Financial terms of the settlements were not disclosed, but Red Hat said in a statement that it has secured extensive protections for its customers and, interestingly enough, the larger open source community meaning even competitors that have created derivative works will benefit from this regardless of whether they signed a patent agreement with Red Hat or not.
The company is still defending itself against a third patent complaint filed in October 2007 by IP Innovation. The lawsuit accuses Red Hat of infringing three patents, all of which appear to have originally been assigned to Xerox and describe methods for displaying icons and windows on computer screens.

Used Car: 2012 Acura RDX Review
Reviewers said the 2012 Acura RDX rides a bit too firmly and suffers from turbo lag, though they did like its sporty handling.
The 2012 Acura RDX is ranked:
The 2012 RDX comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Test drivers said the RDX's engine is plenty powerful, but some noticed turbo lag when accelerating from a stop. But after its initial hesitation, reviewers agreed that the Acura RDX is speedy. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available. The 2012 RDX gets up to 19/24 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class. Test drivers liked the RDX's sporty handling, but they noted that it comes at the expense of an overly firm ride.
According to test drivers, the 2012 Acura RDX's interior isn't as upscale or modern as some rivals and is built with some low-rent materials. The 2012 RDX can seat five on leather-trimmed seats. Some critics had difficulty finding a comfortable driving position. They said that rear-seat legroom is adequate as long as the front seats aren't pushed too far back. Reviewers were pleased with the RDX's long list of standard features, which include heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a USB port, a power moonroof, a seven-speaker stereo system, Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Navigation, sun-sensing climate control and a 10-speaker Dolby stereo system are available. Test drivers generally found the Acura RDX's controls to be easy to use, though some thought the navigation system is a bit distracting. With 60.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, the 2012 Acura RDX's cargo space is fairly good for the class.
The 2012 Acura RDX has a high reliability rating for the class.
Acura RDX Pictures
Other SUVs to Consider
The 2012 Cadillac SRX comes with a six-cylinder engine that reviewers said feels powerful and delivers brisk acceleration from a stop. They also praised its attractive interior, which they said has top-notch fit and finish, as well as its generous cargo space and useful cargo management system.
The 2012 Volvo XC60 has one of the highest cargo capacities in the class, and test drivers said its interior looks and feels upscale. Reviewers praised its roomy and comfortable seats and its smooth ride over bumpy roads.

City Museum Plants Forest on Third Floor
By Aimee Levitt
A lush, nostalgic, rather sad yearning for something outside your daily experience, that's what. The snow globe encapsulates your triumph over the Empire State Building (admit it; you thought about dropping a penny over the rail). Encoded in the polyester fibers and acrylic brushstrokes of the velvet Elvis is your complicity in the tragicomic iconization of the King. Your cheesy souvenirs are collective memories in effigy, stamps on the passport to 20th-century human consciousness. This is the essence of kitsch: memories for sale. Today I'm buying a memory at that most consummate of local roadside attractions, Meramec Caverns.
The interstate is an embarrassingly fecund breeding ground for kitsch. This is because motorists in search of adventure will stop at everything to get it. Enter the roadside attraction, a living version of the Lucite scorpion paperweight, a commodified experience of which every molecule is mass-produced, shellacked and sold for more than it's worth. Barely an hour west on I-44 lies my date with the rarefied culture of the road, the "largest commercial cave in Missouri." The brochure promises not only fantastic spectacle (which I may consume, rain or shine, in constant 60-degree comfort) but a gift shop where I can lavish some cash on a sentimental bibelot that will permanently affix this sliver of collective memory to my mantel.
Well, the gift shop is a bust. Its worthless baubles are all steeped -- without irony -- in a generic, Walgreenish, 21st-century idiom; I yearn for the sort of junk they must have hawked in decades past, stuff that looks more like their goofy billboards -- i.e., bad taste, not no taste. But, fortunately, the cave tour turns out to be alternately cool and hilarious.
Lots of the actual cave stuff -- vaulted ceilings swathed in shadow and dripping with mineral icicles, pools of water that look 1,000 feet deep, a zillion lugubrious limestone pilasters, each more sublime than the most poignant Greek caryatid -- is genuinely awe-inspiring. The cave is hilarious only when slapped by the predatory hand that dips those scorpions in Lucite. Apparently the majesty of ancient, insanely weird cave formations fails to sufficiently engage the modern tourist's imagination. It has to be augmented with concrete sidewalks, campy red and purple fluorescent lights, a disco ball, a motel, a restaurant featuring "home style cooking," a trough of water where $4 buys you a bag of dirt with which you "pan for gold," a giant inflated dinosaur-shaped trampoline. Our "well-trained ranger," a perky teenager named Ricky who is part tour guide/part comedian, ups the ante with glossy dollops of cultified lore, decoupaged over the cave's Paleozoic hauteur with premeditated corniness.
Spotlighted in Ricky's quasi-history lecture is famed 19th-century desperado Jesse James. James is the golden boy of Meramec Caverns. Unless you've been living in your own cave, you know that a significant percentage of MC's quaint billboards, of which billboards no small quantity infests the surrounding hundred square miles, touts the cave as James' hideout. I encounter not one but two clumsy life-size statues of the Confederate guerrilla-turned-diabolical villain. One of these works festoons the front entrance in a manner usually reserved for enshrined saints. Nobody seems to find it the least bit disturbing that such high tribute is paid to a sociopath whose personal zeitgeist makes Charlie Manson look like John Lennon. The Meramec Caverns attitude toward him -- proprietary, reverent and indulgent -- might be expressed as: "Jesse James, that wacky purveyor of murder and mayhem, he may have been a tool, but he's our tool."
Everyone seems to have brought with them at least one mewling kid; anticipating this prerequisite, I have similarly equipped myself. Of course, my kid, young Ashley Loth, age 10 and on loan from her mother for the afternoon, stands alone at the zenith of model behavior. While the other tykes more or less constantly fidget and squall and commit acts of sociopathic hijinks, Ashley coolly maintains the poise of a 12-year-old at least.
She actually turns out to be instrumental in the success of the mission. Intrigued by her indifference to even the most bizarre cave formations ("They look like plastic"), I begin to amass fascinating evidence suggesting that the average age at which stalactites (the ones that drip down) actually become interesting is 55; for everyone else they are merely a mineral backdrop for a subterranean childrearing ordeal.
Be that as it may, in some circles a childhood trip to Meramec Caverns appears to be more or less compulsory. As we queue up for the tour, I overhear one mother bloodlessly explain the situation to her whining son: "I came here when I was a kid, and you're not getting out of it, either, buddy." Moved by this tender display, I suggest brightly to Ashley that this is a cherished rite of passage she'll be able to share with her own kids someday. Ashley, who has been dubiously eyeballing the creepy subumbral recesses beyond the gate, and from whom I have rather cruelly concealed the horrible truth that our tour will last nearly an hour-and-a-half, sizes me up as a "nut job" and replies without hesitation, "I'm not bringing my kids here!" Later, I abandon all hope of putting an educational spin on the outing when her only response on viewing the World's Largest Chunk of Onyx is "Eew, that guy farted!" Clearly, in the realm of the 10-year-old, flatulence is, hands down, more riveting than any dumb old rock.

Arizona Cardinals and the referees each dropped the ball Sunday
A referee has never cost a team a game.
But a referee sure can help a team lose one.
Sunday, in Philadelphia, the Arizona Cardinals did not play a particularly good football game in a 24-21 loss. Carson Palmer was responsible for three turnovers and missed some open receivers, the offensive line allowed five sacks (and numerous pressures), receivers dropped passes, the defense was carved up at times by some mediocre tight ends and the special teams were not so special.
Yet, with all of those issues, the Cards were still in position to win the game in its final minutes, and seemingly in prime position to earn a victory in a tough environment on a day in which they didn't play particularly well.
Then, Tyrann Mathieu was flagged for holding, negating a Patrick Peterson interception. Then, Michael Floyd was not granted either of two obvious penalties that would have kept Arizona's final drive alive. Then, Matt Shaughnessy was flagged for defensive holding, giving the Eagles a first down instead of forcing them to kick a field goal, thereby giving the Cardinals' offense one more shot.
It was a brutal sequence of events, especially if you like the Cardinals. Did it cost Arizona the game? No, but it hurt. Bad.
"I'll say this: the refereeing did not determine us losing the football game," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after the game. "We didn't make enough plays."
That's true.
When officiating problems occur, you'll often hear people say things like "don't leave it up to the refs" or "play better so the refs don't matter." Sometimes, you'll hear, "you can't play that poorly and expect to win anyway."
That's generally the approach Arians seemed to take following the events in the City of Brotherly Love. "We lost this football game with self-inflicted wounds," he said. "We didn't create any turnovers and we obviously turned it over and gave them an early start."
Indeed, if the Cardinals had played better it may not have come down to the referees making some questionable calls. Arians is right to take that approach, as his team cannot afford to dwell on the refs when they have plenty of their own mistakes to correct.
"Coach said after the game that's not the reason we lost," Palmer said. "There's bad calls in every game, that's part of the game. That's not why we lost the game."
It's not the only reason.
In this case, the calls that went against the Cardinals robbed them of an opportunity to make enough plays and overcome a sloppy performance to escape with a much-needed road win. And as my colleague Vince Marotta wrote, all you want is to have an opportunity.
"We just dug ourselves a hole in the first half," Larry Fitzgerald said. "But we played from behind many times and we were confident coming out that we'd be able to do it. There were a couple tough breaks down the stretch."
It's no fun when those breaks go against you.
"It's just unfortunate that that flag was out there," safety Rashad Johnson said of the hold on Mathieu that cost the Cardinals an interception. "I didn't see the whole play and see what exactly happened, but that's something that we don't want to happen at that point of time in the game.
"I can't really say if it was a good call or bad call, I really couldn't tell the whole thing. But it was definitely a big play in the game and a big momentum shift because we would have been in at least field goal range to tie the game up and go to overtime."
The Cardinals could have played better and the referees could have called the game better.
Both need to be better.

'Expendables 3′ Will Bring in "New Blood" Says Sylvester Stallone
Those 'Expendables' are still truckin'; despite being a combined age of 794 (well, roughly), the creaky action heroes are soldiering on toward 'The Expendables 3,' with Sylvester Stallone leading the charge. However, they just might be too old for this, um, stuff.
Stallone recently implied that the group will have to bring in new blood to keep going - and no, we don't mean a transfusion - we mean a new set of characters to shake things up and give the elder gentlemen a boost. So what does Sly have in mind? Find out after the break!

Simplify your back-to-school schedule with with these easy tips.
- Jump-start breakfast. Buy a coffeemaker with a timer. Get it ready at night and you'll have fresh coffee waiting for you when you wake up. While you're at it, set the breakfast table and slice fruit to put on cereal for a quick family breakfast.
- Streamline your out-the-door steps. Hang hooks near the door for keys. Keep a jar of change on the hall table for bus, parking, train and lunch money. Place a dry-erase board nearby and write down anything out of the ordinary that you'll need to bring with you.
- Get everyone in the mood. Put on a CD or turn on the radio in the kitchen with some of your family's favorite tunes. Music will help people get moving in the morning. Take turns picking the music or radio station, or create your own CD and let everyone in the family pick a few favorite songs to include.
- Organize your child's closet. Buy a vertical closet organizer with at least five cubbyholes. On Sunday afternoons, let your child pick out five outfits (including socks, shoes and accessories) that she will wear during the upcoming week. Then place one outfit in each compartment. She will be set for the week, and there will be no last-minute wardrobe scramble. This will work for your closet, too.

Lance Armstrong sat down for a taped interview with Oprah Winfrey on Monday, and the airing of the interview cannot come soon enough. People in all circles have been chatting about the highly anticipated event since word broke that Armstrong planned to come clean regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs during his illustrious cycling career. The interview will air over the span of two days (on Winfrey's OWN network), beginning at 9:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, January 17.
Earlier today, Oprah Winfrey said on CBS This Morning, "I would say he did not come clean in the manner I expected. It was surprising to me." But even if Armstrong failed to surprise Winfrey with his words, those statements would not necessarily reach the viewer. "I am curious as to whether Lance and his legal/PR team have approval rights over the content taped in the interview," said Ryan Rodenberg, an assistant professor of sports law analytics at Florida State University. "If they do, we can expect a fairly filtered, massaged message." Thus, the product that will be displayed over the span of two evenings on Winfrey's network may also surprise those tuning in; the message may not be as impressive as the build-up.
Either way, Armstrong's admissions will likely have little-to-no effect on the amount of money he earned from prior sponsors, which included the likes of Nike, Oakley and Discovery Channel. "Of course there is the possibility that any of his former sponsors will go back and look at his endorsement contracts and say he violated his endorsement deal by breaching the morals clauses contained therein and wish to recoup the fees paid [to Armstrong]," explained Rodenberg. "I've seen enough of those contracts that there may be a plausible claim, but even absent viewing the actual contracts, I could see [the sponsors] not pursuing it. There could easily be non-legal reasons not to pursue a recoupment of fees paid to Armstrong, including a desire to stay out of the public eye. We didn't see a flurry of lawsuits after the Tiger Woods scandal, and certainly many of his endorsers had an opportunity to file civil cases."

TONIGHT'S GAME: The Red Wings continue their 4-game road trip with the opener of a 2-game series against the first-place Syracuse Chiefs (Nationals) from NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse. The Wings lost last night to Buffalo in walkoff fashion to split the 2-G set. With only 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Wings are 6.0 GB of the Chiefs for first place in the North and 3.0 GB of Pawtucket in the Wild Card. Syracuse, who took 3 of 4 from the Red Wings in Rochester last week, hold a comfortable 3.0-game lead over the Paw Sox in the North as they look to make the playoffs for the first time since 1998 and snap the IL's longest active playoff drought.
SCHEDULING NOTE: The Wings have just 12 games remaining in the regular season with 6 scheduled for Frontier Field and 6 on the road. The combined winning percentage of the Wings remaining schedule is .536, while the combined winning percentage of Pawtucket is .511. The Paw Sox still have 4 games remaining against last-place LHV (59-72).
TONIGHT'S WINGS STARTER: The Wings send southpaw Kris Johnson to the mound in the opener Thursday to make his 21st start of the year for Rochester. Johnson, who allowed 6 runs on 9 hits (2 HR) in 6.2 IP in a loss to Syracuse on Friday at Frontier Field, has struggled in August going 0-3, 9.45 ERA with 24 hits allowed in 13.1 IP and only 5 SO in 3 GS. Prior to this month, Johnson, who posted the IL's best ERA a season ago with IND, was 9-4, 2.79 ERA in 17 starts.
CC HITTING THE LONG BALL: Wings 1B Chris Colabello hit his team-leading 10th HR of the season (in 49 games) on Wednesday and his 2nd in as many nights. Colabello now has 34 homers in 138 career games with the Red Wings -- moving him into a T-5th for most home runs by a Red Wing during the Twins era. Matt Macri (315 G) and Kevin West (220 G) also hit 34 homers for the Wings in their careers. In his Red Wings tenure, Colabello has homered once every 15.06 ABs -- for comparison sake TOL's Mike Hessman leads the IL with a 1/15.04 HR/AB ratio this season.
→CC's home run on Wednesday night was the 66th of his affiliated ball career (386 G) since the beginning of 2012.
MEYER MAGIC: On Wednesday night @ BUF, RHP Alex Meyer (5.2 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 10 SO) turned in his 4th double digit strikeout performance of the season and the 6th of his career. Meyer and Trevor May - who owns two, 11 SO games this year - are the only two Wings to reach double figures in punch outs this season. The Twins top pitching prospect leads the IL with 149 SO this season and has a chance to become the first Wing to lead the IL in SO since Boof Bonser in 2005 (168). Meyer, who entered the game with a league-high 60 walks, issued 0 free passes for just the 3rd time in his 25 starts this season.
PINTO PACING THE OFFENSE: Wings C/DH Josmil Pinto has collected multiple hits in 10 of 19 August games, hitting .368 (25-for-68) with 11 XBH and 15 RBI raising his average nearly 50 points. His .368 August mark is 8th best in the IL. Over his last 29 games, Pinto is batting .330 (34-104) with 12 2B, 3B, 4 HR and 27 RBI. Over his first 20 games after being optioned down from Minnesota, he batted just .246 with 6 XBH and 7 RBI.
HOT WINGS: OF Wilkin Ramirez has a hit in 13 of his 15 August games, batting .328 (19-58) with 5 XBH and 9 RBI... Over his last 10 games, INF Pedro Florimon is hitting .353 (12-for-34) with 5 2B, 3B and 8 RBI...OF Daniel Ortiz has a hit in 14 of last 16 starts, batting .344 (21-61) w/ 6 2B, 2 HR, 10 R and 9 RBI...Over his last 5 G, C/OF Chris Herrmann has 3 2B, HR, 3 R and 4 RBI...OF Aaron Hicks has picked up multiple hits in 6 of his first 13 games with the Red Wings and is now batting .327 (50-153) combined between New Britain (AA) and Rochester since July 1.
OLIVEROS ON A ROLL: After tossing 2.0 scoreless innings on Tuesday, Wings reliever Lester Oliveros has now thrown 16.1 straight scoreless innings over his last 9 G (7 H, 4 BB & 27 SO). The 16.1-inning streak is the longest by a Wings reliever this season and 2nd longest streak on the team (Y. Pino, 16.2 IP from 4/22-5/9). Oliveros has struck out multiple batters in each of his last 12 appearances (35 SO/20.2 IP) and in 15 of his 19 G. If he had enough innings to qualify, his 13.81 SO/9 IP ratio would be best among IL relievers.
→Over his last 6 appearances (10.1 IP), Oliveros has allowed 3 hits and 1 BB with 17 SO.
→The Wings lost in walk-off fashion for the 6th time this season and for the first time since July 18 @ NOR.
→The Wings went just 1-for-10 with RISP...In the Wings last 5 losses they are a combined 4-for-41 (.098) with RISP.
→With the loss, the Wings have now lost the season series to Buffalo for a 5th straight season.
→With Alex Meyer's leadoff HR to Darin Mastroianni, Wings starters have now allowed a HR in 8 straight starts (10 total HR)...The Wings rotation has allowed 61 HR this season with 48 of them coming since June 1.

One of the best of the many chinese take-out lunch spots. It also seems like a decent place to eat-in though I never have. Order/to-go pick up is fast and everything is fresh. Not greasy like most of the inexpensive chinese places. Try the steamed chicken and spinach dumplings - you get 6 for less than 5 bucks and they are fresh and filling
Posted by Anonymous on 07/07/2006
Definitely a great take-out place. I highly recommend the Sesame Chicken. And definitely-definitely!- try the Hot Noodles, unspicy. It is muy deliciouso.
Posted by Meredith on 02/10/2005
After bad experiences with other Chinese food delivery places in the area, we were so lucky to have found Oriental Noodle Shop. Our order arrived promptly, the food was delicious, just like Chinatown and we couldn't believe how little we paid for it! I'd highly recommend ordering from here.
Posted by Chuck on 01/18/2005
For Chinese delivered quick (in 5 degree temps) it's a good way to go... nice polite delivery guy. Standard cheap Chinese, good if you're hungry. Not the Chez Paul but it does the job. Would order again!
Posted by archimondaine jolie punk on 12/07/2004
Really unexpensive and really tasty. I am a big fan of their orange chicken (yes, it's not on the menu but you can order it most of the time)! They also deliver even if there is heavy rain...
Posted by Anonymous on 12/07/2004
If you don't mind eating on plastic plates, and you really shouldn't, this is a great, inexpensive place to eat. Try the vegetable dumplings, they are amazing. Bean curd is okay.
Posted by daeglo on 03/09/2004
Really good Chinatown quality food at nice prices. You know a place is good when they make their own dumplings and their own stock on premises. Give it a try. No regrets.

Fool Me Once: Celebrities Who Took Their Exes Back…And It Didn't End Quite Well- By Bossip Staff Categories: Break Ups, Coupled Up, Multi
Celebrities Who Took Exes BackThey always say it's never a good idea to go back to your old thangs. And we tend to agree. Once the hearts are broken and it all falls apart, it rarely works out when those bonds get tied back together. But, we all try it. And celebrities are no different. But we all know how it ends. Right? Let's take a look at celebrities that decide to get back together even though it wasn't the right decision. Or was it?
Vanessa Bryant - She divorced Kobe, then they were together for the Olympics only to have him dirty dogging with female swimmers.
Evelyn - She's lifted the restraining order against Chad. You think this means she's taking him back? If so, we don't see good things.
Drake - He let Rihanna back into his boudoir after she broke his heart. And it led to a big old fight. Whoops.
Nivea - Her and Wayne were booed up many years ago. But he came back around to knock her up. And that was about it.

Best CD Store (Used) St. Louis 2004 - Euclid Records - CLOSED
601 E. Lockwood Ave.
Webster Groves, MO 63119
Downloading music has taken some of the cachet from used CDs, at least as far as bargain-hunting goes: Why be happy to find the new Strokes album for two bucks cheaper when you could have gotten the whole thing for free? But at Euclid Records, you'll find CDs that you'd have gladly paid full price for if you hadn't stumbled across them here first. The CD purchasers are pretty stingy in their buying, which is a curse if you're looking to unload all of your old Smashing Pumpkins discs but a blessing for those on the lookout for gems. It's quality over quantity in these spacious Webster Groves digs, and while you may not find what you went in looking for, you'll definitely encounter three other discs that are even better.

CLB Speaker Series: Stephen Quake, Jaime King, and Kelly Ormond
February 18, 2009 5:00pm - 6:30pm
Professor of Engineering Stephen Quake and collaborators recently announced a prenatal screening test that bypasses risky amniocentesis and samples bits of fetal DNA obtained from the mother's blood. Such a test could dramatically increase rates of screening for chromosomal disorders such as Down's syndrome. UC Hastings Professor of Law Jaime King will discuss the legal and ethical implications in light of the current use of prenatal genetic testing, and Director of Stanford's program in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling Kelly Ormond will discuss the practical and counseling implications of such advances in screening technology.
Press release: New prenatal test for Down syndrome less risky than amniocentesis, Stanford/Packard scientists say

Gallery 6000 Opens the Picture This ExhibitPosted Sep. 9, 2013
Kent State University at Stark is proud to host the Gallery 6000 exhibit, entitled Picture This. Gallery 6000 is a collaboration between local artists and Kent State Stark, showcasing art of various media throughout the year. The exhibit, which is open to the public, is displayed in The University Center Dining Room, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township.
Picture This features the captivating photographic and digital visions from accomplished artists Jerry Domokur, Stephen McNulty, Su Nimon, Mandy Altimus Pond and Michele Waalkes. The exhibit will be on display from September 19 through November 8, 2013. Most of the displayed pieces are for sale. The curator of Gallery 6000, Tom Wachunas, is an artist and adjunct instructor at Kent State Stark.
An opening reception will take place on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at The University Center. Please RSVP to Janet at 330-244-3513 or email@example.com. The reception is free and open to the public. Representatives of the press are encouraged to attend.
The abstract digital manipulations by Domokur are intricately layered compositions that magically evoke both mechanical and organic structures.
The stunning photographs by McNulty are a brilliant witness to the power and beauty of nature, delivering a vital message of stewardship and awareness of awe-inspiring wilderness.
Nimon's original photographs of local, often iconic architectural landmarks are digitally processed to reduce detail, yet dramatically reveal fascinating nuances of mood and structure.
The photographs by Altimus Pond reflect what she calls "conceivable fantasies." With real, recognizable elements (people, costumes, locations), she creates highly intriguing contexts and dream worlds.
Waalkes transfers her contemplative and haunting photographs of natural and architectural settings on to sheer fabric and other materials, creating visual metaphors for life's journey.
For more information on the Picture This exhibit or Gallery 6000 at Kent State Stark, contact Janet at 330-244-3513 or email@example.com. Kent State Stark features additional art exhibits in the campus galleries located in Main Hall's lower level and the Fine Arts Building.

Reflection Of Thoughts
Learn more about expository essay
Expository essay is a type of essay that requires you to investigate about an idea, analyze its evidence and elaborate the idea. You need to put an argument in your essay regarding that idea in a concise yet clear manner. An expository essay can be written as compare and contrast, cause and effect, 'how to' process, definitions etc.
These kinds of essays are normally given in school or college to make evaluations and can be found in different formats.These tips will help you build a good structure of your expository essay.
Be concise yet clear and well define your thesis statement:
Always remember to be clear and concise in your essay, never put in irrelevant details because it will have a very bad effect on your reader. Keep your thesis statement as small as you can and always place it in the very first paragraph of your essay. The best places of thesis statement are the beginning or the ending of your introduction.
Make clear transitions between your introduction, body and conclusion:
Always make clear transitions between your introduction body and conclusion. Remember that if you will produce a mixed up essay your reader will never like that. Always move step by step with synchronization between you sentences. Without synchronization, the structure of your essay will collapse.
Keep your paragraph full with evidential support
Remember to take one idea per paragraph and make it full with different evidences. This will help you produce clarity and will create readability for your audience. Try to use logical evidences only.
Give a tinge of creativity to your essay:
Though expository essay don't require much of artfulness and creativity, you can use a bit of it to grab reader's attention. You can use flowery language to leave an everlasting impression on reader's mind. You can draw conceits and metaphors in compare and contrast of you can personify objects of your evidence.
The five-paragraph essay
The common approach for writing an expository essay is five paragraph essays. It means that you need to employ just five paragraphs in your whole essay. The first paragraph will be your introduction, next three paragraph will form the body of your essay (they will be evidentiary in their nature) and the last paragraph will form you conclusion. This however is not the only method to write an expository essay you can also use other methods but they are somewhat complicated in nature.
Always keep your conclusion concise and clear. Try not just to restate you thesis statement but redress your core matter in the light of evidences you have given in your essay. Remember that conclusion is the part where you will leave an impression on your reader's mind. Make that part clear; never exceed more than 4-6 lines and try to be effective and logical. Try not to disclose a new piece of information; synthesize your thinking to end your essay logically. You can use some quotation, post a question or end it on some twisted thought.View post
Learn to Pick the Right Thesis Statement to Write Effective Essays
Picking a thesis statement to jot down an essay can be very difficult because it requires a good deal of research and study. Whenever you are researching, brain waving and analyzing your topic, always try to take a good deal of time first before making you thesis statement. Remember that thesis statement is one single line that can tell everything about your essay or article. It will lead and shape the rest of essay so it should be clear and well defined.
The thesis statement appear either in the very beginning of your paper or at the end of its introduction. It is better if you put it in the beginning; however, you can also put it at the end. Reader always looks for your thesis statement first to get the whole idea of your writing.
Make your thesis statement arguable:
Your contention or thesis statement should be able to provoke arguments. If you're not sure about your bone of contention ask yourself questions against your point. If you will be able to answer them in opposition than it is an appropriate thesis statement but if you fail to do so remember that it is not thesis statement but just a fact.
For instance: "Computer is the best invention of man; it is the best source to get and transmit information around the world". No one will deny this or contend over this so it is not a thesis statement but a general fact so it is not an arguable statement.
Now see this: "excessive use of computers can affect family cohesion and there can be an increased divorce rate. Children who use computers excessively don't respect their parents" This is an arguable point because it can provoke discussion. People can oppose this and deny this so it can make a good thesis statement.
Always be specific: The thesis statement should be specific. Try to avoid broad topic; never pick up generalized statement like "all men are liars or all women are beautiful". Remember that your thesis statement should have all the details and a single line should throw light on your stance pretty well.
For instance: "We should never drink tap water". This statement is vague and generalized. It doesn't convey much sense as why we should avoid tap water. Since it doesn't provoke argument, it is not specific.
Now see this: "We should not drink tap water because it can cause serious health issues like hepatitis, diarrheas and nausea. Those who use tap water are more prone to diseases than those who take boiled water" Now this statement is much more specific and the reader can have a clear idea by reading this line that what the essay will be about.
Avoid listing points in your thesis statement.
If your thesis statement contains long lists of several points, it is a bad statement. Remember that long lists and several points' results in bad and shallow essays. Always try to be narrow and specific and remember that you have less space to fully explore an idea so be specific.
Keep your Essay Intro impactful through these tips
The first goal of your essay intro should be to grab reader's attention on the very first glance. You have to make your introduction highly efficient and impactful. Your introduction should be able to generate interest in readers. To attract you reader you should employ these points in your introduction.
- Some surprising fact: Using an interesting fact in your essay will make things interesting and effective. The readers will find it interesting and continue reading.
- New Information: It will also your reader curious; try to employ new info don't just copy paste random material from internet because it can have a negative effect on you reader.
- Some Interesting Quotes: Beginning your essay with a quotation or a saying really makes your essay impactful and it will grab reader's attention on the very first glance.
- Use different and odd terms: They also fascinate readers some try to use different terms which are uncommon to people.
- An inspiring question: Questions always make your essay influential because they provoke reader's interest they make him stir to think the answer of the question you employ so it is a good technique.
- Paradox and Oxymoron's: Try to use these because they carry dual meanings and reader always reads whole essay to find an interpretation.
In a short essay of 700-1000words never go for a lengthy introduction. Just try to grab reader's attention by employing one of the above-mentioned techniques into 4 to 5 short sentence and then begin writing on your issue. You can begin by describing some situation or the context of the problem you're talking about. Remember not to begin you essay with generalizations. It can leave a pretty bad effect on reader's mind. Allow try to be narrow and specific.
For instance, "all men are mortal (This is a very broad and generalized statement; it will not be provocation for questions in reader's mind). Now see this: Humans are the best creation of God; because he is bestowed with many qualities and among humans, men are more superior to the rest of the race. (This is a very specific statement; it stirs many questions in reader's mind it will lead to a great debate so it is not a fact but your thesis)
Remember that to write an intro you only need to be wise neither a learned man nor an eloquent one. Use your logic and reason to produce a simple and relevant intro for your essay. Never exhaust and bore your reader with lengthy and irreverent intro. The experts believe every writer should be specific and jump straight into the matter of contention. For instance, if you use to tell something about phenomenon's like death and pleasure never try to anatomize them with details because every person on this earth knows their meanings. Also try not to allure your reader with spice and sauces of language, in short just try to make a good conflict to get reader's attention.View post

Sophomore Sara Doutt scored one of Xavier's four goals on the night.
Oct. 13, 2006
Xavier freshman Brittany Green scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, as the Musketeer women's soccer team defeated the visiting Saint Louis Billikens 4-3 on Friday night at the Xavier University Soccer Complex.
Xavier raised its record to 1-3 in the Atlantic 10 Conference and 6-8 overall, while Saint Louis fell to 2-2 in the Atlantic 10 and 7-3-2 overall. Xavier, which is 6-0 at home this season, won for the eighth straight time at home dating back to last season.
Saint Louis struck first in the match just 8:33 into the action as Dee Guempel took a volley from Julia Brandenberg and nailed a shot from 15 yards out.
Xavier answered the SLU goal less than five minutes later as junior Allison Osborne collected a deflected shot and punched it into the back of the net from five yards out to tie the score at 1-1 at the 13:13 mark. Sophomore Carissa Gilbert earned an assist on the play.
The Musketeers took their first lead of the match at 15:31 when sophomore Sara Doutt scored on a header off a long cross and assist from sophomore Melissa Zimmerman. XU extended the lead to two goals at 3-1 as freshman Brittany Green found the net from five yards out at 24:11. Senior Angie Scarlato set up Green with a long cross and earned an assist on the play. Green's goal was the third of three unanswered goals by the Musketeers over an 11-minute stretch.
The Billikens cut the XU advantage in half before halftime when Lauren Bozesky scored at the 41:51 mark. Xavier took a 3-2 advantage into the locker room at halftime.
Saint Louis wasted little time in scoring the game-tying goal in the second half, with Kelly Waeckerle finding the back of the net from 10 yards out at 49:04.
Green scored what proved to be the game-winner at 60:40 as she drilled a free kick from just outside the box and over the outstretched arms of Saint Louis goalkeeper Hannah Koesterer.
Xavier got plenty of big performances tonight, including a career-high 11 save performance from freshman goalkeeper Kelly Farrell.
Xavier is home again on Sunday to host Atlantic 10 Conference foe Duquesne at 1 p.m.

Via your post today and looking for a tailor in KC, look at Rydell's in Brookside. (cc: @andrewLgoble)
Regarding the tailor, Riedel's in Brookside (63rd and Brookside Blvd) has always been great for me and my family. I was gifted my dad's Burberry trench from the 80s, which they shortened and took in around the waist with total perfection. They're pricey, only take cash/check, and will often require a deposit for larger jobs, but definitely worth it.

UNC is spending the lowest amount of money on construction that it has in 10 years — with the smallest number of projects under construction in 20 years.
Only 10 projects are under construction on campus — at a total value of $311.6 million.
According to a report that UNC's Facilities Services submitted to the Chapel Hill Town Council in October, the last time the number of projects was that low was in early 1994, when only six projects were under construction.

A delivery apparatus for pressurized medical liquids has a primary reservoir and a primary pressurizing arrangement configured for removably pressurizing medical liquid in the primary reservoir to a delivery pressure. A secondary reservoir has an inlet connected via a valve to receive pressurized liquid from the primary reservoir. As secondary pressurizing arrangement is arranged for supplying a compensating pressure to the received pressurized liquid to maintain it at substantially the delivery pressure as pressure is reduced in the primary reservoir, particularly during refilling with medical liquid from an unpressurized source.
1. A delivery apparatus for a medical liquid, comprising:
a primary reservoir containing a medical liquid;
a primary pressurizing arrangement in communication with said primary reservoir for pressurizing said medical liquid therein to a delivery pressure produced by said primary pressurizing arrangement;
a secondary reservoir having an inlet connected to receive said medical liquid from said primary reservoir, as received pressurized liquid, and having an outlet allowing discharge of said pressurized liquid at said delivery pressure; and
a secondary pressurizing arrangement for interacting with said pressurized liquid in said secondary reservoir to maintain said received pressurized liquid substantially at said delivery pressure independently of whether said medical liquid in said primary reservoir is maintained at said delivery pressure.
2. A delivery apparatus as claimed in
3. A delivery apparatus as claimed as claim in
4. A delivery apparatus as claimed in
5. A delivery apparatus as claimed in
6. A delivery apparatus as claimed in
7. A delivery apparatus as claimed in
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a delivery apparatus for pressurized medical liquids and in particular to a re-fillable delivery apparatus for pressurized liquid anaesthetics.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known to provide a delivery apparatus for pressurized liquid anaesthetic which has a primary reservoir having an inlet for refilling with the liquid anaesthetic, a primary pressurizing arrangement, typically a source of pressurized inert gas and a pressure regulator, for maintaining liquid within the primary reservoir at a delivery pressure, and an outlet through which the pressurized liquid anaesthetic is controllably delivered at the delivery pressure. Normally, to refill the primary reservoir of this known apparatus either the delivery pressure must be removed and fresh liquid introduced through the inlet at atmospheric pressure, or liquid anaesthetic at the delivery pressure must be introduced through the inlet. The former has the disadvantage that the delivery of the pressurized liquid anaesthetic must be stopped during refilling and the latter has the disadvantages that pressurized liquid anaesthetic may escape into the local environment or that the delivery apparatus may become over-pressurized, which may cause either escape of anaesthetic into the local environment or an error in the delivered amount of the liquid anaesthetic.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a delivery apparatus for pressurized medical liquids which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages of known delivery systems of this type.
This object is achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a delivery apparatus having a primary reservoir for a medical liquid and a primary pressurizing arrangement for pressurizing the medical liquid in the primary reservoir to a delivery pressure, a secondary reservoir having an inlet connected to receive the pressurized medical liquid from the primary reservoir, an outlet for discharging the received pressurized liquid, and a secondary pressurizing arrangement for supplying a compensating pressure to the received pressurized liquid in the secondary reservoir, to maintain the received pressurized liquid at substantially the delivery pressure, as pressure is reduced within the primary reservoir.
By providing a secondary reservoir having an associated secondary pressurizing arrangement configured to maintain the liquid in the secondary reservoir at or close to the desired delivery pressure, a reduction in applied pressure in the primary reservoir can then be compensated for, which advantageously permits continued operation of the apparatus even in the absence or reduction of delivery pressure from the primary pressurizing arrangement. This has an advantage that the primary reservoir may be refilled at or about atmospheric pressure without interruption of delivery of the pressurized liquid.
The secondary pressurizing arrangement may be formed simply by a moveable section, such as a membrane, arranged to be moved by the application of a bias force, such as may be supplied from a mechanical biasing element or from the pressurizing gas source, to reduce the volume of the liquid containing portion of the secondary reservoir as the volume of liquid is reduced, primarily by exit through the outlet.
The movable section may be provided with a sealing head which is pressed against the outlet to form a liquid tight seal as the volume of liquid within the secondary reservoir reaches a predetermined minimum. The sealing head thus may act as a safety valve, stopping delivery when the amount of suitably pressurized liquid within the secondary reservoir falls to a predetermined, even zero, level.
A valve arrangement, such as a one-way or on/off valve arrangement, for controlling flow of liquid from the secondary reservoir into the primary reservoir may be connected to the inlet of the secondary reservoir. This controls flow back into the primary reservoir as the delivery pressure is removed from liquid therein and may be configured to enable substantially all of the liquid within the secondary reservoir to be made available for delivery through the outlet, which is particularly advantageous during refilling of the primary reservoir.
A primary pressurizing arrangement 18 is connected to the primary reservoir 2 and has a pressure regulating inlet valve 20 with an inlet side 22 for connection to a source of pressurized gas (not shown) and an outlet side 24 connected to a gas port 26 through which pressurized gas may flow into and out of the primary reservoir 2. Also connected to the gas port 26 is an outlet valve 28 through which gas from within the primary reservoir 2 may pass to either the atmosphere or, as shown, to an evacuation system 30 which either actively or passively recovers gas.
A resealable refill port 32 is provided for the transfer of medical liquid from a source 34 connectable to the port 32 and into the primary reservoir 2.
A secondary pressurizing arrangement has a bias element, here a spring bias 36 but which may be pneumatic or electromechanical, cooperably arranged with the membrane 8 to tend to move the membrane 8 so as to reduce the volume of the variable volume space 10.
Considering now
Once the reservoir 2 is refilled the port 32 is closed and the pressurizing arrangement operated to re-establish the delivery pressure. The valve 16 is then operated to open the inlet 14 to allow pressurized liquid from the primary reservoir 2 to enter the variable volume space 10 of the secondary reservoir, returning the apparatus to the operating condition illustrated in
As shown in
The membrane 8 also is provided with a sealing element 42 which moves with the membrane 8 and can be urged against the outlet 12 by the biasing element 36 as the membrane 8 is moved to reduce the volume of the space 10 to a minimum. This stops delivery of the medical liquid from the secondary reservoir 6 and can be operated to act as a safety valve. This operating position is shown in
Considering now the embodiment shown in
A gas control unit 54 has a switch unit 56 having a number of flow path selectors (such as 'T' valves 60 a, 60 b) and on/off valves (for example 62) which can be operated to selectively connect a gas flow from a source of pressurized gas 76 via a pressure regulator 58 to one or both gas ports 64, 66 of the primary 44 and secondary 46 reservoirs, respectively. The valves 60 a, 60 b and 62 are arranged such that one or both of the gas ports 64, 66 can be connected to atmosphere. Thus by selective operation of the switch unit 56 the valves 60 a, 60 b and 62 can be positioned so that the pressurized gas from the regulator 58 can be introduced into one or both spaces 70, 72 above liquid in the primary 44 and secondary 46 reservoirs respectively to pressurize the liquid 4 contained in the reservoirs 44,46 to a predetermined delivery pressure.
A re-sealable refill port 68 is provided for the transfer of medical liquid from a source 34 connectable to the port 32 and into the primary reservoir 44.
Optionally, and as illustrated in
The refill port 68 may then be unsealed and medical liquid 4 can flow from the source 34. Any pressure decrease in the space 72 as the level of pressurized fluid in the secondary reservoir 46 decreases is compensated for by supply of additional pressurized gas via the pressure regulator 58.
It will be appreciated from the above description that the delivery apparatus of

Does cranking a head eliminate its character?
The main problem, however, are my snare heads.
I tune my snare to an almost unecessarily high level of tuning. That makes me sound like some idiot who doesn't know what he's doing, but it gets me the sound that I want. I currently have a pretty old Renaissance Emperor on my batter and stock reso, and both are pretty tight.
Originally I had planned on getting another Ren. Emperor, but then I changed to coated Ambassador, and now I'm on coated Emperor. Regardless of the batter, they'd be over a clear Ambassador Snare side.
So I wondered, in the end, would tuning these heads the way I do practically homogonize the sound? Does a head retain its character no matter how tightly you tune it?
"At the end of the day you just draw pretty pictures on a field and play some rimp ska dimps."
Re: Does cranking a head eliminate its character?
Tuning tensions are a personal thing.
Tension changes the way that the drum sounds and how it plays.
If my snare is to tight. I have trouble articulating certain things and I don't get the sound that I want.
To loose and the same thing happens. I also get more buzz than I like if the heads are to loose.
I set my snare as tight as I can so that I can play it properly and get the action and sound that I want.
There is no correct answer.
You have to experiment and do what is right for you.
I have found that I like my snare batters in the area of 86 to 88 on the drum dial to give an example of the tension that I use.
I keep my resos in the 76 to 78 range on the dial.
I tune by ear but I use the Dial as a reference.
I kind of like old drums:)

Re: Does cranking a head eliminate its character?
I would say it has a lot to do with the drum as well. For example, i tune my snare like you described, pretty tight on both sides... I do this because IMO you can get away with it with deeper drums (my snare is 8 x 14). In other words i can tune tight and still get a full sound. If i go to tight on my stock snare it just sounds too weak and has no body. I also tune my bassdrum relatively high for a bass (its 20x22), and use no muffling besides the insert that comes with the emad. If you heard my bass youd prob never guess that i have it tuned as high as i do because it has such a monstrous deeop thud. These are just my opinions, and many im sure many would disagree. Its all about what you like!
How big is your snare anyway?

Re: Does cranking a head eliminate its character?
Cranking heads "to infinity and beyond" will certainly decrease the character of the head, but more importantly, the drum! In the end, the pitch you tune to is subjective but if you listen carefully while tuning, tuning to the fundamental of the drum will allow the true sound of the shell to come through.
Snares can be tricky because you have the added element of the snare wires. Many people have their snare wires cranked (supposedly to increase the snare response- this becomes counter-intuitive at a certain point) and are choking out their drum. To compensate, they crank up the heads until the drum loses most of it's true sound and turns into more of a "pop."
Getting the right tuning for you and your drums takes time and patience. There is a lot of great media out there on tuning to help though. Bob Gatzen has some fantastic videos on YouTube related to tuning. Do a search for him.
Best of luck!
Re: Does cranking a head eliminate its character?
I crank my batter down pretty tight
about 90-92 on the drum dial.
There is a point where the drum starts to sound high and ringy
I like to go another 1/4 turn tighter around all the lugs.
The drum tone gets lower and fatter but the action is articulate.
snares as loose as they will go without rattling.

Saturday's college roundup
UNC tops Hurricanes
CHAPEL HILL — No. 1 North Carolina banged out 16 hits in a 14-2 win over No. 29 Miami to even the series with No. 29 Miami (15-6, 2-3 ACC) Saturday night at Boshamer Stadium.
The Tar Heels (17-1, 4-1 ACC) used an 11-run third inning in support of sophomore right-hander Benton Moss who matched a season high with nine strikeouts over seven scoreless innings of work.
Moss carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Miami's Ricky Eusebio doubled to open the inning. Moss would retire six of the next eight to improve to 5-0 on the year and tie for the league lead in wins.
The Tar Heels struck for a pair of runs in the second inning behind a two-run home run by sophomore second baseman Mike Zolk before UNC sent 15 batters to the plate in the third inning.
Eagles split with Savannah State
SAVANNAH, GA. — After dropping the first game 8-5, N.C. Central quickly returned the favor to the tune of 14-0 victory over Savannah State in seven innings to earn the split in the doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Tiger Baseball Field.
Game two was a totally different story for NCCU, as the Eagles led 1-0 after the first and threw the knockout blow in the second frame with six runs on three hits. The highlights were a two-run single by Carter Williamson and a Christian Triplett three-RBI double down the left-field line for a 7-0 lead.
After two runs in the fifth, NCCU added five more in the sixth when Williamson drilled his second double of the day to right field to put the Eagles up 11-0.
NCCU (10-9, 4-4) was led by Williamson's 4-for-7 effort at-the-plate with two doubles, three runs scored and five RBIs.
Heels split with Ball State, EMU
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — No. 24 UNC split games with Ball State and Eastern Michigan on Saturday in the Louisville Classic softball event.
The Tar Heels dropped their fourth straight with a 3-1 loss to the Cardinals in their first game before bouncing back in game two with a run-ruled 10-2 win over the Eagles.
Haleigh Dickey's three-run homer and sacrifice fly for the final run highlighted game two. Kristen Brown finished the day with six hits and two runs, while Aquilla Mateen scored three for the Tar Heels.
College golf
UNC WOMEN 7TH — The North Carolina women's golf team is in seventh place after the second round of the SunTrust Gator Invitational.
The Tar Heels shot a 14-over-par 294 to push their two-day total to a 35-over 595. Junior Katherine Perry continues to lead the Tar Heels after firing a 2-over-par 72 in the second round.
UNC MEN 7TH — The UNC men's golf team fired a 3-over-par 291 and stands in seventh place after the second round of the Seminole Intercollegiate.
The Tar Heels have a 2-over 578 total going into today's final round. Sophomore Brandon Dalinka led UNC on Saturday as he fired a 2-under-par 70.
Men's lacrosse
DUKE 12, TOWSON 4 — Freshman attackman Case Matheis scored a career-high three goals and had two assists, while sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Turri made a career-best 15 saves as No. 17 Duke beat Towson 12-4 on Saturday at Koskinen Stadium.
The Blue Devils (5-4) never trailed in the contest after scoring the first four goals of the afternoon. Tallies by David Lawson, Bill Conners, Matheis and Henry Lobb pushed Duke to a 4-1 lead at halftime.
Women's lacrosse
UNC 17, GEORGETOWN 11 — Junior Abbey Friend scored five goals and added an assist to lead the third-ranked North Carolina women's lacrosse team to a 17-11 win over eighth-ranked Georgetown at Fetzer Field.
The Tar Heels improved to 7-1 on the season with the win, while the Hoyas fell to 5-2.

The Abyss
Limited Quantities

A deep, dark Imperial Stout, The Abyss has almost immeasurable depth and complexity. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors make it something not just to quaff, but contemplate.
As for the great "drink it now or let it age" debate, we stand clearly on the fence. Distinct and delicious on release, the flavors meld and fuse into an entirely different pleasure after a year or more in the cellar.Malt: Pale, Black, Chocolate, Black Barley, Roasted Barley, Wheat
Hops: Millennium, Nugget, Styrian, German Northern Brewer
Other: Blackstrap Molasses, Brewer's Licorice, Vanilla Beans, Cherry Bark
Barrel-Aging: (28%) 6 Months in Bourbon, Oregon Oak, Pinot Noir
