US 5285050 A Abstract A flameless portable cigarette lighter includes a hollow housing containing a pair of batteries and having a front wall with an opening sized to allow only the insertion of a cigarette therethrough for contact with a vertically oriented electric resistance heating filament in the housing for igniting the cigarette. A flexible closure is formed integrally with a switch actuator slidabaly mounted on the housing front wall and movable therewith from a first position closing the opening to a second position allowing access therethrough of a cigarette. A switch is provided in the housing for selectively connecting the batteries to the filament for energization thereof and includes a flexible resilient conductor having a free end movable into electrical contact with a pole of one of the batteries by engagement with a protuberance at the upper end of the closure when the closure is in its second position. The switch actuator is spring biased to return the closure to its first position when released to automatically close the opening and allow the conductor free end to separate from the battery pole under its own resilience to deenergize the filament.

Description This disclosure is a continuation-in-part of a copending disclosure having the same title by the same inventor, Ser. No. 07/817,564, filed Jan. 7, 1992. 1. Technical Field This invention relates, generally, to portable cigarette lighters. More particularly, it relates to a flameless battery-operated lighter having a recessed lighting means. 2. Description of the Prior Art Cigarette lighters commonly include a capillary action-dependent wick having a lower end immersed in a fuel and a rotatably mounted flint, disposed in closely spaced relation to the wick, that produces a spark when rotated against a fixed position abrasive member. These lighters have a number of well-known disadvantages relating to the need to maintain fuel therein, the inefficiency of the flint-based spark-producing means, and the like. Moreover, the lighters can be used to start fires, whether intentionally or not. Additional drawbacks of such conventional lighters are equally well known. For example, the lighter fluid has an unpleasant smell. Moreover, the lighters are heavy and not inexpensive. Many inventors have developed improvements to the common lighter. Chuange, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,507,704, discloses a battery-operated cigarette lighter that provides current that heats a heating element that is positioned within a housing. That device is believed to be the most pertinent of the earlier patents; however, its size, weight, and expense are not inconsiderable. Additional U.S. patents of interest include U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,030,011, 2,528,619, 2,991,875, and 4,621,649. Foreign disclosures of interest include Swiss Patent 245,621 and United Kingdom application 2,232,754. Although the art of cigarette lighters is well-developed, there remains a need for a lighter that cannot be used to start intentional or unintentional fires. There is also a need for a very inexpensive and light in weight lighter. Two AA penlight batteries, or equivalent, are housed in a small, light-in-weight plastic housing and are connected to one another in series to provide ample voltage and current to a spirally-wound Nichrome wire heating element when a switch is thrown. The heating element is positioned within the hollow cavity formed by the housing in recessed relation to a preselected sidewall of said housing, and said sidewall is apertured to provide access to said heating element. In this manner, a cigarette is lit by inserting its leading end through the aperture into abutting relation to the heating element. The recessed positioning of the heating element and the small diameter of the aperture prevents inadvertent and inhibits intentional setting of fires. A pivotally-mounted switch actuator means is biased into a normally open position by a torsion spring that is advantageously mounted to a peg positioned within the hollow interior of the housing. In a second embodiment, the aperture is covered by a closure means when the lighter is not in use, and the user must open the aperture when it is desired to light a cigarette. Advantageously, opening the aperture closes the electrical circuit that includes the heating element, and closing the aperture opens said circuit and therefore deactivates the heating element. The switch actuator in said second embodiment is slidably mounted and includes a hump formed therein that slidably engages a mating hump formed in a preselected conductor in said electrical circuit when said actuator closes a switch. A third embodiment provides a more elegant switch means, a longer-lasting filament, and a filament-protecting means. More particularly, the third embodiment includes a slidably mounted switch actuator that is biased into its switch-opening position by a bias means that is sandwiched between the top end of a recess formed in said actuator and a fixed position stop member that is mounted within the hollow interior of the lighter. The primary object of this invention is to provide a small, light, inexpensive, battery-operated cigarette lighter. Another important object is to provide a cigarette lighter that produces no flame and which is therefore safe to operate. These and other important objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent as this description proceeds. The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims. For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the first embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof; FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the electrical circuit of the present invention; FIG. 5 is an elevational view of the heating element employed in the first embodiment of the novel lighter; FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of a second exemplary embodiment of the invention when the switch is in its "off" position; FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of said second embodiment; FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line 8--8 in FIG. 6; FIG. 9 is a front elevational view of the second embodiment when the switch is in its "on" position; FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along line 10--10 in FIG. 9; FIG. 11 is a side elevational view of a third embodiment; FIG. 12 is a front elevational view of said third embodiment with the switch in its OFF position; FIG. 13 is a top plan view thereof; FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken along line 14--14 in FIG. 12; FIG. 15 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 14 but showing the switch in its ON position; FIG. 16 is a view like FIG. 12 but showing the switch in its ON position; and FIG. 17 is a front elevational view of the filament of the third embodiment. Similar reference numerals refer to like or similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings. Referring now to FIG. 1, it will there be seen that a first illustrative embodiment of the invention is denoted as a whole by the reference numeral 10. Lighter 10 has a hollow housing made of two mating casing halves 11 and 13 that meet along parting line 15. Lighter 10 includes front wall 12 having preferably circular opening 14 formed therein; the predetermined diameter of opening 14 is slightly greater than the diameter of a standard-sized cigarette; its diameter is insufficient to fully receive a human finger. Reference numeral 16 indicates a switch actuator; the switch means with which it is associated will be more fully set forth hereinafter; its function is to close and open the electrical circuit as needed. Removable closure means 18 at the bottom of lighter 10 provides access to the battery compartment. As perhaps best understood by comparing FIGS. 1 and 2, lighter 10 has a generally parallelepiped construction; it includes side walls 20, 22, rear wall 24, top wall 26 and bottom wall 28. The walls define a hollow cavity within which are positioned the batteries, the electrical conductors, the mounting means for switch actuator 16, and the heating element. The walls are of thin but durable plastic construction so that the lighter 10 is light-in-weight and small. As shown in FIG. 3, batteries 30 and 32 are conventional AA penlight batteries, or other suitable equivalent; a first quarter inch wide sheet metal conductor 34 is in simultaneous electrical communication with the negative pole of battery 30 and the positive pole of battery 32 as depicted at the bottom of FIG. 3. The positive pole of battery 30 is in electrical communication with a second conductor 36 of like construction; said conductor 36 is bent several times as shown and terminates in terminal 38 of heating element 40. The negative pole of battery 32 is in electrical communication with a third quarter inch wide sheet metal conductor 42; it is bent as shown to include a point 44 to ensure a good contact. Conductor 42 further includes a section 46 that is disposed in parallel relation to battery 32 and front wall 12. Importantly, section 46 has a free distal end 48 that is not mounted to anything. Moreover, an electrical contact 50 is secured to said distal end 48 on the side thereof facing away from the battery as shown. Switch actuator 16 is pivotally mounted to a peg 52 that extends between side walls 20 and 22. A torsion spring 54 encircles said peg 52 and biases switch actuator 16 away from contact 50 so that no current may flow from batteries 30, 32, when switch actuator 16 is in repose; both FIGS. 2 and 3 show said switch actuator in said position of repose. A fourth quarter inch wide sheet metal conductor 56 has a distal free end 58 secured to switch actuator 16 and its opposite end is secured to terminal 57 of heating element 40. Thus, when switch actuator 16 is pushed in the direction indicated in FIG. 3 by directional arrow 59, free end 58 of conductor 56 makes abutting contact with contact 50 of conductor 46 and an electrical circuit is completed, thereby causing current to flow through heating element 40. In the claims that follow, and as depicted in FIG. 4, contact 50 of conductor 46 is referred to as the first contact of the switch means and the distal free end 58 of conductor 56 is referred to as the second contact of the switch means. Element 40 is a relatively tightly wound spiral winding of Nichrome, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. Accordingly, it heats up quickly and soon attains a temperature sufficient to light a cigarette; it has a length of about four inches, and a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of a cigarette. As shown in FIG. 3, heating element 40 is recessed with respect to front wall 12; note also that the plane of the heating element is parallel to said front wall 12. The leading end of a cigarette must be inserted substantially squarely through opening 14 to light said cigarette. This is an important safety feature and prevents the heating element 40 from coming into contact with anything other than the leading end of a cigarette. The depth of the recess is sufficient to prevent a human finger from reaching heating element 40. Since circular opening 14 is spaced from switch actuator 16 by a predetermined extent of front wall 12, the only access to the heating element is through said circular opening. Moreover, the bias on switch actuator 16 further ensures that the current flowing through said heating element will be shut off when said switch actuator 16 is released, i.e., the actuator assembly acts as a dead man switch. Note further that conductor 56 is inherently resilient so that actuator 16 is biased outwardly, i.e., away from contact 50, even in the absence of torsion spring 54. It should also be noted that a plurality of pegs, collectively denoted 53, provide means for retaining the conductors 36, 46, and 56 in place. Each peg 53 has the same structure as pivot peg 52, i.e., each peg extends between side walls 20 and 22, in interconnecting relation thereto. Pegs 53 are specifically positioned to form the respective paths of travel of conductors 36, 46, and 56, as shown. FIGS. 6-10 show the second embodiment of this invention; it is denoted 60 as a whole. Many of the parts thereof are similar as the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals have been used to identify those parts. The primary difference is the provision of an imperforate closure means 62 for closing cigarette-receiving opening or aperture 14 when the lighter is not in use, and the switching means that activates the heating element only when the aperture is open. Switch actuator 16A of this embodiment is slidably mounted and includes an upwardly extending flat part 62 that is integrally formed therewith or otherwise fixedly secured thereto and which serves as the closure means for aperture 14. An elongate actuator-accommodating slot 64 (FIGS. 6 and 9), is formed in front wall 12 of the casing formed by casing halves 11A and 13A so that actuator 16A can be slid from its uppermost position as depicted in FIGS. 6 and 8 to its lowermost position, shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Directional arrow 63 in FIG. 8 indicates the motion of the actuator required to slide it from its uppermost position to its lowermost position, and arrow 65 in FIG. 10 indicates the motion required to slide it from its lowermost position to its uppermost position. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, when actuator 16A is in its uppermost position, closure means 62 closes aperture 14. However, the aperture is not closed by part 62 when said actuator 14 is in its lowermost position as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Note in FIG. 8 that when actuator 16A is in said uppermost position, the electrical circuit is open so that no current may flow through heating element 40A (shown in side elevation in FIGS. 8 and 10). A hump 66 (FIG. 8) is formed integrally with actuator 16A, and a pair of smooth ramps extend downwardly from said hump as depicted. A longitudinally spaced apart corresponding hump 68 is formed in conductor 56A. Note the spacing between contact 50 at the lowermost end 48 of conductor 46 in FIG. 8 and the distal free end 58A of conductor 56A. Accordingly, as depicted in FIG. 10, when actuator 16A is slid downwardly, the actuator and conductor ramps slidably engage one another and the distal free end 58A of conductor 56A is driven into abutting relation to contact 50. In the claims that follow, contact 50 is referred to as the first contact of the switch means and the distal free end 58A of conductor 56A is referred to as the second contact of the switch means. Current flows through heating element 40A only when contact 50 abuts distal free end 58A, and said abutment can take place only when closure means 62 is open. When actuator 16A is moved back to its FIG. 8 position from its FIG. 10 position, the resiliency of conductor 56A returns it to its FIG. 8 position. Thus, there is no need for torsion spring 54 of the first embodiment, i.e., conductor 56A, being a flat strip of metal, serves as its own biasing means. Note that heating element 40A in this embodiment is different from element 40A in the first embodiment, i.e., it is a linear element wound in a helix. Element 40A spans opening 14 diametrically as perhaps best shown in FIG. 9. Other orientations are within the scope of this invention. The third embodiment is depicted in FIGS. 11-17 and is denoted 70 as a whole; reference numerals similar to those of the first two embodiments are used for similiar parts. Plural ventilation holes 72 (FIGS. 11, 14 and 15) are formed in casing halves 12B, 13B they perform the function their name expresses. A rearward slope 74 is provided in housing 70 to deflect rearwardly slidably mounted flexible closure means 82 so that it seals tightly against opening 14 when it closes said opening, as best understood in connection with FIGS. 14 and 15; the depicted thinness of said closure means 82 provides the needed flexibility and resiliency. Lighter 70 is shown in its condition of repose in FIGS. 11-14. As best understood in connection with FIG. 14, the switch actuator of this embodiment is denoted 76 as a whole; it includes a flat base plate 78 mounted in closely spaced relation to battery 34. The opposite edges of base plate 78 are secured to sidewalls 20,22 of casing halves 11B, 13B, respectively, to hold it against movement. A stop member 80 is formed integrally with said base plate; it supports the lowermost ends of bias means 82. The uppermost end of bias means 82 abuts top wall 84 of switch actuator 76. When actuator 76 is pushed downwardly as indicated by directional arrow 85 in FIG. 14, bias means 82 is compressed as shown in FIG. 15 because stop member 80 is fixedly secured against movement. A protuberance 86 (FIGS. 14 and 15) abuttingly engages flexible conductor 88 when actuator 76 is slid downwardly; note in FIG. 15 that said conductor 88 is in electrical communication with the positive pole of battery 32 when actuator 76 is in its down or ON position; this completes the circuit through filament 40B because conductor 90 is in permanent electrical engagement with the negative pole of battery 30. The "J" shaped configuration of conductor 90 is novel, as is the shape of conductor 88. Conductor 88 has a first end in permanent engagement with filament 40B as depicted and a second end 87 that is free, as depicted in FIG. 14, when bias means 82 is in repose. A linear-in-configuration mounting channel 92 securely holds that part of conductor 88 that extends from the lowermost end of filament 40B to peg 52. The conductor 88 bends around said peg 52 as shown, i.e., the angle is less than 180 degrees, and a bend 94 is formed in the second part of said second conductor to provide a good electrical contact between said conductor 88 and said positive pole of battery 32. Importantly, conductor 88 is spaced apart from said positive pole of battery 32 when conductor 88 is in repose as depicted in FIG. 14. Just as importantly, conductor 88 is resilient so that it returns to said position of repose when it is released from its FIG. 15 position by upward travel of said protuberance 86. Said upward travel of said protuberance occurs upon release of actuator 76 because the bias of bias means 82 returns actuator 76 and hence protuberance 86 to their respective positions of repose as depicted in FIG. 14. As in the second embodiment, current flows through filament 40B only when said filament is exposed, i.e., when cover 82 is retracted as shown in FIG. 15. A filament-protecting device in the form of a metallic frame is denoted 96 as a whole. It is positioned flush with filament 40B and is rigidly mounted so that it is not displaced when a cigarette is pressed against it. Thus, the advance of a leading end of the cigarette toward the filament is stopped by protector 96 so that the filament is not damaged. The flush mounting ensures that the cigarette will be lit. The novel filament 40B of this third embodiment is provided in the form of a pair of parallel filament members. Each filament is a thirty nine gage Nichrome 60 wire wound in a coil of approximately 0.040 inch diameter, five to seven wraps, spot welded to a flat wire 41 at each end as depicted in FIG. 17. It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained and since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matters contained in the foregoing construction or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

French Country Decorating Ideas- French Antique
French country decorating is one of the most popular forms of country decorating today.
Antique red bathroom cabinets.
French country decorating need not be expensive or difficult, and you don't need to go out and purchase a whole new room. It is easy to introduce touches of the French country style without changing your entire decorating scheme. You don't have to go out and buy all new furniture, but for a great French country look, you should have some antique looking painted pieces.

French Country Home Decorating Ideas
December 3rd, 2008 · 2 CommentsFrench Country emulates the style you might find in a cottage in rural France. Country French is defined by its elegant look, with a touch of nature and country mixed in. The French manor look can be yours by bringing in these elements: antiques, blue and yellow, florals and nature inspiration, gilded elements, rustic country-inspired […]
French Style Wall Painted Decor
September 2nd, 2007 ·Love the French style of room decor? I do. Powder blue walls trimmed with pink roses and blue green leaves, gilded furniture are classic looks and never go out of style. Do something special in adding dimension to your walls with simply a stencil of your choice, a bucket of fixall or whipped stucco and […]
Dining room and the kitchen
Details are important in the French countryside…add trim to your draperies, dress up your throw pillows with ribbon, buttons, or even old beads and jewelry, and make sure comfort abounds in soft throws and well read books.
Anything with hand painted stenciling or chippy or aged paint will do. If your cabinets are tired, try repainting them with a worn look as this can be much less costly than buying new ones and will do wonders for the room. Decorative accessories are vital to pulling your French country style home décor design theme together. You can totally change the appearance of your room by simply replacing the accessories!
If you are decorating with a French country design style, try installing a painted or crystal chandelier with crystal lamps or scones and be sure to avoid anything that is too modern with straight lines. How you dress your windows also effects your French country style home décor look.

That Tightness That You Feel
That Tightness That You Feel
Peter Coffee
Posted 2005-11-21
Supply chain apps must manage this year's record-low inventory slack.
Hot on the heels of
my comment last week
that "Web app failures dont take holidays," the United States Census Bureau announced last Wednesday that total business inventories had shrunk to
the equivalent of 1.25 months sales
: a record low, it appears, and down from 1.4 months just two summers ago. If a drop from 1.4 to 1.25 doesnt sound like a lot, Ill remind you of the nasty behavior of queuing systems like business supply chains: They
tend to explode
as the rate of fulfilling pending requests gets dangerously close to the arrival rate of new requests. When that ratio gets down to 1.000... the steady-state length of the waiting line goes hockey-stick.
Dropping a ratio of service rate to demand arrival rate from 1.4 to 1.25 -- or, to put it another way, boosting a ratio of demand to supply from 0.71 to 0.80 -- can
grow the average number of pending requests
from 2.5 to 4, an increase of 60 percent. The ratio of inventory to sales is not precisely the same thing as the utilization ratio in a simple queue, but tightening of the supply chain threatens similar nonlinear effects.
Unless what? Well, unless the process is managed so that random fluctuations are limited and peak-to-average ratios are kept low. If you drive on freeways with
on-ramp meters
, you see this principle being applied all the time. By turning the injection of cars into the freeway from a bursty process to one with a steady and predictable rate, the on-ramp meter makes it possible for the system to behave well at something much closer to 100 percent utilization. Similar math applies to
Ethernet (random arrival) versus Token Ring (paced service) networks
: Ethernet works better than TR at low utilization ratios, while Token Ring behaves more predictably when nearing theoretical capacity. A server test in eWEEKs labs once seemed to contradict this characterization, but we found on deeper analysis that the servers were acting like on-ramp meters and leveling the traffic flows.
. Perhaps this seems far afield from the day-to-day pressures of application development, but theres a reason why Im offering this somewhat abstract view of the battlefield. My point is that simple statistical measures, such as average arrival rates and average servicing times of requests, become much less useful as systems get closer to their breaking points. What might seem like professorial questions, such as whether new requests are highly predictable or Poisson-distributed random, start to make a big difference as utilization gets close to that explosive value of 100.0... percent.
If you want to be the kind of developer whos regarded as a good steward of business processes, and not just a readily outsourced code slinger, this is the kind of contribution you want to be able to make to a requirements definition discussion. Your own situation may vary, of course, and the crucial ratios and processes that make your business work well or work badly may be quite different. With so many business supply chains going into their most critical time of the year, though, this particular example seemed like a good early holiday gift to offer you all. Have a joyful Thanksgiving weekend, and tell me whats on your wish list at

Your face has a nose for smelling, eyes for seeing, and a mouth for keeping all your saliva handy. Beautify your face with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $59 for one laser sun-spot removal treatment (a $300 value)
- $99 for two laser sun-spot removal treatments (a $600 value)
- $129 for three laser sun-spot removal treatments (a $900 value)
A trained nurse or laser technician takes up to 20 minutes to traverse up to 10 sun spots per treatment with a laser light. Sun spots may appear darker immediately following the treatment but will gradually fade as the outer layer of skin sheds in the following 7–10 days. While one treatment may remove sun spots, up to three treatments may be necessary to remove heavily pigmented areas. Healing time varies according to the treatment location.
Laser Enhanced Therapies
As a nurse working in intensive care, Antonette "Toni" Dardeno, an RN and certified medical laser safety officer who was a contributing author in CMLSOs' Best Practices in Medical Laser Safety, saw firsthand how advanced medical equipment could change lives. It wasn't until her personal experience with a dermatologist, however, that she understood the effects lasers could have on the skin. Though this experience became the catalyst for her interest in skincare and medical-grade lasers, it was her passion to help others that led her to establish Laser Enhanced Therapies.
At this laser-centric med spa, Toni and medical adviser Dr. Elliot Lach treat patients with two types of advanced Candela lasers designed to effectively eliminate unwanted hair and leg veins and firm aging skin on a variety of epidermal types. A trained laser technician or nurse reaches for the GentleLase 755 system for pale complexions, while employing GentleYAG 1064 system for those with a darker skin tone. In addition to laser treatments, Toni and crew also clear complexions with facial treatments, such as microdermabrasion, which they enhance with paraben-free MyChelle Dermaceuticals, IMAGE, and Aubrey Organics products.
94% of 123 customers recommend
"I thought the facilities were very nice - super clean and stylish, the staff was gracious, professional and friendly. I thought my sunspot treatment was very effective. "
"Very nice people great job. "
"I had around 20 sunspots removed from my face and the results were amazing. Toni was wonderful & I would definitely recommend Laser Enhanced Therapies!"

In our most recent blog, Laura described what the obsessional part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like. She noted that obsessions are worrisome thoughts, images, or urges that pop into peoples' heads and trigger massive feelings of anxiety, distress, or discomfort. On the other hand, compulsions are the things people do in order to reduce those unpleasant feelings. You could say that people feel compelled to engage in their compulsions, almost as if they have no choice at all in carrying them out. Compulsions take a wide variety of forms but include:
Maybe you're wondering what makes these ordinary looking behaviors compulsions. Most people do lots of these things don't they? Yes they do. But two issues make them compulsions rather than ordinary behaviors. First, they are engaged in for the sole purpose of providing some temporary relief from one's disturbing obsessions. Second, they are engaged in frequently, as in very frequently. It's not uncommon for people to engage in compulsions for hours each day. Thus, they distract people from getting on with their lives.
Yet people don't give up their compulsions easily. That's because compulsions provide so much relief. Here are just a few of the benefits people feel for a short while after engaging in their compulsions:
The problem is that the relief is always fleeting. After engaging in compulsions, folks feel better for minutes or sometimes even hours. But the distressing obsessions always return. And thus, the urge to engage in compulsions continues.
The good news is that OCD doesn't have to ruin your life. Very effective treatments exist. We've noted Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) before, and we will again. Over and over if we must because the message is so important. We almost feel compelled to talk about ERP a lot because it works so well. Furthermore, a disturbingly small percentage of people with OCD receive this treatment by a professional who is experienced and competent in administering it. And ERP often works well enough so that the use of medication can be avoided in many cases. We'll talk a lot more about ERP, how it's done, and pitfalls to avoid in future blogs.

I want nothing more than to fill the hole inside my heart
Or else in my head, shoot me dead
Because the pain never leaves
I want to lie with the deceased
and rid my self of all these thoughts that circle me,
but then again
in the end
that's what brought me here initially
One man, two souls
he leads, I follow
One man, two souls
He leads, I follow
I'm left to deal
with wounds that won't heal
And only I know
the way the blood flows inside my veins
Could this be my last night
amongst the pains of sight?
There's the man that you see with the innocent face
then there's the man that I feel
Who's made a mess of the place
My place, my home
where I'm left to be alone
it's the last thing I had to myself
Now his hands plaster my bones
theres a stench in my soul
as my gut rots
This lack of faith in control
Nothing makes sense
My heads in my hands
There are fractures and dents
and I don't know which wall to throw it against
The ones who cant think or breathe
will make the best of company
a family who would want the same for me
a bed of wooden sheets
Drill into my brain
Please just this once treat me like you would the mentally insane
Strap me down, fix me, fix me
Make me believe
That I'm one step closer to sanity
One step closer to finally getting my closure
The ones who cant think or breathe
will make the best of company
a family who would want the same for me
a bed of wooden sheets
a bed of wooden sheets

- What is the key to successful online advertising?
A 5000 word dissertation – read, comment & download - From the essay:
"Today people are living in a world of nonlinearity and constant change. Especially when it comes to the worldwide web and the age of Web 2.0, a lot of brands have lost connection with their target audience and desperately struggle how to successfully reconnect.
As a result what one can witness, is a shift in Marketing which leads to a change from traditional to interactive advertising. The outcome is a transformation from passive to interactive users, consumers are converting into prosumers, the content changes from a static into an active one and the timeframe of a campaign is progressively "open" and expandable.
Moreover, people are the new currency and customers become products traded by brands. Corporations are redirecting their budget from media outlets, towards customers."
The essay investigates what it takes to produce effective advertising and provides three representative case studies (Old Spice, Burger King, Pepsi). This dissertation was written within 3 months and is one of the four modules of the graphic design [BA] programme at the Prague College. Copyright by Filip Triner 01/2012.
About the cover:
The cover is hold by a typical sales label to catch the reader`s attention and trigger him to answer the question by looking at the backside of it. The answer reveals that " people are the new currency and customers become products traded by brands." ( –the reason why it is printed on a label).

In Astoria, Change Is Constant The influx of younger, creative types attracted to Astoria's lower rent and cost of living has had a significant influence on the neighborhood in recent years. With the new arrivals have come restaurants and bars that, five years ago, would have been more likely to be found in parts of Brooklyn. Among them are the The Queens Kickshaw, which made a name for itself with its inventive grilled cheese sandwiches when it first opened but has expanded its reach to include dishes like brussels sprout okonomiyaki (grilled pancake) as well as a renowned cider and mead menu. Neighborhood pizza favorite Milkflower looks toward both Naples and Brooklyn for inspiration, combining the two into a pleasing package. Favorite bars among this set include Sweet Afton, where bartenders mix cocktails-with-a-twist (such as the Rye Root Beer) and The Sparrow Tavern, known for its laid-back vibe and late-night menu that includes fare transcending that of any 24-hour diner. Both these bars, by the way, are in the process of opening outposts on up-and-coming 23rd Avenue.

Jennifer Bogenrief & Stephanie Yamkovenko 8/11/2014
New Medicare regulations will go in to effect on October 1. How will it affect your practice? AOTA submitted comments about issues that affect occupational therapy to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on several proposed rules this summer (read about the proposed rules and AOTA comments). Here is what you need to know about the new final rules.
Group therapy: The proposed rule asked for comments on possible restrictions of group therapy, and AOTA commented that research on outcomes is needed before limiting group therapy. In its final rule, CMS said that it believes that group therapy can serve as an appropriate mode of therapy delivery that can be beneficial to the particular needs of inpatient rehab facility patients as an adjunct to individual therapy. CMS agreed that it would be prudent to give more consideration to setting a cap and believes that collecting and analyzing the current delivery of therapy services will help inform any future policymaking.
Defining group and concurrent therapy: CMS removed concurrent therapy from the definition of group therapy and recognized it as a distinct mode of therapy, as AOTA recommended. CMS also adopted the following definitions recommended by AOTA to apply definitions consistently across Medicare's post-acute care settings: group therapy is treating 2 to 6 patients at the same time who are performing the same or similar activities; concurrent therapy is treating 2 patients as the same time who are performing different activities.
Collecting data on the amount and mode of therapies: In its proposed rule, CMS estimated that data collection would take 4 minutes to complete, but AOTA commented that it would more likely be 15 to 20 minutes to accurately capture the therapy data. In its final rule, CMS said it believes it has taken into account that the addition of the therapy collection item will increase the time it takes providers to complete the IRF-PAI. To help minimize the burden associated with the therapy data collection, CMS is not adopting the proposed requirement to record the average number of minutes by mode and type of therapy for weeks 3 and beyond of a patient's IRF stay. Instead, CMS will require IRFs to report only the total number of minutes of therapy provided to a patient, by mode and type of therapy, for week 1 and week 2 of the IRF stay.
Observation status: CMS did not make any changes to the 2-midnight rule, but it is accepting suggestions from stakeholders. Stakeholders can email suggestions for potential additional exceptions to the 2-midnight benchmark to firstname.lastname@example.com. CMS will notify providers of any additional guidance regarding the 2-midnight exceptions through subregulatory means, such as posting on the CMS website or manual instructions.
End of Therapy OMRA: CMS heard that some providers had concerns about the limitations on the use of the COT OMRA, such as when reclassifying a resident into a therapy resource utilization group (RUG). AOTA asked CMS for more clarity about the way the End of Therapy OMRA works after 3 missed days when therapy is still ongoing. In its final rule, CMS agreed that its example regarding the End of Therapy OMRA was incorrect and provided a new example to clarify the scope of the revision.
CMS finalized its proposal to permit providers, in certain circumstances, to complete a COT OMRA for a resident who is not currently classified into a RUG-IV therapy group or receiving a level of therapy sufficient for classification into a RUG-IV therapy group.
Find links to the final rules and CMS fact sheets here. Read about AOTA's comments on the proposed rules here. AOTA is currently conducting a more thorough analysis of the final rules, which will be available for AOTA members prior to October 1.
Jennifer Bogenrief is AOTA's manager of regulatory policy. Stephanie Yamkovenko is AOTA's web editor.

Volkswagen Tires
All Volkswagen Models
Your owners manual is a good place to find information about your vehicle's tire needs. Tire and wheel fitment information and safety and maintenance information (including checking tire pressure and wear) are clearly presented.
Owners should know their vehicle's tire pressure requirements and regularly confirm tire pressure, wear, condition, and age. Due to the advent of driving enhancements such as ABS, ESP, and ASR, correct tire size and tire profile are major concerns.
A further consideration is gross differences in tire wear (new tires on one axle and worn tires on the other axle). Due to the differing wheel speed sensors, the ABS, ESP, or ASR systems may set false fault codes or warning displays.
This is due to the "smaller" tire—the tire with the most wear—having a decreased circumference or rolling radius. The "smaller" tire will increase its speed, which will cause the wheel to slip or lose traction. This can trigger a response from systems such as traction control, automatic transmission shift strategies, and others.
A good rule of thumb is to maintain tire wear within 30 percent, axle to axle. It is best to follow your owners manual and its requirements regarding tire rotation.
Volkswagen Touareg
Larger vehicles such as the Touareg, and vehicles driven in a sporting fashion, will naturally exhibit increased tire wear rates.

entrant NDYLIGHT
The most striking exterior element of the Burlington Danes Imaging Centre in London is a stainless steel mesh screen along the front façade, which is illuminated from both the foreground and background. This technique, often used in theater, more effectively shows the transparency of the material and allows passers-by a glimpse inside by showing the exposed services of the interior. The design team at London-based NDYLIGHT, the lighting design firm on the project, carefully studied the mesh and how it responded to both natural and electric light.
A bridge connects the center to the adjacent Queen Charlotte Hospital. Blue sleeved fluorescent lamps are concealed at the floor base, and white light point sources are located along the sides of the bridge, "creating pools of light and enabling good face recognition," explains Maida Hot, lighting design director at NDYLIGHT. The project uses both metal halide and fluorescent lamps, and color is integrated into the exterior lighting to give the building a nighttime presence.
For the exterior, the design team employed blue, green, and pink light. The use of color was derived from the need for the lighting design to distinctively illuminate the building without being too bright, Hot says, adding that blue and green were chosen because they are relatively dark hues that complement each other. The blue dichroic filter, which runs along the bottom of the mesh screen, has pink as a secondary color to delineate the end of the screen on the façade. With residential buildings across the street, the designers had to be aware of the center's impact on its surrounding environment. However, being conscious of the neighborhood had no negative impact on the end result: a dynamic exterior lighting design that distinguishes the building at night while also satisfying the client's goals, local regulations and guidelines, and energy codes.
Kathy Abernathy: Beautiful combination of interior and exterior lighting techniques to create a stunning nighttime image.
Laura Briggs: By folding contrasting types of light throughout the several layers of the main exterior façade, the designers were able to do a lot with a little.
Randy Burkett: Purposeful use of color visually exploits structural and environmental building forms normally found as benign.
Jean Sundin: The lighting of the screen façade really enhances the depth of space.
David Ziolkowski: The contrasting colors of the external and internal lighting creates a dynamic nighttime façade.
