<<< << -- 3 -- Robert Hugill EXPLOITING THE UNEXPECTED
Kyle Ketelson has a good focussed bass voice with the flexibility and line to make the most of Handel's arias written for the superb bass Montagnana. This latter had an extraordinary wide range and Ketelson's main weakness was a lack of adequate resonance in his lower register. But he coped remarkably well with the task set him by Handel. This vocal style seemed to reflect in his performance where his Zoroastro was perhaps more flexible, less fearfully imposing than some performances. He did not seem to provide the towering, dominant presence needed when he was on stage, though from a musical point of view his performance was fine.
During the first run, I found that Alice Coote's performance from the end of Act 2 (when Orlando goes mad) was musically artful rather than moving -- to be admired rather then to stir you. Mehta succeeded in making us really feel for Orlando. At the end of Act 2, you felt he really did descend into madness, without ever breaking baroque conventions musically. After all, Handel's mad scene exploits the use of the unexpected rather than using Donizetti's virtuoso coloratura.
This feeling of madness continued into Act 3 and the whole of this act was profoundly moving, as if Orlando's madness cast a pall over all of the players on stage.
This highly satisfying performance was presided over by the ever youthful Sir Charles Mackerras in the pit, conducting the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Mackerras used a pretty big band, suitable for Covent Garden's large spaces. I noted that he also had his recorder players doubling oboes to provide himself with four oboes in the concerted passages. Again this worked very well for the orchestral balance in this big space, with the band never overwhelming the singers either. Mackerras is a truly experienced Handelian and well used to achieving period-aware performances with singers and players from a mixture of musical backgrounds. The results were superb and I could only wish that the Royal Opera House had an ROH Live label like the London Symphony Orchestra so that we could take the whole thing home with us.
Negrin's production remains rather over-busy, but it is a busyness born of trying to tell a story. Though he is not averse to entertaining as well. Whilst I would perhaps have liked less stage movement and a few more austere moments, I have to admit that the production was popular and the house pretty well near full. Which is no bad achievement.

washingtonpost.com Staff Writer

With apologies to George Tenet, the first 100 days of President Bush's second term have been no slam-dunk.
How rough has it been? Bush has the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his second term, according to Gallup polls going back to World War II.
Bush's erosion of support among independents in particular has helped bring his overall approval rating down to 45 percent. Forty-nine percent disapprove of his performance.
Compare Bush's Gallup numbers taken in late March to poll numbers taken at the same point in the presidencies of the six previous men who served two terms:
Clinton: 59 percent approval versus 35 percent disapproval
Reagan: 56 percent versus 37 percent disapproval
Nixon: 57 percent versus 34 percent
Johnson: 69 percent versus 21 percent
Eisenhower: 65 percent versus 20 percent
Truman: 57 percent versus 24 percent
True enough, Bush's numbers weren't all that high to begin with. In the last Gallup poll before the election, he was at 48 percent approval to 47 percent disapproval -- yet he still won and helped his party in the process.
But second terms are often more difficult than first terms. In addition to administration scandals, the re-elected president's party often loses seats in the mid-term congressional elections. Bush will need a higher approval rating if he hopes to avoid the "Sixth Year Itch."
Only 38 percent of respondents said they believed Bush had done an excellent or good job in his first 100 days, compared to 58 percent who believed he had done a fair or poor job, according to a poll conducted March 31 to April 1 by Westhill Partners and the National Journal's Hotline.
People will analyze the data differently. But here are a few things that I believe have hurt the administration in the last few months:
Overconfidence: The president beamed with confidence after his November defeat of John Kerry. After the election, Bush told a news conference, "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style." This statement was certainly no surprise, given that Bush governed as though he had a clear mandate even after losing the popular vote by a half-million to Al Gore in 2000. But the reality of Bush's victory in 2004 was that he won with 50.7 percent of the popular vote to Sen. John F. Kerry's 48.2 percent. You'd have to back to at least the early 1800s to find a president who has been re-elected by a closer margin.
The nation remains nearly evenly divided, yet Bush came out of the blocks as if he'd won by a Reaganesque landslide.
Social Security: By the time Bush began pushing his first round of tax cuts in 2001, he had already been advocating the issue for two years, starting as a candidate in 1999. Bush made the issue his first priority, deploying his proven communications apparatus to make the case that the cuts benefited middle-class people and small business owners. By the time Bush took the nation to war in March 2003, he had been building his case, piece-by-piece, for months. But during his reelection campaign, he said little about Social Security. Had he made it a major issue, Kerry might be sitting in the White House today, a point that is reinforced by the reluctance of voters to accept Bush's proposal today. Democrats certainly would have been able to use the issue to bludgeon Bush among older voters, who also comprise the most reliable block of voters.
After the election, Bush signaled clearly that Social Security reform would be the first domestic priority of his second term, putting the issue on the table before clearly laying out the case for the need to make changes. Democrats, defying their recent inability to coalesce around anything controversial, came together on this issue and quickly used their historic advantage on Social Security to define the debate before the White House. The administration is still playing catch-up, even working to overcome skeptical Republicans. Meanwhile, most polls show the public is strongly opposed to private accounts.
Terri Schiavo: Bush declined to cut short his vacation after the southeast Asian Tsunami disaster, even as it became clear that it would be of epic proportions. Then, months later, he interrupted another vacation in Texas to fly back to Washington in the middle of the night to sign legislation, pushed through in a rare weekend session, designed to keep a severely brain-damaged Florida woman alive. The actions of Bush and his party appeared to deviate from their stated principles supporting states' rights and the sanctity of marriage and their opposition to judge shopping. Most polls have shown widespread disapproval of the president's handling of the issue, even among Republicans.
Iraq: The recent Iraqi elections gave supporters of the president's foreign policy something to cheer about. But then the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction -- which had been created reluctantly by the president -- issued a scathing report about the CIA's intelligence failures leading up to the war. Fortunately for the White House, the commission was tasked with analyzing the intelligence-gathering agencies, and not how the president and other policy makers used the intelligence to make the case for war. The administration has long maintained, essentially, that everyone in the world believed that Hussein was building WMD. But there was never anything close to unanimity within the intelligence community about Hussein's stockpiles or capability to deliver them. Whatever the case, the public remains dissatisfied about the president's handling of Iraq, with 41 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving, according to the Westhill Journal poll.
The economy: A majority of Americans -- 56 percent according to the Westhill poll -- oppose the president's handling of the economy. Republicans are even feuding even among themselves about the president's agenda, disagreeing on whether to push for a new round of tax cuts or to focus on tackling a massive federal budget deficit that clearly now is more than just a short-term problem.
For the first time in his presidency, Bush made a real effort to cut and slow spending, but his budget barely nips at the edges of the massive inequity between government revenues and spending. The signature economic achievements of Bush's first months of his second term -- new laws restricting class action lawsuits and bankruptcy protections -- could be two issues that resonate little with Joe and Jane Sixpack. Congress has already pushed through legislation designed at curbing class action lawsuits -- a top priority of the corporate lobby. And the Senate has passed a bill that would make it much more difficult for people to declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy, another corporate top priority. The House appears poised to pass a similar piece of legislation.
What difference does it make that Bush poll numbers appear to be weak on all of the major issues that have come up so far in his second term? One of the enduring realities of the American presidency is that second terms are often politically tougher than first terms. What's unusual in Bush's case is that the public's typical second-term disillusionment began so early. In one sense, this matters little because Bush will never run for another election. But it could be an early sign of trouble for his party, especially when you consider that the Republican-run Congress's approval rating has dropped to its lowest point in nearly a decade, with only 40 percent or fewer approving of the job it is doing, according to several recent polls.
Among political professionals, the campaign season runs continuously. So even though there's little news about it in the nation's papers and broadcasts, both parties are already in the thick of candidate recruitment for the 2006 midterm congressional elections. Much is at stake. Elections in the sixth year of a presidency are typically perilous territory for the party of the president in power.
"There have been six of these elections in the post-World War II era (1950, 1958, 1966, 1974, 1986, and 1998). The average loss for the White House in these sixth year elections has been six Senate seats -- double the overall midterm average loss of three seats," wrote Larry J. Sabato, the director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, in a recent analysis.
A loss of six seats for Republicans would put Democrats back in control of the Senate. But averages are nothing more than academic debating points. In truth, each election has its own dynamic.
Clinton's Democrats lost no seats in 1998's congressional elections. But Eisenhower, who began his second term with significantly more popularity than Bush, saw his party lose 13 seats in the Senate in the 1958 midterm election.
"[Bush] got no real bounce out of the election," said nonpartisan election analyst Stuart Rothenberg. "He has had an ambitious but controversial agenda and doesn't start off with widespread support. And I think it's relevant a couple ways, both down the road and over the next six months. First it will affect candidate recruitment. And it will also impact his ability to intimidate the Hill."
Some left-wing activists are becoming increasing engaged in an effort to defeat the bankruptcy bill in the House. They appear to be energized not only by the president's troubles on the economy, but by their anger at the 18 Democrats broke ranks to support the bill in the Senate.
And the Schiavo case may complicate the GOP's efforts on other parts of its domestic agenda, particularly the nomination of conservative Bush appointees to the bench. Democrats are planning to use the Schiavo case -- and the disparaging comments made by congressional Republican leaders about the judges in that case -- to argue against the elimination of the filibuster in judicial nominations, which some Republicans are advocating.
Of course, none of Bush's problem matters if the Democrats can't get on the same page. Already the party has shown deep fissures on the Schiavo case as well as the class-action lawsuit and bankruptcy bills. Nearly as many Democrats voted for the Schiavo bill as voted against it, which will complicate the party's efforts to make a sustained case about GOP extremism in coming months.
The Republican triumph of 2004 was less about the electorate's overwhelming love for the Bush agenda than it was about the failure of Kerry and the Democrats to present an enticing and viable alternative and a cohesive vision for the future.
As it stands today, there's little evidence -- outside of the Social Security issue -- that the Democrats have changed all that much since Kerry's defeat in November. They don't appear positioned to take advantage of Bush's dropping poll numbers any more than Republicans are queuing up behind the president as a strong leader of the party. It seems in some ways that both parties are doing their best to lose.

Nina Dobrev Is Glad Katherine Is Gone from 'Vampire Diaries'

Talking about leaving one of her characters, Katherine, behind on the show, Nina shared that she wouldn't miss her that much: "Not as much as I missed my bed before Katherine was gone."
Nina continued, "I sleep more and I go to yoga more and so I think she had to go eventually and I'm glad that she went in the most epic way possible…being sucked into hell. So it was cool. If you're going to close on a character like that, that was the way to do it. I think we did her justice and I'm happy about that, but it will be sad because that character is fun to play."

From the name alone you can probably guess what the Uber Boiler is. Yes, it's a water boiler, and it's for people that take their coffee really seriously. Made by Marco, the Uber is actually a prototype "precise water delivery system" that is designed to give the user the exact amount of water they want at just the right temperature, without taking up much counter space.
The Uber Boiler above is the second version of the product. It has a scale built into its base that doubles as a drip tray, and it's actually even more impressive than the original. We could talk about how cool this thing is all day long, but if you don't own a coffee shop then chances are you won't ever be buying one. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see one in action though.

Just Launched – Google Local Results Tracking Added to SEOmoz PRO Rank Tracking Software
SEOmoz PRO just FINALLY launched a major update that added local (Google Places) results to their rank tracking solution and it looks like it has some pretty cool features. I have not tried it yet since I'm not a member. Have wanted to join, but held off since the tool previously didn't feature local results. I'll probably give it a spin soon.
Read the full post and see the screenshots over at the SEOmoz blog.
Universal Search Results in PRO – Part 1: Local Results
We've just shipped phase one of our support for Universal Search results, which includes data about local (a.k.a. places) results in Google search results. Whether it's a 7-pack or a blended result, if you care about local SERP results, it's often a pain to find out where you stand. We aim to help.
Be sure to also check out my Google Places Software & Free Local SEO Tools page which has other dynamite tracking solutions for Google Places.
Sorry I haven't been blogging. I have one new REALLY hot resource I want to share but I don't want it to get spammed to death or over-used, so am trying to decide if I should do a private post and only allow trusted marketers to view. (I know some major spammers/scammers read this blog, so need to be careful about sharing precious little known resources.) But that would require me having a list (which I should, but don't) or individually approving people that request to view, which is extra time and hassle I don't have. So chewing on that one. (Maybe I need to bite the bullet and get my Places forum launched, that way I could have a private member only section for hot tips like this???) Any ideas on how best to handle?
Now that I'm a Google Top Contributor I've also been spending all free time helping people on the Places forum, which cuts into blogging time. But once I get re-organized and get a couple client projects finished, hopefully I can do a better job of "keeping all my balls in the air!" (That comment's for you Mike!)

The Vampire Diaries: The new 'it' couple of Season 7 has been revealed
No, Bamon isn't happening, but The Vampire Diaries might have just introduced the next best thing.
In the flash-forward for tonight's episode, we got a glimpse into Bonnie Bennett's (Kat Graham) love life three years down the line — and, let's just say, it doesn't suck.
More: The Vampire Diaries: Stefan's new love proves he shouldn't be with Caroline
But it was a huge surprise!
Not only is Bonnie apparently getting treated for some kind of psychological problem after a clearly tragic event has left her in need of some serious professional help, but none other than Enzo tells her it's time for her to come back into the world because the gang needs her.
And if we were surprised to see Enzo show up to greet Bonnie, we were even more surprised to see Bonnie swoop on him with an excitedly passionate kiss.
That's right! Bonnie and Enzo are in love in just three years time.
But, back in the present, the two are at each other's throats, barely able to stand being in the same room together, let alone macking on one another.
Although, we did start to see the threads of attraction forming as Bonnie told Enzo he deserved someone better than Lily.
Oh, really? Maybe someone like her?
More: 9 Couples who could heat up The Vampire Diaries Season 7
It's also nice to see Bonnie finally upping her guy game and going for one of the vamps. Of course, we absolutely loved Bonnie and Jeremy together, but it was time for her to move on. It's been long enough that, although we miss Jeremy, we're ready to see where Bonnie's future takes her. Or, well, now that we've seen her future, I guess we should say that we're excited to see how she gets to that future with Enzo.
Admittedly, we really thought it was going to be Enzo and Caroline (Candice Accola) all the way. Caroline usually does call dibs on those bad boys.
On top of that, I know you fans out there were really rooting for a little Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie action while Elena is playing Sleeping Beauty.
Unfortunately for the Bamon fans out there, The Vampire Diaries' executive producer Caroline Dries assured us that their chemistry would continue to simply be the friendly type. Plus, it's kind of exciting to see Damon jumping on board as Bonnie's sidekick as they take down the heretics. So, clearly, friends it is. They've even become drinking buddies! That's how you know it's friend love with Damon, for sure!
More: The Vampire Diaries spoiler: Paul Wesley reveals the future for Steroline
Of course, it's also important to note that since Enzo is with Bonnie, that means there's one less potential fiancé on the show for Caroline. So who is her mysterious future husband if it's not Stefan, Tyler or Enzo? Is the show planning on introducing us to a new character in the very near future? Or is Caroline's future engagement all just a setup?
The mystery is killing us!
At least the show isn't keeping us hanging with Bonnie and Enzo. Shippers, get your name ready. Benzo? Enzonnie?

Free Chocolate! @ Saturday, March 24, 2012
Week 4, 2 projects submitted, completely forgot about a picture that was worth 5% of one, till hours after the closing time. Sick on Thursday, though we made it for the project task, on products, and all that jazz, with our focus on the fast food industry. Lost & Confused, and mr market is very friendly, I don't quite think he gets it. We received a set of guidelines, read: things to include, though it wasn't particularly helpful. It's due on Thursday, and at this point we're working on structure. My partner, S, and I also live pretty much on the opposites sides, with me in the South and him the West.
Missed a test, messaged mr padington (no that's not his real name, but the subject is two words, hence odd as a name) and he hasn't replied, and isn't going to. He said last time not to email him, because then he has to reply :P, can't believe we're actually paying for an education! Fortunately they're not all like him.
Highlight of the Week:
More pictures coming soon, in a week or two.

It is a very frequent occurrence that, in addition to strong geopathic stresses caused by water veins for example, strong electromagnetic stresses in the form of electric and magnetic fields occur.
The electrosmog Rayonator is an excellent product for supporting the Duplex which is adjusted especially to combat geopathic stresses in the field of electrosmog.
In analogy to the human organism, whereby an organ is not only controlled on one frequency, there are several resonance points on electric and magnetic alternating fields. The frequency analysis of an electric and a magnetic field via bioresonance according to Paul Schmidt results in six frequency basic values:
22.5;40.0;77.5; 78.5; 89.5 and 99.5.
Therefore electrosmog Rayonator and HF-Rayonator have inside of it dipole antenna systems which are coordinated precisely to match the aforementioned frequency basic values. If you then connect the Duplex with the electrosmog Rayonator or HF-Rayonator, the six frequencies as well as those of the geopathic stresses are emitted into the room via the electrosmog Rayonator. Simply place the Rayonator next to the base of the Duplex. Connect the Rayonator to the Duplex using the cable contained in the delivery. Insert one end of the white cable into the Rayonator and the other end into one of the connections on the Duplex base.
The electrosmog Rayonator or HF-Rayonator connected to the Duplex is very frequently used when it needs to combat both a geopathic and an electrosmog stress.

text: Home > Life BrandNews WATCH: Catriona Gray, Pat Dy compete for best photos at Masungi Georeserve Huawei Posted at Jun 05 2018 01:12 PM | Updated as of Jun 05 2018 02:15 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray took on professional photographer Pat Dy in a challenge to take the best shots. The photography duel using Huawei's P20 Pro was done at the Masungi Georeserve in Baras, Rizal. With its lush forest and jaw-dropping scenery, the nature reserve served as a fitting backdrop for Gray and Dy's photos. Their first challenge was to take landscape photos. According to Gray, the artificial intelligence-equipped P20 Pro helped her capture photos with ease despite the bright lighting brought by the sunny weather. "Even though it's super bright today and the contrast is quite high, the phone somehow softens the tone. When I see it with my bare eyes, it's quite contrasted. In the phone, it looks smooth and even," she said. Dy meanwhile marveled at the P20 Pro's AI mode. "What I like about the Huawei P20 Pro are the 19 AI modes. You can basically be anywhere shooting greens, landscape, macros, and the camera will help you achieve even better photos," said the photographer. Aside from capturing picturesque landscapes, Gray and Dy were also tasked to explore the trail and capture closeup shots. Dy, who has used multiple cameras and lenses during the course of his career, said the P20 Pro's camera gave him flexibility in capturing closeup shots. "[With] three taps optical and five times hybrid zoom, you can achieve those closeup shots even when you're far, and mix those images clear and sharp," Dy said.

text: Okay, I got this pure whitehat cpa campaign going which is running pretty smoothely. Volume is there but the only problem is,I don't have the funds to get all i could get. Now I could run this baby for some more weeks/months and with the help of weekly wires,build up a budget which puts me in the position to push this thing harder. But I want more,right now! So if you got some spare money to invest,we could figure out a deal to make this safe for us both without too much risk. As I know,the biggest risk always has the guy with the money. Pass me a pm if you got some funds on your hand.

What would you do if something happened to your computer? What if it were lost or stolen? What if it crashed or became infected by a virus? What if your computer just takes a dive off the table and is damaged? Have you protected important data stored on your computer?
I know I have a long way to go on this front. Thousands of pictures are not properly protected.
Files need to be backed up. It's past time to plug in my cell phone and iPad to back up data, and I have a lot of work to do to back up all the files on my blog.
A goal for this summer: find a system that's simple, effective and then schedule regular backups so I don't lose important information. And then I need to replace some of the old technology used in the past. How long will I be able to access the pictures and music stored on CDs? Better to re-save in a newer format while you still have devices to access the information.
Flash drives. External hard drives. Cloud storage. All can be effective. Find what works for you. Do you know how to use it? Is it easy? Can you schedule automatic backups? If not, schedule time to take care of this important task on a regular basis.
Don't push your luck. Back it up.

Every year the 28th July is World Hepatitis Day.
Started by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the aim of the day is to raise awareness, promote testing, call for access to treatment and better prevention programs, and to encourage action from governments across the globe.
World Hepatitis Day is one of only four official disease-specific world health days. Each year Viral Hepatitis kills 1.5 million people globally, and is the world's eighth biggest killer.
Globally World Hepatitis Day is co-ordinated by both WHO and the World Hepatitis Alliance. In 2014 it received a great amount of support with 80% of countries across the world taking part through organising events and raising awareness.
World Hepatitis Day in Scotland
In Scotland, we are fortunate that the Scottish Government take Hepatitis seriously and so the focus of the day is on raising awareness and encouraging testing for Hepatitis C and B.
We are part of a national campaign, working with Hepatitis Scotland, NHS boards and other charities, highlighting the advances in treatment that mean the vast majority of people living with Hepatitis C can clear the virus in as little as 12 weeks.
The campaign is targeting two groups in Scotland where Hepatitis C testing and treatment could have a real impact on their lives – people who have been at risk and never tested, and those who have been diagnosed but never treated. There are an estimated 36,000 people living with Hepatitis C in Scotland. but 40% of them haven't been diagnosed. Even among those who know they have Hepatitis C, many have never received specialist care.
People with Hepatitis C who are undiagnosed, or who are diagnosed but don't access medical care, are more at risk of serious liver damage associated with Hepatitis C and stand to benefit most from accessing testing and the treatment now available.
Our message to people who may have been at risk of Hepatitis C recently or in the past is to get tested. You can find out more about whether you've been at risk of Hepatitis C from the campaign website. The earlier that people can get tested, the better for their long term health. Support is available to help them through the process. For those who have a positive diagnosis but aren't getting support, we want to get the message out that effective treatment is available and that Hepatitis C can be cured.
To find out more about the campaign, including stories of people living with the condition, visit www.hepcscot.org.

Interestingly, the MUMi distances between W1481 with any strain of known subspecies were all above the defined cut-off, supporting our view that W1481 might be a novel subspecies. W1481 was distantly separated from all known subspecies compared to the distances between any pair of known subspecies (

The MUMi results were further supported by the ANI and AAI analysis (using the same set of genomes with W1481 as the reference genome) which also showed that the closest strain to W1481, belonged to
F. nucleatum
as shown in

, Supplementary Material online.
To further investigate the genomic structure and gene content of F. nucleatum W1481, we performed pan-genome analysis using the protein sequences of 21 F. nucleatum strains. All the genome sequences of Fusobacterium used in the study were also annotated using the RAST pipeline to ensure uniformity. The genome size of the strains analyzed ranged from 1.71 to 3.68 Mb with GC composition varying between 25.2% and 35.2%. An overview of all the 21 Fusobacterium genomes used in the present study is shown in table 1 . The results showed that F. nucleatum pan-genome contained 6,666 gene clusters which were composed of 880 (13%) core gene clusters, 2,850 (43%) dispensable gene clusters and 2,936 (44%) strain-specific gene clusters. The accessory genes (dispensable and strain-specific genes) which cover 87% of the total F. nucleatum pan-genome suggested that this species contains a very diverse genomic structure.
Hardy Diagnostics CatScreen™ is a rapid test for the detection of the enzyme butyrate esterase in bacteria isolated on culture media for the presumptive identification of Moraxella ( Branhamella ) catarrhalis .
The CatScreen™ is used to confirm the identification of Moraxella ( Branhamella ) catarrhalis when used in conjunction with chromogenic substrate tests or carbohydrate fermentations, oxidase reaction, Gram stain and morphology. For presumptive identification of M. catarrhalis , the CatScreen™ may be used along with the oxidase reaction, gram stain and colony morphology. (5)
The value of tributyrin hydrolysis for differentiating M. catarrhalis from Neisseria spp. was first reported by Berger in 1962. Subsequently, several authors have reported the usefulness of butyrate esterase in differentiating the two organisms using various substrates. (5) Butyrate hydrolysis is listed in standard reference texts as a key test in differentiating M. catarrhalis from Neisseria spp. (1,4,6)
Disks impregnated with bromo-chloro-indolyl butyrate serve as the substrate for the detection of butyrate esterase. Hydrolysis of the substrate by the butyrate esterase yields a chromogenic compound which appears blue to blue-green in color.
The CatScreen™ Kit contains 25 disks impregnated with 0.35% bromo-chloro-indolyl butyrate in a volatile organic solvent, followed by desiccation.

Welcome to part five in the series about managing your Office assets in a world of tablet computing. In part one I introduced the primary ways to consume Office with rich clients, remote rich clients, Office for Mac, Web Apps and Office on the phone. In part two I talked about consuming email on tablets using Exchange ActiveSync, compared the controls you get with other platforms to Group Policy and described options for configuring Office. In part three I wrote about the Office Web Applications as part of the SharePoint 2010 or Office 365 service. In part four I wrote about ways to differentiate resource access based on devices using IIS and UAG. The next major topic I'll discuss in this blog is how to tweak the user interfaces for remote access to Office environments running on Windows.
User Interface Customizations for Remotely Accessing Hosted Windows Desktops and Applications using a Touch Device
In part one of the blog series I referenced the phase "Post-PC Era" and discounted it a bit for those who still want to get real work done and for that need a pointing device and a keyboard. Applications developed for Windows over the years tend to assume that a keyboard and a pointing device exist and we will need to keep that in mind when I start to talk about optimizations we can make to Office and shell configurations for touch. I can say I know firsthand the challenges of using Office with touch navigation, as I use it that way about two hours per day in my car during my commute to and from Redmond.
While this is not an iPad, Android, or Windows slate, it presents the same challenges to be able to navigate a system with applications designed for keyboard and mouse. I'm going to relay some of my findings as I worked through configuring Office and Windows for primary touch use.
Tweaking Settings for Touch
In this example, the remote desktop or server will be the target of our "touch-friendlier" configurations. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) can be used to access a full desktop or a remote application window of a Windows Server RDS role installed. In either case we can do a couple of things to make the experience better.
Window Color and Appearance
If you navigate to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance" on a Windows machine and click on "Advanced appearance settings…" you will see this screen:
If you click on the "close" or "minimize" buttons it will toggle controls over to the Item called "Caption Buttons". I will set the size at around 40, but it really depends on the resolution you run on the remote desktop or RDS server and the screen size and resolution of the consuming device, so you may need to experiment a bit to get the size right. Likewise, if you click on the scrollbar area, it will select the "Scrollbar" item and you can set that to a size matching the Caption Buttons. These minor tweaks are invaluable when you consider how small the standard buttons can be on a 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab for example:
These changes make scrolling and closing applications possible, even though they may look a bit unusual if you are not used to seeing these controls modified. One nice thing about these controls is that if you access the remote desktop or server session with these configurations, they will be respected by an iPad or Android device using Citrix XenApp for example. If you access this window from a Windows device, it will adjust the Caption Buttons and Scrollbars to the size of the connecting device.
Customize Ribbon in Office
In the picture above you can see a custom default Office tab I called "iPad" and in a previous blog in the series I showed a Word ribbon with a "Touch" tab. This isn't some secret version of Office 2010 optimized for touch, but rather normal supported commands to customize the default Office ribbon. If you navigate in Word 2010 to "File\Options\Customize Ribbon" you will see a screen like this:
Here I have already produced a custom ribbon tab with larger controls. These will be more forgiving for touch use and the in this case Word will open with the "Touch" tab as the default tab. The result will look something like this:
Notice how each button is large enough for touch use and only a few core features are exposed. When we created the custom ribbon file, it saved an OFFICEUI file in the AppData folder for my user account:
The OFFICEUI file is comprised of basic XML and does not have an affinity to the user account where it was created, as seen below:
You can use this file as part of a default user profile and even copy these files into your Office installation media and use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) or config.xml as mentioned in part two of this blog series to copy this file into the correct location on your RDS server or standard remote desktop build.
The Resulting Experience
Once all of these changes are in place and the iPad, Android or Windows device can access the remote desktop, the user experience should be better than the default configurations. There are still many areas in the application Window where a pointing device would outperform touch using a finger. Here is the resulting look from an iPad with our customizations highlighted in red:
While it doesn't make every control and font optimal for the small screen touch experience, most common tasks are doable. These minor tweaks to the user interface will help save user frustration and help allow for the use of Win32 applications on non-Windows devices. Many organizations have thousands of customized line-of-business applications and rewriting the critical applications for a different platform may not be feasible.
One More Part in the Series to Come
I was honestly hoping to conclude the blog series with this fifth part, but soon realized that it would take another blog to describe how to configure the remote desktop environment. Part six will then be the final blog where I will discuss the common architectures to get a remote session on an iPad, Android or Windows device and show a few additional security configurations in the process.
Thanks for reading,

Conventional wisdom would suggest it's time to get out of the market about now. Both the utilities sector and the pharma sector are making noteworthy gains.
"It's a confusing thing," said Jim Cramer. "Pfizer and Lilly hit multi-year highs. Meanwhile, Dominion and Public Service Enterprises hit hit all time highs."
Typically when these defensive sectors advance, other areas of the market decline, especially those areas viewed as higher risk.
"You might think that means trouble lies ahead," said Cramer. But if you think that - you'd probably be wrong.

The thing about the well-selected vintage pieces used in this teaser in my very humble opinion, is that it adds, it gives a completely unique vibe to the entire outfit. And it's highly unlikely that you run into someone dressed in the same piece. I can't wait to see the full lookbook, which should be published on their blog by next week.

It's one of the biggest changes in the way Americans will travel the skies in the post-9/11 era: Starting Wednesday, each piece of baggage dropped off at airport ticket counters or curbside stands will be screened for bombs.
Roughly 10 percent of these bags - or 274,000 pieces of luggage each day - will be pried open by federal agents and searched by hand.
The change may already be altering the culture of flying - for instance, by prompting Americans to avoid packing chocolate, fruitcake, or other foods that look suspiciously like explosives to high-tech scanners. Americans' tendency to overpack has suddenly gotten riskier, too: Screeners may struggle to reclose a bag, meaning it could be delayed and miss its flight.
Yet, in a sign of the security of the times, federal agents pawing through underwear or toiletry kits is the latest piece of privacy many Americans seem willing to give up for safety's sake. And money appears to be little hindrance: The price tag for 5,700 baggage-screening machines needed nationwide is $1.3 billion. That doesn't include huge setup costs for the devices, which may become obsolete in as little as two years.
In all, the change marks the beginning of a massive effort to guard against suitcase bombs like the one that brought down Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland in 1988. And it's just one piece of the effort to boost airline security in the wake of 9/11.
"I will pack differently," says Freeman Lin, a university researcher traveling through Boston's Logan Airport.
He cites cheese and fruitcake as new packing taboos and says it's "a hindrance" that some screening machines can, for instance, ruin rolls of camera film. But it's worth the price, he says. "We've got to try" to improve security - even if current efforts are relatively crude.
Indeed, one reason so many bags are to be hand-screened is that the $1 million van-sized scanners - similar to hospital CAT-scan machines - have false-positive rates of roughly 35 percent.
So because peanut butter has about the same density as some explosives, a jar of Skippy can trigger an alarm. Once it does, a federal agent looks at a video image of the bag. About half the time, the agent decides the item poses no risk.
Otherwise, the bag is diverted to a second station. There screeners use a $45,000 device that can find traces of explosive material. To get the most accurate reading, however, the inside of the bag must be swabbed. So about 60 percent of the bags at this station will be opened.
In all, about 10 percent of the 1 billion bags Americans check each year will be opened by some of the 22,000 new federal baggage screeners. To speed this process, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) tells travelers not to lock their bags.
It will provide red cable-tie devices, which can be easily snipped off if needed, to protect luggage. If a bag is opened, a sheet of paper is put inside explaining the procedure - and a blue snip-off lock is installed.
Most airports will eventually put baggage-screening out of sight, so passengers won't be present if their bags are opened. But many travelers seem accepting of the new scrutiny.
"The loss of privacy is a major thing, but it's necessary," says Mary Harrild from Sharon, Mass., who was at Boston's airport recently. "There's a difference if someone's checking your bag without you knowing," she says. But now every traveler has been fully warned, so it's fair game, she adds.
Even privacy defenders don't have constitutional objections. "We believe these are justified administrative searches under the Fourth Amendment," says Barry Steinhardt of the American Civil Liberties Union in New York.
Complications come, however, if screeners find illegal items such as drugs. They're trained to report them to police - so they don't become virtual antidrug law-enforcement agents. But the reality may be more complicated: Screeners will have to decide whether to disrupt the flow of bags by taking time to call authorities.
With so many bags being opened, there's also the potential for theft. This month in Miami six airline baggage handlers were arrested for stealing from luggage. But the TSA hopes background checks and higher pay will limit the theft by screeners.
Still, while the airlines are liable for bag damage or stolen items up to $2,500 per passenger, the TSA is very vague about its responsibility for missing material.
"If we've gone through your bag, and you get to the hotel and something's not there, call us immediately," says spokesman Ed Martell. Issues will be handled case by case.
Finally there's the question of whether the process will actually prevent bombs from getting on planes.
Experts worry it's a one-dimensional system that, if breached, has little backup. Also, it's so labor-intensive that quality may fall off over time.
"There's a feel-good factor," says George Mason University aviation expert Ken Button. "But that becomes cumbersome after awhile, and the inspectors cease to be efficient." Yet clearly first steps are needed. "Right now we're crawling," says Mr. Lin, the Boston traveler. "Then we will walk, then run."

Synopsis from Goodreads:
The sign on Jake Helman's office door says Private Investigator, but this ex-cop's profession is more complicated than spying on cheating spouses. Over the course of two years, Jake has battled demons, zombies, even a cosmic monster—and he has paid dearly, both physically and emotionally, for his exploits.
Now on a quest to save his best friend's soul, Jake embarks on his greatest and most terrifying odyssey yet: from the streets of New Orleans to the nightclubs of Miami to the jungles of Pavot Island, where undead slaves harvest narcotics for a ferocious dictator.
But this time Jake isn't alone. Maria Vasquez, a beautiful NYPD homicide detective, joins him to rescue her former partner. With no backup and limited resources, Jake and Maria battle voodoo overlords, military troops, and an army of zombies. What will prove deadlier to Jake: the addictive drug called Black Magic, the return of an old enemy, or a vengeful demon plotting against him? Tortured Spirits is an action-packed, gore-soaked, supernatural thrill ride that will leave horror fans gasping for Jake Helman's return.
My Thoughts...
Ok, I know that for the most part I tend toward romance, but I gotta say that this series is probably one of the best I have read this year and I have read a lot of books! I do like horror and when you throw some paranormal/supernatural in there then I love it even more. The one thing that I love about book blogging is that I have been introduced to some really great authors and books that I would never have found on my own. Gregory Lamberson has definitely been added to that list. I read all four of these books in less than a week, some in less than a day and they are long books! Mr. Lamberson contacted me to review this book, which is the 4th in the series and was kind enough to send me all of them so I wouldn't be lost as far as the story is concerned. Oh, and he signed them all to me so they have a special place on my book shelf along with my other signed books!
I do think that if you want to read these books you should definitely start at the beginning of the series. The first book sets it all up and they all tie in to that original story in some way, at least they have so far. You could probably get along without reading the previous ones, but I wouldn't skip them. Here are the links to the books on Amazon and to my reviews on Goodreads. I did mini reviews on all of them instead of doing them all on here.
- Personal Demons (Jake Helman Files #1) - buy the book | Read my review
- Desperate Souls (Jake Helman Files #2) - buy the book | Read my review
- Cosmic Forces (Jake Helman Files #3) - buy the book | Read my review
This 4th book was my favorite of the series, so far. I have a feeling by the way this one is set up that I may like the next one even better! It's going to be really hard to do a proper review of this book with out posting any spoilers but I am going to try.
This book finds Jake in New Orleans, Miami and then to Pavot Island as he tries to help one of his friends. This book is really almost like a sequel to Desperate Souls. Maria is with him almost every step of the way in this one. She's been following him trying to find out what happened to Edgar. Earlier in the series Edgar tried to set Jake and Maria up, but Jake wasn't quite ready to be with anyone. It was clear that Maria was into Jake even then, but when Edgar disappeared she stepped back because she suspected that Jake had a hand in his disappearance. Now they are both at a point where they are ready and it's about time too!
In this installment we see a re-occurrence of Black Magic. Jake and Maria make a deal with a vodou practicer, in exchange for what they need from her they will rescue her husband from prison. He is a political prisoner on Pavot Island and has been for 30 years. Pavot Island is being run by a dictator who has a black Vodou Priestess working with him. Together they run the island and the slaves who work their drug crops. They are using Black Magic to control the Zonbies just like the priestess in Book 2 did. There is just one catch though, Jake and Maria know how to kill their Zonbies.
Jake and Maria find themselves smack in the middle of an uprising, thankfully they have people on the island who are helping them. There is a whole faction on the island that wished to see this prisoner liberated, but this doesn't mean that things are going to go smoothly for them. This book is more action packed than all of the last 3 books put together. It's pretty much non-stop from the moment they land on Pavot Island. Jake has been through a lot in the last couple years and doesn't let up in this book. There is a reason that this book is called Tortured Souls and unfortunately for Jake he learns this firsthand.
This book does have a little romance story line running through it and I think it's nice that Jake is able to have something nice a long with all the crap that gets thrown his way. I am anxious to see how thing progress for Maria and Jake as the series continues. This part of the story didn't have many return characters, but this one, like all the others does tie back to Tower Industries and some of the things in the very first book.
I highly recommend this series if you like horror. I don't think I would classify this horror as in a scary sense, but it does have the gory, creepy thing going on. It's unbelievable at times, but that's what makes a really great paranormal series. One thing is for sure, it's well written and Mr. Lamberson has a wild and vivid imagination and that shows through in every page of this series. I will be waiting on the edge of my seat for the next installment in Jake's story!

Right now, people won't see a big change in the economy because of the Ferguson riots. But, eventually the riots might indeed help the economy. While many Americans are in desperate civil distress, this distress and rioting will help bring others to our country to fight for our equality, in turn the money from these outsiders will help boost the economy twofold.
No, the Ferguson riots are not a positive for the economy. There is no impact whatsoever to the economy as far as the events in Ferguson are concerned. This is merely another social event that will quickly be forgotten and replaced with the next media incident. So in this instance, there is no impact to the economy whatsoever.
No, the riots have immediately caused damage to the local Ferguson community, through looting and other nonsensical violence. Although hard to equate, I believe these riots have also lead to damage being caused around the United States from those incensed and riled by the causes of the Ferguson riots. Any 'good' outcomes for the economy are extremely short term and noxious.
I very much disagree that the riots going on in Ferguson are good for the economy. Although I do think that it is good that people are standing up for their rights and trying to make their voices heard. I disagree with the officer not getting charged but I do not think fires had to be started and people to be shot.

Fine Arts & Art History
The Program of Fine Arts (Studio Arts beginning July 1, 2017) nurtures creative expression. We challenge our students to think beyond the classroom, to interpret the arts within a broader visual culture, treating the classroom as a testing ground for their ideas.
The Corcoran School of the Arts & Design promotes a critical approach, which is grounded in both contemporary and historical concerns. Graduate students have a range of options for studying the visual and creative arts and for developing visual literacy, as well as critical, analytic and research skills.
MA in Art History
Engage with ancient and modern works to discover new meaning
The Art History Programs encourage the pleasures of looking and direct, interpretive engagement with the visual arts. The Master of Arts degree in Art History offers students a curriculum from ancient to contemporary art. For some students, the MA is a terminal degree in preparation for curatorial or education careers in galleries, museums, and private concerns; for others, it is preparation to enter a PhD program elsewhere. In either case, students receive training for honing their research and writing skills. They may also take advantage of the many opportunities to experience and study works of art firsthand at the various museums and galleries in the region.
More information on the degree in Art History can be found here.
MFA in Fine Arts
Redefine the limits of art through experimentation and rigorous practice
The Fine Arts program fosters a rigorous and experimental approach to art making, while encouraging students to pursue their creative commitments in the studio and in the world. The program emphasizes a critical and creative relationship between content and form, an awareness of art historical connections and engagement with the contexts of creative production.
The MFA program at GW comprises a two-year commitment for emerging artists who wish to expand the material and intellectual dimensions of their work. The interdisciplinary nature of the program creates an environment where cross-pollination among fields flourishes. Simultaneously, graduate students enter into vibrant communities of peers, faculty and visiting artists: intensive studio visits and critiques facilitate reimagining the boundaries of art practice. All students receive their own studio space in which to experiment and further develop their skills and body of work.
More information on the MFA in Fine Arts can be found here.
Combined BA/MA in Art History
Cross traditional boundaries to engage with art in a fresh way
The combined Fine Arts and Art History major is a hybrid program of studio, art history and art theory courses. The program offers undergraduate art history majors excelling in their studies the opportunity to advance to graduate level coursework in their senior year and enter the master's program upon graduation. The combined major offers a platform where creative expression, research and theory are seamlessly explored and practiced. Combined majors are encouraged to cross conventional visual, technical and conceptual boundaries and engage with the history and traditions of art.
Students seeking more information on the Combined BA/MA in Art History are encouraged to visit the Department of Fine Arts and Art History website.

Resurgeance of Chaos
Home Page
In the beginning of time, the All-God Kral forged the world from the elements, and bent Chaos into Order. The humans of the world lived in prosperity in a utopian land, but war erupted before long among the numerous nations. On the dawn of the second millennium since the world's founding, a cataclysm, known today as "The Exposure," decimated the continent and nearly eliminated all life. Kral managed to save his creations, but not before they had been exposed to the raw power of the elements, leaving them forever changed into elemental "tribes."
Many years later, as The Exposure fades into memory, one man grew from humble roots into a terrifying enemy of the world, supposedly claimed and empowered by Chaos itself. His name, forever scarred into the tomes of history: Lur'Dal. One former friend of this madmen scoured the world for paragons of each of the tribes to band together and defeat his schemes. And so Lur'dal was indeed defeated, but not before claiming many lives including his friend.
Again, time continues. Lur'Dal has passed into near legend and myth, and the six who banded together have ascended to become gods. The Ice Tribe mobilizes against the world, tensions are high among all nations, and strange occurrences have arisen globally. It is time new heroes rose to the call.

Antigua and Barbuda celebrates historic arrival of the MS Anthem of the Seas
St. John's, Antigua (December 2, 2016) – One of the largest cruise vessels in the world, and the largest cruise vessel to dock into Antigua and Barbuda, the MS Anthem of the Seas, made her presence felt in Antigua and Barbuda today, as she towered over other vessels in Heritage Quay, on her inaugural arrival into Antigua with a host of fan-fare and celebrations from the Government and People of Antigua and Barbuda.
Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Asot Michael extended a warm and hearty welcome to both Royal Caribbean International and MS Anthem of the Seas, her Captain and Crew, during the inaugural ceremony on board the vessel.
The Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda, Sir Rodney Williams, The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, The Hon. Gaston Browne, over 200 Government officials, dignitaries, stakeholders and invited guests were present for the on-board inaugural ceremony this morning.
In speaking to the Captain of the vessel on the inaugural visit, the Tourism Minister said, "We view this visit as a true sign of the confidence that Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has in Antigua and Barbuda as a marquee destination capable of offering a first class experience to your cruise guests.
"We could not have thought of a more fitting way to commission the extension and improvements of our Heritage Quay Pier but to have history record that the Anthem of the Seas was the first ship to use these facilities on her inaugural voyage to our shores! So your arrival is an inaugural event – not just in terms of your visit, but for the seminal moment that it marks for our growing cruise industry overall."
The Heritage Quay pier was extended to accommodate the large quantum class vessel. The commissioning of the extension of the pier is scheduled to take place later this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. with another event, where hundreds of Antiguans and Barbudans have been invited to share in the historic moment.
To further mark the occasion, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, has also announced that duty free shopping will be implemented throughout the Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay area in celebration of the inaugural visit.
Duty free shopping is extended to all residents without the requirement of proof of travel that normally indicates that the goods purchased are leaving the country. This will be for one day only on Friday 2nd December from 9:00 a.m. 9:00 p.m.
This inaugural event will be celebrated with major activities in the Quay well into the evening after the ship has departed.
The 4220 passengers plus 1603 crew will have a major economic impact leading into the busy Christmas shopping season.

When It Rains, Your Outdoor Television Needs Rain Case
As more and more people are extending their homes into outdoor living spaces, more and more people want their television to come with them. Whether they want to have everyone over for the big game or that special awards show party, the time has come for more outdoor viewing of televisions. Along with this trend comes a rather obvious need -- a way to keep the television safe from the elements and from thieves.
Enter Joe Engle and his invention -- the Rain Case, a flat panel television enclosure. The case is designed to protect outdoor TVs with handsome style. It will keep most 32" size screens safe from the weather, dust, and insects. It also comes with a lockable latch to deter would-be thieves bent on a quick snatch and works with any universal mount.
While testing the prototype he realized that the Rain Case also needed to be portable to that people can also take their television along for tailgating, use with the RV, camping, or any other venue where electricity is available. So the case became a hybrid to increase the versatility of the product.
The aluminum body is coated with natural powder coatings made of 70% recycled materials, create virtually no VOC emissions, and require less energy to cure than most standard powder coatings. It also meets the requirements for the U.S. Green Building Council.
The project to get his invention to market goes live on Kickstarter today as Engle seeks initial funding in the amount of $20,000 to begin manufacturing the Rain Case. This includes set up and the cost of materials, hardware, and labor.
For more information or to become a backer, look for Rain Case on Kickstarter.com. You can also follow Joe Engle and Rain Case on Facebook.
We at InventorSpot.com wish inventor Joe Engle and his invention the Rain Case lots of luck. and a successful KickStart.

"How do I put one of those cool front ends on my bike?"
Ever since our first XS850-to-R6 swap hit the motosphere, we've received hundreds of emails asking that same simple question. We've answered it so many times that we joked we would put the instructions on a T-shirt and sell it for $100.
Instead, we feel that our triple tree swap/exchange is the best of all worlds and is the safest, most hassle-free way of getting the job done. In short, it's the simplest way to do something that is doggone complicated.
This service covers literally thousands of potential swap combinations, allowing you to put almost any modern inverted (USD) sport bike or motocross-style fork on your older bike. You'll be bolting on decades worth of suspension and braking improvements in no time.
And your trusty motorbike will be rockin' a decidedly Classified Moto look. Yes, indeed.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. After obtaining a modern front end (we get ours from salvage yards and off eBay from highly rated sellers) you will need to send us the following items:
1. Your bike's lower triple tree (the part with the stem in it)
2. Your new front end's lower triple tree
3. Your new front end's upper triple tree yoke
That's it. There's no need to send fork tubes, brakes, controls or any other bits that might have come with your new front end. (The only possible exception is bearings. See below.)
All parts must be in good shape, with no damage to components or threads. Pack them extra carefully so there's no metal on metal action. All common sense stuff here. You should be able to send everything to us Priority Mail Flat rate for under $25.
After checkout, please send your parts to:
Classified Moto
2000 Starling Drive #70614
Richmond VA 23255
*Please include basic details of the project (i.e., bike info and front end info — year, make and model).
We will then do our hocus pocus and return to you a set of hybrid triples ready to bolt on to your bike.
BEARINGS: Your new hybrid triples will require tapered roller-style bearings made to fit YOUR BIKE, not your new front end. If you order from a third party, be sure to get the right ones. We offer All-Balls-brand upgrade kits to fit most bikes for $42. If you purchase a set from us we can press the lower bearing onto your stem free of charge in most cases. (Some bearing sets come with a choice of spacers which can only be measured properly with the bike present. In these cases you'll have to install the lower bearing yourself.)
PLEASE DO NOT SEND THIRD PARTY BEARINGS WITH YOUR TRIPLES. We can't install them unless they were purchased through us. If you want to purchase bearings from us, select "Swap With Bearings" at checkout and let us know the year, make and model of your bike.
TIMING: We're usually able to turn these around pretty quickly, but depending on workload, it can take up to four weeks. In those rare, emergency front end swap situations, we can arrange for a rush order for additional charges.
OPTIONS: Please see drop down menu to add new bearings and/or custom upper triple clamp to you order.
SHIPPING: We DO ship to all countries even if the site says we don't. That "no-ship" message appears if we have not calculated postage for a particular country. If you don't see your country listed, just email us and we'll add it.
As ever, if you have questions about this swap or other projects, we're happy to help if we can. Email us through this site or send to email@example.com.
Now go get to swappin!
