I've heard about US legalization and Washington express visas. So I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with either one of them? Or which one would you recommend for apostilles? I've done some research and US legalization is $20 cheaper than Washington express visa, but if it's just that...I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if their service is better. Also US legalization is not located in DC, will that delay the apostille time?

Sent it out via Fedex on a Tuesday, got there on Thursday. They apostilled it on Friday. And I just got it back. So it took only about a week. If you wanted to chip the extra for next day shipping both ways, i'm sure you could have it back a lot quicker. Back to top emetibJoined: 27 Dec 2009Location: Somewhere between sanity and insanity.

Would probably take faster if FBI had sent the CBC to US Auth instead of to me in Korea (not to mention have saved me a fedex fee). I thought the pricing was fairly reasonable too, considing that in my state (NV) to have the same turn-around time it cost about $75-$125 at the SoS, and these guys only charged $65.

The FBI provides a background check. It is an official document. It is not enough on its own, however, to be acceptable for the South Korean government's E2 visa requirements. The E2 is the type of visa foreign teachers of English get to legally enter the country and teach. That Criminal Background Check (CBC) must be sent or taken to the US Department of State in Washington, DC to receive an Apostille, a further certification that your document has been reviewed and approved for use between countries participating in the Hague Convention. The CBC goes to the State Department. The State Department reviews it and attaches their paperwork to it and you have an officially sanctioned document. The State Department does not provide the CBC. The FBI does not provide the Apostille. Two separate agencies doing two separate things so you can receive an E2 visa.

The problem is which do you want quick or cheap? You can not have both. Those services are useful as the companies go into the office and get them signed. Those that send in may have to wait a week or more as the paper sits on a desk and get looked at later when they feel like it.

Anti-Cancer Foods and Supplements
Cancer is, perhaps, one of our greatest fears. Compounding our concern about contracting the disease is the fear of treatment. Few medical treatments inflict so much toxicity, mutilation and pain on the human body. Once a diagnosis is made, a person's life will never be the same.
Even when treatment is successful, a person can be disfigured from the effects, and parts of their body destroyed. The chance of a recurrence is ever present and years after successful treatment, cancer can come back even more virulent than before. Even after enduring conventional therapy, a large number of cancer patients still succumb from cancer cells that escaped the initial treatment.
A cancer diagnosis humbles a person of any means. Hospital gowns don't look any better on rich people than they do on poor, and chemotherapy feels the same. The degree of inconvenience, disruption and destruction of not only the ill person's life, but of those around them, should give any person pause to consider what they can do to avoid it.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) issued an unprecedented number of press releases in the year 2002 stating that diet has a major impact on cancer. Deleting things from one's diet, as well as adding to it makes all the difference. What follows is some of the research behind the NCI's announcements-research that is convincing mainstream scientists to take another look at the anti-cancer benefits of compounds that occur naturally.
What you choose to eat largely determines whether or not you will get cancer. In his book Eat to Beat Cancer, J. Robert Hatherill points out that Japanese smoke like crazy (more than Americans), yet have the world's lowest rate of lung cancer. They also have the greatest life expectancy on earth. Clearly, they're doing something right. While there are many factors that affect longevity, the one that researchers are currently focusing on is diet. We know that diet plays a big role in cancer. It has been estimated that bad diet is responsible for 60% of all cancers. A good diet can prevent 20% to 50% of all cancers, according to most estimates.
What is a "good diet?" Research shows that it's a diet high in plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes). A "bad diet" is one that's mostly animal-based foods (meat, dairy products) and synthetic food (prepackaged "convenience" food). Plants contain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that block, stop and suppress cancer. Animal-based food contains the highest concentration of cancer-causing chemicals that humans are exposed to, along with saturated fat and lots of calories. "Convenience food" is more product than food-full of calories, mostly devoid of nutrition. It's also contaminated with many chemicals that make it look good on the shelf.
Research into diet and cancer is getting so advanced that scientists are beginning to link what a person eats with the type of cancer they get. Other researchers are going the other way: pinpointing specific things in the diet that prevent cancer from occurring. For example, researchers at the University of Utah investigated the connection between carotenoids and colon cancer. They found that lutein, but not other carotenoids, is associated with lower risk. Similarly, researchers in the Netherlands found that folate, vitamin C and beta-cryptoxanthin (but not lutein and other carotenoids) are protective against lung cancer. The information from these kinds of studies is stacking up.
Phytochemicals (naturally occurring in plants) are the main defense against all types of cancer. As an example of how powerful they can be, it was recently estimated that prostate cancer in Greece could be reduced by two-fifths by merely increasing the consumption of two things: tomatoes and olive oil. (Dairy products should be simultaneously decreased, according to the report.) Another group reports that over 51% of ovarian cancers could be avoided if women would eat more green vegetables. This is an amazing figure. It underscores the tremendous impact diet can have on cancer.
Phytochemicals have different actions and different ways of protecting against cancer. Most are antioxidant, in other words, they scavenge damaging free radicals. This action also protects DNA. Others protect methylation which is critical for the activation of cancer-suppressing genes. Still others enhance immunity or impede the growth of abnormal cells.
Antioxidants and cancer
Human bodies are constantly exposed to chemicals, radiation and other phenomena that generate free radicals. Free radicals rip through cell membranes and slam into DNA, damaging it. Cancer cells are essentially normal cells that contain damaged DNA. Antioxidants stop free radicals and reduce DNA damage. This is why they are a major defense against cancer.
All antioxidants are not all the same. Some are better at stopping certain kinds of free radicals than others. For example, I3C (indole-3-carbinol) and a supplement known as "chlorophyllin" (a semi-synthetic version of chlorophyll) have excellent effects against free radicals generated by chemicals called heterocyclic amines. Heterocyclic amines are created when food, especially meat, is cooked over high heat. Studies show that I3C and chlorophyllin can stop this type of free radical up to 100%.
They can also protect against the highly-carcinogenic mycotoxin known as "aflatoxin." Aflatoxin is produced by a fungus that infects grains, notably corn. In studies on rodents, both I3C and chlorophyllin inhibit liver cancer caused by this toxin. A study from a region of China where the incidence of liver cancer is very high shows that 100 mg of chlorophyllin three times a day reduces DNA damage caused by aflatoxin by 55%. The researchers predict that taking this supplement will push back the onset of this type of cancer from 20 years to 40.
I3C and chlorophyllin work in another related way. They keep the liver from metabolizing carcinogens, including heterocyclic amines. It is the body's own metabolism of the chemicals in its effort to detoxify them that makes them carcinogenic. I3C apparently works through one type of enzyme, while chlorophyllin works through another. A combination of the two may eliminate more radicals than either alone.
Some antioxidants are better at preventing certain types of cancer than others. Vitamin C, for example, can inhibit skin cancer by 25% to 50% when applied directly to the skin. It does not have the same effect against breast or prostate cancer. But lycopene, a flavonoid from tomatoes, has antioxidant activity against prostate cancer. Beta-carotene, a carotenoid, appears to protect against breast cancer, but not against lung cancer. Having this type of information about specific antioxidants can help a person choose one that may target a certain type of cancer, or target a specific type of carcinogen. For those without risk for any particular type of cancer or exposure to any specific chemical, it would be prudent to take a variety of anitoxidants in order to block as many types of free radicals as possible.
Carotenoids and cancer
Studies show that people who eat a lot of red, orange, green and yellow vegetables have a significantly decreased risk of various cancers. The protective effect is due to carotenoids. Most people are familiar with the carotenoid beta-carotene, found in carrots. There are, however, hundreds of other carotenoids-some not even discovered yet. There is lutein in spinach, zeaxanthin in corn and lycopene in tomatoes. One of the purposes of carotenoids is to act as sunscreen for the plants they occur in. It's not surprising then, that carotenoids provide antioxidant protection, especially against free radicals generated by radiation.
Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid in humans. The prostate gland alone contains 14 to 18 different metabolites of lycopene in people who eat tomatoes or other vegetables that contain it. Studies show that men who get the most lycopene in their diet have the lowest risk of prostate cancer. The two largest studies involve 14,000 Seventh-Day Adventists (lacto-ovo vegetarians) and 47,894 American physicians. In the physician study, men with the highest level of lycopene in their blood had a 20% reduction in risk. In the Adventist study, eating tomatoes more than five times a week reduced risk of prostate cancer by 40%. Lycopene is good at protecting lymphocytes from DNA damage. In an Italian study, 7 mg/day of lycopene reduced DNA damage 50% in the first week.
Carotenoids work synergistically. Taking several together is better than taking one alone. In the now infamous study where smokers took beta-carotene supplements and nothing else, risk of lung cancer actually rose. But a 30% reduction was found in a study of 100,000 people who ate a variety of carotenoids on a consistent basis rather than just one. A 60% reduction was found in the same study for non-smokers. It appears that alpha-carotene, not beta-carotene, is the best carotenoid against lung cancer.
Folic acid and cancer
This vitamin has been involved in so many important cancer studies that it stands in a class of its own. Folic acid (the vitamin version of folate) is a B vitamin typically found in certain green vegetables and legumes. Meat contains very little of it. A serving of steak, for example, contains 3% of the RDA, while a serving of broccoli contains 50%.
Folate has powerful cancer preventive effects through its role in maintaining methylation. Methylation has two powerful roles in preventing cancer. First, it is crucial for the repair of mutations. Second it is crucial for the activation and deactivation of genes involved in cancer. Folate is one of the required factors for methylation. Without it, methylation will fail, and cancer will result. Abnormal methylation is present in all cancers, no matter the type. The critical importance of folate, then, becomes apparent.
Lung and colon cancer are the first cancers to be linked to folate deficiency. Breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer involve the deficiency as well. Alcoholism, folate deficiency and breast cancer go together. The same is true for colon cancer-alcoholism exacerbates folate deficiency.
Research into the folate-cancer connection is just beginning. More information about folate's cancer preventive effects will undoubtedly emerge in the next few years.
Flavonoids and cancer
Quercetin, ellagic acid, apigenin and luteolin are powerful anti-carcinogens from plants. These exotic-sounding phytochemicals counteract cancer at its earliest stages. Apigenin, for example, interferes with the way estrogen is metabolized. When apigenin is present, estrogen stays in its weak form, unable to accelerate cancer growth. Luteolin prevents cancer-promoting estrogen from getting into cells. Several of the flavonoids suppress COX-2 (cyclooxygenase), an enzyme that enables cancer to grow and spread. COX-2 has been in the news because it's the enzyme targeted by certain antiinflammatories that inhibit cancer and other degenerative diseases as well.
In addition to these cancer-blocking actions, flavonoids possess powerful antioxidant activity that protects DNA from damage better than vitamin C.
Some flavonoids come from the family of aromatic herbs and shurbs known as labiatae. The labiatae include many of the herbs traditionally regarded as medicinal such as rosemary, mint, lavender and thyme. Labiatae plants provide a concentrated source of flavonoids with anti-cancer properties. Scientific studies are beginning to prove that flavonoids from these plants have very diverse and powerful effects against cancer. For example, in a study on melanoma in mice, apigenin and quercetin were equivalent to tamoxifen in inhibiting metastases. In studies on human leukemia, luteolin and other flavonoids stopped the growth of these cells in culture. Flavonoids can also inhibit enzymes which enable cancer to invade surrounding tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer-fighting flavonoids are also found in citrus fruit, tea and other plant-based foods. Certain flavonoids in citrus fruit known as polymethoxylated flavonoids work at the molecular level to counteract cancer. Tangeretin, for example, restores cell communication so that cancer can be brought under the body's control. Nobiletin, a similar flavonoid, causes human leukemia cells to differentiate into normal cells. Dozens of studies have been done showing that these flavonoids have powerful and diverse effects against cancer cells. The net effect is to wipe out cancer cells as soon as they appear.

Conscientious readers of the HuffPo will be aware that Mia Farrow has embarked upon a 21-day hunger strike to draw attention to Darfur. Conscientious viewers of YouTube will be more familiar with "Cop Tasers Child!!!"
The goal of Farrow's strike, which she began 10 days ago in Connecticut, is to encourage President Obama to intervene in Sudan, which expelled all humanitarian aid agencies from the country in March. In addition to the blogging, Farrow's been doing a ton of press to promote coverage of the Darfur situation.
Whatever one's considered opinions of the best approach to this cause, the efficacy of hunger striking, of celebrity activism, or the guilt of watching a live hunger-strike while eating a large plate of cold sesame noodles (probably not as great as it should have been), no one can deny that the actress's heart is in the right place - or that the strike's bringing attention to Darfur, its stated aim. And, importantly, both blog and videos devote a lot of time to concrete ways one can help, contribute, or vocalize support. It's always an open question whether big-name involvement's benefits outweigh the costs of losing those people who will automatically regard it as trivializing - or whether the attention it generates translates to activism - but in this case we're guessing there really is no such thing as bad publicity. However, two things give us pause: 1. Farrow says she's mostly in bed conserving her energy - so what about the crying child in the background? and 2. She's taking fasting advice from David Blaine, problematic only because lots of folks we know say David Blaine's a jerk who treats people badly and in fact we did once witness his trying to cut the line at the Magnolia Bakery. But fasting, I guess, he knows.

The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China marks its diamond jubilee with celebration and reflection. The past six decades have ushered in so many changes in Hong Kong, China and the rest of the world that for those who remember the founding of the SF&OC all this today has not been achieved short of a miracle. While so much has floated under the proverbial bridge connecting past to present, the Olympic movement here has remained a constant because its philosophy – the pursuit of excellence and the triumph of the human will – is ingrained in us.
No one, however sage, in 1951 could have predicted the progress that has been made to this date, not only with the dazzling technology but also the expertise in training, coaching and participation which has seen records fall and new bars rise only to be topple yet again. The athletes of today are better in every conceivable way than their predecessors who had, for the want of the facilities and the fund to succeed, the dauntless drive in their hearts. But as superb as our sportsmen and women are, they owe, each one, a moral debt to their precursors, to the pioneers who never turned disheartened when so often they engaged their games in the midst of sometimes public indifference, sometimes incomprehension.
Back through the 1950s and into the 1990s that saw Hong Kong race ahead in development, sports were not a priority and were indeed an afterthought, if thought of at all. Those who entered into sports had to accept the oblivion, even the scorn, but persisted they did, perseverance in the face of adversity that enabled the SF&OC, which had then the adjective "amateur", since erased, to prefix its rubric, to survive – now to thrive. We have now a much brighter sporting future in this century and a guaranteed separate status that permits our best to compete for Hong Kong under the Bauhinia emblem and, when victorious, to receive the accolades to the refrain of our national anthem, one country united, two systems guaranteed.
What does the future bode and how exactly it will unfold, no one but the oracle can predict. What is certain nevertheless for the next 60 years is the vitality and the relevance of the SF&OC whose message of striving for the higher, better, swifter is always resonant as long as the human being has a need to compete and to prove not just his fitness but his nobility in the cause of promoting peace, health, happiness and community – timeless qualities in the world of flux. Let me then join you to thank our forebears and pledge anew our commitment to the Olympic ideals that we not only practise but hope to embody in all we do.

A Few Recipes Utilizing Lobster Reduction Sauce
See my post on 3/22/11 for Lobster Reduction Sauce.
Usually I just use lobster sauce to bump up the flavor of a fish recipe. For example, a dish I commonly make is to cook spaghettini in fish stock (that I've made myself or bought from the fish monger), and separately heat minced garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in oil, and tossed them together.
When I have lobster reduction on hand, I will heat it up separately and toss it with the pasta, too. Or if I am cooking skate wings or some other flat fish, I'll poach the filets or wings in a little fish stock or water flavored with bay, parsley, and peppercorns, remove the fish and reduce the liquid, and add a tablespoon of lobster reduction and a knob of butter, and then return the fish to the pan to pick up the nice brown color and lobstery flavor.

LANGHORNE, Pa. – A rally to keep Big Bird off the unemployment line was held across the street from a Sesame Street theme park in Pennsylvania.
The Bain Workers Bus Tour, with a contingent of workers from companies owned by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's private equity firm Bain Capital, pulled into the parking lot of a Chick-fil-A restaurant near the Sesame Place theme park to protest Romney's funding policies, dubbed "The Romney Economy."
"In a Romney economy, Big Bird would be on the unemployment line as the 1 percent get tax breaks," said The 99 Uniting Website, a coalition of groups which include the Bain Workers. The group disapproves of Romney's business tactics and believes his economic policies only help wealthy Americans and ignore the financial needs of the 99 percent.
"Bain workers know firsthand what a Romney-Bain economy looks like," says the group's website. "Outsourcing the good jobs to China (and) leaving mostly low-wage jobs with limited benefits here in our communities," the site continues.
Big Bird became the unofficial face of the coalition when, during the first presidential debate, Romney promised to cut funding to PBS if elected. Romney, in outlining ways he would cut federal spending, said, "I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS," adding, "I like PBS; I love Big Bird."
The brief rally, which featured a Big Bird look-alike, took place in the shadow of Sesame Place because protesters were not allowed on the theme park grounds. Park employees and local police guarded the entrances to the park, citing the demonstration was not affiliated with the Children's Television Workshop or Sesame Place.
"Sesame Place is a theme park focused on family fun and we do not focus on politics," said communications manager Susan Godfrey. "However we are happy that everyone likes Big Bird."

Why This Stock Is the Best Value in Network Security
Analyzing the network security sector sometimes gives you the feeling that you are researching the only one company, just at different stages in its development. Most companies tend to evolve in a similar fashion, from high-growth start up to mature GDP growth type cash cow. Check Point and Cisco's security division would definitely represent the later stage of this hypothetical company's development. Palo Alto Networks is at the high-growth end of the spectrum and Fortinet lies somewhere in the middle.The question is which company has the best risk/reward profile?
Network security rebounds
It's been a varied year for the sector. After a weak first quarter, where companies like Fortinet, Palo Alto and F5 Networks disappointed with results, the last two quarters have been relatively good.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what happened back then, but sequestration appears to have had an effect on confidence. Furthermore, some unexpected weakness in telco provider spending also hit the market. No matter, the sector has reported some pretty good results since then.
The mature companies
Check Point finally managed to get product sales growing positively again. In addition, its new low-end product range is making inroads in the small and medium size business market. Meanwhile, it continues to generate huge amounts of free-cash flow. By my calculations free-cash flow was $925 million over the last year, representing around 8.6% of its current enterprise value. However, it's only forecast to grow earnings in the mid-single digit range for next few years. It's attractive if you favor low growth value plays.
Meanwhile, Cisco Systems has revamped its security offering with its acquisition of Sourcefire. Although, Cisco is not a pure-play security company, the way that is able to buy growth by an acquisition is typical of a mature late stage company. Cisco's main strength is the ability to bundle solutions to the other equipment that it sells to Governments and enterprises. Indeed, listening to Palo Alto's management on its conference call, the Sourcefire acquisition actually created a positive opportunity:
We've also seen confusion in the market from the Sourcefire customers about what that deal means... ...We've been able to develop hundreds and hundreds of leads from dissatisfied or confused Sourcefire customers... ... it's been a positive
Fortinet matures, unusually
Fortinet also beat estimates in its last quarter. Revenue came in at $154.7 million, beating the high-end of its guidance range by 1.6%. In common, with Check Point, Fortinet's guidance for the fourth quarter looks a bit conservative. Check Point has averaged 13.7% in fourth quarter sequential revenue growth over the last five years, while this year's guidance implies sequential growth of just 10.4% Meanwhile,despite beating estimates in its third quarter, Fortinet kept its full year revenue and EPS guidance constant. Here is how its full-year guidance has changed this year.
Source: Company presentations
Eagle-eyed readers will note that its free-cash forecasts have been progressively lowered throughout the year. Frankly, this is a cause for concern in an otherwise attractively valued company. Fortinet has had to lower its inventory turns, and therefore use up more cash in holding inventory on its books. It's not a major issue, provided it stabilizes as expected. However, it's something for Foolish investors to look out for. Companies usually start converting more income into cash flow when they mature, not the other way around.
Why Palo Alto Networks is the pick
It seems odd to talk about Palo Alto as the best value in the sector, but on a risk/reward basis the argument stacks up for three reasons.
First, Palo Alto's revenue for the full year is forecast to be around $559 million , a figure noticeably smaller than Check Point's estimate of around $1.4 billion or Cisco's trailing year security revenue of a similar amount. In other words, even if all four of these companies share the market equally, Palo Alto will see the most growth.
Second, Palo Alto is doing a pretty good job of converting revenue into free-cash flow.
If Palo Alto converts 22% of its forecast revenues of $559 million and $734 million then investors can expect around $123 million and $161 million in free cash flow in the next two years. That's not bad for a company that has a current enterprise value of $2.83 billion.
Third, Palo Alto has a favorable geographic mix of revenue. The most recent quarter saw 67% of the company's revenue coming from the Americas, with only 19% from Europe and 14% coming from the Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific. With companies like Cisco and IBM recently warning that emerging market spending was weakening, it's good for Palo Alto to be focused on the Americas.
All told, Palo Alto may not be the cheapest-looking stock in the sector right now, but it looks a good value based on its stage of development. Pure value orientated investors may prefer Check Point, or even a mix of the two.

Working out helps the workplace: Sources of savings
Kelli Kolsrud walks the walk. A contributor to a 500-page research report on wellness programs, Kolsrud can personally attest to the benefits of being well.
"I'm really, really glad that we can do this," Kolsrud said during lunchtime laps around the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, where she's a senior information specialist.
Most workdays, she slips into her sneakers and joins up to 68 of her co-workers as they log their mileage around the building, which is set in a wooded lot. To encourage fitness, the International Foundation is offering $150 for each employee completing 420 laps - 168 miles - by November.
"For me, it does show that the employer cares whether I'm healthy or not," Kolsrud said. "I appreciate that it's kind of a nudge for me to get out there and do these things."
The International Foundation report, based on surveys from 464 employers in the United States and Canada, found that 62 percent of the organizations had wellness programs for their workers. Another 15 percent said they intended to offer such plans.
When asked to identify the perceived benefits of their initiatives, employers cited improved employee health, higher morale, lower medical claims, reduced absenteeism, increased productivity and decreased turnover.
But 41 percent of the employers surveyed said they didn't know how wellness plans benefited their organizations. And 87 percent said they did not know what sort of return on investment their programs generated.
Those findings suggest that many employers offer wellness benefits either out of altruism or on blind faith that there is a payoff.
The danger, says Kolsrud, is that without evidence of an investment return, employers are less likely to commit to wellness in the long run.
"They might not continue it if they don't take the time to assess what the benefits are and what the return on investment is. I do think that's really important," Kolsrud said. "If money becomes tight in an organization, it's the programs that can prove their (return on investment) that get to stay. So it's really a business decision to have a wellness program because you can have a substantial return on investment from having one."
Midwest power company We Energies has figured returns ranging from $1.80 and $2.38 for every $1 it puts into employee wellness, based on cost savings from medical, drug and worker's compensation expenses, as well as reduced absenteeism.
And that's a conservative estimate, says Cindy Schaefer, manager of health promotion for the utility.
"We believe that keeping our employees well and healthy and trying to support that is the right thing to do," Schaefer said, "because we get the productivity. We get the morale. We get the softer side of things, in addition to the value that we see in a quantifiable way."
Escalating health care costs motivated We Energies a decade ago to launch health education and promotion initiatives at work, Schaefer said.
For similar reasons, Robert W. Baird & Co. stepped up its wellness efforts a year ago, including screenings and assessments to help employees - and their partners - identify and address potential health risks. A year ago, 95 percent of Baird's 2,200 employees participated in the assessments, up from 40 percent the year before.
"We are thinking positive and fully expect that we will see return on our investment," said Lori Lorenz, Baird's human resources director. "And if we don't, then I think we need to re-examine some of our efforts in the wellness area to see what we can to do keep improving it, because we believe there is a huge piece of our health care dollar that can be controlled through wellness efforts."
Brookfield-based technology services company Fiserv Inc., in the third year of its wellness drive, is seeing positive trends in employee nutrition, physical activity and tobacco use, according to Linda Schuessler, the company's wellness promotion manager.
Two years ago, 31 percent of Fiserv's employees had potential risks tied to inactivity. This year, it dropped to 25 percent.
Earlier this month, for the second year in a row, the National Business Group on Health named Fiserv among 41 "Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles." Despite these early accomplishments, Fiserv needs to track the impact of its wellness initiatives, Schuessler said.
"In the corporate world, you always want to measure results," Schuessler said. "It's very gratifying, too, to see that there are changes, that people are reacting in a very positive way, and that eventually it does mean that we are doing the right thing."
After years of health care cost hikes, more employers are looking to wellness for relief.
"No question that high health care costs have been driving the increased interest in worksite health promotion," said Deborah Seyler, executive director of the Wellness Council of Wisconsin.
"It really comes down to the fact that employers, over many years now, have really done a lot of the other things on the list. They have renegotiated with providers. They have reworked their benefits plans. They have co-payments and deductibles and incentives built in. And so they've done all of those things," Seyler said. "And now I think they're down to almost the last thing on the list - which maybe should have been the first thing on the list - health promotion."
She added, "There's a lot of research that indicates that anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of health care costs are directly related to lifestyle. Which is the good news and the bad news, because it's preventable. I think it's the pot of gold that's been pretty much untapped."

Burmese president meets France's Hollande
Issued on: Modified:
Burma's President Thein Sein met French President François Hollande and Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on Wednesday for talks on economic and diplomatic ties, in the second leg of his European tour.
France's leaders are set to meet Myanmar President Thein Sein to discuss widening economic and diplomatic ties.
The talks Wednesday between Thein Sein and President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault are the second leg in a European tour for the Myanmar president. He met British Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this week.
France and other Western nations imposed sanctions on Myanmar's previous military junta and avoided military-to-military contacts. Most sanctions were dropped after Thein Sein took office in 2011 and instituted economic and political reforms.
However, just last week U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon warned Myanmar that it must end Buddhist attacks on minority Muslims in the Southeast Asian country if it wants to be seen as a credible nation.
Myanmar for decades has faced rebellions from several ethnic groups seeking autonomy. The Kachin Independence Army is the only major rebel group that has not reached a cease-fire agreement with the government.
Nearly 250 people have died and tens of thousands, mostly Muslims, have fled their homes in religious violence in the past year. Buddhist mobs have marched through villages burning houses and mosques and brandishing machetes and clubs.
New freedoms of speech under Thein Sein have made it easier to disseminate radical views, while exposing deep-seeded racism felt by much of the population toward Muslims and other minorities.
Sectarian violence began in western Rakhine state last year, when hundreds died in clashes between Buddhists and Muslims that drove about 140,000 people, mostly Muslims, from their homes. The violence had seemed confined to that region, but in late March, Buddhist-led violence - fueled by the killing of a monk after a Buddhist mob burned down several Muslim-owned shops - swept the town of Meikthila in central Myanmar, killing at least 43 people.
Celestine Foucher of Info Birmanie, a French human rights organization, said Thein Sein election triggered "misplaced and exaggerated euphoria" in the West.
"By inviting the new president, it looks like we're giving 100 percent backing to someone who is only making a 10 percent effort" to improve human rights in Myanmar, Foucher said. The Myanmar leader's "first meeting Wednesday is with (business lobby) MEDEF, that shows you were the priorities lie, " she added.

Post subject: My Interview with Quorthon in 2003
I dug this up for another board I post on so I figured some people here might be interested. This is an interview I did with Quorthon back on April 24th 2003.
UM - Fred Lancelot (this was for a small webzine called UberMetal that's now dead)
Q - Quorthon
UM: On behalf of everyone at UberMetal, thank you for taking time out of your schedule for this.
Q: I have no schedule today (laughs). I mean, it's like... email times, you get twenty-five questions in an email, you just sit down and type the answers till four o'clock in the morning then you go home and take a nap. That's my job, basically.
UM: Could you give us a brief history of Bathory, for those of us who aren't familiar with the band?
Q: Well, it's not a band, actually for the last fifteen years it's been a two-man project, and each and every time I tell people it's sort of like, "Oops," and I go, "So, where have you been since the ice age?" I've been telling folks that all along, and it's no big secret, I mean twenty years down the line people still think about Bathory as something very mysterious and filled to the brim with anonymity and stuff like that. But it's really not anything special at all. It's just me writing a lot of music for six months and then I go down to the studio with a friend of mine and he helps me out with technical details and we put it on a record and we call it Bathory. And it's been like that ever since '89, ever since we recorded "Hammerheart." The records prior to "Hammerheart" were recorded with either three guys or two guys, depending on whoever was in the band at the time. Sometimes I would finish off playing half the bass on the record. We had never made a tour simply because Sweden is a rotten place when it comes to try to find people suitable for something like Bathory. Probably one of the main reasons for that was at the time when we formed, the band got very big in Sweden and if you make it very big in Sweden you sort of influence everybody from your grandchild to your grandmother, because it's a very small country. And each and every drummer and bass player that I had coming down to rehearse would look like something you'd fucked the night before, so they certainly didn't fit in with what I wanted Bathory to be like. You know, leather underwear and spikes and blood and shit like that. We would consider it a joke by the time we made two or three records, and it was basically with the fanzines in Europe, the underground fanzines that were very interested in talking to us. We have changed style and sound with probably every record, and in the past ten years it's been probably more about trying to keep the traditions and pick things up from the past rather than trying to explore and develop.
UM: For the very first Bathory album, "Bathory," no one seems to know if it's a drummer or a drum machine. Could you clear this up?
Q: The way we recorded that was we didn't have a studio, we went down to a garage. That garage was filled with a lot of car parts and mattresses and things like that, and we couldn't get as many instruments' amplifiers as we wanted into that small room. So when we recorded we had so much leakage going into the microphones so we used these small, condensed microphones. We sort of scotch-taped them onto the drum skins. And then we used about one hundred percent compressor on top of that. So it sounds very much like a machine, but it's not a machine, it's just a snare drum, a bass drum and the right cymbal. That was the drum kit we could fit in that small room. The only album where we used one hundred percent drum machine was "Twilight of the Gods." The rest of the records it's probably thirty, forty percent real drums, trigged drums, drum machines. So it's a mixed affair.
UM: Many fans are curious about the legendary album "Occulta." Though you have suggested perhaps releasing it on a special occasion or when Bathory is no more, why was it never finished and released in the first place?
Q: What it was recorded at about the time during a lot of satanic residue from the past with us, we were going through a transition period at the time. I had read so much about the satanic stuff and the Christian stuff that I came to the conclusion that Satan was just a hoax created by another hoax, Christianity. And watching my friends who were also in bands but never got a record contract, and here we were recording our second album and I realized if I could put myself in my friend's position, here I am being able to record an record and I'm just singing a lot of crap. It didn't make any sense. It's very cool when you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, to sound like a bull terrier on steroids or something like that or "listen to me, how cool I am with one hundred percent harmonizer on my voice," but what it all comes down to, you want to tell a story and already on the third album we tried a little bit to arrange our music. "A Call from the Grave," "Enter the Eternal Fire" and stuff like that. So when we recorded those five songs during the "Occulta" session, we realized why should we go on and make another album that's basically just "The Return..." part two? So it was more or less for ourselves to prove that we had been developing since we had recorded "The Return..." so we never finished that session.
UM: What music have you been listening to lately?
Q: I listen to such strange stuff. The band, classical music, Kick, Bush, Beatles, Mountain, [...], anything but metal. And with "anything" I'm not including reggae and hip-hop and crap like that, but anything that's interesting, that's very different from what you get to hear when you play any of the twenty-five different Swedish radio stations which basically sound just like someone having a heart attack or a seizure or something like that. As long as it's real instruments, real people and it's very original, I find it very interesting. And also I'm beginning to pick up a lot of the records that I had when I was a kid, ones that you can't play anymore because there's simply no sound left anymore in the grooves.
UM: A lot of bands out there draw a great deal of inspiration from you and all the albums you've done and pretty much worship you. How do you feel about that?
Q: That has changed. I've done so very much in the past thirteen, fourteen years to try and kill the Quorthon myth and the Quorthon legend. In stores I've been approached by people asking me if I'm really Mr. Q and I go, "Yes," and they say, "Well you're dressed up in jeans and t-shirts," and I go, "So?" And when people start to write letters to you in their own blood opening the letter by saying "You're my god," that will not help you form a personal relationship or believe anything that the person will write further down the letter. I recorded two solo albums with the sole intention to write and record something that was as far away from Bathory as possible because I started to receive letters from people who were sitting in prisons for having eaten twenty-two people and things like that. They made up to be something that I was not, I just wanted to be an ordinary Swedish guy, singer and songwriter, in this "cult" band. I didn't want to be somebody's god or somebody's excuse for cutting himself up. To fucking put it like that. And it wasn't like I didn't mind having girls from California sending me a lot of perverted stuff, videos and cards and things like that, but I sort of did mind that bag of earth that came from the graveyard. One girl had laid down on the graveyard masturbating under full moon thinking that the earth would sort of like enrich my magical powers, during my black magic midnight sabbaths, or whatever, and it really doesn't have anything to do with music. So I've done a lot of stuff to try and kill the myth. I didn't dress up in leather underwear anymore. I'm glad I never did put on any black or white makeup. I remember going to a lot of the magazines here in Europe to make interviews and they sort of pushed me into a room with pentagram curtains and cobwebs and black candles and plastic skulls, and everything that was missing was a pumpkin and a bowl of lemonade and we could have ourselves a Halloween party. I said, "Grow up, this is the nineties." So I've done quite a lot to actually try to distance myself from whatever people make me up to be.
UM: Bathory has often changed its sound, sometimes innovating a new sound and sometimes going back to retrace its steps. Why has Bathory's sound changed so much throughout the years?
Q: Well, you can look at it from two points of view. First of all, a vast majority of our audience, because I hate the word "fans," they're very conservative. If Bathory would all of a sudden start to produce an album where you could actually hear the vocals, or guitar solos, or the guitars would sound like the twenty-first century part machine, then it just wouldn't sound like Bathory anymore. So, we're not allowed to actually produce records that sound too modern. It has to be old-school stuff, almost underground. I'm at the receiving end of the fan mail, so I get to read their inner thoughts, as opposed to talks in the beer cans at festivals, where people sort of just skim the surface in terms of opinions about Bathory records. I get to hear what they really feel like. If a guy in Russia who makes per year what I make per day, I mean he's sitting down writing a letter telling me what he thinks about this and that album. And you get a letter from a guy in San Francisco, he's sixteen years old, and he hears an album like "Under the Sign..." and he wasn't even born when we recorded it. And if something that you wrote in your kitchen or recorded in a garage eighteen years ago still has substance to it, you have an obligation to sort of mind your trademark in terms of sound and stuff like that. But in-between, every time when we take a small leap in any direction, it's regarded as a very big step. It's only when you look back if you play a couple of albums back to back you will hear that there's a change in the sound. But that comes along with better technology, because a lot of the records or most of the albums in the eighties were recorded in a garage on eight-track equipment. So it's only natural that the albums will have changed production-wise and some quality-wise.
UM: Is there any particular place you go to write songs? Somewhere that inspires you, or frees your mind?
Q: (laughs) Don't give me like one of those Norwegian pagan magazines asked me a couple of weeks ago, "Is it true that you walk around talking to trees, and sit down at the beach and jerk off, and stuff like that?" and I'm like "Hey, don't read too much into my lyrics." No. And when I say this to people, they sort of take this in the wrong way, it's not out of disrespect for the origins or for Bathory, but I have to say it anyway, writing for Bathory is work. Because I do so many other things, I write sixties' pop, classical music, I'm just now completing my fourth string quartet, but when you sit down and do stuff for Bathory, you have to get into a specific mode, everything that you do for Bathory has to fit in within under a certain umbrella, sound-wise and style-wise, in terms of atmosphere. So it's work. But I don't say it out of disrespect for Bathory, it's not like one journalist interpreted it, that thought I was a prostitute, and when people had that headline in a Bathory article, it's very sad. Because it's very hard to explain, and a lot of times people have these precursive notions about myself as a person and then Bathory and then you try to be very open and personal about it, and you sort of like kill the myth, and they sort of take it very wrong like, "Oh, he's not into it anymore," and, "Wouldn't it be better if he just took a regular job if he can be this frank about it, and opened and detailed about talking about Bathory," but there's no other way for me to explain, I mean you're asking me something and I'm trying to tell you the plain, in detail, and some people cannot take that. They want me to sit here and go "ROOAARRR! I EAT BABIES EVERY DAY!" and things like that, and if you don't, then they're sort of like, "Oh, he's getting old, he's lost it," because in the back of their minds you have to kill a lot of old gods in order to make room for the new ones. It goes with panda makeup (laughs). Oh, you asked me where I go when I write Bathory music. I have a little closet; it's full of stuffed babies and goat meat.
UM: Could you tell us a bit about the "Nordland" saga? How it came into being, what it's about, and what it means to you?
Q: Well we tried it for the very first time to write an album throughout entirely about Nordic stuff, we didn't say Sweden, because we have no love of Sweden, but because we are Swedish, it sort of lends a lot of credibility to singing about this stuff. If we had been Japanese, we would probably have been singing about Samurais, where we would have been able to pull that off. If we had been Italian it would have been the Roman Empire, probably. If we had been Canadian... um...
UM: Lumberjacks?
Q: Something like that, or hockey, or... what are those guys called, in the red uniforms...
UM: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police?
Q: Right. I mean, they would look so cool headbanging. Oh, my mind is wandering off. But once we had actually done that album, people didn't know what to call it. I even heard one English magazine call it "ethnic metal" because we had Swedish [...] as part of it in the distance. So the terminology "Viking metal" was born. I'm not sure if that did any good, because we did something later on that was slow and heavy, it was called Viking even though I was singing about exes, or nuclear war. People sort of just interpreted, "Okay, this is slow and heavy, so it must be about Vikings." So later on when your whole intention is to write something that is "as Nordic" as it can get, you sort of travel back in time and pick stuff up from past Nordic albums you've made. So you sing about Asa Bay, that time and that place, a nonspecific time and place, and you do it in a Bathory style because you don't want to be academic about it. You don't want to sing about actual names, places or events because people will have a personal relationship to historic things, like the Danish invasion of England in whatever, 962, and you have much more artistic freedom to sing about stuff that is not historically accurate, but Bathory history. And so after "Destroyer..." which was a mixed effort because we really didn't know what to do. Each and every time we told people, "We're in the studio and you'll have an album in six months," we were drenched in mail telling us, "You'd better do something that's like this, or like that," and here we were doing something that was somewhere between, or away from anything we've done in the past. We were toying with hardcore mixed with classic music and medieval sounds, and so we sat down and said, "Okay, we can't wait anymore, let's just produce an album that's a mixture, at least in terms of music, fifty percent heavy and fifty percent brutal, but let's not write about Vikings or satanic shit, let's try to come up with something else to see if all of those image things are very valuable to people or if they have developed since the last album two or three years before." And so we wrote a lot about airplanes and war and there was a murder in America a couple of years ago, Harley Davidsons, ice hockey, just to try out the level of tolerance out there, and it was a mistake, because people wanted us to lick the balls of Odin or suck the cock of Satan. And we said, "Okay, let's do something that's one hundred percent either this or that," and that's when I sat down and wrote the entire Viking soap opera. But you need to have both volumes in order to know who fucked who and who's the father of what goat or whatever. Yeah, it was a big thing and it was great fun to do it, and it wasn't till we came down to the studio that we realized we have material for more than two hours. So we had to split it up.
UM: Did you encounter any problems when recording the "Nordland" saga?
Q: Yeah, we recorded for the first time using hard drive, because in the past it's been tape. And usually when we record backing vocals you can sort of alter the speed of the tape to make your voice sound very differently or at least not the same all the time. So you don't have to stress your voice that much, but now I really had to take those high notes and really low notes, and my voice is extremely limited and I don't have a very powerful voice at all. And trying to even come near to the type of vocals we can do in the late eighties, that was almost impossible, so that was the biggest problem. Because you can't pitch your voice and still maintain the note. Using a hard drive, you can't just use a program to pitch the voice down.
UM: With the success of the "Nordland" saga, do you foresee the next few releases to be in the same sort of vein, or is Bathory going change sounds again and try something different?
Q: Black Mark, they of course really want to know, because they're planning ahead and the distributors ten months prior to a release want to know exactly what it's going to be about, because they get to receive phone calls from fans and record shops. That's one of the down sides; you have your hands tied behind your back even a year before the release, because you may want to change your mind. When I wrote the material for "Nordland," it was just so apparent that this was going to be what it was, or what it turned out to me, and now we have the freedom to do basically what we want even though seventy percent of our audience wants us to do if not "Nordland III" so at least something in a similar vein. But we have to mind the rest of our audience as well. They're the ones who like to have razorblades up their ass and drink goat's blood and cut their arms and things like that, and I get very bored doing the same stuff for twelve months in a row. So I'd very, very much like to go back and do something that's more close to the first three albums than the last two. And also the great thing with Bathory, because it's a multi-head beast I consider it to be, once people are actually able to pin you down in a corner sound and style-wise that's when you really want to move. Otherwise you become something that the people will put behind glass in a museum of extreme metal and say, "That's what they're like," and put a label on you.
UM: Bathory has been around for two decades now, and when you look back on the large discography of Bathory, are there any albums that stand out as your favourites, or any regrets?
Q: Well if you look back on your life and you have regrets that means that you don't accept having learned something, and regrets is for suckers. Of course you can make bad choices and do bad things, but the good thing about bad decisions is that you learn from that. But in terms of records, it's like asking a mother, "Who's your favourite kid?" I also can't listen to Bathory records the way other people do because even if I listen to something that was done twenty years ago or eighteen years ago, it's still work to me. I will hear that guitar, or that bass or that vocal and want to remix it or continue doing it, as soon an album is released I never listen to it ever again. I don't even remember ninety-seven percent of the songs. I remembered now when I was sitting down at the studio remastering the entire back catalogue. because we're doing that as a twentieth anniversary gift to our audience, I can't remember any of the songs. So I would have to sit down and sort of check the CDs. I couldn't remember the titles, or anything, and it's very frightening because a lot of people will send emails to me and ask me, "What about this lyric?" and I go, "Shit, that's fourteen years ago, you expect me to remember a lyric I wrote fourteen years ago, it's like you remember that girl you bonked in the back of that limousine down in Brooklyn," and it just doesn't work. As soon as an album is released I don't listen to it ever again. So no, I couldn't put one album before the other. I have very fond memories of the first album and the funny thing is I remember more recording that album eighteen years ago than "Twilight...." I have no memories of "Twilight..." or "Blood on Ice." Or with "The Return..." because I was completely drunk during that session.
UM: As the mastermind behind Bathory, how would you define the entity of Bathory, and how important is it to you?
Q: Well it pays my rent, it puts bread on the table, it's an excuse to get up every morning (laughs). It's a very good excuse not to cut your hair. I have one meter and four centimeters long hair today, and one of my friends asked me, "When are you going to get a job and cut your hair?" Bathory sort of still keeps the fourteen-year-old kid in me alive, and if it hadn't been for Bathory, I wouldn't have done all the stuff that you only get to read rock stars doing, you know? All the bad stuff, so to speak. And also I've made a lot of friends, I shook the hands of possibly tens of thousands of people, I've made a lot of money, Bathory has sold over 1.4 million records, we don't spend any money on tours or videos, I haven't had to flip burgers down at McDonald's for twenty years, so I probably owe Bathory just about everything. Bathory has a life of its own. Because like I said, I was talking to this Norwegian pagan fanzine and they would ask me all the questions about Nordic stuff, and a couple of weeks before that you probably you could sit down talking to a German sadomasochistic black metal magazine and they would only ask me what it tastes like to have the semen of Satan down your throat, and things like that. You're a very different person depending on whom you're talking to because everybody has very different ideas about what Bathory's about. Either Bathory is the original black metal gods that went wimpy, and started to talk to trees, or it's the original Viking act with a dark past. So you sort of have to do checkups before you talk to someone, otherwise you'll sort of question, "Did I get the right number?" Because they have these ideas about you as a person. So I guess it's the same thing with Bathory. But Bathory's just what's on the records, if you pick any record in the back catalogue, that represents where Bathory were at that moment in time, and will say absolutely nothing about what we're doing today or five years before when that album was released.
UM: Thank you very much for your time. Congratulations on the release of "Nordland II," and I'll leave the last words to you.
Q: (laughs) What are you guys doing to us? It's like, "Here comes the answer to 'what's the meaning of life.'" My standard quip is always "Hail the hordes," I know it's a very torn expression there's no other way to show gratitude to all the wonderful assholes out there who makes it all worth. It's not because of the media or anything like that, it's just because it's all the wonderful shitheads out there who followed you throughout these two decades. I've talked to people just recently now because of "Nordland," and when I can start to give you on a more regular schedule. I get in touch with people who I talked to first time sixteen years ago, and they have three kids and live in a house and have dogs and have two cars and things like that, and it took them less time, they were still in junior high school. And that sort of gives you perspective.

I had no idea that happened... he took them to court for a tribute album? For the entire thing or for their particular cover, or what?

He claimed they violated his copyright on the goat and logo typeface and thus wanted cash.
The goat image he got from the head of the Church of Hollywoodsatan (Finland wing).
As for the copyright on the logo font, I just laughed...

I don't understand why Marduk
approach Black Mark about the project before launching it. Shouldn't they
to do an authorized version of something with that sort of profile, or is that not troo Black Metal enough?

Good read !
I have read in another BATHORY interview that the goat has no copyright because it was taken from an old horror magazine.
And wasn´t it that DARK FUNERAL (Hellspawn Rec) guy behind that tribute ?

I think it was Dark Funeral and not Marduk behind the unauthorized Bathory tribute. Hellspawn also bootlegged Von's Satanic Blood demo.

What means unauthorized ?
You don´t need to ask anyone for permission to publish cover songs !
All you need to do is paying the copyright protection agency fee (GEMA, STEMRA whatever).
That VON bootleg is another story...

Yes it was Hellspawn Records not Marduk. He (Quorthon) told the story in one of my interviews with him. I do not believe I have it electronically so it will take some time to dig it up to share here.

Didn't Quorthon win the lawsuit?

Latest revision as of 08:48, 26 January 2011
The following Tutorial will show you how to setup a fresh install of Remus to use as a backlog for Links and Notes. At the end you'll have a configured instance which can be used for backlogging your links notes and source-code snippets that are immediately shared.
NOTE All screenshots are made with the Remus Standalone Build (RCP) if you use Remus in your Eclipse IDE the appearance will be slightly different. Some actions are different
- 1 Step 1: Installing the required information units
- 2 Step 2: Setup the Webshot-Functionality (Optional)
- 3 Step 3 Installing Default-Rules for creating links
- 4 Step 4 Dropping the first link
- 5 Step 5 Executing the rule without UI
- 6 Step 6 Installing Rules for Content from Websites and SourceCode-Snippets
- 7 Step 7 Commit after creation
- 8 Result
- 9 This tutorial as webcast
- 10 References
Step 1: Installing the required information units
Therefore open the Eclipse marketplace[1] and install the information types "Link" and "Text" (see picture). This will install 4 new information types (LINKS, Unformatted Text, Formatted Text, SourceCode).
After the installation you'll be asked to restart the application. Additionally you have to install the GroovyExecution Environment (Search the marketplace for groovy)
Step 2: Setup the Webshot-Functionality (Optional)
An important feature for backlogging links to have a visual representation of the link. A webshot (a screenshot of the webpage) is optimal for this need. There a few free handy tools doing webshotting but unfortunately a distribution is not possible due to Licensing issues, you have to download the items for your own. To setup the webshotting open the Preferences at Remus->Information types->Links. Remus supports for each platform at least one webshotting tool.
- Select with the pulldown the tool for your operating system
- Click on the download link. You'll be redirected to the official page of the provider of the tool
- Download and unzip the tool into any location
- Enter the location to the recently extracted executable (for Mac: the location of the script) in the text field.
The picture on the right shows IECapt (Windows). The IECapt.exe is extracted into C:\
The setup of webshotting is optional and can be done also if information units were already created in your workspace.
Step 3 Installing Default-Rules for creating links
If Remus[2] is minimized the desktop-panel will appear. By default it will have three desktop-sections.
- A search input field
- The Drop-Section with a borders area where you can drop things or a Paste-Button to forward the input of your clipboard to Remus.
- The notifications
The most important section is the Drop-Section. With this section anything can be dropped into the application (alternatively the content of the clipboard). To convert the data into a data-structure that is readable by Remus and makes sense for you, you can write rules. Rules are triggered on several events, e.g. text content was dropped into this section. Remus gives a selection of possible relevant rules, a rule will be selected and the rule is executed. In the most cases the result of this execution is a new information unit in Remus. The most important thing is that no clicks through dozens of dialogs is required; a new information can be created without any user-interaction.
By default no rules are installed (excepting the rules to install rules). For installing new rules Remus eats its own dogfood. At first we try to install a simple rule. Therefore select the link below and drop it into the drop-section.
Drop this link into the Remus drop section
If you have no possibility to drag a link, open the link and drag or copy-past the contained content.
After the drop you'll see a new popup which gives you the choice of relevant rules to execute. Click on the "Install" Rule, select the Rule to install and press okay. The image on the right describes the workflow
- The link was dropped into to the Section. The rule engine will check if there is one or multiple rules that could deal with the data you have dropped
- A popup with possible rules for execution is shown.
- After a rule was selected the rule will be executed.
Step 4 Dropping the first link
After the rule for creating a link was installed it is now possible to create links from any application (e.g. a browser) via dropping the link into the drop section of the desktop-panel. A rule will be selectable which opens a dialog for setting several properties for the new information unit. At this point the first step for automatic link cration is done. Unfortunately the required user-interaction is not optimal for fast and easy transfer into Remus. Another step is required to automate the porcess.
Step 5 Executing the rule without UI
The current installed rule has a trigger that pops up a new dialog that requires user-interaction. To eliminate this step another rule has to be installed which triggers only a script. This script creates the completely information unit.
Drop this link into the Remus drop section
If you have no possibility to drag a link, open the link and drag or copy-past the contained content.
After this rule was installed you can choose between the first (see Step 3) and the second rule if you drop a URL into the drop-section. If you execute the second rule no user-interaction happens. If you restore Remus you can see now the new link. The script that was executed can be edited in the preferences at Remus->Desktop Integration->Rules. At this preference page all rules are listed.
This is the executed script:
String title = LinkUtil.getTitleFromUrl(input); Map map = new HashMap(); map.put("LINK",input); Util.createInfoUnit("LINK", title , "Inbox/myLocalBacklog", map);
You can customize this script for your needs. A possible addition is to create a separate folder for each day. The script would look like:
String dateString = java.text.SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(3).format(new Date()); String title = LinkUtil.getTitleFromUrl(input); Map map = new HashMap(); map.put("LINK",input); Util.createInfoUnit("LINK", title , "Inbox/myLocalBacklog/"+dateString, map);
Step 6 Installing Rules for Content from Websites and SourceCode-Snippets
Drop this link into the Remus drop section
If you have no possibility to drag a link, open the link and drag or copy-past the contained content.
Step 7 Commit after creation
If the category of the created link is part of a synchronized category you can automatically commit the new created element. All you have to do is to add 2 lines to your script in your rule.
This is the complete script of the rule:
String title = LinkUtil.getTitleFromUrl(input); Map map = new HashMap(); map.put("LINK",input); newUnit = Util.createInfoUnit("LINK", title , "Inbox/myLocalBackupt", map); path = Util.getPathForInformationUnit(newUnit); Synchronization.commitElement(path)
After the execution of several rules different information units were created based on the given rules. Check the correct indexing by using the search result. Remus indexes the whole content of the link and makes it searchable. See the screenshot for an example.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqOVYjXGxzo
- [1] IDE users have several markets installed. They have to switch to the Remus Marketplace (see the link under the content-listing)
- [2] IDE users have a separate Action with the Remus Icon in their main-toolbar.
