What's Up Dog, SF
- Melanie Wong Feb 3, 2007 12:51 AM
Lunch on the run yesterday was a plain ol' hot dog from the What's Up Dog on Bush in SF's Financial District. Even though it was rather late in the lunch hour, the grilled dog served up instantly seemed in fresh and in good form without telltale dessication from holding too long. All beef, it had a snappy casing and nice spicing. The bun was a bit dry, not toasted, but good integrity. When I asked the source, the employee didn't know but volunteered that it was different than the usual bun in use and might become a replacement. I would vote for it.
Grilled with grill marks?
Usual toppings?
Celery salt or poppy seed bun anywhere in the establishment?
Polish, hot links or italian sausage on the menu?
Sigh, I do love a good hot dog.
>Menu here-
I think I like their selection- will give it a try. I just read on the web somewhere they order from the same distrib as Top Dog
re: P. Punko
Not cross-hatched grill marks, but a brown sear stretching the length of each side.
re: P. Punko
Love of an haute dog is universal.
The menu shows a relatively correct Chicago-style dog (not on steamed poppy seed bun) AND they have slaw for a slaw dog. A friend recommends eating a super spicy hotlink with cole slaw- the hot and cool forming a nice mix.
I have never been too thrilled with them dogs although better than most.
Still looking for the most flavorful steamed dog and bun.
re: Squeat Mungry
Heheh, what I liked about the test bun was not only the texture but the size. A frank can get lost in the sesame seed buns that Top Dog uses, this was the right proportions for a hot dog.
re: Squeat Mungry
It sounded like this bun as still in "beta", so do speak up about it since you're a regular.
re: Squeat Mungry
Hey Squeat, good to see you on CH! Did you bring my friend Tana with you?
I recently publicly lamented that you weren't on CH in the context of a thread about the best screen names... (just say it aloud, folks).
re: Gary Soup
Hey Gary! Tana's active on that other board (haven't seen you over there much, lately), but I don't think she cares too much for the CH interface. Good to see you, too.
Melanie, I will definitely speak to them about the bun next time. I'll report. (Heh. Finally figured out how to use the 'reply' feature.)
re: Squeat Mungry
Tana doesn't care much for me, either.
If I posted as much on the other board as I do here, the total daily post count for the California (+ Nevada and Hawaii) board over there would be at least double what it is.
re: funmarysf
Maybe they use the same local distributor, but it's been my understanding that the various sausages and franks that Top Dog uses are from a variety of producers. I do know that the bockwurst at Top Dog, which is my favorite and usual order, is made by Schwarz Sausage . . . one of the reasons I was so happy to stumble upon the Sausage Factory Outlet on Mission.
re: Melanie Wong
TD's website confrims this:
".... we continue to seek out the best sausage from the best sausage-makers who, born to a tradition of taste, we believe, tend to serve it better. Calabrese? How ya gonna top S.F.'s award-winning house of Molinari? Buon Gusto! Or that little Portuguese plant in San Leandro that makes but two products, one of which, the linguiça, we are proud to say, stands pork shoulder butt higher than any of its competitors in the Bay Area. Then there's the cooked bratwurst from Saag's — as authentic an old-world European taste as you're likely to find. And from another quality third generation producer, Schwarz of S.F., bockwurst unsurpassed!"
re: Gary Soup
Thanks for tracking that down.
I wonder who the San Leandro linguica maker is? TD used to use Santos linguisa, but I don't think that plant is still operating after the late owner gunned down the federal inspectors...
re: Melanie Wong
re: Gary Soup
The 2-product description sounds more like the old Santos than Amaral.
Maybe TD's site is out of date.
re: Melanie Wong
I'm sorry but I am just search-burned. But I read in the last month somewhere like maybe the Chron or East Bay Express or something ... or maybe I heard it on tv ... the San Leandro place is kaput ... something is replacing it ... or it is being torn down or something.
re: rworange
Amaral or Santos? Both are/were in San Leandro.
re: Melanie Wong
My search skills fail me, though I just gave it a quick shot ... I guess that's in bad taste to say. I'm guessing Santos.
I wasn't so interested in Portuguese food back in 2000 when this happened, and when I recently read (heard?) about the sausage factory being torn down I was feeling sorry I never tried them.
I'm not sure if that was a good thing or not ...
Conditions were horrid at Santos Linguisa Factory
Hmmm ... I don't remember seeing Amaral on my Portuguese food crawl. I'll have to keep my eyes open. Maybe I should trot over to Top Dog and see who is making the linguisa these days.
re: mulanone
Most of the places that get mentioned are actually better thank Pink's, imo. Top Dog is still the gold standard for me...there's just nothing like it anywhere else in the California or the country, so far as I can tell.
re: a_and_w
Must try the hot dog places in SF. I don't think the line is nearly as long as Pink's.
re: mulanone
Anyone been to Rosamunde lately? Love their sausage selection but had a mildly negative service experience the last time I went a few months ago. Anyone have a more recent visitation?
re: Calvinist
Just was there today with a friend from out of town (to enjoy the Toronado Pub/Rosamunde dual experience before touring the Haight.)
Had no issues with the service, and the Hungarian sausage I got was pretty darn tasty.
re: mulanone
If you're ever cruising Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz Mountains, check out All American Hot Dogs in Ben Lomond. Nothing fancy, just great dogs (I'm partial to the Polish) and shave ice.

Thanks for the tip ... hot dogs and shave ice. Here's the address for anyone interested.

I'm a Marinite and always found Royal Frank on 4th street in San Rafael to be better than top dog, and then top dog better than the rest of the field. WUD I find ok, but not great. Is there anywhere you can find a serious, German-style bratwurst though? Better yet, kasekringer (ok I'm dreaming now)? Those Germans really put us to shame in this category.

Belgian deep tech and house stalwart Van returns with "Lassitude Active EP" after his much loved "Tout Much EP". Van has a very busy schedule these days with more EP's in the works and gigs around the Madrid area coming thick and fast. He is also about to begin his radioshow on Vicious Radio with a showcase on the best from Bonzai's labels past, present and future. This EP is backed up with a couple of outstanding remixes.
On the original Van does what he does best, ramp up the energy! Strong deep tech grooves with his trademark quality FX work on vocal samples shining through. Nice steady rhythms on the arrangement with a subtle yet very effective bass shoring up the lower end. Very energetic vibe is generated here, this one is destined for a lot of playlists for sure.
German DJ and producer Marc Zimmerman provides a stunning remix. Marc began music playing trumpet and piano when he was younger, now he co-owns a record label, gigs all over Germany and has a raft of releases under his belt. This remix gets right down to business from the off, straight in your face acid grooves with a great vocal sample coming through. Strong, solid drum and percussions are the perfect companion for the acid bassline that dominates throughout, top stuff.
Spanish DJ and producer Natalia Martinez aka Narol MarGo is next up for the remix with an deep tech house offering. Natalia is a product of the underground Madrid club scene with tech house and deep house being her main preferences. She also hosts shows on Vicious Radio and gigs all around Madrid. The track intros with classic kick and hat combi, even with this the you can feel the energy rise, a deep bass come is soon after with some very cool vocal FX work. Expertly crafted rhythms will have any floor shaking, on the break a huge controlled wall of sound creates a massive build up before the groove kicks back in for a fantastic ride through tech, awesome stuff!
[soundcloud id='94107744′]
Belgian producer R Varez aka RV turns out a progressive tech working for Progrez with his track "Disorder" which is backed up with two stunning remixes. RV's last outing came in the form of "Mamba" on Eyepatch which was very well recieved. Something a little different here and a difference that will not disappoint.
The original mix is a pure mind bender of a track, the vibe on this will have you hooked in for the duration against your will. Awesome sublime FX work on the vocals set the track up well with the synth work add extra weight. Superb groove with strong drum and percussion arrangement and rounded off with a wonderful deep bass. Serious stuff here and those vocals are really top notch.
The Revolving Junkie aka UK based producer Phil Kieran steps up to remix duty with a simply stunning effort. Nice flowing rhythms in the lush kicks and crispy hats, an almost acid bassline adds strength to this and gives a minimal feeling. On the first break some very clever FX work shines through on the synths with a brilliant shift in the beats with some shuffling. Very well constructed remix with a couple of amazing surprises!
Based in Madrid but hailing from Belgium, Van Czar is up next to the mixing desk with his Toxicology Remix. Van is a very busy man these days with DJ gigs a weekly feature along with his studio work. He has also started his own radishow on Vicious Radio in Madrid where he will showcase the latest works to come out of the Bonzai stable along with a look back at some of the classics from yesteryear. Van's remix takes things right into the depths of tech, very dark vibe and brilliant use of the original vocals to which Van attaches his unique style of FX work. Very strong deep groove which is a must for any box!
[soundcloud id='80052641′]
Van Czar turns up the heat yet again with another stunning example of deep tech house on this two track EP. Fresh from his last outing on Eyepatch with "Bouge" we see Van get right down to the heart and soul of his sound.
The title track "Tout Much" kicks us off in a minimal style with sharp hats and an awesome kick, the deep bass creeps up to deliver a pounding rhythm. Van's specialty takes centre stage, his love of using vocals and FX pack a huge punch on this track. Very strong sound for the clubs and a must for any box.
"Vapeur Tardive" takes us on a hypnotic trip through deep house with a very fresh almost uplifting sound. Super tight kicks and percs with a superb arrangement gives a steady rhythm that will keep those feet moving. Again we see Van get right into the action with wonderful FX work, but the big draw for this track is that awesome synth that just gets you hooked from the start. Big tune for the clubs and certain to be on a lot of playlists.

Belgian DJ and producer Van Czar debuts on Eyepatch with "Bouge".
In the early days Van was playing Belgian hard trance as he was heavily influenced by the Cherrymoon Club and in particular the Bonzai sound. Later on he would find the raw side of Detroit Techno and Chicago House and he then started to play gigs around Belgium playing with Sandy Warez in clubs like StarTraxx. As sound evolves so does Van, he now produces quality deep house and tech house but he never forgets his roots in techno.
"Bouge" is a real nice slice of deep funk filled house, heavy on the bass and a thumping kick with sharp percussions all very well arranged over a brilliant funky synth stab, vocal samples comes in on the break and fits well with the sound.
The Van Czar Deep Remix goes deeper still with a constant throbbing groove, the original pieces have been taken down to the depths of house and is quite simply pumping! The vocal sample again is a very welcome addition with very long well crafted delays.
Van Czar's moniker Cysxe provides another quality remix of his original tune. Much more upbeat vibe with the synth sounds brighter and more prominent, very much tech house with a deep tinge, we're just loving the vocal on this!
Big release for Van which is sure to be in a lot of playlists all over.

Dr. Ian Ross's Ratings
Dr. Ross seems nice but the major problem is his booking clerk. I have never dealt with a ruder person - all 3 times I spoke to her. Friends of mine who have also seen Dr. Ross, say the same thing about her. Although Dr. Ross has a very good reputation, dealing with this staff person is enough to make me go elsewhere even though Dr. Ross is the only oral surgeon in the Valley. I will go to Halifax.

I was so scared to have my wisdom teeth out but Dr. Ross was so kind to explain why they should be removed and what kind of problems could happen. He made it so much easier as he made me feel that he cared about me. He did a great job and have had no problems. I strongly recommend Dr.Ross he is funny,cares , and does a good job.

Dr. Ross extracted 2 badly impacted, infected wisdom teeth of mine in Kentville Hospital. He is personable, professional and I assume very skilled. His staff is great too. The only reason I am rating him OK on helpfulness is because I had some issues after surgery which were of concern to me ( pieces of teeth working their way through my gums and to the surface - white pointy pieces sticking out - I didn't know what the heck they were - it was like an alien growing out of me). The concerns would never have arisen if he had just explained that this type of thing is common and happens frequently - then I wouldn't have freaked out so much to see these things exiting my gums! But truly, he is terrific and highly recommended.

Dr Ian Ross is the nicest and funniest surgeon. I was terrified when i found out i had 5 wisdom teeth instead of 4. I actually started to cry like a baby haha. He was very comforting and super understanding. I had zero complications and didnt feel a thing. The price was very reasonable as well. The staff were amazing and were very nice! Whoever gives this surgeon a bad review obviously expects better then excellent. I recommend Dr.Ross to absolutely anybody, because he truly was the best. If i could do it all over again i deff would do it again. If you have the chance to get Dr. Ross, take it.

I got my wisdom teeth removed by Doctor Ross. He is the sweetest doctor ever. Before the surgery he explained everything perfectly and was VERY honest. I was very nervous about getting my wisdom teeth out and his wonderful sense of humor made me a lot less nervous. I would reccomend him to anyone. Also, he gives great needles! Can't even feel them. His staff is also just as nice and wonderful! :)

I was really satisfied with the procedure Dr.Ross did. He was very iformative and kind.His staff was great as well.I was nervous,but after talking and meeting with Dr.Ross I was quite at ease. The waiting time for my appointment was about an hour,which I didn't mind waiting. Some of the work he does on some patients takes a little longer than others. I would strongly recommend Dr.Ian Ross to anyone.

The invention relates to air conditioning systems in general and to air-purifying systems in particular.
Conventional air-purifying systems are usually provided with a pack of filters to absorb dust particles, gases injurious to health, and other impurities in the air. Usually, such arrangements are turned on manually, for example if the air in a room becomes unacceptably stuffy or if, in a garage or a factory, the air becomes significantly mixed with noxious gases or other impurities that are disagreeable or injurious to health.
Air-purifying systems which must be turned on and off manually are of little use if, for whatever reason, the occupant of the room provided with the air-purifying system fails to turn the system on. Moreover, in situations where the development of high concentrations of impurities sometimes occurs, for instance in garages and factories, the provision of the known air-purifying systems is of only limited benefit, and in some ways almost amounts to a danger; this is because an air-purifying system may have an air-purifying capability far below what is required to counteract the prevailing concentration of impurities, thereby giving the occupants of the room a false sense of security. This danger is particularly present, of course, when the impurities in question are odorless and invisible, for instance carbon monoxide. Even when the impurities are detectable by the occupants of a room, such detectability is largely without meaning if the occupants are asleep. Finally, as an additional disadvantage of the known air-purifying systems, in the event the concentration of impurities in the room being conditioned exceeds the purifying capability of the system, not only is the occupant of the room unaware of this; in addition, the motion imparted to the air in the room by the purifying system may well be such as to increase the concentration of dangerous impurities of the air of the room. For example, if dangerous impurities are entering a closed room through small leakage openings, the movement of air in the room established by the air-purifying system could well be such as to positively draw the impurities out of the small leakage openings at a rate significantly higher than would occur if the air-purifying system were not creating such a movement of air.
Additionally, it happens that the constructions of known air-purifying systems are in general rather complicated and expensive, particularly because they usually include a large number of costly mechanical parts. Also, the known air-purifying systems are sometimes unreliable in their operation.
It is a general object of the present invention to overcome the aforediscussed disadvantages of the prior-art air-purifying systems.
It is a particular object of the invention to provide a novel air-purifying system overcoming such disadvantages.
It is a specific object of the invention to provide an air-purifying system which overcomes the danger of the development of concentration of impurities greater than the corrective capability of the system, unbeknownst to the occupants of the room in which the system is provided.
It is another object of the invention to provide an air-purifying system whose operation is dependent upon the actual condition of the air in the room provided with the system.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an air-purifying system having a control arrangement comprised mainly of electronic and electrical components, and particularly semiconductor components, in order to increase the durability and reliability of the system as a whole, and in order to facilitate miniaturization of the control arrangement.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a control arrangement for the air-purifying system which is not possessed of certain disadvantages inherent in prior-art air-purifying systems.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the exterior of one air-purifying system according to the invention as seen from the front;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the system shown in FIG. 1, but as seen from the rear;
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a portion of the interior contents of the system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; and
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a control arrangement for the system shown in FIGS. 1-3.
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate an exemplary air-purifying system according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 2 designates an inlet into which air to be purified is drawn. Reference numeral 3 designates a body of reducing-gas-absorbing material. Reference numeral 4 designates the front of the exterior of the illustrated air-purifying system and is the portion from which the purified air emerges after undergoing purification.
Numeral 5 is a sensor device which is capable of detecting the concentration of reducing gases or other harmful gases in the air in the room in which the air-purifying system is located. The sensor unit 5 is connected to an electronic control circuit 6 which controls the operation of a motor 7 and also the operation of a warning device 8. This can be clearly seen in FIG. 3. The control circuit 6 is connected to a suitable power source by means of a plug 24.
The motor 7 is mounted on a support plate 10 by means of screw 9, and furthermore secured to a panel 13 by means of screws 12.
The motor 7 has an output shaft upon which is mounted a fan 14. The fan 14 rotates within an air guide 15. The absorbing agent is held in a container 16, and the container is mounted in a support member 17, with a further air guide member 18 being secured to the rear part of support member 17.
Palladium, manganese catalyst, active terra alba or active carbon are preferable for use as the absorbing agent; however, other known purifying substances can also be employed.
The end cover 18 (visible both in FIGS. 1 and 3) is removably mounted, thereby facilitating replacement of the absorbing agent 3a and its container 16.
The cover portion 18 is provided with a net 19 to prevent the passage of large particles into the air-flow path of the air-purifying system. Alternatively, this net can be furnished within the container 16, and it is also advantageous to provide a plurality of nets, of successively finer mesh.
When the fan 14 rotates, air and impurities are drawn into the airflow passage of the system, entering via the annular end portion 18. Any large dust particles or otherlarge particles are caught by the net 19. Harmful gases are absorbed by the absorbing agent 3. Accordingly, the air emerging from the front end 4, via hole 20 in front panel 13, will have been purified.
Numeral 21 (see FIG. 4) designates a manual mode-selection switch capable of setting the air-purifying system either for automatic or else for simple continuous operation. By setting the switch 21 to one side to open it beforehand, the fan motor 7 will be automatically turned by a signal issued from the sensor device 5 when the concentration of reducing gases in the air within the room increases. By setting the switch 21 to the other side to close it, the fan motor simply continues to turn independently of the sensor device 5.
Numeral 22 designates a dial for adjusting the sensitivity of the sensing arrangement 5. Turning of the dial 22 effects adjustment of a variable resistor 23 (FIG. 4), making it possible to set the air-purifying system 1 and the warning arrangement 8 to different threshold values.
After the power plug 24 is plugged into a source of power, and the switch 21 is set to automatic mode, the dial 22 is turned, when the air in the room is substantially free of impurities, in the clockwise direction a predetermined amount, so that the motor 7 commences to turn and so that the air-purifying system will commence to operate. This means a condition in which the impurities in the air has exceeded a predetermined limit. The dial is thereafter turned a small distance in the opposite direction, until the motor 7 is caused to stop; with the air-purifying system set in this manner if the detected concentration of impurities rises above the thusly established limit, the air-conditioning system 1 will automatically begin to operate, and if despite the operation of the air-conditioning system the concentration of impurities continues to rise, the warning device 8 will issue a warning signal.
With reference to FIG. 4, it is noted that numeral 25 designates a power-indicating lamp, connected across the power input and becoming illuminated when the system is connected to power. Numeral 26 designates a motor-operation indicator lamp, connected in parallel with the motor 7, and becoming illuminated with the motor is energized.
The explanation of the control 6 shown in FIG. 4 is as follows:
Numeral 5 is a gas sensing arrangement comprised of a metal oxide semiconductor element (for example a Taguchi Gas Sensor made by Figaro Tec. Inc.), the conductivity of which increases when the sensor absorbs smoke or reducing gases. Numeral 8 designates an acoustical warning device capable of generating a warning signal. Numeral 7 designates, as before, the motor for the fan 14. Numeral 27 is a controllable electronic switch element such as a triac or any other suitable electronic switch element. Numeral 28 designates an ignition circuit for the switch element 27, and is comprised of a resistor 29, a capacitor 30 and a diac 31, which is a constant voltage discharging element. Numeral 32 designates a transformer which slightly heats the gas sensing member 5 and furnishes a suitable voltage to the heater coil 33 as one electrode of the gas sensing member 5. Numeral 23 designates a variable resistor, and numeral 34 designates a protective resistor. Numeral 21 is the mode selection switch mentioned earlier.
The gas-sensing member 5 and one terminal of the warning device 8 are connected in series to form a warning circuit.* The motor 7 and one terminal of the switch element 27 are connected in series to form a circuit path for the motor current.
The resistor 29 of the ignition circuit 28 and the capacitor 30 are connected in series between both terminals of the warning device 8, and the diac 31 is connected between the junction of capacitor 30 and resistor 29 and the gate of triac 27. Numeral 37 designates a gas-responsive material in the gas-sensing arrangement 5, and numeral 38 designates a phase-adjustment capacitor.
The illustrated arrangement operates in the following manner:
When the device is set for automatic operation, the switch 21 is in its illlustrated open position. If the air in contact with the gas-sensing material 37 of the sensor 5 has a low concentration of impurities, the material 37 will be of high resistance, and both the motor 7 and the warning device 8 will be non-operative. When reducing gas or smoke comes into contact with the gas sensing arrangement 5, and as the impurities in the air within the room increase, the resistance of the gas-sensing material in the arrangement 5 decreases, and the voltage applied to the warning device 8 increases. Accordingly, the voltage applied to capacitor 30 likewise increases. When the voltage across capacitor 30 reaches the voltage breakdown value of the diac 31, the diac breaks down, and the capacitor 31 is rapidly discharged to thereby produce a gating pulse for triac 27. The triac 27 becomes conductive for the duration of this gating pulse, thereby permitting the flow of a current pulse through the current path of the motor 7. In this way, the motor 7 begins to turn the fan 14. The power supply is A.C., and as will be understood by persons skilled in the art, the gating of switch element 27 will be periodic, so that motor 7 will be furnished with periodic energizing pulses.
If the concentration of impurities in the air rises further, the voltage applied to the warning device 8 increases up to a predetermined level, in response to which a warning signal is issued. Conversely, if the concentration of impurities in the air decreases, the resistance of the gas sensing arrangement 5 increases, and the voltage applied to warning device 8 decreases, so that the warning signal ends. If this concentration of impurities in the air decreases still further, the level of the voltage applied to capacitor 30 will not reach a peak magnitude sufficient to gate triac 27, and accordingly motor 7 will not be furnished with energizing pulses.
In the non-automatic mode-selection switch 27 is closed, thereby providing a current path for the motor independently of the concentration of impurities in the air within the room.
As a further possibility according to the invention, the coil of a relay could be connected in parallel with the warning device 8, with the relay-switch of the relay being connected in series with the fan motor 7, so that the switch may be opened when the relay coil is energized in case the device has been set in a mode of manual operation. By means of such a modification of the control circuit, the fan motor 7 can be stopped simultaneously with the issuance of a warning signal by the warning device 8.
The illustrated arrangement can operate in two different ways:
1. The device is ordinarily inoperative, i.e., motor 7 is normally unenergized. However, if the concentration of reducing gases or impurities in the air within the room rises above a predetermined level, the motor 7 becomes energized. If the concentration of impurities rises still further, the warning device 8 issues a warning signal.
2. The device is normally operative, and when the concentration of impurities in the air exceeds a predetermined level, the warning device issues a warning signal, and the fan motor 7 either is automatically de-energized at this time, or else continues to operate.
In either case, the warning signal is issued to direct the occupants of the room to open one or more windows or to turn a ventilating fan. As a result, it is possible to prevent dangerous increases of the concentration of impurities in the air within a room. Even if the occupants of the room are asleep, they will be wakened by the warning signal.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of circuits and constructions differing from the types described above.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in an automatic air-purifying system, it is not to be considered limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit or concept of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can by applying current knowledge readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that from the standpoint of prior art fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention and, therefore, such modifications and adaptations should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalence of the following claims.

This invention relates to a control device of a teletypewriter to be used by invalids, which comprises at least one control member, a synoptical board and at least one electronic part, said synoptical board comprising at least one line or column, where all the vowels are grouped, and said electronic part being made in such a way that the sign which is printed corresponds, for certain boxes of the board at least, to the combination of the consonant in the chosen box with the vowels in the same column or line of the line or column in which the vowels are grouped.
1. In a control device of a teletypewriter to be used by invalids, comprising a synoptical board characterized by a plurality of vowels and consonants thereon arranged in lines and columns, at least one control member for selecting and causing the visible indication of a selected said character on said board, and an electronic part for causing a print-out corresponding to a said selected character; the improvement in which said synoptical board comprises as least one line or column in which all the vowels are grouped without the consonants, there being at least one other line or column on the synoptical board in which a plurality of consonants are grouped without the vowels, said electronic part being characterized by causing the print-out of a said vowel in combination with a said consonant upon selection of a said consonant that lies in a column or line perpendicular to said line or column of vowels and in register with said vowel in the last-mentioned line.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which the consonants and vowels are displayed in boxes arranged in said lines and columns, there being a plurality of the same vowel appearing in plural said boxes in said line or column of vowels.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, there being the same said vowel in two adjacent said boxes in said line or column of vowels, different consonants being displayed in the two columns or lines perpendicular to said line or column of said vowels and in which said two boxes are also disposed.
4. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said characters are displayed in boxes arranged in said lines and columns, there being diphthongs in certain of said boxes.
The present invention has for its object a control device for a teletypewriter to be used by invalids.
There are numerous devices of this kind, particularly those permitting the control of typewriters by means of only one interruptor, push-button, sound detector or breath detector. The drawback of these devices is the fact that the invalid or the patient or the handicapped person using this machine has to learn a special control code, for example the Morse code. The patient is thus not in a position to use immediately this communicating means. Another drawback of these devices is the slowness of the typing, each letter being the object of a code which has then to be typed separately and successively.
In order to obviate to these drawbacks, a control device of a typewriter has been developed which comprises a synoptic board presenting one block for each sign, letter or cipher to be printed. By means of one or two interruptors or control members, the patient may choose an abscissa or an ordinate, that is a column and a line of the board, then give the order to print the sign, letter or cipher corresponding to the intersection of said line with said column.
FIG. 1 is a block scheme of such a control device, which comprises a printing machine to be controlled 1, a synoptic board 2 as well as an electronic part, this electronic part comprises a logical block 3 and column registers 5, as well as line registers 4, constituting a first plate A, a decoding device constituting a second plate B, as well as line amplifiers 6 and columns amplifiers 7, and logical circuits AND 8 and OR 9 constituting a third plate C.
An input p is provided for controlling the program and two controlling inputs C1 and C2 permitting the user to control the printing machine 1. This printing machine 1 may also be controlled through another keyboard K or by auxiliary means aux.
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the synoptic board 2.
Two working modes of this known device are possible.
First mode
Phase 1: The control interruptor C1 is manipulated until a spot of light is displaced horizontally in the desired column.
Phase 2: The interruptor C1 is relaxed and the phase 2 is automatically accomplished, that means that the spot of light is displaced vertically.
Phase 3: One gives an impulse to the control interruptor C1 to realize the chosen function and the spot of light reaches the chosen block.
the cycle may then start again.
Second mode
Phase 1: The interruptor C1 is manipulated until the desired block is reached (horizontal displacement)
Phase 2: An interruptor C2 is manipulated until the desired block is reached (vertical displacement)
Phase 3: The interruptor C1 is again manipulated to realize the desired function.
With such a control device the patient has no need to learn a code; however the speed of execution is very slow, of the order of 20 to 50 letters, ciphers or signs per minute which is insufficient. This is the more insufficient since the invalids or handicapped persons become relatively rapidly tired.
The known systems referred to above are available commercially as "Possum" typewriter control systems of Possum Controls Ltd., 63, Mandeville Road, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, and are described in greater detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,241,115 and 3,693,184, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention has for its object a control device for a teletypewriter to be used by invalids which permits a much greater printing speed. This control device comprises, as in the device which has just been described, one or more control members, a synoptic board and an electronic part; it distinguishes itself by the fact that the synoptic board comprises at least one line where all the vowels are grouped and by the fact that certain of these vowels at least are also present in more than one column or line, and by the fact that the electronic part is made in such a way that the sign which is printed corresponds, for certain blocks of the board at least, to the combination of the consonant being in the chosen block with the vowel being in the same column or line of the line or column provided for the vowels.
The attached drawings show schematically and by way of example one embodiment of the control device according to the invention.
FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of the synoptic board of the control device.
FIG. 4 is a block scheme of the control device.
This machine is able to produce for each printing cycle or control cycle several ciphers at a time. The principle of codage is similar to the previously described machine which is simple. The writing which is generated by this system is of phonetical nature. It is however important to note that the use of normal writing is also possible, the board may contain all the conventional signs. Means are also provided for the writing of ciphers, the zone in which these are provided being usable with only one zero block. For simple machines, it is possible to use a keyboard permitting the simultaneous typing of two letters.
As can be seen by comparing FIGS. 1 and 4, the structure of this control device is very analogous to that of the one described before, it is different in its conception which is based on the synoptic board 2', with its modification of the realization of the electronic part, particularly of the plate B'. These modifications are however evident to one skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
The synoptical board 2' has been specially worked out as a function of the utilization frequency of certain syllables or sounds, since the print obtained with this device is phonetical, in the language used. The arrangement of the board 2' may vary as a function of the language used.
The synoptical board is divided into several zones having different functions. The first line at the top and the two lines at the bottom of the board as well as the two columns at the right of the board are provided to permit the writing of letters and ciphers alone. Thus when the user chooses, with the aid of control members C1, C2, a block which is part of these lines or columns, one prints the letter or the sign shown in the chosen box. This hatched zone of the board functions thus in principle as the synoptic board shown in FIG. 2 except for the second line from the bottom, which, with the exception of the two last boxes, permits printing the print sounds AU, EU, IN, OU, ON for example. Therefore it is necessary that the electronic part of the control device, when one of these boxes is chosen, gives the order to the printing machine to print two letters successively in order to make the desired sound.
The remainder of the synoptic board is original, as well as the electronic part which corresponds to the boxes of this part of the board. In fact, when one box of the board is chosen, in the non-hatched zone of it, orders are given to the printing machine to print the combination of the sign in the box chosen with the vowel in the line at the bottom of the board. One prints thus in only one control cycle at least two letters, a vowel and a consonant constituting a sound. By means of these sounds it is possible to write phonetically which permits a much quicker execution, not only through the reduction of the number of control cycles for the printing of a given number of letters (one prints at least two letters in each cycle) but further due to the use of a phonetical writing which is not an orthographical writing.
Tests have shown that by means of such a control device it was possible to print 120 to 180 signs per minute, which is at least three times more than with the orthographical systems now known.
As one uses many more consonants than vowels, the lower line of the board comprises pairs of boxes presenting the same vowels and the consonants are distributed in two columns corresponding to a same vowel, and this is repeated for each vowel. Therefore it is possible to create all the sounds relative to each vowel.
Thus the synoptical board and the electronic part which is therewith associated enables, by using the hatched zone, to write signs, letters or ciphers per se and thus to permit an orthographical writing; but enables also using the non hatched zone, to write phonetically with a greater speed.
The principle of the typing used in this control device is based on the fact that each box of the synoptical board, or certain boxes of it at least, causes the printing of several characters, (from one to four). The choice of the kind, the number and the order of the printing of these characters is determined by the coding circuit.
After the emission of the first character, electronic circuits wait for a clear-off signal of the printing machine. Then the printing of the next character is controlled automatically and so on until the last character of the given combination corresponding to the chosen box in the synoptical board is printed. When the last character of this combination is printed the electronic circuit comes back into rest position and a new control cycle is possible.
This control device has the same phases of working as the simple orthographic device described before. However one may provide that if the third phase of operation is maintained or repeated one obtains automatically a spacing or a return to line eventually followed by other line returns.

LONDON - Solicitor Christopher McQuoid and his father-in-law James William Melbourne are the first recipients of insider trading criminal convictions and prison sentences as a result of the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA)'s tougher approach to market abuse. Both were given eight-month sentences, McQuoid's starting immediately and Melbourne's suspended for 12 months.
Both men were found guilty of insider trading at Southwark crown court. Jurors decided that McQuoid had passed inside information to his relative who had then traded, using the information for profit. The regulator had previously obtained a court order freezing the £50,000 profit made from the trades and split equally between the two criminals.
"This was the first of the FSA's prosecutions and the first to get through the rigours of a contested trial," says Tony Woodcock, partner at law firm Stephenson Harwood in London. "The FSA will regard the verdict as a vindication of its 'credible deterrence' strategy and it will, no doubt, encourage the FSA to continue down its path of bringing criminal prosecutions. However, although it shows that the current law can get results, the offence itself remains a tough one to prosecute. As the acquittal of Euan Carlisle in the Belgo case shows, the success of the FSA's other criminal prosecutions is by no means a done deal."
McQuoid was general counsel at communications firm TTP between August 2000 and March 2007. In May 2006, he was told in confidence that Motorola was planning to take over the company. Two days before the takeover was made public, Melbourne bought 153,824 TTP shares at a price of £0.13 per share - the first time he had ever bought TTP shares. On June 1, the Motorola deal was announced at an agreed share price of £0.45. Melbourne pocketed a profit of £48,919.20, which three months he later split with his son-in-law.
In a new FSA insider trading case, the regulator announced on March 31 that police had arrested two people as part of its investigation into an organised insider dealing ring. Search warrants were also executed by the FSA at a number of London addresses. The operations were conducted by 25 FSA staff, assisted by 11 officers from the City of London Police.

Mischa Barton Has A Sober Coach
Well, she definitely needs it.
Producers on Mischa Barton's new TV show The Beautiful Life have hired a sober coach to stay with the hard-partying actress following last month's involuntary psychiatric hold at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
A source reveals, "Mischa is doing great since she returned to work, but after a chat with show bosses she agreed she would appreciate some extra support."
When she was released, Mischa was not assigned any sort of sober companion, but that quickly changed after she was spotted partying at the All Points West music festival in New York a few days after her hospital release.
Family friend Eric Ziegenbein dished, "It's scary to see her out right after she's received treatment. When I found out she'd been partying again, I was shocked. I thought she would chill out for a bit. The fact she was out right away proves she's not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big 'f**k you.' She's too proud and independent sometimes."
Hopefully Mischa gets the help she needs while focusing on her new TV show.

Reasons to Be Pretty by Neil LaBute
directed by Randall Arney
Greg, Kent and Carly work in a warehouse; Steph is a hairdresser all in their 30's they are trying to come to terms with life in their dead-end jobs. There are hook-ups and breakups and struggles to keep friendship alive, but this play is mostly about the power of language and listening.
Greg, 30s – he works as a stocker in the night shift of a big-box warehouse. Steph has been his girlfriend for 4 years now until he carelessly describes the way she looks in not so flattering terms and when word gets back to her the fireworks begin. He is an ordinary, decent, sweet man with a compelling sense of humor. He plays right field in the company baseball team. He always has a book in his pocket – Swift, Hawthorne, Washington Irving, but he does not have the drive that would promise a bright future. He, however, does stand up for himself and his friends and has a sense of justice that we admire.
Steph, 30s – at the beginning of the play, she is angry, vicious. She has been hurt and has the ability to retaliate with some of LaBute's strongest and most colorful language. She is at once both strong and fragile. A hairdresser, she is concerned with what the future holds. She wants what every girl wants: a loyal husband and financial security. We root for Greg and Steph's relationship to survive.
Carly, 30s- By all accounts, Carly is pretty. She works as a security guard in the warehouse, a job she got because she was pretty, not because she has an aptitude for it. She's afraid that her life will always be defined by the way she looks. She is married to Kent and the stakes go up when she finds out she's pregnant. She is sincere and honest and tries to be a good friend.
Kent, 30s – more athletic than Greg, macho, childish, he has a locker-room mentality with a roving eye. He's a hothead. He has the kind of looks that make everything come easily to him – he got the prettiest girl and yet, he's jealous. He can be a good friend as long as things don't get too serious or complicated. He has limited skills and he knows it. He works in the warehouse and captains the baseball team. He is the one who does not seem to struggle with the way he expresses himself.

main index
"Several times throughout the existing episodes they hint that a romantic subplot is going to occur between Thomas and Winnie, and...I just can't support it. Sticking the best character in the series and the worst character in the series together is a terrible idea."The opposite of Shipping Goggles, where no matter how powerful the evidence or prevalent the Ship Tease is, someone insists that there is no way a particular couple could ever be canon. It might be because they have laser-focused shipping goggles for a particular ship that conflicts with the indicated one. It might be because the relationship is slash/yaoi/yuri and they refuse to accept even the possibility that there's intentional Ho Yay there. Maybe the relationship is heterosexual, and they think Het Is Ew. Maybe the plot, canon, and even the author endorse one pairing, but they totally realize that the characters are Meant To Be with someone else, characterization and previous behavior be damned. Point is, they're not seeing something others do in the shipping arena. Compare No Hugging, No Kissing.

Is there anyplace like Russ & Daughters in Boston?
- David Kahn Oct 8, 2012 07:18 AM
For those who are unfamiliar, Russ & Daughters is a shop in Manhattan that, among other things, makes phenomenally good lox, cream cheese, and bagel sandwiches. A couple of years ago, on a visit, I had a toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and hand-sliced Nova lox, and that damn sandwich is currently haunting my dreams. Anyplace in greater Boston where I can hope to replicate the experience, or do I need to get on the train south?
No. You might try Bazaar International Gourmet on Beacon Street in Brookline: http://www.bazaarboston.com/?mode=men...
As far as great lox & bagel that meets your expectations, Lendy's Deli in Saugus is very good, probably the best I've had like a real NYC delicatessen. http://www.lendysdeli.com/
re: latertater
The Allston location of Bazaar also has a remarkable selection of preserved fish. I always get kind of paralyzed when I look at that section because I just don't know where to begin.
In short, no. R&D does deliver, it just costs a lot. I am partial to Barry's Village Deli in Waban if you are looking for the experience and some good Deli food (fresh bagels, but not made in house, both nova and belly lox). If I were trying to make the best bagel and lox possible in Boston, I would order delivery from R&D and get fresh bagels (whatever is warm) from Katz's in Chelsea.
re: ScotchandSirloin
Agree completely.
No real substitute for R & D in Boston. I'm a 30+ year Boston reident by way of NY and really dislike the BOS/NY comparisons but we simply don't have that kind of store. Even NY only has a few. Barry's is my "go to" in BOS but I've heard good things a bout the place mentioned in Saugus and a place in Swampscott..Evanss? I do shop at Bazaar also.
eta..Michaels, which is named later in the thread is also on my list...1 of my favorite for corned beef.
There was a store on Harvard St,, Brookline that trucked in smoked fish from R & D but they closed a few years ago.
re: ScotchandSirloin
Did not know that something in Boston with a real fish platter other than lox even existed in the Boston area. Definitely going to give Barry's a try. Thanks!
re: Gabatta
I'm in Philly and recently ordered from R&D. It is so worth the cost of shipping to have their lox, ( we got two types), their whitefish salad is mixed with baked salmon and is outstanding. We also got bagels and babka. Nothing comes close here in Philly.
You might try Michael's Deli in Coolidge Corner. He gets his corned beef from New York and possibly the bagels too. Great deli sandwiches IMHO the best of the Brookline area.
I usually just grab some Pence&Co.Nova and an Iggy's bagel from Whole Foods....Not even close to R&D, but not bad.
re: phatchris
Good summation.
I doubt I need to mention this to you; Chris;cuz you already know but for new readers; Spence sells a few grades. You want to buy most heavily smoked....if you enjoy stronger flavors..as I do.
Spence make a good product but they offer a mild smoked in addition to the good stuff.
re: 9lives
I agree - my favorite is their Traditional Scottish Style, which seems to be the smokiest.
re: mwk
ok, ok, every one has told the truth and there is nothing that will compare (though even the bagels in NY have become problematic). You can, however, get good stuff. The Butcherie carries a variety of handcut lox, as well as good quality Scottish smoked salmon, sable, white fish salad, kippered salmon, etc. Both Spence and Duck Trap make good to very good packaged smoked salmon. As to bagels, Iggy's are tasty though more like Montreal than Brooklyn bagels, and Breughers are tolerable. If you are ever in Great Barrington, go to the Great Barrington Bagel Company, across from Guido's market, where you will find the closest thing to an old-style NY bagel. Also, the Russian markets such as Bazaar and Baza carry quite a range of herring and smoked fish, as well as excellent salmon roe caviar (Peter Pan brand is generally reliable).
re: teezeetoo
The Blue Hill Bay brand of smoked salmon sold by Costco (made by Acme Smoked Fish in Brooklyn) is very good stuff, although the best hand-sliced Nova in New York--at Zabar's, Russ & Daughters, or Fairway--is probably a bit better. As for bagels, Bruegger's and Katz's in Chelsea make pretty good bagels; I agree that Iggy's bagels are good but definitely not New York-style.
re: owades
Acme supplies most of the NY appetizing stores; as well as Boston and other citiies. ..and Costco.
An Acme,smoked whitefish salad (ex) is the same product; whether in NYC or dozens of otther locations.
Where R & D shines is that they can sell dozens of their products..smoked whitefish, Alaskan black cod/aka sable, 10+ different salmon, 6+ herring. You get the point..:)
NY simply has the population that can support a speiallty store like that. Very few other places do.
re: 9lives
it's also because "appetizing" is a NY thing. I remember growing up in Queens when Sunday morning came along, I'd go with my dad to the local bagel shop where they'd all be hot out of the oven. Each of us would get a salt bagel along with a bagful for taking home and munch on that while we went to Waldbaum's and visited the "Appetizing" department at the deli and picked up the lox, whitefish, etc. for brunch. Even when I lived briefly in Hartford, the supermarket in West Hartford had an "appetizing" department. Once you cross over into MA however, that disappears.
Of course now that I've been away from NY for so long, I don't think the supermarkets there even have that department any more.
re: mwk
I think we're trying to say the same thing; with a change in the wording. The fact that I used the term "appetiziing store" and you knew what I meant indicates to me that we come frome similar backgrounds and share similar good memoriies of Dad's taking us for bagels and appeting stores on a weekend AM.
Sadly, most of these stores no longer exist; and fewere outside NY
The old classics like Canter's in LA or Wolfie's and Rascal House in Miami have either gone downhil, corporate or just closed down. Have heard good things about Zingerman's in Ann Arbor but never been.
Barry's in Waban still comes closest to what I grew up with but I'm open minded enough to try other suggesstions..just given up on duplicating R & D or even the avg appetizing store of my youth.
re: teezeetoo
I know Iggy's claims its bagel is modeled on Montreal style, but I don't think it's anything at all like Montreal bagels, which are sweeter, crumblier and flimsier than Iggy's. Both, IMHO, are overrated. Montreal bagels are insubstantial compared to a top quality NYC bagel (admittedly hard to find today, even in NYC). Iggy's bagels are nearly the opposite: too tough and chewy. All I see in common in their smallish size (which is preferable to those giant puffy monster bagels that currently abound). If you can get to Rosenfeld's or Katz's, great; otherwise I find underappreciated Bruegger's as close to a decent NYC bagel as can readily be found around Boston.
re: katzzz
i do agree with you, katzzz and forgot to mention Rosenfeld's which is my favorite (Katz's is not near me) - I do think Brueggers (well-baked and you have to ask or look) is closer to the small old-fashioned nyc bagel of my childhood than most of the bakery versions, other than Rosenfelds. If you are ever in the Berkshires, definitely go to Marvin's Great Barrington Bagel Company - these are the closest to childhood bagels that it gets for me. In truth, I can't find good bagels easily in NY (never was a fan of H & H) and even Kosar's bialis have gone down hill! Oy!
re: teezeetoo
Another vote here for Rosenfeld's. If someone does not know where they are, good luck finding them in Newton Center.
If you go to the Iggy's factory store in North Cambridge early on the weekends, they have a limited number of salmon bagels with cream cheese, onion, tomato, chives and capers. My wife and I split one every weekend.
re: pamlet
I hear Wegman's is supposed to be great, but my guess is that a Waldbaum's would be required for smoked gold.
Not even possible. R & D is the best NYC has to offer. No way Boston comes close to that. I am trying to find someplace in Boston that sells a fish platter that has something on it other than just lox and white fish SALAD.
But, I do acknowledge that the whole white fish from Costco, which someone mentions comes from Acme in Brooklyn, is MIGHTY good.
re: madprof
Barry's normally has at least 2 kinds of Lox, Whitefish Salad, Whitefish (not salad), Kippered Salmon and Sable.
re: ScotchandSirloin
The terms lox and smoked salmon are often usedd interchangeably. Lox/lachs/gravlax, etc are brined or cured with salt and not smoked. Gavlax is fairly easy to mak and their are recipes all over the web.
Smoked salmon is cured burt also smoked..labelled by the region that it comes from..commonly Nova That's why R & D offers so many varieties.
I'm referring to "cold smoked" which is what we generally think of on he East Coast. A lot of Alaskan/PNW is hot smoked..which can easily be done at home with a wet cedar plank over a low fire. Make sure your cedar plank is not treated; as is often done when it's being sold for home building.
re: 9lives
if you can get Asia Flavors of Jean-Georges, there is a good recipe for Gravilax though there are plenty of other good ones on the web.
re: ScotchandSirloin
So does The Butcherie, though the traditional small whitefish appear to have been in short supply most everywhere of late.
You can take your chances at the Baza supermarket(s), but, their quality seems a bit spotty to me. Good selection, though, so you might stumble onto something you like.
Perhaps the point has already been made.
R&D and Barney Greengrass in NYC ship. I am a Barney's guy, but I respect Russ and Daughters.
I have had good smoked fish from Rachael's (formerly Axler's) in Springfield. If you buy one of their pre-selected packages, prices are pretty reasonable. (springfieldsmokedfish.com). I have also stopped by their facility -- it is like stepping into the past.
re: cambridgedoctpr
"The Upper West Side is quite the place for good eating." True, True... I went to high school with Sandy Zabar and Roger Klein (the Klein family is actually the hands on managers of Zabar's.)
re: cambridgedoctpr
BT's in Sturbridge?
re: cambridgedoctpr
Good to know. We have to make a trip out there -- next scheduled driveby is Labor Day, but they aren't open on Mondays :(
