Magnificence Everywhere
Throughout the book, we have witnessed the magnificent creation of Allah that can be observed throughout the entire universe. We have examined the evidence of creation, from the movements of a star in the depths of space to the orbits of an atom, from the symmetry in the wings of a butterfly to the excessive care and attention a bird shows to its newborn young, from a creature that is made up of a mere shell forming beautiful pearls to the importance of water for life on Earth.
Yet, here is an important point that we should not forget. No matter how many examples we give, these will never be enough to illustrate the eternal power and matchless knowledge of Allah. Allah is the only One Who has the most beautiful names and complete power. Every order, whether you see it or not, performs every moment with the permission of Allah. Allah creates all human beings and animate and inanimate objects and keeps them under His control. As it is related in the Qur'an, "...There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock..." (Surah Hud: 56) All events, as stated in the Qur'an, from the movements of celestial bodies lying millions of light-years away from us, to the events occurring in the sun, from the rays entering the world's atmosphere, to the progress that takes place in the Earth's layers, from the evaporation of water on the Earth, to the leaves falling down from the trees, are under the control of Allah. Allah, Who possesses infinite power, creates everything instantly with His infinite knowledge and puts them in order in the most perfect way.
The creation of Allah is endless and unlimited. To grasp a better understanding, think about yourself. You, like all other human beings, are one of billions of humans with hands, arms, eyes, ears and legs, yet you are still different from every one of them. Then, think about the other people who lived at some time on the Earth, from the time man was first created until now. Until now, undoubtedly billions, maybe hundreds of billions of people have lived on the Earth. And, although these people also, like you, had their hands, arms, eyes and ears, none of them looked like you. Indeed, Allah has the power to create this many people and even more.
Allah is capable of creating many other things that man does not know or cannot understand with his limited judgment. These are the facts that need to be thought over in order to comprehend the matchlessness of Allah's creation. Allah is capable of creating an infinite number of creatures and an infinite number of spaces. He is also capable of creating every one of them with unique characteristics.
What befalls a person who is aware of these facts is to lead a life as Allah commands and to do good to please Him. Everyone must eliminate the causes that make him heedless of Allah's remembrance and that hamper him from thinking, through his own efforts.
Say: "Mankind! The truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is only guided for his own good. Whoever is misguided is only misguided to his detriment. I have not been set over you as a guardian." (Surah Yunus: 108)
They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom."

I don't usually have speakers or a headset hooked up into my computer, so I can't hear any of the audio in Limbo. Is the sound an important part of the game from a gameplay perspective? Is it essential to be able to hear it in order to win the game, or is its only purpose to provide atmosphere to the game?

Atmosphere is very important in Limbo. If you play without sound, you are missing out.
If I recall correctly, the final batch of puzzles basically relies on an audio cue. Beyond that absolute, there are a good set that have you fumbling through the dark where the audio serves to clue you into what's happening/what's coming.
And as mentioned, the audio is a big part of the experience. The game's still good without it, but stellar with.

Kidney Stone Analysis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The composition of urinary stones may vary from a simple crystal to a complex mixture containing several different species of crystals. The composition of the nidus (center) may be entirely different from that of the peripheral layers.
Eighty percent of patients with kidney stones have a history of recurrent stone formation. Knowledge of stone composition is necessary to guide therapy of patients with recurrent stone formation.
Treatment of urinary calculi is complex.(1) In an overly simplified format, the following patterns are often treated as follows:
-Hyperuricuria and predominately uric acid stones: alkalinize urine to increase uric acid solubility.
-Hypercalciuria and predominately hydroxyapatite stones: acidify urine to increase calcium solubility. However, treatment also depends on urine pH and urine phosphate, sulfate, oxalate, and citrate concentrations.
-Hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate stones: increase daily fluid intake and consider reduction of daily calcium. However, daily requirements for calcium to maintain good bone formation complicate the treatment.
-Magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite): Investigate and treat urinary tract infection.
See Kidney Stones and Stone Analysis in Publications.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Managing patients with recurrent renal calculi
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The interpretation of stone analysis results is complex, and beyond the scope of this text. We refer you to chapter 25 of Smith LH: Diseases of the Kidney. Vol 1. Fourth edition. Edited by RW Schrier, CW Gottscholk. Boston, MA, Little, Brown and Company, 1987.
Calcium oxalate stones:
-Production of calcium oxalate stones consisting of oxalate dihydrate indicate that the stone is newly formed and current urine constituents can be used to assess the importance of supersaturation.
-Production of calcium oxalate stones consisting of oxalate monohydrate indicate an old (>2 months since formed) stone and current urine composition may not be meaningful.
Magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite):
-Production of magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite) indicates that the cause of stone formation was infection.
-Treatment of the infection is the only way to inhibit further stone formation.
Ephedrine/guaifenesin stones:
-Certain herbal and over-the-counter preparations (eg, Mah Jung) contain high levels of ephedrine and guaifenesin. Excessive consumption of these products can lead to the formation of ephedrine/guaifenesin stones.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

In the beginning, all the founder of Lifetime Products wanted was a sturdier basketball pole for his backyard. With this in mind, he found and purchased a piece of heavy-duty used pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The result was a basketball standard for his backyard. That was 1972.
Seeing the potential that others might also desire a quality basketball system in their yards, he placed an ad in the "Big Nickel," the local free classified newspaper, and made his first sale. The rest — as they say — is history.
Not too many years after selling his first basketball system, he created the American PlayWorld company in 1973, which he based in his garage located in Riverdale, Utah. Gradually this store kept expanding into many more types of playground equipment, and was eventually moved to a bigger location in South Ogden, Utah.
Several years later, the company transformed the Basketball industry with the introduction of the Quick Adjust basketball pole — the first complete basketball system you could raise up and down with a broomstick.
In March 1986, a separate company was created to concentrate specifically on manufacturing adjustable basketball systems. This new company was named Lifetime Products, the name inspired by the goal of building a durable, lasting product.
Today, Lifetime Products Inc. has applied innovation and cutting-edge technology in plastics and metals to create a family of affordable lifestyle products that feature superior strength and durability. The world's leading manufacturer of folding tables and Chairs, Lifetime was founded as the maker of portable basketball systems that revolutionized the industry with patented technology. With new offerings such as outdoor sheds and utility trailers, Lifetime continues to develop innovative products that outfit the lifestyles of today's Americans.
In the time since those first crucial years in Lifetime's history, the company has grown from having 18 employees in a 32,000 square-foot space in half a warehouse in the Clearfield, Utah Freeport Center to over 1,400 employees and 2.6 million square feet spread over 23 separate buildings.

17-Hydroxyprogesterone, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is caused by inherited defects in steroid biosynthesis. The resulting hormone imbalances with reduced glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids and elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone (OHPG) and androgens can lead to life-threatening, salt-wasting crisis in the newborn period and incorrect gender assignment of virtualized females. Adult-onset CAH may result in hirsutism or infertility in females.
The adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, and placenta produce OHPG. It is hydroxylated at the 11 and 21 position to produce cortisol. Deficiency of either 11- or 21-hydroxylase results in decreased cortisol synthesis, and feedback inhibition of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion is lost. Consequent increased pituitary release of ACTH increases production of OHPG. But, if 17-alpha-hydroxylase (which allows formation of OHPG from progesterone) or 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (which allows formation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone formation from 17-hydroxypregnenolone) are deficient, OHPG levels are low with possible increase in progesterone or pregnenolone respectively.
OHPG is bound to both corticosteroid binding globulin and albumin and total OHPG is measured in this assay. OHPG is converted to pregnanetriol, which is conjugated and excreted in the urine. In all instances, more specific tests are available to diagnose disorders or steroid metabolism than pregnanetriol measurement.
Most (90%) cases of CAH are due to mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2). CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is diagnosed by confirming elevations of OHPG and androstenedione (ANST / Androstenedione, Serum) with decreased cortisol (CINP / Cortisol, Serum, LC-MS/MS). By contrast, in 2 less common forms of CAH, due to 17-hydroxylase or 11-hydroxylase deficiency, OHPG and androstenedione levels are not significantly elevated and measurement of progesterone (PGSN / Progesterone, Serum) and deoxycorticosterone (FDOC / Deoxycorticosterone [DOC], Serum), respectively, are necessary for diagnosis.
CAH21 / Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Profile for 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency allows the simultaneous determination of OHPG, androstenedione, and cortisol.
See Steroid Pathways in Special Instructions.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The analysis of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (OHPG) is 1 of the 3 analytes along with cortisol and androstenedione, that constitutes the best screening test for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), caused by either 11- or 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
Analysis for 17-OHPG is also useful as part of a battery of tests to evaluate females with hirsutism or infertility; both can result from adult-onset CAH
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) always requires the measurement of several steroids. Patients with CAH due to steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2) mutations usually have very high levels of androstenedione, often 5- to 10-fold elevations. 17-hydroxyprogesterone (OHPG) levels are usually even higher, while cortisol levels are low or undetectable. All 3 analytes should be tested.
In the much less common CYP11A1 mutation, andostenedione levels are elevated to a similar extent as in CYP21A2 mutation, and cortisol is also low, but OHPG is only mildly, if at all, elevated.
In the also very rare 17-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, androstenedione, all other androgen-precursors (17-alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, OHPG, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate), androgens (testosterone, estrone, estradiol), and cortisol are low, while production of mineral corticoid and its precursors, in particular progesterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone, and 18-hydroxycorticosterone, are increased.
The goal of CAH treatment is normalization of cortisol levels and ideally also of sex-steroid levels. Traditionally, OHPG and urinary pregnanetriol or total ketosteroid excretion are measured to guide treatment, but these tests correlate only modestly with androgen levels. Therefore, androstenedione and testosterone should also be measured and used to guide treatment modifications. Normal prepubertal levels may be difficult to achieve, but if testosterone levels are within the reference range, androstenedione levels of up to 100 ng/dL are usually regarded as acceptable.
See Steroid Pathways in Special Instructions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
At birth the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis are activated and adrenal and sex steroid levels are high. In pre-term infants the elevations can be even more pronounced due to illness and stress. As a result, preterm infants may occasionally have 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels of up to 1,000 ng/dL. Term infants (0-28 days) will have levels <630 ng/dL. These then fall over the following 1 to 6 months to prepubertal levels of <110 ng/dL (males) and <100 ng/dL (females).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Preterm infants
Preterm infants may exceed 630 ng/dL, however, it is uncommon to see levels reach 1,000 ng/dL.
Term infants
0-28 days: <630 ng/dL
Levels fall from newborn (<630 ng/dL) to prepubertal gradually within 6 months.
Prepubertal males: <110 ng/dL
Prepubertal females: <100 ng/dL
Males: <220 ng/dL
Follicular: <80 ng/dL

Community Montessori Charter School faced an initial rejection and then much scrutiny from Montgomery County school board members two years ago when applying to be the first public charter school in the county.
Yet in its first school year, the school has had little oversight by school board members. It lacks a certified principal. And the building does not meet all federal and local building and health codes.
The Montgomery County Board of Education has not received an update at a meeting about the school's operations since approving its application in July 2011, and no update is scheduled.
As written in a November 2011 contract, Crossway Community, the nonprofit approved to operate the school, was required to work with the school system to hire a principal with an administrator certificate from the state, upgrade its kitchen to meet health code requirements, update its building to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and provide a media center in the building.
None of those requirements are complete.
The school originally had expected to be able to finish renovations by August, but then had issues raising funds for the projects, said Lori-Christina Webb, executive director in the office of deputy superintendent of schools.
The charter school receives funding from Montgomery County Public Schools, in a formula based on the number of students it serves each year. This year, the school system gave the school $274,242 for 67 3- and 4-year-olds in a half-day program.
Crossway Community supplemented the 2012-2013 school year budget by $150,000, said Kathleen Guinan, executive director of the nonprofit.
County funding will increase next year, as the school has accepted 42 new children for next school year out of 183 total applicants, Guinan said.
Webb said the school system has allowed the school more time to update its school building, in Kensington, which previously served students in their nonprofit Montessori school.
The school system and the school decided it was best to hire a coordinator rather than a principal, given there were no school-aged children at the school this year and the school was not serving many students, Webb said.
In an interview Tuesday, board member Michael Durso said he was unaware the school had not hired a certified principal and had not yet completed renovations.
During the application process, Durso and other school board members had intensly questioned Crossway Community staff as to how the school would be run.
Durso said Tuesday he was "guilty" of allowing the school to fall off his radar. He said the information raised questions.
The contract states the school was required to hire an instructional leader or principal with an Administrator I or II certificate from MSDE.
The school system hired Jacqueline Cossentino in August to serve as the school's leader, giving her a title of "coordinator." Cossentino does not have either certificate filed with the state, although it could be in the process of being filed, said Bill Reinhard, spokesman for the Maryland State Department of Education.
Guinan said Cossentino was qualified under school system requirements for the spot. She had the content expertise and experience for the position, she said.
"You're trying to make it black and white, and it's not black and white," she said.
Cossentino is no longer running the school, as she went on leave and later decided to leave the role permanently, Webb said. Cossentino could not be reached for comment.
Since, the school has been run by Ann Byrne, deputy director of Crossway Community.
The school is in the process of upgrading its building to meet local and federal building and health code requirements, Guinan said.
An elevator is being constructed in the school that will make the building compliant under ADA, Guinan said.
The cooling system in the school is being updated to meet school system building code requirements, she said.
Renovations have been started to improve the kitchen and to build a media center, Guinan said.
After not hearing an update about the charter school's progress at a meeting with the school system this month, County Councilwoman Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring asked her staff to set up a meeting with school system leaders.
That meeting has not yet been set up, due to the busy budget season, according to her staff.

It was hot – that's for damn sure, It'd been hot like this for over a month now and the heat showed no signs of letting up. I sat in the kitchen with the back door open willing some breeze to come in cool me down but the air was still and thick. I was wearing just a black lace slip – no point getting myself hotter by putting on more clothes I thought, but even so I could feel beads of sweat forming on my upper lip. I was stirring a fresh jug of lemonade I had just made when I heard a knock at the door.
I took my time getting up and walking through the house to answer the door. Damn repair man was already an hour late, it wouldn't do him any harm to wait on the step for a few minutes. After walking slowly from the kitchen to the living room and taking a few moments to straighten a few things up in there I sauntered casually to the front door and opened it. 'You're late' I said by way of greeting. I thought it was a damn good greeting too seeing as the fucker was late. 'I'm sorry Ma'am, I had some trouble with my truck and…….' I held my hand up to silence him – I had no time to listen to his excuses, the heat was making me dizzy with impatience. 'This way' I called back over my shoulder as I led the way down to the basement.
Once we were down there he decided to pipe up again, 'What seems to be the trouble Ma'am?' I told him what was wrong with the washer and he seemed to think he could fix it. After going back up to get his tools (I don't know why he didn't bring them with him in the first place?) he got to work. I stayed in the basement to watch him, ain't no repair man gonna take breaks and lounge around on my watch, I was paying this guy top dollar after all.
As he worked I leaned against one of the beams in the basement to get a better look at him. This heat was making me horny and I reasoned there was no harm in enjoying the view seeing as we were both stuck down here, and all, until he fixed the damn washer. He was a few years older than me and not the kind of guy I'd usually go for, but he had a good body – sturdy shoulders and a nice broad back with a firm tight ass, he was a few inches taller than me too. Well I must've really been getting affected by the heat 'cause even though he wasn't the kind of guy I'd usually fuck I started to get turned on watching him handle my machine. Every time he bent over I imagined he was bending over me as he fucked me from behind, and watching his strong rough hands (this dude was no pretty boy I can assure you, he had hands almost like sandpaper) twiddle and tinker with the parts inside the washer, well, you can imagine what I was hoping he would twiddle next.Almost without realising it my hands were up at my breast massaging my nipples through the thin fabric of my slip. This guy was a quiet worker and didn't make much conversation so my imagination was running riot thinking about what I would do to him. I slipped back further away from him to lean against another of the long beams that ran from the ceiling to the floor, watching his body as I fondled myself, those big strong thighs, the way his ass moved as he bent over – I could feel my pussy starting to get wet. I was still working my nipples with both hands, almost in a daze as I fantasised about all the positions we could do and what he would feel like inside of me. He turned suddenly to say something and I dropped my hands down quickly – almost too quickly. He hesitated for just half a second too long before he spoke, 'Do you wanna come over here and check that it's all working ok?'
Shit! Had he seen me? Not that I gave a fuck anyway, as I said he wasn't the type of guy I'd normally do, but still it would be pretty embarrassing if he had seen me. I quickly got my head together and walked over to survey his work. He switched the machine on and we both stood there facing it waiting to see what would happen next. 'It seems to be working ok' I said after a few seconds. The sooner I got this guy out of the house the sooner I could get back to pleasuring myself. For a few moments all that could be heard was the sound of the washer, then he spoke, 'I saw you over there playing with your titties', he said it low and casual as if he was asking me what time it was. I switched off the washer, 'I don't know what you're talking about', I shot back just as casually, you know, as if I was telling him the time.
Before I knew what was happening his lips were on my neck, biting and sucking on my sensitive skin. He grabbed my slip and pulled it up above my waist, then I felt his rough chapped hands roaming over my thighs and stomach. He was using his body to pin me against the beam as his mouth moved lower down to my breasts. He sucked hard on each fleshy mound making my skin red and raw before swooping down to bite down on each nipple in turn. I winced in confusion as pain radiated from my tits but at the same time as my pussy got wetter. 'You're enjoying this aren't you?' he growled in my ear as he brought his face up to mine. I didn't answer him and instead focused on my breathing which was becoming fast and ragged, I may have even smirked at him a bit. 'Oh, you want to play games?' he hissed as he caught the end of my smirk and took it as encouragement. 'Well I got a game for you, Princess'.
He practically tore my slip off me and threw it to one side, leaving me standing there before him exposed and vulnerable. 'You still want to play games, duchess?' he asked me menacingly. I shook my head, 'I don't know what you mean' I breathed back at him. 'I don't know what you thought you were playing at' he began grabbing my breast roughly, squeezing and pulling them. 'Standing over there playing with your titties' he had each nipple between his thumb and forefinger now and was pinching them hard and without mercy, 'Teasing me', he continued, 'Making me want you' He looked up at me and I did my best to look as if his actions and words were having no effect on me. 'But I know you want this, and I'm gonna make you say it', he finished. I shook my head stubbornly as he brought his mouth down to my titties once more.
His calloused hand found the opening of my wet slit and he began to finger me harshly thrusting his fingers in and out of me so violently that my pelvis jerked up with each insertion. I always loved when a man took control of me and pretty soon I was moving my hips to his rhythm as his thumb circled my clit over and over until it was almost raw. He hadn't let up on my tits either and was still biting and pinching at my nipples, sometimes using his free hand to tug on them.
I felt myself nearing the point of no return and arched my back, spreading my legs wider in preparation. He kept on fucking my pussy hard with his fingers but brought his mouth up to my ear again. I was grinding my cunt against his hand and panting like a wild animal. I felt my body begin to loose control and then, he stopped.
'I want you to say it darlin' that smooth tone was back again. I looked at him in confusion. 'C'mon, Princess you can admit now that you were teasin' me' I couldn't believe that he would finger fuck me to within an inch of my life and then start this nonsense again. My pussy tingled and my nipples felt electric as I stood and looked defiantly at him. He circled my nipple with his finger and my whole body convulsed, although I styled it out as if I felt nothing. 'You can't cum until you say it' he playfully informed me.
'I don't know what you're talking about' I told him again with a twinkle in my eye. He dipped his thumb into my pussy and wriggled it a few times, 'You sure about that?' he asked as he pulled his thumb out and wiped it on my clit. I almost broke down right there. I hesitated for a second………'Positive' I answered regaining a bit of control over myself . 'Alright darlin' if you want to do this the hard way then I guess we're gonna do it the hard way'. He turned and walked away from me leaving me somewhat confused. When he was on the other side of the basement he spoke. 'Turn around'. I stood looking at him in defiance. 'Turn around!' he commanded and my pussy twinged again as I obeyed. I stood facing the wooden beam as he rummaged in his bag.
Pretty soon I heard him walk back towards me. He bent me forwards and instructed me to hold my hands out in front of me. Then he took a thick rope and tied my wrists to the beam. He moved quickly back behind me and I heard him unzip his pants. He took hold of my hips and shoved my ass back against his groin. I moaned softly but still loud enough for him to hear and began grinding my ass against his dick. He leaned forwards and grabbed my tits, I was getting used to his roughness by now and moaned loudly as he fondled me, mauling my nipples with his hard hands. After a while he took hold of his stiff cock and teased me, rubbing it against my soaking pussy again and again. I tried to arch my back up and push my pussy down onto him but the way he'd tied my wrists made it difficult and he laughed scornfully at my attempts.
After what seemed like forever he suddenly plunged into me in one fluid movement. My pussy instantly went into spasms sucking his cock up until he had buried it inside me completely. 'Is this want you want, Princess?' he asked me tauntingly, 'You want my hard cock to fuck your tight little pussy raw?' I moaned out loudly indicating that it was. He held his dick there inside me not moving an inch. 'Well let me show you what I want' he smirked.
My body was a mass of contradictions as I felt the pleasure of my clit being stroked and teased at the same time as the pain of my ass being fucked hard. He was really giving it to me now and I was jerking forwards every time he thrust into me. Finally the sensations in my clit took over my whole body and I found myself screaming as I came hard.

when one attempts foreplay with an intelligent woman, one must first practise cliterature. it entails reading literature to the woman, in order to arouse her.

Genre of fiction dealing primarily with the romantic and social lives of high-powered career women, usually set in New York City. Originated with Candace Bushnell's novel, "Sex and the City," which was soon followed by the Shopaholic series as well as numerous other imitations. The genre is more commonly and politely referred to as chick lit.
"Ever since she got 'Shopaholic' for her birthday, my mom's been obsessed with cliterature. It's so creepy."

The other thing is patent pending is not unlike the rattle of a rattlesnake. It's a warning that you're prepared to strike if threatened.
The reason we claim patent pending is to warn others that when they infringe on our idea they're are taking a serious risk. Because if and when we get a patent they are not only susceptible to being sued for infringing but all the profits they made and penalties for doing so.
If they see your idea and start producing it before you apply for the patent two very bad things happen. First is they can do it with impunity. Second, you can't get a patent.
Now they publish patent applications. But back in the day they didn't. So one of the games played was keeping the patent pending as long as possible. That way competitors wanting to find another way to skin the cat wouldn't know your claims and risked infringing if they brought out something similar.

Thanks again harv, yea that was kind of my thoughts on claiming it's 'patent pending'.
Given the nature of this device I think I need to show it around a bit to see if there's any interest in it all before I start investing thousands, and years of time on a patent. It's going to be relatively expensive to produce as well so I'm not sure if anyone else would be willing to lay out the cash for this thing.
So my thoughts are to produce a few more of these things, a half dozen at the most, then go around localy and guage the response on them, sell a few perhaps with that conditional contract you mentioned and if it looks like they might be some decent interest I'll start with the patent process. I'm still sifting through the US and canadian patents to find something similar. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll be going forward on this!
If you take a good demo to a record company and they tell you they aren't interested and wish you luck with your song, don't be surprised in the least if you hear someone else singing it on the radio 6 months later!
When money is involved, people always find a way of screwing each other over.

Fighting Back Against the Zombie PC
There's no doubt that zombie movies are popular right now—their gross depictions of willful, wanton destruction are thrilling. As much as we love zombie movies, however, no one loves a "Zombie PC," especially since willful, wanton destruction isn't exactly a feature we look for in our computers.
Although a Zombie PC is a relatively rare thing, if you have one, your control over your computer can be completely compromised. Even worse, a Zombie PC can launch nefarious and haunting "attacks" that can infect and damage the equipment of the other people on your network.
How Does a Computer Turn into a Zombie PC?
It can start with a determined hacker, or attacker as we'll call the person here, who has sent a trojan virus(malicious software disguised as a desirable program). After the user accepts the trojan virus, it immediately inserts itself into the user's computer completely undetected. This leaves the user's computer is vulnerable to being taken over by the attacker for any kind of malicious deed or attack. These attacks can range from using the Zombie computer to send mass emails that are themselves infected by the trojan virus to uncovering personal info saved on the computer, including banking and financial information.

The year 2013 was one for the books — for the good books, that is, as publishers surprised and often delighted us with new offerings worth sinking our teeth into (or chewing over in book clubs and online).
In nonfiction, for example, Sheryl Sandberg rekindled the national conversation about women and work in her hotly debated Lean In; Mary Roach took us on a wild ride from human stern to stem in Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal; and George Packer searingly summed up four decades of social malaise in The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America.
In fiction, you could call 2013 "The Year of the Comeback": Old favorites such as Donna Tartt (The Goldfinch), Sue Grafton (W Is for Wasted) and Stephen King (Joyland and Doctor Sleep — a twofer!) all returned with epic tomes likely to bless — and burden — our nightstands well into the new year.
To pick our "Best Books for Grownups" of 2013, we looked for titles that stand out for their currency, inventiveness, historical sweep, belly laughs and gut punches, or — crucially — their readability. If you've read any of our selections below, let us know how they stacked up for you.

1. Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
It's 1930 when this remarkable experimental novel opens, and Ursula Todd is seated across a table from Adolf Hitler. In her purse there's a gun, but in this setup there's a catch: Ursula does and does not exist, as this compulsively readable story slews back and forth in time. In 1910, for example, Ursula dies at birth; a few pages later she's born again, healthy and hungry to live. Atkinson's novel challenges us to consider which actions we'd revise if life granted us unlimited "do-overs."
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling set the publishing world abuzz when the truth emerged that she had written this pseudonymous crime novel. Set in London, Cuckoo — the first in a series — introduces private eye Cormoran Strike, who lost a leg in Afghanistan. Here he must probe the suspicious circumstances of a supermodel's suicide. Rowling's tale skillfully captures a war vet's struggle to assimilate and envelops us in a gripping, finely plotted mystery.
3. The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
This dazzling novel may be the book that Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) was born to write. Set mostly in 19th-century Philadelphia (but spanning the globe), it follows self-taught botanist Alma Whittaker as she bucks all kinds of constraints — on women's education, thoughts and movements, for starters. In language as lush and precise as the horticultural marvels that Alma studies so raptly (and rapturously), her story is a glorious reminder of life's unlimited pathways. (Read an AARP excerpt from the book.)

FACT SHEET: Proposed Rule - Listing of Substitutes in the Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning Sector
- EPA is proposing to list two substances, HFC-152a and CO 2 as acceptable alternatives with use conditions for motor vehicle air conditioning systems.
- This proposal would allow the use of two new alternatives to ozone depleting substances in the motor vehicle air conditioning sector and outline the conditions necessary for their safe use. The proposed substitutes are non ozone-depleting gases and consequently do not contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion.
- These new alternatives, when used with proper risk mitigation technologies, would reduce the impact of mobile air conditioners on the environment.
- Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program (Section 612 of the Clean Air Act), EPA reviews alternatives to Class I and Class II ozone depleting substances (ODS) and approves use of alternatives which reduce the overall risk to public health and the environment.
- The European Union has proposed and is expected to ban the use of HFC-134a and other fluorinated gases in a variety of applications. By the end of the decade, car manufacturers in the European market may have to move to the new alternatives proposed in this action. In response, U.S. car manufacturers are developing systems using these new alternative refrigerants as well.
- If auto manufacturers chose to adopt these technologies, they would be required to install safety devices to mitigate risks of fire or over-exposure to the refrigerant in the event of an accidental release during servicing or vehicle operation.
- Currently, CO 2 is an acceptable alternative under the SNAP program. This action will amend the previous SNAP acceptability of CO 2 to require manufacturers to install the necessary safety devices.

Additional information (updated January 2007):
Several States have laws that may inadvertently prohibit use of these alternatives even if they are ultimately found acceptable by EPA for use in motor vehicle air conditioning systems (see table below). For example, Connecticut Statute Volume 5, Title 14, Chapter 246 (Motor Vehicles), Section 14-106 (Air conditioning equipment) states that "mechanical vapor compression refrigeration equipment which is used to cool the driver or passenger compartment of any motor vehicle shall be manufactured, installed and maintained with due regard for the safety of the occupants of the vehicle and the public, and shall not contain any refrigerant which is toxic to persons or which is flammable." This law prohibited toxic and flammable substances like ammonia and hydrocarbon refrigerant from being used in motor vehicle air conditioners and is consistent with Federal restrictions on these chemicals under the Clean Air Act.
|Connecticut Statutes Volume 5, Title 14, Chapter 246, Motor Vehicles, Section 14-106, Air conditioning equipment
|Idaho Statute 49-959, Air conditioning equipment
|Indiana Code Title 9, Article 19, Chapter 2, Air Conditioning
Kansas statute 8-1747, Air conditioning equipment
|Louisiana Revised Statute 32:375, Air conditioning equipment
|North Dakota
|North Dakota Century Code 39-21-45, Air conditioning equipment
|Oklahoma Statute 47-12-410, Air conditioning equipment
|Texas Transportation Code §547.610, Air conditioning equipment
|Utah Traffic Code 41-6a-1640 Air conditioning equipment
|Code of Virginia 46.2-1088, Air conditioning units
|Revised Code of Washington 46.37.470, Air-conditioning equipment
It appears, however, that laws such as Connecticut 's could also restrict new technologies using CO 2 and HFC-152a refrigerants. While these refrigerants can pose risks if used without proper controls, EPA's proposed regulation would, if finalized, restrict their use to air conditioning systems that meet safe exposure limit
s, even in the event of a leak or an accidental release. 1
Other states have revised their laws to allow the use of refrigerants that are listed as acceptable under the Clean Air Act, while still protecting the public against hazardous refrigerants. For example, Montana regulations provide that "Air-conditioning equipment may contain only refrigerant that has been included in the list published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a safe alternative motor vehicle air-conditioning substitute for chlorofluorocarbon-12 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7671k(c)." (See MCA § 61-9-426 online.) Wisconsin is another good example. "Flammable refrigerant" is clarified to mean a "substance containing butane, propane, mixtures of butane and propane, or other gaseous hydrocarbons when used or intended for use as refrigerants in motor vehicles." Flammable refrigerants are banned in vehicles "whose mobile air conditioners were not designed and manufactured to use flammable refrigerants." (See § ATCP 139.04 (11) online). Arizona uses a combined approach. Like Montana , it says that refrigerants approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are acceptable. Like Wisconsin , it says that certain flammable refrigerants must be used in air conditioning systems designed for them. Furthermore, it provides a set of suggested standards that can be used to comply with the requirement. (See the Arizona Refrigerant Regulation online)
Automakers and component manufacturers have informed EPA that they will be making design and manufacturing decisions on the "next generation" air conditioning technologies by mid 2007. States may wish to potentially consider legislative or regulatory adjustments to allow use of refrigerants consistent with Federal listings so that automobile manufacturers may install new technologies that safely use these refrigerants.
1 Although CO 2 is harmless at normal atmospheric concentrations, it can have toxic effects at high concentrations. HFC-152a is flammable at concentrations above 3.7%. To comply with EPA's regulation, if finalized as proposed, air conditioning systems must be engineered to limit potential exposures to below safe limits established in the rule.

Finally got around to making a tool that will fit any size oil filter and any size oil pan plug.....all-in-one. My favorite style oil filter wrench is the "strap wrench" style. so easy to make! I decided to weld a couple additions on in order to take the plug out of the pan as well. This one tool is all you need to do a complete oil change. Love this tool. BTW.... don't judge my welds too harshly. for some reason, I wasn't on my game tonight..... a little grinding and paint will cover up my over kill welds.
I made a video on how I made it and put it on you tube. The welding part comes towards the end of it (sorry). That's where I add the extras. If you're interested in making one, check it out.

Nice! I have a few old 1 1/2" ratchet tie down straps that would work great for this application. I like the idea but would need a longer extension due to the plastic shielding Subaru put under the oil pan. I'm always looking for my 17mm socket when it comes time to change the oil so I think I will buy a spare and weld it to the extension! I don't have an awl but I do have a pop-rivet gun...I think I'll melt a couple of holes and pop rivet the straps together using a washer on both ends of the rivet to keep the rivets from pulling through.
Lately I seem to have quite a few but short windows where I'm looking for a small project to do...thanks for the tip and the great instructions.

In 1936 the German Standards committee Deutsches Institut Normung (DIN) officially proposed DIN 1451 as the standard type of lettering to be used in the field of road traffic. The purpose of this standard was to lay down a style of lettering which is timeless and easily legible. Unfortunately, these early letters lacked elegance and were not properly designed for typographic applications.
Ever since, several type foundries adopted the original designs for digital photocomposition. The first digital versions were released in 1990 by Adobe but only in four basic variations. Similar ones were also released by URW.
By early 2000, it became apparent that the existing DIN-based fonts did not fulfill the ever-increasing demand of complex corporate projects for more weights and support for additional languages.
Parachute® was set out to fill this gap by introducing the DIN Text series which, ever since, has become the most comprehensive and sophisticated set of DIN typefaces. It was based on the original standards but was specifically designed to fit typographic requirements. Completed in 2002, it was first released in 2003 and published in the award-winning catalog IDEA as a group of 4 separate families (original, condensed, compressed and a special display version) each with 12 weights, including true-italics, for a total of 48 weights and support for Latin and Greek.
By 2005, all families were upgraded to include 14 weights each, opentype features (small caps, etc) and extended support for all European languages including Cyrillic. Later, an additional Hairline weight was added to all families. Eventually, each superfamily ended up with 15 weights and an average 1280 glyphs per font. Finally, in 2010 Parachute® released 4 new families DIN Monospace, DIN Stencil, DIN Text Arabic and DIN Text Universal.
Altogether the Parachute DIN series is a set of 8 families with a total of 96 weights.
The DIN Text Pro has lowercase ascenders that are higher than the capitals, varying letter proportions and italics that are not a mechanically-obliqued version of the regular weights, but rather true-italics.
The letterforms divert from the stiff geometric structure of the original and introduce instead elements which are familiar, softer and easier to read. The other two superfamilies Condensed and Compressed share the same attributes as the original.
DIN Display Pro, on the other hand, was designed as an alternative to the DIN Text Pro series. While DIN Display seems to retain DIN's basic characteristics, it shines with its sharper corners and contemporary look. This superfamily, just like the other three, is enhanced with true-italics.
PF DIN Mono is one of the latest additions to the ever-growing set of DIN super families by Parachute®. It was based on its proportional counterpart DIN Text Pro, but was completely redesigned to reflect its new identity. DIN Mono is a monospace typeface which is comprised of characters with fixed width. In the world of proportionality, DIN Monospace stands out as a fresh new alternative to the popular standard, particularly for publishing and branding applications. The Monospace family consists of 12 weights including true-italics.
Despite the fact that over the years several designers have manually created stencil lettering for various projects based on DIN, there has never been a professional digital stencil version of any DIN-based typeface. The DIN Stencil family manages to preserve several traditional stencil features, but introduces additional modernities which enhance its pleasing characteristics and make it an ideal choice for a large number of contemporary projects. Furthermore, the spacing attributes of the glyphs were redefined and legibility was improved by revising the shape of the letterforms. The DIN Stencil family consists of 8 diverse weights from the elegant Hairline to the muscular Black.
In 2010, Parachute® released -in collaboration with designer Hasan Abu Afash- 2 new versions. DIN Text Arabic is the basic Arabic version which includes Latin and supports all variations of the Arabic script such as Persian, Urdu and Pashto. The second version DIN Text Universal is the most advanced DIN superfamily ever. It combines the powerful DIN Text Pro with DIN Text Arabic bringing the number of glyphs to 3320 per font. It is also enhanced with 30 advanced opentype features and kerning for all languages. All together it supports hundreds of languages, proving to be an essential tool for corporations which operate internationally. The whole family consists of eight weights from extra black to hairline.

Men's golf downed by Georgia Tech at Callaway Match Play
Monday, March 21, 2011
BALL GROUND, Ga. (Mar. 21, 2011) - No. 3-seeded Georgia Tech took three out of the five matches to defeat 15-seeded ETSU, 3-0-2, in the third round of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championships on Monday afternoon.
Georgia Tech got off to a strong start as Paul Haley and Richy Werenski picked up early victories. Haley defeated Lucas Armstrong (Church Hill, Tenn.) 5 and 3, while Werenski beat Patrick Spraggs (Rochford, England), 5 and 3.
ETSU will take on UCLA tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. in the final round of the event.
Georgia Tech clinched the match after James White defeated Paul O'Kane (Castledawson, Northern Ireland), 3 and 1.
After being down late in the match to Kyle Scott, ETSU junior Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) managed to win the final hole of the day to halve the match. Freshman Spencer Lawson (Raleigh, N.C.) also managed to halve his match against J.T. Griffin. Lawson was down through the first 15-holes before tying the match up with just two holes to play.
The event is comprised of four rounds of match play between teams, similar to the Final Eight of the NCAA Championship. Each team match includes individual matches between each of the five players, and the winner of each individual match scores a point for his team.
Georgia Tech is the host school and is joined by USC, Alabama, Baylor, Duke, East Tennessee State, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Pacific, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA and Washington State. Georgia (2005) and UCLA (2007) are past winners of the event while 2010 runner-up USC leads a contingent of five teams (Iowa, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA) returning from last year's tournament.

North Face (Nordwand)
Action/Adventure, Drama
Based on a true story, about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. In 1936, Nazi propaganda urges German Alpinists to conquer the unclimbed north face of the Swiss massif, the Eiger, bringing two reluctant climbers, Toni Kurz and Andi Hinterstoisser, to begin their daring ascent and attempt to scale the infamous rock face, often called the Murder Wall. While preparing themselves at the foot of the North Face, Toni and Andi unexpectedly run into Luise, the early love of Toni. Now a journalist, she has come with her boss Arau, a loyal Nazi, to report about the first ascent. Toni begins the ascent of the North Face with Andi, closely followed by two Austrians Willy Angerer and Edi Rainer. All goes well at first as both rope teams make good headway but then the climbers lose their advantage over the mountain and the race against time and the forces of nature begins.

Power to the Positive
Prone to pessimism? We have some creative ways to help you transform your negative thinking
By Jessica C. Kraft
The common understanding of optimism is that it is an innate attitude. You're born an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist, and once you see the glass half empty, you'll always see it that way. But this is actually quite a pessimistic assumption.
On the contrary, the current thinking in psychology and neuroscience is quite optimistic about your ability to banish pessimistic attitudes. The positive psychology movement, in particular, advances the idea that optimism is a skill that can be learned and practiced until it becomes a habitual and beneficial way of approaching life's ups and downs. And teachings from global wisdom traditions also show us powerful methods for transforming negative thought patterns.
The founder of positive psychology, Martin Seligman, PhD, says that learning optimism begins with listening to how we describe and ultimately label the various events in our lives—what Seligman has termed our "explanatory style."
If your explanatory style is pessimistic, you might assume that you are generally unlikable because you've received some harsh words from a friend. If your kids aren't achieving high marks in school, you might assume that you're a total failure at parenting.
In this style, any particular setback is seen as part of a permanent condition that applies to other areas of life. When something good happens to the inveterate pessimist, however, he tends to see it as temporary and very narrowly focused. Each win is just a fluke; the high test score is simple luck… [end of excerpt]

Click the video play button down screen center to watch last night's meeting. Click here to see a photo gallery.
The school board will be forced to slash up to $12 million more from the district's budget over the next five years without voter approval.
The fate of the district's 2-mil, five-year permanent improvement renewal levy and its 10-year, 4.98-mill new emergency operating levy on the May ballot will chart the course.
The board already axed about $2.6 million by cutting teaching jobs and other positions. The next round could include slashes to athletics, foreign language programs and full-day kindergarten classes.
One resident said the board and district superintendent Jim Gunner had not been straight with residents, a suggestion both Gunner and school board president Matt Kosior refuted.
"If you come up with a better plan or a chapter plan, let's see it. Don't accuse anyone up here of doing anything underhanded. That is not the case."
The board shares many of the same frustrations residents do, Gunner said, but has kept its focus on the No. 1 priority.
"We are going to make the decisions that are right for the kids, and sometimes those are controversial," Gunner said.
