DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0031] Preferred embodiments according to the present invention will further be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. [0032] An antenna device 1 according to the present invention is removably mounted to a radio communication card module 4 which adds radio communication function to a personal computer 2 or a main apparatus 2 when installed thereto. The radio communication card module 4 adds radio communication function to the main apparatus 2 when installed to a slot 3 thereof, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The radio communication card module 4 is removed when it is not necessary. [0033] The radio communication card module 4 adds radio communication function to the main apparatus 2 so that the main apparatus 2 can transmit/receive data among apparatuses constituting a radio communication network system by radio communication. The radio communication card module 4 receives data or information from apparatuses via the internet and transmits the received data or information to the main apparatus 2 or to apparatuses included in the internet. Having the antenna device 1 of high performance mounted thereto, the radio communication card module 4 can transmit/receive radio information with high accuracy. The radio communication card module 4 has the protruding length of the antenna device 1 from the main apparatus 2 made minimum. So, the antenna device 1 is not considered to be cumbersome, and is not broken so often due to a hit by the user. [0034] The radio communication card module 4 has a card-sized module main body 5 and an antenna device 1 provided at one side thereof. The radio communication card module 4 has a first side 5 a which is to be installed to the main apparatus 2, and a second side 5 b located on the opposite side of the first side 5 a to which the antenna device 1 is removably mounted. The module main body 5 has built therein a circuit board 22 which has formed thereon a high frequency signal processing unit, a CPU and a ROM constituting a baseband signal processing unit and a controlling unit, a general purpose LSI, a memory element for performing storage function, and a power supply controlling unit, the details of which is omitted. The main surface of the first side 5 a of the module main body 5 has formed thereon a connection terminal 23. The connection terminal 23 may be a plug-shaped terminal conforming to the standard of the radio communication card module 4. [0035] On inserting the first side 5 a of the module main body 5 to the slot 3 of the main apparatus 2, the connection terminal 23 is connected to a connection terminal formed inside the slot 3. Thus, radio communication card module 4 is connected to the main apparatus 2. When the radio communication card module 4 is inserted to the main apparatus 2 and supported therein, the antenna device 1 protrudes from the side of the main apparatus 2 by a length t being the thickness thereof along the side direction of the main apparatus, as shown in FIG. 5. The antenna device 1 is so formed as to be reduced in thickness, the details of which will be described later. The protruding length t of the antenna device 1 from the main apparatus 2 is approximately 4 mm, which is about one sixth of the protruding length 1 of the radio LAN card 50 being approximately 25 mm. [0036] Since the antenna device 1 of the radio communication card module 4 is located in the vicinity of the main apparatus 2, the antenna characteristics of the antenna device 1 may be deteriorated when affected by the housing shape of the main apparatus 2 or material thereof. So, the antenna device 1 of the radio communication card module 4 has built therein two antennas, the directions of the main polarized wave of which are different from each other to configure polarization diversity. Thus, the radio communication card module 4 having the antenna device 1 can transmit/receive data or information with high accuracy irrespective of the antenna characteristics. The radio communication card module 4 has the antenna device 1 having these two antennas so formed as to be reduced in size, which can make the antenna device 1 supported with stability by the main apparatus 2. [0037] There is formed a recess 6 for supporting the antenna device 1 at the second side 5 b of the module main body 5, as shown in FIG. 7. There are formed a pair of coaxial jack terminals 7 adjacent to each other at the recess 6 along the width direction of the module main body 5, the details of which is omitted. The jack terminals 7 are connected to the circuit board 22 built in the module main body 5, and data is transmitted between the antenna device 1 and the module main body 5 via the jack terminals 7. The antenna device 1 is fed with power via the jack terminals 7. [0038] The antenna device 1 has an antenna substrate 8, a holding member 9 being a housing for holding the antenna substrate 8, a front member 10, and a pair of coaxial plug connectors 16 (16 a, 16 b). The holding member 9 is of a box-shaped configuration with its front side and bottom side opened. The holding member 9 has formed therein an opening 17 for holding the antenna substrate 8, and a terminal cover 18 is unitedly formed at the rear side thereof. The front member 10 shuts the opened front and bottom sides of the holding member 9, and has a supporting member 19 for supporting the antenna substrate 8 which is unitedly formed at the protruding bottom formed at the rear side thereof. The front member 10 also has a pair of protruding studs 20 (20 a, 20 b) to be coupled to the holding member 9 which are unitedly formed at both sides of the supporting member 19. The holding member 9 and front member 10 perpendicularly holds the antenna substrate 8. [0039] The main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8 has formed thereon a first antenna pattern 11, a second antenna pattern 13, and a short circuit forming pattern 12 located therebetween. The other main surface 8 b of the antenna substrate 8 has mounted thereto the coaxial plug connectors 16 perpendicularly. The antenna substrate 8 is made of burning resistance glass material of FR4 grade (flame retardant grade) being generally an epoxy resin copper-clad laminate substrate. And the patterns, to be described later, are formed by printing or etching method. The antenna substrate 8 uses an FR 4 copper-clad laminate substrate having a dielectric constant of approximately 4. Also, a polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon being a trade name)-ceramic combined substrate and a ceramic substrate can also be used as the substrate. The antenna substrate 8 using a substrate having a high dielectric constant reduces the resonance frequency, which can miniaturize the antenna device 1. The antenna substrate 8 can also use the Teflon (trade name), etc. having a high dielectric constant and a low dielectric dissipation factor at a significantly high frequency band more than 10 GHz. [0040] Next, the configuration of the patterns formed on the antenna substrate 8 will be described, in which terms �upside�, �downside�, �left�, �right�, etc. are used when FIG. 8 is vied. The antenna substrate 8 is a miniaturized substrate having high performance. The outside dimension of the antenna substrate 8 is 42 mm�9.5 mm�0.8 mm. The first antenna pattern 11 is an inversed F type antenna pattern formed on the left portion of the main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8. The first antenna pattern 11 or the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 has a resonating pattern, a short circuit forming pattern, and a feeding-pattern. The resonating pattern extends directly from a point near the left edge to a point near the center portion along the upside edge on the main surface 8 a. The short circuit forming pattern extends downward directly from the center portion end of the resonating pattern perpendicular thereto. The feeding pattern extends downward directly from the halfway portion of the resonating pattern perpendicular thereto in parallel with the short circuit forming pattern. Thus, the inversed F type antenna of an inversed F shape facing the bottom of the antenna substrate 8 is formed. The direction of the main polarized wave of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 is parallel with upside to downside direction of the main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8, as shown by an arrow a in FIG. 8. [0041] The short circuit forming pattern 12 is located substantially at the center portion of the main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8 and extends from upside to downside directly. The short circuit forming pattern 12 is located between the first antenna pattern 11 and the second antenna pattern 13 to electrically insulate these patterns, thereby preventing them from affecting each other. Thus, the short circuit forming pattern 12 allows the first antenna pattern 11 and second antenna pattern 13 to be formed closely with each other, which can miniaturize the antenna substrate 8. [0042] The second antenna pattern 13 is a meander type antenna pattern which is folded alternately to form a zigzag line, and is formed on the left portion of the main surface 8 a separated by the short circuit forming pattern 12. The direction of the main polarized wave of the second antenna pattern 13 or the meander type antenna pattern 13 is parallel with left to right direction of the main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8, as shown by an arrow b in FIG. 8. Thus, the direction of the main polarized wave of the meander type antenna pattern 13 crosses perpendicular to that of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11, Thereby configuring polarization diversity. So, the height of the antenna substrate 8 using the meander type antenna pattern 13 is less than half that of the antenna device 60 in which a pair of inversed F type antennas are formed perpendicular to each other to configure polarization diversity. [0043] On the other hand, the antenna substrate 8 may be formed so that the direction of the main polarized wave of the meander type antenna pattern 13 is made equal to that of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11, thereby configuring polarization diversity in which the directions of the main polarized wave of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 and meander type antenna pattern 13 are equal. [0044] The main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8 has formed thereon a ground pattern 14 under the meander type antenna pattern 13. The ground pattern 14 is formed in the vicinity of a feeding end of the meander type antenna pattern 13 with a clearance being 0.2 mm therebetween in this embodiment. Thus configured ground pattern 14 adds shunt capacitance to reduce the resonance frequency, which can miniaturize the antenna device 1, while realizing impedance matching of the second antenna pattern 13. The antenna substrate 8 may not have formed thereon the ground pattern 14 for adding the shunt capacitance at a predetermined frequency specification. [0045] The antenna substrate 8 has formed thereon a circuit unit 21 for performing high frequency signal modulation and amplification, which has chips or electronic parts such as coils, capacitors, resistors, short resistors, etc. The circuit unit 21 is connected to a point in the vicinity of the opened end of the meander type antenna pattern 13. The circuit unit 21 reduces the resonance frequency along with the ground pattern 14, which can miniaturize the antenna device 1, while realizing impedance matching of the second antenna pattern 13. Thus, the antenna substrate 8 can form the meander type antenna pattern 13 in a region smaller than that required for performing resonance, which is approximately from λ/2 to λ/4 in length. [0046] The antenna substrate 8 may have formed thereon another short circuit forming pattern to directly connect the short circuit forming pattern 12 to a point in the vicinity of the opened end of the second antenna pattern 13 instead of forming the circuit unit 21. With thus configured antenna substrate 8, the impedance matching can also be realized and the resonance frequency can be reduced. [0047] The main surface 8 a of the antenna substrate 8 has formed thereon a feeding pattern 15 under the center portion thereof. The feeding pattern 15 has arranged thereon lands to which the ends of the short circuit forming pattern and feeding pattern of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11, feeding end of the short circuit forming pattern 12, and feeding end of the meander type antenna pattern 13 are connected. There are formed mounting holes on the feeding pattern 15 through which the ends of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b are inserted, respectively, the details of which is omitted. [0048] The coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b have their basal portions inserted through the holes, and connected to the feeding pattern 15 by soldering. Each of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b has an input/output terminal at the core thereof, and has a ground terminal at the outer circumference thereof. The input/output terminal and ground terminal of each of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b are connected to the lands of the feeding pattern 15 by soldering. Thus, each of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b protrudes perpendicular to the antenna substrate 8. [0049] When the antenna substrate 8 is housed in the holding member 9 and front member 10, the ends of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b protrude from the terminal cover 18 to be exposed to outside. Each of the ends of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b is configured to be a plug. And when the antenna device 1 is mounted to the module main body 5, each end of the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b is fit into each of the jack terminals 7, as will be described hereinafter. Thus, the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b being connecting means connect the antenna device 1 to the module main body 5, and transmit/receive data therebetween and feed the antenna device 1 with power. [0050] The antenna device 1 is engaged in the recess 6 of the module main body 5, when the coaxial plug connectors 16 a, 16 b protruding from the terminal cover 18 are inserted to the jack terminals 7 of the module main body 5. Thus the antenna device 1 is mounted to the module main body 5 to configure the radio communication card module 4. When the antenna device 1 is mounted to the module main body 5, the antenna device 1 uprises at the side of the module main body 5 along the side direction thereof. The antenna device 1 can be detached from the module main body 5 by pulling out the antenna device 1 from the module main body 5. So, the radio communication card module 4 can be handled easily by separating the antenna device 1 and module main body 5 when not in use. [0051] With the radio communication card module 4, it is required that the first and second antenna patterns 11, 13 are not affected by metal portions of the module main body 5. Thus, in the antenna device 1, the resonating pattern of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 is so formed as to be separated from the metal portions of the module main body 5. On the other hand, in the antenna device 1, the meander type antenna pattern 13 is formed so that the feeding end thereof is located in the vicinity of the metal portions of the module main body 5, while the opened end thereof is separated from the metal portions of the module main body 5. Furthermore, in the antenna device 1, the meander type antenna pattern 13 is so formed as to be coupled to the ground of the module main body 5, which can make it possible to obtain a desired resonance frequency. [0052] With the radio communication card module 4, the first and second antenna patterns 11, 13 are set to be used in the same frequency band. On the other hand, the first and second antenna patterns 11, 13 may be set to be used in different frequency bands. With the radio communication card module 4, the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 whose resonating pattern length can be set large is used for low frequency band, while the meander type antenna pattern 13 being used for high frequency band. [0053] With the radio communication card module 4, it is possible to set the first and second antenna patterns 11, 13 so that either of them can be used in case it is not necessary to configure polarization diversity. With the radio communication card module 4, it is not necessary to form the first and second antenna patterns 11, 13 on the antenna substrate 8 in above-described manner, and, for example, they may be formed in regions having the same area. With the radio communication card module 4, the second antenna pattern 13 may be a chip type antenna pattern. [0054]FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B show the measurement result of the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the impedance matching characteristics. FIG. 9A shows the result of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11, while FIG. 9B shows that of the meander type antenna pattern 13. The antenna device 1 is so designed as to be used for 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band which is the standard band employed by the radio communication card module 4. The smaller the VSWR is, the better the antenna characteristics becomes. As is apparent from FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, each value of the VSWR of the inversed F type antenna pattern 11 and meander type antenna pattern 13 is desirably both less than 2. [0055] The antenna device 1 may be mounted to a subminiature radio communication module 30 shown in FIG. 10, whose outside dimension is 50.00 mm �21.45 mm. The subminiature radio communication module 30 has a housing 31 which has built therein various elements for realizing storage function and radio communication function similar to a memory stick (trade name). The housing 31 has a terminal 32, a memory 33 for performing storage function, an LSI 34 for baseband signal processing, and an RF module 35 for high frequency signal processing. [0056] With the subminiature radio communication module 30, an antenna unit 36 is configured by the antenna substrate 8 of the antenna device 1. With the subminiature radio communication module 30, above-described elements including the antenna substrate 8 are mounted to a flexible circuit board 37, and the antenna substrate 8 is so supported by the housing 31 as to uprise therein. The subminiature radio communication module 30 further has a radio wave absorbent 39 for embedding the region among the LSI 34, the RF module 35, other elements 38, and other region. Above described elements are mounted to the flexible circuit board 37 in the housing 31 in order of above description, which can reduce the internal loss of the subminiature radio communication module 30. With the subminiature radio communication module 30, hypofunction due to interference over the antenna unit 36 by the RF module 35 is suppressed. [0057] The subminiature radio communication module 30 is installed to the main apparatus 2 by connecting the terminal 32 thereto. At this time, similar to the radio communication card module 4, the antenna unit 36 uprises at the side of the main apparatus 2 along the side direction thereof. Since the antenna substrate 8 uprises via the flexible circuit board 37, the protruding length from the main apparatus 2 can be minimized. [0058] As in the above, according to the present invention, when the module main body is inserted to the main apparatus and supported therein, the antenna device is supported perpendicular to the insertion direction, and the protruding length of the antenna device is made minimum when in use. So, since the antenna device is not cumbersome, the main apparatus with the radio communication-card module can be improved in handling and operating, and is scarcely broken due to a hit by the user. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the protruding length of the antenna device is reduced, designing conditions of the main apparatus can be loosened significantly, which can realize designing with high degree of freedom. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the miniaturized antenna device has built therein two antenna patterns and configures polarization diversity, the antenna characteristics is not deteriorated when affected by the housing shape of the main apparatus or material thereof when installed to the main apparatus, which can realize transmission/reception of data or information with high accuracy.

Each information packet may be associated with a destination address. A network device can then process and transmit the information packet as appropriate (e.g., to another network switch or router) in accordance with the destination address. To facilitate this process, the network device may store a list of destination addresses and associated routing information in memory. Accessing such a list, however, may take a considerable amount of time�especially when the network device needs to search for routing information associated with a lengthy destination address. Moreover, the amount of time required to access the information may degrade the performance of a high-speed network device.
The network device 200 also includes a controller 220. The controller 220 may comprise, for example, a control plane processor (e.g., an Intel� XScale� processor) that performs control and system management functions as well as executing real-time applications.
At 302, a destination address associated with an information packet is received (e.g., by the packet forwarding engine 230). By way of example, FIG. 4 illustrates a destination address 400 according to some embodiments. In particular, the destination address 400 shown in FIG. 4 is an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address as defined in Request For Comment 2373, �IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture� published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (July, 1998).
The 128-bit IPv6 destination address 400 includes a 64-bit �destination address prefix� and a 64-bit interface identifier. The destination address prefix comprises three bits of Format Prefix (FP) information, 13 bits of Top Level Aggregation (TLA) information, 24 bits of Next Level Aggregation (NLA) information, and a 16 bits of Site Level Aggregation (SLA) information. Note that the destination address prefix also includes eight bits of reserved information (e.g., which may be set to zero).
Note that the IPv6 destination address 400 is structured to reflect a hierarchy or aggregation of addresses. The first hierarchical level is the TLA information, followed by the NLA information and then the SLA information. Finally, the interface identifier can be used to distinguish among hosts local to a site (e.g., a globally or locally unique identifier). As a result, a network device may determine an appropriate route for an information packet based on the destination address prefix (e.g., the FP, TLA, NLA, and SLA information) without regard to the interface address�unless the information packet's final destination is related to the network device (e.g., the final destination may be in a subnet directly connected to the network device).
Referring again to FIG. 3, it is determined at 304 if the destination address is associated with �device address information.� As used herein, the phrase �device address information� may refer to, for example, a device address prefix associated with a network device.
Due to the hierarchical allocation of IPv6 addresses, specific routing information will not typically be present in a network device (e.g., a router) unless that device lies at the edge of the network and the destination address is attached to a subnet connected to the network device. On the other hand, information packets destined to a network �inside� the domain of a network device (e.g., when an edge router connects a local network to the rest of a network) may require specific routes. Note that, in this case, the destination address prefix associated with the information packet may be same as the network device's address prefix. In other words, more specific routes in a network device are expected to have the prefix of the address of the network device. For an IPv6 network device, the address on each interface may share a common IPv6 prefix (with the number of bits in the prefix depending on the position of the router in the hierarchy). Thus, routing information may be cached for addresses that match all (or parts) of the device address prefix (e.g., a router's IPv6 address prefix). According to some embodiments, the determination of whether the destination address is associated with the device address information (e.g., whether a destination address prefix matches a device address prefix) is performed via a local cache 232. For example, the packet forwarding engine 230 may perform this determination using information stored in a local memory. According to some embodiments, the information stored in local memory comprises a subset of a trie data structure stored in the memory unit 240.
FIG. 5 illustrates a trie data structure 500 according to some embodiments. In particular, the trie data structure 500 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes seven trie tables. Each table has entries associated with �00� through �FF,� and each entry may represent an address or pointer associated with another table (i.e., in the next level of the trie data structure 500) or a �null� (e.g., indicating that no other table is associated with that entry).
By way of example, consider a 128-bit destination address of 01:09:FF:00:: (with �::� indicating that the remaining bits are zero). The first eight bits of the address (i.e., �01�) is used as an index in the first, or base, trie table. Note that the entry associated with �01� in the first table illustrated in FIG. 5 points to the third table. The next eight bits of the address (i.e., �09�) are then used as an index in the third table, resulting in an entry that points to the fifth table. Similarly, the next eight bits (i.e., �FF�) are used as an index in the fifth table, resulting in an entry that points to the seventh table. The next eight bits (i.e., �00�), however, result in a null entry indicating that no further information for that address is stored in the trie data structure 500.
By way of example, consider again the trie data structure illustrated in FIG. 5 and a 128-bit destination address of 01:09:FF:00::. Before executing a tric lookup algorithm, a current router pointer may be initialized to a default value (e.g., �35�). When the first trie table is accessed (e.g., entry �01� based on the destination address), assume that a route pointer 602 value of �22� is extracted. The current router pointer would then be updated (e.g., from 35 to 22) and the third trie table would be accessed (e.g., entry �09� based on the destination address). Assume that the route pointer 602 associated with this entry in the third trie table is �0.� In this case, no valid routing information is available and the current route pointer would remain unchanged (e.g., as �22�). The process may then be repeated until the trie lookup algorithm terminates (e.g., when the null entry in the seventh trie table is accessed). According to some embodiments, a subset of the information 600 is also stored in the local cache 232 of the packet forwarding engine 230. For example, entries associated with the device address may be stored in the local cache 232.

We found that, in response to survival signals, BimEL was rapidly phosphorylated on three serine residues in a conserved degron, facilitating binding and degradation via the F box protein betaTrCP. Phosphorylation of the BimEL degron was executed by Rsk1/2 and promoted by the Erk1/2-mediated phosphorylation of BimEL on Ser69. Compared to wild-type BimEL, a BimEL phosphorylation mutant unable to bind betaTrCP was stabilized and consequently potent at inducing apoptosis by the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. Moreover, although non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells often become resistant to gefitinib (a clinically relevant tyrosine kinase inhibitor that induces apoptosis through BimEL), silencing of either betaTrCP or Rsk1/2 resulted in BimEL-mediated apoptosis of both gefitinib-sensitive and gefitinib-insensitive NSCLC cells. Our findings reveal that betaTrCP promotes cell survival in cooperation with the ERK-RSK pathway by targeting BimEL for degradation.PMID: 19150432 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] PMCID: PMC2655121 Free PMC ArticleShareImages from this publication.See all images (4)Free textFigure 1βTrCP controls the degradation of BimEL(A) BimEL specifically interacts with βTrCP. HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated FLAG-tagged F-box proteins (FBPs) or an empty vector (EV). Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were treated for three hours with PMA and MG132 before harvesting. Whole cell extracts (WCE) were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with anti-FLAG resin (α-FLAG) and immunobloting for the indicated proteins.(B) The interaction of βTrCP1 with BimEL is promoted by PMA and MG132 and is inhibited by a MEK inhibitor. HEK293 cells were transfected with FLAG-tagged βTrCP or an empty vector. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were treated with the indicated drugs for three hours before harvesting. Whole cell extracts (WCE) were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with anti-FLAG resin (α-FLAG) and immunobloting for the indicated proteins.(C) βTrCP silencing stabilizes BimEL. HEK293 cells were treated with a control siRNA (Ctrl) or an siRNA targeting βTrCP. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, cells were treated with either PMA alone or PMA and MG132 for the indicated times. Extracts were then immunoblotted for the indicated proteins. The accumulation of Cdc25A (a known βTrCP substrate) demonstrates efficient βTrCP knockdown [also confirmed by RT-PCR (Fig. S10)].(D) HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-tagged BimEL, Skp1, Cul1, and Roc1 in the presence of an empty vector (EV), FLAG-tagged βTrCP or FLAG-tagged βTrCP(ΔF-box). After immunopurification with anti-FLAG resin, in vitro ubiquitylation of BimEL was performed. Samples were analyzed by immunoblotting with an anti-HA antibody.

Welding peace sign sculptures
At the start of the Iraq war I combined my art and my message of peace, resulting in the creation of my first peace sign...
When the Iraq War began, I felt helpless and deeply saddened by the tragedies ahead. Many people in the area where I live were displaying yellow ribbons outside their homes to show their support for our troops. I, too, wanted to support our troops, but I found myself struggling to figure out exactly "who" that included.
It started to became clear to me that "my" troops not only consisted of the soldiers putting their lives on the line for my country, but also the men, women and children throughout the world--both military and civilian. “My” troops deserve to live in a peaceful, safe environment where children can learn that there are alternatives to violence. They deserve to live their lives without being exposed to the consequences that result from times of war.
How to accomplish this is certainly not clear to me, but what is clear to me, is that war CANNOT be the answer. So, in 2003, without any solutions, but with strong convictions, I set out to combine my art and my message; resulting in the creation of my first large steel peace sign sculpture, which I placed at the end of my driveway. No, my peace sign wasn't a yellow ribbon, but it was ABSOLUTELY a sign of support for our troops--for “my” troops. It was a sign that meant, “...bring our friends and family members home...no more violence...no more war”. Ever since that time, this is the message that I have put into every peace sign I've made since the very first one that stood at the end of my driveway.

He's got such cool designs, which he'll do 3D for you, he gives the client the benefit of the doubt and has AMAZING pricing. With KC it was like good news spreads fast. I don't know anyone that has had anything less than exceptional all around. I would say don't make a decision without talking to KC first. He did part ways with his past work partner so he has his own company now, U Build It Pools & Landscape. Five Star Pools And LandscapingS. R. ratedKC designed a beautiful pool and landscape for my real estate client. He had a sunken fire pit, rock slide, Vegas style pool lighting, and so much personalized for this buyer. He gives you animated photos and has such creativity. Two years later my client is so happy he came across KC who saved him about half of the other bids. Pool companies can be outrageous in their pricing! DHM Landscapingmfarrant1 ratedI have been very impressed wit...I have been very impressed with the quality of work of DHM since I let go of the other company. The owner of DHM is always very professional and his crews are on time and leave the job very clean. I would recommend DHM to any company or individual looking for a landscaper.

The price was great, the service was better! So easy to do business with, and did i mention affordable!Did You Know?Nature's beauty can be seen everywhere through landscape designs. Not everyone has a green thumb or the knowledge to coordinate a landscaping plan that's aesthetically pleasing and meets the unique needs of the property. Landscape contractors can help add curb appeal to the exterior of your home or strategize how plants should be laid out.Job DescriptionGenerally, landscape contractors create or refurbish outdoor spaces by planting trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers, and constructing paths, decks and patios. These professionals will generally discuss client requirements, how the landscaped area will be used, and the client's preference for certain styles. After this initial meeting, landscapers will select the materials they need and start carrying out their construction and planting plans.With the number and variety of properties that need landscaping services, it should come as no surprise that there are many different providers to choose from. In fact, there are nearly 500,000 active landscaping businesses in the U.S. This demand is driven by the continued growth in domestic housing markets. Steady disposable income has also been a major reason for households to outsource their yard care.Different Types of LandscapingLandscaping contractors have a wide variety of techniques that they can use to spruce up your yard. Here are some of the most common landscaping attributes that you can find at most homes:Perennials

Top Reviewer Ranking: 11,020,891
Anna Quay (Middle of England)
4.0 out of 5 stars A book that takes its time to impress but does, 14 July 2008
This review is from: In Search of England: Journeys into the English Past (Paperback)
Weaving is an overused metaphor but for this book feels appropriate. It is a series of disparate pieces the full effect of which doesn't really make itself apparent until you've read it all. It starts off quite normally for a book about Olde Englande - Alfred, Aethelstan, the Normans, moderately interesting but nothing extraordinary - but then by focussing in on small specifics - a psalter, a chapel and some woods, a farm house - he achieves something I've never seen before in the same way, giving a real sense of how persistant and pervasive the material past is (have a map or Google Earth handy, it's fascinating).
At the end he brings it round full circle, writing about a group of people whose roots are in both Norman England and in Africa, via centuries in the Carribean, showing that the heritage of Olde Englande isn't only about the narrow vision that includes stone Norman knights in churches, and that in turn stone normans belong as much to those African - Carribean Norman descendants as to white english ones who more commonly claim them and in whose stories and identity they are so significant.
I was struck by how many people have written reviews for this product, and how many have read those reviews, judging by the amount of feedback left. Perhaps this reflects a perenial optimism that things will work out okay if you prod and tweak them, plus it's a cool looking gadget. Well that's me to a tee - sucker for cute widgets plus I did what I guess most people did and think 'oh those ones who couldn't get it to work very well, they were probably just unlucky'. Thirty quid didn't seem like very much money when it would almost certainly work for me, me being reasonably techy-savvy.
Well. As seems to be standard, the initial scan with the supplied aerial produced nothing, but forewarned I plugged it in to the house aerial, and the scan produced a list of about thirty channels. Note, I had to stand in front of my tv set to do this, where there is, er.. not a great need for another tv, but I digress.
I initially struggled to reorder the channels in the set up box, but with a little perseverance I did. Then I tried them out.
BBC1 & BBC2 & CBBC fine
Sky Sports News & Sky 3 fine
E4 fine
Now there are many more channels listed, many of them called things like '302', but I have no idea what these are. Click on them and Nothing happens. Can't find ITV or C4 at all.
The Quality of the picture and sound is really good, no complaints there, but to be honest I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known I'd be able to get two channels I want at the price of having an extension cable resting on the head of the people watching the real telly in the living room.
If I want to record something on BBC1 or 2 I'll probably be very pleased.
Other comments: the remote has to be very close to the usb stick to work; the stick heats up to the point where I wouldn't want it touching anything else or to be left plugged in while I wasn't in the room as I suspect it could be a hazard if forgotten; the software is not intuitive to use and exhibits selective behaviour, where sporadically only parts of it will function (not a lack of resources as pc is quite powerful). It isn't impossible but it doesn't make the job easy.
So should you buy it? Well you might be one of the lucky ones - some people obviously do fine judging from many of the reviews -
but I think you have to be realistic, it's just a straight gamble..
Have to say that thirty quid seems like quite a lot now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated intensity, lyrical, kind.., 15 Dec. 2005
I came across ED when I was an angstful teenager, and loved her for the fact she could say in three and a half lines whatever profound thing I had recently come to realise. As I grew older I noticed her poems came with me - now she was taking to task the earlier self absorption, mocking it but saying new things that were profound in their turn. In the thirty years since, I've loved her poems for the fact they point to so many aspects of life we experience but don't always find voiced, or because she voices more familiar moments with originality, brevity, or style.
If you don't know her poems then a first glance might find them off-putting - there are so many, they are numbered not named, they are impossible to read in a straight line because of all the hyphens. But don't be put off by these things. They are not just not a major problem, once you 'get your eye in' they are actually good points! For example, she fits, by virtue of those initially - irritating - hyphens - things that ordinary sentences can't (like meaning several things at once). The huge number of poems mean she covers a huge range of life's moments, the numbers instead of titles mean come to them without any preconceptions of what they are about.
Her complete works are like a kind of journey, so wide ranging and varied that there is something for every person you are likely to be. Suitable (and comforting, thought provoking, satisfying) for reflective humans of every age, not just the teenage.
The blurb goes on about it being passionate and bubbly and whatever, but don't be put off.. it really is good! It's a rare example of a science book which is hard to put down in the way a 'good read' should be, but is more informative than many pop science books come near.
In brief the book covers what he looked for (identifiable patterns in mitochondrial DNA); what he found (they exist, and are special because they only pass from mother to child); and what that means (he could prove not only that we're all related but how, when and where). He talks about his excitement at the 'we're all related' factor, and although I started out cynical, or rather apathetic, I was excited too by the end of the book. If you're a 'Helena', then you descend from the same great.... grandmother as anyone else with that marker, which could be your bloke, your dad (as well as your mum), your girlfriend, the bloke selling the big issue on the corner, the confused-looking people on the telly in some Baghdad hospital... when you start thinking about the implications, it gives you a rather funny feeling, and that is what Sykes says is the whole point of the work he does.
And even if fluffy we-are-all-one feelings are not for you, I bet you'd be fascinated by the information the book contains!
Oh - and as a painless primer in pre-history it's not half bad either.
