You might experience back soreness after a long day playing with the kids, have aching shoulders after overdoing it in the swimming pool, or feel calf pains during the night. Occasional muscle aches and cramps often just accompany the rigors of life. They are rarely a cause to worry.
Muscle aches can affect an active child, as well as a sedentary child who sits in front of the television playing video games and watching programs. The pain often occurs when muscles are overused and pulled or strained, particularly after a vigorous workout that didn't follow a warm-up or stretching session. The pain can range from mild to severe and usually dissipates after a few restful days. Lingering or recurrent pain, especially when accompanied by a fever, decreased muscular strength, or joint swelling, could suggest a severe strain, possibly injury.
The feeling of a muscle turning into a knot indicates a muscle cramp. Muscle cramps could afflict any child, regardless of fitness or diet. Heat cramps, which are common to the calves, the thighs, and the abdomen, can strike a person who exercises in hot weather or a hot gymnasium and who needs water. Night cramps often knot up the muscles of the calves, the feet, and the thighs, causing sharp pains and tightened muscles, which commonly awaken people from a sound sleep.
Nutritional deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and the B vitamins are often the root cause of muscle aches and cramps. Lack of sleep can also contribute to this problem.
Recommended Food Eat foods that are high in calcium: kelp, cheese, collards, kale, turnip greens, almonds, yogurt, milk, broccoli, and calcium-enriched rice and soymilk.
Also eat foods that are high in magnesium: whole grains, nuts, legumes, soy, and green leafy vegetables.
Foods that are high in potassium are beneficial as well: fruits and vegetables, specially apples, bananas, carrots, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupes, peaches, plums, strawberries, meat, and fish.
Electrolyte drinks can help you quickly restore lost minerals. We recommend these drinks only on a short-term basis, though. Many contain artificial colorings and large amounts of sugar, although more healthful alternatives are available.
Drinking water on hot days or after physical activity is important.** All of these prescriptions below have been
proven effective; level of effectiveness depends on the individual. Please
consult your doctor when taking any and all supplements.

I absolutely loved this place. Great atmosphere, great teas and such a huge variety. Unfortunately it has closed :(
Elizabeth Gordon
I love going here after I get my shots. My mom always takes me as a treat except this time I screamed so I don't really deserve it lol! Never disappoints !ðŸ˜
My visit here was my first visit ever to a tea room. I had nothing to compare it to but I was taken back from the moment I walked in the door. The first thing I noticed was the atmosphere which is so warm and welcoming. The service was friendly, the food delicious. I'll be back soon.
Martha Buma
I am very pleased with the renovated tea room at Mrs. Bridge's Pantry - the room is bright and more spacious and the wallpaper is gorgeous. The atmosphere, service, and food were great as always. Well done - we'll be back for many more lunch dates. My mouth is already watering for a delicious lemon square.
Pat Siegmund
I have been here several times and also when it was located in another location in CT. It is a true English tearoom with a true English lady running it. Its great fun and she has a variety of item to purchase as well.
Dave Kenney
At Mrs Bridges yesterday 10/16/08 Nice place nice food-Had a Pasty, very nice--was disappointed no ' Spotted Dick' in stock!! Purchased some Cards also--unusual ones! We will be back--Are the two statuesque Blonde waitresses twins? -- djk
Cindy and Percilla
For the past year or so, me and my best friend have been itching to make a trip to Mrs.Bridges Pantry. The past saturday, we finally made it a demand we go and it was for sure worth it! Coming from Rhode Island, we made the trip and were impressed with the shop, the selection, atmosphere, and staff. We first started off trying 'cream earl grey', in which one of the wonderful girls at the shop recommended. The tearoom was very busy but the waitress attended to all our needs! After fulfilling ourselves with beef and onion pub pies, we squeezed in a couple delicious scones! I didn't want to leave! I had to take a few scones home with me ! Thank you so much to the staff at Mrs. Bridges and the marvelous environment ! We will be back!
Sheryl T.
I stop by Mrs. Bridges every few months to pick up some food staples but have never eaten there. That changed this past Sunday, my sister and I decided that since it was such a cold afternoon we would stop for some tea and scones. It was delicious!!! We had only wished we had gone in for lunch because the food being served at other tables looked and smelled fabulous. We both promised ourselves we'd be back again to try the soup and quiches for a sisters only lunch. I give the service and food an A+.
Mary Beaulieu
My first trip to Mrs. Bridges occurred about four years ago, my English friend Marge introduced me to tea in the afternoon. We have tried other tea shoppes but always return to Mrs. Bridges because of the friendly staff and delicious food, not to mention the tea. Today I purchased knitting instructions and some yarn to make socks, I have wanted to do this for a very long time and at Mrs. Bridges they always encouraged me. Also, we enjoy the antique shoppes in the area and although I say I really don't need anything, I usually come home with at least a cup and saucer! Thank you Mrs. Bridges!! Mary
Pam Pettirossi
This tea room is absolutely charming and the owners are delightful. Being from England they give an authentic feel just like we have experienced in UK. Much of the food is made from scratch right in the shop and you can tell that their recipes use only the best of ingredients. Don't pass this gem buy.
I love Mrs Bridges. I like to take my book and read while I sip my tea and eat my lunch or goodie. The owners are delightful and very talkative.Staff is grea too. We even swap the latest paperbacks. Loaded with tons of tea room stuff, candy, you name it they have it. Small but cozy.
A Visitor
The tearoom is one part of a diverse enterprise in a small building (food shop, gift shop, ice cream sales, tearoom). The tea area consists of 4 little tables in a small alcove, with cute linens (though sticky and crumb-y) and fake flower decorations. I did not find it to be a relaxing environment, and on the day I visited the staff seemed overwhelmed by the various demands on their time.
Tearoom response:
We actually have six tables. sorry you didn't like our silk flowers and that your table had crumbs on it. But, more importantly, how was the tea?
Sabrina Notarfrancisco
This tearoom has an extensive selection of teas, yummy tea sandwiches, as well as a variety of scones. Scones come with a side of clotted cream and fresh strawberry jam or lemon curd. There is also a shop in which you can buy all kinds of British foods. My husband and I enjoy visiting this tearoom, but prepared to wait for a table to clear.
Lisa Martin
My girlfriend and I drove almost 2 hours to go here for tea and lunch and we were not disappointed. Both were delicious and the staff was very friendly. The weather was dreadful that day and we almost didn't go...we are glad we did and we will be back
Adrienne Snow
I brought some friends to Mrs. Bridges Pantry for lunch and tea. It was quite nice, although the service was a bit lacking. Yummy french onion tart and black current crumble.
Tearoom response:
Our apologies. We pride ourself on our service - assume the tearoom was full and the girls were working full-out. Tell our counter asst. if you ever have a problem. Veronica and Diana

In search of a label, sunlikestar garners following
WHO: sunlikestar (with Monochrome and SuperJaded)
WHAT: Alternative Concert Series
WHERE: The Boot
WHEN: Sunday, Oct. 21
Its a story thats becoming more and more familiar: promising Canadian bands seeking success south of the border.
Vancouver vets, Nickelback, who were featured on Whistler stages not too long ago, are perhaps the best example of what awaits Canuck bands eyeing up the US market. Nickelback has skyrocketed up international music charts this summer, selling over one million copies of their latest CD, Silver Side UP , since focusing its efforts on American audiences.
The Vancouver rock group, Goya, (featured in last weeks Pique ) has almost completely forgone the Canadian market in favour of striking out in the States.
"I know a lot of bands dont think about starting that way, but think about it: theres almost as many people in California as in Canada," said Goya drummer, Cam Belter. "You just think about the American money and go holy cow! You can go down there and just make really big in one state."
Belter brings up the very valid point of quick accessibility to large numbers of people. Its much more difficult for a band to tour in Canada due to the kilometres between major cities.
"And Vancouver venues arent what they used to be. Actually there just arent as many places to play," adds Belter.
That sentiment is echoed by many on the Vancouver music scene, including Sundays headlining band at The Boot, sunlikestar. These relative newcomers have started a little northern spark, earning a spot on CFOX radios coveted Vancouver Seeds 2001 compilation disk. Two bands from the same CD, Default and ShoCore, have gone on to sign with major labels and while sunlikestar is still independent, American management, some Toronto buzz and a strong independent debut CD could lead to that elusive record contract.
"Canadas sort of a weird country. Its fairly reactionary. I think the labels are reactionary too," theorizes sunlikestar lead singer, Jonathan Hetherington. "A lot of bands that are doing really well are the ones that signed American record deals. Canada could sign these bands first, but they dont take the chance."
Sunlikestar is hoping a label will follow their decision to go with the California-based Triune Music Group (of Hanson fame). Their debut CD, Inverse , is over a year old now and the group is itching to lay down new material. A record contract at this time would be welcome, rather than scraping together the cash for another independent release.

Useful Gmail and Outlook Filters
Every once in awhile I get the urge to clean up emails and get rid of a bunch of stuff I just don't need. On one hand, it's nice to be able to reference old emails, but on the other you risk exposing your personal information to potential evil-doers (hackers or even mining/advertiser information if you're using a freemail account like Gmail). Do you really need those emails from 8 years ago? Probably not.
Anyway, regardless of the motivation, here are some useful filters that I use:
Gmail filters listed below are all performed by typing the unbolded text from the bullets below into your search box. You can combine them in any way you like – just put a space between each filter
- All unread email: label:unread
- All emails sent or received prior to a specific date: before:2018/1/1
- All emails without a label: -has:userlabels
- All emails not in the inbox, sent, drafts, or chat folders: -in:inbox -in:drafts -in:sent -in:chat
- All emails with attachments: has:attachment
- All emails at least as large as a certain size (in bytes – example is about 5MB): size:5242880
Outlook is a little bit different as it offers some pretty powerful features such as search folders, but filtering can still be performed by using the search box for most items
- All unread email (multiple options):
- Choose the folder you want
- On the right side of the mail pane, there is a dropdown that defaults to "All." You can select "Unread" from the dropdown to see only unread
- Create a search folder
- On the left pane (of the default view) that shows your email folders, scroll down to the bottom of the Data File/Account where you want to view unread messages
- Look for a folder called "Search Folders"
- Right click on "Search Folders" and choose "New Search Folder"
- Select "Unread Mail" from the list in the popup window that opens and hit OK
- Drag the new "Unread Mail" search folder into your favorites (Optional)
- Choose the folder you want
- All emails received prior to a specific date: received:<2018/1/1
- All emails sent prior to a specific date: sent:<2018/1/1
- All emails with attachments: hasattachment:yes (or has:attachment)
- All emails with an attachment matching a specific file extension: ext:jpg
- All emails at least as large as a certain size (in bytes – example is about 5MB): messagesize:>=5 MB

Shame has Become Our Default Setting
May 28, 2013
At the core of our sexual being lies sexual shame instilled through an elaborate structure of cultural mores and religious values. Over millennia, shame has become our default setting. And though I see things changing in the younger generations, the reality is that shame exists deep inside our unconscious sexual identity.
Shame creates strong feelings about sex and sexuality. Feelings that confuse us about our pleasure, needs, wants and desires. Shame can make us feel that what we want to experience is somehow bad, evil or wrong.
And it's even more subtle than that. The problem for us all is that when we do want to express our deepest desires, we are held back by thoughts of suffering, deprivation, scarcity and fear. It's scary to go for what we want on a regular basis. Especially sexually.
In my experience, most folks, given the opportunity to experience more pleasure in their lives, without fear of burning in hell, without fear of being called a whore or a slut, without fear of people judging them or their families disowning them, would definitely allow themselves to have more pleasure.
But because it is difficult to do have these experiences without guilt or shame, there can be a lot of drama and hijinx that ensues as we move closer to pleasure and freedom.
I often see this very clearly when I'm leading workshops. I have to gently help people off the ledge of shame so they can step more powerfully and more fully into their pleasure. However, to face our pleasure we have to face our shame. Shame is saying "no" and the desire to experience more pleasure, freedom and happiness is saying "yes." These tend to be at opposite ends of the spectrum of sexual well being.
It's worth working with our shame in the sense that there is great power inside of our shame. The pain of shame can move us to face the gunfire, face the limiting beliefs, face the fear of freedom, face down our inherited mores and cultural values and step more fully into the adult possibility that there is even greater power in self compassion and pleasure.

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830
Description of problem:
Not sure if you want a place-holder bug under phoebe for this since people
should be able to use Red Hat 8.1 and Red Hat 8.0 with a shared home directory.
It appears that after running GNOME terminal under phoebe 3 with no changed
settings, going back and running GNOME terminal under Red Hat 8.0 leads to crash
described in upstream bugzilla:
I'll attempt to reproduce this again after clearing settings.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. share home directory with phoebe 3 and Red Hat 8.0
2. run GNOME terminal under Red Hat 8.0 fine
3. run GNOME terminal under phoebe 3 fine
4. try to run GNOME terminal under Red Hat 8.0 again
Actual Results:
It crashes on start after logging "failed to load default Xft font"
Expected Results:
The two GNOME terminal versions should run with a shared home directory.
Owen, Nalin: can you think of any reason why Xft could not load any fallback
font here?
I will post the backtrace from bug-buddy if useful. Running under strace, the
useful bit appears to be:
write(2, "\n** (gnome-terminal:1998): WARNI"..., 281

select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\34\243\314\0\3\0\340\1\347\0\0\0\17\227W\206\0\0\0\0\17"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "\1\1\320\0\0\0\0\0\16\0`\1\0\0\0\0\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\260"..., 32) = 32
fork() = 1999
wait4(1999, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0], 0, NULL) = 1999
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [SEGV RTMIN])
_exit(1) = ?
As noted, I am still trying to reproduce this down to an exact test case with a
new user with no settings.
Ok - narrowed this down to the following test case:
1) create new user under Red Hat 8.0
2) login to GNOME as the user under Red Hat 8.0, run GNOME terminal OK, logout
4) login to GNOME as the user under phoebe 3 then logout immediately
5) login to GNOME as the user under Red Hat 8.0 and run GNOME terminal again
It segfaults after the Xft font problem above. No non-default or changed
settings, no need to ever run GNOME terminal under phoebe to trigger this. Just
having logged into phoebe 3 GNOME is incompatible with Red Hat 8.0 GNOME terminal.
OK, this looks like the change I made to to add .fulldir to ~/.fonts.conf
to fix caching to work properly. Keith has a different patch that
(ab)uses the timestamp field to try and handle the same thing, though
I don't really trust it.
I'll look at that version again.
This was fixed prior to Red Hat 9

Types of learning in AI
Hello everybody,
today I want to make a short notice on question that I often receive: what kinds of learning exists in Machine Learning. I want to provide simple answer:
Learning with teacher: questions and answers.
Learning with teacher: just questions
Partial learning: questions, and some of them with answers
Active learning: at which object you'll get an answer
I suppose maybe some variations of this also exists, but as usually ML in one or another way manipulates with those four.

First of all I want to say that Acumatica controllers or as Acumatica names them graphs do not have any way to inject any dependency from interface. In such case it can be useful idea to use Microsoft Fakes library.
So in order to unit test Acumatica code you will have a need to make mix of Acumatica code with Microsoft shims. Imagine that you have following graph declaration:
public class PAllocs : PXGraph<PaymentsAllocation>
and somewhere in your graph you have method like this:
[PXButton(Tooltip = "Saves values from grid")]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Save" … more
Stubs vs Shims difference
Hello everybody,
today I want to mention difference between two kinds of testing. Shim vs Stub.
Take a look at the following code sample:
// Stub sample
public interface IDependency
void SomeMethod();
// Take note that class TestTarget allows to inject
// interface IDependency
public class TestTarget
private IDependency _dependency { get; set; }
public TestTarget(IDependency dependency)
_dependency = dependency;
public void TestMethod()
// Shim sample. Take note that class ShimTarget doesn't allow to inject
// interface as dependency
public class Dep : … more
Types of screens in Acumatica
Hello everybody,
today I want to describe one more feature of Acumatica: types of screens in Acumatica. In Acumatica majority of screens are the following:
Data Entry pages
Maintenance pages
Inquiery pages
Setup pages
Processing pages
Now let's talk in more details about those screens:
Data entry pages
As usually data entry pages located at following icon in the red rectangle.
These pages are the most frequently used pages of the Acumatica. Typically, data entry pages are used for the input of business documents, such as sales orders in a distribution module.
Maintenance pages
As usually maintenance pages located at following icon in the red rectangle. … more
Types of controls in Acumatica
Hello everybody,
today I want to describe with some screenshots kind of controls that you can get from Acumatica developer like me or any other Acumatica programmer.
Main purpose of this blog post is the following. Imagine, that you want to write super detailed instructions for Acumatica developers. After reading this article I suppose you'll be able to write instructions to them with any kind of detalization. Or even super detailed.
First of all, I want to point that as usually Acumatica pages consists of two parts: top and bottom. Top part often is named summary, and bottom is considered to be detalization of top. Take a look at following screenshot:
At presented screeshot red part … more
How to override action "Create " at form SO301000 or "Sales orders"
Hello everybody,
today I want to document one important piece of functionality in Acumatica. Sales order screen. This is very important screen and has many staff. One of the important screens in it is "Sales orders" screen. From prospective of understanding Acumatica source code of method "Actions" has plenty of food for mind.
Take a look at it's declaration:
public PXAction<SOOrder> action;
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Actions", MapEnableRights = PXCacheRights.Select)]
protected virtual IEnumerable Action(PXAdapter adapter,
[PXIntList(new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }, new string[] { "Create Shipment", "Apply Assignment Rules",

Connect your site to the CSX network
Expand your existing operations with step-by-step guidance from your area Industrial Development Manager. He or she will help you grow your current rail-served operations or explore bringing rail to your existing nonrail-served facility.
CSX Industrial Development Managers are your link to the operations and engineering teams at CSX — they serve as your liaison to the appropriate specialists to ensure that your plans adhere to network standards.
What To Expect
There are four phases of the expansion process:
- Consultation with the Industrial Development Manager in your area
- Construction plan review and approval
- Side track agreement finalization
- Construction begins
Your Industrial Development Manager will guide you through each step of the review and approval process to ensure that your project conforms to the CSX Standard Specifications for Design and Construction of Private Sidetracks.
Consultation with Industrial Development Manager
Contact the Industrial Development Manager in your area as early as possible to understand the options available at your particular location. The Industrial Development Manager for your area will coordinate your project with the appropriate departments at CSX.
Early consultation with your Industrial Development Manager is crucial to ensure that your track design will serve your rail logistics needs in a safe and effective manner. With extensive rail design experience across all industry groups, your Industrial Development Manager can bring creative solutions to your rail needs.
Construction Plan Review and Approval
Each project is reviewed by CSX's Operating and Engineering departments to ensure that we can provide the service your business needs and that the design of the track meets CSX standards. Your Industrial Development Manager is your liaison to these departments during the review and approval process.
Sidetrack Agreement Finalization
The final step in the approval process is the execution of a new or revised Private Sidetrack Agreement (PSA). The PSA outlines the relationship between CSX and your company and details, among other items, the ownership, construction and maintenance of the tracks. If work is to be done on the CSX right of way, this document also gives your company the right to enter CSX property to perform the work.
Construction Begins
Once the plans and operation have been approved and the sidetrack agreement is executed, you can begin construction with the knowledge that the design meets all CSX requirements for a safe and efficient operation.
During the course of construction, CSX field engineering personnel may make periodic visits to the project site to ensure that the work is being performed according to CSX specifications. CSX field engineering will perform a final inspection of the completed work and, upon acceptance by CSX, the track will be placed in service. At this time you are able to ship to or from the new track.
Ready to get started? Contact your Industrial Development Manager to understand more about expanding your facility to include rail.

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer
Gracias por su visita / Thanks for visiting.
What an odd intersection this is. It appears to be a big offset in the sidewalk on the right side and the left.
The building looks very old, tired, and abandoned by human beings.
une très belle photo, et bravo pour avoir choisi le b&w, cela donne plus de force à la photo.
a beautiful photo, and congratulations for having chosen the b&w, it gives more power to the photo.
Ótima foto e perspectiva. Muito bonita as sacadas de ferro e a arquitetura do edifício. Certamente outro prédio que necessita de manutenção.
buena perpectiva y en b/n chapó
I can't believe how many excellent photos of yours I've missed these last few days...er...I guess it's been about a week...maybe. But, I'm glad that I've taken time to see them all.
Sonia, Kate, Abe, Olivier, Tony y Natalia, Gracias, thanks a lot for stopping by.

I never thought I would be one to get particularly excited about medical politics. But you get older and more frustrated with the system and dare I say it actually more idealistic.
Medical training is one of many personal bug bears.
I got into medical school on the basis of grades and a UCAS form alone. No one spoke to me and asked me questions as to whether my personality and character and all the rest was in any way amenable to it.
I have said this before about medicine. You do not need to be smart to do this job. You need to be smart enough (echoes of outliers there…), but overall it's not quantum physics or maths or anything truly requiring smarts.
The vast majority of what i do is talking to people and good old fashioned hard work. Grades are no reflection of this. As grades for entry to medical school continue to rise – in order to find some way of differentiating the thousands of candidates – then more and more we are producing legions of bookish docs with smarts coming out their arse but who couldn't talk their way out of a paper bag. I'm not suggesting a better system. Just saying the one we have sucks…
I worked out in the first term of medical school that i could pass exams with little work and proceeded to spend five years getting solid below average marks. And no one pulled me up and said you should have done better.
I came out of medical school with just enough knowledge not to kill someone. And no idea how to make them better.
I have spent the past 5 years studying and learning all the things i think i should have learnt in medical school. Medical School was largely a waste of time in my case.
Hopefully that concerns you some what.
Over the past 5 years there have been significant changes in both under graduate and post graduate medical education. Not that they were perfect before but I'm pretty sure they're a bit shit now.
Most will have heard the MTAS fiasco that made headlines a few years ago. That and the lost tribe of junior docs with few options for further training.
There as been a bit of an obsession in medical education on competencies and juniors being signed off as fit to manage and perform certain skills, procedures and conditions. No mention of them being good at it. Just as long as they're competent.
Which brings me to this month's EMJ editorial (yes i read a journal called the emergecny medicine journal. I'm comfortable with that. There's a journal simply called "gut" for gasrtoenterologists…) where someone sensible has piped up and said that maybe competencies aren't all they're cracked up to be and perhaps someone with all the competencies in the book mightn't be quite what they're cracked up to be.
Maybe i just like the cynicsm cause i'm one of the lost tribe in effectively a dead end job who in the grand scheme of things hasn't so much as a single competency signed off.
Ireland kicks ass. On a sunny day that is.
Most of you will have realised by now that i am a bit of a nerd when it comes to… well everything. I am definitely a nerd when it comes to medicine. I like monitors and ultrasound machines and technology in any aspect.
And so I've kind of got into medical podacsting in a way. As if i don't spend long enough in work or studying or reading uptodate i also subscribe to a number of medical podcasts.
I got into podcasts mainly through lectures and sermons on theology that I could listen to while driving round New Zealand and fed up listening to Pedro the Lion for once.
I then managed to find the wonderful Surgery ICU rounds which keeps me amused endlessly even if it is just the guy's kids screaming in the background. It also reinforces to me that whatever faults the American health care system has, they do seem to train their doctors bloody well – there aren't too many plastic surgeons in the UK who know their pharmacology and physiology well enough to run an ICU as well as do what many would call the main part of their job – surgery. Or maybe i'm being harsh on the surgeons in this country.
Between that and my time in the ICU in NZ and the most wonderful Bad Science and How to read a paper I've become a bit of an evidence based medicine junkie. This is sad i know but comforting and satisfying none the less.
I recently discovered EMRAP TV which is worth watching even for the non-medics – it seems to be bunch of Emergency Medicine docs in California led by someone who vaguely reminds me of Foy Vance who make bad jokes (well most of them) and talk about complicated medical things while taking the piss out of everything in sight. It's an odd show.
The American College of Emergency Physicians publish their own podcast with endless comments about how if you kill anyone on their advice then it's not their fault. Interestingly the manuscripts seem to be read by professinal voice over people with cool voices and dubious pronounciations.
The other one i follow pretty closely is one from Albany Medical centre. Who appear to have regular Grand Rounds where they have lectures and teaching for their staff, so that they're continuing to learn and keep up with what's happening in medicine. What a novel idea…
Though they must live in a different world, imagine taking all the docs off the floor for a few hours a week in A&E. Wouldn't be a good plan. All the other specialities do it and it turns out all their patients survive without them and have to wait till their finished. Not so in A&E where the painful toe for seven years has to be seen and sorted in 4 hours – Everything is an emergency it seems… Right. Stop ranting andrew…
They seem to podcast every week, lectures on everything from interpersonal violence to coding and documentation in the ED.
And as ridiculous as it sounds it was the lecture on coding and documentation that really caught my ear (?).
People in America get sick the same way they do in Ireland. The difference is when they get sick here, they turn up at their GP or A&E or wherever and they just say their name and address and get sick and they get literally thousands pounds of care and they go home and get on with their life and think no more about the cost.
In America, you get thousands (and often thousands more) of pounds of care and everything is written down and recorded and you get a nice big bill at the end of the day and someone has to pay for it. The sheer scale of the billing and charging process is simply mind-boggling.
Driving back from Portstewart listening to this guy lecturing the residents on how to fill the charts properly to make sure that they actually get paid for the work they do, and at the same time warning them all against fraudulently claiming care they've not actually provided.
I find it hard enough simply looking after the patients I see, never mind thinking about the endless reams of paper work and charging aspects of it. Never have i been so glad to be in the chaotic mess of the NHS. How i love you so…
So next time you see me in the car, you'll realise I'm rocking out to life-threatining dermatoses…
I was never into classical music. It was all dead guys and bow ties and harpsichords. In my ignorance I claimed that classical music, while technically proficient lacked soul. As if somehow skinny guys with guitars had the market sewn up on that one.
I was raised on Simon & Garfunkel, though mainly Simon with a bit of Bright Eyes (no not that one…) thrown in for good measure, long with Abba, Neil Diamond, The Beatles and Buddy Holly. I figure that's not bad for growing up in the eighties. I give thanks for my parents music taste.
My lasting memory of classical music is off the old Hamlet ads. That and a brief flirtation with some complication album that had some Elgar in it that taught me all new levels of melancholy – I was 16 that was what I lived for at the time it seemed.
I think the main problem I had with classical music is my ignorance. I mean you can't just look at the titles cause they're all numbered numerically. You've no idea what they're about really except what number they are and what key they're in.
And I miss lyrics. I miss lovely little self-deprecating bridges and resolving choruses and shouty backing vocals. I have no point of reference with classical music.
Though I am perhaps learning.
Thanks to the wonders of Spotify (via the office) I can now get any music I want streamed online – I can hook you up with an invite if you're interested… With my level of ignorance I can simply type Classical music and be presented with reams of the stuff in all it's "western European dead guy in a wig" glory.
Now there are strict rules for when you play it. The house will be empty, and tidied, and I will have a clear agenda ahead of me, largely involving coffee and books. It is also good to revise to. It is even good for lying down on the sofa and simply plain listening to. Which is something I do far too rarely and too often use music as a literal soundtrack to whatever else I'm doing with my life.
Anyhow the dead guys rock. Someone get me my harpsichord.
[Inspired by a lovely little article here]
Something me and CW and Skeeno were chatting about over dinner a few weeks ago. What defines health? What is the state of health that we are aiming to acheive? Is there such a thing as ideal health?
Me and CW are fairly passionate about what we do, more so as time goes on it seems. Medics don't often talk about this in work situations – at least that seems to be what I find. Most seem pretty focused either on the shift at hand or more depressingly their careers. It is not that often I chat to a doc about the fundamental aspects of what we do everyday. I do this more everyday. Maybe this just reflects how much I'm frustrated with my job. Who knows.
Anyhow. Back to definitions of health. This will naturally have cross over with a slightly larger question – what's the definition and point of life itself? What are we aiming towards and why do we do any of it? This is a huge topic and I suppose I'd prefer to avoid the wider picture and focus on the health aspect.
Back in medical school we had all these nonsense lectures that I never went to that were titled "the man in society" (how did they git away with "man in society" in the early noughties, surely it shoul have been "the person in society" given how PC they were) which were largely about the sociology behind medicine. Despite either hating or missing or dismissing all those lectures as touchy feely nonsense I have to confess that in retrospect they were all true.
The concept of health is undeniably holistic. Which is of course a fashionable word. I tend to describe such concepts as making the remarkably obvious exceptionally complicated.
People are not so easily defined as pathologies. Doctors study and treat pathologies and occasionally we make some impact on those pathologies – though I would stress how occasional that is.
Patients have lives and relationships and desires and hopes and ambitions and fears despite their ejection fraction of 15% or their incipient renal failure.
I spent a good 5 minutes the other day encouraging an 80 year old to keep smoking. What's it going to do? Kill him?
If you're 80 and mobile and continent and conscious you're doing pretty well. You'll be dead within 10 years. Why stop what you do everyday and enjoy.
Any healthcare decision or intervention is a balance of pros and cons. Of you're thirty with two young kids and a bad family history of heart attacks then I'd happily spend as much time as needed persuading you to stop smoking – presuming of course that you think seeing your kids grow up and develop as something that is vital to you. As a paternalistic and well educated medical professional I have decided that what you'll miss and find hard about not smoking is nothing compared to the joy of bouncing your first grandchild on your knee.
Trust me I'm a doctor.
Health is more complicated than cholesterol levels and life expectancy. Our patients need and want us to advocate for their health. Maybe we should ask them what that means occasionally.
Hotels are like a bit of a different world. These little boxes of isolation around the world. Where all manner of indiscretions, infidelities and illegality appear to take place (I've seen movies, I've seen what happens).
Not that these things ever seem to happen when I go to hotels, no one dies, police never charge down the door looking for drug dealers. Such is life.
Instead I sit around fantasizing about ordering a room service sandwich at 4am and unwrapping all the little miniature bars of soap. Endlessly satisfying.
My personal bug bear is the little sachets of instant coffee. Yes it's all well and good having a kettle and a few cups but what's the use if it's some shitty instant coffee stuff. I despair.
Every hotel you go to you'll find a nice copy of a Gideon bible in one drawer of the bedside cabinet (something I always remember when travelling so i don't need to bring me own…) yet in this place you'll find the Gideon's in one bedside cabinet and a guide to Buddhism in the other one. It's a double room so there's a big double bed with two bedside cabinets. Maybe the husband and wife go to bed convinced Muslims and wake up the next morning a different religion. Neat idea really. If I get a chance I'll expound a bit on the guide to Buddhism. I'm an ulsterman – I'm nothing if not ignorant.
I'm back in a hotel cause I'm down in Dublin for the (hopefully) third and final part of my membership of the college of emergency medicine (we're not a royal college yet, we're too much of a baby speciality in the world of medicine yet) – which if I pass it will give me the privilege of spending 2 or 3 hundred pounds a year to be a member of said college. I'm not sure what else I get for it. Well I suppose I get a few more letters after my name making me the esteemed and confused Nelly And I MB BCh BaO MCEM 5M SwIM bADGe… Da would be proud.
To become a member of the college of emergency medicine (and I know you're both gagging to…) you have to undergo a series of trials each more fiendish than the next, solving puzzles and surviving death defying trials… OK well maybe not…
It comes in three parts, the first is multiple choice (or multiple guess depending on your level of knowledge). I passed this first time with a comfortable margin of 1%.
Part B is a nice little short note style question format. Thankfully, and surprisingly based on real-life situations that you might encounter everyday in work. This is unlike some exam situations when you're given the case of the 98 year old pregnant lady with sickle cell trait who is also Jehovah Witness and was born with no kidneys, one lung and two heads, who presents with a ruptured aortic abdominal aneurysm who is too drowsy to consent to surgery and blood transfusion…
Part B was fine. I passed it despite thrombolysing the pregnant lady with the large inferolateral MI. Yes, I hear you cry, of course she should have undergone primary PCI and screw the radiation effects on a third trimester foetus. Next time I see a pregnant lady with an inferolateral MI I'll do better, honest…
Part C is somewhat like your driving test. I'm sure you remember, deep in the midst of time the concept of mirror, signal, manoeuvre. Though I suspect it is now text, change the track on the ipod, manoeuvre…
There are lots of things that you read in medical textbooks and read in medical books that you neither see nor do in real life. I haven't done tactile vocal fremitus on a patient for a long time. largely since the invention of this new and fancy chest x-ray thingy. It's great. Who knows what they'll come up with next.
So now that it's an exam I'm expected to go back to do all the things I learnt (well what I was supposed to learn instead of playing footy, reading CS Lewis and dreaming about pretty girls) in medical school. Though largely, useless it has at least finally given me a decent understanding and performance at a neurological examination. This has been a pleasant surprise.
I expect to fail it despite the time I've spent perfecting my instrument suturing technique on my grey fleece in the hotel room. Though I might get lucky.
Anyhow. Studying done. I can run through my planned cranial nerve examination in a neat mnemonic in less than 30 seconds. I am ready to nail this sucker. I say that now.
I tried the pub next door to study in (you doubt me but pubs and indie music are great study aids i find…) , which was empty and horrible and flitted between Joy Division and Enrique Iglesias and both so loud that i couldn't drown it out with astral weeks, no matter how hard I tried. I abandoned it for the hotel lobby which is at least quiet though doesn't appear to stock any salt and vinegar crisps.
Buddha and bed methinks.

Me and My Valentine—by Jamie Levine
I dislike Valentine's Day—immensely! Throughout the past decade—except for the year during which I was dating Library Guy—I've never actually had a serious boyfriend on February 14th. And this year was no different. Although I did recently start dating Gym Guy, I didn't expect to be dazzled by him on V-Day because he's not actually my "boyfriend"—and my expectations were right. In fact, he sorely disappointed me (though we did spend an awesome night-after-Valentine's Day together) and I was quite angry at him for most of the day. In addition, an ex-boyfriend made me cry. He didn't do it maliciously, but we'd unexpectedly arranged to meet for lunch the day before, and after I texted him to tell him how good it had been to see him, he responded with a very sweet message that made me pine for him—even though I know he's an ex for a reason.
Then there's Facebook. Although I'm not one of those hostile "I hate Valentine's Day" posters, that doesn't mean I actually enjoyed the deluge of photos that many ridiculously happy couples shared, along with sappy posts detailing deliveries of long-stemmed roses, expensive gifts, and confessions of undying love. I'm not a V-Day Scrooge—but I have my limits. I also have a penchant for conversation hearts, and popping them all day long and consciously sabotaging my fitness and healthy diet routine didn't make me feel any better about my single self.
But there is one thing—or person—that did help me feel better. And, as is often true for this single mother by choice, it was my daughter, Jayda. My little sweetheart was so excited about the holiday (likely in anticipation of all the cards and sweets she'd receive at school that day) that she dressed up in a fancy heart-covered dress, coated her lips with red lipgloss, and announced to me: "Mommy! Want to know who my Valentine is? It's a secret!" As she beckoned for me to come closer so she could whisper in my ear, I waited for her to utter the name of a boy in her class. But I was pleasantly surprised when she declared, "YOU!" and covered me with kisses.
That afternoon, when I picked up Jayda from after-care at her school, I presented her with a bouquet of roses, and informed her, "These are for my beautiful valentine!" As she grinned in delight and proudly carried the flowers to the car, I grinned too. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about mourning the love you don't have; instead, it should be about celebrating the love you do have. And when it comes to loving Jayda—and Jayda loving me—my heart is overflowing. On February 14th—and every other day of the year—she's the best valentine a mother could ask for.

What's new in ESXi 4.1: Active Directory integration, Tech Support Mode and more
Active Directory integration, support for Tech Support Mode, new vCLI commands and the ability to boot from a storage area network are some of the major enhancements VMware made to ESXi 4.1.
VMware has put a lot of effort into the ESXi 4.1 release. VMware's avowed goal is to replace its stalwart ESX "classic" hypervisor with the newer slimmer ESXi model. VSphere4.1 is the last release that will contain both an ESX classic and ESXi distribution -- from this point onwards new releases will only include ESXi.
VMware has its work cut out as far as convincing skeptical customers who will not want to give up the beloved service console (COS). In some extreme cases, giving up the service console is in the "cold dead hands" territory (if you don't understand that reference because you are not an American, you should watch this video). Yes -- it really is like that for some hard-core COS die-hards!
Joking aside, I want to delve deeper into what ESXi 4.5 offers. Has ESXi reached a new level of maturity? Is it ready to take center stage?
Let's take a very high-level view of the new features – so take a deep breath. ESXi now supports:
- Support for 1 TB of RAM and up to 320 virtual machines (VMs).
- Boot from storage area network (SAN) for Fibre-channel, iSCSI and Fibre-Channel-over-Ethernet (FCoE) with support for scripted installations using Kickstart.
- Support for Tech Support Mode (TSM) without the use of the "root" account, as well as access to the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI). This includes support for TSM over the secure shell (SSH) protocol as well as a complete host lockdown for increased security.
- Full updates from the VMware Update Manager (VUM), including the capacity to deploy drivers, CIM providers and other modules such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) SIM and IBM Director agents.
- Support for Microsoft Active Directory (AD).
- New commands in the Virtual Command Line Interface (vCLI) used to remotely manage the ESXi host from the command line, including command-line tools that enable AD support and a mcl.pl script for carrying out bulk administration tasks against many ESX hosts.
- Integrated Syslog support.
Boot from SAN and scripted installation
The boot from SAN component is an important part of the updates for ESXi. Prior to vSphere4.1 there was only experimental support for this configuration. Boot from SAN is particularly popular in blade environments, and has been a stumbling block for customers wanting to make the transition to ESXi while at simultaneously trying new platforms like Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS).
Up until ESXi 4.1, customers were faced with the underwhelming choice of ESXi on local storage, SD cards or USB memory sticks. Of course, what many customers will wonder is if VMware will deliver Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) booting for the ESXi host within the lifetime of the vSphere4 release. What many customers want is a "stateless" ESX host that has no installation and requires very little configuration.
The maximum number of blades UCS supports is 128 –- imagine masking and presenting 128 LUNs to the correct two host bus adapter (HBA) world wide names (WWNs)?
The new scripted installer has options for preinstall, post-install and first boot. Some customers may opt to use the post-install to configure the ESX hosts, and the first-boot to join the new host to vCenter. With all this in mind, having a well-understood install engine in the meantime is pretty much a must.
Many corporations have baulked at ESXi because of a lack of deployment tools. I'm hoping that customers will use PXE boot appliances like the ultimate deployment appliance (UDA) and the ESX Deployment Appliance (EDA) as one of the options for delivery installation via the network.
Support for Tech Support Mode
In all previous editions of ESXi the administrator was able to log in interactively to ESXi using what is called Tech Support Mode (TSM). Before login, though, the administrator had to type the words "unsupported" to remind the administrator that unless they are working with VMware Support with an open support request (SR) ticket, he would be on his own should something unspeakable happen.
To my surprise, this restriction has been limited. The general rule of thumb in the world of VMware is that if something is "experimentally" supported, there's a good chance it will be supported in the future, but if something is not supported, then nine times of 10 it never will be.
This shift in the support policy is a major concession by VMware. Why is it so important? Well, now that interactive mode is supported, including the use of SSH, the ESXi hosts will look and feel very similar to the old ESX classic model. The vast majority of command-line utilities are available to the administrator unmodified to the ESXi host, as they were in ESX. The only utility some administrators might miss is the text editor tool called nano, and legions of Windows Admins (like me) will be forced to get a grip on the somewhat cryptic VMware Infrastructure editor. With that said there really shouldn't be any need to go about editing files on an ESXi host.
This shift is significant because many classic ESX customers still feel there is a need for direct access to the interactive console for so-called "edge" troubleshooting. When all is lost, it is still possible to either SSH or use their BMC boards to get a command-line interface to begin troubleshooting. Of course this new access introduces a penalty -- namely a more complex and sophisticated model for security. To address this concern, VMware has introduced enhancements to ESXi that allow the administrator to more effectively control access to the system. These new security options appear in the Configuration tab and Security Profile options within the vSphere client.
The fundamental law of physical access applies, so an administrator with root privileges can log in directly to the ESXi host and modify the policy settings from there. These options change the splash screens and notifications with the vSphere Client. Currently, if you enable remote and local access you'll see a yellow exclamation on the ESX hosts. I can imagine customers may ask that this notification is changed, as it can be confused with other alarms and alerts usually triggered by performance problems or a technical error.
Not to be outdone, it is also possible to allow TSM for a specified timeout value, meaning you can enable TSM discretely for a particular purpose without it being accessible indefinitely. The timeout value is 10 minutes by default, but this is also configurable! You can open TSM to the administrator, but once the admin has finished his work, he cannot log on again until TSM is opened to the admin again. These new TSM features are configurable on the ESXi host under a new "Troubleshooting Mode Options" menu.
This kind of complex interaction is all logged to the syslog system for a complete audit trail.
Native Microsoft Active Directory Support
The new version of ESXi will natively support Microsoft's Active Directory Service. This is an interesting concession from VMware, as for many years customers have requested this feature only to find their desires falling on deaf ears.
In the past, VMware had a very conservative approach to supporting a third-party directory service for authentication to the ESX host. As with TSM, customers were on their own, and many were forced to use the rather unwieldy esxcfg-auth, Steve Beaver's LDAP_SEARCH, the Samba Project's WinBind or even commercial software to make ESX classic work with VMware's core authentication service.
VMware maintained that it was "dangerous" to create dependence between the ESX host and Microsoft ADS. What if the direct service was unavailable? If customers lost their directory service, being able to log in to the ESX host would be the least of their worries! So again it came as a pleasant surprise to see VMware shift its stance on this; and I think its good to listen to customers on occasion-- they might be on to something!
So it's now possible to link the ESX host to Active Directory as you would with a Windows Client or server under "Authentication Services" in the Configuration tab of the ESX host. Active Directory support is not limited to ESXi so you can adopt it if you are an ESX "Classic" customer as well.
On the AD domain environment you create a global group called "ESX admins." Anyone who is made a member of this group gains full administrative control in the vSphere client and associated administrative tools, albeit these privileges are circumscribed by the rights enabled in the Security Profile. This new delegation process also controls whether ESX admins can gain access to the DCUI as well as local and remote Tech Support Mode.
I think this feature is an important incentive for customers in order for them to switch to ESXi. VMware has finally recognized the dominance of Microsoft AD in the corporate space and is showing a mature approach to security compliance issues in the enterprise, where most "local user accounts" technology is impossible to implement in the world of external audits and oversight.
New vCLI commands
One of the more common gripes amongst the diehard ESX classic community is the absence of some core commands in VMware's remote command-line utility dubbed the vCLI. The perception persist despite the fact that VMware's PowerShell enhancements called the PowerCLI knocks both the interactive command line of ESX classic and the vCLI into a veritable cocked-hat.
Nonetheless, VMware has continued to invest in the vCLI to make the experience of working with it as seamless as if you were running the commands directly on the physical console. In fact the gap is so narrow, it's a wonder that VMware has bothered to fully support the use of TSM.
The new version of vCLI adds the "esxcli" command that is commonly used to configure high-level storage parameters. For example, with the esxcli command it's possible to inspect and change the path selection policies (Most Recently Used, Fixed, Round-Robin, EMC PowerPath) to the storage array. The main work to improve esxcli centers around the iSCSI stack and introduces subcommand options of esxcli swiscsi for:
- Session. Session manages iSCSI sessions.
- NIC. NIC manages iSCSI used network interface cards (NICs).
- Vmknic. Vmknic lists vmkernel virtual adapters (vmks) available for binding to the iSCSI adapter.
- Vmnic Vmnic lists available physical adapters (vmnics).
In fairness, these new command options will be of interest to both ESX classic and ESXi customers, but the main benefit can be seen in closing the gap between the two platforms. It's fair to say that in recent releases VMware's support for iSCSI has lagged behind other storage protocols in the sense that until vSphere4.1 there were no PowerCLI cmdlets to manage iSCSI, and the much vaunted "host profile" feature supported configuration of fibre-channel and network file system (NFS) protocol but not iSCSI. I'm hoping with the vSphere4.1 release these holes can be quietly filled in.
Additionally, the new esxcli command introduces support for listing devices owned by new generation of vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) filter plug-ins. VAAI is going to be very big, and it will enable the big storage vendors like EMC and NetApp to hook into the ESX hypervisor to offer intelligent enhancements, such as a "copy-offload" feature which will massively reduce the time needed to complete storage tasks such as cloning a new virtual machine or carrying out a Storage VMotion. Finally, esxcli introduces the subcommand "esxcli vms" which allows the administrator to forcibly stop virtual machines that do not respond to other methods or APIs such as the "kill" command.
As you can see, there many enhancements and improvements to ESXi. Some of them are concessions to the corporate world that VMware may have previously baulked at. I take this shift in VMware's willingness to support certain configurations as an attempt to counter customer hostility as ESX classic nears end of life. It should help VMware build a compelling case that there are now no real technical barriers to adopting the platform.
It's helpful to remember that if you intend to stick with VMware in the medium to long term that this shift has been on the radar for years. Personally, I began running ESXi side-by-side with ESX back in the days of ESX 3.5 because I wanted to expose myself to its foibles and wean myself off of the ESX service console. I took this as an opportunity to completely reassess my build process for ESX to include PowerShell scripts. I figured the sooner I made the move, the more comfortable I would be with the new platform.
ESXi has come along way since we were first handed memory sticks of it back in 2007 at VMworld Europe in Cannes. The VMware Community will hotly debate whether it is ready for production environments, but that could amount to little more than "sound and fury;" in the long-term there is quid pro quo at play here. If you remain a VMware customer, you will be forced to adopt ESXi once vSphere5 is adopted within the business. It is better to start now.

The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has fined the North East Lincolnshire Council £80,000 after the loss of an unencrypted USB drive exposed the personal information of 286 children with special education needs.
A special educational needs teacher left the drive in a laptop at the council's offices on July 1, 2011, but when she returned to the laptop, the memory stick was missing.
The USB drive, which hasn't been recovered, contained information about the 286 children's mental and physical health problems and teaching requirements, along with their birthdates and some home addresses.
The council had introduced a policy of encrypting all portable devices in April 2011, but it hadn't ensured that all memory sticks in use at the time were encrypted.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660770;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281321530;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20396194;e=i
"Organisations must recognise that sensitive personal data stored on laptops, memory sticks and other portable devices must be encrypted," ICO head of enforcement Stephen Eckersley said in a statement. "North East Lincolnshire Council failed to do this by delaying the introduction of a policy on encryption for two years and then failing to make sure that staff were following the policy once it was finally implemented."
"This breach should act as a warning to all organisations that their data protection policies must work in practice, otherwise they are meaningless and fail to ensure people's information is being looked after correctly," Eckersley added.

Leave the Boy – Eerie Eerie
LABEL: Southern Fried Records
GENRE: Dance – House
"Eerie Eerie", the debut EP by electronic duo Leave The Boy is out now through Southern Fried Records.
Leave The Boy is a project that comes from the hearts and minds of Danton Eeprom and Emma Okafor, who met at a friend's houseparty in 2009 and immediately bonded over karaoke and David Bowie, a wild combination. They wanted to unleash a new breed of inner city music, taking in their characters very different roots and backgrounds, capturing their common appeal for the cutting edge, clever RnB and electronic sounds laced with a Rock n Roll attitude – this was to become Leave The Boy.
Described as "a weird, out there slice of house music", the heavy bass and kick layered with ethereal bells and shiny space sounds on "Eerie Eerie" create a foundation for Emma's beautiful words about those ever so popular relationship/break up times, when life can seem at its most complicated. Remixes on this package come from Luca C & Brigante, Southern Fried label-mate Jack Fell Down and David Carretta.
AutoKratz – Devil's Touch
LABEL: Bad Life
FORMAT: Single

"Devil's Touch", the new single by Autokratz is out now through Bad Life.
So far 2012 has been extremely kind to autoKratz, having scored Mixmag's Electro Tune of The Month twice and DJ Mag's monthly accolade on a further occasion. Whilst their 'autoKratz presents Bad Life' moniker has been about exploring their more techno tastes, "Devil's Touch" is a prime cut of rave electro complete with driving arps, piano stabs and a typically epic autoKratz vocal.
autoKratz have embarked on another hectic summer with their Bad Life label tour continuing across Europe, an exceptional string of recent remixes and even more new music to look out for soon.

For the last 3 years he has also created the now highly-anticipated annual UK Rap Up's.
"That Rush" is a Si-Spex (formerly of The Creators) produced anthem – a "hypnotic middle eastern melodic vibe laced with a roller-coasting drum pattern and chest thumping bass", with Mystro adding jokes, punch-lines, breath-taking flows and thought provoking social commentary on the track with ease.

LABEL: Frémeaux & associés
GENRE: World – South America – Brazil
"Chega se Saudade – O Amor, O Sorriso, E a Flor" by Joao Gilberto is out now through Frémeaux & associés.
Joao Gilberto is one of the greatest figures in 20th century Brazilian music, and this set is a worthy companion to the earlier "Bossa Nova 1958-1961", which retraced the beginnings of the movement in the late Fifties amongst the poets and musicians of Rio. Here are Joao Gilberto's first three legendary albums presented on one release: the titles are raw diamonds, and as many cornerstones for the bossa nova movement to come. The soft songs of Gilberto, accompanied by his unique guitar, are essential to the international fame of the music of Brazil.

GENRE: World – Asian

Wire Transfer Payday Loan
If you are looking for an advance to get you through until your next payday, you should consider a wire transfer payday loan. If you want a same day cash advance, a wire transfer payday loan may be the best way to get your money and get it fast. If you qualify, you can have the money sent via a wire transfer immediately to your bank to help you out of a tight financial situation.
A wire transfer loan is deposited directly into your bank and is usually due on your next payday. Often it will come automatically out of your bank account on your next payday. This is considered one of the best ways to get quick cash for an emergency situation or if you need something before your next payday whether it is 3 days away or a week away. Wire transfer payday loans can come to your rescue quick and easily. They are easy to apply for, easy to qualify for and easy to get. You can have the money that you need in your hands faster than any other method of loan.
There are different types of wire transfer payday loans and they offer different amounts of monetary values- usually ranging from $100 to $1000. The amount you need may influence the company that you choose to use for your wire transfer payday loan. If one company does not offer the amount that you are seeking, or does offer the APR that you are looking for, you may need to shop around and seek quotes from different places.
It is fairly easy to qualify for a wire transfer payday loan and much easier than trying to get a loan through a bank or traditional lending institution. This is because there is no credit check involved. You simply need to have an employment status that is steady enough to show the lender you will be able to pay back the loan when the time comes. You need to be 18 years or older and a citizen of the United States to qualify. You will also need to have a bank account in your own name for the wire transfer to go to. You cannot have your wire transfer sent to a bank account in someone else's name. It can be a joint account as long as your name has been on it for the minimum time required.
For most companies offering a wire transfer payday loan, you will need to be employed at the same place for at least three months although some require longer periods such as six months. Unfortunately, if you have recently changed jobs, this might affect your ability to get a wire transfer payment advance and you may have to wait until you have been at your current job for the minimum amount of time.

White-collar crimes are usually theft crimes, which are non-violent and involve allegations of large amounts of stolen money. Modern white-collar crimes may also involve the use of computer systems and Internet technology. As such, the evidence in white-collar crime cases can be extremely complex, so it's important for anyone facing white-collar criminal charges to consult with a defense attorney near Paterson.
If you've been charged with a white-collar crime, it's important to consult with a defense attorney who you trust to craft a strong defense strategy. This helps ensure protection of your rights and future. Depending on the level of sophistication of the evidence in your case, a team defense lawyer approach may be necessary. Your criminal defense lawyer may also consult with experts in accounting and various technology fields to thoroughly examine the evidence against you. A defense attorney may be able to help if you face allegations of fraud, bank fraud, credit card fraud, or identity theft. An attorney can also help if you are accused of embezzlement or conspiracy. If you are a politician or other public figure, you may need to consult with an attorney regarding allegations of official misconduct related to white-collar charges.

A new video for The Predator has arrived. It wouldn't be fair to call this new look at director Shane Black's upcoming revival of the franchise a trailer, since it clocks in at about 40 seconds. However, it's got some bloody, great new red-band footage, complete with F-bombs, violent deaths and "the ultimate Predator." The video arrives as pre-sale tickets for the movie have officially gone on sale. So if you're eager to catch the hunter's return on opening night, now is your chance to secure some premium seats.
The marketing for The Predator got off to something of a rocky start, as the first trailer left many fans feeling cold and not sure what to make of it. However, as things have progressed, the movie has looked increasingly entertaining and this new video is one of the better compiled bits of footage we've seen so far. To aid matters, this new video comes complete with a new track from Tom Morello, of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave fame, which is set for release this Friday called Rabbit's Revenge. The track features Bassnecter, Big Boi and Killer Mike and is to be included on his new album The Atlas Underground. It works quite well as the backdrop to some Predator carnage here.
Shane Black has been doing reshoots on the movie to get it in better shape for release. Unfortunately, that meant some things shifted along the way and Edward James Olmos' role has been cut, as we recently learned. This new promo does a nice job of highlighting the various cast members who didn't get cut. The cast for The Predator includes Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey and Yvonne Strahovski.
The franchise has been dormant since the release of 2010's Predators. It was by no means a bad movie, but it just didn't reignite a passion for the series with moviegoers. Will The Predator be able to be the first great movie since the original action classic was released? We'll know in a little less than a month, as it's just been announced that the movie will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6 as part of their Midnight Madness series.
Predator was released in 1987 and remains a seminal action classic to this day. Unfortunately, none of the sequels have managed to capture that same level of magic. Here's hoping that changes next month. Shane Black, who actually starred in the original Predator alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, co-wrote the screenplay for this latest entry with Fred Decker. The pair previously collaborated on Monster Squad. The Predator is set to arrive in theaters on September 14. Be sure to check out the new promo video, courtesy of the 20th Century Fox YouTube channel, for yourself below.

its Web servers. How do SSH keys represent an attack vector and what are the most important factors in ensuring SSH keys are restricted appropriately?
Secure Shell keys protect communication between two networked devices, and they are often used for remote authentication.
In the August Apache server attack, an unrestricted SSH key from an account used for automated backups was compromised. This key was then used to access a high-visibility server.
Passwordless SSH keys used for automated processes represent an attack vector because their safety is determined by the security of the host. If the security of this host system is compromised, an attacker consequently has access to the SSH key.
In fact, the SSH key needs to not have a password so that the automated processes can run unattended. The SSH key can be password protected and the automated process can have the password embedded in it, but these settings only slow the attacker down.
Unrestricted SSH keys will also slow or restrict an attacker to only use the SSH key to connect from specified locations or from using specified commands. This will require the attacker to route his or her attack through these systems or be limited to the specific command. These restrictions can greatly improve the security of SSH keys, but one additional step that can be taken on the SSH server is to only enable an account used during the time necessary to set up a connection, thus further limiting access to the account.
For example, if you need to use rsync, a software application that synchronizes files from one location to another, over SSH, follow the recommendations from the Apache incident and restrict where a SSH key can be used from, what commands it can run, and additionally have an automated process that enables and disables the account used during the time window for the rsync. This limits an attacker to only using the SSH key from the specified host using the specified command at the specified time. The technique here isn't impervious from attack, but it is a definite improvement over unrestricted, passwordless SSH keys.
