The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) invites interdisciplinary teams to submit research proposals in the area of Global Maternal, Adolescent and Child Health (MACH) for up to $25,000. Maternal, Adolescent and Child Health is a research priority for DGHI. Letter of intent is due April 1, 2015 to Alisa Barrett at firstname.lastname@example.com, and questions can be directed to Dr. Kathryn Whetten at email@example.com.
DGHI seeks to provide pilot funds to stimulate interdisciplinary research in maternal, adolescent, and child health with the goal of enabling investigators to leverage preliminary findings and data to obtain larger awards of external funding. Collaborative and interdisciplinary proposals are especially encouraged. Proposals that support a sustainable line of research in maternal, adolescent, and child health will be prioritized.
Summer 2014 marks the end of program Year 3 for the Teen Outreach Program of Craven County, more commonly referred to as the TOP® Club of Craven County. This collaborative intervention between The Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University and the Craven County Health Department is funded through the PREPARE for Success grant initiated through the Affordable Health Care Act. This grant is administered through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Women's Health Branch.
According to the 2012 Craven County State of the County report, the pregnancy rate in 2011 for teenage women ages 15-19 in Craven County was 58.3 out of 1,000 women. In 2012, Craven County ranked 24th across the state for teenage pregnancy. However, for the past five years (2007-2012), Craven County has had the 14th highest rate of teenage pregnancies of all 100 counties. Designed to positively affect this alarming trend, TOP® Club of Craven County helps youth develop important life skills through participation in weekly peer meetings with trusted adults, enrichment activities and integral service learning opportunities. Major components of the program's structure include values clarification, decision-making skills, and the dissemination of scientifically accurate information regarding both abstinence and contraceptive methods with an emphasis on the role that each plays in developing healthy behaviors. The research element of this program, developed by the curricula creators and the NC DHHS oversight department, seeks to quantify the impact of the program on participants by anonymously surveying them on a yearly basis. Surveys analyze students' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors regarding sexual behaviors and associated risks at the beginning and end of each program year.
This youth-oriented intervention compliments the rich legacy of addressing health disparities within CHPIR programming. While CHPIR has established many programs around the world, this initiative is the first and only domestic CHPIR-sponsored initiative that addresses youth health disparities in the state of North Carolina. TOP® Club fills a similar void for Craven County as the only community-based initiative to provide health education, including comprehensive sex education, to adolescents in the area.
TOP® Club of Craven County celebrates another successful year of programming, meeting or surpassing its established measurable objectives for Year 3. Notably, the program's recruitment efforts set the tone for this year's success. Increased community awareness and strengthened partnerships contributed to the program's highest number of enrolled students since it began operation in 2012. To date, TOP® Club has served over 200 Craven County adolescents, and surpassed its Year 3 enrollment goal of 80 youth by 11%. TOP® Club of Craven County is committed to also addressing ethnic disparities in the county's teenage pregnancy rates. Illustratively, over 75% of the students served through the program in Year 3 are youth of color.
Strong community partnerships have also supported the success of the program's third operational year. The New Bern Chapter of the Continental Societies, Inc. is represented on the program's Community Advisory Council, and partnered with TOP® to facilitate two of the program's four Year 3 enrichment activities offered to TOP® participants. These activities, designed to cultivate student civic and social responsibility while building important life skills, expose participants to new experiences and offer exciting opportunities for self-discovery. This year, TOP® Club participants celebrated the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in New Bern's Annual MLK Heritage Parade while holding hand-made signs to remember Dr. King's vision with slogans including, "Justice for All" and "End Racism."
Learning through service to the community is an integral part of the TOP® program model. This program component largely parallels the helper therapy principle, developed by Frank Reissman. First published in a 1965 edition of Social Work, this frequently referenced model asserts that when a person helps or serves another person, that person gains an increased sense of self-efficacy, making the relationship beneficial for both the 'helper' and 'helpee.' Over the course of the TOP® 9-month program, students devote at least 20 hours to a service project that they design, implement, debrief and celebrate. TOP® Club participants completed several inspired service projects in Year 3 that served vulnerable populations in the area, including: animals, low-income elderly, homeless residents and youth with chronic illness.
Motivated by a passion to serve other youth in their community, the TOP® Club at New Bern High School, facilitated by CHPIR Project Coordinator, Genevieve Hunter, brought favorite childhood characters to life during a visit to the Vidant Maynard Children's Hospital in Greenville, NC. The group's project also included a toy drive, through which they collected over 75 toys to benefit the hospital's courageous young residents.
The success of TOP® of Craven County collaboratively working with partners has garnered positive attention from teen pregnancy prevention advocates at the state level. The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina, or APPCNC, is one such organization. APPCNC began as a grassroots initiative in 1985 to address climbing teen pregnancy rates in Charlotte, NC. Since then, the nonprofit organization has expanded its work to counties across the state to build capacity to prevent adolescent pregnancy through collaboration, advocacy and education.
With recent funding from the Duke Endowment, APPCNC is working to support and build on the success of TOP® Club operations in Craven County. APPCNC is working closely with TOP® staff and community members with hopes of mimicking great strides made in other North Carolina counties. Notably, Gaston Youth Connected (GYC), an APPCNC sponsored program, has seen tremendous achievements since its inception in 2010. According to GYC's website, Gaston County dropped its teen pregnancy rate by 28% from 2010 to 2012 through this innovative initiative which unites stakeholders through the implementation of practical changes in the community. Gaston Youth Connect has started a Teen Wellness Center at the Health Department and has teen peer educators out in the community making appointments for youth on smart phones and tablets. CHPIR staff and TOP® facilitators Genevieve Hunter and Tova Hairston will do similar work with APPCNC this year to establish a community-wide coalition that will increase community awareness of teen pregnancy and prevention efforts. The coalition will connect key stakeholders, including schools, support agencies and small businesses in a structured, joint effort to increase teen pregnancy prevention efforts and garner community buy-in to support the efforts of TOP® Club of Craven County.
TOP® Club of Craven County is looking forward to growth and expansion in Year 4, with supplementary funding from the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Initiatives program (TPPI) through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Women's Health Branch. The additional funding will support current CHPIR staff positions in the program, and will provide for additional program facilitators. With increased program capacity, TOP® Club will also add another site location in the county, serving students residing in rural Vanceboro and other parts of western Craven County. With a strong foundation, TOP® Club staff is excited to continue to reverse the trend of Craven County's teenage pregnancy rate with increased support from state advocates, the Duke Global Health Institute and the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research.
What program stakeholders are saying about TOP® Club of Craven County:
"[Learning about abstinence in TOP] helped me… because it gave me information [about how] I would need to [say] no for when I get ready to have sex, like the risks [of teen pregnancy and HIV and STDs]
TOP® Club participant
"TOP is a club where kids can feel safe. It's designed so that people can talk about themselves in a safe environment. It's a group that can show you the ROPES …because no matter what situation you come from, everyone is equal!"
TOP® Club participant
"I love, love love, love, love love TOP…seeing you guys interact with the young people that are involved in [TOP® Club]…has just been the most rewarding thing for me…, and then [seeing] the participation of the parents and how excited they were, and how much they absolutely love and respect what you guys are doing for them."

Amazing views and good value of money
We stayed a week in hotel sporting. It was very clean and well maintained. The location is unique. From the balcony of my room I could see all the bay of Naples and Vesuvius. The personal at reception is very polite and was in our disposal every time. They gave us all the information we need and helped us giving good advices to find excursions, boat trips, etc. The hotel is right in the centre of Vico Equense with many restaurants, cafes, and night life. It is two minutes drive from Marina di Vico were the boat trips start. It is near the bus station and five minutes walk from Circumvesuviana railway station. The pebble beach was very good and well maintained. The only problem was that the sun reached the beach after half past ten in the morning. The see was warm and mostly clear and clean.
The breakfast was good but till half past ten. Sometimes this is a problem for families with little kids. The beach restaurant was not so good, with not many possibilities to choose and the service was slow. The beach bar and the beach servive werw very good.
I recomend this hotel.

In a shared memory system, ineffective write operations ("dead stores") can be handled in a manner to reduce unnecessary consumption of resources. In a shared memory system, when a non-owning processing unit requests data from a shared memory location owned by another processing unit, the memory controller for the shared memory requests a most current copy of the data from the owner processing unit. Instead of the owner processing unit reflexively sending its data to the memory controller, the owner processing unit determines whether the data has been changed, and, if it has not changed, transmits indication of such to the memory controller. Since the data has not changed, then the data at the shared memory location is proper and can be sent to satisfy the requesting processing unit.
1. A method for reducing consumption of memory bandwidth in a shared memory system, the method comprising:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of computers. More specifically, the present invention relates to computer architecture.
2. Description of the Related Art
The increasing disparity between processor speeds and memory access speeds exacerbates the already heavy demand on memory bandwidth. In addition, the focus on throughput computing sensitive multi-core processor designs further increases the demand on memory bandwidth.
Write operations consume a significant portion of memory bandwidth. When a write operation is performed, the value of the write operation is written to cache as well as system memory. The moment when the value is written to system memory is dependent upon the write policy implemented, such as writeback versus write-through. Some write operations do not effectively change the corresponding location in system memory or cache. In other words, the write operation is writing the same value that already resides at the destination of the write operation. Although performance of such a write operation does not change the contents of the destination location, memory bandwidth is spent on the write operation, as well as other resources, such as resources expended unnecessarily firing write pins.
In a shared memory system with a directory based coherence protocol, changes of state of a shared memory location are represented in the shared memory's memory controller. When a non-owning processor requests data from a shared memory location, the memory controller determines whether the state of the data at the shared memory location is dirty or clean. If the state of the memory location is dirty (e.g., M or I), then the owning processor is consulted for the most current data for that shared memory location. The memory controller requests the data from the owning processor, and the owning processor transmits the data to the memory controller. The memory controller updates the shared memory location and forwards a copy of the current data to the requestor non-owning processor, and updates the shared memory location with the data from the owning processor. Even if the owning processor's data and the data at the shared memory location are the same, bandwidth is still consumed by the owning processor transmitting the data to the memory controller, which then updates the shared memory location with the received data, even though the data being overwritten is the same as the received data.
It has been discovered that many write operations are ineffective, and that in a shared memory system a shared memory location may be unchanged despite indication to the contrary by an owner processing unit. Requests from a non-owner processing unit for data from such a shared memory location can be handled in a manner to prevent unnecessary consumption of resources. When a first processing unit requests data from a location in shared memory that is owned by a second processing unit, the second processing unit determines whether the data at the shared memory location is consistent with the second processing unit's version of the data (i.e., second processing unit determines whether the data has been changed). If the data is consistent, then the second processing unit can forego transmitting the data to the memory controller because it is the same data. Instead, the second processing unit indicates to the memory controller of the shared memory location that the data has not been modified. The data requested by the first processing unit is then provided directly from the shared memory location to the first processing unit.
These and other aspects of the described invention will be better described with reference to the Description of the Drawing(s) and accompanying Figures.
The present invention may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features, and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings.
The use of the same reference symbols in different drawings indicates similar or identical items.
The description that follows includes exemplary systems, methods, techniques, instruction sequences and computer program products that embody techniques of the present invention. However, it is understood that the described invention may be practiced without these specific details. For instance, the described invention is described with reference to sniffing or snoopy coherency protocols, although the described invention may also be applied to a directory coherency protocol. In other instances, well-known protocols, structures and techniques have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure the invention.
As already stated, foregoing ineffective write operations reduces the number of write operations that occupy memory bandwidth. Foregoing ineffective write operations also reduces expenditure of resources in performing the write operations, such as power to evict an entry from cache and write a new, albeit same, value, power and time to write to the destination in underlying memory, etc.
At block 207, the write operation is performed in accordance with the implemented write policy (e.g., write-back, write-through, an intermediate write-through policy, etc.).
At block 209, the write operation is indicated as ineffective. For example, the location is not marked or updated, the location is set to 'valid' status, an indication is sent to a memory controller, a flag is set, etc. At block 211, the ineffective write operation is prevented from consuming memory bandwidth. If the write policy is write-back, then the current contents of the location are not marked as dirty and not evicted. Preventing eviction of a resident value from an ineffective write operation prevents the memory controller from performing a redundant write to system memory. In an exemplary system that implements a write-through write policy, a memory controller receives indication that an incoming or resident write operation is ineffective, and foregoes the write operation. In another exemplary illustration, a system may buffer write operations and write to system memory in batches. The memory controller invalidates those entries in the buffer that host ineffective write operations.
While the flow diagram shows a particular order of operations performed by certain realizations of the invention, it should be understood that such order is exemplary (e.g., alternative realizations may perform the operations in a different order, combine certain operations, overlap certain operations, perform certain operations in parallel, etc.).
Recognition and proper handling of ineffective write operation can be applied to a shared memory system to conserve resources. In a shared memory system, although a processing unit that owns a shared memory location may be aware that a write operation was ineffective, a controller for the shared memory may not be aware that the processing unit encountered an ineffective write operation. Even though a processing unit did not actually perform the ineffective write operation, the perspective of units external to the processing unit is that the write operation has been performed. For example, the directory at the memory controller of the shared memory changes state for the shared memory location to "M" to reflect that the owning processing unit has modified the data and that the data at the shared memory location is dirty, contrary to the actual events. To remedy this disparity between the externally perceived state of the data at the shared memory location and the actual state of the data, the owning processing unit can respond with an indication (e.g., an acknowledgement packet) that the data at the shared memory location is current (i.e., that the owning processing unit has not changed the data). Such an indication can be done without consuming a large amount of bandwidth (e.g., transmitting a byte size packet instead of a packet with data from an entire line of cache).
It is assumed that the node 405 includes logic to determine whether a write operation is ineffective, such as that depicted in
Communicating that the preceding write operations by the owning processing unit have been ineffective (i.e., there has been no change in the data despite the occurrence of write operations) with such an indication maintain coherency without unnecessarily over-consuming resources, while preserving already supported coherency protocols.
The described invention may be provided as a computer program product, or software, that may include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which may be used to program a computer system (or other electronic devices) to perform a process according to the present invention. A machine readable medium includes any mechanism for storing information in a form (e.g., software, processing application) readable by a machine and/or cluster of machines (e.g., a computer or network of computers). The machine-readable medium may include, but is not limited to, magnetic storage medium (e.g., floppy diskette); optical storage medium (e.g., CD-ROM); magneto-optical storage medium; read only memory (ROM); random access memory (RAM); erasable programmable memory (e.g., EPROM and EEPROM); flash memory; or other types of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions.
While the invention has been described with reference to various realizations, it will be understood that these realizations are illustrative and that the additions, and improvements are possible. For example, the described invention has presumed write operations between cache and system memory, although the described invention may be applied at any level of a memory hierarchy. The underlying memory may be persistent storage. Hence, write operations that are ineffective, as determined with values from system memory, are not written to corresponding locations in persistent storage. Similarly, the underlying memory may be L2 cache instead of system memory. Hence, values from L1 cache are compared with values of write operations destined for L2 cache, and the values of ineffective write operations are not written to the L2 cache. More generally, realizations in accordance with the present invention have been described in the context of particular realizations. These realizations are meant to be illustrative and not limiting. Accordingly, plural instances may be provided for components described herein as a single instance. For instance, the examples herein depict shared memory as a single block with a single memory controller. However, shared memory may be realized with multiple separate physical instances, controlled by corresponding memory controllers (e.g., two memory controllers controlling three or more memory units that are shared in a system, a memory controller for each shared memory unit, etc.). Boundaries between various components, operations and data stores are somewhat arbitrary, and particular operations are illustrated in the context of specific illustrative configurations. Other allocations of functionality are envisioned and may fall within the scope of claims that follow. Finally, structures and functionality presented as discrete components in the exemplary configurations may be implemented as a combined structure or component. These and other variations, modifications, additions, and improvements may fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims that follow.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 137,146 filed Apr. 25, 1971 now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a novel box or receptacle for receiving electrical components such as outlets, switches and the like and more specifically to a novel receptacle or box especially suitable for use in wiring systems in buildings, mobile homes and the like.
In the construction industry, components for electrical wiring have been standardized as to certain dimensions and sizes. This permits components of various manufacturers to be interchanged with each other. Boxes or receptacles adapted to mount electrical outlets, switches and the like generally have standardized dimensions so that they may receive electrical components of standard size as well as cover plates of standard size.
The receptacles or boxes as well as other components usually must meet the specifications of various electrical codes or standards established by Underwriters. One specification for receptacles or outlet boxes relates to the volume within the box. In many instances prior receptacles or boxes do not have sufficient internal volume to meet code requirements and this is especially true in receptacles or boxes which are to be used in mobile home construction which usually has a thinner wall than a conventional building.
In my co-pending application Ser. No. 888,258 filed Dec. 29, 1969, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, there is disclosed a box construction incorporating two or more box members adapted to be telescopically associated with and/or assembled from behind a wall to obtain significantly increased volumetric capacity. While such heretofore proposed structures are satisfactory in many instances, the present invention contemplates a novel receptacle or box structure which is of simplified and more economical construction and which may be readily assembled through a wall opening of standard size from the outside thereof while still providing significantly increased internal volumetric capacity.
More specifically, it is an important object of the present invention to provide a novel receptacle or box structure having a first portion adapted to receive electrical outlets, switches, cover plates and the like of standard dimensions and a second laterally extending portion for increasing the internal volume of the structure, which receptacle is constructed so that it may be readily assembled through an opening in a wall panel or surface of standard size and then manipulated so as to position said second portion behind the wall panel and the first receptacle portion in alignment with the opening.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel receptacle or box structure of the above described type which may be easily and economically molded from plastic or other suitable materials.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel receptacle or box structure of the above described type having mounting portions which may be readily manipulated for accommodating minor dimensional variations in a wall opening in which the device is to be mounted for minimizing the necessity of holding close manufacturing tolerances.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a novel receptacle or box structure of the above described type having mounting portions cooperable with fasteners such as screws for minimizing any possibility of inadvertent loosening of the fasteners.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a receptacle or a box structure incorporating features of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the box structure in an assembled condition;
FIG. 3 is a right hand end view of the box structure shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view showing a box structure incorporating features of the present invention assembled in a wall;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5, but showing the box or receptacle in an intermediate stage of assembly with the wall; and
FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along line 7--7 of FIG. 5.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings wherein like parts are designated by the same numerals throughout the various figures, a receptacle or box structure 10 is shown which incorporates features of the present invention. The box structure is adapted to be mounted in wall 12 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. While the box structure of the present invention may be used in various wall constructions, it is especially suitable for use in walls of mobile homes which are relatively thin as compared with walls in conventional buildings.
For purposes of illustrating one application of the present invention, the wall 12 comprises a front panel 14 secured to a plurality of studs 16. An opening 18 of conventional dimensions for receiving an outlet box or receptacle is formed in the panel 14. The wall is completed by a back panel 20 is secured to the studs oppositely from the front panel 14 as shown in FIG. 5. As indicated in FIG. 6, the receptacle or box 10 may be assembled with the wall structure prior to the time when the back panel 20 is secured to the studs as will be described more in detail below.
In accordance with features of the present invention, the box structure 10 includes a main body member 22 and a cover member 24. The body member 22 is preferably molded in one piece from a tough resilient fire-resistant plastic material. The cover member 24 is also preferably molded from such a plastic material and the two parts are secured together as will be described below.
The main box or body member 22 is formed with a first box portion 26 having opposite side walls 28 and 30 joined by a bottom wall 32 and an end wall 34. The side and end walls 28, 30, 34 have a height which is preferably similar to the thickness of the wall structure 12 and have outer edges or margins terminating in a substantially common plane for projecting through the opening 18 in the wall panel 14 when the box is assembled with the wall as shown in FIG. 5.
Bosses 36 and 38 are integrally formed with the side walls 28 and 30. These bosses respectively have screw or fastener accommodating apertures 40 and 42 formed therein and spaced from each other a distance established by predetermined standards so that the box portion 22 is adapted to receive and mount any standard electrical component such as a switch, electrical outlet or the like.
Mounting ears 44 and 46 are also integrally formed with the opposite side walls 28 and 30 of the box member and project laterally outwardly from upper margins thereof. The mounting ears are preferably in the form of generally U-shaped elements having leg portions integrally joined to the sides of the box and connecting the bight portions. Apertures 48 and 50 are formed in the leg portions of the U-shaped mounting element 44 and similar apertures 52 and 54 are formed in the leg portions of the U-shaped mounting element or ear 46 for accommodating fasteners such as screws and the like.
The plastic material from which the box member is formed is sufficiently tough and rigid to provide the box structure with the desired strength. At the same time, the plastic material is sufficiently resiliently yieldable so that the relatively thin U-shaped mounting elements or ears 44 and 46 may be manually manipulated and stretched or bent to align the fastener receiving apertures therein with complementary apertures or portions of the wall structure into which the fasteners are to be driven.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, screws 56 are used as the fasteners for securing the box with respect to the wall structure 12. As shown particularly in FIG. 7, the diameter of the apertures 48, 50, 52 and 54 is initially less than the diameter of the screw shank so that the resilient plastic material of the mounting ears serves tightly to grip the fastening screws in a manner which resists retrograde rotation of the screws and effectively locks the screws against accidental loosening.
In addition to the first portion 26, the main box member 22 includes a second portion 58. The second box portion projects laterally from the first portion and comprises opposite side walls 60 and 62 and a bottom wall 64 which are respectively continuations of the sidewalls 28 and 30 and the bottom wall 32. The box portion 58 also has an end wall 66 oppositely disposed from the end wall 34. Box portions 22 and 58 are in open communication with each other so that the combined interior volumes thereof make up the total capacity of the box structure.
In order to provide clearance for the wall panel when the box structure is assembled in the wall, upper margins of the walls 60, 62 and 66 are disposed in a plane offset from the plane of the upper margins of the walls 28, 30 and 34 a distance similar to but greater than the thickness of the wall panel 14. The cover or top member 24 is preferably molded in one piece and includes a cover panel 68 having a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the box portion 58 for completely overlying the upper margins of the wall sections 60, 62 and 66. In addition the cover member has an upstanding wall or flange portion 70 adapted to abut free upstanding edge portions 71 and 73 of the first box portion walls 28 and 30. The wall section or flange 70 extends so that its outer or upper free marginal edge is disposed in the same plane as the upper edges of the wall sections 28, 30 and 34. Thus, the flange 70 serves to complete the side enclosure of the box portion 26 when the parts are fully assembled with each other as shown best in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The cover member 24 is permanently secured to the main box member 22. More specifically, the main box member is provided with a plurality of integral studs 72 projecting upwardly from the wall sections 60 and 62 and arranged for entering complementary apertures 74 located adjacent the four corners of the cover panel 68. While as indicated above, the plastic material from which the box structure is formed is preferably fire resistant, it is also preferably thermoplastic. Thus, the cover member may be easily secured to the main box member by melting end portions of the studs 70 and immediately adjacent areas of the cover panel for providing a welded connection, as indicated best at 76 in FIG. 4.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the opening 18 of the wall panel 14 with which the box structure is to be assembled is preferably formed so that it has a width similar to but slightly greater than the width of the box portion 26. Preferably the dimensions of the box portion 26 are essentially the same as corresponding dimensions of standard wall outlets or switch boxes and similarly the dimensions of the opening 18 are in accordance with usual standards so that the box and the opening may be covered with a standard switch or cover plate, not shown. The overall height or thickness of the box structure and particularly the box portion 58 is less than the width of the opening 18 in the direction viewed in FIG. 5 so as to permit assembly of the box structure with the wall.
As previously indicated, the box structure 10 is adapted to be assembled with the wall structure 12 from the front or outer side of the panel 14. In assembling the box structure with the wall, the box portion 58 is first inserted through the opening 18 as shown in FIG. 6. It is to be noted that the end wall 34 of the box has an arcuate configuration so as to avoid interference with the edge of the opening 18 during assembly of the box with the wall 12. More specifically, the end wall 34 preferably has a substantially straight or flat section extending inwardly from its upper or outer edge a distance at least substantially as great as the thickness of the wall panel 14, which straight or flat section merges with an arcuate section having a curvature or radius such that the distance between the outer surface of the wall 34 at all locations and points 78 indicated in FIG. 6 generally at the opposite side of the box portion 26 and engageable with the wall panel 14 during assembly of the box with the wall 12, is not greater than the width of the opening 18. Thus, during assembly of the box with the wall structure 12, the box may be initially inserted through the opening 18 as shown in FIG. 6 and then pivoted generally around the points 78 to the position shown in FIG. 5, at which position the mounting elements or ears 44 and 46 will be flush against the outer surface of the wall panel 14. Final securing of the box in the mounted position is accomplished by applying fasteners 56 in the manner described above.
After the box is assembled with the wall, an electrical outlet, switch or the like may be mounted in the box in the usual fashion. Knock out elements 80 are provided at any desired location in the various walls of the box structure. These knock out elements are connected with the wall by relatively thin easily rupturable joints so that one or more of the knock out elements can be removed for permitting the connection of electrical wires or conduits with the box in a known manner.
As shown in the drawings, a pair of the knock out elements 80 is preferably provided in each of the side walls 28 and 30 of the box portion 26. It is to be noted that these knock out portions are not centered with respect to the electrical switch or outlet mounting bosses, but to the contrary, are offset in a direction toward the laterally extending box portion 58. This arrangement provides clearance for the arcuate or curved portion of the end wall 34 and also enables wires to be brought into the box at locations selectively offset or in general alignment with the terminals with which they are to be connected so that an electrician may select an arrangement which facilitates the final electrical connection of the wires. In addition to the knock out elements in the opposite sides of the box, similar knock out elements are preferably provided in the end wall 66.
While a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described herein, it is obvious that many structural details may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Fade Away Lyrics
Artist: Chris Isaak
Album: Chris Isaak
Flowers and gardens, abandoned from view.
Cry for their love, like I do.
People throw their love to whisper, think of all the boys who've kissed her.
But to me it dosen't matter they, fade away they fade away.
Fade away.
When we meet we feel together, now she's gone I can't forget her.
Love is chance but time won't let her, fade away and fade away.
Fade away, fade away.
( Guitar Solo )
Alot of flowers in this world are never seen.
I wanna hold your love, I wanna win your love for me.
Fade away.
For me there was no sunshine, for me there was no rain.
For me until I meet you, every day was the same.
Fade away, fade away, fade away.
Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away.
Fade, fade, fade, fade away.
Fade......away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away.

Recipe by tattooedsuess
"I love this recipe because it's easy to whip up in a hurry and makes good use out of our leftover couscous and shredded cheese."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
cauliflower florets
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups
cooked couscous
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
butter to taste
I thought this was excellent. All the other reviewers said that it could use a boost in flavor, so I looked through my kitchen and found some ingredients to spice it up. Prepared the cauliflower and couscous as directed. I sauted garlic, black pepper, and chicken in margarine for about 2-4 minutes. Then I chopped some green onions, and stirred this all together in an 8x8 pan. I added salt and more fresh ground black pepper before mixing in both mozzarella and cheddar. Probably about 2 cups? It was excellent. I would have liked plain I am sure, but my bf is not a big couscous fan. Really great with leftovers, or as a side to a flavorful dish.
Pretty bland, but great room for potential. Probably would do a broccoli/cauliflower mix and throw in some other veggies too for a more flavorful/aesthetically pleasing dish.
20 Ratings
this was not bad, but i would say that i'll use it as a base in the future, using perhaps a mixture of veggies and maybe a few more spices.
This was pretty good. I used broccoli instead of cauliflower. I just cooked the couscous and broccoli together on the stovetop with a few cloves of garlic and salt and pepper, and then added the cheddar cheese.
I followed the recipe exactly (have made a similar recipe before) butthis was just so bland, even with adding extra pepper jack cheese. Its a quick and easy side dish but needs something to kick it up quite a bit
Tasteless and dry.
I also added some additional simple ingredients s&p, and broccoli and scallions. It was very good!
This was a great recipe I made this to go with a Steak Marsala that I made in my slow cooker. Instead of cauliflower I used broccoli! Very good and could go with any steak or chicken dish.

Possibly the best-loved of all ballets are "Giselle," "La Bayadère," and "Swan Lake." Known as the White Ballets, they each tell stories of ethereal maidens costumed in floating white, who seem to be lovely creatures suspended somewhere between heaven and earth.It is every ballerina's dream to dance "Giselle." Despite being frail, the simple peasant girl, Giselle, can't give up dancing. She is afraid that if she dies before she weds, she will become a Wili, a spirit maiden who haunts the forests seeking revenge on young men. Though she can't change her own fate, she finds a way to save the one she loves.Nikiya is a beautiful temple dancer, a bayadère. She fights tradition when she falls in love with the warrior Solor. Solor has already been promised to a well-born girl, but he risks everything for Nikiya."Swan Lake" is also about recognizing true love and risking everything for it. Prince Siegfried meets Odile by the shores of a mysterious lake and he vows to marry her. But Odile is under a curse: she must spend every day in the form of a swan and is only human for a few hours during the night. If they are to spend eternity together, Siegfried has to find a way to lift the curse.Rajka Kupesic, herself a dancer, has retold the stories and set them against her breathtaking art to create a book to cherish. Notes about the ballets are included.

Megan, you look wonderful!!! I'm sure you are just savoring every moment of this time!!! :)ReplyDelete
My biggest craving during my pregnancy was cold turkey sandwiches and I couldn't have them!!! :( But guess what I ate for two months straight after delivery? :)ReplyDelete
Glad you are doing well Megan! Thats cute (and annoying) about Luke waking you up to tell you that you are on your back. haha. Hope you guys have a great week :)ReplyDelete
Hi Megan, I pop over to your blog every once in a while (from in this wonderful life), and am just now seeing your wonderful news! Congratulations! You're the cutest little preggo I've ever seen! :)ReplyDelete
Yay!!! You look great!!ReplyDelete
So exciting! You look amazing!! It would be so tough for me to give up Diet Coke too...but you get a sweet baby out of it! :)ReplyDelete
You are so adorable! and yay for your fist baby gift! so fun!ReplyDelete
I've been reading your blog for awhile, but I can't remember if I have every commented, anyway you look great!ReplyDelete
You look adorable!! Cute little baby bump!ReplyDelete
I'm 2 weeks away from my due date and I agree with everyone else...the 2nd trimester is the best!
One thing on the back sleeping, I was not getting sleep because I was so concerned about being on my back. I asked my doctor and she said it really isn't an issue until the 3rd trimester when your belly & baby get heavy. Also, she recommended a maternity pillow, The Snoogle, and it has changed my pregnancy sleeping! It keeps me on my side. It's a little expensive but worth EVERY penny!!
You look great Megan!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Did you know its not a concern to sleep on the left side until around 25 weeks? That was something I learned in my second pregnancy. I soaked up all the back sleeping I could get, and even then, my doctor said the body has a way to regulate getting enough blood to the baby, and people naturally roll over. Whew. That made me feel a lot less nervous!ReplyDelete
My doctor also said soda and coffee are as okay as if you aren't pregnant. He discourages both across the board, but told me that I could have a soda every day. I just couldn't have 12. Again, this helped me chill out a lot!!!!!
I've never heard of Pita Pit. Now I am curious!!!
