I'm really liking this idea of Partial Classes that is coming in .Net 2.0.
When I first heard about it, I thought "now that is going to be confusing". But I've been playing with it in Whidbey and I think it's going to be cool. Both VB.NET (When do we get to stop calling it VB.NET and just call it VB again) and C# allow you to split your class across two files. Although the syntax is slightly different.
C# - Each part of the class has the same definition as seen below
VB.NET - There is a main class and all others expand on that like this
For those who are wondering, The two files must reside in the same assembly. They are actually combined at compile time.
I have been thinking about how useful this will be. Here are some of the uses I can see for Partial Classes.
What else? I'm curious to hear about others peoples ideas for Partial Classes.
While there are a number of quite useful articles about how to access and increment PerformanceCounters through the .NET Framework (the PerformanceCounter class description on MSDN and Creating Custom Performance Counters, also on MSDN to name two), the actual deployment of a web service (or any ASP.NET application, as it turns out) is not so thoroughly covered.
The biggest problem surrounding the move into production of an ASP.NET application that updates performance counters is permissions. By default, in order to increment a performance counter, the user needs to have Administrator or Power User rights. You could change the processModel value in machine.config to System, but that leaves a security hole wide enough to drive an 18-wheeler through. Which is another way of saying "Don't do this!!!!!".
For completeness, the event log entry that appear as a result of the lack of permissions is as follows:
Event ID: 1000Source: PerflibAccess to performance data was denied to ASPNET as attempted from C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_wp.exe
Also, on the actual call to increment the PerformanceCounter, the following exception is thrown:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied
with the stack trace pointing to the GetData method in the PerformanceMonitor class.
As it turns out, the permission set that is required is much smaller than running as "System". In the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib, set the Access Control List so that the ASPNET user has Full Control. Voila, the problem goes away.
Here are a couple of good tips for making source safe run a little better over the network.
I have seen these before but a client (Mark Comeau) recently reminded me of them.
Less network chatter means a better response time when using Source Safe over the network.
Overview The IntelliSense in the PDC bits while editing XAML had problems inside Style elements as well as when completing tags and reformatting. This patch addresses those issues to improve the developer experience.

Next Tuesday (Dec 9th) Object Sharp is hosting a free half day seminar on VS.NET 2.0 (Code Named Whidbey). We'll show a lot of the new features in the IDE like snipits, expansions, snap lines and smart tags. We'll show you new features in C# and VB.NET, also ADO.NET and ASP.NET.
I think you will really enjoy this informal look at the next wave from a developers perspective.
Come on out. It's free and you just might learn something. You can register here.
I haven't written anything in my Blog for quit some time. Mostly because I have been preparing for presentations. We helped Microsoft with their Bigger Better Basic cross Canada tour last month. I spoke in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. It was great. We met lots of wonderful people who were all very excited about Web Services and Client Applications. I'm sure you can tell by the name that the show was for VB developers. My colleagues will tell you it's pretty humorous to say the least that I would wind up speaking to VB developers about how great VB.NET is to develop in.
At one time I would have nothing to do with VB. It was not Object Oriented, that was enough right there. ADO was not great, ASP was not great. It was just too hard to do anything. Well I'm hear to tell you, "VB has come a long way baby". I was speaking with someone at the show on this very subject. They said "If you told me 1 year ago VB would one day have Generics I wouldn't have believed it"
I still prefer the syntax of C#. In a paste life I was a C developer so I am used the the sparse syntax and I like curly brackets. However, although I still find VB a bit verbose for my taste. I have been developing an application with it and it's a good language, VB.NET has a lot going for it.
If this solution is familiar to experienced XSL users, forgive me. I'm a casual XSL user, so the problem was difficult to identify and I didn't find much in the way of Google entries covering the answer. So that (in my small, secluded little world) makes it blog-worthy.
The situation I found myself in was needing to convert the WSDL output from an ASP.NET page to a specific XML format. The reason for the format is irrelevant. Suffice it to say, that I needed to create a list of the valid SOAP operations for a particular web service. I tool the WSDL that was generated by ASP.NET and started the trial and error process of identifying the correct XSL stylesheet to use. This is where I ran into problems.
I do understand the basics of XPath enough to try simple queries. My starting point was to list out the portTypes for the WSDL. To do this, my initial XPath query was //definitions/portType. This didn't actually return any nodes. I thought this strange, so I dropped down to the more straightforward //definitions. This too returned nothing. Running out of drop-back room, I went with the wildcard //*. Fortunately for what remains of my hair, this worked. So the question of why the other queries didn't work remained.
After more painful attempts (and a weekend to allow my brain some reset), I finally came across the solution. XPath queries don't work with the empty namespace. They require that the namespace be explicit within the query. But the WSDL generated by ASP.NET does not assign a namespace to the WSDL elements, choosing to use the empty namespace. So the XSL file needed to be modified to define a namespace for the URI associated with the WSDL elements. When done, the xsl:stylesheet element looked like the following:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" >
The key here is the xmlns:wsdl attribute. This defines a namespace called wsdl and associates it with the listed URI. This URI needs to match exactly the URI associated with the empty namespace in the WSDL file. And I do mean exactly. Character for character. Byte for byte.
Once this has been added to the stylesheet tag, the XPath queries can be modified to be //wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType and the results will be as expected.
In order to gain a complete understanding of services-oriented architecture (SOA), one of the basic pieces of knowledge is the structure of a SOAP messages. At a high level, SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. But that description gives short shrift to the true utility of SOAP, that being the transmission of a request for service between two heterogeneous and networked applications. In this article, we look at the structure of a SOAP message in great detail, as well as put the SOAP message into the context of the HTTP request. This second part has to potential to be a fleeting reference, as there is nothing in the SOAP specification that requires that HTTP be the conduit. However the ubiquity of HTTP has made it the de facto standard for transmission and it will probably be a few years before it is displaced.
For the purposes of this document, SOAP is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol that works over HTTP.The body of the request is in XML. A procedure executes on the server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML.Procedure parameters and returned values can be scalars, numbers, strings, dates, etc.; and can also be complex record and list structures.Request example Here's an example of a SOAP request:POST /examples HTTP/1.1User-Agent: Radio UserLand/7.0 (WinNT)Host: localhost:81Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8Content-length: 474SOAPAction: "/examples" 41 Header requirements The format of the URI in the first line of the header is not specified. For example, it could be empty, a single slash, if the server is only handling SOAP calls. However, if the server is handling a mix of incoming HTTP requests, we allow the URI to help route the request to the code that handles SOAP requests. (In the example, the URI is /examples, telling the server to route the request to the "examples" responder.)A User-Agent and Host must be specified. The Content-Type is text/xml. The charset may be specified, if not, the default is US-ASCII. Other acceptable charsets are UTF-8 and UTF-16. UTF-8 is recommended for maximum interop. See the note on UTF character encodings, below.The Content-Length may be specified, if it is, it must be correct.As with the URI in the first line, SOAPAction is used to route the request to a handler on the server that will respond. It's entirely up to the application to determine how this header element is used. In many implementations the URI and the SOAPAction header will have the same value.Payload format The payload is in XML, a single element.All the attributes of the are required as shown in the example above.The must contain a single element, which contains a single element which is the procedure call. The name of the procedure is the name of this element. Note that the procedure name must be a valid XML element name.The elements contained within the procedure call are the parameters to the procedure. The names of the parameters is significant, the order of the parameters are not. Parameter type is indicated by the xsi:type attribute.For example, the procedure name could be the name of a file containing a script that executes on an incoming request. It could be the name of a cell in a database table. Or it could be a path to a file contained within a hierarchy of folders and files.A procedure call may take no parameters, if so, the procedure element must not contain sub-elements. Scalar values The following scalar value types are supported by this subset of SOAP 1.1.
I have no problem with the opinion that Steve Gillmor shares both in his original eWeek article or in his subsequent comments in Drew's blog on the topic. Specifically, I appreciate his willingness to stand behind his views. To quote Mr. Gillmor,
"As for Robert Scoble, he is certainly capable of standing behind his own views when he wants to. I certainly stand behind mine."
I take issue, however, with exactly what he is standing behind. Is it the view that XAML stands for the Transaction Authority Markup Language? Is it the opinion that Longhorn "veers-away" from some unstated (and, to the best of my knowledge, non-existant) standard that separates the layout and logic portions of an application? Could it be that he stands behind the idea that developers create applications using the XSD 'language'? Or that programmers will have to 'unlearn' XSD once Longhorn arrives. If so, it might be better to find a more stable platform on which to make your stand.
The idea that I'm going to have to wait until 2006 before getting access to some of the functionality that will be available in Longhorn is frustrating to me as a developer. Sometimes ignorance can be bliss. But I balance my frustration with the ability to better plan my current application architectures. Do I expect to include XSD/XML functionality in my current code? Certainly, assuming that I want my applications to be able to exchange data with not only other Microsoft products but the rest of the computing world. Do I expect that arrival of Longhorn to change my use of XSD/XML? Only in the integration that my apps have with the file system on which they are running. The rest of the world speaks XML and I don't think that Longhorn will change that significantly. Nor is the release of Longhorn likely to make my life as a developer more difficult, as Mr. Gillmor suggests. If I take advantage of the information that is being made available by Redmond now, I should be ready for it, whenever it gets here.

Vancouver Giants have added a couple of names to their alumni list. Evander Kane (5th overall in 2009) and James Wright (117th overall in 2008) will be staying in the NHL. Kane, just 18, has been told by the Atlanta Thrashers to move out of the hotel he's been staying at and find a place to live. Wright, 19, has played his 10th game under the Tampa Bay Lightning and appears to be staying as well.
Evander, I'm happy for you. But you said you'd come back for another season! Alright, you said you'd try. No matter what, I'm glad that your greatest dreams have come true. I've seen you play a couple of your games and you fit right in. But I'm expecting something from you soon!
James, you stink! Jokes. You're alrights. Fine! You're pretty spanking. I'm glad to have seen you play your final season with the Giants very, very well - even if we didn't get the result we wanted. Can't say much about you because we never did go over that bonding time. What the spades?! You better holler back when you touch back in Vancouver!

When your ISP offers you a 1Mb connection, its megaBits not MegaBytes.
So for a rough guide of how MUCH you can download, divide by eight. i.e. 1Mb speed = 128KB of data.
So its normal for you to get 1.0-1.10 mbps download speed for the 10MBps connection that you have
you might need software if you want to speed your downloads up http://download.cnet.com/getgo-download-manager/3000-2071_4-10277023.html

Some diet tips that actually work
I am personally tired of receiving diet tips from people who seem money is no object, and not only that where do they find all this time to be constantly working out? Some of us don't have the time or the wherewithal to micromanage our meals for the entire weak, nor do we have the financial capibilites to buy all these expensive organic food. And I frankly do not want to be obsessive about my meals to the point I have to count every single calorie.
Do you like to eat out? Have you notice the size of the plate we are served? I know your nodding your head saying yes, and thinking that's why you eat out in the first place. The thing is, we have a tendency to eat everything that is put in front of us. Maybe its against our moral to waste things, but we need to limit the size of our entrée so if you do eat out store away half the meal to take with you right away.
A lot of us do this already, it is vital to have healthy snacks around just incase we get the urge to chew on something. Have your vegetables within reach when home and try to drink more water than juice whenever possible. It is even a good idea to bring your own lunch to work so you have total control of what you eating. Essentially, if you leave healthy vegetables and fruit snacks around you will more to grab those that fatty food when you just have to eat something.
When it comes to vegetables the fresher the better, ignore the frozen vegetables and the microwavable ones. However, if its difficult to get fresh vegetables it is best to eat the frozen ones over the canned vegetables. Can food tend to be extremely high in sodium and low in nourishment.
It is a good idea to invest in a vegetable steamer. It has been long proven that steaming is one of the healthiest ways to prepare a meal. The nutrients of the food stay within which leads to a succulent yet extremely healthy meal.
This might sound rediculous but do not eat standing up! We want to train our body to eat at specific times. When we eat standing up our food intake becomes extremely whimsical and in turn we end up eating more than normal. Finally it is important to distribute your meals in a smart manner. By breaking up the food into smaller portions you will trick your metabolism to always be active. We all know the more active your metabolism is the more weight you will lose.

I was at the Half Price Bookstore looking for something new to read when I received a call from my hubby informing me in a very excited voice that the TV had just been delivered. He asked if he could set it up or if I wanted him to wait for me. I told him he could go ahead and get it working that I was still looking for a new read.
When we got back home, we put in Transformers: Dark of the Moon and were both drooling over the picture quality and clarity. The next day we watched Avatar. For both films, it was like a whole new viewing experience and I have to say that I'm in a love! The TruMotion 120Hz makes a big difference when you're watching a movie that has a whole lot of action. The 47-inch LG was the perfect present because we couldn't be happier. Well, maybe if we had surround sound (hint, hint companies and public relations agencies). Sorry, couldn't resist =)
Infamous 2. I was originally only going to watch him play for like ten minutes and then get on the computer or read a book. The graphics looked so good though that they put me in a trance and before I knew it two hours had passed.
If you're looking for the perfect gift for yourself or someone else and can afford it, I highly, highly recommend this television. It's a great item, especially for avid movie-watchers, video game players and sports fans.

Rem Pitlick took the USHL by storm last season, leading the league in both goals (46) and assists (43) one year after making his debut. For his efforts on the ice, Pitlick was named USHL Player of the Year, Forward of the Year and was selected to the All-USHL First Team. One summer later, Pitlick has been the focus of much media attention as he contemplates what could be next for his hockey career.
While at USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp Pitlick mentioned that he was still undecided on his hockey future. With the option to return to Muskegon as the League's returning scorer, or the ability to step into the University of Minnesota with a wealth of confidence from the year prior, it appears Pitlick is faced with a win-win situation.
"The coaches were great to me, my teammates were great to me, I had great billets. I can't think my teammates enough," Pitlick said of Muskegon. "They were awesome, and I think the chemistry I had with my linemates Matej Paulovic and Collin Adams, that was really a big thing for myself and our team."
Last summer, Pitlick experienced a growth spurt and started an offseason workout plan that served as a springboard for his remarkable 2015-16 season. He says he wants to continue on that same path this offseason so that he can be physically prepared heading into next season, no matter where he plays.
After adding an additional 10 pounds of muscle this summer, Pitlick believes he will continue the upward trend in development that he has enjoyed late in his junior career. The forward has afforded himself extra time to develop by opting for the USHL and college hockey development path. He said he's been always been a "late bloomer," and playing college hockey puts him on more of an equal playing field.
"I think I've always been on a little bit longer of a development path. I've been a late bloomer kind of my whole life. I'm getting a little bit bigger and more on a level playing field with everyone else in terms of size and that sort of thing, and I think college, I have four years when I get there, versus if I went major junior or something like that, I only have two years left before playing pro hockey. I think college is a little bit longer, more time to develop, gives me a better chance to be more of an established pro if I get to that point."
Following his breakout season, Pitlick was selected in the 3rd round, 76th overall by the Nashville Predators. He described how he felt on the day he was selected.
"Draft day was very exciting. I didn't really know where I was going to be picked. I maybe had a feeling I was going to get drafted, but I didn't know when and where, and it was just really excited to have your hard work pay off and get drafted by Nashville. It was really exciting."
In addition to his personal offseason workout, Pitlick's development this offseason included taking part in Nashville's prospect development camp in early July. Pitlick mentioned some of the feedback he received from the Predators, and has set some goals to work on this season.
"Work on different sorts of skill things. Quickness of my release, my explosiveness, just getting stronger, that sort of thing. Just keep working hard."
It certainly won't be easy to make a decision in the spotlight that now follows the young Predators prospect, but that will only make Pitlick stronger. The added confidence of scoring at an elite level in the USHL last season, paired with performing well at the NJEC against the world's best competition, should lend a favorable advantage to Pitlick no matter where he plays.
After all, the only people who may not want to see Pitlick in a Gopher sweater next season are opposing goaltenders.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the USHL celebrates its 14th season as the nation's only Tier I junior hockey league in 2015-16. A record 37 players were chosen in the 2015 NHL Draft and more than 375 players on team rosters last season committed to NCAA Division I schools, further establishing the USHL as the world's foremost producer of junior hockey talent.

I accidentally added a return on a clients name on Pastel and I need to know if there is any way that it can be reversed?
I accidentally added a return on a clients name on Pastel and I need to know if there is any way that it can be reversed?
First question: Pastel V3 ?? Is that version 3? That must be nearly 20 years old.
Second question: What do you mean by "added a return"?
What happened was one of my clients paid me twice for the same invoice. I then had to repay them but instead of creating the payment I made back I added it as a return (credit note). It now shows that I need to repay the client as he is now in credit with our company. So I need to remove the return
There are at least three ways of correcting it:
1) Make an invoice to cancel out the incorrect credit note.
2) Pastel also has a "debit note" option (in the drop down menu with invoices and credit notes) which can be used for the same purpose.
3) Do a journal where your Debit the customer and credit the sales account (must be a VAT jnl if you're vat registered)

And you have to choose 5 books to keep your sanity intact until help arrives.
It's something we've all thought about at some point, and as much as we'd all love to take a shopping trolley or a truck full of books with us to that lonely spit of land, we can't. Them's the rules.
My survival books, the ones I'd stash in a bag if there was a zombie outbreak or a fire was tearing through my neighbourhood, would have to be:
- The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
- A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
- The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
- The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Okay, that was surprisingly harder than I thought it would be. I wanted to pick books I loved, but books that were large and would take me a while to get through. I wanted to pick every Harry Potter book, but couldn't. That's cheating, in my eyes. Here's some books that other people picked.
So, what would you choose?

27 Weeks
I had my gestational diabetes glucose test this week. I did not have it with Miller and I knew that meant that most likely I would not have it this time, but I was just so anxious to get it over with. The doctor told me that they would have the results the next day, so I was permanently attached to my phone the next day, and the next, and the next. They finally called 3 days later and told me I passed. Whew!
How far along: 27 weeks (3 Months to due date)
Total weight gain/loss: +9lbs
Maternity clothes: I just bought a few pieces for the winter. I am stopping at that.
Stretch marks: Same old ones
Sleep: It is such a process to roll over in bed. The other night as I was rolling over, I got a major cramp in my hip and it scared the crap out of me. I waited until I felt the baby move until I fell back asleep. Besides that, we are really needing to adjust our sleep schedule. It is crazy out of control for all 3 of us.
Best moment this week: Passing my glucose test was quite nice to have done with. That and getting stuff ready for the baby get here. She has a bunch of clothes washed and in her drawers and closet already.
Movement: I had an OB appointment and as soon as my doctor went to listen to her heartbeat, she kicked. My doctor jumped back and was like, "Did you feel that because I saw that". She kicked the Doppler once or twice but then we heard her happy little heartbeat. Just like her brother.
Food cravings: I wish I had cravings sometimes but I have nothing.
Food aversions: I had a scare this week. I was cooking a cowboy stew in the crockpot and after getting everything in there, the aroma of tomatoes and onions became very prominent. It was the same smell of something that we had my 1st trimester that I could not stand. The flavors ended up mellowing and it was really good.
Gender: Baby girl
Labor Signs: My doctor warned me about feeling contractions soon since this is my second baby. Sometimes I am not sure if I am having them or my belly is just tired. I am leaning toward tired belly but she just told me to rest when I feel them. Besides that, I am not dilated at all so that is good to know.
Belly Button in or out? Nothing new
What I miss: I realized this week that I am never comfortable. Not walking, or laying down, or sitting, or standing. I really like being pregnant but sometimes I am so tired of never being comfortable. I also wish that I could work out. I feel so out of control of my body and whenever I try to work out (so that my whole body does not get flubby), I end up being too tired or sore to do anything.
What I am looking forward to: The nursery is almost done and I am so excited to have it complete. Miller is thoroughly testing out the new crib for his baby sister.
Weekly Wisdom: While we were getting the nursery together, it occurred to me that maybe another good reason to having it done early is so that Miller gets used to it. Kind of like preparing a pet for their space to be invaded, it is just with our first kid. Hopefully that is just easing him into the idea of his baby sister.Milestones: I had my glucose test this week (which I passed) and when I was making my next OB appointment, we went ahead and made the next two after that, which are only two weeks apart. On the one hand, this pregnancy has dragged but on the other, it is surreal to see the point where my appointments are two weeks apart and making them into November.
28 Weeks
How far along: 28 weeks (THIRD TRIMESTER!!!)
Total weight gain/loss: +11lbs
Maternity clothes: I am in a rush trying to wear a few summery things before the seasons officially change.
Stretch marks: My massive belly makes them look huge but they are still my same old ones.
Sleep: I sleep fine but the issue is the sleep schedule. Miller started fighting me on naps and taking forever to go down at night so I have to start getting up earlier with him. It helps us be more productive but I am crashing by the afternoon. I have fallen asleep twice this week after I have gotten Miller up from his nap.
Best moment this week: It has been a rough week in toddlerhood so this is a tough one. We did get a new car this week, a mini-van, and I am so excited to have all that space.
Movement: I still cannot get over how different her movement feels than Miller's. I keep thinking I will recognize it from last time but it just is not going to be the same. I could feel definite kicks or punches with Miller. With baby girl, it is more just lots of pressure from her doing those things. The pressure is more uncomfortable because it involves more internal organs. I swear she has tap dancing sessions in there where my whole mid section is vibrating. It is so weird!!!
Food cravings: Fall is upon us, so pumpkin anything and everything. I have no "pregnancy cravings" but just normal, something sounds good moments. Lately, we have been into Dunkin Doughnuts iced coffee. I want it anytime I leave the house.
Food aversions: Nothing this week.
Gender: Based on my crazy hormones, I am going to say definitely a girl.
Labor Signs: I might have had a few Braxton Hicks contractions this week but that is normal.
Belly Button in or out? There is really no point in updating this. It is not going to pop out……..ever.
What I miss: I miss not having all of these crazy hormones!! They give me a short fuse and weepy all the time.
What I am looking forward to: We have Disney World in a few short weeks and I am super excited for the trip. While yes, I am nervous about Miller's behavior and my stamina, I am still excited for our family vacation.
Weekly Wisdom: After this rough week with Miller, I am super worried about having two kids to handle soon. My mom assures me that it will all work out. The baby will tag along with us and Miller will mold into being an older brother. Everyone will get it together. I sure hope so!!!!!!
Milestones: Third Trimester is scary. It is so nice to be at this point and know how developed the baby is (not that I want her coming any earlier than 38 weeks). It just scares me how soon we will have to be dealing with all the newborn stuff again. I am having a major problem getting excited about her being born because I am so worried about all the after stuff.

So I have a 24' Hewes with twin f-100's. the boat currently has Solas 13-1/4 x 19 stainless 3 blade props on it. Not quite getting max rpm's out of motors, about 5200-5400 with full fuel and light load (although this early Hewes carries 160 gals).
boat has sit for 2 years so it does have old gas in it, I dumped a bunch of sea foam in it and replaced timing belts (1300 hrs on motors).
I'm going to "shock" treat the motors with an additive that yamaha sells to remove built up carbon & stuff, then change oil, plugs, filters. All that might improve performance but since I'm going to run the boat as a water taxi, I need to be hauling 7 people & gear.
also will need to run alum props; I have a set of 3 blade alum 12-5/8 x 21 but won't that pitch decrease hole shot? Also have one 13 x 19 alum prop and one 13-5/8 x 13 prop, not sure how the previous owner ended up with un-matched sets.
what do you guys think would be a better match for what I need to do? Max top end is not too important but since I'm not dealing with gobs of torque with the 100's, trying to keep the power band optimal.

This Tip Sheet is designed as a reference when responding to inquiries about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Many times, the inquiries pose some hard‐to-answer questions, and this Tip Sheet pulls together what is known about elder abuse to provide suggestions on how you could respond. Remember that in addition to questions about the topic in general, you should be able to answer this question: "What are you and others doing about the problem?" Doing a quick inventory of your state, local, and/or organization's efforts in this area will help you be prepared for such a question.
What is elder abuse?
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, elder abuse refers to intentional or negligent acts by a caregiver or "trusted" individual that causes (or potentially causes) harm to a vulnerable elder.
Most common categories of abuse are:
- Neglect
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial abuse and/or exploitation
- Emotional or psychological abuse (including verbal abuse and threats, neglect, etc.)
- Abandonment
- Self-neglect (an individual's neglect of their own basic needs such as eating, hygiene, etc.)
Each state defines elder abuse differently. (You may wish to look up how your state defines abuse in your state's statutes. For assistance, contact the NCEA.)
According to available data, neglect is the most common type of elder abuse. There is some debate over whether mistreatment by strangers, rather than by a person in a trust relationship to the victim such as spouse, child, or friend, also constitutes elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Who is at risk for elder abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation?
Elder abuse can happen to anyone: a loved one, a neighbor, and, when we are old enough, it can even happen to us. Elder abuse affects seniors across all socio‐economic groups, cultures, and races.
Elder abuse can occur anywhere care occurs:
- The individual's own home
- Their family's home (if the individual is receiving family caregiving)
- Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other institutional settings
Hospitals and hospices
Based on available information, women and "older" elders (80 years old and older) are more likely to be victimized, and mistreatment is most often perpetrated by the victim's own family members.
What are some common risk factors?
Common risk factors for elder abuse for seniors include:
- Dementia and other behavioral problems
- Mental health problems
- Substance abuse issues
- Social isolation
Poor physical health, which increases an individual's vulnerability
Risk factors among caregivers include:
- The inability to cope with stress (lack of resilience)
- Depression (common among caregivers due to stress related to caregiving duties)
- Lack of support in caregiving
- Substance abuse
- Poor or inadequate preparation or training for caregiving responsibilities
- Assumption of caregiving responsibilities at an early age
- High levels of hostility
How can I prevent elder abuse?
Protective factors reduce the risk of elder abuse and neglect. While research is still needed to determine the efficacy of each of the protective factors listed below, there are still recommended practices to prevent elder abuse:
- Strong communication between elder's family and the caregiver
- Strong support system in place for caregiver, particularly if they are a family caregiver stepping into a caregiving role for the first time
- Monitoring systems for elder and signs of abuse
- Regular visits by family members
How big is the problem of elder abuse?
Unfortunately, we simply do not know for certain. Although there has been relatively little research on incidence and prevalence of elder abuse, a recent study indicated that approximately 11 percent of US elders surveyed had experienced some type of abuse or potential neglect during the previous year. It is important to note that this survey did not include elders with dementia, a segment of the population believed to be at even greater risk for mistreatment, or elders living in long‐term care facilities.
(Acierno, R. et al. 2010. "Prevalence and Correlates of Emotional, Physical, Sexual, and Financial Abuse and Potential Neglect in the United States: The National Elder Mistreatment Study." American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 100, 292‐297.)
According to the best available estimates, approximately 700,000 to 3.5 million older Americans are abused, neglect, or exploited each year. (Bonnie and Wallace, ed., 2003. Elder Mistreatment: Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation in an Aging America. Washington, DC: National Research Council Panel to Review Risk and Prevalence of Elder Abuse and Neglect.)
Research suggests that elder abuse is significantly under‐identified and under‐reported, and that as few as 1 in 6 cases of elder abuse come to the attention of authorities. (National Elder Abuse Incidence Study. (1998.) Washington, DC: National Center on Elder Abuse at American Public Human Services Association.)
The most recent national statistics for Adult Protective Services programs indicate that, in 2003, there were approximately 381,430 reports of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation to APS across the country. (The 2004 Survey of State Adult Protective Services: Abuse of Adults 60 Years of Age and Older. 2006. National Center on Elder Abuse.)
Even when suspicions are reported, the outcomes of the cases are difficult to track.
Why does elder abuse remain such an "invisible" problem?
Like other forms of interpersonal violence, elder abuse usually occurs behind closed doors. Many victims are reluctant to report abuse because they may:
- Feel ashamed and embarrassed, especially if a family member is the abuser
- Worry that they will be forced to live in a nursing home (this sometimes happens)
- Feel guilty or somehow to blame
- Be in denial that the abuse is occurring
- Be unaware that what they are experiencing is abuse or neglect
- Be afraid that if they report it, the abuse will worsen
Be afraid that their abuser will get "in trouble"
Some victims are unable to speak out due to dementia or other impairments, or may not be believed when they do due to other physical or mental health problems or even medications. The validity of their accusations may be brought into question due to the victim's age and health conditions.
Although this theory hasn't been researched, there are indications that a culture of ageism and a fear of growing old may keep older people marginalized and undervalued in our society, hence their problems remain invisible or are viewed as unimportant.
Who is required by law to report elder abuse?
Each state has its own reporting requirements, and many professionals who work closely with elders are considered "mandatory reporters" by state statues. (You may wish to look up who in your state is designated by state statue as a mandated reporter. For assistance, contact the NCEA.)
Unfortunately, many mandated reporters may not make reports, as they may not receive regular training and education to accurately distinguish the signs of "normal" aging from elder abuse, or may be in denial about the prevalence of elder abuse and therefore not look for or identify suspicious activities.
If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected, contact your local Adult Protective Services or law enforcement if you require immediate assistance. Although a situation may have already been investigated, if you believe circumstances are getting worse, continue to speak out. If you believe that an elder is in a life-threatening situation, contact 911 or the local police or sheriff's department.
How is elder abuse being addressed in society?
Public awareness and grassroots involvement are a growing necessity to create change. Visibility of the issue helps to:
- Increase the identification and reporting of abuse by the public, professionals, and victims themselves
- Provide older victims with a safe environment to speak out and tell their stories
- Begins long‐term prevention by raising awareness among students and young people.
Additionally, enhanced services for victims are being used to help prevent abuse and provide additional services to reduce isolation (a key risk factor in abusive situations). These services also offer more effective intervention, elder shelters, and in-home help and medical attention targeted to at-risk seniors.

Why we do not like our voice in the recording?
Did you know that we actually hear ourselfs differently than the people around us.
this is because the structure of the ear inside our body adds noise to the voice that we hear, when we're speaking.
others hear our voice in a more pure form.
Do you like how you sound in recordings?
Or do you like the sound of your voice in the recording?

WHEN Premiership reality bites, it bites hard.
And boy did Sunderland get bitten at the JJB Stadium!
Three goals without reply from Chris Hutchings' reputation- wreckers brought Sunderland's Premiership honeymoon to an abrupt end, and left Roy Keane fuming.
A first half-strike from Emile Heskey and two second-half penalties – one from Denny Landzaat and one from ex-Newcastle man Antoine Sibierski – won the day for Wigan, but what infuriated Keane was the fact that most of the damage was self-inflicted.
Slow thinking, sluggish movement, appalling passing, woeful defending, lackadaisical finishing, inability to get the basics right . . .
The list goes on.
In short, Sunderland were comprehensively outplayed by a Wigan side that started the season as relegation favourites after scraping survival on the last day of last season.
However, their back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and Sunderland may cause many to revisit their predictions!
Sunderland's opening-day victory against Spurs did wonders for confidence on Wearside, but a defeat like this, against more modest opposition, renders meaningless the odd rare win against the big-hitters.
In the Premiership, you have to work as hard against the rest as you do against the best.
Sunderland failed to do that yesterday, and paid the penalty.
Wigan's work ethic and sheer desire gave Sunderland a crash-course in the qualities they will need if they are to establish themselves in the top flight.
But the man who learned most from this defeat was, by his own admission, Keane.
He laid it on the line after the match, insisting that he has showed too much loyalty to some players who just do not have what it takes to perform at this level.
And, ominously, he vowed that he will not repeat that mistake.
That could spell the end for two or three of the players who fell way, way below expectations at the JJB.
Defenders who make mistakes, forwards who can't control the ball and midfielders who show a lack of effort: beware!
Another 12 days remain of the August transfer window and you can expect more new arrivals to add to the eight already brought in.
Against Wigan, Keane made four changes to the side that drew at Birmingham in midweek with hamstring injury victim Carlos Edwards and skipper Dean Whitehead – who jarred his knee in training on Friday – the only enforced absentees.
Keane also dropped Danny Collins and David Connolly to the bench.
Kieran Richardson, Anthony Stokes, Daryl Murphy and Dwight Yorke – all of whom started the opening day win over Spurs last weekend – returned to the side.
Wigan were unchanged from the side that beat Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
Sunderland gave Wigan an early warning when a header from Michael Chopra brought a great save out of Chris Kirkland.
But Heskey struck in the 19th minute after Antonio Valencia had brushed past stand-in left-back Wallace and delivered a deflected cross from the Wigan right.
Heskey got across his man to the near post and hit the ball first time, sending across Gordon and into the left-hand side of the net.
A Heskey header forced Craig Gordon into a spectacular save five minutes before the interval, and just before half-time the former Liverpool striker had the ball in the back of the net again, but this time his effort was ruled out by an offside flag.
Wigan also had strong claims for a penalty rejected by referee Mike Riley when Nyron Nosworthy brought down Jason Koumas.
In the second half, Daryl Murphy fluffed a great chance to bring Sunderland back on terms when he failed to get on the end of a terrific cross from Greg Halford.
Sunderland found themselves temporarily reduced to 10 men on the hour when Paul McShane went off for treatment following a clash of heads with Sibierski.
And Wigan capitalised in the 61st minute when sub Collins, who had moved across to centre-back to cover for the absent McShane, brought down Sibierski inside the box and Latics skipper Landzaat converted from the spot.
McShane could not continue and Keane sent on Russell Anderson for his debut, but it turned into a nightmare start for the Scotland international defender brought down Heskey in the area in the 69th minute.
This time Sibierski scored the penalty, taking his tally to three goals in as many games so far.
Sunderland crumbled and Wigan could easily have piled on the agony for Keane and his men had Gordon not made a couple of decent stops in the final 20 minutes.
Liverpool are next up at the Stadium of Light on Saturday and Keane will have plenty of food for thought to chew over between now and then.

Entrepreneur of the year sets sights on tracking head injuries
It was a good weekend for Chad Stiening. His future could be even better.
On Friday, the CEO of Kypha was named this year's Governor's Entrepreneur of the Year by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon during a banquet in Kansas City.
But it's what Stiening and his team at Kypha are working on that really gets him excited.
Stiening is founder of St. Louis-based Kypha, an early-stage medical device startup working on developing diagnostic devices to monitor inflammation with a level of accuracy, speed and ease of use not currently on the market.
More specifically, Stiening is developing a medical device that could within moments alert physicians to severe head trauma. That includes concussions, which could make the medical device incredibly valuable to physicians treating a professional athlete or soldiers in the field of battle.
"(The device) would catch problems early or give us access to the severity of the injury if someone were to say they feel OK and want to get back on the battlefield or back in the game," he said. "The ability to deliver those tests to the site of injury and deploy that in the battlefield or sports field — or even a more chaotic field such as the trauma ICU — would be very useful."
Stiening said the point-of-care device would work much like a pregnancy test but with the patient using a drop of blood. The patient would have his or her finger pricked — similar to a diabetes test — and place the blood on an indicator stick that would within a few seconds give a numeric value assigned to a condition.
The product is currently undergoing FDA clinical trials, and Stiening said he hopes to have the product on the market in 2014.
"The goal is to be able to provide the test in multiple settings with multiple clinical implications," he said.
Stiening said the device would also enable physicians to make more effective decisions for patients with chronic diseases such as Lupus, in which inflammation must be closely monitored.
Kypha moved to St. Louis from Kentucky in 2011 after receiving an investment from Missouri Technology Corporation and funding from the BioGenerator. Since moving to town, Stiening said the company has tripled in size.
To date, Stiening said Kypha has raised roughly $3 million from regional investors.
The company is located in the BioGenerator Accelerator Labs, 4320 Forest Park Ave.
Half of its funding came in a $1.5 million round led by local investors, including Saint Louis University's Billiken Angels Network, St. Louis Arch Angels and the Holton Capital Group.

They are on tour from Portland using Amtrak to transport them around the country. I noticed a vinyl album with a train on the cover, so they must be train people. I like trains, so I know there are others out there.
They were good. It's awesome to watch them play off each other and to each other while including the audience. 2 saxophones, great drums, great keyboards, cool skinny upright bass. The songs were very interesting. It was a good opener for the evening.
"The group, composed of Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone), Sly Pig (tenor saxophone), Rebecca Sanborn (keyboards), Keith Brush (acoustic bass), and Ji Tanzer (drums), began working together as a quintet in 2007 (originally recording as a quartet in 2006). Since then, the band has begun to reap the rewards of collective articulation: a truly individual sound that depends on the contributions of each member."

The Dalai Lama spoke at a joint press conference with Hans-Gert Poettering, the President of the European Parliament. The Buddhist Channel features an article on what the Dalai Lama had to say about the world economic crisis:
"Answering a question about economic crisis, the spiritual leader explained the ongoing market crisis around the world. Saying, 'Market itself is a creation of human beings,' the Buddhist leader asked, 'What is the real cause of this sort of economic crisis?' Citing answers from his business friends, the Dalai Lama told journalists: 'Too much speculation and ultimately greed,' adding, 'The potential to help is: reduce greed and (increase) self-discipline. 'Economic crisis is something urgent so it will be helpful to reduce some other conflict (that are going on) in the name of faith and nationality.' "

New Years resolutions?
Made em?
Broke em yet?
Am gonna conquer the world!!!!
…Wait a minute….that's a lotta work, think I'll just sleep in….
Yep, good call;)
I came into this year with absolutely NO resolutions, or goals.
How about that, eh? May sound totally slack!
One think is certain however, I won't be disappointed about breaking resolutions, why set yourself up for failure right? 😉
The thing about living with Crohn's disease is – life can, at times, be hard to plan, it can be unpredictable – which personally, am greatly accustomed to.
Growing up – my life has always been a bit of an uncertain, my family moved a lot, at least 30 times – houses, cities and countries – this life experience has helped me to soak in new surroundings, adapt to new experiences, and also developed the ability to not attach myself to things, to environments, to people – to be able to accept change. Hard truth! There has never really been a sense of stability in my life with all the moving, and consequently, not having a sense of control over where my life goes.
Fortunately in high school – I found a certain passion – there was a brilliant drama department, and I became incredibly drawn to theatre. I found my tribe – people that are a little off centre, who live outside the bubble, talented eccentrics who have the ability to tell stories, beautifully. Perhaps you could call it escapism or perhaps it's the innate desire to connect to something, someone, through creativity.
Also, a draw card to the arts was its unpredictability in career path. How amazing to know – that you don't know where exactly you're art could take you, what city you could arrive in, who you will meet, what stage you may perform on. There is magic in that – and also, for me – a comfort/familiarity in the unpredictability.
Ironically, you may say, during that time in high school, I also developed Crohn's disease on a trip abroad with my parents. From then on, another inconsistency developed in life – that have since, never had control over. I then developed a stronger tolerance for pain, and an ability to keep on going regardless of Crohn's symptoms – until however – it literally stopped me in my tracks a year and a half ago, with 3 major surgeries.
Now, I have a total certainty – awareness of the seriousness of this disease.
Moving forward, am not sure what the plan is, or what the future holds
(though, does anyone, really?)
I am still involved in what I love, stability is more important to me now than ever, peace of mind is a constant value, and being open about living with Crohn's is incredibly important.
Though, how do I plan, when I feel little control, especially with chronic illness?
Take it day by day
Take care of self as best as possible
Live with grace, as much as I can
Be grateful for today
Are they resolutions? Goals?
Perhaps… 😉
I guess we have different scales of goals, plans, accomplishments yet to achieve – however working within the framework of disease, life can be harder to plan, or to set in stone – sometimes it's the small things in life that resonate most – the small things that can be our biggest and most beautiful accomplishments.
Happy New Year:)
With love,

What does getting older mean to you?
We all have fears about getting older, especially when words like "arthritis" and "osteoarthritis" are thrown around. These words needlessly scare so many people into thinking that they can no longer do activities that they enjoy as part of their day-to-day life.
People are lead to believe that there is nothing that can be done to ease the aches or discomfort, other than accept that they are "not getting any younger" or "over the hill".
There is something about this way of thinking that causes people to miss out on life and activities. Minding the grandkids, going on holidays or enjoying a nice forest walk become a worry, unsure if doing these things will do more harm than good.
"The truth of it is that arthritis is a misunderstood condition, often overlooked or ignored".
Given that over 10 million people suffer with arthritic conditions in Ireland and the UK, having a better understanding of it may help you or someone you care dearly about.
What is Arthritis?
Good question! As it is not one specific condition. Arthritis is a group of conditions affecting bones, muscles and joints all over the body. The most common types of arthritis are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the lining of your joints also known as cartilage begins to wear away, hence the classic saying "wear and tear". Whereas Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition which means that the body's immune system attacks itself causing inflammation and swelling within certain joints.
Symptoms vary depending on the type of arthritis present but generally include one or more of the following:
- Joint pain
- Joint swelling
- Stiffness – particularly in the morning
- Reduced mobility
- Inflammation
- Clicking sensation within the joints
Arthritis can start suddenly and without cause at any age – it is not just specific to getting older. However, it appears that certain factors can put you at a higher risk including:
- Overuse e.g. from a physically demanding job.
- Obesity.
- Family history.
- Previous trauma to a joint e.g a fall or a fracture.
While there is no cure at the moment there are many different ways of taking charge of your health and mobility including diet, exercise and manual therapy.
That's where Osteopathy comes in!
Whilst osteopathic treatment cannot cure arthritis, it can treat the symtpoms that are associated with it.
Soft tissue techniques can be used to help loosen tight muscles surrounding the affected joints. Gentle joint mobilisation and traction can be used to help reduce swelling by encouraging fluid drainage and improving how the affected joints move.
Generally, if you have pain or discomfort in a joint or joints, you will change the way that you move. Osteopaths like to look at how the body moves as a whole – assessing other areas away from the affected joints to see if your body is compensating, creating other strain patterns elsewhere which may further be aggravating your symptoms.
We can also provide you with strengthening exercises for muscles that may have become weak. These can be done in the comfort of your own home without any expensive gym memberships or fancy equipment!
Help yourself!
- Stay active! I am a firm believer in the age-old saying "move it or lose it". Don't shy away from movement, staying sedentary will only cause you to seize up quicker.
- Chose non-impact exercises that aren't too hard on your joints such as swimming or cycling.
- Regular treatment – yes I know this is a shameless plug, but having regular treatments can help slow the progression of arthritis. It can really help to have someone keep an eye on your progression and give you some accountability to keep active and focus on stretching and mobility work.
- Positive mindset! Everybody has a certain degree of arthritic changes in their joints, these can begin as early as twenties onwards. Remember with early intervention and proper management you can live life to the fullest with good mobility and pain relief.

I recently installed a copy of Office 2010 Pro onto my Windows 10 laptop. When I open any of the apps, the title bar appears to have one color superimposed on top of a lighter color except where there is text. It only happens with Office 2010 apps, all other apps are OK. See pictures. I cannot find anywhere in Office to change this and do not want to fiddle with Windows 10 color settings too much without seeking advice. The old Windows Classic Colour scheme was simple to use, but it has gone away.
Any help to fix this would be appreciated.

I truly loved these drabbles! Honestly it's the first time I've seen Michael as anything other than a villain and it made me happy comforting Gabriel the way he did! I really hope to see many more of these, keep up the awesome work.
| EvenDemonsFail chapter 5 . 4/2/2012
I think you built really authentic relationsships between the archangels. At least you could imagine, it was somehow like this before lucifer fell and I really liked Lucifers protective behavior.
But in my opinion you anthropomorphized them too much. It's a cute picture, Lucifer waiting for his little brother because Gabe could not fly fast enough. But this and other scenes like this are too human to actually describe an archangel. Just my point of view. Apart from that, very nice story, well written.
| Gyp Dark chapter 4 . 6/22/2011
Omg you should continue , it was awesome! Really liked the relationship you built between the angels. I thought Gabriel was an adult when Lucifer left, having helped fight, etc, but that's probably just my perception and I liked it equally well anyway! Great job ) fantastic! Blessed be!

Oh poor Michael. He even says over and over that he really does still love Lucifer but wants to be a good son more. Having to face the reality of what he did and little Gabriel rubbing salt into the wound doesn't make it any easier.
Loving this fic, it's great to get some insight on the brotherly relationship of the archangels too.

Oh please keep writing this story! It's awesome - I loved the appearance from Michael, ever since he was in 'Song Remains The Same' Michael has been one of my favourite angels, not as good as Castiel or Gabriel, but still awesome, lols, can't wait to read on! :D
