It made me think--where would we be without volunteers? In the United States, over 8 billion hours were contributed by volunteers in 2010 (the latest year for these statistics). Their service hours have been valued at almost $173 billion. No doubt, many important service agencies would not be able to exist without the help of volunteers.
We can also find volunteers in the garden as well. Though they may not be as significant or contribute to the well-being of society as human volunteers do, these volunteers often provide some unexpected beauty as well as a bonus to a gardener on a budget. This year has seen an outpouring of volunteer plants in my garden who deserve a little recognition.
There are always a few volunteers I can count on to re-appear every year. I haven't planted a cleome in several years, yet a few always manage to pop up every summer, usually in unexpected places. This one showed up at the front of the lily bed, not the best place for such a tall plant, but since the lilies behind it are pretty much done for the season, I've left it alone. Another cleome that was definitely out of place was moved to a more suitable location in the arbor bed. I've always thought that cleomes were fussy about being transplanted, but it has survived the move.
Rudbeckias are another faithful volunteer, but this one now flopping over in the lily bed, is different from any of the Rudbeckias I've actually planted. Not only that, but I have never planted any in this garden bed--I suspect the birds decided to do a little garden designing here.
Some plants are notorious self-seeders, so it is no wonder they come back to volunteer each year. One look at this nigella seedpod explains why I have a profusion of these every spring without lifting a finger.
Self-seeding volunteers are always appreciated, although sometimes they can get carried away with their exuberance. I've mentioned before the nicotania--seen here to the right of the transplanted cleome--which nearly took over my arbor bed. Since I had never grown nicotania until last year, I had no idea how much they re-seed themselves. Earlier, I dug up countless seedlings to give away, but I finally had to pull out at least half of the remaining plants. It's hard for me to pull out and actually throw away something that is blooming, especially such a long-lasting bloomer as this, but they were beginning to engulf some other special plants, so that I really had no choice.
Another first-time re-seeder is the cardinal vine. Last year I planted a few seeds given to me by friend Lisa and had planned to plant more this year to climb up one side of the arbor bench trellis. But before I had a chance to plant any, I noticed little seedlings everywhere around the bench. They seem undeterred by the hyacinth monster that is once again climbing the trellis and have branched out to wind around other plants nearby. I've had to curb their sprawling habits, but otherwise, they're staying put--the hummingbirds love this vine!
I can't blame the birds or anyone else, though, for the volunteers in my vegetable garden. Late last fall, I got rather lazy as I was cleaning up the many pumpkins my daughter decided to buy for Halloween. After carrying several loads to the compost pile, my arms were tired, so I just decided to throw the remaining ones on the vegetable garden, thinking they would add a few nutrients there. My husband warned me this was a mistake, but I said it was no big deal to pull out any volunteers that came up from the seeds. Ha! Famous last words:) If I hadn't pulled or hoed out so many seedlings, I could have had my own pumpkin patch this fall. Still, a few plants escaped the hoe, and I now have a few small pumpkins of unknown variety to intrigue the grandkids.
One of the most pleasant surprises this year, though, has been this salvia. This spring I searched every nearby garden center for 'Black and Blue' salvia with no luck, until I finally found two half-dead plants at a small outlet where I purchased them for half-price. I thought my neglect in watering them gave them the final death blow, but they are recovering and starting to bloom. In the meantime, though, one day I noticed a volunteer plant in the middle of the lily bed--yes, it's a 'Black and Blue' that somehow survived the winter and is now twice as large as the ones planted this spring!

Rice Race Prep will be running Misha Goikhberg in the FRP F1600 Championship events at Road Atlanta and Watkins Glen.
Misha raced the Watkins Glen event in 2014, finishing 7th in Race 1 and winning race 2. Fast forward to 2018, and the IMSA Prototype and TransAm driver was scheduled to race the RRP Mygale at the FRP F1600 Watkins Glen event. After pacing testing, Misha was caught out by a puddle on the first lap of qualifying, crashing badly, and never turned another lap. "We have some unfinished business with Misha in FRP. Hopefully, he can get away from the feast or famine results" comments team owner Greg Rice. "Misha will be turning the #13 Mygale over to some other notable drivers, for the balance of the season, and we expect to visit the podium on a regular basis."

Let's say you have a Word document (or a similar file) someone opened and forgot to close and now you can't edit it because it's locked! What to do?!
Disconnect user who is associated with the locked file from the machine they are currently using. (Normally you get the username from the lock error pop-up)
Go to your file serve r– Right Click My computer – Click Manage – Expand Server Manager – Click Roles – Click File Services
Click on the Share and Storage management.
Under the actions menu on the right Click on "Manages Sessions…" , look for any related open sessions and close all of them
Under actions menu on the right Click on "Manages Open Files…" , look for any related open sessions and close all of them
At this point you should be ok to open your shared file now to edit.
If you read this and want to add more detail feel free... I figured I would share this for those who either forgot or never had to do this :)
That's really handy, works well with this https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/116098-create-an-mmc-snapin-to-list-open-files-on-shares - Open Files on Shares
LWBM - Nice Suggestion to add the link with MMC Snapin
Is this feature available in Server 2012R2? Can't seem to find it.
Hang on - I found the answer, thanks spice works:
Another option is to install RSAT on your PC.
Then you open Share and Storage Management on your PC and tell it to connect to the Server. Everything else is the same.
Nice write up. I have an employee that we just terminated and a document she worked with everyday was locked for editing. We rebooted the machine she was logged in to but that didn't fix the problem. This did just the trick. Thanks!
I had the same issue where and Excel file was saying that it was locked or Read-Only by me. I have tried to look for open files but nothing will show, I even restart my computer and the file still show as lock. I did some research and found that the file was still open on the following path: C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\ once you file your file just delete it and will open up normally.
Just find the lock file that office creates and delete it
I added to the title ..."on a domain network" since this is more relevant to files on a file server attached to a domain...
Don't forget about the free Microsoft/Sysinternals Handle.exe to tell you which process has a file locked, even if it isn't locked by a share.
Cool - Now I know about File Services in server manager.
I still find the old way easy-peasy
I usually start by right clicking "Computer" and selecting Manage, Then in the computer management console, I "Connect to another computer" (The server).
From there, I expand System Tools > Shared Folders > Open files.
Then I find the file and unlock it by right clicking on it and selecting "Close open Files"
Like OldSpice above, I do this all from Computer Management on my local PC. Don't even need RSAT. With Windows 10, they added the connection to Computer Management by right-clicking on the Start button. Connect to Other Computer, type in my file server, System Tools, Shared Folders, and Bob's your uncle.
I do this all the time when I'm making tweaks to our MS Access front end and I need to kick people out to save the ADE file.

Sometimes I style myself as "a poet, essayist and critic," and what I have in mind by "critic" is my work as a book reviewer and literary commentator.
I've always enjoyed book reviewing, and over the years I've written a couple of hundred, I guess. A book review, written a certain way, is an essay, a thing Anne Fadiman affirms in her introduction to Best American Essays 2003. Even a short review—and I've written mostly reviews of a couple of hundred words, an exacting constraint, over the past years, most of them for The Bulletin—can be a brief essay. Good reviews don't just retell the story; nor is their primary purpose to tell you whether you should read the book or not. Good reviews converse with the book; they pick up an idea and develop it. That's what I tried to do in my short review of Cormac McCarthy's fine novel, The Road. The trick is to find something worth saying beyond a précis of the book, while not stealing its thunder. It's a thing I try to do even if I hate the book (see my review of Norman Mailer's The Castle in the Forest) or feel only mildly engaged by it (see my review of Dave Eggers's novel, What is the What? and Brenda Niall's memoir, Life Class).
I wrote a PhD some years ago; my book The Land's Wild Music came out of that time. For a period I thought I might become a university teacher of writing and literature. I have written a few essays of literary criticism, though I've always steered clear of the recondite and abstract prose that the academy favours these days. In a way, the extended studies I make of the works of Barry Lopez and the others in The Land's Wild Music are such writing. One essay I'm pleased with is my study of the poetry of Robert Gray, an Australian poet I have admired for many years. That essay is called "Under the Mountains and Beside a Creek". It appears in an altered version in an anthology called The Littoral Zone.

An you know what, from all of them I might only play 4-5 max, and how many I still didn't even installed once, or played or actual finished.
And yet I still have a wish-list with so many games on it, and keep adding more and more, and fool myself its just one more, its the last one I will get.
And then I see a steam sale, and end up buying one or 2 games, and what happens ?
Oh crap I don't want to play this games I have, that I just got 5 minutes ago, I need to get that one, the one that just got release, that costs 50 €, that I don't have.
Yup, I think I stopped playing games, and i am hoarding as many as I can.
That is the game now, not playing the actual games, oh no no !!!!
The game now is buying more and more, just to get more and more.
But have no fear, I still play my MMO so all is good, I don't have much time now to buy steam games, or do I ?

In samples which come bundled with Sonic's licenced version we have example on how to post a file to a HTTP acceptor.This HTTP acceptor represents a queue. A sonic process/service listens to that queue and does any processing to the submitted file which gets received as a Multipart message.
Now we want to post not only a file but also username & password - our usual scenario of a html/jsp page with 3 controls: a text box for username, another text box for password & a textarea where we paste contents of an xml file.In this case sonic HTTP acceptor does not receive the body of the message only some ESB & JMS headers are received.
Would appreciate a quick solution on this as we are coming to the view that only a servlet can handle this kindf of scenario.
I think you want to treat the sonic broker (and the HTTP Acceptor) as a Web Server and have it respond to POSTs that are application/x-www-form-urencoded. You should see the message coming in this way if you POST to the HTTP Direct Basic acceptor. The problem is how to unencode this -- something servlets do well. I know some customers have done this, and you might find an example in code share for that.
However, I would also point out that this is probably misusing sonic brokers which really are not web servers. The issues come up in terms of serving static files, and handing things like cookies and sessions. While you can get this to work in limited cases, it probably is not the architecture you really want. If the target user is in a broswer, then you'd be better off talking to a full web server that can handle htmp, jsp, etc, and not using Sonic brokers for this. The servlet could send to Sonic either as HTTP direct or JMS over HTTP to get the info into sonic.
P.S. You should probably post this under PSDN > Sonic and not the Code Share area.

Other Treatments for Menopause
by Amy Scholten, MPH
There are numerous over-the-counter products available that claim to relieve symptoms of menopause. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of these nonprescription products for the treatment of menopause-related conditions. Since there may be potential risks involved in using any product, you should discuss these products with your doctor.
Nonprescription products that may relieve menopause symptoms include:
Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
Many women can benefit from taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement. If your menstrual periods are very heavy during perimenopause, your doctor may recommend taking an iron supplement. If you do not get adequate calcium in your diet and your multivitamin and mineral supplement does not contain the daily requirement for calcium, you may need a separate calcium supplement. If you suffer from hot flashes, phytoestrogens or remifemin may be advised.
Vaginal Lubricants and Moisturizers
Water-soluble vaginal lubricants and moisturizers can help relieve problems due to vaginal dryness, such as painful intercourse. Unlike lubricants, moisturizers can work directly on the vaginal tissue to make it less dry. Do not use any products that are not designed for vaginal dryness. Though vaginal lubricants and moisturizers can help, they do not cure vaginal dryness and atrophy because the underlying cause is lack of estrogen. Prescription estrogen therapy can help treat vaginal atrophy.

Cinder Road
Michelle LaRose talks with Mike Ruocco for Garage Radio Magazine
Photographs by Michelle LaRose
With the release of their first album, Superhuman, Baltimore's Cinder Road is poised in a 'take no prisoners' fashion to leave their mark across the country.
Mike Ruocco, Chris Shucosky, Pat Patrick, Nat Doegen and Mac Calvvaresi are proving that good old fashioned all American rock and roll is alive and well.
Fresh off the road with Daughtry and currently on the road with Candlebox singer Mike Ruocco found a free moment to sit with us and acquaint us with this new band to watch out for.
GR: You are relatively new to the national scene. For those that don't know Cinder Road, how would you describe your music?
Mike: I'd say that Cinder Road is just a good old fashioned rock and roll band. We grew up listening to a lot of the arena rock, 80's bands and a lot of the classic rock too. Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and stuff like that. Basically we're a rock and roll band with an arena rock twist and also factoring in that it is 2007 so we've got a modern flavor to our music as well.
GR: How would you describe your stage show?
Mike: Our stage show is real energetic very over the top. We try to make it as interactive as humanly possible. It's all about the energy and using every inch of the stage that we can. It's a good time. We try to have a lot of fun when we play. It's not about preaching about this, that and the other it's about having a good time and getting the crowd up and going.
GR: You were discovered by the Union Entertainment Group. How did that come about?
Mike: When we were an unsigned band back in Baltimore… we've always had a lot to do with our own web site and myspace. We've always kept a good web presence and there's an industry web site called Kings Of A&R and Kings Of A&R did a little write up on Plunge, what we used to be called. Union found us through there and sent me an email and we wound up talking and eventually they flew us out to L.A. to meet and the rest is all history.
GR: Your debut album is 'Superhuman', what can you tell us about the album?
Mike: The album came out June 19th. I wrote the album and recorded it with producer Marti Frederiksen who did Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard Faith Hill and all these great artists. It was an awesome experience. We did it out in California at Marti's house. So it was basically the two of us locked up in the studio for months and months on end and we really took our time making this record because I wanted to make just a great rock record start to finish. Something you could listen to all the way through, something that would just not have one single and ten other songs that sounded exactly the same.
GR: You co-wrote with Marti. What was it like to co-write with such a seasoned pro?
Mike: Previous to making this record I hadn't really co-written before so I wanted to take the opportunity in making this new record to explore writing with other people just to see how it felt and how it worked. I wrote with a lot of other artists and Marti being one of the first and the one that I definitely hit it off with the most… I think it was intimidating before I even got to the studio but once I got there we just started talking and we cracked a couple beers and started writing. It was just like two buddies sitting down and writing songs. The great thing was we became friends very quickly and if I came up with an idea he could finish it how I would have wanted to. If he came up with an idea I would throw a suggestion out there and it would usually work. It was a great working relationship. I have to tell ya' the first day that we ever wrote together… we were working on the fist song that we ever wrote and he got a call on his cell phone, it was Steven Tyler and I could hear it. I could hear Steven's voice on the other end of the phone it's just such a distinctive voice and Marti's just like "Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm going to get those mixes to ya' I'll call ya' back, I gotta' call you back I'm in a session." Very nonchalant for Marti. For me it was like Oh my God. I met him too.
Mike: Yeah. I hung out with him in the studio.
GR: Was he cool?
Mike: Very. It was everything I would have wanted it to be.
GR: Oh man. You're so lucky! Where does the title 'Superhuman' come from?
Mike: When I was making the record, as a lot of people may or may not know, working in the music business is probably one of the toughest things you could do. So many things are out of your control, so many other factors can affect your career and your chances of success. I was talking to my dad when I was in L.A., he was home in Baltimore and I said, "You know what? You'd have to be superhuman to survive in this business." And that's where the song came from, it was like, "I've got to name the record that."
GR: Superhuman is your debut album so what is this album we keep seeing called Hometown Hero?
Mike: Hometown Hero was the full length album that Plunge, our previous band put out. Plunge was a band that I started with… Chris and Mac were in the band eventually but back in 1995 that was basically the only band that I was in and I was eleven, twelve years old when I started that band. Chris and I grew up next door to each other and Mac grew up right down the street. Three of the five of us were in Plunge since 1995. We asked Pat to join a little over a year ago. Nat came at the beginning of the year and at the beginning of the year is when we changed from Plunge to Cinder Road. We tried to buy the name Plunge but there was another band that owned it so we had to change the name and took that opportunity to start fresh and start again. New album, some new members, new tour, new year, let's just start over and try to make this thing happen.
GR: Your single from the album is "Get In Get Out". You made the video and your fans are begging for it. There's still no release date?
Mike: Last night I put it out. I released it yesterday and it's actually been viewed 9,000 times.
GR: Where can we see that, myspace?
Mike: You can see it on myspace, YouTube or on our website.
GR: You guys have performed for our military overseas. Did you get a chance to talk to them and what are they saying?
Mike: We've done five military tours overseas. We've been to Japan, Okinawa, South Korea, Guam, Greenland, Hawaii, all to play for the troops. It was a great experience. We really enjoyed going over there. I think certain bands perhaps would take that opportunity to express some political opinions or views, that's not the kind of band we are, it's not what I like to promote. When we went over there, we went over there with the sole purpose of entertaining the troops and putting on a show for a couple of hours and taking them away from whatever their day to day job was and that's what we accomplished. The bottom line is a lot of the people that are in the military right now don't have a choice. They have to be in the military because it's the only way they can get to school or move out of their little town in the mid west and a lot of them also want to be there. They want to be overseas. They want to be doing a job. But like I said, we went over there, we hung out with the guys, men and women, we stayed in the same barracks and we got drunk at the same bars and officer's clubs and had a blast with it.
GR: You are currently having the "Cinder Road VIP Flyaway Getaway". What are the rules for that and what is the deadline?
Mike: Ooo. I don't know what the deadline is on that! I believe it's the end of this month [July 2007]. What it is, through our street team they've come up with this whole contest that's based on a point system where if you do certain promotional things for the band, turn on a friend to the music, somebody you know buys a CD or you go to a show and you flyer an up coming concert or just different promotional things you're awarded points and the points are racked up and kept tally of and whoever get the most points gets two airline tickets flown to any Cinder Road show in the country and they get free tickets to the show and the whole VIP treatment for the show.
GR: We need to start flyering St. Pete!
[Both laughing]
GR: You've been on the road with (Chris) Daughtry who's relatively new to the scene himself but now you're on the road with Candlebox, guys that have been around the block once or twice; What have you learned from being on the road with veterans such as Candlebox?
Mike: This has been an amazing experience start to finish. These guys have been a band for so long, they've toured for so long and they've done everything we could ever dream of doing. They've headlined arenas and played little clubs, toured in a bus and toured in a van had platinum records and number one hit singles. I just take every opportunity I can to pick Kevin, the singer's, brain about different things. We've actually all become very, very close on this tour. We all hang out every day and eat dinner and lunch together and cook out on days off. We watch each others show every night. It's a real family style tour which has been great.
GR: Let's talk about The Cinder Road Video Tour Diary as seen on Youtube.com. Who thought of this, you? Management? The label?
Mike: I have to give credit where credit is due… Chris Daughtry would do tour diaries. He only did a handful of them but at the beginning of the tour he was doing them once every few days and then kind of fell off doing it. I was like, "Man, that's a really good idea." I started doing it and since then thirty or forty of them. I do them every couple of days. The fans have really come to expect new ones all the time so I have to do a new one speaking of that but they love em'. And we have a good time doing them. It's hard to keep them all funny but we do enjoy doing them.
GR: It's a ground breaking idea and we love it! One of the stars of The Video Tour Diary was 'Stupid'. We saw 'Stupid' died and you laid him to rest in Asheville N.C. We are all dying to know what happened to 'Stupid'?
Mike: He was a Japanese fighting fish and we put him in a fight and certain people thought he died as a result of the fight. He did not. After the fight, a couple of days later in fact he was on the bus in his tank, we were all in the hotel and for whatever reason it got particularly cold that night and his water just got too cold and he didn't make it through the night. We came out to find him upside down.
GR: Do you guys want another Beta or are your 'Stupid' days behind you?
Mike: we thought about it. [Nat is in the bunk area of the bus vehemently shaking his head "No"] Having a live animal on the bus is a bit of a risk. It was enjoyable having him on the bus because you could sit there and look and it was kind of peaceful. I don't know if we'll have another pet though. We'll have to see.
GR: Stupid was great! Everybody loved him in the Tour Diary's he was a star!
Mike: He was more popular than we are!
[Both laughing]
GR: You and Josh Paul did a number as the 'Terrible Two' on the Video Tour Diary. Your fans are salivating. Can we expect more from the 'Terrible Two'?
Mike: I was text messaging with Josh Paul just two days ago. I have an idea for another song. We were going to do another one on the tour but I didn't have time. Josh and I, we're going to get back together. The first song came out too good for us not to do another one. We wrote it as a joke! Then we were like, "This is really good, we should do something with this!"
GR: One of our favorite Video Tour Diaries is 'Fun With Tazers'. Do you find a need to have a tazer on the road with you?
Mike: I use a quote from Spinal Tap, it's more of a tokenistic piece. We could have used it a couple of times on the road. I don't know why it wound up here or how it wound up on the bus, our merch guy brought it and of course after a number of drinks and Chris and I not being able to get into the Grammy party we were supposed to get into we decided to entertain ourselves by shocking everyone with a tazer.
GR: I have a tazer but I'm not willing to pop myself with it like you guys did. What was it like?
Mike: The tazer that we used on ourselves was more of a Fisher Price brand tazer it wasn't like a police brand issue. I wouldn't suggest that anyone taze themselves.
GR: So it won't take a man down as it claims?
Mike: It hurts but the tazer we used would not take someone down. It's scarier than it is painful. [Lauging]
GR: Well Mike I'd like to thank you very much for speaking with Garage Radio Magazine today.
Mike: My pleasure.

Cyrano Therapeutics
New Nasal Spray Stimulates Olfactory Receptor Growth, Improving Sense of Smell and Taste
Fairfax, Virginia — Expanding its portfolio of innovative health solutions, the Inova Personalized Health Accelerator (IPHA) has invested in a new therapy company that is developing a solution to address a major unmet need in patients with olfactory impairment. Sense of smell can often be taken for granted, until it is lost. This occurs most commonly by sino-nasal disease and upper respiratory infection, and in many cases, by head trauma. Cyrano Therapeutics understands the profound impact these senses can have on quality of life and is developing the first safe and effective nasal spray to restore and maintain the sense of smell and its connection with the ability to detect flavor in food (often perceived as taste). According to the peer-reviewed journal BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders, 14 million patients in the United States have olfactory impairment or loss of smell, yet few treatments are available.
"Without smell there is a diminished sense of taste and with it a diminished ability to detect flavor in food. Both smell and taste enhance our lives and provide pleasure, but they also serve as a warning system to alert of us potential dangers such as a gas leak, smoke or spoiled food," said Cyrano Therapeutics' founder Dr. Robert Henkin. "Our goal is to provide patients with an effective daily therapy with a low risk of side effects that restores smell and taste. The loss of these senses reduces the quality of life and can contribute to behavioral health challenges."
In a pilot study, the nasal spray demonstrated a significant response rate and has the potential to offer providers, including otolaryngologists, allergists and neurologists a long-term, effective solution for patients. Cyrano Therapy will also provide these physicians with a proprietary diagnostic kit to diagnose and quantify the severity of a patient's loss of smell and taste.
As Inova continues to advance its portfolio of precision medicine capabilities, Cyrano Therapeutic's nasal spray solution may help to improve the lives of patients experiencing smell and taste loss, especially the more than two-thirds of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy that report changes in sensory perception.
"The sense of smell and taste are integral to our quality of life. This nasal spray will provide physicians with an effective tool to improve patients' quality of life without causing significant limitations for patients," said IPHA Director, Mike Thomas.
The spray is readily formulated and well-tolerated for nasal delivery. It is administered daily in a low-dose directly to the patient's nasal mucosa and olfactory receptors. It can also be used with commercially available nasal pump dispensers. It was found to have no systemic side effects, and there was no detection of theophylline in the bloodstream in the patients tested to date.
About Cyrano Therapeutics
Cyrano Therapeutics is an early stage company developing and commercializing a unique, proprietary intranasal product to restore function in patients with a chronic loss of smell and an associated diminished sense of taste. This is a condition affecting at least 14 million people in the US and a similar number in Europe, having a significant impact on quality of life and well-being.

Tune in weekly while we explore frequently asked cannabis questions!
Now is the time of transition. There is a good deal of unknown around legalization and what it means for businesses, such as us at FARM, and for our members, such as yourselves! This What's Your Normal blog campaign continues to evolve so that we can provide the most relevant information that we have access to.
FARM's has always focused on compliance. Up until recently, the only regulations we were offered to base our business decisions off of was the MMRU program Vancouver pioneered (more of a background on this can be found in our previous blog post New User's Guide). Moving forward, with a whole plethora of new regulations, including the application process for non-medical cannabis retailers, we want to ensure that our business operations (both in relation to cannabis compliance and standard HR compliance) are fully in line with government standards. We believe that it is important to work with what we've been given and abide by all regulations as they continue to evolve and become known. This industry has come so far and it may not be perfect, but it's progress!
This blog entry is titled Shopping Tips Part I. It will be the first of a two-part series outlining (1) tips for consumers at this current time of transition and (2) tips for consumers after October 17, 2018 when cannabis is made legal across Canada and new regulations fully come into effect. For those of us who've been purchasing in Vancouver's boisterous cannabis culture, this will surely be quite the change!
Sales, sales, sales!
If you're an avid cannabis purchaser, whether with us at FARM or at another local dispensary, you may notice an increase in sales. Wondering why? Well, one of the biggest changes during this transition towards legalization is a brand new supply chain.
Currently, products come from a range of distributors whose details retail storefronts are pretty private about. Moving forward, all provincially-licensed non-medical cannabis retailers will purchase products through the BC Liquor Distribution Board (BC LDB). The BC LDB will purchase all of its stock from various licensed producers, regulated at a federal level by Health Canada. For more information on the LDB and new supply chain check out the following link http://www.bcldb.com/cannabis. For those of us who are compliance-focused, we are winding down our current range in products in order to make space for products that will be allowed within the new regulations as of October 17th.
Everything must go! Fire sales are the way FARM is preparing to move out all current products for the new supply chain, but it's also a point of entry to engage with our members about why we're having these sales and to discuss how legalization may affect them. Come by our shop to check out our sales, talk to our service staff or stay tuned by following us on instagram @visit.farm.
Coming changes to how you purchase
Alongside changes in our product supply chain, there will be other regulatory changes that influence how consumers purchase their cannabis in BC. Some of these include:
- No children on premises even with adult accompaniment.
- A primary and secondary form of ID is required for proof of age (19+) similar to liquor regulations.
- The government will provide us with information to inform customers of the risks of cannabis use that will appear around the shop ("Social Responsibility Materials").
- Intoxicated patrons (by cannabis, liquor or another substance) will not be allowed to enter or remain on the premises and it is the retailer's responsibility to enforce this should they wish to remain in good standing with their license.
- Samples are not allowed to be given to employees or customers.
- Customers will only be able to purchase and carry 30g at any time.
- Edibles and concentrates (such as shatter or budder) will be unavailable for up to 12 months after legalization.
- There are new legal implications and a budget for enforcement coming into effect October 17th for those who choose to sell, buy or use cannabis products outside of the new regulations.
- Regulations continue to unfold regarding how retail employees will be allowed to engage with customers when it comes to providing information regarding products
- There is a regulatory divide between "medical" and "non-medical" cannabis which will influence the type of language and recommendations that cannabis service staff will be able to offer customers
- This could be a bit awkward as we come to terms with regulatory limitations, but know that FARM is actively monitoring training options for our team to best meet customer needs!
Interview with a Budtender (ZOE)
At this time of significant transition, we are providing our leadership team and our budtenders with access to information so that they can help our members navigate the process that is legalization. But not everyone's questions are the same and sometimes knowing the right questions to ask can be really beneficial in finding an understanding of how your own unique cannabis practice may be impacted.
Though we wish we could field all questions we're asked, some don't have a concise response yet. Some questions without clear answers as of the publishing of this blog are:
- How many strains will you have available after legalization October 17?
- What will the price range look like / what will the average price per gram be?
- When will you have concentrates or edibles in stock?
- Where else can I go if I don't meet your requirements for ID, cost of cannabis, etc?
Below we conducted an interview with one of our passionate budtenders, Zoe. Zoe has been with FARM for about a year and her compassion for our members and her engagement within the industry never ceases to impress us! We invited her to speak with us about her experiences with customers at this time- what are they asking? What are their concerns? How do we navigate so much unknown together, ensuring that our strong connections don't fragment at such an important time? Read on!
What's your favourite part about budtending?
"I really like being the point of contact for everyday people who are looking to develop their own best cannabis practice. Also, given the nature of our community there are those who use cannabis informally for harm reduction and nothing makes me happier in my job than hearing from someone that cannabis has saved their life from fentanyl."
What questions are members regularly asking you during this time of transition?
- "Will you still be open?"
- "Will concentrates still be available?"
- "How much is weed going to cost?"
- "What's the quality going to be like in comparison to what I have access to now?"
How do you find customers are receiving the information we're offering regarding the coming changes?
"People are really shocked. It is clear there is a lot of misinformation going around. They're surprised by how little we know at this point and there's only about a month left until legalization. People have shown signs of being upset, confused or even feeling blindsided. They want answers we can't offer yet."
What about legalization excites you?
"For me, my biggest excitement is that legalization will open doors for greater scientific research. Also, legalization may entice those who wouldn't have otherwise tried cannabis, especially those from an older generation who can benefit from developing their own cannabis practice with the fear of doing something illegal. I'm also excited to have more access to consistent information on terpene profiles!"
What about legalization concerns you the most?
"Accessibility! I'm worried for our community. For those who want to purchase less than a gram, or who use cannabis for harm reduction, for those who come in intoxicated because of their personal circumstances, or for parents without regular daycare who can't bring their children in with them. I'm worried about what the lowest gram price will be and that they're letting lower income individuals slip through the cracks. I'm also very concerned about C-46 and information I've heard about roadside testing and what constitutes impairment, but that's a whole other story."
What do customers seem most concerned about?
"Price and accessibility are top concerns. Quality is also up there because they lack trust in the quality of products that will be immediately available. And of course, concentrates."
What are your thoughts about the sales transaction and changes to language due to the medical and non-medical divide?
"Budtenders are going to have to get their point across in a groovy and above-board manner. Customers are going to have to get use to more vague answers to their questions if they're medically related. We'll all have to learn a new language to navigate these regulations. For example, maybe you cannot say "this is good for muscle relaxation" but you can say "this is good for after the gym". We might have to sacrifice clear recommendations to our customers in order to remain compliant. Information sharing and experiential information is what we rely on now- so it will be key for people to talk to their friends and build their communities until regulations make space for budtenders and consumers to freely share information as they please."
If you had the ability to decide, what vision would you have for legalization from a retail perspective?
"I would want to see accessible, high-quality bulk product (I'm talking as low as $4 per gram) as well as concentrates and edibles. I'd like to see a retail shop that could be more than just a place to express purchase your products but that could also include information sharing, workshops and resources. Maybe there could be cannabis consultants to help you customize your own practice in order to build relationships with community members beyond the basics of a transaction. More than a 'dispensary' but also a community space. On a side note, I'd like legalization to mean amnesty for anyone convicted of minor cannabis-related charges!"
What's one thing the public might not know about being a budtender that you wish to share?
"I LOVE answering your questions!! You are not an inconvenience, I am here to serve you. I love my job, come here, I will take you under my wing and I will find you what you need! You are not expected to know everything, talk to us, it's what we're here for! Also, THC percentages aren't everything, there are so many factors that influence how a strain affects you specifically including environmental context, mental states and body chemistry."
Farm is interested in educating the public on "the new normal"
What IS normal?
We want to find out and that includes YOU!
It's not often that we experience a cultural shift like the legalization of cannabis. Guiding the public to understand how this will affect them requires cannabis leaders to be ambassadors to "a new normal". For reference, think about all the bad etiquette that came with cell phones and social media. Now imagine legal and unregulated public cannabis consumption – yikes!
What can we do?
We can agree upon a shared Code of Conduct and produce a culture that is balanced across our Four Pillars of Wellness. This offers us as a team (as well as the public!) a foundation to reference for what legal, recreational cannabis could look like. On top of this, we can continue to develop our unique and special cannabis practises knowing that we are grounded in a shared set of values.

Hello Boyertown Soccer Club (BSC) Parents,
I hope everyone had a Great Holiday and a Happy New Year!
It's hard to believe that our Spring Registration has already begun and in a couple months the fields will be open with soccer activity.
2017 is going to be an exciting year for Boyertown Soccer Club. BSC will be moving forward with the construction of the Jacob "JK" Karnchanaphati Memorial Field. Jacob was a 12-year-old student of the Boyertown Area School District who passed away in 2015. He was an active member of the Boyertown Soccer Club and played for both travel and recreational teams. Jacob will forever be remembered for his love of soccer and nickname, "JK". Jacob's family wanted to create this Memorial Field to honor JK's love of the game and to provide a place for Boyertown Soccer Club players to share their love of the game as well.
As you can imagine a project like this is not easy to accomplish. The two key elements we need to complete this project are volunteers and financial support. JK's family has been extremely supportive in the construction of the field along with the Boyertown Soccer Club. Washington Township is leasing the land under the premise that the Club build and maintain the JK Memorial Field. We also have a fantastic group of individuals who have been working on getting field designs and engineering specs completed.
As you can see we are off to a great start, but we do need more help and support. I am asking for some volunteers to help us in our fundraising efforts. I would need about 5 to 6 dedicated individuals who would be willing to help generate fundraising ideas and help execute those ideas successfully. I do realize time is sometimes not a luxury we all have, but what I would be asking for would equate to a few hours a week of your time and would mostly be handled via email. We are actually looking at kicking off our fundraising campaign in late April with what I think will be an awesome evening.
The field will be constructed in Washington Township on Niantic Road across from Washington Township Park referred to as Victoria Field Complex by BSC. The Washington Township Board of Supervisors have been very supportive of our efforts to construct the JK Memorial Field. We plan on building the field with lights so our players will have a chance to play games into the evening hours. This is a field which will be utilized by our Travel, Recreational and Intramural Programs and will provide players with a great experience.
If you are interested and willing to help, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also, if you happen to be a business owner or work for a company in our community and you are interested in being a field sponsor, please let me know. We do have different levels of sponsorship available and we will be creating a sponsor wall as part of the JK Memorial Field. If you are interested in being a field sponsor, you can also send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please take some time and consider being part of something that will give back to our community for years to come. On behalf of JK's Family and the Boyertown Soccer Club, I want to thank you all for your consideration and support.

Director of Marketing/Fundraising/Sponsorship

Demand a thorough investigation into the disappearance of MORGAN ARYN BAUER by Atlanta PD!
0 have signed. Let's get to 2,500!
Morgan Aryn Bauer traveled to Atlanta, Georgia on February 12, 2016 from Aberdeen, South Dakota, via a flight from Minneapolis, MN, with limited finances and a big dream of life in a large city. While she was traveling and after she had arrived in Atlanta, she maintained contact with close friends and family and posted as usual to her social media accounts. After a falling out with the people she found in Craigslist in Atlanta, she stayed in a few different hotels and acquired a job as a dancer at a club in Gainesville. While she had minimal cash on her at the time of her arrival in Atlanta, she was expecting her tax return to be loaded onto an H&R Block Card in her name. Suddenly, all contact with or from her stopped. She was last heard from on February 25, 2016.
Since her disappearance, investigation done has shown that her phone was last used on February 25, 2016. Her phone location was last pinged to the town where a couple, last been seen and admitted to being with Morgan around the time of her disappearance, lived at the time. Morgan's last post on Facebook was a post about Club Tease, where she states, "And I work here!". It was later found that the woman she was last seen with had also auditioned with Morgan the day of her disappearance and Morgan had offered to buy her license, as required for exotic dancers by the city of Atlanta.
Investigations have also discovered that the same couple had alarming posts on Facebook directly correlating to the time Morgan disappeared. They are menacing, and in one, the female even posts a meme "Bob likes to kill, Bob kills for fun" tagging her boyfriend. Minimal investigation has been done into this couple and the land they lived on at the time of the disappearance. Since this time, the couple have separated and live in other and separate states. They have never been formally cleared as suspects. A limited search was done at their previous location where Morgan's phone was pinged to, but was confined to a small area it was only searched once. While it is possible she may not be there, it is possible that this couple may still have answers about what happened to Morgan, maybe even setting her up to be trafficked or worse.
Morgan's investigation has been handed from Detective to Detective, and at times no Detective was assigned to her case at all. Morgan's mother, Sherri Sichmeller, took it upon herself to travel from Aberdeen to Atlanta and searched at length for her daughter. She hired her own Personal Investigator, who only hindered and deteriorated her search and used up valuable resources. She had a billboard put up. She handed out thousands of fliers. She has worked diligently asking any news outlet and missing persons organization she can to help her find Morgan. It is time that the proper investigation is launched.
The speculations and rumors that arose not only due to the Private Investigator but internet trolls as well, have severely damaged this investigation into Morgan's disappearance and the credibility of her story. While it is known and accepted that she wanted to move somewhere and start a new chapter in her life, it is beyond any kind of reason that she would not have reached out to someone by now. Almost 2 years have passed since anyone has seen or heard from Morgan. What 19/21 year old isn't going to call their best childhood friends, parents, siblings, or family whom they had regular contact with previously and leading up to out of nowhere? What TEENAGE GIRL from a town of a little more than 25,000 people in South Dakota with minimal money and resources, isn't going to more than likely need financial help at some point after two years time living in Atlanta?
Morgan has never been seen or heard from since. No solid or confirmed sightings have been reported. No remains of Morgan or her belongings have been found. Her cell phone has never been found, ping located, or turned on since. We cannot verify if her tax return was ever used. Her Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and other social media accounts all stop activity on or before February 25, 2016. She has never applied for a job in her name or done any kind of official documentation since she disappeared. She has never called a single family member or friend to wish a Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, or any other greeting. She has literally disappeared, without a trace it seems.
Information about Morgan can be found on NamUs, NCMEC, The Atlanta Police Department, Missing Morgan Facebook page, The Vanished Podcast Episode 98, CharleyProject.org, LostnMissing.org, Missingin.org, GFastAir.com, MissingAdultsKids.com, as well as several others. She has also been featured on several news stories, but most all of the stories are from almost two years ago when she first disappeared.
We, the People, are demanding a proper and thorough investigation into the disappearance of Morgan Aryn Bauer. We demand the couple who were last seen with Morgan be thoroughly investigated, as well as the property they were living at around the time of her disappearance and the surrounding area. We demand that investigators uncover the truth to what happened to her. We demand that it is determined if her remains are on the property or surrounding area. We demand that an active investigation into if she was possibly trafficked is completed. We demand that this does not remain a Cold Case. If the Atlanta Police Department and other involved Law Enforcement Agencies are satisfied with their investigation, then we demand they hand the case over to other authorities, including local law-enforcement, GBI, FBI and any other investigators willing to offer help and who will do their due diligence and find out the truth.
We demand answers in the name of Morgan Aryn Bauer.

Q: What are the keys for?
A: When you 3-star a dungeon (except XP, Gold island), you can use the key bypassing all the dungeon keepers and get the loot directly without playing that level. Stamina required, and you still get player xp.
5. Q: Inside the PvP, I won a battle, but then my last hero died due to the burn debuff health deduction, then I lost? Why?
A: The rule might be ambiguous and different from PvE where all your debuff are cleansed after winning, we understand, but it is the fact. Well, you can't open the box if all your heroes lay down, unless you are Grandet, who even managed to thwart death a little because of a pile of gold coins.
It happened to me too, frustrating at first, but with proper strategy, this won't happen again.
6. Q: I pulled x10 Heroic Summon, I got no new heroes. Why?
A: They say "Gurantee 1 hero", not 1NEW hero, here is the catch. If you unlock an unlocked hero, you will get a bunch of tokens, example: 35 tokens for IGOROK if you already have him. This amount of tokens compare to the chests. IMO, better quality than quantity. Focus on your own hero first unless you really need some particular heroes to achieve your goal.
12. Q: I know how keys work, but even if I 3 stared.
13. Q: I can't enter the Evo Island, XP Island, Gold Island. Why?
A: You may need to reach Level 15, 20, 25 respectively to enter these islands.
People keep saying spooky town. Should I be seeing halloween something on the....whatever that screen is called? Because I don't.
@Maestro556313. Q: I can't enter the Evo Island, XP Island, Gold Island. Why?
A: You may need to reach Level 15, 20, 25 respectively to enter these islands.
"Evo Island" was supposed to be available this past Friday 16th? But wasn't. Now it's Monday 19th 12:31am and is still not available. Maybe time zone?
What do you mean by level 15, 20, 25 because I am passed player level 15, 20, 25 which @joveth states, "player level 15" required.
What about Spooky Town? Do the heroes get to do virtual trick or treating?
What does (tm) mean? Trick me?
Oh, the joy you must have felt to make this post... So many Lupina fibbers. They all broke my **** heart.

Last night, the Guate crew had the pleasure of joining Lencho's family for dinner at his home. His sister, niece, nephews, cats, and dogs hosted us for a delicious meal, complete with salsas, tamarind drinks, and (need we say it?) tortillas. The family embodied the same energy and warmth that we all love Lencho for. To use his favorite word for describing something completely spectacular, the evening was "Cali-max."
Today we met the becadas (Guatemalan girls our age) and weavers, who we will be working with in coordination with MayaWorks. We enjoyed a day touring Comalapa with the girls, learning about historical murals painted by members of the town, playing lively icebreakers, and having lunch in the home of one of the weavers.
In traditional Comalapa fashion, we ate our food "sobre las piernas" (on our laps) and sat in a room whose floor was covered in pine needles. Perhaps rivaling our favorite tortilla were the "tamalitos," mini tamales.
After lunch, a few of us were treated to a ride in a tuc-tuc, which is the Guatemalan version of a little taxi that can be seen zipping all about the town! Then we drove and tasted some Guatemalan ice cream—yum yum!
A night hike to a vista point with a campfire awaited us at our hotel. Torches lit, and S'mores in hand (the American tradition has followed us here), we discussed our highlights of the day.
Over all, one of the most prominent observations is this: Spanglish has become our default language. We sway frequently between Spanish and English in conversation. Some examples:
"We need to duchar" (We need to shower)
"Where are my pantalones?" (Where are my pants?)
"Yo necesito el bathroom." (I need to use the bathroom)
"Quiero sleep" (I need sleep)
"Hay un bug." (There is a bug)
"Pero that was true." (But that was true)
"Oh! Oh! Hola!"
Tomorrow, we will spend more time with the becadas and weavers and learn to tortillar—a verb, which we learned today, does exist in Spanish.
Your Guatemala bloggers,
-Laurel, Leena, Kiana, and Lea

The fraudsters, identified as Shreedhar Takmode, a farmer from Lakhni tehsil in Bhandara district, and builder Tulshiram Barapatre, resident of Somalwada, prepared duplicate land registry records to procure half crore loan from three banks; Vidarbha Kokan Gramin Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, and Punjab & Sind Bank, all located in the city.
Cops said Takmode, who wanted to buy the land, had prepared duplicate agreement papers and procured a loan Rs15.75 lakh from Vidarbha Kokan Gramin bank. Later, he prepared false registry papers of the land and mortgaged it to Indian Overseas Bank, which sanctioned him loan of Rs16.80 lakh.
Takmode later sold the mortgaged land to his aide Barapatre and the registry papers were produced before Punjab & Sindh Bank, which approved a loan of Rs19 lakh. Takmode deposited a substantial amount in Barapatre's account, added the cops. Santosh Deshpande, manager in Vidarbha Kokan Gramin Bank, approached the cops and lodged the complaint.
However, the reason for procuring loans from different banks is yet to be ascertained. Cops said the latter two banks have already produced the original registry papers. Cops would also investigate, apart from these three banks, whether any other bank was cheated.

I find my biggest inspiration in all things. I enjoy going out to nature to relax and re-center, which allows me to use my creative outlet. Likewise, I find inspiration in the busy day-to-day things that keep me pushing harder to achieve greater things. I am inspired greatly by my contemporary artists and my big family of artists friends. I love surrounding myself (my studio) with art that I have bought traded or was gifted.
What's your favorite way to drink coffee?
I enjoy drinking coffee Turkish style, just boiling it with water. The Italian-style moka pot is becoming a big favorite of mine as well. When I am out, I usually opt for a cappuccino.
What's your go-to Austin hotspot?
Austin has so many amazing spots both for recreation and business. I enjoy running the Lady Bird Johnson trail to the park or to Barton Springs where I'll take half a day to chill out and exercise. When it comes to food, Clark's Oyster Bar is dear to my heart because they have some of the best oysters I have tried ever and I like the small, yet busy atmosphere.
What does being a Maker mean to you?
It means simply applying the act of creation to your life. I think creating or making something, especially out of nothing or out of old objects, is such a freeing and basic human nature process that it only heals and creates good energy out of whatever you're doing. Even if you think you're not good at it, the sheer act of creating is already more than you started off with. Creating things is our natural instinct, and I believe by making something, we can then progress in life.
Lady Non-Stop is an Austin, TX based artist. To learn more about our Maker series, check out The Makery here.
Maker Series: At Chameleon, we believe that coffee is an essential part of fueling creativity. Mugshot Monday is a series devoted to featuring Makers: the people who put pen to paper (or knife to cutting board, hammer to wood… you get the gist) to create, inspire, and make things happen. Our Maker series aims to showcase the talent of the everyday people who do just that!

Pediatric Endocrinology
Pediatric Endocrine Group
Novel technology may allow endocrinologists to more
accurately measure adherence among patients who take recombinant human growth
Presented in a poster at the Canadian Pediatric
Endocrine Group 2012 Scientific Meeting, the international study will evaluate
the efficacy of somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection in children with GH
deficiency and other approved indications (ie, a variety of growth disorders).
The study is sponsored by EMD Serono Inc.
The technology, Easypod, is an automated drug-delivery
device for
recombinant human GH (rhGH) and is indicated for the
treatment of children with growth failure due to inadequate secretion of
endogenous GH. The device will not only deliver an injection of GH, but will
also collect injection data, so that study investigators can keep tabs on
adherence to therapy.
"Historically, methods of reporting compliance have
been faulty," said John VanderMeulen MD, PhD, FRCPC, the Canadian
investigator for the Easypod Connect Observational Study (ECOS), in an
interview with Endocrine Today. "This device enhances the quality
of information in terms of compliance."
The 5-year study involves numerous Canadian centers, as
well as other sites that include United Kingdom, Australia and Korea.
Enrollment is ongoing, and as many as 1,500 patients globally are expected to
Not all patients are responders to GH therapy, even if
they are compliant, and the use of the device will help identify these
potential nonresponders. Conversely, experts may get a better sense of what a
full response looks like in a responder who is fully compliant, VanderMeulen,
who is head in the division of pediatric endocrinology at McMaster
Children's Hospital, and professor of pediatrics at McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, told Endocrine Today.
"After a year of treatment and full compliance, why
continue to inject children who are not achieving a beneficial outcome, and why
incur the cost?" VanderMeulen said. "We know then that it's more
likely to be a biological limitation in terms of their lack of response. We
would discontinue the therapy (if there is no response)."
According to VanderMeulen, however, there may be
numerous variables that influence adherence.
"There may be a variety of factors that might
affect compliance such as patient age, family structure or socioeconomic
status," he said. "If compliance is an issue, then you want to drill
down and figure out if there are consistent themes that emerge in terms of
people not complying. If we understand the variables that contribute to
noncompliance, the question is how we can enhance compliance."
Patients in the study may have conditions other than GH
deficiency such as Turner's syndrome, chronic renal failure or small for
gestational age. "They also can respond to growth hormone therapy,"
VanderMeulen said.
The researchers aim to present the umbrella protocol
concept in June at Endo 2012 in Houston.

"Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit, der Gemütlichkeit "
"Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit, der Gemütlichkeit "
Bob and I moved to Lagos, Nigeria in April 2007. This blog basically covers what we do in our time outside of work and is meant to keep family and friends updated on our activites and travels. We are having a great time and I think we are making the most of living in Nigeria. DISCLAIMER: This blog is not meant to be a comprehensive summary of all Nigeria has to offer. I may have different interests than you and therefore may not post on topics or places that you might like to see.
Hi I know that your blog is for friends and family to keep updated on your life and adventures but I hope you don't mind me also following :). My boyfriend has been offered a job in Lagos (starting July 2010) and so we are still in the process of deciding whether it will be a good move. Were both young and eager for the adventure as I will have graduated by then aswell. Been trying to research a lot but honestly everything I've come across so far seems very scary and is putting me off going. We'd be in a compound so, aswell as being worried about crime and violence etc (which I keep hearing scarily!), I am also a little concerned about what there might be to do! Your blog has been really nice to see as it paints a very different picture from the constant negative I've been finding. Any advice or info about what these compounds are like would be great! otherwise just keep up the good blogging :)
The compounds are secure, with barb wire and 24 hour security. I live in an apartment complex, not a compound. I have never felt unsafe and I feel I have put myself in more "extreme" postions than most expats. We travel all over Nigeria but do have an armed guard with us (required by the company).
OK... maybe there was one time when there were men shouting and waving guns as I was walking in the dark to catch a boat... something I should not be doing anyway (walking at night)!

There would be no chance to drive the cars or sample the product itself: even by Italian standards, this must be a world first - a product launch that doesn't allow journalists to report on the product. But who cares when you have a four-time world champion and a Delta S4?
The video tells the story of the day, but there was so much anecdote and information about the product that didn't make the edit.
As someone who spent months looking for a decent tyre to run on 8in and 9in Fuchs a few years back, the P7 Classic would have been the answer to all my prayers. The soft compound D5 is really a qualifier, with all the cars munching through them very quickly on the abrasive Tarmac of San Remo, the harder D3 wasn't available on the day. I know, don't say it.
Of the dozens of frankly cool things he did over those 30 hours we spent with him, undoubtedly the coolest was walking past the Group A Delta and being offered the keys. "No thank you, I never liked it very much." A few seconds later he was snuggled down in the Stratos again.
These boys really did see it all. The last time he drove a Delta S4 on a World Championship event, he said it had a genuine 620hp. At the end of '86, with Group B banned, he was testing the baby-Delta with 220hp. "It was nothing." His words, not mine.
They were great times, but they couldn't continue.
I've watched the final edit a few times now and I find these cars - these drivers - utterly compelling. I feel privileged to now have a video memento of what will always be one of the best days of my working life. And I didn't even drive a car.

I have officially finished work at the Vintage Shed to rest up before baby, but before I put my feet up I took the opportunity of no kids at home today to go down and have a little tidy and re- vamp of myself and Bec's ( former partner in crime) shared space...
We still have some great Brimfield stock left and then each of us has our own collections, so the space is still jam packed with some great things...
It was a long day and I don't think my husband will ever dare step into the Vintage Shed again for fear of being asked to move large pieces of furniture 5 times!
You can only imagine my excitement when I got home exhausted and the boys reminded that we had tickets booked for Madagascar 3 ..Although if you have to sit through a kids movie this one is pretty good - what I saw of it anyway, I took a power nap, I just can't seem to stay awake in the Cinema anymore !
School holidays for us, time for some r & r with my two little men before we become a family of 5..
Have a great weekend

Barasat: An eight-month-old baby gasped to death in her mother's lap in Barasat district hospital on Wednesday as one ambulance driver after another demanded money from the father for what is supposed to be a free service under the National Health Mission.
The infant's death exposes all that ails Bengal's healthcare system, where crib deaths are shockingly frequent and instances of nurses snipping off newborn's thumbs or inserting an IV needle in a baby's muscle are not uncommon. Before the ambulance drivers tried to fleece them, the parents had a horrific time just getting someone to take a look at the sinking baby. They say a nurse gave them an oxygen cylinder and walked off, asking them to put it on the baby themselves. When they said they did not know how to do it, a group D staffer took pity and strapped the oxygen mask on the baby. In Bengal's government hospitals, group D staffers also double up as informal nursing assistants.
According to parents, the baby was suffering from cold and cough for the past few days. She was being treated by a doctor in their locality in Amdanga's Dariapur, but her condition kept deteriorating. She developed respiratory complications and her parents took her to Barasat district hospital on Wednesday. "My daughter needed oxygen, but a nurse in the ward told us to fix the mask on her. How could we be expected to know how to do it? After pleading for several minutes, a group D employee put her on oxygen," said the baby's father, M Dadul Hasan.

Visual Studio 2008 provides new features for .NET Framework debugging.
To configure VS 2008 to debug .NET Framework:
Start Visual Studio 2008 and bring up Tools > Options > Debugging.
Set the following two settings:
Under the Debugging category, click Symbols.
Set the symbol file location to be: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols
specify the cache location > check the "Search the above locations only when symbols are loaded manually" option. Enable the "Search the above locations only when symbols are loaded manually" option.
That's all, you are ready!
Now all you have to do is start debugging. set a breakpoint somewhere in the code and step into. if it's .NET code, go to the call stack, In the Call Stack window, right-click a frame for which symbols are not loaded. The frame will be dimmed out.
Point to Load Symbols From and click Microsoft Symbol Servers or Symbol Path.
That's all.

New tool was released on CodePlex called TFS Check-in Validation Tool.
This tool provides the ability to have a checkin validating by a build prior to being checked in. This is similar to a feature in TFS 2010 called Gated Checkin, which is integrated into VS and TFS (more info in this video). With both of these the goal is to prevent build breaks from being checked in by validating them beforehand.
If you really like it and are interested in doing something similar with TFS 2008 (before TFS 2010) comes out, you can check out this new project on CodePlex: http://www.codeplex.com/BuddyBuild.
It is not a part of TFS and the implementation is unrelated to the TFS 2010 Gated checkin feature.

For a preview of the next TFS Power Tools release, please read Brian Harry's blog.
The next version is really amazing!
From Brian's post:
There are 3 major new components to the October Power Tools release and the usual incremental improvements.
- Team Members – We've added a new node to the Team Explorer called "Team Members". It appears under each Team Project and is used to identify who are the people who work on the project. It serves as a "pivot point" for information about and operations on people and teams.
- Windows Shell Extension – We've built a Windows shell extension that allows you to do the core version control operations directly inside the Windows Explorer without using the Team Explorer.
- PowerShell Support – We've started working on a PowerShell pipeline and commandlets for TFS. Our initial set support basic version control operations but over time we plan to add work item tracking, administration, build and more.
This is one of the best Power Tools releases so far.
Read Brian's post for full details.
