I have neglected this site. Well, I've been in Venice. And Italy. Only for 2 weeks, but I like to say, "I just went to Paris". Anyway, it shows how well I am doing, that I've even went. Though I have no idea if it's the worms.
Since I've neglected writing, there has been a lot going on in the worm world. TSO trials have begun for Crohn's disease in the United States and abroad. Helminth therapy is being discussed all over the press, from Moises Velasquez's book An Epidemic of Absence, to news articles from CBS to Science, all about the potential benefits of being infected with worms.
And what about me and my worms? I don't know if I'm even hosting hookworms. I still need to do an egg count, and see if any of the 8 I dosed with are still alive. I don't know how much sub Q IG is helping on its own; (I switched from IVig to subQ IG, which means subcutaneous Immune Globulins, which I do a dose of 50 g weekly. ) It seems to help. The pyoderma around the stoma has never come back. The Crohn's? I'm not really sure how much inflammation I have since I'm overdue for a test. I need to do a colprotectin stool sample and take blood CRP and SED measurements. From how my gut feels, I suspect some low grade inflammation both in my ileal-cecal area and the rectum, since I have periodic burny pain in the former and too much mucus coming from the latter. Though the mucus is also dependant on my sweet consumption; more honey and sugar equals more mucus, when I cut back, it also recedes. Though I don't seem to have the willpower to keep to the right diet for long.
I am 175 pounds, however. I need to start exercising more because I can't say it is all muscle. On the one hand, it is nice to have a little extra fat for once in my adult life, and I am enjoy having breasts and thighs, but my belly is getting to be too much, and my arms are starting to look bad. I know it is from eating too many carbohydrates, and if I could just stick to a paleo diet I would return to about 165 pounds and stay there, depending on how much I exercise. But I guess a testament to how well I'm doing is my reluctance to be fully strict with diet. In other words, I'm mostly getting away with it. And REALLY enjoying food.
The colostomy is probably helping me to maintain relative remission, because of the constant inflammation I had in the rectum and multiple bowel movements before that; it was harder to reach a consistent level of health. But I also hate it, it leaks sometimes and I can't control it. I have no idea when I'm going to have gas or a bowel movement, I can be caught in the worst places (most recently, on the 1.5 hour bus ride preceding the 2.5 hour train ride back from Siena to Venice, in which the seal completely failed, and I had shit coming down my underwear, into my pants, smelling terribly so that I would get up and move down the train after every fart With not enough wipes to clean myself, stuck in a tiny train bathroom, Italians knocking to get in, I cursed that colostomy. But I survived, made it back to my apartment in Venice, walked the streets of Paris, Venice, and Siena with strength and unending curiousity, feeling a sense of sadness for not being whole, but enjoying the hell out of it. I was there. I was well enough. And I drank lots and lots of wine.
In two weeks I go down to reinfect with 10 more hookworms in Mexico. National Geographic TV wants to film me. I'm not sure what to think. One might ask why I keep doing this if I don't even know if the worms are in there. That maybe I'm just chasing something that I think is helping, when in actuality, I'm some desperate individual hooked on getting infected with a microscopic parasite. But as the avalanche of studies and news articles pour in about the connection between a loss of commensals and the growing tide of autoimmunity, heart disease, cancer, depression, the list of ailments is going on so long, I can't even remember them all, it makes you want to do everything you can to prevent the modern ills of society. And I don't know if the worms are going to effect my Crohn's, or if the IG is pulling all the weight, or the turmeric supplements, or the diet that I try to follow. And at this point I'm trying not to care so much. I'd rather go to Italy. I'd rather drink "un demi-litro" of wine, and forget my troubles for a while. I know that when the worms are working, my skin is clearer, I can get away with eating more non-species appropriate food. I can go on and on with energy to push myself more than the average woman. Or maybe I just think the worms are doing this, and then it's the power of the placebo to keep my health above water, so I'm not always sinking from average to below average, or god forbid, the dreaded flare up from hell.
Maybe the worms are doing nothing, but preventing me from getting cancer, or heart disease, or Parkinson's, like my mother. I've learned not to rely on them 100%, however, that diet, and exercise, and meditation, and friendships are just as important, and it's the daily habits that add up to the lifetime of disease, or hopefully, health.
I'll update the science, the links, the data from my bloodtests. I'll let you know what the worms do in 2 weeks, if I get another high from them, or diarrhea, or nothing. Who knows?
I still want to get rid of this damn colostomy, but until my next colonoscopy, I'm trying to enjoy my life, develop my pedicab business, plant the winter garden, paint my house, homeschool my children, refinance my properties, get all of my friends to move onto the block, and hopefully, start painting again like the masters I saw in the Musee d'Orsey. Play more music with people. Drink more cappucinos and wine. Walk for hours, smoke more, love more, and try to forget for a moment, this monster called Crohn's that I should never had to experience in my life, and maybe, just maybe, my dream of going to Italy without a bag, without a disease, without a constant fear of what is quietly destroying myself inside quiets down to a dull, then silent whisper.
Maybe one day I can imagine myself well. And then they can invent a pill that makes you forget all that you suffered from before. So that when I look down at all of my abdominal scars, I can wonder what tree branch I caught myself on when I stumbled in that forest of abandon. Or maybe I tripped on a cobblestone and scraped myself on a gondola as I fell drunkenly into the canal.
Will I still be travelling to Mexico every 6 months for more worms?

The big crunch: Capacity grows, budgets shrink
The brief respite storage managers enjoyed from the ever-escalating need for more disk capacity appears to be over. Respondents to our 2008 Purchasing Intentions survey say they'll add an average of 47TB of new disk capacity this year. But they'll have to do it with smaller storage budgets. And while virtualization could help respondents use their storage more efficiently, it's still receiving a cool reception.
| Increased capacity demands are the overriding theme of this year's Storage Purchasing Intentions survey.
Last year, Storage magazine's Storage Purchasing Intentions survey revealed a slowdown in the amount of disk storage companies intended to add. At that time, respondents said the average capacity they expected to add was 38TB--hardly small change, but it did represent a slight dip from 2006's 40TB. This year, on average, storage managers expect to add 47TB of new disk capacity (see "Relentless growth of disk capacity" below).
Not all companies will add so much capacity, but most will have to increase disk space to their existing infrastructure. "We estimate somewhere around 35TB," says Jean Kocur, information systems director at Pittsburgh-based MSA Associates. Although a bit smaller than the average capacity growth, MSA's new 35TB is on top of the 38TB the company added last year to a total installed capacity of more than 350TB.
At Manulife Financial in Toronto, management sees a trend that will require an additional 15TB of disk in 2008, but Jean Veronneau, director of storage, thinks the estimate is conservative. "I'm predicting 40TB," he says. Manulife Financial is in the ending stages of a storage technology refresh initiated last year that brought its installed capacity up to approximately 250TB. "Everything is going to grow," says Veronneau. "What might happen is we'll add a lot more NAS into the environment."
The University of Oklahoma in Norman has a mix of Hitachi Data Systems and EMC Corp. storage. With nearly 200TB of disk already installed, the university still needs more capacity. "We just bought an AMS1000 [Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage] two weeks ago, and we'll probably get another 1000 for the North campus," says Fred Keller, IT director of enterprise storage and backup for the university's three campuses.
Ripple effects of capacity growth
Having to commit such a large portion of their available funds to disk means other initiatives will have to be shelved or delayed. Storage managers are seriously considering newer technologies, such as data deduplication and change management applications that lessen the need for buying more disk.
"I also want to start looking into deduping, at least on the file-share side of the house," says Kocur. "I don't like the fact that we're growing data so rapidly. I think there's a lot of wasted space out there."
Besides becoming a potential gateway to newer technologies, the capacity boom is a key reason why some companies will be opening the doors of new or refurbished data centers. Forty percent of our respondents will either build or renovate data centers this year and, of those, 70% say the need for more capacity is the main motivation behind those efforts.
Show me the money
Caught between higher capacity requirements and lower budgets, storage managers have altered their buying plans. For example, 46% of those planning to buy arrays are considering midrange systems over higher end arrays, the highest percentage we've seen in four years. It may be that buyers are willing to accept somewhat lower performance and eschew some features found only on higher end storage arrays.
A more telling statistic is the overall picture of disk storage expenditures. On average, nearly 40% of storage managers' disk budgets will be used to buy disks to be installed in existing storage arrays. This far outdistances the 24% allotted for new Fibre Channel (FC) arrays, and continues a trend that began last spring (see "Where disk dollars are going," (PDF) below).
"Based on our size, I don't see us having to add another storage array," says Ed Sitz, IT manager in the Kansas City offices of Med James Inc. "If anything, we'll just add storage capacity to it. We have slots available in both of our enclosures for Fibre and SATA drives."
Twenty-seven percent of respondents have iSCSI storage in their shops, and 40% either have or will deploy it in 2008. In smaller (and ostensibly more cash-strapped firms) the pickup in interest is even greater: 46% of small companies will deploy iSCSI this year vs. 37% a year ago, while 43% of midsized companies plan to go the iSCSI route vs. last spring's 28%.
Med James installed its first SAN last year and opted for iSCSI. The firm's EMC Clariion has a mix of FC and SATA disks totaling approximately 5TB. Cost and ease of deployment compared to an FC array were two key factors that led Med James to select an iSCSI array. "We don't use Fibre switches or HBAs [host bus adapters]--it's all iSCSI," says Sitz.
There's a lot to like about iSCSI, not the least of which is its relative low cost. Twenty-eight percent of those surveyed say their top reason for considering iSCSI is its cheaper price over FC storage. Not far behind was the need for low-cost capacity (21%).
But price isn't the only reason why a growing number of companies are looking at iSCSI systems. Some concerns about iSCSI--its performance, reliability and security--have eroded over the last few years. Only 15% of our respondents feel that iSCSI's performance would be inadequate, and 14% expressed uneasiness about its reliability. Security appears to have become a nonissue with slightly more than 2% citing iSCSI's safety as a reason for not deploying it in 2008.
iSCSI is being used more frequently to host critical applications. Forty-two percent of respondents would use iSCSI storage for their mission-critical apps, a considerable jump from the 32% who said the same on last fall's survey. Email is, arguably, a mission-critical app for most companies, and 43% of those surveyed use iSCSI storage for that important application.
More disk, more backup pain
Twenty-nine percent of respondents plan to increase their spending for tape backup systems, the lowest figure in the six years we've conducted the survey. Twenty-eight percent will decrease spending on tape vs. last year, which is also a record for our surveys (see "Tape buying dips," below). We've also seen a steady decline in the average number of slots users expect to implement in the tape libraries they'll buy, although that figure (130 slots) is essentially the same as last spring's.
But don't assume tape is out of the picture. "Later this year, I'm going to implement a petabyte storage system for the South campus," says Keller at the University of Oklahoma. "That'll be primarily tape, but with some disk up front." Keller's system will likely include up to 10 LTO-4 drives. LTO-4 offers high capacity and built-in encryption, but its adoption has been less than rapid. Still, 23% of respondents are planning LTO-4 implementations this year vs. last fall's 13%, making it clear that the technology's adoption is picking up steam.
Some storage managers are looking at other ways to grapple with backup issues. Deduplication figures prominently in plans, whether it's actual implementations or just some serious evaluation. Keller says the university hasn't implemented any kind of deduplication yet, but notes "it's sorely needed here."
"I think we need to do a better job with data deduplication and moving some of our file shares over to lower cost storage," says Med James' Sitz, anticipating a future crunch. But for now his situation is well under control. "I've looked at a few of the deduplication apps, but I think they're probably beyond what we need," he adds.
With dedupe being integrated into more and more virtual tape libraries (VTLs), it's now taken far more seriously as a sound method to remedy stressed-out backup systems. Twenty-four percent of our respondents will implement (or have already implemented) dedupe technology in 2008, which is up from last fall's 17%. And another 42% have begun to evaluate dedupe or plan to do so this year (see "On storage managers' radar for 2008," below). Underscoring dedupe's ascendancy, Data Domain Inc.--a company that makes deduplication appliances--rose to fifth place on our survey's "Main vendor for disk-to-disk backup" list, overtaking such stalwarts as Sun Microsystems Inc. and NetApp. And 44% of respondents will increase dedupe spending this year vs. 31% a year ago.
Manulife Financial's Veronneau is also keen on dedupe. "Between now and the end of the year, we're looking at the possibility of doing deduplication," he says. Veronneau says the very nature of his business makes dedupe a viable option. "An insurance company, investment company--think of how many documents we have and how many copies of those we probably have."
Kocur at MSA Associates sees data classification as a crucial step in helping to trim what's on her shop's systems to ease their backup process. "In order to be able to cut, you got to know what you've got," she says. Kocur says she'll need to enlist the content management groups at MSA. "I really need them to take ownership and clean up their stuff."
Over the past few surveys, VTL technology seemed to fall from favor, with the number of planned implementations decreasing each year. But this time around, it's apparent that interest in VTL has been renewed. Thirty-one percent are using a VTL, up from 23% last fall. And 32% say they've deployed a VTL--or plan to--this year (vs. 28% last fall).
Veronneau is also about to implement a VTL, which he hopes will not only ease backup window woes, but reduce Manulife Financial's tape inventories. "With 200TB of data on the midrange [arrays], I have 1.4PB of data on tapes."
Can virtualization help?
The reasons for the cool reception to storage virtualization have been well documented: it's costly, can be difficult and time-consuming to implement, and is tough to back out of if desired. While virtualization has certainly made inroads, survey responses largely reflect the difficulties associated with it, as 48% indicated that they haven't virtualized any of their storage. Those who have taken the virtualization plunge appear to be proceeding cautiously, with approximately 20% virtualizing some of their block or file storage. Still, among those who haven't virtualized, 67% have no planned storage virtualization purchases for 2008.
While he could add virtualization via his installed Hitachi Universal Storage Platform (USP) array, Keller at the University of Oklahoma still isn't convinced. "To do virtualization, I've got to give up some of my FED [front-end director] ports," he says. "I don't want to give up those resources."
With a droopy economy and lots of new capacity needs, storage managers will be watching every penny, trying to get past 2008 relatively unscathed. That explains the heightened interest in iSCSI, dedupe, VTLs and a handful of other newer technologies. It won't be an easy year, but it will be an interesting one.

Florida Avenue Baptist Church, a historic black institution in Washington, D.C.'s LeDroit Park neighborhood, seems ordinary at first glance. But walking past the curly CFL light bulbs dotting its hallways, and a flat-screen monitor reporting the congregation's carbon footprint in real time, you suspect that something's a little different. That difference is on the roof.
When the 500-member congregation had 44 solar panels installed in March 2011, it became the first African-American church in the District to be powered by solar energy.
"I tend to look toward the future, and we've always been pretty progressive here," the Rev. Earl Trent Jr. told The Root of the church's environmentally friendly decision, which he considers a natural extension of other long-standing projects, such as its health-and-wellness ministry, and demonstrations for fair wages and workers' rights.
So far the church's $60,000 investment in renewable power generation has reduced its $3,000 monthly electric bill by 15 percent, or $450, a benchmark that Trent said is just the first step: "It's raised our awareness, so now we're looking into other ways to be even more energy efficient.
"We're looking into window replacement, changing our lighting and how we use electricity — what stays on, and what can be turned off," he continued. "By making those adjustments, we hope that solar will produce about 25 percent of our electricity. Like most churches, we have an older building with expensive lighting and heating. When we were approached about going solar, it just made sense to go ahead and check this out."
The Business of Green
The idea came to Trent through Gilbert Campbell III, co-owner of Volt Energy, a renewable-energy firm that specializes in solar construction and development projects, primarily for university and corporate buildings. Campbell, 31, and his business partner, Simon Antonio Francis, 32, both Howard University graduates, launched their company 2 1/2 years ago after mentors encouraged them to break into the field. Before starting their business, Campbell, who majored in finance, worked in management consulting, and Francis, a biology major, worked in biotech sales.
"Like President Obama says, renewable energy is the direction in which the world is moving," Campbell explained about his business, which he said was working with 20 other churches around the country and had recently completed solar-energy projects with Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State University. "The project with Florida Avenue Baptist was a good partnership because it's given us the ability to show the members, and other churches, that it's not a foreign concept but something they can see and touch."
Trent explained that federal subsidies and local incentives (a cash grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that covered 30 percent of the system's cost, and D.C.'s solar-renewable-energy credit program, which allows the church to sell rights to the energy it produces on the open market) made the transition feasible. "As part of the stimulus package, the president made a commitment to renewable energy, and that, for us, made it affordable," Trent said.
He quickly raised the $60,000 needed to install the panels from a group of congregants who own and operate the system under a specially created LLC (limited liability company). They recouped $18,000 from a federal grant that rewards investments in renewable technology.
Additionally, the church receives a monthly $280 check from the sale of solar-renewable-energy certificates — one for every 1,000 kilowatts of power produced — to utility companies and power plants, which, in D.C. and 42 states, are required to purchase a certain amount of surplus clean energy from consumers. The church is also on the waiting list for a rebate program through the District Department of the Environment, which will provide more financial incentives to go solar.
"Between the grant paying for 30 percent of the costs of the system, plus the sale of our solar credits, plus the D.C. incentive, and the savings on electricity, we're looking at a three-year payback [on the initial investment]," said Trent.
Installing the glassy blue solar panels now lining the Florida Avenue Baptist Church roof took less than three weeks. With a U.S. Department of Labor grant, Volt Energy trained and hired local workers for the construction. "We're training 80 people over the next two years to do solar installation," Campbell said. "The job-training grant allows us to reach people who haven't had exposure to solar projects, and certify them to work in this industry."
Overall, the United States has adopted solar energy at a snail's pace; the country currently uses it for just .01 percent of its electrical needs. But despite this small base, the solar industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the American economy. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, U.S. production and installation of solar-power fixtures rose in 2010 to $6 billion, up from $3.8 billion in 2009. And in the first quarter of 2011 alone, solar energy increased by 66 percent.
This Little Light of Mine … Is Solar
Alease Smith-Pinkett, 64, admits that she was surprised when her pastor first approached parishioners about the idea. "Of course I'd heard about solar panels, but I never thought I would hear about them in church, quite frankly," she told The Root. "It's sparked a lot of excitement in the congregation. Now people at church are switching off lights, checking the thermostat and meeting about things we can do to be more energy efficient at home. It's almost a contest now, trying to have the lowest kilowatts on our energy bills!"
The church is also working with Volt Energy engineers to develop an after-school-program curriculum on renewable energy for middle school students. "We want this to be their introduction to what the possibilities are," Trent said. "When you ask a kid what they want to be when they grow up, they respond with what they see: a football player, a basketball player. But there's a whole industry out there that, unless they see it, they don't know. This makes it real to them."
Economic, environmental and educational benefits aside, Trent said that going green is chiefly a spiritual thing. "It comes out of stewardship, which is managing the gifts God gives you," he said. "It's part of our Christian responsibility to take care of this incredible gift [of the Earth] that was given to us. We haven't done such a good job. So we learn."
The Future Is Now
The concept of solar power may sound futuristic to some, but Campbell says that depends on where you live. "New Jersey, for example, is the second-fastest-growing state for solar after California," he said, "and it's not because New Jersey's a sunny state.
"In places with a high adoption of solar, like the West Coast, mid-Atlantic and Northeast," he continues, "the African-American community is very familiar with solar because they see it everywhere. Other parts of the country, like the South, are catching up."
In the faith community in particular, Trent said, the interest is growing. "They're calling me a solar evangelist," he said, adding that more than 30 other pastors have visited Florida Avenue Baptist Church to learn more. "At the end of the year, [the federal grant program] runs out, and we have no hopes that it will be renewed under the current Congress. So I tell them to get involved in this because the opportunity is now."
Most of all, Trent wants people to understand the viability of going solar — a transition that his flock was able to make smoothly. "Look, we're a midsize church," he said. "I tell them that they don't have to be a mega-church with thousands of members. If we can do this, you all can do it. Anybody can do it."

Texas residents caught driving with a few too many Lone Stars not only face criminal charges but thousands of dollars in extra fees from the state's license bureau. Now defense attorneys and MADD say the fees should stop.
Under a law passed in 2003, an inebriated driver convicted in Texas must pay the state $1,000 to $2,000 a year for three years. If convicted again, the fees rise up to $3,000 a year. If drivers can't pay, their licenses get revoked.
A Fort Worth attorney has filed a lawsuit challenging the law as unconstitutional, contending not only does it punish people twice for the same crime, it clogs the court system with defendants desperate to avoid convictions; prosecutors and judges don't have the power to waive the fees.
The august Texas Legislature has kinda sorta noticed that the state's generally impoverished residents might face some difficulty in coughing up the cash. And the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving has weighed in against the fees, saying they don't deter sloshed motorists. [Fort Worth Star Telegram]

text: In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, our experts (and animal residents) will be sharing what they're thankful for this year! Our third "Week of Thanks" post comes from the Aquarium's Manager of Animal Rescue, Jenn Dittmar: This year, I am most thankful for the collaborative relationships that allow us to respond to marine animals in need, and properly rehabilitate and release them! Our team is grateful to be part of a network of stranding response and rehabilitation facilities - which jointly cover the Northeast Atlantic coast - that work together to accomplish a common goal. This effort could not be more evident in the last year, as many of the animals we have responded to and rehabilitated were part of a larger group effort. It really does take a village! Together, our network has been able to accomplish some amazing things this year! Here are just a few highlights: In December of 2012, our friends at New England Aquarium were facing a severe cold-stun season for sea turtles. They reached out to us for help, and we answered by admitting 3 green sea turtles, 3 Kemp's ridley sea turtles, and 7 loggerheads. This same friendship came into play in January of 2013, when we partnered together to transport 32 sea turtles to Jacksonville, Florida. The trip was long and tiring, but in the end, nothing will ever replace the gratification of sending healthy turtles back into the wild. It was such a memorable trip, we turned around and made the same trek, just 3 months later! This time, we transported and released a record breaking 52 sea turtles, which included turtles from 8 sea turtle rehabilitation facilities from New York to South Carolina. After caring for a higher-than-normal influx of patients in 2012, our team was able to celebrate a huge milestone - the release of our 100th animal! We were excited to share this special day with our partners over at the National Marine Life Center! Number 100 looking healthy and ready to journey back into the ocean! All of this brings us to our current cold-stun sea turtle season. Due to a rapid drop in water temperature, our partners to the north have already seen an influx of sea turtle strandings. Last week, we shared that our team has admitted Maverick and Iceman, two Kemp's ridleys that stranded along New Jersey, rescued by the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. We have also just admitted a cold-stunned green sea turtle from Ocean City, Maryland yesterday, who was found and rescued by the US Coast Guard Station AND an additional 8 cold-stunned Kemp's ridleys from the New England Aquarium that arrived late last night. All 10 of the Kemp's are stable and eating, but will remain in rehab for several months. I am very thankful for the opportunity to be part of a truly amazing network of organizations, staff, and volunteers that support stranding response and the rehabilitation of these incredible animals!

Hick in New Yorker profile: "I'm not gonna run for president"
WASHINGTON — In a sneak peak into a New Yorker profile of Gov. John Hickenlooper that will hit newstands today, Hickenlooper finds himself leading Colorado further to the left in "major decisions on guns, civil unions and marijuana" delivered to him by the Democratic-controlled Colorado General Assembly.
This is a departure for Hickenlooper, New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza writes, because he campaigned in an almost non-partisan fashion in 2010 for governor and won by a wide margin.
Excerpts of the article were released by POLITICO late Sunday. The article posted this morning.
In Lizza's piece: "Hickenlooper, who campaigned as a governor who would appeal to ALL voters, has had trouble keeping up with the political changes in his own state. Colorado voted for Republican Presidential candidates in three consecutive elections, from 1996 to 2004. But an influx of young liberals drawn to the mountains, retirees from the Northeast, and a growing Latino population – now twenty per cent of the electorate — has made Colorado increasingly Democratic. Obama won the state in 2008 and 2012, and the state House and Senate are both controlled by Democrats. Colorado is part of a national trend: red states are becoming redder and blue states are becoming bluer."
"Hickenlooper began his tenure as a sensible centrist. But, instead of emphasizing the issues on which he campaigned – budget reform and economic development—he has found himself addressing a range of liberal social issues: gun control, civil unions, and a new law legalizing marijuana. A top aide summed up Hickenlooper's first two years as 'guns, gays, and grass.' He has learned the same lesson in Colorado that Obama learned in Washington: sooner or later, a politician has to choose sides."
The New Yorker writes Hickenlooper "dismissed" the idea that he would run for president.
"First separated but not divorced Presidential candidate!' he told me when I asked, Lizza wrote. 'That would be fun, that would be good for the media.'"

I hope in a MiST2 with HDMI output and other improvements


text: This is just the news I have been waiting for! Just yesterday, tech site VentureBeat reported that Funds John Albright, the BlackBerry 9800 (aka the Slider) will hit the market August 15 on AT&T. I have been able to confirm this here in Denver, as a reliable source of mine said that the 9800 ordering will soon begin for AT&T. We all know it would come soon and that it was for sure GSM, and he we see that AT&T will be the first to release, and sooner then expected. Now that this device is projected to launch so early, some have started to question whether or not it will come preloaded with OS6. Could BlackBerry's New OS6 be ready already??? We will have to wait and see!!

General or introductory materials
Powerful metaphors, images
Here is a collection of short descriptions, analogies or metaphors, that illustrate this difficult concept, or an aspect of it.
Imperative metaphors
- "In computing, a continuation is a representation of the execution state of a program (for example, the call stack) at a certain point in time" (Wikipedia's Continuation).
- "At its heart,
call/ccis something like the
gotoinstruction (or rather, like a label for a
gotoinstruction); but a Grand High Exalted
gotoinstruction... The point about
call/ccis that it is not a static (lexical)
gotoinstruction but a dynamic one" (David Madore's A page about
Functional metaphors
- "Continuations represent the future of a computation, as a function from an intermediate result to the final result" (Continuation monad section in Jeff Newbern's All About Monads)
- "The idea behind CPS is to pass around as a function argument what to do next" (Yet Another Haskell Tutorial written by Hal Daume III, 4.6 Continuation Passing Style, pp 53-56))
- Wikipedia's Continuation is a surprisingly good introductory material on this topic. See also Continuation-passing style.
- Yet Another Haskell Tutorial written by Hal Daume III contains a section on continuation passing style (4.6 Continuation Passing Style, pp 53-56)
- HaWiki has a page on ContinuationPassingStyle, and some related pages linked from there, too.
- David Madore's A page about
call/ccdescribes the concept, and his The Unlambda Programming Language page shows how he implemented this construct in an esoteric functional programming language.
Citing haskellized Scheme examples from Wikipedia
Quoting Wikipedia's Continuation#Examples, but Scheme examples are translated to Haskell, and some straightforward modifications are made.
In the Haskell programming language, the simplest of direct-style functions is the identity function:
id :: a -> a
id a = a
which in CPS becomes:
idCPS :: a -> (a -> r) -> r
idCPS a ret = ret a
where ret is the continuation argument (often also called k). A further comparison of direct and CPS style is below.
mysqrt :: Floating a => a -> a
mysqrt a = sqrt a
print (mysqrt 4) :: IO ()
mysqrtCPS :: a -> (a -> r) -> r
mysqrtCPS a k = k (sqrt a)
mysqrtCPS 4 print :: IO ()
mysqrt 4 + 2 :: Floating a => a
mysqrtCPS 4 (+ 2) :: Floating a => a
fac :: Integral a => a -> a
fac 0 = 1
fac n'@(n + 1) = n' * fac n
fac 4 + 2 :: Integral a => a
facCPS :: a -> (a -> r) -> r
facCPS 0 k = k 1
facCPS n'@(n + 1) k = facCPS n $ \ret -> k (n' * ret)
facCPS 4 (+ 2) :: Integral a => a
The translations shown above show that CPS is a global transformation; the direct-style factorial,
fac takes, as might be expected, a single argument. The CPS factorial,
facCPS takes two: the argument and a continuation. Any function calling a CPS-ed function must either provide a new continuation or pass its own; any calls from a CPS-ed function to a non-CPS function will use implicit continuations. Thus, to ensure the total absence of a function stack, the entire program must be in CPS.
As an exception,
mysqrt calls
sqrt without a continuation — here
sqrt is considered a primitive operator; that is, it is assumed that
sqrt will compute its result in finite time and without abusing the stack. Operations considered primitive for CPS tend to be arithmetic, constructors, accessors, or mutators; any O(1) operation will be considered primitive.
Continuation monad
- Jeff Newbern's All About Monads contains a section on it.
- Control.Monad.Cont is contained by Haskell Hierarchical Libraries.

Unless you're living under a rock, you know that Tyler Clementi committed suicide after his college roommate thought – I use that term loosely – it'd be a good idea to stream Tyler having sex with another man all over the Internet.
In response to that incident, Pam Spaulding, founder of the political blog PamsHouseBlend.com, posted the above linked opinion piece on www.cnn.com.
She brought up two important questions:
• Who creates the bully?
• Who is accountable?
These behaviors start young, and whether they're manifested in homophobia, as they seem to be in this case, or in teasing others because of their faith, clothing, race or weight, we need to ask: Where do the parents and other influential adults in these bullies' lives fit in?
So, childhood memories have been floating to the forefront of my brain these last few days as more and more stories of teen-agers/young adults committing suicide, because of bullying, have hit the airwaves.
One memory in particular, but some backstory first . . .
I grew up in a very large neighborhood. There were tons of kids in every age group from babies to college students. Huge neighborhood. Kids of a certain age hung out in groups.
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. Winter Wonderland.
I remember one winter, not sure how old I was, snow forts in all the back yards, and a major snowball fight going on. One child – a friend, a schoolmate – was being picked on. Yes, even at a young age, a pecking order is established . . . and not in a good way. The kid finally had enough and went running home, crying. Everyone else followed, still tossing snowballs. Hey, it's what kids do. I remember the kid's mother saying "Don't come running home for protection, never do that again, stand up for yourself."
Yes, we all need to stand up for ourselves. But . . . this is where bullying gets pushed to the side, where parents tell their kids to grow up, to get tough, and yet do nothing about the fact that a group of kids was tormenting – yes, with snowballs – a single kid, and, that a good portion of those kids were 2 – 3 years older than the kid being pelted with a multitude of snowballs.
Yeah, in case you're wondering, I was throwing snowballs too. It's what we did.
What we – meaning kids do – isn't so important in this situation. It is what the parents failed to do: recognize the bullying attitude.
You see, the snowballs from childhood turn into names: fatty, fatty, two-by-four, can't fit through the kitchen door.
The snowballs from childhood turn into hateful names: faggot, queer!
The snowballs from childhood, if not stopped can – as the media this week has shown – turn into people feeling they have no where to run, nobody to turn to.
The snowballs from childhood can lead to . . . suicide.
We are a society geared toward not caring.
We are a society that is responsible – every single one of us – for the death of Tyler Clementi and so many other kids.
We as a society can no longer sit back and think oh, hey, it's not my problem.
Yes, it is my problem.
It's cold, this learned anti-social attitude towards being different and it has a striking impact on university campuses.
This "learned anti-social attitude towards being different" must be stopped.
People like the Assistant Attorney General of Minnesota shouldn't – free speech or not – be able to have a blog that puts a swastika over a gay man's head . . . and think the behavior is okay.
People like religious leaders and politicians, while having every right to their opinions, shouldn't be allowed – with their words and actions – to condone bullying on any level.
The people in power, the people with money and media limelight continue to spew their hate forth – NOM anybody – and condone bullying.
Those people, as well as the parents who do nothing, as well as every single individual who looks the other way . . . shouldn't be allowed to condone bullying.
How many people must die before people realize bullying is wrong?

We got a brief respite from the heat today with temps only in the 70s (if that) and even got some very much needed rain! Yay! I took advantage of the cooler temps to do some baking for the party – banana bread and apple cinnamon bread. Both smelled sooooo good coming out of the oven, that it was a serious chore not to eat them right then and there. 😉
Tomorrow, it's back up to 89 degrees and then into the 90s again, so I'm going to try to get a bit more baking done in the morning to (hopefully) get it all out of the way.
In other news, I cut Ava's hair yesterday. It was getting so stringy at the bottom, I'd been thinking of taking her somewhere to have it cut but then I broke down and did it on a whim myself. I took about two inches off. It looks pretty cute and the ends are much healthier now.
And in yet other news, Jody felt the baby move two nights ago. 🙂 I was one day shy of 18 weeks. It seems kind of early for feeling such movement on the outside, but I can feel definite kicks with my hands. He/she is a little mover!
Sunday is Father's day and we really haven't planned anything special yet. Perhaps a picnic down by the creek or something. I have a gift for Jody (from Ava) but will have to wait until he gets it to tell you about it.
We do have plans to see some friends (baby Trajan's family) on Sunday and drop off a meal I'll be making for them tomorrow as part of our "meals for new families" program that our Attachment Parenting group does. Also will be dropping off some banana muffins to another friend for part of the same deal.
Wonder how Father's Day came about?
"Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!
Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all be honored on Father's Day."
Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there. Enjoy your day! 🙂
And Happy Father's Day to my dad. I know he doesn't read my blog and we don't have the closest relationship, but he's been making a lot of positive changes in his life lately and I'm very proud of him for his perseverance.
(The picture above – of Jody and Ava – was taken in February 2006.)

Tiny plastic pumps, which administer drugs evenly, ensure the correct dose of many medicines. MeadWestvaco Calmar GmbH, a leading manufacturer of such pumps, is about to make a key advance in quality inspection. The initial inspection of the parts will soon take only a few days instead of several weeks – thanks to the METROTOM 800 computer tomograph.
The small plastic pumps manufactured by MeadWestvaco in Hemer, Germany, are comprised of up to 12 different parts. The small size of the pumps makes their functionality extremely complex. A key criterion is the output: how much liquid is ejected with each puff? Manufacturers can only achieve the right dose when the parts are perfectly matched: the tolerances are generally a few hundredths of a millimeter. The requirements in the medical industry are particularly strict.
Until now, MeadWestvaco used traditional optical and contact measuring machines for quality inspection. However, this process was very time consuming and susceptible to errors, particularly because some of the features were hidden. Employees had to destroy the part to reach them. As a result, mistakes were easily made because the material was deformed during this process.
To improve and accelerate quality assurance, MeadWestvaco Calmar invested in a METROTOM 800 from Carl Zeiss. The computer tomograph x-rays the tiny plastic parts from all sides to create a 3D image that displays all internal and external dimensions and is generated in a short time. A color display of the 3D model on the monitor allows technicians to immediately identify which dimensions exceed tolerance.
Employees are still becoming familiar with the new inspection equipment, but they are already very satisfied with the initial test results. "In addition to being faster, the quality of the measuring results will improve considerably because the parts no longer have to be destroyed," explains Lahmer. He is certain that his department will soon use metrotomography for all initial inspection activities: "Instead of waiting two weeks for the test report of a part, we will deliver in two days."
MeadWestvaco Calmar GmbH in Hemer, Germany, is one of the leading manufacturers of spray and dispensing systems for household chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. MeadWestvaco Calmar's list of clients reads like a who's who of multinational companies. The largest growth market for the tiny plastic pumps is medical applications. MeadWestvaco Calmar GmbH is a subsidiary of American packaging manufacturer MeadWestvaco.

I apologize for the lack of posts recently. I have been a little busy and rather distracted with my newborn son, Noble. He was not due until the end of August, but decided to make an appearance a few weeks ago. Due to an unplanned last minute c-section, I have not been able to spend much time in the kitchen, but am finally ready to be baking again. I decided my first attempt baking post baby would be these Chocolate Banana Muffins. You may think this is an odd choice if you have followed Baked Perfection for any amount of time, as you know that I do not like bananas one bit. Well, apparently giving birth can also change your food preferences. I did not have a single craving during pregnancy and yet here I am a couple weeks post delivery, eating a banana almost everyday.
As for Noble, he is absolutely perfect and Zack and I are completely in love with him. In fact, it seems just about everybody we know loves our son as much as we do. We are lucky to have such wonderful family and friends to be part of our and Noble's life.
Chocolate Banana Muffins
recipe slightly adapted from hotpolkadot.com
makes one dozen muffins
3 large bananas
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup peanut butter chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with baking cups and set aside.
In a large bowl mash the bananas with a fork then mix in the sugar, vanilla, egg, and oil. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture. The batter should be just moistened, do not over mix. Gently stir in the chocolate and peanut butter chips.
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

The Latest: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wins GOP nomination
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on primaries in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin (all times local):
9:25 p.m.
Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker has dispensed with a nominal GOP challenger as he awaits the winner of a crowded Democratic primary.
Walker is seeking a third term in office after a failed 2016 presidential run. Eight Democrats were seeking to challenge him in November.
Walker handily defeated his token opposition, Robert Meyer, who was not actively campaigning. Walker has amassed nearly $5 million and has already run more than a dozen television ads as he positions himself for the fall election.
Democrats are optimistic that this year presents their best chance ever to take down Walker. They've scored unexpected election victories in other races this year and polls generally show Republicans to be vulnerable.
In 2012, Walker became the first governor to ever defeat a recall election.
9:20 p.m.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) of Minnesota has easily won a Democratic primary as she seeks her third term.
In a year marked by high-profile lawmakers losing primary challenges, Klobuchar had no serious opposition Tuesday.
Klobuchar is one of Minnesota's most popular politicians, winning her
In 2012, Walker became the first governor to ever defeat a recall election.
9:20 p.m.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) of Minnesota has easily won a Democratic primary as she seeks her third term.
In a year marked by high-profile lawmakers losing primary challenges, Klobuchar had no serious opposition Tuesday.
Klobuchar is one of Minnesota's most popular politicians, winning her first two terms by at least 20 percentage points. She has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2020.
9:15 p.m.
A former utility executive from Vermont has become the first transgender candidate to win a major political party's nomination for governor.
Christine Hallquist defeated three other Democrats en route to victory in Tuesday's primary.
The former CEO of the Vermont Electric Cooperative says she's running because she feels she has the best plan to help Vermont residents get higher-paying jo

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) of Minnesota has easily won a Democratic primary as she seeks her third term.
In a year marked by high-profile lawmakers losing primary challenges, Klobuchar had no serious opposition Tuesday.
Klobuchar is one of Minnesota's most popular politicians, winning her first two terms by at least 20 percentage points. She has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2020.
9:15 p.m.
A former utility executive from Vermont has become the first transgender candidate to win a major political party's nomination for governor.
Christine Hallquist defeated three other Democrats en route to victory in Tuesday's primary.
The former CEO of the Vermont Electric Cooperative says she's running because she feels she has the best plan to help Vermont residents get higher-paying jobs, provide health care for their families and better educate their children.
The 62-year-old Hallquist is part of a wave of LGBTQ candidates seeking higher office across the U.S.
Hallquist is being supported by The Victory Fund, a political action committee that backs LGBTQ candidates across the country. The committed labeled her a "game changer."
9:10 p.m.
Vermont's Republican Gov. Phil Scott has won his party's nomination to run for a second term as the state's top executive.
Scott angered many people in the GOP base for supporting a series of gun restrictions but on Tuesday defeated Springfield businessman Keith Stern, a perennial candidate who described himself as a conservative Republican and campaigned on financial issues.
Scott based his first term as governor on the premise of making the state more affordable by helping to balance the budget without raising taxes or fees. He supported gun restrictions after what law enforcement authorities said was a narrowly averted school shooting.
Scott lost some voters with his gun stance but was supported by others who favored the restrictions.
9:05 p.m.
Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin is advancing to the November general election after facing no opposition from her own party.
She faces a tough re-election bid against one of two loyalists to President Donald Trump who are seeking to run against her. Baldwin is the only Democrat in a statewide office of importance in Wisconsin, and outside groups have already spent millions on television ads attacking her.
Baldwin's campaign has played up her work on moderate and core Wisconsin issues, including her buy-America plan that Trump supports and her work with Republican Sen. John McCain on lowering drug costs.
The Republicans battling to run against her are political outsider Kevin Nicholson and state Sen. Leah Vukmir. Polls show their race to be very close.
9 p.m.
Polls have closed for primary elections in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Polling places across the two states shut their doors at 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. Local election officials are now counting the votes. Results will trickle in over the coming hours.
Primaries in both states included races for governor and Senate, and both Senate seats were on Minnesota's ballot because of a special election to finish Al Franken's term.
Key House races included the Wisconsin primary for the seat that currently belongs to House Speaker Paul Ryan and a Minnesota seat being vacated by Democrat Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to serve in Congress. Ellison is running for state attorney general amid domestic abuse allegations from an ex-girlfriend. He denies them.
8:40 p.m.
Small-business owner Matthew Corey has won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Connecticut and will face an uphill battle against Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy.
In Tuesday's primary the Manchester Republican defeated Dominic Rapini, a national accounts manager for Apple computers.
Corey is a U.S. Navy veteran and owner of a Hartford pub and a window-washing business. He earlier unsuccessfully challenged Democratic U.S. Rep. John Larson.
Corey has called for more investment in small businesses in low-income communities. He's also supportive of apprenticeship programs, corporate tax reform and a tax credit for home school parents.
As of July 25, records show Corey had raised about $31,000 in campaign funds compared with nearly $13.5 million for Murphy.
There was no primary on the Democratic side.
8:30 p.m.
Businessman Ned Lamont has won the Democratic nomination for Connecticut governor, defeating Bridgeport mayor and ex-convict Joe Ganim.
Lamont's victory comes 12 years after he defeated U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman in a Democratic showdown, only to lose the general election when Lieberman ran as an independent. That race was seen as part of a national referendum on the Iraq War.
Lamont has said he'll "save Connecticut" from President Donald Trump's policies, whether it's the weakening of environmental standards or abortion access.
Lamont says he'll bring a businessman's approach to solving the state's fiscal woes. He supports unions and a higher minimum wage.
Ganim was elected Bridgeport mayor in 2015 despite serving seven years in prison for public corruption.
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy decided against running for a third term.
8:05 p.m.
Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders has won Vermont's Democratic Senate primary but is expected to turn down the nomination and support the state's Democratic candidates, as is his practice.
In Tuesday's balloting, Sanders defeated little-known candidate Folasade Adeluola (foh-LAH'-shah-day ah-DAY'-loo-hoh-lah), who says she believes Vermont needs a full-time senator.
Sanders is thought to be considering a presidential run in 2020. He already is on Vermont's November ballot as an independent.
Under Vermont law he cannot appear on the November ballot as both a Democrat and an independent.
In his U.S. Senate races, in 2012 and 2006 he declined the nomination but accepted the formal endorsement of the state's Democratic Party.
Four little-known candidates were seeking the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.
8 p.m.
Sen. Chris Murphy is advancing to the November election after sailing through the primaries without facing a challenger from his Democratic Party.
The first-term senator from Connecticut will face the winner of a two-man Republican primary featuring small-business owner Matthew Corey and Apple computer executive Dominic Rapini.
Polls in the state closed at 8 p.m. Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin are also holding primaries Tuesday.
Murphy's campaign has raised about $13.5 million, an amount that far exceeds the fundraising of each of his GOP rivals.
Murphy was first elected in 2012 and became a prominent advocate for gun control following the shooting massacre that year at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown that killed 20 first-graders and six educators. He has gained a higher profile lately through his outspoken criticism of the policies of President Donald Trump.
7:30 p.m.
Early figures show voter turnout in Connecticut's primaries is low despite the large number of candidates vying to become their party's nominee in November.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill says turnout was around 15 to 16 percent with 153 of Connecticut's 169 towns reporting as of about 3 p.m. Tuesday. That figure doesn't include the major cities.
Merrill says she ultimately expects about 20 to 25 percent of the state's roughly 1.2 million registered Democrats and Republicans will vote, similar to past primaries. Polls close at 8 p.m.
Unaffiliated voters are not able to vote in Connecticut's primaries.
The Republican primary for governor is expected to be particularly close, given that five candidates are vying for the nomination. Merrill predicts the winner could take as few as 20,000 votes.
7 p.m.
The polls have closed in Vermont, where voters were picking nominees for governor, U.S. Senate and U.S. House.
Vermont and three other states, Connecticut, Minnesota and Wisconsin, are holding primaries Tuesday.
In Vermont, Republican Gov. Phil Scott is facing a challenge from Springfield businessman Keith Stern.
Four Democrats are seeking the party's nomination to run for governor. They include a former utility executive who, if elected, would become the nation's first transgender governor, and a 14-year-old boy who is taking advantage of a quirk in state law that does not require gubernatorial candidates to be registered voters.

Wisconsin is among four states holding primaries Tuesday. Connecticut, Minnesota and Vermont are the others.
In Milwaukee, the Journal Sentinel reports that election officials are projecting turnout to be 25 to 30 percent of the city's registered voters, which is about 75,000 people. The turnout is about 10,000 more than the 2014 gubernatorial primary.
Democratic voters are choosing among eight candidates to challenge Gov. Scott Walker in November. Republican voters are deciding between Leah Vukmir and Kevin Nicholson to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Democrats are fighting to beat back Republican gains across the Midwest as the 2018 primary season roars through Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Tuesday's primary contests for governor, the Senate and the House will test the strength of President Donald Trump's fiery coalition against the energy of the Democratic resistance among working-class voters.
Meanwhile, accusations of domestic violence involving the Democratic National Committee's deputy chairman, congressman and attorney general candidate Keith Ellison, could undermine the "blue wave" in Minnesota.
In all, four states including Vermont and Connecticut will host elections on Tuesday as the 2018 primary season nears its final chapter.
Democrats appear particularly motivated in Wisconsin, where eight candidates want the chance to take on Republican Gov. Scott Walker. In Minnesota, former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty wants his job back.

Our FREE extended guarantees and what they're worth
Your guide to Refined Lighting inclusive guarantee
What kind of inclusive guarantees does Refined Lighting offer on Lighting?
Most manufacturers typically offer a one-year guarantee, but we extend that to 2 years (if registered) at no extra cost to offer you extra value.
Why does Refined Lighting do this?
We recognise that certain items are what you might call considered purchases, which people may feel a bit nervous about because of the financial outlay and the reliability factor involved. We want to offer you some extra reassurance that you won't incur expensive repair bills in the unlikely event of something going wrong.
What's the small print?
We're covering the product to remain in working order for the life of that guarantee in other words against manufacturing defect causing breakdown. If the product's used in the prescribed way and it breaks down, our duty is to get the appliance back to working order and if we can't do that, we'll replace it with the same model, or discuss an alternative with you if that's no longer available.
So repair's the first course of action?
Yes, because it's essentially a return to base repair guarantee but of course sometimes it's more expedient or economic to actually replace the light..
What happens if you do replace? Does the guarantee start again?
Afraid not in the case of Lighting! If you buy your product from us, then we're guaranteeing you'll have a working item for x number of years, so you'll get the remainder of the guarantee if we replace it during that time.
What doesn't the free guarantee cover?
The main things not covered are damage caused by accidents or misuse. I'm afraid if you spill a glass of water over your light, you'd need to be looking to your contents insurance to cover that. As long as you've used your appliance for the purpose it's intended for, then we'll repair or replace.
So what do I need to do to claim under my guarantee?
Procedures vary depending on the kind of product, because there'll be different arrangements for repair. Just keep the paperwork we give you including the receipt somewhere safe, and if you have a problem with your product, follow the instructions, or email
(firstname.lastname@example.com or call Refined Lighting on 01908 671850. The team is available 9.30am -5pm weekdays, 9.30am 5pm Saturdays, 11am – 4pm Sundays. To help us handle your query promptly, please have your receipt and model number ready.

The Best Acne Makeup for Aging Skin
Even if your skin is mature, you are not necessarily safe from acne. In fact, some women may get more acne as they get older due to hormonal changes. At the same time, you have to deal with the common effects of time. Lines and wrinkles are particularly tough to treat at the same time as acne. One treatment tends to add moisture while the other dries out the skin. It seems like a Catch 22. There are some tricks, however, that will help you find the best acne makeup, aging skin or not.
The first trick is to avoid all makeup that has acne medicine in it. Don't use anything with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur. They will dry your skin out even more. Keep your acne treatments separate from any treatment for aging.
As with any makeup for acne prone skin, avoid anything with oil in it. There are plenty of moisturizing products that don't have oil. Better yet, stick with a mineral makeup like Korres Mineral Powder or a neutral long-lasting foundation like … You can use moisturizer separately for any dryness.
Apply everything in the correct order. Here's where things get tricky. Acne treatment or wrinkle treatment – which do you apply first? I always go with how my skin is doing on a certain day. If it is breaking out a lot I put on some medicine first, let it dry completely, and then pat on some moisturizer. Next comes my Tarte Clean Slate primer. Finally, I apply some foundation.
Use powders sparingly. Powder can make every line on your face stand out. This is true of many of the mineral makeup powder as well, so avoid ones that are labeled as matte or oil absorbent.
My favorite brands of makeup for aging skin that has acne are:
Benefit's Hello Flawless Custom Cover Up – Benefit is designed as a brand targeted for younger people, but I love the Hello Flawless powder foundation. So long as you have put on moisturize and primer, the sponge lets you apply the foundation smoothly and gives excellent coverage without making every line stand out.
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra – This is my favorite liquid foundation that is both long lasting and give great coverage. It goes on silky smooth and I don't even have to use concealer with it. This is my go-to foundation when I am going to a party or will be out all day and want my skin to look perfect.
Korres Wild Rose Mineral Foundation – This mineral powder foundation goes on much more smoothly than most others, so it doesn't sit in your wrinkles. You can either use the little pad that comes with it or a mineral makeup brush.

The Kazon-Relora were one of the 18 Kazon sects and were led by First Maje Jal Haron. Possessing many ships and soldiers, the Relora are considered to be one of the strongest sects. They were the blood enemies of the Kazon-Nistrim and the Kazon-Ogla.
In 2372, Seska hoped that the Nistrim might be able to forge an alliance with the Relora to capture the USS Voyager. However, Haron was unimpressed with the Nistrim's acquisition of a transporter control module from Voyager and rejected the proposal, stating that the Relora had no need for an alliance with the far weaker Nistrim. Maje Culluh used his new transporter to beam Haron and his aide into space. (VOY: "Initiations", "Maneuvers")
In "Initiations" and "Maneuvers", the Relora were one of the stronger Kazon sects, having virtually an entire planet devoted to military exercises and being stronger than the Nistrim, Hobii, Oglamar or Mostral. However, in "Alliances" the Relora were not present when the leaders of several sects were brought together for a treaty proposal, which could be for a variety of reasons. Most probably, given their strength, the Relora simply chose not to attend.

text: For a variety of reasons I've been pretty absent from the forum for much of this year. One of the things that has suffered has been the front page featured MOCs - there have been exactly 4 for all of this year and I'm sorry for that. One consequence is that I have a backlog of MOCs that I'd meant to feature, and had even discussed with the builders. These are just too good to let slide, so, better late than never, I'd like to point you to Schneider Cheung's (aka Schfio's) amazing Chinese dragon that he built at the start of the year to celebrate, appropriately, the Chinese Year of the Dragon:

New York, July 1, 2008--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the four-year prison sentence handed down to Nanjing journalist Sun Lin, who was charged with possessing illegal weapons and assembling a disorderly crowd. Sun's sentence was delivered on Thursday in a hearing closed to his lawyers and family, according to The Associated Press.
In his trial, Sun and his lawyers argued that the charges brought against him were spurious and intended to restrict his ability to report on sensitive topics. Witness testimony about Sun's possession of weapons was contradictory, according to news reports. The disorderly crowd charge was based on an incident in 2004, three years prior to his arrest. Police accused Sun of disturbing the peace while aiding people evicted from their homes, but Sun claimed he broke no laws.
Sun reported for the U.S.-based Web site Boxun News, where he published articles on forced evictions, political corruption, and other issues the Chinese government deems sensitive. Sun had faced--and documented--repeated harassment by authorities as a result of his audio, video, and print reports for the banned Chinese-language news site. He was detained on May 30, 2007.
Sun's wife, He Fang, was also sentenced on Thursday to 15 months in prison on similar charges. She was released and allowed to return home soon after the hearing, according to Boxun Editor Watson Meng. It was not immediately clear why He was released. Sun and He have a 12-year-old daughter.
The Nanjing court violated procedure by not allowing family members to be present at the hearing and by failing to inform Sun of his impending sentence three days prior to the proceeding, Sun's lawyer, Mo Shaoping, said in interviews with the AP and Radio Free Asia. Mo said that Sun intends to appeal the verdict.
"We are disturbed by Sun Lin's sentence and the fact that his family and lawyers were not present at the hearing," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "Coming just over a month before the Olympics begin, this verdict illustrates the government's continued unwillingness to allow the press freedoms it promised when it was awarded the Games in 2001. We urge authorities to overturn this conviction on appeal."
In June, CPJ documented China's repression of the press in the special report, Falling Short.

A colostomy bag (or pouch) is worn on the outside of the body
to collect waste that normally passes through the digestive system. The bag is
needed after a portion of the colon has been surgically removed.
A person may need a colostomy bag temporarily until the colon has healed
from the surgery. Or they may need the bag permanently if the entire lower part of the colon was
removed. Solid waste passes from the remaining part of the colon through an
opening (stoma) in the body. The bag doesn't show under clothing. Many people are able to take care of their colostomy bags
on their own.

That is not the case. The first value is correct. The value will be the duration from the index position until the end of that bitcell. If you add the first bitcell value to the last bitcell value (which ends somewhere during the index position), you get the correct length for the first bitcell.

Sorry for the slow reply. And wow, I somehow managed to completely miss that it already has settings! Cool, I just disabled everything I didn't need and now it's exactly what I want! Thanks again!
As for Avast... I used to for many years until I switched to Linux, I never had an issue with it. Probably you should try to contact them and ask about it. I wonder if it has only one rating, if yes then someone is being an ass, and Avast should know better than issue warnings based on a single report.

Installing Solar in Rochester Massachusetts
Posted on November 17, 2014
Rochester's Planning Board approved a request from the city of New Bedford to build a solar farm on land it owns in Rochester. The solar farm, which would be used to power New Bedford's water-treatment facility at Little Quittacas Pond, would consist of approximately 14,000 photovoltaic panels and will be located off North Avenue. The appeal window ends Jan. 30, officials said, and if no appeals are made, the Planning Board will sign off on the plans. ConEdison Solutions would build and maintain the farm, officials said, which includes an earthen berm to obscure the equipment from the street. The farm will be built about 15 feet off the road.end of story marker
