Terrell Davis somehow got very lucky and was asked to participate in the Tazon Latino Super Bowl last week. I don't think it was in his job description to "accidentally" feel up this woman but it happened.
It turns out this woman is Jackie Guerrido who is an extremely good looking weather girl for Univision. You can see the video of the alleged accident below.
And for good measure there is also a gif of her doing the salsa.

text: Posted February 8, 2012 · Report post So a little background: I've had mild acne since my teen years but was virtually clear from 16-29 (an occasional breakout here or there) while I was on birth control. Having a history of breast cancer in my family, my dr. encouraged me to go off bc asap. At 29 I decided I was finished having kids (I have 3!) and had a permanent bc procedure performed. I subsequently went off the pill. Within about 6 months I started having major breakouts - mostly along my jaw-line and on my chin, although I'd get the clogged comedones on my forehead and around my temples (everywhere, really). My skin was horrible. Talk about depressing, especially at 30 years old! I tried every otc product I could find, spent thousands of dollars. Nothing worked. So while google-ing dermatologists in my area, I came across this site. I decided that I have nothing else to lose at this point. I've been on the regimen (dkr's products) for 7 days. Two days ago, at day 5, my skin looked amazing - so, so, so impressed! However, I woke up yesterday with 3 large cysts on my chin. I've never had 3 cysts at once and not all in the same location like this. It's discouraging, although I know I'm only a week in. My forehead is completely clear and ALL of the comedones are gone, which is a huge improvement. Unlike a lot of people, I haven't had excessive drying. Days 2-4 were a little flaky, but I never felt the tightness or redness that people talk about. Actually, I'm sure oiliness caused by a hormonal imbalance is the source of my acne. I still notice the oil midday... I'm working on that with ACV, Vitamin A, Zinc and fish oils. We'll see if it helps. So far my regimen is as follows: Morning: DKR cleanser, DKR bp 1/2 finger, DKR moisturizer (I'm trying not to wear make-up but there are times when it's necessary (i.e. picking up my daughter from preschool where the other "trophy wives" flaunt their big hair and perfect skin, lol) Night: same as morning I'm also drinking 2 cups of Rooibos (red bush) tea per day and lots of water - I completely cut the dark sodas from my diet and only drink clear sodas on occasion. Will be adding AHA in a few weeks. Fingers crossed that I will have the same success as others! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congress sent President Barack Obama a bill that would bar Iran's choice for ambassador to the United Nations from stepping on US soil in an outcry over the prospect of a member of the group responsible for the 1979 takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran entering the country.
The House unanimously approved the legislation on Thursday by voice vote, four days after a similar vote in the Senate. The unusually quick action underscored the strong bipartisan opposition to Iran's choice. (AP)

I'm not kidding when I say UnBrickable. Modifying the OM pins means you can boot from USB, UART or MMC. This makes the phone quite UNBRICKABLE. There is nothing you can do software wise to prevent the device from booting into this mode. We are communicating with the unrewritable, efused IROM on the processor. It's the thing that makes the system on a chip into a "system on a chip".I am here now to tell you how to turn your Samsung Fascinates into a KIT-S5PC110 development board. The KIT-S5PC110 development board is the platform used to develop our phones. There are some differences between this mod and the official development platform. The S5PC110 has a removable internal SDCard and no touchscreen.
Why would you want to do this? When you plug in the battery and connect it to the computer in "off" mode, then press and hold the power button, it will become an S5PC110 board awaiting download of a program to run. This occurs long before anything like software or firmware enters the processor. This is the IROM of the device awaiting commands or a power on signal.
Because it is accepting a memory flash, anything may be put onto the device to perform a boot sequence..... Apple iOS (iPhone4 has the same processor) WP7 (mango supports this processor).
This will be a replacement for JTAG once we are able to make some firmware. How could it possibly be better then JTAG? Let's count the ways....
1. The only part required is a wire.
2. No shipping time.
3. No cost for a box to interface the computer.
4. Permanent.
5. Can be done as a preventive measure.
6. Gives the ability to test new Bootloaders temporarily.
7. Allows development of the entire system.
8. Removes worry about flashing and acts as a backup.
After performing this mod:
Remove the battery, replace the battery, your phone will connect to the computer via USB and await commands. Otherwise it will pretty much act like a Fascinate. See the Special Instructions section.
You will need:
1. Get someone who knows what they're doing with a soldering iron. If they don't know what flux is, then they don't know what they're doing. You can send me a PM (or email my firstname.lastname@example.com) or Connexion2005(aka MobileTechVideos.com) NOTE: I do not work with MobileTechVideos.com.
2. soldering iron - make sure it's sharp, if it's not sharp, then sharpen it, flux it and retin it.
3. flux
4. solder
5. tweezers
6. A relay (possibly- for the wire within to use as a bridge)
performing the modification:
1. tear apart your phone... Make sure to take out your SIM and external SDCard before you do this.
1A. Remove the screws.
1B. Separate the top case from the bottom case
1C. disconnect the display connector and free the camera and button assemblies from the case.
1D. Remove the mainboard
2. Perform the mod as follows: Replace the xOM5 resistor from the top position to the bottom position.
*OR: remove the xOM5 resistor and jumper the center pads of xOM5 to the center pads of xOM0 or xOM3.
3. reassemble the phone.
Special Instructions
- This replaces the battery charging sequence. The normal battery charging sequence can be activated by holding power for 4 seconds.
- To turn on the device, and operate in normal mode, you must hold the power button for 5 seconds.
- 3 button Download mode works as usual, however you must not have the S5PC110 drivers installed on the computer. You can use your custom rom menu option, adb reboot download, or use a terminal to "reboot download". 301Kohm Factory Mode JIGs work as well, but you must press power to bypass the S5PC110 mode.
- To enter recovery mode, press and hold power for 3 seconds, then hold volume + and volume - until SAMSUNG is displayed on-screen.
Congratulations. You now have a device which works like a KIT-S5PC110 with an OM Value of 29. Now get to developing some serious custom software. See here for setting up the UART output http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1235219

Not Exactly Standing-Room Only
NFL games can sometimes be the hardest ticket in sports. Teams play just eight regular-season home games a year and seats seem impossible to find—at the box office, anyway.
A survey conducted this off-season on more than 60 websites by SeatGeek.com shows that plenty of seats are available on the secondary ticket market, which includes websites in which ticket holders post their tickets at prices that often are significantly above face value.
At an average game at the Dallas Cowboys' 80,000-seat stadium, 24,278 seats are listed as available. The game with the most available seats this season is Dallas' Sept. 23 home matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—nearly 29,000 of them.
To be fair, Cowboys Stadium is unusually large for an NFL venue. Dallas went 8-8 last season, its third in the stadium.
The San Francisco 49ers' matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in December is the only non-Cowboys game in the top five, the survey found. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots occupied four spots among the five least-scalped games. The Buffalo Bills' Dec. 16 in Toronto against the Seattle Seahawks had the fewest seats available—only 698.

Hacker Help: How do I hack a table like this (part 3)?
Description: Does anybody have an idea how to make this table from IKEA parts? I like the table and would love to have a similar, so if somebody have an idea, please send it to me. Many thanks in advance.
~ Charlie, Sweden
16 Responses to Hacker Help: How do I hack a table like this (part 3)?
I think i have it !! Took me some time to measure on paint ..
Metal "bones" = EKBY MOSSBY 79*19 cm x 2
Shortsides of the "box" = EKBY JARPEN 79*19 cm x 2 (you need to cut this to 75*19 cm)
Longsides of the "box" = VIKA AMON 150*75 cm x 2
Tabletop = VIKA AMON 120*60 cm * 3 (you need to get these 3 togheter to make one big)
The only thing that wasn't glossy was the shortsides .. :/ Will probably build this table !
// Sweden
Where can I get that dining table from w/o hacking it with Ikea furniture?
I am thinking the large VIKA white tabletop attached to a white EXPEDIT 2 x 4, as the base. I realize it's not exact, but I think the cubes underneath provide a lot of possibilities for dish, tablecloth, other tableware storage, in nice boxes or straw baskets.
I'd love to have a kitchen table like this. Those chairs are great also. Ikea's selection of kitchen tables is poor.
Could use a pair of Ekby Mossy steel shelves with feet for the 'legs' on the base
I once had a table almost similar to this – loved it. It was square and the base more or less looked like a Lack table upside down. Maybe this thought can inspire you.
Two table tops from the larger Lack coffee table, two lack floating shelves and one numerar table top. Build box with the two shelves and the two Lack coffee table tops. Top one open side with the numerar. Done.
forgot to add …u will need to add suitable feet to the norden gateleg to prevent it from tipping over …get suitable stainless steel covered plywood cut into size attach to bottom of norden gateleg
get the norden gateleg …dunt attach the side panels
add a numerar work top on top of it
Using two ikea tabletops won't work without a base wide enough to support the table. You can see that there are two metal "feet" at the bottom of this table base. Maybe you can attach to Glant T legs to your table top and then cover them with two more table tops underneath (notched to fit the Galant legs inside the box created by the two table tops). The T part of the galant leg will stick out the bottom of your base at each end, something like the metal supports on this table. Hope this works.
Meant to say "Galant T-leg".
I think you are right. Dressing up a Galant would give the most stable option.
I've the exact same table in my living room Unfortunatly I can't helpt you because I bought that way.
vika amon in white
Vika amon is hallowed is it wouldn't work to cut.
The obvious answer would be to take two As-Is tabletops, flip one on its side, drill dowel holes where they'll fit together and then fasten them with dowel pins. The only trick will be finding a tabletop wide enough to be the base support: this might involve buying three of the same tabletops and fastening two together to make the base.

Legal Question in Disability Law in Wisconsin
Americans With disability Act
I had been an employee at a company for 8-1/2 years. In Oct. of 1997 I underwent a pancreas-kidney transplant that failed and required hospitalization and care for 10 months. After being back 6 months I was called into the personel directors office and told that my "position was being eliminated." It was elaborated that I was NOT being terminated. I was told that I would recieve 4 weeks severence pay and asked to walk out of the building. Desperately requiring the finances I signed the agrement not to sue the company and mailed them in. I recieved a certified letter requesting that the form be notorized. I again mailed the form back only kept the explanations of the agreement at home. I was once again contacted and told that all the forms were required. At this point I called the Personel Director and he stated that "we should have done this long ago to you..." Where do I stand with this situation?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Americans with Disabilities Act
Maybe Yes, Maybe No.
It is too early to tell whether you have the
facts for a successful case. Employers often
claim they have "eliminated a position" which
was filled with a person with a genuine handicap. It will be your burden to prove that the position was not actually eliminated. Maybe they gave it another name. Maybe they did a corporate shuffle. Maybe they told you that because if they had your release it wouldn't matter if they lied. . . . . And on and on and on. The employer's health insurer may have been behind it also. You'd be surprised at what sometimes surfaces or is dug up.
So . . . you have a very short statute of
limitations. Get thee to an employment lawyer
immediately. You must file in EEOC and your local antidiscrimination commission. Once you file, your attorney can learn the details.
Do you have, perhaps, have friends in the company to let you in on the new corporate hierarchy or structure or to tell you who took your place? What work did you do? Is it the sort of work which did not have to be done?

Coastal residents in La Jolla are contending with an increasingly vexing problem: low-flying helicopters at night.
"There's always been aircraft and helicopters that go along the coast at night, but in the last six months it has increased to the point where we started putting a notepad next to the bed and taking notes when helicopters would fly over," said Ed Quinn, who lives on Camino De La Costa.
Quinn's helicopter "log" for nine days July listed more than 30 flyovers, with multiple flights on several days staggered between 8:30 p.m. and 6:24 a.m.
Conceding that nighttime flights may be a necessity on occasion - and citing a June 1 WindanSea Beach drug bust where smugglers offloading marijuana from a boat were caught as an example - Quinn noted their frequency and intensity is becoming hard to bare.
"It's not only that they fly close to the shore but over houses at a very low level at 9, 11 (p.m.), 3:30 a.m. and wake you out of a sound sleep," he said. "The whole house would shake because they'd be so low."
A number of private and public helicopters are operated by all levels of government - local, state and federal - at all hours of the day and night in San Diego: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection (CPB), San Diego Fire-Rescue and the San Diego Police Department.
Jackie Dizdul, a spokeswoman for the customs agency, said because of operational security, that she could not provide detailed information about specific missions flown by air interdiction agents, such as specific times and locations of patrols or other missions.
"CBP conducts many missions utilizing various helicopters and other aircraft," she said. "Of these, an extremely important mission locally is securing the San Diego coastline against any maritime threat that may present itself, to include not only illegal narcotic and alien smuggling activity, but any threat, up to and including terrorists or terrorist weapons."
Even so, Quinn said a "shocking pattern" is developing that is "continuing and escalating" with early morning flights that "shocked us and other neighbors."
"There's got to be some of compromise that can be made," Quinn said.
A spokesman for Assemblywoman Susan Davis, D-San Diego, said they have received La Jollans' complaints of low-flying helicopters at night and are investigating.
A Coast Guard spokeswoman, Petty Officer Allyson Conroy, acknowledged that one flight Quinn recorded on July 14 could have been a crew "conducting a search pattern for a mayday call" but that the times didn't coincide specifically with what he reported.
She reviewed the rest of his log and said no others matched.
She added in an e-mail that "when the flight crews are looking for something/one in the water, they have to fly low enough to be able to see - it is not uncommon for them to fly as low as 300 feet. If they are searching for something/one close to the surf/shoreline, they will sometimes fly directly over the beach."
The Coast Guard conducts normal flight patrols day and night for search-and-rescue and law enforcement missions, although there is no pattern to the Coast Guard's flight schedule.
"It is dependent on working with our harbor partners, including Customs and Border Protection," she said.
Conroy added training is not usually conducted after 10 p.m.
Though unable to give specifics, CBP's Dizdul noted that, of the recent early-morning flyovers reported in the La Jolla area, that "it is highly likely that many, if not all, of the instances involved assets belonging to other law enforcement, military, or other entities."
Bill Dalby with Montgomery Field Airport Operations said as a general rule that all aircraft must be at least 1,000 feet above the ground when flying above populated areas. He noted helicopters are required to observe Visual Flight Rules, meaning they must "remain clear of clouds."
Dalby added private helicopters can, but very seldom do, fly at night along the coast.
"Law enforcement helicopters that have night vision and a mission that requires them to fly low are the ones doing a lot of patrolling up and down the coastline at night," he said.
Dalby added helicopters flying north to south along the coast have to fly below 1,800 feet or above 3,200 feet to be clear of a flight corridor dedicated to Miramar military air space.
A spokesman for MCAS Miramar did not return calls for comment.

Super trawler pledges to 'move on'
The company bringing a super trawler to Tasmania has pledged to restrict fishing in individual areas to avoid depleting local fish stocks.
Seafish Tasmania is bringing the 142-metre Margiris to Devonport to fill its 18,000 tonne quota for redbait and jack mackerel.
Recreational fishers and conservationists have opposed the plan, saying the massive trawler could wipe out local fish stocks.
Seafish Tasmania has confirmed it will operate the trawler under a "move on" provision and will move at least 100 nautical miles after catching a certain amount of fish from a particular area.
But it is not clear how much fish the Margiris will take from an area before it moves.
Recreational fishers have criticised the plan.
Mark Nikolai from TARfish says Seafish Tasmania had previously outlined its plan during talks with recreational fishers and conservationists.
"There is no scientific basis that it would actually work or that it would address the specific issue of local area depletion," he said.
"So we couldn't make a decision one way or the other whether it would be effective."
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority is yet to receive a registration application for the super trawler.
It is due to start fishing Commonwealth waters from Western Australia to New South Wales by the end of the month.
The trawler needs to be reflagged and marked, and then licensed by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) before it can start fishing.
But the maritime authority says it has not received an application for the trawler to be registered in Australian waters.

Two recent studies reveal important trends about the growth of the downtown areas of American cities. According to a new study by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses are the drivers of inner city economies and job growth. At the same time, the first-ever estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau on the Daytime Population of cities and counties indicate that the population of downtown areas varies dramatically between daytime and nighttime hours.
State of the Inner City Economies: Small Businesses in the Inner City reports that small businesses comprise more than 99 percent of business establishments in inner cities and generate 80 percent of the total employment in those areas. Inner city businesses employ about 8 percent of the private workforce or about 9 million Americans. Job growth in the inner city and outside it, is concentrated in service industries. In addition, the study notes that these inner city businesses exhibit similar startup and bankruptcy rates to businesses in other parts of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
âThis report demonstrates that local entrepreneurs are not only the backbone of inner city economies but their strongest source of new jobs,â Steve Adams, Region I Advocate for the Office of Advocacy and former Director of the Center for Urban Entrepreneurship at the Pioneer Institute said in a prepared statement announcing the results. âPolicy makers should take note of these findings showing that supporting new and established entrepreneurs in inner cities should take priority in their urban development strategies.â
The study is part of a larger project undertaken by the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), which is partially funded by the Office of Advocacy. Other funding agencies include the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. The full report can be found on the Office of Advocacy web site at www.sba.gov/advo.
For anyone spending part of their day stuck in traffic on the way into or out of a downtown area, the concept of daytime population explosion just makes sense. It is also logical that, according to data from the Census Bureau, those places experiencing the largest percent increases are those having the smallest resident populations. Cities with larger populations see a smaller percentage of increase but that percentage often represents a larger number of people coming into an area that also has a significant number of residents. Among some of the highlights discovered by the daytime population study are:
- New York City has the largest estimated daytime population at more than 8.5 million people. This is an increase of more than 500,000 people over the nighttime population however it only represents a 7 percent increase over the nighttime population.
- Lake Buena Vista, Florida has the largest percentage increase at 192,238 percent the Associated Press reports when its population of 62 grows to more than 30,000 during the day.
- Washington D.C. has the second highest numeric increase with 410,000 commuters boosting daytime population by 72 percent.
âInformation on the expansion or contraction experienced by different communities between nighttime and daytime is important for many planning purposes, including those dealing with transportation and disaster relief operations,â Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon said in a prepared statement. âBy providing information on the number of people not living in the area, but nevertheless greatly affected by the event, the data can provide a clearer picture of the effects of disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.â
The data used in the daytime population estimates was collected during the 2000 Census. Additional detailed tables are available on the U.S. Census Bureau web site at www.census.gov.
Based on these two reports, it is easy to see that the economies and experiences of American downtown and inner city areas is larger and more diverse than previously recognized.

Nearly three months to the day since the official app first became available for download through the Google Play Store, Redbox Instant has finally come out of the beta testing stage to offer unlimited movie streaming to the general public. And it is right on schedule. But does it have what it takes to properly steal some market share away from the likes of Netflix?
In case you didn't know, Redbox Instant is the product of a collaboration between Redbox and Verizon that aims to bring a new unlimited movie streaming service to users in the U.S. It is set to take on similar offerings from not only Netflix, but also the likes of Hulu and even online retail giant Amazon. It also works with a monthly subscription service model, just like its aforementioned competitors.
One of the most interesting things about it is the fact that as a service, it is relatively inexpensive. Those who would like to start enjoying the benefits of Redbox Instant may do so now by signing up to pay a mere $8 per month. And for that much money, they'll be given unlimited access to not just video streaming but also a total of four one-night DVD rentals per month through Redbox kiosks. For now, Redbox Instant is only available to users in the U.S.
Redbox Instant appears to hold a lot of promise, but if it is to become successful, then it needs to have a much bigger catalog than it does now — just to be able to stand up to the competition.
What do you think? Does Redbox Instant appeal to you as an up-and-coming unlimited movie streaming alternative? Or do you feel like what you are using currently is good enough, and Redbox Instant is not even worth checking out? Can Redbox Instant perhaps provide anything that might get you to finally try out a service like it? Sound off in the comments.

- It is very difficult to grow orchids from the seeds. They have very complex growth requirements. Orchids need to be planted in a pot that does not retain excess water. They also need a particular fungus and lots of nutrients to grow.
- So, it is better to buy small orchid plants that are already planted in pots from the market. They are much easier to grow and do not have so many varied growth requirements.
- You also should plant them in plastic pots with a hole underneath for proper drainage.
Soil and Water
- Orchids need a lot of nutrient supplement from the soil. Hence you need to make sure that the pot is filled with a good amount of fertilized soil.
- You also have to fertilize the soil once the plant is in it's full bloom.
- Orchids can grow in very little water. So, if you want proper orchid growing then be very careful not to water your orchids excessively. Caring for orchids is very easy. Just make sure to water them once in a week. And do not allow them to stay in water logged pots.
- For a good orchid growing plant them in an area where they will get abundant sunshine all throughout the day. They need lots of sun to grow well.
Pruning And Caring
- You may cut the flowering stem once the flowers have withered away. Another stem will regrow from the same place and flower.
- But before doing so you should know the breed of your plant first. If it is one of them that bears flower from the same stem year after year, then you better not prune it.
- Caring for orchids is very easy. You need to re-pot them once in a year. It will be much easier to re-pot them if they are planted in a plastic pot. The roots can be easily moved from one pot to the other in this case.
Consider all these factors before you grow orchids at home.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a constantly available flushing device to be used in conjunction with slow infusion of liquids into a human or other animal body and more particularly seeks to provide a device having a single channel input and a dual channel output whereby one output is for normal slow infusion flow through the device in its normal state (which is generally under constant known pressure) and the second outflow is for a fast flushing flow which occurs only during the time when simple pressure is applied to an actuator, said actuator being movable, in a direction transverse to the liquid flow direction through the device by the thumb and forefinger of the holding hand, leaving the other hand free for other activity.
Catherization laboratories, surgical suites, intensive care units and even normal ward procedures in a hospital constantly call for the infusion of various kinds of liquid from a container into the human body at a controlled and generally fairly slow rate of flow. An attachment may be made to a surface vessel by an I.V. set with a short catheter or cannula or may be made deeper into the body through catheters or other tubular devices. In many cases, between the patient and the liquid source, particularly where there are multi-liquid sources or connections to determine or monitor various blood conditions, such as pressure, heart rate, etc., there may be a manifold or a series of stopcocks in the line. These are provided with valve cores to direct liquid in different directions at various times by an operator turning the valve cores, which is a permanent change until the valve core is changed again. This dictates the need for a manifold or stopcock systems which require careful attention by the operator to flush or clean the systems.
The Reynolds et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,891 provides an in-line flushing device that is applicable to these systems. The Reynolds flushing liquid flow is parallel to the movable axis of the valve, does not stop normal flow during flushing, prevents an elongated obstruction to the flushing flow, and requires two hands of the operator, i.e., one to hold the device and a second to pull the valve stem.
It is an object of this invention to provide a device that fast flushes only during, and merely by, the application of pressure to a small actuator by one finger of the hand that holds the device in a fixed position.
It is another object of this invention to provide a device that may be used for flushing on momentary notice without use of manifolds, stopcocks or other extraneous equipment.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such a device that is simple enough in construction and economical enough to be used as a one-time, throw-away device if desired.
It is also an object of this invention to provide such a device wherein the actuator moves transversely to the liquid flow and leaves no obstruction in the open side of liquid flow.
From these and other objects, the nature of which will be apparent, the invention will be more fully understood by references to the drawings, the accompanying detailed description and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a horizontal plan view of a flushing device constructed in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view taken from the left of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view taken from the right of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a plan view taken from the top of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a plan view taken from the bottom of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a partial section through the large plane of FIG. 1 when the device is in flushing flow position; and
FIG. 7 is a somewhat different partial section when the device is in normal flow position.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the invention as illustrated is embodied in a transparent plastic unit designed to be placed in an I.V., arterial or other undwelling line so that fast flushing may be done by merely applying pressure to the actuator by a thumb or finger of the device-holding hand without any further changes being made in the line.
The flushing device includes a transparent housing 6 with a large internal bore 7 extending throughout the width of the housing except for restrictive annular flange 8 which is followed by an even larger bore portion 9 that is defined annularly by end flange 11. An upper dome 12 is provided with an angularly disposed infusion inlet fluid passage 13 and a secondary fluid passage 14 to both of which are attached locking lures 15 and 16, respectively, or other conventional (male or female) means for attaching tubing, needles, or other medical instruments. Secondary fluid passage 14 passes completely through the device to male exit hub 20 which may be any conventional connecting means (male or female). A lower dome 17 is provided with a flushing exit passage 18 and the normal exit passage having a short span 19 with about the same diameter as the flushing passage, and a longer passage 21 immediately below which is much wider than the flushing passage.
Within the internal bore 7 is slidably mounted an elongated cylindrical member 22 that comprises from left to right an activator extension 23, an enlarged annular offset 24, a left O-ring seat 26, an annular fluid passage 27, a right O-ring seat 28, and a spring housing portion 29 which encloses a depressed spring inset 31.
When this is positioned within the bore, left O-ring 32 is mounted in seat 26 and right O-ring 33 is mounted in seat 28, which also serves as bearings and seals when member 22 is moved back and forth within the bore 7. The right end of bore 7 is closed with a cap 34 to enclose spring 36 in the position shown.
The activator extension 23 extends through annular flange 8 into the larger bore portion 9. Adhesively secured to the activator extension is activator button 37 which fits and slides snugly within larger bore portion 9 and extends for approximately a 1/4" beyond flange 11 which permits the fingers or other pressure to push the activator button against spring 36 for that distance that the button extends beyond flange 11 in its normal seating capacity when the spring normally forces it to the left.
The lower dome 17 is also enclosed with a cap 38 which provides a channel 39 wherein exit passages 18 and 21 are joined. A second channel 40 is disposed at a right angle to and joins channel 39 with secondary fluid passage 14. Within the larger exit passage 21 is mounted a resistor 41 with a capillary bore 44 as is well known in the art that controls the rate of fluid flow through the exit passage. These capillary bores are commonly sized to control fluid flow at 1, 3, 6, 30, or other cubic centimeters against a 300 mm Hg fluid source pressure. This permits constant flow into, without interference from, the fluid pressure of the patient. The cap is provided with an outlet socket 42 within which is mounted a luer 20 or other similar device for attaching various medical instrumentation.
This device is designed for insertion into an infusion line that is in an artery, vein, heart or other area and will be connected by conventional means and fixtures, such as luers, and the line may contain other conventional equipment, such as filters, I.V. sets, stopcocks, manifolds, catheters, etc. Inlet 16 is particularly adapted for attachment of a transducer but other equipment monitoring and otherwise may be attached at this point or a cap may be placed over this luer if the unobstructed passage is not needed.
The operation of the device is best understood from FIGS. 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 6, no pressure is being applied to activator button 37 so that spring 36 is forcing cylindrical member 22 to the left. The fluid flow is thus through inlet 13 into the chamber between the two O-rings 32 and 33 and into exit passage 19 through the small bore 44 and resistor 41 which controls the rate of flow, then to exit passage 21 into channel 39, then channel 40 and finally into secondary fluid passage 14 to pass out of the exit hub 20. The by-pass exit passage 18 is blocked by O-ring 33 in FIG. 6 so that the fluid can not pass through that passage.
Then as shown in FIG. 7 the activator button 37 is pushed to the right so that O-ring 32 now blocks exit passage 19 to the restricted bore 44 but has now opened the flushing by-pass exit 18. Thus the fluid flow now from between the O-rings 32 and 33 is through by-pass passage 18 into channel 40 and into the secondary fluid passage 14. The bore 18 being relatively large compared to 44, there is no relative restriction to passage of fluid during the time the device is in the position shown in FIG. 7. The fluid is passed through in relatively high volume for as long as the activator button 37 is pushed to the right and only as long as it is held in that right position. As soon as the activator button is released, the O-rings move to the left and the fluid passage is resumed through the restricted bore 44.
This obviously permits the operator to hold device 6 in one hand and to activate the button 37 with the thumb or one finger without use of the other hand to provide instantaneous, foolproof flushing of the system. Flushing is desired for several purposes, and particularly to prevent clotting at a blood liquid interface which generally is slightly downstream from the tip of the catheter in the vein or artery. If the interface is not maintained at a distance beyond the catheter tip, there is a tendency for clotting to occur at the catheter tip, and since indwelling catheters or cannulae infusions may by for extended periods of time, this risk increases by the amount of time. Therefore, it is helpful to be able to flush the system on a regular basis to overcome any such clotting. Furthermore, there may be other reasons for flushing the system or for adding within the line other materials which it is desired to feed in larger volume rather than the restricted volume required by bore 44.
Various other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art for the full proof but temporary normal flow by-pass permitted by this device.

thoughts on toddler boy in dance
Posted by + Show Post
The idea of sticking my 3 year old in dance scares me, but I know he would enjoy it. I'm just torn because of judgment boys who dance have. I have a traditional family where boys need to play football and baseball anything else makes them gay. I have a very energetic boy who loves to sing and dance and be the center of attention andjust recently learned about rythem and moving its adorable. But iI dondon't want to have to listen to my whole family give me crap. Dance doesn't make you gay Ijust want my son to enjoy himself.

In my town, for your first year of football, baseball, and wrestling (pee wee, 6th grade, and 9th grade) all of the boys are placed in ballet and acrobat free of charge because help with balance and stamina. The middle and high school parents can opt out if their kid goes to 6 weeks of dance camp. Three of my nephews later voluntarily went on to take hip hop classes. No stigma, no picking...all of the boys do it and a lot of them think the dance classes are harder than sport practice.

Margaret's Musings: The world is upside down...
Memorial Day has always been a special and generally solemn occasion in my family. This year was no different as I attended two memorial services at two different cemeteries near my hometown of Walworth. At each a list of the war dead from our tiny community was read from World War l through Vietnam. Thankfully we have not had to read a local casualty from either Iraq or Afghanistan. As the day went by I began to ponder the present state of our nation.
When did it happen?
When did our college students begin to graduate with the belief that profits were evil? When did companies start to feel the need to apologize for making manufacturing more efficient with the use of robots? When did the U.S. Constitution become a negative document? When did the media begin to fail one of its primary charges, as a watch dog over all three branches of the government?
When did the president of the United States decide one of his friends was a communist dictator, detouring Air Force One to pay him a visit? When did the government take control of the three major industries? When did the government write over 160,000 pages of regulations to control us? When did enemies become friends and friends become enemies? When did law-abiding businesses and their owners warrant searches by gun-toting federal bureaucrats?
When did capitalism and the free market become synonymous with evil? When did economic success become something to belittle? When did communism again become the fad? When did a communist party member become an inside member of the White House staff? When have we had a president endorsed by the Communist Party USA? When did the majority of the member states of the United Nations condemn the United States, Britain and Israel in an all-out assault on the democracies of the west?
Are you young enough to remember the true meaning of these phrases: redistribution of wealth, central planning, indoctrination, collectivism and infiltration?
Socialism and communism have failed in every country, at the expense of millions of lives and yet with each act of over-reaching power, taken by our president with the help of his nearly 38 czars, we are losing more and more individual freedoms in our own country. The stage for this was set in decades of abuse, over spending and yes crony capitalism, practiced by lawmakers, lobbyists and even the likes of Warren Buffett.
This year the federal government took over reporting on the jobs numbers. Up until this year the state by state numbers were compiled by each state. This year for the first time, that task was taken over by the federal government. Both Wisconsin and Minnesota disputed the federal numbers when they were released earlier this month. One has to wonder why.
Since our country's birth in 1776, men and women of all races and nationalities have fought and died for our freedom and the freedom of many other countries around the world and yet revisionists would have us believe all this death was because we are an imperialist power.
We must remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and their numbers include: American Civil War, 625,000, dead; World War II, 405,399, dead; World War I, 116,516, dead; Vietnam War, 58,209, dead; Korean War, 36,516, dead; American Revolutionary War, 25,000, dead; War of 1812, 20, dead; Mexican-American War 13,283 dead; War on Terror (Iraq and Afghanistan) 6,280 dead and the Philippine-American War, 4,196, dead. This data may not include 2011 and 2012 casualties.
Perhaps the best thing any of us can do to pay our respects to those who have sacrificed is to VOTE. It is your right, use it while you still can.

SG: Thank you. Salam aleikum. It is a great pleasure to meet all distinguished journalists. I arrived this afternoon and I had a very good meeting with President Karzai, and just now I had about an hour long meeting with the civil society leaders. It has been quite useful and inspiring to hear their concerns and voices and their aspirations how and what they really want, how they are going to shape the future of Afghanistan. We are in a very historically crucially important timing, transiting to a more responsible more [inaudible] by Afghan people and [inaudible] transforming your society.
I think this is only natural progression.
Afghan people and Government have suffered too much and too long in fighting against [inaudible] and international terrorism, international community also suffered a lot of sacrifices in the course of fighting against this terrorism. Now is the right time and I think this vision by [inaudible] President Karzai is a proper one at this time. By 2014, Afghan Government and people will be able to shape their own future under their own responsibility, this should be Afghan-led, Afghan owned process toward a better more secure more prosperous world. This is what we support.
More than a 100 member states and organizations are going to participate in tomorrow's conference. They have been many historic milestone meetings, conferences starting from the 2001 Bonn conference, now this is exactly 10th anniversary. In-between there are many such meetings where I have been participating. [Inaudible] is more important rather than all these conferences than all these recommendations and declarations should be implemented and delivered [inaudible] to people.
It will be a very difficult coming few years but please know that you are not alone, you will be supported by the United Nations you will be supported by all the international community.
The theme of this conference 'transition to transformation' is quite appropriate that means the Afghan people and Government are now engaging more proactively with the international community. That again means you are going to assume your responsibility and security in development then I''d like to just tell you as I have already repeated in my press conference with the German Foreign Minister. My first message is that there should be a fundamental link between security and development.
Now is the time for the Afghan Government to strengthen your capacity of your institutions your national armed forces, your national police and other administrative institutions enhance good governance and eradicate all these corruptive practices that have been prevalent in your country and establish rule of law, eradicate and fight against this drug trafficking, promote basic human rights and dignity and provide all dignified lives to the people.
Thirdly I think this is also very important promote and protect the human rights and basic needs of women and girls, half of your population are women. Without fully utilizing, without fully empowering the women of your society, how can they expect the development of society or political stability and you should have [inaudible] based on dialogue and consensus.
There are many different ideas and different groups all these should be overcomed then some flexibility and compromise for the better and greater wellbeing, greater things of your country. The United Nations will always be with you during this transition and beyond 2014. And I heard from civil society leaders that there should be an even greater role to be played by the United Nations but basically and ultimately it is Afghan people who have to lead this process and your role as media journalists are very important. You have the tools to educate and inform the people and you have the role to connect your people with international community, your people with United Nations.
Without your role it will be very difficult but you are taking a very active role delivering correct and true stories and educated stories will help this process much more accelerate and much more smoothly progressing and I really count on your support on this matter. Thank you very much, and I will be happy to receive questions.
Q: Excellencies, Secretary-General, I belong to a non-state media in Afghanistan and as you mentioned the [inaudible] consultation is to work on very important issues in the coming days since if there is no stability and peace no sector actors can develop. But now the issue is that the process is going on since last almost more than six years in the [inaudible] case and after that the Peace High Commission was from last year but in all these periods you don''t see any desirable results and many believe that Mr. Karzai doesn''t have that capacity and after the depth of [inaudible] and many believe that he doesn''t have the credibility too. And there are other independent voices in Afghanistan who are raising objection about the intentions of Mr. Karzai and his approach is not comprehensive. So they are asking more supervision from the United Nations that to control this process since Mr. Karzai is not delivering in all sectors of life. So what do you say about that?
SG: The process might have been frustrating, as you said you have not had much tangible results out of this reconciliation process but I believe that this reconciliation process should owned and led by Afghan people. We will always be there to facilitate this process. I believe President Karzai he has vision, he has commitment to promote reconciliation. Unfortunately the tragic death of former President Rabbani was a setback, very tragic but you cannot just sit and regret what has happened already you have to move ahead that is what I delivered my own message was to strongly urge President Karzai to move ahead [inaudible] he is ready to provide some technical assistance based on our experience and know how's. He has established this solemn support group and President also has established a High Peace Council and this right time now as you are going to assume greater responsibility that without reconciliation, it will be extremely difficult so there should be a dialogue based on the mutual understanding and compromise regardless of what you believe in and this after all is your country and you should lead this process. The UN will always be standing behind you supporting your efforts.
Q: What's the most important topic of the conference and what are your expectations from the neighbours countries such as Iran?
SG: Well there are many important aspects and agendas this conference can achieve, basically we are not going to have any different process, any new process but this will be one of the very important processes going toward a right direction, toward greater responsibility, even full responsibility by Afghan people for your own security for your own development. Based upon what had already been agreed on two years ago. We started with process last month and we will build upon this. The relationship with neighbouring countries is very important. That is one of the important factors which you can make progress in reconciliation and also peace and security and development. You read that the Pakistani delegation has decided not to come but that doesn''t mean that Pakistan is not committed. I believe that Pakistan is committed to work together with the Afghan people and also to promote peace and security in the region and this is mutual interest and you should also have closer cooperation with many Central Asian countries and now that you mentioned Iran, this also has become a source of concerns, I have urged the members of the international community particularly this E3 process [inaudible] to continue to engage with the Iranians for the resolution of all these nuclear issues and we should also engage Iranians so that they will behave responsibly as a member of the international community for global and regional peace and security.
Q: Mr. Ban Ki-moon, how will the role of the UN in Afghanistan change after 2014?
SG: The United Nations will continue to play a crucial and important even greater role. The United Nations will be responsible during this transitional period, to be responsible for civilian transition and military transition will be done by the ISAF members but after this we will mobilize all United Nations agencies and funds and programmes to deliver a social economic help, to help Afghan Government promote reconciliation and enhance nation capacity in good governance, eradicating practices now being prevalent and trying to eradicate the drug traffickings and try to help establish the rule of law.
Those are important and non-military aspects where the United Nations can help Afghan people. [inaudible] have emphasizes on many occasions with you, providing dignified lives to marginalized and vulnerable people, particularly women and girls and the women also continue to provide the [inaudible] to many people the cause should be how to have many educated human resources, that would be the foundation of your [inaudible].

If you've ever heard of this album you'll notice it's sort of popular. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know these guys actually wrote more than this album. The best way to put it is that this album is the "Hipster's Industrial Metal Album", but just like a new single from any irritating pop "artist", it's faded out. Probably because people woke up and realized that this album is awful.
We'll start with the vocals on this one. They sound very Max Cavalera-esque, and almost Justin Broadrick's Godflesh. Of course, these are just rip off's of it. Bell sounds like he's having issues when he sings. It's not pleasant on the ears and I listen to death metal too, so that says something. Trying to accurately portray his voice would involve a lot of unintelligent, the only way it's unintelligent is because he thought it was a good idea, screaming. The clean vocals are more bearable but it's hard to shine through the shit-smeared vocals commonly used. Ok, and the way he sings on "A Therapy For Pain" and "Replica". If you have a god start calling him awful because I cat being mutilated is more audibly pleasurable to a PETA member than Bell's vocals are on "A Therapy For Pain" to any human or should be to any human. He just sounds bad, plain and simple. Also, "A Therapy For Pain" is a tortuously long song. It's ten minutes but it drags on and on then they threw on some effects for two straight minutes and that's the worst song on the album in a nutshell.
The guitarists just sound uninspired. Seriously, the whole album is just palm muting and power chords. The same thing for three to five minutes. When "H-K (Hunter Killer)" started I almost expected to hear "Demanufacture" again. I've seen more variety from the various The Crow movies than these guys have when it comes to riffs. Any mongoloid can stand up there in a black t-shirt and cargo shorts, trying to look tough and fondling the guitar neck while they show off the one thousand palm-muting variations they came up with in their free time while head banging to the painful shouts of a man being beaten on stage. It's not impressive and it never will be. Maybe Fear Factory should just quit or change styles. As usual, the bass is buried under the mix. The drumming isn't as impressive as the guitars. It sounds like a drum machine was used since the music is very cut-and-paste oriented. Honestly, I'm just going to save you the same thing over and over because you'll hear it on the album if you don't heed my warnings to stay away.
The production is clear but the band probably needed it so you could hear just how repetitive the music is. There's a lot of effects on this album, but it's nothing to get excited about. It makes Bell's vocals sound worse, like on "Demanufacture". They also add no dynamic to the music. It's like they threw it in because they could not because it truly added anything. They appear in the form as pointless openers otherwise they're tossed in as is evident on "Demanufacture".
I don't like the lyrics on this album. The chorus to "Self Bias Resistor" is cheesy, especially paired with the clean vocals of Burton Bell accompanied with the annoying vocal effect. "Demanufacture" has some bad lyrics too. Espcially the "I've got no more goddamn regrets, I've got no more goddamn respect". Singing like that I'd imagine no one would respect you. Never have I heard anyone utter such foolish words such as "Burton Bell is a great vocalist" or "I draw inspiration from Burton Bell". The part that's worse is when he degenerates it into "Regrets, Respect". It sounds moronic, because it is. They seem to try and mix lyrical themes with something mechanic. It doesn't work and it looks like they tried too hard to make it sound cool. I also have to note on "New Breed" Bell sounds like he's chanting "War bred retard" and "New bride". Not even close to what the lyrics say.
Fear Factory tried too hard to be badass here on this album. These shit-smeared mongoloids have produced one of the worst metal albums to exist. The fame overshadowed the actual ability of the band. It faded out before they could ride it's coattails all the way back into social relevancy. Unless you, just like a one night stand, got drunk and got stuck with this forsaken problem-child are still listening to the other festering bowel movements they've released. If only you noticed it sooner then you could've aborted this fetal issue, but now you've let it get 17 years old and no one wants it. I don't recommend this album to anyone. Whether you're interested in listening to industrial metal or are and avid listener to industrial metal you can live without listening to it. I was going to be nicer to this album and give it a 2% but it wasn't even that good.
"I don't wanna live that way, I don't wanna live that way"- Burton Bell on Fear Factory's social relevancy.

Aaron Schaffhausen, 34, of Minot in North Dakota, turned himself in to police after authorities found the girls in their own beds, covered by blankets up to their necklines.
The girls - Amara, 11, Sophie, 8, and Cecilia, 5 - had died from "sharp force injuries" to their necks, according to a post-mortem report prepared by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office.
"Their throats were slit," said District Attorney Eric Johnson at a press conference, according to the Hudson Star-Observer.
"I have been a prosecutor for 30 years and this is the worst case I've seen."
Schaffhausen faced the St Croix County Circuit Court on Thursday where Mr Johnson asked for a $2m (£1.3m) cash bail.
Judge Howard Cameron adjourned the case until July 24, when a preliminary bail hearing is scheduled to be held.
Police had been called to the girls' house in River Falls, Wisconsin, about 3:35pm local time on Tuesday after Jessica Schaffhausen - Schaffhausen's ex-wife - rang police and said Mr Schaffhausen had told her that he'd hurt the couple's children.
Police then discovered the girls' bodies lying in their own beds.
Earlier in the day, Schaffhausen had contacted Ms Schaffhausen and asked if he could stop by her house to spend some time with his daughters.
She was not home at the time, but agreed to allow the visit.
Schaffhausen allegedly arrived at the house, relieved the girls' babysitter, and then later rang Ms Schaffhausen to say he had "harmed" the couple's daughters, Fox News reported.
Schaffhausen is facing three mandatory life sentences in relation to the killings.
He remains in custody in the St Croix County Jail.

A few weeks ago [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Diddy[/lastfm] was spotted out on the town in Las Vegas with R&B singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Christina Millian[/lastfm] at the Palms Hotel. The two of them were even said to be affectionate in public.
Supposedly while the two of them were out at one point she was even sitting in his lap as if they were a couple. Although we are uncertain if they have something going on for sure, the fact that there are rumors about [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Diddy[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Cassie[/lastfm] circulating isn't a good look. After all Ms. Millian and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Cassie[/lastfm] are friends so I'm a little puzzled on how this would pan out.

WITH two large bushfires burning in Victoria's east, crews have also been kept busy by smaller fires across the state.
In the alpine region, about 250 firefighters continued to tackle the Harrietville fire as Wednesday's dry, windy heat fuelled the blaze, creating huge smoke plumes, the CFA said.
The fire is yet to be contained and could cross the Great Alpine Road - which remains closed near Harrietville - about 12 kilometres south of the town, moving west, it said.
Grass fires also broke out near the western towns of Ballarat and Warrnambool, but neither had threatened properties, and both were declared safe within about an hour, a CFA spokeswoman said.
"Small things have been happening, but they've all been controlled fairly quickly," she said.
"The weather will continue to get hotter, though, so we'll have to wait and see what happens overnight."
Daily maximum temperatures are tipped to reach the mid-to-high 30s in much of the state until Sunday.
Most of Victoria will be subject to a total fire ban on Thursday, with many areas experiencing a severe fire danger rating, after bans in four fire districts on Wednesday.
The total fire ban is in effect for the northern, northeast, East Gippsland, West and South Gippsland, central and north central districts for Thursday.
About 140 firefighters have been deployed at the Aberfeldy fire in Gippsland, where they've built a 300km control line and have been conducting extensive back-burning.
At Harrietville, back-burns have been completed south of the town to offer greater protection, with another to Mount Hotham's northwest to limit the potential spread of the fire.
The Department of Health has warned Harrietville residents to boil their drinking water as sediment pushed into the river has contaminated the town's supply.
The Harrietville fire has burned about 7000 hectares since it started on January 21, while the fire in Gippsland has burned about 75,000 hectares, killed a man and destroyed 21 homes.

Cuomo saved Dean Skelos and permanently messed up the redistricting process to save New York from John Sampson
What's the deeper meaning of Governor Andrew Cuomo's decision to sign gerrymandered legislative lines into law, and lock in place a profoundly compromised redistricting process for the foreseeable future?
The Times, Democrat and Chronicle and Post-Star editorial pages say it cements dysfunction in Albany, and Albany-based Daily News columnist Bill Hammond trashed it as a trade-off by which the governor agreed to facilitate a massive gerrymander in exchange for, well, more awfulness.
Story Continued Below
A "source close to the Cuomo administration" explained to Post state editor Fred Dicker the governor's behavior by saying that he was worried about what would happened if the Senate was taken over by the "borderline corrupt" Democratic leadership of John Sampson. So Cuomo, according to this source, signed bad legislation and endorsed a constitutional amendment that could be in place for generations based not on the merits but rather on what he thinks of individual lawmakers.
In theTimes Union is a front-page analysis from Jimmy Vielkind concluding that Cuomo is now "just another man admitting he'll make the best political deal he can given the circumstances."

The stone secrets of Easter Island
The 900 Moai stones erected on a treeless island give the place its identity - and claim to be one of the new 7 Wonders of the World
"Try to avoid becoming a walking clich? and don't get involved with the islanders".
Those were the wise words of Chilean anthropologist, Patricia Varas who has been visiting the island on and off for the last 30 years. Although I heeded her words, I now understand why the women looked at me a bit shiftily. According to Patricia wedding rings and children are no barrier to their men running off with the tourists. And infidelities are a fact of life.
Age doesn't seem to matter either, Patricia told me it is pretty normal to see OAP's losing their heads and sauntering off into the sunset with a local, 30 years younger than them.
It must be something to do with the culture. Although this tiny…
