US 5163737 A Resumen The cushion has a contoured base with a layer of resilient cushion foam thereover. The cushion foam is of uniform thickness over a substantial part of the base and is suitably covered. The shape is such that the buttocks of the seated person are clasped positioned rather than supported. A recess is provided under the ischia, under the trochanters, and beneath the sciatic nerves to limit the local pressure. In one configuration, these recesses may contain air bladders which are inflated by body motion against a back bladder in the cushion. In another embodiment, the various bladders may be sequentially pressurized to shift the bearing areas under the buttocks of the seated user in order to periodically lift the user for stimulating blood circulation.

Descripción The localized pressure limiting seat cushion is particularly suited for those who are sedentary for long periods of time, for example, wheelchair users. The cushion limits pressure where it is most harmful and shifts pressure to aid circulation. There are some persons who are sedentary for long periods of time. A particular class of these persons are those who use wheelchairs. Those who are confined to wheelchairs become emaciated in their lower extremities so that they are further subject to discomfort, fatigue, pain, and ultimately ulcers. There has been a multiplicity of contoured chairs, cushions and seats which have been designed to improve the comfort of those persons required to sit for long periods of time. Doctors have been troubled with the problems of patients who spend long periods of time in wheelchairs. Those patients who have emaciated lower extremities or paralysis often have little sense of feeing in their posterior, and consequently cannot determine when inadequate circulation is leading to deterioration. Pressure problems initiate at the points on the posterior where the bone structure of the seated patient is close to the supporting surface, such as is in the case of the ischial tuberosities and trochanters. Previous attempts to solve these localized pressure problems have not recognized the importance of proper weight distribution across the surfaces of the gluteal region, and particularly maximum and minimum surface pressures over the various areas. While these concepts are particularly useful for wheelchair users who may have emaciated lower extremities and/or limited sense of feeling in the posterior, these concepts are also useful for others who are sedentary for long periods of time. In order to aid in the understanding of this invention, it can be stated in essentially summary form that it is directed to a localized pressure limiting seat cushion, and particularly a seat cushion which has a contoured surface for support of a seated person wherein the contour is such that the buttocks are clasped, the thighs are clasped, and there are recesses under areas subject to higher pressure to reduce the pressure therein to a limited value. The recesses may include fluid bladders which ca be pumped up to a limited value or sequentially pumped up to shift the load on the different regions of posterior to encourage subcutaneous blood circulation. It is, thus, an object and advantage of this invention to provide a cushion to support those who are sedentary for long periods of time in a manner which is not detrimental to their skin condition, by providing proper support and proper pressure relief in selected areas. It is another object and advantage of this invention to provide a static cushion wherein the buttocks are clasped rather than merely supported to provide force vectors on the sides and back of the buttocks to leave the ischia partially unsupported. It is a further object and advantage of this invention to provide a cushion with contoured areas which have a clasping effect on the thighs. These areas have a relief declivity beneath the sciatica, thus allowing more of the weight to be distributed to the thighs. This design provides more even weight distribution than conventional seating without sciatic distress and inhibits forward motion of the buttocks to hold the buttocks in place. It is a further object and advantage of this invention to provide a shaped recess under the ischia to provide adequate support to avoid hemorrhoid formation, but with low enough pressure to avoid ulceration. It is another object and advantage of this invention to provide a cushion and a process by which the pelvic position and lumbar-sacral position can be controlled to reduce particular areas of posterior pressure for the seated patient to retard bony displacement of soft tissues to thus reduce both local pressure and pressure gradients to provide a unique cushion of superior comfort and limitation of distress. It is a further object and advantage of this invention to provide bladders in the cushion, with a back bladder pumping air into the other bladders and with a pressure relief valve to avoid overpressure whereby the bladders are pumped up by motion of the seated person. It is another object and advantage of this invention to provide a cushion wherein each of a plurality of bladders positioned for clasp and support is sequentially pressurized to change the pressure against the body by these bladders so a to promote subcutaneous blood circulation. Other purposes and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a study of the following portion of the specification, the claims and the attached drawings. FIG. 1 an isometric view of the first preferred embodiment of the cushion of this invention, with contour lines showing surface contour of the cushion. FIG. 2 is a partial center line section taken generally along 2--2 of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged section through the upper surface of the contoured base, the resilient cushion foam and the covering thereon. FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the pneumatic connection of the second preferred embodiment of the cushion of this invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram which, when considered in conjunction with the table in the specification, shows the elevation of the heights of the various portions of the surface of the cushion. FIG. 6 is an enlarged detail showing the ischial area of the cushion. FIG. 7 is an isometric view of a second preferred embodiment of the cushion of this invention, showing it also equipped with a backrest. FIG. 8 is a pneumatic diagram showing the sequencing of the various bladders beneath the cushion surface. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the first preferred embodiment of the cushion of this invention where it is generally indicated at 10. The cushion 10 has a substantially rigid contoured base 12, which is seen in partial center line section in FIG. 2. The cushion and base are symmetrical about a vertical plane on the front-to-back center line, which in the back portion of the cushion is the plane of the section of FIG. 2. Base 12 may be structured in any convenient way. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is substantially square in plan with a right side 14, front 16, back 18, and bottom 20. The top 22 of the contoured base has a contoured top surface 24, which has the critical contours and recesses therein to provide the desired support contour. As seen in FIG. 3, the top 22 is a structural member. It carries a contoured foam layer 26 of uniform thickness, preferably about 1/2 inch in the preferred embodiment. The foam cushion layer 26 is of upholstery foam material which is considered to be closed cell foam, but it is only partially closed cell foam. A preferred material is EV acetate. In order to protect the foam layer 26, it is covered with a flexible polymer upholstery layer 28 resembling a synthetic leather, such as "Naugahyde®." In order to provide washability, the outside layer 30 is a stretchy synthetic polymer fabric layer which slides freely over the "Naugahyde®" to reduce shear forces and which is removable for washing. "Lycra®" or nylon are suitable when provided as an elastic knit fabric. The surface contour is critical. In addition to the criticality of the surface contour, there are recessed areas over the cushion which have a different, softer pressure so as to provide selected areas of reduced pressure on the posterior of the user. The surface contour is critical, and the location of the pressure reducing recesses and the pockets is critical. The surface contour is defined by the position chart 32 in FIG. 5, which shows the locations of various points on the seat. Center line 34 is seen in FIG. 1 and in the lower left of FIG. 5. This cushion, as seen in FIG. 1, is symmetrical around the center line 34. Therefore, only one side of the contour shape of the cushion need be shown in FIG. 5 because the other side is symmetrical. In FIG. 5, the lower left-hand, zero-zero corner is at the front edge of the cushion at the center thereof. The columns represent lateral measurements from the center line, and the columns are 1 inch apart. The rows represent measurements back from the front edge of the cushion and are also in 1 inch increments. In certain areas, to define the contours at the critical areas, dimensions are in 1/2 inch increments. Table 1, given below, represents height in inches above a horizontal reference plane.

In the first preferred embodiment of the cushion of my invention, the sciatic area 36 and trochanter area 40 are recesses below the adjacent general contour, while the ischial area 38 comprises a pocket. Referring to FIG. 2, ischial pocket 42 is formed by a recess in the top 22. The pocket has side walls and a bottom 44. As indicated in FIG. 2, the bottom 44 of the pocket may lie against the bottom of the seat base. Within the pocket, there is an ischial cushion 46 which comprises an open cell foam which completely fills the pocket. The foam cushion layer 26 is cut out at the ischial pocket and the ischial cushion extends up through the cut-out area. The foam of the ischial cushion is of such strength as to apply a pressure in the ischial area of about 25 mm of mercury when compressed. This pressure is high enough to prevent extrusion of tissues into the ischial pocket, but low enough to permit circulation below the ischial tuberosities in order to avoid ulceration. In this way, the pressure is controlled in the ischial pocket to provide necessary support to avoid extrusion into the recess and yet limit the pressure so that ulceration in that area is avoided. The size of the ischial pocket 42 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 where the center line through the pocket is the center line 34 and the transverse center line 43 is the 11 inch line. The sciatic area 36 and the trochanter area 40 also have reduced pressure thereon by means of the contour of the top 22 of the cushion base. The reduced height in these critical areas reduces the local surface pressure on the seated person. The sciatic recess 36 is seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, and both recesses are shown when Table 1 is used to refer to FIG. 5. As a second preferred embodiment of our invention, the base 12 has a back recess below the surface 24 which forms a pocket 48, which is positioned behind the lower back. From the pocket 48, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is apparent that the seated person's lower back is positioned adjacent thereto. The foam cushion layer 26 may extend over the recess. Within the recess is a back cushion 50. The back cushion 50 is open cell foamed synthetic polymer composition material, which is available for upholstery purposes. The cushion is enclosed in a flexible film cover 52, which encloses the cushion. The film cover may be any substantially air-impervious synthetic polymer composition flexible film, such as vinyl. In this case, the ischial cushion 46 is also covered with a substantially impermeable flexible polymer film, such as vinyl. Both of the cushions have tubes attached thereto. As seen in FIG. 4, ischial tube 54 is connected to ischial cushion 46. Back tube 56 is connected to back cushion 50. FIG. 4 shows the interconnecting tubing, which includes an intake check valve 58 connected to delivery tube 60. The delivery tube 60 is connected by a tee to back tube 56. Delivery tube 60 is connected through check valve 62 through tee 64 to relief valve 66. Ischial tube 54 is also connected to the tee 64. By this construction, as the sedentary person moves on his cushion, the back cushion 50 is compressed and released. As it is released, the foam expands the envelope to draw in air through check valve 58 and tube 56. As the seated person moves back, he compresses the cushion 50 expelling air which passes through check valve 62 and pressurizes ischial tube 54. In this way, the ischial envelope is expanded. In order to limit the maximum pressure in the ischial envelope, relief valve 66 limits the pressure in the ischial envelope to 25 mm Hg in order to provide support under the ischial tuberosities sufficiently high to prevent extrusion and sufficiently low to prevent ulceration. The ischial cushion 46 remains in the ischial envelope for the case where there may be inadequate pumping or there may be air leakage, to maintain the minimum pressure on the ischia. By this construction, the pressure under the ischia varies between the minimum and maximum limits in order to stimulate circulation under the ischia. The third preferred embodiment of the cushion of this invention is generally indicated at 70 in FIGS. 7 and 8. A base 72 has a contoured top surface with the same contour. The contoured top surface is covered with foam, an impermeable layer, and a washable layer, the same as that described with respect to FIG. 3. The base contains therein an ischial bladder 74, an outer thigh bladder 76, and an inner thigh bladder 78. These bladders are symmetrical on both sides of the central plane. Each of the bladders is formed of two layers of flexible impermeable synthetic polymer composition film, such as vinyl sheet. The bladders are sealed together around their peripheral edges so that each is in the form of a flat envelope that lies on top of the base surface and under the cushion foam or on top of the cushion foam. They take substantially no space in the uninflated condition. Each of the bladders is pneumatically connected. Referring to FIG. 8, air compressor 80 supplies air through air-sequencing valve 82. The function of the sequencing valve 82 is to sequentially connect pneumatic lines 84, 86 and 88 alternately to air pressure at a controlled value and to exhaust. The connections are sequential so that the bladders are successively pressurized and exhausted. In this way, the bladders 74, 76 and 78 successively raise and lower their corresponding areas. It is to be noted that the outer and inner thigh bladders are respectively inward and outward of the sciatic area so that the thighs are clasped and raised to limit pressure in the ischial area. As seen in FIG. 7, the ischial bladder 74 is the same shape as the ischial bladder in FIG. 6, but the outer thigh and buttocks bladder 76 extends farther forward and backward around the outer contour of the cushion than the trochanter recess 40. Outer thigh bladder 76 provides trochanter relief, but additionally raises the thigh to limit pressure in the sciatic and ischial area. Pneumatic lines 84, 86 and 88 respectively connect to the ischial bladder 74, the inner thigh bladder 78 and the outer thigh bladder 76. Back support is also helpful, but it is optional to the contoured cushion with its pressure-limited bladders. As seen in FIG. 7, back 90 is pivoted on base 72 on pivot pin 92 so that the back angle can be adjusted. The back is retained in the desired back angle by straps 94 and 96, which are secured at their upper ends to the back and their lower ends have provisions for adjustment. In the illustrated case, the adjustment is the placement of different holes in the strap over a pin extending from the base. It is also desirable to have a two-piece back. As indicated, the lower back is pivoted on pin 92. The upper back is pivoted on pin 98, which also anchors the top ends of the straps. The upper section 100 of the back 90 can, thus, be pivoted independently of the lower section and secured in place by clamp knob 99. This permits individual adjustment for optimum support of the lower and upper back. The pivot pin 98 is preferably at approximately the height of the top of the hip bones. The lower back has three cushions 102, 104 and 106 thereon. In addition, the upper back 100 has three back cushions 108, 110 and 112 thereon. Each of these cushions is an envelope or a bladder of flexible air-impervious film, such as flexible synthetic polymer film, for example vinyl. Each preferably contains therein a hemi-cylindrical rod of open cell foam to maintain some cushioning in the event of air pressure failure. The flat side of the rod is toward the back. These rods maintain a generally hemi-cylindrical configuration of the back cushions. The back cushions lie adjacent to each other and comfortably support the back due t the resilient open cell foam therein. In themselves, they are comfortable back support. However, each of the cushions is connected to one of the pneumatic lines 84, 86 and 88, as shown in FIG. 8. Thus, the back cushions are sequentially pressurized and vented to provide a variation in pressure over the various portions of the user's back. This stimulates circulation in the back. By means of properly contouring the cushion, relieving areas where equal stress may cause trouble, but maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent extrusion damage, a cushion which can be used for a long period is created. This invention has been described in its presently contemplated best mode for a large wheel chair. The measurements in FIG. 5 together with Table 1 relate to an 18 inch square cushion size which is commonly defined as large. The ratios relative to sizes for a small wheel chair (a 14 inch cushion), a medium wheel chair (a 16 inch cushion), and an extra large wheelchair (a 20 inch cushion) are to the most extent simply scaled proportionately. It is clear that this invention is susceptible to numerous modifications, modes and embodiments within the ability of those skilled in the art and without the exercise of the inventive faculty. Accordingly, the scope of this invention is defined by the scope of the following claims. Citas de patentes

PMID: 12424629 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Nine cases with glandular odontogenic cysts (GOC's) are presented bringing the total number reported in the literature to 54. Our study confirmed that most GOC's occur in the mandible, whereas maxillary lesions present only in the globulo-maxillary region. The radiological features were found to be non-distinctive and presented as well-defined radiolucencies with uni- and multilocular appearances. Most of the mandibular GOC's were unilocular, involved the symphysis region and only one extended into the ramus. All GOC's larger than 6 cm in diameter showed perforated margins radiologically. Our two multilocular GOC's demonstrated microscopic features supporting their infiltrative radiological appearance. The invasive clinical and radiological features of GOC support the notion of a possible histo-pathologic overlap between GOC and low-grade central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jaw. |

Chapter 6 Summary
After dinner, Newland Archer retires to his study. He sits at his desk and studies a picture of May Welland, his intended. She looks so beautiful and innocent. He is feeling unsettled because the arrival of Ellen Olenska has stirred up feelings he would rather not think of.
Newland had longed believed, against society, that women should be as free as men. As they entered into marriage, his wife was to forget about his past with other women, and he was supposed to be secure in the fact that his new bride had no past at all. But, he was aware of their many differences. May was not brought up with a love of literature and travel as he was. Of course, Newland was trying his best to teach her so that they may have stimulating conversations. She was also not nearly as advanced as he in...

Problem recording "what you hear" on Win7Pro 64-bit
Likes # 0
Posted June 1, 2013 at 11:10PM
Whilst Googling my problem I noticed a knowledgeable reply on here to a different audio problem so am hoping that the expertise is still around :)
I have successfully recorded webcams on 4 different note/netbooks running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32- and 64-bit, which I think all had Realtek audio - but now:
Dell Precision M4400 notebook || Windows 7 Professional 64-bit || IDT High Definition Audio Codec
There is no StereoMix from which to record "what you hear", therefore RecPlayback has to be used. This means that if I lower or mute the volume coming from the internal speakers (so's to watch TV or listen to radio whilst the recording continues) the sound on the resulting recording also has low or no volume.
I "solved" this temporarily by plugging an external speaker into the headphone socket and using its volume control, but I do not want to use an external speaker.
Things tried:
-Attached clip-on USB speakers, then I get no sound at all.
-Ordered a USB sound card, it's in the post and I've now discovered that it will only operate with external speakers (scream!) why didn't they say that in the reviews I read?!
I have been advised to try "Virtual Audio Cable" but I see that the developer says "VAC behavior is similar to "What You Hear" (or "What U Hear", "Stereo Mix") feature of Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy cards. But it is only similar, not equivalent. If you simply need a function like "Stereo Mix" under Vista/Win7, it could be better to try to enable it in your audio adapter". The link he supplied was a Google search that is defunct.
In summary, what I want to do (as I could when my sound card had StereoMix) is record from the notebook's speakers and be able to adjust the volume in the room without affecting the volume on the recording.
I do hope someone understands what I'm getting at and can put me out of my agony :'(

Dell, IDT, Stereo mix... as you have found out it's not there :( it's going to take some hunting to find one.
I had this problem and eventually found the one mentioned on Dell forum and it works for me, but I have XP not W7

Unfortunately XP is a pussycat compared to Win7, from what I have gathered. I may try again to install the old driver though, maybe I didn't do it quite right the first and second times!
I've installed VAC and found a very clear 'tutorial' on YouTube but it's for gamers to record game and own voice simultaneously, so he's linking sound input to VAC, I want to link output. Every time I adjust the procedure to speakers I lose sound altogether, but I haven't given up.
Thank you Lotvic, I appreciate your response :-)

Have you tried the modded drivers from http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/144-idtsigmatel-support/
I've got W7 on my alternative boot harddrive for this dell, haven't tried to sort the stereo mix out yet, but your thread has given me a nudge to get on with it.

Thanks lotvic. Didn't scroll down that far as it seemed to work for some. It's definitely finding a compatible driver, issue. Had similar problem with Win 7 but finding a Realtek alternative driver was easy compared to this.

rdave13, I agree and this problem has always annoyed me with my Dell pc. Ancient IBM Thinkpad has no such problems and works with Audacity for Stereo Mix.

Thanks for all your replies. Yes, Lotvic, we have met before, is it pathetic that I can't let this go? Guess what, I've plugged the speaker back in ;-)
Just for info, I use Debut Video Capture to capture video and sound.
What is so galling about this is that my other Dell (Alienware) Windows7 laptops had StereoMix and they are newer than the Precision, so I had no idea that the problem existed and I set my heart on a Precision because of the HD display and sturdy nature of the machine. Thank goodness I didn't fork out even more £££ for the M4500!
I may have a retail copy of XP Home Premium in a drawer somewhere, but that seems drastic and what if it causes problems with network? Thinking aloud.
Lotvic, if you do get around to sorting it, and could tell me how so's I could understand, I would be SO grateful :-)

Thank you, Bryn, but that's for RealTek, the problem is with IDT High Definition Audio Codec.
Michael Marley said, re the driver he created, "These drivers should support the Rec. Playback (aka. Stereo Mix, Analog Mix, What U Hear, etc.)" - well, we know that RecPlayback does not equate to StereoMix, because you lose sound on recordings if you mute the speakers with RecPlayback but not with StereoMix.
Also the links are defunct on laura kk's post. But I have already tried to install a Sigmatel driver, failed. I may try again but had problems with leftover something-or-other, did a system restore to fix it.
Just letting you know that I am following up suggestions, so you don't think you are wasting your time on me ;-)

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev congratulated the U.S. President Barack Obama on the Senate ratification of New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
During a telephonic conversation, the two leaders agreed that this was an historic event for both the countries and for U.S.-Russia relationship, the White House said.
Mr. Medvedev has just returned from his trip to India, while Mr. Obama is spending his year-end vacation in Hawaii.
The telephonic conversation between the two leaders comes in the wake of the Wednesday's Senate ratification of the New START, under which the U.S. and Russia have agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenal to 1,500.
"President Medvedev congratulated President Obama on the Senate's approval of the new START Treaty, and the two leaders agreed that this was an historic event for both countries and for U.S.-Russia relations," the White House said.
Mr. Obama said the two leaders had a very productive year working together on new START, as well as Afghanistan, Iran sanctions, the 123 Agreement, issues related to the WTO, and the situation in Kyrgyzstan.
Obama also underscored the importance of the U.S. and Russia working together to support a peaceful referendum in Sudan and a resolution to the impasse in Cote D'Ivoire that respects the results of the recent democratic election, the White House said.
The two leaders wished each other a Merry Christmas, and pledged to continue their close partnership in the New Year.

Conor Malaney leaves his job smelling like roses, but the cuts and scratches on his hands tell a different story. The 18-year-old is one of Valentine's Day's unknown heroes.
Malaney, a senior at Hickman High School, is among many part-time workers hired by florists around town to perform the not so glamorous, yet important, task of dethorning roses.
Malaney is part of a seven-member, rose-dethorning team at the floral shop My Secret Garden. After the final school bell rings, he's been hurrying to the shop all week to help dethorn roses until almost 11 p.m.
"It's a lot of work, but it's not too bad," he said.
Dethorning proves a painful art
Malaney's co-worker Natalie Sharp, 23, said the task of dethorning is an art in itself.
"We go along the side of the rose using a knife and individually remove each of the thorns," Sharp said. "The number of thorns on each rose depends on the variety. Dethorning the roses makes it easier for the florists so they can quickly make arrangements."
Because roses are fragile, each rose has to be individually dethorned by hand. The task is tedious and the dethorner has to be careful not to scar or bruise the stem. Since the workers dethorning the roses can only use their bare hands and a knife, the job can be painful.
At My Secret Garden, the crew has been working since Monday to dethorn 2,000 roses for Valentine's Day.
"I definitely have a lot of battle scars," Malaney said.
"The job itself isn't that hard to do, but there's no way around the scratching and sticking," Sharp said.
Florists dethorn to boost quality and safety
Ruth LaHue, owner of My Secret Garden, said dethorning roses is important for more than just customer safety.
"We want them to be dethorned so that when we are making the arrangements, the thorns don't tear the other roses. It's more of a quality issue," LaHue said.
At Allen's Flowers, extra workers are hired for holidays, but Sandra Ferguson said dethorning roses is considered to be part of the overall arranging process for floral designers.
"If our customers take care of their roses properly, they will take them out of the vase, cut off the bottom of the stems, put them in warm water and arrange daily," Ferguson said. "Dethorning the roses makes them easier for our customers to handle." Jay Stawarz, executive director of the International Cut Flower Growers Association, said that although thornless varieties of roses are available, they are not any more popular than varieties containing thorns.
A thorny issue
"When you want to enhance one quality or trait of a rose, you often have to take away another," Stawarz said. "With all of the breeding that has been done to roses to get rid of things like thorns, I've noticed that you also lose a lot of the fragrance."
Although many florists choose to dethorn their roses, Patricia's Floral Shop only does part of the rose.
"We only dethorn the bottom of the rose or the part that goes in the water," Nita Roberts said. "Why take off the thorns? The beauty of the rose is the thorn."
Whether you prefer roses with or without the thorns, there are plenty of locations to find the perfect rose for Valentine's Day.
In Columbia, the cost of a dozen red roses varies. At the Wal-Mart Supercenter a dozen costs $26.84. At Kent's Floral Gallery the cost is $85, and at My Secret Garden the price is $117.99.

Celestino Fernandez writes… "I simply ask the listener or the reader to imagine for a moment Vincent de Paul, an elderly man, speaking to us about the memories of his heart and doing so as a type of indelible witness. Once again then he opens his heart to us like a father who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old (Matthew 13:52).
"I am going to explore the heart of Vincent de Paul, in light of its broadest meaning and symbolism, … I am going to reflect on Vincent's existential relationship with the poor.
Jesus of Nazareth has told us: from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks(Matthew 12:34). In other words, the heart is the source, the strength, and the cement of the human person. This is clearly evident in Vincent de Paul.
- A heart that organizes, plans, discerns and denounces… A heart for the poor that has an exclusive option, a special sensitivity, sees sacramentality of the poor, the poor as our "lords" and a heart that interprets and analyzes events from the underside of history
The following outline traces his path.

Etiquette of hitting at the net player in doubles

Although this play wasn't challenged in any way, I think some opponents would probably protest if it happened too often. This protesting could be used as a tactic.
What is the done thing at high club level?
Sort of depends on how soft is "soft". It is correct to punish poor second serves to the point where either the netman moves back to the baseline on second serves or the server hits higher percentage (easier) first serves or hits harder (more likely to DF) second serves. If those things aren't happening, you aren't punishing the second serve enough.
Of course "etiquette" is quite varied, that is, never underestimate the chance that some random individual will have the capacity to get their nose out of joint for any ol' reason. You can't regulate that. You can predict it and you can make the choice to have the preknowledge change your behavior, but that is your choice.
From a strictly logical standpoint if you tag the netman he should be angry at either himself for not going to the baseline, or his partner for the powderpuff serves.

Randi and her family were a pleasure to have stay at our apartment. They left the place very clean and tidy, just as we left it. Would love to have them stay again in the future.
Randi and Craig were just adorable to have stay. Warm, affable and engaging are the first words that spring to mind. Communication was easy, and they showed great respect around the house. We shared dinners, drinks and laughs in a super relaxed way as if we'd known each other for years! Fun company and highly recommended. Plus, she left us flowers and a 'thank-you' note on her departure.... who could ask for more?! Welcome back anytime :)

Thanks for the compliments guys.I read over 30 reviews on these tires from people all across Canada and they all raved about how great these things are in the snow,i also liked hearing that they are pretty quiet on the highway compared to most MT tires.Funny thing is i could have bought the 285s for 4 $s less per tire.
I know!! Same load range and everything.I would have bought them but i was afraid i would have rubbing issues like you did and i need to crank my wheel alot as my parking space is tight and the back lane is narrow where i live.It has also been bloody cold here the past 2 weeks (- 40 celsius) so the last thing i need is to have problems and be under my truck in that kind of weather.Once these are done,i will be buying 285s,but i'll make sure i put them on in the summer.
I really lke those GY's so I am going to want an update once they are installed and how you like them after a couple thousand miles. The more I look at these they kind of remind me of my old DuraTrac's mixed with the GY Authority. Are the Territory's only for Canada?
They are made exclusively by Goodyear for Canadian Tire (where i purchased them from)I tryed to find them on the Tire Rack site before i purchased them,then found out from the saleman at Canadian Tire that they are only available in Canada.I will let you know what they are like after a thousand kilometers,but that may take awhile as my truck only has 9,000 Kilometers on it (5,600 MILES)since i purchased it in september of 2009
Your truck came with 245's from the factory? Aren't those a bit small for a half ton pickup or did mine just come with upgraded tires when I bought mine?
I was told by GM that they will switch between 245s & 265s on the 17" rims often,so yes my truck came with 245s from the factory.

Convert m4v in Lion 10.7? iTunes to DVD
I have bought a movie for the first time in iTunes. Well, little did I know that you couldn't make a dvd out of it. I have a 27" I7 iMac. It has the 10.7 Lion installed. I have tried some software like wondershare and several others, and it doesn't seem to want to even recognize the movie to start the conversion process while in the 10.7 OSX. Has anyone had any lick doing this in the new Lion system?

If you bought a movie from iTunes, there is not a legal or maybe even not a possible way to burn it to a DVD. The movie file is encrypted in Apple's FairPlay digital rights management technology.
If it wasn't, Hollywood would not even allow apple to sell or rent movies or TV shows. Blame Hollywood and their slow to adapt business models. The problem is that it easier to pirate movies to use them in any way you want, than to actually buy them. Hollywood 1.0 didn't learn from record industry 1.0, therefore piracy is becoming larger for films than music. At least with music from iTunes we can burn a CD. Movies to DVD, not so much. Movies are still locked to their ecosystems, iTunes locked to iOS and iTunes Macs and PCs, google movies locked to web browsers and android, amazon movies locked to web browsers and limited hardware devices. None of these services will allow your to burn a movie to a DVD. It's unfortunate when someone like yourself tries one of these services than BOOM, I can't what I wanted with a movie that cost just as much (or more) than at best buy. The download instant gratification and convience is overwhelmed by the frustration and inconvenience of limited playback options. Edit: At least you have a nice 27" screen to watch the movie. Also, you can burn the movie to DVD as a computer file, as backup or to move it to another Mac/PC with iTunes. It will not playback on a regular DVD player. It will also play on iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads, which can be connected to a TV. There is also the AppleTV if you have compatible hardware. Last edited by spacepower7; Jul 27, 2011 at 01:32 AM.

Googling for "iTunes decrypters" or the like only pulls up applications which perform the exact same task. There's definitely a tool out there that can break iTunes encryption, as episodes of TV shows direct from iTunes show up from P2P groups every week, I'd really like to find out what it is.

As already said, there's no way to do this. People have tried everything they could think of. But, thus far, Apple and the film studios are winning the war.
I'd say your best option is to get an Apple TV. I've always found that no matter how big the computer screen is, I don't fancy watching stuff on there. The room in which computer is isn't meant for watching films. Whereas the rooms with TVs have nice sofas etc. And the TV screen's bigger than my computer screen. Also, now Front Row's gone in Lion, watching films isn't really as refined I don't think on the computer. An Apple TV's $99, and that let's you play your iTunes library. Plus, you can stream your photos, watch Youtube and check what's on in cinemas. The new TV is really zippy as well, so no problems there.

I agree, with the new releases of the OS and the new Itunes out, the software companies might have to update before it can be used again. Until then, if anyone finds something, it would be great if they would let me know.

May 18, 2009 Australian premium pet products company, Pets Palace, is launching a range of natural mineral water for dogs. Even more remarkably, the top-of-the-line sparkling natural mineral water named Bellaqua comes in handmade crystal bottles, encrusted with jewels no less, and costs AUD $42.50 (USD $32) for a box of four, plus delivery. For cheapskates who don't really love their faux children, there are four cheaper, non-sparkling varieties of Pet Pop, coloured, flavoured still mineral water which sell for AUD22.95 (USD $16.90) for a box of four.
Pet Pop is available in four flavours - Luscious Lulu, Lemon Lola, Candy Pop and Betty Blu. "Pets really are one of the family," says Pets Palace spokeswoman, Diane Costa. "We treat them and spoil them as if they were our children. It's just as much fun to put a dog in a cute sweatshirt as it is a child." The change is visible in our shopping centres. Pet stores are crowded with treats, toys and doggie fashion. Supermarket shelves are lined with premium foods boasting a high nutritional content and a range of ingredients that would tempt a human palate. "Once upon a time a can of dog food smelled and tasted like, well, chopped liver," says Diane. "Now dogs can dine on 'fresh garden vegetables, slowly cooked with tender lamb chunks in rich gravy'. So why not offer them a decent drink to wash it down with?" Both Bellaqua and Pet Pop are available from Pets Palace and can be shipped internationally.

Animals As Leaders -- May 24th, 2014 -- Columbus, OH
Venue: Skully's Music Diner
source: a photo of a setlist I took after the show I got to the show in the middle of Conquering Dystopia's set. Two things that held me back were: 1. Parking sucks. 2. I have two small children and I had just seen Crowbar the night before so leaving the house was difficult. Conquering Dystopia kicked ass. I was hoping for physical copies of their album at the show but no such luck. I asked Jeff Loomis about that and he said it's because he is signed to Century Media, he is not allowed to release CDs elsewhere. I got his autograph on his Zero Order Phase solo album. I also got a picture with Alex Webster and Jeff, which is quite metal.

The Follower Phenomenon: Implications for the Design of Monopolization Rules in a Global EconomyJorge PadillaCompass Lexecon Michal S. GalUniversity of Haifa - Faculty of Law Antitrust Law Journal, Vol. 76, No. 3, 2010 Abstract: Laws are oftentimes modeled, at least in part, on those of jurisdictions with established antitrust regimes, a trend we call "the follower phenomenon." Follower behavior might involve a transplant of a legal rule, its interpretation, or both. This article analyzes the main causes of the follower phenomenon in antitrust and its welfare effects, both on the following jurisdiction and on the followed one. It argues that the proliferation of one's antitrust prohibitions can sometimes act as a boomerang, negatively affecting the welfare of the followed jurisdiction as well as third jurisdictions. This boomerang effect can result from three main causes: (a) the limited ability of the followed jurisdiction's domestic firms to monopolize or cartelize foreign markets due to stricter antitrust policies of the following jurisdiction based on a correct following of the followed jurisdiction's antitrust prohibitions; (b) the abandonment of neutral or procompetitive conduct by firms based in the followed jurisdiction (or trading in it) due, for example, to increased costs resulting from parallel and often similar regulation in several following jurisdictions; and (c) negative externalities resulting from increased error costs due, for example, to the misapplication of the followed jurisdiction's complex rules in following jurisdictions with limited institutional capabilities. Based on the above findings, we then propose ways for the followed jurisdiction, as well as for other jurisdictions, to increase the positive externalities and limit the negative externalities resulting from the follower phenomenon. We suggest that under certain circumstances the followed jurisdiction could anticipate the follower phenomenon and modify its choice of optimal rule to account for the boomerang effect. Less extreme methods are also explored, such as aiding and directing less experienced jurisdictions in the correct application of their antitrust laws.

Before the Missouri softball team left to face No. 3 national seed Alabama in an NCAA Super Regional series this weekend, Missouri coach Ehren Earleywine said his team had already accomplished an important goal.
"Every year you try to take one more step with your program. Last year we went to the regional final. Now this year we're moving on out to the super regional, and who knows where we go from here," he said.
The Tigers, it turns out, will go home for the season after their series with the Crimson Tide, losing 7-1 Saturday at the Alabama Softball Complex in Tuscaloosa, Ala., in the second game of the best-of-three series. The team lost 6-1 to Alabama on Friday night.
The Crimson Tide will travel to its fifth College World Series in nine years next weekend in Oklahoma City.
The losses mean the end of the softball careers of Jen Bruck and Amanda Renth. The seniors, whose names are now scattered throughout the MU record book, will leave as two of the best players in program history, leading the school past the regional round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in 14 years.
The rest of the Missouri roster, though, including seven freshmen who found themselves in the starting lineup this season, most games four or five at a time, will return, making the rest of Earleywine's plan seem plausible.
"Hopefully next year and the year after we keep snowballing it because eventually the goal here at the University of Missouri for softball is for us to be a regular at the College World Series and to be a Big 12 champ and win national championships," Earleywine said. "As long as you're making positive strides toward that every year, that's really all you can do."
Bruck started Saturday's game for the Tigers and did not allow a hit in the first two innings of the game, but two walks and a single in the third inning led to a grand slam by Alabama starter Charlotte Morgan.
"I really think that was the momentum shift and the changing point in the game. Had that not happened and we had attacked and made the plays we were supposed to make, I think we would have had a little bit different scenario there at the end," said Earleywine in a release.
As they did in Friday's game, the Tigers scored their only run of the game in their final at-bat.
Andee Allen, who was 2-for-4 in the game, led off the bottom of the seventh with a single and later scored on Marla Schweisberger's second RBI of the season.
Bruck (17-10) got the loss for the game. She gave up all seven earned runs in four innings.
Renth was 1-for-3 in her final collegiate game. Her only hit came on a single in the bottom of the fourth inning. Renth, who plans to attend graduate school at Missouri, will serve as an assistant coach for the Rock Bridge softball team next season.
The Tigers finished the season with a 47-17 record, which is seven more victories than the team earned last season in Earleywine's first season at the school.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Take a Walk With the Twins
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer took their twins out for a walk in Venice, CA, yesterday. The couple welcomed the new babies in September, though they have yet to release their names. Following their birth, Stephen spent time with his oldest daughter, Lilac, and was spotted shirtless during a day at the beach with her. The growing family recently had another reason to celebrate, since Stephen turned 43 last month. In addition to their roles as new parents, Anna and Stephen will continue their working relationship now that True Blood has been renewed for a sixth season.

Definitely more damage and more ammo. But it depends on the weapon. For example:
I can't tell the exact amount of damage, as there are no references to the car hit points or weapon damage. There's not much difference between levels, but it is significant between first and last levels. It would be great to have more complete stats in this topic. |

It has been recognised that there are large differences in the working practices of safety teams amongst the highway authorities of Great Britain. This study was undertaken to assist the development of short courses in safety and accident analysis for (amongst others) road safety staff and traffic engineers. The main objective of the study was to discern differences in working practices between three different kinds of highway authority. The study also enabled University and local authority personnel to work together to identify more precisely the teaching objectives in certain proposed courses in safety; and to identify and provide appropriate course material, within the overall aim of making such courses relevant to a wider range of audience.

Home Storage Friday is a bi-monthly series about food storage and wise, purposeful living.
I believe that slowly building up stores of food, medication and money, enough for at least 3 months shows prudence, forethought and self-reliance.
Having these resources will give you peace of mind and prepare your family for both good times and lean.
Hello friends! Warm welcome to the Little Acre that Could, and the first 'Home Storage Friday'; a series of essays on family preparedness. I hope this series will help us be motivated to seriously think about starting anew, or to improve on our present food storage preps.
First a secret; I've never had long-term storage. I used to believe I did, but nope. I have come to think I have misinterpreted that term for years.
While reading forums it became clear that I wasn't alone. It also became clear that if I wanted to succeed at this food storage thing I would have to find a way to have it make sense to me.
The 3 categories are...
MEDIUM-TERM and
Maybe, unbeknownst to me, this explanation has already been done, but I haven't stumbled on it in my travels around the net. Therefore, I like to think of it as original. Of course there's no such thing as an original thought, but a girl can dream.
Keep in mind that these 3 categories eventually blend into each other because in a store-what-you-eat, eat-what-you-store world medium-term and long-term food storage become short-term as things are constantly rotated .
It is another world because it's a new way of thinking. When you choose to keep food storage in your home it is on your mind almost all the time ... almost. It has to be at first. How else will you remember to rotate your food, buy in bulk when you find a good deal and set time aside to vacuum pack food?
Short-term, medium-term and long-term food storage; what do they mean to me?
I like to think of it as the types of food that our grandparents of generations ago would have kept in the root cellar for a winter. Of course, living in century 21 we have the advantage of using store-bought equivalents for everything that I've listed, if we choose to.
There is more, but I don't think we need to list it all right now. Besides, I'm not sure I know about them all myself, yet! These foods are stored in dry packed #10 cans or Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers (except sugar and salt), and they will last 5, 10, 20, and 30 years - even more in some cases.

Does anyone re-blue their 1911 (non-collectible of course) or other blued pistol regularly or even sometimes?
If so can you recommend a type of finish that holds up well to regular holster and handling wear and a reputable company for such work. Pictures are welcome. |

Refinishing any gun is not to be taken lightly.
The most durable (and expensive) finish is nitriding. The second most durable is industrial hard chrome. |

Hard chrome works well, but it to will show use over time. It does pretty much eliminate the rusting problems.
My old blued Commander lasted about a year in in leather holsters before rust did it in. I had it hard chromed, and switched to a kydex holster, and it went another 10+ years of daily use and practice, with minimal rust and wear. No matter what, if you use it, its going to show it. This is the Commander above. The black streaks are actually mirror polished chrome.

I have cold blue a 1911 it was one that pieces together someone before destroyed the finish. So I striped it and blued it with Birchwood cold blue kit. It holds up ok but you have to keep it oiled or it will lose its finish.

Do you know the story of Sisyphus? Don't store it in a holster. Wipe it down everyday with a soft cloth embedded with Eezox, silicon, or other protectant. Let your gun develop a little character.

Seems like a real chill dude just having fun everyday, really living the dream. Also, must be noted he has the bike flip on absolute lock. Unreal looking trick.
