An update to .NET 3.5 SP1 has been recently released, you can search for KB959209 in the Microsoft Knowledgebase. Here is a direct link to the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959209. This update is important for Dynamic Data users that are using the Entity Framework as it corrects the problem that the RTM version of Dynamic Data had with certain types of relationships with Entity Framework. This can been seen with 1->0..1 and *->1 relationships which may generate error messages like "'System.Web.UI.WebControls.EntityDataSourceWrapper' does not contain a property with the name 'Orders.OrderID'". Download and install this update to correct this issue.

I'm working on EF DynamicData project (for .NET 3.5) and I didn't manage to find any code or examples for filters like in Dynamic Data Filtering (http://dynamicdatafiltering.codeplex.com/) or Dynamic Data Futures that support Entity Framework (the versions are for Linq2SQL only).
The primary functionality that i want implement is having dynamic textboxes for searching datagrid based on the filterAttribute. Can You help me with an idea or some guideliness how to implement it or make modifications on something existing?
I'm using Dynamic Data and have created a custom List.aspx page. I simply want to populate the grid with a stored procedure. I've seen some posts about doing this with a LinqDataSource but not an EntityDataSource. Does someone have an example or a different way of doing this? Thanks.
I have used Dynamic Data before using LinqToEntity where my Entity model used the Data First model and the GUI. Now I am trying to use the Code First model witht he Entity CTP 4. I have my model created and created a new Dynamic Data site. I read that I need to replace the default RegisterContext call:
DefaultModel.RegisterContext(typeof(PriceLoaderContext), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });
DefaultModel.RegisterContext(new DomainModelProvider(typeof(PriceLoaderContext)), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });
When I search further on DomainModelProvider, I find that it is part of the WCF RIA. Is this correct? Is this what I need for this to work? Has anyone else done this and got it to work?Thanks,Fred
I am trying to use asp.net dynamic data using entity framewrok. my entity framework (edmx file) is in another dll and I dont want to put connection string in config files.I use this code to register my objectContext in global.asax:
model.RegisterContext(() => new MyObjectContext("EntityConnectionString"), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });
the first page (the list of tables) is ok, but when i click any table, i get this error:
The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid.
it seems that for the second request, it checks the web.config to look for entity connection string.
The entlib 5 sugest me to use with data accessors for mapping data from database to my data objects (ORM).
But in .NET 3.5 and especially in .NET 4, I can use in entity framework as ORM methodology for data objects.
What data accessors uses advantages over the entity framework?
What differences that should be affect on my using decisions?
Julie Lerman shows database administrators how to limit access to databases from the Entity Framework by allowing it to work only with views and stored procedures instead of tables-without impacting application code or alienating developers.

Delosperma Congestum - Plant
The plant is potted in 4 inch plastic Pot
Description for Delosperma Congestum
The hardy Ice Plants are native to dry areas in South Africa but are amazingly hardy in North America, provided they are grown in very well-drained soil. This species forms a spreading carpet of succulent evergreen leaves, bearing starry yellow flowers for months on end. Leaves turn maroon during winter.
Being an alpine species, it appreciates more regular moisture than other South African succulents. Plant Gold Nugget where it receives some afternoon shade, particularly where summer temperatures are hot. A gem for mountain rock gardens.
|Common name
|Flower colours
|Bloom time
|Gold Nugget, Gold Nugget, Ice Plant
|Summer, late Spring to Early Fall
|3 inches, 1/2" tall
|Easy to grow
Planting and care
Growing plants can be inexpensive, particularly when growing them from seed. Seeds of plants flowers should usually be sown directly into the sunny flower bed, as developing roots do not like to be disturbed.
|Full Sun to Partial Shade
|All the species of hardy cacti and succulents require fast-draining soil.
|Outdoor beds with new plants should be initially watered once every 5 to 7 days for the first month or so after transplanting. Cacti and succulents enjoy regular watering during the heat of the summer and will grow vigorously. After the first year, most cacti species need a good soaking only once every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer if there has been no rain. Potted plants require more frequent, regular watering, especially if the weather is hot and dry.
|20 degrees C [68 degrees F]
|Apply any organic fertilizer
Caring for Delosperma Congestum
- Remove deadhead to prolong flowering.
- Maintain moderate soil moisture and fertilize lightly.
Typical uses of Delosperma Congestum
Special features: This very cold hardy ice plant is a small growing variety with large, shiny yellow flowers on top of bright green succulent foliage. In bloom, Delosperma congestum is irresistible; the large, shiny yellow flowers sit right on top of the succulent foliage and have a distinct white

The Cat Empire – 'Cinema'
A guitar string snaps, a tambourine rattles and Felix Riebl sings, "This is the last time I will follow you", and so begins the fifth album of jazz-infused, Melbourne-based and nationally loved The Cat Empire. The statement of intent that is the opening duo of tracks, 'Waiting' and 'Falling', sets the touch tape alight right from the off and just like that, boom, they're back.
After ten years on the national scene the band need no introduction and all key players return along with the usual plethora of guest appearances. By this stage, each member knows his intended role inside out and whether it be Ollie McGill's frantic and infinitely catchy piano hooks on 'All Hell' and 'Call Me Home' or DJ Jumps' freestyling on 'Falling' the band transition their focus seamlessly. The choruses are still triumphant, the singing still pitch perfect, the genres mashed and the brass ensemble still the cherry on the cake.
What differentiates this Cat Empire album from previous offerings then? Well, it's the level of maturity, both of composition and lyrics. Tracks are sculpted wonderfully and seemingly effortlessly whilst the lyrics have a melancholic tinge lacking from previous albums. The new despondency ('Reasonably Fine' being the best example) helps add depth and longevity to what otherwise would be a frivolous sound and an album of repeated highs.
It would be too easy to go into detail on each track and highlight how they weave and change, peak and trough, like 'Shoulders' quite unexpected two minute outro, but this is an album best experienced by yourself. And preferably on the weekend. And loud. Words simply can't capture the overall effect, as it is again, uniquely Cat Empire. And with a dedicated following of eager kittens to impress and the weight of expectation on their bearded indie shoulders, with Cinema, they have not let us down.

Press Release: IMF Concludes Fifth and Final Review Under Stand-By Arrangement with Latvia
December 21, 2011Press Release No. 11/481
December 21, 2011
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today completed the fifth review of Latvia's performance under an economic program supported by a Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). The Board also completed the financing assurances review under the SBA. The Board decision makes available an amount equivalent to SDR 539.38 million (about € 637.6 million), but the authorities do not intend to draw this amount. The total amount disbursed under the SBA remains SDR 982.24 million (about € 1.161 billion). In completing this review, the Executive Board granted a waiver for nonobservances of the continuous performance criterion on imposing restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions
This is the final review under the Fund-supported program, which was part of a coordinated effort with the European Union, Nordic governments, the World Bank, and other bilateral creditors to assist Latvia when it was hit by the global financial crisis in 2008 (see Press Release No. 08/345). With international financial support and strong ownership of the reform program, the Latvian authorities implemented difficult measures that have pulled the country out of the crisis.
The economy is now recovering and growing strongly, with economic growth of 4.5-5 percent expected in 2011, following an output decline of more than 20 percent between 2008 and 2010. Competitiveness has improved, and the very large pre-crisis current account deficits have been corrected. The authorities maintained their long-standing peg to the euro and continue to pursue their goal of adopting the single currency in 2014. A very large fiscal consolidation effort through the program period—around 15 percentage points of GDP, the bulk implemented in 2009—has corrected a large structural fiscal deficit, and given Latvia strong prospects of meeting the Maastricht fiscal deficit criterion in 2012. The authorities have also taken a series of measures to stabilize the financial sector, but further steps to improve financial sector supervision are still needed.
Despite the welcome return to economic growth, many challenges remain. Output remains well below its pre-crisis level and Latvia's unemployment rate, while decreasing, is still high at 14.6 percent. Poverty rates remain among the highest in the European Union, making the social safety net critical.
The Latvian government's economic policy program for 2012 aims at sustaining the economic recovery in an increasingly difficult external environment, enhancing the country's ability to borrow on capital markets at affordable interest rates, and bringing Latvia closer to meeting the conditions for euro adoption, in line with its target date of January 2014.
The SBA, which was approved on December 23, 2008 for an amount equivalent to SDR 1.52 billion (about €1.71 billion), entailed exceptional access to IMF resources, amounting to 1,071 percent of Latvia's quota in the IMF (reflecting Latvia's quota increase in March 2011).
Latvia and the IMF will continue to maintain a constructive policy dialogue and, in accordance with Fund policy, initiate Post-Program Monitoring (PPM). Under PPM, members undertake more frequent formal consultation with the Fund than is the case under surveillance, with a particular focus on macroeconomic and structural policies.
Following the Board discussion, Mr. David Lipton, First Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, said:
"Latvia's strong performance under the Fund-supported program has helped overcome the crisis, facilitated a return to market financing, and contributed to economic recovery. With the program now ending, the focus should be on structural reforms to improve competitiveness, and preventing vulnerabilities from re-emerging.
"The 2012 budget, which aims for a deficit below 2.5 percent of GDP, demonstrates the authorities' commitment to fiscal discipline and to meeting the Maastricht criteria. However, alternative measures such as higher real estate tax, progressive personal income tax, and improved targeting of social benefits, might have proved less distortionary and facilitated a more sustainable adjustment. Continued high unemployment and poverty rates make it important to maintain a strong social safety net.
"Greater harmonization of the Bank of Latvia's decision making with the ECB would support the fixed exchange rate and mitigate pressures on international reserves.
"After completing the orderly sale of the commercial part of Mortgage and Land Bank, safeguards should be put in place to prevent the remaining institution from becoming a future source of fiscal and financial stability risk. Financial sector supervision should be strengthened to make sure the problems in Latvijas Krajbanka are contained.
"The problems in airBaltic demonstrate the importance of strengthening governance in state-owned enterprises. The authorities should consider all options if efforts to return the airline to profitability fail, to ensure public money is not wasted."

Medal of Honor
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. S/Sgt. Rabel distinguished himself while serving as leader of Team Delta, 74th Infantry Detachment. At 1000 hours on this date, Team Delta was in a defensive perimeter conducting reconnaissance of enemy trail networks when a member of the team detected enemy movement to the front. As S/Sgt. Rabel and a comrade prepared to clear the area, he heard an incoming grenade as it landed in the midst of the team's perimeter. With complete disregard for his life, S/Sgt. Rabel threw himself on the grenade and, covering it with his body, received the complete impact of the immediate explosion. Through his indomitable courage, complete disregard for his safety and profound concern for his fellow soldiers, S/Sgt. Rabel averted the loss of life and injury to the other members of Team Delta. By his gallantry at the cost of his life in the highest traditions of the military service, S/Sgt. Rabel has reflected great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
Ranger Hall of Fame
Staff Sergeant Laszlo Rabel is inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame for conspicuous gallantry and indomitable courage as a Ranger leader. On November 13, 1968, Sergeant Rabel was leader of Team Delta, 74th Infantry Detachment Long Range Patrol. While in a patrol base on hill 819 in the Binh Dinh Province, Republic of South Vietnam, Sergeant Rabel's Team was suddenly compromised. While preparing for a counterreconnaissance mission, a hand grenade was thrown into the perimeter. In a final act of courage, and without hesitation, Sergeant Rabel threw himself on the grenade, absorbing the full blast, thus saving his team from death or injury. Sergeant Rabel's gallant actions and disregard for his own safety earned him the Medal of Honor, posthumously. Sergeant Rabel paid the ultimate sacrifice to his nation and clearly illustrates that no matter how severe the consequences a Ranger never fails his comrades.

Midway through the 21st century the United States population could peak at 309 million and start a gradual decline to 231 million, Census Bureau experts said.
Among other possible shifts in the population composition, the bureau calculated that there would not be as many annual births in the nation as there were during the baby boom following World War II, when births hit 4 million annually. The median age, now 30.3 years, would rise sharply to 36.3 years in the year 2000 and 41.6 years by 2050. The percentage of those 65 and older will rise from 11.4 percent last year to 21.7 percent by 2050. The ratio of the working age group to the retirement age group would fall sharply from 5.4 to 1 last year to just 2.6 to 1 by 2050.

Best trellis wire gauge?

I am using 14 gauge and U Posts to hold up my tomatoes this year. 12 gauge seems like it would be over kill. I find the 14 gauge to be quite stiff and hard to work with compared to 17 gauge.
Comment by Mon Jun 25 06:45:22 2012—
RDG --- I suspect different gauges are better for different kinds of trellises. For example, grapes and kiwis might grow big branches that always stay on the same trellis, which would be a reason to use heavy duty wire. But with brambles and other fruits where you prune out canes every year, a really thin wire seems to do the trick!

Thermoelectric generators are devices which convert temperature differences into electrical energy. The principle phenomenon that underpins thermoelectric energy generation is known as the Seebeck effect: the conversion of a temperature differential into electricity at the junction of two materials.
Browse Detail Report With TOC @ http://www.researchmoz.us/thermoelectric-energy-harvesting-2014-2024-devices-applications-opportunities-report.html
Although thermoelectric phenomena have been used for heating and cooling applications quite extensively, electricity generation has only seen very limited market in niche applications and it is only in recent years that interest has increased regarding new applications of energy generation through thermoelectric harvesting.
The new applications are varied and the vertical markets benefiting from new devices range from condition monitoring in industrial environments, smart metering in energy market segments, to thermoelectric applications in vehicles, either terrestrial or other.
This report gives an overview of devices, materials and manufacturing processes, with a specific focus on emerging technologies that allow for new functionality, form factor and application in various demanding environments. Whether it is operation in high temperatures or corrosive environments, applications with increased safety demands or components that need to be thin, flexible, or even stretchable, there is a lot of research and development work worldwide which is highlighted.
Browse reports in Power @ http://www.researchmoz.us/power-market-reports-26.html
Included in the report are interviews with potential adopters of thermoelectric energy harvesters and their views of the impact that the technology could have over their respective industries. Some of the application sectors include:
- Waste heat recovery systems in vehicles: A large number of car companies, including Volkswagen, VOLVO, FORD and BMW in collaboration with NASA have been developing thermoelectric waste heat recovery systems in-house, each achieving different types of performance but all of them expecting to lead to improvements of 3-5% in fuel economy while the power generated out of these devices could potentially reach up to 1200W.
- Wireless sensor network adoption.
- Wireless sensors powered by thermogenerators in environments where temperature differentials exist would lead to avoiding issues with battery lifetime and reliability. It would also lead to the ability to move away from wired sensors, which are still the solution of choice when increased reliability of measurement is necessary.
- Some applications have low enough power demands to operate with small temperature differentials, as small as a few degrees in some cases.
- These types of developments increase adoption trends.
- Consumer applications: In these applications, the type of solution that thermogenerators provide varies:
- it could be related to saving energy when cooking by utilising thermo-powered cooking sensors, powering mobile phones, watches or other consumer electronics, even body sensing could become more widespread with sensory wristbands, clothing or athletic apparel that monitor vitals such as heart rate, body temperature, etc.

Chelsea hope goalkeeper Petr Cech can avoid surgery after suffering a torn calf against Schalke on Tuesday.
Still, after a scan yesterday Chelsea were sounding more optimistic, describing Cech's injury as a "small tear". If it is worse than that - and Cech is out for a month - then he would miss league games against Derby County and West Ham United and the Champions League tie away to Rosenborg as well as the Everton game.

I would like to investigate a few of these, starting with a game that *is* a wargame, albeit a rather simplistic one. Risk (rules available here).
|Staff and Friends of Gaming with Chuck enjoy a game of Lord of the Rings Risk
The attack is then played out in rounds, until either one side or the other is eliminated, or the attacker calls off the attack. The attacker may roll up to 3 dice, but never more than one dice per attacking army (of course, he had to leave behind at least one to garrison the territory he moved from). The defender may roll up to 2 dice, but never more dice than he has armies defending the territory. Then the dice are compared - the highest dice are compared first, then the second highest (if each side rolled at least 2).
The comparison is simple - highest roll wins, with a tied roll going to the defender. The loser in this comparison loses an army. Simple. Elegant. And, unfortunately, without a lot of room for modification. There are variants of Risk that allow re-rolls, and those that allow for additional dice (but never more than the number of armies you have to lose), and those that allow bonuses to be applied to your own dice, and minuses to be applied to your opponents dice, but that is about it. We will call this mechanism the "opposed dice roll" mechanism.
War at Sea from Avalon Hill (1975) is a multiple dice mechanism, but it is not an opposed dice mechanism. Rather, each unit in War at Sea has two combat factors - Offense and Defense. The Offense factor represents the number of dice that the unit would roll in combat against a target. Each 6 inflicts damage, and each 5 inflicts disruption. Each 6 rolled entitles the shooter to roll another d6 to see how much damage is done. The Defense factor is how many damage points a target has. Whenever a ship takes a Disruption result, at the end of the current combat round, it must return to a friendly port (at which point the Disruption marker is removed, but the ship is out of combat). All 6s are resolved before 5s, so the ship will accumulate all damage from all shooters shooting against it in a current round (to see if it is sunk) before checking to see if it is disrupted and needs to return to port. The combat is played in rounds - first the defender choosing which targets all of his shooters (which can be ships, air squadrons, or submarine) will shoot at. Prior to the first round, there is a special round of ASW where all ships that can defend against submarines get to shoot at incoming submarines. But the mechanism for rolling for, and determining hits/damage is the same.
In 1981, Frank Chadwick had a great (and to this day, still widely played) game design called "A House Divided" which also uses a chartless combat system. There were a number of follow on designs (all published by GDW) that came after A House Divided (1981), including Soldier King (1982) and Attack in the Ardennes (1982), that used slight variations of the same system. In this system, each unit has a basic combat value. When it is attacking, it rolls a dice. If the dice comes up equal to or less than the combat value, then a hit is scored on the enemy unit. The combats are played in rounds, with the defender going first each round, and units being applied evenly before doubling up, but that is it. Assign a unit, roll one dice, if it is less than your target number, you cause a hit. Each game has different units that can take 1 or more hits, so the results of being hit vary with unit type. Typically, when a unit is hit, it is reduced to a damaged state, and it's combat factor is reduced as well. Some units (such as armor units in the Attack in the Ardennes game) have modifiers that are applied to the combat factor of those shooting against them (representing either large units, or in the case of tanks, heavy armor).
|New version of A House Divided, showing Blue vs Grey on custom stands - the combat number for each unit can be seen, this is the target number for the dice throw to determine hits on the enemy.
A brief mention should be made of the wide family of Axis and Allies games (designed by Larry Harris, and first published in 1981 by Nova Games - the same year as A House Divided). Again, these are often considered "simple" wargames by the hex-and-counter crowd (and they are, comparatively speaking), but they are also based on a "single dice against a target value" as with the Frank Chadwick system. The biggest difference is in the complexity of the interaction between units and the map - there is a lot of detail and nuance in the Chadwick designs (and all the games that have come after them, there are a number from modern publishers), and the interaction between units and the map in the Axis and Allies family of games (which is very, very simple in comparison). A notable difference is that in Axis and Allies, and it's derived other titles, each unit as a target number based on whether it is on Offense or Defense. On Defense, for instance, both Infantry and Armor units are trying to roll for the same target number, but on Offense, the target number for Armor allows for twice as many kills as an Infantry unit on Offense. And so on for all the unit types.
|Combat chart for Axis and Allies showing different target numbers for offense and defense.
As a further development of the "multiple dice against a target value" mechanism, there is a whole family of games, championed primarily these days by Columbia Games, but also frequently by other companies, especially GMT. These are called, collectively, Block Games. In this mechanism, a wooden block represents a military unit, and it stands up so it's current status and parameter level is only visible to the player owning the unit (typically). When the unit gets into combat, it is laid down, as is the opposing unit(s), and both players can see the parameters. The blocks are square, and have multiple values on them, based on damage levels to the unit, and the blocks can be rotated, the current state being the values on the side facing up when it is standing and facing the owning player. These games frequently use multiple dice per unit, based on the damage state of the unit. A full strength infantry unit, for instance, may have 4 strength points - meaning it could roll 4 dice in combat. It would have a target number, which might be modified by the situation (terrain, type of attack, etc) or by the nature of the target unit. An older design that uses this variation of the "multiple dice against a target value" mechanism is Napoleon: The Waterloo Campaign, 1815, available from Columbia these days, but years ago it was available through Avalon Hill. Originally the game was out from Gamma Two, but they became Columbia.
The interesting thing that is presented with the block games version of "Multiple Dice against a Target Value" is the attrition effect on the dice thrown. And the (typically) mechanism for re-acquiring lost dice, through repair (reconstitution) of the units. The types of modifications to the dice thrown and target numbers are very similar to other types of games using this mechanism, with the additional feature of the combat attrition affecting the dice thrown. Earlier articles covered a variety of different block games and their mechanisms in Blocks of War I: Hellenes by GMT and then Blocks of War II: Wizard Kings.
The final variation on "Multiple Dice against a Target Value" is the alternative to the Block games from Richard Borg, the Command and Colors family of games. In these games, each unit has a number of dice that it rolls (that, typically, is not affected by attrition), and each type of unit determines the results of the dice - which are varied and based on special dice, with special symbols indicating hits, retreats, morale effects, and so on. The number of dice in these titles is modified by terrain, and sometimes by range, but not by the hits on the parent unit. The dice results available are modified by situation (you can case a hit on a Sword in close combat, but not in missile combat), or by target type (Red Infantry Units ignore Sword hits), or by formation (if the target unit has two adjacent friendly units, it ignores the first Flag result). So by using different symbols, for different results, a very varied, but nuanced to simulate the types of combat involved in the particular game, results. This series of games, and the dice and their results was covered in an earlier article called Blocks of War III: C and C Ancients: Part 1, the Dice of War. Since that time, Command and Colors: Napoleonics has been released. Excellent game, but I think that my favorite in the series is still torn between Memoir: 44 and Ancients.
That's it for now on chartless combat. I tried to move from Risk (a simple game, but with an opposed dice mechanism) up through a number of others, both easy and complex. I tried to end covering a wide variety of Block games and eventually the Command and Colors series.
Next week on Wargame Wednesdays, a number of reviews of some excellent games from publishers in Virginia.

1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Skiles 255
The overdamped Langevin equation is often used as a model in molecular dynamics. At low temperatures, a system evolving according to such an SDE spends most of the time near the potential minima and performs rare transitions between them. A number of methods have been developed to study the most likely transition paths. I will focus on one of them: the MaxFlux functional.The MaxFlux functional has been around for almost thirty years but not widely used because it is challenging to minimize. Its minimizer provides a path along which the reactive flux is maximal at a given finite temperature. I will show two ways to derive it in the framework of transition path theory: the lower bound approach and the geometrical approach. I will present an efficient way to minimize the MaxFlux functional numerically. I will demonstrate its application to the problem of finding the most likely transition paths in the Lennard-Jones-38 cluster between the face-centered-cubic and icosahedral structures.

As fanboys everywhere recover from news that director Guillermo Del Toro has left his production of The Hobbit due to scheduling conflicts and studio MGM's finanical crisis, GDT posted on fansite TheOneRing.net more details concerning his departure. His message post is a long one, and you can read it in its entirety here. But here is the CliffsNotes version:
"So – while the cited delays, contractual complexities or obstacles, cannot be attributed to a single event or entity – you will simply have to believe that they were of sufficient complexity and severity to lead to the current situation.
"Trust me on this, leaving [New Zealand] and the Hobbit crew is extremely painful. As stated before - a wealth of designs, animatics, boards and sculptures is left behind representing accurately my ideas for Mirkwood, Spiders, Wargs, Stone Trolls, etc., etc. and everyone (PJ, FW, PB and myself) has the same goal in mind: To try and ensure the best possible transition of the movie to a new director."
Del Toro relocated himself and his family to New Zealand in 2008, to start work on the live-action story featuring Bilbo and a return to the Shire.
The director also stresses in his post that he is not here "to provide a blow-by-blow of what happened, but to assure [the fans], as I have, that it has been the toughest situation of my life" and that he believes that the two Hobbit films will happen.
As for finding that new director? It looks like maybe - just maybe - Peter Jackson will accept the call.

1) Prevent Leaks
A common cause of leakage is a poorly fitting stoma appliance, usually cut too big which allows output to worm its way onto the peristomal skin. Make sure you measure your stoma on a regular basis, using the templates that are generally supplied with your bags (there's a size chart with holes that you can put over your stoma to measure it).
New ostomists may notice their stoma shrinks over the first few weeks of having it as the swelling from surgery reduces. Measuring regularly will help to keep the bag fitting snugly. Remember also to measure your stoma if you're putting on, or losing weight, as this can affect your stoma size too.
Sometimes the spout of the stoma is a little short, or retracts into the skin a bit, and the output drains poorly causing leaks. In such instances, it's worthwhile checking with your stoma nurse to see if a convex appliance which is curved to push your peristomal skin in, and your stoma out, is more appropriate.
2) Don't change your bag too often
Pulling off the flange & changing your bag too frequently can irritate your skin a lot. However not everyone feels comfortable changing their 1-piece bag every two or three days, so perhaps you could look into getting a 2-piece system where the backing plate and the bag is separate. The backing plate can stay on for a few days, and the bag itself can be replaced daily for freshness.
3) Don't use perfumed soaps or wipes
The peristomal skin can be quite sensitive, so use a gentle fragrance-free soap if you need to. I prefer to use warm water and the lint-free disposable dry wipes supplied by my delivery company. I reserve the fragranced wet wipes for cleaning my hands only. It's perfectly OK to shower or bathe without your appliance on. Again, I'd tend to avoid heavily perfumed shower gels and bubble baths and stick to plain water if this is your preference.
When washing, don't scrub too hard. The stoma is apt to bleeding because its blood supply is very good and close to the surface. Gently wipe and pat dry the peristomal skin before applying a new pouch.
4) Shaving
Men with hairy tummies often shave round their stoma so the appliance gets adhesion. Try not to 'dry shave' or use cheap blunt razors as this can cause a shaving rash or folliculitis which can become inflamed and sore.
Products to help sore skin
There are a great many products out there that help maintain peristomal skin health. If you have skin problems, it's best to get it looked at by a stoma nurse in the first instance as they can rule out skin problems secondary to IBD. However, the following list might give you an idea what to ask about.
Barrier cream: a skin barrier cream to use on areas that are frequently in contact with acidic body fluids. Forms a protective barrier against irritation.
Protective rings: a circular hydrocolloidal disc with a hole in the middle to fit your stoma, and goes under the bag to form an added layer of skin protection. Also swells to fill any peristomal gaps and crevices where output might creep.
Stoma paste: a protective hydrocolloidal paste that will give extra adhesion under the base plate or fill in gaps where output might creep. It can come in tubes like toothpaste, or in a more solid plasticine-like strip form where you roll it and mould it to your needs.
Stoma powder: Also used for dentures! A powder that can be sprinkled on wet, sore skin to dry it out and increase adhesion with the baseplate. Almost like stoma talc!
Skin wipes: A wipe that will dry to form a protective layer over the skin on which you can apply your bag
Orabase paste (by Convatec): A topical healing paste which can be applied to broken skin and certain peristomal skin conditions, e.g pyoderma gangrenosum to help it heal up. I use mine on a peristomal fistula and my PG when it flares up.
Medical adhesive removal spray: a convenient spray which will painlessly unstick your bag from your tummy, minimising skin irritation from a bag change. Also very useful for removal of painful adhesive dressings!
Convex appliances: curved appliance baseplates that push a flush stoma out and help to minimise leakage
These are just a few ideas. Remember your stoma nurse should be the first point of call and will be able to help you with prescriptions and appliances that match your particular skin needs.

How do i find the PLIDS if i was going to make a bot and let it generate one?
go to the video then
Firefox - Ctrl+F then enter 'plid' . Done!
else check in the html for '"plid":'
Is it that hard?
There is no plid on the mobile page, have you checked it?
i think the belief is its generated on the fly from a timestamp+random num. using the plid from the normal video page doesnt work either, or at least it didnt for me.

kinfolk honey harvest | middleburg, va | part i
I have been a fan of Kinfolk magazine since it's inception back in 2011 - the beautiful, yet simple design and photography is what initially drew me to the publication. And then they started hosting events all over the globe and I made it one of my goals to attend at least one event. Fortunately a couple weekends ago I had the opportunity to attend a honey harvest at Goodstone Inn in Middleburg, Va, hosted by the lovely Rebecca Gallop of A Daily Something. Although rain threatened to keep us from visiting the hive, it ended up being a perfect evening, albeit a little humid. I was a little apprehensive to attend an event solo, but I met so many wonderful people and had a truly enjoyable time. Now I'm making it my goal to attend a Kinfolk event any chance I get!
Obviously there was a plethora of photo ops, so I have broken this down into two posts. Part two will be following shortly...

strawberry picking in crozet
A couple weekends ago I had a strawberry picking date with my sister-in-law (and two nieces and a nephew). I have been wanting to go strawberry picking for several years now, but for some reason or another it hasn't quite panned out...until this year. Since my brother's family lives in Charlottesville, I drove out to them and from there we headed out to Chiles Orchard in Crozet, a picturesque town about 15 minutes outside of Charlottesville that sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a perfect afternoon for picking strawberries - mid-70s, no humidity and no crowds. We came home with several (I think about six) boxes full of ripe, bright red berries. I have to admit my main purpose for wanting fresh strawberries is to make freezer jam...my sister-in-law and I stayed up until 2am making numerous batches, which I will be devouring all summer!

festive ink
I've secretly always wanted a tattoo...but I have to admit that the pain and permanency of a real tattoo is a little scary. So when I saw these cute Susy Jack temporary tattoos at Trohv - I quickly snapped up the heart + arrow set. They look incredibly real, and are far less painful than the real deal...a major win in my book!

Giant Social Media Red Flag: Is Your CMO Tuned Out?
Anyone committed to driving social and digital media innovation from inside the marketing machine of a midsize to large company understands well the pressures of proving the value of your efforts. Now, two new studies provide sharp insight into the CMO mindset that must be considered when plotting a course for growth, along with your own internal online video sales pitch.
Here's the first bit of eye-popping news: According to a new survey by social business software company MindTouch, only 15 out of 143 Chief Marketing Officers and Chief Communication Officers (CCOs) in Fortune 100 companies have active Twitter accounts. Moreover, 15 percent of these executives have a net zero social footprint—in other words, they're not personally engaged with emerging social media trends at all.
While this represents a relatively small statistical sampling of the total number of CMOs today, it's nonetheless an astounding snapshot of the low social media use among top marketing leaders. And this info is especially relevant considering social media budgets—including online video—are growing at unprecedented rates. Of course that means that we're also seeing the accompanying demand to demonstrate an appropriate return for a communication concept very few actually comprehend. But more on that point later.
According to MindShare's Mark Fidelman, the message from his study appears to be "do as I say, not as I do." As Fidelman writes, "Marketers have always been taught to "go where their consumers are" and still the Fortune 100 Chiefs seem to be personally absent. The giant red flag here is that, if the Chief Marketers and Communicators do not understand how social media can be part of an integrated marketing/communications strategy, then how will the rest of the organization?"
So with that alarming study as a backdrop, now consider this February CMO survey by Bazaarvoice, the social commerce software company. According to their survey, Chief Marketing Officers are looking more closely at returns from social marketing initiatives than ever before, with 93% of marketers now planning social media campaigns in 2011, much of it incorporating video and other custom content. To that end, 81% of respondents say they intend to track how social media impacts revenue in 2011. But—and here's the kicker—most marketers are still uncertain about how they'll actually measure that impact. That means many will be deciding how to measure return without actually using the medium themselves.
Let's review: CMOs are spending more on social and digital media than ever before. CMOs intend to provide a more critical look at social media ROI. CMOs, by and large, do not use or actively engage with social media.
Does anyone else see a disconnect here?
What This Means for Your Online Video Agenda
If you are involved with creating and promoting an online video strategy, this is incredibly important data to understand. Online video is social media, and as such, is completely intertwined and interdependent upon YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other sharing platforms that together represent the most fundamental shift in marketing and communication in our lifetime. The MindShare survey especially should serve as a wake-up call for all marketers to not take anything for granted when it comes to measuring and communicating the value of your efforts to your top executives.
If you're not using social media everyday, it's likely that your understanding of the benefits of this new communication medium is of the textbook variety, gleaned from articles, conferences, and word-of-mouth from other users. But nothing can provide a sense of the true value—the real return on investment, in other words—than actually using, living and engaging with the idea yourself. For example, just ask a first-time parent where they did most of their learning. Regardless of the fact that the moms- and dads-to-be may have spent countless hours reading all the parenting guides they could get their hands on, most will tell you afterwards that the real learning and innate understanding came from the actual child-rearing experience itself, from watching, engaging and learning inside the baby bubble. Before you're actually changing the diapers, it's all just words on paper.
It's also important to understand, as Gary Vaynerchuk explains in his new book, The Thank You Economy, that the term "social media" itself has caused confusion and misconceptions in CMO circles, leading some marketing executives to believe that they can use social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to spread their message in a way similar to traditional media platforms like print, radio, outdoor, and broadcast television—and expect similar results and returns.
And why wouldn't they think that, considering they are not using the media themselves?
But "social media" is bigger than that. It's not simply another advertising lever to pull, it's a major cultural shift in how we engage, talk, and trade information. To apply old world ROI thinking to this equation is like applying an ROI equation to the telephone. It doesn't compute.
Assume The Disconnect
While you may understand that video and other social media connections are part of building trusting, one-to-one relationships, it's very possible, or likely, as the MindShare survey would seem to indicate, that your CMO has a very different view of social media than you do. As someone who engages daily and incorporates these channels in an everyday fashion, you understand their nuances and possibilities, and the benefits are internalized. But if you CMO or supervisor doesn't use it, chances are their understanding of the benefits are not inherently understood. Knowing this, it's incumbent on you to use this knowledge to your advantage.
So how can you leverage this awareness? First, do not assume that digital media story is being communicated appropriately. Provide frequent updates about success stories, and share examples of human connection as part of your ongoing updates. Pass along stores of sales and revenue gains, no matter how small they may seem. Share links from other company's success stories, along with your thoughts on how you can incorporate lessons into your own video and social media strategy. Regularly share the list of Top 20 Social CMOs of the Fortune 100 with your CMO.
Going forward, its' likely that the social and digital engagement level of top CMOs will increase, but it doesn't make sense to wait for that day. While we evolve toward that eventuality, it's your responsibility to be more aggressive, more communicative, and more specific in describing and showing the benefits of this new medium in a context that can be understood by those with a textbook understanding of this communication shift.

Established as a British Colony in 1835, Victoria was considered the leader in Australian indigenous administration—the ªrst colony to legislate for the "protection" and legal victualing of Aborigines, and the ªrst to collect statistical data on their decline and anticipated disappearance. The ofªcial record, however, excludes the data that can explain the Aborigines' stunning recovery. A painstaking investigation combining family histories; Victoria's birth, death, and marriage registrations; and census and archival records provides this information. One startling ªnding is that the surviving Aboriginal population is descended almost entirely from those who were under the protection of the colonial state.

In 1938 Alfred Wainwight undertook a long distance circular walk commencing in Settle in the Yorkshire Dales, northwards towards Hadrians Wall which took him along the Eastern side of the Pennine Chain via Keld, Tan Hill, Bowes, Middleton-in-Teesdale and Blanchland, to Hexham, where the route turned westwards along the Roman wall before returning southwards over the Pennines, returning down the western side to Settle, via Kirkby Stephen, Garsdale, Sedbergh, and Ingleton. At 244 miles (393km) long, this is a fine long distance walk in the tradition of the iconic Pennine Way.

My beautiful and courageous Poppy lost her fight with a very progressive cancer at the young age of 6.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support.
Please pray for poppy. She isn't well. Vets don't know why and she's now fitting.
Well this is a new experience for me – I love looking at other people's blogs and have taken the plunge and decided to try having one of my own. I hope you and I find it an interesting experience. The picture is of my dog and companion Poppy who goes most places that I go. At the moment she is fast asleep by my feet – snoring!

As my research is about reservoir simulation, it would be good to go over the fundamentals of the standard reservoir simulation. What is it? Why people need it? What are its key physical principles that reservoir simulation is based on? What are the uses of it? It is important to understand those basics before using it. And it is even more important to present it in a fun and simple way!
Why do we need simulation? Essentially, we want to better take control of something. A model is a replica of the reality with respect to things that you are working on. You simulate the actual practice by playing around with the model. Just like to simulate the actual horse-riding using a horse simulator, or to practice outdoor rock climbing using the artificial climbing wall in the gym! All types of movements needed in outdoor climbing can be learned at the gym. Continue reading

Project Description
RRTC, Inc. and Rutgers University are developing a new solid state approach for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, storage, and supply (CCSS) enabled by the combination of two technologies for low-energy processing of materials invented at Rutgers: (1) low-temperature solidification (LTS) for CO2 adsorption, and (2) hydrothermal vapor synthesis (HVS) for CO2 release from metal silicates. The CCSS process involves the use of a carbonation chamber to capture CO2 from flue gas and form a solid carbonate-bonded composite monolith brick (CaSiO3 [solid] + CO2 [gas] → CaCO3 [solid] + SiO2 [solid]), which can then be transported to a CO2 consumer and placed in an HVS reactor for release of CO2 (CaCO3 [solid] + SiO2 [solid] → CaSiO3 [solid] + CO2 [gas]). Once the brick is depleted of CO2 and converted back into CaSiO3, the material can be either recycled as carbonate cement or sent back to a power plant to capture more CO2. Together, the two technologies provide cyclability for capture and release of CO2, enabling transport of CO2 in solid form, which is less costly and allows more throughput than traditional storage forms such as dry ice and liquid CO2. In Phase I, RRTC will investigate the ability of CaSiO3 to capture CO2 directly from flue gas and release the CO2, as well as the ability to exhibit cyclability. The team will design and assemble a bench-scale apparatus for testing LTS carbonation with simulated flue gas. A high-level life cycle analysis will be performed to determine feasibility and costs for scale-up of the process.
Project Benefits
The CCSS process provides a low-cost, energy-efficient method for the management of captured CO2, enabling more widespread valuable use of CO2 in consumer products; reduces CO2 emissions from power plants; and makes progress toward reducing the net cost of CO2 capture to less than $10/tonne.

USA Technologies to integrate rewards with Apple Pay
USA Technologies, a provider of payment technologies for cashless and mobile transactions in self-serve retail, has announced plans to integrate its More loyalty and payroll deduction platform with Apple Pay for use at up to 300,000 machines nationwide, according to a press release.
USA Technologies said that following the integration, unattended operators will be able to offer an enhanced experience to customers using Apple Pay. In turn, consumers making a purchase will be able to take advantage of exclusive offers, promotions and discounts on future purchases at participating self-serve machines connected to the USAT ePort Connect platform.
USA Technologies plans to roll out the technology to select unattended retail locations nationwide over the coming months.
"Consumers are getting more accustomed to paying with their phones, and with all of the digital noise coming at consumers 24/7, loyalty and rewards programs that easily integrate into popular payment methods like Apple Pay are a win-win," Maeve McKenna Duska, senior vice president of sales and marketing at USA Technologies, said in a statement. "By offering More with Apple Pay we are giving consumers a loyalty program that seamlessly integrates with their lifestyle, rewarding them for using the one thing they always have on hand, their iPhone or Apple Watch.
"We expect the More integration with Apple Pay will not only fuel participation in the unattended loyalty program, but also underscore the ease, security and simplicity of Apple Pay transactions for everyday purchases like those made at vending machines, laundromats, self-serve kiosks, parking and more."
In connection with the integration of the More loyalty program with Apple Pay, USA Technologies is collaborating with Urban Airship, whose Reach platform creates virtual cards and manages loyalty program user experience design, promotions and point balances, according to the announcement.

A pilot who safely landed a small plane on the northbound Orange (57) Freeway in Pomona is probably grateful today that at least one motorist on the ground was paying attention.
An unidentified driver on the 57 alerted other motorists to make room for the descending aircraft Wednesday night by swerving back and forth across freeway lanes, according to a published report.
"That's what really stopped an accident," Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Ed Lozano told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
The pilot of the single-engine Citabria airplane, a man in his 50s, landed on the freeway just north of the San Bernardino (10) Freeway at 7:01 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. California Highway Patrol Officer Matt Lentz said the airplane took off from Long Beach, according to the Tribune.
The pilot was headed to Cable Airport in Upland when he reported engine trouble to air traffic controllers at Brackett Field in La Verne, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor told the Tribune.
The pilot decided to try a freeway landing and during his descent noticed the motorist swerving to try to stop traffic for him, Lozano said.
The surprise landing prompted the brief closure of two lanes, but there were no injuries or property damage.
When firefighters and paramedics arrived, Lozano said, the pilot had brought the plane to a stop on the side of the freeway. The incident caused traffic to back up on the northbound 57.
Authorities rolled the plane along the 57 to the San Bernardino Freeway eastbound, then pulled it off at the Fairplex Drive offramp about 9 p.m. From there, Pomona police escorted the plane to Brackett Field, said CHP Sgt. Alex Gonzalez.
The pilot, the only person in the aircraft, identified himself as John Findley of Upland, the Tribune reported. Based on the aircraft's tail number, FAA records indicated it was registered to Findley and built in 1969.

Mayor Ed Lee, pedestrian safety advocates and nearly every member of the Board of Supervisors said they intend to participate in Walk to Work Day on Friday, an event billed by its organizers as the first of its kind in the nation.
Lee said he will dust off his walking shoes for the event as part of a march between the Powell Street BART station and City Hall. At least nine of The City's 11 supervisors also are expected to participate in Walk to Work Day, which is scheduled to end with a 9:30 a.m. news conference at City Hall.
At that point, Lee is expected to release new updates on major pedestrian safety initiatives planned for San Francisco.
So far, six pedestrians have been fatally struck by vehicles this year, including 17-year-old Henren Chang, who was killed by a drunken driver while celebrating her birthday.
Walk to Work Day was organized by Walk San Francisco, a pedestrian safety organization.

Rick's blog tells it all – Bouchercon was a blast. The high point for most guests had to be the Meet the Canucks gala gathering and game show. Rick got to give away loads of great books all while raising awareness of the CWC and its members. I got to spend the night explaining why an American from New York is a member of the Crime Writers of Canada.
Now what's the sense of going to something like Bouchercon without the chance to drop names? To save time, just assume that I was rubbing – and bending – elbows with the biggest names in crime fiction. Let me tell you folks, I was chatting up a storm and I could tell by the look in their eyes and the tone of their voice that these Big Name writers were wondering who was responsible for letting me in the room.
Madison itself if a quaint little place with an impressive capital building right there in the center of town. The place is teeming with college students, each one there to remind you just how frickin' old you really are. Case in point: In a CD store I asked the fresh-faced clerk where I could find the Ramones CDs (there are rumors of an excellent bootleg concert CD floating around). The wee lad looked up, pointed to the section to his right and said, "Try Easy Listening."
I had the honor of hosting The Architecture of Murder panel discussion featuring Mary Logue, Harry Hunsicker, fellow Poisoned Pen Press author Fred Ramsay and fellow CWC member Louise Penny. I read a book or two by each of the panel members and did all this background research – it was a wonderful way to procrastinate, especially since the books were so good. I had read books by Mary, Fred and Louise first – perfect cozies and great reads, filled with warm, real people who you'd want to spend time with over a piping cup of chamomile and set in towns you'd want to move to or at least visit in autumn when the leaves are changing and there is a nip to the air. Then I read Harry's book, Still River. From the opening line I knew I was in for something different. "Vera Drinkwater had been a slut in high school, or so they had said." I switched to Old Smuggler whiskey when I read Harry and vowed that if I ever do visit Dallas, I will avoid hanging out with Hank Oswald. Good stuff – the whiskey and the book. I still haven't forgiven Dallas for embarrassing the Bill's in Superbowl XXVII.
Next year Bouchercon will be in Alaska. I gave them my registration on Saturday.

By John Lowe, Mar 11 2016 07:53AM
Phil Taylor went top of the Premier League table for a while in Nottingham last night, of course MVG was playing last ! the standard of play was quite amazing, no less than 7 players out of the 10 averaged over 100 per throw, first was Gary Anderson who beat Michael Smith 7-3 with a good all round performance, and with a game in hand Gary will fancy his chances to be in contention to retaining his title. Adrian Lewis beat Peter Wright 7-3 in a match much closer than the score-line suggests, both players averaged over 100.
James Wade beat Barney 7-5 but made hard work of it, after being 5-1 in front, he allowed Barney back in and was lucky to get the win when Barney missd 3 darts to take a point, again both players averaged over 100.
Robert Thornton lost to Phil Taylor 7-0 and to be honest played like the player bottom of the league with 1 point, Robert has been ill and is not back to any where near his best, but Taylor seems to have found some of his old form and looks to be enjoying his darts.
MVG beat Dave chisnall 7-2 and climbed back to the top of the table, be it on leg difference, his avergae of 113-47 was by far the highest of the night and his finishing average of 54% was what made that average so high, it is obvious though that the other players realise they have to play at a higher standard if they are going to stay with MVG.
Next week's P.L. is in Glasgow and the 2 players at the top of the table play each other; Mighty Michael Van Gerwen v Phil The Power Taylor, Taylor says he is looking forward to playing Michael, MVG's reply: Really !

1) Old Navy Bikini Bottoms and dELiAs top 2) La Perla, 3)Vitamin A
As many of you know I am a proud pear shape! For a long time I was under the wrong impression that boy short bikini was the best option for my body type but oh I was so wrong. The best option for us is a darker color for the bottoms and a v cut top. The v cut is going to take the attentions to your smaller upper body.
1) Miso Fril, 2)Violet Lake Caruso, 3)Aeropostal
I said it before and I'll say it again Hourglass shape is the best body time! You basically look fabulous on everything and anything. If you pick a one piece, find something that enhances your waist.
1) La Garçonne, 2)Spiegel, 3) Topshop and toast
No matter what type of swimsuit you pick, always make sure they have cup support such as underwire. Also avoid string bikinis because they would only make you bigger on the top and smaller in the bottom .
