The treatment uses a custom blended chemical peel with Vitamin C that is delicate even on sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells and clears debris and dirt from your pores. The eye area is treated to an invigorating Green Tea Stem Cell eye mask, followed by the infusion of eye care products using Dream's very own ECLAT Skin Rejuvenation Device. The ECLAT tones and firms the skin using electrotherapy as well as vibration, which is known to stimulate blood circulation and improve product absorption.
After each treatment, the eye area looks visibly brighter and younger.
Haesa Contouring Facial Treatment
This non-invasive facial treatment uses a combination of Bi-polar Radio Frequency, Infra-red and mechanical tissue manipulation through a pulsed vacuum to remove excess facial fats, define facial contours and tighten skin around the face and neck. This treatment is appropriate for individuals concerned with excess facial fat or looking for skin tightening, double chin reduction and facial slimming to help one achieve a more youthful facial contour.

U.S. Refuse To Sign ITU Treaty
An Alliance of Western democracies including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada has rejected a proposed treaty over concerns it hands repressive governments too much authority over the Internet.
Ambassador Terry Kramer, head of the U.S. delegation to the Dubai summit "This conference was never meant to focus on Internet issues and the Internet has given the world unimaginable economic and social benefit during these past 24 years — all without U.N. regulation."
Delegates from the Netherlands, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, the Philippines, Poland, and the Czech Republic also said they could not sign the proposed International Telecommunication Union treaty, which is scheduled to be finished by today. Kenya's delegate appeared to take the same position, saying "we reserve our rights" to "go back home and do more consultations" before signing, and India has signaled it agrees with the U.S. position. Japan's delegation said needed to consult with Tokyo before proceeding.
Deep divisions became apparent over the mere mention of "human rights obligations" in the treaty — a proposal that China and Iran opposed — and whether the U.N. was the proper organization to oversee key decisions about how the Internet should be managed. Currently groups including the Internet Engineering Task Force and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, fulfill that role.
Canada said it was forced to reject the proposed treaty because of its commitment to an Internet "in which people are free to participate, communicate, organize and exchange information.
At least a dozen nations, especially the United States, has likely doomed the entire summit, which was convened to draft a new treaty, unless a competing alliance including China and Algeria are willing to offer a dramatic last-minute compromise. ITU secretary general Hamadoun Touré said in September that "no proposal is going to be passed if it does not have very wide support from all involved."

Jupiter GRS and Io Shadow transit
Stu posted a calendar event in Celestial EventsuntilGRS Transit on Jupiter, crossing the meridian at 4.18am with Jupiter at just over 21 degrees altitude. GRS starts to come onto the disk at around 2.10am, disappearing at around 6.15am. A couple more events too, an Io Shadow Transit starting at 4.22am and an occultation or Ganymede at 4.29am. Full timings in the attachment. Best time to view is probably 5.18am with both shadow and GRS well positioned.
mercury transit youtube live feeds???????
ian61 posted a topic in Celestial Events Heads UpWe are hoping to observe the transit in school (Don't panic - we have done several transits and partial eclipses in the past so we are fine on the safety aspects - thanks). However does anyone know how I can get hold of some links to use in advance of the day that we can use to put some professional feeds up on the large screen tellies we have linked up to the computer systems these days – I am told that links on YouTube are the easiest to handle on the slightly clunky system we have to control them. My question comes from reminiscing with colleges that my daughter and I had stayed up to watch first contact of the last transit of Venus live from Hawaii before swapping to Mt Wilson. (We were also up before dawn on top of the local hill fort as the sun rose having lugged an old 4" reflector up there.) Of course at the time we were just browsing through the internet not taking good note of sites we were on.

1st Transit, 2nd Contact
BlabyStarGazer posted a topic in Imaging - SolarMy first attempt at photographing a Transit and I decided to try for the 2nd and 3rd Contacts, but of course as those in the UK will know, the final phase of the Mercury Transit was clouded out. So, here's my attempt to capture "2nd Contact" using a Canon 600D (unmodded) at eyepiece projection with a Baader Hyperion 17mm, Baader Solar Continuum filter, Lunt Herschel Wedge and a Skywatcher ED80 DS Pro on a HEQ5:
Mercury Transit
daz posted a topic in Imaging - SolarThis was probably my best effort... 900 frames at 12:28pm - earlier ones were battling exposure levels through the clouds! ED80, DBK camera, stacked in AutoStakkert then processed in PSCS5. Not a patch on some of the other images posted, but am pleased to have got this much!
Jupiter, Calisto + shadow transit 17.0.216
Pete Presland posted a topic in Imaging - PlanetaryFollowing on from the previous successful imaging session at approx FL 5100mm, I was eager to get out there again! Local conditions seemed very poor early on, but improved a little later on when this was taken. I seemed to be struggling to get any decent contrast using my usual settings, I did look a little hazy most of the time. So I decided to try a similar technique I use for my Solar imaging. This involves using a pretty low Gamma setting (30) and a high Gain setting (80) then I adjust the exposure to fill the histogram to around 70%. Not sure what effect this would have in better clearer seeing conditions, but I think I will probably try it. Never completely satisfied as usual but fairly pleased with the end result in the conditions. C9.25/ASI120mm, RGB, 60 seconds per channel, stacked in A/S2, combined in C/S2.

ISS transiting Supermoon 14.November 2016 04:25:40 MEZ
calli posted a topic in Imaging - LunarHi, since quite some time I wanted to image a ISS moon transit. After my successfull double ISS solar transit I tought that could be another nice "thing to have". After all the fuzz about the super moon I decided "I need no sleep!". Since my Mak127 with my Nikon5100 is barely able to frame a "normal" moon, and not able to get a full moon on video, I used a Vivitar Series 1 Zoom adapted to my ZWO ASI 120MC on my NexStar SLT. That left me with quite some low resolution but I tried anyways. The night was very clear, there was just one thing which worried me. The big walnut tree could be in the way... I tried to measure and plann with stellarium and came to the conclusion that it would work from my terrace, sitting in the warm house imaging. First I wanted to image from a window in the first floor but that would have meant very bad air or let the room cool out heavyly. I took some nice shots around midnight and again slewed the scope to the expected position, just above the walnut tree. So I sleeped a bit and started to align the scope again at 4:00 MEZ, the transit was expected at 4:25:40. The moon was high enough still and I was quite sure it would work out. At 4:20 there was suddenly some strange shadows, then a trunk started to "move in", dang not enough time to pack the telescope and move to the garden. I hoped that I could make it to a gap in the tree in 5 minutes, but no.... So I ended up with a successfull imaged transit but having some shadows. I get now the chainsaw... ;-) Spot the ISS close to the center. The incredible 58fps of the ASI produces nearky a continous line of ISS outlines: So now I am tired but the outcome was despite my error quite ok. Just preparing a video showing the realtime transit. Cheers, Carsten
Everything seems too perfect for now. There's an ISS transit of the sun on late Wednesday morning, visible not too far away from me. Two weather forecasts currently suggest it'll be clear skies then. What could go wrong? Well, the weather forecast is for almost 2 days away so there's plenty of time for it to be wrong. Also, I haven't managed to ask my boss yet if I can take an early lunch to catch it... I need to plan where I want to see it from, the ground track passes through the Cotswold water park and there's various car parks in there I could try. Since I will be imaging from a car park, I can take more kit than I did for the Venus transit previously, and will go with both Ha and white light kit. So rig 1 will be PST capturing continuous video. Rig 2 will be DSLR with solar filter... but I'm not so confident in getting the timing just right for this one as it's only 0.8 second window!
Venus Transit From Southern Ireland
Rihard posted a topic in Imaging - SolarHi all, the weather wasn't promising but I thought I would stay under the rain and take the chance. At sunrise, I started shooting without any filter (humidity and clouds were enough as filters) and I'm so happy I was able to capture Venus passing in front of the sun :D Click to enlarge:
Jupiter GRS & Io Shadow Transit
Stu posted a calendar event in Celestial EventsuntilAs per Chris's post, GRS and a shadow transit of Io are visible tomorrow morning, weather permitting of course! Io Shadow Transit starts at 2:28am, finishing at 4:39am GRS Transits at 3:32am, and Jupiter itself transits the meridian at 4:53am Between 3:30 and 4am could be an optimum time, Jupiter at around 19 degrees and above, not far off its highest at 21 degrees.
Saw the Mercury black dot !!
alanjgreen posted a topic in Observing - SolarJust bagged 10 minutes between the clouds and got to see the Mercury shadow transit! Its so long since I used the Lunt that I took a few seconds to get back into the groove of tuning the double stack and letting some air into the tuner as it was flat. Not much else on the disc - 3 x sets of proms, 3 tiny filaments, saw one small bright flux patch briefly. But the Mercury shadow was nice and clear and a decent sized patch too. Just got back inside before it started spotting with rain! Fingers crossed for another clear patch later ... Alan
Exoplanet transit model
jambouk posted a topic in The Astro LoungeWe are running a session at my local society on transits and occultations. One station will focus on exoplanet transits, and we'd like to build a very simple model to demonstrate this. We have a star (light source) and an orbiting "planet" but I need to work out how to detect the changes in light intensity and display this on a laptop, like a classical transit photometry trace below (taken from https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/tess/primary-science.html). Is there a way to take a feed from a DSLR through the USB output to do this, else I could get an adapter for my ZWO and put an EOS lens on the front of that. I really do want a light intensity vs time trace in real time on the laptop. This model will be run in a darkened room. Thanks for any comments. James
Where are the loppers?
Stu posted a topic in Observing - PlanetaryAs per the heads up, GRS was transiting at 6.02am this morning, so with the promise of clear skies the alarm was set. I was too lazy to setup the AZGTi further down the garden, which would have been better, so I was stuck closer to the house and trees with the scope on the Giro-WR. Lovely views right from the start really, GRS heading for the meridian showing some nice colour although not as dramatic as I've seen it in the past. I could see the white separation between GRS and SEB, north and south polar regions and what I assume was the South Temperate belt and Zone. Hints of a festoon dropping into the Equatorial Band. This was another occasion when I tried cyclops first, then switched to the binoviewers to see if I preferred it. Binoviewing, on this occasion, definitely made the detail easier to access although that has not always been the case for me. I was at x230 ish and floaters were well controlled. I thought the seeing dropped off after a while, until I defocussed and realized I was observing through the twigs of one of our trees! Amazing that I could still see some detail even then. Loppers required before the next outing I think, plus putting the other pillar extension on! What a lovely way to start the day. Blackbird singing his heart out and the gulls floating gently overhead on their way to the reservoirs. The Parakeets had yet to start their noisy morning commute! Two last surprises. I thought Saturn might be visible, and did catch it just before it was occulted by......my house! OK views but good just to see it again. Finally, despite it being quite light at gone 6am, Arcturus was clear and I could also still see Izar so I popped the scope onto it. What a beautiful sight! Very well controlled faint diffraction ring around Izar and its secondary was as clear as I've seen it, lovely separation and nice almost greenish blue colour to my eye. It has always been bluish grey to me, so perhaps just a trick of the daylight. Great way to finish off, then back in for a warming cuppa and a little three year old who wanted a cuddle .
It occured to me that I should share with you the timelapes of this year's Mercury transit as seen from Czech Republic. The clouds have parted for some 20 minuts, allowing me to capture this timelapse. I shot it with a modified webcam, Baader 2.25x Barlow and UV/IR cut filter, using my former SW MAK 102/1300.

Double Solar transit of ISS
calli posted a topic in Imaging - SolarHi, due to the exact prediction from calsky.com I was able to get a double solar transit of the ISS. I found a nice place for observing the two transits at maybe 200m from the calculated crossing of the central pathes. Technic was working flawlessly and so I could take two videos. Here is a video just the raw images: https://youtu.be/PFsZTPoM-ro The combined image is not aligned so far, so the "pilot" of the ISS seems a bit drunk. Ok it was the seeing and wind gusts. I will do a better aligned version when I got some time. Cheers, Carsten PS: Translation of the image caption: Place: South of Berlin, west of Rangsdorfer lake Time: 21 April 2016, first transit 14:27:31 distance to ISS 548km, second 17:39:13 distance to ISS 922km
Double Transits!
orion25 posted a topic in Imaging - PlanetaryDouble transits of Io and Europa across Jupiter, shot just after midnight with the Orion Deep Space Video Camera II through the Orion 127mm Mak. Io's shadow is more prominent on the left, on the upper belt. Europa's shadow is smaller and is located on the extreme upper right of Jupiter (above the belt); it peeks in and out because of the less-than-optimal seeing. Also, enjoy some original space music by my band, THE FALSE DAWN, La Langue des Sentiments (The Language of Feeling). Clear skies! Reggie
Jupiter 8.3.2016 00:15 Europa just entered the disk
calli posted a topic in Imaging - PlanetaryHi, after a long time I finally had time and a reason to image a bit. And it was NICE. And cold ;-) But for good, all my equipment worked. Dewcap heater keept the corrector plate clean. Motor Focusser worked via Bluetooth. Celestron Mak127 NexstarSLT, 2x Barlow (cheap one), Nikon D5100. After testing a Rasperry Pi cam as Astrocam (worked soso...) I started just in time to get the entering of Europa. I tried several images but so far only the FullHD videos seem to have good data in them. The attached image is one I processed just after the session (3 o Clock in the night). Today I realized that I just choosed the one where Europa just had entered, tired and frozen I tried to see Europa more on the planetary disk and completely ignored the pimple "artifact" left :-) Processed with PIPP for cropping and pre-process, then Autostakkert! (3x drizzle) and then Registaxx for the Wavelet magic. Today I will look if there is more data to process. The entering of Io I watched in the eyepiece, quite interesting! Cheers, Carsten
Object transiting the sun this afternoon - what is it?
jimness posted a topic in Imaging - SolarHi all, Was taking some white light sunspot snaps with my SCT and DSLR and spotted an object moving fast across it. Had a look at CalSky.com but couldn't find anything obvious (though I'm not sure I'm using the site right). Anyone got any idea what this might be? Satellite or...other? Cheers Jim
First, I would like to say,.. great new look Stargazers Lounge! I have been wanting to write this for some time now,.. Believe me! Unfortunately, I'm finding it harder to stargaze and report my findings these days. The exam period combined with the extended hours of daylight make it hard for me to make my way unto my porch with the necessary darkness to see anything worthwhile. However, I had been waiting impatiently for this day to arrive for awhile now. It was introduced to the world weeks ago (even if I had known about it for some time) as the astronomical event of the century. This was no fancy name since it would take over a hundred years for this phenomenon to happen again. At first I didn't want to be too excited since I knew that my success in seeing anything would depend on the weather. When the long range forecast seemed favourable, although a long shot since such predictions are rarely accurate, I extended my efforts to prepare myself. I researched the subject extensively: How could I experience the transit of Venus safely (for both myself and the equipment used). All sources pointed in the same direction: I was not, under any circumstances, to use my telescope since the aperture at 10" was too great. To point it at the sun would result in damaging my oculars and secondary mirror. I came across a project which greatly appealed to me. It involved binoculars, a tripod and the ability to project the image of the sun unto a white piece of paper. I would like to thank this forum for their many helpful suggestions during the preparation for this event. For this to work properly, I had to add some shadow since the beam of light would not be seen in broad daylight. I therefore added a piece of cardboard paper around the lenses and covered one of the eyepieces for better viewing. It was proposed that I line an extra box with black paper to provide the extra contrast I would need for a pristine view. It was also suggested by some that I could indeed use my telescope if the aperture was reduced to 2". This could easily be done with a piece of plywood but,... I resisted (well actually, the correct word for it was that I was insecure). I settled that night with my binocular project and waited for the transit to begin: I had trouble sleeping the night before since I had important plans for school and was nervous / excited as to what the next day would bring. At 4:00am I gave up trying to sleep and made my way to the kitchen where a waning strawberry moon (the full moon was the day before) greeted me. It was at that very moment that I knew that everything would turn out fine. In the end, my responsibilities regarding the final examinations at school went extremely well, promising me a successful evening. Well, not everything went that smoothly at first but,.. I had to believe that it would all work out. I waited for the transit to commence by watching a countdown online and made my way outdoors. Two of my students had already made their way to my house for the show. I tried in vain to see it but all the projection revealed was a fuzzy glow. Not a speck of Venus could be found. I simply could NOT focus! Frustration set in when my students decided to leave because Venus was giving us a "no show". It was at that moment that my eyes turned towards my telescope. Some had said on this forum that it could work and my time was running out since the sun was threatening to set over my neighbour's house. I grabbed for my telscope cover which had a hole of 2" already prepared and set up one last time. My husband helped me align the scope and take the picture since it was hard to hold the box and do all of this at the same time. Once we saw the projection of the sun, we focused the telescope and there it was,... It was Venus! I admit it,... I cried. Steven and I took pictures as the sun slowly disappeared behind my neighbour's roof. It was a shadow, a dot,... but it was my dot, my capture, my experience! It makes us wonder though: For a handful of hours (give or take a few), the world had caught a fever that had united them with one quest: To experience the transit. In one evening and one morning (depending which area from earth you viewed it from) there was one goal. It had nothing to do with religion, politics, debatable issues, money,... It had everything to do with experiencing a small something that was beyond our immediate grasp. Thank you Venus for sharing your journey, vision and a certain hope for the answers / questions of tomorrow! Isabelle

Venus Transit From Swindon
GlassWalker posted a topic in Imaging - Solar5:06am No sign of Venus here... hang on, that's not the sun is it. Wrong direction! 5:11am The view looking in the right direction. Cloud... 5:22am I see you! 5:27am Although it had moved away from the low cloud, it moved into another band. 5:31am At last, a clear shot. 5:39am Making contact on the way out... 5:42am The kit in action. 5:54am Barely visible still... the sun went behind some thin cloud after this so I didn't catch the exact moment Venus disappeared. Kit used: Canon 7D and 600D. Canon 100-400L and 15-85. Baader solar film ND5 on the 100-400L. I also took some video I might sort out later. Very tiered now. Stayed up to past 1am watching the Nasa feed. Woke up just before 4am... I did plan ahead and took the day off work. Next stop: bed.

What Technology For The Next Transit Of Venus?
sgazer posted a topic in The Astro LoungeIt won't happen again for another 105 years and it's unlikely that anyone on the earth now will be alive for the next one, apart from maybe a few young kids/babies who were too young to see it this time. I was looking at the Iphone/Android apps to time the transit from around the world and reading about this type of technology (Smart phones) not being available just 8 years ago during the last transit. (Ironically the simulations worked, but the app crashed on the day!!) It's amazing how technology has moved on in such a short time. During the transit before that, we were barely able to perform powered flight, now we've been to the moon and people are living in space. So what will technology be like for the next transit of Venus? Maybe people will live longer by then, so our children might see it! Will this forum still be the same, or will there have been another software update by then LOL? I don't think anyone could have imagined the technology we have now a hundred years ago and it's hard to imagine what will develop over the next 100 years. I hope humans will work things out an not make a mess of it!

Helping prevent avian influenza in Latin America and the Caribbean
FAO handbook offers guidance to small poultry farmers
30 August 2006, Rome - In order to help prevent a possible outbreak of avian flu in Latin America and the Caribbean and enhance public awareness of the threat posed by the disease, FAO has just published a new handbook targeted especially to the region's small-scale poultry farmers.
The richly illustrated publication, entitled Guide to the prevention and control of avian flu in small-scale poultry farming in Latin America and the Caribbean (Guía para la prevención y el control de la gripe aviar en la avicultura de pequeña escala en América Latina y el Caribe) stresses the measures needed to ensure on-farm biosecurity and prevent contact between domestic poultry and potentially infected wild birds.
"This information is specifically designed to meet the needs of small-scale and farmyard poultry production units. The handbook stresses simple and affordable methods to prevent and control the disease," said Joseph Domenech, head of FAO's Veterinary Services.
"It is very important for poultry farmers to be acquainted with the characteristics of this disease so that they can recognize it in the event of an outbreak, and immediately report it to the authorities. Prevention is the most effective weapon to forestall more serious damage and keep Latin America free of this fatal disease," he added.
FAO's handbook is intended for widespread distribution and has been made available free-of-charge on the UN agency's website. It will also be circulated among the staff of local veterinary services and livestock technicians working with small-scale producers in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The book grew out of a similar publication aimed at small-holders in Southeast Asia, a region where there was a massive outbreak of the deadly H5N1 virus in 2003/4 and from where it subsequently spread to Europe, the Near East and Africa.
A high level threat
If avian flu does appear in Latin America and the Caribbean it will threaten the food security of the most vulnerable groups in the region. In these countries, poultry generally accounts for over 70% of animal protein consumption.
Such an epidemic would have huge repercussions on this important livestock subsector. The American region is the world's leading poultry producer (current stocks are 4,850 million head), with Brazil topping the list. The poultry industry, which is expanding throughout the continent, has become a major source of income and employment and makes an important contribution to rural and peri-urban development.
Healthcare systems in the region's small and financially-strapped countries would also encounter serious difficulties when trying to check the spread of the disease.
The role of migratory birds
"Wild birds, particularly aquatic species taking the migration route from eastern Siberia to Alaska or from Iceland to northern Canada via Greenland, could introduce the virus into the American continent," explained Juan Lubroth, an FAO animal health expert.
Once it reached the northernmost areas of the Americas, the H5N1 virus would be able to follow North/South migration routes and spread from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, he added.
Domestic poultry smuggling and informal trading within and between the countries in the region, as well as popular cockfighting contests, can also contribute to the expansion of avian influenza.
Even though the H5N1 strain has never been detected on the American continent, in recent years other subtypes of the avian influenza virus (H5N2, H7N3) have caused outbreaks of the disease in Canada, Chile, the United States and Mexico. All were successfully brought under control and eradicated.
Cooperation agreements
To address this threat FAO recently approved four regional projects for the Southern Cone region, the Andean Region and Central America and the Caribbean* to enhance preventive measures and heighten their capacity to respond to any future outbreaks of bird flu.
The main thrust of these projects is to bolster the capabilities of countries to generate and share information on avian influenza, draw up early warning and rapid reaction plans and improve their understanding of the risk posed by migrating birds and trade in wild birds.
Among other measures, epidemiological monitoring and diagnostic laboratories will be improved, as will cooperation with existing information networks such as the Global Livestock Early Warning System (GLEWS) and the OIE/FAO Expert Influenza Network (OFFLU).
*The Southern Cone: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. The Andean Region: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Central America (8 countries): Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama. The Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.

My sister informed me about this website. Karl Uhlemann was my father's brother. I'm an artist too so it's in the genes I guess!! It's great to see his work. He also did illustrations for school books and designed a number of Irish stamps.
Great to see his work and to see the interest in his work.

I'm playing along in this week's Farm Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm and the theme this time is Love is in the Air. This is my first time coloring up Sweetie Bean and I gotta say, I'm in love with that hair... so much fun to color! Because she is a little Valentine's Fairy I thought I could get away with giving her a non-traditional hair color. Doesn't the berry red color make her look like candy? :)
The paper is old KI Memories and once I had it glued down there was something about it that made me want to add the black strip and have this card look kinda like a school notebook. Must be the doodle look to the print, I know I spent many a class doodling away on my notebooks during my school years. Anywho... a few little embellies and this card was done.
Well, I should get this day started. Thanks for stopping by!

There are many substances on Earth which can kill, injure or significantly increase our health issues. Humanity is an odd race, a human can spend a day focusing on fitness, but then later binge drink or smoke. Some substances we ingest willingly, others we are subjected to over time, yet all can make us ill, ranging from light day to day issues such as coughing to more severe symptoms like cancer and death.
You knew it was coming, it is probably the most consumed drug in the world, and that's what it is, a drug. Many people don't see it that way but countless people die every year from alcohol poisoning and alcohol related diseases. Booze can damage the liver, leaving you with huge fatty deposits and your liver functioning at a lower capacity. You can contract alcoholic hepatitis whereby your liver swells and can cause death. The problem is also with the drunken effect, it leads people to do some crazy things which result in prison or death. Unfortunately, it is rarely consumed with moderation and binge drinking can really hurt you in the long run. Alcohol kills up to 2.5 million people across the globe each year.
Widely used in construction, asbestos was a crumbly grey material used to make things such as garage roofs or drain piping. It has since been outlawed in many countries, but there are still huge installations running with asbestos and likely may home's still using it. There are usually free removal services available, so you if think you can see it don't hesitate to call your local handler. Don't panic, it's the spores that are particularly damaging, they are released when asbestos is snapped or crushed. It can cause a very particular cancer that forms on the membrane of your lungs, common in people who used to work with asbestos years ago.
It's dangerous, everyone knows it these days, yet still people smoke en-masse. It can give you cancer, leave you short of breath, make you smell bad and cost you a fortune. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on the planet so it can be quite tough to quit smoking. People are now vaping, where they inhale nicotine vapor, an e liquid is dispersed via vapor into the body. It has health risks of its own such as popcorn lung, but it far better for you than smoking a cigarette and can be a great way to start winding down your nicotine addiction.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
This silent killer comes from devices that burn gas, wood, propane and charcoal. The problem with the gas is that it's tasteless, odorless and colorless, meaning you won't know anything about it. There are many symptoms including vomiting, confusion, severe headache blurred vision and flu-like symptoms which can actually result in death. The best countermeasure is by using a CO2 alarm which detects when there is too much CO2 in the air. You should place one of these in every room that uses a fuel burning technique, such as a boiler or a fire.

We were supposed to be fishing offshore today with Capt. Lee Lucas but the seas were upward of 3 to 5 feet. So that didn't work out. Instead, we were lucky to meet Chris and Christy Johnson with SeaSquared Charters at Porky's.
We talked with them last night and made a plan for today. We were to meet them at 1 p.m. at the Seven-mile Marina. Until then, we had to run some errands first thing. Laundry was a must. We had free laundry facilities at Captain Pips, so we took advantage of that. We put in a couple loads of clothes and headed out to do some exploring.
We started off with breakfast at 7-mile Cafe then went exploring around Bahia Honda by car. I saw so many tarpon rolling as we were crossing the bridge! It was driving me crazy. I wanted to be out there so bad.
We headed back to Capt. Pips and Porky's to pack up and write out our blog for yesterday. The waitresses here are all so sweet.
We went to the marina where we were meeting Cris and Christy a little early to do some exploring. Their dock slip is adjacent to an awesome little restaurant called Salty's WaterFront Grill. It is such a beautiful little area, crystal clear water and a lot of hungry Pelican Petes.
We got on the boat at 1 and headed west in the bay to Bahia Honda Bridge. We anchored up at Chris's favorite spot and huge tarpon were rolling everywhere. I was so excited and wanted to get my line wet ASAP.
We were drifting live crabs on 6/0 hooks at the end of a 15-foot leader under a backward cork with a splitshot. We would let it drift behind the boat with an open spool for about 80 yards then we would reel up and try again. The bite was kind of slow because the current was ripping so hard. We were at this for a good hour before the first hit.
My crab had only reached about 10 yards behind the boat before my cork disappeared. I didn't say anything because I wanted to be sure that it was actually on, I was in disbelief! He started showing off his acrobatic skills as soon as I set the hook.
It was so incredibly exciting! This was my first hook up with a tarpon. Chris and Cooney went to work releasing the anchor and reeling in the other lines. I moved to the bow of the boat and we started chasing him down. He jumped 3 or 4 times and put on a hell of a fight. We leadered him about 15 minutes later. Chris said he was close to 100 pounds. Not too bad for my first tarpon ever!
After the fight we went back to our anchor and hurried to get back to fishing, I wanted another one! I also really wanted Cooney to get one. We went back to our drifts and were completely distracted about ten minutes later by a HUGE hammerhead shark attacking a tarpon about 150 yards of the port side of the stern! He was close to 15 feet and put on a great show for us! And it wasn't hooked to anyone's line. I love being on the water, you never know what you're going to see.
Another 30 minutes pass and Cooney's cork disappears. Fish On! His fight was a little different because the fish didn't decide to jump right away, giving him more energy to pull the drag. The fish started jumping about 15 minutes into the fight but by this time he had pulled us at least 1/2 of a mile toward the ocean. The waves were ridiculous out here and Jeremy was having a hard time keeping his footing.
At one point, he stumbled into the rail which flipped the bail on the reel and we all thought the fish was lost. It wasn't! It was still on, but because of the pressure that was released with the flip of the bail, the line had wrapped around the tip of the rod which caused quite the drama.
Chris was a huge help and got it unwound so Cooney could continue the fight. We ended up leadering the fish after about 25 minutes. Jeremy's first tarpon was a 70-pounder We had to head back into shore around this time because they had a sunset cruise set up for a couple of honeymooners in the area. We were so grateful to them for taking us out and hooking us up!
They really made a sacrifice to make this possible! They are really great people and we're happy to have met them! Chris blogged about our adventure too (http://seasquared-charters.com/2011/05/17/dream-fishing-trip-for-jeremy-and-meagan/).
Afterward, we went to Sunset Grill for a drink and some wi-fi to do some work. It was okay but we really wished we had just gone back to Porky's which is where we finished off our evening. This was our last night here so we wanted to have a chance to say our goodbyes to all of the great people we had met on this leg of our adventure.
Joe Mama was playing. He had such a great voice and such a unique musical style; we couldn't leave without one of his CDs (joemamamusic.com). We got to spend a lot of our last night with Barbara and Johnny at Captain Pips and Porky's. They really made our evening!
We had to write on the wall and staple up a couple of signed dollar bills to leave our mark at Porky's.
We capped off our night with another piece of amazing fried Key Lime pie all smothered in raspberry sauce. Then had to head back up to our room to pack up and call it a night.
We were able to reschedule our fishing trip with Capt. Lee Lucas for tomorrow. So now it's time for sleep to get rejuvenated and ready for the Hump tomorrow. The itinerary had us visiting John Pennekamp for tomorrow, but we're going to have to skip it. That's just another reason to come back to the Keys soon. This day has been so perfect! It really worked out wonderfully.

I know, Sharepoint 2007 is pretty old. However, this week a client wanted FBA for his WSS 3 environment, so no problemo for the Sharepoint pro. I haven't done a FBA config for Sharepoint 2007 before, so I did a bit of googling and couldn't find a very explaining article that covers the whole configuration. There were a few handy sites, including the MSDN, which helped me out getting what I needed.
Further on it will be explained in detail, but here is a summary already:
- ASP.NET membership database (aspnet_regsql.exe)
- Extended web application with zone internet
- Edit web.config of the default web application and the extended web application
- Install http://fba.codeplex.com/ wsp
Install ASP.NET membership database
Run the tool aspnet_regsql.exe at C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727
Choose the option to configure SQL Server for application services.
Choose the name of the database server in the server field. Choose Windows authentication and type a database name in the Database dropdown field. In this case we creat a database with the name fbadb.
Click next and Finish to complete the creation of the membership database.
Set the right SQL permissions
Because we wan´t to use integrated security with the connection we need to give the application pool identity the appropriate permissions on the membership database. First of all we need to know what the application pool identity is. For that you can go to the IIS Manager and select the Sharepoint site.
Click Advanced Settings… and note the Application Pool
Then click on Application Pools and select the noted application pool
Click Advanced Settings … and note the identity, in our case this is the Network Service
Now, go to SQL management studio and give that user the db_owner permissions on the FBA database we just created.
Extended web application with zone internet
Open Central Administration. Go to Create or extend web application in Application Management and click Extend an existing web application. In web application select the web application you wish to create FBA for.
However we are extending a web application, we need to create a new IIS web site so leave that option on.
I want to create a subsite for the FBA authentication, so I did set the port back to port 80 and set the host header to extranet.mydomain.com
Allow anonymous authentication and here you can also choose to use SSL or not. I choose not to use SSL. The last thing to do is to set the zone to Internet.
You can go to the url of the extended web application to check if the configuration works.
Last thing to do is to enable FBA on the extended web application. Go back to Central Administration and then click Authentication providers under Application Security. Then click on the Internet zone.
In this screen select the Forms authentication type. Two new fields appear: Membership provider name and Role manager name. This are the names of the membership and role provider we are going to configure in the next step. I'm using FBA for Membership provider name and FBARole for the role manager name.
Click Save and all central admin settings are set.
Edit web.config of the default web application and the extended web application
Next thing to do is to add a few items to the web.config of the web application and the extended web application:
- Peoplepicker wilcard for FBA
- Connectionstring for the FBA Database
- Membership provider for FBA Users
- Role manager for FBA Roles
Go to the web.config of the web application (not the extended web application) and search for the </sharepoint> closing tag and the <system.web> starting tag; they should be next to eachother.
Just above </SharePoint> you find the following piece of code:
<PeoplePickerWildcards> <clear /> <add key="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" value="%" /> </PeoplePickerWildcards> replace this with the next code: <PeoplePickerWildcards> <clear /> <add key="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" value="%" /> <add key="FBA" value="%" /> </PeoplePickerWildcards>
Now add a new ConnectionString section between the </sharepoint> and <system.web> tags:
<connectionStrings> <add name="fbaSQL" connectionString="server=localhost;database=fbadb;Trusted_Connection=true" /> </connectionStrings>
Because I run the database and Sharepoint on the same server I'm using localhost. If you are using a different database server you need to replace localhost with the database server name or ip here, pretty obvious.
Last thing to do is to add a membership and role section in the <system.web> tag. Add the following piece of code just below <system.web> and above <securityPolicy>:
<membership defaultProvider="FBA"> <providers> <add connectionStringName="fbaSQL" applicationName="/" name="FBA" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordFormat="Hashed" /> </providers> </membership> <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="FBARole"> <providers> <add connectionStringName="fbaSQL" applicationName="/" name="FBARole" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/> </providers> </roleManager>
This web.config is done. Now do the same for the web.config of the extended web application.
Install http://fba.codeplex.com/ wsp
Download FBAManagement.wsp and Deploy.cmd from http://fba.codeplex.com/releases/view/2986 and save both files into the same folder. We need to edit some values in the Deploy.cmd so once downloaded go to the folder and rightclick Deploy.cmd and click edit. Now replace both http://aspnet with http://<yoursharepointsite>. Also remove the bin from "stsadm -o addsolution -filename binFBAManagement.wsp" so it reads only "stsadm -o addsolution -filename FBAManagement.wsp". The code should look like this:
@echo Deploying FBAManagement solution @set PATH=C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12BIN;%PATH% stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name FBAUserRoleManagement -url http://mysharepoint -force stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name FBAConfigurationManagement -force stsadm -o retractsolution -name FBAManagement.wsp -immediate stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs stsadm -o deletesolution -name FBAManagement.wsp -override stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs stsadm -o addsolution -filename FBAManagement.wsp stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs stsadm -o deploysolution -name FBAManagement.wsp -immediate -allowgacdeployment stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs stsadm -o activatefeature -name FBAConfigurationManagement stsadm -o activatefeature -name FBAUserRoleManagement -url http://mysharepoint stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs
Save the file and execute it as administrator. Don't be scared with the file not found and solution not found messages for the first few lines, because thats entirely normal.
All configuration is done. Go to the site settings of the sitecollection. Under site collection administration you find two new links. With Manage FBA Users you can add and edit users and with Manage FBA Roles you can add and edit roles, which is pretty straightforward.
To test FBA you can add a user and give the user some permissions by adding it to the Team Site Members group. Now, login with the user on the extended web application and see the result.

Lost Soul
Luv N'Haight presents Lost Soul; a comprehensive
collection of material recorded by Geater Davis for
the House Of Orange label. The name of the album is
an accurate description of the life and career of the
legendary blues and soul singer who passed away at
age 38 while on the verge of breaking through.
Geater Davis' career began in Texas but with the
success of a few regional hits he was able to go to
Shreveport and all throughout the South. He was
always on the move looking for a better chance,
keeping his career alive and the "big break" so many
artists look for. Just weeks after moving to Dallas he
suffered a heart attack and a few weeks later died
from heart failure on the day he was supposed to
record a session. Although he didn't find the success
he sought while he was alive, his legacy is secure as
one of the finest blues-soul singers of the 1970's.
Lost Soul features the highly sought after single "My
Love Is So Strong For You" along with all the tracks
from his "Sweet Womans Love" album and a few
other singles that he cut for Allen Orange's House Of
Orange label including different versions of his
classics "Cold Love" and "I'll Play The Blues For

a quick fix
quick fix
A fast and often temporary solution to a problem. There is no quick fix for your financial problems. You must learn to budget your money and gradually cut down on your expenses.
a quick fix
COMMON If something is a quick fix, it is a fast solution, but one which may not last. We encourage our clients to look for other ways to find comfort apart from the quick fix that food offers. There can be no quick fix for public spending. If the recovery fails to cut the deficit sharply, a rise in taxes will be needed. Note: You can also use quick-fix before a noun. The fight against crime is not a quick-fix operation.

A new gameplay trailer for FIFA 16 has just been released at E3 2015, showing off some amazing shots and some nifty footwork.
The video is fairly lengthy, and features some of the first FIFA 16 gameplay footage. The video shows both men and women playing soccer, as this will be the first time that Women's National Team will be in a FIFA game. EA mentioned during the presentation that it took years for the developers to create realistic women in FIFA, but they are extremely proud that women are now in the soccer game.
FIFA 16 is set to come out this September for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The problem here is that this clause could plausibly take effect if a third party submits the patch to Best Practical Solutions, LLC.

Prehistoric Times
|Since the Early Neolithic Era an important island civilization has been developing throughout the area of the north Aegean, to which Chios and Psara belong. Settlers were attracted from the earliest times by the favorable ecological conditions, and occupation has continued up to now.
Evidence of the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (6000-2000 BC), a period of 4000 years during which Chios passed through the developmental stages of the cultural and economic structures of prehistory, is derived from traces at several places on Chios, the systematic excavations at Emporio and Aghio Galas, as well as the rich Chios tradition.
|Just who were the first inhabitants is still an open question. There are three versions, the first one relates the first inhabitants with Pelasgians, from whom many toponyms have survived up to now, such as Pelinaion, Kronos, Dotion, Larisson, et al. According to the second version the first settler was Oinopion, son of Dionysos or Theseus and Ariadne, who came from Crete. The island was named Chios after his daughter's name, nymph Chion. A third version, cited by historian Isidoros, says the name Chios comes by the Phoenicians and means mastic in the Syrian language.
|Most probably the final band of colonists before the Ionians were Abantes from Euboia. Tradition refers to a king Amphiklos who came to Chios in response to a delphic oracle and, four generations later, King Hector, who expelled the former inhabitants of the island. The destruction of the Mycenaean settlement at Emporio coincides with beginning of Ionia colonization, which events are probably reflected in the domination of the racial elements with which the history of Ionian Chios commences.

The latest release in the Bindarra Creek Romance series is 'The Ghost of his Past' Simone Angela.
When you're haunted by a dark past, can you ever find the light?
Architect Mark Bradford escaped to the country town of Bindarra Creek with his seven year old daughter, never wanting to relive the nightmare of his past.
When Frenchwoman Brigitte de Rosier arrives as Mark's live-in nanny, Mark's world is turned upside down. All those painful memories he thought buried long ago, resurface, and he struggles with inner demons and guilt.
Brigitte came to Bindarra Creek to spend time with her uncle, her own guilt hanging over her head. She never expected to be drawn to her remote, new boss and his lonely daughter. She wants to bring some light into their shadowy lives but can't seem to get through to him.
Mark is over-protective and doesn't agree with Brigitte's belief in giving his little girl some freedom. But there's a very good reason for that.
When Brigitte stumbles upon the shocking truth, Mark confesses all and she finally learns the reason why he's been so up and down. Will the ghost of his past keep them apart forever?

I'm delighted to announce three new titles due soon in paperback and ebook format from infinity plus.
First up is The Fabulous Beast, a new collection from Garry Kilworth. This includes 18 stories, from Anglo-Saxon tales to fantasy, science fiction and horror, by an author described by Punch as "a master of his trade" and by New Scientist as "arguably the finest writer of short fiction today, in any genre." Some of the stories in this book also featured in Garry's ebook-only collection Phoenix Man (no longer available). Already available from infinity plus is Garry's book of memoirs, On my Way To Samarkand, crammed with anecdotes about his farm worker antecedents and his rovings around the globe, as well as his experiences in the mid-list of many publishing houses.
James Everington's Falling Over is a wonderfully gritty and compelling collection of stories that tread the fine line between crime, horror and just downright strange. "Beautifully written, evocative, masterful…what shines through these stories is the author's love of language" (Red Adept on James's The Other Room).
And infinity plus stalwart Eric Brown returns with a book of the Salvageman Ed stories, rewritten as a single novel. Previously, we've brought out eight of Eric's books, including early novels such as Meridian Days and Penumbra, his landmark collection The Time-Lapsed Man and other stories, the horror and ghost story collection Ghostwriting (which I think contains some of his best writing), and more.
These titles are due to appear from May to July, 2013.

I can hear them from my post inside – working.
The laughing and screaming.
My middle two children are in the front yard with their dad, wearing their soccer jerseys from years past. There's a soccer ball out there among them, bouncing around at the command of bare feet. They are dripping with sweat and red-faced.
Kids against Dad.
I'm not getting much done for all this watching out the window.

5 star hotel fully booked for end of May
Paul Joseph Watson
April 1, 2014
The 2014 Bilderberg Group meeting of secretive global power brokers will almost certainly take place at the 5 star Marriott Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark from May 29 to June 1.
After Denmark was confimed yesterday as the site of the organization's 62nd conference, inquiries to the Marriott show no rooms available for those dates, indicating that Bilderberg has booked out the entire hotel for its annual confab.
Although the group has been known to throw out red herrings and double book different hotels to throw reporters off the scent, the Marriott will very likely be the site of the conference.

Next week I am going to arrange both a clean sweep competition and a regular coin tournament.
The Clean sweep competition is on thursday, 21st of January.
Its a individual contest.. which means you sign yourself up.. you can play against whom ever you like.. but it can be more fun to play against a player that also have signed up for the competition!
There is one gold coin at stake, which the player with most clean sweeps during the competition take home.
The sweep competition will be played between 9pm-10.30pm CET.
It is not allowed to cancel games (so called sweep-play).
The regular coin tournament will be played next week on sunday, 24th of January. And it is a tournament for me and Katjziska on our birthday ;) The tournament starts from 9pm CET.
Here I will have 2 gold coins at stake.. 1 to the winning player in the end of the tournament and one that I randomly give out to one player during the tournament.
I will make a tournament that is active for 1 hour time, (like a onlines tournament with signed up players only) with 1 set games in round robin and 5 set in the final play. 4 players goes to semifinals.
Does it sound interesting? You can sign up now already if you like for one of the competitions or both, however.. for the competition on sunday of 24th January I will want to have confirmation from the signed up players on the same day.. otherwise your place goes to someother player to take over.
Sign up by leaving a comment here, or message me at SP.
Signed up players for the clean sweep competition:

On April 6, the personal genomics company 23andMe received authorization from the FDA to offer health risk tests directly to consumers for 10 diseases or conditions. It's not clear whether health care professionals are prepared to offer reliable counseling about the results, much less cope with the ethical and practical questions surrounding such counseling.
This Nurses Week: Ask your nurses if they are burned out
KevinMD.com (Blog), Emily Weston, 9 May 2017
July 10 will mark my tenth year as a nurse. I am already an old nurse, surprised by nothing and filled with battle stories.

The essential role that daughters play in the American health care system is well known but has received little attention.

The essence of nursing care: A powerful tribute for Nurses Week AJN Off the Charts, Jacob Molyneux, 8 May 2017
Frontline nurses, as the health professionals who spend the most time with patients and their families, are central to ensuring that the patient experience is a positive and dignified one. This sentence from "The Essence of Nursing Care" isn't just rhetoric.

On November 3, 2014, the episode was made available on WatchDisneyXD.com before making its television debut.
Aboard the Phantom, Hera, Ezra, and Sabine are on the run from a squadron of TIE Fighters after making an assault on an Imperial convoy. Hera puts in all her skills to evade the pursuing fighters and one by one they end up crashing or destroyed. The Rebels lose their pursuers and return safely to the Ghost, however the Phantom suffered minor damages to its steering and fuel line.
As they travel to their next destination to meet their Intel, Fulcrum, Kanan and Hera both admit their fight against the Empire is getting more difficult, especially since they underestimated their target's defenses. Sabine becomes very frustrated because Hera and Kanan won't tell her who Fulcrum is and where the contact gets info from. Feeling like she is not trusted, Sabine demands to join Hera's next mission where she will be meeting Fulcrum with supplies for them. Meanwhile, Zeb, Ezra, and Chopper are working on repairs on the Phantom only for it to be turned into another quarrel against the three of them, leaving the damaged fuel line unchecked. Sabine and Hera take off in the Phantom and head for Fort Anaxes, an asteroid base once used by the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. They don't find Fulcrum but they do find the crates. While loading them aboard the Phantom, Sabine admits why she feels frustrated because when she was an Imperial Cadet she trusted the Empire, followed their orders blindly and it turned into a nightmare for her. She also feels they cannot fight the Empire alone which is why she wants to know if she can be trusted, especially with secret Intel and most of all knowing that their fight is not all for nothing. Hera tells her all she needs to know is to have faith in their Rebellion and someday there will be a long term plan a lot bigger than themselves, bigger than Lothal, bigger than the outer rim.
When they return to gather up the rest of the crates, they find a few gone, more like dragged away into the abandoned hanger by someone or something. Sabine and Hera decide to investigate and find one of the crates torn open and noticing the claw marks, they assume they are not alone. They hear a lot of monstrous squealing and then out of the darkness appears a group of deadly creatures known as Fyrnocks. They chase Sabine and Hera out of the hanger but do not come out themselves because they are sensitive to sunlight. Hera and Sabine gather up the rest of the crates quick and just before they can take off they realize there is a fuel leak, stemming from the un-repaired damage that the Phantom suffered during their escape from the TIE Fighters on Lothal. To make things worse, many asteroids block the sun that shines over the base and with a massive one flying overhead, it blocks the sun out long enough for the Fyrnocks to make Hera and Sabine their meal.
Using abandoned explosives to kill the creatures, Sabine and Hera manage to hold them off long enough for the Ghost to arrive in time to rescue them and escape the base. Once back on board, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper apologize for not checking the fuel line and promise to make it up to Hera and Sabine by making full repairs on the Phantom. Meanwhile, Sabine now feels she can trust her fellow Rebels, even Hera more better now and has faith that someday they will not always be fighting this battle alone.
