the word of the LORD came to the priest Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar. - There the hand of the LORD came upon me.
3 As I looked, a stormwind came from the North, a huge cloud with flashing fire (enveloped in brightness), from the midst of which (the midst of the fire) something gleamed like electrum.
and their legs went straight down; the soles of their feet were round. They sparkled with a gleam like burnished bronze.
5 Their faces were like this: each of the four had the face of a man, but on the right side was the face of a lion, and on the left side the face of an ox, and finally each had the face of an eagle.
Their faces (and their wings) looked out on all their four sides; they did not turn when they moved, but each went straight forward.
Human hands were under their wings, and the wings of one touched those of another.
Each had two wings spread out above so that they touched one another's, while the other two wings of each covered his body.
In among the living creatures something like burning coals of fire could be seen; they seemed like torches, moving to and fro among the living creatures. The fire gleamed, and from it came forth flashes of lightning.
As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground, one beside each of the four living creatures.
The wheels had the sparkling appearance of chrysolite, and all four of them looked the same: they were constructed as though one wheel were within another.
They could move in any of the four directions they faced, without veering as they moved.
The four of them had rims, and I saw that their rims were full of eyes all around.
When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them; and when the living creatures were raised from the ground, the wheels also were raised.
Wherever the spirit wished to go, there the wheels went, and they were raised together with the living creatures; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
6 Over the heads of the living creatures, something like a firmament could be seen, seeming like glittering crystal, stretched straight out above their heads.
7 Above the firmament over their heads something like a throne could be seen, looking like sapphire. Upon it was seated, up above, one who had the appearance of a man.
Upward from what resembled his waist I saw what gleamed like electrum; downward from what resembled his waist I saw what looked like fire; he was surrounded with splendor.
1  The thirtieth year, which corresponds to the fifth year of exile (⇒ Ezekiel 1:2), has never been satisfactorily explained; possibly it refers to the prophet's age. The river Chebar: probably a canal near Nippur, southeast of Babylon, one of the sites on which the Jewish exiles were settled.
2  The fifth day of the fourth month, the fifth year: July 31, 593 B.C.; cf ⇒ Ezekiel 1:1.
3  The North: the abode of God; see notes on ⇒ Job 37:22; ⇒ Psalm 48:3. Electrum: an alloy of gold and silver, used here for some undetermined bright metal.
4  Four living creatures: identified as cherubim in ⇒ Ezekiel 10:1-2(20-21).
5 [8-22] Note the changed order of the verses and the omission of the textually uncertain Ezekiel 1:14, 21. Such changes also occur elsewhere in this book.
6 [22-23,26] This symbolic description of God's throne is similar to that in ⇒ Exodus 24:9-10.
7  One who had the appearance of a man: God appearing in human form (⇒ Ezekiel 1:28); cf ⇒ Exodus 33:18-23.


1. What is MockingFish and what features are included in it?
MockingFish is a Heatmap and A/B testing tool that lets you test web experiences with actual visitors, learn from them and deliver targeted experiences based on what you learned. It allows you to set up and run A/B tests wherein visitors are splitted equally into two version- Version "A"(Control) and Version "B"(Variation) to test different elements like landing pages, Call To Action (CTA), headlines and images against each other.
2. Why Should I buy MockingFish?
3. How To install MockingFish?
For installing MockingFish, you just need to add a small snippet of code to your website's code. This snippet has a unique project ID, and it allows the experiments you create in MockingFish to execute on your site. This snippet automatically updates to run any test which you operate in MockingFish's text editor. You need not require to change anything. Do it once, enjoy forever!!
4. Does MockingFish supports testing of 2 unique URL's against each other? If so, How?
5. What is Multivariate Testing (MVT)?
Performing multiple A/B tests on the same page is known as multivariate testing. For doing so, you can choose certain elements of web page like header, call to action, images etc and design different versions of each.
6. How many variables should I test at a time?
Testing multiple variables altogether does not provides an actionable answer to your queries. If you are testing multiple variables at once, you are not able to decide which of the elements actually made a difference in increasing conversion rates. Our aim is to help you, therefore you should perform a series of one variable tests to iterate your way to page you know is more effective.
7. What is a "Control" version?
"Control" is the existing version of a web page that you are about to test. Sometimes you might wish to test two versions of a web page that never existed before. Choose the one version that's similar to how you currently design your web page and use other as the treatment.


One of the things I love about Lightroom is how fast you can change its look. Why would you want to do that? To make an already efficient program even more efficient and adapt it to your needs. I am going to give you some simple keys to press to change Lightroom quickly (I am going to keep this simple and only give a limited set of keystrokes that consistently help).
You don't always need all the panels, so why not simplify the Lightroom interface to focus on what you really need. If you are only working with photos and keywords in Library, you don't need to clutter the screen with the left panel of folders and collections, or with the filmstrip at the bottom. The function key, F7, closes and opens the left panel (true for all modules) and F6 closes and opens the Filmstrip. Also, you are only pressing a single key.
And while you are working in Library — go instantly between the grid and a loupe view by using the letters G (grid — small g is fine, but the capital G is easier to read in this text, so I will continue that convention) and E (for loupe since L is used for lights out to change emphasis on what you see). You can go back and forth as much as you want, then go right to Develop by pressing D. Hit G or E at any time to go back to those screens in Library or D at any time to go to Develop. Note that you only need to press a single key. You do not need to use any modifiers.
You can then make that grid or single-image loupe view fill the screen by pressing Shift + Tab — that will remove all panels except the center photo work area. Press Shift + Tab again to go back to all panels.
Now suppose you press D and go to Develop. It can be very helpful to see the image as large as possible, so you can usually close the left and bottom panels — again, F7 and F6. However, you might want to examine what you did in the History part of the left panel, and once again, keep the photo as large as possible — then you can press F8 and make the right panel go away (or return). You can also close the top panel with F5 and a toolbar with the letter T.
I am constantly using these keys to adjust the interface to make it work most efficiently for me. I like having a simple interface that is absolutely functional, and these keys help do that quickly and easily. My Lightroom workflow videos cover this and more, plus how to efficiently work with your images in Lightroom from import to processing in Develop. The workflow applies to Lightroom 2 and 3, and includes commentary on Lightroom 3.
Nature and nature photography have long been important to me. My long association with Outdoor Photographer really helped me both as a photographer and a communicator about both photography and nature photography. My education actually included both photography and nature, including degrees in Plant and Soil Science. So I have a new blog devoted to nature and photography called, www.natureandphotography.com. You'll also find a post there about Lightroom and honoring nature.
Some great advice in here, I'm trying to streamline my lightroom editing process as much as possible.
I'd love to see your lightroom workflow to see how you sort through and edit photo's after a shoot – always interesting.
Is there a way I can change the key combinations so I can assign the keys to each of the LR functions or options…?
Sorry, not that I am aware.


There are people who say "discovering" theorems and properties and relationships help students create and remember connections. There are people who say it's a waste of time. I think that for students who are committed to an activity and able to understand the task at hand, discovery activities are one of the more powerful learning tools that teachers can use. I am trying to not only incorporate some of these into my Algebra I and Geometry classes, but also tweak them each time we do them so that the students get as much out of it as possible.
This year, our district has the ability to use Gizmos and this has been a great tool, especially for my Geometry students. On Friday we spent the lesson discovering the polygon angle theorems. Students were able to see the relationship between the number of sides and the number of triangles within a polygon, and then translate that into the interior angle sum theorem as well as the individual interior angle theorem. They also figured out the exterior angle sum and individual exterior angle theorems! These were done with very little prompting or clarification on my part – I had to explain what the worksheet meant by n-gon a few times but that really was about it.
In the first unit of the year the students derived the distance and midpoint formulas. They figured out the relationships between the size of an angle and the size of the opposite side of a triangle. We played around with side lengths to create triangles and not-triangles. I believe that taking the time to do all of these activities has given at least some of my students a better understanding of the concept and better ability to apply that knowledge when solving problems.

Q: Get Access property of a CodeElement I'm writing  an Add-in for VS 2010. Can't find answer for a question - How can i get the Access property of a CodeElement if it has that one.
I was trying reflection, but no results.
Ex. CodeElement is a class method
public void GetAccess (CodeElement codeElement)

{

      object code = codeElement;
      Type t = code.GetType();
      t.GetProperty("Access") = vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic;

}

But it doesnt work..
Help, please!

A: Access is only available on some types of CodeElements, so you'll need to check for the type of CodeElement you have, cast to the specific type and then retrieve the property.
Example:
if (codeElement.Kind == vsCMElementFunction)
{
    return ((CodeFunction)codeElement).Access;
}
else if (codeElement.Kind == vsCMElementProperty)
{
    return ((CodeProperty)codeElement).Access;
}

OpenDocument Format is standardised by OASIS and adopted by ISO/IEC JTC1 SC34. ODF is the current best practice for sharing and storing office documents across the industry. ODF makes your documents such as texts or presentations more portable across operating systems and devices.
You probably know that OpenDocument Format files come in a number of forms: text, presentation, spreadsheet, drawings and more. Since ODF is a standard, ODF files are expected to look and behave similarly in all the software that supports ODF. But how can you tell if that is really the case? By testing?
ODF Autotests is completely open, so use it as you see fit. Please check the fine introduction on how to run the ODF Autotests locally, and how to contribute your own tests. Pull requests warmly invited.

The S&P closed up 20bps from the European close hovering around the highs of the day for the last 2hrs of the session. Volumes flat w/ yesterday at 6.4bln shares, remaining more than 5% below the 20 day avg. Dollars traded off 4% to $222bln, 10% <avg. About 2/3 of volume printing to the upside.
Quiet day all in all with the S&P trading in about a 35bps range all day but sneaks closer still to new highs, about half a percent away. A couple things of note, though mostly continuations of what we've seen last few days: continued outperformance of small caps and to a lesser extent mid caps. Most shorted too doubling up the S&P's gain, Russell more than that. Large-Cap Health Care Equip/Services, Transports, Food Retailers, Materials the stand outs among larger issues. Yields continuing lower, 10yr 1.7% – just about as low as it's been in 2 months. Financials lag a bit today, increasingly look topped out, esp on a relative basis, for now. With that move in rates and the Fed on hold it seems, Gold continues recent run higher, <2.5% from May highs now while on the other side the Dollar Index making a new low of its recent move and 1% from its May lows. Another day, another +2% for crude – still needs to go much higher to see meaningful production increases in the US. Quality continues to attract a premium as the QCC basket continues to make highs.

The Post Office was built in 1868 by Sanford Cady, who was appointed the first Postmaster of Grand Forks in 1870. It first stood in the 500 block of present-day Reeves Drive. Stagecoaches traveling between Pembina and Fort Abercrombie used the cabin as an overnight stop. Cady, like many Grand Forks pioneers, was a veteran of the Civil War. He and Sarah J. Fadden were one of the first couples married in Grand Forks.
In 1974, it was moved from its last residential location on the corner of Cottonwood St. and 2nd Ave. South. The Post Office was remodeled with modern siding on the outside and plastered walls on the inside. At the time, the Urban Renewal Project was tearing down old buildings to make room for the construction of the Demers Avenue Overpass and low-rent housing. When it came time for the demolition of this building, the workers noticed the logs underneath the siding and realized that this building might be historic. Members of the Historical Society knew that the building probably still existed, but due to its many moves, were not sure which house it was. Old photos of the first Post Office were compared with the log building, and verified that indeed it was Sanford Cady's log cabin. It was then moved to the grounds of the Grand Forks County Historical Society and made into a general store. It was moved one more time in 2004 for the flood protection project.
Some of the artifacts in the Post Office include:
Old mail station
Operator's station
Telephone repair "swing"
Tree trimmers
Save Our Post Office
GFCHS would like you to support Save Our Post Office by making a donation and spreading the word.
We need your help to save the oldest building in Grand Forks, the log cabin built in 1868 that served as our first Post Office in 1870.

Student Philanthropy Month
What is Student Philanthropy Month?
During the month of November, Oakland University student organizations and club sports teams compete to see who can raise the most for their organization and who can get the most donors.
A giving portal is created for the month where donors can choose to make a donation to their favorite organization or team.
Because of the emphasis on student giving, the scores will be calculated based on donations from current students only. However, other individuals can use the giving site to make a donation to the organization or club of their choice.
Organizations are eligible to win in two categories: Participation Score (number of student donors) and Fundraising Score (number of dollars from student donors):
Participation Score:
$1,000 for highest number of donors
$500 for runner-up
$250 for second runner-up
Fundraising Score:
$1,000 for highest total dollars raised
Organizations may only place in one category. A total of six organizations will receive a bonus. See full rules (below) for details.
For more information, call (248) 370-4349 or email giving@oakland.edu.

Q: My organization raises money for the Michigan Cancer Society every year. May we use the Oakland University crowdfunding site to do that?
A: Unfortunately, no. Gifts made to Oakland University may not be redirected to another nonprofit, charity, political campaign or other tax exempt group. Your organization is welcome to fundraise for them in other ways - though their own web site, bake sales or other events. We just cannot issue an OU receipt for those types of gifts.
Q: So what CAN we fundraise for?
A: Oakland University student organizations and club sports may raise funds to support their mission on campus. For club sports, this may mean purchasing equipment, practice time or other necessities. For student orgs, it might support things like travel to conferences and conference fees, printed educational materials such signs and brochures or special events the group holds. These are just examples, but contact us if you have any questions about what you can and cannot raise funds for. You may also choose an OU fund to raise funds for if your organization does not require additional operating funds.
Please note that all funds are deposited into your CSA Flex Account, so there may be rules and restrictions in place.
Q: My friend doesn't have a credit card. May I make a gift online for them even though I have already made a gift to the same organization?
A: Typically, we recommend they make a cash/check donation using this this short form to be sure their gift will count towards the participation score, since the system will view this as a gift from you. We review the "billing name" (the name that appears on the credit card) for all online gifts in order to check for duplicate donations and other inconsistencies. Due to the effects of COVID-19, this year we will only be accepting gifts made online.
Rules for student organizations
Challenge is open to all currently registered non-SAFAC OU student organizations, including club sports, that are in good standing with the CSA Office.
All activities around and funds raised or awarded as a result of this challenge are bound by all rules, policies and procedures in place for Oakland University student organizations and/or club sports and IRS regulations.
Organizations are eligible to win in one of two categories: Participation Score (number of student donors) and Fundraising Score (number of dollars raised from students).
Number of donors and number of dollars will be calculated from donations made by currently-enrolled students of Oakland University (verified with the Registrar's Office) prior to the start of December 1, 2020 (midnight). Participation will be calculated using the number of unique donors to that organization (multiple gifts from the same person will not be counted more than once for participation score, however the total gift amount in that case will still be included in the total fundraising score).
Gifts can be made online. If cash or check gifts are collected, please have the donor completely fill out this short form. Gifts under $5 will not receive a receipt. If there is no form turned in for cash donations, the total amount will be listed as coming from "anonymous", and will count towards dollars raised but not number of donors.
No goods or services may be exchanged in return for a donation (no quid pro quo), such as requiring a donation to receive an item or attend an event. Additionally, no funds from raffles, auctions, or third party events (such as a restaurant donating a percentage of their sales) will be accepted.
Giving site or other means of making a gift may only be used for charitable donations to the organization. Members may not pay their organization dues or other standard organization fees through these means.
A total of six organizations will receive an award. One organization may not win an award in each category. The organization will receive the award in whatever category they have the highest score, allowing other organizations to move up in the alternate category. If an organization has the same award level in both categories (ex. first place in both Participation Score and Fundraising Score) then they will take the award for Participation Score. This will continue until six unique organizations receive a bonus.

Hastie Fellowship
William H. Hastie Fellowship Program
Increasing the Diversity of the Law Teaching Profession
William H. Hastie
For over 40 years, the University of Wisconsin Law School's William H. Hastie Fellowship Program has provided aspiring scholars an outstanding opportunity to prepare for a career in law teaching. The Fellowship reflects a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and especially encourages applications from candidates of color and other underrepresented communities in the legal academy. The Hastie Fellowship is a two-year program. Fellows pursue a scholarly agenda of their choice, typically prepare two pieces for publication, and receive mentoring in both their teaching and scholarly work.
The University of Wisconsin established the Hastie Fellowship in 1973. It honors William H. Hastie (1904-1976), a lawyer, teacher, jurist and civil rights advocate who championed the importance of high-quality legal education. University of Wisconsin Law School Professor James E. Jones, Jr. (1924-2014), well-known as a leading expert in labor law and as the architect of several significant programs aimed at achieving greater racial equality in the work force, was a moving force in creating this program.
The Hastie Fellowship Program encourages scholarship in the full range of law studies. Wisconsin has a particularly strong tradition supporting studies of the law in action and interdisciplinary work. Fellows are encouraged to take full advantage of long-established ties between the law faculty and faculty in other disciplines, and they will have access to the vast resources of the entire University.
Each Hastie Fellow, before beginning work, establishes a relationship with a faculty member who will serve as the Fellow's principal research advisor. The fellow may also be paired with a second mentor and will have many opportunities to engage with additional members of the faculty, including members of the Hastie Fellowship Committee.
Hastie Fellows devote the majority of their time to their own research agenda, researching and writing scholarly articles with support from a faculty advisor and the Hastie Fellowship Committee. Typically, a Fellow prepares two publishable articles during their time in residence, and relies upon these articles in their applications for law teaching positions. Hastie Fellows can also receive an LL.M degree based upon the scholarly work they complete during the fellowship.
Another important aspect of the Hastie Fellowship Program is helping each Fellow develop strong teaching skills. Fellows have opportunities to observe teaching in their subjects of interest and discuss strategies with faculty members. In addition, Fellows typically elect to teach a course or seminar in their area of interest in the final semester of the program.
Fellows are also encouraged to become involved in the rich intellectual and social community of the Law School. For example, Fellows are welcome to attend faculty workshops, colloquia, and social gatherings; to engage with the many scholars and public officials who visit the Law School each year; and to participate in a range of student-sponsored activities.
Fellowship Term
The term and internal sequence of the Hastie Fellowship Program are designed to accommodate the needs for intensive research and writing, participation in the hiring process of law schools, and gaining teaching experience. Hastie Fellows will be appointed for a term of two years. During the term of the appointment, Fellows are required to be in residence in Madison and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin Law School, with a commitment to participating fully in the life of the Law School.
The first year of the program is devoted primarily to scholarship. By the fall of the second year, Fellows should be sufficiently advanced in their research to submit their applications to the law teaching market. The final semester in residence focuses on providing, whenever possible, a teaching experience and finishing the Fellow's publications.
The goal of the Hastie Fellowship Program is to contribute to diversity and inclusion in American law school teaching based on experience in and understanding of this country. For that reason, the Hastie Fellowship Committee strongly prefers applicants who have substantial life experience in the United States and whose basic law degree is from an accredited American law school.
Application materials are accepted beginning October 1st of every year. Candidates are encouraged to apply early.
Deadline for Fall 2019: February 1, 2019
To apply for the Hastie Fellowship Program, an applicant should submit the following to the Graduate Programs Office:

Q: How to create a Add function for a record database? In my program, I need to put an add function to insert categories. I'm using a treeView to show the data.
How can I model this class in a database?

The user insert the level, and the program must insert that category in that level. But I'm getting tired. Because it needs to check if the others levels exist (IE: The treeView is empty and I want to add 2.1, so it's an error).
Sometimes, you may add an already level setted and so that must be forbidden.
I need a little of help in my code. It's finished, but I want to improve it or fixed errors (if so).
Here is the code:
    private void AddButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        NorthwindDataContext cd = new NorthwindDataContext();

        int[] levels = LevelTextBox.Text.ToIntArray('.');
        string newName = NameTextBox.Text;

        int[] parentLevels = new int[levels.Length - 1];
        Array.Copy(levels, parentLevels, parentLevels.Length);
        Objective current = GetNode(levels);
        Objective parent = GetNode(parentLevels);

        if (current != null)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Level already exists");
            return;
        }
        else if (parent == null && parentLevels.Length != 0)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Parent level doesn't exist");
            return;
        }

        var newObjective = new Objective();
        newObjective.Name = newName;
        newObjective.Level = levels.Last();
        newObjective.Parent_ObjectiveID = parent == null ? null : (int?)parent.ObjectiveID;

        cd.Objective.InsertOnSubmit(newObjective);
        cd.SubmitChanges();

        MessageBox.Show("The new objective has added successfully");
        NameTextBox.Clear();
        LoadObjectives();
    }

    public Objective GetNode(params int[] indexes)
    {
        return GetNode(null, 0, indexes);
    }

    public Objective GetNode(int? parentid, int level, params int[] indexes)
    {
        NorthwindDataContext cd = new NorthwindDataContext();
        Objective item = null;

        if (indexes.Length == 0)
            return null;

        if (parentid == null)
        {
            item = (from p in cd.Objective
                    where p.Level == indexes[level] && p.Parent_ObjectiveID == null
                    select p).SingleOrDefault();

        }
        else
        {
            item = (from p in cd.Objective
                    where p.Level == indexes[level] && p.Parent_ObjectiveID == parentid
                    select p).SingleOrDefault();
        }

        if (item == null)
            return null;

        if (++level < indexes.Length)
            item = GetNode(item.ObjectiveID, level, indexes);

        return item;
    }

A: Why don't you let the user select a parent node to which the new category should be added? You could let them just click a parent node and then add a new node to it. No checks involved. I know that this does not answer your direct question, but your current approach is hard on you and your users.


A mucous cyst is pretty common. It is medically described as a swelling filled with a liquid that usually appears in the region of the lip or the mouth. However, for people in the age bracket of fifty to seventy, these blister-like cysts also start to affect the fingers. This is called digital mucous cyst. If you are alarmed by its occurrence, we are here to tell you that it is not such a big deal. Let's see why.
This ailment usually affects the joint of the finger, farthest from the knuckle. The mucous cyst is a kind of swelling, in the form of a small, sac-like structure. It is filled with a mixture of fluids commonly found in the human body. This ganglion is attached by way of a stalk to the distal (the side of the joint closer to the tip of the finger) part of the said joint. This swelling is what appears in the form of small bumps on fingers. Although most patients report a single bump on the surface, there may be concealed cysts deeper towards the joint. The reason for the formation of these cysts is a mystery to the medical community, although it has been noticed that the ailment strikes those who suffer from osteoarthritis. One of the numerous speculations mentions that the wasting away of the connective tissues – a feature common to old age and osteoarthritis – is responsible for the production of free collagen. This collagen accumulates to form little sacs and the fluid from the joint flows inward to fill the cyst.
What Are The Symptoms of Mucous Cyst on Fingers?
Heberden's nodes- a condition brought about by bone spurs.
How to Treat Mucous Cyst?
As such, mucous cysts on the fingers are usually painless and can stay just the same, without any treatment. Usually, it does not interfere with other body functions. However, if it turns painful, something needs to be done to relieve the pain.
This a fairly quick procedure, although it should be taken only when the pain becomes unbearable or the skin is just about to burst, or there are any nail deformities developing. After having received postoperative care, doctors normally perform the procedure under a localized anesthetic and take no more than half an hour, the post which, the patient is free to go home.
The affected finger is kept bandaged for a fortnight and the stitches removed hence. Ideally, if a bone spur is responsible for causing the cysts, it is recommended to get rid of the spur surgically before attacking the cyst, as otherwise there would only be a recurrence.
Along with the spur, the stalk attaching the cyst to the join also has to be removed. Sometimes, the cysts are too close to the skin, in which case the small patch of the skin may also have to go, which can be remedied by way of a skin graft.
http://www.handandwristinstitute.com/digital-mucoid-cysts/ – When ganglion cysts occur at the tip of the finger or in the nail bed, they are referred to as mucoid cysts. Unless they are close enough to the nail to cause deformity, they generally appear as a small, simple bump on the finger.
Although the surgical route is advised only under extreme scenarios, it reports a high degree of success; some studies suggest that nearly ninety-five percent of the patients report no relapse of the cysts.
Expedient as it may seem, draining the fluid from inside the cyst- a process called aspiration, which is done by pricking with a needle, is hardly the solution that works in this scenario. So usually, doctors prefer to have the cysts die naturally. In some cases, however, the mucous cyst may rupture, exposing the underlying joints to all kinds of infectious agents. This needs to be treated by way of antibiotics – either in the topical form or orally. If that does nothing to prevent the infection, surgery is mandatory.
Mucous cysts on the fingers can decidedly make them look not-so-dainty; after all, small bumps on the fingers are not exactly a sign of elegance. Unfortunately, this ailment has nothing to do with a lifestyle, but more to do with the body's reactions to advancing age. As medical practitioners delve deeper into its precise causes, maybe one day we shall be able to advise you on how to prevent the occurrence of digital mucous cysts, but till that time, all we can say is, its nothing to lose your sleep on!
Nail Technician's Salary: How Much They Earn?


Files on my Mac are valuable. Very valuable. Music, photos, documents, movies. Are they backed up?
Yes. Where? Online or offline? In my house, on my Mac, or somewhere else where it's really, really safe?
Mac360 has long preached save backups. We identified SuperDuper! as one of the best, fastest, most accurate, most valuable backup applications you can buy for a Mac.
We also pointed out the advantages of online backups using sources such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service on your Mac.
The advantage of a local backup of your Mac's data is obvious. When something goes wrong with your Mac or hard drive, your data is sitting there on another hard drive, ready to go almost instantly.
What happens if your house or office is robbed, burns down, or suffers some other calamity? I can't think of what would be worse than either of those, but you get the idea.
A simple backup to another hard disk sitting nearby doesn't cover the earthquake that levels your Mac, or the fire that melts the drive, or worse.
So, backup online. How hard can it be? It used to be difficult and expensive. Bandwidth was slow and space expensive.
These days, bandwidth is fast, getting faster, and less expensive, and hard drive space, even online, is nearly dirty cheap.
Enter CrashPlan, yet another automated off-site backup system for Mac, Windows, and Linux. CrashPlan was introduced during Macworld San Francisco. What? You only remember news about AppleTV and iPhone? Yep.
Backups should be easy, straightforward, fool-proof (despite humanity's ability to come up with ever ingenious fools), and affordable. CrashPlan fits into the Amazon S3 mode.
Once you install CrashPlan and determine which files to backup offline, the application runs silently in the background, updating files as they are changed on your Mac.
CrashPlan lets you store your files via CrashPlan Central. Files are stored off-site, away from your home or office. You can even retrieve your files using another computer in a different location.
Your files are compressed and encypted before they're sent to the CrashPlan storage location. There's nothing magical or unique with this, but CrashPlan also lets you store multiple copies of needed backup files.
Think of it as a poor man's version control. CrashPlan also does incremental backups. That means when a file changes, even a little, the whole file isn't backed up, just the part that changed.
My favorite option is CrashPlan's cross-platform, peer-to-peer backup service. You're not stuck with CrashPlan's offsite servers. You may also backup important data on another computer's hard drives in another location. All that's needed is access and an internet connection.
CrashPlan is mising some common features such as hard drive and bootable cloning, though such features are available in SuperDuper! and other applications. It's easy now to recommend both a local backup of important data, and an offline backup in case of a catastrophe.
Like the Amazon S3 service, CrashPlan Central lets you store data based on how much you need. 50 gigabytes of data for $5 a month, and an additional 10-cents per month per gigabyte.
If you have say 50 to 100 to 200 gigabytes of important data lying around, CrashPlan can be attractive, but not so affordable, and more than bit slow to upload, and as slow to download. It's only worse as the data requirements increase.
Still, for up to 50 gigabytes of data, CrashPlan is affordable and presents plenty of options for secure off-site backup.

Cinco de Starters-O: Cleveland State Vikings
By Patrick Barker | November 24, 2009 | 11:00am | 24
In an act of protest against the Ballroom Court and all things Mexico, Beisner has left me in charge of the Cinco de Starters-o. He even said he probably will be skipping his daily Corona today. So you're left with me. Deal with it. But it's a tough day for me as I really can't decide who I'm going to cheer for. Of course I love the Cats, but my aforementioned girlfriend is actually from Cleveland. Not only that, but I graduated from Rowan County and our mascot was the Vikings. Crazy! When you have all these different factors, I just don't know how I could wholeheartedly cheer for either side. On to your starters…
#30 Norris Cole, 6'2″, G, Junior
Cole is the key to the whole Cleveland State offense. He's averaging right around 21 a game and scored 38 against Florida A&M and 24 against Sam Houston. Cleveland.com is hyping this as the "toughest matchup" John Wall has seen to date. That kind of makes me laugh. Cole was named Preseason First Team All-Horizon League, which was a lot like me being named to the All-District team in middle school- it doesn't actually mean you're any good.
#3 Trevon Harmon, 6'3″, G, Sophomore
Harmon comes into this game second on the team in scoring with 10.3 points per game. He also averages an unremarkable 1.8 rebounds and shoots a blistering 30% from 3. It also looks like he may have started losing some time to Jeremy Montgomery, who is actually worse statistically across the board. I say Eric Bledsoe has this on Lockedown.
#23 Jared Cunningham, 6'9″, Junior, Forward
I hope Cleveland State goes to Jared. No word on if there are O'Charley's in Cancun, but suffice it to say I'm sure Boogie will be eating Big Cun's loaded potato soup. Watch for this guy though, it looks like he's got Coury Flurry-ish tendancies. He's started every game, but only averages about half as many minutes as his starting brethren.
#32 D'Aundray Brown, 6'4″, G/F
Cleveland State's website promotes Mr. Brown as "instant energy" and I have to agree. Just look at his face. If that doesn't say energy BTI will buy everyone a Red Bull. Brown leads the team in minutes per game (30) and averages a crazy 8 points per game. The website also hails Brown for his monumental achievement of making all four of his shot attempts to score 8 points against Youngstown St. in 2007. Awesome.
#44 Aaron Pogue, 6'9″, Sophomore, Forward
Someone tell me why I have heard this kid's name before. Was he a Billy Clyde recruit? Dustin? Anyone? Regardless, Pogue is a tree trunk of a man and leads the team in rebounding with 6.5 a game. In his free time, he enjoys baseball, video games and Dippin' Dots Ice Cream. By the way, if Dippin' Dots is the Ice Cream of the Future, just when does the future get here? That stuff has been around for ages. When it came out, this was the future. I digress. PPatt has no problem with this guy.
So there you have it. If you're reading this in Cancun, you should be jealous you're missing the 40-degree mist here in Lexington. I know I would be. Anyway, this is the very first meeting between Cleveland State and UK. I'm sure it will be a memorable one. I'm going to take the Cats in a very comfortable win, 88-65. Go Cats!

Okay, so this one's really tough for me. I love RotS. And it has some innovative design ... It takes the idea of a Metroidvania quest and packs it with puzzles. It makes fantastic use of its space and gets the most out of its small inventory of items.
Tabula Rasa, on the other hand, takes some huge risks in trying something completely new. Which, for my part, I found incredibly interesting, but not as satisfying as RotS as a finished quest.
In the end, I voted for Tabula Rasa, in spite of personally enjoying RotS as a whole more. But it's one of the tougher categories for me.


This fall marks an important event for market housing affordability in BC. On November 1 and 2, the Canadian Home Builders' Association of BC (CHBA BC), in partnership with housing sector stakeholders and all three levels of government, will host the Housing Affordability Symposium in Richmond, BC.
This event is the first of its kind, as it brings together stakeholders to openly discuss barriers and solutions to the affordability of market housing in BC. This symposium provides multiple interactive roundtable discussions among attendees. Join with the delegates, consisting of elected officials, construction industry leaders and members of government, to engage in this critical issue for the future of housing.
Results from the symposium will be used to prepare the follow-up report: Action Plan to Address Housing Affordability in BC. This document will be presented to government this year, and form the foundation for future discussions among all stakeholders, providing actionable items to address the issues.
On September 28, BCREA brought forward recommendations to improve housing affordability and tax fairness for BC homebuyers.
BCREA believes a fair system of taxation and a thriving economy will help citizens throughout BC enjoy an enviable quality of life and BCREA hopes that its recommendations will be considered to improve housing affordability with simple adjustments to the province's tax structure for the 2010 provincial budget.
To read the full pre-budget submission, visit the BCREA's website at www.bcrea.bc.ca/government-relations/shelter-taxes2011/provpre-budget.pdf.
Since the Strata Property Act took effect on July 1, 2000, BC REALTORS® have developed a unique understanding of this legislation by helping tens of thousands of British Columbians buy and sell strata properties. To help ensure the Act serves the public well, BCREA submitted a brief to the provincial government on October 13, which included several recommended improvements.
Potential buyers of strata properties need further and better information. Review and add new provisions to the Form B Information Certificate to require strata corporations to disclose more information about parking stalls and storage lockers, leased equipment, engineer's reports, depreciation reports and/or reserve fund studies, building envelopes, roofs and the number of strata lots that can be rented.
Strata corporations and property managers need clarifications regarding procedural matters. Create additional provisions to assist self-managed strata corporations; i.e., a best practices guide created by the Financial Institutions Commission or a schedule of best practices appended to the Strata Property Act, similar to the standard bylaws.
Strata corporations need an alternative dispute resolution process. Add new provisions in the Strata Property Act to create an alternative dispute resolution process for strata corporations, as introduced in Bill 8, Strata Property Amendment Act, 2009.
BCREA has asked that these recommendations be considered by the provincial government to help provide BC homebuyers with important information and protect the rights of strata property owners.
To read the full Strata Property Act brief and other BCREA submissions, visit the Association's website at www.bcrea.bc.ca/government-relations/government-relations-information.
The Ministry of Environment released its Water Act Modernization Engagement Report on September 7. The report summarizes months of public input into water planning and decision-making as BC responds to the impacts of climate change, population growth and increasing demands on the province's fresh water supply.
Rules and standards for water management are clearly defined, providing a predictable investment climate across the province. Received the most comments, and consistently attracted concern from many sectors. Overall, a majority of respondents do not support this. Comments indicated that the term "predictable investment climate" should be more clearly defined or removed.
Further consultations are expected to begin in October. Click here for the full report: www.livingwatersmart.ca/water-act/docs/wam_report-on-engagement.pdf.

Hello, I am looking to run a panoramic dual monitor setup with my IBM Thinkpad X20 laptop. I have a docking station, its part number is IBM 08N1180, but I do not believe I can run a monitor display from it.
However, my laptop itself has a HD15F connector in the back. The 2 monitors I will be using use HD15M connectors. What options do I have to run a panoramic dual monitor display with my system?
I've heard of HD15F splitters which sound promising, would these be any help?
Thanks for the reply! Any recommendations as to what video card I should purchase for my Thinkpad X20. The model is a bit older and is running XP Professional, has 320 mb RAM, and a Pentium 3 500MHZ processor.
Or perhaps there is something I can buy to install in my docking station?

CR245 Exceptions and Exclusions Benefits excluded for hospitalisation
Exceptions and Exclusions
Benefits excluded for hospitalisation – mental disease or disorder – an interpretation of the policy wording
In denying liability the insurance company relied upon an exclusion in the policy for mental diseases or disorders. The policyholder denied mental illness.
The policy provided cash benefits relating to periods spent in hospital. The policyholder was admitted to a general medical ward for a period of 4 days suffering from acute tubulo-intestital nephritis/pyelonephritis. She was subsequently transferred to a general psychiatric ward for a further period of 5 days with a new diagnosis – severe depressive episode without psychotic symptoms. A psychiatrist subsequently diagnosed major depression.
The claim for the period spent in the general medical ward was admitted and payment made in accordance with the general terms and conditions of the policy. Because the policy excluded "….hospital confinement consequent upon, or contributed to by, mental disease or disorder", the claim for the period spent in the psychiatric ward was declined.
The issue was whether depression is a mental disease or disorder.The great majority of depressed people do not have a 'mental disease or disorder'. In this case the office accepted that depression is not a mental disease, but took the view that when a non-psychotic patient is sufficiently depressed to warrant treatment as an inpatient in a psychiatric ward, 'disorder' would be an appropriate descriptive term; it indicated a disturbance of orderly function.
The insertion of a 'disorder' in the exclusion clause, in addition to 'disease', would indicate that a condition different to a disease was intended, and the contract therefore intended to exclude a condition such as that for which the complainant was treated in the psychiatric ward.
We supported the insurance company's claim for the period spent in the psychiatric ward.
