Not sure why this is happening; the only thing I can think of that you may not be using the latest uninstaller?
Download: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Can you post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file (from C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash) from one of the failed uninstalls?
2. Re: Cannot uninstall Adobe Flash Player 11 Active XWMB-mdillon Apr 5, 2012 6:25 AM (in response to pwillener)
OK. I made some sort of progress, but need to figure out a better solution.
I found that when I deleted the registry key HKCR\Installer\Products\{03797D32A1CEE534388FAABEEF25730B} the Control Panel icon disapeared and I was able to run my Adobe Flash Player Install script successfully.
The problem now is that the script command I wrote did not work and I had to manually delete the key.
This is what I tried:
REG DELETE "HKCR\Installer\Products\{03797D32A1CEE534388FAABEEF25730B}" /f
Once I manually deleted that key, I was able to reinstall Flash. Unfortunately, i no longer have a test machine to try solutions on so I will need to find another broken Flash install
and figure out how to get my script to delete the key listed above.
To answer your questions - I am using the latest uninstaller and when I find another broke Flash install, I will post the FlashInstall.log.
3. Re: Cannot uninstall Adobe Flash Player 11 Active Xchris.campbell Apr 5, 2012 11:16 AM (in response to WMB-mdillon)
I'll forward this to our installer team, but as pat mentioned we'll need a FlashInstall.log from one of the affected systems.
Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?
4. Re: Cannot uninstall Adobe Flash Player 11 Active XWMB-mdillon Apr 5, 2012 11:20 AM (in response to chris.campbell)
Possible Solution:
I fixed the syntax of the script to read:
REG DELETE HKCR\Installer\Products\03797D32A1CEE534388FAABEEF25730B /f
I ran the script on a broke PC and it worked. I need to test another using full script which uninstalls and then reinstalls.

En route to Chicago for Memorial Day
weekend, I grabbed a copy of June's Food & Wine from the airport bookshop, because this is what I do. And while thumbing though Food & Wine, I landed on a small feature called "Where to Find America's Best Biscuits," and noticed happily that our very own Maple Street Biscuit Company (410 N. Third St., Jax Beach and 2004 San Marco Blvd.) was featured alongside noteworthy spots in the Big Apple, Asheville, Portland and — hey, what do you know? — Chicago. Touted as sour cream-based biscuits that are baked hourly, Chicago's Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits was quickly added to my must-eat trip list — along with tacos at Big Star, anything and everything at Girl & the Goat, dessert at Mindy's Hot Chocolate, deep dish pizza at Pequod's and Asian fusion at Sunda.
As I waited in line for Bang Bang to open Sunday morning, the smell of butter wafted through the air. Inside, Bang Bang is small, with large windows, brick walls and an open kitchen, with seating for only about 10. A spacious backyard courtyard with two rows of white picnic tables offers another 40 seats. The spot feels rural and charming, a relaxed vibe for your pending calorie-bender.
While noshing on the Bacon Biscuit, I had a thought: What if I pitted these two caloric champions, Bang Bang and Maple Street, against each other? How would our local fare compare to that of the Windy City, a place with (supposedly) a much richer foodie culture?
In this corner was my Maple Street go-to, the Garden Egg, made with butter only — no lard — and served stacked with collard greens, a fried egg and a drizzle of hot sauce. In the other corner was Bang Bang's Bacon Biscuit, served open-face with thick strips of candied Applewood smoked bacon, collard greens, homemade Fresno chili hot sauce and a sunny-side-up poached egg — noticeably larger and much denser (perhaps from the sour cream?) than Maple Street's Southern-style biscuit.
Let's get it on.
Maple Street (MS) vs. Bang Bang (BB)
MS: The Garden Egg ($5)
BB: Bacon ($7)
Advantage: Maple Street
Round 1: Description
MS: Flaky biscuit, fried egg, collard greens, splashed with hot sauce
BB: Biscuit, candied bacon, collard greens, hot sauce, sunny-side-up egg
Advantage: Tie
Round 2: Biscuit
MS: Flaky, buttery, light, fluffy, smallish. Slightly golden exterior.
BB: Dense, tender substantial, big. Slightly browned exterior crust.
Advantage: Maple Street
Round 3: Collards
MS: Flavorful, smoky, pieces of pork.
BB: Overpowered by the candied bacon.
Advantage: Maple Street
Round 4: The Egg
MS: Fried, with a runny yolk that drips down the sides of the collards and biscuit.
BB: Artfully presented, needs to be runnier.
Advantage: Maple Street
Round 5: Bacon
BB: Abundant, thick, sweet, smoky.
Advantage: Bang Bang
Round 6: Atmosphere
MS: Casual, comfortable, open, rustic.
BB: Rustic, open, large outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas around back.
Advantage: Bang Bang
WINNER: Maple Street
As an entire package — the biscuit and its accoutrements — Maple Street was, to my mind, a clear winner. I enjoyed Bang Bang, but it just didn't have the same wow factor as our local heroes.

Mushtari: wear a microbial factoryJuly 15th, 2015
Front view of Mushtari filled with chemiluminescent fluid. Image: Paula Aguilera and Jonathan Williams.
How can we design relationships between the most primitive and sophisticated life forms? Can we design wearables embedded with synthetic microorganisms that can enhance and augment biological functionality? Meet Mushtari, a 3D-printed wearable designed as a 58 meter long microbial factory that uses synthetic biology to convert sunlight into useful products for humans and microbes.
Mushtari is created par William Patrick, Sunanda Sharma and Steven Keating, from the Mediated Matter group at MIT Media Lab en collaboration avec Stratasys.
They explored these questions through the creation of Mushtari, a 3D printed wearable with 58 meters of internal fluid channels. The wearable is designed to function as a microbial factory that uses synthetic biology to convert sunlight into useful products for the wearer.

X-Ring Newsletter
Technical Newsletter From Your Ballistic TechniciansVolume 11, Issue 1
| Q. What is the proper method of pressure detection in working up loads to the manual max loads? I don't want to overstress anything.
By Rich Machholz
A. Your brass and primer are the keys to pressure detection. First watch the primer appearance. The primer face will gradually flatten and the edges will begin to lose the radius. About the time the radius becomes relatively square a ring around the firing pin indentation, called a crater, will appear in some rifles. Second is bolt lift. As the loads are worked up and the primer appearance is noted you will experience a slight resistance in bolt lift in the form of a hitch about halfway in the full lift stroke of the bolt handle. If you are using matched weight cases you will feel this on the first case and usually the rest as well but not necessarily always. The next increment will certainly give you a hitch in the bolt lift on all the cases however and it is time to quit. That hitch is the result of brass flowing into the ejector plunger hole in the bolt face and is visible as a bright burnish mark on the case head in the headstamp. One last item, incremental load increases, I use 1% of the total case capacity for that powder. A good for instance is the 223; it will hold approximately 30 grains of H335. The proper incremental increase would be 0.3 (3/10ths of a grain). So if you were using a 55 grain BlitzKing bullet a good starting charge would be 25.0 increasing by 0.3 of a grain, so your loading block would have at least three cases with charges of 25.0, 25.3, 25.6, 25.9, 26.2, 26.5, 26.8 and 27.1 grains, a minimum of 24 shots. By using increments of this size you get uniform results that are predictable and safe, as long as you pay attention to the symptoms.
| Q. In general heavier bullets for the caliber have a higher BC so they will have less drag and buck the wind better. However lighter bullets for the caliber have a better trajectory. How do you decide which way to go? Is it different for target and for hunting?
A. If you have access to an exterior ballistic program such as our Infinity you can plot the trajectories and wind drift to the point one surpasses the other and make a decision based upon those findings. Lacking that keep in mind that flat trajectory is important over unknown distances but wind will affect you more than drop. For long range prairie dogs I like a 50 grain bullet as fast as I can get it or a 55 grain BlitzKing with the high BC. These are for 22s of course. I have found that I can make either system work because 22s are effective under most circumstances to moderate ranges of 350 to 450 yards. Really long ranges or strong winds mean high BCs which usually means bigger bullets and the longer the range the bigger the bullets and the higher the BC. A high BC will have a greater effect on wind drift than drop which most shooters have overlooked so be sure to look into this very important facet of shooting. We can determine the distance with a range finder or a scope reticle but wind velocity is still an unknown and very hard to ascertain even for the most seasoned of shooters.
| Things that work
During the course of the shooting season I get the opportunity to try all types of tools and gadgets. Some work and some don't. Here are a few that worked for me.
| Leupold ScopeSmith Magnetic Boresighter
By Rich Machholz
I got acquainted with this nifty piece of equipment at the Varmint Hunters Jamboree last year. I needed to change scopes on my stock rifle entry but didn't want to go through the hassle of re-zeroing the day of the match. A friend had one of these tools and said it all but eliminated the normal problems of a re-zero. My previous experiences with bore sighters have been less than good so to say I was skeptical would be a true understatement. He attached the magnetic ScopeSmith to the muzzle of the Ruger 77 and instructed me to make a careful note of the location of the crosshairs of the original scope before we removed it knowing it was carefully zeroed. I looked at the muzzle and the Boresighter was on crooked. When I protested he said it wouldn't affect the outcome. I didn't believe him but I did as instructed and removed the old scope and installed the new scope and rings, being careful to have both centered. Then I removed the turret caps and adjusted the new scope to the same settings according to the carefully recorded sight picture previously noted as provided by the ScopeSmith and headed for the shooting bench. I was going to shoot at 100 yard paper but my friend steered me to the regular line. I hit the 107 yard gong with the first shot a little high and right. After making the adjustment we moved to the 362 yard gong where I missed high at 1 o'clock by about 2 inches. One small correction resulted in a dead center direct hit on the second shot. I was zeroed at 362 yards in 3 shots. Unbelievable! I watched in amazement as he installed three other scopes in the same manner and the results were very nearly identical. I can attest to the fact that if you are replacing a scope there is not a more precise way to do it. Installation of a new scope with no reference may be considerably trickier and I haven't tried that yet but I have replaced several scopes since with equal efficiency. The key is to have the old scope zeroed as precisely as possible and make careful note of that zero on a copy of the grid furnished in the instructions. This piece will save its cost in ammo alone if you replace many scopes not to mention time. This is still no substitution for actual range time however so get your shots down range.
| Bore-Tech Eliminator Bore Solvent
By Rich Machholz
When the guys at Bore-Tech told me this product removed copper as well as any product on the market and had no odor. When they said it cleaned up with water I just knew this was one of those products that wasn't worth my time to even open. Out of courtesy I did open the bottle and there was no odor. I put some on a patch and pushed it through the bore and the patch emerged black as expected. I pushed another through and I came out with an aqua blue color. Nothing new there except it actually did change colors which I had doubted it would do. I knew from experience that normally if a bore solvent doesn't stink it probably doesn't work. Eliminator worked quickly. I pushed two wet patches through the bore and waited a few minutes, about three, and wet a nylon brush and gave the bore 10 strokes leaving the brush protruding from the muzzle on the tenth stroke. I replenished the chemical at the muzzle and gave the bore 10 more strokes and withdrew the brush and waited another three minutes or so. I pushed a clean patch through and it was gray from carbon and blue from copper. I pushed a new patch through and all I got was some bright blue. I wet another patch and pushed it through and followed it with another wet patch and waited another three minutes and pushed another dry patch through. No color and I decided the barrel was clean. I pushed another couple of dry patches through the bore and went to the line. My first shot was on target and I chased it to fine tune my zero and followed it up with another which went in the same spot. I didn't have to fire any foulers and went directly to record and that day I shot a 6.569" group at 1000 yards with only 4 sight-in shots. Just the fact that there is no odor and it doesn't affect my skin is excellent. That it actually removes copper quickly and thoroughly makes it eligible for "the things that work" page.
| Sierra Announces Four New Bullets for 2004
#5350 .50 caliber, 350 grain JHP
#5400 .50 caliber, 400 grain JSP
Sierra Bullets is proud to announce the addition of 2 new bullets to its extensive line of hunting and target bullets. These new heavy duty bullets are designed for use in the powerful new .500 S&W cartridge. These bullets sport an extremely tough, heavy jacket for deep penetration and a cannelure to reduce bullet movement during recoil. The jacket has six skives to aid uniformed expansion. Manufactured to Sierras' strict tolerances' and packaged in boxes of 50, Sierra #5350 is a 350 grain JHP (Jacketed Hollow Point) and Sierra #5400 is a 400 grain JSP (Jacketed Soft Point). For large game where deep penetration is required, the #5400 will be an excellent choice. For more expansion and less penetration, the #5350 will be a great choice. As always with Sierra bullets, accuracy with both bullets is outstanding.
Suggested retail pricing for #5350, 50 caliber, 350 grain bullet is $22.92 per box of 50 bullets, and for the #5400, 400 grain JSP bullet, $23.84 per box of 50 bullets.
| #1395 .22 Caliber, 65 grain SBT GameKing
Sierra Bullets announces a .22 caliber bullet designed specifically for varmints and game up to deer. This new bullet is best suited for 1x10" or faster twists. The new Sierra 65 grain GameKing bullet is a superb bullet for deer-sized game in the .224" bore diameter. The classic aerodynamic Sierra Boattail shape is crafted from carefully selected and alloyed components to yield dependable bullet performance for all game up to deer.
The stock number for the new .22 caliber GameKing is #1395 and is has a suggested retail price of $14.79 per box of 100 bullets. When bullet placement is important Sierra is the logical choice.
| 7mm/ .284" dia., 175 grain HPBT MatchKing (#1975)
The Bulletsmiths are pleased to announce our new 7mm 175 grain MatchKing. Prompted by the phenomenal success of our record setting 6.5mm 142 grain MatchKing, this new .284" diameter projectile utilizes the same refined design characteristics to enhance its long-range performance. With a longer ogive, smaller meplat and improved boat tail, the 175 grain MK provides improved downrange energy and accuracy, while reducing wind-drift compared to the old standard, our venerable 168 grain MatchKing. Designed for Rifle Silhouette competition, this bullet will be equally at home in HighPower and Long Range events as well.
This new HPBT MatchKing bullet has a suggested retail price of $24.28 per box of 100 bullet.

George Calef of Canada took this huge bull caribou and this Dall's sheep, each with one shot at a little over 100 yards wit the Sierra 7mm 150 grain SBT GameKing in his 7x57 Ackley Improved. Recovered bullets are also shown.
Geoffrey Miller, Managing Director of the John Rigby & Company in California recovered these three .30 caliber, 150 grain SBT GameKings from game at ranges from 160 to 381 yards in a .308 Winchester and a .300 H&H Magnum. Geoffrey reports shooting his 500,000 Sierra bullet in 73 barrels. "In today's era of ever complex super premium bullet nonsense, I have found nothing as accurate and as devastating on game as a Sierra of the proper weight and caliber for the game at hand. All of the small caliber (.375 and under) rifles we make for clients and the demo guns we use are all regulated and zeroed with Sierras.

forget it, go somewhere less expensive. I'm surprised you're even thinking you can afford anything with a $1,500 budget. Unless you ship yourself UPS, and live in the box you were packaged in for your days in Japan. I hope you booked a round-trip ticket in that $1,200 you spent, otherwise you're going to have to swim back home

Beware the price of transportation, I think the ride from Narita airport to your hotel might easily cost you around 100$.
Beside, but that's just personal opinion, I think you've got so much more things to see in Kyoto (splendid temples and gardens) that it's a shame to go to Japan to visit only Tokyo. .

Take a look at the "Visit Japan" thread in General Chat, and there were several on anime-related visits earlier. Do not take a taxi from Narita to Tokyo; it'll run you several hundred dollars, and there goes your budget. Take either the subway or the limo bus instead, with the second costing approx. Y3000 or so.
As for hotel, there are cheaper places that are not listed in expedia.com, but rather in the travel guides like "Time Out", "Frommers" and such. Use one of those for your budget instead will make your budget last longer.
To be totally honest, though, US$1500 will not last you very long, though, but it should be doable provided you don't go crazy.

Yeah, I don't plan on going crazy, besides this isn't real so I can lie a little bit about some prices or just say I looked at the sights and bought very few things.
If I could, I think it'd be cool to visit some japanese video game companies I like, like: Capcom, Konami, Sonic Team, and SquareEnix(just to name a few). I really have no idea if they'd let me in the doors or not, but like I said I "can" lie a alittle and say I talked to the guy that created Rockman(Capcom character) or something.
IRL, i'm not interested at all at seeing any temples, so I'm cool with that.

tokyo is over-westernized. becasue of this, the only difference in tokyo and new york is the language(which is slowly picking up english phrases). if anyone goes, you need to visit a small country town where the culture is still existant.

I have yet to hear of any company, video game or otherwise, offering tours of their facilities to anyone other than prospective job candidates, so dropping in unannounced - or saying that you'll get a tour - might raise a few eyebrows during your presentation. You might be able to get tours of TV studios, though, but not free.
I believe that in the Sony building in the Ginza area, there are displays of games and consoles that you can try out. Can't take them with you, naturally...

ummm... what else can you do?... i've never been to Japan but i would definitely want to visit someday. There are tons of castles and parks that are national landmarks in Japan. Maybe a japanese museum?...
I would also eat the the local cuisine... look for small restaurants... hhmmm sushi...

There is a possibility.
1) Take budget flights instead of direct flights. You see more while paying less.
2) Try to visit places where you have a friend staying so you can save up on hotel fees.
3) Buy a weekly pass for unlimited rides on the rail.
4) Decide a budget and by hook or by crook stay with it.
5) Visit the rural areas, they are about 60 percent cheaper than going to shinjuku areas. Some temples also allow lodging for a pittance. The people are also more friendlier and not always in a rush.

I would recommend using this map to plan to move on into central Tokyo:
Catch the Narex into Tokyo (about a 60 min trip). From there you are a short trip to anywhere in the centre of Tokyo, a lot of culture hidden away and lots of anime/manga/game areas of interest.

I've switched places, I'm doing an easier place for my Powerpoint project. Now I got Honolulu Hawaii(has really no anime/gaming places, but this isn't why I would want to go here anyways. I'll go for the sun, beach, helicopter tours, etc.)

I managed a one month stay in japan for apx 2000 US. Yes I am amazing at low cost travel. of course I know people that live in japan, so I only had to stay for 3 nights in a hotell. I ended up at daynice hotell in tokyo. I am not sure about the hilton for narita airport, but narita itself is a long ways from any thing in tokyo.
As far as anime and games go you could just mention going to 500000 video and game stores in shinjuku. Personal on that budge you are going to learn how to aviod spending $. I would not recomend picking up anything, just memories. . . yea that is perty much all I got, and a 2 sets of chopsticks at a ¥99 store.
Most of the $ I had left over from basic airfare, hotel, and food went into travel. I spent several hundered getting arround japan, and I only took a cab once, as town I was in at the time had not other options to get from the train station to my friends place.
If you want to keep to that budget and be some what realistic, I would simply talk about the places you walked arround at, and what you saw, who you talked to. be sure to talk about the 5 japanese girls you met that were going out to a rave, but ended up back at your hotell room for all 3 days (Hey if you are making it all up, might as well make it good)

As for directions, there aren't very many - that I've found - street signs in the city. The streets are rather confusing, and unless you have the direction instincts of a homing pigeon ( ), you're better off getting a guidebook (or more than one!) and work from it.
The fact that building addresses are not assigned in sequential order doesn't help much either...

advice on gifts for a japanese host family
hi. i am leaving for a 2 week exhange program in japan tomorrow. i ended up getting my host mother 2 Bath and Body Works body washes by accident. would body wash be offensive? because i don't wan't to imply that she is a smelly person or anything.
do i have to gift wrap the presents, or can i leave them in gift bags or something?
and also, what would be the phrase to say when i am giving them their gifts?
oh yes, how do i say something along the lines of "i am really excited (to meet you)" and also "i'm nervous."
if you have any other suggestions, please give them!

Umm, I think you should get them something they could not easily find over in Japan. If someone from Japan was coming to stay with you, wouldn't you be more excited over them bringing manga, anime, Pocky, etc. over an English novel or something?
I do think you should gift wrap it, but I"m not sure. My memory about Japanese gift-exchange is hazy. As for your translations, I'm honestly not entirely too sure but "Tokidoki desu." might fit the bill for both. (tokidoki is the Japanese onamonopeia for fast-paced heart beating). Get a second opinion on that one though, because I'm sure there's a more appropriate prhase that I'm unaware of.
Enjoy your stay in Japan you lucky dog!

means "I have a small present for you."
It literally means "Its a trivial thing, but please accept."
"Hajime mashite" means "Nice to meet you."
It literally means "This is the first time (to meet you)."
"Oai dekite ureshii desu" means "I am glad to meet you."
...and more
'Totemo/Sugoku' means 'so' or 'very'.
'Tokidoki' is 'sometimes'.

Geneva, Switzerland, July 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, today announced that it has added to its available JANS / JANSR1 products a range of DLA (Defense Logistics Agency)-qualified JANSR bipolar transistors with additional up-screening at the recent Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) in Paris. Best-in-class radiation hardness makes ST's new transistors ideal for aerospace and Hi-Rel systems, including satellites, as well as nuclear physics and medical applications.
ST has supported European aerospace applications since 1977, having been qualified by the European Space Agency since the Agency's inception. It continues to lead the performance enhancement of rad-hard products, as demonstrated with the current launch.
Today, ST is bringing into the JANS system the innovation released last year within the ESCC (European Space Components Coordination) program. Called JANSR+, the innovation consists of a series of 100krad JANSR high-dose-rate bipolar transistors with an additional 100krad low-dose-rate (100 mrad/s) test performed on each wafer. Furthermore, ST has announced it will complete its JANSR+ offer with data from very-low-dose-rate (10 mrad/s) tests, demonstrating the outstanding robustness to radiation effect of its technology.
As a result, ST's JANSR+ series gives access to products with superior performance in radiative environments, with complete test data to support the claim. These products can be used without any up-screen cost and lead time, thus dramatically raising the bar in the industry.
"ST has been providing rad-hard bipolar transistors to the European aerospace industry for over 35 years and our products have accumulated hundreds of millions of flying hours," said Mario Aleo, Group VP and General Manager, Power Transistor Division, STMicroelectronics. "With the DLA qualification, we are bringing to our US customers the unrivaled performances through the best-in-class radiation hardness achieved with our specifically adjusted aerospace technology and design."
All parts are housed in advanced hermetic UB packages and are available in sample and volume quantities.
For more information please go to www.st.com/radhard-bipoltransistors-pr
Technical Notes:
(1) The effect of radiation on semiconductor devices depends on many factors. For bipolar transistors, the Total Dose (the higher the total dose, the higher the impact) and the dose rate (at a given Total Dose, the lower the dose rate the higher the impact) are the key factors. Low-dose-rate behavior is critical for satellites, because dose rate in space is very low (in the range of 10 mrad/s). However, the standard JANSR qualifications only deal with high dose rate, which is neither the worst case nor the condition the components typically have to endure in space.
Radiation-hardened or "rad hard" devices are tested in radiative environments as per Space Agency specification, so designers know the products can successfully sustain radiation, and they also know the performance they can expect after the devices have been irradiated. This achievement requires that the device be designed and fabricated with the specific goal of enduring the harshest space radiation environments. Absorbed radiation dose is measured in rads. ST delivers products with superior behavior in actual space conditions together with the data to support its claims.
(2) A documented whole-body dose of 10 krad is acknowledged as lethal. The JANSR specification guarantees the performance up to 100 krad.
(3) The JANSR+ low-dose-rate guarantee is supported by a test performed on 10-piece sets (5 biased and 5 unbiased) for each wafer. The Radiation Verification Test (RVT) report that comes with each JANSR+ product shipment provides the drift of the key parameters at 5 different radiation levels.
(4) ST's new rad-hard bi-polar transistors are available with maximum collector-emitter voltages up to 160V, maximum collector currents up to 5A, and forward current gains (hFE) up to 450.

Nancy Ascencio Neira lives with her husband, Galo, on their family farm in Manglaralto parish along Ecuadors Pacific coast. They have seven sons; two have moved to Guayaquil, the nearest big city. One is studying at the university in Guayaquil and the rest live at home. Galo only attended school through the 6th grade and Nancy never went. My parents said I was too pretty, and I would get married soon, she said.
Nancy and Galo wanted to give their children opportunities they didnt have. If we dont educate our children, then their life will be as difficult as ours, Galo said. However, sending their children to school was always difficult. I havent been able to educate all our children because we are a low-income family, he said.
In July 2010, they received 100 chickens as participants in a Heifer project. They later received two pigs, fruit trees, vegetable seeds and a backpack sprayer. Galo was excited to receive so many seeds because they wanted to diversify the plants and produce on their farm. Since we produce our own vegetables, we no longer have to buy and thats an additional income for us, Galo said. Plus, their farm is now 90 percent organic and their produce is healthier.
The chickens also made an immediate impact. Every two and a half months, they sell 100 chickens. After 15 months, they have earned more than $3,400. Some of the profit was used to buy raw materials for Nancys handicrafts, another source of income. She weaves baskets and makes jewelry to sell at a friends store, with part of these earnings saved for their childrens education. The benefits we derive from Heifer dont just help the adults, but also our children. Through this project we have been able to send our children to school, Galo said.
Nancy said, Education is very important, because in reality it is the only thing we have to give them. She hopes that her children wont stay in the city, but that they will be able to buy their own farms and have better lives. I hope my children wont abandon the land. I want to instill in them the idea that the countryside is good and that planting the land and caring for animals is also good, Galo said.
The couple has also been able to purchase geese, mules and horses from the income they earned selling chickens. The mules haul the familys produce to sell and helps move organic fertilizer and compost to the fields. Their horses are used by the agro-tourists that visit the area each year.
Besides boosting incomes, another long-term impact of this project is the changing role of women in the community. Nancy is no longer relegated to household chores; she helps with the farming, is a businesswoman and is president of Asociacion de Muejers Artesanas de dos Mangas, a local womens handicraft association. She provides us with additional income and a better economic standing, Galo said. Nancy enjoys being able to contribute to the family income. I have something to say when we make decisions about our money, she said.
Our community is now very conscious about living a better life, Galo said. Non-project community members are seeking advice from group members. Heifer is helping us and we are helping others, including our children, Nancy said.
Galo likes Heifers approach because it is a simple idea. He said the idea is to share and payback.

My Market
Our small supermarket is everything from a cornerstore to a fresh fruit and vegetable market. We aim to be a convenient, fun and fresh place that people can use for any groceries, snacks, roast chickens, cigarettes - you name it - for people in our neighbourhood. In other words, a one stop shop.
Everyday suburban people who want something convenient and reasonably priced. They want the lifestyle that goes hand in hand with fresh food and modern cuisine.
So the brand should appear fresh, modern, easy, fun, reasonably priced, accessible, breezy, but leaning towards a corporate look, not that of a corner store.
Our goal is to roll this out as a chain if this shop is successful, so we want something that looks every bit as solid as major competitors like Coles, Woolworths, IGA.
The Minimarket Logo is a starting point for ideas to extrapolate from, but the Woolworths one is also a great touchstone for how the idea of freshness and fresh food can be connected to the brand "W" really effectively.
Variations of the Minimarket logo or any other left-field takes that create the feel of this in a different way are welcome.
IDEALLY, something that fuses these 2 designs - the interconnected M's combined into some sort of "freshness" / "fresh food" symbol is likely to be the path to success.
Note: Just reminding, the Brand is "My Market" - don't do mini market by accident! :)

Garnett (1815-1882), a runaway, became a prominent abolitionist. He escaped from slavery in Maryland with his father in 1825. He later attended the African Free School in New York City and studied to become a minister at the Oneida Theological Institute. He then moved to Troy, New York, and in 1842 became the pastor of the town's only black Presbyterian Church. By the 1850s, he was among the nation's most prominent and outspoken abolitionists. He traveled to Germany, England, and Scotland, speaking against slavery. During the Civil War, he urged African Americans to serve in the Union Army. In 1865 he was the first African American to deliver a sermon before the United States House of Representatives. He later was appointed Minister to Liberia, where he died and was honored with a state funeral. He argued that freedom was not going to be given to blacks by sympathetic whites. "They are our allies," Garnett asserted "Ours is the Battle."

Homemade tortillas in 5 steps
Cinco de Mayo is Saturday! I'm counting down the days until this American celebration of all things Mexican by posting ideas and recipes every day.
Today's post is all about homemade tortillas. These are so easy and perfect for kids who want to help out in the kitchen.
These pictures will guide you through making tortillas. Easy peasy!
Step 1:
Mix water and PAN (white corn flour, NOT Masa which makes for harder tortillas) according to package directions.
Step 2:
Make dough into 1-inch balls and place at the center of your tortilla press that has been covered with plastic wrap on both sides (cutting boards will work too, but it's a little harder to get the tortillas as thin).
Step 3:
Press the tortilla ball until thin.
Step 4:
Bake the tortillas on a preheated cast iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet.
Step 5:
Keep the cooked tortillas in a tortilla warmer or a clean kitchen towel until you've worked your way through all of the dough.
Looking for more specific directions? No worries, check out my detailed post about making homemade tortillas at Wandering Educators.
Kids' reactions:
"Mom, we should have made more." That says it all.

The Ohio Supreme Court says a public school district was legally justified in firing a science teacher who refused orders to remove classroom displays of religious materials.
With three justices dissenting, the court ruled Tuesday that the Mount Vernon district had grounds to fire John Freshwater for insubordination for keeping religious books and a poster of a president praying.
The court's lead opinion says the district infringed on Freshwater's First Amendment rights by ordering the removal of his personal Bible but found he was insubordinate for keeping other items.
The court didn't address whether Freshwater unconstitutionally taught his religious beliefs.
Freshwater's attorney said she was disappointed but couldn't comment further because she hadn't discussed the decision with Freshwater.
Messages were left for the school district's superintendent and its attorneys.

Major League Baseball have announced that the umpiring crew who took charge of the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Houston Astros have been disciplined.
The decision, announced on Friday afternoon, came after the crew, headed by Fieldin Culbreth, failed to apply rule 3.05(b). The rule states that a pitcher must face at least one hitter before he is replaced, unless he is injured.
The Angels, who eventually won the game 6-5, rightly stated that pitcher Wesley Wright should not have been replaced by Hector Ambriz.
With two outs and runners on first and second base, Astros skipper Bo Porter brought in left hander Wright to throw against J.B Shuck. After bringing in Wright, Porter recognised that the next hitter after Shuck was right handed Luis Jimenez and immediately subbed Wright for Ambriz.
Under rule 3.05 (b), this substitution is illegal unless the pitcher is injured, which he wasn't. As a result, Angels manager Mike Scioscia argued at length with the umpires, but with no resolution, the Angels played under protest before they ran out 6-5 winners after a three run, eighth inning rally.
Chief umpire Culbreth was handed a two game suspension and a fine, with the other three umpires also receiving a fine.
Porter announced that he had apologised to Culbreth for putting them into that position and reiterated his point through the media, saying he only put Ambriz in due to his innocent interpretation of the rules.

If you're planning to fit in seamlessly in Ireland this year during The Gathering Ireland 2013 then "How To be Irish: Uncovering the Curiosities of Irish Behaviour" is essential reading.
If you are not planning to gather you may want to release your inner Irish person just for the craic.
You might wonder why a guide is needed. Surely, I imagine you saying, Irishness comes naturally. I used to think that myself because I was born and raised in Ireland and therefore took my highly developed skill of being Irish for granted.
As an anthropologist, I decided to take a closer look at myself, my neighbors, and those who come to Ireland in the hope of becoming one of us: I wanted to see if I could distil out of the complex fabric of our culture exactly what makes us so wonderful - I mean what makes us so unique.
I discovered that being Irish is a highly developed art form. There is just so much that has to be learned.
This is most noticeable when you see blow-ins vainly trying to emulate us by failing to master our Hiberno-English language, which is confusing, like English but isn't. Our obscure Hiberno-English dialect is the language of the pub. It helps us to exaggerate, avoid public demonstrations of our emotions, and manically communicate with each other over a few pints. Mastering pub life is more fun than getting drunk, which is just a fortunate by-product of spending so much quality time in the pub.
Along with fuelling talk with drink, we have other distinctive dietary requirements, like Tayto crisps, Clonakilty black puddings, and Kimberly and Mikado biscuits, without which we would fade away like Pandas deprived of bamboo shoots.
From my research, I discovered that one of the defining attributes of Irishness is learning how to die an Irish death, which usually takes the forms of peacefully, suddenly, or unexpectedly, as defined by the local newspapers. But if you really must postpone dying you should master the essential skill of attending funerals.
In my book, I show you how to fit in with your fellow mourners, especially if you are expecting a large inheritance. Remember, attending funerals with élan is the hallmark of Irishness. But in Ireland, weddings tend to be a greater source of stress and grief than an Irish funeral. As grumbling guests at both social events point out, you don't have to bring presents to a funeral. My book provides essential practical tips on how to pose for family photographs while drunk, how to avoid embarrassing speeches if possible, and when is the best time to start that inevitable fight: in other words, how to cope with the Irish wedding in general.
An essential attribute of Irishness that is often taken for granted is the need to learn how to be sick Irish-style. In Ireland illness has been developed into an art form involving distinct interactions with our doctors. There is also that related skill to be mastered – complaining. I provide practical advice on a range of typically Irish ways of being sick including a valuable 12 step guide on how to have that most Irish of experiences, a heart attack. Don't just be sick in any old way: be sick like an Irish person.
Business people who work in an international context know that cultural differences impact on commerce. My guide to the Irish workplace shows how to get to the top of your chosen field by combining looking stressed with looking important. In Ireland, we know that work can be fun if it is kept out of the workplace. One of the most popular forms of Irish work is building: Irishness can almost be defined by our relationship to building. To be truly Irish one must go through what we anthropologists call a rite of passage: you must survive a relationship with an Irish builder who attempts to attach an extension to your house.
My guide also helps you to navigate your way through the extended holiday that is the Irish Christmas. You will learn how to make polite dinner conversation, comment favourably on the turkey, and remain upright while privately drunk. Irish Christmas can be a time when you have a near-fatal exposure to your Irish family, especially your mammy. If you don't have an Irish mammy, one will adopt you if you ask politely.
In Ireland, all politics are local, most especially our national politics. I navigate through our complex political campaigns, which are not about espousing grandiose ideologies but are about shouting at each other in doors during campaigns. Happily, we have the most complex voting system in the world in the form of the proportional representation single transferrable vote system that guarantees we won't know who won until a week after the election. The complex workings of this system are explained here for the first time, ever.
But it is not all about ancient rituals and traditions. We have young generations of Irish people who are helping shape a new identity for the future. You can learn how to be a young chic Irish hipster regardless of you age. Or if you want to resist new trends you can learn how to be an uncool GAA fan.
All these skills and more are provided in my life-saving, essential guide for anyone planning to fit in at our gathering for 2013.

The Diary of Ann Powell, 1789
The MHS has just acquired a manuscript copy of the fascinating 18th-century diary of a young woman named Ann Powell. In it, Ann describes a trip down the Saint Lawrence River, 11 May-June 1789, with her brother William Dummer Powell and his family. The Powells were United Empire Loyalists who had emigrated to Canada ten years earlier. Now William, newly appointed first judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the Hesse District, Province of Quebec, was relocating his entire household from Montreal to Detroit, Michigan.
Along the way, the party had the good fortune to witness a council of the Six Nations at which about 200 chiefs were assembled. Ann was impressed:
I was very much struck with the figures of these Indians as they approached us. They are remarkably tall and finely made and walk with a grace and dignity you can have no idea of. I declare our beaux looked quite insignificant by them – one man called to my mind some of Homer's finest heroes.
She documented, in great detail, the dress and manners of the tribal people. She heaped praises on Mohawk Chief David Hill (Karonghyontye), and Seneca Chief Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha) amused her, but she was "by no means pleased" with Mohawk Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea). Another interesting passage relates to the social position of elderly Indian women in the Great Lakes region:
In England, when a man grows infirm and his talents are obscured by age, the wits decide upon his character by calling him an old woman. On the banks of Lake Erie, a woman becomes respectable as she grows old, and I suppose the greatest compliment you can pay a young hero, is that he is as wise as an old woman, a good trait of savage understanding. These ladies preserve a modest silence in the debates (I fear they are not like women of other countries) but nothing is determined without their advice and approbation.
The diary is a 19th-century copy, written mostly in an unknown hand, but it was compiled and annotated between 1863 and 1870 by Boston's own Eliza Susan Quincy. Eliza, a historian and writer in her own right, took an interest in the manuscript and the Powell family, to which she was distantly related through her grandmother Abigail Phillips Quincy. She researched Ann's story and added footnotes to the manuscript, presumably in preparation for its publication.
As far as I can tell, the diary has been published just twice in the 224 years since it was written, but never in its complete form. The first printed version—Eliza's—appeared in the July 1880 issue of The Magazine of American History, pp. 37-47. Not only were whole paragraphs and the names of some individuals redacted, but most of Eliza's notes didn't make the cut.
This juicy story was among those excluded, probably for obvious reasons:
We spent one night at the house of a Captain Duncan, whose wife I had heard often mentioned by my sisters….She is now only nineteen, and has been five years married to a man who is old, disagreeable and vicious. But he was supposed to be rich and her friends absolutely forced her to marry him….I never heard of such a series of cruelties being practised on any poor creature in my life….I felt very much interested by this sweet young woman, and should feel great pleasure in hearing her tyrant was dead; the only means by which she can be released.
Forty years later, Ann's diary was published again in William Renwick Riddell's Old Province Tales: Upper Canada, pp. 64-95. Riddell's version includes some of the previously redacted passages, but is still incomplete, and differs from the MHS copy in many ways.
Although Eliza Susan Quincy's copy of the diary is only one of many, it does include a substantial section (about half of the volume) entitled "Letters and incidents relative to an accidental acquaintance with the family of Miss Powell. 1833, to 1844." This section consists of transcripts of Eliza's correspondence with descendants of Ann Powell. The letters were not printed in 1880 or 1920 and contain a good deal of contextual information about the diary and the Powell family.
Ann Powell married merchant and fellow Loyalist Isaac Winslow Clarke and died in 1792. Her original diary is probably still in private hands.

Architectural Tree Grates / Tree Grilles
Man has obtained innovations that make it possible for mega cities to developed – often at the expense of nature. An excellent architect believes in sustainable technology advancement and leaving a much better world for our future generations. This ideal is core to any good designer who integrates nature's components into any modern-day city and landscape – gently advising us of our roots and to live harmoniously with nature.
In contemporary cities today, trees are progressively becoming the city's landscape. In our concrete jungles today, trees play a crucial function not just aesthetically, however likewise to match the contemporary drain system.
Nature has her own "drain system", some of the rain will permeate naturally into the ground and trees and yards hold the soil securely together. Jonite thinks we have mastered both the art and science of creating practical and beautify tree grates (also called tree grilles) to provide architects with more options in incorporating more trees into the contemporary city landscape.
Jonite Architectural Tree Grates / Tree Grilles
Available in a variety of designs, shapes and sizes, Jonite tree grates effortlessly integrate into the cityscape, providing space for trees to grow and develop.
Approved by the Americans With Disability Act (ADA), Jonite tree gratings are certified ADA compliant and wheelchair friendly. This makes our tree grates popular in hospitals, clinics and residential areas.
Jonite's tree grates allow fully customizable light ports or sockets for the installation of many different types of lightings for a night illumination which adds an exciting dimension to the natural beauty of trees.
With Jonite tree gratings, you can easily emboss a corporate insignia or municipal logo right onto the tree grates in your environment, giving an exclusive identity to the locale.
Beyond beautify and high-quality products, Jonite strongly believes in sustainable development. Essentially sustainable development is one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We aim to preserve the environment by incorporating the use of at least 30% recycled content in our products. Through the use of our gratings, carbon emissions will also be lowered. We are your partner in green and sustainable design.
Green Architecture
Green architecture, philosophy of architecture that advocates sustainable energy sources, the preservation of energy, the reuse and safety of building materials, and the siting of a building with factor to consider of its influence on the environment.
In the early 21st century the building structure of shelter (in all its types) utilised majority of the world's resources– equating into 16 percent of the Earth's freshwater resources, 30– 40 percent of all energy supplies, and 50 percent by weight of all the raw materials withdrawn from Earth's surface. Architecture was likewise responsible for 40– 50 percent of waste deposits in landfills and 20– 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
Lots of architect designers after the post-World War II building boom were content to erect emblematic civic and business icons that commemorated profligate consumption and omnivorous globalization. At the turn of the 21st century, however, a building structure's ecological integrity– as seen in the method it was developed and how it ran– ended up being an important consider how it was assessed.
By the mid-1980s and continuing through the '90s, the number of ecological advocacy societies significantly broadened; groups such as Greenpeace, Environmental Action, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and the Nature Conservancy all experienced growing memberships. For architects and home builders a substantial milestone was the formula in 1994 of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, developed and administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. These requirements supplied measurable criteria for the design and construction of ecologically responsible buildings.

Welcome to CTSC Research Profiles
In an effort to promote multi-disciplinary clinical and translational research, the Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Cleveland (CTSC) is pleased to introduce Pure Experts, a directory of researcher expertise that enables collaboration among researchers. This expertise portal is a key component of the CTSC's mission to catalyze new knowledge and discovery to enhance and improve patient care and promote better health in the community.
Finding the appropriate collaborators has been an arduous and tedious process of searching multiple databases, or relying on word-of-mouth recommendations. Pure Experts serves to replace this, and the CTSC of Cleveland hopes this will lead to an ever increasing number of collaborative research projects between Case Western Reserve University and our partner institutions.

Derby application developers use the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, the application programming interface that makes it possible to access relational databases from Java programs.
The JDBC API is part of the Java Platform, Standard Edition and is not specific to Derby. It consists of the java.sql and javax.sql packages, which is a set of classes and interfaces that make it possible to access databases (from a number of different vendors, not just Derby) from a Java application.
To develop Derby applications successfully, you will need to learn the JDBC API. This section does not teach you how to program with the JDBC API.
This section covers the details of application programming that are specific to Derby applications. For example, all JDBC applications typically start their DBMS's JDBC driver and use a connection URL to connect to a database. This section gives you the details of how to start Derby's JDBC driver and how to work with Derby's connection URL to accomplish various tasks. It also covers essential Derby concepts such as the Derby system.
You will find reference information about the particulars of Derby's implementation of the JDBC API in the Derby Reference Manual.
Derby application developers will need to learn SQL. SQL is the standard query language used with relational databases and is not tied to a particular programming language. No matter how a particular RDBMS has been implemented, the user can design databases and insert, modify, and retrieve data using the standard SQL statements and well-defined data types.
SQL is standardized by ANSI and ISO; Derby supports entry-level SQL as well as some higher-level features. Entry-level SQL is a subset of the full SQL specified by ANSI and ISO that is supported by nearly all major DBMSs today.
This section does not teach you SQL. You will find reference information about the particulars of Derby's implementation of SQL in the Derby Reference Manual.
Derby implements the JDBC API so as to allow Derby to serve as a resource manager in a Java EE compliant system.
When an application embeds Derby, application users take on the role of database administrator and must maintain the integrity of the database. See "Part Two: Derby Administration Guide" in the Derby Server and Administration Guide for information on administrative tasks such as backing up and restoring databases. In particular, see the topic "Maintaining database integrity" for information on preventing database corruption. You will need to make this information available to your users.

With the Chicago Blackhawks off for six days the NHL All-Star break, the team assigned forwards Ben Smith and Brandon Pirri to Rockford of the American Hockey League on Wednesday.
The rookies will remain active while the rest of the Hawks -- excluding wingers Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa who are participating in the NHL All-Star Game festivities this weekend in Ottawa -- get some time off.
Smith has two goals in 13 games with the Hawks this season while Pirri has two assists in five games.
Depending on the health of injured forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp, Smith and/or Pirri could return to the Hawks when they begin a nine-game road trip next Tuesday against the Canucks in Vancouver.
Both Toews (left hand/wrist) and Sharp (left wrist) are expected to travel with the Hawks to Vancouver. Toews could return from his injury suffered Saturday night against the Nashville Predators vs. the Canucks while Sharp is targeted to return sometime during the Hawks' three-game swing through Western Canada to start the trip.
