Woodbridge (Va.) Forest Park athlete Brandon Scott has landed his first offer. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder has also found a new position moving from wide receiver to defensive end.
"I sent out film last week and Duke, Connecticut, Boston College, Ohio and Elon got it," he said. "Elon liked it and offered me on Friday.
"I'm hoping to hear back from Boston College and Connecticut soon."
Article Continues Below
Scott has also been in touch with Richmond, Vanderbilt and Northwestern.
Does he favor anybody?
"I'll probably not wait until the end of the season," he said. "I have such a great relationship with Elon if a lot of other schools don't come in I'll go there. I love it there.
"When I started the recruiting process I didn't think like I should have. I wanted a big-time football program. I wasn't thinking as much about academics, now I am and I want a great academic school. That's what I want first and foremost."
What is he looking for in a college?
"I'm in between things, I want to do advertising or marketing, something in the entertainment field," he stated. "I want a degree in communications. I also really want to feel at home. I want somewhere where everybody is close knit. The first thing I'll ask every school is what is the graduation rate. I also would rather stay out of Virginia. I've been here for a long time and want to get away a bit, North Carolina or Boston College would be far enough."
After starting to pick up defensive end last year, Scott has made a full transition this fall.
"I do still play receiver and tight end and have about 15 catches for 150-yards," he said. "I have about 20 solo tackles and five sacks on defense.
"I was inexperienced on defense last year. This year I've done great. Schools tell me they love my film and like how I play with my hands. They think I'm a good rusher."

Love it!
That is quite a shiny car!
love these.. Insane cars.. beautiful photo
this is literally mesmerizing.
Hey Zev, thanks a lot, a pleasure to be featured between such beautiful images!
amazing Car, Location and LIght
Oh yeah I could dig driving this car!!!!
NFS Most Wanted lol
WOW!! that is one gorgeous car...
Excellent shot, but I must be out of the loop for what is new in cars. What model is that? I've never seen it before.
Pretty impressive photo! ^-^b
Cool car!
It looks properly mad. Where do the machine guns come out?
Wow where did you take this? I mean where did you get access to such a car?
Had the chance to shoot again for Marussia for their 2013 calendar, it was shot in Monaco.
great job!
Got the design from a comic book or did u render it from a comic scan? That looks SICK btw!
from a comic... -so.. This car is not a real ?
no it's a real car.
I believe it is the sane car as on the site.
No haha I don't own any sports cars . And this isn't my art.
No haha I don't own any sports cars . And this isn't my art.
It's not your art? You DID take the photograph didn't you? o.O
No..this is ZondaC12's image. I was just replying to someone's comment. I never claimed this image.
-but perhaps you would like to have such car? hehe ^^
Somehow I am afraid that Marussia will have same fate as everything modern in Russia: Advertisement everywhere (including Need For Speed now), big opening show, world car experts saying good words about it, buying orders from California and Arabian countries and... flick... never heard about again.
Indeed, it's hard to imagine their future. They are really putting work on marketing for the last 2 years, and from what I've heard, it is paying as they have many order and plans to export the car in many countries...
Wait and see
Wait and see
it's so beautiful... O.o
Now that's one sweet looking ride.

What will happen this Week?

What WILL happen this week
(written by my health coach)
One of 3 things WILL happen this week:
#1 You will lose weight. You will make a plan, stick to the program, feel amazing & be a healthier person. You will take all of these opportunities to get stronger. You will say "no" to anything not on your plan & "yes" to slimmer waist line. You will say "no" to sugars and "yes" to burning fat off your midsection. You will say "no" to anything not on plan & yes to that wonderful energy that comes with being in balance without hunger & cravings. Your focus will be on people, family, & friends.
#2 You will stay the same weight. You will be mostly on plan, but DECIDE and CHOOSE what you will have this week. You may use the 1 Tablespoon rule & savor the flavor of your favorite once-a-year dessert. You will feel powerful that you enjoyed the holidays without feeling deprived, but kept your health a priority. You will impress your friends with your healthy habits. You will DECIDE how much & what & get right back on plan afterward because you know what you want.
#3 You will gain weight. There are 2 ways to get here. 1) Decide on it. You will decide, "I am going to be off plan today & just eat what I want." You will join everyone else & eat what is passed to you. Or 2) You will not decide. You will "see how it goes" "go with the flow" and "find out what happens." Not choosing is a choice. You will not choose & automatically go to the "path of least resistance" and just what your genes are telling you to do: Eat while you can & store fat for the hard times. Either way, you can choose to get right back on plan & in a few days your body will learn how to burn fat again. And you can continue with your journey.
No matter what you CHOOSE. ENJOY this week. With 1, 2 or 3, you could feel bad about it. You could regret it. You could be thinking the whole time that you should be doing something else.
But "can I coach you on that?"....DON'T FEEL BAD. Be happy & enjoy whatever you choose! Have a Great Week! If you lose weight rejoice that you have done an incredible thing & become even stronger. If you stay the same, love that you can take life into your own hands and not be controlled by food. Love that you can enjoy & be the captain of your own life. If you gain, enjoy the week anyway. Savor every bite of anything you want. Embrace your decision and enjoy the journey. Think of how far you have come & all the good choices you have made.
Whatever you choose, know that you are loved & that you have a Health Coach that will meet you wherever you are and take you to wherever you want to go.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This cosplay started off as a costume that Hanamaru created years ago. We both love Chrono Trigger so we decided to revamp her Crono and Lucca costumes and wear them together.
The Crono wig that Hanamaru had made had been through a lot over the years so I ripped a lot of it apart, worked on the shape of the spikes, and added more hair. It's a work in progress, I keep fixing it a little more every time I wear it.
I seam ripped the green and blue tops and re-sewed them to fit me. I didn't have to change the pants and leg warmers at all.
I made a completely new headband, scarf, belt, pair of arm guards, and shoe covers. I reused the sword from my Miho costume. Even though I'm not the best boy, I absolutely loved wearing Crono. :D

What are scalar and columnar objects?
What do the built-in tests that come with SilverCreek cover?
How do I limit testing only to my enterprise MIBs?
My private MIBs do not appear in the test suite tree, why not?
Does SilverCreek Cover CERT Advisory CA-2002-03 and US-CERT alert TA08-162A?
What if read-write objects are implemented as read-only?
Why is lexicographical ordering important?
What is non-minimal basic encoding?
Q What are scalar and columnar objects?
A In SNMP, there are two types of objects: scalar and columnar.
"Scalar" objects are objects that are not in a table such as sysDescr, sysName, etc. They must have instance ID .0 in get/set requests and responses.
"Columnar" objects are objects that are defined in a table such as ifType, ifDescr, etc. They must have meaningful instance IDs (defined by index part of
the table) in get/set requests and responses. A tool may add .0
for scalar objects but it wouldn't know what instance IDs to "add" for
columnar objects when issuing GETs.
SilverCreek relies on the end user to add .0 or other more complicated instance IDs when issuing get/set request. As a protocol test tool, this approach is
considered better to the general users of SC as they must understand what they are doing when testing SNMP using SC. As an example, if you want
to send SNMP get/set requests in command line you must know this concept.
Q What are covered in the built-in tests that come with SilverCreek?
A For comprehensive test coverage information please see doc/sc-testlist.pdf in your SilverCreek installation directory.
SilverCreek Mx are bundled with over 1000 test scripts that can generate hundreds of thousands of test cases. In other words the total number of tests cases available in SilverCreek is not a constant number--it grows with the number of MIB implemented in the DUT. These test scripts are divided into test suites primarily according to RFC(s) tested. They are:
1.0 RFC-1157 (SNMPv1 Tests for ALL MIBs Loaded)
2.0 RFC-190X (SNMPv2c Tests for ALL MIBs Loaded)
3.0 RFC-341x (SNMPv3 Tests for ALL MIBs Loaded)
4.0 RFC-3414 (SNMPv3 USM-MIB)
5.0 RFC-3415 (SNMPv3 VACM-MIB)
6.0 RFC-3413 (SNMPv3 SNMP Applications)
15.0 IPv6 IP-MIB Tests(RFC4293)
16.0 IPv6 ipForwad MIB Tests(RFC4292)
17.0 IPv6 TCP-MIB Tests(RFC4022)
18.0 IPv6 UDP-MIB Tests(RFC4113)
10.0 RFC-1213 and its updates RFC2011, 2012, 2013 and 2096 (MIB-II Tests)
20.0 RMON-1 MIB Tests
21.0 RMON-II MIB Tests
50.0 RFC-2786 (Diffie-Hellman Key Change Tests)
Vul1 SNMPv1 Vulnerability Tests (ASN.1 decoding)
Vul2 SNMPv2c Vulnerability Tests (ASN.1 decoding)
Vul3 SNMPv3 Vulnerability Tests (ASN.1 decoding)
All MIBs (including additional standard and private MIBs) loaded in SilverCreek will be tested automatically when running tests in the Protocol category:
SNMPv1 Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 1.0),
SNMPv2c Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 2.0),
SNMPv3 Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 3.0).
If the agent under test has implemented a particular MIB that has been loaded into SC then new test cases will be automatically generated for that MIB when you run these tests.
The total number of test cases that will be generated depends on 1) The number of MIBs loaded into SilverCreek, 2) The number of MIBs the agent under test has implemented. Note that in order to make sure a MIB implementation is going to be tested you must load the MIB into SilverCreek first. This is because SilverCreek needs to know the MIB definition in order to test that MIB implementation.
You can develop additional test suites and make them appear under SilverCreek "Private" test tree node on SilverCreek GUI. Often customers may need to create additional functional tests. For that you can use SilverCreek API (Tcl) to code them. For more information about this see SilverCreek Developer's Guide.
Q How do I limit testing only to my enterprise MIBs?
A By default, any MIBs (including additional standard and private MIBs) loaded in SilverCreek will be tested automatically when running tests in the Protocol category:
SNMPv1 Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 1.0),
SNMPv2c Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 2.0),
SNMPv3 Tests for all MIBs Loaded (test suite 3.0).
If you only want to test your private MIBs when running protocol tests (test suite 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) you can instruct SilverCreek to perform testing on the defined scope by using "Test->Limit Variables to Test in Protocol Test Suites".
Q Why I don't see my private MIBs appear in the test suite tree?
A When you load a new MIB into SC, there isn't going to be a new test suite that appears in the test suite tree on the GUI. The new MIBs will be tested as part of the "SNMPv1 Tests for all MIBs Loaded", "SNMPv2c Tests for all MIBs Loaded" and/or "SNMPv3 Tests for all MIBs Loaded". In other words new test cases will be automatically generated when you run these protocol tests.
You can develop additional test suites and have them to appear under SilverCreek "Private" Test node in the test suite tree. Often customers may need to create additional tests and they can use the SilverCreek API (Tcl) to develop any private tests they want to perform against their agent. Simple test cases can be generated using SilverCreek SNMPTcl script generator.
Of course the new MIB should appear in MIB browser tree after you load it into SilverCreek.
Q Does SilverCreek Cover CERT Advisory CA-2002-03 and US-CERT alert TA08-162A?
A CERT Advisory CA-2002-03: SilverCreek Vulnerability Tests cover CERT Advisory CA-2002-03. CA-2002-03 only targets at SNMPv1, our test suite Vul1 covers that. In addition to the original CA-2002-03, we have expanded SNMP vulnerability tests to SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Test suite Vul2 and test suite Vul3 cover vulnerability testing for SNMPv2c and v3 agents respectively.
These test suites are designed to test your agent's ability to deal with fringe or rogue packets that it may encounter while on a live network. The test suite covers SNMPv1, v2c and v3. It provides clear test description and detailed test results. It can determine how the agent under test will respond to and deal with abnormal, malicious or rogue packets.
US-CERT alert TA08-162A: Authentication for SNMPv3 is done using keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC), which is calculated using a cryptographic hash function in combination with a secret key. Implementations of SNMPv3 may allow a shortened HMAC code in the authenticator field to authenticate to an agent using a minimum HMAC of one byte. Test4.26.x in test sutie 4.0 (USMMIB) send an authenticated message with a HMAC (message authentication digest) reduced (right trim) from 11 to 1 byte.
The expected result is for the agent to drop the request and return a usmStatsWrongDigests report.
Q What if read-write objects are implemented as read-only?
A We implemented some MIB objects as read-only according to our specifications event though they are read-write by definition. SilverCreek reports failures.
Is there a way to configure SilverCreek to skip SET tests on those actual read-only objects?
And, in this case (implementing read-only instead of read-write), what is the correct return code? readonly (4) or notWritable (17)?
You can use
1) Test->Fine-tune Testing Options-->Ignore object in read-write testing...
2) Use an Agent-Capabilities MIB module. See
Help->Help Topics->
Configuring Agent-Capabilities
The access level and any other variation stated in the Agent Capabilities statement are honored by SilverCreek. For example,
if the original definition is "read-write", but the Agent Cap says it is implemented as "read-only" then SilverCreek will test
this object as "read-only".
You should never return readonly (4). Readonly is a status defined but should never be used by convention.
In snmpv1, you should return "noSuchName"
in snmpv2/v3, you should return "notWritable"
QWhy lexicographical ordering is important?
A The OID of the variable you retrieved from the agent via "NEXT" operation should be in lexicographical order. If they are not then MIB walk tests (test1.1.2, test22.214.171.124, and test220.127.116.11) will abort and subsequent tests could not be run. For example the following requests/responses are correct:
Request: 188.8.131.52.188.8.131.52
Response: 22.214.171.124.184.108.40.206.0
Request: 220.127.116.11.188.8.131.52
Response: 184.108.40.206.126.96.36.199.0
While the following requests/responses are incorrect:
Request: 184.108.40.206.188.8.131.52
Response: 22.214.171.124.188.8.131.52.0
Request: 184.108.40.206.22.214.171.124
Response: 220.127.116.11.188.8.131.52.0
The lexicographical order is critical for a NEXT implementation. If lexicographical ordering isn't properly handled then you may not retrieve the objects you want in your MIBs by issuing a simple "NEXT" command and it could cause managers to get into infinite loops.
If you decide to deal with it later and continue running tests, you can check Test->Ignore Lexi Errors to work around this issue temporarily.
QWhat is non-minimal basic encoding?
A The length field for some part of the message is padded with extra octets so this should normally be the length field for the entire message.
ASN.1 has two forms for encoding the length field. A full ASN.1 sequence consists of three elements:
< tag> <length> <contents>
Where <tag> is a single octet specifying the data type, <length> is one or more octets indicating the number of octets within <contents>, which is the value associated with <tag>.
The two forms for <length> are single-octet and multi-octet forms. The highest bit of the first length octet indicates whether it is single (0) or multi-octet (1). If it is 0, then the remaining bits are the length themselves; otherwise, the remaining bits indicate the length of the length field. The single-octet form is restricted to lengths from 0 to 127, since the high bit has a special purpose. The multi-octet form is not restricted.
So, lets take a couple examples: Suppose you have an integer encoding with the value 255. The smallest number of octets you could encode this in is 3:
02 01 ff
Here, 02 is the tag, 01 is the length and ff is the value. Using the multi-octet form, the "minimal encoding" is still encoded in the fewest octets possible:
02 81 01 ff
Here, "81" indicates multi-octet form with 1 octet in the length, then the 01 following indicates 1 octet in the contents. The "non-minimally encoded" form would add extra bytes to the length:
02 84 00 00 00 01 ff
Now you have 3 extra 0's in the length part of the ASN.1 encoding. This is legal, but is generally frowned upon, because the reason for the single and multi-octet forms is to encode the length field in as few octets as possible.

Cort - I considered quitting
Norwich new boy Carl Cort admits Kieron Dyer helped to persuade him not to retire from football.
Last Updated: 22/12/08 10:11am
Carl Cort admits he was ready to retire from football until Kieron Dyer persuaded him to visit former West Ham physio John Green.
Experienced striker Cort has recently signed a contract until the end of the season with Norwich City following a spell in Spain.
But the 31-year-old concedes he was on the brink of quitting until receiving some advice from his ex-Newcastle United team-mate Dyer.
"People talk about being on a roller-coaster," said Cort in The Sun. "But, for me, the last two years have just been downhill.
"It has been a very frustrating time.
"Earlier this year I was going to call it a day. I was moving from club to club and having big problems with my left knee.
"Kieron had been saying to me for a couple of years to see John Green. Yet I was so down in the dumps, I did not do it.
"I thought I would give it one last chance and spoke to John.
"I was reluctant to see him, as I didn't think much would happen. But I saw him, had an operation which cleaned things out in my knee, and now I am feeling fantastic.
"I want to get myself back to the level I was at mentally. Physically, I have not felt like this since I was at Wimbledon.
"I am really enjoying myself and, hopefully, can get a few more games."

Adventist minister, writer, and poet. The Cottrell family were Seventh Day Baptists who declined the Advent message under the Millerite movement because the Sabbath was missing. In 1849 after hearing Joseph Bates and another preacher present the prophecies along with the sanctuary and Sabbath, Roswell along with his father and brother began a nine-month study of the teaching, after which they accepted Sabbatarian Adventism. In 1854 James White ordained him to the ministry. That same year Roswell published a series of Bible lessons in the weekly Youth's Instructor.
Cottrell joined the Review staff in 1855 as a corresponding editor and member of the editorial committee, contributing articles and poetry. That year he wrote in support of Ellen White's prophetic gift, and three years later, in response to Ellen White's request, wrote an introduction on this gift for her book Spiritual Gifts, Volume 1 in which she related the great controversy vision. He initially openly opposed organization of the churches, but after James White's articles and Ellen White's testimonies addressing the need for gospel order, he reversed his position. His poetry has become the lyrics to hymns still sung by SDAs. Other positions he held were president of the New York Conference and chaplain of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.

What they say is that "Women are 56% of Facebook users… that's about 56 million more people. Also Women are more active than men… Women have 8% more friends and participate in 62% of the sharing." Not too bad when you tried to make an advertising or a page viral…. Ok i have to say that as of today, my biggest buyers are men. But obviously i would be blind to keep it that way! Im gonna try different thing to get more women in my net in the following days.
They also go over how both sexes use facebook and other social media for different purposes. where women use it more to connect and share, men use it more to learn, gain competitive advantage and promote themselves… Sounds about right.
It's a good read, how can we apply that to our business? comment below! Have you check my techniques to make money with teespring?

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/246,607 filed May 20, 1994 now abandoned.
This invention relates to the field of medicine, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods for performing functional mapping of living organisms. Its sphere of application covers a variety of physiological processes taking place in women's mammary glands in their normal state and in the presence of pathology. The aim of the invention is the early visualization and diagnosis of various mammary gland pathologies, including cancer.
An apparatus for investigation of the mammary gland is known which employs illumination of the gland and observing the radiation transmitted through the investigated tissues (Mahmud, U.S. Pat. No. 4,212,306). This apparatus is very simple in its realization, but has the considerable disadvantage of not being able to record the spatial distribution of radiation transmitted through the investigated tissue. As a result, unambiguous estimation of the patient's condition is not possible.
An apparatus for performing mammoscopy is taught by Carroll (U.S. Pat. No. 4,515,165) which has the ability to record the spatial distribution of transmitted and back scattered radiation in the visible and infrared ranges. It includes a computer for performing the analysis of static images of the investigated tissue. This apparatus, however, permits the estimation of neither the state of the blood content of the mammary gland's capillary network, nor the functional dynamics of physiological processes related to the state of the entire organism.
An apparatus for the non-invasive investigation of living organism's functional dynamics based on analysis of images of infrared radiation emitted by the investigated organs (thermovision), is known (Godik, E. E. and Guljaev, Yu. V.; Radiotechnics 1991, no. 8 pp. 53-56).
This apparatus consists of a detection system, an interface board and a system for processing and displaying the dynamic images. This apparatus is capable of detecting areas of the investigated organism that are characterized by similar and/or synchronous functional behavior. In other words, it constructs functional maps of physiological processes of the organism. The apparatus has the potential to permit diagnosis of the functional state of capillary microcirculation, for identification of reflective and humoral disturbances of blood vessels as well as revealing precursors of various other pathologies. This apparatus, however, has some considerable disadvantages. Biological tissues are practically opaque for IR-thermal radiation, therefore, any information on the blood content of the tissues located below the thin (100 μm) epidermis cannot be visualized directly. Thermal information from these deeper layers is carried to the surface by means of thermal conductivity rather than direct radiation, resulting in a delay of up to several seconds. As a result, this apparatus is limited to a resolution of several seconds in time and about a millimeter in depth. In addition, this apparatus is not able to investigate changes in blood content distribution past the epidermis.
The closest apparatus to the claimed invention herein is the functional mammoscope (Godik, E. E. and Guljaev, Yu. V.; Radiotechnics 1991, no. 8 pp. 60-61). This instrument is capable of performing multispectral functional mapping of living organisms. Contrary to the above described apparatus based upon thermovision, this instrument is supplied with an illumination source in the 0.6 to 1.3 μm wavelength range, for which biological tissues are known to be quite transparent. The functional mammoscope consists of an illuminator, a mammary gland holder made from transparent plates, and a photo detector system coupled via an interface board to a computer. The interface board performs the analog to digital conversion of the output photodetector signals followed by their input into the computer system as temporal sequences of frames. The computer accumulates the temporal frame sequences, performs spatial and temporal Fourier filtration and differentiates them. In addition, the computer transforms the frame sequences into functional images by detecting areas with similar or synchronous functional behavior over time. These functional images are also called functional maps.
This functional mammoscope apparatus also has considerable disadvantages. First, it does not permit observation and processing of functionally similar areas of both mammary glands simultaneously. According to our data, the correspondence between functional maps generated by both mammary glands simultaneously carries the most valuable information.
Second, illumination of the mammary gland is performed from only one side. Under these conditions, inhomogeneities located near the side opposite the illuminator are most likely to be detected. Inhomogeneities near the side of the gland being illuminated have to be larger and more opaque to be detected due to the scattering of light by the investigated tissues.
Third, this apparatus is not supplied with the necessary facilities for performing necessary functional tests.
The apparatus of the present inventions overcomes the disadvantages of the apparatus described above. It is characterized by an increased information volume and determines the patients physiological state with high reliability. At the same time it provides sufficiently comfortable conditions for the patient during the investigation procedure.
The apparatus or optical mammoscope of this invention is a modification of the known apparatus and includes an illuminator, a mammary gland holder, and a photodetector connected to a computer via an interface board and includes an additional illuminator supplied with an illuminator control means, an optical means for making adjacent images from images of opposite sides of the mammary gland, an optical commutator and an input-output controller. The optical commutator is placed between the means for making adjacent images and the input to a zoom lens attached to the photodetector means. The optical commutator and the illuminator control means is connected to the computer via the input-output controller.
The present apparatus is also distinguished by inclusion of an additional holder for the second mammary gland along with similar illuminators, optical means and control means as described above.
The present apparatus is further distinguished by the construction of the illuminators as a panel consisting of discrete optical radiation sources coupled to an optical system that projects images of the sources onto the surface of the transparent plates that form the mammary gland holders. These transparent plates are formed from closely packed fiber-optic rods set perpendicular to the surface of the plates, thereby collimating the light passing through the plate.
The illuminators may have a common source of optical radiation and a fiber-optic beam splitter employed to distribute the illumination uniformly over the transparent plates that form the mammary gland holder.
The present apparatus is even further distinguished by the inclusion into the illumination system of at least two sources of optical radiation together with corresponding fiber-optic beam-splitting systems, the output from the latter being distributed evenly inside the transparent plates that form the mammary gland holder.
The present apparatus is further distinguished by the construction of the output elements of the fiber-optic beam splitter mounted in the transparent plates that form the mammary gland holder. The ends of the fibers have rounded ends and are mounted on springs, so that the ends of the fibers protrude from the surface of the plates.
The illumination system of this invention can use either laser diodes, light-emitting diodes, or incandescent lamps as light sources. The system that forms adjacent images from views of opposite sides of the mammary gland is constructed from fiber-optic transmission lines. These adjacent views are imaged onto the photodetectors by a zoom lens. At least one of the transparent plates that form the mammary gland holder is supplied with a moveable diaphragm that can increase or decrease pressure on the gland under control of the computer.
The transparent plates of the mammoscope mammary gland holder are ball-jointed from one side and are supplied with a driver for their controlled movement.
The claimed apparatus is explained by the drawings, where:
FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of this invention shown partially in schematic fashion;
FIG. 2 shows details of the mammary gland holder of this invention in schematic fashion and with block diagrams including the optical system that forms adjacent views of opposite sides of the gland for the case in which projective illumination is used;
FIG. 3 shows in pictorial fashion a version of the transparent plate design using fiber-optic cylinders to collimate the light passing through the plate;
FIG. 4 shows the disposition of the output element of the fiber-optic light beam splitter at the transparent plate showing the rounded end and spring suspension;
FIG. 5 shows the disposition of the a light emitting diode in the transparent plate; and
FIG. 6 shows in schematic fashion an alternate embodiment of the present invention using a fiber-optic system of illumination.
The present invention is based on the formation of dynamic maps of radiation both transmitted and back scattered by the investigated subject. Illumination of both sides of the mammary gland together with an optical system that juxtaposes images of both glands adjacent to one another makes it possible to form dynamic maps of both sides simultaneously by alternately illuminating each side. The time interval between switching the illumination should be chosen to less than that of successive dynamic maps, or between 0.5 and 10 seconds.
Application of the apparatus of this invention (generally in the form of an optical mammoscope) does not have to be restricted to mammary gland imaging, although its advantages are most clearly manifested in mammoscopy. It is possible to investigate other parts of a living organism, provided their dimensions are not too large. This could include the extremities, the head or the body of an infant.
This apparatus permits measurements in several modes: transmitted radiation, back scattered radiation or both transmitted and back scattered radiation.
Whether illumination is provided by projecting light onto the mammary gland, or applying light to the surface of the mammary gland via optical fibers or miniature optical radiation sources, four images of transmitted light are recorded, two from each gland as the light sources alternately illuminate the top or bottom of the gland. Each pair of images characterizes the distribution of inhomogeneities located on the side closest to the detector. Thus, when illumination is applied to the bottom of the gland, functional inhomogeneities located near the upper surface of the gland are seen more clearly, and vice versa.
In the case where both transmitted and back scattered light are recorded, eight images are recorded, four for each gland. The images are recorded nearly simultaneously, thereby providing maximal correlation between the functional maps formed by back scattered radiation from the same side and transmitted radiation from the opposite side. In order to maximize spatial contrast, all four images of one side of both glands are processed simultaneously by the computer system using image correlation methods as described in Platinov, S. A. and Godik, E. E., et al., "Radiotechnics" (Russian) 1991, No. 8, pp. 53-56.
More specifically, the apparatus (or optical mammoscope) contains three main parts: the mammary gland holder that is coupled to the illuminators, a photodetection device with a system for making adjacent images from views of opposite sides of the mammary gland and a computer system for data processing and control of the apparatus.
Reference is now made to FIG. 1 of the drawings which depicts an overall view of the apparatus of this invention showing the stand or support 1 having mechanical translation stages 2 that move horizontally supplied with locking mechanisms 3. The mammary gland holders are formed by optical plates 5 hinged at the translation stages 2. The movement of the optical plates 5 are controlled by the plate control 6. The optical plates 5 are optically coupled to the illuminators 7, which are controlled by the illumination control 8. The computer 10 controls both the plate control 6 and the illumination control 8 via the input-output control 9. An imaging system 11, represented by the dotted lines in FIG. 1, brings together images of both sides of both mammary glands at the input of the zoom lens 12 of the photodetector device 13. The imaging system 11 may be formed by a system of mirrors 14 and 15, aligned in such a way as to juxtapose the images of both of the upper sides and both of the lower sides of the mammary glands. The photodetector device 13 is connected to the computer system 10 via the interface block 16. An optical commutator 17 is placed between optical elements or mirrors 15 of the imaging system 11 to switch between images of both upper or both lower sides of the mammary glands. The optical commutator 17 is actuated by a stepper motor 18 that is controlled by the computer 10 via the input-output control 9. The optical commutator 17 may be a two-sided mirror, in which case the stepper motor 18 can rotate the optical commutator in one direction in 90 degree steps.
In all embodiments of this invention the optical plates 5 are optically coupled with the illuminators 7 irrespective of where the illuminators are placed. Optical radiation from the illuminators 7 can be projected onto the surface of the optical plates via an optical system or connected to them via optical fibers, or the illuminators may be placed directly into the surface of the optical plates.
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of this invention that employs projected illumination. Illuminators 7 include a panel 19 in which discrete sources 20 of optical radiation are placed. Each of the sources 20 of optical radiation are connected to the input-output controller 9 via the illuminator control 8, which provides their independent control and regulation.
Still referring to FIG. 2 of the drawings, between the panel 19 and transparent plates 5, a lens system 21 is mounted which projects images of the sources 20 onto the surface of the plates 5. This system is made adjustable to enable the size, form and position of the projected images to be changed. The material that make up the plates 5 is unisotropic, as a result these plates are preferentially transparent to light which strikes the plate perpendicular to its surface and non-transparent to light parallel to the surface, thereby collimating the transmitted light. Collimating the light increases the contrast of the mammary gland images 22. FIG. 3 shows a means for accomplishing this, where optical fibers 24 with a large cross-section and small length are assembled with an ordered disposition in a common glass matrix 25 to form a collimator 23. Such collimators are known elements of optical electronic devices (Svenchikov, S. V., "Optoelectronic Elements," Moscow, Izd. "Soviet Radio" 1971, pp. 250-256). Another possible way to achieve the would be to construct the collimator 23 from an opaque material with through holes perpendicular to the surface of the collimator through which the illumination is transmitted.
For proper alignment of the optical elements, the mammary gland holder 4 may be coupled to the elements of the illumination system 7 and the imaging system 11. Referring to FIG. 2, mirrors 14, lens system 21, and illuminators 19 may all be attached to a common support 1.
The illuminator 7 may be realized as either separate illuminators for each transparent plate 5 or as a single illuminator coupled to the four transparent plates 5 via optical fibers and beam splitters. All elements of the light intensity control, including filters and diaphragms are mounted in each channel of the splitter. The same arrangement of optical fibers and beam splitters is used when separate sources of optical radiation with different wavelengths are employed, with the number of input channels increasing corresponding to the number of additional input sources.
FIG. 4 shows the output elements 26 of the beam splitter 27 are placed in the body of the transparent plates 5 uniformly, thereby creating homogeneous illumination over the mammary gland. In addition, the output elements 26 stand out from the plate 5, producing reliable light contact with the mammary gland surface 22. This has the additional effect of excluding any direct illumination of the photodetector device 13. The output elements 26 can additionally be made springy with the addition of spring elements 27. This will not only serve to exclude direct illumination of the photodetector device 13 but also avoid patient discomfort. The working surface 28 of the output elements 26 is rounded and the optical fibers themselves can be terminated either at the outer surface of the transparent plates 5 or in their body.
When miniature sources 29 of optical radiation are used as illuminators, they may be inserted directly into holes made in the transparent plates 5 as shown in FIG. 5. The connection between these sources 29 and the illumination control 8 can be made with the same technology as a printed circuit board, where the traces 30 and 31 can be either formed on the non-working surface of the transparent plates 5 or mounted inside the body. These sources 29 can be incandescent lamps, light emitting diodes or laser diodes. Diodes are preferable since mounting several light emitting or laser diodes that emit different wavelengths permits the selection of the spectral composition of the illumination. FIG. 5 shows an example where a light emitting diode 29 is mounted in a plate 5 and coupled via outputs 30 to the traces 31 that are connected to the illumination control 8. The illumination panel 19 in FIG. 2 may be constructed in a similar fashion.
FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the invention using optical fibers for both the imaging and illumination systems. This embodiment uses optical fibers to form adjacent images from images of the opposite side of the mammary glands instead of the mirrors described above.
In FIG. 6 optical radiation from illuminators 7 is transmitted to output elements 26 mounted in the body of the transparent plates 5 as shown in FIG. 4. The output elements 26 are surrounded by the receiving ends of the optical fiber input elements 32, 33, 34, and 35 of image transmission fiber optic 36, having four output optical fibers 37. There is one such image optical fiber 37 for each plate 5. The output fibers 37 are coupled to the zoom lens 12 of the photodetector 13 via the accommodating element 38. The accommodating element 38 can be constructed from gradient refractive index (GRIN) elements. The light sensitive element 39 of the photodetector 13 can be a two-dimensional array of semiconductor photodetectors, for example a charge-coupled device (CCD.)
Input elements 32-35 are distributed over the transparent plates 5 in an ordered manner, but with higher density than the illuminating elements 26 shown in FIG. 4. In addition, they can be supplied with lenses that increase their field of view. These lenses can be constructed as GRIN lenses or other miniature lenses. The input elements are capable of forming images of both the upper and lower parts of the mammary glands and can record both transmitted and back scattered illumination.
A system of fiber-optic image transmission may be realized also for the case where miniature sources 29 of optical radiation are mounted directly in the transparent plates 5.
The illumination control 8 sets the necessary level of illumination intensity and its spectral composition by computer command. This is true for a single source of illumination or for separate sources of illumination. The switching of different light sources or groups of light sources occurs with the help of input-output control 9.
The plate control 6 (FIG. 1), as well as the components that move the transparent plates 5 internally may be realized using known mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic devices. Their functioning, however, should be "gentle," providing smooth and reliable movement of the plates 5. One function of this mechanism is to provide mammary gland compression, as described by Carr (U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,961, Oct. 4, 1988).
The computer software which processes the acquired data is similar to that described in Godik E. E and Guljaev, Yu. V. "Radiotechnics," (Russian) 1991, No. 8, pp. 53-56 and 60-61 and Platinov, S. A. and Godik, E. E., et al, "Radiotechnics" (Russian) 1991, No. 8, pp. 62-68. The software processes the acquired data and represents it as dynamic maps of the mammary gland's four surfaces simultaneously.
The apparatus or optical mammoscope functions in the following manner. First the mechanical translation stages 2 are adjusted with the help of the locking elements 3 to fit the patients mammary glands between the transparent plates 5 of holders 4. The mammary glands are then compressed by the plates 5 under control of the plate control 6.
In all embodiments of the invention, the illuminated areas of the mammary gland 22 are made coincident with the field of view of the imaging system 11, which juxtaposes the images of opposite sides of both glands simultaneously.
The procedure of investigating the mammary glands proceeds as follows. The computer system 10 sends control signals to the illumination control 8, the plate control 6 and the stepper motor 18 via the input-output control 9. The illumination control 8 sets up the necessary spectral composition and intensity of the illumination by controlling the appropriate radiation sources. Stepper motor 18 sets the appropriate position of optical commutator 17. Using these controls, the data can be gathered using the following protocols:
continuous illumination of all four areas.
sequential illumination of the four areas at time intervals much less than the time constant of the investigated process.
pulsed illumination.
Spatial-temporal distributions of the intensity of the transmitted and/or back scattered light recorded by the photodetector device 13 are digitized by the interface block 16 and transmitted to the computer system 10 for processing.
At the spectral ranges where physiological pigments connected with blood and cell metabolisms have their absorption bands, the natural functional dynamics of the living organism's tissues are reflected by the calculated dynamic maps. The appearance of inhomogeneities in the dynamic maps points to the presence of functional disturbances of the tissue investigated, which usually precede the origin of morphological pathology.
When projected illumination is used, as shown in FIG. 2, four dynamic images are obtained, two from each mammary gland. They are formed by transmitted light from illumination of the opposite side of the gland. Each pair of gland images will characterize the distribution of functional inhomogeneities located on the side opposite the illumination.
When both mammary glands are examined, and back scattered light is recorded in addition to transmitted light, eight images are recorded. As was shown above, simultaneously analyzing transmitted and back scattered light increases the spatial contrast of the dynamic maps.
The apparatus of the present invention makes it possible to record the sensitivity of the dynamic images to different functional tests. One possible test is a step-wise reduction in the force compressing the mammary glands. To accomplish this, the transparent plates 5 are released as quickly as possible by means of a step-wise reduction in hydraulic or pneumatic pressure by plate control 6. The dynamic images obtained during the test and immediately after are then analyzed. In order to synchronize the functional test with dynamic image acquisition, plate control 6 can be connected to input-output control 9.
One of the important advantages of this invention is the ability to obtain simultaneous dynamic images of both mammary glands from both the upper and lower sides with alternating illumination. This permits the investigation of spatial inhomogeneities of the functional dynamics whose sources are located deep in the gland.

The Outsiders : The New Outdoor Creativity by Jeffrey Bowman
More and more creatives are yearning to travel and have adventures in the great outdoors. The new scene that has emerged out of this development is designing original outdoor products, improving on existing ones, and reflecting on their experience in new ways. The Outsiders captures moods, showcases products and individuals, and presents illustration and graphic design.
Includes interviews with key players from across the outdoor sector such as surf photographer and author of Distant Shores Chris Burkard, Patagonia's Vincent Stanley and Poler's Benji Wagner, designers Geoff McFetridge and Groovisions, polar explorer Arved Fuchs, expedition paddler Mark Kalch, champion free-skier Ane Enderud, custom motorcycle builder James Crowe, and the Hoepner brothers, who rode their bikes together from Berlin to Shanghai.
Adam J. Kurtz Things are what you make of them Every day is a chance...

I agree that I am over the age of 18 and that our team will play a full season which will consist of at least 10 weeks. As the team captain, I am aware that I am signing the team up for the full season and should we pull out of the league then I will be liable for all costs as per the terms and conditions.
I agree that by agreeing to the league services agreement, the playing rules, the referees services agreement and the pitch hire agreement in the links above and by clicking on the sumbit button and thus submitting the form to Football Mundial I am entering into a legally binding contract with Football Mundial and I am accepting an offer to join a league. I also agree that this is not an invitation to treat.
I have read and agree to abide by football mundial Rules & Regulations. By submitting this form, I understand that both myself and my team are playing at our own risk and football mundial cannot be held responsible for personal injury sustained while participating in the leagues.
Any teams playing in football mundial leagues are playing on the understanding and agreement that the team is signed up for the full season and should a team wish to pull out during the season the captain and team will be required to give at least four week's written notice. Failure to do so will result in the team being liable for withdrawal fees.
This form acts as a League Entry Agreement and I will also sign a Pitch Hire Agreement Form for the use of the pitch if required.

Odor Hunter
Buy Now
John writes,
How does Odor Hunter work? If not enzyme, is it protein based?
A reaction occurs where the product molecule bonds with odor molecules and creates an irreversible bond around the Nitrogen and Sulfur molecules, thereby instantly and permanently changing the odor's chemical structure, which eliminates the odor. Odor Hunter is safe to use in and around pet areas.

Indeed. But to bad this song is not very good imo...
Thick chick or this chick?
Wow.. That song really is garbage. That being said, this is def the best I ever saw her look. In the dress, standing in the shadows, she even look like Beyonce a little.
Hush you.
YouTube - Jordin Sparks - Battlefield
Grammar correction: Thick chicks ARE hot.
Sorry, I couldn't help it. LOL Anyway, I agree. She looks awesome in this video. It's not a bad song. I mean, it's her first time trying to move into a different genre. I guess it really isn't her style after all.
nice to look at. cant stand the music
Nuff said. Its really too bad shes talentless...perhaps she could find a better way of being a performer. lol.
ooooo....not very nice to me!
a request is for you to please not upload

CJ5 rock armor thread
With my tiny bits of spare time, I've been searching a bit for some CJ5 armor. Specifically, front tube fenders. Once I started searching, I found nobody makes any. All of the websites specifically state "CJ7" in the description.
This got me thinking about rear wheel well armor. There is such a huge market for these things for TJs and JKs and the lot of them, but nothing for a CJ5 with the crazy door openings and oddly shaped rear quarters. I'm pretty intent on finding some, and if I can't, I'll more than likely have some made locally.
Anyway, I've been searching for a few days now for some CJ5 armor threads and couldn't find any, so I figured I would post one here. If you have a link to some CJ5 compatable armor, post it here! Any type of armor at all, bumpers, cages, rockers, fenders, skid plates, anything!

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure the cj7 fenders are the same for the cj5...
I think they might be as well, haven't swapped any parts myself so I didn't want to jump to a wrong answer. My main search right now is rear corners and rock sliders. But I figured listing it all couldn't hurt to someone else searching for some armor.
I do know they make diamond plating for the CJ5's
Front Fenders are the same for the 72-later CJs.. both 5s and 7s.
Might not be too difficult to cut down a set of CJ7 Rock Sliders to fit a CJ5... worth looking into.
CJ5 and CJ7 front fenders are identical.
Warrior does make rear corners and rocker in diamond plate....

And for your bumpers.... BESRK (Groundpounder)....
BESRK makes great bumpers for CJs. He made both of mine.
Speaking of which, Eddie I'll make sure to send you some video of this thing bouncing off the rev limiter hopefully around March. I'm getting back to the states in November and giving myself 4 months to get it running.
I've been looking at some frame mounted rock sliders. I found these guys.

Oh and, :bump: for more links
this thread needs to be a sticky with all those good links in it...

Thanks Brian! I couldn't find DND's rockers on their website, so I just listed their contact info in the link.
What about comp cut corners? I know Genright and other companies make them for the CJ7, but I can never find any for the 5. :(
He is there thread on the forum about TJ sliders, I just pmed them about ones for a 5 and they sent me a quote with shipping. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f43/t...-logo-1067832/
Just added this thread to the CJ FAQ List :cheers2::thumbsup:
Eddie while you're at it, you should link me some of your work! For some reason the other side of the Earth doesn't load eBay
Edit: Does that link I have under bumpers cover all of your stuff?
Edit2: Thanks for adding it! :D
These guys should be included, they sell tube fenders that are mostly bolt on (no welding) for CJ5s for 200. I have had them for a year and love them. Right now their site is under construction, but you can see them in my build thread.
Send me a PM when their website is finished and I'll add it to post #2
Bump for updated links. Any more you guys can think of?

text: Hey guys, I have two spare batteries that I bought on ebay, and they have been working great with my Droid X until I upgraded to Froyo. Now when I use the "Spares" my phone works, but it displays a "?" where the battery reading is supposed to go in the task bar, therefore not telling me how much charge is holds, and when I try to charge the phone with a "Spare" in it, it says it's an unrecognized battery and cannot charge it. Anyone have a fix? I will root if I have to. Which BTW, which is the easiest way to root Droid X with Froyo lately? Does the one click method still work? THANKS!
