NEW YORK, United States of America, 9 November 2012 – Monday, November 12th marks the fourth World Pneumonia Day. UNICEF is calling for a greater effort to eradicate the disease, which is the biggest killer of children under 5 years old.

UNICEF correspondent Chris Niles reports on World Pneumonia Day. Watch in RealPlayer |
"We can't have the reductions in child mortality that we envisage without a concentrated, direct attack on the biggest enemy that children face," said UNICEF Chief of Health Dr. Mickey Chopra.
Easy and cheap prevention
Pneumonia killed 1.3 million children in 2011. Yet, the disease is easily and cheaply prevented.
A recent report by the United Nations Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and Children, which is led by UNICEF and the United Nations Population Fund, estimates that 1.56 million lives can be saved in five years by increasing the availability of the antibiotic amoxicillin, which costs about US$0.30 per dose.

Tasleem Mondy carries her 18-month-old son Mohammed home from the Sindh Government Children's Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, where he has been treated for pneumonia. According to UNICEF Chief of Health Dr. Mickey Chopra, "Within a lifetime, we could have a world in which the chances of a child surviving pneumonia are the same in Niger or Ethiopia as they are in New York." |
Hand-washing with soap and water reduces the incidence of pneumonia by 23 per cent, but is not routinely practised in most developing countries, especially among the poor.
Taking pneumonia seriously
Worldwide, vaccination coverage for pneumonia is at about 85 per cent, yet the poorest often miss out. And unsanitary, overcrowded living conditions and lack of knowledge of how to protect themselves increase their vulnerability.
"Governments have to take the threat of pneumonia seriously and provide adequate vaccines, diagnostic services, treatment and healthcare, especially among the poorest, or this scourge will continue to rob the world of its children at the rate of almost 3,400 per day. This is unacceptable," Dr. Chopra said.
"The failure to tackle pneumonia is a double failure. Not only are we allowing a treatable and preventable disease to wipe out over a million children a year, we are leaving to its mercy the very people who need help the most – the poorest of the poor," he said.
© UNICEF/BANA2012-00771/Khan |
Quaderul Islam, 1 1/2 months old, is suffering from pneumonia. He lies next to his mother at the Derai Upazila Health Complex in Sunamganj, Bangladesh. Pneumonia is the biggest killer of children under 5 years old. |
Within a lifetime
"UNICEF has calculated that effective action could reduce the numbers of deaths from pneumonia to a level of 20 per thousand," said Dr. Chopra.
"Within a lifetime, we could have a world in which the chances of a child surviving pneumonia are the same in Niger or Ethiopia as they are in New York," he added.
Started in 2009, the Global Coalition against Childhood Pneumonia provides leadership for World Pneumonia Day. The coalition comprises more than 140 NGOs, academic institutions, government agencies and foundations.
This year it is hoped that World Pneumonia Day will build on the momentum of A Promise Renewed, a global movement for child survival that began in June.

Can you remember my I Chow, I Shop, I Capture: Hong Kong posts? Well here goes another installment of my travel escapades- to my second home, Thailand this time. First up, their food. Thai Cuisine is known for its balance of sweet, sour and (extremely) spicy dishes. Here are some of my choice chows from The Land of Smiles!
- Pad Thai- stir-fried rice noodles that showcase the classic flavor of Thailand with a bounty of sweet vegetables, fresh lime juice, chili powder and roasted nuts
- Tom Yum Goong- good for the health due to its effective blend of herbs and spices, this is a popular soup in Thailand and around the world.
- Green Mango Salad- teasing tang and a mix of textures that will surely awaken your taste buds
- Mango and Sticky Rice- fresh mango slices plus sweet and sticky rice, smothered with coconut sauce
- Chicken Skin- crispy, deep-fried and dipped in vinegar = guilty, guilty pleasure
- Sugar Sweet Corn- shredded corn sprinkled with sugar, this is a personal favorite.
- Baby Coconut-cool and refreshing after a lengthy day of shopping, it's just like a natural Gatorade.
- Durian Chips- especially tasty and somewhat addicting, serves as a good pasalubong too!
Are you hungry yet? Here are more food photographs from my latest spree to Bangkok, Thailand early on this month.

Hello Raw Foodies,
My name is Simon, aka Supa, and I have been a muzzled reader at the board for bit. I have found the banter here about juice recipes and kitchen gadgets very informative. But the stories of people regaining their good health are moving and inspirational. Since the beginning of this year I have been on my own journey of trying to heal my mind and body.
First the bad... I have psoriasis, acid reflux, add, have been a smoker for 25 years, and since the beginning of this year I have been having allergic hypersensitivity skin reactions to substances unknown. The hypersensitivity may have started with three spider (or other bug) bites on my ankle, but it is hard to know and has proved too complex for even the brightest medical doctor minds to unravel what exactly is going on with me. I've been subjected to steroids, antibiotics, antifungals, antihistamines, allergen injections, patch tests, and you get the idea.
Now the good... I definitively quit smoking on leap day this year and started the healing process of removing toxins from my body and reverse some of the damage I have done to myself by smoking. I aim to bring my psoriasis under control and cure my allergy hypersensitivity issues.
I have a love affair with nature (and yes even the bug that bit me) and the mother to much of nature around me, my wife. For our anniversary gift this year we decided to buy a juicer to help us consume the leftover bounty of garden greens before the hard winter frost sets in, and as a side benefit... to help prolong our time together on this planet. :)
We are pescetarian and have been getting our share of fruits and veggies (albeit mostly cooked). She is definitely the head chef of the household and I am the grounds keeper and repairman. I am actually more what they call a generalist, a jack of all trades I do not want to pay other people for and a master of the ones I find most interesting. Where ever we have lived we have always had a garden. During winter I setup an indoor garden so we can keep our potted herbs alive and producing for the kitchen till spring. We also have been sprouting broccoli, radish, and sunflowers for our salads for many years.
Attachment 9260Attachment 9261Attachment 9264
She manages the two worm compost bins which receives most of the kitchen veggie waste. The worm bins create the organic miracle fertilizer we use a sparing handful at a time at the base of every plant. I manage the hot pile composting in the back yard with whatever is left over. This is never enough material to make a dent in our compost nitrogen needs, so every evening I stop by to pickup an eight gallon container with fifty pounds of used coffee grounds and filters from our local Starbucks. If the weather is sunny and hot I separate the grounds from the filters and dry them in the sun to a loose powder for using in a broadcast spreader as an organic fertilizer for the lawn and garden. If its cold or overcast I mix the wet grounds and filters with dry shredded leaves we rake, steal, shred, and stock pile each fall, and then add the mix on top of the current active heap. This is the foundation of my daily exercise and provides the garden yearly with five cubic yards of the richest dark leaf compost that money just can't buy. The rest of the compost we use is composted cow manure from a dairy farm that we bring in two yards at a time at sixty bucks a load. This is what we use for the initial improvement of the our silty clay loam soil when starting a new bed or for a light top dressing of the lawn to help increase the organic matter fraction; which in turn improves water retention, nutrient cation exchange, and keeps the soil food web healthy, diverse, and fed.
Attachment 9263
With the addition of the new juicer to our lives, I have found myself a kitchen niche of our morning juice maker. And so that is what brings me here. To find support, confidence, and ideas to keep this up everyday while moving toward better health. So while my wife and I use to clink way too many glasses of wine to cheers the good things that happening from day to day. Now we clink glasses of fresh juice and cheers to good health.
Attachment 9262
Cheers everyone,

Passions Run High in Bivalve BattleEnvironmental lawyer Amy Trainer is an outspoken advocate of removing the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. farm from the wilderness preserve in the Point Reyes National Seashore, where it has operated on a fixed-term lease that has come to an end.2013-01-18 01:49:53 PM POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE For years, it has set off scientific debate, turned neighbor against neighbor, incited angry editorials and even prompted an act of Congress. This coming week the fate of a family-owned oyster farm in coastal Marin County will come before a federal judge. By now the basic controversy is well-known: The owners of Drakes Bay Oyster Co. were operating in a protected wilderness zone under a 40-year lease from the federal government. One day before the lease expired Nov. 30, the U.S. Department of the Interior refused an extension and gave the owners three months to close down their business. On Friday, Drakes Bay Oyster Co. will ask U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland to block that order from taking effect until a court challenge can be decided. It could be owner Kevin Lunny's last stand in a hard-fought battle that has divided his community, sown dissension between eco-conscious foodies and environmentalists, and galvanized conservative media outlets because it pits a small business against the federal government. One could say these oysters have been anything but aphrodisiacs. To Amy Trainer, an environmental lawyer and outspoken advocate for the farm's removal, the survival of one business is secondary to the goal of creating a marine wilderness preserve, an outcome she views as the fulfillment of a decades-old promise to the American people. "The process was supposed to take politics out of the decision," said Trainer, executive director of the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin. "Once Congress says something is potential wilderness, it's on a one-way journey." Remarkably, given the fierce advocacy on both sides, this is the first time the dispute has come before a judge. To grant an injunction, Gonzalez Rogers must consider whether Drakes Bay Oyster Co. is likely to ultimately win its case. She will also evaluate whether the business faces irreparable harm without relief, whether the equities weigh in the oyster farm's favor, and whether an injunction is in the public interest. Leading the legal fistfight is Cause of Action, a libertarian advocacy group with ties to Tea Party politics. The Washington, D.C., group represents the oyster company pro bono and has also been leading an aggressive public relations campaign. A preliminary hurdle for the lawyers will be persuading Gonzalez Rogers she can take up the case under the Administrative Procedure Act, which provides an avenue for judicial review of some executive decisions. Also at issue is a provision of the Interior Department's 2010 appropriations bill, authorizing a new 10-year permit to be issued to Drakes Bay Oyster Co. "notwithstanding any other provision of law." The government claims in court filings that since Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar took no action and simply allowed an existing lease to expire, the decision is unreviewable. For the same reason, Justice Department lawyers argue the Interior Department was exempt from compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. Amber Abbasi, the company's lead lawyer at Cause of Action, calls those assertions "ridiculous." Salazar took action when he denied the oyster farm's application for a new permit, Abbasi said. What's more, Abbasi adds, the Interior Department and National Park Service did not follow mandated standards under NEPA, which requires an environmental impact study and public comment prior to federal action. "Congress doesn't want the federal agencies to be able to get away with something like this," Abbasi said. What her group wants is to preserve the status quo so the oyster farm can survive to fight its case in court. If Lunny doesn't win his injunction, the farm is done, Abbasi said. "That's the kind of injury that can't possibly be compensated." Preserving the pristineDrakes Estero is a marshy inlet from Drakes Bay with four separate bays. From an aerial view it resembles a misshapen hand with crooked fingers probing into the coastline on the southern side of the Point Reyes peninsula. On land, the farm has a small footprint an office trailer, a small shack selling oysters, a storage shed, a few residential trailers, equipment and some picnic tables. But underwater, oyster racks stretch over at least 147 acres, becoming visible at low tide. The sheltered waters of the estuary have been used for commercial oyster farming for nearly 80 years. At present, roughly 20 million oysters worth perhaps $10 million are being cultivated in the waters of Drakes Estero and would be lost if the farm shuts down. Environmental groups view the estero, which is home to harbor seals and thousands of birds, as the ecological heart of Point Reyes National Seashore. In 1976, Congress designated Drakes Estero a potential marine wilderness. Ever since, the only barrier to full wilderness protection has been the oyster farm, operating under the fixed-term agreement between the farm's previous owner and the U.S. government, which purchased the land in 1972. On a sunny January afternoon, Lunny's sister and farm manager, Ginny Cummings, handles media interviews even as she answers phones and serves customers in the farm's store. Behind the glass counter, heaps of shellfish sit on ice beds. Atop the counter are two canisters collecting donations for the farm's workers who stand to lose their jobs as well as their residences on the property. That's what gets to Cummings, who was raised along with Lunny and four other siblings on a neighboring ranch within the national park. She worries about the farm's roughly 30 employees finding work and affordable housing, as well as her own livelihood. She left a job as a school administrator in Sonoma County to help her brother manage the business. At 58, she wonders who would hire her. "Why couldn't we have worked out a system, a program where we could have worked together?" Cummings said. "What are we gaining by taking away our local sustainable food sources?" Particularly disappointing to Cummings was the crusade of environmental groups to get rid of the farm. "What it is," she said, "is a really sad separation between local food producers and wilderness seekers." The disappointment goes both ways. Trainer, a Kansas native who had been working in Colorado, knew she was stepping into a fight when she took the job with the Marin environmental committee to advocate for converting Drakes Estero to full wilderness status. But when she moved to the tiny Marin County community of Inverness in 2010, Trainer was not prepared for the vitriol. Six weeks into her new job, Trainer wrote an op-ed for the Marin Independent Journal urging the National Park Service to expel Drakes Bay Oyster Co. at the end of its lease. "Isn't it a break of public trust to prioritize private commercial use of this national park over securing wilderness status that the public and wildlife have anticipated for nearly 40 years?" she wrote. In response to the editorial, supporters of the oyster farm called for her job. Trainer's organization is one of four environmental groups that have asked to intervene in Drakes Bay's legal challenge, over opposition from Lunny's lawyers. "It's been so divisive in the community," she said during a recent visit to the marshy estuary. "There are a lot of people who just don't talk to each other anymore." Slimy AftertasteKevin Lunny and two of his brothers purchased the oyster farm, previously known as Johnson Oyster Co., in 2004, and took over the lease, technically a reservation of use and occupancy. Speaking by phone this past week, Lunny said the agreement explicitly provided for the possibility of renewal. "The fact that the lease had an expiration date made it no different than any other lease," he said. As part of the shore's ranching community, Lunny knew that every ranch and dairy farm in the Point Reyes National Seashore had been permitted to remain on the land by extending agreements with the federal government. He was optimistic. Shortly after the purchase had been finalized and his family had invested roughly $300,000 to clean up and improve the oyster farm, Lunny said he began getting distressing signals from the National Park Service that the agency intended to shut down the farm in 2012. The sides have been feuding ever since, often clashing over whose scientific reports are more accurate. (The National Park Service claims the oyster farm disrupts the estuary's seal population; Lunny believes the oysters contribute to the marine ecosystem by filtering waste). Lunny won a round in 2009, when Senator Dianne Feinstein pushed through Congress an appropriations rider authorizing a new permit. But now language in the law has been turned against the oyster farm. Since the measure authorizes a new permit to issue "notwithstanding any other provision of law," DOJ lawyers claim the Interior Department had no obligation to comply with NEPA. Lawyers for the oyster company insist that language would apply only to the grant of a permit, not its denial. In his November order, Interior Secretary Salazar drew a distinction between the oyster farm, operating in the waters of Drakes Estero, and dairy and beef ranching operations, which he called a vibrant and compatible part of the national seashore. Even as he ordered the oyster farm's closure, Salazar directed the National Park Service to extend ranching permits to 20-year terms. "That's one thing that's very strange," Abbasi said. "It seems that only Drakes Bay Oyster Co. falls afoul of the National Park Service." To the pro-wilderness crowd, the bottom line is that the oyster farm's right to occupy Drake's Estero had a clear end date, which Lunny knew when he bought the business. "They risked it," said Neal Desai, associate director of the National Parks Conservation Association for the Pacific region. "This was a business decision." Desai said it was critical for Salazar to end oyster farming in the potential wilderness area so future attempts to convert land to wilderness would have credibility. "Hopefully," he said, "this will send the right message." Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to some ranching and dairy businesses as operating within the "protected wilderness area" or "wilderness zone." In fact, those businesses are on properties that, though part of the Point Reyes National Seashore, are not designated wilderness areas. |

Valentine's Day calls for something sweet -- but you can skip the candy for me. Make mine a dessert wine.
There are the usual suspects: port, late-harvest riesling, Tokaji. But a trip to France's Roussillon region inspired in me a thirst for its dessert wines, or vin doux naturel (literally, natural sweet wine).
Roussillon produces 90 percent of France's vin doux naturel, a term that's a bit misleading because the wines are sweet as a result of a man-made intervention: Grape spirits (clear brandy) are added to the fermenting wine, which stops the fermentation while the wine is still sweet and boosts the alcohol. The process, called mutage in French, is similar to that used for port.
Sweet wines from the area, which hugs the Mediterranean in France's far south, near the Spanish border, come in a range of colors. The best-known bottlings are from Rivesaltes and Banyuls.
Rivesaltes, a large flat-to-rolling zone, is the largest appellation in Roussillon for sweet wine. There are several types of dessert wine made there, but the easiest to find is muscat de Rivesaltes, a golden wine made from muscat blanc and muscat of Alexandria. (Muscat blanc generally is considered the superior, more aromatic muscat, but Rivesaltes vintners like muscat of Alexandria for the weight it brings to the wines.)
Another type of wine, Rivesaltes ambre, can contain muscat as well as some other grape varieties. Ambre is, as the name suggests, an amber color, the result of a few years of oxidative aging, sort of like tawny port.
Banyuls is an altogether different type of area. The grapes, mostly grenache noir, are grown on breathtakingly steep, rocky slopes, some of which rise almost directly from the sea. The vineyards for Banyuls (and its dry counterpart, Collioure) are the southernmost in France. Aging techniques and wine hue vary, but the wines I see most often are those labeled as "rimage," which are not oxidized and are bottled quickly to retain their fruitiness.
I love good muscat in nearly all its guises, and muscat de Rivesaltes is no exception. The best ones are aromatic, floral, sweet but not cloying and, despite alcohol levels over 15 percent, aren't at all "hot." For example, the 2008 Domaine Cazes Muscat de Rivesaltes ($25) is spicy and fragrant, with citrus, honeysuckle, orange peel and nutmeg. (The 2007 vintage is currently available.) The 2011 Domaine Gardies "Flor" Muscat de Rivesaltes ($23) offers floral aromas and sweet pineapple, mango and peach flavors. And the 2011 Ferrer Ribiere Muscat de Rivesaltes ($22.75) is a little lighter, with white peach and peach blossom notes.
Not many Rivesaltes ambres are imported; one that is, the 1998 Domaine Gardies Rivesaltes Ambre ($33), is made mostly from grenache blanc and aged for eight years, including five in large barrels. The wine is nutty and sweet, with peach jam flavors and nice freshness. Another is the nonvintage Chateau de Pena Rivesaltes Ambre ($15), which isn't overly sweet and has flavors of nuts, dried apricots and ginger.
Banyuls sometimes is referred to as port's French cousin, although I find that Banyuls tends to taste less alcoholic. A good example is the 2011 Domaine La Tour Vieille Banyuls Rimage ($24), which is spicy, with dried fig, dark chocolate and a hint of tobacco. The 2010 M. Chapoutier Banyuls Rimage ($29) offers sweet raisin and fig flavors, but the finish is a little more drying. Continued...
Roussillon's sweet wines aren't likely to be on the shelves of most supermarkets, but many good wine stores will stock a couple of them. If you don't find the brands I suggested, do try another. And if you can't find a bottle for tonight's festivities, keep these wines in mind for future occasions that call for something sweet.
Most of Roussillon's vintners also produce dry wines. In fact, the region is in transition: 60 years ago, most of Roussillon's wines were sweet, but now production is about half sweet, half dry. I'll tell you about the dry wines in a future column.

TOWNSHEND -- After more than 60 years, Grace Cottage Fair Day runs like a well-oiled machine.
And that includes an army of volunteers, which makes Grace Cottage Hospital's "biggest day of the year" go off without a hitch. They handle a variety of duties including driving trucks, setting up booths and making ice cream.
And they don't require much prompting.
"It's uncanny," said Barb Barber, vice president of Grace Cottage Auxiliary, which puts on the fair. "We don't even call people. They just know the routine, and they show up."
This year's Fair Day kicks off at 9 a.m. Saturday on the Townshend Common and features an auction starting at 9:30 a.m., a "birthday" parade at 10 a.m., a chicken barbecue at 5 p.m. and a performance by the Grafton Band at 5:30 p.m.
Food booths include a new addition called "Munchies" featuring homemade treats. There are free pony rides for kids, and this year's "celebrity dunk" booth features four willing victims: Sgt. George Badgley of Windham County Sheriff's Department; Mick Brant, Grace Cottage Hospital chief executive officer; Jim Heal, director of pharmacy at Messenger Valley Pharmacy; and Dr. Robert Backus.
It's all to raise cash for Grace Cottage, situated a stone's throw away on Grafton Road. Jim Crozier, the hospital's facility manager, said Fair Day sends about $60,000 to Grace Cottage annually for projects large and small.
That's why volunteers like Don Hazelton show up
"That hospital is super," the Dummerston resident said. "So you want to give them anything you can."
Across the Common, the sound of a hard-working engine meant that a trio of volunteers -- Ray Sorrentino of Townshend, Dominic Tagariello of Williamsville and Charlie Dion of Townshend -- were making ice cream.
They do it the old-fashioned way, churning ingredients in a barrel with power from a two-horsepower engine that dates to 1916 and was used for years at Brattleboro Retreat.
They sell about 100 gallons of vanilla and chocolate ice cream at Fair Day, and the engine is part of the experience.
"It's been here forever," Tagariello said. "The noise of it, that's what brings people over here."
The ice cream engine is just one piece of Fair Day infrastructure that must be assembled on the Common. It doesn't happen overnight.
"It takes seven days to set up," Crozier said. "We start Friday night the week before."
As Crozier spoke Thursday morning, students from Kindle Farm School had just departed after erecting tents. Today will bring another flurry of activity as merchandise arrives for the fair's auction.
Barber puts it this way: "You name it, we get it." Auction inventory -- consisting of items donated year-round -- often includes furniture, art, tools, bicycles and machinery among other offerings.
"Usually, if we're lucky, we'll have a car," Crozier said. "This year, we'll have a Zodiac boat."
The auction and a long list of other activities draw several thousand people to the fair. Crozier said it's become a tradition that brings families and old friends together.
"If families are going to have a reunion in the valley, they do it around fair day," he said.
And when all those people depart, there's still more volunteer work to do. Taking the fair apart, though, doesn't take as long as setup: Crozier said the record is five hours.
"It's an amazing thing to watch," he said. "I've always wanted to get a time-lapse camera to capture it."

What are yous bruhs doing for cardio?
are you strictly into lifting?
Posted 30 September 2010 - 02:23 PM
i cycle & run outdoors
cycling burns more calories in an hour than running does & is easier on the joints so i ride much more than i run.
although once the weather turns cold, dark & shitty cycling season is officially over & i'm strictly running.
cardio burns fat...i know you're not trying to be super lean, but i think you have to incorporate some cardio into your routine. have you tried short, easy runs or jumping rope?
a bike or stairmaster will work your lower half more than running while still cardio based...maybe that's best for you.

moderation is key
i think the best thing anyone can do for themselves is to limit processed foods as much as possible. the sugars, sodium & other additives are not doing anyone any good whatsoever.
& for all those packaged items you just can't live w/o...read the labels VERY carefully!
i don't agree w/ cutting caffeine. sure, 5 coffees/day is a bit excessive but 1 definitely has its health benefits.
everyones digestive system reacts differently to gluten. i would recommend trying to go gluten-free if you've been having issues.
as for soy...it contains phytoestrogens so i try to stay away from it most of the time.
tasb just curious, where did you find this?
Posted 05 October 2010 - 06:00 PM
Posted 05 October 2010 - 06:09 PM
about the only thing 'processed' I eat are Pro-Max Protein Bars. About the only thing I eat out of box are a fish sandwich once a month, crackers and pasta. I'm good for about ten sodas a week though and a fair amount of low carb gatorade. All my meals are made from scratch.
right now I'm holding steady, weight wise. I dropped 20 pounds then lightened up on the cardio. Hitting hard this week though. I think that alone will drop the last 10 pounds I need to.

- Caught Lots Of Bugs
- Simple to use
Best Uses
I hung the trap in bright window upstairs and downstairs. In three days, almost all ladybugs disappeared. Literally hundreds of them went into the traps. I know this because my curiosity got the better of me and I had to cut one of the traps open to investigate. Incredible!
One tip: be sure to clean window before hanging trap (as mentioned in directions). Even if your window looks pretty clean, its probably not as clean as you think...

Best Uses
I placed the ladybug buster in the window and the very next day the ladybugs were gone!!!! We have had some hot days and I have not seen ANY ladybugs!!!!! I did read the reviews first and I was skeptical BUT it is so reasonably priced, I thought I would give it a try. So glad I did!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
This product really does work!!! We have been vaccuming up at least 50 to 80 lady bugs a day, we bought the lady bug buster because we figured 25 dollars was better than 250...at that point we would try anything. We applied this to the worst window in which would have about 30-40 lady bugs to this window. Within 3 days there were only 2-4 lady bugs and there was a thick line of lady bugs in the trap (you could see this because the light would hit it). Now we are only vaccuming up 5-10 a day and sometimes none. I am so happy I saved over 200 dollars by ordering this as I did not have to pay an exterminator to come out and treat our house. Very happy with this product. Only con was that the powder had leacked some during shipping and had difficulty getting the powder evenly spread, but it still worked. Note I followed the directions very thoroughly.

back for a second set , these work at keeping lady bugs under control in my home where we get them as soon as its warm around 65/70 degrees and we get hundreds , and i get maybe 1 or 2 once in a while, it did last 2 years so I have repurchases them this year.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Did Not Catch Lady Bugs
Best Uses
I was very disspointed with this product. I put it up about four weeks ago. I never noticed any lady bugs going towards it. After about 2 weeks of using it, I looked in it, and there was not one lady bug in it and the lady bugs were still crawling all over the ceiling and walls. The product did not work.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
This product does not capture ladybugs as it promises in the catalog.The product is suppose to work to reduce the number of invading ladybugs gradually over a period of weeks. I have had this product positioned in my window for several weeks now, and have not seen any reduction in the number of ladybugs invading and lying dead on my bathroom floor. Such a disappointment!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- I Used This About Two Yea
- Rs Ago And It Was Great
- As Well As It Did Before
- D Out In The Bag So I Am
- I Am Hoping It Will Work
- I Still Have Ladybugs But

Best Uses
I am not happy that one spilled.
bugs would not enter
- Doesn~~~apos~~~t Work
Best Uses
Not only does the Lady Bug buster not capture any Lady Bugs, but it actually attracts more to the room. Thus, the scent lure works great, but the trap doesn't work at all. I would have been better off without the buster, and saved a whole lot of money!

My favorite class this semester! Awesome professor who teaches EXTREMELY CLEARLY. I received an A in the class and the material takes patience to understand. Master all the problems & concepts in the logic book for whatever unit you're studying & you'll be set. Helpful for students planning to take the LSAT. We need more professors like him at UH.
I LOVED his class. Logic came really easy to me thanks to his great teaching. Lots of practice and help is available if you need it, and extra credit is also offered. His logic class is definitely the best option for a philosophy course credit at U of H. I also found him very funny and his tangents were interesting. TAKE HIM!
Professor Haaga is by far one of the best professors the University of Houston has to offer. He truly cares for his students understanding Logic and gives you a TON of examples to do exceptionally well with an abstract subject. Work through the workbook and exercises online. If you do, you'll do great and enjoy it while you're at it.
He is amazing. His teaching style is clear as crystal and he goes over things a million times until everyone understands. There is extra credit for coming to class and bonus problems that you get ahead of time. He offers plenty of tutorials, I just never needed them. TAKE HIM. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
He makes this class a lot of fun. He's very clear and precise, and has enough resources for you to really ace the class. He has a quiz every week except test weeks, but those quizzes are easy and if you just do the practice, you'll be fine. Really enjoyed his class.
This is one of those classes, like economics that you either find really easy or really hard. Luckily to me it's super easy. If that's the case then it's an easy A, test every 3 weeks and weekly homeworks. Overall it's a minimum effort class for me but I don't find it interesting at all. Plus there's a lot of extra credit.
Easy A class. Interesting reading for blackboard 5 question quizzes. Test outlines and reviews before exam. Class discussions help with test outline. Exams are online at home with mult. choice and free response graded leniently. Exempt from final if grade is high enough. Overall, best professor I ever had at UH.
Don't buy the book, he has written his own and you can buy it bound from the print shop for $12 or print from BlackBoard. TAKE THE QUIZZES! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! GO TO EVERY CLASS! Don't miss a day of at least looking over the notes or you will fall behind-I did and it sucked. Summer is intense but really the best way. Awesome prof. Taking Logic 2.
He explains things very well. The class uses an extremely cheap ($12) university-published workbook and as long as you work through the problems you should understand the material. I found I didn't need to do all the problems in order to gain an understanding. He gives extra credit for attendance and bonus problems for most tests, too.
I made an A! Curtis is such a great professor! He is funny and constantly tells us to ask questions for clarification. I asked as many as I could and if you just do your homework it is so much easier. Sure some techniques are tricky to understand but he reallyyy helps you out! TAKE HIM! He drops your lowest grade and gives PLENTY OF EXTRA CREDIT!
This class was hard, but if you pay attaention and prcatice the material you'll be fine. The book isnt mandatory but its very helpful to have on hand considering it is $13. The professor is very helpful and easy to understand and makes logic more interesting than is is.He drops lowest test grade at the end of the course
He's cool but the material is quite confusing. I took this to avoid Math but s was a bit hard. Go to tutorials early and watch the Youtube videos. The book is on Blackboard for free. Go to class for attendance points and the make sure you get the material. It takes alot of time for a subject you'll never use. I hated the inclass quiz. Take hybrid.
He is passionate about the subject matter and really care whether you understand it or not. Fun examples, interesting topics of discussion.
One of my favorite professors EVER. He really knows what he's doing and teaches the material very well. I took him for a summer session and got a 105.5 for the class. If you have a good understanding of the material, it will be easy to get an A. Gives extra credit for every test as well as attendence bonuses. You will want to go to class. TAKE HIM!
He's a AWESOME teacher!! you will get an SUPER easy A as long as you attend classes. He give extra credit toward every exam and you also receive extra credit for attendance too. and he give out helpful exam review too. so as long as you do the review you will get a A on his exams :)
If you didn't do too well in logic the first time, try it with Professor Haaga! In my opinion, he teaches the same material, but presents it in a way that is easier to understand. He is very helpful. Also there are plenty of opportunities for extra credit!
This prof is great, excellent knowledge and cares abou the subject. Extra credit for perfect attendance, drops lowest test but not a cumulative final, gives extra for every test. The book is not required but a printed workbook helps, though it is online for personal printing if you prefer. Very helpful and has a test review before each test.
Logic 1 with this professor was one of my absolute favorite classes at UH! He is passionate about the subject matter and is very helpful. I did not have to study much, but I always went to class and paid attention.
BEST PROFESSOR AT UH. Seriously. He makes things so simple. I have never been good at any sort of math or abstract thinking- but the way he phrases things really makes sense. And he's funny, consistent, fair- every quality I've ever needed in teacher. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

You make it sound as though
You make it sound as though there are no problems with Virtualbox.
Try running a windows XP guest on Ubuntu Karmic 64 bit. CPU on host machine will be at almost 100%.
Many people have this problem and their forums say everything from run a dummy machine at the same time,
switch 2 cores to one in VM manager, to many other fixes. Most do not work. Even XP running at 30% host CPU at idle sucks.
This is when it is working the best.
If I can't simply run win XP on Ubuntu Krmic with good performance, how is Virtualbox the winner? It's not just me, it's 100's of
people posting these issues.
VMware has no problems. VMware the winner hands down.
Works for me in Ubuntu 9.10 x64
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 x64 host with VBox non-OSE version.
Currently running Win7 Ultimate in VBox with 798MB RAM - mainly for Outlook 2007 and Visio 2007. Runs smoothly enough for everyday use with CPU usage around 20% on a Core 2 Duo 2.54GHz processor laptop.
Now and again I also need to boot XP Pro in VBox with 1GB RAM. CPU usage together with Win 7 is around 50% when using our Centra client for collaboration.
And just to top it all off, I also have Server 2008 with 1GB RAM for .Net development. All 3 running concurrently takes cpu usage to around 70%.
Used to use VMWare Workstation 4 and 5 for Linux then more recently VMWare Server for Windows. Stopped using VMWare when they moved to web based management console and found remote console performance too slow for my liking.
Did have real problems with VBox prior to v3 with networking. Was causing problems with our remote control app DameWare Remote running in XP. Version 3 resolved that issue so I'm happy.
For VM migration we use rsync to copy the currently running VM and config files to a spare server. When required we boot off the copy. Windows likes to perform a disk scan of the virtual disk on first use then runs happily afterward.
KVM has some unique features
KVM does have some more features unique to it which I think the others might not.
Para Virtualized drivers.
Xen (or call it Para Virtualization) is told to be more efficient in terms of performance because the guest OS is modified for the Xen host.
But this has the drawback of guest modification.
With KVM, you get para-virtualized drivers for your block and network devices. This allows you almost native performance without modification of guests.
KVM sucks in the management UI part. And the management UI is mostly the thing you seem to have covered here, in this article.
VMWare over VirtualBox
I've used VMWare (workstation) for years on XP host with Linux guests, since v1.0. It is outstanding. At my current employer, they're kind of cheap and opt for OSS tools whenever possible (good for the movement, bad for me ;-) ). So we use VirtualBox.
In general it's fine for running a LAMP development VM on my XP host. I notice no real issues. However, the VMWare networking seems to be flawless and everything works fantastic. Virtualbox, I can't seem to use a 'internal' mode (didn't try Host-only). My host can't connect to the VM. I have to use 'bridged'. Not such a big deal as it makes it easy for co-workers to connect to my VM too.
The biggest annoyance -- and it's a HUGE one -- is that you can't just zip up a directory of files like you can on VMWare. The virtual disks are separate from the virtual machines and all mapped in some XML file. ugh. This makes copying an entire VM from one machine to another a real PITA. I get some of the logic and flexibility of Sun's way, but honestly I think the pain isn't worth the benefit. Converting to .ovf isn't much help either. And ironically it seems to make a .vmdk file -- exactly what VMWare uses, so why not just do that in the first place!?
Overall VMware seems more polished, picture snapshots are great, recording video and screenshots are great. Multiple snapshots seems like a great idea, but honestly, I've never really used them much. They're too painfully slow to manage once you get a few. Deleting and consolidating is an exercise in patience and disk thrashing.
The one thing I WISH VMWare would do (or stop doing depending on how you look at it), is NOT load my XP up with 5 different services ALWAYS. They should load up when I launch VMWare, not sit there running and chewing up RAM/CPU when I'm not using a VM. It's stupid. I have a .bat script that I have to replace the icon launcher with every time I install it (which launches the services), and manually go tweak the services to stop running on startup.
Oh yeah, it would be great if BOTH of these guys would make the .vmdks (or .vdi for that matter) SHRINK too. It sucks that they only GROW LARGER. I want them to be more intelligent/dynamic. If I delete 5 GB worth of stuff from the VM, then my disk image should shrink by 5GB. Instead it stays the same! LAME. You have to jump through all these hoops to manually shrink them. And if you're using a Linux guest, then it's extremely cumbersome -- often times requiring setting up a new VM image and dd or tar or something into the new image. Grrrr.
In any event Virtual Machines are simply a modern miracle. It blows my mind every time I use one.
I believe that VirtualBox
I believe that VirtualBox supports something called Shared Folders. This is a functionality to "share" folders between the host and the guest, so directories from the host can be modified on the guest and vice versa. To transfer files from the guest to the host and back, it is as easy as copying and pasting into some folder.
I had high hopes for
I had high hopes for VirtualBox but was dissapointed by several things. VirtualBox is unusable for anything as serious as a simple LAN server deployment because they keep steaming ahead with fancy new features like OpenGL while in their "stable" release basics such as snapshotting don't work (maybe that's fixed now, it wasn't the only thing). They just need a Debian-style release cycle. It's not helping that they rename all the commands and syntax so often and there is insufficient documentation for them. Doing anything beyond the basics--e.g. networking--is just far too much effort. And even if you get it working, I can't trust it is going to be stable the way they release it, therefore I can't deploy it except on my desktop. The licence model of free vs. OSE is misleading and makes installs and maintenance annoying. Last I checked Sun isn't offering any support yet. Don't mean to be a Negative Nellie on VBox but it can't be taken very seriously yet; I hope they can sort some of their issues out soon to provide a real alternative to VMWare which is still the only realistic choice.
kvm is much faster then the
kvm is much faster then the other 2 dooohhh
The review seemed biased even to someone like me who has very limited experience with virtualization. It almost seemed like a VirtualBox promotional campaign. I fail to see why VBox got more points than VMWare. Though I would like to see KVM mature quickly to something more substantial but before that, after trying both products, I cannot see VBox preferred over VMWare.
biased??? hardley!
The author clearly indicated that he has been using VMWare for at least two years.
His comparison of the two products was just straight forward evaluation and dead on accurate.
I used to be a user/reseller for VMWare.
I have been using VirtualBox over VMWare for a while now.
I prefer VirtualBox in place of VMWare.
Just because you like VMWare better than VirtualBox doesn't make the article a promo for VirtualBox.
apt-get install virtualbox-ose
You article suggests that Virtualbox is not in the standard Ubuntu repositories. In fact, the Open Source Edition (OSE) *is* in the standard repo's (it's in the "universe" section). I use VB-OSE to run Winders, when I have to.
But if you need USB support, you'll have to download the package from Sun.
Alan Porter
Good article
This is a good article, but in the world of "free" virtualization, you are missing Xen and QEMU/KQEMU as they can be used for desktop class Linux machines also.
Just a small note... correct your title ;)
Desktop Virtualization is different from Server Virtualization
Desktop Virtualization is different from Server Virtualization. The author knows this and clearly stated he was looking at desktops.
Xen or QEMU aren't desktop virtualization tools and more than ESXi is, IMHO.
IMO, Xen is dying. I find that sad since my company runs a number of Xen servers with about 6 VMs under each. We're planning a migration, but haven't found a suitable path yet.
Good article but IMHO VirtualBox should be below the others specially VMware as the extra points that make it win are not free of cost.
I missed other virtualization solutions as OpenVZ and the promising Proxmox platform that, by the way, uses also KVM.

Police Have Suspect in Custody in Murder of 6-year-old
By: Jay Dillon
Updated: November 27, 2012
A 28-year-old man is behind bars accused of murdering a 6-year-old Bentonville girl. Police announced Monday night they'd arrested Zachary holly for the death of Jersey Bridgeman. Holly lived next to the Bridgemans on SE A Street and knew the family. Last week, Jersey's body was found just a few houses away from her own shortly after she was reported missing. Investigators received autopsy reports Monday from the state crime lab but have not yet released that information.
Police in Springdale are investigating a report of an armed robbery last Wednesday. Police say the man told them he was forced to stop on West End Street after two black cars blocked both lanes. He claims a white man got out of one of the cars, pointed a gun at his head and demanded money before taking off with a thousand dollars and an iPhone. The man told police the robber is in his 20's, wore a black hoodie with a slim build and has no facial hair or obvious scars or tattoos. If you have any information, contact Springdale Police.
Tuesday is Election Day for runoff elections in our area. Seven cities will have runoffs all for city council spots. Only people living in these particular wards can vote. Early voting began November 20th.
Parking in downtown Fayetteville pulling back into the spotlight. At Tuesday's city council meeting, three sites for a proposed parking deck will be considered. The WAC lot, which is located where the main Walton Arts Center parking lot is now, the theatre lot, where Grub's Bar and Grill is currently located, and the east lot, on School Avenue. City leaders will see the proposals Tuesday and make their selections next week. Once a site is selected, the city will secure funds for the project and construction could begin by the middle of next year.
Heads up to drivers your commute into Fayetteville could change in the next few months. The city is putting in a roundabout at Futrall Drive and North Hills Boulevard. Monday, traffic will be routed through the new intersection with temporary signs and road markers. But the project isn't finished yet; the off ramp from the Fulbright Expressway will be reduced to one lane to allow modifications to the ramp. This project is expected to last about two months.
After a few weeks of relief at the pump, gas prices are on the way back up and the holidays may be to blame. According to ArkansasGasPrices.com, the average retail gasoline prices in the Natural State have risen more than two cents per gallon, making the average $3.17/gallon. But it's still well below the national average which is $3.43/g.
Now that the first three big holiday shopping days are in the books, it's time to give. Tuesday is named "Giving Tuesday" and it's designed to make sure people remember to give to those in need. Whether it's money.. time, awareness, or some other type of support, non-profits across the country and Northwest Arkansas just hope you'll give back in some way.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission held a public hearing at the Richmond County Courthouse Wednesday night in Rockingham to hear the public's reaction to a rate hike proposed by Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.
The North Carolina Utilities Commission received an application from Carolina Power & Light Company, doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., requesting authority to adjust and increase its rates for retail electric service in North Carolina.
In this application, the company is requesting authority to increase its rates and charges to produce additional overall annual North Carolina retail base revenues of approximately $387 million, an increase of around 12 percent over current revenues. The company serves nearly 1.5 million retail customers in North and South Carolina.
At the meeting, which was held like a court proceeding, several members of the community were able to give testimony to the Utilities Commission. They were asked not to ask questions, and to only give short statements about the rate hike.
The first speaker was Rev. J.F. Kearns of Marston, who spoke on behalf of the Marston community. He said among 30 households, nearly 90 percent were retired.
"They are already having a difficult time paying their bills," said Kearns. "I think that a rate hike at this time would be devastating. That being said, I hope the rate hike helps Progress Energy sleep good tonight."
Dobbins Heights Mayor Antonio Blue said he agreed with Kearns.
"I know it takes a lot of money to run those large energy complexes, but in tough economic times, people can hardly buy food," said Blue. "We have about 800 people in Dobbins Heights, many of them are retired or disabled. Most of them are on fixed incomes. How can they pay their bills? It's the difference between eating, paying for medication or paying their power bills."
Charlene Morrow of Rockingham said she was speaking on behalf of her neighbors and friends in Rockingham who were struggling economically.
"I'm a customer of Progress Energy," said Morrow. "I'm on a fixed income. I'm 66 years old and I worked all my life but I don't get retirement from any company I ever worked for. All my life I paid into Social Security. My monthly income is less than $1,500 and I have to pay my drug plan, gas is over $3.50, and I have property taxes to pay. Today I got my power bill and it was $135. That's groceries at my house for two weeks. Unemployment in this county is in the double digits. I know I'm speaking for my neighbors and friends in Rockingham who wonder from month to month where the money is going to come from."
Richmond Community College's President Dale McInnis praised the partnership the school has developed with Progress Energy and said he was proud of the innovative curriculum that has been created around teaching substation relay technology, which the college identified a need for.
"This is a field no one else in the Southeast has and since last year our enrollment has tripled," said McInnis. "We're trying to match (power company) employers needs and now we are hearing from other employers like contractors. These are high paying, mobile jobs. Progress Energy has made a positive investment with us and we have a strong partnership."
McInnis was the only speaker who addressed the commission who did not mention the proposed rate hike.
The non-profit advocacy group Progress N.C. is raising concerns about whether or not people will hold Gov. Pat McCrory accountable for a potential conflict of interest that they said is rising from the proposed rate increase.
"Remember, Gov. McCrory worked at Duke Energy for almost three decades," said Gerrick Brenner of Progress N.C. "We also know that Gov. McCrory owns thousands of dollars in Duke Energy stock and rate hikes will improve the stock price."
According to Brenner, Senate Bill 10, a measure making its way through the state legislature, would fire all existing members of the State Utilities Commission and give Gov. McCrory the power to appoint a whole new board. Brenner said SB10 has been roundly criticized by independent observers and said the Charlotte Observer called it "one of the more blatant power grabs in state history" and the Greensboro News & Record said it was a "shameless, disruptive attempt to grab power."
"This sweeping, unprecedented power grab by a power mad group of state lawmakers and the Governor would place special interests above the interests of regular citizens and electricity ratepayers," said Brenner. "The biggest winner would be the state's leading power company, a major campaign contributor and former McCrory employer, Duke Energy."
Meanwhile, North Carolina AARP Director Doug Dickerson is concerned about seniors living on fixed incomes that are already making difficult choices between food, gas, health care and other household expenses.
"These hikes will matter to the household budgets of seniors which make up 1.1 million members of AARP," said Dickerson on Wednesday before the meeting. "Some people can afford this, but most people can't. We're going to fight the Utilities Commission to be able to pay whatever a fair rate would be and not a dime more."
According to Dickerson, if the Utilities Commission is wiped clean and replaced in the coming weeks, the rate hikes could favor the power companies and the stock holders, and if the Utilities Commission isn't replaced, "there will be no commission and the highest rate hikes will go into effect." Dickerson said it is a lose-lose situation.
According to the Utilities Commission, another public hearing will be held in Raleigh on March 18, for which the information is now being gathered.
