People of a certain age sometimes find themselves in need of dental care involving dental crowns instead of a filling, or dental bridges to replace missing teeth. Understandably, in light of the present economy, many patients think first of the expense. But the fact remains that postponed care costs more in the long run, both financially and physically.
In the case of broken teeth, extensive decay or an old filling, a crown is intended to hold the remaining tooth structure together. After a root canal, enamel becomes especially brittle - another candidate for a crown.
A badly damaged tooth, left untreated, causes changes in the mouth that disrupt how the teeth work, chewing patterns, and jaw function. Normal eating habits may be inhibited. Tenderness forces the bite away from one side of the mouth and exerts undue pressure elsewhere. Why not just extract this troublesome tooth?
A missing tooth eventually spells oral disaster, meaning permanent changes to your bite. Because the mouth is dynamic, teeth on either side of an empty space will shift. The teeth next to them move, too. With all this movement, periodontal disease could invade soft tissues. Jaw misalignment, and the pain that goes with it, is likely. So tooth restoration to bolster neighboring teeth and keep the "architecture" of the mouth in good shape is the best course of treatment.
After fillings, crown and bridge work is our first line of defense against oral deterioration. This kind of dentistry brings a lot of satisfaction to both patient and dentist. A transformation happens. With the mouth functioning again, people feel better about themselves.
So call your cosmetic dentist today to find out how you can restore your mouth to total dental health. You'll look and feel better.
Choice is a wonderful thing. It can mean the opportunity to look a dozen years younger than your actual age. Which, in this youth-obsessed culture, gives you extra advantages, whether you're thirty-something or a grandparent.
These choices include your teeth. Not just movie stars, but adults in all walks of life, are opting for cosmetic dental care that restore youthful vitality to their skin and faces. You might be surprised by the role fresh "young" teeth play in creating that overall first impression.
Your cosmetic dentist can bring you up to date on the incredible and youth-restoring dental options, like dental crowns and veneers, that are available to you. Options available at a fraction of the cost of risky and invasive surgery such as, say, a face-lift.
Whichever restorative dentistry procedure you agree to, or decline, is your personal choice. For example, suppose you're missing teeth. Maybe the gap doesn't show, and you've lived with it for awhile. Replacement with dental crowns or dental bridges might be recommended. The consequences of living with missing teeth are important, but the choice to replace that missing tooth and get one step closer to a beautiful smile is yours.
Just the same, it's your mouth and your decision. Whenever you have questions about your care, ask your local dentist and together you can do what's right for you.

Professional image essential for financial planners
Several years of experience in the banking industry have shown Grace Lam that upholding a professional image is essential for financial planners. While this image can be influenced by factors such as the reputation of the practitioner's employer, for the most part it comes down to the individuals and their services.
Ms Lam, financial planning manager, HSBC began her career in a frontline position before an internal transfer saw her working in the bank's mortgage business. She later moved to the Shenzhen office and in 2001 the bank's financial planning division after realising the sector's huge market potential.
Experienced hand
One of the six finalists in the HKIB Outstanding Financial Planner Awards 2007, Ms Lam finds clients nowadays are more financially-conscious and proactive in looking for assistance from financial planners to manage their wealth when compared with those she encountered during her early years in the industry.
As clients have become more knowledgeable, financial planning practitioners and the market in general have also become more sophisticated. Ms Lam says this is reflected in the significance of the sector's code of ethics. "To safeguard the benefits of clients and demonstrate our professionalism, it is very important for financial planners to uphold the code of ethics and reiterate our roles to clients if misunderstandings exist," she notes.
For example, during the recent volatility on the stock market, many clients asked her for recommendations and advice about specific stocks as they aimed for immediate and lucrative returns. However, since she is not a licensed stockbroker, she always turned down their requests and reiterated her role and responsibilities as a financial planner. "Though they initially wanted me to help, eventually my denials won praise from clients and reinforced my professional image," she notes.
A good financial planner should always serve the best interests of the clients by understanding their needs, risk-bearing levels and investment goals. "Misleading clients to buy specific products based on the interests and personal judgments of financial planners is unacceptable," Ms Lam says. With this in mind, she always conducts a thorough review before recommending investment products to any of her clients.
Professional integrity
To demonstrate a high level of integrity, financial planners utilise excellent communication skills. "Communication is fundamental for building up mutual understanding with clients," Ms Lam says. Understanding clients' needs is clearly a necessity but to do it right takes time. "I prefer to spend as much time as I can with my clients to better understand their needs," she adds. "It is the best way to develop a fruitful and long-term relationship."
As well as integrity and professionalism, financial planners require top quality products to best assist clients. Ms Lam says HSBC provides computer software which helps the bank's financial planning professionals to analyse and project clients' financial status effectively. Supervisors also have a key role to play, putting extra effort into testing and reviewing proposed products before they are introduced to clients.
The bank's name and reputation can also have an influence on aspects of financial planning. Ms Lam says a bank's brand can give an added advantage for financial planners as they develop their professional image and client relationships. "HSBC is a household name in financial and banking services so clients always assume we offer better quality services. As such, they are more willing to approach us and reveal their needs. But it also means they have higher expectations of us," she emphasises.
As a seasoned professional, Ms Lam enjoys challenge and this spurred her to join the Outstanding Financial Planner Awards this year. She also wanted to develop her career and widen her exposure in the industry. She tried her best to showcase her professionalism to the judges during the final presentation by demonstrating her good preparation and hard work. "Regardless of the outcome, it was an excellent opportunity and I enjoyed every part of the competition. It was an excellent way to refresh and enhance my professional knowledge," she says.

Capt. Mark Gongol flies B-1B bombers for the Air Force in his day job, and he had to put those skills to use while returning from vacation with his family on a United jet. About a half-hour into the flight from Des Moines to Denver, Gongol figured something was wrong when he noticed the engines idle as the plane made an unscheduled turn, explains Gizmodo. Flight attendants rushed to the cockpit, one with a first-aid kit, as the call went out asking if there was a doctor, then a pilot, aboard. "I looked at my wife and she looked back at me and she said, 'I think you should ring the call button,'" Gongol tellsCNN.
It turns out the United captain had suffered an apparent heart attack, and the first officer was at the controls. They made a quick decision to keep it that way, with Gongol handling the radio communication and backing up the first officer. "She was calm, but you could tell she was a little stressed, who wouldn't be," Gongol recounts to Air Force Space Command. "At the beginning, I interrupted her flow of operations, but we figured everything out extremely quickly. She was very impressive." They made it down safely in Omaha, and Gongol was able to tell the first officer where to taxi because he'd flown at the airport in his own training. Later, he got a thank-you call from the stricken pilot, who is recovering. As for his wife, "she said, 'Good job.'"

Ah, yes, we all think in terms of "telling folks where to go" <g>. And,
sure. That's the old rule we learned back in 7th grade when we had to write
our first "research paper." The purpose of citing sources is to tell folks
where they can go to find for themselves what I've copied, in case they
don't want to take my word for what I've said.
*And* that's why so many genealogists disseminate inaccurate work and get
stuck with problems they can't solve. They think in terms of "making sure I
name my source so it can be found again," rather than making sure they're
using the best sources possible for each conclusion they reach.
Once we start thinking in terms of the *evidence* we get from the source, we
start thinking about how to identify each source fully enough that we
can--now and much later, after our memory of this source has gone
cold--judge the reliability of the information that source provides.

I'm officially announcing my candidacy for President.
(just kidding)
If I were running for President, I wouldn't want to lose. Too costly. Plus I don't really want to be President.
The Announcement
Have you heard the term "social good"? It's something I believe in: using my social media powers for good. I've finally found a way to do that. Here's my big announcement (details after the video).
The Challenge
flipflop wines and Soles4Souls.org have issued a blogger challenge: the Flippin' Good! Deeds Challenge. It's all about collecting shoes. Footwear is a first step in helping people in impoverished areas live healthy, productive lives. Footwear can help eliminate the spreading of diseases through the foot as well as help children obtain an education – as many schools have footwear requirements to attend. I'm going to spend the next month or so collecting as many shoes as I can. I'll be sending them to the Soles4Soles warehouse in hopes of having one of the highest amounts of shoes in donation.
The Contest
It's a contest to see which blogger can collect the most shoes. If I make the top 5, I'll make it to the final round. If I make it to the final round, I have a chance to accompany Soles4Souls on one of their international distribution trips. It's no vacation. It's a trip to a third world country. I'd love to gain that perspective and really help make a difference (and blog about it, of course).
How You Can Help
I need your help in lots of way. Here's what you can do:
1. If you live in North Carolina (or close by), you can help by collecting shoes on my behalf. Whether it's your church or your karate class or your workplace, every shoe counts. When the time comes, I will drive to you and pick up all the shoes! NC bloggers are awesome so I'd love to have an extra special reason to come visit you.
2. If you don't live in North Carolina and you are still willing to help, you can collect too! I can send you boxes for collection and will pay for the shipping to the warehouse. Please let me know if you can help in this way and I will send you want you need!
3.Give me ideas! I'm totally putting myself outside of my comfort zone. I don't like to ask people for anything. I'll donate my own stuff all day long but it's hard for me to ask others. What's the best way to host a shoe drive? How do you think I can make the biggest impact?
I have to have all shoes to the warehouse by November 15th to be counted towards the challenge. Please help me make this happen!
Whether I Win or Lose
If I win, it's a trip for 2 to one of the developing nations that Soles4Souls assists (excluding India and Africa). I would love to take one of you with me so that we can double our impact in the blogosphere. The trip would be sometime between February and December 2012.
If I lose, who cares? This isn't a voting contest or popularity contest. It's a challenge to provide shoes for those in need. Even if I'm not in the top 5, I'm still helping and that's the important part.
My final plea for help? They announce the results on November 30th which just so happens to be my birthday. Wouldn't that be a great present?

I have a Bachelor of Science in a discipline that is notoriously difficult to obtain employment in with ONLY a BS. I knew this going into the program, and I am currently enrolled in a Master's degree program. However, I work in a capacity that is far removed from the work I'd like to be doing. It is monotonous, mind numbingly dull, and totally not a challenge for me. But it pays bills so for that I am thankful.
I'd like this new job because:
1) I'd like a job that challenges me
2) I'd like a job that's in my field and area of interest
3) I'd like the experience I'd gain from obtaining this employment
4) I'd be able to maintain my current retirement plan and be vested within the next year
Thanks in advance for prayers and good thoughts! I really appreciate it!

My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
Thanks to each of you!
Congrats on the interview!
Thank you also Losfer and Jo2!!
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
Rest and sleep well starting tomorrow.
Get there early and Good luck! You are going to do so well!
I am ranked number 4 among my cohorts statewide!!! I am employable with this ranking, so now I just have to be called for an interview and selected!
Thanks again everyone for the mojo.
And mojo for a good interview would be welcome too!
Sending you good interview mojo, although I'm confident you've got this all on your own.
And never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.

Perhaps the most delightful piece of YouTube ephemera from this past season was this lispy and ridiculous narration of a Greg Jennings touchdown catch and run in Madden. Take a moment to relive all the DARREN SHAWPWAWS and F*CK YOU GUMBYS. Because it's not like we didn't reference the video every time Darren Sharper or Jennings did something the last three months of the season.
While the video was hilarious and well-known among blog readers, it wasn't a viral hit to the extent that you could toss out a PUTTING THE TEAM ON MAH FUGGIN BACK, DOH in casual conversation and have your average person know what you're talking about. Oh, why must the IRL world be such a fractured and isolating place?
But then, this past weekend someone asked Jennings if he knew about the clip and the receiver answered joyously in the affirmative. Teammates loved it. Falcons DB Thomas DeCoup even razzed Jennings about the video during the Packers' postseason drubbing of Atlanta. HUZZAH! THE PLAYERS TOTALLY GET OUR SENSE OF HUMOR AND WANT TO HAVE US OVER FOR PIZZA! We don't have to feel so dumb and alone anymore!
Anyway, I suppose the tale of this video has reached its logical conclusion until Gumby stars in a Tosh.0 Internet redemption segment a year and a half from now.

Help setting up Dual Monitors/ Two ATI Video Cards
I need some help with installing two ATI Cards in a machine. The cards are as follows.
ATI Xpert 128 PCI (16MB PCI Card) VGA
ATI AIW 9800 Pro (128MB AGP Card) DVI
Kubuntu Distro, or Fedora Core 4 Distro.
The problem i'm having is, I can get both monitors to turn on. But once I install the ATI Drivers, only one monitor is on. And then I can no longer access the Dual-head GUI Options. Like it's no longer installed or something.
Without the drivers, it recognizes the cards, but they are swaped. It sees the ATI Xpert 128 on my DVI monitor, but it's really the ATI AIW 9800 Pro. In the Display GUI Configuration, I can swap them and it seems to work all right. (This is before the ATI Drivers are installed.)
Since I coudln't go back to reconfiguring all of that, I reformatted and am starting again. I would like your advice on this. Most of the guides I find are for Dual-head (Which is two heads on one card) I have two separate cards.
Any guides or ideas would help me greatly. And if I can successfully do this, I will write my own guide for whoever else is in my boat.
Thanks a lot for any help!

Economic Forecast Luncheon Oct. 20Oct. 17, 2005
The United States economy has rebounded nicely from the recession caused by the terrorist attacks of 9-11-01. Total production of goods and services has grown at a very health 4.1% annual rate since the beginning of 2003.
The Texas economy is also growing despite being hit harder than the national economy by 9-11-01 fallout. Total employment in Texas fell for three consecutive years in 2001-2003, but it has grown at a 1.5% annual rate since December 2003.
As the US and Texas have gone, so has gone Waco. The Waco economy lost 500 jobs between 2000 and 2003. It added 1,600 jobs in 2004, however, and those increases appear to be holding steady this year.
Despite this good economic news, the outlook for the US, Texas, and Waco economies in 2006 is uncertain. Crude-oil prices have risen to all-time highs and so no signs of returning to moderate levels anytime soon. Will the higher energy prices slow down the national economy or perhaps even create a recession? What will be their impact on Texas and Waco?
The Texas legislature has adjourned from its most recent special session having failed in attempts to restructure the state's tax code. How is the state's tax structure likely to change in coming months and years, and how will that affect the Texas and Waco economies?
Finally, how do all of these questions relate to the proper investment strategies for individuals to pursue as they save for retirement or other purposes?
These questions and more will be addressed at the 2006 Annual Economic Forecast Luncheon co-sponsored by the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce and the Baylor University Hankamer School of Business. The Conference will feature leading experts on investment markets and the US and Central Texas economies.
Speakers will include Ray Perryman, Tom Kelly and Steve Drake, host of the Money Matters talk radio show in Houston.

I am not sure here. Isn't the output dependant on the input, because it depends on which filenames I enter? If I enter an erroneous input filename, the readFile should never be executed correctly. The same for the output filename. (I'll copy the code again for reference). module Main where main = do putStr "naam invoerbestand?" inf <- getLine txt <- readFile inf putStr "naam uitvoerbestand?" outf <- getLine writeFile outf txt Anyway, in my text on Haskell it says that IO creates a sort of imperative sublanguage within Haskell without compromising the rest of the modules. It uses a monad to do that. Now, I only just started learning, so I might well be wrong, but isn't the point about IO that statements *are* sequence dependent and there *are* side-effects? F.i. the effects of "x <- getChar; y <- getChar" may be different from "y <- getChar; x <- getChar", because there are side effects. So, sequence should be important. Well, as I said, I'm just starting...... Guus. -- A.J. Bonnema, Leiden The Netherlands, user #328198 (Linux Counter http://counter.li.org)

African elephants are the species of elephants in the genus Loxodonta (Greek for 'oblique-sided tooth'[3]), one of the two existing genera in Elephantidae. Although it is commonly believed that the genus was named by Georges Cuvier in 1825, Cuvier spelled it Loxodonte. An anonymous author romanized the spelling to Loxodonta and the ICZN recognizes this as the proper authority.

I don't think I've ever heard you BE snide, much less come across that way. :kiss: Jacob and Trevor have gotten pretty used to our exercising, and often they join in. You should see the family yoga sessions. :laugh5: Otherwise, they will read books or play in the back yard. Some nights are harder than others, with every water break spent making dinner or changing a diaper or consoling a crying child. But for the most part we make it work.

Dear Mobb Deep, Hug It Out, Don't Thug It Out
Havoc's new video is a thinly-veiled diss aimed at his Mobb Deep partner Prodigy. Sacha Jenkins wants them to squash their infamous beef.
Havoc and Prodigy. The Infamous Mobb Deep. One of my favorite groups of all time. That Infamous album is spine tingling. Queensbridge housing projects. The place where stars are born. A place where crack sales used to be big business, where cheeba rode the ether like a pro surfer, and yellow tre-bags littered the pissy back staircases.
The first time I met Havoc, he was a graffiti writer who called himself "Nal." This was in the late 1980s. He was tight with my boy Ron, who wrote DMC (as in "Ron DMC." LOL). Ron was from QB as well; we went to high school together—Bryant, in Woodside, Queens—and Nal was his little man. Havoc wound up hustling with another cat we wrote with, another QB resident who wrote "Creo." The first time I met Nal we went to paint trains at the 36th Avenue layup—or for the non-initiated, the middle track where they parked the trains on the elevated N (formerly RR) line.
Havoc has always been creative. He was that deadly mix between the realities of Queens Bridge and the complexities of a gifted artist. I'd run into Havoc years later when he started the group Mobb Deep with Prodigy, who was from Hempstead, Long Island. They'd met at the High School of Art & Design. Two artistically-inclined black youths who were looking for a way to channel and hone their creativity.
Mobb Deep says that they're on hiatus now. And Havoc has said some greasy things about Prodigy lately. Havoc's new song is called "Separated (Real From Fake)"; feels to me like Hav is talkin' greasy about Prodigy and that saddens me.
"You used to spit bars, now you just chirp like a lovebird/ and most of your album is for the lovebirds/ Son you wildin'/ I'll keep it a thousand/ you tryin' on blouses… " Havoc barks on the track. I mean, who is he talkin' about if he's not talkin' about Prodigy? It can't be Big Noyd or Tragedy Khadafi or Capone or MC Shan or MC Lyte. (Lyte probably wears blouses.)
Havoc and Prodigy: should the Nation of Islam get involved here? We need you fellows back together, making "heavy metal for the black people." Can that happen? Can we all get along… ? Please?

Just last week, Showtime gave us a fairly comprehensive list of guest stars set to appear in the highly anticipated third season of Homeland. Among the talent set to play a role in the suspenseful series is writer and actor Tracy Letts, whose character will be among those asking the big questions in the wake of the latest terrorist attack on the series. It sounds like we should expect to see a bit more of his character than originally planned, as he's just been promoted to series regular for Season 3.
We knew previously that Letts was set to play Senator Andrew Lockhart, the powerful, authoritative and commanding Committee Chairman who's among the characters involved in the government's investigation of the terror attack at the end of Season 2. Deadline now reports that Letts - who won a Pulitzer Prize for penning August: Osage County, and also penned the screenplay for the feature adaptation - has been bumped up from recurring role to regular on Homeland. He's the first new series regular to join the cast for the upcoming third season. Returners F. Murray Abraham and Sarita Choudhury were also previously promoted from recurring to regulars in the drama.
Homeland isn't set to return until September 29, so it's a bit too soon to start getting excited about the series and whatever action and suspense the third season has to offer. But it is great to hear updates on the cast, particularly when it means a talent like Letts is getting more screen time. In addition to his notable writing career, Letts' on-screen roles include appearances in Prison Break, The District and Strong Medicine. But it looks like he's been more focused on writing in recent years, to much success. If he's looking to return to acting, Homeland really isn't a bad place to (re)start.

2m boost for iwi, Maori and Pacific services
31 May 2002 Media Statement
$2m boost for iwi, Maori and Pacific services for children
Organisations providing social services to at-risk Maori and Pacific children, young people and families are receiving a funding boost of almost $2 million, Social Services and Employment Minister Steve Maharey and Associate Social Services and Employment (Social Services) Minister Tariana Turia announced today.
The announcement covers the final allocation of funds in 2001-2002 for:
- Maori Youth Contestable Fund - $675,000;
- Iwi and Maori Provider and Workforce Development - $948,000; and
- Pacific People's Provider Development Fund - $326,000
which were established in the 2001 Budget to support 'for community, by community' programmes which strengthen whanau and families.
Steve Maharey said the money will help iwi, Maori and Pacific peoples to more effectively deliver social services to their communities.
"The ongoing development of community sector social service providers is something the government is strongly committed too. Research shows that community organisations need better resourcing if they are to effectively meet the needs of children, whanau and families - this includes assistance with training, infrastructure and set-up funding.
"We want to work in partnership with the community sector when it comes to helping families in need. These community-based organisations deliver essential services, including family violence counselling and home parenting skills," Steve Maharey said.
Tariana Turia said "Every difficult situation must be viewed as an opportunity for change. I believe iwi and Maori community organisations will relish the challenge. This funding will greatly assist in ensuring the challenge will be met and the people will receive a "gold star' service."
"It is important for tangatawhenua service providers to undertake training on the "strengths perspective' to the provision of services to whanau. It is also important to take the opportunity to demonstrate that, despite the difficulties of some whanau, they have within them innate abilities to care and nurture.
"The advanced skill in this work is to tap whanau potential, nurture it and allow it to flourish. The "strengths approach' to this work is about tapping the rich resource, which whakapapa links give. These links must be maintained, " Mrs Turia added.
1. Maori Youth Contestable Fund.
This fund helps provide programmes for youth who are committing serious and frequent offences, and who are at risk of being placed outside their families or in a Child, Youth and Family residence. The $675,000 will purchase additional workforce training for iwi and Maori organisations providing services to such youth. Of this, $240,000 will be paid to training organisations. 66 service providers around the country will receive a total of $435,000, or just under $6,600 each, to help pay for social workers' course enrolment fees and other training.
2. Iwi and Maori Provider and Workforce Development.
Iwi and Maori organisations providing social services to at-risk children, young people and families will get $948,794 to help them further develop and improve services. The money is the final round of allocations involving a total of just under $3 million set aside in the current financial year for provider development and workforce capacity building. $468,794 will go directly to service providers. Another $300,000 is for five organisations providing supervision and advisory services to iwi and Maori providers, $100,000 will be spent evaluating capacity and capability building strategies and $80,000 will help establish a national Iwi and Maori Provider Association.
3. Pacific People's Provider Development Fund.
$326,000 is being allocated to assist providers of social services to Pacific people to develop the way they work. Three Pacific consortiums will receive $58,000 each to implement their business plans. Two are in Auckland (Pacific island Aiga/Kainga Cultural Social Service and Auckland Pacific Island Cultural Social Service Provider Association) and one in Wellington (the Pacific Island Cultural Social Services Trust). Another $143,000 will fund 17 individual organisations around the country and $9170 will fund the establishment of a mentoring programme.

Women Take to Streets to Protest Domestic Violence
'We must erase the concept of honor killing,' Livni tells rally marking day against abuse of women
Dozens of people marched through Tel Aviv and Nazareth yesterday to mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The Tel Aviv protesters carried 15 caskets representing murdered women from the Women's International Zionist Organization headquarters to the plaza in front of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art where a rally was held, holding signs that read slogans such as "We'll put an end to violence."
The caskets represented the 18 women who have been murdered by their partners in 2010. The organizer of the event said that there were only 15 caskets representing the women because "they couldn't keep up" due to the recent wave of murders in the last few weeks.
"This is a horrifying statistic and I hope that next year we will decrease the number of caskets," said Nurit Kaufman. "This is a horrifying social trend and unfortunately we know that women will continue to be murdered."
Kadima head Tzipi Livni spoke at the rally and said that "this day needs to be a day in which Israeli society will understand that there are words that we cannot use. We must erase the concepts of honor killing and murder on romantic grounds. There is no romance in death and there is no honor in murder."
Welfare Minister Isaac Herzog also spoke and urged that the discourse surrounding violence against women be turned away from pornography and veered toward the serious problems in Israeli society such as sexual harassment in the workplace, silencing of women in the home and murder cases.
Dozens of Arab women and activists in women's organizations along with relatives of victims of violence in the Arab community took part yesterday in a rally at Nazareth's Spring Square to mark the day. Participants, including Hadash MKs Afu Aghbaria and Mohammed Barakeh carried torches and placards condemning violence against women, particularly in the Arab community. Aida Touma-Sliman, director of Women Against Violence, the association that organized the rally, said women should no longer keep silent. She also called on the authorities to upgrade deterance.

But then I met some awesome people from work and they all lived in
It is because of my love of
On Saturday I flew home from
My brain took a second to process the words but I looked down in time to see the man hastily putting away his phone while shaking his head and making that noise people make when they've been caught doing something they shouldn't be doing. I don't even know what I was thinking. My brain told me to get out of there and that something very appalling had just happened but I hadn't really processed it. I bent down, picked up my things, and followed my superhero to another section of the terminal feeling like everyone knew what had happened and had seen whatever picture he managed to get. I thanked him for letting me know and shook his hand, not knowing at all what to say. And then my bus came and I had to run to catch it and I was shaking so badly that I barely got my Charlie ticket into the slot.
I sat on the bus, watching the woman across from me shield her daughter's head from the harsh glare of the sun, holding it close to her chest with her hand over her eyes. I wanted so, so badly to be that little girl and to have someone hold their hand over me. I called my mother and told her what had happened. Her reaction was, "I would have made such a scene! You should have yelled out what happened so that everyone would hear. You should have slapped him! Oh my God, you should have told the police. Don't they have police there? You should have taken the guy that stopped him out to dinner to thank him!"
… Did I do something wrong? An hour after it happened I knew of about a million things I should have done, should have said, should have screamed. I had a fantastic vision of me ripping the phone out of his had and smashing it on the ground while screaming PERVERT! at him at the top of my lungs. I had another picture where I played a kind of dignified victim, asking him quietly for his phone so that I could delete the picture. I could have bought the superhero a drink. Fuck… if I could write down all the things I thought of afterward, am still thinking about now, this post would be so ridiculously long. As it is now, I'm writing this because I couldn't sleep for thinking of all the things I should have done. I couldn't sleep because I didn't do them. I couldn't sleep because one person can walk away slightly ashamed but generally unscathed and the other one walks away feeling dirty and vulnerable, bare and stupid.
The whole train ride home the ugliness was everywhere. There was a mentally retarded man on the train with nobody to sit with him and nobody's eyes could bear to look at him for more than the second it took to dismiss him. There was graffiti everywhere, nobody offered me a seat even though I had three bags to hold on to, and a woman stared unabashedly at me until she got off a stop before me. I swear she could see everything that I was thinking and I hated her for it.
Everyone knows somebody that something like this has happened to. Every story is more disturbing than the last. But it's never you. It never happens to you. If it does, you become the person who someone knows that it happened to but it will never carry the same weight for someone else. You can warn them, but it will never be them in their head.
I'm going to make a generalization I don't often make, but I've become biased: The world can be ugly to women in much deeper ways than it can to men. A man can be victimized, can be attacked, can be made to feel like shit, but not often like this. I feel like I've done something wrong and I know I haven't. I feel like someone has seen something I don't want them to see and now everyone can see it just by looking at me.
A smarter person might realize that the city was always like this. I guess I thought that I was savvy, that I could take its sting in stride. I was wrong.

Hello, Thank you for the warm welcome.
Has anyone made the road to Florida quilt? I, found a picture and pattern in an old quilting magazine and I am thinking I will just a take a deep breath and give it a try. I have only made one quilt which was the dresden pattern and have made quilt blocks for pillows, but I am just a little nervous ( no really nervous about my skills). Please share with me your ideas.

When playing a classical or other oft-performed role, to what degree do actors find themselves influenced—intentionally or unintentionally—by the performances of others in the same part? And is the reverse true? After playing a character, do actors sometimes watch another actor do something insightful in the same role and mutter a Homer Simpsonish "D'oh!" or maybe think, "I did that better"?
Nothing New Under the Sun?
Of course, no two actors are exactly alike. Kimberly King, of the new Seattle-area West Sound Repertory Theatre, tells her anxious students, "There's no Hamlet like your Hamlet; none came before you and none will come after you." And each performance is affected by context: director, other actors, environment, etc. Besides, some would say there is nothing new under the sun.
New York actor Kathleen Chalfant once played the title role in Shaw's "Major Barbara" and found herself struggling to understand Barbara's motivation for changing direction in the middle of the play. The British film version was on TV, and Chalfant saw that Wendy Hiller embraced Barbara's paradoxical moment of transformation with a certain confidence. "I'm not sure she knew why [Barbara changed] either," says Chalfant, "but it was helpful to know that you can do the Jimmy Cagney thing—plant your feet, look the other guy in the eye, and carry on."
Another New York actor, Betsy Aidem, was also struck by watching a particular transition. After performing the title role in "Miss Julie" in 1990, she saw Lena Olin in Ingmar Bergman's version at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Bergman was apparently an expert at helping actors segue from moment to moment. When Olin's Julie came on stage after having sex with her father's servant Jean, she threw up and writhed on the ground. A moment like that can transform a part, says Aidem: "Bergman woke me up to something about the play…. I'd love to have another crack at it." But unlike some of her colleagues, Aidem doesn't go to Lincoln Center to watch recordings of past productions of plays she's been cast in. "I don't like to have other people's performances in my mind," she explains.
Every director guides you toward a different approach. For example, Chalfant has played Agnes in Edward Albee's "A Delicate Balance" twice, at Arena Stage and at Yale Rep. The first time, she felt haunted by the Lincoln Center production she'd seen, in which Rosemary Harris played Agnes. "I couldn't get it out of my head," Chalfant says. "I thought she was so good." But the second time she played the role, the play was directed by James Bundy, whose approach was completely different from those of the other productions. He had "a kind of rambunctious idea about it," recalls Chalfant, and that swept away the ghost of the esteemed Ms. Harris.
Aidem, who says she's not by nature an imitative actor, occasionally glimpses an acting choice so brilliant as to warrant treasuring it for possible future use. Such was the case when she saw Raul Julia's Othello: In an unforgettable moment, he used a physical gesture to represent his disgust. "I thought, 'That's so fantastic, that's useful,'" Aidem says. "I always think of that, but you think of your own way of doing it, feeling it through your own being. I remember it with great fondness but haven't found a place for it."
A Time-Honored Tradition
Lest you look askance at the idea of "copying" someone else's choices, consider this: Some theatrical art forms require carrying precise gestures down from generation to generation (think Kabuki, commedia, opera, ballet). And some comedians are famous for stealing other comics' jokes and routines. When I asked clown and solo performer Geoff Hoyle if he thinks anyone has co-opted his signature three-legged-man routine, he said, "Probably." As a comic performer, he's philosophical about it. He himself got the idea from a book.
In any case, for some it's foolish to ignore the experience and knowledge of others. Preparing to play King Lear at California Shakespeare Festival (now Theatre) in 1991, longtime actor Julian López-Morillas found a series of books by the late drama scholar Marvin Rosenberg (such as "Masks of Othello: The Search for the Identity of Othello, Iago, and Desdemona by Three Centuries of Actors and Critics"). Rosenberg exhaustively examines how various Shakespearean characters have been performed through history, going back to Garrick in the 18th century, by looking at the writings of critics who saw the performances, listening to 20th-century recordings, etc. "It was hugely informative and at times influential," says López-Morillas, who, for his modern-dress Lear, "stole" the idea of having the king's pants down around his ankles in one scene.
Because he'd seen Peter Brook's film of the play, López-Morillas' Lear was strongly influenced—in general conception, not in moment-by-moment choices—by Paul Scofield's tough, rigid king rather than by Olivier's more senile version. "I'm not defensive about picking up ideas," López-Morillas says. "I don't have a fetish about originality. If I were about to do, say, Shylock again, I might well watch the Al Pacino film once. Probably not more, for fear of being overly influenced. Obviously, I'm not the same actor as Pacino. If there's a choice I like, I try to justify it for myself and look for ways to adapt it to my purpose. I don't make a religion out of keeping myself pure in order to not be influenced. I doubt that anyone watching the performance would be able to detect places where I'd been influenced."
He expects to reprise Lear someday and knows that when he does, he'll re-watch Ian McKellen's impressive turn and borrow from it. "I don't think actors should be too afraid of getting ideas" from others, López-Morillas says. "No two actors are alike. I'm assuming actors have enough knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses not to steal indiscriminately."
King says she's been influenced by certain actors' bodies of work but doesn't usually find herself copying them or lifting particular choices they made. It's their depth of knowledge and experience that tends to register. And comic genius Danny Scheie declares, "Originality is maybe the biggest buzz—coming up with stuff out of me that nobody's ever seen anyone do exactly this way before." He recently appeared as Valere in "La Bête" at Asolo Rep in Florida, a role that Mark Rylance was playing at the same time on Broadway, and he's glad he didn't see the Broadway version. The playwright, David Hirson, told Scheie that his Valere was the opposite of Rylance's.
It's tempting to see another in the role, Scheie admits, especially in comedy: You don't want to miss a trick. "But it's so much more rewarding to find it on your own," he says. More useful is to watch others in comic roles for the purpose of avoiding their pitfalls.
Scheie's specialty is what he calls a "postmodern re-collage approach" to acting—illuminating classical roles by reaching into a grab bag of pop-culture performances—"a little Eve Arden here, a tiny bit of Mary Tyler Moore there," a discovery that a particular moment in a Shakespeare play is exactly like a moment in "I Love Lucy" or "The Sound of Music." "If I didn't have the wealth of all the performances in movies and TV and theater and cartoons since I was born, if I didn't have those influences," he says, "my acting would be really different, and I don't think it would be as good."
In general, Scheie concludes, "I think a real artist wants to do it on their own. The other things are training wheels, crutches I can use to back me up. It's more fun to go out there without that. But scarier."

USB Loader GX v3.0 supports the new features of the latest d2x cIOS as well as Rodries MOD of the Hermes cIOS.
This guide is meant to instruct those who wish to update their current version of GX v1.x to GX v3.0, or those who have had issues since updating to GX v3.0. If you have never installed USB Loader GX before, you can still follow these instructions by simply ignoring the parts involving deleting GX configuration files.
GX v3.0 and its forwarder channel require IOS58 and HBC 1.0.7+ in order to properly run. If you have a lower version of the HBC and/or it is not running on IOS58, read Part 1, otherwise skip to Part 2.
If you are unsure which version of the HBC and IOS you are running, launch the HBC then press the Home button. It will show your HBC version and IOS in the upper right hand corner.
Part 1 - Installation of Homebrew Channel v1.1.0 running on IOS58
IOS58 Installation
If you are certain that IOS58 is installed you can skip to Homebrew Channel 1.1.0 Installation/Reinstallation
Online Installation
- Download the IOS58 Installer from HERE
- Extract the download directly to the root of your SD card. After extraction the path should look like this: SD:/apps/ios58-installer/boot.dol
- Launch HBC and run ios58-installer.
- Press the Install button.
- After installation exit homebrew and return to the system menu.
Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 Installation/Reinstallation
Note: If you are already using HBC 1.1.0 but it is running from an IOS other than 58, these instructions will allow you to reinstall it so that it will use the correct IOS.
- Create a folder in the apps directory of your SD card called Update HBC.
- Download the Hackmii installer from HERE and extract it to your desktop.
- Inside the Hackmii folder is a file called boot.elf. Copy this file to the folder you just created on your SD card. The path should look like this: SD:/apps/Update HBC/boot.elf
- Launch HBC and load the Update HBC app. The Hackmii installer will load. Wait a few moments for the 1 to appear, then follow the onscreen prompts to Install the Homebrew Channel. After a successful install, exit back to the HBC.
- Press the Home button and look in the upper right hand corner of the screen. It should now say 1.0.8 IOS58.
Part 2 Installation of USB Loader GX v3.0 and forwarder
- Delete the contents of the SD:/config folder (If you have such a folder. This folder contains the configuration files for an older version of GX which are not compatible with the newer version).
- Delete the sd/apps/usbloader_gx/gxglobal.cfg file. (If you have such a file. This file contains the configuration files for an older version of GX which are not compatible with the newer version).
- Download UsbLoader GX v3.0 All In One Package from HERE and extract the files directly to your SD card. When prompted, overwrite all existing files.

ADI broadens software tools line for DSPs
Post a comment
Norwood, Mass. -- Analog Devices, Inc. is beefing -up its line of software tools for its DSPs with the launching monday Dec. 22 of USB-based emulators and the VisualDSP++ integrated development and debugging environment (IDDE) release 3.5.
The USB-based emulators enhance debugging of Blackfin processor-based embedded targets, according to ADI. The new version of VisualDSP++ development tools improve ease-of-use, visualization, speed and efficiency of the programming environment.
The USB-based emulators are intuitive portable, non-intrusive, target-based debugging solutions. VisualDSP++ release 3.5 offers Profile Guided Optimization and Memory Profiler features. These features bring more robust visualization capabilities to the designer, enabling faster and more efficient software development. The tightly integrated USB-based emulators and VisualDSP++ offer programmers seamless and rapid transition from development in a simulation environment to target hardware debugging.
VisualDSP++ release 3.5 and the USB-based Emulators are available for the Blackfin Processor family and for the ADSP-218x/219x/2199x DSP family, and will be available in January 2004 for the SHARC and TigerSHARC Processor families. Pricing for the USB and High-Performance USB emulators are $1,200 and $4,000 respectively, while pricing for the full suite of software tools starts at $3,500.
The two Universal Serial Bus (USB)-based emulators are said to provide simple, high-speed emulation, allowing users to perform standard debugging functions such as read and write memory, read and write registers, load and execute executables, set and clear breakpoints, and single-step assembly, C and C++ source code.
The emulators are offered in standard and high-performance versions, with full speed USB 1.0 connection and high-speed USB 2.0 (backward-compatible with full-speed USB 1.0) connection, respectively. With the ability to automatically detect and support multiple I/O voltages, the emulators enable users to communicate with all of Analog Devices' JTAG processors and embedded processors, including the Blackfin Processor for embedded media devices, using a full-speed or high-speed USB port on the host PC.
VisualDSP++ release 3.5 introduces several new features. Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), for example, enables large gains to be realized in the run-time performance and code density of a program automatically, without any additional effort by the user. PGO takes advantage of the innate compiled simulation technology in VisualDSP++ and uses an automatic, iterative compilation approach.
The memory profiler feature allows programmers to visually profile all code in memory, enabling them to understand which parts of their application are most frequently accessed. This allows developers to more easily optimize their code for performance and memory access.
Also, there is integrated source code control which eases the development process for large design teams. A Source Code Control (SCC) plug-in enables users to easily connect to SCC applications that are on their machines through the Microsoft Common Source Code Control (MCSCC) interface that is widely supported by leading SCC vendors.
Other new features include: Automation Aware Scripting Engine that supports any scripting language based on Microsoft's API; Secure Install that allows VisualDSP++ release 3.5 to be installed while protecting and maintaining existing older versions on the system; Enhanced Background Telemetry Channel (BTC) Support that now includes sophisticated visualization windows; and Multi-Project Support that allows developers to view, link and update multiple projects simultaneously.
ADI is offering a discount through June 30, 2004 on the new High-Performance USB emulator, part number ADDS-HPUSB-ICE, when a customer trades-in a Summit-ICE PCI-based emulator (ADDS-SUMMIT-ICE) or Apex-ICE USB-based emulator (ADDS-APEX-ICE). Customers who have purchased one of these ADI emulators within the last year (Dec 2002 - Nov 2003), and who wish to upgrade to the new HP USB emulator, will receive a trade-in value of $2,500 against the purchase of the new emulator.

Three replacement phones for repairs etc
I got a replacement phone from Three recently while mine was in for repair... the phone still had all the details of the last user on it. The guy in the store just laughed and said, "oh read them if you want, but just delete them." I did mention something about data protection at him.. I'll be having several words with them when I go to collect mine for sure (although I will be careful to delete all my data before giving this one back!).

The present invention concerns a dispenser for roll shaped bodies, such as rolls of toilet paper, paper towels and the like, i.e. commodities which are held on a holder and are exposed for a consumer to tear off a length of material.
The conventional manner of holding the said commodities at the disposal of a consumer is by holding them on a turnable axle which--in turn--is removably held in horizontal position at both its ends. The paper or other material is wound on a hollow reel, conventionally an expendable cardboard reel, and whenever the paper--or other material--on the reel has been consumed, the reel has to be removed from the said axle and a fresh roll has to be placed on the axle.
It is the object of this invention to provide a dispenser in which a number of rolls can be kept at readiness to be transferred from a storage magazine into a position of availability to the consumer.
Accordingly, there is provided a dispenser which comprises a magazine in which a stack of rolls is positionable with the axes of the rolls normal to the vertical extension of the stack, a dispensing and holding mechanism being positioned below the said stack, such mechanism comprising two arms radially extending relative to a cylindrical body the two opposite circular ends of which form a number of cam paths, the said arms being hingedly, angularly movable towards and away from one another, and having oppositely directed studs at their free ends, adapted to enter a hollow reel of a roll, the arms extending across the said cam paths and being urged towards one another by a tension spring affixed to both arms, means being provided to impart rotative movement to the said cylindrical body.
The above and further features of the invention will now be described with reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the new dispenser.
FIG. 2, being an elevational, lateral view, with a side wall removed.
FIG. 3 is a view showing the lowermost roll in the stack being about to be engaged by the holding arms.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the dispenser in operative position, holding a roll accessible to a consumer.
FIG. 5 shows--in a like view--the dispenser having engaged the lowermost roll in the stack, at the instant prior to its being transferred into position of use, i.e. being accessible to the consumers.
FIGS. 6 and 7 are detail views which show constructional details.
The new dispensing device comprises a housing, generally indicated by the numeral 1 and consisting of two compartments: compartment 1a which is a magazine in which a stack 2 of cylindrical bodies, say rolls of toilet paper are stored, and compartment 1b in which a mechanism is enclosed by means of which the bodies 2 are transferred from storage in compartment 1a to the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, i.e. being held--at 3--in readiness for use by a consumer.
Turning now to FIG. 3: The stack 2 of paper rolls comprises the lowermost roll 3 which rests on a shelf 4. As usual the paper is wound on a hollow reel 5 into which can enter studs 6 extending from two arms 7 which are hingedly connected at 8 to an axle 9 on which a cylindrical body 10 turns freely. The two circular end faces of body 10 are formed to act as cam paths, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 (the latter being a development into a plane, of the cylinder).
As can be seen, there are four cam paths, I, II, III, IV each of which terminates at a shoulder Ia, IIa, IIIa, IVa. These shoulders (see FIG. 6) extend in the axial direction of cylinder 10.
The two arms 7 can swing apart and outwardly about the hinges 8, against the bias of a tension spring 11 which is connected to both arms 7.
The axle 9 can be rotated by means of a handle 12 (FIGS. 1 and 5) keyed on that axle and being positioned at the outside of compartment 1b.
To the rear wall of compartment 1b is riveted an angular member 13 the forewardly extending free end of which forms a springy detent cooperating with any one of shoulders Ia-IVa, as will become clear later.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, a springy finger 14 affixed to the inside of the forward wall of compartment 1b bears down or the roll 3 which--at the FIG. 2--is in position of availability to a consumer, The purpose of finger 14 will become clear later.
The new dispenser is operated as follows: Starting from the position of FIG. 3 the handle 12 is swung clockwise. In the position of FIG. 3 the two arms are about to reach their extreme angular position from one another and the spring 11 is almost fully expanded. With a short further clockwise turn of handle 12 the two arms--riding on a cam path (in FIG. 3--cam path I) arrive at shoulder 1a and under tension of spring 11 snap towards one another and stop firmly lying against the shoulder I. As a result the studs 6 enter the cavity of roll 5.
Now the handle 12 can be turned anticlockwise (and revolving cylinder 10 which engages shoulder Ia) thereby removing the roll 3 from shelf 4 and holding it in the position shown in FIG. 4, i.e. being accessible to a consumer.
In the position of FIG. 4 the spring 11 has contracted, the arms 7 rest on shoulder Ia.
If now the handle 12 is again swung clockwise (assuming that the whole of roll 3 has been spent and only the reel 5 remains in position), the arm 7 get out of contact with shoulder Ia riding on path IV will move apart, dropping the reel and will snap close at shoulder IVa assuming the position of FIG. 5. Now by anticlockwise movement of handle 12 the lowermost roll in the stack is brought into position of readiness, i.e. as shown in FIG. 4.
The angular member 13 serves to stop rotation of body 10 during the clockwise rotation, by abutting against one of the shoulder Ia-IVa whichever might be nearest to the angular member. Accordingly, rotation of body 10 proceeds in one direction only.
The springy finger 14 prevents a raising of arms 7 as long as there is paper on the roll, i.e. it makes it impossible to raise the roll and drop it out of the compartment 1b. Only the empty reel permits passage at the upward movement of arms 7. In this way theft of a roll of paper can be prevented in those cases where the dispenser is put up at places which are accessible to the public.
