A dental instrument including separable spray and suction mechanisms. The spray mechanism is preferably an air and water syringe of the type conventionally found in a dentist office. The spray mechanism has an elongate nozzle. The suction mechanism includes a tubular structure joined to a valve which is in turn joined to a suction or vacuum source. The tube includes an interior passageway and a forward suction opening into the passageway. The tube also includes a bend and has an aperture at the bend for removeably receiving the spray nozzle. In this manner the spray nozzle can be selectively inserted within the passageway of the suction mechanism. A user is then able to actuate either the spray mechanism and/or the suction mechanism utilizing a single hand that is holding the instrument 1. Alternatively, the mechanism may be removed from the suction mechanism and be utilized as an independent tool.
1. A dental instrument comprising:
a) a water spray mechanism flow connectable to a water supply and having a user operable water valve for controlling flow of water therethrough;
b) a water distribution nozzle on said spray mechanism having an internal fluid passageway flow connected to said water valve;
c) a suction mechanism; said suction mechanism including a suction passageway flow connected to a suction control valve that in turn is flow connectable to a suction generating source; said suction mechanism including a mounting aperture to allow said water distribution nozzle to be selectively and removeably inserted through said aperture, said water spray mechanism having a mounted position, such that when in the mounted position, said water nozzle is at least partially located within said vacuum passageway; said water spray mechanism having a non-mounted position wherein said water spray mechanism and said suction mechanism are unjoined and separably usable;
d) said water spray mechanism includes a handle and said water distribution nozzle is flow connected to an air source;
e) said spray mechanism further includes a valve for the control of air into said water distribution nozzle fluid passageway; and including
f) water source means connected to said water valve and suction generating means connected to said suction control valve.
2. A dental instrument comprising:
a) an air and water spray syringe having a handle, an elongate spray nozzle with a distal spray opening, a handle for holding, an air valve and a water valve flow connected to said spray opening and piping means operably connecting said air and water valve to sources of air and water respectively;
b) a suction apparatus having a valve flow connectable to a suction generator and a suction tube joined to the suction valve; said suction tube having a distal end with a suction opening therein flow connected to a suction passageway that is in turn flow connected to said suction valve; said tube having a bend therein; said tube having an aperture at said bend that opens into said passageway and is sized to receive said spray nozzle; said aperture including sealing means for pliably sealing about said spray nozzle; said tube being disposable and including connecting means for removeably connecting said tube to said suction valve; and
c) said syringe having a mounted position wherein said syringe is removeably mounted with said spray nozzle positioned in said passageway with said passageway having a larger interior diameter than said nozzle to allow flow thereby and a non-mounted configuration wherein said syringe is separated from and independently usable relative to said suction apparatus.
3. The instrument according to claim 2 wherein:
a) said tube includes a pliable suction tip; and
b) said spray opening and said suction opening are located in close proximity when in the mounted configuration.
The present invention is directed to an instrument for use by dentists or the like which allows the removable combination of an air and water syringe with a suction mechanism so that both can be used in combination and with a single hand or separated for individual use.
Two essential tools which are found in virtually every dentist office are an air and water syringe which allows the selective spray of air and/or water in the mouth of the patient and a suction apparatus which withdraws liquid from the patient's mouth. These two devices are normally independent of one another which produces a number of problems during usage. In particular, although it is sometimes preferable to have each of the devices in a separate hand for usage, it is common for a dentist to need both devices at the same time as one of the dentist's hands is required for conducting some procedure or working with some other tool. This presents a problem, since conventional instruments of this type are not designed to be held and operated in combination in a single hand.
Prior art devices have been developed to overcome this problem. However, the prior art devices essentially place the air and water spray mechanism and suction mechanism together in a single tool which is inseparable into component parts. Furthermore, these combination tools tend to be rather complicated and expensive as compared to conventional devices of this type. Yet further, the prior art devices require the complete replacement of conventional dentist devices of this type with the new combined tool.
Consequently, it is desirable to be able to provide an instrument that includes a suction device with an air and water spray mechanism in such a manner that they can be easily joined together or used separately. Still further it is desirable that the apparatus be controllable by a single hand leaving the opposite hand of the dentist free for other purposes. In addition it is desirable for the instrument to meet conventional sterile requirements which means each piece that engages the patient should be able to be easily sterilized. Finally, it is desirable that the instrument take advantage of as much existing standard equipment as possible and, in particular, that it utilize a conventional air and water spray syringe of the type found on the dental unit in virtually every dentist's office.
The present invention is directed to an easily disassembled combination of a dental water dispensing mechanism, especially an air and water dispensing syringe, and a suction mechanism. When combined and joined in a piggy back fashion, the overall instrument is holdable, as a single unit, in a single hand and fully controllable with the hand which holds it.
Preferably, the water mechanism is a standard air and water dispensing syringe which is found in most dental offices as a part of a conventional dental unit (that is, the equipment purchased for most dental examination rooms and sold as an overall unit by several suppliers). The water dispensing mechanism includes a water dispensing nozzle, a handle and a pair of finger actuated valves for dispensing water and/or air through the nozzle.
The suction mechanism includes a suction valve attached to a suction generating conduit and having an elongate tube attached thereto. The tube includes an interior passageway and at least one intermediate bend. The tube also has a pliable suction tip mounted on the front end thereof with a opening leading to an internal suction passageway that is controlled by the suction valve. Located at the bend in the tube is an aperture with sealing apparatus which allows the aperture to removeably receive and seal about the water dispersing mechanisms nozzle. In this manner the water dispersing mechanisms nozzle may be selectively mounted within the suction passageway and extends to near the opening of the suction passageway such that a user thereof may alternatively operate the various valves of the device to provide any combination of suction, water and air at the opening of the suction passageway.
The tube is preferably constructed of a disposable material and removable from the valve so that a new tube can be used for each patient. The water dispensing mechanism is selectively either mounted piggy back style upon the suction mechanism as described above so that the two can be utilized in combination or alternatively can be easily removed so that each may be used independent of one another and operated by separate hands, if so desired.
Therefore, the objects of the present invention are: to provide a dental instrument which combines a water dispensing mechanism with a suction mechanism into a single and easily disassembled unit that can be operated by a single hand of a user; to provide such an instrument which utilizes a conventional dental air and water syringe as the water dispensing mechanism; to provide such a instrument wherein the water dispensing mechanism is piggy backed on the suction mechanism and wherein a nozzle of the water dispensing mechanism penetrates into an interior suction passageway of the suction mechanism, so that an opening of the water dispensing mechanism is positioned in close proximity to a suction opening of the suction mechanism; to provide such an instrument wherein a portion of the suction mechanism is disposable and can be easily removed and replaced by a new unit for each patient; to provide such an instrument wherein the water dispensing mechanism can be very simply and conveniently separated from the suction mechanism during various procedures so that the two component parts can be alternatively used together or in separate hands as needed during various procedures; to provide such an instrument which is relatively inexpensive to produce and makes utilization of a conventional and preferably previously existing air and water dental syringe in the construction thereof which does not require repurchase; to provide such an instrument which is relatively easy to use, simple to construct and especially well adapted for the intended usage thereof.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention.

As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
The reference numeral 1 designates a dental instrument including a spray mechanism 3 and a suction mechanism 4.
The spray mechanism 3 preferably includes a conventional air and water syringe 10 of the type that is typically found associated with dental units found in most dental offices and is readily available from most dental equipment supply business. The syringe 10 includes a body 12 having a depending handle 13. Connected to a lower end 14 of the handle and extending therethrough is a air hose 15 and a water hose 16. The hoses 15 and 16 are connected to sources of compressed air and water (not shown).
Located near the upper end of the syringe 10 is an air actuator 18 and a water actuator 19. The actuators 18 and 19 have associated therewith respective valves which are flow connected to respective hoses 15 and 16. A spray dispersion nozzle 20 is secured to the front end of the body 12 near the upper end thereof and includes an internal passageway 21 ending in a distal spray opening 22. The nozzle 20 is relatively elongate and is somewhat bent at a bend 23 therealong. The passageway 21 is flow connected to the valves of the actuators 18 and 19 so as to receive air and/or water into the passageway 21 when one or both of the actuators 18 and 19 are actuated.
The suction mechanism 4 includes a tube 30, a valve 31 and conduit means such as hose 32. The hose 32 is joined to a juncture tee 35 which in turn connects a vacuum hose 36. The vacuum hose 36 is preferably a conventional hose used in the practice of dentistry into which the tee 35 and subsequent elements of the section mechanism 4 have been added by cutting and insertion. The hose 32 is joined to the valve 31 at a nipple 38 so as to effectively flow connect suction or vacuum within the vacuum hose 36 to the one side of the valve 31. In this manner the hose 32 and hose 36 function to operable join the valve 31 to vacuum generating means, such as a vacuum compressor or blower (not shown).
Passing through the valve 31 is a passageway 40 through which flow is controlled by control knob 41.
The tube 30 contains an internal suction passageway 45 having a first opening 46. Surrounding and in close proximity to the opening 46 is a serrated nipple which is sized and shaped to be snugly received within the valve passageway 40 so as to effectively seal therewith. The nipple 47 and valve 31 are constructed such that the nipple 47 along with its attached tube 30 are relatively easily removed from and inserted into the passageway 40.
The tube 30 has a substantially Z-shaped configuration having a first portion 50 attached to the nipple 47, a second portion 51 aligned at slightly less than a 90° angle relative to the first portion 50 and a third portion 52 which is again aligned at slightly less than a 90° angle with respect to the second portion 51 and parallel to the first portion 50. In this manner a bend 54 is constructed between the second portion 51 and the third portion 52 and forms a seat 55 thereat. The third portion 52 further includes a forwardly extending suction tip 57 which is typically constructed of pliable plastic or rubber so that it will bend relatively easy should it engage a patient. The suction tip 57 is angled slightly with respect to the third portion 52 so as to have a bend 58. The angle at the bend 58 is relatively comparable to the angle of the bend 23 of the water spray nozzle 20.
The passageway 45 extends entirely through the tube first portion 50, second portion 51 and third portion 52, including the suction tip 57 and opens to the exterior at a suction opening 60 at the front end 61 of the suction tip 57.
Positioned in the seat 55 is an aperture 63 having sealing means thereabout, such as an illustrated o-ring 64 positioned. The aperture 63 is sized and shaped so as to receive the nozzle 20 and the o-ring 64 is also sized and shaped to receive the nozzle 20 and seal thereabout.
The spray mechanism 3 has a mounted position or configuration relative to the suction mechanism 4 which is shown in FIGS. 1 through 6 wherein the spray mechanism 3 is piggybacked on the suction mechanism 4 and the nozzle 20 is sheathed or received within the passageway 45. In particular, the spray nozzle 20 of the spray mechanism 3 is inserted through the aperture 63 and extends through the passageway 45 to near the forward or distal end thereof. In this manner the spray opening 22 of the spray mechanism 3 is located in close proximity to the suction opening 60 of the suction mechanism 4. This is seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5. The suction passageway 45 in the region of the tube third portion 52 and suction tip 57 is substantially larger than the diameter of the nozzle 20 so as to define and provide an annular suction passage 66 around the nozzle 20.
The spray mechanism 3 also has a non-mounted or separated configuration with respect to the suction mechanism 4 which is illustrated in FIG. 7 with the further separation of the tube 30 from the valve 31. In the non-mounted configuration the spray mechanism 3 is separated from the suction mechanism 4 and both mechanisms 3 and 4 can be used separately. The instrument 1 can thus be easily and rapidly switched from between the mounted configuration and the non-mounted configuration to allow a user to take full advantage of the apparatus.
When the apparatus is in the mounted configuration, such as is seen in FIGS. 1 through 6, the valve control knob 1 for suction and the actuators 18 and 19 for air and water respectively are located so that a user holding the instrument 1 by the handle 13 can easily operate each utilizing the same hand as is being used to hold the instrument 1.
The tube 30 is preferably constructed of a plastic material or the like and is disposable. This eliminates the need to sterilize the tube 30 after each usage. For replacement of the tube 30, the spray mechanism 3 is withdrawn from the suction mechanism 4, such as is shown in FIG. 7. The tube 30 is then separated from the valve 31 by withdrawing the nipple 47 from the passageway 45 and replacing the removed tube 30 with a new tube of identical or similar construction.
Although the instrument 1 is described as a dental instrument, it is foreseen that it could be utilized for certain other purposes, including but not limited to, medical practices requiring both water spray and vacuum or suction.
In use a dentist may use the spray mechanism 3 and suction mechanism 4 separately and in separate hands by actuation of the control knob 41 on the suction mechanism 4 or actuators 18 and 19 on the spray mechanism 3. If the user so desires, the spray mechanism 3 may be used in conjunction with a conventional vacuum hose (not shown) for such two handed procedures. If the user needs one of their hands to either conduct some procedure or utilize some other tool, the separable parts of the instrument 1 may be joined together by inserting the nozzle 20 of the spray mechanism 3 into and through the aperture 63 of the suction mechanism 4 until the spray opening 22 is in close proximity to the suction opening 60, as is seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5. The user then may selectively use any or all of the air actuator 18, water actuator 19 and suction control knob 41 to provide a desired combination of air spray, water spray and vacuum or suction of liquid.
It is to be understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangement of parts described and shown.

Nicky Clark`s opportunist strike deep into stoppage time grabbed a point for Queens as the second division title gets ever closer. On the balance of 90 minutes play the point was probably just about deserved but with the home side having been the better team in the second period and having scored with just seven minutes to go it was a desperately good point to get. It was far from a vintage performance from Queens but champions roll their sleeves up and make sure they don`t lose games like these and that`s what the team did today.
Injury meant captain Chris Higgins sat out today and Derek Young was also still missing but new father Stephen McKenna was back in the heart of midfield. Trialist Marc Fizpatrick made a debut at left back after sitting on the bench last week also. All that meant Ryan McGuffie moved across to centre half to partner Durnan, Chris Mitchell slotted back into his preferred right back position and Kevin Holt dropped to the bench. The home side surprisingly left Steven Doris on the bench but Derek Holmes was there to prove a handful as usual.
Referee Tumilty leads the sides out for a minutes silence in the memory of both Ed Littlejohn and Jim Leslie
Queens were much the better side in the opening period, particularly after a tactical switch to 4-3-3 midway through the half. McGuffie had already headed a good opportunity from a corner over the crossbar before Gavin Reilly battered the outside of the post with a fierce strike from out wide. The home side had their only obvious opportunity of the opening half in 14 minutes but Robinson did well to make a block and the defence mopped up. A flying save from Morrison in the home goal denied Nicky Clark his 30th goal of the season just before the half hour and then Derek Lyle sliced wildly over the bar when he had time to do better. However, the best chance of the half arrived in the final minute when Clark burst clean through on goal. He had Carmichael alongside and a pass would surely have meant a tap in for the winger but it`s hard to blame the striker for having a go himself given his success this season. Morrison though was equal to it and made the block, setting his team on a break in fact that ended when Durnan was booked for a cynical foul on halfway.
Derek Lyle passes up a great chance as his efort flies over
Queens started the second period brightly enough with Gavin Reilly flashing a shot across the face of goal but the home side soon took control and should have taken the lead just before the hour when an horrendous error from McKenna presented the ball to Sheerin on the edge of our box with only Robinson between him and goal. The player manager seemed almost to be taken by surprise though and Robinson was quickly out to save before he could take full advantage. Five minute later the keeper was again the hero as he denied Holmes from point blank range with a flying save.
The Queens management team decided changes were needed and produced three in quick succession as Holt, Paton and Smith replaced Fitzpatrick, Reilly and Lyle respectively. It was the hosts though that broke the dealock in spectacular style with seven minutes to go. An attack broke down but the ball was never properly cleared and Euan Smith won it back 30 yards from goal. He took a couple of strides forward into space and then unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top right corner of Robinson`s goal that the keeper couldn`t get near.
No.7 Smith gives Robinson no chance with a superb strike to give the home side the lead
That should have been enough for Arbroath but perhaps not surprisingly, on the brink of inflicting only our second defeat all season, they got nervous and started to make obvious mistakes at the back. In the final minute it took a stunning save from Morrison to deny Clark as he spun onto a loose ball and rifled it goalwards. It was ironic then that three minutes into the injury time it was the keeper`s needless venture into no-man`s land for a long ball forward he was never getting near that left Nicky Clark with what amounted to a tap in to an empty net when the loose ball dropped to him in space.
In the end it was an ugly scrappy draw but in the circumstances it felt like a win and means the title is only nine points away tonight.
Queens fans created a great atmosphere with a conga almost all the way around the ground.

The Novak Guide to the
GM TH700R4 / 4L60 & Early 4L60-E Automatic Transmission
The TH700R4 is an automatic shift, four-speed overdrive, longitudinally positioned transmission. It is now considered to be one of the finest overdrive automatic transmissions ever produced.
The Turbo 700 was introduced in 1982 as a response to fuel economy pressures, and to be phased in as the replacement for the TH350. The transmission was available for both car (RWD) and truck platforms. The transmission's principal new feature was its 30% overdrive. It also sported a lower-than-usual 3.06:1 first gear, popular for off-the-line acceleration as well as off-road torque.
There were some initial bugs in the earlier versions. A feather in GM / Hydramatic's cap was the fact that they stuck with the 700R and followed through with improvements and upgrades. 1987 and newer transmissions are considered to be refined and very reliable, as indicated by their OEM installations against performance 350 V8s in sports cars and trucks. Earlier transmissions are affordably given all these upgrades to put them at the same high level of durable service and performance. Aftermarket building techniques and parts upgrades make this transmission very capable of Big Block power in race, street and off-road applications.
In 1990, the 700R4 was redesignated as the 4L60 (4-speeds, Longitudinally positioned, 6000 lbs. GVW). This was a change in name only with no significant mechanical changes associated.
The 700R4 and Mileage Benefits
A good part of GM's reasoning in developing the 700R was to allow more of their vehicles to meet ever stricter mileage and emissions requirements. It was an effective strategy.
By converting to the 700R, your Jeep may realize significant mileage benefits as well. It is not uncommon for swappers of this transmission to see a 30% drop in fuel consumption if the Jeep sees highway use.
Additionally, the transmission features a lock-up torque converter to allow a direct, non-slip connection through the transmission. This has the benefit of further fuel savings and cooler transmission operating temperatures. However, it is crucial that this lockup mechanism be properly connected to the ECM and brake lamp circuit. Stand-alone computers are available on the aftermarket for its control. Some control units even allow for the lockup to occur at a given speed. Lock-up converters in automatic transmissions give the advantage of direct engine lockup through the otherwise fluid-coupled transmission. This function works either by the ECM or a vacuum switch. Earlier versions without ECM use a vacuum switch connected to ported vacuum. The transmission receives the signal and applies fluid pressure to the clutches in the lock-up converter. The system switches off due to a signal from the brake pedal.
If you run the transmission with the converter unlocked all the time it will run a little hotter. Keeping it cool is important. The advantage of this lock-up converter is increased fuel economy and decreased heat at cruising speeds.
If you would like to simplify the stock setups, torque converter controls are available through racing supply retailers in a variety of styles. These facilitate the proper installation of the TH350 and 700R4. The on-road advantages are obvious. For the off-roader, the ability to manually switch the torque converter on is excellent in that it allows for compression braking.
In 1993, an important change did occur and that was the conversion of the hydraulic logic shifting system over to an electronic one. Mechanically, the transmission's power transmitting core remained the same, but the valve body and actuation system for the clutches, bands, etc. became controlled by electronic actuators and solenoids. A Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) was used as the primary feedback sensor, which fed the PCM or ECM (vehicle powertrain computer) the data to make shift decisions. The engineering of this system is not regarded as a complication, but an elegant simplification and further improvement to this transmission. This version is called the 4L60-E (or Early 4L60-E for our purposes).
In 1997, the 4L60-E began to be released having received a redesigned case. This is the Later 4L60-E, discussed here.
The 700 transmission has a main case of cast aluminum alloy with a length of 23-3/8" long. It is distinguished from the TH350 and TH400 in that it has a square oil pan, lacking the distinctive cut-off corner of the TH350 and the "Texas" shaped oil pan under the TH400.
Versions of the 700 transmission prior to 1984 had a 27 spline input shaft, changing later for a 30 spline input shaft. The transmission typically has a 1/4" pipe fittings on the passenger side for a cooling circuit. Later versions use a pinned flare and o-ring design for these fluid circuits.
The key distinction of the 700R4 / 4L60 / Early 4L60-E (from the Later 4L60-E) is the four bolt rear output or tailhousing / adapter pattern. The Later 4L60-E has a six bolt "hex" rear bolt pattern and a removable bellhousing.
There are three main castings of the 700R case. One is the standard car version. Another is cast slightly thicker, designated as the "K" case, as purposed for many trucks. The occurance of case breakage is very uncommon and most individuals swapping the 700R-4 into a Jeep probably will not be benefitted by one over the other. A third, rarer version was the "60 degree" version, as discussed below.
Two-wheel-drive versions have a tailhousing and typically a longer output shaft. Four-wheel-drive versions have various adapter assemblies and a shorter output shaft. If the tailhousing is removed, electronic versions can be distinguished by the absence of a worm drive
Transfer Case Adaptability
This transmission makes an excellent conversion transmission due to its adaptability into most Jeeps. Both 2wd and 4wd versions of the 700R can be used equally well, and there are no inherent advantages to either one once you have installed our adapter assembly.
|The 700R-4 or 4L60 as adapted to a Jeep 231 transfer case.
2wd transmissions feature conical shaped tailhousings and an output yoke, which are replaced with a typically shorter 4wd style output shaft (most often included with our adapter assemblies) of varying lengths and spline counts, depending on the application. The HydraMatic can be adapted to the popular Jeep (and many IH) transfer cases, including the:
Dana 18, 1941-1971
Dana 20, 1962-1979
Dana 300, 1980-1986
Essentially all factory GM 4wd applications available with an OEM configured 700R have adapters and transfer cases that are prohibitively long for a Jeep, and transfer cases whose sizes, strength and gearing fall short of desirable for most Jeep applications. 700R transmissions that are mated to the Chevy NP231 (231C) transfer case use an adapter with a different bolt pattern and spline count than the Jeep NP231 (231J).
Engine Compatibility and Adaptability
The front face TH700 is natively compatible with either the Chevrolet 90 degree "Small Block" & "Big Block" patterned engines (image, left), including the V6, V8, I6 & Iron Duke I4. Another version, the GM 60 degree pattern version, can be mated to 60 degree style engines, such as those in the 3800, 3.4, and other engine families. These transmissions are fairly rare as they were only produced for a few years in the Chevy S10 and Camaro with the 2.8L V6, prior to GM's upgrade to the 4.3L V6.
|A turn-key 700R-4, professionally built, OEM style or adapted and delivered to your door - ready for a variety of engines and Jeep transfer cases. Read more...
These differences only affect the front bell of the case, and all Turbo 700 cases are similar from that point back.
AMC/Mopar Jeep
The 700R-4 can be made compatible with AMC I6 & V8 engines. See our Kit #437AMC for details. This conversion can help make for an improved Jeep powertrain.
TH700R-4 Parts
Novak does carry a full line of parts for the 700R transmission, including OEM grade and upgrade components for individuals working on their transmissions. If interested, we welcome you to contact us.
GM's commitment to the 700R4 is apparent in its strength, quality and broad usability. It is hands-down one of the most respectable transmissions of our era, and a very compelling Jeep conversion transmission. The 700R is a very attractive swap option for all Jeeps, with the exception of the CJ5 and other short wheelbased Jeeps - due to powertrain length and driveshaft angle issues. Adaptability to nearly all Jeeps is exceptional.

The name Pizza Hut has nearly become a generic word for good, fast pizza—pick up and delivery. Pizza Huts were established 50 years ago in Wichita, Kansas.
Dan and Frank Carney established the first pizzeria in 1958 at the request of a landlord who had an unrented building. The two college students borrowed $600 from their mother and opened a beer and pizza restaurant for students. They purchased used equipment and decided to serve pizza to their customers.
The recipe for the Carney's early pizza dough was "a handful of this and a handful of that" all mixed together. As business improved they developed their own special recipe.
The choice proved to popular and the next year the first franchise opened in Topeka. By 1964 the Carneys had developed a branding for the Pizza Huts, establishing the familiar huts with red roofs that we know today. The brothers sold their interest in Pizza Hut in 1977. The Pizza Hut in Aggieville, Manhattan, Kansas was the home of the oldest continuously operating Pizza Hut in the world until it closed July 26, 2015.

problems building kernel interface
I am having difficulties getting nvidia-installer to compile a kernel or detect a precompiled one. I have both the kernel source and headers (2.4.27) and have compiled the source.
The .run file fails to start nvidia-installer on its own, so I used the flag --extract-only and ran the extracted nvidia-installer. It searches Nvidia ftp for a kernel interface but is unable to find one. I've tried specifying where the kernel source is located with --kernel-source-path and the installer still fails to build the kernel.
I'm completely out of ideas.
I've attached the nvidia-installer logfile. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I forgot to attach the logfile.
Re: problems building kernel interface
I have exactly the same problem.
Re: problems building kernel interface
Maybe I'm wrong (I don't have a clue when it comes to the kernel source and whatnot, although it seems I installed those), but it seems I have the same problem. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=70200
Re: problems building kernel interface
-> Kernel module load error: ./usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for@bathat: judging from the log file, the NVIDIA kernel module was built against the kernel source in /usr/src/linux-126.96.36.199; the error message captured in the log file indicates that you're running a different kernel.
@lou77, nchrisb: please attach the nvidia-installer.log files generated during the failed installation attempts.

The state meet in Austin represents the pinnacle for high school track and field athletes. And for Callie Sandusky of Highland, it will be a chance to end her two-sport career by bringing home a state medal.
Sandusky, a senior, will be making her first state appearance when she com-petes in the Class 1A girls high jump at 6 p.m. Friday. She qualified with a second-place jump of 5-4 at regionals, a personal best effort that tied Highland's school record set in 1984 by Brandye (Owens) Wilson, now a teacher at Highland.
A similar effort on Friday might be enough to earn a state medal. Only Kami Norton of Albany, who won at regionals with a leap of 5-6, has a better qualifying jump among the nine athletes in the field.
The 6-2 Sandusky is best known for her basketball accomplishments. This past year, she helped the Lady Hornets advance all the way to the Region II-A, Division II semifinals. She was named the district's defensive player of the year after averaging 14.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 5.9 blocks as a senior, and hopes to continue playing at Lubbock Christian University after her high school graduation, where she will be her senior class valedictorian.
But for now her attention is focused on Austin and doing her best this week. "I've never been to the state meet before and I'm pretty excited," she said. "I'm a little nervous, but I just want to go up there and compete the best that I can."
As far as her personal highlights, Sandusky said this ranks pretty high, but not quite as high as basket-ball, where she was a four-year starter whose teams made it to the playoffs each year — even though they had a different coach the past three years.
Ryan Dollar, Sandusky's current coach in basketball and track, said she has a good chance at winning a state medal in the high jump Friday in Austin. "It just depends on who has a good day and who doesn't," he said.
"(Callie) is one of those kids you love to have be-cause you tell her to do something, and she does it. She just goes about her business as quiet as can be."
Of course, breaking the school record this week would be a nice addition to winning her first state medal. "If I can clear 5-6, I have a pretty good chance at a medal," said Sandusky.
"I don't know if I can do it, but coach Dollar thinks I can. To break the record will be my goal."

Have I sold out?
I wasn't sure which thread to post this in but I wanted to get the forum's opinion.
I know several musicians who are either unemployed or working part-time. I haven't met anyone who has a regular 9-5 job like I do. yet. When I ask, they cringe at the thought of wasting 40 hours a week in a cubicle or office environment, etc. For as long as I've been playing in bands I've had some kind of job going on. In my early 20s, I went on an extended tour with my punk band and had a taste of what my life would be like if I gave up all I had and went for broke. Unfortunately, the end of the tour revealed harsh realities among my bandmates and within the the next few months, we disbanded. Unsure of continuing to play drums or be involved in music altogether, my dad advise that I get a degree in network engineering so that I am not struggling to make a buck. A few years later I graduated with a degree and began my post-music career in IT.
Today, I'm 30 years old, not married, have no kids and make decent money. I currently perform in two bands outside of my 9-5 job, possibly a 3rd if the audition goes well. Drumming is my passion but somehow I can't see myself giving up the steady income I earn to go on an extended tour like my last punk band did. Have I sold out in a way, have my ideas of success changed as I got older or am I just a hobbyist? Silly as it is, I'm stoked just to be playing at rehearsal or at a bar with less than 10 people.

Uttoxeter pub goers can now drink into the early hours
Posted: July 25, 2014|
A UTTOXETER pub will now be open into the early hours of the morning after being granted permission by licensing chiefs.
The Three Tunns, in Cheadle Road, will now serve alcohol until 1.30am on Fridays and Saturdays after a meeting before East Staffordshire Borough Council's licensing committee.
Landlord Paul Stockbridge, with agent Brian Wain, had originally applied for the licence until 2am but reached the compromise after 28 representations were received objecting to the plans and also a petition.
The objections mainly revolved around minor acts of antisocial behaviour after closing time, however, the police offered no evidence to support it and said it was a well-run venue.
Residents said they have been subjected to vandalism, litter, noise pollution and verbal abuse but added not all of the culprits had been leaving the pub.
Malcolm Morris, on behalf of the residents, said: "We don't have any objections to the current conditions but there is a history of low level antisocial behaviour due to alcohol – like vandalism and noise.
"We recognise the pub is a valid community facility but this is not appropriate in a residential area.
"The only other pubs that have the extended licence are based in the town centre."
He also said the incidents had not been reported to police as they are only minor.
The committee received no objections from responsible authorities including Staffordshire Police, the enforcement team and trading standards.
Mr Stockbridge said: "If we know there is a problem we can nip it in the bud straight away.
"One resident said there was a problem with people smoking outside the front and we are now telling people to smoke in the beer garden."
The popular pub was also granted permission to provide entertainment until 12.15am on Fridays and Saturdays instead of 11.15pm after it was heard it had lost business through private parties as a result of the earlier finish.
After the meeting Mr Stockbridge said he was glad to have been granted a later licence and it now meant he could take more bookings for private parties.

[Editor's Note: This is the first article in a new series - Back to the Basics. Please welcome our new contributor, Jeff Meehan. Jeff, a JD/MBA candidate at Suffolk University, recently interned with the Boston Red Sox.]
The majority of the sports fan population [including your's truly] suffers from the belief that they would be the perfect General Manager [GM] for their favorite sport organizations. However, due to the increased importance placed on sports analytics, the majority of these fans lack the skillset sought by today's front offices.
Other industries such as corporate finance, accounting, or even architecture, have structured career paths that guarantee you will be prepared to succeed in those fields. The sports industry by contrast, does not. Those looking to develop the skillset to succeed in a GM type of role will likely begin by combing through the piles upon piles of information available on the web or in various publications. However, up until this point, much of this information has been scattered, and required extensive amounts of discovery time to bring together.
The "Back to the Basics" series is designed to explore the foundation principals of statistical analysis across the four major American sports. The series will provide readers with an understanding of how teams approach roster construction and why certain decisions are made both on and off the field. Readers will also be directed to additional information sources, such as websites, books, or even magazine articles that could substantially increase their knowledge of the subject at hand. Now that you know why we are doing this, let's explore today's topic.
Baseball's Pythagorean [Win-Loss] Theorem Pythagorean Win-Loss is a metric used in baseball to determine a clubs Expected Win Percentage based on two factors: (1) The number of runs scored by the team [RS]; and (2) The number of runs allowed by the team [RA]. In essence, the formula allows us to reduce any club's season to the following: "Tell me how may runs a team scored and how many it allowed and I'll tell you how many games it won."
The mathematical formula looks like this:
Exp. WP% = [RS]^2 / ([RS]^2 + [RA]^2)
Bill James first published the formula in the early 1980's. Today, it is widely accepted and agreed upon that the most accurate exponent is 1.83, not 2.
Therefore, the current formula looks like this:
Exp. WP% = [RS]^1.83 / ([RS]^1.83 + [RA]^1.83)
If you know a club's expected win percentage, you can calculate the number of wins a club can expect to win when given the number of games played. For example, in the 2013 regular season, the New York Yankees scored 650 runs and allowed 671. Plugging those figures into the formula yields a win percentage of .4856.
Bill James is considered the main founder of baseball statistical analysis and has been given credit for coining the phrase "sabermetrics." Much of his work is found in his Baseball Abstract publications, and he currently writes for the Hardball Times and consults with the Boston Red Sox.
Clay Davenport and the team at Baseball Prospectus have refined the exponent even further. In their model, the exponent changes or "floats" based on the run environment (i.e. home park) a club plays in. Therefore, based on a 162 game Major League Baseball [MLB] schedule, the 2013 New York Yankees should have won 78.67 games. Expected Wins is almost always within three games of a clubs actual win-loss record. Therefore, under these conditions, the New York Yankees should have won between 76 and 82 games.
However, the Yankees actually won 85 games in 2013. That is almost seven wins greater than their Expected Win calculation and three wins greater than the 82 wins projected by the Expected Win Range. The 2013 Yankees make a great example because they show how Baseball's Pythagorean Theorem is not an exact calculation. Such strong deviations such as those displayed here are typically attributed to the quality of the clubs bullpen or the presence of clutch or timely hitting and pitching. The strength of the theorem lies in projecting wins based on the projected performances of the talent on the roster.
The goal, under this theorem, is to acquire talent that will either increase the amount of runs scored by a club or decrease the amount of runs it allows, leading to a greater projected win percentage and therefore a larger number of Expected Wins. While it should not be used as an exact calculation and determination of team talent, Pythagorean Win-Loss is a good and simple rule of thumb to determine if a club is over or underperforming.
Quick Stat: In 2013, the Pythagorean Win-Loss theorem correctly predicted 18 of the 30 teams actual wins within a three game + or – spread. Of the deviations greater than three games, three were four games off, three were five games off, and six were six or more games off of the actual wins mark. [See Table Below]
Note: ESPN uses 2 as an exponent when calculating Exp. Win-Loss Record. I re-performed the calculations using 1.83 for an exponent.

Mamiko also suspected that Kouta was interested in Chieri. Mamiko suggested that Chieri confront Kouta's parents about his slipping grades.One day in Math class, Mamiko voiced her interest in Kouta and Shigeaki. She also noticed Kiyoka keeping an eye on her. Later if Kouta goes shopping with Kiyoka, Mamiko pointed them out and warned Chieri to not get too emotionally invested in Kouta.When Chieri was absent from school due to a cold, Mamiko took over her class and gave the students homework. If Kouta approached Mamiko about Chieri, she gives him Chieri's home address.Later when Kiyoka confronted Kouta about her relationship with Chieri, Kouta may request for Mamiko's help. Mamiko then confronted Kiyoka about it and supports Kouta's relationship with Chieri.

How to Treat a Stress Fracture
A stress fracture is a tiny crack in a bone, such as your arm, foot or leg. The stress fracture is called an overuse injury, because it occurs when muscles become fatigued and can't absorb the shock of physical activity. One complication of a stress fracture is that the bone doesn't heal properly. Therefore, you may have chronic pain and a higher risk of having another stress fracture. Therefore, knowing how to treat a stress fracture can be the difference between experiencing chronic pain and being able to move without problems.
1Know the symptoms of a stress fracture.
- You feel an onset of pain with each completed workout or strenuous, physical task.
- Pain continues or increases as you continue working out. However, pain decreases when you're resting the bone.
- You feel tenderness in a specific area of your bone.
- Swelling increases or decreases, depending on the amount of stress you put on the bone.
2Consult a doctor.
- Discuss your symptoms with your doctor. Tell the doctor when the pain occurs, such as during workouts.
3Undergo any tests needed to confirm a stress fracture diagnoses.
4Treat the stress fracture.
- You must allow the bone to heal. Healing time depends on the severity of the pain.
- Rest the affected limb for 6-to-8 weeks to allow the bone to heal. You may elevate the limb and avoid putting weight on it. The doctor may require you to wear a walking boot, splint or brace if the stress fracture is too severe. You may also need to use crutches.
- Place ice on the affected area to relieve pain and decrease swelling. Apply ice packs directly onto the area approximately 3-to-4 times a day. The ice packs should stay on the fracture for about 10 minutes each time.
- Take acetaminophen to relieve the pain. Avoid NSAIDS such as naproxen, mobic, and ibuprofen as they can interfere with the healing process.
- Slowly return to performing repetitive or high-impact activities such as running and basketball. Instead, focus on low-impact activities like swimming or biking.
- Buy a brace or shoe inserts that absorb more of the shock if the stress fracture is located in your leg or foot.
5Visit the doctor to make sure the stress fracture has healed.Ad
We could really use your help!
- You can prevent a stress fracture. Rest whenever you experience pain in your limbs. Wear footwear that properly fits. Start a new exercise program slowly and increase your intensity gradually. You should also include cross training activities into your workout program. You can also prevent a stress fracture by eating healthy.
- Naproxen medications such as Aleve can be used to relieve pain. However, they may interfere with your stress fracture healing.

BeBook enters the tablet market - we go hands-on
BeBook, the Dutch eBook specialist, has announced its first Android tablet - the Froyo packing BeBook Live.
"Froyo?" we hear you cry. "But it isn't 2010 anymore".
We know, we know - but if you've not got £500+ to splash on a Honeycomb tablet, and you want to get in the Android slate game without breaking the bank then you may want to pay attention - the BeBook Live comes in at less than £230.
And yes, we know that there were a load of Android tablets flying around at the end of last year / beginning of this year for around the same price. But the difference between those models (and you know the ones we're talking about) and this machine is that they were all truly awful and the BeBook isn't half bad.
That's the impression that Pocket-lint got anyway, as it spent some time with the device as it made its way to the UK for the first time, under close guard from BeBook CEO Johan Hagenbeuk.
The BeBook Live packs a fairly impressive spec sheet for the price tag. It's more on a par with the Samsung Galaxy Tab than the cheap tablet offerings that we've seen before.
Like the SamTab, it's got a 1GHz A8 processor with 512MB of RAM. The 7-inch display isn't quite as sharp, its capacitive TFT LCD being 800x600 - but it does have HDMI out and is capable of full 1080p output.
On board, there's 4GB of storage (expandable by 32GB with a microSD) and you've also got a 2-megapixel camera to take care of your video calling.
It's not Google certified so you'll not get the Google apps (or Android Market) as standard - but there are ways around this, which don't take very much effort after a spot of Googling. Hagenbeuk certainly had no problem getting the apps on his device.
We did question the BeBook CEO as to whether an Android update may be coming down the line, but he didn't sound too optimistic. Honeycomb was too buggy he said, and really needed a Tegra 2 chip - and there was not even a mention of Gingerbread.
However, Froyo seemed to fit the hardware well - performance was good, very nippy, with the accelerometer working without a stutter and the pinch to zoom feature on the browser responding well. There were also a couple of nice apps on board including RockPlayer Lite for all of your movies.
Build wise, the device felt nice in the hand (weighing 426g), with a nice soft plastic finish on the back and some reassuringly sturdy physical Android buttons. There was a noticeable whirr when apps were loading which could be felt, but we'd have to spend a lot more time with the device before deciding if this was an issue.
BeBook may be a little late to the Froyo tablet party - but we think that it may have just brought with it a device that could make an impact, especially for younger tech fans looking to get in on the tab fun.
The BeBook live hits the shops on 21 June, priced at £229. Pocket-lint will have a full review up ASAP, so be sure to check our reviews section.

Easy methods to Increase a zero cost Holiday Instruction

In the reign of Emperor Zhao, in 81 BC, 60 Confucian scholars were asked to consider the effect of government meddling in the economy. The Middle Kingdom was in a fix. Mongol raiders were pressing it from the East; the government was going broke. Taking the advice of Sang Hongyang, the feds of that era had put in place various state monopolies and price controls. The result?
"People live in houses with badly-made beams and shoddy thatched roofs. They wear clothes of rough fabric and eat out of bowls made of dirt," the sages explained. "We waste our time on vain efforts…and lack the essentials, food and clothing."
The scholars gave their advice in moral terms: "Above all, emphasize virtue and suppress get-rich-quick speculations." Too bad they didn't have The Financial Times or The New York Times to guide them! These journals offer a world without wickedness or moral lessons. Economy in a funk? Forget the real cause. Stimulate it! We can worry about the real problem "after the economy has recovered," writes Paul Krugman in The New York Times. "Only those who believe the economy is a morality play," would want to suffer the pain of a correction, adds Martin Wolf at the FT.
Readers are urged to focus on the hilarity of the scene rather than on its gravity. It is as if a fat man were bending over. The further over he goes, the more his seams split. First to go was the subprime seam in the back…then the Greek seam on the side. But no one wants to say the obvious thing: that he should stand up straight and lose weight. Instead, the FT and the NYT want the government to buy him a larger pair of pants.
You have read a number of unpopular views in our Daily Reckonings…
That this was not a typical post-war recession; it is a Great Correction. Over-indebted American and British economies need to de-leverage.
…That no recovery is possible, because the preceding model of debt-fueled consumption was unsustainable.
…That 'stimulus' efforts were not only a waste of time and money, but also harmful; people who made bad bets should take their losses with dignity instead of trying to get others to pay.
In the 10 million or so years since our ancestors have walked on two feet, many were the challenges that arose. We learned to hunt and gather…to build shelter…to clothe our bodies and to kill each other. We made tools and were able even to split atoms and remove body tattoos. We evolved into a practical, problem-solving race. But never could we solve the problem of an economic downturn.
Why? Because the Confucian scholars were right. A properly functioning market economy gives people neither what they want nor what they expect, but what they deserve. In that sense it is 'moral' not mechanical. You can't pull levers nor turn screws to stop a correction. Like old age, the best you can do is to endure it with good grace; the alternative is worse.
Central planners don't create wealth. They can only move it around, robbing Peter to pay Paul. This only 'stimulates' an economy if Paul uses the resources better than Peter. Don't make us laugh. In most cases, Paul is the same clown who made the bad bets in the first place.
In the present instance, instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul, the feds judged it prudent to borrow from Peter. But Peter is no dope. First, he turned his eyes on Greece. Then, he noticed all the other peripheral players in the Eurozone… Then, he put his wallet back in his pocket. It became obvious that the jig was up. As Nouriel Roubini put it, we reached the point where "austerity is not optional."
Stoicism went out of style in the economics profession 100 years ago. Activism paid. Stoicism did not. Since then, busybodies have advised presidents, headed central banks, run multi-national agencies, appeared on covers of TIME magazine, won the Legion d'Honneur and the Enron Prize…and run billion-dollar hedge funds. And now, after 18 months…and approximately $12 trillion worth of stimulus, bailouts and debt guarantees…we see the results of a live test. Have our modern economists done better than Sang Hongyang?
The latest evidence came in last week, from the US. The biggest source of employment lately is the US government itself, which has hired hundreds of thousands of census takers. Obviously, if you could make people better off by having them count things, why not hire more of them and have them count the hairs on our heads? Employment in the private sector is still going down. One in ten Americans is officially unemployed…one is six is working at less than capacity. Twice as many people have been out of work for more than 27 weeks this year than the year before. Not surprisingly, real incomes are going down too. Meanwhile, one of every 8 houses is delinquent or in default on its mortgage. Statistically, 7.2 million of them will be foreclosed, most likely leading to another drop in housing prices…and a drop in household wealth.
Prices are falling too. M3 fell at a 5% rate in May. Consumer prices, officially, are increasing at the slowest pace since 1966. Unofficially, adjusting for the real cost of housing, the actual cost of living is in outright deflation.
In short, the 'recovery' is a flop.

"Readers are urged to focus on the hilarity of the scene," it is funny in the sense that for 40 years a few people have been telling others that the form of capitalism we practice is not sustainable and have been called doom and gloomers. Now that the chickens have come home to roost a few people are still warning of the pending collapse of the great capitalist growth fantasy and still people are talking about the great recovery soon to happen. funny.
like .99 cents is so much lower than $1.00. Pathetic
You cannot transfer wealth. Wealth is not a thing. It is an activity comprising physical components such as buildings, infrastructure, machines, and supplies; a system of manufacturing that takes inputs and has outputs, a set of procedures that employ the components to run the system; and educated, trained, and experienced people that carry out these procedures. If you try to confiscate this wealth and give it to others who know nothing about how it works they inevitably will destroy that wealth. Ergo. The term transfer of wealth actually means destruction of wealth.
excellent analysis.
The free market should be allowed to work
then the prudent and industrious can take over the imprudents assets and progress
can begin again.
I hope justice can prevail at some point
Sterling Too: Interesting take on the concept to wealth.
"The term transfer of wealth actually means destruction of wealth." Does transfer of wealth include the stealing of wealth? This seems to be what happened when the banks pulled off the biggest heist in the history civilization.
like .99 cents is so much lower than $1.00. Pathetic.
One conundrum which hasn't yet been broached by any of our great leaders is just how we are going to rebuild the wealth given that a lot of was created on the backs of people who might not be keen on letting 'western' corporations back in: e.g. Asians, coupled with the technological revolution which has wiped out many jobs and processes on which the wealth was also made… or perhaps we all become web-designers and data-miners?
What I would give to come across Tony B Liar, the man who's reign spans the worst of the recent deregulation which everybody else had little choice but to compete against by also deregulating. Short-term profit by a short-sighted PM who wasn't working for his nations benefit.
If we can solve the economic downturn then we can solve the economic upturn. All economic activities will be under due control. Up and down, business cycle, boom-and-bust will be unfamiliar.
I believe what has to happen then it has to happen. Not even the almighty one can prevent it.
@99 Cent Nation.
The "form" of capitalism that you claim to have failed is precisely that–a "form," more precisely "a deviation form."
Statist economist-kings seek to take control of the free market and credit themselves for its successes, when in fact they done nothing but begin its forced decline.
When the market they have taken over finally, and inevitably, fails, the same statists then act like spectators and bemoan the failure of the "free" market.
They then get even more power to take over whatever it left, and the cycle continues.
A. Smith: Yep, there are those that just love the rat race and will do anything to keep the fantasy going. Perhaps it is the only "form" of reality they can imagine or will tolerate.
Wealth can be "stored", v.g., paper money, gold, silver, oil, etc. Ergo, it CAN be transfered without necessary destruction; in fact, sometimes the transfer INCREASES that wealth (ask any retailer, who buys in bulk and sells to Joe Doe by twice that price).
JMR that isn't a transfer of wealth when a retailer buys in bulk and sells to consumers. They are adding value through a change in location and division of that bulk order. They allow the consumer to travel to a store near them to purchase one item instead of having to go to the point of manufacture and purchase 10,000 units. That is a very valuable service to consumers, which is reflected in the prices they pay.
Central control over an economy is simply unsustainable. The free market works the best by allocating resources in the most efficient manner through the use of prices as signaling mechanisms. Central planning simply cannot compete with that efficiency. No matter how much people hope it can.
It may sound great to an uneducated ear that the government needs to come in and "control" things, but such action always produces unintended consequences that always hurt society in the long run.
These boom and bust cycles would not last nearly as long if the government would just stay out of it and let the system weed out the malinvestments and transfer capital to more productive industries.
Every stimulus just prolongs the eventual recovery by funneling more money into unsustainable endeavors, just like counting people doesn't actually add any value or solve a real problem for an individual.

"Don't get me wrong, I enjoy random death as much as the next guy," John Scalzi told me on the phone. "But does that death solve a problem in your story? Is the writer killing a character because it's easy, or because it's necessary?"
That's the question at the heart of Scalzi's new novel, Redshirts, which comes out next week. I've had a chance to read the book (twice, actually), and was a little surprised at how moving the novel was. The premise is pretty simple. Several new crew members of the starship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union, think their careers are made. After all, they're on the flagship with a brave Captain, a brilliant alien scientist in second command, and a Russian astrogator who, for some reason, goes along on every mission.
Soon, though, our new crew members start to notice that life on the Intrepid is a bit odd. For one thing, the rest of the crew seems to run out for coffee when it's time for away missions. And the number of casualties on those missions seems to be awfully high, statistically speaking. Also, there seems to be a strange device on the ship capable of doing things that aren't scientifically possible – but only when things are desperate.
As the weeks pass, the crew begins to learn the reasons behind the strange goings-on aboard the Intrepid. Then they come up with a plan to prevent themselves and their fellows from meeting ignominious ends at the hands of toxic atmospheres, pulse gun vaporizations, shuttle door malfunctions, or ice sharks.
I don't want to go further with any spoilers, but suffice to say that it goes very, very deep into some metacontextual layers. But what I like the most about the book is that what could have been an easy parody or satire is actually, in its own right, a very good story. With a bleeding, beating heart at the middle of it. Still, if you don't like stories that break the fourth, fifth, or possibly even sixth wall, this is probably not the book for you.
"I expect to see responses across the board," Scalzi told me. "Some people will dismiss this as 'stunt writing', but I think its fun to pick apart the things that everyone knows or think that they know and re-examine them."
The novel also has a rather unusual structure. After the novel's plot properly ends, there are three codas, which you could see as epilogues or even short stories set in the same universe. Combined they make, in Scalzi's words, a "complete experience."
"But you don't have to read the codas if you don't want to," he added.
Ignore that, though, and read the codas. Especially coda three. Remember how I said that there's a beating, bleeding heart at the center of Redshirts? Coda three completes that part of the story and, in my opinion, ties the big themes of the book and codas together. Ultimately, what Scalzi has done in Redshirts is to make us pay attention to the characters that usually only occupy the periphery of our vision, and forces us to come to grips with the fact that even their meaningless deaths matter. Really and truly. And in the final coda of Redshirts, we come full circle to see how their lives intersect with our own.
You don't have to be a hardcore sci-fi fan to enjoy Redshirts, though there are plenty of Easter Eggs for those who are. And the beauty of the book is that it works on multiple levels. If you're looking for a breezy, fun read for the beach, this is your book. If you want to go down a level and read it as a surreal meditation on character and genre like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, this is your book. If you're looking for a deeper interplay about the intersections between story and our lives, well, this is your book, too.
Suffice to say, I highly recommend it.

Gyo Obata's Abbey Church: A Modernist Masterpiece in West St. Louis County
|The Interior of the Abbey Church, showing its unique and revolutionary design.
Obata replaces traditional walls with large, fiberglass windows framed by huge, concrete arches that leap up into the air. On top of the first row of parabolic archways, he places yet another gallery of windows that seem to float effortlessly above the first. Crowning the top of the church is a belfry. While the viewer knows, logically, that the building is made from tons of concrete, Obata creates the illusion of cascading white waterfalls that seem to gush out of a giant fountain.
The oculus at the apex of the interior.
The visual beauty of the church continues once inside. Amazingly, the interior is free from obstructing supports; visitors realize the great parabolic dome of the church supports itself through hidden steel structures concealed in the white concrete. In this great, unencumbered space, a scarcity of furnishings allows the form of the church to shine. The large windows, so prominent on the exterior, bring in just enough light to emphasize the simplicity of the interior. The church works so beautifully because of the versatility of its materials: Thousands of tons of concrete and steel combine to create a seemingly weightless structure.
The delicate stained glass screens of the interior.
The Abbey Church foreshadowed a stunning career for Obata, who, along with George Hellmuth and George Kassabaum, founded HOK, the largest architectural firm in the world with 1,800 employees. HOK defined the skyline of St. Louis in the 20th century, designing most of downtown's tallest office buildings, including the Metropolitan Square Building, home to the firm's offices. As Obata's career continues on, the Abbey Church remains as one of the great moments in Modernism anywhere in the world.

I just rec'd my order from Hobby Lobby and was thrilled with the pages and album. Having been a faithful client of Creative Memories for 17+ years I was devastated when they went out of business and have searched high and low for a comparable quality item. I can now relax and continue scrap-booking for my grandchildren~

I was a loyal CM customer, who is extremely disappointed they are not offering the plain 12 x 12 pages. Like many scrappers, I don't want pre-decorated pages. I am so glad to have discovered Hobby Lobby's pages, and am sure you will find many more former CM customers! these pages seem identical to what CM offered. Please keep offering them! If you had albums in more colors, I would also buy them - please consider expanding your selection. Thank you!

I have been using these pages for about 8 years in my CM strap hinge albums. I have about 20 albums FULL to the brim of them and have not yet had a page fail. I can not say enough good about them. They are a tad bit too wide, but I just center the paper when wallpapering and it isn't really noticeable. PLEASE don't stop making these HL!!! You are the only source now that CM isn't offering them. You do need to STOCK more in the stores though! Always out! I would buy more if they were available.
