2.1 Common Base Types
This section contains commonly used primitive data types.
The use of the Interface Definition Language (IDL) implies RPC marshaling unless custom marshaling is specified.
Unless explicitly noted in this document, any integer, either signed or unsigned, is in memory order before RPC marshalling. It is implementation dependent<1> whether the memory order is little-endian or big-endian.
For packets, the bit numbering convention followed is the same as that used in RFCs, namely: the high (most significant) bit of the first byte to hit the wire is in packet bit 0, and the low bit of the last byte to hit the wire is in packet bit 31 (so that the bits are shown from left-to-right in the order they naturally appear over the network).
Figure 1: Packet byte/bit order
Unless otherwise specified, the bytes of a multi-byte integer field are assumed to be transmitted in big-endian order, also referred to as Network Byte Order. That is, if the packet shown above represented a 32-bit integer, then Byte 1 would be its high-order byte and Byte 4 its low-order byte. Certain protocols use little-endian order, as specified in the corresponding technical documents; for example, [MS-SMB2].

Afar Magazine - Hidden Vancouver
The latest issue of Afar Magazine has hit the stands containing a feature article revealing head shopkeeper Savannah Olsen's hidden Vancouver. We love our local haunt here in Gastown so it was a pretty easy task to pen a list. The hardest part was keeping the article within guideline length - it would have been no problem for us put out a whole issue rather than just an article about our neighbourhood.
Despite being the oldest part of the city, Gastown still feels like the newest: there's unbelievable talent and ingenuity around every corner. Pick up a copy of Afar to see the whole article or head over to Afar's website for a virtual tour.
Here is a selection of photographs for the article taken by Grant Harder.

Ex-claimer Literary Light belongs in Correction
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - When Richard Schosberg put up $50,000 to claim Literary Light on Sept. 28, he was simply looking for a useful horse to get a new client started.
Schosberg and owner Michael Tau may have gotten more than they bargained for, as Literary Light has a good chance to become a stakes winner in Saturday's $75,000 Correction Handicap at Aqueduct. The Correction, run at a six furlongs, drew a competitive field of 10.
In three starts since being claimed, Literary Light has two wins and a second-place finish. Her runner-up finish came to Golden Made in a Jan. 17 allowance race. Golden Made, a hard-knocking New Jersey-bred mare returning from a layoff, was allowed to get loose on the lead, and despite gaining ground late, Literary Light fell a length short.
"Saskya lost her rider out of the gate which caused the other speed horses to hesitate and we ended up chasing a very nice filly that was loose on the lead," said Schosberg, who won the 2001 Correction with Fickle Fanny. "I think we made up [four lengths] from the head of the stretch to the wire, which on that track is a lot."
Schosberg also noted that Aqueduct's inner track was loose and cuppy that day and Literary Light may not have cared for the surface. With rain in the forecast Friday night into Saturday, Schosberg is hoping the surface will be tighter. An off track wouldn't hurt either, Schosberg said.
Literary Light, who will be ridden by Richard Migliore, figures to sit right off the pace, which should be established by Golden Made, Redhead Riot, and possibly A.P. Aindie.
A hot pace would certainly help the late-running Honest Deceiver, who ships in from Kentucky for trainer Elliott Walden. A $400,000 daughter of Is It True, Honest Deceiver comes off a half-length victory in the Wishing Well Stakes at Turfway Park on Jan. 11.
"I was very impressed with that race," Walden said. "They don't come from that far out of it at Turfway and that was a pretty decent group of fillies. She's gotten pretty good over the fall."
Honest Deceiver, one of four horses assigned 116 pounds in the field, will be ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan from post 5.
Trainer Pat Reynolds could offer no excuse for Shawklit Mint's fifth-place finish in the Interborough on New Year's Day. She could have bounced running three weeks after recording a lifetime-best 108 Beyer Speed Figure in a Dec. 12 allowance race. If she's able to bounce back from the dismal Interborough performance, Shawklit Mint could be a threat.

Sending an autoresponder email to the email address entered in Adobe eSign WidgetAsked by business_solutions on September 12, 2015 at 11:29 AM
Issue 2: Sending Autoresponder Email to the Person Submitting the Form
Need to send a confirmation email to the person submitting the form. First attempt was to use the email entered in the E-sign field for the autoresponder email, but did not have any luck.
Is it possible for JotForm to recognize the email entered for the E-sign email field?
Next, I tried to use a calculated field (read-only) to format the employee's first and last names into the company's email format. (Attempting to avoid asking the user to enter their email twice).
Then used a conditional email to use the email address created by the calculated field. But the autoresponder email didn't work this way either.
What is the best way to accomplish sending an email to the employee submitting the form?
JotForm Support
As far as I know, the Adobe eSign Widget is used to sign the document as well as for receiving the copy of the signed document. It's not used as a medium or substitute for the email field that can be used in the autoresponder/notifier. But I have now forwarded this thread to our developers to see if this will be possible for them to implement.
For now, add an email field in the form and forward the calculated fields (first and last names) to this email field through conditional logic. Then of course, select this email field as the recipient of your autoresponder email.
Here's a cloned version of your form showing the changes: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52545156070956.

"Some unfriendly staff and long wait times"
About: Royal Sussex County Hospital Royal Sussex County Hospital Brighton BN2 5BE
Posted by Holly
The triage nurses were unfriendly and seemed unorganised. I was asked why I'd come to A&E if I'd already seen my GP and was told I probably had constipation! This is not something I'd ever consider going to hospital for. I went to A&E because I was having severe abdominal pain which was extremely worrying, and it turns out that I may have pancreatitis so it was lucky that I did go to hospital! Was told by the A&E Doctor that I needed a CT scan and further blood tests. Went for the scan and when I returned it turns out that I'd been called by a triage nurse for the blood tests. When I knocked on the door and was greeted rudely and the nurse looked irritated that they had called me and I hadn't been there. This was because I was having a scan! The different teams didn't seem very organised.
I then spent 5hrs in the AMU ward without being seen by the surgical doctor or having a scan which I was told I needed. It got to 11pm (after being in the hospital since 2:30pm) and the staff had no idea when I'd be seen as there was only 1 surgical doctor on duty (which is ridiculous for a Friday night!) so I ended up discharging myself and now have to seek private help.
The staff in the AMU ward (and the A&E GP) were lovely and can't fault them. But they were clearly overworked. This was my first trip to A&E and it left me fairly traumatised and no closer to finding out what's wrong with me.

There is this guy in my precalculus class and I've never talked to him. Then the other day, I asked him to sign my yearbook and then he asked me to sign his. Then today on the last day of school he said hi and we talked a little bit. He follows me on instagram and i follow him as well. I want to dm him, but I don't know if it would be weird. Should I text him over the summer on instagram?
Most Helpful Guy
Rest assure that it wouldn't be weird whatsoever. He asked you to sign his yearbook and followed you on Instagram so it shows that he's interested to be friends with you. I'm sure he'd be glad if you do text him as he probably won't mind talking with you. You guys can get to know each other over time and who knows maybe that'd be a start of something more than just a friendly relationship.
If you like him or want to talk to him feel free to text him. It wouldn't be weird at all. Good luck! :)33|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
It's hard to say. I think it definitely helps that you guys had some sort of conversation today, and that you guys exchanged yearbook wishes (how cute!). Maybe you could spark a conversation about what he wrote in the yearbook? If it's the generic "I'm so glad I had a class with you this year or have a great summer" then just dm him about something else. Good luck! You'll never know until you try :)22|00|0

Paralogue 18: Nutty FamilyEdit
- Velouria: Oooh, cool. There are so many acorns around here. *sniff* They have such a nice scent too. So earthy, so rich. I should find the very nicest one and give it to Daddy as a present. But maybe if I pick a fresh one from one of those trees... Huh? What's up there? Behind those branches? It looks like some sort of weird portal... *sniff, sniff* What? That scent! I'd recognize it anywhere. Smells like my daddy!
(Scene transitions)
- Keaton: We're almost there. Now, where is that darn portal exactly? My daughter, Velouria, is beyond it in her Deeprealm.
- Kaze: I'm looking forward to meeting your daughter. You've said she's more like you than her mother—right down to the tail?
- Keaton: Yup! Pretty much exactly like me. Except that she prefers her own company. A real lone wolf! She's not used to being around others. You might find her...overwhelming. She really wears her heart on her sleeve. Like, REALLY really.
- Kaze: Wait, who's there?! Watch out—trouble approaches!
- Invader: ...
- Kaze: What? It seems we're about to be ambushed.
- Keaton: Not the best timing. I hate to keep Velouria waiting. But I'm game for a fight.
Battle BeginsEdit
- Keaton: Hrm? I'm picking up the slightest scent of wolfskin somewhere. To the...west? Yes! On the other side of those mountains! Who could it be...? Oh, no. It's Velouria. But how? I've never shown her where the portal is on her side. It can't be her. But that's definitely her scent coming from the west!
(Beginning of the turn after crossing to the west side of the mountains)
- Velouria: Daddy? *sniff, sniff* Is that you?
- Keaton: *sniff* Velouria? By all the hair in my ears! What are you doing here?
- Velouria: I was hunting for just the right gift for you when I caught your scent! Then I found the portal to your world! I can't believe I found you, my dear, daring, dashing Daddy!
- Keaton: I, uh... Those are a lot of Ds. Let's save the tail-wagging until later, Velouria. We're in trouble here.
- Velouria: Oh. Are we? How about I lend a hand? Or a paw? I've been perfecting my hunting skills off in my Deeprealm. I'm fiercer than the last time you saw me, Daddy.
After BattleEdit
- Velouria: Aw, the hunt is over already... That was fun. Thanks for arranging such a nice game, Daddy.
- Keaton: Um, that wasn't a game, Velouria. I'm not exactly happy to see you here. You could have been hurt.
- Velouria: Daddy, I can see your tail wagging. I know you're happy to see me!
- Keaton: Whuh? My tail's twitching, that's all. I'm actually very, very, very angry with you, Daughter. (Stop it, you damned tail!) Now, Velouria, I want you to scamper back to your Deeprealm. Off with you. I'm busy. You know the way out.
- Velouria: Grrrah!
- Keaton: Hrm? Watch your tone, Daughter.
- Velouria: No! I mean, yes. I'll watch my tone. But I'm not going back. I'm joining your pack, Daddy.
- Keaton: Velouria, this isn't a pack. We're, uh, comrades-in-arms or something. No way. Never. Go, now!
- Velouria: Huh, But, Daddy...I'm so confused. Your tail is wagging YES.
- Keaton: Whuh? Gaah!
- Velouria: Hey, I just remembered. Before I went through the portal, I found this for you. The perfect acorn!
- Keaton: Wow! That's the prettiest acorn I've ever laid eyes on. So glossy! It's like a pearl! From a tree! Which reminds me. I have a gift for you too, Daughter. Here...
- Velouria: Oh, wow! A bat? It's all shriveled. Its wings are ripped up. Did you chew on it? Daddy, it's perfect. You're wonderful.
- Keaton: Er, am I? Sure, why not? I guess I am! But as far as you coming with us...? Oh, all right.
- Velouria: Really?! *wag, wag* *sniff, sniff* *wag, sniff, wag*
- Keaton: Ha! That tickles, Velouria! All right, you're happy. I get it.
- Velouria: I'm sorry. I'm just so glad to be part of your pack at last, Daddy.
- Keaton: All right, all right. But it's not my pack, OK? That's not how this group works. *waggity, waggity, waggity* Ha! There goes my tail again. Welcome, Daughter! Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome!
- Velouria: OK, Daddy. Settle down. Now you're embarrassing me!

Toowoomba schoolgirl scores triple treat in 24th Annual Heritage Acquisitive Photographic Awards
Toowoomba schoolgirl Amy Knie scored a triple treat tonight (Tuesday, 19 October) at the presentation of the 24th Annual Heritage Bank Acquisitive Photographic Awards in the USQ Arts Theatre.
Heritage Bank CEO, Mr John Minz announced Amy as the winner in the 14-17 year age category for her entry "Floating Memories", scoring a $100 voucher from Owens Camera House.
Amy's entry was also judged the winner of the coveted Bruce Mackenzie Memorial Youth Award, sponsored by The Chronicle, for entrants under the age of 25, which comes with $1000 prizemoney.
As the icing on the cake, Amy was also announced at the overall youth winner and won for her school, St Ursula's Toowoomba, a camera pack worth $1000.
The Heritage Bank Acquisitive Photographic Awards are one of the richest and longest-running photographic competitions in the country, with prizes valued at more than $8000 up for grabs. This year entries had to reflect the theme of the Olympic Values – Excellence, Respect, Friendship - adding an extra layer of challenge and creativity.
Each year, Heritage acquires the top three entries for $1000 each to become part of its corporate art collection
Toowoomba local David Martin was won of the top three, with his entry "Young Love" acquired by Heritage. The two other entries acquired came from Woodgate in Queensland and from Melbourne.
A Brisbane entry took out the CEO's Choice Award, which offers $500 in prizemoney.
Mr Minz said Heritage was proud to have helped foster artistic excellence in Australia over the last 24 years through the Acquisitive Awards.
"The Awards are a significant national competition that attracts photographers from novices to experts, and from right around Australia," Mr Minz said.
"This competition encourages people from communities all over the country to explore the very best that the creative arts can deliver.

My Rockin' Summer
!KaylaB's not bummer summer!
The Beginning of my not Bummer !Summer!
Hi,my name is Kayla Burrell and I am going to tell you about my not bummer summer!!! It all started after the roller skating at this place to celebrate that school is over. All the fifth graders were there and I got to say good by to my 'friend' also. Me and my mom were going to hang out at the mall. At the mall we got this really good ice cream. We then went to this store in the mall and returned something of my mom's. After the mall we got my brother from school and went home.
!During My Summer!
I was going to my grandparents house and eating and playing minecraft. On minecraft I got new mods and I am going to get more cool mods. I have been going to my grandparents for a while while after school because my parents have to work. I went to there house a over the summer too. My birthday is during the summer. I was born on July 3, 2003 so I turned 11 years old over the summer. For my birthday I had a pool party because i haven't had one since I was 1 years old. I didn't really go out of town over the summer or a different state. The good thing is that I got to play with my little brother Lance. Me and my brother played with our first cousins Kennedy is my youngest cousin. Isaiha is my oldest cousin. They got a X Box so we play that with them online. I have been watching 'Under the Dome' during the summer with my mom. It comes on every Monday. I love summer, I also met a friend named Briana. We met at a pool party my aunt took me to. My brother and cousin Kennedy also met her because my aunt works with her mom and they are friends. I am really happy I have a new friend.
My Not Bummer Summer is Coming to an End
It is becoming to the end of summer. School is about to start and I am scared because I am going to MIDDLE SCHOOL. My mom tells me everything will be alright. She was right I love middle school and we just had our school dance. That is the end of my NOT bummer summer.

Magazine's Airbrushers Hospitalized for Exhaustion After Preparing 'Aging Hollywood Lefty' Issue; Updated
Filed Under Celebrity Idiots, Entertainment | 7 Comments
Hollywood liberal stalwarts Susan Sarandon and Jane Fonda, joined by anti-Palin lefty Sigourney Weaver, are out to prove that they're proud of their ages:
The ageing process is a stressful one for any woman, let alone a Hollywood actress.
But Susan Sarandon, 64, Sigourney Weaver, 61, and Jane Fonda, 72, are showing that being older doesn't mean not being sexy anymore.
The trio posed in a variety of sultry poses for V Magazine's upcoming 'Who Cares About Age' issue.
Nothing wrong with being proud of your age, right? I mean, who cares? Well, the magazine's overworked airbrush and Photoshoppers, that's who.
I think this particular issue is called "What they'd look like after a dozen vodka tonics." First a picture from the magazine and then another from actual life that they're supposed to be celebrating:
It's always funny when these "keeping it real" stories are as phony as the politics of their subjects.
Here's Jane Fonda vs. Jane Fonda:
I didn't recognize her without the NVA anti-aircraft gun accessory.
The magazine wrote "they look great in these photos!" Sure… but with the same sleight of Photoshop the magazine could have made Michael Moore look like a Playboy centerfold within a half hour — and he might even have a better rack.
V Magazine did nothing but answer their story's lead question of "who cares about age?" with a resounding, "V Magazine and Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda and Sigourney Weaver, that's who!"
The rest of the story is here if you can stand seeing a 72-year-old hippie in a cat outfit laying on a table. Is she being cool, or is it a symptom of dementia? Only the photographer and his three-foot-thick lens filter on loan from Liz Taylor's White Diamonds commercial shoot knows for sure.
Update: A source tells me that V Magazine is also working on an "liberal & fabulous & over 70″ issue featuring men.
Ed Asner's looking pretty good after the V Magazine treatment:

What was it , the wife, the kids, the job, did your car not start, what ?? You`ve become Doug, The PUNISHER !! Did you check my medicine cabinet and see that I`m all out of eye bleach ?! Ooooweee!
It`s amazing what a good artist can do with enough spackle and paint !!

Doug, that was evil! I'm surprised my monitor didn't crack from the torment!
I agree with SPG, where's my eye bleach?

Oh those old bitties are not aging well at all! Ugly on the inside seeps through to the outside – just look at Ninny Piglousy & the Sasquatch FLOTUS for more proof (if you can stand it without wanting to stick knives in your eyes)!
All that makeup & paint looks awful in those supposedly attractive pictures too. Since when does aging gracefully equal looking like a hooker?

Doug credits a mere 3 ft thick camera lens as the possible miracle worker here, but I`m inclined to believe some whiz geeks and a bit of CGI were involved as well ! And don`t think these artists of the make-over have forgotten the "Tammy Faye Bakker – Roller and Trowel" make up kit ! We are talking a "murder of crows" feet here !

Calligrapher: Mir 'Ali Haravi (d. ca. 1550)
Object Name: Album leaf
Date: verso: ca. 1630; recto: ca. 1530–50
Geography: Attributed to India
Medium: Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper
Dimensions: H. 15 5/16 in. (38.9 cm)

Classification: Codices
Credit Line: Purchase, Rogers Fund and The Kevorkian Foundation Gift, 1955
Accession Number: 18.104.22.168
This posthumous portrait of Akbar incorporates the Elizabethan-derived motif of a lion and calf living in peace under the emperor's benign rule. Govardhan, a master of psychological portraiture, has given the calf an air of meek nervousness, as expressed in its sideways glance and lowered ears, due no doubt to the proximity of the lion's visible teeth. Cherubs above and a Netherlandish background add cosmopolitan touches in vogue at the time.

Sounds True was founded in 1985 by Tami Simon with a clear mission: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. Since starting out as a project with one woman and her tape recorder, we have grown into a multimedia publishing company with more than 80 employees, a library of more than 600 titles featuring some of the leading teachers and visionaries of our time, and an ever-expanding family of customers from across the world. In more than two decades of growth, change, and evolution, Sounds True has maintained its focus on its overriding purpose, as summed up in our Vision Statement:
Sounds True exists to inspire, support, and serve personal transformation and spiritual awakening.
Sounds True is an independent multimedia publishing company that embraces the world's major spiritual traditions, as well as the arts and humanities, embodied by the leading authors, teachers, and visionary artists of our time. Our approach to publishing is not dependent on a single format or technology—rather, we strive with every title to preserve the essential "living wisdom" of the author, artist, or spiritual teacher. It is our goal to create products that not only provide information to a reader or listener, but that also embody the essential quality of a wisdom transmission between a teacher and a student.
Throughout the years, Sounds True has developed a guiding philosophy that we call "multiple bottom lines." Our dedication to this principle is embodied in our Mission Statement:
The mission of Sounds True is to find teachers and artists who serve as a gateway to spiritual awakening and to produce, publish, and distribute their work with beauty, intelligence, and integrity. We treat our authors, vendors, and partners in the same way we would want to be treated. We work flexibly and efficiently together to create a cooperative, loving environment that honors respectful authenticity and individual growth. We maintain a healthy level of profitability so that we are an independent and sustainable employee-owned organization.
The three essential bottom lines for Sounds True are the integrity of our purpose, the well-being of our people, and the maintaining of healthy profits. All three of these priorities are important in the decisions we make as a company. It is our conviction that each of these bottom lines must be healthy for the company to prosper as a whole.
In our history as a publisher, Sounds True has produced a wide variety of formats in order to fulfill our goal of disseminating spiritual wisdom.

Routledge proud to be a Spur
By Tom Latchem
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Wayne Routledge revealed he joined Tottenham because they are on the verge of greatness.
Wayne Routledge revealed he moved across London to join Tottenham because he believes they are on the verge of greatness.
The England Under-21 international, 20, left Crystal Palace at the start of July when he refused to sign an extension to his existing deal and Spurs stumped up £1.5 million to avoid the obligatory tribunal for young out-of-contract players.
Palace were relegated from The Premiership before Routledge made the switch to White Hart Lane, but the ambitious winger insists that had no bearing on his decision to leave the club that nurtured him as a schoolboy.
"In a way it was hard to leave," Routledge told The Independent on Sunday, "because I had been there all my life and it was everything I had ever known.
"But I felt at the time, and for my career, it was necessary for me to try and get a fresh start and experience what new players had to offer.
"I want to do the best I can, like everyone else. Coming here can only help my game.
"I've come to a club who are at the stage of building and expanding and hopefully getting into Europe - which is where a club of this nature should be.
"The squad have improved. There are new players, new talent. So really there's no reason why we cannot do better than last year's ninth position.
"This is such a big club, it is always expanding and the players they have got in are all international class, all international quality, and that is really what I am aspiring to be.
"Being with these players will hopefully mean that I can pick up things and keep on learning and become one of them."
At just 5ft 7ins, the diminutive youngster is not a fan of long-ball tactics and has little choice but to get the ball on the floor and run at defenders.
Tottenham's pedigree as a flowing, passing side was another factor in a list of attractions for Routledge, who added: "I can't jump seven foot in the air or beat people for a header.
"So the fact that Tottenham play football is only going to be good for me. That is what I am about: I like playing football.
"So it was inevitable, the choice to come here."

Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak Don't Even Know What Their Book Will Be About
Which is kind of amazing.
Just two weeks ago, reports came out that Mindy Kaling and her close friend B.J. Novak (who she's in a "weird as hell" relationship with) were working on abook together—and now, we know we have Novak to thank for the project.
"He was the one who came up with the idea of working together on something with me," Kaling told ELLE.com at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic this weekend. "And it's so early in the stages now. We actually don't even know what it's going to be about, but we had one of our first work sessions, and it was great. So we'll see!" That relationship tell-all idea may not be completely dead after all…

The present invention involves the field of beverage containers. Specifically, the invention is directed to a beverage container for a child, the beverage container changing color responsive to temperature.
Specially designed drinking cups for infants and small children are known. It is desirable to provide such cups to meet the special demands created by infants. First, infants have been known to accidently drop cups or even, on occasion, intentionally throw cups. It is therefore desirable to provide cups made of plastic or other material which will not easily break.
Infants have also been known to otherwise spill beverages contained within the cup. Spills may be the result of a child's underdeveloped coordination or intentional activities. Thus, it is desirable to provide cups with means to minimize the impact of spill incidents. Such means have included lids, spouts and straws.
Yet another challenge in infant drinking cup design, is the tendency of some children to become bored with their food and beverages. Such boredom may result in increased spilling or dropping incidents. Users of infant drinking cups will clearly recognize that anew and improved cup, which can effectively hold the attention of a child, will minimize the number of spilling, dropping and throwing incidents.
The invention is directed to an infant drinking cup which changes color responsive to temperature. The invention thus provides a cup capable of holding the interest and attention of a child while containing beverages to be consumed thereby.
The infant drinking cup of the present invention is a first color while the cup is at or above a first temperature, which will be referred to herein as the critical "hot" or "warm" temperature. When the cup is below a second temperature, which will be called the critical "cold" temperature, the side walls express a second color. The first color will be henceforth referred to as the warm color and the second color will be referred to as the cold color. Hybrid colors may be expressed when the infant drinking cup is exposed to conditions between the critical temperatures.
In the preferred embodiment, the critical hot temperature is below room temperature such that the cup expresses the warm color while exposed thereto. The critical cold temperature of the preferred embodiment is above the temperature of a household refrigerator, such that the cup changes color when a beverage, recently removed from a refrigerator, is poured into the cup. The color change process is fully reversible.
The cup of the current invention is formed from a plastic. A resin is blended with a temperature responsive coloring composition to provide the cold color. The blend is molded into a cup, preferably in a distinctive and attractive shape.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred; it being understood, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an infant drinking cup according to the present invention at a warm temperature.
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of an infant drinking cup as shown in FIG. 1 with a cold beverage filling most of the cup.
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of an infant drinking cup as shown in FIG. 2 after a user has handled the cup.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view from above the front of an infant drinking up according to the present invention, the infant drinking cup having a lid with a drink spout.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view from above the front of an infant drinking up according to the present invention, the infant drinking cup having a lid with a straw.
With reference to the drawings wherein like numerals identify like elements, there is shown in the figures an infant drinking cup generally identified by the numeral 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the infant drinking cup 10 is a single color. The color of the cup 10 as represented in FIG. 1 is referred to as the warm color, which is expressed while the side walls of the cup 10 are at or above a preselected critical "hot" temperature, Th, which will be defined with greater detail below.
FIG. 2 shows the infant drinking cup with a substantial portion of its volume filled with a cold beverage. A fill line 20 marks the top of the fluid level. The beverage is below a critical "cold" temperature Tc. It is preferred that the cold temperature Tc be near or above the average temperature of a typical household refrigerator, a refrigerator usually being about 4 degrees C. or 40 degrees F. In the most preferred embodiment, the cold temperature Tc is about 14 degrees C. (about 57 degrees F.). Thus, a typical beverage which has been recently removed from a household refrigerator will have a temperature well below Tc.
Still referring to FIG. 2, the side wall area of the infant drinking cup 10 which is in contact with the cold beverage, (i.e. below the fill line 20), is designated by the numeral 14. The area 14 is cooled by virtue of its contact with the cold beverage, such that area 14 expresses the cold color. In contrast, the area of the cup above the fill line 20, which remains at room temperature, shown as area 12, remains above the hot temperature Th and, therefore, expresses the warm color. In the preferred embodiment of the infant drinking cup, the hot temperature Th is near or below average room temperature, room temperature being understood to be around 25 degree C. or 77 degrees F. Th is about 23 degrees C. (about 73 degrees F.) in the most preferred embodiment.
FIG. 3 shows the drinking cup of FIG. 2 after it has been handled by a user with warm hands. The points of contact 16 between the side walls of the cup 10 and the user's hand and fingers have been warmed to a temperature above Th, while the remainder of area 14 remains below Tc due to the temperature of the beverage. Thus, the points of contact 16 are the warm color, like area 12, and are in the shape of the user's fingers and hand.
For purposes of clarity, the temperature examples provided herein represent the most typical environments which the invention is contemplated to encounter. At temperatures between Th and Tc, the cup 10 expresses intermediate shades or colors which are hybrids of the cold and warm colors. Temperatures between Th and Tc may be encountered if the liquid within the cup 10 is allowed to warm above Tc, but has not yet reached Th.
The infant drinking cup of the present invention is preferably formed from plastic. It is preferable that the plastic be a thermoplastic polymer, most preferably polypropylene. The polypropylene is blended with a temperature responsive coloring composition. Suitable temperature responsive coloring compositions are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,431,697 to Kamata, et al, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The temperature responsive coloring composition preferably does not express a dominantly visible color at or above a hot temperature (Th). However, the temperature responsive coloring composition may express a second color above Th, the second color taking the role of the warm color more preferably expressed by a thermally stable pigment. As temperature drops below Th, the temperature responsive coloring composition begins to express the dominant cold color, expressing more and more cold color until a critical cold temperature, Tc, is reached. At Tc or below, the dominant cold color is fully expressed, thereby completely masking the non-dominant warm color.
As noted above, at temperatures between Tc and Th, the temperature responsive coloring composition is partially expressed. The infant drinking cup therefore expresses a hybrid color in this range. The hybrid color tends toward the dominant cold color as temperature approaches Tc. The cold color is preferably darker than the warm color. As a darker color, the cold color will typically mask the warm color whenever expressed.
Numerous species of compounds may be used to form the temperature responsive coloring composition; the selection depends upon the desired cold color, and the desired values for Tc and Th. Individual species will express different colors and do so at different critical temperatures.
Suitable temperature responsive coloring compositions may be formed from an olefin polymer and a thermochromic material. Olefin polymers containing alkoxysilane side chains may be particularly well suited. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein polypropylene is the base resin of the infant drinking cup 10, polypropylene should also form the base chain of the olefin polymer of the temperature responsive coloring composition.
The thermochromic material may include one of a number of suitable species of acid responsive chromogenic compounds. The selection of the specific chromogenic compound will, of course, depend on the desired cold color of the finished product and the desired critical hot and critical cold temperatures (Th and Tc). The thermochromic material also includes an acidic compound, the selection of which similarly depends upon the desired colors and the desired critical temperatures.
Suitable temperature responsive coloring compositions are commercially available from Matsui International Co., Inc. of Gardena, Calif. and are sold under the registered trademark "CHROMICOLOR".
Available cold colors for the temperature responsive coloring compositions (and thus for the cold color of the infant drinking cup) include yellow, orange, vermilion, rose, magenta, blue, green, black and brown. The possible warm colors of the cup are limited only by the availability of well known thermally stable pigments and, as noted earlier, that the cold color preferably be darker and dominant over the warm color. The most preferred embodiment of the invention is formed using various colors of CHROMICOLOR� type 17 obtained from Matsui International.
The temperature responsive coloring composition should be blended with the base resin at a concentration of between 5 and 20 percent by weight of temperature responsive coloring composition. In the preferred embodiment, wherein the base resin is polypropylene, the temperature responsive coloring composition has been found to be effective at concentrations between 6 and 10 percent by weight. A concentration of 6 percent by weight of temperature responsive coloring composition is preferred for reasons of economy. Additional additives well known to those skilled in the art, such as stabilizing agents and cross-linking agents, may also be added to the blend.
Once the base resin and the temperature responsive coloring composition have been blended, the blend is molded into the cup. Blow molding and injection molding are both acceptable techniques for producing the infant drinking cup, blow molding being presently preferred. Molding techniques conforming to standard polypropylene processing parameters have been found to be effective. Molding temperature normally should not exceed 235 degrees C., because temperatures greater than 235 degrees C. could cause damage to the temperature responsive coloring composition.
The cup may be molded in many different shapes and sizes, as well as colors. The preferred embodiment of the invention has a middle region of decreased diameter for easy grasping as can be seen in the drawings. The preferred embodiment is further provided with wave patterns formed from ridges in the cup (not shown in the Figures). The waves provide a good gripping surface for the user, and also provide decoration for the cup. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the number of esthetic designs which could be placed on the cup are limited only by the designers imagination.
The preferred embodiment of cup 10 further includes threads 22 disposed near the top of the cup. The threads are capable of receiving a lid or cap, as seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, the lid or cap preferably having a drink spout, straw or other means for minimizing spills and assisting in withdrawal of fluid from the cup. FIG. 4 shows an infant drinking cup 10 having a lid 30 disposed atop the cup 10. The lid 30 is removably engaged with the threads 22 of cup 10, threads 22 being shown in FIGS. 1 through 3. The lid 30 is provided with a drink spout 32. Drink spout 32 may come in many different forms well known to the skilled artisan. Some drink spouts provide a flap or valve within the spout structure to prevent spillage therefrom when the cup is unexpectedly inverted. Other spouts rely on the narrowness of the channel and aperture at the end of the spout to minimize spillage.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the cup 10 is provided with a lid 40 which is removably engaged with threads 22 seen in FIGS. 1 through 3. Lid 40 is provided with an aperture 42, through which straw 44 may be inserted. Most people will readily recognize that straws of many shapes and sizes may be substituted for straw 44 as shown.
Although the beverage consumer has been described as an infant herein, it should be obvious that many adults may also receive pleasure out of using a cup according to the present invention.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention.

Themie Karavites
U.S. State Department Federal Agent
Themie Karavites has served as a special agent in the United States Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service for the past 16 years. In this capacity, he has served as a member of the Secretary of State's protective detail, providing close-in protective security. Furthermore, he has undertaken five Department of State overseas tours in Greece, Iraq, Afghanistan, Angola, and Montenegro. Themie Karavites has also served as an investigator in the Washington Field Office and as a physical security advisor in the Project Coordination Branch, and has been an instructor in the Diplomatic Security Training Center's training academy in Dunn Loring.
Themistocles Karavites earned his BA in international relations at the University of South Carolina, where he was the beneficiary of a three-year, full scholarship from the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. He subsequently undertook Marine Corps officer leadership training at The Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, Virginia. Upon completion of TBS, he attended the Marine Corps Infantry Officer's Course (IOC), and served as an officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1994 to 1999.
During this period, Themistocles Karavites was assigned to Marine Corps Base Kaneohe, Hawaii as a platoon commander, later serving a second tour as a company executive officer and also a short time as company commander. Later assigned to Richmond, Virginia, he served as the officer selection officer for central and southeast Virginia. He was awarded two Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medals during his active-duty service with the Marine Corps.
The 2015 Honolulu Marathon
A reserve officer with the U.S. Marine Corps, Themistocles "Themie" Karavites currently serves as a special agent with the Diplomatic Security Service of the U.S. Department of State. Outside of work, Themie Karavites enjoys participating in marathons across the globe, including the Boston, Athens, and Honolulu Marathons.
The city of Honolulu, Hawaii, has held an annual marathon for more than four decades. The event draws over 25,000 participants each year, making it one of the most popular marathons in the world.
The 2015 Honolulu Marathon will take place on December 13th, beginning at 5 am on Ala Moana Boulevard. The course will take participants past some of Hawaii's most well-known landmarks, including Honolulu Harbor, Diamond Head volcanic crater, and Waikiki Beach. During the race, runners can refuel at 16 medical stations and cool down as they pass through misters assembled alongside the course. The marathon will conclude at the famous Kapiolani Park, where participants can partake in celebrations and receive a commemorative marathon shirt. For those who do not wish to run, the marathon features a simultaneous Race Day Walk, which is noncompetitive and spans only 6.2 miles of the 26.2-mile course.
About Bureau of Diplomatic Security Special Agents
A securities professional, Themistocles "Themie" Karavites is a reserve officer in the US Marine Corps. Additionally, Themie Karavites provides close-in protective security for the US Department of State as a Diplomatic Security (DS) special agent.
DS special agents handle security measures for visiting foreign dignitaries and ambassadors as well as the secretary of state. As part of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the agents are tasked with managing complex security problems related to foreign policy.
DS special agents spend much of their career overseas, working in US embassies and consulates. In fact, more than 1,900 special agents make up the task force. They coordinate efforts with regional security officers and security officials from host nations to develop and implement comprehensive security programs designed to safeguard personnel, infrastructures, and information from adversaries.
Because the Bureau of Diplomatic Security handles much of its work abroad, the division ensures its special agents come from varying backgrounds. This allows the bureau to manage security needs with a high level of cultural awareness. Further, agents must demonstrate exceptional strategic thinking skills and adaptability.
The Diplomatic Security Service: Protecting America's Diplomats
Themistocles (Themie) Karavites is a former US Marine and special agent with the Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). Themie Karavites has worked with the Department of State for almost 16 years, and during that time he has been deployed around the world in his role with the DSS.
The DSS is the arm of the Department of State responsible for the safety of diplomatic personnel both inside and outside of the United States. This means protecting American diplomats in their work abroad, as well as foreign dignitaries visiting the US. Created in 1916 by Secretary of State Robert Lansing during World War I, the DSS marks its centenary this year. Since that time, the service has grown to keep pace with the security needs of America's embassies and consulates around the world, and has evolved to meet the changing nature of security threats faced by America.
While the job descriptions of the men and women who serve with the DSS are diverse, they share in common the reality that they may have to give their lives to support the mission of the DSS. Over its history, the DSS has lost 137 personnel. These men and women are publicly honored with a memorial at the Washington D.C. headquarters of the DSS.

Solomon Schechter Day School Of Raritan Valley is a Conservative Jewish day school serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade located in East Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. It is affiliated with the Solomon Schechter Day School Association. The school's mission is "To operate a financially sound Jewish Day School that offers a superior general studies program coupled with a rich program in Judaic studies in an environment that thrives on Jewish values", with classes in all grades averaging 18 students.[1]
The school is located in the Raritan Valley, which covers Union, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties, as well as the northern portion of Middlesex County.
As of the 2007-08 school year, the school had an enrollment of 155 students and 22.0 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 7.0.[2]
Awards and recognition
During the 2009-10 school year, Solomon Schechter Day School of Raritan Valley was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.[3] The school was the only private school among the nine winners in New Jersey that year, one of 50 private schools nationwide to be honored and one of only two Jewish-affiliated schools to receive this recognition. Head of School Dr. Howard Rosenblatt indicated that the school qualified for this national honor by demonstrating sustained academic achievement in the school over a period of years. An application was submitted in fall 2008 and reviewed by the Council for American Private Education, which passes on its choices for private schools to be honored to the Department of Education.[4]

It's not as spacious as most of its rivals, but the less expensive 2010 Hyundai Tucson scores with reviewers from TheCarConnection.com and around the Web for its adult-sized seats and vastly better fit and finish.
At 173.2 inches long, 71.7 inches wide, and 66.3 inches tall, the 2010 Hyundai Tucson has a longer wheelbase and is wider than the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and Subaru Forester. And while it offers more interior room than the Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape, the Tucson has slightly less interior and cargo room than the Honda CR-V, and is significantly smaller inside than the Toyota RAV4-though Hyundai points out it offers more interior room than a BMW X3 or an Acura RDX. In all, there are 101.9 cubic feet of passenger space; 25.7 cubic feet lie behind the rear seat, and when it's folded down, the Tucson offers 55.8 cubic feet of cargo room, USA Today notes. Cars.com says that makes the 2010 Tucson "small"-rightfully so, since they also note the Tucson is shorter than a Ford Escape and "at least 6 inches shorter than a CR-V or Toyota RAV4." Still, the interior space is "larger than that of a BMW X3," Edmunds points out, while Motor Trend says "the cabin is roomier and is now more in line with the space provided by its competition."
Editors at TheCarConnection.com find the Tucson's front seat space very good with plenty of legroom, but the leather seats fitted to some test cars have a sloping bottom cushion that grows uncomfortable quickly. Automobile calls the front seats "comfortable," though Cars.com feels "drivers around 6 feet tall may find the driver's seat cramped," due to their impression of limited seat travel.
In the back, plenty of room for adults is available-"you'd think you were in a midsize machine," USA Today declares, "especially back-benchers." It's clear the Tucson's cloth seats are better choices than the leather-clad ones, since the cloth seats have longer bottom cushions. USA Today reports the backseat "doesn't slide fore-aft, as rivals' do," and Cars.com notes "some adjustability would be welcome," though it adds the "rear seats offer decent headroom and adequate legroom." Car and Driver observes the "rear bench sits high off the floor and offers enough legroom and knee clearance to allow a six-footer to sit behind himself." Autoblog likes the rear seats best: "The rear seats might even be better than those in the front, reminding us of the Infiniti FX's rear quarters - a compliment, to be sure."
Cargo room is large enough for medium-size pets, a significant amount of luggage, or enough groceries for a family of four for a week, though the Toyota RAV4 offers enough volume for a third-row seat. The cargo space "ranks near the bottom of the class," Cars.com points out, while USA Today observes it's "some 40% shy of main rivals'." Interior storage is well planned inside the Tucson, with cubbies and bottle holders in the console and door panels, as well as a deep glove box up front.
In TheCarConnection.com's experience, the fit and finish of prototype Tucson test vehicles was generally good-a vast improvement over the previous Tucson-though hard plastic is the rule of the cabin trim, not the exception. It "seemed more refined," USA Today observes, while Cars.com takes note of the "consistent, low-gloss appearance for most of the plastics within immediate view." Car and Driver says "the interior is even better" than the competition and feels "Hyundai is becoming the one to watch on interior quality at this price level." However, Autoblog sees "plenty of ticky tack plastic covering wide expanses." The 2010 Tucson seems reasonably quiet to most reviewers, with "some road noise," Motor Trend observes. But "when cruising, the Tucson is surprisingly quiet," Automobile asserts, and in part, that's the result of a "tight, vibration and body-movement free vehicle," Autoblog explains.

I am in my mid 30's I am very over weight as y'all can see. What is the best style's that make me more appealing to women. I am working hard fixing my insecurity and self confederates. I think cloths help a lot I tend to wear comfort fit blue jeans and bigger t=shirts because the bigger covers my belly better who want to see my belly hanging out my shirt. I find it gross and I am not some dumb slob.
and if you wondering I am the 35 single dad that's always posting

Clothing with structured fabrics is extremely flattering. Try to stay away from baggy hoodies and shirts, which tend to cling. Stick with structured coats such as jean jackets, leather jackets, military jackets, or whatever suits your style. These jackets make a long lean line because of the straight inseam under the arms, so it can be very slimming if you have anything you want to hide. Try and stick with clothing that has thicker fabrics and straight seams. This will create more of an up-and-down silouette than a rounded one.

Good luck! You're just fine as you are, so focus on being happy and feeling great, rather than how you look.10|10|0

Until that is, a classmate of his was diagnosed with diabetes. : ( So, since we were notified I've taken to sending "non-food" treats for class parties to ensure he is included and doesn't feel left out because he can't have the sweets & treats! It's great practice for next year too.
So I made these homemade watercolor paints, they were so simple to throw together and they work great! When I got the idea that the paints could be a rainbow I just Googled "homemade watercolors." This is the recipe I used:
