Economic crisis has affected many markets worldwide, and there is of course global uncertainty. This scenario can be reflected in the numbers of application of IP in their respective offices.
In Brazil we learned that patent applications remain high – for both: foreign and domestic patent applications. The Brazilian Instituto Nacional da Propiedade Industrial (INPI) reports that the increase is of 6% compared to previous year (i.e. 2011). Moreover, it states that the "number of applications has been rising since 2010, after the fall observed between 2008 and 2009 due to the first impact of the international economic crisis. Since 2009, the cumulative increase in patent applications is nearly 30%."
INPI clarifies that several factors such as a growth in domestic innovation through research centres (attracting foreigners to the country), and companies, universities and research centres working on innovation. INPI, trying to encourage further application, especially from small and medium enterprises, is preparing to launch the e-patent system this year.
However, the case of applications has not been the same for trade marks. In 2012 INPI saw a decline in the number of applications (negative growth of 2% comparing to previous year). Yet, micro and small businesses, as well as individual entrepreneurs, increased their applications by 30%. INPI explains that the economic crisis has led many businesses "to postpone investment and thereby not launching new products and brands."

Dear Reader - We did not get a great deal of snow last night, but we got a very heavy snow, heavy enough to evidently interfere with the delivery of electricity to my now quite cold and internet-less home. I am writing this morning from a nearby coffee shop with free wi-fi. Gonna head back and see if the electricity is back on and let the dogs play in the snow a bit so blogging may be erratic today.

- 2 large Idaho potatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil plus 1/4 cup olive oil or 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces thickly sliced pancetta, cut into 1/4 -inch-thick strips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 1/2 pound frisée, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup shaved fresh Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Preheat the oven to 375°. Bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Let cool slightly, then peel and pass them through a ricer or coarse sieve into a bowl. Stir in the cream, egg yolks, Parmesan, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of the dough into a 16-inch-long rope, about 1/2 inch wide. Cut crosswise into 3/4 -inch pieces. Lightly dust with flour and roll each piece down the back of a fork with your thumb to make long grooves on the gnocchi. Spread the gnocchi on a floured baking sheet. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Cook the gnocchi in 2 batches in a saucepan of boiling salted water until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water, then to paper towels.
In a bowl, season the sherry vinegar with salt and pepper. Whisk in the truffle and olive oils.
Preheat the oven to 500°. In a nonreactive skillet, cook the pancetta over moderately high heat, stirring, until crisp and browned. Transfer to a plate and discard the fat. Add the butter to the skillet, and when it is golden, add the gnocchi. Cook until they brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Put the skillet in the oven and roast for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until browned all over. Add to the pancetta.
Add the shallot to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the gnocchi, pancetta and the sherry vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the frisée with the gnocchi mixture and then with the dressing. Mound the salad on 8 plates. Garnish with the Parmesan shavings and chives and serve.

Officials Stress Preparation for Upcoming Storms
City, state and federal officials have their emergency plans in place for the coming storms and they're urging you to also plan ahead. Many residents were heeding the call to prepare early. Monday, Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club and other big box stores were filled with shoppers stocking up on supplies. Remember, you should have supplies for seven days. That means you need one gallon of water per day for each person, as well as food, medications, batteries, flashlights or lanterns, a radio, first-aid kit, then any bedding you may need - like a sleeping bag and pillow, in case you need to evacuate. You should know the location of the Hurricane Evacuation Center near you and wait for announcements of when they will open. And, keep a full tank of gas!

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.
In Reply to: Shock from IC's? posted by AudioDwebe on February 27, 2012 at 10:00:33:
You disconnected the IC from the source, but it was still connected to the headphone amp? There shouldn't be any voltage or current on the input of the amp. I would have it checked out if I were you. It probably has input coupling caps (to block any DC on the input). If you have a multimeter (DMM), measure the DC and AC voltage from the center to the barrel of the IC (or input jack).

A new county means a new aim for Ajmal Shahzad as he bids to get back in the minds of the England selectors.
After spending some of last season fighting for promotion with the White Rose he then crossed over to the Red Rose in a bid to stave of relegation. One of the two outcomes panned out with Yorkshire gaining promotion to division one and set for a collision with Nottinghamshire.
Now he will be fighting the battle at the top of the county game in a bid to capture the LV= County Championship with Nottinghamshire.
"There are a number of top class players here with a number of players already playing for England or knocking on the door," he said.
"I am away from home for the first time and I want to think of everyone at the club as my extended family."
The squad was in Barbados for twelve days and it gave them plenty of down time for Shahzad to spend with his new colleagues.
"I want to think of everyone at the club as my extended family."
"The tour gave me the chance to further get to know the guys and show them what I am about and what I can add to the team."
The 2013 Nottinghamshire squad has great depth and quality which can only stand the side in good stead if injuries or international call-ups deplete the squad. Shahzad realises this and believes he can add his abilities to all compartments of the game and do the best for the team.
"It would be great to be in that number eight position and back up the batsmen up with useful knocks," he said.
"Along with my bowling I want to be able to add to the side and see us winning games."
The season curtain raiser begins on April 10 when Middlesex visit Trent Bridge where Shahzad and the rest of the squad will look to get their season off to the best start.
"I am only 27 and have a lot left to offer," he said.
"Hopefully I can make the selectors see that and put myself in the shop window by getting runs and wickets and having good average.
"Mick has massive ambitions for the squad and with the strength that we have at the club I don't see why we can't be challenging."
This doesn't mean that the one-day competitions will be put on the back burner. With the club winning the Barbados T20 they are in a good place to challenge in the shorter formats.
"If we start the season by getting good results in all three comps and with the depth of the squad I don't see why we shouldn't be challenging across all three," Shahzad said.

CMPSC 56: Advanced Applications Programming
Computer Science 24 with a grade of C or better.
Recommended preparation
Students are encouraged to complete Computer Science 32 prior to enrolling in Computer Science 56.
Catalog description
Advanced application programming using a high-level, virtual-machine-based language. Topics include generic programming, exception handling, programming language implementation; automatic memory management, & application development, management, & maintenance tools; event handling, concurrency & threading, & advanced library use.
As an instructor, my goal is to encourage you to become a more self-directed learner. I believe that the future belongs to those who enjoy learning things for themselves. I consequently hope that you explore some additional topics that are of personal interest. Self-directed learning, like any skill, takes practice. Persevere. Self-directed does not mean that you cannot talk to people. It means that you take personal responsibility for organizing & executing—in a word, directing—your own learning plan. I would love to discuss any plans you may have or wish to formulate for self-directed learning.
I also have some suggestions for succeeding in this course.
Written Communication
Students present their solutions to programming problems on both homework & examinations. Precision, clarity, & readability are the coin of this communication realm.
This is a 4-credit course at UCSB. You are expected to finish this course in 10 weeks, working intelligently for an average of 10 hours/week.

York author Nuala Casey's follow-up to Soho 4am is a modern tale of four characters adrift in London – with a searing portrait of a young woman battling OCD at its core. STEPHEN LEWIS reports
NUALA Casey once read about a young City worker who became so stressed by her high-pressure life that she jumped to her death from a London office block. Interviewed afterwards, one of the young woman's colleagues said: "This city sucks the life out of you."
That sad story provided the inspiration for York-based Nuala's latest novel of London life, Summer Lies Bleeding.
It follows the lives of four main characters during the hot summer days of 2012. There is Sebastian Bailey, a successful artist; Stella Blake, a thirtysomething young woman who feels trapped in her rural life with her partner Paula and yearns for an academic job at London University; Mark Davis, a northerner down from Middlesbrough scarred by the brutal murder of his sister Zoe a few years earlier; and city analyst Kerstin Engel, a lonely young woman desperately battling with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
The lives of all four are connected in ways they can't possibly know – and they come together in a climax that is shocking, brutal and yet, in a way, almost inevitable.
Summer Lies Bleeding is in part a sequel to Nuala's first novel, Soho 4am. That followed the lives of a group of characters – a wannabe singer; a jazz-musician; a would-be model and a washed-up artist – living on a grimy backstreet in London's notorious red-light district in the hours leading up to the London bombings of July 2005.
Summer Lies Bleeding jumps forward seven years. Stella, the wannabe singer, is now doing a doctorate in English literature, living in apparent domestic bliss with flower-seller Paula in the West Country, but in London for an interview at London University that Paula knows nothing about.
Sebastian, the washed-up artist, is now a big success, his portraits of Olympic athletes plastered all over London during the Olympic games. Zoe, the would-be model, is dead: but her brother Mark has come to London to get revenge on the man – Sebastian – he wrongly blames for his sister's death.
And Kerstin? The only new main character in the book, she somehow becomes the centrepiece. She's utterly alone, utterly cut off from real human contact in the way only someone living in a huge, anonymous metropolis can be. A maths genius, she uses numbers as her protection. Every mistake, every minor disruption in her orderly life, leads to frantic counting in her head as she tries to control her panic.
In one poignant scene early in the book, she notices a small tear in the leather of her purse. It's an imperfection: one that has to be put right straight away. She runs out of the office to buy a new purse, counting off the steps she takes in her head.
"She must keep counting until she gets to her golden number, the number of truth and light, then everything will be all right," Nuala writes. "When she gets to eleven hundred and nine – her birthday, the eleventh day of the ninth month, order and perfection, order and perfection – when she gets to that number then she will stop."
As the novel progresses, Kerstin's counting becomes more and more obsessive – her desperation and exhaustion palpable. It's a searing portrait of someone with OCD – so plausible that you suspect Nuala herself might be a sufferer.
Is she? Talking on the phone from her home in Heslington, Nuala – who grew up near Darlington, lived in London in her twenties, and came to York with her husband Nick and young son Luke in 2007 – bats the question away with a laugh. "We all have elements of it. And I did do quite a lot of research into it: I read a lot around the topic."
Each of the four main characters in Summer Lies Bleeding have convincing inner lives and stories that draw you in.
But it is Kerstin's story, and in particular the contrast between her outer appearance - neat, pretty and well-dressed, the Kerstin seen by colleagues and neighbours - and her inner anguish and exhaustion, that truly haunts you. In a sense, we always know where her journey is going to end. But when it comes, it is still shocking and deeply saddening.
Summer Lies Bleeding by Nuala Casey is published by Quercus, priced £7.99.

Ah, duplication of effort. :) I guess I should've tried to get mine on CPAN when I wrote it, so it might've saved you some work. Though maybe not, since my module seems quite a bit more basic than yours, as it doesn't support any of the extensions and leaves a lot more up to the user to implement.
I'm curious, though, why you insist that your module is alpha. What necessesary features does it still lack?
And, yes, I went with the new/start model to stay close to [cpan://Net::Server]'s style as, I assume, did you.

Did You Watch Simon Doonan's "Beautiful People"?
Why, oh, why don't we have cable?!?! We missed the first episode of Simon Doonan's new show, "Beautiful People," a BBC series that ran for the first time stateside last night on LOGO, the gay and lesbian network. Simon is Barney's creative director, as well as our favorite style writer (we heart his "Simon Says" column in the New York Observer, plus numerous books), so this is kind of like a nerd missing the midnight showing of "Star Trek." "Beautiful People" is a six-part TV series based on Simon's book, "Beautiful People," which was originally published in the U.S. under the title Nasty: My Family And Other Glamorous Varmints. But the story is not about Simon's fab fashion adventures at Barney's, or as hubby of furniture designer Jonathan Adler. It's about a younger Simon growing up as a budding geigh with stars in his eyes in working-class Reading, England, with a family that would make the Lohans look normal.
Accompanied by his best friend, Biddie, a show tune-loving Simon hightailed it out of rural England to the bright lights of London as soon as he could, full of ambition, searching for the "beautiful people" with glamorous lives he could glom on to. And of course, London didn't quite work out that way for him—but he befriended plenty of punks and freaks instead. Sounds adorable.
Did any of you catch the show on LOGO last night? What did you think? Don't make us too jealous! [SimonDoonan.net, LOGO, BBC]

I have known Gerald Schwab for nearly eight years and have consulted with him on several matters. He knows what he is doing about the law, tactical issues and practical strategies for getting problems solved. Most importantly for me, he is direct, candid and has integrity I really respect.

Jerry is very professional, easy to approach, and easy to talk to. He gives realistic advice and possible solutions, does not make promises, does deliver solutions.
Jerry is the first attorney I had the pleasure working with. I had a great experience given the situation I put myself in. We found myself a solution that worked.
I would recommend Jerry to handle your case.

Gerald is one of the best criminal defense attorney's in Fresno. I have had several attorney's, but he was honestly the best I have ever had. I had some troubles criminally and didn't think he would be able to expunge my record, but he turned my life upside down and got all my record expunge. It was such a good feeling and would recommend Gerald to anyone. He also was very positive and uplifting.

I highly recommend Mr.Schwab as an attorney. The Friday after Thanksgiving I received mail that I was in some potentially serious trouble. I had called several attorneys to try and get some help. Mr. Schwab was the only attorney that returned my call. He met with me the very next day(Saturday).He was very professional yet friendly and personable. He assured me that he would be there for me and that I would be okay. He always returned my phone calls when ever i had a question or concern. My court case turned out okay just as he told me it would. I alway's felt like i was in good hands with Mr.Schwab.

Well what can i say about Gerald other than he is a excellent lawyer and turned out to be a good friend . When i got into trouble and landed in jail it felt like the world ended to me. But as soon as a contacted his office he was the first to visit me befor i was even booked . If anyone reading this has been through this situation you could imagine how good it calmed my nerves! I will recomend Gerald to any one in need of help.My case went very well and god forbid i get into trouble again i wouldnt trust any one else with my life..

I have always been apprehensive about utilizing the services of a lawyer; however, circumstances didn't give me a choice. My lawyer experience was honestly a little nerve racking, because i wanted an answer, and didn't get one, Gerald Schwab is just good, what can Isay? He doesn't get caught up in the details only facts getting the job done. Sometimes no news as I have learned, may just be good news. If this turns out to not be the case, I am confident that i am in good hands if there are any surprises down he line, I have been able to actually relax not knowing the outcome. Gerald only charges for the time spent on your case, If your straight forward about finances, he will work with you, he is good at what he does, and is worth every last penny. . I am very pleased, especially with how he is able to not react or absorb the emotions of anger and betrayal, from his clients; he's all about the facts. I highly recomend him to anyone looking for an honest and talented lawyer.

Notes by David Martin & Chris Geanacopoulos
[The scheduled presenter, Mr. Chris Skelly, was unable to be at the meeting because of weather problems. In his place, Vice-President Herb Skelly led a sharing of ideas for surmounting "brick walls" in genealogy and how we might pass our work on to future generations. A number of interesting suggestions were made.]
A consistent theme in nearly all suggestions for getting beyond brick walls was persistence, persistence, and persistence. Never give up.
Some of the more interesting suggestions and experiences were -
Records - don't overlook deeds as souces of information and clues. Look at original church records for baptisms which occur at an advanced age for the individual, not just when they are young.
Networking - via letters, meetings, Internet message boards and mailing lists can be a way to let others know what you're working on and the specific difficulties you're encountering.
Photographs - make copies of photographs and spread them around. Look for people outside the family who also may be able to identify people, places, or events in your family photos.
Images from the Internet - you may be surprised at how many photos of places and household items you will find on Internet auction sites such as e-Bay. These can be an unexpected source of clues.
Small-town used bookstores and gift shops - give in to the temptation to linger in small-town used bookshops and gift stores, where you might happen upon something that gives you the clue you need.
Then there's always the supernatural - one member told of two instances where "mysterious forces" seemed to supply the answer. A critical book is misplaced in a repository, but falls off the shelf behind you.... An ancestor appears at the foot of your bed in the middle of the night and gives you the clues you need....
The question of what to do with our genealogical records to pass them along to others was also discussed. If no family member is interested in working with them, they can be given to a genealogical society such as NEHGS or to a historical society. The LDS Church may also be interested in microfilming the records. Name Societies may also be interested. It was also recommended that researchers might send pedigree charts to all the younger generation, to pique their interest. Most important is to put one's genealogical information in some book form which can then be easily passed along to other family members.
Photographs - Be sure to label your photographs carefully on the back of originals. One member suggested that you can also label scanned photos using FotoTagger, which lets you add the name and an arrow pointing to the person or obect in the picture.
Another member emphasized that in many cases mere identification of an heirloom or person or object in a picture may not be enough to carry the real meaning down through subsequent generations. You you should also capture the stories that surround the object, the photograph and the people and objects in them. Knowing the "stories" about hierlooms and photos (and even our own genealogy records) will help ensure that future generations take as much care in preserving them as we did in assembling them.
No matter where the results of your work end up, it is important to label your boxes of materials inside and out. Leave instructions inside each box for what's in there and how it is to be handed down or preserved.
See the Presentation Notes Index for summaries of other presentations given at the Society's monthly meetings.

I could see then that it was a put-up job, this getting me to go up to my sister's house.
He felt at once that it was a put-up job to get him out of the way.
But Id rather investigate three put-up jobs than neglect one real need of one miserable man.
We shall have to try it by Chartism, or any conceivable ism, rather than put-up with this!
One of the men insisted that he was too damned polite to be honest, and that the American consul yarn was a put-up job.
Take it from me, it was a put-up job by that Calabrian woman.
"To my mind, it is nothing but a put-up job," said Andy flatly.
This looks as if it was a put-up job, with the masks, and everything.
Dare say it was a put-up job between her and those two young men.
Even if it were a put-up job, as most divorces are nowadays, it would damn me.

What If...
What if the skies weren't blue,
The clouds weren't white,
But every love was true?
Would you cherish what you had within,
Or wish the skies were blue again?
What if the water was silver and gold,
But the jewelry dissolved,
Into water so cold?
Would you rather wash dishes with gold from a faucet,
Or wear around your neck your grandmothers old locket?
These are the questions that haunt us today,
When the world seems to be quickly fading to grey.
The time we have here is a limited one,
So we need to cherish what we have before we travel to the sun.
The lives that we live each and every day,
Are the ones that are slowly wasting away.
So the next time walking out the door is the path you choose,

Marky Ramone + Andrew W.K. Interested in Creating New Music Together
Legendary Ramones drummer Marky Ramone and party rocker Andrew W.K. have been touring the world together this year for Marky's well-known 'Blitzkrieg' project. Having taken many forms throughout the years, Blitzkrieg's stint with Andrew W.K. on vocals has no doubt been its most exciting incarnation to date, and during an exclusive interview with both Marky and Andrew, the two revealed to us an interest in creating original material together.
We attended Andrew W.K.'s first-ever performance fronting Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg and we can honestly say that it was one of the most purely fun live experiences we've ever lived through. Blazing relentlessly through a mass of Ramones classics, the chemistry between Andrew W.K., the band and the audience was overwhelmingly powerful. Both Andrew and Marky have been ecstatic with the results of their experiment and it may just transition into some new, original material from the duo.
The current Blitzkrieg lineup is back on the road in October for a new U.S. tour (see dates below) before hitting the UK for a few shows, so we asked Andrew and Marky about what will become of their partnership once the dates come to an end. "I guess we're going to discuss that on this tour and the English tour," stated Marky. "There's always something that comes up. My whole thing for a month or two is to make sure this book [Marky's autobiography] is done properly, edited properly and I'm sure Andrew has things on his table, but we'll always be doing this in one way or another. Hopefully, eventually, we as a team can write some originals, too."
"That warms my heart to hear that," Andrew responded. "I'm at the humble service of Marky and this music. Whenever I can do it, I'm there. I cleared my schedule to be able to do this. There was no hesitation, there was no debate in my mind of whether or not I should do it."
We followed up the duo's answers by asking if they had yet concocted any new ideas for the would-be project. "Not yet," Marky said, "but now that the time will come, that we have time to think about anything, because we've been so busy, everything will fall into place."
Andrew W.K. concluded with the simple and hopeful quote, "I like the idea of it."
Check back soon for our full interview with Marky Ramone and Andrew W.K. Be sure to catch Andrew W.K. fronting Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg on their remaining U.S. and U.K. tour dates. Click here for tickets.

What Doesn'T Kill You Makes You Stronger - Poem by Kresta Farr
She sits there in the silence,
Yet the noise in her head is so loud,
The anger and frustration she is longing to get out,
She has unanswered questions,
A lot of things she'd like to know,
But someone left her hanging there,
With nowhere else to go,
Limbo is a nasty place,
You have to take control,
And summon all your inner strength,
Don't ever just let go,
You turn the pain into a strength,
Take it everywhere you go,
But use it to your advantage,
So no one ever knows,
How empty that you feel inside,
The darkness in your heart,
The loneliness you long to leave,
Back there so far behind,
Yet you wear a smile on your face,
Never let them see the tears,
But in her eyes you see her dying,
Trying hard to keep afloat,
In the sea of sorrow she is drowning in,
Until a lifeline is thrown,
Her friends all gather round her,
To help her make it through the day,
If only she could turn it round,
She would start another day,
A deep breath in,
A long hard sigh,
She watches the hours flying by,
A friendly smile the squeeze of a hand,
They are all there behind her,
If she should fall,
But she is stronger than she thinks,
The time will make it easier,
To just get through the day,
And sooner than she thinks,
The pain will fade away,
Til she is right back up there,
Head and shoulders above the rest,
Then she will simply stand and shout,
I'm here world I did my best,
I survived the dark and painful days,
And the emptiness i felt,
But what's doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
Now I'm that without a doubt.

Sassi Holford is a London-based designer who's sumptuous, classic gowns are well known throughout the UK.
Poised perfectly between traditional and modern sensibilities, Sassi's gowns embody the romantic notion of a grand, elegant bridal gown while never compromising style or losing the feel of wearing something fresh and couture. Sassi's gowns are perfect for a bride-to-be searching for a gown with drama that will make her feel her most beautiful.
One of the reasons Sassi's gowns, in particular, has a special place in my heart is the fit. Each bodice has built-in corseting (read: bra) that makes each design fit like an absolute dream. Brides wearing her gowns often do not need to wear a bra! Surprisingly, with all of that foundation built in, her gowns are comfortable and very wearable. She creates all her gowns in 100% silks and produces them right in London.
Sassi's gowns are relatively new to the US, but she has been designing for over 25 years and, before opening her own salons in Chelsea and Taunton in the UK, was carried at Harrods! She also designed the wedding gown recently worn by Autumn Kelly to the Queen of England's oldest grandchild's (Peter Phillips) wedding. If that doesn't stir up romantic notions, I don't know what will!
I have chosen just a few photos of my favorite Sassi Holford gowns, but you can visit Sassi's site to see more and find the boutique nearest you. For up to date news about Sassi in the US, visit her blog.
PS – Sassi Holford herself will be in New York at Gabriella's Bridal Salon on October 15th and 16th for a Trunk Show. If you are in the area and looking for your gown, schedule an appointment to see the collection!

Comments about Hohner 280/64 Chromonica 64 Chromatic Harmonica:
I'm a trained singer and classical guitarist, with some composition background but I developed a real interest in harmonica...first instrument I played as a kid. First, this is a very reasonably priced harmonica, and gets you into the 16 hole category. It's a good instrument to develop high grade skills, and is sensitive. If you've been playing diatonics, or lower grade chromatics (chromatics provide the sharps and flats for a full chromatic scale...5 more notes/ black keys on piano, through use of a slide activated with your index finger or thumb) you're really going to experience something special. You'll find the round holes and shaping of the mouthpiece very comfortable and with correct emboucher and draw and blow technique, can really produce fine sound. Understand that a good portion of the sound you'll get is your technique, create a sound chamber with your hands and breathe from the diaphram. Also be aware that rich sound really requires the tongue block method, as your mouth becomes a sound chamber, but don't place the harmonica too deep in your mouth, just enough to get the tongue on the holes. This instrument feels substantial in the hand, and with medium hands, I have no trouble cradling it between two hands, using the thumb to work the slide. Frankly, this is an older design, but understand that top pros just a few years ago and more would have been and were very satisified with this. Other instruments and higher priced ones go for sealed covers with less breath required, but you can still get that rich sound with correct use of your hands with this unit, and have a nice bright sound option available too. The next step up would be a 7584 64x but you're looking at triple the price, in the neighborhood of $350, so at $119 the 280C is a deal. I'd say it represents the highest value for dollar invested. There are better harmonicas but you'll pay dearly, and you have to ask if this is your first shot at a chromatic, and I'm guessing for many it is, whether you want to spend more if you don't have to. It's like a Lexus versus a Toyota, the the 7584 64x being the Lexus (less breath required, double reeds on lower notes for volume) but that Toyota Camry like 280C is a real value and will get you there. I'd suggest that you start with a 280C, see how things go, and only move up when you're ready to get married to harmonica. I'll give this a 10 on a 10 scale and say in the right hands it would be very very difficult to beat. Again the older style cover does give you that bright option...when you want it. When I play it, especially in a room with decent acoustics (garage, room without carpet, school halls) people can't believe the beautiful tone. For the buck, you can't miss, and you'll likely never beat this price by the way. Good luck and enjoy your music. dd
Comments about Hohner 280/64 Chromonica 64 Chromatic Harmonica:
I am a long time user of Hohner harmonicas. I started at the age of 15 and continued on for over 45 yrs. The 64 with the four octaves has allowed me to get the most of sharps and flats when playing jazz bop and mellow ballads. Same as for classics I get beautiful sounds with classic ballads etc. I do not read music and every tune I play is by ear and memory. The 64 has allowed me to play numbers like Malaguena and Claire Delune etc.
Comments about Hohner 280/64 Chromonica 64 Chromatic Harmonica:
My Hohner Chromonica 280 is at least 35 years old. It plays as well now as it did when I first got it.
Comments about Hohner 280/64 Chromonica 64 Chromatic Harmonica:
I am 57 years old. My much older cousin brought my mother this 4 chromatic professional harmonica when returning from the Army, and Germany about 1952.She is now 89, and has played this harmonica in every kind of event imaginable. I listened to her play it again just a little while ago.It is undoubtedly the sweetest sound any instrument could ever make. After all this time I don't think either of them needs a tune up.
Comments about Hohner 280/64 Chromonica 64 Chromatic Harmonica:
I switched to the Chromatic Harmonica only 18-months ago although I played the diatonic harp for a long time before that. I have always preferred to play tunes rather than chugging the rhythm and eventually became frustrated by the diatonics limited note-range in first position. Never having played the chromatic before, there was a tough choice; just enough notes to make a good tune, or all the notes I could get on one instrument! I initially selected the Chromonica 48 but found some tunes really need the octave below Middle-C to get the best effect. Not wishing to decry the 48, it has a fantastic sound and I often use it for specific tunes as the tone is a bit more earthy thanks to the wooden comb. However, the C-tuned 64 covers a full four-octave range and the plastic comb gives it a warm, mellow tone that I like very much. Obviously the sound of the instrument is a personal preference but it never fails to give a smooth sound when played in a variety of styles. Also, being in the key of C, I use music written for any C- instrument, which significantly increases the selection available without the need to transpose. At 7 inches long, the 64 is a handful of an instrument and it is difficult to cup in the hands to make best use of hand-effects to get the right sound. Despite this, the 64 is an excellent instrument whatever your skill-level. Another plus-point for the 64 are the round holes on the mouthpiece. I find them to be more comfortable on the lips than the square holes on 48. Chromatic Harmonicas are serious instruments and deserve serious respect. I accidentally knocked my 64 off the coffee table and, (despite falling only 18 inches onto a soft carpet), bent the slide-lever. The repair, even though not expensive, reiterated the point that chromatic harmonicas are fragile and need to be looked after.I have had enjoyed playing my chromatics, but when it comes down to it, the 64 is my instrument of choice if, for no other reasons, mellow tone and octave-range.Enjoy!

Klas Restaurant: It May Be Later Than You Think
Old School Restaurant Has a Lot of Old World Charm
If you've never been to Klas in Cicero, you really should stop by, if only to see what an incredible place it is.
A relic from the day's when this was a Bohemian (Czech) neighborhood, Klas offers some incredible dining deals on old world standards. My dinner was about 10 bucks, and included soup, salad, entrée and dessert. The soup for me was liver dumpling: a little salty but pretty good. The salad was two kinds of cole slaw and sweet/sour cabbage, an excellent foil for the entrée, which was boiled beef with dill sauce, a little sweeter than I had expected but tasty. Dessert was a capably prepared apple strudel. Now, none of this food was Michelin 3-star cuisine, but it was flavorful, solid fare, and the price cannot be beat. We had dinner early (around 6:00) and as the sun set, the stained glass windows set ablaze the room, of which my friends and I seemed to be the youngest members by about 10 years (that's a problem: when the old crowd stops coming, what's going to happen to this place?).
After dinner, we wandered around and found:
• The Dr. Zhivago Room, which is a wood paneled banquet hall, with thick ceiling beams, chandeliers and a series of hand-painted murals depicting scenes from Russian History. It was deeply cool, and our host told us it could be had for a buck a head (i.e., bring 25 people and there's a $25 clean-up fee tacked on to the bill; I'm sure it's negotiable).
• The Waterfall Room, which was really my favorite dining chamber and had a kind of faux hunting lodge feel. In the corner was a water fall that cascaded down a mountain of tiled steps; there was also a big fire place, and lots of stuffed animal life. It had its own bar and lots and lots of wood. Cozy, in an Eastern European kind of way.
• The George Washington Room (!) which was a huge, off-white banquet hall with private bar overlooking the beer garden, and huge murals of GW at Valley Forge and other locations. This place, despite bizarre murals, was a little too pedestrian…I preferred the funkier chambers like The Waterfall Room and …
• The Last Supper Room, a long chamber with gold and red stencil work along ceilings and walls and a series of five or so church-type doors leading off to tiny little rooms which, allegedly, provided locations for illicit (though by the standards of 1930's Cicero, quite typical) liaisons. Most of the rooms now seem to hold chairs and other licit items, but there's one room in back that still has a chaise longue and some furniture to suggest the old days of generally tolerated prostitution.
Upstairs, there's also a room for playing cards where, the story goes, the owner of Klas played poker with Al Capone.
These rooms are all in addition to the two main dining rooms and relatively tiny dark wood bar, which the night we were there featured a guy totally knocked out and hunched over a glass of red wine. The host told us the guy comes every night and does rounds of red (Cabernet, Merlot, Chianti) until he blacks out…then he starts again.
Klas is a fun place to go eat and if I were you, I'd stop by sooner rather than later because, as the sign in front warns, "it may be later than you think."

As the Arctic warms, summer sea ice is projected to disappear from much of the area by the middle of the century.
That poses a problem to animals that depend on sea ice to live on, such as polar bears, seals and walruses.
A group of researchers looking where and how ice forms and wind patterns has projected that there may be one, final, ice-covered refuge for these animals as the rest of the sea becomes clear. It will be, they believe, just north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland. That area has the oldest ice in the region, which likely will mean that it will stay ice-covered even as the rest disappears.
"If the ice is just patchy and distributed all over Arctic, it would be hard to create a viable ecosystem. But if it collects in one place, it could create a refuge," says Stephanie Pfirman, a professor of environmental sciences at Columbia University.
"This region will be important either as the last stand for these species" or as a potential area from which to repopulate them later, says Brendan Kelly of NOAA's National Marine Laboratory in Juneau, Alaska.
"This is a large reduction in habitat no matter how you cut it," he says. "How large is an important question. It's not an easy thing to predict how the ecosystem will sort itself out.
The researchers presented their findings at a Thursday session at the American Geophysical Union conference being held in San Francisco this week.

I had Botox a week ago for my crow's feet around the eyes. However, not all the wrinkles are smoothened out, I see three lines on the corner of each eye, looks like a cat's whisker. Why weren't these lines completely smoothened out by Botox?
Crow's Feet Not Completely Gone Post-Botox
Doctor Answers 15
Unrealistic Expectations from Botox
Everyone has to have realistic expectations from Botox. Botox truly is a wonderful treatment and is very effective with very few side effects. However, there is a balance between smoothing wrinkles and maintaining function in your expressions. Sure, so much Botox could be injected that you do not move your face at all - but you would look like you had a stroke. I am sure that is not what you are looking for. Also, Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscle to relieve stress on the overlying skin. This relaxes the wrinkles from dynamic action from the muscles. If you have static wrinkles - wrinkles that are there at rest - Botox may not be completely effective the first time you have it. It is important that you discuss your expectations with your surgeon before having treatment to make sure they are realistic. Good luck.

Botox in the Crow's Feet Area
It might simply be that not enough Botox was placed to effectively control the muscle movement in the crow's feet area. You also may need to have Botox placed below the corner of the eye into the high cheek zone to stop this portion of the muscle from moving. If a sufficient amount of Botox was already placed and the distribution area was correct, you might need to consider a skin resurfacing procedure to provide further improvements.

Botox and Crow's Feet
Botox does not remove all the lines. There are many muscles on your face that trigger different facial expressions. Botox is effective in removing lines from one source or muscle. You may be seeing lines forming from another muscle that has not been relaxed by Botox. Also, botox can take up to 2wks for final effect. If after two weeks you still have concerns, discuss them with your doctor. At times you may require a touch-up.
You might also like...
Botox Adjustment Not Unusual
It takes 4-7 days for the full effects of a Botox injection to appear and Botox is a dose dependant treatment. This means that to achieve similar results, patients require varying amounts of Botox...some more, some less. To get full correction, it's not unusual to have an adjustment or added Botox within the first month after the initial Botox treatment.

Botox is not an immediate wrinkle releaser.
It's not a total surprise that after Botox for crow's feet next to your eyes, you might still see a few fine lines persist, especially if this was your first time getting treated. Botox works by relaxing or preventing muscle contraction. The line smoothing is a secondary side effect. Understanding this helps you understand why it's important to continue regular follow up for Botox treatments to keep the area from re-crinkling, because it's over time that the lines will naturally smooth, when they aren't creased on a daily basis.
If you only do Botox once in a while, you can't expect long term smoothing, since any gain is lost by the re-creasing in the months following.
Ways to Enhance Botox For Crow's Feet
Botox work on muscular related wrinkles, or movement wrinkles. Static wrinkles, the ones you have at rest, do not respond as much. As such, there are several ways to improve the results of botox for crow's feet:
1. first, botox the area
2. then, after waiting the effect of botox takes place, consider one of the following:
a. chemical resurfacing
b. laser resurfacing with either fractionated laser or subablative fractioned laser resurfacing.
c. low density hyaluronic acid filler
d. platelet rich plasma
e. combinations of the above
Incomplete result after Botox for crows feet
Botox is a very effective and powerful medication. We commonly use it to help erase wrinkles in the upper face that are caused by muscle action. Every patient is different and has a different amount in concentration of muscle. For patients that have more muscle, more Botox is necessary. At this time should we visit with your doctor to determine if this incomplete result can be fixed with additional Botox to these areas.
Resolving Incomplete Botox smoothing of Crow's Feet Wrinkles
The wrinkles you are referring to may be either DYNAMIC (seen only when you smile) or PASSIVE (seen at rest as well).
To assure ourselves that enough active Botox was placed, I would start by re-treating the persistent wrinkles with a few more units of Botox. Then in a week's time, when the effect of Botox would be fully established, we would re-asses and see if we have the situation corrected. If not, the wrinkles are most likely PASSIVE (seen at rest) and less dependent of muscle contraction. These wrinkles can be vastly improved with a filler such as Juvederm or Restylane.
Dr. P. Aldea
Still have crow's feet after Botox
It's hard to say what's happening for sure without seeing the wrinkles you are speaking about. It's possible that a bit more Botox might be required. It's also possible that the lines you are speaking about need to be addressed with fillers rather than Botox. It depends on how close to the eye the lines are, whether they get worse when you smile and whether they are located at the outside of the eye or under the eye.
We'd suggest getting back in touch with your injector and going back for a visit to address your concerns. Maybe it's a simple solution like a couple more units. Hopefully so! Good luck.

Wait for one week, more Botox might be needed or resurfacing
A few thoughts on this:
- You might need another dose of Botox to relax the lateral orbicularis muscle.
- Wait for one more week for full Initial Botox effect.
- Static lines as previously mentioned here will not go away with Botox but will require fillers or resurfacing with laser or peel.
- There is a surgical procedure done to cut the lateral orbicularis and make these lines go away completely.However, this is only done during a face lift or lower eye lid surgery.
Hope that helps!

It's a buyer's market, but making smart hires remains far from easy.
Scott Leibs, CFO Magazine
February 1, 2009
Talent is always a very scarce resource, especially in a crisis time. Take care with your hiring practices, because in these times the first to be fired are the most unables!
Posted by Jaime Sicard | February 19, 2009 03:31 pm
HRM competencies are in short supply especially if CFOs are forced to do HR work too. The skill set to find finance executives is different from the skills possessed by a finance one. That is an HR Manager requires psychological skills to determine if a person is a fit to the culture of the organization. To make matters complex if it crosses borders the emotional skills must exist rather than just being able to carry out compliance and consolidation of accounts work. Further, finance chiefs in most cases speak in a jargon that other departments may have to make sense of. If you examine management accounting texts they are so technical that the front liners would find it difficult to comprehend. It is thus the neural pathways through the network of people within the organization which has to be patched even though these neural units may be going in different directions. Finally, finance people may find it not really their task to be entrepreneurial and realize that recruiting adequate executives is an endeavor which brings stability to the organization. Herzberg and Maslow's theories should be combined so that there is some practicality in the way management becomes an art not a science.

text: Toshiba is doing what PC makers do best - blame someone else. MY fiance recently sold her mini and replaced it with a 4G. Both were brand new. Here is the problem. With the mini, she never had any problems connecting to her laptop via the USB port. Now, her 4G won't mount when I connect through USB, but will if I use the firewire port. The only reason we know this is because I have the 6-4 adaptor that came with my 3G. Anyway, Applecare told us to go to the Apple Store. Store said that sinec it worked via firewire, they couldn't replace it. That no big deal. She doesn't mind using the firewire. But, as for updating drivers or whatever may help, Toshiba says that it's Apple's fault. Anybody find this or a similar problem in other computers? If so, is there some sort of fix, I think it would be nice to not have to worry that something else will do this as well.
