Will the real N.C. State team please stand up?
To tell the truth, it's hard to figure out if the Wolfpack under first-year head coach Kevin Keatts are the dangerous squad that has knocked off Arizona and Duke when each was ranked No. 2 in the country or the same old knuckleheads from seasons past that have already lost five games to unranked teams, including UNC Greensboro.
The answer is both, and both were on display Thursday night in a 78-77 win at home vs. No. 19 Clemson.
The Pack (12-5, 2-2 ) were good enough to build a double-digit lead late in the game and dumb enough to almost give it all back before escaping when Clemson missed a free throw in the final second.
The good N.C. State better show up Sunday at No. 3 Virginia (15-1, 4-0), the only ACC team left unscathed through the first two weeks of league play. The 6 p.m. start will be televised by ESPNU.
The Cavaliers as always are playing the best suffocating half-court defense in all the land, and Tony Bennett has more athleticism and offense than in recent seasons. Virginia by 10.
Saturday's Games
No. 20 North Carolina (13-4, 2-2) at No. 25 Notre Dame (13-4, 3-1), 6 p.m. on ESPN – Bet you didn't know this stat – Notre Dame's overall victory total (97) and league wins (49) are the best of any program ever in its first four years in the ACC.
But history lesson aside, the Tar Heels couldn't pick a better time to come into Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are missing their top two players and leaders, seniors Bonzie Colson (broken foot) and Matt Farrell (sprained ankle).
Colson is out until late February, Farrell's return date is uncertain but the point guard is not expected to play in this one. North Carolina by 7.
No. 18 Miami (13-2, 2-1) at No. 19 Clemson (14-2, 3-1), 3 p.m. on ESPNU – There are no more Hofstras and Samfords on the Tigers' schedule.
Clemson's 10-game winning streak ended in Raleigh Thursday night, and this is the first of four straight games against ranked opponents.
Miami has played just once in 10 days, but it was a sold win last week against Florida State. Clemson by 2.
Wake Forest (8-8, 1-3) at No. 7 Duke (14-2, 2-2), noon on WLOS/Ch. 13 - After a rough start to ACC play that included a 1-2 record and allowing more than 90 points a game, the Blue Devils turned to a soft league schedule to get better.
A 14-day stretch of five games includes two meetings each against lightweights Pittsburgh and Wake Forest, sandwiched around a trip to Miami.
Duke began the cupcake diet with a 35-point win at Pitt.
The Demon Deacons are tumbling, losers are four of their last five. Duke by 13.
UNC Greensboro (11-5, 2-1) at Western Carolina (7-9, 3-1), 7:30 p.m. on ESPN3 – Peruse the Southern Conference stat sheet and it makes you wonder how the Catamounts are off to such a good start in league play?
WCU is at or near the bottom in a lot of categories, but third in the only important one – the standings. Coach Larry Hunter's gritty bunch seems to produce a different hero in every game as the Cats have clawed back from a 3-7 start.
In the second of three straight home games at the Ramsey Center, WCU has a chance to put itself in good shape for a run at a first-division finish.
Greensboro is playing well under coach Wade Miller, having won six of eight but coming off a 10-point loss Thursday at league leader East Tennessee State, which shares the top spot with Furman at 4-0. Greensboro by 4.
Last week: 5-1 overall and against the spread. For the season: 10-2 overall, 7-5 against the spread.

Each cell of the body is like a tiny battery, and raw and living foods supply the bio-electricity which charges these batteries. The bio-electrical energy of the raw food can be seen in Kirilian photographs. This photographic process shows electrical discharges that naturally emanate from all living things as luminescent, aura-like flares surrounding the subject. The glow is bright and radiant in raw foods (as seen on the left), yet much weaker in cooked foods (as seen to the right).
Cooked foods are lacking elements for optimal functioning; including enzymes, oxygen, hormones, photochemicals, bio-electrical energy, and life-force. When foods are heated above 105 F they begin to lose all of these. By 118 F, most food is "dead". Vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are delivered to the digestive tract in a greatly altered state causing the intestinal tract and organs to produce a surge of white blood cells (leukocytosis) creating a defensive inflammation in the gut and intestinal tract, blood stream, and vital cleansing organs.
Raw food are full of oxygen, especially green leafy vegetables which contain an abundance of chlorophyll. The chemical structure of chlorophyll is almost identical to the hemoglobin in our red blood cells. The only difference is that the hemoglobin molecule has iron in its nucleus and the chlorophyll molecule has magnesium. Chlorophyll detoxifies the bloodstream and every other part of the body better than anything else you could eat...sprouted seeds contain vital elements which nourish our glands, nerves and brain. The hormones needed by the body are created out of the natural fat and essential minerals found in sprouted nuts and seeds.

Our return to optimal health starts with an anti-inflammatory diet offering; detoxification, oxygenation and nutritional support to the cells.

out of general interest, what are peoples thoughts on this:
i'm fairly sure you can guess mine, but i won't bias anyone...
he's got a point
but I'm damned if I support something he's doing.
He's obviosuly got plenty of experiance in these areas:
"such as more routes for pedestrians, better public transport"
do you think?
what point is that?
most towns look exactly the same. But that's not something that can be solved with different architecture.
how does making them look like old buildings help that?
for my money, the urban design element is fine. but it's annoying that the press don't realise that architectures moved on since corb and we don't do "object" buildings as much.
his ideas on aesthetics and other things are utterly destructive and shouldn't be publicised though.
I agree with you.
He's an old man with old views, and frankly he should take a leaf from his mum's book and shut up.
However, I worry about urban redevelopment. There's so much building work going on in Manchester right now- they've torn a lot of buildings down, good and bad, and replaced it with this steel and glass thing that's heavily in vogue. Some of it's good- Piccadilly Station, the Northern Front, the Citadel, even Urbis- but a lot of it makes you think "yeah, well modern" but you know in ten years time it's just going to be like the sixties tower blocks in Salford- an embarrassment. More thought needs to go into these things, as well as more variety.
certainly true
urbis is crap though.
manchester is quite nicely designed now though. in urban terms. the architecture at the end of the day is down to taste.
i like big concrete blocks. i don't like glass things. i don't expect anyone to agree.
though there is far too much of a modern shine being applied to things by developers as a selling point. and too little imagination to it.
I agree with you to an extent
but too many concrete buildings just end up looking dated and decrepit. Plus, they often get graffiti on them. Glass is easier to maintain but I do think that many of the new buildings being build will date horribly. Look at the new mayors office, it looks dated already and it was only built a few years ago. I think what Charles is saying has merits but he's a traditionalist.
no i agree
i think there's a level of maintenance that concrete requires that most people can't afford.
i'm more suggesting that i like the scale and bravado of it, which a lot of people don't. but i think that the issues pinned to concrete are urban design issues that seem to get ignored in favour of stylistics.
Manchester's excellently designed.
My dad says it's better than he's ever seen it, and he's lived here for 56 years. I loved how the old victorian stuff segues into the newer stuff, and left all those great, grotty little alleyways. I just think things like all the posh apartments that are going up just look...tasteful, but so flat and uninspiring. It's like New Labour for architecture.
i kinda don't consider them architecture. they're just buildings.
there are some really nice things there though.
and the city is actually lovely to walk through, the squares connect so well, and its just the right size.
All he's arguing for....
...is not building a mini-mall in a city when you copuld just populate the area with shops
I can see the point, but I think that the assumption that cities will be more attractive done this way is wrong.
Beautiful landscapes and uildings don;t happen organically.
well, they do
but the point is you can't force it to happen organically.
I haven't had the chance to read it all the way through.
But it looks like he's trying to make towns look like all the architecture was from the same period and building buildings that mimic architecture from 60+ years ago. Why can't we have progressive, forward thinking projects?
I started to reply
but I really cant be arsed
general opinion
Renovation of Lincoln?
Why not start on a town that fucking needs it. He's a cunt, his ideas are shit, and I'm angry and slightly drunk.
they're really really bad drawings :D
i think they're sweet, i'd be ashamed to hand them in though.
Judging by his artists rendering, his vision for Lincoln involves repopulation with superintelligent clouds of green vapour.

hi . i bought a samsung D880 DUOS. the problem is i my sent items and outbox are always empty.. even if i always send messages daily.. i rili nid it.. specialy the sent items because sometimes i need to send messages twice for my friend to recieve it faster.... can anyone help me? please do email me if you're willing to help. thanks.... ^_^
not sure if anyone in the UK on the 02 network is experiencing the same mms problems but i found some interesting posts on the xda devleopers websites about problems with the UK 02 network and phones that arent recoginised. apparently if a non supported phone is used the network will send the lowest resolution picture to ensure it reaches the recipient.
the guys on the xda developers webiste were able to resolve this by changing their windows phone registry to fool the network into thinking it was a supported phone.
i wouldnt even know where to start or know if there are sites out there where people would be developing this sort of code for non windows phones.
does anyone know how to change the phone registry or is there anyone on here that has used the D880 on the O2 network in the UK?
is anybody know, how to install applications on "samsung D880 duos"?
i recently bought a d880 handset,, i need to install some java application on my phone..
please help me
is anybody know, how to install applications on "samsung D880 duos"?
i recently bought a d880 handset,, i need to install some java application on my phone..
please help me
Hi i live in the UK and i have two sims from O2 in the phone and it works great but i have a problem with the mms settings and picture messaging! The problem is when i recieve a picture message it is recieved about one quarter of the size from the sender. for example if a 24KB pisture is sent to the D880 it appears as a very small picture about 4KB in size. a 4KB pic is next to uesless!if i remove the mms setting it actually knows there is 24KB picture incoming but obviously cannot retrieve it because the setting isnt there. i have obtained the mms settings from samsung and they look correct and also match the settings in my SE W810i and others posted on the web.i have also tried the various message classes in the mms settings but no joy.i am begining to think its a setting in the phone i have overlooked or there is a problem with the phone. has any one seen a similiar problem with this phone before or know how to resolve this?
Just got the phone today, I thought everything would be perfect but my only rant about this phone is that you can't assign a different alert tone for your SMS.
BTW can anyone help me with assigning different ring tones for the two sims?
This hone is BAD!
I've got dual SIM phone from unknown Asian company, and it's GREAT: TV, 1800MaH battery (lasts for over a week!!!) and much more...for half price of this phone...I really dislike Samsung...specially this model
Let me clear some doubt.
1. This phone can make call, receive call, send and receive SMS simultaneously. No Reboot require.
2. To dial from second sim, key in the number, select phone book record, type sms and press the little button on top of the volume control to switch to second sim.
2. To check file in memory card, go to My File and press "#" key.
3. To change ringtone, Setting-Phone Setting-Phone profile-select the profile and click OK to proceed.
4. Chinese character are supported.
5. To turn on loudspeaker, press OK button when you in the call.
6.Secret code, *#0206*8378# , you can modify alot thing but use at your own risk.
hope that i would able to help out, if i have mistake on above guide, please do correct me. Thanks
Hi All, i just bought this phone week ago. All i can say is there are pro and con for this phone.
Duo Sim which work together in receiving and calling, sms as well.
Different ringtone for two different SIM card.
Large screen and clear
3MP camera
Battery life is fairly poor, have to charge everyday due to heavy sms and phone call.
Ringtone is a bit soft compare to Nokia and SE.
No flash for camera
Cannot install JAVA software
irritating tone after unlock, setting save..etc
No 3G
limitation of playlist
Does the D880 have a full screen option for video viewing? my D600 had a function which flips the video sideways for a larger screen size. Anyone?
Does the D880 Duos work with 2 sim cards from different service providers? or it has to be the same sp?
both sims are working but only one is the primary one. if the phone rings and i don't pick it up than the answering machine will start but i don't know how to retrieve the messages or shut the answering machine off.
I'm traveling in India through Tamil Nadu and Kerala since a week. Really good continuous coverage with both SIMs, one belgian and one swedish. Works really well. No problem in switching cards.
There is a problem listening to your voice box messages, when I connect to belgian proximus and tap in my belgian GSM number, the service says it is wrong. The client service can't explain. (he answering machine obviously isn't in the phone). For that matter, it wouldn't work with an Ericsson T39 either, so the fault is not with the phone.
My main objection is that you can not voice dial a number using a spoken command and that I can't write an SMS on my Palm TX and transfer with bluetooth to the Duo 880 to be sent. Both this I can do with several other phones (Ericsson, SE). Also, it seems that you can not download java programs other than some games.
Hello All
I have D880 and i coulding find the Ring Tone option & stting is there anyone to Help me
best regards
Email me please firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello all,
I have the D880 also and I can't find how to listen to my answering machine on it or deactivate it. I looked in the manual and all through the phone but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know where to access the answering machine from?
Many thanks

Is it just me or does it seem like there's nothing daylight savings about daylight savings time?
Where is the daylight then?
These Vancouver winters really hit me in my wet little heart right about mid-March with incessant rain and gloom and rain and make me long for Mexico or Spain or anywhere warm and dry for 24 hours together.
Today I've been all over town, all day, in the rain. Finally got home exhausted, with two feet of frizzy hair and wet shoes and turned the heat on.
I stood at the kitchen sink and waited for the large pot to fill up with water and looked at the English ivy.
I swear it's trying to take over the world. There must be something about the humidity or the warmth or the big kitchen window that this ivy just loves, or maybe it's some spring fever ivy thing, because it's growing like crazy, almost right before my eyes.
There's something about ivy in the house that I love, and it's one of those "plants that will not die" which tend to be planted in the garden after they've outlived their interior usefulness or outgrown their pot. (Others just get composted, I know, I'm ruthless. It's a make it or get composted kind of world.)
This ivy wants to grow into the sink. I suppose it has a good look at the surroundings and thinks, "hey, a big farm sink, loads of room to spread out there!" But it keeps getting its little tendrils singed.
Tomorrow there is still a forecast for heavy rain, but tomorrow will be an easier day because I'll be working from home. From my snug little studio.
Oh, and just realised there's still half of the yummy Irish soda bread (with currents) left for breakfast. I'm starting to warm up already.
Hope your day was warmer and drier than mine, my little wet hearts. 🙂

If the other parent will not allow me to see my children, do I have to pay support in Florida?
The simple answer to your question is yes and that's because generally child support is going to be established by a court order, so if you stop paying child support, you'll be in violation of that court order. There are other ways to solve your problems. If you have questions, seek out a qualified attorney.

Utah athletic director Chris Hill says he likes to include a big game on the Utes' football schedule about every four years, so each player in the Utes' program can experience the thrill of playing against a big-time program once during their careers.
Now, a lot of Ute players will get the chance to play two such games.
Besides playing at Michigan this season (Aug. 30), Utah will play at Notre Dame for the first time in history on Nov. 13, 2010, in South Bend, Ind. The deal was finalized on Monday, a couple of months after word first leaked out about about a possible Ute-Fighting Irish game.
"We don't usually like one-way games, but when something like this presents itself, we want to take advantage of it," Hill said. "What a great opportunity not only for our team but for our fans."
The game came to fruition because of Hill's friendship with former Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White, who recently left for Duke. Ute and Irish officials went back and forth before completing the deal Monday. Utah will receive a guarantee of $950,000 for the game.
To make room for the Notre Dame game, the Utes had to suspend their series with Utah State for two years but will resume the longtime series in 2012.
"We are appreciative that Utah State has agreed to temporarily suspend our annual series," Hill said.
"We are committed to continue our series with Utah long term," said USU athletics director Scott Barnes. "Short term, we needed some open dates in 2010 and 2011 ... We now have the freedom to build a more balanced schedule that will include six home games every year."
Utah's other non-conference road game in 2010 will be against Iowa State on Sept. 18 with a home game scheduled against San Jose State on Sept. 25. The Utes will need to find another home game for that season and a road game for the following season.
"We're working on it right now," Hill said. "We just need to find somebody for a home-and-home series."
Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham is happy his team has a chance to play perhaps the most storied program in college football.

Many people not yet familiar with Yoga and often asked what yoga is? What yoga can do for your body? Is it appropriate? And more. Yoga is the very precise of body weight postures and several movements that had been designed to improve your body in several essential parts..

Usually, they are including of these categories: the core poses, forward bends, balancing poses, inversion poses, restorative poses, standing poses, arm balanced poses, seated and the twisting poses.
You also need to perform many varieties of breathing techniques as well. Several ancient wise men realized that people spend most of their time to breathe, and this is so essential, so proper Yoga pays more attention to learn how to optimize and control your breath as well. There are many people also try to get Yoga workouts at home, usually only include simple poses.
Every pose has several versions, come from beginner and advanced versions. Derived from the simple one to the extremely advanced as well. The beginner version can be done by everyone, regardless of their capability. The poses were balancing carefully, so your body can work evenly, such as the forward bend poses and then followed by the backward bend poses, the left side will be followed by the right and inversion also following the standing.
There are several sequences of pose, such as: the Sun Salutation which also an important ritual or also known as yogic pushup/ stretch that can be done only in few minutes. There is also Moksha Series that takes around an hour to complete and contains many yoga poses that will benefit your health greatly.
Why you do Yoga?
Anyone can do yoga, no matter how you look, how your dress, how much your weight, how old are you, what you are doing for life, what your religion and more. Keep in mind that Yoga is no exclusive thing at all. You might have certain conditions which make it more challenging or harmful when you were trying a particular type of Yoga, the breathing technique or certain poses.
However, there is a possibility that can be your better alternative which should be assisted by an experienced Yoga instructor. If you are 55 years old and very inflexible, you can start with gentle class until you feel comfortable to move into more challenging stage. Do not say ok with pain. It's all right when you are facing several dis comfortable things, but the pain is the way that can tell you to back off as well.

If you do not have any physical activities, then it is better to try Yoga. If you properly try yoga, then it will become a comprehensive fitness which can make you flexible, healthy, active, and happy for the rest of your life as well. Keep in mind that Yoga is fun. This comes from an adult who never tries to stand up with one foot and mimicking the tree.
It allows you to try something new without any fear. This is a great opportunity for those who have open minded and wanted to learn something new and challenging. It teaches you about yourself and how you will handle frustration when falling six times when you try to figure out Crane Pose and more exciting things. You should know that Yoga is reconnecting your mind and body into a beautiful thing, improving your whole body, and increasing self-awareness.
If you were an athlete, yoga is also a great option. Yoga is the perfect supplement for any sports. No matter if its weightlifting, badminton, or other sports, Yoga will fill up the gaps in your training; make sure that you do not have a weak connection in your muscular-skeletal system. The high point is Yoga also speeds up your recovery and increase your performance, as well as increasing your life quality.
The more abstract word which had been used for several teachers were considered as the fancy images that can guide your posses.
Yoga can be done with bare feet on the Yoga mat. Even the most basic of stretching also need clothes which allow to move and stretch, so this is better to wear your most comfortable cloth which allows you to move easier. If you join with gentle or slower class, you can try to wear the warm outfit, such as long sleeve shirt and the sweatpants as well. However, If you join with fast-paced classes, you should wear the tank top and short pants.
Several classes use additional equipment, such as chairs, straps, bolsters, blankets, and blocks. You do not need to buy these extra pieces of equipment when you are just starting Yoga. If you are joining their studio class, they will provide all of the things that you need. However, if you are participating in online class or try out Yoga workouts at home, then you need the Yoga mat and other additional equipment.
If yes, there is an easy way to replace these Yoga props, such as you can use rope instead of a strap. Even several Yoga teachers also frequent recommended several alternatives for those who do not have props in a specific class.
Of course, you should buy Yoga mat when you choose to get Yoga workouts at home. However, most of the studios provide you with free or rental Yoga mats, but they are typically plastic cheap mat, and you might feel more comfortable with your own mat.
Yoga mats also come in wide range of sizes and materials, so it's better to educate yourself, especially if you look for free toxic mats and could support your joints, such as wrists and knees. Many options are available, so it could make you dizzy; however, you can read several reviews from the most popular Yoga mats, and it can be purchased online as well.
What you should know before trying your first Yoga?
There are standard rules which were similar in any classes such as, come early, do not disturb the teacher and do not wear perfume at all. Questions are welcome, but it's better to ask at the beginning or closing class, depending on how many students. However, if you prefer to perform Yoga workouts at home, you can do it on your own. You should know that each instructor has their own approach of teaching.
Some of them prefer to focus on the physical posture, while some of them prefer on mediation. Some of them also perform adjustment to their students while the others do not. Your experience from one class with other class can be so different. For example, they both teaching about Power Yoga, but the teachers have very different style.
Yoga classes aimed to become a place where you feel comfortable and feel cared for, this is a workout without any judgment. You do not have to worry if you cannot catch up as anyone did. It's more important to step forward based on your pace to ensure that you do anything safely. Even, you do not need to know the name of the pose for participating.
Most of instructors will provide clear instruction and tip for the positioning and alignment as well. The main focus is toning your body throughout challenging physical exercise and improving your health through better flexibility, relaxation and the body awareness.
If you do not have much time to join in Yoga class, there is an alternative by following several Yoga workouts online program which means you can do yoga at home, typically you perform in simple poses:
1. Strength workout with power Yoga flow
- You can try to raise your leg to warrior in 3 x 10
- Performing eagle squat in 10 times
- Warrior two lifts in 10 times
- The crescent lunges in 10 times
- Push up in 10 times
- The goddess squats in 10 times
- The spinal balance then pulse off in 10 times
- Downdog to the beast in 10 times
- Single leg raise in 10 times, then continuing with bridge in 1 minimal time
- The side plank with toe tap in 10 times
You can rest with for 2 minutes and take a deep breath, and then you can repeat these flows on opposite side. This Yoga routine is a good option for beginner and can be done in your every morning. If you follow this routine, you will increase your strength gradually, having better balancing and flexibility. You can complete these steps and BE CAREFUL, do not force any poses that make you do not feel right in your body.
These flows are including of side planks, bridges, side planks and raising the leg which can create your Yoga routine increasing your great balance as well as toning your muscles.
2. Try long and lean full body flow pose
- Rotated in side angle prayer
- Downward position in facing dog
- Posing the warrior one
- Reversing the warrior
- Half moon pose
- The bound extended in one side angle
- Spreading your legged forward in bend
- The open lizard pose
- Pigeon pose
- Seating with spinal twist
- Half wheel pose
- The savasana pose
Thank for many sources which provide many Yoga poses that you can do at home. Everything that you needed is a laptop, wifi, and your Yoga mat. This is an alternative if you cannot join any Yoga classes near your houses. The Full Body Plow Pose routine more focuses on the stretching which can relieve your back pain along with building your muscles and burning out your fat. It's an excellent workout for you to do in the morning when you are trying to wake up without having morning coffee shot.
Although Yoga classes are so inspiring, for some people who cannot adjust their busy schedule, these routine above might be a great alternative. You can watch several videos from many sources, or follow online class, which is more flexible that can meet with your time.
How you can know which Yoga style that you should perform first?

If you never tried Yoga before, the best place to start for many people is beginner Yoga class hatha. Hatha class focused most of it on physical posture, as opposed to meditation, mantra and the pranayama. You will move slow enough to maintain your focus in safer alignment. As mentioned before, this is also depending on your teacher as well. There are many places that you can start; you can even learn from Yoga videos for beginner through many sources.
You can follow online programs that provide you with several hatha Yoga routines for beginner. If you are 55 years or more, you might prefer to take a gentle or particular class for seniors. You can find the senior classes in several places, or to find it online and try to follow that routine at home. If you think that you are so inflexible, you do not need to feel any shame.
You will get the same benefit as others get, but you might spend more time to notice the effect. You might consider getting yin Yoga which holding poses longer and gaining more meditative sense. If you are in fit enough condition, you can enjoy challenging Yoga workouts, and the power Yoga can be the right choice.
How often should you get Yoga?
If you can practice Yoga at three times in a week, you might notice several significant improvements in some areas, such as better flexibility, strength, balance, motion, get better sleep quality, better ability to manage your stress, happiness, and overall well-being as well. Because everyone body is different, the results will be also different for each person. You can perform Yoga routines for the beginner in 1 or 2 times per week that will help you increase your flexibility or help you lose weight.
Usually, you can see the improvements of yoga after a few weeks. Similar to anything that related with fitness, the more time that you spend, the more benefits you will get. That's why you should do yoga consistently and make sure that you spend at least one to two times a week to do those workouts to improve your flexibility and health.

So.....so what's the point? Obviously they aren't going for Genocide end, but as far as I'm concerned peace will be empty, because all the named Vegans are dead except the one guy who's been frozen hasn't spoken and I could care less about. So the faceless masses survived. Who cares? You aren't supposed to care about them.
God damn it. Destiny dropped the ball, Geass dropped the ball, 00 dropped the ball, and Age dropped the ball. Can they just not do mecha right anymore?

every time i order live crickets the box comes broken and half of them are gone, then they put the box in a plastic bag and that kills the crickets, ***.anyone know putting something live in a plastic bag will kill them we pay almost as much for the shipping as we do for the crickets . i want them to take more care when shipping things.
they should have to pay the cricket store back for all the dead crickets. and now i have to call the place and have them send more, because fed ex is so ***.
Monetary Loss: $97.
It is impossible for the crickets to die from lack of oxygen in a the large plastic bags that fedex uses. You are an ***.
And if the box arrived damaged, you did not have to accept it. Also, the reason it was damaged was due to improper packaging.
I see it all the time. People think by putting something in a little, thin, cardboard box that it's going to survive 3000 miles of *** on wheels and distribution centers that are forced to sort millions of boxes per day.

Nine Cache Hikers hiked to the Temple Fork Sawmill on this fine Saturday; Nikolai, Jane, Dave W., Dave P., Jeremiah, Elena, Gordon, Harry and Alex, the hike leader. We admired the beaver dams and signs of recent beaver activity along the way. Upon arriving at the sawmill site, Jeremiah, Nikolai and Alex decided to extend the hike by heading south to the Temple Fork Road. The remaining six hikers headed back, stopping for a shady lunch near some beaver dams. After lunch they continued down the trail, enjoying late summer wildflowers along the way, arriving at the the trailhead about 12:55. This was a hike of 5.5 miles with about 750 feet of uphill travel.
The other three hikers followed an animal path most of the way to the Temple Fork Road, where they stopped for lunch. They hiked about an hour on the road, passed through Mud Flat and came to the Hunsaker Corral trailhead. They left the road here and hiked down the trail to Temple Fork Creek and followed the Sawmill trail back to the trailhead. They described their extended hike as pleasant, for a total of 10.2 miles (including 3.5 miles on roads) and 2000 feet of ascent.
Trip Summary:
Thanks to Alex for the narrative, and Dave W and Nikolai for photos and GPS work.

How To Add a Ribbon to Excel with C# Interop
This is Part 3 of a three part tutorial on creating an Excel SQL Server CRUD application using ADO.NET. You should read Part 1 and Part 2 first.
Add code to load, update and save data back to the data store
In order to save data back to the database I will show you how to implement CRUD operations. To implement this I am going to create a Ribbon and add a button to save the changes that are done to the Excel File back to the database. I will also provide some code to load the data from the database when the application is loaded.
To help you with creating Ribbon in Excel and C#, Check out my other Tutorial on Creating Excel Applications using Ribbon and C# for more ideas and information on Creating Ribbons with C# which provides a detailed walk through on creating ribbons with C#.
To add the ribbon, right-click on the ExcelADO solution and do "Add" -> "New Item"
Select the Data node under Visual C# to filter the available templates.
Select Ribbon (Visual Designer) template. Provide a name for the ribbon and cs code file
Click "ok" to create the ribbon
private void button1_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e) { Globals.Sheet1.projectIdentificationBindingSource.EndEdit(); Globals.Sheet1.projectIdentificationTableAdapter.Update(Globals.Sheet1.excelDS.ProjectIdentification); }
From the Visual Designer, change the name of the Group object to "gtProject" and change the caption to "Projects"
Add a Button from the Toolbox by dragging & dropping from the Ribbon Controls onto to gtProjects group and change the caption to "Save"
Double-click on the button to open the code editor
Navigate to the button1_Click method and add the following code:The first line signals to the BindingSource that edited has completed. The second line tells tableAdapter to update the DataSet which linked to the database table throught the Data source to perform one of the CRUD operations (Insert, Update or Delete) that I configured in the Data Source section.
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; using ExcelTools = Microsoft.Office.Tools; ..... private void Project_Load(object sender, RibbonUIEventArgs e) { Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)Globals.Sheet1.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets[1]; ExcelTools.Excel.Worksheet extendedWorksheet = ExcelTools.Excel.Worksheet.GetVstoObject(worksheet); }
You will need to add the following references:
That concludes this tutorial. As you can see it is fairly easy to create a sophisticated CRUD application with Excel and SQL Server using ADO.NET and C#.
Hi Klan, thanks for the post. I tried all the steps but looks like the last line of code is having a problem.
I am getting the error "does not contain a definition for GetVstoObject". I already tried the two using statements:
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using ExcelTools = Microsoft.Office.Tools;
but that doesn't help. Are you sure there isn't something else needed like "using Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Extensions;" for the vsto method?

Today was my first day back to the gym since either Monday or Tuesday of last week. Most of my exercise last week came from low impact walking. I am starting to feel back to normal, so I ventured to the gym today. After chatting with Heather Lake, one of the participant's in the Gazette's Get Fit Challenge, I had a new treadmill workout that I wanted to attempt. It was an awesome, heart pumping, sweat-fest and it will be added into my weekly routine! You know it is a good workout when you can ring out your sports bra afterwards!
Incline Treadmill Workout:
5 minute warm up at a speed of 3.0 on incline level 1. (I walked at 3.7 speed for entire time) After the warm up, you increase the incline by 1 level. Walk for a minute and then increase the incline again by 1 level. The treadmill can go increase at .5 increments, but you actually go up 1 whole level each minute. You go all the way up to an incline of 15, walking a minute each level. After 15, I then lowered the incline by 1 level each minute, until I was back to 1. When I hit level 1, I did a 5 minute cool down. It was a total of 38 minutes ~ 300 calories burned ~ 2.3 miles. If you think you cannot get a great workout on the treadmill, try this routine! It was AMAZING! At about Level 7 or 8, I realized it was going to get tough. From level 10 through 15, I had to hold onto treadmill to avoid falling backwards. At one point I felt the urge to increase the speed, but I felt as if I needed to conservative and not be a hero on my first day back. Seriously, this workout rocked!
After the treadmill, I jumped on the elliptical trainer for 22 minutes, as I wanted to log in 60 minutes of exercise. For that 22 minutes, I burned 200 calories ~ 2.15 miles. I then went to the Ab Coaster and did 50 reps.
For strength training, I pushed around the large grocery cart at Wal-mart...you know the kind that has the seats in the front for two children. I had Karah and Seth with me, so it added at least 60 pounds of resistance. Add in a case of pop, bottled water, bottled tea, and 2 gallons of milk, plus all of the other groceries...it was one heck of an overall body workout just maneuvering through Wal-mart and trying not to take out an end cap or an old lady driving one of those electric carts. It was comparable to driving a semi! I worked up a sweat by the time I made it to the checkout.
So far I have had a great food day and hope to continue through tonight and into next week. Last week I logged 310 exercise minutes, 57 fruit/veggies, and 6 days worth of whole grains. Not too bad of a first week in the Walk Kansas Challenge, considering I was sick with strep for most of the week.

Geometric determination of unstable periodic orbit actions
Speaker: Jizhou Li, Washington State University, Pullman (WA), USA
Title: Geometric determination of unstable periodic orbit actions
Abstract: Semiclassical sum rules, such as the Gutzwiller trace formula, depend on the properties of closed (periodic or homoclinic/heteroclinic) orbits. The interferences between such orbit sums are governed by classical action functions and Maslov indices. We investigate the periodic orbits inside the convergence zone of the normal form transformation, which arise from intersections of Moser invariant curves, topologically forced by homoclinic intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds. We show that a rotary-N periodic orbit can be treated in two ways: the rst is to identify it as self-intersections of a single Moser curve, forced by a rotary-N (therefore non-primary) homoclinic orbit segment; the second is to identify it as mutual-intersections between N Moser curves, forced by N rotary-1 (primary) homoclinic orbit segments. In both cases, the periodic orbit actions are determined by the corresponding homoclinic actions and certain phase space areas bounded the stable and unstable manifolds. Application to determine the small action
di erences between orbits in cycle expansions are developed as an example of the use and power of these relations.
This work is in collaboration with Steven Tomsovic (WSU).


text: Hi guyz, I'm really in a dilemma. I was planning on buying an iMac 20" with 2 gb ram for work at home. I do a lot of Photoshop, Flash and some 3D. Next month I going to start working @ a webdesign company. I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Pro to be able to take my work with me anywhere. (plus my emails, that's important to me) At work they want to buy a Mac Mini for me + a Dell 24" screen. I do really want the iMac, because of its big screen, Apple keyboard and mouse you get with it, and that it's a lot cheaper. Plus that I think a desktop is more powerful than a laptop. But synchronising between 2 computers is something I don't like. I was wondering if the MBP is powerful enough and suitable for 'workstation' work. Would you think that the iMac and the MacBook pro are equally powerful, if both have the same specs, both 7200 rpm? I know the harddisk is smaller, so that may be the only drawback. Can you guys help me out?

Kabuki Syndrome (Kabuki make-up syndrome: KMS), first described in Japan in 1981, is a rare syndrome of unknown cause, characterized by the combination of morphological facial variations , mental retardation (intellectual disability) and various malformations. We report a case of Kabuki syndrome revealed by a language delay.
Kabuki syndrome; Clinical manifestations; Language delay; Malformations
Kabuki Syndrome (Kabuki make-up syndrome: KMS), first described in Japan in 1981, simultaneously by Kuroki et al. [1] and by Niikawa et al. [2]. First called Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome, it will be later renamed the Kabuki make-up syndrome, because of facial features suggestive masks and Kabuki makeup in the Japanese ancient theater. Its incidence is estimated at one in 32 000 birth in Japan. It's a rare syndrome of unknown cause characterized by the combination of morphological facial variations, growth retardation, skeletal abnormalities, mental retardation (intellectual disability) and abnormal dermatoglyphics. To these signs, are variably added other possible defects and a wide range of pathologies, hardly sparing any organ. We report a case of Kabuki syndrome: a boy of 9 years and 6 months, who visited the Child Psychiatry Department for consultation in Avicenne Military Hospital for language delay. The objective of our study is to report the case of a rare syndrome and often unrecognized and to describe its different clinical manifestationsand laboratory as well as the most reported forms of revelation through a literature review.
A 9 years and 6 months old child, with a male phenotypic sex, comes from a consanguineous marriage (the parents are first cousin), who visited the Child Psychiatry Department for consultation in Avicenne Military Hospital for language delay. He didn't have a medical family history, but he had a personnel history as a neonatal distress and neonatal hypotonia with a refusal of feedings and crises of crying. The child psychiatric interview revealed a delay in psychomotor acquisitions: the child could not walk until the age of 4 years and the language was limited to a few words. On physical examination, the child has dysmorphic face (Figure 1) with eversion of the lower eyelid, long palpebral fissures, arches eyebrows, long eyelashes, flattened tip of the nose, prominent ears, and abnormal dentition. On the hands, the fingers' pulps are protruding with raised center. The child has failure to thrive: height: 115cm (-3 Standard Deviation), with a normal weight: 28 kg . The child had not microcephaly (cranial perimeter: 53 cm). The clavicles were in place and skeletal X-rays didn't show any anomalies. The hernia openings were free and the examination of external genitalia didn't show any anomalies. Psychomotor tests showed an overall delay of psychomotor acquisitions, his mental age was 4 years. The speech and language therapy assessment showed a very limited stock of words with a failure in understanding instructions ( language of a 4 year old child) .The cognitive tests showed a moderate intellectual disability. Genetic counseling suspected Kabuki Syndrome and the Genetic karyotyping to metaphase stage was normal, with a normal karyotype 46, XY chromosomes.
The results of the performed investigation searched for all body systems congenital malformation revealed an inter ventricular communication and atrial septal of 4 mm in echocardiography. The ENT examination showed a cleft palate with a frenulum treated surgically, hearing loss of 30% at the audiogram. Abdominal ultrasound didn't reveal any urological malformations. The ophthalmic tests were normal, including strabismus or nystagmus. The brain MRI showed a kink outside an enlargement of the right temporal horn. The child had no history of seizures and EEG was normal. The immunological balance, seeking an autoimmune pathology, was negative. Currently the patient has a multidisciplinary management (child psychiatry, speech therapy and psychomotor rehabilitation and adapted schooling).
The diagnosis of Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS) is based on five cardinal clinical signs: facial dysmorphia, growth retardation, skeletal abnormalities, mental retardation and abnormal dermatoglyphics. To these signs, are variably added other possible defects and a wide range of pathologies, hardly sparing any organ. The characteristic craniofacial dysmorphia is present in 100% of the cases and gives the patient a highly evocative appearance with elongated palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral part of the lower 1/3 of the eyelid, large arched eyebrows with sparse outer 1/3 or notch, short columella with flattened nasal tip; large prominent ears and horn; a cleft lip or palate or arched palate. The teeth are dysplastic, poorly located, spaced or absent and often tapered upper incisors [2-4]. With a low hairline at the back of the neck .The growth retardation is usually postnatal [4] He settled in the first year of life and increases with age, compounded by early feeding difficulties. Musculoskeletal abnormalities present in 88% of cases [4], are varied, they include brachydactyly type 5, brachymesophalangy, clinodactyly of the 5th finger, scoliosis, joints hyperlaxity and dislocation. The microcephaly is inconstant. Dermatoglyphic abnormalities are typically reported with persistent fetal volar pads, they are part of the cardinal signs. Mental retardation is variable , generally moderate [5-7]. Psychomotor acquisitions are delayed due to very frequent sensory deficits, especially hearing [3,4,6] and hypotonia [3,4]. A hearing loss is common in 30-40% of the cases, sensorineural origin or secondary to chronic otitis media due to the craniofacial malformation or due to a susceptibility to infections.
In our case, the diagnosis was based on the facial anomalies characteristic of KMS, abnormal dermatophytes, cleft palate, growth retardation, mental retardation, and associated heart defects.
Associated malformations are potentially numerous and varied. They concern: the heart in 50% of the cases [8]. This is most often of septal defects, coarctation of the aorta are found in 25% of cases, it may also include mitral stenosis, aortic or pulmonary, tetralogy of Fallot or abnormal pulmonary venous return [9,10]. The diaphragmatic hernia [4,11,12] is present in 3-8% of cases. Renal abnormalities: renal hypoplasia or renal dysplasia or urinary tract dysplasia, dual system with ureteral duplicated, with or without ureterocele, megaureter are also described [3,4,13]. The association of extrahepatic biliary atresia has been reported sporadically, as a possible neonatal sclerosing cholangitis or congenital hepatic fibrosis [3,4,14,15]. Several publications mention the significant frequency of anorectal anomalies (imperforation or fistula) [16,17]. The central nervous system is not spared. Many anomalies have been described (microcephaly, arachnoid cysts, hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct, posterior cranial fossa abnormalities, polymicrogyria) [18,19]. The presence of epilepsy is often reported and concerns 10 to 40% of patients. Immune dysfunctions are also common. Most often, these are various autoimmune manifestations: [20,21] hematologic (thrombocytopenia, anemia, neutropenia), celiac disease, insulin dependent diabetes, vitiligo, and, rarely, autoimmune dysthyrodism. Deficits of humoral immunity with hypo gamma globulin are also reported in this context [22] favoring recurrent infections. Endocrine disorders are multiple, deficiency in growth hormone [23] is frequent, and it is to seek when we have short stature smaller than - 3DS and recurrent hypoglycemia [24]. The occurrence of early puberty [25,26] is found in 25-43% of cases. Thyroid disorders (hypo- or hyperthyroidism) and the LH deficiency are possible but uncommon.
The causes of the syndrome remain unknown for now. Multiple intrafamily observations [27] suggest a genetic origin and a dominant inheritance with variable expressivity. However most of the reported cases are sporadic. The identified chromosomal abnormalities are numerous. They can be gonosomal (mosaic 45X-47XXX , X ring) [28,29], multiple autosomal (trisomy 10p, deletion or duplication in 2q37 [30,31]). The multiple rearrangements of 8p22-8p23,1 duplication region, triplication, paracentric inversion are frequently reported in the literature [32,33], but comparative genomic hybridization techniques have not only confirmed this [34] approach. Recently, the possible role of gene C20orf 133, located 20p12-1 region deleted in a patient, was mentioned. [35] Other regions of the genome are potentially involved [36], but the authors insist on the genetic heterogeneity of the syndrome.
The mode of revelation of this syndrome is very variable, it may be hypotonia, feeding difficulties, recurrent infections, growth retardation or obesity. Language delay in the KMS has been reported by several authors, and it is linked in some cases with deafness; other authors suggest a neurological origin of the delay, while in several cases the delay is associated with the presence of a cleft lip and palate, neonatal hypotonia or mental retardation. [37]. It's necessary to complete the clinical approach with an assessment, which will include, at first, karyotyping, heart and abdominal ultrasound, an ENT examination, AEP and scan of the temporal bones, ophthalmologic examination and skeletal X-rays. Depending on the patient's age and clinical guidelines, other explorations will be considered (psychomotor assessment and psychometric assessment tests, Dynamic Dosing GH front of a short stature, looking for an autoimmune pathology and exploration humoral immunity, odonto stomatological balance sheet). Using a pediatric geneticist and a center of competence is needed when it is possible, since it allows the confirmation of the diagnosis, identification of the cases identified and the appropriate implementation of new molecular biology techniques. The management of its anomalies is mainly symptomatic.
Kabuki syndrome is not related only to Asian populations and it is probably still frequently unknown. [3] The diagnosis is based mainly on the clinical picture. The mode of KMS revelations are highly variable as well as the associated malformations. The outcome of these patients can be better understood through the multiplication of identified and tracked cases. The management adapted to each case is needed to improve the course and prognosis of these patients.

Have you ever listened to someone trying to explain something when they're flustered or stressed?
Every other word seems to be an 'um' or an 'ah', the paragraphs are peppered with 'actually' or 'you know'. Each sentence takes two or three times as long to say, and sometimes almost the same to unravel in your head enough to understand what is trying to be said. I say unravel as that is exactly what we have to do. The meaning gets lost in amongst all the filler words that we use in day to day conversation and the primary reason for talking in the first place – communication- is overwhelmed by useless utterances.
In Toastmasters clubs they often have an 'ah' counter; someone who studiously counts all of the 'ums', 'ahs', and other filler words. (I should point out here that I am a member of 3 different toastmasters clubs in England –Reading Speakers Club, Camberley Communicators & Leaders, and Marlow Orators (an advanced club). Primarily because I believe in practicing public speaking and stretching my abilities, and also because I enjoy it!)
The 'ah' counters report is something a lot of people dread. As human beings we hate being told we've done something wrong. I don't see it like this. I always see it as being helped to become better. By having it pointed out that I hesitated and 'um'd 6 times in two minutes, I become far more aware of my own speech patterns and how I can correct them. At a recent toastmasters meeting the 'ah' counter announced that she would be counting 'actually' as a specific verbal crutch. A real word, yes, but one that is often used as an unnecessary filler word. Unsurprisingly through the entire meeting we only had one instance of someone using 'actually' as a filler word. Awareness was raised – people concentrated on their own language and did not pad out their speech.
Why do we people use filler words anyway?
Aren't they completely useless and unnecessary?
Well – for the most part, NO.
In a regular conversation, a certain amount of filler words can aid the flow of communication process. They can make it obvious that we are thinking about our words, processing them so we can deliver ideas smoothly and fluidly. They can also be used defensively; to maintain our side of the conversation without leaving a gap where someone else can jump in and 'take over'. It's only when we start to overuse words that they really become a problem.
When we overuse filler words it starts to impede communication. It makes it more difficult for people to understand us, and as we have to then rely on them to interpret what we're saying its entirely possible that they misunderstand. It can even make us sound like we don't understand or don't know about our topic! I'm certain that we can all point to examples of this in other people. That's easy. What I recommend is to try listening to your own speech patterns; picking up on your own verbal crutches. Not just the 'ums' and 'ahs', but the 'actuallys', the 'you knows', the 'whatsits' and the 'so's. Only you know what words you use, and only you can correct them.
One thing extra if you've got to the end. If you've nodded and agreed as you've read this – DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
(and let me know how you get on 🙂 )

See main article on Brain Trauma and Addiction
Two pills.
That's how it started for Shane Olivea after he had finished his first season with the San Diego Chargers. Shane was named NFL's All-Rookie team. But pro football had taken a toll on his body and a teammate told him about a friend who could get him something. A couple of pops of Vicodin seemed innocent at the time but three years later he was out of the NFL, largely because of an addiction to painkillers and later snorting OxyContin, an opioid, before taking to the field for games.
He described his situation as "playing under the influence," and described it like feeling he had a couple of drinks.
"You're high, you're stoned," he said. "I wasn't loopy. I was high, you get a high effect . . . You're not drunk but you're buzzed. You know you're buzzed. You're coherent but you're not all there."
By then, he was already hooked.
"The best way I describe it to people is I was married to football and the pills were my mistress," Olivea said and he kept them secret from the team and other players. "Within a four-year span my mistress was sitting at the dinner table and my wife was not in the house anymore. It sucked the life out of me. It affected every relationship I had, especially with my teammates."
Olivea knew he wasn't the only one who has gone through an NFL career high on painkillers. More alarming — and more well-documented — are the rates at which former players removed from the structure and resources of their NFL teams turn to the pills that are so easily available.
See main article on Brain Trauma and Addiction
A 2010 study of NFL veterans by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis focused on painkillers specifically and found that 7 percent of the former players were currently using painkilling opioid drugs and 71 percent of those who used opioids during their career — prescription drugs such as oxycodone, Vicodin, Percocet — said they "misused" them.
The bottom line of the study: Former players are roughly four times more likely to use painkilling opioid drugs than the general population. That naturally increases the likelihood of addiction, which is already at epidemic proportions in the Unites States. According to federal statistics, more than 2 million Americans are addicted to painkillers.
Former Jets quarterback Ray Lucas became hooked on opioid painkillers as well after his career ended because of a neck injury. With no insurance he couldn't afford corrective surgery, so he began dulling the "excruciating" pain with medication. Like Olivea, he started out with just a few pills.
"Before you know it, you go from 100 pills to 400 pills, to 800 pills a month, which you don't get from doctors," said Lucas, who was receiving prescriptions from three different doctors and also buying on the black market, a habit that nearly bankrupted his family. "I was getting them from everywhere. Anything I could get my hands on. Roxies, oxys, Percocets, Vicodins. You name it, I took it, whatever the strength was."

That's why getting into treatment is so crucial to saving your life. When you think about the number of players that have chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people — most notably athletes — with a history of repetitive brain trauma it doubles the odds of recovery.
John Mackey, a star at Hempstead High School who played at Syracuse University and then enjoyed a Hall of Fame career with the Baltimore Colts, was diagnosed with dementia. Complications from the disease made him take his life on July 6, 2011, at age 69. The diagnosis and death were reminders about the dangers of concussions and how they impact players after they leave the game. Former players suffer in varying degrees from the head injuries, chronic pain increased their likelihood to addiction. While the NFL has instituted some safety measures to reduce the incidence of concussions, it is too late for the former players who now deal with the aftereffects.
According to the NFL, the number of concussions suffered in preseason and regular-season practices and games during the 2013 season dropped from the 2012 season. The numbers, however, does not include concussions suffered in playoff games.
Still, there are no guarantees that today's players and those who will eventually play in the NFL will avoid concussion-related problems, chronic pain or addiction. Pure Recovery California was developed as one of the leading treatments centers in the country that treat the trifecta of what can happen to professional athletes. With an advisory board of leading brain scientists, addictionologists, PhD's and neuro-pharmacologists and MD's, PRCA brings the most innovative, multi-disciplinary, scientific, medical and holistic body-mind-spirit treatment including regenerative medicine to patients suffering from Addiction, Chronic Pain and Traumatic Brain Injury. With their unique treatment modalities Pure Recovery CA specializes in sophisticated comprehensive care, using the latest neuroscience driven treatment and behavior modification. Their mission is to restore athletes back to a life of hope and create a solid foundation for lasting change after the game is over.

The whine of a mosquito is not just annoying. In some regions it's menacing. Mosquitos can carry serious diseases such as Zika and Dengue, which are spreading.
Roberto Barrera at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Puerto Rico says we need better ways to control mosquitoes. So he's invented a new trap with simple components: a bucket, hay, a screen, and water. Inside a special chamber …
Barrera: "… there is a sticky board with a special insect glue."
Barrera and his team installed traps at the majority of houses in four urban areas in southern Puerto Rico. Each house received three traps. He found that they reduced the population of one mosquito species by almost 80 percent.
The bucket traps are chemical free and Barrera says they could be used with other methods of mosquito control.
Barrera: "They can be used as an alternative in areas where the mosquito has developed resistance to insecticide."
Mosquitoes thrive in warm, wet conditions, which are expected to increase as the climate changes. That means new approaches like Barrera's traps could be critical to reducing mosquito-borne disease.

Indeed, throughout his comments, Blakely embraced his new role as New Orleans' recovery chief, one of only seven top City Hall aides who report directly to Nagin. He said he "recruited myself" to New Orleans' recovery effort, believing his experience rebuilding cities around the world made him particularly well-suited to the task and saying his expertise has been acknowledged across south Louisiana.Yes, the only authority… except for those pesky residents.
"FEMA has recognized me as the only authority for setting priorities for the parish of Orleans," he said.
UPDATE: The Advocate story on his speech was more people-friendly than the T-P article:
"We're going to rebuild the entire city. We're not shrinking any footprints. We're bringing every neighborhood back," he said.Sometimes I wish the media would just print the transcripts of speeches, press conferences, and interviews.
"We're going to build entire neighborhoods all at once." Whole neighborhoods will be elevated rather than "one house at a time," he added.
"I want to see jobs as close to people as possible," he said.
"I don't want to see that same Wal-Mart look here," he said.
"We have to build smart, we have to build well, and we have to use the right materials," he said.
"The Police Department is not going to arrest itself out of this," he said, saying more job opportunities is one answer.
"We have to create employment opportunities all over town. You wouldn't have time to commit murders if you're working," he said.
He also said the city needs a training program to prepare workers for the massive rebuilding that lies ahead.

As we said, the ZenFone AR is the subject of a pair of leaks. One leak is a press release dated two days from now, January 4th. Accidentally made public today by Asus, the release notes that the ZenFone AR (which stands for Augmented Reality) will be the first Tango-enabled phone to be powered by the Snapdragon 821 chipset. The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro employs a Snapdragon 652 SoC. The Asus ZenFone AR will also be the first handset enabled with Tango for AR capabilities, and Daydream for VR.
The second leak comes from Evan Blass, who disseminated a tweet that features renders of the front and back of the Asus ZenFone AR. If you have sharp eyes, you'll note that the date on the phone is January 4th, which is the date of the leaked press release. It also shows the location of the phone to be in Las Vegas, which is where CES will be taking place later this week.
So if all of the leaks fall into place, among the new phones unveiled by Asus on Wednesday at CES will be the Snapdragon 821 SoC powered Asus ZenFone AR. This handset will be a higher powered challenger to the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro. Specs, pricing and availability should all be released in a couple of days. Stay tuned!

Virtualization Short Take #218 Feb 2008 · Filed in Information
Before I begin the second installation of Virtualization Short Takes, I thought it was interesting to note that Thomas Bishop over at ScaleTheMind.com has adopted a similar strategy. There's just so much happening that it's truly impossible to discuss everything in depth. Even so, it's often helpful to at least provide the readers with the links and some additional thoughts. It seems like this approach may be the best one to use. I'm certainly open to everyone's thoughts.
So, on to today's list of virtualization-related links:
Frane Borozan has launched p2vbackup.com, a site that describes the process for incorporating virtualization into your backup and recovery process. I haven't had the time to review the site fully yet, but what I've seen looks pretty good.
Either Duncan Epping at Yellow Bricks just has really bad luck, or he has some sort of link into the VMware Knowledge Base so that he knows when new articles are published. If it's the former, then his misfortune is our good fortune, as he's pointed out a potential problem with Storage VMotion that can cause the storage migration to fail and the VM will then not power on. The associated VMware KB article is also available.
Lou Springer has written a paper on estimating workload consolidation and placement without the use of VMware Capacity Planner. Truth be told, there are organizations that cannot, for whatever reason, leverage Capacity Planner. Lou's document describes some alternative approaches and some ways of mitigating the risks of those alternative approaches.
Again via Duncan, here's some good information on recovering VMFS partitions when you've forgotten to set "automount disable" on the Windows-based VCB proxy server. It seems like I recall seeing somewhere that automount was disabled by default on the Standard edition of Windows Server 2003, but enabled on Enterprise. Can anyone confirm that? By the way, it looks like Windows Server 2008 will default to automount enabled.
And while we're talking about storage, check out this information from Duncan on Dell's DRAC Virtual Media functionality and its interaction with VMware ESX Server. Anyone seen similar behavior from HP iLO?
Via VMblog.com, I saw that Catbird had announced their HypervisorShield, which "is the first virtualized security technology that can monitor and control access to the hypervisor network". OK, sounds nifty, but I have to side with Christofer Hoff on this one. What exactly is Catbird saying here? Are they protecting the Service Console network interface(s), the VMkernel interface(s), the vSwitches, or something else entirely? Personally, I'm going to wait until I can see more information to make a judgment call on this one.
That's it for this edition. Feel free to submit any thoughts, suggestions, or rants in the comments below. Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: My recollection on the status of automount in Windows Server 2003 was incorrect. It is enabled by default in Standard, and disabled by default in Enterprise. Thanks to the readers who helped set me straight!

celebrating the 4th of July
The wagon is decorated, hastily because Lilly will be in the pre-parade
It's very hot and Phil wants to be in the shade but I am out in the sun taking all the photos!
The flashing lights of the police motorcycles signal the beginning of the kids parade
You can see the first little Hot wheels right behind the policeman
There are a lot of kids and families doing the kids parade this year.
More than I can count.
Oh look! Cheryl has talked Christine into being in the parade with Lilly
This will be Christine's first U.S Independence day and here she is in the parade!
See wagon in the middle of this photo
As they get closer I enjoy watching parents making fast repairs to bikes and decorations.
It's a charming event I hope Bothell always does.
As Lilly, Cheryl and Christine pass I see that Lilly is pounding a drum. She seems very hot but enjoying this odd thing she is doing.
There was a special award this year for being in the parade. It's Bothell's 100th birthday and Lilly will have this nice ribbon to remind her she was there for the 100th birthday.
Done with her walk of fame Christine cools off
Lilly turns the decorated wagon into a bed to nap in
and the parade goes on!
The oppressors!
The Pipers
The Pirates! Yikes
Boom Boom
Looking for tossed Candy
finding the tossed Candy
Our neighbor girls float
Our neighbor girls gym group
All done, too much heat and heading home
Until next year, Happy 4th of July and Happy 100th birthday Bothell, our home.
