Ascariasis is infection with the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
People get ascariasis by consuming food or drink contaminated with roundworm eggs. Ascariasis is the most common intestinal worm infection. It is related to poor personal hygiene and poor sanitation. Persons who live in places where human feces are used as fertilizer are also at risk of this disease.
Once consumed, the eggs hatch and release immature roundworms called larvae within the small intestine. Within a few days, the larvae then move through the bloodstream to the lungs. They travel up through the large airways of the lungs, and are swallowed back into the stomach and reach the small intestine.
As the larvae move through the lungs they may cause an uncommon form of pneumonia called eosinophilic pneumonia. Once they are back in the small intestine, the larvae mature into adult roundworms. Adult worms live in the small intestine where they lay eggs that are present in feces. They can live 10 – 24 months.
It is estimated that 1 billion people are infected worldwide. Ascariasis occurs in people of all ages, though children are affected more severely than adults.
Most of the time, there are no symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may include:
Bloody sputum
- Cough
- Low-grade
- Passing worms in stool
Shortness of breath
- Skin rash
Stomach pain
- Vomiting worms
- Worms exiting through the nose or mouth
Signs and tests
The infected person may show signs of malnutrition. Tests to diagnose this condition include:
Abdominal x-rayor other imaging tests
- Complete blood count
- Eosinophil count
Stool ova and parasites exam
Treatment includes medicines that paralyze or kill intestinal parasitic worms, such as albendazole or mebendazole. These medicines should not be used for pregnant patients. Pyrantel pamoate is the preferred medication for pregnant patients.
If there is a blockage of the intestine caused by a large number of worms, endoscopy may be used to remove the worms. In rare cases, surgery is needed.
Patients should be checked again in 3 months. This involves examining the stools to check for worm eggs. If eggs are present, treatment should be given again.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most people recover from symptoms of the infection, even without treatment. But they may continue to carry the worms in their body.
Complications can be caused by adult worms that move to certain organs such as the bile duct, pancreas, or appendix. If the worms multiply, they can block the intestine.
- Liver secretion (biliary tract) obstruction
- Blockage in the intestine
- Hole (perforation) in the gut
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of ascariasis, particularly if you have traveled to a high-risk area. Also call if symptoms get worse, do not improve with treatment, or if new symptoms occur.
Improved sanitation and hygiene in developing countries will reduce the risk in those areas. In areas where this disorder is common, routine or preventive (prophylactic) treatment with deworming medications may be advised.

The senator who helped give U.S. farmers Freedom to Farm is introducing legislation that would once again overturn most of the counter-cyclical payment and marketing loan provisions of the 2002 farm bill.
Vowing to bypass the Senate Agriculture Committee, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., will take alternate farm bill legislation directly to the Senate floor. Expecting no major farm bill reforms out of the committee, Lugar and co-sponsor Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., say the Farm Ranch Equity Stewardship and Health (FRESH) Act will fill the gap.
"The committee bill that's poised to pass, would increase market-distorting subsidies," said Lugar on Oct. 23, a day before the expected Senate Agriculture Committee farm bill markup. "It risks retaliation against all of our farm exports, because it perpetuates a cotton program that, repeatedly, has been found to violate world trading rules."
Lugar, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee when Freedom to Farm was included in the 1996 farm bill, believes dealing with fellow politicians on the floor rather than in committee strengthens FRESH Act's chances. Wherever FRESH is introduced, the odds of Southern legislators signing on are poor since the bill is especially unfriendly to subsidies on corn, cotton, rice, soybeans or wheat.
FRESH would massively overhaul farm subsidies that Lugar claims are unfair and assist large farmers at the expense of the whole nation's agricultural health. Instead of subsidies, the reform bill would provide a federally backed insurance program that would be free for all growers.
"For the first time, each farmer would receive expanded county-based crop insurance policies, that would cover either 85 percent of expected crop revenue or yield or 80 percent of a farm's five-year average adjusted gross revenue," said Lugar.
The savings — some estimate $16 billion — would fund, among other things, feeding and conservation programs along with biofuel research.
Not surprisingly, shortly after Lugar's announcement, a coalition of reform-minded groups lauded the alternative plan during a press conference. Statements came from government watchdogs to physicians to environmentalists.
"Environmental Defense praises … the senators for introducing legislation that offers significant reforms to crop subsidies," said Tim Male, senior scientist with Environmental Defense. "The FRESH Act invests reform savings in a better safety net that helps more farmers. Current farm subsidies help only a third of American farmers. Farm policy puts the greatest taxpayer cost into one program: direct payments, which pays farmers completely unrelated to their needs.
"In contrast, (FRESH) expands crop insurance tools to insure most farm revenues from most regional and national weather-related disasters or market drops. It provides this insurance at no cost to farmers and provides expanded insurance policies regardless of what they grow.
"Over five years, the FRESH Act offers more than $6 billion in new conservation investments. (Such) investments will help farmers who volunteer to provide cleaner water and air, improve wildlife habitat, and protect working farms.
"Currently, two out of three farmers and ranchers who offer to partner on conservation are rejected because of inadequate funding. If enacted, the FRESH Act's new investments would make a significant impact on national, regional and local environmental problems across America."
Jim Lyons, Oxfam America vice president for policy and communications, said, "It takes a great deal of leadership to see that farm policy is need of new direction and vision. It takes courage to advocate for that change.
"The farm bill is in desperate need of real reform. (Those participating) are mostly large-scale farmers. Unfortunately, of those that participate only a small percentage get most of the benefits.
"Subsidies encourage overproduction and create a glut in markets that lower prices and affect the livelihoods of family farmers in America and around the world. We conducted a study of the effects of cotton subsidies on producers in West Africa. (It was) found that cotton subsidies have a direct impact on West Africans, many of whom live on $1 per day. If (U.S.) subsidies were totally eliminated, over 1 million households in West Africa would realize the benefits.
"Americans want to see changes. We know this because we conducted a study of likely voters in the 42 freshman Democratic districts in the House. We found six of 10 likely voters in those districts, primarily rural, thought there's a need for changes in farm policy and the existing farm programs disadvantage family farmers.
"The question remains: is the Senate willing to take up the matter and demonstrate the same courage (of) Sen. Lugar and Sen. Lautenberg in moving forward with reform? All indications are that isn't likely the case. Our hope is Congress is willing to take a fresh look at farm policy."
Scott Faber, vice president for federal affairs at the Grocery Manufacturers of America and Food Products Association claimed, "There's never been a better time to craft a farm safety net that's as modern and entrepreneurial as our farmers. Farm income and land values are at record levels. And farm household income is now more than $80,000 per year, far more than most Americans.
"It's time to recognize that America's farmers haven't only joined the middle class, but the investor class. They're as comfortable with a spreadsheet as they are spreading manure.
"The FRESH Act proposes a modern safety net that will help farmers weather the ups and downs of agriculture without violating trade commitments or raising taxes."
Neil Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, asked why the United States has "epidemics of diet-related diseases and ranks, believe it or not, 38th in life expectancy? A big part of the reason is subsidized livestock feed and diary products … make greasy cheeseburgers and sausage pizza artificially cheap and especially plentiful in schools and food assistance programs.
"The American Medical Association has called for subsidies and food-assistance programs to be based on the health of constituents, not on agribusiness considerations. That means fruits, vegetables, grains and healthy vegetarian food.
"The FRESH Act is the first step towards solving (diet-related illnesses) and we're very pleased to support it for the health of all Americans."

MIDDLEBURY — The developers of a proposed water turbine at the Otter Creek Falls will soon seek permission from the Vermont Public Service Board and the town of Middlebury to put their plans into motion.
Anders Holm, whose family owns property adjacent to the falls where the turbine would be sited, explained on Thursday that high water levels in the Otter Creek this past spring and summer prevented consultants from completing a needed feasibility study for the project. But those waters have receded in recent weeks to a point where officials from the New Hampshire-based firm of Gomez and Sullivan were able to complete their review of the project site.
"They were able to get all the information they needed for the feasibility study," said Holm, a Middlebury physician. "We hope to have (the study) within a week."

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen on Sept. 5 appointed a committee to study for the second time whether the town should buy a key parcel that abuts both the Ferrisburgh Central School and the planned site of a new town office building and meeting center.
The land, owned by the Hinsdale family of Charlotte, was until recently optioned by a company that wanted to extend sewer service into the area, a plan rejected last month by selectmen at the recommendation of town planners.
The parcel includes 32 acres on which the town already owns a septic easement for the school and planned town hall, plus a smaller lot with a home on it. Now that it is back on the market, selectmen have decided to take another look at buying it. The town first discussed the idea a year ago and another committee looked at the proposal, but officials never acted on it.

Lindenwood University has announced that Dr. Tom Stephens, assistant dean of education, has been appointed to direct the Professional and School Counseling Program.
This is a reflection of the increasing number of students who are choosing to pursue the School Counseling concentration. In the past few years, the need for qualified individuals in both areas of counseling has increased dramatically.
Stephens is a former teacher, school administrator, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources in two school districts, and Superintendent of Schools. He retired as Superintendent of the Wentzville School District in June 2003.
He has been with Lindenwood full time since November 2003. Currently, he also works with other Education staff members at Lindenwood to help prepare individuals to become teachers. He is the primary contact person for the Master of Arts in Teaching program. In addition to his work in the Education and Counseling graduate programs, he directs the dual credit high school programs at the Troy R-III and Wentzville School Districts.
In 2004, he received the Emerson Teaching Award. This award is given each year to a professor who demonstrates outstanding teaching ability, dedication, and enthusiasm. His education includes a doctorate from Saint Louis University. Dr. Stephens and his wife Jackie have been residents of Lake Saint Louis since 1996.

Hi All,
Late last year, my pain management physician sent me to a Physiatrist (Rehabilitation Physician) for help with the intense pain I was experiencing in my lower back.
He sent me to the local rehabilitation hospital for what, at the outset, appeared to be a form of SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) "Boot Camp".
I was assigned a lot of exercises focused on core strength & stability (which I was sorely lacking). They also taught me how to safely & correctly use each of my assistive devices (walker, manual wheelchair, etc.). By the end, I was able to walk about 700 feet with a walker & supervision. This is a major breakthrough, since the physical therapists I worked with for 16 months following my last surgery had discharged me with the instructions that I would need to use a wheelchair for the rest of my life.
I've spent the last 20 months reorienting my life around this grim statement - sold my car & bought a wheelchair van, moved to a more accessible home, etc. Talk about being blown away!
I'm now able to walk (at least in a controlled environment)! I've also been instructed to use my manual wheelchair as much as possible to prevent further muscle atrophy and keep myself more healthy. I have been taught how to climb stairs & curbs with a walker, & how to safely transition from my manual wheelchair to my walker, bed, etc. My only disappointment is that they weren't allowed to teach me how to do wheelies or dance the salsa!!!
P.S. Obviously, I still have a lot to learn, but at least this is a start.

Take the kids back in time this summer
Last week, NHK ran a story on a "Showa Lifestyle" exhibition at a shopping center in Mito, a city two hours northeast of Tokyo. The exhibit wasn't aimed at baby-boomers — Showa refers to the historical period from 1926-1989 — but rather their children and grandchildren.
The Mito City Museum, which put on the event, set up a mock living room circa the 1960s. Here kids could experience sitting at a low table on floor cushions, turning the dials on a black-and-white TV, many of them likely for the first time. They could also see what it was like to use an old rotary phone, a foot-pedal sewing machine and even a few pairs of take-uma, bamboo stilts, a popular amusement from an era of few luxuries.
For kids weaned on mobile phones, there may be no greater novelty than the past. They can also get an inkling of how different their world is from that of previous generations.
While the Mito event has already ended, there are plenty of other places where the family can get a taste of Showa life. At this summer's Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, in rural Niigata prefecture, visitors can eat and sleep inside country homes and schoolhouses dating from the early to mid-20th century.
Many such structures outside of cities around Japan have lost their original usefulness on account of the country's aging population and lack of attractive job opportunities there for young people. Countless such sites have been lost forever; however, there is a growing trend to label them heritage buildings and turn them into museums or hands-on learning centers.

- "Well this year we put a twelve on the box"
- ―Richard Mackey to Alan Bradley

|Other information
|ENCOM Chairman (formerly)
|Edward Dillinger, Jr., Claire Atkinson
|Out of universe information
|Jeffrey Nordling
|TRON: Legacy
Richard Mackey was the chairman of the board at ENCOM in 2010.
After the disappearance of Kevin Flynn, ENCOM's Board seized control of the company from Alan Bradley, Flynn's partner. Richard Mackey took over as the new ENCOM CEO, and he and the rest of the board eliminated the idea of sharing their operating system. Richard Mackey was present at the board meeting in December 2010 for the launch of ENCOM OS-12. He stood and spoke proudly of ENCOM's achievements, brushing off Alan Bradley's enquiry into the operating system's new features with a wisecrack that they had added a number "twelve on the box". He also made a point of congratulating Edward Dillinger in a manner that deliberately neglected the achievements of ENCOM's errant CEO, Kevin Flynn.
The meeting was disrupted however, when Sam Flynn infiltrated ENCOM Tower and put a copy of the operating system on the Internet for free distribution. Mackey became aware of the intrusion when his presentation was replaced with a video clip of Sam's dog Marv, loaded into the ENCOM servers as a prank to supplement the software hijack. He was not happy about this and tried to shut it down.
Mackey was later fired from his position after Sam Flynn seized control of ENCOM later that same month, naming Bradley the new chairman of the board.

Schumacher in Mercedes-Benz F1 Car Takes On AMG Models
Before the 24-hour Nurburgring event last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on an awesome demonstration of what their Formula One car is capable of. The demo pitted Michael Schumacher in a Mercedes-Benz F1 race car against four AMG variants of the brand in a game of "catch up". The variants included were the A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series and SLS AMG GT3. On the helm of the AMG cars were Bernd Maylander, Karl Wendlinger, Nico Rosberg and Bernd Schneider, respectively. The AMGs went on different times and Schumacher started more than a minute after the last car. But near the end of the lap, the F1 car overtook the others… Continue Reading »

Bone Marrow Donor Registration at UW Thursday
A marrow donor registration will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Senate Chambers located on the second floor of the University of Wyoming Union.
Individuals who wish to join the pool of potential stem cell and bone marrow donors can do so at the event by joining the "Be the Match Registry." This registry exists for patients with diseases such as leukemia, who are in need of a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
"You will not be donating marrow at the donor registration, but rather joining the registry of potential donors," says Melissa Dozier, a UW physiology senior from Laramie. "Joining the registry provides potential donors with the opportunity to save a life. If you are a match, you will be contacted by the 'Be the Match Registry.'"
To be eligible to join, potential donors must be between the ages of 18-44 and generally in good health. Anyone 45-60 years of age must join online at www.bethematch.org with a $100 tax-deductible payment, and cannot join at the drive. Donors who already are on the registry will remain there until the age of 61 and will not be removed until then.
A consent form and health questionnaire will be completed at the time of registration, followed by a cheek swab to collect cells for initial tissue typing. Students can join at no cost, while members of the Laramie community and UW employees also are encouraged to make a donation in addition to their registration.
Gwen Van Baalen and the Alpha Epsilon Delta student organization host the event with the Colorado Marrow Donor Program, which will conduct the registration.
"Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed with diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, for which a stem cell or marrow transplant could be the only cure," Bonfils Blood Center posts on its website. "About 70 percent of these people are unable to find a donor match within their family and must search for an unrelated donor on the 'Be the Match Registry.' The chances of finding a match increase when donors are from the same ethnic background, important because the marrow donor registry works internationally."
Jaryd Unangst, a 2011 donor, described the experience as one of the proudest moments in his life, saying, "The realization that an act as simple as joining the registry could eventually save another life was inspiring."
Unangst encourages everyone to register because "there are few acts that allow one person the opportunity to definitively improve the quality of life and ameliorate the suffering of another human being."
For more information, email Dozier at email@example.com or Unangst at email@example.com.

When my girls and I watched trailers for the movie, Oz The Great And Powerful,
they fell in love with the beautiful witch, Glinda, and her magical golden crown.
This craft was perfectly timed to coincide with the release of the Blu-Ray Combo Pack!
They asked if I could make them one for playing dress-up and I knew I had the perfect material in my craft room stash for it -- cardboard coffee cup sleeves!
I always save materials that seem like they would be useful as craft supplies.
The best ones are freebies like colorful plastic lids, nifty jam jars, and in this case,
cardboard drink sleeves. Hoarding recyclables and art supplies goes back to my art teacher days.
Then, I took them outside and covered them with some Krylon Metallic Gold spray paint.
I also spray-painted one of the girls' yellow headbands.
After everything dried, I used my glue gun to attach the corrugated gold cardboard petals
to the headband to form a tiara - just layer the petal shapes.
The girls found some sparkly gems in our beads and I added those as well.
"E" (age10) thought it was pretty nifty.
She's off to explore the magical Land of Oz!
The movie is a bit intense for younger kids, I would recommend it for at least age 10+,
(I'm not letting my 6 year old watch it until she's older - those flying monkeys are scary!)
Oz The Great And Powerful will be available on Blu-Ray Combo Pack and HD Digital.

|Perl: the Markov chain saw
Re^4: A Vision for Easy Web Application Deployment for Perlby markjugg (Curate)
|on Dec 27, 2005 at 20:08 UTC ( #519405=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
This is a prime recipe for increasing the number of out-dated Perl modules installed on production machines and giving Perl a bad security rap.Having a bad security rap involves having users (so someone actually cares about your reputation), and having bad security, so there's actually a problem). To have high profile security problems with Perl web apps, we have to have the high profile web applications in the first place. Moveable Type is a high profile web app using this strategy, and I'm not aware that it is contributing to Perl having a reputation of poor security. Having watching many ChangeLogs of Perl modules go by over the years, I rarely see updates because of security vulnerabilities. Changes tend to be bugfixes, new features, and sometimes incompatible changes (which are a real problem). Security updates are rare for Perl modules. When I think of visible Perl code with poor security, I think of the original Matt Wright script archive code, before the NMS project. If users want web software that's easy to install, they will find it, whether it's through projects that bundle like Moveable Type or Dada Mail, in a simple script format, or in another language like PHP.
I'm confused, if you can auto-generate the packages you're presuming that the bundle will work with the latest version of the module. So what's the difference to installing the latest module version into a central place? The only difference I can see is a false sense of security on the part of the user who thinks "this must work because I downloaded the Bundle" and will be all the more disappointed if it breaks.Module::Build allows you to be very precise about the versions of the prerequistes you require. You can set a minimum version, a maximum version, and make exceptions as well. So an author that wants to optimize for stability that can do that, by giving precise version numbers, so a newer prereq wouldn't automatically be included in the bundle. An author could also take the approach of simply setting a minimum version of prereqs, expecting that future versions will be compatible improvement or security improvements. This kind of choice is already exists in Module::Build for module authors, so this is aspect requires no infrastructure changes.
Anything that gets made easier will be done more often.Agreed. This proposal allows people to have an additional definition of "easy". It seems your definition would involve continuing to install and upgrade Perl web apps as you do now, which you can keep doing.
I care much more about Perl getting a bad reputation for its security than I care about the convenience of amateur webmasters
I'm a professional website developer, and this is a problem for me. I maintain CGI::Application and Data::FormValidator and have used them on many projects. Both are installed in a central location on our production web server. Although I'm in charge of reviewing and releasing the code for each, at least once in each case I managed to release a version with an incompatibile change that would break other applications in production if it was deployed, although the older versions worked fine.
This wasn't about security, this was about the realistic impossibility of maintaining complete compatibility when moving a software project forward.
So even as a professional website developer, it's safer choice to deploy specific module versions in production than to use a shared version.
It sounds like Perrin, another respected professional web developer, takes the same approach with Krang, another higher profile Perl web app. I know Jesse Erlbaum, the creator of CGI::Application, is also on the record as recommending putting public modules under source control and deploying private versions of them. (It looks like someone attended a talk he gave, and summarized that point as point 10 under "Implementation").So, professional web developers are already using the approach deploying specific versions of prereqs with applications, and we know it works well for us.
I do agree that dependency handling an installation from CPAN is not as end-user friendly as it could be, but this is a very hard problem to solve correctly. I don't see any merit in auto-bundling software together for the purpose of spewing multiple versions of module all over your harddisk.
I like to think of it as several applications which have the same features and stability as when they were deployed...
Thanks for sharing your concerns with this approach. I'm sure they are shared by others, and it gave me a chance to flesh out the details and justifications some more.

Hello all,
I have a strange situation I would like to recount and get some input on.
The short version is that when I run the TAR command with -xvf as root
the extracted files show up in a directory owned by a different user and a
numerical group (500 to be exact). When I attempt to CD into the directory
the system tells me that the directory does not exist. After I chown the dir back to root and chgrp it out of 500 land, I can access the directory just fine.
I have checked the .bash_profile and disconnected the server from ldap using authconfig (this is CENTOS 4 btw) and the problem still persists... This is making me think that something is subverting commands created by root and executing them as another user... how can this be done? I was always under the impression that root is root and no one else.
If I need to post any config files or logs let me know.

Ben Barnett necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We are a mobile application development house who doesn't currently have fancy designer skills in-house.
We can do all of the coding but we need you to make our app look awesome.
The application is for Telstra business customers (Telstra is Australia's largest telco) so we need a business focused design for the graphics.
We require a number of graphics for an iPhone app. They must not be overly complicated so they shouldn't take you too long to produce.
As the iPhone application is for Telstra business customers (http://www.telstrabusiness.com/business/) the app should be consistent with this brand.
We need:
1) A splash screen. 320x480px, PNG, 72ppi, no transparency.
2) The binary icon. 57x57px, PNG, 72ppi, RGB, no transparency.
3) 4 Tab bar icons 30x30px, PNG, 72ppi, greyscale, with transparency.
These should be for the following functions:
a) My Serivces - this will be the main menu screen which will have the buttons in 4 below on it.
b) Settings - this is where the user will configure their telephony products.
c) Support - users will view support videos and read support articles.
d) My Usage - users will be able to see how much of their plan (voice and data) they will use.
4) 3 Menu buttons 150x150, PNG, 72ppi, RBG, with or without transparency. These will be used to get to b, c and d in 3 above from 3a (they will sit on the main menu).
This may seem like quite a bit of work but if we want you to us consistent themes throughout so we expect some reuse of graphics.
Of course feel free to do whatever you like that you think will win you the prize.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We will be monitoring this throughout the week (but probably not over the Australian weekend).

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Eric Gurney's Tiny Santas
Gurney, who grew up in Toronto, Ontario, not an hour from where I sit as I type this, left home in 1938 to work for Walt Disney studios in California.
Ten years later he was in New York City, represented by Lester Rossin - the same agency that also repped David Stone Martin - and this December 1948 ad for Proctor was undoubtably one of his first assignments.
Gurney, who won the 'Best in Advertising and Illustration' award from the National Cartoonists Society in 1961 and again in 1971, went on to both write and illustrate children's books which, as he says in his NCS bio, "sold in the millions."

nice stuff. I'm curious about the whole Toronto artist spawning ground. Excuse my American ignorance, but there seems to be and overabundance of talented artists illustrators and cartoonists that have come from or work there. Even today there are a lot of comic artists and illustrators there. Do artists go to Toronto for work, lifestytle etc or is it just a coincidence???ReplyDelete
That's an interesting point, Michael;ReplyDelete
I can only speculate, but I suppose its because since Canada is a huge country with a relatively small population (and therefore relatively few large urban centres) Toronto has traditionally been where those with the ambition to become illustrators or cartoonists have migrated to... the "New York of the North", I guess.
Before the internet, it was really advantageous to be close to your clients (I kept a studio in Toronto for 14 years) and most of the print media, ad agencies, and publishers traditionally had - and still have - offices in Toronto.
Toronto still attracts young hopefuls and seasoned pros because it really is the hub of most big, urban cultural activity in Canada --
Excellent find, Leif.ReplyDelete
Hi...This question is a little off topic I realize...sorry. My grandfather worked with Eric Gurney @ Eaton's in Toronto before Eric went on to Disney. I have several of his originals that my grandfather owned. Are they valuable? Thanks.ReplyDelete
Sander; I'm afraid those originals probably have more sentimental value than monetary value. You can always send some digital photos of them to an auction house for appraisal... Heritage Auctions, for instance, specializes in cartoon and illustration art. Good luck!ReplyDelete

05.14.2012 | By Karen Posada | No Comments">No Comments
'Battleship' is based on the Hasbro naval combat game, so not much is expected of it but lots of mindless explosions and shooting. The film fulfills exactly that expectation, because besides the amazing special effects there's nothing else nutritious in it. This navy propaganda movie has an extremely weak storyline, encompassing dialogue and comedy that are merely attached to try to make the film function as a whole. This movie continues the alien movie lineup to be seen this summer, I'm quite sure this will be the worst one of them all.
The Storyline revolves around Alex Hooper (Taylor Kitsch), who is basically a screw up and doesn't have many goals for himself. His older brother Stone (Alexander Skarsgård) is the complete opposite and enrolls him in the navy. After what seems a couple of years later, Alex becomes a lieutenant and during a Naval war games exercise in Hawaii his crew, which includes R&B singer Rihanna, get involved in an extraterrestrial sea battle for the Earth's survival.
The movie wastes a lot of time building a back-story, made up of romance and the brothers bonding along with an enormous amount of Navy propaganda. All pretty unnecessary and somewhat boring, that whole first 30 minutes or so could have been reduced to a five minute clip. The most outstanding thing in this movie are the spaceships, they are so real and detailed and the explosions and action they deliver are the best things this movie offers. The Halo like outfitted aliens are somewhat original and more real than most, but despite the obvious fact that they are more technologically advanced than us there's not a lot of intelligent actions on their part.
Liam Neeson once more signs up to be used as an advertisement tool by a mediocre film, given the fact that if you put all the scenes he's in total, we only see him for about ten minutes. I actually wasn't too annoyed by Rihanna, since most people such as myself have already judged the movie by her being in it; she played a tough chick without her usual eroticism in her music videos and just followed orders, her lines like the rest of the script are just flat; so not much acting was used. Kitsch and Decker are just eye candy, because nothing really intelligent comes out of their mouths. Another interesting scheme used to persuade the public into cheering for the movie is an appearance by a President of the United States, if this isn't the biggest most annoying use of propaganda, I don't know what is. The movie screams patriotism in a cheesy, in your face, "be a hero and sacrifice your life for your country" kind of way.
The storyline is so weak that it seems to contradict itself towards the end and there's never a clear reason as to what the aliens are doing in our planet. It's just an all out war and a whole lot of shooting without an explanation behind it. What's worst is there's a scene at the end of the credits that alludes to a second part. If you enjoy action for the sake of it and don't care about anything else that makes up a movie, then you can enjoy this. Otherwise, I say wait for the rest of the alien invasion arriving this summer 2012 in theaters.

FWQAL - week 8

Your blocks are really pretty. Every time I see your blocks they make me thinking closer to buying the book.ReplyDelete
They're both brilliant blocks (favorite fabrics)!ReplyDelete
I love your fussy cutting of the fish! Super cute, and great work! :DReplyDelete
Can I just tell you right now how jealous and in love with that fish block I am? I want to get some of that fabric so bad but its SO expensive if you can even find any. This block is by far my favorite FWQA block I've seen... and not just because of the fish. Its super modern and original, but also has a great traditional pattern and is simply lovely. *sigh*ReplyDelete
I just adore you fabrics! Happy and fun.ReplyDelete
I think the single wedding star block is the cutest! Love how you fussy cut the squares - just too darn cute.ReplyDelete
I was just looking at your blog last night and thinking really hard about starting this huge task. I even picked the book up at my local quilt store today, then put it back down. I am way too new to take on something like this. Maybe next year! Your blocks are amazing by the way. I love the fish :)ReplyDelete
love them! those little fishies are just too cute :DReplyDelete
Those little fish are just adorable. I love FMF although I don't own too much of it. I have not even cut into it yet.ReplyDelete
Love the fabrics you used this week for your blocks. I also decided to skip around this week and did block #80, but your little fishies are way cuter.ReplyDelete
I'm with Tiffany on this - so jealous of those little fish!! Beautiful blocks. Thank you for this fun little qal!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, I love these. Maybe my favorite of yours so far. And that is saying a lot! You are amazing!ReplyDelete

oh my GOSH!!!! You totally have stolen my heart!!! These blocks are so so so so so perfect!!! AHHHH!!! I have a feeling I'm going to want to steal your quilt!ReplyDelete
I love all your blocks. You have such great taste. I look forward to what you've done every week.ReplyDelete
Great blocks. I love your fabrics.ReplyDelete
These blocks are so cute! The Heather Ross fish rock :-)ReplyDelete
Both blocks are adorable! Love the color combos you used.ReplyDelete
A very clever use of some very special fabric. These blocks are going to rock the quilt.ReplyDelete
I love, love, love the fussy cut fish!ReplyDelete
They look amazing despite them being a "fail" for the week. We're holding you to using green next week!ReplyDelete
I love them. And the fish one has to be my favourite FWQ block I've seen posted so far (not that I have looked at everyones blocks). I think I'm going to hsve to go hunting for that fish fabric and hope it's still available :)ReplyDelete
I'm behind too - realise I haven't done any FW blocks this week yet - yours may not be green but they are lovely!ReplyDelete
I am so glad everyone helped me fixe my commenting today I have not been on twitter much and wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your craftiness the last few weeks. Your eye candy is amazing!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing Ang
I love your blocks! Yummy :)ReplyDelete
aww, i love those goldfish and your fussycuts are perfect. great blocks, as always!ReplyDelete
Okay, am I blind or just tired? I thought I left you a comment. LOVE the blocks, they are just lovely. Always! I'm so jealous of your aqua seeds- totally wishing I would have stashed a little FMF back in the day.ReplyDelete
Also, is it really week 8? Umm, I'm a little behind...
Crap. Just found my comment... I guess you get double praise on these blocks! Should probably cut my losses and go to bed.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 24, 2011 at 11:04 AM
I've been eyeing that design for the goldfish block. Love the prints you used.ReplyDelete
Love the fishies!ReplyDelete
Love your blocks! The spiderweb is one of my favorites. I made it as my second block for this my first week. So excited to join in the fun!ReplyDelete
These are super cute. When I see blocks like these, I question my decision to use shot cottons...ReplyDelete
Both blocks are lovely, but the fish with the dots are just a perfect combination.ReplyDelete

Oh no! I sure hope this does not pass.
I hope the FFRF can help sue to keep this bill from happening.
Oh please NOOOO!
After a good amount of hoopla, Texas Governor Rick Perry is expected to quietly sign legislation allowing public schools to celebrate Christmas and other winter holidays plainly and explicitly without fear of lawsuits.
The proposed law, dubbed the "Merry Christmas Bill," sailed easily through both the Texas House and Senate and now awaits the Perry's signature, reports the Dallas Observer. Vote tallies were 145-2 in the House and 29-0 in the Senate.
With Perry's signature, the law will take effect beginning in fall 2013 — roughly 120 shopping days before Christmas.

Quick! Lemme tell my pagan friends back home about it. They'll get lots of Yule and W. Solstice stuff together... It's all good until it's no longer judeo-christian. I bet there'd be some high schoolers willing to do Festivus poles, too.
A high school would be a fertile place for both Feats of Strength and Airing of Grievances!
Seriously, you're right, the Christianists might not like special rights for all religions, not just their own....
LOVE this!
I swear this state makes me crazy. This just scratches the surface of the insanity that is rampant in this blasted state.
Oh, this is really great! Perry must think that Christianity (and his brand of it) is all there is. Let this bill pass and EVERYBODY can celebrate anything at Christmas time. And they should! Anything that can possibly be celebrated December 25th should be celebrated, riding under the protection of this bill. "We have a right to celebrate this in our schools" they can say. So be it. Amen.
Next we want to bring prayer "back into our schools where it belongs." Keep in mind that it only belongs there if you are an ignorant red necked American. Only their prayers are accepted, and not all denominations. No Muslims, or "Zoe Roosters," etc. I can see little Johnny praying in school right now.
"God help me to get 100% on this test. Don't help that friggin' Tommy. Let him fail. He didn't even study."
Yes, the Rick Perry's of America do this for the votes of the fundamentalist Christian right. Let there forever be a separation of church and state.
This bill is stupid and it's going to be very hard, if not impossible, to get around. Some folks can't help themselves. For some reason they're compelled to poop where they sleep. It makes me wonder if they believe there is any correlation between the words "education", "knowledge" (as opposed to "faith", "speculation", "fate" or "divine intervention") and "school". Maybe to them schools are really facilities for socializing. Not special like churches, but just like anywhere else.
Yes, I also vote for Festivus.

PENSRUS Pens Customized Promotional Tradeshow Line with BIC
PENSRUS, a leading source for all marketing pens, advertising pens, and promotional products, has announced today the introduction of new BIC writing instruments tailored for those who take part in tradeshows and giveaways throughout the country. These special logo pens are perfect for every exhibitor's needs including, garnering attention to their booth from the public, getting their message across, and providing potential customers with a top quality imprinted pen that will be used for years.
Tradeshows often include up to thousands of exhibitors at their events, and studies show that tradeshow attendance numbers are steadily climbing. A free promotional pen is an excellent way for exhibitors who wish to not just connect with potential clients, but to stand out from the other booths at the event. Each tradeshow attendee who approaches a booth to take away free business pens provides that company with a window of opportunity to talk to them and possibly do business together.
A marketing pen is a cost-effective and efficient method for a company's team to get their name out into the public in a manner that won't break the bank. Personalized pens are often placed on the booth's display table, handed out to passing by visitors, and can be included in gift bags.
PENSRUS is proud to offer a line of affordable BIC logo pens including the BIC Round Stic, BIC Grip Roller and BIC Clic Stic. Priced as low as $0.24 per unit, these BIC pens can fit into any company's advertising budget.
Available in a multitude of colorful designs, each logo pen is completely customizable to get one's message across. Imprinting of logos and hotel information is available in up to 28 different ink colors.
PENSRUS is now offering free ground shipping on all imprinted pens, along with free setup and free imprinting.

No specialty retailers have been affected more by the emergence of online superstores than book and music shops. In addition, book and music store owners face the challenge of having to compete against the e-book and downloadable music market. Many are forced to rethink their business strategy to meet growing consumer needs for books and music files that can be accessed from a laptop or mobile device.
To differentiate themselves from Internet retailers, book businesses are becoming shopping destinations instead of just stores. For example, many have started to offer an expanded selection of non-core items, such as coffee and food.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Bookstore Software?
Common Features of Bookstore POS and Inventory Software
Benefits of Bookstore POS and Inventory Software
Deployment Options
There are thousands of retail point of sale (POS) software vendors on the market to help book and music retailers with the most critical aspects of their business, such as inventory and pricing. Systems exist for large organizations with several locations, small "mom and pop" stores, and everything in between. The goal of this buyer's guide is to help book and music retailers find the right POS software to meet their needs in this evolving market.
Book inventory software and POS are the key modules for book stores and music shop software. Book and music store inventories typically contain just a few duplicates of a large number of items, and special orders are common. Books and magazines are usually identified with a number in the form of a bar code, called the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) respectively. CDs (and albums, cassettes and 45s produced after the 1970s) have Universal Product Codes (UPCs).
Many shops also have customer service and loyalty programs built into their business strategy, so customer relationship management (CRM) is another important aspect of software solutions as music and book stores are embracing social media to attract and maintain customers.
Ideally, systems should support both traditional stores and online sales, "bricks and clicks" operations. And, if stores buy product from customers to resell, the POS and accounts payable features need to integrate for the payments to be processed properly.
Book and music retailers should consider the following functions to meet their unique requirements:
|Online inventory
|A book or music store should have access to an online inventory system for the latest books and special orders.
|ISBN and ISSN lookup
|The system should be able to look up the ISBN or ISSN for any book or magazine. The information, such as title, publisher and publication date, can be imported into the bookstore inventory software.
|Non-book/non-music items
|The system should support the sale of non-book/non-music items such as beverages, snacks and toys.
|UPC lookup
|Access to a UPC library for CDs and other inventory is critical. The system should be able to populate the inventory system with stock numbers and descriptions from the UPC library.
|Online store
|The system should support online sales of items through a Web storefront. If there are both an online store and a physical store, there should be an option to share the inventory between them or to keep the inventories separate.
|Promotional pricing
|The system should allow sale and promotional pricing. The pricing should change in the POS and inventory automatically at a specified time and date, if desired.
|Customer loyalty program
|As part of CRM and to further solidify customer relations, many music and book stores have customer loyalty programs. The store system should track sales history and monitor loyalty program points awarded and redeemed.
|Spoilage reporting
|If the store sell perishable goods; the "sell by" dates must be tracked, expired inventory must be collected and disposed of and the process properly documented.
|Gift set packaging
|One of the key promotions for book and music stores are gift sets. The POS system must support gift set sales for a single price but correctly decrease inventory levels for the individual items when a gift set is sold.
|Book/music buying
|If the store buys used books or music for resale, the system should have access to an online database to help determine the price. The POS should support the buying process and handle the transaction correctly through accounts payable and general ledger.
|Online music and e-book sales
|If there is an online store, it should be able to sell music downloads and e-books in popular formats. Online bookstore software should handle the digital rights management (DRM) and royalties.
|Online storefront integration
|Many bookstore owners will sell through other online mediums, such as Amazon, Biblio, AbeBooks and others. The system should be able to integrate with these online storefronts.
|Query-based lists
|Users should be able to create lists and sublists of inventory based on keywords. A very helpful feature for both store owners and customers.
|Customizable fields
|The system should allow users to create new fields, customize the length of these fields and vary the type of information included.
One should be able to see the operational and experiential benefits provided by the adoption of bookstore POS software. The three top benefits of the software include:
Most book stores use on-premise systems. In fact, paper-based systems are still used by some. However, software as a service (SaaS) systems are available and provide an attractive alternative for book stores and music shops that are upgrading or replacing current systems.
Most SaaS, or Web-based, applications are hosted on the vendor's servers and paid for by monthly subscription. This deployment option is ideal for buyers who prefer lower monthly payments over a costly upfront investment.
A final benefit of SaaS software is increased accessibility. Users can access these systems from any device with an Internet connection and from Mac or PC operating systems.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

I acknowledge Mineweb for this news: "World's first yuan-denominated gold ETF makes weak HKSE debut".
To trade forex, gold, commodities, the stock market, and futures you need to be aware of how international strategic motivations affect market sentiment. Prices are driven by "groupthink" perceptions of the unknowable future. News is incomplete or manipulated. We try here to penetrate beneath the spin to understand how strategic interests, international politics, and strategic mistakes affect future sentiment, to forecast price trends.
