Obama should call on the public to create a hailstorm of calls to Congress, demanding it support a new climate bill.Communications found that 70 percent of Americans now accept that climate change is real; 54 percent acknowledge it is caused mostly by human activities; 74 percent believe it is influencing our weather; 57 percent say it is a growing threat to people in the United States; and 58 percent say they're worried about it. The Yale polls were confirmed by similar results in October from the Pew Research Center, among others. And these polls were conducted before Hurricane Sandy, which almost certainly would have increased all of these numbers.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'in full bloom' tag.
I started this garden many years ago in an attempt to beautify a spot once overrun with old shrubs and weedy growth. Mainly unattended for a few decades this area was in need of a complete makeover. It started out as a potager with high hopes of growing wonderful things, but was too dimly lit for such expectations, now it is pure flowers and a place of wonder.
I once heard that a garden takes twelve years to feel like it has become. Plants grow, they die and with many changes that has gone on here that is probably true. After eight years transforming this area the garden is starting to show its maturity.
One thing that has eluded me in the art of the perennial garden is the sense of architectural design. Not so much the use of structures but the architecture of herbaceous plants that add texture and depth of character to a garden. If you view the garden in terms of black and white you will see how this design concept makes sense. Take photos of your garden and put them into black and white. When you take out the color distractions you will see the bones of the garden.
A whole world of plant possibilities and combinations are better understood this way. Hostas and astilbes are a great example, each with their own unique forms and foliage textures. With digitalis blooming in the mix a black and white photo would look stunning. Flowers are important as they are beautiful, but the foliage of herbaceous perennials and shrubs are the workhorses of a garden.
The end of May is when the garden shows off the glories of spring. Blooming abundantly are the alliums and tree peonies. Such an explosion of bloom, the garden is transformed literally overnight and for a short week the blooms will have vanished as fast as they have appeared.
Here are the views of the garden at this time of year. Some of the shots were taken at dusk when the colors of the garden are richer and a bit mysterious.
In anticipation of bloom, allium 'purple sensation.'
Horticultural ufos.
The Korean Lilacs are about ready to join in.
Golden Bleeding Hearts
Tree peony blooms. A color choice that was unexpected, but still beautiful.
Tree peony in full bloom.
Vines quickly overtaking the stonework with amazing vigor.
This garden was designed to have two large flower shows, one in the spring and later in the fall. Ever see gardens so full of flower power that it really is a wondrous sight, and then spends the rest of the summer devoid of excitement? It does take a large garden to have masses of blooms going off like clockwork for the entire season, annuals help, but I prefer perennials because next year the garden will be filled with even more flowers. Decide on the times you are most likely to enjoy your garden and plan accordingly. I like to be out in the garden in the spring and in the fall, just as the garden is flourishing.

KNBR's Gary Radnich and Larry Krueger in conversation with 49ers wide receiver Joshua Morgan.
Q: We heard a little bit of (coach Jim) Harbaugh after the game. As a player, does all that yelling and stuff inspire you?
A: (laughs) Yeah, as a team we definitely have taken on his personality, just embracing everything that he has to offer us. I think it shows tremendously out there.
Q: I know you don't want to say bad things about (Mike) Singletary, but I'm curious: Did he give similar speeches to Harbaugh?
A: He probably did – Singletary was a great speaker. I think the thing with Singletary was that he gave his speeches too soon. He was just one of those guys that whatever was in his heart, he just had to spit it out right now, he couldn't just save it. So he would have a great speech for us, but he'd give it to us on a Tuesday, on our day off.
Q: So in the best sense of the word, Harbaugh is a little more conniving?
A: Yeah, most definitely. He saves his best speeches for right before the game.
Q: Coming into the Eagles game, I'm sure you saw the press clippings – the Eagles have (Dominique Rogers-)Cromartie and Asante Samuel and Nnamdi (Asomugha). … Tell me how you guys beat the Eagles' trio of big-time cornerbacks.
A: Just using great technique. Basically, the line just protected for us, allowed us to try to get open and allowed Alex to get back there and read the defense. We know if we put everything together, we can get open versus anybody – we can make big plays all across the board. (Receivers) coach Johnny Morton is doing a great job with our technique and everything, and we just need to really put it together. This was a great overall job by the offensive line and Alex Smith to allow myself, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis to do what we did to that secondary.
Q: Everyone is speculating, but you probably know: What's the difference between Alex Smith from last year as opposed to this year?
A: It's not a big difference at all. It's a different offense, which helps because this offense allows him to get the ball out of his hands since he has a lot of progression reads and he's not back there overthinking and trying to make plays – he can just get the ball out of his hands. If you're open you're open, if you're not it's a check-down; it's those type of reads. I think this offense is more like his offense at Utah.
Q: Is he more confident in the huddle, though – are his eyes different?
A: No, he's always the same. I would say he's more comfortable. He's always had the confidence, but with this offense being more like the offense where he had all that success at Utah coming out of college, I think he's a lot more comfortable in this offense. He just goes through the reads like it's nothing now. He just makes all the right reads, he's not turning the ball over, he's taking care of the ball, he's not throwing picks or anything.
Q: It was great to see the Philly fans shut up – they're such a loud, vocal group of fans. Is there anything you can share that you heard yelled from any of the fans in Philly? I'm sure they were shocked.
A: I'll be honest with you – I'm from Washington, D.C., so I've been to a lot of Philly games. And that was most definitely a tale of two halves, but they went from literally talking about everybody on our team, talking about our mothers, saying all the most hateful and hurtful stuff they could say – and then that second half they ended up rooting for us. You ended up hearing Niners chants. It was crazy, it felt like a home game in the second half.

Toshiba Corp. and Western Digital Corp. have announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to transfer Toshiba's 2.5" hard disk drive production facilities in Thailand to Western Digital in exchange to some of WD's 3.5" hard drive manufacturing assets in the country.
The asset package covered by the agreement will enable Toshiba to manufacture and sell 3.5" hard drives for the desktop and consumer electronics markets and will enhance its ability to manufacture and sell 3.5" hard drives for near-line (business critical) applications. The divestiture transaction is subject to review by regulatory agencies in certain jurisdictions. Toshiba will transfer the shares of Toshiba Storage Device Thailand (TSDT) to Western Digital and consolidate HDD production at its two HDD manufacturing facilities in the Philippines and a contract manufacturer in China.
Acquisition of TSDT will boost Western Digital's positions on the market of 2.5" hard disk drives and will also allow it to comply to a European Commission requirement to get rid of certain part of its 3.5" HDD manufacturing capacities before acquiring Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST). WD plans to integrate TSDT facilities and employees into its Thailand operations.
Toshiba's acquisition of assets from Western Digital and the transfer of TSDT to Western Digital are subject to Western Digital's completion of its pending acquisition of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and regulatory approvals from the relevant antitrust authorities.
The financial terms of the two agreements were not disclosed.

People Rise Up(Cette page n'est pas encore disponible en français)
In 2010 and 2011, people across the Arab world rose up against oppression and deprivation. But after the celebration of hard-earned victories, many countries will continue to face systemic challenges due to food insecurity, demographic trends, and water scarcity. Securing the future will depend on changes in the coming years to national policy that include responses to resource limits as a central component.
Access to food and other basic commodities is a highly sensitive topic in many countries. In low-income countries, a sharp rise in commodity prices or a disruption in supply can often lead to severe economic hardship and even malnutrition for significant portions of their populations as poorer households use a large part of their budgets for food and energy.
As a result, a resource crunch that threatens food security and access to other essential resources can translate into severe social and political instability. High food prices and fears about food security in 2008, for example, caused riots in 33 countries in Asia and Africa.
The popular uprisings seen across a large swathe of the Arab world in late 2010 and the spring of 2011 had many contributing factors. Mainly, these were protests against abuses of human and political rights by repressive governments. Many observers have, however, underlined the important role that rising food prices and other resource scarcities played in stoking popular anger.
Many of these uprisings toppled long-established autocrats. Whether this will give greater political freedom is still unsettled. What is clear, however, is that these populations will remain at risk from severe resource deficits both in their region and globally. Only by taking an aggressive stance toward aligning resource use with what the planet is able to renew can these threats to future well-being be mitigated.Further information:

Here's how RW members rated this race (156 votes).
In short: Overall excellent, especially the marshallsIn full: My first proper race ever. Magnificent weather, scenery and organisation. Tough hills and lovely rolling countryside in the main. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: The Best !In full: A truely excellent run. The course has everything, tiny bit of road, loads of trail, track, grass. Hills are steep & tough but never too long. Scenery is nice enough to (almost) take your mind the climbs. The twice I've done it, its not rained in the previous week, but I would imagine a bit of rain would make the whole thing very interesting. Big thanks to the very excellent marshalling, this is one very friendly event with a superb atmosphere from beginning to end. See you next year.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Good race - Enjoyed by allIn full: I'd say this was a good multi terrain rather than a good XC race, but I'm sure with rain in the last week it would be all together different race. Car park was full when we arrived so had to fend for ourselves. Was disappointed with no medal or goody bag at the end but the coaster will at least get used. Shame pub opposite the race end wouldnt allow kids in, which has nothing at all to do with the race organization. Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Great Scenic Race, with plenty of variationDate of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Where was the mud?In full: The was a well organised race on an excellent course. Fairly challenging in places [a couple of the hills were tough], with some easier road / trail sections thrown in. This race would be an absolute scream in the wet as certain sections would have become 'rather hazardous' to say the least.Really enjoyed this though - good atmosphere & well worth turning up for. Nice finishing memento but something 'else' would have been nice.Definitely do it again though, pray for rain next year ;-)Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Top raceIn full: A nice event with great scenery. The marshalls did a good job under difficult circumstances as I think the course prevented them from being able to see all the runners coming. My only gripe is that they could have done better on the changing / toilet facilities. I'll do it again though.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Hills, sand, trails and a bit of mud!In full: Once out of the town the course really opens up with some nice scenery and steady ups and downs (some more steady than others!). Lovely running beside the lake. A good event that's worth the trip. Minor negatives: more pre-race info re where to park would have been a plus as would have some form of supervised bag storeage. Well marshalled and routemarked throughout. Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Great fun - well organised with a good field and plenty of scenic trails - well worth it - thats my third time Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: A great race in th countryside, but a tough one too. don't expect a PB here. Just when you think the hills are steep enough, they put 6" of mud there for you too. Def up fo the stumble in june.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: good courseDate of review: June 21, 2006

I was laid off from work about 3wk ago, so I'm now at home. The good news is, I get to spend A LOT of time with my son (19m) that I didn't get to when I was WOHM. The bad news is, I am now becoming a human pacifier, exponentially more than when I was working. [When I was working, I was pumping 2x a day at this point. We would nurse once or twice before bed, and night nurse as well.] DS is constantly poking my breasts saying "ummy num ummy num" and alternating between breasts for constant nursing. I seriously feel like I should either walk around the house topless or strap up the girls and make them off-limits The constant need for him to nurse is starting to wear me down as well as my husband, as now DS is more interested in me. Anyone transition from WOHM to SAHM and experience this, too? Anyone have any advice? Remind me that this too, shall pass?
No announcement yet.
Continuous nursing?!
new posts
Yes! I've experienced the same thing. If I'm not home, my 20-month-old daughter is fine eating or drinking water. But when I'm home, especially if I am trying to do something and not paying attention to her, she wants to nurse a lot. She always does the side-to-side thing, which I think is her version of "switch nursing," which is apparently a technique lactation consultants use to increase milk supply.
The only thing that I've found to decrease nursing frequency is to be doing other things with her, which isn't always an option.
When my ds was about that age (or maybe he was closer to two, I can't quite remember) he wanted to nurse about every 15 min when we were at home. FYI I'm a SAHM. For him I think it was mostly because he was bored. It was just too much for me and I started to get pretty resentful. As a result, I decided to reduce how often I would nurse him. I gave him lots of warning and explained to him that we were only going to nurse at certain times. (Nap time, bedtime, in the night and when we wake up.) He took it really well, only got upset once. I felt MUCH better about our nursing relationship after having done this. I think it was so successful because he didn't really "need" to nurse that much. ie. I was being used as a way to pass time not to fulfill any psychological needs.
Good luck with your little guy. I'm sure the two of you will find a solution that works for both of you.

i'm a SAHM, too, but have had the same experience. w/ds1, i relegated nursing to the rocker and that was it. if he wanted to nurse, we'd go into the bedroom, rock and nurse. it didn't take long, that way, every time i sat down, he didn't think it was time to nurse. eventually, it went away.
OK, I feel a little better knowing it's not just us! I did try to "limit" his nursing this morning until closer to lunch once we were out of bed (like I said, we night nurse, and he really likes his ummy nums as breakfast in bed, too!) I told him the ummy nums were taking a rest and they would be ready at lunchtime. He gave me a funny look & still kept trying to poke at them and pull up my shirt, but I persisted. Once it was lunchtime, I sat down & called him over and let him nurse, and amazingly he nursed continuously for a bit before deciding he was finished & went to play with Daddy (or at least try to make a beeline for Daddy's !)
I'm going to keep at it to see how it works out. Please keep the suggestions coming, though!

oh yes it will pass! your ds might just be making up for lost time. or maybe he's going through a phase. is he teething? just relax and try to enjoy it.
i also thought i would always be a human pacifier but now that my ds is 23 months old, he's so busy he only nurses for naps and bedtime sleep or when i'm too preoccupied with something and wants my attention.
so, yes, it will pass. you won't be nursing non-stop forever. hang in there!
If its of any help at all, just PLEASE know you're not alone! Our son just turned 2 yesterday, but all last week before his birthday, I kid you not... he asked to nurse literally every 30-45 minutes he was awake AND constantly all through the night. I decided it had to either be that his two year molars were coming in (even though I didn't see them) and/or that I was busy getting things prepped for his party and that was his only way of trying to get close to me. It gave me much needed rest to sit down, but he also napped VERY crummy that week too with waking up only after an hour but clearly needing to nurse back to sleep for at least another hour. It made me a little stressed, but I just tried to empathize with him (and we enjoy nursing anyhow... even though it was SUCH a marathon this last week). I also gave him Hyland's Teething Tablets (all natural, homeopathic), which gave him much needed relief. Anyhow, we survived through it, and you will too! Yesterday, he seem to not only have relief from his teething but also didn't demand to nurse as often as last week (back to his usual once per hour while he's awake and a couple of times during the night, and nursing to sleep for a nap and for bed). Oh- the "funny" thing about last week and all of that nursing though was that my armpits itched like CRAZY! My husband, who studied biomedical science, said that it was probably due to all of the circulation of blood to my milk ducts in that area. That was honestly the only aggravating part of last week was my armpits itching! And thankfully, my armpits no longer itch as of yesterday either! Praise the Lord! Hope that funny story helped! Like another poster said, it will pass.

I didn't even think about a growth spurt- Duh to me! Thanks! I forget about those now that he is older (I was so used to expecting them at little intervals when he was under 1).

Crow, Hawk & Falcon Testing
Mosquito Testing
Human Testing
To date, testing has shown that 14 individuals were not infected with WNV and results are pending for 17 others.
Human testing for WNV is being conducted at the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' Public Health and Environmental Laboratory in Trenton and at public health labs in other states. Testing results are sent to the CDC for confirmation.
Doctors of patients with symptoms that do not meet WNV testing criteria
have the option of sending samples of their patients' blood to private laboratories
for analysis using the St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) screening test. Since
SLE and WNV are closely related viruses, a WNV case will most likely react
to a SLE test. The department has not been notified of any positive SLE

The Liberty set of half eagles consists of the No Motto and Motto types. Every date is available, although numerous No Motto issues and the Motto issues from the 1860s and 1870s are very difficult to nearly impossible to obtain in Uncirculated condition. This makes a striking set, as it is gold of course, and collectors have coveted half eagles for generations. The legendary names from the past such as William Woodin, Waldo Newcomer, Col. E.H.R. Green, and others had impressive sets of half eagles. The finished set is quite an accomplishment and is a highlight of any collection.

My main question is, can I just put my chicago in the pan on pre-heated stone? Will it still cook okay and not burn?
Thanks! My pizza will be 14". I'll definitely pull it out a few minutes earlier and check it.I usually cook my normal pizzas at 550 so once the Chicago comes out, I'll be cranking the oven up.
And where in the world do you guys find "6 in 1" tomato sauce? I can't find it anywhere!

David Akers (1975/88): The 1914 is an underrated issue, nearly as much so as the 1909. In the low Mint State grades, i.e. MS-60 to 62, it is not difficult to find, but in MS-63 and MS-64, there are a whole lot fewer around than one might think. True gems are very rare and I am sure that only a very few exist that are better than MS-65. In all respects, this is a much more difficult issue to find than the 1910, 1912, 1913, or 1915, although it is not as rare as the 1909.
The 1914 is typically very sharply struck, and the surfaces are often very slightly granular like the 1910 and 1912. Lustre varies from only average to excellent, but it would be correct to say that most 1914 eagles have very good lustre. Color is usually a rich greenish gold although light medium orange gold (or even a combination of the two) is also seen. The 1914 is always fully frosty.

Decals, finally!
Decals have access to all the features of the engine's material system and are completely managed on the GPU, so there's no need to involve the physics engine to calculate decal positions for example.
Both 2D decals and volume decals are supported.
The scene in the screenshot I posted is still a work in progress, hence the absence of shadows, indirect/ambient lighting, anti-aliasing and the crude texturing. I'll probably post a journal entry when it's completed.

On Thursday July 3rd, 2014 at 6:52 p.m. an observant citizen called Pinal County Sheriff's Communications 9-1-1 to report two men were in the process of burglarizing her neighbor's residence in the 11,000 block of West Penasco Drive, Arizona City. She further reported her neighbor was out of state and no one should be at the residence. A white pickup truck with a lifted suspension was seen dropping the two men off in front of the home. She then watched the men, who were carrying a tool bag, jump the block wall of the residence.As deputies began surrounding the residence, they noticed a window was broken out and could hear suspects inside the home. The suspects later identified as Michael Wayne Belver, Jr. (age 24 from Eloy) and Derrick Wayne Williams (age 23 from Maples,Texas) fled through the back door of the residence and scaled the block wall. Deputies immediately began canvassing and searching the area for the suspects as other deputies searched the residence for any remaining suspects.While deputies were in the residence, they saw it had been ransacked and also located a black tool bag the suspects were seen carrying prior to burglarizing the home.During the search, a nearby homeowner started yelling for deputies to respond to her residence in the 16,000 block of South Caborca Circle. Upon arrival, deputies learned the male home owner was holding the door closed to his shed. He informed deputies after they began searching for the suspects, he checked his shed and saw a suspect hiding in it.Deputies opened the shed door and observed Michael Belver hiding behind a refrigerator inside the shed. He refused all commands given by deputies. P.C.S.O. K-9 "Aza" was deployed and Belver surrendered and was taken into custody. Further search of the shed revealed Williams was hiding inside of the refrigerator and was taken into custody. After being taken into custody, Williams was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia (Meth Pipe).After being questioned Belver admitted to burglarizing the residence, stating he needed money and decided to break into the residence. After being read his rights Williams refused to be questioned.Belver was arrested and charged with two counts of Burglary and Criminal Damage. Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of Burglary, Criminal Damage, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.Sheriff Paul Babeu stated, "Michael Belver, Jr. and Derrick Williams thought they could victimize the homeowners while they were out of town. Thanks to this observant neighbor their plans were foiled and we were able to arrest and book them into the Pinal County Jail where they will now face the criminal justice system."

The enchanting village of Cachi sits in the sublimely scenic Valles Calchaquies, a collection of picturesque, fertile highland valleys with the sort of climate that makes walking a sheer delight. Much of the land is given to vineyards though the scenery is incredibly varied with mountain upon mountain revealing swarths of cacti forests and unusual rock formations. Throughout the valleys you'll find traditional long, one-storey houses, known as casas de galeria, displaying ornate arches and pillars.
Cachi village itself is a beautiful mix of cobblestone streets and adobe houses with enough striking scenery to keep you happily rambling for days. The permanently snow-capped peak of Nevado del Cachi dominates the horizon to the west of the village and from Cachi the unspoiled landscape of Valle Encantado and desert scenery of Los Cardones National Park are easily accessible and make an excellent day excursion. In town you'll find the tranquil Plaza Mayor, Cachi's centrepiece with palms and orange trees, as well as the simple yet graceful Iglesia San Jose and the well-presented Museo Arqueologico Pio Pablo Diaz displaying a collection of locally excavated items.
Many travellers only visit Cachi as part of a day trip so to make the most of the tranquility of village life, spend the night and take some time to explore the various local crafts on offer, including ponchos and ceramics. Alternatively, the climb to the village cemetery affords fantastic photo opportunities with simple stone graves and superb panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and pea-green valleys of vines, maize and capsicum plantations.
To get you started with planning your holiday to Cachi, we have showcased below some popular itineraries requested by our clients which we hope will inspire your visit to South America

Steve,When you say "dilute" did you mean with water?Also, which is better KASL or Trumps? (I'm running out of my KASL and am wondering what I should get).....also as for the cheese, Grande definetly is the kind you're use to when you go to NY style pizza places, but I've also been happy with fresh 1lb. mozz found in plastic in certain stores like costco or sutton place gourmet . [instead of the ones in water since those make a pool in your pizza].

In its invitations to a press conference sent to various media outlets, Apple has confirmed that it would formally introduce its next-generation iPhone smartphone on the fourth of October, 2011. Given Apple's typical level of corporate secrecy it is natural not to expect any credible leaks concerning the new iPhone, or iPhones, before this date.
The invitation to the press consists of iOS icons that point to "let's talk iPhone" press conference at 10AM on October 4th in Apple's campus in Cupertino, California. The invitation clearly points on a formal unveiling of the next-gen iPhone, which will become available shortly after the press event.
Not a lot is known about the next-generation iPhone. Some believe that it will be an updated version of the current-generation iPhone 4 with dual-core Apple A5 processor that sports improved graphics accelerator and some other innovations. The so-called iPhone 4S rumour is indirectly confirmed by photos of an iPhone prototype in white iPhone 4 enclosure and with A5 system-on-chip. Nonetheless, many believe that the "true" next-gen iPhone 5 will not only feature a new SoC inside, but will sport a different form-factor and a larger screen. Apple can naturally launch two smartphones this time to address different customers.
"We believe a refreshed iPhone 5 will boast enough physical improvements to drive another strong adoption cycle. Although screen resolution should remain the same, we expect an improved front/back camera resolution, faster network technology, a faster A5 processor, improved graphics performance, and potentially thinner/lighter form factor," Maynard Um, an analyst with UBS, wrote in a note to clients, according to a Barron's blog.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

No bidders for tax-forfeited lots
NEW ULM – There were no bidders Tuesday at a tax-forfeited auction of 16 Dacotah West Addition lots at the Brown County Courthouse, and the lots remain available for over-the-counter sale at the auditor-treasurer's office.
A handful of people asked Brown County Assistant Auditor-Treasurer Jean Prochniak questions at the auction but did not make any bids. Bidders are required to provide $1,000 earnest money in the form of checks, money orders or certified checks.
Ronald and Susan Smith of New Ulm signed a Development Agreement with the City of New Ulm on Aug. 1, 2007 for property located on Settler Trail and Benz Circle, north of Cottonwood Street, west of the Cottonwood River, on the south edge of New Ulm. This developed was named Dacotah West Addition.
After a previous unsuccessful attempt to sell the lots, the properties were divided into smaller parcels in an effort to sell them, Prochniak said.
Lots ranged in price from $7,500 for about one-third acre to $25,000 for two lots with up to 1.74 acres. All prices are at appraised values and for cash only. Sales at any other price require county board approval.
All lots will be assessed $25,922 per lot for special assessments upon new construction, or after five years, whichever occurs first, except one lot that will have a permanent exception if there is no construction on it.
Annual taxes for 2012 on the parcels ranged from $315 to $824, Prochniak said.
Two adjacent land parcels of eight lots each are selling for $60,000 and $116,000. Each lot has $7,500 in special assessments to be paid.
Fees and costs collected at time of sale include a $25 state deed fee, $46 deed filing fee, assurance fee calculated at 3 percent of the sale price and a state deed tax calculated according to Minnesota law.

The first answer that might spring to mind is fleas, but if your veterinarian has recently treated your dog for the pests then this may not be the cause for scratching. Your pet could be suffering from a skin infection such as yeast dermatitis, which VCA Animal Hospitals reports is a very common cause of irritated skin among canines.
Yeast dermatitis is a fungal infection that takes advantage of a change in skin conditions or a suppression of the immune system. VCA reports that a dog's skin is a natural host to bacteria and fungi, but if the balance is upset, yeast can take over and cause infections. Clinical signs of yeast infections include dry, flaky or scaly skin. Infected skin may also become thickened, turn red or develop a dark pigmentation. Some dogs may also experience chronic ear infections or their skin could develop a musty, yeasty smell.
Yeast dermatitis is not infectious between pets. It may result from a pet receiving dog shots of corticosteroids or a weakened immune system. There are a number of breeds who are genetically predisposed to yeast dermatitis—including poodles, many different breeds of terriers, cocker spaniels, Basset hounds and Dachshunds. Yeast dermatitis may occur in dogs with hormonal imbalances—like hypothyroidism—or in those with food or airborne allergies. The presence of yeast skin infections is usually a sign of a more significant underlying medical issue.
If you suspect your dog has a skin infection, you should bring it to the veterinarian to determine the underlying problem. A pet health professional can prescribe either a topical or oral treatment which can help relieve your dog's symptoms.

Can we please take down that *bleep* chandelier? And while we're at it, I'm going to paint the *bleep* door knobs after we replace the *bleep* faucets and the matching *bleep* light fixtures in the bathroom.
Any idea what the four letter word in decorating is?
I'm going to whisper and spell it out, so I don't lose sponsors, make little kids gasp or genteel women faint…
Wait. That's five letters. Whatever. It's a bad, naughty word in most decorating scenarios. I'm thinking specifically of the "builder grade" brass fixtures everyone wants to immediately replace in their home. Tacky brass has made me cringe for years and I would replace it with nickel or bronze in a heart beat. I think brass' unfortunate association with cheap fixtures made it a bad word.
A few years ago, something changed for me, though. I started using more gold (brass, really) leaf. I had only used silver leaf before, but decided to give it a try. It looked timeless, classic and elegant and I can't believe it took me so long to see it. I started putting subtle gold accents in my rooms.
I bought a piece of furniture with some beautiful brass knobs. Someone had replaced them with nickel, but kept the original hardware in a bag in a drawer. The nickel looked so inappropriate for the piece, so I decided to use the original knobs. They looked awesome. I had been wrong to throw away every brass knob I came across. I didn't even give them a chance.
Now that I had made my peace with brass, I started to notice it more. Especially brass lamps. Not garish brass lamps, but the ones that are warm and antiqued. I've been looking for one for a while, so I was delighted when I found this one at a yard sale on Saturday for $4.00…
I'll take that, thank you. It's not old, but it has pretty lines and the finish I was looking for.
As I was preparing for this post, I was surprised at how much brass I have in my home and how lovely it can be…
I'll probably always hate builder-grade-brass, but I have definitely found a soft spot in my heart for the four (five) letter word in decorating.

The Discussion
Yeah, you're back! It's been too long!
@windev: Sorry about that. We try to shoot every week but Gov and I get pulled away for emergencies now and then. We'll be shooting every week again starting in mid-July.
@LarryLarsen: LOL @ "it looks like a Russian fishing trawler with all of the antennas coming out of the top of it'! I can just imagine routers being designed to look like one.
Just discovered you guys. I really enjoy your shows. Thanks for all the great information.
Love this show! Keep it up
Using two SSD in a RAID0 might block Windows from using TRIM. I have only tried this setup with hardware RAID and here Windows see the disk as a normal hard disk - not an SSD and that causes Windows not to send TRIM commands.
Maybe this has been fixed on some RAID controllers, but it's a thing to look out for.
ReadyBoost is limited to 4GB in Vista, not in 7. Next if you use a SSD, WinSAT will get a score over 5.9 and in this case Superfetch (which loads the ReadyBoost driver in Win7) will be stopped so you can't use ReadyBoost. If you enable Superfetch again your SSD will have much more access and might die earlier. So the advice to use SSD as ReadyBoost is not the best.
Run TreeSizeFree to see which folders take most space, delete or move useless data to get more free space so you might don't need to buy a new SSD.
Great show as usual. One other thing to recommend for best WiFi signal strength is using the open-source inSSIDer application to monitor signal strength. This tool give you a very clear indicate of signal strength in a chart. It also shows information about channels being used, so you can avoid conflicts. This is a great free tool.
@MagicAndre1981: Interesting, we'll look into that and get a solid response. FWIW I use WinDirStat for file size visualization.
@Rob Patterson: Great tip on avoiding conflicts. Before we started Gov was talking about switching bands so you don't step on neighbors traffic and then when we were shooting we forgot to talk about that.

I know this. I wrote a Guide about what WinSxS is. Any news on my issues (last show)?

I know the tool and the guy who coded it, but I still prefer TreeSizeFree.
Instead of ReadyBoost:
Using the Advanced System Settings window, move your pagefile onto the small SSD. Even an old SSD is still much faster at reading than a traditional spinning hard drive, and Microsoft recommends puting the pagefile on an SSD.
LarryLarsen wrote
@MagicAndre1981: Interesting, we'll look into that and get a solid response.
have you got it?
can you also ask about the MSE symbols? MSE is so extremely slow for me and I want to see the cause.
Ok, I fixed the hibernation issue. I ran ProcMon and xbootmgr hibernation at the same time to see more. In the ProcMon log I found that &MFT and hyberfile calls have a duration over 200s. So, I disabled the pagefile and the hiberfil.sys and ran the boot prepSystem command which defrags Windows and trains Readyboot. After doing this I enabled both again made a reboot and after doing this I sent the PC to hibernation yesterday evening. Today I came home and turn the PC on and hibernation was fast again.
About the pool usage I think it is an interaction with Superfetch which causes the huge paged pool (File, Mmst, Ntfs) memory usage. If I call an undocumented API call to clear the Standby page, the paged pool usage drops. This also happens if you return from hibernation because at this stage the standby page is not used so much (only the special pages 6/7 and a bit from page 5). I'm currently unsure if this is by design or not.

Meeting Description:
Workshop on Mass Media Health Communication
During TABU Dag, a workshop on Mass Media Health Communication will be held on Thursday June 12th from 13:30 until 18:00.
National and international organisations have been using mass media campaigns to get people to live healthier lives for many years now. The effects of these campaigns are varied. Why some strategies work in some situations and others do not is a question that is far from completely clear. One of the factors that seems to play an important role in the persuasiveness of a mass media health message is the receivers' willingness to talk about the message afterwards. That leads to the question: how can we design messages that people find interesting to discuss? Should a message be as clear as possible or does it help if it includes a little puzzle the receiver may attempt to solve? Should we try to scare people into living a healthier life, or is it better to opt for a more neutral approach? Is it helpful if we tell people a compelling story with characters they can identify with if we want to change their health behaviour?
The workshop will be opened by a keynote speaker (t.b.a.) and closed with a panel discussion. During the workshop five other speakers will get the chance to present their work on Health Communication.
For further information, please visit the conference website:
Conference location: Groningen, The Netherlands

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Intel Corp. this week again pulled its latest firmware for 34nm X25-M solid-state drives (SSD) from its web-site due to reports about data corruption the new firmware causes on Windows 7 operating system. The update was supposed to boost performance.
The H2HA firmware upgrade, which was released early this week, and Intel SSD Optimizer use the Windows 7 ATA Data Set Management Command (known as Trim) to help keep the Intel SSD running at continued high performance. In addition, the SSD Toolbox and Optimizer also allow the respective enhancements to work with Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
The Trim attribute of the ATA Data Set Management Command, often referred to as Trim, synchs the operating system's view of deleted files with those that are deleted, but not erased on the drive. Trim tells the SSD which data blocks are no longer in use. This helps stabilize the performance and health of the SSD over time.
For 34nm X25-M 160GB owners, the firmware update also offers a performance boost to sequential write speeds by delivering up to 100MB/s, a 40% speed improvement over the existing firmware version.
Unfortunately, due to data corruption issues on Microsoft Windows 7-based computers, Intel had to withdraw the firmware from its web-site.
"Intel has been contacted by users with issues with the 02HA firmware upgrade on Windows 7 systems and are investigating. We take all sightings and issues seriously and are working toward resolution. We have temporarily taken down the firmware update while we investigate," an official statement by Intel reads.
Earlier this year Intel had to stop selling of its 34nm X25-M SSDs because of a firmware error that caused data corruption under other operating systems.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 6, 2012) -In 2008 the U.S. Paralympic Women's Sitting Volleyball Team took home the silver after falling to China, 25-17, 25-16, 26-24 in the Beijing Paralympic Games gold medal match.
This year Team USA wants a different outcome. They want gold.
"This match is the most important match we have played in four years," Katie Holloway said. "All the sacrifice of training and living away from our families comes down to this one match."
China, currently ranked No. 1 in the world and USA, ranked No. 2 will compete for the gold in front of a sold out ExCeL London crowd at 9 p.m. London time (1 p.m. PT) in a 2008 Paralympic rematch. The match will also be live streamed at Paralympics.org for the rest of the world to watch.
"Up until this time, China have been largely uncontested as the number one ranked team in the world for sitting volleyball competition," U.S. captain Kendra Lancaster (Westfield, Ind.) said. "But this year we hope to change that. Our team have been training for this exact moment for the last four years, and we are going into this game extremely well-prepared to take them on. This is our chance to prove to the world what we've known all along: that WE are the best sitting volleyball team in the world."
During the 2012 London Paralympics the U.S. holds a 3-1 record with its only loss coming from China (4-0) who edged the U.S. in its first match of the tournament, 22-25, 32-30, 25-17. Since that match the Americans have not dropped a set, sweeping Slovenia, Brazil and Ukraine to advance into the final match.
"The only thing we need to make sure to execute is our game," Holloway said. "We are in control out there and that is the best feeling in the world. We are ready to fight for it. We are definitely hungry for that Gold!"
China, two-time defending Paralympic gold medalists (2004, 2008), came back from a 2-0 set deficit to The Netherlands to advance into the finals with a 17-25, 25-14, 13-25, 25-16, 15-11 final score.
Team USA is led by Head Coach Bill Hamiter (Bethany, Okla.) and includes Lancaster, Allison Aldrich (Schuyler, Neb.), Monique Burkland (Ardmore, Okla./University of Central Oklahoma Resident Athlete), Heather Erickson (Fayetteville, N.C./UCO Resident Athlete), Michelle Gerlosky-Schiffler (Lake Wales, Fla./UCO Resident Athlete), Holloway, Kaleo Kanahele (Oklahoma City, Okla.), Brenda Maymon-Jenson (Charlestown, Ind.), Nichole Millage (Champaign, Ill./UCO Resident Athlete), Kari Miller (Washington, D.C.) and Lora Webster (Phoenix, Ariz.).
Eight athletes will return from the 2008 U.S. Paralympic Women's Sitting Volleyball Team: Aldrich, Erickson, Holloway, Maymon-Jensen, Webster, Millage, Miller and Lancaster.
Aldrich, Maymon-Jenson, Webster and Lancaster are making their third Paralympic appearance as they also competed at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, where the United States won the bronze medal.
Burkland, Gerlosky-Schiffler and Kanahele will look to make their Paralympic debuts.
Joining Hamiter on the staff for London will be assistant coach Cara Lang, team leader Cecile Reynaud, athletic trainer Brian Choate and statistician Elliot Blake.
Vying for the bronze will be Ukraine vs. defending bronze medalists, The Netherlands at 7 p.m. London time (11 a.m. PT).
The medal ceremony will follow the conclusion of the gold match at approximately 10:45 p.m. London time (2:45 p.m. PT).
"We surprised everyone in Athens by winning Bronze against much more experienced teams and improved upon that by beating the Netherlands for a berth in the gold medal match in Beijing," Lancaster said. "We lost to China and brought home Silver, and it was the same story in 2010. None of us are interested in duplicating that feeling, nor the result. We're a much better team than we were in the past. We're stronger, more experienced, more mature and more determined, and we're tired of being in second place."

Longitudinal evaluation of outcomes for youth with serious emotional disturbance during two years of Children's Psychosocial Rehabilitation
This study assessed the course, rate, and significance of change in participants' day-to-day functioning during two years of Children's Psychosocial Rehabilitation (CPSR). Hierarchical linear mixed models were used to analyze Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) outcome data for 49 youth with serious emotional disturbance, aged 7 to 17 years. The authors estimated participants' change trajectory, difference in initial versus 16-month status, and difference in rate of change between the first 12 and last 8 months of the study. Controlling for age, participants improved by 13.73 points on the CAFAS every four months, generating a statistically and clinically significant improvement from intake to 16 months. The rate of change decreased significantly to 1.37 points per wave during the last 8 months of the study. CPSR participants improve significantly during treatment, with the majority of changes occurring in the first year.
