From Global Mom: A Memoir
(Cont'd from last post, "Le Chef Makes A Move")
Then someone down on the road cleared his throat. "Madame," Le Chef called up to me, in French with a Breton accent, "Uh, it's maybe best you get something to write with."
And after several hours of unloading a container that had not only been somehow partially submerged in water, but had been tampered with somewhere during its thousands of miles in transit, after those patient hours of watching these men fish out our waterlogged belongings from deep in this container, I filled seven full pages of legal pad note paper. Line upon line of damage, disappearance, and loss.
All eight beds and bed frames including headboards and bunk beds, trashed. Two vintage leather chairs from the Marché aux Puces, wedding gifts to each other, rotten from prolonged exposure to moisture and punctured with . . .bicycle handlebars? Lamps, crushed and bent around . . .a basketball? A couch, gored through with . . .fireplace pokers? Clothing, boxes of what we had planned on wearing the next week, rank and fuzzy with mildew. And in the end, a personal visit and apology from the global moving company's owner and namesake.
Somehow, our Norwegian long table, shipped in a separate and smaller container, made it to France unscathed.
An email to a friend:
Unpacked 17 days straight. All the damaged stuff has to stay here so insurance folks can come by (when?) and verify damage. Moldy mattresses, broken bed frames, incinerated treadmill, everything, stacked against walls in an apartment one-third the size of U.S. home. Only clothes are what we had for summer vacation, we're trying to clear a path through piles by taking stuff down into the communal cave beneath the building, the greasiest, dustiest dungeon in Paris. Borrowing towels, inflatable mattresses, essentials from church friends who schlep them here by Metro. Incredible folks! Haven't had a chance to stock up on food which takes forever here, so I've been eating mini yogurts from the grocer's down the street and handfuls of pretzels. R is "floundering", he claims, totally consumed because his job is 100 percent in French every day. Works councils, labyrinth-like French legalese; he had to appear in court and testify in French last week, oh-la-la. P and C have long school days with a forty-five min bus ride both ways. D adjusting, which means, yes, I'm losing lots of sleep over him. (Can you lose "lots of sleep" from four hours of sleep? Do that math for me, will you dear?:-) Luc in sweet bilingual Montessori preschool across the street: saves my sanity. Living in the middle of Paris decidedly different experience from Versailles, and of course a universe apart from where we've just been. Intoxicating, energizing, really. At least. . . I hear it is, because I can't get to it for all the piles and the work of replacing the piles and all the details of just getting settled, like finally getting working Internet, voilà! When I die and have that Life Review, the whole film's going to be a vast landscape of moving boxes. Come visit when I have a few square inches for you to stand in.

How many amps?
Hi Bill,
According to the data we have from Coulomb I think most of these Level2 Coulomb charging stations are 30 amps if I am not mistaken.
Just wanted to leave an additional note here. We personally stopped by on a trip and the place is really very nice, great location and a super friendly staff. Food and Starbucks literally is across the street and found out there is even an observatory nearby in the foothills. At this moment and probably for a while this has to be one of the biggest installs of any hotel or most retail locations in the country we have seen to date. Anyone heading this way needs to stop and thank the manager and owners for their vision and of course would be great for you to patronize them too :)

I can only do it from Safari on Mac or IExplorer on Windows, neither OS works with Firefox.
I tried that link (on linux) and it invited me to download the pdf or view it in my pdf viewer (as a separate program because by choice I don't have a pdf viewer plugin)
The fact that it's an aspx web page is irrelevant to your problem - unless you mean that you can't view the page at all.
I don't know Macs, put I think you either need a separate pdf viewer program or a pdf plugin in Firefox. Adobe Reader will of course do both.

I wonder if the original poster meant ".aspx" rather than ".ashx" because I cannot view these .aspx files in Firefox no matter how I try to open them once downloaded. I tried his/her link with the same result, a downloaded .aspx file. Also, my Preview program which reads pdf files will not open .aspx files either. Only when I change the extension on the filename to ".pdf" will it open with my reader. Like the original poster, I have no problem viewing any of these files in Safari. I wouldn't think that Firefox would need an odd work-around like changing the downloaded file's extension to ".pdf" in order to see it in another program, like my Preview.
The file is send as application/pdf , so if you have a program for that file type then it should work.

Okay, I had this problem and finally figured out what to do. Open the Finder window and in the User location choose Downloads. Once the icons pop up, look for the files with the .aspx extension. Right-click one of them. Click on Open with, then click Other. Scroll through until you see Adobe Reader, and click it. Most importantly, check the little box at the bottom of the window that says "Always open with". Click the Open button, and it will open in Adobe Reader. I did this with about 5 files, and then it started listing Adobe Reader in the "Open with" bar on its own. I tested it by trying to download a new .aspx file, and it worked! I hope you have success.
lori1013, Your suggestion worked. It took trying 5 times as you said, then when I tried to open it the 6th time it opened itself without the other steps. Wierd! I had tried what you suggested before but only 1 time. Why would you try 5 times? Why does this work? I really don't care about the answer to these last 2 questions, I'm just so thankful that you tried it, told me and that it works now. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Hilfreiche Antwort
I've had this problem for 3 years. And I can see that questions were posted by others in 2006. The only answer that works for me is to ignore the Firefox error message. Save the document from downloads onto my desktop. Change the .ashx ending to .pdf and confirm that. Then it opens in Preview.
Neither the Shockwave nor the Adobe tricks work on my mac.
How come Firefox can has not dealt with this error 4 years on and more "modernising" websites use this format? Please?
Great ideas, I'm sure, but the problem is with ".ashx" files, not .aspx files.
If somebody finds a method for Firefox to display these files, I'm sure it would be really useful for all us Mac users out here.
Geändert am von informationau
The original question is really for .ashx files (not .aspx files). Although the .ashx file is a pdf file, it cannot be opened by Preview. So I followed one of the suggestions above (thanks to lori1013) to associate the extension .ashx with Adobe Reader. (save the file, right-click on the file name, select "Open With", find Adobe Reader, check the "Always Open With" box).
Now when I click the link on a web site with a .ashx file, Firefox warns me it may be an application and will be opened by Adobe Reader. I click on Open and it works!

I had just switched to Firefox on my iMac and was having the same problem and your solution worked for me. But, as you say, if this problem has been around for four years why hasn't it been fixed? I will be forced to try Chrome or worse, go back to Safari. All my online bill pays use .aspx files.
My reply was to KEVFR. I'm sorry, I thought since I hit the "reply" at the bottom of his post that the reply would immediately follow his post.
This is a reply to dwdoug. I just followed your instructions and they worked perfectly, eliminating the need to download the file, and then change the extension to .pdf,
Thank you so much.
Here is a "brute force" solution if nothing else works. It appears that the applications settings (accessed in the preferences menu on the Mac) can get confused over a period of time so that Firefox isn't taking the right action with respect to some file types. This can be re-set by forcing Firefox to use new applications settings. Unless you've done a lot of specialization of your settings, this might be a useful solution.
If you go to the Troubleshooting Information directory under the Help menu and then click the Show In Finder button for your Profile Directory, you can find where your Firefox profile information is stored. Open the Profile Directory folder (it will have a computer-generated name like 6jmzwu5b.default) and find the mimeTypes.rdf folder. This folder contains all of the descriptions for links between filetypes and applications. Rename this file to something like mimeTypes old.rdf so you can go back to the old folder if you later wish to. This will force Firefox to generate a new mimeTypes.rdf file and will enable you to redefine how it treats aspx and ashx files (along with all other file types that you interact with on the internet). Close the folders and re-start Firefox. Now go to a link on the internet that offers you a ashx or aspx file for download. Firefox will now ask you how you want to treat these files, select download, or open with Adobe, or another option that you prefer, and voila, it now works.
If you don't like the result over-all, you can rename the old folder back to mimeTypes.rdf and you're back where you started. If you're smarter than I am, you might be able to figure out how to edit the mimeTypes.rdf file to fix the aspx and ashx file handling without losing everything else. I haven't been able to figure that out, yet.

LadyBeez Designs // Sponsor Spotlight
Hello Holy Hen House!!!!!
I am honored and humbled to be a Holy Hen House sponsor. As a long time reader and writer of blogs, I cannot tell you what an amazing community of women can do for each other! In fact, a very similar type of community of women is what inspired and led me to form my business as it is today.
It all started 7 years ago when my husband and I were the proud parents of one: a little girl who filled our lives with so much joy and excitement that I just wanted to share it with the world. So, I started a personal family blog to chronicle our lives. It was mainly for our family and friends--(before Facebook was the popular go-to sharing site for everyone). This led me to a world of moms that not only loved their role as mothers, but also shared my passion for creativity. My blog turned into a place to share DIY projects, thrifting finds, scrapbooking ideas, and more. The sewing part, on the other hand, was a new frontier for me. That might surprise some of you, especially when you learn that my mom is my sewing partner in LadyBeez Designs. You see, she has been sewing since she was 11 years old. She used to make her clothes growing up, and she sewed many outfits for me and my siblings as well. However, as many times as she tried to pass that skill onto me, it didn't stick. Turns out, we learn a bit differently. I have only truly learned to sew in the past 5 years, and although I often keep it simple and say "I am self-taught", that is far from the truth. I learned online. I learned from other women sharing their skills, tips, and tricks on their own blogs: sewing, photography, Etsy selling, advertising, and even some book-keeping (this part I gotta give props to my hubby though too)
My inspiration, however, comes from a different place. Let me see if I can explain: I've spent a good part of our church services in the past 7 1/2 years in the back, and I don't mean just toward the back of the church, I'm talking pacing back and forth, in the back-of-the-back, calming one of our 4 precious cherubs. Our last little blessing just turned one year old, so we've surpassed the wailing infant stage and have entered the restless toddler one. Mamas, you know what I'm talking about, right? What has come to my attention over the past year, however, if I back up just enough, we are almost nose-to-nose with one of the breath-taking stained glass windows that adorn our sanctuary. Almost always, my little one calms. The light shines through this rainbow of artwork, and I think...the Holy Spirit just flew into my child. The Lord uses these shapes, colors, and patterns to reach my child in a way that I seem to fall short. He stares in wonder, quietly taking in all it's beauty, and I get to turn my attention back to the sermon. A little miracle of miracles on a Sunday morning.
I suppose this is what I look like walking through the aisles of the fabric store. Eyes WIDE open, silently taking everything in. My wheels are constantly turning, planning outfits, patterns, mixing and matching the perfect design for my next creation. It is my gift. It took me almost 33 years to admit it, and you heard it here first.
It is my gift, a God-given gift: to create.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. I Peter 4:10
This past year, with a supportive push from my husband, we turned this gift into a business: LadyBeez Designs LLC. With my mom at my side in the sewing room, we design and sew children's clothing & accessories for all ages. Our main focus is on children's clothing, which is available for purchase in our on-line shop HERE. Also, we are partnered with Market Boutique on Main in Oshkosh,Wi 224 N. Main St. You can shop our goods in person during their store hours as well! Market Boutique on Main also has a fun Creative Space where we lead others in DIY projects and workshops to those who are interested in learning sewing too! Check our upcoming events here!
One of my favorite parts of this business is designing custom orders for our customers.
Do you have a daughter that likes superheros, dinosaurs, or baseball?
Do you like to dress your children in coordinating, but not "matchy-matchy" outfits?
Maybe your child doesn't fit into the store-bought sizing charts?
Or, my personal favorite: your children want to share their faith on their sleeve?
Many of those creations and more are pictured on LadyBeez Designs Facebook page: LOOK BOOK albums. Everything is handcrafted in one of our two homes in Oshkosh or Gresham, Wisconsin. ( I'd show you a picture of my design studio, but it's currently under construction. Which makes me just giddy with excitement!)
Please contact us with any questions you have! As I said, we love making custom orders AND getting our designs out in markets and local shops. Thank you for having me here to share our work with you!
Be Blessed!

Karen Bentley Pollick, violinist
Karen Bentley Pollick is one of America's leading contemporary violinists and violists. She received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for her 2010 Solo Violin and Alternating Currents concerts:"Rarely will a recital such as this engage the ear from beginning to end, yet each piece at Birmingham Museum of Art event had a unique style and temperament, reflecting Pollick's keen sense for gleaning quality in experimental music and giving these scores their rightful due…Pollick not only extended that thread, she vitalized and emboldened it." Michael Huebner, Birmingham News. Pollick performs a wide range of solo repertoire and styles on violin, viola, piano and Norwegian hardangerfele. A native of Palo Alto, California, she studied with Camilla Wicks in San Francisco and with Yuval Yaron, Josef Gingold and Rostislav Dubinsky at Indiana University where she received both Bachelors and Masters of Music Degrees in Violin Performance. Her discography includes recordings of original music Electric Diamond, Angel, Konzerto and Succubus and Ariel View, for which she has received three music awards from Just Plain Folks, including Best Instrumental Album and Best Song. On her own record label Ariel Ventures she has produced Dancing Suite to Suite, <amberwood>, Homage to Fiddlers, Bebop for Beagles, Estadio, Russian Soulscapes, and Peace Piece. She filmed Dan Tepfer's Solo Blues for Violin and Piano in Shoal Creek, Alabama, performed with Paul Dresher's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, and recorded extensively with Russian pianist/composer Ivan Sokolov. Pollick continues her multimedia collaborations with Violin, Viola & Video Virtuosity.
While residing in Vilnius, Lithuania she debuted Resonances from Vilna with pianist Jascha Nemtsov in May 2014, Nothing is Forever with actor Aiste Ptakauske in December 2015, and premiered David A. Jaffe's violin concerto How Did It Get So Late So Soon? with the Lithuanian National Opera & Ballet Theatre Orchestra at the Tytuvenai Festival with Maestro Robertas Servenikas in August 2016. Karen performs on a violin made by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume in 1860 and a viola made in 1987 by William Whedbee.
Karen received a Seed Money Grant for Disseminated Performances from New York Women Composers towards solo concerts with electronics in Seattle, Stanford University's CCRMA, and SPECTRUMNYC in spring 2018. She is represented on two tracks of Dorothy Hindman's "Tightly Wound", released on Innova and winner of #1 Gold Medal in the Fall 2017 Global Music Awards.

Call of Duty: Mobile will recover support for controls "soon"
Although in its launch it could be played with PS4 and Xbox One controls in a very simple way, Activision decided to withdraw this compatibility because it created a great inequality between those who used the touch control scheme and those who opted for the physical controller. They did not promise a date, but now they assure that this coveted function will return "soon."
They don't want to give advantages to players with command
If Call of Duty: Mobile implements control control again, it is likely that it will do so in different lobbies, "not mixed in the same games. "Currently, Call of Duty: Mobile separates players who play in the first person with those who play in third person in Battle Royale mode to maintain an equivalent level," he continued. "Players who use controls and those who use the control scheme through the touch screen should be similarly separated, all to make things fair to everyone."
Now they are committed to that functionality coming back; It will "soon", so it is expected that before the end of the year players of this successful title can join the game with their DualShock 4 or Xbox Wireless Controller.
If the American company brings back the compatibility you can reconnect your remote with a simple tutorial.

Abrahan replied to Bau's topic in SuggestionsI think we should first focus on other things, in addition to the trade/cambio chat that allows you to exchange powers / xats / days in real time in a secure way. If we do this, people would stop visiting (even more) the trade chat that has been in my opinion for a long time. I'm sorry, but thanks @Bau

TRADE FEATURE: Add Quantity of Power with Ease
Abrahan replied to AishaOfficial's topic in SuggestionsThis if it should be done should be implemented only for HTML5, xat is working hard to finish the new version before flash dies, it makes no sense to work on something that will not last long. Currently in HTML5 in trade mode there is a bar ''search'' and button ''add all'' it would be good if we look for a power as in your case BIRD we can click on ''add all'' and only the results will be added. It is a very good suggestion, if you receive good comments or other constructive suggestions to implement it could be taken into account, I invite you to xat Feedback to have a better feedback on the subject.
TRADE FEATURE: Add Quantity of Power with Ease
Kaay replied to AishaOfficial's topic in SuggestionsI do think it would be a great idea, the suggestion is pretty clear it would avoid traders taking a long time. Really hope your suggestion gets taken into consideration.
Bau posted a topic in SuggestionsHello everyone. I saw a lot of ideas for trade « If it is possible to do transfer days and xats, do trade xats, days, powers. - Why can't we trade Pawns too???? [Pawns - it's just an option, let's talk about this idea after] NOTE: About pawns, I have a similar idea, I can't find it. [This is different, it offers a panel only for pawns] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trade Store?! Wow How that´s possible?! Let's have a store for paid users. Store/shop: It allows you to add your powers in the store at a certain price without being on the trade you can sell. If you are on the trade and you are busy, or you go to eat, you have the opportunity to continue trading, with this you will be able to sell powers and days even when you are not at PC.

Copenhagen Diary
Even though I know that one day I will settle down, my mind will not.
Travelling and documenting my travels has always been a passion of mine. I journal, I take photos, making my life a never ending journey is something that I strive for. Discovering new cities, meeting new people, and eating unfamiliar dishes. Saying yes to adventures has led me to so many good decision and outcomes. You see, even though one day I will settle down, my mind will not. My weekend trip in Copenhagen has been one of the greatest trips I've had. Summer is slowly coming, and with the sun, it feels like Europe just couldn't get any more beautiful.
Okay, so having photos and visuals taking over the Internet, Copenhagen is certainly a good choice for #travelphotography. You have everything, rivers, European street views, alleys with pretty plants, and more of course. But my first impression of this Danish capital wasn't what I saw, but the cheerful atmosphere we experienced. We encountered a few of the most friendly strangers I've met for the past 20 years. The city itself is just so happy and positive, definitely a way to get us visitors addicted.
No trip is complete with some sort of brunch session. At least thats how it works between me and Cynthia. We never seem to book any hotel breakfast, because we like to see what the areas has too offer. And since oversleeping is kind of our thing, our breakfast plans always turns in to brunch reality (I'm sure you can relate). This time around its the Europa 1989. I had a full-on vegetarian brunch, which kept me full all the way to dinner.
在現在這個以圖像為主的時代,哥本哈根絕對是個好拍的地方。不過這次,再從飛機場前往旅館的路上,吸引我的並不是美麗的歐洲街景,反而是整個城市散發出來的氛圍 – 歡樂。是啊,丹麥一直都是被公認為世界上最快樂的國家,但輕身體驗過才知道,這樣正面的態度來自他們的步調、清閒的個性以及時常再陌生人臉上看見的友善笑容。比起美食與風景,我倒覺得這樣的感受更能吸引來自世界各地的遊客。
每次旅程來份豐盛的早午餐已經成了固定的行程。基本上,我現在訂旅館都選擇不包早餐的方案,除了能夠讓自己在周邊發覺不一樣的餐廳,同時也是因為我太常睡過早餐時間了(笑)這次選擇的是 Europa 1989 ,我選的是素食早午餐,口味不錯份量也夠。整段用餐時間,客人一組接著一組,可見在當地也是相當受歡迎的一家餐廳。
One of my favourite places in Copenhagen is the The Round Tower. Basically, you walk all the way to the top of the building (the stairs can get quite narrow when you're about to reach the top, so be careful) – and BOOM this is what the city has to offer. The wind is really strong up there, so I look like a crazy woman in most of my photos, but the view itself is pretty amazing.
這次到哥本哈根最愛的景點就是 The Round Tower,繞著建築往上走就能到頂樓看到整個市區的風景,很美麗。雖然哥本哈根的大樓不多,但房子和屋頂的顏色都算豐富,眺望著色彩的相互交錯,一切看來很平靜、與世無爭。循著上坡與階梯往頂往上走的時候,一路上還能通到不同的空間,看見不同的展示(如同下圖的教堂就是其中之一)。有些是畫廊、有些是古物的展間,當然也少不了讓人購物的禮品部(笑)
We did spend a fair amount time checking out the tourist spots. The Frederiks Kirke Church, the Gefion Fountain and of course, the famous little mermaid statue. I love every single one of them, and everywhere is basically in walking distance. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the crowd, but since we visited the places during the weekend, I was ready for all the tourists.
比起先前的旅行,這次走訪觀光景點的次數比較多。第一次來嘛,尊懷當地的歷史和背後故事也是種必要。所有的景點幾乎互相都能以步行的方式抵達 – 壯麗的教堂,可愛的彩色房屋又或是童趣的人魚雕像。因為是週末,加上天氣好,觀光客很多。於是,與其興致沖沖地前往合照,我選擇站在人群後方,靜靜地看。人魚雕像不大,青黑色的色彩和背後的水景及對岸相互應,這樣的景色也是要一定的距離才看到,絕對是不一樣的視覺收穫。
Not to mention the amazing Copenhagen design museum, we lost control of time so we only get to make a quick 20 mins visit. As sad as it sounds, it would be one of the reasons for me to revisit this place again. The truth is, visiting a place once will never be enough for me. There will always be new things to discover and I'll always be as curious as if I'm here for the first time.
You've been following my journey for a while now (can you believe its been 1.5 years since I started TLG?!), you know I've been to many cities, spent more or less time here and there. There is nothing else I love more than packing my suitcase, wondering around and getting lost a little. Sorry, if I'm being to sentimental, its been a while since travelled completely for leisure. And man, I miss it so much. x

Never waste suffering – Part II: The reflection
Archbishop Hughes visited me while I was injured and in bed on two occasions. On each visit, he offered some advice that stuck in my head:
It is important that we never waste suffering.

My first retreat as a seminarian
Well, I went on a retreat last week. It was a different retreat than I've ever been on before. This was a preached retreat, but, other than the preaching itself (and Mass, Office, etc), the retreat was in silence. So I was basically in silence from Tuesday evening until Saturday night. That was a challenge at many points, but it was also illuminating. It proved a wonderful transition into the deeper spiritual life of the seminary. In this post, I want to share some of my thoughts and a few excerpts from my journal on the retreat. It may be a bit disjointed. I'm not sure there's an elegant way to weave all of them together without wasting piles of space trying to artificially link things together. Continue reading "My first retreat as a seminarian"

Taking elements of post-rock, the sounds of early M83 and late Ulrich Schnauss - plus maybe even a pinch of mid-career BT - Telefon Tel Aviv snuck out their new album 'Immolate Yourself' a few weeks back.
BlackPlastic may have only just got around to commenting but Telefon Tel Aviv just might have gone and made the best straight up electronic album in a while. The strength here is really in the polish and attention to detail - the ambient melodies could easily have missed their mark if it wasn't for the layers of distortion and punchy drums that refuse to become enveloped in sound - each beat and stutter, each fragment of sound adds texture and detail.
With the rhythmic touches of breaks, the melodies of ambient house and the production quality of the best minimal techno 'Immolate Yourself' feels like a photographic image that literally stands up off the page.
The result is pretty glorious. The opening Birds lures the listener into an album that never gives up and whilst they know better than to stray too far from the template there is enough variety - in the 80s sheen and bubbling bass of Helen of Troy for example - to keep things interesting. Yet most of all it is the feelings Telefon Tel Aviv convey in their music that stays with the listener after 'Immolate Yourself' has drawn to a close.
Intelligent, emotive and modest.

Many people are excited for the iPhone 5, but a day after the reveal of the new device, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has shared his early opinion. Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg, Wozniak said that he's "always excited" when a new iPhone is revealed, and there's one thing in particular he's hoping for with this latest iteration. Specifically, Wozniak hopes that the iPhone 5 will deliver better photo quality over the iPhone 4.
"I am always excited about every iPhone product because there are always good advances," Wozniak said. "A better quality on the pictures will mean a lot, because when I show people pictures on my iPhone 4 and my Galaxy S III, they always say the Galaxy S III, or even the Motorola Razr, pictures look better." Wozniak also said that he thinks Apple has taken some "very important steps" with the latest iPhone, but will wait until he's actually able to test the iPhone 5 himself before making his final judgment on the new device.
The iPhone 4 has a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera, whereas the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, and Motorola DROID RAZR all have an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. The iPhone 5 comes with a number of improvements over its predecessors, including a larger 4-inch screen (as opposed to the 3.5-inch screen on the iPhone 4 and 4S), a thinner and more lightweight design, and perhaps most importantly, 4G LTE functionality. It will also come with iOS 6 pre-installed, which boasts a number of new features over iOS 5.
Oh, and for the record, Wozniak also gave his opinion on Apple's recent patent trial against Samsung. "I hate it," Wozniak said, presumably bluntly. "I don't think the decision of California will hold. And I don't agree with it — very small things I don't really call that innovative." Instead of courtroom tussles, Wozniak said he would prefer it if everyone would just agree to share patents, giving companies a pool of technology with which to make the best devices possible. That sounds perfect to us, to tell the truth, but unfortunately, we're thinking that companies like Apple and Samsung wouldn't be as receptive to the idea.

I must confess I am not in any way a fan of horror movies, and so I had some apprehension that this movie might degenerate into such a film. And you can tell from many of the reviews that those reviewers who went into the movie hoping to have the Devil scared out of them, were disappointed. No, this film is a psychological thriller, along the lines of Shutter Island, though without the surprise twist in the tale. I went to see this movie because Anthony Hopkins is one of my all time favorite actors, and he has memorably won awards for his performance of famous Christians— Paul in Peter and Paul in the 80s, C.S. Lewis in the Shadowlands in the 90s, to mention but two examples.
In this movie Hopkins is playing a real priest, Father Lucas Trevant, the exorcist, still practicing in a town near Florence, a man who, as the credits tell us, has performed some 2,000 exorcisms. The story is in fact based on a true story, an account written up by Matt Baglio and turned into a best seller (see picture above). Sometimes books don't turn into good movies, but this is not one of those times. There is in fact more theology in this movie than in the last ten I have reviewed on this blog.
The occasion for this movie is in fact what happened only last November at the Vatican, in which there was a meeting because of the ever increasing rise of the demonic, or at least reports of the demonic in Europe as well as in America and elsewhere in the world. The Vatican, as the story goes, decided it was time to put an exorcist in every large parish or diocese possible to deal with the increase in things demonic. This of course would require training priests in the ancient rite of exorcism (hence the name of the movie).
The movie then tells the story of a young man who grew up Catholic, the son of a mortician, and decided to go to seminary, and then on to Rome to learn about exorcisms. His name was and is Ted Kovaks, and he currently has a parish outside of Chicago. This story is not the stuff of Hollywood fantasies and imagination. It is a story based in a real spiritual journey of a real priest, a priest whose faith in God was somewhat shaky, and his belief in the Devil and demons even more so. In this sense, this movie, like the Meryl Streep movie could have been dubbed 'Doubt'. But in fact, it is more about convincing the priest, and indeed the audience of the reality of the demonic.
I must confess, I need no such convincing. I am already there. Recently a friend of mine named Sarah was asked to do a Discovery Channel special. Now Sarah is your prototypical modern person, very bright, likes to think of herself as open-minded, comes from a family of scientists and had serious doubts about the demonic. She was taken to some exorcisms and other such events, and came away pretty shaken up. She saw evil things she could not explain. I understand. And as she said to me "running into the Devil causes a crisis of faith, now I need to figure out what I believe about God".
Until you run face forward into the powers of darkness, it is easy to bracket all such thoughts out of your mind, or place it in the category of the boogeyman you feared lived under your bed when you were a child. I remember well an occasion when I went to my first exorcism service. There were people writhing on the floor of Tremont Temple Baptist Church in Boston, and it was easy enough to think some of this was sympathetic counterfeiting. But there were a couple of examples that were not at all like that, and scared me good. Demon possession, I am convinced is real, and it gives new meaning to the phrase 'don't get bent all out of shape'. But what of this movie?
As I said its a psychological thriller and develops its tension slowly, like bringing a pot gradually to a boil (the movie lasts less than two hours and has a PG-13 rating for a couple of intense scenes). The tension as it turns out dwells in the character played by a good Irish American boy Colin O'Donoghue. Unfortunately his performance does not rise at all to the level of Hopkins (about whom some are saying this is his most impress screen performance since Hannibal Lecter, indeed one could say he acts like a man possessed).Does young Mr. Kovaks believe in the Devil, or does he not? And can he be convinced of his existence through experiences? As Father Lucas tells him "failure to believe in the Devil will not protect you from the Devil". When Father Xavier asks young Kovaks "Do you believe in sin?" His answer is yes, but he adds 'But I don't believe the Devil makes me do it'. If a familiar and trite answer. It is nonetheless a good answer because Christians who have the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit in their lives cannot be possessed by demons, and indeed cannot be compelled by Satan to do this, that, or the other. Satan is rightly portrayed in this movie as being a deceiver, a misleader, a liar, a being who preys on human doubts and frailities. One of the dangers of this sort of movie is that Satan comes off looking strong and powerful, and Jesus and Christians come off looking like wimps. Needless to say 'wimp exorcist' is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. You don't go dance with the Devil or dabble with darkness regularly unless you have some courage. I remember in seminary my roommate's story of running into demon possession in a man in Bluefield West Virginia during a summer ministerial internship. The story still sends chills down my spine.
To its credit, this movie does not caricature priests or the Catholic church, and it certainly attempts to portray the powers of darkness as all too real, not the figments of human imagination, but it quite rightly tells us that a person, including a priest, first must pursue every normal psychological explanation for what is happening to a disturbed person, before entertaining the possibility of possession and the need for exorcism. Christians of course have problems, indeed sometimes psychological problems but one thing that is not the case is that Christians unawares can be possessed. This is just bad theology, and so it is unfortunate that Hopkins is portrayed as being a victim of possession at one juncture in this movie.
Unless a Christian renounces his Christian faith, the Devil may bewilder or bother, pester or pursue a Christian, but he cannot possess him. "Greater is he who is in us, than any of the forces in the world." There is entirely too much loose talk in some Christian circles about the Devil making Christians do this, that or the other and even more loose talk about having a cold that a demon created in you etc. Of this sort of thing the Bible says nothing. I even heard a seminary student once blame the Devil for his wreckless driving which led to him totally a professor's car!
The NT however does not let Christians off that easily. It calls us to take responsibility for all our actions, and it tells us that if we resist the Devil, he will flee. And have you noticed that in the more than half the NT which deals with Christian life after Pentecost, we hear nothing about Christians being possessed— for example, Paul doesn't even mention the word demon but once in all his letters? Demon possession is not a problem he confronted in the Christian church, it would appear, unless of course someone commits apostasy of some sort.
We need to maintain a balance then between giving the Devil his due, and giving him far too much credit. Jesus' death on the cross has already stripped the Devil and his minions of much of his power. But at the same time, as C.S. Lewis famously said in The Screwtape Letters, the Devil's best smokescreen is convincing us he doesn't exist.
This movie is not a great movie, not even with another fine performance by Anthony Hopkins. But you will hear more about Christ and the Devil in this movie than probably any other movie this year. It raises some of the right questions about faith and doubt and supernatural evil, and in that sense it has 'the Rite stuff'. It is worth seeing if for no other reason than it can prompt you to ask yourself— now what do I really believe about Satan and demons?

How often have you been in a project and you wanted to create a simple log file to log out errors and, if debugging an annoying error, parameter and variable values? I've wanted to do this a few times but there are a handful of references out there on how best to use TraceSource for logging. Of course you have your best resources of MSDN and StackOverflow, but I figured a bit more of an understandable example would be most helpful to everyone looking on how to easily implement this to their projects.
To get started in the simplest way, all you need to do is to update the config file to include the System.Diagnostics section and then update the code you want to log out the information that you want. Below is a similar example to what is shown on the previously mentioned MSDN article.
You may have noticed that I'm calling the Flush() and Close() methods on the TraceSource object. This is done to make sure the file gets written to and is closed properly. If you aren't getting everything written to your listener, these calls may be all that's needed. However, I've seen cases where it's not always required.
TraceSource can be used across layers of the application as well and you can create a source for each of the layers to do a bit of a separated logging. So if you have a wrapper class you wouldn't want to log as much as you might a business class that has all your business logic.
Of course, if you push to production and don't want all this logging until you need it, you can turn it off per the switch inside of the specific source.
To show how it's used for different classes, I'll use a standard Person/Employee class hierarchy. So below we have our two new classes:
Fairly basic classes here with some similarly basic methods. As you can tell with the methods, I'm logging some fairly verbose information out. So if there any problems with certain data, I can just look at the logs to see what the methods are using and their return value. This can be crucial in debugging a certain item when you have a decent sized data set. If this wasn't available you'd then have to go through each item in the data set by hand.
To separate out the log for each class or even a whole layer in your app, just create a new source for each layer you want to be logged separately. I'm using the same listener so they'll all go to the same place, but you're free to have each source have it's own listener.
And now you have your information logged:
PersonLog Information: 0 : Is John Doe valid - True
EmployeeLog Information: 0 : Is the IT department valid - True
This is just a basic use of TraceSource for logging information. I used a file to log out because I feel that it's fairly easy to use and you have one location for all your log statements. If you're used to log4net with the different additional appenders (listeners in terms of using TraceSource), then the Essential Diagnostics library will be a great addition to the project to further enhance using TraceSource for logging.
The full source for this example can be viewed on GitHub – TraceSourceLogging.

When one thinks of time, it can feel as if a second is over in a flash. A minute may take a little longer. A minute can also feel like an eternity depending on what is happening in that minute and one's frame of mind.
Ten minutes can feel like an eternity if one is waiting for an important phone call. Ten minutes can also feel like an eternity if one is standing in line waiting to check out in a store. Ten minutes absolutely feels like an eternity if your store's 3 Alarm retail anti-theft device is screaming at the shoplifter who just stole your merchandise.
That's right, a 3 Alarm tag will sound for a full ten full minutes before it ceases its audible alarm.
Hopefully 3 Alarm retail anti-theft devices will prevent shoplifting from the get-go. This system uses a three-step warning to persuade a shoplifter to change his ways if for some reason it does not initially deter the thief.
Step one in the warning system is the perimeter warning. If the tags get too close to the entry doors without being detached, an alarm will sound.
The second step occurs anytime a product is being tampered with by a potential thief. An alarm is generated if a shoplifter tries to disarm or detach 3 Alarm security products without the proper detacher.
Finally, if the shoplifter ignores all warnings and attempts to walk out the door with the product, a 3 Alarm tag will emit a siren for a full ten minutes. That is usually enough time for the shoplifter to come to his senses, drop the merchandise, and allow you to retrieve it before it walks out the door.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to find retail anti-theft devices that can be used with Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can reduce or altogether prevent shoplifting for your business.
For more information on how you can implement retail anti-theft devices and Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system to prevent shoplifting please contact us or call 1.866.914.2567.

A quarter of a century has passed since 8 March 1976, when we first celebrated International Women's Day at the United Nations. Twenty-five years on, we have many reasons to celebrate. Much progress has been achieved in the advancement of women -- from better legislation to greater participation, from the Cairo conference on population and development to the Beijing Platform for Action, from economic empowerment to intellectual emancipation.
But this International Women's Day is also a reminder that for the majority of the world's women, daily life remains a difficult and sometimes dangerous struggle. The past year has brought into sharper focus the objectives of gender equality, development and peace that remain at the heart of our agenda, and that are still far from being achieved.
Last June, the "Beijing Plus Five" Special Session of the General Assembly showed that while we have move forward in some areas in implementing the Beijing Platform, there are many points on which we have yet to make serious headway. In October, the UN Security Council highlighted one of the most pressing of these challenges when it held its first open debate on women, peace and security.
It is one of the tragic features of modern conflict that women and girls suffer its impact increasingly and disproportionately. They are neither the initiators nor the prosecutors of conflicts, and yet they have been specifically targeted, often as a way to humiliate the adversary and break the morale and resistance of whole societies. Steps have been taken to end the culture of impunity surrounding this lamentable practice -- both at the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and in the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. We must build further on that work.
And we must do more. As the Resolution adopted by the Security Council makes clear, we must address the issue of women, peace and security on several fronts. While women are often the first victims of armed conflict, they must also be recognized as a key to the solution. We must strive to integrate women more effectively in peace processes worldwide.
It is increasingly realized that women possess particular skills and experiences that enable them to contribute to all stages of a peace process. In times of conflict, it is often women who take over the running of homes, farms and villages. Women understand the root causes of tension and know which power groups within communities and countries are most likely to support peace initiatives. Women are able to work together and communicate across barriers and divides.
We must make greater use of that potential. We must ensure that these experiences are replicated at all levels, in national and international arenas. We must build partnerships among all actors -- governments, non-governmental organizations, community groups and the private sector -- to bring more women to the negotiating table and into decision-making positions. We must act on the understanding that women's full participation in preventing and resolving conflicts is essential for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security in the 21st century. On this International Women's Day of 2001, let that be our credo for a more peaceful millennium.

I am super excited about today's post! If you read my post on organising your personal photos, you'll know that I'm passionate about memory keeping. I joke that our house is like a shrine to ourselves because we have so many of our family photos displayed. I love being surrounded by memories of the most special milestones in our life, from getting married eight (!) years ago to bringing our eldest to the hospital to meet her new sister. I really don't think you can have too many photos on your walls, and some experts even say that family photos boost your child's self esteem and enhance their feeling of belonging.
I know that so many of us end up leaving our digital images on our computers and hard drives, and it can seem overwhelming to think about making photo albums and framing photos. I really want my clients to fully enjoy their images, so I've been wanting to incorporate tangible prints into my photography packages for a while now. I'm thrilled that from now on, all of my family, maternity and newborn sessions will include a handmade glass box with prints from your session, as well as an engraved USB with your digital negatives. The glass box is absolutely stunning (it also doubles nicely as a place to store jewellery) and I'm delighted to offer something so unique . My hope is that having prints in your hands right away will encourage you to frame and hang them where you'll see them every day.
The other thing I'm excited about is that I've finally started a newsletter! I'll be sending out a special promotion to celebrate my new packages soon, so be sure to sign up to the newsletter here. I know that our email inboxes can be another place for clutter in our lives, so I will only send out newsletters when I have something valuable to offer. Pinky promise.

Passing a kidney stone can be a painful experience. And kidney stones often recur. According to Roger L. Sur, MD, director of University of California San Diego Comprehensive Kidney Stone Center, if you've had one kidney stone, there is a 50 percent chance that you will develop another within five to 10 years. Although there are various strategies to prevent recurrence, you may be wondering what to do when you actually have a stone. Lemon juice is an alternative therapy; consult a health care professional before using it.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones occur when minerals and other substances in the urine combine to form a solid mass. The most common type of kidney stone is calcium-based; the calcium combines with oxalate or phosphate. Other types of kidney stones include uric acid, struvite and cysteine. Some stones will pass by themselves, but others may require medical treatment such as lithotripsy – crushing stones using shock waves – or surgical removal. None of the conventional treatments dissolves stones.
Citric Acid
Citrate or citric acid is common in citrus fruit, and lemons are an excellent source, according to a study published in the March 2008 "Journal of Endourology." Researchers compared lemons, limes, grapefruit and orange juice to determine the best source of citric acid. Citric acid helps to prevent kidney stones by increasing the acidity of the urine. One of the conventional medical treatments for kidney stones is potassium citrate, a form of citric acid combined with potassium.
Lemon Juice as Therapy
Dr. Edward Group, a naturopathic physician and founder of Global Healing Center, Inc., has a favorite kidney stone remedy. At the first sign of pain, drink 2 oz. of organic olive oil mixed with 2 oz. of organic lemon juice. Follow with 12 ounces of purified water and wait 30 minutes. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon in 12 oz. of purified water, add 1 tbsp. of organic raw apple cider vinegar, and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every hour until symptoms improve. As with starting any new treatments, consult your doctor first.
Considerations and Warnings
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that lemon juice actually helps to dissolve a stone. Dr. Group does not state how his treatment works and provides no data to support his recommendations. If you have kidney stone symptoms – back, abdominal or groin pain, nausea and vomiting, chills or fever – contact a health care professional.

Mac and I met at Txikto for some tapas. Knowing I don't really like corn on the cob, Mac ordered smoked anchovies with corn and greenbeans. I"d never had smoked anchovies before, they were great.
This was something we had a lot in Barcelona, here it was called silverfish (tiny fried fish) over arugula with an easy over egg underneath.
Here these are called piperrak.
We drank txakolina. It's a slightly fizzy white wine that is dramatically poured into your glass.
Mussels and white beans. It looks a little like throw up, but tasted great.

Duncan Strong
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
|Golden Company
|A Dance with Dragons (appears)
Duncan Strong is a sellsword in service to the Golden Company. As a serjeant, he is a high-ranking officer.[1]
Duncan wears his worldly wealth upon his person and a lord's ransom in golden arm rings. Each ring signifies one year's service with the Golden Company.[2]
Duncan is a Westerosi exile. His surname Strong is of a house that had once loomed large in the histories of the Seven Kingdoms. He may or may not be of House Strong, as in the free companies a man can call himself whatever he chooses.[2] He may be related to another serjeant in the company, Denys Strong.
Recent Events
A Dance with Dragons
Duncan, like the rest of the company, swears his allegiance to Aegon Targaryen in Volon Therys before they invade Westeros.[2][1]

When To travel to Rote island
Rote Island has different seasons regarding weather and tourist numbers. Rote has good waves from March until November, the biggest swell comes in between May and September when the trade winds blow offshore and the breaks pick-up the south and southwest swells coming up from Antarctica.
Dry Season (April – November)
July and august are typically the coolest months with a steady breeze blowing for most of the day. Actively exploring Rote can be less straining in these temperatures with the added advantage of cooler nights to snuggle into. Still it won't drop below 20/25° C – no need to pack the woolies!
Shoulder Seasons (March/April & October/November)
During the shoulder seasons in March/April and October/November it is generally warmer with less wind and a less consistent swell, though less people. This low season is the perfect time to come if you want peace and quiet.
Wet season (December – March)
Heavy rains and the storms come in from the south when temperatures and humidity are at their highest.

The beginning of a new year is as good a time as any to reflect on whether there are things we'd like to revise our change. As I'm typing this, commenter John M. (on another thread about the disappointing levels of Biblical literacy among media types and others) suggests, for instance:
While Carl helpfully points out above, the Bible is better studied for a lifetime rather than read through once, I'd encourage any journalists who haven't done so to read through it once. If read 15-20 minutes per day, it can be read through in a year without much trouble. And it is a new year. There are a variety of ways to do it that range from simply picking it up and reading approximately 4 chapters per day to higher-tech versions like downloading the YouVersion Bible app for Android or iOS, which has a number of plans to choose from that will ride around in your pocket with you.
One of my favorite pundits started an annual tradition of highlighting his worst errors or mistakes in the previous year and it's a great idea.
The Washington Post fact checker did a mea culpa of sorts, even admitting that calling noted eugenicist Margaret Sanger a "racial pioneer" might have been a poor choice of words. We looked at that issue here and here.
The Washington Post ombudsman Patrick B. Pexton, billed as the guy who "gives voice to reader concerns" had a fun column on Sunday.
He noted that many readers wrote in about Melinda Henneberger's Dec. 23 story on Newt Gingrich's Catholicism. (Not to be confused with this story on Calista Gingrich that tmatt reviewed here.)
"I propose a New Year's resolution for you, namely to insist that The Washington Post stop using the phrase 'faith-based' to describe political events unless they are quoting [someone using the phrase,]" wrote D.C. reader Michael Rosenthal.
He goes on to say that faith-based has largely come to mean Christian-themed events, charities or rallies, largely associated with Republicans and conservatives, and that it implies that adherents of other faiths aren't included.
"A similar objection might be raised to the use of 'values' as a descriptor of political events or candidates," Rosenthal added. "In any case, they invite invidious comparison with others, suggesting either that they lack faith or lack values or both."
I think Rosenthal is right. On first glance, the term faith-based seems a neutral descriptor for something that grows out of religion. I went through a host of recent Post stories in which this phrase appeared. In the vast majority of cases, the word "religious" fits as a perfect substitute, is more neutral, shorter, less awkward, and doesn't' imply whether The Post, or any journalist, knows the depth of a person's or organization's faith.
As a journalist, I can tell when something is religious, or religiously themed, but I can't determine the depth of anyone's faith.
A "faith-based" organization is a religious organization. "Gingrich is running an overtly faith-based presidential campaign" is the same as saying Gingrich is running an overtly religious presidential campaign. Faith-based charities running government-funded social programs are the same as religious charities running government-funded social programs. When we mean religion or religious, let's say so. When it's Christian, Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim, let's be specific, and use the fuzzy "faith-based." Okay, sermon over.
I agree with Pexton, even if I don't quite agree with the reader's critique. The use of the term "faith-based" is definitely a recent trend that's caught fire at the expense of efficiency and clarity. However, I haven't seen it used in a partisan sense. It wasn't that long ago that we were talking about President Obama's explicitly faith-based campaigning, after all. And President Obama has a White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Yes, that grew out of President Bush's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. But that grew out of President Clinton's Charitable Choice and Faith-Based Initiatives. This is a term without partisan connotations. Still, I don't really see the usefulness of the neologism, unless you're trying to avoid too much repetition of the term "religious."
I do agree, however, with the reader's point that the term "values" invites invidious comparisons. Reporters never notice religious motivation when it simply means that a candidate has decided he can best serve God by running for office. They do notice religious motivation when the candidate makes sure to mention Jesus or his grandma's Baptist church or whatever. Media types need to be savvier than this.
Anyway, what do you think? Is the "faith-based" trend on its way out? Anything else you'd like to see eased on out during 2012? And speaking of 2012, a friend notified me that she just checked her new calendar and it does, in fact, end in December 2012. The Mayans may have been on to something.

About a year and a half ago, I was about ready to embark on the greatest adventure of my life thus far. I was eight months pregnant and my family and friends were coming together to celebrate the birth of my first child!
Now, my hubby and I opted to not find out the sex of the baby until he/she joined us in this world. I know, not the norm… but it was an amazing surprise in the birthing room and it worked for us.
So, because of that planning a baby shower became a little more difficult. I did not want an all yellow baby shower, so I decided to focus the theme of the shower towards my interests.
We had a Parisian Cafe "Bonjour Bébé" themed shower! It was so much fun… pastries, biscotti (I know, Italian… but I love them!) and coffee cupcakes! It was the perfect way to welcome our little bundle of joy. Again, I want to thank all of my dear family and friends who came together to make my shower simply perfect!
Shortly after, I was given my push present from my hubby!! I have the best hubby ever! It was such an amazing surprise.
A star to represent our new little star.
Me at 31 weeks. Can't believe that was just a year and a half ago.

Goats are 'browsers', this means they will prefer to eat bushes, trees, bark and scrub over grass and will graze on small quantities throughout the day. Since they are ruminants the majority of their diet should be forage based, although supplemental feeding may be required for growth and during late gestation and lactation. Any adjustments in food should be done slowly to allow the rumen flora to adapt.
Copper is vital to a goat's nutrition and so always feed a mineral supplement or concentrate feed that provides a source of copper. Salt licks should be available at all times.
Housing & Fencing
Goats are curious and independent and as a result they will often climb on fences to reach hedgerows and find escape routes. High stock fencing or electric fencing is most suitable, but make sure all electrical wires and fittings are kept out of reach.
Shelter is a must for all goats, either by form of indoor housing or a field shelter for those kept mainly outdoors.
Kids will benefit from things to play with such as a bench or small bales to climb on, but be careful to ensure that any hay racks or feed troughs have lids to prevent goats getting stuck or sustaining injuries as a result of misadventure.
Due to their browsing behaviour, goats develop limited immunity to worms and so will need lifelong regular worming control. They also metabolise worming products much faster than sheep so will often require 1.5-2 times the sheep dosing.
Worming control should be monitored using routine faecal egg counts (we can do these in house, please bring us a sample!) and managed using grazing cycles and reducing resistant worms.
Common Diseases
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA)
CLA is a chronic disease caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.
Symptoms include large masses around the head and neck associated with abscessation of lymph nodes.
If these burst, they release highly infectious pus material. Internal abscessation in severe cases can lead to weight loss, reduced appetite and death.
Infection is by direct contact, by sharing troughs and via the environment.
Prevention is aimed at following good biosecurity measures and maintaining a closed herd or purchasing replacement stock from accredited herds. Purchased animals should be quarantined for 4 weeks and blood tested.
Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis (CAE)
CAE is a viral disease, closely related to Maedi Visna in sheep, spread predominantly via colostrum shortly after birth.
Symptoms include sudden loss of condition, painful and swollen joints (particularly the knee), or misshapen and hard udder. Diagnosis is via blood tests.
Prevention of CAE is similar to Johne's (see above), by establishing herd status, removing infected animals, keeping a closed herd or buying accredited animals and good hygiene during kidding.
Johne's disease
Johne's is caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis avium, animals are infected early in life but do not show signs of disease until several years later.
Symptoms include weight loss and poor performance. Unlike in cattle, diarrhoea is not a typical feature. Diagnosis requires a combination of blood test, faecal tests and post mortem examination.
It is spread via faecal contamination of the environment, during pregnancy from dam to kid, and via colostrum.
Prevention is by
- Establishing herd status via blood tests and removing infected animals
- Maintaining a closed herd or purchase replacements from accredited herds and quarantine for 4 weeks
- Ensure newborn kids receive sufficient colostrum that is not from infected dams (never feed pooled colostrum)
- Keep the kidding area clean with deep fresh bedding to avoid faecal contamination.

This week's episode was recorded LIVE at Resident in downtown LA, as a part of The Voyager Institute's lecture series. So you may hear some noises in the background that you're not normally accustomed to - audience members laughing, drinks being made, and people having the best night of their lives! We have on the program the co-creator of Lifetime's 'UnREAL', Sarah Gertrude Shapiro. She's on to talk about the beloved, 90's, goth-inspiring masterpiece, The Craft. April and Sarah discuss their love for the campiness of the film and the perfect casting of Fairuza Balk as the evil teenage witch, Nancy. Sarah also elaborates on what it is like running a TV show. She dives into the challenges of directing an episode while also needing to be in the writing room. Plus, she details her journey from working on 'The Bachelor', to ending up in advertising in Portland, to creating her own TV show.
UnREAL is on Lifetime now.
If you haven't seen it yet, go watch The Craft

OoooOOOOOooooOOoo... it's a little past Halloween, but the wonder twins have got the spirit! They are bringing you a Spoooootacular Episode. Nnekay has got her candle set up which reminds James of The Craft and our girl Rachel True- who actually reads Tarot Cards. Nnekay recently watched The Craft and she was reminded of super sexy giant windbreakers and khakis... and some weird problematic themes exhibited in the movie which might speak to the climate we're currently dealing with in Hollywood. James is living that #blessed life and got to see a screening of Thor: Ragnorok. He literally had to use some mind trips to expand time to make it in time. He says it's amazing and we all need to rush out to go see it. They also talk about how the NFL keeps fucking up! This time they have Justin Timberlake performing the half time show at the Super Bowl. Why is this a tragedy? You might remember a little thing called "nipplegate". Nnekay and James break it down why this is a mess and a disrespect to Janet Jackson. In James' Korner, he needs help, yet again with side eyeing his heroes. This time it's Kevin Spacey. James' unpacks sexual assault and why Kevin Spacey's coming out is a distraction and how to deal when your hero fails you. In Nnekay's Korner, she is so tried and sick of people taking google for granted and wants to give some tips on how to take research seriously! She talks bias, and how to truly understand what you are reading. Enjoy the episode!

20th Anniversary Rockman Goods/
Game Watch is showing off some of the goods those attending the Rockman 20th anniversary event in Tokyo will be able to get their hands on. There's the crystal key chain we've seen previously, cutesy Rockman dolls and art files. Then there's sprite adorned wristbands, scarves and mugs. And finally for the very fashion conscious, they have 20th anniversary shirts, jerseys and windbreakers. Maybe Capcom'll be nice and bring some of this stuff over to the west. That's probably the only way one of those shirts would fit on my American body.
