PHP-CSL : Code Snippet Library
PHP-CSL is an online application written in PHP which enables authorised users to store and categorise code snippets. It is released as Open Source, and available to download at sourceforge.
PHP-CSL was first developed around 6 years ago. It had several rewrites and feature changes over the course of 3.5 years. At this time, no further development is planned. PHP-CSL was written before PHP5 existed, some configuration tweeks may be required in order run it with PHP5!!
Snippet Manager
The original developer of PHP-CSL has recently written a new Snippet Management program. This time it's a desktop application built using Adobe Air (with Flex).
Snippet Manager provides similar functionality to PHP-CSL, but runs 100% locally and is intended as a tool to aid developers (the original intention of php-csl).

A man convicted of second-degree murder in the death of his pregnant girlfriend and their unborn child will spend 40 years to life in prison.
Ruben Cepeda, 22, was sentenced Friday at the North County Regional Center in Vista located in Southern California.
In an emotional sentencing, both sides and the judge acknowledged that Cepeda did not intend to harm his pregnant 18-year-old girlfriend, Viridiana Rodriguez, when he fatally shot her in the stomach on April 7, 2012 inside their Escondido apartment.
U.S. & World
"I did lose my son; something I always wanted," Cepeda said in court. "I just want to say it was an accident."
Cepeda went on to apologize in court, adding that there was no reason for him to have a gun in the first place.
But, while both sides acknowledged there was no malice in the philosophical sense in this case, a deputy district attorney explained there was legal malice, which is why Cepeda was convicted on two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Rodriguez and their unborn baby.
"Whether accidentally or intentionally, law rightfully holds you accountable for that person's life, even if you hadn't intended to kill that person," said Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe.
By the time police arrived at the scene of the fatal shooting on April 7, 2012, Cepeda had fled.
Officers discovered Rodriguez inside her apartment, suffering from a gunshot wound to the stomach. She was transported to a hospital, but the young mother-to-be and her unborn baby were pronounced dead about an hour later.
Rodriguez was nearly five months pregnant at the time, and was expecting a baby boy.
Cepeda was eventually captured by authorities in Mexico in June 2012. He had been sought by officials for two months on a $1 million arrest warrant in connection with the double-homicide.
At a preliminary hearing in June 2012, prosecutors said Cepeda claimed the shooting was accident. However, evidence showed the barrel of the gun was pressed directly against the victim's stomach.
In an April 2012 interview, Yemely told NBC 7 that the couple was excited, hugging and kissing before the shooting. Yemely later heard a gunshot go off inside the apartment and found her critically wounded sister.
Yemely said that when she found her sister, Cepeda was holding Rodriguez's stomach. He told Yemely to call 911 and then left the apartment with a friend.
Prosecutors said Cepeda's friend, Jesse Lopez, wrapped the gun in a T-shirt before they fled the scene. Lopez was later arrested on charges of being an accessory to the double-murder.
In court on Friday, Cepeda received two 15 to life sentences, which he will serve concurrently. But, because he committed a prior felony before the shooting, that sentence is doubled to 30 to life under the California three strikes law.
State law also adds 10 years for a "gun allegation," bringing the total sentence to 40 years to life. Cepeda will be eligible for parole after 38.5 years. Of course, the defense can and may appeal this case.

Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
Context and Practice of Translation 1B (English into LOTE) Arabic
Course Description
This course aims to provide students with skills and knowledge in written transfer, the primary competency of the Professional Translator, and the ability to consistently apply relevant theoretical frameworks and contextual knowledge required for particular assignments.
National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria
National Element Code & Title:
VBN930 Context and Practice of Translation 2B (LOTE into English) Arabic
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module you will be able to:
- Translate passages that embody a reasonable level of linguistic and conceptual difficulty from LOTE into English, exhibiting appropriate use of transfer skills and achieving acceptable meaning-based renderings.
- Examine in depth a range of institutional and professional contexts in which interpreting and translating take place as professional activities, and apply related concepts and vocabulary within more complex translation practice.
- Research Australia's and the LOTE-speaking country's institutional and professional contexts that arise in a substantial translation text.
- Collaborate in developing acceptable equivalences (in English or the LOTE as applicable) for terminology relating to these contexts.
- Apply a variety of techniques for translating words and terms that are difficult to transfer due to cultural factors.
- Provide a comprehensive rationale for each equivalence.
Details of Learning Activities
In small groups you will develop the skills and knowledge to perform complex translation tasks. In particular, the instruction will aim to assist you to:
- Undertake translation tasks from the LOTE into English, involving a range of ancillary skills as incorporated into aspects of textual analysis: context, idiom, collocation, register, stylistics, etc.
- Use monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, glossaries, thesauri and other appropriate databases used by professional translators in an appropriate manner.
- Compile monolingual and bilingual glossaries and databases in line with Australian and international professional practices.
- Develop appropriate translation techniques, such as transference, cultural equivalence, functional equivalence, transposition and ability to evaluate the merits and demerits of such techniques.
- Link translation practice to the theoretical frameworks studied in Theoretical Bases of Interpreting & Translating, and to the ethical, professional and role aspects studied in Ethics and Professional Practice of Interpreting & Translating.
- Understand and apply the meaning-based approach to translation.
- Produce highly accurate translations containing no major errors, particularly those that extend beyond the word / phrase level and lead a student into making subsequent significant errors of cause / effect, etc.
- Produce complete translations (no 'censoring', summarising or providing extraneous information).
- Make appropriate choice of vocabulary, particularly medium- and high-frequency vocabulary.
- Ensure correct spelling, punctuation and capitalisation, and where applicable, correct formation of script or ideographs.
- Choose appropriate register.
- Transfer lines of cohesion (causes and effects, and inter-relationships between elements) and maintain the logical order of the original argument.
- Demonstrate proficiency in grammar of both languages and general absence of systemic grammar errors that permeate the entire translation (eg in English, consistently choosing inappropriate tenses, singular/plural, articles, etc).
- Recognise and understand idioms in the source language and apply appropriate strategies to translate idioms.
- Avoid non-idiomatic language, particularly where it would impede understanding of the target text.
- Avoid collocational errors, including use of inappropriate collocations from the source language (eg when translating into English, choosing the source-language collocation 'hard money' in¬stead of the English word 'coins').
- Deal proficiently with problems at and above the word level in the source text.
- Proofread to eliminate errors such as missed words or phrases.
- Use translator's notes appropriately (i.e. neither under-used nor over-used, and clearly identified as translator's notes in one of the commonly accepted ways).
- Use available resources, including the Internet, to research contextual issues relevant to translation projects.
You will also need to devote 2 hours per week of your own time on assignments / tasks allocated by your teacher and bring them back to class for discussion and feedback.

Other Information
What do I do if I need help in this course?
You are advised to contact your teacher as soon as any difficulties arise. The Course Coordinator is available for academic advice and support. Once the issue has been identified, the Course Coordinator, in consultation with your teacher and yourself, will put in place an individual study plan. This might include supplementary assessment, consultation during the conduct of assessment or granting an extension. Where these measures are inadequate, the Course Coordinator may refer you to University student support services such as student counselling or the Learning Skills Unit.
How can I have my relevant previous study or work/life experience assessed as a way of gaining credit in this course?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) means recognition of competencies currently held, regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred. This includes any combination of formal or informal training and education, work experience or general life experience.
For RPL to be granted, the applicant must provide evidence that he/she:
• has attained the competencies described in the modules that are being claimed
• possess current competency in the modules that are being claimed, including underpinning skills and knowledge
• has applied the relevant modules in a context that is applicable to this qualification.
Contact the Course Coordinator for further advice about applying for RPL and suitable evidence requirements.
What are my responsibilities in undertaking this course?
All students are expected to attend classes regularly and complete all set learning and assessment tasks. You are encouraged to seek support in relation to any difficulties you may have at the program level via the Course Coordinator. Students are expected to act as professionals in the learning environment, a critical capability expected of graduates in their employment.
Special Consideration
You may apply for Special Consideration by using the RMIT Application Form for Special Consideration, which is available from RMIT website. The application, with relevant documentation, must be lodged with the Student Hub prior to or within 48 hours of the commencement of the assessment task in question. Applications for special consideration are considered by the expert panel convened by the Academic Registrar (or nominee).
You are reminded that cheating, whether by fabrication, falsification of data, or plagiarism, is an offence subject to University disciplinary procedures. Plagiarism in oral, written or visual presentations is the presentation of the work, idea, or creation of another person, without appropriate referencing as though it is one's own. Plagiarism is not acceptable. The use of another person's work or ideas must be acknowledged. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic misconduct, which carry a range of penalties including cancellation of result and exclusion from your course.
You are responsible for ensuring that your work is kept in a secure place. It is also a disciplinary offence for you to allow their work to be plagiarised by another student. You should be aware of their rights and responsibilities regarding the use of copyright material.
How can I let my teacher know about my experience of this course?
You may discuss this with your teacher at a mutually convenient time. The Shool distributes confidential course assessment forms at the end of each semester for students to complete. These are analysed and action is taken to remedy defects in teaching or course administration as required. The College also conducts student experience and satisfaction surveys during the semester.

Tigers Open SECU Arena With Exhibition Victory
Benimon, Burwell combine for 34 points as Towson pulls away for 86-65 win
TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University men's basketball team played its first game in the brand new SECU Arena on Thursday night, downing Bloomsburg (Pa.) University, 86-65, in the first of two exhibition games for the Tigers.
The senior duo of Mike Burwell and Jerrelle Benimon led the way for the Towson, combining for 34 points and 13 rebounds. Twelve different Tigers saw action in the exhibition, with nine scoring at least three points.
After a close first half, Towson stepped up its defensive efforts in the final 20 minutes. The Tigers limited Bloomsburg to just six field goals on 24 percent shooting in the final stanza. Towson also took advantage of a dominant effort from the free throw line, making 38 of 53 from the charity stripe, including 14-for-18 shooting from Benimon.
Sophomore Jerome Hairston was also in double figures for the Tigers with 11 points to go along with a team-high tying three assists. In his first action in a Towson uniform, sophomore transfer Four McGlynn tallied nine points, including a three-pointer and four-for-four shooting from the free throw line.
Led by Dontahe Jordan and Jon Riles, Bloomsburg opened the game hitting seven of its first 14 field goal attempts and raced out to an early 18-8 lead. Towson methodically clawed its way back into the game, going on an 18-5 run over a span of 7:27 to take a 26-23 lead that was punctuated by freshman John Davis' dunk with 5:25 to play in the opening half. However, the Tigers would trail 40-39 at the intermission.
In the second half, Towson took control for good. The home team recaptured the lead at 49-48 on freshman forward Walter Foster's block and transition dunk on the other end of the floor. That sequence sparked a 20-7 Tigers run and Towson led 69-55 with just under eight minutes to play. The Tigers would lead by as many as 26 in the second half.
For the game, Towson shot 40.7 percent (22-of54) and held a 51-31 rebounding advantage. The Tigers also forced 22 turnovers and scored 28 points off those miscues.
Burwell finished with a game-high 20 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Senior Marcus Damas chipped in nine points, while classmate Rafriel Guthrie added eight points and a team-high tying seven rebounds.
Bloomsburg was led by Riles' 16 points, including 4-for-5 shooting from three-point range.
The Tigers wrap up their exhibition schedule next Wednesday at home against Mansfield. Tip time is set for 7:30 p.m. from SECU Arena.

Circular reasoning
Circular reasoning is a type of logical fallacy in which the "proof" of a statement ultimately depends on assuming the truth of the statement itself. It may also be called circular logic or a circular argument.
A very common example in the area of religion is the following argument from scripture:
- We know that God exists because the Bible says so.
- We know that Bible is correct because it is the inspired word of God.
In other words:
- Bible implies God implies Bible
which reduces to:
Neither the assertion that "God exists" nor that "the Bible is correct" have been independently proved without relying on the assumption of the other.
Presuppositional Apologist Argument[edit]
- Main Article: Presuppositional apologetics
Presuppositional apologists (primarily from the reformed school of theology) argue that circular reasoning is acceptable and necessary within a world-view and that circular reasoning is only un-acceptable when it presents a self-contradiction.
This is demonstrated by showing that the scientific worldview has certain assumptions about the universe and that those assumptions are based on observation but then observation is explained in terms of laws, which are themselves assumptions about the universe. This is, of course, acceptable because it is consistent in and of itself and because the scientist does not claim that the conclusion validates the assumption, only that it is consistent with it.
However, for this argument to be valid, the observer must consider the assumptions inviolable. A basic tenet of science is that NO assumption can be considered inviolable, including the scientific method itself. They basic tenants of science may be themselves questioned but that does not automatically refute them - and their uncertainty is acknowledged by all scientific knowledge being tentative. Thousands of years ago, scientists assumed the sky, sun, stars, and moon all revolved around the earth, and developed "laws" (more properly called "theories") to explain this. Utilizing a circular thought process, scientists would be forced to incorporate their ideas within these geocentric theories. Utilizing a traditional scientific process, the scientist is permitted to completely reject these assumptions, and develop and test new hypotheses to explain the observations.
- "[...]all claims for absolute authority have such authority built in, or they could not be sustained. For example, those who believe that human reason is the ultimate authority must look to human reason as the basis for claiming this to be the case.[1]"
Circular argumentation can be avoided by accepting a-priorism, psychologism, infinite regress or some mixture of them (see the Münchhausen trilemma).

Jonny Smith – #Petrolheads
Motoring journalist Jonny Smith is completely hopelessly obsessed with cars. And he's been lucky enough to turn that obsession into a career.
From scouring scrap yards and tinkering with cars as a kid, he landed a job writing for the infamous magazine Max Power, when it and the car culture it celebrated were at their absolute height. Then he picked up what must surely be the dream job of every petrolhead, presenting Channel 5 car show Fifth Gear. His first film about running an old Mercedes diesel on used chip fat set the tone for Jonny's work on the show, shining a light on lesser-known parts of the motoring world. Jonny still presents Fifth Gear – now shown on History – alongside Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson, and has branched out with other shows alongside great mate Tom Ford. He remains an inveterate car collector and recently built the Flux Capacitor, an Enfield invalid carriage that's now Europe fastest electric car. Only Motors caught up with Jonny to talk about a life spent roaming Planet Car.

Drake is not exactly happy with his record label and he took to Twitter to express that.
The singer sent out a tweet criticizing Universal Records' order to remove two of his songs—"Trust Issues" and "Marvin's Room"—from his blog and other Web sites, Billboard.com reported.
"Universal needs to stop taking my f------ songs down. I am doing this for the people not for your label," he wrote.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Universal Records had not responded to Billboard's query for a comment.
The original versions of the songs have been removed from Drake's blog, according to the Billboard story, but 'chopped-up not slopped up' versions of "Trust Issues" and "Marvin's Room" are available there as streams.
In related news, Drake will be releasing his new album, "Take Care," on Oct. 24. He will be embarking on his "Light Dreams and Nightmares" tour starting on Sept. 20 in Miami.

Alejandro De Aza drove in Jordan Danks with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, sending the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
Jesse Crain got through a shaky eighth inning for the White Sox, putting a runner on third with one out and then leaving him there. Addison Reed handled a perfect ninth for his 21st save.
Dayan Viciedo led off the ninth with a single off Aaron Crow, and Jeff Keppinger drew a walk to reach base for the fourth time. Royals manager Ned Yost brought in closer Greg Holland, and he got pinch-hitter Gordon Beckham to fly out to center field.
Chicago Baseball
That allowed Danks, who was pinch-running for Viciedo, to reach third base. De Aza's hard-hit ball to right was just deep enough to allow Danks to slide home ahead of the throw.

Example: A Byte's Brief Journey Through the Memory Hierarchy
For the sake of example, let's say the CPU issues a LOAD instruction that tells the memory subsystem to load a piece of data (in this case, a single byte) into one of its registers. First, the request goes out to the L1 cache, which is checked to see if it contains the requested data. If the L1 cache does not contain the data and therefore cannot fulfill the request--a situation called a cache miss--then the request propagates down to the L2 cache. If the L2 cache does not contain the desired byte, then the request begins the relatively long trip out to main memory. If main memory doesn't contain the data, then we're in big trouble, because then it has to be paged in from the hard disk, an act which can take a relative eternity in CPU time.
Let's assume that the requested byte is found in main memory. Once located, the byte is copied from main memory, along with a bunch of its neighboring bytes in the form of a cache block or cache line, into the L2 and L1 caches. When the CPU requests this same byte again it will be waiting for it there in the L1 cache, a situation called a cache hit.
Computer architects usually divide misses up into three different types depending on the situation that brought about the miss. I'll introduce these three types of misses at appropriate points over the course of the article, but I can talk about the first one right now. A compulsory miss is a cache miss that occurs because the desired data was never in the cache and therefore must be paged in for the first time in a program's execution. It's called a "compulsory" miss because, barring the use of certain specialized tricks like data prefetching, it's the one type of miss that just can't be avoided. All cached data must be brought into the cache for the very first time at some point, and the occasion for doing so is normally a compulsory miss.
The two other types of misses are misses that result when the CPU requests data that was previously in the cache but has been evicted for some reason or other. We'll discuss evictions later.
How different applications use the cache
There's one very simple principle that's basic to how caches work: locality of reference. We generally find it useful to talk about two types of locality of reference: spatial locality and temporal locality. Spatial locality is a fancy way of labeling the general rule that if the CPU needs an item from memory at any given moment, it's likely to need its neighbors, next. Temporal locality is the name we give to the general rule that if an item in memory was accessed once, it's likely to be accessed again in the near future. Depending on the type of application, both code and data streams can exhibit spatial and temporal locality.
Spatial locality
The concept of locality of reference is probably easy enough to understand without much explanation, but just in case it's not immediately clear let's take a moment to look closer. Spatial locality is the easiest type of locality to understand, because most of us have used media applications like mp3 players, DVD players, and other types of apps whose datasets consist of large, ordered files. Consider an MP3 file, which has a bunch of blocks of data that are consumed by the processor in sequence from the file's beginning to its end. If the CPU is running Winamp and it has just requested second 1:23 of a 5 minute MP3, then you can be reasonably certain that next it's going to want seconds 1:24, 1:25, and so on. This is the same with a DVD file, and with many other types of media files like images, Autocad drawings, and Quake levels. All of these applications operate on large arrays of sequentially ordered data that gets ground through in sequence by the CPU again and again.
In the picture above, the red cells are related chunks of data in the memory array. This picture shows a program with fairly good spatial locality, since the red cells are clumped closely together. In an application with poor spatial locality, the red cells would be randomly distributed among the unrelated blue cells.

Farmer nabs alleged cattle rustler at local auction
If you thought cattle rustling had been relegated to the dustbins of Old West history along with wagontrains and gunfights at the O.K. Corral, think again. On Friday, a Mount Sidney farmer was missing five of his Hereford head, so, on a hunch, he went to a cattle auction at the Staunton Union Stockyard later that day, to see if he recognized any of the bovines up for bid. According to the Staunton News Leader, it was here he allegedly found his neighbor David Fitzgerald of Fort Defiance trying to sell the looted livestock. Augusta County sherriffs charged Fitzgerald with grand larceny and he is now free on a personal recognizance bond.

How fashion inspires us is an interesting thing. We use it in all facets of our life. Colors we see throughout the season inspire so many subconscious choices we make that year. When I caught up with Peter Pincus he told me he recently found an immense amount of inspiration in the fashion image above and what transpired? The beautiful work below. This well designed tea bowl has barely cooled from its last fire and is already off to a show.
The hue you see between the soft grey and black tones is between a mint and pale blue, which Pincus discovered as his eye mixed the pattern of the fashion image.

Early Promise of Solomon's Reign.* 1a Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He married the daughter of Pharaoh and brought her to the City of David, until he should finish building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall around Jerusalem. 2The people were sacrificing on the high places, however, for up to that time no house had been built for the name of the LORD. 3Although Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father, he offered sacrifice and burned incense on the high places.
4The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, because that was the great high place. Upon its altar Solomon sacrificed a thousand burnt offerings. 5In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night. God said: Whatever you ask I shall give you. 6Solomon answered: "You have shown great kindness to your servant, David my father, because he walked before you with fidelity, justice, and an upright heart; and you have continued this great kindness toward him today, giving him a son to sit upon his throne. 7Now, LORD, my God, you have made me, your servant, king to succeed David my father; but I am a mere youth, not knowing at all how to act— 8I, your servant, among the people you have chosen, a people so vast that it cannot be numbered or counted. 9Give your servant, therefore, a listening heart to judge your people and to distinguish between good and evil. For who is able to give judgment for this vast people of yours?"
10The Lord was pleased by Solomon's request. 11So God said to him: Because you asked for this—you did not ask for a long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies—but you asked for discernment to know what is right— 12I now do as you request. I give you a heart so wise and discerning that there has never been anyone like you until now, nor after you will there be anyone to equal you. 13b In addition, I give you what you have not asked for: I give you such riches and glory that among kings there will be no one like you all your days. 14And if you walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and commandments, as David your father did, I will give you a long life. 15Solomon awoke; it was a dream! He went to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, sacrificed burnt offerings and communion offerings, and gave a feast for all his servants.
Solomon's Listening Heart.* 16Later, two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17One woman said: "By your leave, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth in the house while she was present. 18On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. We were alone; no one else was in the house with us; only the two of us were in the house. 19This woman's son died during the night when she lay on top of him. 20So in the middle of the night she got up and took my son from my side, as your servant was sleeping. Then she laid him in her bosom and laid her dead son in my bosom. 21I rose in the morning to nurse my son, and he was dead! But when I examined him in the morning light, I saw it was not the son I had borne." 22The other woman answered, "No! The living one is my son, the dead one is yours." But the first kept saying, "No! the dead one is your son, the living one is mine!" Thus they argued before the king. 23Then the king said: "One woman claims, 'This, the living one, is my son, the dead one is yours.' The other answers, 'No! The dead one is your son, the living one is mine.'" 24The king continued, "Get me a sword." When they brought the sword before the king, 25he said, "Cut the living child in two, and give half to one woman and half to the other." 26* The woman whose son was alive, because she was stirred with compassion for her son, said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby—do not kill it!" But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours. Cut it in two!" 27The king then answered, "Give her the living baby! Do not kill it! She is the mother." 28When all Israel heard the judgment the king had given, they were in awe of him, because they saw that the king had in him the wisdom of God for giving right judgment.
* [3:1–15] The third major unit of the Solomon story depicts the bright beginning of his reign. It includes the narrator's remarks about Solomon's marriage and his building projects, and a divine appearance to Solomon. Compare 11:1–13, where the same themes recur, but in negative fashion. The story of the divine appearance is told also in 2 Chr 1:1–13.
* [3:16–5:14] The fourth major unit of the Solomon story shows how Solomon used the three gifts that the Lord gave him in 3:12–13: a listening heart (3:16–28), riches (4:1–5:8), universal renown (5:9–14). In each case his gifts benefited the populace, from the lowest classes (3:16–28) to his whole people (4:20; 5:5) to the whole world (5:9–14). Compare 9:26–10:29, where the same three gifts all redound to the benefit of Solomon himself.
* [3:26–27] The true mother reveals herself by an uncommon and tender word for the child, "baby." With this, and the woman's willingness to give up her child, Solomon realizes that she is the true mother, and quotes her words exactly in rendering his judgment.

Robinson Crusoe
Today I started reading Christ the Eternal Tao which thus far is very interesting. It is a good example of how Orthodoxy doesn't seek to destroy a culture, but to grow from what is good within a culture. And of course I probably should have read this awhile ago considering my avatar here!
I'd read it if there was a Reader's Digest condensed version. I've heard it is overly verbose, but nonetheless an excellent book.
The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice
Ebor,Oroonoko....that's the one that is structured largely like a romance right? between an African princess and prince, iirc? i read it 2 summers ago i think...there was something troubling about the ending though, i cant clearly recall what. sparked lots of discussion in class. let me know your thoughts on it when you finish?

This story was published July 7, 2013.
LAC-MÉGANTIC — They are haunted by the friends they couldn't save, by the memory of people who are missing and might never be found.
Two days after the worst night in the history of this pretty lakeside community 216 kilometres east of Montreal, shock and grief have begun to morph into anger at the bizarre and still unexplained rail accident that vaporized much of the downtown core.
At least five people are dead and scores more missing after an unmanned freight train owned by the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway hauling crude oil uncoupled and skidded off the tracks, setting off scores of explosions and sending late night partiers and residents running for their lives.
Many of those caught in the firestorm — exactly how many still isn't known — weren't so lucky. Police said roughly 40 people have been reported missing, but admitted that number could easily climb or fall once investigators have a chance to speak with relatives of the missing and take a closer look at the smouldering ruins.
"It's a catastrophe," said Health Minister Réjean Hébert, noting that only three or four people were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries before being released from hospital. "It's a black and white situation." People either got away, or they didn't. There was no in-between.
The row of shops, cafés and bistros on lower Laval St. sloping down toward Parc des Vétérans and the lakefront are gone. So is the notary's office, a hairdressing salon, the library and the Anglican church, the old fire hall. So is one of the town's two funeral homes.
Meanwhile, some of that oil spilled into Lac Méganic, casting a bright yellow sheen as it flowed down a small waterfall into the Chaudière River. On Sunday, Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche said the water supply was not at risk but advised residents to continue to boil water for five minutes before drinking it as a precautionary measure.
As Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Premier Pauline Marois, New Democratic Party Leader Thomas Mulcair took turns visiting the town to offer condolences and call for a thorough investigation, people from Lac-Mégantic and surrounding villages offered their own kind of support, arriving at the high school with car trunks brimming with goodwill in the form of food, diapers, toys for toddlers and even winter parkas.
But survivors of the derailment were in no mood for political rhetoric.
The first thing you notice about the people huddled on the grass outside the high school — which now serves as a makeshift shelter for people who have lost their homes — or standing in line awaiting permission to go home to get fresh clothes or pick up a beloved pet is their sad eyes and glazed expressions.
At the Mazda dealership across the street, a growing line of frail, weary looking people hug the wall as two Sûreté du Québec officers strike a fine line between kindness and exasperation.
"Medication on the left, animals on the right," Constable M.P. Paquette tells them for the third time. "Please, be patient." Wait your turn, and Paquette promises, someone will be along to help them return to their homes to get essential prescriptions or rescue the pets they left behind.
Provided their home is still there.
Just below the surface, there's frustration, anxiety and rage at the events that transformed their community in a matter of minutes on a beautiful summer night.
It was just after 1 a.m., the end of a sultry Friday in July. Most people had turned in for the night, but there were still scores of people on the terrasses of the three restaurants and bars on the part of main street that slopes down to Parc des Véterans and the waterfront.
At the Musi-Café on Laval St., Gilles Fluet figured it was time to push off. He estimates there were still about 40 people inside when he waved goodbye to his pals. Three minutes later, he had just had time to cross the train tracks when he saw and heard the oncoming train as it careered off the tracks, which run behind the café and adjoining buildings.
"We ran when we saw it was the oil cars," Fluet said of the chaotic scramble to get away as the wagons sliced through electrical lines and the oil cars flipped on their side, spraying the buildings nearby.
"Anyone who was in that area who was inside the building had very little chance to get out," said Fluet, who knew pretty much everyone in the bar that night. Now he talks about them in the past tense.
"There was no way they could get out."
Bernard Thiberge normally works as a cook at the Musi-Café, a popular nightspot where people gather to listen to live bands or sit on the outdoor terrasse.
But he's been recovering from an accident. So early Saturday morning, Thiberge, 44, was just hanging out, enjoying the sound of a regular duo when the runaway train tore through the heart of this pretty community on the shore of Lac Mégantic, vaporizing everything in its wake.
"We heard a big noise and we see the train come very fast," Thiberge said. He remembers how the ground was vibrating, how he'd never imagined a train coming through town so fast.
"When it fell over, there were these big explosions. Everyone on the terrace was running to escape. There was a big wall of fire on each side of the street."
Thiberge, who lives a few kilometres outside of town, suffered second-degree burns on his right arm as he paused while reaching for his bicycle.
"I stayed there a few seconds because I knew people inside and I could do nothing because it was too hot. We could not return inside to save them.
"It was happening very fast, maybe 15, 20 seconds."
Thiberge thinks there may have been as many as 60 or 70 people inside the bar, with only those close to the doors standing any chance of getting out.
"It is difficult to remember that. We just have to understand that some people are dead, so many people, we don't have an answer."
Thiberge said he was used to the train tracks being there and never really worried about the fact that trains carrying toxic materials routinely travelled through the centre of town.
Carole Cyr, who moved to neighbouring Nantes from Longueuil last year, said she was always troubled by the length of the trains that passed through the centre of Lac-Méganic. And the kind of cargo they carried. "I couldn't believe it didn't bother people."
Cyr said she was just drifting off to sleep around 11:30 on Friday night when she heard sirens from fire engines, but she didn't get up to see what was happening. She said it wasn't until the following morning, when she received a phone call from her sister in Montreal asking if she was all right that she learned about the tragedy in Lac-Mégantic — and an earlier fire involving the same train a few hundred yards away from her house in Nantes.
The cause of that fire — and the fact that the train's engineer had left the train on the track unmanned at the end of his shift — are just two of the mysteries yet to be answered.
In an interview with The Gazette Sunday night, Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway executive Yves Bourdon said the employee had in fact returned to the train as firefighters were putting out the fire, which was possibly caused by a ruptured diesel fuel line. He could not say what verifications were done after the fire was out.
In a statement issued earlier last night, the MMA said the locomotive of the oil train appears to have been shut down after the engineer on duty from Farnham to Nantes left the train and that this "may have resulted in the release of air brakes on the locomotive that was holding the train in place." It's unclear, however, how this could have happened.
Cyr said she can't help wonder whether vandals — such as the graffiti taggers so often out late at night putting their mark on the railway cars — might have tampered with the train or at least have seen something that could help explain how the derailment occurred.

A Belated Father's Day Note
Ever get the feeling that maybe you've started to neglect honoring the ones you love? Just me? I've been battling a nagging feeling for several months now that I have let down my people. Well, I can call it a naggling feeling or I can call it conviction, which is probably closer to the truth.
We've never been strong on celebrations. I'd rather stab my eyes out than host a birthday party complete with pinterest-worthy decorations and crafts. Our parenting philosophy errs strongly on the side of simple not extravagant, and I stand by that. But 20 years of low-key marriage/parenting has disintegrated into a half-heartedly written card (or not), maybe tossing a little gift (certainly with no wrapping) into the lap of whoever's day it is. And I think maybe the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction.
I want Brian to feel like the most honored dad in the world on Father's Day. I want the kids to feel they are the most special 10 and 13 year old in my world. While it's not realistic to live every day with cake, presents, love notes and celebrations, it is possible to memorialize birthdays, anniversaries and even on the dreaded manufactured holidays like Valentine's day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day in a significant, heart-felt way.
So Brian and I are turning over a new leaf in this celebrating thing. We'll continue to be the practical parent and wife/husband every other day, but we're going to be the silly, celebratory parent on special days.
I didn't even take a picture of Brian and the kids together on Father's Day (which was the last straw), but I do have these pictures from late May. You'll find this scenario often in our front yard, especially spring and fall (not as often when it's 95 degrees outside). The way he invests in our kids via quality time is only one of the reasons Brian is such a good dad. He works 2 jobs but still says yes more often than no when they ask for just one more game (paper football and real basketball are the games of choice most days). He loves our kids so well. And if you're lucky enough to have Mr. Brian as your 4th grade reading teacher at school or your Children's Pastor at church, then let me assure you that he loves your kids as well. He puts everything he has into showing God's love to his 4th graders and into discipling kids at church and at home. I am SO guilty of thinking every dad is just like him. Truth is that with the exception of my own dad, he is one of a kind.
So Happy Belated Father's Day, Brian. You are knocking it out of the park. Or maybe considering the sport you're playing, I should say "You've got a triple-double" instead?
Doing what he does best: knowing it all and telling everyone else about it. ;)
This kid does not handle losing well; it is a constant struggle in our house.
Kicking the ball because he missed a shot. Guess it's time to pull out the belly.
This is Brian's go-to when he's trying to settle Camden down

Electrical contractors install a variety of parts, material and equipment on every job, which represents almost half of the total project cost. Providing the correct materials at the right time is critical to keeping projects on schedule; delays can waste valuable labor hours and money. Managing materials inventory is essential to ensuring project profitability. The right software allows contractors to monitor their inventory and to have accurate information about the types and quantities on hand.
"Having a system that tracks all the materials for each stage of a project allows the contractor to more effectively manage the job and to ensure that it is adhering to product forecasts," said Russ Mellott, senior director of product development for Activant Solutions Inc., Yardley, Pa.
How does inventory management software assist electrical contractors in their everyday operations? Inventory management software, according to Brad Mathews, vice president of sales and marketing for Dexter + Chaney, Seattle, tracks materials and helps contractors efficiently manage inventory investment and allows them to use inventory more effectively.
"The right software makes it possible to check available inventory, create a requisition for the necessary materials, expense those materials to a specific job, and to print a list of the items that are to be picked from the warehouse in one single step," he said.
Inventory management software also helps contractors to determine safety stock levels and reorder quantities, avoiding the problem of having either too little or too much of an item.
"The goal is to keep inventory levels and inventory usage in balance. With the right software, the contractors can avoid stock-outs and back-orders as well as overstocks," Mathews said.
In addition, an effective inventory management system allows a contractor to track and respond quickly to changes on the job and to better track what other related products are needed for a project, beside basic ones.
"A good inventory management system will also help the contractor by providing a history of purchases that will allow it to more accurately forecast what products and materials will be necessary for similar jobs and to work more effectively with its distributors to ensure the flow of products," Mellott said.
Other ways that an inventory management system can assist contractors in keeping operations running efficiently and profitably include being able to segregate inventory costs on a job-to-job basis and integrating with the company's accounts payable system to reduce redundant computer entry tasks.
"Inventory management software that works in conjunction with bar code scanners affords the contractor a clear view of ongoing operations," said Boris Hadshi, principal of Core Partners Inc., Frederick, Md. "With this sort of system, the contractor will know exactly what's available in the central storage facility and at each job site, who has been issued what equipment, and which costs to charge to particular jobs."
Features to look for
To be truly useful, inventory management software should be an integrated element of the contractor's overall business system, according to Mathews.
"This way, inventory management can be tied directly to job-cost programs as well as purchasing, work order and general ledger programs," he said.
In addition, the software should be able to record a list of items taken from inventory and used on a job; should support the major inventory costing models—such as last in, first out (LIFO) and first in, first out (FIFO); maintain a record of each purchase and the price paid; support the use of multiple warehouses and an unlimited number of inventory items; and provide detailed inventory transaction histories and reports.
"There should also be an option that includes an order processing system as part of the overall package," he said.
In addition to purchase history tracking reports, Mellott advises contractors to look for a program that will update inventory levels by location, track the demand and usage of different types of products by project or customer type, track lead times from suppliers, track supplier service levels (how well suppliers deliver on their promises), and generate replenishment requirements efficiently and accurately.
"The program that provides the contractor with the greatest gross return on its investment through the information generated is the one that will fulfill the contractor's requirements to management inventory costs effectively," he said.
Valerie Arneson, product director at Sage Timberline, Beaverton, Ore., advises contractors to look for software that allows users to enter or import requisitions, process necessary return authorizations, generate invoices automatically, enter change orders and track them, and generate new purchase orders.
"The right system will allow contractors to eliminate paperwork and will ensure better tracking of commitments as well as avoid material delivery delays by creating purchase orders from the job site," she said.
Bar code scanning capability is the primary feature that Hadshi advises contractors to look for when choosing an inventory management system.
"Bar code scanning improves both accuracy and the speed of the receipt, movement and shipment of products, and provides real-time reporting concerning outstanding orders and inventory location," he said.
In addition, bar codes record all operations and who was responsible for each, providing the contractor with a better chance to recognize and eliminate unexplained inventory losses.
One of the major benefits gained from using inventory management software is time savings. Software makes it easier to record transactions, check inventory levels, and produce reorder reports, said Mathews. It helps make jobs progress more efficiently by making it easier to requisition materials for jobs and to ensure that material is available when needed.
From the standpoint of inventory levels, contractors can use the information generated to choose the most cost-effective supplier with the best history of performance and the highest levels of service.
"In running an operation that is as lean as possible, inventory management software allows the contractor to minimize its inventory investment while allowing efficient project completion," Mellott said.
According to Arneson, inventory management software ensures that there is a three-way match between the purchase order, the stock receipt and the invoice. Other benefits, she added, include eliminating unnecessary double entries, removing the burden from the accounting department to provide reports and real-time information concerning procurement issues and inventory, and avoiding material delays.
"A good inventory management software system benefits the contractor by performing functions such as more tightly controlling receiving operations, verifying stock quantities in multiple locations, creating sales orders, and providing detailed, real-time reports," Hadshi said.
All of which improves the bottom line by improving efficiency, accuracy and timeliness. Inventory management software is a wise investment for contractors who want to run projects efficiently and save money by monitoring inventory and balancing supply with demand. EC

Nice. I was curious about tuna-pesto-tomato taste and it's OK. Obviously the taste of pesto covers everything else but I'm glad it didn't create something weird. Hah. So, I used cloud shaped pasta and a big, plane, peeled and chopped tomato + just a simple (free range, organic) cheese. Also I added a bit of a pasta seasoning mix and of course black pepper. It's nice.

The Central Connecticut softball team boasts this year's NEC Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Coaching Staff of the Year and eight members to the All-Northeast Conference list, the league announced Thursday. Sophomore Kat Malcolm earned both NEC Player of the Year and Most Improved Player in addition to being named to the All-NEC First Team.
Four Blue Devils earned a spot on the All-NEC First Team. Malcolm was joined by senior Nicole Springer, junior Arielle Bruno and sophomore Laura Messina. Four additional squad members were awarded places on the All-NEC Second Team including senior Kelsey Barlow, junior Tessa Brown, and freshmen Evie Rentzel and Brittany Ernst.
Kat Malcolm: Malcolm has enjoyed an explosive sophomore season. She has broken the single-season records for most hits (66) and most runs scored (46). She also ranks second in career slugging percentage (.597) and 10th in career home runs (11). Malcolm is just one home run away from tying the CCSU single-season record (10) in the category. Recently, Malcolm was also named to the Capital One Academic All-District First Team.
"This is an incredible honor for Kat," Head Coach Jeff Franquet said. "She has worked incredibly hard to come back from last year and she is so deserving of these awards. I am so proud to be her coach."
Nicole Springer: In her two years as a Blue Devil, Springer has posted impressive numbers at the plate. This year, she hit eight home runs, rendering her just two short of tying her own CCSU single-season record. She ranks first in Blue Devil history in career slugging percentage (.614), third in career batting average (.341) and fifth in RBI (80). She is tied for third in career history with 18 home runs and shares the record for most RBI in a single season (45).
"I am so proud of Nicole," Franquet said. "She has had to work so hard managing her diabetes and playing at a high level. She is an amazing athlete and a great person and I couldn't be happier for her to finish her career with such a great honor."
Arielle Bruno: Bruno has capped off her junior year ranking in the top 10 in CCSU history in nine career offensive categories. She has scored the most runs in the history of the program (113), ranks third in hits (162) and she is tied for third in career home runs with 18, eight of which have come this season alone. She is just two homers away from tying the single-season record. She has posted a .329 batting average, registered 48 hits, 11 doubles and 29 RBI on the season.
"I have always said Arielle is one of the best athletes in the NEC," Franquet said. "Now she has received this honor twice in her career and I am so glad that she plays for our team."
Laura Messina: Messina has picked up her sophomore campaign right where she left off, breaking numerous CCSU long-standing records and also surpassing many that she set last year as a freshman. Messina shattered the CCSU career shutout record this year registering 12 on the season for a grand total of 19, nearly double the old record (10). This season, she also became the winningest pitcher in CCSU history with 46 wins and tops the career strikeout record with 430. She ranks in the top five in six career pitching categories and owns five single-season records, including strikeouts (223). Messina tied the CCSU record for most appearances in a single season (35) last season. She is currently just three away from breaking the record and has the potential to do so this weekend at the NEC Championship Tournament.
"I think Laura has had an incredible season," Franquet said. "Anytime you win 24 games, you are one of the best pitchers in the league. She has an awesome work ethic and definitely deserves to be first team All-Conference."
Kelsey Barlow: Barlow shattered the CCSU career home run record this season, posting nine to take the lead with 28 over her career. She also tops the record book in RBI with 109 and has the chance to add to it this weekend at the NEC Tournament. She ranks in the top 10 in five career offensive categories. Barlow has racked up 35 hits, posted a .541 slugging percentage and scored 24 runs this season.
"I am so beyond happy for Kelsey," Franquet said. "She has become one of my favorite players I have ever coached and she has come a long way from her freshman year. I have so much respect for her and how important she is to our program and our success."
Tessa Brown: Brown posts a .277 batting average this season with 36 hits, including six doubles, one home run and 18 RBI. She has scored 16 runs on the season and is just four RBI away from cracking into the top 10 in CCSU career history.
"Tessa has really emerged as one of our leaders," Franquet said. "I am so happy that all of her hard work has paid off."
Evie Rentzel: Rentzel is one of two freshmen to make the All-Conference list for Central. She has proven to be a strong force at the plate and in the field. She boasts a .360 batting average over 125 at bats including 45 hits, seven doubles, four triples, five home runs and 31 RBI. She was consistently ranked in the top of the NEC in triples and even ranked in the top 40 in the nation in triples.
"It is such a great honor to be All-Conference as a freshman," Franquet said. "Evie works so hard and we are fortunate to be able to watch her play for three more years."
Brittany Ernst: Ernst has filled the critical utility player role this season and has been extremely effective at the plate and around the bases. She has scored 22 runs this season, registered 16 hits, hit four doubles and driven in six in just 50 at bats. She boasts a .320 batting average, a .400 slugging percentage and a .433 on base percentage. The freshman also appears in the outfield and yields a perfect fielding percentage.
"I am so happy for Brittany for being named All-Conference as a freshman," Franquet said. "She has so much potential and athleticism. I am looking forward to watching her play for the next three years."
Franquet and Assistant Coach Breanne Gleason were named NEC Coaching Staff of the Year this season. In his four years at Central, Franquet has led the program to three-consecutive record-breaking seasons as the 2011 team set a record of 29 wins, the 2012 squad broke it with 31 and this year's team heads into the NEC Tournament with 32 wins, including 16 in the NEC. Sixteen NEC wins is the most conference wins in CCSU history.
"We are incredibly humbled by the respect of our peers in the NEC," Franquet said. "This is an award that truly mirrors the team because without their success, we could not receive this award. We have been through so much adversity this year and we have stayed on course to qualify for the NEC Tournament. We are so proud of our team and we truly thank the coaches in the NEC for their respect of what we are doing here at Central Connecticut in 2013."
The Blue Devils will begin their second NEC Tournament in the history of the CCSU softball program today, Thursday, May 9, against Monmouth in Moon Township, PA. First pitch is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

Foreclosure Activity Down in 62% of U.S. Cities Year-Over-Year
Foreclosure activity in the third quarter decreased from a year ago in 131 out of the nation's 212 cities (62 percent) with a population of 200,000 or more, reported RealtyTrac.
In another sign that the housing crisis has at least turned the corner, third-quarter foreclosure activity decreased from the previous quarter in 134 of the metro areas tracked by RealtyTrac, or 63 percent.
In the nation's 20 largest cities, foreclosure activity was down year-over-year in 12 metro areas, led by San Francisco (36 percent), Detroit (31 percent), Los Angeles (29 percent), Phoenix (27 percent) and San Diego (26 percent).
The biggest annual increases in foreclosures among the largest 20 areas were in New York (69 percent), Tampa (43 percent), Philadelphia (34 percent), Chicago (34 percent), and Seattle (20 percent).
"Two-thirds of the nation's largest metros posted decreases in foreclosure activity in the third quarter, indicating that most of the nation's housing markets are past the worst of the foreclosure problem" said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "In fact foreclosure activity in September 2012 was below September 2007 levels in 58 percent of the metro markets we track."
However, rebounding foreclosure activity in some markets poses a threat to home price stability, Blomquist said.
Upticks tend to be in markets where the process slowed down most significantly over the past two years, resulting in a buildup of foreclosures in limbo that lenders are finally working through this year.
California cities accounted for the seven highest metro foreclosure rates in the nation during the third quarter, although foreclosure activity decreased from a year ago in all seven metros.
Foreclosure activity increased from a year ago in all three remaining metros among the top 10: Rockford, Ill., at No. 8 (53 percent increase), Chicago at No. 9 (34 percent increase), and Miami at No. 10 (11 percent increase).
Including Miami, seven Florida cities ranked among the top 20 metro foreclosure rates in the third quarter. Six out of the seven Florida metros in the top 20 posted annual increases in foreclosure activity. Ocala was the only exception at No. 20 (7 percent annual decrease).
California cities claimed two additional spots in the top 20: Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura at No. 17 and Fresno at No. 18. The other two metros with foreclosure rates among the 20 highest nationwide were Atlanta at No. 15 and Phoenix at No. 16.

Zimbabwe monitors: March polls 'impossible'
A Zimbabwean independent monitoring group says it will be impossible to hold free and fair elections in March when President Robert Mugabe wants the polls.
The Zimbabwe Election Support Network said Sunday the call by Mugabe for full elections in the last week of March doesn't allow enough time to establish conditions for a free vote.
The group said it is "adamant that logistically it is impossible" to meet Mugabe's timetable and complete constitutional and electoral reforms demanded by regional leaders.
It cited disputes in finalizing a new constitution, continuing political intimidation and gross inaccuracies in voters' lists that still name "ghost" electors who have long been dead.
Rushed voting couldn't be held on "a fair playing field" and the outcome would be unacceptable by democratic standards, the group said.
Mugabe has also called for a referendum on the 150-page draft constitution in November, but a parliamentary panel in charge of compiling the draft says it must be put to a stakeholders' conference first. That conference of political parties and civic and interest groups has already been postponed to late October.
The election monitoring group said in a statement Sunday the electoral commission responsible for running any poll has not yet received adequate funding, the draft constitution has not been widely publicized and laws governing the referendum itself are out of date and need revision.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, the former opposition leader in a fragile power-sharing coalition with Mugabe that was formed by regional mediators after the last violent and disputed polls in 2008, has called on his supporters to back the reformed constitution with a `Yes' vote in the referendum.
The regional leaders, led by the chief mediator on Zimbabwe, South African President Jacob Zuma, have proposed June as a more realistic time for fresh elections to end the coalition.
The poll monitoring group said an audit it carried out of voters' registration lists last year showed 27 percent of entries were dead voters and 47 percent of some 5 million voters no longer lived at the residential addresses given, opening the way for abuse and rigging.
It said sweeping security laws and media curbs favoring Mugabe have not been repealed, "hate speech" against opponents of Mugabe, 88, carried by his loyalist state media has persisted and Tsvangirai's party has been denied fair access to the state broadcaster, the sole source of information for most rural Zimbabweans.
Tsvangirai, 60, has been mauled in Mugabe's media over reports he had several love affairs after his wife of 30 years died in a car crash in 2009.
The state Sunday Mail newspaper reported that Tsvangirai made what it called "a stunning climbdown" at the 13th anniversary of the foundation of his party on Saturday when he apologized to "a coterie of women he inconvenienced by his escapades."
"I would like to apologize to anyone who was hurt because it was not my intention, it was a genuine search for a new wife," the paper quoted Tsvangirai saying at anniversary celebrations in the second city of Bulawayo.


text: garyIII 0 Posted February 24, 2013 There is a remedy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa. First the facts, this info is found in some hidradenitis forums & I found it in Celiac and Gluten Free forums – Hidradenitis is caused by antibodies to gluten. Somewhere I read that the tiny tubing that leads from the apocrine sweat glands get clogged. I think the gluten antibodies and bits of gluten we eat combine together and clogs these tubing and that starts the problem because the glands continue to produce sweat. But when sweat is impeded by the blockage , it remains and creates a swelling that complicates. Anyway, this is my understanding but if not, it is something like that. Now for the remedy. I read of a lady named Claire who wrote how she got totally healed of hidradenitis. But before you try this , you must be prepared for what it takes to get cured. There is a saying, if you want something, I mean really want to get something that is important, you must be willing to pay the price. Now, the price is you must remove the cause of the problem and that is to remove gluten – in other words go for the Gluten-Free -GF diet. Also, if you smoke, stop smoking because smoking will prevent healing. If you don't know how to do GF, it is found at www.celiac.com Celiacs have been doing these because it is necessary for survival. But we Hidradenitis people may not be good at this or do not have the right attitude. But here it is- I had to make the adjustments of going GF and I was determined to get cured. If you have the will, this is the way. If you are still with me then you are ready. So here it is. Read about the lady that got cured at http://hs-mytreatments.weebly.com/ Well, Am I cured? Yes Yes Yes It is your Life. You make a decision. I read Claire's article 6 times , on the 7th time I made my decision. You decide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classic rockers The Who have put together a very special performance for the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIV, and Harmonix has put together a very special download of that performance, available for download as soon as the game ends.
MTV Games and Harmonix have somehow convinced The Who (somehow likely equals money) to provide an early recording of the performance they'll be giving during Sunday night's festivities, which will be ready to download and play in Rock Band as soon as the ending...what is the ending thing in football? Is it a whistle? A flag? I need to visit Wikipedia.
Either way, as soon as the game ends, owners of Rock Band for the Wii and Xbox 360 will be able to purchase "The Who Super Bowl S-mashup" for $1.99 (160 Microsoft points are 200 Wii points), with PlayStation 3 owners having to wait, possibly because it isn't Super Bowl Thursday yet.
This is exactly the sort of ridiculous marketing that makes me glad I own a set of plastic instruments.

We've been hearing about PLM for a long time now -- probably at least a decade. But I'm only recently really starting to hear about people really benefiting from PLM. Does it really take that long for something that sounds so good to work its way into real business value?
Yes. I figure it this way:
It takes at least a few years for management to recognize there is a problem with the way things are done and that maybe there's a better way. Management generally ignores anything that involves new technology for at least a few years because they can't count it and because they think engineering/design people always want the latest technology simply because it's cool.
Management needs to understand what process improvement and continuous improvement really means, while realizing that the process improvement implicit in PLM is something every company should master.
Actually, technology rarely comes into the discussion in the first few years. The next steps are about process.
Where do potential improvements fit best, first? What would come next? Where would we find the best returns to show other groups and projects to get them on board with the new vision? This is the second most important step in getting PLM to happen. Start small and show big, visible wins. You also gain some insight into the real implementation cost (not the numbers that vendors tell you). At this point, we're already about three to four years into the transformation.
During this phase, a lot of good thinking happens -- thinking that helps the business, regardless of a chosen direction. One of the big things the PLM "movement" has gotten people pondering this last decade is what it means to have an integrated product lifecycle process.
Relevant things to think about include: What is my product data asset?; What data do I need?; Where is the data? What control do I need/have over it?; What don't I have/need control over (e.g. outside owner)?; and How much are we, as an organization, willing to share and with what limitations?
A huge amount of good homework is accomplished through this effort, taking apart internal processes and looking at things from a continuous improvement perspective.

8 Passover Activities to Do With Your Kids
Are your kids familiar with Passover traditions?
Do you want fun and interesting ways to teach your kids about Passover?
Has anyone in your family ever asked, "What is Passover?"
The editors of My Kids' Adventures searched the Internet for activities that you can do with your kids to prepare for Passover and learn more about this holiday that's full of tradition and history.
In this article I'll share eight Passover recipes and activities you can do with your kids to celebrate the holiday.
Why Celebrate Passover?
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is the Jewish celebration commemorating the Israelites' release from slavery in Egypt.
When is Passover? Passover is on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, and takes place over 8 days (7 days in Israel). Since the Hebrew calendar is different than the solar calendar that most people use, the date changes every year, but it's always in early spring.
Passover is steeped in tradition, and there are lots of things you can do to celebrate the holiday with your family.
