UAC enabled?
You have to start a console with Admin (elevated) rights. Right click on the entry for the DOS console in your start menu, then select 'Run as Administrator'.

I usually use a admin level console to do all of this. I had also gave disabling UAC a try a few weeks ago. That did not seem to work
. Even tried it from a recovery console and safe mode.
It is acting like something is running that has it. Turned off sysindexer which is the big one. Do not have live messenger installed (another big one to grab this file). I was also thinking it could be permissions. But I am a bit shy of messing with those as I could realy mess up the install which I do not want to do (least until I have a good backup). Have tried looking at the access permissions rights but cacls/icacls also gives the same error.
It is kind of a pain, as currently it is spread across 70 or so fragments in zone 2.
Also make sure you turn sysindexer OFF. Wow this bad boy destroyed any sort of free space compaction I had done with -a 7. It just slowly gets worse and worse. As it is a forward building file. So it always is claiming 'small' free chunks where ever it can find it. The indexer files are usually in the 300-400 fragment range. It is a slick utility. But performs badly as it likes to rebuild its index files a lot and they get/are fragmented all over the drive. Then it tends to make other files fragment. Never mind how much it slows the computer down.

I guess Vista itself makes use of USN journal, so if this is the drive where Vista resides, deleting is a no-go.
ATM Sysindexer behaves on my drives, so I leave it enabled. But thanks to your hint, I know where to look in case.

I have the exact same problem LH reported.
After instalation of SP1, my USN increased more than 70%, now with 2,7 GB and 75 fragments. This is awful!!!
Not being able to delete the USN Journal is not only bad for disk fragmentation, but also for backup management (now a days I have to use double layer DVD to backup my drive). Besides, if the USN gets corrupt or dirty, and this appened in the past, you have to do a Windows Clean Install to fix Windows.
I have uninstalled Live Messenger, Search disabled, DFS disabled, Indexing not installed (Vista default). UAC and Defender also disabled.
It seems that Vista is realy using the USN, like BOCO said, I haven't been able to delete it either in Normal or Safe Mode (with just 4 services running: RPC, Plug and Play, DCOM, User Profile Service). Again, to confirm BOCO, I CAN delete and rebuild the USN on my D:\ drive (without OS), but CANNOT delete it in the C:\ drive (with OS).
I belive this is a Vista bug, so I post a thread at Microsoft, but still waiting for the replly.
If they're able to solve the problem, I'll be glad to share with you.

Cool. Its not really a big problem for me. It is more anoying that I cant figure out what HAS this file. I also tried what you did. I turned off every service I could. I even took the extreem step of killing off every task I could.
There also seems to be SOMETHING that causes it to be rebuilt. As now instead of 70ish fragments I have 30ish, but the size is about the same. All I have been doing is using media player too.
But if you get something out of the other forum please post here! Or at least point at the forum you are using. Thanks.

Hi guys,
I haven't attempted to defrag Vista yet but sounds like you have the same problem as trying to get rid of the USNJRNL on XP. Have you tried booting with BartPE and then deleting the journal from there? Just got rid of mine that way (119 fragments) on winXP based system. Now finally I can get all my files contiguous.
Good luck

I have never had this problem with XP.
But the UBCD4Win seems a better option than Bart PE, which is not updated since early 2006 and it does not
support Vista. You can use the UBCD4Win on a Vista host providing your source is XP. The resulting ISO is slower and bigger than Bart, but also provides you additional tools and seems easy to build.

I was going to give BartPE a try. However it is XP vs Vista. The BartPE build process doesnt work with Vista at least from what I have seen on the forums. There is a way to do it with Vista and the some MS tookits but I have not downloaded the kit yet to try it. I will give the UBCD4Win a look though.
The HP laptop that has this issue also has a recovery console that boots from a different partition. I tried removing it from there. I think I got the same error (this was a couple of months ago, ive been trying to do this awhile).
I would also like to understand what is causing it in the first place. So I can either limit the issue or remove it. At one point Vista had rebuilt it and made it contig anyway! So there is something weird going on with this file.

I know this won't help much, but I just tried deleting the journal on my laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1, and it seems to have processed without any errors.

Thanks CQUINN,
I believe LH and I have a common denominator, which is a HP Laptop with a Recovery Partition instead of a Vista DVD. Maybe this is it. I'm using Premium 32. This sounds like a HP problem.

I went and tried it on a clean install of vista. It worked like a champ. So as fr@nkie said it is something specific to HPs image of Vista (home premium 32). Possibly the copy of Norton that was installed caused it in the first place.
From the research I have done on the Journal it is actually kind of slick. It tracks when a file has changed in some way. The defrag utility here could actually use it by caching off the last USN it saw then fiddling only with the files that have changed in some way. Such as movements etc. It could also use it to decide what files go towards the front of a zone as it has a LOT more info in it than just timestamp. It is however a CHANGE journal. So lastaccess time is still usefull for files that are accessed a lot but not changed. I am not sure yet but even running the defrag may be causing the file to get bigger. Need to do more research.
It is pretty binary either on or off. Then there are caps about how big the file gets. I had removed a BUNCH of permissions from a large number of files (20k). So that may have caused it to grow up to the max size (2 gig I think is the default). Other programs can fiddle with the size so that is probably why you see people saying it has taken over their drive.
Here is part of the API for it.
I was hoping to find something about the error but nothing so far. I am really starting to think it is a permission thing or some leftover bit of software from the image. Both of my XP copies at home had it off by default so I couldnt use those to test.

Hi LH,
So you where able to delete it with a clean install?
Can you post your services config here so I can check my own? We disabled a lot of things, maybe missing some service dependency, let me try to reverse the procedure.
Type services.msc, go to View> Add/Remove Columns, under Displayed Columns remove Description and Log On As; type OK. Then go to Action> Export List..., and paste it in here.
2GB is the limit? So I'm over the threshold, and growing!
I also had Norton IS, but I got rid of it with the Norton Removal Tool. Nevertheless Vista kept the drivers, which I removed manually from devmgmt without error, and some items in the Registry, which I could find with the search function, typing "Symantec". As for left overs, maybe, but I can't see anything unusual with Autoruns, Process Explorer or Hijackthis; maybe Vista is keeping old DLL and SYS clones in the WINSXS folder for PC history, and that is creating conflicts. But I didn't change any permissions (why should?, everything is running OK except this command), so I don't think that can be the "cause". Besides, why can I remove the Journal in my D:\ drive? I just did it again, as speaking, this was no begginer luck!
Were you using Acronis in your previous instalation?
I've also searched in the HP database and forums, but no sucess. Looks like their clients are not USN-aware.
If you want to it try in XP, simply type fsutil usn createjournal m=1000 a=100 c:, and then delete it. Works like a charm!

I didnt blow the install away on the laptop. The other vista was another MSDN virtual machine I have. It deleted before and after sp1. I also turned on windows defender then turned it off like what I had happen on the laptop. It also worked. So its not that
. I am tempted to try a norton install on it.
I dont have easy access to the box at the moment. But I tried disabling as many tasks as I could a few weeks ago. I went into the services control panel and stopped every single one that it would let me. Makes shutting down a bit difficult
. But it was down to the bare min 5 or so services. I did not disable them as I wanted to have a box that booted up again. I did this about a month ago. Right now the only thing that I have disabled is the sysindexer and windows defender. So it is pretty close to original install. This tells me its probably not a service. I also used proc explorer from sysinternals and went on a exe killing frenzy at the same time.
That Winsxs folder is another nightmare of a dir. TONS of linked files. Interesting fix for DLL hell. But more of a way of keeping exe's in sync with older dlls. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad. .manifests have their uses.
I didnt think of drivers. Definatly something to try there.
This weekend I want to try a knoppix boot and see if I can see what the permisions are on those files.
It could have been turned on from anything in the extra junk HP installed. Office, Norton, etc... So even though the program is gone its still busy logging away as it a combination of 'is the file there, what mode is it in, and a flag in the boot record of the disk'.
Im still leaning towards permissions
. It could have come from the service that initated the journal or from the original image itself. As access denied is really one of 2 things either permision or someone has the file locked. Given the fact it did the same thing from the recovery console makes me think permision. Though I do get the same access denied error from the clean install vista with icacls.
You can see the sizes for the journal by doing 'fsutil usn queryjournal c:' Though I think mine will probably do the same thing and just keep growing. I even tried filling the drive to see if I could cause it to purge itself. My math was also wrong on the limit. It is about 38meg by default.
I also never used Acronis.

Guess I agree, I was missing your point.
Last night I booted in normal mode without any third-party processes and services, and I search Process Explorer for NTFS metadata (Image #1).
The USN is really not in use, but it's there (Image #2 - this is Hdview). Neither Vista or any third-party processes are using it.
Further on, I looked at the permissions of the NTFS metadata I could query ($Extend$RmMetadata), and I confirm that any member of the Administrator group has no permissions to delete, execute, change permissions or modify its state (Image #3).
The latest image (Image #4) shows what I, as a member of the Administrator Group, am able to do: query but not delete (=LH).
So, how can we change the permissions of a super-hidden file like the USN Journal?
If, at least, where visible from the Windows API...

I found your link to this forum and noticed that you offer help for Steam related issues. Skyrim released today, I bought a digital copy for myself and began the download, and through the Steam client I purchased another copy to "gift to a friend." The funds are missing from my bank account but the gifted copy is unavailable to for my friend to download. it has been very frustrating and I tried opening a ticket and called the Valve phone number. I don't know if this is a common problem or if anyone else has experienced a similar issue, but any and all feed back will be greatly appreciated. I have been so aggravated for the past 4 hours trying to figure this out. Please, and thank you for your input.

Steam issue Gifting Skyrim to a friend

Once you get a response from valve I'm sure they will be able to clear it up, do you have the receipt email? It should also show a list of what you gifted in you account under the 'store transactions' tab just so you have proof you did it.
#3 Posted 11 November 2011 - 02:37 PM
Go here.
What is the status of the gift? Is it redeemed? Is it pending?
Did you receive an email from steam confirming you purchased the game as a gift?
Did you send it via steam directly, or via email?
If it was via email, try again, or possibly try again tomorrow if it gives you any crap.

That's the part that is puzzling me the most. When I go to my account and click on "store transactions" it shows my purchase history. The copy I bought for myself says "purchased" as well as the other game I downloaded some months ago. but the gifted copy is "pending" status. I bought them within minutes of each other. As I already said, the funds are missing from my bank account, and under "store transactions" it shows it pending, (for whatever reason) but there is nothing available in the tab when i click "manage gifts and guest passes". Also, I got the email receipt instantly from the copy I bought for myself, but never received one for the "gifted copy". And I wasn't sending it to an email address, I chose the gift a friend option which is supposed to "immediately" (according to the support forums) making it available for my friend. Issues like this really take the "convenience" factor out of buying digital copies from Steam.
#5 Posted 11 November 2011 - 02:50 PM
Well, after hours of pointless stress and research it finally went from "pending" to "purchased". I just can't for the life of me, figure out why it took so dang long. Thank you to those that took the time to read my ranting posts, lol. And also thank you for your feedback. I guess time and patience was the answer, and I fell short on both, but thankfully my issue is resolved. Again, thank you for your input and happy gaming!

TEL AVIV (WNS) — Defense Minister Ezer Weiz¬ man said the IL 1.4 billion cut in Israel's defense bud¬ get will not harm the army's development and pre¬ paredness. He said that Chief of Staff. Gen. Mordechai Gur, who had earlier indicated it woud, agrees with the cuts. Weizman's remarks were made as he explained that the budget decrease would mean that the army would buy IL 622 million less from Israeli industry, and cut construction by IL 153 million. The new budget would also rediice purchase abroad by IL 550 million. WASHINGTON (WNS) — Two Congressmen have charged that the Carter Administration's proposal to sell 60 F-15 warplanes and related equipment to Saudi Arabia will threaten the "Fragile Balance of power" in the Middle East, In a letter to President Carter, Reps. Robert F. Drinan (D. MASS.) and Benjamin S. Rosen¬ thal (D. NY) said the planes "can only serve to destabi- . lize the military balance, escalate the regional arms race and violate the principles of the President's new policy to restrain arms sales." The congressmen also said they feared that if there was another Mideast war Saudi Arabia might become involved.

Grenache and 10% Mourvedre, it comes primarily from the Plan de Dieu (Plain of God), which is situated northeast of Chateauneuf du Pape. This tank-aged, deep ruby/purple-colored, concentrated, fleshy, medium to full-bodied, supple offering reveals plenty of pepper, kirsch and black currant fruit intermixed with a notion of flowers. It is meant to be consumed during its first 2-3 years of life although I have tasted 10-year-old bottles that are still holding together. "

this wine covers your palate with loads of flavors, as well as loads of pleasure. it calls for the meat and vegetables on the grill in summer, and the big stews in fall and winter.
ROBERT PARKER 90 POINTS - "The 2010 Cotes du Rhone Reserve (a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault, with nearly 10,000 cases imported) Read More...
is outstanding. Dense purple, with notes of roasted meats, black raspberries, blackberries, licorice and lavender, this wine is just terrific. Medium to full-bodied, rich and certainly far deeper and more concentrated than one has any reason to expect from a wine that sells for $15 (the taste is more like one for $35 to $50), this is a winner that will drink well for 4-5 years."

is a sleeper of the vintage. With excellent texture as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel, this sensational Cotes du Rhone exhibits lusty black cherry, raspberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of lavender, subtle smoke and earth. Full-bodied and opulent, it will provide gorgeous drinking over the next 2-3 years. Buy this one by the case."
Monpertuis definitely ranks among our favorite Rhone estates and based upon sales of their wines, there are more than a few whom share our opinion. Their latest Cotes du Rhone is a Read More...
tremendous value that is sure to excite existing fans and make a lot of new ones as well.
Made almost exclusively from Grenache, this seductive elixir showcases a juicy mélange of wild red fruits laced with delicious hints of pepper, spice and smoked meats. Neither heavy nor tannic, its perfumed and smooth with just the right balance of fruit, soft tannins and bright acidity. This is certainly a classy affair at the price point and a reminder of the tremendous values still available from the South of France.
Heres a wine thats suited for year-round consumption and is perfect for a wide variety of Spring and Summer fare for sure. A real steal at this price and a bargain hunters delight.

the site of a Roman villa, Louis cellars show spectacular remains of old, Roman vinification vats carved into the limestone. Here, Louis works with different grape varietals from the Rhône, vinifying each parcel separately. He has recently taken to acting as a micro-négociant, working closely with top growers in the northern part of the region who still work with la vieille sérine, an ancient version of Syrah. Producing only a few precious barrels of each cuvée, Louis is helping to save the authenticity and the identity of many great old Côte Rôtie parcels, and now those of Hermitage and Crozes, by keeping them out of the hands of the large, corporate négociants in the area. Together, he and Kermit blend our Cypress Cuvée (Rouge) and Sunflower Cuvée (Blanc) from his own vineyards, and the other Northern Rhône wines from a selection of Louis purchases. Louis selects the best parcels he can find, and then Kermit shows up and either has a cuvée bottled unfiltered, or he blends to find the assemblage that satisfies his esthetic criteria.

all aged in tank. While there are multiple bottlings given the massive production, they are consistent from bottling to bottling. The freshness, exotic tropical fruits, fragrant bouquets, dry, fleshy mid-palates and crisp finishes of these wines will be admired by consumers.

and cherries in a naked, but beautifully textured expression of Cotes du Rhone. Aged in truncated oak vats, it is a blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre.

the vintage. Lots of plum, balsamic, cassis and black cherry jam aromas are followed by a lavishly fruity, silky textured, full-bodied red to drink over the next 3-4 years. This is a winner!"
WINE SPECTATOR 90 POINTS: "This displays ample depth and drive, with a dark, winey feel. Lots of licorice snap, steeped plum and black currant flavors lead to a long, charcoal-filled finish. Drink now through 2014. 3,500 cases made." JM

and dry, hard tannin in the finish. It appears somewhat disjointed, but full-bodied with plenty of potential, yet enough questionable features to raise reservations about its ultimate equilibrium. We will not know for 5-6 years. It should keep for 15-16 years."
WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - "Fashioned from fruit purchased in the northern sector (Verenay) of the appellation, the outstanding 2003 Cote Rotie Cuvee Read More...
Embruns boasts roasted herb, beef, underbrush, licorice, cassis, and raspberry aromas as well as flavors. Fleshy with good minerality and crisp acidity, it can be enjoyed now and over the next 7-10 years."
ROBERT PARKER 91-93+ POINTS - "The limited production but phenomenal 2004 Cote Rotie La Belle Helene is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. Read More...
Tannic and dense ruby/purple, it is more masculine and austere than usual, but still concentrated with tangy acidity, loads of tannin, and impressive levels of concentration and richness. This is a beauty that will require patience. Give it 3-4 years of bottle age and then drink it over the following 10-12 years.
The Ogiers are a wonderful family, and its gratifying to see the extraordinary quality of wine that continues to emerge from them. The son Stephane has taken over fully from his dad, who seems to be inching into full retirement, and continues to push the estate to higher and higher levels of quality."

Im stuck on red whats the best way to beat red in heart gold I have tried everything
my pokemon are: dragonite lv.88 its moves are surf,hyper beam,return,cut
feraligatr lv.79 its moves hydro pump,cut,waterfall,and avalanche
floatzel lv.50 its moves are waterfall,razor wind,surf,wirlpool
mewtwo lv.73 moves are rock slide thunder strength phychic
honchkrow lv.29 moves are astonish pursuit fly swagger
All you need is good Pokemon choices with good movesets. If you want some suggestions, we can't even begin to help until we see your team, their levels, and movesets.
If you edit your question, giving this info, then I'll edit my own answer, giving advice.
EDIT: You have a good team, but the movesets are pretty bad.
Dragonite is so good, Stats-wise, but the moveset is horrible, to be honest. Keep Return, but get Dragon Rush, Dragon Dance, and Waterfall on it.
Two Water-Types? Wouldn't be my choice, but both of them are pretty good choices. You don't need so many Water moves on them, though. Feraligatr should lose Hydro Pump and Cut, and get Crunch and Ice Fang back.
Floatzel needs to only keep Waterfall, but get Bulk Up, Crunch, and Brick Break.
Mewtwo is pretty good!
Honchkrow has good Move type choices, but they're dreadfully weak. Get Night Slash on it to replace Pursuit, get Steel Wing to replace Swagger, get Thunder Wave (if you can) to replace Astonish. The paralysis is useful. If you can't get Thunder Wave, then get Psychic on it instead.
Your team definitely has the levels (With the right moves, Feraligatr and Dragonite could probably sweep Red's whole team), but you need much better moves for them.

I Said No.
I was careful not to burn any bridges. I asked if I could come back when I'm ready. I feel that the door would be open. Making decisions like this are tough. I went with my gut. I thought about doing it and felt sick about the schedule. Doing it would have been very exciting! What a feather in my cap - it would be permanently on the web and aggressively advertised worldwide. Not-doing-it feels calm and relaxed. I know that absence of pressure will keep the creative juices flowing. I really want to create. That's #1. Teaching is secondary, and I have great options locally. Do you think I'm crazy? Would you have declined an opportunity like that? (Look at me... still looking for someone to tell me what to do. lol) I figure I have the rest of my life to teach & do some globetrotting. Today still needs to be one day at a time with my family and my art. Right? Right.

You did the right thing Monika. If you felt sick just thinking about the schedule it would have been way worse trying to actually DO the schedule. You will never regret time given to your family. I'm proud of you! Saying "no" is hard- especially to something that big. I think they will still want you when you are ready... after all, there is only ONE Monika Kinner-Whalen!

Wow, what an opportunity for you - having said that I think you made the right decision. The time is just not right for you just now. You WILL know when the time is right.
The opportunity WILL come again and I look forward to it when it does!!! - June 16, 2012 at 5:45 AM
- HollyM said...
When I'm conflicted about a decision, I know I've done the right thing if it feels stressful and especially if I feel calm once the decision is made like you. I agree I think you made the right decision for now.
You are growing as an artist at the same time being there for your kids. What could be better? - June 16, 2012 at 5:53 AM

I agree with everyone here....you made the right decision. I always think its best to follow your gut. The opportunities will continue to come...but your children are only young once.

Sometimes leaving some mystery about your art makes it more desirable. it's never a wrong choice to choose your children, and getting on a treadmill of deadlines sort of takes the fun out of making art. Congrats on the offer. It's good to be wanted! :)

Monika, When you follow your gut instinct, you rarely go wrong.
How about this? Enjoy the excitement you got from the opportunity, and the calm from the decision you made. - June 16, 2012 at 6:56 AM

I agree it was the right decision at this time , you have a young family and believe me their growing up years just fly by and there will be lots of time for this type of opportunity once they have grown up , you can never go wrong with a gut feeling in my opinion . Congrats on being asked that is a definite feather in your cap :-)

Oh wow, I've followed several courses through Craftsy and love them dearly. It would have been great to find out how to embroider a landscape using machine and hand embroidery.
Still, I have wondered how the teachers are doing it, being so involved and answering so many questions, sometimes over and over again because people don't take the time to read through already asked and answered questions... It's a day-job and then some!
I'm proud of you choosing your family who needs you more at this time. Your time will come, it's something really special that you do and I think I will buy your course when it comes up on Craftsy over 10 years too!

I always tell my kids..."Go with your gut feeling" ! You know inside what the right answer is, and know when it feels right! There will be another time when this will feel like the right time.

You can never go wrong by following your own instincts, Monika. Trust yourself. Money in the bank isn't always happiness in the soul.

More often times than not, saying No is the kindest thing we can do for ourselves. Saying yes and being stressed out would not have been good for you or your family. When the time is right you know it.

Supposing I had anything that Craftsy was interested in me doing videos about, I would *never* say no.
That said, I`m 50, my kids are grown and on their own, and it`s just me, my spouse (who is endlessly supportive) and our fur babies. You are in a totally different situation, and so you made the right decision for your children, but more importantly, for you.
You have to look at yourself in the eye in the mirror every day and know that you`re doing what`s right for Monika. So congratulations on choosing you. :) - June 16, 2012 at 8:05 PM
Well I definitely think you should have said yes only because I would love to take that class but you have to do what is right for you and your family as that comes first. I will be ready for any book or class you teach.
- June 16, 2012 at 10:19 PM
- Elsa said...
Good for you. I know that say NO is a hard enough thing to do, but when combined with something so exciting as Craftsy, well it would be down right hard. I believe that we have to listen to our 'gut', weigh the options and go with what is right for ourselves and our family.
It's great that you asked to be able to come back when the time is right for you. - June 17, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Craftsy wouldn't have been near as fun as my attic classes! Glad you are doing local - I'm excited about hosting your class in the fall. I'll even make gluten free snacks!
I know it has been said before but the time with your kids is important. They really do grow up so fast and then (eventually)you have an empty nest and can then proceed to fill that time with creative enterprises. I'm always amazed at what you can get done with 3 children around but I get the feeling that sleep isnt' that necessary for you. - June 17, 2012 at 12:24 PM

Habitat: open positions or part shade
Flowering: early spring
Height: 20 cm
Width: 20 cm
Soil: any good garden soil
The Vernales section of primulas includes ours beloved primrose, cowslip and oxlip, which are usually, but not always, pale yellow, but there are some bright pink species from further afield – not to mention the polyanthus hybrids, with appallingly vivid colours, fortunately kept away from us in municipal plantings in the middles of roundabouts.
Primula cf. veris SDR6350 is a collection of the well-loved cowslip, in this case from towards the southern end of the Alps. It has the typical clusters of bright yellow flowers, contrasting with the light green calyces, which make it appear to be pale yellow when viewed from a distance.Primula elatior is rare in Britain, but common in Europe. The oxlip has upright stems with clusters of flowers, rather smaller than those of the primrose, and of a similar pale yellow. This is a strain derived from plants that we believe originated in France, and which we have grown for many years. Occasional seedlings that appear to be hybrids with Primula vulgaris are weeded out, but it is possible that they could occur again. | ||
Primula elatior ex 'Magnifica' represents seedlings of a selected form of the oxlip, with a name that does not appear to be generally recognised. Nevertheless the name does give the game away; it is a strong form with large flowers, perhaps a little paler than usual. | ||
Primula elatior SDR5439 is the cowslip, which has upright stems with clusters of flowers, somewhat smaller than those of the primrose, and bright yellow. This is a collection from woods in northern Croatia. | ||
Primula elatior SDR6327 is rare in Britain, but common in Europe. The oxlip has upright stems with clusters of flowers, a little smaller than those of the primrose, and of a similar pale yellow, but larger and paler than those of the cowslip, Primula veris. | ||
Primula cf. elatior SDR6955 came from the central Alps, where it is commonly found, although the oxlip is a rare species in Britain. It has upright stems with clusters of flowers, somewhat smaller than those of the primrose and of a similar pale yellow, but larger than those of the cowslip, Primula veris, and not such a bright yellow. | ||
Primula 'Gigha' is an excellent variety of the primrose, reliably producing its pure white flowers very early in spring, and from time to time throughout the year. It multiplies rapidly, and will soon form a good patch, particularly if the plants are split every few years. | ||
Primula juliae is named after Julia Mlokosewitch, so we can be glad that this pretty Primula did not suffer the fate of the other plant named after her, Paeonia mlokosewitchii. This parent of well-known hybrids such as 'Wanda' makes a low mat, with the rich, deep, pink-purple flowers on very short stems above it. | ||
Primula 'Lady Greer' has the general appearance and structure of an oxlip (Primula elatior), with short, upright stems, each bearing a small cluster of pale yellow flowers. It is a very reliable and easy plant, soon making a good patch of colour. It pays to split the clumps every few years. | ||
Primula 'Mrs Marjorie Banks' is not a name that we can find in any official document, but it appears to be one of the juliana hybrids (formally Primula x pruhoniciana). This group includes the well-known Primula 'Wanda'. Like that, Mrs. Banks makes a low mat, with the lovely clear pink flowers, each with a prominent yellow eye, held up on short stems. | ||
Primula veris is the cowslip, an old-time favourite, found decreasingly in meadows, in the shelter of hedges and at woodland edges, but increasingly on motorway embankments. The flowers, several to each stem, are smaller and richer yellow than those of the primrose, but backed by pale green calyces and stems, so the appearance from a distance is of a pale yellow. | ||
Primula vulgaris - vulgar? Certainly not. Or does the name mean common, in the sense of plentiful? Not nearly plentiful enough. No, it was merely the most familiar to Linnaeus, who would probably have given this name to Primula sikkimensis if he had been Chinese. Anyway, lots of pale yellow flowers with orange centres, apparently on separate stems, although if you explore deeply enough you will find that they are actually an umbel. |

They create one photon and measure its polarization, destroying it — they then create another photon, and though it never coexisted with the first, it always has the exact opposite polarization, proving they're entangled.
How do the Xbox One and PS4 controllers stack up? May 23, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Now that both Sony and Microsoft have had big coming out events for the next-gen consoles, the public finally has a real understanding of what we'll be holding for the next few years. Neither controller is extraordinarily different from the current generation, but they both have refined and tweaked core features to offer what is hopefully a better gaming experience. So, how do they stack up?
The neuromorphic bug eye cam: A 180-degree visual system for drones May 23, 2013 at 12:02 pm
Autonomous drones are basically cameras with wings.

A new device known as the CURVACE (Curved Artificial Compound Eye) has recently been developed to meet the demands of a flight. It is not so much a camera as it a complete visual system.

A child's development should be an enjoyable experience for both parent and child. You may be surprised at the variety of everyday activities that provide valuable, lasting learning experiences.
Learning Opportunities and Everyday Situations
Structured learning is an important and necessary part of a child's life. In fact, most children will experience at least 12 years of formal education in which they will listen to instruction, write papers, take tests, give reports, and complete assignments. Therefore, take advantage of their early years to get them excited about the process of learning. The attitude children have about learning will ultimately influence their future success much more than the school they attend and the special programs in which they are involved.
While your child is exploring her environment, talk to her about what is happening. As she gets older, ask her questions about why she thinks things happen as they do. Jenna is two years old and loves to climb in and out of the laundry basket. While her mother sorts the laundry, she talks to Jenna about concepts like in and out, top and bottom, under and over. As a result, Jenna has learned to say these words and use them appropriately.
Jenna's mother has used an ordinary and necessary activity to expand Jenna's vocabulary and promote gross motor development. In the meantime, Jenna is having fun being a child. As Jenna gets older, her mother could ask her questions such as "Why does the basket tip over when you lean on one side?" or "How many people do you think could fit in that basket?" These types of questions encourage children to think in terms of solving problems.
The Critical Role of Play
Children learn through play. As adults, we separate our work from our play. However, for a child, their work is play. Some of the best learning that occurs in a child's life happens when they are playing independently or with their peers.
Just as an adult needs the proper tools and environment to do a job, a child needs the appropriate tools and environment to encourage him to discover and play freely. This does not mean they need an elaborate playroom filled with the latest educational toys. It is far more important that they have a play area that is safe, open, and filled with items that they can touch and manipulate.
An Enthusiasm for Learning
Busy family schedules can often interfere with a child's valuable playtime. Although learning can still occur in the car, at the grocery store, and waiting in line at the mall, this needs to be balanced with larger blocks of time to engage in creative and imaginary play.
Learning should be fun. Attitudes about learning usually reflect personal experiences in school. Karen has taught kindergarten for the past 16 years. "I love working with five- and six-year-olds because they are so excited about learning. They are eager to try new things, they are not inhibited by what they cannot do, and they love the adventure of a new experience. I wish children could keep this enthusiasm for learning, but something happens along the way."
Children who view learning as a positive experience will be more apt to take advantage of educational opportunities. The best way to prolong your child's excitement for learning is to make learning fun. It is a lot more fun for children to learn their letters by playing "Name That Letter" while riding in the car, than reviewing alphabet flash cards for 10 minutes every day. As more learning is incorporated into the child's play, the more likely they will view learning as a positive experience.
Here are some practical ideas on how to promote development in everyday activities:
Gross Motor Development
Gross motor development involves improvement of skills utilizing the large muscles. Activities such as running, jumping, throwing, skipping, and riding a bike promote gross motor development. Improved coordination and body control is the focus as a child's body becomes larger and stronger.
- Lay your infant on the floor so they can practice lifting their head and rolling over.
- Put him on his back and let him reach for toys.
- Hold him so he will use his feet to bounce. However, be cautious about devices that allow your infant to bear weight before his bones are ready. If you have questions about what is right for your child, ask your child's doctor.
- Allow him to walk on the curb as you are walking along the sidewalk.
- Have him throw his dirty clothes in the laundry basket, then praise him when he "makes a basket."
- Give your child chalk to draw circles on the sidewalk, then have him jump from circle to circle.
- While waiting in line at the grocery store, count how long your child can balance on one foot.
- Encourage him to gallop, skip, hop, march, and run when walking a long distance.
- Have bean bags readily available for him to practice throwing, tossing, and aiming (at appropriate targets, of course).
- When it is safe, encourage your child to climb trees, and playground equipment.
- Set up an obstacle course using handy items or tape in the driveway. Allow your child to maneuver his bike in and out.
- Find a safe spot in your yard. Allow your child to dig holes.
Fine Motor Development
Fine motor development involves improving skills that use the small muscles. Activities such as grasping, drawing, cutting, gluing, manipulating, and pointing promotes fine motor development. Improved eye-hand coordination becomes more refined as the child gains more control of their small muscles.
- Give him blocks to hold in his hands.
- Let him play with plastic bowls and containers. Be especially careful of small objects that could end up in your child's mouth, ears, or nose.
- Help him use his fingers to point at objects.
- Allow your child to put toothpaste on his toothbrush and brush his teeth.
- Give your child a fork and spoon to use at mealtime.
- Collect scrap paper in a box and let him practice cutting with safe scissors.
- Teach him how to fasten his clothes.
- Keep a supply of balloons on hand for your child to practice eye-hand coordination by keeping the balloon in the air.
- Cover the kitchen table with large white paper. Allow your child to draw pictures and write words while he is waiting to eat or when he is finished eating.
- Start a young child's puzzle on the least disruptive corner of the kitchen counter. Have him work on the puzzle while you are preparing meals.
- Assign the task of setting the table to your child. This challenges his fine motor skills as well as teaches him responsibility.

Published November 1, 2008.
Parboiling, shocking, drying, sautéing—do you really need a four-step process to produce tender, evenly cooked beans?
The standard technique in most recipes for sautéed green beans goes something like this: parboil, shock in ice water, dry, and finally, sauté. While the method has advantages, sometimes we want things a little more streamlined.
We wanted tender, lightly browned, fresh-tasting beans, without all the fuss and in just one pan.
We reversed the standard process and sautéed the beans first. We briefly cooked the beans until they were spotty brown but not yet cooked through, then added some water. As soon as the water hit the skillet, it evaporated. We covered the pan so that the beans could cook in the steam. Once the beans were almost finished, we removed the lid, then blasted the heat once the lid was removed. This quickly vaporized the little water left in the pan and allowed us to promote additional browning before the beans cooked through. We also added a little softened butter once the water evaporated for richness and even more browning. As far as additional flavors, we limited extras to herbs, spices, and a few pantry items—these added complexity without tampering with the dish's one-pan simplicity.

Masters of Melody
Location: Portsmouth
Date: 23-02-2012
Time: 19:30
Venue Details: Portsmouth Guildhall
Works Performed
- Scriabin : Reverie
- Mendelssohn : Piano Concerto No. 2
- Rachmaninov : Symphony No. 2
- Conductor : Alexander Vedernikov
- Soloist: Saleem Abboud Ashkar (Piano)
Scriabin's Rêverie, premiered by Rimsky Korsakov in 1898, was criticised for its brevity, yet it is packed full of beautifully crafted orchestral colour and texture. Luscious harmonies interweave to create a swirling dreamscape that ebbs and flows mysteriously.
The Piano Concerto in D Minor was written for performance at the Birmingham Festival of 1837. It opens unusually with a quiet, almost menacing, dialogue between the soloist and orchestra and a mood of darkness and mystery pervades most of the first movement, balanced by a delicately light, lively and brilliant finale.
Regarding his first symphony a failure, it was to be another 12 years before Rachmaninov began work on a second, and even then, he kept it a secret. The first moments of this piece are elemental oozing Russian melancholy. Several rhythmic and melodic ideas that are developed throughout the entire symphony derive from the opening gestures. This symphony's sound-world is remarkable: sombre harmonies complement orchestration like deeply burnished mahogany. Audiences approved and Rachmaninov was vindicated as a symphonist.
"Ashkar's dancing finger-work fully decorated the ensuing melodies with an infectiously engaging bravura."

A novel and pretty sneaky Trojan designed to steal financial data appeared on our radar screen last week. The Trojan, once installed on a victim's computer, rootkits itself to prevent detection, then watches the victim's browser for any attempt to connect to the secured, HTTPS login page of several online banks. When the victim visits the login page the Trojan has been waiting for, the Trojan generates a form that "hovers" over the login page asking for additional verification information.
"In order to provide you with extra security, we occasionally need to ask for additional information when you access your accounts online," reads the popup window. Everybody needs extra security, right?
Of course, the additional information that the bank appears to be asking for is all information the bank already should have if you have an account there: The number on your credit and debit cards; a Social Security number; your date of birth and mother's maiden name; The PIN code for your debit card and the security code printed on the front of any credit card issued by the bank.
The problem is, the form completely blocks the full page, preventing you from logging in — until you fill in all the fields in the form it displays. Then it sends that information (encrypted with SSL, mind you) to a server at the IP address 126.96.36.199, part of the address space allocated to Beijing Telecom.
Your bank may outsource some of its customer service tasks, but stealing your financial identity isn't part of the normal services your bank provides.

For Immediate Release: October 21, 2009Contact: Chris Macaluso(225) firstname.lastname@example.com
BATON ROUGE -- The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority adopted a resolution allowing state officials to sign a modified agreement with the Corps of Engineers to move forward on construction of Orleans and Jefferson Parish outfall canal pump stations at its meeting Wednesday at the State Capitol. The resolution allows Authority Chair Garret Graves to sign a project partnership agreement with the Corps of Engineers to proceed on an "option neutral" path forward to building the pump stations on the London Ave, Orleans Ave. and 17th Street Canals. Please click here to read the resolution. The resolution comes after months of debate among the Corps of Engineers, the Authority, Jefferson and Orleans Parish officials, the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East and members of Congress about what kind of protection project the Corps is authorized to construct. "We would have to build the pump stations to be operable for the current conditions no matter what option is constructed so there is no reason for us to oppose the building of the pump stations at this time as long as the Corps agrees in good faith to examine the building of the technically superior options," said Tim Doody, executive director of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East and CPRA member. "Once the pump stations are constructed, then the modifications can be made to the pump stations to accommodate changes made to the canals."According to the resolution, a list of all the features necessary to build option neutral pump stations will be developed by the Corps, the Authority and Jefferson and Orleans Parish officials and included in the partnership agreement. The Corps will also agree in good faith to fully examine and consider the construction of Option 2 and 2a. Corps officials have said they were authorized by Congress to build only "Option 1" which relies on pumps operated by the parishes to move water into the outfall canals while pumps at the mouths of the canals worked in sequence to pump water into Lake Pontchartrain. State and local officials expressed concerns that Option 1 was technically inferior and could ultimately be reliant on the same flood walls that failed during Hurricane Katrina, inundating New Orleans and parts of neighboring Jefferson Parish. The Authority, parish and levee authority officials and Congressional members argued that the Corps should fully examine building Option 2 and 2a, which are recognized as the technically superior because they eliminate the need for sequencing pump stations by deepening the canals and making them drain by gravity. Option 2 and 2a would also eliminate the need for the questionable flood walls. Option 2a includes pumps that would carry some rain waters to the Mississippi River. A resolution was adopted by the Authority in March that prohibited the state from signing any agreements with the Corps to cost share the building of the pump stations unless a thorough examination of Option 2 and 2a was conducted "on a level playing field" as Option 1. Today's resolution supersedes the March resolution. Mike Park, Corps of Engineers hurricane protection system program manager, told the Authority that the Corps can and will build option neutral pump stations that can be operable after modifications are made to deepen the outfall canals and will proceed "in good faith" to examine Option 2 and 2a. Park said the Corps will examine the feasibility of building Options 2 and 2a but it only has the money to build Option 1 at this time. "It is within our authorization to do the feasibility study to examine other options but it was not contemplated that it would be funded," he said. April 2014 is the current anticipated completion date for the pump stations, Park said. Graves said the Corps indicated to Congress in 2006 that the project would be completed by the end of 2010. In other business, Roy Dokka, the executive director of the LSU Center for GeoInformatics, explained a video that displays GPS-determined elevations of the South Lafourche Levee System and the elevations of surrounding wetlands and the communities inside the levees. Dokka's elevation readings are being used by federal, state, parish and local officials and levee districts to determine flood risks for coastal communities. According to the video, many areas inside the levees were below sea level while wetlands outside the levees, still decimated by saltwater intrusion and erosion, were slightly above sea level. Windell Curole, CPRA member and executive director of the South Lafourche Levee District, said coastal communities constantly deal with the threats caused by subsidence, coastal land loss and the possibility of storm surge flooding. A better understanding of those threats and risks will help those living along the coast better contend with those threats, he said. "It's very important that people understand the risks associated with where they live and where they are building," Curole said. "For instance, the four lane highway that leads through Golden Meadow and down to Port Fourchon is two feet below sea level. It's okay to live and work in these areas as long as you understand the risk." Dokka said he and his associates at LSU are working to help explain those risks by providing the most accurate geologic information to officials working to rebuild and protect coastal communities and federal officials determining which areas are at highest risk. He emphasized that much of the data being used by FEMA and the Corps of Engineers to develop flood elevation maps is outdated and inaccurate. "I can't figure out where they get some of the data and the numbers," Dokka said. "In St, Mary Parish near Patterson there are barriers that are 23 feet higher than what the FEMA maps say they are. We want to know what the truth is. We want reality and when you look at reality right now it is different than what FEMA thinks it is. We need to get to a place where we can move forward. We can't wait around another five years for another study to get done. We need to get it done now."

The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's mandate is to develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive coastal protection and restoration master plan. For the first time in Louisiana's history, this single state authority will integrate coastal restoration and hurricane protection by marshalling the expertise and resources of the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Transportation and Development, and other state agencies, to speak with one clear voice for the future of Louisiana's coast. Working with federal, state and local political subdivisions, including levee districts, the CPRA will work to establish a safe and sustainable coast that will protect our communities, the nation's critical energy infrastructure, and our bountiful natural resources for generations to come. The CPRA of Louisiana was established by Act 8 of the 1st Extraordinary Session of 2005.
