Eat With Your Eyes
Jeni began her career in hotels, working for an international 5* hotel group in South Africa. She moved to London in 1986 and worked for Leadenhall Wine Company, managing 3 of their restaurants and wine bars in the City.
In 1989, she joined Leith's Management to run the catering contract at a prominent City Law Firm and in 1997 went on to launch and manage the food service operations for Sutcliffe Catering at Barclay's Capital in Canary Wharf, a prestigious contract that set a new and exceptional standard in contract catering.
In January 2000, she moved to a sales role at Holroyd Howe and was appointed Business Development Director, taking their business from 18 contracts to 135. Jeni became Sales Director for Holroyd Howe Independent, when the company merged with BaxterStorey in 2008 and continued to contribute to the successful growth of their business for 3 more years.
She then joined Bartlett Mitchell as UK Sales Director before starting up her own business in October 2013. IJEss Consulting provides catering consultancy and strategic business development support for a number of corporate clients in the foodservice sector, with services ranging from transition management projects through to specialist food tours.
Paul Hurren is Managing Director of Lusso; the niche city and fine dining specialist business within the CH&Co catering group which delivers fine food to the employees of law, accountancy, insurance and banking firms both within the Square Mile and also in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester.
Paul joined Lusso in 2003, having previously worked at Avenance and since his arrival the company has experienced significant growth, as well as a four fold increase in clients.
Paul's passion for his role and for the industry and his single-minded dedication to making every dining experience memorable sets him apart. With Paul at the helm, Lusso has become one of the most respected and dynamic companies within city dining food service, with a well-deserved reputation for innovative and exquisite food, beautifully presented and faultlessly delivered with great service. Paul's team of professionals serve 8,000 meals each day to the hard working, demanding city workers at Blue Chip companies such as Investec, SJ Berwin LLP, Mulberry and Norton Rose.
Lusso's 2011 turnover was £16.5 million and the group employs 420 people across London and beyond.
Paul lives in East London and has three children. His interests include gardening, the theatre and great food and wine.
Kevin trained at Westminster College, London and qualified with an OND in Hotel and Catering Operations and later the HCIMA membership qualification.
Kevin then trained with the Savoy Hotels Group and undertook their Management Training Programme for a 2 year period.
He then moved to the Bank of England where he remained as Senior Catering Manager for almost 20 years. After a period with Harrison Catering and Chamberlain Restaurants, Kevin joined Elior in 2003 and has held Operation and Brand Manager positions and is currently working with the Marks and Spencer organisation in London.
Kevin is a past Chairman and a Fellow of ACE as well as being a Fellow of the Institute of Hospitality.
My career in this fantastic industry started when I took a part time job as a Hall Porter at Pennyhill Park Hotel, Surrey. This led to becoming a Commis Chef at the same hotel. Whilst at Pennyhill I completed a four year City and Guilds day release course at Westminster Kingsway College.
I made the transition from the kitchen into catering management with Gardner Merchant and benefitted from numerous training courses at the Kenley Training Centre. As with many people in this industry the operational experience I gained over my 'formative' years was very varied. This included catering management positions at Heathrow Airport, an Insurance company in Surrey, Syon Park, Twickenham, retail food courts with M&S, hospitality at Wimbledon, etc.
I then spent some time in business development with Pall Mall and then left a business development position at Initial Catering (Autograph) to set up a foodservice business called Blue Apple in 1998. Blue Apple has grown to an £8M company and has become an established business and industry operator.
As well as my ACE Chairmanship, I am one of the founding trustees of The PM Trust. This is a charity whose purpose is to provide financial assistance to young people embarking on a career in foodservice.
I was recently made a Fellow of the Institute of Hospitality. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my teenage kids, 'researching' leading restaurants, cooking at home and sailing when I get the time.
Sean is one of the industry's young leaders with a career structure that has encompassed major business development for client and employer alike. Before taking on the role of Managing Director and shareholder of the Aspire Group, Sean was Managing Director and shareholder of a retail focused hospitality company. He has also been Sales and Marketing Director for the second largest catering organisation in the world developing such keynote projects for Ascot Hospitality where he scored high success for his company via the creation of the Ascot Racecourse direct sales network. This innovation subsequently transformed the way in which catering was managed at Ascot — and in the process added several millions to the earning programme for both parties.
Throughout all of his working life Norman has been associated with all aspects of the Catering Industry.
Having graduated from the Scottish Hotel School at the University of Strathclyde, Norman gained practical hands-on experience with several companies within the then Trust House Forte Group including the Cafe Royal, Russell Hotel and various airports, before moving into Food and Service Management, holding various senior management positions within the Compass Group, Russell & Brand and the Pall Mall Services Group.
In between these moves Norman also managed to gain considerable experience of the Supply Industry having been Managing Director of AFE On Line — a national catering equipment wholesale distribution company.
Norman then went on to set up his own Food & Service Management Company, Goodfellows CMS Ltd, and developed the company to such a level that it was ultimately purchased by the Compass Group in 2004.
Since the acquisition Norman has been managing his own Catering Consultancy, GSS, as well as taking up a non-executive directorship role with Pride Catering Partnership Ltd.
Norman is a Past Chairman and a Fellow of ACE as well as being a Fellow of the Institute of Hospitality and an Associate Member of the FCSI.
Jon trained at Brighton Polytechnic and qualified with an HND in Hotel and Catering Management before entering a two year management training course with Whitbread.
A move to London lead to a seven year spell working with Sutcliffe Catering as General Catering Manager in a number of individual locations and finally as an Area Manager looking after a high profile group of City business.
It was during this time that Jon met Stuart Everson and the company they formed; Everson Hewett grew to become one of the strongest and recognisable niche independent caterers in London. The company continued to grow following its acquisition and integration into the Compass Fine Dining Division in 2005.
Following five years in the position of Business Development Director for Restaurant Associates, Jon formed Hewett Associates, a business focused on advising companies on their growth and client retention strategies.
Married to Cathryn with two young children, William and Anabelle, Jon lives in Hampshire and when not working, looks after animals including his loyal rescue donkey, Bertie.
Cathy often describes her work life as "If it wasn't my job, it would be my hobby". Since her first job at a Saturday waitress in the 'Orange Grove' in Southampton to now owning her own company 'WilcoxBurchmore' designing and installing commercial kitchens and restaurants.
Following my HND at Oxford Brooks, I worked in hotels until my first foray into staff catering, with what was then Grandmet Catering Services. I swiftly moved into the Design and Planning department and loved the fact that I could advise clients based on my own experience in kitchens, serveries and restaurants.
I have worked with some fantastic clients over the years — some who have become firm friends and stayed in touch, worked together as our careers have spanned the years.
I met Michael, my business partner in my last job and at 27; he brings youthful spirit, computer savvy and innovative design to our business. I've been introducing him to our truly wonderful business that engenders passion, enthusiasm and excellence; what a combination.
Being a committee member of ACE means I can give something back to the industry that I've been fortunate enough to work in during my career, and I love getting involved in the organising of the events and seeing the enjoyment it brings to our members.

In 1996 she joined Brakes in the junior ranks, and was promoted to National Account Manager initially in the Education Team, and then in the Contract Catering Team.
In 2003 she worked for Acquire, for 3 years, before returning again to be a National Account Manager but working for 3663 this time, mainly on the Prison Service Tender.
She is currently the Sales Controller for KFF, the largest, and longest standing SE based independent food wholesaler, and is a member of the Senior Management Team, reporting to the MD Chris Beckley.

His career in the contract sector began whilst working for Prue Leith, as Head Chef for Leith's Management at the prestigious Allen and Ovary law firm, at the time their largest City contract.

Sue Harrison
Director, Hospitality & Leisure Consulting
Sue first worked in hotels as a schoolgirl in Derbyshire before studying for a degree in Hotel and Catering Management at the University of Surrey. Her desire to train in 5-star hotel food and beverage operations led to an international career, culminating in opening new properties for a leading hotel group in South Africa, where she met her husband, Richard.
Returning to London in 1986, Sue worked for the legendary Michel and Albert Roux, initially as Contracts Operations Manager before also taking on responsibility for their restaurant operations as Group Operations Manager. During her five years with the Roux Brothers, she had the privilege of working with and helping to develop a rare pool of young, talented chefs, including Philip Howard, Michel Roux Jnr and (briefly) Gordon Ramsay.
In 1992, Sue was appointed to head the in-house catering team at the House of Commons as Director of Catering and Retail Services, a position she held for 20 years. During this time, Sue oversaw the expansion of catering services into 3 new buildings and a multi-million pound modernisation of the kitchen and back-of house premises in the Palace of Westminster, more than doubling customer numbers to over 8,000 a day. Growth of commercial services – particularly banqueting and retail souvenirs sales – led to Sue's appointment as Director of Business Strategy, responsible for developing income streams for the House of Commons and preparing the way for services to open to the public.
After a career spanning hotels, restaurants, foodservice operations and public sector, Sue decided in 2013 that the time was right to set up her own business. Hospitality and Leisure Consulting offers discreet and tailored services to businesses wishing to improve their operational effectiveness and individuals taking on new, strategic responsibilities within their organisation.
Sue has been a Trustee of the industry's benevolent charity, Hospitality Action, since 2004, was an external examiner at Manchester Metropolitan University for 4 years and is a qualified Programme Manager.

Chris Sheppardson
Chess Partnership
Chris is the founder of Chess Partnership and Chess Executive, which is one of the Industry's leading executive management recruitment concerns, with offices in London, Geneva, Edinburgh, Manchester and Nottingham. Chris was inspired to start his own business by a belief in the importance of individuals and in the principle of cultural fit within organizations.
"Most recruitment companies evolve around a database system, which is absolutely fine but in my eyes there is more to appreciate and understand. Recruitment is really about understanding culture, people and the market. Sounds simple but is really quite complex and ever changing, which makes it a fascinating business to lead."
Chris is also the editor and publisher of En Passant Magazine, which is circulated on a bi-monthly basis to over 6,000 industry professionals.
"The Hospitality Industry is never ever dull. It is full of the self-made who have worked via to success through trials and tribulations, of great creative talents, of extrovert and charismatic characters who are passionate and committed to the Industry. So often, the Industry talks itself down and let it actually has so much to talk about. Over the years, I have heard many marvellous tales of courage, of dedication, of humility and of belief. It is an Industry that can inspire."

Thoughts on the foodservice industry:
In the service industry people are clearly the most important asset. It is very much a "people business".
In any organisation every member of staff – no matter what position – has a point of view concerning the running of the business. Sensible management will find ways to coordinate and consider these views and bring them together, just as a conductor will draw his musicians together to perform a symphony. In doing so the management are likely to discover changes which can be made to make the business more effective. Successful companies use a team approach, drawing at the brainpower that exists at every level of the workforce, rather than only where it is institutionalised, at the top levels of management. "At the end of the day we would lock our team in the safe at the risk of leaving one's wallet on the kitchen table!"
In 2002 Sally Heavens and Professor John Child, members of the Centre of International Business and Management at the Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, wrote a case study book about Catering & Allied (the company we founded some 30 years ago). In it they relate how the determined application of two core values lead to business success i.e. "Total Commitment to Client Satisfaction no ifs no buts" and "People Working With You and Not For You" centred on imagining what should be rather than accepting what is possible and by not changing what is, but creating what is not.

Since making his debut with Reservoir Dogs 20 years ago, Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed one of the fastest-rising -- and consistently critically lauded -- careers of any director in modern Hollywood. He's back this weekend with the Jamie Foxx-led revenge fantasy Western Django Unchained, and the reviews are typically solid -- which means now is the perfect time to dedicate a feature to taking a fond look back at his earlier efforts. So cover the kids' ears and keep an eye on Marvin in the back seat, because this week, we're serving up Total Recall Tarantino style!
I grew up in a household that owned four Christmas albums -- Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, and the Boston Pops. And that was it. So part of what I enjoy about Christmas as an adult is the discovery of the vast thicket of vintage holiday music out there, from Pearl Bailey and Lena Horne to the Ray Conniff Singers and the Three Sons. Same deal with movies; I came of age in the 1970s, the golden era of It's a Wonderful Life being in the public domain and airing all day, every day, throughout the month of December. As I got older (and wrote the book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas), I was delighted to find that I had as many new buried treasures among Christmas films as I've had with music.
The rest of the heavy hitters Hollywood has planned for us in 2012 are being stored away until later in December, but Gerard Butler can't wait -- he's back in theaters this weekend with his latest rom-com, Playing for Keeps. Although its Tomatometer fate can probably be guessed by the fact that it isn't being screened for critics, don't feel too badly for Butler -- his filmography has plenty of critical highlights to fall back on, and this week's list offers proof. From period drama to family-friendly fantasy and bone-crunching action, he's stayed plenty busy over the last 15 years and change -- and now it's time to pay tribute, Total Recall style!
Over the course of his Academy Award-winning career, Ang Lee has crossed over from Taiwanese box office successes to American arthouse classics and Hollywood blockbusters, proving his hand with family drama, comedy, period pieces, epic martial arts action, romance, and even superheroes along the way. But up 'til now, he's never tried making a 3D adventure about a shipwrecked boy and his CGI tiger -- so in honor of this weekend's Certified Fresh Life of Pi, we decided to take a look back at Lee's wildly eclectic filmography, and came up with a list that has something for pretty much everyone. You know what that means: It's time for Total Recall!
For the last couple of years, Kristen Stewart has been The Twilight Saga's Bella Swan -- and the middle of one of the most hotly contested love triangles in recent pop culture history. The debate between Team Jacob and Team Edward reaches its senses-shattering conclusion this week, with the release of Breaking Dawn Part 2, but no matter which side you're on, there's no denying that Stewart's film career has always been about more than vampires and werewolves. Over the last decade, she's assembled a crowded, surprisingly eclectic filmography, and Breaking Dawn Part 2 is only one part of a busy year that also includes her turn in On the Road, debuting December 21; we decided to join in the fun by celebrating her work with this week's Total Recall. Without further ado, here are Kristen Stewart's best-reviewed movies!
There aren't many actors who have the depth and sensitivity to carry indie fare and enough charisma to lead a blockbuster franchise, but with one foot in the art house and the other firmly planted at the multiplex, Daniel Craig is one star who can have his Layer Cake and eat it too. With his third Bond outing, Skyfall arriving in theaters this weekend, we decided now would be the perfect time to take a fresh look at some of his critical highlights. However, our list doesn't count a handful of brief appearances and cameo roles that are also worth checking out.
Hollywood can't get enough of that state-of-the-art 3D CGI, but this weekend, Disney issues a proud tribute to our 8-bit past with the classic arcade throwback Wreck-It Ralph. If you're anything like us, Ralph's Q*Bert and King Koopa cameos will trigger long-buried arcade flashbacks, but even if you've never lost a quarter (or hours of your life) to a game, you've probably seen at least a few of the movies on our latest list. Yes, this week, we're paying tribute to movies whose plots hinge on video games, and you know what that means -- limber up your thumbs, because it's time for Total Recall!
Co-starring in a short-lived sitcom about cross-dressing friends generally isn't the most direct path to superstardom, but there's an exception to prove every rule -- only one, though; sorry, Peter Scolari -- and after racking up over $3 billion in domestic ticket receipts, winning a mantel full of awards (including back-to-back Best Actor Oscars), and starring in some of the best-reviewed films of the last 25 years, Tom Hanks has demonstrated that he's pretty darned exceptional. With his latest project, the Wachowski-engineered spectacle Cloud Atlas, arriving in theaters this weekend, we decided now was the perfect time to take another look at an impressive body of work by twirling the dials on the Tomatometer, making a list of Hanks' best-reviewed films, and playing Total Recall!
Most American filmgoers didn't know who he was prior to The Professional in 1994, but Jean Reno was already a C�sar-nominated titan of French cinema at that point -- and his filmography has only broadened in the nearly 20 years since, with comedies, dramas, and big-budget action pictures being added to the list along the way. With Reno making an appearance in this weekend's Alex Cross, we decided now would be the perfect time to take a look back at some of his brightest critical highlights, and you know what that means: It's time for Total Recall!
From junior soap star to Oscar-winning film actor, Saturday Night Live mainstay, and music video legend, Christopher Walken has carved out one of the most cheerfully inimitable career paths in Hollywood since making his screen debut nearly 60 years ago. This weekend, the amazingly prolific actor -- who's acted in nearly 30 films over the last 10 years alone -- pops up in Seven Psychopaths, so we decided to take the opportunity to take a fond look back at some of his most critically beloved performances. Break out your cowbells, it's time for Total Recall!
For 25 years and counting, Tim Burton has been one of the most successful directors in Hollywood -- and he's done it his way, presenting filmgoers with an ever-growing list of films that celebrate the strange and macabre, from comedies (Beetlejuice) to dramas (Big Fish) to thrillers (Sleepy Hollow), with a few stops for big-budget blockbuster fare along the way (Batman, Planet of the Apes). Heck, Burton's even proven his mettle as a director of animated fare (Corpse Bride) and served as a producer on at least one movie he didn't direct, but you probably thought he did (The Nightmare Before Christmas). This week, Burton brings his unique style to bear -- in 3-D, no less! -- on a feature-length, stop-motion animated expansion of his early short film Frankenweenie, and to celebrate, we decided to take a look back at his 10 best-reviewed films. Let's Total Recall, shall we?
He's been a television star, recording artist, wine cooler pitchman, and Idaho real estate tycoon, but Bruce Willis is best known for his films -- and his latest, this weekend's Looper, looks to be one of the most critically renowned of the year. Not too shabby for a guy who's been cranking out movies for 25 years -- and whose filmography includes some of the most beloved hits of the last quarter century. In honor of this latest achievement, we decided now would be the perfect time to take another fond look back at some of Mr. Willis' brightest critical highlights, and you know what that means... yippee-ki-yay, it's time for Total Recall!
He's done some pretty terrific work as a director -- in fact, we devoted a previous Total Recall to it -- but for our money, there's nothing quite like seeing Clint Eastwood squint and growl in front of the camera, so when we saw that he'd be starring opposite Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake in this weekend's Trouble with the Curve, we knew what we needed to do. If you like your guns big, your action mean, and your protagonists strong and silent, this list is for you. Do you feel like Total Recall? Well, do ya, punk?
Sequels! We love to complain about them, but clearly, we can't get enough of 'em -- or at least that's the message we keep sending at the box office, where they seem to take up a greater percentage of the grosses every year. Of course, nothing lasts forever, and when it comes to film franchises, the audience's fondness for the characters tends to run out around the third film -- but there are some notable exceptions, such as the Resident Evil series, which makes its fifth(!) trip to the big screen this weekend with Resident Evil: Retribution. In honor of this momentous achievement, we decided to take a look at other fifth installments, and came up with a list that's more impressive (and less reliant on horror sequels) than you might think. One, two, three, four, five: this Total Recall's working overtime!
In this weekend's The Words, Bradley Cooper plays a struggling young writer who stumbles across a terrific unpublished manuscript and makes the fateful decision to pass it off as his own -- an impulsively dishonest act that brings him the career success he's dreamed of, but triggers major consequences along the way. Of course, Cooper's character isn't the first to pretend to be something he isn't -- and with that in mind, we decided to dedicate this week's list to some of the many noteworthy plagiarists, imposters, liars, and frauds from films of the past. Lock up your valuables and don't believe everything you're told, because it's time for Total Recall!
Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy are the stars of this weekend's Prohibition drama Lawless, and we don't have anything against either of them -- but we're just as intrigued by the involvement of a certain Mr. Gary Oldman, whose (by most accounts too-brief) appearance adds another chapter to one of Hollywood's most fascinating careers. From indie flicks to blockbuster franchises, Oldman's done it all, and we knew we couldn't pass up the opportunity to look back on some of his filmography's brightest critical highlights. It's time for Total Recall!
Like the Pink Floyd song says, "I've got a bike/You can ride it if you like." With Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who was the subject of his very own Total Recall recently) pedaling like crazy for this weekend's Premium Rush, we decided now would be the perfect time to peer into the cinematic past and find some other pedal-powered films. It's probably no surprise that bicycles aren't exactly the greatest source of screenwriting inspiration, but that doesn't mean there haven't been a few noteworthy entries in the genre -- and besides, it's hard to complain when a list gives us the opportunity to write about Rad. Grab your helmet -- it's time for Total Recall!
He's been a bodybuilder, a bricklayer, a politician, and a restaurateur -- but for our purposes, Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been at his best when he's blowing stuff up in front of a camera, so it's with great enthusiasm that we greet his return to action in this weekend's The Expendables 2. Sure, Arnie isn't really the star of the movie, but with his political career putting his acting ambitions on hold for most of the last decade, we haven't had many chances to celebrate his greatness, and we couldn't resist taking the opportunity here. It's not a tumor, it's Total Recall!
Since making his big-screen debut in Love Story more than 40 years ago, Tommy Lee Jones has carved out one of the most eclectic, idiosyncratic career paths in Hollywood, going from soap opera star to cinematic leading man -- and appearing in an impressive array of critical and commercial successes along the way. He helped kick off the summer of 2012 with Men in Black 3, and now, with this week's decidedly more mature Hope Springs, he's helping usher it out; in appreciation of his efforts, we decided to dedicate this week's list to some of the many critical highlights from Jones' distinguished filmography. Get ready to squint into the distance and give us your best world-weary sigh, because it's time to Total Recall, Tommy Lee Jones style!
After many months of examining cinematic history under the Total Recall banner, our column meets its destiny this week with the release of Len Wiseman's Total Recall remake. Of course, we knew we needed to dedicate this week's list to recall -- specifically, movies featuring protagonists who have lost their memory. Amnesia is a popular topic for filmmakers, leaving us with enough material to make this a special super-sized edition that features examples from pretty much every genre -- and we're still sure we managed to (ahem) "forget" at least one of your favorites. It's the total partial recall you've been waiting for!

a personal pager device having third electronic means for receiving said first electronic signal and said second electronic signal, said pager device including a readout screen in electronic communication with a controller that displays a specific one of said first and second access areas of the residence structure or the motor vehicle in which an unauthorized intrusion has occurred, said pager device further including a timer in electronic communication with said controller for emitting a signal at the end of a predetermined period.
2. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said first electronic means includes a first microprocessor and said second electronic means includes a second microprocessor.
3. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said pager device includes a fourth electronic means for converting said first electronic signal and said second electronic to an alarm.
4. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 3, wherein said alarm is selected from the group consisting of a tactile alarm, a visual alarm and an audible alarm.
5. The security alarm and paging system according to claim 1, wherein said pager device includes means for disarming said first electronic means and said second electronic means.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/128,055, filed Apr. 7, 1999.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to security alarm systems. More specifically, the present invention is drawn to a system that immediately alerts a user when the user's motor vehicle or home security system is breached.
2. Description of Related Art
The use of security alarm systems for motor vehicles and homes is well known in the prior art. Most of the prior art systems are designed to emit a loud audible alarm upon intrusion of the vehicle or home. Unfortunately, the aforementioned systems have proven to be somewhat unreliable in that the loud alarm sometimes sounds even though no intrusion has occurred. The result of this scenario is that the alarms are frequently ignored by the public and are often viewed with annoyance. An alarm system designed to alert only the owner of the vehicle or home would be a welcome addition to the art.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,929,927 (Uhlin) discloses a surveillance installation to protect the perimeter of a particular area.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,814 (Quinones) and British Patent number 2,278,703 A show wrist attached devices for sending or receiving a monitoring signal.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,793,283 (Davis) relates to a pager theft prevention system for use with a motor vehicle. The system provides a method of tracing the vehicle by continuously transmitting a pager signal.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,229,744 (Ogura) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,488,351 (Hedayatnia et al.) disclose vibrator mechanisms for personal paging devices.
The Firstech, INC. brochure shows a vehicle security system having a visual readout.
None of the above inventions or patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to disclose a pager security alarm system for receiving signals from a home and motor vehicle as will subsequently be described and claimed in the instant invention.
The improved security alarm system of the instant invention provides for a personal pager device. In addition to conventional pager circuitry, the pager device of the instant invention also includes circuitry which links the pager to security systems of a motor vehicle and a residence.
To accomplish this, the vehicle and residence are each provided with an electronic control mechanism in the form of a microprocessor or the like. A number of sensors are positioned to monitor strategic areas of the motor vehicle and residence. Each sensor is designed to generate a signal to its respective control mechanism (residence or vehicle) when security of the particular sensor's area is breached without authorization. In turn, the electronic control mechanism transmits a designated electronic alarm signal via free space. An electronic receiver, in the form of a pager, is adapted to receive the alarm signal. The pager will transform the received electronic alarm signal to produce either a tactile, audible, and/or visual signal to alert the user. The produced tactile and audible signals will be distinct so that the user can differentiate between an alarm signal and a conventional paging signal. The pager is provided with an electronically operated readout screen which indicates which particular sensor area has been breached i.e. auto-hood.
The system of the instant invention will produce no loud vehicle or home alarms. The user, however, will know instantly and specifically when unauthorized intrusion has occurred.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved security alarm system for a home and motor vehicle.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved security alarm system that generates no loud and obtrusive audible signals.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a security alarm system which is incorporated in a personal pager.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a security alarm system which will instantly alert a user when a breach of security occurs.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which are inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing their intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is an environmental view of a pager security system according to the present invention when utilized with a residence.
FIG. 2 is an environmental view of a pager security system according to the present invention when utilized with a motor vehicle.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a pager according to the present invention.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 of the drawings illustrates a residence generally indicated at 10. Residence 10 is provided with sensors 12 positioned to monitor areas (doors, windows, etc.) that are potential targets for unauthorized intrusion. The sensors 12 feed into an electronic control mechanism 14 (microprocessor or the like). If unauthorized entry occurs in a particular area, the sensor monitoring that area will generate a signal to electronic control mechanism 14. Upon receiving the sensor generated signal, electronic control mechanism 14 will transmit a designated electronic alarm signal, via free space, to a device adapted to receive the alarm signal. Sensors 12 and electronic control mechanism 14 utilize electronic circuitry (not shown) which is conventional and well known in the art. Unlike prior art alarm systems, the system of the present invention produces no audible alarm at the residence.
Attention is now directed to FIG. 2 in which a motor vehicle is indicated generally at 20. Motor vehicle 20 is provided with sensors 22 positioned to monitor areas (doors, trunk, hood, etc.) of the motor vehicle which may be targets for unauthorized intrusion. Sensors 22 feed into an electronic control mechanism 24. Sensors 22 and electronic control mechanism 24 function in the same manner as sensors 12 and electronic control mechanism 14 when there is an unauthorized intrusion, in that mechanism 24 will transmit a designated electronic alarm signal, via free space, to a device adapted to receive the alarm signal. As at the residence, the system of the present invention produces no audible alarm at the motor vehicle when there is unauthorized intrusion.
A single device in the form of a personal pager 30 is designed to receive any alarm signal transmitted from mechanisms 14 and/or 24. As best seen in FIG. 3, pager 30 employs electronic signal receiver 32 for receiving the transmitted alarm signal. The received signal is transformed through a specialized controller 34 to produce a pager alarm, which alarm may be of tactile, visual or audible form. In its tactile (vibration) and audible (beeps) form, the pager alarm will be significantly different than the conventional pager signal so that the user is immediately aware that the situation demands attention.
Light sources 36 and 38 are employed as visual indicators. Green light 36 indicates an all clear condition. Red light 38 indicates that intrusion has occurred. Controller 34 also functions to create an LED readout 40 which identifies the sensor(s) generating the alarm. In addition to conventional pager control switches, an authorization switch 42 is included for deploying an authorization signal to the residence and/or motor vehicle whereby the alarm system is disarmed. Pager 30 is encased in housing 31 and may be carried in a purse or hung from a belt as desired. Controller 34 may also be employed as a timer which will emit a signal at the end of a set period. This feature is especially useful when parked at a parking meter.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Farm bill politics: Peterson 'surprised' by the way Bush Admin negotiated

Filtering and Sorting Directly in Data Tables
You can filter and sort the contents of a data table directly by calling a table's Select method. This strategy allows you to filter and sort only at run time. If you want to set up criteria for filtering and sorting at design time, and especially if you want to bind controls to the results of filtering or sorting, use a data view. For more information, see Filtering and Sorting Data Using Data Views.
When you sort directly in the data table, you do not reorder the contents of the table. Instead, you work with a result set representing the sorted records.
To filter and sort directly in a data table
- Call the data table's Select method, passing it up to three parameters:
datatable.Select(filterExp, sortExp, rowstatevalue)
The following table lists the parameter values.
Parameter Description filterExp A filter expression that should evaluate to true or false. sortExp A sort expression. This is typically the name of a table column, but can be any calculated value.Note For more information about the syntax of filter and sort expressions, see DataColumn.Expression Property. rowstatevalue A value indicating what version or state you want to filter on. The acceptable values for this parameter are members of the DataViewRowState enumeration, such as DataViewRowState.CurrentRows. For more information about row state and row version, see Introduction to Dataset Updates.
You can call the method with only the first or only the first and second parameters. To skip a parameter, pass an empty string as a placeholder.
The Select method returns an array of data rows.
The following example shows how to filter and sort the Customers data table in a dataset called dataSet1. The filter expression selects customers whose status is active. The sort expression causes the results to be sorted by the City column, and the final parameter specifies that you want to see only the current (that is, post-change) versions of the records. The sorted list is displayed in a list box that is assumed to exist on the form.
' Visual Basic Dim filterExp As String = "Status = 'Active'" Dim sortExp As String = "City" Dim drarray() As DataRow Dim i As Integer drarray = dataSet1.Customers.Select(filterExp, sortExp, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows) For i = 0 To (drarray.Length - 1) listBox1.Items.Add( drarray(i)("City").ToString ) Next // C# string filterExp = "Status = 'Active'"; string sortExp = "City"; DataRow[] drarray; drarray = dataSet1.Customers.Select(filterExp, sortExp, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows); for (int i=0; i < drarray.Length; i++) { listBox1.Items.Add(drarray[i]["City"].ToString()); }
The following example shows how to call the Select method to filter only on row state (skipping the filter and sort expressions), returning only deleted records:
' Visual Basic drarray = dataSet1.Customers.Select(Nothing, Nothing, _ DataViewRowState.Deleted) // C# drarray = dataSet1.Customers.Select(null, null, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);

@Trentworth @kphillips9936 Both cars would be a lot slower with a conventional manual transmission.
I haven't driven an r35, but I've driven an SLS a few times and once you get used to a good twin clutch box there is no way an old school manual box can ever compare - they're just sooooooo slow.
I'm sure most car guys dreamed of sequential boxes after they became common in racecars - well a twin clutch box gives you that functionality but is also quiet, has a decent lifespan, and is totally streetable, plus faster to boot.
I love shifting gears myself, but in a properly fast modern car it seems crazy to hamstring it with old-slow outdated tech.
@Mike Garrett They could've got nissan to design the exterior too. - Though I guess you can't see how ugly it is from the inside!
@Aaron ayala1320 About ten years ago WSR had one with a 13B turbo conversion!
Nice article, always an interesting experience to get to drive something you've dreamed about for years.
For me it was the Japanese rh9 gtr's and at the start of this year I got the chance to drive a friends r32 gtr of suitably silly spec, built rb26, t51r spl turbo, e85, 9500rpm...
@roryfjohnston @KLO101489 With the direction of the forces the belts will excert on the seat in an accident it's likely to break the seat - not good.
@rhysyeomans FIA (and afaik most other governing bodies) rules stated then (and still do now) that should the race be stopped the results are taken from the order the cars crossed the line on the last full lap completed.
So the victory was awarded to the rightful winner.
It has to be that way, otherwise if it was the order the cars crossed the line after the race had been red flagged, then you would have cars still racing after it had been deemed too dangerous to continue.
Having had the chance to drive an S8 with the 520hp version of this engine today I cannot wait for this to come out!

Lexus just unveiled the first images of its LF-CC Hybrid Coupe Concept, which will debut with the automaker's next-generation hybrid powertrain at the 2012 Paris Motor Show this month. Lexus' newest concept car continues the design theme of the LF-LC hybrid sports coupe that was unveiled earlier this year, but with more compact dimensions. According to Lexus, the LF-CC Hybrid Coupe Concept reinforces Lexus' commitment to creating high-performance vehicles with attractive design, a superior driving experience, and advanced technologies.
On the outside, the compact, rear-wheel-drive LF-CC showcases the latest evolution of the Lexus L-finesse design language, with perhaps the boldest interpretation of the signature Lexus "spindle" grille to date. It's not yet known how much of the concept's styling will make it into production, like the unique, 3 LED-projector headlamps and three-dimensional taillamps.
Lexus continues to offer a hybrid powertrain on most of its models and it looks like the next-generation IS will get one as well. The LF-CC is powered by a new Lexus 2.5-liter full hybrid powertrain that features an all-new 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine matched with a compact water-cooled electric motor. Adapted specifically for the hybrid powertrain, the engine benefits from several technical improvements. It adopts the Atkinson cycle and D-4S direct injection technology to optimize both the power and fuel-efficiency benefits of Lexus Hybrid Drive. Lexus will introduce this new hybrid powertrain into its model range in the near future.
Lexus will officially unveil the LF-CC Hybrid Coupe Concept at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.

LG Unveils CINEMA 3D SMART TV Line-Up at CES 2012
LG will unveil 3D products athe the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, led by the 55-inch 3D OLED TV and the 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV.
"The 3D and Smart TV revolution is just beginning and LG is committed to convincing consumers the world over that these technologies are the future, not just a fad," said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "We will once again showcase the excellence of CINEMA 3D, which has become the global standard for 3D. CES also presents a meaningful opportunity for us, as our CINEMA 3D Smart TVs strive to achieve the global No. 1 market share."
Large-Screen CINEMA 3D Smart TVs
LG will unveil a wider range of large-screen CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, spanning between 55 and 84 inches.
At the CINEMA 3D Experience zone, CES visitors will receive LG's latest CINEMA 3D glasses, which employ new designs, including curved lenses. Visitors can use a single pair of CINEMA 3D glasses to browse through a LG's 3D products, including CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, 3D monitors, 3D notebooks and 3D projectors.
Visitors to LG's 3D Game zone will experience 3D gaming via a range of 3D monitors connected to Microsoft's XBox Kinect. The new 3D monitors have been optimized for gaming, as evidenced in Dual Play, which allows two gamers to simultaneously play the same game on a single monitor without having to split the screen.
Also at CES this year, LG has prepared a room, where visitors can experience LG's 3D sound technology through LG's new home theater system. Viewers can feel 3D movements through the sound, as the sound output is synchronized with the movement of various on-screen objects.
Smart TV: Upgrade of NetCast, LG's Proprietary Smart TV Platform
LG claims that it Smart TV function offers access to 1,200 apps and a range of content services. NetCast, LG's own Smart TV platform, has been upgraded and an integrated search function has been added to allow easier access to content. In turn, popular search words can be used to search through LG's expansive Smart TV ecosystem. In addition to basic communication functions, social networking services (SNS) on LG's Smart TV now permit users to "share" and "like" what they're watching. NetCast will be the platform in approximately 60 percent of LG's flat-panel TVs introduced this year.
Another advancement in user convenience is the new Magic Remote. In addition to the familiar Point control mode, the new Magic Remote allows three additional modes: Voice Recognition, Magic Gesture and Wheel. Combined, the four control modes facilitate a more natural navigation and browsing. For instance, when performing searches, users no longer have to punch in each individual letter through on-screen menus, as Voice Recognition allows users to simply speak into the Magic Remote.
In addition, LG showed a camera accessory, similar to the Microsoft Kinect, that connects to the TV and allows for 3D gesture recognition.
It seems like TV makers had Apple in mind when designing the latest batch of smart TVs, especially in the area of device interactivity. It is apparent that at least some of these new capabilities may have been developed to compete with Apple?s possible entry into the TV market in late 2012 or 2013, as suggested by industry chatter.
At CES 2012, LG will unveil the Google TV. LG Smart TV with Google TV combines the familiarity of Google's Android OS with the convenience and comfort of LG's 3D and Smart TV technologies.
LG Smart TV with Google TV is easy to use, due to the combination of an Android-based user interface and Magic Remote Qwerty designed by LG, which combines the benefits of LG?s Magic Remote with a QWERTY keyboard.
The CINEMA SCREEN Design is featured in middle- and high-end 3D TVs from LG that will be launched during the first quarter of 2012. The CINEMA SCREEN Design reduces the bezel of 3D TVs to just one millimeter.
55-inch 3D OLED TV
LG claims that its OLED TV picture is superior to other OLED TVs thanks to its 4-Color Pixels and Color Refiner, which work together to generate natural and accurate colors. The 4-Color Pixels feature allows for more accurate color depiction by using a set of four colors (red, green blue and white) in comparison to the RGB setup used by other OLED TV manufacturers. Color Refiner ensures consistency in colors from a wider viewing angle via an LG algorithm which improves and refines hues and tones.
LG's OLED TV also exhibits an infinite contrast ratio and are 1,000 times faster than LED/LCD displays.
LG's 3D OLED TV is equipped with LG's Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) CINEMA 3D technology. LG claims that FPR-type 3D TVs cause less eye strain, while FPR-type 3D glasses are far lighter than active shutter 3D glasses.
The 3D OLED TV weighs a mere 7.5kg.
In contrast to LG's rival Samsung's RGB color approach for its
- Samsung emphasized that it is using RGB color patterning, meaning that it has made progress on organic material deposition techniques - LG's white OLED uses a color filter method.
84-inch 3D UD TV
LG's 3D UD TV
boasts superb picture quality on an 84-inch display panel. With 8 million pixels and four times the resolution clarity (3840x2160) of existing Full HD TV panels, the 3D UD TV provides the most convincing 3D viewing experience currently available outside of a movie theater.
It features LG's Slim and Narrow Bezel Design as well as 3D Depth Control, which allows users to control the 3D effect. In addition, the 3D Sound Zooming provides users with 3D sound that rivals home theater systems, according to LG.
Via the display panel, users can access LG's Smart TV ecosystem, which comprises over 1,200 apps and gives users access to premium content services such as the 3D Zone where viewers can select from a wealth of 3D movies. The imbedded 2D to 3D conversion engine expands the availability of 3D content. Users can browse and navigate the Smart TV ecosystem using LG's new, Magic Remote, which now recognizes four different types of command input: Voice Recognition, Wheel, Magic Gesture and Point.
3D IPS Monitors
LG will also unveil several series of 3D IPS monitors featuring viewing angles of 178 degrees without any changes in color or sacrifice in color consistency.
The 27-inch DM92 series leads LG's 3D IPS monitor line-up. With the application of LG's CINEMA SCREEN Design, the DM92 series is equipped with a bezel that is just one millimeter wide. Additionally, the 3D IPS monitors consume roughly 25 percent less energy compared to existing IPS monitors.
The 23-inch DM82 series exhibits a chic design, employing a metallic neck supported by a square, slim base. LG says that the 3D display quality is among the industry's best, with superior color tone from any viewing angle. Other features include 7-watt built-in speakers.
The 27- and 23-inch DM52 series offers efficiency in a flexible package. Combining 3D with IPS, the DM52 series comes equipped with a range of connectivity features, such as HDMI and USB, for content-sharing with external devices.
Optimized for 3D, LG's D43 monitor offers a host of new technologies and features. The monitor promises bright 3D images as well as SUPER Resolution and vivid colors through the 3D effect mode. The D43 converts 2D content into 3D without any additional software. A 3D hot key enables users to adjust and control the depth of 3D images.
LG's new 2012 IPS monitor line-up will be available globally starting February 2012.

My Master/Detail form uses an unbound DataGridView to list Customers that match the filter Master section) selecting a row (RowEnter) in the DataGridView populates the detail section with values. I have a working Save button, that saves the form, rebinds the datagrid and then resets the form. The problem is updating the DataGridView when the detail change, now the bind method gets as far as dataGridView1.Rows.Clear() then exits but gives no error.
I need to get the form to save and the grid to update, also I need to understand why what I've currently got doesn't work.
private void dataGridView1_RowEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
DataGridViewCell dgc = dataGridView1["ID", int.Parse(e.RowIndex.ToString())];
Guid customerID = Guid.Parse(dgc.Value.ToString());
if (IsPageValid() && dataGridView1.Focused)
if (KeepChanges())
Customer = _customerRepo.GetByID(customerID);
The idea is that the form is loaded and a customer selected, some details are changed on the form and then a new customer is selected (another row is selected in the grid) and there are uncommitted changes. IsPageValid checks whether the details on the form would create a valid Customer. KeepChanges returns from a MessageBox YesNo ("There are changes to this record. Do you want to keep them?") If the user clicks Yes then SaveForm() is called to persist the details. Then BindDataGrid(string.Empty) is called. Everything is fine up to this point, BindDataGrid(string.Empty) is called on Form_Load(), but this time when the line dataGridView1.Rows.Clear() is hit the debugger stops and control is returned to the program, none of the code beyond that point in the method is executed and I can't work out why.
public void BindDataGrid(String filterText)
var customers = String.IsNullOrEmpty(filterText) ? _customerRepo.GetAll() : _customerRepo.GetFiltered(filterText);
dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 5;
dataGridView1.Columns[0].Name = "ID";
dataGridView1.Columns[0].Visible = false;
dataGridView1.Columns[1].Name = "Name";
dataGridView1.Columns[2].Name = "Address";
dataGridView1.Columns[2].FillWeight = 300;
dataGridView1.Columns[3].Name = "Phone";
dataGridView1.Columns[3].FillWeight = 80;
dataGridView1.Columns[4].Name = "Mobile";
dataGridView1.Columns[4].FillWeight = 80;
foreach (var customer in customers)
String address = String.IsNullOrEmpty(customer.Address.Street) ? "no address" : String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", customer.Address.Street, customer.Address.Town, customer.Address.County, customer.Address.Postcode);
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(customer.ID, customer.ToString(), address, customer.Address.Phone, customer.Mobile);
I have tried changing this to use a DataTable, setting the DataBinding to null and using a DataBinding object, but they all seem to run into the same problem. The DataGridView does not seem to update or allow updating. This, from the designer.cs file, doesn't seem to have anything that's preventing me as far as I can tell:
// dataGridView1
this.dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.AutoSize;
this.dataGridView1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 4);
this.dataGridView1.Name = "dataGridView1";
this.dataGridView1.ReadOnly = true;
this.dataGridView1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
this.dataGridView1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(736, 330);
this.dataGridView1.TabIndex = 5;
this.dataGridView1.RowEnter += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventHandler(this.dataGridView1_RowEnter);
