Thank you for visiting ChefMoz.org. For more than 10 years, ChefMoz was the largest international online directory of restaurants and reviews, covering more than 300,000 restaurants in 142 countries. Unfortunately, due to persistent hardware issues and a lack of resources, we have been forced to make the difficult decision to place ChefMoz on an indefinite hiatus.
We would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the thousands of volunteer editors who devoted countless hours toward building ChefMoz, as well as to the tens of thousands of members of the public who submitted reviews and added restaurant information. Your altruistic efforts created a tremendously valuable, freely-available resource, and exemplified the highest ideals of the web community.
While we hope that the ChefMoz project will be revived in the future, you can still find information about restaurants from our actively maintained sister project, DMOZ, which contains tens of thousands of links to restaurants and restaurant review sites.
Respectfully yours,
The Open Directory Project Staff

Arsenal an opposition striker in plain sight of the referee with only 10 minutes on the clock. No manager can legislate for this kind of aberration, unless he threatens to lock any player guilty of such a reckless act in a dungeon for the rest of his life. And Arsene Wenger, we know, is not that sort of manager.
So Laurent Koscielny is dismissed before backsides have had time to warm on seats and Arsenal spend the next 80 minutes battling against insuperable odds. But here is the encouraging part. At no point in the inquest did Wenger try to hide from the deeper failings of his side. He had no issue with the penalty awarded against his defender (Edin Dzeko, the victim, missed) and no real objection to the red card that forced him to take off Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and send on another centre-half, Per Mertesacker.
Instead Arsenal's manager of 17 years deferred to undeniable evidence. He said: "We didn't start with enough confidence or authority. You have to dictate your personality, especially defensively. We could have done better at both goals. It's frustrating because the team showed great heart and desire after that, but we're a bit too nervous to play in a serene way at home and that is costing us." As Wenger diagnosed, the Gunners were hesitant at the start, unconvincing in their efforts to answer James Milner's opening goal for the English champions and a long way short in most departments of a top four side, which they need to be if they are to extend Wenger's excellent record of qualifying for the Champions League: itself a comfort blanket against the lack of success in domestic competitions.
Arsenal (sixth) are only six points behind Spurs in fourth and have a game in hand, but no serious punter would bet big on them seeing prime-time European action next autumn. Harry Redknapp, the Queens Park Rangers manager (and not an impartial observer, admittedly), spoke for most observers when he said: "Spurs have a much stronger squad than Arsenal.
Much stronger." Liverpool (three points back) are also shaping up as credible outsiders for the fourth-place spot and Everton are holding their ground in fifth.
A team that whacked Reading 5-2 and Newcastle 7-3 in December might look pretty enough in the right kind of light. But Arsenal have fewer points after 21 games (34) than at any time in Wenger's Premier League career.
Often they are missing rhythm, conviction, individual match-changing talent and faith. Wenger has noticed the pessimistic mood around the ground but has been careful not to provoke the crowd. After this 2-0 defeat, though, he was asked whether audience disquiet was affecting results. "I don't know if it's linked with that," he said, "but it doesn't help." In the crowd's mind is a link between the astronomical price of tickets and the diminishing quality of the entertainment this season. At first Koscielny's sending off provided a grievance to hide behind. It was all referee Mike Dean's fault. By the time Dean balanced things up by ejecting City's Vincent Kompany 15 minutes before the end it was already plain Arsenal were beset by other problems. A match official correctly applying the laws of the game could not be used as crutch all afternoon and evening.
First: the defending for both the Milner and Dzeko goals was slack. In each case defenders failed to react the danger: especially Thomas Vermaelen, the captain, who is increasingly prone to concentration lapses.
A few yards further up the pitch, Abou Diaby made a tortured return to the side after four months out with injury. He can be forgiven his scattergun passing and general disorientation against a strong City midfield. While Diaby was struggling to find his range, Jack Wilshere was chopped and upended with bruising frequency. It was a clumsy challenge on Wilshere that led to Kompany's debatable red card.
Where we pick up traces of panic in the whole Arsenal enterprise is the use of Theo Walcott as a lone centre-forward. Walcott struggled to make the starting XI until his contract negotiations entered a critical phase. At that point his wish to play as a central striker was suddenly granted.
Meanwhile Olivier Giroud, the latest in a long line of new Arsenal strikers, started against City on the bench. At 2-0 down, Walcott and Giroud played together, but a long way from a three-man Arsenal midfield who were asked to service two strikers who mostly spectated from a distance.
Wenger needs no tactical lessons from a journalist, but perhaps a 4-5-0 formation would have worked better, with two players breaking from midfield. Lukas Podolski also gave cause for concern here, presenting himself as a luxury striker runner with no great urge to get back and help with the messy stuff. Santi Cazorla's creativity is drowned out on days like this.
Wednesday's FA Cup third round replay against Swansea and Sunday's Premier League visit to Chelsea now assume ominous weight for an Arsenal side who bear little resemblance to the cavaliers of old. Bayern Munich are next month's formidable Champions League second-round opponents.
A good start would be for the centre-backs to acknowledge that bear-hugging an opponent in the penalty box with the referee a few yards away is likely to end in calamity. The smattering of fans who applauded Koscielny might also give it some more thought. The players are in no position to blame the crowd, though. The "authority" Wenger says they lacked in this game has to be found from somewhere. Preferably, within.

I didn't expect the Rainy River to hook my heart and not let go.
But it did. And that surprised me.
The 90-mile-long ribbon of river that separates Minnesota from Canada isn't nearly as alluring to me as the streams of the southeast, streams that call like sirens and beckon with diamond-clear waters that trickle and tumble through tree-shrouded valleys. Nor is the Rainy as awe-inspiring as the Mississippi at Lake City, where the great river unwinds into a sprawling mile-wide knot of water before flowing south beneath scenic bluffs, which rise like furrows hoed by an unseen giant.
Yet the Rainy—a relative Plain Jane in a state steeped with beauties—has become my favorite river.
The reason is simple. Lake sturgeon. Big lake sturgeon. Sturgeon that stretch from gunwale to gunwale. Some weigh 100 pounds, even more. I have yet to catch a fish that size, but a man can dream—and casting one's thoughts to the Rainy is fertile water for that.
I stumbled into sturgeon fishing several years ago when a group of friends asked me to join their annual spring pilgrimage to the Rainy. They had an empty boat seat, an empty bunk, and plenty of room in a pickup truck. They wondered if I, like them, would welcome the salving sound of waves splashing against a boat's hull after a long and depressing winter.
So on a Friday morning, our group angled northwest from Brainerd to Baudette. We brought three boats. A dozen rods. Hundreds of night crawlers. A thousand hopes. And one cooler chock-full of thick steaks, red potatoes, and plenty of fixings—the logic being we'd feast well even though we planned to release our catch.
Turned out, the bite was good. At one point, two anglers in our group were wrestling with 59-inch sturgeon at the same time. Later, a much bigger fish was caught. I was hooked.
I had the good fortune to spend much of that seminal trip with two fisheries biologists. While all of the men in our group were good cards, these two were a pair of pocket aces. I say this because they were Wikipedia personified—yet even better, for they could pass night crawlers, pour coffee, spin yarns, and perform other critical angling responsibilities. So during the lulls between bites, I'd fire off questions and they'd shoot back answers. Before long, I'd learned how the Rainy River and Lake of the Woods sturgeon population collapsed some 100 years ago from too much commercial fish harvest and too little regulation of the wastewater that poured from the pipes of paper mills, timber mills, and municipalities. In the late 1800s, commercial harvest of sturgeon topped 1 million pounds a year at the south end of Lake of the Woods. This over-harvest, combined with water pollution in the years to come, removed old fish and stymied the production of new fish in these waters where sturgeon had lived for thousands of years.
The sturgeon's salvation was the 1972 national Clean Water Act. Over time, this antipollution legislation and growing enlightenment among business, community, and natural resource leaders led to improved water quality and renewed spawning success. Today's good fishing, I was told, was 50 years in the making.
I had no idea what to expect on that first fishing trip, but I soon learned sturgeon fishing is pretty straightforward. If you can feel a bite, you can catch a fish. Equipment needs are basic too. You don't need much more than a stout rod, strong line, and a decent reel, preferably a level-wind reel that cranks like a winch. Add to this a hefty slip-sinker or two, a swivel, and a good-sized circle hook threaded with a few night crawlers, and you are ready to fish. Simply toss the crawlers to the bottom of the lake or river and wait, being careful to stay on the Minnesota side of these border waters.
If you're lucky, one of these bottom-feeding fish will open its mouth and engulf your bait. This might feel like the light tap of a walleye. It might feel like a steady pull. No matter. Simply raise the rod tip, start reeling, and let the circle hook catch in a corner of the fish's mouth. Then hold on. It can get real interesting real fast.
Fast Forward to Spring 2012. Spring came early on the Rainy. Record-breaking warm temperatures had melted much of the river's ice by March 22, about three weeks ahead of average. I didn't like that. Sturgeon fishing is often best shortly after ice-out. That's when mature fish intent on spawning funnel from gigantic Big Traverse Bay on Lake of the Woods into a constricted area known as the Gap. From there they fin farther into the mouth of the Rainy to spawn. The Rainy always holds sturgeon, but the odds of catching a big one are better when fish numbers are at their peak.
Unfortunately, my wife, son, and I weren't scheduled to fish until early May. Too late? It was hard to say. But that possibility nagged at me during the days leading up to our trip.
It was about noon on a Friday when Linda, 12-year-old Michael, and I hitched the Crestliner to the Pathfinder, crossed our fingers that nothing would break, and pulled the rig north onto Highway 371. We bought four dozen night crawlers in Walker. We bought gas and groceries in Baudette. We bought new fishing licenses at Border View Lodge on Wheeler's Point, our destination. We were set.
Once registered at the lodge, I ambled over to the adjacent public boat launch to collect the latest local fish-catching intelligence. It was depressing. The school of men I waded into had fished a sturgeon tournament earlier that day. They had not fared well. Neither had many others, they said.
"It was a tough bite," one of them grumbled in a voice as dry as the desert.
"Sure was," said another. "I was skunked most of the day. Thankfully, I caught this one right before quitting time." He pushed a smart phone in front of my face. A photo of a 55-inch sturgeon shone from the screen. Nice fish.
After I said so long to these men, I strolled down to the docks to observe anglers in the flotilla of boats up and down from the access. I didn't see a single bent rod. I didn't see anyone ready with a net. I did bump into Mike Larson, an angler of some repute on the river, as he pulled up to the dock.
"Any action?" I asked.
"Not much," he said. "But I did see a woman just land two fish out in the Gap. … If you're gonna give it a try tonight, you may want to fish out her way. … She's past the second weedbed … last boat in the string … kind of out there by herself."
Thirty minutes later, that's where Michael, Linda, and I were bound. Upon arrival we kerplunked a 22-pound anchor close—but not too close—to the port side of the woman's boat. We baited hooks. Checked drags. Dropped lines. And then we kicked back and relaxed. We had soft seats and plenty of snacks. The night was young. This would be good.
It was at this point—just as a wave of bliss was washing over me—that the boat's bilge pump whirred into action. I peered over the gunwale and beheld the contents of the belly of the boat being upchucked back into the lake. Not good. Leaks below the water line never are.
"I bet this means we're going back to land right now," my wife opined in a soft voice that spoke loudly to the wisdom of lifting the anchor and not arguing.
"Yes," I replied without hesitation. "Land sounds good."
So that's where we went. At the access I wrapped the better part of a roll of electrician's tape around a livewell pump that had fractured from ice expansion over winter. We were set for the next morning. Unfortunately, the fish weren't. We didn't catch a thing in the forenoon.
However, the afternoon was different. It all started when Linda, seated in the back of the boat with her feet propped up against the transom, detected a bite. It was just a light pull. She passed the rod to Michael with the counsel that "it feels like a small one."
Michael, who had landed a 50-inch sturgeon the year before, knew what to do. He raised the rod tip. He cranked the reel. He measured tension in the line. Then he reefed back in a slow and steady motion. Confident the hook was set, he cried, "Fish on!"
His eyes, which had grown dull since dawn, now widened and sparkled with intensity. They grew even larger as the sturgeon made its first run, unspooling line with ease and bowing the rod until its tip stabbed through the surface of the water.
"Doesn't feel like a little one to me," he said, grinning.
In the minutes that followed, he gradually worked the rod back to a more horizontal position by heeding age-old advice: "When the fish pulls, you don't." It was quite the tug-of-war. Michael would pump the rod, crank the reel, and gain line. Moments later, the fish would take it back, and then some. The seesaw battle reminded me of Hemingway's story The Old Man and the Sea, which Michael and I had read together years ago. I began to call Michael "the boy," a reference to the boy in the book. I thought this was apt and funny. He found it odd and not funny at all.
"He's coming up," Michael said at last. And when it did, we got our first look at the sturgeon that would later be measured at 61 inches and 62 pounds. Yet we didn't see the behemoth for long. It dove again, this time pulling out line as though the hook were snagged to a submarine.
Finally, Michael said, "My arms are on fire. Take the rod." I didn't, at least not immediately. But when I did, I too was amazed at the strength of the fish. The seesawing continued far longer than I would have imagined. At last, Michael and Linda swooped a net under the fish and hoisted it into the boat. We heard whoops of approval from anglers on nearby boats as we raised the fish for a photo and then released it.
As fishing stories go, I know this one is quite ordinary. Countless others have caught more fish, bigger fish, and overcome adversity far beyond a broken livewell pump. Yet it remains extraordinary to me how fishing can unite a family and spawn memories that last a lifetime. Together in a boat, you talk. You laugh. You imagine. You catch fish, or at least sometimes you do. And you dream.
As we drove home on a Sunday afternoon, Michael daydreamed of boating an even bigger fish but wasn't sure we would.
"Are we coming back next spring?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"Good," he said.
The Rainy had hooked his heart too.

Ethiopia 2008 © Francesco Zizola
MSF medical staff examines a malnourished child at a nutrition center in southern Ethiopia.
Mumishene was not yet two years old. The doctors in the intensive nutrition center at Shinshicho had struggled long and hard, even resuscitating him several times. But on a Sunday morning, as day broke, this little boy died. A low keening funeral song surrounded the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) vehicle as it bore Mumishene and his mother back to their village. The family wept as they learned the sad news and soon they were joined by the whole of the community. His fragile body shrouded in a few blankets, they carried Mumishene through an Eden of dark green maize and lighter green banana leaves.
Why, in the midst of this symphony of colors, with the life-force of nature burgeoning all around, are children visibly dying of malnutrition? Why are tragedies like Mumishene's afflicting this apparently prosperous region of southern Ethiopia?
Samuel, an Ethiopian member of MSF’s team at Tunto, in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR), explains: "Over the last few weeks, I've been talking a lot with the parents of malnourished children. They tell me that for five or six months there was not a drop of rain. Hunger started to set in. Some of the farmers around here managed to grow a scant crop of ginger to sell to traders, but they've no food to eat. The staples have become very expensive at the market. Compare the prices with last year—100kgs of maize, for example, has shot up from around 360 to 800 Ethiopian Birr ($37 to $82 US). The same with fertilizer—it is simply too expensive for the farmers. Now that we've got some decent rainfall, the maize and other crops are growing again. But we'll have to wait until the next harvest, in September or October, before we see any sort of improvement".
Mothers and children wait in line at an MSF supplementary feeding center in Tunto, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region.
In urgent need of food aid MSF started an emergency relief operation in the southern Ethiopian regions of Oromiya and SNNPR on May 13, 2008. Since then, the teams have been constantly reassessing the needs in this area. Confronted by rapidly escalating numbers of severely malnourished patients, MSF has set up a total of 51 outpatient nutrition centers and five hospitalization centers. For children suffering from moderate malnutrition, other centers offering supplementary nutritional feeding were rapidly set up. By early August, more than 20,000 patients with severe acute malnutrition had been admitted into this nutrition program and about 8,500 children suffering from moderate malnutrition had received nutritional and medical help.
"The patients in MSF's care are just the tip of the iceberg," explains Rosa Crestani, MSF's emergency coordinator. "We are treating the most severely ill patients, but many others are suffering from hunger. They have exhausted their food stocks and right now they depend totally on food aid brought in from elsewhere. Food aid urgently needs to get through to these people so that they don't slip into acute malnutrition as well".
In the Siraro district of Oromiya region, MSF has contributed to the reduction of the occurrence of severe malnutrition by taking a comprehensive approach. Carrying out both therapeutic feeding programs and carefully targeted distributions has brought the number of patients in MSF's programs down from 1,251 to 971 over the last four weeks.
MSF medical staff helps warm a malnourished child at a feeding center in southern Ethiopia.
"An organization like MSF has neither the capacity nor sufficient stocks of food aid to employ this strategy in all the affected areas," says Crestani. The teams have opened some supplementary nutritional programs where every two weeks families receive cooking oil and 14kgs of flour.
MSF's temporary rural centers are literally besieged by villagers. In the village of Ajora, in SNNPR, dozens of children wait barefoot in the mud, shivering in the freezing rain. Several are admitted into MSF's nutrition program, but many are turned away. "It's very difficult to send children back home because they're not malnourished enough, when you can plainly see that they are hungry and that their whole family needs help," says Dr. David de Souza, simultaneously trying to control the crowd and identify the patients at greatest risk. "Many are so desperate, they'll do anything to receive a little food."
Some patients cover vast distances to come to MSF's centers. "We even have patients who speak the language of distant regions like Wolayita or Hadyia," continues de Souza. "These are areas where the humanitarian needs are comparable to here, but where the amount of aid is clearly still insufficient."
To reach people who have not yet received assistance, MSF teams are still exploring new areas, like the Amhara region in the north, or the Somali region in the east of the country. MSF also set up new feeding programs in Afar region in the north, and around Chencha, Dita, Duna, and Bursa in SNNPR. Alarming rates of severe malnutrition had been reported in these areas.
As things stand, the agricultural, economic, and climatic conditions mean that there could be a gradual improvement in some areas, while in other areas the situation could continue to deteriorate. This is exactly what is happening on the highlands of SNNPR, where the crops will probably not be harvested until October. MSF teams will have to continually adapt their activities as the needs change, closing some centers and opening other new ones.

The last drops of the rain shower fall to the ground at Ajora. Shafts of light pierce the lowering clouds, illuminating the lush green of the fields. Southern Ethiopia seen like this is a million miles from the clichés of famine—dust-bowl landscapes and the white bones of dead cattle. But the crowds jostling at the entrances of MSF's clinics are a sharp reminder that even here, there is a desperate shortage of food.
At the intensive nutrition center at Shinshicho, the regular blips of the artificial respirator show that death is never far away. But MSF doctor Karianne Flaatten, an intensive care specialist, prefers to dwell on the children who will make it through. Here, as she well knows, they are the overwhelming majority. "This 15-year-old boy weighed no more than 20kgs," she says. "He was like a skeleton—he couldn't even open his eyes. For two weeks we were here at his bedside every day. Eventually, he started to look like a boy again. It really made me so happy; a shadow had transformed into a human being! Malnourished children always look somehow old and sad, and so adult. But with good nutritional treatment, before long they start to smile. You can start to look these children in the eye again."

Trigeminal Neuralgia – Causes, Symptoms And Treatment
Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common facial pain syndrome with paroxysmal character, representing one of the most unbearable pain. Also known as tic douloureux, trigeminal neuralgia has an incidence of 4.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and is characterized by recurrent episodes of pain, which starts in a small area of the face. Onset is most common in middle age, but have been reported cases with onset in childhood or in adolescence.
Trigeminal nerve is the largest of all the cranial nerves, is a mixed nerve and presents two components: a sensory component which is formed by somatic sensory fibers that carry pain, temperature and touch sensations from the face and a motor component formed by motor fibers that supply temporalis, pterygoid, tensor tympani, tensor palati, mylohyoid, and anterior belly of the digastric muscle.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Causes
The exact pathophysiology of trigeminal neuralgia is not well known, in most cases the cause is not evident, being an idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia. In a small percentage of cases, trigeminal neuralgia may occur due to structural lesions of the trigeminal nerve.
In most cases, trigeminal neuralgia is probably caused by the compression of an aberrant arterial or venous loop on the nerve root, produced where trigeminal root is entering into the pons. This mechanism first described by Jannetta in 1967 is still incriminated in 80% -90% of cases.
Pulsations of arterial or venous vascular loops that produce aberrant trigeminal root compression, are responsible for the appearance of demyelination areas in the trigeminal root, which causes a non-synaptic transmission between sensory, thick , myelinated fibers and small, thin fibers that transmit pain. Aberrant arterial loops most often originate from superior cerebellar artery and anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
In a lower proportion of cases, trigeminal neuralgia may be caused by a primary demyelination, as occurs in approximately 2% of cases of multiple sclerosis that is associated with trigeminal neuralgia.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Symptoms
The disease usually appears after age of 40 years, between 50 and 58 years, and most commonly affects females, the female/male ratio being 1,6:1 for women.
Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by a paroxysmal, repetitive, very strong and lancianting pain that is lasting a few seconds, described by the patient as a sensation of electrical shocks that starts suddenly. Attacks occur daily for several weeks or months, followed by a period of remission that may last for years and then attacks may recur. The pain is always located unilaterally, is so strong and sudden that the patient is frightened, may grimace, wince, or make an aversive head movement, reason why trigeminal neuralgia is also called tic douloureux.
Paroxysmal pain attack lasts a few seconds, up to 20-30 seconds, rarely up to several minutes and during the day or night painful attacks can occur several times. The attack appear and disappear suddenly. Pain may occur spontaneously or is triggered by stimulation of specific areas located on the face, called trigger zones. Trigger zones are stimulated by low intensity stimuli, especially tactile or activities like teeth washing, yawning, talking, shaving and laughing. Pain may be precipitated by loud noises or bright stimuli. Most often the trigger zone is located on the nose or lips. After the active period of the disease, remissions can last for months or years, and recurrence of painful paroxysms is unpredictable.
Neuralgia occurs mostly on maxillary and mandibular branch, but were reported exceptional cases were neuralgia was located in the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
Neurological examination reveals no changes in trigeminal nerve territory, which is an argument for the diagnosis of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia. In evolution, trigeminal neuralgia tends to deterioration, painful attacks have the tendency to increase in frequency and severity.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment
Trigeminal neuralgia benefit from medical treatment and neurosurgical treatment. Because trigeminal neuralgia affects patients older than 50 years, medical treatment should represent the initial therapy. Medical therapy is often sufficient and effective, allowing surgical consideration only if pharmacologic treatment fails.
Medical Therapy
Carbamazepine is the drug of choice in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Dose should be increased gradually to obtain a maximum effect of the drug. After several weeks of symptoms improvement, the dose of carbamazepine may be decreased gradually. The most common side effects of carbamazepine are represented by skin rash, liver problems, ataxia and dizziness. Oxycarbamazepine has fewer side effects compared with carabamazepina and represent an other choice in trigeminal neuralgia.
Phenytoin, clonazepam, baclofen, gabapentin and lamotrigine may be used either alone or in combination with carbamazepine.
Baclofen is the second choice in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, especially in relapse cases. Dose should be increased gradually to obtain a maximum effect and can be administered alone or in combination with phenytoin or carbamazepine.
Neurosurgical Procedures
Neurosurgical procedure are applied to cases that are unresponsive to drug therapy and consist of:
- Microvascular decompression;
- Percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy;
- Percutaneous radiofrequency trigeminal gangliolysis;
- Percutaneous microcompression with balloon inflation;
- Gamma knife surgery.
3 Responses to Trigeminal Neuralgia – Causes, Symptoms And Treatment
Respected sir
Iam living in india at cuddalore in tamilnadu state.
Now iam suffering from facial pain .(facial nerve pain) daignosed trigeminal neuralgia,since 10 years.
given carbamazipine,and prigabaline.Now stoped all drugs. because iam going to acupuncture treatment.but till now iam suffering from trigeminal nerve pain(madible and maxilary nerve).opthalmic nerve giving pain in the time of taking cabapentini.cabapentine is giving side effect to trigeminal opthalmic nerve.
kaindly i request to you sir,give proper direction to me for treatment.
thanking you
yours faithfully

All antiseizure drugs caused impairing fogginess. Eventually I found that topical LIDOCAINE 2% VISCOUS placed inside the upper lip at the very top would stop the pain. This is where your dentist injects novicaine (like lidocaine), the very end of one branch of the trigeminal nerve. Recently, I saw a neurologist who very wisely prescribed the ORAL form of lidocaine, “mexiletine” (Mexitil)capsules, 150 mg to start.
This durg stopped excruciating, overwhelming, exhausting pain within about 15 minutes! Incredible.
Sometimes I need a higher dose (max is 900 mg to avoid side effects; otherwise there are NO side effects). This drug is used for heart spasms of the lower part of the heart at a higher dose. But at this dose, below 900 mg, there is no heart effect.
It is very safe, without side effects, and extremely effective for “central” (originating in the brain as trigeminal neuralgia does) pain!
Ask your doctor for mexiletine/Mexitil. It is a long-proven drug, available all over the world.
If it ever stops working,I will have the “gamma knife” treatment.It does not involve opening up the skull,done at major medical centers by a neurosurgeon with very advanced and precise equipment (UCSF, Stanford, Univ of Washington). It takes a short time, and there is total remission within three weeks.
An old friend has had the gamma knife treatment four times now, each time lasting for 5-7 years, and has been able to give college lectures and travel widely to conferences to give presentations. She also publishes books on her work in literature (John Milton) and lectures on the psychoanalysis of pain in major medical schools–so she is urging me to get the gamma knife treatment ASAP. Meanwhile, Mexitil and using the lidocaine on gauze strips under my upper lip stop the pain! Completely.
Be sure to use the treatment as soon as possible after an attack begins to interrupt the pain to keep the pain gates from opening more. No reason to go through this.
My pain goes from the roof of my mouth, up through my sinus bone, through the eyelid and eyebrow, the forehead, and into the edge of the scalp. These sites spread after I had “shingles” on the same side about eight years ago; the pain had followed a dental infection (dry sccket)in a tooth next to the “eye tooth” in 2000.
I feel very, very lucky to have found both lidocaine (on the skin or in the mouth) and then Mexitil. Pain only recurs rarely now that the nerve is not being stimulated, I assume.
By the way, my pain was deemed “intractable”, since no drugs would interrupt it, and I was referred to a neurosurgeon for the gamma knife treatment. It is the most severe kind of trigeminal neuralgia. because it’s complicated by “post-herpetic neuralgia” (PHN)
Please ask your doctor for mexiletine (Mexitil is easier to spell);in the meantime, use the topical (surface) lidocaine– only the 2% viscous lidocaine will work. I was happy to find this specific form verified as uniquely effective in clinical research articles.
There is a lidocaine patch that’s used for severe pain, too, but I’d rather use this goo in my mouth than have a patch on my face. Some people put the lidocaine gel on their skin; I’ve used this for the sinus bone and eye pain in the past not as effective as putting it under your upper lip, good as a supplement. But try the oral capsule, the Mexitil, as well– much more effective. lasts for 4-8 hours.

Every once in a while I come across a headline that makes me laugh for reasons the headline artist (we call them headtists) probably didn't want.
Today we have Golf.com's headline on a story about Sergio Garcia and his future. The link and headline reads, "No. 2 Garcia now aims at major wins and Tiger."
While the headline shouldn't get all the blame, Sergio should. His quote in the story had me scratching my head with a 4-inch nail.
``I think my next goal is trying to win a major,'' Garcia said Monday.
Hummmm. Well, call me crazy, but I thought Sergio was trying to win a major the last few years. You know, with all those seconds and British Open playoffs and such. I mean, maybe he was just trying to finish in the top-5 without winning a major just to prep himself for that quote.
Wait, is Sergio smarter than we all initially thought? He had this whole thing planned out like a television series? What a jerk.

human medicine you can give dog
What human medications can you safely give a 35 lb dog. My vet charged me $14 for 4 pills that are anti inflamitory. I have seen low dose asprin 81 mg in the Jeffers pet catalog alot cheaper than that.

What did he prescribe? There are some medications from the vet that are a combination of anti-inflammatory and pain med. I have given my dogs baby aspirin in the past. Dogs are also tolerant of benadryl and low dose tylenol. Guess it just depends what you're looking to do.While I understand wanting to save money - its important to know why your vet is giving a particular med and what it does. Straying from that can have unwanted consequences.

Tylenol is NOT safe for dogs as they metabolize it differently from humans and it will destroy their livers.
Even baby aspirin can cause intestinial bleeds in dogs and should be avoided if at all possible. Most NSAIDS for dogs ARE formulated differently from human meds since dogs digestive systems are so much different from humans and are sensitive to different drug activity.
I would ask your vet to give you a prescription and then order the drugs from some place online like pet med or a place like that.
Perhaps your vet will price match if he knows you are going to order them elsewhere, my vet will do that if you ask for a written prescription.

If you're wanting an anti-inflammatory supplement, I highly recommend giving Traumeel tablets by (Heel). I take these and so do my dogs. My dog had really bad arthritis, so bad that we were fixing to put him down because he could barely walk on his own and when I started giving him Traumeel tablets by (Heel) he can walk and run on all fours with no problem.
Curcumin and yucca are also great supplements that would be great anti-inflammatory supplements. Yucca by Nature's Way and Curcumin by Life Extension are both great products, highly recommend them.

was Tonya's day to work, so she brought Skye for me to play with. We got all the Christmas stuff out and she and Mom took some photos of some of us. Mom was looking thru all her photos and she said she couldn't find hardly any Christmas ones of us. Probably cuz they take photos of those boarding and grooming dogs for their owners over at work... remember the old story of the cobblers children having no shoes??? Well, it's like that around here too. Anyway, Mom didn't have the good flash over at work so she said it wasn't a very good day to do black dogs. She is always complaining about us black dogs...either it's too dark or it's too bright, or something. Skye did get one that she thought was cute so Mom put it on my page. Personally, I thought I looked pretty stupid, maybe even drunk, with my head cocked off to the side like that.
Man, last night I made a very big mistake in Mom's bed!!! She got up to feed Tyson and for some reason, I had to pee really bad, so I did it on her pillow. To confess here, I have been doing that for a few days now but she didn't know it was me until last night. She got very mad and made me sleep the rest of the night in my crate. I can't help it, Winter is dry and it makes me drink more and, as we all know, what goes in comes out!!!! I promised I wouldn't do it tonight... if I do she's gonna take me off to the vets!!! Not fair, not fair at all!!!!!

Public Screening Workshop - Special International Edition of Docs in Progress & NomadsLand.com
When: Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 6:30pm EST
Where: Busboys and Poets DC / 2021 14th St. NW / Washington DC 20009
Tickets: $5
The two winning projects (see below) will be screened in whole. Each rough cut will be discussed and critiqued by a live audience of filmmakers and film aficionados. If the filmmakers cannot make it to Washington DC, they will join in the discussion via Skype.
COMRADES
D: Dean Hamer
Struggling against 5000 years of Confucian tradition and a communist government that views any type of organizing with suspicion, China's gay community is finding a way to fit into the fabric of modern society without hiding who they really are.
CASA (HOUSE)
D: Luis Alaejos / Raúl Díez Alaejos
In what was once the tallest building in all of South America, 1500 neighbors of all social classes co- exist. This is a portrait of the Palacio Salvo and its occupants: artists of little and great renown, recent arrivals attracted by the building's bohemian atmosphere, those who want to leave, but can't, and those who are the ghosts of a building's faded past.
Excerpts from the winning films and the other finalists available at NomadsLand.

“I’ll keep you in my thoughts.”
These comforting words are sometimes substituted for the more typical expression of sympathy and consolation: “I’ll keep you in my prayers.” But what does it mean to keep someone in your thoughts? Should we say such a thing?
I suspect that the reason for the modification is that referring to “thoughts” can seem to be less contentious than referring to “prayers.” The former expresses sympathy, but softens the philosophical and theological baggage tied to “prayers.” After all, prayer is an act of begging. As such, it is directed to someone, namely, God. Since God and religion are treated as essentially private matters in our society, it might seem pushy to bombard a non-believer with promises of prayer. Besides, if the point is to sympathize and to console—to do a kind act to someone in need—then there is no need to get God involved.
But are thoughts adequate for consolation?
Here I would like to refer to the great 19th century critic of Christianity, Friedrich Nietzsche. In his book The Antichrist, Nietzsche offers a somewhat surprising criticism of his contemporaries. He argues that Christianity, which he calls the “religion of pity,” is opposed to what makes human life excel and thrive. His reasoning is simple enough. “Suffering,” he says, “is made contagious by pity.” Pity, according to Nietzsche, preserves what is most miserable in life and acts as a “depressant.” For what is pity but suffering because of someone else’s suffering?
Although I am far from accepting Nietzsche’s criticism, either in whole or part, one must admit that there is some sense to it. What if “pity” were set up as the chief virtue, as Nietzsche claims some of his contemporaries had done? The answer is simple: suffering and destruction would be seen as ends in themselves. In this way, so-called pity would exalt suffering as a good in itself. Nietzsche is right in saying that it is absurd to exalt suffering in this way.
For the Christian especially, sympathetic thoughts are a form of co-suffering. We take on mental and spiritual anguish alongside our friends and neighbors. To the ancient Greeks, true pagans, this is incomprehensible. The tranquility of mind which is the end of the good life seems directly opposed to thoughts which upset and disturb the mind.
But on account of the crucified Galilean, suffering is transformed. It becomes a subordinate and instrumental means of merit. It is not undergone for its own sake, but for the sake of something greater out of charity. Without charity, Christ’s suffering would not be wonderful, it would be sadistic.
As the inheritors of the residue of a Christian culture, we stand in much the same position as those Nieztsche was criticizing. They tried to have it both ways—to preserve the outer shell of Christian morality, while disregarding its distinctive religious claims. Thus, such pity could be easily disparaged by Nieztsche, since the willingness to co-suffer is meaningless apart from Christ.
But in Christ suffering gains an ontological weight. Uniting ourselves to the very Cross of Christ, we “co-suffer with Him” (sympaschomen) that we may be “co-glorified with Him” (syndoxasthōmen) (cf. Romans 8:17).
Now, if the promise of sympathetic thoughts is given as a mere formality, then one could make the gesture without the least thought of Christ. We simply need something nice to say— it would be terribly awkward to say nothing—and so we fill in the blank space with a Hallmark card. But if true consolation is intended by the offering of one’s thoughts, then it turns out that the philosophical and religious presuppositions behind such “thoughts” are even deeper than those behind “prayers,” because compassionate thoughts assume a theology of suffering which is distinctively Christian. If the offer of one’s thoughts in sympathy is to actually mean something in its own right, then this offering must be united with the cross, which alone gives meaning to suffering.
Let us remember that Christ Himself bore us in His thoughts in His agony in Gethsemane, and that He thirsted in hope for our salvation on the Cross. And the Apostle, too, bore the “the daily pressure… of [his] anxiety for all the churches” (2 Cor 11:28). Indeed, such “slight momentary affliction” prepares for us “an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” (2 Cor 4:17).

Boa, 2011,Oil on canvas, 64 x 59"
Devorah Jacoby : Friends, Family and Other Misfits
March 1 – April 15, 2010
Reception for the Artist, Saturday, March 6, 6 to 8pm
Two full years after her last exhibition, Devorah Jacoby advances in both her painterly style and her wry explorations of the complex world that we live in.
Devorah Jacoby’s paintings are psychologically savvy. They expose the multiple layers of human interaction and explore the duality between the need to belong and the desire to be separate. They grapple with real and complex impulses and dynamics found in all relationships. The paintings are both fierce and beautiful, in one presenting a woman stepping over dogs fornicating on the stairs, in another a woman emerging from a roof, with a child on her back, contemplating flight.
There’s humor to Jacoby’s work, strange and dark, while the colors and brushstrokes suggest that her characters are both enchanted and frightened by the world they inhabit.
Inspired by such artists as Marlene Dumas and the Verist portrait painters Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Christian Schad and Egon Schiele, Jacoby’s expression is a painterly one. She moves masterfully between detailed imagery and abstraction, delighting in the process.
Devorah Jacoby, is an abstract / figurative painter. Her sources of inspiration are her own life experiences, nature, and the objects of everyday life that surround her. Color, texture, and patterns also fascinate her and are a characteristic theme that is frequently present in her work.
Ms. Jacoby feels that painting has enabled her to reflect upon her environment with a sensitive perspective, and uses the oil paint's richfullness, versatility,and body to help her with her vision. Before exploring art, Ms. Jacoby worked for many years as a licensed psychotherapist. She now uses this strong psychological background as a foundation for her art.

An exchange I had on numerous occasions from Autumn '92 to Christmas '93. Other person: 'Oooooh, I absolutely love R.E.M.!! I've got both their CDs!!' Me: 'Would that be the R.E.M. who've now released 8 studio albums, then?' Other person: 'Oh.' R.E.M. crawled from the south (specifically the university town of Athens, Georgia) in 1980. Vocalist Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck met in the record store where the latter worked in 1978, and a couple of years later they hooked up with the rhythm section of (in grand teenage style, sworn enemies who'd become best friends) preppie-esque bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry, owner of ...

When my girlfriend asked me why I was writing a review for an R.E.M. album when I've been listening to Pearl Jam all day long, my reply was that this is what my soul desires. It's not a cheesy reply; seriously, this is one of the greatest albums ever released. And you know why? Because it's unknown and pretty obscure. R.E.M. is one of those great American bands that didn't become famous overnight but they managed to build a great fan base as each year went by. What's amazing is that they released 6 albums in less than 6 years during the 1980's.

"Lifes Rich Pageant" (no apostrophe!), REM's fourth studio album after "Murmur", "Reckoning" and "Fables of the Reconstruction" was released on the IRS label in 1986. Guitarist Peter Buck explains the apostrophe-less title as follows: "We all hate apostrophes. Michael insisted and I agreed that there's never been a good rock album that's had an apostrophe in the title." I don't know what Lynne Truss would have to say about that, but seeing as it's REM, I'll forgive them their punctuation sins. This was the first REM album I ever heard, in about 1987.

Back when i was first buying music, i came accross REM's 1994 album 'Monster'. Seeing as how i loved this album to death, i pretty much bought their entire back catalogue (on tape as my battered old stereo didn't have a CD player). This album though is the absolute business. It's hard to imagine a band consistently making a new record every year making great albums year in, year out, but REM did it! This is from 1986, 3 years after making their acclaimed debut record, 'Murmur' (excellent album as well!).

The title's a phrase from Inspector Clouseau (from "A shot in the dark"), but why REM chose it as the title to their fourth album is, like Michael Stipe's vocals at the time, about as clear as mud. It's not, for one thing, a mumbling Clouseau-like collection - it is a rich mix of tracks, though, and contains some of my favourite REM songs. At the time of its release, REM were still a cult band, in the UK at any rate, they were yet to have a chart hit here (that would come with "The one I love" from the album that was to follow "Life's rich pageant"). However, this album did seem to be beckoning towards a more mainstream ... Read the complete review

Upper Susquehanna
Jim Curatolo, Watershed Coordinator for the Upper Susquehanna Coalition, identifies two key components in developing management opportunities within a watershed. One is to have a point person that develops and provides the link between and among a network of interested and involved citizens throughout the watershed and a network of interested governmental agencies. The second is having access to a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Jim, who coordinated the efforts of the Upper Susquehanna Coalition with a broad network of local citizens and local government agencies, sees GIS as a valuable tool for mobilizing activities, pushing projects forward, advocating for funds, and implementing projects throughout the watershed’s 15 counties. Working with area farmers, best management practices were implemented on local farms, reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the Susquehanna River and its tributaries.
To address chronic flooding within the watershed and the associated problems of erosion, habitat loss, and water quality degradation, the Coalition used GIS to gather information about the watershed, track changes over time, and locate potential wetland creation and restoration opportunities. By storing flood waters, wetlands provide for groundwater recharge and slow runoff during storm events.
The resulting wetlands program focuses on creating and restoring wetlands in key locations throughout the watershed. The wetlands provide flood attenuation and improve habitat, water quality, and recreational opportunities. The wetlands program has been successful in completing many projects, including a 40-acre wetland complex in the Seeley Creek watershed among the over 400 acres already constructed. These wetland creation projects also enhance in-stream habitat in the Susquehanna River’s tributaries by helping to dampen high velocity stream flows that tend to erode streambanks.
The Upper Susquehanna Coalition has also been instrumental in developing several watershed management plans. As headwaters of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay, watershed management in the Catatonk and Seeley Creeks benefit downstream water quality beyond their own watersheds. Both plans represent a strategic process to managing flooding, habitat degradation, and streambank erosion. With prioritized projects and opportunities for restoration and protection, these plans not only address water quality within the Catatonk and Seeley Creek watersheds, but address issues that are important for the entire Chesapeake Bay.
This case study appears in Chapter 4 of the Watershed Plans Guidebook.

I thought I'd write one mail about this, rather than duplicate the whole thing to both v1.2.15 and v2.0.5 release announcements. So, ever since this commit: 2009-11-10 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> * src/plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c: acl: Merge group rights if user belongs to more than one. [76ff6831c9ae] The ACLs were being merged, rather than fully replaced, a bit too often. Since this is about merging, the problem could have happened only when using more than one entry in the ACL file. The main problems created by this were: a) If admin wanted to remove some rights from mailboxes in user's private namespace (e.g. symlinked shared mailboxes), they may not have gotten removed. b) When mixing up multiple ACL entries, such as groups/users the more specific entry may not have replaced the previous entry (e.g. group-override may not have worked as expected). The bug happened when two or more ACL entries of same "type" existed. The first entry was handled correctly, but the next ones may have only been adding ACLs rather than replacing them. For example if you had the following ACL file: group=people lrwi user=foo lr user=bar lr So basically everyone in "people" group should have "lrwi" rights, but foo and bar users should have only "lr" rights. If foo and bar didn't belong to people group, everything would work as expected. If they did, then what would happen is: * foo would work correctly, because it was the first entry of user type. * bar would keep "lrwi" rights, because the previous entry (user=foo) was of the same type (both are "user" type), so Dovecot decided to add the rights on top of group=people entry rather than replace them. BTW. The other ACL bug/"feature" of automatically adding admin rights that was fixed in v1.2.15 was already fixed in v2.0.beta2.

Hi, I'm running CentOS 4 in a X86_64 server with dovecot. I've been having some (already reported by others) problems. For example, sometimes - randomly - a mbox file wil get a couple of lines at the beggining of the mbox file (/var/spool/mail/user), before the first From line, and dovecot will complain that that file is not a mbox file. Also, neither sylpheed nor thunderbird would get new mail via imap a second time (I have to kill thunderbird, then run it again so it would give me the new mails). But I'm more concerned by the mbox corruption. so I want to upgrade, but to what? 0.99.14? But in says that dovecot-1.0 is recommended. But it also says -alpha! (not even beta: alpha). There is also a stable branch, but it's not the recommended one (or is it?). Can anyone point me to a stable version that addresses the mbox corruption issue, or if there isn't such a version, any idea of when it will be ready? Thank you. -- Diego.

India is aggressively shopping for nuclear fuel and technology to ramp up its energy production. What does it mean in terms of cost, technology and safety?
Patriarch of the nuclear family: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (Credit: REUTERS) India's desperate pursuit of nuclear energy will be expensive and risky. Small wonder industry wants to dilute its liability Commission.
The first phase envisaged setting up pressurized heavy water reactors and running them on uranium available in the country. In the process some of the uranium gets converted into plutonium, which is recovered from the spent fuel.
In the second stage, fast breeder reactors use a mix of recovered plutonium and depleted uranium. A blanket of thorium is put around the reactor, and some of it converts into uranium, which is extracted. In the third stage, uranium converted from thorium is used to fuel power plants. India is entering the second stage and it will take at least 20 years before it can generate electricity by using thorium. Reactors running on thorium are yet to be developed.
But setting energy targets is easier than meeting them. Even if India gets uranium immediately and overcomes the fear Chernobyl and Three Mile Island accidents evoke, several bottlenecks remain. Long timeframes and delays are one. Nuclear energy is capital-intensive and delays result in cost overruns, making it even more expensive..
Even in countries India is looking to for cooperation nuclear projects are marred by delays. In a recent ranking of nuclear utilities in the US, ranking service Moody's ranked the proposed nuclear reactors poorly in terms of viability due to cost overruns.
The second bottleneck is technology. Fast breeder reactors necessary for the second stage of India's nuclear programme are fraught with financial and health risks.
Plutonium used in them is 30,000 times more radioactive than uranium-235 used in heavy water reactors. Fast reactors generate a lot of heat in very small volume and use molten metals, like liquid sodium, to remove the heat. Since sodium burns on contact with air or water, a leak can be dangerous. These reactors are also costly to build and maintain, though they partially solve the problem of disposing of plutonium-rich spent fuel.
Worldwide, fast breeder reactors have been abandoned. The Superphn.
Scientists are working on advanced versions of fast reactors but they are not yet commercially available. "We aren't going to get much on the technical front. Countries would set up reactors on a turnkey basis, but won't give away their technology," said R Ramachandran, member of the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change.
India's logic behind pushing for fast reactors is to be able to convert thorium into uranium. A prototype fast breeder reactor is under construction in Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu.
M V Ramana, physicist at the Princeton University in usa, is not optimistic of its success. "The three-stage nuclear programme was an idea from the 1950s when no one knew that breeder reactors would be a technological failure, expensive and prone to accidents, and that reprocessing would be so costly," he said. "If the country does have to go nuclear, it should stay with heavy and light water reactors."
There is another hurdle.
The US has linked India's access to the enrichment and reprocessing technology, needed for the thorium stage, to signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Australia has also refused to sell uranium to India unless it signed the treaty.
Ultimately, it is economic viability that will determine the success of nuclear energy projects. Financing up-front investment for nuclear plants is a challenge even in industrialized countries.
Nuclear energy in India is being supplied by heavy water reactors. A study by Ramana in 2007 showed the Department of Atomic Energy (dae) heavily subsidizes npcil to provide cheap heavy water (Rs 12,000 per kg). "Atomic energy is unlikely to be economically competitive if the true cost of producing heavy water is taken into account," wrote Ramana. Besides, cost overruns due to delay in construction of nuclear reactor are also borne by dae, and that keeps the price competitive with coal-fired thermal power plants.
Data available for construction of reactors at Kaiga and Rajasthan showed that even with an experience of setting up heavy water reactors, the cost overshot. While Kaiga was estimated to cost over Rs 730 crore, it ended up costing nearly four times (Rs 2,896 crore). The Rajasthan reactor was estimated at Rs 711 crore and cost Rs 2,511 crore. They were delayed by five-six years.
In 2004, dae projected a cost of Rs 3,400 crore for the prototype fast reactor in Kalpakkam and completion by 2010. An untested design, this reactor is unlikely to be finished in time and budget, said Ramana. A former head of dae had also warned of slips in the schedule and cost uncertainty, he added.
Imported reactors are not going to be cheaper. Areva's light water reactors are likely to cost India US $9,000 per kW, said Praful Bidwai, a political analyst and member of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, a national network of over 200 organizations. This is way beyond India's estimate of US $3,000-4,000 per kW, he added.
Managing waste from nuclear reactors is another expensive proposition. Being highly radioactive, the waste needs constant monitoring. The half-life (the period in which radioactivity halves) of plutonium-239 is 24,400 years and that of uranium-235 is 710 million years. Though the economic lifespan of a reactor is only 30-40 years, it remains hazardous for thousands of years. Decommissioning a reactor is costly. "If one is just going to dig a deep hole and put the waste inside it, there will be enough money. But not if you think about monitoring it for the tens of thousands of years," said Ramana. Of the total cost of a reactor, 20 per cent is set aside for waste management, said S Thakur, executive director of npcil.
So what will a unit of electricity produced by nuclear plants cost? A rough estimate is between Rs 4 and Rs 6. This is close to Rs 3-4 per unit by coal plants, but only after including the heavy water subsidy and cost overruns underwritten by dae. Hydel power costs much less and renewable much more (see Cost of Electricity). "Use of imported (cleaner) coal has hiked the cost of thermal energy to Rs 6 a unit," said Ramachandran.
Power sector analyst and member of the Delhi Science Forum, Prabir Purkayastha, estimates nuclear energy will be more expensive. "Without including fuel and operation cost, the cost per unit would be Rs 7 to Rs 8. If we add to this the fuel cost, which is 25 per cent of the cost, it becomes evident that nuclear renaissance is fast disappearing from Western countries and India is the only possible dupe for the West," he said (see Who is building reactors?).
Despite these odds the nuclear industry is hopeful of a renaissance. There is more to its optimism than growing energy demand and climate change. It expects the customer nations to dilute its liability in case of a nuclear accident. "We are hoping to see action on nuclear liability legislation that would reduce liability for American companies and allow them to invest in India," US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Robert Blake, told a House committee in June.
India is yet to take a stand on liability; it is drafting the bill governing civil nuclear liability. Many believe the bill, being hastened to please the US, was instrumental in lifting nuclear sanctions.
Nuclear companies will not invest in India unless liability is capped and fixed not on the supplier but on the operator. At present the operator in India is npcil. Areva also made it clear that France will not move ahead on the nuclear agreement unless the civil nuclear liability bill is passed. Although Areva is owned by the government, it is a listed company with private and public shareholders and is run like a private company. "The French government will not bail us out in case of an accident, so we have to insure ourselves through the liability bill," said Patrick Teyssier, marketing and strategy director at Areva.
If Areva gets its nuclear plants insured through an insurance company, the cost of electricity generation can go up three times. According to a report prepared by the Austrian ministry of environment in 2007, if Europe's largest nuclear utility, Electricit de France, were to fully insure its power plants with a private insurer using a liability limit of 420 million (US $610 million), it would pay an insurance premium of 0.019 cents/kWh. But if there is no ceiling in place, the premium would be 5 cents /kWh. This would increase the cost of generation 200 per cent. So nuclear energy is a viable option only if liability is diluted. In other words the risks and costs are passed on to the public. Small wonder former US ambassador to India David Mulford even lobbied for an ordinance in case India could not enact the liability law quickly.
Though the details of the draft are not clear, the bill is said to indemnify the private player so that it does not have to go through what Union Carbide did in the Bhopal gas tragedy. Union Carbide shelled out US $470 million to the victims, while the Indian government estimated losses at US $3 billion.
Speculations are that the bill limits the liability of the operating company to US $450 million as per the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage or even less. India will have to ratify the Convention (see Liability regimes. Damages beyond this amount will be paid by the Indian government. "Why should suppliers go scot-free?" asked Anil Chaudhary of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace. "Everyone involved in the process of producing nuclear energy should be held equally liable," he said.
India's opposition parties, bjp, cpi and cpi(m), said they will oppose the bill if it does not make all parties liable.
Austria, for example, had extended the liability regime to suppliers of equipment and other parties involved in transporting or dealing with nuclear fuel and waste. It did not cap liability either. A public vote in 1978 halted Austria's nuclear programme for lack of a radioactive waste disposal plan.
India Inc also wants a share of the nuclear business and is pushing for limiting liability. Reliance, Tata Power and Larsen and Toubro are interested. At present, private sector is limited to supplying equipment; it cannot have stakes in management. ficci submitted a paper to the government earlier this year recommending legislative and policy changes to allow private participation. The recommendations include fdi in the sector and the liability bill.
The accident at the Chernobyl reactor in Ukraine in 1986 demonstrated that the economic, environmental and health consequences of a nuclear mishap are extremely serious. The unofficial estimated death toll after the Chernobyl mishap was 65,000; damages were worth US $250 billion. Even 10 years after the accident, Ukraine's neighbour Belarus continued to spend over 10 per cent of the state budget to mitigate Chernobyl's effects.
In India, health hazards from nuclear power plants have always been swept under the carpet. In 2007, physicist V Pugazhendhi of the Doctors for Safer Environment released a study on the incidence of auto-immune thyroid disease among women in and around Kalpakkam, where the prototype fast reactor is under construction. It showed the disease affected 24 per cent women within a radius of 5 km from the plant. It reduced to 6 per cent within a 40 km radius and to 0.8 per cent in 400 km.
Of the 5,000 people working at the plant site in Sadras village, very few are from Tamil Nadu, said Suresh Kumar, a resident of Sadras whose brother used to work at the site. People in the area are afraid of exposure to radiation.
The reprocessing plant at the site segregates the spent fuel into plutonium and uranium, and radioactive waste is diluted for disposal in the sea. A retired nuclear scientist from Kalpakkam, requesting anonymity, said uranium and plutonium, which need to be stored in secure underground repositories, are kept in temporary surface facilities at the site. Health surveys conducted by physicist Surendra Gadekar between 1989 and 1991 at the Rawatbhata nuclear plant in Rajasthan showed high incidence of tumours, miscarriages, still births and congenital diseases.
dae denies radiation from nuclear plants is affecting people's health.
Several accidents have also occurred at nuclear plants. Six employees of the Kalpakkam reprocessing plant were exposed to high radiation due to a leak in a safety valve in 2003. This could have led to a major accident. In 1993, failure of steam turbine blades caused a fire at the Narora plant in Uttar Pradesh. It could have partially melted the reactor core where fission takes place.
India's nuclear power producer npcil said there is no reason to worry about safety. "In India we have had 305 reactor-years of safe operation," said S Thakur, npcil's executive director. Reactor-years are the cumulative years for which all reactors in a country have functioned. A UN report in 1993, found occupational hazard in nuclear plants in India was six to eight times the world average. A public interest petition demanding the disclosure of an Atomic Energy Regulatory Board's report on the safety of nuclear power plants was rejected by the Supreme Court in 2004 under government pressure.
Given the risks, how desperately should India pursue nuclear energy? The Planning Commission's energy policy report says India will have to increase its electricity generation more than four times by 2030 to sustain the eight per cent economic growth. The report also observed India's coal reserves will not last more than 45 years. So it is impossible to leave out any energy source. "Just one per cent (of the energy mix) decides between illuminating two million houses and plunging them into darkness," said V S Arunachalam, chairman of the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (cstep) in Bengaluru.
Wind, hydel and biomass cannot contribute more than a fourth of India's future energy need, estimates a report by cstep. Coal, nuclear and solar energy will have to meet the rest of the demand.
The world's uranium reserves are likely to last 80 years, according to the industry body, World Nuclear Association. Solar energy is viable subject to scaling down the price (Rs 20 per unit) and evolving the technology.

the Arunachal Pradesh Water Resources Management Authority Bill, 2006 has been passed by the sixty-member Arunachal Pradesh legislative assembly in its October session. However, it has constituted a committee headed by the secretary, water resources department to look into the discrepancies in the bill.
The act, brought out in haste to prevent an overarching water authority hoisted by the Centre may have adverse consequences for the Arunachal people, civil society members say. The act, they point out, is a complete facsimile of the Maharashtra Water Resources Management Authority Act, 2005. They claim it has incorporated irrelevant sections of the Maharashtra Act, including clauses about clearing pending schemes for irrigation and drought protection already sitting with the state government which are case specific to Maharashtra, a state in the Deccan plains and not applicable to the mountainous rain-rich Arunachal.
The government believes that the act will regulate the state's water resources and encourage development. "Arunachal with its abundant water resources could boost its economy by harnessing all the resources, which would mitigate the perennial flood and erosion problems faced by the neighbouring state of Assam," says minister in charge, Tako Dabi.
Not too many share the enthusiasm of the government. Civil society members like Bamang Anthony of Arunachal Citizen's Rights, an Itanagar-based environmental group says that the bill is shoddy and questions the intentions of the government. They argue that the provisions completely undermine the traditional practice of community ownership of natural resources. The act, in chapter IV, states that once the authority formed under the act notifies it so, no person shall use any water sources without obtaining the entitlement from the respective river basin agency.
The act comes at a time when the Union government has been publicly mulling the creation of a pan-northeast India water authority taking over control of development of the rich Brahmaputra and Barak basins. Arunachal Pradesh has steadfastly opposed such a move, claiming it would take away the state's role in developing its resources. In the past, the two governments have had differences with the Union government pushing the state to bank upon the public sector to build power projects while they preferred to negotiate more favourable contracts with private groups like Reliance Infrastructure Ltd..

Compared to... (contd.)
Colour Chart Comparison
Now we can compare the 6800Z to a few of other cameras, using samples from our test archives we will now compare its image quality to the Nikon Coolpix 990,Canon PowerShot G1 and Sony DSC-S75.
Colour charts are shot in daylight, Auto White Balance, EV compensation +0.3 (all cameras), measured light ~10 EV.
It's a tough call, the 6800Z is definetly stronger in reds but it's pipped by our current colour expert the Sony DSC-S75 which manages to pull nice vivid saturation better out of all the colours in the spectrum.. Here've thrown in the S1 Pro's resolution chart for comparison purposes.
Measurable findings (three measurements taken for each camera):
* with dotted artifacts
Definition of terms:
* Nyquist frequency defined as the highest spatial frequency
where the CCD can still faithfully record
image detail. Beyond the Nyquist frequency aliasing occurs.
Surprising results here, the 6800Z managing to squeeze almost as much resolution out of our chart as its bigger brother the S1 Pro, though that's not to say it does so without introducing some rather funny artifacts which we didn't see on the S1 Pro sample. It's clear by comparing these numerical results with what we've seen in the side-by-side comparison on the previous page that Fujifilm's SuperCCD and processing algorithms are capable of squeezing a little extra detail out of regular patterns (such as the lines on our resolution chart).

One, two, Freddy’s coming for you. Three, four better lock your door. Five, six grab your crucifix. Seven, eight gonna stay up late. Nine, ten never sleep again! That is the famous nursery rhyme from one of the best horror films of all time, A Nightmare on Elm St. The serial killer in the movie was Freddy Krueger and he was created by the very talented Wes Craven. The movie hit theaters back in 1984 and it was the most talked about horror film during the eighties. The actor that played Freddy in all seven films was Robert Englund and I have to say he is probably one of the best serial killer performers that I have ever seen. Not only is he creepy, but he is also very energetic, comical, and ruthless. This tutorial will show you “how to draw Freddy Krueger” step by step. Now Freddy was or is a character that was executed by all the parents that lived on Elm St. because he was kidnapping kids and killing them. It was never said if Krueger molested the children or not, just that he was definitely killing neighborhood children. How and where did he tale these children you ask? Well from what the movie explains Freddy would abduct children and then take them to where he worked which was a power plant. He lured the kids into the basement of the power plant and then killed them in the boiler room. He was later arrested and convicted for the murder of twenty children but some how he walked free. Almost every parent on Elm St. conspired to make Krueger pay for his crimes so what they did was set his house on fire and he and the house burned to the ground obviously killing Fred Krueger in the process. Wes Cravens creation of Freddy Krueger was brilliantly done. He made the character with a burnt scared up face, he wore a dingy brown fedora hat, his famous red and green striped sweater, and his notorious killing tool; a glove that was made by Krueger that had elongated razor sharp knives that he controlled with his fingers. His whole purpose in the movie is to get revenge on the towns people by killing off their children. Now it is said that Krueger was born to a nun named “Sister Mary Helena” or Amanda Krueger. She was rapped by one hundred maniacs and her basted child was the result of her rap. Anyways, I’m done talking about children dying and nuns being rapped, I just want to show you “how to draw Freddy Krueger step by step“. Have fun ya’ll and peace out. I will be back in a bit.

Yes, I admit it, and I’m not even Scottish. But I only love the real thing, and that is a sheep’s stomach stuffed with sheep offals, onions, oatmal, suet and spices. Well, I’ll make the concession that a plastic wrapper might be an acceptable substitute for the stomach on less formal occasions than Burns Supper, also smaller sausage-like versions are alright. But that’s about all I can concede.
But the traditional haggis is under perpetual threat from many directions. Here is a selection of what people have done to the national dish of Scotland:
1. Messing Around With the Ingredients
This is the most commonly practiced adulteration. I’m afraid to say that it seems like there is actually more faux haggis adorning the shelves of butchers and supermarkets than proper specimens.
I admit that some might feel mildly nauseous when confronted with the truth behind real haggis. But if you can’t take it, you’d better leave it. Please don’t try to substitute the yucky sheep stuff with pork or beef. Have a steak instead, or meat balls, it’s going to taste better. But at the very least, please don’t call it haggis.
2. Vegetarian Haggis
What’s a veggie going to have on Burns Night? Tough question. OK, I see that you don’t want to be left out of the fun. But is faking really the answer? Aren’t there other things that go well with neeps’n tatties and can profit from a good helping of whisky sauce? Be a little creative!
3. Haggis Pizza
Take a pizza Margherita and sprinkle some haggis on top before baking. Gross? You bet! I love pizza almost as much as I love haggis, but the combination of both is just perverted. Sheep lungs with mozzarella di bufalo and extra garlic? Pass the grappa please.
4. Haggis Crisps
British snack producers are probably the most creative of the world when it comes to flavours for crisps. Roastbeef, prawn cocktail, you name it, it’s all been done before. So it was only a matter of time until the Scots favourite staple was to be addressed. Is it good or bad news that the list of ingriedients boasts “natural pork flavouring”? Decide for yourselves. (I would love to try them anyway, but don’t tell anybody…)
5. Haggis Chocolate
Nadia Ellingham from Edinburgh invented this treat. I have to admit that even I as a haggis purist thought this idea had some peculiar charm to it. But I had to find out that only the haggis spices are used. No sheep were hurt during of the production of these chocolates. Skip.
6. Haggis Ice Cream
Morelli’s in Harrods Food Hall is supposed to serve ice cream made with proper haggis ingredients. Call me old-fashioned, but for me haggis is a winter warmer and not a summer freezer. But at least serve it in bowls, please, to allow adding generous measures of whisky sauce.
Now I need a dram.

Followup: Actually the final kick for publishing this post was the report of Clootie Dumplings being made “fit for the 21st century” that was published on the ScotFest Blog on tuesday. But I have always wanted to write about the assorted haggis weirdness anyway.

The charge of the priests and of the Levites, and their portion.
[1] And the Lord said to Aaron: Thou, and thy sons, and thy father' s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the sins of your priesthood.
[2] And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.
[3] And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.
[4] But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.
[5] Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.
[1] And thy father's house with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: That is, you shall be punished if, through negligence or want of due attention, you err in the discharge of the sacred functions for which you were ordained.
[6] I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.
[7] But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.
.
[11] But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
[12] All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.
[13] All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
[14] Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
,
[16] And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
[17] But the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
[18] But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
.
[20] And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
[19] A covenant of salt: It is a proverbial expression, signifying a covenant not to be altered or corrupted; as salt is used to keep things from corruption; a covenant perpetual, like that by which it was appointed, that salt should be used in every sacrifice. Lev. 2.

The 'Visual Programming' Silver Bullet
App Inventor is a tool from Google Labs that is intended to make it easy for non-programmers to create mobile applications for Android-powered devices. What's missing in this is the word "good", as in " make it easy for non-programmers to create good mobile applications."
Not that you need a degree in computer science or mathematics to create mobile apps, but it does help at times. Far too often, as reader James Kosin correctly points out, "easy" translates too easily to sloppy and bloated, as in code I write. But then high-level tools like App Inventor are supposed to prevent that as well.
Instead of writing code with App Inventor, you visually design the way the app looks and use "blocks" to specify the app's behavior. Blocks are available for storing information, repeating actions, and performing actions under certain conditions. Even blocks to talk to services like Twitter.
The concept of blocks that encapsulate functionality isn't anything new. LEGOs MindStorm, for instance, implements similar functionality but in "bricks." Similarly, Apple Computer, led by Smalltalk guru Dan Ingalls, developed Fabrik ("Fa-brick," get it?), a kit of computational and UI components that you "wire" together to build new components and applications.
And when your talking about visual programming with blocks, you should, as Ron Martin reminded me, mention what is probably the most mature such system -- LabVIEW.
The blocks editor that App Inventor uses is the Open Blocks Java library for creating visual block programming languages. Open Blocks is distributed by the MIT and derives from thesis research by Ricarose Roque. OpenBlocks lets developers build their own graphical block programming systems by specifying a single XML file..
When it comes to software development, there's something gripping about the word "visual". It's routinely used in instances that are not visual in any sense of the word, although some uses are more visual than others. One of the true visual programming languages is Cube developed by Marc Najork. As Marc has pointed out, "a true visual-programming language can be considered 'executable graphics,' with no hidden text." So is App Inventor a true visual language that will enable programming for non-programmers? That remainds to be seen. What do you think?

How to Generate a Tree-Building Parser in Java using JJTree
JavaCC is a parser-generator for Java. JJTree augments JavaCC: it makes the generated parser build a syntax tree, without you having to program the tree-building yourself. I once wrote an Introduction to JJTree; and I've just had an email requesting a JJTree example with which a complete beginner could get started. So I decided to blog one. It shows you how to generate a tree-building parser for a language of simple arithmetic expressions.

Introducing C++ Order Relations
The C++ library facilities for sorting, binary searching, and ordered containers work only on types with appropriate order relations defined on them. For example, if
v has type
vector<T>, and we wish to call
sort(v.begin(), v.end()), the call will work properly only if
T has an appropriately defined
operator<. If there is an appropriate operation with a different name, such as
compare, we could call
sort(v.begin(), v.end(), compare) instead. Either way, the operation has to be appropriately defined.
Because the built-in numeric types, along with the standard string and container types, define appropriate operations, C++ programmers can go a long time without having to know just what it takes to define such an operation. Over the next few weeks, I intend to discuss some of the subtleties involved in doing so.
Perhaps the most important aspect to remember about C++ order relations is that the parts of the library that expect them expect only a single relation. In other words, when you call
sort, sort needs to know only how to look at two values
a and
b and answer the yes-or-no question: Should
a precede
b according to the given ordering? Asking this question is analogous to asking whether
a<b, except that the operation need not be spelled as
<. So, for example, when we call
sort(v.begin(), v.end(), compare), we are saying that the function named
compare will be used to say whether
a precedes
b.
Because
sort's caller need supply only a single operation, the code inside
sort itself never compares two elements directly for equality or inequality. Instead, any equality test comes about only as a consequence of calling
<, or
compare, or whatever its name might be.
At this point, I could continue by explaining the rules surrounding order relations. Instead of doing that, however, I'd like to take a step back and think about what properties an order relation needs to have in order to be useful for sorting.
The most important such property is that after a sequence has been sorted, the order of its elements must conform to the definition of
<. In particular, if
a precedes
b in the sequence, then
b<a must be false. By implication,
a<a must be false for all values of
a. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sort a two-element sequence both of whose elements had value
a. We can describe this requirement by saying that
< must be irreflexive.
For similar reasons,
a<b and
b< a must never both be true. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sort a two-element sequence with
a and
b as its two values. By implication, for any two values
a and
b, either
a<b is true,
b<a is true, or
a<b and
b<a are both false. We can describe this requirement by saying that
< must be antisymmetric.
Whenever
a<b is true,
a will precede
b in any ordering — that's the meaning of
a<b. As a result, if
a<b and
b<c are both true, then
a must precede
b and
b must precede
c. As a result,
a must precede
c, from which we can infer that
a<c ought to be true as well. Indeed, the C++ library requires this property: Whenever
a<b and
b<c are both true,
a<c must be true as well. We can describe this requirement by saying that
< must be transitive.
Let's abbreviate the state of affairs in which
a<b and
b<a are both false by writing
a?b, which we might describe by saying that
a and
b are unordered. Note that for any
a and
b, exactly one of
a<b,
b<a, and
a?b is true. We've already seen that
a?a must be true for any value of
a, and that whenever
a?b is true,
b?a is also true. In other words, unlike
<,
? is both reflexive and symmetric. However, like
<,
? must be transitive: If we don't care whether
a precedes
b, and we don't care whether
b precedes
c, it makes no sense to care whether
a precedes
c.
We can summarize these rules as follows:
- < must be irreflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive.
- If
a<band
b<aare both false, we say that
aand
bare unordered.
- The unordered relation must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Any relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive is called an equivalence relation. Elements that are related by an equivalence relation are not necessary equal, but they share some of the properties of equality.
Exercise:
bool compare(int m, int n) { return abs(m) < abs(n); }
Does this function meet all of the requirements of an order relation? Why or why not?

Mobile messaging firm Clickatell has released its new Connect API intended to give software developers a means of embedding short-message service (SMS) account creation and management functionality into their applications while keeping their users in the application's user interface.
Developers using the system are promised the chance to avoid typical messaging reseller responsibilities and licensing. This is because the billing for messaging is managed by Clickatell directly with the end user. Additionally, Clickatell claims to alleviate support responsibilities for messaging services by handling all inquiries with the end users directly.
.
As the world's largest online SMS mobile messaging service, Clickatell's messaging gateway allows its customers to send messages to almost any mobile phone in the world across over 900 mobile networks in more than 220 countries and territories.

Dynamsoft has announced the availability of its new ImageCapture Suite SDK. A combination of its Dynamic Webcam and Dynamic Web TWAIN SDKs in a single suite, this offering is newly optimized to support a much larger range of imaging devices than previously.
The developer proposition here is a single browser plug-in SDK to cover webcams or TWAIN devices, such as scanners. Supported browsers include 32-bit and 64-bit Internet Explorer (IE), Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
Developers are urged to consider ImageCapture Suite as a means of creating online image capturing applications to cover all users' needs. The SDK enables editing and uploading of images to local folders, web servers, FTP sites, SharePoint libraries, and other databases.
"With the myriad of imaging devices available and in use developers require highly efficient and secure software development kits for document imaging and processing applications," said Dynamsoft's Amy Gu.
," she added.
As stated, the SDK represents a bundling of Dynamsoft's Dynamic Webcam SDK and Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK. However, the bundled version includes newly optimized methods and properties for its dual purpose — managing brightness and contrast and other optimized methods such as
AcquireImage,
CloseSource, and
EnableSource.
ImageCapture Suite supports capturing live video streams into a container and grabbing snapshots to be exported to a file / binary. Add-ons include a barcode reader and optical character recognition (OCR). GUI and non-GUI image editors are supported with image editing that includes rotate, crop, and flip. Image downloads and uploads can be done via HTTP / HTTPS or FTP / FTPS. Supported image formats include BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF (multi-page), and PDF (multi-page).

Under $100 gift guide: THE GIRLS
Whether it's your sister, co-worker, best friend, or babysitter—these woman deserve better than the average gift card or bath set. Show them you care this season with some of these unique and fashionable finds...
1. Juicy Couture earmuff headphones: these are cute enough on their own as earmuffs, but the fact that they double as headphones makes them that much more amazing.
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs link bracelet: this bracelet is bold enough to make a statement but classic enough to wear every day, would look great alone or layered up the arm.
3. J.Crew Blythe blouse: I own this blouse in four colors already and am planning on buying it in two more before the holidays (unless Santa is listening... wink, wink!) It is the ultimate basic that any woman's wardrobe would benefit from.
4. Society6 iPhone case: this site literally has thousands of unique and stylish iPhone covers in an array of prints, patterns and designs—the only hard part will be deciding which one to get.
5. Deborah Lippmann metallic nail polish set: I've already professed my love for sparkly nails, and this set of metallics has all the right shades to keep any glamor girl covered for the holidays.
6. Harper's Bazaar: Greatest Hits book: fashion books are my favorite gift to receive because they're great to display and reference for inspiration—and you can never have too many. And since there is no greater fashion authority than Harper's Bazaar (OK, I may be slightly biased, but that doesn't make it any less true), this book should be first on your list!
7. Wool and The Gang DIY scarf kit: almost every girl I know (myself included) wishes they knew how to knit, so what better way to learn than by crafting your own snood with the help of this handy dandy kit?
I love this guide!! Thanks for the tips.

Good list of Facebook pages. I’m starting to do some of the same FMBL things they are doing. Thanks for sharing on sphinn.
I recently saw this page here in Ontario – Thought it was good:
Thanks for this awesome post. now i shall surely implement it on my website to attractive visitors..
Thanks Kevin! You can do pretty neat things with the FBML. For the more interactive experience you have to go with the apps.
Love these examples.
LOL
Of course if we could all use “Victoria’s Secret” ads, we would get plenty of likes
Just starting to learn about FBML and apps to liven up the page.
Thanks for the creative ideas.
Best, Lisa
Fantastic! Thanks a lot
Great examples of amped up FB pages. For companies that use Facebook for marketing, there are some wonderful ideas here for making pages more engaging.
Get your web designer to do a little FBML work and your page can have a big impact, too. (I’m adding that to my own to-do list for)
Awesome collection! All are very unique, fresh, attractive and inspiring.
Victoria’s Secret, Coca Cola, Harley Davidson and Twilight are some of other awesome designs you can add to your list. What say?
Hi Raj! Thanks for your comment. I specifically excluded Coca Cola, Harley Davidson, RedBull and some others. These are already shown in so many places that I thought repeating would be a bit too much..
Hi! Thanks for the comment Brad. Yes, you are right about some pages. I went over all of these and and most of them have some social/sharing/engaging aspect. The least social pages from this selection seem to be: Victoria’s Secret, Gary Vaynerchuk, On Your Own Adventures, Dunkin’ Donuts, Lacoste, and Windows.
Still I think they are OK for getting ideas flowing.
Interesting…..
wow great designs and great inspiration. This reminds me I should do a new design for my facebook page

In response to “Brad Brenner said at 6:53 pm on December 1st, 2010:”.
They are landing pages which means they have been designed to extend the brand and influence people to like the page upon initial contact. People who have ‘liked’ the page more often than not, will never see the landing page again. No long-term value?! If you want to increase your traffic conversion by 30-50%…. use landing pages. By converting traffic, your repeat visitors do not decrease, they increase because you have more people ‘liking’ the page and therefore more fans on the page. Without landing pages your system operates like a leaky bucket that fails to capture a large percentage of traffic.
Agreed, the new marketing paradigm is much more than simply porting old methods to new medium. It needs an advanced understanding of ‘both’ the old and new media.
aesome collection..thanks….
This one was pretty cool:
Thanks, Jay!

Very insightful examples….Thanks for sharing.
Nice pages there! Victoria’s Secret is a classic… The trouble is, most of the big brands have large budgets to burn on Facebook marketing and the small businesses can’t keep up with them. We developed a Facebook page for our business (Big Click) which you can check out here – … It’s only been up for a short time but our ‘likes’ seem to be increasing steadily since revamping it. Having a good page design definitely assists people into ‘liking’ the page.

@JustinRob
Thanks for your comment Justin! I think that building Facebook special tab is relatively simple and while big brands can put relatively better quality promo material on them (studio photos, video clips, etc) then smaller companies can work with design and copy. So, I would say it’s a tie
great list! any chance on adding ours

Preparing for a bolt out of the black.Level of Lucidity:
Lucid Intent? No
This dream has been viewed 5059 times.
Looking at the chunky copper buckle it vaguely reminds me of the ratchet like clasps that are used to secure the tarpaulins on huge articulated 18 wheel trucks. I continue to watch the man finishing of his work and wonder to myself if the man isn’t making these preparations because he is expecting a thunder storm tonight.
Additional Comments:
Interpretation: I was woken up by my wife snoring last night between 2am and 3am, I took the opportunity to memorize all of my dreams up to this point but when I fell back asleep I slept very solidly right through till 7am. Between 2am and 7am it was like I was in a very refreshing void of nothingness, I only hazily recalled a very vague dream about being a child in a group of other children being looked after by a motherly figure, I awoke feeling extremely revitalized and rested. It was strange how all of my dreams seemed to revolve around America last night, each of the three dreams mentioned here were heavily infused with the usual American feeling that accompanies such dreams. I have read that lightening can represent very positive transformation and changes, the house in the dream might represent me I guess and the American/Italian man might represent a combination of pioneer spirit, opportunity and creativity. The dream had a very positive edge to it as did all of the other dreams from this night but it was also tinged with a high tension like the rest of the dreams too. Dream 1: The pinball repair shop – It is late evening time and I find myself in my dream version of America (just like in the previous dream). I am walking some quiet out of the way streets in a rundown part of a city, I cross over a deserted road and enter inside a small bare shop where I meet an older man and woman who are possibly husband and wife and who own and run the store. The interior looks virtually empty and the pastel green paint peels from the walls, the lady immediately starts chatting with me and explains that she and her partner have just managed to sell or rent out a property they own just over on the other side of the street. Apparently a lawyer who is new to the area has moved in to this property in order to open his bureau, the lady seems kind of proud and excited that she has managed to find such a respected and up market tenant. The lady then explains to me that her line of business is in pinball machines and that she and her partner repair them for a living. She takes out some components and places them on a table explaining that they only use original components which they refurbish, these items are scarce and rare but are the simply the best. After the chat I head off out into the empty streets and walk to the centre of the city where the tall skyscrapers are. I pause right in the centre of the city looking up at these immensely tall buildings, some kind of special light show or film show is being projected up onto the skyscrapers effectively using them as a kind of enormous screen. The animation is of a pinball table being played, all of the features are being lit up with all manner of digital displays showing scores, special features etc. Suddenly a message comes up on the gargantuan opaque scoreboard which I realize is for me. The words “Go for the Extra Ball!” pass by from left to right in digitized orange pixels, the message passes by over and over again as if crying out for my attention. Dream 3: My wife embarrasses me at the gym – Daytime and I find myself in my dream version of America again I am heading out to visit a gym, I am aware that my wife is going to be there. I enter the gym and see her sat on an exercise bicycle gossiping with lots of other women, I seem to immediately know that my wife is speaking badly about me and in a negative way to the other women. I walk on over without her noticing and lean against one of the bicycles whilst she continues to gossip about me. She hasn’t noticed me which seems unbelievable considering my proximity, and even when she does see me she just turns and continues to put me down in front of all the other women, this leaves me feeling very upset, hurt and betrayed. I get the impression that she thought I would get fed up of the insults and just leave the gym but I feel adamant to stay and exercise. I sit down on the floor and lace up my running shoes and then walk over to two large glass swinging doors which lead into the room where the treadmills are. When I get into the room though I see lots of business women and men stood around as if they were having a kind of informal meeting or coffee break. It looks like I won’t be able to exercise here after all as the room is booked for something else, I start to become a bit frustrated and annoyed. Suddenly a woman with a masculine parted black haircut comes over to me, I recognize her as an old work colleague, but when I look again I see that I must have been mistaken as it wasn’t her after all (or perhaps she transformed?) but now there is a different woman with much the same lean build, milky white tanned features but now with light blonde hair. The more I look at the woman’s face the more I try to wrack my memory for where I’ve seen or met her before (this was a very lucid tangible moment where my waking self was really struggling to try and figure out where I’d seen this woman before). Unfortunately I just cannot manage to place her face as memorable as it is which is very frustrating (even to me now). The blonde haired woman is the trainer in charge of the treadmills she seems friendly and sympathizes to a degree with my predicament. She asks me “What do you really want?” and “How much longer are you willing to put up with these conditions?” as we converse “2 years” is also mentioned possibly by me. Even though the lady was trying to help I decide I don’t want to talk about this awkward topic any longer and I pull myself away in a irritated by the previous situation with my wife and the not being able to use the treadmills, even before I flounce off out of the gym I start to feel very bad at just walking away from the lady as she was being friendly and was only trying to help me, I never meant to be rude to her.

Working on the site by improving the site navigation menu. I won’t get all of it done this week. I’ll be adding direct links to each town’s topo map/aerial photo page.
Alabama is done with the new menu at the top of the pages. I’ll add more menu updates as I have time.
Thank you for stopping by.
June 13, 2010
Unless you see a post here that a state’s links have been checked, they may or may not work. The links in the menu above are all correct.
19 of 50 states done. I am not counting Texas in the total as it is only one-fifth done. Washington, D.C. didn’t have drive-in movie theaters.
597 articles corrected/checked; 762 left to go.
All pages for Maine Drive-Ins now have correct links.
New Katrina damage photos. January and March, 2009 Some changes, some still the same.
Warning: I don’t send from this account using form mail, if you receive form mail from me, please delete it. Its a forgery attempt.
This is where I am moving my Drive-in movie theater site to.
The original site will stay up until I have moved all of it here; however, as I correct links on pages I will delete them from the old site.
I have found that the old terraserver site has changed urls.
I am changing them, but I wont get it done this weekend. So if you try a link and it has terraserver in it change everything in the terraserver url from the .com back to the double slash in the url to msrmaps.com
So would become
A few more done. I updated and checked all links on the 2 open drive-in pages and the links page. Going to rest my eyes, so that is it for the day.
Thank you for stopping by.

The world is changing at a fast pace and to keep up with this pace, we tend to adopt several unhealthy lifestyle habits and this can have many adverse consequences on our health. Being overweight is one problem that is related largely to the unhealthy lifestyle that we lead and our unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise aggravates the situation. Sometimes, obesity and being overweight can also be hereditary, but what is a regular feature with people who are overweight, is that they tend to suffer from several types of medical condition, which can sometimes even turn life threatening. There are several ways through which one can lose weight; in fact if you switch on the television or open a newspaper you will literally be bombarded with all the ads that claim to reduce weight magically.
Some of the claims at times come out to be true, but most of the times you will end up feeling frustrated as you will not lose any weight, rather you will end up losing lots of money in the process. If you are serious about losing weight, you must go for a stomach band surgery. Stomach band is a surgical process of losing weight and this is turning out to be hugely popular among the people as this is a very successful method of losing weight. For a stomach band surgery a person must be above the age of eighteen years and below the age of sixty two years. Also, a person can undergo the gastric band surgery only if all the other methods of reducing weight have failed. The person must be overweight for more than 5 years to be eligible to undergo a stomach band surgery.
The idea behind the gastric band is to reduce the size of the stomach so that the food intake is reduced, which in turn will help a person in reducing weight. In gastric band surgery a band is placed around the top portion of the stomach so that the stomach gets divided into two parts. Generally an adjustable stomach band is used for this weight loss surgery and that can be either tightened or loosened depending on the need. These adjustments can be made by pumping saline in or out of the inner rubber present within the ring through a reservoir and access port that is inserted just under the skin of the patient during the surgery itself.
When the size of the stomach is reduced by using the band, the food gets deposited in that small portion only and the person gets the feeling of being filled up after eating a very small portion of food. The signal which is transmitted to the brain is that the hunger has been satiated and thus the patient ends up eating a lesser portion of food. One needs to take care of the diet that they have after the surgery, if they want this method of weight reduction to be successful. The patient must strictly follow whatever the doctor has advised him or her to do.
About the Author: He advises obese people about the best methods of reducing weight depending on their health and body condition. One of the reference sites he mentions regularly for information about weight loss surgery,Stomach band is

. If you use a cage with a mesh bottom, cover a portion of it with fabric or a piece of wood to prevent foot injuries. Plus, if you keep your pet outdoors, be sure to bring him in during the cold months.

Salvia divinorum - aka the ‘YouTube drug’ - is banned in many countries around the world, but not in Britain. Is it as harmless as its users claim? By Philip Sherwell ‘bong’ to those in the know). He breathes in deeply, taking a lung-full of smoke. ‘alternative’ lifestyle and, as he puts it, still ‘open. ‘What we are witnessing is no less than the world’s first internet-driven drugs explosion,’ says Dr John Mendelson, a San Francisco-based clinical pharmacologist who is conducting medical trials into how the drug works on the brain.
A video of ‘Ashley’, a young red-haired American woman, sitting on a patch of grass, laughing wildly, and wearing a perplexed look on her face has been viewed more than two million times. As she grabs at her mouth, ‘Ashley’ mutters to her friends: ‘I can’t control it. My mouth is going to fall out.’ The site also encourages people to comment on the videos and many take this opportunity to describe their own experiences. ‘I took a large hit the other night from my bong,’ says a user in response to Lee Hogan’s video. ‘ ‘10x concentrate’ is 10 times the potency of the unprocessed leaf. Prices for a gram on one British website range from £10 for the 5x extract to £35 for the 50x extract. In return, the website promises a whole range of ‘, ‘most mind-bending, totally bizzarest, weirdest, strangest experience I have ever had’. It’s difficult, he says, to explain the impact that the herb had on his brain. ‘I was pulled to my right, into the brain-curve-warp-swirl tunnel is the best I can describe it,’ he says. ‘My brain, reality as we know it and everything else just sort of fused together and became this swirling tunnel. Endless, infinite. Speaking becomes very difficult, almost impossible.’
In a nod to some kind of ‘code. ‘I am very concerned about the use and misuse of Salvia divinorum because it contains an active ingredient that can trigger hallucinations,’ says Professor Fabrizio Schifano, an expert in drug addiction based at the University of Hertfordshire. ‘For. ‘A few months earlier, one of his cousins had told me that he was smoking some weird herb,’ she recalls. ‘I looked through his computer history and found that he had been going online to buy salvia.

At the end the handwriting went ‘weird and sloppy’ as he signed off: ‘How could I go on living once I had learned the secrets of life?’ The medical examiner subsequently listed salvia as a contributory factor on his death certificate. ‘A psychologist who analysed the suicide note told us that he was under the influence of a drug when he wrote it,’ his mother said.

It feels in part like a near-death experience but that can also be a blissful experience.’
Such praise for the drug does not impress Prof Schifano: ‘Salvia is not some innocuous drug,’ he says. ‘We should be very concerned about the potential for psychotic episodes.’ For Kathy Chidester, the experience is deeply, sadly personal. ‘My sincere hope,’ she tells me, ‘is that no other family will ever have salvia involved in the death
of their child or loved one.’

If You Hate to Clean Showers...
By Amanda
from Chicago
describe yourself Casual Cleaner
I HATE to clean the shower but this is nearly revolutionary. In 7 months I've yet to find any mildew or other junk between the tiles or in any nooks and crannies. You know how there's almost always at least some build-up underneath the soap holder? None! (just make sure you spray some Tilex there)
Can't Praise This Product Enough
By JennieB
from Florida
Fresh and clean is a miracle cleaner. I started using it on newly installed glass shower doors and then used it on old and badly marked old shower doors. The old doors are now almost crystal clear. The new doors remain perfect. Wish this product had been around when the old shower doors were installed 20 years ago.. Can't say praise it highly enough.
Soaking Tubs
By Marjorie not meticulous
from Vermont
I like to take bathes. I do NOT like to scrub bath tubs. Tilex works on a tub as well as a shower. I just let the tub empty, spritz it with the hand shower first, then use the Tilex. Honestly I forget I do it, come into the bathroom and hour later, and you think some one has recently cleaned the tub.
excellent product
By nyitaly
from New YOok, NY
Have used this product for several years after learning about it from a friend.
Keeps the shower cleaner
By carak2000
from New York, NY
If you spritz this all around the shower after you are finished, you will keep the shower cleaner in between more serious scrubbings. This product definitely allows for there to be more time in between serious cleanings.
Surprisingly effective
By Nayana
from Sunnyvale, CA
I got this product, because I have a horrible time trying to keep the old shower doors clean in our rented apartment. I started using the spray on a 'dirty' shower, just to see how well it worked. After a few days, I noticed gunk piling up on the lower half of the shower. The next time I showered, I just wiped these buildups with a sponge and the shower has been clean ever since. We have a problem with mildew buildup around our tub, but this product has so far reduced the extent of that problem.
Easy cleaning
By fire guy
from Dallas, Texas
Good for daily use to keep the shower clean but a once a week complete clean is needed as the product does leave a soapy residue if you do not get a cloth and wash the shower down at least once a week. Good fast way to assure a clean mildew free shower from daily use. May streak glass enclosures closer to the bottom but still looks good.

If your shower is clean to begin with...
By Guy
from Somewhere, PA
describe yourself Renter
...this will definitely keep it clean. The only downside is that a bottle only lasts about about a month or so. Still, it's cheaper than hiring a cleaner, and less backbreaking than cleaning your shower.

If your shower isn't ...
By Elyse W
from Santa Barbara, CA
If your shower isn't completely clean before using this, this isn't worth using. It does stop water spots on the shower glass door, however. And the fragrance is nice.

01 - Ronson
Created way back in late 2002, Duck and Quail was a short lived community comic that told the story of the site's "Drunk Duck" character and his pal Quail.
The first strip was done by Ronson/Chuck Rowles the creator of the "The Gods of ArrKelaan" comic.

Chernobog at 4:53PM, June 13, 2011
You know, I just saw Skool bring this comic up in mentioning on the forums. I guess that's related.
VegaX at 3:59PM, June 13, 2011
It was short lived mainly because not many people made strips for it. So the project kinda died unfortunately. Perhaps it would be fun to start it up again?
Ice 9 at 3:57PM, June 13, 2011
Got to question why it was short lived. You got to love the duck right.

As far as Ive seen most modern comic sites allow you to change to the next page by hitting the right arrow on the keyboard. Which is alot moe comfortable when reading a large archive, or in general.
I suggest you get that going on drunkduck too, I mean if everyone else can do it it shouldn't be a huge issue?

Bautista to have season ending surgery:
I just hope he will be 100% come spring training. Jays can't lose his bat.
Who knows though... Bautista was not a major power hitter all of his career, nor is his body style all big and juiced up... In fact he wasn't a regular until he joined the Jays... So I'd say he shouldn't be worn out at all by 35...
Actually...I did your first few points: We didn't expect this from out dude, we should be replaceable with something close.--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
Ricky Romero just can't catch a break... for once he doesnt suck, 7IP only 2ER, 2BB, yet the Jays can't score and they lose 2-1...
Jays won 2 out of 3 vs the Yanks... First and only series win in August... Yup, that's how bad this month was... Could have swept them really, if they only had scored a couple more runs in the 2nd game...
Looks like the roof is stuck at the Rogers Centre. Oddly, it was closed when they started, opened during the game, now they are attempting to close it again.Not sure if they forgot, but you need to wait 2 hours between opening/closing.Rain is coming down HARD! LOL. Fire the weather man! Fire the crew that decided to open this beast!--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
Actually, I am quite surprised with all the umbrella's that are up. Not surprised in the way people would have them, since it was a rainy day. Just weird seeing them at the SkyDome.--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
Jays swept the Red Sox this weekend...Team looked much better in having Lawrie & Arencibia back....Red Sox are now last in the AL East. Lets hope they finish there.--GO BLUE JAYS!
Red Sox are hurting right now. Almost as bad as the Jays.Wouldn't be surprised if Bobby V. does't make it to Tuesday game.--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
If they haven't fired him by now, I don't think they will... If anything, he might just resign... Managers have been known to resign with even a few games left, when the pressure of a terrible season is just too much to bear to just keep coming out on the field and make decisions that you know don't matter and that they wont be back for next year.

Yikes...
quote:Blue Jays Yunel Escobar played game with homophobic slur written across eyeblack Saturdays game against the Boston Red Sox with the Spanish words TU ERE MARICON written on an eyeblack sticker, a black patch baseball players wear under their eyes to reduce the suns glare.The phrases most common English translation is You are a faggot. Other translations are less explicitly homophobic, but more of an emasculating insult.A league spokesman told the Star via email they are looking into the matter.»···ye-black
I was wondering what Escobar meant by putting that on his face. The translation isn't 100% clear, at least on the meaning and intent. It has several meanings: You're calling someone a faggot, it can also mean jerk or *sshole. It can also question a guys 'manhood', sort of the way Arnold Schwarzenegger calls weak men "girly man".Escobar is an idiot for getting himself into the spotlight this way. However, it goes to show just how far our political correctness has gone. This picture apparently was taken by a season ticket holder who posted it on his site. At some point, he noticed the wording and looked it up and "just had to say something". No one else noticed it. But now it has made international news. Some people need to learn to STFU.Of course, I don't condone Yunel's actions. And it's a good thing the organization is distancing themselves from his stupidity.For the edit: When I was in school (and it wasn't that long ago..although 20 years +) calling someone a "fag" didn't always mean something homophobic. It was always in the context. You messed up, "You're such a fag!" You ratted on a student "Faggot!". It wasn't until maybe grade 8 or so that it started to become homophobic slang.Since Escobar is Cuban I'm trying to find how that worded is used in context in that country. It does refer to a 'gay' person but in a non-derogatory way. (so as far as I read)--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
Escobar is an idiot for getting himself into the spotlight this way. However, it goes to show just how far our political correctness has gone.
Not sure if you listened to the press conference, but the Blue Jays should have decided punishment AFTER the press conference rather than before. This press conference was an embarrassment to the organization and Rogers. A complete PR disaster. Alex tried to smooth things over but it is clear that Escobar should be given his walking papers. Just release him. During the conference I was thinking "It is me, or is he just digging himself a massive hole"...it was cut short because the Fan590 had to put on Vacation Bob, but he got right into this whole Escobar thing. He was totally shocked with the way Yunel handled himself. Certainly didn't help that Escobar refused to answer anything in english but rather hid behind his native language. It got worse when he wouldn't/couldn't explain why he did it, then went out to say "I have gay friends".It was a "wow" moment.

reply to Sweettxchick
sorry i posted the sprint coverage map and not the tower map..here is the tower map.»network.sprint.com/search/75603/
reply to Sweettxchick It looks like you are on 3G, that is great speed for 3G, should you be getting 4G? If not, that is much higher for 3G than most people get, that pingtest looks really good too.
If that is great speeds for Sprint network then i think I will just switch to the Verizon plan that millenicom has. 2mb down speed equals like 200kBps..with Verizon i was getting speeds of more than 8mb down (which would equal solid 1.5MBps download speed and downloaded about 3GB of info in about 15 minutes. For the same amount of info at the speeds im getting now it will take like 5hrs or more and use tons of internet bandwidth.) Also on the Verizon hotspot when i played WoW my latency was around 150, I have yet to try it while using Sprint
Lakeport huh, I used to work out at the gregg county airport.You really do need to get on the verizon plan. I had sprint and verizon at the same time to test them out and sprint was horrible. Especially for online gaming. For good latency, consistency is even better than seeing some high speeds. High speeds are nice, but if they fluctuate non stop that will ruin your latency in any game. I play WoW as well, and am on the Verizon network.

"The demand for our services has increased over the past three years. For example, we have seen a 35 percent increase in the number of food stamp cases statewide from 2007 to 2010," Nichols said. "Our current office structure and business processes cannot continue to meet the needs of Louisiana residents. We must adapt to current and future budget pressures and the growing need of our clients and modernize our delivery system in order to sustain our services."
Nichols said DSS has 165 offices in parishes across the state with multiple office locations in many parishes. This costs the agency approximately $27.6 million annually in rent and leases alone.
"Currently, some clients must visit two or three different office locations to get the services and information they need from DSS. This wastes our clients' time and transportation resources and poses an unnecessary cost to taxpayers," said Nichols.
As part of DSS' new plan, the agency will consolidate 20 parish and regional offices. Following the consolidations, residents in these areas will have the option to conduct DSS business by phone or Internet without ever having to visit a physical office. Clients would also be able to visit another DSS office or utilize DSS community partner sites.
The offices that will be consolidated by July 1 are either family assistance or regional offices that have month-to-month leases, do not provide direct client services or are in close proximity to other DSS office locations in the same or adjacent parishes.
Nichols said that the focus of the agency's plan is on improving customer service and making it easier for clients to apply for the services by eliminating the need for clients to physically visit an office. DSS has already instated a phone interview process for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps), with plans for a call center and an online application to be active in late summer. Eventually clients will be able to access their case records electronically. Through these three main service points, clients will be able to access services by phone or from any computer with Internet access.
To supplement this service delivery model, DSS is partnering with local community organizations that serve similar client populations. The purpose of the Community Partnership Initiative is to create a collaborative network of regional and community organizations that can assist clients with varying levels of support, from simply providing information about DSS services to guiding clients through the application process.
There are many different ways in which community organizations can choose to partner with DSS. A community partner may choose to be a self-service point of access or an assisted point of access. Self-service sites will provide basic information regarding DSS Services, access to equipment such as Internet capable computers, telephones, fax machines, printers or scanners. Alternately, community partners may choose to provide a higher level of service including confidential space for customers to complete the application for benefits. They also may encourage or assist clients in filing of the online application for benefits. In each case, it is up to the community partner to decide which level of service they would like to provide.
Community partners will not determine eligibility for DSS program benefits. DSS will continue to be responsible for processing all applications completed at a community partner site. This includes interviewing the applicant, determining eligibility for benefits, and notifying applicants of the decision.
Ultimately, DSS' new model of service delivery will include a statewide network of community partners, satellite offices, other state agency offices, roving workers, DSS District Service Centers and access via phone and Internet, which will provide multiple options for accessing services within each community to meet the individual needs of clients.

The best Guinness this side of the pond. Period.
The Dublin House is a real, New York City, Irish, neighborhood bar. Been around since before Prohibition, and located on the Upper West Side, 79th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam, it is literally and figuratively a historical landmark. It was the first thing sailors saw after docking at the 79th Street boat basin.
Back in the day, people stopped in for a couple before work, so the Dublin House has always opened at 8am. Always has, still does, every day except Sunday when it opens at noon - closes at 4am seven days a week.
VOTED #2 DIVE BAR ON AOL'S
A Brief History
An Irish guy named Carway first rented the Dublin House in 1921 from its then-owners, whose previous tenant was an orphanage. Prohibition had started two years earlier, so from the outside it looked like a residence, but thanks to certain business arrangements with the local authorities, inside it was a full bar and restaurant. The first floor was the bar, the second floor the restaurant, the back of the third floor was the kitchen, and a dumb waiter operated where the phone booth currently is.
Carway bought the whole building in 1933 after Prohibition ended and immediately affixed the Dublin House's iconic neon harp to the facade. The bar remained family-owned and operated for the next 85 years - Carway's nephew Chris Water took over in mid-stream - until Mike Cormican bought it in 2006. Mike is Dublin House family: one, he's Irish, as in "born in Ireland," and two, most importantly, he's been the Dublin House's main bartender for 16 years, working six nights a week, behind the stick, walking the planks.

A New Hampshire folk singer has a standing date with Amazing Grace Bakery & Café: Bill Staines always plays a show at the Canal Park venue on the Thursday before the last Saturday in February.
It’s been that way since the café opened in 1995.
“I’m drawn to one place and play every year until they won’t have me anymore,” Staines said.
The prolific singer came of age in the thick of the Mitchell-Garfunkel-Baez era in Boston and is a heavy touring singer-songwriter known for his upside-down guitar playing, yodeling and depth of catalogue.
He’s been heard on “A Prairie Home Companion” and the HBO series “Deadwood.”
Mostly he lives the old-school folk singer lifestyle, traveling around the country in his Jeep and playing 150-200 shows a year at coffee shops, festivals, auditoriums and living rooms.
“I’ve played one place in Massachusetts for 43 years in a row,” Staines said. “Who’s going to be the evil demon that says we can’t hire Bill next year?”
Playing Duluth
Staines said he was contacted by late owner Chip Stewart back when the café started booking music. Once Staines finds a place he likes, he likes to double back to it, he said.
Staines’ regular Duluth stop became a natural extension of an annual three-day stand in Minneapolis the last weekend in February. The details of his Minneapolis show have changed over the years, but the Amazing Grace gig remains set.
“Oh, it’s great,” Staines said. “It’s a very intimate crowd. The atmosphere — it’s like playing in your living room almost. People are really warm and it’s usually brutally cold outside. It’s just a very warm feeling.”
John Ward and Lori Hatten have worked as sound techs around town and were on board when Staines started playing his regular gigs at Amazing Grace.
“I’ve seen almost all of them,” Ward said. “He’s the consummate Americana singer-songwriter. He just weaves great stories. His songs are memorable and thematic. They have a kind of Western feel, which is unusual because he’s from the Northeast.”
February has become the time of year when Staines books shows in Chicago, Wisconsin, Duluth and Minneapolis. He played Tuesday at Edison Club in Antigo, Wis., and on Wednesday was en route to a show at Bo Diddley’s Pub & Deli in St. Cloud, Minn. From Duluth he will travel St. Peter, Minn.
Staines estimates that he travels 65,000 miles per year by car.
“It’s the only thing I’ve ever known,” he said of the lifestyle.
On Wednesday, Staines’ road companion was a recording of Jack London’s “Call of the Wild.”
Staines’ career
Staines once held a traditional job. He worked for Sears Roebuck for four years out of high school. But it was the folk music scene in the local coffee houses that drew him. The Boston-Cambridge area was host to Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Gordon Lightfoot, Art Garfunkel and more — artists who would play in front of a crowd of 90 people.
“It was a great time to grow up in the Boston area,” he said. “I, myself, was playing at the smaller clubs.”
In 1969 he quit his day job and never went back.
“I was immersed in the music,” he said. “It became a snowball effect. Gradually I was touring more and more and then it was 45 years later.”
Staines has written children’s songs, campfire songs and church songs. A News Tribune reviewer described Staines’ live performance in a review of his 2010 album “Old Dogs”:
“It wasn’t his comfortable well-crafted songs about love, cowboys, the road and aging; it wasn’t his pleasant half-sung, half-spoken vocal style; it wasn’t his easy stage manner, interacting with the audience the way only someone who has toured endlessly over the last 40 years could; and it wasn’t even the occasional yodel that graces many performances. It was his guitar playing! It was backwards and upside down. … Staines’ guitar playing seemed so bizarrely achieved that I was glued, so to speak, to the fingerboard during his show.”
His 20th album, “Beneath Some Lucky Star,” was released in fall 2012.

Wisconsin governor schedules 'brat summit' for TuesdayFire up the grill with some nonpartisan charcoal or bipartisan propane. Gov. Scott Walker's brat summit is on.
By: Associated Press report, Associated Press
MADISON — Fire up the grill with some nonpartisan charcoal or bipartisan propane.
Gov. Scott Walker's brat summit is on.
Walker scheduled the informal social cookout for Tuesday afternoon, one week after he easily won a recall election that was sparked largely by initiatives he pushed through the Legislature with little or no bipartisan support.
On the night of his 7-point election win, Walker and his defeated opponent, Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, stressed the need for the two political parties to work together and move the state forward with less acrimony.
Walker's first idea, the brat summit, was a familiar way to break the ice in a state where people love their malted beverages and encased meats.
Democratic leaders in the Senate and Assembly, Sen. Mark Miller of Monona and Rep. Peter Barca of Kenosha, both plan to attend the summit at the governor's mansion.
“I welcome the governor's pledge to govern in a new way and will accept his offer of brats and beer,” Miller said in a statement. “I want to give him the benefit of hospitality that has been extended.”
Democratic Sen. Chris Larson of Milwaukee, one of the most outspoken critics of Walker's agenda, said he would like to go but his wife is working and he has to stay home with his 1-month-old child.
Still, Larson said Walker needs to do more than just down a couple of brats and beers to show he's serious about engaging with Democrats.
“For sure it's a great photo op for him but are we going to sit down and work on jobs?” Larson said. “I'm not interested in getting a brat and a beer, I want to work on creating jobs.”
Larson, a former Milwaukee County supervisor, said Walker took the same tactic after winning election as Milwaukee County executive. He met with supervisors, but there were no shared policy initiatives, roundtables or any attempts to include Democrats, Larson said.
Walker invited both lawmakers, their spouses and two staffers each to the two-hour picnic. There was no word on what type of brats or beer would be served.
Brats, believe it or not, have become entangled in the hyper-partisan environment that engulfed the state since Walker took office. Two alternative brat festivals were organized in Madison last year, featuring locally produced brats, in protest over the World's Largest BratFest.
Brats at that fundraiser over Memorial Day weekend were donated by Johnsonville Sausage, whose executives, family members and employees made campaign contributions to Walker. That connection proved to be unappetizing for some liberals in Madison who organized the alternative festivals that were held for a second year, a week before Walker's recall victory.

How to Identify Ideal M&A Advisors
Whether you’re a Buyer or Seller, successfully completing M&A transactions requires a skilled team of advisors who have negotiating experience, the right temperament to deal with many different personalities, and the willingness to listen to you whine and pout.
At the core, a deal is very simple: A Buyer gives a Seller money or some other store of value in exchange for a company. But a deal isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the personalities of the Buyer and Seller. Those personalities are what make completing a deal complicated.
Ideally, your deal advisors should have the following traits:
Depth of correct experience: In addition to being an expert in law, accounting, tax issues, or whatever, make sure the person is an expert in M&A deal-making. The attorney who wrote your will or disputed your property taxes may not be the person to advise you during an M&A transaction.
Confidence and self-assuredness: You need someone who’s willing to challenge you and tell you when you have a bad idea. After all, if your advisor can’t or won’t tell you your idea is bad, how can you know when you legitimately have a good idea?
Challenging you is just half the equation; your advisors should be able to stand up to the other side as well.
Tact and professionalism: Negotiations during the sale of business can often become contentious and frustrating, thus devolving into name- calling and recrimination. An M&A professional should always refrain from letting business decisions and discussions become personal.
Ability to serve as a sounding board: A good advisor should be able hold your hand (figuratively, of course) as you navigate the ambiguities of M&A. You also want an advisor who can offer you a shoulder to cry on when things get difficult or frustrating, an ear to listen when you vent, and a firm hand to slap you back into reality when you need it.
Logic and reason: Negotiating doesn’t mean forcing your will upon the other party. It involves understanding the needs and wants of the other side and working together, in good faith, to craft a mutually beneficial agreement. The ability to reason and logically explain your rationale is a key consideration for an advisor, and someone adept at the Socratic method is ideal.
Calmness: Advisors need to be calm, cool, and collected rather than prone to being overly emotional. Emotions can run hot in mergers and acquisitions.
A company often represents a Seller’s life’s work, and dissecting that through the M&A process often makes Sellers feel open and vulnerable as they look back on mistakes they may have made and how those errors are affecting the proceedings.
Buyers worry about financing and whether they’re making a good buy; a bad acquisition can ruin a career. When you’re in that kind of state, you want calm advisors to rely on.
Creativity: A creative brain is a huge asset for an advisor. There’s more than one way to pull off an M&A deal. If one plan doesn’t work, you want an advisor who can jump in with another idea.
Willingness to negotiate: Deals rarely get done if one side is digging in its heels. Advisors who are willing to negotiate and try different ideas are what often get deals across the finish line.
Perseverance and foresight: A good advisor, especially one of the been there, done that variety, knows that deal-making is often a marathon, not a sprint. The advisor’s ability to see long term, anticipate problems and the other side’s next move, and stick with the deal is an enormous boon to getting deals done.
Consider asking whether a consultant, especially the legal or accounting type, would be willing to work on some sort of flat-fee basis. You can always offer those consultants the long-term relationship in exchange for a lower rate or flat fee now.

There are many great highlights at the La Plata County Fair this year. From baked goods to rabbits, cows to quilts, there is something for the entire family, and don't forget the rides. While at the Fair, your sense of smell begins to picks up the sweet salty-ness of fresh popcorn that over powers the odor of mud on boots and livestock that linger near by.

Dr. Helen Haines of Trent University Oshawa was giving a talk to a first-grade class when the boy asked her the question regarding the supposed end of the world. This made her realize just how widespread the myth that the ancient Maya foresaw the apocalypse on Dec. 21, 2012 had become.
So she chose to give a public lecture at the university in late November, less than a month before the supposed end of the world. The room was packed with people of all ages interested in hearing what the expert had to say about the date, which is fast approaching.
"The Maya never said that the world would come to an end," said Dr. Haines, a specialist in ancient Mayan culture.
The ancient Mayan long-count calendar consisted of days, months, and years. A bak'tun references a cycle of 144,000 days in the calendar.
The date in question is the reference of the 13th bak'tun -- the current cycle or age -- which has been calculated to end on Dec. 21. This also signifies the beginning of a new era, said Dr. Haines.
Some monuments did reference Dec. 21, 2012, but Dr. Haines explained it signified the coming of time, or continuity and stability, not the end of time.
"It never says anything about destruction here," she said.
Authors have come up with various theories. Some say the earth and the sun will align with a black hole at the centre of the universe on Dec. 21. But this is a regular occurrence in the solar cycle, said Dr. Haines.
"The answer is really, it can mean whatever you want it to," she said.
The reference could mean it's the birthday of the current world, or the New Year's Eve for the Mayan calendar, or even the marking of the winter solstice.
But the bottom line is none of the writings from the ancient Maya say anything about the world ending on Dec. 21, 2012. In fact the Maya of the current world are a little annoyed that their ancestors are being accused of predicting the apocalypse when there's no evidence to back it up, she said.
English major Rebecca Scerbak said she'd heard a lot of different theories on the myth, and was glad to learn she'd see Christmas this year. Her friend Kianna Grant was happy for one thing.
"It makes me feel better that I'll get to see my 18th birthday," she said.

Always-lovely work from Sabrina Malheiros – serving up a sublime blend of Brazilian roots and soulful overtones – a style that's easily made her one of the best artists on the Far Out label over the years! Sabrina's got a family lineage that traces back to Azymuth – and the music here has the similar blend of fusion instrumentation, earthy Brazilian percussion, and soaring American soul that you'll find in the best classics by that group – all with the added special spark that comes from her sweet vocals too! Production and arrangements are by Daniel Venom Maunick, who brings in a slight dose of Incognito soul too – really making for a record that's quite possibly the best we've heard from Sabrina so far – and that's saying a heck of a lot. Titles include "Lirio De Venus", "Bobeira", "Opara", "Candeia", "Fragil", "Can't Hide Love", "Primeira", and "Paranoia". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

A 2CD package of early 70s Leon Haywood albums – Back To Stay and Keep It In The Family – plus bonus singles on each CD! Back To Stay is Leon's first record for 20th Century, and a record that has a smoother soul feel than some of his 60s recordings. The album shows Leon emerging more as a straight soul singer – instead of the singer/instrumentalist he'd appeared as on some of his other albums – and the sound of the tracks is in a sweet LA pop soul mode, similar to some of the other 20th Century albums coming out at the time. Leon arranged and produced – and titles include "La La Song", "One Way Ticket To Loveland", "Make me Yours", and "Long As There's You (I Got Love)". Singles include "I Wanta Do Something Freaky To You", "I Know What Love Is", Believe Half Of What You See" and "Come And Get Yourself Some". On Keep It In The Family, Leon's moving from the rawer soul of his earlier days, but he still hasn't hit the sly LA funk sound of his "Freaky To You" years. The record's a good batch of tracks that show the LA sound of the 60s turning into the smooth slinky one of the 70s – and Gene Page is at hand to handle the arrangements and musical backing for Leon, who produced the record himself. Tracks include "Keep It In The Family", "Long As There's You (I Got Love)", "BMF Beautiful", and "When It Comes Down On You In The Middle Of The Night". Singles include "Don't Push It, Don't Force It (Let It Happen Naturally)", "Who You Been Giving It Up To", "Just Your Fool" and "Consider The Source". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
The third installment in the recently released collection of Lech Majewski films offers the director's most personal film - the autobiographical opera The Roe's Room (1997). Written, composed, and directed by Lech Majewski the work follows cycles of memories while also introducing beautiful, at times hypnotic, abstract imagery.
Similar to Lech Majewski's The Gospel According to Harry(1994) and Glass Lips (2007) his The Roe's Room is very much an experimental feature where minimalism and symbolism are key ingredients. This time around, however, a collage of personal recollections is apparently the instigator for the unusually beautifully scripted opera.
Relying on simple but effective harmonies to achieve a calming, near meditative, feel for his work Majewski accomplishes a sense of serenity that remains with the audience until the final credits roll. Scene after scene the camera's careful observation of the main protagonists is what drives the tempo of the opera - there aren't any secondary plots nor there are any key dramatic resolutions here. Rather, as it is the case with Glass Lips, one is expected to react to the visuals which complimented with the beautiful music do indeed create a very unusual atmosphere.
From a purely technical point of view The Roe's Room isn't a departure from the director's desire to experiment. Abstract visuals are mixed with more traditional imagery allowing for the same fascinating but arguably chaotic order of events Glass Lips reveals. As if to force the viewer to completely let go of any conventional stereotypes about how a story is told in a film The Roe's Room is very much a hallucinatory puzzle with difficult to fully deconstruct symbolism.
How Does the DVD Look?
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 The Roe's Room looks on par with the rest of Lech Majewski's films released by KINO - this is an interlaced transfer with acceptable basics. The opera was shot with a digital camera and both detail and colors here are rather convincing. This being said, the majority of the opera takes place indoors and when a sufficient amount of light isn't present there are notable limitations that become apparent (macro-blocking, noise, etc). Still, The Roe's Room is probably the best looking disc from the entire collection.
How Does the DVD Sound?
Presented with a Polish DD track (music) and optional English and French subtitles The Roe's Room sounds good but not exceptional. The music comes off the speakers without any pop-ups, cracks, or hissing that I could detect and the excellent performances by the singers (and choir) are indeed easy to appreciate. I have not seen the opera on stage and I am unaware precisely what the director's intentions were but it seems to me that the evocative music could have greatly benefited from a more elaborate treatment (a 5.1 mix would have been great). Still, this is an adequate presentation without any disturbing technical flaws.
Extras:
Aside from a text-format biography for Lech Majewski on this disc you will find a commentary by the director where he talks about his project, what it was meant to reveal (personal history), and how it was made possible. A great deal of info is allocated, as expected, to the music. This being said, this is a substantially better analysis by Lech Majewski, far more informative and much more detailed than the one heard on The Gospel According to Harry.
Final Words:
Visually-enticing, evocative, and with a soundtrack capable of existing on its own The Roe's Room is arguably the best of the four films by Lech Majewski KINO have released. It appears to be a very personal project though it still builds on the marquee for the Polish director universal symbolism. The music performances are truly haunting. Once again, I am going to recommend this disc to those willing to experiment.

Experimental Chinese missile knocks out Navy carriers in one hit
Aircraft carriers such as the USS George Washington supercarrier (pictured) represent the American Navy's most formidable force, able to overwhelm any target on land, in the air, or at sea. Now, the Dong Feng 21D anti-ship missile could change everything.
The Dong Feng 21D is considered to be a new class of weapon, being identified as an ASBM, or anti-ship ballistic missile. If it does what it's supposed to, it'll be the first land-launched missile in the world capable of hitting a moving aircraft carrier from a range of 900 miles. The game-changing nature of this weapon is especially apparent when you consider that China commands a coastline 11,200 miles long, and the 21D could knock out a carrier before it gets into range of the mainland.
So, what's the Navy going to do about it? There's no official response to the Dong Feng just yet, which is itself still an experimental weapon and has not proven its ability to pinpoint a target as small (from 900 miles out at least) as a moving aircraft carrier. The big worry is not so much going up against the weapon in a war with China, but rather fighting an opponent who has purchased a Dong Feng 21D launcher from the country.
Hey, we've still got some time, though. Maybe we'll be able to knock these things out of the sky with, say, a super-huge death ray.

Before our bedroom felt like it was lacking something. I liked everything in there, but just felt it needed a little more drama. I really like the wall quote that was above our bed, but I got it crooked when I applied it and it has always bugged me. I have been seeing lots of beautiful canopy beds with luxurious fabric and it got me thinking. First, I tried to convince my husband to let me find a four poster bed on craig's list but he didn't go for that. So, I figured I would just make a small canopy above the bed.
Here is what it looked like before...
Here is what it looked like before...
and here it is now. I would love a beautiful chandelier in our room but the fan is definitly more functional and practical. Anyways, I just bought 2 curtain rods from IKEA for $7.99. I attached one to the ceiling and one to the wall. Then I hung four curtain panels on the rods (also from IKEA) and now for under $50 I have a canopy! You could of course make your own panels out of material, but these curtains were $14.99/pair. I don't think I could find material for that and then I would have to sew it too. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. It really adds a lot to the room and makes everything seem more grand.
Next on the list, I would like to make a platform for the bed so I can get rid of my bedskirt. It drives me crazy! Then, I may add a padded insert to the headboard. Who knows, I've always got a project up my sleeve! :)
If you need additional info with more specific instructions on how I hung this then check out this updated post with more instructions. Thanks!

Oh that looks sooo pretty!
Good job;)
Lovely greetings...
very pretty! Great idea!
gives me a grand idea for my guest room! also, could you please tell me the diameter of the two vases you used on a previous post. you had one inside the other with limes (or maybe lemons...) between the two vases. i would like to do something similiar for reception centerpieces. thank you...love your projects and your blog!
That is so cool, it adds a lot to the room. I will attempt to try this!!
I was just scrolling through and admiring everything when I saw the verse about the bed. Psalm 46:10 is my absolute most favorite, most turned-to scripture. I just lost a friend this week to a sudden death, and it has been a comfort once again.
But I do love the changes to the room. It's beautiful!
xoxo,
Kimberly
I love this idea! ( I sounds like a broken record.)
I wonder if this would work in my master with my bed in the corner. (we have a small room and this makes it feel more spacious.)
ideas, ideas...
How are the panels attached to the second rod? It looks like you have all four panels strung on the first rod, but then somehow they are also strung onto the second rod ... did you sew a second loop after measuring out how much material you wanted to have hanging?
How did you mount the second curtain rod onto the ceiling? I love this idea and I'd love to do it in our room but I can't seem to master that idea...
Can you explain how you attached curtains to rods to hang properly?.
Love this! The canopy is awesome. how did you attach the second rod to the ceiling without the rod falling out of the brackets?
I love the canopy and have been crushing on it for a long time. I think it looks so great. I blogged about it today and I hope you will come and check it out.

Oh gosh, I love this! Do you think it would still work if I didn't have a headboard? Like to just leave the extra fabric behind the pillows?
Also, how did you mount that to the ceiling? I was just going to pick up these:
You think that would mount okay?
Thanks for your help!

Did you hang 2 curtains on each rod? or 4 curtains on the ceiling and then made the draped. Can't figure out how you hung the curtains on the ceiling rod and the wall rod at the same time HELP!
I love this! What size curtains did you use?
@MomtoKandM I think I used 54" x 98" for the curtains. Here's another more detailed post on this if you need more info on how I hung it too.
Thank you for your sweet comments, they make my day!
