First, he gets to preview various animation themes. He chooses his favorite and takes a holographic RFID badge with a Philips ICODE chip. When he goes into the examination room, he waves the badge at the scanning equipment, and the walls and ceiling come to life with animations, accompanied by music and other sounds. It keeps him relaxed and it's a great way to give him instructions. When it's time for him to hold his breath, he sees a cartoon character holding his own breath!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19471]]></link><description><![CDATA[History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;  Be content with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;  Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,   And make use of your wings while you may.    . . . .     But tho' dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite,      They at last found it dangerous play;       Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,        Only dazzle to lead us astray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603 Continuing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603 Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of v. 18]   The glory to come far outweighs the affliction of the present. The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Animis opibusque parati [Prepared in mind and resources] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Animis opibusque parati [Prepared in mind and resources]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He alone deserves liberty and life who daily must win them anew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24728]]></link><description><![CDATA[He alone deserves liberty and life who daily must win them anew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of schools are looking at open source ? budgets come into play here.
