Wine Country Breather Part 2
Our inn belongs to the company of Ferrari-Carano who also owns a vineyard. Thus, we have a free tasting flight.
The walk up from the parking lot to the tasting room is thru a well marked path amid a well-manicured garden. The Ferrari-Carano garden is well known. However, it was February and very little was blooming.
The tasting room is seen in the background. I didn't take pictures while wine tasting.
When we finished with our tasting flight (none of the wines we tasted made an impression to either the hubs nor I) we were ready to go and find the other wineries for more wine tasting, but I spotted the a little gated garden a bit secluded. So we went and investigated.
Join me as I walk around the garden:
We left Ferrari-Carano with the intention of going to town for a little bit more of wine tasting, except that we passed by a small roadside store that seems quirky enough for our taste. We parked on the dirt roadside and went in. Inside is a combination of gift shop and deli. We bought one sandwich to split and a bottled drink. The store is in a little hilly area overlooking the road and miles and miles of vineyards. The seating area in the front of the store had been taken. An older couple, unmistakenly tourists, were sipping vino on the rocking chairs looking contentedly at the view. There were Hispanics on the tables drinking beer and eating chips. Apparently coming back from day at work. They were quite loud, but not rude.
We took a little picnic table on the side that was just vacated by a couple of cyclists. The sandwich was filling.
When we took the road again, we changed our minds about more wine tasting for the day. It was getting late, I told the hubby I wanted to go back to the inn by sundown so I can get a good sunset shot.
However, he said while we're here why not go and see about making our visit to Guy Fieri's restaurant, JOHNNY GARLIC'S. We are fans of the celebrity chef.
Despite our dinner reservations in less than 2 hours, I was persuaded to sit in the bar and order a drink and this appetizer, artichokes and made from scratch potato chips.
When we got back to the inn to rest and freshen up before dinner, the sun had clearly gone down but I managed to capture this.
Unfortunately it was too dark to even tell it's from a vineyard.

i can see you do have a knack for wine tasting. ^0^ReplyDelete
as for me, even the simplest merlot or cabernet sauvignon looks the same to me.
i wish i could have that wine tasting experience sometime. ^0^
beautiful garden. love the colors. love the shots. thanks for taking me there. :)ReplyDelete
Nice series in the garden!ReplyDelete
Simply beautiful. and your artichoke and chips appetizer makes my mouth water even though it's nearly midnight as i write this.ReplyDelete
A very good place to be lost...Good workReplyDelete
The garden you spotted made a fine diversion. Thanks for taking us along.ReplyDelete

You knew that Charcot was one of the originators of hypnotism in France, didn't you?
Why does not Charcot send all his nervous patients to Ireland?
This is charming after the way in which the profession of which Charcot is really a bright light treated Mesmerism.
When in that article you said that Charcot taught you to stand pain, was there any truth in that?
Those present were talking about magnetism, about Donato's tricks, and about Doctor Charcot's experiences.
No doubt, this other Charcot will come when the time is ripe.
Third, the short period during which the influence of Charcot and the Paris school prevailed.
Charcot's scheme of word-picture combination: 1, Auditory image.
Charcot says in his superb work on the subject that—er—that—well, we will hardly go into it now.
It is Charcot who tells that this broke him effectually of the habit.
Charcot Char·cot (shär-kō'), Jean Martin. 1825-1893.

WATCH: Pharrell Williams performs before NBA All-Star Game
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
Pharrell Williams is showing off the reasons he's considered one of music's top all-stars.
Ahead of Sunday's 2014 NBA All-Star Game on TNT, the Grammy-winning producer took the stage to provide the soundtrack for the player introductions. Pharrell enlisted his own all-star team of special guests, such as Snoop Dogg, who performed his Pharrell-assisted song "Beautiful."
Pharrell kicked off the performance by taking on his solo hit "Frontin'" before welcoming the night's first guest -- Nelly. The St. Louis-based emcee performed his 2002 hit "Hot in Here," which was produced by Pharrell and his Neptunes partner Chad Hugo.
The night got even with hotter when Sean "Diddy" Combs and Busta Rhymes arrived on stage to perform an all-star version of their 2002 collaboration "Pass the Courvoisier, Part 2."
Pharrell didn't just stick to his past hits for the performance. He also performed verses from his chart topping summer hits "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk before closing out the performance with his latest hit, the Oscar-nominated "Happy."

LONDON -- Two men from London have been sentenced to 27 months behind bars for a string of ambitious condom machine robberies. The brazen pair began their crime spree on Valentine's Day last year.
Bradley Alan Shipp, 26, and John Edward Gill, 24, targeted condom vending machines in hotels, clubs and pubs across South Wales. According to local press reports, the arrests followed an intensive six-month investigation. In all, the two thieves were said to have made off with some £2,000 ($3,200).
Both Shipp and Gill have previous convictions for theft.

In a recent review, I wrote about consolidating FC and Ethernet networks using FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and Cisco's new Nexus 5000 switch. As the review showed, the solution merges the two transport protocols easily, allowing FC frames to navigate through a 10 Gig Ethernet connection without giving up features or performance.
Add a CNA (converged network adapter) to a server, and you can give your applications easy access to FC storage attached to a converged network. Essentially a 10 Gig Ethernet NIC with a split FC personality, the CNA plays both roles at once, which brings several financial and practical benefits.
But what wasn't explicitly addressed in the review is FCoE's effect on server virtualization. For example, what happens when you bring together VMware ESX, VMotion, and FCoE? Is there any advantage over the traditional FC approach?
Emulex made its Demo lab available to me to help answer those questions. The lab included three VMware ESX servers connected to a fabric network using either old-fashioned FC cards or the new CNA.
This annotated topology map (please click here for a larger image) taken with Cisco Fabric Manager, shows my test bed. On the left are the FCoE players, an ESX server with an Emulex LP21000 CNA, and connected to it, the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch.
On the right side are the FC devices with two ESX servers, each mounting Emulex LPe11000 adapters, and connected to the Cisco MDS switch.
The yellow line shows the path from the test VM (middle) to the MDS switch and then to its storage devices.
One side note: The Emulex adapters implement NPIV (N_Port ID virtualization), a useful feature that provides each VM with a virtual WWN (worldwide name). NPIV is a much more flexible alternative to having only one WWN assigned to the ESX server, and shared by all its VMs.
Using VMotion, it was a snap to move the test VM from the original server to the CNA-equipped ESX server, while maintaining access to its LUNs -- handy, should you want to perform maintenance on the original ESX server or balance the load across the two. Once again, the server on the left doesn't have native FC adapters, only a CNA.
I had intended to post a movie clip of the test VM moving to the new ESX server using VMotion, but the action lasted only a few seconds. Not much of a movie, but that's how long it took to drag the test VM from one ESX server to another, working on the VMware Infrastructure Client (the green arrow, top left on the image link, indicates the direction of the move).
Instead of showing such a short clip, here's what the test bed layout looked like after the move, again captured with Fabric Manager. As expected, the test VM is now attached to the first server on the left, and reaches its storage target going first through the Nexus 5000. However, the test VM and the applications (I had Iometer and a movie clip running) remained unaffected by the change. The beauty of the FCoE-plus-VMware approach is that nothing has to be changed on the storage side or on the application server for VMotion to work.
If you are wondering how difficult it is to manage the CNA, the answer is not very. As we are on Emulex's turf, the powerful features of its flagship management application, HBAnywhere, still apply, including remote management.
How much will deploying this little marvel cost? Well, for Nexus 5000 pricing, please refer to the review. As for the CNA, the OEMs ultimately set the price, so I did not get a straight figure from Emulex. However, they did describe the ballpark as "less than the total cost of a Fibre Channel HBA and a 10G Ethernet NIC combined."
Indeed, you should be able to save money on adapters, given that a single CNA (two if you need high availability or multipathing) can take on both loads; therefore, you don't need FC adapters on every server. This also means fewer wires and fewer connections to the storage fabric, hence a less expensive and easier-to-support layout.
Whatever you save, those benefits are not much compared with the exceptional flexibility that the FCoE/VMotion combo brings to the datacenter. VMotion made moving a VM from one server to another as easy as dragging and dropping, provided that all other conditions were met. FCoE devices such as the Emulex CNA and the Nexus 5000 provide that level of network virtualization that removes most of the obstacles to a smooth VMotion. It's a match made in admin heaven.

I am extremely new to Backtrack!
I am running backtracker on VMplayer. I run the machine and hit BackTrack Text - Default Boot Text Mode. i then enter "startx". into the command lines. and from there is the rest...
Basically, i open Wicd network manager and i am greeted with a "no wireless networks found" message. I am connected to my router using a USB-N53 USB wireless card. From my research i have found it uses a Ralink rt3572 chipset! From all my research i have found that the issue MAY be due to me needing to download a driver for Backtrack relating to the chipset!
I don't know what other information i should provide you with so please ask all questions necessary!

Metabolic Syndrome After Hormone-Modifying Therapy: Risks Associated With Antineoplastic Therapy
Metabolic Syndrome After Hormone-Modifying Therapy: Risks Associated With Antineoplastic Therapy
The incidence of metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing. Metabolic syndrome is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality secondary to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and hepatic dysfunction. A body of evidence has already implicated metabolic syndrome as a cancer risk factor; emerging evidence now suggests that cancer survivors themselves may be at risk for developing metabolic syndrome as a result of their anti-cancer therapy. Treatment of both breast cancer and prostate cancer often involves hormone-modifying agents that have been linked to features of metabolic syndrome. Androgen suppression in men with prostate cancer is associated with dyslipidemia, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance. Anti-estrogen therapy in women with breast cancer can affect lipid profiles, cardiovascular risk, and liver function. Similar findings have been noted in men with testicular cancer treated with chemotherapy. In addition, several emerging therapies, including mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and targeted kinase inhibitors, are increasingly associated with some features of metabolic syndrome. As the number of cancer survivors continues to grow, consideration of these factors and of the risk of metabolic syndrome will become increasingly important when choosing between therapy options and managing long-term follow-up.
The last 3 decades have seen a steady increase in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, most notably in the American population but also on a global scale.[1,2] These trends have resulted in a marked increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome; this term is used to describe a specific constellation of findings, defined by the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute as including the following: elevated waist circumference (>102 cm in men or >88 cm in women), elevated triglyceride level (>150 mg/dL or the use of specific treatment for elevated triglycerides), reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level (<40 mg/dL in men or <50 mg/dL in women), elevated blood pressure (>130/85 mm Hg or the use of medication for hypertension), and elevated fasting glucose level (>100 mg/dL or the use of medication for hyperglycemia). Recent studies estimate that one in five Americans, or nearly 50 million people, suffer from metabolic syndrome.[3]
Understanding, treating, and preventing metabolic syndrome has become a priority because of the tremendous health burden faced by individuals in whom the syndrome is diagnosed. Not only are patients with metabolic syndrome at a substantially elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and the development of cancer,[4] but the combined metabolic irregularities of the syndrome are also directly linked to greatly elevated morbidity and mortality associated with other conditions that arise from metabolic derangement. In addition to increasing the morbidity associated with cardiovascular disease,[5] metabolic syndrome leads to an elevated incidence of type 2 diabetes and is increasingly associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a rising cause of liver transplantation, even in children.[6,7] For the individual patient and for society, the potential long-term consequences of untreated metabolic syndrome are immense.
Accumulating evidence suggests that cancer survivors may be at particular risk for developing metabolic syndrome secondary to their anti-cancer therapy.[8,9] Because both estrogen and testosterone have been implicated in driving malignant cell growth, hormone-modifying agents are currently used to treat several different cancers, including breast and prostate tumors. Multiple studies indicate that changes in sex hormone levels modify metabolism,[10-12] and relative hormone levels may help explain the marked differences observed between the incidence of metabolic syndrome in men and the incidence in women.[13] Metabolic changes associated with modification of either estrogen or androgen levels are consequently of direct relevance to the large and ever-growing number of cancer survivors who have received hormone-modifying agents.
In addition, the newest classes of anti-cancer drugs include multiple compounds with potentially far-reaching effects on intracellular signaling pathways. A number of these agents, including kinase inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, have the potential to affect not only cellular proliferation but also critical growth and energy-sensing mechanisms that may have profound effects on metabolism.
There are a myriad of ways in which cancer survivors can be affected by antineoplastic therapy. It is thus the aim of this review to synthesize the available data in order to assess the risk of metabolic syndrome associated with selected antineoplastic therapies.
Metabolic Syndrome in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Treatment for prostate cancer includes surgery, radiation, and androgen suppression therapy.[14,15] Androgen suppression is highly successful at treating the disease, but accumulating evidence suggests that this therapy may lead to metabolic syndrome. Studies in a cohort of Medicare enrollees demonstrate that androgen suppression is linked to an increased risk of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (MI), and sudden cardiac death.[8] Tsai and colleagues[16] demonstrated that, even after controlling for age and pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors by regression analysis, patients who underwent androgen ablation still had a nearly three-fold increase in risk of death from cardiovascular causes. Of particular interest, when the incidence of fatal MI in a group of patients treated with androgen suppression was compared with the incidence in a group not treated with androgen suppression, the patients who received androgen suppression were found to be more likely to have a fatal MI at an earlier age.[17] In fact, the cardiovascular risk associated with androgen suppression therapy is so substantial that increased cardiovascular morbidity may even contribute to lower disease survival in men with low-risk prostate cancer.[17] When compared with age-matched controls, patients who undergo androgen suppression have higher levels of central obesity and greater elevations of blood triglyceride levels.[18] Also, the low testosterone levels associated with either gonadal dysfunction or androgen suppression therapy are also thought to raise total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels—all factors associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.[19]
In addition to its effect on cardiovascular risk factors, androgen suppression is also known to affect insulin resistance, another characteristic of metabolic syndrome.[20] Several studies demonstrating the link between androgen suppression and adverse changes in patients' cardiac risk profiles also note an increased risk of incident diabetes or hyperglycemia in patients who receive androgen suppression, in some cases with a calculated risk that exceeds the risk of cardiovascular disease.[8,18] Importantly, changes in the risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes develop independently of patient age and body mass index (BMI) at time of diagnosis, suggesting that androgen suppression therapy itself can contribute to the development of glycemic irregularities.[21] In fact, in a population of men with low testosterone levels, a decreased testosterone level preceded detectable elevations in fasting glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c levels, suggesting that a low testosterone level may serve as a marker for the development of incident diabetes.[22] Even short-term androgen suppression therapy has been shown to influence both abdominal obesity and insulin sensitivity.[23] Finally, in a cohort of men with pre-existing diabetes, glycemic control as measured by serum glucose levels and hemoglobin A1c levels markedly worsened in up to 22% of the cohort following initiation of androgen suppression.[24]

For the last time...
The iPhone 4 can ALWAYS be jailbroken because of a HARDWARE Exploit (tethered jailbreak).
Any iDevice above an A4 Chip requires a SOFTWARE Exploit.
Stop thinking we can get a tethered jailbreak on A5 & A6 chips unless a HARDWARE Exploit is found.
Do your homework and understand the difference...
I'm sure they post pics to get everyone to adopt the new iOS so everyone updates and they can extort more money out of saurik, not that I feel bad for him and his monopolist outdated Cydia.
Only reason I jailbreak now is for BiteSMS, SBSettings, and Activator. And then those other little gems you find every now and then. But the vast majority of apps on Cydia are useless, along with Theming which slows down the phone to a stand still. I love iOS 6 (even though it was kind of a disappointment feature wise), does everything it needs to and made my phone A LOT more faster. So point of my post is I can wait for a jailbreak, heck waited two months back when the iPhone 4 first came out.
I can wait almost a year for an untethered jailbreak for 6.0... By then some kinks will be ironed out and many of the most used mods on Cydia will be compatible... I waited 5 months for a jailbreak for 3.1.3 and went crazy cause I needed to be Jailbroken to use my phone on t-mobile... I learned after that never to update until a jailbreak is available and even if it is to wait a little longer do things can be updated to work with the newer firmware...
On the bright side, there are many packages on Cydia that already have been updated with support for 6.0... Hang in there y'all...
I will have my Nokia 920 by then , it's time for a change here, I maybe come back to Apple, but I am willing to give windows a go again .
Patience. Patience. Patience. Give these talented people time. It amazes me how so many people feel genuinely entitled to a jailbreak (now now now hurry hurry hurry!). Every iOS to date has been jailbroken so be patient and it will be here when it's ready and stable.
Does anyone know how to downgrade from 6 to 5.1.1 without restoring? If so please let me know in a pm cause I want to JailBreak and get a working firmware. 6 ruined my 4s and I hate it but don't want to lose anything that I have on it currently.
i still believe
You need 5.1.1 SHSH for it to work though.


text: Issue 09 Preview – Unusual Suspects – Rescue Knives Patrick Vuong 0 COMMENT We prefer an everyday carry (EDC) knife that is slim and built to last, with a quick opening. But there is some logic in carrying a slightly brawnier knife if it can do more than just slice or penetrate.

GSA: 2009 Relocation Tax Tables Now Available on gsa.gov
March 11, 2009
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The annual tax tables for calculating the Relocation Income Tax Allowance (RITA) used by federal agencies and transferees is now available on the U.S. General Services Administration's Web site, the agency announced today.
GSA published the tables about two months earlier than in previous years, an accomplishment managed by changing the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) late last year. Now, the tables can be published as a FTR Bulletin rather than making a formal change to the FTR, an effort which takes much longer.
GSA's Acting Associate Administrator of Governmentwide Policy Stan Kaczmarczyk signed the Federal Register Notice marking the relocation income tax allowances on February 25, 2009.
By making the tables available on gsa.gov, anyone with Internet access may find information about updates to the 2009 tables which may reflect changes in the federal, state and Puerto Rico income tax brackets and tax rates.
The RITA tables are a valuable resource in calculating the tax allowance for relocating federal employees when they file reimbursement vouchers with their agencies for moving expenses. Taxes are withheld since the money is treated as income. To get the money back, employees file claims with their agencies, and the agencies in turn calculate the tax allowance using the RITA tables.
2009 Relocation Income Tax Allowance (RITA) Tables
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy made it possible to publish the tables earlier this year by changing the Federal Travel Regulation in 2008.

7 U.S. Code § 7481 - Findings and declaration of policy
§ 7481.
Findings and declaration of policy

LONG BEACH - The future of New City K-8 charter school may be safe, for now.
In a move that drew applause from a room filled with concerned New City parents, Long Beach Unified School District officials on Monday recommended to the Board of Education that the district not move to revoke the school's charter. The 500-student New City K-8 on Long Beach Boulevard has been in danger of losing its charter due to concerns over its financial and academic stability.
In a public hearing Monday afternoon at 1515 Hughes Way, LBUSD Superintendent Chris Steinhauaser said the district still has serious concerns over the school's performance. LBUSD officials, however, are hopeful that the school district and New City can work together over the next several months to fix the deficiencies, he said.
"The school has made some difficult decisions, but communication (between New City leaders and district staff) has been excellent," said James Suarez, the district's assistant director of special projects.
Charter schools are publicly funded, independently run schools. They're overseen by school districts but are free from many of the education regulations binding traditional public schools.
Founded in 2000, New City at one time showed significant gains on the state's Academic Performance Index. The school's standardized test scores have plummeted in recent years, prompting the state to place New City, along with 13 other California charter schools, on a watch list.
New City's Academic Performance Index for 2011 was 612, marking it as the lowest performing elementary and K-8 school in the LBUSD.
School district officials have also expressed concerns over New City's financial stability. A school district report released in May noted that New City hadn't made its monthly $40,000 payments on a $5.4 million loan since December.
Last month, the school board unanimously approved a notice of intent to revoke New City's charter, a move met with backlash from hundreds of parents.
LBUSD spokesman Chris Eftychiou said district staff had planned to recommend that the board move to revoke the school's charter in its regular meeting Tuesday.
School administrators, however, changed their minds after hearing new information on the school's financial plan, he said.
"Key to possibly tabling the revocation for now is the fact that New City has worked with its lender to modify its loan and reduce its monthly payments from about $40,000 to $25,000," Eftychiou wrote in an email. "We learned about this agreement on Thursday. This one-year, temporary modification of their loan allows essentially interest-only payments, helping to buy the school some more time."
LBUSD staff plans to recommend the creation of a memorandum of understanding between the school district and New City, outlining steps that the school must take to prove its financial and academic stability. The school board could still revoke the charter within 30 days of Monday's hearing if the district and school are not able to reach an agreement on a memorandum of understanding.
For now, the plan for a memorandum is expected to appear on the Sept. 4 school board meeting agenda.
While New City was able to reduce the monthly payments on its loan, LBUSD staff expressed concern over the school's long-term debt.
New City Executive Director Sabrina Bow said the school has established a financial plan that will secure the school's future at its current location and pull the school out of debt as early as December. The school has established new academic programs that are already beginning to show results, Bow said, adding that its unofficial preliminary state standardized test results for 2012 have showed a 40-point gain.
The 2012-2013 school year, she said, will mark the rebirth of New City.
The news comforted parents who were concerned that the school would shutter two weeks before the start of the new school year.
"It's definitely a major relief," said Arselia Martinez, whose two children attend New City. "We really had no 'Plan B.'"
The New City classes will start on Sept. 5, as planned.

The Brevard College men's soccer team heads to Belmont, N.C. to face Belmont Abbey in its first road game of the season Wednesday at 4 p.m.
• BC won a double overtime thriller Saturday after freshman Rhem Stubbs headed in the game-winner in the 116th minute to snap a three-match losing skid against Erskine, 2-1. The Tornados won its season-opener for the first time since at least 2008.
• Stubbs was tabbed South Atlantic Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week following his two-goal performance against the Flying Fleet. Stubbs put the Tornados up 1-0 in the 40th minute before nailing the game-winner.
• Freshman goalkeeper Heath Turner turned in an impressive collegiate debut following an 11-save performance, including three in a span of 13 seconds in the 64th minute.
• BC head coach and athletic director Juan Mascaro enters his seventh season at the helm for the Tornados. Mascaro's squad returns 16 players, including last season's leading scorer Marcelo Betcer.
• The Tornados look to end a five-match losing skid to the Crusaders. BC has scored only three goals during the skid, including three shutouts. Last season, BC jumped out to a 1-0 advantage in the first half, but fell 3-1 following three unanswered goals.
• Belmont Abbey is 1-1-0 on the season. The Crusaders defeated Newberry, 2-1, Saturday, but lost 2-1 to Carson-Newman last Thursday.
along with Betcer, Jami Uuttu looks to pace the squad after tying for the team
lead in assists with two. Uuttu is one of three seniors on the BC roster along
with Pauli Jussila and midfielder Adam Martin. Martin was one of six players to

Devil May Cry 4 Summary
Devil May Cry 4 Review
Capcom bring their latest instalment of brutal demon slaying to the PC with added modes and even better visuals.
Latest news
Second trailer for Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
The upcoming Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition has just received another trailer from Capcom. It boasts the "largest roster of playable characters" ever in the series, with three other characters joining Nero and Dante's return.
Vergil, Trish and Lady each have their own distinct playstyles in the Special Edition. This new trailer features gameplay of all five in action. This re-release is out by the end of next month.
Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition reportedly on its way to PC this June, introduces three new playable characters
Capcom revealed that Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition was on the way to next-gen consoles in December last year, but they were pretty coy on the details.
Some fresh information has now surfaced courtesy of Japanese gaming blog Esuteru (thanks, NeoGAF), suggesting that a PC version is on the way this June, and revealing three new playable characters.
Resident Evil 6 PC preorders get Resident Evil 5 + DLC as bonus
Capcom has announced that gamers who preorder the PC version of Resident Evil 6 will get Resident Evil 5 and its DLC for free.
Capcom revises down DmC: Devil May Cry sales by 800k
The initial target for sales had been 2 million units for Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry by the end of this fiscal year for Capcom, but that looks most unlikely as the publisher drops it to 1.2 million.
So far around one million has been shipped. Despite receiving a top spot in charts, DmC has failed to at least match sales figures for Devil May Cry 4 at launch, achieving just a third in the UK.
Platinum: "Enormous amount" of people 'don't guarantee a good game'
Bayonetta's Hideki Kamiya from Platinum Games has said how big teams working a project don't mean things will turn out great. He cited the big number of devs on Capcom's Devil May Cry 4.
"Didn't help them, did it?" said Kamiya-san. The Platinum co-founder previously worked at Capcom on some of their big franchises like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe.

I am Ann,aged 42.
My last delivery was in 2000 June and it was a normal one. Now I am planning to go for a second kid.
What are the changes of me having a normal delivery this time. I am asking this question because there is a long gap after my first delivery and now I am aged forty plus. Do you advise a water delivery this time considering my age?

I would absolutely encourage you to plan for a water birth this time around. Water births are WONDERFUL for both baby and mum.
I would also encourage you to start interviewing midwives in your area. I interviewed my midwife 2 years before my first baby was born. By the time I got pregnant, I had chosen my midwife and felt very confident with her. She also answered all my questions and did any checks that my Gynecologist would have done. Once I had a midwife, I only wanted to use a midwife for all of my "female" needs. She was also very knowledgeable about breastfeeding and came to my home after the baby was born to check on me. A wonderful experience.
You can also have a water birth in some hospitals, and sometimes you can find a midwife who will deliver your baby in the hospital, but I'd definitely consider a home birth first.
Warm regards,

Report of the U.S. Delegate, 33rd Session, Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses
November 14–18, 2011
Bad Soden am Taunus, Germany
This Committee meeting was held at the kind invitation of the Government of Germany. The session was chaired by Dr. Pia Noble, Head of the Division of Specific Foods, Food Supplements and Food Additives, Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. Two hundred and sixty-nine delegates attended, representing 69 member countries, one member organization, and 33 international organizations. In addition, two physical working groups (PWG) met on November 12 to discuss: 1) the Proposed Draft Revision of the Guidelines on Formulated Supplementary Foods for Older Infants and Young Children, and 2) the Proposed Draft Revision of the Codex General Principles for the Addition of Essential Nutrients to Foods.
The United States was represented by the U.S. Delegate, Dr. Barbara Schneeman, FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition; the U.S. Alternate Delegate, Dr. Allison Yates, USDA Agricultural Research Service; five government advisors, and six non-government advisors.
It was a productive meeting with two documents advanced to the Codex Alimentarius Commission for adoption at Step 5/8 and Step 5. Specifically, the Committee agreed to:
- Advance to the 35th CAC Session:
- Proposed draft Nutrient Reference Values for labelling purposes (NRVs) for saturated fatty acids and sodium for adoption at Step 5/8 that relate to the Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health; and
- Proposed Draft Guidelines on Formulated Complementary Foods for Older Infants and Young Children at Step 5.
- Continue to consider at Step 3 with the establishment of electronic working groups (eWGs) to facilitate progress:
- Bracketed text in one section of a draft annex to the Codex Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling (CAC/GL 2-1985) on general principles for establishing NRVs for nutrients associated with risk of diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NRVs-NCD), with new tasks to consider 1) potential consolidation of this Annex with the Annex on general principles for establishing vitamin and mineral NRVs, and 2) the need for additional NRVs-NCD and/or related new work;
- Proposed draft additional or revised vitamin and mineral NRVs for inclusion in the Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling;
- Proposed draft revised general principles for the addition of essential nutrients to foods (CAC/GL 9-1987), and
- Proposed draft amendment of the Codex Standard for Processed Cereal-Based Foods for Infants and Young Children (Codex STAN 074-1981) to include a new part B for underweight children.
- Continue to consider a discussion paper at the next CCNFSDU session with regard to proposing new work to revise the Codex Standard for Follow-Up Formula (CODEX STAN 156-1987).
Below is a summary of the discussion at this meeting. The full report of the 33rd CCNFSDU session can be found in REP12/NFSDU on the Codex Web Site, www.codexalimentarius.org.
Matters Arising from Other Codex Committees
32nd (2011) Session of the Codex Committee on Methods, Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS)
At its last Session, the CCMAS agreed to establish an eWG led by the United Kingdom to consider the elaboration of a decision tree to facilitate analysts' selection of available methods for dietary fibre to consider at its next session.
The United States expressed interest in the CCNFSDU being kept informed about this work and asked whether the Committee also will have an opportunity to comment. The Chair indicated that the CCNFSDU will be kept informed.
43rd (2011) Session of the Codex Committee on Food Additives
Food additive provisions in the Standard for Infant Formulas and Formula for Special Medical Purposes. The CCFA forwarded comments on food additive provisions in the Standard for Infant Formulas and Formula for Special Medical Purposes for Infants. Taking these comments into account, the Committee agreed to forward sodium phosphates and potassium phosphates to CCFA for endorsement for use as acidity regulators. The Committee also agreed that Switzerland would redraft the list of additives included in Annex II of the Discussion Paper on Food Additive Provisions in the Standard for Infant Formulas and Formula for Special Medical Purposes (CODEX STAN 72- 1981) (CX/FA 11/43/5) for consideration at the next session.
Carry-over of food additives into foods. The CCFA forwarded a question concerning the application of the carry-over of food additives in foods in categories 13.1 and 13.2 of the General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA). The Committee confirmed that the carry-over was applied consistently with Section 4.3 of the GSFA. The Committee also agreed to replace the text in the current sections on carry-over in the Standard for Follow-up Formula and the Standard for Canned Baby Foods to ensure consistency in the additive provisions in all of the standards for foods for infants and young children.
39th (2011) Session of the Codex Committee on Food Labelling
Definition of "Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs)." At its last session, the CCFL referred to the CCNFSDU a draft definition of "Nutrient Reference Values" at Step 5 for comment. The CCNFSDU did not propose any amendments to the definition at this stage, but proposed to reconsider it after the principles for NRVs-NCD are finalized, including whether a reference to the general principles should be included with the definition.
Proposal for new work on the definition of trans-fatty acids. Malaysia informed the CCNFSDU that it wished to withdraw its proposal at the last CCFL session to undertake new work to review the definition of " trans fatty acids" in the Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling to take into consideration the origin of trans fatty acids. The Committee agreed that there was no need to revise the definition at this stage on this basis. In addition, Australia proposed that the Committee reconsider the exemption of conjugated linoleic acids from the Codex definition of " trans fatty acids". The Committee noted that this was a new issue and invited Australia to further elaborate on its proposal at the next session.
Matters of Interest from FAO AND WHO
A representative of the FAO reported that the organization is working on a new strategy for all its nutrition work which should be finalized in 2012. In addition, the representative identified some of its activities such as:
- Meetings on nutrition information and education for Latin American and Caribbean countries (December 2011) and on diet and activity assessment methods (May 2012);
- The development of a professional training program for nutrition education and communication in collaboration with the German Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Protection; and
- Food composition activities that address regional food composition tables, biodiversity, and improved data quality.
In responding to a question from the United States about the feasibility of joint FAO/WHO scientific advice on nutrition and what actions WHO has taken in this regard, the WHO representative responded that because of the WHO guideline review process, it was no longer possible to convene ad hoc expert consultations, and that discussions were ongoing with the FAO on the establishment of Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Nutrition (JEMNU).
In addition, the WHO representative provided updates on some of its activities such as:
- The current work of the WHO Nutrition Guidance Expert Advisory Group (NUGAG), and its subgroups on 1) micronutrients, 2) diet and health, 3) nutrition in the life course and undernutrition, and 4) monitoring and evaluation; and
- Other work related to this Committee and to the Global Strategy for Diet, Physical Activity and Health (e.g., development of a road map to implement the Political Declaration adopted at the September UN General Assembly high-level meeting on Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases; development of a comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition; and strategies to reduce and monitor population salt consumption.)
Proposed Draft Additional or Revised Nutrient Reference Values for Labelling Purposes in the Guidelines for Nutrition Labelling
At the 31st (2009) and 32nd (2010) CCNFSDU sessions, the Committee discussed proposed additional and revised NRVs for vitamins and minerals based on the application of general principles for establishing vitamin and mineral NRVs, and consideration of FAO/WHO values from a 1998 joint FAO/WHO expert consultation as a primary data source. Given that some delegations expressed interest in considering scientific updates regarding nutrient requirements for one or more of these nutrients, the Committee asked FAO and WHO to review existing daily vitamin and mineral intake reference values for 28 vitamins and minerals including sodium and potassium, and their basis, and to take into account the general principles for selection of suitable data sources. The organizations were also asked to estimate the percent of change in the scientific evidence base since 1998.
The WHO/FAO representatives presented the report of data gathered from 55 countries, and identified both uses and limitations of the data. Calcium, iron, riboflavin, Vitamin A and Vitamin C had the most values reported by countries. In addition, calcium, iron, zinc, sodium, potassium and Vitamin D were among the nutrients with the greatest number of peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts since 1998. The WHO representative also provided an update that a new WHO recommendation on potassium intake from the work of a NUGAG subgroup would be available in 2012.
The Republic of Korea suggested forming an eWG to consider the FAO/WHO report in proposing additional and revised NRVs; Australia offered to lead this effort. In the course of this work, the eWG will consider the data from countries that was compiled in a spreadsheet, and identify any issues that arise in applying the General Principles.
Proposed Draft Annex to the Codex Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling: General Principles for Establishing Nutrient Reference Values for Nutrients Associated with Risk of Diet-Related Noncommunicable Diseases (NRVs-NCD) for the General Population
The Committee recalled that it agreed at its last session to establish an eWG chaired by the U.S. and co-chaired by Thailand and Chile with one of the charges to revise the proposed draft general principles for establishing NRVs-NCD. A focus was on text still in brackets in Sections 3.1 (which pertains to strength of the scientific evidence for an NRV-NCD) and Section 3.4 (which pertains to consideration of daily intake values for upper levels). In addition, options for revised text in other sections were considered as a result of comments received in response to a Codex Circular letter. The United States introduced the draft revision of the general principles and identified additional issues raised in comments. These included the potential consolidation of this draft Annex with the Annex on the vitamin and mineral NRV principles, the potential for more than one NRV for certain nutrients, potential new work to review the protein NRV, and presentation of information on NRVs in the Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling.
The Committee reviewed the draft principles section by section. It reached agreement on edits to the Preamble, definitions pertaining to nutrient intake values (Sec. 2), edits to clarify language to the first bullet on criteria for selection of nutrients (3.1); selection of suitable data sources to establish NRVs-NCD (Sec. 3.2), selection of the appropriate basis for determining and expressing NRVs-NCD (Sec. 3.3), and consideration of daily intake values for upper levels (Sec. 3.4).
Although much progress was made on these general principles, the Committee was unable to reach agreement on whether "probable" evidence should be considered in addition to "convincing" evidence in the establishment of Codex NRVs-NCD, and on how these levels of evidence would be defined. Consequently, two options for text were left in brackets in the first bullet of Section 3.1 for the Committee to further consider. The Committee agreed to establish an eWG chaired by the United States and co-chaired by Thailand and Chile to work in English and Spanish to prepare a revised document for the next session. As part of this work, the eWG will focus on text left in brackets in Section 3.1, and propose a consolidation of the two Annexes on general principles for establishing NRVs for the general population. In addition, the eWG will address additional issues raised in comments including whether more than one NRV can be set for certain nutrients, proposed amendments to Section 3.4.4 of the guidelines on Nutrition Labelling to refer to CCFL that relate to the listing of NRVs, and evaluation of interest in proposing new work to develop NRVs for total fat, available carbohydrate and protein based on considerations other than diet-related NCDs such as energy balance.
Proposed Draft NRVs-NCD
A second charge to the eWG was to propose NRVs-NCD for saturated fatty acids and sodium based on the draft general principles. Consistent with a principle that relevant daily intake values provided by FAO/WHO should be considered as primary sources in establishing NRVs-NCD, the eWG considered recommendations in two joint FAO/WHO expert consultation reports: 1) for saturated fatty acids—the report of the 2008 joint FAO/WHO expert consultation on fats and fatty acids in human nutrition (FAO Food and Nutrition Paper 91) , and 2) for sodium—the report of the 2002 FAO/WHO expert consultation on diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases (WHO Technical Report Series 916).
Thailand, as an eWG co-chair, informed the Committee that the working group concluded that an NRV-NCD should be established taking into consideration the draft principles, and had proposed 10% energy from saturated fatty acids as a basis for an NRV-NCD and 22 g (or 20 g if rounded) as the NRV-NCD based on the reference daily intake 8370 kJ/2000 kcal. Many delegations supported the value of 20 g as an NRV-NCD for saturated fatty acids. The Committee agreed to advance the proposed value of 20 g for saturated fatty acids to Step 5/8 for adoption by the CAC.
Chile, as the other eWG co-chair, informed the Committee that the working group concluded that an NRV-NCD should be established for sodium taking into consideration the draft principles, and had proposed 2000 mg. The Committee generally supported the outcome of the eWG and the level proposed, and agreed to advance the proposed value of 2000 mg for sodium to Step 5/8 for adoption by the CAC.
With regard to potential NRVs-NCD for other nutrients, the Committee agreed that next year, the eWG would consider the need for one or more additional NRVs-NCD for other nutrients with a convincing level of scientific evidence.
Proposed Draft Revision of the Codex General Principles for the Addition of Essential Nutrients to Foods (CAC/GL 9-1987)
The Committee recalled that it had agreed at its last session to return the proposed draft revised general principles for redrafting by the electronic and physical working groups chaired by Canada and co-chaired by Mexico and New Zealand, and for circulation for comments at Step 3.
Canada, as chair of the working group, introduced CRD 2, the report of the pWG, and informed the Committee that the pWG had considered the structure of the document, purposes of each section and individual principles but had not discussed in detail the wording of the principles. Additional points that were raised included consideration of having separate general/overarching principles and guidance factors and additional principles specific to a particular type of nutrient addition.
Given that the Committee could not consider the document due to time constraints, it agreed to return the proposed draft revision for redrafting by an eWG chaired by Canada and co-chaired by New Zealand for consideration at the next session. The terms of reference for the eWG includes, among other things, obtaining agreement on the structure of the document, considering both headings and subheadings; obtaining agreement on which principles in sections 3 to 7 of CAC/GL 9-1987 are of general applicability or are additional principles for specific types of additions; and which principle could be considered guidance factors rather than principles. The eWG was also asked to consider which definitions are required, and the level of demonstration of public health need required to support mandatory versus voluntary addition of essential nutrients.
Proposed Draft Revision of the Guidelines on Formulated Supplementary Foods for Older Infants and Young Children (CAC/GL 08-1991)
The Committee recalled that at the last session, it had agreed to return the Proposed Draft Guidelines for redrafting by an eWG chaired by Ghana and to establish a pWG chaired by Ghana and co-chaired by the United States to meet immediately before the current session. The Delegation of Ghana introduced the report from the electronic and physical working groups (CRD 1). The Committee made further revisions to the draft guidelines; however, it was not possible to consider the Annex in the time available and the Committee agreed to consider the Annex at its next session. The Committee agreed to advance the Proposed Draft Revised Guidelines to Step 5 for adoption by the 35th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
Proposed Draft Amendment of the Standard for Processed Cereal-Based Foods for Infants and Young Children (CODEX STAN 74-1981) to Include a New Part B for Underweight Children
The Committee recalled that its last session had agreed to ask the 34th Session of the Commission to approve new work on the inclusion of a new Part B for Underweight Children in the Standard for Processed Cereal-Based Foods for Infants and Young Children (CODEX STAN 74-1981) and to establish an eWG chaired by India to prepare a draft new Part B of the standard for circulation at Step 3 and consideration at its next Session. The Delegation of India introduced the report of the eWG (CX/NFSDU 11/33/9). Due to time constraints, the Committee could not consider the document and returned the proposed draft amendment for redrafting by an eWG chaired by India to be circulated for comments at Step 3 and considered at the next Session.
Proposal to Review the Codex Standard for Follow-Up Formula (CODEX STAN 156-1987)
The Committee recalled that at its last session, it had supported the proposal of the Delegation of New Zealand to prepare a discussion paper for the Committee to consider the revision of this standard. The Delegation of New Zealand introduced the discussion paper (CX/NFSDU 11/33/10). Because the Committee did not have time to discuss the proposal, it agreed to consider the matter at its next Session.
Other Business and Future Work
No new business or future work was proposed at this session.
Date and Place of the Next CCNFSDU Session
The 34th Session of the CCNFSDU will take place from December 3 to 7, 2012 in Germany (with the exact location to be announced later).

Are you a fool?
Mark Shuttleworth thinks you're a fool. It's up to you whether you prove him right or prove him wrong.
Yesterday, C|Net posted a story about how Ubuntu Touch OS has found its first smartphone partner, complete with a photo of a fully bearded (about time) Mark Shuttleworth beaming from ear to ear.
Fantastic. Which carrier/partner/vendor would this be so I can line up and get the hardware? From the article: "He wouldn't say which company has agreed to use the Linux-based OS, but said it will be offered on high-end phones in 2014."
Oh. He won't say. OK. This, of course, would elicit from the most skeptical of us this simple demand: "Partner, or it didn't happen."
It goes without saying that we've heard this before — grand announcements from Canonical which are only that and nothing more. A huge fanfare at CES in 2012 for Ubuntu TV and nearly two years later, just in time for next year's CES, it's not here yet. Two more words: Ubuntu Edge.
And with every grand announcement from a self-appointed leader in the FOSS world, you have to ask yourself how this plays to the wider world outside the Open Source paradigm. If — as some people claim — Canonical/Ubuntu is the "leader" of Linux promotion to the wider public while consistently failing miserably in producing on the projects it proposes, what are folks left to think? One takeaway is that FOSS is a failure because Canonical/Ubuntu can't or won't deliver.
Shattering credibility, in large part, is Canonical's profound "contribution" to Linux and FOSS as of late.
Speaking personally, I'll just pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday, and I'll get on my knees and pray . . . .
What will it be? Are you a fool?
See you Sunday, if not sooner.

Czech and Slovak research can leave you tongue-tied: You might
encounter up to a half-dozen languages, including your ancestors'
native Czech or Slovak. Though these closely related West Slavic
tongues use the Roman alphabet, their unfamiliar consonant combinations
and accent marks can trip up unsuspecting researchers.
The Roman Catholic influence means you'll also find records in
Latin; some Greek Catholic church records are in Old Church Slavonic,
which uses the Cyrillic alphabet (see <www.volgawriter.com/VW%20Cyrillic.htm>).
Since Austria controlled Bohemia and Moravia, Czech records may appear
in German (usually in a script called Kurrent). Likewise, you'll
stumble upon Slovak records written in Hungarian. Consult online and

Memory allocators
Several Crystal Space utility classes take optional memory allocators (e.g.
csArray<>). This allows clients to customize the memory allocation strategy used in a particular case.
For example, if you know that an array has a size below a certain threshold most of the time, you could utilize a LocalBufferAllocator<> which return memory from a fast local buffer, if possible - this is faster than using the heap.
As another example, when memory allocations follow a pattern where long-lived allocations are mixed with very short-lived allocations, heap fragmentation can occur when the short-lived allocations are freed. In that case it's beneficial to use a separate heap for the short-lived allocations; specific objects can use that heap via the allocator customization.
Allocators must obey the following methods and their semantics:
void* Alloc(const size_t n)allocates n bytes of memory. Returns 0 if allocation fails.
void Free (void* p)frees the pointer p. For debugging purposes it's usually a good idea to throw an assertion when p is invalid for an allocator.
void* Realloc (void* p, size_t newSize)"resizes" the block at p to have a size of newSize bytes. If p is 0 then the call should have the same effect as an Alloc() with the specified size. Be aware that the returned pointer may be different from p! Also, if the reallocation fails, 0 is returned - however, the original memory block is still valid!
void SetMemTrackerInfo (const char* info)is a debugging aid. If the allocator does memory tracking, some users will call this method to set a description of themselves which is displayed to allow easy identification of what object allocated how much memory. Implementation of this method is entirely optional and can be safely stubbed out.

Lakewood fire claims man well-known in community
(Lakewood) - A man killed Monday in a Lakewood fire was well-known in the community.
53-year-old Bob Toomey had one arm and was frequently seen riding his bicycle. Lakewood Fire Chief Scot Gilman confirmed Toomey's identity, but said the cause of death was pending today's autopsy.
The fire broke out around 6:30 AM Monday morning at 2134 Atkins Ave. and was quickly brought under control.
It was contained to one corner of a bedroom in the back of the house.
Gilman tells The Lakewood Patch there was a working smoke detector, but the battery was disconnected.
The cause of the fire is also under investigation.
