Normal liver vs. liver cirrhosis |
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcohol abuse. The liver carries out several essential functions, including detoxifying harmful substances in your body, cleaning your blood and making vital nutrients.
Cirrhosis occurs in response to damage to your liver over many years. The liver damage done by cirrhosis can't be undone. But if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early and the cause treated, further damage can be limited. As cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to function. Advanced cirrhosis can be life-threatening.
Cirrhosis often has no signs or symptoms until liver damage is extensive. When signs and symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Fatigue
- Bleeding easily
- Bruising easily
- Itchy skin
- Yellow discoloration in the skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Fluid accumulation in your abdomen (ascites)
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Swelling in your legs
- Weight loss
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent signs or symptoms of cirrhosis.
The liver | |
Normal liver vs. liver cirrhosis |
Cirrhosis is caused by scar tissue that forms in your liver in response to damage occurring over many years. Each time your liver is injured, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As the scar tissue builds up, liver function worsens. In advanced cirrhosis, the liver no longer works very well.
It's important to determine the cause of cirrhosis because treating that underlying cause can help prevent further liver damage. A wide range of diseases and conditions can damage the liver and lead to cirrhosis, including:
- Chronic alcohol abuse
- Hepatitis C
- Hepatitis B
- Fat accumulating in the liver (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease)
- Destruction of the bile ducts (primary biliary cirrhosis)
- Hardening and scarring of the bile ducts (primary sclerosing cholangitis)
- Iron buildup in the body (hemochromatosis)
- Liver disease caused by your body's immune system (autoimmune hepatitis)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Copper accumulated in the liver (Wilson's disease)
- Infection by a parasite common in developing countries (schistosomiasis)
- Poorly formed bile ducts (biliary atresia)
- Inherited disorders of sugar metabolism (galactosemia, glycogen storage disease)
Some people may have more than one cause for cirrhosis, such as alcohol abuse and viral hepatitis. Up to 20 percent of people with cirrhosis don't have an identifiable cause for the condition (cryptogenic cirrhosis).
Complications of cirrhosis can include:
- High blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). Cirrhosis slows the normal flow of blood through the liver, increasing pressure in the vein that brings blood from the intestines and spleen to the liver.
- Swelling in the legs and abdomen. Portal hypertension can cause fluid to accumulate in the legs (edema) and in the abdomen (ascites). Edema and ascites also may result from the inability of the liver to make certain blood proteins.
- Infections. If you have cirrhosis, your body may have difficulty fighting infections. Ascites can lead to bacterial peritonitis, a serious infection.
- Bleeding. Portal hypertension can cause blood to be redirected to smaller veins. Strained by the extra load, these smaller veins can burst, causing serious bleeding. High blood pressure also may enlarge veins and lead to life-threatening bleeding in the esophagus (esophageal varices) or the stomach (gastric varices).
- Malnutrition. Cirrhosis may make it more difficult for your body to process nutrients, leading to weakness and weight loss.
- High levels of toxins in the blood (hepatic encephalopathy). A liver damaged by cirrhosis isn't able to clear toxins from the blood as well as a healthy liver can. Toxins in the blood can cause mental confusion and difficulty concentrating. With time, hepatic encephalopathy can progress to unresponsiveness or coma.
- Jaundice. Jaundice occurs when the diseased liver doesn't remove enough bilirubin, a blood waste product, from your blood. Jaundice causes yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, and darkening of urine.
- Increased risk of liver cancer.
Preparing for your appointment
If you have cirrhosis, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the digestive system (gastroenterologist) or the liver (hepatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions, such as diet restrictions on the day before your appointment.
- Write down your symptoms, including when they started and how they may have changed or worsened over time.
- Take a list of all your medications, as well as any vitamins or supplements.
- Write down your key medical information, including other diagnosed conditions.
- Bring results of medical tests done so far, including digital copies of CT, MRI or ultrasound images and biopsy slides if a liver biopsy has been done.
- Write down key personal information, including any recent changes or stressors in your life.
- Take a family member or friend along to help you remember things.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Questions to ask your doctor
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What is most likely causing my cirrhosis?
- Is there a way to slow or stop my liver damage?
- What are my treatment options?
- How can I protect my liver from further damage?
- Are there medications that can hurt my liver?
- What signs and symptoms of complications should I watch for?
- I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
Don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Be prepared to answer questions your doctor is likely to ask, including:
- When did you first begin experiencing symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
- How severe are your symptoms?
- What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?
- What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?
- How often do you drink alcohol?
- Have you been exposed to or taken toxic drugs?
- Do you have a family history of liver disease, hemochromatosis or obesity?
Tests and diagnosis
Liver biopsy |
People with early-stage cirrhosis of the liver usually don't have symptoms. Often, cirrhosis is first detected through a routine blood test or checkup.
Tests and procedures used to diagnose cirrhosis include:
- Liver function tests. Your blood is checked for excess bilirubin and certain enzymes that may indicate liver damage.
- Magnetic resonance elastography. This noninvasive advanced imaging test, developed at Mayo Clinic, detects hardening of the liver.
- Other imaging tests. MRI, CT and ultrasound can image the liver.
- Biopsy. A tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken to identify the severity, extent and cause of liver damage.
If you have cirrhosis, your doctor is likely to recommend regular diagnostic tests to monitor for signs of disease progression or complications, especially esophageal varices and liver cancer.
Treatments and drugs
Treatment for cirrhosis depends on the cause and extent of your liver damage. The goals of treatment are to slow the progression of scar tissue in the liver and to prevent or treat symptoms and complications of cirrhosis. Hospitalization may be necessary for severe liver damage.
Treatment for the underlying cause of cirrhosis
In early cirrhosis, it may be possible to minimize damage to the liver by treating the underlying cause. The options include:
- Treatment for alcohol dependency. People with cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse need to stop drinking. If stopping alcohol use is difficult, your doctor may recommend a treatment program for alcohol addiction.
- Weight loss. People with cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease need to lose weight and control their blood sugar levels.
- Medications to control hepatitis. Medications may control damage to liver cells caused by hepatitis B or C.
- Medications to control other causes and symptoms of cirrhosis. Medications may slow the progression of certain types of liver cirrhosis. For example, people with primary biliary cirrhosis that is diagnosed and treated early may never experience symptoms.
Other medications can relieve symptoms such as itching, fatigue and pain. Nutritional supplements may be prescribed to counter malnutrition associated with cirrhosis and to prevent osteoporosis (weak bones).
Treatment for complications of cirrhosis
Your doctor will work to treat any complications of cirrhosis, including:
- Excess fluid in your body. Edema or ascites may be managed with a low-sodium diet and medication to prevent fluid buildup in the body. More severe fluid buildup may require procedures to drain the fluid or surgery to relieve pressure.
- Increased blood pressure. Blood pressure medications may control portal hypertension and prevent severe bleeding. If you develop varices, you may need a procedure (band ligation) to stop the bleeding and medication to help prevent future bleeding. In severe cases, a small tube (stent) may be placed in your veins to reduce blood pressure in your liver.
- Infections. You may receive antibiotics or other treatments for infections. Your doctor also is likely to recommend vaccinations for influenza, pneumonia and hepatitis.
- Increased liver cancer risk. Your doctor will likely recommend periodic blood tests and ultrasound exams to look for signs of liver cancer.
- Hepatic encephalopathy. Medications can be prescribed to help reduce the buildup of toxins in your blood due to poor liver function.
Liver transplant surgery
In advanced cases of cirrhosis, when the liver ceases to function, a liver transplant may be the only treatment option. A liver transplant is a procedure to replace your liver with a healthy liver from a deceased donor or with part of a liver from a living donor. Cirrhosis is the most common reason for a liver transplant.
Extensive testing is needed before a liver transplant to ensure that a candidate is in good enough health to have the transplant operation. Additionally, transplant centers typically require some period of abstinence from alcohol, often at least six months, before transplantation for people with alcohol-related liver disease.
Lifestyle and home remedies
If you have cirrhosis, take precautions to limit additional liver damage:
- Don't drink alcohol. Whether your cirrhosis was caused by chronic alcohol use or another disease, avoid alcohol. Drinking alcohol may cause further liver damage.
- Eat a low-sodium diet. Excess salt can cause your body to retain fluids, worsening swelling in your abdomen and legs. Use herbs for seasoning your food, rather than salt. Choose prepared foods that are low in sodium.
- Eat a healthy diet. People with cirrhosis can experience malnutrition. Combat this with a healthy plant-based diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables. Choose lean protein, such as legumes, poultry or fish. Avoid raw seafood.
- Avoid infections. Cirrhosis makes it more difficult for you to fight off infections. Protect yourself by avoiding people who are sick and washing your hands frequently. Get vaccinated for hepatitis A and B, influenza, and pneumonia.
- Use over-the-counter medications carefully. Cirrhosis makes it more difficult for your liver to process drugs. For this reason, ask your doctor before taking any medications, including nonprescription drugs. Avoid drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB). If you have liver damage, your doctor may recommend acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) in low doses for pain relief.
Alternative medicine
A number of alternative medicines, notably milk thistle (silymarin) and licorice root (glycyrrhizin) have been used to treat liver diseases. There is not sufficient evidence of benefit from trials in patients to recommend use of these or any other herbal products to treat liver cirrhosis. Talk with your doctor if you're interested in trying alternative medicine to help you cope with cirrhosis.
Reduce your risk of cirrhosis by taking care of your liver:
- Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men over than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.
- Eat a healthy diet. Choose a plant-based diet that's full of fruits and vegetables. Select whole grains and lean sources of protein. Reduce the amount of fatty and fried foods you eat.
- Maintain a healthy weight. An excess amount of body fat can damage your liver. Talk to your doctor about a weight-loss plan if you are obese or overweight.
- Reduce your risk of hepatitis. Sharing needles and having unprotected sex can increase your risk of hepatitis B and C. Ask your doctor about hepatitis vaccinations.
If you're concerned about your risk of liver cirrhosis, talk to your doctor about ways you can reduce your risk.

Regardless of how busy you are with holiday parties and shopping, the local concert calendar is just as busy -- and may even be responsible for keeping the temperatures up. There's too much going on to list it all here (that's what the events calendar is for), but if you're looking to get out and kick back with some music this week, we've got all the highlights for you. Here we go...
Thursday, December 6
Probably the biggest, most bombastic Christmas show of the season arrives at BOK Center this Thursday night as Trans Siberian Orchestra brings all new production of The Lost Christmas Eve to town to remind you that yes, the season of giving really is at hand. Looking across the tracks, Old Crow Medicine Show headlines Cain's Ballroom with Chuck Mead & the Grassy Knoll Boys opening the show. And if you're looking for some New Orleans funk and soul, make sure to stop in at The Vanguard to catch The Revivalists. Nicnos and Vette will open the show to shake things up over the course of the evening.
Friday, December 7
The show that has flown under everyone's radar is the return of Project 86, who will be headlining a show on the ORU campus at Howard Theater with The Overseer, Even the Dogs, and Carnegie opening. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door, with VIP tickets (including a meet & greet and private acoustic set) available for only $15. Meanwhile, Brian Regan will be bringing his comedy tour to Mabee Center for an evening of laughs on the same night, as well.
Looking downtown, the big country show of the week is Eric Church at BOK Center with Justin Moore and Kip Moore opening the night. Jay Faulkner Trio plays Red Dirt Dancehall on Friday as well and if you're looking for down and dirty Americana, don't miss Barefoot Gypsies with Dirty River Boys at Mercury Lounge. And for the punk and garage rock fans out there, The Last Slice, Streetlight Fight, The Decomposed, and Dirty Mugs come together for the first of two nights celebrating Brothers Houligan's 25th anniversary at The Vanguard.
Saturday, December 8
The Brothers Houligan party carries on at The Vanguard with Shotgun Rebels, Prayers & Curses, Seven Day Crash, For the Wolf, Able the Allies, and Kicktree with a low dough, $5 cover. Elsewhere around town, Whirligig plays The Colony, Mercury Lounge hosts Kentucky Knife Fight and PDA shoots a video while playing a live show at The Shrine with Alan Doyle, Jook Mode and O.T.S.B. opening the night. The coolest show for singer/songwriter fans, however, will be Steve Forbert at All Souls Acoustic Coffeehouse, beginning at 7:30pm.
Sunday, December 9
The weekend winds down with a show at the Jazz Hall of Fame with local siren, Olivia Duhon, at 5pm. Later in the evening you can relax with Brandon Clark at Mercury Lounge or Paul Benjaman & Friends at The Colony.
Monday, December 10
Bryan Adams brings his "Bare Bones" acoustic tour to Brady Theater at 8pm, but not before making an appearance for an "Exposed" book signing at the Philbrook Museum of Art at 3pm.
Tuesday, December 11
Wrap your week up with a dose of local music as For the Wolf, This Season's Color, and Motives team up for a night of tunes at Hunt Club.
After all that, you'd better use Wednesday night to rest up, because it only gets busier next week. Choose wisely and enjoy.

Hang tight!
Recipe by davey
"A great soup to warm you up in a hurry. Great any time of year. You can play with the volumes of jalapeno and ginger and sour cream, to whatever you like. You can vary the amount of sour cream you add depending on how 'hot' you want the soup to taste."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 (2 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
Yum!!! I prefer the squash roasted. Split the squash in half, salt & pepper and put 1 TB butter in before roasting 1 1/2 hours. Pour the juices out into soup pot before cutting so you don't lose the liquid. It was great as it was, but the heat was minimal. I will make again with more jalapeno so I can try it with sour cream. Thank you so much for the recipe!
i liked this, but thought the ginger was far too over powering - perhaps mine was particularly potent - but i will be using less next time. there's enough promise there, though, that there will be a next time.

I roasted the squash first. Since I didn't have any jalapeno pepper, added Tumeric and a little paprika. Gorgeous and very tasty!
Totally vegetarian. Increased the coconut milk to 1 cup and added 1 cup of vegetable broth and sauteed the the onion in olive oil. Very good soup.
Really good. I used fat free evap milk and lite coconut milk and it was still plenty rich. I didn't bother with the sour cream. I'll keep this recipe as my go-to butternut squash soup recipe. Yum
Yummy. This had a Thai flare to it and was oh so good. You have to like ginger as the ginger and Thyme are strong. I love using coconut milk and that added to the flavor. I skipped the garnish and served with whole grain crackers. I will make this again and again
I loved this soup! I needed more chicken broth to boil the squash in it. Maybe I had a larger squash? We like our food on the spicy side, so I added more jalapenos and some cayenne pepper. Very rich and creamy tasting. Didn't need the sour cream... but spinkled some croutons on top for some added texture. Will make again.
Very good! Like some of the other reviewers I roasted the squash before adding it to the soup base. I also used evaporated goat milk as this was for a friend of mine who is lactose intolerant. I think the one jalapeno was just right; there is just a small amount of heat with each bite and we were serving this to kids. If I were to make this again for adults only I would probably add another jalapeno.

Child Development Community Policing
The goal of the Child Development - Community Policing Program (CD-CP) is to heal the wounds that chronic exposure to violence inflicts on children and families. The CD-CP Program is a national model of a collaborative alliance among law enforcement, juvenile justice, domestic violence, medical and mental health professionals, child welfare, schools and other community agencies. The CD-CP Program was launched in 1991 as a partnership between the City of New Haven, the New Haven Department of Police Service and the Yale Child Study Center. Now replicated in communities nationwide, the CD-CP Program is a model for collaborative intervention programs, providing opportunities to develop prompt and effective ways to assist children and families exposed to violence, as well as to better understand the relationship between a child's exposure to violence and traumatic stress symptoms. With a primary emphasis on the child's perspective, CD-CP has changed the traditional way that services are delivered. Thanks to the innovative work that has been done by the Yale Child Study Center's CD-CP Program over the past decade, we continue to advance our understanding of the effects of violence on children and how to break the cycle. The pioneering efforts of the CD-CP Program led the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency to establish the National Center for Children Exposed to Violence (NCCEV) at the Yale Child Study Center in 1999. The mission of the NCCEV is to increase, through both words and action, public and professional awareness of the effects of violence on children. The NCCEV is a primary national resource center for anyone seeking information about the effects of violence on children and the initiatives designed to address this problem. It is also a provider of training, technical assistance and consultation to a variety of collaborative community programs across the country. For additional information, call the NCCEV at 203-785-7047 or email firstname.lastname@example.com ** For individuals that would like to make a contribution to the ongoing support and prosperity of the Child Development-Community Policing program(CD-CP) at The National Center for Children Exposed to Violence/Yale University.

Topic Review (Newest First) |
ks90yj | Are you sure the pre 91' trany was an ax15 because the ba10-5 that I had looked pretty similar to the ax-15 I put in. Im not sure though. Your best bet would be to call advanced adapters after you measure your crank and all that goodness and they should be able to hook you up with what ever you need. |
chad085 | ks90yj, what year jeep did you do this on?? a 1990? (guessing from your screen name....) and what year was the original trans, and the replacement trans?? It seems as though the engine in my jeep has been rebuilt during its 134,000 mile lifespan. what im wondering is if a crank from a '91 or older jeep was used in the rebuild, since the pre '91 ax15 had a different size input shaft. although the current automatic tranny is supposedly original to the jeep, but has also been rebuilt. Ahhhhh, the joys of buying a used vehicle!!! suprise at every corner!!!! LOL |
ks90yj |
This is how I did mine I did manual to manual though. It should be about the same though I think This is for all of you who are thinking about doing this swap. Its overall pretty easy (as long as you have the right parts) First things first get you a new can of PB cause you'll need it! Get you some little zip lock bags and a marker and be sure to label what parts you put in what bag. Next youll need to get an inverted torx bit its a m12. This is for the top two bellhousing bolts pain in the arss (I replaced them with regular bolts) Here is the most important one PIOLET BEARING!!!! before you even start call advanced adapters and have them send you the one for you tranny. Measure your AX15 inputshaft and it should be .75 or I forget what the other measurement was but measure it anywho. When you get it, it will be to big to fit in the back of your crank, so you can do two things either put it on a drill bit and grab some sand paper and start sanding yet another pain or (the method I tried after sanding) take it down to your local machine shop and have them get it the size you need (I took the piolet bearing from my new clutch kit and they sized it up). Next get a new clutch well worth it. My next recomendation is find you an external slave cylinder. I stuck with the internal but kind of regret it now. After haveing to pull the tranny back out after having it all bolted up and finding out it leaks like crazy if you dont put the o-rings in the lines . So go with the external slave. If you do that I believe you need to swap your master cylinder. Next get you a little hand pump for your t-case if you dont have one. Made filling way easier!! And last but not least have some good help around makes a hell of a difference!!! Hit me up if you have any questions! |
ks90yj | I did the same thing Advanced adapters has what you need kind of call them and tell them what you are doing and they will hook you up. Although once you get the brass bushing you will have to sand it down on the out side or lathe it down. I took mine to a local shop and they were able to do it for me. |
czjeeper | On mine, the bushing was in the flywheel, not the crank. |
chad085 | ive got a whole new clutch kit for installing the manual trans into my jeep. the problem is, the hole in the crank where the pilot bushing resides is too big!! the crank appears to be totally different on the automatic motor than it is on the manual motor. i guess jeep didnt want to make things interchangeable. i will try calling AA. thanks |
Ray - San Jose | It's been awhile since I pulled auto and manual transmissions, but if I recall correctly there's a pilot bushing (usually bronze) installed in the back of the crank shaft for the manual transmission that shaft to fit into. You can get it out on the cheap by packing it with grease and whittling down a broom handle to fit snugly in it. Driving the handle in increases the pressure of the grease and presses the bushing out. You'll want to install a new bushing into the engine that's receiving the manual trans. |
4Jeepn | auto vs manual trans. Call advance adaptors or novak they may be able to help ya. |
chad085 |
trans swap please help!!! started a transmission swap yesterday and hit a major roadblock!!! the plan was to swap my 3 speed auto for an ax-15 from another yj. Both jeeps are 1994, both 4.0 inline 6 cyl. Both jeeps run drive and shift great, and the idea was to swap transmissions completely in both jeeps. after a few hours of teardown we were horrified to discover that the crankshafts are different???? mine has a deeper, larger center section that the torque converter slid in to, which will not accept a stock pilot bushing. And the crank on the manual trans motor is shallower, which does not allow the torque converter to sit flush against the flexplate and be bolted down properly???? what gives???? why would there be 2 different cranks in jeep motors of the same year??? anyone else ever had this problem?? please help!!! 2 jeeps in pieces and nobody's happy!!! |

Yet another lisp scriptable program (YALISP ?), so there should be the possibility to do something cool with it. Actually in this case little lisp is involved but the control of window settings depending on their name comes in handy:
Code from
and a little formatted
(custom-set-typed-variable (quote match-window-profile) (quote ((((WM_NAME . "^hidden$")) (depth . -16) (focus-mode . click) (frame-type . none) (ignored . #t) (sticky . #t) (sticky-viewport . #t) (cycle-skip . #t) (window-list-skip . #t) (ignore-stacking-requests . #t)))) (quote match-window) (quote sawfish.wm.ext.match-window))
in addition to that, put into your
somewhere close to the (point-max):
(system "rxvt -T hidden +sb -tr -fg \"#ffff9e\" -bg \"#336577\" -fn 6x10 -geometry 212x75+0+0 -e emacs -nw -f 'root-portal'&")
Now for the EmacsLisp stuff. The .emacs might contain much more customization, but for the coolest root-portal we need the following defun:
(defun root-portal () (interactive) ;; frame settings (menu-bar-mode -1) (tool-bar-mode -1) (xterm-mouse-mode 1) ;; prepare (delete-other-windows) ;; need to start this first for calendar buffer to end up lowest (calendar) (split-window-horizontally) ;; build window configuration (other-window 2) (split-window) (set-window-text-height nil 25) (split-window-horizontally) (other-window 1) ;; terminal window width (enlarge-window-horizontally (- 80 (window-width))) (other-window 4) ;; now start programms (other-window 1) (ansi-term "/bin/bash" "top") ;(term-exec (current-buffer) "top" "top" nil nil) (insert "top") (term-send-input) (other-window 1) (emacs-wiki-find-file "WelcomePage") (other-window 1) (eshell) (other-window 2) (calculator) ;; turn off undo for terminal, to avoid memory exhaust (with-current-buffer "*top*" (setq buffer-undo-list t)) ;; hook settings... (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook (lambda () (save-buffer (get-buffer "freenotes")) (save-buffer (get-buffer "WelcomePage")) (emacs-wiki-publish) (eshell-save-some-history) (set-buffer (get-buffer "*top*")) (term-quit-subjob))))
This is just a humble start, the portal could contain much more things like
And the EmacsLisp code is certainly not the nicest way to do it. Especially the hard coded window sizes that depend on the font-size and the terminal window to have a certain size are bad.
Ah, yes, the author mentioned above would be StefanKamphausen
The screenshot provided is of an older version (without calc) and was edited with gimp. The editing was just removing a picture of my daughter from it (I don't want to see pictures of her in the 'net). You can see the traces of the editing in the lower left corner.
Nice idea. A screenshot would be nice.
Best Regards,
Victor R.
Thanks for the idea. I tried to implement this idea without xterm. I launched Emacs in this 'hidden' window:
(system "emacs -T 'hidden' -g 125x65 -f root-portal &")
The screenshot is here.
Some more customization would be useful to make the setup usable. E.g., the standard function show-desktop minimizes all windows, including this 'hidden' one. It's not difficult to write a new function, though, which would minimizes all windows except for this one, and bind it to a key. I was not impressed deeply enough to continue with this .

I have stayed at this hotel many a time. It is a good hotel although location is not the best. There is literally nothing in the area at all.
The only issue I have with the hotel is the attitude of the front desk staff. I have been fortunate to experience bad attitude from the front desk staff every time I stayed at this hotel.
If you like peace and quiet, this is a viable choice.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by MrBreakfast Service of Cafe 1188
Booked 2 rooms (1 pay 1 redeem free night) for a 2 nights weekend holiday with my family. The pay room was booked with breakfast for 2 but the free room wasn't since no such option found online. First day we 3 went to breakfast together in CAFÉ 1188. Staff on the door told me one of our room has no breakfast include and question me who is/are in that room. I explain I couldn't remember how we arrange the rooms when check-in but both the rooms are booked under my IHG member account online anyways. The conversation seems annoying her and she suggested to charge one head and the other 2 go with the prepaid room (isn't is what everybody expect without detail explain at the beginning?) To avoid embarrassing situation again for the next day I went to the front desk to purchase one additional breakfast for the next morning. But the front desk staff suggested not to do because people are often paid but not turn up in the morning and just waste the money. This is very good suggestion and I accepted that. As expected one of us didn't turn up the next morning and only 2 arrived at around 9:50. The same door staff tell us the breakfast will close very soon so we have to be quick. This is a bit unexpected as we've been told the breakfast close at 10:30 on the day before. The staff said this is Sunday arrangement only and today is Monday so its 10:00 as normal. Well, I'm fine to rush for breakfast however, the way she talk is like talking the rules but not providing service. It does disappointed me. I then walk around the food counters and finally decided not to eat as I really not in a mood. So then I just sit down and ask for a cup of tea for both of us. Same as the day before, the tea arrive with no milk and sugar and spoon..also when my wife asked for folk and knife they just like drop them on the table.(both the days). That time I really question myself 'am I in the Intercon'? And finally I've been questioned again which or both of us are in the paid and unpaid room when we leave. Luckly I have managed myself quietly leave the place but not go mad and further embarrassing.
I normally travel to China 4,5 times a year or more and I have been stay in different IHG brands from Holiday-inn express to Incontinental depends on my destination and purpose of the visit. But I really never experienced such service in the past. In future, IHG group will still one of my first choice but unlikely i will come back Intercontinental Shanghai Expo again. This is mainly because the service I received in the CAFE 1188.

Afther further review, it seems the Invar 36 and 36 FM (Free Machining) is like 36% nickel? WTF? That's Free Machining?!?!?!
It also seems it's used primarily for it's coeffecient of thermal expansion, (clocks, diplexers etc)
I also see suggestions to aneal it for stability. I will end up with about 75% or more material removal (pocketing out the wazoo), is this going to be an issue if I don't get it anealed?
Here's a pict of what it's gonna look like. The quantities could be in the hundreds, so I need to nail the cycle times/tooling charges.

Music writers stamped the twosome with similarities after the Floridians self-released their debut EP, Dark Roots, last November. The album comprised six gauzy, seductive tracks, including a jazzy cover of Radiohead's "Talk Show Host." But the singer and multi-instrumentalist strived to set themselves apart from others, rather than be tucked away behind male/female duos that came before them. As a result, Rae and Asher shifted their sound completely for the EP's follow-up, and with the help of acclaimed producer, Nicolas Vernhes (Dirty Projectors, Deerhunter, Spoon), Blonds found its real groove while recording its debut full-length, The Bad Ones. With such a distinguished producer at the helm, the two-piece was able to effectively convey its vision. Rae claims that her largest inspirations are love, sadness, opposition, longing, and empowerment, and on this record she successfully incorporates these sediments through the sounds of minimalistic blues, electronic, doo-wop, femme fatale, and pop without missing a beat.
The album begins with "Heartstrings," a short tune that pulls from blues and doo-wop. The song begins with a dejected acoustic guitar riff, and Rae's vocals come in with, "I'm so blue, if ever I'm not with you/My heart is dangling by its strings/These sheets are cold and my body is aching because I'm still waking up without you." As she continues to sing, her voice increases its intensity until she is belting out her woeful lyrics. Meanwhile, Asher's background vocals support her in a chorus of "oohs" and "aahs."
From there, the record seamlessly dances between the twangy, independent "Run," sexy, James Bond-esque "Mr. E," and the dreamy, tropical-tinged "Falling," before coming to a screeching halt with "Locomotion," a track that begins with droning keyboards and ends with distorted electric guitar and both Rae and Asher yelling.
This re-imagined form of older genres is what makes Blonds stand out from the rest. Yes, the duo can write sugary sweet indie pop, which is proved by the album's reverbed and twinkling single, "Time," but the fact that Rae and Asher bend the mold, and do it successfully, is what makes them not only interesting, but a serious contender as a buzz band in 2013.

The new cylinder slides into place without issue. The headache with the install is the removal of the steering wheel to take off the old faulty cylinder. Rent a steering wheel puller, and steering ring presser from your local auto parts store, it will make things much easier. Also, lay out all the small parts carefully to make reattachment easy. I have to jiggle the key a bit when taking it out of the cylinder, but I assume that is the issue with a generic key. A minor issue of no consequence. My original cylinder would not remove the key and was stuck with the car running. I have been happily driving since I purchased this part.

Maryville resident Ernest Kramer, a full professor of music who teaches piano performance and other courses at Northwest Missouri State University, recently returned from a week in Vienna, Austria, where he conducted research on the music and life of Austrian composer Franz von Suppé.
Vienna has one of the world's richest musical traditions. Over the past three centuries Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg all worked there.
Kramer's trip included visits to the Austrian National Library and the Vienna City and State Library, where he as able to examine many of Suppé's hand-written manuscripts, printed scores, letters and other memorabilia. The trip was funded by a Northwest Faculty Research grant.
"The information that I gathered in these two magnificent libraries was invaluable," Kramer said. "I was able to hold in my hands such Suppé masterworks as 'The Light Cavalry,' 'Poet and Peasant' and 'Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna.' I carefully examined and took notes on these world-famous pieces for countless hours. That experience was simply priceless."
The results of Kramer's work is to become the basis for a book he is writing on Suppé's music to be published by the Edwin Mellen Press of Wales.
Suppé (1819-1895) was an Austrian composer of light operas who was born in what is now Croatia. He is noted for creating about 30 operettas along with numerous ballets and other stage works.
His overtures have proved especially long-lasting, and several are, often unknowingly, familiar to baby boomers as the soundtracks for cartoons featuring such characters as Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Mickey Mouse and Dudley Do-Right.

Did you update your Apple TV to iOS 4.2 (yeah, it says 4.1 sometimes, 4.2 others, let's consider it both) this week only to find you still had HDCP (high definition copy protection) problems, or worse, only to find you now had HDCP problems, maybe with Netflix in specific? Georgia's experiencing that today, and so are some members of our Apple TV Forum. Well, we'll try to help you out after the break

Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, funnest, most useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they're iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they're fair game.
To see what we picked this week, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break!
The Netflix app for iPhone received a nice little update last night that includes video out support. Yes, this means you are now able to use your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4 to send any streaming video content available on Netflix directly to your TV.
While jailbreakers have been able to take advantage of this feature for quite some time now, it's nice to finally have it "officially" supported.
If you've tried it out, let us know how it works for you.
Apple TV (2010) is a bold-ish relaunch of Apple's Macworld 2007 co-headliner and since-then hobby, the Apple TV. Mac OS X has been ditched in favor of iOS, Intel in favor of Apple A4 (ARM), matt black in favor of aluminum, syncing in favor of streaming, buying in favor of renting, and Netflix has joined what was once an almost exclusively Apple, entirely iTunes affair. Oh, and they've ditched the triple-digit price tag in favor of $99.
A step rather than a leap towards the clouded future ahead, is the new Apple TV enough to hold us over until we get there? Is it competitive with other TV streaming hardware and services? Will I ever stop asking questions and start answering them? You bet, after the break.
Netflix has made its very first foreign expansion by introducing their service of streaming video content into Canada. The service is now available and will cost you $7.99 per month.
This is great news for those of you in Canada as you will not be left out in the cold when Apple TV starts to ship (any day now). The company confirmed that not only will it support Apple TV but Apple's iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch will also be compatible with the streaming service in conjunction with the appropriate Netflix application.
Netflix streaming from iPad or iPhone to your TV via iOS 4.2 AirPlay? That's what Mark Gurman is showing off.
We connected some speakers to an Airport Express and the audio from the Netflix film wirelessly streamed and played perfectly with absolutely no hiccups. When the new Apple TV launches, you'll be able to wirelessly stream both the video and audio to your television set; that's right, I said television.
Now if only they let Hulu Plus do that...
Citing "two people who asked not to be identified", Bloomberg is reporting that Apple may indeed be ready to drop an all new Apple TV (iTV?) tomorrow at their annual special music event.
It's taken a while but Netflix has finally updated their iOS app to universal binary -- that's right, it now supports not only iPad but iPhone and iPod touch as well.
Great news for HBO fans! In an interview with Mossberg, HBO Co-President Eric Kessler said that HBO subscribers will be seeing HBO Go on their iPad's soon.
In six months, HBO Go will be available to the channel's paying subscribers at no additional cost through all major cable systems, on Apple Inc.'s iPad, on mobile devices and elsewhere.
In addition to this great news, Kessler also delivered the disappointing report that HBO and Netflix will likely not be making a deal, so don't expect to see HBO shows on Netflix for iPad anytime soon.

My Obama/Bush /5 was chosen over my John Bell Hood? The Hood signature is a 1/1 and is over 130 years old! He is hands down one of the most famous Generals of the Civil War...lol he stopped doing autograph signings a few years back. I would think the Hood cut-signature is quite rare. This is strange...but good luck to everyone!

oh well, cam newton shield 1/1 it is.

It appears that many people do not agree with the choices pulled. Probably even more that haven't spoken up. If this poll is really about the people and their best pulls, then why are the best pulls not chosen? Out of the 5 good cards I pulled (four - 1/1's) from my $10k+ order, the second worst card was chosen (a 2/5). There are many choices that make more sense than those that have made it to this list. Brock Lesnar, Yu Darvish, David Wright, Cam Newton /25 really? How is there anything that is of /2 or higher? With all due respect, the list on this poll is a joke!

Additionally, a 1/1 that is pulled from a product like Topps Series 1 is a much tougher pull than a product like TTT where there is like 1 per case. |

It's about the one thing that it is always about...PRINCIPLE. If I was the only one who had an issue it may be a different story, however, others have spoken out as well. I will say it again, this contest is supposed to be for the best pull of the month, however, the best cards CLEARLY have not been represented. How is this not clear to EVERYONE? |

This coming from someone who went on an all out Twitter campaign to get his group break card chosen Double standards I guess.
But his name is James Cortellessa, retired air force, loving grandfather, father and husband, and the best smartass around. RIP PAPAJIM |

It was a club communication that was also posted to twitter - they had every right to read it - I had every right to send it. Shame on you. I guess it figures though. Still, it has nothing to do with this pathetic display of entitlement. It is subjective. It is a poll. The only thing clear is that the Cam is winning. |

Nobody forced you to post more than one card. If you had one particular card you thought was the best, you could have just posted that one card. By posting several cards, you left the decision regarding which one(s) of your pulls would be included in the contest in the hands of the company that is hosting the contest and giving away the free item.

People like you who ruin "FREE" contests that don't have to be run...guess what??? Its blowouts decision....sorry, maybe there should be a poll to see which cards should be in the poll for the best pull...guess what, the only persons opinion that matters as to which cards gets on the poll is the people or person at blowout...whine all you want...

It's not about being entitled or wanting to win in the least. It's like having a race for the fastest car in the world that anyone can enter. However, only Hyundai's and Daewoo's are selected for the race. While the high-end cars idle on the side. It's not logical, end of story. However, it is what it is, so we can stop this ridiculous back and forth. Last edited by YakuzaShoeii; 04-03-2012 at 05:39 PM. |

seems like a lot of the cards are based on name recognition and rarity so its their opinion what you are arguing is that their opinion is wrong...and we all know everyone can have an opinion, right or wrong, but its theirs to have and since they run the contest, theirs is what counts

You mean this poll doesn't actually choose the ultimate card of the universe pulled that month but is rather an arbitrary poll voted on by people who may not even know everyone in the list of candidates?
No way! Whoever wins, enjoy that free box of cards! This is supposed to be a fun promo, guys.

Everyone has different interest in different sports and players. I voted for the Newton shield because I am a big football fan. I also like the David Wright for the neatness of the card. I will never vote for a cut auto in this poll that was pulled from a cut auto brand. If a box is purchased for over $1000 and It promises to have a cut auto in it, I don't consider that to be an incredible pull. You get what you pay for. The more people bitch about this poll, maybe Blowout will get rid of it!!!

I was put off by your post. It seems as some of your posts as of late are quite condemning and I wonder why you feel the need to make a post like you did. We all have the right to post here and if someone feels the need to lobby a little for their card that may or may not have been included in the poll they have that right. There is no need for you to insult them for doing so. Please inform me as to what you mean by the statement I have in bold in your post. I feel you have taken a shot at me and I would like to know why.

Momeni Old World OW04 Red Rug
Item #: 126OW04-P Add to Wishlist
$69 - $1059 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: Elegant and sophisticated, Momeni's Old World collection could have come directly from a Rajah's palace one hundred years ago. Traditional designs with a contemporary use of color make these beautiful rugs a must to own. They are hand hooked in China using fine quality wools. The wool is meticulously dyed in small batches to create a very beautiful antique look, utilizing the abrush technique.
- Collection: Old World
- Brand: Momeni
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Hooked
- Styles: Traditional Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 2' x 3', 3' 6" x 5' 6", 5' 3" x 8', 8' x 11' and 2' 6" x 8'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
I am so pleased with this purchase! I was worried about the color because rugs rarely look like they do on line, but the color shown was very accurate. It is even prettier than I expected. I would definitely recommend this rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.

At the height of Konymania last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC), war criminals and child soldiers become uncharacteristic talkings points. On March 14, the Netherlands-based court made headlines in its own right when it passed a landmark verdict – its very first – by convicting the Congolese warlord, Thomas Lubanga Dyilo. He was found guilty on three counts for the abduction of children in the eastern Ituri region in 2002-03, of forcing them to serve as soldiers, and of using them during the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo's from 1998- 2003.
Lubanga served as the alleged head of the Union of Congolese Patriots (UCP) and its former military wing, the Patriotic Forces for the Liberation of Congo, during the Second Congolese war. The ICC decision was unanimous, and now Lubanga faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The Lubanga verdict is exemplary because it was the first one passed by the ICC since its establishment about a decade ago. Lubanga's trial was due to be held in 2008, but was halted when it was discovered that the Office of Prosecution had failed to disclose evidence. It was restarted on January 26, 2009. Many critics have questioned why it took about six years to convict Lubanga after his arrest, bringing into light the weaknesses and
frailties of the International Criminal Court to administer timely justice.
Some have also questioned ICC's equity when it comes to convictions of war criminals. All 28 people who have been charged by the ICC so far have been from Africa. The ICC is comprised of 120 countries currently party to the Rome Statute, with 33 African states. "By the numbers alone, assuming that conflicts occur with similar frequency in each inhabited continent, a national of a member state found to be in violation of the provisions of the statute is statistically more likely to be from Africa than from any other continent," Nanjana Nyabola told Al Jazeera.
Neverthless, the ICC has only ever intervened, with the exception of Kenya (read more about that here), where the countries have asked for intervention or there has been a UN Security Council Resolution.
Another question that has been raised is how much impact the vilification of Lubanga will have on the communities who were affected by his crimes. Many members of the Ituri region, which was ravaged by Lubanga's forces in 2003, are reported as feeling satisfied by the verdict, but not expressing their opinions publicly due to fear of potential supporters of Lubanga and the UPC.
The verdict has also come after a significant amount of time and the communities have already made progress towards reconciliation, despite ICC's delay in court proceedings. There is also the issue of others who had been indicted alongside Lubanga, but are still at large in the DRC. A prime example is Bosco Ntganda, who was charged along with Lubanga, but still operates openly in the Eastern Congo region.
It is evident that ICC's conviction of Lubanga is a historic milestone for international justice, but it also serves to highlight the court's limitations and weaknesses when it comes to conducting international trials. The Lubanga trial serves as an important step in holding those who commit war crimes accountable by the international community.

Can someone suggest a good free Database tool with SQL support for connection to an iSeries. Currently I am using the green screen and it is quite frustrating.
Take the tour
Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
From my own research SQuirreL SQL is the best open source GUI client for the iSeries. It tried it out today it it worked nicely, code completion, syntax highlighting etc. | |||
I highly recommend DbVisualizer with the IBM Toolbox/JTOpen database driver. You can also use it to connect to almost any other database as well. It's cross platform and runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. There is a Free edition edition for commercial and non-commercial use. | |||

Gothic Dog Skull and Crossbones Dog Tag
I keep thinking the skull trend is a passing fad but it seems to have serious legs. Check out this new skull tag from Gothic Dog. Bensley's Skull and Crossbones was inspired by a ship captain, Bensley, and his dog, whom lawyer-turned-jewelry designer Jennifer Barber encountered on the idyllic island of Mauritius. The dog tag comes in several different styles ranging from silver with sapphire for $675 to white gold with diamonds for $1500. The pice shown here is done in 14K white gold with pink sapphires and the delicate touch of pink gold plating the eye sockets. It sells for $1375.

The Flight of the Bird Men
For Jari Kuosma and Robert Pecnik, skydiving wasn't enough-they wanted to strap on wings and fly. So what if 96 percent of their predecessors had died in the attempt?
Waiting on the ground for the Twin Otter that'll take them up, Blossom DeRego and Jari Kuosma look like a pair of avant-garde performance artists posing as flamingos, with bizarre flaps of scarlet flowing from their armpits and between their legs. The other skydivers, milling about in skintight ninja suits, look like superheroes. Once aloft at 13,500 feet, though, they all pour from the plane's side door, and suddenly there's no doubt who the superheroes are. DeRego and Kuosma's scarlet flaps transform into wings, and the dynamic duo swerve and swoop through the sky like they're heading for the Hall of Justice.
Poor ninjas. They just drop like cannonballs.
DeRego, a personal trainer from Hawaii, recently moved to DeLand, Florida, to live in the skydiving capital of the world. With 593 jumps, she's a veteran cannonballer. But this, her first flight in a BirdMan suit, is something entirely new. The moment she's out the door, she feels as if she's flying two miles above Earth. She is flying—her body alone, unaided by plane or glider. She zings from cloud top to cloud top, screaming with glee. The suit's three wings (the flaps under each arm and between the legs) increase her body's surface area by 100 percent, cut her fall's terminal velocity by two-thirds, and propel her forward to whoosh about the sky. Kuosma, for his part, holds down the other end of the experience spectrum. He and his Croatian partner, Robert Pecnik, invented these wing suits. Kuosma's
terminal velocity in the suit is a mere 35 mph—as opposed to 120 mph for a ninja-suit jumper—and with his 80 mph horizontal top speed, he can almost outpace the Twin Otter.
Kuosma and DeRego cannot gain or maintain altitude, so, technically, they aren't flying. But because even beginners can swoop two miles horizontally for every mile they drop, it sure feels like flight. After the jump, DeRego's eyes look as if they're on fire. "Wow!" she says, and then, clearly at a loss, she just repeats herself—"Wow … Wow!"—over and over. Finally, she breaks into a huge smile and speaks words that humans have dreamed of speaking at least since Daedalus built wings of feather and wax: "I was flying!" she says.
In August 1998, just days after meeting for the first time,
Jari Kuosma and Robert Pecnik drove from Slovenia to Arco, Italy, to leap off a 3,000-foot cliff. For Kuosma, this was not an entirely novel activity. He'd begun throwing himself from tall earthbound structures—BASE jumping (the acronym stands for Building, Antenna, Span, Earth)—the previous year, and had maybe a dozen jumps to his credit. In Pecnik, he had instantly sensed a kindred spirit. As a boy Pecnik had strapped homemade parachutes to hamsters and tossed them (without harm) from his sixth-story bedroom window; by the time he joined the Croatian national team he was making his own jumpsuits. Somehow, though, he had yet to do any BASE jumping, a deficiency Kuosma decided to address immediately.
