new student blog is online at www.bbc.edu/blog.
The three writers -- Jamie Knowles, Dan Nichols, and Sam Mader -- will post several entries each week. Visitors to the blog can post comments and dialogue with the writers.
Blogs, short for web logs, are websites providing a flow of regular commentary and entries. They often contain links and images in addition to text.
The student blog is designed to give college students, parents, and prospective students a look into college life at BBC and enable them to engage writers on the topic of the day.
Student writers include:
- Jamie Knowles, a first semester senior studying history in the Specialized Ministries program. She enjoys life on campus and plans for another year and a half at BBC.
- Dan Nichols, a Pastoral ministries major, served as student body president in 2008-2009. He is looking forward to working in the Admissions Department as a counselor in the fall. He and his fiance, Lacey Fraser, are planning an August wedding.
- Sam Mader, a sophomore studying Youth Ministries and Music, counts it a huge blessing to be at BBC. She enjoys residence hall life, worshiping God with her guitar, and serving in her church.
Read their full profile here.
The three student bloggers will be writing throughout the semester. Other students may be added, too.
The BBC blog site also includes links to blogs hosted by Baptist Bible College & Seminary faculty.
Baptist Bible College & Seminary offers an outstanding Christian education through on campus, online, and other distance learning options. Students learn to serve and lead as they gain critical leadership and life skills. To learn more, go to www.bbc.edu or call 570.586.2400.

Minute repeating clock watch by Thomas Mudge
London, England, around AD 1755
Thomas Mudge was one of the first chronometer makers in England to make a successful minute repeating mechanism for the watch. The quarter repeating mechanism for watches, first introduced in the late seventeenth century by Daniel Quare in competition with Thomas Tompion, had become more and more refined during the eighteenth century. At first, depressing the pendant of the watch would cause it to strike the last hour and quarter on a bell in the back of the case. This was followed by half-quarter repeating and five minute repeating systems. The minute repeat, however, was the most sophisticated of all: the watch would sound the last hour, the last quarter, and the number of minutes past the last quarter. This mechanism was a very demanding one and was only achieved by the finest makers.
Such a watch enabled more accurate telling of the time in the dark, and, as a rare and finely-made instrument, would have reflected the considerable status of its owner. It is known that King Ferdinand VI of Spain (reigned 1746-59) had a special interest in Mudge's work and possessed one of his minute repeating clock watches.
