Previously recommended methods of transmitting facsimile data on the telephone network resulted in periods of time when there is no signal present in the network; one consequence of this was that the retraining time required for the facsimile modem's receiver after each quiet period was undesirably long. This problem is solved by the high-speed transmitter sending two or more holding tones whenever it is not sending training or facsimile signals; these tones prevent re-routing of a telephone connection and allow the high-speed receiver to continue to track data clock and carrier frequencies, thereby considerably reducing the time required for retraining.
1. In a device for sending facsimile data via a communication link from a source modem to a destination modem, each including a receiver and a transmitter, using a half-duplex protocol whereby, in sequence, said source modem sends a signal to said destination modem to synchronize and train its receiver, said destination modem sends a command signal back to said source modem, and said source modem sends a resynchronizing and retraining signal followed by data, a method of preventing the re-routing of some sections of said communication link and speeding the resynchronization and retraining of the receiver of said destination modem, said method comprising the steps of:
recognizing the beginning and end of the time periods when said source modem is awaiting a response from said destination modem or is receiving and decoding said response; and
transmitting, during said periods, a holding signal that occupies one or two bands of frequencies separate from that occupied by said command signal.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said holding signal comprises two tones, which are generated by constraining the data input to the transmitter of said source modem to be a simple repetitive pattern.
3. The method of claim 2 in which the frequency of one of said two tones that are generated is below the frequency band occupied by said command signal, and the other is above.
4. The method of claim 2 in which said tones are unmodulated carriers of a multicarrier set.
5. An apparatus in a device for sending facsimile data via a communication link from a source modem to a destination modem, each having a receiver and a transmitter, using a half-duplex protocol whereby, in sequence, said source modem sends a signal to said destination modem to synchronize and train its receiver, said destination modem sends a command signal back to said source modem, and said source modem sends a resynchronizing and retraining signal followed by data, an apparatus for preventing the re-routing of some sections of said communication link and speeding the resynchronization and retraining of the receiver of said destination modem, said apparatus comprising:
means for recognizing the beginning and end of the time periods when said source modem is awaiting a response from said destination modem or is receiving and decoding said response; and
means for transmitting, during said periods, a holding signal that occupies a band or bands of frequencies separate from that occupied by said command signal.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 including means for constraining the data input to the transmitter of said source modem to be a simple repetitive pattern.
7. The apparatus of claim 5 including means for transmitting unmodulated carriers of a multicarrier set.
The invention pertains generally to transmission over the General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN) of data signals that have been encoded so as to carry facsimile information, and, more particularly, to transmission according to half-duplex procedures such as are described in Recommendations T.4 and T.30 of the Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT).
Establishment of a connection on the GSTN between two facsimile devices, and the transfer of data from one to the other according to T.4 and T.30 is at present performed by modems working in an unusual half-duplex mode; that is, high-speed facsimile data is transmitted in one direction alternately with low-speed control and acknowledgement signals in the other direction. As a result, the high-speed receiver must be retrained before each batch of high-speed data can be sent; as the speed capabilities of modems are continually improved the time required for training becomes an increasingly significant proportion of the total transmission time.
Furthermore, there will be periods of time when no signals in either direction are present in the network, and the connection may be re-routed; this would further increase the time needed for retraining.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the problem of increased training time for the high-speed receiver is solved by the high-speed transmitter sending at least two holding tones whenever it is not sending facsimile data. These tones prevent quiet periods and consequent re-routing of a connection; they can also be used to allow uninterrupted tracking of the data clock and carrier frequencies, and much faster training of the high-speed receiver.
In other embodiments other numbers of holding tones might be used.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional sequence of signals transmitted between the modems of two typical facsimile machines according to the prior art of Recommendations T.4 and T.30, and the resultant quiet periods. For ease of reference the machines are identified as W (West) and E (East), and it is assumed that facsimile data is to be transmitted from W to E, with only low-speed control and acknowledgement data going from E to W.
FIG. 2 is a typical block schematic diagram of the two transmitters and receivers of both modems connected through four-wire to two-wire converters (4W/2W) to a two-wire line.
FIG. 3 shows a sequence of signals transmitted between two modems W and E according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows a sequence of signals transmitted between modems W and E according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which would be appropriate for use with a multicarrier-modulated signals.
The sequence of events for the establishment of a connection on the GSTN and the transmission and reception of a facsimile-encoded page is shown in FIG. 1; the interconnection of the required transmitters, receivers, and a controller 30 and its associated memory 35 is shown in FIG. 2. The following sequence is activated by controller 30.
(a) The called device, E, responds to a ring signal by sending as control data a Digital Identification Signal (DIS) which defines its capabilities (type of high-speed modem, etc.); it uses a low-speed Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) transmitter 110 as defined by Recommendation V.21, channel No. 2.
(b) The calling device, W, decides which capabilities are to be used, sets switch 20 to the low-speed position, and returns a Digital Command Signal (DCS), using its low-speed, FSK transmitter 10 also in the V.21 high band. It then moves switch 20 to the high-speed position, and transmits from high-speed transmitter 40 a training signal (TRN) followed by a Training Check (TCF) and then silence.
(c) E receives DCS in its low-speed receiver 90, configures its high-speed receiver 100 accordingly, trains its high-speed receiver 100 with TRN, and then analyzes the quality of the connection by noting the number of errors in the received TCF signal; if the quality is deemed adequate E sends Confirmation to Receive (CFR) using its low-speed transmitter 110 in channel No. 2 of V.21 as before.
(d) W sends a retrain signal, and follows it with facsimile data (shown as "Pix"--for pixel--in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4).
(e) If, however, the quality of TCF is deemed inadequate E would send a Failure To Train (FTT), and W would set its high-speed transmitter to a lower speed and send TCF again.
It can be seen that at both ends of the connection (that is, near devices W and E) there are periods of time when there is no signal on the line. These periods are equal to the round-trip delay from W to E and back to W; for long-distance communication via satellites this can be as much as 1.2 seconds.
These quiet periods may have several adverse consequences for facsimile transmission; two such consequences are:
1. in order to make most efficient use of their equipment, some long-distance carriers may time-share transmission facilities between customers; when there is a quiet period on any channel that channel may be re-assigned to another customer if that period exceeds the threshold period established by the common carrier. As a result, when the original modem pair W and E start retransmitting they may be assigned a different channel with different transmission characteristics. High-speed modems must very precisely learn and compensate for channel characteristics, and this switching may dictate a longer training time of the high-speed receiver in E than would have been needed if the channel had not been reassigned;
2. in addition to compensating for channel characteristics, a receiving modem must also compensate for frequency differences between the clocks in transmitting and receiving modems, and for any frequency shift introduced by the channel (usually referred to as clock and carrier offsets). This is usually done by using phase-locked loops (PLL) of some type, but PLLs will generally not be able to hold lock during prolonged periods of quiet. Consequently, when W starts retransmitting it may have to send a longer preamble to its training signal in order to allow the PLLs in E to reacquire lock, and the retrain phase (RTRN) may be almost as long as the original train.
Both of these effects are becoming more important as both the amount of data to be transmitted and the potential speeds of modems are increased. As modem speeds increase the required precision of training also increases, so more time may have to be allowed for training; as speeds increase, however, the time required for transmission of the facsimile information decreases, so that the relative amount of time required for training doubly increases.
The fact that modem E has to transmit only a small amount of data, and does it slowly using only the narrow bandwidth of a V.21 high-band signal presents an opportunity for a previously unrecognized improvement.
When W's high-speed transmitter 40 has finished TCF it should transmit at least two "holding" tones, with at least one at each of the edges of its frequency band; this Single-Carrier Holding Tone (SCHT) segment is shown in FIG. 3. These tones prevent quiet periods in the network, and also are ideally suited to maintaining carrier and clock lock in E's receiver. For the modulation methods recommended in T.30 the frequencies of these tones are:
______________________________________V.27 1000 and 2600 HzV.29 500 and 2900 HzV.33 and other high-speed fax modems 600 and 3000 Hz______________________________________
The tones can be generated by turning off the scrambler of W and (a) when using V.27 or V.29 modulation, setting the transmit data to repeated ONES, or (b) when using V.33 or other single-carrier high-speed modulation methods, by also turning off the trellis coding and transmitting repeated ACAC alternations as defined, for example, in FIG. 3 of Recommendation V.33.
Upon detecting the end of TCF and deciding that the number of errors is acceptable, E should send CFR (using high-band V-21), turn off the adaptation of its equalizer and continue to track clock and carrier using SCHT.
While transmitting SCHT W's low-speed receiver 70 awaits reception of a CFR (or FTT) signal from E. These signals are Frequency Shift Keyed (FSK) between 1650 and 1850 Hz, so they can be easily separated from the reflected holding tones using a band-pass filter 60, which has a passband approximately 300 Hz wide centered about 1750 Hz and is designed and implemented by any one of several methods well known in the art.
Upon receiving CFR W should stop transmitting SCHT, and send a very short retrain sequence before transmitting pixel information. From then on until the call is disconnected, W must not stop transmitting; whenever it is awaiting a reply from E it must transmit the holding tones.
For multicarrier modulated signals (see, for example, Hughes-Hartogs, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,679,227, 4,731,816, and 4,833,706) the T.30 sequence should be modified as shown in FIG. 4. The relevant differences from the single-carrier sequence of FIG. 3 are as follows.
(a) The TCF segment is not needed because the multicarrier training algorithm described by Hughes-Hartogs chooses the data speed to ensure a defined and acceptable error rate.
(b) There is considerably more training information (the bits and power assignments) that must be sent from E to W. It is desirable that high speed communication be used for this purpose, so E must also include a high-speed, multicarrier, transmitter as shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 2; the low-speed CFR signal of FIG. 3 is replaced by the high-speed BP signal of FIG. 4.
(c) In order to use as much of the available bandwidth as possible for the BP signal it is preferable that the holding tones be at quite low frequencies (375 and 625 Hz were used in the first embodiment); this signal is shown as MCHT in FIG. 4.
(d) Because of the ensured error rate there is never a "failure to train", and the TRN/FTT/TRN sequence cannot occur.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention disclosed herein may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics thereof. Accordingly, the disclosure of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, but not limiting of the scope of the inventions which is set out in the following claims.

Undefeated professional and two-time national amateur champion Edwin Rodriguez of Worcester, Mass., returns to the ring April 12 in Boston in a four-round middleweight bout against another experienced boxer. The opponent for the 22-year-old Rodriguez, now 3-0 with two knockouts, is Jeffrey Osborne Jr. of Davenport, Iowa, a sturdy vet of 15 fights..
This will be Rodriguezs fourth fight in just 11 weeks. The 6-foot Rodriguez is coming off a one-sided unanimous decision over veteran James North March 28 in Salamanca, N.Y. Rodriguez stopped Fitzgerald Johnson in the fourth round Feb. 8 in Boston and halted Samuel Ortiz Gomez in the first Jan. 26 in Mansfield, Mass.
Rodriguez plans on keeping busy, with three more bouts tentatively scheduled through June, giving him seven in five months, a brisk pace for a middleweight.
We can keep an active schedule because Edwins skills and stamina are improving every week, says trainer Peter Manfredo Sr., who assumed that duty prior to Rodriguezs third bout.
I had plenty of fights and success as an amateur, but I realize how much more there is to learn about when youre a professional, said Rodriguez. Peter warned me that would be the case. I believed him then, but I really believe him now.
Rodriguez won the USA Boxing national championship for 2005 and the Golden Gloves national championship for 2006, both at 165 pounds.
Edwins last opponent, North, had almost 30 fights, and Osborne has 15 and has only been stopped twice, said Larry Army Jr., Rodriguezs manager. You learn in the gym and then get tested in the ring, so we have no problem taking on experienced opponents.
The 29-year-old Osborne Jr. has a record of 4-9-2 with one knockout.
Rodriguez, who has lived in Worcester since arriving in the United States from his native Dominican Republic during 1998, considered competing for a spot on the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, but the premature birth of twins, Edwin Jr. and Serena Lynn, changed his priorities. Stephanie Rapa, Edwins fiancee and mother of the twins, is a graduate of Holy Cross with a degree in political science and has been accepted by the Western New England School of Law.

Chief justice to swear in Obama for second term
Friday - 1/4/2013, 8:20am EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in President Barack Obama for a second term later this month.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee says Roberts will administer the oath of office at the White House on Jan. 20, as required under the Constitution. Since that's a Sunday, Roberts will also do the swearing-in at the public inaugural ceremony Jan. 21 at the U.S. Capitol.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor (SOHN'-ya soh-toh-my-YOR') will swear in Vice President Joe Biden.
Obama followed tradition in choosing the chief justice to swear him in. Biden chose Sotomayor, who will be the first Hispanic judge to administer the oath.

FEEDBACKLove from our satisfied clients View all Feedback
Since January 2014, Fresh and Fit Meals have made my life easier by having these incredibly delicious, farm to belly meals ready for me at Grinder Gym. With having to focus on my fitness goals, both personally and professionally, Joey and the gang could not have come at a better time. With both the calories and macros accounted for, there was no more time wasted figuring out labels, weighing or measuring.
If you're a San Diegan on the road to health, I most definitely recommend these guys.
Great food great service. Highly recommended! Everything on the menu is delish. I catered a party at my house and Joey, who is the owner is such a delight can cook just about anything from scratch. The spicy mustard mango shrimp was a HUGE hit among many other splendid dishes. Top quality service with a friendly gesture of delicious meals is what makes Fresh and Fit one of a kind!!! 5 stars isn't enough to rate this edible awesomeness, but that's all the stars this app has to give. The freshness will fit in your mouth if you give it chance, trust me on this one it is delish!
GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE! The menu is amazing with so many options!
This plan as been a great addition to my routine and has made my life easier! I never have time to shop and cook and with Fresh & Fit Meals I'm getting great food and its so convenient! Thank you Chef Joey!
I absolutely hate to cook, and 80% of getting fit is healthy eating. When I heard about Joey's Fresh & Fit Meals, I said "Heck YES!!" I could spend $10 on lunch and not get even half of the nutrition and flavor I get when I eat a Fresh & Fit meal. Aside from tasting great, it's the perfect portion of food to get me full without being stuffed….and it is sooo convenient! My days have gotten so busy, that not having to prepare two of my main meals per day has helped me tremendously. I absolutely recommend Chef Joey's meals….all you need to do beyond eating his food, is getting to the gym!!
Being in business for myself means I need to work 24/7. I have little to no time to prepare all the food I need in a day, to keep up with the time I do get to put into my workouts. Fresh and Fit meals have come to my rescue. It's convenient that I can take my meals home, straight from the gym! I submit my order for the week on Friday, and Joey has them ready for me Monday morning. I don't have to worry about shopping for ingredients and being creative with flavors, it's all done for me. So worth the investment! Thanks Chef!
Amazing!!:) I signed up two weeks ago and every meal has been delicious. Chef Joey is dedicated and offers personalized service. (I've also lost 5 pounds…total bonus). The delivery option is super convenient and for me, it is totally worth it!! I highly recommend the coconut shrimp. I could eat that every day:)
How can you beat organic and freshly prepared meals all customized based on personal preference that are priced very reasonable?? Fresh and Fit Meals are by far the leader when it comes to service and the meals they offer. I have tried other Meal Services in San Diego and NO Other company comes close to what Fresh and Fit Meals have to offer. I am a very picky eater and when it comes to service I expect THE BEST. Fresh and Fit Meals have never let me down and they have always provided the best of service, the most freshly prepared organic and local food, and perfectly prepared meals to my preference with lots of variety to chose from. Not only have they provided me with great service and delicious food, they have allowed me to have some free time back in my life – no longer do I have to worry about grocery shopping, going to the farmer's market on the weekends or spending time in the kitchen to prepare my meals in order to stick to a healthy meal plan, they do it all for me. I have friends that have tried my Fresh and Fit lunch or dinners and ask me "how can this be healthy, they taste soooooo good". Well it is this simple – I let Chef Joey do the magic in the kitchen while I get to enjoy his meals and also have more time on my hands doing what I want to do! Lastly, I have saved money by using Fresh and Fit Meals. When you add up the time and money you spend shopping and cooking plus all those times you don't want to cook so you just end up eating out – you end up wasting money and food. Fresh and Fit meals provides an affordable way to eat healthy, stay trim and enjoy life all at the same time!
I cannot say enough great things about Fresh and Fit Meals! The food is absolutely amazing! I think the biggest struggle I find with eating out, ordering in, etc. is that I know I can make something healthier or tastier on my own. Well, that is no longer the case! Fresh and Fit Meals has exceeded my expectations by delivering (literally!) great tasting healthy lunches and dinners. Their food is fresh, tastes great and completely meets my dietary plan! The convenience has become a huge factor since I am a single full-time working Mom. I now have time to work out AND spend time with my daughter since I am not slaving away in the kitchen. Chef Joey has been a pleasure to work with and has provided me with outstanding customer service. I highly reccommend you try Fresh and Fit Meals… you won't regret it!

Tech at Night: A word on the politicization of Aaron Swartz's death.
An activist is dead, by his own choice. He also chose to commit crimes to push his agenda. Nobody denies he did it. They only deny that he should have been prosecuted.
I can understand the man's family and friends feeling grief, and lashing out. But for anyone else to attempt to use this event to push an agenda, discredits his agenda. If you need to use the suicide of a criminal in order to advance your policy goals like a vulture, your policy goals probably don't have much going for them.
And that's all I have to say about that for now.Read More »

North Central College's commitment to environmentally friendly practices has earned gold-level recognition through the Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact.
North Central College has named Dr. Abiodun "GP" Goke-Pariola its next vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty.
Dr. Goke-Pariola will begin his new role at North Central College on July 1 after serving most recently as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina. He previously served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio.
North Central College is establishing an innovative academic program in Middle Eastern and North African studies that will include language courses in Arabic. The new program is partially funded by a U.S. Department of Education grant.
Beginning in fall 2015 the College will offer a minor in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) studies, significantly expand Oesterle Library's holdings in MENA studies and introduce students to cultural experiences in the Chicago area and abroad.
North Central College welcomes Riad Ismat as scholar-in-residence for the 2014-2015 academic year. Ismat will serve as visiting professor of arts and letters. He will teach courses in playwriting, acting and directing, besides lecturing on Syria, Arabic literature and drama.
A new residence hall on North Central College's 65-acre campus will offer desirable suite-style housing for upperclassmen.
The 229-bed residence hall is being built directly south of Ward and Patterson halls and across from Merner Field House and Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium. The five-story residence hall—the College's first since the Residence Hall/Recreation Center opened in 2009—is scheduled for completion by August 2015.
Gregory H. Wolf, North Central College Dennis and Jean Bauman Professor in the Humanities and professor of German, received a highly competitive Fulbright fellowship to participate in the Sommerakademie für amerikanische Germanistikprofessoren, an intensive two-week seminar at the Universität Leipzig in Germany in June 2014.
G.I. Jobs magazine rates North Central College a 2015 Military Friendly School.
The 2015 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members and veterans as students. This is the third consecutive year North Central College has earned the recognition.
North Central College began the 2014-2015 academic year Sept. 15 with a near-record number of students.
Total enrollment is a near-record 2,800 undergraduates and 250 graduate students—3,050 total—eclipsing the 3,000 mark for the third straight year. The College welcomed 860 new full-time undergraduate students, up from 852 a year ago. That includes 580 first-year students, up from 529 a year ago. The 860 new undergraduates would be second only to the record-number 882 welcomed in fall 2010.
U.S. News & World Report magazine ranks North Central College among America's Best Colleges for 2015.
North Central College is ranked No. 14 in the Midwest in the Regional Universities category—schools that offer a full range of undergraduate and master's degrees. This is the 21st consecutive year U.S. News & World Report has ranked North Central College among America's Best Colleges.
International students enrolled in North Central College's Summer English Language Institute (ELI) experienced the region's cultural attractions while learning English.

Nearly crunchy mama to one DS born at home 12/09 and married to my best friend one week later
Are you talking about Blue Shield/Blue Cross?
We have Blue Shield and while home birth is a covered benefit it has to be done with a network provider. Surprise, surprise there are no midwives in network. :
My husband and I payed out of pocked for our homebirth, but I'm thinking about writing a letter to the company that manages the network for Blue Shield locally and asking them to credential my midwife as a provider. I know it will probably be a waste of time though so...

Local mom is world-famous as 'Recipe Girl'
Carmel Valley food blogger goes global and now has a published cookbook
Quick and easy version: Purchase a pre-made crust and then proceed with the recipe as directed.
Upside-Down Brown Butter–Banana Coffeecake
Makes 6 servings
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) salted butter
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium ripe banana, sliced
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
1⁄4 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1⁄3 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch round or 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray.
To prepare the topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter begins to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the browned butter into the round cake pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the sugars and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the browned butter in the pan. Evenly place the banana slices on top of the sugars.
To prepare the cake, in a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar. Beat in the banana, sour cream, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture. Spoon batter into pan, spreading evenly over sliced bananas. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven, run a sharp knife along the side of the pan to loosen. Place a serving plate on top of pan and gently flip it over. The cake should come out and onto the plate easily. Tap the bottom of the pan if the cake needs coaxing. Drizzle any remaining juices in the pan over the top of the cake. Serve immediately.

(embryology) The outer (upper) ectodermal layer of the embryonic disc, closer to the amniotic cavity, and above the hypoblast
The epiblast is the outermost layer of the embryonic disc during the early embryonic development. In reptiles and birds, the epiblast originates from the blastodisc. In mammals, it is derived from the inner cell mass (or embryobalst) of the blastocyst.
In mammalian embryogenesis, the blastocyst develops a blastocoel and forms two layers: the trophoblast and the embryoblast. The cells of the embryoblast grow and form the embryonic disc. The outer layer of the embryonic disc is called the epiblast whereas the layer below the epiblast is referred to as the hypoblast.
The epiblast layer soon forms small clefts that will coalesce to give rise to the amniotic cavity. The amniotic cavity separates the embryonic epiblast from the other epiblast cells that lined the cavity. The cells of the embryonic epiblast are believed to generate the actual embryo. They proliferate and migrate toward the dorsal midline of the embryonic disc, forming the primitive streak.1 The primitive streak serves as the site of gastrulation, which is the process of forming the three germ layers (i.e. endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm).

Keo, in his News24 column, picks his Absa Currie Cup winners and losers.
You can wait until the comfort of Saturday night, once the semi-finalists are confirmed, to pick a 2006 Currie Cup winner or you can be a bit more daring and make the call now. Come on be daring.
One team of the top five is going to miss out and it is going to be the Lions. Brave and brilliant in the last seven matches, the Lions will curse their early season experiments that cost them easy points. Lesson learned by Eugene Eloff who will not easily again surrender league points to prove a point to his senior players.
Eloff will argue it worked and he got the best out of his older hands. But he got the best out of them a week too late and his team is four league points off where they should have been.
That leaves four teams for the playoffs and all that has to be determined is who ends in the top spot and who will have to travel to the home of that team.
The Cheetahs will lose in Pretoria on Saturday but still end top of the table, with the Bulls, victors but not with the bonus point, ending second on points difference from Western Province who'll take the five league points at Newlands. The Sharks will hammer the Falcons to set up another trip to Bloemfontein and a semi-final exit from the competition.
The Sharks, my early season call to win the competition, have mixed and matched so much this season that they cost themselves a home semi-final and with that any chance of winning the competition. It is a disappointing ending to a season that proved a heartbreaker in the Super 14. The Currie Cup let down, though, is self inflicted and while the Sharks may argue they've simply used the Currie Cup as squad preparation for the 2007 Super 14, the rationale shouldn't convince the board. This was a domestic campaign that should have ensured greater rewards.
The Sharks can't beat the Cheetahs at the moment. It has nothing to do with ability and the psychology of three successive defeats this year, coupled with last season's Currie Cup struggles, will prove too draining in a fortnight. Also, don't discount the loss of AJ Venter. The Sharks are poorer when he is not there.
If the Sharks selectors played Brent Russell at flyhalf I'd probably have to eat humble pie, but if they haven't played the pocket rocket there for two seasons, why would they start now?
In the other semi-final match-up Western Province will travel to Loftus and this time there won't be an ambush. Province, inspired by Luke Watson, have twice stolen wins from the Bulls. But in Cape Town they played all their 'get out of jail' cards and to beat the Bulls for a second time at Loftus they'd need 15 Watson's. As it is they've got only the one.
I'm tipping the Bulls to win on Saturday, win against Province the next week and then travel to Bloemfontein and set the record straight for last season's defeat to the Cheetahs in the final.
Revenge will be all the sweeter because they will achieve the win in Bloemfontein.
No team can peak throughout a tournament and you sense Province and the Cheetahs are wobbling now, when it matters most. The Sharks, with an extravagant rotation policy, never allowed for a peak period, while the Bulls, like the Crusaders in Super rugby, wobbled just at the right time.
The Bulls campaign this season has reminded me of many Crusaders campaigns. Just when they looked buried in the league stages, they turned it on and entered the playoffs on a high, capable of destroying any team regardless of where the match is played.
So if you're a betting man, get the odds on a Bulls Currie Cup final win and spend some cash. For those, like me, who spent their money on the Sharks some months ago, accept the cash is lost.

I like it but it could do with more colours that are more of houses, trees, grasses colour. If we could blend our own colours from a huge palatte of colours, it would be great. I don't like the persistent pop-up from the developer to pay money for more colouring books while I'm colouring though. I like the pictures and wouldn't mind paying for more colouring books if they have more colours and dif

West Nile virus (WNV), is a disease transmitted to humans, birds, horses, and other animals, by infected mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get the disease from feeding on infected birds and can later pass it on when they bite animals or humans.
WNV is established in San Diego County and can be found in all 58 counties in California! The virus was first isolated in the West Nile district of a Northern Province in Uganda in 1937. It was first detected in the United States in New York City in 1999. From there, the virus spread westward, arriving in California in 2003. West Nile virus is now the most prevalent mosquito-borne disease in the United States.
The Vector Control Program protects communities and the environment by controlling mosquitoes that can transmit diseases to humans.

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 provides, under Chapter 6, for leadership and integrity of all public officers. The Chapter is predicated upon the assumption that State officers1 are the nerve Centre of the Republic and carry the highest level of responsibility in the management of state affairs and, therefore, their conduct should be beyond reproach. This means that under the Constitution Kenyans decreed that those whose conduct does not bring honor, public confidence and integrity have no place in the management of public affairs.
In line with our mission to promote permanent civic vigilance on key governance issues, the Africa Centre for Open Governance (AfriCOG) is pleased to present the following report on pending issues related to the March 2013 general election in Kenya.
In April 2014, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) released what it called its "final" results from the March 2013 general elections. This report was the third such published since the election.
As Kenya establishes the framework for exploitation of recent discoveries of large oil and gas deposits, the need for good governance in the sector becomes paramount. Related experience reveals that resource-rich developing countries often face a range of challenges in translating the potential benefits from such discoveries into the improved welfare of their citizens. The result is that the abundance of natural resources in most developing countries causes significant harm rather than bringing the expected benefits. This paradox where natural resource endowments occasion misery instead of plenty is well illustrated by crises in African mineral and oil exporters such as Sudan, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Chad and Equatorial Guinea.

One of the key features of Kenya's constitution that was promulgated in August 2010 is the provision for a devolved government. This provision should be seen against the backdrop of inequalities, marginali- zation and poor service delivery that characterised decades of centralized governance in Kenya. While frameworks to implement devolution have largely been put in place, diverse challenges exist a year into devolution. One year into devolution represents a good point at which to review performance and deter- mine bottlenecks that can be resolved at this early stage. Similarly, a review of the experiences of the first year of county governments provides a useful basis to evaluate the extent to which they have adhered to the legal and institutional frameworks for managing public finances. This is important because County governments' ability to deliver the promise of devolution depend on their efficient use of funds while preventing waste and pilferage.

The development of a new constitution was meant to redress some of the underlying governance challenges facing the Kenyan state. The risk of not addressing these governance challenges was manifested in the 2007/2008 post-election crisis. Indeed, in what was referred to as the Agenda Item Four (4), the Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation Initiative identified some of these challenges as negative ethnicity, regional imbalances, unemployment and class disparities.

On March 4, 2014 Kenya conducted a general election, which was historic for several reasons. It was the first general election since the promulgation of the new Constitution in 2010; and it was the first election in which voters would choose candidates for six positions each, the majority of which were newly created by the Constitution. The 2013 elections also ushered in a devolved system of government. Against the background of the 2007 elections that ended in the disaster of the 2008 postelection violence, concern was high that a repeat be avoided.
On March 4, 2013, Kenya held a landmark general election. It was the first national election since the promulgation of the internationally lauded constitution, which created a devolved system of government. For the first time, Kenyans voted simultaneously for six elective offices, ranging from president to local ward representative. This election was also the first to be administered by the newly created Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), a body which enjoyed over 90 per cent public confidence in the lead-up to the national polls.1

The Kenya Governance Report 2012 is the second in a new series by the Africa Centre for Open Governance. This report reviews events of the year 2012 as they relate to critical issues and developments in implementation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, governance reform and efforts against corruption. It analyses their implications and makes recommendations for the future.
This report is a comprehensive review of Kenya's Arid Lands Resources Management Project (ALRMP2). ALRMP2 was a community-based drought management project of the Kenya Government (GoK) that utilised a credit facility from the World Bank. The project had components to promote capacity building in recognition of the constraints and potential of the natural environment; generate development capacity at the community level and below to empower communities to take greater charge of their own development agenda.

Does it list birth dates for Rosaria and Ciriaco?
What date did they get married?
Does it list their parent's names?
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate how helpful members of this site have been to me, I could never have found this stuff on my own.

Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe it is a rollercoaster. Maybe it is a ferris wheel. Maybe it is a water ride. Maybe a ride that spins. You know yourself. What ride, if you were offered 1 million dollars, would you still say No Way!
Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe it is a rollercoaster. Maybe it is a ferris wheel. Maybe it is a water ride. Maybe a ride that spins. You know yourself. What ride, if you were offered 1 million dollars, would you still say No Way!
There is no ride I won't ride at Disneyland but outside the park I REFUSE to ride a Gravitron! The one where you lay against the walls and they slide up and down while the ride spins!
I won't tell you what happened to me in the past on that ride but it was awful!!! Never again!!!!!!
A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes....
A million dollars??? I'd eat my own vomit while going on Small World for a million dollars! (Sorry for being graphic, just emphasizing a point.) But let's say money isn't involved. I'd never go on the Davey Crocket canoes. Not out of fear of water or anything, but just because canoeing seems more like labor than fun. Me and my friend used to have a joke that the people in the canoes were people who got caught hopping the back wall and they are forced to row all day. Plus you can see everything form the Mark Twain and Columbia that you can from the canoes.

NO way canoes are way fun! Till you are actually on em and you are getting splashed by everyone who has never even used a canoe before. But yeah great fun! LOL
Hmm what ride would I not ride... http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disn...AttractionPage
I have been on it a few times but each time I go on it, it takes alot of talk from my friends to get me up there LOL Again!
Matterhorn, Big Thunder and Golden Dreams at DCA...and I am serious...I'll get on them...once in a while...but i hate those rides...Golden Dreams i've never seen, but i will not step foot in there...
When I do get on matterhorn...I always yell out Dolly's drop at its location and I turn up my iPOD music and sing out loud to a song...
Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat
All of a sudden I began to change
I was on the dance floor acting strange
Flapping my arms I began to cluck
Look at me..I'm the disco duck
"Do the Disco Duck!!!"
Heh heh... One time, I was at an ameusment park in Oklahoma and my brother and I got on one of those. Just as they were closing the door, some really obease kid and his buddy get on. The buddy is yelling to everyone in the ride, "This kid just ate 14 pieces of pizza!" I don't mean to be cruel, but this kid didn't look like the type who could keep something like that down. That was the scariest ride of my life.There is no ride I won't ride at Disneyland but outside the park I REFUSE to ride a Gravitron! The one where you lay against the walls and they slide up and down while the ride spins!
For a million bucks, I'd ride Michael Eisner piggyback from Burbank to Anaheim (or visa-versa). Seriously, though. I will NOT get on the Maliboomer. My fear of heights is much too angry. (...but for a $million I can close my eyes!). I'd go on Golden Dreams a second time but you'd have to wake me up to pay me.
The canoes are a hoot. It is not work, it is recreation. It's also very cooling on a hot day when the idiot in front of you can't work out the complicated dynamics of operating a paddle.

When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.
Touche`! I love that ride...that you are keeping secret for some reason so i won't spoil it. Well, i like that ride. If i don't go on it it's ok, but i'd take it over canoes!Originally Posted by PumpkinKing!

It's gone now, but given the circumstances it was still around, I wouldn't ride Superstar Limo again for a million dollars. It was painful *enough* going on it the first time around. Just...UGH. >_< heh.
I'm a big thrill seeker, so I'll ride anything here there or anywhere. Even at Six Flags. The only thing I ain't been on yet is Superman the Ride, mostly because the queue is at least three hours long every time I go....
I waited four hours to ride X at that park and was scared ****LESS.
Besides, when I got my AP I promised myself that I would do everything listed on the map the day I got my AP. So, if the keelboats had been on there, I woulda done em, even if let's say they were in the process of sinking.
I've already done the canoes and Innoventions (shudder at the last one!) and everything else should just be fun
I'd cut off my own leg for a million bucks, but for arguments sake- the only ride that has ever scared me (and I almost cried!) is X at Magic Mountain. And I would even consider giving it a second chance.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. -Michael Jackson
ME TOO..... I almost peed myself. And I WAS crying by the end. It was terrifying. And I want to ride it again. BADLY.Originally Posted by TinkPink

I've read so many rave reviews and just got to try it. I normally use Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Sand with occasional BB Corrector in Light Bisque underneath. I'm fair with yellow undertone and when I wear foundation I use Armani Luminous Silk Foundation #5. I tested the CdP concealer at the counter and thought I could use either Ivory or Beige. The BA suggested Ivory for my yellow undertone (Beige is light but has pink undertone) and she said it would illuminate. I normally use concealer for some undereye circle (not severe but I have hollow eyes so my undereye areas sometimes look darkish) and for sun spots on my cheekbone. One sun spot in particular under my right eye is quite large, about a pencil eraser size. It has been annoying me to no end for over 5 years. It's medium in color but gets darker in the summer or when I go south despite my wearing daily SPF 50+. I noticed that lately my Bobbi Brown concealer doesn't seem to cover it at all. I can see through it despite applying layers of concealer (and spending way too much time). And then when I put on my powder blush after the loose face powder, the area darkens again. The CdP concealer is great for my dark circle. I don't have to apply several layers like BB. However, it doesn't cover the dark sun spot but it's okay for the light ones (not completely but cover enough that they're not noticeable). My dark sun spot still shows through despite layering (same effectiveness as BB).
The texture is dryer with powdery finish. Make sure you're well moisturized before applying or it doesn't glide on as well as it should. I use MAC Touch Up brush to apply the concealer then very lightly pat it down with my finger tip. I think the Beige color may work better for my sun spots. I noticed that the BB corrector in Light Bisque has pinkish tone but it cuts down the browness of the sun spots and helps the yellow tone concealer to work better. But then again, I'm back to using 2 products--CdP Ivory for undereye circles and Beige or BB Bisque + Ivory for sun spots. I was hoping to cut down to one HG concealer but I guess that's not going to work. I'm not sure if I'll repurchase again.

Worth the price? In my opinion for $70 USD...no =( I am NC20 and have have this in the shade Beige. I use this to conceal under eye circles and blemishes.I apply with both a brush and pat in with fingers. The amount of product you get is decent and can probably last 1-1.5 years.
This concealer doesn't last throughout the day and begins looking cakey about 1-2 hours in. Setting with a powder foundation is a no-no with this product because it will look patchy/cakey.It conceals okay but the patchiness/cake-iness isn't worth it. Can look drying. Furthermore mascara tends to transfer onto the concealed area under the eye a bit.
Advice: Does not work with liquid/powder foundations. Best used with cream foundations.

I purchased and then gave away 2 tubes of this stuff because I just could not get it to work for me (Ivory). Then, I went to a counter at Saks and was matched to a different shade (Beige). Voila - perfection. For this price, don't trust the pictures online or your own estimate of what shade you should select, get matched in person - it made all the difference for me. That said, using a Trish large laydown brush and patting with my finger, this stuff completely erases all discoloration under my eye and brightens at the same time. Very minimal creasing and that goes away after I pat it out a little more.

I am MAC NC 40, Dior nude 031, LM moisture supreme suntan beige, Too faced warm honey.
I bought two different shades: Ocre and honey. My recommendation would be is to buy honey (and not ocre). Please do so at your own risk though. If you have a counter near you, then go to the counter. I had to order it online.
I have very very dry skin and I still make it work. The beauty of this concealer is that you have to use very very little due to the dense pigmentation hence it does not crease much. Every concealer (no matter how cheap or expensive) will crease some.
I put eye cream followed by Giorgio Armani master corrector in "2" then followed by this concealer. Then I powder it.
Hope this helps some.

I bought this as a splurge and have regretted it. I like the consistency, and it is blendable. It has little staying power. I have tried it on top of powder, under powder, etc. It seems to slide right off as soon as I turn away from the mirror. This is my biggest beef with this product. I also wonder why it won't stay on my blemishes but it embraces the wrinkles under my eyes with glee! Try something else, and let me know what you find. This isn't it.

Before trying this and looking for it online (and having a mini heart attack after seeing the price) I had no idea this product had so much hype surrounding it, I stopped reading magazines when several years ago I saw one talking up how ~*Amazing*~ Maybelline Great Lash supposedly is (LOL!). I was given a sample of this as a gift with purchase and never touched it for months. To be honest I had sort of reached a state of zen regarding my under eye circles. I've had under eye circles since I was at least 11 years old and nothing ever seemed to have enough coverage while looking natural and without creasing so I had given up trying to improve the way they looked. All I usually did was pat some extra foundation on the area and call it good.
One morning I pulled it out and decided to try it out on my epically dark under eyes (I only had about 3 hours of sleep that night on top of the fact that genetically I always have purple-ish under eyes regardless of how much sleep I get). I gently patted this on after applying my sunscreen moisturizer and was shocked at how well it covered up my circles while still looking utterly natural. Now I'm not normally shocked by the efficacy of makeup products (usually exactly the opposite) and I can't even remember the last time a makeup product surprised me with how great it was. I also applied this to a blemish and this worked like a champ at covering that too.
This has a nice creamy consistency that feels like nothing on the skin. Which amazed me since usually concealers feel very heavy to me and sometimes even feel sticky especially when they're a creamy consistency like this one. I was surprised at how little I needed to cover my under eye area. After putting this on I thought "I bet this creases like crazy in a few hours". Well no creasing. Ten hours later my under eyes looked just as fabulous as they did when applied.
Bottom line: If you can afford this and need serious coverage that still looks like real skin and not makeup give this one a try. It delivers.

I don't know why this product has been raved about. It's absolutely not the best concealer out there for me, I've used ones that were a lot better en definitely a lot cheaper than the Cle de Peau concealer.
I have tried lots of concealers to hide my dark circles and as the Cle de Peau was recommended by multiple magazines I decided to give it a go. And i absolutely didn't like it.
This concealer tends to look cakey, even when applying a moisturizing cream before the concealer. It does no better job at hiding my dark circles than other concealers: I even think it makes them look worse. Definitely not buying this product again as this is a waste of my money.

This stuff creases faster than the rolls on a fat baby's arms. I wonder if all the people declaring this a holy grail have actually tried your average drugstore stick concealer before, or if they're comparing this to some liquid concealer. Not a fair comparison. This stuff is no different from any other stick concealer.
I was using Amazing Cosmetics concealer (in Light Golden), which is the best full coverage concealer thus far. Problem is, it's too creamy and oily which leaves a wet shine look where ever I put it. So after reading rave reviews, I went out on a leap of faith and purchased this ridiculously expensive Cle de Peau Concealer in Beige (I am NW20-25).
Color was great and seems to be a universal beige that will cater to NW/NC20-30. It's easier to blend than Amazing Cosmetics, since it's thinner. As for everything else, I'm not impressed at all.
The coverage was medium upon one application. I have dark, dark under eye circles that make me look like a mafia hit man. It took me a good 2 or 3 swipes to cover them and the dark acne scars. It's definitely drier than Amazing Cosmetics, which I like for my oily skin. But that also made it crease a lot. Within a few hours, it had either disappeared under my eyes or sunk into my ever so pleasant creases under the eye. I either had to do some hard core smudgining with my forefinger every hour or reapply it.
Why is this stuff so highly rated? It's junk. I was trying to convince myself it's wonderful since I paid so much, but it's really not. For $70, this should have covered, lasted, and stayed the hell out my cracks (on the face, that is). It didn't do any of that.

I was sure its the "best concealer on the market", but now I regret spending 70$ for it.
Its too dry and emphasises these tiny wrinkles under the eyes A LOT.
Another minus - the palest shade "Porcelain" is not pale enough and has slightly visible orange undertone.
I like Make Up For Ever "HD Concealer" much more - onece applied - it looks as smooth as it can get... the skin under the eyes gets less "visible", while Cle de Peau concealer drugs attention to this area.

I was very skeptic about this concealer at first because it is in a cream stick form and I've been using liquid concealer all my life for my dark circles. But my aunt kept raving about it and so I gave in and bought one. Apparently, in order for this concealer to work, is to apply it the right way, which is apply lightly and blend... adding a little more and blend again if needed.... Don't start by applying with too much product because it will get cakey. The result is very natural and it's simply is the best concealer I've ever used. It doesn't settle into fine lines. Do wear eyecream before applying any kind of concealer... that way, the eyes won't get dry.
