This means e.g. that the electron and the neutrino belong to the same family of particles; the neutrino is the electron's little brother.
For example, a positively charged pion decaying to a positively charged muon and a muon neutrino is the mirror process of a negatively charged pion decaying to a negatively charged muon and a muon antineutrino.
A Non-Technical Explanation of Flavo(u)r Physics « Imaginary Potential
The neutrino is an elementary particle, which was postulated in 1930 by Wolfgang
The neutrino is an obscure particle with no electric charge and which only interacts with matter via the weak nuclear force.
The simplest model that fits all the neutrino data implies that the mass of the electron neutrino is about 100 million times smaller than the mass of the electron.
The most common particle in the universe, the neutrino, is created in huge quantities during these reactions.
A neutrino is a sub-atomic particle that interacts weakly with matter and travels at a speed that is essentially the speed of light.
The neutrino is a participant in processes involving the
The neutrino is very reluctant to react with its environment.
This splendid theory lent great credibility to the hypothesis that the neutrino is created simultaneously with the electron every time a nucleus disintegrates through beta decay.

Dallas — Somehow, it seems like a futile task to write a review about an orchestral gala concert. The actual music part, which is the primary function of a review, is only a part of the evening. So it was with the Dallas Symphony's spectacular gala on Sept. 17. The concert itself was relatively short—Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Seventh Symphony—and was framed by a lavish dinner and after party. Both the social and musical worlds of Dallas turned out, all smartly tuxed, coifed, jeweled and gowned.
Of course, for a gala, there has to be a RBN (really big name) soloist to headline. On Saturday, it was legendary violinist Pinchas Zukerman. Discovered by Isaac Stern and a student of the equally legendary Juilliard-based violin teacher Ivan Galamian, he has been at the top of the list of fine violinists ever since his 1969 debut. He is equally at home on the viola and as a conductor on the podium.
The other two requirements, considering that the goal of a gala is to raise money, is a collection of SPC (socially prominent couples) as the chairs of the dinner and party and a BNS (big name sponsor).
For this event, the chairs were Jennifer and Coly Clark co-chairing with Katherine and Key Coker. Both gentlemen head major banking concerns. There was also an honorary chair couple, the requisite politician: The Honorable Glenn and Mrs. Dara Hegar. He is an attorney who serves as the Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The Vivaldi Patron Circle Board, a DSO support group, chaired the after party with Anna-Sophia van Zweden serving as honorary chair for the festivities. The corporate sponsor was AT&T, whose name also festoons the several arts venues next to the Meyerson in the Arts District.
These chair positions are a social plum, but also a lot of work (perhaps not as much for the honorary ones). This is a huge event to plan and pull off.
The catered dinner was set up in the elegantly decorated lobby of the Meyerson Symphony Center, filled to the brim with round tables for ten. All this had to be cleared away and then re-set up for the after-party during the concert. As guests left the concert, we were greeted with waiters with a tray of sweets, very nice, and amplified rockish dance music, a little jarring.
The concert itself opened with the usual congratulatory remarks by all involved. DSO president and CEO Jonathan Martin made the all-important announcement: the gala raised more than half a million dollars in support of the DSO. It is impossible to guess what the event cost, or how that cost was covered, but the end result brought great benefit to the DSO, if only to remind the well-heeled, who may not attend another concert all year, that Dallas has a magnificent orchestra that is the pride of the city and certainly worthy of their support.
That "reminder" concert succeeded, judging by the rapturous response from the audience. The applause finally stopped, although still vigorous, when the lights came up in order to shoo the attendees out of the concert hall and into the alternate reality of the after-party.
About the concert: The orchestra was in top form, especially considering that they have been off all summer, except for an appearance in Vail, scattered hither and yon to various summer festivals. Music Director Jaap van Zweden was as intense, controlling and scowling as ever, but he no longer conducts from his shoulder. While this change in technique may have been caused by an injury, it is a marked improvement. By depending more on his elbow and wrist as a fulcrum, it keeps his previously more expansive frame limited, which adds clarity and dignity. (The maximum reach of a conductor's beat in all directions forms the "frame.")
Zuckerman's performance of Beethoven's remarkable concerto was highly personal, deeply felt, and unusual in most respects. As such, it was a memorable performance for those of us who love this work. To start with, the sound from Zuckerman's 1742 Guarnerius del Gesù violin is amazing, clear and focused without the edge of some other violins made in that magical era. Combined with his control of vibrato, especially the finger vibrato at the top of the E string, even the softest sounds sailed out to the back wall of the Meyerson while he delivered other louder passages with force without overplaying either the instrument or Beethoven's style.
On the other hand, something was going on with his bow all evening. Bow hair appeared to break easily, which happens more often in the more aggressive concerti such as those of Bartók. Further, he swiped it through the air a few times to loosen it up. It would be interesting to find out what bow he was using: perhaps it was a first outing of a new one.
When you ask violinists which concerto is the hardest to pull off, many will say the Beethoven. They complain that it is really piano music that doesn't comfortably fit the instrument. Zuckerman seems to have found a way around this. He moved quickly through the virtuoso parts, minimizing them, and lingering on the soaring melodic passages giving them more prominence by contrast. As a result, Beethoven's concerto came off as a masterpiece of lyric beauty with some impressive virtuoso passagework instead of the other way around.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is all about rhythm. Richard Wagner famously called it the apotheosis of the dance. It is also remarkable in that it doesn't have a slow movement; the slowest is still marked allegretto. This means that the symphony has four differently paced movements that stand in cooperative contrast to each other. Thus, unlike many other symphonies, the tempi of each must to fit together in order for the entire symphony to work the way the composer intended.
Under van Zweden's direction, things were fine for the first two movements, especially the second, but the last two were completely out of whack. Both were severely rushed. The last movement suffered the most, crunching the carefully written rhythmic distinctions into a blur and trivializing Beethoven's joyful romp of a finale into a frenzy.

We had a guy e-mail about an article - ok. Standard thing - the article had been cited a bunch of times on Google scholar as:
"It's us against them: The group dynamics of political terrorism". Terrorism 1987, volume 10, issue 1, pages 23-35.
We located the journal (it's merged with another) on Informaworld, but the article in that journal at that page is by the same author but is named: "Rewarding Fire with Fire – Effects of Retaliation on Terrorist Group Dynamics"
Another librarian offered that to the customer, but he wanted the one that was cited. The librarian searched, and searched, and searched... Finally, she decided to e-mail the author. The author's research assistant also thought it was weird, but agreed to look when she went to the author's other office.
So here's the deal, the title "It's us" was on a sticker covering the original "Rewarding Fire". The copies that were located were the original reprints from the journal. Somehow, when the article got scanned, the uncorrected title was added to the record. Yup.

When you are looking for a child care facility, below are a few things to keep in mind.
Before your visit:
- Decide on the needs of your family and ask the following questions:
- Do I want a child care center or a family child care home?
- How far do I want to travel to drop off and pick up my child? Should it be closer to work or closer to home?
- What are the center's or family child care home's hours of operation?
- What do the children do all day at the center or child care home?
- Do I know any families who have children attending this center or child care home?
- How much can I afford to pay?
Visiting the center or home:
- Call for an appointment with the director or home provider.
- Make sure you visit the center or home at last twice before making a decision.
- Visit at different times of the day to see what the children do in the morning, at lunch, nap time, or in the afternoon.
- In a center, the staff you see in the morning is often different from the staff you'll see in the afternoon.
- Spend time observing the classroom during free time and during organized activities.
Things to ask about:
- How long have the providers worked there?
- Do the children get to choose from a wide variety of activities and work on them at their own pace?
- What is the method of discipline used?
- How many children are being cared for by one person?
- Do children spend most of the day playing (instead of watching TV)?
- Can you visit at any time without calling first?
- How will you hear about your child's day-by talking with the provider or in writing?
- Does the center or home provide lunch and snacks or does the parent send food from home? If they provide it, is the food healthy?
- How often do the children go outside?
- How does the staff approach potty training?
- Where will my child take a nap?
- Is the caregiver with the children when they are resting or napping?
- During what hours is the center or home open?
- How much does it cost and are there any additional fees?
- Do the providers attend training? If so, on what topics and how often?
- Does the center or home sponsor parent nights and parent programs?
- What happens if my child gets sick and cannot attend?
Look for:
- A clean center or home with lots of child-made decorations at the children's height.
- A cheerful atmosphere.
- Caregivers who smile and play with the children.
- Providers who look at the children when they talk to them.
- A variety of toys and supplies that are right for your child's age.
- Caregivers who encourage children to do things for themselves.
- Caregivers who respect children and each other.
- Lots of books and story times.
- Soft areas where the children can relax.
- Patient child care providers.
- Lots of laughter.
- Children who are encouraged to be creative.
After your child begins child care:
- Talk with the caregivers often.
- Keep emergency information current.
- Know what you will do for child care if your child gets sick.
- Work together with the caregiver to meet your child's needs.
- Raise concerns with the center director or home provider as soon as they arise.

New Left Review 93, May-June 2015
Volodymyr Ishchenko
Andrew Wilson's earlier publications on Ukraine won him a reputation as a serious historian. [1] Andrew Wilson, Ukraine Crisis: What It Means for the West, Yale University Press: New Haven, CT and London 2014, £12.99, paperback 236 pp, 978 0 300 21159 7 His first books—notably Ukrainian Nationalism in the 1990s (1997), The Ukrainians (2002) and Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2005)—were distinguished by three signal features. Firstly, Wilson argued strongly that while Ukrainian nationalism was a force in the west of the country—where, bred under Austrian and Polish rule, it had mostly possessed a strong right-wing bent—it had only limited appeal in the country as a whole, due to the existence of deep regional, linguistic and ethnic historical divisions. Ukrainian 'national identity', Wilson insisted in The Ukrainians, was essentially a product of the Soviet era. Second, he made no bones about the fact that since 1990, the country had had a sorry economic and political record; the state was thoroughly colonized by oligarchy, thuggery and corruption; civil society remained very weak. It was a myth, Wilson argued, that Ukrainian political culture was more tolerant, democratic and pluralist than Russia's. Third, Wilson provided detailed analysis of the various oligarchic bosses and clans, and of their rivalries. Ukraine's Orange Revolution offered praise for the protests of 2004 and was cautiously optimistic about the Yushchenko–Timoshenko regime that emerged from them.

Jared Diamond. Collapse. (2005) Or How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed.
Diamond begins his survey of failed societies with an elegiac account of Montana, which is overcrowded, over-exploited, and will suffer some kind of ecological collapse unless the individualist values that make Montana attractive to the incomers radically change. And that's the over-arching thesis: that the values that enable societies to thrive will, sooner or later, clash with ecological (and therefore economic) reality. Then the choice is stark: adapt or die. For all societies depend on the natural systems they exploit.
These systems may change naturally (very small shifts in temperature or rainfall can make the difference between a garden and a desert). More often, they are over-exploited: the prime example of this is Easter Island. He ends his survey with a rather depressing look at the ways in which our misallocation of resources damages the ecosystems that sustain us. His prime example is mining, which we practice as if there were no long-term costs. He does see some hope here and there, in the shift towards pollution reduction in China, for example, but overall, we are still making choices based on values that made sense when resources were scarce, surplus wealth was difficult or impossible to accumulate, and ecological damage was localised and its effects on people and other life forms was limited.
Diamond's work shows that the choice is never between "the economy" and "the environment", but between values, attitudes, and desires. The fundamental issue is that humans, like any other creatures, depend on the environment. We humans have changed the Earth more thoroughly than any other organism. That has made us very successful, if you measure success by our numbers and the variety of habitats that we occupy.
But that success contains within it the seeds of our own destruction. We operate on the same imperative as all other life forms: be fruitful and multiply. If we continue to operate on the values of economic growth and profit, if we fail to understand that the standard of living is not about money, we will destroy our civilisation. If we do, will the humans who survive the inevitable population crash learn from our mistakes? The history of societies that destroyed themselves suggests that's unlikely.

As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?" Some were saying, "It is he." Others were saying, "No, but it is someone like him." He kept saying, "I am the man." But they kept asking him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight." They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know." They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see." Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And they were divided. So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened." He said, "He is a prophet." The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself." His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner." He answered, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see." They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?" Then they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from." The man answered, "Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." They answered him, "You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?" And they drove him out. Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" He answered, "And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him." Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he." He said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped him. Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind." Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not blind, are we?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, 'We see,' your sin remains. (John 9:1-41, NRSV)
I once was blind but now I see. How many of us can say this?
Those in authority ask the man born blind how he gained his sight, and after answering the same question many times he asks, "Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?" Which just makes those in authority angrier.
How many times has the truth smacked us upside the head but because it was different than what we had learned or wanted to hear we didn't believe it and had to keep asking for the answer or proof?
Jesus came to help those who would listen to hear and see the wonderfulness that is all around us. He came to teach us all how to live the love of God.
If we admit we can't see without Him, He will give us sight, but if we are trying to do it on our own we will never see.
I once was blind and know I am still blind, but thanks to Jesus I can clearly see!

New moms probably aren't suffering from low libido, so 'cures' to help low libido aren't going to work.
Every single piece of my clothing is covered in snot, spit up and drool. My two kids are sick this week which means that they neither are sleeping at night and both have diarrhea. (I'm sick too but that's irrelevant.) The last time I got four hours of straight sleep was 2007.
Throughout my day, I'm simultaneously trying to meet work deadlines and keep my toddler from clobbering my 5 month old. Doing 1001 mind numbing tiny chores that once accomplished, need to be done again the next day. Even though I'm back to my regular weight, I can barely look at myself naked in the mirror.
At night my husband and I sit at the dinner table, trying to make conversation—and sometimes we do—but mostly we're too busy accommodating the children's demand for attention. There's always someone screaming, barking (my dogs), crying, fussing, or needing to be breastfed.
Finding time to have sex, some weeks, is the act of sorting out an intricate puzzle of four people's diverse itineraries. My husband said to me this morning, "I wonder if Tiger Woods understood how difficult it is to have sex with two little kids. Maybe that's why he cheated." Nice!?!?
The thing is, this week is the norm and not the exception.
Is There a Magic Sex Pill?
It makes sense then that many new moms feel they have a low libido and search for a 'magic pill' to help get them feeling sexual and sexy. In fact, every year millions of women spend billions of dollars on spurious libido enhancement pills, creams and other unproven treatments.
If you're a new mom two things:
(1) You, most likely, aren't suffering from a low libido, rather an overload of everything else.
(2) To date there is nothing on the market that has been FDA approved that will help a woman to feel sexual. A new drug called Flibanserin shows promise, but still it hasn't been FDA approved.
After seeing bogus libido product after bogus libido product on the market, I got a press release for Zestra (*see product description below). After looking at their website I thought, "What the heck, I'll give it a go. See if it really does get my girly-parts all perky and ready for sex."
My thoughts on Zestra
Zestra was tough to review. On the plus side, the "Essential Arousal Oils" are all natural (i.e. Primrose Oil, etc.) unlike some similar products on the market. It did produce a lovely warm and tingly effect that lasted for 45 minutes. However, it didn't help to get me more in the mood; nor did it make it easier to achieve a clitoral or vaginal orgasm (as its advertising alludes).
Verdict: It's a nice product that can give your vulva a happy little 'pick-me-up' boost. And sometimes in a hectic day, that's a good thing.
My Husband's thoughts on Zestra
There really wasn't anything for him to say about the product. He apparently didn't feel the same warm, tingly sensation even though there skin to skin contact.
Lesson I learned from last week: Porn can be a fun once in a while treat…I just have to find some porn that I like…Read

And new mum Rosanna couldn't resist sharing a snap of her family too. In this sweet picture, Antony and Savannah take a snooze together. "My world right there," Rosanna tweeted. And the singer revealed that his daughter already enjoys his music "When I sing, she stops crying and is literally mesmerised by music," he told Hello! magazine.

text: Wow! This is so impressive--I've seen a lot of turkey pull apart cupcake cakes before, but never with such exquisite attention to the detail of the feathers! The ombre effect makes this cupcake cake way more impressive than any other one of seen :) I think the best way to make this cake would be to do the yellow first, when you get far enough out add the orange in so you can get a gradient look, and then add the pink! You could also fill the piping tool ready for the gradient and do it in sections :)

The Pacific Northwest offers some of the best hiking in North America. The verdant landscapes and stunning scenery that can be glimpsed by walking up trails is truly a sight to behold. Of the many hikes in the Pacific Northwest, Dog Mountain is certainly one you cannot miss out on. Located in the Columbia River Gorge just 45 minutes outside of Portland, this trail is easy to get to. Dog Mountain is also one of the more difficult hikes that are featured in the Pacific Northwest. At 7.4 miles in distance the hike does not seem that daunting, however, the 2800 ft. elevation gain is something to consider. The trails are steep but in the end the breathtaking views are well worth the effort it takes to see them.
The hike begins with a steep 100 yard slope to the bathroom. It is important to make sure you take care of any needs before taking on Dog Mountain. The hike begins as an unforgiving assortment of steep switchbacks and slopes. About a mile into the hike there is a sign that marks two directions which the trail can take: proceeding on the right trail yields the difficult route whereas going left takes you up the more difficult trail. Though the more difficult trail is shorter than the difficult trail there is no guarantee in it being less time consuming as it features steep inclines through the tree line to the summit. The trail winds up the mountain and though it does not feature views overlooking the Columbia River, it does offer a look at the verdant forest that is the Pacific Northwest. Alternatively, the difficult trail breaks through the tree line to offer beautiful glimpses at the Columbia River and its surrounding landscape. The two trails converge on a sign that tells hikers that they are nearing the top. From here it is another mile to the top. This trail breaks through the tree line and the trail comes upon hills teaming with flowers. These flowers bloom in Spring so planning the hike around the Spring months is paramount in witnessing the beauty of Dog Mountain. On this path to the summit another sign indicates that hikers are but 0.1 miles from the top. Hikers know when they reach the top as there is a large area where most hikers will stop, eat, and marvel at the view.Credit: Kyle JohnsonCredit: Kyle Johnson
Important things to bring on this hike before taking it on are: good shoes, warm clothes, plenty of water, and some snacks. Because the hike is best taken in the Spring, the chance for rain is higher than in later months. This makes the trails muddy and harder to gain traction on making the hike even more difficult for hikers with ill-suited footwear. Also, because of the inclement weather it is important to bring warm clothes. You may not need pants, a jacket, or gloves, during the hike, but at the summit where there are no trees to provide cover you are subject to cold winds and rain. You'll be relieved when you are comfortably enjoying the beautiful views and your friends are shivering and trying to keep warm. Food and water is important on any hike, but on such a challenging hike it is imperative to stay hydrated and some food will give you the energy you need to get up the steep inclines.Credit: Kyle Johnson
To get the most out of this hike I suggest taking the more difficult trail up to the summit and descend on the less difficult trail. Not only do you get to experience both routes and the scenery that both routes have to offer, but you also get the feeling of accomplishment from hiking up the grueling inclines of the more difficult trail. With anything in life, the more effort you put into something the more you will get out of it, the same is true of this hike. When you reach the summit, sweaty and tired, you will appreciate the view that much more because you worked that much harder to get to the top.

Just like OpenCart, osCommerce and Magento are awarded as 2 of the top 10 eCommerce software for online store building. Now, after developing a comparison osCommerce VS OpenCart, we have worked out a comprehensive and impartial comparison between osCommerce and Magento to help you know more about them and choose the one suiting your needs best.
Before writing this comparison, we have carefully reviewed every aspect of the 2 eCommerce solutions and read a great many verified feedbacks from the 2 applications' real users. According to our in-depth review and the real users' voice, we developed this comparison from several aspects. Proceed to the details.
Costs & Requirements
Both of the 2 programs are open-source software, so they are free for anyone to download and use. Therefore, you are able to go to their official sites download the software. However, no matter which one you choose to download, you have to choose a secure and reliable web hosting company to host your online store. Here, we suggest you to choose a web host offering SSL and SSH, because with the 2 services you are able to enhance the security of both your and your clients' data and remote management.
Although both of the 2 solutions are free to use, there are some requirements to use them. If you want to create a self-hosted online store using osCommerce, you have to choose a web hosting package including PHP 4+ and MySQL 3+, and hosting solutions coming with PHP 5+ and MySQL 5+ are highly recommended by the osCommerce.com. On the other hand, if you choose Magento, your hosting plan has to include PHP 5, MySQL 4.1.20, and the ability to override options in .htaccess files.
As for payment method, osCommerce supporpaymentts PayPal, Sage Pay and SecureBuy. With the support for PayPal, users' buyers are able to pay online securely and easily. Besides, with the other 2 payment methods, buyers are able to finish a purchase quickly and safely. As for Magento, this software allows users' customers to pay money using PayPal and credit cards, making the purchase is secure and easy.
osCommerce has been partnered with Ezako for a long time, so its users are able to use EZ Personalization to show their customers personalized recommendations and to help them find the desired products. Besides, MailBees, a partner of osCommerce, gives users the ability to use helpful tools to create personalized and automated eCommerce email marketing campaigns, increasing the visibility of users' products or services.
On the other hand, Magento offers many free tools for users to promote their services and products, among which Google Content API for Shopping, iBanners, Post Affiliate Pro Connector are free and extremely useful. Besides, they also allow online store owners to do social marketing to increase sales.
Templates & Themes
osCommerce community have uploaded 7,000+ add-ons, each of which is free for users to customize their online stores. Besides, they provide users with a large number of templates that are well designed and priced at a low price. By installing a quality template from oscTemplates, you are able to customize a special logo. What's more, if you can't find a satisfying template from oscTemplates, you can choose one from the top theme marketplaces, like ThemeForest.
As for Magento, to help their users create a professional and beautiful online store, they offer many free or paid themes, each of which is elegant and has been downloaded tens of thousands times. However, if you find these themes can't meet your needs, you are capable of choosing a satisfying one from famous theme providers, like Mojo Themes.
Having been in the industry for 14 years, osCommerce offers a high level of technical support to ensure their users have a good experience. In their forum, there are over 1.5 million articles developed by more than 270,000 community members including storeowners, service providers and developers, enabling you to find the answers of common issues. Besides, their partners with experts are able to help you resolve problems. What's more, you are able to join their live chat room to ask for help from other community members and the professional developers.
With Magento, you are able to learn how to resolve issues and optimize your online store by reading the guides and tips, joining the webinars, browsing the eCommerce forums, and referring to eCommerce resource library. Besides, to ensure users can enjoy a good experience, Magento Expert Consulting Group offers the best analysis of your eCommerce site's performance and advice and gives you useful suggestions. Moreover, Magento partners are ready to help you plan, build and optimize your online channel.
From the aspect-to-aspect comparison above, we are able to get a conclusion that both osCommerce and Magento are good eCommerce software, each of which provides many useful tools, elegant designs, and quality technical support. However, to be specific, osCommerce does a better job in technical support while its competitor does better in marketing. Therefore, we suggest people who are running a big online store to choose Magento, and those who have little hosting knowledge to stay with osCommerce.
After reviewing many eCommerce hosting, we have found the best osCommerce hosting and the best Magento hosting. To offer you more choices, we list the following web hosts, each of which provides extremely good eCommerce hosting suitable for both osCommerce users and Magento users.

Dear Editor:
Another dry summer has passed. It appears that there will be no end to the increasing water demands of the Front Range cities. Water diversions from the Colorado River drainages are already limiting the viability of agriculture on the Western Slope. Energy companies also require water for their drilling operations, and they are an important year-round contributor to the local economy. Further limitations seem to be coming as the USFS wants to get water rights from the ski industry. Continuation of past diversion practices would convert the Grand Valley area from productive agricultural lands back into desert, destroy its economic base, and leave us with a seasonal economy of bed-and-breakfast operations. It would be a great leap backward.
What can be done to preserve agricultural operations, maintain the flourishing wildlife in the valleys, and supply the needs of a slowly-growing population with its own energy and food needs? These are a necessary support for the recreational and hunting opportunities that Colorado is known for. Some irrigation is being piped, and drip irrigation is coming to vineyards and orchards, but the expense of miles of pipe and tubing is something that can only be borne at a gradual rate when crops have been good.
Colorado as a whole has an outflow problem. Treaty obligations to Mexico require delivery of a fixed amount of water with agriculturally usable salinity levels at the border. A compact with Kansas specifies that certain flows will leave at the eastern border. The Ogalalla aquifer in the eastern plains is dropping.
Transmountain diversions are expensive to construct and operate, even after acquiring the water rights. There is a larger water resource that can be tapped, with easier construction conditions, which drains a much larger area of mountain watersheds. At the northeastern corner of Nebraska, on the Missouri River, is a flood-control reservoir some 60 miles long called Lake Francis Case. It is about 400 miles from Denver. It could bring more water than a couple of costly transmountain projects. If brought to the Front Range, it would not disappear; it would add to the flow of the North Platte and help recharge the Ogalalla. It would stabilize the Colorado River flows to Mexico by ending future diversions.
This would seem to require an interstate compact with Nebraska, and some studies by the Army Corps of Engineers which seems to be in charge of most water projects. It seems that the regulatory environment will become less of a roadblock in the near future. Endangered species should not be a problem, since anything living or growing on that 400-mile route would also be found on the adjoining hundreds of square miles. Pipeline companies would have plenty of practice after the Keystone project, and steel industry employees would also benefit. It might help if you send a copy of this to the Denver Water Board.

Alternating Pressure Cushions & Mattresses!
No air, gel or foam can match The Best Seat for comfort because they are NOT active. They do not move under you like The Best Seat Ever. Passive cushions do not spread the pressure equally. They cannot relieve pressure completely for three minutes like The Best Seat and they cannot protect and comfort you like The Best Seat.
The Best Seat Story
People have been dealing with uncomfortable seating, ever since they learned to sit down. The very act of sitting in even the most comfortable chair puts pressure on soft tissue in your buttocks and thighs that severely compromises blood circulation in your buttocks and legs. This leads to discomfort and swelling for an airline passenger or someone like a long haul truck driver who sits for hours while driving.
Truck drivers as a career vocation, have the highest incidence of below the waist, circulation problems leading to Deep Vein Thrombosis (D.V.T.) varicose veins, restless leg syndrome.
Anyone who sits for long periods of time while working or relaxing, such as office workers, data entry people, airline pilots, and older people who simply sit a lot, wonder how they ever got along without their "Best Seats".
Our patented Computer Controlled Pressure Management (CCPM) causes the cushion under you to change it's shape and the support pressure on your buttocks and thighs every 3 minutes, to assure that all the soft tissues are getting re-supplied with fresh blood in a timely fashion, making you far more comfortable, while removing the poor circulation that is the root cause of pressure sores, D.V.T., swollen feet and ankles, as well.

Lifestyles vary throughout the world, few healthful, most are unhealthful. For some, life is too busy, and accepting change is too difficult. Most would conclude that reducing one's lifestyle is unacceptable. On the contrary, one does not have to reduce one's lifestyle one iota to be healthful and productive.
As we grow older, our view of a fast pace lifestyle makes us think that we're out of the loop, and that we are not hip to the ever changing pop culture. This kind of thinking fester ill-will things such as resentment, anti-social behavior, hatred, etc, and this produces an unhealthy environment for both body and consciousness.
It is one thing to acquire tastes, attitudes, habits, moral standards, etc, that our parents/guardians have taught us, yet another to subject ourselves to a more heinous subtle suggestion that somehow in later life we are failures in a society that demands so much of us.
Our lifestyle changes over time mainly through how we perceive and evaluate things that makes the world go around. So what is it exactly that makes us perceive and evaluate things differently? It's how we think! We are what we think. We do what we think. We feel what we think. We smell what we think. In short, it's our five senses that dictate what life is all about.
So how do any of our five senses dictate our attitude, habits, moral standards, etc? When conceived, our five senses are already aware of many things. When we grow, we learn many other things, and all are enhanced through the continued use of our five senses. By the time we reach a certain age, we are what we think, and this is a result of what we've been taught. If our parents, or guardian, have not done their job, then we are not going to do our job in the next generation, and the beat goes on.
It is never too late to change for the better, and that's a fact. When we can sit ourselves down and ponder our lifelong experiences; what we've done, what we've become, how it affected other lives, what we have learned from our mistakes, etc, more importantly, if we have the ability to reason, to logically understand the difference between good and bad then we can conclude what it is we must do to turn our life around. It's not that difficult. If there is any difficulty in understanding the ability to reason, to understand logic, then the problem lies in wanting the want. If we want something bad enough then we can achieve it. One must want the want if one is to overcome the inequalities of life.
If we are unhealthy it's because of how we view ourselves and life itself. It all begins with how we think. We are what we think, pure and simple. If we think we have a disease that can do us harm, then so be it! If we think the opposite, then we shall have the results we want. So, what is the opposite? The opposite is the positive, which is constructive thinking, the negative is destructive thinking. So what is constructive thinking? What does it involve? Constructive involvement is anything that has to do with good such as helping people, being charitable, never criticizing, always saying good things about people, our friends, siblings, etc.
One does not have to reduce one's lifestyle to achieve the results one wants. Indeed, we lose nothing but gain a completely different perspective on life, and all we have to do is change our way of thinking.

Ultimate Theo?
I just saved over a large Word file by accident with an empty document. I do have a printout of it, but I would LOVE to get it back without having to type it all in again.
Is there any way to retrieve the lost file, or should I have a go at the dodgy character recognition scanning?
Are you at work?
It'll be on the server and they have back up tapes. Unless you saved it to your desktop or my documents, then you're fucked.
it must be possible to recover
as it won't have been written over yet, all the bits and bytes will still be there, just not officially.
I'm at home.
No server.
Scan it in on an OCR scanner, it should convert it back into text. BOOM!!!
Yeah, that's option 2
It was heavily formatted though and character recognition is dodgy... I'd prefer to recover the files if possible... wut are scratch files? word saves files when it crashes... maybe they're kept somewhere...
They're kept
with the document, but are deleted when you save. Have you tried pressing undo?
yeah. you can't undo a save.
What version of word are you using
I believe you can keep doing Undo beyond a save point in the more recent versions...
Well modern Word has a pretty much infinite 'undo' I think, even past a save option, but otherwise OCR will be your only likely option.
If you still have it all open you could go and look for the temporary file it's created (make sure you can see Hidden/System files in Explorer..oh wait, this is an Apple so I don't know hoe to do that) which should be in the same directory starting with _$ or similar. Save a copy of that and maybe it'll have the info. Unlikely though.
Ah, I found the scratch files
and Autorecovery files. No luck. Undo doesn't work.
Bollocks. Oh well. Scanning, here we go.
I just KNOW i'm gonna end up typing this in again.
try scanning
character recognition is normally quite good so long as there aren't tables or things like that. Or fax/mail the scan to a whizzy typist who can type it up quick for you

Touring UK
Jeremy Deller has created a life-size bouncy castle version of Stonehedge, entitled Sacrilege that will be touring the UK this summer as a part of the London 2012 Festival and the Mayor of London Surprises Program.
Deller, the winner of the 2004 turner prize, may have taken inspiration for Sacrilege from author Julian Barnes' novel England England, in which 20th century English culture is distilled into a theme park version on the Isle of Wight. Regardless of Deller's inspiration, Barnes' book is worth a read this summer leading up to the Olympic Opening Ceremony.
You can check out when Deller's Stongehedge is in a town near you at http://sacrilege2012.co.uk/

Written by Donald Royer
Chantal Petitclerc was born on December 15, 1969 in Saint-Marc-des-Carrières, Québec. In 1983, at the age of 13, she lost the use of both her legs after an accident at a friend's farm, in which a heavy barn door fell on her, fracturing her spine.
She was introduced to sport in high school when her physical education teacher convinced her to try swimming during her lunchbreak because she was unable to participate in her physical education class. Her teacher regularly spent his lunch hour teaching Chantal how to swim over the next four years, in order to help develop her physical strength and resistance. Swimming ultimately helped her to discover her competitive drive – something she hadn't realized that she had before her accident.
In 1987, when she was 18 years old, Chantal met Pierre Pomerleau, a trainer for wheelchair athletes at Université Laval in Quebec City, who introduced her to wheelchair sports. Using a homemade wheelchair, Chantal competed in her first club race. Despite finishing last in the race, she had fallen in love with wheelchair racing, and the best was only yet to come.
Chantal went on to study social sciences at the CEGEP de Sainte-Foy, followed by History at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. It was at the University of Alberta where she first started training with Peter Eriksson, who remains her coach and friend to this day. Eriksson helped Chantal become a stronger wheelchair racer mentally, and as a result, she became one of the strongest wheelchair racers in the world.
Chantal defines herself as a high-level athlete, not as a person with a disability. Her determination and desire to win sets her apart from many, especially her opponents.
A track record that speaks for itself, Chantal took part in her first Paralympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 and won two bronze medals – in the women's 200m and the women's 800m. At the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games, Chantal set a world record in the 100m race with a time of 16.70 seconds, as well as winning the 200m event with a time of 29.41 seconds. She also won silver medals in the 400m, 800m, and 1,500m. She then went on to compete in the Sydney, Athens, and Beijing Paralympic Games.
Chantal competing at the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta, USA
At the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, Chantal won a total of five gold medals in the women's 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1,500m. While there, she also set world records in the women's 200m with a time of 27.52 seconds, and the 800m with a time of 1.45.19 minutes. These two wins were particularly impressive, as the two events were held within a span of only 90 minutes.
Chantal has accumulated a multitude of well-deserved prestigious honors, including:
In 2008, Chantal became the second wheelchair athlete – with Rick Hansen being the first – to win the Lou Marsh trophy for Canadian Athlete of the Year
Also in 2008, she was named Canadian Women's Athlete of the Year

Reporter Falls Completely Out of The Video Frame During a Live Broadcast [VIDEO]
I'm a klutz, so when I see someone else being a bit of a klutz I love it! Maybe that's why slapstick is so funny to me! Here's a video of a reporter for Sky News being...well, a klutz!
Reporter Nick Collins was broadcasting a live segment from Wembley Stadium in London. In the middle of the report he looses his footing and fall out of the video frame! It looks and sounds like he topples over a tin bucket he might have been standing on? Too funny!
They break away back to the studio. No worries though, Nick is okay! He was back on air just a few minutes later.

Ok. Hot topic. Many opinions about this:
Sex in dormitories. You ever done it? Does it bother you when people are having sex in the bed next to you?
Im a bit embarrased, but i have to admit i do it every now and then when travelling. Its not the ideal place for sex, but when you meet a cute girl and you got nowhere else to go... what do you do?
Took some months of travelling before i got comfortable enough to do it, and in the beginning i found it weird trying to sleep with people screwing in the bed over you. Now it really dont bother me anymore, it's a part of staying in lively hostels. Any good stories to share? I only got one with an irish guy. He was so drunk that he fell from the top of a bunk bed while having sex, the fall didnt wake him up and he fell aslep naked on the floor. The best part was that the girl didnt know what to do and just laid there blushing. The guy woke up the next morning, the girl was gone and he had no idea how he got there. We had pictures to show though. He wasnt proud.
And oh. i never met a girl that could admit having had sex in a dormitory. Anyone here that can admit it?
To my defense i have to add that i wouldnt do it in a more "serious" hostel where people are getting up early.
And please dont hate me. Im normally a nice guy.

Hero Lab for iPad – Latest News
As we announced last month, we've been working on a major update for Hero Lab for iPad. Besides its current character sheet capabilities, the app will allow users with a Hero Lab license for Pathfinder to create and advance characters just like they do on the desktop! You'll be able to create new heroes, make changes to existing characters, and still use the app during play just like you can now!
We don't yet have a release date for this new update, but we dragged Colen, Lead Developer for Hero Lab, away from his computer long enough to get the latest news:
Greetings, fellow iPad users! We've spent the last month making good headway on this project, most of it porting features from Hero Lab on the desktop that hadn't been added to the iPad yet. Until now you've been unable to change hero settings (choosing sourcebooks, toggling optional rules, etc) on the iPad – obviously that's required for people who're creating characters! We've also added support for creating, duplicating, and deleting heroes within a portfolio, something you might want to do if you're experimenting with different "builds" of a character.
The iPad doesn't provide standard behaviors for renaming and duplicating files (like Windows and OS X do), so we've been busy implementing those ourselves. We're adding a "Manage Portfolios" button on the portfolio list screen to let you make those changes by tapping on a portfolio, as you can see here:
We still have a long list of tasks to do before Hero Lab for iPad is ready to create Pathfinder characters, but we're making progress and hoping to have more news for everyone soon!

Mutants & Masterminds: Power Profiles
Mutants & Masterminds is the go-to RPG to create and play your own superheroes and villains, and soon M&M fans will have even more tools at their disposal. We're excited to share that the "Power Profiles" supplement is planned to release next month for Mutants & Masterminds within Hero Lab!
Power Profiles will include over 800 pre-built, customizable powers, with concepts ranging from Air and Armor to Water and Weather, along with new power options, extras, flaws and variants, allowing you to modify the basic effects from the Hero's Handbook in new and exciting ways.
Only one more month until these options are available in Hero Lab for your game. Look for "Power Profiles" later in June for only $9.99!

This Month's Pathfinder Updates & Final "Secrets of Adventuring"
Who is Pharaoh Hakotep, and why does the cult want to revive him? These are the questions you and your party must answer. Unfortunately, you must travel to Tephu to find the answers, and many don't want you to succeed. Even if you find them, dangers lurk in the desert beyond your wildest dreams!
This update for Pathfinder will prepare your players for the trip to Tephu and beyond in the latest Adventure Path, "Shifting Sands". We'll be adding all the player content from this Adventure Path into Hero Lab as a part of this month's free update, available soon!
The Harrow Deck has a long history, shrouded in mystery and ancient symbolism. It's been said that that Harrow Deck can perform magic, divine the future, and even change destinies. Soon you can unlock the secrets of the Harrow Deck in the "Harrow Handbook", with new archetypes, feats, spells and more! This new book will join "Undead Slayer's Handbook" and "Alchemy Manual" in Player Companion #15, available soon for only $4.99!
We're excited to share that part of "Inner Sea Combat" will be available in Campaign Setting #11. Take advantage of over a dozen new archetypes, like the Gun Scavenger or Shoanti Burn Rider when battling ruffians along the Inner Sea region! Please note that this package will only include the archetypes from Inner Sea Combat – we wanted to let you get your hands on them as soon as possible, and the rest of the book will be added as a free update to the package within the next month. Grab "Inner Sea Combat" in Campaign Setting #11 soon for only $4.99! As always, you can add new packages to your Hero Lab license by going to the License menu within the product and choosing "Purchase Data Package".
Looking for "Occult Mysteries", the new Pathfinder Campaign Setting book? This book will release as a part of the June Pathfinder release next month. The Hero Lab team had a lot on their plates with the huge amount of content in last month's "Inner Sea Combat" book, so we've had to delay the release of Occult Mysteries until June. Sorry for the delay, and we should be back on track next month!
You'll find several enhancements and bug fixes in this month's update as usual. You will be able to find a full list of the changes on our forums after the update is released.
Finally, we announced in February that Rite Publishing had partnered with Hero Lab to release Chapters 1-6 of "The Secrets of Adventuring". During March we added Chapter 7 and 8, and we're excited to announce that Chapter 9 will soon be available! "The Secrets of Adventuring" provides you with new choices for your characters, from character options, to classes, and archetypes. This new chapter will join the rest of "The Secrets of Adventuring", available soon for only $14.99!

Yesterday went like this:
J got home from work (flying to Dubai – or was it Abu Dhabi? and back) around 8:00am. I had my driver (he's not MY driver per se, but the one I always call – "Driver Boss" for the purpose of this blog) take me 30 miles north of the city for my second interview at an international school. I have been toying with the idea of working full time here instead of just part time. The interview went well, and this particular school is quite nice and seems to be very Western.
After my interview, I had Driver Boss stop at Subway. I ran in and ordered 3 sandwiches: 1 for me, 1 for J, and 1 for Driver Boss, who had waited in the car an hour while I was at the school. While the Filipino man behind the counter prepared our sandwiches, an old Qatari man came in and waited behind me. The Dhuhr call to prayer (around noon) came on over the restaurant speakers and could be heard from area mosques. The local man cheerfully whistled along with the whole thing, then ordered his sandwich. I have never heard anyone, let alone one of the locals, whistle along with the call to prayer! It was pretty cute.
I love hearing D Boss describe India, so a portion of the drive back we talked about his home in Kerala – the nature, the houseboats. Most of his family still live there, including his mother, wife and daughter. He doesn't know when he will move back to Kerala, and says it's not too bad being here because he gets to go back to his family every 3 months. His older brother, an equally kind, soft spoken gentleman, lives with him here in The Country and drives one of the fleet's five cars. Even so, D Boss preferred Dubai, where he lived and worked for 12 years, enjoying more freedom and luxuries than there are here.
We talked about religion, one of my favorite topics with D Boss and his drivers. He told me how his mother traveled all the way from Kerala to Mecca for The Hajj, and that he hopes to do the same one day. I asked him why men and women don't pray in the same area at a mosque, or masjid. Women pray in a separate room from men. He explained how the men line up so close to each other while praying, that their arms actually touch. He went on to say it would not be right for him and someone else's wife to touch while praying. Regardless of my own beliefs, I understood.
In preparation for Halloween, we broke out the Shuns and got to work on the Lebanese pumpkins we acquired the night before.
Amazingly enough, the pumpkins were the only things to get sliced (I keep a few bandaids under the Shun knife block just to be safe).
We both walked away from our glorious jack-o-lanterns with all fingers, toes, and everything in between 100% intact.
Trying to get the Cheese monster to pose for a picture with our jack-o-lanterns reminded me of Mixy's old pumpkin head "costume." Mixy is my cat who is temporarily residing with my parents back in KC. Mixy wore that pumpkin head and she wore it well, although I can't find the pictures now. Anyway, I brought Mixy's pumpkin head "costume" all the way back to Qatari from Kansas City. Here is Cheese Louise in all her pumpkin head glory:
After royally pissing off Cheese, J and I headed to a gourmet cafe for some camel chocolate.
That's right, "the first and finest camel milk chocolate."
Although cheese is my downfall, I opt for organic soy or almond milk instead of cow milk when eating cereal. I really try my hardest to avoid leather products, and of course I don't eat meat. The thought of camel milk chocolate was pretty disturbing
at first. I wanted to try it, because 1. I love trying new things, 2. when else will this kind of "crazy" opportunity present itself?!, and 3. I suspect camels are treated pretty damn fabulously compared to American dairy cows. Does that mean I was up for trying the $24 camel burger on the menu? Eh, no.
So, what was the verdict in the trial of the camel chocolate? According to J, who absolutely did not want to try the stuff, "It was good! It was better than I thought it would be." Indeed, it was a very smooth, very creamy, very delicious milk chocolate.
Even so, I don't think I'd eat it knowingly again, as I couldn't get the image of a camel being milked out of my head…
…especially not after watching Mike Rowe milk a camel at San Diego's Oasis Camel Dairy!
What do you think – would you eat camel chocolate?
