Oops, something didn't work.
Another great episode! I have installed Azure Service Bus for Windows Server several times and I must say, that even as a non-admin, the setup is very, very easy and your are ready to go in minutes.
The great thing is, that you can work locally and run extensive tests, as well as combine on premise and cloud. It's like creating your own sandbox
Thank you guys!
I am unable to find the link to the PowerPoint file. Is it available for download ? Thank you guys.

i'm helping a friend update here blog.
Now happens that she's changing her domain name as well so I was wondering if there's a way to keep all the followers?
Basically at the moment we have 2 blogs running
old one; http://www.lovelifeandhappyeverafter.com
new one: allthebuzz.co.uk
based on other forum threads it was recommended to create a new hidden blog and import the content from the old one and then move everything to the old one again
now I'm not sure if this is possible to do with the new domain?
What's the best way to keep the followers as she's worked hard to build them up?
Any ideas?

Ménière's disease
- Meniere's disease
- Meniere disease
Your QuestionI would like to obtain information about Ménière's disease. Can you tell me more about its cause, effects, symptoms, and treatments?
Our Answer
We have identified the following information that we hope you find helpful. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Questions on this page
What causes Ménière's disease?
The symptoms of Ménière's disease are thought to relate to changes in fluid volume in the inner ear, which contains structures necessary for normal hearing and balance. Changes in fluid volume may disrupt signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, or may lead to tears or ruptures of the structures that affect hearing and balance.[7][8]
More detailed information about the causes of symptoms associated with Ménière's disease is available on NIDCD's Web site.
What are the signs and symptoms of Ménière's disease?
Some people with Ménière's disease have attacks that start with tinnitus (ear noises), a loss of hearing, or a full feeling or pressure in the affected ear. It is important to remember that all of these symptoms are unpredictable. Typically, the attack is characterized by a combination of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss lasting several hours. People experience these discomforts at varying frequencies, durations, and intensities. Some may feel slight vertigo a few times a year. Others may be occasionally disturbed by intense, uncontrollable tinnitus while sleeping. Affected people may also notice hearing loss or feel unsteady for prolonged periods. Other occasional symptoms of Ménière's disease may include headaches, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. A person's hearing tends to recover between attacks but over time may become worse.[2] Meniere's disease usually starts in one ear but it may extend to involve both ears over time.[6]
How is Ménière's disease diagnosed?
The hallmark of Ménière's disease is the fluctuation, waxing and waning of symptoms.[3] Proper diagnosis of Ménière's disease entails several procedures, including a medical history interview; a physical examination; hearing and balance tests; and medical imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Accurate measurement and characterization of hearing loss are of critical importance in the diagnosis of Ménière's disease.[2]
Through the use of several types of hearing tests, physicians can characterize hearing loss as being sensory (arising from the inner ear) or neural (arising from the hearing nerve). Recording the auditory brain stem response, which measures electrical activity in the hearing nerve and brain stem, is useful in differentiating between these two types of hearing loss. Electrocochleography, recording the electrical activity of the inner ear in response to sound, helps confirm the diagnosis.[2]
To test the vestibular or balance system, physicians irrigate the ears with warm and cool water or air. This procedure, known as caloric testing, results in nystagmus, rapid eye movements that can help a physician analyze a balance disorder. Since tumor growth can produce symptoms similar to Ménière's disease, an MRI is a useful test to determine whether a tumor is causing the patient's vertigo and hearing loss.[2]
How might Ménière's disease be treated?
At the present time there is no cure for Ménière's disease, but there are several safe and effective medical and surgical therapies that are available to help individuals cope with the symptoms.[6][3] The symptoms of the disease are often controlled successfully by reducing the body's retention of fluids through dietary changes (such as a low-salt or salt-free diet and no caffeine or alcohol).[2] Medications such as antihistamines, anticholinergics, and diuretics may lower endolymphatic pressure by reducing the amount of endolymphatic fluid.[4] Eliminating tobacco use and reducing stress levels may also help lessen the severity of symptoms.[2]
Symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and associated nausea and vomiting may respond to sedative/hypnotics, benzodiazepines like diazepam and anti-emetics.[4]
Different surgical procedures are an option for individuals with persistent, debilitating vertigo. Labyrinthectomy (removal of the inner ear sense organ) can effectively control vertigo, but sacrifices hearing and is reserved for patients with nonfunctional hearing in the affected ear. Vestibular neurectomy, selectively severing a nerve from the affected inner ear organ, usually controls the vertigo while preserving hearing but carries surgical risks. Recently, the administration of the ototoxic antibiotic gentamycin directly into the middle ear space has gained popularity worldwide for the control of vertigo associated with Ménière's disease.[2]

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
The ibises long-legged wading birds with long down curved bills that are usually found in group, probing mud for food items in the sand.
They resemble herons and share many of their habitats and behavioral traits, but unlike herons, ibises fly with necks outstretched and often in V-formation.
Species and Ranges
Ibises mostly feed in shallow waters on aquatic insects, mollusks, frogs, and food sifted from the water surface.
Their diet also includes insects caught on land, as well as lizards, worms, skinks, and other small reptiles.
Some species will also take small mammals, birds, or snakes; or they will follow herds of domestic animals, searching dung for beetles and other insects.
Most breeding activities are observed after the rainy season, when plenty of food is available.
They typically nest in colonies, often with other water birds.
The nests are shallow cup-shaped platforms of sticks, grasses or reeds that are typically situated on trees near a body of water, such as rivers, swamps or lakes. Although some ibises also make their nest amongst rocks and on cliffs,
The average clutch consists of 2 – 4 eggs. The nests are often reused year-after-year.

|Re: how to resolve a path from a XML file (XMLTask)
|Thu, 18 Aug 2005 21:41:32 GMT
Okay let me explain a bit more. I have to read a path from an XML. The XML is constructed by somebody else and he/she knows the path relative to a root dir only. So the path in the XML can be ${myapp1.dir}/common/jsp. The build script that reads this XML can resolve this myapp1.dir dir. So is it possible to use a variable in the XML and resolve the entire path after getting the path from the XML. Any pointers would be helpful.

Identifying Voice Characteristics Among Various Ethnicities Through Spectrogrphic Analysis And Acoustic Pharyngometry
What characteristics of the human voice identify its unique print? Furthermore, what are the idiosyncrasies of an individual's body that create this unique voice print? An African-American man's physiology and anatomy will most certainly differ from the physiology of an Asian-American man. If two men from different ethnicities have different physiological compositions, could we expect to hear differences in their voices? Excluding dialectical differences, can we identify these differences in their voice prints? Among many variables, the physiology of the person's body may alter the results of a forensic spectrographic analysis, and will potentially appear in an acoustic pharyngometry test. In this paper, we will survey existing research on voice identification and our own spectrographic analysis, as well as research in the field of speech and voice anatomy to determine whether different ethnic groups have different physiological vocal resonators, and if this can be identified.

EL PASO (February 22, 2014) The University of Texas at El Paso is now a tobacco-free campus.
The policy, which was under consideration for years, has been approved by the University of Texas System and is now a reality,
Assistant Vice President for Environment Health and Safety Robert Moss said.
The ban on smoking and chewing tobacco covers any university building or property and grounds, including parking lots and housing.
The El Paso school previously allowed smoking near entrances and exits.
Moss said signs warning of the prohibition started going up Friday and ashtrays are being removed.
The school is now one of at least five University of Texas System schools that ban tobacco.
In all more than 20 Texas colleges and universities are smoke- or tobacco-free.

Crude Options Volatility Reaches Six-Week High as Futures Fall
Crude oil options volatility rose to the highest level in six weeks as underlying futures sank to a two-week low after the European Union offered to resume negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
Implied volatility for at-the-money options expiring in March, a measure of expected price swings in futures and a gauge of options prices, was 30.9 as of 4 p.m. in New York, up from 30 yesterday.
"There was a little bit more excitement in the market today, and as we come off again volatility is going to increase," said Fred Rigolini, vice president of Paramount Options Inc. in New York.
Crude for April delivery fell $2.02, or 1.9 percent, to settle at $104.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Preliminary volume in electronic trading for crude oil was 627,715 contracts as of 2:40 p.m. in New York, 1.4 percent above the three-month average through yesterday.
The most active options in electronic trading today were April $100 puts, with 3,906 lots changing hands at 4:22 p.m. They rose 19 cents to 55 cents a barrel. April $105 puts, the second-most active options, increased 75 cents to $2.12 with 2,251 lots trading. One contract covers 1,000 barrels of crude.
On the trading floor, Rigolini said, there was selling of May $128 calls and of April $95 puts and $98 puts. Puts accounted for 58 percent of electronic trading volume.
The exchange distributes real-time data for electronic trading and releases information the next business day on floor trading, where the bulk of options trading occurs.
Bearish options accounted for 53 percent of the 61,092 trades from the previous session. April $100 puts were the most actively traded, with 3,789 lots changing hands as they fell 5 cents to 36 cents a barrel. The next-most active options, April $104 puts, lost 14 cents to $1.06 on volume of 2,105.
Open interest was highest for December $80 puts with 46,213 contracts. Next were December $150 calls with 38,727 lots and December $100 calls with 34,926.

The Worldwide Strategic Architect Forum has come to an end. If I have to summarize what has been shown and said, I'd say one word: Waouw!
The keynotes:
Day 1
Modeling for Connected Systems by Norm Judah. Well, I think that no one can doubt about it: not only is Norm an amazing speaker but he is also very knowledgeable when it comes to business modeling. He has shown really where Microsoft is heading to. He has given a little preview of one DSL (Domain Specific Language) that will be put in Visual Studio.NET (Jack Greenfields' keynote will further develop the subject). The feedback that I got from customers and partners while leaving the keynote was really great: They loved it. They just regret it's not there yet!
Business Architecture by Jack Calhoun. I had the chance to talk to Jack while eating in the morning and he's a real business person. He delivers an amazing view and understanding of the business world. I'm very much convinced that his insights are very valuable and has helped and sure will further help Microsoft better prepare their toolset to meet Business Executives' expectations.
Day 2
Q&A with Microsoft's Chief Architect, Mr William H. Gates. Loud and clear, the 3 main priorities are: Web Services, Modeling , and Security. Actually, those 3 core elements play a fundamental role in the future. Web Services go beyond the Enterprise boundaries and will open a whole new era of businesses and business models (just have a look at what's gonna come with the RFID technologies); Modeling is a way to communicate (first and foremost) but also to automate and, more importantly then, to reduce the potential surface for errors (indeed, if we can automate task and agree on them formally, this reduces the risk of manual interventions and human misunderstandings); Security ... should I say something about that?
Software Factories by Keith Short and Jack Greenfield. Well, as I announced in my previous post, this is THE thing not to miss. Those two gentlemen have really taken a step back to restart from the whiteboard and put their huge experience in common. (and if you add their experience with the one of Steeve Cook and Stuart Kent, you really understand what it means "experience"). Keith and Jack have gone to the extend to show really how to create your own DSL in minutes and thust make Design part of your day-to-day IT practices. Watchout, making things easy to begin with will undoubtedly create a confusion and a proliferation of languages, but rules will come to help finding the best language to communicate. There is just one thing: As discussed with David Chappell when leaving the keynote: Factories are meant to create things ... are they as good at maintaining things? Well, I'll investigate the idea and will keep you posted! Thanks David.
Day 3
Interchangeability of Operations in the Service by Pat Helland. We did find a gigantic Pat Helland. All what he says makes good sense and is presented so simply that even I did undersand it! ;-) He has spent most of his presentation time trying to explain the fundamental shift between Service Orientation and CBD. That's all it comes down to. I'm sure it is essential to really understand that ... but I'm also sure that all the consequences of this SOA architecture are not anough understood. Pat makes an excellent job at explaining that. Oh, yes, he ended up with his now-famous performance "Mr CIO guy" that he will post on his site very soon.
Well, I think that's all I'll tell about it right now. It's been a great SAF.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Guido Van Humbeek and Mr Gary Cleal who have accompanied me to this unique event. I'm sure they have appreciated the experience. We'll have plenty of time to talk about it when we'll be back home.
Oh, one more thing before I forget: I'll have the unique opportunity to present the content of the WWSAF (at least a summary thereof) to the Belgium Microsoft Architect Council members no later than next Tuesday. ... They will definately have the latest news, hot from Redmond.

Ear Tubes (cont.)
Ear Tubes Risks
No surgical procedure is free of risks. Tympanostomy tube placement should be considered just as any other surgical procedure. While generally safe and quick, complications can occur with the procedure as with any procedure requiring anesthesia. It is equally important to select to have the procedure performed in a facility where experienced pediatric providers are found as it is to pick the surgeon.
Placement of tympanostomy tubes carries few long-term risks and usually many advantages when appropriate patient selection has taken place. Complications may include:

By doing so, you can really cut down on transportation costs and time. You may also want to book a hotel that offers free wifi just in case you need to get some work done.
If you are traveling for vacation, figure out which attractions or landmarks you want to see and book a hotel that is within close proximity. Although hotels near attractions might cost a little more, you may find that spending those extra few dollars is worth the convenience. You can even find hotels that align with your interests. For example, if you are looking for a relaxing vacation, a spa hotel may be the perfect choice for you.
You'll also want to determine which type of accommodations will suit your needs before booking a hotel in Markham. If you're traveling with the kiddos, a family friendly hotel will offer larger rooms and more sleeping arrangements.

I finally made socks!
2 Attachment(s)
Seeing all the great socks on here inspired me to finally give them a try. It only took me 20+ years of knitting to get around to it.
Can't help feeling like I cheated or something though, since I still haven't 'turned a heel' or 'worked a gusset'. Maybe another time. I'll definitely use this pattern again since it was so easy!
http://www.knitpicks.com/Two+At+Once...D50417220.html from Knitpicks (two at once, toe-up,with an afterthought heel). Made with Bernat Sox yarn & 3.75mm needles. Not so thrilled with the way the colour blotched in areas, but they're really comfy anyways.
:cheering::cheering::cheering: Do you know what this means?
You are on your way to being a sock addict!
Welcome to the club.:)
Welcome to the dark side :-) They look great.
They look great - thanks for posting the link! I SWEAR I will try socks soon!!
That looks great. Now that you are over the basic fear of socks you will find that turning a heel and working a gusset are very easy. It is simply a new technique and like all new techniques take it a little slow and don't be afraid to frog and do those stitches over again.
Suggestion is to put in a life line just before you start the heel. That way there is no problem restarting the heel.
What do you plan for your next pair?
I definitely see why socks are addictive!
Not yet sure what the next pair will look like exactly, but there will be another pair after I get some baby gift items made.
Congratulations! They look great. I haven't tried two-at-once yet, so thanks for posting the link.
You're welcome for the pattern Slim.
I was worried I might not want to make the 2nd since this was my initial attempt, that's why I went with 2-at-once. Thought toe-up would be an interesting way of making them too.
Great socks! I actually like color blotching like that. It makes the socks not identical but still look like they belong together. That's just me. :wink:
WOW they look so great!!

No deadline has been set on when or if the Amarillo Shooting Complex will reopen, city officials say.
The entire complex was closed by the City Parks and Recreation department on Friday, Aug. 3. The city is trying to decide if changes are needed to keep stray bullets from leaving the range.
"We'd like to say we could have it done in two or three weeks," Amarillo City Manager John Ward said last week. "We'll clearly attempt to do it as quick as possible."
One source suggested the decision was based on threat of legal action from a neighbor of the range, which is southwest of the city.
In mid-June, the high-powered rifle portion of the range had been closed, after a complaint from a homeowner living beyond the range'd backstop. Allegedly, a stray bullet from a shooter on the range hit a recreational vehicle on private land several hundred yards beyond the range. It's been suggested the stray bullet came from a black powder rifle that misfired and then discharged when the shooter was pointing it upward.
"We hope we can (reopen the range)," Ward said. "But we decided it was time to realize what was happening out there. We're not convinced that the claims we've received are legitimate. We do need to evaluate them some more.
"This is so we can evaluate the safety of range," Ward said. "We've received numerous complaints from a few property owners to the north, of stray bullets leaving the range, and a claim (for damages) from one property owner. We closed the high power range first, because that's where it was the most serious. But now we've received complaints that bullets from smaller handguns are leaving the range.
"So for safety and liability reasons, we're closing it until we can evaluate what's going on, and then a decision can be made whether to modify the range, or keep it closed."
Ward said the city has to accept liability for any safety issue, and that especially applies to activities beyond normal governmental activities, like sports.
"If we have knowledge of a situation which is not safe, we have to act. This not a governmental function."
As with shooting ranges throughout the state, expanding neighborhoods often encroach into what were once rural areas surrounding the range. That includes homes being built downrange from shooting facilities like the Amarillo Shooting Complex.
"The difficulty is that we can't control where people choose to live," Ward said. "We have determined the line of sight to the fence (behind the range). Clearly if someone is standing at that fence, they can be hit (by a stray bullet) from the place where people are shooting guns. We have an obligation to correct that."
Although shotguns, which have a very short range, are not considered a safety issue, range contractor Ron McNabb probably won't keep the range open for just a limited number of shooters, Ward said.
The parks department has consulted a shooting range expert, to make recommendations on design changes, Ward said. Based on his recommendations, the city will decide how to proceed next.
The complex is on city land southwest of Amarillo and includes rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges. Among Texas shooters, it is universally recognized as one of the best all-around municipal ranges in the state.
For a small annual membership or daily fee, shooters can use any of the facilities, which include trap and skeet shotgun ranges, and a cowboy action shooting range.
The complex features separate pistol and rifle ranges, with targets from 15 feet to 200 yards. Shooters shoot downhill into the side of a deeply cut hill. There are also a series of massive dirt berms behind the targets, which are designed to catch bullets passing through the targets, including ricochets.
"We want to keep the range open and provide a safe environment (for shooters and neighbors)," Ron McNabb, the contractor who operates the range for the city, said when the high power range was closed in June. "There is not another public facility anywhere in this region (for shooting high power rifles)."
"There's no timetable on when this will be done, but we plan to move as quickly as we can," Pam Cognasi, recreation supervisor for the Amarillo Parks and Recreation Department, said in June. "There are a lot of people, a lot of shooters, who use the range and have expressed concern about it being closed."
In 1999, the Texas Legislature considered but did not pass new laws requiring more safety restrictions on shooting ranges.
Cognasi said the city hadn't decided what physical changes might be required at the range.
"We're looking at the possibility of additional berms, or building them higher, or adding baffles (above the range)," Cognasi said.
The range's heaviest traffic falls from late summer through fall, as hunters prepare for hunting season and use the range to practice and sight-in rifles, she said.
During 2000, more than 6,000 shooters used the shooting complex, Cognasi said.
"Most of those were in the peak months, from October through December, when we had more than 1,200."
A number of area shooters have expressed the concern that closing the range will create more danger, rather than less, by forcing shooters to find places to shoot that may be less suited to stopping ricochets.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'm wondering how possible anonymity is when using a pen name. I have no idea how that works with modern publishers. Your real name must be public information somewhere in that transaction. So is there any reasonable expectations of privacy if you want to remain anonymous? What do the Mark Twains and George Eliots of today do?
I've located an article that might be of some help: http://www.dsattorney.com/qa-pseudonyms-in-contracts/
The author (Daniel N. Steven, a practicing attorney in Maryland and former publisher/editor) says that you can maintain privacy by using a PO Box and unlisted phone number with your pseudonym, but that a Social Security Number would still be needed for tax purposes. (His advice obviously assumes you are in the U.S.) If you didn't want to use your Social Security Number, you'd have to establish another legal entity, such as an LLC (a limited-liability company), as the copyright owner of the work.
(His website also has a link to other legal articles on publishing that may be of interest.)
I don't think you can expect a pen name to be bulletproof. It is more of a camouflage than an invisibility cloak. It enables you to maintain some privacy because you are promoting the pen name instead of your real name, and so even if your pen name gets very famous, you can still check into a hotel under your real name. Notice that we know Mark Twain's real name, but it is not famous, so relatively few people know it.
There are legal tricks you can do to further obfuscate, but still, it is not going to be bulletproof. Your name is still going to be legally connected in some way and the more famous your pen name gets, the more likely you are to be found out.
The way pen names get found out is somebody — typically a reporter — goes looking for Richard Bachman and finds that he is not a real person because he has no birth certificate and other paperwork. Then they go looking for the actual author, who turned out to be Steven King.

iPad mini smart cover protects your small tablet for $29
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Apple
Alongside it's new iPad mini, Apple has released a smaller version of its Smart Cover as well. It works the same as the Smart Covers for the larger iPad tablet, connecting to the left side of the display with magnets, and also using magnet technology to wake the iPad mini up when the cover is opened, and putting it to sleep when closed. You can get the iPad mini Smart Cover for $29 on November 2.
Be sure to check out all of the news from today's iPad mini event.
