Step 1: Materials
For this project you will need.
1. A T-Shirt a few sizes too big. I wear a size large and used a 2XL
2. A t-shirt that fits for a pattern
3. Scisors
4. Sewing equipment. I sewed mine by hand but a machine would be faster.
5. Pins. Lots of them.
6. A marker or chalk for lay out.
7. A tape measure
8. Snaps. I used sew on snaps but Velcro could also be used. (9mm shown in picture have since been replaced with stronger 21mm)
Step 2: Layout
2. Lay the smaller t-shirt on to of it with the tops aligned
3. With the marker or chalk draw a line straight down from the armpit seam of the large t-shirt to the bottom along the smaller shirt on both sides.
4. Take your round object and trace a radius from the line you just drew to the armpit of the t-shirt.
Step 3: Pinning
2. Carfuly slip the shirt on and decide where the split for the legs will be and mark it.
Step 4: Sewing the sides
This is freaking awesome, whatever you want to use it for. Only thing is, if your fairly tall, t-shirts do get wider, bu not a lot longer all the time, so you will need a VERY large shirt. Or a small adult.
Many thanks for the idea though!

Chesapeake, Va. – A naked intruder is accused of threatening an elderly Chesapeake couple with a knife as they were watching TV Wednesday morning.
Police have charged Mark Fulk, 21, with the break in. Jim and Helen Hardee say Fulk came in through the back, and was standing in their kitchen doorway, wearing only a small towel.
"Just barely makes it around him," Jim Hardee said.
At first, Fulk didn't seem threatening they say.
"He says, 'I'm in trouble and I need some help,'" Helen Hardee said.
Jim Hardee says Fulk asked to use his phone. Hardee says Fulk, bizarrely, decided to call 911.
"Evidently they asked your address and your name and everything, he was dissatisfied so he threw the phone," Jim Hardee said.
Then the Hardees say Fulk saw a knife on a family room table.
"He picked up the knife and he says, 'I'll kill you, I'll kill you both,'" Helen Hardee said.
"Said he was going to kill me, then he said he was going to kill my wife and then he said he was going to kill us both," Jim Hardee said. "At one point he said we're all three gonna die here."
Jim Hardee worried these weren't just empty threats from a seemingly confused man.
Newschannel 3 talked with Fulk's mother, she did not want to go on camera, but told our crew her son must have been having a nervous breakdown because that is the only thing that would be able to explain his behavior.
Court documents show Fulk has worked at Papa John's for the past five years and that he was a welding student at Tidewater Community College.
"When I tried to get up, he come over and leaned over to me and he held it, the knife like he was going to stab me," Jim Hardee said.
The Hardees say Fulk then demanded to use a cell phone, the second call didn't go any better than the first.
"He went to dial on that and all of a sudden he just threw it against the wall," Jim Hardee said.
Police then showed up, and when Fulk saw them, Jim Hardee says he just walked right out, seeming as though he didn't have "a care in the world."
By then, Hardee says Fulk had been naked for a few minutes. Fulk faces a laundry list of charges, including breaking and entering, indecent exposure and threatening to malicious wound.
He is being held without bond. Court documents show prosecutors may also press charges for attempted murder. His next day in court is in September.

In a recent Washington Post column, George Will overlooked the larger questions about whether a program that aims for the cheapest cost of care with no regard to patient outcomes is the ideal basis for policy to care for older Americans and people with disabilities. A program designed to cut the number of providers would inevitably reduce the ability of Medicare to serve the growing numbers of seniors and other patients who require medical care at home, especially in rural regions. The program constructed by Medicare ignores the services required to provide home medical equipment and therapies and treats home care as if it were a commodity, instead of recognizing it for what it is -- a life necessity.

The State of Texas is taking drastic measures to keep the money flowing for those looking for work.
The state unemployment insurance trust fund will run out of money next week, forcing the Texas Workforce Commission to borrow $643 million from the federal government to cover claims.
State officials say they've been overwhelmed by those applying for unemployment. "It's kind of a double-edged sword," said Tom Wilkinson, Brazos Valley Council of Governments. "As more people are drawing, less people are working, so less money is going in."
Barring a unexpected economic turnaround, up to 82,000 unemployed Texans could see their insurance trust fund benefits run out in the coming months.

I am so thrilled with this!
Hungry for Your Love
Edited by Lori Perkins, St. Martin's Griffin , $14.99 paper (384p) ISBN 978-0-312-65079-7
Perkins (Cowboy Lover) collects 21 zombie romance stories full of humor, horror, and love. Jaime Saare's "I Heart Brains" has an SF twist: a man infected with "the z-virus" shopping in a megamart for a gently used replacement body. In Jan Kozlowski's powerful "First Love Never Dies," a police detective learns of an undead sex slave operation run by his ex's abusive father. In Regina Riley's poignant "Undying Love," a long-suffering zombie seeks his lost lover. Gina McQueen's "Apocalypse as Foreplay," Jeanine McAdam's "Inhuman Resources," and Dana Fredsti's "First Date" are zippy stories about the sexy turn-on of successful zombie hunting. Stacy Brown's "The Magician's Apprentice" offers chills as a woman willingly gives up every bit of herself to please a man. Michael Marshall Smith's "Later" makes one man's heartbreak palpable when his girlfriend has a fatal accident. Voodoo magic, zombie-creating viruses, and inexplicable zombie apocalypses all make appearances, but effective storytelling moves beyond the reanimation and into the hearts and minds of the characters. (Oct.)

A display (10) utilizes a drive scheme that minimizes power dissipation by reducing the operating frequency at which columns (12) operate. The operating frequency is reduced by positioning column timing signals (32) near an end of a horizontal display time (38,39,48,49) if the next horizontal display time also has data to be displayed.
1. A method of controlling a field emission display comprising:
providing a field emission display having a first row, a second row, and a column, the first row overlying a first emitter and the second row overlying a second emitter;
applying a first voltage to the first row for a first time period;
applying a second voltage to the column near an end of the first time period for initiating electron emission from the first emitter during the first time period; and
maintaining the second voltage on the column while applying a third voltage to the second row for a second time period for initiating electron emission from the second emitter near a beginning of the second time period wherein the second time period occurs after the end of the first time period.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps of applying the first voltage, applying the second voltage, and applying the third voltage includes applying the first and third voltages that are less than the second voltage so that electron emission occurs.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps of applying the first voltage to the first row for the first time period and applying the third voltage to the second row for the second time period includes removing the first voltage at the end of the first time period and removing the third voltage at an end of the second time period wherein the removing is accomplished by making the first voltage and the third voltage approximately equal to the second voltage.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein maintaining the second voltage on the column includes removing the second voltage prior to an end of the second time period.
5. The method of claim 4 further including applying a fourth voltage to a third row for a third time period that is after the end of the second time period; and
applying the second voltage to the column near a beginning of the third time period for initiating electron emission from a third emitter during the third time period.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein applying the second voltage to the column near the beginning of the third time period includes removing the second voltage prior to an end of the third time period.
7. The method of claim 4 further including applying a fourth voltage to a third row for a third time period that is after the end of the second time period; and
applying the second voltage to the column near an end of the third time period for initiating electron emission from a third emitter during the third time period.
The present invention relates, in general, to display devices, and more particularly, to a novel method of controlling display devices.
Matrix addressing previously has been utilized in controlling a variety of display devices such as liquid crystal displays, light emitting diode displays, and field emission device displays. Matrix addressed displays generally have a number of rows and a number of columns that are formed as a X-Y matrix. Activating a particular row and a particular column results in a visual image where the row and column intersect or cross. Generally, each row is sequentially enabled and data is simultaneously applied to each column, thus, all columns are simultaneously enabled as each row is enabled.
One problem with such matrix addressing is the power dissipation. In field emission device displays, the majority of power dissipated within the display is capacitive power dissipation associated with switching the column capacitance of all the columns on and then off again for each row.
Accordingly, it is desirable to have a method of controlling a display that minimizes transitions on the columns of the display matrix thereby lowering the power dissipation and increasing the amount of time a display can operate from a battery.
FIG. 1 illustrates an enlarged cross-sectional portion of a display in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram illustrating timing relationships of the display of FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a circuit capable of developing the timing diagram illustrated in FIG. 2 in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an enlarged cross-sectional portion of a field emission device display 10 that utilizes matrix addressing. Display 10 includes a substrate 11 on which other portions of display 10 are formed. Substrate 11 typically is an insulating or semi-insulating material, for example, silicon having a dielectric layer or glass. In the preferred embodiment, substrate 11 is glass. A cathode conductor or column 12 generally is formed on a surface of substrate 11 and is utilized to interconnect emission tips or emitters 13 and 17 into a column of display 10. The material utilized for column 12 can be a metal or a low resistance layer such as doped polysilicon. A first extraction grid or first row 27 and a second extraction grid or second row 19 are electrically isolated from substrate 11 and from column 12 by a dielectric layer 16. Emitters 13 and 17 are utilized to emit electrons that are gathered by an anode 18 which is distally disposed from emitters 13 and 17. The space between anode 18 and rows 19 and 27 typically is evacuated to permit electron transit. The surface of anode 18 facing emitters 13 and 17 typically is coated with a phosphor in order to produce an image or display as electrons strike anode 18.
A first voltage source 23 is connected to first row 27 while a second voltage source 24 is connected to column 12 so that a voltage differential can be created between emitter 13 and row 27 to stimulate electron emission from emitter 13. Similarly, a third voltage source 26 is connected to second row 19 to stimulate electron emission from emitter 17. Each column of display 10 can have a large number of emitters, such as emitters 13 and 17. Additionally, display 10 can have a large number of columns, such as column 12, and a large number of rows such as rows 19 and 27.
FIG. 2 contains timing diagrams illustrating how voltage sources 23, 24, and 26 are utilized to control display 10 (FIG. 1). The row and column sequencing and timing of display 10 is selected to lower the operating frequency of column 12 (FIG. 1) and reduce the power dissipation of display 10 by a factor of 2 over prior art methods of controlling displays. This low power dissipation is achieved by controlling source 24 (FIG. 1) to minimize the number of transitions thereby reducing the frequency at which source 24 and column 12 operate. The explanation of FIG. 2 containing various references to the elements of display 10 shown in FIG. 1. Although only one column and two rows are shown, the technique is applicable to displays having many rows and many columns.
A first timing diagram 31 (V1) illustrates the output of source 23 shown in FIG. 1. A second timing diagram 33 (V3) illustrates the output of source 26, and a third timing diagram 32 (V2) illustrates the output of second voltage source 24. Also illustrated is a fourth diagram 41 (V4) that will be explained hereinafter. An HBLANK timing diagram 30 illustrates a horizontal blanking signal. When diagram 30 is active (high) display 10 is disabled to allow for data transitions. While diagram 30 is inactive (low) an individual line or row of display 10 is displayed, such a period is referred to as a horizontal display time or a display time. Each successive time that diagram 30 is inactive a subsequent row is scanned in order to provide another line in an image of display 10. Diagram 30 is shown for reference and is not necessary to the operation of display 10 (FIG. 1). Such horizontal blanking signals are well known to those skilled in the art. An individual row, such as row 19 or 27, of display 10 (FIG. 1) is active during each display time when diagram 30 is inactive. A first display time 38 (t1 to t3) represents the time that source 23 (V1) is active, while a second display time 39 (t4 to t6) represents the time that source 26 (V3) is active. A display time 48 represents the time that a subsequent row of display 10 (not shown in FIG. 1) is active as illustrated by a diagram 41.
Information to be displayed or data is applied to each individual column of display 10 (FIG. 1) simultaneously with or just prior to each individual row becoming active. The data determines if the emitter or group of emitters at the intersection of the active row and a column emits electrons. If the data is to result in displaying light, the voltage applied to the column is sufficient to cause electron emission from that particular emitter or group of emitters within that particular pixel. If no light is to be displayed, the voltage applied to the column is such that no electron emission is stimulated from the emitter at the intersection of the active column and the active row, consequently no light is generated. In order to stimulate electron emission during either display time 38 or display time 39, source 24 (V2) must have a lower potential than either source 23 (V1) or source 26 (V3), this is the active state of source 24. Consequently, diagram 32 is active when low. The active or inactive state of source 24 (V2) is determined by the data that is to be displayed at the location of either emitter 13 or emitter 17, respectively. For example, if data is to be displayed (i.e., electron emission is to occur) at the location of emitter 13, source 24 (V2) will have a low potential during display time 38 and if data is to be displayed at the location of emitter 17, source 24 (V2) will have a low potential during time 39. The length of time source 24 is at a low potential or active determines the intensity of the image displayed during either time 38 and or time 39. If source 24 (column 12) is active for the entire time row 27 is active, the image has maximum intensity. For lower intensity images, column 12 is active for less time than row 27. This is typically referred to as pulse width modulation.
In order to reduce the number of transitions on each column and reduce the power dissipation of display 10, the point within a display time that data is applied to a column to stimulate light (i.e., electron emission) varies depending upon the point within the previous display time that data was applied to the column. If the column currently is active at the end of the current display time, data will be applied to enable the column during the beginning of the next display time, and if the column currently is inactive at the end of the current display time, data is applied to enable the column at the end of the next display time. Consequently, if a column is in one state (active or inactive) at the end of one display time, and will be in the same state at the beginning of the next display time, it will remain in that state in between the two display times, thus, reducing the number of transitions made by the column. If the column will have different states at the end of one display time and the beginning of the next display time, the column will have a transition in between the two display times. Consequently, the actual percentage reduction in the number of transitions or operating frequency of the column over prior art techniques depends on the data to be displayed, but in general is reduced by up to approximately 50%. Table 1 below illustrates the column timing placement:
______________________________________Placement of Active Column State in theNext Display TimeCurrent Column State Position of Columnat End of Current State in NextDisplay Time Display Time______________________________________inactive endactive beginning______________________________________
end=active time measured from end of display time back toward beginning of the same display time, and
beginning=active time measured from beginning of the display time.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, at time t0 diagram 30 (HBLANK) is active so that display 10 (FIG. 1) is disabled. At time t1 diagram 30 becomes inactive and identifies a display time during which a row of display 10 can be enabled to facilitate forming an image on display 10. At time t1, diagram 31 (row 27 in FIG. 1) becomes active in order to facilitate forming an image on anode 18 (FIG. 1). If there is light to be displayed during this time, source 24 (FIG. 1) will have a lower voltage than source 23 for some portion of display time 38. At time t3, diagram 31 (row 27 in FIG. 1) becomes inactive followed by a horizontal blanking time 37 (indicated by an arrow), and diagram 33 (row 19) subsequently becoming active at time t4 during display time 39. Diagram 33 remains active until time t6 when another horizontal blanking time 43 (indicated by an arrow) occurs.
The point within display time 38 that column 12 (FIG. 1) becomes active is illustrated by diagram 32 (V2), and is determined as described hereinbefore and in previous Table 1. Because there was no previous display time, diagram 32 (column 12) is active during the end of display time 38. That is, the timing of diagram 32 is measured from the end of time 38 back toward the beginning of time 38 as shown by an arrow 34. This allows diagram 32 to be active during the end of the current display time and remain active into the subsequent display time 39, as shown by an arrow 36, thereby eliminating a transition of source 24 and column 12 (FIG. 1) and reducing the corresponding operating frequency. In such a case, diagram 32 and source 24 will remain active through the intervening horizontal blanking time and into the subsequent display time as indicated by the portion of diagram 32 between display times 38 and 39.
Timing diagram 41 illustrates an additional row (not shown in FIG, 1) that is driven by a voltage source V4 (not shown in FIG. 1) that is sequentially active after source 26 (V3). Diagram 41 (source V4) becomes active during a third display time 48. Because the state of diagram 32 at the end of display time 39 was inactive, diagram 32 becomes active at the end of time 48 as shown by an arrow 44. Diagram 32 also remains inactive through intervening horizontal blanking time 43, illustrated by an arrow, to reduce the number of transitions of source 24 and column 12 (FIG. 1) thereby lowering the associated operating frequency and power dissipation of display 10 (FIG. 1).
FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a control circuit 50 that compares the currently displayed pixel and the next pixel to be displayed, and generates an enable signal 59 that controls source 24 according to diagram 32 of FIG. 2 and Table 1 as indicated hereinbefore. Circuit 50 has two N-bit registers, where N represents the number of bits in the data word to be displayed and is also equal to number of bits in the register that holds data words to be displayed or pixel words. A current pixel register 51 contains the pixel word currently being displayed by display 10 of FIG. 1, and a next pixel register 52 contains the next pixel word to be displayed by display 10. The output of register 51 is applied to a downcounter 57, and the parallel outputs of counter 57 are ANDed together to create a clock signal for a column enable flip-flop 58. Signal 59 is the output of flip-flop 58. A select circuit 53 has a select output or select signal 61 that is utilized to select the position within a display time that source 24 (FIG. 1) is enabled as illustrated by arrows 34 and 36 of display times 38 and 39 in FIG. 2.
A pixel currently being displayed is in register 51, and a next pixel to be displayed is loaded into register 52. Circuit 53 ORs the outputs of register 52 together and creates a next signal 62, and also ORs together the outputs of register 51 to create a current signal 63. If the current pixel and the next pixel both have pixels to be displayed, both signals 62 and 63 will be active indicating that the next pixel timing should begin at the beginning of the display time as indicated by arrow 36 in FIG. 2. This state is stored in a first flip-flop 66 and the output of flip-flop 66 becomes signal 61. This state of signal 61 is held until time to display the next pixel. Select signal 61 is used to enable a multiplexer 54 to select the contents of register 52 to be used as the next pixel word to be input into register 51 so that during the next pixel time the current contents of register 52 will become the contents of register 51, thus, the contents of next pixel register 52 eventually becomes the contents of current pixel register 51 during the next pixel time. If register 51 has data to be displayed and register 52 does not have data to be displayed, signals 62 and 63 will have opposite states so that select signal 61 will enable multiplexer 54 to select an output of a subtractor 56 to become the next pixel word to be used as an input for register 51. Subtractor 54 subtracts the value of the next pixel word contained in register 52 from the width of the display time so that the value of the next pixel to be displayed becomes the display time minus the contents of register 52. That value causes signal 59 to be enabled during the last portion of the display time is indicated by arrow 34 in FIG. 2.
Circuit 50 is an embodiment of a control circuit for controlling current source 24 (FIG. 1) according to diagram 32 of FIG. 2. It is to be realized that the control signals can be generated using many various control circuit embodiments and approaches and the invention is not limited by the specific embodiment illustrated.
By now it should be appreciated that there has been provided a novel method of controlling a display. By using the state of current and subsequent display data to position the timing within a display time allows maintaining a signal in an enabled state from one display time into a subsequent display time. This control method reduces the number of transitions on the column signal thereby reducing the operating frequency of the column which reduces the capacitive power dissipation of the display.

It was the worst holiday season of her life.
Kathy Jewett had been extremely fatigued for several months. She had trouble just waking up, much less going to her job at the Internal Revenue Service.
Her primary care physician noted her lymphocyte concentration was high, possibly signaling a viral infection or, in some rare cases, leukemia. When the doctor asked her to come back to the office after a CAT scan, Jewett was more than a little worried--she had found several new lumps on both sides of her neck and even though she didn't know it yet, her spleen was enlarged.
Right away, she was referred to hematologist-oncologist Samer Renno, M.D., at Alegent Creighton Health Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. "They took 13 tubes of blood," she remembered. "And they told me they'd let me know what they found before Christmas."
The Friday before Christmas she found out she had some type of lymphoma. Three days after Christmas her doctor told her she had non-Hodgkin mantle cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. It's the seventh most common cancer in females in the United States and it had spread to her bone marrow. "It was pretty much throughout my system," she said. Her sister had died from breast cancer so Jewett didn't want to waste any time. "I asked, 'Okay, what are we going to do now? What are we going to do next? What do we have to do to get on top of this?'"
Jewett learned she was going to have stem cell transplants, similar to "Good Morning, America's" co-host Robin Roberts. "They wanted to wipe out my immune system and start over and let it regenerate." Jewett had an autologous stem cell transplant,* where stem cells were collected from her own bone marrow. Then she was admitted to Alegent Creighton Health Immanuel Medical Center to start high-dose chemotherapy. Healthy stem cells were transplanted back into her bloodstream a week later, in a process similar to a blood transfusion. "Most of the time I was okay," she said. "It was good knowing we were building back up."
Immanuel recently received internationally-recognized accreditation by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) for its autologous stem cell transplant program. The accreditation means Immanuel met the most rigorous standards in every aspect of stem cell therapy. FACT conducted an on-site evaluation in January 2012."FACT accreditation validates that we strive to provide exceptional care for our patients with blood cancers," said Joseph Verdirame, M.D., medical director of the stem cell transplant program at Immanuel Medical Center."Our multidisciplinary stem cell transplant team provides high-quality, state-of-the-art treatment while focusing on individualized care plans designed to treat the whole person."
Jewett said individualized care was critical to her outcome: "Weekly doctors' conferences where my case was discussed made me more comfortable. They knew what they were doing. It was all very individualized."
She also praised the cancer team's sensitivity. "They're very supportive of who you are and what your needs are," she said."They let me take control of what I felt I could handle. They told me enough to get me through but I didn't want too much information. If I'd looked at the whole thing at once, I don't know how I would have done this."
She was discharged after 12 days in the hospital and continued to see her physician frequently. In May of 2013 she retired from the IRS and spends a lot of time reading and babysitting for family. She just returned from a trip to Utah and is headed to Texas and New Hampshire soon.
She'll continue maintenance treatments through October 2014 but doesn't mind. "Today I'm still doing okay. I'm still positive. I feel great. I'm cancer-free!"
*Autologous stem cell transplants are used to treat certain types of cancer including but not limited to multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite risks of infection and the challenge of the high-dose chemo, outcomes for stem cell transplants have improved dramatically and they often can cure a patient's disease .Many health insurance plans and managed care organizations use FACT accreditation as a factor for designating "Centers of Excellence."

The next time someone tries to justify not voting because "it's not like an election ever ended in a tie," you can now point to this year's race for selectman in Becket (pop.: 1,755), which actually did just end in a tie. Incumbent William Cavanaugh and challenger Robert Ronzio each earned 169 votes in Saturday's election, and the town clerk is now seeking guidance from the state about what to do next.

St. Peters alderman Don Aytes remembers well the fears some of his constituents expressed back in 1998, the year MetroLink supporters tried to bring light rail into suburban St. Charles County.
"I thought for sure it would pass, and then someone on the MetroLink campaign made the decision to advertise that the train would connect Mid Rivers Mall with East St. Louis," Aytes recalls. "That pretty much killed it right there. Soon you had people saying MetroLink riders would come to St. Charles by train and leave by car — stolen car."
Ten years later and a growing number of Saint Louis Galleria and Delmar Loop merchants worry that St. Charles voters may have been right: that maybe MetroLink actually enables criminals, especially teenage lawbreakers.
Ask virtually any store manager at the Saint Louis Galleria about shoplifting, and you'll invariably get two responses: One, it's out of control; and two, it's gotten exceedingly worse since August 2006, when MetroLink opened a stop just 500 yards from the high-end shopping center.
In the first six months of this year, Richmond Heights police made 345 arrests at the mall. That's nearly double the number of arrests made in all of 2005, before MetroLink opened its Shrewsbury line.
More alarming are the numbers of juveniles (kids under the age of seventeen) arrested at the mall. This year police are on pace to take 276 juveniles into custody for shoplifting and other offenses — a sevenfold increase over the 39 kids arrested at the Galleria in 2005.
"I know it's not politically correct, but how else do you explain it?" comments a frustrated Galleria store manager who, like many Galleria shopkeepers interviewed by Riverfront Times, says her employer prohibits her from officially speaking for the company.
"Anyone can see all these people crossing Brentwood Boulevard from the MetroLink station," the manager continues. "Most of them aren't here to shop. They're here to hang out and cause trouble."
Mall workers say it's not just shoplifting that's causing problems. In November 2006 police arrested five juveniles and four older teenagers following a fistfight at the Galleria that involved dozens of minors.
Four months later in March, another fight in the mall — this one involving up to 100 teens — led to three more arrests and the Galleria imposing new sanctions on teenagers. The so-called "Parental Guidance Required" policy, put in place in April 2007, prohibits anyone under age seventeen from entering the mall after 3 p.m. on weekends without an adult chaperone.
"It's not as bad as it used to be on the weekends," states another store manager. "But come here any weekday while school is in session — it looks like there's an entire high school class here for a field trip. Instead of going to school, they come to the Galleria."
Now — eighteen months after the Galleria curfew first went into effect — many store owners in University City speculate the ban has resulted in pushing troublemakers six stops up the MetroLink line to the Delmar Loop. Police in University City confirm that they first noticed large groups of teens congregating in the Loop in June 2007, two months after the Galleria imposed its curfew.
In recent weeks dozens of those same teens have been implicated in violent attacks that have hospitalized people working and living near the light rail stations in the Loop and the nearby DeBaliviere neighborhood. On July 26 a group of at least twenty teens assailed a family as they left the platform at the Forest Park-DeBaliviere station. That same night another group, according to police, attacked a person at the Delmar station.
MetroLink officials contend that the same group of teens was involved in both attacks. Moreover, the transit agency vigorously denies that the commuter train has anything to do with the assaults in the Loop or the spike in shoplifting and juvenile misconduct at the Galleria.
"What we do for the Galleria is take them their employees and shoppers," stresses Metro spokeswoman Dianne Williams. "With the Loop incidents, we and our passengers were the victims. These kids aren't traveling there by Metro. They're coming by car or walking. They're not coming by Metro."
Police testimony, however, tells a different story. The two seventeen-year-olds implicated in the group assault of the family were apprehended on the MetroLink platform. The teens told police they were on their way to their homes in Jennings and St. Louis City after spending the night hanging out near Loop restaurants and bars.
Several teenagers who gather at the Galleria and in University City connect MetroLink with the rowdy behavior. "We used to hang out in the Galleria, but when MetroLink opened it got too crazy there," notes Johnnie Fields, a senior at Gateway High School who met with friends on the sidewalk of Delmar Boulevard on a recent weekend.
"We started coming to the Loop last summer," says Corey Stewart Glaze, an eighteen-year-old student at CBC High School. "Then more and more people started coming. Now, it's a lot of the same people from the Galleria who hang out in the Loop. It's like you have two groups. There are people like us, and then there are the dropouts. I don't know where, or if, they go school. But they're ruining it for all of us."

Look up at the sticky thread by mauifrog. Things to never do to the wii.
If you are asking for an opinion maybe you should try the create a poll option.
In the next few days I will have a wii to experiment with. I want to dissect it and learn all I can about the hardware and the operating system. I want to brick it and then recover it using guides found here on the wonderful site. I know the precautions I need to take to recover from 99% of bricks it's just that 1% that I'm worried about. What are some ways that I can brick it that I know for 100% can be recovered?
Am I weird for wanting to brick?
Look up at the sticky thread by mauifrog. Things to never do to the wii.
If you are asking for an opinion maybe you should try the create a poll option.
I could of sent you my IOS60 uninstalled-bricked wii if you had said this yesterday. wow. it's unrecoverable if you uninstalled anything under IOS<200. I was screwed already when I did this by accident yesterday noon (or being half asleep installing and uninstalling wads.)
You experiment like that, make sure you can get BootMii installed as boot2 first and make a backup of the NAND. No boot2, your experiment will end prematurely with a non-recoverable brick.
Edit: Hey Odd... my first impression was Teal'C edited this particular thread's name.... surprise, surprise
Thas what I meant by saying I know the precautions to take.
Thanks oddgriffin I will compile some things together and do just that.

There's not much bootmii/boot2 can't allow you to recover with the right tools. There are quite a few apps out now that can be booted with cboot2 and used with a GC controller, certainly a lot more than there used to be.
With no boot2 installation though you'd be limited to basic theme mods, bad wads and region bricks. Basically anything that modifies System IOS/Menu in a large way would be unrecoverable.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
(some new info, but first I'll just say clearly what has been said above)
You'll need bootmii as boot2, so you need an older wii. Then you'll need NAND backup from your wii, made with that bootmii. You can recover from quite much anything, as long as boot2 (or boot1, but that's almost impossible to do anyway) is not touched. If you install for example boot2v4, your bootmii will be removed and you will end in brick with no way to unbrick.
I've bricked my wii intentionally about ten times (first time I taped it on video). Only thing that i'd like to mention is that I've found out that if you remove your wii system menu, bluetooth stops working and you can't use wiimote. GC controller works, though.

The disclosure enables concurrent access to a cache by main storage and a processor by means of a cache control which provides two cache access timing cycles during each processor storage request cycle. The cache is accessible to the processor during one of the cache timing cycles and is accessible to main storage during the other cache timing cycle. No alternately accessible modules, buffering, delay, or interruption is provided for main storage line transfers to the cache.
1. Means for controlling the overlapping of accessing of a cache during requests to the cache by a processor and by a storage entity transferring a line of data to the cache, each line being divided into a plurality of data groups, the cache having a single addressing means which sequentially receives addresses for all requests to the cache, comprising:
means for timing request addresses to the cache during sub-cycles including: a first cache timing sub-cycle for timing each processor access request address to the addressing means, and a second cache timing sub-cycle for timing the address of each data group in a line being transferred to the cache,
directory means operating within a sub-cycle for signalling whether a line of data for the processor request exists in the cache, the directory means indicating when the line does or does not exist in the cache,
comparing means for receiving the line address for a line being fetched from the storage entity, the comparing means comparing the line address with each concurrent processor request address,
first means for gating each requesting data group address to the cache during a second cache timing sub-cycle, and second means for gating each processor request address to the cache during a first cache timing sub-cycle when the directory indicates the processor request is in the cache and the comparing means indicates the processor request is for a different line in the cache than the line being fetched,
whereby the transfer of a line from the storage entity to the cache proceeds without interruption while any concurrent processor request is accessing the cache.
2. Cache access control means as defined in claim 1 further comprising:
means for inhibiting the processor access request until completion of the line transfer when the comparing means indicates the processor access request is to the line being transferred,
whereby the line transfer to the cache is allowed to continue without interruption or delay.
3. Cache access control means as defined in claim 2 further comprising:
a first AND gate conditioned by the first cache timing sub-cycle and by the inhibiting means to pass each processor access request to the cache as long as the inhibiting means is not activated, and
a second AND gate conditioned in response to the second cache timing cycle to pass each fetch group in each line being transferred from the storage entity to the cache.
4. Cache access control means as defined in claim 2 further comprising:
control circuits for the storage entity for timing the outputting from the storage entity of each fetch group with the second cache timing sub-cycle.
5. Cache access control means as defined in claim 1 further comprising:
clock means in the processor for generating the first cache timing sub-cycle and the second cache timing sub-cycle with different phases relative to a processor machine sub-cycle.
6. A method of overlapping the accessing of a cache by a processor and by a storage entity transferring a line of data between the storage entity and the cache, the line including a plurality of data groups of bits in which each group is handled as a unit of data transfer, a cache address bus connecting the cache to the processor and to the storage entity to receive processor and storage access addresses, comprising the steps of:
requesting a processor access to the cache during a processor machine cycle,
providing at least two cache access timing sub-cycles during each processor machine cycle, a first cache timing sub-cycle timing the addressing of the cache by each processor request, a second cache timing sub-cycle timing the addressing of the cache by each data group in the line transfer,
determining during the line transfer if a line of data exists in the cache for the processor request, and
allowing on said buses on different sub-cycles, the tranfer of an address for a processor request if the determining step finds the line of data in the cache for the processor request, and the transfer of the address for a current data group in a line transfer,
whereby a processor access to the cache is allowed during a line transfer to the cache.
7. A method as defined in claim 6 further comprising:
inhibiting the processor access request only if the determining step signals that the complete line of data for the processor request is not in the cache.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to improvements in cache control in a data processing system which enables the processor and main storage to concurrently access the cache at their highest data transfer rates without conflict.
2. Description Of The Prior Art
In the prior art, U.S. Pat. No. 3,705,388 interrupts main storage while it is transferring a line of data to a cache to permit a processor to access a different line of data in the cache. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,670,307 and 3,670,309 enable concurrent processor and line fetch accesses by accessing different BSM's in the cache; that is, the processor can access the busses of one BSM of a cache concurrently with a line fetch from main storage accessing the different busses of another BSM of the cache, which must be constructed with plural BSM's. U.S. Pat. No. 3,588,829 delays a processor request to the cache from the first word of a line transfer until after the last word of the line fetch is completed from main storage to the cache. U.S. Pat. No. 3,806,888 provides fast readout means in the main memory so that on each line of data can be transferred through a buffer to a cache in the time normally required to transfer a word from main memory. None of these prior patents reveal the concept involved in the subject invention which enables a cache to concurrently be accessed by main storage and a processor at their maximum rates without interferring with each other and without added buffers, and without interrupting either the main storage or processor operations.
An object of the subject invention is to allow a processor to fetch from a cache while a line of data is being fetched from main storage to the cache due to a processor fetch request.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cache with a maximum access rate which is at least twice the maximum processor request rate, so that processor and main storage accesses to different lines of data in a cache can be made without conflict, delay, additional buffering, or interruption of either the processor access or main storage access operations.
The subject invention eliminates cache interference between processor (i.e. CPU) and main storage accesses of a cache without requiring any buffering or delay for the accesses while main storage is fetching a line (i.e. block) of data to the cache unless the processor is requesting to access the line being fetched. Many processor requests will be to a different line in the cache than the line being transferred from main storage. The invention enables the simultaneous access to the cache by main storage and the processor by providing a cache control that performs two fast cycles during each processor cycle, in which the cache is accessible to the processor during one of the fast cycles and is accessible to the main storage during the other fast cycle.
In the event of a processor request to a line being transferred from main storage, that processor request is held up until the line becomes available in the cache, unless the request bypasses the cache to the processor; the address of the transfer in progress from main storage (stored in a register) is compared with the address of the processor request to determine that they are different. If the addresses are the same, the line transfer is completed from main storage to the cache before that processor access is allowed.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention may be more fully understood and appreciated by considering the following detailed description in association with the accompanying drawings.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate a block schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows details within the main storage (MS) control circuits block found in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a timing diagram illustrating the overlapped timing relationship between processor requests and double words (DWs) in a line being fetched.
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate a preferred mode of practicing the invention. Processor instruction and execution (I/E) functions are represented by box 10. They include a clock 10A which times the processor machine cycles, and a fetch request register 10B which issues fetch requests to storage on a line 10C that transfers the storage address of a request to a fetch address register (FAR) 11 and a cache directory 14. Cache directory 14 is examined to determine if the data requested (corresponding to the request address) is in an associated cache 31. If the data is not represented in cache directory 14 (i.e. a cache miss), a main storage (MS) select signal is generated from AND circuit 21 and provides to MS control 37 to initiate a line fetch from main storage. The line fetch is accessed from main storage as a fixed number of plural parallel groups, each group corresponding to the width of the MS bus 36A. In more detail, address used to fetch data from main storage is placed in FAR 11 to address the requested group of N data groups in the line to be fetched. A counter 13 keeps track of the data groups in the line as they are returned from MS. Counter 13 counts to N. (For example: if each line fetch has four double words and MS bus is 1 double word wide for accessing a double word group, then N=4. Thus, counter 13 is incremented by one each time a doubled word is loaded into a cache from MS.) The counter generates a line fetch complete signal after it has stepped N times, and provides a line fetch in progress signal until it reaches the count of N. Counter 13 is set to zero by a storage request clock cycle on line 10F at the beginning of each line fetch.
The processor requested access is the first data group returned from main storage in the line fetch. This data group is also placed in the cache via AND gate 26, and the directory 14 is updated by conventional means to show a mapping of all valid data in the cache. The remaining data groups in the line fetch are then loaded into the cache as they are returned from main storage. The line fetch may provide a larger amount of data than the processor requested, although the first group contains the requested data.
The cache 31 can be accessed at two times the processor cycle rate. The cache cycle is organized in relation to the processor machine cycle, with the first half cycle (i.e. clock 1/2 cycle A) used by the cache to time processor requests, and the second half cycle (i.e. clock 1/2 cycle B) used by the cache to time write data transfers received in a line fetch from MS.
Whenever the processor requests data on line 10C, the cache directory 14 is checked to determine if the data exists in the cache. Simultaneously, a comparison in comparator 12 is made between the new processor request address on line 10C and the address in FAR 11 that holds the last MS request address. If a cache hit occurs and (1) no line fetch is in progress (indicated by no signal on line 13A, or (2) the current fetch request address and the last fetch request address are not equal (indicated by no signal on line 12A), the processor request is immediately granted so that the cache data is provided immediately from the cache to the processor; and any existing main storage block fetch to the cache continues without interruption. In more detail, this is done by AND gate 16 providing a nonactive output for condition (1) and/or (2) to an inverter 17 which then conditions an AND circuit 18. The cache hit signal on line 14A then enables AND circuit 18 which provides an output to condition AND circuit 22 to pass the processor fetch request address received on line 10C during a clock 1/2 cycle A received on line 10E from the processor clock 10A. The request address passes through OR circuit 24 to address the data in the cache, which provides the data to cache data out register 32, from which it is passed through OR circuit 33 and line 33A to the processor I/E functions 10.
On the other hand, if comparator 12 provides an equal output on line 12A while counter 13 indicates the line fetch is still being transferred to the cache, AND gate 16 is activated, which disables AND gate 18, and it disables AND gate 22. Then the cache read request on line 10C is blocked, and this request cannot be received by the cache until the main storage transfer to the cache has completed.
If there is no cache hit resulting from a fetch request on line 10C, a cache miss signal is provided on line 19A from cache directory 14 which conditions AND gate 21. If no line fetch is in progress which is indicated by a signal on the line fetch complete line 13B at the time of a storage request clock cycle on line 10F is provided, an MS select signal on line 21A enables AND gate 25 to pass the request address in FAR 11 to MS control circuits 37 along with the MS select signal on the MS select bus 30A that includes both lines 21A and 25A.
The data groups of the line fetch are then accessed in main storage 36 by circuits 37 and are outputted on line 36A with gating by the signals on clock 1/2 cycle B line 10D. Each outputted data group is signalled by a control signal on the 1/2 cycle B data advance line 37A, which increments counter 13 and gates the data from line 36A through AND gate 26 to the write data input 26A of cache 31 to enter each data group into the cache.
FIG. 2 illustrates priority selection and timing circuits in MS control circuits 37 in more detail. A MS priority stack 41 receives the MS select busses 30A through 13A from this processor and from each other processor which can access this MS, and receives MS select busses 230A through 330A from all channels which access this MS. A priority circuit in stack 41 selects a request on one of the MS select inputs when one or more inputs is active with requests, and outputs the selected request on line 41A along with the identifier (ID) of the processor associated with the selected request.
A MS clock ring 42 receives the signals on lines 41A and 41B and is incremented by pulses on clock 1/2 cycle B line 10D to time out the accessing of the signal groups for the requested line in main storage 36. A data advance output from ring 42 enables an AND gate 43 to pass a pulse from clock 1/2 cycle B line 10D as the data advance signal on line 37A for each signal group in the accessed line provided to the cache.
While the invention has been particularly described with reference to a preferred embodiment and particular aspects thereof, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as indicated in the following claims.

Allison in Concert
March 9 & 10, 2012 at the Drama Studio
Allison Reardon, soloist
Steve Hays, piano
Reviewed by Donna Bailey-Thompson
Selecting classic show tunes from "the great American songbook", a poised and merry Minnechaug Regional High School senior, Allison Reardon, made her singing debut at the Drama Studio, her home-away-from-home for nine years, thriving as a student of theater and music.
When the lights dimmed, accompanist Steve Hayes took his place at the piano and played a selection of medleys. All seats in the tiered three-quarter round theater were filled. A mixed bouquet of spring flowers at the piano were the only touches of multiple color – until a smiling Ms. Reardon walked from the wings onto the stage, wearing an electric blue two-piece dress that provided a backdrop for her stunning crowning glory – an abundant waterfall of golden curls falling every which way.
She opened the concert with the Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer statement, "I'm going to love you, like nobody's loved you, come rain or come shine," singing softly, explicitly, imparting intimacy and a declaration of incontestable love. Gradually, she increased the volume, releasing more passion, underscoring her commitment, giving her pitch-perfect voice license to sing – really sing.
To borrow a compliment from the vintage age represented throughout the concert, Ms. Reardon is a bonafide canary.
As the upbeat dame in "The Lady is a Tramp," Ms. Reardon took no prisoners. With Adelaide's Lament from Guys and Dolls – the perennial head cold – she demonstrated her flare for comedic timing: she was nothing short of terrific. For "How About Me" she had no trouble making the emotional shift of a jilted girlfriend who without a support group, has to rely on her hurting self to work her way through the pain of loss, a poignant song by Irving Berlin written with simple, direct language, and respectfully sung.
With The Trolley Song, made famous by Judy Garland in Meet Me In St. Louis, Ms. Reardon stepped onto that trolley fully confident. Her sense of fun could not be smothered: she freed her knees to bounce as if actually riding on a trolley.
For the songsmiths, Caesar Petrillo and Edward Ross, she transformed their dumb song into a riotous "Jim", milking every opportunity to squeeze out a laugh, proving that the timing she displayed earlier as Adelaide was for real. This feat reminded me of a theater director's amazement of how well comedienne Carol Burnett could sing.
The gifted songwriting trio of Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote a novelty song for Two On The Aisle entitled "If You Hadn't (But You Did)" which did not daunt Ms. Reardon who ripped through it at warp speed. If sung barely a tad slower, chances are all the lyrics could be understood.
"The Party's Over" and "I'm Going Back To Where I Can Be Me" brought the audience to their feet. Allison Reardon is an accomplished singer who rings emotional connection out of different types of songs by tempering her ego. She is blessed with a solid foundation that reflects the instruction and guidance of her teacher, Steve Hayes, founder of The Drama Studio.
There was one curtain call. Daughter Allison announced, "Dad, this is for you," and with her eyes dancing, she sang the song every father wants to have spring from his gorgeous daughter's lips – Not!

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me
In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Utah forecast: Wanna build a snowman? Try the mountains
It's a "Frozen" kind of late-week forecast for northern Utah, but if you and Princess Anna "wanna build a snowman," it will have to be in the mountains.
That's because while the Wasatch Mountains north of Interstate 80 were under a Winter Storm Warning through noon Friday, and the range's peaks and slopes south of I-80 were included in a Winter Weather Advisory into late Thursday afternoon, snowfall generally was expected to remain above 6,000 feet elevation.
In the urban valleys of northern Utah, precipitation will primarily come in the form of rain.
Higher up, though, Anna would find conditions more like Disney's fictional, icy Kingdom of Arendelle: the mountains were expected to add another 1-2 feet of new, wind-whipped snow. Gusts of up to 70 mph could make travel a wintry nightmare in the passes.
Along with the Wasatch Front, the western Uintas also were to feel the frigid fist of winter storms through the end of this week.
One more thing: you and Anna would be well-advised to stay within ski resort boundaries if you decide to go and play, build snow persons, and such. The Utah Avalanche Center had "high" risk ratings for the mountain backcountry of the Logan, Uinta, Provo and Skyline districts, and "considerable" avalanche risk grades for the mountains above Salt Lake City, Ogden and Moab.
Down in the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys, however, snowflakes won't stand much of a chance. High temperatures in the 40s and periodic rain showers will take care of that on Thursday, mirroring Wednesday's forecast.
Southern Utahns? They can laugh at it all, getting by with light jackets at night and stripping down to shirt sleeves and even shorts as temperatures rise into the upper-60s during the days and dip no lower than around 40 degrees overnight.
The Utah Division of Air Quality gave "green," or healthy breathing grades to the entire state for the mid-week period.

With Samantha headed off to University and Jake going to the Nascar truck race with his family, Scott and Billy were the only two Spira ‐ Fleet Image Team members that headed north to Sauble Speedway for the final points event of the season. With the race scheduled for the afternoon instead of the usual night race, the team had to depart early in the morning after a late night at Flamboro Speedway and working on the cars to get them set‐up for Sauble. Scott changed his #44 Eastside Auto Mustang over to the Sauble setup at the track before heading home with the car and trailer so they could depart from there, and Billy got the #86 ready for the track, after returning to the shop.
Both cars had trouble setting up the cars throughout the practice sessions as it was extremely hot and with the rubber being put on the track by the very fast Can‐Am Midgets, the cars were not reacting to the usual set‐up that the team had worked with at the track. Billy started 4th in his first of two heat races and after getting by the #52, moved into second behind the #36. The two cars pulled ahead of the field and as they put on a good show for the fans and it did not look like Billy had what it took to get by the #36 despite being glued to his bumper. On the final lap, Billy dove the #86 deep into the corner on the inside of the #36 and started a side by side battle as they came down the backstretch for the final time. With Billy carrying the momentum, he gained the position through the final turn and took the checkered flag for the win. Scott was in the next heat race where he started on the pole and the #20 car followed him to the front, glued to his bumper throughout the race. Scott did not overdrive the car and drove flawlessly through the final laps to pick up the second win for the East Side Auto Repair Team . Billy started 3rd in his second heat, behind the Spira Fire Protection sponsored #17 of Kevin Bridge and they were soon side by side for the lead, closely followed by the #36. Billy made the pass to the front on the 4th lap and was followed by the #36, putting Kevin 3rd. The order remained the same through the 10 lap race and Billy picked up his second win of the night. Scotty started 4th in his second heat and as the #20 pulled to the front of the field in the early laps, Scott moved in behind him in 2nd. Despite Scott on the bumper of the #20 throughout the race, he was not able to set up for a pass and finished 2nd.
After minor adjustments, the #44 and #86 readied for the 25 lap feature with Billy set to start 6th and Scott 10th. Billy was quick to move up to third after the first lap as Scott also gained three positions into 7th. Billy moved by the #52 into 2nd on the 3rd lap, however he was well behind the #17, who had pulled well ahead of the field. As it looked like the #17 was going to run away with the show, Scott pushed the #44 beyond its limit while exiting turn four and spun on his own bringing out the caution on lap six. Although not planned, this is just what Billy needed to bring the leader within reach. With Scott at the back of the field, Billy moved by the #17 on the outside to take over the lead where he would run uncontested for his 10th feature win of the season and 4th at the track. Scotty was moving up through the field as
Billy ran out front and could have had a better finish, however he got stuck behind the 4th and 5th place cars that were battling for position ahead of him and despite trying to get his nose in the mix, the two cars left him little room. Scott made in three wide heading for the checkered flag on the final lap, however the front straightaway was not long enough to make the pass and he finished 6th within 10 feet of gaining two positions.
Next up for the Spira ‐ Conestoga Roofing Team is the race packed ‐ Memorial Night event at Flamboro Speedway on Saturday September 7th that will have the OSCAAR Super Late Models and OSCAAR Open Wheel Modified's as they make their only appearance of 2013. All four cars are scheduled to attended the event that will have the pit gates open at 2:00pm, grandstands at 3:00pm and racing begins at 4:00pm. Admission prices for the grandstands are: Adult $25.00, Senior & Student $20.00, Children (12 and under) $5.00, Family Ticket (2
Adults and up to 4 children) $60.00. HST included. Pit Admission is $35.00.

Can A Kiss Between Friends Be Forgiven?
readers's questionHey Doc Love,
I'm a college student and consider myself a "nice guy." I've been seeing a girl for about two months now. We started out as friends, but I actually wanted more (although I was afraid to tell her). Luckily, she made the first move and kissed me.
We both successfully got past saying "I love you" to each other for the first time, but soon after we got physically involved, things got awkward. Fortunately, there was a school break coming up, so we had time to think things over.
The night after we got back from vacation, she called me to say, "We need to talk." When she got to my dorm, she told me that she thought we were getting "too close" emotionally and physically, and that she was getting "scared."
Then she told me that during the break, her friend Nick had kissed her and that she had kissed him back.
This guy, Nick, used to date one of her roommates, and I never trusted him because of the way he treated his ex-girlfriend. At the time, I vocalized this strongly to my girlfriend, but she said I was being possessive so I immediately backed off. Now, I found out my misgivings were warranted.
kiss of deathHer news upset me very much and I let her know how much it hurt me. She tried to assure me with: "The whole time I was thinking about you," and "I'll never see him again," but at that point, I wasn't listening to a word she said because I was so enraged.
Later, while we were making out, she said, "You're so much better than Nick" and "He doesn't kiss like you at all." This was definitely not what I wanted to hear, so I gave her a look of death — which upset her, so she started to leave.
I stopped her and told her that it just bothered me when she talked about how another guy kisses. She said she understood, and that eventually we would work things out and that we should think about our relationship over the next few days.
Now comes my dilemma. Should I trust her? Is she having second thoughts about us because of Nick? I really love this girl and I want to be with her, but I'm so bothered by what she did. I'm just feeling really insecure right now and I'm unsure of what to do.
Please help.
Kevin - who wants to know if he's being too uptight
doc love's responseHi Kevin,
It's always a bad sign when a woman starts the conversation with "We need to talk" — for a single guy this sounds almost as bad as "I'm pregnant!"
Kevin, your girl's not having "second thoughts" about the relationship — she already made her decision. Your problem can be stated in four words: She kissed him back .

The Outsider
Weeks before shooting his second movie, Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky took the film's star, Jared Leto, to see The Matrix at a Brooklyn mall. It was the spring of 1999, and Aronofsky had already established himself as one of the most promising directors of his generation. His indie debut, π – a brainy thriller filmed for $60,000 – had been a sleeper hit at the Sundance Film Festival the year before, earning him an award for best director.

"I walked out of The Matrix with Jared and I was thinking, 'What kind of science fiction movie can people make now?'" Aronofsky says. "The Wachowskis basically took all the great sci-fi ideas of the 20th century and rolled them into a delicious pop culture sandwich that everyone on the planet devoured. Suddenly Philip K. Dick's ideas no longer seemed that fresh. Cyberpunk? Done."
Challenged and exhilarated, the director started taking walks around Manhattan with an old college buddy, Ari Handel, to toss around ideas for a new film they would eventually call The Fountain. After spending eight years at New York University mapping the brains of rhesus macaques, Handel had quit neuroscience to become a writer. Aronofsky and Handel's freewheeling conversations ranged over primate neurology, the physics of space travel, and the history of Mayan civilization. One of the director's first concepts for the script, Handel says, was a dramatic juxtaposition: "I remember Darren saying, 'How cool would it be to cut from a battle scene in some historical period to a man traveling alone in space for an unknown reason?'"
For Aronofsky, the seminal science fiction films of previous eras – like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars – had dared to reimagine space and time. "2001 was the first sci-fi movie to deal with real physics," he explains. "Kubrick introduced his audience to a zero-g world with no up and down or left and right. Then Lucas came along with Star Wars and kicked it all into hyperdrive." He felt that in the past three decades, the visual innovations introduced by these directors had degenerated into a set of stale conventions, particularly an overreliance on digital imagery. After seeing The Matrix, Aronofsky became determined to be the next director to push the genre into new territory. "No matter how good CGI looks at first, it dates quickly," he says. "But 2001 really holds up. So I set the ridiculous goal of making a film that would reinvent space without using CGI."
Seven years later, Aronofsky has done just that. Opening in the US on November 22, The Fountain has already proven to be his most controversial and divisive film. Some early reviews have been scathing, and its first press screening at the Venice Film Festival was greeted by a chorus of boos. The following night, though, festivalgoers gave the movie a 10-minute standing ovation.
Expectations for Aronofsky's third feature run particularly high because his first two were so full of promise. In 1998, π rebooted film noir with an edgy mix of home-brew computing, day-trading, and kabbalah. Then Requiem for a Dream – based on Hubert Selby Jr.'s harrowing portrait of addiction – won praise in 2000 for its radical cinematography, taut script, and Oscar-nominated performance by Ellen Burstyn.
Like Pulp Fiction and The Matrix, both movies announced the arrival of a new kind of filmmaker influenced as much by TV, the Internet, break beats, and manga as by the canon of the silver screen. Aronofsky's hip hop montages – obsessive loops of iconic images and sounds – were imitated in dozens of music videos. The young director even got a bitchy smackdown from fellow auteur Gus Van Sant, who accused him of having "MTV eyes."
But The Fountain is a major departure from Aronofsky's previous work. Gone are the twitchy visuals and funky Brooklyn storefronts – "I burned out on my own schtick," he says. Here the director's canvas is stretched from the top of a Mayan pyramid to a modern neuroscience lab to the incandescent core of a nebula in deep space. And while π and Requiem were intimate art house fare, The Fountain – equal parts sci-fi, swashbuckling adventure, and medical thriller – tries to be three blockbusters in one.
Former X-Man Hugh Jackman and acclaimed British actress Rachel Weisz play time-tripping lovers whose devotion spans a millennium. In the 1500s, a conquistador named Tomas, played by Jackman, is dispatched to the Yucatan jungle by Queen Isabel (Weisz) on a desperate mission to find the tree of eternal life prophesied in Mayan myth. Cut. In the present day, Weisz is a writer named Izzi suffering from advanced brain cancer, and Tom is her neuroscientist husband obsessed with finding a cure. Cut. Five centuries later, Tom pilots a bubblelike biosphere toward a star that is about to explode. Tattooed and gaunt, he's haunted by memories of Izzi's deathbed request to help her finish writing a book called The Fountain.
"Darren has grown up," says Weisz, who is also Aronofsky's fiancée. "This is a more mature film than π and Requiem. It asks the most adult question of all: How do we relate to our own mortality? But it's still messing with you on so many levels."
Like Burstyn's skittering hallucinations in Requiem, The Fountain's most haunting images linger in the mind long after the credits roll. When Tomas reaches toward the tree of life, golden filaments bristle and rise to meet his fingers. At the film's climax, Tom and his bubble are blown through galactic clouds and pillars of dark matter that look like nothing else in science fiction. By bucking the conventions of CGI and using an ingenious application of microphotography to simulate space, Aronofsky has given the scenes in the nebula a handwrought quality that evokes the luminous etchings of William Blake.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the movie, though, is that the director was able to finish it at all. Just before the scheduled start of shooting in 2002, the film's original star, Brad Pitt, abruptly bailed. Costar Cate Blanchett left shortly thereafter. At various points in the production, Aronofsky's backers pulled out, studio executives questioned his sanity, and the script went through a radical reincarnation. The Fountain – an allegory about the promise of eternal life – died several ugly deaths on its way to the screen.

This week's New England Journal of Medicine has the report of a study of weight loss intervention done with obese people with serious mental illness.(1) Using diet and activity, "lifestyle interventions," they showed that people in this high risk group can achieve the same mediocre results that can be achieved by the rest of us.
Persons with serious mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, have an extremely high prevalence of obesity, nearly twice that of the overall population. There are several possible reasons for this, one of which is the drugs used to treat mental illness often cause weight gain and Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, people with mental illness are often excluded from studies of weight loss interventions.
In this study, coordinated by departments at the Johns Hopkins University, 291 overweight and obese participants with an average weight of 226 pounds were recruited from 10 community psychiatric rehabilitation outpatient programs and randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. The intervention consisted of diet advice and a supervised exercise program. After 18 months the intervention group lost seven pounds more than the control group and 38 percent had achieved a weight loss of at least 5 percent of their start weight, compared to 23 percent of the control group. In other words 62 percent didn't manage at least 5 percent weight loss.
One interesting observation was that the intervention group continued to lose weight throughout the 18 month study period. Studies like this usually result in the most weight loss by six months and then a regain of some of the weight lost after that. These authors conjecture that, "One possible explanation is that persons with serious mental illness take longer than those without..to engage in an intervention and make requisite behavioral changes."
Finally they conclude that these results show that obese adults with serious mental illness can and should try to make these lifestyle changes to impact their high medical risks.

Stewart, I wanted to let you and potential consumers know how pleased I am with your services. I searched long and hard to find someone to create 2 web sites for me. After talking to several vendors, I was fortunate to find you. You re-vamped my "Signature Inspection" web site and created my new "Signature Radon Solutions" web site. In both instances, you were professional, timely and reasonably priced. I was truly impressed by the fact that, as we were building the sites, you were quick to make adjustments and you were very patient with our multiple "fine tuning" issues regarding how we wanted the sites to appear. My only qualm in regards to referring you is that I want to keep you a secret from my competitors. Thanks for all you help, Bob Hoaglin, Hoaglin Signature Home Inspection & Signature Radon Solutions
Stewart was amazing! I would recommend him to anyone!
by User74744 on
I have owned a business for 5 years and have worked with 3 different people on 3 websites. This is my last website that I will have, because it is by far the best one! The website that made for us is awesome. At first I was a little worried because we did not work with him in person. It was all though phone and mostly emails. We paid him via PayPal for his work. I was not disappointed with in anyway! Working with was very easy. He was very patient with us. I sent him around 20 emails one day, and he answered everyone in a timely manner and did what I asked. He helped recommended some good ideas and most of all I feel he was very affordable which in a small business that is what I was looking for. I would recommend Nird Bird to anyone. Small or big company. I feel that my website looks very professional! I am very happy with everything! Thanks so much for the good job done Nird Bird!
Owner response: Thanks Shane for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and your RV company. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
