The invention relates to modular wall-forming panels having a compartment therein, the compartment for receiving flush-mounted shrouds which hold monitors, such as television screens. More specifically, the present invention relates to a unique panel having a compartment capable of enclosing a shroud therein, the shroud having a unique latch mechanism capable of positively retaining the shroud in a closed or an opened position.
Corporate aircraft such as those manufactured by Boeing, Canadair, Falcon, Gulfstream, Lockheed, and McDonald-Douglas often have custom-finished interiors. These interiors sometimes include all of the amenities of a home--such as showers, kitchens, and the like. However, because of the limited space within the aircraft interior, unique designs must be provided to overcome the problems associated with the limitations and space and weight. Lightweight, compact devices are necessary.
The device of the present invention provides for storing within the aircraft interior side wall panel, an LCD monitor storage system which opens and closes at the touch of a button. The monitor storage system provides a shroud which is lightweight and compact and fits within a panel-insertable frame which blends flush into the side wall of the aircraft interior.
Presently, LCD monitors or small televisions are stored in conventional door-accessible cabinets built into bulkheads or side walls of the aircraft interior. The user opens the cabinet door and extends the monitor which is mounted on a conventional, pivoting, adjustable extension arm.
Applicant, on the other hand, provides in the device of the present invention a monitor that stows into a monitor-enclosing shroud which, in turn, stows into a wall-forming panel by recessing into a cavity and providing for the rotation of the shroud on a straight axle which acts as a hinge, allowing the shroud to pivot out from the wall-forming panel yet remaining attached thereto.
Thus, the device of the present invention provides for a lightweight, compact, wall-forming panel for insertion into the interior of an aircraft. The panel comprises a frame having a cavity therein and a first shroud dimensioned to fit within the frame, the shroud articulable on an axle so as to move between a closed position in which the shroud is folded into the frame, with the back side of the shroud being flush with the outer surface of the frame, and an open position for viewing the monitor, by articulating along a straight axle. A latch means provides for positively retaining the shroud-enclosed monitor in the closed position or the opened position.
In addition, the panel of the present invention provides for a motor-driven means for moving the shroud between an open and a closed position.
The device of the present invention also provides for a clutch between the output drive of the electric motor and drive shaft of the axle.
The device of the present invention additionally provides for a means to adjustably mount the shroud to the axle.
The device of the present invention additionally provides for a switching means to operate the electric motor wherein limit switches disengage the electric motor and reverse the direction of the electric motor when the shroud reaches either of the closed or the opened position.
The device of the present invention additionally provides for an electronically-powered latch means having a cam, the cam for engaging and disengaging the axle by an electronically-powered cam release mechanism.
The device of the present invention additionally provides for a panel having a cavity large enough to incorporate two shrouds, each with identical latch assembly, axle and related assemblies.
The device of the present invention has many other objects, as described in the specifications and claims as follows:
A wall-forming panel for insertion into the interior of an aircraft, the panel having a frame with an outer surface defining a cavity. At least one shroud is dimensioned to fit within the cavity and is movable on an axle between an opened position and a closed position, the closed position substantially enclosing the shroud within the walls of the frame. A latch means positively but releasably retains the shroud in a closed or an opened position. The latch means is comprised of a cam and a cam release mechanism. The shroud is dimensioned to receive a monitor, such as a small television screen, therein, and is powered by an electric motor drive.

FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4 all illustrate the use and details of panel (10) of the present invention. More specifically, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate panel (10) having frame (12) with frame outer surface (14) exposed to the interior of the aircraft and frame inner surface (16) facing the exterior of the aircraft. Frame (12) is preferably made of fiberglass or molded material such as acrylonitrile, butadiene, or styrene. Frame (12) therefore is preferably a single piece, rigid and curved in profile to conform to the cylindrical fuselage shape of the aircraft interior walls, as is further appreciated by viewing FIG. 2. Frame outer surface (14) has outer surface side walls (18) and outer surface bottom wall (20), as well as uniform (planar) top surface (19) with a gentle curve (top to bottom) as illustrated in profile in FIG. 2. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is no frame outer surface top wall as such, but instead a frame top edge (22) for flush mounting to the interior surface of the aircraft, for example, to panels adjacent to panel (10) such as the windows illustrated in phantom lines. Frame top edge (22) has lip (24) projecting generally perpendicularly inward therefrom for inserting into conventional aircraft panel mounting members (not shown).
Frame (12) has side edges (24) and bottom edge (26) for flush mounting with adjacent aircraft window panels. Thus, frame (12) contacts existing adjacent panels of the aircraft interior along frame top edge (22), side edge (24), and bottom edge (26) in flush relation with the adjacent aircraft interior panels. This is important for aesthetic purposes. Moreover, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the profile of frame (12) is thin along frame top edge (22) and thickens as the panel curves downward and outward to frame outer surface bottom wall (20).
Frame outer surface (14) (FIG. 2) is shaped to define a shallow upper cavity for receiving a fabric insert removably attached to upper cavity floor (32) (FIGS. 3 and 4). Insert (30) (FIG. 1) is preferably made of a flexible, foam-backed sheet so as to conform with the curvature of frame (12) (as seen in FIG. 2) and preferably has a fabric cover (34) such as leather or the like. Insert (30) is removably attached to upper cavity floor (32) of frame (12) by use of retainment means (36) such as Velcro� fasteners. Frame (12) of panel (10) is dimensioned to have (FIG. 4) walls (39a) (upper), (39b) (side), and (39c) (lower), defining lower cavity (38). Note that upper wall (39a) is slightly shorter than lower wall (39c) so as to maintain the curved profile of panel (10). Note further that kill switches (27) (function to be described in more detail below) are located along or near the top edge of upper cavity floor (32) and hidden by insert (30). Lower cavity (38) (FIGS. 3 and 4) is deeper than upper cavity (28) and has floor (40) thereon. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, lower cavity (38) is dimensioned to receive shroud (42) therein, shroud (42) being preferably made of molded fiberglass and dimensioned to enclose a generally rectangular monitor cavity (44) therein. As can be seen in FIG. 1, lower cavity (38) may be dimensioned for receipt of two shrouds (42), each designed to carry a monitor therein and to fit edge-to-edge as illustrated in FIG. 1. Shrouds (42) will be partially covered, at shroud cover (46), with material similar to that used on insert (30); thus shroud covers may be made of flexible plastic or the like and covered with the same or similar material to that used for insert cover (34). Likewise, retainment means (36) are used to retain shroud covers (46) to shrouds (42). The use of insert cover (34) and shroud covers (46) results in a pleasing exterior appearance to panel (10), while allowing access to the parts of the device located therebeneath. Note also that frame (12) has, located along the lower edge of upper cavity floor (32), access port (35) which allows a metal wire, such as the straight section of a paper clip, to be inserted therethrough to provide for a manual disengage to the latch mechanism as more specifically set forth below.
FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 illustrate additional views of shroud (42). More specifically, shroud (42) has walls defining monitor cavity (44), monitor cavity (44) having floor (48), top and bottom inner side walls (50) and (52), curved outer surface (54) whose curvature is designed to be coincident with the profile as illustrated in FIG. 2 of frame (12). Near inner side wall (54a) and far inner side wall (56) complete the walls defining monitor cavity (44) and can be seen to be generally rectangular. These walls meet perimeter (58) which is comprised of lower perimeter surface (60), far perimeter surface (62), upper perimeter surface (64), and near perimeter surface (66), the perimeter (58) therefore having a flat surface as seen in the view illustrated in FIG. 7. However, near perimeter surface (66) can be seen to be wider than far perimeter surface (62), thereby positioning monitor cavity (and therefore the monitor) further outboard of pivot point as more clearly seen in FIG. 1. Perimeter (58) meets outer side walls (68) along edges (70). Edges (70) can be seen to be curved in profile, primarily for aesthetic purposes. Outer side walls (68) are comprised of far outer side wall (72), top outer side wall (74), near outer side wall (76), and bottom outer side wall (78), the side walls meeting at curved corners (80) to produce a pleasing, tapering, generally rectangular shroud (42).
FIG. 7 illustrates how monitor (82) (phantom lines) fits within monitor cavity (44) in a non-flush relation so as to be canted slightly outward to assist the seated passenger in viewing the monitor screen straight on. Thus, near inner side walls (54a) may be slightly longer than far inner side wall (56) to allow monitor (82) to cant several degrees outward from the panel, yet still provide a flush surface between monitor (82), near perimeter surface (66), and far perimeter surface (62).
FIG. 8 illustrates two shrouds (42) each located in lower cavity (38) and articulating on axles (84). Cam assembly (86) helps to positively and releasably retain each shroud (42) in a closed position wherein shroud cover (46) is flush with insert (30) and the top surface of frame (12). That is, in a closed position shroud (42) is completely enclosed within lower cavity (38). For viewing monitor (82), cam assembly (86) positively and releasably retains monitor (82) enclosed in shroud (42) in a position approximately 95� from the closed position, the shroud (42) being in an open position to allow the passenger to view monitor (82) (See FIGS. 5a and 5b for the closed and open positions respectively). In any case, movement between the closed and the opened position is accomplished by rotation of shroud (42) on axle (84). More specifically, shroud (42) is retained to shroud frame (86a), the shroud frame having a horizontal arm (88) and a vertical arm (90) for mounting on both the inner surfaces of top inner side wall (50) (FIG. 6) and bottom inner side wall (52) (horizontal arms (88)) and the inner surfaces of inner side wall (54a) (vertical arms (90)). Mounting of shroud (42) to axle (84) is accomplished by attaching horizontal arms (88) and vertical arms (90) (two per shroud, as illustrated in FIG. 8) together at joint (92) such that both horizontal arm (88) and vertical arm (90) are attached to one another as well as being attached to shroud (42). Attachment arm (98) (FIG. 9) of adjustable interconnect block (94) connects shroud frame (86a) rigidly to axle (84), and is adjustable as set forth in FIG. 9. More specifically, adjustable interconnect block (94) has body (100) which is generally L-shaped having attachment arm (98) extending therefrom for attaching to vertical arm (90) of shroud frame (86a). Body (100) of adjustable interconnect block (94) has axle bore (96) therein for enclosing a portion of axle (84). Slot (102) provides some flexing to that portion of body (100) that is removed from attachment arm (98). More specifically, threaded bore (104) is designed to receive an adjusting screw (not shown) which, when rotated into threaded bore (104), will provide compression to close slot (102) slightly and provide a snug, tight fit with axle bore (96) compressed on axle (84). Thus, adjustable interconnect block (94) provides for adjustably positioning shroud (42) so it is flushly mounted within lower cavity (38) as illustrated in FIG. 1. Adjustment screws (106) can be seen in FIG. 8.
Thus, the device of the present invention provides for a straight pivot-hinge with shroud (42) rotating on axle (84) between an opened and a closed position, and providing a cam assembly (86) to positively retain shroud (42) in either the opened or closed position.
Cam assembly (86) and axle (84) are mounted on and through, respectively, mounting plate (108) as illustrated in FIGS. 8, 10, and 11. Between mounting plate (108) and frame (12) is T-brace (110) as illustrated in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11. T-brace (110) and mounting plate (108) both provide rigidity for mounting the components of the device of the present invention to frame (12). In particular, mounting plate (108) provides a fixed, rigid, and planar surface to act as a bushing surface for axle (84) and for mounting cam assembly (86) to panel (10). T-brace (110) has arms which extend along the upper inside surface of walls defining lower cavity (38) in a T-shape as illustrated in FIG. 8, with the leg of the T extending downward across the center inside surface of walls defining lower cavity (38) and curving around inside of walls (39c). T-brace (110) provides a means for mounting lower end of axle (84) to maintain proper alignment with upper end of axle (84), the upper end being the end at which cam assisting assembly (86) engages axle (84) as set forth more fully below. In other words, T-brace (110) articulates with both ends of axle (84).
FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate more specifically how motor drive assembly (112) engages axle (84) to rotate shroud (42) between an opened and a closed position. More specifically. FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate axle (84) rotating about bushing (114) through walls of frame (12), through T-brace (110) and through mounting plate (108). Axle retaining jamb nuts (116) retain each end of axle (84). Drive shaft (118) is coupled to removed end (exposed beyond jamb nut (116)) of axle (84a) through universal joint (120). Electric motor (122), which powers shroud (42) is mounted to the inside surface of frame (12) beneath upper cavity floor (32) which, as set forth in more detail earlier, is curved. As a result of the requirement of having a "low profile," curved panel, it is difficult to have direct alignment between drive shaft (118) of electric motor (122) and axle (84), thus the need for a universal joint (120) or other means of conveying the rotational output of drive shaft (118) in a non-linear fashion to axle (84).
Electric motor (122) is attached by motor mounting bracket (124) to the inside surface of frame (12) or to a mounting plate (not shown). Output armature shaft (126) of electric motor (122) is attached to a microswitch/clutch assembly (128). Microswitch/clutch assembly (128) allows disengagement of drive shaft (118) from output armature shaft (126) should shroud (42) in moving between an opened and a closed position, be held or otherwise retained, i.e., one getting one's fingers pinched, while electric motor (122) continues to run. This prevents someone having their fingers inadvertently jammed as shroud (42) attempts to move to its closed position within lower cavity (38). Microswitch/clutch assembly (128) has microswitches (130a) and (130b) mounted thereto for engagement with switch activation arm (132). Thus, when electric motor (122) is activated through a remotely located manually operated switch (not shown), switch activation arm (132) will rotate with drive shaft (118) on which switch activation arm (132) is rigidly mounted until it strikes either switch (130a) or switch (130b) (depending upon whether shroud (42) is moving from an opened to a closed position or from a closed to an opened position). In either case, upon switch activation arm (132) striking the microswitch, electric motor (122) will be simultaneously deenergized and the direction of the rotational motion of output armature (126) will be reversed, thereby resetting the remotely-located, manually-operated on-off switch for another activation, and allowing the shroud (42) to move in an opposite direction the next time manually-operated remotely-located switch (not shown) is engaged.
The use of kill switches (37) provides for failure of the microswitch assembly to operate properly or for any failure of the system that causes the motors to continue to run after the shroud has completed its travel, the system being overridden by the kill switch (37) allowing the motors may be deenergized by the passenger activating the kill switches (37).
FIGS. 10 and 11 also illustrate clutch assembly (134) which clutchingly engages and disengages drive shaft (118). Clutch assembly (134) of microswitch/clutch assembly (128) is of the friction type and may be purchased through Winfred Berg as Model No. JJ-27.

Turning now to FIGS. 12 and 13, details of cam assisting assembly (86) may be seen. More specifically, FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate how jamb nut (114) retains axle (84) which has axle lever arm (136) rigidly mounted thereto to rotate integral with axle (84) under the impetus of an energized electric motor (122). As can be seen more specifically in FIG. 12, axle lever arm (136) has a removed end having stub (138) on which cam follower (roller) (140) is attached. Cam follower or roller (140) of axle lever arm (136) engages lobed end (142) of cam (144) at the two positions illustrated in FIG. 12, the two positions representing a closed and an opened (dashed lines) position of shroud (42). The angle enclosed between the opened and the closed position of shroud (42) is adjustable by adjusting eccentrically shaped adjustable cam follower stops (146) which are lobed and retained by screws (148) to mounting plate (108).
FIGS. 12 and 13 also provide additional details on the manner in which cam (144) provides positive retainment for shroud (42) in either the opened or the closed position. More specifically, cam (144) has lobed end (142), cam pivot arm (150) and cam body (152). Cam pivot bolt hole (154) is located on the removed end of cam pivot arm (150). Also projecting from cam body (152) is bias means mounting arm (156) with bias means mounting stub (158) and engagement collar (160) projecting vertically therefrom.
Turning now to lobed end (142) of cam body (152), it can be seen in FIG. 14 that lobed end (142) has boss (162) projecting therefrom, boss (162) having first locking lip (164) and second locking lip (166) between which is guide surface (168). Extending distally from boss (162) is lobed end finger (170).
Turning back now to FIG. 12, it can be seen that cam unlock means (172) is generally T-shaped, having cam unlock arm (174) with cam engagement stub (176) thereon. Solenoid engagement arm (178) with solenoid engagement stub (180) thereon extends generally perpendicularly from pivot arm (182) of cam unlock means (172). Details of cam unlock means (172) can be further appreciated with reference to FIG. 15 which further illustrates cam unlock pivot bolt hole (188) which aligns with cam pivot bolt hole (154) when rotatably mounted by pin (190) or other fastener means to mounting plate (108) as seen in FIG. 12. FIG. 15 also illustrates solenoid engagement hole (186) for engagement of solenoid (192) with cam unlock means (172). Finally, it can be seen that cam unlock arm (174) has cam engagement stub (176) mounted thereon, and which has, in turn, engagement collar (184) thereon.
Turning now back to FIG. 12, it is seen how solenoid (192) is mounted to mounting plate (108) by means of solenoid mounting bracket (194). Solenoid (192) has plunger (196) which is engaged and disengaged as solenoid (192) is remotely activated (energized).
With the details of the structure of cam assembly (86) of the present invention clear, its operation may be more apparent. More specifically, with reference to FIG. 12, it can be seen that energization of solenoid (192) along with the retraction of plunger (196) which will accompany such energization, will allow cam unlock means (172) to pivot about pin retained cam unlock pivot bolt hole (188) while cam engagement stub (176) acts to urge body (152) of cam (144) against bias means (198). As can be seen, bias means (198), such as a coil spring, is located fixedly to mounting plate (108) through bias means mounting stub (200) and mounted at a removed end of bias means (198) to bias means mounting stub (202). Stub (202) is integral with bias means mounting arm (156) which normally biases cam (144) in an anticlockwise position as viewed in FIG. 12. Adjustable cam follower stops (146) provide a positive stop (acting through engagement with axle lever arm (136)) limiting cam movement in the anticlockwise direction.
Thus, energization of solenoid (192) will provide for a momentary clockwise rotation of cam lobed end (142) as cam (144) articulates about cam pivot bolt hole (154). Simultaneously with the engagement of solenoid (192) and the release of cam lobed end (142) from a locked position, is energization of electric motor (122) which provides for rotation of axle lever arm (136) between the positions illustrated by solid and dashed lines in FIG. 12. It is to be understood that solenoid (192) need be only momentarily energized as locking lips (164) and (166) need only clear cam follower (roller) (140) after which bias means (198) will urge cam follower (roller) (140) against or towards guide surface (168). Finally, it can be seen that, in case of electrical failure of the solenoid, access port (35) will allow the insertion of a stiff wire or the like therethrough that will engage either cam body (152) or cam unlock arm (174) to physically push cam (144) off cam follower (140) to release shroud (42).
To explain the operation more specifically, let us consider the position of cam assisting assembly (86) as illustrated by the solid lines in FIG. 12. This position represents the closed position of shroud (42). The passenger engages a remotely located switch which, through a control board, simultaneously energizes solenoid (192) and electric motor (122). Solenoid (192) acting through plunger (196), cam unlock means (172), and cam lobed end (142) will release cam follower (140) from its locked position beneath first locking lip (164). Electric motor (122) continues to rotate axle (84) as cam follower (roller) (140) rides above (if solenoid has not deenergized) or along guide surface (168), all the while with bias means (198) urging cam lobed end (142) toward the guide surface (168) and the cam follower (roller) (140). However, when cam follower (roller) (140) clears second locking lip (166) of boss (162), lobed end (142) will rotate anticlockwise under the urging of bias means (198) jamming cam follower (roller) (140) against boss (162) and adjustable cam roller stop (146) (as seen in FIG. 12 as being mounted beneath bias means mounting stub (200) to mounting plate (108)). At this moment, switch activation arm (132) will be engaging either microswitch (130a) or (130b) to disengage electric motor (122).
Thus it can be seen how cam (144) provides for bias means (198) normally positively but releasably retaining axle (84) through axle lever arm (136) in a positively opened or positively closed position by providing boss (162) having first locking lip (164) and second locking lip (166) to prevent the rotation of the axle unless cam unlock means (172) is energized to disengage cam lobed end (142) from axle lever arm (136).
In addition, it can be seen in FIG. 12 how cam assembly (86) provides a means to adjust the angular opening of shroud (42) by using concentrically shaped adjustable cam follower stops (146) (two).
FIG. 16 illustrates, in schematic form, the details of one electronic circuit that will provide for the distribution of electrical energy through the system. This circuit will provide for the proper reversal of direction of the motor drive as required. However, it should be noted that Audio International provides the same function in the electronic filter/relay box, Part No. A1/LCDX.
Thus, the device of the present invention sets forth a wall-forming panel (10) for insertion into the interior of an aircraft, the panel having a frame (12) with an outer surface (14) defining a cavity. A shroud (42) is dimensioned to fit within the cavity (44) and movable on an axle (84) between an opened position and a closed position, the closed position substantially enclosing the shroud (42) within the walls of the frame (12). A latch means (86) positively but releasably retains the shroud (42) in a closed or an opened position. The latch means (86) is comprised of a cam (144) and a cam release mechanism (172). The shroud (42) is dimensioned to receive a monitor (82) such as a small television screen, therein, and is powered by an electric motor drive (122).

um I have no idea what you said. But good luck
So guys ik bymyself i HAVE A BAD GRAPHIC CARD
Have other Gamer computer but virus on it So was wondering any way to get my fps UP!
Couse wen i look down at my feet there isnt any problem But when i look up My FPS GOES DOWN TO 5/20
So any program that can FORCE MY GRAPHIC CARD TO DO MORE FPS
BTW Windows 7 64 bit Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
YES ITS A LAPTOP! I am going to fix my other pc but still wanna know CAN I GET MORE FPS
um I have no idea what you said. But good luck
HD Graphics 3000
... you are not gonna get more than 12 FPS probably at best
nothing can boost bf3 for that gpu enough that can grant you more FPS
buy a REAL computer
I5 atleast
GTX570 will do enough
6gb ram is enough to
rofl thats funny not even possible man need a gaming laptop theres a reason they make them
im playing it on a normal laptop without fps lagg..
jhonwdss 1 Trade, Trusted and nice guy to trade =D , he went first
well going to fix my other pc
You realize that those two cards are equal in performance right? The 570 consumes less power thought.
AMD x3 450
Geforce GT 630 2gb
4gb ram
Plays @ 720p on high at 50-60 fps with dips of 30fps. Pretty smooth and cheap pc here
Well with integrated graphics, the best you can do is change BF3 graphics settings to LOW and turn off all Motion Blur. That should give a decent increase in FPS. Also lower the Resolution to something like 1024 x 768 or even lower. Also disable VSync and Triple Buffering.
or even try open screen adjustment in window and size it super small then alt enter and play with the crappest settings ever
I used to have gtx 480 and intel 2-core processor @ 3.4 ghz, and it ran the game at 50 fps
The trick is to scout google for "performance boost" or "performance booster for games", find whichever suits your system, and you may get 10-20 fps increase sometimes, depends on how littered and capable your machine is
all comes down to the processor aswell

We've all read about how durable Microsoft's new Surface RT tablet with Windows RT is, well what about putting it up to the challenge? Microsoft thought they did that by dropping it on stage at the Surface release event on to a thinly carpeted floor, but a member of WPCentral (berty6294), decided that this wasn't enough – so he decided to have it run over by several cars instead. On the question on which tablet is the toughest, the Apple iPad or Microsoft Surface, through Berty6294's post the Surface win's hands down.
Tag Archives: Microsoft
How To: MicroSD to a Windows RT Music, Picture, or Video Library
So you bought the 32GB Microsoft Surface RT with Windows RT and realized that having only 20GB of usable space or less is not enough for you, so you buy a MicroSD card to try and expand storage capacity. It's a cheaper way to go rather than buying the 64GB version. Then you realize that you can't add any removable drive to the Windows media libraries (music, video, pictures) and so none of the included apps display them in their libraries. Well, here's a work-around to this issue on your tablet:
How To: Enable File & Printer Sharing Windows/Surface RT
There are some features that don't come enabled or Microsoft says isn't possible on a Windows RT or Microsoft Surface RT tablet. You may have already mapped your SkyDrive to a drive letter for your tablet, but now you want to share the files, folders, or printers available on your Windows RT or Surface RT tablet and didn't see an option. Well, luckily you found this work around guide where I show you how to enable file and folder sharing on your Windows RT or Surface RT.
How To: Map Network Skydrive Folder on Windows & Surface RT
With the brand new Surface RT with Microsoft Windows RT installed, there are some limitations that are in place as to what it can or can't do. While the Windows 8 Pro version can do anything you'd do on a desktop (since it's the same OS), as I stated before in my comparison of Windows RT and Pro compatibility, RT can't run programs in desktop mode except Microsoft Office 2013, Paint, Calculator, and the File Browser, and a few others. One of the things not included is having a Microsoft SkyDrive folder/drive in your file browser.
First Impression of Microsoft's Surface RT without Touch Cover
Meet Microsoft's first venture in making computer hardware: Surface RT. This tablet device comes running Windows RT (a version of Windows 8 for ARM Processors, and thus has compatibility differences) and is pre-loaded with Office 2013 Home & Student. This device represents the hard work of two whole new puzzle pieces to create a homogenous device like Apple has always done. For starters, the hardware had to be made from the ground up since this was unfamiliar territory. Second, Microsoft created a whole new OS with Windows 8 and Windows RT that was centered around a touch interface instead of just the traditional mouse and keyboard.
Review of Windows 8 Pro on a Desktop PC
Many are people worried about ease of use for existing desktop platforms, and I've been using the Beta, Release Preview, and Pro versions of Windows 8 for over 5 months now and after the first 3 days of getting used to the Charms bar or swiping from the left side for running apps, it was all muscle memory. After that initial hump, it has been and continues to be an amazing experience. The $40 for the upgrade is well worth it just for the universal search feature (you can even search in an app without going into the app). Then you have the brilliant new file browser and it also graphically shows data transfer rates; you don't even get to see the numerical speeds on OSX! Then you have these rich beautiful apps in the Modern/Metro interface that show you so much information and do everything you want effortlessly and seamlessly.
Surface RT Vs. Pro: Will Your Program or Game Work?
With the coming Launch of Microsoft's Surface RT and future Surface Pro tablet, there's been a lot of confusion about which programs, applications, apps, and games will or won't work on Windows RT. Compatibility is something to seriously consider before making the purchase – as if the switch to Windows 8 won't be enough to think about. This chart helps it break down and give you less to think about when you're about to pull the trigger and buy it.
Microsofts Big Buy-Out Bid for Yahoo
Today, Microsoft's bid to buy out Yahoo was made public at a staggering $44.6 Billion. This bold act is probably being issued to compete against Google in the online advertising business and online technologies. For a long time, Microsoft has been holding itself back in the 90's with its primary focus on actual computer software instead of trying to incorporate where the future of computer technology is actually headed even with the issuance of the Web 2.0 standard. Microsoft's late run-in has led Google to pick up major portions of the market.

UC Irvine Soccer Academy .. much more than just training …
College Opportunities for Student Athletes magazine, since 1991, written with several hundred college coaches, specifically to help subscribers get to college and on the team … often with full scholarships.
Summer camps are, in our opinion, the best way to get to know the college coach you may some day play for. Coaches use camps to train and evaluate future members of their teams. Summer camps provide an ideal environment for both student athlete and coach to thoroughly prepare and improve the quality of the recruiting decision.
For these important reasons we publish our book, The Best Soccer Camps and dedicate the Spring Edition of our magazine, College Opportunities for Student Athletes to detailed reviews of only 100 summer camp operators, nationwide.
UC IRVINE Logo
UC IRVINE Soccer Academy .. much more than just training …
"Each year we have identified several players who have become priority recruits for us during the fall at our Academy"
UCI Soccer Academy at The University of California, Irvine Men's Soccer announces it's summer Boy's Soccer Academy with the coaches and players from the UC Irvine program. The Academy prepares players for the "next level" through demanding technical and tactical sessions while having competitive tournament play in the evenings.
Each year a number of quality players from the entire west region have attended this camp for the pre-college experience of a lifetime! Measure the level of your game with the coaches and players at UC Irvine. College prep with Princeton Review and study skills for the younger players is part of our curriculum. The instruction received at this Academy is an exceptional opportunity to be pushed and have a great time with soccer players that are all working towards the same goals.
UCI Men's Soccer Coach George Kuntz, "Each year we have identified several players who have become priority recruits for us during the fall at our Academy. It has provided an opportunity for players to experience what it is like to be in a college dorm, eating in a cafeteria, and training twice dally in a college setting while playing games and having lectures throughout the week. South Orange County California is the perfect setting to prepare for your season while challenging yourself against the best from Southern California and the west region. After camp is done enjoy some of the best beach areas in the world or see if there is an MLS game 30 minutes from campus!"
We look forward to seeing you on the field at camp or at a tournament this coming year. South Orange County is where you want to be in the summer playing soccer and being challenged at the next level. Best of luck this season in soccer!

Summer Camps: Much More Than Training
Every camp here has been selected in our Best Soccer Camps book. The current edition of our Best Soccer Camps book contains only 100 selected camps from the more than 500 summer soccer camps.
Is this approach working? When have you seen so many camp ads and articles, anywhere, ever? Think about this. We talk to more serious soccer families and more truly dedicated college coaches, in one year, than anyone. And we help readers find the good camps that can affect their college futures, and their lives.
Now, consider what serious players do for top camps. Competitive players make the camp a success, elevate the level of play, and challenge other players. They stimulate the coaching staff. Everyone learns more and has more fun. And sometimes, a player catches the eye of a coach because, "Those campers were working so hard they looked like college players." … the rest … perhaps, is history!
Readers refer to our Student Athlete magazine as the "Consumer Reports" of College-Bound sports. We are proud to have earned your respect. When we compile our Special Campers Issues we invite only camps recommended in our Best Camps book to advertise. We've done our homework. All of these camps are good!
As parents of serious student athletes, we know how expensive, yet important, good camp selection is. Add the camp's cost, airfare, new clothes, new equipment, spending money, telephone, ground transportation and family gifts … a residential camp's cost can total $1000!
What are the alternatives, once you've learned how to how play, for getting noticed by the college coaches?
The three most important things to do, to increase your chances of playing sports in college are:
1. Participate in the ODP
2. Win state cup with your club team
3. Attend camp at the college where you hope to play
Camp selection is the only event YOU can control. By the end of the camp, both you and the coach will know if his college is in your future. If the news is not good, ask him to recommend colleges where you can play, and to use him as a reference.

May 17th, 2005, 12:05 PM #1eBay Editor Kit "undefined" 404s?
I've been seeing a lot of 404 errors in my logs lately, all requesting eBay auction pages with "/undefined" appended to the end of the url. I've looked, and can't see anything on my site that would cause this. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
My eBay activity has dropped recently, and I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. I haven't changed anything on these pages, and the only thing they have in common is the Editor Kit appears on all of them.
May 17th, 2005, 05:52 PM #2
Try analyze 'REFERER' field in requests of your visitors.
Possible someone try use pictures from your site
May 17th, 2005, 07:16 PM #3
I've seen the same "unknown" requests in my logs, but hadn't done more than some preliminary research on it. Mine are on pages that use the Editor Kit, too, although I didn't make that connection until I saw your post.
I haven't noticed any impact on my pages or my eBay activity, so I haven't delved any deeper.
If anyone figures this out, please let the rest of us know.

Sounds like it could be an error in eBay's javascript code they serve off their server (but is embedded in your page).
May 17th, 2005, 08:52 PM #5
I've been seeing the same thing for a few days now and it's only occuring on pages where I have editor kit links...

I don't think it is people trying to use your pictures because I've had people do that, and when the picture is called from website, I get the entire URL to the item listing at eBay.
Usually, when I catch people doing this, I rename the picture at my site, and then replace the old picture with a nice big advertisement for my site. It may be against eBay rules for listers to advertise their sites, but if they're going to steal my pictures, then they can take the heat for the advertising too.

Dabbe: Bir cin vakasi Trailer (2012)
02 August 2012 Horror, Thriller 119 mins
Turkish director Hasan Karacadag is something of an unusual case. In a nation that appears uncertain how to feel about its own history with exploitation film and generally reluctant to embrace genre film - though there are obvious exceptions - Karacadag has jumped headlong into the horror pool. The director first came to attention with the J-horror influenced [email protected], a surprise hit in Turkey that allowed Karacadag to move on to the more visually ambitious - and effects heavy - effort, Semum. Both film showcased Karacadag's growing ability to shock and terrify his audiences by taking the rich folklore of his country and pushing it to its dark extremes. And he's at it again with [email protected]: Bir Cin Vakasi. The sequel to his original hit, this latest efforts puts away the Japanese influence in favor of a more Paranormal vibe, but the underlying mythology remains purely regional with the story following a Turkish family whose home is possessed by angry jinns

Bryn Mawr Bank Corp. will go from one branch to five in the state of Delaware by acquiring MidCoast Community Bancorp Inc. in a transaction valued at $33 million.
The Montgomery County-based bank holding company said Thursday it will acquire the 6-year-old MidCoast, which has about $235 million in loans, $250 million in deposits, and 36 employees.
In this all-stock deal, MidCoast shareholders would receive 0.52 shares of Bryn Mawr Bank common stock for each share of MidCoast they own. Shares of Bryn Mawr Bank were trading at $23.52, up 6 cents, on Thursday afternoon.
Bryn Mawr Bank added its first Delaware branch last November when it bought certain loan and deposit accounts as well as an office along Route 202 in Wilmington from First Bank of Delaware for $10.6 million.
MidCoast's three branches in Wilmington and one in Dover will assume the Bryn Mawr Trust name when the transaction, which still requires regulatory and MidCoast shareholder approvals, closes late in the third quarter.
In a statement, Bryn Mawr Bank said that MidCoast president and chief executive Jim Ladio would lead its Delaware banking operations.
Bryn Mawr Bank currently has 19 full-service branches and seven limited-service offices in retirement communities in Philadelphia's western suburbs. According to its 2012 annual report, it had total deposits of $1.63 billion and total assets of $2.04 billion as of Dec. 31.
The MidCoast merger would be Bryn Mawr Bank's largest retail branch deal since it completed the acquisition of First Keystone Financial Inc. and its eight Delaware County branches in mid-2010 in a transaction valued at $31.3 million.
Since then, Bryn Mawr Bank has concentrated on expanding its wealth management business. It bought the private wealth management group of the Hershey Trust Co. for $18.4 million in May 2011 and Davidson Trust Co. in Devon for $10.5 million in last May. Bryn Mawr Bank nearly doubled its total assets under management over the last two years to $6.67 billion as of Dec. 31.
Half of those assets under management are handled by Bryn Mawr Bank's two Delaware wealth management subsidiaries: the Bryn Mawr Trust Co. of Delaware, Greenville, Del., and Lau Associates L.L.C., an asset manager for high net-worth individuals and families.

Depending on the formal event you are attending, you will never go wrong if you will choose an emerald green dress. Emerald is considered the color of immortality, opulence, nature, life and rebirth. It is definitely a magical and elegant color that can easily complement any skin color. With a dress in emerald green color, you will be able to exude class and self-confidence in order to come up with a memorable style that you can be proud of during any event.
Before wearing this color, though, there are several pointers that you will need to take note of. These tips should be able to help you wear and carry your emerald green dress with utmost confidence, style and even comfort.
Why choose emerald green
A good aspect about emerald green is that it can easily flatter any individual, regardless of the skin tone, eye color, hair color and personal style. As a jewel tone, it looks great if combined in other hues. If you are tired of the usual navy blue dress, it is time to pick an emerald green evening dress for a change.
Dressing in emerald green from head to toe is the best way to stand out from the crowd. An emerald green cocktail dress or emerald green prom dress should be complemented with green accessories such as bright emerald green high heels, classy handbags and sparkling emerald earrings. This overall emerald green ensemble truly flatters red-haired women as well as those with brown hair. As for the blondes, it is best to break the overall green ensemble with neutral shades or black, cream or white in order to produce a stunning contrast with their hair color.
Emerald green and color blocking
Always remember that an emerald green dress will look great in almost any color. Emerald green can be combined with red, purple, and orange in order to create an impressive and elegant look. In most cases, emerald green exudes a certain kind of symbolic glow, providing an aura of purity, freshness and energy to your dress. With all that being said, one can truly appreciate how unique and surprising this color can really be.
All you have to do is to select a dress in the color and complete it with accessories of red accent or opt for the unrivalled combination of gold and emerald green. A good example is a dress that is elegantly styled with a miniature clutch of gold color and a pair of timeless gold strappy sandals. Emerald green can also look great if used with neutral hues such as black, brown, white, beige, camel, grey, nude tones, eclectic blue, burgundy, bright yellow, pastel hues and metallic colors.
Choosing your accessories
Even for simple casual outfits, you can still make use of emerald green accessories. For neutral clothes, you can provide your look with a fresh vibe by using emerald green accessories. A black dress can be completed with emerald earrings and a gold clutch. Depending on the neutral color of your clothing pieces, whether grey, cream, brown or beige, emerald green accessories can provide you with a trendy and classic look.
When to wear emerald green
Always bear in mind that emerald green is a luxurious color, making it the ideal color for formal events. Your emerald green dress will surely stand out among the crowd if completed with accessories of the same color or brightly colored ones. For a classic and elegant aura, you can use gold accessories. Just remember to choose your shoes well, pick something that will not overpower your dress. Go for a classic hairstyle and subtle but elegant makeup will definitely make you the apple of the eye of everyone.

If so, why?
Why do people do this?
Nope. DRL's until my headlights automatically come on.
Right. It takes effort to drive with your parking lights on. There is no point to it. Why do people do it?
No idea, but it irritates me.
Why? Because they are idiots. It is illegal in my state but some morons do it anyway.
I have automatic headlights. No need for me to move a switch.
No clue. I very rarely see it around here, but I have seen it.
No, they are called parking lights, not driving lights.
IF I need lights I turn on real lights.
I had one behind me last night for about 20 minutes
Me too obviously. I don't know why.
The guy last night was a late model pickup, which means he has DRLs and auto headlights so he had to do it on purpose.
I would have flashed my rear fogs at them. That is annoying.
I do, because my car looks totally cool with just the parking lights and LEDs on, and I'm a selfish D-bag...
Only when trick-or-treating.
Ok Funds, thats not nearly as aggravating as those who turn on their hazards during a storm and continue to drive on the highway/interstate... ...VERY SLOWLY!!!!
Posted using Outdoor Hub Campfire
I hear ya. Pull the hell over and put your PARKING LIGHTS ON if you can't manage.
This was in your state BTW.
Do those Audi d-bags with the LED "eyebrows" count? HH
They should
Because there's at least one person who gets wound over insignificant things such as this - I do it just for them.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Ordinarily I admire that in a person.

Maybe it's because I'm a big fan of David Letterman, but I have always found women with a little gap in their teeth adorable. Now that the government has started eradicating Asian schoolgirls in secret desert labs, could Gappies be the next big niche?
I didn't realize I had a quorum of personal Gappy interactions until I looked at this picture of the juicy Kirra Lynne and some loser from the set of Oh No! There'a A Negro in My Daughter 2. That opened up the floodgates.

And here's the wonderful Belladonna. Bella has since had some dental work done and, I have to tell you, it's like an already perfect person getting a boob job. Belladonna will never lose her appeal, though, even as she loses her spinach retention prowess.
An interesting sidebar to this is a term popularized by Ashley Blue, sitting next to Belladonna. That term was "meeth," which is the kind of teeth people tend to rock when they use a lot of meth. No one in this post has meeth.

And did she squirt on my glasses? Yes she did. You can be jealous of that, if you want.

Hear Me Out: Cyndi Lauper, Rihanna
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 5/12/2016 (Issue 2419 - Between The Lines News)
Cyndi Lauper, 'Detour'
Girls just want to have... a country album? If you're Cyndi Lauper and your repertoire is as delightfully ADHD as hers - the American Songbook, pop ear-candy, the blues, a damn musical (she won a Tony for "Kinky Boots") - the next "logical step" is, well, inevitably illogical. But hearing the "Time After Time" singer channel good ol' honky-tonk alongside a melange of veterans isn't so unusual after all; in fact, Lauper sings this collection of country classics as if she never even turned the pop world upside down three decades ago with a string of bubbly hits and timeless power ballads. She did, of course, but on "Detour," she sinks her cowboy boots so far into Nashville soil it's hard to believe this is the same Cyndi whose polished pop songs continue to abide under the disco glow of the gay clubs. Even so, Cyndi's personality and charisma is intact, from the yelpy runs on Guy Mitchell's 1959 No. 1 single "Heartaches by the Numbers" to the husband-and-wife razzing she and Vince Gill partake in on "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly." Lauper's version of Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" is a staggering achievement. Just listen to the way Lauper enters the track, her voice low and husky and, through and through, divine; yes, hand over the Best Female Country Vocal Grammy right now. Skeeter Davis' 1963 hit "End of the World" also gets a lovely Lauper reading. That quiver near the end? Ah, nice touch. Though the singer recently confirmed that she's working on another Broadway musical, let's hope she laces up her cowgirl boots and takes another detour as radical and rich as this. Grade: A-
Rihanna, 'ANTI'
Rihanna can sing. Soar and dip and drop - she's no Adele (because who is?) but when the Barbadian pop princess commits herself, the result is otherworldly. So if creative differences are the reason behind RiRi's decision to split with longtime label Def Jam (she's now with Jay Z's Roc Nation), going in for the vocal kill, as she does on "Love on the Brain," is the best kind of record-label retribution. The swaying slowie is refreshingly not-Rihanna, unless you've envisioned that Ri's time offstage is spent belting Etta James' classics. That's what this soul throwback resembles, after all. Her fluttery voice is dramatic and full, and she slays every syllable, channeling her inner vocal goddess. "ANTI," the "Umbrella" singer's surprise drop, then, resists the Rihanna we knew, the one who wasn't known for the kind of avant-garde, Beyonce-like wildcard that "ANTI" is. Let her pointedly remind you that she, too, can dig deep and pour her innermost feelings all over a solo piano, which she does on "Close to You." Listen as she lashes out at an ex-beau, which she does atop the slinky grind of "Needed Me." Yes, like 2009's head-turner "Rated R," Rihanna excels when she challenges not just herself but those who expect the superficiality of her baity-and-sometimes-bland singles, from "S&M" (bland) to "We Found Love" (not bland). That's not to say that now, eight albums in, Rihanna is getting everything right (that grating Drake collaboration, "Work," is a bust), but her persona-altering diversions are less eager to please and more eager to be everything you thought she couldn't be. Grade: B
Also Out
Margo Price, 'Midwest Farmer's Daughter'
Rural flavor meets Southern sizzle - and, naturally, the dive bar down the street - on Margo Price's superbly drawn "Midwest Farmer's Daughter." The Nashville singer-songwriter is heated during the jukebox jam "Since You Put Me Down," directing her drinking problem - and a prayer that requests her "voice haunt you above the ground" - at a cheat. A compliment to both Price and her throwback style, the cheeky song could be mistaken for a Tammy Wynette cover. Heck, the entirety of "Midwest Farmer's Daughter," with its hard-won narratives and vintage production, and all the way through the mellifluous coda "World's Greatest Loser," is a classic country stunner.
Lukas Graham, 'Lukas Graham'
At 11, Danish child actor-turned-pop star Lukas Graham Forchhammer was "smoking herb" and heeding to his father's advice to "go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely" because he didn't know the difference. He distills that truth into "7 Years," his personal verity and the launch track for his band's respectable debut. Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, Five for Fighting - the comparisons are apparent. From the rollicky "Annie"-sampled "Mama Said" to the pained "Happy Home" and the churchy campfire sing-along "Funeral," this is old-soul folk-pop designed for maximum cross-generational appeal.Chris Azzopardi is the editor of Q Syndicate, the international LGBT wire service.

|Cargo is the seventh in a series of inspired collaborations between two of South Africa's most exciting movement theatre companies, Jazzart Dance Theatre and Magnet Theatre. It uses performance to re-imagine the archive of slavery in the Cape, bringing it to the attention of a wider audience while linking the past to our present reality.
Both companies are renowned for their powerful, poignant work and ability to destroy clichés and social stereotypes through the language of physical movement and expression.
"The Jazzart/Magnet Theatre alliance has been responsible for some of the best movement theatre this country has ever seen."

Man United, Arsenal and West Ham eye £5m-rated Euro 2016 star
The 21-year-old – who is nicknamed Dudinho – was one of the Slovak stars who helped ruin England's Euro 2016 by forcing a 0-0 draw with the Three Lions in Nice.
He scored their goal against Wales in a 2-1 defeat.
And now Polish club Legia Warsaw are ready to let him go to the Premier League if their valuation is met.

Are eight wins enough at Mississippi State?
Obviously not, because it's hard to find anyone in the Land of Cowbells who feels especially good right now about Mississippi State's 8-5 finish this season.
That includes coach Dan Mullen, who despite what anybody says, has done a solid job with that program when you consider what had transpired in Starkville prior to his arrival. The Bulldogs, ravaged by NCAA sanctions, managed just one winning season from 2001-08.
Mullen, after taking over in 2009, has guided the Bulldogs to three straight winning seasons.
But that seems like a hollow accomplishment given the way it all unraveled at the end of this season. After starting out 7-0 and climbing to No. 11 in the BCS standings, Mississippi State lost five of its last six games, a collapse that was punctuated by a 34-20 loss to Northwestern on Tuesday in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl.
Mullen didn't hold back when asked how disappointing it was to lose five of the last six games.
"Excuse my language, but it sucks," Mullen said. "Nobody likes to lose. Our kids put in … everybody puts in a lot of work to win football games. It was great to win a lot early. It sucks to lose late, to be honest with you."
Trying to find a silver lining, Mullen pointed out that eight-win seasons were starting to become disappointing at Mississippi State, and he added, "That is the direction you want the program headed in."
He's right in theory, but a closer look at who the Bulldogs have beaten and who they haven't beaten during Mullen's tenure paints a very different picture.
Mullen is now 7-21 at Mississippi State against teams that finished the season with a winning record. It will be 7-22 if Ole Miss wins its bowl game.
The Bulldogs haven't beaten an SEC team that finished the season with a winning record since their 10-7 win at Florida in 2010. They've now lost 11 straight games to nationally ranked opponents and are just 2-17 against ranked foes under Mullen.
In their four losses to ranked teams this season, they were outscored 147-57 and gave up 34 or more points in all four games.
It's probably telling that Mullen switched it up and had co-defensive coordinator Geoff Collins call the plays in the bowl game. Changes are almost certainly coming. The Bulldogs were already looking for a cornerbacks coach after losing Melvin Smith to Auburn.
It's also hard to feel good about what the offense did in the final part of the season. Quarterback Tyler Russell threw four interceptions against the Wildcats. One was returned 29 yards for a touchdown to open the game. Another set up the clinching touchdown after Nick VanHoose returned Russell's final pick 39 yards to the Mississippi State 5.
In the end, this will be a season that's remembered more for how soft the Bulldogs' schedule was to start the season than how well they performed on the field.
That doesn't diminish the gains the program has made under Mullen, and it doesn't mean that Mississippi State is finished climbing.
What it does mean is that eight wins aren't enough, particularly when the seven wins against FBS competition come against teams that finished the season with a combined 29-56 record.

I am in urgent need of some good advice. I live in London and have 2 apartments in the centre of Madrid with large outstanding mortgages on which I have managed to pay interest only and avoid paying the capital for several years. Initially these properties seemed a good investment and the idea was to sell them on after about 3-5 years. But then came the collapse of the Spanish economy and with it the collapse of the Madrid property market. They have now dropped heavily in value and both have plunged heavily into negative equity.
Although both apartments are rented out from time to time as holiday lets, the income in no way covers the outgoings not even the interest only mortgage repayments. The bank now wants me to either start paying the capital (which would mean huge monthly payments) or sell both apartments at a loss. However if I sell I won't be able to afford to pay the remaining shortfall of mortgage debt.
I really don't want to keep either property nor their contents (they are fully furnished and equipped to a high standard). I would rather just give the bank the keys back and walk away. However I am really scared they will pursue me in the UK and that I would lose my home in London or worse.

Ashley Schafer had her "faith in humanity" restored when Benjamin Houston arrived at her doorstep in Flint, Michigan with her order from Domino's Pizza in hand.
This wasn't just your run-of-the-mill delivery, though. Schafer's pizza had not arrived even an hour after placing the order. She was about to call her Domino's and "have a fit" when she heard a knock on the door. A Domino's manager was at her step, saying she was concerned because Houston's car broke down, and he was worried, because Houston happens to be deaf.
Houston waited in his car for a while, but decided to complete his deliveries on foot. He said, "I don't like sitting in a car doing nothing for so long. Even though the area where I live is not safe for people to walk, especially a deaf person." More than two hours later, Houston arrived at her house, pizzas in hand. It meant the world to her that Houston completed his deliveries, despite the notable lack of car.
To show her appreciation, Schafer created a GoFundMe page in order to help grow the funds for Houston to fix his car.
It seems the two have remained close, as well. Houston said he'd make the delivery all over again, and called Schafer a "blessing" for all she's done for him.
