Aging Gracefully and Happily In A Youthful Society
in Spirituality
In this episode of I Am The Light Network, Deb asks Michele, "How does one go about aging gracefully in this society?" Our society is focused on youth, so we are judged on our looks and our bodies. This is evident in the magazines we read, the TV shows we watch and the movies we see. We can't escape it. But is it real? Michele says emphatically, "NO!" She says our society has this idea that aging is a negative thing, but in other parts of the world older people are considered treasures and are sought out for their wisdom. Michele says, "You are a limitless, powerful creator. You have the power to create whatever you choose."
Hosts: Michele Avanti is an ISAR Certified Astrology Professional, Metaphysical Minister, Accredited Fixed Star Analyst, EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique Professional & an Award Winning Author. Michele has been expanding minds through metaphysics since 1972.

Formula 1 cost cutting set to take centre stage in June
Is Formula 1 wasting money down the drain? Formula 1′s cost cutting and money saving lobby are about to shift into a higher gear in June and beyond, with smaller teams coming up against the grandees in an effort to keep the sport affordable. Ever since the powerful 'Strategy Group' teams nixed plans for a mandatory budget cap, the tension with the angry and disenfranchised small teams has been palpable. FIA president Jean Todt wants to lock in some cost-saving regulations for 2015, but the final deadline is the end of June. A few days before that, in just three weeks from now, the World Motor Sport Council would have to rubber-stamp any proposals. So far, little progress has...

Charles Aznavour, who had arrived in Georgia at the invitation of President Saakashvili, paid a visit to the Saint Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Tbilisi yesterday on his way Akhaltskha, the birthplace of his father, to perform a concert.
Despite the summer heat, a huge crowd of onlookers and well-wishers had assembled at the Havlabar cathedral courtyard to welcome the world-famous singer-songwriter.
Escorted by Armenia's Ambassador to Georgia Hovhannes Manukyan, Aznavour was led inside where he was warmly greeted by Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan, Primate of the Armenian Apostolic Diocese of Georgia.
The entourage then entered the cathedral and prayed for friendship between Armenia and Georgia and for the unity of the Armenian diaspora.
A reception was later held at the Diocese's Hayartoun Cultural Center.
Aznavour and a 22 member musical ensemble will perform a concert today in Akhaltskha marking the official opening of the renovated Rabat Fortress.

I once called a kid "South Carolina" because he doesn't know where it is on the map.
I once called a kid "South Carolina" because he doesn't know where it is on the map.
John recently bought a laptop.
That's right. I finally, after 4 or 5 years of debating, decided to stray from desktop computing and am now mobile with a laptop.
I can connect away from home, or even in another room, should I want to. I can connect to my printer and do almost everything I could do with my dead computer, 7, with ease.
I do have a couple of minor complaints. The first is the stupid touch mouse. Seriously, who designed this? I bought a cordless mouse with the computer and I am glad I did, because this pad thing is just shit. I even went so far to get a corded mouse for when I need to be precise with graphic editing.
This complaint I am aware of because of my ex and her issue when our son decided to torture her for not paying attention to him – how easy the keyboard can come apart. I like to use the 10-Key. The "enter" key does not work. Luckily, the standard "enter" key is right there, but yeah. Silicone adhesive is keeping the bad enter key in place for cosmetics.
The third complaint I have isn't so minor. The keyboard itself sucks. I find myself retyping things I don't usually have to retype because the keyboard isn't picking up all the letters it should (meaning, the ones I am hitting). This usually comes with double letters, like "tt" or "oo", and maybe it's more of a peeve than anything, but really? I never had a problem like this before. I average between 50-70 WPM and I type all day at work, so why is it at home I'm an idiot?
I blame my laptop.
The stupid shit I can complain about (if I really wanted to) are just that – stupid. Very petty complaints, but considering I'm a life-long desktop user, they are legitimate transitional complaints.
Overall, there is hope that I may come back and post more trivial banter soon.
But don't hold your breath.
The last time anything was written here, it was a year ago. About a wrestler that was fired for saying the wrong thing.
Then.. nothing. Why?
Last August, John's computer took a crap. A big, fat, smelly crap all over the motherboard. So, John had to go to Plan B, an older computer he's been using on the side, but never as the top priority. The Radio X show, a weekly online radio episodic trainwreck, was temporarily put on hold. He figured a month at the latest before the show returned. A month turned into two months. That turned into four. And now, a year later, John (me) finally decided to catch up to 2007 and get a laptop.
But what happened between then and now?
John's focused more on local projects, work, and of course his son. He's done a lot more with social media behind the scenes and has changed things around on a personal level. He's loved and lost, and he's found peace within.
Why do I keep writing in third person?
Maybe because who I was a year ago, and who I am now, are not the same. In a couple of months, I'll be facing a landmark birthday. I'm not looking forward to it. I've definitely aged a lot in the past few years, but that doesn't make it better.
I'm starting to look at certain things with a different light, and it's happening more often than it used to.
Wrestling is still a big part of who I am. So is the Radio X show, and so is Whitters. Once I get everything set, it's a possibility that X will return, but I don't know how much of X will be what it used to be. Whit's in a relationship now, so who knows what that will do to the show's future.
It may be more of a rant-fest than a pre-scheduled and produced program. It may not be a set 3-hours. It may not even go to 2-hours. There may be other changes.
We may not even bring it back.
Working in radio, when I was in radio, was very difficult yet very fulfilling. X was more therapy than radio show for me, because it helped me sort my thoughts, clear my mind, and focus my energies on something that I knew I could do, and that I could do well.
Since then, I've found new focus, not within the radio grasps, that have given me something to hang on to. I've buried myself in various projects.
I don't know what will happen once I get technologically reunited with a computer that can actually handle more than two browser windows open at the same time.
Maybe I'll play Candy Crush.

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Asha, I am so glad to hear the m/s has passed! I cannot imagine how terrible that must feel! But at least it keeps you cognizant of the fact that there's a little bean healthily growing away in there.
Is there baby-etiquette about putting little girls in tights with flowy dresses? I am totally lacking in that area, I thought the bloomers would work as a diaper cover and wasn't going to bother with tights! Please let me know if I do need to buy a pair!
Elicia, I *know*, when we get the referral I am going to bug people by whipping her picture out at every opportunity!! DH was just saying this the other day!
You are probably going to frame her picture onto a keychain-that's convienient for whipping it out and bragging!
There aren't rules about tights , I just love tiny socks and tiny tights. Little socks melt my heart. You can always get those dressy socks with lace -girliness at it's best. IMO...
Anyway, exciting time ... Come refferal, COME!!!!!
Asha, you're enabling my craziness by giving me ideas - keychain? That's brilliant!! More exciting news today, I am about to bust with all this information!! Now if only I could have a picture to put with all of it....
I'd love to see a picture too. I'm just so glad that you know that she's all yours now!
I don't even know what to say really, Sandy I just love reading your posts and watching your excitement. Your thinking about the birth mother is sweet. And well, you're awesome. I can't wait till you get a picture
Thank you, Nadine. And congrats on hitting the 30 week mark with your baby twins!!!! How exciting, not too much longer now!
Sandy!!!! I'm dying here lol I wish I could give you a huge hug!! It is always so wonderful to read your journal, you can feel the excitment through your words & your tenderness and mommyhood coming out - you are going to be such an amazing mom, you really are!
You are SO sweet, Julia! I am so glad you think that, sometimes I have my doubts!! It seems like I have SO much to learn about motherhood! I'm hoping I'll stumble through it with a little bit of grace and dignity.
Nadine, I just saw your reply to my post on the breastfeeding board! Thank you for the links! I really think I am going to try, especially since she's going to be so young.
Oh Sandy, that would be SOO NEAT!!!! I think it takes a lot of courage to give it a try too - you'll have to KUP on how it goes
That onsie that you bought sounds adorable, I bet you can't wait to see her in it! Have fun shopping! I love Old Navy!
Thanks, Julia! I am excited to try and breastfeed her but also really nervous! Mainly I am not too worried about my milk coming in - I know that will take time, and I'm okay with that. I'm going to use a supplemental nurser to help with that. But I'm worried about her not knowing how to suck or not wanting to feed from the breast after so long without it. I think that would be heartbreaking! I'm trying to get a hold of literature that talks about babies who haven't ever had a chance to breastfeed, and how they do with it at several months' old. I think I'm just going to take it slow and see how she and I do on it!

Brad Marchand continued his recent hot scoring stretch with a pair of goals Monday, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.
Marchand, who also had two in Boston's shootout loss in Chicago on Sunday, has scored six in his past four games. Torey Krug had the other goal for the Bruins, who won at home for the 11th time in 13 games.
Boston's backup goaltender Chad Johnson made 21 saves.
Willie Mitchell and Jeff Carter scored for the Kings. Jonathan Quick stopped 20 shots.
Los Angeles has lost two straight, but collected points in six of eight (4-2-2).
Marchand scored 18 seconds after Los Angeles had tied the game when he one-timed Patrice Bergeron's pass inside the right post by Quick's glove.
Trailing 2-1 with just under 11 1/2 minutes to play and the Kings skating on a power play, Carter fired a shot past Johnson for his team-leading 19th of the season.
The Bruins' special teams had given them a 2-0 edge after one period when Marchand had a short-handed goal and Krug scored on the power play.
Marchand's first goal pushed Boston ahead 1-0 just over 12 minutes into the game. His score was filled with stick-handling and persistence after he beat two Kings players before slipping the puck between Quick's pads.
Bergeron's pass sent Marchand in one-on-one against defenceman Drew Doughty. The Bruins winger shifted around Doughty, but lost control of the puck just before he attempted a shot. After getting it back, alone with three Kings players in front, he shifted around Anze Kopitar before firing a forehand shot.
Krug's slap shot from the right circle clanged into the net off the right post, giving Boston a 2-0 edge at 17:51.
Los Angeles sliced it to 2-1 early in the second when Mike Richards circled the net and slipped a pass to Mitchell, who one-timed a shot under the crossbar near the right post.
Quick kept it a one-goal game for the rest of the second with a couple of nice stops. He made a sprawling right-pad stop on Reilly Smith's bid from the edge of the crease and a glove stop on Zdeno Chara.

The present invention relates to gaming machines, and particularly to tower lights for such machines.
Gaming machine manufacturers continually seek to improve gaming machines to make them more user friendly and to entice players to play them. Gaming machine manufacturers have thus configured gaming machines with sound systems, player features such as cup holders, and a variety of other features. However, there remains a need for further improvements to gaming machines to make them more exciting.
The invention is a tower light, such as for a wagering gaming machine.
In one embodiment, the tower light comprises a plurality of lamp mounts. In a preferred embodiment, the lamp mounts comprise generally planar printed circuit boards.
A plurality of individually controllable LEDs are associated with each circuit board. The LEDs are located at a periphery of each circuit board and configured to emit light outwardly from its associated circuit board. The LEDs are spaced around the periphery of the circuit board. In embodiment, the circuit boards are circular in shape, so that the LEDs extend 360 degrees around the circuit boards. The LEDs are preferably configured to emit light in two or more colors.
The plurality of printed of circuit boards are stacked in a vertically. The circuit boards are oriented so that the LEDs associated therewith are aligned into vertical columns. The arrangement of the LEDs into rows (around the lamp mounts) and in vertical columns creates a square LED matrix.
The tower light further comprises a housing. In one embodiment, the housing comprises a base, a globe and a cap. The lamp mounts and their associated LEDs are located in the globe.
The tower light may be connected to via a communication link to a controller, such as a gaming machine controller, and a power source. The tower light may be controlled so that the LED matrix is capable of generating animation and information such as text and numbers. This information may be useful to the operator of a gaming machine and/or be provided to player, such as to entice a player to play the gaming machine or to provide a player of the gaming machine information during game play.
Further objects, features, and advantages of the present invention over the prior art will become apparent from the detailed description which follows, when considered with the figures provided herein.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough description of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.
In general, the invention comprises a tower light for a gaming machine. Such a light may be located at a top of a gaming machine and be used to provide information, such as gaming machine condition information to an operator of the machine, and gaming machine attract information to a player.
In one embodiment, the gaming machine 100 defines a generally enclosed interior space for housing one or more components. As illustrated, the gaming machine 100 generally comprises a housing or cabinet 102 for supporting and/or enclosing various components required for operation of the gaming machine. In the embodiment illustrated, the housing 102 includes a door located at a front thereof, the door capable of being moved between an open position which allows access to the interior, and a closed position in which access to the interior is generally prevented. The configuration of the gaming machine 100 may vary. In the embodiment illustrated, the gaming machine 100 has an �upright� configuration. However, the gaming machine 100 could have other configurations, shapes or dimensions (such as being of a �slant�-type or other configuration as is well known to those of skill in the art).
The gaming machine 100 preferably includes at least one display device 104 configured to display game information. The display device 104 may be a mechanical, electro-mechanical or electronic display, such as one or more rotating reels, a video display or the like. When the display device 104 is an electronic video display, it may comprise a cathode ray tube (CRT), high resolution flat panel liquid crystal display (LCD), projection LCD, plasma display, field emission display, digital micro-mirror display (DMD), digital light processing display (DLP), LCD touchscreen, a light emitting display (LED) or other suitable displays now known or later developed, in a variety of resolutions, sizes and formats (e.g. 4:3, widescreen or the like). The display 104 may be capable of projecting or displaying a wide variety of information, including images, symbols and other indicia or information associated with game play, game promotion or other events.
The gaming machine 100 may be configured to present a wide variety of games. These may include video poker games, slot-type games, blackjack, bingo and bingo-based games, and other games now known or later developed. In one embodiment, certain game outcomes may be designated as winning outcomes. Awards may be provided for winning outcomes, such as monetary payments (or representations thereof, such as award of credits), prizes or the like. As is well known in the art, the number of winning outcomes may vary dependent upon the desired payout or winning percentage offered to the players as compared to wagers that are retained by the gaming establishment.
The gaming machine 100 also preferably includes one or more player input devices 108 (such as input buttons, a touch-screen display, joystick, touch-pad or the like) that may be utilized by the player to facilitate game play. Also included in the player input devices 108 is a means for accepting a wager or token representing monetary value. As illustrated in
In one preferred embodiment, the gaming machine 100 includes a microprocessor or controller (not shown) for controlling the gaming machine, including receiving player input and sending output signals for controlling the various components of the machine 100 (such as generating game information for display by the display 104). The controller may be arranged to receive input such as a bet credit signal when one of a wager button is depressed, and a currency insert signal when a player inserts bills or coins. The controller may be arranged to send signals for determining winning combinations, for causing the coin hopper/dispenser to pay winnings, and to cause a display to display winning amount information. In addition, the controller is preferably arranged to determine if a round of game play has resulted in a win, and if so, the amount to be paid to the player for that win.
In operation, the player may initiate game play by placing a wager. The wager is placed by activating one of the player input devices 108 such as a play one credit button 116 which places a single credit wager or a max bet button 118 which places a maximum wager for that round of game play. The maximum bet is commonly defined as playing or betting an amount comprising a multiple of the value of a single wager up to a predefined upper bet limit or threshold. When the player actuates either the play one credit button 116 or the max bet button 118, a wager in that amount is placed and the player's credit base is decreased by the number of credits wagered. The player's remaining credit base is typically displayed to the player by way of the display device 104. Upon placing a wager, the game may begin automatically or the player may initiate the game by activating another player input device, upon which the gaming machine 100 presents one or more game elements which are used to determine if the player has received a winning combination.
The gaming machine 100 generally includes a means for paying a player any winnings accumulated during game play. When a player wins a game, the player is preferably paid in the form of stored credits, the amount of which is indicated to the player on the display 104. A �cash out� button may be provided for permitting a player to be paid the winnings or redeeming any credits initially paid into the gaming machine 100. The term �cash out� is used herein to define an event initiated by the player wherein the player receives a number of coins or currency that is equivalent to the value of the player's accrued credit base.
Typically when a player cashes out, the player receives either a paper currency voucher or currency in the form of a coin disbursement. If the player decides to receive a coin disbursement, the gaming machine 100 activates a coin hopper or coin handling device (not shown) which physically counts and delivers the proper number of coins to the player. The coin handling device is commonly configured to transport coins from a supply source (hopper or bin filled with coins) to a coin tray 124 or payout receptacle where the player physically receives the coins. The player might also elect to cash out by having a ticket or other media dispensed, such as via a printer 120.
The gaming machine 100 may be configured as a stand-alone device or be in communication with one or more external devices at one or more times. For example, the gaming machine 100 may be configured as a server based device and obtain game code or game outcome information from a remote server. The gaming machine 100 may also communicate with a remote accounting server and/or player tracking server, as is well known in the art. As indicated below, a preferred embodiment of the invention is a bingo game which involves two or more players. In such a game, each player may play the bingo game on a different gaming machine 100. Each gaming machine 100 may communicate with a central server (not shown). The central server may generate game information which is provided to one or more gaming machines which are in communication therewith.
It will be appreciated that the gaming machine and system described and illustrated in
One embodiment of the invention is a tower light for a gaming machine.
In a preferred embodiment, each lamp mount 202 comprises a generally planar printed circuit board. Such a board may comprise a substrate having a plurality of leads or connectors embedded in or located thereon.
As illustrated in
In one embodiment, each lamp mount 202 has a periphery which is circular in shape. Of course, the mounts 202 might have other configurations/shapes. Preferably, the LEDs encircle the lamp mounts 202 so as to be viewable from all directions (360 degrees).
In a preferred embodiment, the tower light 200 further comprises an enclosure or housing for the mounts 202 and their associated LEDs 204. In one embodiment, the tower light 200 includes a base 206. The base 206 may be constructed from a variety of materials and be various colors or have various attributes such as metallic plating to improve the ornamental appearance thereof. The base 206 may be generally cylindrical in shape. A bottom of the base 206 may be connected to a gaming machine, such as via one or more fasteners.
In one embodiment, the housing or enclosure of the tower light 200 further comprises a globe 208. In a preferred embodiment, the globe 208 comprises a generally a clear (colorless), transparent or translucent body, whereby light emitted by the LEDs 204 can travel through the globe 208 and is visible from the exterior thereof.
As illustrated, the globe 208 may comprise a cylindrical, sleeve-like body having a bottom 210 and a top 212. In this configuration, the body 208 of the globe 208 comprises a cylindrical wall that defines an interior space therein. The bottom 210 of the globe 208 is preferably located in a slot 214 in the base 206 and extends upwardly there from. So connected, the bottom 210 of the globe 208 is generally closed by the base 206 of the tower light 200.
A cap 216 is located at the top 212 of the globe 208. The cap 216 may be constructed of various materials, but is preferably opaque. The cap 216 may include a slot or groove for accepting the top 212 of the globe 208, similar to the base 206.
Preferably, the lamp mounts 202 with their associated LEDs 204 are located inside of the enclosure or housing of the tower light 200. In particular, the lamp mounts 202 are located in the interior of the globe 208, between the base 206 and cap 216.
In one embodiment, a rod 218 may be provided for connecting the various elements of the tower light 200 and providing stability thereto. As illustrated, the rod 218 may connect at one end to the base 206. For example, the end of the rod 218 may be threaded for mating engagement with threads located in a mount of the base 206. The rod 218 may extend generally centrally through the globe 208 and connect at its top end to the cap 216. Similar to the base 206, the cap 216 may connect to the rod 218 via engaging threads.
In order for the rod 218 to extend through the globe 208, the rod 218 passes through the mounts 202. As illustrated in
Additional details of the tower light 200 will be described with reference to
In one embodiment, the tower light 200 includes at least one connector. The one or more connectors may comprise a power link and/or a communication or control link to the tower light. In one embodiment, at least one connector 224 is provided for providing power to and/or otherwise controlling each lamp mount 202 and its associated LEDs 204. For example, a connector 224 comprising a plurality of wires may extend through the rod 218 or next to the rod 218 through the openings 220 in the lamp mounts 206 (so that the connector is not visible when viewing the tower light from the exterior thereof). The connector 224 may connect to the circuits of the lamp mounts 206.
In one embodiment, the connector 224 is configured to also connect to a controller. In embodiment, the connector 224 may have a USB-type connector 226 at one end for connecting to a USB port 228. This port 226 may be in communication with a controller 228, such as the peripheral controller or master gaming controller of the gaming machine.
In use, as indicated above, the tower light 200 may be associated with a gaming machine. The tower light 200 may be mounted at a top portion of the gaming machine so as to provide the best visibility thereto.
Control signals or instructions may be sent from the controller 230 to cause the LEDs 204 associated with the lamp mounts 202 to illuminate. In one embodiment, each LED 204 associated with each lamp mount 202 can be individually controlled. In this manner, each LED 204 can be caused to turn on or off at certain times. By controlling the LEDs 204, various light patterns or patterns of illumination may be generated. Such light patterns may be used to convey gaming machine state information. For example, in the event of a gaming machine malfunction, the controller 230 may cause all of the LEDs 204 to turn on an off at predetermined intervals, thus creating a �blinking� effect. Other light patterns might be used to convey information to players. For example, the LEDs 204 might be used to generate light which appears as letters (such as spelling words), numbers, or which otherwise creates pleasing patterns.
In one embodiment, the LEDs 204 are multi-color, capable of emitting or generating light in more than one color. Thus, in one embodiment, the LEDs may be controlled to emit light in various colors as part of the above conveyance of information. For example, the LEDs might be caused to �blink� in red to denote a game malfunction, and be configured to emit red, white and blue light in sequence as part of a gaming machine �attract� program.
The invention may have a variety of configurations. In one embodiment, each lamp mount 202 may have an associated processor or controller for processing control instructions received from the external controller. In another embodiment, the tower light 200 may have one or more processors or controllers for such a purpose.
The LEDs may be configured to emit light in various colors. For example, the LEDs may all be configured to emit white light, may be configured to emit different colors of lights (for example, all LEDs associated with each particular lamp mount may be configured to emit a particular color light, and the LEDs of different lamp mounts may be configured to emit different colors of light), and/or the LEDs may each be configured to emit two or more different colors of light.
The number of LEDs associated with each lamp mount may vary. Similarly, the number of lamp mounts may vary. In embodiment, there may be 10 lamp mounts with associated LEDs. However, there may be a greater or lesser number, but preferably there are a sufficient number of lamp mounts and associated LEDs to provide a dense matrix of light emitting elements sufficient to present information.
The size of the tower light and its shape may vary. As indicated, in a preferred embodiment, the tower light is generally cylindrical in shape. In that configuration, the lamp mounts preferably have a circular shape, as does the globe. However, the tower light could have other shapes, such as square, triangular or the like.
Preferably, lamp mounts and globe are sized so that the LEDs are located near the interior of the globe. In this manner, light emitted by the LEDs is effectively transmitted through the globe to the exterior of the tower light.
The configuration of the housing of the tower light may vary. For example, portions of the housing might be molded together (such as the cap and globe) or be connected or assembled in other manners than that described above. Further, the housing might comprise additional or other components.
The tower light can be controlled in various manners. For example, the tower light may be hard wired to the gaming machine controller (or a back plane thereof or the like), or may utilize other connectors (Ethernet, parallel, RS-232 or the like). Also, the tower light may be provided with separate pathways of electrical power and control. For example, in one embodiment, the tower light may be controlled wirelessly with control instructions, but have a dedicated power connection.
While the tower light has particular applicability to a gaming machine, it might be used with other devices or for other purposes.
The tower light of the invention has numerous advantages over the prior art. First, most prior art tower lights merely have globes having colored sections which are back-lit, such as a globe with a bottom blue section, a middle white section and a top red section. These tower lights can only display blue, white or red in the sections thereof which are illuminated. It is not possible, however, for such a tower light to convey text, numbers or the like, or to change the color of the various sections thereof.
Other tower lights have been configured with LEDs. However, these tower lights may simply have a top portion and a bottom portion with scattered LEDs. In this configuration, each half of the tower light can be configured to illuminate its LEDs, again simply illuminating portions of the tower light.
One advantage of the invention is a tower light having a plurality of stacked lamp mounts having associated individually controllable LEDs. The LEDs are arranged so that they are aligned in rows and columns forming a matrix. In the configuration of the invention, each LED is individually controllable, permitting discrete illumination of individual areas, rather than just top or bottom portions (for example, LEDs on either side of a bottom portion of the tower light may be illuminated in accordance with the present invention, while LEDs there between are not).
Further, the individual control of the LEDs and their arrangement into a square matrix or array permits the LEDs to be selectively illuminated to produce images of letters, numbers or the like. This is provides significant advantages over the prior art where the tower light can only be illuminated in general areas. For example, the tower light of the present invention could be configured to display a scrolling message like �J-A-C-K-P-O-T� or a variety of other messages, images or animation, which prior art devices are not capable of producing.
Another advantage of the invention is that the LEDs are arranged around the circular periphery of the tower light, rather than merely in a vertical plane facing in one direction. In this manner, information can be provided from all sides of the tower light, and different information may be displayed by different areas around the tower light.
It will be understood that the above described arrangements of apparatus and the method there from are merely illustrative of applications of the principles of this invention and many other embodiments and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

We are RCI timeshare owners, but were not able to get a property this time of year so chose a rental instead, the property was very safe and secured, it had all the amenities of home, right down to detergent , soaps, shampoo, games, DVD's, and the VIEW!! it was amazing, when we arrived, we noticed no air conditioning, was a little worried, but as soon as we open the patio doors, the bay breeze was wondering, never did get hot, and got pretty cool at night. There is so much to do in this area and easy to get around, can't wait to go back.

We just loved Robin's condo!!! We enjoyed every minute of it! Sometimes when we didn't have anything special to do, we just lavished in the sun and view on her balcony!!! Her location and very nicely decorated home was such a gift and was so much appreciated!!! It was so comfortable and yet so stylish! She provided so much right in the condo, from a drying rack to nice blankets and pretty dishes. She was a joy to work with and answered any questions we had before and during our stay. The laundry room on the same floor was just down the hall and very convenient! We enjoyed many close restaurants and shops just a 20 minute walk away!!! It was the best of both worlds, being so close to the ocean, also. We preferred the bay, because of the calm waters and took many long walks on the beach and loved watching the sailboats. We hope to stay again at her condo and make it a longer stay this time!!! We stayed ten days, but we miss it a lot! We would highly recommend this condo! Thanks Robin for everything!!!

Our stay last week was wonderfull. This was the first time we have rented a VRBO and I can say it surpassed our expectations. Hopefully it will be available on our next trip to the San Diego area. Unit was very secure, clean and quiet. The extra's such as the bikes and beach chair's were great extra. Thanks for providing such a nice place for us to stay at. John, Linda and Taylor.

Fabulous Getaway
Review submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of arrival: July 11, 2009
The condo was just perfect for our vacation stay. It was clean and well-maintained and we had a fabulous view of the bay. We walked just about anywhere we wanted to go. There were many nice retaurants and things to do not very far away.

A Stay in Paradise
Review submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of arrival: April 10, 2009
This condo is in a great location on Sail Bay with the beach and a walking pathway just steps away. When booking this holiday we knew we wanted to be on the water, but were debating between staying on the ocean side or in the bay. The area in the bay is much quieter and calmer and definitely a much better beach area. We are so glad we decided to stay where we did. This condo has beautiful accommodations with everything that you could ever need. The condo is also close to many major attractions with easy access to the freeway. We had a very pleasant experience in renting this condo and the owners made it a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this condo.

Great Rental
Review submitted: April 22, 2008 Date of arrival: April 12, 2008
My husband and I had a wonderful vacation here. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful. Yet it's just a short walk to all the hustle and bustle of Mission Beach. We went for a long walk or bike ride every day.
The condo is very comfortable and luxurious. I loved the big tub! And we enjoyed cooking some of our meals in.
I highly recommend this rental. We sure plan to come back some day.

Hi and thank you for taking the time to look for guest comments. It shows you are a savy, careful shopper and I admire that! While Robin's condo has been a very popular vacation rental for several years now, it has never had a guestbook of it's own. You can read all the comments for our 7 Riviera Villas vacation rental condos in our general guestbook on my website at "nancysvacationrentals" or at VRBO/18977. Robin's condo is directly below mine in the same building with the same floor plan and view. You will be able to get an idea of what our guests think of the building, the view, the Sail Bay area and of me, the person to whom you will be trusting your hard-earned money and vacation time! I hope YOUR comments will be added to them in the near future!
sincerely, Nancy; Nancy's Vacation Rentals

|August 18, 2012

So as to do this, the next thing that you need to do after you win the lotto is to make a choice whether or not you are going to stop your job, shut your business or start a brand new business. If you make a decision to take a position in a family business to put aside a bequest for your folks, you should do your research to agree on whether or not it is a good investment and also think about whether or not your family members are enthused to be hard-working in running the firm if you're no longer competent to run it.
You have to spend a little bit to share a little bit and to save rather a lot. These are the things you may also do. They're extremely vital.

HP Makes More Money, Cuts 16,000 Jobs
Re:How about cutting severance packages first? (288 comments)
Since this was marked informative (thank you) I thought it would be fun to dig up the actual figures. It isn't quite as bad as I seem to remember, but I still think it's indicative of a company that pays far too much to CEO's that are either temporary, or fail to perform. Feel free to correct me where I've made a mistake, this isn't the type of thing I want to spend all night on, but perhaps someone would have fun finding their actual yearly salaries and bonuses.
CEO Carly Fiorina served from 1999 to 2005, since then it looks like HP has had 5 CEO's including the current one
Carly Fiorina - July 1999 to Feb 2005 - $20m severance
Robert Wayman - Feb 2005 to Mar 2005 - $3m cash bonus - Interim CEO
Mark Hurd - April 2005 to Aug 2010 - $12.2m severance
Cathie Lesjack - Aug 2010 to Sep 2010 - $1m cash bonus, 2.5m stock grants - Interim CEO
Leo Apotheker - Sep 2010 to Sep 2011 - $7.2m severance
Meg Whitman - Sep 2011 to Present
So I was exaggerating a bit, but lets look at this from a worst case scenario.
From 2005 to 2011 (6 years) HP had 6 CEO's, that's an average of a CEO a year (not really, because we're taking the end of one's career and the beginning of another, but like I said, worst case). Not including their regular "pay", they took home a total of $45.9m in severance pay, an average of $9.18m per CEO not including Meg, who has yet to receive a severance package (we're waiting..). Basically, that's 9.2m for each for being fired. Here's the crazy part. The Interim CEO's, who by all accounts did a fine job (looking mostly at Robert Wayman), got paid less than those who were "let go" (namely Mark Hurd and Leo Apotheker)
So things aren't quite as bad with the CEO's as I seem to have remembered, but I still feel like that's fairly abismal performance for a company that has been falling off a cliff since... well, since I can remember. Granted I'm young compared to some of you, but I can remember the days before Carly Fiorina, and a time I wouldn't go near HP computers because of how terrible I thought they were, for a variety of reasons that's pointless to debate here.

MAGPIES: Quick turnaround for Simkin's charges
6:00am Monday 17th March 2014 in Sport By David Williams, Sports Reporter
DORCHESTER Town will have to put the disappointment of Saturday's single-goal defeat to Bath City behind them as quickly as possible with tonight's trip to Essex their next big challenge.
The Magpies face Chelmsford City (7.45pm) at Melbourne Stadium this evening, starting the game three points adrift at the bottom of the Skrill South table.
A 1-0 loss at Bath on the weekend, coupled with wins for the likes of Gosport, Tonbridge and Hayes & Yeading, dealt Phil Simkin's men a massive blow in their attempts to stay up.
Missed chances early on ultimately proved costly for Dorchester at Mayday Trust Park as the hosts took the lead just after the interval and were rarely threatened in the rest of the game – Nick Crittenden was also sent off for two bookable offences to hinder the visitors' cause even further.
"We played really well in the first half and should have been clear at half-time," said Simkin. "But we gave away a goal early in the second half and we more or less fell apart.
"They scored two or three minutes into the second half which got their tails up, they pinned us back and we couldn't make much ground going forward.
"We played really well and took the game to them, but when they scored they began to ooze with confidence out of them and it was hard to get back into the game.
"We couldn't get our noses in front when we had the chance and they did – I think that's what the difference was. Once they got in front they dominated the game."
Looking ahead to tonight's key clash, Simkin added: "It's never easy at Chelmsford and if you've been there you'll know why.
"We've got a bit of work to do and will have to get a side together with players missing."
Steve Walker, Clive Makoni and Dan Munday are all unavailable to take on Mark Hawkes' side, who sit 16th following a 4-2 reverse at Eastbourne Borough on Saturday.
The Clarets, then managed by former Wimbledon striker Dean Holdsworth, were beaten 2-0 by the Magpies at the Avenue last September.
Goals from Danny way and Crittenden saw Dorchester claim their first win of the season at the eighth attempt.
Since then there have been mixed fortunes for the Essex outfit, with heavy defeats to Boreham Wood, Bromley and Dover countered by victories over Bishop's Stortford, Concord and Bromley in the reverse fixture.
However, they have lost five of their last seven and the Magpies will know nothing less than a point is needed tonight.

Green glass bottle with copper foil on neck and cap, and red + gold label. .33l. Botlle is double dated with production date (18 january 2011) and minimum expiration date (1 year later) -- a brilliant system every brewer should adopt!
Consumed at restaurant in Kutná Hora, CZ.
Pours a very clear golden color, as crystalline as i,ve ever seen in a beer. The amplemcarbonation consists of fine and larger bubbles, leading up to a white frothy head of limited duration.
Aroma: A fine malty smell with a clear hop presence and hints of fine white wine and evidence of the higher ABV.
T - excellent hop/malt balance from start to finish, although ending with more hoppinees. More sweet and less bitter than the description of the brewer would lead me to expect.
M - good medium body
O - this Budvar is indeed special and easy to recommend.

SACRAMENTO â" A pair of influential Riverside County tribes with casinos are trying to scuttle a gaming compact between the state and a Central Valley tribe that could come up for an Assembly ratification vote as early as today.
The Brown administrationâs agreement with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians would allow it to open a casino off Highway 99 in Madera County. The pact requires the North Fork tribe to share casino revenue with the Wiyot Tribe of Humboldt County.
First, though, the deal must be ratified by the Legislature.
Supporters, including the governorâs office and organized labor, say the casino would generate 5,000 jobs and $100 million in economic activity. The deal, they say, would help improve the lot of the tribeâs 1,900 members while generating revenue for nongaming tribes, such as the Wiyot band.
But opponents, including the Morongo Band of Mission Indians near Banning and the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians near Temecula, contend that the pact would set a precedent for tribesâ opening casinos near urban areas, far from their reservations.
Lawmakers are caught in the middle.
Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside, said he has not made up his mind. Medina sits on the Assembly Governmental Organization Committee, which held a lengthy hearing on the North Fork compact last week.
âI have to weigh both sides,â Medina said.
Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, whose district is near the Pechanga casino, said she also has not decided how to vote. She has received stacks of letters from both sides, she said.
Assemblyman Eric Linder, R-Corona, plans to oppose the legislation, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Teams of lobbyists continued to blanket lawmakersâ Capitol offices Wednesday with âfloor alertsâ urging the dealâs ratification or rejection.
âRatification of these particular compacts would not be just and would neither serve the interests of a majority of Indian tribes nor a majority of Californians,â read a letter from Mark Macarro, chairman of the Pechanga tribe, to the author of the ratification bill, Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Los Compton.
"The Morongo Band of Mission Indians remains committed to the promise that California tribes made 13 years ago when voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 1A which allowed tribes to build casinos on restored and existing Indian reservations and Rancherias," Michael Fisher, a spokesman for the tribe, said in a statement explaining the tribe's opposition to the compact. "Morongo has consistently upheld that promise and has opposed tribal gambling on land that is not on or contiguous to a tribeâs existing reservation or rancheria."
Other Inland tribes with large casinos are neutral on the pact: the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians near San Bernardino and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in the Coachella Valley.
The outcome of the North Fork agreement has implications for another gaming agreement negotiated by the Brown administration. That deal would allow the Estom Yumeka Maidu Tribe of the Enterprise Rancheria to open a casino off Highway 65 in Yuba County.

Grand Junction, Colo.-based Mesa Systems has agreed to pay $450,000 and furnish other relief required by a court-ordered consent decree to settle a national origin discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
This is the largest national origin employment discrimination settlement ever achieved by the EEOC in Utah.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Hispanic workers employed at Mesa Systems' Salt Lake City warehouse were subjected to discrimination based on national origin. The immigrant employees were subjected to a hostile work environment in many ways, including racist name calling and slurs by the warehouse managers.
The EEOC also alleged that employees of various national origins were subjected to a restrictive language policy that had a disparate impact against Hispanics and Asians/Pacific Islanders. The EEOC further claimed that a number of employees suffered retaliation, including terminations and reductions in hours, after two employee petitions and other complaints were submitted to management about the national origin discrimination. Mesa denied it violated the law.
The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, after first attempting to resolve the case informally through its conciliation process. In addition to the monetary settlement Mesa Systems has agreed to extensive injunctive relief, including: training, revision of policies, the rescission of the restrictive language policy, apologies to the victims of discrimination, anti-discrimination notice posting, reporting to the EEOC and programs to stop any future violations of federal law.
According to its website, Mesa Systems delivers moving services to a corporate, commercial and residential customer base through four transportation subsidiaries operating in six states.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States expressed disappointment on Thursday with the response by Iraqi security forces to the rapid advance of militants that have overrun Iraqi cities in the past several days.
"The events of the last several days are alarming," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told a daily briefing. "There was a clear structural breakdown, we were disappointed by the steps that were taken by a range of security forces."
Psaki said the Obama administration was considering all options, except for sending U.S. troops into Iraq, to help the Iraq government fend off the increasing insurgency from radical Islamists.

The impact of race and gender revisited
by kjblair2, Mon Jun 02, 2008 at 04:27:19 PM EDT
This is a follow up to a previous diary where I had started to look at the impact of race and gender on selected primaries after West Virginia. The premise is that one can take the data from exit polls and estimate the percentage of voters that used race and gender in their voting decisions. Most exit polls ask if race or gender was important in deciding who you voted for. By looking at how people who answered "yes" to these questions, one can determine their impact on the outcome.

During the period, comparable store sales fell by 1.8%.
"Our results continue to reflect the economic challenges facing our core customer and an intense competitive environment," said CEO Howard Levine. "Although our sales results remain below our expectations, we are encouraged by the improving trends."
Management expects comparable store sales to be flat in the next quarter.
When times are tough, consumers tend to spend less. However, efforts to spend less often include trading down to deep discounters like Family dollar. The chart below from an investor presentation highlights how Family Dollar's sales take off right after economic shocks.

Putin withdraws troops, calls for end to Kiev's military ops
Newscast Media MOSCOW—Ukrainian right-wing groups are behind the recent events
in the country, Russian President Vladmir Putin said, adding that Kiev has not
disarmed them. He also called on anti-Kiev protesters to postpone a May 11
federalization referendum.
"Russia believes that the crisis, which originated in Ukraine and is now actively
developing in accordance with the worst-case scenario, is to be blamed on those
who organized the coup in Kiev on 22-23 February and still do not care to disarm the
right-wing and nationalist elements," the president said.
Direct dialogue between Kiev and anti-government protesters in southeast Ukraine is
key to ending the crisis, Putin said.
It is now essential "to create the necessary conditions for this dialogue," he added.
This, however, would require rescheduling the referendum, which anti-government
activists scheduled on May 11 to determine the fate of southeast Ukraine.
"We are calling for southeast Ukraine representatives, supporters of federalization of
the country, to postpone the May 11 referendum to create the necessary conditions
for dialogue," Putin said at a press conference with OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and
Swiss President Didier Burkhalter in Moscow.
In response to Putin's offer, one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk
People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said the possibility would be discussed Thursday.
"We respect Putin's position. He is a balanced politician. So we will submit this
proposal tomorrow to the people's council," he said.
President Vladimir Putin also said that Russia has withdrawn its troops from the
Ukrainian border.
"We have been told that our troops on the Ukrainian border are a concern – we have
withdrawn them. They are now not on Ukrainian territory, but at locations where they
conduct regular drills at ranges," he said.
Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested holding "roundtable discussions,"
a proposal that Moscow fully supports, Putin added.
Moscow and the OSCE agree substantially on the approach to resolving the situation
in Ukraine, Putin said, adding that negotiations had made it clear.

EU and US corporations may need Russia more than it needs them
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—US companies are more dependent on Russia than
vice versa, said Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy
"US and European corporations need Russia more than Russia needs them. Russia is a
big country with a lot of resources, including, most obviously, energy," Weisbrot told
RIA Novosti on Tuesday, commenting on the White House's pressuring of US CEOs not
to attend the SPIEF economic summit in St. Petersburg.
"China is also a major trading partner and potential source of investment. China this
year will pass up the US to become the largest economy in the world, and in a
decade it will be 60 percent larger," he added. CONTINUE TO FULL STORY>>
