text: PREPARATION OF GENTAMYCIN AIPMMA (ANTIBIOTIC IMPREGNATED POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE) BEADS FROM BONE CEMENT. The contents of the pack are sealed in sterile containers. Provided that the materials are maintained in sterile conditions, re-sterilisation of the beads is unnecessary. 1. Prepare a sterile surface using a sterile drape in a well-ventilated area. 2. Unpack the contents of the box, identifying the liquid component and the powder component of the cement. 3. Turn out the two parts onto the drape. When turning out the powder keep the outer pouch. The inner surface is sterile and will act as a non- stick surface for making the beads. 4. Lay the powder pack outer onto the drape with the sterile surface uppermost. 5. Scrub up and put on sterile gloves. 6. Take a catheter mount syringe and remove the plunger. Place on drape. 7. Mix the liquid to the powder in a sterile container (Autoclavable pot provided) Mix thoroughly with a wooden spatula or sterile spoon. 8. Pour into syringe barrel keeping sterile finger over end of nozzle the cement is quite viscous and may need help with the spoon to get it into the syringe. 9. Place plunger in barrel, invert and express air. 10. In the manner of an icing bag squeeze out small blobs approx 5mm diameter onto the surface. The mixture will start to stiffen in the syringe after 1-2 minutes depending on ambient temperature. Quickly squirt out a column of bone cement up and down onto the sterile surface as a long worm. The mix will start to thicken quite quickly so express all the cement as soon as possible. 11. Once all the cement is out start cutting the worm into bead size portions using a sterile blade. 12. Before the cement fully hardens it can be moulded to a degree. Using a sterile dental scraper it is possible to create miniature 'polo' mints through which sutures may be passed if the bead requires stitching in place. 13. Once set the cement beads may be stored sterile in either sterile urine sample bottles or small blood sample bottles. 14. The shelf life of the beads is unknown but probably similar to the expiry date on the bone cement. Presumably shelf life is maximised by refrigeration. **** Bone cement is not designed for use in the rabbit nor does it have a product licence for this species. Veterinary Instrumentation accepts no responsibility for any use of the product other than as orthopaedic bone cement. Veterinary surgeons using bone cement in the rabbit would be well advised to explain this to clients and have them sign a disclaimer***** The following article may be of interest to surgeons treating rabbit abcesses. (text in bold in italics has been added by ourselves to reflect U.K. sources of PMMA) MANAGEMENT OF ABSCESSES OF THE HEAD IN RABBITS R. Avery Bennett, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS University of Florida Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Gainesville, FL Abscesses in rabbits are often caused by Pasteurella multocida; however, a variety of other organisms including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus sp, Bacteroides sp or a combination have been cultured. Abscesses are considered to occur as a result of bacteremia though often no source or predisposing cause is identified. Abscesses of the head may be secondary to dental disease, food packed between the tooth and gingiva, tooth fracture, tooth root abscess, or a foreign body. They occur in rabbits of all ages and frequently develop rapidly (in a matter of a few days). The abscess is usually nonpainful and the rabbit appears clinically unaffected. When teeth are involved the rabbit may become completely or partially anorectic. The abscess may be soft or firm but frequently they have a soft center. They are usually not moveable and when bone is involved there may be bony swelling as well. The wall of the abscess is very thick and usually contains bacteria. The pus is caseous, thick, and creamy white in appearance. Of all abscesses occurring in rabbits, retrobulbar and skull abscesses are considered to be the most difficult to treat. The clinical work up includes a CBC, serum biochemistry panel, urinalysis, and chest radiographs especially in rabbits with chronic or recurrent abscesses. Skull radiographs under anesthesia are essential to evaluate the presence and extent of infection associated with tooth root abscess and osteomyelitis. With the rabbit under anesthesia a complete oral and dental exam are conducted. An aspirate is obtained using a large bore needle to confirm that the mass is an abscess and for evaluation cytologically and microbiologically. The pus is usually thick and a sample cannot be obtained through a fine gauge needle. The aspirate is submitted for culture and sensitivity, but a Gram's stain is also evaluated as many aspirates yield no bacterial growth and the Gram's stain may help direct preoperative antibiotic therapy. The rabbit is placed on antibiotic therapy prior to surgery based on the culture results or Gram's stain cytology. A variety of surgical therapies have been used in treating abscesses of the head in rabbit with variable results. In general, the prognosis for complete recovery without recurrence is guarded to poor. Client education prior to surgery is vital. Often, multiple surgical procedures are required because of the tendency to recur. Depending on the procedure used, postoperative care may involve intense nursing care and wound management. Frequent visit to the veterinarian and often a significant financial commitment are required as well. Regardless of the treatment method selected, it is important to remove any teeth that are involved either from tooth root infection or as a result of osteomyelitis. Long term antibiotic therapy is also essential. It is best to culture the tissue of the wall of the abscess intraoperatively. The bacteria within the pus are frequently dead but when the wall is cultured the chances of obtaining a positive culture are greater. Two weeks of antibiotics is usually inadequate because of the great potential for recurrence and many recommend low dose, life-long antibiotic therapy to prevent recurrence. The traditional treatment of abscesses in mammals (lancing and draining) is not effective in rabbits. The pus is too thick to drain adequately and recurrence is common. When approaching abscesses of the head it is important not to drain the abscess into the oral cavity. A stoma or fistula into the oral cavity will result in poor and delayed wound healing. Another technique used to treat rabbit abscesses involves lancing the abscess, curetting the wall, and leaving the defect open to heal by second intention along with wound irrigation. The wound is irrigated with an antiseptic solution such as dilute chlorhexidine or dilute povidone iodine. Irrigation is performed 2-3 times daily until a healthy bed of granulation tissue is present. Once the wound bed appears healthy, topical treatment with an antibiotic cream or ointment is continued until the wound is well epithelialized. Proteolytic enzymes (spray or ointment) such as trypsin may be used in the wound to help with wound debridement and removal of infected, devitalized tissues. Recently, packing the abscess cavity with calcium hydroxide has been recommended. In one report of 14 cases, 10 resolved without recurrence. Once the pus is removed from the abscess and it is debrided, the cavity is filled with dental calcium hydroxide. This material has a pH of 12.0 which kills bacteria but is supposed to be nontoxic to tissue. The material is left in place for 1 week, removed, the wound evaluated, and new calcium hydroxide place. This procedure is repeated until there is no evidence of infection. Then the wound is allowed to close by second intention. The author has used this technique but it has cause serious tissue damage and necrosis. It appears that the high pH is damaging to the tissues. When bone must be debrided, the defect may be filled with bioglas (Consil; Nutrimax Laboratories). This material also creates an environment in which bacteria cannot live and stimulates bone growth. It has shown promising results in treating abscesses of the head of rabbits with bone involvement. Because of the high recurrence rate of these abscesses, it appears that excising the abscess en bloc as one would remove cancer is more likely to result in a cure without recurrence. The abscess mass is excised with wide margins attempting to remove the abscess without rupturing it. Most abscesses of the head involve bone or teeth making it very difficult to remove them without rupturing them. It is best to dissect the abscess out down to bone, quickly remove the abscess at the level of the bone, curette the bone and remove any teeth that are involved in the abscess, and irrigate copiously to decrease the effects of contamination from the ruptured abscess. It may not be possible to completely excise abscesses associated with osteomyelitis or tooth abscesses; however, it is vital to remove all abnormal tissues - soft and hard. After the abscess is excised, the wound is left open to heal by second intention. Wound irrigation is also a part of this therapy and must be performed 2-3 times daily. In the author's experience, the best method for treating abscesses of the head of rabbits involves complete (or as nearly complete as possible) excision of the abscess and filling the defect with antibiotic impregnated polymethyl methacrylate (AIPMMA) beads. The abscess is removed as completely as possible and the defect is filled with AIPMMA beads which release relatively high concentration of antibiotic locally with little systemic absorption. The rabbit is still placed on systemic antibiotics for 2 weeks but long term therapy is not necessary as the beads release antibiotic for many months. The antibiotic chosen is based on culture and sensitivity results. Where there is no growth, a broad spectrum antibiotic with activity against P. multocida is selected. The beads are left in place a minimum of 2 months at which time they may be removed assuming there is no recurrence of abscessation. If the beads are not removed, they do not cause clinical problems as they are biologically inert. Indications for removal are the presence of a fistulous tract, poor cosmetic results, and interference with normal function. If they are placed within a mucosal lined cavity such as the nasal cavity, their presence will stimulate production of a serous exudate and removal is indicated. For purposes of removal, it is ideal to place the beads on an orthopedic wire when making them, forming a string of beads. In this manner when the beads are to be removed the surgeon need only locate one bead and the remainder can be removed by pulling the string. Unfortunately, when used in rabbit head abscesses, the beads are often too small to string on an orthopedic wire making bead removal more challenging. Antibiotic Impregnated Polymethyl Methacrylate Beads AIPMMA has been used in human medicine since the early 1970's for the treatment and prevention of infection. Since that time it has been used for a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic problems. In veterinary medicine, it has most commonly been used for total hip arthroplasty to decrease the incidence of osteomyelitis associated with the procedure; however it has also been used to treat cellulitis in a bear, chronic sinorhinitis in cats, and open fractures and septic arthritis in horses. The author has also had positive results with it in treating septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in reptiles and birds. The rationale behind the use of AIPMMA is to provide high local concentration of antibiotic with low systemic absorption and, therefore, less toxicity. It is useful in infections where long-term use or the systemic use of the antibiotic of choice would be contraindicated. This is often the case with rabbit abscesses. It is useful in intractable patients where it is difficult to administer systemic antibiotic with the required frequency. And it is useful when an expensive antibiotic is indicated as repeated administration is not required. It is NOT indicated for treatment of systemic infections. The ideal antibiotic for use in AIPMMA beads is one that is bacteriocidal, broad spectrum, effective in low concentration, heat stable (up to 100o C), and has high water solubility and low tissue toxicity. Gentamicin has been studied extensively and has been shown to elute concentrations above the break point susceptibility concentration for over 80 days with levels detectable for over 5 yrs. The average serum concentration (1 g gentamicin/20 g PMMA) was only 0.5 mcg/ml and the wound fluid concentration was 80 mcg/ml. These studies were conducted using powdered gentamicin which is not available in medical grade. Many use tobramycin at the same concentration as it is available in a powder. Recent research conducted by the author indicates there is no difference in elution between the powdered gentamicin and the liquid form used clinically. The formulation and amount of antibiotic can affect the strength of the PMMA but that is not of concern when making beads as they are not under stress. Antibiotics commonly used where elution information is available include the following: gentamicin or tobramycin (1g/20g PMMA) and cephalothin or cefazolin (2g/20g PMMA). The author has recently conducted studies with amikacin and ceftiofur. It appears that amikacin (1.25g/20g PMMA) and ceftiofur (2g/20g PMMA) also elute at effective rates and concentrations. This data has not been fully analyzed at this point, however. In our work, there was no difference in elution between powdered and liquid gentamicin; however, there was a difference in the elution rate between liquid and powdered amikacin. The liquid form eluted slower than the powder. The elution of the antibiotic is bimodal with a rapid release in the first few days followed by a slow, long term release of antibiotic over weeks to months. The beads become encapsulated with fibrous tissue within a few weeks and then only tissues within about 3 mm receive the high concentration of antibiotic. Because of this it is essential to remove the abscess as completely as possible before placing the beads. They should not be placed within the abscess capsule. The rate of elution is affected by various factors. The amount of fluid flowing past the beads influences the rate such that highly vascular areas elute the antibiotic more rapidly with more systemic absorption and more rapid depletion of the antibiotic within the beads. When placing beads in vascular tissues a higher concentration of antibiotic may be necessary than when placing beads in less vascular tissue such as bone. The head of rabbits tends to be made up of relatively well vascularized tissue, but the author has not increased the concentration of antibiotics. The diffusion properties of the antibiotic and its heat stability also affect elution rates. The exothermic polymerization reaction can denature antibiotics such as penicillins making them less effective. These drugs can be used but in higher concentrations. The previously mentioned antibiotics are heat stable. Enrofloxacin is not heat stable. Until elution studies have been conducted it is not recommend that new antibiotics be used clinically. Combining antibiotics also may change elution rates in unexpected ways and is not recommended. Another factor influencing elution rates is the shape of the beads. These are not commercially available and must be made by the veterinarian. They may be made at the time of surgery aseptically and implanted immediately or made preoperative, sterilized with ethylene oxide, and stored for future use. The shelf life for these beads is unknown but assumed to be the normal expiration date of the antibiotic. Because the fumes are annoying and potentially damaging to contact lenses, many prefer to make the beads in a hood prior to surgery. The cement comes in 20 and 40 g packets (Surgical Simplex; Howmedica, Rutherford, NJ or Bone Cement; Zimmer, Patient Care Division, Charlotte, NC) which is enough to treat several rabbit abscess.(VETERINARY INSTRUMENTATION is able to supply the following versions of PMMA. BC1G already contains appropriate levels of Gentamycin. BC1 is a bone cement containing no antibiotics. Both types come as 40g packs. By mixing half quantities or quarter quantities in appropriate ratios it is possible to make a range of different AIPMMA beads. ORDER CODES for combination of bone cement, catheter mount syringe and instructions: BCGKIT and BCKIT) Any unused beads are gas sterilized and used in future patients.( provided that the beads are made in sterile conditions and kept in sterile urine sample bottles, it is our view that further gas sterilization is not necessary. These beads are not going into sterile areas. Care should,however, be taken to avoid cross contamination.) The antibiotic is mixed THOROUGHLY with the copolymer powder prior to adding the liquid monomer. With some antibiotics this takes several minutes. Once the polymerization begins, the cement hardens within 10 minutes. Refrigerating the reagents prior to use will extend this time. It can be challenging to make all the beads that quickly and the aid of an assistant is very helpful. Beads may be rolled into spheres and strung on a fine gauge wire. A sphere has the most surface area which increases elution. A rough surface also has more surface area. Unfortunately, the size of bead that can physically be made with the fingers is often too large for use in rabbit abscesses. As an alternative, the mixture is placed in a syringe (catheter tip for larger beads and regular tip for small beads) and squirted out onto a paper surface (such as a table drape intraoperative). A scalpel is then used to cut the tube of cement into small pieces. In this manner, a group of small cylinders will be created to function as beads. These beads will be too small to string on a wire. When placing the beads, count the number implanted and record it in the patient record. Complications associated with the beads are few. Superinfections due to long term antibiotic use have not been reported. There are no reports of allergic reactions to the antibiotics eluted from the beads. There have been no reports of systemic toxicity from the antibiotics either. Elution, however, can vary and with potentially toxic antibiotics such as gentamicin and penicillin (in rabbits) care is taken to make sure that an excess dose is not delivered systemically by placing too many beads with a high concentration of antibiotic.

It's difficult to believe that Dr. Paul Mali, who has been advertising Christian messages in The Day, was successful in the world of academia. In his ads, he makes questionable statements, represents them as fact and doesn't cite his sources. And he seems to be a self-proclaimed judge of the modern moral world.
A little research will show him that AIDS isn't an illness exclusive to gay marriage. Further, it's not his business if 70 percent of women aren't virgins on their wedding night. Actually, it's not clear who his gripe is with - teenage pregnancy, priests, the Catholic Church, Christian ministers or the 85 percent of Christians "in name only"? Neither sinners nor Christians are satisfying him.
And since Dr. Mali considers only 15 percent of Christians to be true Christians, there doesn't appear to be enough people to bring change and hence avoid the modern apocalypse that he envisions.
Personally, I'm going to stay in my non-Christian, loving home and let the 15 percent of existing Christians deal with Dr. Mali's doom. I had no idea of the chaos that exists in some people's minds. My world was enriched; my mind found peace when I left organized religion. Is there a message here?

CEO Delays acquisition strategy, as partners head to Las Vegas conference.
Cisco Systems is hoping for a little luck during this weeks Partner Summit in Las Vegas. The company is used to holding a winning hand, but CEO John Chambers has concerns about the economy and has halted Ciscos acquisition strategy for the foreseeable future. Cisco isnt the only networking company down on its luck. Nortel Networks dismissed 10,000 employees in January and now says it needs to cut an additional 5,000 employees to compensate for slowing sales. Lucent and 3Com also are hurting.
Still, its important to keep the bad news in perspective. Unlike mismanaged dot-coms, Cisco remains very profitable and the company continues to refine its partnering strategy. A retooled pricing policy, for instance, will be a hot topic of discussion at this weeks conference.
Cisco in March disclosed plans to eliminate volume discounts for allies at the top tiers of its partner program. Discounts will be based on a partners certification and specialization. Translation: Box pushers that focus on sales volumes wont have the upper hand against solutions providers. In the past, Web and catalog shops emphasizing sales volume over service undercut Cisco partners that invested heavily in specializations and staff certification. In some cases, customers hired solutions providers to specify and install a network but purchased Cisco products through a catalog operation. Ciscos evolving specialization program encourages solutions providers to develop skills in Voice over IP, wide-area networking, wireless, security and other networking fields.
"The whole idea was to give [partners] a level playing field from a price standpoint," says Jim Clark, president of AC&C Network Services, an Orange, Calif., network integrator. Security also will be a hot topic at Partner Summit. Cisco recently extended its AVVID Partner Program (www.cisco.com/go/avvidpartners) to include best-in-class allies that can help customers to implement, analyze and manage their security solutions, says David King, a senior marketing manager at Cisco. Partners hope to hear more about the strategy. "Ive been to every Cisco Partner Summit, and I look at it as the key strategic event of the year," says John Freres, CEO of N2N Solutions, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner. N2N has gone from zero revenue to nearly $40 million in just three years. Freres credits much of his firms success to lessons learned at Ciscos event. "We were able to build this years business plan based on cornerstones set forth at last years summit," he says. Previews of Cisco acquisition Geotel inspired Freres to establish an IP telephony practice before most rivals wised up. Freres is such a Cisco Summit believer that he is taking two of his board members to the event on his own dime. Everybody goes to Vegas expecting to hit the jackpot. This year, that wont be quite so easy for Cisco and its partners.

Voter IDSubmitted by Rick Wilson (not verified) on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 1:54pm.
There are so many things in this country that require a photo ID, why not voting? If it is important enough, you will make arrangements to get the ID. This is not about some conspiracy to prevent people from voting. It is about ending the conspiracy theories that abound now about voter fraud. If you are unwilling to secure a picture ID for yourself, you probably are too lazy to vote anyway. What's next in this argument…………do away with driver's licenses because some people don't want to go to the trouble to get one but feel they should still be allowed to drive? I also believe you should have to prove you are a legal citizen of this Country before being allowed to vote………………. »

Title: Outdoor container gardening in Hughesville PA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
Coming from Europe, I have found myself in a whole new climate and am trying to learn about what is possible for gardening in PA. Unfortunately, at this moment,we live in a trailer and have little room to garden. I would like to find plants that would be hardy or evergreen throughout our winters here, possibly keeping them in a few pots. According to an employee of a local nursery it is nearly impossible to keep plants in pots in the winters here. Is that really true? Maybe I just need to focus on my two little gardens and let go of the idea of the pots? I hope you can advise us in this.ANSWER:
You were given correct information, outdoor container gardening is totally impractical where you are. Lycoming County is in North Central Pennsylvania, which means you are in USDA Hardiness Zone 5b, with an average annual minimum temperature of -15 to -10 deg. F. We realize that when you look around you, you see some evergreen native plants in the winter, but their roots are undoubtedly in the ground. Consider this: no matter if a plant is evergreen or deciduous, its roots must not be frozen, because this will cut off the flow of nutrients that is keeping the plant alive. If the roots are in the earth, possibly covered by a nice mulch, the whole Earth is insulation for those roots. If it is in a pot, the roots have a few inches of potting soil and either a thin terra cotta or a thinner plastic pot wall between them and well below zero temperatures. They are going to die, and you will have wasted your time, money and resources in a losing battle. We understand, since you may be living in temporary quarters right now, that you would like to have something potted that you could take with you later when you moved to a larger place. We also feel fairly sure that you do not have much indoors space for potted plants.
We are going to go to our Native Plant Database and see if we can find a few small plants that could be planted in the ground around your present place, and that would survive the winter temperatures. We would not recommend trying to dig them up and move them later, because they will be woody plants, and if they have acclimated themselves and grown well, their roots are likely to be damaged if you try to move them. Leave them behind for other's pleasure, and go on to other plants in other places. These plants are all native to the Lycoming County area, and should therefore be acclimated to your rainfall, climate and soils. Please follow each link to the webpage on the individual plant for more information on its culture.

dana 44 front in 95 yj
i need help trying to figure out what the dana 44 frontend thats in my 95 yj came out of i belive the BOM# is 603219 any help would be great
Is it low or high pinon?
Do you have locking hubs? Whats the lug pattern? What side is the punkin on? |
That BOM doesnt have the right amount of characters. I dont think...give us a couple of pics of the axle and we can tell you.
its a low pinion 5 on 5.5 lug pattern driverside drop it appears to have been shortened
has locking hubs an ill have to take a pic of it dont have any right now thanks for the replies want to put 4.88s in it just not sure what it came from
Sounds like it's from a Scout but not sure, from a Scout you have to role the C's on the end and weld them back in line.
that was my guess too but dont know for sure i bought the jeep already built the person i got it from couldnt tell me what it was out of. i know it has 4.09 gears in the front disk brakes an man. hubs are all dana 44 gears the same as in fitment thru the years want to put 4.88s in it at least. only have the 4 banger in it an i run 38s off road an 33 onroad it does ok.

Wired systems are difficult to maintain, costly and take many days to set up
Health is an issue not just for humans but for structures built by us, too. The periodic monitoring of the health of bridges is crucial, and if you can do this with a wireless system and remotely, it's even better. A collaboration of computer scientists and civil engineers from IIT Madras has developed exactly such a wireless health monitoring system suited to observe the fitness of railway bridges.
Usually the health of bridges is assessed visually, by actually examining whether any component has given way. However, it is known that vibration-based damage detection systems are much better than mere visual examination at assessing the propensity of bridges to fail. For instance, measuring the strain, or expansion of the limbs of the bridge when a train passes over it, can help in an early detection of flaws in the limb. In this case, the sensor measures the strain and the acceleration on the limb to which it is attached, even as the train passes over the bridge.
There are wired systems in use. But these are difficult to maintain, expensive and also take many days to set up. This is where the importance of the wireless health monitoring systems comes in.
The system consists of three units: a mote, which is responsible for collecting, processing and transmitting data (the measured acceleration and strain); a head node, which is a computer close to the mote (about eight metres away), which receives this data and transmits it in bunches to a remote monitoring station and a remote server, which receives the data and analyses it. In practice, there can be multiple motes placed on the railway bridge and they can all transmit their data to the head node. By looking at the correlation of strains from spatially separated motes, the observer sitting at a remote location, even a hundred kilometres away, can predict whether the bridge is within its utility period.
The system was deployed at Nagari bridge in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. When asked what are the types of failure the system would pick up, U. Saravanan of the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras, who mathematically modelled the bridge for the data analysis, cites fatigue life, which correlates with crack propagation and failure, bearing seizure, loosening of rivets, etc.
To maximise the usability of the wireless motes, they are designed to go to sleep when they are not in use. They are "woken up" by vibrations from trains whose speeds exceed 10 kmph. This is tied to the reason why Nagari bridge was chosen for the deployment. "Trains pass over this bridge at high speeds, such as 100 kmph, and all these trains would 'wake up' the mote," says Saravanan. About 2,500 train passes have been observed so far, and the researchers want to record data from 5,000 train passes to validate the system.
With 50-100 sensors being needed to cover one such bridge, the cost of scaling up this would be huge if the wired systems, which cost Rs 50,000 a piece, were to be used. The cost per piece is reduced to less than 10 per cent of this with the wireless motes. The deployment of the system did come with major challenges.
"I have taught students for nine years, but even so, actually deploying this system taught me much more than a classroom lesson could have," says V. Kamakoti, Department of Computer Science, IIT Madras, who is responsible for developing the 12,000 lines of embedded code in the system. The team plans to make this software freely available for all.

- This personal cookbook was a project in school, we were working on the whole year. They gave us free-hand, so we could express ourselves in our own style, and we could do whatever we wanted.
This book contains the recipies of my family, I wrote them down from my mother herself. And also, these are my favourite foods and meals since my childhood. It is written in my native language of course, in Hungarian. The texts are not downloadable fonts, it is my own handwriting witch makes it more personal...
There are 9 recipies in it, and each starts with a girl-illustration.
It'd be great, if I could show this book to my children in the future, and tell them how we loved these kind of foods and how we prepared them in the past : ) - The Cover:
- The Binding:
- Japanese book-binding technique.
- The Quote:
- The quote is from a Hungarian poet and writer, and it literally says this: "You can only have a bellyful, when you remember of the lunch."
Which actually means that: "A certain thing happened to you in your life, which you really enjoyed, but the best pleasure is recalling it, some time later." - The Scheme:

Scheme for performing statistical multiplexing in the optical layer
Journal of Optical Networking, Vol. 4, Issue 5, pp. 237-247 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (202 KB)
The proliferation of data-centric networks has intensified the research efforts for development of architectures and technologies supporting fast reconfigurable optical networks accommodating any temporal and (or) spatial traffic fluctuations without WDM channel overprovisioning. The novel core network architecture presented in this paper is based on partitioning a meshed network into a number of clusters. Within each cluster the architecture exploits metropolitan area concepts (MACs) to achieve statistical multiplexing gain by transparent transportation of fixed duration slots. These short slots, which are controlled by means of a MAC protocol, are combined to form larger frames that are then exchanged between the clusters. Specific nodes that serve as gateways between clusters undertake the coordination of frame switching and end-to-end routing. Thus, traffic within a particular cluster enjoys reservation-based no-loss transport, while for the communication between clusters either robust two-way reservation schemes or even optical burst switching (OBS) approaches are possible. The end result is an architecture that supports statistical multiplexing within the optical layer with good performance and reasonable complexity.

Commercial fiction
I think the best fiction blurs some of the distinct lines between genres, and in keeping with that mantra, my novels are action/adventure with a strong sense of history and mystery, and on rare occasion, even a little romance.
My name is Glenn Atchison. I have always enjoyed the idea of writing, but in 2011 I actually started doing it. I have completed my first novel (which I am currently shopping) and about halfway through my second. I am having the time of my life.
I am its new biggest fan. Awesome group of people.

text: http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, i have an application that launches several pthreads, i know that the default size used by Linux is 8Mb for each pthread. However i would like to optimize the total memory usage by my application by decreasing the default stack size of each pthread to the needed resources. My questions: - Are there any rules to set the pthread stack size. - How to compute the memory needed by each thread. - Is the malloc call inside a thread counted from the stack size of the same pthread? thanks (HowTos)

In the past, only processor use in batch jobs was considered when calculating RUs. The change in our charging policy will reflect the fact that memory is also a scarce resource that should be accounted for in RU charges. The proposed change affects only Oakley jobs that request more than 4GB memory per processor (core).

Extending the Growing Season - on Both Ends
Total People in Discussion: 0

This weekend was cold – not a time you'd be thinking about harvesting anything. Yet there I was, 15 degrees outside, standing in a greenhouse picking sorrel microgreens, and digging carrots…in Zone 6a (-10 - -5 degree lows). At Midsummer Farm in Warwick, New York, Barbara Laino uses an intensive approach that can produce food almost all year. The key is planning. She emphasized that you must understand your own environment and microclimates in order to time everything from planting to picking. In her case, she puts crops such as lettuce, spinach, endive, Swiss chard and beets for greens in raised beds in early spring, late summer and fall early. These plants have a short growing season and prefer cool weather. They mature in 45 to 50 days, which means that they reach maturity early in spring and before deep winter sets in. Barbara started seeds indoors in January and will be putting them out in 2 – 3 weeks. If all goes well, she'll have new greens in March. In the late summer and early fall she'll plant so that she can harvest throughout the colder months. She plants every 2 weeks until the soil temperature becomes too cool for germination. Fall planted crops won't regrow leaves, as they would in the warmer part of the year, but some of them are pretty hardy and will pick up where they left off once the temperature and light conditions are right. With that in mind, Ground Hog day marks the point at which we now have 10 hours of daylight –enough for many plants to restart their growth engines. If you'd like more information on extending your growing season, the University of Maine Cooperative Extension has a nice handout with photos at http://umaine.edu/publications/2752e/. Penn State Cooperative Extension has a handout on extending the growing season using high tunnels at http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/FreePubs/pdfs/xj0007.pdf.

I recieved a Herny golden boy for my 11th bday( I'm 15). It's engraved with my name, birthday, and a short message from my Uncle. It's fairly accurate as far as I can tell(Not really used to the buckhorn irons). I don't shoot it much though, it looks too good...... :-)
Got one, Beautiful, love it, it's a tack driver, but it also is a boat anchor.... UGH heavy brass reciever....
I want the coal miner edition real bad! I don't know why, it just seems really cool.

I love my .22lr. Easy to use same ammo as my other .22's. I shoot mind with relative frequency, but always concerned about the 'bling'! Wipe it off frequently....you can explain that it is necessary to the family...after a while they won't think a thing about you sitting on the couch caressing her....mmmmm. What happened...where am I?
If It Were Easy, They Would Not Call It Work, And Everyone Would Do It
I got a Goldenboy 22lr for Christmas last year. It's an amazing gun! Incredibly smooth and well made. I'd recommend the 22LR as its cheaper to shoot and you can also shoot shorts and CBs as well.
Just picked up a standard .22 Henry yesterday!!!
I'm getting a Golden Boy soon. I just got the Big Boy .44 two days ago. After handling it this weekend, I went to the shop and he is holding a Big Boy .357 and a Mares Leg in either .357 or .44 for me as well. This is going to be quite the Henry Collection! I like it so much more than my Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited.
What do I shoot with? Canon gear of course

websites urls without file extension?
I'm not sure what it is exactly but after looking at sites like Facebook and others I often see urls like http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=examplequery
My question on this is sites like Facebook and others are written in PHP but don't always use the .php extension on the end like youtube's search for example instead of results.asp or results.php it just uses /results? and then adds the query string on the end.
Can anyone tell me are these using PHP/ASP.Net or is it an EXE file like a cgi program? I'm confused.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can clear this up for me.

Keenan Johnson, 19, entered the HSBC Bank on Sunrise Highway and attempted to cash a forged payroll check in the amount of $914.81, according to 7th Squad detectives. The manager ran the document through a check scanner, noticed irregularities and determined the check was forged, police said.
Police were notified and Johnson was arrested at the bank. He was charged with possession of a forged instrument and was arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Wednesday.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Arizona Game and Fish officials are investigation the death of one of the more than 30 desert bighorn sheep recently released in Tucson's Santa Catalina Mountains.
The 4-year-old ram was found dead Wednesday by Game and Fish staff along the eastern edge of Sutherland Ridge near the headwaters of Romero Canyon.
The discovery was made after a signal from the sheep's GPS radio collar was detected during an aerial survey.
Samples have been collected from the carcass for analysis.
Game and Fish officials say possible causes of death are injuries that may have occurred during or after capture, including stress that can lead to heart failure. Other possible causes are a fall, a predator or disease.
The ram was captured Nov. 16 near Yuma and released two days later.
