- Best product for PMS Review by Jess
I have tried many other product but this is by far the best!
(Posted on 6/06/18)
- Works for Me Review by Avril
This has really helped with my PMS symptoms which were quite bad. Have been taking one per day, no breast tenderness, reduced mood swings and no cramping. My period sneaks up on me now, where before I would definitely know it was coming with all the symptoms.

- Haven't found anything better Review by Shirley
I really do love this product. As I suffer from horrendous PMS I have tried heaps of PMS tabs over the years but this one is the best for me. As I tell my family, "These fantastic tablets make me nice to be around". They keep my moods level & I just feel so much calmer and less headaches etc, overall. Thanks healthpost for making them more affordable.

- Great Product Review by Melissa
I have been using this more or less consistently for the last 12 months or so. I really notice a big difference when I run out and forget to order more. For me it significantly reduces the PMS symptoms, both physical and emotional, it makes me feel and behave more human :-) and reduces the cramping etc. during my period. I would definitely recommend trying this product.

It's the Manicure Monday time!
For today Mani Monday is the Deborah Lippmann " Tip Toe Through The Tulips " from the Spring Summer 2014 collection. I got this sent from the lovely people at Deborah Lippmann office in Singapore for a review and I am loving it.
Although the colors may appear to be quite subtle for my liking, I am actually quite surprised on the lovely comments I got from friends and people I met about this color.
..and yeah, after so many positive comments I received and another glance of my nail..actually this colors is really beautiful.
It is soft and feminine and pretty much a kind of nail polish you can wear it anywhere in any occasion. Be it office, party, class, everywhere! It doesn't put too much statement on your nails yet keep it pretty and poise.
Available at Takashimaya Dept Store - Gift box area.
Selling retail at $33.

"Carbon Sciences is the furthest along in the CO2 to fuel business" USA Today
Editors note: Carbon Sciences Inc (CABN-OTC) is developing a new breed of "Nano-Reactor" that should revolutionize the nascent carbon capture and conversion industry allowing for the commercialization of converting carbon emissions (from coal and oil fired industries and from natural gas ie: from landfills) directly into usable gasoline, "without" using high energy heat.
The company has already demonstrated it's technology works, and expects to have a working reactor by the end of Q3 2010. The sector is now referred to as Gas to Liquids or "GTL" and it is growing. The company's president, Byron Elton, was recently interviewed by Ally Velchie on CNN Business and that interview can be found at: http://www.carbonsciences.com/01/youtubeplayer.html
Until now, Carbon capture, and storage has been the high fruit for a number of new companies rushing to get even a small piece of the growing, multibillion dollar industry of cleaning up our coal, oil and natural gas power plants, as well as the millions of businesses who dump carbon into the atmosphere every day. But what if you could not only capture that carbon, but turn it into a usable product with an immediate market?
A small California company, Carbon Sciences Inc. has announced a truly ground breaking technology that, not only utilizes the carbon being released from these entities, but actually turns it into usable fuel, much like mother nature does over a million years, but doing it a lot quicker. Actually, within hours of the carbon capture. Basically, they say they can convert dirty air and dirty water, into an immediately usable fuel such as methanol, gasoline, jet fuel or diesel, doing what mother nature does, only a million times faster.
Needless to say, I was very intrigued by the market potential of such a process. Multi-Billion dollar markets in renewable energy and carbon reduction, heretofore two separate markets, could bring this small company immense wealth in the coming years, if the technology allows commercial application on a large scale, so I dug a little further.
Carbon Sciences recently announced it had invented a nano-scale reactor that functions like a highly efficient artificial microorganism that contains a proprietary enzyme process and serves a single purpose – to absorb CO2 molecules and excrete fuel molecules.
This nano reactor, called Smart Particle, is the key to achieving a fast reaction time and industrial scale up of the company's CO2-to-Fuel process. The patent application for Smart Particle Technology contains the detailed design of Smart Particles as well as a proprietary manufacturing process where they self-assemble in solution without any external nano-manufacturing.
What I found most interesting is that, other companies racing to perfect similar processes, are utilizing immense heat to produce the same result. Up until now, high heat was necessary to do this. What Carbon Sciences appears to have is a ground breaking process that completely eliminates the need for generating high heat to complete the process and thereby eliminating the need for energy to produce energy. It is truly a novel idea with huge potential around the world. Carbon Sciences will be targeting the markets in the USA and China in it's initial push for a share of this market.

For a video, explaining the process, the Bio-Catalytic conversion and the Nano Reactor, click on: video
The CEO of Carbon Sciences Inc., Byron Elton, explains his company's focus, and the new process in this interview.
Applying Carbon Sciences' patent-pending technology in a laboratory scale prototype last year, the company successfully transformed a stream of CO2 gas into methanol fuel. The demonstration prototype uses Carbon Sciences' innovative bio-catalytic process to break down CO2 and water, then combines the carbon and hydrogen to form methanol, a low level liquid fuel. The resulting methanol is directly usable as a fuel, or it can be used to build higher-level fuels such as gasoline, butanol and jet fuel. In January the company announced that is now able to produce gasoline directly from their process.
After successfully completing technology design and simulations, Carbon Sciences submitted a patent application, "A Bio-catalytic Process and System to Transform Carbon Dioxide into Methanol" to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 17, 2009.According to Beacon Equity Research [.pdf], Carbon Sciences is developing a breakthrough technology for transforming harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the basic fuel building blocks required to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other portable fuels. Carbon Sciences program plan is to use CO2 as a feedstock for producing portable fuels and simultaneously address the world's energy and environmental challenges. The firm's technology takes CO2 from coal-fired power plants and other large CO2 emitters and transforms it into portable fuels.
From the companies officers:
We always wanted to produce high-level fuels, such as gasoline, but knew that additional steps would be required to reach this goal. Now, we have the way to go directly to gasoline.
The United Nations' IPCC estimates that the cost of simply capturing CO2 for applications, such as underground sequestration or transformation into products, can range from $45 to $73 per ton of CO2. This cost is perhaps the single biggest economic barrier to any large-scale CO2 applications, such as carbon sequestration. However, by being able to use a raw CO2 flue gas stream in our CO2-to-Fuel technology, we are no longer dependent on the success or commercial availability of carbon capture systems. In addition, unlike bio fuels based on growing plants to absorb CO2 from the air, our CO2-to-Fuel process is an industrial process that can produce fuel in minutes to hours, not months to years, to meet the demands of the world.We are very excited about these new processes. Our end-to-end CO2 to fuel system will have several modules. We have determined that one of these modules can function as a standalone system for use by a sizable part of the energy industry for the production of gasoline. Inquiries from potential strategic partners have further validated our decision to focus on this module. We are anticipating a shorter than normal development cycle for this module and are hoping to achieve commercialization in less than one year.
—Byron Elton, CEO of Carbon Sciences
—Dr. Naveed Aslam, Chief Technology Officer
Carbon Sciences hopes to develop a commercially-attractive package by the third quarter of 2010 and are exploring a "strategic partnership" to take the process--and the company--to the next phase. They have also applied for DOE technology funding under the category of "Innovative Concepts for Beneficial Uses of CO2".
Disclosure: I bought some Carbon Sciences Stock on Friday, as it spiked while the markets were in full fear mode. I thought I'd get in before the rush. Sure, it's a penny stock, but so was RIMM at one time. If it only goes to .50 our profit will be 500% in a very short time frame.
The company is listed on the Nasdaq OCBB as CATB

Note: If you are experiencing issues syncing orders between your WooCommerce store and Shippo, please first disable any new plugins you may have enabled. We have seen several cases where an improperly-configured plugin caused sync issues with Shippo. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do in these cases.
Shippo provides an out-of-the-box integration with WooCommerce. When your WooCoomerce store is connected to Shippo, your order details will be imported to Shippo. When you create a label in Shippo, we update the fulfillment status in WooCommerce and push the tracking number to WooCommerce. When you change an address in WooCommerce, the change will sync to Shippo. If you change the order status in WooCommerce, we will update that in Shippo as well.
WooCommerce does not have a specific field for tracking numbers, Shippo places it in the "Order Notes" section of each order.
How to Connect
There are only a couple of steps to connect Shippo with your WooCommerce store:
1. From the "Connect" page in Shippo, click "Edit" next to WooCoomerce
2. Enter your store name and URL, then click "Connect with WooCommerce"
3. You'll be taken to a page within WooCommerce where you'll need to approve the permissions that Shippo needs to operate (i.e. import your orders, send back tracking numbers, etc.). You must click "Approve".
4. Once you approve the connection, you'll be taken back to your Orders page in Shippo, where you'll now see your WooCommerce orders!
Troubleshooting Checklist
1. Verify that the store URL is the base URL of the store. It should not have added paths like /admin, be misspelled, etc.
2. Latest version of the WooCommerce plugin is required. It must be version 2.6 or higher to work with Shippo.
3. Verify your credentials. Occasionally wrong credentials will be accepted by the setup screen, but the order sync will not work. No error will be shown.
3a. Check that the role of the account used to connect with Shippo has the role "Administrator"
3b. Check that the permissions for the account used to connect with Shippo have the permission "Read/Write"
4. If you are getting 404 or 403 errors. These errors typically mean there is a problem with permissions or routing. If you're getting 404 errors, please check your .htaccess file to make sure you can access your WooCommerce installation at the URL you provided to Shippo. If you're getting 403 errors, please check the permissions of the files on your server to make sure they can be accessed via the web.
5. Enable REST API in your WooCommerce plugin. Within your Wordpress admin, go to the WooCommerce section, click Settings, go to the API tab and make sure "Enable the REST API" is checked. If you don't have an API tab, you need to upgrade your WooCommerce plugin - Shippo works with version 2.6 and higher.
6. Check your REST API settings by visiting the version end-point by adding /wp-json/wc/v1 to your store URL (this path depends on your store configuration). In the page header of your response, you need to check HTTP response and Content-Type. You should receive a HTTP response 200 and Content-Type application/json.
Below is an example using "curl" to get the page header of the version end-point.
"$> curl -I http://mystore/wp-json/wc/v1
Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2017 16:52:17 GMT
Server: Apache
Allow: GET
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8"
7. Verify your "permalinks" in Wordpress are set up correctly. Go to your Wordpress settings, click Permalinks, and make sure it's set to "Post Name." You can only use Shippo if your permalinks are set to "Post Name."
If you are still having trouble connecting your WooCommerce store, please contact support.

Post subject: Malfunction Indicator Light Trouble
Hi. Firstly I wish I said hi a few weeks ago after buying a 2000 model GV, second generation Petrol model vehicle which has covered just 71k with full Suzuki History, with bills and Im very very happy and proud to own it. Shes my baby!
But just a few hours ago coming home from work drove over a bumpy bridge and noticed I had the MIL light stay on. Now this could have been a coincidence going over this bridge but thought Id mention it anyway. The other thing I will mention is that on starting her up she idles at 1.5k for a few minutes then she comes down to 5-6k and ticks over perfectly.Is this normal - I thought this was for a GV.
Do you guys think any of the above are related to the MIL? If not, does my car have the right facility where I can read the fault code myself using the flashing MIL light to give the code?or codes? Where would the plug be in egine bay and what does it look like? Middle top pin too bottom left pin (are they colour coded) to save confusion if thats correct?
I would like to solve this myself If I can so If anyone can give me some help that would be great. Apologise if this post is in the wrong section also I did try looking through some posts but was getting blurred vision after reading so many lol.

You can pick up a fault code scanner/ reader for under £30 these days on ebay.
The connector you plug this into is under the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel, looks a bit like a scart connector, if you get down in the drivers side from outside and look up under the dash next to the centre console.
Mine is a GV1600 (2001) and the light was on all the time, connected my dad's scanner and it picked up a faulty Oxygen sensor No 1, which I picked up a replacement for around £40 and fitted, reset the light and fixed it.
One thing to mention, is try resetting it first and see if it comes back on as they can sometimes flash up a fault in error.
You can reset it by using the scanner or disconnect your battery for around 10 minutes or so.

Thanks flookyk, saw your post and others on different section. Found a plug under fuses when looking at engine bay its on the right just before the battery. Dont know if this is the right plug but anyway connected two contacts together as described on rhinopwer.org but had no luck getting light to blink, it just stayed on.
Just before doing that I had disconnected the battery for less than 10 mins and while waiting for time to slip by I was looking for this plug which I still hadnt found at this time. So when I found this plug I quickly reconnected the battery and then went through the procedure of looping out the plug with the test wire.
Started the car up later after giving up trying to get the code to show up and was surprised to find the MIL light had vanished and was not on!! Would have liked to know if I had found the right plug in the first place, but was surprised to discover that just the short period of time the battery was off had reset the ECU. Will still go hunting for the plug just incase its not the right one but need confirmation of this as somepeople have said I should have had the six pin not a four pin. So will update tomorrow now with more news when I have some. Think I will have to get a fault code reader anyway. Thanks again.

Le Querce in Honor Oak for Beck's birthday, just over the road from Babur where we went for her first birthday we were together. I don't like to travel too far.
Last Saturday was also the night of the Blackheath firework display so I'd arranged a late booking to allow us to watch some fireworks from nearby Blythe Hill before dinner. The Blackheath display started ten minutes late, and I had a few moments thinking I'd dragged us up a hill on a cold night for no reward. But it turned out to be a good vantage point with beautifully clear sweeping views of the city. We were able to see both the Blackheath and Alexandra Palace displays pretty well and had the Crystal Palace display booming behind has as well.
The restaurant was full when we arrived and we were seated on a small table between two other couples. Luckily one of them was just finishing up which allowed us a bit more room once they'd left.
We almost didn't order starters, but I'm pleased we selected the salame, carasau e formaggio to share from the special menu. The hard cheese had a lightly smoked flavour, while the small serving of soft cheese had a heavenly texture. It was much smoother and creamier than a mozzarella or burrata. Beck's likened the texture to Dairly Lee triangles. I'd said the cheese we had yielded a little more, but it was a pretty accurate description, although gives completely the wrong impression of the quality!
My main of hake was also from the specials menu. The large serving of hake flaked apart and was served with a fresh tomato sauce and cauliflower. The drizzle of salsa verde gave we welcome lift and freshness and I would have liked more of it.
The star reason for going to Le Querce in my view is for their extensive selection of homemade ice creams and sorbets which are frankly, fantastic. We both went for three scoops. My tactic was to go for something classic - chocolate - a little different - pineapple and mint - and them something a bit more out there - Banana, Cardamom and Ginger. (Ok, so it wasn't completely out there, but I wasn't up for the onion and garlic.)
The star of my plate was the pineapple and mint while the standout on Beck's plate was the strawberry and cassis.
The service was a little slow towards the end of the night, but you can forgive them a lot when the ice creams are that good. It was good value too.

I learnt this morning that in the 'Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill' a centuries old right is quitely being taken away from the British people. At the moment any British person who feels a wrong has been done against them can present the evidence to a Magistrate for an arrest warrant to be issued against another person followed by the evidence being examined in court to see if the person is guilty of what you claim against them. As the article says:
The right of private prosecution existed well before public bodies were instituted to take over some of the burden in prosecuting criminals – the DPP in 1879 and the Crown Prosecution Service in 1985. The right has been affirmed repeatedly in the courts and in parliament. Several cases have demonstrated that it remains a necessary bulwark against inaction on the part of the state, whether that inaction be driven by scarce resource or the desire to mollify its allies.
Over the last ten years ten applications have been made under this process and two warrants isued. The article goes on to say:
The last warrant issued was for Tzipi Livni, the former Israeli foreign minister, for her actions in Operation Cast Lead, Israel's actions in the Gaza War. The UN commissioned an investigation, which found major breaches of international humanitarian law on both sides. She was not covered by diplomatic immunity while in the UK as she was here for a fundraiser. All this despite the fact that if she had really wanted to come here and be immune to prosecution, all Israel would have to do was designate her trip a "Special Mission" and under the terms of the Convention on Special Missions, she would have been free to travel, as affirmed in case law. Her refusal to travel was, essentially, a stunt. And since then the lobbying to change our laws has been shrill and incessant.
There are other remedies to deal with vexatious use of this right but they are not being taken. Instead the Director of Public Prosecutions will have to approve the process bringing them into a potentially very difficult political area. Instead the Government could:
- Raising the evidential requirements beyond prima facie to some higher standard, closer to the requirements of the Full Code Test for the CPS;
- Requiring notice to the CPS so they can present arguments in court, as happens in Canada for such cases;
- Enshrining diplomatic immunities (which are a mix of statutory and customary international law) in domestic law to clarify (despite the fact rulings such as Pinochet in the House of Lords and much case law since then makes it quite clear ministers on official business are immune to arrest) for all that diplomacy can be done.
Protest to your MP now to stop this removal of an important safeguard for the individual against the state. See the relevant part of the Bill here.(Scroll down to section 151, the relevant part)

American Brown Bear Diamond Self Bow Tie
When designing animal print Diamond Bow Ties Self-Ties, we do a quick trip to the Amazon rainforest. It tends to help with our design process. Upon going, we discover that American Brown Bears don't even exist in the Amazon rainforest and instead, we get a plane ticket home and hit the books.
A quick check of the Animal Encyclopedia informs us of the rest and there begins our design process.
Our hand-sewn method allows the American Brown Bear Diamond Self-Tie Bow to exhibit extraordinary detail as there is little machinery used in the crafting of this tie. Touches such as these make all the difference. Bears have an excellent sense of smell, better than dogs or possibly any other mammal. The American Brown Bear Diamond Bow Ties Self-Tie exudes sophistication and is hand cut and sewn on a classic navy backing. Designed exclusively by The Brothers at OTAA.

The first is found at: http://asimplejew.blogspot.com/2008/01/question-answer-with-dixie-yid-teaching.html, which deals with the difficult topic of teaching children painful lessons from the Chumash (Teaching Sensitive Topics In Chumash) while the second, which was first posted as a comment to the above entry and then reposted as a separate blog, is found at: http://asimplejew.blogspot.com/2008/01/hide-what-you-want-him-to-seek.html.
Yasher koach to both Dixie Yid and Gandalin on their insightful shiurim.
For another lesson on the topic of teaching children (what the Alter Rebbe, Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Lubavitch, call Chinuch HaKatan), just tune into http://dixieyid.blogspot.com/2008/01/guest-post-by-rabbi-chaim-morgenstern.html.

PLOT: Opening days after the zombie outbreak, George A. Romero's SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD finds 'Nicotine' Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) and his gang of rogue soldiers continuing their renegade antics. Meanwhile on Plum Island, off the coast of Delaware, two feuding Irish clans (the O'Flynns and the Muldoons) disagree on what to do with their walking dead clansmen. When they all come together hell of the human and zombie variety breaks loose.
REVIEW: Abandoning most all deeply layered subtext, Romero has made his pulpiest, most on-the-nose zombie movie yet. The movie switches between zombie horror, Western drama and zany comedy with sometimes jarring effect. Treading ground he established very clearly early on in the DEAD series, Romero continues to drive the point home that mankind's reaction to the zombie outbreak is as dangerous (if not more so) than the plague itself. What results is a thoroughly enjoyable zombie film filled with enough gooey effects to please horror fans and a decent plot with new characters in Romero's zombie world.
The main issue driving the plot here is the inability of the O'Flynns and the Muldoons to agree on a way to deal with their dead-and-now-walking relatives. Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Walsh) is for all intents and purposes on the side of the audience – he wants to see them blown to squishy bits. Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick) is the optimist and is convinced that a cure is on the way and their loved ones should be shackled until that time. O'Flynn is banished and sent to the mainland where he runs into a familiar face.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD marks the first time a DEAD series character has appeared in a subsequent film. You'll likely remember Crocket as the renegade solider that had a run-in with the fleeing film crew in DIARY. Here, he joins O'Flynn in his return to Plum Island where chained zombies are pantomiming remembered bits of life (a la LAND) and the Muldoons are still hell-bent on preserving their ancestry. As with all Romero films this budding tension is the sparking point for an ending involving gruesome zombie mayhem.
The film is an interesting mash up of genres and works in whole more often than it doesn't. It is respectfully directed (on RED One cameras) and its modest budget isn't constantly apparent. The acting all around is exactly what it needs to be to be a mostly serious horror film with a standout performance by Kenneth Walsh (TWIN PEAKS) as Patrick O'Flynn. The non-horror elements of the plot hinge on the interestingness of the warring clan plot and the actors carry it well and the movie rarely drags in that regard. The zombie action is delightfully playful at times and sometimes downright gross. My hat is off to effects guru Francois Dagenais. Romero and his effects crew seem to have an endless well of undead destroying ideas.
There are a few things that do not entirely work. First, the score is forgettable and I wish for the immediately recognizable works of the original DEAD trilogy. Secondly, some of the comedic moments are jarring and borderline slapstick. A few of them work well and are real crowd pleasers; but others stand firmly on the groaner side of things. Finally (and this one is pretty big and I must remain vague) George has introduced a new "rule" into his zombie universe. I'm not going to ruin what that rule is, but it rests in a major plot point near the end of the film. The problem with it, though, is that it makes one wonder why the rule was never in effect in other branches of Romero's universe. The new revelation is big enough that even with his intention of going back and starting from the beginning (starting with DIARY) and going to different places with his series, one can't help but think this is too big of an introduction to not have impact on previous entries.
Looking past the above flaws, the movie is genuinely fun for the most part. This brings me to the hardest thing about reviewing this film. The overwhelming expectation and anticipation for this film is as an entry into a long standing series by a profoundly influential filmmaker. However, the film should be reviewed on its own merits. We have to trek through the landscape of the positives and negatives of SURVIAL OF THE DEAD and land on one score. So really, I've just negated the whole rule issue above. We can't fault the film for violation of the creators own rules because, even though this is a series, each part of this series is a standalone film.
Going on that, the film is fun. It's a good film but I question its replay ability. While the acting is strong enough to propel you through this adventure the first time, the lack of any deeper layers to the proceedings means the dramatic plot elements (the Western in this film) won't play as well a second time around. Regardless of the director's own creation of this entire universe, here he adds nothing new to it. The zombie action is very good and the movie deserves much credit for that. Finally, the comedy elements hit just a few too many wrong notes to say that the comic relief is worthy of adding any major dynamic. So, the film is a fun but ultimately forgettable mish-mash, comic book romp. It's recommended for anyone of the genre. For fans of Romero in particular, though, satisfaction of another masterpiece is still out of reach.

I wanted to post somewhat of a discussion starter around some of the new technologies that ASP.NET has recently released.
This technology has one huge benefit of allowing you to do unit testing on your site. But there are also a number of other advantages to it, for example, you can have a web page call commands inside a controller. This allows multiple pages to call the same command which helps keep things clean. It also does a pretty good job of separating the code from the presentation layer. But I did find myself doing a lot of coding like I used to with classic ASP or even IDC where we loop through results and have <%= %> snippets all over the aspx page.
These technologies have really opened the door to a lot more asynchronous commands on the web. They allow you to do lots of small submissions and updates without the need to submit and refresh the whole page.
This is a really interesting new functionality in that it really isn't anything new but just a way of collecting things in a cleaner way. The way it is designed really gives us an ability to do things that you generally don't consider doing. For example, you can make images clickable without having any link code in the html. It can also give some interesting ways to hide some of your IP (although they can always see it using something like netmon).
I think with Silverlight 3, we have really raised the bar for making Silverlight a choice for developing an application. Especially if you combine it with RIA, there are a lot of great applications of Silverlight that before would be much harder to create. I know Silverlight 3 is just in developer beta, but I have been using it quite a bit lately and I think it is really going to change things. The deep linking and search engine optimization functionality really help make this a good solution as well.
So when would you use which?
That is what I'd like to hear from everyone. If you have a page, when do you decide that you should do something async? When do you decide that you should just submit the entire page? Have you considered using Silverlight yet? What functionality makes it attractive to you? Is it the off-line functionality?
My take
I wanted to give some of my thoughts on these things, but remember that they are just thoughts as a lot of these technologies I haven't used enough to know which is best for what situation.
I think that most of these technologies allow for very fast creation of a site. I think a lot of it boils down to what you are comfortable with or what you have available. If you have designers at your disposal, Silverlight is a great choice as they can create the Xaml to make your application look amazing.
I think one of the powerful things about MVC is that you can combine it with AJAX, jQuery, JSON to get a bunch of these things in the same application. But it still is a question as to when to use what. For me, I really like using jQuery to control the UI and then have it call commands through AJAX/JSON. It also allows you to update a page with new content without having to refresh the page. Which makes the user experience a lot cleaner.
As for Silverlight, in general I think it is a wildcard out of the bunch. You can do all the same things you can with these other technologies but within the same framework. So I think if you want to have the best of all worlds and learn the smallest amount, this may be a good way to go.
So what are your thoughts? And do you have any other functionality that you would like that see that isn't available yet?

Between 6 and 11 December in 1931, a remarkable meeting occurred between Mahatma Gandhi, the French intellectual and international pacifist Romain Rolland, and Madeleine Slade, the daughter of a British admiral. The encounter took place in Switzerland, after Gandhi had left the unsuccessful second Round-Table Conference on India in London. They came together through the good offices of Slade (re-named Mira Behn by Gandhi), who had been given as a 'gift' by Rolland to the Mahatma, and who now lived at the centre of Gandhi's intimate entourage.
I will use this meeting to explore how the protagonists sought spiritual and aesthetic solutions to the encroaching global crisis, and to analyse the place of French intellectual culture in a worldwide interwar context. Rolland's analysis of European and world affairs was ultimately ignored or misunderstood by the leader of the Indian national struggle, while the Frenchman also misconstrued Gandhi's doctrine of non-violence (ahimsa). Although they shared many spiritual hopes, Rolland wish that Gandhi would take up the pacifist struggle against European fascism was proved a fantasy. In addition, neither man could appreciate the intimate yearnings of the aristocratic English woman whose personality was effaced by their explicit desire to make her a human bridge between East and West.
The connections between Rolland, Gandhi and Slade provide a way to examine the many links between world political systems, novel social experiments and individual spiritualities. Rolland's privileged place as Gandhi's French (and European) interlocutor reveals their mutual attempt to recover spirituality in order to bring the globe back from the brink of self-destruction. Their inability to align their efforts demonstrates the minefields of shifting political alignments and the problems posed by immense cultural divides.
