This is a good explanation of how to get sharp Canvas-based rendering on iOS browsers. It was on Posterous, so the only way to get at it was this archive.org page. Sigh.
"A day of support at Mutable Instruments' is more commonly populated with "If you see a 100kHz square wave at this node, it means the integrator charges itself very fast, probably through the op-amp compensation cap only, not the external cap – check for a bad solder joint on C9" rather than "Have you checked that the power cord is plugged?" (though it happens). Furthermore, once kits get built, ideas of mods and firmware hacks crop up – all requiring expert guidance. All in all, the "support" role at Mutable Instruments is more like "product engineering – the lost levels" – and that's why, following the introduction of a product – support can be done by no other than the designer of the instruments themselves…" Still, MI's products are getting increasingly lovely. I've always been tempted by a Shruthi, and the Anushri looks lovely.
"Prototype iPhone apps with simple HTML, CSS and JS components." Looks nice; also, lovely splash site.
"Hammer.js is a javascript library that can be used to control gestures on touch devices." Very nice. And: it has a jQuery plugin, too.
Simple dynamic site generator with standardised templating tools: certainly looks nice for building those early-stage prototypes before you need a full backend.
"The history of switching power supplies turns out to be pretty interesting." It really does: long, fascinating post about a history of AC-DC conversion and how new technologies affected it.
"Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes." As recommended by Matthew Somerville. Looks useful!
"Modern digital cameras capture gobs of parsable metadata about photos such as the camera's settings, the location of the photo, the date, and time, but they don't output any information about the content of the photo. The Descriptive Camera only outputs the metadata about the content." Lovely: a camera powered by Mechanical Turk.
"It's a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone." Blimey. That's, um, remarkably useful. Duly noted.
"This is what the next generation of the mega-selling phone will look like. They'll be rough facsimiles of the high-end smartphones forged for well-heeled buyers, stripped of fat and excess—an embodiment of compromise. They'll be 90% of the phone for 20% of the price, with FM radios instead of digital music stores, and flashlights instead of LED flashes. This is how the other half will smartphone, if you want to be so generous as to call the developing world's users a half. We're not even close." Yes.
"Sahel Sounds rounded up music salvaged from the discarded mobile phone memory chips in West Africa." Wow; the after-life of dead electronic media made real.
"Board games are different. Sure, while you might love a board game for the sense of immersion it provides, or the way the game lifts off the table and fills the room, you also might love it for how beautiful the mechanics are. It's like looking inside a clockwork watch. That fascination, as you see how all the pieces fit together, how everything is timed to perfection, how balanced it all is. With a beautiful board game design, you can love it for that craftsmanship you can feel with every turn." Yup. But, of course: this is, increasingly, why I like any game. It's just much more visible in boardgames – where you have to wrangle the rules yourself. And everything else – the immersion, the involvement – will come too; it just comes from that clockwork heart.
Another potential response to my regular "come on, where's Hypercard?" query.
"It's important to note that this number does not reflect either the number of people owning a mobile phone and that the United Nations Millennium Declaration remains a crucial milestone to reach for the mobile industry. However it shows that homes, bridges, cars, laptops and netbooks, white goods, plants, spimes, and other objects have a mobile phone subscription and are likely to become the most important target segment for mobile operators around the world." Which begs the question: how do you market to things?
It Just Works and is good.
Learning datamining, using the WoW Armory as a data set.
"This page documents the web API calls that allow you to retrieve information from the item system in Team Fortress 2." Steam now has a Web API. Ooooooooh.
Stanford's iPhone development course.
"Is writing ever NOT collaboration? Doesn't one collaborate with oneself, in a sense? Don't we access different aspects of ourselves, different characters and attitudes and then, when they've had their say, switch hats and take a more distanced and critical view — editing and structuring our other half's outpourings? Isn't the end product sort of the result of two sides collaborating? Surely I'm not the only one who does this?" Something else that's been on the pile (to link) for a while now.
"The craftsman as hero is a consistent motif in Ruskin's artistic and social theories. To him, mechanisation and division of labour dehumanise workers, enslaving them to execute exactly the specifications of others. The only way to recapture the humanity in labour is to put the designer back in touch with the tools of the craft and to unleash the creativity of the maker." A lovely metaphorical piece from Matt Edgar, reminding me of how much I need to brush up on my knowledge of the Arts and Crafts movement, if only because of how much I appreciate their sentiments.
"At some point, I begin to feel that I am carrying entire Latin American forests home with me. Also, I am afflicted with a terrible need to stop and write things down, at almost every corner, slowing my passage through the city and impeding motion. I am locked in this ridiculous two-step, unable to travel more than half a block before sitting down and writing out more, papering over the last thirty feet, dripping more ink onto the street: this absurd project, this incomprehensible, incompletable urge, this terror of forgetting and compulsion to record." Beautiful writing from James, which has been sitting on the "to link" pile for far too long.
"Here is an extraordinary piece of film. It is a live outside broadcast of a British army simulation of an attack on a train in Britain. It went out at prime time on a BBC programme called Saturday Night Out. And it happened in 1956."
"Maps are having their F-64 moment, right now, which is important and wonderful but I don't think anyone really wants to live in a world with an infinite depth of field. It's an appealing idea but then something like the Hipstamatic comes along and we all get irrationally weak in the knees, all over again." As usual with Aaron, I could quote most of the article, but in this case, I'll pick my favourite piece of writing, rather than perhaps the most succint quotation; just read the whole thing. (And: I wish I could code or even write like this).
'"We have a real culture of thrift," [Kotick] said. "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games." And then, to ensure there was no confusion in his message, he added that he has tried to instill "skepticism, pessimism, and fear" of the economic downturn into the corporate culture at Activision. "We are very good at keeping people focused on the deep depression," he said.' Bobby Kotick. What a guy. What a CEO. What a leader.
"Designed by Oliver Rokison a teacher at St Paul's School. This project connects to the Tower Bridge twitter account and mimics the movements of the real tower bridge." Fun.
"Larva Labs proposes an intelligent home screen that creates a meaningful hierarchy out of a user's information. Designed for an Android-based handset, our home screen is intended to appeal to Blackberry owners and people struggling with information overload." An interesting experiment; I like being able to vary the level of personalisation on the fly, but am not sure the screen is nearly dense enough for people with "information overload" – it only handles a couple of items in each category without drilling down. The Blackberry's appeal in part is due to its hyper-dense list of information.

What Pros?
They are stealing money from people selling a product that does not do what it's advertised to do.
"Internet Security Essentials" (a play on "Microsoft Security Essentials to trick people) is fake anti-virus software and classified as MALWARE. I can't believe this is on CNET's download.com. This needs to be removed immediately! People who have paid the subscription fee or $50 for support (only to be told to download other anti-virus software) are unfortunately SOL and outta cash.

Busulfan is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.
Busulfan is used to treat the symptoms of chronic myelogenous leukemia (a type of blood cancer). Busulfan is not a cure for leukemia.
Busulfan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Busulfan can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections and help your blood to clot. You may get an infection or bleed more easily. Call your doctor if you have unusual bruising or bleeding, or signs of infection (fever, chills, body aches).
Busulfan can have long lasting effects on your body. You may need frequent medical tests for a short time after you stop using this medication.
You should not use busulfan if you are allergic to it.
To make sure you can safely take busulfan, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use busulfan if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby. Use effective birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
This medication may affect fertility (your ability to have children), whether you are a man or a woman.
It is not known whether busulfan passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Some people treated with busulfan have developed new forms of cancer. Talk to your doctor about your specific risks and benefits of using this medication.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
Common side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Tell your doctor at once if you develop signs of infection.
This medicine can pass into body fluids (including urine, feces, vomit, semen, vaginal fluid). For at least 48 hours after you receive a dose, avoid allowing your body fluids to come into contact with your hands or other surfaces. Patients and caregivers should wear rubber gloves while cleaning up body fluids, handling contaminated trash or laundry or changing diapers. Wash hands before and after removing gloves. Wash soiled clothing and linens separately from other laundry.
Body fluids should not be handled by a woman who is pregnant or who may become pregnant. Use condoms during sexual activity to avoid exposure to body fluids.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using busulfan, and avoid coming into contact with anyone who has recently received a live vaccine. There is a chance that the virus could be passed on to you. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), zoster (shingles), and nasal flu (influenza) vaccine.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with busulfan, especially:
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with busulfan, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take the busulfan tablet with a full glass of water.
Busulfan injection is given through a needle placed into a vein in your upper chest (central IV). You will receive this injection in a clinic or hospital setting. You will also receive other medications to help prevent certain side effects of busulfan.
Busulfan can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections and help your blood to clot. Your blood will need to be tested often. Your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results of these tests.
Busulfan can have long lasting effects on your body. You may need frequent medical tests for a short time after you stop using this medication.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Since busulfan injection is given by a healthcare professional, you are not likely to miss a dose.

Rebuilding Your Credit After Bankruptcy
by attorney Mark B Chernev
Filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is an excellent way to address financial issues by discharging unsecured debt and providing you with a... more
I hear that debt validation is intense proof that a collection agency has to do. in my case I dispute then when I receive a response from them they just send me a list of computerized paper with dates and money paid but I asked in my dispute more than that. If attorneys experts in debt collector or credit lawyers can tell me what the law say in California is a debt validation
Unfortunately, there are court cases that have relaxed the rigor of a collection agency's response to a request for validation under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Current case law states that the debt collection agency merely must send a letter to the consumer that they have validated the debt. This is almost nothing, compared with the more rigorous standard for responding to a dispute of an item on a consumer credit report, which is covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
If you claim to be the victim of identity theft as to the particular debt, then the standards are much higher. See Section 1798.93 of the Cal. Civil Code.
Robert Stempler (please see DISCLAIMER below)
Twitter: @RStempler
Before they can proceed with a lawsuit, they must validate the debt. Generally, this means identify the original creditor, the date the debt was incurred, and the date of last payment. The date of last payment is critical as this can be the date that the statute of limitations began to run.
If the debt is old enough, they may not be able to file a collections lawsuit.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has determined "validation" is nothing more than a statement as to: 1) the identity of the original creditor; 2) the account information (i.e., account number); and 3) the alleged balance owed. As the other consumer advocates have stated, the bar is very low. However, as a consumer, you have the right to request validation within 30 days of receipt of the initial communication. However, it is still a very strong tool as if the collection agency (not original creditor) cannot validate the debt, they are no longer allowed to contact you to collect it under the FDCPA.
The bar is low. They do not have to give you legally competent proof, just whatever their client gave them. There is no such thing as " bad validation." That being said, if you still have beef, make it known. What is it yu need to see before believing this is your debt, of the amount is correct?
Credit repair means to take actions that improve your credit history after it is negatively affected by an event such as bankruptcy.

dc.description.abstract | The optical response of sub-wavelength silver lamellar gratings has been theoretically investigated. Two distinct types of resonance have been predicted for incident radiation with E-field perpendicular to the long axis of the wires. The first resonance has been identified as a cavity mode resonance that is associated with transmission enhancement. The second resonance has been identified as an entirely new horizontal plasmon resonance on the incident (and transmission) surfaces of the wires of the grating. Normal surface plasmon modes are investigated on discontinuous gratings, and their relation to those found on continuous gratings is highlighted by focusing on the perturbation effect of the discontinuities. It is shown that the new horizontal plasmon mode is in no way related to the well known diffractively coupled surface plasmon, and is shown to have a particle plasmon-like nature. It is therefore termed a horizontal particle plasmon, and may be either an uncoupled horizontal particle plasmon resonance (a 1-dimensional particle plasmon) or a coupled horizontal particle plasmon resonance (a 2-dimensional particle plasmon) depending on the height of the grating. It is shown that this resonance may result in a reflection efficiency that is very high, even when the grating would be optically thin if it were a homogeneous film, therefore, it behaves as an inverse wire grid polariser as it reflects more TM than TE incident radiation. | en_GB |

Auditions for the "All-American" Marching Band take place during BAND CAMP. Students are rated on their performance and marching skills as well as their inter-personal skills and attitudes.
2015 BAND CAMP dates are August 16-22, 2015
If you are auditioning for the "All-American" Marching Band, please register in our MEMBERSHIP DATABASE.
WE WILL BE POSTING 2015 AUDITION INFORMATION SOON. FUTURE STUDENTS can receive regular informational emails on the "All-American" Marching Band by providing your contact information HERE
Here is the information from last year's band camp that will give you an overview of the schedule, etc.:
The following documents will contain all of the information you need to participate in Band Camp. Additionally, this is the comprehensive information you will need for the fall 2014 AAMB season.
Your Move into Residence Halls 1. You will receive your residence hall assignment from University Residences in mid-July. You will not have to contact your hall to arrange for an early move-in. 2. The earliest you may move into your residence hall is Saturday morning. We recommend that you arrive between 7 am and 10 am. 3. As vehicles arrive at the residence hall, they will form a line. Your driver can line up while you go inside the building to check-in. You will not be permitted to unload if you have not checked in at the residence hall. 4. There are two unloading options. Option 1: People are available to help you unload at a designated spot beginning at 8:00 am. This is where the vehicles are lined up. This is a great option because once you get to the front of the line of cars, there are people with dollies available to assist you. The vehicle line wait can be up to 45 minutes during peak times, but the unloading time is only 15-20 minutes. Option 2: You are welcome to unload your own vehicle in the designated spots. Depending on your specific residence hall, those areas should be labled as "unloading zones." If you select this option, there will not be any people to assist you with unloading, but dollies should be available on a first-come basis.
FUTURE STUDENTS can receive regular informational emails on the "All-American" Marching Band by providing your contact information HERE

Shape of ice

Do you care about the shape of your ice for your cold beverages?
I hadn't really given this much thought until today when I was asked this very question.
"Would you prefer cubed, crushed, nuggets, diced, crescent, or gourmet?"
I asked for crushed for my Root Beer.
But I suppose my answer would change depending on the beverage.
Liquor - gourmet
Soda - crushed or diced
Tea- cubed
Coffee - cubed
You? Are you particular about your ice?
More importantly, have you ever asked for a particular shape of ice for your beverage?
Absolutely. Shaved for a quick, cold melt in a martini up, crushed in a mojito or mint julep, one cube in a peaty scotch.

I DO care about the shape of the ice in my cold beverage. I haven't been to any place that has given me options but I'll tell you what I DON'T want....crescent shaped ice.
The kind that so many home refrigerators make.
The kind that whose curve fits perfectly with the curve of my glass and blocks the drink from entering my mouth.
The kind that plays mean tricks and directs the liquid to the sides so that it dribbles down the sides of my chin and all down the front of my shirt.
Curse you crescent shaped ice!
re: bagelman01
I had to look it up. Very cool. Makes me wish I could grow a moustache. (Chowhound's spellcheck doesn't like that spelling of mustache but that's how I learned it and I'm sticking to it!)
re: bagelman01
And I must confess to dumbing down the Brits' method of drinking gin - by adding plenty of ice cubes and every pickled fruit or veggie that's known to man!
i remember loving a certain type of ice served at a local grill. It had the appearance of being forced through a straw. It was cylindrical in shape and the pieces were a quarter inch or so long. the texture was almost flaky and had the mouth feel when crunched. Those were the BEST cokes.
I can't say I am particular now although I do yearn for that straw ice. I general don't take ice in beverages except cocktails or fountain sodas.

There's 15 percent of the players on Mississippi State's football fall practice roster that lists themselves as a wide receiver.
On July 26, the Starkville High volleyball team held their first official practice of the 2010 season. Today, just 11 days later, it's already game time for the Lady Yellowjackets.
It will be a night of introductions at Starkville High School's Yellowjacket Stadium on Friday.
There will be a strong family presence in Canton, Ohio, for Jerry Rice this weekend as he's being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
A series of life lessons learned by Jerry Rice as a youth helped develop him into a Hall of Fame wide receiver in the National Football League.
MACON – Starkville Academy's Bailey Wofford doubled three times to pace a strong Lady Volunteers' offensive attack in a 13-2 win over Central Academy on Tuesday.
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen was accurate in describing conditions for the Bulldogs first preseason football practice. "It was hot out here today," Mullen said.
Mississippi State University football fans who are eagerly anticipating the 2010 season are encouraged to join the Starkville Quarterback Club this fall.
Mississippi State will open its doors for summer football practices this week with a little under a month until the season opener.
WEST POINT – Julianne Jackson is just five games into her Starkville Academy softball career, but she's sure making a name for herself.

Transcript | The unprecedented success of the U.S. Olympic Festival this summer proved that Hous- ton has the facilities and the ability to host such events and what the community can and will react to such dynamic chal- lenges. The USOF could not have ome at a better time for the ity of Houston, giving a large oost to the city's image and its conomic outlook across the ummer. Houston was selected to host the USOF over such cities such as Austin, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. Organizers were, however, forced to overcome the prob- ems that became inherent as a result of the financial fiasco that resulted when the festival was held in Baton Rouge. Houston had some definite advantages as a host city: ♦Strong corporate sponsorship Targe buying public ♦Good location/easy accessability. Corporate backing was quite vident with at least 31 companies donating more than 10,000 each, and several companies who did not make cash ontributions provided much needed materials and services, such as Brown and Root, a locally based construction company, who donated over 100 2- way radios to the event. Although the over $350,000 in corporate sponsorship helped to ease some of the burden of the $5.5 million operations budget, organizers knew that the majority of the operating cost of the USOF would have to be covered by ticket and souvenier sales. Advance ticket sales of over $1.7 million indicated that organizers could realistically expect to meet their budget if the weather allowed spectators to attend the outdoor events. Luckily good weather prevailed throughout the ten days of the USOF and virtually no event was postponed for longer than a few hours. This allowed for a new overall attendance record of almost 350,000, breaking the previous record of 250,000 that was set in Indianapolis in 1980. Gymnastics was the biggest seller, with an overall attendance of over 47,000. But volleyball — a surprise seller — sold over 5,000 tickets in advance. New USOF attendance records were set in 15 sports, including track and field and fi gure skating, and new American records were set in the increasingly popular sports of rhythmic gymnastics and taekwondo. All tolled, the 34 events held at this year's USOF attracted over 4,000 athletes, most of whom were housed in the dormitories at the University of Houston and at Rice University. The USOF is credited with bringing over 20,000 out of town visitors to Houston, and pumping over $40 million into the ailing Houston economy, with the average spectator spending $200 to $300 while in Houston. Local merchants credited the USOF. along with the All-Star baseball game as saving them from what would have otherwise have been a disasterous summer. Even the smaller merchants managed to catch the "Olympic Spirit" brought about by the festival, with only a handful of merchants — who were usually located some distance from any events — complaining that they could see no noticeable increase in business during the festival. Over 100 hours of events were broadcast live by ESPN during the USOF. This helped show the rest of the U.S. that Houston had not blown away, and that the city was more than capable of hosting an event of enormous proportion. The high cost of hosting the USOF, was due to such factors as: ♦The financial shortcoming of the festival in Baton Rouge: forcing organizers to put down large deposits on arenas. ♦Over $250,000 spent on security. ♦Distance between arenas; events held from Lake Conroe to Galveston Island, escalating transportation costs and complications. ♦Unexpected expenses, like the $4,000 worth of ice that was used to cool down the pool for the water polo competition. If nothing else becomes of it, hosting the USOF improved Houston's chances of someday hosting the real thing — the Olympics. — Shawn Collier Competition was hot at the water polo matches. In fact, $4,000 worth of ice had to be delivered to the Spring Branch Natatorium to cool the pool. It was a Texas sized hot tub when the activities began in the Houston heat and humidity.

At the acclaimed event, jointly organised by ZEITmagazin and German Vogue and dedicated to the topic "Fashion loves Berlin", a number of high-profile personalities and insiders – such as star photographer Mario Testino, Berlin correspondent for Women's Wear Daily Melissa Drier, and Nadja Svarowski – discussed Germany's future as a fashion location.
Kicking off the event, Till Brönner wowed the distinguished guests with his "Faces of Talent", a series of black-and-white portraits which revealed an exciting new side of the internationally successful jazz trumpeter's artistic abilities. Sensitivity and skill were just two of the qualities evident in the photographs and shared by the installation's other topics: craftsmanship and the new line of tail coats of EDUARD DRESSLER's Evening Wear.

Farm Loan Funds Untouched in USDA Accounts
Almost half a billion dollars under the control of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture can be available in loan funds to help producers unable to line up ownership and operating capital after some USDA-backed loan accounts have run short.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Larry Combest (R-TX) called on USDA Secretary Dan Glickman to manage the loan accounts by immediately re-pooling unused funds or shifting from reserved accounts that are otherwise lying idle or only slowly being expended.
"Mr. Secretary, you plainly have the authority, and in my mind an obligation, to utilize these resources to meet the most pressing needs facing our farmers," wrote Chairman Combest in a letter to USDA Secretary Dan Glickman, dated May 11, 1999. "If, as you suggest, those funds could meet just two weeks of demand, then think how many people you can help. Congress will pass the supplemental appropriations providing more than a billion dollars in new loan obligations. This will replenish any account that has been used to meet the most pressing needs."
Combest today underscored the passage this week of the supplemental appropriations bill by adding, "This means no account that is being borrowed from will be left high and dry."
According to the Farm Service Agency, $514.2 million remains available in loan accounts at USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C. as of Friday. Much of this could be temporarily shifted so those producers could line up operating capital for the current planting season.

Why the Owner Chose Bocas del Toro: Our family has always loved the tropics. We would travel the Caribbean to escape the cold Wisconsin winters. Stumbling across Bocas Del Toro, Panama, we fell in love with this Archipelago of islands. Crystal clear, calm waters on the inside of the islands make it great for snorkeling, kayaking and water sports. Waves on the outside make it a world class surf spot. The beautiful, warm friendly people enticed us to make this place our home. We found this unique piece of beachfront land with a warm, soft, sand beach in front and palm trees reaching for the sun. Without barely thinking we bought it and only 2 years ago constructed own beautiful Villa.
The Unique Benefits at this House: It is peaceful and quiet filled with the sounds of nature. We are nestled in a tropical garden that is fringed with coconut filled palm trees, and tropical fruits and flowers. The views of the ocean are breathtaking at all times of the year. Star filled nights or a full moon shining across the ocean and lighting the pool for a night swim make this place a unique vacation spot. Each day will await you with a new adventure. Tours to the Zapatilla National park, Dolphins Bay, Red Frog Beach or Bird Island to name only a few. Walk to the nearby Botanical Gardens or bike to the Caves. Explore the ocean in front of the Villa using the house kayaks or surf at some world class surf spots only 5 minutes from your door. Snorkel or dive some of the most beautiful reefs in the Caribbean sea or take a boat trip to the outer waters for some deep sea fishing. This will truly be a vacation that you will not find anywhere else.
We enjoy the sun, ocean, beach and all the activities that go with it. So, we decided to trade in dreary winters for a life on the beach. We love waking up to the quiet sounds of the jungle, the monkeys, parrots and birds of the tropics and going to sleep to the relaxing sound of the waves lapping on the beach . We also enjoy people from all over the world, and the blend of cultures in the islands makes this a wonderful experience. All these things have shared in bringing our family to Bocas Del Toro, Panama and to make it our home. We are looking forward to sharing the dream with you!

It's a unique benefit to own the top beachfront property, in the whole district of Bocas del Toro!!!
Angie & Steve:Thanks for the wonderful 2 weeks in your lovely home. We had some apprehensions before we arrived as this was our first time booking a vacation without going through a travel agent but from the first email we received from Angie we knew we'd be in good hands. Not only did your home exceed our expectations but your family made our vacation a very, pleasant and memorable one. We'll definitely put Villa Paraiso down in our places to return to! Angela & Dave TuckerToronto, Canada
We really enjoyed our stay here at Viia Paraíso. Excellent location, not too far from town but not too close. We enjoyed the privacy both location offers. The rooms are very clean and are in excellent condition. Makes visiting Bocas a more enjoyable place.The family that runs the place are great hosts.
We had an amazing time at Villa Paraiso it was the perfect getaway, a hidden gem in Bocas! We are grateful we had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful place!
My boyfriend and I stayed a couple of days at Villa Paraiso and we absolutely loved everything about our stay. Angie and Steve are wonderful hosts and the property is breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay very much and are looking forward to going back very soon!
We only got to stay a couple of days but it was absolutely amazing!!! We stayed in the suite. This place was definitely the cleanest place I have ever stayed in in Panama or the states. Angie is great to help you in anyway and super friendly!! We didn't get to try chef Wes's cooking but we did get to have Chris cater in dinner one night and it was the best food we have ever ordered. We ordered the Lobster and the yellow fin tuna. We really enjoyed taking the kayaks that are provided out one day. This is such a relaxing enjoyable place to come. The beach right outside your door is so nice and clean. If you come to Boca's, Villa Paraiso is definitely the place to stay. It exceeded our expectations!!
We stayed at Villa Paraiso for 5 nights and had the time of our lives. First of all Bocas Del Toro is truly a piece of heaven on earth! We enjoyed everything about this trip, from riding ATV's all around the beaches and jungles, to just relaxing on a beautiful crystal clear beach at Zapatillas Island. What made the trip even more magical was Villas Paraiso, it truly was a great experience staying here. We did not have a chance to meet Steve, Angie, or Connor because they were gone for the week but we wanted to let them know we loved this place, we really truly enjoyed our stay here! Also if you plan on staying here make sure you have the house Chef, I believe his name was Wes, cook for you! My wife and I are major foodies and Chef Wes made the most delightful Lobster dinner for us that we will never forget. Easily one of the best lobster dinners we've ever had, make sure you ask for Chef Wes! Also just down the street there is a great restaurant called Guari Guari that you also must try. Overall an amazing experience, we cannot wait to come back!!
My wife and I stayed at Villa Paraiso for 8 nights. This is by far the best place to stay in Bocas. The location is perfect - on the beach, quiet and only a 5 minute taxi ride to town which cost $1.50/person. You will not find a nicer lodging option in Bocas and the Cottrell family are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The house also comes with several complimentary perks like bicycles, snorkel gear, kayaks, and more. We highly recommend you rent a 4 wheeler from Flying Pirates (they have an exclusive to 1500 acres of jungle). We paid $200 for a 5 day rental and had a chance to see parts of the island you cannot see otherwise. Plenty of excellent dining options - be sure to check out the recommendations on TripAdvisor as that was our guide and you can't go wrong. Highly recommend!
Each day will await you with a new adventure. You can use the house bikes to explore the island or enjoy the underwater beauty of the Archipelago of islands by snorkeling. Try riding the waves at Red Frog! Besides that, try kayaking, caving, diving, fishing and boat tours to the many islands. Visit the Botanical and Butterfly Gardens, or experience the World class surfing only a 5 minute walk away. This will truly be a vacation that you will not find anywhere else while you stay in a luxurious setting.

Seattle PI Special Parkinson's Report
Tuesday April 03, 2001
Parkinson's disease is a cruel magician. It makes its victims slowly disappear.
It mutes their voices, erases their expressions, robs them of their motor control. Finally, they freeze in a kind of suspended animation, disappearing behind the blank stare of the "Parkinson's mask."

Dr. Phil Ballard had seen all sorts of bizarre patients in psychiatric emergency rooms. But he'd never seen one like George Carillo.
It was 1982, and Ballard - now head of the Movement Disorder Program at Swedish Medical Center - was completing a neurology fellowship at Stanford University. He'd been called in to consult on a 42-year-old man who sat frozen mid-gesture, unblinking and lifeless except for normal organ function. There was no evidence of mental activity.
"He had a blank stare and was stiff as a board," Ballard said. Since the patient had come from jail, many doctors who saw him suspected he was faking catatonic schizophrenia to get out of trouble.
But it was no act.

Paul Gladstone understands at a more intimate level than most the anatomy of the damaged brain.
As a scientist, he is on working terms with the intricate molecular pathways in the brain. He can describe what happens when neurons die and neurotransmitters disappear. He details which circuits get disrupted, which loops of neural programming get erased.
As a patient, he lives with the consequences.
On this particular day, Gladstone, 51, is hunched over his kitchen table contemplating the links between the immune system and the central nervous system, two areas of particular scientific interest to him.

I don't particularly like the man myself but no one should suffer that level of abuse so I do hope that he reported it?
If he hasn't then he should do.
Why oh why does everyone think their life would end if the didn't have a twitter account !!
Just when I think this guy has finally gone back to where he came from he pops back up. Just like the Herps.
He is sooooooo hot!
People are so horrible and cruel!
This is why Twitter, Facebook, YouTube [or any other social networking status] must be BANNED!
Really need some sort of tracking software to find these folk and (live in front of a camera) ask them to repeat the tweet – that could be the name of the show, "Repeat the Tweet – douchebags on camera".
He's luckier it's only the average online abuse that's the norm given to gay people. Where I live in London,it's direct abuse of gay people with the violence.
It s a sorry state of affairs when lgbt people on here are as nasty as the bigots that do Rylan down. We should support our own. Rylan is a really nice bloke give him a break, he's not Andrew Pierce a gay that's never said or done anything for gay people!
Don't like him fair enough….don't comment.-
What exactly has Rylan done for the LGBT community? Anything he's done has been done in the name of lucre. As for supporting our own…what are we? A cult? Why not just support people deserving of such, people with a talent, skill, something to offer society, culture or whatever. Not some preening mincing TOWIE reject.
I rest my case Suddenly ! Are you a straight acting gay btw (just saying..lol)
Im kidding and yes you have a valid point re:lgbt community but dont slate him for being camp or whatever,thats just his personality. No harm in that
I absolutely agree, and I think this attitude of 'what has he done for ….' stinks as well. Do we all have to get something out of it before we show a little civility towards each other? The guy hasn't been biting the heads off gay babies, so what is with the bad attitude towards him? He's made a success of himself and it just sickens me that people project their jealousy by criticising him.
Another reason to avoid Big Bro. Maybe he should realise that there are reasons he he provokes such reactions. He's a vile, mincing, talentless Katie Pricey wannabe. What an effed up representative of the lgbt community.
Far too harsh.
Homophobia is driven by inner-hatred. 'Show me a homophobe; I'll show you a closet case'. What other POSSIBLE reason IS there for homophobia but a 'discomfort' about ones own desires? A person who is comfortable with their sexuality is NEVER homophobic. Only those with 'issues' resort to the sort of hatred described by Rylan. The 'trolls' need to address their self-loathing.
I would love to interview him for our Gays In The News section of My Big Gay Radio Show on Gateway 9.8 FM – please contact us.

US 5587127 A Abstract A method and apparatus for sterilizing preformed cartons prior to filling is disclosed. The interior of the cartons are first sprayed with a solution of hydrogen peroxide. The cartons are then treated with heated air to remove the hydrogen peroxide. The heated air is applied by means of a hollow mandrel having nozzles at one end. The mandrel corresponds generally to the shape of the carton. When the mandrel is inserted in the carton, air is directed against the interior side walls and bottom of the carton, and is exhausted from the carton by flowing upwardly between the side walls of the mandrel and the side walls of the carton.
Claims(8) 1. A method for sterilizing food cartons of the type having a preformed bottom and upright side walls, the method comprising:
applying a solution of hydrogen peroxide to the bottom and side walls of a carton; inserting a mandrel into the carton, said mandrel having an interior and a plurality of nozzles communicating with the interior; directing a stream of heated air through the interior of the mandrel and through said nozzles while the mandrel is in the carton, and out of the carton through a space between sides of the mandrel and the side walls of the carton; and withdrawing the mandrel from the carton. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said applying step includes spraying an aqueous solution containing between about 0.1% and 15% hydrogen peroxide.
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the spraying produces a full conical spray pattern to coat the bottom and side walls substantially uniformly with the solution.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said directing step includes directing air at a temperature of between about 715 and 1100 degrees F.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said directing step includes directing sterile air at a rate of between about 10 and 15 cubic feet per minute.
6. The method according to claim 1, including advancing the carton on a conveyor to a first station where said applying step is performed, and then advancing to a second station where said inserting, directing and withdrawing steps are performed, and then advancing the carton to a third station where the carton is filled with liquid food product.
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the conveyor stops for an equal period of time at each station.
8. The method according to claim 1, wherein said step of directing a stream of heated air includes directing a stream of heated air against corners located at the bottom of the carton.
Description This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 07/974,694, filed Nov. 12, 1992 now U.S. Pat. 5,368,828 This invention relates to methods and apparatus for sterilizing cartons prior to filling, and more particularly to increasing the shelf life of food products in sealed paperboard cartons. Paperboard cartons are commonly used for packaging pasteurized and ultrapasteurized milk and juice products. Such products are commonly packaged in gable top cartons which are preformed with a closed bottom before being filled. Typically, the cartons are advanced through a filling machine on a conveyor. Before the cartons are filled, a hydrogen peroxide solution is sprayed into the interior of the carton to kill the bacteria that causes spoilage of the milk. Safety precautions must be used to prevent hydrogen peroxide from causing injury to the workers. Regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration limit the amount of hydrogen peroxide permitted in the air where workers are present. After the hydrogen peroxide solution is sprayed into the carton, it is necessary to dry the interior of the carton before the carton can be filled with milk or other food product. The hydrogen peroxide solution is removed from the interior of the carton in conventional filling machines by applying heated air to the interior of the carton. The conveyor that supports the cartons in the machine stops for a predetermined time interval to permit operations, such as filling, closing and sealing, to be performed on the carton in sequence. If an operation requires more time than the predetermined time interval, then it is necessary to increase the time interval, or provide additional stations where the operation is repeated one or more times. The manner of blowing heated air into the carton by conventional machines is insufficient to fully remove the hydrogen peroxide from the interior of the carton at one station, and it is necessary to provide several additional drying stations before the cartons can be filled with milk. The need for multiple drying stations in these prior packaging machines not only adds to the expense of the machines, but also limits the production rate of the machines. It is an object of this invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for the sterilization of the interior of cartons with hydrogen peroxide solutions. It is a further object of this invention to reduce the time required and the heat load for carrying out the sterilization of the interior of cartons. Another object is to provide a hydrogen peroxide system that protects workers from the harmful effects of exposure to the chemical vapors. These objects are accomplished in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention by a carton sterilization system that has two stations. In the first station, an atomized spray of hydrogen peroxide is applied to the interior surfaces of a preformed carton. At the second station, a mandrel is inserted into the carton. The mandrel has a plurality of nozzles which direct heated, sterile air against the interior surface of the carton. The flow of heated air and the pattern of the nozzles cause the hydrogen peroxide vapors and liquid droplets to be removed efficiently from the interior of the carton without substantially increasing the process time, and without requiring additional applications of heated air. The mandrel reciprocates into and out of the carton and has a pattern of nozzle openings that provides a substantially uniform pattern of distribution of the heated air over the interior surface of the carton. Heating the hydrogen peroxide in this manner increases the effectiveness of the hydrogen peroxide, and causes the hydrogen peroxide vapor and droplets to be removed efficiently. Preferably, the first and second stations are enclosed in a chamber to protect workers from the hydrogen peroxide vapor. A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 is a schematic view of carton filling apparatus incorporating the carton sterilization system of this invention; FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the carton sterilization apparatus; FIG. 3 is an end elevational view of the carton filling apparatus; FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the carton filling apparatus; FIG. 5 is an isometric view of the dryer mandrels; FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of one of the dryer mandrels; FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the dryer mandrel along the line 7--7 in FIG. 6; FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of the mandrel; and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the mandrel along the line 9--9 in FIG. 8. Referring to FIG. 1, the apparatus and process of this invention have been applied to a conventional automatic filling machine, such as the type disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,448,008 for use in filling preformed cartons with liquid food products such as milk or juice. These conventional automatic filling machines are supplied with preformed blanks. The machine opens the blanks to form a tube, seals the bottom of the tube to form a carton with an open top, and places the carton on a conveyer. As the carton advances through the machine, it is filled with liquid food product, and then the top is closed and sealed. The filled carton is then conveyed out of the machine. The carton sterilization system of this invention is interposed between the formation of the carton and the filling of the carton. Referring to FIG. 1, the carton formation apparatus 2 places cartons 4 in sequence on a rail 7. In accordance with conventional practice, a conveyer 6 advances the cartons intermittently two stations at a time, which allows two cartons to be filled simultaneously. The conveyor has a dwell time that allows sufficient time for carrying out the slowest operation in the machine. The system of this invention could be adapted to machines in which the cartons advance one station at a time or more then two stations at a time. The filling stations 8 are shown in FIG. 1. At the filling station, liquid food product is dispensed into the open top of the cartons by conventional dispensing equipment. Two cartons are filled simultaneously and then advance to the closing and sealing stations (not shown). The sterilization system of this invention is interposed between the carton supply portion of the conveyer 6 and the filling station 8. The sterilization system includes a hydrogen peroxide spray system 10 and a heated air dryer station 12. At the hydrogen peroxide spray station 10, two sprayers 14 are positioned over the cartons 4 to direct an atomized mist or spray onto the interior surfaces of the container. A solution of hydrogen peroxide is supplied through suitable conduits 16 to the sprayers 14 and compressed air is supplied to the sprayers 14 to cause atomization of the hydrogen peroxide solution. The solution has a concentration of 0.1-15 percent hydrogen peroxide, and the flow rate through each nozzle is between 0.1 and 1.0 liters per hour. Preferably, the spray is in a full cone-shaped pattern to provide a uniform coating of the hydrogen peroxide solution on the interior side walls and bottom of the carton. The hydrogen peroxide activated by heat, must be removed from the interior of the cartons 4 before they are filled with the liquid product, and this is done at the dryer station 12. The dryer station includes an insulated housing 18. A mounting plate 20 which is secured to the bottom of the housing 18 supports a pair of mandrels 22. As shown in FIGS. 5-9, the mandrels 22 are hollow and have a tubular body 24 which is secured to the plate 20. The lower end of the tubular body 24 is covered by a nozzle plate 26. The tubular body also has a pair of guides 28 extending along opposite sides for engaging the interior walls of a carton to prevent the walls from collapsing against the side of the tubular body 24. As shown in FIG. 7, the side walls 30 of the tubular body 24 slope inwardly toward the longitudinal center line. The front and back walls 32, 34 are substantially flat at the lower end of the mandrel 22, while the portion of the front and back walls that is adjacent the plate 20 slopes inwardly in the same manner as the side walls 30. The plate 20 has an opening 36 that is aligned with the interior of the tubular body 24. The nozzle plate 26 has a central nozzle 38 and corner nozzles 40 as shown in FIGS. 7-9. In FIG. 6, a representative bottom-sealed carton 4 is shown as positioned on the conveyer 6 to show the relationship between the nozzle plate 26 and the interior of the carton 4 when the mandrel is lowered into the carton. Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the mandrels 22 are attached to the housing 18 by means of the plate 20. Air is supplied to the housing 18 through a flexible conduit 42. Air under pressure is supplied to the conduit 42 by an air blower 44 or other suitable means. A pipe connector 46 provides a rigid mounting for the housing 18 on a mounting bracket 48. A heater unit 61 is mounted on the bracket 48 between the conduit 42 and the connector 46. The heater unit 61 may be an electrical resistance type, or any other suitable type for heating the air as it flows through the unit. The bracket 48 is mounted on a vertical shaft 50 which is mounted for reciprocating motion in a vertical sleeve bearing unit 52. A drive mechanism 60, which preferably is of the crank and link arm type, imparts vertical reciprocating motion to the shaft 50 in timed relation to the operation of the other components. Coordination of the conveyor 6 and the drive mechanism 60 is controlled by the machine drive 62. The mounting bracket 48 is shown near its uppermost position in FIGS. 2 and 3. Air from the conduit 42 is supplied to the interior of the mandrels 22 by a pair of pipes 54. Heating elements or other suitable means are provided in the heater unit 61 to transfer heat to the air flowing through the pipes 54. The maximum temperature of the air should be less than the temperature that will cause damage to the carton material. To avoid overheating carton material which typically has a polyethylene coating, the temperature of the air flowing from the nozzles should be about 715� F. for the smallest containers and about 1050� F. for the tallest containers. The flow rate of air through each mandrel 22 is preferably 10-15 cfm. Since the apparatus of this invention is intended to be used with cartons of different heights, it is necessary to adjust the operating conditions depending on which size of carton is being processed. The quantity of hydrogen peroxide spray for each carton should be proportioned to the surface area of the carton side walls and bottom. The sprayers 14 have conventional controls which adjust the flow rate of the solution and the air pressure to achieve the desired degree of coating of the carton surfaces. The temperature of the air and the flow rate of the heated air used for drying the cartons must also be adjusted in relation to the size of the cartons. The stroke of the mandrels is the same for all sizes of cartons, preferably 6.3 inches, and for short cartons, the ratio of penetration of the mandrel 22 to the height of the carton is more than for taller cartons. As shown in FIG. 3, the position of the rail 7 is adjustable so that the top of the carton will be positioned at the proper height for receiving the mandrel 22 and for being filled and sealed, regardless of which size carton is being filled and sealed. As shown in FIG. 1, the hydrogen peroxide sterilization station 10 and the dryer station 12 are preferably enclosed within a housing 56. The housing 56 has openings at opposite ends to allow the cartons to enter and leave the housing. The air flow through the exhaust line 58 should be greater than the air flow into the enclosure at each end where the cartons enter and leave and from the nozzles in the nozzle plate 26, so that hydrogen peroxide vapors do not escape from the enclosure but are directed through the exhaust line to be collected and treated before being returned to the atmosphere. In operation, cartons 4 are formed and placed on the rail. The conveyer 6 advances intermittently a distance that corresponds to the spacing between two cartons, so that two cartons are treated simultaneously at each station. The dwell time of the conveyor is selected to be long enough to carry out the necessary operation at each station, and since a continuous conveyor is used, the longest required dwell time controls the timing of the conveyor. The cartons then advance to the sterilization station 10. A spray nozzle sprays hydrogen peroxide solution into the interior of each carton to form a coating of the hydrogen peroxide solution on the interior surface of the carton. The cartons next advance to the dryer station 12. The mandrels 22 are initially raised to the position shown in full lines in FIG. 2. The blower 44 is operated so that a stream of air is flowing through the conduit 42 and through the pipes 54 to the interior of the mandrels 22. By operating the mechanism 60, the bracket 48 lowers the mandrels 22 from the position shown in FIG. 3 into the interior of the cartons on the conveyer until the mandrels reach the position shown in FIG. 6 relative to the support plate 7 of the conveyer 6. Air from the conduit 42 is heated as it passes through the heater unit 61. The hot air flows out through the nozzles 38 and 40 in the nozzle plate 26 and then upwardly along the guides 28 until it flows out through the top of the carton 4. The stroke of the mandrels 22 is the same for small cartons of limited height as it is for taller cartons, since an important feature of the invention is that this machine is easily converted for use with shorter cartons without having to adjust or change the stroke of the mandrels 22. After a predetermined period of time, the mandrels 22 are raised and the cartons then advance to the filling station 8 (FIG. 1). AS an example of the conditions that are appropriate for carrying out the process of this invention, the hydrogen peroxide solution should have a concentration of 0.1 to 15% of hydrogen peroxide, and preferably a concentration of 10%. The temperature of the heated air as it flows out of the nozzle plate is preferably between 1050� and 1100� F. for a 245 mm tall carton. The total flow rate is preferably 10 to 15 cu. ft. per minute. The vertical movement of the mandrels 22 is about 6.3 inches. Using these conditions, a satisfactory reduction of B subtilis should be achieved. By inserting the mandrels in the interior of the cartons and directing the high temperature air stream against the interior surfaces of the carton, and particularly against the bottom corners of the carton, residual quantities of hydrogen peroxide are substantially eliminated from the interior of the carton in a single step, so that the cartons can be filled immediately after passing through the dryer station 12. For taller cartons, heated air flows from the nozzles upwardly along the space between the walls 30, 32, 34 of the mandrel 22 and interior side wall of the carton to remove the hydrogen peroxide effectively. No additional drying treatment is required. While this invention has been illustrated and described in accordance with the preferred embodiment, it is recognized that variations and changes may be made therein without departing from the invention as set forth in the claims.

Ấn Quang Pagoda
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) |
An Quang Pagoda (Chùa Ấn Quang, 印光寺 meaning: "Light of the (Dharma) Seal") in Master Van Hanh Street is a meeting place for Vietnamese Buddhist leaders in Ho Chi Minh City and is a site of the Institute for Dharma Propagation. It has been at the focus of development of modern Vietnamese Buddhism as the seat of the School of Buddhist Studies and the headquarters of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam.
Since its founding in 1948, its buildings have been expanded in number and size; they now include a library and a publishing house.[1] But the importance of the pagoda lies in the large number of Dharma teachers who started from this place and the thousands of monks and nuns who received their training there.
Today the pagoda serves as the headquarters of the Ho Chi Minh City Buddhist Sangha and it may serve as a place of reconciliation between the (underground) Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV) and the Communist Party and government who oppose it.
