I used to make seven, Xmas cakes that is - for presents. Then I started painting pictures. Nowadays I grow lots of plants - giving red camellias this Xmas and pleased to see they have buds on. I have done quite a lot of tidying up the garden - eucalyptus bark everywhere! It was ambrosia to me to get out in the fresh air again and my few sprigs of honeysuckle are scenting the whole house. THrilled to see pink, purple and white hellebores starting to flower as well as the green. And the birds came to keep me company in their droves. The wind must have been dreadful for them. I took some pictures of my treasures since it is December 1st.
The wind has dropped and it is very mild for this time of year but looks quite damp out the garden. Still the forecast is for mostly dry so should be able to get some tidying up done and I will treat myself to some of the lovely honeysuckle for my study mantlepiece.
Oh I must look up St Oggie! I am alright with St. Andrew as St, Andrews was my first university. Two of my deliveries have arrived and i now have all the ingredients to bake my three Xmas cakes, including the most delicious looking glace golden cherries - oh how my hands were itching to try one! I have looked at the brandy bottle and it needs a new one bought this year. Forgot about that. One of my deliveries is coming next Tuesday they tell me (Black Friday log jam) and I am still awaiting my plants but they come Royal Mail who comes late to our lane.
I could as my monthly supply of food is coming today flumpy but I shall have a feast of Scottish music and poetry instead. As a teenager I was always booked to perform at some function or other on those nights!
I managed to get up the garden to inspect before the rain started again. No damage done but lots of winter honeysuckle in flower! Also loads of new strawberry flowers but they will not come to anything. If i did not have loads of frozen strawberries still to eat i would have brought the plants into the conservatory for winter strawberries!Out would come the paint brush to hand pollinate them. i have done it a few years back and it is great fun.
Thank you Snow, Same to you. I never forget it or Burns night!
That sounds good, flumpy - implies my new perfume garden will perfume the whole half acre! Which it might do actually! I already have a lot of herbs that perfume the potager where I grow my vegetables and lavender in large pots all round the garden as well as rosemary in lots of corners.
I think something along the lines of "2016 - my new perfume garden and onwards.". There will be so much that is new in my garden next year that I am looking forward to writing and photographing it immensely. The bulbs promise to be sensational for a start and all my new perennials. GWRS the great delivery day is today - some things like the groceries I only ordered yesterday. We have another yellow warning of strong winds again today,flowers, so I am not likely to be out in the garden - too dangerous when a huge bramley or a hunk of tree could fall on you. It is also very wet and still raining but very mild so I have switched off the heating. I bet the climate change talks in Paris will fail to mention how much fuel could be saved if people went back to doing things by hand or at least body power. Gardeners could do without things like lawns that need lawnmowers. Just think of the carbon emitted by the factories that make those. Long grass full of wild flowers that can be cut by the kitchen scissors appeals much more to me!
Starting on New Year's day, Verdun!
Hello Linda. Yes you need both sexes. My mail bush is flowering for the second time now but the females are covered in berries with no flowers so looks like you have a male. You can buy females covered in berries right now.

What is the difference between

I am trying to create an
IOPMAssertion that will prevent the mac from going to sleep autommatically but I really can't tell which of these I should use. I'm getting confused with their descriptions and cannot make sense of them (see the docs for this).
If you're curious, this is how I'm doing it in code:
IOReturn success = IOPMAssertionCreateWithName(kIOPMAssertionTypeNoIdleSleep, kIOPMAssertionLevelOn, CFSTR("My app is running"), &preventSleepAssertionID);

Fluorometholone FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Adverse reactions include, in decreasing order of frequency, elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) with possible development of glaucoma and infrequent optic nerve damage, posterior subcapsular cataract formation, and delayed wound healing.
Although systemic effects are extremely uncommon, there have been rare occurrences of systemic hypercorticoidism after use of topical dermatologic steroids applied to the skin.
Corticosteroid-containing preparations have also been reported to cause acute anterior uveitis and perforation of the globe. Keratitis, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, mydriasis, conjunctival hyperemia, loss of accommodation and ptosis have occasionally been reported following local use of corticosteroids.
The development of secondary ocular infection (bacterial, fungal and viral) has occurred. Fungal and viral infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop coincidentally with long-term applications of steroids. The possibility of fungal invasion should be considered in any persistent corneal ulceration where steroid treatment has been used (see WARNINGS).
Transient burning and stinging upon instillation and other minor symptoms of ocular irritation have been reported with the use of FML® suspension. Other adverse events reported with the use of fluorometholone include: allergic reactions; foreign body sensation; erythema of eyelid; eyelid edema/eye swelling; eye discharge; eye pain; eye pruritus; lacrimation increased; rash; taste perversion; visual disturbance (blurry vision); and visual field defect.

Taking bath in the morning is a natural human requirement. This natural requirement is certainly taken care of in Islam, which is a religion of nature in the real sense of the word.
The Prophet (pbuh) & his companions used to take a bath daily. In those days bathing before Fajr (dawn) was prevalent. Usman, the 3rd caliph used to take a bath every day (though they were in desert & finding water was difficult)

Welcome to Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: Beyond the Basics
Remember Evil Knievel? He was the motorcyclist who was so evil he jumped over things. A bunch of really big things all in a row. Like cargo vans, buses, the Snake River Canyon. He once jumped over 27 Las Vegas casinos stacked on top of each other. On fire. That's how evil he was. Hello, I'm Evil McClievil. Well, Deke McClelland. Here to welcome you to Part 2 of the most comprehensive videos series yet attempted on the subject of Photoshop. It's my way of jumping over 27 of the most essential concepts in the realm of image-editing and photographic manipulation.
On fire. It's a little thing I like to call Photoshop CS3 One on One. The topic of this next chapter, Chapter 10 in the grand order of things, is masking. Perhaps you've heard of masks. Or maybe you've heard them called friskets, or mattes, or alpha channels. Whatever you call them, a mask is essentially a selection outline represented as a black-and-white image. White indicates the selected area, black indicates the deselected area. While that probably sounds strange, masks are really powerful. They allow you to communicate with Photoshop on a much deeper level than anything we saw in Part 1.
Remember that flower analogy back in Chapter 8? There's a flower, you want to reach out and select it? Well once you understand the language of masking, you can tell Photoshop to select that flower. It may require a long conversation and there may be some misunderstandings along the way, but with a little time you'll understand how to translate your vision of the world into something Photoshop can recognize as well. Masking is the art of using the image to select itself. Now masking is a vast topic. Not as vast as the Snake River Canyon, but still vast. So vast that I give it an entire series.
The 20 plus hour Photoshop Channels and Masks freely available to lynda.com subscribers as part of the Online Training Library. What you're about to see here in this series is an introduction to masking and as always, it's on fire. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the essentials of masking.

I have a Backbone collection, where I am iterating through and looking up mdl.get('group'). This returns:
[undefined, undefined, group, group, group, undefined, group, group, group, undefined, group, group]
What I would like it to return is arrays (or collections) of those group models:
[undefined, undefined, [group], undefined, [group], undefined, [group]
I am trying to think of the best way to:
- iterate through the object
- return 'undefined' values without changing them
- find siblings with similar values
- collapse them into an array, within the object
Much like the _.groupBy method, but I need to retain the correct order of the models within the object.
I would love some ideas on how to approach this. So far I'm stumbling on how to tackle this one correctly.

5 Enterprise Software Upgrade Best Practices You Should Know
As Talend has released its newest version of Talend Data Fabric 6.2.1 for GA, I thought this would be a good time to talk about software upgrades within the Enterprise.
Are You Ready For The Data Age? Five Maturity Levels in Data-Driven Organizations
Data is a critical competitive factor and is becoming more and more crucial for achieving success. In theory, hardly anyone disputes this to any extent. But in practice there are some very different levels of maturity when it comes to handling data. Based on practical experience gained in medium-sized companies in particular, I would like to try to describe five typical levels of maturity. This is intended to provide a helping hand on the way to becoming a data-driven organization.
SaaS Data Migration & Data Integration
With the continued growth in Cloud computing, more and more organizations are moving their data to Software as a Service (SaaS) providers such as Salesforce.
If you're about to embark on a Data Migration or Data Integration project, and you're used to working with a traditional relational database that sits in your own data center, you may be in for a few surprises.
Bridging the Gap Between Business and IT with Self-Service Data Preparation
It's widely understood that our world is becoming digital—consumers, business workers and leaders alike want information and services to be delivered 'as they like, when and wherever they want.' In order to meet this demand, the companies need to become more data-driven—using enterprise information to make educated decisions—in order to increase customer service and overall competitive advantage.
How Apache Spark™ Feeds Real-Time Sports Analytics
With the Euro 2016 tournament now drawing to a close, and having two kids of my own in a competitive soccer league, even a French husband; I now live and breathe football (or soccer depending on your frame of reference) almost every single day.
Creating a Hortonworks Big Data Pipeline at the Speed of Talend
Engineering a big data ingestion pipeline is complicated – if you don't have the right tools.
All data, be it big, little, dark, structured, or unstructured, must be ingested, cleansed, and transformed before insights can be gleaned, a base tenet of the analytics process model.
Data Preparation, to the Moon and Beyond
According to a University of Southern California study, less than a decade ago, overall digital information located on storage devices, for the entire world, reached 300 Exabyte. To figure out what it's like, just imagine that it would require over 400 billion CD-ROMs. If you were to build a stack with it, you would go over the distance from the earth to the moon…

A few months ago I wrote a blog about the exciting, new open source Data Preparation tool and all the great quick action you can take on your data.

IoST and IoUT: Why They Matter for IoT Growth
Recently, I was fortunate enough to find myself in Munich, Germany during a trip to visit with family and discovered that just north of town is the city of Ingolstadt, which is home to the Audi factory. Being somewhat of a gear-head and very much an Audi fan, I decided to take the factory tour and check out the museum (I essentially got a private tour as I took the English version and it was only my wife and I on it - HIGHLY recommend it!).
Complex Generation and Distribution of Documents with Talend
In this post, I would like to cover the possibilities we have to build complex document generating systems. Actually formally a domain of expensive software like Adobe Publisher. With Talend Open Studio and JasperReports you are able to create such a system.
The Evolution of ETL and Continuous Integration
In the beginning of ETL….
When I started my IT career over 15 years ago I was nothing more than a "Fresh-out" with a college degree and an interest in computers and programming. At that time, I knew the theories behind the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and had put it to some practice in a classroom setting but, I was still left questioning how it relates to the big, bad corporate world. And by the way, what the heck is ETL?
Spark Summit West & Apache Spark 2.0—An Electrifying Week in Big Data
With the release of Apache Spark version 2.0 out in preview, there has been a lot of buzz recently about the implications of this advanced technology. Nowhere was that more apparent than in San Francisco this week where Spark Summit West drew a sold-out crowd of 2,500 software developers and data scientists, according to host and Spark cloud service provider Databricks.
Moving Data to the Coalface to Achieve Business Success
Self-service data preparation, which we define as empowering business workers and analysts to prepare data for themselves prior to analysis, is often cited as the next big thing. In fact, Gartner predicted last year that "by 2018 most business users and analysts in organisations will have access to self-service tools to prepare data for analysis".

This paper presents the physical design concept and process developments to construct a small module containing a chip with an array of miniature light emitting diodes (LEDs) as well as the driver control circuitry for the LED array, The module is composed of a glass substrate consisting of a fanout pattern from the input/output (I/O) bond pads of the fine pitch solder bumped LED array chip. The fanout I/O pattern of the glass terminates on a 40 mil pitch ball grid array land pattern. The LED array chip is bonded face down on the glass and underencapsulated with an optically transparent underfill. All of the driver board circuitry is on a glob top plastic ball grid array (GTPBGA) package whose solder balls are reflow attached to the assembled glass substrate and underencapsulated to provide a finished display module. To implement the module concept, fine pitch (i.e. 80 μm) 90 Pb/10 Sn solder bump technology, fluxless flip chip bonding, thin optically transparent underencapsulation technology had to be developed, as well as the development of a multichip 384 I/O 40 mil pitch GTPBGA. The solder balls on the 384 I/O GTPBGA are 30 Pb/70 In. The assembly technology and underencapsulation technology for the assembly of the glass substrate containing the LED array chip and the 384 I/O GTPBGA also had to be developed

This is a special time of year for SEO. Our worst neglect cases come to us in the months December through March. During the next few months hours upon hours are spent feeding, brushing, providing them with needed veterinary care, and gaining their trust.
As spring time comes our way, the horse's dull & unthrifty hair coats shed out. The beautiful metamorphous revels healthy and shiny horses glad to be in foster homes that care deeply about them.
It is during this time of year that the horses have enough energy and spunk to show us their true personalities.
Sofie & June: Guarded but both are willing to learn
Elvis: A ham who has found his forever home
Ellie, Capri & Lilly: Beautiful young girls who love people and attention
Noni & Clifford: Trustworthy, solid horses that must remember some kind humans from their past.
Reba & Faith: So full of confidence they don't even know they are a year behind in growth from chronic malnutrition.
Izzy: A tremendously calm and patient young mare with tons of potential
Bingo: An old man still willing to learn after years of neglect
Howard: A brilliant, kind mind that allows people into his space after years of being a lead stallion in the wild.
Mr. Bigs: He is alive! He has spunk in those eyes that we are starting to see
The adults are now heading into training so they can receive a solid base of knowledge and provide reliability for their eventual new owners. All the time, money and energy that has been poured into each of the horses is visually paying off.
Summer, our favorite season, is adoption time. These special horses will find their forever person. Watching them bond and fall in love with each other will give us the motivation and energy to start the process all over again this coming winter.
Thank you for choosing to give to these horses. They have a community looking out for them. Just the way it should be!

Douching At The End Of Pregnancy?
Dear Midwife,
Dear Midwife,
Dear Midwife,
Is it ok to walk up and down stairs? I was told that the umbilical cord can wrap around the baby's neck.
I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and I don't feel the baby move, is this normal?
Also, I have constipation, and when I have a bowel movement, there is a little bit of mucus when I wipe my behind. What is this?
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
What is a normal heartbeat for a baby? I am 15 weeks along right now. Can you tell the sex of the baby by the heartbeat? My baby's heartbeat is 145. I have heard that girls typically have faster heartbeats than boys (around 165).

Big Lots told me that the interest would be minimal and that there would be zero interest as long as I payed off my debt for a couch in 90 days.

Do you want the truth about World Financial Group, now rebranding themselves as Transamerica Financial Advisers????? I was in the trenches with this company for many years and I know firsthand the truth behind this company. What do they really do? They sell you a dream. They are in the business of selling you a dream of financial independence. They sell the dream of having the income to support a better lifestyle for you and your family, to be... Read more ›

I tried working with this company for a $28,000 loan and they kept asking for different documents for over a week. The last straw was when they began requesting documents I had ALREADY SENT! The operators are clueless as to the inner workings and they will not allow you to talk directly to the reviewers. Their "review team" is obviously not carefully reviewing their accounts. I believe they are trying to avoid laoning to small businesses,... Read more ›
Stay away!.....I cancelled my application. Do not waste your time. Completely bogus company. Regret I provided all my personal financial documents to this pathetic outfit.

Hope you are well, have not seen you post since the news hit the wires
I may be wrong on this but I decided to sell on Friday, I think Kitty is holding into 2014 for tax planning
Any thoughts now on where you will. Invest going forward ? I am thinking of re-investing in CLDX and NPSP
Sentiment: Hold
Re:neuro.i think one stock that could pay good div. Is" nktr.i just bought some.plan to add more,every once awhile.glta
Thank you for NKTR.. looking good!
Thanks man! I will look into it. RMTI train is moving as well as ACRX. Tuesday am can be interesting for BMRN. Cheers! Have a great weekend!
Hi Lbl,
DOM TIMES for us SNTS longs!!! Indeed $30plus by the end of this year as many of us stated several months earlier. Thirty Dirty. Congratulations to you and all SNTS investors! I have been on vacation in Hong Kong and Taiwan for most part of October. Victoria Harbor view from the 110th floor suite at the Ritz HK and the Wow Suite of Taipei W with the view of the Taipei 101 are simply outstanding and are a must if you ever visit HK or Taipei. As we all are aware of, the long term hold is one year and one day. Thus I have sold 20% of my SNTS and holding the remaining 80% until 2014 with the next batch on Jan 10th, 2014. The short term tax rate of 43.4% is brutal with the 39.6% plus the net investment income surtax of 3.8%. I can wait until Jan 2014 for the long term 20% tax for my remaining SNTS shares.
I am using the 20% of the SNTS to further increase my large positions in HIMX, OPK, RMTI, TTPH and ACRX. I also like CLDX, MYGN and GTAT. THRX can get interesting next month. I also plan to add more VTUS in Jan 2014 with the next batch of SNTS that I sell. SNTS was a rare gem.. who will be the next gem?
Hi Dragon and Kitty,
Great to hear from both of you. Dom times right back at you! We did say $30plus by the end of the year! SNTS was a great run! I'll wait until January to cash in and then I'll be looking for another SNTS like gem. Please keep me informed of your picks. Continued success to both of you.
Neuro, great to hear from you. Have you been to Thialand? Anyway, is LTCG still at 15% rate? I am trying to find out. I have a new stock that is maybe a little like SNTS, when SNTS was on the trash heap. I am doing the DD. If I like, I will let you guys know first and present a DD outline. Best to you and LBL and all other SNTS longs, WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Analinspector was sent to the anals of bad shortie disasters. He had a KABOOM to the moon!!! What a loser he was. LOL

Unbelievable! Stuff that you try and figure out for hours is solved in minutes by this incredible team. Nothing is too much bother for them and they really go the extra mile to solve your issue.
That's one of the reasons why I continue to buy my domain names and hosting at 123-Reg.co.uk.
Their online chat service is just the best! They should be winning awards for their professionalism, their service, their patience and their 'humanism'(if that's a word!). You know that you're chatting with a real bona fida proper person that you can have a joke with too! All hugely impressive!

Swiss online guitar learning platform HGuitare.com has uploaded a video clip of Nita Strauss, the Los Angeles-based guitar shredder for the ALICE COOPER band, teaching you how to play the Cooper classic "Poison". Check it out below.In a recent interview with Jammcard, Nita spoke about how she got the gig with the legendary rocker. She said: "I did my first round of video auditions, and I just thought, 'I'm gonna smash it! I'll knock it out of the park. I'm gonna pull out every stop, playing over the neck, doing all kinds of stuff, playing upside down.' You know, [I thought I would] play every trick I know, every cool, crazy, demented lick I know. And I sent it over. It was two songs, which are about four or five minutes each. So it should have taken them ten minutes to watch the whole package and think about it. I think [Cooper producer Bob] Ezrin called me within three minutes. He was, like, 'This is not what we want at all.' I think his exact words were, 'Can you do anything else?'" She continued: "Looking back at it now, ALICE COOPER is a classic rock band, and it was so unwarranted what I did. But I wanted to show off. So I said, 'Now that I know what you want, can you give me another shot?' I can't believe they gave me three shots at it. So that just goes to show you, kids — personality goes a long way." Nita added: "A big part of the ALICE COOPER sound is the big classic rock licks, the big, classic thematic kind of… It's not about going crazy, it's not about playing super fast. There's great times for that, but it's about really sitting back and listening to the song and letting the song breathe. And that was a big lesson for me in this camp." Strauss is a longtime Ibanez signature series endorsee who made her name with THE IRON MAIDENS, FEMME FATALE and LA Kiss.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (May 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A nectaplum is a tradename for varieties that are a hybrid of nectarines and plums developed by Floyd Zaiger. Both nectarine and plum traits are easily detectable. It sprouts from an ornamental tree which makes it popular for home gardening, but is not large in the commercial market.
The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling a nectarine. Nectaplums are noted for their sweetness (due to a very high sugar content) and their intense flavor.
There is currently only one marketed variety of this type of fruit.

Rafael Nadal's stunning first round loss at Wimbledon to world nunber 135 Steve Darcis on Monday was the latest of many shock results at the All England Club.
AFP Sports recalls three of the best:
Jelena Dokic v Martina Hingis
- Top seed and world number one Martina Hingis was destroyed by 16-year-old qualifier Dokic, who was ranked 129 in the world at the time. Dokic took 54 minutes to beat Hingis, 6-2, 6-0, in the first round.
- Seven-time champion Pete Sampras was stunned 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4 by George Bastl, the world number 145 from Switzerland on the old Court two, the infamous Graveyard of the Champions. Sampras never played the tournament again.
Ivo Karlovic v Lleytin Hewitt
- Karlovic, a 6ft 10in Croatian, ranked 203 in the world, defeated defending champion and top seed Hewitt 1-6, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. The Australian became the first defending men's champion in the Open era to lose in the first round.
