This always turns out to be bad idea. Your first priority should be getting quality treatment. Compare various chiropractic clinics until you found the one that gives the best care irrespective of their location.
Choosing Clinic Because they are Cheap
This mistake is very common - most people want to get rid of pains and problems but they want to spend as little as possible while doing that.

Ok, just tried to give this a go... needed the lastest CVS though... I followed Hartmut's instructions from a couple weeks ago: - get CVS snapshots of video4linux and dvb-kernel from www.linuxtv.org - cd to video4linux and run scripts/merge-trees.sh - check the Make.config file - run make, make install However when I run make, it bails out with: CC [M] /data/scratch/dev/dvb/video4linux/cx88-video.o In file included from /data/scratch/dev/dvb/video4linux/media/video-buf-dvb.h:3, from /data/scratch/dev/dvb/video4linux/cx88.h:33, from /data/scratch/dev/dvb/video4linux/cx88-video.c:37: /data/scratch/dev/dvb/video4linux/dmxdev.h:38:19: error: demux.h: No such file or directory And then a number of other errors. Now demux.h is in the 'dvb-kernel' source tree so I could just copy some files around and bodge it (I think that's what I prob did last time) although there must be a much more elegant way of doing this!!! I'd have thought the 'merge-trees' script would have avoided this problem...? (All this before copying in your modified source btw...) Any ideas? Thanks, Andy

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Numerous celebrities who live in downtown Manhattan headed uptown to The Mark hotel after losing power thanks to Hurricane Sandy, the New York Post said.
Among the well-heeled refugees staying at the hotel were Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Helena Christensen, Anna Wintour, Russell Crowe, Marc Jacobs, Kelly Ripa, Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, the report said.
"The scene at The Mark was buzzing with big names escaping the downtown blackout. Emma Stone and Jonah Hill were at the bar, while Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andre Balazs were at different tables in the restaurant," an insider told the Post.
Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, stayed at the Lowell Hotel, as did Harvey Weinstein and his wife, Georgina Chapman, the newspaper said.

Touch Photography: Capturing The Feel Of Surfaces
If you can see something on your computer, why shouldn't you be able to feel it? Touch is an important part of the sensory experience of being a human," says Katherine J. Kuchenbecker, an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the Univ. of Pennsylvania. With support from the National Science Foundation, she is working on capturing how an object feels and realistically recreating those sensations so that you can feel a virtual version of the object through a computer and other devices. She calls this process haptography or haptic (touch) photography, and it has many applications from medical simulation and training to online shopping.

After calling Tucson home for almost 20 years, the French-born performer Marianne Dissard is moving on.
She's got plans in Palermo, Sicily. But she's making the most of her last few weeks in town. She's booked two upcoming shows called Adieu Tucson. And it will feature a slightly different side of Dissard.
"I have a new band mate who's not from Tucson. He's from Seattle. And he comes from the world of hip-hop. And this is us meeting halfway between hip-hop and whatever it is I'm doing."
Asked to describe her own musical style, Dissard says "There's a strong tradition of chanson in what I'm doing, but it's also Americana, Tucson style. But it's tinged with Latin brass, Sergio Mendoza-type big band orchestra and things like that."
Of the French solo singing style chanson, Dissard says it has a "really heavy reliance on lyrics." Then she laughs. "Which is very ironic, because I sing in French and none of you are getting it."
Soon, Dissard will begin packing. Although she has plans to settle in Palermo, she admits she'll probably be commuting some between there and Seattle. And as for the city she leaves behind?
"Tucson has been home for 20 years and definitely every fiber of my being has been, you know, afflicted by it. But that's it. Life moves on."
This Saturday's show is also a benefit to help send a contingent of local musicians to the annual South by Southwest Music and Media Conference next week.
Dissard worked with the Tucson Music Factory to book two showcases. It will be her fourth trip to the venerable conference.
"And I swore this year that I would not go alone," she says. "So I wrangled up a lot of people from Tucson and made up two full showcase evenings for the festival. I basically called up the festival and said 'give me two nights. I gotta have my friends around.'"
Local musicians joining Dissard at South By Southwest include Giant Sand, Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkesta, Andrew Collberg, Tesoro, Gabriel Sullivan & The Taraf De Tucson, among others.
"Yes, I like to go out in style," says Dissard. "It's a big farewell gift, for sure. I've been helped by so many people out here. I see it as a give and take. You give, you take, you learn, you help the newer ones, the new generation. You get help by the older generation.
If I can do that to younger ones, I'll do it."

My favorite part was when Sophie started talking in real sentences. I like this part because then Larkin?s family could understand what Sophie wanted and they could get what she wanted.
I like this book because the author wrote it from Larkin?s point of view. I could really understand how Larkin felt in the book. Larkin liked Sophie, she was just like a little sister to him.
My favorite character is Sophie. I like Sophie because she wore her red boots everywhere, even to bed! I think that is really funny! I also liked Larkin because he had funny dreams. He dreamed that Sophie fell into the ocean, but she didn?t.
I recommend this book to 2nd and 3rd graders. I think they will really like it because it is funny and easy to read.

Chip Brinks just completed a 33-credit Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio!
Chip, a Real Estate Studies major from Southern California (with extensive experience in the Real Estate industry), wrote for the following topics:
- BA 238: Sales / Selling as a Profession
- RE 140: Intro to Property Management
- RE 155: Intro to Escrow
- MSD 117 and 161: Customer Relations
- BUS 157: E-Commerce
- PE 182: Tai Chi
- PE 183: Beginning Karate I and II
- PE : Swim Conditioning
- PAC 242: SCUBA – Open Water
- PAC 243: SCUBA – Advanced
Here is what Chip wrote about in his Final Reflective Essay in regard to his experiences with the PLA program:
Due to the self-discovery involved in the PLA process, I have developed additional learning skills which will empower me for the rest of my life. I now have become much more cognizant of learning and have gained a great deal of self-awareness as I develop knowledge acquired from new experiences. I have become more naturally curious about higher levels of knowledge as I apply the skills I have developed in this process.
Although I enjoyed the PLA process, I did find the pace to be very challenging and found it was wise to take only this course during each session. However, I found the PLA courses were very worthwhile as I have saved a tremendous amount of time in the pursuit of my degree without decreasing the quality of my education.
Congratulations Chip!

"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy has confessed the series' writers will reveal how Cory Monteith's character died, but they are holding off on the explanation as they are still coping with his loss.
The 31-year-old actor died in July after a heroin and alcohol binge, and his character on the hit series, Finn Hudson, was also given a final farewell, in an emotional episode that aired last week.
The episode picked up three weeks after Hudson's funeral, but a number of fans were left disappointed when it was not explained how his character passed away on the show.
Murphy, who wrote the episode, tells "Access Hollywood" that fans will get closure when it comes to Hudson's death, but viewers should not expect it any time soon.
He explains, "It's still such raw nerve for me. I still find it so painful to talk about and write about. We barely got through writing that episode. It was very heavy hearts. So I don't know, I'm sure at one point we will (explain his death). I think we have an obligation to sort of tell people how, but not any time soon."
Murphy also revealed "Glee" will end next year after six seasons.

March 15, 2005
LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2005 — In its first quarterly report of 2005, the UCLA Anderson Forecast asserts that the current expansion in the national economy is nearer its end than its beginning. While the report, released today, stops short of predicting a recession—at least exactly when the next recession will hit—it does outline a scenario that points towards a slowing of the economy and an eventual downturn. In California, slow growth is expected over the next few years, as a weak housing market offsets some of the strengths in other parts of the economy.
The National Forecast
In his report, UCLA Anderson Forecast Director Edward Leamer sheds light on the current economic expansion via an historical prism. Leamer points out that historically; economic expansions have not lasted very long, with five of the last nine lasting only 14 quarters or less. The current expansion is 12 quarters old right now and Leamer sees no growth spurt on the horizon that will extend it much further.
In a detailed discussion, Leamer reveals that the three longest expansions in history all experienced growth spurts during which the rate of growth of GDP was abnormally high and the rate of unemployment was driven down. Each expansion is different, with different stimuli bringing about the growth spurt. But Leamer sees no clear stimuli on the horizon in 2005, ruling out both tax cuts (which have already occurred) and monetary stimulus (which has also occurred through low interest rates). An increase in government spending is doubtful (unless it is wartime spending), leaving only exports as a possible ray of hope. Exports were a major factor in the length of the Reagan expansion, and the declining dollar vs. the Euro should stimulate this sector.
Leamer concludes with the assertion that a recession is in the future; he just doesn't know when yet. He doesn't see it in 2005, but believes it could happen in 2006.
The California Forecast
In California, UCLA Anderson senior economist Christopher Thornberg says that at best the state economy can be expected to maintain slow growth over the next few years as the weak housing sector saps off strength created in other parts of the state's recovering economy. There are some good economic indicators in California, however. The falling dollar has helped keep more entertainment production in state instead of moving overseas or to other parts of the country. It has also bolstered manufacturing and tourism. The high-tech industry is in turnaround, with greater employment in this sector just around the corner. Finally, the public sector may be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, with jobs returning in this area as well.
About UCLA Anderson Forecast
UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation, and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California, and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. Most recently, the Forecast is credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to declare the recession of 2001. Visit UCLA Anderson Forecast on the Web at http://uclaforecast.com.

2nd May 2006, 02:51 PM
This is a terrible story but worth posting. My cousin recently bought two springer spaniel pups and on the breeders instructions bought dry Pedigree adult food (not sure which one but will post when I know). She told her to soak the food for 15 minutes before feeding. This was working out fine until she had to buy replacement food. They only had the puppy variety so she went with that. She soaked it for 15 minutes and gave it to the dogs. One of the pups ate more than the other and soon thereafter was screaming in pain. She took the pup to the vet where it sadly died. It turns out that the food had swelled to 4 times it's normal size in the puppy's stomach and therefore it killed the puppy. I asked her what the instructions said and there was nothing about soaking the food, therefore I believe it should not have been soaked. She made a very innocent mistake with tragic results. :( Does anyone here know anything about soaking dry food and how it should be done properly? Needless to say she is being very careful how she feeds the remaining pup and she feels so guilty it would break your heart.

NASA launches communication satellite
NASA launched a new communication satellite Wednesday to stay in touch with its space station astronauts and relay more Hubble telescope images.
An unmanned Atlas V rocket blasted into the starry night sky carrying the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite.
This is the 11th TDRS satellite to be launched by NASA. The space agency uses the orbiting network to communicate with astronauts living on the International Space Station.
The first TDRS spacecraft flew in 1983; it recently was retired along with No. 4. The second was lost aboard space shuttle Challenger in 1986; Monday marked the 27th anniversary of the launch disaster.
This newest third-generation TDRS carries the letter K designation. Once it begins working, it will become TDRS-11. It will take two weeks for the satellite to reach its intended 22,300-mile-high orbit. Testing will last a few months.
NASA estimates the satellite costs between $350 million and $400 million.
Another TDRS spacecraft, L in the series, will be launched next year.
NASA wants at least seven TDRS satellites working in orbit at any one time. The one launched Wednesday will make eight.

In poll, postal vehicles come in last in ratings of driver attractiveness.
Letter carriers at the U.S. Postal Service have a lot to worry about these days: a dramatically diminished workforce, potentially dangerous after-dark deliveries and, of course, dogs.
Now you can add girl problems to the list.
According to a poll from Insure.com, women ranked "mail trucks" dead last when asked to evaluate the kind of vehicle attractive men drive.
Pickup trucks, sports cars and SUVs were the most popular options among the ladies, collectively accounting for three-quarters of the response. Mail trucks came in at just 1 percent.
Many Republicans in Congress have pushed for privatization of postal operations, and apparently, many women agree; UPS trucks came in two spots ahead of their Postal Service counterparts in the driver hotness rankings.
Insure.com polled 2,000 licensed drivers age 18 and over for the survey.

The first Brazilian national meeting will take place next sunday , February 12th, in almost every state in Brazil. There are many comments on how this kind of meeting usually doesn't work, and most of them until now, haven't. Have you ever been to an atheist meeting? Why, in your opinion, they don't usually work?
I've never been to one myself, but the ones I've heard of have all been a failure, since almost no one showed up. Below is the official banner of the atheist meeting. Give your opinions!

I really hope this one works out. I guess after that, it will only get better.

Rounding Third: MLB should do the right thing, but it won't
Philadelphia, PA – When the history books are done being written, the blown home run in Cleveland on Wednesday may very well go down as the worst in the history of baseball.
People can point to Don Denkinger's blown World Series call in 1985, or even Jim Joyce's error that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game in 2010, but Angel Hernandez not overturning what should have been a game-tying home run from Oakland's Adam Rosales takes the cake.
Like Joyce's miscue, people from all over the world were voicing their opinions on Twitter immediately after it happened, not to mention the millions upon millions of replays that were shown over the next couple of hours.
Basically if you are a borderline sports fan, you saw what happened. That's just the world we live in. Mistakes are highlighted and picked apart even more these days.
But unlike Joyce and Denkinger, Hernandez had a chance to rectify the situation through instant replay, yet he and his crew still got it wrong.
How is that even possible?
In case you are unaware, here's what happened:
With Oakland trailing by a run with two outs in the ninth, the Athletics' Adam Rosales seemingly tied the game with a home run off Tribe closer Chris Perez. But the shot was ruled a double even though replays clearly showed the ball clearing the wall and hitting a railing in left-center before caroming back onto the field.
"Everybody else said it was a home run, including their announcers when I came in here later," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "I don't get it. I don't know what the explanation would be when everybody else in the ballpark knew it was a home run.
"Clearly, it hit the railing. I'm at a loss, I'm at a complete loss."
Hernandez offered no apologies after the game. In fact, he seemed kind of miffed his call was even brought into question.
"It wasn't evident on the TV we had (that) it was a home run," Hernandez said. "I don't know what kind of replay you had, but you can't reverse a call unless there is 100 percent evidence, and there wasn't 100 percent evidence."
What kind of TV were these guys looking at? I saw the replay on my phone and could clearly see the ball hitting the railing. No matter what angle you look at, the ball still hits the railing.
Blown calls are a part of the game, but how can four people get it wrong after seeing it again?
I know the purists out there will cry that human error is part of the game, but this is the year 2013. Human error was supposed to be eliminated.
By the way, if you are waiting for an apology from Hernandez similar to the one Joyce handed out immediately after he made his mistake, keep waiting. The umpire's union was livid Joyce went as far as he did with that incident.
The umpires will not let that happen again, regardless if they know they are wrong.
MLB will likely release some sort of statement on Thursday agreeing with the umpires stating the replays they had were inconclusive and the rules state that once a call is made, it stands.
But there is a simple fix here.
Overturn the call and pick it up after Rosales' home run. It's happened before. Anyone remember the Pine Tar Game back in 1983? George Brett's home run was originally ruled an out, but after a review, the game was eventually picked back up from the home run.
That is exactly what should happen here. But it won't. And it's a shame.

Agilent EEsof EDA – Part I
Please note that contributed articles, blog entries, and comments posted on EDACafe.com are the views and opinion of the author and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the management and staff of Internet Business Systems and its subsidiary web-sites.
After devoting the first three issues of EDA Weekly under this writer's byline to
"The Role of Business Planning" in high tech on November 9, 2009, to the
"MAD Progress" at the Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division (MAD) on December 7, 2009, and to semiconductor IP provider
"Virage Logic – On the Move" on December 22, 2009, we turn now to yet another aspect of specialization in the world of EDA for this
February 01, 2010 EDA Weekly article that follows.
Accordingly, a first appointment was set up for early January 2010 with the leadership of the
EEsof EDA Division of Agilent Technologies, located at 1400 Fountain Grove Parkway, Santa Rosa CA, 94503.
During this first January 2010 appointment, the writer spoke with the following Agilent EEsof individuals:
Hebert (Marketing liaison),
Jim McGillivary (VP & General Manager),
Larry Lerner (Senior R&D Manager), and
Charles Plott (Product Marketing & Planning Manager). This initial session was the first of several subsequent get-togethers over two elapsed weeks as the structure of the narrative of Agilent EEsof took shape.
Why Choose Agilent EEsof EDA as an EDA Weekly Topic?
Agilent EEsof EDA describes itself these days as, "The leading supplier of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software for high-frequency and high-speed system, circuit, and modeling applications." While Agilent EEsof's financials have not been routinely published separately from those of the overall Agilent Electronic Measurement Group in which Agilent EEsof resides, the EDA industry generally acknowledges Agilent EEsof's market leadership position in annual revenue generation in its Radio Frequency (RF) niche (e.g. estimates are as high as 67% market share in 2009).
Not only that, according to noted EDA industry analyst Gary Smith, Agilent EEsof EDA sported sufficient annual revenues in a recent year to place Agilent EEsof 5th overall behind Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics and Magma among all EDA vendors! (Moreover, the writer recently learned that Agilent EEsof EDA has continued to flourish, and in 2009 Agilent EEsof revenues were approximately $120 million and the division's worldwide employment surpasses 400).
Just as the Electronics Intellectual Property (IP) niche has grown in recent decades (see
EDA Weekly on Virage Logic for example), other factors contributing to Agilent EEsof's growth are
the ever increasing data rates in high speed digital circuit boards and chips. Beyond pure RF and Microwave applications, Agilent's EDA technology is also helping signal integrity engineers deal with the complex issues created by these high speed data rates. Indeed, without such software design & analysis tools, high data rates can often lead to electronic systems that do not work at all.
The full story of
Agilent EEsof EDA since its founding in 1983 also involves the subsequent roles played by
Hewlett Packard and then the HP spin-off of
Agilent Technologies, both of which provide additional spice to the 27 year
Agilent EEsof narrative.
Finally, speaking of timing and signal integrity design challenges, the
DesignCon® Conference & Exhibition is just around the corner, scheduled for February 1-4, 2010 at the Santa Clara, CA Convention Center.
DesignCon is widely acknowledged as the definitive event for electronic design experts spanning chip, package, board, and system domains, addressing common issues in signal integrity, power management, interconnection, and design verification.
Not by coincidence,
Agilent Technologies is the Official Host Sponsor of DesignCon2010.
Agilent EEsof EDA Today:
These days
Agilent EEsof EDA provides its customers a broad spectrum of EDA software, including applications for microwave (MW), Radio Frequency (RF), high-frequency, high-speed, RF system, electronic system level (ESL), circuit, 3-D electromagnetic, physical design and device-modeling.
Agilent EEsof EDA offers both single user software products as well as enterprise-level solutions.
One unique aspect about this EDA organization is that its software is also used internally by hundreds of Agilent RF/MW engineers to help analyze and design most of Agilent's commercially-offered test and measurement equipment. "No doubt software is critically important, but at some point you actually need to build a circuit. Agilent, and prior to that HP, has always seen a strategic link between EDA and actual physical measurement. We often share algorithms, use models, and innovations across platforms – whether in the EDA or in the measurement world", said
Plott. "Whether measuring or simulating S-Parameters in linear circuits, or X-Parameters [1] in nonlinear circuits, we believe both software and test equipment are critical parts of a designer's tool box."
[1] Numbers in brackets designate FOOTNOTES at the end of this article.
Over the years to the present day,
Agilent EEsof EDA has evolved a
large infrastructure to both develop its software products and to support its worldwide customers (

The Structure of this Agilent EEsof EDA Narrative:
As the detailed narrative of the 27-year EEsof evolution began to emerge, it soon became clear that accurate reporting would demand more than one issue of the EDA Weekly. The writer and the EEsof team quickly recognized the historical cues that led to the following structure:
Part I: This first February 01, 2010 EDA Weekly article on Agilent EEsof EDA covers the period from EEsof's independent inception in 1983 until its merger with the Hewlett Packard Company in 1993; for purposes of Part I, the primary EEsof spokesmen herein for this era are
Larry Lerner [2] (at EEsof 1984 – present) and
Charles Plott [2] (at EEsof 1989 – present);
Part II: A future EDA Weekly article on EEsof will encompass the (a) post-merger years from1994 until the Agilent Technologies' spin-out from Hewlett Packard and subsequent IPO in 1999, as well as (b) the post spin-out years of rapid Agilent EEsof expansion from 2000 to 2010.
Part I: EEsof History (1983 –93):
The two individuals responsible for the 1983 start-up of
EEsof were
Charles J. ("Chuck") Abronson and
William ("Bill") Childs.
Prior to founding EEsof, Abronson was the president of Amplica, a microwave amplifier company located in Thousand Oaks, CA. After Amplica was purchased by COMSAT, Abronson formed EEsof and immediately hired Childs from COMSAT to manage EEsof's R&D efforts and to introduce a CAD methodology. Abronson and Childs quickly hit upon the innovative value of offering personal design software to a market previously dominated by more expensive, server-based solutions.
EEsof's Initial Focus:
To fulfill their desire to offer personal design software, EEsof chose the newly-available, inexpensive and rapidly growing
IBM personal computer platform, with a goal of
offering software tools "for every RF/microwave engineer" at multiple user companies. ("RF" range = 300 Hz to 3000 GHz).
EEsof's first software product was a high frequency linear circuit simulator called "Touchstone" . The EEsof Touchstone program is said to have quickly become popular among many microwave circuit designers in the specialized marketplace of high frequency engineers. As a result, EEsof began to realize a small but growing commercial revenue stream generated by Touchstone. Then in 1984, EEsof independently decided to market links to the then-popular
HP 8510 network analyzer to capture real-world data directly. This decision created the first formal interaction between HP and EEsof, and EEsof's
Lerner was the engineer at the time who worked on the first link.
"One of my first assignments at EEsof in 1984 was to develop the industry's first interface from a circuit simulator to the recently introduced 8510 Network Analyzer from Hewlett Packard," Larry Lerner said. "This early experiment validated a critical design and verification methodology that has improved how RF engineers do their work to this day."
In 1985, EEsof introduced "
for electrical and electronic simulation).
In 1987, EEsof introduced
ANACAT , a computer-aided testing tool that could import experimental test results directly into the software simulation environment.
Things were going well at EEsof, and in December 1987, the company celebrated its first $1 million revenue month.
During the same period, both before 1983 and for a period after 1983, the
Hewlett Packard Company (HP) was internally developing solely for its own use, very capable software tools for analyzing and designing high performance instrumentation.
While HP's internal software development results were better than most, this HP internal software development effort was typical of many leading manufacturing companies of the day: software designed to be used only internally
to give its hardware businesses performance and time-to-market advantages over competition . Such software tools for the most part were not then available commercially. Moreover, even if similar tools were commercially available from other suppliers, many manufacturing managers back then still believed that by using their own internally-developed proprietary software, they gained extra, unique advantages.
Among the HP internally developed software tools of that era was HP's own highly capable netlist-driven linear simulator (named 'Mantis' within HP). There was also a short period wherein HP began to OEM the Touchstone product from EEsof, but this business arrangement didn't last long, given what was on the HP horizon.
For by 1987, folks who were at HP at that time have told the writer that several business plans and product specification documents were circulating internally within HP. At this point it was clear that HP was committed to building up its
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) organization to enter the commercial EDA market. From the original business plans, one key motivation of HP to 'go commercial' was the desire by HP to provide a complete portfolio to all RF/MW R&D designers – i.e. both software and measurement. This fundamental business driver remains in effect today.
Beyond HP's linear simulator, two additional important developments were also underway on the HP side. First was the development of a complete schematic capture interface with graphical layout and back-annotation – a major change to the older netlist approaches being used previously. The second was the result of research that HP funded at UC Berkeley, where an HP employee named Ken Kundert and others within HP developed the first nonlinear, frequency domain simulator (harmonic balance). With the linear simulator, the design framework, the new nonlinear simulator and the required models, HP
was by 1988 fully prepared to launch into the market with its first commercial platform called the
HP Microwave Design System (HP MDS).
Around the same time (there are still friendly internal debates as to who was truly "first") EEsof was quick to develop a nonlinear, frequency domain simulation simulator called "
Libra ." This writer has been told on solid authority, that the technology behind Libra was developed completely within EEsof. Some external reports have implied that Libra came from the HP funded work that Ken Kundert and other HP employees commercialized from UC Berkeley. This implication is patently untrue, say EEsof veterans.
Lastly, it's also worth mentioning that around the same time,
Eagleware (formerly named Chip Busters in earlier days) was also quietly building up a large following in another segment of the market. Founded by
Randy Rhea in the mid 1980's, Eagleware developed its niche serving smaller companies with a cost-effective, easy-to-use, circuit simulation and synthesis tool set. This part of the story will be more relevant in EDA Weekly Part II of the Agilent EEsof narrative, because Eagleware would eventually join the Agilent EEsof team via acquisition. In fact, the former Eagleware CEO,
Todd Cutler , and former CTO,
Rob Lefebvre , occupy leadership roles within today's Agilent EEsof organization.
1988 -- 1993: Competition between EEsof and HP Intensifies
Many new competitive fronts between EEsof and HP emerged during this 5-year period. It was a time during which both organizations were independently focused in a commercial battle for mindshare among the world's RF/MW designers.
Customers were divided along several fronts:
Schematic Capture vs. Netlist: Whereas HP had an initial advantage with the Design Capture System of MDS, EEsof was quick to respond with
Academy , a front-end schematic capture user interface for both Touchstone and Libra.
PC vs. Unix: EEsof clearly had the better PC offering, whereas the HP software was developed predominately for Unix. That said, at the time HP had the advantage of being a supplier of both the software and the workstation.
System Simulation: In 1989 EEsof introduced
Omnisys , the first RF system-level simulator using block diagrams. For years, this was a competitive technical advantage for EEsof. HP eventually introduced a System Model Library in MDS to better balance the battlefield.
3D EM Simulation: In 1990, HP worked closely with a small team in Pittsburgh, PA (Ansoft) to develop the first full-wave electromagnetic simulator called
HFSS . HP sent a project manager to Pittsburgh to help manage the project and bring the original HFSS product to market. HP introduced this product on the cover of the February 1990 issue of Microwave Journal.
Planar EM simulation: Both vendors had relationships with
Sonnet (and the current, combined Agilent EEsof EDA organization still does). But both vendors also decided that it was strategically important to develop their own respective in-house technologies that could be natively integrated into their own platforms. HP had a first-to-market advantage with its
Momentum product, which came to market in 1992. (Over the next 18 years, as
Momentum advanced, it became one of the most successful and trusted EM technologies in the market).
Vendor Libraries: EEsof had amassed a good following of parts vendors that would supply S-Parameters in EEsof's platform – hence the "Touchstone" file format - which lives on today.
High-Frequency Time-Domain Simulation: EEsof's product
MW SPICE had been a long-time technical advantage. HP later introduced
HP Impulse , the first convolution time-domain simulator that allowed the accurate inclusion of frequency domain models to help neutralize this part of the battlefield.
There were many other EEsof-HP skirmishes with words and ads during the 1988 to 1993 period that went beyond mere product specs. Some were relevant, others were not. For example, a few EEsof folks at the time would occasionally challenge HP's ultimate commitment to stay in the commercial RF/MW software market. "I think we put all questions to bed about our commitment when HP acquired EEsof,"
Plott told the writer. "And today, seventeen years later, Agilent EEsof remains uniquely committed and out-invests any other vendor in this space."
The 1993 Merger of EEsof and Hewlett Packard:
In September 1993, HP signed a definitive agreement to acquire EEsof. How did this come about, you ask? The story is that EEsof's
Chuck Abronson first called the executive leadership of HP, to explore HP's willingness to sell off its software group. However, internal to HP, this software group had not only become strategic to HP's overall portfolio, but also it was growing rapidly – so there was understandably not a lot of HP interest in Abronson's overture. That's when the conversation turned to the reverse possibility of HP acquiring EEsof.
By this point both companies had grown to be about the same size, at approximately $20 million each in annual revenue. (The newly merged entity was estimated to be at just over $40 million in 1994 revenue).
Jake Egbert , now retired, was the GM on the HP side and he led the combined entity for the next seven years. Post HP acquisition, Chuck Abronson didn't stay long at EEsof, but Bill Childs helped during the critical transition period for about a year.
The immediate aftermath of the merger became an interesting time for the newly-combined business. For years EEsof and HP had been essentially focused on each other and the cultures at both companies had been predominately competitive. With the merger in 1993, the mood is said to have instantly changed. "This marked a period where we had to make a fundamental alteration in our organization. Without each other to focus on, we shifted much more attention to our customers' successes," said
Plott . "Even today, in some of the markets we serve, we have smaller competitors that try to lure Agilent EEsof EDA back to the pre-1993 competitively-focused culture. We're not going back. As long as we stay focused on innovating solutions to our customers' tough problems, competition seems to work itself out in the long run," Plott asserted.
Once merged, the two companies jointly marketed a combined and rationalized portfolio of simulation and analysis tools worldwide, eventually providing design solutions for applications including cellular telephones, wireless LANs, collision-avoidance radar, defense electronics and satellite communications links.
Thus ends
Part I: EEsof History (1983 -93).
The period from 1993 onward was a substantial growth period for the HP EEsof organization, with multiple technology innovations, acquisitions, partnerships, and expansions into new markets. These will be the subjects of Part II in this series.

Microsoft could soon regret not releasing a version of Microsoft Office for the iPad because Apple has stepped into the void and overhauled its own Office suite, iWork.
Until now, iWork seemed like it was nearly dead. It was released in 2009 and since then Apple has only given it minor updates, not a big overhaul.
But today Apple showed off a version of iWork that let's you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations in a browser. It supports Safari, Google Chrome and, believe it or not, Internet Explorer. It also works with Microsoft Office documents.
It stores documents in Apple's iCloud so you can work on the same document on your Mac, iPad or even a Windows 8 PC.
The updated iWork suite will be released later this year and a developer's preview version is available today.
Microsoft's latest version of Office (known as either Office 2013 or Office 365 Home Premium edition, depending on how you pay for it), can be installed on a Mac, but not on the iPad.
Apple didn't announce pricing, but assuming iWork undercuts Microsoft, iPad users should be happy.

Hot Wax Batik

Adult helper
Soap kettle
Paraffin wax
Iron – be careful to protect it from wax or use an old iron
Thick brown paper – like grocery bags
Cold water dye
Plain cotton fabric
Scratch paper
Old newspaper
1. Grab an adult to help you. You must have supervision for this project!
2. What is batik? Batik (pronounced 'Bah-Teak') is a technique used to dye fabrics. Wax is applied to the areas on a piece of fabric that are not to be dyed. There are various ways that this is accomplished, but the most common are for the hot wax to be "painted" onto the fabric using a brush or to be poured onto the fabric directly. Once the wax hardens, it has penetrated the fabric and it is now time to dye the fabric. The hard wax prevents the dye from penetrating the fabric in the areas it has been applied. The wax is removed after the dyeing process by using a solvent or heat.
3. Pick a fabric that you would like to dye. Thin cottons work well (not t-shirt cotton). You can buy remnants cheaply at a fabric store. You will need to make sure and wash the fabric before the activity for the dye to penetrate properly.
4. Melt the wax in a soap kettle or in the microwave. Please be careful, as hot wax can cause serious burns.
5. Mix the cold water dye according to package directions. Be careful not to get this on your clothing as it will NOT come out. Put the dye aside for now.

6. Sketch out your design on a piece of scratch paper. Make sure to keep in mind the size of your fabric and plan accordingly.
7. Put down some old newspaper to work on. Dip a q-tip into the wax and use it to draw the design on your bag. You could also use a fine-tipped paint brush to apply your design. Allow the wax to dry. This takes very little time.
8. Put on disposable gloves and immerse the fabric into the dye. Be careful not to get it on your clothes, as it will stain permanently!
9. Remove the fabric from the dye and allow it to dry.
10. Using an iron, remove the wax by pressing the fabric between two pieces of heavy brown paper. Grocery bags work well for this. It is best to use an old iron or extra paper to protect your iron from the wax.
11. Look! You have a beautiful fabric design!
12. Do not wash your fabric with other clothing as some of the dye may come off in the wash.

Back then, I thought I knew what "family" meant; that peculiar little word was a stand-in for all kinds of ideas, including "comfort," "security," "permanence," and especially "love." Not surprisingly, that relationship went sour, and unlike "real" family, who generally remain family forever whether you like it or not, this person has evaporated into the ether, and it's unlikely we'll ever meet again.
At roughly the same time the relationship with my family-facsimile was reaching its conclusion, a strange new, actual family member materialized from virtually nowhere. Turns out that, in addition to having a real-life younger brother, I also have a real-life older sister.
Our father, who art in heaven (or wherever you go when you die)
My mother was 20 and my father was 50 when I was born. The man who supplied half of my DNA had been married once before to a much younger woman, and that marriage produced a first daughter. She grew up in Southern California, not far from where I spent a good chunk of my childhood. She is the same age as my own mother.
We met in a fated fashion literally days before my move to Paris. For the last 20 years, we'd been living within 10 miles of each other, she in Marin county, where she and her husband, both psychologists, cohabitate with an old dog in a beautifully manicured home, and I in San Francisco, in a well-worn but lovable old Western Addition apartment shared with a dog and human partner.
Separated by decades and oceans, but sisters just the same.
After a brief email exchange followed by a phone call, then a face-to-face meeting, we packed in as much socializing and getting-to-know-each-othering as possible in the span of a few days, which was all I had to spare before cramming everything into a giant "to-go" container and setting off on our overseas adventure. Our time together was spent poring over old photos and artwork (our father was a painter), comparing personal histories, staring at each other's faces searching for resemblances, and trying to define the idea of "family" within the context of our newly formed shared experience.
Portrait of an artist as a young man
My sister and her husband came to Paris last week. It had been 15 years since their last visit here, and my sense was that they wanted to fall under the City of Light's fabled romantic spell a deux. Their temporary home was a fifth-floor walk-up in the thick of the Marais. Over seven days we shared several meals together, in restaurants and at our home in the dingy northwest of Paris, where we attempted to fortify our long-distance connection over Indian and Ethiopian food, and seal it tightly for safekeeping.
Yes, I dragged everyone to Chettinadu for my beloved thali
This relationship, like so many others that have been formed and broken over the years, feels tentative. Will our freshly soldered bond remain intact simply because we share some DNA and a mutual love of art and travel? Is our connection not susceptible to the same sorts of fissures, fractures, and even deaths that the standard-issue friendships are prone to?
What does "family" mean to you, and who falls under that sheltered definition?

"Please don't quit," Nina said. "Brunch is so much more interesting when there is Elizabeth drama to talk about."
"I would never quit," I said. "I love this job. I just don't love this little development, though I guess the silver lining is that it's entertaining for you." I tossed a breadcrumb at Nina and she ducked.
"Oh, it is for me too," Ashley added.
"I guess I would feel a lot better about this whole thing if I knew Elizabeth's angle," I said.
"Maybe she was panicking over the thought of William getting a hot new assistant, and then she saw you, remembered how in lurveee you are with Justin, and thought you would be a safe bet. Bam." Nina slammed her hand down on the table, making our bloodies quiver in their glasses. "Mystery solved."
"I thought of that," I said. "But that's contingent on the fact that she is actually with William for real, and I just don't think she is. She doesn't need his money, he's not good looking enough for her, and if anything, his reputation drags her down. That's the piece of the puzzle that's missing—why she's with him."
"Maybe he has a really big penis," Ashley offered. The elderly couple brunching to our left glared at us.
"Sorry," Ashley mumbled.
"Or maybe she just really loves him," Nina said. "Remember, Elizabeth doesn't have the greatest reputation herself. They could just be two scumbags, drawn to each other's scumminess and madly in love."
"Doubtful." I took one final sip of my drink. "We ready?"
Justin and Rick were throwing a Kentucky Derby party at a bar in Murray Hill (despite the fact that Justin feels that at 29, he is approximately four and a half years too old to go to bars in Murray Hill). I plunked the large pink hat I'd purchased for the occasion on my head and we were off.
"Dahling, you look fab," Justin's sister, Becca, said when I made my entrance. She and her fiancé were in the city doing more wedding prep, but were taking a break to drink mint juleps and bet on a horse, because, priorities.
"Why thank you." We fake air kissed and I re-introduced her to Nina and Ashley. Justin sauntered over, wearing a seersucker suit, a beer in his hand.
"What can I get you ladies to drink?" he asked. We decided to try the mint julep, even though I'm incapable of taking a sip of bourbon without shuddering. But…when in Rome!
An hour or so into the party, I stopped tasting the bourbon in my drink (always a sign to switch to water). I was standing at the bar, waiting on a glass of H2O, when Justin's brother appeared at my side.
"Hey, Josie."
"Robbie, hi." I gave him a hug. "When did you get here?"
"Like 10 minutes ago." He signaled to the bartender, asked me what I wanted, and ordered for both of us.
"So how is the new job going?" he asked while we waited for our drinks.
"I am loving it," I said. Then the bourbon made me add, "Except for one small issue that involves your old college pal, Elizabeth."
Robbie laughed. "That girl is a piece of work. What did she do now?"
I told him the whole story. Justin had heard it too, but he was less into playing Nancy Drew with me. I believe his exact words when I'd told him about the encounter in William's office were, "It's taking all of my willpower not to say, 'I told you so.' Can we please change the subject?'" I can't imagine he'd want me talking about this to his brother, but what can I say? I'm a curious girl and booze gives me loose lips!
"So that's her plan," Robbie said when I'd finished.
"What does that mean?"
"Elizabeth's father cut her off," Robbie said. "He's been threatening to for years, but he finally did it a few months ago. I think he wanted her to get back together with Peter, settle down, and stop partying. When she screwed that up again, he wasn't too pleased and told her she didn't deserve his support any more….monetary or otherwise."
"So she decided to attach herself to the next cash cow she could find?"
"That…or have the first grandchild in the family, pull at daddy's heart strings, and get back on the family plan. Then she doesn't even have to deal with someone like William and can go back to living the life she wants to live. She'll just hire a nanny to raise her kid."
I thought about Robbie's version for a moment…if it was true, it meant that Elizabeth wouldn't care if William cheated on her. If anything, William cheating on her gave her an acceptable excuse to leave him—her father wouldn't expect her to stay with a guy who was scamming on her, especially when a child was involved. Maybe I was a "safe" choice as an assistant not because she thought I wouldn't respond to William's advances, but because she thought I would.

"Hey, you want to meet a WASP?" The answer was a resounding yes from students involved in one of the many Aviation Career Education programs that visited AirVenture. While in the warbird area they had the opportunity to meet WASP Marty Wyall, class of 44-10.
"Fly Girl is painted just like the ones we flew at Avenger Field," explained Wyall, who noted that she was part of the very last class of WASP. "I was very fortunate to attend, let alone finish," she said.

JetBrains has announced the release of YouTrack 1.0 bug and issue tracking system.
Dissatisfied with how much time working with them generally takes, the company designed YouTrack -- a web-based, keyboard-centric issue tracker originally used internationally by JetBrains' own development teams.
"We at JetBrains use issue tracking tools extensively to respond to user feedback and assure product quality. However, over the years we found existing tools just not up to par in terms of fast bug reporting, search and modification," said JetBrains' Sergey Dmitriev. "Finally, we came up with a solution that suits our needs perfectly, and is user-friendly to both developers and casual bug reporters. To solve the majority of issue-handling tasks, YouTrack provides two keyboard-driven controls -- a search box and a command window. To us as developers, that makes life a lot easier!"
YouTrack offers the following key features:
- Bug reporting with a single shortcut from anywhere within YouTrack.
- Query-based search with auto-completion and highlighting.
- Intuitive commands to quickly execute batch operations on selected issues.
- Natural-language-like query and command syntax.
- Extensive keyboard support for creating, editing, and navigating between issues easily.
- AJAX-based user interface for extremely fast issue handling.
- Importing existing projects from JIRA 3.x.
- Integration with external tools, including LDAP, OpenID, and JetBrains TeamCity.
YouTrack is the first mature product developed using JetBrains Meta Programming System (MPS). Moreover, JetBrains has been successfully using YouTrack with its own development projects.
YouTrack 1.0 is available in two editions:
- Professional Edition: Ideal for small to medium teams; limited to 10 projects and 20 user accounts, and doesn't support LDAP authentication.
- Enterprise Edition: Everything a large team needs; full functionality for any number of projects and users.
Both editions come with 1 year of free technical support and upgrades.

The evolution of organisms leads to biodiversity. Many of the researchers at SNG are therefore focused on evolution-related topics
Evolution is the result of small, stepwise changes in the hereditary traits of living organisms from one generation to the next. These traits are encoded in the form of genes that are being copied during reproduction and passed on to the offspring. Spontaneous, random mutations create variants (alleles) of these genes, which lead to genetically determined differences between individuals. In species that procreate by means of sexual reproduction, the mixing (recombination) of the parents' genes additionally increases the genetic diversity. Evolution occurs when the frequency of these alleles changes within a population; i.e., these characteristics increase or decrease in the population. This either occurs through natural selection (different reproduction rate) or randomly through so-called genetic drift. The description of the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin 150 years ago in the course of the Enlightenment led to a revolutionary new world view.
[ALPHABETICAL – Section head/researcher with a special focus on evolution]
Evolution research at the DZMB (German Center for Marine Biodiversity Research) For many years, the study of deep sea organisms has been at the center of the research activity at the DZMB. Questions concerning the origin and evolution of the species diversity in this hitherto only inadequately studied biotope are of particular interest here: Which evolutionary processes lead to the diversity of deep sea denizens? What are the morphological and genetic adaptations of deep sea organisms, as compared to shallow water species? The answers to these questions help us to better understand the immense diversity in this alien habitat.

Dr. Jörg Habersetzer – Senckenberg (Frankfurt) Bats, as actively flying mammals, are only rarely found in the fossil record. However, approx. 700 individuals from four different families have been documented from the World Heritage Site "Messel Pit. " The exceptional state of preservation of stomach contents, inner ears and flight apparatus made it possible to draw conclusions regarding the habits of these Eocene mammals. Among others, micro-radiography and micro-CT were used to demonstrate the inner ear's ability for echo-location, and, in comparison with individual specimen from America and Africa, the "flight first" hypothesis could be supported.
Dr. Jörg Habersetzer – Senckenberg (Frankfurt) Darwinius masillae was described as a new genus and species by an international team of researchers, which included the scientists Dr. Franzen and Dr. Habersetzer from Frankfurt. The world's most completely preserved fossil primate to date came from the World Heritage Site "Messel Pit" and was examined using various methods, among others micro-CT. The fossil ("Ida") triggered a discussion of the evolution of early primates on an international level (48 mio., wet-nosed vs. dry-nosed primates). The original publication and all of the high-resolution images are available for free (J. L. Franzen et al. PLoS ONE 4, e5723; 2009).

Human-ethological Film Archive - Frankfurt This is the world's largest archive of humanity's bio-cultural diversity. Founded 50 years ago by Eibl-Eibesfeldt, the archive candidly documents the everyday life of people all over the world, in particular in five cultures that were studies continuously over many years. Handed over to Senckenberg in 2014, this unique and comprehensive documentation is now being made available to researchers from a wide array of disciplines. In our work regarding biocultural evolution, it is an ideal starting point for the study of the interrelationship between universality and diversity in the culture and behavior of humans.

Prof. Axel Janke – BiK-F Long-scale evolutionary processes such as the origin of mammals and species formation are described by genome data with an amazing level of precision. Using sequence analyses and the distribution patterns of mobile genetic elements, we examine the relationships, speciation and gene flow in mammals. The genome data show that evolution is not necessarily a bifurcate process, as described by Darwin 150 years ago. We are particularly interested in these processes in bears, giraffes and kangaroos.

Prof. Sven Klimpel, Dr. Thomas Kuhn – BiK-F, SGN Parasites and pathogens are integral components of all ecosystems. They infect and harm other organisms for a brief period or for a longer duration, and their survival is not only determined by the physiological capacity, but in particular by the genetic adaptability to changing abiotic and biotic factors. Based on phylogenetic and phylogeographic, population-genetic and genomic analyses, we examine the co-evolutionary connections in host-parasite/pathogen systems within various invertebrate and vertebrate classes.

The development of different types of teeth in the dentition is among the selective key developments in the evolution of mammals. The Cenozoic saw the development of an incredible diversity of tooth shapes with specialized adaptations. We apply innovative computer methods to compare the bite contact of various teeth, and we compare the structural adaptations in the masticatory apparatus with function-morphological and biomechanical movement and stress analyses, in order to gain a better understanding of the impact of the habitat and the food in the developmental history of humans.
Prof. Markus Pfenninger – BiK-F All evolutionary changes originate in frequency changes of genetic traits in populations. We use population-genomic and experimental methods to study neutral and selective processes that lead to an adaptation to environmental factors, the emergence of reproductive isolation and thus speciation. Our main focus is on the impact of spatial and temporal climate differences on the genetic composition of populations. We use chironomids, Limnaeid snails and fishes as model organisms for our studies.
Dr. Christian Printzen – Botany and Molecular Evolution Research, Cryptogam Section Lichens constitute ancient, perfected symbioses between fungi and photosynthetic algae or cyanobacteria. In most cases, one partner is unable to survive without the other. Their evolution is therefore subject to rather specialized restrictions. The Cryptogam section applies methods from the fields of population genetics, ecology and phylogenetic tree calculation to study various aspects of the evolution of lichen fungi and algae, from their ecological adaptation to their phylogeny.

Hybridization and ployploidy (multiplication of complete sets of chromosomes) play an important role in the evolution of terrestrial plants. Both processes are frequently coupled and can also be understood as "evolutionary leaps." In polyploid hybrids, both the genome and the transcriptome are reorganized, which often leads to reproductive isolatition and consequently speciation. We work with plants from the rose family as model systems (genera Potentilla and Rosa) in order to study these phenomena by means of population-genetic, genomic and transcriptomic methods.

PD Dr. Irina Ruf – SGN Frankfurt The mammalian skull shows remarkable evolutionary transformations, in particular in the nasal and ear regions. By means of histology, micro-computer tomography and virtual 3D reconstruction, we record internal skull structures, which we analyze under comparative anatomical, function-morphological, ontogenetic, systematic and evolutionary aspects. Our special emphasis in this area is on the evolution and the functional adaptation of the mammalian ear. Our research is currently focused on rodents, lagomorphs, carnivores, even-toed ungulates and various extinct groups of mammals.
Prof. Imke Schmitt - BiK-F Mutualistic symbioses are interrelationships between organisms of two species that are beneficial for both parties. In addition to Darwinian evolution (gradual changes in hereditary traits), mutualistic organisms have the possibility to adapt to their environment by selecting locally adapted symbionts. We analyze how evolutionary processes, e.g., selection, coevolution or exchange of symbionts, and ecological factors (climate) influence the genomes and the association patterns of mutualists. Our model organisms are lichen-forming fungi and their symbiotic green algae.
Dr. Krister T. Smith – Senckenberg-Frankfurt By hosting transitional forms, the fossil record contains the only direct proof of the evolutionary process. We study the evolutionary history of reptiles, using fossils from widely scattered deposits in Europe and North America. We focus on the historical impact on the distribution patterns of lower vertebrates, which can be traced back to prehistoric climate change, and the origin of adaptations that are documented by the outstanding level of preservation of the fossils from the Eocene pit in Messel (preserved scales on the lizard foot, left).
Prof. Marco Thines – BiK-F Biotic interactions shape the evolution of organisms, both in long- and short-scale processes. Paired with molecular-biological studies and experiments, genomic, phylogenetic and population-biological studies can shed light on the question how organisms evolve in interaction with their biotic environment. We examine the processes of adaptation, niche occupation and speciation as well as superordinate evolutionary patterns, primarily in the fungus-like Oomycetes and plant pathogens.
Dr. Sonja Wedmann – Senckenberg Research Station Messel Pit Insects are an extremely diverse group of organisms, both in respect to their high number of species as well as their wealth of diverse life forms. Currently, science is still far from describing and understanding the full diversity of recent insects; the diversity and evolutionary history of fossil insects has been studied in even less detail. Fossils can give us essential insights into the evolution of insects, and we place special emphasis on an intensive study of the 47 million year old insects from the Messel pit.
Prof. Dr. Georg Zizka – Senckenberg Research Institute and Nature Museum Frankfurt and Goethe University Based on systematic-taxonomic processes, we study the phylogeny, evolution of traits, historical biogeography as well as population genetics of various groups of flowering plants, in particular Bromeliaceae, Poaceae, and Ochnaceae. Besides the question about the role of key characteristics and environmental factors in species formation and distribution, we are interested in genetic analyses as a means of reconstructing the speciation process and supporting species boundaries.

Nearly everyone dreams of living in a comfortable place. A house that is beautifully designed and safe is what you want. But you may be wondering as to how you know these things and if the home is holding up as it should as it ages. The solution to the feelings of uncertainty is that you need to have a thorough inspection of the entire structure so that you can make your final decision on buying with more information than the sellers disclosure often gives.
First you need to find a good house inspector. The report of that person on the house can have a big impact on your purchase. To help find the perfect inspector to hire ask for recommendations from friends and family. You can ask if they have hired someone before and that they can recommend to help you with what you need. They can give you an honest answer. Not only that, but you may also get the names or the agencies to avoid.
You can also look over the training and experience with the home inspector. You should check if the inspector was able to get a good education and certification with a national association such as the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (INACHI).
It is also important to know how long the inspector has been an active home inspector. Many inspectors perform home inspections part time and on weekends. Find one who does it full time and have several years of experience.
For more tips on finding a home inspector visit home inspector in Ohio and look for the link for a free video and tips.

1. Export game video to local file (not just utube,fb)
2. At the end of a game, an option to create challenge with player start positions reversed
3. Re-play from turn X without having to hit "play" for each turn. In crowded maps you often have to replay many times to see who is dying in a group, or you want to go back and track to see where a vatform was generally going before you lost sight of it. Maybe add a little log option which details "Red MG(4) killed Green Sniper(2)" with the characters being selectable from there.
4. I was going to suggest going beyond 1 turn ahead - a whole second turn might be too much, but maybe enough to complete any in-flight weaponry?

Ann Eickelberg
Class of 2012
Major/Minor: Mathematics and Seconday Education Certification/Chemistry
A self-described overachiever, Ann Eickelberg might be selling herself a little short. A Peer Mentor, an intern at the student center, an active participant in the Best Buddies program, and a member of the Douglass Cater Society and Pi Lambda Theta Honor Society, Ann was also one of the captains of Washington College's women's lacrosse team.
Ann wasn't a star recruit for the Shorewomen. In fact, she wasn't even with the team at the start of her freshman year. That's because she spent her first semester in college at another school. Still, she was welcomed with open arms.
"Even though it was mid-year and everyone had already made their friends, I felt that people were bending over backwards to include me. This is a great aspect of the school—when you walk to class and say 'Hi' to almost everyone you pass. I began to experience that after only one week at Washington College."
Just as the College community wasted no time in welcoming her, Ann wasted no time putting in the hard work needed to improve her chances to play lacrosse. She earned her spot on the team, earned her playing time, and has now earned a role as a team captain. Her passion for the game and tireless work ethic has provided the motivation.
"I think that when you are dedicated to a sport, to your coaches, and to your team, that is when you truly enjoy playing the game," Ann says. "Coach Julika [Blankenship] always tells us 'Games are won when no one is watching,' and I could not agree more. I know that through preparation and hard work, any player can achieve her goals."
Preparation and hard work are themes running throughout Ann's college experience. Balancing a wide range of campus and athletic commitments with a mathematics major and certification in secondary education, Ann plans ahead each week ("so I never fall behind") and has demonstrated the desire to always give 100 percent in everything she does.
Ann's next challenge lies across the Atlantic Ocean. She will be traveling to Tanzania this summer as part of a program with Professor Tahir Shad. With her background in education, she will be able to volunteer in schools there. "I will be introduced to a new language, new cultures and new lifestyles. The experience hopefully will improve my teaching abilities for the future."
No doubt Ann will make the most of her time in Tanzania and beyond. She wouldn't settle for anything less.
