I've used it before and I like it. I'm using it this cycle with Clomid. I don't usually have an issue with low CM, but it is a common side effect of Clomid, so I'm using it just in case. :)

and Ivy (stillborn at 40 weeks 3.13.12)
I swear by it. We tried for 9 long months before getting pregnant with our angel daughter, and the month we used preseed is the month we finally got pregnant. I've used it since, and it worked for my early loss, and also for this rainbow baby.
I use it as a lubricant and not how it says with the messy applicators. I can't imagine that hubby would be able to feel anything if you use all that. Trust me, a little goes a long way. It's just nice being able to feel good when you're doing the deed so much, since the every other day method can definitely leave our lady parts sore! ;-)
Oh and I picked mine up on Amazon for cheap.

First time I used it I was on clomid and got my BFP. I used it again this month and hoping to get my BFP tomorrow...if so, then I'll probably totally swear by it! I agree w/ liloregonbug, a little does go a long way esp if you use the applicator. I'd start w/ 1g first and see if you need more. I got mine at Target. Hope it works for you and you see a BFP very soon.

1. Cut Avocado in half. Remove pit and discard. Scoop out each half and chop into small pieces. As seen in the video, cut a small slice off the back of each half of the avocado, so they will sit in place and be used as little "bowls".
2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Fold carefully to incorporate but not mash all ingredients.
To serve: scoop large portions into each empty avocado half.

First patients enrolled in multinational randomized, double-blind brain metastases trial
YM BioSciences recently enrolled and treated the first two patients in its multinational randomized, double-blind trial evaluating nimotuzumab plus whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) to WBRT alone in patients with brain metastases from NSCLC. The trial is designed enroll approximately 88 patients over twelve months followed by a twelve-month follow-up period and will likely include 12 investigational centers in Canada plus additional centers in other countries. The patients were enrolled at the L'Hopital Maisonneuve-Rosemont in Montreal, Canada.
Nimotuzumab (200 mg IV infusions) will be administered weekly during radiotherapy and following radiotherapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or at the discretion of the physician. Radiotherapy will consist of 30 Gy, in 10 fractions of 3 Gy/day. Patients will be assessed by laboratory tests, imaging studies, standardized neurologic examination, and neurologic symptoms. The primary efficacy endpoint is intracranial disease progression over six months. The secondary endpoints are overall survival (OS); time to neurologic progression (TNP) or death with evidence of neurologic progression; OS rate at six months; time to intracranial disease progression; and time to overall progression.
"This randomized, double-blinded, multicentric trial was based on a randomized pilot open-label trial from which encouraging, preliminary results were presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR "Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics" meeting held on October 21-24, 2008 in Geneva.

Ryan Howard expected to return from disabled list Friday
Jul 5, 2012, 10:59 PM EDT
UPDATE: Ryan Howard confirmed on his Twitter account that he will rejoin the Phillies on Friday.
Excited to be back in Philly tomorrow.—
Ryan Howard (@ryanhoward) July 06, 2012
Read more details regarding Howard's return on CSNPhilly.com.
10:30 PM: According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, Howard is now "likely" to be activated from the disabled list tomorrow to play against the Braves.
5:32 PM: Ruben Amaro and Charlie Manuel spoke to the Philly media today, and the news nugget of note is that tonight might be Ryan Howard's last rehab game. Or tomorrow night. Point is, Howard's time in the minors is almost over and he could be in Philly as soon as this weekend. Here's Ryan Lawrence from the DelCo Times:
Ryan Howard is scheduled to play nine innings at first base at Triple-A Lehigh Valley tonight. There's a possibility his next game will be in Philadelphia.
Prior to the Phillies game in New York Thursday, manager Charlie Manuel said Howard will be re-evalauted following tonight's game with the IronPigs. He didn't rule out a return this weekend for the former MVP.
Amaro added that he thinks Howard is ready, but that they have to see how he does tonight.
It's worth noting that Howard hasn't played back-to-back games in the field since beginning his rehab assignment. He will tonight and tomorrow, however.
Offensively speaking, Howard has been fantastic, going 8 for 17 with a homer, two doubles and nine driven in.

That photo still makes me laugh…
- dkphilly1122 - Jul 5, 2012 at 10:37 PM
Howard's in the Phillies lineup tomorrow night against the Braves. Hopefully him and Utley start sparking like old times.
- 78mu - Jul 5, 2012 at 11:53 PM
Good luck to him.
- schmedley69 - Jul 6, 2012 at 12:25 AM
Unfortunately, Howard's rescue of the Phillies is about as timely as the Carpathia's rescue of the Titanic. The ship has already sunk.
- leerosenthall - Jul 6, 2012 at 8:07 AM
Yes, that little stool is looking a lot like a deck chair in need of rearranging. I imagine the boys waxing nostalgically for 2011 vintage Ryan Madsen as the ship is going down.
- dirtyharry1971 - Jul 6, 2012 at 4:36 PM
I hope Howard put on 50lbs since we last saw him, i want to see him blow up into a bigger balloon then he already is
- foreverchipper10 - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:10 PM
Looks like I will get to see him play tomorrow. Can't wait to get booed by all the Phils fans whilst I walk around sporting Braves gear.

As Sebelius, Lew and Geithner Hit Capitol Hill Today, New Ad Reinforces Importance of America's Skilled Nursing and Rehab Facilities to U.S. Jobs, Economic Activity
Skilled Nursing Sector, Nation's 2nd Largest Health Facility Employer, Employs 1.7 Million and Generates Over $200 Billion Annually in Economic Activity
NY, CA, OH, TX, FL, PA Top List as Local Employers
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jacob Lew and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner visit Capitol Hill to brief key House and Senate budget panels on the Administration's FY 2012 fiscal blueprint, the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care today began running a new ad (available at www.aqnhc.org) urging lawmakers to keep in mind that America's skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities employ 1.7 million Americans, generate over $200 billion annually in national economic activity, and that FY 2012 Medicare funding stability is essential to sustaining the sector's role as the nation's second largest health facility employer.
"Medicare funding adequacy in the final FY 2012 budget is not just central to our sector's ability to sustain seniors' access to quality care, but it is also fundamental to creating more good local jobs and a stronger economic recovery," said Alan G. Rosenbloom, President of the Alliance. "Medicare is more than just a key national health program; it serves as a cornerstone of rural, suburban and urban economic vitality." The ad will run in DC policy-focused publications this week and rotate into state capitols throughout February.
A new 50 state study related to the ad finds that in New York State, the skilled nursing sector generates $21.35 billion in annual economic activity, and employs 141,151 New Yorkers; in California, the sector generates $17.86 billion in economic activity and employs 117,090 Californians; in Ohio, the sector generates $13.13 billion in economic activity and employs 106,356 Ohioans; in Texas, the sector generates $12.73 billion in economic activity and employs 98,700 Texans; in Florida, the sector generates $11.63 billion in economic activity and employs 95,007 Floridians; in Pennsylvania the sector generates $11.76 billion in economic activity and employs 82,737 Pennsylvanians. Data from all 50 states is available at www.aqnhc.org.

Filipino-Nigerian a Bayern vital cog
THE UEFA Champions League final between German clubs Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in London Saturday night drew millions of television viewers worldwide, making it one of the most watched sports events in the world.
And as Bayern celebrated its 2-1 victory in an enthralling final for the title in the most prestigious club football competition in the world, there was a fleeting moment of pride for the Philippines when cameras caught one of Bayern's vital cogs, David Alaba, carrying the Filipino flag.
Born to a Filipino mother and a Nigerian father, Alaba, however, is not eligible to see action for the Azkals.
Austria, the country where he grew up, saw his immense potential as a 17-year-old and gave him his first senior cap four years ago, shutting the door on any chance for him to play for the Philippines or Nigeria.
His triumph with Bayern in the Champions League is listed as one of the biggest accomplishments by a footballer with Filipino roots.
The possibility of missing out on a player with Filipino roots close to Alaba's quality was one of the reasons why Azkals coach Michael Weiss had been extensively scouting in Europe.
A leftback for Bayern, which also lifted the German Bundesliga title in dominant fashion this season, Alaba is equally adept at playing key attacking roles. He forced a superb reflex save from Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in the 75th minute when the match was still at 1-1.
The Bundesliga is the same league where Azkals standout Stephan Schrock plays in. In fact, Schrock and Alaba played against each other last March when Bayern faced Hoffenheim, swapping jerseys after the match as a friendly gesture.
Alaba was instrumental in Bayern's success, scoring the first goal against Italian giants Juventus in the quarterfinals a minute into the match, making it one of the tournament's quickest goals.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Two whackos, male and female, entered a CiCi's Pizza and ambushed two LVMPD officers eating lunch. After assassinating them, they stole their guns, ammo and reportedly one officer's body armor. The pair walked across the street to a Wal-Mart where they began to shoot the place up. They were engaged by a male with a CCW who put up a good fight but was shot and killed. Responding officers were met with a fusilade of shots. The couple realized they were surrounded so they retreated to the warehouse area where she shot he and then shot herself in a suicide pact.
Scary as that is, the pair were heard shouting "tell the cops the revolution has begun!" WTF?
A year ago undercovers infiltrated a subversive group out here. They discovered a plot whereby a police officer was to be kidnapped and tortured. The suspects, a man and woman BTW, were seen to actually drive around town scouting Metro's patrol cars looking for a victim. The decision was made to end the UC op and take the couple into custody. They were RELEASED at the preliminary hearing for "lack of evidence".
If this proves to be connected to that prior incident I will be absolutely, incandescently, Pee'd.

No matter how out of sorts vampire Bill Compton has been acting on "True Blood" recently actor Stephen Moyer is definitely getting the opportunity to flex his acting muscles. And those aren't the only muscles he's flexing. Moyer recently stepped into the director's chair to helm episode 56 "Somebody That I Used To Know".
MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with Moyer for a quick chat about directing his first "True Blood" episode, the highlights of which he said involved two scenes with co-stars Sam Trammell and Alexander Skarsgård.
"Something big happens for Sam, um, so I had some amazing sequences with Sam that were quite difficult to orchestrate, so that was a lot of fun," Moyer said of the Luna shifter body switch-a-roo that went down. "And [there was] a beautiful scene that I wasn't in with Alex that I was really pleased with and the other person who was working with him that day [Allan Hyde, a.k.a. Eric's maker Godric], showed up, they both showed up, and it was really cool."
Moyer went on to say that he was delighted with the entire experience, particularly the discovery process of finding unexpected nuances in scenes that didn't initially stand out in the script.
"It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop, and something that you think is going to pop, maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might," Moyer explained. "But I would say that on the 19 days that we shot my episode, there was one day that kind of went, 'Aw that wasn't quite [what I planned],' but that's not bad, I'll take that ratio any day."
So what is the most satisfying thing about directing versus just being the actor?
"I shot a couple of short [films] before and you're always walking around going, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could have a crane in this moment? Wouldn't it be lovely if we could steady-cam through here and do that or whatever,' so I'd be sort of saying that out loud in the show," he recalled of his planning phases. "And [the producers] are like, 'You can have it, you can have whatever you want.' And it was like 'Oh my god,' it's like being a kid in a toy shop, you know."
What do you think of Moyer's hand at directing? Let us know in the comments!

They moved me to another hotel because they over booked. I would stay away from this hotel.
The pool and the maids were very nice
the night staff was rude. And no dresser in room to unpack
My wife has special nutritional needs w/ Celiac Disease (Gluten Intolerance). The Waldorf Staff did a truly extraordinary job of making our stay a comfortable and very safe one with her nutritional needs.
There are nightclubs on the city side of the building, and even 12 floors up, the bass frequencies from the music came right into our room until early into the morning. Request a ocean view to avoid these sounds on the weekends.
not much.
a lot.
poor a/c
ice machine didn't work and had not worked for some time but nobody cared to fix it.
safe in room didn't work.
no facecloths in room
many machines in casino didn't work.
We checked in on Saturday night and there were a bunch of ladies that were going with the American Men up to their rooms with very short skirts. The floor smelled like dirty feet and the air conditioner did not work. We moved to another floor that was "cooler" but the A/C still did not work to American standards.
Exactly what I need for business.
Very modern and spacious rooms in the heart of downtown Panama City. Breakfast buffet was the best! Better than all-inclusive resorts.
The location of the hotel in the heart of the financial district.
The staff was very inattentive and unfriendly.
The hotel is in a great location. Very close to Calle Uruguay
Nothing bad to say!
Staff was terrific. Everyone really made me feel welcome
The food was ho hum except the steakhouse which was fantastic.
The breakfast was great. It's a nice clean modern hotel.
Unfortunately when I booked my reservation, my confirmation email did not state that the hotel would request additional money of no less than $200 to place a hold on my credit card. The lady was friendly enough and placed only$100.00 on hold however when I returned back to the hotel, an additional $100.00 was authorized by the hotel without my permission. And unfortunately, when you call the U.S. number/toll free number their only suggestion is to incur international calling fees and call the hotel directly. Also I did not like how the hotel advertises a FREE SHUTTLE to and from the hotel, only to find out that the shuttle is for their corporate guests only. That information was very misleading and was a big factor in why we booked with this hotel. The shuttle cost is $32.00 roundrip per person. Also they ask you for your room number or make you write it on your receipts in just about everywhere you go...I.E. the bar for drinks, one of the hotels restaurants, the night club, and for breakfast in the morning. I suggest you get a statement of your charges during your stay. We were charged tip for drinks to our room and we tip our servers cash!!! Also, the bathroom in our room had a terrible sewage smell!! JUST BEWARE!! I WOULDN'T STAY HERE AGAIN!! It was too misleading for me! They don't tell you all this stuff when you're booking the room.
The view and location.
Slow service in the restaurant sometimes.
The staff was friendly, the location was good , walking distance to most other hotel / casinos and the metro was right around the corner.. Also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The free wireless was good . The only negative thing is that they need to replace the rugs in the hallway .
Very clean room.
Kudos to Wendy and Gustavo, they were excellent.
I wanted to acknowledge a server also, but I do not remember her name. She is short, worked in the mornings at breakfast time serving the coffee. She has very black hair, and a great smile always, kudos to her.
Supper, the food served at that time did not meet my expectation.
They need to improve on that.
Great breakfast buffet though.
I can empathize with the guest that was assigned a room next to the linen closet. I think that we got that same noisy room.
The room and bathroom were clean and upscale! The pub and restaurant were excellent. i loved the touch of cold bottled water and a chilled wash cloth at check-in.
One elevator is out of order and the other was heavily used by hotel staff....wife and i walked stairs three times in four day stay! pub staff moved so slow to any request! Hotel driver ripped us off with huge fee for short ride.
It's a very nice new hotel with great views. The rooms are very spacious. The staff was very courteous. Will definitely stay again
The hotel elevator signage is confusing in addition the room light switches are a bit confusing too.
It is very secure, comfortable, and offer great breakfast. Beds are extremely good as well. Shower, the best I have seen.
The room was OK, everything is new.
It´s a small hotel but a good place to stay for the price and location.
The service is poor, they did not clean my room one day.
I went to a supermarket to buy some water, etc because there is nothing in the mini bar and when I asked the guy at front desk where can I find some ice he said it was only a service on till 10pm.
And they need more variety of food at breakfast.
The room was comfortable, the grounds were well kept and the service was good.
The dinner buffet on the night of the 4th was limited and not up to Westin expectations.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Composer: Freeway.
|Recording information: G Koop's Crib; Goin Federal; MMP Studios; The Pharmacy.
|It must mean something that a rapper whose debut sold over 500,000 copies on a major label needs to move to an independent label to release his third album. Yet such is the case for Philadelphia's Freeway, who signed to indie stalwart Rhymesayers (home of Brother Ali, Atmosphere, and P.O.S) for The Stimulus Package, a record that barely resembles the label's others albums, and features verses from Raekwon, Beanie Sigel, Bun B, and Birdman, and, in fact, whose only sign of the Minneapolis imprint is full production from Jake One, who also contributed a track to Freeway's 2007 Def Jam release Free at Last.
|Rhymesayers is clearly going for the mainstream hip-hop crowd that's grown tired of the infrequency of quality releases coming from the majors, but isn't quite ready to embrace backpacker status. And The Stimulus Package, in fact, is the perfect album for this transition, a smart yet hard-edged record that stays with you. Much of this is due to Jake One, whose production credits range from G-Unit to Strange Fruit Project, and whose versatility allows Freeway room to focus on his rhymes without having to worry about the constraint of his flow. (The rapper is clearly aware of Jake's talents, as well: the album starts out with him telling Beanie Sigel to "let the beat breathe," and the producer plays a starring role in the narrative of "Freekin' the Beat.") But Freeway himself more than holds up his own end, contributing lines that are as good as anything he's done ("I got 99 problems but my rhyme is not a problem," he says in "One Foot In," a sly rip on his former label) -- his nasally, Ghostface-esque voice blending well with Jake's beats as he rhymes about everything from religion to hip-hop to sex to his own abilities to snitching to his fans. "Stimulus package" here doesn't refer to money, at least not -- despite the packaging -- more than superficially. Sure, Freeway doesn't shy away from talking about cash, but even when he does, he's talking about more than that. "Money," featuring Omillio Sparks and Mr. Porter, is less about getting rich than just paying the bills, and in "Follow My Moves," while Birdman offers a relatively weak verse listing brand names and expensive items, Freeway addresses the idea of wealth with more nuance: "This is Birdman, and Philly Free, we are eating, getting money off of words man/Come a long way from flipping birds man," less interested in the final result than by how he got there. The Stimulus Package is, in fact, at least as Freeway explains it in "Stimulus Outro," about "all the fans giving this love and now we giving it back." But it's also a much-needed jolt that hip-hop -- both mainstream and indie -- needs, about bringing the best of both sides together into something that everyone can unite behind. ~ Marisa Brown

Artist Overview
One of the few who has worked with both superstar 50 Cent and underground hero MF Doom, Seattle-based producer Jake One spans the hip-hop spectrum. Born Jacob Dutton, he got his break while attending the University of Washington. After dropping off a tape of beats to his favorite record store, his productions landed in the hands of fellow producer Mr. Supreme. When Supreme began his Conception label, Jake was hired to produce Eclipse's "World Premier," a Pete Rock-influenced cut that would land on J-Rocc's 1998 mix Walkman Rotation. A steady stream of work followed, with 2003 being a monumental year. In 2008 he helmed his own debut album, White Van Music, released by the Rhymesayers label. ~ David Jeffries

Get 2 tank tops with a decent lycra content. If you use different colors it will be reversable. Put them together, right side to right side, one inside the other. Cut them straight across, just below the arm holes. Sew the raw edges together. Turn right side out. Press flat at new seam & sew again on the "right" side so it stays put. Sew the bottom hems together.

Modeling and Simulation of Biosensors
- Romas Baronas,

- … show all 2 hide
Biosensors are analytical devices in which specific recognition of the chemical substances is performed by biological material. The biological material that serves as recognition element is used in combination with a transducer. The transducer transforms concentration of substrate or product to electrical signal that is amplified and further processed. The biosensors may utilize enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, organelles, plant and animal tissue, whole organism, or organs [1–3]. Biosensors containing biological catalysts (enzymes) are called catalytical biosensors. Biosensors of this type are the most abundant, and they found the largest application in medicine, ecology, and environmental monitoring [4, 5].
The action of catalytical biosensors is associated with substrate diffusion into biocatalytical membrane and its conversion to a product. The simulation of biosensor action includes solving the diffusion equations for substrate and product with a term cont ...

1. Field of the Art
The disclosed art relates to new systems and methods for providing advanced functionality in DVDs.
2. General Background and State of the Art
Today's DVDs currently have a main menu system which offers the user several options, such as making selections for what content to view on the DVD, as well also other functionality. The main menu is usually displayed when the DVD is first inserted into a player. The user can choose to view the main features, or other additional features available for viewing. The user may also be able to select various options such as audio, language, or screen size settings.
Generally, if the user desires to make a selection from the main menu, for example, to change an option during playback, playback is interrupted and the user is returned to the main menu to make the selection.
The present disclosure provides a user friendly navigation scheme to media and media players. The disclosure provides for a menu system that overlays the video on a DVD, and can be viewed and selections made during viewing of a video stream. The system and method applies to media players, including but not limited to DVD players, software DVD-ROM players, high definition video players, hard drive based players, optical players, personal computers, or any other media player known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
The menu system may offer a plurality of options to the user. For example, the menu system may offer menu options normally available from the main menu screen of a DVD. In one embodiment, a user interface is provided to the user for selecting from a plurality of scene selections available within the media. The user is able to scroll through the scene selections, perhaps viewed as thumbnail images, during and without interrupting playback of the media. Once a scene is selected, the media player automatically plays the selected scene.
In another embodiment, the menu system may include functions to control playback and features of the media.
The menu system in accordance with the present disclosure also provides additional features and functionality not previously available in DVDs.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides for video playback devices such as DVD players, High-Definition video players, and PC DVD-ROM's with the ability to play back multiple video streams simultaneously on the same screen. The size, cropping, zoom-level, position, layer and aspect ratio of these video streams can be dynamically and independently controlled either by user input or by programmatic means.
The present disclosure expands the concept of picture-in-picture on video playback devices, such as DVD and High-Definition video players. The video player in accordance with the present disclosed art can play back multiple video streams simultaneously. The placement, aspect ratio, cropping, scale, transparency, tint, contrast and cropping of these video screens within the video output device can be set or adjusted arbitrarily. Furthermore, the sound mixing for each of the audio tracks accompanying the video streams may also be set arbitrarily. All of these variables can be dynamically changed during playback through either automated or user-initiated means.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the disclosed art as claimed.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects, other than those set forth above, will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description. Such description makes reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the art disclosed may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known features may have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the art disclosed.
The present disclosure provides a user friendly navigation scheme to media and media players. The disclosure provides for a menu system that overlays the video on a DVD, and can be viewed and selections made during playback/viewing of a video stream. The menu system may offer a plurality of options to the user. For example, the menu system may offer menu options normally available from the main menu screen of a DVD. This may include selecting scenes from the media without interrupting playback of the media.
In another embodiment, the system and method add on-screen menus to control playback and features of the media. For example, controls such as play, fast forward, rewind, pause, etc. that are normally found on a remote control would be displayed on-screen and be selectable by the user. Therefore, the menu system provides an alternate method of controlling playback of media from the standard remote control. The system and method apply to video players, including but not limited to DVD players, software DVD-ROM players, high definition video players, hard drive based players, optical players, personal computers, or any other media player known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
In another embodiment, the user may guide a cursor around the video screen using a remote control, mouse, keyboard, joystick, or any other device known to one of ordinary skill in the art for directing a cursor on a screen. The cursor can be used for selecting menu options. Selecting may comprise clicking, highlighting, scrolling, and hovering. The cursor may also be utilized for relocating or resizing a window in the display. The cursor may appear as an arrow or any other shape. In one embodiment, the shape of the cursor relates to the theme of a movie. In an alternative embodiment, the cursor may substantially highlight an on-screen button or video.
In another embodiment, generic menu items may be used. In the case where menu items are not provided within the media, the embedded software may use pre-stored menu items that would allow the user to navigate the contents of the video media through an on-screen guide. The CPU 115 may retrieve from non-volatile memory 180 generic menu items. Once the menu items and graphics necessary to control and navigate the media are loaded in memory 170, the CPU 115 would then map the contents of the media to the menu items and build an appropriate menu to navigate the contents of the media. The CPU 115 is then ready to act upon the selection of the menu options. After loading of the menu items, the CPU 115 automatically starts playing the video in the media. The user may select to invoke the available menu options if desired.
The available menu options may be invoked in different manners. In one embodiment, the CPU 115 displays a selectable menu icon. If the menu icon is selected, the CPU 115 retrieves the menu items and corresponding graphics from memory 170 and displays a list of available menu options. Once the user navigates the contents and features of the video, the user may select the menu icon again to remove the menu items being displayed on the screen. The user may select the menu icon, navigate the contents of the media, and select the menu icon again to remove the menu on the screen, while at the same time being able to continue watching the video. The user may select the a menu option through the use of a mouse or any other device that allows control of a cursor on the display 120. The mouse connects to the media playback device through a user input 160 is connected to the CPU 115 so that the CPU 115 recognizes the commands entered by the mouse.
In another embodiment, the user may invoke a menu option by depressing a button on a remote control. The remote control enters data to the CPU 115 through a user input 160. If the appropriate button on the remote control is depressed, a list of available menu options is displayed. The user may then navigate through the video and the menu options while the video is playing. The user is able to continue this activity while the video is still playing in the display 120.
In another embodiment, menu options or other selectable items in the video may appear automatically as part of a command by the embedded software within the media. For example, for scenes that have been provided with multiple angles, the video may trigger an automatic menu showing options that if selected would allow the user to view the video the scene in a selected alternate angle.
In another embodiment, an automatic menu may also appear if the video is streaming a section where the movie may take an alternate ending, or an alternate plot. Once the section in the video with an alternate plot is showing, an automatic menu would be displayed showing the possible alternate endings. The streaming of the movie would continue unless the user selects one of the options.
In another embodiment, if an item is for sale online, a menu would automatically be displayed along with options for purchasing the item. The item for sale may be pointed out by highlighting it. For instance, if a movie displays a person using a cell phone, and the cell phone is a featured item for sale, an automatic menu specific t the cell phone would appear. The menu could contain purchasing information, education information on how cell phones work, or specifications of the cell phone in the movie. In another embodiment, the featured item for sale may be highlighted in the screen and a user may click on the cell phone to view a menu specific to the cell phone.
The display of automatic menus may be set to last for a user-determined period of time. For example, a user may set the menu to last for five seconds and then disappear from the screen. A user may also remove the menu from the screen by selecting the menu icon.
In another embodiment, the menu options may be superimposed on the region of the display 120 where the video is playing. If the menu options are superimposed, the menu options may appear semitransparent so as to minimize blocking the view of any part of the displayed video. In another embodiment, the menu options may be shown in a region of the display 120 that is reserved for a menu options to appear. In other words, the region of the display 120 where the video show and the region of the display 120 where the menu shows are predetermined by the user or by the CPU 115 in the media player 100.
Alternatively, the region of the display 120 where the video is playing may be automatically reduced, thus providing space for the menu options to appear on the display 120. Once the menu is automatically removed or removed by the user, the video image is resized to its original size.
An on-screen menu provides a plurality of options. In an exemplary embodiment, as show in
In one embodiment, the selection button may trigger a submenu to appear. For example, pressing on button labeled as "Controls" 220 may activate any available control buttons. As shown in
Usage of the submenu controls does not interrupt video streaming 350. The user may hover on any submenu button with the video simultaneously playing. The user may select any standard playback control button 300 expecting the video streaming to be modified according to his selection. For example, if the user presses on fast forward 306, video streaming will effectively show fast forward of the video until another control option is selected or until the length of the video is consummated. In the same manner, other standard control buttons may be available to control the video playback. Standard control buttons include a play button, a pause button, a stop button, a fast forward button, a rewind button, a next button, and a back button.
Further, the user may select any advanced playback control button expecting yet another submenu. Advanced control and feature buttons include a purchase button, a documentary button, a games button, a features button, a commentaries button, a thumbnail button, or a thumbnail button with an embedded video. For example, the user may select the Scene Select button 320.
In another embodiment, the thumbnails in submenu 500 may be selected causing the video of the scene portrayed in the thumbnail 510 to start playing. The video would play within the thumbnail, while the main video stream 410 continues to play. If the user decides that he wants to watch the scene in full view, then he may select the thumbnail 510 again, and the selected scene will start playing as the main video stream 520. The second selection may also be achieved by a double-click on the menu thumbnail 510.
In another embodiment, thumbnails may include different video sources. In other words, each thumbnail 510 represents a different movie, a documentary, trailer, etc., originating from sources other than the media player. For instance, the media player may be connected to the Internet, and if a specific thumbnail is selected, a particular video may be downloaded from the Internet. Likewise, the video source may be a personal computer attached to the media player. The personal computer would have a hard drive with stored videos that are selectable by the media player.
The main menu displayed on the media player may include other options to access to features included in the media.
In another embodiment, a main on-screen menu of the media player may include other options such as allowing the user access to online information regarding the video.
In another embodiment, a main on-screen menu of the media player may include other options such as providing multiple activities associated with the video displayed.
For example, as illustrated in
In one aspect, the media playback device 100 in accordance with the present disclosure receives at least two streams of media data. Optionally, the at least two streams of media data are streamed to the video player 100 such that the media data of a first data stream corresponds in timing to at least a second data stream. The data streams may be logically multiplexed data feeds or from multiple sources, or a combination of the two.
Data streams may be logically multiplexed data feeds, as illustrated by multiplex data feed 45. Multiplex data feed 45 is a combination of data feeds 10, 20, 30, 40 encoded in the same data feed 45. Data feeds 10, 20, 30, 40 may be transmitted from a CD, CD-ROM, DVD, DVD-ROM, television cable provider, or other data storage or transmittal device known in the art for providing multiple data streams. In an exemplary embodiment, a high definition video player contains a movie along with an additional four multiplexed video and audio tracks. These additional four multiplexed video and audio tracks contain scenes and additional material. The four multiplexed video and audio tracks are timed to match related content in the movie playing from the main video stream. Multiplexed data feed 45 may communicate with video player 100 through wireless means or a wired network.
Simultaneously, an audio and/or video feed from the Internet 50 may be transmitting to video player 100 from an Internet source. The Internet source includes a personal computer, personal media player, or other device known in the art for transmitting data from the Internet. The Internet source may communicate with video player 100 through wireless means or a wired network.
Therefore, a first stream of media data may be displayed on a video display and a secondary stream of media data may be simultaneously displayed within a smaller video sub-window on the video display.
When the user watching the videos sees something interesting she may press a button on her remote control and swap the desired video feed 1210 and the main movie feed 1200. Then, as shown in
Although certain illustrative embodiments and methods have been disclosed herein, it will be apparent form the foregoing disclosure to those skilled in the art that variations and modifications of such embodiments and methods may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the art disclosed. Many other examples of the art disclosed exist, each differing from others in matters of detail only. Accordingly, it is intended that the art disclosed shall be limited only to the extent required by the appended claims and the rules and principles of applicable law.

Mamba Tennis
Stumbled across their website, and was wondering if anyone has any information about their Black Mamba string, or any of their strings. Comparisons appreciated. Thanx.
Hellooooooooooooo? Also, how's the customer service?
There's only one Black Mamba... and that's Kobe Bryant ;-) As for the strings go, i don't think anyone tried them (if BigT can't help you, probably no one can).
I believe the strings offered on their site are made by Discho. Which from my understanding is the same Pro's Pro? They seem to get pretty decent ratings on stringforum. They were offering free samples for awhile but unfortunately I missed out.
i doubt discho is the same as pro's pro. some of the strings surely come from the same factory, but pro's pro is located in austria and discho is located in germany.
I saw this Black Mamba string on a German website a week or so ago. From the pictures it looks very similar to RPM, would be interested to see what the results are on court.
I have a few sets on the way to try out. I am an RPM user so I am curious how these play. I'll update when I get them later this week and give them a shot.
Just saw these as well. I'd be willing to try a reel, not sure which to get, unless all the poly strings are the same construction with different textures
Price is pretty awesome too
I have sets up Black Mamba, Black Mamba Gear and Black spin coming so I'll be able to see if the overall construction is the same or what differences there are and compare them to my normal RPM as well as others that I have tried out such as Black Code, Mesquito Bite, etc.
I have samples and simply am waiting to heal up my wrist before I try them out. Definitely interested in a cheaper version of b5e or even Black Magic.
Tell me how they play. They're sending me out a few as well. I'm really interested in their natty as well.
Did anyone try there sets of strings yet? I received my reel of black spin. I strung it at the same tension as my usual setup and it worked great, but I could tell I needed to lower it to gain some power back for serves, going down 4lbs should do the trick!
Once I dial the tension in, I don't see why I wouldn't use this as my main string, you can't beat the price for a textured string from germany. I also want to compare this to pro's pro black spin. I have a set and they look pretty similar
Keep us updated man! I'm very interested in this company.
I restrung it 4lbs lower and it felt a lot better in terms of power and spin, but I might have to go up a pound or 2 to keep some control with new balls. Hit with it for around 2 hours
I just need one more tension adjustment and I think i'll find my desired tension!
Hescobal: Is it too soon to know the durability & tension maintenance? Thanks.
For anyone who cares, Big Blue is the same string as Black Mamba, Green Mamba and O-Power, just different colors.
played yesterday with the black spin setup I had earlier this week. I didn't increase the tension, but it still felt good. I didn't notice any noticeable tension drop like my other poly string setup and no problems with string movement.
I will restring it tonight and will see how it plays in the morning at mixed doubles practice
?? update? is it RPM repackaged?

King George sets tax rates; hearing on budget draws three comments
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 23 April 2014 08:55
- Published on Wednesday, 23 April 2014 08:55
- Hits: 1333
The King George Board of Supervisors heard from three speakers at last week's public hearing on its proposed budget for next fiscal year, 2014-15, with no one speaking during the hearing on tax rates for the current calendar year. The hearings took place on April 15.
Following the two hearings, Supervisors unanimously voted to raise real estate and personal property taxes, as had been advertised. Tax bills are expected to be mailed as soon as they are prepared, with the first half-year taxes due in early June.
The real estate tax rate was 53-cents per $100 valuation for real estate and mobile homes. Following last year's real estate assessment, it was determined that an "equalized" tax rate would be 56-cents per $100 of assessed value. The county raised real estate and mobile home taxes an additional 3-cents from the equalized rate to 59-cents per $100 value.
Personal property taxes were increased by 5-cents. The rate went from the previous $3.20 to $3.25 per $100 valuation. That tax had seen no increases for nearly a decade. Personal property tax applies to cars and trucks, but also includes motor homes, campers, utility trailers, boat trailers, golf carts, low speed vehicles, business equipment, business vehicles, boats, boat motors, dirt bikes, motorcycles, motorbikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and airplanes.
The three people who spoke during the hearing on the budget represented organizations. A fourth individual provided comments via an email that was distributed to Supervisors. Jim Lynch's written comments for the record have to do with six items regarding the Parks & Recreation Department.
Linda Hamrick from the Rappahannock Area Agency on Aging gave information and statistics about the services it provides to older residents in King George, indicating how the funding from the county is utilized. She thanked the board for the county's continued support.
Renee Parker and Warren Veazey both spoke representing the Citizens for Nonpartisan Good Government.
Veazey suggested increasing the contractual tipping free for the landfill and also claimed that the county Department of Community Development was "padding" its inspection visits to justify its staffing level. Veazey also suggested that the county transfer funding from Community Development, to instead create a position to bring tourism into the county. Currently, tourism is addressed by the director of economic development.
For her part, Parker termed the funding for the library as "excessive," comparing it to the amount the county contributes to funding for the volunteer organization of King George Fire & Rescue, noting Smoot Library gets over $500,000, saying the volunteers get $100,000 less. She also said that funding for the Department of Social Services should be increased and criticized the county for providing cell phones for county employees.
Following public comment, Supervisor Dale Sisson responded to Parker, noting the county's public safety budget is over $8,000,000, and the library's is $509,000, adding that it was not a fair comparison to pit the library budget against fire and rescue volunteer funding, saying "It doesn't tell the whole picture of what we spend on fire and rescue," including the cost for paid staffing.
Supervisors set a special meeting on April 24 at 5 p.m. to adopt the proposed 2014-15 budget, set at $68,202,063, reflecting a 4-percent increase from the current year. No changes have been proposed, with the advertised budget expected to be approved as presented.
The county's General Fund budget is proposed at $35,961,692, which is a 2-percent increase from the current fiscal year. The proposed School Operating budget is $37,225,761, which would be a 5-percent increase from current year. That does not include an additional amount of $1,290,785 proposed in Fund 252 for federal grants, and a School Cafeteria Fund budget proposed at $1,483,829.
The tax increases are essentially going toward the cost of fire and safety positions and related equipment and vehicle costs. The county's proposed Public Safety budget would come to $8,033,870, reflecting an 11-percent increase from the current year.
Two full-time E-911 dispatch positions are in the proposed budget, along with two new sheriff's deputy positions with related equipment, including two new patrol cars, along with full-year costs for two other deputy positions, funded mid-year during the current budget year for duties at the Courthouse. The tax increase would also pick up the full-year costs for six fire & rescue positions that were funded mid-year in the 2013-14 budget, beginning this past January 2014.
In addition, the proposed budget increase would fund the conversion of two part-time positions to full-time in general properties. It would also go toward a part-time paralegal position for the county attorney's office.
The proposal would provide 1-percent average raises under the pay-for-performance policy, beginning at mid-year, on Jan. 1, 2015. The increase is expected to cost about $45,000 on the county side. The county is also requesting the School Board to likewise grant 1-percent raises at mid-year, estimated to cost $106,000.

[6]By now, we've all seen the angry "regular Americans" who are rising up to resist health-care reform. They are demonstrating loudly at town hall meetings. They are holding rallies. They are e-mailing all their friends and family about the absolute horrors that will accompany any government-run program of Obama-Care.
Who are these people? Where did they come from? Is this really how Americans feel about health-care reform?

After two weeks of a new government in Greece, a Greek exit from the Euro (termed a 'Grexit') looks more and more likely. The betting markets give it about 30% to happen this year, and Greece is the out and out market favourite to exit the Euro before any other country.
Though I have not followed it super-closely the last 2 years, I have some observations to offer:
- Greek politicians are very used to being in the situation of owing other countries money and negotiating more favourable terms. In a way, their hand is the easy one to play as they can credibly claim not to be able to pay back the debts and then offer to promise to pay back something, with the alternative being open bankruptcy for which they would then blame the lenders. If the lender is owed enough money, the lender often reluctantly plays along in the hope of getting something back. This strategy has worked well for the previous Greek governments, which have quite successfully in the last 7 years gotten 3 bailouts, and the current government should be favourite again in the current situation to come out with an even better deal than before.
- The political imperative to pretend that Greece will pay back its loans is diminishing on both sides of the loan relation because of increased concentration of debts. The Greek state now directly owes the rest of the EU in that 80% of its debt is mainly to tax-payer owned entities outside of Greece (EU governments, the ECB, the IMF, etc.). This puts Greece into a great position to get a better deal as the Greek state has taken over many of the debts owed by Greek banks (meaning bank collapses are less of a worry), and European tax-payer institutions can rationally hope to simply have the ECB print the equivalent amount of money that they would have to write off as lost Greek debts. This printing-to-cover-debts is already starting to happen as the ECB has announced it wants to buy up government bonds, effectively a form of money printing for governments. For Greece, this means that an official bankruptcy would save the Greek state close to 150% of GDP in terms of liabilities, without the Greek banks being as exposed as in 2007 (Greek banks owe the ECB around 75 billion euro in fairly low-interest loans).
- Previous Greek governments have successfully sabotaged many reforms they agreed to. Continue reading

Gamigo was initially hacked in March. At the time, the site required all registered users to create new passwords. Hackers posted the personal information earlier this month on a password-cracking forum called Insider Pro, according to Forbes. "It's the largest leak I've ever actually seen," Steve Thomas, founder of PwnedList, told Forbes. His site provides a tool that allows users to see if hackers have compromised their email addresses. "When this breach originally happened, the data wasn't released, so it wasn't a big concern. Now eight million email addresses and passwords have been online — live data for any hacker to see." If you were a registered user at Gamigo, you can check PwnedList to see if your information leaked, though it's best to change any duplicate passwords anyway.

When doing a multi-export of the same NFS file system on top of GFS, lock recovery will not work correctly - there's no way to prevent a new GFS lock from being taken after a failure but before NFS has sent the lock reclaim notifications, nor is there a way for GFS to respect the NFS lock reclaim grace period. I do not know why you would have this particular problem, though - locks shouldn't randomly "not work at all" just because you take them from a service IP address vs. the host's real IP. Maybe there's some IPtables firewall rule in place ? -- Lon

|Former Colorado center Stoltenberg dies at 40
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 04 January 2013 16:07
Stoltenberg recently underwent several surgeries after being in a car accident last month, the school said on its website. He died Friday at his home in Sugarland, Texas.
A two-time, first-team All-Big Eight center in the mid-1990s, Stoltenberg was picked by San Diego in the sixth round of the 1996 draft. He played 50 games for the Chargers, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers.
Stoltenberg suited up for three seasons under Bill McCartney and another for Rick Neuheisel. With Stoltenberg helping to pave the way, Rashaan Salaam rushed for a school-record 2,055 yards in 1994 and won the Heisman Trophy.
Services are still pending. Stoltenberg is survived by his wife, Laura, and three sons.

Re: Swan 48 Bella Luna tour and sailing adventure series
Hi guys,
I just posted the next episode of 'Sailing Swan 48 Bella Luna from Georgia to Saint Martin'
Episode 5: 1,500 miles to Tortola, Days 2-3
Swan 48 'Bella Luna' continues her 1,500 nautical mile voyage to Tortola with captain AJ Smith and crew Drake Roberts and Monique Davis aboard. They enjoy their first dinner at sea, try to catch a fish, and discuss the importance of sunscreen at sea. They get a little spooked in the Bermuda triangle when they see something mysterious underneath the surface of the water. On their 3rd day at sea they are then joined by a pod of dolphins riding their bow wave.

I hope it's interesting and would love to hear what anyone thinks of the video.
I'd especially appreciate any comments or suggestions for making this or future videos more interesting, exciting, educational, or better in any way.
Happy sailing,
