This means that a small pill may be much more potent than a large pill, so don’t judge a pill based on its size, but the actual amount of substance for which it is labeled as.
mcg = microgram = 1/1000 of a mg (milligram) There are one thousand micrograms in one milligram.
Conversion factors:
1000 mcg (microgram) = 1 mg (milligram)
1000 mg (milligram) = 1 g (gram)
1000 g (gram) = 1 kg (kilogram)
1000 ml (milliliter) = 1 liter
1ml (water) = 1cc (water)
1ml (oil) ~ 1cc (oil) (~ denotes approximately equal to)
Examples putting it all together

So when does Linux make sense for your enterprise?
Where Linux Excels:
Linux is best at web services and applications servers. Every major web server except Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS) supports Linux. Most commercial web servers support administration through excellent management interfaces, and even the popular open source Apache web server has tools which make web server administration manageable. For IIS shops, the similarity of PHP to Microsoft’s Active Server Pages may make the transition to Linux less daunting than one might suspect.
Linux is equally well supported by all the major application servers. BEA, Borland, IBM, Oracle, and Sybase support Linux installations, albeit with varying levels of support. Excellent open source application servers for Linux are also available, such as the popular Java Server Pages/servlet engine Apache Tomcat and the J2EE server JBoss, but deployment and configuration with other tools can be a challenge for the novice.

Showcase House for the Arts gives highest award to Joy Sullivan
0 Comments | Whittier Daily News, Jun 22, 2010 | by Anonymous
PASADENA – For San Marino resident Joy Sullivan, it only seemed natural to join the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) back in 1986.
“I wanted to be part of an organization that helped the community – and, especially, its schools – with music appreciation and the arts,” Sullivan now recalls 25 years later.
“But I also have always loved interior design and have helped many friends with their home decor. What a great combination.”
Sullivan’s fellow PSHA members obviously agree. This year they honored Sullivan with the organization’s highest token of esteem – the PSHA Volunteer of the Year Award.
Sullivan earned the award after taking on jobs within the organization that range from chairing the Shops at Showcase and the PSHA Gifts and Grants Committee to serving as benefit chairman of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design in 2007 and as president in 2009.
Nor is Sullivan about to begin resting on her laurels, adds PSHA President Delise Menik.
“Joy is happiest when she’s very busy,” Menik said. “She loves a new adventure, which is why she’s agreed to be in charge of tickets next year. She’s such an invaluable asset to our committee; not only is she very artistically talented but she can troubleshoot any challenge.”
Among the most memorable of those “challenges” for Sullivan was the year she spent as benefit chairman.
“It was the first time in the history of the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts that we collaborated with another nonprofit organization, Descanso Gardens,” said Sullivan who, as benefit chairman, oversaw a team of more than 30 interior and exterior designers, 250 PSHA members, and countless community volunteers in transforming the historic Boddy House on Descanso Gardens’ grounds in La Ca ada-Flintridge.
History repeated itself just this past spring when PSHA worked with the San Gabriel Pomona Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross to revitalize its headquarters, the Cravens Estate in Pasadena.
The nearly 20,000-square-foot property – designated a Landmark of Historical Significance by the city of Pasadena and a Pasadena Cultural Landmark by the Pasadena Heritage Society – was open from April 18 to May 16.
The 2011 Pasadena Showcase House of Design will take place from April 17 to May 15, 2011 at an as-yet undisclosed location.
“We celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2007, the year we revitalized the Boddy House,” Sullivan said. “And we’re still going strong

I’m a big fan of studying other kinds of writers besides just “copy” writers –
especially political writers.
Which is why I’m always urging people to read political authors, books and blogs. The farther right or left the better, the more
radical
the better.
Case in point…
Right now you almost can’t turn on the radio or TV without hearing about Ann
Coulter and her book “Godless: The Church Of Liberalism.”
And love her or hate her (very few “luke warm” reactions to Ann Coulter), she
recently dropped an incredible “copywriting” tactic in a radio interview you can start
using immediately if you want.
She said when she sits down to write a newspaper column or book chapter –
especially if it involves a complex topic – she simply pretends she’s writing an email
to one of her friends.
She says this forces her to keep even the most
entangling
legal and policy
details simple and easy to digest.
I don’t know about you, but I find this extremely useful copywriting advice.

Roman’s empire strikes back at City [Edition 2]
0 Comments | Sunday Telegraph, The; London (UK), Jul 25, 2010 | by Rory Smith
AS ROBERTO Mancini diligently faced questions from the American media on the eve of the New York exhibition, which forms the centrepiece of Manchester City’s pre-season, his audience evidently extended further than the five boroughs. “It is only City who move the market,” said the Italian. Somewhere in Moscow, Roman Abramovich must have been listening with intent.
This was supposed to be City’s summer, City’s season. The cartel which had monopolised access to the Champions League for so long was crumbling. Manchester United refused to strengthen their squad. Arsenal stood at risk of losing their captain and totem. Liverpool were in hock and on sale. None seemed in a position of strength to fight the rising light blue tide.
Enter Abramovich, the defender of the status quo. Only Chelsea have the funds to refuse to buckle to City’s petrodollar hegemony. The man who drew the template followed by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan as he attempted to turn a fading football force into a superpower had evidently decided to fight back. Less than 48 hours after Mancini spoke, he moved. The market shook.
A Pounds 20million fee with Benfica for the Brazilian international Ramires, widely regarded as one of Europe’s brightest prospects, had been agreed, and a deal was likely to be signed off next week. Abramovich’s emissaries have also lodged a Pounds 27million bid with the Portuguese club for Ramires’s countryman, David Luiz.
The latter will have come as particularly sanguine news for Mancini and his Emirati backers. Luiz featured on City’s potential list of targets, though sources at Eastlands insisted their intention was always to sign Aleksandar Kolarov, the Serbian international for whom a Pounds 17million deal was completed yesterday, or the Brazilian, not both.
Regardless, City have grown accustomed to having things their own way in the transfer market over the last two years. Suddenly, Chelsea and Abramovich stand in their path.
The events of the last 48 hours are a likely vignette of the story of the summer. Two financial heavyweights trading gilded blows as they attempt to wrestle control of football’s most desirable trinkets. If both get it right, it may provide the story of the season.
Abramovich, comparatively cautious in the transfer market since the abortive signing of Andrei Shevchenko in 2006, has been forced to rethink his desire to make Chelsea self-sufficient, despite witnessing Carlo Ancelotti’s team win both the Premier League and the FA Cup last season. For years, Chelsea have been told they require an overhaul. They finally seem to be getting one.
City can take solace in the fact that their lavish spending in recent years has made that an expensive business. Yossi Benayoun has already arrived at Chelsea, for Pounds 5million, as well as the young Czech defender Tomas Kalas for a similar fee, though he will spend this season on loan at Sigma Olomouc. Ramires will join them next week, and Luiz is likely to follow. Another Pounds 47million should the deals go through.
A Pounds 16million bid has already been rejected by the Brazilian club Santos for their hugely gifted forward Neymar, but should the west London club augment that offer by around Pounds 5million, the 18 year-old will be theirs.
And then, of course, there is Fernando Torres. The Spanish striker remains undecided on his future at Liverpool, but the coquettish glances continue to come from Stamford Bridge. Fifty million? Pounds 60million? More? If that founders, Ancelotti has made no secret of his desire to be reunited with Kaka

youth and young adults will die in crashes over the next 10 years. Recent research points to an optimistic future if we apply these findings to programs, policy, and technology that guide learner drivers to safe independent driving.?
State Farm is also one of the contributors to the study. Laurette Stiles is the vice president for strategic resources at the mentioned organization. She further claims, ?The challenge before us is to guide youth from passengers, dependent on parents and friends for rides, to independent drivers who make safe decisions, manage their passengers, and avoid hazards. The time is now to effectively guide this transition without losing thousands of our youth every year.?

An interior home painter by trade returns to love of portrait
0 Comments | Palm Beach Post, Jun 3, 2010 | by SCOTT EYMAN
When he was a boy, Carmine Cangero wanted to be a painter. At the age of 68, he’s finally made it.
Born in Sturno, 100 miles northeast of Naples, Italy, Cangero was drawing by the time he was 4 or 5 — “I was your run-of-the-mill child prodigy,” he says with a chuckle — and was accepted into the Accademia del Bella Arte in Florence.
But there was a problem. His father was a traveling musician with big bands and orchestras across Italy. In the off-season he had a barber shop, and the father insisted that his son learn a trade. So this firstborn son of a barber also became a barber.
Arriving in America in 1961 at the age of 19, Cangero went to work as a barber in Brooklyn. “In those days, a barber could make $6,000 to $8,000 a year.” He had his own shop in Glen Head, Long Island, while moonlighting as an interior house painter.
Cangero came to Florida in 1994 and focused solely on interior painting, doing more than 100 homes in the Bellagio development alone. But two -years ago, after a hip replacement, he began dabbling in oils again
