Each of a plurality of switches is connected in parallel with an impedance and the switches are coupled to form a series circuit. A reference voltage is coupled to one end of the series circuit and a termination impedance is coupled to the other end to form a voltage divider.

This invention relates to the transmission of coded signals, particularly to a single wire multiple switching circuit.
It is often desirable, especially where switches are remotely located from a controlled equipment, to connect a plurality of switches with minimum wiring. For example, in a burglar alarm system where a switch is provided at each of several entry locations, e.g., every window and door, the switches are usually coupled in series with the activating device. It is, however, impossible to ascertain in a simple series circuit which switch was opened. In sophisticated systems such as those controlled by microprocessors, it may be desirable to permit the opening of a particular entrance or window without activating the alarm; this requires an indication of the switch thus operated. It is also sometimes desirable to be able to ascertain which of a subset of switches is operated.
There are, therefore, many situations where it is desirable to have a single wire connecting a plurality of switches. There is, however, as a matter of economics, a tradeoff between the advantages of wiring the switches separately compared to the economy of a simple series connection. The invention described and claimed herein provides the advantages of both alternatives.
A circuit embodying the invention includes first and second voltage reference sources and an analog-to-digital converter, the converter having an input or termination impedance with one terminal coupled to the second voltage reference source. Also included is a plurality of impedance means coupled in series between the first reference source and the input to the analog-to-digital converter, each impedance having connected thereacross a selectively operable switch for selectively bypassing the individual impedances.

This invention encompasses the use of a single-wire circuit for coupling a plurality of switches to a utilization device. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of resistors R1-Rn are coupled in series with a resistor RI. The resistor RI can be the termination impedance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 10, which has its input port coupled to receive the analog voltage at the junction of RI with one terminal of the series circuit R1-Rn. A voltage source V is coupled to the other end terminal of the series circuit R1-Rn. In practice, the voltage V can be of the same value as the voltage reference used in the ADC 10.
Analog-to-digital converters are well known in the art. The input voltage is converted into a binary number which most nearly represents the input voltage. That is, for k binary output lines, the ratio of the input voltage e, to the reference voltage Vr, is approximately equal to the ratio of the output binary value, B, to 2k. Symbolically,
e/Vr ≐ B/2k.
The approximation results from quantization error, which can be reduced by increasing the value of k. In the following description, Vr will be considered to be V.
For n switches, there must be n binary output signals in order to indicate the condition of each switch individually. If the circuit is constrained to allow only one switch to be operated at one time, the binary number can indicate the operated switch; in this case, only int≧(log2 n) binary lines are required. (The symbol int≧(log2 n) indicates the integer that is not less than the base-2 logarithm of n.)
Where n binary output lines are provided, one corresponding to each of the n switches, the resistor values can be determined by the following relationship:
Ri = (2i -1)RI for i = 1,2,3 . . . ,n.
For example, if n = 4, then R1 = RI, R2 = 3RI, R3 = 7RI, and R4 = 15RI. When none of the switches is operated (that is, all switches are closed), the input voltage, e to the ADC 10 is equal to V, i.e., e/V = 1. Operating (opening) only the switch S1 results in e = V/2, i.e., e/V = 1/2. Operating only the switch S2 produces e = V/4 or e/v = 1/4, and so on. When only one switch at a time is opened, that opened switch will cause a binary signal to appear on only one binary output line related to the operated switch.
If only int≧(log2 n) binary output lines are used, the resistor values are
Ri = iRI for i = 1,2,3, . . . ,n.
The operation of a switch will produce a combination of binary output signals from the ADC 10 that identify the binary number of the operated switch. That is, k binary output lines can indicate 2k -1 switch conditions; the minus one results from reserving the zero condition to indicate no switch is operated. For example, if k is two, three switches can be monitored; 20 = 1, 21 = 0 shows switch one is operated; 20 = 0, 21 = 1, switch two; and 20 = 1, 21 = 1, switch three.
The switches are shown as normally bypassing or shorting the associated impedance, but the principle of the invention includes the use of normally open switches across each impedance such that operation of a switch bypasses the associated impedance.
The embodiment in which each of the binary output lines represents a particular switch but without the constraint of operating only one switch at a time is a more complex problem.
In general, n switches encompass 2n subsets. Therefore, with two switches, it is necessary to have the digital output of the ADC respond to four distinct levels, each of which corresponds to a unique combination of open and closed switches. With both switches closed, the voltage into the ADC, e, is equal to the input voltage, V, i.e., the ratio e/V = 1. With switch S1 open, the ratio RI/(RI+R1) equals the ratio e/V and for best results should equal 0.75. If switch S2 is opened, the ratio e/V is equal to the ratio RI/(RI+R2) and for best results should be 0.5. With both switches S1 and S2 open, the e/V ratio is equal to RI/(R1 + R2 + RI) and should be 0.25 for best results.
The ratio of the switch values in the multiple-operated switch circuit can be derived from consideration of the desired ratio of the input voltage, e, at the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 10 to the supply voltage, V. The case of two switches will be described in detail and this will be applied to the general case of n switches.
Two switches can be operated in four different ways. First, neither switch is opened so that e/V is 1 and the two ADC binary output signals will both represent binary zero. These two signals are hereafter termed 21 and 20 so that in this case, 21 = 0 and 20 = 0. If switch S1 is opened, the desired voltage ratio is 3/4 and the ADC outputs will be 21 = 1 and 20 = 0. For switch S2 open, the ratio is 1/2 with 21 = 0 and 20 = 1. For both switches S1 and S2 open, the e/V ratio is 1/4 with 21 = 1 and 20 = 1. These considerations lead to the following equations:
ri = r2; and
3ps The above equations are found to be inconsistent so a new approach is required.
Since the ADC converts an analog signal into one of several discrete values, there is a range of input voltages -- and consequently, e/V ratios -- that produce the same output binary value. Since the ADC can be made to do so, the binary value associated with e/V = 3/4 will also be produced whenever e/V between the values of 7/8 and 5/8. Similarly, the binary output values for e/V = 1/2 are produced for values of e/V between 5/8 and 3/8, and those for e/V = 1/4, between 3/8 and 1/8.
This leads to the following set of inequalities:
25r2 ≧ 15ri ≧ 9r2; and
this set of inequalities can be solved in many way, one way being linear programming which requires a function that can be maximized or minimized. Maximizing Z = R1 + R2 leads to a ratio of R1:R2:RI of 9:25:15. The resulting e/V ratios are:
S1 open -- e/V = 0.625;
s2 open -- e/V = 0.375; and
S1 & s2 open -- e/V = 0.306.
the limits of the ADC can be adjusted to have thresholds between the above values. That is, for a binary output of 21 = 20 = 0, the ratio of e/V should be greater than 0.8125; for 21 = 1 and 20 = 0, the e/V ratio should be between 0.8125 and 0.5; for 21 = 0 and 20 = 1, between 0.5 and 0.3405; and for 21 = 20 = 1, between 0.3405 and 0. By making the lower limit of the e/V ratio 0.153 instead of zero, an advantage is gained which is described in more detail below.
FIG. 2 is an illustration of a two switch circuit. Four voltage comparators 20-23, such as high input impedance, high gain operational amplifiers without feedback, compare a reference voltage to the input voltage, e, from the switch line. The reference voltages are taken from a chain of resistors RA -RE. Neglecting the high input impedance of the comparators 20-23, the values of resistors useful in the circuit according to the criteria discussed above are:
The table of FIG. 3 summarizes the operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 2. The first two columns show the conditions of the switches S1 and S2. A 0 entry indicates the switch is in the normally closed position and a 1 entry, that the switch is operated to the open position. The third column shows the resulting e/V ratio. The fourth through seventh columns indicate the output signals from the comparators; a 0 entry indicates a low or logical zero value and a 1 entry indicates a high or logical 1 value. The eighth and ninth columns indicate the logical (binary) output signals from two NAND gates 24 and 25 (FIG. 2), respectively.
The polarity (0 or 1) of the output signal from the comparators 20-24 depends on the values of the voltages at the inverting (-) and non-inverting (+) input nodes. When the voltage at the non-inverting input node is greater than the inverting input voltage, the comparator output is high (1). Otherwise, it is low (0).
In the explanation which follows, first the 20 and 21 outputs for different switch positions will be discussed. Elements 23 and 27 form a circuit for detecting an open in the series input circuit which includes R1 and R2 (which could result, for example, from a cut wire in a burglar alarm system). The circuit which includes comparator 29 is for detecting a greater than normal voltage across the series input circuit. These auxiliary circuits are discussed later.
When neither switch S1 nor S2 is open (first row of the table of FIG. 3), the value of e is equal to V, i.e., e/V = 1. The non-inverting input voltage to the comparator 20 is 0.8125 V and the inverting input voltage is V. Therefore, the output signal from the comparator 20 (C1) is low (0). The output signals from the other comparators are high (1) because the non-inverting input voltage is greater than the inverting input voltage. The logical one output signal from the comparator 21 is inverted to a logical zero by a NAND gate inverter 24. Thus, the 20 binary value is zero. The output signal from a NAND gate 26 is high (logical 1) because of the logical zero input signal from the comparator 20. Both input signals to a NAND gate 25 are high which produces a low output signal. Therefore, the binary value of 21 is zero.
When switch S1 is operated to the open position, the voltage e is 0.625V which is lower than the value 0.8125V non-inverting input voltage to comparator 20 and greater than the inverting input voltage of the other comparators 21-23. Therefore, the output signals from all the comparators 20-23 are logical ones. The 20 binary output signal remains at zero because it is the inverted output signal from the comparator 21. The output signal from the NAND gate 26 is low because both input signals are high, which causes the output signal from the NAND gate 25 to be a logical 1. Therefore, the binary value of 21 is 1.
When the switch S2 is opened (with S1 closed), the value of e is 0.375V. This is lower than the 0.8125V reference voltage on the comparator 20 and the 0.5V reference voltage on the comparator 21. It is greater than the 0.3405V and 0.153V reference voltages on the comparators 22 and 23, respectively. The output signals from the comparators are shown in row three of the table of FIG. 3. The logical zero output signal from the comparator 21 inhibits the NAND gate 26 and is inverted into the 20 binary value by the NAND gate 24. The high output signals from the comparator 22 and the NAND gate 26 produce a low output signal from the NAND gate 25 so that 21 is zero.
Opening both switches produces a value of e equal to 0.306V which is lower than the reference voltages to the comparators 21-23. The resulting zero output signal from the comparator 21 is inverted to a logical one by the NAND gate 24. The NAND gate 25 is inhibited by the zero output signal from the comparator 22. Therefore, the binary values are 21 = 20 = 1.
As the number of switches increases, the values of the series impedances become more critical. This problem can be avoided if the termination impedance, RI, is replaced with a constant current source as shown in the circuit of FIG. 4. A simple constant current source can be constructed using a transistor 40 and a zener diode 41. As is well known in the art, the current, I, supplied is approximately (Vz - VBE)/RE, where Vz is the zener voltage of the diode 41 and VBE is the potential drop between the emitter and base of the transistor 40. RE is the emitter resistor and Rz, the zener load resistor.
The values of the resistors are linearly related to the value of e when using a constant current source (neglecting the input impedance of the analog-to-digital converter). If R1 = 0.25V/I and R2 = 0.50V/I, then R1 = R2 = 0.75V/I, where V is the input voltage and I is the current supplied by the constant current source. Thus, it follows that for n switches, the series resistor values can be found by
Ri = 2i-1 V/2n I, or
Ri = 2i-n-1 (V/I).
the binary output line from the ADC representing the least significant bit corresponds to switch S1. The next higher significant bit corresponds to switch S2, and so on, the most significant binary output line corresponding to switch Sn.
When the switch wire is open, the value of e drops to ground, causing the output signal from the comparator 23 (FIG. 2) to be low which can be inverted to a logical one by a NAND gate 22 to produce a special Z signal to indicate a malfunction or the operation of a special switch opening the line. If the switch line is part of a burglar alarm, then the Z signal will occur if the wire is cut.
The above description is based on the switches being normally closed. The same principles apply, however, to an arrangement using normally-open switches. The output binary values can be inverted to maintain correlation of switches to binary values.
The principle of detection of remote multiple switch activation can be extended to n switches. The number of combinations of switches that can be operated simultaneously is 2n.
An additional advantage of the circuit according to the invention is that a break or open circuit in the line can be detected. Where the switches represent entry detectors in a burglar alarm system, the attempt to inactivate the alarm by cutting the wire will produce an input voltage to the ADC that can be distinguished from the binary values indicating the switches. For example, in FIG. 2 the opening of the line produces a ground potential at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 23. Because this is lower than the potential at the junction of resistors RD and Re, the output signal of the comparator 23 is a logical zero which is inverted to a logical 1 by an inverter 27.
An attempt to bypass a burglar alarm using the circuit of FIG. 2 by coupling a voltage to the line that is higher than a voltage which would indicate a switch had been operated can be detected by tapping a potential off the resistor RA to the inverting input terminal of a comparator 29. The switch line potential is applied to the non-inverting input terminal via the voltage divider comprising two resistors RF and RG. The voltage divider RF and RG have a ratio to the potential at the tap of RA so that the application of a potential greater than V will cause the output signal of the comparator 29 to be a logical 1.
In FIG. 5, a burglar alarm system according to the invention is illustrated, showing a switch S1 which is coupled to be operated, i.e., opened, when a window 51 is opened. A switch S2 is similarly operated when a door 52 is opened. A single wire conductor 56a, 56b and 56c couples the switches in series between a voltage potential, +V, and a detector 54. A resistor R1 is coupled in parallel across switch S1 and a resistor R2 is coupled in parallel across switch S2.
The detector 54 comprises a termination impedance and an analog-to-digital converter as described above. When any of the previously-described signals are generated, i.e., 21, 20, Z and Q (all in FIG. 2), an alarm 53 is activated. Therefore, if any access way is opened, if the connector wire 56a-56c is cut, or if a voltage potential greater than +V is applied to the series circuit, the alarm 53 will be activated.
Although illustrated with only two switches, the burglar alarm system can be used with a large number of switches through still requiring only a single wire to connect them into the alarm circuit.
If the 20 and 21 signals (FIG. 2), corresponding to the door and window switches, respectively, are coupled to the alarm via switches 61 and 62 as shown in FIG. 6, then the alarm can be selectively disabled for one of the accesses if desired.
The invention is described as operating with fixed, direct current voltages and resistors, but it is understood that variable, alternating-current voltages with other types of impedances, e.g., capacitors and inductors, can be used.

Motorola is reportedly going to introduce a new phone that features an edge-to-edge display at a September 18th event in London.
Unfortunately details are scarcer than a very scarce thing but, according to Bloomberg's industry source, Motorola's new phone will feature a bezel-less display along with super-speedy LTE connectivity.
Increasing the likelihood of a full-screen Motorola phone, invitations for the mid-September announcement event say: "Let us take you to the edge" – a mighty big clue.
It's also worth noting that an Intel logo adorns the top of said invite, more than hinting at where the phone's internals will be coming from.
Besides differentiating Motorola phones away from the rest of the pack, the lack of a bezel would allow Moto to fit a bigger display in a smaller case – so hopefully it won't take up as much pocket real estate as the Samsung Galaxy S3 or HTC One X.

Overwintering containers
So on a separate thread, I am told that overwintering container plants are not the same as overwintering plants in the ground. I assume this is because the ground act as a thermal sink so that it smooths out the temperature change. Previously I overwintered sedium in pots without any issues, but sedium are really hardy and probably didn't care about the cold.
So what should I do in the winter with container plants. Should I stick them in my unheated garage? I assume even though it's unheated, it's still warmer than the outside.
Paul, can I ask why you are asking this question when we're just coming OUT of winter? :)
The ground temperature is much warmer than the air temperature on the coldest days. That why they say that container plants should be at least 2 zones more hardy if they're left in the containers over the winter.
An unheated garage is okay - I put some Salvia Black & Blue in there this past winter, and it did fine. Watered it once or twice. But most of my pots are put on the east side of the house, under some shrubbery, with bags of leaves or mulch surrounding the pots, and a layer of leaves on top, to shelter them from wind chill or temperature extremes.
sedum really is hardy. I had a division of autumn joy that I put down on some concrete steps and then forgot to replant..... for two years. It even put out some small blooms in the fall, even after most of the soil had washed away from around its roots.
yeah the unheated garage works fine, it keeps the plants safe from all the up/down temperature swings.
Three things can cause problems for overwintering plants in pots outside...
temperature - as noted, best success is with plants good for one or two zones colder than you... Also, larger pots are better than smaller pots. Also, temperature swings... when it warms up for a few days, the pots warm up faster than the ground, and plant may come out of dormancy prematurely... then a cold snap... you can end up on a see-saw... I put pots on the north side of the house for winter so they stay a more constant cold.
drainage/moisture - the soil freezes, and then the lip of the pot holds any extra mositure... this can cause rotting. Alternatively, you can tip the pot on its side.
3. critters - if you put leaves/pine straw, etc around /over your pots, sometimes voles / mice will nest there, and try to feed on the roots in the pots. (I've never had this problem, but others have)
If you go for the garage, you will still need to manage moisture... don't let the soil get dusty dry - you may need to add a bit of water every month or so, but do not overwater...
You can probably make many plants work, so long as they aren't fussy, and you're willing to do a few extra things.
Z5 northern MI
I've read that containers take away about 2 zones of hardiness. If you stick with things that are hardy 2-3 zones north of you, you can probably overwinter in large, weatherproof containers without doing anything special. Plants that are only hardy to your zone you will need to protect more with some of the methods discussed above.
bottom line..
you are too much of a neopyte.. to mess with pots ...
its like you want to start with the masters degree.. before undergrad ...
so the simple solution ... is plant a veggie bed ... how that for a tangent.. lol ..
in october.. when the veggie are all done.. clean the bed.. dig a trench ... and unpot.. and 'heal in' .. the plants.. and let mother nature take of them for you ...
as those above note.. its too much water in a pot in winter [wrong media or dirt] .. the garage being 2 zones warmer.. those 60 degree days in february.. when the garage hits 80.. and then that night its 20 below again ... and the fact that they come out of dormancy 2 or 3 months.. before they can go outdoors in z5 ... so you end up keeping the pots in the garage until near june..
this warm late winter .... is a prime example of why pots can be so problematic in z5 ...
and even better than healing them in.. is to plant them in permanent locations .. come September .. and be done with them ...
I overwinter at least 100 pots in my garage each winter, (at one time had 243) although the number is dwindling (but not as fast as I want it to!). They range from pots that are 24 inches in diameter to 4-inch pots to lily crates. My garage is unheated, and quite cold. I cover the windows to keep out the sun (which isn't a big deal as the windows face north and east), and I water the plants well before bringing them in, with maybe one watering (or shoveling of snow on them, if there is any snow) before bringing them out.
IMO, the tricky thing is knowing when to bring them in, and when to bring them out! You want to make sure they are dormant when you bring them in. This winter, honestly, most of the pots didn't make it in the garage. It was warm out until late-January, and at that point I didn't really bother, although I have in the past brought them in in January. This year the garage was too messy and I was too lazy, lol.
If you want to keep things outside in pots, for winter interest (evergreens, etc.) then I would go for something at least a full zone hardier, if not two. I did that one year with some red twig dogwoods and other small shrubs and it was nice to have them on my back patio.
Experiment with some hardier perennials if you want to try it first before committing to a lot of stuff. Daylilies, peonies, daisies, echinacea, hostas - these always come through with flying colors for me here in zone 6.
Good luck!
Veggie bed is a bad idea. There are way too many garden pest.
==>> are you missing the point.. or irritating me on purpose.. lol .. either is approved ...
you have a DEDICATED AREA ... for healing in plants in the fall ...
the veggie idea.. is just an alternate season use ...
i used to have an area behind the garage at the old house ... for just such winter healing ...
it was only about 6 by 4 feet.. you can stick a lot of stuff in a very small area.. since you intend to repot in spring .. before growth starts ... [and you might want to lay some hardware cloth over it to protect from vermin ..]

Amisha Gaundar: "The Book of Mormon Inspires!"
"The Book of Mormon has been and continues to be a source of inspiration in my life," says Amisha Gaundar of Sydney. Now a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Amisha grew up as a Hindu. She joined the Church twelve years ago when missionaries brought The Book of Mormon to her home and taught her family about it.
She was sixteen at the time. She and her mother, her two sisters and her brother, were baptized.
Like most members of the Church, Amisha studies The Book of Mormon as a companion scripture to The Bible. "I have a greater desire to improve and become a better person as I read it," she says, "and it truly brings me closer to God."
"Over the years I have learned about who I am, my relationship to God and His Son Jesus Christ, and the plan that God has for me and everyone. The Book of Mormon has given me needed direction and peace, and standards to guide and protect me."
"I wish everyone would read it." Amisha is not unlike most Mormons in her desire to give the book to friends.
Persons not of the Mormon faith who have a Latter-day Saint neighbour, acquaintance, or work associate have likely been asked, "Have you read The Book of Mormon?"
What exactly is The Book of Mormon? Click here for a brief video overview.
Mormons get their nickname from this volume of scripture that was first published 182 years ago this month in Palmyra, New York, USA. Its unusual origins, as told in the first pages of the book, have captured the attention of readers worldwide in dozens of languages.
But more compelling, as Amisha found, is the text itself. She served as a full time missionary for a year and a half in Salt Lake City, Utah, inviting others to read The Book of Mormon and then to ask God if it is true.
"That was the best year and a half of my life," says Amisha. "Everything I experienced and learned has helped me ever since. Though no longer an official missionary, I still pray to be able to share The Book of Mormon with others.
"Each of us individually can discover its great worth," she says. "It is a book for everyone."
Amisha's friends, Lionel and Marianne Walters, have been reading The Book of Mormon almost daily for over fifty years. "We see the relevance of its principles and doctrines in the present day," they say, "to remedy the ills of society. It also expands our knowledge that Jesus Christ truly is the Saviour of the entire world."

I feel like a broken record saying I've had a busy summer – lots of traveling to fun places on the weekends which has meant not a lot of grocery shopping or cooking during the week. But, healthy eating during the week is one of the keys to balancing my fun weekends so I really try to make it a priority.
This past week was mission: use up everything in my fridge.
With this random list of ingredients, I came up with three great, different meals!
Night #1: First, I sliced the vidalia onion and the bell pepper and sauteed them. They became the base for each meal. So picture some peppers and onions in a pan – here's what happened…
I removed 1/2 cup of the onion & pepper mixture and diced it. Then, I foraged in the freezer to get rid of some frozen veggies that had probably been in there for too long
I made some succotash, using frozen okra & corn and half of the fresh tomato mixed with the diced onions & peppers.
I loosely followed a recipe from Cooking Light but it didn't turn out that great honestly, so I'm not going to share – is anyone else not into the sliminess of okra?
Anyway, the sliced onions and peppers are still in the pan, remember? Half goes into a container and into the fridge. Half stays in the pan and mushrooms are added with a sprinkle of chili powder and cumin and then into the fridge.
Night #2: After broiling two corn tortillas in the oven for a few minutes, top them with the mushroom mixture and the cheese and broil again until the cheese is melted – tostadas! With an avocado boat on the side (just diced avocado, tomato, lime juice and sea salt tossed and put back in the avocado shell).
Night #3: And the rest of the onions and peppers? Just tossed with a grilled Italian turkey sausage, also from the depths of my freezer. :-)
And that is how a random list of ingredients turned into some yummy dinners!
This coming weekend is all about celebrating the bf's birthday – I'll be whipping up a yummy birthday treat for him but can't reveal what it is yet (in case he reads). Will share later. ;-)

14) The Movie Duels
Hell, there are no rules here – we're trying to accomplish something.
There's a story that on the November night in 1972 when HBO went on the air for the very first time to a few hundred subscribers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Gerald Levin – then HBO's top programmer and soon-to-be chief exec – ordered living room furniture installed in his office so he could watch that premiere night of HBO the way the channel's first subscribers would see it. He wanted to see HBO through their eyes.
Today, in an era of Netflix, Hulu, on-demand, downloadable content available on almost everything but the kitchen toaster, it's hard to appreciate how novel the concept of HBO was over 40 years ago. Except for a few small pockets of the country which had experienced the come-and-go efforts of earlier subscription TV services, nobody – including the people running »

Poster artist Jay Shaw has already made a name for himself by creating some of the coolest prints for Mondo, Gallery 1988 and more than a handful of other studios. While a lot of other artists feel the need to throw every single detail of a film into their posters, Shaw's style is a very unique one, typically focusing on an identifiable object from the film, and working from there.
By far my favorite artist working today, Jaw's posters are plastered across my walls at home, and it'd be an accurate statement to say that I was pretty stoked to spend a little bit of time speaking with Jay regarding his work with Mondo & Gallery 1988, how he got into poster design, and some of his favorite horror films.

A brugmansia bloom, I can't believe it!
honeybunny2(Z9TX)October 9, 2011
I went into the back yard to plant daylily plants that came in from Maryott's, I was carrying the dirt to the back, the smell was wonderful! I looked up and my original noid peach brugmansia had a few blooms. It has not bloomed for the past 2 years. Gosh, now I remember why I love this plant so much. Barbra
I'd love to see too! I have 6 remaining brugs, I dug up and threw away my peach versicolor which had not bloomed in 2 summers, not even a y this year. It was my oldest and I will not miss it. My double peach has been cut back for the year as it had no y (and no blooms) either, but it's only 2. My Santa Rosa, 2 cherubs and Heloise are loaded with buds! Can't wait!

The Legislative Council conducted some of the listed business on the day's agenda in the absence of the Opposition. It not only passed nine Bills as they were passed in the Assembly, but also adopted a motion to thank the Governor for addressing the Joint Session of the Legislature by headcount.
Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy admitted a notice moved by D.S. Veeraiah and Doddarange Gowda to remove Puttanna as Deputy Chairman.
Mr. Shankaramurthy, as Chairman of the Special Joint House Committee on the educational and cultural needs of Kannadigas living in the border areas, placed a mid-term report before the House. Three reports (10, 11 and 12) by the Public Accounts Committee for 2009-10 were also tabled.
Minster for Major and Medium Irrigation Basavaraj Boammai presented a summary note of the Krishna Waters Dispute Tribunal's final award. He said the Government would decide over the pros and cons of implementing the tribunal's award only after holding a high-level meeting with experts and leaders of the both the Houses of Legislature. The Chief Minister would chair the meeting, he added.
As the House assembled in the morning, the Opposition rushed into the well raising slogans and displaying a placard that carried a news headline in bold letters, published in an English daily, in the context of the reported High Court's view on alleged denotification issue pertaining to the Kempe Gowda Layout.
Quoting the headline, the Opposition termed the Government as "impotent." Amid the din, Janata Dal (Secular) leader M.C. Nanaiah in a pitched voice said that "Like Bheeshma of the Mahabharata, we too have no point in waging our war against Shikahndi."
As commotion prevailed, the Chair adjourned the House for 30 minutes.
When it reassembled, the House started passing Bills without any debate, the Opposition hurriedly entered the House and alleged that the Government was keen on conducting the business "through undemocratic, autocratic and shameless measures."
When the Chair did not pay heed to them, the Opposition staged a walkout for the day.

NYPD's Twitter Campaign Backfires 173

...well, there were batons.
This might be the first time in the history of the internet that a goatse link was actually informative.
Do some ride-alongs with cops and see the entire story.
A few friends of mine have. They said these new patrol cars have very little legroom, and that's it's very hard to sit comfortably with their hands tied behind their back.
and what punishment the officers received?
and what promotions the officers received?
To the NYPD, "community outreach" means a longer baton.
I don't know anyone who thinks the police "can do no wrong". Police are people just like the rest of us. The vast majority of them are stand up individuals who are honestly trying to help. The problem with these videos, is that they show a small fraction of everything police do, but have the effect of making it appear that all police are corrupt power hungry violent tempered men. So, as I've said before....comdemn those who misbehave and get them off the force, but stand behind those who risk their lives to make this a better and safer place to live.
It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65)

It was a good experience for me because everything on the menu was traditional Maltese and freshly cooked in their wood-fired oven. I really enjoyed the fresh bread, pizza and Carnival Cake!

The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI has given Rome an unexpected boost in its tourist numbers, the mail online reports.
Since the 85-year-old pontiff stunned the world with the announcement he is stepping down because of frail health, hotel bookings to the Eternal City have increased by a third over the equivalent few days last year, figures show.
The mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, has asked the country's prime minister for extra cash to handle the crush of pilgrims expected to flood the city, particularly from Wednesday, when the Pope officially resigns.
Many travellers are concerned that some of the Vatican's famous sights will be closed to tourists during the process to select a new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
Pope Benedict's successor will be decided in a process known as a conclave, a largely mysterious process that takes place behind closed doors at the Sistine Chapel, a popular attraction, beginning March 15.
Violation of the code of secrecy in a conclave can result in excommunication. Benedict is the first pope in 600 years to voluntarily step down.

Former Tepco executive Eiju Hangai, who quit the company a few months before the 2011 devastating tsunami and nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, has built a solar agricultural park near the power plant. The new Fukushima Recovery Solar-Agri Park, which is located about 25 kilometers from Fukushima, contains more than 2,000 solar panels and two air-inflated greenhouse domes. In addition to providing energy for local farmers to produce crops and vegetables, solar panels will also power 170 local households. The project aims to speed up the recovery process of disaster-affected communities in the area and help Fukushima in its effort to become completely self-sufficient by 2040.
The project occupies a 2.4-hectare site in Minamisoma City. The two solar-powered domes will facilitate hydroponic grow beds that will be used to produce vegetables. Temperature and humidity levels inside the greenhouses are kept at an optimal level via a computer system. And the unique wheel-shaped layouts of the domes will support an automated system that makes the Minamisoma greenhouse more efficient than the conventional ones. The rotating pockets with crops enable farmers to work from the center of each wheel when sowing and harvesting, which saves time and doubles productivity, claims Hangai.
Excess energy from the solar panels will provide enough electricity to power 170 households as a means to prevent the Tohoku Electric Power Company from building a new power plant in the region. "This means both components of the project are economically viable," said Hangai. "It can serve as a model for industrial recovery in the disaster-stricken area," he added.

The hotel staff was courteous. The room was very clean, colorful and well coordinated with furniture placement. The bed was comfortable which made for a great nights rest. The HVAC system is up to date & works great! I would definitely stay again.
I didn't like the fact I couldn't stay longer.

Hotel was clean and located on main road. Suite was furnished very well.
First night got spider bites while sleeping. Told front desk. They must have sprayed because no problems after that. The breakfast area was small and not set up very effecient. Guests bumping into each other. Very limited on the breakfast selection.

It is so very new, well maintained, friendly and efficient staff, comfy room, plenty of parking, great location.
The only minor complaint was housekeeping - always late and the room wasn't thoroughly cleaned daily, but since everything is new, that was OK.
Nice outdoor pool, BBQ facilities with lots of room - tables, chairs, local information, maps, etc., readily available, decent continental breakfast.

The location
The hotel was nothing like I expected. Clean, but too small! The breakfast left a lot to be desired. Juice machine wasn't working. Apparently they needed a water softener added to the machine. No jacuzzi and it was extremely average hotel.
Probably should have went to the LaQuinta for the same price.
