When you drag and drop the track onto the cd, there may be a sign like two capital S 's, one superimposed on the other. If that is the case, double click on the track name and turn off protection.

Hi everyone,
It's been a while...I checked out to fight the good fight that we all seem to know so well.
I have kicked screamed and thrown fits :temper-tantrum: finally I am in with the sclero specialist. :emoticons-line-dance: My appointment is September 8th. I am not sure what is going to happen but at least I will know if I ever have this. Hopefully either way I may get some answers finally...11 months and counting with no definite answers just lots of symptoms and a positive skin biopsy. I will keep you posted and even though I do not post often. I think of you guys everyday.
Wishing you all the best,
Congrats!! What an accomplishment!!!!!! :emoticon-congratulations: Christine
Hi Snowbird,
Finally something I can pipe in about living in sclero limbo. But what they are sure of is that I do have morphea/linear sclero confirmed by skin biopsy. It started on my upper back and boy did it itch for months. In my case I noticed and the regular doctors kept blowing it off. When I started noticing skin changes on my neck and face I went to a dermatologist myself. This guy was great, took one look and took a biopsy. I can tell you that it has not gone away and it spreading slowly. I do believe that it is affecting the muscles.
Morphea, at least to me, feels like the skin being eaten from the inside and your skin randomly hurts throughout the day. You start to see depressed areas. In a way I have been fortunate that I can still easily cover them with make-up and hopefully that is the way it will stay. There is definite muscle weakness and I am using physical therapy to work on that till I get in with the sclero specialists.
Hope that helps a little.
All the best,
A big Hello to everyone and hope everyone is holding their own.
Finally got to my doctor and the referrral to Boston to see the specialist (believe me I had to fight for it) and am now waiting for the appointment. This is such a long and frustrating process...sigh. They put me on Plaquenil and after a couple of months I started getting really sick and actually feel worse on it. I was wondering, has anyone else had side effects from this drug? Thanks in advance for the input :)
Big Soft Gentle Hugs,
Hello everyone,
First I feel I must apologize for flaking out the last couple of weeks and not being as supportive as I should be. I just needed to mentally check out for a while after the last rheumatologist appointment.
So here it goes..I went to see her on May 5th and she asked where I am at. I told her that it feels like the muscles and skin hurt all the time. She stated that all the tests for heart,kidney and lungs came back ok. My scl-70 came back negative but the skin biopsy came back postive for morphea. She stated that she feels it is only skin related but she can't be sure. I told her that on top of the skin and muscle my feet hurt terribly and with my job on my feet all the time this was not helping. My job is not flexible and I try to stay off my feet as much as possible. I have more skin involvement than I did a couple of months ago including some very painful spots on my back with are all rough now. My hands are different degrees of red all the time but I never see the blue and white that you guys speak of. Hurts to type not and they are tight. I have what they call pale white plaques that are slightly indented. Also I noticed that my mouth is sore to open. They are waiting until June 9th when I have a second skin biopsy to see the results before setting me up with the specialist.
I guess my question is does anyone else have the feeling like the muscle and skin are being eaten from the inside out? The rheumatologist looked at me like I was crazy when I told her this. However I did hear the dermatologist state to his assistant that there was muscle atrophy on my back in the same exact spot that has been so painful for me. Am I crazy? Hopefully someone can give some insight on this...again thanks for all the support from you guys. Hope everyone is doing well and you are in my thoughts...
All the best Christine
Welcome back, So sorry you are having these issues. I can totally relate I have swelling in both legs and my feet are very waxy as well. I also have to do alot of walking and standing during my 9 hours shifts at work. One of my biggest complaints is the stinging in my feet. Some days they hurt so bad I can barely walk at the end of the day. My rheumatologist told me that she doesn't feel it is related at all. I do not believe her to be correct. She is sending me off to yet another doctor...boy this gets old quick. Hope you get some much needed relief and we are all glad you are back :emoticons-line-dance: All the best Christine
Well said!!!!
Hi Craig,
Well that was kinda depressing but very true. Sadly for me my employer only offers short term disability and no long term. So I am covered for six months and that is it. I have tried a few companies and believe me the rates are very high IF you get approved. In your case I am glad you have found a reasonable solution.
Chopper, I didn't ever think of this either until my rheumatologist told me to try to secure this now but I believe I am in too far at this point. You are so right about them wanting the customer until you use them. All I can say is that my fear of doctors kept me away for many years that I still had to pay for and now in the last six months it is catching up with them. Really wished I had thought of long term in my twenties and no at 40 never thought I would be dealing with this stuff so young. Just trying to make sure my nine year old will be all set as well just in case. I have a whole different way of looking at things now. All the best.
Hi Jo,
Thanks for the response.We have SS disability as well. I was trying to think ahead with a private insurance to supplement that. I think we all worry about the what is going to happen in the future. As of right now I am still able to work full time but my job requires me to be on my feet most of the day. I thought I had a shot with no organ involvement as of yet ( fingers crossed) but the arthritis of the legs and feet is what has me thinking about this.
Hope you are well. Christine
Well as the story goes, I tried to apply for long term disability as the doctor told me I should before they put the firm diagnosis in the records. What a surprise, denied by three private companies already based on the amount of testing and a very very lengthy medical records over the last six months. Anyone had any luck in this area or is it just too late?
Hope everyone is holding their own.
All the best,
Hi Marsha, A hearty welcome from the East Coast..As I am learning very quickly we all are very different as far as symptoms go. Everyone path seems slightly different and what affects one may not affect another. I am still on my path to getting answers as well. I can tell you that I have a lot of issues with skin changes, tissue and muscle changes. They have a wonderful scleroderma clinic in Boston with specialists.( a little bit of a trip for you but probably well worth it)Try to take everyday as it comes. I too felt like no one understood what I am dealing with both physically and mentally,alone. However you have friends here that completely understand.. :emoticons-group-hug: Christine
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a Happy Holidays...Thanks for just being you.. :emoticons-group-hug: Christine
Sorry that you are dealing with this. I can tell you that I have been doing PT for several weeks now for the same thing on the left side. Shoulder and the elbow and back with no injury to speak of. I have a lot of skin involvement with tissue inflammation and muscle weakness. My elbow hurts to even rest it on the table. PT helps some but I have to believe somehow this is related. Have 3 herniated discs which was very surprising to me. My pain feels more muscle tendon related. Hope that PT brings some relief.
All the best.
Good Evening,
I was wondering if anyone else has skin involvement. I have swelling in both legs but I also have the sensation of throbbing in my skin and muscles. This is pretty constant. Sometime it feels like it is all the way to the bone... Ouch....My feet ache terribly. Does anyone else have this much skin involvment?
Hi Everyone,
As promised I am back to update. So today at work the local hospital called and told me they were doing the registering for my appointment on Thursday. My response was great...lol...What am I having done? They called before the doctor's office called me. So I guess they are moving forward with the heart testing, which will be this week. When the doctor did call I inquired about this and she stated that they wanted to continue the baseline testing. She also stated that she had been talking with the specialists and they told her that even though the blood tests were negative that did NOT rule it out. The heart testing is next and then on May 5th we will discuss the results and make a plan to get me in with the specialists. I informed her that although I was ok with staying with her I did want to go to the specialists as well. My comfort level would be higher with both working on this together regardless of whether it is only in the skin, muscles and tissues or more. I was very direct about that. I guess we are going in the right direction. I do realize that this is a slow process at best.
One more side note..it seems that my pulmonary tests showed mild obstruction :emoticon-dont-know:
Guess we will talk more about that later..
Thanks for all the supports...All the best :emoticons-group-hug: Christine
Hi SusieQ,
Sorry for the late response on this post. Congrats...Glad that you are doing so well :emoticons-line-dance: It is so nice to hear the good things :emoticons-yes: Keep up the great work..All the Christine
Thanks everyone for the input. I really have to say that although not happy with these recent issues overall I do like the Rheumatoligist. I did find her easy to talk to and she did spend a lot of time with me in my first few appointments as well as pushing the tests for lungs quickly. I am hoping that she will stay true to her word and refer me to the specialists in Boston. I do believe that they need to be the ones to determine this. After I left that message I realized that Monday is a holiday so I guess I will wait for Tuesday. One thing I have learned is that nothing happens very quickly and I stopped worrying about what might be said. Nothing changes the outcome so I decided to enjoy the weekend. I hope everyone is doing the same. No point in :emoticon-bang-head: Life is to short.
All the best Christine
Hi Craig, Some of the other symptoms are red swollen hands and feet. Severe muscle pain. There is swelling all over my body which they have not fiqured out which is why they did the biopsy. I have Raynaud's is both legs and hands and problems with swallowing as well as stomach issues. Oh yes to complete the mess lol severe dry mouth and tight shiny skin on hands and feet. Guess it is a wait and see. Christine
Hi Everyone, Hope all is well with everyone. So Finally after a couple of weeks. I finally got an answer from the rheumatologist. I called her and asked her if the results were in from my bloodwork. She states I mailed them to you. I never received them. She tells me that the ANA results were normal so that I do not have diffuse or limited scleroderma. I was confused by this as she had told me that the blood tests were the only way to tell. I know that some of you had said that you can still have it without a positive blood test. I mentioned this to her and the skin biopsy was postive. She stated that the skin biopsy meant morphea not the other form. I then questioned her about the kidney testing and the lung testing results. She informed me that she did not have the results but since she hadn't heard anything she assumes they are fine. That was last Friday. I was not feeling overly comfortable with these answers. I really like her but kinda feel like I was being brushed off. So out of the blue today I come home from work and there is an urgent message to call the office that she needs to speak with me. Of course I call back and they are gone for the weekend. I am not having a good feeling right now. Does anyone else have a negative blood test? Thanks for listening no one else understand the anxiety of not knowing where all the pain is coming from..... :emoticon-dont-know:
All the best, Christine
Hi, I am dealing with the same exact thing. I am 40 and for the last year I have been all over the place. First it was every 2 weeks and then I started skipping months which I have never done. I was always every 28 days with about a 5-6 day cycle. after skipping I would only get it for 2 days and then it would disappear and it was extremely light. I also thought it was because of everything else going on with my body. I have an appointment with my primary and she can run blood tests to see if this is the case. Glad you brought this up, I wanted to but was embarrassed. However if is early menopause then I will do the dance. :emoticons-line-dance:
Best wishes, Christine
Hi Dawn, That is terrific.. Congrats on your news. Joining the dance as well.
Christine :emoticons-line-dance:
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else had noticed weight gain. I am wondering how on earth I can keep gaining weight when clearly I am eating much less than I used to. The only meds I am on right now is for nerve pain due to 3 herinated discs in my back. Yet I seem to keep gaining. Anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks for listening.... Christine :emoticon-dont-know:
Thanks Jeannie,
I promise I will. It made me feel so much better going in with knowledge from you guys rather than the deer in the headlights look.
Hugs Christine
Hi Chopper,
Welcome!!!! Like you I am new. I have found this website and the wonderful people here a lifeline.
Hopefully you will find it to be a great help as well. I found out very quickly that it seems if you have a question or concern many people have already experienced it. The medical is very helpful as well. Look froward to hearing from you. All the best..Christine

Philips Hue can make it seem like you're home when you're not, using the schedule function in the Philips Hue app. Set the lights to come on at a pre-set time, so the lights are on when you arrive home.

Setting the ambiance has never been easier with Philips Hue candle bulbs. Choose any shade of white light to set the ambiance or decorate your home with a mix of warm and cool white light.

Light influences our mood and behavior. Philips Hue can help you to customize your daily routines into moments you can enjoy. Skip your morning coffee and get ready for the day with cool, bright white daylight that helps to energize your body and mind. Stay focussed with finely tuned bright white light.

The Sikorsky X2 Technology demonstrator reportedly broke the speed record for rotorcraft on Monday at a maximum speed of 225 knots (417 km/h).
The previous record had been set by Trevor Egginton on a Westland G-Lynx at a speed of 216 kts (400 km/h) on August 11, 1986. The fly-by-wire X2 helicopter was flown by Kevin Bredenbeck. Unfortunately, the test flight performance was not officially.
With a counter-rotating coaxial rotor, and its brand new tail configuration, the X2 is more maneuverable as the helicopter gains in speed. Moreover, the X2 would be excellent at low-speed handling as well as hovering.
The X2 Technology demonstrator combines an integrated suite of technologies intended to advance the state-of-the-art, counter-rotating coaxial rotor helicopter. It is designed to demonstrate that a helicopter can cruise comfortably at 250 knots while retaining such desirable attributes as excellent
Thanks to its integrated auxiliary propulsion system – coaxial pusher prop concept, and to other assets among which its reduced hub drag, the Sikorsky X2 prototype should exceed the 250-knot benchmark (463 km/h)!
The Beriev Be-2500 Neptune is a super-heavy transport seaplane proposed by the Beriev Aircraft Company of Russia. Its maximum take-off weight should reach 2,500 tons! It would be the largest aircraft ever proposed. It might weigh four times more than the largest aircraft in the world, the Antonov An-225.
This gigantic project would range from $10 to $15 billion. The Be-2500 would be a « flying ship » able to compete with the maritime shipping and air transport industries. Its size is not clearly quoted due to a discrepancy in the figures available. However, it would nearly double the Airbus A380 size!
It is deemed to be an ekranoplane (also known as a « wing-in-ground-effect – WIG », « flarecraft », « wing-in-surface-effect ship – WISE », « sea skimmer », « ground effect vehicle – GEV » thanks to its cushion of high-pressure air provided by the aerodynamic interaction between the wings and the surface, which is known as ground effect.
Last but not least, it could fly far over the surface (airborne) like any heavy cargo. Watch what it could look below:
As you can see the French Navy E-2 Hawkeye 2000 on this picture (below), the E-2 has evolved into an eight-bladed-propeller and glass-cockpit version. The photo was shot by Xavier (http://passiondesavions.blogspot.com/) from La Ferté Allais Airshow in May 2010.

Here are the programs Camp Akita offers for campers entering 9th grade in the Fall of 2018:
June 6–12 (Session 2) | July 6 - 12 (Session 7)7 days, 6 nights$475 (members) / $525 (non-members)
These are the camp sessions you do not want to miss! We pull out all the stops and
guarantee every camper that they will have a new experience at Akita. We will wake up
early, stay up late, and cram as many activities into the day as possible. There will
be a full compliment of options during the day for our campers to choose from. Some
examples from last year are yoga, cooking, home made physics, and carpentry.
Campers will hear a nightly message from one of our staff members. They will
have time in small groups to discuss their faith with their cabins at night and in coed
groups during the morning. Our emphasis to our high school campers is how to live out
your faith. We hope that our high school campers leave Akita with confidence in their
personal beliefs and the knowledge that there is a large faith community at Akita that
accepts them for the unique being that they are.
*You must be age 19 or younger to attend these camp sessions.
More info about Summer Camp
Register for camp
June 24 - 29 (Session B3) | July 13 - 18 (Session B4) | July 22 - 27 (Session B5)6 days, 5 nights$405 (members) / $455 (non-members)
Akita Backcountry is our outdoor education camp experience. Each session is limited to 10 campers who will stay in two large platform tents in a remote corner of our property. By immersing ourselves in nature, living more simply, and sleeping under the stars, we often feel like the best versions of ourselves. There is something about cooking over a campfire and listening to the crickets that makes it easy for us to ask bigger questions, trust one another, and engage in deep conversations about faith. The program's strength lies in the small number of participants and the relationships so easily formed as we explore together.
More info about Akita Backcountry
Register for Akita Backcountry
The all girls session of Akita Backcountry is in it's third year and back by popular demand. Our campers will get to do everything from our other Backcountry sessions, but this experience is tailored to an all girl group, framing the challenges of the Adventure Complex, canoeing, hiking and more to our next generation of amazing female leaders.

Definition of prosecute
- prosecute a war
- prosecute a claim
The store's owner agreed not to prosecute if the boy returned the stolen goods.
The case is being prosecuted by the assistant district attorney.
She criticized the government for the way it has prosecuted the war.
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'prosecute.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
Take care to distinguish between prosecuted and persecuted, although we sincerely hope that neither word applies to you. Persecute typically has a small range of meanings, such as "to harass or punish in a manner designed to injure, grieve, or afflict." Although the word is occasionally found in dialectal use to mean "prosecute," many usage guides consider this to be an error. Prosecute is generally found today in a legal context ("to bring legal action against for redress or punishment of a crime or violation of law"), although the word may also be used to mean "to follow to the end" or "to engage in." If someone is prosecuted they are being tried in a court of law; if they are persecuted they are being targeted and harassed.

...well you all know it...harp glissandi are an often used (and sometimes overused) element in filmscorings. I like them...they are a wonderful tool to underline dramatic swells. what I'd like to know: which chords or harmonies are good to use? It's for me hard to analyse that by ear. sure there is the possibility to use the same key in which the passage is actually. (or pentatonic and full tone scales) but often I mean to hear other keys which seems to be much more interesting....so what is adequate.....the minor parallel (hmmm...almost the same) or a quint or quart higher? I'm riddling.
thanks for all thoughts!

Re: Tombstone Calculator-Julian/Gregorian
In reply to:
Tombstone Calculator-Julian/Gregorian
Not sure if the calculator actually does this; and not sure if this answers your question or not ... but I believe the program covers variables by the double dating process. Anything happening before the date of 1752 (when England and American colonies accepted the "new" calendar) should show up as a double date. If you use the "as entered" option in your date field options, your double dates will show.In other words, the Structured date (in the Events window) will display the second year in the double date and, I believe, it will print on most reports (at least it does in the Family Group Report).

What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the study and treatment of the dental pulp. Endodontists perform a variety of procedures including root canal therapy, surgery, treating cracked teeth, and treating dental trauma. Root canal therapy is one of the most common procedures. If the pulp becomes diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth. An Endodontist is a specialist in the area of soft tissue inside the tooth. Endodontists, who perform root canals, receive advanced education after graduating from dental school and typically only deal with endodontic-related problems.
A common misconception is that a root canal is a painful procedure. Actually, root canals are similar to having a cavity filled, producing minimal discomfort.
Common causes for the need of endodontics treatment:
- Inflamed/infected tooth pulp
- Severe sensitivity to hot and cold elements
- Tooth decay
- Chipped or broken tooth
- Blow to the tooth
- Swelling or tenderness near the infected tooth
- Repeated dental procedures on a tooth

Shooting in the dark with your Glock is something we never really think about but still have to prepare for it. When the time comes and you must defend yourself and loves ones, you don't want to be caught off guard. That is why having the best night sight for Glock around as a precaution is a good idea. With luck, you may rest easy knowing you got what it takes for the job without actually use it for once. In the case you can use a couple hints on how to make a logical and informed choice then you come to the right place. Read through the below and make a wise decision.
There is an assortment of Glock night sights on the market with distinct characteristics for different needs and requirements. It's essential you don't make your purchase on a whim since that can cost you a lot of negligible gains. Take it slow and steady, decide the features and qualities you need in a night sight before you head to the shop. This should keep you from getting lost and confused by a flood of products later on. As long as you follow this principle, you can certainly obtain something which satisfies you in every way.
Things you need to consider
As with anything else, it worth the effort to check out the aspects of the products and compare them to one another. Due to people preferences, many may think a certain sight is good enough for the task while the rest feel otherwise. Each sight got its pros and cons so it's vital you go after a suitable and practical option. The last thing you want to do is a flashy sight which you have little use or unreliable on the field. Now, let take a look at what you have to check and exam on a sight. Do this step throughout and you won't be disappointed with your choice.
- Price and quality.
Your budget has quite an influence on the kind of a sight you can buy but the product price tag is important nerveless. Of course, you want to a buy something fit your pocket and it's perfectly understandable too. However, cheap products usually not going to last for long and their performances are mediocre at best. For a product that can be the decisive factor in a critical situation, you better make a careful and well-thought purchase. You don't have to get the most expensive stuff but remember: A product quality is more or less related to its price.
This is where a compromise will take place so you can own a decent product for an affordable cost. Look into your wallet and decide the highest amount of money you are willing to spend on a Glock night sight. Keep the number in mind when you go down other criteria and at the end, you can grab a fairly nice product. This can't get you a top of the line but it did result in a sight with an acceptable price.
- Effectiveness
It's obvious that whatever you get must be of use to you or it's simply a waste of money. The sight you choose should be able to function normally in the designed light condition and up to your liking. After properly mounted, it must stay completely still without being affected by the recoil of the gun. Imagine how the sight would perform in real life and make your decision accordingly.
- Endurance
If you are going buy a sight, at least make sure it can stick around for some time. Getting high-quality products is only worth it if it is durable. A fragile sight which can't handle a bit rough might not be a good choice. Inspect the sight carefully so you can be sure it doesn't prone to cracking or leaking.
- Operation
A complex sight with complicated activation is ill-advised. When you need to use your Glock in a nighttime emergency, you want to turn on the sight quickly and easily. If you can fully grasp how a sight work and the way to use it then simply check out other product to save time.
Test out the sight
So you have made up your mind and finally decide on one particular sight. The next thing to do here is to see if it works as you like or not. The best to do it is to go through several magazines and check the result with your own eyes. There are three primary tests in order to ensure your night sight is up to specs and ready to be used.
- Basic
Just equip your Glock with the sight and shoot a couple of rounds in a normal light condition. It helps you get the feel of the new sight since it can be quite a difference from the gun original one. Before you go over to night shooting, you need to get used to the change first. Increase the distance after a few magazines.
- Low light
When you got all comfortable with the sight then it's time to step up the difficulty. Now you shall check out the sight performance in a low light condition. Compare the results of your shooting to the basic one by ranges and decide whether the sight performance is consistent or not. If they are approximately the same then the sight seems to be a great buy
- Dark
In this final test, your shooting skill is just as important as the sight quality. Proceed just as the above but this time you also need to determine the distance that you can shoot accurately in nighttime.
And that should be enough for the basics of how to pick the best night sight for Glock, not too difficult, right? The process of picking a good product can be hard if you have little knowledge about it. But if you can manage to follow the guide above, you can easily get a suitable night sight with a satisfied performance.

Bluetooth has been around for quite some time, getting better and better along the way. Especially with major upgrades, like what's expected yet again with the upcoming release of Bluetooth 5 specifications.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) says that it will soon announce Bluetooth 5, which will be a huge update from the current Bluetooth 4.2 standard. According to the group, Bluetooth 5 will not only double the speed of Bluetooth-equipped devices, but also quadruple the range when compared to the current iteration of the wireless technology.
On top of that, Bluetooth 5 will also improve the connection and functionality of beacons and other location-relevant devices and services.
Bluetooth is a huge part of how wireless devices work these days; it's certainly not just for a wireless headset anymore. The upgrade to Bluetooth 5, which should be announced soon, sounds like it will be a significant improvement for future devices.


text: sio-karnataka zone: Chemistry question paper leak, strict action shall be taken: SIO Karnataka Bengaluru: The repeated leak of Chemistry question paper stunted the students of Karnataka. This state of affairs shows clearly the irresponsibility of the State government. All these wrongs literally caused the loss of credibility and trust on the state apparatus. As usual government tries to escape from responsibility of this matter by announcing an enquiry commission and false promises of punishing the culprits. At this point of time one thing is very clear that the government failed very badly in finding out the foul elements in the whole process of formation and disseminating of the question paper. As we all know that in other states the process of making and distribution of question papers are kept very confidential. The repeated leak of the chemistry question paper is happening when already an investigation is going by the CID of the state. Every year we find our PU Board in the news headings for one or the other controversies. The leak of question papers caused a situation of chaos in the minds of students across the state. This is not an isolated happening in the state. In 2012 Mathematics and Physics question paper were leaked, and lectures from Bengaluru, Chikballapura and Kolar were suspended. SIO Karnataka strongly condemns the irresponsibility of the State Government. We appeal the government to take required measure to ensure the safety and quality of the all competitive exams. Hence, the chemistry question paper leak shall be investigated in time and take action against the culprits.

The review has been carried out by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC), the Committee responsible for the evaluation of safety issues for human medicines, which made a set of recommendations. The PRAC recommendations were sent to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), responsible for questions concerning medicines for human use, which adopted the Agency's opinion. The CHMP opinion was forwarded to the European Commission, which issued a final legally binding decision applicable in all EU Member States.
Sixty-five trials met the inclusion criteria for this review . Fifty-six trials (19 paediatric trials) contributed data (representing total of 10,005 adults and 3,333 children); 21 trials were of high methodological quality; 44 were published in full-text. All trials pertained to patients with mild or moderate persistent asthma. Trial durations varied from four to 52 weeks. The median dose of inhaled corticosteroids was quite homogeneous at 200 µg/day of microfine hydrofluoroalkane-propelled beclomethasone or equivalent (HFA-BDP eq). Patients treated with anti-leukotrienes were more likely to suffer an exacerbation requiring systemic corticosteroids (N = 6077 participants; risk ratio ( RR ) , 95% confidence interval ( CI ) , ). For every 28 (95% CI 15 to 82) patients treated with anti-leukotrienes instead of inhaled corticosteroids, there was one additional patient with an exacerbation requiring rescue systemic corticosteroids. The magnitude of effect was significantly greater in patients with moderate compared with those with mild airway obstruction ( RR , 95% CI , versus RR , 95% CI , ), but was not significantly influenced by age group (children representing 23% of the weight versus adults), anti-leukotriene used, duration of intervention , methodological quality, and funding source. Significant group differences favouring inhaled corticosteroids were noted in most secondary outcomes including patients with at least one exacerbation requiring hospital admission (N = 2715 participants; RR ; 95% CI to ), the change from baseline FEV 1 (N = 7128 participants; mean group difference ( MD ) 110 mL, 95% CI 140 to 80) as well as other lung function parameters, asthma symptoms, nocturnal awakenings, rescue medication use, symptom-free days, the quality of life, parents' and physicians ' satisfaction. Anti-leukotriene therapy was associated with increased risk of withdrawals due to poor asthma control (N = 7669 participants; RR ; 95% CI to ). For every thirty one (95% CI 22 to 47) patients treated with anti-leukotrienes instead of inhaled corticosteroids, there was one additional withdrawal due to poor control . Risk of side effects was not significantly different between both groups.

Hi zazzy!
We've got quite wintry showers at the moment.
Wet snow which quickly melts, then freezes over at night.
There's been a heavy frost the last 3 nights...
Everything's just soaking wet and then it freezes up overnight.
I've had to help "jump start" two of my neighbours cars (with booster cables) in the last few days too.
It always amazes me how unprepared people seem to be... we get this weather just about every year here, yet they never seem to check or charge up their car battery prior to the bad weather arriving!!
Anyway, I think I'm just grumpy because I've got a cold, erm... I mean Man Flu! Yes that's it! MAN FLU!
I'm sure that a beer will help?

Jazz Age
Jazz Age
Champagne, verbena, citrus, iris, jasmine.
℮ 240g / 8.5oz
up to 50 hours burn time
Jazz Age is a luxury hand poured soy wax candle combining effervescent citrus notes with powdery florals. This light and sparkling fragrance evokes the parties of the 1920s, as described by F. Scott Fitzgerald in his jazz age tales. Champagne flowed, perfumed fans waved, powder was buffed into skin, and girls and boys alike lifted their heels to the new beats of the jazz age.
Jazz Age is housed in a matt black glass jar and a recycled rigid matt black box patterned with a metallic gold print that references art deco diamonds. The candle is made from a blend of sustainably sourced soy wax and beeswax and a bespoke fragrance blend of essential oils and high-quality safe synthetics. Cotton wicks ensure a long, clean burn. All Literati & Light luxury candles are carefully poured by hand in England using artisan techniques.
Jazz Age can be purchased with a polished gold stainless steel lid or a handmade lid crafted from beech wood or without a lid. We recommend using a lid to extinguish your candle and to protect it from dust. Lids can also be used as candle coasters.
Candle Care: to ensure that you get the best burn from your Literati & Light candle please burn it for as long as it takes for the pool of melted wax to reach the sides of the glass (usually three hours) on each burn. Please trim the cooled wick to 0.5cm before lighting the candle each time you burn the candle. If the wick has reached longer than 0.5cm whilst the candle is burning, please extinguish the candle, allow the wick to cool, trim the wick and relight. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

It's gratifying to see so many knitters stopping by to check out my patterns. Many of you are new to charted knitting and, as you've gotten your feet wet with some of my Christmas Ball patterns, a few of you have posed essentially the same question that a knitter just asked me this afternoon:
I found your Two Strands Christmas Ball on line and loved it! So, I printed out the pattern with the intention of making it. At this point, I came to a screeching halt! I have never, in all my years (30+) of knitting etc, knitted from a chart. I am confused by the first row, the chart shows 1 stitch, then white space, then 2 stitches. Are there any knitted stitches in the white space? Any insight you could give me would certainly be appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you soon.😃
So, here's my reply:
Have you ever seen this type of map of the world?
If you were to cut it out and bring the edges together, you'd come up with something approximating a sphere, whereas if you cut out this rectangular map, below, and brought the edges together, you'd only get a cylinder:
The first map, above, is sort of like my Two Strands Christmas Ball knitting chart.
If you cut out my knitting chart (well, four attached repeats of my knitting chart) and put them together, like the map at the top…
they'd form something close to a sphere. Just as with that first map, the white space in the background is meaningless – it's not part of the map at all, it's just the background of the flattened sphere. Same thing with my chart.
So, to knit from my chart, as the pattern indicates, you start by casting on 3 chart stitches x 4 repeats = 12 stitches total. Stitches #1, 2 & 3 look like they're far apart on the chart, but they're right next to each other on your needles (just as parts of Antarctica look as though they're thousands of miles apart, but we know that they're really contiguous.) As you follow the pattern and make the increases in the lower half, where indicated (and, in the upper half, the decreases, where indicated) you'll see the sphere taking shape and your stitches will remain right next to each other throughout, bottom to top (or South Pole to …North Pole. Ho! Ho! Ho!)

It was a big day for Teresa last night, who's not only attending her first Oscars but is also celebrating her 31st birthday. Prior to her jaw-dropping red carpet debut, the Hacksaw Ridge star told fans she was pinching herself at the thought of attending the prestigious event.
"I'm not sure if I could think of a better way to spend my birthday than with my boys while getting ready for my very first Oscars!" she wrote alongside a snap of her 10-week-old son Forest while getting her hair and makeup done.
Hacksaw Ridge is nominated for six awards including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.
She wore an ethereal ice blue sequinned Prada gown to wear and said: "I just loved how whimsical it is. I love the colour, it's such a pretty, ethereal and whimsical dress, it just felt like me when I put it on. I'm thrilled that this is the dress I am wearing to the Oscars for the first time."
Palmer paired her Prada gown with Sophia Webster shoes, a silver Edie Parker box clutch and stunning Neil Lane jewels including a diamond hair pin. We also added x40 photos from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party where she wore a stunning custom Vivienne Westwood dress…

The low-priced hits just keep on coming. Apple overnight announced a new version of its 16GB iPod touch, available for $249, as well as dropping prices on the 32GB and 64GB models by $30 and $80, respectively.
If you've forgotten The Strange Case of the 16GB iPod touch, don't feel too bad: The former model debuted in May 2013 with a few … peculiarities. For one thing, it featured no rear-facing camera, just the front-mounted FaceTime HD camera. It also eschewed the iPod touch loop connector that its siblings sported, and came in just a single colour: silver.
Now that strange one-off has been consigned to the dustbin of history, joining the likes of the rare aluminium unibody MacBook with no FireWire. In its place is a fully featured 16GB iPod touch that comes in all the colours of the rainbow – well, the pink, yellow, blue, silver, space grey and (Product) Red that the 32GB and 64GB models come in – and has the same 5 megapixel iSight camera and loop connector. (The wrist strap itself, however, is not included as it is with the more expensive models.) In other words, it's more or less the 16GB iPod touch that we should have had all along.
Meanwhile, the 32GB and 64GB models have dropped to $299 and $349, making them more affordable than ever. Coming on the heels of Apple's new entry-level iMac and repriced MacBook Air, the theme of a lower cost of entry to the company's product lines seems to be continuing across the board. (If you want, I suppose you could add last year's iPhone 5c as a data point as well.) In some ways, that's no surprise – Apple does usually get the cost curve on its products down as they age – but it also strikes me as a trend emblematic of Tim Cook's Apple.
Currently the Apple Store says the 16GB is unavailable.

I've paused Mozy Sync on my computer and now have unchecked "Start Mozy Sync at login" because I can't seem to stop it from removing files!!!
Started after I had to reinstall windows and then reinstall Mozy Home and Sync. Everything seemed OK tlll I started getting dings every few seconds from my computer. I opened Sync and found it responsible for the "ding" sounds. On further investigation I found the attached Tra sfer History Activity that includes many "File removed from sync folder" entries -- and I couldn't find the filed on either my refreshed computer or in the online sync folders.
I'll have to abandon Mozy entirely unless I can be assured that files in sync will stay there until they are deliberately removed by a user.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I'm sorry to hear that! When I have seen this in the past, the person deleted the Sync folder from one of the computers, which makes every file set for deletion. It's possible that when you upgraded to windows 10, the folder got 'removed' somehow, and sync saw it and thought that all the files need to be removed.
So, this is what I want you to do. Remove all files from that folder to a folder on your desktop. Re-connect to sync. Let it zero out and think there is nothing there. After that move everything back into the sync folder (copy it if you want to be safe). From then on it should work without issue! Let us know what happens though!
UGH! Sounds more like salvage than restore. -- Anything removed is lost and only remnants after I paused/stopped Mozy Sync can be captured. Where can I find and get at the deleted sync files that are presumably retained for 30 days?
You would do a web restore, but instead of clicking on 'devices' and picking a computer, you would click on your sync folder. On the top right below your name is an icon for the 'actions pane' (looks like a sliding glass door). Click on that one and select 'include deleted files' to restore deleted files.
Were you able to restore you files from the Mozy web restore page? I'm still seeing 79.7 GBs in the Mozy Sync folder on your account. It appears as though all your data is there and has not been lost. You may want to include deleted files if you are going to restore the data.
Please post any questions or comments
Thank you,
@gbill - Thank you for using the Mozy forums! If you have any additional questions, please reply to this topic thread and our community members will be happy to assist you! In addition, I can also create a support ticket should you need additional help with your question.
Have a great day!
@gbill - Did you need any additional help or want a case created with support? If you need a support case created, I can certainly take care of that for you.
Have a great day!
I've been unsuccessful in restoring the files (probably ~2/3 of my image files). I have checked the
Include deleted files" box but have only tried downloading them all. -- I'm concerned that if I simply restart sync, it will continue sucking from my computer rather than copying the deleted files to my computer. I've seen nothing written that simply including the deleted files in the on-line sync folder will cause the files to be restored the way they were. There seems to be no clearly defined undelete process.
I did try simply downloading the sync folder to my computer with include deleted checked. That fails because I've been on travel and in a motel with VERY poor internet. It just terminates long downloads after less than a gig. I probably won't have a dependable internet till I get home in a little over a month. I'd really appreciate Mozy retaining the deleted files for at least 2 months so I can get them all reclaimed.
Sync could really use an "archive" flag to mark files for retention until the originator or Mozy account owner un-flags it. Users, then, would use a copy of the archived file instead of the original for their changes (and the changed file could be placed in their Mozy sync folder for sharing) -- Increasing Mozy revenue with increased account storage to accommodate the new copies.
If the files you need are deleted then downloading the files manually from the website while including deleted files is the only way to restore them at this point.
However if the files are available without including deleted files then you may open the Mozy Sync settings / preferences and click on the "unlink computer" then move any data out of the existing Sync folder so the Sync folder is empty.
Then link the computer using the "link computer" option in the settings and enter your username and password to link again.
This will start downloading all the data in the Sync container in the cloud back to the Sync folder.
Like I mentioned before this only works for files that have not been deleted and are currently available without including deleted files.
I hope this is helpful, also so you may post any ideas on the Idea Exchange board here:
Please post any questions or comments.
Thank you,
@gbill I am following up with you about your Sync restore. This link explains the restore process: http://support.mozy.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Restore-deleted-sync-files
As you know, Sync keeps files up-to-date in real time. Yes it still has the same 30 day retention period for deleted files as a backup has; however, you can only restore them individually. The reason why these files started being removed can come from any one of the computers you have linked to the Sync account. This could be caused by the file being deleted from the Sync folder, or moved to a new folder location.
Since you are away from your primary network, I recommend selecting what you need to restore in small groups (less than 1GB in size total) to download at a time. You can save the restored files into it's own folder for re-organization later. I know this will take some time but is the best option with the network connections you have available while away.
So more files are not marked for removal, I recommend unlinking this computer from the Sync software until you return. Then you can contact technical support for assistance with resolving the syncing issue then.
If this helped you, please like the response given and press Accept as Solution.
Thank you,
