Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
360 panorama showing the interior of the church of St-Paul-St-Louis in Paris. This interior is light and sumptuous, with a vast dome that soars far above the visitor. This panorama was taken from the junction of the transepts and aisle of the church and the image shows the high altar on a round wooden platform. The picture also shows the pulpit and massive church organ. Inside are numerous statues.
Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church - FURTHER INFORMATION
Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church - Paris visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Paris.
Église St-Paul-St-Louis (Church of St-Paul-St-Louis) in Paris stand on Rue Saint Antoine about half way between the Place de la Bastille and the Hotel de Ville, and just south of the Place des Vosges.
This panoramic picture shows the interior of this Baroque Jesuit church, whose design is based on Il Gesù Church in Rome. Construction began 1627, directed by Louis XIII, and completed in 1641. As seen in the photograph, the interior contains massive Corinthian pillars and heavy ornamentation. The dome of the church is 195 feet high, the fore-runner of the Eglise du Dôme. Though looted during the French Revolution and turned into a 'Temple of Reason', the church remains impressive. The most impressive work of art in the church is the 'Christ in the Garden of Olives' painted by Delacroix in 1827.

LG G4 Beat with Snapdragon 615 SoC launched officially
LG has officially launched the mid-range variant of its flagship phone LG G4 called LG G4 Beat. The smartphone was previously leaked via benchmark as the LG G4 S. The LG G4 Beat is undoubtedly smaller and less powerful than the LG G4 as it is a mid-ranger with downgraded aspects. The mid-range smartphone boasts of a 5.2 inch display with a Full HD 1080p resolution.
The device employs a 1.5 GHz octa core Snapdragon 615 chipset that is backed by 1.5 GB of RAM and 8 GB of native memory space. A 2,300 mAh battery is housed in the smartphone to power enough juice to the LG G4 Beat that is preinstalled with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
LG seems to highlight the camera hardware on the LG G4 Beat as it is touted to feature an 8 MP main snapper at its back with LG's exclusive Color Spectrum Sensor, Laser Auto Focus and Manual Mode as in the LG G4 to capture every detail in the shots.
Up front, the device flaunts a 5 MP selfie snapper with Gesture Interval Shot that will let users click four consecutive selfies with a single hand gesture to produce the perfect selfie.
The LG G4 Beat will be made available in the prime markets in Latin America and Europe including Brazil, Germany and France. Later, it will be launched in Canada, India, Singapore, Russia, Turkey and South Africa.
The LG G4 Beat will arrive in Ceramic White, Metallic Silver and Shiny Gold color options. For now, there is no word regarding the price of the smartphone. In some markets in Latin America, the LG G4 Beat will feature a 13 MP main snapper at its back.

Needing to be in downtown L.A. on Wednesday night for personal reasons, namely, to attend the LA Opera production of The Magic Flute at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, I arranged an appointment downtown for an interview for an upcoming column.
Not only was this a timesaver, it would allow me to heh, heh turn in my Metrolink ticket for reimbursement by the newspaper, since I was traveling on legitimate business. With thinking like this, Upland should have put me on its budget panel.
Youll see the fruits of that interview next week. Afterward, I had time to browse at The Last Bookstore, where I picked up a book for a friends birthday (hi, Adriana!), and had dinner at Pitfire Pizza, where I read a few pages of the novel I brought with me, Chronic City by Pomona College prof Jonathan Lethem.
(A New York Times Book Review Best Book of the Year, the cover says. The year in question was 2009. Im always behind the times.)
The opera, meanwhile, was pretty cool, a staging that had the singers in 1920s garb interacting with animated projections rather than scenery or props, the whole effect evoking a silent film. Other than the singing and live music, obviously. The last performance is today.
I always wonder at L.A. cultural events how many others from the 909 might be there. At least one other person, it turns out, as I ran into my favorite Rhino Records clerk from Claremont (hi, Adrienne!).
I needed to get the 11 p.m. train home, the last of the night, and with the opera slated to end by 10:10 p.m., and with the Chandler being one subway stop from Union Station, this didnt seem to be in doubt.
The opera, however, let out at 10:30. I hustled out during the ovations, walked two blocks to the subway stop and took the escalator down to the platform. Pretty sure I could have walked to Union Station and made it in time, but maybe not, and to be on the safe side, the subway seemed best.
But the monitors displaying arrival times were either blank or frozen, and while an outgoing train stopped, no inbound train did. A couple of station announcements were made, not a single word of which was understandable. They sounded like they were being made by the adults in the Peanuts animated specials.
P.A., echoing off the concrete and tile: Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah.
But my sense was that no subway trains would be coming. It was now 10:40 p.m., and no way could I have hoofed it to Union Station and been aboard a train inside of 20 minutes.
Thankfully, theres always Foothill Transits Silver Streak bus, which has a stop in front of L.A. City Hall, one block from where I was, and runs to the Montclair Transit Center. As Metrolink and the Silver Streak both stop there, I had parked and taken the train from Montclair rather than Claremont as a fail-safe for missing the last train.
If only Upland had planned so wisely.
I sat at the lonely bus stop in the big dark city and waited, killing time with my phone in a silly Twitter exchange with two journalists. Ask a Mexican columnist Gustavo Arellano had thrown out the provocative query, Why did anyone ever hate Neil Diamonds music?
I replied, Youre too young to have lived through the horror of Forever in Blue Jeans and You Dont Bring Me Flowers.
This prompted John Rabe of KPCC-FM to jump in with, The former is a lousy song, but the latter is great.
From there, we quoted Diamond lyrics back and forth in 140-character bursts to make our respective points, whatever they were.
Rabe: LAs fine, the sun shines most of the time, and the feeling is laid back.
Rabe again: I got a song been on my mind…and the tune can be sung and the words all rhyme.
Me: I am, I cried, to no one there. And no one even answered, not even the chair.
Rabe: We danced until the night became a brand new day, two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play.
Me: It dont take plans to clap your hands. When it feels nice just dont think twice.
I dont know where Rabe or Arellano were, but its a safe bet neither one was waiting for a bus.
The Silver Streak arrived at 11:20 and had me back in Montclair about 12:30 a.m. On the way, a near-retiree seated next to me with a Deloitte access badge, and two bags with ONT tags, fell into a deep sleep against my arm. The crowded bus was almost silent except for a man halfway back with waist-length hair who good-naturedly counseled a friend by phone over problems with a woman.
Much of the bus emptied out in El Monte, but there were still 20 people by the time we hit the 909. Half got off in downtown Pomona, the rest in Montclair, the end of the line, including the snoozing accountant next to me. About a dozen people were waiting to board for the trip west.
I like the Silver Streak, except that the bus motion prevented your sensitively constructed columnist from reading more than about five pages of Chronic City before having to put it down, queasily. Thats one benefit for me of Metrolink: an hour of uninterrupted reading time, which is not to be sneezed at.
Losing out on half of my $19.50 round-trip Metrolink ticket was a drag, but then, thanks to reimbursement, it heh, heh wouldnt be my money. Because my Silver Streak ride technically counted as a transfer once I flashed my Metrolink ticket, instead of the usual $2.45 fare my Silver Streak trip was a mere 95 cents.
Ninety-five cents from downtown L.A. to Montclair?
I was so impressed, I forgot to get a receipt. But I can happily pay 95 cents out of my own pocket.

Tale Of The Tape: Tom Brady Vs. Joe Montana
If you grew up watching Bay Area football in the 1980's you dreamed of matching the magic of Joe Montana (or even dressed like him for Halloween). Some of us have come closer than others. After another Super Bowl win, is San Mateo's own Tom Brady finally there?
Better Bay Area Super Bowl Backdrop: Levi's Stadium Vs. Old Stanford Stadium
The last time the Bay Area hosted the Super Bowl Joe Montana was going for his second title against some hotshot young quarterback named Dan Marino.
Tale Of The Tape: Arizona Cardinals At San Francisco 49ers
It's a good thing the Cardinals have their playoff berth locked up, because the offense has lost its drive after losing quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton to injuries.
Tale Of The Tape: San Diego Chargers At San Francisco 49ers
The Chargers are depending on Philip Rivers to be at his best so they can compete on the road against a team that is clearly disappointed in the way it has played this season, but one that should have enough pride to play a competitive game here.
Tale Of The Tape: San Francisco 49ers At Seattle Seahawks
The 49ers appear to be in a rapid decline after losing at home to the Seahawks and inexplicably finding a way to drop a game at the hands of the Oakland Raiders.

The 49ers appear to be in a desperate situation after losing at home on Thanksgiving night to the Seahawks, and that poor performance led owner Jed York to issue an apology for his team's play.

With the holidays in tow, romance is in the air. However, not everyone's feeling the love. Many people find themselves single this time of year, and embracing it! Here are some perks of being single during the holidays!
You Get to Spend More Time with Friends: The holidays are the one time of year that it seems everyone is back in town. When you're single you can meet with your friends whenever you want, and not have to ditch plans with your significant other. Also, it leaves more time for binge watching Christmas movies while drinking spiked hot chocolate with your girls.
No Tension Over Presents: You don't need to buy any expensive gadgets on Amazon or Brookstone. There is no worriy about if your bae will like it or wondering if they already own something similar. You don't need to act surprised if you're not quite interested in the present you received either.
No Awkward Family Questions: As much as being asked "Why are you single?" sucks, it's much easier to diverge than "Why haven't you married him/her yet?" or "When are you having children?" It's a double dose of awkward if that significant other happens to be standing beside you when that conversation takes place…
No Strange Rooming Situations: Many families are not keen on unmarried couples sharing a room while visiting on the holidays. So there is no stress of sneaking into each other's rooms, or getting caught by your parents, yikes.
Mistletoe and Mischief: There are tons of holiday parties, which means lots of opportunities to hookup. Have an office crush, or a friend of a friend's who you've thought is cute but never had the courage to talk to? This is your chance! When you're single, and drunk on eggnog or mulled wine, you can take advantage of these holiday induced moments.
You Can Travel Where You Want: There is no bickering over whose family you should spend the holidays with or where to travel for New Year's. You are fully in control of how to spend your holiday season. So go out and do you!
You Can Binge Out and Hibernate: When you're single you can eat all that Advent Calendar chocolate in one sitting, or that tin of Christmas cookies while having Love Actually on replay, and feel no shame.
You Can Self Reflect For the Upcoming Year: One of the greatest perks of being single is that you can plan your life for the next year with no entanglements. You can plan all those adventures, decide to take that promotion in a new city, and create goals that will make you grow as an individual.
Being in a relationship is awesome but so is being single. If you're single during the holidays realize you're not alone, and remember each year varies with differing experiences. Some holidays we are single, and others with are in relationships, and that's totally okay! Your twenty-somethings are supposed to be an unpredictable rollercoaster, and with each year these experiences will build a better you. Now if you excuse, I'm going to put on my polar bear pajamas, make a giant mug of chocolate, and watch Love Actually.
Have a lovely holiday season!

East Baton Rouge Parish School Board members on Thursday expressed support for Superintendent Bernard Taylor's plans to move middle school students at Glen Oaks High to a new location this fall and to convert Claiborne Elementary into a dedicated magnet program starting in fall 2014.
The board, however, was less sure about a proposal to move about 100 gifted and talented students from Glen Oaks Park Elementary, a C-rated school, to nearby Merrydale Elementary, an F-rated school.
The board considered the changes to these three north Baton Rouge schools, all in the vicinity of Glen Oaks High School, while it convened as a "committee of the whole," meaning it could offer only recommendations, not final votes. The final votes will be April 18.
After the committee of the whole meeting Thursday, the board held a special meeting. There the board did take final action, voting unanimously to create three more "superintendent academies" that aim to help overage middle school students catch up with their peers through "blended learning," a mix of in-person and online instruction that requires fewer teachers and costs less.
"This is not about getting rid of teachers," said Taylor, who added that greater online instruction allows children to work at night and on weekends and catch up faster.
The three new alternative schools revamp three existing alternative schools, Staring Education Center, Valley Park Alternative School and Northdale Magnet Academy. Staring, a middle school, will focus on grades three to eight, while Valley Park and Northdale will focus on high school grades.
The School Board on March 21 approved four new alternative schools, also called "superintendent academies" middle school grades, but wanted more information before approving the remodeling of Staring, Valley Park and Northdale.
Since he took over in June, Taylor has been talking up ideas for big changes in schools, particularly in north Baton Rouge, home to many D-rated and F-rated schools. The plans have shrunk considerably.
In November, Taylor talked about converting schools in four parts of Baton Rouge into "attendance regions" centered by new "families of schools," affecting some three dozen schools.
In the Glen Oaks area, for instance, Taylor called at one point for putting Glen Oaks High alongside a new charter school on the same campus.
At another point, he called for making Claiborne Elementary into a mirror of A-rated Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, as well as turning Glen Oaks Park into a school only with grades prekindergarten to three.
On Thursday, Taylor said he dropped those ideas after they met resistance from parents in the Glen Oaks area. He said he also listened to these same parents who expressed their dislike of having seventh- and eighth-graders on the Glen Oaks High campus.
"They were loud and clear on that point," Taylor said.
Taylor has not yet settled on where to move those 227 students instead. He said he's looking at either the former Banks Elementary or former Baton Rouge Preparatory Academy sites.
The decision to not model Claiborne Elementary after Forest Heights and delay the creation of a magnet program at Claiborne for a year was sparked by a desire to come up with a program that better reflects the wishes of the community, Taylor said.
The idea of moving the gifted-and-talented program from Glen Oaks Park to Merrydale sparked the most opposition Thursday. Taylor said he would likely move the program to Merrydale, along with the teachers, starting in August.
James Finney, a board watcher, said he wishes school officials were more up front.
"If the purpose is to prop up scores at Merrydale, let's at least be honest about that," he said.
Glen Oaks Park teacher Bertha Hinajosa said many of her parents are educators in the school system and likely won't let their children make the move and if she's still teaching them.
"I polled my parents and they won't go to Merrydale," she said. "They are already taking them out and putting them in other schools, because they don't want to be forced to go somewhere."

After months of research and indecision, I finally settled on the Assassin. Should be here in 4-5 if all goes right. Can't wait!
That is a nice looking unit.
Nice looking smoker. After you have a few smokes under your belt please take the time to wright a review. It will help a lot of people out when they go smoker shopping.
Happy smoken.
Will do. I know how helpful a thorough review can be, as I had a rough time finding any detailed reviews of the smokers I was looking at.
Nice, I'll be interested in how she smokes
Change in plans. I came across a Rebel 23 locally and bought it instead. Saved me $500 and it is a little bigger than the Assassin. Both are quality smokers and very similar. I would have been happy with either one; but I really wanted that gun metal grey on the Assassin. Here are some pics of the Rebel. I will post a separate review once I get a few cooks on it.
Nice looking unit Congrats
Nice smoker, I think you will be very happy, I really like my gravity feed cooker, put a bbq guru on that thing I promise you will be the cook and envy of the neighborhood, these things cook some of the best bbq IMHO anywhere, I have a stickburner that is my favorite to cook with but if I have a long cook and want to sleep the gravity feed gets it everytime, enjoy and look forward to seeing some pics of the cook, Bonz
get it broke in and post some pics...looks like a very sturdy unit.

Automation and integration of systems are the keys to success in today's fast-paced, global sales environment. To remain competitive, companies need solutions that deliver accurate and approved quotes to prospects in a timely manner. Incumbent homegrown solutions and Excel spreadsheets often slow down processes and deliver inaccurate proposals.
Sales organizations want to drive bigger and better business value through optimized selling strategies. Enterprise-grade CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) systems allow users to provide faster, error-free quotes and proposals that align with customer expectations, reducing the average sales time and maximizing sales efficiency.
Enabling a complex business process should not make the user's life more complicated. In this slideshow, Model N has outlined five ways that sales teams can benefit from CPQ solutions.

We can help you with book meeting rooms, sports facilities & transport, depending upon what you need.
We can provide promotional opportunities through the Students' Union's website.

Your activity or event must be open to all students and publicised as such.
The aims and objectives of the activity must be in accordance with those of the Union, and be sufficiently different to those of existing activities to merit a new Club or Society being formed. Applications will not be considered from existing Clubs and Societies who should support activities from their sponsorship account or if appropriate apply to the Activity Development Fund.
The committee and the activities that are offered must operate within an equal opportunities framework – meaning that the activity must be open to all students without exception. Racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other form of negative discrimination, on any grounds, will not be tolerated.

Got HELP?! Paul's wife ends BEATLE'S feud with son.
PAUL MCCARTNEY's former druggie son James says he's reconciled with his famous Beatle dad – and owes it to Paul's new wife!
The 35-year-old guitarist reveals he was delighted when Sir Paul, 71, married American Nancy Shevell, 53, in 2011.
"Nancy's my new mother," James – who's on a country-wide American tour – gushed to a British newspaper. "I feel that. Definitely. She's very genuine. I knew her a year or so before she married Dad. She has been one of the biggest supporters of me doing this, pursuing my own dreams. She wants me to have my own career. She makes Dad very, very happy. We all adore her."
But James admits after his mother Linda lost her battle with breast cancer in April 1998, he turned to drugs, and drifted away from his famous dad.
"We would talk on the phone every few months, but we went a long time without seeing each other," he recalled. "It was sad for both of us." His father's second marriage to model Heather Mills in 2002 didn't help.
"My relationship with Heather was not very good," James admitted. "I didn't like her." Finally, after James' stint in an Arizona rehab facility and Paul's heart angioplasty procedure in 2007, the two mended fences. James moved to the family's English estate and rebooted his musical career, even playing on two of his father's albums.
"I removed myself from my family for a while. Now I want to immerse myself in them," said James, who's been sober for seven months. "I love Dad so much. I'm in a happy place. I'm not high, which is a good thing. I just want to be the best person I can be."

Cloth was often used as a substitute for cabinet doors in decades past. Cabinetry was an expensive luxury that many homeowners could not afford or build themselves. Today, using cloth curtains in the center of recessed paneled cabinet doors evokes a sense of country charm and simplicity, and allows you to tie in fabric matching window curtains and table linens. If your recessed center panels on your cabinet doors are removable, remove them. Cabinet doors are available with open centers for inserting glass, tin or curtains; or use a power saw to cut the middle panel out of the door.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- 2 sash rods per cabinet door
- 4 sash rod brackets with hardware per cabinet door
- Screwdriver
- Level
Sewing Double Rod Pocket Cabinet Curtains
Measure the width of the inner panel of the cabinet door. Double this measurement. Measure the length of the inner panel of the door. Add five inches to the length measurement.
Measure and cut a rectangle of fabric to the measurements from Step 1. Fold all of the edges over 1/2 inch against the wrong side of the fabric. Fold the edges over another 1/2 inch and pin the edges.
Sew the edges using a 1/2-inch seam allowance and straight stitch. Remove the pins.
Choose one long edge to be the top of the cabinet curtain. Fold the edge over 1 1/2 inches against the wrong side of the fabric. Pin the edges. Sew horizontally across the pinned edge using a 1 1/2-inch seam allowance and a straight stitch. Remove the pins. This is the top rod pocket.
Fold the bottom edge up 1 1/2 inches over the wrong side of the fabric. Pin the edges. Sew horizontally across the pinned edge using a 1 1/2-inch seam allowance and a straight stitch. Remove the pins. This is the bottom rod pocket.
Installing the Fabric Behind the Cabinet Doors
Measure the width of the inner opening on the cabinet door and add two inches to the measurement. Purchase sash rods that can accommodate this width measurement. Install the fabric curtains behind the cabinet doors while the doors are hanging or lying flat on a work surface.
Measure up 1 inch and over 1 inch to the left of the top left corner of the inside opening on the back of the cabinet door. Make a pencil mark to indicate the measurement. Screw a sash rod bracket in place over the pencil mark.
Use a level to ensure the brackets are even, and measure up 1 inch and over 1 inch to the right of the top right corner of the inside opening on the back of the door. Draw a pencil mark. Screw a sash rod bracket in place over the pencil mark.
Slide the top rod pocket of the cabinet curtain onto a sash rod. Adjust the sash rod to the correct width by gently pulling on one end, shortening or lengthening the rod. Press the holes at the ends of the sash rod into the clip on the installed top brackets.
Use the bottom rod pocket of the cabinet curtain to determine where the bottom sash rod should be positioned. Slide the curtain onto the sash rod. Use a pencil to mark through the hole at each end of the sash rod. Screw the brackets to the back of the cabinet door over these pencil marks.
Press the holes at the sash rod ends onto the clip on the bottom brackets. Close the cabinet door.
Tips & Warnings
- For a no-sew cabinet curtain: purchase a pre-sewn rod pocket curtain, install it on the sash rod and determine where the bottom rod pocket should be. Allow two extra inches and cut the fabric horizontally across the curtain. Fold the fabric up and staple it. Slide the sash rod through the bottom "rod pocket."
- If you remove the inner panel of the cabinet door, you will need to sand and stain the edges. You cannot "undo" the door once you remove the panel by use of power saws.

TWO HORSES - September 29, 2005
I received a story from my nephew who is a veterinarian.
The story begins in a field with two horses. Even at a
distance, each looks like any horse. But if one stops to observe,
something is noticed that is quite amazing. One horse is blind. The
owner did not have it put down, but has given it a good, comfortable
home. This in itself is amazing.
Then while listening, you will hear the sound of a bell,
and see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to
her bridle is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is,
so he can follow her. As you watch these two friends, one sees how she
is always checking on him, and he will listen for her bell and then
slowly walk to where she is--trusting that she will not lead him astray.
Like the owner of these two horses, God does not throw
us away just because we are not perfect, or because we have problems or
challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to
help us when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being
guided by God and those whom he places in our lives. Other times we are
the horse who is giving aid.
I thought about our county as I read the story. The
"other part of the county" does not say, "Everything is washed away
there. It shouldn't be rebuilt," but instead, everyone participates,
donates money or finds items that can help our neighbors. We pray for
them, and attend their festivals, dinners and events. I have seen all
sections work together for the welfare of all.
We are like the horses. We are paired with our friends
who need help. In times of trouble they can count on us, we can
count on them!
This morning, I went to the computer and found a message
that completely turned me around.
It was a forwarded video from my daughter, entitled
"Thank You" with the song, "Homeward Bound Again," playing in the
background. In the beginning it portrays a quiet misty morning, showing
a tent city and soldiers waking up to a new day. The included slide show
is impressive, and ends with

Division champs? Gruden has high praise for Bucs, Freeman
Former Bucs coach Jon Gruden, speaking to the media on a "Monday Night Football" conference call Thursday, said he likes his old team to not only make the playoffs but win the NFC South this season.
"I think this is the year for Tampa to win the division and return to the playoffs," Gruden said. "They have a quarterback (Josh Freeman) that has played well in this system. They have two great receivers, Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson. Their offensive line appears to be getting healthy, if (Carl) Nicks returns with Davin Joseph. I think that combination is as good as there is in football, and the left tackle is a Pro Bowler in Donald Penn. They have a running back (Doug Martin) that no one talks enough about. What a phenomenal rookie year he had.
"Defensively, I think we were signing defensive backs at the Pepin distributorship when I was coaching the Bucs. When you bring in Darrelle Revis and Dashon Goldson, you immediately become formidable in the secondary. So I have a lot of confidence that Tampa is going to be a very good football team this year."
Gruden had three or four Hall of Famers on his defense, mind you, but he wasn't done. The coach also had high praise for Freeman, who has taken criticism from some, including former Vikings QB Fran Tarkenton, entering the final year of his contract amid questions of whether he remains the Bucs quarterback of the future.
"I've got a lot of respect for Fran Tarkenton, but I don't necessarily agree with his comment on Josh Freeman," Gruden said. "I live in Tampa. I've lived here for 13 years and I have studied Tampa carefully for a lot of reasons. If you don't think Josh Freeman can play, I think you're making a huge mistake. He broke franchise records for passing. I've seen him do it at a high level. And if I've seen him do it at a high level, that means I know he can do it again. You know, look, not everybody agrees. I'm accused of being too positive and liking everybody, but I do like Freeman. I wish I had Josh Freeman, I'll just say it like that."

Ratings for Dr. Eric G. Heegaard
The problem solver. After many many years of issues and pain, Dr. Heegaard diagnosed and treated my endometriosis that other Dr.'s couldn't.
Dr. Heegaard is a phenomenal doctor for women's care. He is a specialist in excision and treatment of endometriosis. I suffered with terrible pain and unknowns for 3 years from so many doctors until I found Dr. Heegaard. From the moment he walked into the room for my consultation he had a plan, he had questions but more importantly he wanted to know me. He touched base on several aspects of my life to verify that the symptoms were due to endo. He then also brought up the fact that I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Together we came up with a treatment plan and I am thrilled to say that after my surgery with him, I was pain free! It was a huge relief to not have to use the ER anymore as well as so many other daily tasks that were impossible before the surgery. I owe my health to Dr. Heegaard and his staff. You can't find a more professional and personable care team in the midwest.
I have endometriosis and had excision surgery with Dr. Heegaard; he gave me my life back.
Dr. Heegaard's skill and knowledge is hard to come by in the world of OBGYN's. More importantly, he listens and cares. After so many terrible experiences with inept OBGYN's and getting nowhere for a solution I was able to find Dr. Heegaard. I had severe endometriosis and other doc's 'solutions' for my case told me they knew nothing about the disease and were not skilled in excision. Dr. Heegaard is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I was able to work with Heegaard and decide what I wanted to do with my body, not what other doctors told me to do. I am forever grateful to Dr. Heegaard for being able to excise all the endo. He gave me my life back. This is a horrible disease which affects so many women and I was lucky to find him when I did. He listens and understands better than any other doc I have ever seen. I would recommend him for any woman experiencing gynecological issues.
I have lived in several cities and have gone to many doctors with the same complaints. I always left feeling more misunderstood than before. It always seemed like I was just getting blown off or told that the pain I felt couldn't possibly be as bad as I was describing. I finally found Dr.Her card and it may be the best thing that's happened regarding my health. He listened and acknowledged every symptom and quickly got an ultrasound that showed multiple fibroids, endometriosis, and cysts. My ovaries have become glued to my uterus and I was having a lot of pain. We are taking care of this problem and I feel safe with his expertise. If you need to find a good doctor, go to Heegard.
He was very supporting & helpful he had awnsers for all my questions and he does not rush you
Dr. Heegaard is a gifted and compassionate endometriosis surgeon. I call him a miracle worker! His decision making and skill with the DaVinci Robot has relieved my chronic pain, even after 3 previous laparoscopies and a hysterectomy. I remember my first visit with him after my previous surgeon retired. I was nervous trying to find someone as superb, but he instantly put me at ease. He quickly showed me he wanted to partner with me and knew a lot about endometriosis. At age 31, he successfully excised my endometriosis and severe adhesions, while sparing my ovary. When I ended up in the ER a year later in crippling pain again, he adjusted his schedule so I could have surgery the next day. I am in debt to him. I also rely on him to manage my woman's health needs. Life with endometriosis is very hard, but thanks to him it is much easier. His passion to help women with endometriosis drives him to devote endless hours to changing the trajectory of our lives. Thank you Dr. Heegaard!
Dr Heegaard is the first doctor that listened to me since my previous doctor retired. He listened to my concerns and actually cared about what I thought. Let's just say I was trying to tell my previous doctor that I had endo and he convinced the pain was from PCOS even when I told him I did not feel like it was. I finally looked up endo doctors online and was blessed to come accross DR Heegaard's name. I scheduled an appointment right away and he LISTENED TO ME!! I had surgery and it turns out that I had severe endo which it was all removed. I am looking forward to less painful periods.
Dr Heegaard performed the Davinci to remove all of my fibroids. He was the first doctor to known that in order for me to carry a pregnancy in the future I had to have these fibroids removed. This was after my last OB. did not make the suggestion and I had two miscarriages. So now we are on our journey to achieve another pregnancy using DE/IVF and look forward to having Eric be our OB.
I am nineteen years old and had been suffering from chronic pelvic pain for the majority of my teen years, until I met Dr. Heegaard. After multiple dismissal of symptoms from numerous doctors regarding my pelvic pain, and being treated as though I were crazy or a drug seeker, I finally found a specialist I thought looked promising. Dr. Heegaard was the first physician to ever really listen and help with the excruciating pain I was experiencing on a regular basis and performed a laparoscopy with excision of endometriosis on February 6, 2013. His diagnosis of endometriosis, although frightening, has brought me and my family a tremendous amount of relief and gratitude. I would recommend Dr. Heegaard to any friends or family experiencing any gynecological problems and will continue to see him for the duration of my endometriosis treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Heegaard for being the first doctor to listen, understand, and be so supportive.

Is there some silver bullet to actually SOLVE this?I saw that Hans solved this by tar.gz:ing up the docs and add as separate source and then suppress compile-time building of the docs, replacing with pre-generated contents.
Myself I simply deleted the docs for now.I sort of believe Doxygen should be fixed to do something more predictable, atleast on request.
Any ideas? Linus

I don't want them to overfill, of course, and the following is a list of what I think I know: - Mobile 1 synthetic, bring my own 3 qts and then top it off myself at home in my driveway? - check the dipstick before i leave the dealer, check the tire pressure before I give it to them and after after that... what? This: http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=39591&hl=oil topic scares me the most. I want to look out for ALL of tehse things.

Does LASIK Cause Night Vision to Change?
Doctor Answers 4
Night vision usually NOT a problem after LASIK any more
In the early days of LASIK there was a high incidence of night vision problems, especially in patients with larger pupils, or flat corneas. Today we have more understanding of how to reshape corneas and avoid this problem and this is described as prolate optimized or wavefront optimized custom treatments.
In simpler terms, the eye is prolate or comes to a steeper area in the center and this is the same shape that eagles have which gives excellent distance vision. The early LASIK procedures flattened the center of the eye, creating an oblate or flat shape, similar to that of a cow, which gives good daytime distance vision but poor night vision. This was made even worse because the earlly lasers did not have eye trackers which are standard today, and there were many eyes with slight decentrations that gave symptoms at night.
The newer treatments are "prolate optimized" and thus even in large pupil patients do not interfere much with night vision. It is still possible in particular cases to have problems with night vision after LASIK and it is important to discuss this risk with your doctor in your particular case based on all of the measurements and scans made of your particular eye.
Night vision after LASIK
Night vision was an issue with patients after having LASIK using older technology. Patients with large amounts of nearsightedness, astigmatism or farsightedness were at greater risk using these older lasers. A large pupil size was also felt to be a risk factor with first-generation lasers. Newer wavefront-guided lasers have clearly established that the vast majority of these patients can now be treated without causing problems with night vision. In fact, using the VISX wavefront guided laser that we favor, a large percentage of patients in the FDA trial actually IMPROVED in terms of night vision. This is why the US Navy and Air Force believe in this technology for its fighter pilots.
And for patients with large pupils, there is good news as well. A recent study on tens of thousands of LASIK patients treated with the latest version of the wavefront-guided VISX laser found that patients with very large pupils did as well as patients with small pupils in terms of night vision. An amazing accomplishment.
There are now a few different modern lasers capable of delivering extremely high quality night vision. Typically, surgeons using these state-of-the-art technologies will charge a bit more than others in your area.

Night vision after LASIK vs LASEK
you should demand to get hi-def, custom, wavefront correction, that is an option
if you want the best possible night vision, this is a necessity
you should also ask them what your pupil size is, as various studies have shown different things, but most refractive surgeons would agree that the chance of your having halos after is somewhat related to if you have a large scotopic pupil (pupil size in dim light). this is because as your pupil dilates at night, it may dilate past the central treatment zone (the entire cornea is not treated, only the center). so once you are seeing at the periphery of your cornea, if your laser did not cover a large enough area, you would hit the nontreated zone, and that is the cause of halos. this brings us to the question of how wide a zone your laser will treat
finally, i noticed that when i switched from LASIK to LASEK and stopped cutting flaps, i noticed fewer night symptoms from my patients, probably because i eliminated the flap interface, which can also contribute to night glare and halos (from light scatter at the interface)
hope this answer makes sense, and isn't too complicated:)

LASIK and Night Vision
LASIK in 2010 should, if anything, improve night vision. This was not true 10 or 15 years ago, however, and many patients noted subtle glare and halos after laser vision correction. The difference now is twofold. First, is the existence and use of bladeless(Intralase) technology to create the corneal flap that is the first step of the LASIK procedure. This allows for a safer, smoother corneal flap that sets things up perfectly for the second great advance in technology, which is "wavefront" or "flying spot" guided laser correction.
Though the terminology varies, excimer lasers have improved drastically in the last 5-7 years and are now able to correct high degrees of nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness while inducing minimal or no glare postoperatively. In fact, with exacting presurgical mapping of the cornea, preexisting irregularities of the cornea(we call them aberrations) can be smoothed out with the laser, leading to improved night vision.

SEOUL, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Rivals North and South Korea agreed on Wednesday to restart a troubled joint industrial park after a series of talks on the fate of the last symbol of economic cooperation, raising hopes of possible improvement in political ties.
The two sides said in a joint statement they agreed to work together to get the Kaesong industrial zone, a few miles inside North Korea from the heavily fortified border, up and running again and prevent another shutdown.
They did not give a date.
The reopening of Kaesong is seen as addressing the political interests of the democratic South and the economic interests of the North, which is so poor it can't feed its people.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye welcomed the decision, saying she hoped "today's talks will be the beginning of a new start of South and North Korea relations", media said.
North Korea pulled its 53,000 workers out of the park at the height of tension between the two sides in April, with the North threatening the United States and the South with nuclear attack.
Kaesong, with investors from South Korea, was a rare source of hard currency for the reclusive North.
North Korea and the South, one of the world's richest countries, are technically still at war as the 1950-53 Korean War ended not in a treaty but a truce.
"South and North guarantee the industrial zone's normal operation ... without influence of any kind from the political situation," the two sides said in the statement, noting that they would jointly try to attract overseas investors.
Since it opened in 2004, the Kaesong complex has generated about $90 million annually in wages paid directly to the North's state agency that manages the zone.
Most of the people employed by the South Korean companies were women on assembly lines.
Lee Sang-man, a professor at South Korea's ChungAng University and an expert on North Korea's economy, said the timing of the resumption of operations would be up to each company, and the extent of repairs and preparation they needed.
"Today's agreement untangled knots. Kaesong will be more solid than before," said Lee said.
Last week, North Korea said it would reopen the industrial zone just minutes after South Korea signalled it was willing to let it close for good.
This year, North Korea threatened nuclear strikes against the South and the United States after the United Nations tightened sanctions against it for conducting its third nuclear test in February.
But the threats largely ended in late April.
North Korea has also proposed talks on two other areas where they have cooperated in the past: tourist visits to the North's Mount Kumgang resort and reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 war.
South Korea has accepted the proposal to discuss family reunions, but not the resumption of tours to Mount Kumgang, which were suspended after a North Korean guard shot dead a South Korean tourist in 2008. (Reporting by Ju-min Park; Editing by Nick Macfie and Robert Birsel)

With a Japanese mother and Ainu father, the appearance of Oki on "The Rough Guide to the Music of Japan" with his Oki Dub Ainu Band presents a rare glimpse of the multiracial underbelly that Japan seems reluctant to own up to. Despite being indigenous to Hokkaido, or Ezo as it is known to them, the Ainu suffered centuries of oppression and forced assimilation into Japan. Until June this year, the Diet had refused to officially recognize the Ainu as indigenous.
Based in a suburban town in Hokkaido that he describes as being like something out of the celebrated children's animation "My Neighbor Totoro," Oki totes his mixed heritage with a pride that is sometimes laid-back and occasionally fierce. But more importantly, his love for reggae and dub music and his time spent living in New York City from 1987 to 1992 have given his music a worldly seasoning. Playing the tonkori, a traditional Ainu instrument that resembles a stick-thin guitar, he laces sparse melodies with roomy reverb, backed by the dub bass lines of his band; or coaxes emotive rhythms from the instrument when playing alone.
I caught up with this thoughtful chap after one such solo performance to find out how music, culture and art come together in his unique world. The Ainu believe that their instruments have a soul. Do you believe that of your tonkori?
Ainu philosophy is that all things have a life. A dish, a bowl, tools, things in your everyday life. Tonkori as well; it's shaped like a woman. The tuning pegs have a small hole for putting the strings through, and so the pegs are the ears. And it has shoulders, and the sound hole is the belly button. The strings nowadays are made of metal but they used to be made of seals' skin, which is furry, so we say the strings are the hair. A guitar looks like a woman too, so it's not only the Ainu who believe that. People, when they look at a stringed instrument, they feel a woman's vibration.
A tonkori is a much skinnier woman than a guitar. . . . It also has just five (or sometimes six) strings and no frets, which means you just have five or six notes and no octaves. Is that limiting? Yeah. I'm struggling all the time. When a musician wants to change the key, piano is very easy. Guitar is easy. With a tonkori, I have to retune all the strings. And only five notes, it's not good for melody making. But it's good for rhythm making. Many people ask me how many melodies the tonkori can express, and it's not the right question, because tonkori is a rhythm instrument. You have a drum kit with five drums, and when the drummer plays, there is infinite possibility. Tonkori is the same.
When did you start to play tonkori? When you were young? Much later. I was a sculptor before. I was always looking for my own original expression, but I couldn't find it in art. When I found the tonkori, it was like my ancestors' spirit, leading me to play tonkori. I was disappointed with the film productions and TV commercials I was working on in New York City. I had skill for fabricating models and fake f*cking McDonald's things. It was a really commercial business, really frustrating. But one day a friend asked me to parachute with him, a tandem ride from a couple of thousand feet. It was a really massive, f*cking crazy experience for me. It was real. A real thing.
I had a couple of Native American friends there, and I was inspired a lot by them. I felt that one day Ainu culture would be part of my expression. In 1992, I got a job offer on a Japanese-American feature-film production and moved back to Japan. It didn't work out, and they'd thrown me into the middle of Tokyo. I didn't know anyone in Tokyo! So I went to Hokkaido to try to find something. I visited my cousin. He's running his own Ainu museum, and we were drinking in the middle of the night when he went to another room and brought some long, skinny wood thing. That was my first encounter with tonkori. Then my days started.
Had you played music before? When I was a high-school student, I was really impressed by Paul McCartney's bass technique, and I bought a bass. I really wanted to be a musician, but it didn't happen, because I decided to study art instead of music.
My music taste moved toward black music — the blues. Albert King is my hero, and in those days, the late 1970s, they had reggae music in the record shops. Reggae is a teacher. What I learned from reggae music is how to look at society. And reggae talked about roots; that was very important. When I heard Aswad singing "Back to Africa," I thought "Back to Ainu." Was that why you decided to play dub with your band? Well, personally, I love it. Dub is not only about echo or reverb; dub is a symbol of changing a structure to a different thing, that's why I like it. And also I like the tape-echo sound. Are there many people playing traditional Ainu music today? That's a good question. Many of the good singers have already died, and we kind of lost the physical singing technique. The voice, the throat, you have to use your internal (physiology). Many people want to learn to play Ainu songs; they have have to ask their grandmother. But already many grandmothers don't know how to sing. But some young, talented Ainu in their mid-'30s are studying the elders' singing technique and practicing every day. One is a girl called Emi. She's not famous, but maybe she will be in 10 years. I'm also producing a female group singing early traditional songs, four girls called Marewrew, which means "butterfly." They're good too. Are there many people singing in the Ainu language? It's kind of a lost culture. If you want to conquer another people easily, just tell them not to speak in their own language. The Japanese government forced us to speak Japanese and not Ainu. But recently, many young Ainu are studying hard as serious language-speakers. Do you think the Japanese are tolerant of other cultures within Japan? Well, the people who are insecure want to attack other people. And sometimes people who work in education, work for the government, they are the worst. They look down on us, but if I mention that to them, they will be upset. "I'm not putting you down; I want to help you." Help? Why do I need your help? Help means "Poor Ainu." That means you put me down. That's why I rarely play music at Ainu rights campaigns; because Ainu is normal. The whole Ainu vs. Japanese f*cking concept is totally outdated.
What do you think of the other bands on the "Rough Guide" CD? It's a really good showcase I think, because the selection is very special. Sometimes you can understand your own culture better through how another country's people see your culture. And Paul (Fisher — see the main story) knows a lot of music, and his flavor is in there too. It's very interesting. Any favorites on there? "Um, actually, I listen to too much reggae music and don't have those kind of CDs (by the artists on the compilation). So this is a chance for me to study Japanese pop-music history.
Oki plays at Za Ondekoza vs. Oki, a charity event organized by Amnesty International to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, at Shinjuku Bunka Center's Main Hall on Dec. 10 (6:30 p.m.; ¥4,500). Oki will play solo and in collaboration with Za Ondekoza, a taiko drum troupe.

Alas, Mad Rants is dead. It has ceased to be, kicked the bucket, shuffled off the mortal coil. It is an ex-website.
I left off funding my hosting for a bit too long and they sent my site off to join the choir invisible. They said it was merely pining for the fjords but I know better. I can tell a dead website when I see one.
This would ideally be the time for me to say "Ah, but I kept backups! It'll be back up in a jiffy!" But no, I didn't. At least not since sometime in 2009. Whoops. I don't think Mad Rants will be back any time soon.
Perhaps I'll get a parrot instead...
