Intracorporeal Robotics
A promising long-term evolution of surgery relies on intracorporeal microrobotics. This book reviews the physical and methodological principles, and the scientific challenges to be tackled to design and control such robots. Three orders of magnitude will be considered, justified by the class of problems encountered and solutions implemented to manipulate objects and reach targets within the body: millimetric, sub-millimetric in the 10- 100 micrometer range, then in the 1-10 micrometer range. The most prominent devices and prototypes of the state of the art will be described to illustrate the benefit that can be expected for surgeons and patients. Future developments nanorobotics will also be discussed.

Neuro-robotics is one of the most multidisciplinary fields of the last decades, fusing information and knowledge from neuroscience, engineering and computer science. This book focuses on the results from the strategic alliance between Neuroscience and Robotics that help the scientific community to better understand the brain as well as design robotic devices and algorithms for interfacing humans and robots. The first part of the book introduces the idea of neuro-robotics, by presenting state-of-the-art bio-inspired devices. The second part of the book focuses on human-machine interfaces for performance augmentation, which can seen as augmentation of abilities of healthy subjects or assistance in case of the mobility impaired. The third part of the book focuses on the inverse problem, i.e. how we can use robotic devices that physically interact with the human body, in order (a) to understand human motor control and (b) to provide therapy to neurologically impaired people or people with disabilities.

Soft Robotics
The research areas as well as the knowledge gained for the practical use of robots are growing and expanding beyond manufacturing and industrial automation, making inroads in sectors such as health care and terrain sensing, as well as general assistive systems working in close interaction with humans. In a situation like this, it is necessary for future robot systems to become less stiff and more specialized by taking inspiration from the mechanical compliance and versatility found in natural materials and organisms. At present, a new discipline is emerging in this area, called Soft Robotics. It particularly challenges the traditional thinking of engineers, as the confluence of technologies, ranging from new materials, sensors, actuators and production techniques to new design tools, will make it possible to create new systems whose structures are almost completely made of soft materials, which bring about entirely new functions and behaviors, similar in many ways to natural systems. These Proceedings focus on four main topics: Soft Actuators and Control Soft Interactions Soft Robot Assistants: Potential and Challenges Human-centered Soft Robotics.

Cognitive Robotics
The kimono-clad android robot that recently made its debut as the new greeter at the entrance of Tokyo's Mitsukoshi department store is just one example of the rapid advancements being made in the field of robotics. Cognitive robotics is an approach to creating artificial intelligence in robots by enabling them to learn from and respond to real-world situations, as opposed to pre-programming the robot with specific responses to every conceivable stimulus. Presenting the contributions of international experts from various disciplines within the field, Cognitive Robotics provides novel material and discusses advanced approaches in the field of intelligent robotics. It explains the various aspects of the topic to provide readers with a solid foundation on the subject. This edited collection presents theoretical research in cognitive robotics. It takes a multidisciplinary approach that considers the artificial intelligence, physical, chemical, philosophical, psychological, social, cultural, and ethical aspects of this rapidly emerging field. The editor is a prominent researcher whose Lovotics research into emotional bonds with robots is widely recognized. Supplying an accessible introduction to cognitive robotics, the book considers computational intelligence for cognitive robotics based on informationally structured space. It examines how people respond to robots and what makes robots psychologically appealing to humans. The book contextualizes concepts in the history of studies on intelligence theories and includes case studies of different types of robots in action. Although ideal for robotics researchers and professionals, this book is also suitable for use as a supporting textbook in advanced robotics courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Category: Technology. ISBN: 9781482244564

Experimental Robotics
At the dawn of the new millennium, robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics is rapidly expanding into the challenges of unstructured environments. Interacting with, assi- ing, serving, and exploring with humans, the emerging robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The goal of the new series of Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) is to bring, in a timely fashion, the latest advances and developments in robotics on the basis of their significance and quality. It is our hope that the wider dissemination of research developments will stimulate more exchanges and collaborations among the research community and contribute to further advancement of this rapidly growing field. Since its inception, wanted by my STAR Co-Editor Oussama Khatib some twenty years ago, the International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER) was p- lished by Springer. Since the two past editions, ISER has found a more suitable home under STAR, together with other thematic symposia devoted to excellence in robotics research.

KAI RYSSDAL: This just in from the Marketplace Desk of Yet Another Wall Street Settlement. Some of the big brokerage houses in New York have agreed to pay regulators a combined $13 million. Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley are just a couple of the names you'll know. They were accused of manipulating auctions for corporate and municipal bonds. Marketplace's Amy Scott has the details.
AMY SCOTT: The settlement involves what are known as auction-rate bonds. These are bonds whose interest rates are reset from time to time through a blind auction process. Regulators say 15 brokerage houses abused or manipulated those auctions. Sometimes they allowed customers to submit or change a bid after the deadline. Others may have coached clients on what to bid.
ROBERT LAMB: This was a way to make possible that customers that you valued because of their ongoing business with that brokerage firm were taken care of.
That's New York University management professor Robert Lamb. Other times, regulators say brokers asked clients to bid in a specific auction to prevent it from failing for lack of interest. Joseph Fichera advised the SEC on the settlement. He declined to comment on the specifics. But he says in the late 1980s Lehman Brothers lost a pile of money when an auction failed to attract enough buyers.
JOSEPH FICHERA: They had to write off over $100 million as a result of the failures of that auction. So there was a strong incentive in this marketplace not to have a failed auction.
Some fear the relatively weak fines don't provide enough incentive to play clean. Marilyn Cohen wrote "The Bond Bible."
MARILYN COHEN: The restitution that the brokerage firms have to pay is a pittance. I mean, what a joke. That's coffee money for them.
An SEC official said these are "measured sanctions" because the firms cooperated. And the investigation's not over yet.
In New York, I'm Amy Scott for Marketplace.

Palm Coast FL (SPX) Feb 08, 2017
Lunar eclipses are enjoyable celestial events that can be seen from a wide geographic area. But we haven't experienced a total lunar blackout since September 2015, and the next one won't come until January 31, 2018. In the meantime, skygazers can enjoy a special kind of lunar eclipse taking place on Friday night, February 10th. Instead of plunging into the dark inner core of Earth's shadow (called the umbra), the Moon will pass deeply into Earth's dusky outer shadow, the penumbra.
Its northern edge will miss the umbra by only about 100 miles (160 km), or 3% of the Moon's diameter. In fact, were the Moon to slide just 27 miles (44 km) closer, the entire lunar disk would briefly lie inside the penumbra.
So a penumbral lunar eclipse is essentially a tease - but this week's will be about the best one possible. Although no portion of the Moon will become really dark, anyone who looks up when the eclipse is near its maximum will easily see the dusky penumbral shading.
Those in eastern North America (and all of South America) can observe the eclipse in its entirety. The farther west you live, however, the lower the Moon will be in the eastern sky. As seen from the Midwest, the eclipse will be at its maximum near or soon after moonrise and sunset; in the Far West, moonrise and sunset don't occur until after the eclipse has peaked. In Europe, Africa, and western Asia, the event takes place early on February 11th, with the Moon high in a dark sky.
What to Look For
The shading will begin to show on the Moon's left side. In North America, only from the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada will the Moon be well up in time to watch for this. Any haze or thin cloudiness will make seeing this early onset more difficult. With time, the dusky shading will become more prominent, and as mid-eclipse approaches, the lopsidedness of the Moon's illumination will be totally obvious. Watch the shading shift and become more concentrated toward the northern limb, the portion of the Moon that is passing closest to the umbra.
As the Moon rises higher and any remaining twilight fades down, the process runs in reverse. This is the part of the eclipse that most Americans will be able to see best. With luck, a careful observer will be able to detect a trace of shading by eye for about an hour - perhaps a little longer - after mid-eclipse. "You can even use this event to check the acuteness of your visual perception," notes S and T senior editor Kelly Beatty.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Court documents we obtained today show that former New Hanover County Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Antoine LeBlanc started visiting the CVS Pharmacy on College Rd. and 17th St. with what may have been forged requests for drugs starting in November 2012. During this time, Lt. LeBlanc was second in command of the Vice and Narcotics Division.
The indictments handed up by a grand jury Monday claim that LeBlanc turned in his first forged court order on November 5, 2012, with the fake signatures of both a judge and an assistant district attorney.
He didn't stop at the CVS again until mid November, but the documents allege that LeBlanc went three times in a week with fake requests – on November 18, 21 and 23, 2012. In early December, LeBlanc turned over more fake documents according to the court records.
Then around Christmas 2012, LeBlanc's visits became more regular. Once on Dec. 18. Again on Dec. 23. Then it became even more habitual. The grand jury documents say he went to the CVS and requested oxycodone on Dec. 26, 27 and 28, and then on New Year's Eve. LeBlanc went again the very next day New Year's Day 2013, the indictments allege. After not showing up for a couple of days, he was back requesting more drugs day after day from Jan. 4-7. The records shows he went to the CVS at least 18 times during the month of January.
In court Monday it was revealed that LeBlanc attended a rehab center in California at some point, but it's not clear when. LeBlanc did voluntarily submit to a live-in rehabilitation facility in California at some point.
His attorney, J. Michael McGuinness, said LeBlanc "completed (the) program and was placed back in the narcotics unit where he was exposed to the very types of medication that had addicted him."
Once back at work, LeBlanc got hooked again.
New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon says he and his staff did not know about LeBlanc's issues.
"Neither I nor my staff have ever had any credible information that LeBlanc attended any drug rehabilitation center," McMahon said today in a statement. "Furthermore, LeBlanc was questioned by a staff member in March of 2013, in which he adamantly denied attending any drug rehabilitation. Prior to June 2013, LeBlanc never failed a drug test. He was given and passed random tests in 2011 and in 2012 in accordance with Sheriff's Office drug policy."
While LeBlanc passed those tests before June 2013, he wasn't fired until June 11. The Sheriff's Office refuses to confirm if LeBlanc failed any drug test between June 1 and June 11.
Only five days later, Sheriff McMahon announced he was reorganizing the Vice and Narcotics Division. Lt. J. Hart was also transferred out of the division.
So far, District Attorney Ben David has had to drop 31 total counts of drug charges against nine different defendants because LeBlanc handled the cases, according to the StarNews.
LeBlanc is in jail under a $500,000 bond, but it is not clear where he is being held.

Yes, even fish butts are celebrated in this riotous tribute to backsides, rumps, tushies, keisters, heinies, and derrieres in all their resplendently ridiculous glory. Inspired by Dr. Seuss's body books (The Foot Book, etc.)—and compared favorably with them!—The Butt Book, which won the coveted Reuben Award for Book Illustration, keeps both kids and grown-ups giggling giddily with glee. Bottoms up!
The Butt Book was showered with praise. Here is just a small sampling of the reviews:
"The Butt Book is the funniest book I have ever read. I have to give the author a lot of credit for writing this hilarious book. I read the book at least twenty times, enjoying immensely the rhyming on each page. As a former kindergarten teacher, I can see how the book can be used in the classroom to teach students all about rhyming words. Every elementary classroom should have a copy of this book, so it can be used to teach kids about that important part of the human body. I love the section where the author gives the name of butts in different languages. This is simply awesome. A teacher can use that information to introduce the study of a different culture. Doing so will help expand a child's horizon and learn to appreciate people from other parts of the world. There is also the science component to this well-written book. I can only imagine what a science teacher can do to introduce information about the many species of creatures mentioned in the book. I can visualize how a child will read repeatedly this well-written book, exposing him/her or her to new words. This is what reading is all about, catching a child's attention from the start, so he or she can fall in love with reading. The illustrations by Mike Lester bring further value to this one-of-a-kind book. Bravo! Well done." —Blogcritics
"An astounding tour de force!" —The Brooklyn Paper
"The Butt Book is a hilarious rhyming tribute to our bottom end! With phrases like, 'Butts have cheeks just like our faces, though they're found in different places,' the reader and audience is sure to laugh out loud! While the topic can be inappropriate at times, this book was extremely cute, respectful, and a well-done tribute to our very useful bottom end. It explains all the things we couldn't do if we didn't have one very useful body part. The pictures will make you laugh out loud, the story line is even funnier! Everyone in our house enjoyed this book and the kids were thrilled to read it. The book is a wonderful edition to the kids library for those silly moment reads! It captures the essence of a child while being appropriate and tastefully written. It was wonderful for readers of all ages!" —A Cozy Reader's Corner
"The Butt Book is going to become the most-read thing in your house! —Tri-State Defender
"The Butt Book by Artie Bennett, illustrated by Mike Lester, is one of those books that is a delight for both the child and the parent. My first time reading the book to the boys and my wife, I could not actually get through the whole book as I was laughing too much. We had to take a break before I was able to control myself and finish what is now one of the favorite books in the house. The rhymes that Artie brings to the table are matched with artwork that is just as humorous and brings the words of Artie to life. My favorite part of the book: 'Without your butt, you're incomplete. You could not use the toilet seat.' The look on the boy's face on that page that artist Mike captures is just outstanding. Also, who ever thinks about eagle's butts? Artie and Mike do. Yes, I am sure there are parents who scoff at the use of the word 'butt' in a children's book. To them, I say, you are missing out on a book that brings so much to the table. What my kids thought: Boy C – Age 6 – 'It was funny.' Boy N – Age 4 – 'It was perfect.' Both boys felt very enthusiastic and had a pretty concise statements for The Butt Book. I would agree with them both; this was one great book." —BSC Kids
"Humorous and informative—really a pure delight." —www.firrkids.com
"Every once in a while you come across a book that you immediately call out to the kids and say, 'Come here, you have to see this book!' That's what I did when I received an email from Artie Bennett that included a PDF that said 'Butt Book.' Now, I'm sorry, but for something that says that, I'll risk downloading a virus. Okay, maybe not, but it definitely was worth it. I laughed like crazy as I read The Butt Book. I don't know how many of you own The Tooth Book by Theo. LeSieg—who knows Dr. Seuss rather well—but The Butt Book is a sillier, zanier version of that story and talks about bottoms, how handy they are to have, and many of the creatures who have them. My daughters have brought every one of their friends up to my office to read this book. It is uproariously funny, and the illustrations provided by Mike Lester are just as crazy as Bennett's rhymes. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Boys and girls will love this one!" —The Children's and Teens' Book Connection
"If you're looking for a way to lift your child's spirits, The Butt Book is the perfect antidote to a foul mood. This book has easily become one of my personal favorites and I suggest it to anyone who enjoys a bit of silly humor now and then." —Children's Book Nook
"Absolutely, positively, HILARIOUSLY good!!! Simple as that. I LOVED it. My kids LOVED it. I read it to them before they went to bed the day after I got it, and it was so FUN to not only read, but to listen to them laughing at both the story of the butts and the illustrations that followed! The reading part was so fun, because it rhymed (hello, Dr. Seuss!) and was totally catchy. I really got a bit animated when I read it to them! Totally worth the 5 stars that I am giving this book! And the illustrations . . . man, they were FANTABULOUS and went awesomely with the words Artie used. Well done, Mike Lester! If you have young kids that love a GREAT book and love a laugh-out-loud experience with eye-catching pictures, then you MUST, I repeat, MUST get a copy of Artie's book. It will be worth it as you get "behind" the story and see how catchy it is. You'll even know, by the end of the story, that snakes do not have butts . . . hmmmm . . . interesting (I say this because my oldest LOVES snakes . . . ewww!). What are you waiting on? Get that 'rear' in gear and grab a copy today!" —Book Reviews by Molly
"It's energetic, amusing, and yet largely tasteful, and the verse is reliably and rewardingly silly. Goofily drafted scratchboard figures, with a geometric regularity to the hatchwork that suggests linocuts, are tinted with softly regular shades that emphasize flesh tones and fanciful animal hues. Use this for revving up the silliness anytime, or for bringing a health and anatomy lesson to a satisfyingly comic end." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Children's author Artie Bennett has captured all-things-butt in his charming children's book, The Butt Book. As a parent, I was immediately struck by the kinetic, engaging illustrations provided by Mike Lester. But as I've learned in the past, colorful artwork alone doesn't guarantee a child's interest. Fortunately, the story in The Butt Book is just as engaging. The rhyming narrative is well-formed and sets a good rhythm for parents to follow. It delves into the who, what, and why of butts without sinking into anything close to offensive. In our field test, our twin three-year-old boys sat fascinated. They jabbed at the illustrations and laughed at the animated storytelling. They giggled together repeating the word, "Butt!" between one another. They sneak this book off the bookshelf to read it to themselves. The Butt Book reminds us what a good children's book can do–tap into a child's interest without ever seeming like it is coming from the adult world. This has quickly become one of their favorite books, and I suspect will become the same for many others." —Daddy Says
"The Butt Book is certainly funny and fantastic, and features not-at-all-naughty and surprisingly academic tribute to our often overlooked posterior. Its clever rhymes and Mike Lester's bold and beautiful images make it an instant hit! I happened to preview some of the pages online while sitting in a meeting at school. Another teacher, reading over my shoulder, burst into laughter. 'What book is that?' she asked. 'It looks hilarious!' And it is! Its euphemisms, histories, and practical purposes make it a very serious study of human anatomy, and beyond its value as a read-aloud (plan to read it again and again!), I think it has the possibility to spark some interesting extensions in reading, writing, and science. I honestly love The Butt Book as a simple read-aloud. It's one of those read-alouds that is its own reward, and it's a book that kids will eagerly read on their own again and again." —Teach with Picture Books
"The title alone is enough to make both parents and kids look twice, not to mention all the rear ends featured on the cover. The Butt Book is the sort of book that will have people giggling even before they crack it open (no pun intended). It's a celebration to the rump, the behind, the butt! Who would have thought that something so simple, so common, could be so outrageously funny and make an entire children's book? Every keister imaginable is on these pages; people, giraffes, alligators, dogs, elephants, and even fish! The tush, the heinie, the derriere—whatever you call it, it's a butt and everything has one, so why not get a great laugh out of it? Artie Bennett is the mastermind behind this rear end adventure and uses goofy rhymes coupled together with illustrations by Mike Lester. Readers may not be able to decide which is funnier; Bennett's rhymes about butts or Lester's wacky pictures of them. Not every picture is just a butt, to be sure. Occasionally readers get a glimpse of the faces of animals and people, which can be hilarious in itself because sometimes the featured creatures look startled in a comical way as if wondering just who on earth keeps staring at their behind, such as the disturbed-looking rooster on the cover or the curious joey in mama kangaroo's pouch. Some rear ends with tails and things actually happen to use them, such as a monkey holding onto a banana or a bee with a stinger. Bennett addresses these things, so it's never a dull moment on any page with a featured keister. Kids ages 5 to 7 are the intended audience for this book, though kids a little younger and even a little older are sure to get plenty of laughs out of it. Indeed, many adults will find themselves turning into kids again as they laugh and read aloud about behinds of all shapes, sizes, and talents. From curlicue tails, purple rumps, all the way to bushy ends and long tails, one never thinks about just how many rear ends there are in the world, but Bennett makes sure to inform readers of as many as possible." —Children's Book Guide
"This book is fantastic and is a sure hit for the little and big kids in your life! I had a blast reading this out loud to my daughter. Bennett's rhymes are clever and funny while the illustrations definitely serve to enhance this celebration of the under-appreciated butt. There is no doubt in my mind you can get even the most reluctant of readers to read this 'cheeky' tribute to the rear end. Although I can see some being a little uptight and put off by the subject matter, they really needn't worry. I found the book to be very age-appropriate, charming and in good taste. It actually reminded me of that Dr. Seuss book about the feet, The Foot Book, which incidentally are much more gross than butts in my humble opinion. Seriously, though, this is great stuff and a terrific read-aloud for the entire family." —Book Dads
"If you are looking for an uproariously funny picture book that would keep your young ones (particularly boys) in stitches and young girls going 'eew' 'gross' 'yuck'—or in a phrase: engage them in your reading, then this book is for you. The title alone is enough to elicit quite a few raised eyebrows from conservative aunties—and perhaps a few LOL (or ROFL) moments from the kiddies (I am trying to be IT-savvy here). Essentially, the book is a tribute to the backside—in all its form, texture, roundedness, squarishness, shades and hues. each page documents in lyrical text just how integral a part of our lives these forgotten (and largely uncommemorated) tushies are. The author goes on to explain quite pointedly what the many functions of the butt could be.What makes this book work for me is the word play, the dry wit and irreverent humor, the testing-the-waters and drowning and coming back up again to surface with even greater panache, the awesome and vibrant illustrations, and the audacity in openly celebrating something which is hardly ever talked about (with such humor and style) in children's lit. So yes, feel free to 'butt in' and celebrate with us the beauty of the backside through Artie Bennett's hilarious picture butt-book." —Gathering Books
About the Author
Artie Bennett is the executive copy editor for a children's book publisher and he writes a little on the side (but not the backside!). Artie, who would be hailed as "the Dr. Seuss of your caboose," wrote The Butt Book, his first "mature" work, which was published in 2010. The Butt Book was showered with praise and won the prestigious Reuben Award for Book Illustration. His "number two" picture book, fittingly, was entitled Poopendous! What more fertile topic could there be but poop! Poopendous! earned a bumper crop of great reviews, including this one in the Huffington Post: "For anyone who loved The Butt Book, you must immediately go and buy Artie Bennett's follow-up, Poopendous! It appears there is no topic Mr. Bennett can't make funny and educational." The Show Me Librarian weighed in with: "Bennett's use of rhyme is excellent; his stanzas flow and exude joviality in a manner that few writers since Dr. Seuss have truly mastered. Simply put, these books are a joy." His third picture book, the much-anticipated Peter Panda Melts Down!, illustrated by the virtuosic artist John Nez, published in February 2014. Artie was the youngest (at age thirteen) person to originate and sell a crossword puzzle to the New York Times. He went on to sell several dailies and two large Sunday puzzles to the Times before he began college. It's been downhill ever since. He and his wife, Leah, live deep in the bowels of Brooklyn, New York, where he spends his spare time moving his car to satisfy the rigorous demands of alternate-side-of-the-street parking and shaking his fist at his neighbors. He is pleased to share the visionary promise of The Butt Book, Poopendous!, Peter Panda Melts Down!, and Belches, Burps, and Farts—Oh My!. Visit ArtieBennett.com . . . before someone else does!

Unanswered: Search form & results in SubForm
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this database since I am quite new to Access. I have this db with a whole bunch of fields (Names, Serial numbers, Makes etc) and I would like to make a search form that will post the results in a subform.
Can someone give me a run-down and probably the logic in making it happen?
The design part is easy. The problem comes when I have to code the Search button and to write the SQL string.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: using Access 2000

This is not a lot of detail to go on ... Where is this subform? How many selection criteria do you have? From what table (or tables) are you trying to match from?
Setting up a selection form is easy. Just add buttons, checkboxes, textboxes, comboboxes, and listboxes for the search elements as appropriate ...Back to Access ... ADO is not the way to go for speed ...

I am sorry. I will try to explain it in details.
I have 4 tables (not related ---> no relations). Each is representing inventory on some kind of hardware. I want to create search forms for each of them to look into the tables for the Name, Serial Number, Make, Model, Current Owner.
I created 2 forms. 1 subform which shows the table as a datasheet and 1 main unbounded form where the search fields are. Also, I embeded the subform in the main one.
Now here is what I do not know how to do: I would like to hit the search button and the results from search in the main form to be displayed in the subform. I know I have to create a query first and then build a SQL string in the search button but I am not sure how (codewise)
Thank you for the help

Using the goal of community integration as a coherent, unifying conceptual focus, this book presents the applied research and information that readers can use as they work with the mentally retarded. Additionally, this is a book with "heart," built on the premise that the coverage is not designed simply to appeal to readers' intellect, but to their emotional and relational experience, as well.
Crane (behavioral sciences, College of Mount St. Joseph) discusses mental retardation with a focus upon community integration. Her three guiding principles are that people with mental retardation are a legitimate part of their communities; effective service delivery<-- >whether educational, medical, psychological, or related to supported employment and living<-->depends upon interdisciplinary collaboration; and a clear understanding requires a systems perspective. The 16 chapters cover understanding mental retardation, etiology and prevention, developing skills and abilities, and community life (roles, rights, and responsibilities). Annotation c.

chances are the id from the primary table is the id in the query. drop the id from the secondary table (no primary key on id) into the query and see what happens
also if you are specifying unique records, you cannot update or delete the record.

Getting Here
Just a few minutes from downtown Banff, nestled in the quiet trees of Tunnel Mountain
If heading westbound on the #1 Trans-Canada Highway (from Calgary or Canmore), take the first exit into Banff (Banff Minnewanka Loop exit), make a left off the exit and then take the first road to the left (Tunnel Mountain Road), which runs beside "Banff Rocky Mountain Resort".
If you are coming eastbound on the #1 Trans-Canada Highway (from Lake Louise), take the second exit into Banff, and then take the first left onto Tunnel Mountain Road. You will see a sign that leads to "Tunnel Mountain Campgrounds." Follow the road for about 10 minutes passing the campgrounds and we are the second hotel on the left.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived by a small patch of land. Plats is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names. They were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Plats Early Origins
Lancashire where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Plats Spelling Variations
Plats Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Plats has been spelled many different ways, including Platt, Plat, Platte, Plait, Plate, Blatt and others.

Discussion in 'Lifestyle' started by CoCo, Dec 31, 2004.
What are you all doing to celebrate the new year?
2 parties that I was invited to...
I was invited other places, but I am not in the mood to socialize...I must go to these two, however...so...yeah...how about you Cochise?
Well, I was invited by 4 separate groups to go party in NY. But that scene on the eve is a lil too much for me. That and I had to work this morning (a project ran late).
So in this state, I was invited to a party over my uncles house, myr high school mini-reunion party that we do twice a year, a party with those dangerous gay friends (those queer folks that make me seem innocent ), and a house party in DC with my other circle of gay friends (the gay mafia). Soo, I opted to hang with my real Family (the gay mafia).
...I'm sure Ferron will have plenty of pics posted in no time .
sit home. be bored. as always.
Nothing. My back is all fuxored up.
I'm home alone nursing my 4th (and last beer) half watching some kind of "adventure" movie on Fox.
(i copied and pasted this from my thread.. so forgive me for the time thingy..)
it is like 5:45ish AM(central time) .. 1/1/05.. and i just walked inside my house..
on 12/31/04.. i went to work from 4pm to 12am.. i felt so pissed off and so shitty because i thought i was gonna miss my party and all that good stuff.. during my last break which was like at 11:30.. my boss bought me a six pack of smirnoff ice-triple black ... we sat, relaxed, and talked in my car.. then we went back to work for like 5 minutes and closed down the store..
so i hurried home and changed real fast... and went to my party..
it was soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!.. i saw my old friend MIA, we went to middle school together.. i haven't seen her since the eight grade (when we moved).. and i found out that she goes to UH with me!!!!!.. .omg.. she is soooooooooooo HOT.. i kissed her, i grabbed her ass, i touched her all over.. we giggled and caught up on old times.. and for the rest of the night, i danced, i drank, i smoked... with parents, with cousins, with other relatives, with other friends..and most of all.. i flirted
this has been the BEST new year's party ever... for me
i hope everyone else had as much fun as i did
took a nap, then went to a new years party at my friend's place. not much to say about that. now I'm sitting at home workin on my new years resolution. I intend to get the guts to actually talk to guys this year. I think I'm gonna start by seeing if this hot waiter who was giving me some signals a few months ago, still works at the same restaurant. wish me luck
was the DD for my group of friends. We went to the bar and i ended up being the sluttiest one. Some girls started dancing with me and took off my clothes on the dancefloor so i was shirtless for awhile for the first time ever... ugh. they were rubbing ice cubes and their nails all over my chest.
The drunker people got, the more rowdy it got, and the place was PACKED! My ass and crotch have never been grabbed so many times. Highlights include
- the two boys dancing and making out with eachtoher who kept following me around on the dancefloor
- dancing with the boy who came up to me, and then getting a dirty look from his friend who then took off his shirt and "stole" the guy away from me, hehe, oh well, i went back to the girls
- seeing my friend from high school, he was the first person i came out to and vice versa so it was good times.
At about 130am, the club closed and we had enough and i drove my drunk ass friends home. From getting off the freeway to my friend's place, my friend in the passenger seat had his door open and he was puking the whole way down the road. heheh.
I worked. 10pm to 7 this morning.
On the bright side, if one exists, because I worked last night Ill have too many hours on my schedule so I work tonight and have a three day weekend. I go back for two days and my new schedule goes active, fri and sat off.
I went to the party to which CoCo was referring and had a blast, even though I worked that day and had to leave at 9am to go to work this morning.
Me too was at said party. Enough said
This new years was spent at a friends house playing anchor man [a drinking game] afterwards, we went to playing ten fingers. Some random chick said "who has slept with the same sex" and a couple of us put fingers down. The odd thing was that one of my friends put his finger down. We talked for a few and found out that he has been in an on and off relationship for two years. That was a shocker.
Any who, ended up in another drinking game, playing strip poker, skinny dipping and passed out around 3am'ish.
...we are saying too little about this party.
Yes. Yes we are.
...you need to post it.

Author's Notes: I know this isn't the update that you probably wanted, but this idea came to me a few days ago, and I just felt this overwhelming need to write it down. Hopefully, if I can get my act together, the last chapter of Laying Claim will be up by this weekend. I'm pretty far into the chapter, so there's a good chance. Now, about this one shot: I adore Itachi, always have. True, at some point I thought he was cold and heartless, but then he just kind of gets under your skin in a good way. After I found out about the Massacre, then I knew I liked him even more. It's really sad that we've been taught to hate him, when he is actually very noble. He's a good guy in the end, and that really hit me right here, you know?
Title: My Brother's Keeper
Rating: T (or PG-13)
Summary: Everything I've done has been for you, Sasuke.
Pairings: None
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from Naruto manga chapters 139–149 and 384–404. You have been warned.
I walk towards your shivering body, backing you into the only wall left standing. You're afraid of me, I can tell. I've always been able to read you like an open book, Sasuke, even though you try to hide behind an emotionless façade. You look so vulnerable that it hurts. Only I have a miniscule amount of chakra left…chakra that you have no idea what I'm going to do with.
I'm dying. The blood coming from my mouth is not from an injury that you have given me. No, I've known for a long time that my health was rapidly declining. It's why I sought you out, so you could kill me and get the victory you so desired before Mother Nature could kill me herself. Not to say I didn't deserve this painful death, with my lungs on fire and my blood feeling like it had to force its way through my veins.
The cold look you've been giving me is deserved as well. I killed all of them—even Mother and Father—for reasons that I hope you'll never know. You should never have to know that the man you adored and revered was about to commit genocide far worse than what I could have ever done. You'll never know that I only just managed to spare your life by getting down on my hands and knees in front of the Hokage, begging for your safety. Killing my clan was going to be hard enough, but killing my brother?
You were so little then. I wish I could have told you so much, but you weren't able to understand the things I had to go through. You were so innocent that I couldn't bear you finding out that by thirteen I had killed more people than I could count, and I had managed to do it without feeling a thing. You hated that you weren't at my level when I was your age, but it was something I blessed. No one, prodigy or not, should ever have to kill a man at age eight. I know I monopolized father's attention and sometimes, not always, I did it on purpose. You started to get significantly better after he paid attention to you and taught you the Uchiha's jutsus. I was scared—terrified!—that if he saw the same potential and ambition that I saw in you, he would push you the same he did as me, and the childhood that I fought for you to keep would be over in a heartbeat.
Of course, the fate of your childhood was decided when I was summoned by the Hokage and three members of the Council. I had already been acting as a spy for the Hokage for some time, working as a double agent for the Uchiha family. You never knew about the Uchiha meetings on overthrowing Konoha, because I always made sure you were fast asleep in bed while they went on. You used to have this habit of getting up in the middle of the night to eavesdrop, and then I, the "big bad brother," would send you right back to bed. You used to come up with the funniest excuses why you were up in the middle of the night (the most memorable being that you heard a dying cat from the direction of the living room) which used to make me smile, and often times those moments with you were the best part of my day. You used to pout at me before getting under the covers grumpily. I stayed outside your room until I felt your minimal chakra even out in sleep, and it was only then that I rejoined the meetings, often getting scolded by Father for my absence.
I cried the night of the massacre, the betrayed look in your eyes ripping into my soul. I still remember how you looked at me. I still woke from nightmares of a tearful, "Why, brother?" echoing in my head. And then I made up that stupid lie…how you should hate me. I did want you to become stronger, but not like that. Never like that.
It was necessary, though. I knew that revenge would be on your mind, and you would have to be stronger in order to beat me. It's what I wanted, too, since I felt it would give you some peace. But, even though I fully planned on losing that fight, you had to defeat me with both of us using all of our strength. If I went easy on you during that fight, you would suspect something, and there was no way I was going to risk you finding out the truth. That had also been a good opportunity to tell you about the Uchiha's secret meeting room, where you could read up on the secrets of the Sharingan and how to utilize it to its full potential.
It was a great relief to me when you were put on Hatake Kakashi's team. I'd worked with him and he was more than competent, not to mention he possessed the Sharingan, so I knew he would be a good teacher for you. His quirks would soothe the hate you'd built, and I had hoped that he and your teammates would show you that you could still live somewhat normally, getting stronger to defeat me without hating your life every minute, like you should have all along. I don't think you realize how proud I was when I heard you'd finally earned the Sharingan in battle, or when you fought your way into the final matches of the Chuunin Exams.
I was anxious in those days, since Orochimaru had begun to move again. There were whispers of an attack on Konoha, but those were merely dismissed as rumors. I knew Konoha to be full of competent shinobi, so I thought you had been safe. My worst fears were confirmed when they told me of your Curse Seal. I nearly wrung the neck of the messenger who relayed the information to me, only managing to hold back to keep up my stoic reputation. That bastard was trying to get to me through you, and damn if it wasn't working. No one ever remembers seeing me as violent as I was in the next few days after I'd heard…I nearly slaughtered anyone who spoke to me in anger. I would get Orochimaru, I vowed.
He crossed the line when he killed the Sandaime, the only person who had allowed your life to be spared the night of the Massacre. The other three who knew the truth would have zero problems killing you and making it look like an accident. That was why, as soon as I heard, I informed Kisame we were leaving for Konoha. He didn't ask me any questions about it, but I knew he was quite curious. That was the first time I would return home in five years. I had to warn the three Councilmen that I was still a threat to them should do anything to you. I had to relay that I had no qualms about marching into the village that considered me an enemy, just so they would know that I wasn't the least bit hesitant about killing them should the need arise.
The familiar skyline pulled something in my chest, but I had a mission to accomplish. I told Kurenai-sensei and Asuma-sensei that I was looking for something, about to head off on my own and indirectly ordering Kisame not to kill anyone. It was then that Kakashi appeared, and it was then that I assessed how worthy he was to protect you. I knew of his skills and that, like me, he had grown in shinobi ranks at a young age, and was one of the most accomplished shinobi in the village. I had to make sure he knew how strong you needed to become to defeat me, Sasuke, even to the point of intentionally dropping the hint that it was only you who could defeat me because of our shared bloodline.
Admittedly, I punished the famed Copy-Cat Ninja on purpose by sucking him into my Tsukuyomi. If he couldn't even scratch me, how was he supposed to protect you from Orochimaru? I had put my trust in him to keep you safe until you were strong enough to protect yourself, and he was failing me. I forced him to see the results of his failure, not regretting sending him into the red and black inverted hell.
He was sharp though, deducing that I had gone to Konoha for you. I made up a lie, of course, about killing the next Hokage. For some odd reason, they never questioned me, which I was again disappointed in Kakashi for. What reason did I have to kill the Fifth Hokage?
I chased Jiraiya-sama and the son of the Fourth, knowing word would get to you that I was here and you would make sure to find me. You didn't fail me, and it wasn't long before I faced you. You had grown so much in five years, that being the first time I had really seen you. You were looking more like Mother as you grew, your features softer, your eyes richer with emotion, your hair just as unruly as it had always been. However, I saw the crazed hate in your eyes, which I had expected but hated all the same. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. We were supposed to grow up in brotherly competition, as each other's best friends, not trying to see who could kill the other first. Of course I could hardly blame you for your hatred, I suppose. I was hard on you that night for a reason, showing you the deaths of everyone you loved with the Mangekyou and telling you that you simply weren't worth killing. I had to get you to really hate me, to reinforce that I was the bad guy and had to be stopped. By the way you looked at me, I could tell I succeeded.
Your chidori was impressive, and I was satisfied that you were coming to master at least a few upper level techniques by this point. However, it wasn't enough. You were going to have to become stronger to defeat me. I drove that point home by grabbing your wrist, every ounce of me recoiling in horror feeling your bones snap in my hand. It was the first time in five years that I had truly felt like a monster.
I watched your Curse Seal unravel as you attacked me again. I felt little remorse as I knocked the wind out of you, because how dare you rely on Orochimaru's power like that? I had to teach you to be independent of him. Even then I was thinking about ways to undo the Seal on your neck, but I never actually discovered how to accomplish that until three years later. I loathed telling you to hate me even more, but I knew it was necessary. You needed to find it in you to kill your older brother, and if you saw me like I saw you, then my death was never going to happen.
When word reached me that you had flown to Orochimaru, I was furious with you. You had everything in Konoha. Good teachers, good friends, a much better life than I had ever been given. You had been happy there, steadily growing in the most honest way that a boy of your age should. And then you had sought out my personal enemy for help, something I'm sure Orochimaru had rejoiced in. He would teach you to become stronger, but his lessons would be dark and would also teach you to let go of anything human. I didn't want you to turn into me. Your emotions are your most powerful asset, Sasuke. I could have told you first hand how terrible it is to cease feeling…to numb yourself to a point where you could slaughter entire towns and feel very little in the process.
Over the next two years, I warred with myself. I knew of Orochimaru's intentions for you, that he would take your body to preserve his own youth. He would do it for power…and to spit in my face that he also possessed a Sharingan. I was conflicted, not wanting that to happen. Would I kill you if you allowed him to take your body? Could I do that to save you? It took me many a sleepless night to convince myself to trust you. I told myself that you would never allow him to control your body if it meant he could possibly sidetrack you from your mission to kill me.
It was two and a half years later that I found out you killed him, and I let out a relieved sigh in the privacy of my own bedroom. You were safe and that's all that mattered.
Only a few months before that, I learned how sick I was. It unnerved me that my own body was killing me. I hid it well from everyone in Akatsuki except for Madara. He knew, though how is still a mystery. I woke coughing blood, and realized that I would have to seek you out, since you were having such trouble finding me on your own. Don't worry, Sasuke, I had fully intended on allowing you to kill me before the illness did.
I showed you the stakes, that I could take your eyes to keep myself from becoming blind, but in that was an offering. I wanted you to take my eyes after I was gone, so you could destroy the army that Madara was building to conquer the world. I still wanted to believe there was some sense of justice in you…that you would never allow forces to decimate the village where you had grown up and where your precious people had lived. There were people who still loved you there, I want to tell you, if you would only go back. I sacrificed my freedom for your sake. You should be able to go back there…as the hero who avenged his family. But, in your eyes, I saw that you had no idea what came after this fight. You had lived for this moment alone, not giving a single thought as to what would come afterwards.
Your skills had me impressed. You saw through all of my genjutsu, matched me blow for blow every time, even nearly giving me a heart attack when I thought I'd accidentally killed you with Amaterasu. I pushed you, though, for one purpose. It was when you were exhausted that I pushed again, and then your body heaved as the Curse Seal activated and Orochimaru came from your neck. With Susano'o, he was easy enough to kill, and when I saw that the Seal was gone from your neck, I knew it was okay for me to die.
It was selfish of me to want to take your revenge away from you, to tell you everything so that we could act as brothers once more. But…I could never take away your happiness like that. For your sake, you had to kill me.
And you never fail to deliver.
I walk towards you, my darling baby brother, feeling the light giving out in my world. You had won. I had more chakra left than you, but it would not be used to kill you. This was the very last thing I could do to keep you safe…make sure that Madara never told you about me. The truth would kill you, I know. If you only knew how much I love you, then I know you would regret killing me, and it is no longer my wish to cause you anymore pain. I want you to be happy now. In fact, it is my dearest wish for you.
You're scared, I can tell. It calms me a moment, easing the pain a little as I know you still have some mark of humanity left in you. I was glad to know that your time hating me hasn't made you completely numb. You still feel very strongly. You can still live after this, really live as more than a shell of a human being. You can go and rebuild the Uchiha Clan like the saints you always imagined them to be, loving your children and showing them all the attention you wished Father had shown you.
You look so vulnerable that it hurts. I want to wrap you in my arms and tell you that I'm sorry for everything you've had to go through because of me. I want to tell you how much you've always meant to me, that I wish I could have been a better brother, even that I wish that I'd helped you with your shuriken practice more. But I can't do any of those things. You have to hate me for your peace of mind.
Only I have a miniscule amount of chakra left…chakra that you think I'm about to kill you with. However, if you could see inside my head you would know that killing you is the most horrific thing that I could do. Giving you a defense against Madara is the only thing I can do for you now, my very last gesture as your older brother.
Two of my fingers extend towards you, and you look at me with the same expression you did when you were five and woke up from a nightmare. You used to come to me to console you, waking me up from a deep sleep just so I could tell you it was going to be okay again. You saw me as your protector then, because between Father and I, I was the only one who wasn't going to tell you to man up and get over it. Now, if I have my way, you'll never know exactly how much of a protector I've been, or that I've thought about you every step of the way. You have guided me through everything I've done, even before the Massacre.
Everything I've done has been for you, foolish little brother.
My fingers press to your forehead like I used to do when we were younger. I'm sorry, I want the gesture to say. Maybe next time.
I feel the last of my chakra leave me as I transfer my eye techniques to you. I fall to the ground in hopes that you'll never know how much I love you.
Author's Notes: Ah, Itachi's final moments. I wondered what he was thinking then, even when we didn't know he was the good guy all along. Hope you enjoyed it, please review and let me know what you thought.

First Flight NewsTextron AirLand Scorpion
On 12 December 2013, Textron AirLand announced that the Scorpion completed its first flight at 10:30 AM Central Time.
Der leichte Kampfjet Scorpion hob am 12. Dezember 2013 um 9.05 Uhr auf der McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita zum Erstflug ab (Foto: Textron Air Land).
"Today's first flight is a major milestone for the Scorpion as the program transitions into the flight test phase"
The aircraft took off from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas and conducted a range of handling maneuvers for approximately 1.4 hours of flight. Today's flight marks one of the fastest developments of a U.S.-built tactical jet, progressing from initial design to first flight in less than 24 months.
"Today's first flight is a major milestone for the Scorpion as the program transitions into the flight test phase," commented Textron CEO Scott Donnelly. "When the design phase began less than two years ago, we were confident that we would deliver a uniquely affordable, versatile tactical aircraft by taking advantage of commercial aviation technologies and best practices. Today's flight met all expectations, and keeps us on track towards certification and production," he added.
Scorpion's first flight was crewed by pilot Dan Hinson, an engineering test pilot with over 5,000 flight hours in 79 different types of aircraft, and co-pilot David Sitz. "The flight was completed according to plan," said Hinson. "Having flown many tactical aircraft throughout my 23-year career with the US Navy and with other aircraft manufacturers, I can say that the Scorpion compares very favorably to more costly aircraft currently used for low-threat missions. It showed impressive stability and responsiveness closely matching all of the predicted parameters for today's maneuvers – it's going to be a highly capable aircraft for the ISR and homeland security mission set."
The Scorpion was announced in September 2013 as a demonstration aircraft designed to accommodate the budget constraints and shifting mission requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. partner nations. Powered by twin turbofan engines generating 8,000 lbs. of thrust, the Scorpion transitions easily between low speed and high-subsonic speed, as needed for diverse missions such as irregular warfare, border patrol, maritime surveillance, emergency relief, counter-narcotics and air defense operations.
The Scorpion has a cruising speed of up to 450 ktas (517 mph), with a ferry range of 2,400 nautical miles. The aircraft carries an internal payload of up to 3,000 lbs., as well as wing-mounted precision munitions.

text: I love the changes to premium status (and all related stuff). Now it looks more attractive and I find myself sexy with it and orange/golden name color B) The badge looks better than the previous one and it give us a new look and a pleasure to have a different badge color. I saw that every related things changed to the proper status like "premium" to "gold" (left side of image host) and like the previous group name. I like the new gold gifter award and it's nice for who gifted the previous premium status ^_^ Surely, I prefered the V.I.P instead of Gold but it's really nice like that! Maybe Lifetime can be V.I.P in the future? :santa2: In conclusion, You did a great job and I hope to be present when new change will come!
