About Me
Feel free to contact me for Fetish shoots- noting hardcore, if you want to see my tonsils via my naughty bits I'm not your girl. I do pro doming- so beefing up my photo portfolio is always fun. If you are a photographer contacting me and wanting me to pay you- go away. It's my money and I like to keep it.
I have an extremely extensive wardrobe- its better to ask what i don't have and if its not there I can make it. A good deal of the things in my port are made my yours truly. I can make latex and vinyl outfits to specifications. If you gander my port you will see my hair long, i own a ton of wigs and wear them well. :-)
Bashful is not a word suited for me, I enjoy fun and interesting changes of pace. Far fetched and weird? I'm your gal. Fetish, Cos play, artistic, glam, you name it- i think I've even managed to get elegant in there somewhere too ;-)
I am able to do my own makeup (with regard to lighting) and hair. If you want an MUA to attack me i'm all for it too. I'm friendly and don't bite.
Message me for my availability I will be filming soon.
cause yes, i do acting too ;-)

a1 University of Tromsø/Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics
Much recent work in phonology concentrates on the role of sonority in the phenomenon of vowel reduction, capitalizing on two facts: that reduction involves raising and/or shortening and that higher vowels and schwa are normally interpreted as having low sonority. This paper presents a different approach to vowel reduction in Standard Russian. It is proposed that the apparent sonority-driven effects in Russian are epiphenomenal. In particular, reduction to schwa is outside the domain of phonological computation in Russian, being an artifact of reduced duration. Other types of neutralization arising in vowel reduction are potentially amenable to a sonority-based analysis, but I argue that current approaches to sonority-driven reduction suffer from representational shortcomings. When these shortcomings are rectified, however, sonority is unnecessary as an explicit factor in vowel reduction: standard markedness mechanisms suffice to explain the data.

We welcome your interest in Children's Hospital & Medical Center's Pediatric Nurse Residency Program. The mission of our 24-month program is to cultivate new graduate RNs from student to professional pediatric RN and to provide the new RN with specific knowledge, tools and experience needed to begin a successful career in pediatric nursing.
Once hired into the program as a full-time employee, your first weeks will be spent in a combination of classroom and clinical rotations that will allow you to experience a wide variety of pediatric nursing settings.
Each year, we will start accepting applications in September for the spring start; in December applications will be accepted for the summer start; and in May applications will be accepted for the fall start.
During the 24-month program, nurse residents rotate through various pediatric specialty units in the hospital, gaining knowledge and clinical experiences in pediatric nursing. Once a home unit is selected, the resident continues with unit-specific orientation, gaining confidence and competence. In year 2, nurse residents complete an evidence-based practice project of their choice. The experiences during the pediatric nurse residency will culminate in eligibility for national certification as a pediatric nurse.
The links on this website will provide much more detail about the residency program. If you have additional questions please email us at email@example.com

Men Are Freaking Out About What to Wear to the Met Ball
They're in a "tizzy" over tails.
According to a story in WWD today, male guests are in a "tizzy" — which is around a 3 on the Richter scale of panic — over their Met Ball garb. Words they use to describe the situation include "angst," "stressful," and "shivers down the spine." Central to this tizzy is the shortage of white ties and tails — which, along with decorations, are required by the event's weird dress code. People have strong feelings about them, to say the least. One British journalist surveyed by the paper compares them to "wearing a guillotine, or having a knife cutting into your throat." Others bemoan the difficulty of tracking down the unusual accoutrements. The designer Joseph Abboud notes, "Any guy whose first and last names are interchangeable will have tails in his closet," but the invitation is "going to throw most business guys into a panic — we should start a hot line." 1-800-DANDY-PROBLEMS?
Meanwhile, more news about designer/date combos has come out. WWD reports that Amar'e Stoudemire will wear custom Lanvin, and André Leon Talley and Hamish Bowles will sport Ralph Lauren. The Cut has learned that Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte will be bringing delicate woodland nymph Shailene Woodley, along with their frequent companion and muse Kirsten Dunst. (But how will the Mulleavys transform spring's take on East L.A. for the formal occasion?) Kenzo's Humberto Leon and Carol Lim are, unsurprisingly, bringing their Opening Ceremony collaboration pal Chloe Sevigny. But what we really want to know is: How will Kanye tackle the whole "white-tie" thing?

To be honest I was a bit apprehensive using this site based on the previous poor reviews. I was purchasing a bag for my daughter's 21st birthday and needed it to be perfect. I was not disappointed! The service I received was phenomenal!! Fast response, delivered very quickly and excellent goods. I have nothing but positive feedback on my experience and would certainly use again. No hesitation in recommending this to others.

I began research in the 70's when it was very difficult compared to today's research tools. I then raised my family and began my profession as a counselor. I have just this last year gotten the time to begin researching again. I love walking thru cemeteries and reading the markers. I would be happy to do those in my area of Austin, Texas.

Ezekiel Anders / Andrews
Hi. I see you created a memorial for Ezekiel S. Andrews (Find A Grave #90534519) in Macedonia Cemetery in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. I also see a memorial for him in Chapel Hill Cemetery under the name Ezekial S. Anders. Neither has a grave marker photograph. Are you certain Ezekiel is buried in Macedonia Cemetery? Do you know if there is a grave marker? If not, where did you come across his exact date of death? Thanks.

RE: Lower village Cem, Stow, MA
She is not a direct ancestor, but a branch on the Gates tree not too far from mine. She died just a few years before he did. Stow has good records so I can document the marriage but not burial location. It seems everyone in Stow at that time was buried at Lower Village Cemetery though. I thought it was certainly safe to add her to his info but of course adding her to the cemetery burials is just a good calculation. Thank you for adding her. This is such a valuable resource. The Wabash Valley genealogical Society here has a cemetery group that has done and does an excellent job.

PERSONAL BUSINESS; Keeping Hackers' Hands Off Your Card Numbers
By SUSAN STELLIN
Published: September 17, 2000
THE disclosure last weekend sounded like a wired consumer's nightmare: A technical lapse at Western Union left its cash-transfer Web site vulnerable to hackers, and someone downloaded credit and debit card numbers for about 15,700 customers. Western Union was advising them all to cancel their cards and start fresh, just in case.
Coming on the heels of a fraudulent-billing verdict in Los Angeles against operators of a pornography Web site who had bought access to thousands of credit card numbers from a California bank, the incident at Western Union left many consumers wondering whether credit cards and the Internet were a safe combination.
Despite the occasional high-profile breaches, though, credit cards remain a very secure way to make Internet purchases, experts say. In fact, incidents of credit card data being compromised by an online transaction are far outnumbered by reports of fraud connected with other online Internet activities, like auctions.
That said, though, there are precautions that Internet users can take to reduce the risk of credit card fraud, just as there are in brick-and-mortar commerce. And consumer concerns about security are prompting the development of new technology to protect online payments.
Figures are scarce for security breaches at e-commerce sites, in part because companies are reluctant to publicize such incidents, and because consumers tend to report credit card problems directly to even tighter-lipped card issuers.
Still, several organizations track complaints about Internet-related fraud in general, and the credit card variety ranks low on the list. The Internet Fraud Complaint Center, an F.B.I.-linked organization in Morgantown, W. Va., said card fraud accounted for just 4.8 percent of the complaints it received since it opened in May. Ten times as many complaints -- 48.8 percent -- involved online auctions, while 19.2 percent involved goods ordered online that never arrived and 16.9 percent had to do with securities and commodities trading.
Internet Fraud Watch, sponsored by the National Consumers League, reported a higher proportion -- 9.5 percent of the complaints it received in the first six months of 2000. But that figure included all problems with credit card purchases, not just compromised card numbers. ''We've never received a complaint from a consumer about their credit card number being stolen during a secure transaction,'' said Holly Anderson, a spokeswoman for the organization.
Most high-profile incidents of online credit card theft -- including the Western Union case and a January incident in which a list of 350,000 credit card numbers was stolen from a music site, CD Universe -- have occurred because companies failed to protect their files from hackers. In the Western Union incident, the company attributed the security breach to human error, the digital equivalent of leaving the keys to the customer database dangling in the lock, where they could be found and used by anyone who knew how.
Elias Levy, chief technology officer at SecurityFocus.com, an Internet security company, said that even though more attention was being paid to security issues, the number of incidents in which credit card data is compromised was likely to increase as more businesses and individuals go online.
Mr. Levy said many Web sites' security audits were not thorough enough to find problems -- a situation he attributed to the absence of severe consequences for failure to maintain tight security. The e-commerce industry resists government regulation but has generally been unsuccessful at regulating itself, he said, so ''the credit card companies themselves need to force the vendors to implement security measures.''
American Express and Visa have taken several measures in recent months intended to encourage Internet merchants to adopt stricter security and to provide consumers with more secure payment options.
On Sept. 7, American Express announced a new ''private payments'' service that is rather like having a disposable credit card. Customers who use the free service, which the company said would be available within a month, will register on American Express's own Web site, enter a name, password and account number, and obtain a single-use private payment number. That temporary number is used in place of the customer's real credit card number when making a purchase online; because it expires as soon as the transaction clears, it is of no use to anyone who intercepts it or retrieves it later from a database.
American Express uses a different approach with its Blue card, introduced earlier this year. A smart-card reader, supplied by the company, is attached to a consumer's home computer and works in much the same way as a card reader at a supermarket checkout, authenticating transactions when a PIN number is typed in. Visa followed suit last week with a similar smart-card technology.
But Visa is not following Amex's lead toward single-use numbers as an alternative. Instead, according to Jim McCarthy, senior vice president for member and merchant sales at e-Visa, the e-commerce unit of Visa USA, the company is testing a payer authentication technology that it hopes will be the electronic equivalent of a customer's signature on a sales receipt.

About Plane Stupid
Plane Stupid is a network of grassroots groups that take non violent direct action against aviation expansion.
We have four demands:
- End to short haul flights and airport expansion
- A significant reduction in the number of planes flying to help address the threat of climate change
- Stop aviation advertising
- A just transition to sustainable jobs and transport
We came together in 2005 to oppose an aviation industry conference and have been taking action ever since. So far we've occupied Stansted, East Midlands, Aberdeen, Heathrow airports, shut down easyJet and BAA's headquarters, stopped private jets at Biggin Hill, London City and Edinburgh airports; sat atop the House of Commons and the Scottish Parliament, supported the Camp for Climate Action at Heathrow, worked with local residents to defend their homes from the bulldozers; exposed a corporate spy and chucked green custard over Peter Mandelson.
UPDATE (Nov 2015) Plane Stupid has reformed in 2015, after a number of relatively quiet years, since airport expansion is back on the cards (proving David Cameron is a liar after he said prior to the 2010 election 'no ifs, no buts, no new runway' at Heathrow Airport). Plane Stupid will continue to take bold non violent direct action to stop the climate disaster that will result from ANY expanded airport. So far in 2015 we occupied the northern runway at Heathrow Airport, grounding planes for some hours, blocked the main road tunnel entrance into Heathrow, carried out banner drops and supported actions by local residents defending their right to a healthy environment. The 'Heathrow 13' activists who occupied Heathrow Airport in July 2015 have their trial at Willesden Magistrates' Court on January 18 2016. Climate defence is not an offence!
We organise horizontally, by consensus and without leaders.
You can contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com or on twitter @planestupid
You're welcome to carry out protests in our name, as long as you are accountable, non violent and focusing on aviation expansion.
We'd love the network to expand, and can offer support and training for anyone wanting to start a new group. Call us and we'll talk you through how to track down like minded people in your area, or get your existing friends discussing how they might want to take action.
We sometimes get enquiries from people wanting information about more conventional campaigning. We're not best placed to give advice on petitions, lobbying or legal challenges. For help with this sort of work we'd suggest you get in touch with the good people at Airport Watch.

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to collaborative computing in the form of a computer conference and, particularly, to enabling at least two computer users to collaborate by sharing a single application. Sharing an application means that the application is running on a particular computer and that each computer user who is a conference participant sees the application (user interface, text, graphics, windows, etc) on their particular computer, and each participant may provide input to the application (in the form of keystrokes, mouse, dials, tablets or other input devices) from their particular computer when the application is listening to them, i.e. they have the `input focus`.
More specifically, the present invention relates to an anarchic method to dynamically switch the input focus in a conference enabled application between designated participants.
2. Description of the Related Art
The AIXPersonal graPHIGS (TM) Programming Interface is an implementation of the PHIGS three dimensional graphics standard. A graPHIGS application can be viewed as having three layers as shown in FIG. 1. The application makes subroutine calls on the graPHIGS shell to perform graphical operations such as creating a window or a graphical object. The graPHIGS shell communicates with the graPHIGS nucleus on behalf of the application. The graPHIGS nucleus manages workstation/graphical resources on behalf of the application. The application and the graPHIGS shell are always in the same execution thread. The graPHIGS shell may connect to a `private` graPHIGS nucleus in the same execution thread, communicating via subroutine calls. Or, the graPHIGS shell may be connected to a `remote` graPHIGS nucleus in a separate execution thread, communicating via a network protocol such as GAM or TCP/IP sockets, an example of which is illustrated in FIG. 1. The graPHIGS nucleus may actually reside on the local computer or on a remote computer connected via the network.
A graPHIGS application makes subroutine calls to graPHIGS, known as application program interface (API) calls, to display graphics on the user's workstation. Sharing a graPHIGS application among a set of users on multiple workstation requires that each user on each workstation be able to see and to interact with the same application view. In a conferencing arrangement consisting of two or more participants, each graPHIGS API call is performed on each participants workstation, enabling each user to see the same view of the application. The following is a brief description of a particular method to broadcast graPHIGS API calls to multiple graPHIGS workstations.
A prerequisite to broadcasting the graPHIGS API calls to multiple users is the ability to take a graPHIGS function call made by the application and repeat this function called multiple times, once on each participants computer. GraPHIGS applications use the graPHIGS API, which consists of a collection of subroutines. Each subroutine call collects parameters provided by the application and passes them to a single graPHIGS function of the form:
AFMAIC (AAB, APIcode, APIparms)
where AAB is an application anchor block used to store graPHIGS data structures, APIcode is an integer identifying the current API call, and APIparms is an array of pointers to the API call parameters. Each parameter referred to in APIparms is either an INPUT or OUTPUT parameter; there are no INOUT parameters in the graPHIGS API.
The application anchor block is provided by the application and is initially empty. The anchor block provides a context for the execution of graphics API calls. API calls may change the state of the data structures within the anchor block. Applications may use one or more anchor blocks at a time, providing multiple context for the execution of graPHIGS API calls. The execution of an API call using one anchor block has no effect on any other anchor block.
The graPHIGS API is enabled for conferencing N users through the following steps:
1. Intercepting each graPHIGS API call at the afmaic level.
2. Associating N anchor blocks AAB (1 . . . N) with the application's anchor block AAB where each anchor block AAB {i} is associated with user {i}.
3. Invoking afmaic on each AAB {1 . . . N}. The effect is to repeat the graPHIGS API call on each user's anchor block, thereby repeating the function call, once for each user.
By enabling the graPHIGS shell to connect to a graPHIGS nucleus on a remote machine, the application may run on machine A while displaying geometry on machine B. By combining this graPHIGS remote nucleus capability with the ability to repeat API calls to multiple users, it is possible to broadcast graPHIGS API calls to the multiple users, each on a separate computer. For example, assuming there are three network users, illustrated in FIG. 2, who each want to share an application, three anchor blocks simulate three complete graPHIGS shells. Each simulated graPHIGS shell is connected to a graPHIGS nucleus on a user's workstation. Any graPHIGS API call invoked by the application is performed on each graPHIGS shell and the effect, if any, of the API call is reflected on the displays of all the remote workstations.
Certain graPHIGS API calls must be performed on all of the simulated graPHIGS shells, while others must be performed on only one shell. Any graPHIGS API call may be classified into one of three categories. The first is broadcast, which includes API calls that must be performed on all shells. Examples include creating a workstation (a window) or drawing a line. The second category is inquiry, which query the state of the graPHIGS shell or nucleus and return the result to the application. Inquiry API calls should be sent to a single privileged graPHIGS shell/nucleus so that a sequence of inquiries return consistent results over time. The third category is input, which includes API calls that return user input to the application. These input API calls must be sent to the graPHIGS shell corresponding to the user who is currently interacting with the application. The user, or more specifically, the graPHIGS shell/nucleus currently interacting with the application is called the `input focus`. Over time the input focus will change according to an input arbitration mechanism.
This classification of broadcast, inquiry and input API calls ensures that graPHIGS API calls behave properly. Those functions with side effects such as drawing geometry or creating windows are performed on all users' graPHIGS nuclei. Those functions that return input are performed on the user's nucleus that is currently providing input. Those functions that return the result of software or hardware capability are performed on only one machine to ensure consistency.
The preceding does not describe a method of selecting a user to be the input focus, nor does it describe how or when to change the input focus from one user to another. Accordingly, what is needed is a method to dynamically switch the input focus from a participant A to a participant B when both A and B are ready. The switching of the focus must not require intervention by the application, nor may it harm the application with inconsistent input.
It is therefore one object of the present invention to enhance collaborative computing in a conference mode.
It is another object of the present invention to enable at least two computer users to share the same application in a computer conference and to take turns providing input to the application.
A further object of the present invention is to manage each computer users input to the shared application such that only the participant with the input focus may provide input to the application, input from any other participant is discarded and ignored.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an anarchic method to dynamically switch the input focus in a conference enabled application between designated participants.
The foregoing objects are achieved as is now described. According to the present invention, a method of selecting which user has the input focus, and conditions by which a different user will get the input focus in the future is disclosed. A user is said to have the `floor` if that user is enabled to become the input focus, or in other words, to provide input to the shared application. Zero or more users may have the floor at a particular time. (This is in contrast to a human conference or meeting where generally one person has the floor at a time). A method of selecting the set of users who have the floor is called a floor control policy. The floor control policy determines the set of participants who have the floor now, who will get the floor next, and how and when the floor assignments are made.
An anarchic method of switching the input focus may be used as the basis for implementing a general floor arbitration mechanism, or otherwise called a floor control policy. Using an anarchic method to switch the input focus within the conferencing layer enables floor control policy implementations to be concerned only with determining the set of users enabled to interact with the application and not with the mechanics of actually switching the input focus. The floor control policy can be partitioned into policy and switching layers. The conferencing layer may implement a single switching mechanism to be used by any floor control policy implementation. This enables the floor control policy to be implemented by a component separate from and external to the conferencing layer. Different floor control policies may be used at different times using the same conferencing layer implementation by substituting different floor control policy implementations.
The present invention provides a method to switch the input focus between users who already have the floor. It is not concerned with the problem of determining the set of users who have the floor. The set of users who have the floor is assumed to be defined and managed separately.
The above as well as additional objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 depicts is a prior art block diagram of the interaction of the application, a shell, and a nucleus;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of multiple users conferencing on the same application as in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a flowchart establishing the hierarchy of control in a conferencing application;
FIG. 4 depicts a flowchart of the system's implementation of the hierarchy established in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of multiple users according to the present invention; and
FIG. 6 depicts a flowchart adding a new floor attribute to participants in the system according to FIG. 5.
The conferencing layer shown in FIG. 2 implements a method to switch the input focus from participant to participant. The conferencing layer must detect when a participant wants to acquire the input focus, and determine if the input focus may or may not be safely switched between participants. To detect when a participant wants to acquire the input focus, the conferencing layer defines a set of input focus transition triggers. A transition trigger is a user generated action or input event that signals a user's desire to obtain the input focus. The set T of input focus transition triggers used by the graPHIGS conferencing layer is the set of graPHIGS logical input device events, i.e., events from the graPHIGS locator, stroke, evaluator, choice, string and pick logical devices. Other graPHIGS events, e.g., update complete, workstation resize, are not input focus transition triggers. The use of graPHIGS logical input device events as input focus transition triggers enables a participant to request the input focus simply by attempting to interact with the application using one of the input devices.
An example implementation of the `Trigger` function is shown in Appendix AI.
By definition, a participant has the floor when the participant is enabled to obtain the input focus. This definition enables one or more participants to have the floor at a time, while only one participant actually has the input focus. Having the floor does not imply that a participant has the input focus, only that the participant could obtain the input focus if desired. Also, having the input focus does not imply that a participant has the floor, although a participant must have the floor to obtain the input focus. The anarchic method to switch the input focus from one participant to another, as described above, may be refined to switch the input focus among the set of participants who have the floor. A boolean valued FLOOR attribute is stored for each participant. Floor is TRUE if the participant has the floor, else FLOOR is FALSE. Any participant with FLOOR set to TRUE may obtain the input focus by interacting with the application. Any participant with FLOOR equal to FALSE will be unable to obtain the input focus and any attempts to interact with the application will be ignored.
The FLOOR attribute for each participant is stored in an EvData structure shown in Appendix AI. Each participant has a unique EvData block.
The conferencing layer then defines a set of input focus transition rules that specify the conditions that must be satisfied before the input focus may be safely switched between users. An input focus transition rule is a predicate which returns false if there is a reason why the input focus may not be switched from one participant to another. In general, one or more transition rules may be defined. If any rule returns FALSE, the input focus may not be switched. If all rules return TRUE, the input focus may be switched. The input focus is switched between participants on a first come, first served basis
An example implementation of the input focus transitions rules function named `Rules` is shown in Appendix AI. The set R of input focus transition rules used by the graPHIGS conferencing layer are: First, the input focus may not be switched if the participant triggering the input focus transition does not have the floor. Second, the input focus may not be switched if the current input focus has unprocessed input events. The justification for this rule follows:
When a graPHIGS application has input events on the input focus event queue, switching the input focus might interrupt a potentially significant sequence of input events. The event sequence is significant when the application may reasonably expect to process a set of events that normally occur together. Such a sequence of input events occurs when a graPHIGS application connects a physical device, such as a mouse button, to more than one logical device, such as the locator and pick devices. When a user triggers the physical device, each logical device generates an input event. These input events are marked as graPHIGS `simultaneous` events. The application may reasonably expect in this mouse button example that a locator event marked as a simultaneous event will be followed or preceded by an associated pick event.
Since the application may reasonably expect to see all the simultaneous events, it is crucial that the graPHIGS conferencing layer not switch the input focus during a sequence of simultaneous events. The input focus transition rules defined above inhibit input focus switching until the input focus event queue is empty, ensuring that sequences of simultaneous events are not interrupted and that applications are not harmed when the input focus is switched.
If an input event occurs on a participant who does not have the input focus, and the input focus is not switched (the event was not a transition trigger or a transition rule failed) then the event is discarded.
The following is a description of the example implementation of the invention shown in Appendix AI, as implemented on the conferencing system depicted in FIG. 3.
In graPHIGS applications, input events are generated at the graPHIGS nucleus level and sent to the graPHIGS shell where the events are placed on an event queue. Before an event is enqueued, graPHIGS executes an event handler function APP-- HANDL() supplied by the application. When an event arrives on a participant's shell, graPHIGS invokes APP-- HNDL() with a set of arguments similar to the following;
void APP-- HNDL(void*APP-- DATA, int CLASS, bool *ENQ-- FLAG, Event*event)
where APP-- DATA is a pointer to an application event handler data block supplied by the application when the event handler was installed, a class is an integer identifying the type of the event, ENQ-- flag is a boolean flag set by the event handler (TRUE=nqevent FALSE=discard event), and EVENT is a pointer to the event data record.
The graPHIGS API call GPEVHN installs an application's event handler function and a pointer to an application event handler data block. The purpose of the event handler and data block is to enable the application to instruct graPHIGS whether the event should be placed on the event queue or discarded. When an application is enabled for conferencing, each user in the conference has input devices, and a user who is not the input focus may use a device and generate input events.
The conferencing layer uses the graPHIGS event handler capability to discard events from participants who do not have the input focus. The conferencing layer defines its own event handler function EV-- HANDL( ) and a set of event handler data blocks EV-- DATA[p], one data block per participant.
A specific form of the graPHIGS conferencing event handler to support input focus switching using input focus transition triggers and an input focus transition rule is depicted in the flowchart of FIG. 4. Block 410 depicts that the conferencing layer installs its own event handler by modifying the graPHIGs API call GPOPPH(graPHIGS). Next, block 412 shows that the conferencing layer modifies the graPHIGS API call GPOPPH (open graPHIGS). In block 414, when the application opens graPHIGS using GPOPPH, the conferencing layer intercepts the call as shown in block 416, and then opens a unique graPHIGS shell for the participant using the graPHIGS API call GPOPPH, in block 418. Next, in block 420, the application installs the event handler EV-- HNDL() and the event data block EV-- DATA[p] for participant p's graPHIGS shell using GPEVHN. The shells all share the same event handler function, but each participant p has a unique event handler data block EV-- DATA[p]. Each data block includes an integer participant identifier with the value P. If and when the application installs its own application event handler APP-- HNDL() and event handler data block APP-- DATA using GPEVHN, as in block 422, the conferencing layer, in block 424, intercepts the call to GPEVHN and saves a pointer to APP-- HNDLO() and APP-- DATA. Examples of the preceding steps, functions and data are illustrated in Appendix AII.
In effect, the preceding steps transform the application into the form illustrated in FIG. 3. The intent is that if an event arrives from the input focus, the conferencing enabler must decide if the event should be enqueued or discarded. If the event comes from a participant that is not the input focus, the event is discarded in block 426. When a participant generates an input event, graPHIGS executes the event handler EV-- HNDL() with the participants event handler data block EV-- DATA[p]. Block 428 depicts that EV-- HNDL() uses the participant identifier EV-- DATA.p to determine which participant caused this input event.
If, in block 430, a non-input focus participant generated the event, EV-- HNDL() determines, in block 432, if the event is an input focus transition trigger by using the `Trigger` function illustrated in Appendix AI. If the event is an input focus transition trigger, EV-- HNDL() determines, in block 434, if all of the input focus transition rules are satisfied by using the `Rules` function illustrated in Appendix AI. If the event is an input focus transition trigger, and the input focus transition rules are satisfied, the input focus is switched to the participant that generated the input event, otherwise the input focus is not switched, in block 436.
If the participant was or has become the input focus in block 438, and the application has provided its own event handler in block 440, EV-- HNDL() calls the applications event handler APP-- HNDL() with the applications event handler data block APP DATA so that the application can decide if the event should be enqueued in block 442 or discarded in block 426
By following the steps outlined above, the conferencing layer handler ensures that each participant's event queue is empty except for the input focus event queue. If a user generates an input event while the user does not have the input focus, and the conferencing layer is unable to switch the input focus to the user, the conferencing layer discards the event, ensuring that the user's input event queue does not overflow.
The method described above solves the problem of dynamically switching the input focus between conference participants in a conference enabled graPHIGS application. The method defines a set of input focus transition triggers, which initiate the process to switch the input focus, a set of input focus transition rules, which determine the circumstances when the input focus may be switched, and a conferencing layer event handler to implement the method. The anarchic method of dynamically switching the input focus also forms the basis for a moderated method of switching the input focus as will now be described.
The preceding method of dynamically switching the input focus between participants is called "anarchic" because of the lack of explicit control over which participant receives the input focus. It is autonomous, requiring no additional user interface capability to communicate with conference participants. In the worst case, users will tug the input focus back and forth between themselves. However confusing this may be to the users, the application is not harmed, i.e, the application is presented with a valid sequence of input events.
The anarchic method of dynamically switching the input focus may be refined into an explicit, or moderated, method to provide a more coherent environment for large conferences.
Two examples of floor control policies are (1) anarchy with view-only participants, and (2) moderated floor control.
Anarchy with view-only participants occurs when one set of interactive participants have the floor, i.e. their FLOOR attribute is TRUE, and the remaining `view-only` participants do not have the floor, i.e. their FLOOR attribute is FALSE. Interactive participants are enabled to obtain the input focus and interact with the application. View-only participants are not enabled to obtain the input focus and may not interact with the application.
Participants join a conference as either interactive or view-only participants. View-only participants may only view what the interactive participants are doing. A view-only participant may be appropriate when training new employees on live data or whenever a participant should be able to see but not change data.
Moderated floor control may be used to explicitly transfer control of the application from one participant A to participant B with or without an explicit action by either participant. The `moderator` (a privileged user for example) makes participant B a view-only participant and makes participant A an interactive participant (an object of moderated floor control is that only one participant should have the floor at a time). The input focus remains with participant A and the application will continue to process input from participant A until participant B is granted the right to interact with the application and A becomes the view-only participant. This ensures consistent input to the shared application with explicit transfer of control.
The implementation of a floor control policy does not itself switch the input focus, but rather, it determines the set of participants who may obtain the input focus. Similarly, anarchic input focus switching does not determine the set of participants who may obtain the input focus, but rather it gives the input focus to only those participants who have the floor. Implementing a floor control policy on top of anarchic input focus switching consists of defining the set of participants who have the floor at a point in time to the conference layer. An implementation of a floor control policy sets the FLOOR attribute on the participant indicating whether or not he participant has the floor. An example of a conference enabled graPHIGS application with FLOOR attributes is shown in FIG. 5.
In FIG. 5, participants or users one and two have the floor and participant or user three does not. Participant one also has the input focus. When participant two interacts with the application, anarchic input focus switching would attempt to switch the input focus to participant two. If participant three attempts to interact with the application, anarchic input focus switching, as modified below, would determine that participant three does not have the floor and the interaction would be ignored. The graPHIGS conference event handler for FIG. 5 is the same as that shown in FIG. 3. The enhanced event handler gives the input focus only to those participants who have the floor. The event handler is modified, in FIG. 6, by adding a new floor FLOOR attribute to the participants event data block EV-- DATA in block 610, and, in block 612, by adding a new rule to the input focus transition rule RULES(), which returns FALSE if a participants FLOOR attribute is set to FALSE.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'll be glad to host like i've been hosted, and make sure that my guests will get the best conditions to discover and enjoy the town and daily life with my room mates and I.
I surfed more than I hosted, because my house is always crowded and busy, and I want to make sure that my guest, whoever it is, feels at home : after a whole day tripping around Paris, our friend travellers deserve some rest! I enjoyed the people I couchsurfed with and I hope to follow their example in hosting travelers.
... extended breakfast mornings, art, art and art in all its meanings,urban gardening, growing tomatoes, cooking, laughing at silly jokes, music, books and pictures, all that my senses can grasp. Walking through the lands...and to pick on my cat Mouloud .

Music, Movies, and Books
My mind is flexible, it goes from supermainstream to deeper mysterious works.
Im open to everything as long as there is something soulful in it, being mysterious transy electronic music or oriental music like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
In the visual arts, it is the same : I like naïve and outsider art, and all that seems natural and genuine to me.
(With a special interest for scientific illustrations and cross-view sections)
I've worked in a bookstore for many years, so there are lots of books i liked, and much more i need to read!
One big emotion was when reading The House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski.
Another book thrill : The Friedlands, by David Kehlmann.
Currently reading a book about the history of neurology
One Amazing Thing I've Done
playing with my band les Lapins SuperStars in an almost-empty gas station at 3:00 am, drinking a Guiness with Dublin's lord Mayor, blast funk across the austrian mountains from a chair lift, and basically everything we did with this band...
Teach, Learn, Share
if you are hosting someone it's always good to have some free time to share a drink and some stories, and show your guest what you personally enjoy in your city. A place you really like, a special dish, a joke. Share!

WOW. Anti-Parasite Diet is KEY!!!!!!
I have learned more than I've ever wanted to know about parasites (in dealing with my Morgellon's like scourge---btw, I don't have any visible fibers, but I have many of the other symptoms, 100% dealing with some sort of full-body worm that seems to live in or on the skin during it's larval stage).
I AM GETTING BETTER right now, though!!!!!!! I'm not wanting to count my chickens before they've hatched, of course, but I am experience significant improvements that are giving me GREAT hope.
What I have learned:
When we are filled with parasites, no amount of herb (no matter how good it is) or medication or protocol is going to help us, because there are simply so many of the worms. The way to help ourselves is to stop feeding THEM.
Foods that (99.99% of the time) do NOT feed parasites:
brown rice, millet, and amaranth (whole grain and flours, as long as both are well cooked before ingesting)
bitter green vegetables (raw spinach, adult romaine lettuce, celery, cucumber w/ skin, etc)
butter (small amounts)
rice bran oil (butter and rice bran oil are the only two acceptable oils--all others feed parasites)
Salt is great (just check it for additives--pure Sea Salt is best). Oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder are also spices that will NOT feed your parasites.
NO TEAS. Black coffee (sweetened w/ pure stevia) is okay and olive leaf tea are okay, though. (Btw, olive leaf tea is an amazing immune tonic *and* parasites hate it too---I get mine from olivus.com--they have a good deal on bulk leaves)
NO FRUITS. Tomatoes are the only exception.
You will feel terrible the first week of the diet, as your body goes through sugar/starch withdrawels, etc, but eventually the diet becomes second nature. It does involve a LOT of cooking from scratch, but that gets easier as you get used to the rythm of a new way to eat. (I've learned to fill myself up with food before I go out, so that I don't get hungry, or to bring along a thermos of chicken and rice or something so that I have something to eat---or plain rice cakes or a bag of broccoli from the supermarket, if you're just dying for a snack when out and about). Cite food allergies if you need to explain to someone why you can't eat their food, whatever---it's easier for them to understand and respect.
BE VERY CAREFUL OF EATING ANYTHING ELSE! Most supplements, for example, feed your parasites more than they help you! Check all pills for additives---for example, parasites love gelatin, silicon, and many other additites found in most of the pills and capsules we take.
Many spices have additives, too---okay, actually, a LOT of things have additives, so you need to become an avid label reader, because all it takes is a tiny bit of an additive and you will reactivate your parasites and deal with symptoms again (sometimes for a week before they die back down).
There is a lot more information at skinparasitesebook.com where I learned a LOT, and though his diet didn't work totally for me (example, I can't have red meat whereas it's okay on his diet), it still gave me a wonderful place to start from, and was WELL worth the few bucks it cost to download it---after all the money I've wasted trying to get better, It's always nice to report on some money well spent, you know? He gives good long lists of all the additives that parasites love, etc, all in all providing a GREAT resource.
Follow this diet very strictly and you should notice a HUGE difference in a matter of days.
Everytime you break it, you will notice parasite reactivation within minutes to up to 48 hours. The only "cure" is to get back on the diet and be strict about it. You are starving them to death. It's either them or you, and my vote is to kill THEM. :o)
I also began the salt regimen that I learned about from lymephotos.com (do read that site) and found it INCREDIBLY helpful. Buy the salt pills from the pharmacy--they're really cheap--one salt pill per 10lbs of body weight. Example, a 130lb person would take a total of 13 salt pills a day, split up into three doses.
These parasites HATE SALT. You will probably feel pretty sick (flu-like) for the first couple weeks, so many of them will be dying.
The salt kills the ADULT parasites, not the larva (which is what feels creepy crawly on your skin), and once you get through the initial heavy-die-off period, will help you feel a LOT better because it will have killed a lot of the bigger parasites that were feeding off of you. (Also, make sure whatever Vit. C you get doesn't have additives---a Vit. C powder is a good idea, preferably a non-acidic sort so that it's easy on your stomach, like Soloray's non-acidic powder or something).
After weeks of taking the salt, it may start to feel like the salt isn't doing anything anymore...but that's simply because you've killed all/most of the *adult* parasites. You can take a break for a week or something, if you want, but don't stop the salt for good. Keep up with the salt, so that as the larva mature into adults, you will kill them too.
It's difficult to kill the larva...as we all well know. Nightly bathing helps, as we've all learned, etc. I've found that pure medicinal grade lavendar oil, red cedar and peppermint oil seems to be really helpful (I get mine from Young Living...expensive, but highly medicinal so worth it, and it's cheaper if you sign up as a distributor, even if (like me) you never "distribute" anything). I just apply the oils lightly to wherever I'm feeling itchy.
The Canadian Red Cedar oil (from Young Living Essential Oils) was the most effective by far---amazing-- (and was used by native americans for skin parasites, actually), but I think they've discontinued it and are only offering Western Red Cedar now, so hopefully that works as well. For a quick store-bought itch aid, I've found the itch-relieving Gold Bond spray (found in most grocery stores near the calamine lotion, etc) helps too, for an hour or so anyways... but the BEST thing to help with the creepy crawly feelings is to go on the diet, which means the larva and worms both don't get to eat and so start to go dormant...and you start feeling a TON better. :)
I'm sure you all already know about the bathing protocols and home/car cleaning information, which is all very helpful (those nightly baths are so nice), but both of those things will hardly make a dent without the diet. Diet is key in this thing. I am living proof. I'm not sure if the diet and salt combo will take months or if it will take years to work, or if it will just keep the parasites in remission and thus will have to be followed for the rest of my life...but that's better than being slowly ruined by this horrific scourge, but I'm convinced it is certainly making a HUGE WONDERFUL INCREDIBLE impact.
Hope this helps. :o)

John Pinette to perform stand-up at Pabst April 27
Plus-sized comic John Pinette is making a return trip to the Pabst Theater April 27.
Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

We had a pleasant 2 night stay at the end of December 2011 at the Omni San Diego. We arrived in the early evening and was pleasantly greeted by the valet. The check in process was quick and easy. We were quickly out walking in the Gaslamp Quarter. It was hard to choose from the many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is located near a railroad and we heard a freight train in our room around 10PM but did not have any trains disturb our sleep during our stay. The hotel is near a San Diego Trolley station. We used the trolley to visit Old Town area and Qualcomm Stadium during our stay. It is a great way to get around without driving. During check-out, a charge for water that we did not use was quickly removed from the bill after explaining we did not actually consume the water. We had a nice stay at this hotel and liked the very convenient location.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Omni San Diego is located in downtown San Diego, just steps from the historic Gaslamp quarter and connected via skybridge to the San Diego Padres ballpark, PETCO Park. This luxury hotel was designed with a cosmopolitan feel to compliment the sunny San Diego setting. The interior is contemporary and comfortable, decorated in warm earth tones and natural materials. Guestrooms are relaxing and well appointed with the finest bedding, upscale bathroom amenities, free wireless internet and unbeatable views. In addition, the hotel houses an extensive collection of rare baseball memorabilia, including a variety of autographed baseballs, jerseys, and a Babe Ruth contract. Whether traveling for business or leisure, a stay at the Omni San Diego Hotel is one you won't soon forget.

Hosta 'Cherry
registration by
Wm and Eleanor Lachman, it is a
hybrid of two unnamed seedlings (a seedling x H. 'Flamboyant')
x (H.
'Beatrice' seedling x H. sieboldiana 'Frances Williams'). Its name reflects the fact that it has red flower scapes and purple flowers in late season.
This is a medium size hosta about
12 inches high with a spread of around 28 inches. The dark green
foliage has a yellow medial (center) variegation which turns
white as the season progresses. Its leaves are elliptic, have
smooth texture and are shiny on top. Pale purple flowers bloom
from mid-July into August. It sets seeds in bright red pods.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), "When grown properly, 'Cherry Berry' becomes an
attractive mound of white-centered foliage that produces purple
flowers on bright red scapes. Unfortunately, it has proven to be a
finicky grower. I've seen some beautiful specimens, but I've also
heard many people complain that they cannot get 'Cherry Berry' to
reach maturity."
