- Robotic Sciences had demo robots welcoming guests to the Technology Celebration. I didn't interact with them too much, but I don't think they were to advanced. I think they could move about (don't know how much they could sense, but I wasn't run over), play messages, and capture video. They could also fold up into a package the size of a suitcase. I wish I could find a picture, but the Robotic Sciences site is pretty light. |

Medikamente (Oct 23 2003 19:50 GMT) - Als Orgu im vergangenen Jahr Herpes hatte- wie alle anderen Pferde im Stall- zum Glück nur in einer sehr abgeschwächten Form, habe ich auch eine Blutuntersuchung anfertigen lassen. Ich weiß leider nicht, ob dazu nun auch ein großes Blutbild gehörte, oder ob nur auf Herpes getestet worden ist. Ich werde den damaligen Tierarzt danach fragen.Denn so einfach will ich mich dann doch nicht damit zufrieden geben, das es offenbar aus seiner Jugendzeit kommt.Folgende Medikamente bekommt er nun, und für die Spezialisten habe ich die Inhaltsstoffe aufgelistetHepar compositum (Heel) homöopathisch (2 Spritzen a 4,4 ml)Inhaltsstoffe: |

- After conferring with Jay, my ex, who's very knowledgeable about the heating and cooling systems at my condo (he lives in the same building, and is on the board of directors), I placed a call on Tuesday to one of the contractors to inquire about getting a new heat pump installed. The contractor called me back later that afternoon, but I wasn't able to return the call until today. Of course--given my luck--the heat pump in my unit has a right-hand intake (the contractor says that half of the units in my building have right-hand and half have left-hand), which apparently is rarer and harder to find; the contractor says that it can take as much as six to eight weeks to get one installed if the distributor doesn't have any readily available (they keep many more of the left-hand models in stock). I'm going to call him when I get home tonight to verify the model number of my existing system, which will allow us to determine the capacity needed in the new unit. |
