Get A $40 Government Coupon Towards Converting Your Old TV To Digital
Original post made by Angela Hey, Mountain View Voice Blogger, on Dec 2, 2008
Judging by the number of people I've seen hauling big screen TVs out of Best Buy, Fry's and other retailers maybe everyone in Mountain View already has a digital TV. If you don't have a new high definition digital TV (HDTV) then you can buy a converter box to plug into your old TV.
The government is helping out by giving each household up to two $40 coupons for converter boxes that you can buy from participating electronics stores, such as Best Buy or Wal-Mart. The coupons are plastic cards and are mailed to participating households.
To get one or two coupons go to www.DTV2009.gov (Web Link) or call 1-888-DTV-2009 or mail in an application form from the website.
Deaf or hard of hearing callers may dial 1-877-530-2634 (English/TTY) or 1-866-495-1161 (Spanish/TTY). TTY Service is available from 9 AM - 9 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday.
You have until the end of March 2009 to get your coupons - so don't forget.

My own experiences as a student athlete and coach at a Division III liberal arts college inspire my support of the quality education provided at Iowa Wesleyan.
Darrin VanBibber
The idea of conducting an Informational Interview was first introduced by Richard Nelson Bolles in his career handbook "What Color Is Your Parachute?" He describes the process as allowing you to "try on jobs to see how they fit you." Oftentimes, people choose a career path without sitting down and talking to individuals already in the profession. Conducting an informational interview will allow you to have a conversation with a practicing professional and ask them questions about their job. Informational interviews, however, do not have to be purely educational; you can also use them to make contacts and possibly uncover job openings.
Start with people you already have connections with including:
Most career professionals will advise you to begin the process by writing a letter or email of intrudction - check out a sample here. In the letter, indicate your interest in the individual's profession and organization as well as your desire to visit with him/her about it. You should also take the initiative in requesting to schedule an appointment; you should not expect the individual to take care of this for you.
Send a thank you note immediately after the informational interview; email and regular mail are both acceptable methods. You should also keep a record of your interviews including name, title, address, date(s), and topic(s) of discussion. This will be helpful in remembering who told you what and how to get in touch with your contacts.

Stalled, sinking, on sale, and a suicide
What's going on at The World? As one island goes up for sale, Kipp takes time out for an update on one of Dubai's most prominent – and most troubled – projects.
August 2, 2010 4:50 by Sam Potter
The World is still here. Despite reports in some sectors of the press earlier this year that the huge Dubai project was slipping into the sea, the man made archipelago appears to be clinging on.
Situated just off the coast of Dubai, the world is a series of small man made islands in a rough shape of the landmasses of Earth. They were built by 31 million tons of rock and 321 million cubic metres of sand dredged from the shallow waters of the gulf, and according to the UK's Daily Mail in February this year, "the islands are rapidly merging together and also appear to be sinking."
The paper, citing images taken from space, also appeared obsessed with the lack of development on the infamous project.
Perhaps they will be more satisfied now. Since the "sinking" article, construction has begun on The World's first villas. The luxury holiday development can be found on Germany Island, reported Khaleej Times last month. It's the first part of the Heart of Europe project, which will comprise 20 villas across six islands.
"The start of construction on Germany Island is a defining moment, not only for the Kleindienst Group, but for all the government bodies of Dubai who have been facilitating the processes and procedures necessary to get this unique project off the ground," said Josef Kleindienst, Chief Executive of the Kleindienst Group, the developer of the Heart of Europe. "We are delighted to have reached this milestone in a project that has attracted worldwide attention since we launched The Heart of Europe last year."
The first villa is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. Also in the pipeline with Kleindienst is the Monte Carlo island, which will be a members only party and event venue. Annual membership fees will be in the region of AED 30,000, according to Gulf News, and you'd best own a boat if you want to get there.

Dye Dos:
1. Do choose the dye based on your natural complexion.
Darker-skinned or tanned ladies should turn to deeper, cooler shades while
fairer-skinned gals should experiment with coppery, caramel, and
blonde shades.
2. Do let your roots grow out a li'l bit. Touch-ups are only
needed every 3-6 months. Score!
Dye Don'ts:
1. Don't attempt to do-it-yourself at home. Achieve this look
professionally to avoid mishaps. This look requires a smooth transition line
between two different tones, and this may be difficult to do by yourself. Also,
if your hair is already dyed, it can be extremely difficult to achieve this
look at home.
2. Don't go too extreme! The ombré transition between two
shades should be natural and not leave your hair looking like it's two colors
split down the middle! Try a shade on your ends that are two to three shades
lighter than your natural hair color, like Leighton's.

My mother has been using this serum for as long as I can remember and she always has long soft hair despite her bleaching the hell out of it. If I was lucky, I got to have a few drops of this which I would just use to savor the scent of this, it smells like satin roses! I nicknamed this the "silky rose stuff". Fast forward many years later, I am now buying and using this for my own hair! I have long, thick, lightly colored, straight hair. I need a bit more slip, frizz control, softened, and shine to my hair and this does all of that! I buy the big bottles and they last forever. This is very concentrated and you don't need much. My mother has long but fine hair and her one bottle lasts for many YEARS. Be careful about traveling! They open and leak easily, I learned that the hard way. So tape it up. I also use this for protection from heat styling. I do prefer this on dry hair as a finisher especially for the ends. always get compliments on my hair.HG product!

Lol I used think I liked this so much when I was young but I think I just like the idea of it.
I have no had any decent results using this and have given it away both the last times I purchased and both those people still have it sitting around as well

Made my hair virtually frizz less but wasn't hydrating at all. I like the smell but it didn't add any shine to my hair at all. Will not be repurchasing.

I bought this product 2 months ago and I have been loving it!!!! It leaves my hair feeling soft and conditioned. I have wavy/straight hair. I can't leave the house just naturally air dried because it looks bad. It's frizzy and half wavy half straight. Since using this I can do that. I just to well dry my hair and add some of this product in and out the door I go. It controls my frizz and makes my hair very straight. I like how it's very light and doesn't weigh my hair down. Another thing I like is that a little bit of this goes a long way. One thing I don't like is the smell. It has a very strong smell but it fades after a few minuets.
Overall I really like this product and I would recommend buying it.

I like biosilk. I use it on towel dried hair. Then I blow dry and flat iron it. I feel like it helps my flat iron glide more easily through my hair. Hopefully it is giving it protection too.
It smells very nice.

Makes me dry, coarse hair feel soft and silky. A little bit goes a long way; I use less than a dime-doze for my armpit-length hair. It can get greasy and sticky if too much is applied. I apply to towel-dried hair, then blow out. My split ends feel softer and my hair has a lovely shine. It's a little pricy, but I find it at TJ Maxx often ($10 for the medium size).

I use this every day in my hair. I have really long hair and my hair is so soft after using this stuff. It isn't that expensive and I think it is a good alternative for the Maroccan Oil.

I bought this serum on a whim at winners it came in a kit with the wavy hair mist for 24.99 (for both ) great price considering one bottle at target is like 36 bucks lol .. But anyway I have a fetish for hair oils and serums haha it's my go to styling product after I get out of the shower so when I tried this I was really surprised ! It's better than the Moroccan Oil in my opinion !! Doesn't leave my hair sticky and when I let it air dry it dries silky and shiny ! I will keep on purchasing this product it's great and completely changed my hairs overall look and feel and also smells amazing !!!!

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
The Expression Settings drop-down menu is found in several of Painter's brush control palettes as we will see throughout this title. This setting is used to utilize a specific form of real-time input to dynamically control a brush stroke's behavior. For example, pressure is often used to dynamically control brush size. Lighter pressure results in smaller stroke and heavier pressure results in a lighter stroke. By constantly expressing pressure to adjust a brush's width in this case, the artist's expressive intent is communicated via the stroke.
So, we are going to take a look at how size controls a brush in this case and we will go to the Window menu, drop down to Brush Controls, and this time I will select the Size palette and we're going to examine how size specifically controls the Scratchboard tool in the Pens category. And if we look at Size, we will find that Expression, which is always the way you will discover where this is if it controls an aspect of a brush, will be located with the word Expression and then a drop -down menu and we can see that pressure is controlling this brush.
If I draw with this very lightly to a very hard pressure, I get a nice change from a very fine line to a slightly wider line. So this gives me a very nice thin to thick ratio when I draw with this pen using pressure from my Wacom tablet. Let's change it to something else like Random. What happens when I do that? Well, now pressure is not doing anything but the size of the pen is being randomly changed between its smallest and largest size as it's adjusted in the Size palette.
So I get a completely different character based on the expression. In this Random, just throws out various sizes of each dab as it goes and gives it a very different look than I get when it's set to Pressure, where I get precise control through my hand to adjust the thick to thinness of that pen stroke. So Expression is another control for specifying a particular expressive quality into a brush stroke.
When it's used in concert with a pen tablet, many dimensions of the artist's hand motion can be applied to a brush. We will be taking a look at Expression in greater detail throughout the media chapters of this title.

Posts tagged: 000 pounds
Controversial legislation to let extra-heavy trucks – up to 129,000 pounds – run by permit on state and local routes throughout Idaho is now law, but it's unlikely any new routes will be designated for the heavier trucks in North Idaho before the spring of next year. Idaho's state transportation board is starting a lengthy rule-making process to figure out how to handle requests for trucks exceeding the state's current 105,500-pound weight limit, including requests for segments of busy, winding U.S. Highway 95 through North Idaho. The new rules would be presented to lawmakers for approval in their 2014 legislative session.
"I think the primary thing is the way the roads are built in North Idaho: Can they handle the weight?" asked Jim Coleman, the Panhandle member of the state transportation board. "I think you have to evaluate them on a case-by-case basis."
The ITD's approach is drawing plaudits from the new law's opponents, who include North Idaho lawmakers, local government officials, highway districts and even loggers and truckers. Mill owners and agricultural producers, led by Coeur d'Alene-based Idaho Forest Group, proposed and backed the new law, saying hauling bigger loads will boost their efficiency and bottom lines in a big way – and also mean fewer trucks total on the roads. State Transportation Director Brian Ness said, "We can't rush something through and risk public safety. … We serve the taxpayers of Idaho, and we have an obligation to listen to them, get their input."

Berks County community remembers Sandy Hook victim
Updated On: Mar 04 2013 07:14:10 AM CST
A Berks Co. native returned to his hometown Sunday to attend a memorial for his daughter, one of the children killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting massacre.
Charlotte Bacon was killed along with 25 others on Dec. 14.
"She was a beautiful six-year-old," said her father, Joel Bacon. "She loved animals -- all kinds of animals."
This should have been Charlotte's birthday party.
"Last weekend, we celebrated Charlotte's seventh birthday," said her father.
Instead, Joel's classmates from Conrad Wesier High School organized a memorial for Charlotte at the middle school down the road. Instead of birthday candles, the Class of 1988 lit candles for Charlotte and the other Connecticut victims.
"Although your darling daughter was with you just a while, she'll live on in your heart and ours, with a sweet remembered smile," said Pam VanOstenbridge, a classmate who helped organize the event.
Classmate Chris Caltagirone read a poem.
"Your life was such a beacon, your energy divine," he said. "Your spirit will not leave us. Your spirit will live on."
For someone who has gone through a tragedy none of us could ever imagine, Joel Bacon is surprisingly collected. He said that's largely because of the support he got from people in Berks Co.
"The support from all of you here makes me proud that I have roots from this community," he told the crowd. "Even though I live in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, I can still call this town of Robesonia and the Conrad Weiser community home."
And amidst tears, a local pastor called for action.
"Every person who's ever shown me their gun collection has shown it to me opening a locked safe. Maybe someday that will be a given," said Rev. Wayne Heintzelman of St. Daniel's Lutheran Church in Robesonia. "Maybe someday we will keep better records and use them so that people who have mental health issues can't purchase guns."
Charlotte Bacon's parents started a group called "Charlotte Bacon's Acts of Kindness." More than a thousand children submitted their own acts of kindness to mark her birthday.

A venetian blind having a top position lock wherein a pull cord extends over and depends from a cord guide between the latter and a freely upwardly shiftable jam member which engages the depending pull cord. The pull cord urges the jam member downwardly away from the guide upon upward slat movement, and the pull cord urges the jam member upwardly into jammed engagement with the cord guide upon downward slat movement. Detent means holds the jam member downwardly except in the top slat position, so that jamming action only occurs with the slats fully raised.
1. A top position lock for a venetian blind including a head and a depending slat assembly, said top position lock comprising: a mounting structure in the head, a cord guide carried by the mounting structure, a jam member shiftably carried by the mounting structure for movement between a lower free position spaced below said guide and along a path obliquely upwardly toward said guide to an upper locking position proximate to said guide, a pull cord connected to said slat assembly for raising and lowering the latter upon respective downward and upward cord movement, said pull cord being trained over said guide and depending gravitationally between said guide and jam member in engagement with the latter, downward cord movement in engagement with said jam member urging the latter downwardly to its free position and upward cord movement in engagement with said jam member urging the jam member upward to jam said cord against said guide, detent means shiftably carried by said head extending across said jam member path in upward limiting engagement with said jam member to maintain the latter in its free position, and detent shifting means operative to shift said detent means out of said path to release said jam member for upward movement to jam said cord against said guide, said detent shifting means depending into the path of said slat assembly at its top position for release of said jam member to its upper position only when said slat assembly is fully raised.
2. A top position lock according to claim 1, said guide means comprising a generally horizontal roller, and said jam member comprising a generally horizontal pin having its axis generally parallel to that of said roller along its path of movement.
3. A top position lock according to claim 2, said pin having frictional surface for enhanced frictional engagement with said cord.
4. A top position lock according to claim 1, said detent means being freely swingably carried by said mounting structure for gravitational movement into limiting position over said jam member when the latter is in its free position.
5. A top position lock according to claim 4, said detent shifting means comprising an operating element depending from said detent means remote from said jam member for engagement with the slat assembly to swing said detent means against gravity out of said limiting position.
6. A top position lock according to claim 5, said detent means being swingable about a generally horizontal axis, and said jam member comprising a generally horizontal roller pin, said detent means being shiftable at least beyond the center of said pin for rolling engagement of the pin with said detent means.
7. A top position lock according to claim 1, said mounting structure comprising a channel, and said guide comprising a roll extending across and rotatably mounted in said channel, and said jam member comprising a pin extending across and axially rotatably and transversely slidably mounted in said channel.
As is well known to those versed in the venetian blind art, under certain circumstances it is desired to provide venetian blinds which may be locked upon elevation of the slat assembly to its uppermost position. By this means, apartment houses, office buildings and other similar large buildings are rendered more attractive from the outside, as the haphazard appearance of venetian blinds at a multitude of different slat settings or elevations is avoided.
However, prior art blind assemblies having automatic top position locking have been relatively complex in structure and consequently unreliable in operation, requiring considerable maintenance to assure satisfactory operability.
It is an important object of the present invention to provide a top position lock for a venetian blind, sometimes called a top lock structure, which is entirely automatic in operation, serving to automatically lock in its top position, and releasable by the conventional pull cord swinging manipulation, which structure is extremely simple in construction for economy in manufacture, ease of assembly, extreme reliability in operation throughout a long useful life, and which requires an absolute minimum of maintenance.
It is a more particular object of the present invention to provide a top lock structure for a venetian blind which greatly reduces the number of parts required, substantially simplifies the structure of required parts. By way of example, the instant invention completely obviates the need for a locking dog or any pivoted cord-locking mechanism whatever, as is required in the prior art device of U.S. Pat. No. 3,799,236.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view showing a venetian blind of the present invention with the slat assembly in a released, unlocked or lowered condition.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view, partly broken away and enlarged for clarity, showing the top position lock structure of the present invention, as located in the region "2" of FIG. 1, with the lock released, and a slightly different position being illustrated in phantom.
FIG. 3 is a sectional elevational view similar to FIG. 2, but showing the lock structure in a locked condition with the slats elevated to top position.
FIG. 4 is a sectional elevational view taken generally along the line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view showing the lock assembly of FIG. 4.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, and specifically to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a venetian blind of the present invention generally designated 10, including a laterally extending upper assembly or head 11, and depending therefrom a slat assembly 12, shown in its lowered position. Tilt actuating means 13 may assume the form of a rotary rod, or other suitable actuating means, as at 13, depending from the head 11 adjacent to one end thereof, say the left-hand end. Also depending from the head 11, say adjacent to the right-hand end, may be elevation or height control means 14, say in the form of a pull cord, which may conventionally include a pair of cord elements suitably secured together, as desired.
The slat assembly 12 is suspended from the head 11 by ladders 15, which may be string ladders as illustrated, or otherwise, and have their upper ends connected within and depending from the head 11. As thus far described, the venetian blind 10 may be essentially conventional.
However, within the head 11, as in the region 2, is a top position lock of the present invention for automatically locking the slat assembly 12 in its top or uppermost position, permitting of selective unlocking and lowering, while precluding locking in any position except the top position.
The top position lock structure is best seen in FIGS. 2-5, there being generally designated 20. The top lock mechanism 20 may include a mounting structure 21 mounted in a top rail or head channel 22. The mounting structure 21 is generally of U-shaped, channel-like configuration, as may be formed of sheet metal, and may include a pair of generally parallel, spaced front and rear walls 23 and 24 inclined upwardly and rearwardly as best seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. The upstanding front and rear walls 23 and 24 are connected together at their lower regions by spaced bottom wall portions 25 and 26 combining to define a bottom wall resting on the bottom of head channel 22. The bottom wall portions 25 and 26 are spaced apart to define therebetween an opening 27, for a purpose appearing presently, and a forwardly declining holding tab or extension 28 projects from the lower edge of front mounting structure wall 23 for engagement through a bottom opening in the head channel 22. The front mounting structure wall 23 is further formed in its upper region with a pair of laterally spaced, forwardly and upwardly extending holding tabs 29 and 30 for holding engagement with the head channel 22, as in an upper edge curl 31, see FIG. 4. The rear mounting structure wall 24 may be provided at its lower edge with a downwardly projecting holding tab or extension 32, see FIG. 4, for depending holding engagement through the bottom of head channel 22, so that the mounting structure is effectively maintained in position within the head 11 without the need for fastener elements, such as rivets, or the like.
Generally over the bottom wall opening 27 of the mounting structure 11, extending forwardly and rearwardly between the front and rear mounting structure walls 23 and 24, is a cord guide, roller or wheel 35, which may be generally cylindrical, having its axis extending generally perpendicular to and between front and rear mounting structure walls 23 and 24, being rotatably supported therebetween by a shaft, axle or rivet 36. The roller or rotatable guide 35 may be suitably fabricated, as of plastic, and is freely axially rotatably supported by the rivet or pin 36. In addition, the supporting rivet or pin 36 may structurally reinforce and rigidify the generally U-shaped mounting structure 21.
Formed in the front and rear mounting structure walls 23 and 24 are respective, parallel spaced, opposed, facing guideways or slots 37 and 38 which extend from a position at least partially below or under the roller or guide 35, on one side of the latter, the right-hand side as seen in the drawings, obliquely upwardly and rightwardly or outwardly, generally toward and approximately tangent to the roller guide. That is, the slots or guideways 37 and 38 extend, in their facing relation, from a position below the guide roll 35 adjacent to one side of the latter obliquely upwardly toward the guide roller 35 terminating proximate to and alongside of the latter.
A jam member, pin or cylindrical catch 40 may extend generally horizontally, forwardly and rearwardly through the opposed, facing pair of guideways or slots 37 and 38, being freely rotatable and shiftable along the slots. That is, the cylindrical jam member or pin 40 has its axis generally parallel to the axis of guide roller 35 and is shiftable from a lowermost position in slots 37 and 38, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, obliquely upwardly toward and generally along a tangent to the guide roller 35, say to the position shown in FIG. 3. Enlarged forward and rearward heads or ends 41 and 42 may be provided on respective opposite ends of jam member or pin 40, respectively outwardly of the front and rear mounting structure walls 23 and 24, to retain the jam member in position within the slots 37 and 38 extending between the mounting structure walls, while permitting free axial rotation and translation of the jam member along the slots. Advantageously, the jam member 40 may be circumferentially roughened or knurled, such as by serrations 43, best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The pull cord 14 extends from the slat assembly 12, laterally within the head 11, outwardly over the guide roller 35, as at 45, being trained outwardly over and downwardly along the outer side of the guide roller, as at 46, whence the pull cord depends between the guide roller and the jam member 40, as at 47. It will best be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, that the flexible elongate pull cord 14, at its region 47 passes inwardly of, over and in engagement with the serrated or frictional surface 43 of freely shiftable jam member 40. Thence, the pull cord 14 depends freely in front of the slat assembly 12, to its free end.
A detent or latching mechanism is generally designated 50, and includes a freely rotatably shiftable or swingable, generally U-shaped detent member 51 located at an elevation above and overlapping the upper regions of slots 37 and 38. More specifically, the detent member 51 has its upper end freely pivotally supported, as by a rivet or pin 52 extending generally forwardly and rearwardly between mounting structure walls 23 and 24 at a location over or generally above the upper ends of slots 37 and 38. The pin 52 may be generally parallel to the axes of guide roll 35 and jam member 40. The generally U-shaped detent 51 has parallel, spaced front and rear side walls 53 and 54 rotatably receiving, at their upper ends, pin 52 and depending therefrom to their lower regions, where they are joined by a generally forwardly and rearwardly extending connecting or bottom wall 55. The detent member 51 is configured to swing gravitationally clockwise to a limiting position with the inner end or edge 56 (the left-hand edge as seen in the drawings) of bottom wall 55 extending at least beyond the center line of slots 37 and 38, and also beyond the center line of pin 40 when the latter is in its lower, rest position of FIG. 2. Such clockwise movement of detent 51 is limited by a stop finger 57 extending rearwardly for abutting engagement with the end edge of rear mounting structure wall 24. This condition is shown in FIG. 5.
The detent means 50 may further include shifting means 60, say in the form of an arm or trigger depending from a laterally outward region of detent bottom wall 55, remote from pin 40 and cord guide 35, and terminating at its lower end in an abutment head 61. The detent shifting arm 60 and its lower end abutment head 71 depend, in the solid line position of FIG. 2, to a position in the path of upward movement of the slat assembly 12. By this means, upward movement of the slat assembly 12 to its top position effects engagement with the detent shift means 60 to elevate the latter and swing detent 51 counterclockwise, to the phantom position shown in FIG. 2.
In operation, slat elevation to its top position, the phantom position shown in FIG. 2, withdraws the detent 51 out of its position where inner edge 56 extends across the center line of slots 37 and 38, and over the center of pin 40. In this condition, with the pull cord 45 in its fully downwardly pulled condition in frictional engagement with the freely shiftable jam member 40, incipient upward movement of the pull cord upon release, as effected by incipient gravitational downward movement of the slat assembly, causes the jam member 40 to shift upwardly along its constrained path of slots 37 and 38 to the position shown in FIG. 3. That is, the jam member 40 moves upwardly, obliquely toward the cord guide 35 and effectively jams the cord between the guide and jam member, so that further downward movement of the slat assembly is prevented. This top lock position is shown in FIG. 3.
In order to release the slat assembly from its top locked position of FIG. 3, it is only necessary to swing the pull cord 14 leftward, to the phantom position, to release the jam member 40 for gravitational falling past detent 51 to its lowermost, slat assembly releasing or freeing position of FIG. 2. Thence, upon release of the pull cord 14, the slat assembly is free to descend. In this released slat assembly condition, the solid line position of FIG. 2, it will be observed that the detent member 51, by its gravitational movement, swings over the jam member or pin 40. Hence, free up and down movement of the slat assembly by the pull cord 14 may be freely effected, without impairment by the jam member 40, the latter being held downwardly by limiting engagement with the under side of detent bottom wall 55. It is only in the topmost slat position that the detent member is shifted outwardly or counterclockwise, as described hereinbefore, to release the jam member for its jamming action.
Further rigidifying the channel-like mounting structure 20 may be a generally forwardly and rearwardly extending pin or rivet 65 extending between the front and rear walls 23 and 24, at the innermost or leftward end thereof. Also, an additional pair of upstanding, inclined, parallel spaced, facing slots 66 and 67 may be formed in the respective front and rear walls 23 and 24, on the other, leftward side of the guide roll 45, similar to the guide slots 37 and 38, while front and rear rivet holes 68 and 69 may be provided adjacent to and above the upper ends of respective slots 66 and 67. The slots 66, 67 and holes 68, 69 are provided to enable the mounting structure 21 to be employed in a left-hand operated blind, as well as a right-hand operated blind. In a left-hand operated blind, the jam member 40 and detent means 50 would be mounted in the slots 66, 67 and holes 68, 69, and operate in the same manner as described hereinbefore, being only of opposite hand.
From the foregoing, it is seen that the present invention provides a top position lock structure for a venetian blind which is extremely simple in design, requiring a minimum of relatively staunch and sturdy parts for high reliability in operation throughout a long useful life, and which otherwise fully accomplishes its intended objects.
Although the present invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it is understood that certain changes and modifications may be made within the spirit of the invention.

iPod owners among internet's 'most prolific influencers'
A recent consumer study by analytics firm Intelliseek found that iPod owners are significantly more likely to create and spread consumer-generated media on the web.
According to Intelliseek's study: "iPod users are twice as likely to have authored a blog than consumers who do not own MP3 players, and they outpace other MP3 owners on creating and posting content online. iPod users are also 2.5 times as likely to exchange text messages on cellular phones (59% vs. 24% of non-owners), three times as likely to take photos with a camera phone (45% vs. 15%), and three times as likely to download video clips and movies to a personal computer (47% versus 16%). The representative study of 660 online consumers was conducted in August, 2005."
The consumer behavior study also finds that "iPod users are product innovators, significantly more likely to own digital video recorders, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, laptop computers and cell phones than non-iPod owners. They tend to link to the Internet via broadband and wireless connections, and are more likely than others to skip past or filter advertisements, especially online, a behavior that may be linked as much to high usability/interface expectations as it is to a dislike of advertising."

Can you say propaganda? I see it the reverse. People who blog, text message, use digital cameras and download video are also savvy enough to buy iPods. The iPod isn't what made me want to do these other things. The iPod had no influence on me wanting to do these other things. The iPod also has no influence on how I do anything other than listen to music.
In order of importance to me, here's part of my gadget list.
1. Laptop
2. Cellphone (Treo)
3. Broadband internet connection
4. Digital camera
5. Cable TV
6. DVD player
7. Tivo
8. iPod
Sorry, the iPod is not at the top of my list. I bet if I really thought about it, there's a few more gadgets that have more influence on me than my iPod. And, of course there are a lot of things lower on the list than my ipod.
Whoever commissioned Intelliseek to do this study, or whoever pays for a copy of this study is being mislead IMHO.

yeah I was thinking the same thing. iPods don't make people technologically savvy; technologically savvy people buy iPods. surprise.
Posted by jm on October 24, 2005 at 4:23 PM (CDT)
I think this jsut show that those people who use technology are more likley to use….MORE TECHNOLOGY!!! Wow what a discovery, it's like splitting the atom or something…
Posted by ogvor on October 24, 2005 at 6:14 PM (CDT)
There is no suggestion in the story above (at least in what is mentioned here) that there is any *causal* relationship between ipod ownership and general tech-savvy behaviour, merely that there is a correlation.
they never claimed that the ipod itself influences you to write blogs, buy tivos or download multimedia content! just that ipod owners are *more likely* to do this sort of stuff.
a corellation is not the same as a cause, but it's still of interest to marketers and business people, and so probably worthy of a consumer study.

Posted by Talking Madness in Los Angeles on October 25, 2005 at 2:16 AM (CDT)
Ok maybe it's just me here, but saying "iPod owners are significantly more likely to create and spread consumer-generated media on the web." Is a completely arbitrary statement. It can be interpretted so many ways…
1. iPod owners compared to who? Other MP3 player owners? compared to non-MP3 player owners? compared to people who don't listen to music? what?!
2. Since there is a SH*TLOAD of iPod owners it's a huge group of people 'influencing the internet', but maybe it's just a big coincidence that the people who have iPods influence the internet. My parents have iPods, as well as all my friends and NONE of them influence the net in any way. My parents can't even use it!
(so maybe that last point is more a reflection of me, than a valid theory) NEVERMIND
Posted by Mondayne on October 25, 2005 at 4:16 AM (CDT)
at risk of sounding like i had anything to do with that study (i didn't), it's pretty clear who they were making comparisons with:
""iPod users are **twice as likely to have authored a blog than consumers who do not own MP3 players, and they outpace other MP3 owners on creating and posting content online**."
now, i haven't read the full report, and there may well be flaws in their methodology. without knowing how much ipod users "outpace" other mp3 player users by it's impossible to know how significant the difference is… and it's not exactly surprising that tech-users blog more than non-tech users, but the study was almost certainly designed deliberately to quantify (measure) something they already strongly suspected.
Posted by tim on October 25, 2005 at 7:08 AM (CDT)
My iPod to me is very important, as I use it as an external mass storage device, an mp3 player as well as an podcast player, an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning.. Sometimes I download my mail on it to watch them as notes on the Go.. Unfortunately I've been getting some problems about it lately, dunno if its the battery.. I'll have to think upon whether to buy the new 5g iPod or not, depending on my budget…

Hey Guys,
You may remember me posting for prayers about finances for my business and our trip to Disney. We were able to pull it off and had a great time! Got home late last night. Only to find out my Great Aunt, who I care for in Michigan (I'm in Georgia) was admitted to the hospital yesterday. I am planning on leaving tonight. My business has so much that 'needs' to be done today, my family has so much that 'needs' to be done today....I just want a break and now I'm having to look for flights that leave tonight!
Pray for peace, patience, finances, and safe travels....and that once I get there I can convince her to leave or that if I have to use force it goes smoothly (she is 93 and has no one but me to care for her....she needs to be closer and she doesn't want to leave her home of 50+ years)
I am exhausted already!

According to multiple sources, the Oakland Raiders do not fear that the latest ankle injury suffered by running back Darren McFadden is nearly as serious as the one that kept him out for over a month. Still, considering that we are talking about a player as fragile as McFadden, and also considering that the injury did occur to the same ankle that forced him to miss the last four games before last night, I would still say that there is at least some cause for concern. Over a month ago, McFadden suffered a high ankle sprain that kept him sidelined for four games. He returned to action last night at home against the Denver Broncos, only to leave the game late with another injury. Surprise, surprise. McFadden does just not seem capable of remaining healthy enough to ever make a difference for the Raiders. Team sources are optimistic that this latest injury is more of just a tweak instead of a sprain or a break or a fracture. McFadden was actually having a decent game in his first return...

This is largely scent free. It comes out thickly, but I find that a little goes a long way, particularly compared to 'standard' products, which are much thinner. This does take some working in and does leave me looking a bit pale at first, but I like to see what's covered. I find that it does absorb well and moisturise my skin. Sun protection is good as well. This will be my sunscreen of choice going forward.
A must have in the summer time :)

This is now the only product I use for my baby. Yep, it's thick and white but I don't care. It's the only thing I feel confident will protect him, particularly around water. I use it too sometimes, but it is quite greasy feeling on my face. It improves over time as it sinks in. I used to find the beeswax smell nauseating, but didn't really notice it with this last tube. I also tried the Badger Lotion for my baby and me; I couldn't stand it. It was chalky, much more white, came off very easily in water and seemed to rub off once dry. This is a much, much better product.
Good and safe sunscreen

A thick sunscreen that goes on a bit white because of the high percentage of zinc. Quite hard to rub onto the skin but definitely protects from sunburn. Also stays on quite good when bathing. Gives a healthy tan. I think it would be great for kids!
Looks so bad on!

Just got this home yesterday and was very eager to try it. Since a lot of the reviews here on iHerb is great on the sunscreen, and on other places as well, I couldn't wait to try it. It was VERY white when I put it on my face. I thought it would disappear, at least a bit, like regular sunscreens. But no. I waited ~30 minutes before I put my mineral foundation on. And oh boy.. I looked like a geisha. And by that I didn't mean pale and with wonderful skin. No.. I looked VERY pale and with patches all over the face, dry spots and just REALLY awful. I'm naturally pale so I didn't think it would look so bad. But it did. I had to take it of. I would never wear that outside, cause it looked like I had painted myself with white paint. Seriously. I guess I will go back to the one I used to wear. This sunscreen was very thick in it's consistency, kinda hard to get out of the tube. I have normal skin, not especially dry or greasy. I guess you have to have oily skin to have this. And if you have brown skin,.. This sunscreen will make you look like a ghost. Like your head is totally wrong for your body. I really hoped I would love this. But no :(

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur
The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzō was written in 1906. Essentially it is a long essay linking the role of tea (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life. Okakura had been taught English from a very young age so was very adept at writing in English to a Western audience. In The book of Tea, one of the great English tea classics, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things; most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzō argues that this tea-induced simplicity affected art and architecture. It's a fascinating cultural gem.

The album contains some brilliant songs. The highlight is Memory Motel, which is a masterpiece. There are also other gems like the ballad Fool To Cry, and the rocker Hand Of Fate. Read morePublished on August 25, 2011 by Klas
The music is good but the lyrics are so bad. Hot Stuff has to be one of the worst stones songs out there. The album gets 2 stars because of Memory Motel. Read morePublished on April 28, 2009 by W. Boland
