Increasingly, service providers are looking to make video content available across mobile handsets, tablets, connected TVs, gaming consoles and streaming boxes. So Cisco, (s CSCO) which provides networking equipment to a large number of network operators, is hoping to provide some of the technology that will help them move beyond just delivering traditional TV offerings and extending their reach with IP video services.
To do so, Cisco first introduced its Videoscape products at last year's CES. Now the network equipment provider is introducing a series of new products that build on its existing platform. While initial Videoscape products were built to intelligently handle video distribution over the network, the new additions will provide more functionality both for managing assets in the cloud, as well as new client-based technology for a wider range of connected devices.
On the cloud side of things, Cisco is announcing a product called Videoscape Voyager Virtual, which renders a new user interface that can be delivered to legacy set-top boxes. While some operators — most notably Comcast (s CMCSA) — are producing a massive update to their set-top boxes, there's still a large installed base of users who won't get new hardware anytime soon. The Voyager Virtual will let them get more dynamic updates to the programming guide, by delivering that user interface as a channel.
The Cisco Media Processor and Transcode Manager will support delivery to multiple devices with adaptive bit-rate technology automatically. The Cisco Conductor offers up a unified control plane for delivering multiple video services on more devices. And Cisco also provides advanced analytics for both its Content Delivery System customers or for third-party CDNs.
On the client side, Cisco is introducing a new multiscreen gateway that will deliver live, recorded and on-demand video to multiple TV around the home. The gateway has six tuners, meaning it can record up to six video streams all at the same time. Cisco is also introducing a software platform for creating new user interfaces and programming guides. That software stack can also be used to deploy new apps to set-top boxes, including social media applications, streaming video and other features.
This is all really geeky but necessary stuff, and it's probably attractive for operators to run Cisco software if they're already Cisco clients as a way to roll out these multiplatform capabilities. In fact, a few already are: Canada's Rogers Communications, France's Numéricable and Israel's YES have all chosen Videoscape components to roll out next-gen video services.

With a return to British ownership and the appointment of a new creative director, it's no surprise that a 150 year-old label would choose to go back to its roots. That's what Aquascutum did for autumn / fall 2011, with Joanna Sykes at the helm.
At their showroom during Milan fashion week it became clear that here were no bold risks here; just pieces of refined simplicity that would serve as the ideal building blocks for the sophisticated male wardrobe. Silhouettes are long and lean; tailoring immaculate and rooted in Savile Row bespoke techniques. But that doesn't mean Sykes' work isn't directional, with the trench coat updated to patent leather, quirky details, and playful 'British Icon' mascots taking shape on the collection's accessories.

I think its just that his owl nose is covering part of his eye so it just looks like he's "derping". Funny either way.

Really tired of every shirt being grey on this site. It doesn't even look good with the green. Pass.
The derpy looking eye from the 3D to 2D transposition and the wonky perspective on the hat is killing it for me. Kinda slapped-together feeling.
The idea is really cute though.

Big Hero 6 - Japanese Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2014.07.17
Shortly following the release of the first full domestic trailer of Disney's "Big Hero 6", an alternate international trailer has hit the world wide web for the Japanese audiences -- unfortunately the video is entirely dubbed in 'Nihongo,' but it does feature new footage from the upcoming superhero flick and is certainly worth a watch. Check it out above.
The film is about a boy named "Hiro" who discovers his older brother's incredible creation, a giant balloon-filled robot called "Baymax" and decides to use him as a sidekick in order to save the world from a mysterious evil foe donning a kabuki mask who controls an army of flying "microbots" that is set on destruction.
Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action and all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, BIG HERO 6 is a heartfelt comedy adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius -- thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, clean freak Wasabi No-Ginger, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion -- a cutting-edge robot named Baymax -- and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.
Big Hero 6 stars the voices of Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, Alan Tudyk, Daniel Henney
Release: November 7th, 2014

Get an overview of all the shows The Fleet has to offer.
View All Showtimes
Permanent Exhibitions
The Fleet has 12 exhibitions permanently on display.
By Dr. Lisa Will
Get ready! During the afternoon of Thursday, October 23, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from San Diego. Less than 50% of the Sun will be covered from our viewpoint in San Diego, but the quality of light outside should be noticeably different.
If you stay up past midnight on Tuesday, October 7, and into the wee hours of Wednesday, you might be lucky enough to see a total lunar eclipse.
The eclipse will start shortly after 1 a.m. and continue until sunrise. The Moon will be in partial eclipse for most of that time, with the total lunar eclipse occurring sometime between 3:30 and 4:30 a.m.
Eclipse Viewing Information by Dr. Lisa Will, the Fleet's resident Astronomer
Night owl alert! We San Diegans should have a spectacular view of tonight's lunar eclipse if the clouds/marine layer stay away. The full moon will start passing into the darkest part of the Earth's shadow around 11 p.m. tonight. The total eclipse will begin around midnight and last until 1:30 a.m. The moon will fall completely out of the Earth's shadow around 3 a.m.

Coil overs
I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX and I am looking to lower it. I have herd that damper coil overs would be the best way to go although I don't race my car at all, I use it as an everyday driver. I was told that function and form coil overs would be good but they are pretty expensive any suggestions???
549 Attachment(s)
just get a good set of springs. Any decent coil overs will be 1000+ and not needed if not tracking the car.
Alright, would I need to get new struts or anything?
With your mileage, probably.
Coilovers are a waste of money if you don't race competively. A good set of struts and springs will drive circles around budget ($1,000-1,500) coilovers, be more reliable, and probably ride better.
Alright cool, so I have found that H&R lowering springs would be good and I herd that Bilstein sport struts and shocks would be a good choice but they aren't available for my car. Do you know what would be a good alternative?
549 Attachment(s)
Yes, springs and struts would be idea because most springs on the market will wreak havoc on your stock struts. There are a few on the market that will work well when paired with the factory struts though. Whats your budget? Are you going more for the lower look, performance, or both? How much are you wanting to lower it (just get rid of some fender gap or hella flush stanced out yo)?
I don't know of any Bilstein struts made for your car. How many miles on it?
I was thinking of 1.5" and My budget 500 but if I have to I will spend more. 120,000
Probably more towards getting rid of fender gap
Generally speaking struts usually last 60-90k miles. They may not blow, but they stop working as well as they should. You are well into needing to replace them. Springs are the cheap part though, however the struts you will need to use them (that you need whether you get springs or not) are much more. On that kind of budget you are generally limiting yourself to something like KYB GR-2s or AGXs.
549 Attachment(s)
These are the springs I always recommend to use with stock struts. They have just the drop your looking for and will improve handling a bit. They are engineered to work with your stock struts. I suggest these and an alignment with the leftover from your budget. As mentioned above, struts do wear and need replacing eventually.

Our resident vendor, pro import tuners might be able to hook you up with a better deal ;)
Awesome thanks a lot for the info

I'll play devil's advocate here.
For the longest time, I had my heart set on good springs and struts (RCE Yellows and Tokico D-Specs), but when I did a price comparison, that setup actually ended up being several hundred dollars more than a set of brand new BC BR coilovers (installed with all necessary hardware). Ultimately, I wanted to significantly reduce wheel gap and even it out as much as possible. I also wanted a somewhat reasonable ride height so I could make it over most obstacles in the road. I currently have about a one finger gap all around with 4 inches of clearance under my front bumper (with the lip), which is perfect for clearing speed bumps and many inclined entrances. Sometimes I do scrape, but the plastic lip is pretty forgiving.
Granted, the coilovers are considered to be cheap and I have yet to see how long they actually last, but so far, I have 16k miles on them and haven't run into any issues. The shock towers have 30 clicks of adjustability (from soft to firm) and I currently have them almost as soft as they will go since it's winter time. The ride quality is generally pretty stiff, but certainly tolerable in my opinion. My dad thinks my car handles like a go-kart, but my mom doesn't seem to like it very much, so if you have a girlfriend, she probably won't like it either. Larger bumps in the road (usually overpass joints) will jar your backside a bit, but it's not necessarily painful, just more of a rude awakening if you're not expecting it.
Anyway, if that sounds like what you want, give them a shot. If you end up disliking them, the market for used coilovers is still huge since many people want to lower their cars as cheap as possible.
D-Specs and Yellows would out handle off-the-shelf BC BRs and likely last longer too given the inherit design flaw in BC's coilovers.
There are other coilovers for around the same amount that I could recommend, though you have to add top hat replacements on top of that (which OP should do anyways with 120k miles, though that's another $400-600 depending on what you get). For a DD, you'll find coilovers offer redundant features you will never use. Most people who use coilovers for street and adjust them once and never touch them again. It seems like a waste to pay for functionalities you're not using or even without taking full advantage of the one setting you do use (nobody can out-drive a spring/strut setup on public roads). :-/
And I'm gonna be the huge A-hole here that everyone disagrees with.
Just my .02, so no hating;)
I ran Megan lowering springs on KYB stock replacements for two years "ish"
From roughly 102k - 126k, on my 02 WRX
Springs were less than $200 and the struts were around $500.
The ride was still very tolerable as well. Not like stock, but not jarring enough to be annoyed.
The drop was roughly two inches after it all settled into place giving me about a one finger gap as well. Probably more like 1.75 inches actually.
Would I buy them again? Yes
Am I going to put them on my 11? NO
Only because I think I want BRs for adjustability.
Just my .02
Good luck. This decision is hard, I know;)

As great as netbooks are, I've long posited that there must be more uses for Intel's Atom PCU than just powering low-powered sub-notebooks. QNAP, makers of such NAS boxes as the TS409 turbo NAS, seems to agree having crammed a 1.6GHz Atom into its TS-439 Pro Turbo NAS.
A 4-bay affair, the TS-439 can will take up to 6TB of storage internally. However, two eSATA ports and an impressive five USB ports mean that yet more hard drive space can be added, even if no more drives can be placed inside the TS-439. In addition to that Atom CPU, there is 1GB of RAM, and dual gigabit Ethernet ports, which should result in a pretty flexible and nippy NAS device.
It's not just the hardware that's been taken care of. As per the TS-409, QNAP's Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration technologies allow RAID arrays to me modified without any device downtime. Furthermore, 256-bit AES volume-based encryption is supported, alerts can be sent by both SMS and email plus there's a web server with PHP support and MySQL, pre-installed Joomla (a popular CMS) and XDove email server.
At £550-odd with no discs the TS-439 is hardly cheap, but if you want features you've got to pay for them.

Bono Could Lose $342 Million After Facebook Shares Plummet
U2 frontman Bono has seen his vast fortune slip by $342 million (£218 million) in the last week.
U2 frontman Bono has seen his vast fortune slip by $342 million (£218 million) in the last week, according to NME's calculations.
The singer owns 2.3 per cent of the shares in Facebook through his private equity firm, Elevation Partners, which they bought for $90 million (£57 million) in 2009.
When Facebook floated last week, 2.5 billion shares were issued at $38 (£24) a share, meaning Bono's firm's 57.5 million shares were worth $2.19 billion (£1.38 billion).
But, as the week has gone on, Facebook share price has fallen sharply and is now $32.05 (£20.45), meaning Bono's firm's stake is now worth $1.84 billion (£1.17 billion).
The U2 frontman has taken steps to distance himself from reports that he has become the richest musician in the world, overtaking Paul McCartney with his new Facebook windfall.
He told MSNBC: "Contrary to reports, I'm not a billionaire or going to be richer than any Beatle - and not just in the sense of money, by the way, The Beatles are untouchable - those billionaire reports are a joke."
He added: "In Elevation, we invest other people's money endowments, pension funds. We do get paid of course. But you know, I felt rich when I was 20 years old and my wife was paying my bills. Just being in a band, I've always felt blessed. I got interested in technology because I'm an artist."
He continued: "Technology is huge, I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that. Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team, it's a technology that brings people together."
U2 are rumoured to be working on new material with One Direction's songwriters, according to reports, with Swedish pop svengali Carl Falk, who penned the boyband's "What Makes You Beautiful" apparently on board.
Thanks for the report to NME.com.

Readers coming to The Quick, the debut novel from English writer Lauren Owen, having only read the jacket copy, will have a very different experience of the novel than those who are more adequately informed.
Normally, such unpreparedness tends to work to the novel's advantage; I'm not sure that's the case here. The Quick requires, and rewards, the contemporary reader's willingness to shift while reading, to course-correct through the narrative.
Based on a reading of the novel's jacket, readers would likely expect something of a Victorian era pastiche, and The Quick's first hundred pages deliver exactly that. The early stages of the book follow the young lives of James and Charlotte Norbury, growing up in Aiskew Hall, a crumbling mansion in Yorkshire. Theirs is a world of mysterious gardens and whispered secrets, hidden rooms and shadowy halls. We're firmly in the realm of the uncanny here, a sensation that lingers even after the scene shifts to London, where James, as a young man and recent Oxford graduate, lives off the scraps of his family money while trying to develop a career as a poet. He takes rooms with Christopher Paige, a devotee of the city's social whirl. While James initially chafes at Paige and his lifestyle, he finds himself drawn in by the magnetic young man, and begins to explore both London and his own attraction to his flatmate.
This story of forbidden love, complete with familial resistance and social secrecy, is shattered, however, when they are attacked one evening. And there, the story turns.
As the novel shifts from the third-person narrative focusing on James and Paige to fragments from a recovered notebook written by Augustus Mould, a previously unknown characternow given primacy of place, readers will likely stop at phrases like "a man may die, only to revive blessed with marvelous powers" and wonder just how, exactly, The Quick transformed into a vampire novel. And a good one, at that.
Make no mistake, The Quick is good reading. Charlotte's search for her brother – who has become a vampire following the attack and is, at first, being held at the Aegolius Club, a traditional English social club that serves as a front for a secret society of vampires, where he refuses to embrace his new nature – is adventure of the first order, firmly rooted in both the tropes of the genre and the skilfully rendered texture of the period. Arriving as a naïf from the country, concerned only with finding James, Charlotte encounters scholarly vampire hunters, a dashing American survivor of a vampire attack, and another society of vampires, at odds with the men of the Club.
Overseen by Mrs. Price, the Alia live in the shadows and the slums, and present, thematically, a valuable counter to the Club and its all male membership. Owen plays with issues of class and sex, but it's never heavy-handed, and at times it provides valuable comic relief. When the Alia refer to vampires as The Undid, one can hear the Cockney accent at work on the traditional The Undead: it's like Oliver, with fangs. ("The Quick" is the term used by the vampires to refer to human beings.)
The central section of the novel, which revolves largely around Charlotte's time in London, provides a multi-faceted exploration of London living and dead, with viewpoints shifting from character to character in a kaleidoscopic manner. Every voice is different enough to allow these shifts to feel natural, and the reader will pass easily, if not outright quickly, through the narrative.
Owen, who is a PhD candidate in English literature, handles The Quick with a marked skill, capturing the tone of the late Victorian gothic without sacrificing a contemporary sensibility: she hits the notes of the period pot-boiler without ever falling to parody. Her characterizations are handled almost as well. James and Charlotte are well developed (and the power of their devotion to one another is the guiding principle of the novel), and the multiple point-of-view characters emerge with individualized power. Chief among these is Liza, Mrs. P's closest companion, trapped forever, unaging, as a little girl, who will break your heart.
The Quick should be easy to recommend wholeheartedly, but it does, unfortunately, come with a caveat about the structure. The early chapters of the book are powerful in their own right, well-written and evocative, but with the shift into the world of the vampires (which comes about 100 pages in) they take on the aspect of mere back-story, killing time before the narrative actually begins. They're so well-written, however, that they don't read as back-story, and readers – even those satisfied with the vampire sections – may find themselves wishing Owen had continued with that story instead.
Possibly more problematic are the novel's closing pages, which chronicle what happens to Charlotte after the events in London, and present another sharp shift, this time from the immersive experience of a mere few days in the London chapters to the barest of summaries of decades' worth of events.
And yet...
Those chapters also work, despite the somewhat jarring shift, and the reader is left, with The Quick, with something more remarkably akin to a Victorian novel, perhaps something published in installments: it's baggy and loose, at times too much, at times not enough, but driven by sharp storytelling, thought-provoking ideas, and strong characters. It might take a bit for a contemporary reader, used to the comparatively sleek design of most modern fiction, to adjust, but the effort is amply repaid.
Robert J. Wiersema's new novel, Black Feathers, will be published next year.

SB - have a great time with your village this year. I have been setting one up for more than 25 years. It's grown from 4 houses to 32 - many of them Lemax. Let me give you a few hints:
1. Find a quiet, yet prominent spot so that there is little foot traffic (avoiding accidents) yet can be seen by all. I have a log bin next to my fireplace which is the perfect spot. I set mine up on a hillside - backing a wall - with all the house facing forward.
2. Use the boxes that the houses come in to build high spots and cover with "snow" blankets.
3. Also use the snow blankets to camophlage the electrical cords. Try not to use the single-socket cords that come with the houses, but get the multi-socket ones. The wiring is the hardest part. I like to set it so that most of the cords run under the blanket (downhill) in the middle of the village. If you set yours up on a table, just try to run all of the cords together at one spot so you can use one electric plug panel.
4. Use plastic "snowflakes" to hide anything that shouldn't be seen or to create "edging". I have a small mirror lake and I soften the edges with this snow!
Hope I have the energy to do this again this year. It is a 7 or 8 hour project for me and an extremely messy one!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Thank you so much OM for great advice. I really appreciate it I have to get a snow blanket. Mom didn't think of that.
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
Some really beautiful decorations here! Makes me feel really Christmassy looking at them!
Not my decorations, but I have admired this YouTuber's decorating efforts for years:
Another YouTuber I really like is 'blacklablover9', who decorates for Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the seasons in general.
Love them! :D

Phuket Gazette - 2016-03-02 10:11 AM
There are balls all over the beach at Karon this weekend, as the Thailand Beach Volley Fest ramps up towards the finals this Sunday. 35 teams from around the world have gathered to take part in the event. The semi-finals will be taking place Sunday morning with the finals slated to start at 2pm, with plenty of action guaranteed on center court. Entry for spectators is free, but worth getting to Karon Beach early, if you'd like a seat in the shade.
The Grumpy Old Men's Society - a group of Phuket expats dedicated to helping the local community - recently donated 21 purpose-made medical bags to the Kusoldham Foundation to assist with their work saving lives around the island.
On a flying visit to Phuket last week, golfing legend Sir Nick Faldo dropped by the British International School, Phuket to officially launch the school's new Golf Academy.

Here's a tip that comes to you courtesy of a reader's question. She was looking for a way to force Outlook to open straight to the Inbox.
Sounds like a very relevant and legitimate concern.
I don't know about you, but when I start up Outlook, I'm looking for my e-mail. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of other great stuff in Outlook, but 99.9 percent of the time, I'm there for the e-mail.
With that as the priority, I can clearly see why having the Inbox open as the program starts is the way to go.
Wait, I can hear you already.
Some of you would much rather have the calendar or journal or some other aspect of Outlook open upon the program startup.
Well, that's no problem either. This is a tip for everyone! Your biggest decision is which part of Outlook to choose.
Okay, it's time to get down to business.
If you're running MS Outlook 97, here's the information you need.
- Go to the Tools menu, Options choice.
- On the General tab, you're looking for the Startup Settings section at the bottom.
- The "Startup in this folder" field has a list of choices. From the drop down list, select the aspect of Outlook you chose as your startup place.
- Click OK to make the change and return to Outlook.
It's really that easy!
Now, for those of you who are using a newer version of MS Outlook (including Outlook 2007), your directions are just a little bit different.
- You'll begin in the same place. Go to the Tools menu, Options choice.
- You're looking for the Advanced Options button, located on the Other tab.
- Once you've clicked the Advanced Options button, a dialog window will open where you can make your choices.
- This is what you'll find for Outlook 2000 – 2003:
- At the top, in the General settings section, you'll find the "Startup in this folder" field. Choose the aspect of Outlook that works best for you from the drop down list.
For my Outlook 2007 people the "Startup in this folder" field looks a bit different:
- You'll find that you're given a Browse button instead of a drop-down list of choices.
- This will open the Select Folder dialog window where you have a complete list of choices for that first view in Outlook 2007.
- Choose a location and click OK.
Now it's time for the Outlook 2000 – 2007 users to all click OK to exit the Advanced Options window.
Click OK again to exit the Options window.
You now have tailored Outlook to meet your needs, right from the very start!

Sunbrella Sheers Launch
June 19, 2006,
The first sheers using Glen Raven's Sunbrella yarn have been introduced by Glen Raven and Sunbury Textiles.
While fabrics using the solution-dyed acrylic trademarked Sunbrella fiber for upholstery and other decorative uses have been on the market for some years, the development of sheers has been a longer-term project because of specific needs for the fabric at the window, Simone explained.
Key attributes of Sunbrella fabrics include: no fade, mildew resistant, and cleanable with bleach — all important factors for fabrics used outdoors or at the window.
While Glen Raven is producing the basic mock leno weaves, Ludwig Svensson of Sweden is weaving the novelty effects. Initially, there will be five plains in stock in widths up to 118 inches, while the clipped jacquards will be offered in a 59-inch width.
The five basic cloths are offered on an open line basis, while the jacquards will be confined. Current colors are off-white and linen "with the goal of a full color range soon," Simone noted.
Randy Trull, design consultant, was instrumental in the development of the sheer program. While Glen Raven and Sunbury had been working on the program, Trull brought in the Svensson organization to develop the novelty effects, Simone said.
Glen Raven already has a range of window-weight Sunbrella fabrics on the market, according to Hal Hunnicutt, sales manager. The sheers will add a major piece to the overall collection that now spans indoor and outdoor uses.

iPhone Remove unwanted hidden files and create iPhone free space
When processing complex and data exchange calculations, iOS Apps will generate temporary files, which are rarely reused once they met the statistical purposes. These data points are expected to be removed as soon as you exit applications
But in fact, some applications will likely leave behind the same to swallow free space on your devices. Now with PhoneClean, you can quickly find and remove them to recover space on your iPhone. This means that you will take more music, movies and apps with you
Delete cache / files off line and make your iPhone run faster
cache and off-line files contain images, photographs, video / audio media information, etc. that are created to speed up access to files temporarily. But over time, they can occupy more than one space Gigabyte absurd. Whenever you open an application, you must wait a long time to let load data
PhoneClean safely removes so thin your applications and keep your iPhone iPad run fast. The acceleration could be quite significant on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. Meanwhile, for some applications, such as Facebook, Twitter and BBC News, PhoneClean also offers an option to store your documents, photos, PDF files, as well as dialogue and navigation info intact
Protect your privacy by cleaning up cookies and script files
As we have attached great importance to the security of your personal information, it is recommended that PhoneClean clean cookies and script files on your iPhone and iPad before saving them on iTunes or iCloud
To prevent leakage or abuse the use of personal information, PhoneClean ensures the security of your property and privacy
Get rid of partially downloaded or media synchronization failed
The iTunes failed or synchronizes interrupted unexpectedly will generate temporary or corrupt as media files. They are among the others on your iPhone and is visible through iTunes. For devices that are still using iOS 4 or below, the situation could be more serious because of the old school way iTunes synchronization
Many of you will not see until the Other storage space on your iPhone becomes. Fortunately, now with scanning and comparison PhoneClean quickly strikes the non-associated media files to make more space for you

Call it the iPad effect: the British designer of chips for the Apple tablet today saw its shares surge as much as 7% after strong sales in the past quarter.
ARM Holdings' revenues rose 21% to £137 million in the three months to December, with pre-tax profits leaping 42% to £49.6 million.
Annual profits jumped to £157 million against £110 million at the Cambridge-based firm, which designs chips for a raft of electronic devices from digital TVs and mobile computers to smartphones and smartcards.
ARM's growth was not a surprise since Apple, one of its key clients, reported record sales of iPhones and iPads last week. But analysts at Numis Securities and Investec both said ARM had beaten their forecasts.
Chief executive Warren East said ARM was grabbing market share and revenues from royalties were ahead of rivals. The group is now providing chip designs to a string of leading corporate clients including Samsung, LG, Microsoft and Fujitsu.
Samsung and LG are both launching new "smart" internet-connected TVs which will use ARM processors.
Average royalty per chip was slightly up at 4.5 US cents as ARM has been selling some more sophisticated designs to offset lower prices for some mass-market chips.
East reckons ARM should meet forecasts for 2012 so long as the global economic situation does not deteriorate sharply.
The shares settled up 26.5p or 4.4% at 624.25p. The dividend rises 20% to 3.48p a share. FTSE-100 member ARM now has a market capitalisation of more than £8 billion.

The need to replace a missing single posterior tooth is a common restorative procedure. A single tooth implant restoration is frequently the optimal choice for such a tooth replacement. An implant-supported restoration can be screw-retained or cemented. A screw-retained restoration can be either screwed directly to the implant or to an intervening abutment. The other option is to cement a prosthetic crown to an abutment that is screw-retained to an implant.
There are 3 abutment options for cement-retained crowns; a custom UCLA abutment, a stock abutment, and a CAD/CAM abutment. It has been my personal observation, and the observation of other restorative and surgical colleagues, that retained cement around implant abutments is a common occurrence that can be an injurious etiologic agent affecting soft and hard tissues.1,2 Cement is a bacterial retentive surface not easily seen or captured on a radiograph and can be impossible to detect with an explorer. Cement retention is an important etiologic factor that can lead to soft-tissue inflammation, bone loss around implants, and implant failure.3
Figure 1. It is common for the implant platform to be several millimeters below the free-gingival margin.
Figure 2. The initial form of the gingiva over the implant is determined by the shape of the abutment connected to the implant.
Figure 3. Cement is found at the apical extent of the abutment, which can be many millimeters from the abutment-crown interface.
It is common for the implant platform to be several millimeters below the free-gingival margin (Figure 1). The initial form of the gingiva over the implant is determined by the shape of the abutment connected to the implant (Figure 2). Typically this shape is cylindrical, which differs from the ultimate prosthetic tooth contours. Implants used to restore missing single posterior teeth usually range from 4 to 6 mm in diameter. The mesial to distal width of a bicuspid ranges from 6 to 8 mm, and for molars the range is 9 to 11 mm.4 The gingival form in this transition area from the implant surface to the proximal contacts of the adjacent teeth is developed by pressure from the contours of the healing abutment, provisional restoration (if any) and the final restoration. The distance between the implant and adjacent teeth and the depth of the implant platform determine the volume of soft tissue that must be displaced and molded by the restorative emergence contours. The necessary force to completely seat the restoration on the implant surface or abutment is proportional to the volume of tissue displacement. Any subgingivally extruded cement is forced apically along the abutment surface by hydrostatic forces. Around a natural tooth, apical cement migration is resisted by a connective tissue attachment to the cementum surface of the tooth and its overlying epithelial attachment. Around an implant, cement migration is resisted by epithelial adhesion to the abutment. This adhesion can be overcome by the hydrostatic forces that occur during cementation, allowing the cement to migrate apically towards the implant-abutment junction. It is at the level of the implant-abutment junction that connective tissue fibers are found; this tissue resists further apical migration of the cement. The biology around an implant can explain how cement is found at the apical extent of the abutment, which can be many millimeters from the abutment-crown interface (Figure 3).
Figure 4. A UCLA abutment with a machined interface that precisely mates with the implant.
|Figure 5. A custom abutment; the emergence contours are customized and the margins placed at, or just apical to, the free-gingival margin in order to ease cement removal.
Figure 6. Cement has been forced apically along the abutment toward the implant-abutment junction.
Figure 7. A one-piece UCLA single tooth restoration that is screw-retained directly to the implant.
Figure 8. With a one-piece UCLA single tooth restoration that is screw-retained directly to the implant, the mechanical advantage of the screw will provide the necessary force to displace the gingival tissues, creating restoratively directed emergence contours.
Figure 9. The machined interface of the UCLA abutment is altered from what the manufacturer provided.
Figure 10. A stock abutment has a machined interface that precisely mates with the implant surface.
Figure 11. Modifications can be made to stock abutments intraorally or in the dental laboratory. These modifications can apically relocate the margin position, change the shape of the abutment, add retentive elements, and decrease the emergence contour of the stock abutment.
Figure 12. Modified stock abutments with retentive elements on the master cast. A crown is fabricated directly to the modified abutment.
A UCLA abutment can have a machined interface that precisely mates with the implant surface (Figure 4). A plastic waxing sleeve is affixed, which provides a foundation for the laboratory technician to create either a custom abutment or a one piece, screw-retained, porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. The abutment or crown is attached to the implant, utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the retaining screw to displace and shape the soft tissue. If a custom abutment is utilized as a retainer for a cemented crown, the emergence contours are customized, and the margins can be placed at or just apical to the free-gingival margin in order to ease cement removal (Figure 5). When the margin of a cemented restoration is below the gingiva, any excess cement is expressed between the crown-abutment interface and gingiva. In this situation, it is possible for cement to be forced apically along the abutment toward the implant-abutment junction (Figure 6). Cement removal in this environment provides a significant, potentially insurmountable challenge. Retained cement along the abutment surface can be biologically detrimental.
A one-piece UCLA single-tooth restoration (Figure 7) is screw-retained directly to the implant. When delivering this type of restoration, the mechanical advantage of the screw will provide the necessary force to displace the gingival tissues in order to create restoratively directed emergence contours (Figure 8). While there is no need for cement removal and no opportunity for residual cement, the machined interface of the abutment is altered from what the manufacturer provided (Figure 9). The UCLA abutment is subjected to significant laboratory procedures that modify the pristine implant-abutment interface fabricated by the manufacturer. After waxing, investing, casting, divesting, and polishing, the machined interface is altered. The repeated firings and process of porcelain application also impacts this surface. Whether or not there is clinical significance to the modified surface is an unanswered question.
Another option for creating a single-tooth posterior restoration is to use a stock abutment that is screw-retained to the implant and fabricate a crown to be cemented to this abutment. Control of marginal placement on a stock abutment is more limited than with a custom abutment. This can result in a deeper subgingival cement margin, as compared with a custom abutment. A deeper cement margin increases the difficulty of complete cement removal. Similar to the UCLA abutment, a stock abutment has a machined interface that precisely mates with the implant surface (Figure 10). The stock abutment is not subjected to vigorous laboratory procedures that significantly alter its implant interface. The stock abutment has a predetermined emergence contour and margin placement. The only alterations that can be achieved to these contours are by preparing the abutment intraorally or in the dental laboratory. These modifications can apically relocate the margin position, change the shape of the abutment, add retentive elements, and decrease the emergence contour of the stock abutment (Figures 11 and 12). After cementation to the stock abutment, the laboratory-fabricated crown will support and shape any gingival tissue coronal to the restorative margin on the abutment. Intraoral cementation of the crown to the abutment has the possibility of cement retention, which can be biologically injurious to the soft tissue and bone surrounding the implant.
Figure 13. A CAD/CAM abutment provides customized emergence contours and margin locations.
A CAD/CAM abutment is a third alternative for cement-retained implant restorations (Figure 13). Like the UCLA abutment, the emergence contours and margin placement can be customized. Because of CAD/CAM, this type of abutment is not subjected to rigorous laboratory procedures, so the implant mating surface should be minimally altered similar to the stock abutment. Both the CAD/CAM and UCLA abutments have the opportunity of moving the cement interface towards the free-gingival margin and away from the implant-abutment interface; they also share the same cement removal challenges. In addition to subgingivally retained cement, the process of cement removal has the potential to scratch the abutment surface, which may have adverse consequences.5
As an alternative to intraoral cementation, a crown can be fabricated with an occlusal screw access hole, allowing for extraoral cementation of the crown to a stock or CAD/CAM abutment on the laboratory model. Similar to a one-piece single tooth UCLA restoration, the combined restoration is screw retained directly to the implant. The mechanical advantage of the screw is that it can overcome soft-tissue resistance, creating restoratively directed gingival contours.
Figure 14. Extraoral cementation technique: (1) Screw the abutment to the implant analog.
Figure 15. Extraoral cementation technique: (2) Place cotton over the screw and trial fit the crown.
Figure 16. Extraoral cementation technique: (3) Line the crown with cement.
Figure 17. Extraoral cementation technique: (4) Seat the crown on the abutment.
Figure 18. Extraoral cementation technique: (5) Remove the cotton with an endodontic file, exposing the screw.
Figure 19. Extraoral cementation technique: (6) Remove excess cement with brushes.
Figure 20. Extraoral cementation technique: (7) Polish the crown-abutment margin.
Figure 21. Extraoral cementation technique: (8) Allow adequate time for cement setting prior to delivering the restoration.
One technique to cement the crown to the abutment is as follows:
- Screw the abutment to the implant analogue on the model (Figure 14).
- Place cotton over the screw and trial fit the crown (Figure 15).
- Line the crown with cement (Figure 16).
- Seat the crown on the abutment (Figure 17).
- Remove the cotton with an endodontic file, exposing the screw (Figure 18).
- Remove excess cement with brushes (Figure 19).
- Allow adequate time for cement setting prior to polishing and delivering the restoration (Figures 20 and 21).
Figure 22. Because cementation takes place on the model, the emergence contours can be ideally created in the crown without regard to gingival margin position.
|Figure 23. The final restoration: to close the screw access hole, the screw can be protected with cotton and/or gutta-percha and the access cosmetically closed with a combination of composite resins and opaque modifiers.
Utilizing extraoral cementation provides easy and complete cement removal and the opportunity to polish the abutment-crown interface after cementation and prior to intraoral placement. In addition, the abutment-crown connection can be placed subgingivally, approaching the implant-abutment interface without the concern of intraoral cement removal. This allows for porcelain to be placed subgingivally, hiding any metal in a shallow sulcus and obviating the possibility of metal exposure due to any future gingival migration. Because the cementation will take place on the model, the emergence contours can be ideally created in the crown without regard to gingival margin position (Figure 22). The stock or CAD/CAM abutment has nominal laboratory manipulation; therefore its manufactured interface is essentially unaltered. The screw can be protected with cotton and/or gutta-percha and the access cosmetically closed with a combination of composite resins and opaque modifiers (Figure 23). Some have suggested that a vent hole in the cemented crown will allow cement escape, thus preventing apical cement expression.6 It turns out that when utilizing extraoral cementation with a large occlusal screw access hole, there is usually cement expression apically along the abutment-crown margin (Figure 17). With extraoral cementation, this potentially destructive material can be easily and completely removed.
Extraoral cementation is a technique that utilizes a stock abutment and a laboratory fabricated crown that is cemented extraorally. This method eliminates the possibility of apical migration of cement due to hydrostatic forces and allows the restorative dentist complete control over cement removal. In addition, postcementation polishing of the abutment-crown interface is possible. Extraoral cementation reduces the risks of soft-tissue inflammation, bone loss around implants, and implant failure related to retained cement around implants.

This product bothers me a bit, but I like it in other ways. I don't like all the fillers. My kids started taking it before they could swallow capsules and this is all I could give them. They didn't mind the taste too much - smells like toothpaste! I would prefer a more pure product however. I did find that they didn't get as much benefit as from a better absorbed form such as thorne research, so now that capsules are ok, I've switched. My kids need p-5-p or they have nightmares - if we forget to take the capsules before about 5pm, they won't work quickly enough to prevent the nightmare - and capsules do nothing if we remember halfway during the night that we forgot and they're already having a bad dream. However this sublingual lozenge will stop a nightmare problem within 30 minutes and works fast enough to be ok to take just before bed. So we keep some on hand for those days.

A reformation of space : intimate transactions in art and distributed communication
Hamilton, Jillian G. (2006) A reformation of space : intimate transactions in art and distributed communication. In Hamilton, Jillian G. (Ed.) Intimate Transactions : Art, Exhibition and Interaction within Distributed Network Environments. ACID (Australasian CRC for Interaction Design), Brisbane Australia, pp. 116-129.
A number of twentieth century Western art movements have been aligned with social preoccupations with the expansion of space. Alongside well-known examples (Futurism, Cubism, Land Art), early experiments in digital art can also be mapped onto concerns with expanded space. Stelarc's Exoskeleton, for example, augmented the body by extending its reach while online artworks, such as Wisniewski's netomat, experimented with the communication networks that were expanding to envelop the earth at the time. By the end of the twentieth century, as Damien Hirst was converting his art into an instrument calibration chart to accompany Beagle 2 Lander's journey to the frontiers of Mars, artists had come to be referred to as 'boundary riders'.
In the new century, a seemingly paradoxical discourse has begun to emerge. Social commentators have started to refer to space in terms of its collapse. We now live in a time in which diasporas that were dispersed between continents in preceding, expansionist centuries are reunited in real time, Skyping across telecommunications networks. Live broadcasts bounce off satellites and reality - from terrible events a world away to the mundane musings of local housemates - streams into the depthless, non-space of our televisions and site after site flickers to the kaleidoscopic dance of the remote control. This conceptual compression of space is bi-directional. New technologies allow us to extend ourselves, and our influence, across the distributed network. Standing at an ATM or ordering a book online, our touch extends beyond the screen and, in this ordinary experience of telepresence, the space between our physical bodies and the site of affect contracts. Together, these possibilities of remote insight and co-located affect have allowed us to move beyond the information age, the age of transmission into what Tony Blair recently described as an age of interconnectedness. It is an age in which social relationships and concepts of community have been reconfigured by the possibility of digital dialogue, online interaction and co-located transactions.
This paper discusses the Australian interactive new media art that can be mapped onto these developments in the technical and social compression of space. With reference to works such as Jeffrey Shaw's Legible City and the Transmute Collective's Intimate Transactions, it provides an overview of experiments with the potential of networked technology to support co-located interaction, collaboration and communication. It considers how such participatory works - which require a chorography of whole body interaction and provide real-time, highly immersive rich media (sound image and haptic) feedback - produce a sensation of the collapse of space. For they do this on two levels - contracting space between the participant and screen and between the 'co-present' participants at separate sites. This paper argues that if, as these works suggest, it is possible to establish an 'intimate transaction' between participants across the network and to experience the face to face from far away, then it is time to reconsider the spatial theories that have traditionally underpinned our art historical understandings of installation art.

Tearful Suha Arafat watches husband's exhumation from her Malta home
Yasser Arafat's widow Suha wiped away tears this morning as she sat at home in Malta, watching television reports of the exhumation of her husband.
Arafat's remains were exhumed in Ramallah to enable forensic experts to lift samples in a bid to establish whether poisoning had caused his death eight years ago.
She described her husband's death as the "most important mystery in the Middle East".
Mrs Arafat said she asked for samples to be taken from her husband's remains because it would bring closure to the case, adding that she owed this to Palestinian people all over the world, and her daughter.
She also said that she had not asked for an autopsy soon after her husband's death because the body was taken away to Palestine by the Palestinian Authority.
Suha Arafat did not attend the exhumation this morning because she wanted the focus to be on her husband.
Read the full interview with Suha Arafat in tomorrow's The Times.

As per information provided by the PTI, Veena may even appear and perform at public gatherings of the PTI. The report on this appeared in the Daily Times.
Cricketer turned politician Imran Khan, who heads the PTI, feels that musical bands is the best way to attract the public and youth in particular. They also feel that Malik's performance in the PTI rallies will persuade youth to join the party and attend public gatherings in large numbers.
Dr Shireen Mazari, the foreign policy head of the PTI on the issue of Veena joining the party said that she wasn't aware of it. She added, "if you have knowledge about Veena's joining of the PTI, then tell me also."

After Shave Balm
Mens skincare isn't as novel as you might think: Baxter Finley was on to the idea since 1965. After moving from New York to warm, sunny L.A., he needed something to protect his skin from the ravages of outdoor living. Unable to find a decent moisturizer that didn't come in a pink bottle or perfumed like a bouquet, he created Super Shape. The no-nonsense skin conditioner designed specifically for men led to more products targeted at different skincare concerns, which became Baxter of California. But don't think you're still using some outdated 60s moisturizer. Baxter wants us to know, "we may be old school in concept, but we're high-tech in practice."
Hydrates, soothes and protects skin as it combats the serious dryness caused by daily shaving.
- Apply a small amount of balm to shaved areas, massaging in until completely absorbed.
- 4 ounces
- Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Benzophenone-4, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Menthol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polysorbate 80, Tetrasodium EDTA, Triethanolamine, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Green 5 (CI 61570).

Survival Bracelet™- Round Braid
More Product Information
Paracord Bracelet - Round Braid
Patent Pending
This bracelet is just as tough as our Original Survival Bracelet™ but is made with our round braid. It is low profile and perfect if you are looking to wear something more subtle on your wrist. We make them with our smaller adjustable shackle in stainless steel or nylon 6-6 to keep with the low profile theme. They are available in single colors and 2 tone.
The Full Explanation
Our AUTHENTIC Paracord
- All Survival Straps® gear is made from AUTHENTIC military spec type III 550 test paracord. This is the same paracord used for the rigging in all military parachutes. It is extremely strong; each strand has a breaking strength of over 550#. There is a lot of weaker cord out there these days that is made overseas and is not true paracord. However, we are partnered with the military manufacturer of paracord here in the United States so you are guaranteed that your product will be made with the same paracord our men and women in uniform entrust their lives to everyday.
- You can unravel your Survival Bracelet™ in any emergency. Once the paracord is deployed, you can use it however you may need it! Check out the Media section of our website to see how many of our customers have unraveled their Survival Bracelets™ and used them in emergencies.
Our Policy: If You Use It, We Replace It
- If you find that a strong piece of paracord would help you or someone else out during an emergency, we want you to unravel your Survival Bracelet™ and use it! If you do use the paracord in an emergency, send us your story and a picture if possible, and we'll send you a replacement for free! You also agree to give us the rights to use your story and pictures on our website and for promotion. All you pay is shipping to get your new bracelet to you.
Adjustable Stainless Steel Shackle - Clevis Pin - Our most popular closure
-Made from marine grade stainless steel. This shackle is meant to attach chain to anchors at the bottom of the ocean. It is guaranteed to never rust or break.
-The clevis pin type has all the strength of the original shackle screw pin but super easy to put on and take off.
-There are three adjustment settings for your size and a high-speed, no-snag design.
-Push the pin through the tongue and shackle to secure the bracelet. This closure secures the bracelet, but is much easier to take on and off than the original screw pin version.
-Breakaway pins – Your bracelet comes with 2 pins. One is stainless, and one is a nylon 6-6 breakaway pin. If you are worried about getting your bracelet hung up on something, you can wear it with the breakaway pin installed. If it does get hung up on something, the bracelet is designed to break away from your wrist when significant force is applied.
-Survival Straps® is stamped into our stainless steel shackle to guarantee you have the highest quality product and you know who has your back!
Adjustable Nylon 6-6 Shackle - Clevis Pin

What is Active Edge®
Active Edge featured on FOX News National. Read about it here!
Where is Active Edge™ available?
Active Edge is exclusively available here at Survival Straps as an option on all our wearable products, at the full Active Edge website at Activeedgegear.com, and to the United States Department of Defense.
What is Active Edge™?
For Decades, doctors have prescribed pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) to treat a variety of conditions. In fact, the FDA has approved PEMFT devices to help heal broken bones, heal wounds, and treat pain and tissue swelling. These devices work to reduce pain and inflammation, improve energy and circulation, oxygenate blood and tissue, improve sleep quality and many other therapeutic benefits. But these benefits have always required the use of a machine. New technology from Active Edge™ is now enabling consumers to benefit from extremely low frequency treatments, "un-plugged", twenty four hours a day, simply by wearing a bracelet or necklace embedded with the technology.
Active Edge™ is the first technology capable of infusing and embedding electromagnetic frequencies into fabrics and other materials. Our technology has been tested at the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital, the United States Department of Defense labs, several medical professionals and in several independent labs.
Survival Straps® has obtained the exclusive worldwide rights to this technology, a scientifically proven, cutting-edge, proprietary, frequency technology developed here in America. When you order Active Edge™ as an option for your product it will be treated by our proprietary process that EMBEDS extremely low frequencies into the product itself.
What does it do?
When you wear an Active Edge treated product, medical experts believe that our technology safely stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which increases blood flow, reduces inflammation and gives an uptick in oxygen intake. This helps the body to perform at a more optimal level in many ways.
What are the benefits?
Over the past several years there have been clinical trials performed on over 2500 people between the ages of 18 and 82 years old. We are also currently engaged in several trials with United States Department of Defense who has replicated our test results. 90% of people tested experienced a significant increase in flexibility, endurance, strength and balance. Many people also report improved sleep and pain reduction from ailments like arthritis, headaches, and other aches and pains.
Is it safe?
Yes. There have been zero negative side affects found within our clinical trials as well as in any of the military trials. In addition, Bureau Veritas, a worldwide accepted testing lab, has verified by standard test panel (6509)280-0040, that all standards and consumer protection regulations are passed. Our technology contains no toxins, allergens or harmful properties and is non-microbial. All tests comply with US and international testing regulations. However, we do not recommend that pregnant women and anyone with embedded electrical medical devices such as pacemakers use this technology. It has not been tested on these two groups of people.
Is it waterproof or washable?
Yes. The Active Edge treated products are still waterproof, washable and should last a lifetime, just like the non-treated products. The Active Edge™ treatment does not negatively affect the materials used in any way. The military paracord still has the same strength, look, feel, etc…
Is there more information?
Yes, we have a website dedicated exclusively to our Active Edge™ technology. Feel free to visit our Active Edge website to learn more.

Winter Leagues: Polanco Extends Hit Streak to Six Games
Winter Leagues
In the Dominican, Gregory Polanco had a quiet night compared to what he did in his first five games. He went 1-for-4 on Friday night, scoring a run and extending his hit streak to six games. Polanco is 11-for-24 so far.
De Jesus will play in Puerto Rico this Winter
In that same game, Matt Hague had his five game hitting streak snapped. He went 0-for-4, dropping his average down to .304 through 23 AB's.
For the Gigantes del Cibao, Oscar Tejeda and Carlos Paulino both were in the starting lineup. Neither picked up a hit in their team's 2-1 win, though they each reached base via walk. Tejeda was at second base and he made an error. He first couple starts came in the outfield.
Atahualpa Severino pitched a perfect eighth inning in his team's loss, getting two ground outs and a strik...

fire damage
This may be hard to answer without knowing the extent of damage, but what is the best way to clean smoked wood from a fire in a small auditorium. Suffered damage to the round wooden ceiling ( tounqe and groove ) and the wooden pews. Actually, it is the church part of the local Salvation Army.
I have been in a house that had some fire damage that had been Kilzed once. Must have the wrong kind. It still had the burnt smell. Now that I think about it, not sure all of it had been treated.
Original Kilz (oil-based) may work on some amount/type of damage
Zinsser's BIN, or other pigmented shellacs, work on more (worse) damaged areas than oil-based sealers can seal
It still could be bad enough that BIN won't work
But in that case, you are really in the market for replacing
For the other house
It may have been the wrong type of Kilz (the others- not the "Original Kilz"- really don't work well)
Or the damage may have been to severe for oil to work well enough
...or the area wasn't fully treated
How would you go about cleaning what is salvageable to get it ready to cover with anything?
Serious fire damage I call a specialist
As I contract for painting and remod services, I can't really do something that "might" work
I have to know it'll work
Small stuff I'll use whatever to clean it
It doesn't matter to much, it just has to clean as much as possible and not leave a residue, or the residue must be rinsed properly
Simple Green is good, it just needs to be rinsed
I forget the name of the sponges that I used when i worked for a fire restoration co but they are made to wipe down excess smoke damage then seal and paint. BIN is the best for heavy smoke damage. If there is any charring then you need to replace. If you still have the smell after sealing and painting then you need to clean all other surfaces. Seal attic rafters and treat ac ducts and replace all insulation. Really you need a pro out to do all this stuff cus you can't buy most of this stuff at diy retail.
Smoke damage is a tough one for sure. As a painting contractor, I sometimes handle projects like this...but it only includes walls and ceilings. All the other items will have to be handled by someone else.
Typically we will wash down all areas with smoke damage with a straight TSP and water solution. This process takes a LOT of water to clean the soot off the surface. Then we use Zinsser's BIN primer to seal in the smoke stains and smell, usually applied by spray. After that, we topcoat with two coats of latex in whatever flavor the customer wants. I prefer chocolate! :laughing:
Kilz, IMHO, won't come close to handling a project like that. I tend to look at it as a knock-off of BIN, and it honestly does not perform nearly as well.
Like Sgt. Baldy said, if any of it is charred, you'll have to replace it. The attic, ducts, etc. would be a whole other ball game, and could harbor the smell for years to come.
Here's a recent project I did.
This forum won't let me post pics?? That's dirty.

Utilizing the Result From Solve[]
If I am solving a simple equation, such as: Solve[z+2 = = 3,z], this
returns {{z->1}}. How can I easily get the result, 1? Solve[] returns
the solution in rule form.
The current method I use to just get the result looks very ugly. Is
there an easier way to do this?
Here is my current method:
ReplaceAll[z, First[ First[ Solve[ z + 2 = = 3, z ]]]];
z = %;
Now I can use z as a normal variable.

crosshatch shading
I am preparing a graph for publication. I have been able to shade
various areas in the graph different colors using the Filling option.
However, for publication the paper will be in black and white. I would
like to change the shaded areas to be filled in with crosshatches,
parallel lines, etc. What are the options and commands to do this? I
have looked online, but have not found an answer.
Thanks in advance.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is likely to recommend that the government bring an antitrust lawsuit against Google, various media outlets reported late last week.
Diane Bartz of Reuters, citing three unnamed sources familiar with the FTC's ongoing probe into the California-based search engine giant, said that four commissioners believe that Google "illegally used its dominance of the search market to hurt its rivals."
The fifth commissioner is "skeptical," according to Bartz, who added that a "long list" of other firms have complained to the Commission about Google's tactics and have asked them to take action. Two of the three sources told Reuters that the FTC could decide what action to take, if any, by the end of November or beginning of December.
According to VentureBeat's Jennifer Van Grove, the FTC has been investigating Google's practices for more than a year, and have interviewed rival search engines such as Nextag and Yelp during the probe. They have reportedly compiled a 100-page memo in which they recommend a lawsuit accusing the firm of unlawful anti-competitive practices.
New York Times reporter Steve Lohr, who has called the FTC probe of Google "the most far-reaching antitrust investigation of a corporation since the landmark federal case against Microsoft in the late 1990s," said that the company has been focusing on whether or not the Mountain View-based firm "manipulates search results to favor its own products, and makes it harder for competitors and their products to appear prominently on a results page."
Lohr also said that the FTC has been preparing a legal team, should the government pursue a case against Google. The commission hired "seasoned litigator" Beth A. Wilkinson of Washington last spring, and recently approached University of California, Berkeley Economist Richard Gilbert for his services as a consultant, the New York Times reporter said.
Should the US government pursue antitrust action against Google, the focus of their probe would likely be "the purity of the search results" provided by the company, and specifically whether or not it gives preference to their own products and services at the expense of their competition, explains Forbes Contributor Anthony Wing Kosner.
"This is the nub of the F.T.C.s possible case against Google, but whatever concessions the company might make, either to avoid a trial or in response to its outcome, should have to deal not only with the present playing field, but also with how it does or does not expand into adjacent lines of business," he wrote. "Google could make the case… that its braiding of search and commerce and mobile provide a more integrated experience for users."
"The problem," Kosner added, "is that users cannot readily test the alternatives. Google is an incredibly useful tool and an incredibly powerful company. The question for users, and by extension the FTC, is at what point its power begins to diminish its utility."

Aussie Open defeat still stings for Nadal
By Rebecca Bryan AFP Saturday, March 8, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
INDIAN WELLS, California -- Rafael Nadal launches his Indian Wells ATP Masters title defense still feeling the sting of his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the Australian Open final.
"It was one of the toughest moments of my career," said the world number one from Spain, who was hindered by a sore back in that four-set defeat by the in-form Swiss.
"It's tough to be there for an hour and a half knowing you will not win. Not winning is not the most important thing — the worst thing is knowing you will not compete."
Nadal acknowledged that he didn't know if he would have been able to stop Wawrinka had he been healthy, but it clearly still rankles that he didn't get a chance to find out.
"I am a great loser, I never think about the losses, just a few hours then I forget and try to look to the next thing," he said. "But it's true that after that it takes a bit more time."
Nadal has already regrouped with a clay court title in Rio de Janeiro two weeks ago.
Now he's hoping for a title repeat on the hard-courts in the southern California desert, where his triumph last year confirmed his return from a seven-month injury absence.
It was the first of four hard court titles that he numbered among the 10 trophies he won in 2013.
"It was a very emotional moment for me," Nadal said. "It gave me more confidence that I was ready to be back, ready to compete."
However, Nadal said 2014 is a new slate. Although his possible quarterfinal clash with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was the talk of the men's draw, Nadal said his most dangerous opponent was always the next one.
That will be Czech Radek Stepanek, who beat Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 on Thursday to earn a shot at Nadal, who like all 32 men's and women's seeds in this combined ATP and WTA tournament enjoyed a first-round bye.
Murray 'Not that far away'
Murray, seeded fifth, arrived in California encouraged by his run to the semifinals in Acapulco last week.
"I feel good," said the Scot, who had back surgery in September. "I felt the best I have this year in Acapulco. I wasn't waking up stiff and sore like I had at the other events I played.
"My back feels the best it has since the surgery, that's, for me, exciting. I'm not that far away from where I want to get to."
Murray will open against Czech Lukas Rosol, a 6-7 (2/7), 7-5, 6-4 winner over Serbian Dusan Lajovic.
In the semifinals, Nadal could get a re-match with Wawrinka or old foe Roger Federer.
Federer is on a high after a victory last week in Dubai, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in the semifinals before dispatching Tomas Berdych in the final.
"I'm just happy to see that the hard work is paying off," said the 32-year-old Swiss great, who has battled back troubles of his own.
"I've been pain-free for a long period of time now, which is the goal. It feels great, and winning cements that."
