I'm a fan of most of the Effaclar range, but not of this. I find if you put it on a spot it doesn't let the spot come to a head. Instead I'm left with a huge lump under my skin that no matter how much I squeeze, it won't pop (sorry for being gross). This lump then remains there for ages. I'm actually afraid to use it on spots now as iv been left with a good few boil type spots from it. I know popping spots can leave scars but I find once they pop they die down and go away. I'd rather that then have these 'dead' lumps under my skin.
Effaclar duo plus is great though.
Love this stuff! So far this has been the best spot treatment i have found! It works best on spots that u can tell are going to pop up in the early stages and weirdly it does stop it from forming into a spot.. It does work on existing spots however takes a few days to heal them. I will continue to purchase as this has been the only spot cream i have found that actually works! If i find anything better ill update but so far this is my go to when i have a breakout! Great for overnight use!

Bit 'meh'. I used it on spots on my face and it did very little. I am now slathering it on ingrown hairs so as to use it up. I will not repurchase.
First, I would like to say that I (now) use this once a day as a preventive treatment.
I used to have blemishes every day, 1 to 3 at a time, all around my chin and since I started using this preventively I'm blemishes free, for real! It did what no other product could and I've tried almost everything, even I'm confused on how can this "cure" my acne problem with no side effects (it doesn't dry out the skin were I put it). I always keep 2 or 3 extra packages of this just in case they discontinue it.
I wore heavy makeup the whole of yesterday and i used so many products that i cant really guess which one caused me to break out. at the end of the night when i took off my makeup i noticed a huge red pimple on my left cheek, it was painful to touch and sore. i have a photoshoot today, so obviously i was freaked out as hell.
i use effaclar duo under my moisturiser whenever my skin feels like it may breakout. so last night i did the same and i spot treated with A.I. on top of my moituriser. i woke up and the pimple is almost gone, i mean, i can still see it but its almost flat enough for me to cover with foundation (dont think i'll even need a concealer, seriously, that goood!!!).
i have had this product for a while and i have used it off an on but i guess i have never really bothered to keep track of what its doing, but after this experience i think its safe to say this is gonna be my HG spot treatment for pimples. it didnt dry out my skin or mak my skin flake, just gone? how is that even possible? if i had known i would have clicked a before and after for proof but i think after a couple more nights with it i dont think there will be any proof of a before to tell.
i guess it also helped that i treated the problem as soon as it appeared, and so i think that's what i would reccommend. pop this one one as soon as you see something popping or somethink lurking just below the surface and watch this magician do its trick. no more fancy stuff for me. simple, cheap products sometimes work wonders. my faith is restored.
I have been very please with this purchase. It is highly concentrated- a little goes a long way. I purchased it for bumps and blackheads i can feel but cannot see or remove myself. I also have a blocked pore on my cheek that has been there for ages but i can never seem to get a facialist that can remove it or do anything with it really without recommending that i use hard chemical peels or micro--BUT! This product has visibly reduced all spots/bumps in just four days and i have been dabbing the residue on my nose and it has been keeping blackheads at bay.
It just affirms for me that the French know what they are doing when it comes to skincare and that LRP is a great line for most skin ailments! Enjoy!

This product has grown on me over the last 18 months and I now can't live without it. I have very fair sensitive skin which prior to using LRP was blemish prone, and no matter what I tried nothing would help clear my skin.
Literally I think I've tried most brands on the market apart from prescription medication and spent hundreds of pounds on products that are a waste of time and money!! I got to the point where I had no choice but to wear full coverage makeup everyday which brought my self esteem down to zero.
I'd heard great reviews about Effaclar duo from the blogging world so decided to try it out and was really pleased with the results so bought the Effaclar AI and a few other LRP products to try for targeted blemish control. The formulation itself is very light and a cream texture unlike most of the gel based products on the market. It has little/no fragrance and you just apply to blemishes or to congested areas of your skin. It doesn't have the usual cold/tingly feeling from other treatments I'd tried and I had no irritation whatsoever.
Initially I didn't really see any improvement from using this product but in the last 9 months I have rediscovered it and its helped my skin 100%. I no longer get any visible red, sore blemishes on my face whatsoever. If I feel the start of a blemish happening I put the cream on straight away and by morning its gone. Literally as easy as that- no kidding its amazing!! I use the cream every night sparingly in areas where I previously used to break out as a preventative which has worked beautifully.
I think when I first started using this product I was using wayyyy too many blemish/acne fighting treatments/creams/toners etc and it was just too much for my skin. I was using the Effaclar face wash and toner which all contained the same ingredient Niacinamide which is great for treating acne/blemishes but it has to be in the right amount to get the best results. My advice would be to use the Effaclar AI alongside the effaclar duo as your daily moisturiser and blemish/acne treatment. For face wash, toner etc use something very simple so youre not overdoing it for example cetaphil and bioderma. Treatments like this are amazing but if you overdose your skin with the products that are supposed to be helping the skin just becomes irritated, dry and extremely sensitive.
I now am able to be make up free when I choose to be and am confident in my own skin.
100% ++++++ I would highly recommend! <3 <3

This works like magic for me, the best thing I have tried to far. I have oily skin and get a few pimples mainly on my cheeks. They usually are in the form of red bumps and they can get quite large, sometimes turning into whiteheads. This stuff does excactly what it says, it calms them down. I put it on as soon as I notice a pimple forming and it prevents it from growing. You only need to use a tiny amount and the tube lasts for ages. Good value for money if you don't have very many pimples.
I started using this when I was younger and first started breaking out. The lady at the drugstore recommended this and said it was a great product. So I purchased the whole skincare line, the toner, the cleanser and the moisturizer. Perhaps it was a little too rich for my sensitive skin because it caused the worst skin I have ever had in my life! Didnt work for me and I wouldnt recommend or buy it again.
After introducing this into my skincare routine, I find it hard to live without. I bought Effaclar A.I. because I was experiencing very good results with other effaclar products (duo, gel cleanser, k). Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is an absolute zit buster. I recently travelled to NYC (I live in HK) and the flight/jet lag took a toll on my skin - one side of my cheek flared up with 3 red, painful pimples and i immediately whipped this out and applied it liberally on my spots. The next morning my spots died down considerably and healed within 1-2 days! Amazing stuff. I also put this on areas with clogged pores and I am beyond pleased with the results! My skin has cleared up almost 85%!
I've said it before, LRP's Effaclar line has done wonders for my skin- and I do not say this lightly. I'm a very impatient person when it comes to skincare products, all because my skin is so bad, I want it to improve ASAP. When I came across Effaclar products in March, the only reason why I have been so patient and have stuck with it is because it is one of those rare products that you can really see progress with. I have witnessed my skin improving each month (it's still not perfect and I still breakout, but it has been way more under control) and am confident that it will continue to heal over time!
Also, feel free to wear this under your makeup because unlike other targeted zit products, this is cream like, dries transparent, leaves no film and doesn't ball up. I usually apply this at night, but occasionally under my foundation when I'm breaking out!
I've repurchased this twice - and will soon pick up my 3rd tube! Go Effaclar!

There's no doubt that you're going to want to remember every aspect of your wedding, forever - the type of flowers you had, what your cake looked like, and of course, what your wedding announcement looked like in the paper that day. Unfortunately, taking a picture of the announcement just doesn't cut it, and simply keeping a clipping in a box, won't stand the test of time. Nope, if you want that memory to last forever, a professional display is the best way to preserve your wedding announcement. So, Why not Crystalize it?

Because acrylic is an extremely sturdy substance, it's often used to preserve important historical items or memorabilia. It also extremely transparent, allowing someone from the outside to easily see what's been placed on the inside. Add to that, its unassuming, adapt-to-anything aesthetic, and you have a material that works wonders for creating keepsakes to fondly recall important occasions.
When someone receives printed and publicized acknowledgment for work well done, they want to display it prominently and proudly. Cut out newspaper and magazine articles get lost and tattered if not properly preserved.
Do you preserve articles? How about fortune cookies? How many of us have kept our good fortunes just in case.
There is something about buying a frame that will never be duplicated. My wife for example loves to go and pick out frames and really gets into color matching, room decor, style. Local frame shops and unique framing places are great for this type of purchasing and experience. But you can only go so far with a frame and most of the time it will be emcompassed in glass and be very breakable and the content will be exposed more frequently and not last quite as long as a laminated plaque.
When should you send out your wedding invitations?
You might be thinking "White Wedding" from the Billy Idol song. (sorry for putting that in your head).
Prior to the invention of the Printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 1447, weddings in England were typically announced by means of a Town crier: a gentleman who would walk through the streets announcing in a loud voice the news of the day. Traditionally, anyone within earshot became part of the celebration.
Imagaine trying to read them all in one day? Impossible? Maybe, but at In The News Inc. we try our best to read them all.
The saying dates back to the Victorian Era centuries old, and is a must for brides to be. The tradition has become a symbol of good luck and is also a way to say thank you to those you admire.

Convergencialatina´s Maps are info-graphic tools that enable you to know the setting within a certain telecom sector in Latin American at a mere glance.
As part of the news service, our subscribers get all the Maps, and their updates.
"Free trials" do not include getting Convergencialatina´s Maps for free.
If you're one of our subscribers, you can buy our Maps by clicking on "Buy".
We decided to launch a new Map to show in detail the infrastructure supporting 55 million fixed broadband accesses and 150 million mobile broadband accesses.
Technological convergence has fully landed in Latin America: the trend in large corporate groups (América Móvil, Telefónica) is to focus their efforts on unifying their business units
21.3% will belong to C band, 34.4% to Ku band, 8.8% to L band, and the Ka band will have 34.8% as from Star One new generation satellites.
In its first edition, seeks to represent the complex structure of broadcasting and telecommunications sectors in one of the leading countries throughout Latin America.
For 2013, the region is expected to define a profile of use of this technology: beyond going at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies, it is still unclear what for is 4G.
The regions relevance regarding macro-economics terms will continue strengthening. Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Tigo are increasingly more dependant on the revenue coming from Latin America
The growth of DTH, broadband services and mobile satellite is a promising framework to launch new satellites with total or partial footprint in the region.
The hegemonic consolidation of América Movil and Telefónica strengthens with the need of both groups to structure their operations to face new competition modalities required by full convergence.
Increase n the use of satellite services in State Networks takes place together with a larger participation of Government in space projects: at least 35% of the launchings scheduled for the period 2011-2014 belong to State initiatives.
In 2012, operators will be focused on moving forwards 4G and on boosting data consumption so as to keep business vital. 4G would reach the region through high bands (1.7GHz-2.1 GHz-2.5 GHz). The destination of the 700 MHz band is still being discussed. So far, only Uruguay, has released bad so as to offer mobile services.

A Brief Introduction to our Association
The Malta Model Boat Association was formed in 1994 to promote the sport of remote controlled yacht racing in Malta. In its formative years the club was successful to the extent of organising both National and International events culminating in the World Championships in 1999. As often happens, following such a large event, interest in the sport had wained for a period of a few years. However due to a few enthusiastic members the club has contined to promote the sport locally. Thanks must be given to Robert Deleonardo (ex-President) and Albert Micallef (ex-Treasurer) who have tirelessly continued to organise events and promote the sport during these lean years.
The club has now ressurected itself and the new committee and members are showing enthusiasm with regard to rebuilding the club back to its former status.The 2013 IOM Malta Open Championships being a prime example as we had almost double the number of skippers when compared to 2012. We would welcome any new or prospective members to contact the club on the enquiry form as we would be able to allow the use of one of the club members boats if you wish to try out this wonderful and relaxing sport.
Although we only have a limmited number of boats actively racing, the enthusiasm and competetive spirit combined with the immense friendliness of the club members makes participation a real pleasure.
One of the principle aims of the club is to encourage the younger generation to join in the sport thereby ensuring the future of remote controlled sailing in Malta. The club is now actively organising "fun race days", details in the notice area above, where anyone interested in trying their hand at sailing one of these hi-tech and fast sailing yachts is welcome to come along.
We also welcome visitors from abroad to come and join us on our saiiing days which are now being organised all over the Island, to meet our members and share in the enjoyment of the sport. So if you are planning a trip over to our lovely island, please contact us as we look forward to meeting you.

New Year's Eve is one of my favorite times of the year.
And not because I look forward to the lavish parties folks like to hold on that final night of the year.
In fact, I don't party at all.
My wife and I have actually established a neat little ritual that lets us say adios to the outgoing year... and to welcome in the new one by setting some goals for the one that's coming in.
We dress up and go out for a late dinner - usually at one of the nice local eateries that we like and support. But before we do, the two of us always sit by the fire and have our most important "family talk" of the year.
Each year, you see, I write an "annual report" that details our achievements for that year. These can include accomplishments at work or in the civic projects we're involved with, great investments we've made, and projects we've completed.
As my wife and I sit by the fire, we review that "report" - and celebrate our accomplishments. And then we establish goals for the New Year - creating an "action plan" whose success or failure we'll review at our "chat" the following New Year's Eve.
I'm sharing this story for a reason: My wife and I have been doing this for more than a decade now. That's long enough to see that this "tradition" has had a positive impact on our lives.
And it points to a habit that I believe every investor should develop.
I'm talking about developing a personal investment plan.
It can help make you a winner. In fact, it can help make you rich.
And today I'm going to show you how...
A Superhighway to Super Wealth
You've heard me say this many times - the road to wealth is paved with high tech.
And like any journey, you're more likely to arrive at your intended destination safely, on time - and without getting lost - if you have a proper map.
And that "map" is essentially what an investment-action plan is all about.
I'm speaking from years of experience.
There's a very good reason that an investment-action plan breeds success: The actual process of creating the plan - and being honest about your goals, your feelings about risk, and about the amount of capital you have to work with - dramatically elevates the odds that you're going to succeed.
With that in mind, let's go through just what your specific action plan might actually look like.
Getting Started
Let's take a look at how you can use these guidelines to start putting together your action plan for 2014.
You need to:
- Detail Your Goals and Objectives: This section is crucial because your goals - how much you need and when you'll need it - influence every other part of the plan. It might start out with a statement akin to: "I intend to retire in 20 years, and know that I will need to have a net worth of at least $2 million to make this happen." Your objectives might include some near-term goals, as well, such as funding your child's college education, buying a vacation house, setting up a foundation, or retiring to travel abroad. Be sure to list all your goals, as well as the estimated costs. And don't forget to include your dreams - buying an antique car, a boat, or that small farm "upstate." After all, dreams are what make life special.
- Assess Your Feelings About Risk: You need to be honest as you assess your capacity for risk. After all, the greatest investment plan in the world won't work if you won't stick with it. For instance, if volatility freaks you out, maybe you choose investments - such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) - that still offer high average annual gains, but that don't have the wild swings that the underlying individual stocks might experience. On the other hand, if you have ambitious (aggressive) financial goals, or are getting a late start, you're going to have to look at higher-growth investments - which, by definition, carry higher risks. Being honest about risk will help you come to terms with this reality.
- Draw a Map: Goals are great, but you have to figure out how you're going to reach that destination. You need to work out how much you need to be putting away today, tomorrow, and next year in order to get where you want to be. Make sure you're taking advantage of all that's available - like the company "match" in your 401(k).
- Start Now: As part of your statement of purpose, make sure you say what you're going to do in 2014. It might read something like "invest in quality technology stocks with the potential to double my money."
Somewhere in your plan, make sure to address the specific steps you've been putting off - such as making better use of stop losses to protect your capital and profits. It might also include a target return for your portfolio - for instance, stating that you're pursuing 25% gains.
Working the Plan
Now that you've done your review, you need to put it all together. This part of the document will detail your plan:
- Investment Focus: In this part, you will specify the areas where you are already invested and where you want to go. It gives you a bird's-eye view of how you intend to blend things like real-estate, bonds, precious metals, retirement accounts, and, of course, technology stocks. Detail how you need to rebalance your holdings, shedding losers and searching for new potential winners.
- Success Journal: It's important that you keep track of your investment decisions and why you made them. That way, if you are making mistakes that cost you money, you can review the results you got so that you can make better decisions next time. You also should commit to reviewing your trading journal at specific intervals, no less than once a quarter - monthly is better. You want to uncover destructive patterns before they cost you serious money.
- Tools and Education: You should commit yourself to continuing to improve your skills as an investor. There are several ways you can do this, such as attending seminars on how to chart stocks or taking a newsletter written by an editor you trust and who has a good track record.
Happy New Year!

Thursday night, Kate Middleton had her first official appearance since she and William moved back to London and, much to everyone's surprise, she looked like a 200-year-old hag that was just dragged out of the sea. JK. The Duchess looked awesome, as usual. But seriously, when is this woman going to look like a sea hag?! Commoners heart sea hags!
Kate hosted a 100 Women in Hedge Funds Philanthropic Initiatives gala dinner at the Kensington Palace State Apartments. She wore a stunning low-cut, navy blue gown with cap sleeves that was, unsurprisingly, Jenny Packham. And she completed the look with a diamond bracelet; long, loose curls; and natural makeup. She looked every bit her usual lovely self and didn't appear, for a second, to be sleep-deprived.
It isn't every day that we see a gown with a sweetheart neckline and longish cap sleeves, but I've gotta say: It should be. The sleeves make this dress, and it's a nice departure from the go-to strapless or sleeveless dresses we're so used to seeing on celebs.
Kate, you've done it again. Now, can you at least go as a sea hag for Halloween?
What do you think of the Duchess' latest look?
Image via Splash News
She always looks great because she dresses in classic styles not trendy. Pure elegance not the trash you see here in the USA.
The headline and beginning of this report, I found unacceptable.
It is not clever or witty it is just crass and attention seeking for the author... not a successful report . I suggest That Duchess of Cambridge needs no additions, she shines for herself and in her own way. Her style is her own. Lovely
she looks just beautiful . amazing color for her ..but then shes always looking beautiful .. !!
Classy and elegant. Exactly what I would expect from her.
Yeeaah that's not "natural makeup".

Atmosphere around Edmonton Oilers players more about winning, rather than trying not to lose
By ROBERT TYCHKOWSKI, QMI Agency
DENVER - It's usually pretty early when people in Edmonton look at the Oilers and say "It's going to be a long season."
And it's happening already.
Only this time, they mean it in a good way — like, for the first time in seven years, the season might not be over when the regular schedule ends.
Playoffs? Playoffs!
If only former Colts coach Jim Mora could see what's going on here.

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Golly, I don't have enough pockets for all my cash!
If you get all of your fashion guidance from this blog – and boy, you should be easy to spot in a crowd – you know I pay close attention to police decoy fashions.
Tempting bad guys to commit crimes is a challenge in our litigious society. So as usual, I'm attending the annual "Hook 'em and Book 'em."
Am I glad I came this year! There is an exciting new surprise twist to the show.
What this unsuspecting model doesn't know is, Hollywood loose cannon Mickey Rourke is in the audience! Mickey was told to study for the part of a hood whose father was sent away by a police decoy during a Pinky Lee tribute.
Models, we're havin' a Wingding!
Okay, fashion show staff, I wanna know who played this little joke, and I wanna know now!
You know what I'm talking about. One of you printed up some "books" with that Microsoft Wingdings font, and told the models there would be a "test" after the show!
You've reached the firm of Ponce, Bonache and Gotcha!
Blog Guy, do you stand behind the info in your photo captions? Is there a chance anybody ever pulls a fast one on you?
We do our best to check information, but my own personal suspicion is that sometimes people in Spain are having a laugh at my expense.
High fashion, it's all in the execution?
Blog Guy, please let me jump in here quickly because I have special fashion needs which are fairly urgent.
Okay, I've never heard of urgent fashion needs, but go on…
I'm Judy, a wartime spy facing the firing squad, and naturally I want to look my best. I'm furious! No designers are producing chic blindfolds!
So, you like shoulder skulls, Liz?
Hi, are you Liz? It's me - Lamar – your Internet date!
So, at last we meet!. That's quite an outfit, Liz. I guess you must have just come from some theatrical thing or something? Oh. You just came from the dentist, huh? Well…
I hope you like it here at Denny's. Their country fried steak is… Excuse me, Liz, um, that little skull on your shoulder just said something to me.
A box of castanets for my pink bird, please…
Blog Guy, like many of your readers I have very special fashion needs. I dance the flamenco.
You mean those festive pink birds like I have in my front yard?
No, those are flamingos. I dance the flamenco. You know, with castanets.
That candy you get at the movies?
No, those are Raisinets! Please try to follow me. I clap my hands and stamp my feet a lot.
Nice melons, soldier!
Blog Guy, you seem to know quite a lot about how the military works in various countries, so I have a question.
I'll do my best.
I was wondering how the paramilitary police carry watermelons in China.
I get that question a lot, and I believe this photo illustrates the technique they use.
Two thousand folks to avoid?
A few months ago I launched a Facebook Network Page for readers of this blog. It was largely a public service, so readers could recognize and avoid one another in social situations.
Anyway, fast-forward to yesterday, when some innocent reader became the 2,000th person who was willing to admit to following this blog.
It's ME, Grammy, all dressed up!
Dear Mr. Big Shot Fashion Designer:
I am writing to say I believe you designers should be required to include, on every outfit you sell, a label suggesting places where the thing can be worn.
This would certainly help me respond when my wife says, "Bob, what is this fricking crap in your closet, and just where do you think you're going in it?"
Stand out, but not too much…
Blog Guy, you don't know me… You never saw me, we never had this conversation. I know you help people with certain fashion needs find appropriate attire. I represent the 42 million people in the Witness Protection Program. When you're disguised all the time, it's not easy to look chic.
Wait a minute. There are 42 million of us?
Us? You're in the program? Hey, clever disguise, doing a blog that anybody in the world can read. Then you know we have parties, cruises, WPP discounts… So is anybody creating fashions for us?

On Windows, the recommended way to run MySQL is to install it as a Windows service, so that MySQL starts and stops automatically when Windows starts and stops, and can be managed using the service manager framework. A MySQL server installed as a service can also be controlled from the command line using NET commands, or with the graphical Services utility. Generally, to install MySQL as a Windows service you should be logged in using an account that has administrator rights.
The Services utility (the Windows Service Control Manager) can be found in the Windows Control Panel (under on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Server 2003). To avoid conflicts, it is advisable to close the Services utility while performing server installation or removal operations from the command line.
Before installing MySQL as a Windows service, you should first stop the current server if it is running by using the following command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqladmin"
-u root shutdown
If the MySQL
root user account has a
password, you need to invoke mysqladmin
with the
-p option and supply the password
when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility
mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell
it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL
root user, which is the default
administrative account in the MySQL grant system. Note that
users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any
login users under Windows.
Install the server as a service using this command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --install
The service-installation command does not start the server.
The following additional arguments can be used when installing the service:
You can specify a service name immediately following the
--install option. The default service name
If a service name is given, it can be followed by a single
option. By convention, this should be
to specify the name of an option file from which the server
should read options when it starts.
The use of a single option other than
--defaults-file is possible
but discouraged.
--defaults-file is more
flexible because it enables you to specify multiple startup
options for the server by placing them in the named option
You can also specify a
option following the service name. This causes the server to
run using the
LocalService Windows
account that has limited system privileges. This account is
available only for Windows XP or newer. If both
--defaults-file and
--local-service are given following the
service name, they can be in any order.
For a MySQL server that is installed as a Windows service, the following rules determine the service name and option files that the server uses:
If the service-installation command specifies no service
name or the default service name (
following the
--install option, the server
uses the a service name of
MySQL and
reads options from the
[mysqld] group in
the standard option files.
If the service-installation command specifies a service name
other than
MySQL following the
--install option, the server uses that
service name. It reads options from the
[mysqld] group and the group that has the
same name as the service in the standard option files. This
enables you to use the
[mysqld] group for
options that should be used by all MySQL services, and an
option group with the service name for use by the server
installed with that service name.
If the service-installation command specifies a
--defaults-file option after
the service name, the server reads options the same way as
described in the previous item, except that it reads options
only from the named file and ignores the standard option
As a more complex example, consider the following command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld"
--install MySQL --defaults-file=C:\my-opts.cnf
Here, the default service name (
MySQL) is
given after the
--install option. If no
--defaults-file option had been
given, this command would have the effect of causing the server
to read the
[mysqld] group from the standard
option files. However, because the
--defaults-file option is
present, the server reads options from the
[mysqld] option group, and only from the
named file.
On Windows, if the server is started with the
--defaults-file and
--install options,
--install must be first.
mysqld.exe will attempt to start
the MySQL server.
You can also specify options as Start parameters in the Windows Services utility before you start the MySQL service.
Once a MySQL server has been installed as a service, Windows starts the service automatically whenever Windows starts. The service also can be started immediately from the Services utility, or by using a NET START MySQL command. The NET command is not case sensitive.
When run as a service, mysqld has no access
to a console window, so no messages can be seen there. If
mysqld does not start, check the error log to
see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the
cause of the problem. The error log is located in the MySQL data
directory (for example,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 5.1\data). It is the file with a
suffix of
When a MySQL server has been installed as a service, and the
service is running, Windows stops the service automatically when
Windows shuts down. The server also can be stopped manually by
using the
Services utility, the NET
STOP MySQL command, or the mysqladmin
shutdown command.
You also have the choice of installing the server as a manual
service if you do not wish for the service to be started
automatically during the boot process. To do this, use the
--install-manual option rather than the
--install option:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --install-manual
To remove a server that is installed as a service, first stop it
if it is running by executing NET STOP MySQL.
Then use the
--remove option to
remove it:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --remove
If mysqld is not running as a service, you can start it from the command line. For instructions, see Section 126.96.36.199, "Starting MySQL Server from the Windows Command Line".
Please see Section 2.3.7, "Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows MySQL Server Installation", if you encounter difficulties during installation.

Disappointing But No Surprise + Conference Call Remarks
Al Cimaglia | Aug 02, 2010 | Comments 116
As a Blackhawk fan I'm disappointed in the decision to walk away from Antti Niemi and sign Marty Turco. As someone who tries to convey what's happening while using some judgment and instinct to connect the dots, this comes as no surprise.
The Hawk sign Turco for a speculated $1.75 million and save $1 million in salary cap space as Niemi becomes a UFA. The exact amount of Turco's contract is not known but it could have been as low as in the $1.0-$1.5 million range. Chris Kuc from the Tribune reported that was the case.
Readers were prepared for this outcome.
From my blog on July 23…
I don't believe Niemi's contract negotiation will be settled by an arbitrator unless the Hawks have already decided to go in a different direction. There are risks for both sides in going that route, but Niemi has the most to lose.
If for some reason Hawk management is not as high on Niemi as most believe there will be an arbitration hearing involving both parties next Thursday. If that is the case Bowman has options and Turco waiting in the wings.
From my blog on August 1…
My objective opinion is Niemi will continue to improve and the Hawks should try to keep him. That said, my gut feeling is the team may still go in a different direction. Niemi was popular among his teammates and that might be the best thing going for him.
If the Hawks deal Niemi the front runner to replace him is most likely Turco. At this point if Niemi isn't re-signed nothing should come as a shock.
Turco will probably play for the Hawks at a deep discount. Possibly he could sign here for at least one million dollars less than Niemi's $2.75 million award.
I do believe the players will be very disappointed by this decision. They are professionals and personnel decisions are not up to them. But it would be best for all concerned for the Hawks to have a good start to next season. That could be a lot to ask considering all of the roster changes.
Al's Shots
Comments from Monday morning's conference call.
Stan Bowman remarked the Hawks made a couple of offers to Niemi. He said they couldn't work anything out and they decided to do what was best for the team. Bowman maintained there was a multi-year offer made although Niemi's agent Bill Zito contradicts that claim.
Bowman commented Turco is hungry to win a Cup and will be a good mentor for Corey Crawford. Turco mentioned he is excited and looking forward to working toward winning the Stanley Cup.
The former Star remarked the last few seasons have been very difficult because of not making the playoffs. Turco said his health is very good and he did turn down other offers to become a Blackhawk.
Turco wouldn't comment specifically if one of the teams bidding for his services was the Flyers. Bowman did mention that they have been interested in Turco for awhile and he appreciated his patience throughout the process.
The Hawks GM remarked the Cristobal Huet situation will now be a priority.
Bowman mentioned he spoke to Niemi at the arbitration hearing but has not spoken to him since.
Bowman concluded by commenting the team is almost set, but they still need to add a defenseman.

Boynton signing will be huge as the three year no injury miracle run will likely come to an end.
This franchise is very thin right now Al.
Remember when Toews broke his finger early in his career and missed about 12 games? Can you imagine what a crisis a similar injury would be early in 2010-11?
It looks to me that legit veteran guys comparable to Brendan Morrison, Willie Mitchell and even Niemi are going to sign low money two way contracts if they want to continue in the NHL at this point.
yep…I keep waiting for a veteran forward addition….
There are a few good vets still out there. The whole Kovy ruling certainly isn't helping matters. We might see a record for camp invites / signings this year.
yep..A few players will fall through the cracks and turn out to be huge bargains.
Hawks re-sign Boynton to a 1 year deal.
Al, now that the dust seems to have settled, and the Blackhawks appear to have their personnel in place prior to training camp, I wonder if their chances this year aren't just as good as last year.
Assuming Huet's salary is off the books, CapGeek figures the Hawks have about $2mil in cap room.
Room enough to bring up Beach (or another prospect) occasionally and/or sign a budget priced forward (or d-man).
So looking at an overview:
Top 6 Toews/Kane/Hossa/Sharp/Bolland/Brouwer or Kopecky; bottom 6 Bickell/Dowell/Stalberg (who might crack Top 6), Skille/whoever.
Not too shabby.
Top 4 on D intact. Bottom pairing Hendry/Boynton/Scott combos, with either Hendry or Scott being able to move up front.
Pretty good.
Turco/Crawford in net. Seems solid enough to me.
And no other team in the West has made significant improvements. So CHI looks to be in good posture IMO.
What do you think?
'Hawks look solid.
What remains to be seen is what injuries occur and when and how the depth holds up. Who can step up from the bottom two lines to contribute on a somewhat frequent basis.
I echo Shruew's thoughts…
Plus…Youth is great but there was a lot of NHL game experience lost because of the cap dumps.
Beach would probably be fun to watch…but maybe someone like Billy Guerin could be more useful.
Al, what do you think of Owen Nolan as a potential addition? One tough hombre who's been around and gives no quarter. He scores some clutch goals too.
I like him…
But I do remember him putting a big, questionable hit on Sharp last season???
Also Nolan has been injury prone.
Al, I like Owen Nolan–you are right about his injury factor. Last year he showed his age in that respect.
Fernando Pisani looks like he has been granted that 'veteran utility forward' spot, per TSN. Scouting report/history here.
Pisani has skill but his colitis problem has hurt his career..only played in half of the games last season…
But that is why Bowman got him for $500k.
AL> so if CapGeek's numbers are accurate, Hawks will have a 21-man roster, and Bowman will have about $1.5 in cap space once Huet is off the books.
CG's figures here:
PS Pisani is a very good PK man, so even if he only plays 4th line minutes and special teams, sounds like a bargain at 500K.

|The round house
by Erdrich, Louise.
This isn't a difficult recommendation as it just won the National Book Award, however, the story and the writing is so powerful. As a reader I was drawn into the story at such a level that I could deeply feel the emotions of the boy telling the story - his fears, anger, and despondency over what has happened to his mother, the course of events, and the realization of who the people around him really are. posted Feb 26, 2013 at 9:19AM

|Unbroken : a World War II story of survival, resilience, and redemption
by Hillenbrand, Laura.
I continuously shook my head in disbelief that this is a nonfiction book. A potential Olympic marathon runner turned air force soldier overcomes unbelievable odds time and time again through world war II. It starts with his plane crashing into the ocean. Midway through the book, I couldn't see how it would continue for another 200 pages but the trials and tribulations continue upon rescue. It's a nail biter through and through and truly helps you see just how incredible the human spirit can be. posted Feb 15, 2013 at 2:06PM

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion every where.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.

In his prescient, early study of Marcel Proust, Samuel Beckett focuses upon several specific episodes in Remembrance of Things Past where the narrator Marcel abruptly sees before him times corrosive invasion. In one of the more poignant scenes described by Beckett, the young Marcel returns rapidly to Paris from his travels in order to be with his ailing grandmother. The day before, in Doncières, he had spoken with her on the telephone, hearing a voice almost unrecognizable, so different, Beckett writes, from the one that he had been accustomed to follow on the open score of her face that he does not recognise it as hers. Marcel arrives at his grandmothers home and quietly, unannounced and unseen, enters the drawing-room where she is sitting alone, resting and reading. But, as Beckett states, the narrator suddenly feels he is not there because she does not know that he is there. He is present at his own absence. The domestic scene disrupted, the familiar sentiments disturbed, His eye functions with the cruel precision of a camera [
.] And he realises with horror that his grandmother is dead, long since and many times [
.] This mad old woman, drowsing over her book, overburdened with years, flushed and coarse and vulgar, is a stranger whom he has never seen.

Although two years have passed since she went abroad, Vita Kan, 22, a student a St. Petersburg State University in St. Petersburg, Russia, still misses her time as an exchange student in the U.S. While attending Colby College in Maine, she studied English, German and organic chemistry and spent her free time traveling.
"I miss the MoMA and I'm sad that I haven't been to the Guggenheim," she said, recalling the fond memories from New York City, one of her favorite travel destinations. "Everyone is dreaming to go there and I spent so much time there. I think even now if I go to New York, I'd know for sure how to get to the Empire State Building, Times Square and Central Park."
But coming home as also a fond memory, Kan said. She never got homesick — except for on her birthday — and talked to her parents every day on Skype.
"It was nice to come back and see my parents and all the other people close to me," she said.
Two years later, Kan is deep into her studies of medicine at St. Petersburg State.

Meanwhile, as another semester ends in the U.S., another generation of exchange students is gearing up to head home.
"I'm going to be really happy to see my friends and spend some time with my family," said Noémie Brullard, 20, who spent the semester studying at Boston University. "I also can't wait to walk in the streets of Paris. I love that city."
In France, Brullard studies biotechnology at Sup'Biotech in Paris, a university that requires third-year students to spend a semester abroad. Brullard chose to study in the U.S. to improve her English, intern at a laboratory and discover new things.
"Taking classes wasn't as difficult as I expected," she said. "But the education system is completely different. I have a lot more classes, between 10 and 15, and a lot more hours of class, from 8:30 a.m. up till 7 p.m. [in France]."
Like Kan, Brullard also seized every opportunity to travel, visiting New York City a few times and spending Thanksgiving in New Jersey with a friend she had made on campus.
Ophélie Camile, Brullard's classmate at Sup'Biotech who also spent a semester at BU, seems to have enjoyed her time abroad as well.
"I really loved discovering Boston," said the 20-year-old biotechnology major. "My favorite memories from the semester? All of my Friday afternoons hanging out in the streets, especially around Back Bay."
A native of Rueil-Malmaison, France, Camile decided to come to the U.S. "to practice American English, instead of this ugly British English we learned at school, and to discover the American culture I've always been interested in," she said.
Brullard and Camile plan on hanging out with as many of the new friends they had made over the semester and visiting as many new places — such as Boston's Museum of Fine Arts — as time allows before they fly back to France on Saturday and return to their homes, families and friends.
"I'm looking forward to having Christmas dinner with my family and friends," said Camile. "But most of all eating good cheese."
In Russia, meanwhile, Kan, having already had a chance to reflect on her time abroad, encourages other students to make the journey to the U.S. as well.
"I was offered this wonderful opportunity," she recalled. "And I said yes because you never know when you'll ever get a chance again to go to the U.S. and get such an experience."

When it comes to keeping its thousands of servers running smoothly, Facebook relies on the open source Chef configuration manager, modified slightly to handle the size of the social networking giant's huge infrastructure.
"Chef's biggest advantage for us is its flexibility," said Phil Dibowitz, a Facebook systems engineer.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 12 "best practices" IT should avoid at all costs. | Cut to the key news for technology development and IT management with our once-a-day summary of the top tech happenings. Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Chef is one of a number of open source configuration management tools that have grown in popularity over the last few years. As data centers grow ever larger, companies look to automate routine operations around deploying and upgrading servers, switches, OSes, databases and other components. Facebook's experience in managing its infrastructure may hold lessons for other organizations as well. Facebook wanted "a new way to manage its systems," Dibowitz said.
Although Facebook does not reveal the total number of servers it runs, industry observers estimate it could be in the tens of thousands, at least. Surprisingly, the company only has a handful of employees -- four on latest count -- on the core infrastructure team, of which Dibowitz is a member. Prior to using Chef, Facebook had been using another open source configuration management package, called CFEngine. The deployment was growing increasingly unwieldy, however.
Using CFEngine version 2, Facebook was experiencing a rapid and unchecked proliferation of system control files. With CFEngine, users could not edit a configuration management file directly. Instead, each time operations engineers needed to make a change to a system, they would copy a similar system file, make the necessary changes, and then submit the file back to CFEngine. "In doing so, they added a couple hundred lines of stale configuration," Dibowitz said. As a result, the infrastructure team did not know all the various configuration permutations it had on hand, or even which of the configuration settings were outdated. "It became really unsupportable," Dibowitz said. To look for a new open source configuration management system, the team ran a number of tests comparing Chef, Puppet, and Spine, which was developed by Ticketmaster.
Chef best fit the bill for a number of reasons, Dibowitz explained.
Chef offers great flexibility on how to write configuration changes, thanks in part to how it is based on Ruby, a full-fledged programming language that can be easy to learn for administrators and engineers.
"There's no limiting factor. You don't have to be in the Domain Specific Language [DSL] that CFEngine or Puppet gives you," Dibowitz said. "From there, we had a lot of power to do what we wanted."
Chef offered a number of other advantages as well. It could manage settings at a much more granular level. It also offered more flexibility in how to manage the configuration files themselves, Dibowitz said.
Specifically, Chef provides the ability to modify a configuration file for a specific user.
"The database administrators, the Web foundation guys, the cache guys -- all these people can write just a little bit of code for just the settings they care about, and not have to worry about anything else," Dibowitz said.

new range of Crocs
Original article by Nicole Mowbray for Daily Mail (news .com.au)
Crocs are the coolest shoes you could ever buy said no one, ever! But to change the negative perception most people have of the ugly shoe, u cx xnsurprisingly, the company is eager for a revamp. CEO John McCarvel said he wants to change people's negative perceptions of the label and, as such, is launching 'a shoe for every you'. Read more here
To do this, the brand has created lots of under-the-radar 'fashion' styles that aren't obviously Crocs.
From boat shoes (as seen on Brad Pitt) to summer wedges, plimsolls (??) and wellies they have it covered. But the question remains- will crocs ever be considered acceptable in fashionable circles?
So fess up. Do you have Crocs? Do you love them and wear them proudly in public, or are you a closet (fake) crocs out to the clothesline wearer like me? Would the new range make you change your mind about the brand?
A friend of mine has a pair of croc boots, not the wellies, but real boots & I think they're kinda cool. I hate the traditional crocs though, just plain ugly.
I think they are fab for kids and the beach. Easier than thongs for little feet to wear. Cohen wore his out but they were skeechers I think. Not crocs.
I think they are quite popular with the under 5's! I loved my kids wearing crocs during toilet training personally - nothing that can't be dealt with with a hose out.
Crocs are ugly and wont ever be seen on my feet. Was trying to keep miss 3 out of them then grandma bought her a pair
Worse is she loves them. Hopefully by summer is back shes grown out of them
Even though I hate feet I respect them enough to not put them in crocs

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen:
Gold rose by 10.00 to 887.00. Silver rose by 35 cents to close at 16.83. The silver OI again remains comatose as the commercials are fleeing this arena as fast as they can.
Gold's OI contracted again on Thursday, dropping a further 7000 contracts and it rests at 416000. From my vantage point, it looks like 2.5 million oz will be eventually delivered upon:
- 1.9 million oz standing.
2. .5 million oz of gold from the May options delivery
3. a possible .1 million oz from June options and queque jumpers..
The total OI will come very close to this figure. This will reduce the OI by a further 25000 contracts. So the net OI is around 416000-25000 or 391000 which is extremely low as these are all in strong hands. As
Friday was first day notice, cartel members saw the extremely low OI and figured that they had better cover some of their shorts positions and they did.
On the oil front, we saw that the Brent Oil contract traded at a premium to West Texas Intermediate. When you see this you know the manipulation game is on. The bankers decided on Wednesday and Thursday to whack all commodities because these markets were getting too hot to handle. When the inventory levels of oil were announced , they showed a huge withdrawal of inventory. Oil shot up to 133.00 and then the cartel trotted out the CFTC to announce an investigation into the oil market. Oil fell on this news. This is nothing short of blatant manipulation. For what purpose did the CFTC serve by announcing the investigation into the pricing of oil, the investigation which got its start in Dec 2007? Clearly it was to imply there is an upward bias in the pricing of oil. Their goal: to force the longs to liquidate their holdings. It worked and oil fell by 4.00 dollars. The banks were the recipients (purchasers) of all the longs liquidated. The regulators just turn a blind eye.
Not only that, but the fall in the price oil was the cover for the cartel to rape the gold and silver holders of long contracts.
As the price of silver fell, managers at bullion banks were perplexed as many investors arrived at their doorstep to buy the precious metal as rumours are now widespread of its scarcity. Many left empty handed. One Vice President of a major Canadian bank could not understand why his allocated silver was not in the banks vault. He was paying storage costs and to his dismay, the silver was not present.
What we are witnessing is absolute fraud and theft. Silver is being used by bankers who know very well that ownership does not belong to them. The
The COT was released after the market closed on Friday and revealed some interesting aspects in the gold market. The large specs continue to pile into gold in that they added to their longs by
4600 contracts and reduced their shorts by 4700 contracts. The commercials (the smaller banks) reduced their longs by 16400 contracts but also reduced their shorts by 13500. It was the big banks that covered some of their short positions.
Strangely, the small specs entered the fray and they reduced their longs by 228 contracts and went short by 3200 contracts.
The small specs always get it wrong so we can now assume the price of gold is on its way up. Also our good friend Dennis Gartman had his entire long position in gold annihilated since his stop losses were triggered at 891.00. With gold falling on Wednesday and Thursday, he lost his entire position. He also lost his position in copper. Since Gartman announces to the world what he has done, the cartel does everything in their power to go after him and they always fleece him. And this guy gets invited on CNBC all the time as the guru of the precious metals and commodities. Give me a break. This guy is a total moron!!
In other news, the purchasers management report (

The Fed, seeing that defaults are rising faster than a speeding bullet announced on Thursday that they were going to increase the TAF auction facility at the Fed to 75 billion dollars X 3 times a month or for a sum of 225 billion dollars in June.
The Fed on Thursday also announced 16.4 billion dollars of a separate auction. They rejoiced on the low 16.4 billion figure as they were set to auction off 25 billion.
Many banks are afraid to show their hand that they went to the window as this would cause their stock to fall. During the week, we heard that Lehman Brothers totally lied to the regulators and filed false statements to regulators and to the media. A top analytical firm addressed the Empire club in NY and showed that Lehman has billions of undisclosed losses from subprime, Alt A and other level 3 assets.
The losses if revealed would wipe out its entire retained earnings as they are basically bankrupt. Meridith Whitney disclosed to Bloomberg that Citibank will not get out of its mess for at least 3 years. It has massive level 3 assets. Not to be undone, Citibank disclosed that AIG will need greater than 20 billion dollars to mend its balance sheet. And the granddaddy of them all, Goldman Sachs has over 70 billion dollars of level 3 assets which are on their books at par. And the regulators turn a blind eye.
What is most amazing, is that the chairman of the CFTC and the chairman of the SEC are on the Presidents Plunge Protection Team (Working Committee on the Economy). They see manipulation, corruption and fraud everywhere and sanction it. How they can sleep at night is a mystery.
In perhaps, the most revealing events of the day, it was announced that Moody's Investors Services had created a new unit: Moody's Analytics whose function it is to investigate the credit health of various Wall Street firms by analyzing credit default swaps. Credit Default Swaps are bets on the survival on the companies in question. The higher the price, the worse shape these guys are in. They rate independent of Moodys itself. The implied ratings from Moody's Analytics differed from the official ratings of Moodys Investors and generally the swap traders got it right. Moodys Analytics are rating MBIA and Ambac as junk. Moodys Investors, the parent, rate them as Triple A.
I can just see ligitation lawyers on this one!! The Moody's Analytic division works in a corner of Moody's new world headquarters in

In February, the Annie Russell Theatre stage was transformed into a mystical forest boasting dangling tiers of fabric as the 26-member cast, one of the biggest in Rollins history, dazzled audiences with the Shakespeare classic A Midsummer Night's Dream. Yet this production differed from the Shakespearean performances to which audiences may be accustomed.
"The biggest challenge by far is that we've had five weeks not only to produce a Shakespeare production, but also to train actors in aerial work," said Todd Espeland, one of the directors of Rollins College's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Within this significantly smaller timeframe, the cast overcame challenges to present an innovative production unlike any ever to grace the Annie stage.
Espeland and co-director Allison Williams, returning to Rollins after having directed here 10 years prior, combined the musings of Shakespeare's classic with aerial techniques and circus elements. "I love that we take [the audience] to another place on the stage," said Williams, who also serves as the show's aerial coach. "We take them above the stage. We want to feel the movements as part of the drama."
Through fabrics and hoops, students must support their body weight in a seemingly effortlessly way while managing all other responsibilities as actors. Students with no prior training must multitask with ease, as if aerial work has simply always held a spot on their resume. "I couldn't have had more fun," said Caitlyn Shirard (Class of 2012), who portrays the character of Helena. "It's exactly what I wanted my debut at the Annie to be like."
Williams boasted about the progress that was made by the cast. "I've watched students deal with fears of heights and of aerial work," she said. "It's been neat watching this go from day one. I feel like they're invested in the play. They've made something and have taken ownership of it and developed skills and moves. They can even do their own choreography now."
Despite the bruises and toil of the past weeks, the cast continues to create and deliver what will certainly be a production remembered as one of the most pioneering in the Annie's history. To learn more about the work of Allison Williams and Todd Espeland, please visit www.czuppa.com.

UNDATED (WSAU) – Wisconsin home sales rose in February for the eighth month in a row. The state's Realtors Association said today that over 3,100 existing houses were sold throughout Wisconsin in February. That's almost a 16-percent increase from the same month a year ago.
Meanwhile, the average price kept falling. It was $115,000 last month, about $2,000 less than the year before – even though the supply of available homes has fallen significantly over the past eight months.
The Realtors Association said there were about 53,000 unsold houses statewide last month – down from 72,000 last July.
Rob Keefe, who chairs the Realtors' board, said it was encouraging to see double-digit sales increases over the past five months without the distortion of a federal incentive program. He gave credit to low interest rates which have resulted in 30-year fixed mortgages going for under four-percent to qualified home-buyers. Keefe says he hopes the trend will continue over the next six months, which is the prime home-buying season in the Badger State.

If this is the long-rumored four-door sedan , then it may be upstaging cars like the Lamborghini Estoque with this muscular sedan.
Koenigsegg will have another, less exciting, premiere in Geneva. It will debut a new infotainment system for the CCX . This will incorporate all of the supercar's systems into one touchscreen, and bring some definition tho the CCX's round, minimlist interior.
