James Lawton: Old Trafford humiliation hurts but reality cuts deeper into Wenger's belief
In the hard-nosed world of American gridiron, they call what Manchester United did to Arsenal here yesterday afternoon running up the score.
It is not a term of admiration for outstanding, even brilliant performance. Indeed, the opposite is true. It is what they say of examples of mean-spirited exploitation of plainly out-gunned opponents. Running up the score is the equivalent of bar-room boasting. Unfortunately, yesterday, United were not given a whole lot of alternatives.
Wayne Rooney thundered in his free-kicks. Ashley Young ran with the continued freedom of someone who has arrived in a situation which plainly suits perfectly his belief that he is at the point of his career where he can achieve just about anything he wants – though the goals that came to him quite exquisitely yesterday are not often going to come quite so easily.
United went to the top of the league with eight goals that gave them, for the moment at least, a small edge over the equally destructive Manchester City. But the real significance of the achievement they shared with their neighbours was to produce the most sweeping evidence that they have come to a new season in impressive fighting order. They looked abundantly equipped for the job. Arsenal looked precisely the opposite. They were the shell of a football team, a remnant of old glory.
And then United started to score goals as if it was the easiest thing in the world. Rooney lined up the Arsenal goal as if he was in charge of an artillery unit. Young's running was filled with optimism. Before he pulled a hamstring, Danny Welbeck was promising some more of the rampage that has carried him into the regard of England coach Fabio Capello. Even Nani hinted that he was about to settle down to some seriously controlled aggression.
It was at this point that you wondered if Arsène Wenger needed to draw from his fragile reserves on the bench – or maybe send up a flare signalling his distress.
Arsenal may have been afflicted by freakish assaults on first-team strength – quite apart from the permanent loss of their two best players – but there is a reality here that dwarfs more or less any circumstances, however unfortunate.
In case we are tempted to forget, we are not talking about any old bodged-up, dysfunctional football club falling on hard times or paying a fleeting visit to the big time. We are discussing The Arsenal – Arsène Wenger's Arsenal.
Maybe matters will improve when Gervinho and Emmanuel Frimpong and Alex Song get back from suspension and Jack Wilshere is fit again to supply a hint of the maturity and the hope that he began to represent so strikingly last season but, in the meantime, Arsenal are obliged to absorb the meaning of what happened to them here yesterday afternoon.
It wasn't so much a defeat, lopsided and embarrassingly wretched, but an exposure, a horrible episode of humiliation which just happened to coincide with the fact that, after three games of the new Premier League season, they find themselves rooted in the bottom four.
This may prove soon enough to be an artificially low position, certainly if some of the composure that brought a Champions League qualifying-round victory at Udinese can be found amid the rubble of this at times savagely but, in all honesty, more often nonchalantly imposed slaughter, yet really, how many places down the rung are we considering? Ten maybe, a dozen perhaps?
The question is academic – unlike the one that all of football is now bound to ask. This one is about whether the place so long occupied, and with such panache and self-confidence, by the teams created by Wenger can ever be truly reclaimed.
Wenger walked away from the scene of his team's destruction with his head held high and maybe it is true that few football men are entitled to adopt such a posture. However, there was an impossible question to answer as he retreated from view.
How deeply did the wounds of this day cut into his belief that he will sooner than later have Arsenal moving smoothly back into their old rhythm, their old assumption that when the big football issues are settled they will inevitably have something of a say?
That day could hardly seem more remote as United took their goals, their easy rewards for playing merely well against opponents who had come here stripped of fight and of nous and apparently possessing few certainties about the future – and maybe not just the one stretching across a late summer's afternoon.
Late summer, did we say? If you cared for the meaning of Arsène Wenger's Arsenal, if you wondered if they would ever again display the old swagger and joy, the cold went a lot deeper than that.

Unanswered: Help with sql statment please
I have two tables in the same database. One is a table containing info about current invoices, and the other has info about past invoices. All info in the second table relates to invoices that have been paid. the info in the first table relates to invoices that may have been completely paid, may have a partial payment, or may not have had a payment at all. Both tables have an invoice_date column and a date_paid column whether the invoice has been paid or not (it's = to the invoice date if no payments have been received)
I'd like a sql statement that will give me the average days to pay the invoice, grouped by customer.
So far, I can almost get this by using three seperate sql statments that do the following...
subtract the days(invoice_date) from the days(date_paid) on paid invoices (in table 2)
subtract the days(invoice_date) from the days(date_paid) on paid invoices (in table 1)
subtract the days(invoice_date) from the days(current_date) on unpaid invoices (in table 1)
The problem with 3 seperate sql statmenets is that I am unable to sort the results.
Can anyone offer some help with the sql statement needed?

I would probably try to do a UNION ALL with a separate query on each table (basically the same query). But it is hard to say exactly without seeing your DDL.M. A. Feldman

Anyhow, with the information currently available from OP, (and using my guess) I want to try like this:
(I assumed that date_paid IS NULL if not paid.)
SELECT customer_id AS customer , AVG(CAST(days(COALESCE(date_paid, current_date)) - days(invoice_date) AS DEC(7,2) ) ) AS "avg. days to pay the invoice" FROM (SELECT customer_id , invoice_date , date_paid FROM current_invoice UNION ALL SELECT customer_id , invoice_date , date_paid FROM past_invoice ) Q GROUP BY customer_id ;
SELECT COALESCE(ci.customer_id, pi.customer_id) AS customer , AVG(CAST(days(COALESCE(ci.date_paid, pi.date_paid, current_date)) - days(COALESCE(ci.invoice_date, pi.invoice_date)) AS DEC(7,2) ) ) AS "avg. days to pay the invoice" FROM current_invoice ci FULL OUTER JOIN past_invoice pi ON ci.customer_id = pi.customer_id AND ci.invoice_id = pi.invoice_id GROUP BY COALESCE(ci.customer_id, pi.customer_id) ;

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..
When I was hurt in that car accident my life would be changed forever. Unfortunately that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.
This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.
How rotten was it? I has bedridden for 4 months, I had to have constant care and my hospital bills went through the roof!
Gratefully, I found a good referral site to help me.
I will post more later this year to tell you more about what I have been going through.

IAB Report – Honda Mobilio coming to India next fiscal, petrol City sales open next month
I'm the Founder & CEO of IndianAutosBlog.com. I love teamwork and talking about cars.
At the launch of the Honda City in Chennai, we spoke to Mr. Shigeru Yamazaki, senior VP of marketing and sales at Honda India about the new Hondas.
What is the petrol vs diesel split for the new City for initial bookings?
70 percent of the bookings are for the diesel model out of 9,931 bookings as of 9th January 2013.
Why is there a delay in launching the petrol version (petrol version will only be available from second half of next month)?
As this is a new car, we are now in the ramp up period. It will take us some time for diesel and petrol to be made simultaneously. We decided to introduce the diesel first because many City customers asked for diesel. But the gap is just one month.
Can the Brio platform be used to make an SUV?
Practically it is possible, but we need to use bigger tires, so its a challenge for the engineers.
What about the new Accord for India? Will there be an Accord Hybrid?
We are considering the Accord for India, but we have not finalized plans. We have not finalized any specifications.
When will the Mobilio come to India?
It will be launched in the next fiscal year.

Evaluate Your Mutual Fund and Insurance
Consultant In 3 Easy Steps
Mutual fund and insurance is a field that is completely different from others. The consultants that
you choose for these fields should be well versed with all the clauses, terms and conditions and
should be able to guide you during an emergency. These consultants serve you for different
purposes related to mutual fund and insurance. The first and the foremost thing to keep in mind
before choosing a consultant are to do a proper research. Read about the company that he is a
part of, check his track record. Try to avoid those consultants who talk vaguely and give
unnecessary and irrelevant options.
Here are three steps to vet your Mutual Fund and Insurance consultant
1. Find out the qualifications of your consultant: An advisor can opt to focus on different
topics. Some of them are chartered retirement planning counselor, some are specialized and some
have a more generic focal point like a certified financial planner. The alphabet soup around a
person's name is confirmation for the focus and effort applied to a single specific area.
It is important to know that there are many options out there, and a number of them don't need a
lot of labor to attain. For instance, a qualified management specialist for assets may sound too
superior, but in reality, they require only 28 hours of syllabus that can be well-read with the help
of a self-study program. Once the consultant is geared up to move forward, then he can complete
a test and employ the designation if he meets supplementary requirements.
There is nothing wrong in this designation. However, if this is the only qualification a Mutual
Fund and Insurance consultant has then you cannot trust them for your financial needs.
are even more challenging and need greater efforts to achieve. The consultant
Other positions
should not only have an experience of three years or a Bachelor's degree but they should also pass
a test of 170 questions. The various number of topics and lengthy prerequisites of the CFP exam
examine that the certified insurance consultant who has applied has done a major amount of work
As a customer, you must understand what allows your consultant to give advices and how many
stairs did they climb to reach this level.
2. Find out which security licenses your consultant holds. FIRA or the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority writes and enforces rules to financial firms and brokers. Any certified
insurance consultant licensed to deal financial advice should be registered with FIRA.
3. Talk about how your consultant is paid.How good or bad the advisor is paid is not for you to
doubt his abilities and quality of work but if you know how someone is paid then you get a better
chance to understand that person's motivations. The biggest dissimilarity between commission-
based and fee-based compensation is the consultant's responsibility towards his client.
So, after going through this list you now know that you're Mutual Fund and Insurance consultant
should be a certified insurance consultant. Happy hunting!

This is the article that I wish I had read as a teenager. It goes out to all the teenage girls (or boys) who are confused about their weight and body image. I know I sure was.
When you're growing up, you don't really think about how food is affecting your body. In fact, as a child your parents seemed happy when you finished your food so you just kept on eating.
Then, one day, you hit puberty and your body starts to go all funny on you. You feel awkward and strange in a grown-up body. You notice you're developing a belly and fat in places you never had before.
Your mother tells you it's baby fat, but that's not what you see in the mirror. You look around in magazines; no one looks like you. Then, your friends start talking about losing weight and how 'she looks great cuz she's thin'.
And it hits you: you need to lose weight.
But how do you do it?
I remember very clearly the summer I decided to lose weight. I was about 18 or 19 years old. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I decided to try.
I thought 'the less I eat, the less I'll weigh'. That made perfect sense. So I started skipping dinner. I felt lighter in the morning. That must mean it's working! If I skip breakfast as well, maybe I'll lose more….
And that continued for a few weeks until I was having only one meal a day. And even that meal eventually became a salad. And I started to lose weight.
Hunger became my friend. It gave me a certain buzz.
But I also started getting 'hunger headaches'. My sleep became very light and disrupted. My face was dry and pale. My digestion was funny and constipated…
But I didn't care, as long as I was losing weight.
I started buying smaller and smaller sizes. People were commenting on how I lost weight. They were all asking me how I did it! They all wanted to do it too but didn't know how.
Over time, I found it harder and harder to eat. The thought of having a big meal was repulsive. I was wondering how I used to eat so much.
My day became a constant struggle between hunger and the desire to stay thin. Part of me was dying to eat everything on the dinner table, and another part of me was disgusted and could not pick up the fork. I was afraid that eating freely would make me gain weight again. And when people asked me why I wasn't eating, I would give them the usual 'I already ate' or 'I'll eat later' excuse.
What was I doing? I was trying so hard to lose weight and it seemed to be getting out of hand.
About six months and many kilograms later, my obsession faded. I slowly I found myself eating normally again.
My weight stabilised and I was able to look back and see what it was. I was on the verge of an eating disorder.
What are eating disorders?
An eating disorder usually occurs when there is a distorted body image. When, in the mirror, you see a much fatter version of yourself and there is a strong desire to lose weight. It is most common in teenage girls, but it could happen at any age and it's becoming more common amongst boys too.
If you have an eating disorder, you would always be trying to find ways to lose weight. Some people become anorexics, which means they gradually stop eating until they lose so much weight that it becomes a threat to their life. Others become bulimics, where they have episodes of binge eating followed by voluntary vomiting. Some may even become a combination of both or develop other forms of eating disorders such as bingeing, exercising obsessively or even staying strictly on a specific diet for a prolonged period of time.
Out of control
There are various possible reasons for an eating disorder. A lot of teenagers develop an eating disorder in their efforts to control their body and their surroundings. The teenage years are very unpredictable; you're going through a lot of changes physically and mentally (and in the environment around you – school, parents, etc.) and somewhere along the way you try to exert control over what you can.
Controlling your food intake becomes a way of controlling your body (and your life). For many, that is done on a subconscious level. To me, that would explain the trend I see in eating disorders among perfectionists. There is a need for control.
Other reasons could be peer pressure, a need to fit in, the media, social standards for thinness, etc.
I once overheard a conversation between a group of teenage girls who were sitting close by. One of them was holding a small water bottle in her hand and proudly said, "This is all I've had today" pointing at the bottle.
The girls around her all seemed to think that it was a great thing. They talked about how they're limiting their food intake as well and 'barely eating'.
Although I was much older at that time, that conversation still had an effect on me. It took me right back in time. It made me realise just how common eating disorders are. It made me want to do something to help.
Talking to teenagers
When I lecture teenagers, I see myself in them. I understand where they are and how confusing things can be.
From talking to many teenagers over the past few years, I can easily tell you that this generation is just as confused as we were.
You would think that with the internet and the availability of information, teenagers would be more informed, but they're not. In fact, they might be even more confused because of the sheer load of information and messages they are now getting.
ALL the teenagers that I have spoken to are concerned about their weight, with very few exceptions. They either want to lose weight, gain weight, bulk up, trim down, burn fat… you name it.
Whatever term they give it, the point is they want to somehow alter the way they currently look. And they want to do it quickly!
Getting sound information is hard
Most of them don't know where to go for sound information. Schools are busy with academics. And parents are busy making sure their kids are excelling in school and staying out of trouble.
But teenagers need to understand how to handle a growing body. They need to know that their diet affects them on a daily basis.
Junk food, red bull, and chocolates are not what you need to achieve optimum health. Starving and skipping meals is not what will help you lose weight. Slimfast is not a good idea before the next party. Smoking will not help you lose weight. And liposuction is not something to consider!
If you are a teenager reading this, remember that it's normal to be confused. I suggest you ask for help from an adult that you trust. Try to get accurate information about what works best for you. Do not get pressured by your peers or society. At the end of the day, your body has its own individual uniquness and you have to give it a chance to grow into the best that it can be.
If you are a parent reading this, I strongly suggest you have a conversation about weight and body image with your teenagers. Try to get into their mind-set; see the world from their point-of-view, no matter how different it may be from yours. How do they feel about their body? What are they doing about it? What messages are they getting from their peers and the media? What messages are they getting from you? Is there a book they can read or a course they can join to help them stay at a healthy body weight? Find out and help because they need you.

It's like I was using a commercial or paid script, it worked perfectly for me, just uploaded all the files into my shared hosting space and started uploading the files. Great tool, suggesting !
This script is quick and easy to configure and really requires no configuration at all. Simply load into any directory. Navigate to that directory, log in using your FTP usr/pwd, and you're in. This would be good if you were to have non-web savvy clients log in with their own FTP account and have access to those permissions. Otherwise, FTP is easier.

Picture: A page from the last song notebook of Jim Morrison (The Doors), together with the final photograph of him, at the Rock 'N' Roll celebrity...
Jim Morrison's former bandmates set a rose and a poem on fire at his grave in Paris, France, today (08DEC03) as a tribute to the late rocker on what would have been his 60th birthday.
Dozens of fans also visited the site, many of whom stood behind police barriers holding white candles in honour of the LIGHT MY FIRE singer and former frontman of The Doors.
Morrison's tomb was covered with votive candles, flowers, beer cans, photos and a Happy Birthday banner.
Robby Krieger, the band's former guitarist, told fans, "We're trying to evoke the spirit of Jim."
The band's keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, believes that had the hard-living singer survived to turn 60, he would have been "happy, laughing, joking".
Krieger and Manzarek were in Paris for concerts with their new band THE DOORS 21ST CENTURY.
John Densmore, drummer for The Doors, did not attend. He filed a lawsuit against Manzarek and Krieger in February (03) for breach of contract for touring without him under the name The Doors 21st Century. His request for a temporary restraining order was denied in May (03).
Another lawsuit was filed by Morrison's parents and in-laws in May, accusing Manzarek and Krieger of tarnishing the group's reputation by continuing to make new music and tour.
Morrison was found dead of heart failure in the bathtub of his Paris apartment on 3 July, 1971, at the age of 27.08/12/2003 21:16

One of the letters written to my mother in 1945 says: "Poker may not be your strong point, but then I don't think that Michigan Rummy is either." Not a very cut-throat gambling game, but lots of fun and not demanding, either.
Mom and Dad taught us Michigan Rummy as we grew up and it was a favorite rainy-day family activity, using pennies for the jackpot and pot for each "money card" we hoped we could play from our hands. We had an official set with a tray to hold the pennies for each pot and money card, so we needed only a deck of cards and we were ready to play.
Today the Gorgeous Game Girls in my town play Michigan Rummy when we want to laugh and talk. No official set, just little bowls to hold the piles of pennies for each money card (especially the 9 and 10 of spades). The money cards we use differ from the Pressman Toy and Brikker & Brett versions, however. There was no real rummy angle to this game when I played as a child, and we don't play it as "rummy" today either.

18th Chapter of Holy Gita, Sloka 10: All works or jobs are divine and you can meet God through them!
na dveshtyakushalam karma kushale naanushajjate |
tyaagee sattvasamaavishto medhaavee chinnasamshayaha | 10 |
He who never hates any work and is neither attached to some work only, functions from goodness or intelligence and has no doubts what so ever.
Work is Divine and doing only what you "love" or like is not intelligence.
If you are attached to some work only, then you will suffer!
If you are attached to the post of manager, then you will suffer when you loose it.
Be attached to action and not to the Job.
The other day in a hotel I was staying the lobby was being cleaned by a young boy(he is supposed to be studying but poverty had made him to work at his teenage). As I walked in after a morning walk, the dust from my shoes created some marks on the clean floor.
Seeing it and seeing the mob nearby, I took the mob and cleaned it!
The boy seeing me do this, ran to me and requested the mob……
So, work is work! There is nothing small or big about it.
The PM of a country also does work and so does the girl who sells
flowers in the street corner.
Enjoy your work! This is Karma Yoga and you will have the opportunity to meet and be with "THEE".
Work is divine!
Hare Krishna!


text: Posted October 31, 2012 · Report post I switched shampoos about a month ago, I'm guessing something in it has bothered my skin because I started breaking out at the top of my arms in the same spot (I have long hair that touches there) and hadn't been breaking out on my body in a long time. Can someone recommend a shampoo that would be the least irritating to skin? I was thinking of switching to a shampoo with zinc in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The invention relates to synchronisers and more specifically to a video control arrangement for synchronisers.
Framestore synchronisers (e.g. Quantel DFS 3000) are now well known in various parts of the television world for example North America and Europe (see also for example British patent application Ser. No. 6588/76 or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 769,615, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,101,939).
In the DFS 3000, the synchroniser has the facility of picture freeze within the frame store (see also for example British patent application Ser. No. 6585/76 or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 764,148). The facility of frame compression to produce quarter size pictures is provided (see also for example British patent application Ser. No. 21024/76 or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 798,513, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,152,799). Movement of the compressed picture may be effected by means of a joystick control.
An object of the invention is to provide additional control facilities for the synchroniser which may be provided at a position remote from the synchroniser.
According to the invention there is provided a video control arrangement for a synchroniser comprising; positioning means for moving the position of a T.V. picture in at least one plane to a first selected position; memory means for receiving and holding information on the location of said first preselected position and for recalling the location of this preselected position.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows the known synchroniser to which the control arrangement of the invention can be attached;
FIG. 2 shows typical manual controls of the unit;
FIG. 3 shows one arrangement for presetting and recalling the image position in the control arrangement of the invention;
FIG. 4 shows the joystick, undate interval and transition time controls; and
FIG. 5 shows an arrangement including a microprocessor for realising the functions of the FIG. 2 arrangement.
The arrangement for the known DFS 3000 synchroniser is shown in FIG. 1. A video input is received by processing amplifier 10 which feeds sync separator 11 controlling a write clock generator 12. The clock generator output is received by an analogue to digital converter (ADC) 13 which converts the video signal to digital form prior to storage in a frame store 14. The write clock generator 12 also has an output received by a store control 15 which controls the operation sequence of the store 14. The store output is received by digital to analogue converter 16 which is under the control of clocks from read clock generator 17 receiving sync pulses from sync pulse generator 18. The analogue output of converter 16 is received by output processor 19 which provides the composite video output of the synchroniser. The sync pulse generator 18 is controlled by means of externally generated sub carrier and sync inputs directly or via an output sync separator 20 which receives a composite video signal.
The store control of the synchroniser has the facility of freezing the picture within the frame store (see also for example British patent application Ser. No. 6585/76 or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 764,148). The synchroniser has the facility of frame compression by only storing selected picture point samples so that if every other picture point is not stored (in both horizontal and vertical directions) a quarter sized picture is produced (see also for example British patent application Ser. No. 21024/76 or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 795,513). The frame compressor 23 allows this compressed picture to be stored in any one of four quadrants by means of selectors 24-27 which control the picture point counter addresses. In addition a joystick control 28 is provided which allows the quarter size picture to be moved anywhere within the normal picture frame area by defining the pertinent varying address as the stick is moved.
The remote control arrangement 30 of the invention is connectable to the store control of the known synchroniser to provide the standard functions just described together with additional functions at a position remote from the synchroniser (e.g. in the studio mixer) by a distance of up to several hundred feet if required.
A typical layout for the manual controls of unit 30 is shown if FIG. 2.
A frame freeze button 31 is provided for freezing captions. A field freeze button 32 is provided for stopping fast moving objects on the picture. In addition an update control 34 is provided which allows a variable update interval to be selected by the producer to automatically update the frozen picture between a rate of say once per second to infinity (i.e. hold).
Five preselect buttons 33 are provided for the compressed picture position. These buttons not only select the compressed function when depressed but also have the capability to memorize positions previously chosen at the beginning of the T.V. programme so that these can be recalled by the producer when required and thus allow rehearsal of a programme prior to transmission in the confidence that when he moves from event to event on air the chosen sequence will be faithfully reproduced. The chosen position is recalled merely by pressing the appropriate button and the cancellation of this effect to normal size and position is effected by depressing the appropriate button once again.
The memory facility is actuated during rehearsal in conjunction with `live` button 36 and joystick positioner 37. The picture position is determined by varying the joystick 37 with live button 36 depressed. If one of the preselect buttons 33 is also depressed the position of the joystick is remembered for recall later.
It is also possible to move and memorise a full frame of video by means of joystick 37 by depressing live button 38 and one of the five preset buttons 35 in a similar way to compressed frame. By only depressing the live button 36 or 38 it is possible to rely only on live position control without using the preselect facilities of buttons 33 and 35. Two buttons 40 and 41 are provided to switch off respectively the X and Y axes of the joystick to allow a smooth live single dimentional pan or tilt.
A transition time control 42 is provided to allow the producer to select the rate of pan or tilt from one preselected position to another. The rate can be varied typically from instantaneous to a time of several seconds. Alternatively the rate of velocity may be varied.
An auto key button 45 is also provided. The auto key facility is provided to make life easier for the camera man. The control is able to measure the centre of the chroma key area when the chroma key signal is fed into the synchroniser and computes the appropriate position for the compressed image to be centred over the key signal so that if the camera pans the compressed image automatically follows. Thus auto key is used where a chroma key signal is being fed to the synchroniser and the producer has approximately centred a compressed picture over the key area using one of the five preselector buttons. Pressing the auto key button 45 will ensure that the compressed image is automatically centred over the key area even if this key area should move. The various buttons described above may incorporate a lamp to clearly indicate that a button is depressed.
A circuit arrangement suitable for the compressed picture position presetting of FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 3.
The position data from joystick control 37 can be passed via live switch 36 directly to the synchroniser so that the joystick operates in the known live mode. If however the preset switch 33 is closed, the position data is fed into a memory 50 where it is stored. When the position data is recalled this is passed to the synchroniser to cause movement to this position to be implemented. Enter and recall for the memory can be arranged to be actuated respectively with the preset switch 33. The memory may be analogue or digital depending on the type of output provided by the joystick and the synchroniser input. To provide the requirements of the FIG. 2 arrangement five such switches 33 and memories 50 would be required for the compressed picture position and five similar arrangements for the full frame position.
Although such a system can be constructed solely from known hardware elements it is more convenient to use a microprocessor system with related circuitry to effect the above arrangements and such a system will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.
FIG. 4 shows analogue arrangements for the joystick, update intervals and transition time controls.
Joystick control 37 comprises two variable resistors one for vertical and horizontal position respectively. Update interval control 34 comprises one variable resistor which controls a simple timing circuit (not shown) that operates on the freeze lines. The transition time or velocity control 42 also comprises a variable resistor and this operates a simple ramp circuit (not shown) that constrains the rate at which the voltage that controls the position is allowed to change from one location to another. The controls receive a voltage from a precision analogue supply 52 which may be in the control unit or taken from the synchroniser.
The use of a microprocessor system to effect the above control functions is shown in FIG. 5. The heart of the system is a microprocessor unit (MPU) 60 (e.g. Motorola 6800). A random access memory (RAM) 62 (e.g. Motorola 6810) is connected to the MPU which acts as working space for the programme, which processor programme is contained in read only memory (ROM) 63 (e.g. Motorola 6830). The memories are connected to the MPU by common address bus 64 and common data bus 65. The various switches 31, 32, 45, 33, 36, 35, 38 (and their associated lamps) are connected to I/O circuits 68,69 (peripheral interface adaptors e.g. type 6820). These interface adaptors are connected to the MPU via common buses 64,65. An additional adaptor 72 is provided together with line drivers 73 and line receivers 74 to provide the necessary digital interfacing to and from the synchroniser.
The analog controls of FIG. 4 are now included in FIG. 5 and are connected to the microprocessor system via a multiplexer 75 and an analogue to digital converter (ADC) 76 which converts the analogue signal to digital form to allow purely digital interfacing to and from the synchroniser of all required functions.
The programming of microprocessors is well known and so will not be described in detail.
The microprocessor programme is written in such a way that the pushing of the relevent selector button and moving the joystick effects memorising of that location for the compressed or full frame picture to allow the picture to move from one position to another at a rate chosen by the variable transition control.
Another advantage of the microprocessor system is that the programme can be written in such a manner that non-linear movement of the picture from one stored location to another is possible. In this way picture movement similar to that achieved by the camera man when having to accelerate and decelerate the mass of his camera can be obtained thereby creating greater realism.
The variable transition control is achieved by causing the programme to incrementally count from one location to another. Clearly if this count is fed as the address of the picture to the synchroniser, smooth movement between, instead of an instantanious jump from one location to another, is obtained. The concept of non-linear movement can be realised by producing a non-linear transfer function in the programme space so that linear vectors demanded by the main programme are `bent` to move slower at the start and finish of the process.

The cabinet
on Monday approved a proposal for promulgating an ordinance amending the
updated Representation of the People Order to give political parties six more
months to submit their ratified constitutions to the Election Commission.
The weekly
cabinet meeting, held at the Cabinet Division with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
in the chair, gave the approval following an appeal by the Election Commission
as many political parties missed the July 24 deadline.
Meeting sources
said that the commission sought one year extension of the deadline.
According to the new RPO, as amended by the parliament recently, the date for submitting the ratified party constitutions expired on July 24.
The six-month extension would be counted from July 25.
The amended
RPO requires political parties to submit their constitutions ratified in
council sessions within six months form the date of the first sitting of the
ninth parliament. The first session of the parliament began on January 25.
Ten political parties, including the main opposition BNP, out of 39 registered parties applied to the EC seeking extension of the deadline. The ruling Awami League and its ally Jatiya Party earlier submitted their constitutions to the EC by the deadline, after holding their councils on July 24.

Liberal actress Susan Sarandon said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is "more dangerous" than Republican candidate Donald Trump when it comes to foreign policy.
Sarandon, who supports Sen. Bernie Sanders, was asked about Clinton's claim that Trump would be "dangerous" in the White House.
"I believe, in a way, she is more dangerous," Sarandon said. "They're both talking to Henry Kissinger, apparently."
Advertisement - story continues below
Sarandon said Clinton is likely to get involved in a war.
"She did not learn from Iraq, and she is an interventionist, and she has done horrible things and very callously. I don't know if she is overcompensating or what her trip is. But that scares me. I think we'll be in Iran in two seconds. It frightens me," she said.

Sarandon scoffed at the picture of Trump painted by his critics.
"This is what we're fed," Sarandon added. "'He's so dangerous, he's so dangerous,' but seriously I am not worried about a wall being built, he is not going to get rid of every Muslim in this country. Has he made it the norm to be racist and to vent these kind of un-American things? Yes. But seriously, I don't know what his policy is. I do know what her policies are. I do know who she is taking money from. And I do know that she is not transparent, and I do know that nobody calls her on it."

Sarandon earlier had said that an indictment of Clinton in her email scandal was "inevitable."
"Nobody's even talking about this indictment. What happens with that?" Sarandon said. "Besides the trust issue of catching her in so many lies."

I began Thursday with a morning trip to the gym (still trying to find activities that don't exacerbate my IT band/hamstring/butt pain). After 30 minutes of elliptical, 10 minutes of rowing, and some foam rolling I was feeling pleasantly sweaty!
Breakfast was coffee, calcium supplement, 1/2 apple, 1/2 banana, cinnamon raisin bagel, and Tbs Barney Butter (almond butter).
Lunch was my usual salad and iced green tea. I ate outside in the sunshine!
Today's mix included:
- spinach
- shredded carrots
- sliced red onion
- sliced mushrooms
- 2 Tbs balsamic vinaigrette
- white beans & chickpeas (~1/2 cup)
- feta cheese (~1 oz)
- Tbs craisins
- Tbs whole grain croutons
It was delicious! But I need to stop buying $2 bottles of fancy iced tea….
I love Annie's graham bunnies so much! I finished up what was left in the box (maybe 1.5 servings?) for an afternoon snack. Now it's time to buy some more!I knew dinner was going to be late (~9pm) so I need a little pick-me up after work. I was lured in to Tasti D-Lite where I purchased a small cone.
Once I got home, I began preparing dinner. I based my Middle Eastern Stuffed Peppers on a recipe I found in Women's Health Magazine.
Read on for the details on my version:
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1/2 – 1 lb ground turkey breast
- 1/4 cup chopped olives
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 tsp diced garlic
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cut tops off of bell peppers, save tops and set aside, remove seeds, and place peppers in a small baking dish
- Spray a medium frying pan with cooking spray and cook meat, garlic, cinnamon, and cumin over medium heat for ~4 minutes
- Add tomato sauce and raisins and cook for another 4 minutes
- Remove from heat, stir in olives and rice
- Divide meat-rice mixture evenly among the bell peppers
- Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees
Yum! My stuffed pepper was delicous with a glass of ice cold beer.
I finished the night with a few squares of my favorite chocolate bar – Cadbury's fruit & nut!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Original Pictures Forum' started by wriken, May 23, 2005.
here are some pics of the lettered Dodge
Couple more
looks nice.
Thats Sweet!!! I like the style of lettering you went with. Is that an 05? We have the 04 2500 quad cab short bed diesel. We haven't had a chance to chip it yet, what kind of mileage are you getting? If I decide to get my own I will go with the six speed manual. Do you still have all three cubs?
Very Nice!
Yes its a 05 dually, no chip as of yet. At 55 I get from 18-22 mpg, at 70-75 about 15.5-17.4. Talked to a guy the other day, he has a 02 diesel, and put in a edge ( don't know if it was a chip or programmer) and was getting about 5 more mpg then I am, but should improve alittle, I have only 3000 miles on it. Yep still have the 3 cubs and a mtd w/b, thinking of maybe getting another w/b.
Awesome truck, the lettering looks great! I've been told this of gassers and assumed similar concepts with diesels, but I hear after the breakin period it will improve fuel consumption a little but your figures don't look too bad really....
Mine's a '94 long bed regular cab, 2wd, 12V Cummins Turbo (intercooled), automatic w/electric overdrive, 3.55 gears and straight pipe w/5" chrome tip (thats one mod all diesels should have sounds like a semi these 12v's do, haven't heard many new ones straighte'd yet). Anyway, pulling my 22' trailer around town with 2 w/b's and 60" Lazer and all the small equipment, it gets 14 mpg pretty consistent. Have not driven it on the road enough to know what it gets. Before the season started after I first got it, I went a few tanks on winter mix fuel just driving city and highway mix and was getting about 17 mpg, letting it warm up a lot. I imagine now on summer fuel with less warmup if i stayed on the highway at 55-60 it should do 20-22 hopefully. I will find out this weekend going on a little road trip so I'll let you know (but remind me).
Love the Cummins!!!!!! Pulls great, the straight pipe and 5" tip get lots of comments, grins and a few dirty looks from the snooty type that think if you can hear the engine at all, it must be about to blow up LOL... And the black smoke is sweet I haven't got mine turned up yet really... the timing's been adjusted a little but no pump tweaking or chip yet... The straight pipe doesn't seem to help power or fuel mileage I think it only helps the ego, but does accomplish that well
Take care,
Looks good Wriken. How about a pic of the whole truck?
Here is a side shot
Lookin' good! When did you pick this one up?
That is sharp!

FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions). In an attempt to save us both time, I've made this page which is an ongoing task to try at best to answer questions that are asked of me all the time! New answers to questions will be added here as sort of a knowledge base as well.
- How can you design my project without being there? As you may have also read on either my web sites, I am very gifted at this, a natural per say and I just comprehend this extremely well. In addition to my design experience, I did the physical construction for over 35 years. After mastering all the trades pretty much, designing basements (over 2000 of them) and or any home improvement project would make anyone an expert pretty much; do you agree? I was also a certified kitchen designer many years ago with hundreds of beautiful kitchens, baths and even large additions I designed and even built professionally if you do not mind me bragging here a bit. So besides my love to design using what seems to be a natural gift to create and visualize things, standing in your basement apparently is just not necessary any longer; especially once I have enough digital photos to review which is mandatory as you can imagine. Once you send all information I need, I can design for you professionally, even though email. You can be directed on how to receive a list of OVER 250 references you can call once you contact me and or email me and these happy clients will tell you not only how well I do this but just how easy I do this and how pleased they were with my design process through email. Also just read these testimonies at this link; HOUZZ
- How do I take photos so you can see everything in my space well? I will need photos showing across the ceilings better since I'm not in your basement and need to see everything in the ceilings more so than I need to see what's on the floor and merely take these with your back to each wall per 15 foot section trying to show as far across the ceilings as possible in landscape (wide format). I'm not really interested in what's on the floors unless there's a drain or other plumbing I need to see but note that close-ups are confusing for me without the same shot far away so I know where it's taken from and where the photos of objects close-up is located in conjunction with your basement. Normally 12-18 photos will due and I'll let you know if I need certain ones taken if I can't see something on any future revisions sent to you. Go to this link and read more; Taking Photos and Sending
- Will I get to see what the design interior is looking like as you design it? Yes, as I have mentioned this at this link; http://basementdesigner.com/basement_design_in_3d/ I can do a great concept with as many different layouts you wish provided I don't add the ceiling and lighting details until you pick one first. It's that easy and if you provide furniture sizes, I can put CAD objects in place to show how the space is being used well. As you may know, I provide 3D views of the interior so you can see what it's looking like progressively. Yes, my program can do this and do note; you'll end up with a full scaled plan ready to permit with all the electrical to code and you can build it right the first time without rework.
- I have a builders house plan/blueprint of the basement on large paper, is this good enough to use for the design? If you sent me a builders plan that you made into a digital photo; I can use this provided I can see all the dimensions clearly but it's been my experience that 99% of all plans I see are not what's really there as builders make many adjustments to building the home to either fit the lot or downsize the square footage some for many reasons and or a change order requested something be added or enlarged. So it's in your best interest to check all of the dimensions at some point before I go forward with a design but I can use this for just doing the free design quote.
- I have a blanket wrap insulation on most of my perimeter walls, can I measure to this material for all dimensions you requested? If your basement has a blanket wrap insulation; in order for the design to come out right, it's important that all dimensions sent to me are from concrete walls and or framed walls. You can lift the blanket at the bottom and measure along the floor for anything I need. In many cases where you have lots of things in the way and need to move them or measure above them, using a step later and a helper, you can measure from the top of the walls to anything by lifted and or moving the blanket wrap aside. I'll allow for the space of this between the concrete and or framed walls on your design.
- How long can it take for you to provide a finished scaled plan for me to get a permit with, get estimates from and to build from? Most plans take a week to three weeks or with some clients even months for delivery based on your decision making, response time and having the correct measurements and photos. Basement are not only very complicated but this is a big improvement to your home which is a costly! You may want to take your time designing this to not only have it look the way you want but to work with your budget. Think about this too; this is the best way to get an apples to apples bids and to have it turn out the way it should. Imagine giving the framing contractor a 3D color view so they know just how you want it to look. All plans are done to the latest IRC codes with great detail explaining all notes clearly so everyone involved understands them.
- I've never used a measuring device before, can I really do this myself and provide you with the right dimensions? Yes, anyone can do this and always remember The old carpenters saying still works, "measure twice and cut once". I've worked with beginner's for years and my proven protocol works as I have my methods for getting the corrected information from you progressively. See this link for more information; http://basementdesigner.com/basement_design_cost_and_how_it_works/
- How soon should I start this design process? It's not good to rush a design although I can do a design in as little as a week; you should allow at least a month or longer and get me the required information which I'll outline better once you first contact me. I will always respect your concern to delay this project but I wanted to let you know that the design process is only to help prepare you better when you are ready to build the space out. I found that more than 70% of my clients take over 3 months to just work with me on a design to be sure it's the way they want it. Then the design is perfect allowing me more time to think, create and plan the space out better. If you're seriously going to do the basement someday, plan it now so you can also get apples to apples bids and know your budget is set. I'm known to design basements to meet any budget as well if that helps. My motto has always been "It's all in the plan" and you won't regret getting it planned and well thought out early.
- How do I open your PDF files that you have here on your site and or the ones you send me? Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) (may be required) If you have issues opening the PDF's I attached or sent you then you need to have the free Adobe Reader and to get it free go to this link; http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO Then you can open what I send to you and or to send attached Adobe PDF forms back to me, even ones I allow you to comment on if you don't own a version of Acrobat 8.0 or higher. In other words, any PDF files I send you can only be opened in Adobe Reader or Acrobat version 8.0 or higher. If you're using a MAC PC, click on the Applications Icon, click on the Adobe Reader Icon and allow it to be your default reader. iTunes free PDF reader for iPhone; http://itunes.apple.com/ph/app/pdf-reader-lite/id368377690?mt=8
- I am thinking of using a drop suspended type of ceiling instead of drywall; do you recommend this? I don't suggest suspended or drop ceilings in basements for many reasons. One good one is that you'll lose value to your home. Ask any realtor and they should tell you that buyers prefer drywall to match the upstairs. Here in Denver and many other parts of the country we've learned that there's no reason to have access to anything if the home was built right and is insulated right and nothing is leaking. Access to shut off valves and such can be moved to unfinished areas or you can install these new plastic access plugs that are 4-6 inches and clip into a drywall opening you make making it a clean look. Saddle valves for ice makers upstairs should be moved to an unfinished area for example. If you're worried about running wires at a later date, this should just be roughed in now with all planning in place or by installing a 2-3″ PVC pipe along the I-beam from end to end now allowing a way to pull wires from one end of the house to the other later on. Dropped suspended ceilings and or ceiling tiles will in fact make the space feel more closed in ALSO feeling smaller as the ceilings are a bit lower then they needed to be and can look like more of a mobile home or office and not like your home on the other floors in any way. Simply put, it will appear you were trying to save money! Drywall is affordable to install, easy to repair if you have an issue and bottom line, just looks a lot better.
I'll be adding many more frequently asked questions here over time. Be sure to visit this page again from time to time. Thanks………..

Bodyrecomposition Mailbag 3
So another dig into the mailbag to save myself having to think of another feature article to write. The three questions today have to do with fat loss and muscle sparing, phosphatidylserine, cortisol and water retention. Finally is a look at causes of a plateau in weight gain.
Pre- vs. Post-Workout Nutrition – Q&A
As usual this is going to be one of those longish 'it depends' kinds of answers and I'm probably going to go way off track in trying to answer it. As I discussed in The Protein Book, some recent research certainly suggested that pre-workout nutrients (carbs and protein, and I'll assume the combination from here on out) were superior to post-workout nutrients in terms of promoting protein synthesis.
Macronutrient Intake for Mass Gains – Q&A
However, those articles were meant only as a starting point and there is actually a fairly wide variability in what might or might not be optimal for a given individual. Part of the problem in answering this is that folks have made a lot of different approaches work to greater or lesser degrees and, just as with fat loss dieting, you can usually find someone who's succeeded with just about anything.
2 on 2 Off Training Frequency for Mass Gains
Perhaps the biggest thing that the above depends on is life. Like it or not, most people's real-life schedules are constrained by a rather standard 7 day work week. We have Monday through Friday which are the typical work days followed by the weekend. And this tends to have massive implications for how training weeks can be set up. Note that 'can' and 'should' are not synonymous here.
Squat vs. Leg Press for Big Legs
First and foremost, while I'm sure my answer will offend the hardcore/hardheaded lifters but there is no requirement to perform squat to build big legs (or even build leg strength). I know that this contradicts everything that has ever been written on the Internet but the idea that someone must squat to get big is just macho nonsense.
Maximal Strength Training for Bodybuilders – Q&A
It's hard for one to get bigger when their strength is the limiting factor. Eric Cressey once used an analogy of a cup with water in it. The water inside is your size, speed, endurance etc. but eventually the cup gets full and the only thing you can do to really progress is to increase the size of the glass – maximal strength.
Getting Strong While Getting Lean – Q&A
I need your help. I am 37 year-old female about 128 lbs. with my last bodyfat at 18.7%. I lift 3 days a week, two with a trainer (who refers to me as a hard gainer). He continues my workouts @ 15 reps per set for all body parts with a decent amt of weight. I have not been able to budge my lean body mass/bodyfat for months.
