Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi
Shahs Of Sunset's GG Gharachedagi Dishes On Anger Issues, Drinking Entire Bottles Of Whiskey And Getting Kicked Out Of 10 Schools
Last week on Shahs of Sunset, Reza Farahan invited Mercedes "MJ" Javid, Asa Soltan Rahmati, and Mike Shouhed to Great Neck for his family's Rosh Hashanah celebration. Also, Mike brought Jessica home to meet the parents, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi and Omid Kalantari got their flirt on, and Asa manufactured her first tank of diamond water.
Asa is headlining the Persh-a-Pelooza (Bravo's spelling) because she fancies herself the Persian Pop Priestess. Reza gives Asa a citrine stone for good luck, and Asa likes its energy. Lovely. She'll be making citrine milkshakes next season. #staytuned
Reza ruins Asa's warm and fuzzy rock feelings by insisting she have dinner with GG. Asa says she's far too busy playing pop star and spreading her love energy to worry about GG, adding, "GG's malicious. She doesn't value anything. There's nothing human about her. I don't want people like that in my life." Reza is like, Asa, I gave you a rock! Asa is like, You play dirty. Fine. One second of anything slightly wack, I'm out. Deuces!
Is Shahs Of Sunset Star Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi The Next Rosa Parks? Also, Mercedes "MJ" Javid Talks Bravo Friends!
The stars of Shahs of Sunset never fail to
baffle amuse me. No, they amuse baffle me. Both? Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi thinks Shahs of Sunset is the 'Rosa Parks' of TV (true story) and Mercedes "MJ" Javid says Bravo makes her out to be a hotter mess than she really is (at least she's a lovable hot mess). MJ also reveals who her non-Shahs friends are on Bravo!
Uh-oh! Is GG Gharachedaghi going to make it down the aisle? A mere month after getting engaged to long-time friend turned love interest Omid Kalantari, it appears their relationship is more on the rocks than one of GG's cocktails!
The Shahs of Sunset star admits that wedding plans are well, not being planned right now as the couple struggles to make it work following their
publicity stunt quickie engagement! "No wedding plans right now. I'm seeing what happens. We're actually in a rocky place…," GG confessed to Wetpaint.
"We both jumped the gun a bit, so we're trying to slow things down," she reveals. However GG says things are far from over. "We're not going to split, but we are trying to figure out where to go from here."
Check out what your favorite (and not so favorite) reality TV stars have been up to this week with our all new photo post!
Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi hit up the Secret Room Events, honoring the Golden Globe Awards.

"Great Story"
Yes! I love this whole series...can't wait for more.
Robert Petkoff was fabulous! I loved the way he accented the characters.
"Excellent book"
Once again Kresley Cole has delivered an exciting, intense and seductive read. Love it. Add in the excellent narration by Kimberly Alexis and I'm hooked. I can't wait for the next.
"Love this series!"
Just finished listening to Dark Needs at Nights Edge and loved it. I have already read and loved the entire IAD series but hearing it read by Robert Petkoff makes it even better. Robert does such an excellent job of making these characters come alive. I just wish that the whole series was already on Audiobook (and read by Robert Petkoff) so that I could listen to/experience them all again before the next book is released at the end of this month.
The amazing voices.
"Loved it!"
Fabulous Audio book
Loved the character accents!
I already have the whole series on Kindle ebook, but now I am impatiently waiting for all of them on Audiobook...I will buy them all again.

I have to make a program to copy the serialized files from a source folder to target folder only if the target folder does not contain that serialized file, so the first condition is to check whether the file that i am copying is already existed in target folder or not if it exists then do not need to copy but if does not exists then copy, so this check of whether file exists or not is need to be done at every second
source folder is C:\ter\ target folder is C:\bvg\
file to be transffered is gfr.ser
I have come up with this below program but still check is not implemented please advise how can I implement this check also..
class ScheduledTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
InputStream inStream = null;
OutputStream outStream = null;
try {
File source = new File("C:\\ter\\");
File target = new File("C:\\avd\\bvg\\");
// Already exists. do not copy
if (target.exists()) {
File[] files = source.listFiles();
for (File file : files) {
inStream = new FileInputStream(file);
outStream = new FileOutputStream(target + "/" + file.getName());
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
// copy the file content in bytes
while ((length = inStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
outStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
System.out.println("File is copied successful!");
} catch (IOException e) {
the above approach is not working

Clijsters ready to rebound from another injury
A wrist injury has sidelined Kim Clijsters since August. Bonnie DeSimone writes on Clijsters' return and her plans to retire after 2007.
The WTA recently released a report that shouldn't have surprised anyone who has been paying attention to women's tennis in the last few years: Top players have been reneging on tournament commitments in record numbers.
Among the WTA's findings were the fact that top-10 player withdrawals from the tour's 10 most prestigious (and highest-paying) events, the Tier I tournaments, more than doubled from 13 last year to 31 in 2006. Tier I withdrawals have risen 72 percent over the last five years. This season, for the first time, none of the Tier I draws included at least six of the top 10 players that week.
Those statistics prompted WTA officials to announce they would take some as-yet-undetermined short-term measures to try to remedy the situation and implement calendar reforms in 2009, a year earlier than planned. Proposals under consideration include ending the season earlier, perhaps in late October; allowing top players to take more time off, especially after Grand Slam events; and lowering the minimum number of tournaments top players are required to enter in a season from 13 to 11.
Clijsters' chronic left wrist injury flared up again in August, forcing her to skip the defense of her U.S. Open title, the Fed Cup finals (won by Italy in her absence) and several late-season European events. She is No. 6 in the rankings, but holds the precarious eighth and last position in the qualification standings for the WTA year-end championships in Madrid. She has a decent lead on her closest pursuer, Patty Schnyder of Switzerland, who is playing this week in Linz, Austria.
Given the current trend, Clijsters' frequent absences this season aren't unusual, but they are notable in that she has declared her intention to retire after next season at age 24. She has said her decision is based on a number of factors, including her upcoming marriage to former Villanova basketball player Brian Lynch and desire to start a family, the pursuit of an entirely different career, and the mind- and body-numbing toll of her litany of injuries.
She recovered from wrist surgery to post a brilliant comeback season in 2005, when she won nine titles and her first Grand Slam. It proved a hard act to follow. Clijsters said she was enjoying herself this year and won championships at Warsaw and Stanford, but remained firm about her decision every time she was quizzed about the WTA's plan to make things easier for players like her. Her imminent departure -- the ultimate withdrawal in a sport already reeling from them -- will rob the women's tour of one of its more appealing personalities.
Clijsters began training again in early October. If she believed in omens, she might not take the court. A few days ago, she had to take a couple of days off after bruising her tailbone when she tripped over her dog, Diesel, while playing pickup soccer with her fiancé.
"My major aim right now is to be able to play the first match without pain, and win it of course," she said on her Web diary, sounding like a much older player. "Whether or not I'll be at the (year-end championships) is not so much of a concern to me. I have said it before that it would be hard against the top players after two months of absence anyway we'll see how things go after Hasselt."
Tennis U: Research kudos to Casey Angle of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, who came up with this interesting observation: If all the ATP players, either American or foreign, who attended or graduated from a U.S. college were considered college "citizens," they'd outnumber every country but Spain in the top 200. (Spain has 20 players in the top 200; the U.S. has 19.)
No. 9 James Blake, who spent two years at Harvard, is the only college guy in the top 50, however. The rest are as follows, according to Angle:
|Men's Players Who Attended College
|59. Benjamin Becker
|70. Justin Gimelstob
|71. Paul Goldstein
|87. Kevin Kim
|94. Davide Sanguinetti
|115. Robert Kendrick

|117. Alex Waske

Advance apologies to anyone inadvertently left out.
If this fictional country had a presidential election, occasional ESPN.com blogger and Stanford grad Goldstein surely would be one of the candidates. Goldstein, who reached a career-high No. 58 earlier this season, recently added to his record stash of USTA Pro Circuit titles (28), winning the singles and doubles championships in Sacramento two weeks ago. Goldstein was ousted in the first round of the ATP St. Petersburg event this week by No. 12 Mario Ancic of Croatia.
Headline of the week: "Imposible ante Federer" (Impossible against Federer), which appeared on the Web site of Fernando Gonzalez after the Chilean lost the Madrid Masters Series final 7-5, 6-1, 6-0 to the omnipotent world No. 1. Gonzalez moved up to a career-high No. 7.

Dead Man's Hand: A Sin City Collectors novella
Paranormal Romance
August 2014
Welcome to Las Vegas, home of the Sin City Collectors. The job description is easy: Bring the offending supernatural in to the Boss and don't ask any questions.
Demi-goddess and muse Seraphina Kostos has been tasked with bringing her employer's wayward teenage daughter home. Not the hardest job Seraphina's ever had – until her boss calls in a favor in the form of extra help. The man who arrives is unlike any she's ever encountered.

As the son of a vampire and a grim reaper, his touch holds the ability to reap souls. Sure, it makes for a lonely existence, but he's learned to deal with that. Or has he?
Beautiful Seraphina has him questioning everything he's ever known. Living the rest of his life alone suddenly seems impossible. But what kind of future is there with a woman he can't touch or hold or kiss?
What's Collected in Vegas, stays in Vegas…

Renaming Groups of Files From the Command Line
Trying to figure how the command works
Enjoyed the video
I can see the removal of the parts, but not the re-arrangement.
Ok, finally figured out the following:
1) The command uses "substring removal" / "parameter substitution". Took awhile to find this out - my first search term was " ${f# " and got stuff on F# prog language. Live and Learn.
2) The " f# " is for removing the shortest prefix (ie, from the left).
3) The " f$ " is for removing the shortest prefix (ie, from the right).
Problem Restated:
1) Where in the command does it say ----> move the " aa " from the the beginning to the end of the filename?
Correction to the video
1) " f# " is for removing the shortest _not_ the longest prefix
Link that was helpful: Linux Journal Article
I really enjoy learning about the CLI:) and look forward to these videos.
Renaming Details
First, if I said "longest" I mis-spoke: "#" and "%" remove the "shortest" match, "##" and "%%" remove the longest match.
The rename command is this:
mv -i $f 2009${f#*-2009}-${%-2009*}
There are 4 parts to the final file name:
2009 # Literal ${f#*-2009} # Based on original name - # Literal ${f%-2009*} # Based on original name
Given the name "aa-2009-01-01". The first substitution removes the shortest prefix that matches "*-2009", in this case that prefix is "aa-2009", leaving "-01-01". The second substitution removes the shortest suffix that matches "-2009*", in this case that suffix is "-2009-01-01", leaving "aa". So the final name is formed from:
2009 ==> 2009 ${f#*-2009} ==> -01-01 - ==> - ${f%-2009*} ==> aa
Resulting in the file name "2009-01-01-aa", the desired result.

I got it!
Very Clever
That was a surprisingly quick reply - Thanks
rename 's/foo/bar/g' *
rename .oldextension .newextension *.oldextension
mmv 'banana_*_*.asc' 'banana_#2_#1.asc'
Bulk renaming : http://is.gd/50bGB
You can also use "rename" command
The "rename" command offers as way to directly do essentially the same thing. It does a find/replace of the groups of files you specify.
Only in a few cases
Rename will work for you in some cases but not all, specifically it wouldn't work for the example in the video, unless I'm missing something...
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
rename will work with
rename will work with regex...
rename s/\(..\)-\(.*\)/\$2-\$1/ *2009*
... but I never considered this usage of parameter substitution. Thanks!

Foundations of survey sampling. This book describes the body of theory that forms the foundation of modern survey sampling. It covers a wide range of sampling methods, from simple random sampling to complex, multistage sampling plans. And it describes the math behind common sampling issues - confidence limits, sample size, design effect, ratio estimation, survey precision, etc. This book covers a lot of useful topics, but it is not for the faint of heart. The material is complex, and does require a good technical background. > Buy Now
Survey sampling in practice. W. Edwards Deming, a pioneer in the field of statistical process control, wrote this book to make sampling techniques understandable and usable by applied researchers. The focus of the book is on solving real-world survey problems, rather than understanding theoretical survey issues. The book does require a good background in statistical methods. If you have such a background, the book can help you plan surveys, analyze survey data, and avoid common survey errors. > Buy Now
Understand the math behind surveys. This book is about the mathematics of survey sampling. Topics covered include: simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and two-stage sampling. The presentation is both elementary and rigorous. It is elementary in that it requires no calculus -- only a knowledge of basic arithmetic. One warning: Even without calculus, the material is demanding. It is, after all, math. If you are intimidated by mathematical proofs, this book is not for you; but if you want to understand the math behind survey sampling, you will not be disappointed. This book really delivers. > Buy Now

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to the field of electronic device user interfaces and authorization techniques, and more specifically to the field of fingerprint imaging sensors and touch screen display apparatuses.
2. Necessity of the Invention
Modern electronic devices have developed a myriad of functionalities and associated user interfaces. Many electronic devices use a display screen, such as a monitor or display apparatus, to provide feedback to the user. Handheld devices, such as the personal digital assistant and the cell phone, have an important user interface constraint�form factor. In both devices, manufacturers desire to minimize the size and weight of the device; as one means to accomplish this, the display is small and buttons are placed close together.
In recent years, manufacturers of many electronic devices have substituted touch screen technology for the traditional display. Touch screens have the same appearance and style of a traditional screen, but have the added ability to determine the location of applied pressure. This allows individuals to use a stylus in a similar manner as a person uses a mouse to point to icons on a monitor�the individual may touch the screen at the location of a particular icon. Software running on the device determines the location of the touch and determines the associated software function, such as opening an address book. Because the additional button control interface can be eliminated, manufacturers can make the display larger and simpler to use.
As the functionality of electronic devices expands, individuals may wish to protect certain data stored within the device. For example, the owner of a personal digital assistant may choose to use his PDA to send and receive private e-mail. If the data is particularly sensitive, a simple password or PIN combination may not be considered adequate security and the individual may desire to use biometric authentication on the device. The most common form of biometric authentication, fingerprint scanning, requires a hardware module that is typically the size of a postage stamp. On a device where size and weight are limited, the addition of this module can be costly.
There are three common types of fingerprint capture technologies: optical, capacitive, and ultrasonic. Each of the three technologies combines its associated hardware capture mechanism, which varies from type to type, and typically a software or firmware controller. This controller is often responsible for analyzing the captured image, extracting minutia points, and creating a final template. Minutiae are points that represent all of the unique characteristics of a fingerprint�one example is the location of an intersection of ridges or valleys in the print. A template is typically composed of thirty minutiae and can be used to uniquely identify a fingerprint. This allows the scanner or other storage device to store only the requisite data points without storing the entire image.
Of the three types of fingerprint capture technologies, optical scanners are the oldest and most common, and they are composed of a glass or plastic plate with a light source and a charge coupled device (CCD) beneath. The light source is typically an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and the CCD is an array of light-sensitive diodes. When the finger is placed on top of the plate, the LEDs illuminate the finger and each diode of the CCD records the light that touched it, creating an image in which the ridges are dark and the valleys are light. Optical scanners are fairly resistant to temperature fluctuations, and can provide an image quality of approximately 500 dots per inch (dpi). One major concern of this technology is that latent prints��left over� fingerprints on the plate�can cause a superpositioning effect and create error. Additionally, these types of scanners are susceptible to �gummi bear attacks�, in which a fingerprint is lifted from a glass or other object, placed on a pliable and sticky material, such as a gummi bear, and can provide a false acceptance. One other point of note is that the plate must be quite large; this creates ease of use but may take unavailable real estate on a board.
Capacitive sensors are much newer than optical scanners, and are composed of an array of cells; each cell has two adjacent conductor plates, which are embedded within an insulating layer. The insulating layer is typically a glass plate. When the finger is placed on top of the insulating layer, it creates a subsequent electric field between the finger and the conductor plates, creating capacitance. Because the surface of a finger is a succession of ridges and valleys, the electric field varies over the face of the finger as the distance from the plate to the finger varies. The capacitance or voltage may be determined from the electric field, and is commonly translated into an 8-bit grayscale image with approximately 200 to 300 grid points in both the x- and y-plane. This creates more detailed data than the optical sensor. Capacitive scanners are typically smaller than optical sensors because the cells are composed of semiconductor devices, rather than a CCD unit.
While capacitive scanners are cheaper and smaller than optical sensors, their durability is unknown due to their short time in use, and the small size can make it more difficult for an individual to enroll and authenticate properly. Most fingerprint sensors use direct current (DC) coupling, although a few companies are beginning to use alternating current (AC) coupling to penetrate to the live layer of the skin. Because the capacitive scanner is dependent on the electric field and capacitance between a finger and the glass plate, the scanner cannot be fooled by the �gummi bear attack� as described above; the dielectric constant for the finger is much different from a gummi bear, and so the capacitance will vary significantly.
The most accurate but least common finger-scanning technology is ultrasound imaging. In this type of sensor, two transducers are placed on the x- and y-axes of a plate of glass�one each for receiving and transmitting�for propagating ultrasound waves through a glass plate; when the finger is placed on top of the glass, the finger impedes the waves and the receiving transducer can measure the alteration in wave patterns. This type of scanner is very new and largely untested in a variety of conditions, but initial results show promise for the technology. It combines the large plate size and ease of use of the optical scanners with the ability to pervade dirt and residue on the scanner, an advantage of capacitive scanners.
Touch screens are quite similar to the fingerprint scanners described above. They recognize a finger pressure on the screen and typically calculate the center or peak point of the pressure. Current touch screen technologies fall under five different types of technology: analog resistive, capacitive, infrared, acoustic wave, and near field imaging. The analog resistive, capacitive and acoustic wave technologies are the most commonplace due to their clarity and endurance under a variety of conditions. Infrared is very sensitive to a light touch and may be impractical, while near field imaging is very new, suitable for very harsh conditions, and frequently cost-prohibitive. For these reasons only the first three technologies are examined in much detail. Similarly to the fingerprint scanning technology there is typically an associated software or firmware controller to perform requisite data analysis.
The analog resistive technology is composed of a glass plate and a plastic plate stacked over a flat-panel screen or display. Both the glass and plastic plates are coated with a transparent conductive material, such that the conductive material is sandwiched between the two plates. Tiny separator dots keep the two plates from touching under normal conditions, but when pressure is applied to the plastic plate, the dots move and the two surfaces come together to conduct electricity. An electronic controller instantly calculates the x- and y-coordinates, allowing resistive touch screen technologies to have very high precision and resolution. This also allows an individual to have relative freedom when selecting an object as a stylus; the individual may use a pen, finger, or other convenient utility.
Capacitive coupled technologies require the use of a conductive stylus�this may be a finger, but not a gloved hand because the cloth will prevent the conduction of charge. Capacitive technologies use a flat-panel display with a single glass plate resting on top. The glass plate is covered in a transparent metal oxide on the exterior surface; when the finger or alternate stylus comes into contact with the conductive surface; capacitive coupling occurs at the point of contact and draws electrical current. The controller registers the change in current and the x- and y-coordinates can be determined. As mentioned above, because the technology requires use of a conductive stylus, non-conductive surfaces will prevent the change in electrical current and will not have any effect on the touch screen. Furthermore, the exposed glass surface in this technology makes it susceptible to scratches and can inhibit correct operation of the screen.
Acoustic wave touch screens are more complicated than the capacitive and resistive technologies. There are two types of acoustic wave technologies: guided acoustic wave (GAW) and surface acoustic wave (SAW). Both use a single plate of glass placed on top of a flat-panel display, with a similar transducer arrangement as described above for the ultrasound imaging. GAW screens transmit a wave through the glass panel (using the glass as a waveguide), while SAW screens transmit the wave on the surface of the glass; in both technologies, transducers detect a dampening of the wave that occurs when pressure is applied to the glass, which is translated into x- and y-coordinates. Similarly to the capacitive coupled screens, SAW screens have stylus limitations; the stylus must be soft and able to absorb energy in order to dampen the wave, and are generally only practical in instances where the stylus is a finger. These types of touch screens also have the glass surface limitation described above.
A multitude of single-purpose display apparatuses, fingerprint sensors and touch screens are available commercially. Furthermore, several companies offer commercial products that embed fingerprint-scanning hardware within display apparatus technology. One such example, Ethentica and Philips FDS′ (a wholly owned subsidiary of Philips Corporation) joint venture TactileSense� finger scanning hardware, comprises a transparent optical sensor that can be embedded into a pane of glass. The TactileSense optical sensor comprises a unique TactileSense polymer, a silicon glass camera/CCD, and a control ASIC. The TactileSense polymer is placed on top of the silicon camera, which is embedded within glass to provide hardness and durability. The TactileSense polymer is the heart of the sensor, comprising five layers: insulating, black-coat, transparent conductive, light-emitting phosphor, and base. The insulating and black-coat layers enhance the performance of the sensor by preventing liquid or other particles from entering the sensor, and by preventing sunlight from entering the sensor. The chief layers are the transparent conductive and light-emitting phosphor layers, which serve to supply current to the polymer and to illuminate the fingerprint. When a finger is placed on the TactileSense polymer, the polymer illuminates the fingerprint and creates an image. The silicon camera detects the illumination, and the ASIC converts it to digital format for processing.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,327,376 to Harkin describes a fingerprint sensor comprised of an array of sensing elements. The sensing elements use both capacitive and optical techniques to generate the image; the device is constructed using a transparent conductive material for the electrodes contained within. However, despite the inclusion of the sensor within a display apparatus, there is little discussion of using the display as a touch screen or user navigation interface.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,501,846 to Dickinson et al. discloses a method and system for computer access and cursor control using a relief object image generator. The relief object image generator is capable of capturing a 2-D image based on the 3-D relief of an object, such as a finger. The apparatus of Dickinson's invention can be used to simultaneously authenticate an individual's fingerprint, and move a cursor on a screen or perform other control-related functions related to the movement of the individual's finger. This application is targeted primarily at replacing mice, function keys, and other control mechanisms on devices where space is limited. However, Dickinson does not address use of biometric recognition incorporated with touch screen user navigation.
DigitalPersona also offers fingerprint-scanning hardware that is transparent and can be placed over display apparatuses, marketed as U.are.U Crystal�. This hardware is also comprised of an optical sensor that uses completely transparent materials. It is ultra-thin, enabling it to be placed in mobile or other electronic devices where real estate is a significant concern. Again, however, this product does not demonstrate any of the touch screen properties as exhibited in the current invention.
The invention disclosed herein describes a man-machine interface device for controlling access to electronic devices. The man-machine interface device comprises an electronic display apparatus that is capable of presenting graphic text, images, icons, and other data typically shown on a screen, while further including a transparent finger touch sensor region that is seated above the display apparatus. This finger touch sensor region is responsible for determining the presence and absence of a finger, and is further responsible for generating fingerprint images when a finger is detected. The man-machine interface device also includes a controller unit that is coupled to the display apparatus, the finger touch sensor region, and at least one electronic device. The controller unit is capable of controlling data flow between the display apparatus, the finger touch sensor region and the electronic device, and for calculating finger touch locations based on a fingerprint image generated by the transparent finger touch sensor region. It can receive text from the electronic device, which is intended for presentation on the display apparatus, or conversely send a fingerprint image to the electronic device, among other functions.
The method of the invention describes a process for authenticating individuals and verifying their security privileges to access sensitive data, based on a finger-touch selection of an icon presented on the display apparatus of the man-machine interface device.
The apparatus of the invention is a primary man-machine interface device that incorporates biometric authentication into a touch-sensitive display. Juxtaposing these two technologies provides a simple user interface, and additionally, an economy of space for handheld or portable devices that require ease-of-use along with biometric authentication; devices can use the functionality of a display, control keys or buttons, and a fingerprint sensor, by replacing them with the man-machine interface device of this invention.
Fingerprint scanning typically requires more detail, precision, and data analysis then touch screen technology. The most common use of fingerprint scanning is comparison between a new, �live� fingerprint, and an older stored fingerprint, where the comparison is typically between minutiae points calculated for both fingerprints. This can be used to verify or identify an individual who has already been entered into a system. If the fingerprint scanner fails to accurately analyze a print, the scanner may provide a false acceptance�reporting that the new fingerprint is the same as the old, when they actually are not�or false rejection�reporting that the two fingerprints are different when they are not. However, if a touch screen registers a touch location incorrectly, it is only a minor inconvenience to recalibrate the touch screen and renavigate the user interface.
The primary embodiment of the man-machine interface device 100 incorporates a transparent finger touch sensor region 101, an electronic display apparatus 102, and a controller 103, as seen in
One alternate embodiment of the apparatus 100 is based on optical fingerprint scanner technology, and can be seen in
Another alternate embodiment of the apparatus 100 is based on the ultrasonic imaging fingerprint sensor and the acoustic wave touch screen. This can be seen in
Regardless of the embodiment of the apparatus 100, the controller 103 must be capable of receiving data from a peripherally-connected electronic device and displaying it on the display apparatus 102. The controller 103 must also be able to receive fingerprint images from the finger touch sensor region 101, and to calculate the location of finger touch events from these images. Additionally, the controller 103 is responsible for calculating minutiae points of a fingerprint associated with a finger touch on the finger touch sensor region 101. Any calculated data, such as a location or minutiae, can be transmitted from the controller 103 back to the peripheral device. If required, the controller 103 may be capable of storing fingerprint minutiae points, and/or comparing fingerprint minutiae points. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the location can be determined by extrapolating the center point of the finger touch on the finger touch sensor region 101. However, the algorithmic choice does not fall within the scope of this invention; the location can be determined by any appropriate method.
The peripherally-connected electronic device referred to above is the device using the man-machine interface device. For example, if the man-machine interface device were to be used as a replacement for the touch screen and buttons on a personal digital assistant (PDA), the PDA would be considered the peripherally-connected electronic device. It is responsible for sending data to the controller 103 for display on the display apparatus 102, and for requesting and receiving finger touch data. Additionally, the peripherally-connected electronic device is responsible for maintaining the association between icons or text pictured on the display apparatus 102, and accessing rights for said functions.
The method of the invention provides fingerprint authentication for functions represented by an icon on a display. In the primary embodiment, the method is employed while using the man-machine interface device 100 installed in a PDA, but can be used with other suitable technology; examples explained herein will employ both. The method is intended to replace traditional user interface and authentication methods. For example, the PDA may receive e-mail, which the intended recipient wishes to keep secure. The PDA stores a registered fingerprint for the intended recipient that is associated with the security privileges of the e-mail program. Additionally, the PDA displays an icon on the display apparatus 102 that accesses the e-mail program on selection.
If the function does not require authentication, the PDA directly authorizes access to the function. However, in this example with e-mail, the function does require fingerprint authentication. The PDA examines stored fingerprints, verifying the new image against the stored images (step 607), until a match is found. If a match is found, the PDA determines the security privileges associated with the fingerprint (step 608) and determines if the e-mail function is among these privileges (step 609). If not, the method terminates (step 611); if it is, the PDA allows access to the e-mail function (step 610), and then terminates the authentication method (step 611).
While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. The accompanying claims are intended to cover such modifications as would fall within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.

My stay was pleasant. Boris showed me around and took me to the supermarket to buy groceries as the day I arrived was raining and windy. The listing is very central in Newcastle, close to everything.
Great location! Easy walk to the beach and Darby St. Comfortable room with a great view and Boris was a great host, setting me up with everything I needed for my stay.
I was in Boris room only one night but I feel like at home. Everything clean, friendly mates and expectacular views of newcastle. The best choice to be in newcastle by AirBNB.
unfortunately I didn't meet Boris since he was working in Sydney, but he organized perfectly my stay at his room (thanks for that). And his flat mates were very kind and friendly , too.
The flat is very central located and both beach and shopping areas within walking distances. The room was very clean and has an amazing view.
The place was so clean.. amazing view.. huge room and friendly people
Great place! Friendly people and the house is just as described. Highly recommended
The place was great. Very comfortable and really enjoyed it - great location and the two (website hidden) that were there made me feel welcome.
Boris was very communicative before I went there so was completely up to date when I arrived.
Thanks Boris!
It was really great staying here. The Host and people staying with me were very good, had great hospitality and were trying to help me in whatever they could. The Room looks exactly as shown in the picture, clean and tidy and we are allowed complete privacy. I would definitely stay here, if I had another chance.
Thanks Boris for your hospitality. The room was, clean, centrally located with a lovely outlook and comfortable bed
Thanks Monica and Peter. You are more than welcome to stay when you need it!
Boris was amazing and his place was so nice! So much sun! Thanks!
Muy buena
Perfect guest!
Boris only stayed 1 night, so we didnt talk much but he was very polite and friendly.
I will difinetly recomend him as a guest.
Boris was a great guest. We didn't have to opportunity to meet in person, but he was always speedy with replies, and a great communicator.
He kindly looked after my apartment very nicely, and I'd be more than happy to recommend him as a guest.
Boris was a lovely person to meet and a pleasure to have stay. He left the room very tidy and was a considerate guest. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any host on Airbnb.
Boris and his family stayed at our place for almost a week. The cleaning is not included at our place, however they left the apt dirty. Dishes were not cleaned, things were left on the floor.. Fist time I'm writting this; NOT recommended as a guest.
I do not know whether or not you had a bad day before wrting this, but this is a very UNFAIR comment. You nevet told me about you moving out. Indeed, you told me you would "try" to fix an internet connection for us. Well, apparrently, you did not try very hard.
In addition, I suppose there are different "standards" of cleaning. Maybe we missed a plate, I dont remember. But the place was left in good condition, nothing that could not be resolved by using a vaccum machine. We looked for one, but we did not find any at the place. That is why we could not vaccum and meet Lisa's high standards for cleaning.
Finally, because the renting conditions says that I would be charge a cleaning fee if I didnt leave the place in "immaculate" condition, I thought that any unresolved issue in this matter would be fixed by charging the cleaning feed in my credit card. The latter never occurred.
Boris is a great guest, he stayed for almost a week with his family. They left the apartment nice and clean. Higly recommend them as guests!
GOOD! We can recommend Boris as guest! Thank you for your stay in our apartment!
Everything went well with Boris and he seem's to be a relaxed person. (Unfortunately we never met personally as I was away during his stay)
I enjoyed meeting Boris and his family. He was very friendly and reliable and my apartment was left in perfect condition. I'd happily recommend him again.

Basjoo plants
I have 2 plants that I bought last year, had them in the garden for the year, dug them up and had them inside for the winter.
Over the winter the grew alot indoors, and when I planted them outdoors again this year they seemed to do well, and put on some new growth.
Now for the past few weeks they dont seem to be doing nothing, I hear people say on here that there Basjoo's grow, alot daily, and they are very tall by the end of the year, it dont seem to be growing like that for me?
Any help?
I do water them daily and put fertlizer on the plants, about once a month. What elese can I do???
Are they in a good spot as far as sun goes? I know here in Dallas we have had a problem with too much rain and mine are getting a little water-logged.

Abstract The lysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes was sensitized to visible light (>500nm) by hematoporphyrin (HP) incorporated in the liposomes (0.09-1.5%, wt/wt) or in the external buffer (1-15 μM). The lytic mechanism changed from the Type II pathway mediated by singlet oxygen (1O2) at low HP concentrations to the anoxic, Type I pathway at high HP concentrations. Spectral measurements of HP in aqueous and organic solvents indicate that the HP was not aggregated (monomers and/or dimers) for Type II sensitization and aggregated for Type I conditions. High concentrations of azide (>0.1 M) or DABCO (>0.5 M) were protective with high HP concentration under oxic and anoxic conditions, which cannot involve the scavenging of 1O2. Feasible protective mechanisms are quenching of the HP triplet state by high azide and repair of the damaged membrane by DABCO via an electron transfer process. There was significant protection against lysis under Type I conditions by low concentrations of ferricyanide (>1 mM), indicative of an electron transfer mechanism. The incorporation of 22 mol % cholesterol in PC liposomes with 1% HP had no effect on the lytic efficiency for oxic and anoxic conditions. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes incorporating 1% HP showed negligible photosensitized lysis at 50°C compared with PC liposomes with 1% HP at 25°C. The promotion of photosensitized lysis by hydrodynamic agitation observed in prior work with methylene blue (Grossweiner and Grossweiner, 1982) was significant with HP sensitization for both Type I and Type II conditions. Actinometry with PC liposomes incorporating 1% HP indicated that photosensitized lysis was very inefficient, requiring many absorbed quanta per lysed liposome. Preliminary experiments with crude hematoporphyrin derivative (Hpd) showed similar concentration effects on lytic efficiency, where PC liposomes incorporating 0.1% (wt/wt) Hpd were strongly sensitized by oxygen, whereas sensitization by oxygen was insignificant with 3.1% Hpd. The results with HP and crude Hpd indicate that lytic damage in a biomembrane does not necessarily require oxygenation.

Daybreak Magnolia Pictures
Can anyone post pictures of their Daybreak Magnolia tree? I planted one recently, and worry that it might be better off in another spot. When I search for pictures, all I see are close ups of flowers, but I'm more interested in knowing what it will look like as more of a mature tree and how big it will get. Does it truly stay more of a columnar type tree?
Thanks so much!
It stays columnar. This is one I plan to plant, as well. I have a Magnolia friend, he's introduced a couple to the trade, and he's recommended this tree over and over again and how it will stay 'confined'.
I wanted 'Felix Jury' and this friend of mine stated over and over again that regardless of the zone 5 designation that it's more towards zone 7. Apparently the hybridizers of 'Felix Jury' from New Zealand used a lot of blood from a much less hardy species and I can't tell you which species, however, it's zone rating is completely off (cold tolerance.)
'Daybreak' is according to my friend the best substitute available to 'Felix Jury' and is without question zone 5 winter hardy.
I grew one for several years before it became diseased, the outline of this particular specimen was not narrow. It made it to approximately head high before blighting off, the habit was about the same as many other deciduous hybrid magnolias produce - that is low forking, with branches going out to the side that were as vigorous as the ones in the center.
The site it was planted on appears to have a chronic bacterial blight problem, with various maples also having failed after some time. Sometimes with deciduous magnolias (at least the Asiatic ones) you have to employ a sulfur dormant spray or take other steps to prevent bacterial damage in this area. Pseudomonas likes cool, damp conditions in late summer or fall; plants adapted to hotter growing seasons than we have here are probably particularly susceptible to being invaded, due to hardening of current shoots not having been completed when the weather turns.
Those big lower branches will just keep getting bigger, making the crown wider. Columnar means like a column; not that many trees are actually that narrow, especially in maturity.
As with many other kinds of trees a typical sequence during the life of a magnolia is a youthful phase when the tree emphasizes height increase and then a mature stage where the tree broadens considerably. With forest adapted trees like magnolias this seems a pretty obvious response to competition within a stand of trees, where the dominant need for many years is to get up into the light (and not get crowded out), after which the tree spreads sideways to maximize sun exposure and suppress other trees underneath.
I outta get some Mag rootstocks and graft us 15-30 of that Frank. Get any crossing branches cut out among any others you could sacrifice. That's grafted on either kobus or acuminata.
Ron, regarding those lower limbs, here's right from my friend that breeds magnolia's:
"Magnolia Daybreak is quite complicated it is (M. Woodsman x M. Tina Durio) & was crossed with Blushing Belle M. 'Yellow Bird' x M. 'Caerhays Belle'....The only other advice I can give you regarding Magnolias is do not prune them if
at all possible. ItâÂÂs best to let them make their own shape & allow the lower branches to remain unless they die out or something like that. They do not heal well from cuts either. Also they do not handle drought well; but once established should be fine & applying mulch of course helps."
A year ago this time, I had been probing him about questions related to seeds of 'Daybreak' he had given to me. I suppose the pruning aspect could be interpreted in different ways.... for me, cut, cut, cut! ;-)
Regards my old friend!
Thank you all for the comments! Beautiful picture Frank. How old is your specimen? I think mine should do just fine where it is. I was really more concerned about the shadow it would cast and if I could still plant sun loving plants in its vicinity. I sounds like it will be many years before that becomes a problem, by the picture and bboy's growth habit description.
Dax, thanks for answering my next question. The one I have has lower branches that are almost to the ground. I was wondering if I could prune them, but will leave them and let the tree do its thing. Other than dead branches, are there any circumstances where I should prune it?
Hello Chris,
The main biggie is more than one central leader. I've had instances where I had to remove 1/2 a tree's total mass because it had forked so low and had dual leaders competing.
Instances with all trees starting their journey like that should be dealt with as soon as recognizable. Obviously the most dominant leader with the heaviest bulk or mass of secondary branches is the kept leader.
The same goes for the roots. You should always inspect the full root system before planting and cut any crossing or what is known as "J" roots because of their "J" shape.
There are further instances that get too complicated for the average gardener when dealing with extreme root systems and maintaining "balance" of the mass of the roots and of the wood. Every now and then more advanced pruning to both may be required for either or to support the other component. In these cases you've had to have bought some really screwed up trees from the get-go. I recently learned that a 24" tree I purchased that I lopped off 95% of the root-system off should not have any of its' wood cut back. So take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. What I'm speaking of about balance... I'm talking about removing side-branches and not cutting the leader, ever. And I'm part old school where I know that balancing root-systems with freshly grafted scions of dwarf plants or miniature woodies to seedlings already with the correct mass ratio of wood will require that I pay attention, allowing the scion to develop far enough along, as to over the course of usually a few but sometimes up to 4-5 years, until I remove the seedling above the graft or "working area" so the scion will be able to support the root system & vice-verse.
Crossing branches heading toward the main trunk should be eliminated. Use the correct tool to make a very clean cut, always. Prune at the correct time which is usually late winter/early spring and always while the trees are dormant yet, if you can.
In response to gardener365 IL's comments, here's a picture of the tree I referred to above. Do you think I have the problem here of more than one central leader? The "2nd leader" looks to have been cut at some point. I planted this last fall and haven't pruned anything on it. Any suggestions?
I see a lot of magnolia of this type in our neighborhood. Many have grown into very large and tall trees. So I guess their cultivars must be quite old. The canopy is wide and far reaching. The most massive blooms are in the spring but isolated blooms occur into fall. However, the flowers of those are more purplish or grayish pink, than the one in your picture. Could someone describe how Daybreak stands out as a better choice for pink magnolias? How can one tell a pink or purple one is Daybreak?

CMS poll: Should we switch up school hours?
Should Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools swap schedules so elementary schools start at 7:15 a.m. and teens can sleep an hour or so later?
CMS wants parents and students to weigh in on that question and several others related to school schedules. The district is doing an online survey through April 18, with results to be presented to the school board later this spring.
The surveys were designed with the help of parents and teachers who have been questioning the bell schedules for more than two years, since CMS made budget-driven changes in 2011. Two of those changes – adding 45 minutes to the elementary school day and adding a "late schedule" for some elementary and middle schools – have been especially controversial.
Some families say those changes leave young children exhausted and squeeze out evening time for homework, after-school activities and family togetherness. Buses serving schools that dismiss at 4:15 p.m. are on the road during evening rush hour, critics say.
Meanwhile, other families take issue with the longstanding high schools schedule: 7:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Critics say that's too early for teens to do their best work, while supporters say it leaves time for after-school sports, activities and jobs.
"CMS is open to exploring changes to bell schedules," the parent survey says. "One option is to 'flip' schedules, so that elementary students would take on the high school schedule and high school students would take on the elementary school schedule."
The survey, administered by the consulting firm K12 Insight, seeks opinions on various options and reports on how school schedules affect individual families.
The survey asks families about tradeoffs they would consider acceptable if schedule changes led to increased busing costs. Among the options: increasing class size, cutting staff, reducing the current level of transportation, creating longer bus rides and making students walk farther to bus stops.
Minor changes, such as moving up the 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. schedule by 15 minutes, could be made for 2014-15, CMS spokeswoman Stacy Sneed said. Major shifts would likely be part of the budget and planning process for 2015-16.
Faculty are also being surveyed about school schedules, Sneed said.
The surveys are online at www.cms.k12.nc.us under "Spotlight." CMS and K12 Insight are also doing a general poll of parent satisfaction with the district and their children's schools.

Fruit trees
Hey Yall! I would like to plant some fruit trees in the Lake Charles area. I saw some apple trees at Lowe's but, I just can't believe they would do well here. Am I wrong? I have a Satsuma and Meyer Lemon. I wish I could buy a Mulberry. What would you suggest? Any advise would be appreciated.
Best advice is to always go to a reputable nursery.
They can give you the best information and you probably won't pay that much more for your trees. Like you, I would be leary about apples this far south but with all the new cultivars available I wouldn't be surprised to find one that does well down here.
You will learn that chill hours are most important in finding a fruit tree for your area. Have you looked at peaches, figs and pears?
Go to the LSU AG center website and download the publication " Louisiana Home Orchard". This document discusses the different cultivars, where they will be successful and how to care for them.
Good luck
There are a lot of low chill trees, including apples.
I have 3. Ein Sheimer, Dorsett Golden, and Anna. They are still young and have not fruited yet. They are growing well, although the two hurricanes loosened them in the soil and broke a lot of roots. Katrina pushed them toward the north and Rita pushed them toward the south. I got them from Ganier's Nursery in Houma. The wholesaler was Bracy's nursery in Amite.
I used to know a great gardener (think he's gardening in that great garden in the sky now) who had a lot of various fruit varieties and was very successful. We tried Anna and the poor little thing got so confused--she would bloom in September and get frosted before the fruit ripened. Seems when they don't get enough chill (and this was twenty or so years ago when we actually GOT a little chill!) they go dormant in the heat of the summer and then think it's spring when it cools off a bit. But there are varieties, he said. Wish I could ask him!
Here's the thing with most fruiting trees, We have almost no winters these days, So most trees such as apples, plums, peaches, and any other in that group need what is called chilling hours (hours below 40 degrees to rest) Figs are Tropical they dont count! If you are looking for good apple trees for the south that first would be Ein Schimer(bred in Isreal for the hot climate) Self pollinater so if you had room for only one this is a good choice. Anna is another low Chill apple that needs a pollinator. If you have an Anna with no apples you need another apple tree to pollinate it. I have both and also FuJi that makes small apples and Golden delicuis that has made no apples. My Ein Scheimer is loaded again this year as the past 2 years. Planted in the ground 6 years ago and almolst wiped out with Katrina and Rita!
Hey sarahsaid,
You should make a trip over to Bantings in River City (south of N.O.). Last time I was there they had a good selection of fruit trees including pawpaws. Link is below.
Coyote Creek, north of St. Francisville has had mulberry in the past. http://www.coyote-creek.net/. If they don't have it in stock, they can likely order one for you.
Cleggs and Louisiana nurseries in BR typically have a good selection of fruit trees.
I have two Ein Sheimer apples in my edible landscape which are doing great. Planted one last year and one this early spring. Kumquats (both sweet and sour) do excellent as well as satsuma and mandarine oranges. Planted a lime this spring too along with 3 Meyer's lemons. All of my citrus trees are loaded with fruit thanks to my two Italian honeybee colonies in the backyard.
Japanese plums also do excellent down here, although this spring they flowered too early and got hit by a freeze, so no fruit this year. I like the Bruce plum the best. I was away on a border security project, so I was not around to cover them.
Prunus angustifolia var. gunthrie has produced lots of plums for me the last few years. You likely can't find this one in Louisiana, but you can get them from a nursery near Atlanta, Georgia: Nearly Native Nursery: http://www.nearlynativenursery.com/
In September or October you should go to the Hilltop Arboretum plant sale in Baton Rouge. You can usually find a number of fruit trees plus stuff the usual nurseries don't sell. This year's date will likely be posted on this forum.
Sounds like you also need a colony or two of honeybees. Nothing better than fresh honey from my honeybee hives and a bowl of blueberries from my blueberry shrubs!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Bantings Nursery
Mulberries grow from seed.I found an old wild mulberry down here in Kenner, I planted three fruits in a medium sized plant pot. Last year, I had to transplant the now seven foot tall result into a medium sized TREE pot. Fruited this year, but my feathered friends assumed I did it for them and gleaned all the berries before they even came close to ripening. I am planning to try it up on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. I hope it WILL succeed, as the old tree has been destroyed by rezoning.
Lowe's usually sells only what will grow in the area where the store is located.
I bought my apple tree, a yellow delicious variety that's self-pollinating, from Sam's Club, it survived an attack by a neighbor goat. Now fully leafing, many branches, about 6-7 feet tall, no sign of fruit yet, but it has only been in the ground since last spring. I'll let you know how it does.

I definitely agree that's playing into it, good call. The depth also has kept Skjei off of special teams for the most part (especially PP). I'm not going to be shocked either way with him, it comes down to camp.
Ultimately you're most likely going to have Reilly, Skjei, McCabe, and Seiloff fighting for 2 spots. You can make a case for any of them.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Golden Notebook (Paladin Books) (Paperback)
As Doris Lessing discusses in her own introduction (new for this edition), her best-known and best-selling novel has been viewed as being "about" various things: the battle of the sexes and man's inhumanity to woman; mental health; the difficulties facing left-wing politics following the failure and collapse of communism. As she herself points out, there is a definite irony in this, given that her central theme and premise was the need to see things as a whole and avoid compartmentalising different aspects of our lives (love life, family life, political life, work life etc. etc.). This remains a startling idea: what Lessing is essentially saying is that it is just this sort of compartmentalising that allows an otherwise kind character to be a shameless racist (there is a prominent example in the Black Notebook), or an operative of a totalitarian regime to commit acts of genocide then go home to a peaceful family dinner.
At the novel's opening, the life of Lessing's central character - (ex-)novelist Anna Wulf - seems hopelessly fragmented. Afflicted by writer's block, Anna pours the narrative of the various traumas of her life into four quite separate compartments: the Black Notebook relates to her "work life" as a writer; the Red Notebook her "political life" as a lapsed and disillusioned member of the British Communist party; the Yellow Notebook her (lightly fictionalised) love life; and the Blue Notebook her everyday existence. In all four areas, things grow increasingly desperate until Anna's mental health seems in serious question. However, it is only after what amounts to a "breakdown" followed by re-synthesis of her life as a whole in the eponymous Golden Notebook that Anna can really achieve mental and moral wellbeing.
It is a startlingly honest book, particularly for its time, and it is easy to empathise with Anna's plight. Lessing writes beautifully (particularly in the dark-hued and intensely nostalgic African sections of the Black Notebook), and throws off ideas and philosophical digressions like fireworks.
The book has undoubtedly dated a little, particularly in the ever-thorny area of sexuality and gender politics. As noted by another reviewer below, Anna's attitude to her gay lodgers is a tad dubious: it's fair enough to criticise them for being bitchy and misogynistic (they are!), but surely not for failing to be "Real Men"? Similarly, Anna not infrequently expresses (via her fictional alter ego in the Yellow Notebook) a somewhat unreconstructed craving to be sexually "Swept Away" by a "Real Man" (whatever one of those is) - while she clearly doesn't mean some sort of macho schmuck, this does jar a little nowadays. In part this is connected to Lessing's fascination at the time with a rather mystical version of Jungian psychoanalytical theory, with its ideas of "animus and anima": this was very trendy at the time (it crops up in the writing of Robertson Davies and Iris Murdoch, for instance) but seems less relevant nowadays. It is also worth remembering that Lessing was writing in the very early Sixties, well before the days of Shere Hite and Nancy Friday, and that her views on sex and sexuality were in fact very progressive and unexpectedly honest for the book's era. The novel's central theme (the need to live life as a whole) remains startling and compelling, and overall there is no question that this is a five-star read.

Superb reviewing. Lessing is a patchy writer. This is the book where she comes closest to using her strong literary gifts with courageous truth and honesty. Every woman should read this book.
