Designed for stone and tile sealer application and cleanup
Surface should be dry, clean and free of waxes, sealers or finishes. TileLab® Heavy-Duty Stripper & Cleaner or Aqua Mix® Heavy-Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner will clean the surface or strip wax and acrylic finishes. New installations need to be cured 48 – 72 hours before application. Protect painted surfaces. Test product in obscure area to ensure desirable results. Sealer can be applied 48 hours after grout has been installed.
Porous tile, such as clay and Saltillo pavers, can be stained by grout during installation. Sealing the tile before grouting will make grout removal much easier. Apply two coats of sealer according to directions after tile has been bonded for a minimum of 24 hours, or apply to front face of tile before installation.
Follow surface preparation and usage instructions of sealer to be used. Apply sealer to applicator pad and spread evenly over application area. Per sealer instructions, clean up any leftover sealer residue with microfiber towels. Wash applicator pad and towels per washing instructions.
Wash and allow to dry per instructions and store in resealable pouch provided.
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, acids or bleach. Use an appropriate TileLab® or Aqua Mix® neutral cleaner. Tile industry experts recommend periodic testing of sealed surfaces. Apply a few drops of water on the surface. If it soaks in, an additional application of sealer will be necessary to keep sealer at peak performance.

Roadhouse Lucerne Reviews
1733 reviews
Fulfilled my need for beers May 05, 2009
I had arrived only one hour earlier in Luzern. I had some difficulties finding my hotel and especially because of all the streets that was blocked for cars. I decided to find a parking space outside the old city center and soon after checked in to the hotel. The weather was extremely nice and I decided to head for the water straight away in order to find a cold beer.
I passed a couple of corners and I ran in to some of my Belgian colleagues in a bar facing the water. We were out most of the evening and ended up in Roadhouse that was a new wave English pub that had live music and managed to fulfill our needs for beer. There was a good ambiance in the bar and the music was loud. The place was nothing spectacular, but being a normal weekday it was understandable.

Good place to go out Mar 02, 2008
The Roadhouse is nearby the train station. You just cross the street on the left side (if you stand in front of the train station and look towards the triumphal arch) or take the underpass towards "Pilatusstrasse". On the right side of the Roadhouse you'll find McDonalds and Starbucks.
The admission is free. On the weekends there are lots of people and you have to line up. So it's better to go earlier then you have a better chance to get a table and a seat.
Every Wednesday evening at 21:30 everybody can enter the stage with the own instrument or the voice.
At the bar you'll find a great number of drinks. They also offer food like spaghetti or bagels.

How to Travel Safely in Cozumel, Mexico
Mexico's largest Caribbean island, Cozumel, is a popular cruise port and resort destination. Cozumel is widely regarded for its coral gardens and reefs and is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. Visitors can frequent shops, restaurants, bars and dive shops. The cruise ports are easily accessible to ancient Mayan sites like Chichen Itza. Cozumel is generally regarded as a safe destination for tourists and has not been affected by the drug trade violence of the northern part of the country along the United States border as of 2011. It can be a dangerous place, however, if tourists disregard basic safety tips.
Step 1
Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program through the United States Department of State at travelregistration.state.gov. The service is free and makes it easy for officials to contact you if there is an emergency at home or in Cozumel.
Step 2
Familiarize yourself with Cozumel before you leave for your trip so you know what to expect and where you would like to go. Most bookstores sell travel guides that include popular activities and travel tips.
Step 3
Fill out a detailed itinerary of your vacation and leave copies with family members so someone will know where you plan to be at all times. You should also make a copy of your passport data page and visas to leave with family.
Step 4
Purchase supplemental medical insurance and travel insurance to ensure you are covered in the event of an accident or theft.
Step 5
Get vaccinations before you leave for Cozumel. Although vaccinations are not required for entry to Mexico, tetanus shots, swine flu shots and other vaccinations are highly recommended.
Step 6
Convert your money to traveler's checks before you leave to avoid a great loss in case of theft. When you are in Mexico, convert only a few of your checks to pesos at one time.
Step 7
Call, text or email someone from your home each day of your vacation to check in and let people at home know you are safe.
Step 8
Carry your wallet and money in a front pocket to avoid pick-pocketing, which is a common problem in Cozumel. You should also avoid flashing large amounts of money when making purchases; keeping your money in different sections of your wallet can make it appear as though you have less money.
Step 9
Travel with a group, especially at night, and avoid unlit areas like beaches at night. Some of the most popular Cozumel nightspots include music and dance venues like Carlos'n Charlie's, Senor Frog's, Hard Rock Cafe and a slew of Latin dance clubs that are open during the strong tourism season.
Step 10
Avoid targeted crime by dressing modestly and inconspicuously and leaving your expensive jewelry at home.
Step 11
Swim only in designated areas, staying out of areas that are posted with red or black flags to indicate dangerous currents. Cozumel has nearly 40 official and unofficial beaches; some of the most popular are Paradise Beach, Chankanaab Park and Reef, Playa San Francisco and Playa Escondido.
Step 12
Drink only bottled water and eat food that is made from purified bottled water to avoid sickness. You should also avoid eating buffet-style food that has been left out for several hours because food may not be kept at the proper temperature, which leads to spoilage. Restaurants like Casa Mission, Kinta Mexican Bistro and Wet Wendy's Margarita House and Restaurant are top rated by reviewers on TripAdvisor.com.
Step 13
Call for a cab rather than hailing one from the streets to ensure you are hiring a registered, licensed cab driver. If you decide to rent a car, use extreme caution when driving, especially through intersections, because traffic indicators are not always obeyed by Cozumel drivers.
Step 14
Avoid car accidents and fights -- even the smallest of incidents could get you arrested. If you end up getting arrested, the U.S. Consulate office can help you obtain legal assistance and contact your family.
- When planning your trip, see if you can pay for activities and your hotel room ahead of time so you don't have to travel with as much money. Many cruise lines allow you to purchase excursion packages with the price of the cruise.

Cowboys outside linebacker Greg Ellis has been activated for his first game of the season today against the Rams. Ellis will likely see minimal time in pass-rush situations.
Ellis elevated his rehabilitation this week working in pass rush drills during the team portion of practice. Wade Phillips said Ellis had a 50-50 chance of playing and was listed as questionable. Ellis did not play in the preseason.

Austrian Development Cooperation (ADA)
ADA is the operational unit of the Austrian Development Cooperation and Cooperation with Eastern Europe (ADC). The ADA is responsible for the implementation of all bilateral programmes and projects in the ADC partner countries and administrates the corresponding budget.
Its working basis is the Three-Year Programme on Austrian Development Policy, which is elaborated by the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs. It defines the central position of the Austrian development policy and the strategic framework conditions of the ADC. This programme is based on the new Development Cooperation Act, in which sustainable economic and social development in line with the principle of environmental protection is enshrined as the central goal.
This division of work between the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs and ADA ensures coherent official development policy as well as efficient implementation of the legal guidelines for Development Cooperation.
In the frame of the bilateral projects and programmes in developing countries, the Austrian Development Cooperation also provides funding for developmental projects of Austrian NGOs, initiatives as well as private enterprises.

We have written a trigger on insertion which is supposed to update 3 tables with new data. We are seeing a weird thing happening with Postgres, i.e. If we have 4 records to be updated on insertion trigger, postgres updates the first 3 records in the 3 tables properly, and when it comes to final record, it is updating only the first 2 tables in sequence and is skipping the 3rd table. So, we are ending up with the improper data. Any body has come across such an issue earlier or can anybody tell us whats happening here ? Thanks, Venkatesh

Former Ringtone Firm Could Earn Hundreds of Millions of Dollars from Google Patent Dispute
Published on: 29th Jan 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Ringtone company turned patent troll, Vringo has won a significant victory against Google that could be transformative for the little patent holding company.
Back in December 2012 the company won a patent lawsuit against Google for infringing two patents that govern some aspects of Google's advertising business.
Vringo acquired the patents from another search engine company, Lycos when it merged with Lycos's patent holding company in March 2012. That decision saw its ringtone founding CEO resign from the company.
In the 2012 ruling, Vringo was awarded a lump sum of USD30 million in damages, but that was less than the firm wanted, so it appealed.
US District Judge Raymond Jackson has ruled that changes made by Google to avoid infringing the patents were simply cosmetic issues, and that Vringo's request for royalties on revenues rather than a lump-sum payment were valid.
The court set the royalty rate at 1.36 percent of USA based revenues generated by Google's AdWords platform -- which underpins the bulk of its US revenues.
While Google does not break out the revenues in detail, the scale of the platform affected is huge, and Vringo can expect to earn royalties that could reach hundreds of millions of dollars from this settlement - every year.
Due to the size of the payout, Google can be expected to fight this award aggressively.
Jennifer Polse, Google's lead patent lawyer on the Vringo case, said "We believe strongly in our pending appeal in this matter, and we anticipate seeking Federal Circuit review of today's decision as well,"

My boyfriends sunroof wont open up all the way, when we hit the button to open it budges a slight bit then starts making an awful clicking noise until you let go. You can then push on it a little to get it to go up properly. Then when you try closing it it will go down but when you let go it continues to make that awful clicking noise till you hit the down button a couple times then it will stop. How do fix it so it will go up and down without any issues?

To the editor:
This has been a hot issue of late in the letters to the editor. I have had the same problems as a driver with bicyclists since moving to the area. Not that the problem is exclusive to the area, but it seems worse here. Not blaming it on the arrogance of the riders, but many in town and on the roads do not observe safety or even road signs, such as yield signs or stop signs. This is what most drivers have the biggest problem with, not obeying the signs or safety regulations!
What I have thought for about the last couple of years, is if the bikers want to be part of the road and want the respect and equal use of it, pay for it. In case of an accident, what insurance covers a bicyclist that has caused the accident. Maybe it is time for bicycles to be insured and tagged as all other vehicles that have to SHARE the road. The isn't a smear against bicyclists, just a thought that might alleviate tensions and make the sharing of the road more equal. If I have to obey ALL signs, if I have to be insured and tagged, and pay taxes on all my vehicles, then isn't it fair for the bicyclists to do so also?

I installed Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux about a month ago while I needed to open a pdf document that required document authentication from its origin server. The document was successfully opened, but my Firefox browser could not open any pdf document anymore. Firefox was able to open pdf document using previous Adobe Reader version, but not Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux. Mozilla website confirms this problem. However, I finally manage to get my Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux works with Firefox and here is what I did.
After I have my Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux installed and working, it is necessary to install the plugin part. To install it, just run this file
<install directory>/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/install_browser_plugin and will ask you whether you want to install it using global installation or user-specific installation. Choose option 1 (global installation). The next question is where to put the plugin file. Answer the question with the existing directory
Restart you browser and you're done.

Psychologists should bethink themselves before putting down the instinct of self-preservation as the cardinal instinct of an organic being. A living thing seeks above all to DISCHARGE its strength—life itself is WILL TO POWER; self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent RESULTS thereof.
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.

Customize Linux from the Bottom—Building Your Own Linux Base System
A curious reader might ask why we do this and what it is good for. Like many others, we want to run some complex software on a box, something that can be generalized as a multitasking application on a typical PC-like machine without hard disk or monitor. We need an OS kernel and some elements as the base experimental platform. This platform should be robust, maintainable and customizable. Writing a good OS kernel for this purpose is too scaring for many. Thanks to Linux and the Open Source community, we now have an excellent option.
Basic materials are ready and available for free. Now it is time to pick up pieces we need, assemble our own engine and control it. Then, it is time to enjoy.
Before we start, we need to know the answer to some key questions: How to compile the kernel? How to compile a shared library? How to create an initial root file system? How to put the kernel image and compressed file system onto a floppy or EPROM? How to run an application using shared libraries? How to debug? There are many questions like these. The answers are already documented, not, as far as we know, in a single place, but scattered over a wide range of documents. We don't want to write a comprehensive document for these questions but, rather, tell our story and major part of our answers.
Once the plan has been made for customization, detailed steps can be put into action. General steps in our work are described in the following.
1. Setup the development environment Install a full Linux distribution such as Red Hat 6.0 as the development platform. Make sure it's gcc-supported. To make things easy, assume the target machine on which we run our customized system and the host machine, that is, the development machine, are using the same type of CPUs, in our case Intel x86. Otherwise, we have to prepare a cross-compiler. 2. Customize the kernel Get the latest stable kernel source (version 2.2.13 at this article's writing). How to configure and compile the kernel are well documented in the source files. We don't want to repeat the details here. But we need to choose support for initial ramdisk, loadable modules and other necessary options. If we use the serial console port, choose serial console support. If we have a piece of hardware we want to set up, like an Ethernet card, we can select them as modules. Then we can install and use these modules in our base system. 3. Prepare the standard libraries Get the latest stable standard library glibc (versions 2.2.1). This includes almost everything we want: the dynamic loader, the standard C library and math lib, etc. Although we don't need all that glibc provides, it's better to build them all together, then choose what we want. The documents in the glibc source tree tell in detail how to compile it. Because we use it for our target machine, we have to compile it using the kernel header files consistent with Step 2. This can be specified using --with-headers during configuration. Also, we have to install all library header files so that the compilation of other components for the target machine can use them. 4. Let the compiler know how to cross-compile After installing kernel and glibc header files, we need to prepare the compiler, gcc, to use them. Glibc2-HOWTO describes this in more detail. Briefly, we need to tell gcc where to find specifications using the option -b. In our case, because the target and the host machine are basically the same, we need to use only the host machine specs. This can be found by using the command gcc -v. For example, on my box, the reply is:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)Compile other components of the system by adding the option -b as:
gcc -b i386-redhat-linux5. Select and prepare utilities and other libraries To compile a utility program such as mount or libraries other than those in glibc, such as termcap, consistently, we have to tell the compiler where to find all the header (include) files and the libraries. First, we tell the compiler not to search header files in default paths by specifying --nostdinc. Second, tell the compiler we are compiling sources for the target machine by using option -b $MACHINE, as described in Step 2. Third, state exactly where to find the kernel header files and the standard library header files by specifying option -I. Fourth, tell the loader what libraries to use and where to find them by using -L and -l options. 6. Build applications Like compiling for utilities and libraries, we need to cross-compile our applications in order to use them on the base system. There are no particular considerations needed from the system view, except to make sure everything on which the application is dependent is installed already. 7. Package things together Once all the components are ready, we need to arrange them in such a way that the system be booted, and any everything can be correctly located. This issue is discussed in more detail in the following section. 8. Move on Use the base system as a start point for whatever you want to do. More features can be added, as needed, over the base system. A separate section is devoted to this issue.
My requirement is, my application shoud start in the Linux GUI before my Linux Desktop gets loaded. If i close my application then I can view my Linux desktop. To achieve this what configuration i neeed to make changes
Please suggest me
How to build a Linux Kernel Image for Pocket PC?
Respected Sir
I am a M.E. student in Software Systems in BITS, Pilani, India. I am currently working on some experiments on Pocket PCs and tablet PCs and Pocket PC phones in the context of Pervasive Computing.
I have gone through your introductory article that encourages others to try and compress basic features of linux in as small devices as floppies. Though the article was helpful in a way that it pinpointed the basic steps required to make an image of linux, it still didn't clearly some of my doubts which are as follows:
1. what basic loadable modules will I need to include with which I can provide basic linux features on a pocket pc.
2. whether its possible for one to load multiple operating systems externally by say, a compact flash card for example onto that Pocket PC? If yes then how to do it?
3. And last but not the least, when you mentioned that you can create a rescue disk for your own distribution of linux, can that image be used on even a small device such as a pocket pc that has support for some RAM and some secondary storage (around 32 to 64 MB ram and 32 to 64 MB secondary storage for instance)?
The reason for these questions is that as part of my experiment I am trying to build a Linux kernel image for a Pocket PC and I want to load it externally, so that when I boot Pocket PC, it gives a choice between Windows Mobile and Linux image.
I would be grateful if you could help me in clearing the doubts that I mentioned as that will be a big step towards my eventual implementation of a Linux Kernel image on a Pocket PC.
Thank you.
Sincerely Yours,

Ray Ozzie tells Microsoft to 'go beyond the PC'

(BBC) – Microsoft must think beyond the PC if it is to weather the changes due to hit in the next five years.
The warning was given by Microsoft's chief software architect Ray Ozzie in a memo penned soon after he announced he was leaving the company.
In it, Mr Ozzie said that the last five years had been "breathtaking" and expected the next five to be the same.
But, he said, the strengths that had helped Microsoft grow in the past now risked holding it back.
The memo, called "Dawn of a New Day" mirrors one Mr Ozzie wrote soon after taking over from Bill Gates as the man in charge of charting the development direction of Microsoft's portfolio of programs.
That first memo imagined a world of seamless computing and kicked off Microsoft's attempts to get its many different programs working together across lots of different devices.
In Dawn of a New Day, Mr Ozzie praised the work Microsoft had done towards that end, but said rivals had done even better.
"…their execution has surpassed our own in mobile experiences, in the seamless fusion of hardware and software and services, and in social networking and myriad new forms of internet-centric social interaction."
The reason for this, he suggested, was Microsoft's legacy of being intimately tied to the PC.
"For the most part, we've grown to perceive of "computing" as being equated with specific familiar "artifacts" such as the "computer", the "program" that's installed on a computer, and the "files" that are stored on that computer's "desktop".
Such thinking, he said, was becoming less and less relevant as the way people used computers and what they did changed.
"…the early adopters among us have decidedly begun to move away from mentally associating our computing activities with the hardware/software artifacts of our past such as PC's, CD-installed programs, desktops, folders & files," he wrote.
Connections rather than computers were more important, he suggested, and devices were becoming almost disposable.
"They're instantly usable, interchangeable, and trivially replaceable without loss," he said.
To prosper and stay relevant, he said, Microsoft must embrace this change and get to grips with a world that cares about "continuous services" rather than computers.
"Close our eyes and form a realistic picture of what a post-PC world might actually look like, if it were to ever truly occur," he wrote. "Those who can envision a plausible future that's brighter than today will earn the opportunity to lead."

Kristi Lunbery told a detective in 2001 that she had killed her husband nine years earlier — a confession, she later claimed, that was the product of police pressure.
A Shasta County jury heard about Lunbery's admission but didn't hear that a drug dealer had told friends at a pizza parlor, two days after the killing, "My partners blew away the wrong dude."
Lunbery was convicted of second-degree murder in 2004 and sentenced to 19 years to life in prison. On Tuesday, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco threw out her conviction and said the jury probably would have acquitted her if it had heard about another likely suspect.
Lunbery's husband, Charlie Bateson, was shot to death in his home in the town of Burney in April 1992. Officers found Lunbery at a shopping mall with their two young children. She was visibly upset and allowed them to search her car, where they found no sign of blood or a weapon.
The court said drug dealers had previously lived in the couple's house and, according to witnesses, had been seen in the area shortly before the killing. An informant told a detective afterward that the intended target was a dealer who had stayed at the house. That seemed to be confirmed, the court said, when a man named Henry Garza allegedly told friends at the pizza parlor that his partners had shot the "wrong dude."
But no one was prosecuted until 2001, when officers approached Lunbery and said a secret witness had named her as the killer. She denied it at first but eventually said she was guilty.
Lunbery recanted her confession at the trial, but prosecutors said she had killed her husband for $15,000 in insurance money and because she felt he was too "controlling," as they put it.
Garza had died by the time of the trial, but Lunbery's lawyers tried to introduce testimony from the man who allegedly heard Garza implicate his partners. The trial judge said it was inadmissible hearsay.
In a 3-0 ruling, the appeals court said the trial judge had violated Lunbery's right to put on a defense by excluding the evidence about Garza. The witness' account of what Garza said at the pizza parlor was hearsay, the court said, but it was reliable — it was corroborated by other evidence about drug dealers in the area, and by the fact that Garza was implicating himself at least as an accessory in the murder.
Despite Lunbery's confession, the court said, the excluded evidence probably would have created a reasonable doubt about her guilt. And as Judge Michael Hawkins noted in a separate opinion, the annals of prisoners cleared by DNA testing include many who had confessed falsely.
Lunbery remains in prison. Unless the state appeals the ruling successfully, it will be up to Shasta County prosecutors to retry her or let her go free.

On Friday we comb through our extensive archives to find an older article that we feel deserves another look. From January 12, 2011, Dungeon's Master once again presents: Undead Make the Scariest Villains.
Would you rather fight a beholder or a zombie? This is a much more complicated question than you might realize. Look at this through the eyes of your character and not through the eyes of a meta-gamer. In-character what is the scariest monster you can imagine? For me it's undead more than any other.
Most monsters are, well, monstrous. They are clearly different than you and they must be destroyed. The beholder is an abomination. It's scary, and a big party of what makes it scary is that it doesn't conform to a physical shape you're comfortable with. It's a giant floating ball with eyestalks swirling about. Even if you'd never seen a beholder before and knew nothing about it, your initial instinct as an adventurer would be to attack and destroy something so awful.
Other monsters may look familiar or resemble something you know, but their increased size, ferocious attitude or raw destructive power leave little doubt in your mind that the thing before you is a monster. This is certainly the case with dragons. As an adventurer your job is clear – kill it.
Undead, however, fall into a category all their own. The most frightening type of monster is one that looks like someone you know and love. A random zombie shuffling towards you is scary, but now image it's your mother, your wife or even your child. That's horrific. Think of the psychological impact that has on a person. You clearly see it coming toward you and your rational brain is saying "kill the monster" but the emotional part of your brain is saying "that's someone I know and love." You have doubt, which brings about hesitation. This psychological edge is what makes undead so terrifying.
In the example above I used zombies, which are scary in their own right, but what if the undead creature is something less horrific looking. Take another popular type of undead, the vampire for example. Part of what makes a vampire so deadly is their ability to assume a pleasant looking form. They don't look dead. They don't even look undead. Anyone caught unaware is suddenly vulnerably to a potentially horrific assault by said vampire.
Even if you are aware that the creature is a vampire, how would you react if it was a loved one? You know that your brother was attacked and ravaged by a vampire, yet there he is standing right before your very eyes, looking as perfect and healthy as ever. He's likely even trying to convince you that he managed to survive the attack and is fine. Your rational mind screams "liar!" but your heart wants to believe that your brother is fine. You've hoped for the best possibly outcome and now you're trying to convince yourself it actually happened that way. You want to believe that he's ok. Even when he moves to attack you, whether it's a pouncing charge indented to pin you down or it's a more subtle gesture of embrace like a hug, your mind and emotions will cloud your judgment. You don't want to fight. You don't want to kill.
Now let's look at the beholder again. As soon as it moves towards you, you attack to kill. No doubt, no hesitation. It's a monster. Your job is to kill it before it kills you or anyone else you love (like your brother the vampire or your mother the zombie – see how much undead can mess with your thinking).
Even lycanthrope, scary villains in their own right, don't carry the psychological shock of undead. In their normal human form they may indeed be your friend or family member but when they wolf-out and transform into the beast it's a lot easier to forget that just seconds earlier they were your uncle or your girlfriend. They don't become truly dangerous until they take on the bestial animal form. When that happens, the veil of doubt is removed and you have no trouble seeing the threat for what it is. Any personal ties you might have felt are more easily broken when you see the lycanthrope in its animal form. No chance of lulling you into a false sense of security when they've just become a giant wolf.
It's this psychological impact that give undead the edge over all other monsters in my opinion. No matter how seasoned an adventurer you are, no matter how many beholders you've killed or werewolves you've slain, you're going to second-guess yourself when you fight undead. When you recognize the face of the creature before you, your instincts will betray you. The realization that yesterday it as your wife and today it's a zombie trying to kill reminds you of your own vulnerability.
The challenge with D&D or other role playing games is capturing the sense of dread undead bring rather than focusing on just the raw mechanics of combat. Beholders and dragons are generally tougher in terms of levels and hit points than zombies and vampires, but the undead are much more likely to mess with a character's mind. It's up to the DM to really try and covey this sense of fear and uncertainty when running undead. The players should likewise try to see these encounters through the eyes of their characters and not just as another opportunity to kill a monster and earn XP.
By focusing on the role-playing more than the number crunching, encounters against undead can easily be more memorable, and likely more difficult, than any battle against a beholder or even a dragon.

When my daughter proudly presented me with an ultrasound of my grandson, to be honest, I didn't see anything that made sense to me. I was excited at the prospects of my first grandchild, but I had no connection to the gray swirls pictured. I had no emotional bond to what my daughter told me was my grandson. But, sure enough, a few months later, he was born. He looked a lot different, but it was the same child that I had strained to see in the cloud of gray swirls, and he's the same child who is one of my greatest joys today.

My brother mocked my use of ffmpeg to create flash video as I did a couple of days ago. He sent me this set of command line options for the Swiss Army knife of video encoders: mencoder. I went ahead and encoded the classic civil defense film "Duck and Cover", and then used the flvtool2 to add indexing.
Here is the result:
Here is a little shell script that shows the options. I used mencoder as installed fresh from a new Fiesty Fawn Ubuntu installation. If you install rubygems, you can then type "sudo gem install flvtool2" to get flvtool2 installed (it is in /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/flvtool2, which is not in my path, but it's there), and it seems to work well too.
Anyway, Kevin wanted me to test it, and it seems to work.

Every child begins to lose their baby teeth and get their adult teeth around the same time; however, there are occasional instances where the process is sped up or delayed.

How Baby Teeth Become Loose

Baby teeth are not only used for eating, but they also hold the space necessary for the permanent (adult) teeth to erupt into the mouth. When the adult teeth begin to make their way in the direction of the mouth, they dissolve the root of the baby tooth that is essentially in its way. This is this process that causes the baby teeth to become loose. Once most, if not all of the root has been dissolved, the tooth becomes very wiggly and is ready to come out.

Your child will begin to lose baby teeth very close to the order in which they first made their appearance into your child's mouth. As the baby teeth are lost, the adult teeth begin to take their place. The following information is a general guideline as to when you can expect to see your child lose his baby teeth and "grow" in the permanent teeth.

Age Six to Seven

Between the ages of six and seven, your child may lose his first tooth. The lower central incisors are usually the first teeth that are lost, followed by the upper central incisors.

At this point, eating is slightly affected, although your child may prefer to do most of his chewing on the back teeth. Biting into hard foods may become difficult when the front baby teeth are very wiggly and once they have been lost. Instead of giving your child a whole apple, carrot, or similar foods that require the need for biting with the front teeth, offer your child bite-sized pieces of hard foods. Smaller, bite-sized pieces are easily chewed with the back teeth, eliminating the need for the use of the front teeth.

Age Seven to Eight

The lateral incisors are the next baby teeth your child may likely lose. The lateral incisors are located in between the central incisor and cuspid.

Eating foods such as corn on the cob, chicken wings, and ribs becomes increasingly difficult. Again, offer a selection of foods that are easy to chew, in bite-sized pieces.

Age Nine to Twelve

After a small break in tooth loss, the next baby teeth your child may lose are his upper and lower primary first molars. These baby teeth have been used to do most of the heavy chewing, of food such as meat and hard or raw vegetables. Because the second primary molar and the primary cuspid still remain in the mouth, your child might complain that food is becoming stuck between these teeth. If this is the case, have your child rinse or brush and floss his teeth after each meal, to avoid the accumulation of plaque on the teeth.

Between the age of nine and twelve, the lower cuspids are the next baby teeth in line to be lost. Your child might feel like all of his baby teeth have been lost at this point, however, there is still a few more left to come.

Age Ten to Twelve

After losing 17 baby teeth, your pre-teen should finally lose the remaining three baby teeth, between age ten and twelve. The upper cuspid and the upper and lower primary molars are the last baby teeth your child will lose.

Not a Baby Anymore

By the age of 13, your child will have most of his permanent teeth; with the exception of his wisdom teeth, which erupt between the ages of 17 and 21.

Impeccable oral hygiene is very important during your child's tooth eruption and exfoliation stages. Remember to encourage your child to brush and floss twice a day, and keep up with his regular visits to see the dentist. Cavity preventiont along with checking for the signs of malocclusion are important aspects during your child's dental visits. Your dentist will also check for baby teeth that may have failed to fall out. This could be a sign that your child may need orthodontic treatment. An appointment to see an orthodontist for an evaluation may be recommended.

If you are concerned about how your child's baby teeth are falling out, or have questions about the permanent teeth that will soon take their place, book an appointment with your dentist.

Question of the day
Funny thing about these panic attacks. I think they're brought on by the dark but it gets better when the sun goes down. Or maybe it's just the cumluative effect of the tranqs. In any event, I'm past the Camille stage tonight and I have a burning question on my mind.
Why is it your hair always looks gorgeous, as in has never looked more perfect, when there's absolutely no chance you'll see anyone and in fact you're about to go to bed?

McDonalds Menu Prices To The Rescue
If you are looking to save some serious money when you go out to dinner with your friends and family, then you must certainly look at the McDonalds menu prices. McDonalds understands that we are living through a tough economy and they do what they can to make sure that American families have a fighting chance. McDonalds prices fit anyone's budget. If you are single, dating, married, or have a big family, they have something for everyone. Not only will you save money when you visit the,, but your taste buds will rejoice as well!
McDonalds Menu Prices Always Save The Day!
Many people go there for lunch, but just as many visit Mickey D's for breakfast and dinner. I personally love the McDonalds breakfast menu the most. The McDonalds menu prices when it come to eating there in the morning are just as good as any other time. I love the pancakes and sausage the most, but everyone in a while, I get the deluxe breakfast which include th cakes and sausage, but also brings with it eggs, hash-browns, and a biscuit. Can you say yummy?
Before I go, I always take McDonalds printable coupons with me. I find these McDonalds coupons on the Internet very easily. Then again, even if you don't locate them online, you can still get great deals without them. For example, on Sundays you can get hamburgers and cheeseburgers for less than a buck. The McDonalds dollar menu also has treats for everybody. You can get a complete meal including a side, drink, and desert for less than $5. Now that is affordable! You can find the latest McDonalds menu prices on my site and start saving some serious money today. The McDonalds store hours are great so you can stop in at anytime. In fact, Some McDonalds hours are 24 hours. If you need any help or have any suggestions, please drop me an email.

Why does DH get stalked?(114 Posts)
Dh handed me his phone last week and I saw a text from a woman saying 'now you are married and a family man can you please stop ignoring me? How can I be a threat now?' He told the backstory turns out he had a stalker a few years ago who he had to call the police on and get a restraining order. We have just had some family pics go up on facebook and they have mutual friends so she probably saw the news via that.
There have been many women since I met DH who have behaved in stalkery ways towards him. Once we both received a letter from a friend of his saying that she and DH were soulmates and that our decision to marry each other was upsetting the "natural order of things" and did he not remember the way he looked at her this time/that time?
Another ex-shag turned up at our door crying because she had split from a boyfriend and wanted to stay over. Neither of us let her and she became angry and sent lots of horrible texts to DH and FB messages to me saying I was controlling him and had brainwashed him into ruining their friendship.
Another ex-shag, when DH and I were engaged became preoccupied with wanting to be my stylist for the wedding, sending me weekly emails of places I should shop for bridal gowns and wanting to be my best friend. We both told her, politely, we weren;t interested but she sent us an engagement gift, a wedding gift and even moved into a house down the road.
Another woman eerily befriended me in a cafe where we lived one day and she and I went out for a few drinks. When I eventually told DH about my new friend he told me it was a girl he was seeing in 2006 who had become obsessed with him and he had to tell her to strongly back off.
Obviously I think DH is the best man ever, otherwise I wouldn't have married him, so I'm not questioning why women like him, but this much?! Surely this is something about DH as a person?
What makes someone a stalker and what qualities make someone the type to be stalked?
From reading your OP again, I think it sounds like your DH is a bit of a people pleaser, and needs to have better boundaries from the start with people.
I'm afraid my very first thought on reading the OP was that her dh may not be the innocent bystander that this is happening TO. This is not normal and he is at the centre of this.
Hope you're ok OP.
I would imagine that she is feeling threatened and if I were her the first thing I would do is find out everything I could about the women involved!
Are you suggesting she just ignores it?
Op, it sounds like you are stalking your DHs exes.
You seem to know a lot about them, looks, nationality, jobs.
Are you feeling threatened?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
SMH You folks just can't keep the newbie poster, canya sighh.
I've had a couple of stalkers.
But then I also attract crazy people. Ohh wait, they are one and the same
Go figgure
No wonder the OP never came back to this thread
I get this and think some of the comments re the OP's ex are a bit strong. But MN is full of wisdom and those who think that he is culpable in some way are in the majority. I started a thread (with another name, a while ago, it was in another life). The responses shocked me and gave me a very different perspective. It helped me to change and escape a destructive situation.
I too think that it is not all about the women, there is something the man is doing. Negative patterns in successive relationships do usually point to some quality in the 'victim'. I would never blame the woman who attracts abusive relationships. I had a pattern myself of getting involved with EA men because I was a people-pleaser with low self esteem. Also seemed to be on a mission to find men who had 'issues' in the belief I could 'fix' them.
Once I realised that this was happening because of me I was able to stop it from happening again. I'm out of an EA marriage now and in a happier relationship, albeit a casual one, where I am not a pushover. It's been a revelation; I will never go back to the old, destructive pattern as it has opened my eyes and given me the confidence to break the vicious cycle.
I've got a theory.
My DH hasn't attracted this level of stalker but he knows how to talk to women as if they really matter. An old friend of mines who is well endowed said to me years ago "he was always the only guy in the pub who had a conversation with my face".
I have a friend who was single for years who similarly knew how to talk to women and he did get stalkers. Really bad ones.
I think there are certain women out there who are so low in self esteem or so starved of affection and respect that when a man comes along who treats them like a human being they get the idea tht there is more to it than there is. If its an ex who has had that effect I can imagine it could be quite potent.
Mind you I'd swap my ex who used to stalk me for a bunch of those considering one minute he was trying to win me over and hug me and next he was threatening me so if anyone wants him go right ahead.
It's been a years anniversary of him not sending me nasty emails! :D
Sounds probable
Because that is the reality, a very large percentage of the time. And women have been disbelieved over these things way to often
Cognitive dissonance?
Why it is that when a woman has abusive Ex Partners it is deserving of sympathy but when its a male who has abusive Ex Partners he generates "red flags"?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
my DP is a very attractive man and women do flirt with him a LOT if we go out. eg this weekend at festival they were everywhere ! he is 100% committed to me so I don't really notice any more tbh - but he doesnt have any stalkers
What Balloon said about friends who wont catch your eye reminded me of something.
When we had been together about 3 months he met an old female friend for lunch, I knew about it, nothing dodgy. But when they came to meet me for a drink afterwards she wouldnt look me in the eye, only spoke to me when I spoke to her and at one point moved her chair so her back was to me and she was facing him. I wasnt very happy but let it go, H thought it was odd. Then we worked a beer festival which she came to with her partner. She totally blanked me even when I was standing next to him and said hello and then tried to monopolise him all afternoon. The filthy "up and down, you piece of shit" look she gave me when he announced our engagement that day was the nail in the coffin and he hasnt spoken to her since, got rid on FB etc.
But 7 years later she still messages him from time to time saying things like "Arent we friends anymore?" "Why dont you ring me anymore?" and the odd one that acts like nothing has happened asking him out for a drink and pointedly not inviting me "I thought we could meet for lunch like we used to, just you and me"
I know for a fact that they never slept together but she had a major thing about him for years, he never saw her that way. I know this because I am friends with her ex boss who told me about this once she wasnt her boss anymore and wasnt breaking any rules. She told me because the ex friend once said that she was determined to break me and him and get him for herself "no matter what it takes". Fucking weirdo!
We havent blocked her on FB because I like to see when she gets in touch. Sometimes it really is innocent, because when he cheated on me with "friends" aka exes, it wasnt her
I think a lot of men think they are irresistible to women. But often the reality is quite different.
Balloon, has a very valid point, at some point you gotta ask, is it him.
My Ex-H had some female friends who were a bit funny with me - wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't look me in the eye. (And before you say I'm probably just horrible, two of them I had never even spoken to . . . I never got the chance - they just wouldn't make eye contact and scurried off. It definitely wasn't me! ) He said, of all of them, that they had made a pass at him that he had declined. One of them was married with 4 kids!
With the benefit of hindsight, I now believe he had shagged them all and led them to believe that a relationship was possible, somehow kept them dangling on a string. All the time while declaring undying love to me.
Your post reminds me of that time in my life, OP.
You know that some of these are exes. I don't think they know they are exes. He has said something or done something to make them think it is not over. I suspect that something is a shag whenever he is in town. Sorry.
You have to look for the common denominator and sorry to have to say it but normal blokes, even Brad Pitt, don't get stalked by every ex. They just don't. He must be doing something to make this happen.
My BIL has a few crazy exes. He too is in finance, a bit too nice for his own good, paying off debts and expensive presents right from day one. He also has that air of vulnerability about him, which some women love (they mothered him a bit) and I can't stand. I always thought that BIL behaviour could be seen to be misleading from a female perspective, I.e. He just whisked me away for an expensive weekend therefore he must love me. I've also tried to explain this to one of my uni friends who also collects these kind of women with similar behaviour and then moans about it afterwards.
BIL is now in a committed relationship with someone who is more of an equal, doesn't mother him etc and they are happy. BIl has told DH that a few exes are always trying to make contact and get him to change his mind. One I understand is quite unhinged.
Perhaps this is the reason?
I kind of regret posting that dh attracts stalkers seeing how the thread has gone!
He never dated any of his. I have said to him before he can come across as over friendly/flirty. Not in a way that would make someone uncomfortable but something about him makes People trust him. They need too, he's a dr, I wonder if that's part of it.
He also doesn't read people well at all, someone can flirt outrageously with him and he doesn't see it. It can look like he is leadin someone on as they are flirting and he's being his usual self and not giving any signals back that he's not interested. He doesn't encourage it but doesn't discourage it either.
Well then we will have to agree to disagree as I don't agree.
Actually MissStrawberry, when the comment about self examination was fully explained you continued to imply that Boomba is a rape apologist!
It was my 'one comment' and the 'original meaning' remains unchanged. Maybe you misunderstood it, though

Ph.D.,1964. Harvard University
M.S., 1950. Duke University
B.S., 1948. Texas A & M University
Biographical Information
James T. Bonnen, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Economics at Michigan State University. Born in Brookings, South Dakota on March 11, 1926, James Bonnen received his primary and secondary education in College Station, Texas. While still too young for full military service, Bonnen volunteered for the U.S. Navy. In July 1943, he was assigned to the Navy's wartime V-12 Officer Training Program at the Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette), and in March 1944 he was transferred to the Naval ROTC program at Tulane University. After being commissioned as an Ensign in October 1945, he served on Eniwetok (now spelled Eniwetak) Atoll in the north Pacific theatre from December 1945 to June 1946. After serving in active duty in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1946, he continued to serve in the U.S. Navy Reserve until he retired in 1988 with the rank of Commander.
After returning from active military service at the end of World War II, Bonnen earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Texas A&M University (1948). He completed an M.S. degree in economics at Duke University (1950) and a Ph.D. in economics at Harvard University (1964) working with Professors John D. Black, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Carl Kaysen. During his time at Harvard, he also served as a Resident Tutor in Adams House. Bonnen won the American Farm Economics Association Award for Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis in 1957 on the topic of "United States Agricultural Capacity: A General Equilibrium Model of American Agriculture for 1965."
Bonnen joined the Department of Agricultural Economics at Michigan State University in 1954 and retired from the University in 1996. Throughout his career of teaching and research he focused on issues of public policy, primarily for rural development and for agriculture. His first area of research focused on production adjustment problems in the agricultural sector (Black and Bonnen; Bonnen and Cromarty, 1958; Bonnen, 1965; Bonnen and Schweikhardt). Closely related to that work was his second area on research policy and the role of technological change in economic development (Bonnen, 1962, 1983, 1986; Schweikhardt and Bonnen; Johnson and Bonnen). In addition, his research on agricultural adjustment problems led to work on problems of rural poverty, particularly rural poverty issues related to the transformation of the agricultural sector in the economic development process (Bonnen, 1966, 1968, 1987, and Bonnen and Browne).
As a frequent participant in the national policymaking process, Bonnen also conducted research on the changing political economy of agriculture. This work focused on changes in the Congressional and Executive branches of U.S. government and on the changing role of interest groups in the U.S. policy making process (Bonnen, 1969, 1980; Bonnen and Browne, 1988; Bonnen, Browne and Schweikhardt). Related research included work on the role of the economist as an advisor in the policy process (Bonnen, 1969, 1988, 1992; 2000; Bonnen and Schweikhardt, 1998) and on the changing role of the nation-state (Bonnen, Hedley and Schweikhardt).
Finally, a major topic of research throughout his career focused on the organization and coordination of economic data systems, particularly agricultural data systems (Bonnen 1975, 1977, 1982, 1984, 1988; Bonnen, et.al. 1972; Bonnen, et.al.; Riemenschnieder and Bonnen). This work reflected his interest in the development of agricultural data systems that began with his father's generation of agricultural economics. His father, Clarence A. Bonnen (B.S. and M.S., University of Illinois, PhD. coursework at the University of California-Berkeley), a professor of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University, conducted pioneering work in data collection on farm management and production economics [in cooperation with the Bureau of Agricultural Economics (now Economic Research Service) of the USDA.]. James Bonnen's work in this area often required the collaboration of economists, statisticians, and organizational theorists to address the problems of coordinating national data systems. In 1972, he was appointed Chairman of the first Committee on Economic Statistics of the American Agricultural Economics Association (Bonnen et. al. 1972),
Bonnen helped to guide the formation of policy affecting American agriculture through his work as a teacher/mentor, and as a consultant to industry, government and foundations. He served as Senior Staff Economist with the President's Council of Economic Advisers in 1963-1965, as a member of the President's National Advisory Commission on Rural Poverty in 1966-1967, and as Director of the President's Federal Statistical System Reorganization Project in 1978-1980. He was also a member of the National Advisory Committee to the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin, and chairman of various committees of the American Agricultural Economics Association and the American Statistical Association. From 1968 to 1971, he served as Director of a study on "The Role of the University in Public Affairs" sponsored by the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges and the Carnegie Corporation.
Throughout his career, Bonnen served on numerous committees of the National Academy of Sciences. The reports of these committees included Rural America in Passage: Statistics for Policy (1981), Private Lives and Public Policies: Confidentiality and Accessibility of Government Statistics (1993), The Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Priorities for the Future (1997) and Sowing Seeds of Change: Informing Public Policy in the Economic Research Service of USDA (1999) (all available from National Academy of Sciences Press).
Bonnen received the Distinguished Faculty Award at Michigan State University in 1972. In 1981 he received the American Statistical Association's Washington Statistical Society's "Julius Shiskin Award for Outstanding Achievement in Economic Statistics." He was elected President of the American Agricultural Economics Association in 1975 and made a Fellow of that Association in 1978. The Michigan Senate honored him with a resolution of tribute in 1974 when he was elected President of the American Agricultural Economics Association.
In 1984 he was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and in 1992 was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1984, he received the Distinguished Policy Contribution Award from the American Agricultural Economics Association for his contributions to U.S. agricultural statistical policy. In 1965, he received the American Farm Economic Association Award for Outstanding Journal Article (for the article "Present and prospective Policy problems of U.S. Agriculture: As Viewed by an Economist," Journal of Farm Economics) and in 1998 he received (with co-author David B. Schweikhardt) the Outstanding Journal Article Award from the Review of Agricultural Economics (for the article "The Future of U.S. Agricultural Policy: Reflections on the Disappearance of the 'Farm Problem'"). In 2000, he was invited to deliver the Leonard K. Elmhirst Lecture to open the Twenty-Fourth International Conference of Agricultural Economists, held at Berlin, Germany. His lecture, entitled "The Transformation of Agriculture and the World Economy: Challenges for the Governance of Agriculture and for the Profession," combined many aspects of his various research interests to examine agricultural policy issues, governance, and analysis with the complexities of addressing each in an increasingly integrated international economy (Bonnen, 2001).

You and me both! I couldn't sleep last night and went to sleep at close to three am. I got up at six thirty-that's later than usual, but after going to sleep at three, I should have slept in a bit.
I'm sure I'll be ok, but I got up way too early.
Hope you have a good day:)

Is Trane or Carrier rated betterPost created: 2013-06-01 Type of Equipment: Air Conditioner Views: 1718
This question was created on the page: https://www.furnacecompare.com/ac_ratings.html.
On 2013-06-01 JB wrote:
This is a lot like the Ford Chevy debate, though I would say that recently Ford has been winning. I suppose with Trane and Carrier the same could be said in that they are both continually vying for top HVAC dog.
In the ratings on this site Trane comes in a bit higher than Carrier, but I think the difference in these ratings is negligible. I think that to figure out which is best for you, you need to think about your needs. For example, do you want to have two or more zones? What features are you looking for? Do you want a furnace/AC system and if so does it make sense to mix brands for best performance? What is the heat/cooling load (measured in BTU for heat and tons for cooling)and what level of efficiency are you looking for? What kind of warranty do you want (includes labor, long life, etc.)?
Also, and this is really important, as you do your research and talk with reps from both companies and HVAC installers/contractors, which one do you feel more comfortable with? If all other aspects are relatively equal, go with the people you like and trust the most.
To keep legal happy, let me just say that I am not an HVAC contractor, and you should never even look at your furnace without having a qualified, liability accepting HVAC contractor present. To keep sales happy, let me just say that you can find an HVAC contractor that's happy to take your money here: http://www.furnacecompare.com/perl/find_contractors.pl.

FK – British troops were known as 'regulars' because of the way they were trained to march. Thus well regulated meant 'well-trained.'
So 'well-regulated' militia means they get their fat asses off the couch and get out there and learn the skills, tactics, overall strategies of combat.
Good luck getting the average 'conservative' or 'libertarian' to develop the backbone or gonads to do that. They can't even publicly state what must happen if the commie trash or some other statist force ever orders us to 'turn them in.'

Ruth - posted on 03/12/2012 ( no moms have responded yet )
I am under 5' 3 and had my first child by c-section because he was not descending into the birth canal, and I failed to progress past 4-5 centimeters even though my water had broken hours before. My son was 9' 11 when he was born, and the doctor who performed my c-section advised me to always have my babies by c-section, with no explanation other than that my son would not fit through my pelvis. I am 4 months pregnant now and really wanting to try for a VBAC. I am with midwives and am now doing research about VBACs, and we are going to look at my post operative report during my next check up. Just wondering if anyone was in the same boat that I am now, and if you had a successful VBAC, even with a large baby?
