"I ordered these thank you cards in the Chenille color (blush pink). When the cards arrived and we folded them the blush pink is hardly noticeable and looks almost white. Other than this the card is very nice. the color just seems a bit more pink on the computer than in person."
"This thank you card was perfect- elegant and classy. It's a great way to personalize your thank you's with pictures from the big day!"
"These cards are perfect, printed on quality paper and delivered with quality envelopes. We've gotten many compliments on them. The layout for the design is great, I recommend not changing much and just inserting your picture and names!"
"Thank You cards that matched my wedding invitations! They had the same foil stamp and our names were large and easy to read. They were the perfect size for a short, sweet, and to-the-point note. The stripes on the back really broke up the monotony of a plain white card."
"My own fault for not reading the size before ordering- but the thank you cards are a bit small- at least I wont feel like I have to write too much!"

The German Panzerwerfer is one of two different types of half-tracked multiple rocket launchers employed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. The two self-propelled artillery vehicles are the 15 cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 (based on the Opel Maultier, or "mule", half-track) and 15 cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper (or Panzerwerfer auf SWS).
The Panzerwerfer 42 auf Maultier weighed 7.1 tonnes, was six meters long, two meters wide, and nearly three meters high. It was capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h. One of these half tracked vehicles generally carried a Nebelwerfer 41 launching system, which was specially designed to be mounted on the Opel-engine powered Panzerwerfer. The German engineers designed this system because of the conspicuous trails of smoke left behind by the Nebelwerfer batteries, which necessitated a self-propelled artillery piece for quick relocation after firing. The system contained 10 missile tubes, and generally carried 20 projectiles, enough for the vehicle to fire two full salvos.
Though intended to provide fire support and operate well behind the point of contact, some Panzerwerfers also had a machine gun mounted above the cab for protection against infantry attack.
Known as the "Screaming Mimi" by Allied soldiers for the distinctive noise the rockets made when fired, it was less accurate than a dedicated artillery piece, but its ability to saturate an area with fire and strike terror into enemy infantry made it valuable. It saw widespread use during the war.

Cristiano Ronaldo believes " Real Madrid have a better team" than Manchester United ahead of the two sides' clash in the Champions League . Ronaldo will come up against his former club for the first time since trading England for Spain in a world record ôÈ80million move in 2009 when United visit the Bernabeu in the first leg of the last 16 next week. The reigning Primera Division champions are struggling domestically this season and lie 16 points behind fierce rivals Barcelona , while the Red Devils are currently cruising at the top of the Premier League. Despite the teams' contrasting forms, Ronaldo will be in positive mood against Sir Alex Ferguson's men although he was quick to sound a note of caution. "I believe things will go well. In my opinion Read Madrid have a better team, but we have to show that on the pitch because United are a very united team and always have been in recent years," he said to the official UEFA Champions League magazine.

I was hoping for some advice out there... I have a wonderful five month old who, since day one, seems to not need the normal amount of sleep of a regular baby. He rarely naps, and typically stayed up late until midnight or so. Recently, we have decided to get him on a schedule, doing all the right things- pablum feed, bath, book, breast then bed. We finish up this routine at 8:30 pm or so and he is exhausted- all the right cues for him to go to sleep. Instead, he cries for three hours plus. It is not hunger, or pain, or gas- he just wants to be held and awake. Does anyone have any suggestions? We know he needs more sleep than he gets, and he seems to fight it.
Once he falls asleep, he usually sleeps through the night, and typically since he was born, throughout the night will feed and go back to sleep right away. We have tried CIO, but it will go forever. Bouncing, wallking, singing, belly rubbing, even gentle talking with no eye contact does not work.

|Isn't there a better way to learn how to make good decisions than making bad decisions? Wouldn't life be a little better if we could make better decisions the easy way vs. the hard way? Who wants to choose between the lesser of two evils? How can we make better decisions?
A very successful CEO was about to retire and the board passed over some likely successors to choose a very energetic young man as the new CEO. He was delighted but a little anxious about the appointment so he went to the retiring CEO to ask what was the key to his success. The old gentleman said without hesitation, "Two words—Good Decisions!"
How do you make good decisions? One Word, "Experience!" But how do you get experience? Two words, "Bad decisions!"
Isn't there a better way to learn how to make good decisions than making bad decisions? Wouldn't life be a little better if we could make better decisions the easy way vs. the hard way? Who wants to choose between the lesser of two evils? How can we make better decisions?
Your decision is only as good as your best option. Therefore, if we are going to make good decisions it behooves us to have a clear understanding of our options. In Romans 6, the Apostle Paul says that when it comes to the question of human freedom we have two basic options.
Paul puts it to us this way in Romans 6:16 (my paraphrase), "Don't you realizethat you can choose your own master? You can choose to serve Satan by sinning or you can choose to serve the Savior by obedience—the one to whom you offer yourself, he will take you and be your master and you will be his slave." What is Paul saying: We have two and only two options: We can choose to serve Christ or Satan.
What are the results of serving one or the other?
If Christ is our master, what are the results? Serving Christ enables us to experience the abundance life that Christ came to give and it results in the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, patience, self-control.
If Satan is our master, what are the results? We may not realize it, but when we sin, we are doing Satan's will—he wants us to sin. When we are a slave to Satan we do have some options as to the particular sins that will enslave us.
Paul says in Galatians 5:19-21, "When you follow your own wrong inclinations, your lives will produce these evil results— impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry—worshiping something other than the one and only true and living God, hatred, fighting, jealousy, anger, the constant effort to get the best for yourself, complaints and criticisms, the feeling that everyone else is wrong except those in your own little group, and wrong thinking."
Whenever we focus on ourselves, we begin to develop unbiblical or wrong thinking.
It's extremely important that each one of us understand that real freedom is not the right to do what you want but the power to do what you ought. Jesus said, "If you continue in My Word you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free" (John 8:32).
In John 8:32, Jesus said that the formula for freedom is as follows:
One of the most important things we can do as Christians is to learn to please God more and more. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4:1 "Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more." All of us need to be concerned about pleasing God in all that we do!
We can learn what displeases God and then do the opposite. There are two ways that the Scripture says that we cannot please God:
What is the opposite of being controlled by our sinful nature? Being controlled by our new nature. We are controlled with our new nature when we learn to yield our‑
selves to the control of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18). We could say that when we are controlled by the Holy Spirit, we cannot help but to please God because He is the one who is controlling our lives. It's by exercising our wills to be faithful in practicing what God commands that we come to know the truth of Jesus' claims.
What is the opposite of living without faith? What is the opposite of being a cynic and a doubter? One who walks by faith and not by sight—one who trust in God with all his heart and does not rely on his own insight—one who acknowledges God in all his ways! (Prov. 3:5, 6).
God has ordained faith to make up for our lack of sense. Why does God want us to trust Him? Three reasons: He is, by far, more powerful, more loving and more intelligent than we are. Further, "Everything that God does is worthy of our trust!"
Another way we can learn to please God is to learn what God hates and do the opposite. God hates all sin, but Proverbs lists several things that God particularly hates:
A third way that we can discover what it means to please God is to learn how to love God more and more. Not only are we to trust God, we are also to love God. We will never understand much about His love until we have experienced something of His forgiveness. For the Bible says, "He who has been forgiven much, loves much." If you want to learn to love God more than you need to realize just how much you have been forgiven and what it cost God to forgive you — the shed blood of Christ.
And practically speaking, how do we express our love for Him? Jesus said in John 14:21, "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." Obedience is not optional; God demands it and expects it.
Obedience is not natural—it only comes through grace. Obedience is never harmful, rather it is the only guarantee of happiness.
Where does obedience begin? It begins when we have the heart to say "Yes" to God. We are free to obey out of love, not necessity, out of God's power and not our own. God is at work within us both to will and do His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13).
The Bible says that God's commandments are not burdensome (1 Jn. 5:3). Is that true? For some people they are burdensome.
When and for whom are God's commandments not burdensome? They are not burdensome for a Christian who loves God and has a desire to please Him. We all know, don't we, that human nature is such that, when we are told we have to do something, we often choose to do just the opposite.
I once talked with a man who was a professing Christian who was raised in a Christian home and was absolutely convinced that salvation was by faith plus works. He believed that if we failed to obey God in some way that we would lose our salvation.
I explained that we were not saved by good works but for good works and that is the difference between day and night (Eph. 2:8-10). Not only are we free to obey when we love—when we want to (and not because we have to), but we are also free to obey when we operate by God's power and not our own.
The good news is that God gives us the freedom to obey by giving us the knowledge, desire and power to please Him. He gives us the knowledge of how to please Him through His Word and He gives us the desire and ability to please Him through His Holy Spirit.
Martin Luther, in the hymn "A Mighty Fortress is our God," says, "Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing...." Another hymn says, "The arm of flesh will fail you, you dare not trust your own." Since those who are controlled by the sinful nature can't please God, we must live by God's power and the way we do that is:

Culpepper loses home in foreclosure
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)
Former NFL quarterback Daunte Culpepper has lost a Florida home he owned to a bank in a foreclosure case.
2013 NFL SCHEDULECheck out the full slate for next season.
Broward County court records show the nearly 10,000-square-foot home was surrendered in April to SunTrust Bank in lieu of foreclosure. The bank dropped its lawsuit against Culpepper earlier this month.
Culpepper bought the house for about $3.6 million when he was signed by the Miami Dolphins in 2006. The bank cited $3 million in debt in court papers. Records show Culpepper still owns another home in the suburb of Weston.
Besides the Dolphins, Culpepper played for the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions. He last played in 2010 for the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League.
The foreclosure was first reported by the South Florida Business Journal.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Aaron Pflugrad is ASU's 'playmaker'
It wasn't a major move -- maybe a few feet, but it has produced major results, so far.
Through two games, Aaron Pflugrad leads all ASU receivers in catches (11), yards receiving (230) and touchdowns (4), results head coach Dennis Erickson was hoping for when he decided in the spring to move the senior from the slot receiver position to an outside wide receiver; a decision Pflugrad more than welcomed.
"In the offense [being on the outside] gives you a little bit of ability to run some more routes opposed to inside," Pflugrad explained. "I still enjoy and I like playing inside, but in this offense outside there are a lot of man-to-man routes and that's where I feel my strength's at."
No other Sun Devil player has more than six catches and Gerell Robinson is more than 100 yards behind as the second leading receiver.
Pflugrad's success does not surprise quarterback Brock Osweiler. The pair spent quite a lot of time together over the last two years.
"[He] was a guy that whenever I wanted to throw extra routes during the summer he wanted to run extra routes. He would call me. I would call him. So that relationship really started to build then. And then last season he was my roommate on the road (and) for home games in the hotel. We really took that into this offseason. We were complete workout partners. We'd go and run South Mountain every morning together. He would never miss an optional throwing session I would have. He would always be there. He would come in and watch film with me.
"What Aaron did this offseason," Osweiler continued, "especially in the summer months was something that I've never seen from a football player in my life. I just call him 'little machine.' He was like a robot. Nothing could stop him. That just goes to show: nothing can stop hard work."
Erickson this week called Pflugrad a "maniac workout guy."
The work has definitely paid off.
Against Missouri, Pflugrad finished with a career-high 180 yards -- the most yards receiving by a Sun Devil since Derek Hagan had 182 yards in the 2004 Sun Bowl, while catching two touchdowns for the second straight game.
"That felt good to have a big game like that," said Pflugrad, who's already doubled his scoring total from last season. However, he's not satisfied. "I just got to keep it going every week and continue to work hard even when the balls aren't coming my way and just try to make plays when they throw me the football."
Added Erickson, "Football is so important to him that everything he does in his life is to become a great football player. He's worked very hard to get where he's at. Obviously physically stature (5-10, 180-pounds) he's not probably what you see a lot. He's a playmaker."

US jobless claims fall to new three-month low
Published on Mar 13, 2014 8:42 PM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly fell and hit a fresh three-month low last week, suggesting a strengthening in labour market conditions.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 315,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That was the lowest reading since late November.
Claims for the week ended March 1 were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast first-time applications for jobless benefits rising to 330,000 in the week ended March 8.

Zullo frames coming to the UK - now with extra pics
From the shores of Lake Garda to you, via the fin de siecle...
We've seen and admired Tiziano Zullo's hand-built frames both at Eurobike and the European Handbuilt Bike Exhibition so we're pleased to hear the news that Mosquito bikes are going to bring them into the UK for the first time. Mosquito Bikes owners Roger and Phil visited the Zullo workshop in Castelnuovo del Garde on the shores of Lake Garda and have closed a deal to act as the Zullo retailer for the UK.
Tiziano Zullo was born in 1952 in the North of Italy. He started racing at the age of fourteen and in the early seventies came into contact with the world of frame building through some of the Italian builders. He began building frames, under his own name and for larger brands, and in 1978 he started to export the Zullo brand. By 1985 he was the frame supplier of the Dutch TVM team, a relationship that lasted until 1992. Zullo frames were ridden on the Milan San Remo, the Northern Classics and the Tours De France, Giro díItalia, La Vuelta and World Championships. He experimented with Aluminium and still has a custom Carbon frame but the range is still predominantly steel.
The Zullo range comprises both lugless and lugged steel frames using Columbus and Dedacciai tubing. Stars of the range include the Inqubo, a lightweight Dedacciai 16.5 tubed lugless race frame, the Vergine, Columbus XCR stainless steel race and sportive frame and the Pista 85 lugged track frame. There's also the Metro, a twin top tube singlespeed urban offering, and a TVM 1991 replica frame complete with that 1990s paintjob that can only be described as, well, extraordinary.
All framesets are handbuilt to either custom or stock sizing (no extra for custom). For futher info head over to www.mosquito-bikes.co.uk or check out Zullo's own website at www.zullo-bike.com
Lovely frames. Shame that I associate the TVM team with the worst excesses of drug taking in cycling.

Replacing Adam Gilchrist was never going to be an easy task for Brad Haddin, but the Canberra product has served his country with aplomb for almost 15 years.
Having compiled an impressive international resume, Haddin's career was at a crossroads in 2012 when personal issues saw him step down from Australia's tour of the West Indies.
But the veteran returned to international cricket with a bang in 2013, marking his elevation to the vice-captaincy with a record-breaking performance in Australia's Ashes whitewash.
Haddin passed 50 six times in eight innings against England and also completed 22 catches in a near flawless display behind the stumps.
Along with Darren Lehmann and Michael Clarke, Haddin has also been credited with the regeneration of the Australian team's culture that led them back to the world No.1 ranking.

For a communication to be established two free paths are searched and, if available, established, each through a divided subnetwork or subswitch. Normally the network as a whole is nonblocking while each subnetwork or sub-switch is blocking. If during operation, one subnetwork or subswitch becomes inoperative due to failure or maintenance, the path through the other one remains operative. If only one path is found available for communication establishment, only one path is established. A validation column in the time-division address memory of each subnetwork is provided for validating one or the other path.

ADDRESS MEMORY Sheet 2 of 2 US. Patent Nov. 18, 1975 DIVIDED TIME-DIVISION SWITCHING NETWORK BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to time-division switching networks for transmitting PCM speech signals and, more particularly, to network control systems which are divided at least in part into two separate branches or sub-networks.
2. Description of the Prior Art Time-division switching networks are well known. Such networks may constitute portions of local or toll exchanges. They are designed for processing a large number of ingoing or outgoing channels and include, at least, a time-division switching stage and a space-division switch. Each time-division stage is formed by parallel independent time-division groups, those groups being connected to the same space-division switch. Each time-division group essentially includes a control memory having a number of lines usually equal to the number of the time-division network elementary times and a speech memory having a number of lines usually equal to the number of group channels. The number of ingoing or outgoing channels in each group is often equal to the number of network elementary times. However, such a number may be different and, in particular, equal to the half of the network elementary time number.
Each space-division switch may include a number of cascaded stages.
It is known that large time-division switching networks may easily be designed as nonblacking networks without requiring a large increase in the component number if compared with a corresponding blocking network.
The security of networks of this type requires duplication which generally is not desired for financial reasons. Therefore, networks divided in parallel branches or independent subnetworks have been designed at least with respect to certain parts of such networks. Such a principle applied to a space-division switch in a large time-division network has been described in the French Pat. application No. 71/36594, corresponding to US. Pat. application Ser. No. 291,995, filed Sept. 25, 1972 in the name of A. Regnier, K. Kevorkian and J. P. Lager, now US. Pat. No. 3,851,105.
In that case, the independent sub-networks have common inputs and outputs so as to be able to process the traffic by use of load-sharing. Often, for financial reasons, those sub-networks are not designed to be nonblocking and only the network to which they contribute is possibly nonblocking Such a network division makes it possible to insure better operating security without increasing the component number, since a failure in a sub-network blocks only the concerned subnetworks and not the network as a whole.
In case of failure in a sub-network or maintenance people intervening in that sub-network, several solutions are possible. The simplest one consists in dropping all the communications flowing through the concerned sub-network. However, that is not desirable at all because of the demand overloading which may occur.
Another possible solution consists in restoring in the operative sub-network the communications which had been or must be moved by a rearrangement method which permits retrieval of those communications, such a methodis relatively and excessively complex.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To overcome those drawbacks, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a control system for dividing a time-division switching network making it possible to establish simultaneously two interchangeable switching paths, each path being respectively located in a different sub-network.
Thus, in case of a break in a switching path, the communication is transmitted on the other path which avoids any failure for the subscriber provided that the establishment of two paths is possible.
According to a feature of the present invention, there is provided a control system for a time-division switching network, which is in part divided into two parallel, preferably identical sub-networks designed for processing on a load sharing basis, at least in the concerned part, all the communications transmitted by the timedivision channels connected to the network, such a network includes first means for reserving a first path for each communication in either of the two sub networks, second means for reserving to a possible extent a second path for each communication and a sub-network in addition to the first path reserved for that communication in the other sub-network, and third means for selectively authorizing the transmission of a communication by either'of the two paths reserved for that communication when they coexist.
According to another feature of this invention, the control system includes in addition fourth means for suppressing the reservation of one of the two paths reserved for and established communications in favor of a communication under establishment, if the communication under establishment has no other available path.
According to another feature of this invention, the control system also includes transfer means associated to the third means for only activating the paths only established in a same sub-network, if necessary, in particular in the case of maintenance people intervening in a sub-network or in the case of failure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Other features of this invention will appear more clearly from the following description of an embodiment, the said description being made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a time-division switching network, partially divided at the level of the space division switch,
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a time-division switching network, divided into two sub-networks having their inputs and their outputs in common respectively, and
FIG. 3 shows a matrix address memory.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a time-spacetime division network has been considered, such an ing channels. Such a network basically includes an input time-division stage made of groups 1 with 64 such groups in the described embodiment a space division switch that is divided in two sub-switches and 6, and an output time-division stage made of groups 2 with 64 such groups in the described embodiment so that in FIG. 1 appear an input time-division group 1, an output time-division group 2, and the two sub-switches 5 and 6.
Conventionally, each input time-division group comprises a time division address memory 7, a speech memory 10, an input circuit 12 for entering the timedivision switching network and a logic circuit 13 for updating the timing on the ingoing channels.
In the described embodiment the time-division switching network input circuit 12 involves eight junctions, each comprising 32 time-division channels, and thus provides multiplexing for 256 channels.
Therefore, the speech memory of group 1 includes 256 rows which may be addressed either from the time-division address memory 7 or from the logic 13, via an OR gate 9. In the described embodiment, the memory 7 includes 512 address rows in such a manner that the network, as a whole, is a nonblocking network. Each row of memory 7 is read out at one of the network elementary times and is loaded by the network processing computers 3. The transfer of the time-division addresses stored in the memory 7 is conventionally transformed via an output register 8 and under control of the exchange clock 4 which the involved network belongs to.
For each channel, the bits are transmitted, via the speech memory 10 to the space-division switch, via a register 11. The register 11 is connected to an input 32, common to the two space division sub-switches 5 and 6, such an input comprising as many liaisons as there are bits to be transmitted in parallel for each operation concerning a communication. In the described embodiment that number is eight.
In the described embodiment, the two sub-networks 5 and 6 comprise 64 inputs and 64 outputs and together constitute a nonblocking space-division switch, each one being theoretically capable of processing all the traffic but each consequently being a blocking network.
In the described embodiment, each sub-network comprises three cascaded stages, i.e. the first stage 14 or 20, the second stage 15 or 21, and the third stage 16 or 22, each comprising eight matrices, each matrix having eight inputs and eight outputs.
Each sub-switch stage has a cross-point address memory or matrix, such as 61 (FIG. 3). That memory has as many rows as elementary times, i.e. 512. It is divided in as many vertical blocks as matrix outputs, i.e. eight. Each block has as many columns, such as 48, as bits necessary for addressing a cross-point which may be connected to that output, and, in addition, a validation column, such as 56, controlling the cross-point op eration. The cross-point address memories are loaded via computers 3 and read out under control of the exchange clock 4. Those circuits constitute the main control system circuit as far as the space-division part is concerned.
Each output time-division group 2 has a configuration substantially identical to that of an input group and includes a time-division address memory 27, a speech memory 28 and an output circuit connected to eight junctions of 32 channels.
Each group 2 is connected to an output common to the two sub-switches 5 and 6, that output transmitting the transit bits to the switch memory 28 according to addresses provided from either clock 4 or memory 27, via OR gate 31.
In a conventional manner, the bits constituting the speech sample of a communication established through a time-division channel are received at time t0 via the input circuit l2 which that channel is connected to. The eight bits are sent to the switch memory 10, possibly after timing through the logic 13 and are stored in a row the address of which is stored in the timedivision address memory 7.
At time t1, the bits corresponding to that address are transmitted to OR gate 9 under control of clock 4 so as to address that row of speech memory 10 which stores the speech sample received at time t0. Then the speech sample received at time t0 is transmitted to register 11 for application to output circuit 30 through which it has to transit.
For that purpose, the involved computer 3 has determined in the sub-switches 5 and 6 two free paths and has provided the cross-point address memories with data necessary to address the selected cross-points.
In addition, a validation bit, which is different for each sub-switch, has been supplied to the involved memories, i.e. to memory 17, 18, 19, on the one hand and 23, 24, 25, on the other hand. The cross-points selected in the sub-networks 5 and 6 are addressed and, under control of clock 4, only those cross points are activated the validation memory row of which includes the bit selected for the validation, those points obviously being located in a same sub-network.
The speech sample received in circuit 12 at time t0 is then transmitted, at time t1 via input 32 of the involved group 1, through the cross-points activated in the selected sub-network, for instance 5. That sample is then transmitted through output of network 33 connected to the selected output group 2, wherein it transits via the speech memory 28, the register 29 and the output circuit 30, in accordance to a process close to that defined for the group 1, such a process being well known to people skilled in the art.
In case of failure in one sub-network, or in case of manual intervention in one sub-network, for instance, in case of removing one matrix from sub-switch 5, the communications which were transmitted previously through that sub-switch 5 may be then transmitted through sub-switch 6.
For that result, it is sufficient to inert the validation informations contained in cross-point address memories associated to the cross-pointsinvolved in the intervention or failure, which permits to provide the subscribers with a substantial non-stop traffic.
However, usually it is not possible to provide a total nonblocking traffic in a single sub-network, save if this one is a nonblocking network.
For small traffic, it is possible to reserve two paths for each communication and in a failure or intervention concerning a sub-network may be without influence on the traffic.
For large traffic, it may be impossible to reserve two paths for certain communications, each sub-network being possibly designed with internal blocking. In this case, communications through only one path may be authorized to be established. Moreover one of the two paths involved in certain previously established communications may be necessarily released to proyide establishment of communications which would have no other possible path. 2
In that case, if all the traffic is processed by a same subnetwork, those communications which have only one path located in the inoperative sub-network will be.
normally lostat the interruption time. However, such a number is obviously very small with respect to the number of communications which remain operative.
FIG. 2 illustrates the application of the principle mentioned with reference to FIG. 1, applied to a fully divided time-division switching network. 7
As previously mentioned, a time-space-time division network has been considered which however is fully divided and comprises two sub-networks, each comprising an input time-division group, an output time-division group and a space-division sub-switch, such as groups 1a, 2a and sub-switch 5 in the first sub-network and groups 1b, 2b and sub-switch 6 in the second subnetwork.
The two sub-networks have common inputs and common outputs, and as a result, each ingoingv or outgoing junction is connected to an input or output of each subnetwork, such as ingoing junction 36 connected to common input 34 of groups la and 1b and outgoing junction 40 to output of the common OR circuit 38 of groups 2a and 2b.
The network, as shown in FIG. 2, is also a nonblocking network designed, for instance, for switching 16000 ingoing channels. It comprises an input time-division stage with 32 groups in each sub-network. Each input time-division group, such as la or 1b comprises a speech memory having 512 rows and designed for multiplexing 512 channels and a time-division address memory having 512 rows.
Each space-division sub-switch, such as 5 or 6 is itself a nonblocking switch in the case of each communication passing through only one path. Each input timedivision group in a sub-network is connected to one input of the sub-switch in the same sub-network.
Each sub-switch comprises, for instance, three stages: the first stage such as 14 or 20, includes in the described embodiment, eight four-input eight-output matrices, the second stage, such as 15 or 21, includes eight eight-input eight-output matrices and the third stage, such as 16 or 22, includes eight eight-input fouroutput matrices.
The outputs of a sub-switch are each connected to an output time-division group of that sub-network, each sub-network comprising in the present embodiment 32 output time-division groups, such as 2a or 2b.
Each output time-division group comprises a speech memory and a time-division address memory, each having 512 rows. The time-division address memory, such as 27a or 27b includes, on the one hand, a number of columns corresponding to the number of bits necessary for addressing a speech memory row and, on the other hand, at least an additional column, such as 43a. Contents of this column for a given row permits to validate the address inforrnation stored in that same row.
Conversely, in this second embodiment, the crosspoint addressing memories ofeach stage, such as 17, 18, 19 and 23, 24, 25 may comprise no validation column in the various vertical blocks.
Each output group time-division address memory may possibly also comprise an additional column, such as 44a providing connection path test possibilities.
Each output group time-division address memory is connected to a logical circuit, such as 42a or 42b, via a 6 register, such as 26a or 26b. Thus, those circuits constitute the main components of the control system at the sub-network level.
For that purpose, such a register comprises one or possibly two columns having their outputs connected to the corresponding logical circuit, such as 46a and 47a to 42a.
The output circuit outputs such as 30a in each timedivision group are each respectively connected to an outgoing junction that each shares with an output of the time-division group in the other sub-network, in such a manner as for theinput.
In a conventional manner, the sample bits applied, at time t0, from the junction 36 are simultaneously transmitted to the input circuits 12a and 12b to the two involved groups la and lb, via the input 34 common to the two involved groups, because there as many groups 1a in a sub-network as groups lb in the other.
In a conventional manner, that sample, received at time t0 is divided in two identical duplicated samples which transit through each of the two groups according to the already described process, under control of computers 3 and clock 4 which constitute the main items of the network control system. At time tl, after 10, the first duplicated sample transmitted through the group 13 is read out from the memory to the register 11a. At
time t2, the second duplicated sample transmitted through the group lb, is read out from the memory 10b to the register 11b.
Two paths are established independently and in a conventional manner, one in the sub-switch 5 having an output connected from register 11a and the other in the sub-switch 6 having an output connected from register 11b. The two duplicated samples, from a same group and received at time t0 are separately transmitted to speech memory 28a and 28b of groups 20 and 2b connected to the outgoing junction, such as 40 which will transmit one of the sample to be transmitted.
To do so, the computers 3 send to the time-division address memory 27a or 27b of each of the two involved groups 2a and 2b, an individual binary information corresponding to the bits for which they respectively provided the transit.
Each binary information includes, on the one hand, a row address of the speech memory 28, and, on the other hand, a validation bit which is necessarily diifferent for the two memories. The binary information may possibly contain an information to make possible to test the established paths.
The logical circuit 42a and 42b of the involved groups 2a and 2b provide the control of the two identical duplicated samples to be transmitted in such a man-. ner as to authorize the transfer of only one of the two duplicated samples.
To do so, each logical circuit is controlled by the contents of the validation cell of the address memory output register to which it is associated, such as 42a to 46a.
For a first value of that contents, the logical circuit inhibites the inputs of the speech memory to which it is associated at the arrival time pf the transmitted sample. Thus the inputs of the memory 28a are inhibited by 42a at the arrival time of bits received in 12a at time t0.
For a second value of the said contents, the logical circuit remains unoperative.
Thus only one of the two duplicated samples is transmitted to the involved outgoing junction, for instance, in the described embodiment to the junction 40, via the associated output circuit and an OR gate associated to that junction, such as a and 38 associated to the ment of communications which would have no other path available.
The use of an additional validation column in the output group time-division address memories makes it possible to switch all the two-path communications from a sub-network to the other in case of failure or interruption in that sub-network.
According to an alternative of this invention and for simplification purpose, the established paths may be identical in the two sub-networks, which, among other things, permits to have only path search made instead of two.

Nicolas Malebranche
Nicolas Malebranche (nēkôlä´ mälbräNsh´), 1638–1715, French philosopher. Malebranche's philosophy is a highly original synthesis of Cartesian and Augustinian thought. Its purpose was to reconcile the new science with Christian theology. Beginning with Descartes's dualism between mind and body, Malebranche developed a theory called occasionalism, which denied any interaction of the two realms. To Malebranche, the eternal truths are contained in the divine intellect, and scientific knowledge is possible only because the soul is part of the divine intellect. He summarized his beliefs in his famous assertion that we see all things in God, a statement that led to an extended controversy with the theologian Antoine Arnauld. The philosophy of Malebranche influenced such diverse minds as Leibniz, Berkeley, and John Norris. His chief works are De la recherche de la vérité (1674; tr. The Search for Truth, 1694) and Traité de la nature et de la grâce (1680).

Today while I was testing my web role which includes Google Identity Provider with Windows Azure AppFabric ACSv2 locally in compute emulator I found after google IP authentication the return URL is my actual web role running in cloud.
My expectation was to use my http://localhost as REALM/return URL when I test same application in compute emulator and when I deploy it to Windows Azure, it should use actual http://my_service_name.cloudapp.net URL.
My App Fabric ACS v2 based Relying Party Application setting were as below:
Because of above settings, in compute emulator, after Google authentication was complete actual return URL was launched.
I wanted to use http://LocalHost when I was testing my application in compute emulator so changing Realm and Return URL in RPS was not a good option because I also want to keep my real *.cloudapp.net URL.
To solve this problem, I looked my ASP.NET web role application web.config and manually change the realm and return URL values to use http:\\Localhost:XXXX\ and after I just restarted the same instance again in Compute Emulator and after Google IP authentication the local return URL was used.

Hall income tax proposal worries Germantown
9 bills to curb or end state levy would be 'devastating'
Germantown and Memphis could lose millions of dollars in revenues if the state Hall income tax is phased out.
The Tennessee General Assembly has at least nine bills that would either phase out or curtail the amount of money collected on the state's income tax on investments.
The proposals targeting the Hall tax would affect metropolitan cities and metro counties the hardest.
"It would be devastating if we were to lose the Hall income tax. Every year we seem to fight this battle," said Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton.
Suburban city officials may be fighting their own legislators over the issue.
Both state Sen. Brian Kelsey of Germantown and Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris of Collierville favor eventually eliminating the tax. Both, however, say it is unlikely to happen this year.
The biggest reason is the state can't afford to lose the revenues. If the Hall tax were eliminated this year, it would add another $129 million to a state budget deficit already totaling more than $150 million. The $129 million is the state's share of the Hall tax.
Still, Norris said, "I think there is bipartisan support for that kind of initiative."
In a separate telephone interview, Kelsey agreed. "I would love to phase out the Hall income tax over time." But he added, "That's a tough bill to pass for this session."
Germantown could lose from $1.7 million to almost $3.5 million based on the previous highs and lows over the past five years. For years, the city has earmarked any money it gets for capital-improvement projects. The Hall tax money has bought a fire pumper truck, renovated the public services building, resurfaced a parking lot at the Germantown Performing Arts Centre and paid for a study on expanding the library.
The city of Memphis would take an even bigger hit. Memphis would lose from $7.3 million to $15.7 million, based on collections the past five years.
Other Shelby County cities would only feel a slight pinch. During the past five years, Bartlett has taken in a high of $445,000 to a low of about $110,000. In Collierville, the Hall tax has brought in almost $1 million to a low of $507,000. Shelby County has received between $1 million and $1.6 million from those taxpayers who live in unincorporated areas.
Except for Germantown, Memphis, Bartlett, Collierville and Shelby County earmark Hall tax proceeds to the general operating funds.
Norris said before he could support phasing out the Hall tax, he would want to analyze the effect and impact it would have on cities and the state.
"You wouldn't want anybody unduly disadvantaged," Norris said. "The 'what ifs' and the 'how tos' are the next questions." Without the tax, he added, "I believe that more disposable income generates more revenue in the state in the long term."
Kelsey, who sits on the Senate finance committee, said he would want to make sure the cities are made whole if the Hall tax is eliminated or phased out. "This is a tax that affects a lot of seniors on fixed incomes," he said.

Show me the Money
The state collects a 6 percent tax on income from dividends and interest on certain investments. The state keeps 62.5 percent of the tax collected and cities are allocated 37.5 percent based on where the taxpayer lives.
In fiscal year 2010, the state collected $172 million from the individual income tax, often called the Hall tax.
The five counties that collected the most money were:
Knox, $34.7 million
Shelby, $31.5 million
Davidson, $28.9 million
Hamilton, $14 million
Williamson, $12.4 million

Full text not available from this repository.
Mutations have been identified in the protein C gene in 21 patients with venous thromboembolism and phenotypic heterozygous protein C deficiency. In 20 probands, single mutations were the only abnormalities identified by sequencing all coding regions, intron exon boundaries and the promoter region back to -1540. In one proband 2 mutations were identified and in another family 2 mutations were identified (but not both in the proband). Of the 23 mutations, 18 resulted in predicted amino acid substitutions, 3 were mutations resulting in stop codons, one was a mutation within a consensus splice sequence and another a 9 base pair insertion within exon 5 (this region within exon 5 is proposed as a deletion/insertion hat spot). A novel polymorphism was also, uniquely, identified in the propeptide region of the molecule (Pro-21Pro; CCT to CCC) in a kindred from Hong Kong. Cosegregation of the protein C gene mutation with protein C deficiency could be determined in 13 families. In a further family, phenotypic protein C deficiency and the genetic mutation cosegregated in only 4/5 members.The first thrombotic incident occurred in the probands between the ages of 11 and 59 years and 12 individuals suffered recurrent thrombosis. Thrombosis occurred in at least one other family member in 9/21 families, but in 2 of these it was inconsistently associated with protein C deficiency. An independent genetic risk factor, factor V Arg506Gln (FV Leiden) was identified in 2 probands (and 3 family members) and in 4 protein C deficient members of a third family but not in the proband. The results suggest that in the majority of probands with thrombosis and phenotypic protein C deficiency, a single protein C gene mutation is associated with thrombosis. However, it is also possible that additional unknown genetic risk factors contribute to the thrombotic risk. An added, acquired, risk factor leads to thrombosis at an early age (<25 years).

Merger will hurt services
In response to "Chula Vista rec, library to merge" (South County, June 21): The Friends of the Chula Vista Library opposed the merger of the library and recreation departments during last year's budget deliberations and voiced our concerns to the City Council at that time, and again this year.
With three branch libraries and a Heritage Museum, the library department deserves a full-time director, and Library Director Betty Waznis has done an outstanding job in that role. Under her leadership, the library has generated new sources of revenue, expanded hours and added a much-needed east side library in Otay Ranch Town Center. Dividing her energy between two departments, however, would reduce the time she can spend developing the quality library system Chula Vista needs and deserves.
We urge the public to contact the Chula Vista City Council to express support of the library and opposition to this consolidation.
Shauna Stokes and Imozelle McVeigh
Friends of the Chula Vista Library Executive Board
Chula Vista City Council members Ramirez, Aguilar and Castaneda have done it again and forced through a major change in the city without adequate time for reasonable review and public comment.
This time they are merging Parks and Recreation with the Library Department. This was tried several years ago and failed, adversely impacting services. The same will likely happen again, adversely impacting anti-obesity efforts, lifesaving swim classes for kids, programs for seniors and so much more. In addition, the parks and rec director brought in millions in grant money, far outstripping his salary.
This is a bad move and will be devastating to the city and its citizens.

Toll not worth price
My wife and I eagerly awaited real relief on tolls for state Route 125 which, from the outset, were exorbitant for the relatively low convenience the route provided ("South Bay road tolls to drop at end of June," Local reports, May 26). With the imminent SANDAG takeover, we had expected rates to be restructured commensurate with those charged for other regional routes such as Interstate 15 or Route 73. Having recently traveled both of those we can see the new SR 125 rates are anything but.
Until the rates are reasonable – not just cheaper – SANDAG should not be surprised if the outcome falls well short of expectations.

Lacking self-promotion
Doesn't the city of Chula Vista have a full-time staff person who is supposed to be the key promoter of our fair city? If that is the case, how come we have to find out about events happening in our city via osmosis and tribal knowledge?
For instance, my wife and I were out riding our bikes a couple of weekends ago and stumbled upon the 40th Annual Hobie-Cat Regatta taking place right on our bayfront.
Just this past weekend I saw a picture on the front page of the U-T San Diego of a BMX rider who was participating in the Olympic BMX trials at the Olympic Training Center. And where is that located? In Chula Vista.

Passages Treatment Centers CEO Pax Prentiss Reflects on the Significance of Father's Day
To celebrate Father´s Day, Prentiss, a single father and co-founder of the two Passages Addiction Treatment Center facilities in Malibu and Ventura, revealed his personal thoughts on the upcoming holiday.
Malibu, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2013
For Pax Prentiss, Father´s Day signals a time of rebirth, of awakening. It was Pax´s relationship with his father, Passages co-founder Chris Prentiss, which not only spared Pax from the downward spiral of addiction, but also led to the creation of one of the most successful addiction treatment facilities in the world. Without the dark, troubling times that kept Pax locked in the throes of addiction for ten years, Passages would not have risen from the ashes to begin helping people from around the world.
"Father´s Day has always meant a lot to me because of my close relationship with my dad," said Pax Prentiss, CEO and co-founder of Passages Addiction Treatment Centers. "After going through countless 12 Step meetings, detox units, and other rehabs, it was my dad´s insistence that I look inward to find that true reason why I was returning to drugs and alcohol so often. Passages became my business, but on a personal level, it was always about my relationship with my dad."
In the years since Passages was founded, the unique father-son relationship that led to the creation of Passages, remains the cornerstone of the cutting-edge addiction treatment method that has helped thousands of clients restore the clarity in their lives.
Pax also credits the birth of his daughter, Taylor, to keeping him committed to both the continued success of Passages as well as his own journey in life. In September, Pax will have completed 13 rock solid years of sobriety.
"The moment I became a dad, everything changed," said Prentiss, in a candid moment. "Being able to share my experiences with Taylor is a very important part of my life, maybe the most important. I think father´s everywhere can understand that."
Prentiss plans to spend the Father´s Day with family, on a weekend camping trip.
At Passages Malibu – Addiction Ends Here
About Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura:
Father and son team Chris and Pax Prentiss founded Passages Malibu in 2001. Its second location, Passages Ventura, first opened its doors in 2009. The two drug, alcohol, and prescription medication abuse treatment centers offer an alternative to the 12 step/AA model of addiction treatment by utilizing a holistic program that focuses on the underlying issues of substance dependency, rather than attributing addiction to an incurable disease.
Both Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura accept insurance and each have earned the coveted Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation, which has only been given to 6% of the nation´s behavioral health treatment programs.
Passages Malibu was named the #1 treatment center in the world by Healthcare Global, one of the "Most Luxurious Places to Dry Out" by Forbes magazine, and the Huffington Post recently acknowledged Passages as a center that "caters to a high-end crowd, with many CEOs, entrepreneurs and high-powered professionals among its clients."
The co-founders are also authors of an acclaimed series of addiction treatment books, including their groundbreaking, flagship title, The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure.

Topic: Massive Excavator
Background: I think the topic speaks for itself. As it is my first time as moderator for IDW I thought it might be good to start with something big and simple
1. Design a machine that can dig up tons of earth (or coal or whatever) at a time.
2. It should be able to move around on its own.
3. It can be either a custom build excavator or one straight from the factory, as long as its massive.
4. Note that there is no time period or setting specified, so the excavator can be set in the past, present, future, fantasy setting or sci-fi.
Deadline: July 1st
that'll give everyone about 2 weeks to finish something. I hope to do one a week in the future like the other activities, depending on how many entries there are the coming weeks.

This makes placing controls etc very difficult. Any good techniques / tips to ensure that control layout looks consistent despite the screen resolution when an application is full screen.

Carmichael and colleagues (2007) examined data from a large, population-based case control study of primarily Hispanic women in California to determine associations between three levels of food security (food secure, food insecure without hunger, and food insecure with hunger) and risk for neural tube defects, orofacial cleft, and conotruncal heart defect. Their survey of 1,189 cases and 695 controls identified positive associations between food insecurity and anencephaly, cleft palate (modified by BMI), and tetralogy of Fallot (indicator of neural tube defect), suggesting that food insecurity is associated with increased risk for poor developmental outcomes.
Few studies have been conducted on the effects of food insecurity on breastfeeding. Zubieta and colleagues (2006) examined breastfeeding duration in infants from food secure and food insecure households using data from NHANES (1999-2000 and 2001-2002). They found that fewer infants were breastfed in the food insecure households, and among all infants that were breastfed, the duration was 38 days longer in the food secure than in the food insecure households.
Risk for Chronic Disease
Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that is particularly prevalent in low-income and minority populations (Beckles et al., 2011). African American and Latino adults are 1.7 to 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes than white adults (Schiller et al., 2012). In a two-city study of a community safety net clinic serving low-income, multiethnic individuals with type II diabetes, Seligman and colleagues (2011) found that nearly half were food insecure. Compared with food secure participants, those who were food insecure had higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), an important marker of glucose control. Further, about 30 percent of participants reported having a severe hypoglycemic event in the past year, and 9 percent reported four or more such events. The significance of these differences remained after adjusting for demographic and other risk factors. The relationship between food insecurity and lack of glycemic control was partially explained by difficulty following a prescribed diet and increased emotional distress related to diabetes. Consistent with these studies, Marjerrison and colleagues (2011), using a combination of telephone interviews and chart reviews for 183 Nova Scotian families with a child with type I diabetes, found that HbA1c levels were higher in children from food insecure households than in those from food secure households (9.5 ± 2.13 percent versus 8.96 ± 1.50 percent).
Seligman and colleagues (2010a) used NHANES (1999-2004) data to examine diet-related chronic diseases and prevalence of food insecurity in adult low-income (<200 percent of the poverty threshold) participants. They found that in adjusted models, food insecurity was associated with
