Description The application claims priority to and is a continuation-in-part application of application Ser. No. 10/944,676 filed on Sep. 17, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,167,090 and entitled �FAR-FIELD RF POWER EXTRACTION CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS� which is incorporated herein in its entirety, and the present application is assigned to the assignee of the parent application. The present invention relates generally to power extraction and more particularly to circuits and systems for extracting power from radio frequency (RF) signals. Devising efficient methods for extracting direct current (DC) power from electromagnetic radiation has become an important necessity for a number of applications involving self-powered devices, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and bionic implants. The operating range of such self-powered devices has been severely limited by the failure of existing power extraction techniques to successfully extract power from radio frequency (RF) signals having relatively low power levels. The problem of extracting DC power from electromagnetic radiation has two basic parts: collecting the incident radiated power, and then converting the collected power to DC signals which are usable by the self-powered devices. Converting RF energy from RF signals at different frequencies to DC power is a relatively difficult problem particularly when the RF signals have relatively low power levels. Fundamentally, this problem arises because frequency conversion is generally a nonlinear operation, (i.e., it is necessary to operate in the non-linear region of a non-linear device). Practical systems, however, operate at relatively low RF power levels which results in operation in the linear region of non-linear devices. In addition, nonlinear devices normally used for rectification have exponential nonlinearities with relatively large �dead zones� near the origin, i.e., nonlinear devices can be non-responsive in response to signals having voltage and current levels which are close to zero. Severe constraints can also be imposed when it is desirable to provide a self-powered device which is relatively inexpensive and environmentally robust. Such cost and environmental limitations preclude the use of exotic devices and structures. In one aspect, the invention is a far-field power extraction circuit which includes an integrated antenna and impedance matching portion and a rectifier portion. The antenna and impedance matching portion includes an antenna configured to be responsive to a propagating electromagnetic signal and which provides a resonant response at a resonant frequency. In response to the electromagnetic signal, the antenna provides an electromagnetic output signal at an antenna port. The antenna and impedance matching portion is configured to match an antenna impedance with a remainder of the far-field power extraction circuit including the rectifier portion of the power extraction circuit coupled to the antenna and impedance matching portion. The rectifier is configured to rectify the electromagnetic output signal provided by the antenna to produce a direct current (DC) voltage at an output of the rectifier. In another aspect, the invention is a far-field power extraction circuit that includes an antenna and a multi-stage rectifier coupled to the antenna. The multi-stage rectifier is configured to rectify an electromagnetic signal provided thereto by the antenna to produce a direct current (DC) voltage at an output of the rectifier. The multi-stage rectifier includes two or more stages, and at least one circuit element having a nonlinear capacitive characteristic. Included herein are various combinations of different circuits and techniques to efficiently extract power from electromagnetic signals having relatively low electromagnetic field strengths, thereby substantially reducing the power threshold required for operation of self-powered devices. Referring to Referring to It should be appreciated that although a particular dipole antenna design is shown in To address these issues, the use of one or more of planar loop, dipole, bow-tie and fractal antennas is presented. Loop antennas are advantageous because most proximity (near field) effects in practice are caused by dielectric materials. Since the near field energy of loop antennas is primarily stored in the magnetic field, they are typically less susceptible to these effects than other antenna types. Bow-tie antennas are desirable when a large impedance matching bandwidth is desired, but typically require large amounts of area in order to achieve this bandwidth. Fractal antenna structures are of interest in this application since they allow the bandwidth to be increased without consuming more area, or by reducing the area required to achieve a given bandwidth. Photonic Band Gap (PBG) substrates which reduce losses due to surface wave propagation in the flexible substrate may also be utilized. PBG substrates have electrical properties (like dielectric constants) which are periodic functions of space. Solutions of Maxwell's equations in such a medium have a �stop band,� or forbidden frequency range, where no surface wave propagation is possible. This may be utilized in our application by making the stop band lie in the frequency range where the main surface wave modes propagate, thereby preventing energy loss due to such (undesirable) modes and improving the efficiency of power extraction. Referring to Another technique used in performing far-field RF power extraction includes utilizing package parasitics to increase the input voltage levels to the rectifier. The far field case, when the input amplitude of the RF signal is not large enough to efficiently operate typical rectifying devices such as Schottky diodes, are of particular interest. To overcome this problem, the high-Q input-matching network 30 is used to passively amplify the input RF voltage. The inductance L and capacitance characteristics C(V) of network 30 are adjusted to include the effects of parasitic inductances and capacitances introduced by the chip packaging. In this way, a use for these normally unwanted parasitic characteristics has been found, as they now function as part of the matching network 30. Of course, increasing the Q also decreases the frequency range over which the system can operate and increases its sensitivity to environmental conditions, which cause the resonant frequency to drift with time. This necessitates the use of active resonant frequency control. This is implemented by the feedback-tuning network 70 depicted in Another technique used in performing far-field RE power extraction includes using traveling wave architectures for distributed voltage amplification and rectification. The matching network 30 is provided having both high voltage gain and high bandwidth at the input of the rectifier by using a cascade of exponentially tapered inductor-resistor-capacitor (L-R-C) transmission line segments. Each segment acts like a low pass filter with a certain Q and cutoff frequency. All segments have essentially the same Q, but have exponentially tapering cutoff frequencies. The cutoff frequency of the n-th section is given by:
where fn and Nnat are constants. Such a technique is useful for attaining high gain from many low-gain stages. Referring to Referring to The non-linear capacitance portion 141 includes a nonlinear capacitor (e.g., a varactor) 41 used for rectification. The varactor 41 (which can be a reverse-biased PN junction or a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor) has a capacitance characteristic C(V), where V is the voltage of the control terminal. V is varied at the same frequency as the input RF signal. The RF signal is applied differentially, and, as an example, V may be tied to the upper plate of the varactor. In that case, C(V) will be different on the positive and negative halves of the RF signal cycle. Inductors 42 and 43 and varactor 41 form a high-Q circuit and are chosen to resonate at the input frequency for some value of V. Since V varies as the RF, the resonant frequency and gain of the resonator will also be different on the positive and negative halves of the RF cycle. This asymmetric signal gain leads to the development of a DC component VDC of voltage across a load capacitor 46, CL, i.e., rectification. The power extraction system can be adaptively adjusted for optimal performance by using floating gate transistors as adaptive elements. The threshold voltage of floating gate transistors can be changed by adding or subtracting charge from the floating gate. A lower threshold voltage improves the performance of the switched rectifier and charge pumps described in the following sections by increasing the rectified current for a given input RF amplitude. In addition, the highest Q that can be used for the input LC tank shown in Still another technique for performing far-field RF power extraction requires using rectifiers to avoid voltage drops associated with diode rectifiers. By using the differential RF inputs to operate transistors as switches and not as diodes, the threshold voltage drop associated with diode rectifiers is reduced considerably. The transistor portion 142 includes the p-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor (PMOS) transistor 44, a PMOS transistor 45, an n-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor (NMOS) 144, an NMOS transistor 145 and a load capacitor CL 46. When the phase of the RF input is such that gate of the PMOS transistor 44 is low, it turns on, drawing current from the high side of the RF input, thereby charging the load capacitor 46. The PMOS transistor 45 is off during this phase. During the opposite RF phase, the roles of the two transistors 44, 45 are reversed, but the load capacitor CL 46 is still charged upwards. The circuit thus acts as a full wave rectifier and charges the load capacitor CL 46 towards the positive envelope of the input RF voltage VRF sin(ωt). The final rectified DC voltage is determined by the resistance of the transistors and the load resistance connected to the output. It should be evident that by replacing the PMOS transistors 44, 45 with NMOS transistors, the charging direction of the load capacitor can be reversed, i.e., charge can be made to flow out of the load capacitor, thereby decreasing the output voltage. Thus by adding a pair of NMOS transistors 144, 145 in parallel with the PMOS transistors 44 and 45, a negative voltage (referenced to the common-mode voltage of the RF input) is generated, giving a total output DC voltage of approximately 2VRF. MOSFET devices, being bidirectional devices, are ideally suitable for this circuit, where they are operated as switches. This makes the integrated implementation of the circuit using standard low cost IC fabrication processes, such as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), feasible.
Another technique for performing far-field RF power extraction uses charge pumps to increase the rectified output voltage. Since the input RF amplitude is extremely low (insufficient to operate the circuitry needed by the tag), charge pumps are used to increase the output DC voltage. Ideally, VOUT=VIN+VRF, i.e., a single cell acts as a voltage adder e.g., it adds the RF amplitude to the input voltage. By cascading N of these cells in series, the output voltage is increased under no load conditions to (N)VRF where the input voltage to the first cell is assumed to be at ground. Practically, parasitic capacitances to ground at the charge pumping nodes and increasing body bias effects on the NMOS devices limit the available voltage gain. This assumes that a typical n-well CMOS process is being used. This limitation can be removed if a more expensive dual-well process is used instead. In addition, by reversing the input and output terminals, the same circuit can be used to pump charge in the reverse direction and thereby generate large negative voltages. By combining two sets of four transistor cells pumping in opposite directions, an output DC voltage of 2NVRF can (ideally) be generated. This technique often provides better performance than cascading 2N upward pumping cells to obtain the same output voltage. The apparatus may utilize solar and other sources of ambient power for starting up the power collection module. For best performance, the power collection module can adapt to changing environmental conditions, for example by automatically adjusting the resonant frequency of the antenna using a feedback tuning network (shown in A feedback-tuning network 70 is shown in The controller shown in The output of the rectifier (VENV, which is the DC voltage to be maximized) is provided to slope detector 210. Slope detector 210 includes a PMOS device 202 having a source coupled to the output of the rectifier and charge pumps (VENV), a gate coupled to the clock generator 260 and a drain coupled to storage capacitor 200. The storage capacitor 200 is coupled between the drain of PMOS device 202 and a reference ground. A buffer 212 has a first input coupled to the output of rectifier and charge pumps and a second input coupled to the storage capacitor 200. Buffer 212 provides a first buffer output and a second buffer output. A comparator 214 receives the buffer outputs and provides a comparator output. A latch 216 receives the output of comparator 214 and a clock input, and provides the slope detector output. In use, the output of the rectifier and charge pumps is sampled and held on the capacitor CS 200 of slope detector 210. This value is compared with the actual value of VENV. This operation is a discrete time approximation to the time derivative, and the output C of the slope detector 210 is a 1-bit estimate of the slope of VENV. A predictor circuit 220 includes a latch 222 receiving a clock input and a data input and providing an output to exclusive-or gate 224. The exclusive-or gate 224 also receives the slope detector output and provides a predictor output which is also coupled to data input of latch In use, the predictor takes the current value of C, combines it with information about the previous correction made to the antenna resonant frequency and generates a control signal. This control signal is fed into an integrator 230. Integrator 230 includes a PMOS device 232 receiving a positive bias voltage at a gate, having a source coupled to a reference voltage VP and providing an output at a drain. A second PMOS device 234 has a source coupled to drain of PMOS device 232, a gate coupled to the output of predictor 220 and a drain providing an output of the integrator 230. Integrator 230 further includes an NMOS device 238 receiving a negative bias voltage VN at a gate, having a source coupled to a reference ground and provides an output at a drain. The second NMOS device 236 has a source coupled to NMOS device 238, a gate coupled to output of predictor 220 and a drain couple dot the drain of PMOS device 234 and also providing an output of integrator 230. The integrator 230 output voltage VC controls the antenna resonant frequency by changing the capacitance of the MOS varactors 240, 250 connected across the antenna output terminals. In one implementation that is shown in where ΔVC,n+1 is the new correction to be made to VC, ΔVC,n was the previous correction, and ⊕ denotes the logical XOR operation. This control law is that of a simple �bang-bang� controller. Every time the controller makes a right decision (VENV increases and its slope C is positive), it repeats it on the next time step. Every time the controller makes a wrong decision (VENV decreases and its slope C is negative), it reverses its previous decision on the next time step. An oscillator (clock generator) 260 generates the sampling and timing signals for the rest of the system. Necessary current and voltage biases are generated by a bias generator 270. Typically this takes the form of a supply-independent current reference circuit. The physical structure of an RF power extraction system is shown in Referring now to A rectifier 440, which may include one or more rectifying stages built out of nonlinear elements like diodes and transistors, operates on the impedance matched RF signal fed thereto from matching network 430 and converts the RF signal to one or more DC levels. The output of the rectifier 440 is coupled across a load capacitor 460 to provide the DC output voltage. A feedback tuning circuit 470 is coupled between the output terminals of the rectifier circuit 440 and the matching network 430. The feedback tuning circuit 470 couples a portion of the rectifier output voltage signal to the impedance matching network 430 to provide continuous or discrete time tuning of the impedance matching network. By performing continuous or discrete-time tuning, it is possible to produce, to the maximum DC output for given received RF power level, a DC output which approaches, or in some cases even matches the maximum possible DC outlet. For some power collection applications, it is desirable to provide a planar antenna on a (possibly) flexible substrate that produces the maximum possible open circuit voltage VOC across the antenna terminals and for a given incident field strength while at the same time the antenna output is impedance matched to the input impedance of the rectifier chip. Matching the antenna output impedance to the rectifier chip input impedance helps to produce a maximum power transfer because rectifying elements are ineffective at low input voltages. Thus, it is desirable to maximize the antenna open circuit voltage VOC. VOC may be maximized by using a high-Q passive network as an upward impedance transformer, but this strategy has limited impedance-matching bandwidth (proportional to 1/Q). In order to improve this trade-off, the functions of RF reception, impedance matching and up-transformation have been combined into a single resonant dual planar loop antenna. Referring to Referring to The rectifier input capacitance, Cin, value of 1 pF is typical of rectifier chips at an operational frequency of about 900 MHz. In the It has been found that the performance of the power extraction system is largely determined by the input capacitance Cin of the rectifier. It can be shown that the RF voltage amplitude seen by the rectifier for given input RF power into an antenna matched to the rectifier is inversely proportional to √{square root over (Cin)}. Several techniques may be used to reduce or even minimize the value of Cin. First, the rectifier circuit design may be optimized to reduce or in some cases even minimize parasitic capacitances contributed by the MOS transistors. This may include optimizing the number of gate fingers and source/drain junction areas, for example, by selecting the number of gate fingers to reduce the input capacitance, Cin of the transistor and reducing the transistor sizes as much as possible, consistent with performance criteria of the power extraction system, i.e. as the transistor gets smaller capacitance decreases but the threshold voltage of the rectifier also increases, which is undesirable so that an optimum size is desired. Second, the circuit layout may be selected to reduce other sources of parasitic capacitance, such as capacitor bottom plate capacitance and interconnect capacitance. Other techniques may also be used, such as actively driven or floating n-wells to reduce parasitic capacitances to the chip substrate. In Using floating gate transistors for adaptively adjusting threshold voltages and resonant frequencies one may adaptively adjust the power extraction system for optimal performance by using floating gate transistors as adaptive elements. The threshold voltage of floating gate transistors can be changed by adding or subtracting charge from the floating gate. A lower threshold voltage improves the performance of the switched rectifier and charge pumps described in the following sections by increasing the rectified current for a given input RF amplitude. However, the threshold voltage cannot be made very low since then the switches start conducting more symmetrically, i.e., the reverse current increases and they never switch off completely. This hurts the rectification efficiency. Thus, for a particular rectifier topology, there exists an optimum threshold voltage, which is also a function of RF input amplitude and load current. The optimum threshold increases with the RF amplitude and decreases with load current. In this implementation, CT is a parallel plate capacitor with polysilicon top and bottom plates and a thin layer of silicon dioxide as the dielectric material. The large programming voltages generate high electric fields across the thin dielectric, leading to quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons through it and allowing one to add or subtract charge at the floating gate nodes of the transistors, thus effectively changing their threshold voltages. This process is known as Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling. This process allows bidirectional electron flow across the dielectric, thus allowing complete control of the threshold voltages of both PMOS and NMOS transistors. The programming process is combined with a suitable function maximization strategy, such as the uphill simplex method, in order to find the optimum threshold voltage for the rectifier. Experimentally, this optimum is found to be a function of the load current and the RF input amplitude. The optimization process is as follows: the programming voltages VNMOS and VPMOS of all the switched rectifiers and charge pump cells in the circuit are tied together with the goal is to maximize the output DC voltage at the specified load current and at the minimum input RF amplitude of interest. It is assumed that known tunneling currents INMOS and IPMOS flow for given values of VNMOS and VPMOS (these may be determined experimentally). If the total capacitance Ctot at the floating gate node (Ctot≈Cin+CT) is known, the threshold voltage changes at the NMOS and PMOS gate caused by applying VNMOS and VPMOS for a fixed time Tare simply The size of the input coupling capacitor Cin may be optimized. For example, Cin is much larger than CT to minimize capacitive voltage division of the input signal at the floating gate, but cannot be made indefinitely large, because of its associated bottom plate parasitic capacitance, which begins to increase the input capacitance of the rectifier as Cin increases. The number of stages may be optimized in the rectifier. Increasing the number of stages increases the output DC voltage for given RF input amplitude, but also simultaneously increases the input capacitance. Again, an optimal number of stages exist that maximizes the output DC voltage at the specified load current for a given input RF power level. The optimum number may be found in an impedance model of each switched cell stage and using numeric optimization techniques. The present application has provided several examples of RFID tags operating in the UHF frequency band since it is of commercial importance, but the applicability of the techniques and systems described herein are not confined to the RFID use or the VHF frequency band. Since the techniques and systems may be applied to a fairly general nature, the innovations described herein may be applied over a broad range of RF frequencies and power levels for various self-powered applications. Currently, the minimum RF power threshold for self powered devices is in the 50-60 μW range. By way of implementing one or more of the techniques and circuits described above, this threshold is reduced to 3 μW or below. This results in a concomitant increase in the maximum read range by a factor of 4 over current designs. Having described embodiments of the invention it will now become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that other embodiments incorporating these concepts may be used. Accordingly, it is submitted that that the invention should not be limited to the described embodiments but rather should be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Rubicon Goes Agnostic: Unveils Buy-Side Technology, Mobile Too
Joe Mandese

As part of its push to automate the way advertising is bought and sold, The Rubicon Project Wednesday signaled a shift from a mainly "sell-side" focus to the "buy-side," unveiling its first major suite of technologies aimed at advertisers, agencies, media buyers and trading desks. The announcement, which was made as part of a half-day-long summit of advertisers, agencies and digital publishers in New York City, was a significant step toward positioning the six-year-old Los Angeles-based startup as a truly "agnostic" platform for buyers and sellers to automate the way they trade media.
"In order for a marketplace to work, you have to service both sides," Rubicon founder and CEO Frank Addante said following the announcements. While industry analysts have so far classified Rubicon as a so-called SSP, or "sell-side platform" developing technology for the benefit of online publishers -- as opposed to DSPs, or "demand-side platforms" that develop them for advertisers and agencies -- Addante said Rubicon has never seen itself that way, and was created simply to help both sides automate their processes and take much of the manual "friction" out of the media-buying process. That said, the business cards handed out by Rubicon executives during the summit still carried the tagline: "real-time trading for publishers."
The new buy-side product suite unveiled by Rubicon was part of a new, more powerful version of Rubicon's Revv server technology aptly named Revv Buyer, which will enable advertisers, agencies and trading desks to transact programmatic buys either through open real-time bidding exchanges or through private marketplaces directly with publishers.
Not surprisingly, Rubicon also announced a new publisher-focused product suite dubbed Revv Seller, which offers the same kind of automation focusing on a seller's needs. Both products are designed to automate many of the "mundane" human tasks associated with buying and selling media.
While Rubicon faces an uphill battle to establish itself as a truly agnostic interchange between buyers and sellers in the display ad marketplace, which is hyper fragmented by an array of other intermediaries all vying for dominance, but ultimately skewed toward one side or the other, it also announced another initiative into a segment of the advertising industry that is crying out for something to be its organizing principle -- mobile. The new project, dubbed The Mobile Project, seeks to do for mobile what Rubicon did for display, pouring buckets of venture capital funding and cash flow into the development of better technology to automate the buying and selling of mobile advertising opportunities.
The announcement was followed by an interview with Lori Tavoularis, managing director-revenue partnerships at Tribune Digital, which has been beta testing the platform, and recently put all of its mobile inventory on Rubicon's mobile RTB platform.
"We really wanted an easier way for people to buy our inventory at scale," she said adding that the result has been a doubling of Tribune's mobile CPM yields since making the move.

Anon5000 5pts Q: Why Did Stacy Ritter Appoint Les Stracher to Powerful Planning Council?A: Because he is a hottie! Just look at that picture... what woman could resist that face?
Randi Krotch 5pts The problem in Broward is twofold::1. Every one has their hand in every one else's pocket2. While the behind-the-scenes power brokers who've been making millions off the county, the school board and most cities are both the creators and puppet masters of this corrupt political mess.
City Activist Robert walsh 5pts This is getting really confusung to say the least. Lets back track. Les (is that his name) was working for rothstein. The wife is Comm.Lieberman Comm.Ast. Before that Bev was campaign chairperson(running the show) for Mayor Talabisco. So now you have Comm.Ritter and her claim toall this here. First of all I think bev Stacher is the one that threw Talabisco under the bus, along with Comm.Lieberman I think here. Stracher introduces the Chaits to talabisco. They play the game by Straher instructions to get what they want. No I think Stracher put this whole thing together. Why didn't she tell Mrs.talabisco what you are doing is wrong no she encouraged talabisco to take the donations. So now year or two later. You have her working for Lieberman(on our dime) . You have Talabisco arrested for the Chait fiasco and you have Lieberman spilling the beans so she doesn't go to jail. I think maybe Lieberman is caught in a pickle with no way out but to to squash Talabisco. Lieberman can't fire Stracher would be retialition.So I don't know for sure if Lieberman has been given Immunity like her Ast.)convient Bev). You are somewhat sketchy Bob On the Lieberman Immunity. I don't think she has goten yet, or am I missing something here? So far the only on ethat is eating her cake right now is Stracher. Don't think Lieberman won't see her way out of her mess,being her and the husband being involved in County govt. II'm sure they know what they are doing. I mean did lieberman get the Immunity or didn't she??. From what I gather she has not. Talabisco if plays her cards right could throw thi sright back to Bev if not Lieberman also. i smell a rat.

Man to hear her speak about this, I thought it was a fuckin fat Scarlet O'hare with a fat lil' fist clenched, thrust up to the sky and spouting " While God is my witness, I will never go hungry again!" as the dirt piles and wind blowing debris from the mainlands debacle is in the background....Ya, know, Crazy Ed loved dat golf cart, that is really what the tift with Stacy was about, he really wanted the Rascal but wanted to try the golf cart first, Stacy was like a spoiled brat,wouldn't give him his "turn" he got so angry he called Lil M and told him to drop off his gat, as e needed to bust a cap in someones ass, he never told Lil M who it was, but I was there and heard it, man, was Ed, pissed.

Christy 5pts Generally in Baseball three strikes and your out.Let's see what 28 looks like.K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K .This could be a scene out of a movie...""There was somebody at the front door. Stacy opened the front door and her father was there," Klenet said. "He lifted his shirt and pulled out a gun and pointed it at her.""He said, 'We have to talk,'" Klenet said.She asked her father to wait while she got a drink. The mayor then fled the house through the garage.Ritter ran to the home of neighbor Mike Moskowitz, a well-known lawyer."She was frightened for her life," Klenet said.Sheriff Al Lamberti was advised of the situation.Portner left Parkland and drove to his Tamarac home, where he sat down and watched TV. Sheriff's deputies followed him to the house, waited at the scene and eventually took him into custody."The family is very troubled by the incident and hope that he will receive the help he needs," Klenet said.http://www.browardbeat.com/rit...
Anonymous, too 5pts Just to be clear: Ritter appointed Beverly Stracher's EX husband to the Planning Council. Believe they are divorced, not sure if it is final.

anonamoose 5pts General comment re lieberman, ritter, stracher, etc: It is so obvious Lieberman has sold her buddy (and others) down the river...See ya later, Stacie. Alu, I'm sure, has convinced Lieberman that in order to save her own hide, she needed to become a state witness. Also, why did Michelson really resign from Sunrise? Anything going on there? This is better than the Beverly Hills Housewives....

Luther 5pts Ritter should move her fat ass on over to Israel, she sounds like a screeching banshee with her" Change is hard. We all know change is hard. It is human nature, but change is coming, and I would suggest that you accept it, you welcome it, and you recognize that this is a positive thing " the Palestinians would love to take a shot at her.
Justwondering 5pts Why does the pursuit of justice take so long? As reported by Brittany Wallman in the Sun Sentinel today, more than two years has passed since the elections complaint was filed against Ritter? What's the hold up? the Florida Elections Commission found probable cause to believe Ritter committed 28 violations punishable both civally ($1000 per violation) and criminally (for a term of imprisonment not to exceed one year per violation). What is State Attorney waiting for? Ritter should be in jail for these violations and all her other shenanigans!
Steve-O 5pts According to Ritter she "was elected to wisely spend the taxpayer dollars". That pretty much says it all.
Parkland man 5pts Stacy should be the one chained to a pole,with all the bs she and her clan that is all falling apart quick,it looks to me that the lawyer party they been having is just about all over but the crying,how much will that pice of shit golf cart be sold by the Feds run.

Definitely try some things out, it may work for you or may not. I'd like to hear how it goes. I think we just have very different styles when it comes to teaching. Neither is better, they are just different. |

As a matter of fact they did, for both of us. Being my first time out this year, and riding on a rapidly melting 6" base, those vids helped me focus on my technique. We watched them over lunch, and a couple other people were looking over our shoulders. Had these 2 dudes join us, and got an extra round of beers out of the deal. So I guess if we ever meet in real life then I owe ya a couple
Like I said, all the tips(except the shroom one, didn't try that lol) helped and I couldn't have done it without you guys. IMO this is the best SB'ing forum on the net, sure you can get discounts and win free shit on others, but no place else can you get this level of personal advice. |

CPR = cardio-pulmonary resusciation. Kind of difficult without the pulmonary part. Maybe CGR: cardio-gill resuscitation?
How did people do things before they could go online?
Actually, for fish it's F.I.T. (Flush in toilet).
Actually, I've done this, sort of! I used to get the 'feeder fish' and let them grow instead. They can be pretty, with different coloration, and get pretty big! I had one that was about 6 inches long, was orange with a white spot on its 'forehead'. It suddenly got sick with a fungus that covered it, and it sat on he bottom of the tank, leaning over. I put it in a separate medicated tank and gently wiped the infection off, but it still appeared dead, flopping over on its side. Figuring there was nothing left to lose, I held it face down over the big bubble stream coming from the aerator so the air went through the mouth and gills. After a short time, the thing began to gasp! A little bit after, it started to wriggle! When it seemed even stronger, I let go of it, and it started swimming. It had seizures for the first day, suddenly swimming into the side of the tank, but by the next day it seemed perfectly fine. The really weird thing is that its coloration changed- the white spot grew until it was all white with just some orange on the fins! He grew to over 8 inches, and earned the right to be named – Lazarus.
I wonder what embalming school the Tidy Bowl Man attended.
Probably the same way many still do, many of my customers claim they can't get internet, I check their area and sure enough they can't…you'd think the USA would be wired better, but nope.
Blow. Blow. Pump. Pump. Flush.
They should do what I do……Internet by satelite.
If you are going to include mouth to mouth remember to spit water instead of blowing air.
In 1938 I was seven years old and very fond of my pet goldfish – 'Fish' and 'Chips'. My father had changed their water the night before and left the bowl on the draining board and at 6am one morning, on his way out, he saw one was missing. He found 'Chips' in the sink drainer among tea leaves and immediately rinsed it and put it back into the bowl. It floated, tummy up, so, knowing how upset I would be, he used a drinking straw to blow water through its gills. He saw a sign of life after about ten minutes, so worked on. It began to swim without turning over after another half hour. He was late for work, but felt it was worth it as the fish lived on happily for years.
The nearest toilet>
@ Johnnypotseed…….Smoke Pot…
CPR for a fish is simple – you flush it down the toilet. the circulation of water through the gills essentially forces oxygen into the fish's system, thereby reviving the fish. Unfortunately, the fish ends up alive in the sewer system, where it gets eaten by rats.
And so it goes. -
"Unfortunately, the fish ends up alive in the sewer system, where it gets eaten by rats."
Not in NY. We have alligators in our sewers.
Wow, very cool! How long did it live for?

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda & Rwanda – written by Julie Roggow
As I lay in my bed at Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, looking through the black of the night sky, I could see red explosions of color illuminating the horizon.

The moment you come to the ungarbed one, the unclothed one, you become one with it, because when you know the naked, it is no one but you. In fact, everyone is searching for himself through others. One has to find one's own home by knocking on others' doors.
The moment reality is disrobed you are one with it, because the difference is only of garbs. Clothes are the barrier, so you cannot disrobe reality unless you disrobe yourself. That is why meditation is a double weapon: it disrobes reality and it disrobes you as well. The reality becomes naked, and you become naked. And in a moment of total nakedness, total emptiness, you become one.
I am not against sex. That doesn't mean I am for sex. It means that I am for going deep in it and uncovering the beyond. The beyond is always there, but ordinary sex is hit-and-run sex, so no one goes deep. If you can go deep, you will feel grateful to the divine that through sex a door is opened. But if sex is just hit-and-run, you will never know that you were close to something greater.
We are so cunning that we have created a false love, that does not come after sex but before it. It is a cultivated, artificial thing. That's why we feel that love is lost when sex is fulfilled. Love was just the preface, and now the preface is no longer needed. But real love is always beyond sex; it is hiding behind sex. Go deep in it, meditate in it religiously, and you will flower into a loving state of mind.
I am not against sex and I am not for love. You still have to transcend it. Meditate on it; transcend it. By meditation I mean you have to pass through it fully alert, aware. You must not pass through it blindly, unconsciously. Great bliss is there, but you can pass by blindly and miss it. This blindness has to be transformed; you must become open-eyed. With open eyes, sex can take you on the path of oneness.
The drop can become the ocean. That is the longing within every drop's heart. In every act, in every desire, you will find the same longing. Uncover it, follow it. It is a great adventure! As we live our lives today, we are unconscious. But this much can be done; it is arduous, but it is not impossible. It has been possible for a Jesus, for a Buddha, for a Mahavira, and it is possible for everyone else.
When you go into sex with this intensity, with this alertness, with this sensitivity, you will transcend it. There will not be any sublimation at all. When you transcend, there will be no sex, not even sublimated sex. There will be love, prayerfulness, and oneness.
These are the three stages of love: physical love, psychic love and spiritual love. And when these three are transcended, there is the divine. When Jesus said, "God is love," this was the closest definition possible, because the last thing we know on the path toward godliness is love. Beyond that is the unknown, and the unknown cannot be defined. We can only indicate the divine through our last realization: love. Beyond that point of love, there is no experience because there is no experiencer. The drop has become the ocean.

Premier League - Fans 'would support gay players'
Eurosport - Sun, 08 Aug 11:30:00 2010
The majority of football fans would support gay players if they decided to declare their sexuality, new research has found.
In a survey of 3,000 people published by the University of Staffordshire, eight out of 10 supporters said gay players would have a positive effect on the sport, comparable to how the influx of black players helped the games tackle racism in the 1980s and 1990s.
"One fan told us: 'I'd rather have a gay player who can play than a straight one who can't.' And this is a typical view, not just from supporters but from everyone associated with football," said Ellis Cashmore, professor of culture, media and sport at the University, in the Observer newspaper.
Public relations guru Max Clifford has apparently advised a trio of players to avoid coming out as gay because the sport is "steeped in homophobia".
That supports other findings in the report which claims that professional players, coaches and managers feel players would face hostility from fellow professionals. Four out of five people working in the sport felt they would suffer similar abuse from supporters, while a quarter said they knew someone who was gay in the sport.
Justin Fashanu (pictured) was the first black player to move for £1million in British football when he left Norwich City for Nottingham Forest in 1981.
He remains the only player to openly come out as gay and was known in Scottish football as the "Queen of the Diamonds" by fans during a short spell with Airdrieonians, club nickname The Diamonds, which suggested homophobic attitudes were still prevalent in UK football in the early 1990s.
Fashanu tragically died when he committed suicide in 1998, but no player has come out as being gay in the ensuing 12 years, despite a number of men and women in other sports coming out.
It is noticeable that many of the figures who have come out as gay are confined to 'individual' sports with the NBA basketball player John Amechi, Welsh rugby union player Gareth Thomas and Ian Roberts from Australian rugby league perhaps the three most prominent gay players from a team sport.
Ten leading gay sports professionals
Martina Navratilova - tennis player
Billie-Jean King - tennis player
John Amaechi - basketball player
Justin Fashana - football player
Ian Roberts - rugby league player
Gareth Thomas - rugby union player
Karrie Webb - golfer
Greg Louganis - Olympic diver
Amelie Mauresmo - tennis player
Donal Og Cusack - hurling player

Attractive aromas of cherries and cinnamon are carried through from the nose to the palate. A backbone of refreshing acidity and firm tannin combine with the fruit to produce a wine of sublime balance.
A dark cherry colour with good depth. Balsamic aromas with hints of ripe fruit, complex and spicy. The attack is fresh and light, with soft, rounded tannins. The finish proves persistent with some reminders of toasted oak. Its passage through the mouth is pleasant and elegant, fresh and easy to drink.
Mencia is native to this rather rugged part of the world and the wines often have a certain rusticity about them. The Alma de Tinto is bright and brambly with bags of fresh fruit alongside hints of developed, dried fruit nuances.
Bright, cherry red in appearance, the nose is full of intense red and black fruit aromas with just a hint of vanilla. The palate is well-balanced with a rich ripe fruit character and warm finish.
Humilitat is born to reflect the essence of the Priorat with no oak artifice and a gentle extraction. We still perceive the garrigue and dark mulberry fruit typical of the area, yet the texture is delicate the tannins soft and the finish lingering.
Licis is the name of a single plot where the grapes are grown and harvested to make this elegant red wine. This wine offers straightforward fruit; raspberry, cherry, violets, lavender and dry roses. An extremely well-balanced wine which displays fresh and intense aromas with soft tannins.
The wine is a bright, cherry red with intense floral and red forest fruit aromas on the nose with subtle hints of vanilla from the brief exposure to oak. The palate has a full and velvety texture with plenty of elegant red forest fruit and very good length.
A black-cherry coloured wine with slight violet hues. High aromatic intensity, with aromas of ripe dark fruit, fine smoked notes with toasted aromas coming through. On the palate it is meaty and crisp, with a presence of well-polished tannins. Moderate acidity, with a long, pleasant finish in which the oak can be detected more distinctly.
Intense, almost opaque ruby core with a purple rim on first release, this powerful young wine shows a highly fruity nose of ripe blackberries, ripe plums and strawberries. The mineral notes of the terroir, and a hint of fresh greenness work wonderfully as a foil to the exuberant fruit. On the palate there is a medium to full bodied mouthfeel with powerful structure given by warm, ripe tannins.
A dark red ruby colour with vibrant purple tinges. Savoury nose mingled with violet and freshly gathered red berries, supported by a light touch of wood. Finely textured tannins, a seamless structure, certain minerality (graphite) interacting with the vivid fruit and a long silky finish.

Casely - Burn It Up
Artist: Casely
Featuring: David Rush
Producer: Hugo Diaz and Casely
Album: 1985
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 16 votes )
Imagine what would happen if someone literally burst into flames on the dancefloor—with all the fire-themed jams currently enjoying heavy club/radio rotation, it's only a matter of time before some 911 dispatcher writes a legitimate emergency off as just another Sean Kingston-referencing prank call. Okay, maybe that's a little far-fetched but, still, it's a good thing that polyester's no longer en vogue. In any case, the trend doesn't seem to be dying down; Casely's newest single, Burn It Up, finds the R&B up-and-comer and club-hopper David Rush jumping on the (hopefully flame-retardant) bandwagon. Featuring a synth-scorching beat co-produced by Casely and Hugo Diaz, a catchy, punny hook ("I'm the match for ya," get it?) and a propulsively-flowed closing verse from the rapper who brought us Where You Wanna Go, BIU is guaranteed to get bodies out onto the floor. If this dangerously danceable cut's got you fired up, keep it locked to our frontpage for the latest release details on Casely's forthcoming 1985 LP.
