Hi Guys,
I'm hoping you can help me out here.
I'm using squared on this site: www.daralinn.ie
It works perfectly in Safari and Chrome, but when I open the page in Firefox for Mac V23.01 the images won't appear. (I don't know if its the same for firefox for PC.)
I'm just wondering if you could have a look and offer any advice as to how I might fix this.
(I'm using the latest version of DMS and Squared.)
Thanks a million.

Defenseman Aaron Ekblad - who was selected 1st overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft - was diagnosed with a concussion after getting hit in an exhibition game between Team Canada and the Czech Republic.
Don Cherry was upset about the incident, wondering why the highly-touted prospect was even playing. Over a series of tweets, Grapes voiced his displeasure. This is what he had to say:
"I'm upset watching Aaron Ekblad, the #1 draft pick, get nailed by a Czech player in a meaningless game and mini series for Team Canada. The hit was a Scott Stevens special. I ask you, why was Aaron even playing?
You know he's a lock to make the Junior Club and has a target on his back for being selected first overall in the NHL draft. Robby Fabbri, the sensation from the Memorial Cup playoffs is on crutches. Why? It doesn't make sense. Have the guys that are on the bubble play in these games. Smarten up Team Canada. The CHL and NHL are doing you a favour.
They don't have to let you have these players. What if Sam Reinhart and Connor McDavid got hurt too? Again. These guys are locks to make the team. Play the exhibition games with guys you want to see. Your star players getting hurt in a meaningless game in August does not make sense. Smarten up!"
Unfortunately, there's not even a video of the hit; emphasizing how unimportant the game actually was. In 2011, Ekblad became the first defenseman in history to be granted exceptional status by the CHL.

Not So Random
Lisa Knechtel
There are a lot of different views on coincidence. I like to believe that seemingly random events can be part of a greater design. Mind you, I don't know that I believe it, only that I like to believe it. What do you believe?
Artist's commentary:
I am drawn to all things tiny. When I was at a craft store I spotted these little letters. They are meant to be strung on a tiny ribbon and used for card making. They completely sucked me in and I had to buy them. I just knew I had to find a way to shoot them that would be interesting. I set up this macro shot and used a narrow DoF to pull the message out.
Artist's Finishing Recommendations:
FAA's fashionable and luminescent Acrylic Print would be my pick to compliment and enhance the vibrant colours of this piece. There are numerous attractive custom framing/matting options available to suit any decor. I encourage you to experiment by clicking on the finishing icons located above this text to choose your favorite finishing.

Entry way as defined by the Encyclopedia; "An entry way is a hall located at the front entrance of the house. An entryway usually has a coat closet, and usually has linoleum or tile flooring". It goes on to say "that many houses do not have an entry way...in these the front door leads directly into the foyer or some other room in the house".
I chuckled a little bit with the linoleum flooring...only because it is a little dated. It is funny to think that linoleum used to be all the rage. I also love that it says that many houses do not have an entry way. This is still true and I love how efficient and creative homeowners have become. If they do not have one...they simply make one with maybe a console, some hooks to hang things on and a little picture wall, mirror, or hats. Long gone are the days of hall closets. Sure, many homes still have them but a lot do not. It has become quite accepted and stylish to see boots, hats and coat mixed in as part of the design.
One of my favorite entry way's is this one by Tom Scheerer. Not only is it beautiful and charming but efficient. To have your hats at the front door is pretty smart as you can just grab one as you are walking out and it looks beautiful at the same time. Hats might be the next art wall:) Yes, probably one of the most charming entry's ever!! The white walls, the brown wood, the hats, the lantern, the textures...love!!
The image below is from Fieldstone Design. I think everything about this space is beautiful. And, big kudos to the designer for making a little entry when there is not a proper one. By placing that little table (and such a darling vignette that it is) it gives the feel of an entry and gives the homeowner a place to set down keys, mail, etc.
Image from Town and Country Living. Yes, please, I will take it all. The planked walls, the barn wood ceiling, the sconces, and the seating. Lovely.
I think it is fair to say that Heather Bullard's entryway is at the top of everyone's list. She is an amazing designer, stylist and photographer. Just beautiful. I think my favorite parts of this are the black dutch door, rug, and white wood flooring.
This image is from Brunch at Saks BlogSpot. I love how a narrow hallway was transformed into the cutest entry eva!!
Even though this photo is a bit dark...it is still so charming and efficient. I mean really all you need is a coat rack, a bench and if you are lucky a cute door and lighting:)
So pretty from Pinterest
I did a previous home tour on this lovely house of Chay Wike's. This image is from Apartment Therapy. This is one of my favorite houses of all time!
From Pinterest...stunning styling!
Now, on to our house. I probably should have put ours first because after all these beauties..well you know. And, I only have a couple of photos that are properly photographed. The others are iphone pics. So, we have a different situation. Our entry way is kind of too big. I am not complaining but it was a lot to furnish. Instead of maybe one console and some art work...I had 4 walls to fill!! So, I filled it with some of my favorite things...benches and art work. Benches are probably the least expensive piece of furniture I have found and personally I think they make as much of an impact as a console. So, here it is..in a couple of photos because the space is too big to capture in one!! And probably not that efficient!

I am really happy with our entry as it houses some of my favorite things. But all you really need is one small wall or hallway to make it the most charming entry. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression:)

53 Celebrities Who Have Been Homeless
List Criteria: List of notable homeless celebrities
List of Famous People Who Were Homeless, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. A surprising number of famous actors, musicians, and businessmen have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. Most use their struggles as inspiration to realize their greatest goals. Are you in need of some inspiring success stories? Check out this list of celebrities were homeless.
Who is the most famous person who was homeless? Superstar Jennifer Lopez tops our list. Lopez was kicked out of her home for choosing to pursue a career in dance rather than a college education. For weeks after, she spent all of her time at the dance studio and even slept there since she could not afford another place to stay. Other successful women who have been homeless include Halle Berry, Carmen Electra, and Jewel.
Tyler Perry may have an estimated net worth of $400 million, but the Madea mastermind lived out of his car when he was a struggling playwright. Other people who have had great success after struggling with homelessness include Steve Jobs, David Letterman, and Paul Mitchell founder John Paul DeJoria.
What do you think of all of the celebrities who used to be homeless? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Raleigh, NC (Sports Network) - Mike Ribeiro scored the go-ahead goal with 2:16 remaining as the Washington Capitals rallied past the Carolina Hurricanes, 3-2, to split a home-and-home series.
Alex Ovechkin had a goal and an assist for the Capitals, who avenged a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday. Joey Crabb also lit the lamp in the win.
Michal Neuvirth made 36 saves for Washington, which snapped a three-game skid as well.
Alexander Semin and Patrick Dwyer scored for the Hurricanes, who had won six of seven coming in. Dan Ellis stopped 22-of-25 shots.
With the game tied and time winding down in regulation, Ovechkin came off the bench and took a pass from John Carlson before skating in on a breakaway and hitting the post. The puck was sitting on the goal line for Ribeiro, who guided it into the back of the net.
Carolina pulled Ellis for an extra attacker in the final minute, and went up another man when Nicklas Backstrom went to the box for holding with 15.5 seconds to play.
Neuvirth, however, held strong between the pipes to secure the come-from- behind victory.
"We can't be happy. We had a really well executed first period. We let them back in it," said Carolina head coach Kirk Muller.
The Hurricanes drew first blood at the 1:14 mark of the first period. Eric Staal found Semin open in front and the former Capital beat Neuvirth.
Dwyer's tip-in at the 8:17 mark extended Carolina's margin to two. Tim Gleason's shot from the left point was deflected by Dwyer in the high slot, with the change of direction fooling Neuvirth.
Washington got on the board at the 5:56 mark of the middle stanza, when Aaron Volpatti's cross-ice pass from along the left boards was tipped in by Crabb.
"(The goal) gave us a lot of life and we got through the second period just down one," said Washington head coach Adam Oates.
Ovechkin tied the game just 1:01 into the third frame. Backstrom's no-look pass from behind the net deflected off Ellis' stick and went to Troy Brouwer at the right circle. He quickly slid a pass over to Ovechkin, who found the back of the net.

10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the substance is a powder and the electrical characteristics of the powder are optimized by the addition of carriers, or by surface treatment of the powder, and wherein a correct particle size and particle structure is used.
This is a continuation of copending international application PCT/SE96/00807 filed Jun. 19, 1996, which designates the United States.
The present invention relates to a device for electrical dosing of pure substances, or preparations consisting of chemical and biological substances mainly used as drugs, whereby the substances to be dosed first of all are in the form of dry powders, but may also be in the form of small drops or aerosols.
The dosing of drugs are carried out in a number of different ways in the medical service. In the medical service there are today for dry powders and aerosols a number of different inhalers in use, which all have as a common object to supply a substance to the lung through the patients own inspiration. The substances or mixtures of substances today used in the medical service are all developed to be supplied by means of a deep breath, which means high local velocities, which in turn means that a certain amount of the substance will stick to the airways and to the inhaler. The amount of substance in this way sticking also varies from individual to individual due to the individual way of breathing. This low efficiency and low dosing precision either means an increased risk for side effects if a too large dose is supplied, or risk for low effect if a too small dose is supplied. Thus, it is of the utmost importance that the dosing can be coordinated with the inspiration when using inhalers.
A method of improving the efficiency of an inhaler is disclosed in two patent documents, WO-9419042 and WO-9515353. The method means that the substance (powder or aerosol) is being electrically charged after the dosing and the distribution of the substance to the lung is in this way improved. The static electric charging of the substance is said to imply a more even distribution of the substance in the air stream at inspiration and therefore not sticking on to the inhaler or the airways to the same extent. The patent discloses a normal mechanical dosing. The inhalers of today, the usage of which increase strongly, accordingly do have a number of disadvantages which after all limit their efficiency and usage. The following list of items exemplifies some of these disadvantages:
A varying concentration of substance in the inhaled air.
A very large proportion of the substance sticks on to the inhaler and/or the airways.
Deviations in the inspiratory process can result in great deviations in the dose emitted to the lung.
Today, only a small number of substances can be used in inhalers according to prior art.
The amount of substance emitted to the lung can vary from patient to patient and between different dosing occasions.
Inhalers according to prior art are generally not meant for repeated reuse.
The present invention relates to a device for electrical dosing of pure substances or preparations consisting of chemical and biological substances, which substances are mainly used as medicaments. The substances to be dosed are mainly in the form of dry powder, but may also be in the form of droplets or aerosols.
In particular, the present invention is meant to be applied at the construction of a new continuous inhaler, which thereby gives a number of advantages in comparison to inhalers according to prior art which are found on the market today.
The invention according to the independent claim 1 relates to a device in a continuous inhaler with a capacity of dosing a great number of different substances. With continuous inhaler is meant an equipment allowing a substance to be supplied continuously or by a repeated number of small doses with such a frequency that the result from the inhaler can be characterized as continuous. Dosing is connected to the air flow and the concentration and amount is controlled during the inspiratory process. This means a more even supply of substance and thereby a possibility to increase the amount of substance to the lung compared to the inhalers existing today.
The inhaler thus created is suitably equipped so as to be programmable to be directly flexible to the special preconditions of every patient with respect to inspiratory characteristics, need of substance, number of doses and dosing intervals. The new inhaler is first of all meant to be portable, but may also be stationary.
The dependent claims 2 to 13 relate to different embodiments of the present invention.
The invention will be described in terms of a preferred and illuminating embodiment taking reference to the appended drawings where like reference symbols denote like or corresponding element, where:
FIG. 1 shows an outline sketch of the function of an inhaler in accordance with the present invention,
FIG. 2 shows a side view of an illuminating embodiment of the inhaler constructed in accordance with FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 shows the inhaler according to FIG. 2 in a view from above.
1. Technical description
The substances which are to be dosed are mainly in the form of dry powder, but may also be in form of small drops and aerosols. Henceforth, in connection with the description of an illustrative embodiment powder will be used as a common name for all types of substances or preparations of substances which are to be dosed.
In FIG. 1 an outline sketch illustrating the invention in a simple way is shown. To the right in the sketch is provided a space 22 for storing the powder. In the same space an electric field is generated by means of an electrode device 23, which is given a suitable electric potential. The object of the electric field is the static charging of the powder particles. Said particles are then attracted to and sticking on to a rotating dosing drum 24 having the electric potential of approximately +/-0 V. During the rotation superfluous powder is removed by means of a smoothing device 25. When the drum has completed half a revolution the powder will be exposed to a second electric field generated by a second electrode device 32 with a suitable opposite potential, whereby the powder is loosened and moved away from the drum 27 to an air stream 13, which is obtained from an inspiration, and is then mixed with said air stream and further transported out through the inhaler nozzle 12. On its way the powder passes an electronic grid 28 for the regulation of the dosing and a deionizing zone 30. The correct dose in form of a homogenous air/powder mixture then passes out through the mouth piece or nozzle 12.
In FIGS. 2 and 3 an illustrative embodiment of an inhaler in accordance with the present invention is shown. The inhaler has a cover 11, which is completely closed in order to prevent dust and moisture from penetrating. When choosing the material for the manufacturing of the cover 11 and other mechanical parts the electric properties of the material is suitably devoted special attention in order to prevent the accumulation of powder in the wrong places. Also the cover 11 is preferably constructed with such a design that the least possible amount of powder can stick. The size of the inhaler is thus adapted that it can be carried in for example the pocket of a jacket. Inspiration is done through a nozzle 12 in the front portion of the inhaler and the air is at inspiration sucked in through a filter 13 on the underside of the inhaler. During the passage through the inhaler another filtration 14 and the measurement of the air velocity 15 takes place before the air is mixed with powder in the diffusor 16 in front of the nozzle 12.
The powder, which is stored in a cartridge, which may also contain a drying agent to ensure a correct level of humidity, is supplied to the inhaler through an opening 21 (see FIG. 3) on top of the inhaler. The opening is hermetically shut after the charging. The powder cartridge is preferably designed such that it automatically opens at the loading so that the powder is discharged in the storing space 22 of the inhaler and that also the closing takes place in the same operation. The amount of powder is adapted to the needs of the patient and can normally cover for example a complete period of treatment. In the storing space 22 of the powder there is an electrode 23, which when the inhaler is to be used is charged to a suitable voltage and then generates a field which in turn charges the powder particles to a suitable electrostatic potential. In the same space, further, a rotating dosing drum 24 with a different potential is provided, to which the powder particles will be attracted and stick. In order to obtain a smooth layer of powder on the cylinder a smoothing device 25 is provided. For cleaning the drum before the surface is coated with powder, a cleaning device 26, e.g., in the form of a rotating brush, is provided. When the dosing drum 24 rotates and the smoothed powder comes over to the other side 27 of the drum the powder will be influenced by a second electric field of an opposite potential, which thereby loosens the powder and transports it in the direction away from the drum. On the way to the nozzle 12 the powder passes through an electric grid 28 which regulates the amount of powder emitted from the dosing drum 27 and subsequently through a pipe containing a powder accelerator 29 and possibly a deionizing zone 30. After this the powder mixes with the inhaled air in a diffusor 16.
All the regulation, monitoring and memory functions are handled by a microprocessor 42 which is connected to a function indicator 43. Prior to the usage of the inhaler in order to provide correct dosing as well as providing correct control of the different functions of the inhaler the microprocessor is programmed through an external connection in accordance with prior art, so that an optimum result is to be achieved.
To supply the inhaler with power a rechargeable battery 41 is provided, which by means of an external switch on the cover of the inhaler can be switched on and off. For the driving of the mechanical equipment a motor 44 is supplied, which is coupled, among other things, to the driving means of the dosing drum in a way which is known in the art.
2. A mode of operation.
The function of the inhaler is based on dosing by means of the electric charging of a powder in a way which is described in the literature concerning modern printers and copy machines. The principle is illustrated in FIG. 1 and can briefly be described in the following way.
The powder 22 is statically charged by means in an electric field which is generated by an electrode device 23 with a suitable voltage. The powder will then be attracted to a device, in this case a rotating dosing drum 24, which has a potential of approximately +/-0 V. The drum 24 will in this way continuously be coated with a thin layer of powder. On the opposite side 27 of the drum a suitable amount of powder is loosened by means of an electrode device 32 with an suitable opposite potential. The in this way dosed amount of powder is then drawn away and mixed by means of the air stream resulting from the inspiration, and continues through the inhaler and down into the patients lung system. The amount of powder emitted from the dosing position is regulated in many ways, for example by means of an electronic grid 28. If necessary, deionizing 30 takes place before the air/powder mixture leaves the inhaler 12. The loosening of a powder can be accomplished either intermittently in small doses which through the volume coming out from the inhaler will be understood as continuous, or through a truly continuous process where the dose is continuously emitted.
The demands on the electric properties of the powder are specific in the same way as when powder is dosed in a printer. To obtain the correct electric properties it is sometimes necessary to make some sort of preparation of the powder prior to usage. This preparation could for example be a micronisation of the powder to the correct size, preparations together with carriers having the right electric properties and or a surface treatment of the powder. An adaptation to the properties of the powder can also be done through choosing a suitable method for the electrostatic charging of the powder. Examples of different types of charging procedures are coronacharging, tribocharging and inductive charging. The charging procedure is connected to the microprocessor of the inhaler which is thereby programmed in a way known in the art in order to achieve an optimum result.
The amount of powder emitted is through the microprocessor connected to the air velocity through the inhaler in order to provide an as even as possible dose throughout the dosing process. This is advantageous since it means less powder deposits in the mouth and in other parts of the airways resulting from this procedure. The amount of air is measured by means of an airflow gauge 15 and the amount of powder is measured and dosed electrically by means of the electronic grid 28. The micro processor 42 stores and processes the results from the measurements throughout the dosing process in order to secure a correct emitted dose from the inhaler. By means of a function indicator 43 the inhaler warns if the inhalation should be incorrect, and for example too low a dose has been emitted. If a correct dose is emitted the inhaler gives a clearance and verifies and stores the emitted total dose.
After being emitted from the dosing equipment, depending on its properties, the powder may need some after-treatment as for example deionization 30, but also deagglomeration, separation of carriers and so forth, which is then carried out in the dose treatment member 29 of the inhaler, located in the flow direction subsequent to the dose emittance means. The dose treatment member is suitably equipped in accordance with the demands set by each powder.
Subsequent to being after-treated in the dose treatment member 29, 30 the powder is emitted through the nozzle 12 of the inhaler into the mouth of the patient for further transportation down into the lung. The nozzle 12 is designed so as to give the least possible substance deposit on teeth and in the oral cavity as well as achieving the least possible difference in air velocity between the inhaler and the oral cavity in order to minimize the ejector effect and thereby minimizing the risk for the substance being "shot" at the mucous membrane in the oral cavity. The nozzle 12 can be designed in alternatives ways to suit other types of administration of powder. In order to avoid the patient and the inhaler having different electric potentials at the inhalation, the nozzle of the inhaler is provided with an electrically conductive portion which is in contact with the patients mouth at the inhalation. In the case of different potentials the risk of powder deposits in the oral cavity or the upper airways increases.
Thus, the purpose of the inhaler according to the present invention is that no extra heavy breath shall be needed when inhaling but only, basically, a continuously normally calm but suitably deep breath. Inhalation of the at the time preferred total dose can, if necessary, thereby also take place by means of a number of subsequent breaths whereby the inhaler in accordance with the invention automatically regulates the dispensing of a correct amount of powder.
When the switch of the inhaler is put in the "on" position it automatically enters the stand-by position. The inhaler is then put to the mouth and when the inspiration starts the air flow sensor gives a signal to the micro processor, which immediately starts the dosing of the powder. Then, the micro processor controls the dosing process throughout the inspiration and makes sure that the correct dose has been emitted. When the patient has switched off the inhaler after usage, it is shut by for example placing a tight hood over the air intake as well as over the nozzle, thereby protecting the container of the substance, as well as all other moist sensitive details, from from moisture. The inhaler can therefore be brought in for example the pocket of a jacket or in a purse. The inhaler, which must always be personal, can thereby give the physician a possibility of following up the usage of the inhaler and the doses taken by the patient.
The micro processor is preferably programmed by means of one or more sample inspirations done by the patient, the characteristics of which is registered by and stored in the micro processor. This programming means that the dosing can be completely adapted to the inspiratory characteristics of every patient.
The regeneration of the inhaler with new powder is achieved by the insertion of a new powder cartridge in the inhaler and the resetting of the micro processor 42 of the inhaler. The battery 41 of the inhaler is in the preferred embodiment in itself an exchangeable but also rechargeable battery, which at suitable occasions is connected for recharging by means of a standard recharging device well known in the art and commercially accessible to the public.

text: Loved the location way down Bourbon - great proximity to Jackson Square, Frenchman, and City Park. We'll pick a different room next time (we were on the first floor of the mansion, lots of foot traffic), but top notch place. Cool little kitchen with quick bites of food/coffee and access to balcony seating/view.

California now may seek recovery from any real or personal property or any other assets in which the individual had any legal title to or interest in at the time of death Other real property: may be excluded if it is used in whole or in part as a business or means of self-support (you should see an attorney if you have other real property). Household goods and personal effects: totally exempt. Jewelry: for a single person, wedding, engagement rings and heirlooms, and items of jewelry with a net market value of $100 or less are totally exempt; for spouses, there is no limit on exempt jewelry for determining the institutionalized spouse's eligibility.
