To all whom'z't may concern:
Be it known that I, LAWRENCE C. DAVIS,
of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and a citizen of the United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sanitary Toothbrushes,
setforth in the following specification.
The invention relates to instruments which are employed for the purpose of removing deposits of foreign matter from the W surfaces of various objects, and it especially relates to brushes which are used for clean ing the teeth, the principal object of the invention being to produce a brush which is capable of acting upon not only the exterior surfaces of the teeth, but the less accessible proximate surfaces thereof which the ordi- -nar tooth brush is incapable of reaching.
hese ordinary tooth brushes are provided with bristles which are substantially of equal lengths and stiffness, and, if it be attempted to force some of these bristles into the interproximal spaces of the teeth, penetration of those spaces will be prevented by the resistance of other bristles which bear against the bodies of the teeth. Other tooth brushes contain tufts of stiff and relatively soft or pliable bristles, but these brushes contain no means for sustaining the stifi bristles against lateral displacement, and it is, consequently,
difl'icult to cause these stifl' bristles to enter the spaces between teeth to thereby clean the approximal surfaces thereof. A tooth brush having a limited number of bristles may be caused to reach into these inter-proximal spaces, but such a special brush is unfitted for general uses, and, furthermore, is of limited utility inasmuch as the bristles are unsustained laterally and are therefore liable to bend or break under pressure.
The brush which I have devised is provided with laterally sustained bristles and is therefore adapted, not only to clean and olish the outer and more exposed surfaces,
of teeth, but to reach the hitherto practically inaccessible proximate surfaces and to remove therefrom or prevent the formation of the so-called plaques which are the direct cause of diseases of teeth and gums. This brush is also adapted for use in massaging and hardening the gums.
The invention will be understood by referring to the accompanying drawings in wh1ch- I Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the brush body and the handle assembled;
Figure 2 is a erspective view of the handle with the loc ring device released;
Figure 3 is a section through 3-3 of Fi re 1;
igure 4 is a section through 4-4. of 00 Fiure' 1; V a
igure 5 is a view showing a stri of the wrapping material from which the ody of the brush is formed, and showing the penetrative filaments of the brush;
Figure 6 is a view showing the application of the brush to teeth;
Figure 7 represents a piece of lufia;
Figure 8 is a View of a modifying wrappin and lugure 9 is a view of another modified wrapping.
The body of the brush 1 is composed of two principal parts, one part of which contains a narrow row or a plurality of narrow (6 rows of abrasive, penetrative filaments 2, which are preferabl straight and stiff and are disposed in a su tantially median position in said body, and the other part of which is made of yielding fibrous vegetable or other cellulose 3, arranged in such away as to envelop and constitute lateral supports for the penetrative filaments when they are pushed into the inter-proximal spaces 4 of the teeth. This yielding material may be- 83- resilient and, if so, will tend to restore the penetrative filaments to normal upright positions as the brush is passed from tooth to tooth.
Thepenet-rative filaments 2 may be common bristles, but are preferably vegetable or cellulose fibres, such as Tampicoor bast fibres which, provided they are sufficiently stiff will effectuate the removal or prevent the formation of incipient plaques. II
The enveloping yielding part of the brush is preferably composed of the cellulose that is known as lufi'a fibre 5, this being the fibrous mass constituting the linings of certain Indian and African and Texan gourds which are respectively known as Luyfa AcutanguZa and Lufi'a Oyh'ndwlca or Lufa (Egyptian. These linings contain layers in one of which the fibres 6 are ap roximately parallel, while the other layers 2 are of re- 106 ticulate form. In cuttin these linings for use in a brush, the incision is made across the fibres 6, so that the cut ends thereof will appear at the surface of the brush and a reticulated layer 7 will constitute the side 1! of the brush. This disposition of the respective layers is advantageous inasmuch as the parallel fibres are thus positioned where their abrasive and absorptive properties may be utilized, and the reticulated fibres are so situated that their relatively smooth surfaces may be employed for the purpose of massaging the ms. The penetrative filaments are enve oped by apieceof the aforesaid cut lining.
The completed brush body, which ma or may not be impregnated with a suitab e dentifrice, such as a. suitable powder mixed with a binder in solution, that is, a binder made adhesive by moisture, is 'preferabl in the form of a compressed block whic is adapted to be firmly clamped in a suitable handle 8, said handle being so desi ed as to be capable of exerting substantially uniform pressures upon and throughout the length of the brush body. It has been found diflicult to secure the individual penetrative filaments unlessthey are all subjected to the same degree of pressure, but this result may be attained if the clamping portion of the handle has parallel jaws 10 and 11, which will operate to produce these equal pressures or unless an adhesive binder is employed. The reticulated fibres of the body portion assist in the locking of the straight penetrative fibres in place, the pressure of the clamped jaws, due either to their movement toward each other, or to the swelling of the 'wetted bod portions of the fibres acting to cause t e reticulated fibres to crimp said penetrative filaments which hi terlock' therewith and thus produce a secure anchorage for said filaments. r The jaws :10 and 11 of the handle are united at their extremities bya thin flexible hinge 12, which may be made integral with'said' jaws. Thishinge is preferably straight as shown, sothat 1t will not yield under the strain which is incident to the clamping operation, and in order-that it may actmerel as a tensional member of the clamp. T e flexibility of said hinge should not be impaired by excessive tempering, but it maybe mildly tempered to cause it to maintain the jaws of the clamp in slightly divergent relation to each other to enable the body of the brush to be easily introduced between said jaws. 1
The handle 8 is preferably made of a single piece of semi-cylindrical metal, portions of which at the middle part 13 of the handle are juxtaposed to form acylindrical stem, a continuation of one of these parts being the 'aw 10. The jaw 11 1185,18. free emi-cylin rical end 14, which may lie flat against a part 15 of the handle when the jaws are grasping the body of the brush. The juxtaposed portions of the handle are united by a band 16 or otherwise. A sleeve 17 which is adaptecLto slide on the handle constitutes the locking means .for the free end 14 of the jaw 11.
The handle is bent to form a scraper or cleaner, 18, which is to be used in removin deposits from the tongue.
igure 8 shows a mass of spongy rubber 19, having serrations 20 and pores 21, which mass maybe substituted for the lufla hereinbefore described.
A further modification of the brush body may be made by using a woven piece of fabric, as shown in Figure 9. Thls fabric may have wefts 22, of any suitable and relatively stiff fibres, such as bast fibres, and warp threads 23 of cotton or other substance commonly employed in weaving. The penetrative filaments may be wrapped in pieces of this fabric in the 'same way that they are wrapped in the lufl'a fibre. The fabric will, of course, be cut in such a way as to resent the ends of the wefts to the teeth w en the brush is used.
In order to ensure and maintain complete sterility of the brush body, itis sterilized in any suitable manner, and tightly wrapped in foil, or wax paper. This wrapping, for sanitary reasons, should be removed without allowing the fingers to touch said body. e
The parts of the brush are so related that it will be found convenient to utilize each of the parts thereofiin the manner contemplated. For scrubbing the extraneous parts of the teeth thebrush will be employed in the same way as an ordinary tooth brush, while, to reach the proximatesurfaces, the
brush, will be pressed against the teeth crossof the envelope enabling the envelope to receive and retain foreign substances carried by the gums, orexpressed from cavities beneath diseased gums.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: i i
1. A tooth-brush body including a mass of juxtaposed filaments, an enveloping reticulated mass of absorptive cellulose, and a binder adhesively securing saidfilaments in position.
2. tooth-brush body including a mass of juxtaposed filaments constitutin a portion only of said brush body, and a binding dentifrice adhesively securing said filaments in position.

13. A tooth-brush body having a row of juxtaposed filaments, and a coextensive sheath of yielding absorptive material for laterally sustaining said filaments.
14. A tooth-brush body having a row of 17. A tooth-brushbody comprisin penetrative filaments, and a massaging e ement, said filaments and said element being composed of cellulose.
18. A tooth-brush body comprising a mass of filaments, and an envelope for said filaments having fibers interlocked with said filaments.
'19. A tooth-brush body comprising a row of filaments of uniform thickness, and an envelope for -said filaments also of uniform thickness and having fibers interlocked with said filaments;
20. A tooth-brush body having a median row of relatively stiff filaments, and yielding compressible and absorptive bodies of reticulated or inter-connected vegetable fiber arranged at the sides of said filaments.
21. A tooth-brush body having a median row of relatively stiff filaments, and compressible andabsorptive sustaining bodies of loofah fiber arranged at the sides of said filaments and having the parallel fibers thereof cut to constitute the abrasive surface of the brush.

If its just like "tissue hits the waste bin" Then you won't mind if we take it and leave you be [?]
Sperm is not like blood. Its your DNA, your Family line..! Something someone should be proud of.
Yeah it can lead to new life, but I can participate in the real activity anytime I choose. I don't weep everytime the tissue hits the waste bin, nor to I rejoice when someone drops a cup off at the sperm bank. Quite amusing though, thanks for a good laugh.
I would acknowledge more significance and just action, put forth into the development of the ultimate insertion of sperm, as princess had stated. Atleast then I would actually believe that 'poppin the cork' made more happy than none.
Cause I bet some guys would say different.

Well, the majority wouldn't care actually.Cause I bet some guys would say different.
I don't know, if it is of some help then i wouldn't mind.If its just like "tissue hits the waste bin" Then you won't mind if we take it and leave you be [?]
In now days, nobody (that i am aware of) cares about bloodlines, i mean isn't that stupid thinking for people from royal families.Sperm is not like blood. Its your DNA, your Family line..! Something someone should be proud of.
ps; i sincerely apologize if any of my comments are offensive to you.
Sperm donations? How 'bout castration....?
... Not Ever Again...
^ That's cute, I'm guessing you live in a city or very close to one. They do news stories on this topic pretty regularly, they had one on 20/20 not to long ago. There are massive areas of uninhabited land in the world, hell there is Antarctica as well that's HUGE and it'll probably be nice and warm soon enough.
You can't use that there are starving countries in the world as a reason that the world is overpopulated. That is the fault of the people in charge of that country warlords dictators and so on.
Now what resources are people consuming that aren't energy efficient?
Oil? Most if not all the big oil companies don't have half of there oil pumps/rigs/refineries at or near full capacity. If there is a problem there are hydro/electric cars, the electric car, and bio-diesel. There are probably more than that.
Back to food? You know in the US the government pays farmers large amounts of money not to grow some food and crops. I thought a long time ago that they should make them grow those crops and help feed starving people around the world, but most of that food would rot before it did anyone any good.
Is it electricity? Most of the reason there are blackout is the electric producing facility just wasn't ready for the demand placed in the area they provide. But even if there is a strain on electricity there are more and ore wind turbines and solar panels going up, as well as the old stand bys nuclear power planets and hydro electric damns.
Wow, just wow. I would say more about this little quote, but I don't give a flip if I ever have kids so. *shrugs*.Sperm donation? How about castration...?
The only problem I have with sperm donation is the use of fertility drugs, when the impregnated woman is looking to have one child and ends up have 4-8 instead.
I bet you like that idea too, less animals, more room for stupid humans.
Even if there is "massive" lan that people arent living on... You wouldn't suppose theres a good reason why that is.
Rainy\Dry seasons
There are just some places we shouldn't live... just as useless as the ocean. Or perhaps we could build little floating cities and live on the oceans too! (sarcasm)
Unfortunately, because the world is full of people like YOU. we probably will have to live on the water... what with ice caps melting and such.
I dont have to pull a bunch of bugus facts to prove the earth is in turmoil, the proof is in the pudding.
Just please tell me YOU havn't donated Sperm, and I'll be a little more at ease. You and Pres. Bush should stay at least 50 yards from any sperm bank.
... Not Ever Again...
Ok children back on topic. This thread in not on the environment. Less Al Gore, more about Sperm.

If you think about it on a bigger scale it may be a good idea to have a lot of genetics around in cold storage just in case something horrific where to happen and the wordl needs to be repopulated.

Pomodoro Challenge Timer
What this app is about is challenging you to work harder and tracking your work habits. You'll earn/lose ranks depending on your performance, earn achievements and track your productivity over time so you'll know how long you worked on what and during which days of the week and hours of the day you're at your most productive.
Now here's a few things you should know before downloading:
- This is not an organizer. If you can't keep track of what you're supposed to be doing, this app is not for you. The app includes tracking of projects so you know how much time you spent working on each of your clients/books/websites/whatever - like a timesheet, but it's not meant to be an organizer or a to-do list.
- This app will not let you pause pomodori or finish them early, so if you have a tiny baby-sized bladder and you need to pause every few minutes, this app is not for you. The shortest pomodoro you can set is 10 minutes and you're not supposed to be interrupted. That's the point of the Pomodoro Technique, that's how it's different from just using a stopwatch and that's why I'm not going to include a pause button. Also because I use this app too, and I'd be the first to abuse that pause feature to go look up random stuff on Wikipedia.
- Pomodoro Challenge doesn't contain any images of tomatoes because they're entirely peripheral to the Pomodoro Technique. It was just an accident that Francesco Cirillo (the guy who invented the Pomodoro Technique) had a timer that looked like a tomato, and there is no empirical evidence that images of tomatoes make you more productive.
- Speaking of Francesco Cirillo, this app is not affiliated with him or the Pomodoro Technique®
That's it, thanks for reading and I hope you find this app as useful as I do.
Tomatina - Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals called "pomodori", separated by short breaks. The method is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility.
Tomatina helps you track your pomodori and your breaks and keeps a register of them for later revision of your performance.
Tomatina main features:
- Completely configurable:
- pomodori length
- short break length
- long break length
- long break periodicity
- Notifications of events
- Vibration and sound on events
- Statistics of your pomodoros
Future features:
- Performance reports
- Session tagging
TimeWise: A Pomodoro Timer
A Pomodoro consists of a work period which is followed by a break, before starting on the next task. Complete four pomodoros and it's time to take an extended break. This app will help you manage this process, allowing you to concentrate on the tasks at hand and relax during your well earned breaks.
TimeWise will help you define and prioritise a list of tasks you need to do. You can also estimate the number of pomodoros a task will take and plan your time accordingly. Then by encouraging the use of the Pomodoro Technique®
TimeWise will help you split these tasks up into manageable periods with regular short breaks in between.
Keep track of how much work you have done today and always know what you are going to work on next. You can also easily see how accurate your pomodoro estimates were to further understand how your time is being used and plan your time even better in the future.
- Define and prioritise task lists so you always know what you'll be working on next.
- Pomodoro timer to keep track of progress while working on a task and inform you when it's time to take a break.
- Personalize using green, red, or blue themes
- Collect statistics about progress made each day and also view overall statistics about your work, see the number of pomodoros against each task along with weekly and overall pomodoro counts.

A productivity framework, The Habits have what other GTD and productivity applications are all missing: it helps you define your priorities and vision of your goals, overview and motivation of your deeds, plans, actions. Using it, you create a hierarchy of actions to reach your goals, where Actions of one Goal are totally separated from Actions of Another Goal, thus helping you concentrate much better on the current Goal and Action.
If you have just any issue, feedback or a simple thought about the application that you want to share with us, we are very happy to get that.

The principle is:
1. Write what is your mission in life.
2. Write down what concerns you have and which ones you can influence - visualize them in the circles.
3. Define your roles. Look at your life from different points.
4. Set the goals you want to reach for each role. You can set long-term or short-term goals.
5. Define concrete steps - actions. You can have a single step actions, or you can define complex, multi-level project, or simple checklists.
6. Proritize your actions using 2x2 matrix (a.k.a. Eisenhower matrix).
7. Assign tasks to week days (use weekly planning).
The app is written inspired by the Great book by Dr. Stephen R. Covey "The 7 Habits of highly effective people".

Murals of Silvio Benedetto
One of the first memories of arriving at the train station in Riomaggiore is the wonderful murals that are adjacent to the station and spread throughout the town. These murals so expressive of everyday life in the Cinque Terre were painted by Silvio Benedetto. Men and women in some cases are shown struggling to make a living. Benedetto was born in Argentina in the 1930's but has spent many years in Italy creating wonderful murals that express the joys and struggles of Italians in the Cinque Terre.
So please walk around town and observe these murals. Stop and think about how accurately they describe what you perceive as everyday life in the Cinque Terre.
Pesto sauce
It is typical sauce for Cinque terre and Liguria.
Ingredients are:
basil (2 bunches)
Pine nuts, (a handful)
Garlic (1 clove)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Parmesan cheese (50gr)
Extra virgin olive oil, (3 tablespoon)
Butter (a teaspoon)
Mix well basil with crush pine nuts, garlic and salt in a mortar. Then add the oil until you have the density you prefer. Lastly add Parmesan and mix well.
Before seasoning the pasta, put a little butter on the plate followed by the Pesto sauce and let it warm on the pot where you are boiling the pasta.

Some other customs
These photos show some other local customs we spotted and liked:
Photo 1 ~ on a Sunday evening all the older locals seem to make a point of coming out, dressed no doubt in their Sunday best, to sit on a bench, gossip with each other, and watch the world go by
Photo 2 ~ a baby has been born to the family living here and this sign hangs on the door to announce her arrival: "è nata Iris"
Photo 3 ~ I think this one speaks for itself (and no, I'm afraid I didn't pay the requested €1 to take this photo but rather grabbed the shot quickly while passing the restaurant where this plant pot perches on a ledge)
Photo 4 ~ a reminder of the lovely custom I mentioned in my Via dell'Amore tip, wherein local couples fasten a padlock to a railing as a sign of their commitment to each other
In several parts of Riomaggiore you will see striking murals such as this one, which you'll find hard to miss as it faces you as you come out of the railway station. They are on a truly large scale, as photo 3, with Chris in front of this one, shows.
The murals were done by an Argentinean artist, Silvio Benedetto, and the figures modelled on real local people. They are designed to glorify the unknown workers who constructed the millions of metres of dry-stone walls (muri a secco) that are so distinctive of this region. The murals paint a picture of life here in the Cinque Terre: growing vines, building the terraces, fishing, quarrying ...
I couldn't decide whether I liked them – they are clearly well-executed, and the subject matter of great interest, but even here in the newer part of town they seemed a little out of keeping with the tone of the village. See what you think!
- Arts and Culture
Life in the Cinque Terre
One of the things that most fascinated me about Riomaggiore, and the Cinque Terre region in general, was watching how people lived here, which is in many respects just how they must have lived for centuries. This is an unforgiving landscape for human habitation – steep, stony hillsides do not lend themselves easily to cultivation, even of such tolerant crops as olives and vines, and they are little better when it comes to building as it is so hard to find a level surface on which to lay your foundations. Yet people do live here, and the villages thrive despite these challenges.
And those features which make life here such a challenge are also what make the landscape so picturesque for we who visit. Each of the five villages clings to its hill or hills as if about to slip down into the sea below, and above the colourful houses are narrow terraces of vineyards shored up with dry-stone walls (or in Italian, muri a secco). The houses themselves are built as traditional tower houses, taller than they are wide, with entrances on different levels according to the height of the road (i.e. usually the back entrance is several floors higher than the front). They are painted in different soft shades of terracotta, pink, cream and yellow, many of them faded and crumbling, but no less charming for that. The shutters so necessary in this hot climate are mostly dark green, contrasting pleasantly with the lighter walls. Washing is hung from balconies or wherever else people can find somewhere to string a line. Narrow alleys and stairways thread their way between and even beneath the houses (we noticed this especially in Riomaggiore and in Vernaza). And despite the steep hills and consequently jumbled houses and streets, gardens are squeezed in wherever space can be found for them, providing vegetables for the household as well as colourful flowers.
Everyone says it, and it is true – sunsets in the Cinque Terre are special. The combination of the particular light here with the ocean and cliff scenery is perfect. As we were here in the middle of summer, the sun had a habit of setting inconveniently late, usually just at the time we wanted to have dinner, but no matter. The light just after sunset was the best of all, and Riomaggiore's harbour area one of the best places to enjoy it. Many of the younger visitors to the town would rendezvous on the rocks here to eat pizza and drink wine or beer as it set, but if you prefer some creature comforts there is a well situated bar, the Conchiglia (see my nightlife tip), and you will also get lovely views (though not of the sunset itself as the angle is wrong) from La Lanterna and Enoteca dau Cila, from where my main photo was taken.
As in restaurant tip you are supposed to mention a restaurant and not just food, I put this tip here.Restaurants in Riomaggiore and in 5 terre in general, are often too crowded, so a great idea of tasting some good food is to go in some shops and buy some ham, cheese and mortadella and to have them with the many local kinds of focaccia.
Focaccia is a sort of flat bread that you can find simple, with olives, with cheese, pesto sauce exc.
- Food and Dining
- Wine Tasting
The Cinque Terre have traditionally been a region of fishing and also here in Riomaggiore this shows: you will see those small fishing boats in the harbor and in the late afternoon you will also be able to watch fishermen work on their nets.
And if you look at the menues in the restaurants: fresh fish and seafood everywhere!
Ingenious Monorail!
The hills of the Cinque Terre are covered with grape vines, baking in the Ligurian sunshine and waiting to be harvested each autumn and made into the delicious wine that we love to drink on our visits there.
Due to the precarious way that the grapes are grown - on steep cliffs, an ingenious Monorail network has been built to carry the grapes once picked.
It is big enough to carry the driver and containers of precious cargo (aka grapes).
So after a long day hiking past the vineyards, whilst you are sipping a chilled glass of vino bianco, look to the hills and amaze over the ingenious Monorail!

the moving flowers
As soon as I arrived I noticed the sign: don't sit on the flowers. Fair enough, I thought - but something about those flowers looked strange. Then it dawned on me: these flower pots, they move... honestly, I was not drunk. Then it made sense: don't sit on the flowers - but not because you could ruin them... it's because they can cause a small accidents. When a town's vehicle has to drive down the road - for instance to collect the rubbish - those flowers slide to the side and make way to the vehicle.. only to return to their original place once the vehicle has moved on. Genial!
Euro goes farther than plastic in Riomaggiore
My hotel (Villa Argentina) and many other places in Cinque Terre did not take credit cards, and even some that did gave a better rate for cash.
Bottom line: Bring enough cash / Euros to Riomaggiore to get the best deal, and to avoid little surprises when you go to buy things or check out of your hotel.

Application of MPEG-4 SLS in MMDBMSs — Requirements for and Evaluation of the Format
Specific requirements for audio storage in multimedia database management systems, where data independence of continuous data plays a key role, are described in this paper. Based on the defined characteristics for the internal format for natural audio considering especially long time storage, where the lossless property of the format is a must, allowing among others easy upgrade of the system, the new MPEG-4 scalable lossless audio coding (SLS) is shortly explained. The evaluation of SLS w.r.t. the discussed requirements is conducted in the meaning of characteristics and processing complexity of the algorithm. Some suggestions of the possible modifications are given at the end.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Collmenter pitches well in D-backs' win over A's
The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Oakland A's 9-4 in game number four of their spring training schedule Tuesday.
Starter Josh Collmenter threw two innings, giving up just one hit and recording two strikeouts. After the game Collmenter said he's trying to use his curveball more, adding he's starting to feel more comfortable with it rather than shy away from using it.
The D-backs also got some offense going at Salt River Fields with home runs by Jason Kubel, Adam Eaton and Cliff Pennington. Catcher Wil Nieves and third baseman Jake Lamb also knocked in some runs.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson was pleased with Collmenter mixing up his pitches.
"Colli, he featured three pitches. The breaking ball, you can tell he's been working on the breaking ball. That's probably about as good as I've seen his breaking ball."
***There was also a game going on Tuesday with the D-backs playing split-squad against the Angels on the road. The Arizona tied that game 7-7***
Next up: The D-backs host the Reds in a 1:10 first pitch. Right hander Brandon McCarthy is scheduled to make the start. It will be the first time McCarthy will face hitters in a live game since getting hit in the head with a line drive last September when he was with the A's. McCarthy had surgery to evacuate an epidural hemorrhage and stabilize a skull fracture. He also sustained a brain contusion in the incident.

High performance Linux distributions Super and Underground Desktop
Experimental Linux distributions can take risks to reach for better performance. We investigated a pair of promising experimentals: Super Linux and Underground Desktop.
The beauty of Linux is that you can shape it to do whatever you want it to do. Several distros focus on high performance. Of course, there are always many paths to any solution, and all the high performance Linux distributions take a slightly different approach to delivering better performance. This article examines a pair of promising but relatively unknown Linux distributions built for speed. Super Linux is a Suse-based distro designed to serve as a testbed for new openSuse technologies. Super is essentially a faster and more bleeding-edge version of openSuse. The Super developers provide higher performance by embracing technologies that are considered too risky or too new for a mainstream enterprise product such as openSuse.

was bored so i made this. tell me if i missed anything
Strategy Changes
Ganking bot lane:
BigMcLarge Huge & Realwolf M
Sustain becomes very much valued:
Pure Backcapping strategy unviablility:
RiotBrackar (Que Whitney Houston) & POOTERSSS
OUC (Originally Unconventional Champions)
AD Malzahar:
Space Frog and Aparkhurst
AD Shaco & Nidalee:
Wukong & Jarvan:
Laroue & Zimike
It would help if you would quote their arguments, or link to the posts where these were brought up.
wat? none of those are new concepts except maybe ad malz
I thought Nekrogen was the first AD malz.
Also, I don't remember inventing sustain lol
inFe eD
Wait, someone had to INVENT ganking bot lane, and the fact that Wukong/AD Shaco always scaled well with items and excels when they're given free gold? Insanity!
I believe the original poster is implying these people were more a CATALYST of these meta changes and proppelled these ideas to popularity rather than single handedly being responsible for them through out all enternity. Think with your brains u guys.........
RealWolf M
As one of the first people to start ganking bot, I can tell you that at the time, bottom lane was almost completely ignored. If the enemy didn't cap your bot, you ignored them. I was one of the few people who didn't only gank bottom, but ganked it consistently, regardless of how successful bot lane was, allowing easy caps, and forcing the enemy team to try to recap bot while pressure went onto top/mid.
Ganks were just not common, now they are fairly common. Still not common enough in pubs.
Spacefrog put out the first AD malz guide, having played AD malz to success a large number of times before nekrogen even started not playing Ryze.
Fdru is more the 'WW' king, the first person to start using him reliably.
There is also the Udyr unmovable meta change, caused by Jjaja

The host asked to borrow my passport. I said no. He kept my driver license instead over the night to copy it. This is a really big minus. My girlfriend who isn´t European would be kicked out from Europe if the police would check her and she would´t had a passport to show. And no refrigerator. Anyway. We became upgraded from what we had ordered, and got a nice room with a shower. Putting 220 V beside the shower is standard in Italy. Else I was pleased by the stay.

Our stay in this hostel was absolutely great! We had some problems ariving with a car (warning - do not expect to park anywhere near the hostel for free ;-) ) and the hotel manager was super kind, he helped us at 10pm and was very willing to even suggest a restaurant and show us the surroundings. The hostel itself is very nice, more like a BB style with big rooms, clean halls and right in the heart of Naples! I highly suggest a stay here!

Hotel review overview
Hotel with scenic view but on hill lock
- Recommended hotel
- Families
- Beach holiday
- October 2014
Hotel has fantastic sea view, if you lucky enough to get sea view room, otherwise you will not have any fun to stay in hotel located on hill lock. If you don't get taxi to reach hotel then be ready to walk steep hill.. shopping and restaurant are 10 min walk from hotel. variety of food in the hotel was excellent. Staff at reception was helpful but carefully listen to complaints, problem and act quick to resolve. If you like walking, joggin and hill climbing then this is best hotel to stay with sea view room. read hotel review

Very nice view directly on the sea. Each room offers a view of the sea. Unfortunately, there was no sandy beach. The centre is just a 10-minute walk away. read hotel review

Glans Ring with Pressure Ball. Glans Ring with a Pressure Ball is made for your pleasure and comfort. It will press all the right spots and bring satisfaction to both you and your partners. It is made for non-pierced penises so you don't need to have any piercings to enjoy this one. It is made of high-quality 316LVM Surgical Steel so it's body-friendly, safe and durable. It includes a special pressure ball made for additional stimulation during foreplay and intercourse. The ring comes in several sizes: 8 gauge, 6 gauge or 4 gauge thickness so you can choose your favorite. It has a special ball in place and you can choose its size, ranging from ¼" to ½". These amazing glans rings (or head rings, as some people call them) are very effective and can be used as amazing penis jewelry. To Measure yourself for a Glans Ring with ball: Make sure you are erect. Wrap a piece of string around your penis, right behind the head (at the exact place where you want to wear your head ring). Use a pen or a marker to mark the spot on the string where it meets the end. Measure the string between the end and the mark you made. Take this measurement, convert it to decimals and divide the result by 3.14. This is how you'll get your "inner diameter" measurement. This is the size you'll have to order.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

While at AOL, Michael Kelly was involved in the acquisitions of Advertising.com and Third Screen Media.
Former AOL Media Networks President Michael Kelly has been hired as CEO of The Weather Channel Companies, in indication the company is counting on multiple platforms to fuel ad growth.
The Chicago native replaces interim Weather Channel head Lisa Gersh, who also serves as president of strategic initiatives at NBC Universal. The Weather Channel Companies is owned by NBC Universal and two private equity firms, The Blackstone Group and Bain Capital.
In a statement announcing Kelly's hiring, Gersh and representatives of the equity firms cited Kelly's two decades of media experience. "He understands how to reach our viewers and users and partner with our advertisers in order to maximize the growth of the business on a cross-platform basis," said the statement. The Weather Channel has a presence on television, on the Web and on mobile devices.
Kelly served as president of AOL Media Networks from 2004 to 2007. During his tenure, the company completed several acquisitions, including that of Advertising.com and Third Screen Media. Prior to the AOL Media Networks job, Kelly was president of global marketing at Time Warner.
His media career began in 1980 at the Chicago Tribune and his 17 years with Time Inc. began three years later, beginning at Fortune magazine. In 2000, Kelly founded American Town Network, a large "hyper-local" network.
Based in Atlanta, The Weather Channel Companies made up of The Weather Channel Network, The Weather Channel Interactive -- including Weather.com and The Weather Channel Mobile -- and Weather Services International. Additionally, it operates Weatherscan, an all-local weather network, The Weather Channel Radio Network and The Weather Channel HD.

'John Smith' Begonia - still waiting for fragrance
My 'John Smith' Begonia is still alive (knock on wood).
I've killed two 'Sunrise Scentiment' tuberous begonias already!
I changed out John's soil into a modified gritty mix and so far so good. The flowers continue to develop but I've yet to catch any scent from them. :(
Hopefuly I got the right tuber and I won't over water it like I did with the other ones!
Hi Robert!
How accurate is the color in your photo above? I ask because it doesn't look anything like the 'John Smith' I had last year, which was more of a solid peach with no variation in color throughout the petals. There was no pink anywhere. For me, the strong fragrance was even evident in the unopened buds which had started to color up, even with my allergy-ridden nose.
I hope they didn't send you the wrong tuber! :-(
Ispahan! You're back! ;)
The color is not accurate. It is more peachy (the pink/red was the same with the camera and my cell phone...go figure).
Still I suppose it could be the wrong plant which of course would be a major bummer considering I paid $64 altogether!
I suppose I'll wait until it opens further before sending an email to White Flower Farm.
So tell us what you've been growing! I know you're holding out on us. ;)
Hi Robert,
I still check in periodically to see what is happening, but I have been busy participating in other forums.
I don't want to take over your thread, bu I have been enjoying lots of garden lilies this summer. The trumpets and Orienpets have been swooningly fragrant :-)
