Chennai, Feb 24: It was one of the best Test innings in India and came from the home captain. MS Dhoni was just brilliant at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. On way to an exceptional double hundred, Dhoni broke few records in the first Test against Australia.

At stumps on third day, Dhoni had powered India to 515/8 in 141 overs with a lead of 135. He was 206 not out (243 balls, 23x4, 5x6) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar on 16.

Dhoni's double ton puts India in command

The third day's play was entirely dominated by Indian batsmen and Virat Kohli and Dhoni in particular. Kohli struck a century but Dhoni carried on to secure his first double.

The wicketkeeper-batsman set a record for highest Test score by an Indian stumper. Dhoni, when on 193, beat Budhi Kunderan's Indian record of 192. Kunderan too had scored those runs in Chennai against England in 1964.

Also, Dhoni set a new mark for the highest score for wicketkeeper-captain, erasing Englishman Alec Stewart's 164. He also became only the fourth Indian captain to register a double hundred after Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and MAK Pataudi.

Dhoni also moved to second spot in highest score by an Indian captain, behind Tendulkar's 217. The man from Jharkhand also now holds the highest score by an Indian captain against Australia.

The holiday crowd that arrived at the stadium was expecting a three-figure score from Tendulkar. But instead they were privileged to witness one of the best 200s in Test cricket. Very few have managed to score a double ton in a day's play.

The way Dhoni attacked offspinner Nathan Lyon was a lesson for the visitors. Dhoni smashed four sixes and eight boundaries off Lyon and ransacked 91 from 73 balls. Australia's number one spinner was humiliated by the Indian captain and he won't forget this in a hurry. Lyon's final analysis read 40-1-182-3.

Right from the start, Dhoni preferred to be aggressive. He walked out to the middle when India were 196/4 in 63.1 overs. First he had a fine partnership with Kohli and then farmed the strike with Bhuvneshwar. Dhoni-Bhuvneshwar's ninth wicket association has so far yielded a record 109.

It was a "Captain Cool" innings that left the Australians feeling the heat. And he is still not finished yet.

At tea, India 371/6

Virat Kohli's fine hundred and captain MS Dhoni's brilliant counter-attacking innings led India closer to Australia's first innings total on the third day of the first Test here on Sunday.

Kohli and Dhoni's splendid batting display took India to 371/6 at tea with the captain on 97 not out (116 balls, 12x4 1x6) and R Ashwin (3 not out).

Kohli hit his fourth Test hundred and second in a row. This was also his second century against the Australians. The Delhi youngster hit 15 fours and a six in 107 off 206 balls. He reached the landmark with a boundary off James Pattinson in the 87th over. Soon he fell to Nathan Lyon, caught by Mitchell Starc at mid-on.

In the post-lunch session, India lost the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja for 16. He left an incoming ball from Pattinson and had the offstump disturbed.

It was all Kohli-Dhoni show. After Australia took the second new ball for the 83rd over, Dhoni smashed the new cherry to all parts of the ground. Switching to ODI mode, he raced to 85 off 79 balls but slowed down nearing his century. From 85 to 97 he consumed 37 deliveries.

At lunch, India 263/4

It was disappointment for the Sunday crowd as Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed for 81, bowled by Nathan Lyon on the third day of the first India-Australia Test here. At lunch, India were 263/4 in 79 overs.

It was an excellent spell of bowling from pacemen Peter Siddle and James Pattinson where India did not manage to score a run for more than four overs. Soon, fast bowlers made way to Lyon and he struck with the pitch already showing variable bounce.

Tendulkar, going for a drive, inside-edged the ball and was bowled through the gate. The ball hit the legstump. It was a classical offspinner's dismissal. The ball did hit one of the footmarks on the pitch.

After Tendulkar's dismissal, captain MS Dhoni arrived and started attacking the bowlers. He and  Kohli added 67 runs in quick time and went to lunch. Dhoni is 37 not out and Kohli is unbeaten on 83.

It was a riveting first hour of play where Australia bowlers dominated. But that advantage shifted to India when Dhoni and Kohli took the aggressive route. With one over before the second new ball is available, another two hours of keen contest beckons.

Start of the day update

All eyes are on Tendulkar as third day's play began here on Sunday in the first Test between India and Australia. Will Tendulkar get a hundred is the question today.

Tendulkar and Virat Kohli looked good on Saturday and took India to 182/3. Tendulkar is on 71 and Kohli on 50. India are trailing by 198 runs.

Tendulkar is without a century for more than two years. His last Test hundred was against South Africa in January, 2011.

The Conduit Preview

Hey folks, Valkor here. To quote a song by Ice Cube, “Today was a good day”. Not only was the weather perfect, but I was able to spend such a splendid day trekking the streets of NYC, making my way to the Royalton Hotel, where I was able to hang with the folks of High Voltage and Sega. The team unveiled an incredible game that’s exclusive to the Wii system called “The Conduit”. I was allowed full hands on, on a near complete version of the game, so that I may give you guys the full scoop as to whether this game is purchase… and it is.

The Conduit is a first person shooter (FPS) that takes place in Washington D.C. and puts you in the role of Michael Ford (Voiced by Mark Shepard) whose part of an organization called “The Trust”. Michael is new to the job and his first task is to uncover the reasoning behind a secret alien attack, from creatures called “The Drudge”. The story unfolds mostly through cut-scenes and transmissions from other characters who will aid you in your quest such as John Adams (Voiced by William Morgan Sheppard) and Prometheus (voiced by Kevin Sorbo). Wide varieties of weapons are at your disposable; earth and alien alike. I have an affinity for the Strike rifle, which fires hot bursts of flames that can be charged to turn enemies into a white hot mess. And you also have a unique tool called the ASE. This ASE is an orb like object, covered in symbols (obvious alien tech) and has multiple uses such as finding and translating hidden alien text, find locks to open alien doors, revealing a trail to show where you need to go, acts as a flashlight, detonates alien bombs, and can even act as binoculars allowing you to see ahead.

The game’s gimmick is that it’s customizable and what that means is it allows you to customize the controls to fit your needs precisely. If you’re new to FPS gaming or hardcore, there’s a setting that’s just right for you and you can adjust the settings as you play and see how it affects gameplay; this way you get the gameplay you want, not how the developers want you to play it. But in there defense, default mode is no slouch and in just a few minutes you’ll be rockin in no time. Yes it’s that easy to get in. The game requires the use of both Wii controls (The nunchuks) and every button, which are also customizable to fit your needs. Mind you I don’t own a Wii and rarely play Wii games, but this game’s controls are easy to get into.

Another cool gimmick about the game is the enemy A.I.; they’re pretty smart. If you point your weapon at them, the enemy will dip past your shots, duck for cover or run and hide, peeking out to see if it’s safe for them to strike. When you have to reload they’ll pounce on you. And if you think there’s a pattern to them… think again. First time you meet they might charge, next time shoot you from a distance, and the next they will simply toss a grenade at you.

Overall the game is pretty intense and it’s so gratifying when you get off the perfect shot. I loved it when I hit a guy directly with a grenade and his body exploded everywhere. Mmmmm…. After a hard days night I can see how this can relieve some tension. The game has nine missions and 13 multiplayer modes. One mode, The Bounty Hunter has me most intrigued. From how it was explained, you’re given a target and you must seek out that target, but at the same time someone will be targeting you. You gain points if you hit your target, but you lose points if you hit anyone else. This will make for some extremely delicate gameplay, because how can resist filling a guy full of hot plasma… wait I don’t mean that as bad as it sounds.

I’ll have more of “The Conduit” as we get closer to its release, plus I’ll get more hands on with the game and the multiplayer facets at E3. So stay tuned for more coverage of this very unique title. But if you ask me, I think High Voltage has a hit on their hands.

Valkor out!

Sojourn in Slovakia: The Sequel. Day 1

Friday, June 15, 2012

As soon as the plane touched down on the runway at Prague airport, I was ready to make my move to get off as quickly as possible.  Thankfully, I had no carry-on luggage in any of the overhead bins.  As soon as we got to the gate and were given the signal that we could unhook our seatbelts and get up, I did.  I grabbed my backpack and purse from under the seat and stood up in the aisle.  I usually don't do this, but I was really nervous about making it in time to catch my next flight to Košice.  We arrived 10 minutes later than our scheduled time.  It was going to be very close.  When I got off the plane I heard other people say they were on the flight to Košice too.  We were all running and agreed that whoever got to the gate first would let them know others were coming (about a dozen of us in all).  Of course we landed just about as far away as the connecting gate you could get.  We had to stop at Passport control, then go through security (everything out of the bags, etc. again).  There was a bit of a delay, but thankfully I got through security without a hitch.  Then I had to dash up the escalator, and a bit further to the gate (I knew I should of done that marathon training).  I got to the gate and people were still there.  I saw my cousins!  I ran up to them and hugged them!  "I made it!" I exclaimed.  My cousin then told me the flight was delayed (about 30 minutes).  I was so relieved!  My cousin bought me a bottle of water and I got to sit a bit and catch my breath.  Soon, it was time to board the small plane for Košice. My cousins were seated three rows in front of me.  The flight was not full and I got the row to myself.  The flight was quick (a little over an hour).

As we made our descent into Košice, I could see the blue exterior of US Steel Plant.  Seeing the mill complex, I was reminded of my hometown of Duquesne, Pennsylvania. The landing was smooth and we walked the short distance to the airport and waited for our luggage.  Would my suitcase be there? Finally, I saw it!!  I made it.  My suitcase made it.

We walked out through the arrival door and found our taxi driver, Erik, standing outside waiting for us with a sign “Lisa Alzo.” He spoke English and was very helpful, taking us to the train station so we could exchange our U.S. dollars for Euros.  As we were leaving the train station it started to rain and the showers continued as Erik drove us to our destination—Vranov.  He told us a lot about the area, and as it turns out he has the same surname as my father’s best friend (he said he had relatives who settled in Pittsburgh, and there is a possibility there is a connection).  Also, his grandmother was from Hanigovce (the same area as my maternal grandmother).

When we reached the Hotel Patriot Vranov Nad Toplou, the rain had stopped and our cousins were waiting for us.  After we settled the taxi fare and made arrangements for Erik to assist us with return trips to Košice airport, it was time for hugs.  It was so great to see my cousins Renata and Robert again after two years  After a brief visit, we checked into our rooms.

My room was a single room (big enough for me) with its own bathroom.  However, there was no air conditioning.  They provided a desktop fan and I had to open the windows (it was very warm).   After we unpacked and freshened up, we went down to the restaurant to have a bite to eat.  I had a grilled chicken salad and a diet coke.

After dinner, I went to my room to settle in for the night, I was really glad I had packed two items:  a battery operated personal travel fan, and an Off Clip On Fan Circulated Mosquito Repellent

In order to beat the jet lag (Slovakia is 6 hours ahead of New York time), I tried to stay up until my normal bedtime.  Since I had free Wi-Fi, I checked my e-mail and social media sites and then it was time to turn out the lights and get some rest in preparation for the next day.

Isn't that the story of most travelers? Hurry up and wait! Glad you were able to make the connection. More important: glad your suitcase made it!!!

I am loving the chance to "experience" your trip with you as you recount it here on your blog.

CMPointer said...

Okay, Lisa. When get outta the United States again, I want you to be traveling with me. A battery-operated fan & mosquito repellant thingy? You're better than Bear Grylls.

And? When you said there was no a/c I thought, "Oh crap. There's not gonna be any wifi."

And? Are you telling me their wifi was free when the Marriott's is SO not? *snort*

Love it! You have me wondering what other nifty gadgets you've brought along on this sojourn.

near side is nearest to the pavement
Question Author
thanks i thought as much but the other option sounded plausible too !
It is dangerous to say Nearside or Offside, think about it, do you live in the UK or on the continent and drive on the right?

The recognised way is to say right side or left side as your sat in the vehicle.
or driver's side/passenger side.
Drivers or passenger side are different depending on country you are in.
driver is always in the middle of the road no matter what country dumbass!!!!!!
Toureman, I think that will make a difference only if you are speaking to someone from a country where they drive differently (apart from the small number of left-hand-drive cars in this country), so in practice there is unlikely to be confusion. Every Brit knows which side the driver's side is. So does every American.
Nearside and offside are terms most well known by the motor trade. They are terms that VOSA use to describe which side of a car is meant in the MOT test.
Left side and right side were not acceptable terms by VOSA when the MOT fails were handwritten.
just remember that Alfa's have a lousy reliability record. We live opposite an Alfa dealership and often see them returning on low loaders

Albert Dürer: “Self-portrait as the Ecce Homo”, c.1500

In addition of being the unquestionable genius of the German Renaissance, and one of the most important artists of the whole History of Art, Albrecht Dürer is the first master of the self-portrait. Dürer pictured himself in numerous paintings and drawings, the first of them created when he was only 13 years old. After this early work he created masterpieces like the self-portrait exhibited at the Louvre, in which Dürer depicted himself as a young, self-confident and proud artist, a role accentuated in the famous self-portrait (1498) exhibited at the Prado Museum in Madrid, in which the German artist combined the portrait with a beautiful landscape seen through a window.

The “self-portrait as Ecce Homo” in Munich is arguably the most developed of all the self-portraits painted by Dürer. While at first glance the fact of portraying himself as Jesus Christ could be interpreted as an act of self-idolatry, it should be noticed that the image of the Ecce Homo is the quintessential representation of pain and suffering. Humanity as a symbol and essence of the artist.

A federal judge in New York ruled Monday that the government can’t use a 227-year-old law to compel Apple to unlock an iPhone that may contain information useful to a criminal investigation.

The 1789 law, the All Writs Act, is also the cornerstone of the government’s argument in a related case in San Bernardino, California, where the FBI and Apple have faced off in an uncharacteristically public manner.

The Monday decision came from James Orenstein, a magistrate judge in Brooklyn, who had previously expressed doubt that the All Writs Act sanctions the government’s request of Apple.

In his opinion, Orenstein pointed to two reasons why he rejected the government’s reasoning. Orenstein said that Congress already considered legislation that would grant the government the power to ask for the assistance it seeks—but did not end up adopting it. He’s referring here a proposed extension to CALEA, a 1994 law that requires telecommunications companies to provide certain information and assistance to law enforcement. Congress debated expanding CALEA to include companies like Apple, but ultimately didn’t do so.

Second, he rejected the request because it didn’t meet a test established by a 1977 Supreme Court case. That precedent requires a judge to consider three specific factors when deciding whether or not to issue an order under the All Writs Act. The factors are: “the closeness of Apple's relationship to the underlying criminal conduct and government investigation; the burden the requested order would impose on Apple; and the necessity of imposing such a burden on Apple.” Orenstein found the government’s case wanting on all three factors.

The timing of Orenstein’s order is conspicuous. After considering the government’s request for months, he released his decision the very week that dozens of organizations and individuals plan to file briefs supporting either Apple or the FBI in the parallel case in California.

The help that the government asked from Apple in New York is not the same as what it’s asking in California. In New York, the government wanted Apple to extract data from an iPhone running an older operating system; in California, the government asked Apple to create new software that would help the FBI break into an encrypted iPhone. Apple makes a persuasive case that the government’s ask in California is more burdensome.

One of the points that Orenstein made in his order—that CALEA essentially exempts Apple from being subject to an order under the All Writs Act—is the exact same one Apple lawyers made in the San Bernardino case last week. While Sheri Pym, the magistrate judge in the San Bernardino case, will arrive at her own, independent decision there, Apple’s win in New York won’t go unnoticed.

A senior Apple executive praised the judge’s conclusion in a call with reporters Monday, and noted that it is “precisely on point in the San Bernardino case.”

“This is not a binding precedent,” the executive said, on condition of anonymity. “But this is the first time that a court has looked specifically at this issue.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that he’s willing to take the San Bernardino case all the way to the Supreme Court, so Orenstein’s words may later end up being scrutinized by a panel of justices that is itself in turmoil.

AquaFit finally open

Heather McIntyre

Paul Tichelaar tried out a few sports before committing to swimming at the age of 10. He would wake up prior to the sun multiple times per week to carpool to Leduc.

Now, kids in Beaumont that are interested in joining a swim club, taking swim lessons or simply going for a dip can do something Tichelaar, now a 26-year-old Olympian and two-time national champion triathlete, never got to do - sleep in.

The S&D Aqua-Fit Centre officially opened on Oct. 30

"I'm excited for the youth of Beaumont to have that opportunity," he said at the grand opening ceremony.

The S&D Aqua-Fit Centre has been a long time coming and its doors officially opened to the public on Oct. 30 with a grand opening which was followed by an open house with free public access.

"This is a big, historical day for the Town of Beaumont," said Marc Landry, chief administrative officer. "A lot of work has been put into this major project."

The overall cost of what is the biggest municipal infrastructure building project in the town's history is on budget at $13.8 million. More than $1.3 million has been fundraised and $9.5 million has been received through provincial grants.

Leduc County will contribute $1.08 million over the next five years, coupled with $25,000 annually for operational funding. The annual operating deficit for the centre will be $906,300, but annual recovery should be more than 50 per cent.

"We realize that our county residents are using it," said Leduc County Mayor Marvin Molzan. "So it's kind of incumbent upon us to help out here."

Beaumont Mayor Camille Berube said that with a town average age of 31, he expects a fully utilized centre.

Youth are really going to benefit from the centre through lessons, a swim club and aquatic sessions in school curriculums.

"A building like this is absolutely critical in facing some of (the) issues (facing youth today)," said Mike Lake, MP for Edmonton-Mill Woods-Beaumont. "What a fantastic facility."

David Yee of S&D International Group told the group of gathered residents from Beaumont and area that health and family are everyone's top priorities.

"This is the reason we're supporting this," said Yee.

Yee added that with the addition of such a facility, Beaumont is "a complete town."

Yet another soft serve brand where long queues all-day are a normal scenario, Honey Crème must be doing something better than the rest of its competitors. It offers a wide variety of flavours, some of which are introduced seasonally, and they come in generous portions for the prices you can afford.

  • Rich, smooth, and silky soft serve ice cream: At Honey Crème, the soft serve ice cream shows a perfect balance between all flavours and the way they were mixed up altogether (i.e. handmade technique). Hence, the rich and silky smooth consistency.

  • New flavours may be introduced occasionally: This year’s Chinese New Year, Honey Crème had Alishan milk tea and Yuan Yang flavours on its menu. And to celebrate SG50, this ice cream parlour introduces the local favorite flavour Honey Creme Pandan Gula Melaka from 1 Jun 2015 to 30 Sep 2015. So remember to watch out for the new flavour specials during public holidays or important occasions.

  • Organic cotton candy: Indeed, a fresh spin on this candy floss, the cotton candy is made healthier than before with the use of organic sugar and natural flavouring. The cotton candy is also stuffed with Italian pink rock salt to balance out the natural sweetness of both of the candy and the ice cream.

Honey Crème have more than ten flavours on its daily menu. The flavours range from classic to signature ones like Organic Mixed Grains, Macaroon, Dark Chocolate, Honeycomb, and Chocolate Beans. Coffee lovers with a sweet tooth may like the Organic Cotton Candy Affogato flavour. You can drizzle a shot of espresso into the cotton candy however you like it.

The toppings may vary depending on the flavour of your choice. It can be as simple as dark chocolate syrup for the dark chocolate flavour. Or, it can be as complex as having a mixture of grains such as brown rice, flax seeds, oats, pearl barley, soy beans, rye, black sesame seeds, and black glutinous rice.

GUI App Screenshot

2016-09-14 – macOS Sierra note: The patch works in macOS Sierra, but it seems that Xcode Developer Tools might not upgrade properly in some cases. If you experience any issues with code signature, try reinstalling Xcode tools (xcode-select --install) and then patch again.  See this github issue for details.

This is a patch for removing the default OS X behavior of always starting iTunes when the play button on the keyboard is pressed. This feature can be useful for a lot of users, but it can also be annoying if you are using VLC, Nightingale or other similar programs that support the media keys.

The application will patch the Remote Control Daemon to prevent it from starting iTunes whenever you press the play button on the keyboard or an external remote control. This will only prevent iTunes from starting, all other functions (like play/pause while iTunes is running) will continue to work as before. The original file is backed up in case you would like to restore the original functionality.

You can find the source code on github.

OS X El Capitan, macOS Sierra Compatibility

This patch works by modifying a system file (rcd). With the new System Integrity Protection (SIP) functionality introduced in El Capitan you have to take additional steps to temporarily disable SIP. Hopefully I will get some time soon to update the binary to guide through this, but for now here is what you have to do.

  1. Boot into recovery
  2. Launch terminal once booted into recovery: Utilities menu > Terminal
  3. Disable SIP: csrutil disable
  4. Restart and log in as you would normally. Validate that SIP is disabled by running the following command in terminal: csrutil status It should say disabled.
  5. Run the iTunes Patch dmg and continue with the patching.
  6. Once the GUI shows that it has successfully patched, boot back into recovery to re-enable SIP.
  7. Launch terminal once booted into recovery: Utilities menu > Terminal
  8. Re-enable SIP: csrutil enable
  9. Restart. The patch should be applied now without disabling SIP forever.

Reporting Issues

Please click the “Report an issue…” button in the application and it will present the option for submitting issues. You can always contact me directly as well.

2015-03-02 farhan: Published the GUI app (version 1.0). The command line patch is still available in the download section.

2014-12-21 farhan: I am almost done with a new GUI based app. Please see the download section below for details.

2013-05-11 farhan: Updated to 0.8.2. Added step to self-sign the modified binary. This should prevent rcd from crashing on Mountain Lion. Thanks to user48986 at AskDifferent .

2016-09-14 farhan: Confirmed that the GUI app works in macOS Sierra.

    This worked back when I had Yosemite, but when I updated to macOS Sierra, when I reinstalled the code, I was meet with an error stating: Unxpected Error, Could not codesign he modified binary. I did have SIP disabled so that should not be the problem.

    • Hi Timmy,

      Run this command in terminal and then try the patch again.

      xcode-select –install

      – Farhan

      • Grateful User of iTunes Patch

        Unfortunately installing xcode did not help in my scenario. I’m also using the latest ios Sierra.
        After running the “xcode-select –install” command, I rebooted into recovery mode and ran “csrtutil disable.” I then rebooted again, confirmed SIP was disabled (“csrutil status”). Tried to use the patch, but still got the error.

        Unexpected error, could not codesign the modified binary.

        And, thanks for an awesome patch + all the support you’re providing.

        • Not sure why this may be. Can you share the log file?

  • Jimmy

    I’m on Sierra, and this patch now only works until the next reboot for me (SIP is permanently disabled). Additionally, Spotify (my preferred music player) has stopped responding to the headset buttons altogether.

    • Hi, Jimmy. I am surprised to hear that it only works until the next boot. After rebooting when you start the patch GUI does it say that rcd is already patched or does it show it as unpatched?

      • Jimmy

        It shows as patched.

        • If that’s the case then I am guessing that it is likely another app interrupting. Can you please create a new ticket on github so we can effectively track this down?

Republican Strategist Karl Rove is a man known for creating aggressively partisan, anti-Democrat ads. He did it recently with an anti-Hillary Clinton bit and was scolded for it by The Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol.

In the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan says Rove shouldn’t take his Rovian approach to the IRS scandal, either.

From Noonan’s Friday column:

[I]t would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game. It’s not part of the game. This is not about the usual partisan slugfest. This is about the integrity of our system of government and our ability to trust, which is to say our ability to function.

Hepatitis B resuts --> Needs interpretation
Aug 23, 2009

Hi, I recently had Hepatitis B test and I know I am positive for Hepatitis B but I have no clue what are the rest of the test means.

Anti HAV IGM : Nonreactive Patient Count : 0.03 Cut-off Value : 0.50

Anti-HCV : Non Reactive

Anti HBC IGG : REACTIVE Patient's Count: 0.00 Cut-off Value : 1.00

Anti HBC IGM : REACTIVE Patient Count : 32 Cut-off Value : 10

Anti HBE : REACTIVE Patient Count : 0.00 Cut-off Value : 0.40

HBS AG : REACTIVE Patient Count : 42.47 Cut-off Value : 0.13

HBS AB : NONREACTIVE Patient Count : < 5 mUI/ml Cut-off Value : 5

HBE AG : NONREACTIVE Patient Count : 00.00 Cut-off Value : 0.10

Since I am Hepatitis positive, is there any way to treat it? What are the things I should do & should not do if ever I will change any lifestyle habit? Am I considered Acute or Chronic? Please Help.

Response from Dr. McGovern

Your IgM is reactive so this is acute HBV infection.

You will probably clear on your own but this needs careful follow-up testing to be sure. This will be known in about six months. I suspect you will do well since most adults clear (about 95%). Would avoid alcohol in the meantime to decrease any chance of liver injury.

You should not have unprotected sex or share needles or razors with anyone else while you may have high levels of hepatitis B virus in your blood. Your doctor probably offered hepatitis B immunization to your household and sexual contacts at the time of diagnosis. If not, I would still offer immunization to your household and sexual contacts who have not been immunized in the past.

human parvovirus

Jun 18, 1998

does this virus belong to the hiv or retrovirus family like herpes?

Response from Mr. Sowadsky

Hi. Thank you for your question. Human Parvovirus B19 is a DNA virus (not a retrovirus, which is made of RNA). This virus is in the Parvoviridae family of viruses. This is a very common virus. In the USA, it is estimated that roughly 5-10% of children less than 5 years old have had the virus. In adults, it is estimated that greater than 50% have been infected sometime in their life.

This virus is transmitted primarily through respiratory secretions. It can also be transmitted from mother-to-child, and rarely by receiving a blood transfusion.

Human Parvovirus B19 can cause an illness called "Erythema Infectiosum", also known as "Fifth Disease". However, more than 25% of infections may be asymptomatic (no symptoms at all). This infection can cause a rash on the cheeks, trunk of the body, and the extremities, especially in children. Adults do not normally have a rash, but can have joint pain lasting for several days to several months. The symptoms of this illness resembles the symptoms of many other illnesses. Only a doctor can diagnose this infection, through laboratory tests. The symptoms generally begin 4-20 days after infection, but this period of time is variable from one person to another. Generally speaking, this virus is most infectious just before the rash begins and is probably not infectious after the onset of the rash. This infection often resolves on its own. This virus can also cause complications in pregnant women.

In persons with weakened immune systems (including AIDS), this virus can also cause severe chronic anemia (low red blood cell count), which can then lead to severe fatigue. In people with damaged immune systems and severe anemia, this infection may be infectious for months to years. Intravenous immunoglobulin has been successfully used to treat anemia in immunosupressed persons with anemia, but relapses can occur.

For most people, this virus is not a significant concern, since many people do not show any symptoms, or the symptoms resolve on their own. However, in persons with weakened immune systems and in pregnant women, this virus can cause significant clinical problems. Therefore, if at all possible, persons with weakened immune systems and pregnant women, should avoid contact with persons known to be infectious for this virus.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to call the Centers for Disease Control at 1.800.232.4636 (Nationwide).

My cat vomits when I go on vacation

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter
Hi there, I have two 6 year old cats that I have had since they were 9 weeks old. They aren't "normal" independent type cats. They seek out human attention and enjoy our company. I call them dog cats. That said, we used to be able to go on away over a weekend leaving them with enough food and water and they would be fine. (If we are gone longer than 2 nights we either have someone stay with them or come over once a day and feed/water and take care of their litter box).

Over the past year, I've discovered that one of them seems to start vomitting while we are gone and keeps vomitting for several days after we get back. I think he might be stressed out from lack of attention or something like that because he doesn't act lethargic or out of sorts and it's not hair balls. It's food. Sometimes partially digested and sometimes not.

Help! We are going out of town for a full week and I don't want to come home to puke piles all over my house (we are renting and the carpets are suffering). Has anyone else ever experienced this? Are there any solutions for me?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
post #2 of 6
Can you have someone they know very well and adore come over once, or better yet twice a day? Maybe this would help. Have the person at least stay an hour or more with them a day, just doing people things like watching tv.

What could be happening is that they're eating up all their food that first night, making themselves sick, then not getting enough to eat the second night. This combined with the stress of their people being gone could attribute to them being unwell for a few days after you return.

But, better safe then sorry - have a vet thoroughly check them both out before you leave and make sure the vet's numbers (regular office hours and emergency) are on the fridge or somewhere else easy to remember for the sitter

Another idea is to set the TV timer to be on a few hours a day or night, and leave it on a nature channel. If they're use to hearing this it may make them feel like the home schedule hasn't been changed up so much.
post #3 of 6
Although it's best for cats to remain at home, if your cat becomes ill like this perhaps he'd do better boarded at the vet while you're gone? If so, you probably should board them both. A friend of mine regularly boards her cats, and her vet keeps her two together which is less stress for them.

I am facing leaving my new boy for the first time in November (week-long cruise), and he is VERY, VERY attached. So I have someone who will live in my house while I'm gone plus a neighborhood teen who will come in every afternoon to play with him and give him the "loving" he craves. This cat has to be cuddled almost daily. I'm hoping this works. I share it because perhaps you can get a "live-in" sitter for yours.
post #4 of 6
Thread Starter
Thanks for your advice. I might consider boarding them. We just moved here and don't know anyone that would be willing to come and spend that much time with them. We have a great neighbor that comes over once a day to feed and water them and I think her and her daughter spend 15-20 minutes with them.

I'm thinking about getting some Rescue Remedy for that week and hoping it will calm him down.

I don't believe that it's him eating all his food and not having enough the next day because there's always left over food when we get back.
post #5 of 6
One of our boys is prone to reacting with his stomach. It is not too uncommon to find some barely digested kibbles purged around when we come home from being away. We leave boys alone if we are away just for one night but any longer they have their boy-nanny coming over. Since we started using a regular guy who they like and who does not just come over to feed/empty litter boxes this separation puking seems to have lessened.

We have a container full of food when we are away, so Ossi has never faced a no-food catastrophy. It's still stressful for him to be home alone with furbies only, and we suspect that he overeats in his anxiety, then vomits. Since we found this great nanny (he comes over and watches movies/studies and plays with the kitties for hours), the puking behavior has drastically lessened. Ossi is still the one who gets the most clingy after we come back so we suspect it all had to do with his nerves. Luckily we now have an arrangement that works for him and us better.

Good luck finding something that will get your puke-master in check!
post #6 of 6
Have you tried feliway diffusers? You plug them in the electric socket and it calms nervous or stressed kitties down. It is not cheap but not too expensive either. I have used it with my friends nervous kitty and it works. I know a lot of people on this site have used it and may have more knowledge of it and how it works but I would suggest looking into it . I board my kitty when we go away as we have not been where we live long and he seems to love his hols too!!

Forensic lab closure a blow to justice

For better or worse, evidence is being outsourced.

click to enlarge RCMP headquarters, a red brick building on Oxford Street, is pictured.
  • If these RCMP forensic lab walls could talk.

Halifax’s RCMP forensic lab is closing in March—a move that will either make our clogged justice system more efficient, or delay it further.

Forensic labs in Regina and Winnipeg already closed in March 2014, and the Halifax lab will be the final closure of the nationwide consolidation process. Local crime investigators will now ship evidence to labs in Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver for analysis.

The federal government says reducing the number of labs from six to three will save an estimated $3.5 million a year, and increase efficiency. But some defense lawyers have grave concerns about the Halifax lab closure. Attorney Joel Pink believes the lab consolidation will likely increase the time it takes a criminal case to move through the justice system.

Imagine a case of impaired driving causing death, Pink says. Police take a blood sample from the accused and send it to one of the three surviving labs. The accused doesn’t have to enter a plea until after the toxicology analysis is done, which means their arraignment could be delayed. If the lab’s workload is intense as a result of the consolidation, there could be another delay. And when arraignment finally occurs, the accused can elect trial by jury, which means they are entitled to a preliminary inquiry, which takes even longer.

“The way the courts are booked now in Halifax and Dartmouth, in most courts it’s almost eight to 10 months, or a year, before you can get to a preliminary inquiry,” Pink says. By the time the case makes it to trial, it could be two years since the incident.

Every Canadian is entitled under the Charter to a trial within a reasonable time. If a trial is unreasonably delayed, the defense could argue the courts violated this right, and a judge could stay the charges.

On December 29, a Halifax judge did exactly that. Former United Church minister John Hartlen was charged with two counts of sexual assault. His trial was unreasonably delayed for three-and-a-half years, far exceeding the year-and-a-half maximum. As a result, the court of appeal judge decided Hartlen won’t stand trial.

“We’re seeing that more and more now, even without sending the results to a crime lab,” Pink says.

Another concern comes from continuity in the handling of evidence. That must be maintained or the evidence could be thrown out. The RCMP says investigators must use a courier with a tracking system, but that doesn’t completely eliminate the risk.

“Who’s to say a sample couldn’t get lost if it goes by courier?” Pink adds. Halifax defense attorney Elizabeth Buckle has similar concerns, but is cautious since she doesn’t yet know what the lab closure will mean.

“There’s a worry maybe that there might be more delay, but it really depends on whether they’re cutting positions or just reorganizing to make it more efficient,” she says. “I imagine at least during the transition that there’s going to be some delay.”

One other possible consequence of the Halifax lab closure could be an increase in forensic analysts testifying by video, due to the high cost of flying them across the country. “Some cases that are very document intensive,” Buckle says. “It’s very difficult to cross-examine a witness who’s not sitting in front of you.”

Halifax’s forensic lab has already cut its services in preparation for the closure. The lab no longer performs toxicology or firearm analysis—these exhibits are sent out of province for testing. The Halifax lab alone received 1,168 firearm exhibits and 1,231 toxicology items last year.

Pink and Buckle say they haven’t noticed a difference yet since the lab stopped accepting firearms and toxicology, but we probably won’t know the true outcome of the closure until it happens. “It would be interesting if you ask these questions again a year from now,” Buckle says.

Rush close to a big comeback

Nya Mason

Nya Mason

NYA Mason’s dominant fashion prompted Ballarat Rush to tweak its offence and play into her strong form.

While Rush came close to pulling off a big comeback, it narrowly fell six points short in Hobart for the start of a Tasmanian road trip in the South East Australian Basketball League on Friday night.

Mason made 19 points, 15 rebounds before she chalked up her fifth foul to be sent off with about two minutes to play.

It was a finish Integra Rush coach Peter Cunningham conceded his team probably did not deserve to win.

Cunningham said Hobart had clearly been the better, more consistent team with Kathleen Scheer (19 points) and fellow Chargers’ import Kylie McCauley creating havoc for his team and allowing the Chargers to dictate play.

Rush was floundering, down 21-9, at the first break but fought back within two points late in the final term. A couple of close calls could have changed the outcome.

“We’re a little bit disappointed but we take some satisfaction out of it,” Cunningham said.

“Our trademark and our culture is that we’ll always fight it out to the end and we still made a good fight out of it when they could have completely blown us away ... our girls have an expectation of winning matches now, rather than just aiming to be competitive this season.”

Rush’s usual spark was missing from the opening term and the team’s collective sharp shooting had dropped to 19 per cent accuracy.

Cunningham said the key to the turnaround was determination.

Rush played about with defensive structure, out of necessity, and modified offensive runs.

Steph Cumming played unscathed after a week sidelined due to damage from a dislocated finger on her shooting hand and put up 16 points.

Young gun Kasey Burton had a run on Scheer in the third quarter and kept the Women’s National Basketball League player to six points.

Rush will travel to Launceston to face the Tornadoes on Saturday.

Anantapur Fodder Crisis Means Slaughter of Pregnant Cows

17 May 2013

INDIA – Government fodder schemes to help sustain starving cattle during the summer heat have not materialised resulting in pregnant cattle being sent for slaughter in Karnataka.

The extreme heat has put severe pressure on fodder supplies in Anantapur, in central eastern India, reports the New Indian Express.

Last year the government responded to similar drought issues by setting up three fodder centres at Madakasira, Kondur Manrotropu and Chilamatturu but have failed to respond to this year’s challenges, reports the New Indian Express.

Consequently, farmers are shipping cattle, some of which are pregnant cows, to neighbouring Karnataka in the west.

No official slaughter estimates are currently available but the New Indian Express has reported cattle being taken by the lorry load.

Denver Broncos Danny Trevathan injured at training camp, will be out 6-8 weeks

DENVER - Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan suffered a knee injury during training camp on Tuesday that will force him to sit out for up to two months.

Media watching the practice at Broncos headquarters at Dove Valley said Trevathan was carted off the field.

7NEWS photographer Jeff Howe said Trevathan looked very frustrated by the injury.

Later, the team announced that Trevathan has a left medial tibial impaction fracture. The injury is expected to keep him out for six-to-eight weeks.

The Broncos drafted Trevathan in the sixth round in the 2012 NFL Draft. He started all 16 games last season recording 88 solo tackles and 41 assisted tackles.

GM Shuttering Australian Manufacturing by End of 2017

End of incentives makes it too expensive to build vehicles.

by on Dec.11, 2013

The Commodore is one of Australia's best-selling models. After 2017, it will no longer be built in there.

General Motors abruptly announced it now plans to stop building and engineering cars in Australia by the end of 2017. The decision will end almost 90 years of car making in Australia by GM’s Australian subsidiary, Holden.

The announcement follows testimony before a parliamentary commission by GM’s ranking executive in Australia that GM could no longer sustain its manufacturing operations “Down Under” without help from substantial subsidies from the Australian government.

Power Up!

Currently only GM’s Holden, Ford and Toyota currently manufacture vehicles there. Ford already announced it planned to close its Australia car factories by the end of 2016 and Toyota is expected to follow suit shortly. (more…)

A Diesel Running on Gasoline is Just as Sweet

By using compression ignition, a gasoline-fueled engine can be as efficient as an oil burner, and maybe less expensive.

by on May.21, 2009

Members of the GM's HCCI team preparing a prototype engine for testing.

Members of the GM's HCCI team preparing a prototype engine for testing.

The battle between the Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle in auto engines goes back more than 100 years. Diesels have a fuel economy advantage, roughly 20%, compared to traditional gasoline engines largely because of a higher compression ratio needed to ignite the fuel and the elimination of “pumping losses” caused during the intake stroke of a gasoline engine when it is operating at partial throttle.

However, the fuel injection system of a diesel and the heavier components required to hold up to the higher pressures make it much more expensive – these days thousands of dollars more – than a gasoline engine. Tighter emissions laws on cancer-causing particulate matter are adding to the expense and reducing fuel economy. Also, diesel fuel doesn’t ignite as readily as gasoline, which makes cold starting problematic.

As automakers continue the unending quest for greater fuel efficiency, a hybrid combination of diesel and gasoline engines is being studied to see if the best characteristics of both can be obtained.

One such initiative is going on at General Motors where a homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is under study. An HCCI engine, when combined with other advanced technologies, can provide up to 15% greater fuel economy than a comparable, non-HCCI engine by using the diesel combustion process.

“HCCI delivers enhanced fuel savings without sacrificing the performance consumers have come to expect,” said Dr. Uwe Grebe, executive director for GM Powertrain Advanced Engineering.    (more…)

Digital Marketing Tips For Bloggers

People blog for many reasons. Some blog to help and inform others, others for catharsis. Some blog because they love to write, and others to review products. Once a blog is established with a readership many bloggers look to monetise their blog. This is when S.E.O. and digital marketing becomes important.

Copyright: Creativa Images Shutterstock

What is S.E.O.?

S.E.O. or Search Engine Optimisation is the practise of actively trying to improve your search engine ranking.

Why Is It Important?

It is important as all the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo use a ranking procedure to place websites in order. Those at the top of the rankings gain more exposure. If you think about it, most people don't scroll past the first couple of pages of a search engine.

There are many factors that can improve your search engine rankings and a blog or small business can get many benefits from doing their S.E.O. and digital marketing themselves.

Some Simple Tips

Call your blog something relevant and easy to remember. Will the blog address be relevant to you in ten years' time? Short and easy to spell blog addresses are preferable.

If you are a blogger it is especially important to own your own domain. Owning your own domain reinforces and promotes your brand. Having your own domain allows you to have your own domain authority. Domain authority or D.A. is a metric used to calculate how well a website is likely to perform on Google. Many P.R. companies look at a blog's domain authority - the higher it is, the better it is to link to for S.E.O. purposes.

Write interesting original content that people want to bookmark, share and link back to. It is important to write original content as Google can penalise sites with duplicate content. This can mean your blog not appearing in search results.

Link to your own content from within your blog post. Internal links help with S.E.O.

Name your photos something appropriate. This helps search engines find and index relevant images. Make sure your images are optimised and quick to load. Photo editing software such as Photoshop and Picmonkey are great to reduce image size.

Create natural backlinks to your blog. This can help
raise your domain authority. You can do this by making relevant comments on other blogs and linking to your blog address.

Guest posting is a great way of getting a backlink to your blog. Many fellow bloggers will be happy to give you a follow link for a guest post - after all you are doing them a favour by writing new fresh content for them.

Don't forget to share your post. It can be the most awesome post in the world but if you don't share it how will people see it? It's worth having social media accounts for your blog to share content. Share the content of others and they will be more likely to share yours. Tag the company you are working with in a post so they can retweet for you. Use relevant hashtags to spread the post and get it seen.

These are just some simple tips.

For a more in depth analysis of your blog consider a targeted S.E.O. and digital marketing course. The best digital marketing companies have engaging, easy to understand courses for people of all levels of knowledge. The worst digital marketing companies are expensive and can actually cause your blog to be penalised by Google.

To choose a reputable company look at the results they have attained, the brands they have worked with and the testimonials of others.

Adventures in Coloring

crifmer on Dec. 19, 2007

I decided to try adding a little color. The color palette is, of course, restricted to only official Post-It colors - or their web-safe equivalents, anyway. There's going to be all sorts of experimentation with these early strips, and I'm having a lot of fun.

This particular strip is an homage to my favorite scene from Meet the Robinsons. I didn't actually see it until it hit DVD, but I laughed my head off every time I saw that scene in the commercial, and I think it was actually the funniest scene in the whole movie.

Collette Dinnigan Delivers Youthful Romance at Paris Fashion Week

Another day, another bout of homegrown talent at Paris Fashion Week. But though decadent textiles were at the heart of both Ellery and Collette Dinnigan’s Spring 2014 collections, the former sent out ballsy silhouettes that bordered on Man Repelling while Dinnigan went for straight-up romance.

This is Dinnigan’s 18th season showing at Paris Fashion Week and this has been plenty time to strengthen her reputation as a go-to for breezy femininity. Kiwi model Holly Rose Emery kicked things off in a tiny white mini dress with embroidered mesh paneling that reeked of youthful elegance. Other dresses were playfully embellished with flowers and appliqued beads, appearing simultaneously expensive and light as air.

The evening dresses amped up the romanticism with seductive, drapey dresses in a palette of pale green and navy blue. A standout was a navy shift so confidently embellished that it would have looked out of place in a couture show and sparkled like luxury tinsel.

All that laser cutting and lace also had an ulterior motive: Showing off the lingerie that Dinnigan keeps doing better each season. There’s something to be said for managing to make visible scarlet lace bras and completely see-through trousers appear both innocent and elegant, and Dinnigan's had a particular air of je ne sais quoi about them. Whether they translate to the street is another question, but one that almost seems irrelevant.

Restaurant Review: Maxine's Chicken & Waffles - Indianapolis

Recently I was in Indianapolis for a business trip and we were headed back and my new friend and colleage Ali said she was hungry. She wanted something healthy - so she pulled out her phone and started searching. She stops and says "How about Chicken & Waffles?". Um healthy? But hey - I can't blame her for going with her gut. :-)

We decided to head to Maxine's Chicken & Waffles in Downtown Indianapolis. The only chicken & waffles I have had before was Taste of Belgium - this is not that - and for me - that's a good thing. I'm not the biggest fan of Taste - it's fine - but the waffles are a little too heavy and the chicken was dry when I went - so I'm fine with trying something else.

The first thing I noticed was the drink menu - there is something called Sunshine on the menu ($2.55) - so right there - I'm in. It's a mix of lemonade, fruit punch, Orange Crush and Mountain Dew - um yes please!

So here it is - my giant cup of Sunshine! I have to say - it was tasty! Ali got it as well and she's not much for soda - but even she couldn't resist! It was zingy and refreshing and not overly sweet.

Ali decided we also needed to try Fried Green Tomatoes ($6.99) served with a "southern sauce". I had never had them before so I was up for it. The sauce was a some sort of salsa ranch-type dip - I think - it was tasty. The tomatoes were okay - the breading was a bit flavorless - but it wasn't bad.

I mandated that we try the fried corn bread ($1.25) served with peach butter. For the bargain price - I could have just ordered 5 of these for dinner! I love the Johnny Cakes at Butt Shack - and these were very similar. I love cornbread - so then you make it bite-size and fry it in butter - yeah - I can't help but love that! The peach butter is their specialty (you can buy it in larger quantities too) and it's worth trying for sure! It's not overly peachy but it does have an extra sweetness and little pieces of peach. So delicious!

Ali got chicken tenders and a sweet potato waffle ($9.25). The sweet potato waffles are seasonal so she jumped on it. I tried a bite and it was pretty good and definitely had a sweet potato flavor. This is a LOT of food - so prepare your belly for it all!

I went for the traditional jumbo chicken wings & regular waffle. Holy moly - these must be some massive friggin chickens!! These were ginormous! The wings were really great - super crispy and super juicy - loved them. The waffle was good too - it's super thick and fluffy. I piled on the syrup along with the peach butter.

We found one of the chefs and I made sure to get a pic with him because this was a meal to remember!

Why Should You Go? There's plenty of "fancy" food in Indy - but if you're near downtown - this is NOT to be missed!

Is That A Banana In Your Pocket Or Are You Sexually Assaulting Me?

“One thing I used to do is carry a banana around in my pocket,” is what one man is using as evidence that he is innocent of sexual assault. David Morris, a 60-year-old pastor in Wales, is on trial for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl 15 years ago.The victim, who is now 26, testified that Morris, her childhood pastor, made her feel a bulge in his pants during a private tutoring session. Morris refutes the story, saying she must have felt the big banana in his pocket, but the victim specifically remembers him taking the banana out of his pocket before he sat down.

So this whole case rests on a banana? Too bad the banana can’t testify. We’ll have to let the jury call BS on this. [The Sun]
