Print a filtered list of the groupwise calendar
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip

Posted: 17 Apr 2003
Problem: Printing a filtered list of the GroupWise calendar.
Create a new subfolder, Copy and paste items from the main calendar view in groupwise. Print the subfolder.
Example: After you have moved the items from the calendar to the subfolder, you have to ensure that you don't delete relevant calendar items. Therefore, to keep things in their proper place, I would use the ctrl key when you click and drag items from the calendar. This will allow the user to delete the items from the folder when finished without removing the items from the calendar.

Earlier this year the family run firm secured a 'Go Global' grant from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) to help with their global marketing ambitions.
The money enabled the company to visit traditional instrument resellers in Ireland and host workshops at the Jim Dowling Traditional Piping festival, one of the highlights on Ireland's festival map. BBL also hosted workshops at the New Hampshire Scot Loon Mountain Highlands Games in America.
So far, as a result, they have picked up orders from buyers in America, Canada, Germany and Spain, and expanding networks in Australia and New Zealand.
In 2018 the company will be attending festivals in Brittany, Germany and Cape Bretton.
BBL designs and manufactures Scottish Smallpipes, Border Pipes, Highland Bagpipes and Piping accessories. Materials include African blackwood and titanium, and manufacturing uses modern precision engineering technology. It is the first new Scottish bagpipe maker in 10 years and one of only two companies in the world that make all three kinds of Scottish bagpipes.
Commenting on the overseas visits, BBL director, Scott Burgess Hay, said:
"It's been a real profile boost for the company. There's been a marked increase in our followers on both Facebook and Twitter, especially from people in the USA. We have also seen increased website traffic, again notably from people in the USA, and have every reason to anticipate some of this translating into further sales.
"Thanks to Scottish Development International who introduced us to a Global Scot in the USA, and the HIE Creative Industries team who provided other useful contacts, we are also expanding our marketing networks."
BBL became a client of HIE last year and the organisation has been helping the company with its growth plans, including funding towards plant and equipment and to attend trade fares.
Keira Orme, HIE business development account manager, said: "
"Burgess Bagpipes is an ambitious young company with bright new ideas for a traditional marketplace that stretches across the world. It's great that the overseas visits are paying off for the company and we look forward to continuing to work with them and helping them achieve their international ambitions."

Chelsea have entered the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur target Paulinho, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Corinthians midfielder is set to keep the north London club sweating until after the Confederations Cup, even though Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to have already agreed a £15million fee with the Brazilian outfit.
Andre Villas-Boas is keen to bring the 24-year-old to White Hart Lane this summer, but now faces competition from his former employers Chelsea, for Paulinho's signature.
"There is an official offer from Tottenham to Corinthians," confirmed the Brazil international after Saturday's 4-2 victory over Italy. "But, as I did when there was an Inter Milan offer, I'll sit and decide with my family before I make any decision.
"I will only do it after the Confederations Cup because it's hard to deal with all these things."
Despite Chelsea's emerging interest, with Jose Mourinho preparing to lure Paulinho to Stamford Bridge, Tottenham remain favourites to sign Paulinho, after Corinthians director of football, Edu, confirmed that negotiations are at an advanced stage.
"The situation is well underway. We have to agree on some details of the negotiation, so I can't say he will leave yet, but the negotiations are good."
Either way, Paulinho looks set to seal a switch to the Premier League - be it to Tottenham or Chelsea - following in the footsteps of his international team-mate Oscar, who moved to west London to join the Blues last summer.

v4.0.6 is not the final version as I want it to be, but it is a start.
If you are interested in the progress so far or even in helping me test v4.x, please read on...
Release Notesv4.0.6 is based on v113.010.1508 and comes with ~565-570MB free space on C:\.
You can take a look at the detailed change log so far here.
This is not the final version yet. But should be on par with the .1507-based "The One Reloaded v3.4.0".
A few new mods are already added and some old ones were updated. But other than that it is pretty much what v3.4.0 already is.
This is a first step into the direction of the final version, which will be v4.1.0.
Before I start adding new mods, updates, etc., we need a stable base. I hope some of you can help me test v4.0.6 to confirm we are on the right way ;)
It may be not the version I have in mind for a final release, but nevertheless, it should be fast, stable and hopefully bug free!
Updates for final VersionThese mods will be included in the future v4.1.0:
- OTA updates
- new widgets
- 3G fix
- email and calendar
- compatibilityfix
- messaging
- camera and gallery
- sms
- call
- wlan
- gallery plug ins (youtube/twitter)
- vpn
- public transport
- Nokia Big Screen
- new Mods/Apps
- black background for keyboard
- Nokia Store v3.30.18
- SIP VoIP Settings v3.1
Reports and RequestsReports
If you want to help me test v4.x, please make sure you clean up E:\ and F:\ and use refurbish for flashing. Also important, do not restore "Applications and Settings" from your backups.
This is the only way to make sure, bugs are not related to your previous firmware version!
Of course you are allowed to flash however you want, but if you intend to report any bugs, please mention how you flashed, if you did it differently than mentioned above.
As long as v4.x is in progress, it is your chance to request new mods and features.
If you have any suggestions (other than the things I already mentioned above), let me know!
Time lineI have to send my 808 in for repair at the Nokia Care Center.
Don't worry, its not my CFW that broke my phone :)
The proximity sensors, responsible for turning off the display during calls, doesn't work anymore (it is broken for a while now).
Since my brother broke his Nokia X7 once again, I can save some shipping costs and send both phones in together...
So now you guys have some time to test v4.0.6, I may release some small critical fixes if necessary, but other than that, the final version won't come 'till my phone is back.
For the german users, you can download the german input (keyboard) here:
german input for "The One Reloaded v4.0.6"
Just replace the ROFS3 from the original package and flash as usual ;)

This morning, Liz woke up, tapped the bookmarked link on her iPhone, and then tapped "Click Mr. Coffee ON Button." A few minutes later, she went downstairs and was greeted with a fresh, hot pot of coffee :)
The circuit for Mr. Coffee ended up being different from what I'd planned when I got everything assembled for a final test: switching on power to the unit did not start the brewing; it needed to have the "ON" button pressed! So instead of switching power on with a relay, I soldered wires to the "ON" button's sides and ran them to the same relay. I edited the sketch in ten minutes to close the relay for a half second, uploaded it, and it worked perfectly.

Kim Ki-hoon has risen to stardom of a sort that exists in few places outside South Korea. As the country's highest-earning celebrity English teacher, he estimates he made about $4 million last year from his online language lessons – and then there is the income from his educational publishing company, which turned over about $10 million.
The star tutor says about 1.5 million South Koreans have taken his classes in the past 12 years. He attributes his success to his engaging teaching style and clever marketing: he selects his television appearances carefully, and made a pop song aimed at nervous university candidates with a chorus urging "Trust me!".
Mr Kim's earnings are a fraction of the estimated $20 billion spent annually on private tuition in South Korea. Yet he, like others in the industry, expresses unease at the scale of the system that paid for his Porsche. "There should be no need for private education," he says.
Read MoreAsian countries dominate global education ranking
The fierce debate in South Korea over the national education system – in particular, the huge industry of private crammers (hagwons) and online study providers – might surprise its foreign admirers. Figures such as US President Barack Obama and Michael Gove, UK education secretary, have hailed South Korean education as a model, pointing to its children's impressive showing in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development tests of maths, literacy and science.
Within South Korea, however, there is growing unease at the side-effects of the massive use of private education. For a start, many children study from early until late after the end of the regular school day, leaving little time for play or relaxation.
Last year, a study of children in the wealthy Seoul district of Seocho-gu found that almost one in seven suffered from curvature of the spine, more than double the rate 10 years before. At least three quarters of Seoul's high-school pupils are myopic, and physicians are spotting more and more youngsters with "turtleneck syndrome", in which the child's head hunches forward anxiously.
Read MoreNo respite in sight for South Korean exporters
Then there is the economic impact: private education costs account for about 12 per cent of total household expenditure and are widely blamed for depressing South Korea's birth rate, one of the lowest in the world.
Successive governments have tried to rein in the thousands of hagwons. They are now banned from operating after 10pm, and special inspectors can raid any suspected of breaking the rule. Hourly tuition rates have been capped and, most recently, hagwons were banned from teaching material ahead of it being studied in school.
The new rules are anathema to Min Seong-won, the country's most famous education consultant, who says: "South Korea's education system is becoming like a socialist system."
Read MoreA safe bet for turning a college degree into a job
Mr Min operates a hagwon, and dispenses advice on education planning through television appearances and a string of popular books. His unique offering is the "road map" – a bespoke service that includes him devising a detailed plan for getting a child into college years in advance.
After reforms to the admission process, universities can assess applicants on a range of factors from school grades, entrance exams, English tests and extracurricular pursuits. But the constantly changing system has bewildered parents. "There are 3,000 ways to get into Seoul National University," says Mr Min, wielding a dense book of statistics to prove it.
He points to the country's showing in the OECD's Pisa tests as evidence of the education system's strength. In the 2012 tests, taken by 15-year-olds in 64 territories, South Korea came fifth in maths and literacy, and seventh in science. Yet the same test put South Korean children 62nd in confidence in solving complex tasks, and last for happiness at school.
Read MoreBank of Korea holds rates for 13th straight month
Lee Ju-ho, education minister from 2010-2013, believes this indicates the impact of excessive study on mental health, creativity and teamwork skills, and the need to "combat the private tutoring business". If South Korea is to flourish, he says it must address the problem of "high expenditure on education that is not leading to an increase in human capital".
He points in particular to private English tuition, where spending is equivalent to 0.6 per cent of gross domestic product, but where the results fail to match this multi-billion-dollar outlay and confident speakers of English are rare.
Many, including the hagwon teachers, blame the means used to assess English aptitude, which are overwhelmingly multiple choice comprehension exams, such as the Test of English for International Communication administered by the US-based group ETS.
Read MoreKorea andTaiwan not developed enough for MSCI
Yoo Su-yeon's success in preparing students for the TOEIC test has made her a TV celebrity who earns $1.5 million a year teaching. But for Ms Yoo, the TOEIC syllabus is "not helpful" for a good understanding of English. "It's not really an English test – it's a way of identifying who has basic ability, and who wants to learn in their new job," she says at her hagwon, U-Star, which employs 40 or so teachers. "Companies choose TOEIC because it's about following instructions."
Many South Koreans are intensely proud of the role education has played in the economic growth of a country that in 1945 was among the world's poorest, with a literacy rate of 22 per cent. While acknowledging the system's shortfalls, some business leaders say it does a good job of providing skilled workers for cutting-edge industries. "I think we can do better," says Sirgoo Lee, chief executive of Kakao, the mobile chat app company. "But this really strong interest in education, and this very fierce competition in education, creates a top-notch, very highly talented pool of young folks."

Aug. 17 — Contentious updates to a Medicare final nursing home rule involving arbitration clauses are under review by the White House.
Under the proposed rule, if a nursing home includes binding, or pre-dispute, arbitration agreements in their admission contracts, the facility must explain the agreements and the residents must acknowledge they understand them.
Litigators and some consumer advocacy groups have argued that pre-dispute arbitration is unfair to patients and their families and is more likely to benefit nursing home owners. The process removes an individual's right to have their case heard by a judge and jury, and instead moves disputes to private arbitration firms, typically hired by the company accused of wrongdoing. This practice has led to allegations that arbitration firms usually resolve disputes in a way that benefits nursing home owners.
The Office of Management and Budget Aug. 16 started reviewing the final rule, which governs conditions of participation that more than 15,000 long-term care facilities must implement to qualify for the Medicare program, according to the OMB reginfo.gov website.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released the proposed rule (RIN:0938–AR61) with the arbitration proposal in July 2015 (134 HCDR, 7/14/15).
A cadre of Democratic officials at the state and federal levels said in October 2015 that the CMS proposal's change to arbitration clauses didn't do enough to protect nursing home patients. The long-term care industry, however, said the CMS didn't have the authority to restrict nursing homes' use of arbitration.
The CMS "was right to recognize how problematic forced arbitration is" in the proposed rule, Sarah Rooney, director of regulatory affairs at the American Association for Justice, an industry group for litigators, told Bloomberg BNA Aug. 17. However, the proposal "would simply green-light the nursing home industry to continue using forced arbitration as long as certain disclosures are made," she said.
An industry group for the nursing home industry, the American Health Care Association (AHCA) countered that the CMS doesn't have the authority to regulate the use of arbitration agreements by nursing home operators. Furthermore, the AHCA "doesn't believe further agency directive" on pre-dispute arbitration "is necessary or possible," the group's president and chief executive officer, Mark Parkinson, told Bloomberg BNA in an Aug. 17 statement.
Separate comments on the proposal from 26 Democratic House members and 16 state attorneys general urged the CMS to prohibit pre-dispute arbitration clauses in long-term care facility admission contracts.
The AHCA told the CMS to completely withdraw any arbitration-related proposals in the rule.
Moreover, a request from a trial lawyers' group "served as the catalyst for CMS's arbitration-related proposals," the AHCA said in comments on the proposal, which were due in October 2015 (200 HCDR 200, 10/16/15).
Discussing other provisions in the rule, the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, a patient advocacy group, is against mandatory pre-dispute arbitration, but is more concerned about what the CMS will do on staffing level requirements in the final rule, Robyn Grant the organization's director of public policy and advocacy, told Bloomberg BNA Aug. 17.
In particular, the CMS should mandate that nursing homes are staffed 24 hours a day by persons licensed as registered nurses , Grant said. She told Bloomberg BNA the current staffing requirement, and the proposed rule, only call for a registered nurse to be at a nursing home eight hours a day. All-day registered nurse coverage is important because they are often the only ones at a skilled nursing facility with the proper training and state licensing who can do an assessment of treatments needed when a patient is having a problem, Grant said.
In addition, Grant said the final rule should specify minimum staff requirements for nursing homes. The current and proposed standards, which call for "sufficient" staffing, are too vague and allows facilities to cut personnel to a level that harms patients, she told Bloomberg BNA.
The AHCA, for its part, "strongly believes that implementation of the final regulations should be staggered over a five-year period," Parkinson said. Updating the conditions of participation is necessary to reflect current standards of practice, but Parkinson said the proposed regulations are too extensive and "will have a critical impact on skilled nursing center care and divert dedicated staff and resources from the mission of delivering quality outcomes."
The proposed rule also would ensure nursing home staff members are properly trained on how to care for residents with dementia and in preventing elder abuse.

I still clung to my father's arm as he set me down on the floor. I was told by my mother that I would have a play date today. It was with one of their friends' children. I was just hoping for it to be a boy. I didn't like girls very much.
Even for being barely a year old, I had a pretty good grasp of everything. Listening, processing, and realizing what's going on around me.
My father laughed lightly at me still hanging onto him and picked me up again. I was a daddy's girl. I knew it too.
"Kenpachi! Put her down, they're here!" My mother ordered coming into the room with a beautiful woman next to her. Behind them was a man who had almost a goat beard, and he was acting crazy.
"Mashi, it's my little girl I can do what I want." Daddy snarled back.
Mama just glared at him. He started to sweat and gently set me back down next to all the toys that were out in the play room.
The woman walked up about three feet in front of me and set down a boy with orange hair.
"Play nicely with Shiai, Ichigo." She told him. So his name was Ichigo. Ichigo, with orange hair. He looked like he needed to toughen up.
He clung to his mother like I did my father a minute ago. He wouldn't let go. His mother and father did the best they could to pry him off but it wasn't any good.
I rolled my eyes and started playing with the toy cars I had on the floor. I was so into my game I didn't realize someone come up behind me.
It wasn't until I felt the pig tails I had on either side of my head get pulled back hard did I notice anything. I whined and threw the closest thing near me behind me to stop it. I did, the truck hit something, someone cried, and my pig tails fell back to either side of my face like they usually would.
I turned around to see Ichigo sitting behind me crying. I hit him, and he pulled my pig tails. It was even in my eyes.
Our mothers and Fathers came rushing into room to see what was wrong. Ichigo was crying and I was pretty sure I had a look on my face of pain as well. I still felt the pull on my hair. That was dirty! No hair pulling in anything, it's against the rules! Daddy taught me that.
After Ichigo finally calmed down, our parents got what happened. I hurt Ichigo, only because I wanted him to stop pulling my hair. It was understood on both sides, but now our parents sat in the room with us watching us.
I think Ichigo was playing with building block, and I was still playing with my cars. I got tired of playing, and well just plain tired. I crawled over to my daddy and curled up in his lap. I fell asleep like that, still wondering why he did that.
Fast Forward Time Skip—->>>>
We were running away from the guys that picked some beef with us. Ichigo and I were walking home from school. We were in middle school now. We're both twelve and really good friends. On the way some high schoolers from somewhere I didn't care about came up to us and started picking a fight because we were different.
They started teasing Ichigo about his orange hair. And making sexual comments about my silver hair, and saying things like I was albino because I had red eyes as well.
We both stopped this when someone said that they should shave off the orange hair, and see if this was my real silver hair(If you've ever watched the outsiders when Dally was talking to Cherry you get where I'm coming from). We beat them up just enough to run.
There were about six of them and neither of us were well enough to fight completely right now. A few days back we got in a fight and got kinda hurt, we still weren't at our best yet.
Ichigo pulled me into an alley. But instead of by my arm it was by my loose hair. I haven't worn it up at all since our first encounter.
He pulled me and pushed me against the wall. I was about to yell at him when he covered my mouth with his hand. The guys that were chasing us ran right past us. We waited a couple of minutes before we moved.
He removed his and I glared at him.
"What?" He spat as we walked home.
"Why the hell did you pull my hair back there?" I almost yelled. I was pretty calm but this was starting to make my blood rise.
"Well excuse me for saving you from another sexual assault." He warned.
I shivered. He knew about that. When I was a little girl walking home because my grandfather didn't care, and my parents disappeared after I was about two. I was raped. He knew I didn't like to talk or think about it.
"Sorry." He mumbled as we were coming to my street.
I shook my head, "It's okay. Thanks." I told him.
He nodded, "See ya' tomorrow."
I walked back up to my Grandfather's shrine as Ichigo walked towards his family's clinic.
Fast Forward Time Skip—->>>>
Ichigo and I were sixteen now. He was a substitute shinigami and he knew that I was sorta like him. I had soul reaper powers, but I've had them my entire life. But my soulreaper form was turning my human body inside out. I know that sounds weird. But my soul reaper form is the same vestle as my body.
Like when Ichigo takes a soul candy and his soul is pushed out of his body and then his body is an empty shell. My soul takes over my body, so that form is my reaper form.
I'm pretty much the same as I was in human form, however I have silver wolf ears and a wolf tail, also silver. I have two zompakto, both of the wind.
We both know all that about each other, and why we didn't come clean about it sooner. He would have thought I had lost it. And he thought I wouldn't believe him. Both were probably true enough.
Right now we were fighting off a couple different hallows. They were strong, and we had to be careful. Again, more hallows from the other day.
There was only one left. Unfortuanlly we were both exhausted.
He was coming at me. Ichigo pulled me away from the blow and flashed stepped away with me. Unfortuanlly he was pulling me away by my hair.
When he stopped I almost exploded.
"Why the hell do you keep doing that?" I almost yelled. I was pissed and he knew it.
"Doing what?" He asked like he hand no idea.
"You keep pulling my hair, why?" I hissed.
He looked at me for a minute, then laughed lightly shaking his head.
"Do you really wanna know why I keep pulling your hair, Shiai?" He asked stepping closer to me to we were practically pressed against each other.
I nodded and crossed my arms.
He smirked then pushed me aside. I didn't even realize that the hallow found us. I looked up in a daze as Ichigo finished him off in one blow. He landed back on the round and turned to me. For once in my life, I blushed as he gazed over me.
"I did it 'cause your pretty, Shiai." He told me.
I couldn't say anything. He chuckled and walked over to me, helping me up.
"I only ever pulled your hair because I thought it was pretty. I thought you were pretty. But I know I'm wrong now." I looked down, "You, your hair, your eyes, your everything, Shiai, is beautiful."
I looked up at him straight into the eye. He was telling the truth.
"I love you, Shiai." He said, "I just never knew how to tell you."
"I-I, I love you too Ichigo." I told him smiling.
He smiled too. We leaned in and met in the middle in an electrifying, mind-blowing, passionate, loving kiss. It was perfect.
The Next Day—>>>
I was sitting in my desk reading. I always got here early. I was just waiting for class to start, or Ichigo to get here. Whatever came first.
Down the hall I heard the faint yell of Kegio coming this way, "Sh~i~ai~!" He exclaimed throwing himself through the door right at me.
I sighed and moved swiftly from my chair to sit on my desk. He crashed into my chair and pushed it, along with all the other chairs and desks in the row, towards the window.
"Morning, Kegio." I told him board.
"Shiai! You and Ichigo are so mean!" He exclaimed.
I simply grabbed a chair and sat back down.
I felt my long silver hair being lifted from my shoulders and back. I turned a little to see Ichigo tying my hair up in an orange ribbon.
"Morning, Ichi. What are you doing?" I asked.
"Morning, Shi." He said, "I'm putting your hair up."
"Why did you put it up?" I asked.
He leaned in and kissed my cheek, then whispered in my ear and said, "I did it because your always more beautiful with your hair up."
I blushed a little, and throughout the day his words echoed in my head.
"I did it 'cause you're pretty."
No, no that's not it.
"I did it because you're beautiful."

Video On Interferential Therapy
Interferential therapy has been used in a clinical setting for many years with great success. The problem has always been. – you gotta make a trip to the doctor's office. The therapy was very helpful for reducing pain for a day, a week or maybe longer. But when it came back, another visit was necessary.
New Technology has eliminated that problem. – See more at: http://painreductiontherapy.com/index.php?/Videos/how-the-infrex-unit-works-to-reduce-or-eliminate-pain.html#sthash.geITjdd5.dpuf

I've seen a lot of rumors about the Cubs looking into acquiring Baltimore second baseman Brian Roberts, as well as a lot of comments on various Cubs blogs supporting the idea. After thinking about it for some time, I still can't figure it out: unless the Cubs could acquire Roberts without giving up Pie or Hill, why on Earth would they make this trade?
Roberts is good, no doubt. But here's the thing: he's not that much better than Mark DeRosa, and he will cost more money than DeRosa plus prospects. For a team seemingly intent on spending as much money as possible, the bump in salary is negligible; the prospects are not. If the Cubs give up either Hill, who is probably their second-best starter, super-cheap, and still not at his peak, or Pie, who should be their starting center fielder for years to come (or at least for this year), is super-cheap, and is definitely not at his peak yet, to improve the team by a small amount at second base, I will be quite pissed. Now, if the Cubs could somehow get Erik Bedard back in that deal, I'd be willing to part with Hill, but that's unlikely.
Don't believe me that Roberts is not that much better than DeRosa? Check this out:
2006 (both in AL):
Roberts: .286/.347/.410, 96 OPS+, 10 HR, 55 BB, 66 K, 50/57 SB/SBA
DeRosa: .296/.357/.456, 108 OPS+, 12 HR, 44 BB, 102 K, 4/8 SB/SBA
Roberts: .281/.351/.409, 101 OPS+, 186/233 SB/SBA
DeRosa: .278/.341/.408, 92 OPS+, 12/25 SB/SBA
Roberts is undoubtedly better, especially when it comes to stealing bases, but he's simply not that much better. The difference in production between the two simply doesn't warrant giving up either Pie or Hill, and certainly not both of them. Don't do it, Jim! (Unless, of course, you can get Bedard, too, or you don't have to give up Pie or Hill.)
Now, I am quite excited about Fukudome, and some may see a measure of inconsistency in my attitudes towards him and towards the proposed Roberts trade: after all, isn't it true that Fukudome will likely not be that much better than a Murton/Jones or Murton/Fuld or Murton/whatever platoon in RF, at a significantly greater cost? The answer is yes, but the differences between the two situations are:
1) Fukudome may be significantly better than a Murton/whatever platoon, whereas we've seen enough of Roberts and DeRosa in the big leagues to know that the likelihood of Roberts outperforming DeRosa by a lot over the next couple years is small.
2) Fukudome costs money, but Roberts costs players who may be/are so good that replacing them will weaken the team more than adding Roberts strengthens it. Unless Fukudome gets hurt or just sucks, the Cubs will improve with his addition; they may have paid dearly for that improvement, but it's still an improvement. Replacing Hill with Gallagher or Marshall or whoever might hurt the Cubs more than replacing DeRosa with Roberts would help them, and you would sacrifice the most valuable thing in major league baseball: above-average production from cheap, young players.
A commenter at Baseball Think Factory said that he wouldn't trade Hill for Roberts straight-up. I agree.
EDIT: I feel I should add two things:
1) There's a rumor that the Cubs offered the Orioles Patterson, Murton, Gallagher, and Guzman for Roberts. That's a lot of prospects; even though neither Hill nor Pie is in that deal, I think it's bad for the Cubs.
2) If Roberts can play SS, then I'd be more willing to consider a trade like the one mentioned above. I still wouldn't part with Pie or Hill, though.

Getting to the Hospital with a Heart Attack: Drive or Call Ambulance?
In a recent study conducted at two hospitals in San Francisco, 44% of patients ultimately referred to the cardiac cath lab for suspectedheart attack had shown up to the emergency department on their own. But the remainder who hitched a ride in an ambulance progressed through the emergency department and into the cath lab significantly faster, despite needing more intensive care in the ED.
Read more here
How did you get to the hospital with your heart attack. WHat were the circumstances?
2 replies
Hey HH. I didn't have much of a choice, I had my heart attack in a grocery store and was in no shape to drive myself. I was suprised that I made it as far as the store before having the heart attack. From the time the ambulance left the store and arrived at the ER it took about 7 minutes. Once at the ER the cardiologist on call told me they were taking me right up to the cath lab. But being stubborn, I made them wait until my wife and kids showed up which took another 15 minutes because the EMT's sent them to the wrong hospital, the hospital they told my family to go to was on divert. Barring any delays it would have only taken 30 minutes from the time I was picked up by the ambulance until I would have been in the cath lab. The hospital in Lancaster Pa have a great intensive care unit and a great cardiac unit and thanks to them I'm still hear to talk about it.
Congrats on being in the "lucky" 50%. Heart attacks are preventable and heart disease is even reversible. I belong to a group where it is becoming commonplace! The best way to survive a heart attack is to never have one! Just work on staying at the cutting edge of medical discovery. It is really getting interesting!

Everything has to be cleaned regularly. Whether it's your eye corners, toilet or the high chair. And speaking of high chair, cleaning this piece of furniture can be a matter of great agony for some parents. How?
Because food is the main source of domestic mess. And it's more typical, when you're feeding your little one. They can't take the whole nibble in their mouths. They make a fuss and sprinkle food crumbs everywhere. Sometimes there is burfing. Spilling water and food is a regular incident that has to be included too.
In short, in order to keep everything alright you got to be upright about its regular cleanliness. That's when this question pops in the head, "We got to keep it clean, but how?"
1. It Starts With the Purchase Though
Before mastering the 'art' of cleaning, it's better to look forward to this in the beginning. When you're buying a high chair, you can check all of its feature.
Some high chair comes with super cleaning convenience. They feature removable tray that's made of such material that makes it easier to keep the tray clean and wipe it well. Sometimes those trays are washable in sink and also dishwasher-friendly.
There are chairs that don't have any gaps, crease or holes where food crumbs can get stuck. Some chairs feature removable seat that's washable, some fabrics can be kept clean by wiping frequently.
So, when there are high chairs with so many cleaning-friendly features, would that be wise to look any other way?
2. Crumbs Should Be Removed Instantly
Now, here comes after-purchase cleaning process. If your high chair comes with such features that leaves no place for crumbs getting stuck, then you're relieved from the worst agony. But a lot of things matter during a purchase and you may have to give up on such feature for a better deal.
However, it doesn't matter. If you get it that's good. If you don't, always take care of the little bits and crumbs. Pick them out after every feeding time.
You must keep the chair's creases and gaps crumb-free in order to keep it clean. This seems like a simple duty, but it's actually pretty important.
3. A Big Bib Perhaps
You can take a big bite from a Mac, but it's harder for your little one to take a whole little nibble in her mouth at once. So, a part of the nibble can usually fall apart in the process.
Moreover, burfing is a common phenomenon in child feeding. And lots of crumbs splatter while eating. These innocent tiny incidents later result in the huge mess.
So, it's better if you put a bib on your baby's chest to prevent those 'incidents' from making the chair dirty.
4. Clean the Tray Every Time
Every time you put a food item or water on the tray, there's a strong possibility that they're going to be spilled all over the places. And guess what, that incident doesn't repeat itself just on a miraculous day, the miraculous day that can't be witnessed forever.
So, after every feeding time, you must give the tray a good wipe, and a good wash every day in order to keep it clean for years. Otherwise, it'll get stained after a short while and will look horribly gross.
5. About the Seat and Fabric
If the seat pad is removable, that's fantastic! You can give it a good wipe and even put it in a wash. So, keep that in mind during purchase if you want a pleasant clean.
But if you can't get it, that's okay. You can give the seat a good wipe in order to keep it clean. Considering fabric, the cleaning method can be different. Because one particular wash type is not suitable for all sorts of fabric.

Collectif Penny dress and Handpicked Future/
A girl can never be overdressed right? I'm off to a bloggers' event with Handpicked Future tonight (they basically act as an agency for bloggers, and my blog has been with them for a couple of years now).
Collectif sent me their fabulous new Penny Pencil dress and this is its first outing. I adore the neckline, and had planned on wearing it for a date (which is now cancelled so I'm rocking it alone instead!).
This is a size XS, but the boob area does seem loose on me, and my bra slips over. I've worn a bandeau underneath to save my bra peeping out! I'm not small in boob size, so this did surprise me. I do adore it though - I may get the neckclasp tightened so that it holds it all up a bit more.
I don't currently own my perfect black dress. I do now!
If you want to treat yourself to a Collectif treat, use the code REE10 for a ten per cent discount.

Dr. Usui likewise took on 5 ethical rules that became called the Reiki healing principles, or "Goka." According to Dr. Usui, by applying these rules, which he taught, one might embark on the path towards self healing:
The secret technique of inviting great fortune into your life
The technique of using Reiki healing as a fantastic medicine for all illness
The exercise of sitting in the Gassho position (hands held palm-to-palm) and speaking the Reiki healing technique words aloud in your heart, each morning and night
The technique of centering and challenging your energy of the present day on the accompanying thoughts:
Don't be angry.
Don't worry.
Be thankful.
Work with integrity.
Be kind to other people.
Reiki isn't a religion, but a healing doctrine, and although a few consider it able to help the body heal itself, several consider it to be a "feel-good" therapy that advances relaxation.
Those who are treated report they feel warmth or tingling in the areas of treatment, with treatments being duplicated every 1 to 4 weeks.
The thought is that when the body's energy is correctly flowing and aligned, as in acupuncture and a few types of massage, the body may heal itself from a lot of ailments, as well as from the tension and anxiety that cause imbalances in wellness and health.
The story of Reiki is blossoming even as we take a breath.
History in a wide sense, is at best a subjective field of study, and however unintentionally, constantly contains a little degree of bias.


text: Mathematical modeling has become a valuable tool in the continued effort to understand, predict and ultimately treat a wide range of cancers in recent years. By describing biological phenomena in the concise and formal language of mathematics, it is possible to elucidate key components of complex systems and ultimately develop tools capable of quantifying and predicting system behavior under given conditions. When these tools are applied as a complement to the detailed understanding of cancer biology provided by biological scientists and clinicians, new insights can be gained into the mechanisms and first-order principles of cancer development and control. To date, although mathematical tools have been applied extensively in understanding tumor growth and dynamic interactions between cancer and host, studies involving the theoretical modeling of patient response to treatment and the contribution of such findings to the development of clinically-actionable therapeutic protocols remain strikingly limited. In particular, despite the rising emergence of immunotherapy as a promising cancer treatment, knowledge gained from mathematical modeling of tumor-immune interactions often still eludes application to the clinic. The currently underutilized potential of such techniques to forecast response to treatment, aid the development of immunotherapeutic regimes and ultimately streamline the transition from innovative concept to clinical practice is hence the focus of this review.

I'm currently preparing a post for Crate Paper set to publish in the am, so I'll be back to update this place some time tomorrow. In the mean time check out Crate's blog tomorrow for my Color Combination challenge - it's oh-so summery this month!

Happy April Fool's Day!
Now that spring has sprung, we have decided to do some serious cleaning out. Over the past couple of years, we have participated in several local craft fairs. We sold quite a bit of handmade cards, card sets, scrapbook pages, etc., but found that we have about a dozen layouts that we haven't yet sold. So we are putting them on Ebay. Even if we only get back the few dollars we actually spent on the materials for these layouts, at least we won't be using up storage space. Plus, we can use that money to get new stuff!
Since it's been a while since our last post, we thought we would share these layouts and maybe pass on a little inspiration. Now keep in mind these layouts are old and there are so many new styles and techniques, but maybe getting back to the basics will remind you of a layout you had planned to do but never got around to it! We will post more over the weekend. Enjoy!

The obvious goal for any fitness studio is to sign on new paying members. But you have to remember that it's equally important to retain these members as loyal customers. Otherwise we waste all that time, money and effort and never see any real growth in the business.
- It costs 7 times less to retain an existing member, than it does to get a new one.
- If you look after your current members, they are also far more likely to refer a friend to your gym and buy additional products or services themselves.
A lot fitness businesses offer 'no contracts' in an attempt to get more signups, but are then unprepared or simply unaware that statistically almost 44% of Australian gym members stop using their membership after 4 weeks and about to soon leave.
Here is how it can be done:
Remember to keep track of how many new members join your studio each month, but also make sure to measure your retention rate by using this formula:
Member retention rate = ((ME-MN)/MS)) X 100
ME = number of members at end of period
MN = number of new members acquired during period
MS = number of members at start of period
So, for instance, if you have 100 members at the start of the period, and you acquired 15 members during 1 month and have 98 members at the end of that period, the formula would look like this:
((98-15 divided 100) X 100 = 83 or 83% member retention for that period
Calculate this each month and keep track of your results in a spreadsheet. If you see that you're losing an unusual amount of members each month, do what you can to identify what caused the cancellations during those 30 days. This also allows you to test out new strategies and see which ones are more effective.
Okay, I'm sure all of you made a good impression when your new member first came to check out your gym, but you can't stop there.
Every time they come in to work out, your goal is to make them feel as welcome as you did during that first interaction. Here are some great ways to build relationships with your members:
- Every time someone walks through the door, say hello and ask how they're doing. A simple greeting and a smile can go a long way.
- Let members know about new classes that you have going on or about upcoming events. They're more likely to respond to a personal invite, rather than seeing the event posted online.
- Be friendly and approachable throughout the class. Research have shown that the instructor is a crucial element that keeps gym members returning.
- After a work-out, ask them how it was and if there's anything you could have done to make it an even better experience for them.
- If someone seems like they're having a hard time, or seem disappointed with anything, reach out immediately.
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all great platforms to keep your members up-to-date with information about your fitness studio. When people initially join, let them know that there are regular updates posted on social media and ask them to follow you.
You can go a step further and create exclusive communities for your members inside Facebook where are you can share content that provides instant value to your members. This can include things like:
- New blog articles you post on your website
- Videos of short workouts they can do at home
- Q&A sessions
- Articles or guides that help them with nutrition plans, training tips, best supplements, etc.
Have all of your members set short and long term fitness goals.
Short-term goals should be things that they can achieve in a month. People often get caught up in long-term goals, and they get easily discouraged if they don't observe any progress. Setting smaller goals can help to keep them motivated, plus demonstrates that they're on track to reach their long-term goals.
You can use some of these tips frugal setting with your members:
- Ideally, goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.
- Consider offering a free fitness assessment and measurements when people first sign up.
- Review the results together and help them come up with attainable goals and ways to achieve them.
- Check in with them periodically to see how they are doing, and if they are struggling, give them tips and encourage them to keep going
- After the first free assessment, offer weekly or monthly measurements as an additional service and generate extra revenue.
If the value is there, they'll stick with your studio/gym.
Look at member cancellations as a learning opportunity to improve your fitness studio.
Reach out to members who have dropped out and ask why they quit and what suggestions they have to improve your service. When someone says they want to cancel, talk to them about it immediately. It is possible that you can work out whatever it is driving them to drop out and get them to stay longer. If the membership can't be saved, survey in person or email them to ask for feedback.
Also pay close attention to your online reviews. People leave feedback for a reason – so you can learn from it. Positive or negative, use this feedback to make your studio better. If you find that several people quit because your classes aren't offered at a time that's convenient for them, consider adding classes at different times.
These strategies will build a stronger sense of community at your fitness studio and increase retention rates. Do you have any other tactics you've used to keep members? I'd love to hear them!

Title: Sway

Goodreads Synopsis:
But when Ken Foster, captain of the football team, leading candidate for homecoming king, and all-around jerk, hires Jesse to help him win the heart of the angelic Bridget Smalley, Jesse finds himself feeling all sorts of things. While following Bridget and learning the intimate details of her life, he falls helplessly in love for the very first time. He also finds himself in an accidental friendship with Bridget's belligerent and self-pitying younger brother who has cerebral palsy. Suddenly, Jesse is visiting old folks at a nursing home in order to run into Bridget, and offering his time to help the less fortunate, all the while developing a bond with this young man who idolizes him. Could the tin man really have a heart after all?
A Cyrano de Bergerac story with a modern twist, Sway is told from Jesse's point of view with unapologetic truth and biting humor, his observations about the world around him untempered by empathy or compassion---until Bridget's presence in his life forces him to confront his quiet devastation over a life-changing event a year earlier and maybe, just maybe, feel something again.
"Jesse is fashionably indifferent," Bridget said without a hint of irony in her voice.
I think I'm kind of in love with this book. It's like reading Looking for Alaska only the hero is the Colonel. The male lead isn't the usual meek, impressionable student. He isn't the most popular jock either, he's just this guy people keep around because things can go bad if he goes against them, or because more often than not they need him for something. But he's not someone you'd exactly call a friend, just someone to keep on speed dial when you need absolutely anything. And for Sway, well he doesn't exactly do favors for anyone, everything is a business transaction. No matter how minor the request is, if there's no money involved, he's not interested. Though, he's not always open to all kinds of requests, he's picky and a bastard at heart. He has no friends except for Joey who's become more of an annoying sister figure / business partner than anything.
He justifies his shady and less than orthodox business inclinations with this:
Nothing is good or bad, only thinking makes it so. Shakespeare was the one who said that. It's the only interesting thing I've learned after three years of high school.
The thing is, Sway (Jesse) is pretty damn smart, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to use his head for something as mundane as studying and school. The breaking point in which he changed to this gem of a persona happens right after his mother's death, where he becomes numb to most human emotions, and doesn't form attachments or believe in any good in the human nature. He becomes this no nonsense, no bullshit kind of person and gives everything with brutal honesty (unless he needs something from someone, then he knows how to butter them up).
"You visit your grandmother, you volunteer at Seigel Center - what do you do for fun on the weekends - rescue kittens or work in a soup kitchen?" I asked.
"Now you are making fun of me," she said. I lengthened my stride so I could reach the door before her and hold it open. She thanked me as she walked through.
"I'm not making fun of you," I said. "I'm truly interested. The concept of altruism fascinates me, though I don't really believe in it. You must have a selfish motive for all of your good deeds."
So Jesse is this enigma, a mix of all kinds of good and bad, in a way that shows you he's right, you can't exactly classify someone as something in particular, but also as his numbness starts to fade away throughout the book, he's forced to face emotions again and it's not a pleasant journey for him. Now don't get me wrong, he doesn't pull a 180 and become this paragon of sainthood all of a sudden or anything, but he slowly begrudgingly allows some things to affect him, or force a reaction out of him when normally they wouldn't. He's very wry and smart and full of these quirky elements of humor that help in rounding up this loaded mess of a personality he has.
He took a moment to look around the deserted yard, make sure he was not overheard. "I want you to get me a girl," he said."Well, you know, that's not really my line. Not that I object to it on moral or legal grounds," I said, holding up both hands in supplication, "but, strictly speaking, I don't mess with prostitutes or call girls."
This book was seriously hilarious and such a fun ride! Especially with Jesse at first who appears to be seriously morally reprehensible, I mean a guy who borrows an old man and claims he's his grandfather to get a girl to talk to him, use her sick brother as a way to get to her and basically gives things she says to him in confidence to this douchebag who wants to date her for two hundred bucks isn't exactly the modal citizen. But his ride to the end line was a great one to watch!
Rating: 5/5!

With only just the second edition being published it has already been announced as 'Must-have Art Collector's book' by WorldGuide.
"It's been a real thrill to launch the third book and receiving so many positive comments" - said Natal Vallvé Co-Founder of the book series.
"I completely agree" - adds Leo Richards (one of the Curators of the book series) "It has only just been launched, and we are working hard talking to many organisations, museums and galleries that want to either sell the book, buy the books, or to keepsake a few copies."
Extremely delighted are the Founders with the request of Beijing Book Fair that are enquiring to have the book on show once more.
It looks like the 'Contemporary Art of Excellence Volume III' will be another success. With artists featured such as: Ben Alan (Dubai), Vasso Fragkou (Greece), and Jessie Parker (Canada), and many others showing paintings, photography art and illustrations, including artists; Sintseva Art (Belgium), Maysha S (Germany), Maryse Pique (Spain), Michelle Purves (Australia), and René von Boch (Germany).

The odds of having identical triplets are very low. The odds of having identical triplets with a rare childhood eye cancer are nearly non-existent.
Yet this is the situation Alberta residents Leslie and Richard Low found themselves in when their two-month old sons Thomas, Luke, and Mason, were diagnosed with retinoblastoma (RB) in February 2014.
Immediately after the boys were diagnosed, the Lows were referred to world-renown, Terry Fox-funded retinoblastoma specialists Drs. Brenda Gallie and Helen Chan in Toronto.
Both specialists have been Terry Fox-funded researchers for decades, and their groundbreaking research in retinoblastoma, including establishing best practice protocols, have helped bring Canada's retinoblastoma mortality rate down to just one per cent. Nearly 8,000 children are diagnosed each year worldwide — 70 per cent do not survive.
The family traveled between Alberta and Toronto for treatment and within eight months each of the triplets had one eye removed. Now almost 18 months old, Thomas, Luke, and Mason all have one healthy eye and one matched blue prosthetic.
"We're at a very hopeful stage, and we feel like the worst is past us," says their mother Leslie Low, 28. "We know what a blessing and a miracle it is that they each had one good eye to start off with. It is really pretty incredible."
"Each of the Low triplets had more than one tumour, but we've caught them when the tumours were very tiny and treated them successfully with only laser surgery, and sometimes freezing," says Dr. Gallie. "The boys are beautiful and they will do well with their remaining eye."
Low says both doctors were "incredible", presenting them with the best information and most-advanced treatment options.
"They helped us avoid the emotional aspect of it — I find sometimes that's really, really hard as a parent to do," says Low. "They helped us make the best decisions for our children."
Retinoblastoma is thought to be genetic, but the Lows have no family history of the disease. Their oldest son Benson, 4, does not have the RB mutation. Children with retinoblastoma have a 50 per cent chance of passing on the gene to their children and have a higher risk of developing other cancers.
Dr. Chan, program leader of the Terry Fox Translational Project in retinoblastoma, adds "I think that it is very important that TFRI and the Terry Fox Foundation have funded a rare cancer. Retinoblastoma is a children's cancer rather than an adult cancer and is ranked number 13 in pediatric cancers. The RB mutation itself is a tumour suppressor gene and affects a lot of other cancers.
"I really value seeing the patients as they grow older, when they can discuss things with you. Remembering seeing my patients as babies and seeing them grown up and eager to learn about the disease, [as a physician] I find that extremely gratifying."
The Low family is grateful for the research that has helped the triplets, "We are so thankful to all those who donate to research and who do things to try and help research to be done for cancer," says Low. "It's such a huge thing for us and we are so grateful for that. This is going to impact us forever."

SAN DIEGO — For Lamont Grove, "Hoosiers" was just a movie. It wasn't the final word.
The troubled kid doesn't always help the team win the state championship and the admiration of adoring fans. Although Grove was a good player at Clay High School in South Bend, basketball--even in Indiana--was no guarantee against falling through the cracks.
But Grove decided to change directions and try to turn a bad situation in South Bend into a good one in San Diego. He decided to hop on a bus and stay with his aunt for a year.
Luckily for John King, Grove's aunt lives near Crawford High School, where King coaches basketball.
Since he transferred to Crawford before the school year, Grove is averaging 27 points, 8 assists and--despite being 5-feet 11-inches tall--7 rebounds.

DAVIS, Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A 39-year-old softball coach and a teenage player from Oregon who ran off together nine months ago were found in Tennessee this week after a minor traffic accident. Andrew James Garver was in jail Thursday awaiting a court hearing, a day after he surrendered to police. Authorities will seek to send him back to Oregon to face charges of custodial interference and car theft, said FBI (news - web sites) spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele in Portland, Ore. Michelle "Mimi" Smith, 16, was being held in Juvenile Court custody, and authorities were working on returning her to her mother in Oregon. Oregon police have said Smith went with Garver willingly. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=533&e=8&u=/ap/20040624/ap_on_re_us/missing_teen
