s clalm. v(ci. 11s-133)' l This invention relates to a method for testing inner tubes, and in particular it relates to .a method for determining leakage of inner tubes for pneumatic tires. More particularly, the in-` vention relates to a method of determining leakage of inner tubes by measuring the electrical conductivity through the wall of the inner tube.
In the manufacture of inner tubes for pneu-` matic tires, it is customary practice to test each tube to determine whether orv not air vwill leak therefrom. One-conventional method of testing inner tubes comprises the steps of ini-lating the inner tube and submerging the inilated tube in water. If the inner tube leaks, such leakage can be determined visually by the escape of air from the inner tube forming bubbles in the water. While this methodof testing inner tubes operateg somewhat satisfactorily, it has many objections. For example, the disturbance of lthe water in which the inner tube is placed fre-y quently makes it dimcult to determine leakage',
particularly if the extent of leakage is relatively small. Also, relatively small leaks in inner tubes are sometimes incapable of determination by this method. Still further such a method of testing inner tubes is dependent upon close'visual inspection which imposes upon the operator a dim'- cult and tedious operation.
In accordance with the practice of the present invention I provide a method of testing inner tubes which includes the steps of coating the in terior of the inner tube with an electrically conductive liquid, inilating the tube and immersing it in a tank of water, forming an electrical connection to the interior surface of the walls of the inner tube and to the water in the 'tank in` which the tube is immersed, and measuring the electrical resistance through the wall of the inener tube. Since the conductivity through theV extent that leakage is'not ordinarily visible by means lof the conventional immersionmethod.` Such leakage. however, is readily determined when tested in accordance with the practice of my invention.
It has also been demonstrated that a leaking inner tube, which in service leaks so slow las to drop in pressure from 30 to 29 pounds in a week, can readily be indicated by my invention.
It is, therefore, among the objects of my invention to provide a method of testinginner tubes which is quick and accurate in the determination of leakage of air pressure; to provide a method of testingleakage ofinnei`-l tubes which have a leakage rate so slow that it is not perceptible `by ordinary methods of inspection; and to provide such a method -of testinginner tubes which may' be performed byv simple and eilicient equipment. These and other objects and advantages will appear more fully -inthe following detailed de scription when consideredin connection with' the accompanying drawings, in which: a

foreign matter in the inner tube composition may result in leakage of the inner tube. Sometimes an inner tube is improperly joined in the region of its splice and leaiage occurs at this point. Also, the union between the valve stem and the inner tube sometimes results in inner tube leakage. Stillfurtber it may occur that a, localized area of the inner tube is porous .to the- With reference to the drawings, and in particular tc Figures 1, 2 and 3, I illustrate one form of practicing my invention. In Figure 1, I show an inner tube I for a pneumatic tire upon which a leak test is to be made. The inner Vtube I may be in the form of a conventional inner tube for a passenger car tire, or it may be an inner tube for bicycle tires or for heavy service truck or bus tires. Itis also to be understood that my invention is not necessarily Vlimited to testing inner tubes for pneumatic tires. The invention is equally applicable for testing hollow articles in which the wall of the article. is ,formed oi' a material havinga relatively low electrical conductivity. An example of such other articles which may be tested in accordance with the practice of my invention are balloons, and bladders for foot- 3 bells, basketballs. and the like, .rubber shoes or The inner tube I is treated so that the interior surface of the wall of the inner tube is coated with an electrically conductive medium. In order to accomplish this, there is injected into the inner tube a small quantity of a fluid known as Aqua Rex which is a sodium salt of sulphate mona esters of a mixture of higher fatty alcohols consisting chiefly of lauryl. miristyl derivatives. A 1% solution of "Aqua Rex is used. This solution also serves as a wetting agent.
Other liquids having electrically conductive ioperties may be used in place of the Aqua x." provided it containssuflicent mineral to render the water slightly conductive. If desired, a small amount of salt, base or acid may be added to the water to increase its conductive properties.
It is merely necessary to place a sufficient quantity of this fluid into the inner tube so as to insure that the entire inner surface of the wall of the inner tube is coated with the fluid. To coat the inner surface of the wall of the tube, the entire chamber of the inner tube may be filled with the solution.- Preferably, however, a smaller quantity of the solution may be used and dispersed as by a shaking action until the inner wall is completely wet with the solution. Since it is necessary to remove the solution from the inner tube after the testing operation, it is very advantageous to inject the smallest possible quantity of solution into the tube; otherwise, a great deal of time will be spent simply in removing the excess quantity of the solution. One advantage of using a solution containing a wetting agent is that a thorough wetting of the interior surface of the tube is obtained with very small quantities of the solution. In actual practice I have found that about 11/2 ounces of the solution is all that is necessary for this purpose. 'I'his quantity is representative for a 6.00-16 inner tube. A quantity of from l to 3 ounces is adequate for most sizes of inner tubes, the quantity being increased slightly for the larger size tubes.
After the solution is injected into the inner tube, a. conventional valve core is inserted in the valve stem and the tube is inflated with air in approximately the size it assumes within a pneumatic tire.
When this injection procedure is completed, the inflated inner tube may be shook manually so as to disperse the liquid throughout the inner wall of the tube. Preferably, however, the inner tube is placed on an apparatus for automatically shaking the tube. One suitable form of such apparatus is illustrated in Figure l of the drawing. The apparatus of Figure l operates to rotate the inner tube and to simultaneously shake it up and down to disperse the coating solution within the inner tube.
Essentially the shaking apparatus comprises a drum 2 on which the inner tube rests. A pair of flanges 3 and 4 serve as a guide to maintain the inner tube on the drum. The drum 2 is supported'by a shaft 5 adapted for both a rotary movement and for a quick up and down movement so as to transmit a shaking action to the inner tube. Preferably, the shaft 5 is positioned at a slight angle so as to maintain the inner tube in contact with the flange 4. The shaft 5 is supported by bearings 6 and 1 mounted on a plate I hinged at 9 to a supporting structure Ill. A bracket II attached to the plate 8 supports a motor I2 which through a pair of sprockets I3 Ordinary tap or well water may be used y and I4, and a chain I5, drives Vthe shaft I. This causes the inner tube I to rotate about the drum In order to provide an up and down motion to the inner tube 'I provide an eccentric or cam roller I8 keyed to the shaft 5 and adapted to engage in rolling contact with an idler roll I1 supported by the frame III. As the shaft 5 rotates the eccentric roll I6 causes the shaft I to move up and down relativeto the frame Il as limited by the pivot 9.
In order to prevent the inner tube I from being thrown off of the drum 2 I provide an arm Il attached to the bracket II and having a projection I9 extending therefrom for the purpose of preventing the inner tube I from becoming totally disengaged from the drum. By this arrangement it is merely necessary to drop the inflated tube, having the fluid injected therein, into the position as shown in Figure l, and after a few revolutions of the inner tube the interior surface of the wall of the inner tube becomes completely coated lwith the solution. Although Figure 1 illustrates one form of shaking apparatus which has operated well in manufacturing operations, it should be manifest that other apparatus may be used in the practice of my invention such as a tumbling barrel.
After the interior of the tube has been coated, it is removed from the shaking machine and placed in an apparatus for immersing the inner tube in water. One form of a suitable device is illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing. This consists essentially of a frame 20 adapted to support a tank 2| capable of retaining a sufficient quantity of water 22 into which the inner tube I may be completely submerged in a horizontal position. A bracket 23 extending from the frame 20 functions as a support for a vertically operable air cylinder 24. Attached to the piston rod 25 of the cylinder 24 is a spider 2l adaptable for engaging the inner tube I and forcing it into a submerged position in the water 22.
In the operation of the apparatus as shown in Figure 2 the spider 26 is normally positioned in its upward position as indicated by the reference character 26A. The inner tube I is placed in the water 22 and permitted to float thereon. Before the spider 26 is lowered by the air cylinder, the operator plates an electrical connector 21 in tight engagement with a valve stem 28 projecting from the inner tube I. When this operation has been completed the operator causes the spider 26 to be lowered for submerging thev inner tube I by operation of the air cylinder 24.
The electrical connector 21, best shown in Figure 3, comprises essentially a body portion which is formed of electrical insulating material. The connector is joined to an electrical wire 29 having insulation 30 thereon. An aperture 3| is formed in one end of the connector body and a metallic disk 32 fits into the base of the aperture and forms an electrical contact with the wire 29. A wire spring 33 connects with the disk 32 and with a contact 34 slidably positioned with the aperture 3 I The valve stem 28 is formed principally of a rubber composition body having tapered sides and terminates at its end with a metal ferrule 3i bonded to the rubber. The aperture 3l of the connector 21 fits snugly over the taper of the valve stem 28 so that the connector readily remains in position on the valve stem. The path of electrical conductivity now extends from the wire 2l to the disk 32, spring 33, contact 34, and into the ferrule 2l. From the ferrule. the path of conductivity continues along the surface of the wall of an aperture 30 extending through the valve stem 20 and along the surface I1 of the interior wall 'of the inner tube I. Thus a complete path of electrical conductivityis formed from the wire 2l to the interior wall surface of the inner tube.
In order to provide a water tight seal around the electrical connection between the connector and the valve stem, the body of the connectoris preferably constructed of resilient flexible rubber sol that it closely grips and seals on the valve stem. In this way, a short circuit through the water bath is prevented. Moreover, the flexible rubber connector will accommodate various sizes and shapes, of valve stems.
After the connector 21 is positioned on the valve stem 20, the operator actuates the air cylinder 24 causing the spider 28 to submerge c the inner tube -into the water 22. The tank 2l is of metal construction and therefore forms a terminal or ground to which an electrical wire I is attached. The wires 29 and 38 may now be connected to a battery or other source of electrical energy and in series with a sensitive ammeter 40 or other means for indicating electrical conductivity. By this arrangement there is produced in effect an electrical path on the inside of the inner tube and an electrical path on the outside of the inner tube. In this way the resistance of the wall of the inner tube may be measured and any minute opening through the wall of the inner tube which will complete the path of conductivity through the wall may be readily indicated by the means l0 which measures the resistance.
When an inner tube has been tested the air cylinder 24 is actuated to move the spider 20 into its upward positionl A. The connector 21 is removed from the valve stem 20 and the (apparatus is ready for a similar cycle ofcperation. The liquid is then removed from the interior of the inner tube by connecting the valve stem to a vacuum line.
Between the time when the connector 21 is removedy and before it is applied to another inner tube, the connector is dropped into a container 4I supported by a bracket 42 extending from the frame This container 4| is lled with alcohol and the purpose of immersing the adapter 21 in the alcohol" 4I is to dissolve the water therefrom to prevent a direct path of electrical conductivityfrom the m'etal ferrule 35 on the valve stem to the water in the tank'. Instead of using an alcohol bath the connector may be dried by means of an air jet. x
It is to be understood that the wiring diagram as shown in Figure 2 is intended to illustrate the principle of the operation of the electrical indicating means. For practical purposes, however, `it is essential to use sensitive electrical apparatus for detecting and amplifying the small amount of current that may pass through the inner tube l wall. Therefore, reference may be had to Figure 4 which illustrates one form of electrical apparatus and circuit for indicating variations in the electrical resistivity of the inner tube wall.

turns the unit on and oil. The secondary vof the power transformer 41 furnishes several different voltages. including 0.3 volts and 800 volts center tapped. Associated with the transformer I1 is a vacuum tube 50 which is a full wave high vacuum rectier with an open filament type cathode. This tube rectines the A. C. voltage furnished by the power transformer 41 and supplies a control voltage of 34o'volts across supply lines Il and l2.
Lines Il and 52 extend from the rectifier and.
operation. This condition is corrected by in `corporating, in series, across the lines Il and l! voltage regulator tubes it and 51 the purpose of which is to regulate the voltage from the rectifier tube 50. The resistor 55 is adjusted so that a direct current miliiammeter when connected in series with the regulator tubes I6 and 51 will indicate a current reading of 12 milliamperes. The regulator tubes 58 and I1 are of the cold cathode gas illled4 type. a
There is a potential of 265 volts across tubes il and B1 due to the voltage drop in a 3000 ohm potentiometer M. This voltage is fed across a resistance bank 58 consisting of ten 2000 ohm 2 watt resistances. Leads taken from these resistors goto a selector switch Sl. This is a twogang eleven point switch which selects any one of the ten resistors in bank 58 and connects it in shunt with a 10.000 ohm potentiometer 00. The selector switch Il is the coarse control, and the potentiometer is the nne control of a positive voltage applied to the grid of a control tube Il through the grounded center tap of potentiometer 00, grounded lead 38, the inner tube being tested, and the test lead 20. The purpose of the selector switch 59 and potentiometer Il is to permit adjustment of the positive voltage in accordance with variations in the resistance of the particular rubber stock of which the inner tube is made. The manner in which the positive voltage controls operation of tube 0l will be hereinafter described.
Tube 8| is a triode amplifier tube used to control the current to a meter of 500 microamperes rating. The 3000 ohm potentiometer Il is center tapped and controls the grid biasof tube il through a 512 megohm resistor bank 05. With 265 volts on the plate of this tube a grid bias of about 18 volts is necessary to stop the flow of current through the tube and the microammeter. The 3000 ohm potentiometer 04 isa .zero bias control to stop conduction of tube li and bring the pointer of microammeter 62 to zero. Additional negative bias is furnished by the resistor 02 in the cathode circuit when the tube is conducting upon testing a tube. The arrangement of the grid yin the circuit is sometimes referred to as a noating grid." f'
A small amount of positive potential can reach the grid. through the 512 megohm- .resistance el when a conducting path is made' from potentiometer 'Il throughthe ground, leads 38 and 2l and the innerA tube being tested. This small amount of positive potential going to the-'grid' of tube il onsets the aero bias. andlets a small amount of current now through the tube and meter. It is necessary to have about 62.5 volts across the resistor bank l! to put 18 volts bias on tube Il.
Tube is a relay tube with the same characteristlcs as tube il. The purpose of this tube is to control a relay 61. The grid of tube 6G is biased with a 75,000 ohm potentiometer 68 which is in series with meter 63 and the plate of control tube 8|. By adjusting potentiometer 68 the grid bias of the rel-ry tube may be controlled to vary the operation of the relay in relation to the reading on meter 6I. When no current is flowing through this meter circuit, there is no bias on the relay tube and current iiows through the plate and relay circuit 61. This maintains a switch on the relay in open position and a signal light 69 is out. As seen by the diagram this light is operated oil the line voltage. When current does ilow through the meter circuit the grid of the relay tube is biased negatively causing a cut-olf of plate current in the tube, and allowing the switch on the relay to drop shut thereby turning on the signal li ,'ht 69. A relay transformer l0 furnishes cathode heater and plate current to the relay tube 66. This current is controlled by an 80,000 ohm potent )meter Il.
A precision 2 megohm resistor 'l2 is connected into the grid circuit of the control tube 6l. Push switch 13 connects this resistor to ground when it is desired to test the unit and adjust it for proper operation. This resistor should approximately equal the resistance of an automobile ir ner tube that leaks. Therefore, push-Eng switch 13 simulates this condition and is a test of proper unit operation. After potentiometer 64 is adjusted :o stop conduction of tube 6l and bring the reading of meter 63 to zero, switch 13 is closedto place the resistance 12 in the grid circuit. Positive potential is thus applied to the grid from potentiometer 60 through the ground lead, switch 13 and resistor 12. Potentiometer 50 is adjusted to give a reading of approximately 250 microamperes which corresponds to a reading for a defective inner tube. This means that when a leaky inner tube is placed across leads 38 and 29, a reading of approximately 250 mlcroamperes ls obtained. On the other hand, ifV a satisfactory tube is placed across these leads, no appreciablel meter reading will be obtained since the resistance of the inner tube is high enough to prevent conduction of tube 6I. Any slight positive voltage applied to the grid through the high resistance of the inner tube, may cause the tube 6| to conduct slightly but the resistance G2 will then function to apply additional negative bias to return the tube to substantially non-conductive condition.
Panel light il is a 6.3 volt light to indicate unit operation. When switch I9 is on, this light will burn indicating the unit is ready for use.
In actual practice inner tubes which are tested on this apparatus ordinarily have an electrical resistance, through the wall of the tube ranging in value from 3 to 20 megohms. lIf such a tube should leak, the combined resistance of the tube and leakage path drops to from 0.4 to 3 megohms. Approximately 2 megohms is an average resistance of a leaky tube. In order to measure this differential, the circuit employed operates at a current of approximately 116 microampere and at a voltage of approximately 50 volts, as measured at the test leads. In the ordinary testing of inner tubes by this method, a reading on the ammeter 6l of less than approximately 250 microamperes lll is representative of an inner tube which does notv leak. If the indication on the meter I3 is equivalent to or higher than 250 amperes then the inner tube does leak and it is thereafter classified as -in inner tubes, which method `is readily applicable for commercial inspection of production inner tubes.- and-which is capable of determining inner tube leakage with a higher degree of accuracy than has been heretofore possible by conventional means of visual inspection.

First up: This is Matt, one of the two cameramen in the kitchen. He's often up on the counters getting closeups of the food as I cook, and he provides a steady stream of hilarious one-liners and plays on words, which I need to start writing down so that when I want to post about [...]

About The Owner
I design and build Green furniture, primarily from reclaimed bowling lane wood. I bought this property (at the time, 12 wooded acres) in 2004 and over the following 3 years built the 4 bedroom log home that you've been reading about. The house and property are cherished by me and my family when we're not renting it, and we love hearing how much our guests have enjoyed their time at Little Big North.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This place is great! Our first ever stay in a real log cabin. Quite a rustic charm. The view is beautiful. Our 2 families bonded over the cozy fire. Also close to Windham! Thank you for a beautiful weekend.

PITTSBURGH Newell Recycling LLC, a chain of Georgia scrapyards, is seeking to expand one of its 12 operations.
The East Point, Ga.-headquartered company has asked the Peachtree Corners Planning Commission to grant Newell Recycling of Gwinnett a change in zoning status that would allow it to expand its services.
The recycler wants to conduct metal recycling as well as auto salvage on the 5.71-acre site, which currently is used as a community recycling center.
If the application is approved, Newell will move the recycling depot, which currently accepts everything from plastic to paper, to a new building on its 23-acre main site and convert the smaller site to focus exclusively on metals and auto salvage. Vehicles would be decommissioned inside the existing building.
The company is seeking the changes to make better use of the property as a whole, a company spokesman said.
The commission has recommended that the request be approved as long as the site meets certain development conditions.

Tanner Reeves and Drew Andrews are certainly hot pieces of gay ass, but they're not the guys you're going to see with their legs up in the air while their ass is getting reamed. No, that honor is reserved for Kurt Stefano and Gareth Christopher, who are leather loving daddies that can't help themselves when they get in the mood. There's nothing quite like seeing this pair start stroking and playing with each other, getting hornier by the minute. By the time they're done with each other's dicks, there is cum all over the place.

text: UFC Cancels Fight, Cuts Fighter After Domestic Violence Conviction Revealed Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 23 Mar 2014 post a comment The UFC fired a fighter on the day of his scheduled match-up after Bleacher Report revealed a past domestic violence conviction. UFC Fight Night 38 featured Will Chope tangling with Diego Brandao in a featherweight fight tonight. But after the Bleacher Report story hit, revealing Chope had repeatedly assaulted his former wife allegedly over infidelity, child custody, and financial disputes, the UFC sent the mixed-martial artist back to the United States from Brazil. The incidents occurred during 2009 when Chope served as a teenage airman in Guam in the Air Force. The military branched discharged Chope after incarcerating him. Diego Brandao, the Brazilian set to face Chope, received his fight pay and win bonus in spite of the cancellation. On December 28, after weighing in six pounds over the limit and allegedly threatening to stab his opponent in the neck in front of numerous people, Brandao lost to Dustin Poirier. "My fight has been canceled for a 5 year old mistake I made," Chope explained today. "I am truly sorry to all the fans and will do everything I can to make this right. I have spoken with my ex-wife on the phone and she supports what I am doing and together we will make a formal press release as soon as I get back to the USA on Wednesday." Chope came into the UFC on a thirteen-fight win streak before losing his debut. He boasts a 19-8 record, which doesn't include his non-sanctioned inter-gender bouts.

A major military exercise has kicked off in Latvia. The Sabre Strike war games involve 4,700 troops and 800 military vehicles. Russia sees NATO's military build-up in the vicinity of its borders as a sign of hostility. Not a member of the alliance, Finland is among the participants in the unfriendly action. While the debate has been simmering in for some time, Finland is encouraged to seriously consider full-fledged NATO membership by influential political circles and segments of social elite. The situation in Ukraine is used as a pretext for putting the issue to the fore. NATO membership could come up for debate before the 2015 parliamentary elections. The ongoing discussions may have prominent international implications...

...On April 22, Sweden's centre-right government coalition announced plans to increase military spending, with an emphasis on more fighter jets and submarines if the four parties win the September elections. If the coalition were to remain in power, it would aim to increase the military budget by five billion kronor ($760 million) annually, starting in 2015. The government said that spending would rise gradually until 2024, when the annual defense budget increase would be around 5.5 billion kronor (€604 million, US $835 million) greatly exceeding previous estimates. It cited the crisis in Ukraine as a reason to justify the burden... There is also a movement among high government officials to re-examine the long-running issue of joining NATO... By joining NATO Sweden will become a target of potential retaliatory strike and subject to the US influence to even greater extent, which is strong enough as it is...

On December 5 NATO foreign ministers discussed the agenda for the upcoming summit in fall 2014, with particular focus on the development of NATO's partnerships with non-allied countries. ... Sweden has come out with a proposal to build a joint Nordic Battalion Force (NBF) to make it part of the agenda for Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. The force advocated by Sweden would operate as a separate force to the European Union's Swedish-led Nordic Battle Group (NBG), made up of troops and equipment from Finland, Norway, Ireland, Estonia and Latvia. Unlike the NBF, which would be Nordic-specific, the larger NBG is assigned to the EU's standby international mission forces. But taking into consideration the fact that the major EU parties are also NATO members, it easy to guess the both formations will inevitably add to NATO's capabilities too…

Leading Sweden and Finland into the embrace of NATO will make the nations targets of potential retaliatory strike while compelling them to participate in unwanted wars. As one can see the policy is implemented against the will of common people who find good neighborly relations with everyone and sticking to traditional neutrality as the course that serves them best. They also realize Russia will not stand idle looking at further NATO expansion…

For the first time in history, the 2012 Noble Prize in literature was awarded to a Chinese author - Mo Yan, a novelist top-read in his home country and enjoying considerable acclaim in the West... Berlin seemed to make an effort to balance the choice made in Sweden when the prestigious Peace Prize of the German Book Trade was handed to Liao Yiwu, a Chinese dissenter now living in Germany. The invectives Liao Yiwu directs against China exceed the boldest expectations of the country's critics: speaking at the award ceremony, attended by the German political elite including President Joachim Gauck, he got a round of rapturous applause for stating nothing less than that «the empire must break apart»...

Serious experts are now in little doubt that the US administration was the 'midwife' of the Islamic State (IS). Renowned Israeli analyst and former head of the ultra-secretive intelligence agency Nativ, Jacob Kedmi, says that the US is now trying to use the tactic of setting moderate Islam against radical Islam, which was «successfully employed in Russia». It is not turning out well for the US, however, considering that for the last three years the Americans have acted as allies of the IS in Syria, and before that were allies of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan... The war currently being carried out against the IS by the US Air Force is recognised to be for show and is more reminiscent of an arrangement of red flags, beyond which it is inadvisable to go...

Georgia's On Again/Off Again Relationship with Joseph Stalin
Stalin in 1945.During the 1990s, post-Soviet Georgia initially struggled to foster democracy. Its government was marked by former Soviet bureaucrats and widespread corruption. However, after the largely peaceful, pro-democratic Rose Revolution of 2003, Western educated Mikhail Saakashvili became president and rekindled hopes for democracy in post-Soviet Georgia. Since his inception, the new president has initiated a wave of reforms in order to bring Georgia out of Russia's shadow and into the Western spotlight. Saakashvili's reforms included restructuring of Georgia's police forces, streamlining the bureaucracy, and facilitating economic growth, but also crackdowns on the separatist regions of Svaneti, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Though the latter endeavor eventually failed, Georgia under the tenure of Saakashvili accomplished a substantial rapprochement with the United States and Europe in a bid to include his country into NATO and the European Union.

Sausage and cured meat enthusiasts frequent this neighborhood delicatessen and salami shop for its wide variety of sandwiches and sliced products made daily with Lancaster Valley pork and other local ingredients. The deli menu holds a variety of encased edibles, such as the rueben, a corned beef sausage buried under thousand island dressing, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on a 7-inch Italian roll ($6.95). The roman chicken enchants appetites with stories of the interconnected highways that spanned its vast empire, as well as fresh mozzarella and chicken sausage stuffed with spinach and provolone cheese ($7.45). An array of signature sandwiches sate cravings with the perilously stacked Italian cold cut, with layers of genoa, sopressata, and prosciutto resting under a blanket of provolone cheese ($7.95), or the herbivorian veggie's meatless three-bean-and-mushroom sausage ($5.95). At-home epicureans can stock their larders with cured meats and preservative-free sausage, which, like the sun and moon, are made fresh daily. Cheddarwurst links blend fresh pork and cheddar cheese ($7.95/lb.), and the chorizo salami infuses slices with the spice-seeking flavors of chili powder, garlic, paprika, and cayenne peppers ($11.95/lb.) combined in a traditional Spanish method.
As one of the largest authorized retailers for AT&T, Mobile Communications Systems equips conversers with phones, accessories, and services to fit various lifestyles. Requiring a two-year agreement for activation and upgrades, the plethora of impressive phones—including GoPhones, data phones, smart phones, and 4G phones—assures that talk meets its technological match. Smart phones, including the Samsung Captivate ($99), impersonate small computers with 16 GB of memory, a keyboard touch screen, and that new microprocessor smell. Built from recycled plastics, the Samsung Evergreen ($69.99) supports mp3 files and graces fingertips with a QWERTY keyboard. For more advanced technophiles, the 4G Motorola Atrix's ($199.99) 4" screen displays crisp videos powered by a dual core 1GHz processor, and the 4G HTC Inspire ($99.99) runs on Android 2.2 OS and records videos in 720 HD.
The folks at Sound of Tri-State boast that they specialize in "everything that turns you on." This isn't mere braggadocio, though; their slogan accurately reflects their specialties. At four different locations, they dabble in all manner of audio equipment, such as car audio/video, smartphone integration, home theaters, and DJ setups. They also install security and remote-start devices in vehicles, and round out their car services with in-vehicle navigation programs and professional window tinting.
The wireless provider industry changes quickly, but Arch Telecom keeps up by giving both technicians and front-line employees continual training. The extra effort shows: enthusiastic testimonials from clients cite employees' patient technical support for two seniors who were far from tech-savvy, as well as a staffer staying well beyond closing time to ensure a business's new phone lines were set up properly.
Lairson Electronics can recommend the right gadgets to go in your pocket as well as your car. The authorized Sprint service center carries a plethora of Sprint mobile phones, but its technicians specialize in automotive electronics installation. The experienced staffers upgrade rides with remote-start systems, which can warm up or cool down a car's interior before the driver even enters. Additionally, they install items such as headrest-mounted DVD players, touch-screen navigation, and shining new subwoofers and speakers.
After 37 years in business, authorized AT&T retailer, Communications Electronics knows a thing about outfitting its customers with the latest in mobile phone and wireless equipment, accessories, and new smart phones like the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, LG G3, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. The company traces its history in the metro region back 37 years, when most homes relied on landlines, and cell phones were heavy bricks likely to start dangerous fires. Through it all, the company rode the wave of up-and-coming technology, earning a loyal and expansive customer base through friendly, knowledgeable service, and frequent package upgrades. Today, the store sells the space-age Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 augmented with accessories such as armor-clad Defender cases, dual-port chargers, and Bluetooth headsets.

This visit will be during the ever popular family program, "Music and Movement," which takes place every first Saturday at 10 a.m. Rhymes, like music, facilitate the development of a child's phonological awareness.

The NorthEast Book Club: The book up discussion was Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Everyone appreciated the innovative structure and plot of Things Fall Apart, though some were disappointed that Okonkwo, the main character, is destroyed, and brings ruin on others. The group spent some time discussing what might have happened to the town of Umuofia if Okonkwo had not gone on exile, and also about how hard it is to reinvent yourself when you move to a new town. It was a very thrilling book to read which lead to some interesting chats in our group.
The Friends of Northeast Library (FONEL) have announced their upcoming used book sale, which will take place on Saturday, May 15, 2010. The sale will be open at 9:30 a.m. to FONEL Sustaining Members contributing $25 or more, and open to the general public from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Please contact the library at 202-698-3320 if you need more information

I love the Android operating system and all the free apps that are available for my smart phone.
Amazon has set up its own apps store called Amazon Appstore. If you download it to your Android smart phone, once each day they'll make something available for free that would otherwise normally cost you. The freebie is a loss leader to get you to buy other apps from Amazon, and it tends to alternate between games and productivity or communication apps.
So what's ended up on my phone? All these games I will never play that my kids want! I have My Paper Plane 2 for my middle daughter, Pac-Man for my wife and something called Plants vs. Zombies that somebody else wanted.
Another app I really like is my Schwab app. With it, I can take a picture of the front and back of an endorsed check, punch in the check's value and then upload the images. Bam, the deposit is done! Other than crashing occasionally, this app works flawlessly.

Drake And Meek Mill Engage In Bottle Throwing Nightclub Brawl With Chris Brown
Is it Champagne Papi or Drake Lozada. That's what we're wondering after learning Chris Brown, Drake and Meek Mill ended up in a bottle throwing melee at WIP nightclub in New York City in the early hours of Thursday morning.
According to reports:
Meek and Breezy were already at the club when Drake arrived shortly after 3am. At approximately 4am Chris Brown was suddenly rushed out by his entourage and was immediately placed in black jeep fleeing the scene. Not long after, Teyana Taylor, who had been celebrating her signing with Kanye West's G.O.O.D music label at a neighboring club, Greenhouse, was rushed out as well. Almost immediately, following her exit, club-goers flooded the streets in an attempt to escape the bloody brawl.
A member of Chris' entourage was covered in blood while a woman who had accompanied Drake was carried away by his security.
Also in attendance rappers Fabolous, Maino, Juelz Santana and Trey Songz, were also spotted fleeing the scene following the outbreak.
There are conflicting reports over who actually threw the first bottle but it's been reported that it was a few members of Drake's camp and Breezy's full entourage who engaged in the angry bottle hurling brawl. It's also been speculated that the real beef is between Meek Mill and Fabolous, but that Drizzy and Breezy were caught in the crossfire.
Hit the flip for Meek Mill and Breezy's tweets about the incident (which have since been deleted) along with photos of Breezy's chin where the bottle caught him.

Qantas' website goes all-but-titsup for an hour
Australian flag carrier QANTAS' website went all-but-titsup for at least an hour on Monday afternoon. El Reg tried to book a ticket at 1:50 PM AEST and found the site operated only in very limited mode, with basic booking functions only on offer. qantas website crash Even that functionality was flaky: the site changed from …
"...retro 1994-style Mosaic mode..."
Heh, haven't heard reference to that web browser in years.
Ahh the memories...
Probably because...
...the Toxic Leprechaun has fired all the IT staff as yet another of his 'cost saving' measures.
Nice try though
At least they made some attempt at graceful degradation of their service, rather than throwing the hands up in the air if it can't reach 20 different "nice to have" systems, and reporting some cutesy or hipster "ooops come back later" message.
Now for a bit of testing and rework to get the fallback barebones service working properly...
