Product Details
Featuring: Aliya; Blu; Kemizt; Reach; Sowlie
Producer: Dela
SummaryIt's tricky coming up with a sophomore album. One could say it's about taking the essence of your past work and bringing it to another level, without doing the same thing twice. With that in mind, Paris/Montreal based producer Dela teams up with Drink Water Music to deliver Translation Lost, the follow up to 2009's Changes Of Atmosphere.
It started as a simple beat tape. Freshly installed in Montreal, where he was planning to put music on the side for a little while, it only took a couple weeks before Dela felt the need to put together a small setup (a MPC 1000, a turntable and computer speakers) and went back to creating. Beats quickly accumulated. Most were used for side projects that have yet to be released. Some had a special feel : Dela decided to put them together to create what would become Translation Lost.
Most of the album was composed in Montreal in 2009 and 2010. The sonics of the album were shaped by the vinyls Dela would come across, constantly visiting record stores throughout the city. Jazz, Funk, Prog, Quebec music being the styles he sampled the most. His love for melodies and beautiful chord changes has remained intact, but an accent is made on the drums, probably the most important instrument in Hip-Hop music.
While Changes Of Atmosphere had guests on every track (Talib Kweli, Les Nubians, Large Professor, Elzhi to name a few), the new album is half instrumental. Reach, a Kansas City based MC who appears on most Dela's projects, opens the record with Go On, an ode to the working class. Californian super MC Blu, who has been a regular guest on Dela's mixtapes & album as well, blesses us with Lucy's&LooseLeafs and WhatUWanna. Sowlie, a young talent from France, lends her wordless vocals to the laidback Chunky Monkeying while Long Island born & raised MC Kemizt, who's currently working on a whole project with Dela, speaks his piece on I Will.
But the main theme of the album is declared by Aliya, a friend of Dela who also had a little cameo on Changes Of Atmosphere. Her introduction sets the tone : Translation Lost is about love stories gone wrong. It's about that very moment in a relationship when two people can't understand each other anymore. Even though Translation Lost is not to be called a concept album, the theme is indeed omnipresent and defines the mood of the whole record. Another huge inspiration is Louis Malle's movie Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud. A passionate cinephile, Dela does not hesitate to dig in his favorites movies for samples and ideas.
Melancholy, nostalgia, but also hope and aspiration, these are the feelings Translation Lost will inspire. Whether heartbroken or not, Translation Lost is the kind of record you'll love to play on rainy and cloudy days.

Apparently constantly getting more work than you can do and being expected to constantly pull Rabbits out of the Hat by making things work the way that the Execs want is Bullying.
Seems that what I considered as Normal IT Work is actually bullying of the poor Computer Tech.
Now if I can figure out who to sue I may be able to retire and not be in a position of being asked to do the impossible immediately ever again.
Seems that these Educators didn't consider people in IT when they framed their questions. :^0

Good OTA Tuner
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: Excellent tuner for OTA DTV, gets clear QAM cable with Fusion supplied software.
Cons: NOT compatible with Windows7 Media Center for clear QAM cable, Fusion software very sluggish, it freezes and locks up, slow to response. Tech support doesn't exist.
Other Thoughts: Good tuner for the price, compatibility with Win Vista/Win7 very questionable.

Don't Buy This Itemt
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: Did play TV channels
Cons: Sound was a big problem. I have a HDMI plug from the computer to the TV. This card could not navigate a additional audio device.
Other Thoughts: I spent ours messing with this card. Finally bought a Hauppauge card at BB and it fired up on the first try.

Great Reception
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: The XC5000 Silicon Tuner is very sensitive. I can receive channels that my other cards have problems with. (pcHDTV HD-5500) That is pretty much the reason that I bought this card.
Cons: This card has only 1 tuner, which seems kind of wasteful as there are other cards with 2 tuners. But I was limited to PCI slots (this card is PCI). There is a DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual express card, but it's PCIe
Other Thoughts: I use this card on my linux server & mythtv. It works fantastic. I cannot comment on it's windows software.

Best in field
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: I live in a very difficult reception area - close to the stations but behind 30 storey buildings. This card brings in every OTA station perfectly. (New York City)
Cons: The IR remote receiver was missing from the package. There is no response from Dvico or NewEgg. I run linux so I have no comment on the included software, but the drivers are in the kernel. The only addition is the firmware file.

good tuner
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: this tuner works well for cable qam, found over 125 channels. I tried Hauppage, Pinnacle, Kworld tuners, but this one is much better. good remote
Cons: manual was lacking details for setup and operation, but went to website to find help

too many nagging issues
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: Works reasonably well with included software--picks up quite a few stations on an amped antenna in difficult reception environment. Also worked with analog cable (again, when running on included software, FusionHDTV). Image quality is good.
Cons: I don't know whether it's a knock on the device or Media Center, but there is a big disparity in functionality between the included software and what Vista MC can do with it. FusionHDTV software can configure the card to work with OTA and analog cable. The Media Center only recognizes OTA tuner. It does not let me get any channels from cable. Further more, for OTA antenna, FusionHDTV can detect and actually display a lot of channels then MC. I don't understand why that is the case--it's the same hardware, same drivers. I'd want to use MC for everything, but now I have to switch between applications if I want to watch TV in order to get the max out of this device.
Other Thoughts: Separate issue is support in Mythbuntu. I originally bought this card for a Mythbuntu box after I looked around forums and saw other people have success with dual tuner version of the same card. No such luck for me. I followed instructions of other people who claimed this card was working on their Myth setups, but could not get anywhere. If you buy this card, expect to jump through some hoops if you wanna get it working on linux, if at all.

Good capture card
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: Just as describe on the box & website, QAM picture is good as the quality it is provide by the cable company. Turns off PC when recording is done. Turns PC on or off with Remote, You only can power the PC up with the remote if you used the remote to power it off otherwise it will not power back on. Remote functions as advertise. Part of the remote also glows in the dark & somewhat during the day.
Cons: Only 1 format encoded unless you use the converter proggy(not a big issue for me). Remote only plugs into the hardware card & the wire is way too short-4' I believe, would be nice if it was USB so I can option to use it as a stand alone on my other PC also, the remote could be bigger & buttons could be bigger & location of the main key function could be at a better & easier location, come on now I have a full grown man size hand not baby hands. Channel name/title can't be changed like Hauppauge, maybe hopefully they have an update that we can put our own name/title we want on that channel number & listing & manual fine tuning. Channel that you delete will not stay delete like the Spanish channel since I have no need for it. EPG can use a better GUI fill in field layout & option; like point & click listing to auto set record from Titan TV. One nice thing is I would be able to print out cable listing would be nice also. A few other option would be nice but I will have to address it to
Other Thoughts: At first I was hesitant at buying this brand but after review in forums & review finding out that Asus & Fushion is both from Korea so it was a no win win situation & I have to order it only since no local store carries them. Both review/complaint was about the same also. I option this brand only because of the advertisement of the remote can be used with other PROGRAMS, this was the biggest seller for me so I option this brand & not regretting it at all. I used this for about 2 weeks now. I would write more but the card does what the box says so there is no need for me to say more. Except for the Con that I need address, this is an excellent card. Just wish I could have bought the dual recorder version but I don't have an express slot. My built box MB GF7050VT_Mv1A, CPU E2200 4gb ram - card then moved to Dell GX270 2.4ghz 1gb mb mini tower.

Great card!
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros: 1} small size means it should fit next to large video cards.
Cons: You cable company and the content providers. This is not a knock on the card, but many cable channels are now encrypted so you and I can't see them without renting a device from cable company and can't record them either. There are now some solutions coming available, but a home theater pc, for all of its potential has been severely sabotaged by the content providers and where a $50 card should be all it takes for cable only, over the air is included because that is only signal that has not been really blocked in some way. This does diminish the value of all TV tuner cards and takes away our rights to fully enjoy technology. Our gripes should not be with these cards, but with those that have stripped down our right to use these cards to their fullest potential.
Other Thoughts: If you need help, the avsforum is a great place to go, simply scroll down to home theater computer discussion and topics from which cards to use for linux or xp or vista are well supported and there is some very good advice available.

I have been playing with computer for the last 10 years, yeah right.. I know them really well. But sometimes they play nasty games (or my logic plays up!!!). At times really nasty that it goes out of my hand, that's when someone from the community embraces my problem and guide me out of the hell to have the control back with me. I assume everybody has this kind of issues, so I would love to help everyone around me as well...
Like a 70 Kilogram sponge I am sucking in almost everything that I come across in programming world. Back then it all looked way too different as I came from Networking back ground, a lot of things are more complex (some times Codes makes you just STARE at it for hours on before the Eureka neurons fires up in the brain !!!).
I love fixing things, I admire innovation and aesthetics same way I love coding, it just takes you to the level when I feel proud of myself after hours of head breaks when that moment I crack through the dense darkness, come out with that flare of code :). I could always relate this to the same feeling I had when was a kid, I used swap little motors of my toy car with another one's and see it inches way from the remote control, felt so proud of myself.
Yeah, I think this gives an idea about the person I am technically (Excuse me if I was too emotional there..)
I like to share my knowledge and help people when they hit the wall. I would like to treat everyone equally doesn't matter if someone got years of experience or not. I take people as they are and never wants to have a prejudice on some one based on any racial/political/cultural aspects. I will always try to answer someone (with utmost respect) even if they asked me a very basic/stupid question in a polite manner. Wish I be treated in the same way by others :)
Thank you for taking your time to check my profile and read this.
Wish you all the best..

Currently I am designing a website and I am finding it VERY difficult to display the website perfect on ALL browsers.
Is there any rules, suggestions etc to follow?
closed as too broad by Pointy, ketan, greg-449, EdChum, vape May 10 at 8:33
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It is practically impossible to get a website to look exactly the same on all browsers and platforms. Number one reason is that fonts are rendered differently on Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc.
There is a new thought we follow: Websites do not have to look exactly the same on different browsers and platforms. You can take it to 96-98% of the way there very easily. The rest would take you an inordinate amount of effort for the potential gain.
We start development for Firefox. If we get that one right, the rest of the browsers are very close. IE is the real tricky one to get right most of the time. I recommend that you tell your client or yourselves that IE 6 is not really a requirement anymore.
Make sure you start off on the right foot by using a "reset" css stylesheet that puts all browser output on common ground. Check out: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/
Develop to standards, then add exceptions
Currently, the most popular mostly-compliant browser is Firefox, so developing to Firefox is a natural first step. Use the W3C's validators to make sure you're on track. Once your page is mostly done, verify that it still looks good in Safari and Chrome (also both highly-compliant browsers, so you shouldn't have too much trouble), then start fixing it for IE (both 6 and 7). And believe me, it will need fixed! Sites like QuirksMode can be a big help when it comes time to add exceptions.
Always use the HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE
This is probably going to be one of the more controversial points here, as XHTML has a lot of proponents. Unfortunately, it is impossible to serve XHTML files in a manner which is both IE-compatible and standards-compliant — IE won't recognize the XHTML MIME types, and it violates the standard to serve them as
Don't use CSS "hacks"
They can be very tempting sometimes, but hacks are based on the side-effects of browser bugs. Because of this, it can be difficult-to-impossible to predict how future browsers will react to them. Conditional comments, on the other hand, are an intentional feature of IE browsers and so are safe to use. In fact, they are an excellent way to keep your IE-specific (and often non-validating) CSS out of your valid stylesheets.
Don't create pixel-aligned layouts
Trying to get all browsers to line up, down to the pixel is an exercise in frustration (and, often, futility). Try to create layouts which still look okay when clobbered, as it's easier to fix a misalignment between, say, two left-hand borders than a left and a right which are on opposite sides of the page! Using a background image which has built-in borders should be a big warning flag!
Don't use absolute sizes for fonts
Not everyone uses the same size monitor as you do; instead of setting a footnote to
Don't rely on default values for CSS properties
You never know whether all browsers use the same default. YUI's "reset" stylesheet is a great place to start.
Check out Browsershots. It makes screenshots of your sites with various browsers, so you can check it visually. It's kind of slow but it worked for me.
Here is an answer I gave a while ago about perfecting websites in browsers (from here)
Actually, what you need to use when developing a web application are:
And what I mean is that you should test every step of your website on all 3 major Grade-A browsers...so if something doesn't work in the process, you will know exactly what caused the break.
If you don't check regularly with the browsers on how your page is turning out, it will be a lot harder to fix problems later on.
A lot of developer like to start testing with FireFox and go to IE7. This way they have both most popular browser.
I like to start with IE7 than go to FireFox because Firefox has this FireBug that let me see what's wrong and do the correction. But I have to say that I am changing slowly to test with FireFox fist since it does respect more all rules. (By the way, FireBug is available in Javascript for IE so it's great).
Of course, you should see who is your public. If it's internal used by the company and they only use IE... the choice is simple. If it's more for developer, you will have more user that will use FireFox... you might want to test first depending of your audience.
I would suggest identifying your target audience, then identify which browser they use. Once you have done this, push for perfection in that browser. Now, you can do some work around and make it look good for the other browsers.
Targeting for perfection in all browsers today is similar to asking for world peace.
Another approach you can take is use a Javascript framework like jQuery to ease the pain.
Don't try to make every browser display it pixel-perfect the same as the others... only you will know! Just try to make it look good on every browser.
I have discovered that using more CSS instead of tables makes it easier to get it the same on all the browsers. It's still a bit tricky, but table layout logics are worse. Use tables sparingly.
Oh, and getting things "stretchy" is always a problem. Fixed widths/heights are way easier.
Use strict doctype.
If you are using ASP.NET then you should add/change this is your web.config.
You should also check out the css compliant adapters. http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/
I have spent hours to make my website display the same across all the browsers and this seems to work. One last suggestion. Check often: don't do too much before you check to ensure all browser display it the same.
Develop for Firefox. Then apply IE-specific fixes. Hopefully, it'll render OK in Chrome and Safari.
The reason is that there are fixes available to make IE work 'properly' but not many to make Firefox behave badly.
Oh, and buy a copy of Transcending CSS.
My approach is to code for firefox, opera, and the other non Microsoft browsers. Once it works in those, i patch up the IE functionality in a separate stylesheet/js file.
Also i usually use a JS library and a CSS framework. 9 times out of 10 i use Jquery and YUI Grids.
Use a JS library, such as ExtJS. This abstracts away the browser-specific aspects of styling.
Is it wrong that it looks different in different browers, as long as it is legible and clean?
Use CSSViewer Extension for firefox, it could help to see some fixes you can do to the code very user-friendly. Use CSS display:block or display:inline-block properties, they are sooo usefull. Margin, padding, height and width will be your friends, sometimes you need to specify these values to see the same thing on many browsers. For fonts i would recommend you to read yahoo yui fonts css stuff.
Well it works for me and help me save tons of time. Because on professional market, time means money.
Using strict doctype, valid xhtml/html and valid CSS are good starting points. Also, make sure you use reset/undo.css.
In spite of all these, there would be catches but very few though
IE7 is no longer a requirement either. It is now a liability with its troubling security. IE8 should support most of what the other browsers do, and the bits it doesn't, don't matter. The experience will be degraded, but if you are using IE in the first place, you have no taste anyway.

Brooklyn NetsSalary: $19.75 millionWins produced: 1.5Looking to load up on a couple of big names for their big move, the Nets traded for Johnson and marketed him with Deron Williams as "Brooklyn's Backcourt." The team is having a solid year, but Johnson's scoring average (16.4 a game) is his lowest since 2004, as he shoots just 42.3%. And he doesn't rebound or pass much.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Tuesday lifted the University of Southern Mississippi's probation.
The university was placed on a one-year probation last December because of poor assessment of distance learning programs. Changes were made, but USM still maintained its full accreditation.
"The efforts of the faculty, I think, speak highly of the quality of the faculty here at USM and for their dedication to their students and to the institution, of course," said Dr. William Powell, President of the Faculty Senate.
"For students it means what's always been true. Our degree has always been accredited. This is a reassurance of the fact that their degrees were something in the real world. In fact, it's worth more than most any other degree because we have an accreditation from SACS that means a lot. We're thankful for the hard work of the administration to make sure that our degrees continue to hold value in the marketplace," said SGA President Jonathan Krebs.
Officials say Southern Miss has continued to work on its next regularly scheduled 10-year accreditation assessment. A campus visit is set for April 2006.

Well, with the excellent second season of Banshee now complete, I can offer a review with no spoilers whatsoever, because you presumably saw what I'll be talking about. Or, if you need to see it, you should, and you'll be glad you did.
Among the most effective parts of the Season 2 finale -
But Banshee was not messed up at all this season, and indeed continued as one the freshest, most outrageous shows on television. I'm looking forward to more of the same next season.

I found this news about Pirate's Booty on XBIZ.com, it's the full-length fantasy based gay CGI movie produced by Adult Source Media. Although I don't think it's the "first" full-length gay CGI movie as they claimed. Stonewall & Riot? The House of Morecock?
However, I'm waiting for gay porn answer to the big budget pirate-epic straight porn Pirates series. Finally, we will get some pirate-theme gay porn. It's nice to watch something else other than repeated locker room, prison, pool side, military-theme gay porn once in awhile, right?
Pirate's Booty tells the story of pirate captain Jack Swallows as he and his crew set sail on harsh seas — and encounter "rough, dirty, hardcore sex" along the way, including a possessed spirit who has sex with everyone on the ship.
+ Brian O'Brien, the blogger at Fleshbot, also discussed this CGI gay porn. Check out his blog posts; CGI Threatens to Give Us All Body Image Issues, Boners and Ask The Internet For Animated Gay Porn Movies, And It Shall Provide.

When Michael arrives to break into the vault, he closes KITT's door. However, when he runs out after stealing the canister, the door is open.
This episode clarifies KITT's ownership status once and for all as belonging to FLAG. However, in the pilot, KITT's registration form was made out to Michael Knight, and Devon let him take the car without any preconditions. In other prior episodes Michael often referred to KITT as "his" car. After this episode, KITT starts referring to himself as Foundation property as a way to disagree with what Michael asks him to do.
The La Salle storyline supposedly takes place in New Orleans, but Michael is able to quickly relocate back and forth between La Salle's New Orleans compound and the FLAG mansion, which is supposedly in California.
When Linda makes a move to drug Michael's beer, the long shot shows the mug's handle to the left, but in the close-up it has shifted to the right.
When Charles tests KITT's ski mode, skid marks are visible on the road from practice runs of the stunt.
After Michael pulls off the heist of the gas, LaSalle instructs him to "continue on I-10," though the background visible through KITT's windows is that of a residential area, not an interstate highway.
Michael: So, are we partners again?
KITT: Butch and Sundance!
Devon: Michael, the Foundation cannot operate above the law.
Michael: I'm no longer working for the Foundation, remember? I'm on suspension!
Michael: (to Linda) What is it with you, anyway? Do you have contempt for everybody, or am I just special?
Linda: I guess if you go looking for saviors, you're going to see one whether he's there or not.
Michael: We're not outlaws.
KITT: What would you call us--models of civic responsibility?

17 Weird Body Quirks Slideshow
Check out these 17 weird body quirks and their causes.
- Black hairy tongue

- Brain freeze
- Black hairy tongue
- Hiccups
Check out these 17 weird body quirks and their causes.
Hiccups are sudden, involuntary contractions (spasms) of the diaphragm muscle. When the muscle spasms, the vocal cords snap shut, producing the hiccup sound.
Hiccups are often rhythmic. They are usually just a temporary minor annoyance, but prolonged hiccups may signal a major medical problem. The longest recorded hiccup attack is six decades!
Women and men tend to get hiccups equally as often, but hiccups that last more than 48 hours are more common in men. Hiccups can even occur in a fetus while still in utero. Continue Reading

Resolved Question:
I have been sick now for over three weeks. The doctor thought I had sinus infection and flu..she gave me ammocillin 500 and after I finished the meds. in about three days I got sick again. She put me on ammocillin 875 and I still was sick.. after about another on this past Friday, I called her and told her I was not getting better, but worse. She saw me an examined me again and said Oh! you have pneumonia! She sent me for an x-ray and put me on meds for pneumonia. My questions is this.. I have been sick now over a month and I think I have had pneumonia all alone ..I remember telling the doctor about my chest and back hurting and the weezing sounds in my breathing ...
Now, I want to know about how long will it take me to get over the pneumonial and if there are any special instrustion that I should have.
Thank You very much ! Faye

Hi there Faye and thank you for the question. I am a Registered Nurse and will be happy to help you today. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well...and have been feeling well for quite some time! You could have started out with a form of pneumonia but sometimes what happens is a person gets the flu and then it turns into Pneumonia. Flu can make your back and chest hurt almost like Pneumonia sometimes, so it's hard to tell which came first really. But - you could be right. Yours may have started out as Pneumonia and just progressively gotten worse.
One of the best things you can do for Pneumonia is stay hydrated. The phlegm/fluid that is in the lungs can be more easily coughed up if you are well hydrated. Also, the more hydrated you are, the less 'thick' those secretions are in your lungs. Also, make sure you take ALL of your antibiotics and if you are not feeling much much better in a few more days, make sure you call your Dr. Sometimes these cases can turn ugly and send you the hospital, so let's try to avoid that. Also, there is some proof that taking expectorants like Mucinex is helpful, but some say it does no good. I personally, feel as though it does work. Also, don't suppress your cough. If you need to cough, the cough and make it count. One last thing, make sure you are taking deep breaths and moving around as much as possible to help prevent the pneumonia from getting worse.
Make sure you do call your Dr if you are not feeling better in the next few days or if you develop new symptoms.
Reply back if more info is needed.

Secrets of Success
30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 9
Monday, September 10, 2012
Q. How old are you and do you think your thoughts about weight loss, fitness, and wellness have changed over time?
A. I am 41. Yes, my thoughts about weight loss, fitness, and wellness have changed over time.
In my younger years, I didn't give any of these topics much thought at all. Up until my 30's, I thought that weight loss was for those poor people who either obviously ate too much, were lazy, and/or had some sorts of emotional or glandular problems. Thank God that wasn't me. I watched my Mom take 'before' pictures of herself, exercise along with the TV, and go on all kinds of whacky diets in attempts to lose weight...never thinking, "gee - genetics may dictate that I should pay attention here."
Fitness? Whatever. That kind of stuff was for athletic people - "jocks" - a breed with whom I could not relate. Run a mile? Why? Sweating didn't really seem like a very fulfilling past time to me. I like to sing, make music, perform in plays, write, and other intellectual pursuits.
I didn't really give 'wellness' much thought. I had never had any health issues, and didn't anticipate having any, so didn't really give wellness much thought.
All of the sudden, at age 30, however, my body started to change in ways that I found quite unpleasant. Suddenly, I was the one in need of Weight Watchers, diet books, fat free this and that. Whoops. Fitness and wellness still were not things that I though much about until I got pregnant and started reading about all the potential problems that could come with pregnancy in the absence of good nutrition and exercise. I paid attention, and made some attempts at being fit and well for the sake of my precious babies. Between pregnancies, I made attempts to lose weight with all of the popular fad diets and exercise programs of the day - cabbage soup diet, some religious weight loss program through my church, Atkins, Jane Fonda, Cher, and Susan Powter videos, none of it really 'sticking' because those kinds of things just aren't designed to be the "be all/end all" that I wanted them to be.
I wanted to lose this extra weight that I had gained, and go on with my life.
Now, at 41, I'm finally starting to figure out that I'm not going to have much of a life if I don't make good nutrition, fitness and the pursuit of wellness a regular part of it. And, I have a strong desire to teach my children these concepts. My 7 year old daughter is very thin. Already, she is starting down the superficial bloated self-image of "I'm thin, so I'm good." She does very well in school so far, but no so much in gym class. I'd like her to understand that thin does not = well.
While I'm working first and foremost on learning and changing my own life toward being fit and living a healthy lifestyle, I'm also making attempts to pass along what I learn to my children as best I can.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 355,948, filed Mar. 8, 1982, now abandoned.
The present invention refers to an arrangement in spring suspension systems, particularly for vehicles, for allowing movements with a plurality of or all degrees of freedom between two bodies and with a frequency range of from as low as about 1 Hz and up to 5000 Hz and more, said arrangement comprising at least one spring member formed with a rigid cylindrical outer surface and operative axially and mounted between said pair of bodies.
The present inventor's prior U.S. Pat. No. 4,265,328, issued May 5, 1981, discloses a spring system or suspension primarily adapted for a driver's compartment in heavy contractor vehicles and similar ones with unsprung wheel suspensions wherein the driver's compartment is subject to vibrations. For enabling accommodation of all vibration frequencies down to as low as about 1 Hz, a particular arrangement of spring means has been suggested wherein the spring means are equally distributed around the periphery of said driver's compartment such that their axes of action form an acute angle to the vertical. The practical embodiment of said invention has primarily utilized helically coiled pressure springs as spring means but in practice it has turned out that in some applications certain difficulties still are encountered. Thus, the spring becomes too long and transversely non-stable, should the same be capable of acting in the range below 2 Hz, i.e. closely adjacent the lower limit of 1 Hz. Extensive calculation work also is required in this case, and furthermore as far as helically coiled pressure springs are concerned, the selection of the spring wire dimensions and coiling parameters becomes extremely critical.
During further development work according to the basic concept of the above-identified patent it has been found that another kind of spring means actually is more suited for application within the very lowest limit of the vibration range, i.e. 1 Hz, namely hydropneumatic springs of the basic type which has been used in some modern passenger cars. An essential draw back of such hydropneumatic springs is, however, their incapability of accommodating higher frequencies without the necessity of increasing the gas pressure in the springs to extremely high values. Therefore, the present invention is based on considerations of how to effectively combine such a hydropneumatic spring with some other kind of spring means which can accommodate the higher frequencies and thus constitute a required complement and allow movements between two bodies while maintaining a plurality or all degrees of freedom of the movements therebetween. It has now turned out that this is possible to achieve in a surprisingly simple and satisfying manner which thus constitutes the very heart of the present invention.
The features essentially distinguishing the present invention are that the spring member is connected with one of said bodies by means of a supplemental elastomeric spring means which is attached to said one body, said supplemental spring means surrounding the cylindrical outer surface of the spring member so as to allow restricted universal movements of said spring member from a center position against a predetermined and not unessential oppositional force, while the spring member is connected with the other of said bodies by a pivot.
The supplemental spring means according to the invention constitutes a very advantageous complement to the spring member which not only provide for movements of all degrees of freedom but also forms a stroke end damper for axial movements of the spring member. In its entirety, the spring suspension system is compact, simple and reliable, which is essential in most applications.
By way of example, the invention will be further disclosed below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view and
FIG. 2 an end view of the arrangement according to the invention as applied to a resiliently supported driver's compartment of a contractor vehicle,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial view, partly sectioned, of one on the spring members of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, and
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view and
FIG. 5 an end view of the arrangement according to the invention as applied to the resilient suspension of a seat.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings the arrangement according to the invention is illustrated as applied to a spring system for supension of a driver's compartment 1 at the front end of a heavy-duty transport vehicle having a nonresilient wheel suspension for front wheels 2 and a frame portion 3 protruding forwardly thereof. As illustrated, the driver's compartment 1 is suspended from a surrounding frame-like protecting cage 4 by means of spring members 5 which are spaced around the periphery of the compartment, and within the compartment is a driver's seat 1'.
The shape and arrangement of the spring members 5 is illustrated more closely in the enlarged partial view thereof in FIG. 3. In this case, the spring member consists of a hydropneumatic spring 5 known per se and having a cylindrical body 6 with a piston 7 slidably mounted therein and having a piston rod 8 protruding from one end of the cylinder 6. At the opposite end of said cylinder 6 is a pressure chamber 9 in which is confined a volume of hydraulic liquid put under pressure from a gas cushion 10, separated from the liquid by means of a membrane 11. At its free end, the piston rod 8 is connected to one of the two bodies, between which the spring system is adapted to operate, in the present case namely a bracket 12 on the driver's compartment 1. The connection between the free end of the piston rod 8 and the bracket 12 is formed as an articulation 13 of suitable kind, in the present case a pivot. In many applications, however, the articulation 13 might be made as an universal joint.
The hydropneumatic spring 5 is connected to the other of the two bodies, namely the protecting cage 4, by means of a bushing-like elastomeric means 14 which surrounds the outer surface of the cylinder 6 of the hydropneumatic spring 5 and is supported from a sleeve-like bracket 15, secured to the cage 4. Preferably the elastomeric means 14 is made of rubber of a predetermined hardness and/or spring coefficient selected to the actual application case and constitutes as such a commercially available standardized component. For providing an easy adjustment of the vertical level of the hydropneumatic spring 5 in the elastomeric means 14 and hence the bracket 15 for adjustment of the lever length 1 between the bracket 15 and the articulation 13 and thus the spring characteristic of the whole suspension system it is suitable that the elastomeric means 14 is moveable along the outer surface of the cylinder 6 and in that between a collar 16 at the piston rod end thereof and the elastomer means 14 can be mounted one or more detachable spacing means 17 if desired, said spacing means 17 being made as split clamps. In the drawings it has thus been illustrated one such spacing means 17 mounted above the elastomeric means 14, while two similar spacing means 17 have been used for filling up the rest of the exposed portion of the cylinder 6 between the lower surface of the elastomeric means 14 and a collar 18 at the end of the cylinder 6, where the pressure chamber 9 is located so that the cylinder 6 also is prevented from being slid upwardly in the elastomeric means 14.
The hydropneumatic spring 5 illustrated in the drawings is provided with suitable means for also obtaining a shock-absorbing action which is suitable in the illustrated embodiment. The elastomeric means 14, to the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of which are rigidly secured metal sleeves 19, 20 as known per se by vulcanization, now allows obtaining movements of all degrees of freedom of the resiliently supported body of the system, i.e. the driver's compartment 1. At the same time, it also effectively serves as a stroke end damper downwardly in vertical direction, simultaneously with the elastomeric material also making the total frequency of the spring suspension system being lower than of the hydropneumatic spring solely. Hence it is obtained a very effective and simple solution to the problem of resiliently supporting various parts, particularly in connection with vehicles of various kinds and most particularly driver's compartments of heavy-duty contractor vehicles, forest machines etc. The invention is particularly advantageous as far as the mounting conditions and adaptation abilities to various driving conditions and driver's compartment weights are concerned. A simple adaptation might namely be achieved by changing the gas pressure of the hydropneumatic spring 5 as known perSe. Thus the same components easily can be brought to suit all compartments and the only adjustment necessary to be made thus is the oil pressure of the spring 5 for obtaining a sufficient characteristic of the spring suspension system.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing the compartment 1 has been illustrated suspended by four hydropneumatic springs 5 spaced around the periphery of the compartment, namely one at each corner of the compartment 1. Approximately, the springs 5 are arranged at the middle of the height of the compartment 1, namely such that the connection between the spring member 5 and the compartment 1, i.e. the articulation 13, lies at a predetermined height above the center of gravity of the compartment with the driver seated therein. All the connection points or articulations 13 ought to be located in a common plane. Since the hydropneumatic spring as to its operation is a pressure spring, the connection between the spring member 5 and the vehicle frame 3 under the intermediation of the cage 4, i.e. the bracket 15, is located vertically below the articulation 13 such that the compartment 1 by its own weight always biases the spring members 5.
Various detail designs and locations of the spring suspension units are possible, however, within the scope of the invention. When there is lack of space, the spring member 5 can be mounted with its mountings turned upside down, i.e. such that the bracket 15 supporting the elastomeric means 14 which surrounds the cylinder 6 of the hydropneumatic spring 5, is attached to the driver's compartment 1, while the piston rod with its free end is articulated to the cage 4. Furthermore, instead of four spring members 5, one at each corner of the compartment 1, three spring members 5 can be used in a suitable location, i.e. one at the middle of the rear wall of the compartment and one at each side of the compartment, such that the spring means 5, as seen in a horizontal view, form the corner of an isosceles triangle. However, it is also possible to have only two spring members 5, one at each side of the compartment and with an imaginary connection line between the spring means passing through the center of gravity of the compartment, as seen in a plan view. Both the last-mentioned alternative number of spring members might be suitable to utilize in particular cases, preferably if they have asymmetric shape.
Also when a driver's compartment or similar space cannot be mounted resilient as such in its entirety, the same conditions of movement and damping requirements in all essentials still are valid to the driver's seat as such and in such case it is also possible to apply the present invention only to a driver's seat as will be further described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawings.
In said figures it is illustrated a seat 22 which through a supporting framework 23, which also forms arm rests, is supported from a base 24 under the intermediation of four spring members 5 of the same kind as illustrated in connection with the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3 although at a correspondingly reduced size and arranged one at each corner of the seat. More closely, said spring members are hydropneumatic springs 5 which at the free end of the associated piston rod are hingedly connected at 13 to the framework 23. Through a surrounding elastomeric means or body 14 the cylinder 6 of the spring member 5 in its turn is connected with a supporting frame 25 standing on the base 24. The elastomeric means 14 is of the same bushing-like kind as in the embodiment previously described and in a similar manner it is secured to a bracket or attachment in the supporting frame 25. By means of a suitably selected lever length 1 of the distance between the particulated mounting 13 of the piston rod in the frame work 23 and the attachment of the cylinder 6 in the supporting frame 25 and the height h of the articulation 13 above the center of gravity TP all requirements as to desired spring movements easily can be met. In the normal case the spring members 5 might not need to be made with a damping action. Also as far as this embodiment in connection with a resilient suspension of a chair or seat is concerned the same possibilities as to varying embodiments are applicable as in the embodiment already disclosed above.
Owing to the fact that the center of gravity TP of the seat always is located at a selected predetermined distance h below the articulated joint 13 of the spring member 5, the seat of course will be self-stabilizing but if desired further damping means 26 can be mounted between the supporting frame 25 and the seat framework 23 as illustrated in the drawings.
In the afore-mentioned description it has been stated in connection with both embodiments that the spring member 5 is a hydropneumatic spring of commonly known type and having an essentially cylindrical outer surface. It is, however, also possible to use within the scope of the invention other spring means having essentially the same cylindrical outer surface, such as a helically coiled pressure spring enclosed by a suitable guiding cylindric cover. Also other modifications and adaptations of the parts of the arrangement according to the invention might be obvious to artisans.

Llanystumdwy is a small village in Eifionydd on the edge of the Llyn Peninsula in north Wales. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty where stunning coastal and mountain views are forever present. The village, on the banks ofn Afon Dwyfor, is located on the A497 between the towns of Criccieth (to the east) and Pwllheli (to the west).
It is most notable as the village where David Lloyd George, one of the better known British Prime Ministers lived as a boy until he was 16, and where he picked up his political nous and hatred for the land-owning aristocracy from his laypreacher uncle. His grave is located in woodland on the outskirts of the village, designed by architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis of Portmeirion fame. Indeed, Sir Clough Williams–Ellis' architectural inflence is to be seen throughout the village (Capel Moriah Chapel, the Museum gates and the Library window at Ty Newydd). Above Lloyd George's grave is a poem by Lloyd George's nephew Dr William George, a former Archdruid of Wales. The museum of Lloyd George memorabilia is in the centre of the village. His last home, Ty Newydd is The National Writers' Centre for Wales.
More about the village >
Lloyd George's boyhood home and his riverside grave
The village of stone houses is largely an architectural conservation area that has several listed buildings, including Lloyd George's residence, the local inn Tafarn y Plu (also known in English as "The Feathers"), and a house opposite believed to be as old as two hundred and seventy years. The village is located in Eifionydd, an agricultural, predominantly Welsh speaking area of the county of Gwynedd.

A New Credit Based Asset Allocation Model
Can you imagine successfully navigating the next decade ahead with a great system. We have arrived at a juncture that will require major efforts on the part of investors to reshape their investments. You see, we believe that major forces at work will be to the benefit of credits. We propose a structure that removes any debt based investments.
I am confronted daily by portfolio managers who ask me the same question. Where am I going to invest to create returns? They realize that an income stream is required. The client's goal might not be best answered with more debts. We think that a growing investment gap will slowly force rates higher. We believe that this predicament will last for more than a decade. See my interview with Jeff Macke!
We do not see the majority reaping the benefits of higher assets while in bonds. Stocks see regular massive outflows. You will see the same with bonds. In the future, a trickle will quickly become a tsunami of withdrawals. We observe that most have not captured the recent stock bounce. We do not believe that investors will return to equities en masse. The great rotation out of bonds will be mostly a professional affair.
Retail investors understood the workings of equities or so it seemed. They have given hope after a few trials. They appear, however, to be the new specialists of interest rates.
It is this new found reality that one must confront and engage. Many advisers might find the task at hand to be insurmountable. We don't. Who else do you know that uses behavioral economics tied with macro analysis successfully?
We thought hard about offering a solution. We often think in terms of liability-driven investing. The size of the bond market makes it a hard task.
We propose to use cash and foreign currencies to do the diversification on the bond side. We have come to believe that this time it is different.
The bond side will be a drag on your future returns. It will also, in our opinion, not be a proper diversification tool.
The stage is now set. Portfolio managers are listening and are responsive to our commodity story.
We have been quite happy to see observers call for the end of the gold and commodity bull market. It reflects on a lack of understanding of the size of this cycle.
More money will flow to tangibles. It is one area where there is little reluctance to participate. Advisers will show the way. They are now more inclined to do so.
Gold and other commodities will be part of our solution along with stocks. Historical evidence would suggest to view stocks as tangibles. As most of you realize, it is also a matter of size and practicality.
Lets test drive our sleek model shall we?
We suggested being bullish on the euro on the 10th of December in our newsletter. We use four ETF's to make comparisons. FXE +4.58% cash replacing debt TLT-6.12% HYG -0.02% LQD-2.27%.
We suggested being bullish on the growth side on the 20th December with two indices being CAF +19.10% and EWG +2.06%.
Our work aims to reflect the aphorism attributed to Einstein." Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
Happy driving!
P.S. We are waiting for the right signal to buy gold. For more read "Finally Why Gold Will Be Rigged Higher"
- advertisements -
it seems straight forward that if debt is no longer favored, funds will flow to something else. but what could possibly offer saftey and value something precious and tangible
"Behavioral Economics"...hmmm..
Economics is hardly a science, as evidenced by the wholly contradictory theories that abound. And now, the author knows how to blend in human behavior in some predictable way? I don't think so....
but, but, but I was told by one of my econ profs just last year that behavior economics is on the 'cutting edge' of economics and has 'exciting possibilties.' /s
Credit Based Asset Allocation Model ? is that what hookers are called now ?
if the bankers want the gold they crash the price,. then just hold out their hands and wait for it to rain.
Currencies for bonds? Yikes, that'll go over well with the aging retired risk averse Boomers. Not sure now how sleek this is or if your just throwing shit against the wall. The most elegant an enduring asset allocation I have found in my years in the business is the Permanent Portfolio, always long gold, never got caught fading the long treasury, some natural resource stocks for growth.
They'll probably cause an even bigger spike in fuel prices, which causes a negative feedback loop in the economy.
Also, asset allocation assumes that you can find investments that are not highly correlated, which 2008 proved to be a complete fallacy. Asset allocation utterly failed.

I'm aiming to do something like events. I suppose I have to script. I want for example: to animate a Groudon sprite in a fire red cartridge. I suppose I need some OW sprites and do a script. I want for the main character to aquire the red orb from somewhere and then go to this place I will build and when he get's close to Groudon for the red orb to flash red. After that the Groudon sprite will turn from grey to red. It will aproach the player, roar and a battle will start. How can I achieve things like this?

Faith, not fame or fortune, is key, prayer breakfast speaker says
A noted portfolio investment manager said Tuesday a person's relationship with the Lord matters more than money and fame.
"God cares far more about our character than He does about our career," Bob Doll, chief equity strategist and senior portfolio manager at Nuveen Asset Management, told guests Tuesday at the CBMC Metro Prayer Breakfast at the Cox Convention Center.
A crowd of about 1,350 gathered for the 30th annual breakfast in downtown Oklahoma City. The popular Christian event, hosted each year by the Christian Business Men's Connection, brings business people together with local, state and national elected leaders for prayer.
Several speakers made references to issues currently making headlines.
In his prayer for city leaders, Marty Hepp, with Cobb Engineering, said Oklahoma City is experiencing revitalization.
"Lord, I pray for our city leadership, for Mayor (Mick) Cornett and our city council as they lead our city through this time of growth," Hepp said.
U.S. Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, led the audience in prayer for national leaders.
"Help us as a nation — we are divided," he said, referring to bipartisan battles on Capitol Hill. "We find no rest. As our budget gets worse, our nation gets more anxious and the smallest of things brings us anxiety."
Langford also prayed for wisdom for the president and vice president and leadership for the U.S. Supreme Court, who on Tuesday heard arguments on same-sex marriage.
John Gillespie with Access Financial Group offered prayer for area business leaders and professionals. He asked the Lord to protect in particular those business leaders who have chosen to "stand firm for their faith and they have been thrust into the national spotlight."
The Christian founders of Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby are waging a court battle against a federal mandate requiring them to provide their employees with contraception and drugs the owners believe induce abortion.
Doll, 58, of Princeton, N.J., recommended participants search their hearts to discover their true motivations. He also urged them not to get so caught up in careers that they forget their creator.
"In 100 years, what does it matter what job I've done? My sense of worth comes not from a job, a career or my portfolio assets. A sense of worth comes from recognizing whose I am."

How much does it cost to move to Puerto Rico?
Thinking about moving to Puerto Rico? Let me just say now that I'm jealous! There's a lot to love about Puerto Rico, like the balmy weather, gorgeous sunsets, and beautiful beaches. So, how much does it cost to move to Puerto Rico?
If you need to compare Puerto Rico moving options now, start with a free moving quote from U-Pack. Keep reading to find detailed info about how much it costs to move to Puerto Rico.
Because no two moves are exactly alike, the cost of your move to Puerto Rico depends on how you answer the questions below:
First, answer these 5 questions:
- Where are you moving from in the U.S.?
- Where are you moving to in Puerto Rico?
- How much are you moving to Puerto Rico?
- When are you moving to Puerto Rico?
- Who's moving your belongings to Puerto Rico?
Location, location, location!
It's not just a phrase real estate agents live by anymore. The cost of your move to Puerto Rico will depend on where you're moving from in the U.S. and where you're moving to in Puerto Rico.
Move less. Pay less.
The great thing about moving to Puerto Rico with U-Pack is that you only pay for the space you use! If you use 17 ft. of the 28 ft. moving trailer, you only pay for 17 ft.! Likewise, if you reserve three ReloCubes, but only fill up two, you only pay for two! U-Pack customers love this flexibility. Use U-Pack's space estimator tool to determine how much space you'll use.
Perfect Timing.
Just like hotels and airlines, the moving industry revolves around peak and off-peak moving days and seasons. Moving to Puerto Rico in the summer might cost more than moving in the fall or winter. Similarly, loading your belongings over the weekend might cost more than loading on a weekday.
Go U-Pack!
You can move to Puerto Rico one of two ways: U-Pack® or full-service. The best part about U-Pack is that you get convenient moving options, fast transit times, secure transit, and low prices.
Secure moving. U-Pack prices are considerably lower than a traditional full-service mover because you do the loading and unloading of your belongings. Unlike full-service, U-Pack will never co-mingle or transfer your belongings.
Fast Transit. Once on the ship, it takes around 7-11 business days for your belongings to arrive in Puerto Rico. Traditional Puerto Rico moving companies could take 4-10 weeks.
Choices. There are two types of moving equipment to choose between with U-Pack—the 28 ft. moving trailer and the 6' x 7' x8' moving container called the ReloCube®. Both are great options for moving to Puerto Rico. Call a U-Pack moving specialist at 800-413-4799 to talk about which one is best for you.
The best way to find how much it costs to move to Puerto Rico is to get a free moving quote from U-Pack. Then, compare your quote to traditional full-service movers. It's likely you'll see U-Pack is the leader in low cost and quality service.

This sweater is really comfortable. I would've liked it even more if it had longer sleeves, but eh (they fit me perfectly well, but I like it when sleeves cover my hands). I still love it! It looks good with everything. Also, it arrived surprisingly fast. Would recommend!
Item Size: one-size
The sweater is much smaller than it looks in the picture. I bought it thinking it would be oversized but it fits like a normal sweater, which in this case isn't a bad thing. The material is thick and warm and not itchy at all. It's very comfortable and has a longer back than it does a front so it can be worn with leggings. Overall a great sweater for a great price!
This sweater is so soft, comfortable and warm. I wore it whit out washing cause I was worried of how it washes, very bad of me, but i couldn't wait I had to use it. I love it so much, but I just find odd of how the shoulder seams move towards the back as I am using it, it should do the opposite.
Is too small, i'm also disappointed

Customer Reviews
April 05, 2012Reviewer: Amy in New YorkI have tried other am/pm products and this is the best. It completely controls hunger cravings and doesn't make me jittery. I have gone through 2 boxes and ready for my 3rd. Highly recommended!
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 31, 2009Reviewer: ALECIA in TexasI really like the AM and PM thyro-slim. I have found that I get energized early after taking the AM and the PM has me sleeping like a log which has been very difficult for me, because I workout at the gym till 6:00pm and due to this it is hard for me to sleep. The only gripe I have is that you run out before a month is over.
