Chronic Fatigue, anxiety and depression and sleep
Posted by: pgrovetom
Date: June 9, 2010 7:44 PM
I struggled with sleeping through the night for more than 5 years. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea but I had no slow wave or stage 3/4 sleep. I was told that I should have had some. I had surgery to open my airways and it worked. I had a device which recorded O2 saturation, movements and heart rate all night. I could print out a graph showing all these all night. Prior to the surgery, my O2 de-saturation occurred between 25 to 100 times per night. Now, I have zero de-saturations but still awake on many mornings unrested and anxious and depressed. Without another expensive sleep study, is there any way to have my stage 3/4 sleep tested or any other way to encourage stage 3/4 sleep? It seems very odd that with the actual sleep apnea blockage clearly gone, dreaming has returned and able to sleep 7-9 hours but do not feel rested plus other symptoms. Should I just have another sleep study or do you have any thoughts on encouraging the stage 3/4 sleep? Are there any techniques, medications that could be tried before returning to the sleep labs.

I would be surprised if you health is totally fine otherwise. Do you have digestive symptoms, anything outside the ordinary? How about other symptoms - heart, lungs, etc.? (I need this information to answer your question properly.)
Re: Chronic Fatigue, anxiety and depression and sleep
Posted by: pgrovetom
Date: June 10, 2010 4:11 PM
No it's not. Yes I have acid reflux and others. Too complicated to ask here so I focused on the lack of slow wave deep sleep noticed in the sleep study. I have read that the digestive process and various digestive problems can impact sleep especially if heavy proteins or carbohydrates are eaten near bedtime. I avoid any food within 3 or so hours of bedtime, but I do sometimes awake with acid reflux. What is your view of avoiding foods and how long before sleep?

My heart and other organs are fine to the extent blood tests, CT scans and colonoscopy and endoscopy with intestine.stomach biopsy will show.. The only exception might be I get occasional asthma but it greatly declined after the apnea surgery. I have controlled blood pressure also.

In my experience chronic insomnia in the absence of chronically stress life situations are related almost always to toxicity. Toxicity can come from diet (food sensitivities and toxicities), failure to digest properly (resulting in dysbiosis which toxifies the entire body) and it can come from outside toxins - too many to name them all - but commonly heavy metals from internal (e.g. dental amalgams) and external (e.g. industrial polution) sources. We are all breathing industrial toxins carried by weather systems around the world. Tolerance to these things varies from person to person. That is about all I can say without seeing you, taking a full history, testing you etc.

Aging and the Indian Diaspora: Cosmopolitan Families in India and Abroad, , Tracking Globalization, Bloomington, IN, (2009)
The proliferation of old age homes and increasing numbers of elderly living alone are startling new phenomena in India. These trends are related to extensive overseas migration and the transnational dispersal of families. In this moving and insightful account, Sarah Lamb shows that older persons are innovative agents in the processes of social-cultural change. Lamb's study probes debates and cultural assumptions in both India and the United States regarding how best to age; the proper social-moral relationship among individuals, genders, families, the market, and the state; and ways of finding meaning in the human life course.
Sarah Lamb is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University. She is author of White Saris and Sweet Mangoes: Aging, Gender and Body in North India and co-editor of Everyday Life in South Asia (IUP, 2002).

Yes, according to Prabhu Pingali, the deputy director of the Agriculture Development Division of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who will give a free public talk at the University of California, Riverside on Thursday, April 5, 2012.
Titled, "Malthus Is Still Wrong: We Can Feed a World of 9 Billion People," Pingali's talk, presented by the One Health Center, will take place at 2:30 p.m. in Room 1113, the CHASS Interdisciplinary Building on campus. Parking costs $6.
"Unabated population growth, rising incomes, diversion of food towards fuel production and the negative consequences of climate change are said to cause 'a perfect storm' with severe consequences for the availability and access to food at the global and local levels," Pingali said. "But we've been here before. There are significant opportunities for meeting current and future food demand by enhancing productivity in developing country agriculture. Modernizing agricultural systems and reducing the productivity gaps that currently exist is the best avenue for increasing food supplies and reducing poverty."
Pingali has three decades of experience analyzing food, agriculture and developing policy in Asia, Africa and Latin America. He has authored ten books and more than 100 referred journal articles and book chapters on food policy, technological change, productivity growth and resource management in the developing world.
He has received several international awards and recognitions for his work, including: election as a fellow of the American Agricultural Economics Association in 2006 and of the International Association of Agricultural Economists in 2009. In 2007, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as a Foreign Fellow and named the "2010 Outstanding Alumnus" of North Carolina State University. He was the president of the International Association of Agricultural Economists from 2003 to 2006.
Before joining the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Pingali was the director of the Agricultural and Development Economics Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

''This profile fundraiser is ment to help fund Mars one, All money will be directed towards the www.Mars-one.com donations''
Mars One is a not-for-profit foundation that will establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Human settlement on Mars is possible today with existing technologies. Mars One mission plan integrates components that are well tested and readily available from industry leaders worldwide. The first footprint on Mars and lives of the crew thereon will captivate and inspire generations; it is this public interest that will help finance this human mission to Mars.
The Mars One mission plan consists of cargo missions and unmanned preparation of a habitable settlement, followed by human landings. In the coming years, a demonstration mission, communication satellites, two rovers and several cargo missions will be sent to Mars. These missions will set up the outpost where the human crew will live and work.
The mission design takes into account the expansion of the human colony where a new crew arrive every two years.
Mars One will select and train the human crew for permanent settlement. The search for Astronauts began in April 2013. More than 78,000 registered for the selection program within two weeks of its launch.
Stichting Mars One is a Dutch non-for-profit foundation. It is the mother company of Interplanetary Media Group, a for-profit company, which enables the foundation to secure funds from its investors.
In 2011, the founding members of the Mars One team came together to develop a strategic plan for taking humanity to Mars. That first year yielded the completion of a feasibility study after calling upon experts from space agencies and private aerospace corporations around the world. Written letters of interest in support of the Mars One plan were received. In this first-stage analysis, Mars One incorporated technical, financial, social-psychological and ethical components into its foundation plan.
After securing the first investments and commissioning the first conceptual design study in 2012, Mars One was ready to launch its Astronaut Selection Program. It was launched at press conferences in New York and Shanghai in April 2013.

'Jack London: An American Life,' by Earle Labor
Published 5:12 pm, Friday, October 25, 2013
Jack London
An American Life
By Earle Labor
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 461 pages; $30)
Over 40 short, dazzling years of life, Jack London proved his genius for reinvention. At 14, he was a "beast" in a West Oakland cannery, working 14 hours a day for 10 cents an hour. By 15, he had joined a gang of oyster pirates, raiding the East Bay's richly stocked beds, where he might "get shot or arrested."
Taking his place among the wharf's "rough men, big and unafraid ... some of them ex-convicts, all of them enemies of the law," London quickly turned himself into a skilled and fearless small-craft sailor, and subsequently shipped out for seven months aboard a sealing schooner heading to the Bering Sea. Before he turned 20, he had tramped across the United States, spent 30 days in the Erie County Penitentiary for vagrancy ("It was a living hell, that prison"), and prospected for gold in the Klondike, where the temperatures hit a brisk 67 degrees below zero.
In his new biography, "Jack London: An American Life," Earle Labor - curator of the Jack London Museum and Research Center in Shreveport, La. - wheels capably through the writer's transformations, proving particularly adept with his adventures at sea and in the Yukon, evoking the zest and courage that the young man brought to every physical challenge.

A less dramatic though equally engrossing story involves London's struggle to wrest himself from the margins of Oakland's working class to become one of the world's most popular authors, with more than 50 books to his credit, including "The Call of the Wild," "The Sea-Wolf," "The Iron Heel" and a raft of stories "rich in drama, comedy, and warmth as well as in brutality, violence, and death."
We observe young London haunting the Oakland Public Library and his efforts to emerge as the complete autodidact, presided over by Ina Coolbrith, later to become California's first poet laureate. London devours history; biographies; the fiction of Poe, Melville and Kipling, the last a lifelong favorite - and graduates to Carlyle, Ruskin, Conrad and H.G. Wells.
"I read mornings, afternoons, and nights," London recalled. "I read in bed, I read at table, I read as I walked to and from school, and I read at recess while the other boys were playing."
As he began to write, drawing upon his accumulated travels for a trove of insights, themes and story lines, he pared back the time allotted for sleep until he could function with a scant five hours. He established a writing regime of 1,000 words daily, which he maintained for most of his life.
"In his learning program," writes Labor, "he gave special attention to vocabulary, scribbling the definitions of new words on scraps of papers, carrying these in his pockets or fastening them to a clothesline in his bedroom, using and repeating each word until confident he had mastered it."
As his friend, Frank Atherton, explained: "Jack London was an extremist. In everything he did or endeavored to do, he went the limit. There could be no halfway mark; it was the goal or nothing."
There's poignancy in this dedication, a sense of time nipping at the young man's heels. Perhaps he even feared that his ample well of exploits might run dry. By 1910, world famous and richly compensated (though frequently on the verge of financial ruin, given his lavish spending on boats, homes and travel), London found himself purchasing "fresh plots" - "$70.00 worth of them, at $5.00 apiece" - from "a tall, gangling young man in his early twenties" named Sinclair Lewis.
Labor aims to portray "a different Jack London" from the familiar adventurer - the "strange combination of Scandinavian sailor and Greek god," as a friend recalled upon first seeing him stride across the UC Berkeley campus (where he resided for less than a semester after devoting 19 hours to study each day in order to pass the entrance exam). Relying heavily on diaries kept by London's second wife, Charmian ("Mate Woman," as he cringe-inducingly calls her), London's own journals of his 1894 tramping experience and his Yukon River trip in 1898, as well as his partner Fred Thompson's 1897 Klondike diary, the biographer produces an insider's view of a troubled man: "hypersensitive, contentious, moody (possibly bipolar) and medically frail despite his vigorous muscularity." Charmian's contributions prove particularly intimate, taking note of their mutual yearning during separations and their regular energetic lovemaking.
The result is a rounded portrait of a now-underappreciated artist. (Have you read "Martin Eden"? To live in the Bay Area and neglect London's most accomplished autobiographical novel is a small crime.) While detailing the turns and complications of London's life, this new biography skates lightly over the literary criticism. Perhaps more important, it provides minimal historical context for London's personal philosophy - a jumble of revolutionary Marxism and social Darwinism that inspired two runs for mayor of Oakland on the Socialist ticket and a patricianly need for a succession of Japanese valets.
Instead, Labor lovingly introduces us to the man behind the legend, underscoring his prominence as a defining figure of a wilder California and a cornerstone of American culture.

Avenged Sevenfold, A Perfect Circle Rock on the Range — Live Review
Rock on the Range 2011 is in the history books. The fest, held annually at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, celebrated its five year anniversary over the May 20-22 weekend.
"Armageddon isn't so bad!" screamed Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows in the middle of the band's headlining set. After all, the Rapture was predicted to occur on May 21, so Shadows surmised that everyone at the fest was going to hell. After all, a group of rockers surely wouldn't be chosen to ascend to heaven, right? The Rock on the Range crowd partied — and moshed — as though this show was their last.
In addition to Avenged Sevenfold, Steel Panther and A Perfect Circle also headlined the event, which draws tens of thousands of fans from all over the country. To celebrate its five years anniverasry, the fest expanded to add a pre-party on Friday, May 20. That's where bands like Red Line Chemistry, Lez Zeppelin and Danko Jones and Steel Panther came in — to get the crowd pumped and primed for the main event.
Steel Panther's set drew both laughter and confusion from the crowd. The band, made up of excellent musicians, is a parody of the entire '80s rock scene. The band ripped through songs like 'Death to All But Metal' and 'Asian Hooker' all the while mixing in comedy and stage banter.
For most, the festival action really started Saturday, with some 20 bands including Asking Alexandria, Hinder, My Darkest Days, Black Veil Brides, Escape the Fate, Danzig and Alter Bridge. For most, the biggest surprise of the day came when Asking Alexandria brought out Sebastian Bach for their cover of the Skid Row classic 'Youth Gone Wild.' At the end of the tune, Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop said to Bach, "My parents used to have sex to your songs."
By the time Saturday evening rolled around, some 35,000 music fans were ready for the sun to go down for a little respite from the heat and for Avenged Sevenfold's set. The band played their most famous songs including 'Almost Easy,' 'Bat Country,' and 'Critical Acclaim.' A7X are touring behind the 'Nightmare' album, so the title track and 'God Hates Us' also made the set. The band closed with 'Unholy Confessions.' For the entire hour-long performance featured fireworks, Avenged's famous guitar solos, and new touring drummer Arin Ilejay. Singer M. Shadows mentioned that Rock on the Range 2009 was the last show the band played with original drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan, and thanked Columbus for the continued support. This was met with much applause and screams of joy.
On Sunday, crowds gathered to see bands like Hollywood Undead, Cavo, Pop Evil, Black Label Society, Bullet For My Valentine and A Perfect Circle.
For Pop Evil, the performance was a way to blow off a little steam. Singer Leigh Kakaty ripped up the band's old record contract and excitedly announced that their new album would finally be available at the end of June.
When Welsh rockers Bullet For My Valentine took to the main stage, a storm was brewing and the sky turned black. Performing amongst this very metal background, the band played a tight set of songs like 'Waking the Demon,' 'Scream Aim Fire,' and 'Tears Don't Fall.' The general consensus amongst many in the crowd was that Bullet For My Valentine put forth the most purely-metal performance of the weekend.
For A Perfect Circle's headlining slot on Sunday, the stage looked completely different from the previous night's Avenged set. Whereas Avenged Sevenfold used pyrotechnics, the members of A Perfect Circle went a more subdued route, choosing to perform on a basically all-black stage. The setting seemed to surprise some audience members, but didn't stop the crowd from rocking out to songs like 'Judith' and 'The Noose.'
Rock on the Range was presented by AEG Live/Right Arm Entertainment.

Summoning a magical 'Tempest'
Updated 3:08 pm, Thursday, November 8, 2012
Dallas Atkins spent part of a recent rehearsal for "La Tempesta" working on trudging.
He wasn't doing it solely for himself — he was trying to make it look like the puppet he was working with was trudging, burdened by the weight of the wood he was toting. And he was having a tough time of it.
Mauro Monticelli popped up on stage to give him a hand. Monticelli took up the puppet and moved it across the stage, making it seem as if it was moving under its own steam. When it stopped and gazed out into the theater, it looked like it was breathing heavily. It would not have been surprising to see beads of sweat appear on its clay brow.
The brief episode illustrated the difference between student — that would be Atkin, who is studying at Trinity University — and master — that would be Monticelli, a member of Teatro del Drago puppet theater.
Giving students a chance to learn from the masters is the point behind "La Tempesta" ("The Tempest"). The production of Shakespeare's tale is being created by director Roberto Prestigiacomo, Trinity students and Teatro del Drago, an internationally renowned troupe based in Ravenna, Italy.
It premieres this weekend at Trinity's Stieren Theater.

The play, set on an island, follows deposed duke Prospero's efforts to use sorcery to restore his beloved daughter Miranda to her rightful place in Milan. Along the way, she also finds romance, another result of her father's manipulations.
Prospero's flashy witchcraft — among other things, he can control the weather, and summons a storm to cause a shipwreck — make it a natural for Teatro del Drago's intensely visual approach, Prestigiacomo said.
"'Tempest' is a very magical show about love," he said. "There is magic in the work that they do."

The company is a Monticelli family enterprise dating back to 1820. The puppets are handcrafted, Monticelli said, using a lengthy process that has been handed down through generations.
Five company members, including brothers Mauro Monticelli and Andrea Monticelli, are working on "La Tempesta." Andrea and his wife and fellow company member Roberta Colombo brought along their 10-year-old daughter, Irene Monticelli.
Whether Irene eventually becomes a member of the company will be entirely her choice, Colombo said, though, Prestigiacomo teased, "If she becomes a lawyer or a doctor, they will be disappointed."
Whatever she does later in life, Irene already has a U.S. theater credit. She appeared in "Pinocchio," which the company staged for two nights last month at Trinity to give San Antonio audiences a taste of what they do. Their version of the story unfolded almost entirely visually: The snippets of dialogue were gibberish. In addition to the puppets, the troupe used shadows, light, color and music to tell the tale.
They'll do the same with "La Tempesta," Prestigiacomo said: "In this show, Shakespeare's text is enriched by the images."
The Trinity students involved in the show took a five-week workshop ahead of Teatro's arrival so that they could hit the ground running. Even so, there was some trepidation when they first handled the puppets.
"At the beginning, they were a little afraid of the puppets," Colombo said. "Now, they kiss them, they dance with them, they take care of them like a baby."
The company has performed all over the world. Before they arrived here, they were in China; after they leave, they're slated to perform in Spain. But their residency at Trinity marks their U.S. debut.
Prestigiacomo, a native of Rome who now teaches theater at Trinity, has been trying to make that happen for a long time.
"This project has been in the works for 15 years," he said. "We have been talking to them about the possibility of bringing them to the United States, but it was never the right moment. This is the right moment."
Once the production wraps up, "La Tempesta" will go into the company's repertoire. Prestigiacomo hopes it will be staged at the Ravenna Festival, the famed arts celebration held every summer in the company's hometown.
He and the company members are also hoping that it will be the first of many collaborations between the university and the puppeteers.
"This will be a bridge between Trinity and Teatro del Drago," Prestigiacomo said.
"La Tempesta" can be seen at 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, with additional performances at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, through Nov. 17 at Stieren Theater in the Ruth Taylor Theater building at Trinity University. Tickets prices range $6 to $10. Call 210-999-8515 for reservations.

Udinese defender Mehdi Benatia has confirmed Arsenal are interested in him, but also notes "I am happy at the Friuli and don't want to leave."
It has been said several times that Samir Nasri, his former teammate in France, has spoken to Arsene Wenger about bringing Benatia to the Emirates.
"I am happy at the Friuli and think only of Udinese," he assured in today's Press conference.
"I signed a five-year contract and don't want to leave before that expires. I realised from the first day I arrived here that I had joined a great club.
"I have learned so much by training alongside teammates like Cristian Zapata and Andrea Coda. They are strong and expert defenders with over 150 Serie A appearances behind them. This team is very united, both on the field and off."
Udinese are unbeaten in 13 games and have surged into the Champions League spots.
"We have many quality players, then I look at the fixture list and think we can achieve great things together.
"This weekend we face Lecce, so it will be important to make the most of the pace and quality of our front line.
"We haven't conceded in seven games and, if we managed to defend Samir Handanovic's net for another 90 minutes, I think our chances of victory would improve massively."

Master Data Services overview
Master Data Services is Microsoft's Master Data Management product that ships with SQL Server 2008 R2. Much like other parts of SQL Server, such as Analysis Services (SSAS) or Reporting Services (SSRS), MDS doesn't get installed along with the database engine, but is a separate product in its own right.
Unlike SSAS or SSRS, it's worth noting that MDS is only available in the Enterprise and Data Centre Editions of SQL Server, and that the server must be 64-bit.
MDS is a product that has grown from acquisition, as it is based on the +EDM product that Microsoft obtained when they bought the Atlanta-based company called Stratature in 2007. A great deal of work has been carried out since the acquisition, including changing the user interface and putting in a web service layer.
At a high level, the new product has the following features:
- Entity maintenance—MDS supports data stewardship by allowing users to add, edit, and delete members. The tool is not specific to a particular industry or area, but instead is generic enough to work across a variety of subject domains.
- Modeling capability—MDS contains interfaces that allow administrative users to create data models to hold entity members.
- Hierarchy management—Relationships between members can be utilized to produce hierarchies that users can alter.
- Version management—Copies of entity data and related metadata can be archived to create an entirely separate version of the data.
- Business rules and workflow—A comprehensive business rules engine is included in order to enforce data quality and assist with data stewardship via workflow. Alerts can be sent to users using e-mail when the business rules encounter a particular condition.
- Security—A granular security model is included, where it is possible, for example, to prevent a given user from accessing certain entities, attributes, and members.
Master Data Services architecture
Technically, Master Data Services consists of the following components:
- SQL Server Database—The database holds the entities such as Customer or Product, whether they are imported from other systems or created in MDS.
- Master Data Manager—A web-based data stewardship and administration portal that amongst many other features allows data stewards to add, edit, and delete entity members.
- Web Service Layer—All calls to the database from the front-end go through a WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) web service. Internet Information Services (IIS) is used to host the web services and the Master Data Manager application.
- Workflow Integration Service—A Windows service that acts as a broker between MDS and SharePoint in order to allow MDS business rules to use SharePoint workflows.
- Configuration Manager—A windows application that allows key settings to be altered by an administrator.
The following diagram shows how the components interact with one another:
MDS SQL Server database
The MDS database uses a mix of components in order to be the master data store and to support the functionality found in the Master Data Manager, including stored procedures, views, and functions.
Separate tables are created both for entities and for their supporting objects, all of which happens on the fly when a new object gets created in Master Data Manager. The data for all entities across all subject areas are stored in the same database, meaning that the database could get quite big if several subject domains are being managed. The tables themselves are created with a code name. For example, on my local installation, the Product entity is not stored in a table called "Product" as you might expect, but in a table called "tbl_2_10_EN".
Locating entity data
The exact table that contains the data for a particular entity can be found by writing a select statement against the view called viw_SYSTEM_SCHEMA_ENTITY in the mdm schema.
As well as containing a number of standard SQL Server table-valued and scalar functions, the MDS database also contains a handful of .Net CLR (Common Language Runtime)-based functions, which can be found in the mdq schema. The functions utilize the Microsoft.MasterDataServices.DataQuality assembly and are used to assist with data quality and the merging, de-duplication, and survivorship exercises that are often required in a master data management solution.
Some of the actions in MDS, such as the e-mail alerts or loading of large amounts of data, need to happen in an asynchronous manner. Service Broker is utilized to allow users to continue to use the front-end without having to wait for long running processes to complete.
Although strictly outside the MDS database, SQL Server Database Mail, which resides in the system msdb database, is used as the mechanism to send e-mail alerts to subscribing users.
In addition to the tables that hold the master data entities, the MDS database also contains a set of staging tables that should be used when importing data into MDS. Once the staging tables have been populated correctly, the staged data can be loaded into the master data store in a single batch.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
During the initial configuration of MDS, an IIS Web Application will get created within an IIS website. The name of the application that gets created is called "MDS", although this can be over-ridden if needed.
The Web Application contains a Virtual Directory that points to the physical path of <Drive>:\<install location>\WebApplication, where the various components of the Master Data Manager application are stored.
The MDS WCF Service called Service.svc is also located in the same directory. The service can be exposed in order to provide a unified access point to any MDS functionality (for example, creating an entity or member, retrieving all entity members) that is needed by other applications. Master Data Manager connects to the WCF service, which then connects to the database, so this is the route that should be taken by other applications, instead of connecting to the database directly.

Master Data Manager
Master Data Manager is the primary mechanism for accessing all the Master Data Services functionality and is therefore the focus of this article. We will introduce the Master Data Manager in this section.
Accessing Master Data Manager
With the default installation settings, Master Data Manager is accessed in a web browser by typing http://<servername>/MDS/. This takes us to the front page, as shown in the following screenshot:
As indicated in the previous screenshot, Master Data Manager has five functional areas that users of the application may access, namely:
- Explorer
- Version Management
- Integration Management
- System Administration
- User and Group Permissions
We will now look at each of these functions in turn, and explore how they can help with an MDM initiative.
The Explorer part of the application will be the primary interface used by data stewards as it allows a user to carry out the following:
- Add, edit, or delete entity members.
- Manage hierarchies.
- View transaction details, for example, who added a particular member and when.
- Reverse transactions that have previously been made.
- Run business rules.
- Export data to Microsoft Excel.
- Create and manage collections, which are user-defined groups of members that exist within an entity.
Clicking on the Explorer item on the front page takes us to the Model View screen, which gives an overview of the MDS view of our current subject area, for example, Product. The Model View of the sample Product model is shown next:
The above screenshot shows all the objects that are used by Product, namely a number of attributes, hierarchies, and collections. We can click on some of these objects to take us to the object itself. For example, clicking on the hierarchy called Category will take us to the hierarchy itself. Alternatively, we can also navigate to the various items using the menus shown at the top of the screen.
One of the most common tasks for a data steward to carry out will be to go to the Explorer Grid, which is a table structure that shows all the members in the chosen entity. Clicking on the "pencil" icon at the top of the screen is the next step to carry out:
Once this has been carried out, we will get to the Explorer Grid page, as shown in the following screenshot:
The Filter Criteria section at the top of the screen allows us to filter on a chosen entity attribute, in order to make searching easier, whereas the grid at the bottom of the screen contains the members themselves.
Within the grid, the columns are the attributes of the Product Entity, such as Name or ReorderPoint, whereas the rows are the members.
It is within this grid that the adding, editing, and deleting of members can be carried out.
Version Management
Clicking on the Master Data Services logo in the top right-hand corner takes us back to the Master Data Manager home page. From here, if we pick the Version Management option, we're taken to the Manage Versions page, as shown in the following screenshot:
With Version Management, it is possible to carry out the following:
- Create a copy of an entity and its associated data, which is known as a version
- Control access to the version
- Validate the version
- Review any issues with the version
- View and reverse transactions that have occurred against a specific version
Versions provide an easy mechanism to create physical copies of all the members that exist within a given entity. This may be useful in an MDM program in order to record the historical changes to master data at a given point in time or to record a major data change, such as organizational realignment.
A new version is created by copying an old version. At this point, MDS can be configured to ensure that only the new version is available for editing, to prevent alterations to historical data.
Versions also contain the concept of validation. If a version is validated, then it meets the business requirements for the given master data entity, and can be safely extracted by any downstream systems that need the master data. Business rules run when a version is validated and will fail if their conditions are not met.

(For more resources on this subject, see here.)
Integration Management
The third option available on the front page of Master Data Manager is Integration Management. Within Integration Management it is possible to:
- Import data into MDS
- Export data out of MDS
Clicking on the Integration Management option defaults the screen to the Import page, as shown in the following screenshot:
The grid at the top of the screen, under Staging Batches, shows the historical data that has been imported into the MDS database, as well as any data that is currently importing or is queued to import.
Importing is initiated by the button at the bottom of the screen. This causes Service Broker to kick off the loading of any data that exists within the staging tables, whereas the user can monitor the load of data by refreshing the grid at the top of the page.
Unlike the Import page, the Export page does not actually export master data to subscribing systems, but instead allows the creation of objects that external systems can connect to.
It is therefore entirely down to the solution architect as to how master data gets propagated to systems that need it. Depending on the MDM architecture style that needs to be used, subscribing systems may need to store a local copy of the data.
If data does need to be transferred to external systems, then another product within SQL Server is a good choice to help with this requirement. SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is Microsoft's ETL (Extract Transform Load) tool and it contains specific functionality for moving large volumes of data from a source to a target.
System Administration
System Administration is the place within Master Data Manager where the MDS entities and all their related objects actually get created. For those of you who have developed operational or BI solutions using SQL Server, it may come as a surprise that this is not carried out in SQL Server Management Studio or Visual Studio.
Clicking on the System Administration option gives the following screen:
The System Administration screen provides two ways in which to manage the entities and their related objects. This can either be carried out by navigating the above tree or by utilizing the Manage menu item at the top of the screen.
Finally the System menu option that's shown in the above image is the place whereby a deployment package can be created. Deployment packages are useful for deploying the entity structures from a test to a production environment, for example.
User and Group Permissions
As master data is one of the organization's prime data assets, it stands to reason that there should be some way of securing this data. This process is carried out within Master Data Manager by clicking on the User and Group Permissions option, the result of which is shown below:
MDS allows a given Windows user access to Master Data Manager if the user has been added to the MDS list of users, which is done by adding the user in the form of DOMAIN\User or COMPUTER NAME\User. Alternatively, Windows groups can also be added to MDS, albeit on the adjacent menu option called Manage Groups.
Once the Windows user or group has been added to MDS, a variety of permissions can be applied. At a high level, access can be granted to one or more of the five Master Data Manager functions.
Detailed permissions can also be applied to a user or group, to the extent that read and write permissions can be altered for an entity, attribute, or even a single member.
In this article, we've gained an overview of Master Data Services and have learned the following key points:
- Master Data Services ships with the Enterprise and Data Center Editions of SQL Server, allowing organizations to carry out Master Data Management at a much lower cost.
- MDS assists with an MDM solution by providing generic entity modeling and maintenance capability.
- The underlying SQL Server database stores entity data as well as any required metadata.
- Master Data Manager is the main application that ships with MDS, providing the following features:
- Data stewardship using the Explorer function
- Versioning of entity data using the Version Management function
- The ability to import data using the Integration Management function, as well as the ability to create objects to assist with data export
- The creation and maintenance of entities and their related objects through the System Administration function
- Management of security through the User and Group Permissions function

A WOMAN who claims she was raped by three men and urinated on in her Monaghan home has denied "making eyes" at one of the men before the alleged attack. Under cross-examination by the defence yesterday at the Central Criminal Court, she denied "developing an attachment" to the accused.
The woman says she was held down while the three men took turns raping her after a row over missing vodka. It is also alleged that her boyfriend was beaten and knocked unconscious.
The first accused (28) is alleged to have falsely imprisoned the woman, to have raped her orally, vaginally and anally and to have assaulted her and her partner. The second man (20) is accused of assaulting the couple, falsely imprisoning the woman and vaginal and oral rape. The third man (20) is accused of vaginal rape. All three have pleaded not guilty to all counts.
The attacks are alleged to have taken place in November 2010.
Alexander Owens SC, for the first accused, suggested she was drunkenly "making eyes" at his client but was told to "get lost". He said she was eager to drink with the group but was stopped by his client because she was pregnant.
She said she was only slightly drunk before the alleged rape and it was only afterwards that she became intoxicated with her partner.
She said the violence started a few days earlier when she hid a bottle of vodka belonging to the first accused because "there was too much drinking in the house".
She said he confronted her partner about this and started to beat him, leaving him with a black eye. She said he was later assaulted again and left unconscious for four hours in the back yard. She eventually put him to bed in a box room so he could not be assaulted any more.
Mr Owens asked her why she had originally told gardaí she was raped in a bedroom but was now saying it happened in the living room. "Maybe I made a mistake . . . I was stressed out at that time."
The trial continues before Mr Justice Barry White and a jury.

Great story, wish more ppl where like your veteran raider
Great story, wish more ppl where like your veteran raider
Wow you people are the bestest.
Cant wait to start playing again. Iv been off for a while, now im moving out of my parents place and will have the freedom to play whenever I want
While I appreciate everyone else's kind words and support, it's people like you who automatically think the worst of people who give us the bad rap.
Haha, our raid leaders gametime went out yesterday during our empress try.
4 People volounteered to pay instantly
Its not really a monitor, but same sentiment
Yeah well our pally healer and his gf hate me and so did the terrible ass shaman that quit, thank god. It's not all sunshine and farts.
I've given and received things from my online family in WoW.
Received - About a year ago, I was logging into the game to let my guild know I had just lost my job and I would not be logging on for a long while until I was back in the $$ again. They all know me. At the time, 37, male, married, and 100% deaf. I never raided since I couldn't use vent, but that never stopped me from having a good time and chatting it up. That Sunday, my time was set to expire, and I logged on again to wish everyone well, and to my amazement, there was a message from the GM telling me to go check my game mail (a gmail account I made just for my character). I was FLOORED when I opened up the mail to find 14 digital game cards waiting to be authorized. It was the coolest thing to ever happen to me in WoW.
Given - 3 weeks ago, I finally killed off the last of my Horde Characters to devote all my time to my main, and start getting all my achieves, when I saw a request for 2g 27 silver from a goblin in Org. I whispered him and asked what the money was for and he said this was his first character ever and just hit lvl 22, but could not afford the training and the mount. His friends had invited him to the game and helped each other level, but he just didn't have any gold. I pulled an armory to make sure it wasn't some snow job, and found out his first achieve was just 2 weeks earlier. He had no mounts, titles, achievements, and was wearing quest and dungeon greens.
I knew I was leaving the horde, so I sold out the last of my banker's stuff, and opened a trade window with him. He about fell outta his chair when I gave him close to 40K, waved, and logged out. I hope he got his mount I may have to armory him again soon just to find out
my monitor died too. I took it apart, found 5 blown capacitors on the power supply board and ordered them from amazon. borrowed a soldering iron, pulled em out, put the new ones in and it works again.
dont have to buy a new one every time something breaks. my fix cost $15. and anyone can do this stuff, it isnt hard. I know nothing about electronics or fixing stuff.
My and my guildies have a really close team, its mostly the officers and raid team but we have all become good friends, we mail each other items all the time and are having a guild meet up in October. Sometimes guilds do make real friends and thats when this game really shines above all the others.
"I hated hating Garrosh before it was cool."
My story is from a non-raiding guild, but still about kindness. 2 guildies collaborated and organised a Christmas dinner for me, a traditional one of turkey plus all the trimmings. I am old, living on benefit and can just manage the cost of WoW and internet but no spare money for any type of luxury. They are both young, young enough to be my grandsons, one Dutch and one Swedish, but between them they had this most wonderful food delivered to me in England just before Christmas day. There are many kind people in the game, far more than people think, but they all too often get hidden by the loud-mouthed needy brats with a too large sense of entitlement and the good humour of rotten lemons.
For Moderation Concerns, please contact a Global:
Tziva ■ Radux ■ Simca ■ Elysia ■ Zaelsino ■ xskarma ■ Arlee ■ Venara
I love reading stories like this. It's great to know there are people out there who will do random acts of kindness without any expectations of reciprocation.
Image created by Brienna
That's true friendship of a guild!
I've had a guildie send me a headset. Everyone hated my mic but no one said anything to me so i didnt know it was an issue. They should of just told me instead of sending me a new one xD. But its amazing the sort of bond you make with some people while playing. Most all of us have stopped playing (we started raiding in toc era) but there is still 15-20people always on mumble ready to chat it up
I play many games. WoW, Rift, D3, PoE, SC2 I will not criticize your game choice if you don't mine.
should have used newegg.
*~To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.~*
The guy that bought the monitor is epic. Warms my tiny robot heart
This is what a guild should be. And i am sure the extreme right wingers will go and say. see now it is rewarding to be unemployed and get a new monitor for it while i have to buy my own.
It is the same people that deep inside them think god damn the homeless bums gets free food everyday at the soup kitchen it is outrageous and needs to stop i have to buy my own at Walmart.

First of all I want to mention that this method is not just for farm fresh eggs. Store bought or strait from the coop, your end result will be beautiful hard boiled eggs!
Have you ever tried to peel a farm fresh hard boiled egg? I have, and it's not a pretty sight. Unlike older, store bought eggs, no matter how hard you try the shell will not let go of the egg, leaving you with a lumpy, broken mess!! With my new egg laying machines and tons of fresh eggs the only thing I could think to do was hide a dozen eggs in the back of my fridge and wait for them to get old (the older the egg the easier it is to peel). This works as long as you know two weeks in advance when you are going to want a hard boiled egg. I don't know about you, but when I want egg salad, I want it now, not two weeks from now!!
That was not my only problem with hard boiling eggs, I usually over boiled them and ended up with a green ring around the yolk….for some reason greenish colored, lumpy, deviled eggs are not very appetizing. So I started researching and experimenting, and experimenting, and experimenting…….and this method left me with sun colored yolks and EASILY peel-able eggs!
Start by placing a pot of water on the stove to boil. Make sure it's enough water to cover the eggs. While your waiting for the water to boil take a (clean) thumb tack and poke a small hole in the fat end of each egg.
Be careful, you want to make a hole but not push the tack all the way in. The goal here is to put a tiny hole in the shell where the air sack is and not poke through the membrane inside. When the water is at a hard boil, and you have a tiny hole in each egg, gently (VERY gently) place the eggs in the boiling water and set the timer for 15 minutes.Keep them at a low boil for the entire time. If you pushed the tack in to far you will see streams of egg white floating in the water. It's no big deal, that egg will just not be as pretty as the rest. After you do this a few times you will get the hang of it.
While they are boiling prepare a bowl of ice water in your sink. When the timer goes off immediately remove the pan and drain the boiling water. Then place the hot eggs into the ice water.
Wait about 15-20 minutes and take them out one at a time to peel.
These are eggs that were laid this morning….see how nicely they peeled.
This is an egg that I poked the tack in to far and some of the the egg white escaped. Not a good look for deviled eggs, but will still taste great in egg salad. 🙂
See how nice and pretty the yolk is!!
I'm so glad I can make deviled eggs whenever I want instead of having to plan ahead and hide them in the back of the fridge to get old. I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. The tack trick takes a little practice, but if all you have is fresh eggs to peel it's definitely worth the effort.
I found this method at: Paths of Wrighteousness

LSAT Preparation > Studying for the LSAT
Can I opt for a computer-based LSAT?
Hi all,
From what I hear I understand the LSAT is only paper-based. No possibility for a computer-based test (like the GMAT for instance). Is that correct?
8) Yes, You are correct, Sir!
Only PAPER and PENCIL. It seems that it woulbe easy enough to convert the test, but this would require work and it seems that while the LSAC wants your money, they don't necessarily want to work for it.
When I took the LSAT in June 2000 we started with a survey of what we would think of a computerized version. I guess nothing came of that.

Throwing it out there
I have an Exiles Translation of the Getty representation of Fiore's manual on PDF that covers material from the Abrazare to the sword in two hands Gicco Stretto plays. For some reason unknown to me they removed the sword in one hand and sword in two hands plays on their Getty translation. If anyone would thinks they would find it useful pm me I will see what I can do about emailing to them.
EDIT: For those interested I also have a PDF of Hutton, a PDF containing some later German longsword materual, and PDF of Thomas Page's broadsword Material.

Nope. You're insinuating a White Knight is a bad thing which it isn't. Your post isn't constructive. All you're doing is basically insulting those that defend MoP.
No it didn't. It began way earlier but going to sarcasm isn't making your points more valid.My apologies let me be more specific. The beta for Mists of Pandaria began sept 25

text: Can't say I like these. The only way I could see them working in an outfit is with slim cut jeans, possibly with a selvedge cuff for a bit of interest. I certainly wouldn't wear them on a bike- your feet will catch fire. Probably... Also, given that they are fabric, I can kind of see them falling apart. I'd opt for a leather version instead.

The FDA announced three recalls this week affecting cardiovascular care. In addition to immediately discontinuing the use of these products and contacting the related companies, healthcare professionals are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information online at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm.
Here's more information on the individual recalls:
Boston Scientific has issued a recall notice for these catheters after finding that the catheter tip can break inside of the patient and embolize causing tissue and blood vessel injury, heart attack or other serious events requiring additional unplanned surgery.
Maquet Datascope Corporation has notified customers by letter of a defective fan in the power supply may cause overheating and shut down the device without visible or audible alarms. Consequences of unanticipated interruption of therapy may include the inability to decrease already-present ischemia, thrombus formation, organ injury or other serious events.
Terumo is advising customers that foreign fragments of adhesive and plastic in the cannula tip may embolize causing arterial injury, hemorrhaging or other serious events requiring unplanned surgery. Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation (Terumo CVS) decided to remove the product line from the market and discontinue further supply.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE — It was time, Mike Brookhart said, to step down leading Cherry Creek football.
On Wednesday, after he told his Bruins players and made it official, Brookhart, a 1979 graduate of the school, said he was at peace with the decision.
"The timing was right," the 51-year-old said. "I love it here."
And it's not like he's going anywhere — he'll continue to be the head coach of Bruins boys basketball. His team has a game tonight against Arapahoe.
"My family has been my biggest supporters and it's different now for us in terms of time management," he said. "It's just time to step aside. I still love coaching basketball and I still love Cherry Creek High School."
But with his two adopted daughters, a wife and a household to run, being the head guy for both the state's largest school's football and boys basketball programs got to be a bit much. Brookhart stepped in four years ago and had a state runnerup finish in 2008, losing to Mullen 20-16 in the final, but his time commitments needed to change.
"I'm proud of what we did," Brookhart said. "We had four nice years and did some really good things."
It's unknown if Dave Logan, who was ousted last week at rival Mullen, will be his replacement.
Athletic director Darren Knox referred all inquiries to district director of communications Tustin Amole, who said the job will be posted until Friday, "which isn't unusual," and the school hopes to move quickly to name a new coach.
The school has put together a committe of parents, staff and students, Amole said, who will be a part of the interviewing process. No timeline has been set, but it "will depend on how many qualified candidates will be interviewed."
Concerning Logan, Amole said, "We would be happy to have him apply, just like anyone else."
Logan could not be reached for comment.
