When you have
multiple sclerosis (MS), you may have certain physical
cognitive challenges. Rehabilitation—including
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive
retraining—may help reduce these disabilities.
rehabilitation (rehab) program will depend upon your specific needs based on the
type of MS that you have and how it has impacted your daily living. You do
not need to be severely disabled to enjoy the benefits of rehab. Your
rehab may include a combination of the following therapies or only
one, depending on your personal needs.
Relapsing-remitting MS, the most common type of MS,
may cause a variety of physical problems at different times. Your physical
therapy program will reflect the kinds of exercises you are able to do at any
given time.
Physical therapy will usually consist of alternating
exercise with periods of rest for the best results. Depending on your ability,
exercise usually includes gentle aerobic exercise (such as walking) and
aquatics—exercising in water—which reduces the effects that gravity has on your
muscles and joints. You should be able to obtain a greater
range of motion in the water.
Your need for occupational
therapy will depend on your personal symptoms and disability from MS.
Occupational therapy may help with activities such as getting dressed, brushing
your teeth, grooming, eating, cooking, cleaning your house, or any other task
that you are having difficulty completing.
occupational therapist will assess your living
environment to see whether you need
assistive devices such as a cane to help you walk,
hooks to help you button your clothes, an electric toothbrush, or a
The occupational therapist may help the physical
therapist recommend strengthening and stretching exercises and other activities
that will help you the most.
Speech therapy may be part of your
rehab if weak facial muscles or lesions (injured tissue from
demyelination) in the brain have affected your ability
to talk or swallow.
Your normal speech rhythm may be interrupted
by long pauses between words or syllables. You may also begin to slur your
words or have a nasal tone when you speak. Speech therapy may help strengthen
the muscles in your tongue, cheeks, mouth, and lips, which may reduce these
If you have difficulty swallowing, a speech therapist
may recommend strengthening exercises and help you identify foods that are
easier to swallow.
Many people with MS develop
some kind of cognitive impairment—usually slowed thinking, reasoning,
remembering, or concentrating—from
demyelination and the interruption to the flow of
messages to and from the brain. But only a small number of people have
resulting cognitive problems severe enough to interfere with daily activities.
For these people, cognitive retraining may help reduce cognitive
Cognitive retraining offers ways to reduce the effects
of cognitive disability. For instance, you may become better organized by
retraining yourself to rely on a notebook, computer, cell phone, or
filing system to help you store and recall information.
Rehabilitation (rehab) for MS includes physical therapy,
speech therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive retraining. Rehab
needs vary depending on the type of MS you have. Your program will be tailored
to your specific needs.
MS rehab may be effective at reducing
disability caused by MS. It includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy
along with cognitive retraining if needed. MS affects people differently,
depending on the location of lesions in the central nervous system. You may
only need rehab when symptoms occasionally flare up, or you may need
continual rehab services if your symptoms are constant.
Continue to Why?
Rehabilitation (rehab) may help you live a more productive life, especially if
your symptoms are constant or severe. Physical and occupational therapies may
help keep you mobile, speech therapy may help you continue to communicate well,
and cognitive retraining may help with memory and organization. All types of
rehab will be tailored to fit your specific needs.
primary goal of physical therapy is to help prevent physical complications that
may occur with MS such as
contractures (abnormal shortening of muscles) or
pressure sores (bedsores) if you are immobile.
I don't need rehab if my symptoms are not
You do not need to be severely disabled to
benefit from rehab. It may help you restore and maintain your body's
ability to move or function, make you feel better, reduce your pain, and
improve your ability to perform daily activities. It is important to get
guidance from a health professional trained in rehab for MS, though,
in order to derive the maximum benefits possible.
Continue to How?
Your personal physical therapy
program to restore and maintain mobility will depend on the severity and
duration of your MS symptoms. You may need physical therapy only occasionally
as symptoms flare. Or you may need it daily to reduce constant symptoms.
Your ability to perform the exercises will help your therapist know
which exercises to prescribe. Most therapy can be done at home either alone or
with an assistant after an initial training program at the therapist's office.
Occasional office visits will be needed to help the therapist monitor your
progress. All exercise programs should allow you time to "cool off" in between
exercises, since heat can make MS symptoms worse. The most common types of
physical therapy include:
Occupational therapy usually
first includes an assessment to find out your needs and to see whether assistive
devices are needed. The occupational therapist will provide you with:
MS can cause problems in speech,
speech patterns, and with swallowing when lesions form in the brain and
interfere with message flow in the nerves. Speech therapy may help you:
Cognitive retraining is a
fairly new area of MS rehab. Its goal is to help you improve cognitive
function if you have any cognitive impairment, such as difficulty remembering,
caused by MS. Cognitive retraining may help you:
Mobility problems caused by MS are
While MS may cause problems with mobility,
there are many ways to reduce how it affects you. Gentle aerobic or aquatic
exercises may restore and maintain your ability to move muscles. Be sure to
cool off as you exercise, since heat may make your symptoms worse. Assistive
devices such as canes, walkers, or wheelchairs are also available if weakness
affects your walking. Gentle exercise may also reduce pain and stiffness
associated with MS attacks.
I don't need rehab since my symptoms
from MS only flare up occasionally.
Even if you have only occasional flare-ups,
rehab may help you and your family understand your condition. It also
may help you keep your muscles stretched and toned to reduce the impact of
symptom flare-ups. Rehab may make you aware of future symptoms to
watch for, such as difficulty remembering, speaking, or swallowing. Early
treatment of MS symptoms may reduce their impact on your life.

A template for an employee form could also contain a portion asking for the employees office extension number. This would probably be part of the form especially in big companies where an employee may be reached by another in a different branch office through phone. The social security number will be part of the template. It will provide the company everything it has to know about the employee. If he has an outstanding warrant of arrest from the police, if he is an outstanding debt, what responsibility he has, what violations he did, etc. Other possible parts of the employee form template are the date of hire of hire of the employee, whether he is on a part time schedule or a full time one, a section where he has to say whether he just graduated or not, his pay rate, etc.
A printable form is simply a form that can be printed in any printer, regardless of the specifications of the file type. From business invoices to fax sheets to MoUs, printable forms are indispensable in any professional set-up They may be created in Microsoft Office or customised through other online application downloads. Below we shall discuss some easy ways to create your own printable form in some easy and quick steps.

Original art
A bookplate, or an ownership mark, was very popular in Estonia in the 20th century. During more than a century-long period of development Estonian bookplate art has become a multifaceted art phenomenon of distinguished design level, an interesting and diverse collection of which is available in the National Library. The collection is one of the largest in Estonia, comprising over 17 000 bookmarks and providing a complete overview of the development of our bookplate art. The collection holds the first bookplates by Paul Raud and Udo Ivask, the founders of this art, as well as works by all former top artists (Eduard Wiiralt, Günther Reindorff, Hando Mugasto, Märt Laarman) up to the 1990s.
Book illustrations
The design and illustration of books in the first decades of the 20th centuries became systematic and professional. The National Library purchased the first originals of book illustrations in the 1980s, the illustrations of Märt Laarman to the book Väike Illimar by Friedebert Tuglas (Tallinn, 1962).
The oldest originals in the collection are from 1911 – Rudolf Lepik's Art Nouveau style illustrations for the album Pärnu maakonna laulupidu (Song Festival of Pärnumaa). The collections holds Villu Toots' design to the magazine Kõigile from 1939 and Günther Reindorff's illustrations to Valgekihv (White Fang) by Jack London from 1940.
The unique collection holds over 8000 original illustrations for 650 books. Represented are distinguished Estonian illustrators from the second half of the 1930s to the present day.
Explore the collection here
The Graphic Art Collection includes more than 800 graphic sheets and over 300 graphic art portfolios. In the recent years, a comprehensive survey of the art collection of the National Library has been conducted by the art historian Jüri Hain whose research has resulted in producing the following catalogues, introducing the art collection: Euroopa 17. sajandi sügavtrükigraafika Eesti Rahvusraamatukogus (17th Century European Intaglio Graphics in the National Library of Estonia) (Tallinn, 2004), Euroopa 18. sajandi sügavtrükigraafika Eesti Rahvusraamatukogus (18th Century European Intaglio Graphics in the National Library of Estonia) (Tallinn, 2005), Sajand Eesti puugravüüri klotsidel (A Century of Estonian Wood-Engraving) (Tallinn, 2006), Eesti graafika 1900-1940 Eesti Rahvusraamatukogus (Estonian Graphic Art 1900-1940 in the National Library of Estonia) (Tallinn, 2008), Pallaslaste maalikunst Eesti Rahvusraamatukogus (Paintings from the Pallas Art School in the National Library of Estonia) (Tallinn, 2008).

It's not only good for a town to have a Master Plan to follow, it's now a law. The state requires all communities and townships to have a plan on file and they have until 2011 to get the job done.
Morenci has a Master Plan, but the 1979 date inside the front cover points to the need for an update.
Morenci planning commission members have discussed the need to renew the document and topic came to the forefront again Monday night as the commission kicked off a new year.
The Master Plan serves a land use guide to make sure changes take place in a logical, efficient manner that will best benefit the community.
Morenci's residential zoning administrator Jack Baird told the commission that the old plan is a little vague.
"We have to project how areas could be used and it has to show how we're going to do it," Baird said.
Baird said that growth in Lenawee and Hillsdale counties has been slow compared to many areas of the state, yet the potential exists and the community should be ready for changes if they were to arrive.
Commission member Scott Merillat agreed with the need for a more specific plan. If residential growth is pegged for a particular area, then the plan must show that adequate infrastructure and utilities are available and it must tell how they will be delivered to the area.
City administrator/clerk Renée Schroeder said she received very rough estimates for the cost of hiring a firm to assist with Master Plan development. One was listed at $7,500 and the other at $10,000.
Merillat was asked if he thought it was necessary to hire a firm for the job. He said the work itself isn't particularly difficult, but he thinks it's beyond the scope of anyone on the commission to have the time to devote to the project. Updating the plan has been talked about for months, but no action was ever started.
"No one has the time to follow through on all the demands," he said about the volunteer planning group.
The work could be done in-house, he said, and then an outside firm could be hired to review it.
Commissioners voted to ask city council to devote up to $10,000 to the project in the 2009-10 budget.

UPDATE: The DTrace TextMate Bundle is now on Beta 3 and I am no longer hosting it, it is on GitHub and will be updated there. You should also go to GitHub to get the latest version and fixes for the bundle. I've been working for a little while on a DTrace Bundle for TextMate to make life writing DTrace Scripts a lot easier and now you can download Beta 1 of the DTrace TextMate Bundle. Now I should warn you it's very rough, but the bulk of the functionality is there. So if you are okay with an evolving bundle for TextMate go ahead and try it. Heres a video showing it off You can download it here: http://github.com/Machx/dtrace-textmate-bundle/tree/master This bundle is open source and is hosted at github: http://github.com/Machx/dtrace-textmate-bundle/tree/master. So go get git and you can keep it in sync with the latest fixes. Here are the things that work: Syntax Highlighting (mostly) D Language Code Folding All Tab Triggers All Included Scripts (Core Data, Garbage Collection, Cocoa Events, etc.) Bugs/What Doesn't work After you do a tab trigger if you immediately try to do another tab trigger TextMate won't let you (don't know if this is my bug or a TextMate bug) Syntax Highlighting only highlights with one color (this will be corrected in the future) Run in Terminal Command doesn't work right now There is a menu item "More Mac OS X D Scripts" that doesn't contain anything at the moment, in time several useful DTrace scripts will be added, but for now it's empty

I haven't used your bundle yet. Just wanted to say that in TextMate you are still in "tab" mode until you hit tab placeholder $0. For example in your snippet Objective-C Target Block.tmSnippet, you have $4 as the last placeholder. Use $0 instead, this will let you immediatly tab-complete again. Also I think that there is an implicit $0 at the end (this might have been changed though) if you do not insert one, which is very annoying since an addtional tab will bring you outside the braces. Good luck with your bundle, feel free to join ##textmate on freenode (irc) if you need any help.

Chiming in again ;).
I see that you are using bare tabstops $1, $2 etc. It is generally a good idea to put a placeholder in your tabstops, like ${1:some name}. The TextMate manual has a good (short) read on the subject. http://manual.macromates.com/en/snippets

HP's rumoured touchscreen handset has showed up in the for of the iPaq Data Communicator, a pop-out QWERTY Windows Mobile handset, with a solid but predictable spec sheet. You'll find a full range of 3G capabilities, Wi-Fi, a-GPS, a 3.1MP camera with autofocus and flash all behind a 2.8in, 320 x 240 screen, controlled with a 5-way "optical navigation" key. It measures in at the same respectable 1.7cm thickness as the T-Mobile G1 — a little thinner than its clear competitor, the HTC Touch Pro. For the old-fashioned types, you can find most of the same guts in the Voice Communicator, a sleek, half-QWERTY candybar phone
HP's choice to use Windows Mobile here is an expected one, but it's still unclear how they plan to differentiate these handsets from the existing crowd of nearly identical hardware running the aging OS. In a best-case scenario, HP expands their TouchSmart brand downward, adapting their impressive PC touch interfaces to phones, hiding Windows, as HTC has for years, under a slick, modern shell. There's no mention of such software on HP's spec pages, we can hope, right? The Voice and Data Communicators are only available in Europe now, for €399 and €499, respectively. [HP via Slashphone]

Gaspé Park
Earth : North America : Canada : Quebec : Southeastern Quebec : Gaspé Peninsula : Gaspé Park
Le Parc national de la Gaspésie (Gaspésie Park) is a provincial park located in the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula. The main attraction of the park is the Chics Chocs mountains, one of Quebec's highest mountain ranges located in the northern chain of the Appalachian Mountains (Les Appalaches).
Gaspé Peninsula is a sparsely populated region. Most settlements are on or near the coast, meaning that the interior of the peninsula is rather untouched. The park is one of the southernmost places in North America where caribou can be seen in their natural environment. The place is also full of moose.
Get in[edit]
By car[edit]
From Montreal, take highways 20 and then 132. The trip takes approximately 8 hours. If you have the stamina and an early starting time, you can do the trip in a day. Otherwise, it is very pleasant to take 2 days and discover some of the towns along the way. Once you reach St Anne des Monts, the turn-off for the Parc de la Gaspésie is signposted, although it can be easy to miss (small brown sign). Look for the Tim Horton's - it is on the same road that you need to drive down. To get to the Gîte du Mt-Albert will take about half an hour's further driving. The times will vary to get to the different camping grounds. If you want more information before driving into the park, there is a tourist centre in St Anne des Monts but it is only open during summertime.
By bus[edit]
By bus: http://www.orleansexpress.com/Search.aspx
Get around[edit]
A car is advisable.
See[edit][add listing]
The Chic-Chocs mountain range offers very scenic views, especially atop the many mountains in the park. To see the caribou you have to either camp at or take a shuttle bus to the Mt. Cartier campsite. This camp site is very remote and located pretty far from the main info. centre. The only way to go up is to buy a ticket on the shuttle bus from the campsite at scheduled times. It's well worth the hike up for the nice view. It takes about 3-4 hrs. to hike to the top and back. Rangers are mostly bi-lingual.
Do[edit][add listing]
Hike. Climbing mountains (there are many paths) or walking around the Mont Albert are popular activities (though the last one lasts about 6h).
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
hiking. It carries many camping packet foods, cooking fuel, other camping necessities and water.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
You can sleep at the park camping. If you don't have camping equipment, you can rent a hut, but you should reserve early.
Stay safe[edit]
The usual precautions occur. Use snow tires during winter and drive carefully. You will probably see the snow piled into embankments on either side of the road due to diligent snow-plowing but take extra care when plowing has not taken place. During summer, be aware that there are black bear in this region. Moose during rutting season should be avoided and drive carefully when visibility is poor, or it is dark, to avoid a possible moose collision. The Park enforces strict rules on hiking near caribou territory for the protection of the caribou herd - ask at the Visitor Interpretation Centre for more information.

When he was about twenty years of age, Michel JANVIER made his first comics for the fanzines La Claque and L'Abcès. Later on he specialized in photography and illustration. He did most of his illustration work in the advertising field, such as for the Michelin Guides. From 1982 Janvier worked regularly for Dargaud publishers. In 1986 he cooperated on the 'Lucky Luke' album, 'Le Ranch Maudit', which contained short stories written by Claude Guylouis, Jean Léturgie and Xavier Fauche.
A year later, Morris decided to start a spin-off series with the stupid dog 'Ran-Tan-Plan', one of the most popular 'Lucky Luke' characters. Janvier did the artwork on six albums until 1997. From 1998 Janvier cooperated with Véronique Brissaud and Gilles Ratier on 'Bédé Philes', a section about comics in L'Écho du Centre. The same year, he created 'L'Histoire de la Porcelaine en Bande Dessinée' and the characters 'Rob, Wed & Co'. The latter began as a series of self-published albums, but the series later appeared at Bamboo under the name 'Les Musicos', scripted by Erroc and Jenfèvre.

(The Root) — This image is part of a weekly series that The Root is presenting in conjunction with the Image of the Black in Western Art Archive at Harvard University's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research.
After being hidden from view for nearly two millennia, this engaging view of an exotic religious rite was unearthed in the well-preserved ancient Roman city of Herculaneum. As at Pompeii, its better-known neighbor, this well-to-do community had been covered by the disastrous eruption of the nearby volcano Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The relatively small image seen here was removed during the 18th century from an unspecified site within the town. It probably graced one of the formal spaces of a wealthy home rather than a temple. Created during the 30-year period preceding the eruption, the evocative glimpse of a mysterious religion would be enjoyed only a short while by the residents of the household before the vibrant life of the town was suddenly snuffed out.
From the time of its discovery more than two centuries ago, the scene has been interpreted as a rite of the goddess Isis, the focus of one of the leading mystery cults of the ancient Greco-Roman world. The wealth of references to the Egyptian origins of Isis worship in the scene — such as the sphinx, the ibis and the palm tree — as well as surviving ancient texts, convincingly support this interpretation.
The worship of Isis, a beneficent goddess of healing and succor and the consort of Osiris, had spread far beyond her native land by the time this painting was created. In Pompeii a sizable temple, adorned with many frescoes and statues, had been erected to the goddess. Although no sanctuary dedicated to her has yet been found in nearby Herculaneum, there is abundant evidence of her veneration in private homes.
The ceremony takes place within the precinct of a temple raised on a high flight of stairs. At its summit a white-robed priestly figure holds a small jar before the narrow, curtained portal of the sanctuary. The jar contains sacred water from the Nile, a reference to the moderating role of Isis in the annual inundation of Egypt by the great river. Recumbent sphinxes flank the landing.
Two other figures, dressed quite differently, stand at either side of the central figure. Each holds a sistrum, a type of rattle commonly used in the worship of Isis. The man at the right is plainly black, his gleaming bronze skin contrasting with the light-ochre pleats of his robe. Below, five priestly figures lead facing ranks of celebrants in a ritual of sacrifice and singing. Three of the priests are black and, like the one above them, have shaved heads and are dressed in pale-colored linen robes cinched at breast level.
In the lower-right corner of the fresco another black man sits, playing a long, slender, flutelike instrument. All of the black figures except the musician have been described as zakoroi, or senior attendants to the priest, who seemed to have served for certain specified terms of office.
The representation of black priests is reprised in another fresco from Herculaneum. It shows similarly dressed figures officiating at a ceremony dominated by a black man dancing within a shrine. Of similar format and style, it likely is a companion piece of our scene, recovered from the same site.
Scholarly investigation of these images has sought to determine just how accurately the rituals have been depicted. In the present inquiry, the focus can be narrowed to address the historical existence of black priests in the Isis cult. The pre-eminent Nile sanctuary of the goddess established far upstream on the island of Philae, near the northern border with Nubia, serves as an ideal starting point.
There was a long-standing involvement of the black civilization of Nubia with the worship of Isis. The first evidence of major construction at Philae dates to the time of the renowned black pharaoh Taharqa during the seventh century B.C. More than a millennium later, during the fifth century of our era, the right of unimpeded access to the temple of Isis at Philae was reaffirmed by the Romans to two of the major dark-skinned peoples living in this region, the Nobadae and the Blemmyes. Their worship at the site ended only when the Byzantine emperor Justinian forcibly suppressed the cult in the next century.
Given the close affinity of the black population with the Isis cult, the service of black priests at the sanctuary from a very early date seems beyond doubt. These dark-skinned officiants would then have moved out through the Mediterranean as the cult expanded during the Greco-Roman period. In the process they lent their image to the popular impression of this exotic religion. Along the way, of course, their ranks would have been joined by blacks already in the Diaspora. Still, a general association would have persisted between all blacks in the priesthood and the Egyptian homeland of Isis worship.
If perhaps not a true "snapshot" of the ritual itself, the scene of the Isis cult from Herculaneum provides valuable evidence of the involvement of blacks in Greco-Roman life and culture. As Frank Snowden has demonstrated, closely observed images of blacks as acrobats, bath attendants, singers and dancers and, in at least one case, a philosopher give testimony to the widespread, continual presence of black people in the cosmopolitan environment that was ancient Rome. To this cast of characters can reasonably be added that of the spiritual conductor of souls in the quest for immortality.

DY Cyg certainly deserves to be included in the Double-Trouble campaign list.
It turns out that it has a ~13.6 Vmag. companion only 3" to its SW.
While DY Cyg is a mira and its variations can be easily seen in the NSVS light curve (where the red component dominates):
http://skydot.lanl.gov/nsvs/star.php?num=8359533&mask=18708, the GCVS has an interesting remark: "Slow oscillations are superimposed by rapid ones with A = 0.3m [A.A.Wachmann, Bergd Abh V1, N4, 1966.]. According to [H.Gessner, VSS 7, H.2, 65, 1966.] type EB? Min = 2436659.531 + 0.6990d(:)*E (JD2436600 - 37000)"
The reported superimposed variations could arise from the companion and be apparent in B magnitudes (and when the mira is at minimum).
This looks like an interesting case to investigate.
We have only 4 observations in the AID and they were contaminated by the companion. It would be interesting if observers could perform dense coverage of the companion when the mira is around minimum. It goes fainter than 16.7 so its contribution would be small at those phases:
Unfortunately as I write this, the mira is exactly around maximum (October 14) but it would be a good chance to observe it (low cadence now, it's better to wait to observe the companion) and then compare the results with those obtained 4 or 5 months from now.
The observations in the VSX plot were corrected for the light contamination of the 13.6 mag. companion.
Is anyone willing to take up the challenge?

Hair Removal With Lasers and Other Options
Unwanted hair can become a thing of the past with laser hair removal and other de-fuzzing options. It all depends on your bank account and your tolerance for pain.
You've plucked and bleached, shaved and slathered on depilatories, but none of these methods of hair removal gives the long-term relief you want. They each provide only a quick fix; the hairs just keep growing back, sometimes as soon as the next day.
Hairy legs can be hidden when stubble becomes a problem; not so with unwanted facial hair. If you've had it with your razor and realize that hair bleaches just lighten the problem without actually getting rid of it, you might be in the market for a longer-lasting solution. Here's a look at the pros and cons of the latest options for getting permanent and close-to-permanent results from hair removal. Your budget and pain tolerance will dictate which hair removal option is best for you.
Laser Hair Removal
Though there are many ways to remove unwanted hair, Miami dermatologist Heather Woolery-Lloyd, MD, has three words for the best long-term approach: "Laser hair removal." Laser hair removal is procedure that uses a high-frequency beam of light to destroy hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out. The laser targets darker hair pigment; as a result, it is most successful on people with fair skin and dark unwanted hairs. A recent study of laser hair removal in Iranian women who had four procedures eight weeks apart showed that 75 to 85 percent were still hair-free 18 months later. Although spas and boutique salons may advertise laser hair removal services, it is best to visit a dermatologist's office for the procedure. An October 2013 study published in JAMA Dermatology found an increase in lawsuits involving laser treatments performed outside of the doctor's office. Complications are rare, but you want the best outcome for your time and money.
Pro: Laser hair removal provides long-lasting, possibly permanent results and is effective on dark hairs, the ones that are usually the most bothersome. Hair might grow back, but, on the flip side, you might stay hair-free for months or even years.
Con: Laser hair removal is expensive and, depending on how much hair you want removed, you may need many treatments. It might also be painful. Temporary side effects of the procedure may include redness or swelling of the skin, discolored skin (darker or lighter), blistering, crusting or scabbing.
Hair Removal: Electrolysis
Electrolysis was the first method to provide permanent results, though some hairs may need to be zapped twice to be permanently removed. This procedure removes each hair individually with a jolt of electricity applied to the hair follicle through a needle. Because it is a slow process, it is used mainly on unwanted facial hair. Look for a licensed professional; the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) warns against using home electrolysis kits.
Pro: Because the goal of electrolysis is to permanently destroy each hair follicle, one by one, results are considered permanent.
Con: This process can be extremely time-consuming and expensive, with multiple sessions required. It can also be painful, with side effects similar to laser hair removal.
Hair Removal: Buffing Pads
It's hard to escape the TV commercials for Smooth Away, a brand of abrasive pad that slips under your palm and promise to whisk away hair from anywhere on your body. The same type of pad is available on a handheld appliance, like the Conair Hair Removal System, that does the rotating for you. Because the pads exfoliate as they pull out the hairs, skin will look smoother, too.
Pro: This is a relatively inexpensive and seemingly painless system to quickly remove unwanted hair on your own at home; over time and with repeated use, you may actually experience less hair regrowth.
Con: Hair does grow back, so you'll need to buff about every two weeks.
Hair Removal: Waxing
For larger areas such as the back, chest, and legs, waxing is an affordable option. You can use a home wax kit if you have the grit to do it yourself, or you can get yourself professionally waxed at a salon or day spa.
Pro: This method offers longer-lasting results than shaving, up to a few weeks; some people may notice lighter hair regrowth after repeated waxing.
Con: Waxing can be very painful although there are creams to help numb the skin before the procedure and experienced practitioners work fast. The AAFP doesn't recommend this method for women with hirsutism, a condition that causes excessive hair growth, because it can cause skin irritation.
Hair Removal: Eflornithine
This active ingredient is intended to slow down facial hair growth, though it does not eliminate it. Eflornithine (Vaniqa) is available by prescription only and needs to be used every day.
Pro: This Rx cream reduces the growth of facial hair.
Con: Since it doesn't eliminate facial hair, you'll still need to pluck, shave, or tweeze the diminished growth. Eflornithine also needs to be used indefinitely. You may not see results for a few weeks, and acne is a possible side effect.
Although you'll find that the more permanent the results, the more expensive the treatment (and the more of them you'll need), these options offer real solutions for an annoying problem. You may soon be saying goodbye to your trusty razor and shaving cream along with your unwanted hair.

There will be 4 aid stations along the way. They are located between 5 and 6 miles apart. This could potentially leave you out on the trail between aid stations for up to 2 hours in some cases. It is HIGHLY recommended that you carry some type of water i.e. hydration pack, hand held, or fanny pack.Start to Finish – The aid stations and the accompanying restroom facilities: • Aid Station #1 Mile 6 - Gun Range (w/restrooms)• Dry Canyon parking lot - mile 8 (restrooms only)• Aid Station #2 Mile 11.5 - Grove Creek Trail Head Parking lot (w/restroom)• Aid Station #3 Mile 16.5 - Indian Springs • Aid Station #4 Mile 21.5 - Dry CanyonAid stations will be stocked with the following:Water, electrolyte drink, electrolyte tablets, gummy bears, pretzels, peanut butter quarter sandwiches, fruit, and a mix of other goodies.
This is a very challenging marathon course. If you run a 3:30 marathon expect to finish this race between 5-6 hours. There is 5,883 feet of elevation gain on Marathon course. The course is made up of 99.9% mountain trail and fire break roads. The only asphalt that your trail shoes will touch is a few crossing as you traverse northbound at the lower elevations. There are sections of accent and decent that will be technical but extremely scenic. As in the past you may experience snow, rain, mud, potential stream crossings but without a doubt - rocks. Although the distance is that of a traditional marathon, it is anything but traditional. There will not be porta-johns, mile markers, spectators, or volunteers at every turn showing you which way to go. You should treat this race course like an ultra-distance race. The course will be marked with orange and blue flagging. Continuous orange flagging will indicate the correct direction. A combination of orange and blue flagging will indicate an upcoming turn. The blue flagging will appear on the same side of the trail as the turn will occur. The course will be marked well but you must pay attention to the flagging.

Marcel Duchamp
Edited by Anne d'Harnoncourt and Kynaston McShine
348 pages
414 illustrations (12 in full color)
11" x 8 1/2"
Paper ISBN 0-87070-295-5
Marcel Duchamp has changed the history of modern art. His impact on the twentieth century is rivaled only by that of Matisse and Picasso, and no other figure has so directly influenced recent art forms.
This book, besides presenting a documented photographic survey of Duchamp's works, offers ten original essays by eminent scholars and critics. The essays cover Duchamp's explorations in the areas of poetry, the machine, alchemy, and the epistemology of art; on a more personal level, they treat the milieux and the friendships that shaped his character, the life style to which he adhered, and the influence his example has exerted. Passages from his lectures are included in the book, as well as comments and tributes by more than fifty colleagues, friends, and interested observers. Documentary illustrations, a chronology, and a bibliography complete the volume.
First published in 1973 to immediate acclaim, this monograph continues to be a definitive book on Duchamp. Lavishly illustrated, it documents his entire career.

|Main Index
|Biographies index
Gian-Carlo Rota's father, Giovanni Rota, was a civil engineer and architect who specialised in anti-earthquake structures. Giovanni Rota was a prominent anti-fascist and his name appears on a death list constructed by Mussolini. Gian-Carlo was born into a talented family in Vigevano, many members of his family had achieved fame in their areas of expertise, for example one of Gian-Carlo's uncles, Flaiano, wrote scripts for Federico Fellini's films, including La Dolce Vita.
Gian-Carlo was educated in Italy up to the age of thirteen in 1945. This was near the end of World War II and, due to Giovanni Rota's anti-fascist views, the family was forced to leave Vigevano to escape Mussolini's death squads. Giovanni Rota took his family to northern Italy where they hide for a time before crossing the border into Switzerland. The family eventually escaped to Ecuador where Gian-Carlo completed his secondary school education. The positive side to this remarkable escape story was that Rota was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and French.
Rota entered the United States in 1950 at the age of eighteen to undertake his university studies. He entered Princeton University in 1950 and received a BA summa cum laude in 1953. After graduating, Rota entered Yale University where he studied for his Master's Degree in Mathematics which was awarded in 1954. He then undertook doctoral studies, supervised by Jacob T Schwartz, and he was awarded a PhD from Yale in 1956 for his thesis Extension theory of differential operators. His thesis supervisor wrote:-
[Rota] was my first graduate student at Yale. He began as a functional analyst and after a few years moved on to combinatorics, where he became a leading national and international figure. He really loved mathematics all his life very passionately. He was also a person of great cultural and literary attainment. He loved to write, loved to edit. He was a gourmet of mathematics. He was ebullient, a bit of a raconteur.In this same year that he was awarded his doctorate, Rota married Teresa Rondón and he received a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to undertake research at the Courant Institute at New York University. After spending the year 1956-57 in New York, Rota was appointed as Benjamin Peirce Instructor at Harvard University. He held this post until 1959 when he joined the faculty at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With the exception of two years, 1965 to 1967, when he was at the Rockefeller University, Rota remained at MIT for the rest of his career.
Rota was given the title Professor of Applied Mathematics at MIT but in 1972 his title was changed to Professor of Applied Mathematics and Philosophy. He is the only professor at MIT ever to have such a title. However, he had many other roles outside MIT. Rota had a long association with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory where he enjoyed being with his friend Ulam and collaborating with him. He served as a consultant to the Laboratory from in 1966 and, in 1971, he was made a Senior Fellow of the Laboratory. M Waterman writes in [3]:-
Rota soon became part of Los Alamos. He gave lectures that were deeply informative, polished works of art that made him known throughout the Lab. The topics were wide-ranging: differential equations, ergodic theory, nonstandard analysis, probability, and of course, combinatorics.Rota was also a consultant with the Rand Corporation from 1966 to 1971 and with the Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1969 to 1973.
As we have indicated above, Rota worked on functional analysis for his doctorate and, up to about 1960, he wrote a series of papers on operator theory. Two papers in 1959-60, although still in the area of operator theory, looked at ergodic theory which is an area which requires considerable combinatorial skills. These papers seem to have led Rota away from operator theory and into the area of combinatorics. His first major work on combinatorics, which was to change the direction of the whole subject, was On the Foundations of Combinatorial Theory which Rota published in 1964.
Rota received the Steele Prize from the American Mathematical Society in 1988. The Prize citation singles out the 1964 paper On the Foundations of Combinatorial Theory as:-
... the single paper most responsible for the revolution that incorporated combinatorics into the mainstream of modern mathematics.This paper was the first of a series of ten papers with this main title, all ten have subtitles (for example this first one was subtitled Theory of Möbius functions ) and all the remaining nine have between one and three additional co-authors. Papers two to nine were all published between 1970 and 1974 with the tenth being published in 1992.
Richard Guy, reviewing [1] in 1980, writes:-
Combinatorists owe much to Gain-Carlo Rota, already a "respectable" mathematician when he interested himself in combinatorics and embarked on his gallant crusade to unify the subject which almost everyone regarded as being at best a bag of clever isolated tricks; to reverse the tide of abstraction in mathematics; to return to the concreteness of a century ago. ... Rota observes that combinatorics is providing the essential continuing link between mathematics and the sciences: biology (structure of large molecules), linguistics (context-free languages, automata theory), physics (statistical mechanics, phase transition problems, elementary particles).Rota received many awards for his outstanding contributions to numerous areas. In addition to the Steele Prize mentioned above, he was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Service from the National Security Agency in 1992. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1982, was vice-president of the American Mathematical Society in 1995-97 and the Society's Colloquium Lecturer in 1998. He was also a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Science, a member of the Academia Argentina de Ciencias, a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the Heidegger Circle, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Husserl Circle. He received the 1996-97 James R Killian Jr Faculty Achievement Award from MIT for his work as a:-
... leading innovator and theorist in the transformation of combinatorics from a disparate collection of facts and techniques unworthy of serious mathematical consideration into an active, systematic and profound branch of modern pure and applied mathematics.He held four honorary degrees from the University of Strasbourg (1984), the University L'Aquila (1990), the University of Bologna (1996), and Brooklyn Polytechnical University (1997).
E F Beschler writes in [3]:-
Gian-Carlo Rota was a mathematician and a philosopher, and the richness of his writing in these fields was known to both communities. I also like to think of him as a poet - not in the formal sense, since to the best of my knowledge he never wrote a poem - but in the larger sense of a person who expresses himself with imaginative power and beauty of thought, even when many of these thoughts were sardonic reflections on people, ideas, institutions, and the general condition of humanity. His sense of humour was biting and deep - and full of truth. And his modes of expression poetic in a fundamental sense of the word.Rota died in his sleep and was found in bed on the afternoon of 19 April 1999. He had been due to give a series of three lectures at Temple University, the Groswald Memorial Lectures, on the previous day and, when he failed to arrive in Philadelphia, a check was made at his home. The cause of his death was atherosclotic cardiovascular disease. There were many tributes to Rota after his death, for example David Sharp wrote:-
The first thing you noticed about Gian-Carlo was his love for the life of the mind. He lived and breathed mathematics and philosophy. He had a passion for ideas, an uncompromising dedication to the truth, and a boundless curiosity.Brian D Taylor, one of the last of Rota's forty-two doctoral students, wrote:-
I remember Rota's characteristic generosity: The research problems he shared freely, not just with his graduate students, but with anyone he talked to or taught; the dinners out at good restaurants ... I remember travelling to his apartment in Harvard square to talk about my work even when he wasn't going to be at MIT. I remember telling him about results in my thesis, drawing tableaux on the slightly rickety easel he had up in his living room. And I remember a weekend spent at his apartment, mostly sitting at the Macintosh in his bedroom redrafting my first paper; when I shown him my first draft of our work, he asked "are you trying to hide your techniques from your readers?'' By the time that weekend was over, the techniques, and the paper were clear.

The ability to predict machine and system failures before they happen reduces costs and increases availability. Condition monitoring modules from B&R precisely detect cases when service work may be needed and are also extremely easy to configure. All of these modules are part of the X20 control system series and can therefore be used in any control topology with no limitations. A special feature of these modules is that they perform vibration analysis locally, right on the module. The availability of fully processed results reduces the time and cost of integration to a minimum. These results also provide detailed insight into the system mechanics, allowing existing processes to be optimized with maximum efficiency.

Soundwave Research files patent applications on improved photographic processes
In preparation for funding and commercialization, we have or are prepared to apply for patents regarding improvements to instant photographic articles, and also a new direct positive system. While simply applying for a patent does not automatically mean it will be granted, there is a good likelihood that one or more patents will issue. Even though this has been run as an open source project, it is incumbent on us to properly file when new, useful and non-obvious discoveries are made, as investors expect it and sometimes require that intellectual property be protected. A number of discoveries have been made, departing greatly from what was, long ago, the starting point of T55, and could become quite valuable, as old T55 is too complex, requires expensive tooling, and an elaborate supply chain.

Comment spam
If your comment hasn't been published, it's probably because the comment spam filter rejected it. That happens when we have a flood of spam comments. I won't turn off comments, yet, but I might have to again like I did before. After a while the spammers see everything they try to post bounce and go away, at least for a couple of months.

|Johnny Manziel and some special friends. Yes, that's Lebron James.
Texas A&M Heisman winning quarterback Johnny Manziel was seen courtside at the Miami Heat-Dallas Mavericks game on Thursday night. As soon as the TNT cameras caught him, the obvious questions about where he got the seats came from.
That was Steve Kerr, ladies and gentlemen, accusing Manziel of NCAA violations without any facts.
Manziel responded to the accusations on Twitter.
Bought myself a little birthday present tonight stop hating! #HEATvsMAVS
— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) December 21, 2012
For the record, the Manziel family isn't quite dirt poor. The family has interests in oil, gas, and real estate. It owns The Oil Palace, a famous concert and event center in Tyler, Tx. Manziel's maternal grandfather also owns a popular and successful restaurant in Tyler as well. Plus his uncle is a successful Texas men's clothier (and helped dress Manziel for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.)

President Barack Obama, defending his foreign policy record at a time of anti-American rage in the Muslim world, fired back at suggestions from Republican Mitt Romney that the president has been weak with allies and enemies alike.
In an interview airing the night before Obama meets with other world leaders at the United Nations, the president said, "If Gov. Romney is suggesting that we should start another war, he should say so."
It was Obama's most direct rebuttal yet to persistent skepticism by his White House rival on his handling of an unraveling situation in the Middle East. Romney has charged the U.S. stance has been marred by miscalculations, mixed messages and appeasement.
As far back as May, Romney was condemning Obama's response to unrest in Syria, dubbing it a "policy of paralysis" and calling for more assertive measures, such as arming the opposition to Syrian President Bashar Assad. As deadly anti-American protests erupted earlier this month in Libya and elsewhere, Romney sought to undercut what polling shows is a significant foreign policy edge for Obama by calling the president's handling of the situation "disgraceful" and decrying a lack of U.S. leadership in the region.
In a companion interview to Obama's appearance on CBS' "60 Minutes," Romney broadened his reproach to include Israel, criticizing Obama's failure to meet with the U.S. ally's head of state, Benjamin Netanyahu, during the annual U.N. gathering. Romney called it a mistake that "sends a message throughout the Middle East that somehow we distance ourselves from our friends."
The White House has said scheduling precluded a meeting between the two leaders, who won't be in New York at the same time. With the final six weeks of a hard-fought election hanging over the U.N. summit, Obama has opted out of face-to-face meetings with any of his counterparts — not just Netanyahu — during his compressed U.N. visit.
But Obama pushed back on the notion that he feels pressure from Netanyahu, dismissing as noise the Israeli leader's calls for the U.S. to lay out a "red line" that Iran's nuclear program mustn't cross to avoid American military intervention.
"When it comes to our national security decisions, any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people," Obama said. "And I am going to block out any noise that's out there. "
In a wide-ranging interview conducted the day after U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed in an attack on Benghazi, Obama defended his foreign policy successes, noting he'd followed through on a commitment to end the war in Iraq and had nabbed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
He also waxed optimistic that winning a second term would give him a mandate to overcome obstructionism from congressional Republicans whose No. 1 goal, he said, has been to prevent his re-election.
"My expectation is, my hope is that that's no longer their number one priority," Obama said. "I'm hoping that after the smoke clears and the election season's over that that spirit of cooperation comes more to the fore."
Romney, in an interview conducted last week, sought to deflect attention from his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, over their differences in Medicare policy: "I'm the guy running for president, not him."
While reaffirming his commitment to lowering all income tax rates by 20 percent, Romney expressed no unease about his refusal to offer specifics, such as which loopholes and deductions he'd eliminate to pay for the cuts.
"The devil's in the details. The angel is in the policy, which is creating more jobs," Romney said, adding that he doesn't want to see overall government revenue reduced.
Addressing the seemingly unshakable charge of flip-flopping on policy issues, Romney pointed the finger at Obama, noting his changes of heart on gay marriage and military tribunals for terrorism suspects.
"Have I found some things I thought would be effective turned out not to be effective? Absolutely," Romney said. "You don't learn from experience, you don't learn from your mistakes —why, you know, you ought to be fired."
The series of interviews also offered glimpses into both candidates' personal habits, including their late-night routines. Romney said his nightly prayer is a time to connect both with the divine and with his own thoughts, and said he asks God mainly for wisdom and understanding.
Obama, describing himself as "a night guy," said that after first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters retire around 10 p.m., he hunkers down for reading, writing and occasionally a moment alone on the Truman Balcony, with the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial in view.
"Those are moments of reflection that, you know, help gird you for the next challenge and the next day," Obama said.
The "60 Minutes" interviews came as Romney's campaign strove to turn the page on a week of public stumbles and Republican hand-wringing, promising a redoubled effort in the most competitive states to undercut Obama's economic record as voters tune in for the final six weeks of a deadlocked race.
A secretly recorded video released last Monday showed Romney writing off his prospects for winning over the almost half of Americans who he said pay no taxes, are dependent upon government and see themselves as victims dominated the week. Ahead of an evening campaign stop at a Denver-area high school Sunday, Romney huddled with senior advisers in Los Angeles to rehearse for the three upcoming presidential debates, which his aides see as the best opportunity to get his campaign and its message back on track.
Amid mounting pressure to spend less time raising money and more time explaining his plans to voters, Romney was refocusing his schedule on the most competitive states. After Colorado, Romney was to begin a three-day bus tour in Ohio on Monday followed by a stop in Virginia — states that Obama won in 2008 but that Republicans claimed four years earlier.
While national polls remain tight, polls in several of the most closely watched states, including Colorado, suggest Obama has opened narrow leads. Obama won Colorado by 9 points four years ago, but the state went to a Republican in the previous three presidential elections.
Obama took a rare weekend break from the campaigning ahead of his U.N. address Tuesday, but dispatched top allies to the Sunday talk shows to try to keep Romney's missteps alive in the minds of a dwindling cadre of undecided voters.

'I thought we were going to wake up missing a kidney' said Mr C.
No – we hadn't just been lured by some hot prostitutes into some run down brothel in a third world country – we had just been to a 'salon' called Bliss Fish in Greenwich, Landan for a fish pedicure, courtesy of a KGB Deals.
The victims? Me, Mr C and Megan, my cousin and star of YouTube.
The price? £8 per person.
The true cost? Our sanity and possibly our feet.
I never really paid much attention to KGB deals – I think because it's called KGB deals – but seeing as they've spent a fortune on TV adverts and proclaim to 'test' all their offers I booked the fish pedicures because little Megan has always wanted to try it out.
The deal was supposed to be this:
£8 for 30 minute fish pedicure, foot scrub, foot massage, and a glass of bubbly (or substitute drink for kids).
KGB say:
This superb fish spa boasts luxury tanks, where expert Garra Rufa fish will get to work gently nibbling and exfoliating any unwanted dead skin cells, to provide you with a relaxing and refreshing spa experience.
So – the morning of the treatments I forgot what time we booked for – it was either 5 or 6pm. So we called (this is from 12 (when it opens) to 3pm) over and over but no one was picking up. Eventually Mr C called a mobile number which was what was used to book, and the lady told us to call the shop – erm, yes we tried all morning. She got back to us after a while with the booking time but I did find it odd that a salon didn't have anyone answering the phone at all!
Greenwich. Sort of out of the way isn't it? After getting completely confused on the tubes/DLRs and a 15 minute walk we got to Bliss Fish.
Salon. What is a salon anyway? I guess it's just a room with stuff in it.
When we got to the salon/spa, whatever, which was a space with three fish tanks in it and…a few windows. (I was dying for the loo – I figured there WOULD be a loo at a salon but let's just say, I didn't ask).
The person on duty was a gentleman, who reminded me of DJ Talent.
Hello, I said.
Hi, he said….and back to texting.
Three other ladies were in there at the time, grinning at me. Grinning. It was sort of a….what's the word? A knowing grin.
'I was excited about this…' said one girl, 'and I had to use up a voucher that I got for my birthday.' Emphasis on was and had.
I had some nail polish on my big toe and was actually worried that they wouldn't let me have the treatment. No need to worry! No one is checking my feet first! DJ Talent points to the tanks (taken up by the other 3 ladies) and says 'Go on'. We look at each other, a bit confused at the total lack of direction and the girls looked awkwardly at each other. It's a bit like being naked and being told to sit next to someone in the sauna.
At Aqua Sheko we had out feet washed first (obviously) to make sure dirt and bits of crud were washed off and none of us had verrucas or other nasties. (Speaking of Aqua Sheko, it was great to see them on Dragons Den last night! I think they do Fish Pedicures really professionally compared to some of the awful places that just stick some fish in a tank and that's it .
Also I recognised the guy as the one who washed my (and Mr C's) feet when we visited! The guy is a Oxford Graduate which a 1st class degree – I was just impressed the couple who owned the business are so hands on instead of employing minions to do things like washing customer's feet. And off my soapbox…)
Anyway – no such attention here. You basically help yourself – whip off your socks and dip your feet in to the tank NEXT TO A TOTAL STRANGER!!! Yuk!!! Tank sharing, my friends. No prewashing feet, no checking the feet are ok. One lady was nice enough to jump out of her tank and share with a friend so that me and Megs could sit with each other but it didn't stop me from seeing lots of white floaty bits in the water.
KGB say they test out EVERY company they do offers with. REALLY?!? REALLY?!?!?!??! If this is true and they tested out Bliss Fish first, then my god, I don't want to ever buy a KGB deal ever again.
I swear, if it wasn't for the sake of Megan – who loved the fish pedicure – I would've just walked out.
After a while DJ Talent (and I'm not saying he was mean at all, just…misguided. It would be like me working in Halfords giving people advice on brakes) gave me a plastic tumbler of some fizzy white wine thing (champagne?!) and poor Megs wasn't given anything.
At some point his mate across the road from the Kebab house comes in and takes a seat. He then pops out again. It's all very odd. The music is blasting – some kind of local underground radio. I'm sorry but I am really rubbish with naming modern music (is it Bach?) but it sort of went, 'A SHOUT OUT TO MY EAST END MASSIIVVVVVVEEEEE. E9, E10, E11'.
30 mins later, sitting there, looking out the window and wondering why I make some many stupid choices in life, it was over. DJ Talent did look up for long enough to say to Mr C, 'Had enough?'. Mr C looks at me to check, I nod like the Churchill Dog having a seizure 'yes yes yes done' and we are given some towels to mop up our soggy feet.
Foot massage and scrub – you must be joking right? It was absolutely NOT included and I was not going to ask DJ Talent to rub my feet any time soon.
We ran, we rannnnnnnnnnnnnnn away. It was of course, a big fat con – we paid £8 to stick our feet in shared tanks and have some Garra Rufa chew at our smelly feet (sorry fish) it wouldn't have been worth a penny more. In fact you'd have to pay me to go back!
Have you ever tried a treatment at a somewhat scary place?!

Lawyer in WikiLeaks Case Wants to Depose Clinton (Jan 16, 2012)
WASHINGTON (AP) - A lawyer for an intelligence analyst charged with leaking classified information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks wants to question Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before his client is tried.
David Coombs, a lawyer for Pfc. Bradley Manning, included a request to question Clinton as part of a redacted document posted Monday on his website and also sent to Army officials. Clinton's name is obscured in the document, but it is clear from context that she is the person he wants to question.
Coombs failed in his attempt to call Clinton as a witness at Manning's preliminary hearing last month. The Army is still deciding whether the 24-year-old Manning, who is accused of causing the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history, should stand trial.
Manning is from Crescent, Okla.

Quote:I won't speak to his credits or history. But the gallery of photos with him next to all the "famous" luminaries of martial arts and martial arts movies are really funny. They're badly photoshop'ed (reworked) pics of himself stuck into totally different photos of guys like Steve (Hebi No Dojo) Kaufman, etc. You can even see the digital cut marks.
Quote:A gentleman who writes to people asking for grades and actualy 'prints' his own certification. He also has a nasty hobby of forming home page budo associations, calling himself the president and inviting people to join to give himself credibility!

despising Musecore 3
There are days when I absolutely hate Musescore 3. Sure, it is nice that things get automatically spaced in the score so nothing overlaps, so wow gee wiz, uh, isn't that just how it should be? What I hate is that they seem to have gone out of their way to make things more difficult compared with Musescore 2. They seem to have randomly changed things that didn't need changing just to make it frustrating for the use. It used to be easy to change the volume of a single note or chord in a score. But now, once I finally figure out how to do it, Musescore manages to hide it from me so then I have to start all over trying to find out how to do it again. Why!!!? It used to be easy to see the note in inspector and then modify the volume, but now, where the blazing biscuits is it?? And why is it impossible to find in the manual? Ultimately, there is no advantage to Musescore 3 other than the spacing thing. So, I should do everything in Musescore 2 and then when it is ready to be put online, open it with Musescore 3. Just be sure to give it a different name because once you open it in Musescore 3, they won't let you go back to Musescore 2. Oh, no. Why would they make it **&&**& easy?!!!!! And I paid good money for this kind of frustration????????!

5.1 Building
Common steps for all platforms
The building process shares a lot of steps on all platforms. Here we describe them, but then you should see the specific bits needed in your specific platform.
To compile an entire working OE, you need just two things: The HC and the GenC, everything else is optional. When you have them, the generated source code is built against platform-specific code, using a 'traditional' C compiler (GCC or ICC).
Each time a new official VM is released, a copy of the GenC code used is commited to the SVN and then the contents of the repo is packaged as a zip file. So, whether you download the sources from the zip or the SVN you'll get some copy of the HC and the GenC. If you want to use that GenC or generate your own, that's up to you.
In case you download the sources as a zipped package you can just make it. It's the easier way, but you won't be able to make much modifications to the code.
If you download the sources from SVN then you have to choose if you want to use the provided GenC or not.
Using provided GenC
If you want to use the GenC provided, then checkout the specific revision after the VM release commit, which should be equal to the one you get from the zipped package.
As of April 2010, the last stable version of Squeak VM is 4.0.3 revision 2202. To check it out:
svn co http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/ -r 2202
Notice that since that revision a lot of changes were made in SVN, but the GenC wasn't updated to support them, so you shouldn't mix the HEAD of SVN with it's GenC, as it probably won't work.
Using your own GenC
This way is only a bit harder, but will let you make any modifications you want and you'll be running the latest code. Here, you will checkout the latest SVN, download the latest Slang code and translate it to C using VMMaker.
