Legal Professional: Build Your Business
There was a preexisting condition that caused my issue. This condition arose while I was employed and quite possibly was the underlying reason for my issue. This condition went undiagnosed because most DR's do not test for it and it takes a unique specialist to find it, which no one took the time to consult with at the time, come to find out. This is possibly - maybe a correctable issue with a little time. Just wanted to know if I have any options or legal options to be reemployed since no one knew at the time what the heck was going on.
On what basis do you think that your job caused, accelerated or aggravaed this medical condition? OWCP is NOT going to approve your claim just because you believe it will help you get your job back. That's not how it works.
Because any OWCP claim that you file would be after your separation from employment, I would be surprised if the "reclaim your old job" rights under 5 USC 8151 would actually apply to you. If you have been gone longer than a year, it likely becomes even more problematic. However, disputes under 5 USC 8151 are decided by the Merit Systems Protection Board, rather than OWCP. I don't know if they have ever had a case that involves your potential fact pattern. It may be one of those issues for which there is no actual case law.
In other words, my opinion is worth about what you paid for it.
It is always possible to go to OWCP benefits, and have the OPM disability retirement benefits become "inactive" (basically, superseded by OWCP). However, because it may have been a long time, there will be issues of causality which you may not be able to prove or overcome. As far as getting your job back, either via OWCP or other means, there simply is no guarantee.
Sincerely, Robert R. McGill, Esquire

Before: A small, sloped backyard
Landscape designer Scot Eckley had high hopes for his small, sloped Seattle backyard. He wanted a series of rooms and spaces to invite people to eat, drink, and relax in the garden. From his original yard, he created a dining room, a kitchen garden, a lawn (for future children), a sunken lounge, a utility area, a shaded seating area, and a dog run.

Connecting the Dots: Hip-hop and the World Trade Organization
In this issue's Industry Focus, we set out to examine the challenges, success stories, best practices and opportunities for African-American professionals and business owners in the mammoth automotive industry. Here, too, we ran smack into entrepreneurship hip-hop style. Hip-hop has given us its own coterie of lifestyle entrepreneurs. And, mimicking their forays into publishing, fashion, arts and entertainment, and the food and beverage industries, these entrepreneurs have carved out a niche in the auto world with customized SUVs that are just as outrageous and eye-catching as the souped up low-riders or special edition Alfa Romeos and Maseratis that others covet.
Say what you will, they do have a market. Indeed, when it comes to hip-hop entrepreneurship, the sky seems more a trifling annoyance than a limit.
In this issue we also publish the Viewpoint of Jon Offei-Ansah, a London-based Ghanaian currently on assignment in Africa for Britain's Mirror Group Newspapers. It is our first Viewpoint from an overseas contributor. In it, Offei-Ansah gives us his perspective on the recent ministerial talks held in the run-up to the revision of the global trade rules established by the Geneva-based World Trade Organization. The WTO to date counts 146 countries as its members, with 27 accessions to membership pending. Each member, regardless of wealth, level of industrialization, or ethnicity of its people, casts a single vote at decision time. That would make the WTO the world's most democratically run multilateral institution, if you measure democracy solely by the principle of "one man, one vote."
Why, you may ask, is TNJ interested in commentary about the WTO? How do the goings-on there affect our target audience of Black professionals and business owners? At TNJ, we believe that to make educated decisions about our lives in the 21st century requires knowledge of the local, national and global developments that shape the circumstances in which we must make those decisions. More and more Black-owned companies are doing business in the global arena. Indeed, many Black and minority business organizations aggressively encourage their members to "go global," using trade missions and educational forums to increase their exposure to opportunities overseas. The rules and regulations under which these companies conduct business overseas emanate mainly from the WTO. Indeed, it is under the same WTO trading system that hip-hop lifestyle entrepreneurs manufacture their products in China, say, for sale in the United States and markets worldwide.
Furthermore, financial experts writing in TNJ have urged our readers to keep an eye on global developments, because they influence not only the performance of the U.S. economy and hence our personal well-being, but also the investment instruments we use to generate wealth.
That's what we like to do at TNJ�connect the dots, no matter how much the line zigzags.

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Welsh Mythology, Arthurian Romance
Pronounced: AHR-thər (English), ar-TUYR (French), AHR-toor (German), AHR-tur (Dutch)
Rating: 67% based on 71 votesThe meaning of this name is unknown. It could be derived from the Celtic elements artos "bear" combined with viros "man" or rigos "king". Alternatively it could be related to an obscure Roman family name Artorius. Arthur is the name of the central character in Arthurian legend, a 6th-century king of the Britons who resisted Saxon invaders. He may or may not have been a real person. He first appears in Welsh poems and chronicles (some possibly as early as the 7th century) but his character was not developed until the chronicles of the 12th-century Geoffrey of Monmouth.
The name came into general use in England in the Middle Ages due to the prevalence of Arthurian romances, and it enjoyed a surge of popularity in the 19th century. Famous bearers include German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), mystery author and Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), and science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008).AUGUST
Gender: Masculine
Usage: German, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Catalan, English
Pronounced: OW-guwst (German, Polish), AW-gəst (English)
Rating: 62% based on 65 votesGerman, Polish, Scandinavian and Catalan form of AUGUSTUS.CHARLES
Gender: Masculine
Pronounced: CHAHR-əlz (English), CHAHRLZ (English), SHAHRL (French)
Rating: 58% based on 72 votesFrom the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a Germanic word meaning "man". However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic name element hari meaning "army, warrior".
The popularity of the name in continental Europe was due to the fame of Charles the Great (742-814), commonly known as Charlemagne, a king of the Franks who came to rule over most of Europe. His grandfather Charles Martel had also been a noted leader of the Franks. It was subsequently the name of several Holy Roman Emperors, as well as kings of France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Hungary (in various spellings). After Charlemagne, his name was adopted as a word meaning "king" in many Eastern European languages, for example Czech král, Hungarian király, Russian король (korol), and Turkish kral.
The name did not become common in Britain until the 17th century when it was borne by the Stuart king Charles I. It had been introduced into the Stuart royal family by Mary Queen of Scots, who had been raised in France.
Famous bearers of the name include naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) who revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution, novelist Charles Dickens (1812-1870) who wrote such works as 'Great Expectations' and 'A Tale of Two Cities', French statesman Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), and American cartoonist Charles Schulz (1922-2000), the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.EDMUND
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, German, Polish
Pronounced: ED-mənd (English), ED-muwnt (German, Polish)
Rating: 61% based on 63 votesFrom the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and mund "protection". This was the name of two Anglo-Saxon kings of England. It was also borne by two saints, including a 9th-century king of East Anglia who, according to tradition, was shot to death with arrows after refusing to divide his Christian kingdom with an invading pagan Danish leader. This Old English name remained in use after the Norman conquest (even being used by king Henry III for one of his sons), though it became less common after the 15th century.
Famous bearers of the name include the English poet Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), the German-Czech philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) and New Zealand mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008), the first person to climb Mount Everest.EZRA
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Biblical, English, Hebrew
Other Scripts: עֶזְרָא (Hebrew)
Pronounced: EZ-rə (English)
Rating: 60% based on 63 votesMeans "help" in Hebrew. Ezra is a prophet of the Old Testament and the author of the Book of Ezra. It has been used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the Protestant Reformation. The American poet Ezra Pound (1885-1972) was a famous bearer.FELIX
Gender: Masculine
Usage: German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, English, Romanian, Ancient Roman, Biblical, Biblical Latin
Pronounced: FE-liks (German, Swedish), FAY-liks (Dutch), FEE-liks (English)
Rating: 63% based on 62 votesFrom a Roman cognomen meaning "lucky, successful" in Latin. It was acquired as an agnomen, or nickname, by the 1st-century BC Roman general Sulla. It also appears in the New Testament belonging to the governor of Judea who imprisoned Saint Paul.
Due to its favourable meaning, this name was popular among early Christians, being borne by many early saints and four popes. It has been used in England since the Middle Ages, though it has been more popular in continental Europe. A notable bearer was the German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847).GEORGEFrom the Greek name Γεωργιος (Georgios) which was derived from the Greek word γεωργος (georgos) meaning "farmer, earthworker", itself derived from the elements γη (ge) "earth" and εργον (ergon) "work". Saint George was a 3rd-century Roman soldier from Palestine who was martyred during the persecutions of emperor Diocletian. Later legends describe his defeat of a dragon, with which he was often depicted in medieval art.
Initially Saint George was primarily revered by Eastern Christians, but returning crusaders brought stories of him to Western Europe and he became the patron of England, Portugal, Catalonia and Aragon. The name was rarely used in England until the German-born George I came to the British throne in the 18th century. Five subsequent British kings have borne the name.
Other famous bearers include two kings of Greece, the composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), the first president of the United States, George Washington (1732-1797), and the Pacific explorer George Vancouver (1757-1798). This was also the pen name of authors George Eliot (1819-1880) and George Orwell (1903-1950), real names Mary Anne Evans and Eric Arthur Blair respectively.GIDEON
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Biblical, English, Hebrew
Other Scripts: גִּדְעוֹן (Hebrew)

He led the vastly outnumbered Israelites against the Midianites, defeated them, and killed their two kings.

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: JIELZ, JIE-əlz
Rating: 40% based on 64 votesFrom the Late Latin name Aegidius, which is derived from Greek αιγιδιον (aigidion) meaning "young goat". Saint Giles was an 8th-century miracle worker who came to southern France from Greece. He is regarded as the patron saint of the crippled. In Old French the name Aegidius became Gidie and then Gilles, at which point it was imported to England.HENRY
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: HEN-ree
Rating: 75% based on 63 votesFrom the Germanic name Heimirich which meant "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and ric "power, ruler". It was later commonly spelled Heinrich, with the spelling altered due to the influence of other Germanic names like Haganrich, in which the first element is hagan "enclosure".
Heinrich was popular among continental royalty, being the name of seven German kings, starting with the 10th-century Henry I the Fowler, and four French kings. In France it was rendered Henri from the Latin form Henricus.
The Normans introduced the French form to England, and it was subsequently used by eight kings, ending with the infamous Henry VIII in the 16th century. During the Middle Ages it was generally rendered as Harry or Herry in English pronunciation. Notable bearers include arctic naval explorer Henry Hudson (1570-1611), British novelist Henry James (1843-1916), and American automobile manufacturer Henry Ford (1863-1947).HUGO
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, English, Dutch, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Ancient Germanic (Latinized)
Pronounced: OO-go (Spanish), HYOO-go (English), HUY-kho (Dutch), HOO-go (German)
Rating: 66% based on 66 votesLatinized form of HUGH. As a surname it has belonged to the French author Victor Hugo (1802-1885), the writer of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Les Misérables'.JAMES
Gender: Masculine
Pronounced: JAYMZ (English)
Rating: 79% based on 67 votesEnglish form of the Late Latin name Iacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov (see JACOB). This was the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded under Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus.
Since the 13th century this name has been used in England, though it became more common in Scotland where it was borne by several kings. In the 17th century the Scottish king James VI inherited the English throne, becoming the first ruler of all Britain, and the name grew much more popular. Famous bearers include the English explorer Captain James Cook (1728-1779), the Scottish inventor James Watt (1736-1819), and the Irish novelist and poet James Joyce (1882-1941). This name has also been borne by six American presidents. A notable fictional bearer is the British spy James Bond, created by author Ian Fleming.JOSIAH

In England the name was introduced by the Normans and became very popular due to Saint Thomas Becket, a 12th-century archbishop of Canterbury and martyr.

Colabello has been a hitting machine for the Red Wings. He currently leads the league with a .352 batting average, a .427 on-base percentage, and a .639 slugging percentage. To go along with those numbers, he entered play on Wednesday with 24 home runs (5th) and 76 RBI (3rd) over 89 games.
It was quite the year for Colabello and the team will look for him to find some success at the big league level before the season is done. For now, here's a look at the minor league action from Wednesday across the Twins farm system.
Rochester Red Wings 6, Syracuse Chiefs 3
Box Score
Pat Dean hadn't made it out of the sixth inning in either of his last two starts but that all changed today. Over 7.2 innings, Dean gave up two earned runs and did his best to wriggle out of some jams. He scattered 11 hits and the Chiefs left multiple runners on base against him. It was the first win for Dean since August 5th.
The Red Wings were out hit by the Chiefs 13 to 5 but Rochester came up with some timely hitting to push across six runs. No members of the Red Wings were able to collect more than one hit. Eric Farris had a big two-run double to cap a five run first inning. The team batted .500 with runners in scoring position and this was a big reason for their success.
With the win, the Red Wings ended their six-game losing streak. It also means the club has assured themselves a winning season for the first time since 2008.
New Britain Rock Cats 1, Trenton Thunder 5
Box Score
New Britian got on the board first against Trenton but the Rock Cats would be shut out from the second inning on. In fact, the club was limited to four hits in 30 at-bats. Reynaldo Rodriguez and Nate Hanson each added a double to their season totals. Jordan Parraz had the team's lone RBI and Miguel Sano scored the only run even though he was held hitless.
Kyle Davies pitched the first two innings but he was removed after only allowing one hit and no earned runs. BJ Hermsen pitched the next four innings and the single run scored against him was unearned. Cole Johnson was saddled with the loss after surrendering two earned runs in the late innings of this one.
Fort Myers Miracle 4, Palm Beach Cardinals 5 (Game 1-- 8 Innings)
Box Score
Fort Myers was able to mount a comeback and send this game to extra innings but the team ended up falling short. Palm Beach took a 4-0 lead in the top of the fourth before the Miracle started the claw their way back.
Matt Tomshaw started for Fort Myers and he gave up four runs on four hits including two home runs. He struck out three and struggled with some control as he walked five men. Corey Williams came in relief and pitched two hitless innings. Zach Jones was charged with the loss as he gave up the go-ahead run in the eighth but he was still able to strike out the side.
Newly named AFL player Byron Buxton went 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. He also threw out a runner at third base. Mike Kvasnicka went 2-for-4 with two RBI to bring his season total to 39. The team went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position and they left seven men on base.
Fort Myers Miracle 0, Palm Beach Cardinals 1 (Game 2-- 7 innings)
Box Score
The story of this game for Fort Myers was Manuel Soliman. He pitched all seven innings for the Miracle while limiting the Cardinals to one run on eight hits. The lone run was scored on a second inning home run and Soliman had to work out of some jams in the sixth and seventh frames. Unfortunately, he earned the loss because the Miracle's offense was absent from this contest.
Byron Buxton had a hit, a walk, and a stolen base. It was his 21st steal since being promoted to Fort Myers and he has 53 steals on the season. Fort Myers had two hits in the bottom of the seventh but a tough luck double play ended the team's chances of a comeback victory.
Cedar Rapids Kernels 4, Peoria Chiefs 2
Box Score
After a couple of errors from shortstop Ryan Walker, the pitching staff for the Kernels didn't allow an earned run in this game. Miguel Sulbaran earned his second victory in his third start of the year for Cedar Rapids. He pitched six frames while striking out eight. Christian Powell and Dallas Gallant held the Chiefs in check for the last three frames for the team's 84th win of the season.
Mike Gonzales cracked his third home run to add an important eighth inning insurance run. Jonathan Murphy and Bo Altobelli added two hits apiece while Murphy stole his sixth bag. Joel Lincon plated a couple of runs that turned out to be the difference in the game.
Elizabethton Twins 6, Princeton Rays 4
The E-Twins relied on the bullpen for a big chunk of this game. Andre Martinez pitched the first frame as he allowed three runs, one of them earned, on one hit with two walks. Josh Burris picked up his fourth win of the year as he pitched four shutout innings of relief. He struck out six men and limited the Rays to one hit. CK Irby and Aaron Slegers combined to pitch four innings without an earned run crossing the plate.
GCL Twins 1, GCL Rays 2
Box Score
Fernando Romero was outstanding on the mound for the GCL Twins. Over six shutout innings, he gave up two hits and he had five strikeouts to go along with no walks. It was the first time this season that he made it through the sixth frame. He also hasn't allowed a run in four of his last five starts.
The Twins managed four total hits in this game. Brian Navarreto led the way with a 2-for-4 effort including his 10th double. Alex Swim didn't start the game but he was an early defensive replacement for Jorge Fernandez. Swim knocked a double in four trips to the plate.

De tudo em geral, especialmente da facilidade tranfer para o aeroporto e a boa vontade do staff em ajudar no necessário. Bem combinados os componentes do pequeno almoço. Nada que me recorde.
A relação custo benefício foi bem justa, preço baixo com serviço justo, desjejum bom. Mais indicado para quem está de passagem, só por uma noite.
Localização e opreço
Das facilidades de acesso ao aeroporto de Basel Melhorar o serviço do pequeno almoço, que deixa muito a desejar
Funcional, perto do aeroporto, e o mais ventajoso vão buscarnos e levarnos ao aeroporto Basel- parte francesa.
Amabilidade dos funcionários preços das refeições mais acessíveis dada a localização
Proximidade do aeroporto, jantar, transporte para o aeroporto Os quartos cheiram muito a tabaco-poderia melhorar esse aspecto
Pessoal muito disponível e atencioso. Se estiverem asseguradas as ligações entre o aeroporto e o hotel, sempre, revela-se uma boa alternativa aos hotéis caros de Basileia.
da simpatia das pessoas. muito próximo do aeroporto. no site do hotel diz que todos os quartos têm acesso à internet sem fios. contudo quando cheguei disseram que havia um problema com a internet nos quartos, mas que no hall do hotel haveria wlan. enquanto lá estive raramente conseguia e quando consegui uma vez era demasiada lenta.
Os funcionários, schuttle para aeroporto
Os quartos são muito fracos, o preço é altíssimo
Excelente localização. Conforto, limpeza e silêncio excepcionais. Recepção com excelente pessoal e um serviço de pequeno almoço de grande qualidade.
Bem situado, quarto muito grande e limpo. Situa-se num local sem estacionamento à superficie, o que obriga a pagar parque subterraneo.
O café da manhã era ótimo e todos os funcionários muito cordiais. O quarto era espaçoso e confortável.
Funcionária preparada, educada e solicita no check-in. Mapa para hotel e indicação estacionamento muito eficientes. Apartamento simples, porém limpo, banheiro reformado e limpo. Agradável ambiente para café da manhã (bom custo/benefício) com funcionária muito preparada e cortês.
the service the shampoo
Reception staff very helpful
Staff were friendly and helpful. Shower layout was impractical and did not actually work.
Location great.
Extremely helpful staff, and very comfortable accommodation close to the trtain station but in a quiet location. Highly recommended. No.
free wi-fi
Staff were pleasant and efficient and tried hard to make sense of our English. Room was clean and well presented
Central location, very friendly staff
Very friendly staff, very near railway station
The hotel is really close to the center and the staff who work at the hotel is very kind.
It was close to the city centre, it was clean and practical, everything you need if you want to spend your time outdoors. The owner was very helpful and his recommendation for dinner was a hit.
Very helpful Staff, good breakfast with coffee that was drinkable (most hotels provide poor breakfast coffee), properly heated room, secure car park The approach to the car park along the tram tracks is not ideal
Silence, airconditioner, staff understanding and speaking english, and smile... And cleaning the parking place!!!! And just one person is the receptionist, waiter, etc.
Low price, good enough location. The first night the heating did not work and it was really cold during the night. We arrived around 9PM and They did not warn us about this, the second day we asked at the reception and they said that indeed they know there is a problem with the heating system. They gave us the keys to a room where we could get a heating radiator to bring to our room.
Secure parking (which in my mind is needed). Proximity of old town and Schlumpf museum. Clean. Seemed to be a rough part of town. Noise in the hotel due to tiled flooring. Hard bed.
Decent sized room and hotel was very near tram stop. Guy on reception was very helpful. Good value. None
Fair price for France, 10 points for the parking, clean, very nice staff, close to the city center and tram.
We had comfortable stay.
Pleasent people at the reception There were nothing wrong
Very good location close to the centre of town. Secure on site parking and a good breakfast. Surprised to find no shampoo sachets provided, though soap was. We were offered a bottle of shampoo that another guest had left behind though!
Nothing Nobody at the desk for 5 minutes as they were busy with restaurant (good for those eating but bad for those waiting to check-in). Triple room was really just single room with 3 beds. No room to walk in the chamber. At morning, the hotel tried to charge us for breakfast without asking if we had breakfast (we did not).
The staff were very helpful and the food was good. After a long drive it was very welcome. As we have children we asked for a room for four. We were told that we would have a connecting room. When we arrived it turned out to be two separate rooms. We felt the rom were very small and out of the four hotels we were using this holiday, this was the most expensive, with least facilities in the room and by far the smallest bedroom.
Nice hotel. Good position. Excellent food. The only bad aspect: Waitress not able to speak english (or any other language than french) and not keen to help. They need to improve in this otherwise they will loose customers. The rest is great
Clean and safe.
Helpful staff Good parking
Th hotel room was very nice, much better than what I had expected based on the hotel rating. So I was really positively surprised. In addition the hotel offered free internet access and the staff was very helpful!
the friendliness , kind , and helpful service. Excellent breakfast. rooms are a little cramped , but we expect that in europe.Sorry, on question below, did not read reviews
The triple room we had was considered very small for 2 star status and price that we paid.
Housekeeping made each day, towels and sheets changed everyday, really pleasant and efficient staff. Central situation of the hotel in the heart of the town, excellent insulation from noises of the city, thanks to efficient great windows. The breakfast is worth spending 6,15 EUR. (price of septembre 2015) Nothing i can remember.
When I arrived late and tired I was welcomed by friendly, helpful human beings, (unlike the 'automated' hotel next door).
I really like the Campanile format - a relatively cheap room (if you use www.booking.com) and a restaurant on site with a buffet for the hungry traveller. Free parking, free wifi and because they are franchised, some of the managers make a real effort. The staff are pleasant. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. The hotel building itself is very tired. These buildings (there are hundreds of identical ones all over France) are all 30 to 40 years old and in need of modernisation. The paint on the concrete was falling off, the steel supports for the hanrdrail was rusting away, the locks on the doors are tired and difficult to operate and finally, the rooms are bit small. Nothing that a refurb and/or good maintenance would not sort out.
Staff were very friendly Nothing

Hi guys...long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've narrowed it down to four watches, two Omegas and two Breitlings. I'd appreciate some feedback if you have time.
I'm looking for a versatile watch that I can dress up or dress down with. I like both brands very much and am simply asking for help in choosing one of the four models. Thanks in advance!

He spent several years touring the country and went to Europe to perform. In 1965, he returned to Helena and appeared again on "King Biscuit Time." Sonny Boy Williamson died May 25, 1965.

text: 1. He never failed a steroid test. 2. He would still be 500/500. 3. He would still be lifetime leader in walks and intentional walks. 4. He would be a member of 3,000 hit club instead of 65 hits short. 5. He would still have the incredible string in batting avg. I think we can all agree PEDs if anything have a negative effect on tAV. 6. He would be all time leader in Runs. 7. He would still have 19 Gold Gloves. 8. He would still have more than 3 MVPS, still better than anyone, ever. No steroids drop him to #3, maybe #5.

Heyup guys
I think I might have an air/vacuum leak somewhere but can't find it... Have taken off the intake pipe and air box and had a good poke around the the small pipe that looks like bellows under the DISA but can't see anything wrong with them...
The symptom is, the revs bounce when at idle but it only seems to happen when parking of stop/start driving. for example, if i'm edging forwards or backwards, when put the clutch down the engine will rev on it's own a couple of times before settling, somethime it nearly stalls when the rev fall again. Does this sound like a leak somewhere and is there an easy way to find it?

"Mouse" is the fifth member of the US/California based branch of the Ranasinghé family. "Mouse" Ranasinghé …so says his badge on his collar.
Anyway … early one morning Kelly Ranasinghé was trying to park in his parking bay at the San Diego court and found a badly brutalized dog, abandoned and wired to his parking space. Half-hearted protests notwithstanding the dog was rescued and now lives with, and has become an integral part of, the Ranasinghé family.
The vet(s) – and innumerable "good old boys "…they who know about this sort of thing – are insistent that Mouse is a rather well-bred "American Blue Pit Bull".
They are firm in their belief that he was – contrary to popular myth perpetrated by the media whenever any pit bull is mentioned – probably loathe to kill in illegal dog fighting rings. They think he would fight (as vouchsafed by his scars) …but apparently, not kill. Thus it is believed he was badly beaten …than abandoned.
That first day when he arrived he was hurried to the vet because his tail was almost detached, he was battered, bruised and all bloody. This is hard to comprehend but someone had shot staples into his lower abdomen…. Other noisome stuff had been done to him. The sort of [expletives deleted] for which some evil humans should be shot. He still has issues with humans who come near him carrying anything that vaguely resembles a stick …and issues with certain other large dogs.
Careful observation causes other members of the family to understand that he does think that smaller fluffy animals – especially those carried at the bosom of large Wagnerian San Diegan matrons… are snacks prepared for his personal delectation.
He is very attached to Mrs Ranasinghé and the younger Ranasinghé's. Seriously attached. We believe he has abandonment issues. So he is rarely left alone. He adores small children.
As for the eldest Ranasinghé … Mouse just tolerates him …but with a distinctly supercilious air.
He sees the elder R as a supine human being …one well past his prime. To Mouse he is just a source of his food… definitely "the" source of all illegal snacks. The elderly person is also something warm to sit upon as it takes his canine fancy.
A belief has arisen that Mouse has Buddhist forebears. That today he is gaining Dana… (gaining merit toward reaching a higher plane) thus he has had an earlier existence. It is believe that in that earlier existence Mouse was a food critic. Probably a French food critic. Why else would he look at one balefully when one tries to feed him the usual store bought dog food ? Why else will he only accept dog food prepared by someone called Chef Michel? Why else would he display approbation for French style country paté, all restaurant -prepared French cuisine, sauté 'd liver with mushrooms, Steak au Poivre etc . None of your rubbishy common dry dog food for M. Maus.
Anyway …here are some still pics of Mouse Ranasinghé today, the first is self explanatory.
The second pic is of mouse in his position as Vice President of the elder Ranasinghé's global endeavour. This came about because, one day, he decided enough was enough. He too was upwardly mobile. So he sort of "pushed " one of the elder Ranasinghé's colleagues/friends out of his chair next to the computer …took over and proceeded to sniff disdainfully as he peered over said elder Ranasinghé's shoulder. He does this when he catches sight of any of the peerless prose being put down for posterity by lowly humans. Everyone is a Critic!
Recently Mouse has been listening to his many friends and admirers who have suggested his occasional insight – especially about the world – resonates with them. It is those friends who first mooted the idea that something called a "podcast" might be an initial means for them to stay in touch with him. Initially Mouse fended off all such recommendations. [His posture is he is always much better with a live audience …such a thespian !] But they kept pressing him. They felt that he might be willing to share his opinion of world events, the economy, any subject that takes his fancy.
Then they started playing dirty. They reminded him that he is getting older …it may be time to stop charging around like a young dog …an armchair might be more in keeping with his vintage. He could speak from the comfort of an armchair they said. They even offered a warm blanket if the chill should seep into elderly bones. Cheeky Pups!
But as he ruminated about the Podcast possibilities, a glitch became apparent.
Albeit an "American Blue Pit Bull" …Mouse sees himself as something of a Global, multi-lingual, raconteur. To put many mono-lingual humans in their place he usually only converses in sibilant canine French, canine Bahasa Melayu or flawless Canine English ( such, he hopes, as would make an expert in these canine languages weep at his lyricism)
It became obvious that he needed a lowly human interpreter.
Thus, these "conversations with Mouse" with his chosen, lowly, human interpreter.

An information theoretic approach to camera control for crowded scenes

Navigation and monitoring of large and crowded virtual environments is a challenging task and requires intuitive camera control techniques to assist users. In this paper, we present a novel automatic camera control technique providing a scene analysis framework based on information theory. The developed framework contains a probabilistic model of the scene to build entropy and expectancy maps. These maps are utilized to find interest points which represent either characteristic behaviors of the crowd or novel events occurring in the scene. After an interest point is chosen, the camera is updated accordingly to display this point. We tested our model in a crowd simulation environment and it performed successfully. Our method can be integrated into existent camera control modules in computer games, crowd simulations and movie pre-visualization applications.

Most of us are so engrossed in our day to day activities, which remain woven around reacting to things that are happening all around us, that we forget to plan for the future. That rings true especially when it comes to our finances. After all, it's a slow tedious process which yields results in slow motion. Who has the patience to wait for so long, right?
To motivate all of us in the gentlest of manner possible, the guys over at NY Times have made an online app [1] which helps you see the amount of money you'll accumulate in the future if you increase your savings by mere 1%.
To estimate this, you are required to enter your annual income, the percentage you save every year, the time window and a few other optional factors. Once the data is entered it calculates and estimate the approximate figure which denotes your projected future savings. Going a step further, the application charts the data on a graph for easy visual representation.
It not only shows you the amount that you will save if you continue at the rate at which you are saving currently, but also shows you the amount you'll have if you save just 1% more than your current saving rate. Highly motivating, isn't it?
It doesn't stop there, and continues to show you the kind of money you can expect to accumulate if you increase your saving rate by 1% every year to a maximum of 16%.
Pretty nifty, I say. This is as good as future projection gets.
Here's another hint: Save a screenshot of the graph that is generated for you and put it someplace where you can see it everyday. I guarantee that you'll suddenly find a new-found enthusiasm for saving money for the future.

I was driving home in the warm summer rain the other night when I spotted three teenage boys sprinting across the street with smiles on their faces.
That scene reminded me of another August day many years prior when my three sons were high school and college aged. Our city had seen a historic flood of immense proportions that day. Our family of five carried buckets and buckets of water from the basement to the backyard for disposal that morning and into the afternoon as all the drains in the house were overflowing.
Although we all worked diligently that day and during the next week to recover what we could from our basement, we found that the one thing that wasn't dampened was our spirits.
Instead of sulking about the large task ahead of us, we remembered what Grandma Tess used to say, "Many hands make light work!"
All of us had come to love and cherish the little stone cottage that had become our home just a few years earlier.
My husband Steven and I were married 20 years before we could afford a permanent home of our own. So before the ink was dry on the deed to our new house on North 13th Street, we were eagerly anticipating all of the events that would unfold in our very own home.
And celebrate we did…birthdays, holidays, graduations, and much more!
We painted, decorated, landscaped and furnished that home until it shown with pride of ownership. When we were finished, we hung a stone sign near the front door proclaiming that this was "The Tess Home."
The boys grew up, moved away, and two of them eventually married. Life for the empty nesters, my husband, Steven, and I, was very sweet.
We had romantic candlelit dinners with wonderful music and dancing in the living room. On starlit evenings, we sat at the picnic table looking for the big dipper and watching shooting stars. Some winter nights we simply cuddled up under a blanket on the couch and watched old movies.
Yes, indeed, life was good!
A darker day
Just a few years later in 2004, my life entered a tailspin with the unexpected death of our oldest son, and again in 2006 when I came home to find that my husband, Steven, had passed away.
As any newly widowed person can tell you, it is extremely difficult to begin living on your own, especially if you've been married your entire adult life. But even worse than living alone for me was the echo of family memories that filled every square inch of my home – memories that were now tarnished by Steven's sudden death in that safe place we had called home for so many years.
At that point, I was unsure of what my future held, but I was certain that I could not continue to live any longer with the sad memories that were now permeating the walls of my once joyful home.
Over the next few months, I pondered how to solve this dilemma. Should I stay or should I go?
There didn't appear to be any obvious solution.
As I had in the past, I continued to pray to our Mother Mary for guidance.
Then one Sunday, about four months after Steven passed away, I happened to spot an ad in the local newspaper for an open house not too far from where I lived.
Strange, but the picture of the house looked exactly like a home that Steven and I had wanted to tour a year earlier, but we had missed the open house for one reason or another and never followed through on viewing it.
The other strange thing about the house was that it was located on Marion Lane.
My brain immediately popped the question, "Now isn't that odd, you've been praying to Mother Mary and now a house on Marion Lane seems to be calling your name?" Sort of a neat little bow to our Mother, wouldn't you say?
Since I was on my way to church, I put the paper away and kept the open house in the back of my mind, just in case I wanted to make a quick stop on the way home.
As luck would have it, church let out early so I decided to take a chance and drive up to Marion Lane for a look.
A 'mysterious warmth'
Immediately upon entering the house, I felt a very warm feeling that seemed to say, "Welcome home!" Every room I entered had a vibe going on. Other people were viewing the home, but they all found things wrong with it, while I continued to sense a sort of mysterious warmth and a feeling deep within my heart that this house was to be my home.
After leaving the open house, I attended a birthday party for my niece, but I couldn't stop thinking about that house!
The next day, I called my financial planner and asked if somewhere in my wildest dreams I could afford such a home. He thought the price was reasonable and indicated that I should go for it.
Immediately, my phone rang and it was the realtor calling to say that there was to be another open house the next weekend if I should care to attend. She also mentioned that the house had been for sale a year earlier, just as I had remembered, but the new owners now had a job transfer out of town.
I remember thinking back to how that home seemed to be exactly what Steven and I had been hoping to buy someday. You see, we wanted a larger yard, as we knew there would be grandchildren in our future and we just couldn't wait to hear a little voice proclaim, "I'm at Grandma and Grandpa's house!"
I called my son Mike and he agreed to tour the home with me the following Sunday. While I was waiting for him to arrive, I opened the paper and found the ad for the house. There it was in all its glory with the wrong address. The paper had mistakenly printed an address on the other side of town. This meant that I would be the only potential buyer to view the property that day.
Mike and I jumped in the car and when we pulled up to the home on Marion Lane and got out, an old cross that had been given to me many years ago while teaching CCD fell out of my purse onto the pavement in front of me.
Looking up at me were the words, "God Loves You!"
I was so astonished that I called Mike over to look. He chuckled at my good fortune and continued on to the house.
Now believe me when I say when Mike and I walked in the front door, all I could see was a look of amazement on his face. It seems that my youngest son was receiving the same sort of message that I had been getting a week earlier. We looked through a few rooms and proceeded to the basement, where Mike looked at me and said, "Mom, you have to buy this house!"
Wisdom from St. Matthew
After a short negotiation with the seller, the home on Marion Lane became mine.
You may ask whatever became of the stone cottage on North 13th Street. Well, I'm happy to report that God did in fact have a plan. Even though the housing market had been in a slump for a while, my home sold immediately for more than the asking price, and I never had to make a house payment on two homes at the same time.
I attribute my good fortune in home ownership to none other than the Blessed Mother, who I prayed to regularly to get me through some very lonely times. I do suspect that only she could have led me to the cedar house on Marion Lane.
Over the last five years, I have filled many an empty weekend with gardening, painting and furnishing this special home that my granddaughter Maddie simply refers to as "Grandma's House."
As I sit here in my kitchen on Marion Lane, typing this story, I think about how my faith. just like the little stone cottage, withstood the floods and I remember these words spoken by our Savior Himself:
"…Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse;
it had been set solidly on rock."
Blessed be the Lord, my rock! Life is good!

GAINESVILLE- 21 year old Daniel Roane was arrested last Friday on charges of dealing in stolen property, grand theft auto, and conspiracy to commit grand theft auto.
In total, Roane has 24 counts against him in relation to eight different motorcycle thefts.
A warrant is still out for the arrest of his alleged partner in crime 41 year old Larry Stone
Gainesville Police Officer Ben Tobias explains, "We've been looking for Stone now for a while for information that he has been making meth in the city of Gainesville."
Police say Stone got Roane hooked on the drug before the motorcycle robberies began.

According to the patent, and images obtained by Patently Apple, the device would use a slap bracelet to wrap around your wrist. Power could come from the use of solar and kinetic energy. According to the patent application, "Active communication between an accessory and a portable electronic device can be accomplished wirelessly. For example, a wireless data connection such as the 5 GHz 802.11n protocol can provide sufficient data transmission bandwidth to transmit a high quality video stream." The application also explains how this device, being worn on the arm, could provide a traveler with a look at a map with a "flick of the wrist." Blinking lights on the edge of the display could alert users to an event.
According to Apple, the device can also be used as a light for night time bike riding while wrapped around an arm or leg. And a gyroscope or accelerometer helps orient the screen correctly.
It seems that everyone has been waiting for Apple's next innovation. This could be it.

maemo.org Bugzilla – Bug 6852
No way to get notifications about changes in brainstorm
Last modified: 2009-12-14 15:50:47 UTC
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Some time ago I commented few ideas/solutions in brainstorm. Also voted for
some of them (and against some too). But I did not get any notifications what
was going with them later. I do not like to be pushed to dig though brainstorm
area just to check for which entries I took any action - I do not have time for
With bug tracker I can do such search once and store it as one of my default
See http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/watching_brainstorm/
Work on brainstorm is ongoing, hopefully this will be dealt with soon.
The ability for bugzilla style saved searches should probably be posted
seperately as a new idea on brainstorm.
(In reply to comment #1)

Sure, but until some of those ideas will be implemented situation will be same.

OK - bug #6952 submitted
The place to discuss and push solutions is indeed
The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead:

(In reply to comment #3)
> The place to discuss and push solutions is indeed

I can even agree with you. But as there is no way to get notification about
changes in brainstorm am I supposed to refresh that page from time to time just
to check did something changed?
The Midgard activity stream that will soon be deployed to Brainstorm will
provide RSS feeds that enable you to watch the things that are interesting.

Nope.Originally Posted by YZFWVpeople need to learn how to ride...The streets not a race track and that's what kills people...go fast but keep it under control, because deer/sand/18-wheeler > 350lb motorcycle.
That being said, even the old 02,03 r6's were running mid 11's in the 1/4. And if you go further than a 1/4, you'll definately lose. Hell, I'd race from 6th if I could get a push start and still beat most any car on the road if the road was long enough. Most cars are lucky to make it over 150mph....the r6 would keep on chugging until it was stopped by wind resistance at about 167....and the new liter bikes....forget about it....they're all voluntarily limited at 187....think you can get your wrx to go that fast with a mclaren pushing it?
