Breast Augmentation After Breast Feeding: How Long Should You Wait?
Therefore, for sizing purposes, you should wait until your breasts are back to their normal pre-pregnancy size. This may be as short as two or three weeks after weaning. There is no need to wait longer.
I hope that helps.

Weight 6 months or longer after done breast-feeding before breast augmentation
Thank you for your question.
I suggest waiting 6 months or preferably a year after finish breast-feeding before you have breast augmentation surgery. It takes time for the breast gland to return to a normal state after breast-feeding. If you have breast augmentation too early many of the glands are still producing milk, and have not atrophied or reduced in size. You want the gland to be in its final state before surgery. If you have breast augmentation while the gland is still enlarged and it reduces in size later this may affect your result.
Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in your procedure, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.
Learn more: http://drseckel.com/surgical-procedures/result-oriented-breast-augmentation-breast-enlargement/
Wait 6 months after nursing for breast augmentation.
After your milk has completely dried up, wait a minimum of 6 months and then schedule a consultation.

Breast implants OK 6 months after stopped breast feeding.
You want to let all of your hormones settle down before having elective surgery. So wait six months after you stop breast feeding and then have breast implants.

Perham splits first home triangular
PERHAM — The Yellowjackets wrestling team split their home opener triangular with Moorhead and Wadena-Deer Creek.
Moorhead defeated Perham 45-25, while Perham missed the maximum total points against Wadena-Deer Creek by three points in an 81-0 blowout.
Perham used six pins from Ben Nelson (120), Chase Curtis (126), Tyler Fudge (138), Evan Guck (152), Jesse Klatt (195) and Trent Jahnke (220), along with a 10-5 decision by Dylan Perrine (152) over Blaine Snyder in the victory over the Wolverines.
Another rough year for Wadena-Deer Creek, as far as numbers, was evident in the Wolverines forfeiting seven matches.
The Spuds rallied for wins in the final three matches to defeat the Jackets.
Moorhead took the first three matches to lead 15-0. Perham answered with the next three to lead 16-15 on a 8-0 major decision (8-0) by Curtis over Riley Schock to get Perham on the board 15-4.
Sam Pirrotta pinned Trent Erickson at 4:20, followed by Tyler Fudge winning by fall at 5:12 over Taylor Laidlaw to give Perham a one-point lead at 16-15.
The teams split pins in the next two matches. Moorhead's Mark Kenny pinned Zach Peterson at 3:09. Colin Neitzke pinned Moorhead's RJ Olson at 5:37 as the teams flip-flopped six points and Perham remained ahead 22-21.
Moorhead took the lead for good on a 5-2 decision by Wyatt Hanson over Perham's Patrick Glynn.
Samuel Grove pinned Cole Schmitz at 1:32 for a 30-22 lead.
Perham closed to within five points with William Parks defeated Grant Trowbridge 8-4 cutting the lead to 30-25,
Moorhead swept the heavies on a 7-3 decision by Joseph Grove over Jesse Klatt and pins by Ryan Schock over Jahnke at 1:27 and a 55-second pin of Jesse Bucholz by Brody Jerome for the 45-25 final.

Growing your business with marketing, week 34: It's all in the "ask"
Posted by Colleen Wainwright on
This is Week 34 of a 52-week project/experiment in DIY marketing. Armed with nothing but a copy of the 2009 Grow Your Business Marketing Plan + Calendar
and my bare wits, I'm applying the skills you need to grow a business
in real time, day by day, and reporting on them week by week. See the Project Companion Blog, A Virgo's Guide to Marketing, for in-depth posts, additional links and other marketing-related goodness.
What do you do if you're not good at asking for stuff?
You look at why. You look at when you have asked, and when you haven't, and what's different.
You look at what it could do for your business or you or even the world if your "ask" got an answer.
Basically, you look. At least, that's what I did. And what I found wasn't particularly thrilling, but may end up being very helpful.
Jump over to the Virgo Guide to read the big, gory story in all its pain (and yes, some glory.)

Dickerscheid March 16, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Even the most difficult family histories are no match for the researchers at the West Virginia Division of Culture and History's Archives and History Library.Have grandparents who eloped? The library staff can help you locate their marriage license.Have a great-great-great-great-grandfather who was a slave before the Civil War? The library staff can help you try to learn more about him.Have a Cherokee princess in your family history? The library staff can help you determine whether that piece of family folklore is possibly true.Scouring the thousands of records available through the West Virginia Division of Culture and History's Archives and History Library, Diane White of Charleston has traced her African-American ancestors who lived in West Virginia back to the 1800s, and she's only just beginning."It starts with us," White said, pressing the palm of her hand to her heart. "If we know who we are, why we are and what we can become, it's that sense of knowing."Each year, the State Archives library helps about 5,500 patrons such as White navigate through their complicated and sometimes difficult family histories. Countless others tap the state records online.In addition to the usual birth and death certificates, marriage licenses and newspaper obituaries, the State Archives provides a plethora of information that can be gleaned from yearbooks; census, funeral home and prison records -- even public dance cards, social columns and reparations claims. Valuable information also can be found in naturalization records, state mining fatality records, military service records, photographs, manuscripts, special collections and old maps. "You have to think like a detective," said Archives and History librarian Susan Scouras. "If you don't have a birth record, there are always alternate sources."Some of the most challenging ancestors to track down include women, American Indians, African-Americans and other demographic groups that may have scant mention in official records and rarely made the social columns of any newspaper. That's where Scouras and the other researchers at the Archives Library can help.For instance, before the Civil War, counties kept registries of free blacks that include the names, ages and detailed physical descriptions of each individual.The state also compiled lists of every person killed in a mining accident that included their name, age, marital status, number of surviving children and other details. "There are no magic wands, but there are no stone walls either," Scouras said. "You never know what we're going to have. Just be sure to ask. We could keep you busy for life."Indexes of the State Archive collections, plus free, searchable databases of selected county birth, death and marriage records, are available at www.wvculture.org/history."The thrill of the hunt is part of it for most people," Scouras said. Sometimes people are delighted by what they find. Sometimes they are dismayed. "Sometimes what they find can help soften the blow," she said, telling the story of a man who learned that his father, who died when the man was a child, had killed himself."By reading the page-one [newspaper] article he learned that his father was well-respected and that his death may have been prompted by the recent death of his beloved wife," she said.The library staff also can help people paint a fuller picture of the people behind the names and the type of lives they lived. Details about ancestors' lives, the communities in which they lived and the times in which they lived help to bring life to family genealogies, Scouras said, and each new piece of information often leads people to want to learn more."You don't want to become just a name collector," she said. "If you can't imagine or have an idea of how your grandparents lived, you're missing the point."The reasons people get hooked on tracing their family trees varies. Some just want to learn where they came from. Others want to learn more about their family's medical history.White said she plans to take her findings to her family reunion this summer. By sharing what she's discovered about her ancestors, she hopes to spark an interest among other family members to join her quest. "It's just amazing what you can find here," White said.See also: Libraries offer workshops on researching ancestors.P.J.

Hey all!
So I have my biggest cake pop bouquet order ever, which will consist of 200 cake pops. My only question is, what to use as the support. I usually use floral foam, do they make styro balls big enough for this, I am thinking the size of a basketball.
whats your take?
Yes, they make them that big. They sell them at walmart. Or you could use the foam if you can't find one near you that is big enough. It is really going to be a balancing game. Make sure whatever type of container you are using is heavy enough to hold them up. I decided to get a really inexpensive light weight one for a cupcake bouquet and it kept trying to topple over. Grrr.
The container I picked is a glass vase from walmart. And I will be weighing it down with beads. I am also going to put a dowel through the foam so there is something hold it in place. Extra stability.

Thor was rescued from the Lorain County Dog Kennel along with a littermate who also is available for adoption. He does seem fine with other dogs and we believe he will do well with children who are respectful. Since he does try to dominate his littermate some, we think he would do best with a submissive female. We have not had him long enough to test him with cats or children. Thor does appear to be housebroken and likes to ride in the car. He has been friendly with all the people he has met and is a very affectionate guy. He does know how to sit and I believe he will be a very quick learner. As always, we do prefer a fenced in yard so he is free to explore the yard on his own and get the exercise he needs along with a daily walk. Thor will make someone an awesome best friend.

Asheville Estate Cordless Wreath is rated out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasChristmasGal from Love this garland I purchased another garland to go on my mantle. I did not like the way it look so I purchased this one from Frontgate. I absolutely love it. It did cost a little more than one it replaced, but well worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FarmMama from Asheville Estate Garland Absolutely gorgeous!! I'm a longtime FG customer and feel that their merchandise is top of the line. It costs a little more but is soooo worth it! Our entire home is decorated this Christmas with the Asheville Estate line.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LillyF from Asheville estate garland I think the garlands are lovely but the lights are not as bright as they look in the picture from the catalog or online.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SteveFromWeston from High qual, lights could be more evenly distributed Overall a very high quality and nice looking item. Dense greenery along with pine cones dispersed throughout. Remember, there is a big difference in batteries!!! Choose batteries with a high Mamp rating and you'll be more than pleased with the brightness. The only thing keeping me rating this with 5 stars is the fact that the lights on one end are far more densely distributed than on the distant end. Looks like whomever was weaving this into the garland began to run out of lights when they got to the far end.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Margo1610 from Nice and full This wreath was nicely shaped right out of the box. Very full with a variety of (artificial) greenery. I did need to tweak the lights a little so they where more visible/ weren't hidden by the greenery. This wreath requires 3 "C" batteries. The battery box is black so easily hidden on top of the wreath. I am happy with this purchase.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Barb5 from Asheville Estate Cordless Lighted Corner Swag I have ordered many items from Frontgate & have always received top quality & beautiful items, including a gorgeous flip tree few years ago. The two corner swags are a perfect size & love the cordless feature with choice of programmable lighting, but I was disappointed in the quality of these two items; one is pretty & full, but fit of batteries poor, since it won't stay on; the other is sparse, with branches hanging down lower than other one & giving it a skimpy look. However, it was ordered late, & the Frontgate delivery service was & always has been suberb! Absolutely love ordering from Frontgate, & this is the only purchase that has been "less than".
Date published: 2017-01-02
does this collection come with timers built in?
yes up to 6 hours
Date published: 2016-02-20
Is there a timer included, so the lights stay on for a certain amount of time each day?
Hi! I had the same question. I called customer service and they said if you put the garland in timer mode the lights stay on for 6 hours and then go off for 18 and then they will turn on again and repeat the cycle. Hope that helps!
Date published: 2016-11-26
These are battery operated but it doesn't say if they are on an auto timer. Are they?
Thank you for your interest in the Asheville Estate Cordless Corner Swags, Set of Two. This item is battery operated and does have a timer option.

What is the difference between the Ashville Estate Cordless garland and the Bannister garland?
Thank you for your interest in the Asheville Estate Cordless Greenery Collection. The main difference between the Asheville Estate Cordless Garland (147720) and the Asheville Estate Cordless Banister Garland (147724) is that the banister garland is more flexible to allow it to be more easily wrapped around a banister.
Date published: 2016-11-22
I purchased three 9' sections but it came with no instructions on best way to connect them or what the difference is between on and auto
Thank you for your interest in the Asheville Estate Cordless Garland. To connect the garlands you purchased you can simply overlap them or you can use garland ties such as our Set of 20 Garland Ties (45971). This item has a timer function on the battery box. To use this function turn to the auto option; the lights will stay on for several hours and then turn themselves back on at the same time the following day.

PINOLE — The city finds itself looking for an interim fire chief after the previous one had to quit because he reached the maximum number of hours of service during a fiscal year under state Public Employees Retirement System rules.
Carlos Rodriguez, who retired as fire chief of Union City, had served as Pinole's interim chief on a contract basis since June.
Rodriguez left the post during Christmas week, having reached the 960-hour maximum for retired annuitants during fiscal year 2013-14.
Pinole had asked PERS for a waiver of the rule but was denied, said City Manager Belinda Espinosa.
She said she hopes to have a new interim chief on board soon.
For the longer term, Pinole is looking for a permanent, full-time fire chief. The deadline for applying is March 2.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to identification tag structures for attaching to an article of interest, and more specifically to radio frequency (RF) magnetic tag structures having portions (e.g., arms) coated with thin magnetic films and utilizing resonant frequencies of the arms for identification of the article.
2. Cross-reference to Related Applications
The invention disclosed and claimed herein is related to the inventions disclosed and claimed in copending applications Ser. Nos 08/344,808, 08/344,296 and 08/344,196.
3. Description of the Related Art
For personnel identification, retail tagging, tagging used in the road/air-freight package industry, and pallet tagging in manufacturing processes, a tag (also known as an "identification tag" or "marker") coupled to animate (e.g., personnel) or inanimate objects (hereafter referred to as "products" or "articles") is useful for identifying the personnel/product/article in detail. With a sufficient number of bits, the tag can be interrogated to determine what the product is (or who the person wearing the tag is), when it was manufactured, its price, whether the product has been properly passed through an interrogation zone (e.g., a check-out counter or a kiosk) etc. Identifying the product via a tag may hasten a new type of checkout system for the retail industry giving rise to a so-called "no-wait checkout".
Conventional magnetic tags and tag systems have had a number of problems including: 1) having only one bit, 2) requiring a large amount of power so as to read the tag, and 3) being relatively easy to defeat by tampering.
For example, a first conventional tag element includes a single longitudinally resonant element, whereas a second conventional tag element includes a plurality of resonant elements. Each of these tags uses soft magnetostrictive material on a substrate, biased by an adjacent strip of a hard magnetic material. Magnetic fields stimulated by an alternating current (AC) field causes rotation of domains resulting in a change in the strip's permeability. This change in permeability can give rise to a resonant magnetomechanical coupling and results in a dimensionally changed and enhanced magnetic flux change which is detected by a receiving coil. Deactivation of the tag is accomplished by using an additional bias magnet located externally to the tag to change the field of the fixed magnet within the tag, thereby resulting in a change in the strip's resonant frequency so that the resonant frequency falls outside of a preset detectable frequency.
The conventional tags above do not employ cantilevers. Further, these conventional tags employ magnetostrictive materials (e.g., materials in which their dimensions change due to magnetization thereof) and utilize only magnetic excitation. Each of the conventional tags above utilizes resonant frequencies, which, because they result in longitudinal rather than transverse resonances, are proportional to the reciprocal length of the magnetostrictive strip.
A third conventional tag has a vibration sensor having one or more cantilevers tuned to resonate at predetermined frequencies. The cantilever vibration causes a circuit gap to close, thereby allowing current to flow through the cantilever and the then-closed contact, with the current then flowing to a microchip and an integrated circuit mounted on the base of the device.
This tag is disadvantageous because it requires a power source, wiring, current flow through the device for sensing and an integrated circuit, all of which are part of the package and thereby make the device large and complex. Excitation is via mechanical vibration.
Yet another conventional tag system includes several different lengths of magnetostrictive material which are made to resonate in a longitudinal mode upon magnetic AC excitation being applied thereto. The resonant frequency is proportional to 1/length as opposed to 1/(length)2 for cantilevers. Because the material is magnetostrictive, a rotation of domains upon application of an external, heterogeneous bias field will cause a change in the Young's modulus of the magnetostrictive material, thereby resulting in a shift in resonance frequencies. As is known, the Young's modulus is dependent on the applied magnetic bias field. The change in Young's modulus in an applied field is commonly referred to as "the ΔE effect". The shift in frequency is sensed upon application of an alternating current (AC) resonant magnetic field in combination with the direct current (DC) field. For an externally applied heterogeneous bias field, more than one tag can be detected even if otherwise identical, so long as each tag is located spatially apart from one another.
A fourth conventional device includes cantilevers having different lengths, responding to different frequencies resulting from speech patterns. The device uses neither magnetic materials nor magnetic excitation or detection. Instead, piezoelectric sensors are incorporated onto the cantilever structure for sensing speech, thus requiring wiring. Further, there is no ability of this device to be sensed remotely.
In view of the foregoing, hitherto the invention, there has not been any tag or tag system having more than one bit, which can be read with relatively low power density (e.g., preferably on the order of ≈0.1mW/cm2) and sensed remotely, and which is difficult to defeat by tampering.
It is therefore an object of the present invention m provide a tag and tag system having more than one bit, which can be read with relatively low power density (e.g., preferably on the order of ≈0.1 mW/cm2) and sensed remotely (e.g., by a device external to the tag), and which is difficult to defeat by tampering.
In a first aspect of the invention, an RF tag is provided according to the present invention which is fabricated from a predetermined material (e.g., preferably silicon) having portions coated with thin magnetic films and utilizing resonant frequencies of thin bars or cantilevers having slightly different lengths produced by differential etching or the like. An array of such bars is preferably coated with a magnetic material which, upon interrogation with an RF (AC) magnetic field, will vibrate at the bars'resonant frequencies in the presence of a predetermined bias or direct current (DC) field. Here, the force needed for vibration is created by the field gradient. A set of harmonic RF frequencies will be generated from the different lengths of the one-end clamped bars. The fields produced by the interaction of the oscillating (RF) magnetic field generated by the vibrating bar and the stationary DC field can be readily detected by a receiver.
In a second aspect of the invention, a unique and unobvious RF tag structure for coupling to an article and for being interrogated to give information regarding the article, is provided which includes a substrate, and a plurality of arms coupled to the substrate, each of the plurality of arms being coated with a magnetic coating and at least some of the plurality of arms being set to have a predetermined frequency upon being subjected to excitation. The invention also includes means for magnetically biasing the plurality of arms, wherein, upon reception of external excitation, at least some of the plurality of arms generate harmonic magnetic oscillations defining a predetermined code, the excitation being at least one of acoustic excitation or magnetic excitation.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1A illustrates selective silicon etching techniques for forming a plurality of cantilevers (or bars) clamped at one end using a silicon wafer as a starting material, according to the present invention.
FIG. 1B illustrates the structure of the tag according to the present invention.
FIG. 2A illustrates an acoustically-driven tag according to the present invention.
FIG. 2B illustrates a tag according to the present invention being driven by an AC magnetic field.
FIG. 2C illustrates a tag according to the invention being driven by a combination of AC and DC magnetic fields.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1A, the invention generally includes an array of arms (e.g., cantilevers or bars) produced by micromachining or selective etching techniques as are known in the art. Micromachining is the technology whereby mechanical devices are fabricated using techniques employed in the fabrication of monolithic integrated circuits. FIG. 1A illustrates the selective silicon etching technique in forming the plurality of arms.
The plurality of arms are mechanically clamped at one end by the wafer itself, the arms preferably formed from silicon or the like, as the starting material. Silicon is preferably used since it can be anisotropically etched by prescribed reagents. The arms can be integrally formed with the substrate or can be separately formed from the substrate and then mounted thereto with one end of the arms being clamped to the wafer. Alternatively or additionally to silicon, other suitable starting materials can also be used, such as, for example, any etchable material (e.g., Ge, Mo, W, etc.)
For silicon, lithographic techniques, as known in the art, are employed to produce a selective boron implant in a predetermined shape (e.g., the shape of small rectangles) on the surface of the silicon. Clearly, the boron implant can take any desired shape depending upon desired design characteristics and parameters. The boron acts as a mask stop for the subsequent silicon etching step. In addition to or in lieu of boron, other suitable mask materials can be used as are known in the art.
The structure of the present invention is more clearly shown in FIG. 1B in which the tag (also known as an identifier, marker or the like) is formed by first providing a substrate 1 such as a silicon wafer or the like. The substrate is selectively etched to produce an array of micromechanical arms (cantilevers, bars, etc.) 2 having one end fixed to said substrate and being free to vibrate upon excitement by a suitable excitation means (e.g., sound wave producing device, a magnetic field producing device, etc.).
A bias field to the arms 2 is provided by permanent magnet yoke 3. The arms are "interrogated" as discussed below by introduction of a predetermined set of radio frequency (RF) fields which causes the cantilevers to resonate at a predetermined frequency, thereby sending a signal to a receiving coil (and ultimately to a processor) to determine the code of the tag (and thus identify information related to the article). As discussed below, each arm can be used to provide a bit of data through its unique resonant frequency or harmonics thereof. In lieu of or in addition to the yoke configuration, an inhomogeneous external field can be used for biasing the arms/cantilevers.
Thus, with the present invention, a plurality of cantilevers having varying lengths and/or thicknesses is produced, each cantilever resonating at a given fixed fundamental frequency given by
f1 =(0.16T/L2)(Y/ρ)0.5 (1)
f1 is frequency of vibration of the fundamental mode of vibration;
Y is Young's modulus;
ρ is the density of the cantilever material;
L is the length of the cantilever; and
T is the thickness of the cantilever.
The higher normal mode frequencies are given by:
f2 =6.27f1 ; and
f3 =17.55f1.
From Equation 1, it is clear that for small changes in L, (i.e., ΔL) that Δf/f=-2ΔL/L. The factor two is advantageous in increasing the frequency spread, occurring because of the 1/L2 dependence of the frequency on the cantilever length.
Thus, upon exposure to, for example, a magnetic field within an interrogation zone, a substantial change in the effective magnetic permeability of the arms at the resonant frequency of which preselected frequencies are comprised, provide the marker with a signal identity. Hence, a predetermined exciting impulse signal generated by an exciting unit (e.g., a coil or the like such as AC or AC and DC coil, or speakers for acoustic applications) causes the strips to oscillate at their resonant frequencies, with these oscillations being easily detected by a receiver (e.g., a receiving coil or the like) and decoded by a decoding device.
Each cantilever 2 is coated with a thin layer of soft magnetic material to yield a low coercive ferromagnet with a high permeability. Materials which may be used for the thin layer include, for example, permalloy or other NiFe alloys, amorphous magnetic alloys and one or more alternating bi-layers of Ge and Co (or cobalt alloys) or Ge and Ni (or alloys of Ni). The cantilevers are preferably selectively formed to have predetermined resonant frequencies which are unique to one another.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the array is positioned in a permanent magnet of a highly coercive, highly remanent material in the form of a yoke 3 or two separated strips. This positioning in such a structure provides a bias or high DC field for the cantilevers 2. As mentioned above, in lieu of or in addition to the yoke configuration, an inhomogeneous external field for biasing the arms can also be employed.
To obtain the information on the tag and as mentioned above, an RF (or AC) interrogation field is applied thereto. Formation of an RF (or AC) interrogation field is believed to be well within the grasp of one of ordinary skill in the art within the purview of this application.
Many suitable methods of interrogating the tag are available. For example, an impulse signal can be used to cause all of the active elements (arms 2) to resonate simultaneously. The impulse is preferably directed at a power density of <1 mW/cm2 and more preferably one the order of 0.1 mW/cm2, but it is clear that any desired impulse power can be used by suitably modifying the design characteristics of the tag structure and the environment, the latter, for example, to maintain safety standards.
Another method of interrogating the tag is to apply a set of frequencies corresponding to the resonating frequencies in a "chirp" fashion to cause each active element present within the tag to vibrate in a temporal sequence. The frequencies can be applied by frequency generators coupled to the excitation device (e.g., speakers, AC excitation coil, and/or AC and DC excitation coil).
In any case, the interrogating signals cause the active elements to oscillate within the stronger bias field. The forces acting on the cantilevers 2 and the ensuing vibration are due to the additional magnetic field gradients caused by the introduction of the RF field.
Due to the magnitude of the displacement as well as to the nonlinearity caused by the hysteresis curve of the magnetic material coating the cantilever, RF harmonic (e.g., second) frequencies will be generated from each of the individual vibrating arms 2.
Then, the information or code from the tag can be sensed by detecting the presence or absence of the known (e.g., fundamental, second or higher) harmonic frequencies by a pickup or receiving coil. Such a coil is known in the art and will not be described herein in detail. Based on the detected frequency code (e.g., the harmonic waves of the frequency) generated by the tag, decoding or interpretation of the code can be accomplished by a suitable decoding device coupled to the pickup/receiving coil. The structure of the decoder is known in the art and thus will not be discussed here in detail except to say that the decoder typically includes, for example, an interface between the receiving apparatus (e.g., the coil or the like) and a suitable processor including such known circuitry as an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, suitable signal condition/processing circuitry, lookup tables and logic circuitry.
The number of arms 2 in the array will determine the number of information bits possible to be stored to provide information regarding the article associated with the tag structure.
The large separation of the bars'harmonic frequencies may also be used by sensing higher harmonic frequencies with the detector or driving the cantilever at higher harmonic frequencies than the lowest order harmonic. For example, driving the cantilever at f2 will cause a harmonic RF frequency to be generated at 2.54f2. This multiplicative factor is especially useful when very small changes in bar length are desired, a condition that will contribute to miniaturization of the tag.
Furthermore, tags can be personalized or made to contain unique information by disabling certain predetermined arms. Then, the absence or presence of a frequency component will correspond to a "1"or "0"in real-time, as preselected by the operator. Numerous methods of personalizing the tag may be employed such that the bars are selectively disabled, including physically removing selected cantilevers or destroying the magnetization of selected cantilevers. One means, especially useful where the soft magnetic layer consists of bi-layers as earlier described is to heat the cantilevers to interdiffuse the layers thus causing the cantilevers to become non-magnetic so when diffused and, hence, no longer able to cause the silicon arm to vibrate with magnetic excitation.
The tag also can be interrogated using sound waves from speakers driven by frequency generators, or the like, to cause the individual cantilevers to be set into resonant transverse vibration. Changes in magnetic field due to the mechanical vibrations can be sensed by receiving/pickup coils or the like, as is known in the art. Similarly to the embodiment above, the presence or absence of a particular frequency serves as a "1" or "0" in binary logic. Based on the detected frequency (or detected frequency code) generated by the tag, decoding or interpretation of the code can be accomplished by a suitable decoding device coupled to the pickup/receiving coil as discussed above.
An advantage of interrogating by an audio signal is that the need for special orientations to couple the interrogation signal to the device is less critical. Detection can be readily achieved by arranging sensing coils along various orientations. Magnetic sensing from various orientations is much simpler than interrogating multidirectionally. The output of the pickup/receiving coils are preferably input to a detecting/decoding element in which a signal level above a predetermined threshold will cause an alarm or the like to be generated by the detecting/decoding element.
For magnetic excitation, the cantilevers 2 are preferably encased in a vacuum housing to avoid damping by air resistance. Damping makes detection of the resonant frequencies more difficult. By the same token, if damping is desired, the cantilevers can be encased in a suitable gaseous environment. Since the cantilevers 2 are clamped at one end, the casing can be designed to allow mechanical coupling from the outside portion of the casing to each cantilever, in which case acoustic excitation can be employed.
As mentioned above, the tag according to the present invention is typically used in a system for identifying an article to which the tag is coupled, with the system using acoustic and/or magnetic excitation to interrogate the tag.
In a first example of such a system, FIG. 2A illustrates an acoustically-driven tag according to the present invention in which a tag 30 has acoustical waves applied thereto by a plurality of frequency generators 31 coupled to speakers 32. The number of frequencies used will correspond to the number of elements on the tag (and thus correspond to the number of bits). As a result of receiving the acoustical excitation, the tag's active elements (cantilevers) will begin to oscillate at their resonant frequencies. The resonant frequencies will be received and sensed by a sensor/pickup coil 33. Coil 33 generates a signal based on the input from the tag 30, with the corresponding signal being processed by well-known circuitry in (or coupled to) a processor 34 to thereby detect a predetermined code on the tag 30. As is known, the processor can be coupled to an alarm device should the code match (or not match) other preselected information. Other features of this system include the capability of optimized interrogation by deploying a variety of speakers in different directions to minimize orientation or shadowing effects. This system is advantageous because special orientations to couple the interrogation signal to the device are less critical in interrogation by acoustic energy.
FIG. 2B illustrates a tag according to the present invention being driven by an AC magnetic field in which frequency generators 31 drive an AC magnetic excitation coil 35 for interrogating the tag 30 and for causing the array of active elements in tag 30 to oscillate at their predetermined resonant frequencies for detection by coil 33 and detection of the predetermined code of the tag. Other features of this system include providing a plurality of coils each having different orientations to minimize geometrical effects. This system is advantageous because of its integrated character (e.g., the entire system being magnetic).
FIG. 2C illustrates a tag according to the invention being driven by a combination of AC and DC magnetic fields in which frequency generators 31 and a DC source 36 (e.g., a battery, etc.) drive an AC and DC coil 37. The AC and DC coil can be formed integrally or as separate components. With such a structure, the tag need not have a hard magnet built therein. In this system, frequency generators 31 and DC source 36 drive the AC and DC magnetic excitation coil 37 for interrogating the tag 30 and for causing the array of active elements in tag 30 to oscillate at their predetermined resonant frequencies. Such resonant frequencies are detected by coil 33 and the subsequent detection of the predetermined code of the tag is made after processing by the processor 34. Other features of this system include the ability to minimize the tag's size due to eliminating the hard magnet. This system is advantageous because of its simpler design.
While the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

'Happy' Video Brings Unhappiness in Tehran
You just can't help smiling when you hear Pharrell Williams' Happy song--unless you're a Muslim cleric in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Using an iphone 5 for their camera, some young, creative Iranians recently put together a music video, dancing and laughing to Happy. They uploaded it to YouTube, and after government officials viewed it, they quickly denounced the video.
It apparently made them "unhappy." How dare Iranians dance in public, and females move around without covering their heads!
So, the six young adults--all under the age of 25--were arrested and forced to apologize for their actions.
It comes at a time when President Rouhani will soon celebrate one year in office. He promised reforms, but so far a more open and free Iranian society remains elusive.
The only happiness allowed in Tehran is what the Islamic clerics and ayatollahs dictate. It reminds me of the old Peanuts cartoon when Snoopy approaches a public building. The sign outside says, "No dogs allowed!"
Perhaps the Islamic Republic should posts signs at its borders, warning those who enter, "No happiness allowed!"
Watch the video. Seeing happy, young Iranians will make you happy!

Downtown pharmacy closing after Walgreens purchase
Southside Bemidji residents who relied on Pamida filling their medical prescriptions are going to travel a little further starting in mid-December.
Walgreens said it has purchased the Pamida Pharmacy patient files, and starting Dec. 15, will have them in the drug store at 421 Paul Bunyan Drive NW.
"We were looking to expand our market," said Robert Elfinger, a corporate spokesman for Walgreens. "We are looking to serve more patients in this part of Minnesota."
Walgreens operates more than 7,700 drug stores nationwide.
"We intend to make this a seamless transition for Pamida patients," Elfinger said.
Pamida displayed a sign in its store, 200 Paul Bunyan Drive S., informing customers it would not fill prescriptions there after the close of business Dec. 14.
The sign, along with an ad in The Bemidji Pioneer, said Walgreens purchased the records. In part, the store sign reads: "Walgreens is looking forward to continuing the highest level of customer service you have been receiving."
When contacted Thursday, a store employee responded, "We're not allowed to say anything." The woman referred all questions to Pamida's corporate offices.
Jessica Gibbons, a marketing communications manager for the Illinois-based company, didn't return calls requesting comment.
Walgreens' purchase applies only to pharmacy records.
The status of Pamida's store wasn't clear Thursday and Lori Paris, president of the Bemidji Chamber of Commerce, said Pamida recently signed a 10-year lease for its current building.
"For the people living on the southside of town, it's a convenience" having Pamida downtown, said Paris, adding she hadn't heard of any changes at the store.
According to its website, Pamida, based in Omaha, Neb., serves more than 175 communities in 17 states. It operates 18 stores in Minnesota.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
My mail has just stopped working on my Mac book pro. It will not send or receive.
Check to see if you are online by opening a web page. If you are, look to see if there is a lightning bolt or some other symbol to the right of your inbox. If there is, click it, and if prompted tell your Mac to take all accounts back online. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and see if that shakes it free. Who is your email provider?
I am online and I get the triangle sign. All accounts are online.
What happens if you click that triangle sign? Does it give you an option to make accounts active or go online? Also, did a restart resolve the issue? And, if you tell me your email provider, that might also give us an idea as to what settings are wrong, or causing this problem.
Yes I clicked it and placed the account online. The provider is www.netfirms.com
Here are the settings for net firms, including port settings. Please confirm in the mail preferences/accounts section that these are accurate. Also, you never answered whether you had done a restart already or not.
E-mail Address:***@******.***
Incoming Mail Server (POP): pop.yourdomain.com (POP port: 110) Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.yourdomain.com (SMTP port: 25 or 587) POP Account Name:***@******.*** Password: Your WebMail Password
Mail just times out every time it tries to connect to the server. But my PC on the same network has no problems. Also when I click on the triangle! The symbol of the account it tells me there may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "my email account" or try again. The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.myemailaccount.com on port 25 timed out.Yes I have restarted several times; this has been going on since yesterday. I also checked all these settings and they are correct. It used to work. I changed ports and retried double checked account info and passwords. None of this solved this problem.
My current port is 110 for pop.
Try a permissions repair by going to the utilities folder, which is inside the applications folder, and running disk utility, and repairing the permissions on your drive. You can also try un-enabling the faulty account, and recreating the settings on a new account to see if you can shake the problem. As a last resort (and only a last resort), try deleting the mail programs preference file, located in your home account, inside your library, inside the preferences folder. It is called com.apple.mail.plist. Quit mail, throw that plist away, and restart mail.

The USTA's Florida section is widely known as a tennis breeding ground where players are groomed from birth to one day enjoy a college or pro career. But don't tell Christiana Brigante. She was 14 years old when she decided to take tennis seriously, ignoring her peers' 10 year head start. In other words, this soon-to-be University of Oklahoma Sooner has not been your typical junior player.
"[Caesar said] he was 'taken with my athleticism' and asked my parents if he could have a summer to train me," Brigante said, laughing as she recalled the story. "I was goofing around, basically. I knew how to hit a backhand because I could use two hands. I was just swinging away and hitting it."
As it turns out, one summer was all it took to take Brigante from once-a-week recreational player to full-blown competitor. Her ranking skyrocketed from 800 to 200 in Florida, culminating in her first appearance in a state "designated" tournament. And that's where the Cinderella story hit a speed bump.
"A lot of the tennis players were a lot bigger than me," she explained, "so going in as a kid that just started playing a few months ago, skinny and smaller than everyone else, was intimidating. I had been told many, many times that Florida was a tough section, and so I went in thinking that it wasn't going to be pretty."
So how did it go?
"Oh, I lost and lost," she said matter-of-factly. "The matches aren't ones that I would say were competitive, but you have to start somewhere."
In less than four years, Brigante used what she calls a "grinding" game style to claw her way to five-star status and a national recruiting ranking of 66. Competing in a combination of junior ITFs and USTA tournaments, she began to realize how much her natural disposition helped her on the court.
"I don't back down," she said. "If someone is really killing me, I'll keep fighting. I'll never be one of those people who will roll over and protect their ego. If they beat me, they actually beat me because I'm never going to give up."
Once her attitude and athleticism began to attract attention from various universities, Brigante sat down with her mom and a list of the NCAA's top 75 teams to plot out her top picks. She remembers her mother suggesting the Oklahoma, to which she replied, "Why would I want to live there?"
Her perspective changed when she received a "nice, genuine" email from University of Oklahoma head coach David Mullins. After accepting an official visit, she instantly fell in love with the Oklahoma atmosphere.

Three years ago I had a tummy tuck and it is a very painful surgery. I have had six children and several hernias. There are not enough words to explain how good i feel and strong since I had this done. There are scars involved and a lot of pain but don't let this scare you. When you heal up it's amazing.
All my fears went out the window the day of surgery because of how the staff made me feel. I didn't feel like a patient, I felt like a family member. Now I'm three weeks into my nreast augmentation and I love it. This one really scared me going in because I worried I was going to hate feeling the implants. I am happy to say you do NOT feel the implant. You feel sore and swollen, but you can't feel anything foreign in your body. I would do it again pain, scras and all because after having six kids
Dr. Hopkins gave me back my body and then some. It looks like I do sit ups everyday. Thanks to every one at Plastic Surgery Center in Albuquerque NM

The 2010-11 season has been a study in the Shakespearean concept of outrageous fortune for Edmonton. The team has suffered from threats of venue change, they have seen their roster decimated by injuries and for many, the departure of leading scorer Dustin Penner to Anaheim seemed like even the powers that be in the Oilers Organisation were taking their own dirty hits.
On and off the ice, there were touchpoints of trouble for the franchise. To name a few:
Preseason talk of a move– For some clubs, this is a yearly occurrence. The Oilers Organisation saw the thinning patience in Winnipeg, Quebec City and Hamilton as an opportunity to use talk of a move as a bargaining tool to get the city to spring for a new arena. The response wasn't pretty. The City of Edmonton demurred, citing harsh economic circumstances. Fans and the media speculated about bringing in another team.
Injuries So far this season Edmonton has lost 188 man games due to injuries. This is actually a fairly light number compared to other teams in the conference. The real issue is who is hurt and for how long. Out for the season as of publication: Sam Gagner and Taylor Hall. Gagner was having a great year and losing him at any point has to hurt. Hall went quickly from being a promising rookie to someone whose bad days are better than many of his colleagues' (across the NHL, much less EDM) good days.
Further Bettmanisation of Arena Culture at Rexall Centre This is arguably a peripheral issue. Still, the addition of more glitz and gams in the form of the Octane was an affront to EDM's hard core fanbase. It demonstrated an unfortunate indication of the degree of disconnect between the Oilers' front office and the people who fill the bowl two to four times a week during the regular season. This evil member of the liberal elite media doesn't have much faith in trickle-down economics, but the discord surrounding this decision couldn't help but create a blip of distraction for those on the ice. The game is too interactive and personal for it to not have any effect.
Inconsistent Performance from Khabibulin Goalies are the backbone of the team and Khabibulin's issues proved to be a stumbling block for the Oilers early on. EDM missed the support that he could have given between the pipes. It took a toll on the team's momentum. Khabs hasn't morphed into an ordinary goalie by any stretch of the imagination. He can be brilliant between in the net and because of this, his move to EDM was seen as a positive step for a better season. This has been a troubling year for him both personally and professionally and it has shown in his performance on the ice.
A Need For Speed Toughness isn't an issue for Edmonton. One problem that is evident is a real need for speed and tighter blade skills. Sometimes the only reason they're outplayed is that they're outskated by the other guys.
Losing Dustin Penner Numbers crunchers and stats geeks all gave a thumbs up to EDM's decision to trade Penner while he was still hot and they could get maximum value for him. for those who were more concerned about what was happening on the other side of the glass and dashers, this seemed like an insane move. Penner was their top scorer. He could be a relentless, ferocious competitor on the ice and the prospect of an in-conference trade meant that EDM's sure bet would now be moving the puck the wrong way down the ice.
In spite of all of this, the team that seems to be stuck at the bottom of the league can and often does show flashes of brilliance on the ice. Everything from respectable showings to shutouts against teams that are ranked well ahead of them indicate that this is not a team that's ranked where they are due to lack of talent. So what do the Oilers have going for them? Let's take a look at a few key points in their development this year.
The maturation of Ryan Jones Acquired on waivers from Nashville, Jones spent a few years in their system trying to find his place on the Predators' roster. The move has proven to be a good one for him. He's gone from "I think I know where my strengths are" to an assured presence on the ice and in the locker room.
Theyre playing sixty minute games …but not enough of them! One of the more troubling hallmarks of teams that could be top-tier but aren't is the phenomenon of seeing them do well for the first twenty to forty minutes of the game and then they check out. Columbus does this, Nashville does this, and alas, so does Edmonton.
Taylor Hall, Taylor Fedun, Colin Teubert EDM is getting stronger when it comes to discovering and developing talent. You may not be familiar with Fedun and Teubert yet, but you will be. They're both promising prospects who could make a big difference for EDM in future seasons. Hall's unnecessary high sprain was an unfortunate blip. By the time the rookies hit camp and are called up, he'll be well on his way to acting more like a seasoned pro and mentor to rookies like Fedun and Teubert.
The Ascendancy of Dubnyk Between the Pipes Devan Dubnyk shows a lot of promise as the calmer half of the Oilers' matched set of pipesmen. The feel around much of his time on the ice, especially at the midpoint of the season, was that he was in a cleanup position. Respectable showings against some daunting teams prove he's worthy of his spot on the roster. 40 saves when facing Boston and 44 saves against Detroit, a team that is extremely tough on goalies, are impressive.
Retention of Veterans An alternative title for this entry could be "People Heal." EDM has this summer to concentrate on rehabilitating, tightening up and getting stronger, smarter and just plain better on the ice. A fire sale of players at this point would not be in their best interest. They have one of the most cohesive units in the NHL and they should utilise that strength.
There is enough talent evident for this storied franchise to live up to the support they enjoy from their tenacious fanbase. With smart management of the assets they have, the slings and arrows of this season's outrageous fortune will be a troubling memory by late summer.
