Onboard Medicine Chest
A few years ago my wife and I went scuba diving in Pemba (amazing spot, BTW!), a little island off the coast of Tanzania. We were on a small liveaboard anchored in a shallow cove on the west coast of the island, and diving on the reefs offshore off a rubber duck. To cool off during the hottest hours of the day, we would just jump over the side, and climb back onboard up the ladder. On the first day, the poor girl developed an allergic reaction to... something! It started on the inner side of her forearms; no blisters, but blotched and discoloured skin, quite ugly looking really. Within 12 hours, it had extended to her torso and neck, and she was was a bit feverish. I had some antihistamines on my travel bag, over the counter stuff for hay-fever, which did not help. She was very uncomfortable, and the prospect was to abort the trip and go back to Dar-es-Salaam (via Zanzibar) to seek treatment there.
We searched for the culprit everywhere on the boat; bedding, food, any potentially toxic materials or products on board she may have come into contact with. There was no distinctly localised lesion on her skin, so I deduced it could not be a sting from a marine organism, and being anchored in the middle of the bay, there was little chance of a biting insect getting to us. I even checked carefully the inside of our wetsuits, just in case we had picked something up from the ocean in the previous dive. Nothing!
As luck would have it, that day came onboard a couple from the UK. A medical doctor and his wife that were trekking across Africa on a sabbatical. The guy (shame, can't remember his name!) looked a my wife, produced two innocuous looking pills from a bag, and presto....the following morning she was feeling well enough to dive again!!
This episode impressed upon me the importance of having a well equipped medicine chest on board when cruising.
The long story above comes into context because I am now planning a long cruise, and need the help of experienced long distance cruisers (particularly those with a medical degree/training) to put it together, beyond the regular content of any first aid kit, or pre-existing conditions of the crew.
Constraints as follows:
Geographic area: tropical and sub tropical (i.e. unlikely I will ever have to treat for frostbite).
Specific conditions and/or medicine groups:
# Topical antiseptics (powder or cream form) for skin lesions, abrasions, burns, sweat itch, etc.
# Stings and bites; anything from blue bottles to horse flies, not shark attacks!
# Antihistamine and general anti-allergenic compounds (as per the story above).
# Dehydration, sunstroke, sunburn.
# Food poisoning, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, constipation.
# Digestive track cramps, period pains, etc.
# Products that will keep me awake – something stronger than caffeine... Not asking for advise on mind-altering substances. Rationales is having to stay awake and alert for 24 hrs to cope with unexpected bad weather.
# Topical and/or internal anti-inflammatory compounds – sprained ankles, damaged knees, twisted thumbs, tendinitis, that sort of thing, short of a downright bone fracture
# Antibiotics/antibacterials. This is a very wide topic, I know, so I'll try to narrow it down with a few conditions: (1) eye, ear, sinus infections, (2) fungal infections – wet skin, finger nails, etc, (3) infected wounds from coral, rock, shell cuts, sea urchin spines, fish hooks, etc, (4) urinary track infections, (5) tooth infections/abscesses
# Pain killers – not necessarily opiates, but stronger than paracetamol.
Ok, above but a few. Any other out of your experience that I have not thought about, please instruct me!
Repeat, the purpose of this exercise is not to equip a bush clinic, but to put together an emergency get-me-out-of-trouble, mostly symptomatic, medicine kit that will allow me to get to where I can seek qualified medical care if required.
Many thanks in advance for your input and advise on this topic!!!
And now, the conclusion of the story..... Eventually, I found out who the culprit was. In time, I too developed a rush, exactly in the same place my wife did at the beginning, the inside for my forearms and wrists!! It was only a slight skin rush on me, but too much to be a coincidence. I was evidently reacting to something. I tracked it down to climbing up the boat ladder after one of my cool-off dips. Sure enough, encrusted on the side bars of the ladder was a covering of orange coloured sponge. In grabbing the side bars and pulling myself upwards on the ladder, the inside of my forearms was rubbing against the sponge, right in the place were the rush developed!!

12 Mukhi Rudraksha is the symbol of Lord MahaVishnu. The glory of all 12 Adityas is contained in this bead so the wearer is entitled to the special grace of Lord Surya (Sun). Continue reading about 12 Mukhi Rudraksha.
हिंदी में पढने के लिए क्लिक करें बारह मुखी रुद्राक्ष |
The term Rudraksha (Rudra i.e. Shiva + aksha i.e. eye) stands for the eyes of Lord Shiva implying thereby that it was pleasant to the eyes of Lord Shiva, and hence named in His Honour.
How to wear 12 Mukhi Rudraksha ?
12 Mukhi Rudraksha must be worn after Siddhi (method of purification & charging with Mantra). Before sending the bead to you, we always perform Siddhi free of cost. It should be worn on Monday. Wash it with milk.
The mantra to wear this bead is "OM KROM SHROM ROM NAMAH". Enchant 3 rosaries of the before mentioned mantra or 5 rosaries of "OM NAMAH SHIVAYA" or 1 rosary of Mritanjay mantra.
Why Rudrakshas are oiled?
Rudrakshas are oiled to strengthen them and to save them from insects. Oiling doesn't change a low quality bead into fine quality. Oiling is done only to improve the skin and strength of the bead. ALWAYS keep the bead oiled. After regular cleaning, oil it and treat it with incense. This is of UTMOST importance, especially when not using the bead for sometime, or storing it for a while.
How to check quality of Rudrakshas?
Many get confused with the shape and size. One should not seriously worry about it. Just see that the Mukhs are well defined and corns & contours are natural.

Yesterday's Times science section had a really interesting article by biologist Marlene Zuk about caveman nostalgia:
Maybe our woes arise because our Stone Age genes are thrust into Space Age life. That beer gut? It comes from eating too many processed carbohydrates; our bodies evolved to eat only unrefined foods, mainly meat, and we get out of kilter veering from our ancestral diet.
Food allergies and digestive woes? We, like other mammals, aren't meant to consume dairy products after weaning. When politicians fall from grace after committing adultery, some commentator will always point out that such behavior has evolutionary roots: weren't the best procreators alpha males with roving eyes?
In short, we have what the anthropologist Leslie Aiello called "paleofantasies." She was referring to stories about human evolution based on limited fossil evidence, but the term applies just as well to nostalgia for the very old days as a touchstone for the way life is supposed to be and why it sometimes feels so out of balance.
Zuk empathizes with these fantasies — it's not irrational, after all, to feel wistful about an imaginary pastoral utopia free of aspartame or graffiti or mortgage payments, where we all ate whole local foods and got regular healthy exertion traipsing around the unspoiled wilderness. (One tends to elide the fact that it was also free of plumbing, shoes, and Barack Obama, and we all got regular healthy exertion running for our lives from giant fucking ground sloths.) But, she says, it is irrational to imagine that modern humans are still maximally adapted to that life. Evolution's a slow process, but not so stubbornly slow that we haven't adjusted at all in the last 55,000 years.
We just recently had a great time kicking apart a friendly soul who came by to tell us that we must all be unhealthy because there were no fat cavemen. And it's not the first time we've taken down pseudo-Darwinian bullshit on the blog (evo psych being a particular bane, not because we see it more but because we hate it the mostest). But this article really helped crystallize for me what bugs me so much about the paleolithic model of healthy behavior: It's actually opposed to human development. It relies on the idea that the species reached a state of perfect adaptation some millenia ago, and that any change from that state is a fall from grace. First of all, this is way too teleological to be scientific — the idea that there is no culmination of development, just a state of constant adaptation, is kind of fundamental to the theory of evolution. Second, and relatedly, this miscalculation assumes that we've fucked up somehow by availing ourselves of things like agriculture and leisure time. But when your environment changes and your species changes with it? That's actually what evolution is.
This, of course, leaves open the possibility that we might be evolving to be a bit fat. Being in the "overweight" category is clearly adaptive, and our current environment privileges many things over the ability to outrun a ground sloth. Some fat people have parsimonious metabolisms or gut flora that can suck every bit of energy out of everything we eat — these are handy qualifications in lean times, not strictly necessary for many of us reading this but an excellent raft to buoy fat genes through history. It's not impossible that the future of the human race looks less like Camilla Belle and more like… um, the past of the human race. (Don't tell me a gorilla ain't fat.)
Unsurprisingly, some people find this terrifying — which I think is partly to blame for this nostalgia for an illusory time when life was an exercise program and you couldn't help but be thin (at least if you didn't want to be sloth kibble). But evolution doesn't really give a shit whether you think it's pretty. And it certainly doesn't give a shit if you think it was perfect 50,000 years ago and should have quit while it was ahead — evolution, by definition, does not work that way. It's foolish to try to anticipate it or evaluate it except in retrospect (I certainly have no idea whether fatness will be the new thumbs, my point is just that it's not impossible). And it's dumb as balls to ask it to put the brakes on. Bemoaning modern foodstuffs, eating the "caveman diet" (mostly meat and berries, because grain sprang into existence with agriculture apparently), and waving your flint-knapped knives at bloggers because "there were no fat cavemen" is not only pointless, it's retrogressive. Might as well fling poo at Rembrandt because he didn't paint cows on a wall.
Folks, it's all right to be modern. Some of us would be less fat without modern inventions like refined sugar, free-trade economies, automobiles, and diets. Some wouldn't. But either way, we coexist with these inventions — that's the environment we have and the one we adapt to. It's fruitless to imagine yourself as a paleolithic creature in a hostile modern world — we're not fucking Vogons, our species didn't stop adapting as soon as it came into being. Imagine if some australopithecine had gotten all misty about the days when everyone lived in the trees and nobody tried to walk on two legs, which is clearly terrible for your knees and not what we apes are adapted for. Foolish monkey! An unpredictable future in response to a changing present is basically the point of evolution. We should embrace it — not pretend that it halted at some point in the hazy past.

Thursday morning, watching KTLA's Morning News, featured the popular actor Aaron Eckart (recently in Olympus Has Fallen and The Race) talking about the forthcoming gala fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes research. For a mere $500 a plate, those passionate about finding a cure for the Type 1 diabetes, could participate in the glamorous event being held at the Hyatt Regency in Century City.
Aaron said that, even as he walked the halls of the newsroom, several people approached him with the news that they, too, suffered from the disease.
Known to some as Juvenile Diabetes, because it was thought to affect mainly children, it really affects many adults, as well. In fact over 25 million people - adults and kids - suffer from the disease which prevents the pancreas from producing insulin, a hormone needed to break down sugars, starches and other foods into energy for daily life. Striking suddenly, it affects a whole lifetime. Those affected come from all walks of life.
Aaron graciously gave us some health tips on how he exercises routinely and watches what he eats. Diabetes, while inherited, does not have to strike if you are careful with your lifestyle. The obesity, especially in kids, does not help the situation and Karen Sharpe Kramer was glad that Michelle Obama "is cracking down on our poor school lunches and the overweight condition of our society."
Besides Aaron, also highlighting the event was Mary McCormack (In Plain Sight), who, after a break from television, just recently did an NBC pilot for a new sitcom. Mary talked of her producer husband who was diagnosed with Type 1 only shortly after their engagement. "It's a life changing event, but it can be lived with." For that reason, Mary often speaks to groups about the disease and is anxious to help find a cure.
Both an extensive silent auction and a live auction, also helped to raise funds for the research.
Others attending this 10th annual event, several who also were affected by the condition, were Mary Mouser (Body of Proof), Dan Bucatinsky (Scandal), Kate Mansi, and Austin Baisis (Beauty and the Beast).Kat Kramer's father, Stanley Kramer, died of the disease,. Also there were Ellyn Garofalo (Partner, Liner Law), Kevin and Erin Wehrenberg (SVP, Comedy Development, Warner Brothers Television), Marci Wiseman (SVP, Business Affairs, AMC) , Gloria Loring, Caren Brooks (The Brooks Family Foundation), Angie and "Big" Jon Platt (Warner/Chappell Music Executive) Eric LaBarr, Jillian Levy, Samantha Courtney, Bill and Marcy Miller, David King, Brent Kessel, Antoine Souma, Adam Barr, Gary Weiss (along with Tari, Trevor and Bronte Weiss), Leslie Stevens, Andrea King, Lisa Hansen, Laurie DeSchryver, Laura Mecoy, Keven Kaiserman, Kathy Hilton, Ron Munman, Michael Schoenfeld, Mimi Park, Michael Raich, Morgan Rector, Nancy Marks, Robert Gandara, Maura Hudson, Steve Roseman, Steve Johnson, Steve Marks, Steven Spartin, Thomas Brobson, Makenzie Munan, Sydney Munan, Tony Marks, Andy Mooney, Darren Star, Frank Buckley, Marcy Carsey, Ben Leeds, Garen Momdjian, Jacob "Yasha" Gofman, James George, Joel Levy, John Ashkar, Julie King, Lars Reierson, Mirko Jokanovic, Moshe Niv, and Scott Morris.
Hopefully, the new artificial pancreas being worked on will soon be perfected and give relief to many diabetic sufferers.
There are centers all around the country studying this critical disease. For more information about the Los Angeles events, check out www.jdrfla.org.


text: Except for a couple post-college years in Washington, D.C., I've lived in New England my whole life. It's not for everyone, I know, but I like it here, and in my opinion, one of the best things about this part of the world is The Snow Day. There's nothing like getting 'snowed in.' As a kid it meant no school, as a grown-up it means work-from-home, and it always means get in the car and drive to the ski slopes. Thursday was the first not-fun snow day in a lot of years, really maybe ever. I'd hoped to have an update for you on the BarnesBuchanan conference which took place Thursday through today in Palm Beach, Florida. This is a great conference: a who's who of residential security companies, as well as the up-and-comers, all the relevant financial folks, and it all takes place at a swank seaside hotel in February. Instead, I got snowed in. Oh well, here are the official notes from Richard Ginsburg's (CEO of Protection One and featured speaker at BB) presentation.

Reduce turbine size and costs
SKF engineer Matthias Hofmann offers a solution: the SKF Nautilus main shaft bearing. This innovation enables very compact nacelle designs with main gearboxes or directly-driven generators mounted close to the rotor hub.
The result is a drastic reduction in size, weight, maintenance and turbine costs. This is a great example of what we call Knowledge Engineering. And yet another way of how we apply our know-how by utilizing our wide range of products and services to help increase efficiency, save energy and reduce environmental impact.

RSBS Explores Title IX
With the playoffs in full swing and history being rewritten every night, it's hard not to notice how much of that history is recorded by television cameras. The field is blanketed by unblinking lenses, allowing us to live and relive each play from every possible angle. The downside is that somehow we still end up with quite a few of the infamous "adjustment" shots. Usually, it's just a quick tap of the cup in one direction or the other but every once in a while the camera lingers as the guy in the on-deck circle really digs in and tries to find the optimal cup placement before strolling to the batter's box.
The human eye is drawn to movement and I for one don't feel guilty for staring at some dude's crotch while he's in full readjustment mode. It's evolution. But it got me thinking. How often are people checking out the goods when the guy is just hanging out? Sure, no one's ogling CC Sabathia but a guy like Ryan Braun has to have his fair share of admirers.
Luckily I didn't have to settle for idle conjecture because I quickly came across this ground-breaking study from Cosmo for Guys. The video is especially enlightening:
Enjoy the playoffs. And pray that you don't have to see CC adjusting himself. It would be pretty embarrassing to get caught on that crotch cam.

Scenario: Girlfriend's friends' private holiday party at a nice hotel
Dress code: Whatever you would like/be comfortable in...the few people I know are going to head in somewhat dressed up, likely a suit, no tie, etc.
Question: I have been wanting to try the suit sans tie plus sweater combo. I have a medium-navy suit and was thinking of a dark green sweater over a windowpane button up, can it be done, or will it all be too busy?
https://bananarepublic.gap.com/brows...843&pcid=44866 - white
https://bananarepublic.gap.com/brows...446&pcid=28660 - cilantro green
I think I'd want to see it all put together for a final opinion.
Anyone know a good place to buy a merino wool fair isle sweater? Lambs wool is a bit too hot for my location, even in winter, and cotton sweaters don't hold us as well in my experience. Thanks!
Anyone have experience with the fit of Jomers shirts? Considering picking up their new shaggy flannel shirt, but unsure how slim, slim fit is. For reference Im about Joes size.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I bought a slim fit Jomers shirt recently - the washed button down in burgundy/rose gingham. It's slim, but not button-puckering-ly so. I will say the sleeves are pretty long. When buttoned, they constantly creep down over the bottom of the palm of my hand. Other than that, though, it fits nicely in the chest and shoulders.
I recently purchased the BR Italian Motion-Stretch Blazer. I really like it, it looks great and I dig the flexibility of the fabric. My problem comes in with the sleeves - I didn't notice right away, but the suit has functioning sleeve buttons. I have fairly short arms, so I nearly always have to have my sleeves shortened. Normally I would just return the blazer and move on, but I really want to make this one work. I need the arms shortened about 2 inches for the length to be great, which is halfway in to the buttons. I ordered a 40R, so theoretically I could order a 40S which would have an inch shorter arms (according to BR's site) so tailoring would likely be a bit easier, but also would have an inch shorter body length (and the body length is pretty much dead on for me with the 40R). Should I return it for the 40S, bring it to a tailor and see what they can do, or just deal with the long sleeves?

Re: email notifications?
User control panel upper right corner of the screen, then board preferences, gives you some options like getting notifications of private messages sent to you in the forum fwd to your email. Other than that I don't think you get email updates. However if you want to keep track of what people respond to that you post here in the forum click view your posts also listed in the upper right corner of the screen. It sorts it by most recent response to anything/everything that you have posted or commented on in the forum.
Hope that helps,

Hello everyone,
As we near the end of the year Id like to take the time to talk about some changes weve made to the forums recently. Some of these changes are more noticeable, such as the visible upgrades and features, while others are behind the scenes and less noticeable. Additionally, I would like to address a few concerns regarding the current community which the forums has fostered.
Here is the breakdown of changes, beginning with overhauls we put in place recently.
-Backend upgrades and maintenance: Our forums were upgraded with the latest versions of the software. A few plugins and products which were not used commonly or were not up to our quality standards have been removed. New plugins were added as replacements, causing some remaining older outdated plugins to break, however most have been adjusted and fixed to be compatible with our forums again.
-Visual overhaul: Weasyl 2.0: During the maintenance downtime last month and new theme was applied in order to update the outdated visuals of the forums. We will continue to keep the previous theme as a legacy theme, however, it will not be maintained. Future forum updates may possibly break legacy themes, at which point users may find it preferable to switch to a newer theme.
-Twitter sidebar: A twitter sidebar has been added to help keep users up to date on important site events, including but not limited to downtime or server issues, community events, and coding updates. Twitter is one of our main communication hubs outside the Weasyl network and we felt it was important to make the information easily available for users, particularly minor updates that may not be presented in site announcements.
-Forum Rules: In response to user feedback regarding the forum rules, the rules have been rewritten. Weve changed the formatting in an effort to make the rules more clear, readable, and straightforward. We encourage all users who have not done so to read the new forum rules to better understand the mod position on acceptable Weasyl forum behaviour.
-Forum community: This leads to our final topic of discussion, the forums and concerns amongst its community. We would like to explain where we have come from and where we would like to be in the future.
Since we initially opened out forums to the public over two years ago, we have tried to be lenient on the users and foster a minimal presence of moderation. We wanted users to feel free to contribute to a wide variety of discussions and debates without feeling pressure from the moderators to watch what opinions they presented or otherwise felt they must walk on eggshells while participating in the community. However, as our forums have grown and more users have joined to participate we have been seeing a disturbing trend of discussions turning from friendly debate to devolving into personal attacks, insults, and mudslinging towards other users rather than addressing discussion topics or points.
Many of these problematic interactions take place in discussions which stem from controversial subjects, many from current news or trending topics from various outlets. While there has been suggestions to ban these controversial discussions, we do not want to restrict subject matter which users may discuss. We feel open discussion is important to the health and viability of the forums, however we will be monitoring the situation carefully and if things do not improve, we may begin to restrict certain subjects to prevent further degradation of the forum community.
In addition to the aggressive and insulting posts we have seen aimed between users, we have seen many users skirting the lines in terms of their behaviour, teetering on the edge of violating forum rules and receiving administrative action. This has been a long standing concern and we are going to be cracking down on users who purposefully and continually skirt the line to aggravate users and threads. We expect the community to follow the rules in place and treat each other with respect, regardless of whether or not users agree with them on various subjects or if they have a history on other 3rd party websites.
If a user feels they are the target of harassing behaviour they should immediately contact forum staff with an explanation of the behaviour. If a user is being insulting or otherwise violating the rules the forum staff must be contacted immediately. Most importantly if a users behaviour is problematic in any way- do NOT engage them, immediately cease all interaction and report the user instead!
Users who respond to violation behaviour will not be exempt from moderation. Once content has been reported users should refrain from engaging with violation behaviour until moderator action may be taken. Again, according to the old adage two wrongs do not make a right and violating behaviour will be moderated whether it is the original user or a user responding.
When reporting content, please explain your reasoning for reporting as clearly as possible to best inform the staff of the exact nature of the problem. Do not issue reports which are overly vague, consist of a single word, contain insults toward other users or staff, expletives (unless relevant to the report issue), or reports filed to target another user for non-violation reasons (differing opinions/views, past history, etc.) Continued misuse and abuse of the report function in these ways will result in an infraction and possible suspension from our forums.
We take each report seriously and have zero tolerance for misuse. If you have a question or are uncertain regarding forum rules or policies please PM a forum staff member. We are happy to to help our users, and look forward to more productive interactions amongst the community.

!" you're thinking. "Finally, a reality show about Southern preachers' wives!"
Right off you're thinking televangelists, out-of-control Tammy Faye Baker types or, bless their souls, the hundreds of Dolly Parton look-a-likes God was good enough to put on TV.
Failing that you'd settle for the more buttoned-down, reigning queen of preacher wives, Victoria Osteen.
Unfortunately, the first preacher-wife show, "The Sister
hood," premiering on TLC tonight, is nothing more — or less — than "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," but co-starring God.
No big, dyed-blond 'do's, no insane eyeliner, no white Rolls-Royces.
On this show we have four African-American preacher's wives, but like those "Real Housewives" who don't even have husbands, here two of the four preacher wives are married to pastors who don't have churches.
And like every tired "Wives" show that came before them, they follow the tried-and-true formula.
First, they all meet and then have a party to welcome the new woman to town so they can then fight and get catty and jealous.
Oy veah, as the one white preacher — a "Jewish believer in Jesus," the program notes say — in the group might say.
That would be Brian, husband of Tara, a weightlifter.
Brian, too, is a weightlifter, but a white Jewish Baptist pastor lifter who got tossed out of his last church faster than a copy of the Communist Manifesto on Wall Street.
The couple, who named one of their children after a clothing line, are kind of clueless. What else could account for him saying things like, "Shalom, y'all!"
Dominique, Tara's frenemy, is also married to a man without a church — apparently because they drove it into the ground financially.
That doesn't mean they don't live well, which may come from Tara's salon/boutique, which she calls, "Home of the $39 Weave."
Christina, a Dominican, is married to Pastor Anthony, who teaches his teen daughters how to put a condom on a banana.
It's not as horrible as it sounds and, for sure, while he's playing to the camera, he also tells his daughters: "This is tough for me, but when I was a teen, I got crabs, I got two or three STDs."
TMI, pastor, TMI!
Ivy and Pastor Mark are the most normal couple, and are well on their way to building a mega-church — and really, nothing says "money in the bank" like a reality show. I wish there was more, God help me, to love here.
But when you have Dominique and Tara arguing and threatening each over the Almighty, there's not much to renew my faith in God.

I have received a number of requests for details on how I use Outwit Hub to make data copy and pasting easier. I will explain here how I used this Firefox Add-on to simplify the extraction of marriage information from Find My Past. The image below is what can be expected once the data is exported to Excel. The data collected here is being used for the One Name Study of my TIMMINS surname. The data would normally have taken a few hours to copy and paste into my Excel spreadsheet, but by using Outwit Hub it took less than 15 minutes.
The extraction method is not perfect, you will need to delete some unnecessary columns and tidy things up a bit when you get it into Excel. I collected these 724 Worcestershire Timmins marriages in about 15 minutes.
The instructions below look daunting but they are fairly straight forward, definitely worth the effort when you see the result.
I would urge you to do the Outwit Hub tutorials, they really are good.
First you will need to download the scraper file Marriages from FMP.xml
How to use:
- Import the xml file into scrapers, make sure it is the only active scraper, Source type: Original.
- Go to scraped : ensure Clean Text and Catch Selection are the only options ticked.
- Make sure you are signed in to FMP as it has a tendency to keep signing you out.
- Call up your search in FMP, the first 50 matches to your query should appear. DO NOT execute scraper.
- Go to tables: in the filter area – select row if "column 8" "equals to" (type in) "view", make sure your cursor is flashing after the w in "view"
- I have noticed that the selection sometimes does not highlight, if this happens clicking again in the field (after the w in view) should fix this.
- Right click on the multiple selection
- Select Auto Explore Selected Link
- Select Fast Scrape (Include Selected Data)
- Select Automatically Select Scraper
- You now should have the first 50, check in scraped window
- Go back to tables
- Click the first blue button from the left – (load next page in series), wait until the page is loaded (animated circles should have stopped)
- Again make sure that the cursor is positioned after the w in view
- Right click on selection
- ……………. and so on until you have all the data.
- Go to scraped, now Export in your preferred format.
- Note that there is no need to use any Catch button in this process.
I'm sure this process could be further enhanced by using Outwit's Macro's, but I haven't got that far in my learning curve just yet.
My original blog post on using Outwit Hub can be found here.
Note of Caution – Always check a service providers Terms and Conditions before extracting data.

A critically-injured woman has been arrested on suspicion of murdering her two-year-old daughter, who died after falling from a house.
The 36-year-old and the toddler were discovered in the back garden of an end-terrace house in Bradford, West Yorkshire, by a neighbour who called police and paramedics.
They appeared to have fallen from a first-floor window yesterday morning.
Both were taken to hospital but the little girl died soon afterwards.
Today, West Yorkshire Police confirmed t hey had launched a murder inquiry following the incident in Delamere Street, in the Marshfields area of the city.
Officers confirmed that the child's mother had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The woman is understood to be in a critical condition in hospital.
People living in the quiet, residential street described their shock at what happened in the house many thought was empty.
According to reports, neighbour Mohammed Yaseen raised the alarm after he was alerted by the woman banging on a bin before he and a local window cleaner tried to help with first aid.
Another neighbour, Masood Rana, described how he witnessed the heartbreaking scene of the little girl being carried out to an ambulance.
Mr Rana, 47, said he noticed the w indow cleaner who had gone to help and his neighbour in the garden of the house when he returned from the school run yesterday.
"I went inside and, after about 10 or five minutes, I heard a sort of banging noise and I looked outside and saw the police and paramedics here," he said.
"After about 10 minutes I saw a body being carried out - a little baby - into an ambulance.
"After another five minutes or 10 minutes, there was a lady taken out of the house into an ambulance."
Mr Rana said: " It's really sad. It's a tragic incident what happened.
"I don't know if the lady's got family here. My initial thoughts go to the family. It's really sad.
"We are all shocked and we're all asking each other 'Who lives there?'."
Mr Rana said he and his neighbours believed the house was empty and his attention was drawn to the window cleaner and neighbour because he thought they might be prospective buyers.
"As far as I knew, the last tenants had moved out of the house and the house was empty," he said.
"I was shocked that somebody was in there.
"It is sad. Everybody is shocked. I'm a father of four and my children are shocked as well."
Other neighbours said they believed the woman and the child had lived in the house for around three months.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: " Police have launched a murder investigation following the death of a two-year-old girl in Bradford.
"The girl and a 36-year-old woman were found unconscious outside an address in Delamere Street at around 9.15am yesterday.
"Both were taken to hospital, but the child sadly died a short time later.
"The woman remains in hospital, where she is in a critical condition.
"A post-mortem was carried out last night, which revealed that the girl died of injuries consistent with a fall.
"A 36-year-old woman, who police can confirm is the child's mother, has been arrested on suspicion of murder."
Detective Chief Inspector Jon Morgan, added: " We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, but are appealing for anyone with information to contact the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
This morning, flowers were laid outside the house, just off the busy Manchester Road in the city.
A note on one floral tribute said: "RIP Little One. Heaven's gained an angel."
Police community support officers were guarding the property today and a white forensics tent had been erected in the small back garden.
Forensics officers could be seen entering and leaving the house.
Labour councillor for Little Horton Sher Khan said the death of the unnamed youngster had shaken the community.
He said: "I've lived in that area all my life - 45 years - and it's a good community, lots of good neighbours, so this is a great shock to everyone.
"You can imagine that, when a two-year-old child dies in a street, it's a real shock for a community. It's touched everyone around here."
Mr Khan said he believed the woman and her daughter had lived in the house for a few months and had come to Bradford then from the South of England.

Gardening with a Mediterranean flair
Gnarled trunks rise from ancient roots, and silver leaves flash in the sun. Texas gardeners are bringing the feel of the Mediterranean to their yards as olive trees, subtropical evergreens, become more widely available.
Gina Liuzza has nine olive trees scattered around her Houston home. "I just love being able to look out the window and see the olive leaves, the color. It's great. They're not like anything else."
Most of her trees are in decorative pots, where they grow slowly, topping out at about 5 feet high. She grows them for the graceful year-round fluttering of silver-green leaves. And planting in containers allows her the flexibility to rearrange the garden. In years with favorable weather, her trees bear white flowers in spring. Sometimes there's a bonus of olives in fall.
As interest in olive oil skyrocketed in recent years and a handful of Texas ranchers have begun growing olives commercially, homeowners have begun adding olive trees to their landscapes, both for the evergreen foliage and the Mediterranean sensibility.
Other people see an enduring life force in the trees. "You don't buy and grow an olive tree in Houston for the olive oil harvest. You buy it for peace, love and because it's the tree of God," says Elie Massoud, who planted his first olive trees 20 years ago.
Trees planted in the ground will reach 8 to 25 feet high, depending on the variety, and they can be pruned to fit smaller spaces.
According to the Texas Department of Agriculture, the areas around Houston and San Antonio are an olive-friendly zone with hot summers and cool-to-cold winters. Trees are freeze-sensitive but may survive brief hard freezes with damage from periods of low sustained temperatures. If temperatures drop below 10 degrees, trunks may die back to the ground, although mature trees may come back from the roots.
Fredericksburg resident Kathy Shearer planted an Arbequina olive tree in a large terra-cotta pot eight years ago. It stands about 6 feet tall, and though it dropped its leaves in this winter's hard freezes, it's still green beneath the bark.
The tree requires a minimum of care; just watering as needed and a twice-yearly dressing of turkey compost. "It likes not being taken care of," Shearer says.
Hundreds of olive varieties have evolved for various climates. The two most commonly recommended for Texas home landscapes are Mission and Arbequina.

Mission, a California cultivar and the most cold-resistant variety, grows into a midsize tree and produces olives that can be picked green or brown-red. For best pollination, you'll need to plant at least two Mission trees to produce fruit.
The Spanish variety Arbequina is suited to warmer Gulf Coast areas. It's also a good choice for gardeners looking for a small tree. It is a self-pollinating variety, so a single tree may bear fruit. The olives are small but prized for high-quality oil.
Olive trees need full sun, preferably in an area protected from north winds. The trees will grow in a range of soils as long as they don't become waterlogged. Homeowners with heavy clay soil should amend or plant in pots. Olive rancher Jack Dougherty, who owns First Texas Olive Oil in Wimberley, suggests planting trees away from irrigated lawns to prevent overwatering.
An olive tree in a good location may live 80 years or longer. The trees are drought-resistant but regular watering will help them thrive and bear fruit. Dougherty recommends watering every week to 10 days during hot, dry periods, starting with 2 gallons per tree and adjusting as needed.
Grower Jim Henry of Texas Olive Ranch in Carrizo Springs adds that the biggest mistake home growers make is forgetting to water in winter.
Because olives are evergreen, the trees need more water than deciduous trees. Regular watering will help trees survive cold-stress. He recommends twice a month during dry periods.
An application of manure-based compost once or twice a year will strengthen trees. Compost adds nutrients over time, which is particularly important for potted trees.
San Antonian Cathy Tarasovic dresses her two potted Arbequina trees annually. Last year, she harvested a gallon of olives from each and then brined the olives for a taste of Tuscany in Texas all year.
Gardeners in deer-infested areas should protect olive trees from grazing.

Union Leader: Kuster joins new bipartisan congressional coalition to address nation's fiscal problems
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster on Thursday joined a bipartisan call for a balanced approach to the nation's fiscal problems as a member a new congressional coalition called the United Solutions Caucus.
The New Hampshire Democrat joined a Capitol Hill news conference with 21 Republicans and 11 Democratic new member of Congress in outlining "bipartisan principles for reducing the deficit, growing the economy, and protecting seniors and the middle class."
They said they will "continue working together" to find common sense solutions," according to Kuster's office.
"Now is the time for Republicans and Democrats to put politics aside and work together on a long-term, bipartisan deal to address our fiscal challenges," Kuster said.
"No more lurching from crisis to crisis, no more my-way-or-the-highway demands. The only way to meaningfully reduce our deficit and put our nation on a sustainable fiscal path is by working together to find common ground.
"That's what the American people want, it's what our economy needs, and it's what our country deserves," Kuster said.
According to Kuster's office, the new members of Congress have been meeting over the past several weeks to design a framework for addressing our fiscal challenges by streamlining government, simplifying the tax code, generating new revenue, and cutting spending. They also are committed to protecting Social Security and Medicare.
The group will formally organize and continue meeting as the United Solutions Caucus.
"We are committed to a new era in Congress where bipartisan solutions are the norm," the group wrote in a letter to House speaker John Boehner and Democratic Leader Pelosi. "We are dedicated to working with leadership to help bring these solutions to reality. The common good of the country demands good faith negotiation, compromise, and immediate and significant action."
Kuster's office said the announcement builds on her "ongoing commitment to bringing Republicans and Democrats together to reduce the deficit in a balanced, responsible way that will spur job creation, grow the economy, and protect middle class families."
In its letter, the bipartisan group wrote, "The 113th Congress House Republican and Democratic new members are troubled by the fiscal crisis facing the country, with burdensome debt and trillion dollar annual deficits, which affect economic growth for all and healthcare assurances for our seniors. Members of our class implore the President and Congress to address this serious challenge now.
"In recent years, Congress has lacked the political will to come together and find solutions. The freshman members of the 113th Congress believe now is the time to work together," the group wrote.
"We call upon leadership to no longer accept piecemeal solutions and to work toward finding long-term solutions to avoid financial collapse like Greece and other European countries. The bipartisan freshmen members come to the table with mutual understanding and without personal agendas or political gamesmanship."
The group called for strengthening Social Security and preserving Medicare, promoting economic growth to generate revenue, cutting spending, eliminating waste and pursuing Medicaid fraud.

With two effective pitches, Maronde primed for 'pen
Angels' sixth-ranked prospect needs work on changeup to complement arsenal
Strong and athletic, left-handed pitcher Nick Maronde has the perfect physical presence to gain respect on the mound. He's 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, and he's all business. The message he conveys with his mound demeanor is simple: "Don't dig in."
That's what I like most about the Angels' 24-year-old reliever prospect. He's in control when he's pitching.
As a starting pitcher for Lexington Catholic High School in Kentucky, Maronde was the recipient of awards and accolades for his 38-3 composite record. The Athletics chose Maronde in the 43rd round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, but he elected instead to attend the University of Florida, where his success continued.
In his 79 career appearances, which included 12 starts, Maronde was 5-2 with a 3.99 ERA and four saves. He had 151 strikeouts in 130 2/3 innings.
In 2011, the Angels selected Maronde in the third round. He signed his contract and began his career as a starting pitcher for Class A Orem in the Pioneer League. In five starts, he threw to a very solid 2.14 ERA with an equally impressive 1.10 WHIP.
Maronde, the Angels sixth-ranked prospect, has skyrocketed through the Angels system.
In his second season, Maronde pitched at four classifications. He threw 99 2/3 Minor League innings over 20 games, 18 of which he started. Beginning in the Arizona League during the summer, he worked his way to Class A Advanced Inland Empire, then to Double-A Arkansas. The highlight of his 2012 season was a call to the parent Angels on Sept. 2 at age 22.
During his brief stay with the Angels, Maronde pitched in 12 games, all out of the bullpen. He had a sparkling 1.50 ERA, facing 27 hitters over six innings.
This season, Maronde returned to Double-A and pitched exclusively as a reliever. He threw 56 1/3 innings, yielding only 41 hits. His 37 walks indicated a need to sharpen his control and command a bit. Carried over a nine-inning game, Maronde would average 10 strikeouts and almost six walks per game. From what I have seen of him, Maronde's secondary pitches are the source of any command issues.
Maronde throws a tailing fastball that he can locate very well on both sides of the plate and at the hitter's knees. It's a very strong pitch, from which he can alternate to a high-quality slider. The slider might well be his best out pitch. His fastball usually sits at 90-91 mph, while the slider has late bite at around 85 mph.
Maronde's third pitch is his changeup. Like many pitchers in development, at this point, that appears to be his least effective offering. It can be called a work in progress. If Maronde can command his changeup -- throwing strikes, and inducing swings and misses -- he will increase his opportunity for consistent success.
Maronde has some elbow and back issues in his history. However, he appears to be very healthy and ready to take his place on the Angels' 25-man roster.
With two effective pitches mastered, Maronde fits the prototype of a solid reliever. Given the fact left-handers hit only .181 against him this season, it may be tempting to label Maronde a "situational lefty." That's fine, until one looks at the .216 clip for right-handed-hitters.
It reveals that Maronde is an effective pitcher, period.

A very pretty birthday
He really did look extra pretty on his birthday. Especially the close up on his face, see? Framed by his hood, mouth closed in a semi pout, Robert Pattinson quivered the loyal fans waiting outside in the rain last night as he celebrated his birthday at Glowbal in Yaletown. He did not disappoint, gamely signing autographs and posing for photos before leaving.
I tweeted about it last night – click here for my Twitter.
Started out as a small group, just RP and an older gentleman, Kristen Stewart, and his friend Sam Bradley but others arrived as the night progressed: Ashley Greene, Jamie Campbell Bower, Charlie Bewley were the other Twilight actors in attendance and several other non-famous folks toasted Pattinson's 23rd. Noticeably absent: Taylor Lautner. He was with Selena Gomez last night and am told may not have been invited.
The best part about all of this is that there were reporters from at least 2 tabloids inside the restaurant all night observing the festivities. Cannot wait to hear how different their stories are. Several more pap agencies have also come to town hoping to cash in on Twi-hard devotion.
So what happened inside? Did Robert propose to Kristen and insist that they get married before they have sex? Did he take her up to the treetops and twirl her hair between his fingers?
Just realised…
Rossum IS perfect for Stephenie Meyer.
Unfortunately for the diehard romantics, it was just a night out with friends. Like you would at a large table, people moved around a lot. For much of the night, Kristen sat several seats down from Robert. Occasionally she'd get up and sit beside him, as would others. Wish I could tell you that they brought in a piano and he played her a lullaby but, sorry, nothing gossipy to report. Unless you want to take it upon yourself with how it ended.
After obliging his tenacious followers, Pattinson jumped into a cab with 4 others to return to hotel. Kristen was among them. There you go! Fan fiction time! Remember, Stephenie Meyer turned it into a multimillion dollar franchise. You can too!
Will I spoil it for you when I say they both had an early pick up this morning? Very early. Shooting Bella bedroom scenes. He goes through her photos and she cries and mopes some more when there are no photos. Also something about her opening her eyes and there he is beside her waiting for her to wake up. Pattinson is concurrently continuing green screen work with the other vampires. Winding down his stay in Vancouver.

Chef Graham Elliot, of restaurants Graham Elliot and Grahamwich in Chicago, shared this recipe as part of a Tree-Trimming Party Menu he created exclusively for Epicurious. Elliot calls this soup one of his favorites. It's a reinvention of a traditional butternut squash soup, using pumpkin pie as inspiration. The pepita streusel makes the "crust" of this soup, while the cinnamon marshmallows carry the spice. Both the soup and streusel can be made up to three days ahead.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- For the pumpkin soup:
- 10 whole cloves
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 whole allspice berries
- 5 whole black peppercorns
- 1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into 4 pieces
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 medium leek (white and pale green parts only), thoroughly washed and diced
- 3 (15-ounce) cans solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- For the cinnamon marshmallows:
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the pepita streusel:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup untoasted, unsalted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), coarsely chopped
- For the whipped crème fraîche:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup crème fraîche
- Special Equipment
- 2 (8-inch) squares cheesecloth; kitchen string; blender; 1 large baking sheet; parchment paper
- Make the pumpkin soup:
- Wrap the cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, allspice berries, peppercorns, and fresh ginger in cheesecloth and secure with kitchen string.
- In a large heavy pot over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and leeks and sauté until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pumpkin, 2 quarts water, and the spice package and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Remove and discard the spice package. Working in small batches, ladle the soup into a blender and purée until smooth. Transfer to a clean large pot then sprinkle with nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. DO AHEAD: Soup can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days. Reheat in a large pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
- Make the cinnamon marshmallows:
- In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine marshmallows and cinnamon and gently toss to coat the marshmallows in cinnamon. DO AHEAD: Marshmallows can be prepared in advance and stored, in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.
- Make the pepita streusel:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and, using your hands, rub the ingredients together until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the pepitas and toss to combine. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the streusel to a rack to cool, then break it into roughly 1-inch pieces. DO AHEAD: Streusel can be made in advance and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.
- Make the whipped crème fraîche:
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and crème fraîche. Whisk until light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Whipped crème fraîche can be made in advance and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 2 hours.
- To serve:
- Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with the streusel, marshmallows, and dollops of whipped crème fraîche.

anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon in the clamav-daemon package, a command-line scanner in the clamav package, and a tool for automatic updating via the Internet in the clamav-freshclam package. The programs are based on libclamav, which can be used by other software.
This package contains the command line interface. Features:
- built-in support for various archive formats, including Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, OLE2, Cabinet, CHM, BinHex, SIS and others; - built-in support for almost all mail file formats; - built-in support for ELF executables and Portable Executable files compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite, NsPack, wwpack32, MEW, Upack and obfuscated with SUE, Y0da Cryptor and others; - built-in support for popular document formats including Microsoft Office and Mac Office files, HTML, RTF and PDF.
For scanning to work, a virus database is needed. There are two options for getting it:
- clamav-freshclam: updates the database from Internet. This is recommended with Internet access. - clamav-data: for users without Internet access. The package is not updated once installed. The clamav-getfiles package allows creating custom packages from an Internet-connected computer.

First thing I should say is about the FTP active/passive mode, or say PORT/PASV mode.
We can read the differences from wikipedia or Active FTP vs. Passive FTP, a Definitive Explanation.
The two mode indicates who initialise the data connection and the active/passive is used to describe server's action.
Active mode: server create a connection to the port client gives.
Passive mode: server receive a connection from a client.

Thrift Finds: My weekly bragging blog.
(items 2-5 were all 3.00 or less. Thrift stores are your friends.)
1. Spring stock closet: Organized! I set very few goals for my week off, but getting this closet in order was one of them. I'm sure it will be a mess any day now, but let us all marvel at its current color ordered glory. Everything here will be available in the eBay shop over the next few months.
2. Bird Bag: I love this silly vintage purse. I snapped it up this afternoon, and plan on carrying it as soon as tomorrow. I'm sure this one will end up in the store shortly, but for now it it mine.
3. Forever 21 Dress: Seriously, who doesn't love ruffles? Since I will sell every sweet vintage sun dress I own in the next few months, it is nice to know that I will have a few pieces of clothing left to call my own. This F21 dress was three dollars, and will be an easy choice during the upcoming FL summer.
4. Curtains: Yay! It has been such a struggle finding curtains to go with my orange (aka sunset heat) colored bedroom. The east facing window in my bedroom has been killing me. Now all I need is to install a curtain rod of some kind, and the day star will no longer get the chance to wake me up at 7am. Take that sun!
5. Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer: That's right! I found this fantastic piece of kitchenware for a cool $1.99. I'm pretty sure all it does is spin liquid around, but who cares? Check out the Hulkster in his yellow cowboy boots. He makes me wonder why the guy selling the Magic Bullet doesn't wear a full spandex outfit. I bet it would boost sales. Also, please check out the lady all the way to the right. Her expression says it all.
Happy Thrifting,
XO Robyn

Storm cleanup costing Maine municipalities
Gorham received the most snow from the blizzard
Managers for two of the municipalities hit hardest in last week's blizzard said the storm will be costly, but nothing they haven't already budgeted for.
Gorham received 35.5 inches of snow, the most in Maine.
Gorham Town Manager David Cole said the cleanup will cost the town in overtime because it happened on a weekend. He said there's no way to know quite yet how much the storm will cost overall.
The neighboring city of Westbrook received 30 inches of snow.
Westbrook City Manager Jerre Bryant said as a ballpark figure, he believes the storm could cost the town anywhere between $50,000 and $60,000.
He said they know there will be storms when they create the budget and this storm could be 20 percent of the money they allot for storms, but it is still early in the year.

- What type of clothing should I pack?
In Spain, people dress differently according to the season, the place they are going to, and the circumstances. In the coast, because of the mild climate, it is usually not necessary to pack warm clothes; while in the interior, you should dress according to the season. In the interior of Spain, temperatures vary greatly from one season to the next, with very cold winters, and really hot summers. Spanish people don't dress up too much to go out, although of course, it depends on where you are going.
- What is the weather like in Spain?
Spain, one of the warmest countries in Europe:
Spain has a predominantly warm Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and winters with balanced temperatures. Here you can enjoy more than 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. It is no surprise, then, that this is one of the warmest parts of Europe.
When talking of weather, special mention should be made of the Canary Islands. Their special location, facing the coast of Africa, gives them a benign climate with mild temperatures (22ºC year-round average on the coasts), with only small temperature differences between day and night, whatever the season.
Nevertheless, variety is the main characteristic of the climate here, due to Spain's immense geographical diversity.
So that if you travel to the north, to the Cantabrian coast, you will find a mild climate with high rainfall. Winters are mild and in summer temperatures rarely exceed 25ºC.
However, in the higher parts of the country, the climate is harsher and it is common to see snow from the beginning of winter to the end of spring. This is the case of the Pyrenees, the mountains of Sierra Nevada, the Central and Iberian ranges, and the Cantabrian Mountains, amongst others.

Breast Cancer Memorial Fund Created to Honor Walk's Founder
For the last 20 years, The Walk to Fight Breast Cancer has been monumental in providing mammograms and other diagnostic screening for Alexandria women who are uninsured or not adequately insured. To honor the Walk's founder, Vola Lawson, who passed away in December 2013, the Walk will be renamed. A fund has been created in her memory, the Vola Lawson Breast Cancer Memorial Fund.
Since its inception in 1994, the Walk has helped over 8,000 uninsured Alexandria women receive free mammograms and other diagnostic screenings. Over the last several years, Walk Fund usage has increased while donations have seen a decrease, resulting in the Fund's near depletion. This year, the Vola Lawson Breast Cancer Fund will participate in ACTS Spring2Action Giving Day, taking place Wednesday, April 9, 2014. Please help to keep the memory of Vola and her vision alive. You may donate at:http://www.razoo.com/story/

I was sifting through my Tumblr yesterday evening and came upon the most delightful wellies I'd ever seen.
The beautiful Brabourne Farm site had a post on a bunch of adorable wellies and these just stopped me in my tracks.
I adore cute wellies but these have to be my favorites so far. They weren't referenced so I had to do a bit of sleuthing but I finally found them... and on sale too!
The red pair are shiny and striking.
But the Meadow green pair are my favorites. They all have the classic wellie shape and would look just adorable with dresses and tights in winter as well as cute summer shorts.
Wellies have become one of those "must have" shoes that every girl needs. These are a bit high for rainboots but not too crazy pricey, especially at the sale price. And if you wear them as fashion boots (not yard work boots) they will last a long time and add a fun, fanciful element to a dreary rainy day.

This recipe was in an old TOH compilation of recipes, but it used a cut up chicken instead of b/s breasts in the original recipe. I prefer using bone-in chicken pieces - I take off the skin and all the fat I can - and I add a can of mushroom soup and either chopped fresh onion, a couple tablespoons of onion soup mix, or about a tablespoon or so of dried onion flakes. I also find that I need to bake it longer - maybe as much as 30 minutes more - or there is some slightly raw rice in it. You can add one half extra cup of either milk or water, too. It is a rather bland dish, but it has a comforting appeal and isn't too much work to put together. Sometimes comfort and ease of preparation is what I'm looking for! It makes lots, too, and is filling.

This is a favorite of my husbands. He cannot stand real spicy food, and when he is having a bad time with his tummy, this meal makes him smile.

Company in Hollywood and Oz
If you were wondering what that strange feeling you had recently was—a sensation like some great evil in the world had suddenly been put to rights—then I'm happy to explain: Company has got itself an Australian publication date.
About time, I know. It's very weird to be published overseas but not at home. I wouldn't mind if my book was completely ignored or flayed by critics, so long as people could at least find it in a bookshop. Well, I'd mind a little. No, you're right, that would suck. But having Company unavailable in my home country really niggled at me this year. I'm very happy to be getting that fixed.
The details: it'll be a A$29.95 paperback out March 2007 from Scribe Publications, available in Australia and New Zealand.
In film news, I spoke to Steve Pink recently—he's the guy writing the Company screenplay. I gotta say, when the film rights sold to this book, I had no idea how it could be a movie. I mean, it was barely a novel. For me, it was more like colonic irrigation: by the end, I felt like I'd flushed out everything I had left to say about corporate life. But Steve described some scenes to me, and they sounded very funny. So now I'm intrigued.
Apparently if this film gets made, Jen and I get to fly first class to the premiere. Jen thinks this is the most exciting thing ever. Not the movie. The chance to fly first class.

Netherlands-based application performance management (APM) company Jinspired has released its JXInsight/OpenCore 6.3 product for software "call and resource" usage accounting. With a track record in resource transaction analysis and software activity resource metering, this latest Java-based solution is designed to give developers tools to monitor quality of service and self-costing awareness into their application code base and runtimes.
Using its own activity-based metering runtime, Jinspired has provided its version 6.3 release with new extensions (added in the early access and release candidate builds) offering usage detail record creation and storage capabilities.
The company's tools are listed somewhat superfluously under both APM and CPM (continuous performance management), but essentially, are all engineered to provide performance measurement as well as testing and software behavioral analytics and reporting via both online and offline metering and metrics model inspection support within its open metering API.
Jinspired founder and director of business development Rod Peacock has noted that developers today often find themselves working within low latency environments such as trading or gaming platforms, as well as cloud services, with the responsibility to not only develop and deliver software, but also design, operate, manage, and control the actual business services being offered as a result.
"This multiplicity of factors, coupled with industry trends, namely cloud computing, continuous delivery (with ever decreasing time scales), dynamic capacity provisioning with greater ease and service API usage (that is, increasingly metered and cost aware), presents developers with many challenges in environments that they today have very little insight and control over. Developers need to be concerned not just with code but also with cost, capacity, consumption, and control. The code itself needs to become much more self-aware and largely self regulated," Peacock told Dr. Dobb's Journal.
New features in JXInsight/OpenCore 6.3 include:
- An open API interface to share contextual data between the application and custom extensions.
- An open API interface to create offline integrations with continuous performance management processes.
- New advance configuration options for custom metering interceptors, plugins and supervisors.
Jinsight claims that JXInsight/OpenCore addresses the challenge of building more "self-aware" code by virtue of the company itself being the primary consumer of its own measurement data, which it uses for overhead budget control and "dynamic strategy based measurement," allowing the company to instrument far more, whilst offering runtime impact guarantees.
"This product's intelligent activity metering technology eliminates the guesswork in measurement planning," said Peacock. "In terms of cost, it offers multidimensional measurement analysis in the metering of latency as well as the financial liability (cost) and leasing (consumption) of resource capacity for individual requests."
Capacity and control management is delivered by allowing developers to imbue the measurement points with QoS concerns, supervisors and feedback controllers that can protect capacity, police code and its cost, and predict capacity needs within application runtimes.
