It's only natural to be scared of the Grim Reaper, bringer of death. He's the dreaded symbol of death, shrouded in fear and mystery. The Grim Reaper left poor Ebenezer Scrooge shivering in trepidation when he arrived to make him face his future. What better decoration to scare the pants off your party guests than a 60" Reaper on Swing Decoration? Sure, it might make trick-or-treaters want to skip your house, but it will definitely deliver the desired scare as well as create a spooky setting, whether it's Halloween, a costume party, or a scary movie marathon.
While no one actually wants to be on the edge of death's doorway, hanging the 60" Reaper on Swing at your next Halloween or creepy-themed get-together with friends is bound to be a hit. Decorations set the tone and inspire both mood and conversation. There isn't any doubt that suspending the Grim Reaper from a tree or entryway will get people talking -- and moving, since no one wants to stand beside something that sinister for long! Recommended for Ages 15+. This is a Decoration, not a Toy.

text: Hey all, So I have been playing with the compiling of a custom kernel, and go all the way through make zImage...I get this error Id86 cannot find command error[127] then it exits out of the directory. I thought at first it was because I chose to compile the kernel as ELF. So I tried it again without ELF and it did the same thing. Any suggestions. Secondly anyone using wvdial... It does everything right - I assume - passes my username and password then it choose the right option 1 - to connect to ppp and say it starting ppd and nothing more appears on the term. I tried to start mozilla. By the time mozilla starts I here my modem hang up. No error is give by wvdial. I do know that when I dial in using minicom after I select ppp start there is another prompt from my isp to press a key (I did this to test things). Now I assume the ppd will need to pass some type of key stroke to my isp after starting ppd - but how?

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is reportedly in trouble for posting a paparrazi photo of 17-year-old Miley Cyrus, apparently without underwear, online.
Along with the link, Hilton stated: "If you are easily offended, do NOT click here … Oh, Miley! Warning: truly not for the easily offended!â€Â The post and reportedly explicit photo have since been removed, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Hilton then posted a video on Monday stating, "I think now it's okay for Miley to be a little sexier. Because she's almost 18, you know, so it's okay for Miley to show her boobs and expand, uh, her horizons.â€
Some sites are reporting that Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, could face jail time, as this could be considered child pornography. A lawyer told EOnline that jail time is not likely.
What do you think about the Miley photo scandal? Should Perez Hilton be punished for this? Share your comments below.

The Evolving Mining Boom
The Mineral Resource Tax, aka the mining tax, hasn't delivered as much money as the government hoped but does this mean the mining boom is over and our two speed economy doomed? Well, the mining boom is evolving into its next phase but the states that are not benefiting directly from the mining sector are facing difficulties.

There are many misconceptions that Anal Sex is only enjoyed by gay men or deviants. This has resulted in many heterosexual men who indulge in it with their women but who are curious or knows they desire anal play not exploring it. So they deprive themselves out of fear that others will think that he must really be gay or have homosexual tendencies, which is a total fallacy.
Wearing a tail butt plug is a form of adult sexual entertainment role play or fantasy in which men or women pretend to be a dog, dragon, horse or more commonly pony (a pet for their master if you will) while their choice sexual partner pretends to be the Master or Trainer (known as the Top or Dom). The Animal participant (also known as the Bottom or Sub) takes their role play very seriously. Prancing around and pretending to to be the animal in question, dogs wiggle their tails, ponies canter around and cats purr and rub against their masters legs.
Often fantasy or elaborate attire / costumes are often worn to enhance the effect. A common addition is harness straps, often attached to the wearers head like a bridle comprising a headstall, bit inserted in the mouth and reins, which allow a doggy position style pose. Another common one are headdresses which include imitation animal ears or plumage on the head from fancy dress or fetish store. These components combined with the Tail Butt Plug provide a sense of bondage and heighten the sexual sensations immensely for both the animal and their master.
If the animal has pierced nipples, these nipple rings are frequently attached by chains, providing further stimulation of the nipples during the fantasy.
A typical session may include training, in which the animal is trained to sit, lie or roll over for dogs, to trots around the master like a horse. During training an animal will often choose to be naught or misbehave. A disobedient or naughty animal needs to be correct which may be whipped, reigned in, spanked or shouted at, A well behaved animal on the other hand must be rewarded with petting, pleasure or however it appropriate.

A psychiatric patient at a Western Maryland hospital charged with plunging a seven-inch metal spike into the head of a nurse who was trying to restrain him had threatened to kill staffers and others, according to police charging documents filed in court Tuesday.
Craig Harris Zello, 50, who according to his mother has been institutionalized in state mental hospitals for many years, was charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment in connection with Monday morning's attack at Thomas B. Finan Hospital Center in Cumberland.
An Allegany County District Court judge on Tuesday ordered Zello held without bail. The victim, who police said was badly injured, told investigators that he found Zello standing in a room at the hospital holding the spike and screaming at staff members that he "was going to kill them," according to the court papers. The nurse has been released from the hospital, state authorities said.
The attack occurred about 10 a.m. Monday. The injured nurse said he ran to call for help and tried to subdue Zello using a riot shield. Maryland State Police said in court papers that troopers had to shackle Zello's feet and hands and that a nurse injected him with medication to calm him down. Still, police said he tried to stand up and "screamed 'kill me' and that he would 'kill us all,' " the court documents say.
Zello was last ordered institutionalized after being found not criminally responsible in 2006 in an attempted armed carjacking and assault in Carroll County. He was sent to Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center in Jessup in 2004 while he awaited trial and was transferred to the Finan Center in August 2012, according to court records.
Zello's mother, Shirley Jean Serig, said a nurse told her a few days ago that her son was refusing to take his medication, lithium, to treat his bipolar disorder.
"He's not violent unless he's off his medicine for a long time," Serig said in a telephone interview. "As long as he was on his medicine, he would give you the shirt off his back and help you in any way. If he wasn't on his medicine, something should've been done to get him on his medicine. That's why he was there, to be treated."
Serig said her son's life has been marked since childhood by repeated stays in hospitals and frequent medication changes. "All he wants to do is go fishing," she said.
The hospital's chief executive officer, Judith Hott, said that the campus is secure but not gated, and that some patients are allowed to leave, either on their own or with a staff member.
Authorities do not know how the spike was obtained, Hott said.
Zello's mother said her son could leave the grounds; Hott declined to comment on a specific patient. She also would not say whether Zello had stopped taking his medication.
Hott said a task force has been formed "to understand how this happened and how to move forward in way that greatly minimizes anything like this from happening in the future."

Thrives in moderate large container on a concrete porch with no direct sunlight any time of year in the low desert of Arizona. Winter of 2012-2013 winter freeze killed all the fronds but not the plant/roots when it was left unprotected over 5 nights of hard freeze in mid-20's F. After trimming dead fronds back to trunk, loads of fronds re-emerged a few month later.

I've had this plant in Zone 9, Phoenix, AZ area from 2004-2013 so far. It's in a container in the shade outside. So far it's continued to survive both heat & freezes. I thought for sure I'd lost it after this winter's brutal freezes (for Arizona, hehe), but 3 months later and some good 90 degree heat & it's back. If you can get it to live, I think the heat here keeps the plant to a more moderate size, because if it hadn't been for the occasional dieback, it was starting to overgrow the location it was placed in.

I am in zone 10 (turning to 11 lately!) and the leatherleaf or cardboard'palm' grows fast and huge here.

Every year at Thanksgiving I wrap the trunk with a 100 lite strand of twinkle lights and throw another strand in the center, fold up the leaves and wrap it with plastic. I plan to do the same this year with the Cardboard palm and see if I'm successful getting it through the winter.

I received a cardboard palm for my birthday in January---a small houseplant version. (I do not have a green thumb) Unfortunately, we had a bad ice storm that knocked out our electricity for 6 days. We left our home, and our plant to freeze. I completely forgot about it with all the stress of trees falling on our house---etc. It got to the low 20's in our house. My palm did lose all its leaves. I have lifted it out of the pot to look at roots, but I can't tell anything. I will replant it and watch it for awhile. If it survives, then I know it is more hardy than I've been reading!

I am stretching the limits here in borderline Zone 8b/9a by growing the Cardboard Palm. I got it through last winter with temperatures down as low as about 28 F by covering it with several inches of hay and throwing a sheet or blanket over it on the coldest nights. There was somefreeze leaf burn on the outer edges where the mulch covering was thinnest, causing these outer edges to turn a light brown color, but the plant has sent up fantastic new growth this year and is looking great! It has been a nice addition to my botanical collection. The related species, Coonties (Zamia floridana), are native to my area, are completely cold hardy in this Zone, and grow without any special care.

This plant is really bulletproof in my zone, coastal 9b, where it survives winter's cold and very strong salty winds with absolutely no problem. I have it potted at my balcony, therefore protected from heavy rains, and that's about it as far as protection is concerned. It's a hardy plant with no special requirements, although I suspect it would be a faster grower in warmer or tropical zones (it's only producing about 4-5 leaves a year, all at once, where I live). Apart from this relative disadvantage (common to all cycads), it's one of the easiest plants in my collection.

We experienced that temperatures below 32F damage the old leaves. The leaves turn brown and then fall off. It takes the plant very long time to grow new leaves. So, we usually cover the entire plant when the weather gets too cold.

I have had this as a potted house plant for a long time now--about 5 years. It is really slow, and no fertilizer out there seems to help it. Sometimes, some leaves fall off the stem part, and it makes the whole leaf look bad. Sometimes, one or two leaves will turn light brown and fall off, while the others are still green. It's a Mickey Mouse kind of plant to me. I love it, though I just can't seem to get rid of it. They are very expensive here in CA, so I think I will hold onto mine. It's too cold for it here outside.

Did not know about toxicity of plant until I started reading the PF. Planted inground in full sun for about 5-6 years, it has been extremely slow growing for me. In the wintertime leaves get ugly and they fall off but in spring new shoots come up. I'm rating it neutral for toxicity and for being so slow to grow. It is fun to touch the leaves, they do feel like cardboard.

This plant grows very well in what I refer to as Dante's Inferno, a sun-drenched rooftop deck with merciless sun in downtown Key West. It is watered every other day, and seems to really like being fed at two-week intervals. This one is dear to my heart, because when I started caring for it, it had two dried out fronds and lived in a cracked plastic pot. Transplanting to a large terra cotta pot with good medium has resulted in about 24 fronds, two seed pods, and astounding growth inside of three months.

This is one of the most commonly grown cycads in all of California and Florida (and probably many other states near Florida). It is a very attractive and non-fastidious plant that has unique physical characteristics. As with ALL cycads, there are male and female plants. You need at least one of each to get fertile seed, as well as the pollinator. If you don't live in Florida where there are at least some natural cycad pollinators, you will probably have to be the pollinator--that is, if you want to try to get viable seed out of your plants).

When the fruit ripens, the birds are very fond of the pretty red seeds. The result is little tiny cardboard palms all over the place. They pull out easily and grow to a reasonable size in two years. On the bright side, cardboard palm is a great accent, specimen or container plant for the patio or deck.

Alternatively known as Extispicium (also the name of one of the instruments used in the practice of it), Extispiciny, Splanchomancy (see Anthropomancy), Aruspicy, Aruspicina, Aruspiciny, Haruspicy, Haruspiciny, and Haruspication.
This form of divination is sometimes considered to be part of augury.
Extispicy is divination by means of the examination of the entrails of sacrificed animals, usually with special emphasis on the animal's liver, which afterwards were burnt in a sacrificial fire. Sometimes the observation of how the flame burnt the sacrifice was also necessary for the prognostication.
Surprisingly, in early Mesopotamia the most important and ancient form of divination was not by astronomical observations, which we can trace to the second millennium BC, but instead the observation of the entrails of sacrificed animals, especially the liver, but also heart, lungs, and colon.
So, of the many different forms of divination practiced in antiquity, liver divination was one of the earliest and was regarded as the most authoritative. Later on, other organs were also included and it became standard practice in civil administration when decisions of state had to be made, in military campaigns and also at critical junctures in the lives of those individuals who could afford it, to consult a diviner who would examine entrails. Such diviners were omnipresent in ancient Mesopotamian society.
From the third millennium BC, Extispicy was held as being more reliable than the observation of celestial bodies (Astrology) but also of other ominous phenomena (Augury), and was generally considered more dependable than the visions of prophets and ecstatics (Prophecy).
Extispicy's underlying theory was that when an animal — usually a sheep or an ox — was sacrificed, it was absorbed by the god to which it had been offered, creating a direct channel to the deity. By opening the carcass, the haruspex presumed to peek inside the god's mind and watch the future being created..
The practice of Extispicy came to the Greeks and Romans from the Etruscans and the earlier cultures of Babylonia and Assyria. The extispices of the Roman religious colleges were the aruspices or augurs.
This somewhat grisly ancient method of divination is still practiced today in remote parts of the world. For the Gurung, a farming people living in Nepal, the shape and color of a sacrificed chicken's lungs may foretell sickness or good fortune.

Art Lesson: How to Draw a Sea Horse
Art lesson: How to draw a seahorse
As an art teacher, I like to teach lessons on things that are interesting to both kids and adults. Seahorses are one of those animals that most kids really like, and when presented with a chance to draw one, usually get very excited. There is just something whimsical and fun about a creature that is called a horse yet lives in the sea!
In this lesson I will break down the drawing steps one by one with a photo. Under each photo you will find the instruction for that part of the lesson. At the end of this hub you will also find 10 interesting facts about seahorses, which would make a classroom lesson even more informative. Because this turns into a painting which is based on using warm and cool colors, in this first hub we will concentrate on drawing the seahorse and in the next one I will talk about how to paint your seahorse, plus the use of color and medium.
Enjoy your lesson!
What you will need to draw your seahorse art
The things you will need for this lesson are simple:
- White paper (printer paper is OK but if you are going to paint it then something thicker like watercolor or art paper would be best)
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Black sharpie (optional if you want to trace the seahorse in black)
Step by step instruction on how to draw a seahorse
Finish drawing your seahorse
After your basic seahorse shape is drawn, follow the finished seahorse to the right to add your details. You will make a series of connecting semi-circles around the shape (except for the face), add the eyes, the other fins and the shading marks.
After you are done drawing your seahorse in pencil, you can either leave it that way or add pencil shading if you like. I went over my seahorse with black Sharpie in preparation for painting, then I erased any pencil lines that were showing. Make sure your guidelines are totally erased also. You can also pencil in the seahorses habitat with coral and sea grasses, then draw with Sharpie over those lines too.
In the next lesson we will have a lesson on how to use warm and cool colors to paint your seahorse, along with ideas on how to do oil pastel waves and ripples in the ocean.

10 interesting facts about seahorses
Sea horses are amazing little creatures. They capture our imagination and also make a great art lesson. Here are 10 interesting facts about seahorses that you may not have known about them:
- Once seahorses fall in love, they stay together for life. They are monogamous.
- Seahorses are the only species in the world in which the males give birth.
- Seahorses range in size from just 0.6 inches (1.5 centimeters) to 14 inches (35 centimeters) long.
- Seahorses propel themselves though the water by using the small fin on their back. This fin flutters up to 35 times per second!
- Seahorses like to eat all day long! They can eat 3,000 or more brine shrimp per day.
- There are 54 species of seahorses.
- Seahorse use the fins near the back of their heads to steer.
- Seahorses do not swim very well. In storms, they sometimes die of exhaustion.
- Male seahorses carry unborn young in a pouch that they have on the front of their bodies.
- Seahorses use their tails to latch onto grasses and coral in the ocean.

wonderful drawing! Your seahorse looks cute and a darling. I was wondering whether a 6 yr old could do that... No problem for me... Thanks for including the information about seahorse too. Voted up
I have always wanted to draw and paint. Sadly, I am not very talented in the arts. Science has always been my forte. That is one thing that sets this hub apart from other hubs! You have included some very interesting facts!
@Dorsi thanks for this lesson on how to draw a seahorse. This brings back memories of how I would draw cartoons and pictures of people when I was younger. Overall, nice. Voted up

Heart Disease Home > What Is Myocardial Ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia, also called angina, refers to symptoms (such as chest pain or discomfort) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. The pain may also occur in your:
- Shoulders
- Arms
- Neck
- Jaw
- Back.
Most people with angina have coronary artery disease, with narrowed arteries due to atherosclerosis. When arteries are narrowed, blood flow to the heart is reduced. More than 6 million people in the United States have this condition.
The three types of myocardial ischemia have different symptoms and treatment options:
- Stable angina occurs when the heart is working harder than usual and generally goes away with rest
- Unstable angina is dangerous and requires emergency treatment
- Variant angina occurs at rest and can be relieved by medicine.
(Click Angina for more detailed information on what myocardial ischemia is, including risk factors for developing this condition.)

Maingear is ready with HD 4800 series
by Slobodan Simic on26 June 2008
- font size decrease font size increase font size
CrossfireX available
System builder Maingear is ready with the HD 4800 series, and you can now configure Maingear's gaming systems with up to four Visiontek HD 4850s or up to four Visiontek HD 4870s.
The combination of four HD 4870s will get you 2GBs of GDDR5 memory and will add US $1,315.01 to the price when compared to a single HD 4850 card. We would recommend a plain Crossfire with two cards, as this scales much better than four cards and it will raise the price by US $299.99 for the HD 4850 Crossfire and US $542.51 for the HD 4870 Crossfire, both compared to a single HD 4850 configuration.
As far as we could find, Maingear is the first system builder to offer these cards, and according to our source they have both of those cards in stock.
You can check out the systems here.

Stephen Jackson Signs with the Clippers
(LOS ANGELES) -- Stephen Jackson thought his NBA career was over, but now he finds himself California Dreamin'.
The Los Angeles Clippers announced Tuesday that they've signed the veteran forward to a one-year deal. Jackson spent last season with the San Antonio Spurs, averaging 6.2 points in 19.5 minutes per game in 55 appearances. The Spurs waived Jackson on April 27. and was believed to be done playing basketball until the Clippers came calling.
"I just think he's a veteran," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "We need him in a pinch. We need him like now and that's a guy that you can bring in and he can give you something right away with Reggie (Bullock) being out for at least this trip and maybe longer and Matt (Barnes) being out. We don't have another three right now and he fits that bill for us."
The 35-year-old Jackson has played 13 seasons with seven NBA teams, averaging 15.1 points in just over 32 minutes per game. He now becomes the only player on the current Clippers roster to have won an NBA championship, which he accomplished back in 2003 with the Spurs.

What should a patient do if they want to improve their sagging neck, jowl, facial, and brow soft tissue - but they don't want to undergo a surgical procedure because of cost, downtime, or concerns about scars? In the past, certain technologies have promised to help patients with this type of request, but they have generally over-promised and under-delivered. There is now a better answer – the Ulthera® System is now available in Pittsburgh.
Dr. Paul Leong, Pittsburgh facial plastic surgeon, has designed this web site is to provide patients with detailed and up-to-date information about a new and exciting technology now available in Pittsburgh called Ultherapy™.
This technology has demonstrated impressive results – in fact, it is the only non-invasive, non-surgical device ever to be granted a lifting indication by the FDA. Many patients are unhappy with their sagging jowls, neck, facial, and brow tissue, but are psychologically, financially, or logistically not ready to undergo surgery. Dr. Leong understands this point of view completely – surgery is not the right answer for everyone. In Dr. Leong's opinion, Pittsburgh Ultherapy™ with the Ulthera® System is the first technology that holds the promise of addressing these patient's concerns without undergoing surgery. Dr. Leong is very clear with his Pittsburgh patients that Ulthera® treatment should not be expected to provide results as dramatic as a facelift would. If a patient has very advanced sagging of their facial tissues, it is unlikely that Ulthera® treatment will provide enough lift to be fully satisfying. However, for the patient with moderate sagging of their neck, jowl, and brow tissue, who does not want to undergo a facelift or minilift, Ultherapy™ can be an outstanding option. Another potentially excellent candidate for Pittsburgh Ulthera® treatment might be somebody who has undergone a facelift several years ago and has begun to see some return of moderate laxity in their neck, jowls, or brow.
Ultherapy™ has been approved by the FDA for browlifting, and Dr. Leong also uses Ultherapy™ in Pittsburgh to treat the face and neck. Exciting new applications of Ultherapy™ are being developed to treat areas of the body such as the upper arms and the inner part of the knees, and we are starting to use Pittsburgh Ulthera® treatments in these areas.
As described in greater detail in this site, Ultherapy™ uses ultrasound energy to both visualize the deep layers of the facial soft tissue and then create rows of tiny thermal injury zones below the level of the skin. These thermal injury zones encourage the formation of new collagen which leads to the tightening and lifting of the soft tissue. Ultherapy™ is neither a laser, injectable, or "minimally invasive" surgical procedure. Rather, Ultherapy™ is a novel use of tried and true ultrasound – the same technology that has been trusted by pregnant mothers for decades. Because the ultrasound energy treats the tissue below the level of the skin, Ultherapy™ is a truly lunch-time procedure. In some patients there is very subtle redness and very minor swelling, but the great majority of patients have essentially zero downtime.
For Pittsburgh Ultherapy™, like any new technique or technology in the cosmetic industry, it is important that you understand as much as you possible about your choices before you decide on any treatment. Dr. Leong has created this site to provide you with detailed information about this exciting approach to facial rejuvenation. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation at our three Pittsburgh area offices.

What are the names you chose for your kids and why?
Mine are Owen Alan.
Owen because I liked it and Alan is my fathers name.
Cameron Edward because my husband liked Cameron and Edward is his fathers name.
I always loved the name Jonathan. I wanted a name that when someone looked at it, instantly knew if the person was a boy or a girl. It could be professional if he wanted to be a business person without having to hide it or be embarrassed by it later. Knew how to spell it. Though sadly, people screw his name up all the time when people somehow added another H to it & some people add two 0's. But at least it is close.
Then his middle name is my dads.
Tristan Dean - My SO picked out Tristan, he always wanted to name his son that specially after I turned down the idea of making him Bobby Glynn III. I picked out dean because I wanted a middle name that started with a D. My grandfather went by TD so it was a way of naming him after him without giving him his name (which I can't even spell).
Keira Leigh - I wanted to name my daughter Keira Lee I don't know why just always have. My SO wanted to spell it Leigh because that's his sister's middle name.
Both names are compromises on both our parts and still names we both love so it works well.
Our son who is due in August his name is Liam Matthew, my husband chose it, Liam means protector, Matthew is my husbands middle name.
Chad (CJ) is named after dad, he choose that not me
Emmarie came bc he wanted Emma and I said no so I thought and came up with Emma Marie and then Em-marie
Ethan was the name I picked as a child
My daughter is Samantha Lynn. Samantha is after a friend I grew up with when I was very little and Lynn is a family name.
well my son is a junior becuase of his dad and we saw the name for our dd on the news. it was the reporeters first name that got us to be like omg its so pretty.
Mallory Nicole: My husband tricked me into her first name cause its a car ignition brand and he is a mechanic. She has my middle name.
Maybree Faye: I came across her name online and fell in love with it. It pretty. Some poeple i know dont care for it but screwem cause i dont care for thier kids names. Faye was my grandmothers middle name and she was also born on her birthday.
Brenna Lynne is dd's name. Brenna because it's one of the few names that dh liked on the Celtic names database. Celtic is the part of our background that we share. Lynne is the end of my first name and several family members' middle names.
Quinn Michael is ds's name. Quinn is again one of the few names that dh liked on the Celtic names database. Michael is dh's first name and the first born sons in dh's family get their father's first names as their middle names and have for 5 generations now.
Conor Wade. Conor because I wanted a name that was Celtic, Gaelic or Welsh and I found it looking through a baby name website. The site had a mistake on the meaning at the time, it said "one who is loved" and I thought it was perfect (the actual meaning, which was eventually fixed, is "lover of hounds," but oh well, LOL). Wade is DH's middle name. There are two reasons for me choosing it. One was to pacify him for insisting that I pick the name and the second was to go with a theme. All of our first names begin with C, so I figured make the middle name match one of our middle initials, so I chose DH's. However, there aren't a lot of male W names I like, so Wade it was.

Lee Keegan has revealed that Mayo sense fear when opponents complain that the Connacht champions are tactical fouling experts.
Mayo boss James Horan took exception to Cork selector Ronan McCarthy singling out Cillian O'Connor and Kevin McLoughlin in the run up to Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final.
Brian Cuthbert also warned ref Cormac Reilly to watch out for "streetwise" Mayo.
And afterwards Horan labelled Cork "a disgrace" and said that their management's comments were "a new low".
As far as dynamic wing-back Keegan is concerned, the players take strength when they they're being criticised.
"It was mentioned as well last year by Donegal," said Keegan. "We sense a bit of fear when they start saying that.
"Listen, they can say what they want the main thing is that we got the result.
"I know he (Cuthbert) tried to get on the referee's side but I think Cormac Reilly is a very clever man and he didn't really buy into it. He was very good in what he did. Let Brian worry about that and we will worry about the result.
"I wouldn't agree with him because it put our integrity into a bit of doubt. I wouldn't have been too impressed with it but I wouldn't worry about it either.
"He has his own problems to be worrying about.
"We felt that our integrity was questioned, which was not nice – but we went out and did our job and got the job done which was the main thing.
"They can say what they want but at the end of the day it is about getting results and we are in the All-Ireland semi-final and they aren't."
Cork did have there own reason to be aggrieved as Colm O'Neill claimed he was told by the referee there was a minute left to play when he lined up what turned out to be the final free of the game.
O'Neill took his point to leave one point between the sides instead of going for goal from 13 metres out and Cork were incensed when Reilly blew the final whistle just moments later.
Asked what he was thinking when O'Neill lined up the free, Keegan joked: "Put it over the bar and he did thankfully.
"Ah, no there was probably a bit of deja vu with what happened to Cillian O'Connor last year (in the All-Ireland final against Dublin).
"I'm not sure what happened there. I think the ref told us that it was the final play, maybe they didn't hear him. Listen, I am not going to worry about that, we got the win and that's the main thing."
The victory sets up a mouth-watering All-Ireland semi-final clash with Munster champions Kerry on August 24.
"We will look forward to Kerry now in three weeks," said Keegan, who was on the three-man shortlist for Footballer of the Year in 2013.
"That's all that we can do now, work on things that we did not do too well and see where it brings us."

Canada has officially entered the second wave of the H1N1 flu pandemic, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said Friday.
"We are starting to see an increase in the number of people who are getting sick from H1N1," Aglukkaq said in declaring the start of the second wave.
"We've had some deaths this week. It is a serious situation."
The move into the second pandemic phase means that a drop in flu cases won't occur until enough people have been inoculated against the H1N1 influenza A virus — either through vaccination or by contracting the virus, said Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health officer. He spoke to reporters via teleconference.
Health officials in British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories had already declared the start of a second wave, but this is the first time the same has been done on a national level.
Federal public health officials based their decision on four criteria, Butler-Jones said:
- Number of people testing positive for the virus.
- Reported hospitalizations for flu-like illness.
- More people coming into doctors' offices with flu symptoms.
- Increase in sales of antiviral medications for flu.
Since last week, three more swine flu deaths have been reported in Canada, bringing the total number of fatalities to 86, Aglukkaq told reporters from Yellowknife.
Canadians should rest assured that officials have been responding as if the second wave was already underway, she said.
On Wednesday, Aglukkaq authorized the H1N1 pandemic vaccine for use in Canada for everyone over the age of six months, and the vaccine is in the process of being rolled out in provinces and territories.
Clinical trials worldwide suggest that up to 85 per cent of healthy adults who are immunized will develop immunity within 10 days, Aglukkaq said.
Disease hitting younger people
Aglukkaq encouraged people to talk to their family doctor or public health nurse to get the facts about the vaccine, noting that she will be getting immunized and is recommending the same for her family.
Canada's vaccine order cost about $300 million, Butler-Jones said. Even taking into account the cost of delivering the vaccine, the price pales compared with the cost of not doing anything, he said.
Swine flu remains a disease in which the bulk of illnesses and hospitalizations occur among young people, a common characteristic of pandemic flu viruses.
"This remains largely a young person's disease," said Dr. Thomas Friden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "But we're seeing it increasingly affect young adults as well as children."
In Canada, the median age of those who have become ill with laboratory-confirmed swine flu is 21, and the median age of those who died is 51, Butler-Jones said. Last week, about half of the people who died of the flu in the U.S. were teenagers.
Ontario has seen more requests for lab testing, more absenteeism in schools and workplaces, and more visits to emergency rooms, the province's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Arlene King, told reporters Friday.
Ontario will first offer the H1N1 vaccine to priority groups who will benefit most, King said. That includes people age 65 and under with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, healthy children between the ages of six months and five years, health-care workers and those living in remote and isolated communities.
Women who are more than 20 weeks into their pregnancy should talk to their doctor about receiving the vaccine that includes an adjuvant, or booster, King said. Healthy women in the first half of their pregnancy may wait to receive the non-adjuvanted form when it becomes available.
The federal government approved the H1N1 vaccine on Wednesday, and King said 722,000 doses of the vaccine will have arrived at the province's 36 local health units by the end of Friday, with a second shipment expected to arrive next week.

Candidate: Dr. Robert B. Schonberger is a board certified anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Yale School of Medicine. His long-term career goal is to conduct research that aims to transform the perioperative healthcare encounter into an integrated effort at overall health promotion, disease prevention, and longitudinal care of surgical patients. His immediate research goals are 1) to establish a clinical prediction model for predicting elevated postoperative ambulatory clinic blood pressure for use by anesthesiologists to guide referral decisions, 2) to identify risk-factor for post surgical failure of preventive care follow-up, and 3) to prospectively validate the clinicl prediction model's ability to identify ambulatory surgical patients with poor blood pressure control. As he transitions to independence, Dr. Schonberger aims in the future to conduct patient-oriented perioperative interventions to improve the treatment of hypertension. Dr. Schonberger has brought together mentors from the fields of primary care, health services research, hypertension research, informatics, anesthesiology, clinical trials design, and epidemiology that have a shared commitment to the success of this research enterprise and to the development of the candidate into an independent investigator. As part of his career development, Dr. Schonberger will pursue specific training in clinical informatics and health services research, clinical trials design, and epidemiology/ biostatistics in order to attain the skills necessary to become an independent clinician-scientist. Environment: The Yale University School of Medicine and the Veterans Administration (VA) Healthcare System in West Haven, Connecticut provide robust and complementary resources to faculty pursuing clinical research. Together these centers will provide the clinical research and training resources necessary for Dr. Schonberger's research and professional development. Structured didactics for Dr. Schonberger will include a Masters degree program focusing on clinical research, affiliated coursework audited through the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars program, and the Summer Institute on Randomized Behavioral Clinical Trials sponsored by the NHLBI and the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research. Clinical research resources will include the diverse population of a large, urban surgery center, an affiliated primary care center, a local office of telehealth with experience implementing and tracking home blood pressure measurements, the informatics infrastructure of the Yale Center for Medical Informatics, statistical support from the Yale Center for Analytical Sciences at the Yale School of Public Health, and the national database resources of the VA Connecticut, a designated informatics center within the U.S. Veterans Administration. Research: This K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award proposes a series of three studies to establish the scientific foundations for anesthesiologist-initiated blood pressure screening and subsequent primary care referral of ambulatory surgical patients. Outside the perioperative period, the data are manifest that despite increasingly large sums of money spent on healthcare, a significant number of patients with hypertensive disease in the United States remain either undiagnosed or undertreated for their hypertension. Given the several factors that are known to cause perioperative blood pressure changes, there are currently no widely accepted parameters for blood pressure screening and follow-up specifically tailored to the perioperative period. The first study of the present award aims to develop, by means of a national electronic medical record (EMR)-based cohort, a perioperative clinical prediction model for identifying undiagnosed and poorly controlled hypertension among ambulatory surgical patients. This same EMR-based cohort will then be used for a second study that will identify the characteristics of ambulatory surgical patients at high-risk for loss to preventive care follow-up. The third study will be a prospective validation of the perioperative blood pressure referral model developed in Study 1 and will also include a patient assessment focused on the identification of experiential factors that contribute to poor blood pressure control in this study population.
By aimi ng to decrease the long-term cardiovascular disease burden caused by undiagnosed or undertreated hypertension among ambulatory surgical patients, this project is consistent with the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's stated mission to support research aimed at the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Untreated and undertreated hypertension are established risk factors for increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality across a broad range of populations. There are no established perioperative paradigms for the identification and primary care follow-up of surgical patients with undiagnosed or undertreated hypertension. The information from this study will provide a foundation on which future perioperative care coordination interventions can be developed in order to improve the treatment of hypertension and thus improve the long- term cardiovascular health of surgical patients.

Ok... As a compromise about just stating that DAV:contains is an exception, and adding a new *element* to QSD, what I have specified is an attribute on opdesc. See <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-search-latest.html#rfc.issue.5.19.8-opdesc-vs-contains>. Javier, is that ok for you?
