Many web CMS vendors and open source communities describe their web content management (WCM) systems as enterprise. But what does enterprise mean in this context? Are there web CMSs out there that are not enterprise? Does it even matter? Is it beneficial for organizations to invest in an enterprise web CMS, or is it just a fancy marketing buzzword that carries little meaning?

Once I thought that email might embody a reincarnation of epistolary prose. With the ubiquity of the telephone, discursive letter-writing had become a thing of the past, reduced to bite-sized, prefabricated, Hallmark-branded shorthand. But when I crafted my first emails, I heard the voices of Civil War soldiers, speaking from the pages of their preserved letters home; the voices of Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller as they conversed remotely through lengthy elegant missives; the foment of revolution and redemption in George Jackson's prison correspondence with Angela Davis. The letters of everyman and literati alike, penned with years of reading and rereading in mind. I thought that the written word had found a new voice, that we would again craft our prose with the higher standard of written permanency that the immediacy and convenience of fleeting phone calls had tossed by the wayside.
Perhaps these dreamy sentiments can be reduced to the naïvete of a young would-be writer, but I think they are more reflective of a lack of prescience of the ways instant communication would further undermine the craft of writing. While recent legislation and scandal have pushed businesses to regard email as an official (and actionable) form of communication, I fear the email's die may have already been cast…and it didn't come up seven.
I receive a minimum of 50 emails a day. Of these, maybe five are written with anything approaching the sort of care one would invest in the most casual business letter. It's not that I necessarily mind the occasional dashed-off note, but I find that many email correspondents don't bother to spell check, nor write in complete (much less compelling) sentences. The sense I get is that many email "writers" invest about as much energy into writing an email as they do in hitting the send button. I receive threads I shouldn't because of that too-handy forward button; I get copies of press releases that still have track-changes on; I get successions of corrected versions of hastily sent emailed press releases (great, because what I actually need is more email).
At the recent Weblog Business Strategies (which you could read almost verbatim online, in near real time), the notion was vehemently put forth that blogging will do away with journalism once and for all. (And good riddance!). Okay, you might guess I appreciated that suggestion about as much as a blow to the gut. But once I uncrumpled and was able to take in a few full breaths again, I began to think about how we reached this point. Blogging has already inexorably changed journalism, no doubt about that. Much like the Internet as a whole, blogging has further increased the expectation of instantaneous communication. It has also indulged in a dangerous level of self-immersion and -reflection, the likes of which are comparable to the clique that penned the surrealist manifesto. Infinite regression anyone? But I digress. The real-time minutes of the Weblog Business Strategies are almost drowned out by shouts of "Ya, you're right!" and "Me-too!" So much back-slapping and so little perspective.
Ah, perspective. Now what the heck does that word mean in the Gimme—Now! era? Maybe perspective, if you'll pardon the pun, is a thing of the past. Maybe we don't want our "news" placed in context, fleshed out with annoying facts that might not jibe with real-time-rhetoric, or—heaven forbid—be professionally written. Of course, this is all well and good for me to say, because I can. I have a forum and maybe if I didn't I'd be right up on a blogging soap box of my own construction with a posse of virtual toadies raising their fists in support of my own little slice of rant.
But perspective isn't all that journalism tempers the delivery of insta-news with. We play by rules. How passé. As the resignation of key New York Times editors in the wake of the Blair scandal indicates, we don't condone plagiarism. We honor NDAs. We make a clear distinction between on- and off-the-record comments. (Unlike bloggers who were not accountable to agreements made with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates when speaking at the recent D: All Things Digital conference and posted off-the-record comments to the Web, which were then reiterated in the press.) We write with an eye to the longevity of and accountability for our words. Yes, a public forum is a good thing, but to confuse self-expression and public discourse with professional journalism or even news seems like another incredibly short-sighted step towards a more-information, yet less informed future.
So, while Sarbanes-Oxley may have mandated archiving—and by extension some level of accountability in email—what no litigation will achieve is a return to the fundamentals of effective communication. And with blogging coming to a business near you, the stakes just got raised again. Let's hope we don't crap out on this one.

ABC Decides to Drop the Mockumentary Format from New Cop Show Detroit 1-8-7
Now, the cops can beat up perps without having to worry it'll end up on mock TV.
Christopher Guest now has one fewer mockumentary to feel responsible for: While the pilot for ABC's Detroit 1-8-7, an NYPD Blue-esque cop hour that debuts this fall, was shot in the very trendy fake-documentary style used by The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Modern Family, Vulture has learned that ABC has decided to nix that format and spend four days reshooting scenes on location in Detroit to remove all traces of it from the first episode. Now, the series, which stars Michael Imperioli, will center around cops, not Cops.
The idea of dropping Detroit's faux doc format was first brought up even before ABC officially ordered the show in May (though as recently as Tuesday, the network's online press materials still included the conceit in the show's description). ABC is also launching another mockumentary-style series in the fall — My Generation, a soapy relationship drama which revolves around a group of pals who've been harassed by documentary makers since they were high school seniors back in 2000 — so one wonders if the network decided that three such shows (counting Modern Family) might test viewers's patience. Detroit executive producers Jason Richman and David Zabel, however, say that wasn't the motivating reason for the decision.
Zabel says that ABC nixed the doc style because the network "found the characters and the storytelling to be strong enough to not require the conceit, and they also were worried about distancing the audiences." Also, ironically, a reality format could inhibit the reality of the show: Imperioli's detective character is a hothead, and if he knew he was being documented, he might hold back his reactions to certain situations.
And real life intruded in another way. In late May, Detroit mayor Dave Bing decided to ban camera crews from riding along with the city's police officers, following the death of a seven-year-old during a raid being filmed by A&E reality show The First 48. "We're trying to do a show that's realistic," says Richman. "And we suddenly found ourselves with a premise that would no longer be viable." Perhaps Scranton's mayor could be convinced to pass a similar law; it could make for a graceful way to shut down The Office after Steve Carell leaves.

Senior management commitment to disability: the influence of legal compulsion and best practice
Cunningham, I.R. and Dibben, P. and James, P. (2001) Senior management commitment to disability: the influence of legal compulsion and best practice. Personnel Review, 30 (4). pp. 454-467. ISSN 0048-3486
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
Over the past two decades, two distinct types of action have been taken to address discrimination in the labour market against people with disabilities. First, the introduction of legislation and, second, the launch of "best practice" initiatives. Analyses company annual reports to test whether these two types of action have acted to increase senior management commitment to tackling the disadvantaged position of disabled workers. Presents findings that cast doubt on the extent to which either of the approaches have served to increase such commitment. Identifies a number of legislative reforms, encompassing the introduction of requirements on the external auditing of disability practices, access to occupational health services and the use of contract compliance, that could be utilised to raise the priority accorded to disability issues by senior managers.

Do informal risk sharing networks crowd out public voluntary health insurance? Evidence from Vietnam
Many governments in low-income countries have promoted voluntary health insurance schemes in recent years, with the principal aim of improving access to services amongst those working in the informal economy. Few attempts to understand demand for such schemes exist, particularly in light of the importance of informal social security arrangements for many households. A model of demand for health insurance is developed reflecting this context, and estimated using data from Vietnam. The results show that informal financial networks may crowd out government promoted health insurance. Implications for theory and policy are discussed.

William Lance Berkman is a Major League Baseball player for the Houston Astros. His official listed height is six feet, one inch, and his weight is 220 pounds . Berkman is a switch-hitting outfielder/first baseman who throws left-handed, a comparatively rare practice amongst non-pitchers.

"I think that's just one of those weird things in the game of baseball. At some point, you've gotta think [the Phillies] are due."
Lance Berkman
"Viz is another guy that I think is great with not only the Latino guys but he's also great for guys like me. Anybody can draw on his wealth of experience. They set a standard for the right way to play the game and the right way to conduct yourself in the clubhouse and on the field. Their example is very important."
"There's a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasn't a lot of fun."
"I don't care how he pitches. He's out there and his mom just passed away. If he pitches great or not, it's not going to matter one bit to anybody in here."
"People have been saying we have the best schedule for the wild-card race, but I don't know that's true, ... These guys are tough, and we still have to play the game. Anything can happen, and obviously tonight Roger didn't have his best stuff, and they capitalized on it and we weren't able to stay in the game."
"It's a very high honor, ... I remember when I was being recruited to go there and they take you through the hall of honor and see all the guys' pictures and stuff. It doesn't even cross your mind then that one day you'll have your picture up there."
"He did what he always does. It's amazing that on a day like this that he was able to focus and perform."
"I feel like Wandy's thrown the ball really well the whole year, ... I know he's had a few rough starts, but you can't expect a rookie to come up and give the innings he's given us."
"If we win (the wild card), it's because we have unbelievable starting pitching,"
"There's not another starting rotation that measures up to ours. And then you get to the back part of the game, with (Brad) Lidge. That's who we are. We don't outslug teams; we outpitch them."

Some like them crispy, some like them chewy. I like them both ways - crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle. To me, a perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie is rich and buttery with a pronounced caramelized flavour enhanced by pure quality vanilla extract. It is as much about the dough as it is the chocolate, and it should always be slightly undercooked to sustain a moist & chewy interior. This also translates to denseness in that the ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie shall never be cakey...never ever....ever. So here is the best advice I can give you today:
Do not trust a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that uses baking powder. As a matter of fact, never trust a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that uses more than 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for a yield of 2 dozen cookies.
Baking powder will guarantee leavening in a cookie batter. It is a mixture of acidic (monocalcium phosphate & sodium acid pyrophosphate) and alkaline (sodium bicarbonate) chemical leavening compounds and corn starch. These compounds react during baking to produce carbon dioxide gas, adding softness, tenderness and lightness to baked goods. Baking powder need only be used when there are no other acidic ingredients in a recipe that can serve to neutralize/react with baking soda (pure sodium bicarbonate). For example, chocolate chip cookie dough is made with a generous amount of brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar), which is naturally acidic. So, a touch of baking soda adds enough alkaline material to neutralize the acidity of the brown sugar and provide just the right amount of leavening needed to produce a marvelous cookie.
What happens if there is too much baking soda?
Too much baking soda can result in a bad Chocolate Chip Cookie for several reasons. Firstly, it can carry the carbon dioxide-producing reaction too far, depending on the recipe, and create too many gas bubbles that produce a cake-like cookie. Secondly, if more baking soda is added than what is actually required to carry the reaction to completion (i.e. to use up all of the acidic components in the dough), then residual sodium bicarbonate left in the cookie will leave a bad aftertaste.

Ben's Second Sunday Lunch
Ben's second lunch includes star-shaped turkey & cheese sandwiches on Nature's Own Honey Wheat with very last of the roasted red pepper-tomato dip as a spread. He has a small chunk of strawberry oatmeal bar, some carrots, a few apple slices, grapes, and his "Peanut" pick of blueberries.
Stay tuned this week for some grown-up bentos! I promised Shaun that since I only had one kid to cook for this week, I'd make him some healthy husband lunches. ;o)
8 comments:
Hi, I've been following your blog for the past few weeks, and I think I'm inspired enough to start trying these. But one question (and I apologize if it's on the blog somewhere) - do you end up with lots of food scraps? For instance, what do you do with the outside parts of the star sandwiches? I assume you're cutting them with a cookie cutter. So do you throw them out, stick them in your own lunch, or recycle them somehow?
ReplyDeleteThey almost always end up being eaten by someone in my house. The kids are either standing around begging for a sample or I'll eat them as I'm making them. If there is just a bit of bread left, we live next to a little lake and there are two really cute ducks that live there. :o)
For cheese, fruit & veggies, assuming no one is eating food quicker than I can cut it out, I save it for other uses. A lot of non-photographed salads have odd bits of cheese & veggies in them. Fruit never lasts long around here, so those are very unlikely to even make it back to the fridge.

New store, nice placeI shopped the Grand Opening weekend and was impressed with the type of merchandise I could find. But..if you want to be the neighborhood store you are going to have to stay open past 7:00. You have to cater to your customers otherwise we drive right past to HomeDepot. The other hardware store that was there didn't make it, maybe this was part of the problem. I know we had to go elsewhere several times since it was past 7:00pm when we needed something. Just a thought.

Read this review!It's funny when small businesses out to do there big name competition in every possible way. When I showed up at there shop I noticed this little small business had a much better service right off the bat, you can tell they appreciate your business and they offer a very comforting feeling when your in there care. Unlike the big businesses who seem to busy to be polite and seem to treat there customers as problems not welcomed customers. I will be coming back, I've always appreciated small businesses and I hope this review helps somebody find this exceptional example of a great one.

Another seasonal vege that I love, Sweet potatos!
I made sweet potato cream in the same way as the pumpkin cream. Sweet potato is very similar to pumpkin when it's cooked, so as I said for pumpkin cream you can use it for pretty much for anything.
I usually make a batch of sweet potato cream and freeze certain amount in small containers so I can take one out when I want to use it for my breads, cakes or desserts.
This time I made mini sweet potato mont blanc for morning tea time. Look at these tiny tea cups! I got them from IKEA kid's section… I think they are supposed to be toy? They're super cute anyway…;D
Have you tried my Pumpkin cream yet?

tg exam tomorrow, any tips?
Ok, I know I'm late but just respond anyway:
I did my exam and was the only one in the year to finish. Clearly this means that above all there is a timing problem for most people. Timings to obey would be 15 minutes for 10 short questions (no more!) and 40 minutes for each long question (no more!!). You should have 5-10 minutes to go back at the end then to go back and finish short questions and do some shading to improve marks.
I really do advise having an idea of what questions you want to do before you go in. For me, I like the orthographic (question 1), solids in contact (question 4), transformations (question 5) and conics sections (question).
I do think TG is a do-able subject and although it is a tough exam you just need to stick to timings and try your best and you'll do well :) I hope you stick with it!
I agree. Timing was also an issue for me in the junior cert. Just don't panic like i did when i started to figure out that i was going to run out of time. We actually got 15 mins more time to finish during the junior cert.
Just try your best, if you cant solve a question, move onto the next one and come back to it, remember attempt marks on every question is better than no marks at all. If it helps leave title blocks on sheets until your done, as they use up unncecarry time you could be spending on the question, and as said above, watch your timing.
best of luck
Maybe, in the actual Junior Cert, start with the long questions. They are worth more marks, and it's better to run out of time in the short questions than in the long questions. It wont be great if you spend too much time in the short questions during the start of the exam, because you wont be able to complete the long questions in time (and you would lose a lot of marks). If you leave the short questions to the very end, you would be able to answer them quick and you would lose less marks if you run out of time in the short questions.
Start with the easy short questions, any that are difficult leave til the end after the long Q's, don't waste time on them. I always had time issues but in the actual JC you've enough time if you do your hw and practice the questions. I was getting C's through the exams and then got an A in the JC in HL
In my junior Cert, we actually got extra time to finish off my exam(15 mins approx)!!! Timing is always a big issue in tech graph. If you find a question really awkward, just skip it after 5 minutes of attempting it
if you're running out of time just pick a question and draw what you see. Examiners have to give you attempt marks for it.

Madame Bijoux was an elderly woman whom Jack Dawson had met in Paris. He claimed she came each night in the bar wearing all the jewelry she owned while "waiting for her long lost love". He had made a portrait of her and kept it in his sketchbook. Her character was never actually seen in the film. She was merely a drawing that Jack showed Rose DeWitt Bukater.
According to IMDB, the drawing is based on a 1933 photograph called "Bijou" taken by famous photographer Brassaï.

As the Title states, Program will mainly be used to Edit FRAPS video. Looking for something thats fully free, and not a "Trial" version. looked around on google, but alot of what I saw looked sketchy. I'm actually new to using Video making software...I've just never really had a need for it untill now. Thanks in Advance.
Wikipedia comes to the rescue, listing (almost?) all software packages that can be used for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_editing_software I can't personally offer you anything in particular. I've used Avidemux, Kdenlive, VirtualDub, Cinelerra, (and Adobe Premiere), and I've found them all decent for what I was trying to do at the time, but they are suitable for different tasks and they are used differently, so YMMV. I've also used Windows Movie Maker, and I wasn't happy with it (it could only output to formats I didn't want IIRC), but that was probably the first version ever, so it no longer applies.
I use Blender's VSE a lot. It's remarkably flexible, with new features added regularly as Blender continues to grow. The drawback is that it is integrated as part of Blender's whole 3D modeling/rendering/animation product, and that environment can be challenging to master. But once you get the basics down, you'll not only be able to use the VSE as a non-linear editor, but you'll be able to integrate 3D elements and composite an unlimited range of effects. Oh! I nearly forgot. Blender is essentially platform independent. That means you can easily move your project files from Linux to Mac to Windows with minimal maintenance.
I've used VirtualDub with some frequency, but its feature set is rather limited compared to commercial software like AVID, which I've also used.
Do yourself a favor and just buy Sony Vegas Studio. It's less than $50, works great and you won't be pulling your hair out trying to get something done.
You didn't really specify what you meant by "edit" your FRAPS videos, but I'm guessing you just want to resize it, maybe edit out parts or combine multiple videos into one, and convert to some other final format. If that's it, VirtualDub will do it just fine and it's not that hard to learn. You won't be able to do any 3D effects or transitions or anything of that sort, but it will do what I'm guessing you want it for.
I've got a program called "Video Edit Master" that I use when I need to cut/splice together something. It's free.

Disciples II: Servants of the Dark
Disciples II: Servants of the Dark Review
You will create armies to conquer and control territory, hire powerful mages and warriors, develop your fledgeling cities, and lead your race to glory
Disciples II: Dark Prophecy is a turn based strategy game in which you play the role of one of four races struggling for survival and dominance of your war torn world. You will create armies to conquer and control territory, hire powerful mages and warriors, develop your fledgeling cities, and lead your race to glory. Using a careful balance of diplomacy, resource management, magic and military might, you will strive to etch your name in long and bloody history of Nevendarr.
This game franchise has long been the standard for fantasy turn based strategy games. It was a fine mix of nice game mechanics, with beautiful graphics and excellent sound effects, that provided an always enjoyable gaming session. The add ons, Servants of the Dark and Guardians of the light allow the players to play either the evil races in Dark, or the Good races in Guardians. The stand alone expansions do include the Campaigns from Award winning Disciples 2, Dark Prophecy game.
In this expansion, you can command one of the four races of the dark side of the disciples world. Each of the four are working towards different victory conditions. The Legions of the damned, for example, are striving to spread a deadly plague over all the lands of Nevendaar, and they also are trying to steal the power of the reborn Elven god. The Undead Horde, lead by Mortis, seeks revenge on her back from dead husband, Gallean, and she doesn't care whom or what is destroyed to get at him.
This expansion includes a large number of bug fixes and game play corrections, and also attempts to widen the scope of the original game. In this regard, the game is a bit disappointing, as more could certainly have been added to increase the value of this title.
One problem that is quite troublesome is that the game map is not very 'clean,' you can easily miss enemies and opprotunies as you march about the country side. The new campaigns are nice, but a lot of space was devoted to the original game, so little was left over for the new games. This was done because your character must complete the original campaigns before they can venture into the new material. Unless your completely familiar with this game system, you really should play the original campaigns anyway, as the tutorial is very minimal.
The strength of this game is the visuals, the characters are presented as painted shields, and as excellent animation when engaged in battle. The artwork is both stunning and original, and makes some of the tedious game play worthwhile. The game maps include the usual collection of towns and villages, as well as castles and keeps, all the things that we have come to expect from the fantasy genre.
I would consider this expansion more like a game patch, with some new material added, rather than a major new product. The fact that most of the game play glitches have been corrected is of course a major plus, and the two new campaigns are nice, but for anyone who played the original, the amount of new features may be disappointing. However, for someone new to this game system, this will provide hours of fascinating game play, and I would say, if your a TBS Fantasy fan, by all mean, go buy Disciples 2, Servants of the Dark or the twin Guardians of the light, they are worth the money.

- Horses for Sale
- - Need Recommendations for a Hauler
Need Recommendations for a Hauler I've just sold a horse and I'm looking for recommendations for a professional hauler, to take her from here in OK to Northern CA. Anyone got a recommendation? Thanks! |
Creech Horse Transportation Great company, and drivers must have prior horse experience. Also help with shipping overseas too, if ever need that. |
Thanks! |
Bob Hubbard, from what I hear on another, known to you also, forum;-) |
Paul Lynch from Untitled Document Seriously think he is the best you can get :) Google him and you will find talk on other forums (all good) and check out his reviews on his website. 605-212-8916 if you are interested in seeing when he is making his next trip. |
Thanks WN, I'm checking out everyone's reviews and getting quotes for the buyer. I'm giving her all the info and she'll make the final decision and book the ride. I really appreciate all the feedback and I'm compiling a list in case I ever need a pro. Normally, I do my own hauling but in a case where I needed to haul more than 3, or like this case it's 1800 miles I can't do it for what they'll quote. Not to mention, as much as I'd love to go visit some friends in CA, I just can't afford the time away from home. |
Never heard anything bad about Creech Bros., they are right around the corner from me. I see them all the time on the hwy and the trailers and trucks always look top notch. |
I've used Bill Saylor at Circle S for years and he's done a fantastic job. He's a great horseman and does a lot of checks. Nationwide is also very good. |

Support for Majority Latino Congressional District Grows; Mayoral Hopefuls Like It
Electeds and advocates rallying for a new Latino congressional district earlier this month.
Sam Levin
As delays and uncertainty persist in the redistricting process in Albany, support is growing for a new majority Latino congressional district in New York City.
Pols and advocates have been rallying this month in an effort to pressure the state to draw a majority Latino district that would include parts of upper Manhattan, the west Bronx, and Corona and Jackson Heights in Queens. Advocates say this district would unite communities of interest and give a stronger voice to the city's Latino population which has grown dramatically over the last decade. (Latinos make up the city's largest minority group at 29 percent of the total 8.1 million population).
On Friday, public advocate and likely mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio sent out a statement in support of this Latino district -- which would be the third in the city.
Yesterday, pols and civic groups marched from Washington Heights to the Bronx to bring attention to the campaign. The Dominican Ambassador Roberto Saladin has also come out in support of the plan, and today City Comptroller John Liu, another expected 2013 mayoral candidate, spoke in favor of the congressional district at a Dominican Independence Day event.

Runnin' Scared spoke this afternoon with City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, who represents parts of upper Manhattan and who has been vocal in the push for this new district. Rodriguez -- who tipped us off about Liu's statements -- said that those seeking citywide office must get behind this plan.
"It should not take anything more than looking at the numbers...The numbers are there that justify the creation of a Latino congressional seat," Rodriguez said, talking to two reporters at an event at City College. "The numbers should be used to draw the lines and it should reflect the population in the city, and I hope that we will be able to get the support from all my colleagues in government."
"Today at the Dominican Independence Day, John Liu said publicly there that he believes that it is time, that he believes in a Latino congressional seat," Rodriguez said, adding that de Blasio and Bill Thompson, another mayoral hopeful, have offered their support. "I hope that anyone that is looking to get into citywide [office] understands that this is an important decision. This is an important issue for the community, and we will be looking very carefully on where people stand."
After a reporter from Capital New York asked about longtime Congressman Charlie Rangel's seat -- which could be impacted by this new Latino district -- Rodriguez said, "We are working to create a Latino congressional seat, respecting the African-American congressional seat held by Charlie Rangel...We've been from the beginning supporting this African-American community to maintain this seat that belongs to them. Harlem is a symbol of the African-American community nationwide and they should have the numbers to be sure that that seat is held by one of them."
For the mayoral hopefuls, supporting this district is one way to appeal to Latino voters.
De Blasio's statement last week said, "Our State Legislature has the historic opportunity to create a third Congressional District to affirm the right of the growing Latino community to elect the candidates of its choice, without significant changes to current 'majority-minority' Congressional districts."
Runnin' Scared has reached out to Liu's office and will update if we hear back.

Simple and works perfectly
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The adapter i used to use is now resting in the toolbox, this is perfect, one tool does it all for cassette or center lock.
Your toolbox needs this.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Changing cassettes is traditionally a frustrating balance of wrangling a lockring tool, wrench, and chain whip with just two hands without also getting injured by the sharp-toothed object you're trying to work on. This tool kicks those worries to the curb and just makes sense. I'm not sure why more tool companies haven't switched over to this type of design - it makes cassette maintenance a breeze.
I use it all the time!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I clean my cassette about every 1.5 weeks by taking it off and putting it in a ultrasonic cleaner. This tool makes it so easy! I use to fumble a lot with the wrench and the cassette removal nut...no more!
you just need one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got tired of borrowing one of these on the not to often occasions I was changing out a cassette. Way less hassle to own one and this one has worked very well in the 7 or 8 times I've used it.
No Need For an Adjustable Wrench
You don't need to carry around an adjustable wrench to unlock your cassette like most of the "nut" style tools. The Abbey also gives you great leverage when loosening and tightening your cassette.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The quality is unreal. Works great and using it is awesome.

Will we see gene therapy for eczema?
The treatment, called Glybera and developed by the Dutch company uniQure, treats a rare condition in which people are unable to break down fat-carrying molecules.
Gene therapy is one way that I imagine patients of the future might be cured of eczema. Glybera gives us a peek into how that might happen.
In gene therapy, doctors replace a patient's faulty gene with a good one. The large protein filaggrin is currently the best candidate for eczema gene therapy. Several studies have linked filaggrin mutations to a higher risk of developing eczema.
Filaggrin gene therapy would have to be applied early in life. This is because in our current understanding, eczema is caused by a skin barrier defect that allows allergies to develop after a critical time window. Filaggrin mutations cause a faulty skin barrier. So you'd have to fix filaggrin early, because waiting too long would allow allergies to develop, after which fixing filaggrin solves only half the problem.
Glybera is a biotherapeutic, a gene (length of DNA) that is attached to a well-characterized and benign virus. Doctors will inject Glybera into leg muscles, where the virus infects cells and incorporates itself and the therapeutic gene into the patient's DNA—but only in leg muscle cells, presumably because Glybera gets absorbed locally. Then the patients will be able to break down the fat-carrying molecules, and their blood will no longer be overloaded with fat.
A biotherapeutic for eczema would likely be an intact filaggrin gene incorporated into a similar virus.
Gene therapy for the skin would have to be restricted to skin cells. You could accomplish this with a topical cream or ointment applied in the clinic. I'm guessing you would want to treat your whole skin, not just spots that were flaring up at the time.
How long will it last? The effects of Glybera apparently last for years, probably because muscle cells live a long time. Skin cells are a different matter—they are turning over continually. This could turn out to make gene therapy for skin conditions near-impossible.
But perhaps you could take regular doses—pills or injections—of a gene therapy that includes a genetic switch that turns on only in skin cells.
The critical early window for developing allergies in eczema patients could turn out to be a bonus in disguise. Maybe filaggrin gene therapy would only be required during a window of a few years, after which it could be discontinued and allergies would never develop.
Obviously extensive clinical trials for safety would be necessary. I could imagine this type of therapy becoming available within two decades. My grandchildren could be among the first to benefit.

Hi. Have you read dr Martin rapaports papers on steroid-induced eczema?
Basically, he is saying that overuse of steroid creams in eczema patients can cause a form of dermatitis known as red skin syndrome and that many people who think they have eczema actually have steroid-induced dermatitis. A japanese dr called dr mototsugu fukaya also has written extensively on the subject, including amazing healing photos on his site. Both papers can be accessed via itsan.org if you care to take a look. I would be interested in your opinion.
I stopped using steroids back in November and am almost healed. I believe I grew out of my childhood eczema long ago, but my dermatitis persisted because I was using increasingly strong steroid creams.Thanks for the info, Louise. Glad to hear your own eczema is mostly cleared up.
I have recently seen press releases from ITSAN. I'll look into it a bit more. I do know that excessive and continued use of strong steroids can thin the skin and reduce the anti-inflammatory effect of the ointment. It seems plausible that in rare cases steroids could somehow irritate the skin themselves (because of steroids or other components). I have trouble believing that something like steroid-induced eczema would be widespread, though. It's not going to be the mystery single cause everyone would like to find. But as I said I'll look into it.- AnonymousFebruary 8, 2013 at 8:04 PM
Very very intersting article - me and my son have eczema and what a god send to see a cure for him and his kids (when he grows up).
My son also has a rare metabolic life threating condition and gene therapy will be his way out of that one too - our specialist does confirm she believes a cure through gene therapy will be available to him in his life time.
So your article/cmments gave me renewd hope.
I hope for all our sakes a true cure is soon - people don't realise the true evil of eczema.
Best of luck, Jas (Australia) - AnonymousAugust 19, 2013 at 2:00 PM
I have struggled with hand/foot eczema for about 10 years, but always had dry skin and minor outbreaks even in childhood (I'm now 63). The problem is now worse than ever, perhaps because of the heat here in Arizona. I am especially interested to learn if anyone is beginning to develop a link between the filaggrin gene defect (with its loss of moisture through the skin) and diseases like kidney stones. I have always been a water drinker, but underwent surgery for kidney stones recently--"stay well hydrated" is the mantra, but I wonder if I have a handicap due to the filaggrin gene thing? Thoughts anyone? azluthier@cox dot net.

2 decades is too fucking long! the wa you do it is to transfect the gene in a patients fibroblast stem cells

Excellent. I'd happily be a guinea pig. Sure many other sufferers would be willing to give it a go too. Sod animal testing, they ain't got a choice. I used to have pet mice and they have got personalities / feelings.
On a positive note, I did hear eczema protects against cancer (which is great as I do like a smoke -and the gov do need the tax).Replies- AnonymousOctober 11, 2015 at 6:41 AM
It would only be against skin cancer, and the study done for it was highly inconclusive.
- AnonymousAugust 20, 2015 at 7:49 PM
Louise, I read about Dr. Rapaports steroid induced eczema about a year or two ago and have since been cutting down on steroids which has actually helped a lot.
In the areas that I have stopped using steroids completely, there's no more inflamed type flare ups really.
However I still can't seem to get the skin barrier back into working order, mainly on my face. It's always dry and raw and moisturisers seem to make it worse in the long run.

A few days ago I packed everything up that I had left and closed the door to that apartment that has been my home for the past years. It was weird, surreal. Matt was there and actually helped my friend and I move a piece of furniture, almost killing himself in the process. I didn't know what to say though and my friend could tell I was clearly flustered. I'm ready to move on but some things still hold me back, like the over $500 he still owes me that I'll probably never see again. I just need to let it go.
I'm now in a transition period where I've yet to move into my new place so I'm living out of suitcase in my friends living room, potentially staying with a few other friends in between. My friends have been so amazing through this whole ordeal, I'm not quite sure what I'd do without them. I've gone out more in the past three weeks than I have in the past three years. It's fun, I'm getting a new sense of life and feeling refreshed and happy!
Emma's new mom is still keeping me updated. It looks like her new home is going to work out. She told me that they absolutely love her and they needed her just as much as she needed them. (tears, tears and more tears) I still look at pictures of her and cry but I'm so glad she's in a great home and not sitting in a shelter.
This semester is coming to an end, summer is around the corner which means a trip to Las Vegas with friends and I'm looking forward to ALL of it.

BRENTWOOD — A Hampton woman who allegedly struck and killed a pedestrian from Massachusetts last fall was indicted this month.
Danielle Kooyoomjian, 30, of 19 Lafayette Road, faces two counts of negligent homicide, alternate theories.
Police claim Kooyoomjian struck Charles Sayre, 57, of Amesbury, Mass., at approximately 1 a.m. on Oct. 13. She was indicted in March on two felony-level driving while intoxicated charges.
Sayre was at the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Highland Avenue when police claim Kooyoomjian hit him in the 2003 Honda Civic she was operating. Sayre suffered from a temporal bone fracture, a pelvic fracture and a splenic laceration, according to Rockingham County Superior Court documents. He succumbed to his injuries at Massachusetts General Hospital the next day.
The temporal bones are located on the side and base of the skull.

Emergency Department nurse Dana Fraysher signs the DAISY Award banner.
When an area mom brought her child to the Emergency Department at Cardinal Glennon recently, she expected to get great care. What she did not expect was to meet a woman she would soon call her daughter's guardian angel.
Dana Fraysher, a nurse in the Emergency Department, is the newest winner of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.
When a young patient came to the ED, symptoms pointed to appendicitis. Blood work was ordered so treatment could begin quickly. However, Fraysher pushed to order a blood culture test, which can detect infections, just to rule out anything else. The patient's mom was very grateful that she did.
"This is how we found out my daughter had a blood infection," the patient's mom wrote in the nomination. "She had not become severely sick yet, so they were able to start her on treatment right away."
The patient's mother said she was impressed that Fraysher would consider an infection, given the symptoms.
"Even my daughter's own doctor said he probably would not have ordered blood cultures due to her symptoms," the patient's mother wrote. "Due to Dana's great clinical skills and experience, she was able to see what needed to be done for my daughter."

I just finished reading Island of Vice: Theodore Roosevelt's Doomed Quest to Clean Up Sin-Loving New York, and it's fantastic (stay tuned for review). Especially if you have a bit of a crush on histories of New York, which I do. My six years in New York embedded within me a deep respect for the power of that place, of its neverending capacity to change, and yet harbor within it so much history, so many stories, so many lives.
One of my greatest pleasures, as a reader and as an ex-Manhattanite, is diving back into the city I think I know so well only to find a previously undiscovered layer. That is precisely what Island of Vice does: peels back what we think we know about 1890s Manhattan, and Theodore Roosevelt's time there, and instead presents what we should have known.
Throughout it, I could not help but draw parallels to that well-loved thriller, The Alienist, which I read early last year and absolutely adored. The two feature many of the same characters (Jacob Riis, Theodore Roosevelt, Big Bill Devery, etc.), but approach the subjects of vice, police corruption, and TR's time as Police Commissioner from very, very different angles. And yet it is impossible not to see the connections. If you haven't read The Alienist, I strongly recommend it (read my full review here); once you're done, dip into Island of Vice (on sale March 13) for a non-fiction approach.
Does anyone else do this as they read? Find connections between stories, histories, whatever the case may be? Any other books on 1890s New York that I should be eyeing for a next read?
2 comments
Not New York, no, but I definitely found myself drawing parallels when I read Clara and Mr. Tiffany (fiction, 1890's, Chicago), The Devil in the White City (nonfiction, 1890's, Chicago), and Around the World on Two Wheels (nonfiction, similar time period, around the world but yea, Chicago) all around the same time. It improved my experience of reading all three, to feel that world expanding around me. Sounds great!!
