In a secluded section of Vancouver International Airport, a man forms a barricade of office furniture in front of a motion-sensor doorway. Though he's been here for hours, his mother waits for him on the other side of the terminal—she's been told that no one with her son's name arrived at the airport today. A small crowd has gathered to watch him, and there's an air of tense curiosity. Some begin to film him on their cell phones. He's agitated and pacing; soon he's hurling objects at a window. Before long, four burly RCMP arrive on the scene. The man backs away nervously, unable to understand their words.The rest is history: within 30 seconds, the man has been shocked five times with Tasers, and he's convulsing violently on the ground. Soon he is pronounced dead.This is the scene that many Canadians relived last month, when B.C.'s Criminal Justice Branch issued a statement exonerating all the officers involved, effectively ruling out the possibility of a criminal trial over Robert Dziekanski's death. According to Crown spokesman Stan Lowe, the officers that day were "lawfully engaged in their duties," and their use of force was both "necessary and reasonable in all the circumstances."This statement arrived after a prolonged investigation into the incident by the RCMP's internal Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The investigation was extensive, including a trip to Mr. Dziekanski's home country of Poland to determine any external factors that may have contributed to his death. Unsurprisingly, their conclusion was not in his favour. They determined the cause of death to be a combination of a fear of flying, physical exhaustion, and alcohol withdrawal. Taser International would chock the incident up to a state of "excited delirium," a condition of exaggerated and irregular heartbeat (akin to the sort a cocaine overdose might produce), considered by most medical professionals to be controversial.But Amnesty International has a slightly different take on what might have happened. A Taser, or "conductive energy device," operates by using compressed air to propel dual wires. With a charge of up to 50,000 volts, the Taser incapacitates a target, regardless of their constitution, by causing all of their muscles to contract violently at once. If subjected to multiple shocks, cardio-respiratory failure is probable, particularly in cases where the victim is intoxicated or suffering mental health problems. This was substantiated by a recent CBC study that tested 41 Tasers, finding that 10 per cent demonstrated much greater effects than the manufacturer claimed.Amnesty International found that of the 290 individual Taser deaths reviewed, 90 per cent of the perpetrators were unarmed at the time of incapacitation. Though the impunity awarded to the officers who killed Robert Dziekanski will haunt Canadians, the real issue is one of classification: a Taser can no longer be regarded by law enforcement as a safe alternative to a firearm. Until proper training is provided to officers, proper regulation is exercised, or an outright ban of the weapon takes place, the fate of four officers will seem like small potatoes indeed.
Safe but deadly
Union prez stands by call to ban Israeli academics
As casualties mount in Gaza, criticism mounts at home over union president Sid Ryan's call for an academic boycott on Israel. Advocates deem the boycott an effective way to influence the Israeli government, while critics argue the move unfairly targets Israeli professors for nothing more than their nationality.Ryan is the head of CUPE Ontario, a union representing public sector workers. The union's University Workers Coordinating Committee will bring a motion "supporting an boycott of Israeli academic institutions to protest the bombing assault on Gaza and, in particular, the bombing of the Islamic University on December 29, 2008," reads the CUPE boycott resolution. "CUPE Ontario is taking this action in response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees."How exactly such a boycott would be carried out is uncertain. The resolution names some possibilities, including refusing to participate in conferences at Israeli universities and advocating for suspension of funding and subsidies for Israeli institutions. If the proposal passes a vote in February, it goes to CUPE members for approval in May as the union asks Ontario universities to adopt its measures. CUPE-O passed a similar resolution in 2006, followed by the U.K.'s National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education, Britain's largest union of university teachers.Many critics cite the potential divisiveness of such a move. "It serves no useful purpose. It's incredibly divisive generally speaking, and then when you bring it into a campus environment it certainly doesn't promote dialogue," argues Daniel Silverman, program associate at U of T Hillel. "It really flies in the face of everything a university environment should be." Silverman noted the diverse fields Israeli professors represent and challenged the usefulness of cutting off potential academic contributors.Franklin Bialystok, a U of T Jewish Studies professor whose concentrations include modern Israeli history, also objects to the boycott. "Where was CUPE Ontario when Hamas was deploying 8,000-plus missiles against civilian settlements? Or on human rights violations in China and during the genocide in Darfur?"Activists like Science for Peace president Judith Deutsch, who was among 10 Jewish women who attempted to enter and occupy the Israeli consulate last Wednesday, are in favour of the boycott. Deutsch sees it as a way to effectively pressure the Israeli government without hurting the general population economically. Deutsch allies herself with Israeli academics like Ilan Pappé, formerly of Haifa University and now on the University of Exeter faculty, who supported the boycotts in Britain."Many others have felt that [boycott] might be one of the only things that people in Israel would respond to, in terms of the government and the powers that be that seem so impervious to criticism," she said. Science for Peace has drafted a petition, stating that they "condemn in the strongest terms the flagrant violations of the right to education and the academic freedom of our colleagues and their students in Gaza and the West Bank," calling for signatures from fellow teachers.Nonetheless, said Bialystok, the boycott applies special standards to Israel, out of the context of human rights issues in the Middle East. "CUPE Ontario [fails to mention] the oppression of workers in the rest of the Arab and most of the Islamic countries, the treatment of women, the prohibitions against unions, the violations against the rights of women and homosexuals […] While there is much to criticize about Israeli policy, it isn't constructive to distort the situation."Despite the barrage of criticism, Ryan has stood by his proposal. "Academic freedom goes both ways," he said, "What we are saying is if they want to remain silent and be complicit in these kinds of actions, why should they enjoy the freedom to come and teach in other countries like Canada?" Ryan has, however, apologized for comparing the bombing of Gaza's universities to Nazi atrocities.
Sparks Will Fly
Toronto-based independent record label Out of this Spark celebrated its second anniversary with performances from the four acts on its roster. The birthday bash, held at Tranzac Club on January 10th, showcased the label's wide range of talent while collecting non-perishable food items for the Daily Bread Food Bank.The grassroots label got its start in 2006 with the Friends in Bellwoods compilation, designed as a fundraiser for the food bank. Two years later, OOTS founder Stuart Duncan has established an artist-focused infrastructure that runs contrary to the corporate music industry—OOTS's artists maintain publishing rights over their music.Operating amid the sea of independent labels in Toronto, OOTS has distinguished itself by emphasizing quality over quantity—focused on promoting just four bands. Saturday night's soldout show was a testament to the OOTS method.Under the Christmas-light glow of the Tranzac stage, Jenny Omnichord kicked off the night with light-hearted, folksy songs from her 2008 album Charlotte or Otis: Duets for Children, Their Parents and Other People Too, which instantly warmed concertgoers trolling in from the snowstorm brewing outside. While Omnichord's album features a series of duets with the likes of rapper Shad and Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers, highlights of her Tranzac set included a duet with her father and the occasional wail from her four-month-old son on hand for the show.Featuring songs from their 2008 OOTS release We Are The Hunters, The D'Urbervilles followed with a high-energy set of post-punk tunes. A favourite among the crowd's underage members, the young men of The D'Urbervilles gave a charismatic performance with minimal banter and dedications to both Duncan and their families in attendance. With songs like "Dragnet" and "National Flowers," the band proved that the buzz surrounding their music is more than warranted.While the evening's audience seemed more interested in loud conversations and sipping on the Tranzac's draught selections, Forest City Lovers garnered quiet, rapt attention. The quartet has recently seen success south of the border, with radio rotation of songs off their sophomore album Haunted Moon Sinking. The band's rich orchestration, led by Mika Posen's violin, and the sweet but never saccharine vocals of Kat Burns showed off OOTS's softer side.The live show was capped off by Timbre Timber, whose music is best described as low-fi blues. However their performance seemed inspired by a clash of ultrasound machine chirps, robot chanting, and whale song. If you're confused and frustrated by that description, you're not alone, but it adequately fits a performance that was a far cry from the sounds of the band's forthcoming, eponymous release with OOTS. The duo spent their half hour crouching in the dark of the stage manipulating feedback. While such performance art might be riveting at Nuit Blanche, it left many an audience member scratching their head.The evening was a great reminder to jaded music lovers that unique, original music is still created on a small-time scale—even in a world that seems oversaturated with corporate-boosted "indie" bands. As the snow continued to fall, DJ Bahai Cassette helped the crowd transition from rock show to dance party mode, allowing fans, friends and family to mingle with bandmembers and raise a glass to Out of this Spark's second birthday. The terrible twos should be an exciting year for the label, with Timbre Timber's album and a new Friends in Bellwoods compilation in the works.Here's to a third anniversary.Out of this Spark will continue the celebration on January 16 with the same lineup at The Albion Hotel in Guelph, ON.
Greek riots mirror Toronto's problems, protesters say
In December, Greek protesters occupied 700 high schools and 100 universities amid days of massive riots, after police shot and killed 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos. His death fuelled anger at economic policies as the global financial crisis hit Greece, with demonstrators rallying against the privatization of education, barriers to immigration, police repression, and poverty. Their chants echo at solidarity protests across the world.In Toronto, U of T students joined others to raise banners outside the Greek Consulate. Dubbing their demonstration "Spark in Athens, Fire in Toronto," two dozen protesters sought to connect the unrest in Greece to local issues. The rioting in Greece comes at a time when higher education is increasingly more difficult to access, and when graduates face soaring unemployment."We're also here because we believe in universal access to education. The University of Toronto's priorities are all wrong. Instead of spending millions to build an elite sports facility, they could put their dollars towards supporting marginalized students," says Joeita Gupta, VP Internal for the Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students. U of T has publicly lobbied for the deregulation of tuition fees..Protesters also drew parallels between Canadian and Greek immigration policy."The ongoing occupations in Greece are against the repression of immigrants and refugees. The same repression happens here in Canada," says Hussan, a member of No One Is Illegal. In September, U of T students rallied to demand residency for Saad Alam, who lost his study permit midway through his Life Sciences and Psychology degree. He was subsequently deported to Bangladesh where he is unable to complete his studies. U of T president David Naylor declined to comment on his case."What's happening in Greece is happening across the world. The labour movement has the potential to be a catalyst for radical change to oppose the marginalization of racialized youth," says Ajamu Nangwaya, president of CUPE 3907.A community forum on the uprising in Greece and its lessons for Toronto will be held at OISE (Room 2211) on Jan. 17 at 5:30 p.m.
In Soviet Russia, play watches you!
"SHIT! PETROLEUM! FREEDOM!" chants the cast of Methusalem, or the Eternal Bourgeois at the height of the play's first revolution. By the end the audience has joined in on both the chanting and the party. Written by French-German surrealist Yvon Goll, the play is set in a vaguely industrial past, parodying capitalism with a stream of absurdities.For director Ted Witzel, Goll's text was only the starting point for the play's absurdity, to which he's made a number of adjustments. He's transformed the production into a blowout of reinterpretation by replacing a few of Goll's characters with robots (including hookerbot, who comes complete with a steel wool muff), adding unitards and glitter, and parodying modern-day radicalism. Monitored and controlled by a cadre of communist agents who sell Che Guevara t-shirts to the audience before the show ("Free with a $20 donation to the cause"), the players shout out light cues as the actors say their lines onstage.To top it all off, Methusalem is hilarious. The cast members sport their punchlines like costumes, drenched in facial expression, body language, and vocal pitch. They break the fourth wall, but only to let the audience in on the joke, throwing props into the audience. (Sitting in the second row, I caught a shoebox, revolutionary cardboard sign, and a few items of clothing.)It's clear that the actors are trying to get the audience to become radical communists, feeding into the subtext of irony on which the play rests. The play avoids preachiness because its message—the absurdity of politics—takes a backseat to pure entertainment.The Red Light District players are current or former U of T students, and they deliver a gem of wry comedy. You'll giggle every time Lauren Gillis hits her cowbell and recites poetry, or when Reid Linforth dances with his face lit up. You'll guffaw at Marcel Dragonieri's obtuse rants and Briana Templeton's nervous ones. And you'll appreciate the Commie tendencies of Jiv Parasram, Kat Letwin, and others who walk the line somewhere between working, acting, and advertising for the Learning Achievement Centre.All things considered, Methusalem lives up to the manifesto of the Red Light District (printed on the back of the program) and its three most important tenets: "We will not make theatre for your grandparents," "We will not honour the text," and, most importantly, "We will not bore you."Methusalem runs January 14 to 17 at the Whippersnapper Gallery, 587A College St. West. Tickets are $15, doors are at 7:30 p.m.
Triumphalist language' sets back gender equality: prof
How can anyone really think that they can change all the sexist practices in the world? No, that's not a cynical student you hear. The question came from visiting lecturer Jane L. Parpart, who delivered a sharp critique of gender-based development work at the Munk Centre on Friday.Parpart, a professor at the University of West Indies in Trinadad and Tobago, discussed how development policies were suffering from an overdose of "triumphalist language" that promotes gender equality as an achievable goal.The path to empowerment, Parpart reflected, isn't as simple as women's entry into places where they were previously excluded. Consider Condoleeza Rice: did her presence produce empowerment and destabilize the sexist bent of the US administration? Parpart argued Rice's senior position speaks more for her personal qualities than progress for women in general: "[Rice] played the game better than most of them."While development agencies pursue such easily measurable goals as inclusion into political office, Parpart said they ignore contexts where that inclusion doesn't produce the desired effect. In South Africa, she pointed out, women's political participation was among the highest in the world – but so were levels of violence against women. Sometimes women's inclusion into institutions doesn't resolve the deep-seated problems of gender equality.According to Parpart, development policies were simplified into technical and measurable goals that prevent nuanced understanding of empowerment. Instead of seeing gender empowerment as a clear-cut issue, to be measured and calculated, development agencies needed to take a cue from feminist scholarship.Parpart said that the women's movement needs to be seen as subtle and diverse, appearing in places development agencies might not recognize. Empowerment can be seen in young women expressing sexuality and wearing makeup as an act of resistance to their fathers, or in women who choose to wear the veil, she pointed out. Taking into account a variety of resistances, said Parpart, could help achieve the transformative change that development practices have yet to see. Karlotta James, an undergraduate in the International Relations program, went even further than Parpart in criticizing development practices. "We need to see gender mainstreaming in our own societies before we can enact gender mainstreaming in third-world countries," she said.
After her lecture, professor Parpart sat down with the Varsity to talk nationalism, how cultural differences collide with feminism, and flexible interpretations of empowerment.The Varsity: In your lecture, you mentioned that you see nationalism as having been 'hijacked' by masculinity. Can you envision a feminist nationalism?Jane Parpart: While it is certainly possible to have a feminist nationalism, since militarism and conflict tends to be gendered masculine, the tendency is for women in nationalist movements to identify more with masculine values rather than the reverse. The history of nationalism as a means for liberating women and improving gender relations is dismal — unfortunately.TV: How should development agencies and scholars deal with their links to political, economic, and social structures which may have caused or exacerbated the problems which they are trying to remedy e.g. US-affiliated development agencies in Afghanistan?JP: This is a very hard question to answer because it probably depends on situations. Some organizations can distance themselves, perhaps best by linking up with local people/organizations. But sometimes it is impossible. But it is something that has to be thought about — carefully. TV: How would you recommend development agencies address the critique of their gendered development work as a civilizing mission of "white men saving brown women from brown men" (to quote Gayatri Spivak). JP: This again is very complicated because development agencies have certainly used the idea that brown men often mistreat their women as a reason for northern interventions. At the same time, romanticizing all brown (or white) men as angels is clearly a problem. Again, I think this is a type of intervention that needs to be lead by local women and their allies, as they are the ones who have the right to say who is impeding their ambitions and desires. TV: You mentioned that there needs to be a more nuanced understanding of gender empowerment, and that practices which liberal feminists might label as patriarchal could actually be recognized as empowering. Is there a universal standard at which you would draw the line and argue that certain practices can never be empowering? Is it possible to have a flexible understanding of gender equality while maintaining such a universal standard?JP: I know that one has to be sensitive to difference and cultural practices, but it seems to me that there are practices that can be seen as universally detrimental to women — such as female genital cutting, the loss of control over one's body. I know this is controversial, and my point is that in an imperfect world, women often have to adopt very limited forms of resistance to patriarchal authority (and its female allies), and that that resistance has to be acknowledged rather than dismissed as disempowering, but that does not mean there are no universal standards that can be drawn. This is my own take on the matter as it is a continuing debate.
Bands to watch in 2009
This duo are poised to be the breakout rap all-stars of 2009, as their debut The Spirit of Apollo livens up standard American hip hop with Brazilian funk elements (their name stands for North America/South America). But the most appealing aspect of N.A.S.A. is the astounding list of guest stars, which includes Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li (all on the same track!). It's been confirmed that Tom Waits lends his gravelly crooning to a track called "Spacious Thoughts," giving The Spirit of Apollo the kind of advance buzz that only comes from legendary cameos.
Florence and the Machine
Twenty-two-year-old Florence Welch is a south London native who walks the line between howling anthems and delicate art-pop, a disparity that will make her 2009's model for eccentric sound and style. While she's only released a handful of singles thus far, her debut album is due in May from Island Records. If we had to select a new tortured British starlet to make up for the loss of Amy Winehouse to her superhuman drug addiction, Florence would be our candidate. Just keep her away from Pete Doherty!
The Knux
On their birth certificates, The Knux's Rah Almillio and Krispy Kream are officially listed as brothers Alvin and Kintrell Lindsey, who grew up playing all sorts of instruments that they eventually worked into this multi-faceted project. The boys ditched their hometown of New Orleans after Katrina and headed to Los Angeles, where they completed their debut album Remind Me In Three Days, which eschews the superglossy sound of modern day hip hop. The Knux's raw, crunchy guitar riffs allow them to get away with comparing themselves to The Strokes. They spent the end of 2008 opening up for Q-Tip on his North American tour, and the new year promises even bigger returns.
The latest product of the world's premier indie tastemakers, UK label XL Recordings, Essex's Magistrates are hard at work on what seems destined to be a star-making debut album. Combining indie-funk grooves with soulful, falsetto vocal turns, Magistrates will fill the void left by the swift demise of the nu-rave craze. Plus, it's always an encouraging sign when a band's MySpace bio sounds less like an endorsement and more like a warning, claiming that the five boys in Magistrates "are constructing a masterplan…to infect the world with a dirty groove like some out of control STD." Dance floors everywhere, beware.
Land Of Talk
The newest member of Broken Social Scene (but let's not hold it against her), Montréal's Liz Powell croons love songs amongst a crackling indie rock landscape that recalls Bonnie Raitt covering Dinosaur Jr. Though 2008 saw the highly acclaimed full length Some Are Lakes (produced by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon) signed to Saddle Creek, this year expect Land Of Talk to tour the West Coast, garner even more glowing reception from Land-lovers SPIN and Rolling Stone, bottle up, and explode.
Teen Anger
Picking up where bands like Anagram and the Deadly Snakes left off, Toronto's Teen Anger revives garage rock with classic whiplash guitars and lackadaisical laments on being young, bored, and working for minimum wage. Self-described as "three guys, a girl, and an alcohol addiction," June's LP release Banned From Beaver portrays a riotous punk energy augmented by car crash melodies. But don't miss them live—while Shakespeare might wonder what's in a name, the band ain't called Teen Anger for nothing.
U Ottawa suspends 'rogue prof'
A University of Ottawa professor has been suspended and banned from campus after years of locking horns with the administration. The tenured physics instructor could also lose his job: his dean recommends that the Board of Governors fire him.The university's argument with Denis G. Rancourt began in 2005. Rancourt took over a first-year course and, instead of sticking precisely to the senate-approved course outline, used experimental teaching methods like self-directed learning and cancelling grades. While response from students was largely positive, the university was livid and issued a stern reprimand. An arbiter agreed with the university's reprimand, but added that "[Rancourt's] pedagogical initiatives were legitimately within the purview of […] academic freedom."Friction between Rancourt and the administration increased the following year, when he taught a newly introduced course on science and society. The class generated a great deal of media coverage with its high-profile guest speakers, but also triggered a slew of lawsuits against the university over a TA shortage and registration errors. The Science Faculty Council declined to renew the course for the following academic year. Supporters of Rancourt, however, attended all council meetings and tabled motions to "challenge the chair," ultimately forcing the meetings to be cancelled.The situation reached critical mass in November 2008 when the university denied Rancourt's request to make his fourth-year physics course pass/fail. Rancourt promptly gave everyone in the class an A+. In response, U of O suspended Rancourt, locking his lab and redistributing his grad students. Campus police escorted him off campus.A number of professors at U of O have spoken against the man they call a rogue professor, alleging that Rancourt's actions have crossed well beyond the bounds of academic freedom. When asked about the sanctions against Rancourt, Alain St-Amant, a chemistry professor, said, "The events of the past few years are justified. You can't trust him to teach anymore."Many of Rancourt's former students have been very vocal in their support, while others have allegedly filed complaints against him.Rancourt's supporters retort that the professor's actions are well within the realm of academic freedom, and that the university's actions are politically motivated. "I believe the real reason they are being this vicious is […] my stated and well known positions and activism on Palestine and the Israel lobby," Rancourt said.

Background Sick sinus syndrome comprises a variety of conditions involving sinus node dysfunction and commonly affects elderly persons. When patients have contraindications or refuse to receive pacemaker therapy, the alternative treatment could be considered. Case Description A 36-year-old male of sick sinus syndrome successfully treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was reported. This patient refused permanent pacemaker implantation for personal reasons. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sumailing Koufuye, was employed. After 1-day administration, the patients recovered significantly, both in manifestations and Holter Holter monitor. Conclusion TCM showed therapeutic effects for early stage of sick sinus syndrome and could be promising alternative treatment.

Just wondering for those who emailed how long did it take to get an answer. I talked to Dave today, however since I'm from Canada he asked for shipping info to give me a quote. Do they usually reply fast?
I have the Antique Sound Lab MG HEad OTL mk III, and I do like it's sound better than the Yarland, but right now the ASL amp already has all Electro-Harminix tubes in it, and I am still waiting for my Russian tubes for the Yarland. I will report back on that. But with the stock Chinese tubes, the Yarland sounds good, but the ASL sounds better. Still, don't let that dissuade anyone from buying the Yarland - it costs less than the ASL, and it's very good, even with the stock tubes (for those who are not into tube-rolling, which I completely understand).
Hey Skylab,I think it would be best to refrain for judging the Yarland until it reaches peak performance.I mean you've only had it three days or so.Also your changing of all the tubes makes your upcomming review a little spotty.I think people need an accurate review with stock tubes in place to really make a good assessment as to the value of it .What do you think?

For years I avoided it because directions always made risotto seem terribly complicated. And the directions didn't make sense because I'd learned that stirring rice was bad and risotto recipes had lots of stirring. I didn't get it.
Until I made it.
You know how oatmeal cooks? How, as you stir it, it gets thicker and thicker? Or how mashing a few beans against the side of the pot thickens the broth?
That's what's happening with risotto: jostling the rice by frequent stirring thickens the broth. Then letting rice cook without a lid allows the broth to evaporate, which makes the broth even thicker. In other words, risotto is all method. If you cook Arborio rice (the one preferred for risotto) the usual way (1 cup rice, 1-3/4 cups water, covered with no stirring), the rice will come out dry but a little sticky, like any short-grain rice. But if you cook it in too much broth and stir it a lot, the broth thickens up and becomes a lovely, silken sauce.
Once you get it, making risotto is like tying your shoe, complicated to explain, but easy to do.—from Getting It (All About Making Risotto)
The Just Good Food blog (1998-2001) by John Ryan includes risotto recipes and a general introduction to risotto-making techniques.

Comments about Gibson 2014 LPM Electric Guitar:
I have used this incredible guitar to write many songs with and the tone is incredible. Please pay no attention to reviews knocking this guitar. They probably don't know what they're doing. It plays with a tone of a much more expensive guitar. Yes! It's got that Gibson tone from the 61' Zebra Humbuckers. Look don't just take my word for it. Go to a guitar center or someone's garage or whatever and try one out. Just amazing.

They keep making cheap guitars these years. Gibson just wanna stay in game. You can find a better guitar in this price range.

Build Identifier: Eudora 8.0.0b2
I used the <tools-import mail>, then in the next screen, selected Outlook, then <next> and the import started. I couldn't read anything that was in any of the folder. No messages were listed. Nor did the import program ask me which .pst file to import from (that is important, since I have several, only one of which was current).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above
Actual Results:
The folders were imported, but the messages from Outlook 2003 were not imported successfully - none of them.
Expected Results:
The Outlook 2003 mail and folders would be successfully imported AFTER Eudora asks me which .pst file to import FROM.
It fails for me as well. Trying to 'Import Everything' crashes. Trying to import just the mail from Outlook fails to import any mail (though the fact that I do not have 'local folders', ie, just IMAP/MAPI might account for that). Unfortunately Outlook importing is a lower priority for us than importing from Eudora, so this will likely have to wait a while.
Would be interesting to know if you have the same problem importing using the latest Thunderbird as well.

Changing product to Thunderbird, fix in Thunderbird would fix it also for the Penelope.

Fixes outlook mail import
Two issues identified.
1) 'pMsg' sent to nsOutlookCompose::SendTheMessage is modified locally only and changes do not reach nsOutlookMail::ImportMailbox.
2) 'destOutputStream' is created afresh for every mail => each mail overwrites previous mail.

If only nsIMsgSendListener used an nsILocalFile instead of an nsIFile this could have been pMsg->InitWithLocalFile(pListen->m_location) to match the intent of the original nsFileSpec code. Oh well. Anyway, while you're here, can you fix the indentation on this line, it seems to be 12 spaces too many.

Maine same-sex couples marry in first hours of law
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Arriving in a limo, Donna Galluzzo and Lisa Gorney had all the trappings of a traditional wedding: Rings, flowers, wedding vows, an entourage and a friend to officiate.
With tears in their eyes, they were among the first gay couples to exchange wedding vows early Saturday morning after Maine's same-sex marriage law went into effect at midnight.
"We're paving the way for people to go after us. I think it's just amazing. It's freeing. It's what's right," an emotionally drained Gorney said after their ceremony in front of City Hall.
After waiting years and seeing marriage rights nearly awarded and then retracted, gay couples in Maine's largest city didn't have to wait a moment longer than necessary to wed, with licenses issued at the stroke of midnight as the law went into effect.
Steven Bridges and Michael Snell were the first in line, and they received cheers from more than 200 people waiting outside after they wed in the clerk's office.
"It's historic. We've waited our entire lives for this," said Bridges, a retail manager, who's been in a relationship with the Snell, a massage therapist, for nine years. Bridges, 42, and Snell, 53, wore lavender and purple carnations on black T-shirts with the words "Love is love."
Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington state approved gay marriage in November, making them the first states to do so by popular vote. Gay marriage already was legal in New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia, but those laws were either enacted by lawmakers or through court rulings.
In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage signed off on the certified election results on Nov. 29, so the new law was to go into effect 30 days from that date. The law already is in effect in Washington state; Maryland's takes effect on Tuesday, the first day of 2013.
Nobody knew exactly how many couples would be rushing to get their marriage licenses early Saturday in Maine. Falmouth joined Portland in opening at midnight. Other communities including Bangor, Brunswick and Augusta planned to hold special Saturday hours.
In Portland, the mood was festive with the crowd cheering and horns sounding at midnight as Bridges and Snell began filling out paperwork in the clerk's office in Portland City Hall. There were free carnation boutonnieres and cupcakes, and a jazz trio played.
Outside, the raucous group that gathered in front of the building cheered Bridges and Snell as if they were rock stars and broke into the Beatles' "All You Need is Love."
Fourteen couples received marriage licenses, and five of them married on the spot, a city spokeswoman said. Many of those who received their marriage license were middle-aged, and some said they never envisioned a day when gay couples could wed just like straight couples.
"I came out years ago and the only thing we wanted was to not get beaten up," said Steven Jones, 50, who married his partner, Jamous Lizotte, on his 35th birthday.
Not everyone was getting married right away.
Suzanne Blackburn and Joanie Kunian, of Portland, were among those in line to get their license at midnight, but they planned to have their marriage ceremony later. One of their grandchildren wanted them to get married on Valentine's Day.
"I don't think that we dared to dream too big until we had the governor's signature," Blackburn said. "That's why it's so important, because it feels real."
Bridges and Snell already considered themselves married because they'd held a commitment ceremony attended by friends and family six years ago. Nonetheless, they thought it was important to make it official under state law, as Snell's two daughters watched.
Katie and Carolyn Snell, the daughters, said the ceremony made formal what they knew all along to be true about the couple.
"It's just a piece of paper," said Katie Snell. "Their love has been there, their commitment has been there, all along. It's the last step to make it a true official marriage because everything else has been there from the start."

Our next stop off was Carmel-by-the-sea and Monterey. Once a bohemian artists colony, Carmel now has the feel of a well manicured country club.

When we went to Brophys Tavern, the bar where we were meeting Erin, we got some pink lemonade and ate sliders and calamari. We gave Erin lots of hugs and had a great time seeing her. We then had trouble finding somewhere to park up for the night so we decided to stay in the Target carpark. It was a great day overall. See you all soon! -Grace

It takes a doughty little band to weather a hype storm, and it's the bouyancy of Bear Hands' tunes that saved them. College pals of MGMT, 2008 saw this newborn group dragged into a big bag of Brooklyn also-rans by next big thing-hunters sniffing for psychedelic young men.
Not a great deal has been heard from them on these shores since, but new album 'Distraction' is worth another listen; its songs are irrepressibly vigorous.
Opener 'Bone Digger' has a sweet, tremulously tropical edge to its guitar, with a funky rhythmic hit and a rubbery bass, the whole reminiscent of pop Talking Heads. It's a sound that should leave them in a lost file stamped SO TWO YEARS ago, but tunes always win through.
There's a bald, conversational directness to Dylan Rau's lyrics that grabs the attention too, as on the hammerng chorus of 'Bad Friend' ("but I still love you") and 'Agora''s frank plea for healing in a relationship beset by phobias. 'Giants',all thick, glimmery organ, muscular bass and thrashy, Pixies-ish guitar rounds things off neatly with its triumphal chorus of "I am loving you more". It's a fun way to remember that fashion's cruel's cycles don't always win.Reuse content

A murder investigation is underway after the body of an elderly woman was found in a freezer, according to reports.
Police discovered the body on Friday in a council flat in Portsmouth, after receiving calls from council workers concerned for the welfare of a pensioner, the Portsmouth News has reported.
The woman has been named locally as Louise Brough.
A Hampshire police spokesperson said: "Officers attended the address following a call from Portsmouth City Council. There were concerns for the welfare of an older woman living in a council property.
"A 53-year-old man from Southsea was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
"He is due to report back to police in November. Initial enquiries show there is no risk to the wider community."
Witnesses say police officers with dogs turned up to the flat and forced entry after receiving no response.
The ground floor property has been cordoned off by police while door-to-door enquiries are been carried out.
A 53-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and has been released on bail.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Tuesday.

Running against the tide here, but I cannot resist a new, latest and
greatest" shade perennial. Love to experiment in my gardens. Part of the
excitement of gardening. Trial and error. I do try to read closely and watch
the hardiness zones. But... but.... yes, I have killed a few perennials in
my time. Some was just me, some was plants that never had a chance, but I am
having a good time playing.

Subject: [CHAT] New or Tried and True?
I was reading a trade article and the interviewee was asked what he thought
some of the new perennials. He replied, " Coreopsis 'Crhme Brulee,' and
'Limerock Ruby': These were hot, hot plants five years ago. Everybody had to
have them. Now, they're like the lepers of the perennial community."
I like that phrase, "the lepers of the perennial community." It fits. The
thing good about some plants, like 'Limerock Ruby', is that they make way
something else to kill.
I've seen so many plants come and go in my previous hort-head life that I
prefer to grow the tried and true. If they're newer plants, I want them
in my climate. I don't care whether a plant does great in Chicago. I want it
tested at UGA. Even though UGA is a bit warmer in winter than my area, and
soil is better, and there are plenty of garden slaves (hort students) to
care of the beds and to weed and water, at least it's humid - with hideously
hot days and many hot nights. If a plant thrives there, it's likely to
in my garden.
What do you think? Are you still wanting plants that are on the cutting
or do you prefer to save the money and the aggravation?

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-38) default splitter should incorporate fs block size
|Wed, 15 Feb 2006 01:31:15 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-38?page=comments#action_12366421 ] eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-38: ------------------------------------------- some thoughts: 1) Eventually you are going to want raid / erasure coding style things. The simplest way to do this without breaking reads is to batch several blocks, keeping them linear and then generate parity once all blocks are full. This gets more expensive as block size increases. At current sizes, this can all be buffered in RAM in some cases. 1GB blocks rule that out. 2) Currently you can trivially keep a block in RAM for a MAP task. Depending on scaling factor, you can probably keep the output in ram for sorting, reduction, etc. too. This is nice. As block size increases you loose this property. 3) When you loose a node, the finer grained the lost data, the fewer hotspots you have in the system. Today in a large cluster you can easily have choke points with ~33mbit aggregate all to all. We've seen problems with larger data sizes slowing recovery times to a real problem. 1GB blocks take 10x as long to transmit, and this turns into minutes, which will require more sophisticated management. --- None of these are show stoppers, but one of the main reasons we are interested in hadoop is in getting off of our current very large storage chunk system, so I'd hate to see the default move quickly to something as large as 1GB. I can see the advantages of pushing the block size up to manage task tracker RAM size, but I doubt that alone will prove a compelling reason for us to change our default block size. On the other hand, I also don't think we'll be pumping 1 peta byte through a single m/r in the near term, so we can assume the zero code solution, change block size, until we have more data to support some other approach. Of course at 1M tasks, you will want to be careful about linear scans anyway... I've no concern with the proposal in this bug. Probably can take this discussion elsewhere > default splitter should incorporate fs block size > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-38 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-38 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Doug Cutting > > By default, the file splitting code should operate as follows. > inputs are <file>*, numMapTasks, minSplitSize, fsBlockSize > output is <file,start,length>* > totalSize = sum of all file sizes; > desiredSplitSize = totalSize / numMapTasks; > if (desiredSplitSize > fsBlockSize) /* new */ > desiredSplitSize = fsBlockSize; > if (desiredSplitSize < minSplitSize) > desiredSplitSize = minSplitSize; > chop input files into desiredSplitSize chunks & return them > In other words, the numMapTasks is a desired minimum. We'll try to chop input into at least numMapTasks chunks, each ideally a single fs block. > If there's not enough input data to create numMapTasks tasks, each with an entire block, then we'll permit tasks whose input is smaller than a filesystem block, down to a minimum split size. > This handles cases where: > - each input record takes a lot of time to process. In this case we want to make sure we use all of the cluster. Thus it is important to permit splits smaller than the fs block size. > - input i/o dominates. In this case we want to permit the placement of tasks on hosts where their data is local. This is only possible if splits are fs block size or smaller. > Are there other common cases that this algorithm does not handle well? > The part marked 'new' above is not currently implemented, but I'd like to add it. > Does this sound reasonble? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Hi there,
I'm about to start my 2nd full cycle.
I had one that had 4 eggs collected but no embryos lasted until day 5
I was cancelled the next cycle due to high FSH (18)
Now my FSH is down to 2.5 - i'm using melatonin, CoQ10 and Androgen cream.
And having acupuncture once a week.
Have 4 follicles on the right as of Day 2 scan.
Doing a boost cycle this time
Just looking to share some experiences with others going through the process. I'm feeling its a bit isolating and want to keep positive through this cycle.
