Every Mainer's Kitchen
Remodeling a 1949 cook space in Eastport became a history lesson for both the designers and the homeowner.
- By: Virginia M. Wright
Photography by Joyce Jackson
With their unpainted wood-and-glass doors and purple bases, Pamela Hanes' kitchen cabinets had a whimsical appeal, but that didn't count for much when she opened the drawers. "None of them were squared," chuckles Hanes, who bought her antique Cape overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay in Eastport a dozen years ago. "You'd pull them open, and they'd fall out."
Besides the cabinets' operational flaws, Hanes' kitchen suffered the shortcomings you'd expect from a cook space that was last remodeled in 1949: There was far too little countertop and, considering the room's dimensions (just 12 ½-by-14 ¾ feet), far too much functionless floor and wall space. "It had its charm," observes Patrick Mealey, who with his wife, Joyce Jackson, comprises the Perry design-build team of fineartistmade, "but it was out of place with the rest of the house. Pam wanted something more in keeping with the original detailing, which is Federal period, probably 1810 or so. The original kitchen would have been free-standing furniture, but that would not be functional for a modern lifestyle. Our goal was to give her a contemporary kitchen with a traditional feel."
As the name of their business suggests, Mealey and Jackson each come to their work with an artist's eye — he is a painter of bold abstract forms; she is a fine art photographer. They cut their teeth in old home restoration and renovation by painting houses in Long Island's whaling port-turned-artists colony, Sag Harbor. Their trade has evolved to include designing and handcrafting kitchens, bathrooms, and, most recently, furniture that fuses their love of antiques and folk art with clean, contemporary lines. On their honeymoon eleven years ago, they ambled down the coast of Maine with the intention of turning inland toward Baxter State Park, but when they reached Stonington, they decided to keep heading Down East and ended up on the archipelago that is the small fishing city of Eastport. "It was love at first sight," Jackson recounts. "Eastport had potential and plenty of old homes to work on." The following year, they moved to neighboring Perry, where their 1890s American foursquare farmhouse on Boyden Lake became their first Maine restoration project.
Once one of the country's busiest ports and home to a prosperous sardine canning industry — a forgotten facet that would be uncovered during the renovation of Hanes' kitchen — Eastport has struggled economically for decades, but its nineteenth-century colonials, Cape Cods, Second Empires, and Queen Annes remind Jackson and Mealey of Sag Harbor, and they believe the city of 1,640 people has the makings for a renaissance as an artists' colony and summer retreat. They aren't alone: This Old House online calls Eastport, with its relatively affordable waterfront properties, one of the best places in the Northeast to buy an old home.
Pam Hanes' trim little Cape is a Maine classic, with white clapboard siding, a chimney on each end, and a paneled front door painted dark green and framed by sidelights. Not visible from the street is a contemporary rear living room whose abundant glass affords sweeping views of Passamaquoddy Bay and the province of New Brunswick beyond.
"The house was quite different when I first bought it, but the basic good bones were there," says Hanes, who divides her year between Maine and Colorado. "First, I ripped up a lot of old carpet and linoleum and redid the hardwood floors. Then my daughter and I removed the drop ceilings —there were drop ceilings everywhere. We pulled out anything that didn't belong."
Last summer it came time to tackle the kitchen, and Hanes followed the restoration's progress from Colorado as Mealey and Jackson blogged about it on their Web site (www.fineartistmade.com). They started by prying the cabinetry from the walls and removing fiberboard paneling, acoustic ceiling tiles, and crumbling plaster that had been held together only by wallpaper (it was a 1949 Bangor Daily News comics section stuffed into the wall for insulation that dated the kitchen). There emerged the wainscoting of a first renovation performed when the plumbing was modernized in the 1890s, and underneath that, the nearly two-hundred-year-old, hand-planed beaded baseboard and chair rail of the original kitchen. Rather than cover these artifacts yet again with the new cabinets, Mealey used them to create aprons for two large windows that had been installed about a decade ago, thus lending them a bit of the house's historic character.
To complete the look, he altered stock molding to replicate the Cape's antique trim. "Some of it is sad because when you have things that have survived so long you hate to pull them out," Mealey says. "But we're not doing a museum restoration. We're trying to make a place where someone can live her life, and our work has to be sensitive to that."
Because of a stovepipe hole and, on the floor below it, the outline of hearth, Mealey and Jackson were not surprised to find the remnants of a mantel behind the Sheetrock and paneling on the kitchen's east wall; however, the brick beehive oven, its firebox cemented shut but cast iron door intact, was unexpected. The find spurred them to reexamine their plans, but ultimately they decided a restoration was not in the cards: The space was the only logical spot for Hanes' new state-of-the-art propane range. "So," Mealey says, "we closed it back up with the pieces of the mantel in the wall. Someday if someone gets ambitious, there will be some suggestion of what to do."
Once the plumbing, wiring, lighting, and ventilation were updated, Mealey and Jackson started building the cabinets, setting up a workshop in the dining room and on the lawn, from which they occasionally were treated to the sight of whales breaching in the bay. "It's easier in terms of custom work — and all old homes are custom — to do the work onsite," Jackson explains. The room's relatively small size dictated the cabinets' simple style, and the couple resolved the previous kitchen's problem of dead space by building a cupboard around the refrigerator, taking cues for its design from the butler's pantry at the Woodlawn Museum, an 1827 estate in Ellsworth. They dealt with the slanted floors, a common symptom of house settling, by varying the height of the toe kick, an accommodation made virtually undetectable by the deep cabinets.
With pine box drawers and poplar fronts, the cabinets are painted white and topped by earth-hued Corian, which resembles smoky slate. The Empire-style walnut knobs, stained a rich, dark brown, were an inspiration that came to Jackson as she lay in bed thinking about the kitchen's details. "I'd thought oil-rubbed bronze knobs would be eye-catching with the Corian, but in the middle of the night I'm thinking, 'In this nice old house, you're going to touch those knobs and they're going to be freezing!' " Empire knobs, which survived on some of the other rooms' closets, she realized, would be a better fit.
From a shop in Connecticut, she found dark antique brass reproduction turns, also similar to those elsewhere in the house, to secure the cupboard's doors. Their circular shape echoes that of the knobs, and together they make pleasantly asymmetrical accents.
Which brings us to that forgotten piece of early Eastport: Peeling away a house's layers tends to bring out the historians in Mealey and Jackson. More often than not, they end up digging into old texts, and Internet resources like ancestry.com help them see what they can learn about the building's previous occupants. Pamela Hanes' house was no exception, not least because one of those past residents signed his name in big cursive letters on a parlor beam: George A. Burnham. Jackson's research turned up a 1919 Maine history that tells the story of Portland canned food entrepreneur George Burnham's effort to create a sardine industry with the plentiful herring of Passamaquoddy Bay — a full decade before Julius Wolff, widely regarded as the pioneer of Eastport's sardine industry, canned his first sardines in 1875. Burnham even traveled to Europe to study the French's sardine canning methods, but, "he wasn't successful," Jackson says.
"He couldn't perfect a method of drying the fish in Eastport's damp climate." Burnham eventually gave up and returned to Portland, where he and Charles Morrill started their famous cannery, best known today for B&M Baked Beans. "When you look at the local history, there is no mention of George Burnham, only Julius Wolff," Mealey says. "But it was Burnham's idea. He spawned the sardine industry in America."
Hanes was delighted to learn about her home's niche in Eastport history, but she's even more pleased that she now has a kitchen that is up to date while evoking the spirit of her old house. Not that she is a stickler for tradition: This summer Mealey and Jackson will be back to renovate her bathroom, and it will be frankly contemporary.

I don't think many people would talk clusters that deviate from the "beowulf norm" as defective. in fact, I'm not sure there really even is a beowulf norm - as they say, I know it when I see it. for instance, using cheap, whitebox commodity parts is more beowulfish than using high-end servers. HA clusters are less beowulfish. a cluster with some sort of gold-plated components (quadrics, FC san, 24" LCD on each node) would be less beowulfish. I think it would be fair to say that beowulf is a collection of techniques to harnessing many commodity computers towards a somewhat unified or consistent purpose.

maximizes f
numerically with respect to x
searches for a local maximum in f
, starting from an automatically selected point.
is in my experience about an order of magnitude faster than NMaximize
. Reading the description, I think the difference is that NMaximize
checks a smaller range of values for the maximum (presumably until the nearest point where f' == 0
on either size of the starting point), while FindMaximum
checks a wider range, in case a higher value can be found somewhere past the f' == 0
turning point. I'm not sure how NMaximize
bounds the input values it checks, if no explicit bounds are provided by the user.
Can anybody confirm or deny -- is my understanding above correct, and is there any other difference between these functions?
Thank you.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has said the Fox Glacier airplane accident that fatally injured nine people could have been avoided if a new regulation had been in effect at the time. The PM was speaking in Queenstown, and referenced the Civil Aviation Authority's new part 115 rule which specifically regulates the adventure aviation industry saying it would have ensured the crash would not happen.
"Any death is one too many,' he said. "There are risks inherent in any adventure tourism activity, and this true around the world, but I believe that if CAA's part 115 been in operation sooner, this tragic crash would not have happened.' The rule covers a new certification regime for commercial adventure aviation introduced on May 1st regulating hang-gliders, paragliders, ballooning, tandem parachute jumps, microlights and gliders. Under this new regulation operators will be audited at least every three years, whereas the previous audit system was voluntary.
The Daily Echo reports roughly 400 adventure tourism businesses fall under the regulation, and audits that have just begun will take three years to complete. Chris Coker, father of English tourist Bradley Coker, who died in the Fox Glacier plane crash, has written to Key asking for answers. Press reports had previously quoted the family saying New Zealand's adventure industry was unsafe.

I have an internet based business with no physical location and my business partners all live in different states.
I want to incorporate and was thinking about doing it in Nevada or Delaware. The state I currently reside in (Arkansas) started charging internet tax and Amazon.com refuses to allow anyone in Arkansas to be an affiliate partner because of this law, not to mention I will need to charge all customers, regardless of location, taxes.
I want to form a subchapter S corporation so that my partners will be shareholders and can pay taxes on the income their share percent earnings.
Does this sound like a good plan? I read that I would need to form it in both Nevada/Delaware and in Arkansas if I plan to do business in Arkansas. I only do business online so I am not sure if this is required or not.
I would love to incorporate in Nevada and use a mailing address there as my corporation's address and just pay state income taxes to Arkansas on what I earn from my shares. MyCorporation.com allows mail forwarding service so I think I can use that as my business address.
Is this possible? My main reason for this is to avoid the internet tax law that Arkansas put in place which is greatly hurting my business.

Programmatic Navigation in WebCenter Portal application – do processAction from Java
3Working on a WebCenter 11g Portal application, I recently ran into a challenge: when the user clicks a link in a task flow, the result of that action should be that the user is navigated to another page with a another taskflow that should display content based on context defined through the specific link that was clicked. The challenge was complicated by the fact that the taskflows had to be completely independent, of each other and of the page in which they were embedded.
The general approach with a taskflow that has a link that when clicked should result in effects outside the taskflow is to have the taskflow publish a contextual event with appropriate payload. It is then up to the page that embeds the taskflow in a region to consume and handle the event. That was the easy part.
The event handler can read the payload from the event, store values in a managed bean and navigate to the page that contains the drill-down-target-taskflow. This page has configured the input parameters for this second taskflow using EL expressions that refer to the managed bean that was populated by the event handler. Sounds straightforward, does it not?

this was our second visite at cafe tradition, again we had a great diner on a busy saturday evening. the food was amazing and off-course the service very gracious and professional.they serve home made hot rolls delicious. great wine list with very affordable wines from france,morocco,and california.the desserts are outstanding.we love this restaurant because it is very elegante and casual, and at the sametime very affordable. now we have made it our favor restaurant.if you have never try this restaurant you definitely should.
always superb, great food and service, beautiful restaurant we have been there many times and have never been disappointed. i highly recommended.
Good food and very gracious, nice people. They have put a lot into wonderful food preparation and making diners feel welcome. The pace is very relaxed--they do not rush you to turn the table. Their tangibles are very, very good. Their wine selection, although limited, are very good and pair well with the menu items. We've been there 4 times and we will keep coming back.
The service was friendly and personal. Their wine selection well chosen. For appetizers, we had the clams which were delicious. For entrees, I had the scallop pasta while my friends ordered the chicken and lamb tagines. All were appropriately sized and well flavored. The food menu had more of a Moroccan than French influence but all in all definitely worth a repeat visit with friends with discerning palettes. =)
Wonderful home-cooked Moroccan food. Just a little gem.
we had wonderful experience at this beautiful restaurant, the food is authentic from fez which I have been many times the Moroccan people call it the culinary city of morocco. great service, outstanding food , they also have great wines from morocco which is hard to found in the us. very affordable prices .I definitely recommend it. enjoy it
We visited Fassia prior to attending a lecture at the San Mateo Event Center...very convenient to the venue. Quiet, lovely restaurant with delicious Moroccan food. Hostess/server was charming and solicitous, but there should have been another of her, so service a bit slow. Food delicious and intriguing. Many varieties of tagines, Moroccan salads and Moroccan "Pinot Grigio"...quite good. I'd definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood, and would travel there if I wanted a good meal with friends in a quiet, relaxing setting.
We had the dips and the fried cheese and both were excellent. The Tajine and the lamb with couscous was great. Fork Tender lamb. Freshly baked warm bread. Great feel at home service. Please go and have a great meal here.
Food was very good. Authentic Moroccan food. The waitress was a bit disorganized but very friendly. Service was slow which is fine usually but we needed to be somewhere. There were only 4 parties to be served , 2 with 2 people, 1 with 4 & 1 with 5 who had just come in. Had to leave without our coffee.
fabulous Moroccan food especially if you want to try the real thing (cuisine from fez) the owner make you feel at home with her warm hospitality and very good service, . the food come out very well presented and very tasty because the chef owner is always in the kitchen. I love the décor and the music. they have good selection of moroccan wines. very inexpensive prices for the quality of this charming place we will definitely go back to try more of the menu dishes.
What a great new place! The Moroccan food is nicely spiced & delicious,
Seems like really authentic Moroccan food (but what do I know?), and not dumbed down for American taste, as I am afraid some San Francisco Moroccan-style restaurants may be. Our server, the owner/chef's wife is from Morocco and guided us through the menu and wine list - actually several very good wines from Morocco included. Help keep this place going strong as there are probably not a lot of Moroccans in San Mateo, but plenty of on-street parking and delicious food.
Delicious food with very interesting spices. Good wine selection and incredible desserts. For a Friday night it was not 100% booked (maybe because it is somewhat pricier). The ambience is nice but not really special, could be a little bit cozier for my taste.
Great food. The homemade rolls are wonderful. Very caring service. Will go as often as possible.
We started going to Fassia when it was a French Moroccan restaurant called Cafe Tradition. While we enjoyed the French menu items, we were always drawn to the Moroccan tagines. Now that Fassia is Moroccan only, the tagines are prominent and delicious. There were five in our group and we all chose a lamb dish (lamb with prunes, lamb with couscous). But we also each were interested in the B'Stilla Fassia, a wonderful phyllo dough pie stuffed with duck, scrambled eggs and moroccan spices. We ordered this dish as an appetizer to share so that we could still have our lamb dishes, which did not disappoint. Dinner at this restaurant is comfortable and relaxing with pleasant service.
my husband is from fez so we tryed fassia. the food was very tasty and the mild spices were well balanced.everything was beautifully presented.the B'stilla was outstanding, we had it in other restaurants it was always dry and made with chicken,this one was fluffy moist & made with duck.i had the fish tagine exquisite.we started with trio of Moroccan salad &seafood briouat, superb.everything comes with home made hot rolls.we also had very good red wine from morocco recommended by the owner .they have fabulous desserts and fresh mint tea.the service is very good and pleasant.there prices are extremely reasonable for a restaurant that as such high quality cuisine,service &decor. we were very impressed. we will go back as often as possible.

A great place to stay
I have stayed at the EconoLodge for two weeks this past year. I have to have a handicap room. My caregiver and I were there Aug. 1-8.
The room is very roomy, clean and freshly painted. They had new carpet, new bed frames and new mattresses. This year they had a microwave and a refrigerator, as well as a safe for valuables.
The handicap shower and other bathroom needs were at our command. The staff was very good to us.

All the Worlds a Stage .. but have I just got a bit part ?
Shakespeare said that .."All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players" .. and I think he had a point, although he could usefully have added that it's often not clear what play we're in or even what part we're supposed to be playing.
Naturally, we all see ourselves as having the lead role in the unfolding drama (or farce) that is our life. There may be other significant actors, of course, and extras who stroll onstage to contribute a few lines to the plot before exiting never to be seen again, but always we are center-stage under the spotlight in our own play. The story is about us. It's not quite as simple as that, though, because we're all actors in someone else's play too, with walk-on parts or starring roles.
But what happens when you find yourself in the wrong play ? The one where you think you're Juliet to someone else's Romeo but it becomes clear from their actions that you only figure in their script as a bit player ? I suppose when that realization dawns all you can do is exit stage left with the best grace you can muster, hoping none of the audience noticed your mistake.
Cloggy;—Profound but so true.
Absolutely - I love this, "we're all actors is someone else's play too."

Acoustics and Vibration Animations
Daniel A. Russell, Ph.D. Graduate Program in Acoustics The Pennsylvania State University All text and images on this page are ©2004-2011 by Daniel A. Russell and may not used in other web pages or reports without permission. |
Superposition of two opposite direction wave pulsesThe animation at right shows two Gaussian wave pulses are travelling in the same medium, one is moving to the right, the other is moving to the left. The two waves pass through each other without being disturbed, and the net displacement is the sum of the two individual displacements.It should also be mentioned that this medium is nondispersive (all frequencies travel at the same speed) since the Gaussian wave pulses do not change their shape as they propagate. If the medium was dispersive, then the waves would change their shape. Solitons are examples of nonlinear waves that do not obey the principle of superposition when they interact with each other. |
The animation at left shows how two sinusoidal waves with the same amplitude and frequency can add either destructively or constructively depending on their relative phase. (NOTE: this animation does not depict the propagation of actual waves in a medium - it only serves to illustrate the effect of changing the phase shift between two waves and the resulting constructive or destructive interference). The phase difference between the two waves increases with time so that the effects of both constructive and destructive interference may be seen. When the two individual waves are exactly in phase the result is large amplitude. When the two gray waves become exactly out of phase the sum wave is zero. |
The movie at left shows how a standing wave may be created from two travelling waves. If two sinusoidal waves having the same frequency (and wavelength) and the same amplitude are travelling in opposite directions in the same medium then, using superposition, the net displacement of the medium is the sum of the two waves. As the movie shows, when the two waves are 180° out-of-phase with each other they cancel, and when they are exactly in-phase with each other they add together. As the two waves pass through each other, the net result alternates between zero and some maximum amplitude. However, this pattern simply oscillates; it does not travel to the right or the left, and thus it is called a "standing wave".
I have placed two dots on the string, one at an antinode and one at a node. Which is which? Check out my related animation to see how standing waves may be created in a medium due to reflection of a wave from a boundary. |
In the movie at right two waves with slightly different frequencies are travelling to the right. Since the two waves are travelling in the same medium, they travel with the same speed. The resulting superposition sum wave travels in the same direction and with the same speed as the two component waves, but its local amplitude depends on whether the two individual waves have the same or opposite phase. The "beat" wave oscillates with the average frequency, and its amplitude envelope varies according to the difference frequency. |

State House Bureau
FREEPORT - Sarah Dowling and Linda Wolfe had what they call a "non-legal wedding" in Maine 16 years ago, followed by a civil union in Vermont on their fifth anniversary.
While Sarah Dowling, left, and Linda Wolfe of Freeport have taken legal and financial steps to protect themselves and their daughter, they want the right to marry.
John Ewing/Staff Photographer
Beyond those ceremonies, they have taken numerous legal and financial steps to try to protect themselves and their 11-year-old daughter, Meredith. That includes a durable power of attorney, a joint adoption, putting cars in both their names and buying domestic partner health insurance through an employer.
They haven't put their home in Freeport in Dowling's name because they would be subject to the real estate transfer tax, something married couples don't have to pay.
"It would cost us money it wouldn't cost a straight couple," said Dowling, a 54-year-old social worker in Portland.
And when it comes to health insurance, they pay extra state and federal taxes -- estimated at a couple of hundred dollars a year -- that heterosexual couples don't pay, either.
These are two reasons they and other gay and lesbian couples in Maine want the right to marry, among hundreds of state and more than 1,000 federal laws that confer rights and responsibilities on married couples.
And while the federal Defense of Marriage Act will still prevent benefits such as Social Security from reaching gay couples, even if they can marry in Maine, gay-marriage advocates say there are plenty of other reasons to let them marry.
"The biggest thing is we really feel like marriage is such a significant protection in and of itself," said Matt McTighe, campaign manager for Mainers United for Marriage.
When the campaign on Question 1 heats up this fall, Mainers will be bombarded with arguments for and against changing the definition of marriage to include gay and lesbian couples. Supporters say the word "marriage" carries a special and universally understood meaning. Opponents say there's no reason a 2004 domestic partnership registry set up by the state isn't sufficient to protect committed couples, and if it isn't, it can be expanded.
"That could be easily modified if there was some major weakness," said Bob Emrich of Protect Marriage Maine. "We don't want to alter marriage. If you want to add something else, that's a separate question."
There are hundreds of references in Maine law to marriage, spouses, husbands and wives, according to Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, a Boston-based legal rights organization. Married couples can transfer property and give each other financial gifts without paying taxes, they can file claims for wrongful death and injury of a spouse, they have an automatic right to inheritance, and they cannot be compelled to testify against each other in court, said Mary Bonauto, an attorney and civil rights project director for the group.
There are other tax implications, some which currently benefit same-sex couples -- they don't pay the marriage penalty because they aren't legally married -- and others that would reduce their tax liability if they could file jointly.
Emrich said the domestic partnership registry is sufficient to address most needs of committed couples. The couples can be same-sex or opposite sex, and by registering with the state, they qualify for seven benefits that include the right to inherit a deceased partner's property, the right to be considered next of kin when making funeral or burial arrangements, and the right to take up to 10 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a seriously ill partner or child.
Since the law went into effect, 1,732 couples have signed up, with 231 terminating the arrangement, according to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
Dowling and Wolfe, a 57-year-old nurse practitioner, said they have not registered as domestic partners with the state, because by the time it became available in 2004, they had already taken the same steps on their own.

As the final days of the climate talks in Copenhagen tick by, heads of state begin to arrive at the summit, and the energy in and around the Bella Center has reached an all-time high. Inside the Center, NGOs and possibly some delegates have walked out of talks. Outside, thousands of protestors marching for climate justice for developing countries are attempting to turn negotiations into a "people's assembly", chanting "Reclaim Power" --a term coined by the leaders of Climate Justice Action, a coalition of global climate justice groups. Police have arrested hundreds more today, and have even resorted to physical force, using batons and pepper spray to hold back crowds. Watch a full report on the protest scene from Democracy Now!
Accedited activists and NGOs, including Avaaz, Tck Tck Tck, and Friends of the Earth, have now been denied access to the conference center without stated cause, further inflaming protestors in the area, and resulting in a sit-in in the center lobby.
In other news, Conference of the Parties (COP 15) President Connie Hedegaard has resigned her position, to be replaced by Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, reportedly because of the unprecedented number of heads of state and government who have begun to arrive at the conference.
Stay tuned for more updates from Copenhagen, and in the meantime, check out this Earth Focus interview with Oxfam's Gawain Kripke who has a firm grasp on the effects of climate change on developing countries, particularly as it pertains to food security:

Thurston had originally proposed the virtual Haken conjecture in an early attempt to tackle his geometrization conjecture, which he had already proven for Haken three-manifolds. If the virtual Haken conjecture were true, so that every compact three-manifold has a Haken finite cover, it might be possible, Thurston hoped, to use the geometric structure on the cover to build a geometric structure on the original manifold.
Three decades later, well after Perelman proved the geometrization conjecture by very different means, the virtual Haken conjecture and the virtual fibering conjecture remained unsolved. These, and two other related conjectures, were the only questions left unanswered among Thurston's 23. Computer data strongly suggested that the virtual Haken conjecture was correct: from a computerized list of more than 10,000 hyperbolic three-manifolds, Thurston and Nathan Dunfield, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, had managed to find a Haken finite cover for every single one. But computational evidence is not a proof.
"When Thurston proposed it, the virtual Haken conjecture seemed like a small question, but it hung on stubbornly, shining a spotlight on how little we knew about the field," Minsky said. "It turned out that our ignorance was deep in that direction."
Building Surfaces
In 2009, the murky waters surrounding the virtual Haken conjecture started to clear.
That year, Markovic and Jeremy Kahn, then at Stony Brook University and now at Brown, announced the proof of a key step toward proving the virtual Haken conjecture. The result, which we'll call the "incompressible surface theorem," states that every compact hyperbolic three-manifold does indeed contain an incompressible surface (which possibly passes through itself instead of being embedded).
Kahn and Markovic's proof is a prime example of the interplay between three-dimensional topology and geometry: the incompressible surface theorem is a purely topological statement, but to prove it, Kahn and Markovic drew heavily on the wealth of additional structure that hyperbolic geometry provides.
To build surfaces inside a three-manifold, Kahn and Markovic used an attribute of hyperbolic shapes called "exponential mixing." This means that if you start in any little neighborhood inside your manifold, pick a direction, and imagine that your neighborhood is starting to flow along a river moving roughly in that direction, then your neighborhood will gradually spread out and wind around the three-manifold, reaching every possible location from every possible direction. What's more, it will spread out very quickly, in a precise "exponential" sense.
This mixing property is unique to hyperbolic three-manifolds and stems roughly from the fact that, unlike in Euclidean space, in hyperbolic space the "straight lines," or geodesics, curve away from each other. If you pick a small neighborhood in the hyperbolic disk and let it flow in a particular direction, the neighborhood will grow exponentially quickly. Inside a compact three-manifold, a flowing neighborhood will likewise grow exponentially quickly, but since the entire manifold has a finite extent, the neighborhood will end up winding around the manifold again and again, overlapping itself many times. Furthermore — and this is harder to prove — the neighborhood will wind around the manifold evenly, flowing through all spots in the manifold with roughly the same frequency.
Mathematicians have understood this exponential-mixing property for more than 25 years and have thoroughly analyzed the statistics of this "geodesic flow," figuring out roughly when and how often a given neighborhood will pass by a particular point as the neighborhood flows along. But until Kahn and Markovic tackled the incompressible surface theorem, mathematicians had never successfully harnessed this mixing property in the service of building topological structures in a manifold. (One other mathematician, Lewis Bowen of Texas A&M University, had previously tried to use exponential mixing to build incompressible surfaces in three-manifolds, but his work hit technical obstacles.)
To see how the exponential-mixing property helps to build topological and geometric structures, let's apply it to a simpler task than building surfaces: building a closed geodesic loop whose length is close to our favorite large number — call it R.
To build our loop, let's pick any starting point in the manifold and any starting direction, and then imagine turning on a garden hose located in a little neighborhood surrounding that point, and aimed roughly in that direction. The water droplets will stream out along geodesic paths, and as long as R is sufficiently large, the mixing of the flow means that by the time the droplets have traveled a distance R, they will have spread out fairly evenly throughout the whole manifold. In particular, at least one droplet (in fact, many) will have arrived back near the starting point and the starting direction. Then, we can simply build a little bridge connecting that droplet's geodesic to the starting point, to produce a loop that is almost perfectly geodesic and whose length is very roughly equal to R. It's not hard to show that by pulling this loop just a bit tighter in the manifold, we can produce a totally geodesic loop.

Cystic Fibrosis, Fibroids, Cyst, Fibromyalgia and the Healing Process
Tunisia I.E. Al-Salahuddin/Reiki Master Teacher
When you hear the word Fibroids you think of a clot, knot, or cyst that may be forming within the lining muscle or tissue within your body. For years this illness has been baffling patients and doctors alike. Within this paper discussion I will give a hypothesis on how to heal, eliminate or even relieve the problem of fibroids of many forms including Cystic Fibrosis common within children!
Fibro- or fibr- pref. Fiber, especially fibrous tissue: fibroma. fibre fibrocement. Latin fibra fiber and
Cysts are noncancerous, closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material.
Fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) tumors that grow from the muscle layers of the uterus (womb). They are also known as uterine fibroids. Fibroids within the uterus are very common within African American and Asian woman. Often times when woman have a fibroid tumor and after the healing process is complete scare tissue which cause keloids may occur on the soft tissue of the uterus. Now within fibromyalgia and cystic fibrosis the same affects occur, but only on the affected inner tissue. Often times what is happening is the fibers of the tissue are being extremely damaged. Uterine Fibroids Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer (Mayo Clinic, 2013). UTERUS FIBROIDS ARE THE NUMBER ONE REASON MANY WOMAN CAN NOT CONCEIVE A CHILD!
Cyst is a closed sac, having a distinct membrane and division compared to the nearby tissue. It may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst. Once formed, a cyst may sometimes resolve on its own. Whether a cyst that fails to resolve may need to be removed by surgery will depend on what type of cyst it is and where in the body it has formed. (Wikipedia, 2013).
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals (Mayo Clinic, 2013.) Fibromyalgia is the same as cystic fibrosis but only affects the joints. Small cyst like sacs form on the joints and muscle are causing pain and discomfort, and for some makes a person debilitating not being able to function properly. If un-properly cared for fibromyalgia can cause rheumatic arthritis or joint destruction.
Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that: (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 2013). Cystic Fibrosis is the same as Fibromyalgia and Uterus Fibroids, but only affects the lungs, pancreas, and kidneys of the affected person unlike with uterus fibrosis which create cyst on the uterus that can cause a woman to become infertile or fibromyalgia that cause cyst on the joint and muscle tissue. This condition can cause death within children and some adults if not treated properly!
Antibiotics People often times hear that there is no cure for this condition, but there is hope and healing. Being a African American woman that once suffered from fibroids and told that I could not produce children because of fibroids, but eventually gave birth to two lovely daughters I took on the never mind attitude when the doctor told me that I had fibroids once upon a time.
What I did to see if any changes came with the monthly use of a combination of antibiotics, probiotics, and garlic. What I found was this; the use of Bacitracin 600 units, Neomycin 10mg, and Polymyxin B 6,000 units (pill or liquid) for 2 weeks the first month and followed by 3-4 days every month after that keeps the person healthy. Probiotics-What I also found out that probiotics 2-3 times a week helps balance the body out to keep the natural flora.
Garlic Treatment for Uterus Fibroid Treatment: Often times when a woman has a flare up of the fibroids there is pain sometimes accompanied by infection. In conjunction with the antibiotic regime woman can insert 4garlic caplets (4,000 IU) into the vaginal as close as possible to the uterus for 4 nights. This relieves and eliminates possible infection and inflammation that occur with the development of the cyst. (Make sure this is done only a night before bead).
Fibroids and Cyst during Child Bearing/Labor and Delivery to Block Transmission of Bacteria from Mother to Child: Fibroids and cyst are not a virus or such a disease that can sexual transmission but during child birth the question is still raised, "Should mothers be given antibiotics during child birth if they have fibroids and cyst to prevent bacteria from spreading to the child? This is a question that doctors must answer or does cystic fibrosis come from mother to child during birth because the mother has fibroid tumors or fibromyalgia? This too is an educated guess a doctor must answer, but what may be done is for doctors to give mothers a high dose of antibiotics to mother during labor and delivery!
Blocked Energy Channels Often times fibroids and cyst can be cause by the stagnation and blockage of an energy channel within the body. Any part of the body can become blocked but once movement starts un-blockage occurs. Exercise and Conception; often times doctors will tell a mother that wants to conceive a child who has uterine tumors or fibroids to exercise to increase the energy flow through the uterus to stop stagnation from developing.
An Apple or Apple cider vinegar a day Keep the Doctor Away
That old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well when it comes to fibroids and cyst that is absolutely correct. Taking a cape full of apple cider vinegar or eating a whole apple daily helps with the natural flora and healing process within the body.
Reiki Healing
A healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. Reiki Masters use modalities often times symbols along with the gentle touching of the affected area to open up the energy channels to relieve blocked channels. Most Reiki Masters scan the body for inflammation or the affected area. This practice is also used by Pranic Healers as well whom also scan the body for affected areas within the aura! Clearing of the Chi or life force energy makes the energy flow within your body. Blockage of the Rei, Chi, Barraka or Orenda is often caused by stagnation from not moving the body or foods we eat. Find a Reiki Master or Pranic healer that you feel comfortable with and do about 1 weekly session for the first month then twice a month after that.
- the Chinese call it Chi'
- In Hebrew it is referred to as Ruach
- In India it is known as Prana
- Islamic countries call it Barraka
- the Japanese call it Ki'
- some Native Americans call it Orenda
- the Polynesians call it Mana
Exercise Vibration Machine: Use an exercise vibration machine to eliminate stagnation within the body. This machine also gives a sense of relief to a person in pain.
Faith: Have some sort of faith in something higher than yourself a Supreme Being and stand firm within your Faith and the substance of it! That is between you and your higher power!
Hypothesis (Any doctor can do their own study of this and create a stronger dose of antibiotics in conjunction with the probiotics) What I have found out is fibromyalgia, cystic fibrosis, and uterine fibroids are all part of the same family, but affect different body parts or organs within the body structure. Using a diverse regimen of antibiotics, garlic regime for the uterine fibroids, probiotics for balance, an exercise vibration machine in the morning for 20 minutes in along with exercise and then again in the evening. Reiki or pranic healing can help alleviate the affects of the condition or heal it. I would not call it a cure for a medical doctor would have to do that, but this would be considered a long term healing process for life and a healthier life.
Comments always welcome!

This is a good everyday cologne. It smells very similar to Armani Code (as mentioned in a previous review). It has a strong smell of Vanilla to it. I'd recommend it to high school guys- 2 sprays on the neck and you'll be good.

The girl loves it. I like it. Has a sort of vanilla aroma to it, more than others. Playboy Hollywood isn't my favourite cologne ever, but it's up there.

Playboy Cologne... The name had me a little worried about the strength and smell at first but after I tried it I couldn't believe how good it smelled.

The lights i have are spec d. The location of backup lights moved from middle to top is why im having a problem.
03-01-2012, 02:52 PM #4Backup at top? Ive personally never seen those...you should contact spec d and ask them. Something doesnt sound right about those.
