My dad is going to have surgery to remove two lipomas from his flanks/lower back area. I think a lipoma is some kind of fat deposit, so I'm wondering is lipoma removal anything like liposuction? Is it a cosmetic procedure like liposuction, i.e. not covered by insurance?
Is Lipoma Removal Like Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 14
Contour defects from lipoma removal
Proper excision of a lipoma does neccesitate an incision in the skin. Very large lipomas will leave a large indentation in the surrounding tissue once the lipoma is removed. For this reason, it is important to have this done by a plastic surgeon who is familiar with and able to properly perform reconstruction of the deeper tissues. Although liposuction is possible for removing lipomas, it is only used in rare situations. Additionally, liposuction will not completely remove the lipoma and therefore will increase the chance of the lesion re-growing.
Liposuction will not remove completely a lipoma
Liposuction for lipomas is not the treatment of first choice. Liposuction does not completely remove lipomas. Small surgery is a better option
Lipomas are removed by excision
Lipomas are removed by surgical excision, not by liposuction. This should preferably be performed by a plastic surgeon to minimize scarring. In very specific circumstances where traditional surgery is contraindicated for various reasons, a patient may undergo lipoaspiration to improve symptoms associated with a lipoma.
This procedure should also be performed by a plastic surgeon and a tissue diagnosis should be made prior to invasive lipoaspirative surgery to improve overall safety and maintain the highest standards of care.

Liposuction to remove lipoma
You can remove lipomas with liposuction but it introduces two potential problems.
The first problem is being sure to have tissue for pathology. While soft tissue masses that are otherwise asymptomatic can be a lipoma it can also be other things. Pathologic diagnosis is important and liposuction alone can make getting tissue for pathology difficult.
The second problem is recurrence. Lipomas can recur if not completely resected. They tend to have defined borders and can be "shelled out". Liposuction makes complete removal more difficult and may increase recurrence
I hope this helps
Great questions. Unfortunately a lipoma is different...
Great questions. Unfortunately a lipoma is different from regular fat. Liposuction will tend to remove most of the lesion but it will likely come back. The best treatment is to make a small incision over the lipoma and remove the lesion. At times, lipoma removal is not considered cosmetic. While there is never a guarantee of insurance coverage, it is prudent to check with your insurance company before removal as there are circumstances that removal is covered by insurance.

Liposuction not best choice for small lipomas
A Lipoma is simply a lump of fat, firmer in nature than the surrounding fat that acts like a benign tumor that keeps on growing even if you stay at the same weight. It is directly removed directly by surgery. Rarely for a huge lipoma, liposuction can be used but this increases the risk for recurrence as some lipoma cells remain.
Here is an article you can read about using liposuction for Giant Lipomas that I wrote for Annals of plastic surgery :Nichter LS, Gupta R*: Liposuction of Giant Lipoma. Annals of Plastic Surgery 1990; 24:362-365
Is Lipoma Removal Like Liposuction?
I remove lipomas such as these with a combination of SmartLipo laser treatment followed by lipo-aspiration.
A biopsy can be done if there is any concern that the lesion is not benign. Malignant transformation of a subcutaneous lipoma is very uncommon. Google "liposarcoma" and pick the Medscape article for information in depth about lipomas and liposarcomas.
Liposuction can and has been done, but with the advent of laser assisted liposuction devices, the risk of recurrence and depression of the skin is greatly reduced. If liposuction is done, the patient has to accept that not all the lipoma will be removed and there is a greater chance of recurrence than with direct excision. Direct excision is usually successful, but there is still a chance of recurrence.
The laser first melts the fatty tissue of the lipoma and is very good at getting through the dense fibrous network that holds the fat in some large lipomas. Then after the endpoint of skin smoothness and no palpable remnants, a blunt lip-aspiration cannula is used to gently remove any tissue and fluid from the space formerly containing the lipoma. The 5 mm incision can be closed or left open for drainage.
Lipoma Removal with Liposuction
Lipomas can usually be easily removed by making a small incision in the skin and "pushing" the lipoma out through the opening. Liposuction is not he preferred method of treatment.
Lipomas are most often completely removed: Reason why ...
You run the risk of lipoma recurrence if they are not completely removed. I have used liposuction in select cases for lipomas that are very difficult to get to or intimately associated with the facial nerve. However, there is a trade off that the lipoma might recur and require additional treatment. Therefore, for easily accessible lipomas they are typically removed in their entirity.

Lipoma removal: excision vs. liposuction
Lipomas are usually removed by direct excision. This means an incision is made directly over the lipoma, and the lipoma is removed. Frequently the incision can be a smaller than the underlying lipoma.
Large lipomas are occasionally removed by liposuction.
Advantages of direct excision:
1. Tissue available to send for pathologic diagnosis.
2. Recurrence rate is lower than with liposuction because excision is more likely to remove all abnormal cells.
3. Insurance will usually cover.
Advantages of liposuction:
Smaller incision.
Most patients choose direct excision.

No parent rests easy when their baby is sick – or likes to even think about the possibility. Certain illnesses, however, are so common during the first year that they're almost routine.
Your baby is very likely to experience one or more of the following six conditions during his first year of life. Fortunately, there are things you can do to relieve your baby's discomfort and treat some of the symptoms.
Constipation is very common, affecting about 30 percent of children at some stage. When it comes to a baby's bowel movements, there's no "normal" number or schedule – only what's normal for your baby. Your baby may pass a stool after every feeding, or she may wait a day or more between bowel movements.
Her individual pattern depends on what she eats and drinks, how active she is, and how quickly she digests her food and then gets rid of waste. With practice, you'll be able to tune in to your baby's unique patterns.
If you're concerned that your baby may be constipated, there are a couple of clues to look for. One clue is less frequent bowel movements than her norm, especially if she hasn't had one in three or more days and is obviously uncomfortable when she does have one. And if she has hard, dry stools that are difficult for her to pass – no matter how frequently – she may be constipated.
If you notice very liquid stools in your child's diaper, don't assume it's diarrhea – it may actually be evidence of constipation. Liquid stools can slip past the blockage in the lower intestine and wind up in your child's diaper.
Read more about what causes constipation and how to relieve your baby's constipation.
Check out our visual baby poop guide to help decode your baby's diaper.
Coughs and colds
It's almost certain that your baby will catch a cold during his first year. There are literally hundreds of viruses that cause colds, and your baby can't fight them off as easily as you can because his immune system is still developing. What's more, babies explore everything with their hands and mouths, giving cold-causing viruses ample opportunity to make their way into your baby's system. Colds are especially common in fall and winter, when babies spend more time indoors – an environment in which viruses can spread more easily from person to person.
The average grown-up gets two to four colds a year; the average child gets six to ten – and up to a dozen when that child is in daycare!
Figuring out whether your baby is battling the common cold, an allergy, or a more serious illness can be tricky. The hallmarks of a cold include a runny nose (with clear or yellowish to greenish mucus), sneezing, and possibly a cough or low fever. More clues:
- Behavior. A child with just a cold is apt to continue playing and eating fairly normally. If it's a more serious illness, he'll likely be less energetic and more cranky.
- Gradual onset. A cold creeps up, worsens, and blows over in about 10 days. Illnesses such as flu often have a rapid onset. Allergies tend to go on and on, and they don't cause a fever.
Read more about how to cut down on coughs and colds, and how to treat them when they do pop up.

Need help with boundary conditions: open to atmosphere
Hi all,
after trying a lot of different setups, it seems that I need some help with the boundary conditions of my problem. I think posting the entire setup here is much too long, so I'm going to attach the whole zipped case.
The setup is as follows, I attach a picture of that in the end. The case is two dimensional and I have two regions, which gives two meshes. It can be described as a sqare with an annulus in the middle. The annulus is rotating with constant speed and has a fixed temperature of 473K. In the middle of the annulus, there's nothing. The surrounding square is filled with air as fluid, only the bottom is considered a wall, left, right and top are open to atmosphere. The fluid has initially a temperature of 300K and I want air that is sucked into the domain to have 300K too. There is no specific inlet or outlet. The only kinematic component of the case is rotation of the annulus. I implemented this, by simply setting a rotatingWallVelocity in the fluid/U file. No mesh movement or the like.
So far, temperature coupling works very well. Considering velocity and pressure, I've got a lot of different results, depending on the boundary conditions. Some results show nearly stable situations, but have strange distortions every now and then. Some results show even more stable situations, but then the simulation explodes suddenly (20% of the solvers log is taken by the last 0.5% of the time simulated). Some of the boundary conditions I considered to be appropriate give strange results, while others which at first don't seem right, produce better results... I'm stuck with too much different setups that I tried...
So here is, what it should look like: (example for a nearly stable solution, but disturbed every now and then)
Yes, I'm looking for a stable (steady state?) solution, but want to calculate time dependent stuff, so I chose chtMultiRegionFoam as solver. I think, there's nothing wrong with that choice and my problem is only related to boundary conditions...
...to be continued...
4 Attachment(s)
Okay, just to give an example, here's a summary of the basic setup for the case which I took the screenshot of...
Remarks: My solid is called "GAL" in my case, fluid is named "FLUID_AMB". I left the comments in the case setup files by intention... With respect to the FLUID_AMB/0/U settings of inletOutlet, I want to explain, that this is just an idea and only one of various combinations I tried. Giving well defined velocity BCs seem to produce far more stable results, although I wanted to have zero (or pressure calculated) inlet velocity...
Solver: chtMultiRegionFoam
System settings

dimensions [1 1 -3 -1 0 0 0];
dimensions [1 -3 0 0 0 0 0];
dimensions [0 0 0 1 0 0 0];
Well, as the upload file size is limited per file, I had to split the archive...
You can easily unpack with this single command line:
$ cat example.tar.gz-a* | tar zxvf -
The case has a ./Allclean script that should clean up everything and a ./Allrun script to run the case.
Note, that the log.blockMesh.* files should not be removed, as the correct settings in constant/*/polyMesh/boundary would have to be set manually afterwards! That's why I included those files (and logfiles) into the package...
So far for now. For those who want to give it a test run, just try the above case files (BCs might slightly differ, as I tried many combinations).
What I tried so far, are different bc setups mostly for U and p_rgh of the fluid.
What should be most appropriate for U at left, right and top boundary, is in my opinion pressureInletOutletVelocity although I'm not sure, whether this would "amplify" a given state of the system and by this lead to instability. The header file for this velocity boundary condition says: "Velocity inlet/outlet boundary condition patches for where the pressure is specified. Zero-gradient is applied for outflow (as defined by the flux) and for inflow the velocity is obtained from the patch-face normal component of the internal-cell value." Sounds nice... but I didn't manage to set it up with a good BC for pressure by now.
Thus I think I need to specify p and/or p_rgh. I found this posting on that subject:
Now... leaving p all calculated and setting left, right and top BC fpr p_rgh to uniformDensityHydrostaticPressure doesn't work... I get very low temperatures and stuff. Maybe setting p to calculated is wrong with that boundary condition? In the above mentioned thread, there's the advice to set pd=0 (in OF 1.5). How to apply this in my case and with respect to OF 1.7?
Cheers & Thanks for reading so far!
P.S.: I hope it's not "too much", but posting less might have lead to further information requests.... so I simply decided to post it all together... :o

BEE Gees legend Robin Gibb was fighting for life in hospital last night — as veteran actor Leslie Phillips cut short his holiday in Ibiza to be at his friend's bedside.
Pop star Robin, 62, is in a coma after contracting pneumonia in his battle against colon and liver cancer.
He and Leslie have been close friends for years and recently interviewed each other on Sky TV's Living The Life show.
Leslie, 87, said: "It saddens me deeply — poor Robin has taken a serious turn for the worse.
"I feel very sad if it is true that he has only days to live."
The stricken star's agent declined to comment on reports that he is close to death.
Robin's wife Dwina, his three children, and brother Barry, 65, have been keeping a constant vigil at the hospital in Chelsea, West London.

Are you trying to grow your blog? Here are some tips for doing just that whether you have a personal or professional blog, are looking for better rankings, or just want to expand your readership.
10 Tips for More Effective Blogging
- Blog frequently. Most people have a reader or blog list that automatically updates. If you don't have a new title pop up, then most people won't click over to you. Plus, the more you write, the more creative you'll be on topics. Even starting out with two consistent days a week is a step in the right direction.
- Keep it short. Your blog is not your diary. Shoot for several shorter posts (300 words) rather than one massive post that even your most faithful reader struggles to finish. Even if it's a big topic, try to find natural breaks for multiple posts. This will probably keep your readers interested, too! Along these lines, try to use headings and to chunk material where possible for best visual effect.
- Stay relevant. It's hard to keep an audience if you don't write about what interests them. Look for interesting articles to post about or topics you think people are interested in. Lastly, use real-life examples to make my posts more readable and relevant for strangers reading my blogs.
- Stay informed. This usually means tuning in to coupons, current events, and pop culture. By writing about a new trend or even a can't-miss-bargain, your chances of being found by new readers are exponentially higher.
- Use high-ranking key terms that will make your blog useful and worthwhile. Focus on hot topics you and your readers are interested in, and use good keywords in the text, title, and tags. This is HUGELY important for professional blogs. There are several tools out there you can use to maximize your SEO. My new favorite is a WP plug-in called Scribe Content Organizer.
- Be an active member in the blogging and social community. That includes Twitter and Facebook. It's super-easy to link to your newest post on Twitter and/or Facebook. What goes around comes around. You can't expect people to read, much less comment on, your blog if you isolate yourself from theirs. You can't read them all, but try to be consistent in who you read, and take the time to write a worthwhile commnt.
- LINK! Most people erroneously assume that their ranking is based on how many people read their blog. Wrong. It's all about links! To get people to link to you, you must be generous in your own linking. First, have worthwhile links as resources in your text. Whether it's a great sale or a project idea, link to reputable and useful sites that other people can't help but reference. Second, link to blogs you'd like to be linked from. If you actively engage in a blog, chances are better that they'll find yours and want to highlight you. Third, ask for links. Don't beg in the comment section (nobody likes spam no matter who you say you are), but be bold when you feel you have something to offer. You may notice a friend is going on vacation- offer to guest post. Or, it may be that a great blogger asks for advice and you have just the answer in a previous post- send her the link!
- Host Give-Aways. They don't have to cost you much. In fact, many companies will sponsor your blog as host for a product. If you are comfortable with that product and would recommend it to a friend, do a give-away! Or, make your own. Here is an example of one I did for my favorite travel sound machine. It's important to be strategic in how you offer entries- for example, enjoy some link love by asking your entrants to link to your give-away post on their blogs and on Facebook, as well as on Twitter. {Notice that I just gave a little link love to that company!}
- Use pictures and images. Whether they're from your own camera, or from a site like Corbis.com, adding a visual appeals to most personalities. If you are promoting a product, be sure to include a picture and not just a link. {Be warned that most photographers would appreciate a "photo credit" linked to their site or name.}
- Join a relevant meme or carnival. Some great mommy carnivals are Menu Plan Monday, Top Ten Tuesday, Works for Me Wednesday, Things I Love Thursday, or Frugal Friday to get more exposure. You'll find new sites you love and also introduce yourself to new readers. Plus, it's a great way to promo something you're selling!
Hopefully, these tips will help you as you give your blog a face lift (like I did) or boost your business. Happy blogging!

Police Patches
Compared to police badges, which have been symbols of authority since at least the mid-19th century, when tin stars differentiated the "good" guys from the "bad" ones in the Wild West, police patches are relatively recent arrivals. In fact, police patches did not become popular in the United States until the 1930s, when insignia for law-enforcement officials were hand embroidered on felt. Eventually the designs and lettering on patches for local, state, and federal peacekeepers were stitched by sewing machines, which brought uniformity to the designs and ubiquity to the genre.
Police patches can be shaped like shields, circles, triangles, and (depending on your locality) arrowheads, keystones, or an officer's home state. Some people collect patches based on geography (for example, all the police badges in Texas) while others collect patches based on the wearer's duties, whether they worked on a bomb squad, S.W.A.T. team, or mounted patrol. Patches showing service in a specialized units such as motorcycle patrols, divisions, or squads are generally more difficult to find (they are certainly pricier) than stock patches, which only vary from area to area by the name of the community being served. Other special-unit patches include those worn by members of Native American "tribal" police officers.
Sheriff and highway-patrol patches are highly collected, as are patches featuring elaborate embroidery (vintage patches from Alaska, Hawaii, and Florida are some of the nicest). And then there are U.S. government police patches, which range from simple patches bearing the letters M.P. for military police to more elaborate designs that herald one's membership in the police units of the U.S. Treasury, Arlington National Cemetery, or even the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Crosswalk Marking Field Visibility Study
Basic information about crosswalk markings is included in part 3 of the MUTCD. Crosswalk markings are to provide guidance for pedestrians crossing roadways by defining and delineating paths on approaches. The amount of research into the effectiveness of pedestrian treatments has increased in recent years, but there had been insufficient research to identify the relative visibility and driver behavior effects of the many different styles and patterns of crosswalk markings used in the United States and abroad. The lack of knowledge of the relative visibility of different marking patterns has inhibited the development of a consensus on whether more uniformity is needed in the form of tighter MUTCD standards or more comprehensive guidance on crosswalk markings.
The objective of this study was to investigate the relative visibility of three crosswalk marking patterns. These patterns were transverse lines, continental, and bar pairs. In general, this study collected information on the distance from the crosswalk when the participant verbally indicated its presence.
In this study, participants drove an instrumented vehicle on a route through the TAMU west campus. The study vehicles were equipped with instrumentation that allowed the researcher to measure and record various driving performance data. However, the vehicle operated and drove like a normal vehicle. The instrumented vehicle recorded the forward view, and experimenters postprocessed the number of pedestrians and bicyclists in the driver's view at the time when the crosswalk was detected. The route included existing midblock and intersection crosswalk markings along with nine locations where crosswalk markings were installed for this project. Street lighting was present at or near all crosswalk sites, and the new sites were selected to have similar street light levels. The crosswalk markings were installed using white removable retroreflective pavement marking tape. Each of the study sites was located at midblock. The markings were 10 ft in length, selected to reflect a typical length used for midblock crossings. The continental and bar pairs stripes were spaced to avoid the wheel paths of vehicles.
The study was conducted under both daytime (sunny and clear or partly cloudy) and nighttime (with street lights on) conditions over two weeks in November 2009. The following divisions were used in structuring participant recruitment:
A total of 78 participants were included in the study, which exceeded the goal of 64 participants. The original goal was to have 32 participants that were age 55 or older. That goal was exceeded with 35 older participants in the study.
The participant drove the initial portion to become familiar with the vehicle. Once the participant was comfortable in the instrumented vehicle and had arrived in a parking lot near the start of the route, the participant was reminded to indicate when he or she saw one of the following items: crosswalk markings, TWLTL arrows, or a speed-limit sign. The arrows and signs were included to ensure that the driver utilized a normal eye glance pattern and was not exclusively searching for crosswalks. As soon as the driver said "crosswalk," the rear seat experimenter pressed the appropriate button to place a mark in the computer file to indicate detection.
To ensure consistency, the research team used checklists and slide shows to aid in providing instructions to each participant. As part of the in-processing, the participant's and experimenter's response times were measured using a computer test, and a correction factor was developed for each driver to account for the lag between the time the driver verbally responded and the time the experimenter pressed the data recorder button. A more detailed review of the response time data indicated that adjusting the detection distance should occur uniquely for each participant rather than using a per experimenter's average response time. For the nine crosswalks installed for this study, the adjustments to the participant's detection distance ranged between 3 and 13 percent.
After completing the initial route, the participant was given additional instructions and asked to drive the same route again to rate each crosswalk marking on how easy it was to see using a scale of A (excellent) to F (completely unacceptable).
The primary objective of this study was to determine the detection distance of a crosswalk and to identify the variables that affect this distance. The differences in detection distances were evaluated with consideration of the following:
Initially, a statistical model was examined that contained main effects and reasonable two–way interactions (termed the "extended" model). Not all variables could be included in the extended model due to exact linear dependency issues (i.e., a linear combination of one or more factors can exactly duplicate another factor's values). Next, several models were explored to determine the best model to describe the variables that influence detection distance (termed the "reduced" model). Interactions were dropped from the models when the p–value was less than 0.05 (i.e., they were not statistically significant).
Preliminary evaluations demonstrated that the analyses needed to be conducted separately for the study sites (where the markings were installed new at midblock locations) and the existing sites (where the markings were already present at an intersection or midblock with pedestrian warning signs). The preliminary evaluations also clearly showed a difference in detection distance for day and night. Since the nighttime condition had an additional variable (retroreflectivity) to consider and some of the variables were believed to have different effects during the night (such as marking type, vehicle type, and driver eye height), separate analyses were done for daytime and nighttime conditions. In all combinations, daytime detection distances were longer than nighttime detection distances.
For the study sites, the marking type (bar pair, continental, or transverse) was statistically significant. The detection distances to bar pairs and continental markings were similar, and they were statistically different from the detection distance to the transverse markings both during the day and at night.
For the study sites, the presence of traffic had an impact on detection distance, in most cases limiting the ability to see the markings farther upstream, as expected. The impact of traffic on the transverse markings was minimal, as the detection distance to these markings was already small compared to the detection distances for bar pairs or continental. Overall, shorter detection distances were associated with higher operating speeds. However, in most cases it was only slightly shorter detection distances. The characteristics of the streets also influenced the detection of the crosswalk markings. An unexpected result was that the street group with a posted speed limit of 45 mi/h had longer nighttime adjusted detection distances for the higher speeds. This was opposite the finding for daytime conditions; daytime adjusted detection distances were (slightly) shorter for the higher speeds. Variables that included gender, driver eye height, and vehicle type as part of an interaction term were found to be statistically significant; however, closer examination found them to not be of practical significance.
Age (younger versus older) was only a significant factor during the day for the existing sites; however, the size of this difference was quite small and was not considered to be of practical significance. Variables that included gender, driver eye height, and vehicle type as part of an interaction term were found to be statistically significant; however, closer examination found them to not be of practical significance.
For the existing sites, marking type had a significant effect on detection distance during the daytime and the nighttime. There were no existing sites with bar pairs markings, hence only continental and transverse types of markings were compared. During the day, the detection distances to the continental or transverse markings at intersections were not significantly different. The detection distance to midblock continental was statistically different (longer) from the detection distance to midblock transverse markings.
During nighttime conditions at existing sites, variables in addition to marking type had an effect on detection distances, such as location (midblock or intersection) and driver speed. Driver speeds had mixed effects on detection distance depending on location (intersection or midblock) and light level (day or night). For intersections, an increase in driver speed was associated with longer detection distances for both daytime and nighttime conditions. All of the intersections included in this project were either stop–controlled or signal–controlled. Several drivers appeared to be more focused on the stop maneuver than the detection task and would not call out the recognition of a crosswalk until close to the stop bar.
For midblock (or uncontrolled approaches) the finding was dependent on light level. Nighttime detection distance at midblock was similar to intersections; longer detection distances were associated with the higher speeds. For daytime the opposite occurred; higher driver speeds were associated with shorter detection distances at the midblock crosswalks. While the higher driver speeds were associated with shorter detection distances, the differences were small and would not be considered of practical difference.
The conclusions from this project are as follows:
Based on the findings from this research, the researchers recommend revising the MUTCD in the following ways:

Steck crumpled to the moraine, and it looked as though he'd be bludgeoned to death.
moraine mounds are quite numerous in the valleys, and have frequently been the cause of small lakes.
I had not known that I lived on a moraine, and now that I knew it, I did not care.
The pebbles and boulders too heavy to be washed away remained behind to form the moraine.
Toward evening I clambered down to the cottage by moraine Lake.
I descended the moraine, the smell of the smoke guiding me towards the rock under which I was to pass the night.
A descent of 600 feet in the next two miles takes us to moraine Meadows.
Behind the moraine is a lake-bed, now converted into a meadow, which is quite level, and rests on a deep layer of mould.
At the lower end of the moraine of a glacier stood a solitary tent.
"It is on the moraine," the men said, with awe-struck looks at one another.
"ridge of rock deposited by a glacier," 1789, from French moraine (18c.), from Savoy dialect morena "mound of earth," from Provençal morre "snout, muzzle," from Vulgar Latin *murrum "round object," of unknown origin, perhaps from a pre-Latin Alpine language. Related: Morainal; morainic.
A mass of till (boulders, pebbles, sand, and mud) deposited by a glacier, often in the form of a long ridge. Moraines typically form because of the plowing effect of a moving glacier, which causes it to pick up rock fragments and sediments as it moves, and because of the periodic melting of the ice, which causes the glacier to deposit these materials during warmer intervals. ◇ A moraine deposited in front of a glacier is a terminal moraine. ◇ A moraine deposited along the side of a glacier is a lateral moraine. ◇ A moraine deposited down the middle of a glacier is a medial moraine. Medial moraines are actually the combined lateral moraines of two glaciers that have merged.
A pile of debris, often extending for miles, deposited by a glacier. It is composed of rock fragments transported by the ice, which are left behind when the ice melts.

Here are things I like: video games, horror movies, British television, good books, hanging out with kids, museums of any kind, old movies, volunteering, having too many pets, sarcasm, penguins, cartoons, big cities, puppets and animatronics, video editing, mostly pointless yet overly passionate conversations, and cuddling with boys.
Here are things I don't like: People who are mean for no reason, stabbing myself in the eye with an eyeliner pencil, the movie Moulin Rouge!, the word "guesstimate," spiders, that part in every action game where your character gets captured and you lose all your stuff for forty minutes and you worry that the game will glitch and you'll never get it all back, earbud style headphones, and sunsets after it rains and the sky's that really weird pinkish-purplish color, that creeps me right the hell out.
I think that about covers everything.
Also I have some meaningless job or another. Eventually I'll get sick of mindless jobs and go back to school for cosmetology, like I've always sworn I'd do but haven't followed through with because most beauty school students are basically velociraptors with hair extensions. Not nerdy awkward girls who think makeup is neat, like me.
In my spare time I attempt to do creative things, mostly with writing or video making. You may have caught that interview I did when I did the late night talk show circuit in my imagination.
TV: I watch a lot of things, but I'll especially watch anything animated, from The Simpsons to Adventure Time. I love shows from Britain (like everyone else who's cool), and I'm still a diehard Buffy fan. I also like anime, but like I don't shout "kawaii" or anything. Anymore. Much.
Movies: I lean toward horror mostly, but I also have a particular love for older movies, like pre-80s. And I like so-bad-they're-good movies. But I'm up for literally anything, and I have my guilty pleasure favorite action movie, romcom, kids movie, etc. Movies are just fun all around to me.
Video games: My favorites are horror games, old school style adventure games, and weird indie snobby "art games." But I won't turn down a Half-Life or a Metal Gear Solid, either! But I WILL turn down a Halo or a Call Of Duty, and I will totally cop that it's because I absolutely suck at playing them.
Food: Thai, Mexican, Chinese.
2. My iPhone. Obvs.
3. Cardigans, because they make it look like you're wearing a coordinated, fashionable outfit that you actually put thought into putting together when literally all you did was put on one extra article of clothing.
4. Extension cords.
5. My carefully organized shelves of books, movies, and video games.
6. Sarcasm.
And obviously there's a lot of people who are incredibly important to me, my friends, my Dad, my gramma, plus my dog and cat, but that's boring to list those kinds of things.
More often than not getting sucked into the rabbit hole that is the internet.
And by "cool" I mean "geeky and kind of socially awkward, but in an endearing way."
Also if you're not freaked out by me being transgender. If you're freaked out by me being transgender, then you probably shouldn't message me.
Also you shouldn't message me if you're freaked out by sexy vampire black magic space women.
Ok, ok, I'm not actually a sexy vampire black magic space woman.
I was just trying to impress you :(

text: I recently installed a Pro-Kit on my car. As #1 recomendation I took it to a shop to get it aligned. I didn't get new CC plates because I've heard many arguments that with such a small drop 1'-1.5' its not really needed to get new ones. They told me I would need new "camber" bolts.. I think that's how you spell it. to properly align the car. At first I thought he meant CC plates. Which I don't really have a clue of what they do.But no it's camber bolts. I asked him if I would need new CC plates, since it's what everyone preaches here after new springs, he said "NO" because they are usually changed when a vehicle has been on a wreck or something like that. We'll it's going to cost me $160 with alignenment and new camber bolts. Does it sound reasonable?

Yes, characters 192 through 255 (except 215 & 247) should be accented
letters, but the program treats them as control characters. I forgot
to mention that you must give the locale as an argument to the program,
or set the LOCALE environment variable, for this program to use it.
If you did one of these, and got the results above, the locale doesn't
work, so try others until you find one that does. If none work, you're
probably out of luck.

Last week against the Calgary Stampeders, the Saskatchewan Roughriders had Jon Cornish squarely in their sights.
Head coach Cory Chamblin challenged his defence to hold the CFL's leading rusher to less than 100 yards. Cornish managed just 67, and the Riders won 30-25.
This Saturday it isn't that simple. Saskatchewan (6-6) hosts the league-leading B.C. Lions (9-3), who have plenty of offensive weapons that need attention.
"They have a number of different talents," Chamblin said, "and they're probably the best team in the league at using all their talents."
Lions' quarterback Travis Lulay has a variety of weapons at his disposal. On the ground he has dangerous running back Andrew Harris, and through the air his receiving corps features Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce III.
As far as Odell Willis is concerned, however, the focus remains the same. The Riders' defensive end has one thing on his mind, and that's sacking the quarterback.
The fact that Keron Williams of the Lions is currently leading the CFL in that department with eight sacks merely provides additional inspiration for Willis, who has six.
"I feel like that's my crown," said Willis, who posted 13 sacks last season as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. "That's one of my personal goals, being on top."
If there's a drawback to the veteran rush end it's that he also has a habit of taking penalties for roughing the quarterback.
"He just has to find more control and more balance," Chamblin said of Willis. "He has to get these things cleaned up, and we'll continue to work with him to make him a better player."
Willis is aware of the head coach's concerns, and seems resolved to helping his team cut back on the costly penalties. But he's equally determined not to compromise the full-speed-ahead approach he takes the game.
"Hopefully when I get there it'll be a sack instead of 15 yards," he said. "You have to keep playing relentlessly. Whatever happens happens."
In turns of sheer mobility, Willis ranks Lulay third among CFL quarterbacks, behind Henry Burris of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the man he considers the most dangerous scrambler in the league — Saskatchewan's Darian Durant.
Durant has been slowed down recently by a hip flexor, but the injury is no longer a factor when it comes to deciding whether to use his arm or his legs.
"If the opportunity presents itself, I will (run)," he said.
Durant expressed confidence in what he described as a "dynamic backfield" featuring Korey Sheets and Jock Sanders, and he is becoming increasing more comfortable with the team's newest receiver, Greg Carr.
Carr has good speed, and he also happens to stand six-foot-six, which gives him a height advantage over most of the league's defensive backs.
"I think he's coming along really well. He's a smart guy. He's a football player," Durant said. "All you have to do is put the ball up somewhere and he'll go up and get it."
Chamblin is likewise pleased with Carr's progress.
"There's a chemistry that's working there," he said.
The plan is to deploy Carr at wide receiver for the moment and eventually move him to a slotback position.
"As long as it helps the team, I'm all for it," said Carr, who is happy to make any contribution he can to the playoff drive, large or small. "Whenever the ball is in my hands, I've got to feel like maybe it's going to be the only time it's in my hands. I have to make the most of it."
A former Winnipeg Blue Bomber and Edmonton Eskimo, Carr had one reception for nine yards in Saskatchewan's 30-25 victory over the Stampeders last week.
"I'm feeling more comfortable, I'm feeling more ready," he said. "It's time to go out and be the kind of football player I know I can be."Report Typo/Error

It not only more than doubled the speeds of many of its tiers, but the broadband and telecommunications giant also added two new tiers to the list as well
Verizon has finally released prices for its
updated FiOS Internet tiers
, and gave its new service a name -- FiOS Quantum.
FiOS Quantum not only more than doubled the speeds of many of its tiers, but the broadband and telecommunications giant also added two new tiers to the list as well.
Verizon said its entry-level options would remain the same, such as the 15/5 Mbps, 25/25 Mbps, 35/35 Mbps, 50/20 Mbps and 150/35 Mbps tiers, but its updated
FiOS Internet tiers
will consist of 50/25 Mbps and 150/65 download/upload speeds. The two new tiers feature 75/35 Mbps or 300/65 Mbps speeds, where the 300/65 tier is double that of the current FiOS Internet top speed (which is 150/35 Mbps).
Now, Verizon has released pricing for its FiOS Quantum Internet services. Prices for the 15/5 Mbps monthly packages are as follows: $99.99 to $144.99 (depending on the package) for triple-play bundles of 15/5 Mbps FiOS Internet, FiOS TV, and FiOS Digital Voice unlimited; $84.99 to $129.99 (depending on the package) for double-play bundles of 15/5 Mbps FiOS Internet and FiOS TV; $64.99 for stand-alone 15/5 Mbps services with two-year contract and $69.99 on a month-to-month basis.
For monthly 50/25 Mbps speeds, a triple-play bundle will range from $109.99 to $149.99 while a double-play will cost $94.99 to $134.99, a stand-alone will cost $79.99 and a stand-alone with a two-year contract will run $74.99.
For monthly 75/35 Mbps speeds, a triple-play bundle will range from $114.99 to $154.99 while a double-play will cost $99.99 to $139.99, a stand-alone will cost $89.99 and a stand-alone with a two-year contract will run $84.99.
For monthly 150/65 Mbps speeds, a triple-play bundle will range from $169.99 to $174.99 while a double-play will cost $154.99 to $159.99, a stand-alone will cost $99.99 and a stand-alone with a two-year contract will run $94.99.
Finally, the fastest 300/65 option will have one price of $209.99, or $204.99 with a two-year contract.
Each tier is targeted at a specific audience. The layout is as follows: 15/5 Mbps for a one or two person household for just email and Web browsing; 50/25 Mbps for a multi-person household that downloads music,
watches videos
and telecommutes; 75/35 Mbps for households that have three or more people on Internet-connected devices, stream HD movies, and play multi-player gaming, and 150/65 and 300/65 for households with five or more heavy Internet users.

Your QuickBooks Customer : Job field just got smarter!
If your small business does client-centered work (and who doesn't), you are no doubt familiar with the QuickBooks Customer : Job field. Whether you are spending time with a client (time activity), driving to them for a meeting (mileage expense), or incurring a routine expense while working on a deliverable (regular expense)… well, whatever you are doing, you'll want to make sure that Customer : Job field in QuickBooks is filled out correctly.
Customer : Job – Why does it matter?
Your CPA or ProAdvisor has probably already shared a variety of the reasons why this is crucial to get right in QuickBooks. Amongst the reasons, are these:
- Job Costing: You can't possibly get that right, if Customer : Job is ill maintained.
- Capitalizing R&D: No chance you'll be able to capitalize correctly, if you don't keep track of what got worked on when, and by whom.
- Invoicing: Your business likes to generate revenue, right? The QuickBooks Customer : Job field is the key to a detailed and complete invoice to your clients.
QuickBooks Customer : Job – Made Easier
So, with all of this talk about QuickBooks Customer : Job being very important to your company's financials on multiple dimensions, why are we all still filling out our QuickBooks Customer : Job field manually? If it's so important, isn't there some automatic way to fill it out? Until today, the answer would have been 'no'. However, we now have a better answer.
When you go to file a new expense in the ProOnGo web app (time, mileage, regular expenses), you'll notice something new when you click on the Customer:Job drop-down. There will be a hover that appears just above the drop-down, that uses QuickBooks Customer:Job addresses to estimate the closest Customer:Job to your current location. You can simply tap "Choose" to use that Customer:Job:
In the future, we may even automatically select the nearest Customer:Job for you (rather than having the hover) — we're waiting to hear your feedback first — then we'll improve this feature further!

ITU-T's Study Group 15 has
fast tracked a standard that significantly reduces costs for operators rolling
out fibre to the home (FTTH). The new Recommendation G.657
"Characteristics of a Bending Loss Insensitive Single Mode Optical Fibres
and Cables for the Access Network" gives fiber optic cable similarly
flexible characteristics to copper meaning that it can be much more easily
deployed in the street, in the building and in the home.
This increased flexibility in
a fibre optic cable means that operators can follow tighter corners in
buildings, can employ less-skilled labor in deploying the cable and can worry
less if cables / fibres are laid with a sharp bend. This all makes installation
work more engineer friendly leading also to less re-work. Moreover the closures
for fibres can be half the size, important where space is at a premium for
example in an apartment building.
The new standard, which allows
optical fibres to flex and bend more than the previous standardized types has
achieved consent nearly a year earlier than was expected. This has been due to
a push by operators planning the introduction of FTTH. Operators are keen that
manufacturers around the world immediately start producing fibres
according to the specification with clear advantages in terms of flexibility of
deployment and cost reduction.
Many telcos have plans to roll
out FTTH. The number of FTTH users in Japan exceeded 6 million as of mid
2006. According to experts the impetus for the work came from Japan, followed by the USA, but there
is now much interest from European operators.

Given a
belief that many new technologies find life in the minds of the academic world,
ITU is increasingly looking to attract more involvement from the world's
universities and other academic institutions. There are already many examples
of this policy bearing fruit. Some standards that have emerged from ITU study
groups have been heavily influenced by academic involvement. However often this
is not recognized because academia has frequently chosen to participate under
the banner of an organization other than its own. Exploration of how these
important contributions can be better recognized will also be on the agenda.
can benefit from participation in the standards making process by becoming part
of an international 'club' of ICT experts. Among ITU's key attractions are its
truly international scope and its role as the architect behind many modern
communication systems. All major ICT companies are ITU Sector Members. There
can be no more enlightening a window on the world of ICT development. The
opportunity to be part of a team that creates a worldwide standard provides an
exciting opportunity for any university. For these reasons and others this
consultation meeting will be an excellent opportunity for university representatives
to explore ways to increase university involvement in ITU-T's work.
requests the input of universities on how best to further the relationship
between ITU-T and academia for the benefit of both parties. See webpage
for documents submitted so far and for details and how to contribute.
A new tool
that will give a unique overview of ITU-T's next generation network (NGN) work
has gone live. The NGN Project Management Tool, was
developed with the support of a voluntary contribution from Siemens.
Since the
work towards standards for NGN is taking place across a number of different
ITU-T study groups and other standards development organizations (SDOs) the
ability to coordinate and view all NGN work in one place will be invaluable to
the swift and efficient publication of NGN specifications.
Essentially a repository of
information from ITU and other SDOs, the system was asked for by members of the
various Study Groups working on NGN. Key will be the ability to keep track of
the latest versions of Recommendations and provide detailed information for
experts and summaries for management.
ITU-T will host the annual Broadband Europe
conference 11-14 Dec 2006.
BBEurope is an annual event which was initiated by the FP6-BREAD-project
(broadband for all in Europe: a
multi-disciplinary approach), part of the "BroadBand for
All"-strategic objective of the European Commission.
Peter Van Daele, Project Leader BREAD: "The concept of "Broadband For All"
refers to a situation in which broadband is not only available to every
citizen, but is actually used by all of them. In that respect it is a more
demanding concept than the traditional universal service obligation in
telephony, which merely stipulates the availability, at certain conditions, of
a given service. The usage of information and communication technologies via
broadband infrastructures by all citizens is a policy objective because it is
considered to be a key component of transforming Europe
into a knowledge-based society, thus enhancing economic growth and increasing
The BREAD project has amongst its objectives to develop a holistic vision
encompassing technical, as well as economical and regulatory aspects. Another
important aspect is of identifying roadblocks on European, national/regional
level and share visions and best practices on national level to EU level.
BBEurope brings together on an international level all the BroadBand players,
researchers, service providers, content providers, operators, manufacturers,
policy makers, standardisation bodies, professional organisations.
A diverse agenda will cover topics including NGN, IPTV, wireless access,
powerline, security, QoS, and broadband in rural areas. The event will conclude
with a panel discussion titled: Future Perspectives in Broadband. A 'full
preliminary' programme is available from the event's website, with the
call for papers ending November 10 when a programme committee will make a final
selection of the papers.
MacDonald, a member of the ITU team that created the new VDSL 2
standard, will take part in an upcoming Webinar
on this topic, Tuesday, November 21. The Webinar, the second on the topic that
ITU has contributed to, will outline what VDSL2 is, which are its competitive
differentiators and benefits, and how it allows service providers to compete
with cable and satellite operators - by enabling the delivery of enhanced
voice, video and data services over a standard copper telephone cable.
(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a product of ITU-T, ITU's standardization arm, and
is the world's most widely deployed broadband access technology. It has
enhanced users' experience of the Internet, provided access to digitized
content, and fuelled the delivery of streaming video and the development of
online gaming by offering downstream data rates of up to 8 Mbit/s. Today, service providers must ensure their DSL offerings can
compete against other market options from cable operators. One way to do so, is
by offering services over VDSL2 (ITU-T Recommendation G.993.2) - very
high-speed DSL - a new version of DSL, which gives service providers the
ability to deliver even higher bandwidth and more enhanced services to consumer
and business customers.
up to 100 Mbit/s both up and downstream, a tenfold increase over ADSL
(Asymmetric DSL) VDSL2 provides for so-called fiber-extension, bringing
fiber-like bandwidth to premises not directly connected to the fiber optic
segment of a telecom company's network. By deploying VDSL2 operators expect to
be able to offer services such as high-definition TV (HDTV), video-on-demand,
videoconferencing, high-speed Internet access, and advanced voice services.
Importantly VDSL 2 offers carriers a solution that is interoperable with the
DSL equipment many already have in place. In addition, VDSL 2 will work with
both legacy ATM networks and next generation IP-based networks.

An ITU-T and OASIS workshop on public warning, October, attracted 80
participants and saw agreement on a number of ways forward. The event signaled
a further stepping-up of cooperation between the two organizations.
The OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), which was successfully
demonstrated at the event, has been submitted to ITU for international
standardization, officials from both organizations confirmed. Publication as an
ITU-T Recommendation will help ensure that CAP is deployed worldwide giving
technical compatibility for users across all countries. This action had strong support
from the workshop.
The goal of public warning is to reduce the damage and loss of life
caused by a natural or man-made hazard event. CAP allows a warning message to
be consistently disseminated simultaneously over many warning systems to many
Attendees, from policy makers to manufacturers to personnel involved in
emergency management also agreed among other things to: "Coordinate actions
among all relevant players to ensure that standards-based, all-media,
all-hazards public warning becomes an essential infrastructure component
through platforms such as the Telecommunications for Disaster Relief and
Mitigation - Partnership Co-ordination Panel (PCP-TDR)".
The workshop produced a number of other proposals, which will shortly
be available from the event's website.
In a separate announcement, OASIS said that it was happy to welcome ITU
as an event supporter for its upcoming Adoption Forum, London, 27-29 November.
ITU members are invited to attend the conference, titled Managing Secure
Interactions in Sector Applications, at the reduced rate of EUR100 per day.
The announcements follow the June 2006 approval as internationally
recognized ITU-T Recommendations of OASIS' SAML as ITU-T X.1141 (Security
Assertion Markup Language) and XACML as ITU-T X.1142 (Extensible Access Control
Markup Language). See previous story.
Telecom World, December 4-8, Kong
Kong will see ITU-T members, and guests stage an interoperability showcase for
fibre to the premises (FTTP) related standards.
On show will be gigabit passive
optical network (G-PON) equipment built according to the ITU-T G.984
Recommendation. PON technology is used in the local loop to connect residential
and SME end users premises in an all-fibre network.
The G-PON Pavilion features live
demonstrations of G-PON equipment interoperability; with interoperability being
a critical enabler to reducing G-PON equipment costs. Triple-play
interoperability demonstrations are provided by the following device and
equipment manufactures: AMCC, Cambridge Industries Group, Ericsson, FlexLight
Networks, Fujitsu Network Communications, Hitachi, LS Cable, Mitsubishi
Electric, NEC, Terawave Communications, and ZTE.
With PONs, signals are carried by
lasers and sent to their destination without the need for active electronics.
Carriers can realize significant savings with fiber sharing in the distribution
network, equipment sharing in the Central Office and by eliminating the
dependence on expensive active network elements.
ITU-T Recommendations in the G.984
series detail gigabit PONs (G-PON), the latest generation of PON technology.
Increasing capacity to gigabit levels should more than satisfy foreseeable
customer demands, offering video applications, high-speed Internet access,
multimedia and other high-bandwidth capabilities. G-PON maintains the same
optical distribution network, wavelength plan and full-service network design
principles of broadband PONs (B-PON) defined in ITU-T Rec G.983. As well as
allowing for increased network capacity, the new standard offers more efficient
IP and Ethernet handling.
A recent report from industry
analyst Gartner says that the number of households around the world subscribing
to IPTV services offered by telecom carriers will reach 48.8 million in 2010. Buoyed
by new service launches, IPTV subscribers will more than double in 2007 from an
expected 6.4 million in 2006 to 13.3 million according to Gartner.
agree that it is imperative that standards needs are met if these impressive
figures are to be achieved.
A key
achievement at the FG IPTV meeting in Korea was progress towards an
standardized IPTV architecture: The group agreed that IPTV architecture shall
allow for both NGN and non-NGN approaches to IPTV, and within the NGN-approach,
include both IMS and non-IMS based approaches.
Koleyni, chair of the group: "I am particularly happy that we have achieved so
much progress in Working Group 1 (service requirements and architecture). The
level of participation in this group is growing and progress is overall good. But
requirements and architecture are of such fundamental importance that getting a
fix on these points, at this stage, is very satisfying. In order to gain
momentum here we will convene an electronic meeting looking specifically at
requirements and architecture, 18-21 December."
The Korea meeting
agreed on the following definition of IPTV: "IPTV is defined as multimedia
services such as television/video/ audio/text/graphics/data delivered over IP
based networks managed to provide the required level of QoS/QoE, security,
interactivity and reliability."
The next
face-to-face meeting of the FG IPTV is scheduled for 22-26 January 2007 at the
Microsoft facilities , Mountain View, California, USA
(Silicon Valley) at the kind invitation of Alliance for Telecommunications Industry
Solutions (ATIS).
The FG
IPTV meeting was preceded by an ITU-T workshop. The event
attended by over 400 and held in Seoul
provided a view and examination of IPTV standardization, political and regulatory
aspects, business models and various case studies as well as technical
developments and service provider's operational aspects. A roundtable
discussion at the event concluded that global standardisation and
interoperability are key for further development of IPTV worldwide. Other
issues that might be further discussed at an international level, according to
the roundtable's twenty participants, include digital rights management (DRM).

I'm using the Bt3b on my new eeepc but I can't make kismet work... can anyone show me the kismet.conf used or any idea I missed for doing it????
I think pound for pound though muts, I still got you beat with the Sony UX280P... although soon enough I'll be able to get my hands on some Chinese OEM smartphone sized hardware that will set a new benchmark for the smallest platform running BT3
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
I'm using the Bt3b on my new eeepc but I can't make kismet work... can anyone show me the kismet.conf used or any idea I missed for doing it????
sorry, I think the trouble has been solved.
It was that I didn't configure the kismet.conf properly.
Just used kismet -c madwifi_g,wifi0,wifi0 and it seems to work but the signal level is quite short isn't it?
Thanks and... search for other mechanich less expensive
I'll crosspost this to the BT3 thread at EEEUser...
Just got the "real" install of BT3 working on the EEEPC's SSHD.
Initially i tried the USB version - took 3.4 of 3.6 GB available, and would not boot correctly (kept looking for the BT3 module directory). I thought I could probably solve that with a new initrd, but for some reason BT3 is missing the mkinitrd script.
Compiz worked well, except for some minor sync issues on startup, but I decided to revert to the CD version because of the space issue on my 4G EEE PC.
I installed the CD version to a SD chip, which went very well, although you need to run "bootinst.sh" from the /boot directory at the end to get SYSLINUX working with all the cool options. The CD version used ~740 meg of the 1G SD chip and ran and loaded fine.
Next I booted the EEE PC from the SD chip, and installed using the BT3 installer to the SSHD. I deleted the two stock linux partitions and made one larger one - it turned out to be 3.6G. There are two other Windows partitions on the HD, but I got the impression they are associated with the bios, so I didn't mess with them.
The automatic install from the CD-version on the SD chip went smoothly. It installed LILO with no initrd, and I had to add "noatime" to /etc/fstab - now we'll see how long the SSHD lasts. It used 2.8G of the of the 3.6G available - much better than the USB version.
Everything works - kismet didn't come up from the menus, but that's because the kismet.conf is not configured for the atheros device. I'm going to work on that shortly.
No problems with the atheros card - in fact it works better than it did under Xandros - and everything else seems to work properly as well. The "Konqueror issue" has to do (from what I saw) with how the SSHD works, not with Konqueror, and Amarok seems to work as well.
Although ACPI works, it seems to report the wrong times for battery life under KDE. I'm going to work on that as well.
Overall - I'm thrilled. This is what I really wanted the EEE PC to do. Next I'm going to put in an 8G SD chip and maybe install the USB version on that for comparison.
My initial setup:
Wiped Xandros, installed XP (fat32) on 4 GB solid state disk. Minimised it using xplite.
Bought a 1GB SD SD card, copied BT3 and boot directories to it (fat32). Ran bootinst.sh from the SD card.
Now I have XP and liveSD boot options, via bios.
I will be getting my RAM upgrade and a 16 GB SDHC card in a week or so - more updates then.
I think this is an easy fix, but i haven't got it fixed yet...
Everytime I shut down BT3 (from the SSHD), I get a "could not unmount /, file system busy" error.
The next time I boot, the SSHD reports "not cleanly unmounted" and fsck runs automatically.
I'm sure this is an init and fstab issue - but I haven't found what to change to fix it yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I'd like to point out that part of the reason BT3 works "out of the box" on the Eee is due to the research and work done with the wifi drivers, particularly getting injection to work. At the time the Eee was introduced it's wifi drivers weren't public, and we scrambled with the help of madwifi.org to make something available. After the drivers were proven, they were included in BT3beta a couple of days before it's release. The research was being documented as it happened in this thread, http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=9005
Damn! Soon as BT3beta release, I had to go away for the weekend and miss all the initial buzz!
Still, now I've got lots of catching up to keep me happy for a day or so........
Great to see the eeepc/BT3beta shaping up so nicely!
I read a review somewhere (newegg, I think) that said that even though the device supports up to 2GB RAM, the default linux install only supports 1GB. Has anyone put BT on one of these with 2GB RAM? Is the RAM upgrade even really necessary with such a fast SSD harddrive?

More than 1,600 took public tour of St. Joes West 5th campus

 By Mark Newman, News Staff

Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews are slated to be on hand this morning for the official opening of Joseph Healthcare Hamilton's new $581 million, 305 patient mental health hospital at West 5th and Fennell.

The ceremony and brief tour are slated for 10 a.m.

Meanwhile a bit of snow and cold temperatures didn't stop the public from coming out to have a look at the Mountain's newest hospital last weekend.

 "People were so excited," said hospital spokesperson Teresa Mostert after 1,683 people joined one of the many guided tours of the facility that was turned over to St. Joes by the construction consortium in December. "We received many positive comments."

Many were amazed by the large windows that are spread throughout the hospital that allow 70 percent of the building to get natural sunlight.

"We really want to invite the community to come in and use the spaces that are in the public side," said Mostert.

Areas available to the public when the hospital opens next month include the ground floor cafeteria near the out-patient entrance off Fennell, a 300 seat auditorium and eventually a 5,900 square-foot gymnasium on the second floor which will have separate public access.

There are five in-patient units; Mountain, Waterfall, Orchard, Harbour North and Harbour East.

"They all representHamiltonfeatures and they were picked specifically to do that," said Mostert, who noted each unit comes with a different colour and each unit has its own dinning area.

Far less institutional-looking than the former Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital next door, the new West 5th campus features 16 courtyards, a recreation centre, a chapel that can accommodate 75 people, a pedestrian plaza and a museum featuring the history of mental health services inHamilton.

Mostert noted patients with medical approval will access their rooms using a hotel-like swipe card which will also enable them to visit other parts of the hospital including the gym and rec centre.

Each ward features a main desk with a number of computer screens that enables hospital staff to keep tabs on what's happening in that area.

In the event of a leak or other problem in one of the bathrooms, staff can shut off water to that bathroom from the desk.

The system also enables staff that needs assistance to contact the desk via a mobile devise and their picture and location in the unit appears on one of the computer screens.

There are some 500 security cameras scattered around the hospital, but there are no cameras in the patient rooms or in one of the four apartment units that will be used to help transition patients back to the community.

In addition to mental health services, the hospital features community diagnostic services such as MRI, breast imaging, x-ray and ultrasound.

Services from the old West 5th campus have begun moving into the new hospital.

About 200 patients will be moved on Feb. 9 and the hospital will be operational the next day.

Starting in March the old hospital buildings will be demolished and replaced by a soccer pitch, baseball diamond, walking paths and parking.

The new hospital is officially known as the Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre for Integrated Healthcare in recognition of the couple's $10 million gift to a St. Joes' fundraising campaign in 2011.
