A customizable dental appliance adapted to lie within the mouth of a person consisting of occlusal posterior pads optionally with a connective arch or a u-shaped style base with upstanding labial and/or buccal walls. The appliance is made of low-density polyethylene.
1. A customizable athletic force absorbing mouthguard having a u-shaped base with upstanding labial and lingual walls forming a channel for the teeth of a user comprised of low-density polyethylene, further comprising an antimicrobial additive in the low-density polyethylene.
2. A customizable dental appliance having an occlusal pad to be placed on the teeth within a mouth comprised of low-density polyethylene, further comprising an antimicrobial additive in the low-density polyethylene.
This invention relates to dental appliances and mouthguards, and more particularly to customizable dental appliances and mouthguards.
It is well known that athletes who are in contact sports wear mouthguards to protect their teeth from sharp blows as well as to protect the head and temporomandibular joint from concussion. Mouthguards are common in football, hockey, soccer, rugby, boxing, for example. Mouthguards may be considered a subgroup of dental appliances.
There is also a trend for athletes, such as body builders, weight lifters, baseball batters, golfers, football players, hockey players, and bowlers to wear dental appliances to prevent the clenching of their teeth during exertion which results in hundreds of pounds of compressed force exerted from the lower jaw onto the upper jaw. Teeth clenching also occurs in bruxing and child birthing. Clenching can result in headaches, muscle spasms, damage to teeth and injury to the temporomandibular joint as well as pain in the jaw. Thus, dental appliances have been created having posterior pads to be positioned between the upper and lower teeth to prevent clenching and damage to one's teeth and jaw structures.
It also is well known that there are dental appliances for a myriad of other uses. Splints, which look like mouthguards, are used for bleaching of teeth, while other appliances may be used to control breathing and snoring. Dentists also use appliances in administering to teeth during dentistry.
Dental appliances and mouthguards historically have been made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). These devices are subject to degradation due to the user clenching and chewing on the appliance or mouthguard. EVA also has a mild ester-like odor and cannot be made clear but rather translucent to white.
Upon decomposition, EVA will break down to hazardous vinyl acetate, acetic acid, carbon monoxide and hazardous hydrocarbon oxidation products.
There is a need for dental appliances to be made of clear material for aesthetics, have low or no odor and exhibit strong flexible, tensile and impact properties.
A customizable dental appliance adapted to lie within the mouth of a person consisting of occlusal posterior pads optionally with a connective arch or a u-shaped style base with upstanding labial and/or buccal walls. The appliance is made of low-density polyethylene.
A principle object and advantage of the present invention is the appliance is made of low-density polyethylene which exhibits no odor and strong flexible, tensile and impact properties while yet being soft.
Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the customizable appliance may be made clear for aesthetics.
Another object and advantage of the present invention is that the appliance is non-hazardous.
Other objects and advantages will become obvious with the reading of the following specification and appended claims with a review of the figures.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a traditional mouthguard suitably made of an elastomer and not designed for custom fit.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a custom fit mouthguard, dental appliance or splint which has been formed to the shape of the teeth and gums.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a dental appliance with occlusal posterior pads and a connective arch.
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of a dental appliance placed on the upper jaw.
The physical structure of dental appliances may be appreciated by reviewing FIGS. 1 through 4.
In FIG. 1, the standard non-custom mouthguard 10 generally includes a horseshoe or u-shaped base or occlusal pad 11 with a lingual wall 12 and a labial wall 13. In FIG. 2, the custom mouthguard or dental appliance 20 may have a base 21, a lingual wall 22, and a labial wall 23. Typically, the custom mouthguard 20 is placed in boiling water to soften and then fitted to the mouth for a sure-grip fit to the wearer.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show a typical dental appliance 30 other than a protective mouthguard 10 or 20. The appliance 30 typically includes occlusal posterior pads 31 appropriately connected by an arch 32 to assure that the appliance 30 is not swallowed by the wearer. The arch may also extend along the outside or inside of the anterior teeth.
The appliances, 10, 20 and 30 of the present invention are made of low-density polyethylene. A suitable material is EXACT� 4023 from Exxon Mobile Chemical Company of Houston, Tex. 77253-3272.
After molding into an appliance, the user simply places the appliance 10, 20 or 30 into hot water 100� to 150� for a few seconds. Thereafter, the appliance 10, 20 or 30 is removed and fitted to the user's mouth, teeth and gums just like an EVA appliance as is well known.
It is also well known that illness, infection, tooth decay and/or periodontal disease is caused by bacteria, fungus, yeast, and virus. These microbials can grow and multiply on dental appliances when the appliances are being stored between uses as well as when the appliance is actually being worn or used.
Antimicrobial substances which are non-toxic and free of heavy metal or resisting the growth of the microbials may include CHLORINATED PHENOL (e.g. 5-CHLORO-2-(2-4-DICHLOROPHENOXY)PHENOL), POLYHEXAMETHYLENE BIGUANIDE HYDROCHLORIDE (PHMB), DOXYCYCLINE, CHLORHEXIDINE, METRONIDAZOLE, THYMOL, EUCALYPOL and METHYL SALYCILATE. TRICLOSAN� from Siba Giegy of Switzerland is also available.
Incorporating an antimicrobial agent into the low-density polyethylene during the manufacture of the dental appliance 10, 20 or 30 is achieved by incorporating the agent into the synthetic polymeric master batch. The antimicrobial agent is suitably placed into the batch in a concentration as high as 10% which will permit a let-down ratio resulting in the final concentration of the antimicrobial agent and the dental appliance of about 0.005 to about 2% by weight.
By encapsulating the antimicrobial agent into the polymer batch mix, the agents survive molten temperatures approximately or above 350� F. and thus the antimicrobial agent loses none of its biocidal properties in the formation of the dental appliance 10, 20 or 30.
It is to be understood that the foregoing description and specific embodiments are merely illustrative of the best mode of the invention and the principles thereof. Various modifications and additions may be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention which is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

UHD's Men's Club Soccer Team will play Mizzou tonight at Texas Tech
UHD's unbeaten Men's Club Soccer Team will play 8th ranked University of Missouri in the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association Region IV Tournament at Texas Tech University in Lubbock at 7 p.m. today.
The most recent rankings of clubs in Region IV, published Oct. 14, put UHD's club team at No. 5 in the very competitive region behind Texas A&M (1), University of Kansas (2), University of Texas (3), and Washington University in St. Louis (4). Since then UHD won the in the Houston Club Sports Conference Title for the third straight year. This is UHD's third straight appearance in regional play.
If UHD wins the match, the team will play Texas Tech next at 8 a.m. Saturday (Oct. 30). Elimination rounds begin at 6 p.m. Saturday.
ESO launches new onboarding program to orient benefits eligible employees
Effective Nov. 1, a new comprehensive onboarding program in orientating new benefits-eligible staff employees to the University of Houston-Downtown will go into effect.
Onboarding is the long-term process of acclimating new employees to the university and providing the tools and knowledge necessary to become productive and successful employees throughout their tenure at UHD. Orientation is only part of the process.
In order to successfully onboard new employees, ESO has developed a set of support tools:
· UHD New Employee Guide. New hire's trusty companion for at least their first month of employment. It lists activities they should complete, important reminders, and other useful information.
· UHD Onboarding Portal. Online resource that contains vital information that may be viewed, downloaded, and printed.
· Manager's Onboarding Guide. Useful resource for managers to establish consistency with the onboarding process for all new hires since managers/supervisors play an integral role in the onboarding process. Provides instruction on how to prepare for the new hire along with tools to assist on quickly engaging the new hire into their position, department, and the university.
· New Employee Orientation. An informative and interactive orientation on "all things UHD", to include a review of policies and procedures, benefits, training, free lunch, etc. It will include a "cruise" around campus to various departments (Admissions, Aramark, Bookstore, Cashier's Office, Financial Aid, Library, Parking, Police, Registrar, Sports & Fitness, Staff Council, Student Activities, & TTLC) where they will have a brief orientation of the department's mission, services they offer, etc. and they will get their passport stamped!
· Surveys. Surveys will be e-mailed to the new hires and managers at regular intervals (30, 60 and 120 days) to measure and approve upon the new hire's and manager's onboarding success/progress.
The goals of onboarding are to engage the new employee in a seamless process and a comprehensive orientation program. We want to quickly and fully integrate the new hire into the University of Houston-Downtown, its operating structure and systems, its physical facilities, its culture-and everything in-between.
Managers will be contacted by a member of ESO when a new employee is hired for an overview of the new onboarding process. For additional information, please contact Bobbie Horack, ESO Coordinator, at 713-222-5318 or email@example.com.
UHD students can apply now for four Segal AmeriCorps Education internships through UHD's Office of Community Engagement. The nternships, part of the 2010-2011 Texas Campus Compact Students in Service program, connect college students to high school students at Jefferson Davis and John H. Reagan High Schools.
"This grant is a wonderful opportunity to deepen community partnerships and strengthen student development," said UHD's Director for Community Engagement Jean DeWitt.
Interns will mentor high school students and answer questions about college studies. It is part of the "Closing the Gaps" initiative. The 300-hour internships carry $1,132 stipends. For more information, or to apply, contact DeWitt at email@example.com.
UHD faculty with ideas for community-based service learning projects can apply to turn those ideas into reality, thanks to a $40,000 grant supported by State Rep. Sylvester Turner.
It's the second year for the outreach program and Community Engagement Director Jean DeWitt is excited about the possibilities that will connect UHD students to communities in Houston.
Last year's grant money supported an intern at Acres Home Development Corporation, UHD students teaching adults financial literacy and computer literacy through the Houston READ Commission, UHD students working to help high school students at Eisenhower and Booker T. Washington High Schools prepare for college and students who worked with a local center to provide enrichment activities during a summer camp.
"These programs in Rep. Turner's district let our students use skills they learn about in the classroom and they. We are very appreciative of Rep. Turner's support," DeWitt said.
UHD faculty can begin putting together proposals for this year's funding immediately, DeWitt said. Projects must use the grant money before Aug. 31. For more information, contact DeWitt at email@example.com.

UHD's online portal to eservices, UOnline, will become MyUHD on Nov. 22.
The access to UHD services will not change, only the name and look of the login. Changing the name will pave the way for UHD to better group and market online degrees and classes under a UHD Online umbrella later this academic year.
During the next few weeks, individuals across campus will be working to make the switch on web pages across the university.
Eleftherios Gkioulekas, assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Texas-Pan American, will discuss "The Effect of Asymmetric Ekman Damping on Energy and Enstrophy Injection in Two-Layer Quasi-Geostrophic Turbulence" at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29, in room A-628 in the Academic Building.
For more information onf Gkioulekas visit the website, http://www.math.utpa.edu/lf/. The presentation abstract follows:
"In the Nastrom-Gage spectrum of atmospheric turbulence we observe a k-3 energy spectrum that transitions into a k-5/3 spectrum with increasing wavenumber k. The transition occurs near a transition wavenumber kt located near the Rossby deformation wavenumber kR.
The Tung-Orlando theory interprets this spectrum as a double downscale cascade of potential enstrophy and energy, from large scales to small scales. We show that in a temperature forced two-layer quasi-geostrophic model, the rates with which potential enstrophy and energy are injected places the transition wavenumber kt near kR, as long as most potential enstrophy and energy cascade to small scales. We also show that, contrary to what occurs in two-dimensional turbulence, the effect of asymmetric Ekman damping is to intensify the energy flux in the subleading downscale energy cascade and it may increase or decrease the flux of the downscale potential enstrophy cascade depending on the distribution of energy between kinetic and potential energy for the forcing range wavenumbers.
Using a random gaussian forcing model we also show that suppressing the bottom layer forcing term decreases the ratio η / ε of injected potential enstrophy over injected energy thereby tending to decrease kt further. Based on these results we argue that the Tung-Orlando theory can account for the approximate coincidence between kt and kR."
Sports and Fitness is sponsoring a program, Maintain Don't Gain, to help participants avoid gaining weight during the holiday season starting with weigh-ins Monday on the third floor of the Student Life Center.
The average American gains 7 to 10 pounds during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. One way to avoid the gain is to be more accountable to yourself and the scale during these times. Sign up with Sports and Fitness for weekly weigh-ins and weekly email tips on avoiding holiday weight gain.
Five simple tips that can help you avoid a weight gain:
· Drink lots of water
· Increase your exercise a little bit each day
· Cut back where you can at non-holiday meals
· Eat what you like - but
only a few bites
· Don't eat after 7p.m.
Weigh-ins will continue through Jan. 7. Participants who do not gain weight during this time will receive a T-shirt and water bottle. Interested participants can register by visiting www.uhd.edu/sports&fitness. A flyer is available here.

And so, on the citizens band, Davie Metzger goes by Applejack. His buddy Jeff Jones is Rabbit. Truckers are commodity relocators; flatbeds are skateboards. Owner-operators are bed-buggers. And on it goes: CB commentators are shitstigators. Cars are four-wheelers. Empty trailers are kites, and truckers who don't load freight are derided as steering-wheel holders. Weigh stations are chicken houses, truck-stop whores are recreational reptiles, and traffic cones are tire toys.
And every passerby's a fishbowl.
"They forget that we can see everything up here," says Metzger, peering down from his Sterling cab at a woman astride her man's Harley.
Davie Metzger has driven 1.6 million miles without incident. His last fender-bender was in 1988, and the way he sees it, that wasn't his fault. Just outside the St. Louis city limit in an I-270 snowstorm, Metzger's eighteen-wheeler was crawling along some ice at about ten miles per hour when he slid into a median. No harm, no foul -- except for his driving record. Metzger appealed, but Con-Way's corporate jury held its ground. Had they seen things Applejack's way, his otherwise unblemished 33-year record as a commodity relocator would be at 3 million miles and counting.
About a year ago, Metzger was called into his supervisor's office at Con-Way -- the fourth-largest trucking company in North America, whose local headquarters are downtown, near the St. Louis City Workhouse on Hall Street -- to receive a simple dictate.
"We want trophies," said the boss, who informed Metzger that he was to prepare a team of Con-Way drivers for the state truck-driving championships in Joplin.
After many Sunday-afternoon practice sessions in a Baden parking lot, the Con-Way boys delivered at the beginning of June. They took home a half-dozen trophies, including the team title. And while there's no "I" in team, there's one in "Davie" -- Metzger walked away the tournament's grand champion with a ticket to the Tampa Convention Center, where this week he'll drive for the distinction of nation's best trucker.
"Some people golf," says Metzger, who lives with his second wife on some unincorporated rural acreage near Alton and counts vegetable farming as his lone hobby, aside from trucking. "I'm not going down there for the company. I'm going down there for me -- to see if I'm better than the rest of those guys.
"But if I win," he continues, "Con-Way will give me a full-size Ford extended cab and a rig with my name on the side. And nobody can drive it for a year but me."
To become the nation's road king, Metzger will have to notch a higher cumulative score than 49 other state grand champions on an obstacle course, written examination, personal interview and ten-minute pre-trip inspection. He's been studying like mad for the written exam, which is why he can tell you that trucks move a full two-thirds of the nation's cargo, and that one-third of all car-truck accidents are caused by a four-wheeler lingering in the big rig's blind spot.
But what the written test won't tell you is that the comfort level for Metzger's daytrip to Oak Grove, Kentucky (an hour shy of Nashville on Interstate 24), is about the same as riding a mechanical bull for 518 miles, or that a nagging governor on his speedometer prevents him from going any faster than 65, even in the passing lane. Or that the fried bologna sandwiches -- "the Arkansas state dinner," according to Applejack -- at Uncle Joe's Deli in Ina, Illinois, are one minor miracle away from culinary sainthood.
Or that $12,000-a-month driving schools won't teach you what Metzger can teach you about navigating the land's largest twin-trailer sled for free in one day's time. Or that Illinois has the worst roads and the best farmland. Or that the most accurate job-market barometer is the amount of colleagues Applejack spots along the way.
"I can always tell how the economy's doing by the by the amount of trucks out here," he says. "Right now, it's doin' good. It's movin'."
You'd think that 518 miles a day, five days a week, would dull Metzger's appreciation for the great wide open, but you'd be wrong. When he sees ice on the trees alongside southbound 57, he always wishes he'd brought a camera along. And when he swings through Clark Kent's hometown of Metropolis, Illinois -- just short of the Kentucky border (a.k.a. the Ohio River) -- it's not Superman painted on the town reservoir he notices, but that the cattle at mile-marker eight have been relocated to another pen on the farm.
"You see what they're spraying over there?" says Metzger. "That's pig shit."
Metzger is certain of this, because after his father's death and a stint in Panama with the Air Force, he tended to his mom's 720-acre pig-and-cattle farm in southern Missouri. Then he entered the trucking trade -- an occupation he's never seen fit to abandon. Where some drones lack fulfillment, Metzger's gig is as tangible as they come. If he don't get there, they don't get theirs.
"Without trucks, America stops," says Metzger, reciting a popular industry mantra. "It's just awesome the way we move freight."

TP was the #1 recruit in the nation coming out of HS, he was highly touted, and some thought he was gonna win the Heisman and win multiple Nat Championships, but honestly I dont think hes ever been comfortable in the offense, actually his numbers would be out of this world and he may have won the Heisman or Nation Champ if he'd went to Mich, yes Mich!!!!!! cause he hasn't done really anything that has compared to what everyone in this small town figured he'd be, lets face it he's predictable....if he's ever in a pressure situation on the field he'll line up in the spread and act like he's gonna pass but run..he just doesnt look comfortable and its been what? 3 years? If a team stuff's the run and blitzes outside in on third down....."its curtains batman" OVERATED

This stuff is among my top favorite products from ON. They really nailed the post workout drink with this product. You get the carbs, the protein, and some extra nutrients for good measure. I got a huge reduction in recovery time. And it tastes great. I recommend it to all my friends.
I have been taking 2:1:1 recovery for just over a month now and I have had solid results and great recovery. It does what its supposed to do, which is to help you recover after hard workouts. My only complaint is the price. The price is fine if you only use 1 scoop per shake, but I use 2 scoops so a tub only has 15 servings.
This product is shockingly good. I usually take this after hardcore conditioning for basketball and the next day im not sore. I always have those workouts where you think to yourself man am I going to be sore tomorrow but im not after taking 2:1:1. Not only does it work it tastes great. I looked forward to drinking it after my work outs because it tastes go good.

This is copied from the current 60 CT1 manual:
"2.2.1 Charging the battery
The 60-38 rechargeable battery must only be charged with the battery charger
(Table 2, Page 513). The operating voltage must be set on the battery
charger prior to the charging operation.
Note ! During charging the flash unit must be turned off !
Recharging an exhausted battery to 80% of its capacity takes approx. 7 hours.
During this time, the red monitoring light remains illuminated. As
soon as the battery has been recharged up to 80% of its capacity the red
monitoring light starts flashing. The green monitoring light (fig. 5)
remains illuminated during the whole recharging procedure. After a further
six hours the accumulator is then fully charged
The battery is exhausted when recycling after a full-power flash takes more
than 30 seconds. An exhausted battery must be immediately recharged."
For some reason, there doesn't seem to be anything similar in the current CT4 manual about how to charge the battery.

Below is the poem entitled Vulnerable which was written by poet
Lamoureux. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Richard Lamoureux
I poured out my heart
I wanted to share
You were not prepared
You just stood and stared
I felt so naked
A little bit lost
Being vulnerable
Would I pay the cost
You took a moment
Then I saw why
You were all choked up
You started to cry
You came and hugged me
Looked into my eyes
The love I wanted
Was then realized
By taking a chance
I let you see me
No more pretending
We both could be free
Many years passing
Drinking from loves well
True lover's magic
Is not just a spell
Vulnerable made strong
When hearts beat as one
Worth taking a chance
To bask in your Sun
Dedicated to my Sweetie who is my Sun, Moon and Stars.

The 2012 M5 (F10) will come in a fairly extensive choice of colors, including some beautiful individual exterior color options. One of the individual exterior color options is Brilliant White Metallic, which we've spotted hanging out at BMW M HQ in Garching, Germany.
Besides the individual brilliant white metallic exterior paint, the this M5 also has other individual options, such as the black painted mirrors and wheels. The red leather interior looks great set off against the white and black exterior color scheme.
As for not having blue … CONTINUED
We've compiled the following gallery of new renders, past spy photos, and samples from other BMW models to give you an idea of what the color palette will look like on the 2012 F10 M5. This will hopefully help our future F10 M5 owner members decide on the color for their new M5.
As we posted about recently, the F10 M5 exterior color palette will include:
The exterior colors are as follows:
Alpine White
Black Sapphire Metallic
Beautiful set of photos by member TOMiRRi or a black BMW 1M coupe and matte frozen silver E92 M3 coupe.
The online visualizer for the F10 M5 has been online since Thursday, and the German F10 M5 Catalog is now available for download. Together they reveals the range of exterior and interior color options, as well as visual previews of the colors. We list them (and provide some examples) inside.
The exterior colors are as follows:
Alpine White
Monte Carlo Blue
Black Sapphire Metallic
Singapore Gray
This is a continuation of our earlier post covering the current BMW Individual cars on display at the factory-owned BMW dealership in Munich, by Dackelone. Three M3 Individual models are currently on display. The first one below is a Mineral White E92 M3 Coupe with plenty of M Performance Parts, including tri-color M stripes (EUR 498), black ZCP wheels (EUR 4,350), carbon fiber front lip spoiler, carbon fiber rear spoiler and carbon fiber mirror caps. Equally impressive is the Frozen Silver E92 M3 Coupe … CONTINUED

You can see this dinosaur in the Museum.
Early carnivores
In the Late Triassic Period dinosaurs were not at the top of the food chain. Instead, early large reptiles called phytosaurs and rauisuchids domintated.
Early meat-eating dinosaurs like Coelophysis relied on their speed and agility to catch a variety of animals like insects and small reptiles. The sharp teeth and grasping claws of Coelophysis would have helped them to hold and kill their food.
A fossil find of an adult skeleton with what appeared to be young Coelophysis bones inside its rib cage led scientists to speculate that Coelophysis ate each other when the opportunity arose.
Recent analysis has disproved this, however, by showing that the bones inside the ribcage are not a baby Coelophysis after all, but belong to a small crocodile.
Hollow bones
Coelophysis means 'hollow form' and this comes from the hollow limb bones. This feature was shared by many other dinosaurs, and would have given Coelophysis a lightly-built body, helping it to be a swift, agile hunter.

Our firm also represents clients arrested and charged with DUI offenses in the Troy and Novi areas. A DUI conviction can be a life changing experience. A conviction may result in a loss of employment and difficulties in retaining certain professional licenses or pursuing certain careers that require a high level of trust. Immediately following an arrest for a DUI, contact a Bloomfield DUI lawyer before speaking with authorities. It is important to have an effective and strong defense against a first DUI allegation. The goal of our firm is decreased charges or a case dismissal. Attorney Daniel Hajji understands the problems that a
DUI conviction can cause for individuals and the adverse affect it can have on their futures.
It is always best to challenge a DUI charge, especially a first time offense. An individual with a clean record and first time DUI may receive minimal sentencing from a judge. Common penalties for a first time DUI conviction can include:
Each DUI is different with its own circumstances that can influence the sentencing by a judge. It is important to have representation from an experienced and skilled DUI defense attorney who navigates the court system while protecting the rights and interests of the clients. Many DUI arrests are faulty because of inaccurate and unreliable blood alcohol tests or mistakes by law enforcement during arrest procedures. Witness statements and police reports presented by a prosecution are open to challenge by a strong defense attorney.
A DUI defense lawyer can represent clients through all steps and procedures of a DUI case including representation at hearings with administrative, state and health care boards. Make an appointment today for a consultation with one of our competent First DUI defense lawyers.

Hip-hop culture emerged from an environment of extreme deprivation and decay in NYC's South Bronx. The concept of pure invention—creating something from nothing—was in full effect at the end of the 1970s as graffiti, breaking, and outdoor jams coalesced into new forms of artistic expression. Hip Hop Files showcases some of Martha Cooper's previously unreleased photography from the period, featuring several subjects from before they became icons—the Rock Steady Crew, Fab 5 Freddy, DURO and DONDI, Lady Pink, and Afrika Bambaataa.

SSIM appliances update
Hello, friends! I need information about ssim update and impact of this process on the servers replication.
I use 3 SSIM servers v4.7.2 (correlation, collection1 and collection2) and I have set up replication between them. If i'll try to update my servers to the 4.7.4 version, it will not cause a replication crash ???
And the second question: Do I need update the off-box agents after SSIM appliances update? Or SSIM update process did not require any actions with off-box agents and they will work fine?
thanks for your the help....
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I don't know to what "support specialist" you talk to. But for updating from 4.7 MP2 to MP4 you don't have to break the replication. Did this "support specialist" give you any reference where this is documented?
Where in the installation guide does it say that you have to break the replication?
From the Installation Guide (page 37):
In case of an upgrade to an Information Manager setup having LDAP Replication
enabled, you must upgrade the Master LDAP server first followed by the replica
Of course you should take backups of your machines before upgrading, like it is also mentioned in the Installation Guide.
No mentioning of breaking the replication. I have done several installation of MP4 without breaking the replication without any problems. BTW, I'm a Technical Support Engineer.
Feel free to point this "support specialist" to this post.

NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY — Kids rushing to catch buses, or a ride home with mom and dad – It's the 10th day of cancellations, delays or early dismissals here at Shamokin Area School District this year.
Superintendent James Zack says the district calendar has been changed, re-arranged and shuffled around several times, but he's still not worried about getting in 180 days.
"We started a little early, we took off some holidays so we`re in good shape now as long as it doesn`t snow anymore," said Shamokin Area School District Superintendent James Zack.
But it's not just Mother Nature and big snow storms putting kinks in the Shamokin Area School District's schedule. Back in August, construction at the elementary school delayed the start of school by two days.
Viriginia Kauffman is a stay at home mom and says these schedule changes don't bother her, but some parents have a tough time.
"Having to leave work early or make arrangements to have someone pick their children up, yea," said Kauffman.
Many parents lined up around noon to pick up their kids before inches and inches of forecasted snow arrived. Even some high school students stopped to pick up younger siblings.
"It`s hard because I have to watch my little brother till they get home, and we don`t always get along," said high school senior Samantha Schiccatano.
District Officials say shortened days cut down on the instruction time, and if mother nature doesn't stop, there's hardly any room for make up days this school year.
"The only thing left is to add onto the end of the calendar," said Zack.
That's something parents and students agree – they don't want to see.
"We never like the school year to be extended, I like having our kids home with us over the summer months," said mother Marla Kane.
But that's all in mother's nature's hands from here on out.

What Car? give the new 2012 BMW 3 series a full five stars, saying that it shows just how dominant the current 3 Series is that the only car the new model has to beat is its predecessor – and that it does. In short, if you're in the market for a compact executive, this is the one to go for. It's a "Perfect Replacement" for the E90 as they call it.
Autoexpress rates the new 3 a full five stars. In sum, they feel that the F30 improves upon the E90 in virtually every area. "The best just got better," as they said.
Autocar took a two day spin in BMW Sport Line F30 320d and 328i models during BMW's press test drive days and came away calling the F30 still just a good-looking saloon that drives rather beautifully at heart. Why? Read on…
Automobile Magazine was also among the first group of the automotive press to drive the F30 3 series. Their verdict? They were relieved to experience that the overall character of the 3-series has been maintained in this latest form. Read on…
Motor Trend reviews the 2012 328i sedan and asks the question: Do this bigger BMW's new turbo-four and electric steering compute?
Read on inside.
As we've mentioned, the first F30 press global drives recently began in Barcelona, and the first drives are now beginning to be posted.
First in is Edmunds Insideline's review of the F30 328i powered by BMW's new 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo engine. Inside are some of the highlights of what they have to say about the 2012 F30 328i sedan.

Calm Skin by Easing Stress
Studies show that stress can make psoriasis and itching worse. Some people even trace their first outbreak to a very stressful event. So sometimes you can calm symptoms simply by lowering your anxiety.
There are many ways to attack stress. Build a support system of family and friends. Think about what's most important to you and take time for it. Relaxing practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing help. Mind-body techniques like guided imagery and biofeedback (where you learn to control your body functions by changing your thoughts or what you're doing) can also help you unwind.
Other stress busters:
These will also help you fight off infections that may trigger flares.
Keep It Soft on Your Skin
Avoid harsh products like lotions with alcohol, deodorant soaps, and even some laundry soaps. These can inflame your super-sensitive skin. Don't buy clothes made from scratchy, rough fabrics. Choose softer, cotton-based ones instead.
Quit Smoking and Drinking
Smoking can trigger flares. Talk to your doctor if you're thinking of using a nicotine patch to help you quit. For some, they make psoriasis worse.
Heavy drinking can also trigger symptoms and affect your treatment. It can even cause dangerous side effects when combined with some psoriasis drugs.
Stop Scratching and Picking
There's no doubt about it: When you itch, you want to scratch. But scratching can tear open your skin, making way for infection-causing germs. It may also make sores appear where there weren't any before. And picking at your skin can lead to infection. When you have an urge, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and gently rub on moisturizer instead.

Hardback – 288 pages
Member's price: $44.96

Andrew Motion was appointed Poet Laureate in 1999, but alongside his work as a poet he also had a significant career as a prize-winning biographer and an illuminating critic. "Ways of Life" celebrates this talent with a selection of his articles about painters and poets, as well as a number of striking personal pieces.

"Ways of Life" is an original, acute and emotionally-charged collection of writings, from a truly important and insightful writer.
