TSA hassles cancer patient over bandages
Associated Press
SEATTLE — A Michigan woman dying of leukemia hopes her embarrassing experience at a Seattle airport changes the way the Transportation Security Administration treats travelers with medical conditions.
Michelle Dunaj, 34, was making what she expects will be the last trip of her life on Oct. 2 as she departed for Hawaii.
The Roseville, Mich., woman thought she had prepared by calling the airline ahead of time, asking for a wheelchair, carrying documentation for her feeding tubes and making sure she had prescriptions for all her medications, including five bags of saline solution. But Dunaj said she received a full pat-down in the security line at Sea-Tac Airport and had to lift her shirt and pull back bandages so agents could get a good look. She said everyone else in line got a look, too.
"My issue is: It was in front of everyone, and everyone was looking at me like I was a criminal or like I was doing something wrong," Dunaj told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It shouldn't have been in front of everyone."
Dunaj said a female agent performed the pat-down and asked her to lift up her shirt after feeling the tubes going into Dunaj's chest and abdomen. Dunaj said her suggestion for a more private pat-down was dismissed.
"I asked them if they thought that was an appropriate location, and they told me that everything was fine," she said.
She said another agent punctured one of the saline bags she was carrying, ruining it.
"I didn't want to start getting upset and swearing and causing more of a scene or issue," Dunaj said. "But it definitely wasn't handled properly."
Dunaj said that after her pat-down, she was asked to move along, as if she were responsible for holding up the line.
"I thought that was a little rude," she said.
After Dunaj told her story on KOMO-TV, the TSA started looking into the situation, Northwest Region spokeswoman Lorie Dankers said.
"Any time a passenger requests a private screening, they should be granted one," Dankers said.
"We work to make our screening procedures as minimally invasive as possible while still proving the level of security that the American people want and deserve," Dankers added in an email statement.
Travelers with disabilities can call a TSA hotline with questions about screening procedures.
Dunaj had no problems flying out of Detroit or returning to Seattle from Hawaii. She stayed with a friend at suburban Bonney Lake in western Washington, and returns to Michigan on Wednesday. She wasn't looking forward to departing from Sea-Tac, although the TSA contacted her through KOMO and offered to have a manager help her through security.
She'll enter hospice on Oct. 17 back home.
Dunaj decided to make the trip after she was told she had three to four months to live. She doesn't regret it, despite the hassles.
"Hawaii was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen," she said. "Number 1 on my bucket list."
She hopes her experience might change the TSA's practices or at least embolden others like her to keep trying.
"I figure if nothing else, it might help someone in the future and encourage people facing the same challenges I have faced to do what they want to do and see things before it's too late."

The Top 5 Fastest Cars accelerating in AutoBahn Germany 2017
Buying a fast car today is shockingly easy: in top V-6 spec, even the stolid, workaday Toyota Camry will hit 129 mph—and that's an electronically-limited top speed. But, like the difference between your self-professed Crossfit "athlete" friend and, say, an Olympic wrestler, it's one thing to be ready for an autobahn sprint at a moment's notice and another to hold the title of Fastest Car in the World. At the most elite level, current numbers even for production cars are approaching the ludicrous: zero-to-60 mph times are thumping on the two-second floor, and whereas it took more than a century after the invention of the automobile to hit the 200-mph mark in a road-legal production car (that honor belonging to the Ferrari F40, which in 1987 topped out at a tick over 202 mph), just thirty years after that the new Bugatti Chiron can reportedly go straight from the dealer showroom to 261 mph—suggesting 300 mph is not too far down the road. So, who's making cars go as fast as they can possibly go while still offering things like air conditioning and stereos and, you know, warranties? It's a list of who's-who in the high-end European performance car world, with familiar names like Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Bugatti. No surprises there, though the appearance of one rejuvenated, iconic supercar from a stalwart Detroit badge was a pleasant surprise. To keep things on the level, there are some conditions for inclusion on this list. First, it has to be a street-legal production car (by reasonable definition) from a major manufacturer—so a low-volume or limited edition version of an existing car is fine, but a one-off or aftermarket-tuned experiment doesn't count, nor does a dedicated track specialist like, say, a Ferrari FXX K. Next, it has to be new: only model year 2017 cars or newer will be considered. Last, since this is a broad survey of the current state of speed, only one car from a given brand will be included; if a badge has several vehicles that could conceivably make this 205-mph-and-up list, only the fastest vehicle will rank. As the ballers say, Fast Don't Lie. Here are the fastest production cars in the world right now. 2017.

1962 Hofner Senator Thin With Original Case.This Guitar was my Father-in-Law's, He bought it new in 1962 and played a bit in jazz bands. He gave it to me and it's a sin to sell it really but I am downsizing and have no room for it. There is one pickup and I think all the wiring is original. The tone of the pickup when amplified is superb, not massively powerful but mellow. the volume control is missing its cap, it works a little scratchily. It has three switches one "Rhythm/Solo" which raises the volume slightly in the solo setting and the other two, marked "Bass on" and "Treble on" which don't seem to make any differance. The Machine heads are original. As you can see in the photo, the spindle on the "D" machine head is slightly bent, but this doesn't interfere with use. The Colour of the wood is great, the back looks especially good where you have a lovely Blond tiger-striped grain. The back has some belt-buckle marks in the varnish, there are three knocks to the varnish on the front that I can see and one on the top of the neck. Overall in good condition for 49 years old. The same cannot be said for the case however, which has only one hinge still attached. The catches are all rusty but hold the case shut and the black material on the outside is flaking all round the edges and has ... read more

KEY POINT: The book Good Calories Bad Calories makes a compelling, science-based case that carbs and sugar - not fats or "excess calories" - cause obesity and disease.
What is Good Calories Bad Calories?
It is a long, scholarly book that lays out a case that the refined carbohydrates in our diet (as opposed to the fats and cholesterol) drive obesity and other diseases. Science writer Gary Taubes spent nearly a decade researching this book. He builds an argument against the conventional wisdom by synthesizing research from dozens of disciplines.
***NEW COOL CONTENT*** For a WORLD-EXCLUSIVE 45 PAGE INTERVIEW with Gary -- as well as awesome tips to help low carbers navigate our "high carb" world, please check out this new ebook:
Who is this Gary Taubes, and what are his credentials?
He is NOT a doctor or dietician or diet guru. He is an award-winning, Harvard-educated science journalist. Here is a link to his bio.
What are the main points of Good Calories Bad Calories?
For a good summary, click here.
Here is a link to the ten conclusions from Good Calories Bad Calories that Gary Taubes says are "inescapable" to him "based on the existing knowledge."
And if you have 70 minutes to spare, watch this video, in which Taubes defends the hypothesis that calories do NOT count. (warning: the video is not exactly the highest quality, and the sound-sync is off in places, which can be distracting. Try to ignore the technical problems: the content is worth it.)
Did Taubes come up with all this stuff on his own?
Obivously not. But he did aggregate and synthesize a lot of technical research. The book has hundreds of citations. Key researchers he quotes include:
Why does this site have such a bias towards Good Calories Bad Calories?
This site's authors have zero affiliation with the author. We are just excited about these ideas and want to get as many people as possible to consider them. We believe that it is unlikely that an open-minded individual could read GCBC without coming away with a changed understanding – not only about what constitutes a "healthy" diet – but also about what constitutes good science and bad science.
Are other people this excited about it?
Yes. Consider this quote from Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes:
"Gary Taubes' Good Calories Bad Calories is easily the most important book on diet and health to be published in the past 100 years. It is clear, fast paced, and exciting to read, rigorous, authoritative and a beacon of hope for all those who struggle with problems of weight regulation and general health – as who does not? If Taubes were a scientist, rather than a gifted, resourceful science journalist, he would deserve and receive the noble price in medicine."
Okay, perhaps Rhodes may be slightly "over the top."
Here are more positive reviews from: Livin La Vida Low Carb, The Beantown Bloggery, Ukiah Community Blog, and Atkins website.
Here is another good review of GCBC from Dr. Eades.
For reference and balance, here are links to criticisms of GCBC. Read these reviews! This site's authors believe that the criticisms don't pan out. For instance, take special note of the back and forth between Taubes and critics like Gina Kolata, Michael Fumento, and George Bray.
This article by Michael Fumento from the March 2003 issue of Reason Magazine attacks Taubes.
And here is Taubes' response to Fumento's criticism.
Here is a negative review of Good Calories Bad Calories written by Gina Kolata, a science writer for the New York Times.
And here is Taubes' response to Kolata's piece.
And here Dr. Michael Eades weighs in on the Taubes-Kolata debate.
War of words between Gary Taubes and George Bray over GCBC. (By the way, Taubes provides an excellent summary of his case here, if you want to cut to the chase of this whole debate.)
Read more about the clash of Taubes and Bray here.
These reviews (positive and negative) are by no means comprehensive, but hopefully they can give you a flavor for the debate.
How could a science writer possibly have "gotten it right" while so many trained medical professionals "got it wrong"?
This is a key question, and it speaks to an issue that makes most people feel uncomfortable. How could an outsider -- someone who's not even a doctor -- possibly identify gaping flaws in perspective, methodology, and so forth that medical experts all missed? One reason might be "groupthink." If you're taught in medical school that low fat diets work and that "a calorie is a calorie," then you will pass these ideas down to others in your field and reinforce them.
Someone like Gary Taubes, on the other hand, enters the debate as an unencumbered observer. He can look at the evidence from different perspectives without worrying about upsetting the apple cart and disappointing peers and mentors.

Original paper
Standardless, minimally destructive chemical analysis of red beryls by means of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Tempesta, Gioacchino; Agrosì, Giovanna
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 28 Number 3 (2016), p. 571 - 580
published: Jun 1, 2016
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/2016/0028-2529
ArtNo. ESP147052803005, Price: 29.00 €
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a valuable technique for performing qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses of all elements in one shot, including light elements (like Li and Be). This technique does not require any sample preparation and reveals all atomic species, even when present in small amounts. In this study we use a new LIBS prototype coupled with a petrographic microscope to obtain a spot size of approximately 10μ m on selected and homogeneous areas with minimal damage to the mineral. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses were performed on six samples of a rare red variety of beryl, using a standardless method (Calibration Free-LIBS) for quantitative data. Preliminary analyses by Raman spectroscopy and VIS-NIR refl ectance spectroscopy showed that two of the six samples were pezzottaite. The LIBS spectra confirm the Raman and VIS-NIR data, demonstrating that this technique can distinguish red beryl from pezzottaite, mainly by observing the differences in Cs and Li emission lines. The standardless quantitative analysis proves to be suitable for the quantification of major and minor elements in beryl, as shown by comparison with literature data. In particular, the quantifi cation of Mn confirmed a direct correlation between the concentration of this chromophore element and the red colour saturation of the samples.

Seattle Sounders general manager and president of soccer Garth Lagerwey is still "cautiously optimistic" that forward Clint Dempsey will be able to participate in preseason training, according to ESPN's Jeff Carlisle.
Dempsey missed the final 10 matches of the 2016 regular season while recovering from an irregular heartbeat. He returned to training briefly a few weeks after undergoing a procedure, but was ultimately shut down for the rest of the year in September and missed all of the team's run to MLS Cup, despite practicing lightly leading into the final.
"Dempsey is participating now, he's running," Lagerwey told ESPN. "Will he be 90-minutes match fit at the start of training camp? No, but nor will many of our guys given how long they played [last season].
"We're going to take it easy at the beginning, but we'll ramp him back up slowly. You've got to be safe with him."
United States men's national team head coach Bruce Arena had mentioned that he hoped Dempsey would be able to partake in January camp this week in Los Angeles, but Arena remained optimistic about the future of the U.S.' second all-time leading goalscorer, for both club and country.
"Dempsey hasn't played soccer in six months," said Lagerwey. "You don't overcome that in a day or a week. You've got to get fit and play soccer and all those kinds of things. We'll be carefully monitoring every step of the way in the process."
As for whether Dempsey will be ready to start the 2017 MLS season, Lagerwey can't say for certain.
"Sure, we're hopeful, but honestly, I don't know if we even control that," Lagerwey said. "We are going to do our best to try and get him ready to play in a safe manner, and if it happens, great, and if it doesn't, then we'll be patient and wait as long as it takes."
The Sounders open the regular season against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on March 4 at 5:30 p.m. PT.

A topic that most interests me lately is the justice league that is set to assemble in a couple years. We know that aquaman and wonderwoman will be introduced in this movie but I am personally more interested at the possibility of a bigger more complete justice league. With the immediate success of the arrow and the flash, the possibility of bringing those storylines and characters into the justice league has to be a possibility. The flash and arrow both already share a universe so it would be easy to bring both of them at the same time. Another show Gotham, is hinting at sharing the same universe with both of those shows which means this could be a major timeline and origin story for the batman we will be seeing played by Ben affleck in batman vs superman. Going into the batman vs superman movie, batmans past is going to have to be solidified and explain early in the movie and Gotham could answer a lot of those questions if they do it right. With Gotham setting to skip Bruce's playboy stage they could make batman alittle darker and edgier like he is the dark knight returns, even though in that Bruce is darker and edgier due to years of fighting scum. Ben affleck could easily drop in on an episode of either arrow or the flash and send them the justice league invite much like nick fury did in ironman 2 or in the end of the 2008 hulk film. Dc could use Gotham, arrow, flash and batman vs superman to cement all their characters into the justice league much like the avengers did. The difference is dc has current heroes on tv series so the justice league assemblyncpuld be even bigger than the avengers. As for green lantern, he could easily get a film in between batman vs superman or introduce him in a side film or justice league movie itself and all of a sudden you have a badass justice league assembled, and ready to last.
Justice League, assemble!

Suppose you were able to drive 300 kilometers in 6.0 hours at a constant speed. a) How fast were you traveling precisely 4.0 hours into your trip? b) Where were you located precisely 4.0 hours into your trip?
Well, if you were traveling at a constant speed of 50km/hour (300km/6hrs) from start to finish, then you should be going 50km/hr four hours into your trip. In four hours, you would have traveled 200 km towards your destination.

I've been wanting to attempt these nails for a long time now. Last Friday, I had nothing planned, so I went for it.
This manicure took quite a bit of polish. I had decided to do a gradient on some nails. Speaking of gradients, I'm getting quite pleased with how much I'm improving with my gradients. I always strive for them to be seamless, and I'm getting there!
In the above picture you can see some kind of glitter on my nails. I used an awesome flake polish form Color Club called "Snow-Flakes." I notice with some butterfly wings that they have a sheen to them, and I thought this polish would be perfect for that.
Here is the finish product! I feel like my lines are a bit thicker than I wanted them, but I can fix that with a thinner brush.
If you would like a tutorial for this look, I would be more than happy to recreate this for you all!
I will leave you with a video of how these nails look in the sunlight in motion.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/130,925, filed Oct. 4, 1993, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a thermal ink jet (TIJ) printhead and method of fabrication therefor, and more particularly to an improved TIJ printhead having ink flow directing structures such as channels, reservoirs and heater pits integrally formed on the substrate of the printhead containing the selectively addressable heating elements.
In existing well known thermal ink jet printing systems, an ink jet printhead expels ink droplets on demand by the selective application of a current pulse to a thermal energy generator, usually a resistor, located in capillary-filled, parallel ink channels a predetermined distance upstream from the channel nozzles or orifices. U.S. Pat. Nos. Re. 32,572; 4,947,192; 5,010,355 and 5,075,250 to Hawkins et al. exemplify such a thermal ink jet printhead and several fabricating processes therefor. In this fabrication technique, each printhead is composed of two parts that are aligned and bonded together. One part is a substantially flat substrate which contains on the surface thereof a linear array of heating and addressing elements (heater plate), and the second part is a substrate having at least one recess anisotropically etched therein to serve as an ink supply reservoir (channel plate) when the two parts are bonded together. A linear array of parallel grooves are also formed in the second part, so that one end of the grooves communicate with the manifold or reservoir recess and the other ends are open for use as ink droplet expelling nozzles. Many printheads can be made simultaneously by producing a plurality of sets of heating element arrays with their addressing elements on a silicon wafer and by mating a second silicon wafer having a corresponding plurality of sets of channel grooves and associated manifolds therein. After the two wafers are aligned and bonded together, the mated wafers are diced into many separate printheads.
Another example of a TIJ printing system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,438,191; 4,894,664; and 5,016,024. In particular, U.S. Pat. No. 5,016,024 discloses an integral ink jet printhead that combines the separate elements of previous designs into one unit having many ink jets on one ink jet printhead, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,664 discloses a monolithic TIJ printhead having a nozzle on top of resistors constructed using a nickel-plating process, thereby eliminating adhesion and alignment problems. A further example of a TIJ printing system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,394,670; 4,392,907; 5,059,973; 5,140,345 and 5,148,193. In particular, U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,973, discloses a TIJ printhead having a main body bonded to a discharge port plate, through which the discharge port is located. Another TIJ printing system includes, the TIJ printhead disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,597, having a cavity plate, a nozzle plate and a vibration plate. Additionally an ink distribution plate may be interposed between the cavity plate and the nozzle plate. The plates are superposed on each other to form an integral body which constitutes the printhead. A further example of a method for fabricating a TIJ printing system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,915,718. The disclosed method exposes photoform glass in a two-step acid etching process to form ink chambers at a greater depth than either ink inlets or ink nozzles.
Improvements to two part thermal ink jet printheads include U.S. Pat. No. 4,638,337 to Torpey et al. that discloses an improved printhead similar to that of U.S. Pat. No. Re. 32,572 to Hawkins et al, but has each of its heating elements located in a recess (termed heater pit). The recess walls containing the heating elements prevent lateral movement of the bubbles through the nozzle and therefore the sudden release of vaporized ink to the atmosphere, known as blow-out, which causes ingestion of air and interrupts the printhead operation whenever this event occurs. In this patent, a thick film insulative layer such as polyimide, Riston� or Vacrel� is formed on the wafer containing the heating elements and patterned to provide the recesses for the heating elements, so that the thick film layer is interposed between the two wafers when they are mated together. U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,530 to Hawkins further refines the two part printhead by disclosing an improvement over the patent to Torpey et al. In this patent, further recesses (termed bypass pits) are patterned in the thick film layer to provide a flow path for the ink from the manifold to the channels by enabling the ink to flow around the closed ends of the channels, thereby eliminating the fabrication steps required to open the groove closed ends to the manifold recess. The heater plates, having the aforementioned improvements of heater pits and bypass pits formed in the thick film insulative layer covering the heater plate surface, are aligned with and bonded to the channel plate, so that each channel groove has a recessed heating element therein and a bypass pit to provide an ink passage from the ink manifold to the channel groove.
Thorough bonding between heater and channel plates is paramount to maintaining the printing efficiency, droplet size consistency, and operational reliability of an ink jet printhead. U.S. Pat. No. 4,678,529 to Drake et al. discloses a method of bonding ink jet printhead components together by spin coating or spraying a relatively thin, uniform layer of adhesive on a flexible substrate and then manually placing the flexible substrate surface with the adhesive layer against the channel wafer surface having the etched sets of channel grooves. A uniform pressure and temperature is applied to ensure adhesive contact with all coplanar surface portions and then the flexible substrate peeled away, leaving a uniformly thin coating on the channel wafer surface to be bonded to the heater wafer. A more mechanized process to place the adhesive coating on the disk with the channel wafer minimizes operator involvement and consequent variation in parameters which may introduce thickness variations in the amount of adhesive layer transferred to the channel wafers, especially in the thickness variations from wafer-to-wafer. This process is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/888,220, to Narang et al, Filed May 26, 1992.
As is well known in the art, a plurality of printheads may be formed from the mating of two separate substrates or wafers, where one contains a plurality of arrays of heating elements and the other contains a plurality of arrays of ink channels or passageways. The wafer containing the ink channels is a silicon wafer, and the channels are formed by an anisotropic etching or orientation dependent etching (ODE) process as taught by U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,131,978; 5,096,535; 5,057,853 and 5,068,006. Before bonding and subsequent dicing into individual printheads, the two wafers are aligned. The silicon channel wafer is aligned with heater wafer using an infrared alignment technique that has an alignment accuracy on the order of five microns. When wafers are misaligned, problems such as dot spread and slanted printing may occur. After wafer alignment and bonding, misdirectionality problems may occur in each printhead when small chips or fragments enter the ink channels of the wafer during dicing of the front face of the channel plate. The low alignment accuracy tends to have a cumulative affect on the alignment accuracy of TIJ devices requiring high printhead resolution (e.g. spots per inch).
Although anisotropic etching or ODE has been shown to be a high yielding process which produces very planar and highly precise channel plates, the process has lower tolerances than other process such as developable photoresist. Generally, variations in etched patterns in silicon wafers are on the order of plus or minus one micron, while photoresist provide dimensional control on the order of one fourth of a micron. Latent image formation by patterning photoresist is well known and disclosed in the following: G. Talor, A. Gutmann, "Wide Latitude Image Reversal Process for 4M and 16M Drams", Microelectronic Engineering Vol. 9, Pg. 41 (1989); W. E. Feely, "Micro-Structures", THO215-4, Pg. 13 (1988); W. E. Feely, "3-D Latent Image in an Acid Hardening Resin", SPSE Photochemistry for Imaging Summer Symposium (ISBN 0-89208-140-6) Pg. 44 (Jun. 26, 1988); W. E. Feely, J. C. Imhof, C. M. Stein, "The Role of the Latent Image in a New Dual Image, Aqueous Developable, Thermally Stable Photoresist", Polymer Engineering and Science, Vol. 26, No. 16, Pg. 1101 (1986); W. E. Feely, "Microplastic Structures", SPIE Vol. 631, Pg. 48 (1986); W. Cordes III, D. Sawoska, A. Spencer, E. Turner, "EPA 914 IR--A Positive Resist with built-in Image Reversal Capabilities for ULSI Technology", SPIE Vol. 631, Advances in Resist Technology Processing III, Pg. 245 (1986).
The wafer containing the plurality of arrays of heating elements as well as heater addressing logic is covered by a thick film insulating layer (such as a polyimide) in which heater and bypass pits are formed using photolithography. One drawback with the polyimide material is its tendency to form unwanted topographical formations, such as raised edges or lips (1-3 microns high) at photoimaged edges. When bonding both heater and channel plates together, a standoff between the two plates may be created by the raised edges, which may reduce the adhesiveness of the bond between the two plates and which may cause the formation of interchannel gaps. Polyimide topography such as raised edges are undesirable by-products resulting from photoimaged and cured heater and bypass pits on heater plates. The raised edges are polyimide topographical features that are formed at the edge of photoimaged areas that can not shrink during curing as would bulk (or centered) areas of the polyimide. Consequently raised edges may critically interfere with the proximity at which heater and channel plates are bonded together. Raised edge polyimide topographic formations are, for example, a pronounced raised edge or lip formed at the outside edge of a large mass of polyimide such as the last pit in an array of pits.
Although advances have improved the thickness uniformity of the adhesive layer which bonds ink jet printhead heater and channel plates, insufficient adhesion between bonded heater and channel plates continues to cause a host of problems affecting printhead operation. Inter-channel gaps between bonded heater and channel plates must be minimized in order to insure consistent printhead firing characteristics (e.g., avoid different drop sizes between adjacent channels).
It is object of the present invention to provide a method of fabricating a TIJ printhead that does not require dicing the front face of a channel wafer, thereby eliminating the creation of chipped debris which clogs printhead channels and causes the printhead channels to have inconsistent firing characteristics.
It is another object of the invention to provide a more reliable printhead that avoids topographical formations in thick film insulative layers which weaken the bonds between mated wafers, thereby improving adhesion between wafers and consequently improves manufacturing quality and reliability.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a method of printhead fabrication that is expandable to higher printhead resolutions and that uses alternate fabrication techniques which increase channel structure tolerances as well as the flexibility with which channel structures are formed, so as to overcome device resolution limitations imposed by the accuracy with which channel and heater plates can be aligned and fabricated.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects of the invention, and to overcome the shortcomings discussed above, an improved thermal ink jet printhead assembly is disclosed. The TIJ printhead assembly has channel structures of varying depths formed in a positive photoresist that has been coated on a lower substrate of the TIJ printhead assembly. The lower substrate has monolithically formed thereon an array of heating (e.g. active driver and resistive heater) and addressing elements. The photoresist is applied in multiple coatings to the lower substrate over the heating and addressing elements and has patterned therein ink channel structures of varying depths by exposing the photoresists through a graded mask. The channel structures include recesses which will serve as ink channels, heater pits and an ink manifold, each having different depths. The graded mask controls the depth of developed photoresist enabling a variable depth profile for the ink channels, heater pits, and ink supply manifold. The ink channels serve as ink passageways for conveying ink from the ink manifold or reservoir to the nozzles. Heater pits are disposed over the heating elements located in the channels a predetermined distance upstream from the nozzles. A glass plate with an etched ink inlet for each reservoir is bonded to the lower substrate to cover the channel structures in a manner that enables one ink inlet to communicate with a respective one of the ink manifolds or reservoirs. In an alternate embodiment, the printhead is formed without a glass plate using a negative acting positive photoresist.
Since the front face of the TIJ printhead is photolithographically defined, the printhead of the present invention has the advantage of having channel structures that are formed in a manner which does not require front face dicing of the printhead wafer as do silicon channel wafers. Additionally, the cross-sectional dimensions of the channel structures can be readily altered by either using different thicknesses of photoresist or by changing the dimension of the photopatternable mask, unlike ODE or anisotropic etching techniques. Furthermore, tolerances obtained using photolithographically defined channels structures are typically higher than ODE fabrication techniques. These higher tolerances enable the fabrication of higher resolution devices. Also, photoresist when applied in thicker coats can be expected to more readily achieve higher resolutions while maintaining high tolerances. Further advantages of using a photoresist to form channel structures instead of a channel plate exist. For example, photoresists are generally not known for generating large formations such as lips and dips formed in polyimide materials and would thus facilitate the bonding of the top plate to the printhead. Also, the edge bead problem encountered with bonding heater and channel plates with a polyimide layer therebetween is further minimized since the TIJ printhead channel structures are formed in a photoresist on the printhead and not a polyimide material.
Various of the above-mentioned and further features and advantages will be apparent from the specific apparatus and its operation described in the example(s) below, as well as the claims. Thus, a more complete understanding of the present invention can be obtained by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like index numerals indicate like parts.

FIG. 10 is another embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, an enlarged, partially shown schematic isometric view of printhead 10 incorporating the present invention is depicted. FIG. 3 presents a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 as viewed along line 3--3 taken through one ink channel 20 (shown in dashed line). Additionally, FIG. 2 shows an enlarged exploded view of a portion of the printhead shown in FIG. 1, wherein the upper substrate 31 with the ink inlet 25 and the positive photoresist layer 18 with patterned ink-directing flow structures 21 is shown. Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the front face 29 of printhead 10 contains a row of droplet emitting nozzles 27 that are placed into communication with the ink supply reservoir by capillary ink channels 20. Ink (not shown) under a slight negative pressure enters through fill hole 25 in upper substrate or glass plate 31 to fill ink reservoir 24 in a patterned photoresist layer 18 applied to the surface 30 of lower substrate or heater plate 28. Optionally, the fill hole 25 may be relatively large so that the volume of the ink contained therein may be added to that of the reservoir 24 for additional ink supply capacity. By capillary action, ink fills channels 20 by flowing from the reservoir 24 as shown by directional arrow 23. Additionally, ink at each nozzle 27 forms a meniscus, the combination of negative ink pressure and surface tension of the meniscus preventing ink from weeping out of the ink channel nozzles.
In FIG. 3, the lower electrically insulating substrate or heating element plate 28 has transducer or resistor 34, MOS transistor switch or active drivers 35, common return 37 and addressing elements or logic circuitry 36 that are produced monolithically on underglaze insulating layer 39, such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, formed on heater wafer surface 30. The heating elements 34 are covered by protective layer 17, such as tantalum, to prevent cavitational damage to the heating elements caused by collapsing vapor bubbles when printhead 10 is operating. The printhead is mounted on daughterboard 19 and electrically connected to electrodes 12 thereon by wire bonds 14 by contact pads or electrical terminals 32 which connect to the logic circuitry 36. The daughterboard provides an interface with the printer controller (not shown) and power supplies (not shown). Fabricating resistor, transducer and logic elements on a monolithic silicon integrated circuit chip is well-known as disclosed in the following U.S Pat. Nos.: 4,532,530; Re. 32,572; 4,947,192 and 5,075,250 to Hawkins et al., the pertinent parts of which are herein incorporated by reference.
In the present invention, the ink flow directing structures 21, which comprise reservoir 24 and channels 20 having nozzles 27 and heater pits 26 are formed using the process sequence depicted in FIGS. 4-7, which is less complex than the process sequence disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Patents. In the preferred embodiment, the process steps as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,075,250 and incorporated herein by reference are performed inclusively on surface 30 of heater wafer 49 shown in FIG. 4 to form the active drivers 35, logic circuitry 36, and heater resistive elements 34 until the step of depositing a thick film polyimide layer over all regions of the wafer is reached. Instead of depositing a polyimide layer, a photopatternable layer such as positive photoresist 18 is deposited. Initially, the heater wafer 49 has insulating or oxide layer 39 formed thereon as shown in FIG. 4. Subsequently, common return 37, resistor 34 with additional protective layer 17, active driver 35 and logic circuits 36 are formed using a well-known process sequence such as set forth in '2 by Hawkins et al. After cleaning wafer 49, passivation layers of SiO2 and, optionally, Si3 N4 (not shown) are deposited and patterned to expose the thermal transducers 34 and contact pads or terminals (not shown in FIG. 4) as taught by Hawkins et al. Next, multiple coatings of positive photoresist 18, such as Shipley Microposit 1375�, are applied over the passivated heaters, drivers and logic circuitry on oxide layer 39, which is deposited on surface 30 of heater wafer 49, until achieving the desired thickness of 30-35 microns. A slow heating process is used while forming the positive resist layer 18 in order to avoid the generation of bubbles produced when reactions occurring during the heating process release nitrogen gas. Gas bubbles are induced from nitrogen released within the resist layer 18 during exposure. Ideally after application, resist 18 is viscous and planar and has a uniform thickness of 30-35 microns.
FIG. 5 shows positive photoresist 18 exposed to UV (ultra violet) light 54 through graded or variable mask 55. Graded mask 55 has a combination of opaque 56, clear 57 and variable areas 58 and 59. Variable area 58 is more opaque than variable area 59 and permits a smaller percentage of UV light transmission to reach resist 18 while clear area 57 allows full transmission and opaque area 56 allows no transmission of UV light to resist 18. Consequently, graded areas 58 and 59 of mask 55 control the depth at which resist 18 is developed by UV light 54 and thereby provides resist 18 with a profile having varying depth. After resist 18 is exposed to UV light and varying profile levels are formed, wafer 49 is immersed in developer, such as KTI 809�, to develop away exposed resist and thereby form ink flow directing structures 21, each having an array of ink channels 20 nozzles 27, reservoir 24, and heater pits 26. After developing resist 18, wafer 49 is optionally baked to further set the developed pattern and to insure adequate thermal stability.
In FIG. 6, subsequent to forming ink flow directing structures integrally on heater wafer 49, glass or other insulative substrate 60 is mated with and bonded to heater wafer 49 to cover the recess reservoir 24 and channels 20. Glass substrate 60 has etched ink fill hole 25, which feeds ink to reservoir 24 from a supply of ink (not shown) under a negative pressure. In FIG. 7 bonded glass substrate 60 and heater wafer 49 are severed into a plurality of printheads (one of which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3) by a dicing blade (not shown) along dicing lines 65, 66, and 67, thereby forming individual printheads.
In an alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, two layers of negative acting positive photoresist 70, 80 are substituted for the aforementioned positive photoresist 18. The advantage of negative acting positive resist is its property of reentrant or sloping walls, which tend to prevent sharp edges. A further advantage of a negative acting positive resists is that the such resists retain the high resolution of positive resists while having the imaging properties of negative photoresist or polyimide. A negative acting positive resist, also referred to as an acid hardening resist, is produced, for example, by the addition of Cymel 303�, to a positive resist such as Shipley 1475�. Similar to the method set forth in the preferred embodiment using the positive resist 18, multiple layers of negative acting positive photoresist 70 are applied to the heater wafer 49 until a thickness of 10-20 microns is achieved. Referring to FIG. 8, a non-graded mask 81 having opaque areas 76 for the heater pits 26 and the rest of the mask 81 is clear or transparent area 77 to permit UV light 54 to pass unimpeded therethrough to form latent images of the pits 26 in the photoresist 70. The exposure to UV light causes the exposed portions to be soluble in developer. The exposed photoresist 70 is heated at 100� C. for about 10 minutes and then cooled to ambient temperature. This heating and cooling step causes a reaction which renders the exposed portion of the negative acting positive photoresist 70 to become insoluble in developer. Subsequently, a blanket exposure with UV light causes all previously unexposed regions to become soluble in developer; namely, the photoresist over the heating element. The wafer is inserted in a developer, such as KTI 809� to remove all soluble photoresist 70 (i.e., heater pits 26).
In FIG. 9, a second multilayered negative acting positive photoresist layer 80 is applied over the photoresist layer 70 and heater pits 26 to a thickness of 20-35 microns. Wafer 49 is then aligned with a graded mask 71 to form a latent image of varying profile levels, and then the negative acting positive photoresist layer 80 is exposed to UV light 54, thereby patterning a latent image of an ink flow directing structure 22 comprising ink channels 20 and ink reservoir 73 with inlet 25. The exposed negative acting positive photoresist will become insoluble in a developer, as discussed later, while the unexposed regions remain soluble in the developer. Thus, the opaque areas 76 in graded mask 71 will cause the photoresist 80 to be removed by the developer. Variable areas 78 and 79 in the graded mask permits a smaller percentage of UV light transmission to reach the photoresist 80 and control the depth of the UV light penetration into the photoresist thereby provides photoresist 80 with a profile having a varying depth. Graded or variable area 78 limits the transmission of UV light more than in area 79, so that the depth of reaction in the photo resist 80 is less under area 78 than under area 79. After creating the latent image in photoresist layer 80, the photoresist is baked at about 100� C. for around ten minutes to reduce its solubility, since exposed negative acting positive resist is rendered soluble in developer. Heating after exposure causes the exposed portion of the negative acting positive resist to react rendering it insoluble in developer. After cooling, the baked photoresist 80 is exposed to a blanket exposure of UV light in order that initially unexposed regions become soluble in developer. After photoresist 80 is blanket exposed to UV light, the wafer is immersed in developer, such as KTI 809� to develop away all soluble regions of photoresist 80 and thereby forming ink flow directing structure 22 comprising heater pits 26, ink reservoir 73, ink inlet 25, and ink channels 20. The ink channels have nozzles 27 at one end and the opposite ends connect to the ink reservoir. After developing and removing the soluble portion of the photoresist 70, 80 to form the ink flow directing structure 22, the wafer 49 is baked at 300� C.-400� C. for about 1 hour to permanently set the two developed and cured layers of photoresist 70, 80 and insure adequate thermal stability. Although the alternate embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 requires the processing of two separate layers of photoresist 70, 80, the cover plate 31 with ink inlets is eliminated, for the second photoresist layer 80 integrally provides the ink inlets 25.
Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 10, wherein a single negative acting positive photoresist layer 70 is deposited on a cover plate 60 to a thickness of 30 to 35 μm. The photoresist 70 is exposed to UV light 54 through graded mask 91 having opaque areas 76 for subsequent total removal of the photoresist, and two different areas of reduced light transmission or filtering, one reducing the passage of UV light more than the other. The least amount of light passed is through mask region 78 to produce the reservoir 73, and the region of the mask 91 which passes substantially more UV light to produce the ink channels 20 is region 79. the borders of each printhead are thus bonded by solid region 76 of the graded mask 91 and the heater pits 26 are formed by opaque region 76. The same process of UV exposure through a mask, heating, cooling, blanket exposure to UV, insertion in a developer such as KTI 809�, and final baking to set the patterned ink flow directing structure 22 is used as was described above with respect to the embodiment in FIG. 9. Inlet 25 is shown in dashed line and is either etched by use of a patterned photoresist (not shown) deposited on the surface of the cover plate 60 opposite the surface with photoresist 70 or may be drilled therethrough after the final baking step for the negative acting positive photoresist layer 70. If the cover plate 60 is transparent, the photoresist may be additionally patterned by a graded mask (not shown) through the cover plate. Negative acting positive photoresist 70 is aligned and bonded to the heater wafer 4a, (not shown) in FIG. 10. The plurality of individual printheads 10 are obtained by separating the bonded cover plate and heater wafer along cut lines 65 and 67 by, for example, a dicing operation.
The invention had been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, which are illustrative and not limiting. Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Biting Asian Ladybugs Ottawa
October 15, 2011 by staff
Biting Asian Ladybugs Ottawa, There are reports of swarms of multicolored Asian lady beetle, an insect known to bite, on the southern edge of Ottawa and making their way into more urban areas.
Carleton University entomologist Jeff Dawson said in the fall of the ladybug looks for places with stable temperatures to survive the winter.
Often hidden in the c3acks and open holes in the home. Insects also do not face threats both in their natural habitat.
"As an introduced species, they tend not to have the same predators," said Dawson, "So their numbers tend to explode at certain times of year."
The beautiful, yellowish-orange bug has been discovered in the small community of Winchester, Ont., Just south of Ottawa, Carleton University, and even a golf course south of Ottawa.
This insect has appeared in Ontario before, though. In 2001, some former Ontario wines against a plague of insects, which led to the smell of Asian lady beetles contaminate wine – ". Rancio peanut butter" aroma compared to
The Asian lady beetle was first brought to America by the U.S. government from Japan in 1988 to serve as an aggressive species of insect control.
Ladybug place corrector was also brought from Europe in the 1960s to control insects. There are even reports that foreign insects are threatening native ladybirds.
Dawson said an Asian lady beetle bite is usually a surprise to local residents who do not expect to be aggressive insects. As for the invasion, said he probably would not be permanent.
"We have no fear of invasion. Over time, the number should decrease," he said.
Dawson said the best way to remove the Asian lady beetle is by using soap and warm water, where they have gathered.

As Jordan Spieth once again holed out from a bunker in a playoff to claim a PGA Tour win, I, too, celebrated and went "black out." Of course, my black out was caused by something other than pure elation.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Annually, the Travelers is one of the Tour's most popular stops with fans and players. Maybe that reputation proceeded it this year, as names like Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy will make their first career starts at TPC River Highlands.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The United States Open is supposed to be one of the best week's of my year. Instead, it was a terrible reminder not only of how cruel playing the odds can be, but how devastatingly bad my picks have been lately. I've been shut out more than a nerd at a bar…but I digress…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Entering Sunday's play at the 117th U.S. Open at Erin Hills, eight players with no major championship wins on their resume teed off with just four shots separating them. At the end of the day, Brooks Koekpa was four clear of all of them. As the wind howled and combatants bogeyed their way around the course, Koepka kept bombing it down the middle and scrambling whenever he needed to on his way to a 6-under 66.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Place your bets! It's major championship time once again and the world's best are ready to make you some serious cash — if you heed my advice: Thomas Pieters, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler are all great plays at the 117th U.S. Open at Erin Hills…Please, blog, may I have some more?
With a sheet of headlines and prop bets longer than most golf fans and degenerate gamblers could dream of, the 117th playing of the U.S. Open already looks and feels like it could be one for the ages.

This organization has been a wonderful source of information and support for my struggle with Lyme Disease. They have helped me learn about the disease, and I have referred others to the site. The website is full of information, all up to date and very helpful. I am grateful and blessed to have met these folks, and to have them helping folks here in Michigan.
Having been involved with many non profits in many different capacities, I feel I can give a fair assessment of the MLDA. The president/director is knowledgeable, organized, energetic and caring. She goes well above what would be expected and is involved on a national level. Dollar for dollar the money raised is well spent on education and prevention of Lyme Disease. It is an excellent organization! I would highly recommend support and involvement.
I have found the MLDA to be an excellent resource to myself as a Lyme Disease victim. I have found the conferences ecspecially educational, and appreciate the fact that lay persons as well as physicians, researchers, and other professionals are highlighted, and invited. Occasionally, I am able to attend support groups which are invaluable to my mental health, as it is a chance for us to be among our peers, and encourage each other. The MLDA is deserving of any recognition it receives.

Model# XI3710A
2015 Dynacraft Prophet CB Iron - Custom Assembled
Base Price $30.95The Dynacraft Prophet CB iron is all about enhancing distance and performance featuring Flexface; a thin, special vacuum heat treated high-strength forged 17-4 stainless steel face with variable thickness to push high COR to its maximum limit. The thinner face not only increases ball speed coming off the face, but also allows for improved weight distribution for an ultra-low and deep center of gravity. This results in longer and straighter shots. The stronger lofts work in unison with today's lightweight and higher launching shafts. Proven head designs work with all skill levels of golfers looking for the utmost performance for their game. Learn More
Model# XI3723C
Acer XV Tour Blade Iron - Custom Assembled
Base Price $33.95The Acer XV Tour Blade is geared for golfers who are seeking maximum shot control or the ability to work the ball, while constructed from 304 stainless steel rivaling that nice soft, solid feel of a forged iron. These can be mixed and matched seamlessly with the Acer XV Pro to make the perfect blended set for the skilled player who may still need some help in the longer irons. Learn More
Model# XIH36871
Power Play Warp Speed Hybrid Iron - Custom Assembled
Base Price $36.95Golf Tips Magazine gave The Power Play Warp Speed Irons an Editor's Pick award in their 2013 Annual Buyer's Guide. Golf Tips said "Wow factor: A crazy low price for a set of irons as good as more, ahem, expensive irons we've tried." The Warp Speed irons were specially designed to propel the ball faster and further than ever before, featuring a high C.O.R. face for the ultimate in distance. Although distance is very important in an iron design, accuracy plays an even more prominent role and the Warp Speed delivers here as well. Progressively designed, the #3 and #4-iron possess a wider body to react much like a cross between modern day hybrids, utility or driving irons for ease of play. The #5 iron and down on into the wedges appear much like a normal iron design at first glance. However, there is actually an open space between the rear wall and the unsupported, super thin specialty face insert, which is devised to flex the face like a titanium driver to maximize ball speed and distance. The undercut channel further moves weight back away from the face as well as low for added stability. Learn More

Project Description
Jennifer Lee
What classes do you teach?
I am a sub. So I do not teach a lot. But when I do it is mostly Venus. I also teach Pilates and Sculpt.
Where were you born?
Born in Iowa. Grew up in Colorado. Moved here because I was cast in the show Jubilee! At Ballys.
How long have you been teaching at Vegas Hot?
Almost 3 years
How long have you been teaching yoga/fitness/pilates?
Yoga- almost 3 years, Fitness/Pilates- almost 2 years
What made you want to be an instructor?
Honestly it was something to do. But now I do it because we help people become better. Whether it is weight loss or mental/emotional reasons, people come to the studio to better themselves. I like being a part of that.
Other than hot fitness/yoga, how do you keep active in your daily life?
Hiking/rock hounding. I am also a cocktail server so I'm always moving.
What are your personal goals for 2016? What are your goals for your students?
Trying to be more motivated and disciplined with my own health. Trying to be a better example.
Is there anything else you would like to share with your students?
Never give up! If there is something bothering you about a posture, or something you don't understand, ask your instructor. Sometimes it's difficult to get to everyone in class to correct or give a modification to, especially if there's a lot of people in that class. We are there for a reason. The more we help our students, the more we learn as well! Teaching is a process and a forever learning experience.

Why We Don't Release Or Maintain Our Pligg Templates Anymore
Recently we have received a lot of mail's and a few comments asking if we plan to update a few of our Pligg Templates like SocialVantage and PliggBroadcast to be compatible with v1.0.0 of Pligg. Regrettably the simple answer to this question is No we do not plan any upgrades to v1.0.1 or support for our pligg templates.
Some of you may be disappointed with this announcement and to users of any of our Pligg Templates thanks for choosing to use them in the first instance. The reasoning behind us no longer releasing, upgrading or supporting our previous pligg templates is a simple one. Creating and maintaining pligg templates effectively is simply too time consuming due to the nature and number of files within Pligg's Templating system.
Even although the Pligg project has moved on slightly in development terms this year it's template structure which uses Smarty basically remains the same and contains a huge amount of files. Below is a breakdown of the number of files in the simple default Wistie template that comes supplied with the Pligg install.
Wistie Template Files
- Wistie Main Template Folder = 44 TPL Files
- sidebar_modules folder = 6 TPL Files
- Total TPL FIles = 50 TPL Files
Image Snapshot Of The Pligg Wistie Template Main Folder
As you can see to create a Pligg Template you need to work through/create at least 50 separate .tpl files and this is not including any Javascript, Images or CSS that you will create. Compared to other OpenSource systems like Drupal and WordPress Pligg is lightyears behind with it's implementation of templates and how it's template functions and hooks work.
Compare Pligg's Wistie to the default template of Drigg for Drupal which only has 8 main template files and is a far more robust system overall when it comes to developing templates.
Image Snapshot Of The Drupal Drigg Template Main Folder
Many template developers have also found Pligg a headache when it comes to template's as every update thats been released of the pligg system more often than not requires some changes to the template files. Even one of the most popular template authors CMSTheme have eventually run into problems which has all but stalled their premium pligg template business model.
Pligg's small community footprint and uptake compared to other systems means that a lot of designers will continue to overlook Pligg when it comes to designing templates, us included.

Texas DPS:
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added Robert Charles Grunsfeld, 51, to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders list, and a cash reward up to $3,000 is now being offered for information leading to his capture.
Grunsfeld removed his ankle monitor on Friday and fled from a Dallas halfway house. He is considered a sexually violent predator at high risk to reoffend. Texas Crime Stoppers tips are guaranteed to be anonymous.
Grunsfeld has family ties to the Dallas and Austin areas, and he is wanted for felony failure to comply with civil commitment requirements. His criminal history includes one conviction for aggravated sexual assault and two convictions for sexual assault.
In 2010, Grunsfeld was required to live at a Dallas halfway house to participate in the civil commitment program. On Friday evening, he intentionally cut off his ankle monitor and fled.
Grunsfeld is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs approximately 186 pounds. In addition, he has used the following aliases: Robert Charles Grumsfeld and Robert Charles Grunsfield. For more information, please see his wanted bulletin at: http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/SexOffenderDetails.aspx?id=221.
Texas Crime Stoppers, which is funded by the Governor's Criminal Justice Division, offers cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of the Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitives or sex offenders.
There are four different ways to provide anonymous tips:

With the enormous amount of posts going around the internet about people having issues with dual monitors while using Vista, I've seen nobody suggest a way to write a script that will load your settings how you like them on boot or by clicking the script file to run it.
The problem is, when using an external monitor with a laptop, the settings will not hold when you unhook your laptop and plug it back in at a later time. You have to redesignate your primary and secondary monitors and reset what programs you want to open on the 2nd monitor and so on.
Is there a way to configure these settings in a script? I know about Ultramon and would prefer to not purchase that as a solution.
This seems like a logical workaround until nVidia or Windows figures this problem out and releases a fix or updated driver to solve this.
Thanks for your help.

It also changes...
for no reason. I can go to lunch and when I log back in it will have changed. It also remembers my settings sometimes after I hook it back up the next day.

Gavagaius Quinensus
Missing link between duck and rabbit, with philosophical traits. Rumor has it that Gavagaius survived in an evolutionary pocket well into the twentieth century, in the proximity of what is now Cambridge, Massachusetts, and that the last examplar of this species is preserved stuffed in the reliquary of the Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburgh.
The name is probably of American Native origin, although of a now extinct and isolate language family. Reports from the Quine-Davidson expedition surmise that the origin of the expression is ga'-va-gai [what-you-mean?]. This is disputed by Ian Hacking ("Was there ever a radical mistranslation?", Analysis 41:4, 1981; pp. 171-5)

Wellington, Mar.12 (ANI): The Black Caps bowlers don't see anything remotely funny about facing Virender Sehwag, but the media do, reports the Waikato Times.
The Delhi destroyer provided nearly as much entertainment after last night's match as he did in his scintillating innings.
The soft spoken Sehwag opened his press conference in contrasting style to his batting.
Asked if he felt it was his best one-day innings, he prodded back with a non-committal "maybe", but pronounced himself particularly happy with his hook and pull shots that rocketed off the bat.
But, as befitting his approach, he was quickly into his stride.
Q: Do you have a psychological hold over New Zealand bowlers?
A: Yes they're worried about our opening partnership.
Sehwag described his team as "very young and talented side we can chase anything, we believe in ourselves."
Q: Do you feel sorry for the New Zealand bowlers?
A: Yes. Probably not as sorry as they're feeling, though.
Q: Will you bat like that in the tests?
A: I'll try.
That response will do wonders for ticket sales but only cause further harm for the tickers of our pace men. (ANI)
