Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took his case on Iran directly to U.S. voters Sunday, telling the American public in televised interviews that the White House must be willing to draw a "red line" on Tehran's nuclear program, comparing Tehran's nuclear program to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and reminding Americans of the devastating repercussions of failed intelligence.
His remarks were an impassioned election-season plea from a world leader who insists he doesn't want to insert himself into U.S. politics and hasn't endorsed either candidate. But visibly frustrated by U.S. policy under President Obama, the hawkish Israeli leader took advantage of the week's focus on unrest across the Muslim world and America's time-honored tradition of the Sunday television talk shows to appeal to Americans headed to the polls in just seven weeks.
Tehran claims its nuclear program is peaceful. Mr. Netanyahu said the U.S. would be foolish to believe that, using football metaphors and citing example of past terrorist attacks on U.S. soil to appeal to his American audience.
"It's like Timothy McVeigh walking into a shop in Oklahoma City and saying, 'I'd like to tend my garden. I'd like to buy some fertilizer.' ... Come on. We know that they're working on a weapon," Mr. Netanyahu said.
In the past week, Mr. Netanyahu has called on Mr. Obama and other world leaders to state clearly at what point Iran would face a military attack. But Mr. Obama and his top aides, who repeatedly say all options remain on the table, have pointed to shared U.S.-Israeli intelligence that suggests Iran hasn't decided yet whether to build a bomb despite pursuing the technology and that there would be time for action beyond toughened sanctions already in place.
Mr. Netanyahu disagrees, estimating that Iran is about six months away from having most of the enriched uranium it needs and warning that letting them reach the "goal line" would have disastrous consequences.
Mr. Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has said he is willing to take a tougher stance than Mr. Obama against Iran, although his campaign has declined to provide specifics. He has also aligned himself personally with Mr. Netanyahu, casting the Israeli leader as a longtime friend.
Meanwhile, Mr. Obama is reported to have a strained relationship with Mr. Netanyahu, chastising Israel for continuing to build housing settlements in areas disputed with the Palestinians.
America's ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, responded Sunday by saying there is "no daylight" between the U.S. and Israel and saying Mr. Obama "will do what it takes" to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. But, she said, "we are not at that stage yet."
"Our bottom line — if you want to call it a red line — the president's bottom line has been that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon, and we will take no option off the table to ensure that it does not acquire a nuclear weapon, including military," Mrs. Rice later said.
But Mr. Netanyahu has said that's not enough and employed historical examples known to most Americans to make his case: President John F. Kennedy's demand that the Soviets remove its missiles sites in Cuba "maybe purchased decades of peace," Mr. Netanyahu said. And absent a similar "red line," then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein faced a U.S. attack in 1991 after invading Kuwait.
"Maybe that war could have been avoided," Mr. Netanyahu said.
Mr. Netanyahu also pointed to America's inability to prevent the 9/11 hijackings as proof that intelligence can fail.
He insisted that his motivations were not political, but reflected a key sense of urgency. Israeli officials point to Iranian enrichment of uranium, a key ingredient in building a bomb, the movement of Iranian nuclear research facilities to fortified underground bunkers impervious to attack and Iran's refusal to open its facilities to U.N. inspectors.
Mr. Netanyahu and Mrs. Rice spoke on CNN's "State of the Union" and NBC's "Meet the Press." Mrs. Rice also spoke on "Fox News Sunday" and appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Senior Anna McKell remembers her first day at Starkville Academy and looking back, there is no where she would rather spend her academic and athletic career.
"I have been here ever since kindergarten," McKell said. "It is almost like family to me. With it being such a small school, we are all so close. To be a part of that and having people there to support me and just having the opportunity to go to Starkville Academy is a blessing."

text: If you are a pro, and want to use film, it would be risky to make big investments in gear if only one company were making film. If Kodak needs to discontinue a poor selling film (despite my efforts, as I've routinely used 220 format TXP over the past few years.) to save the rest of it, then that's something I'll adjust to. I like the regular Tri-x, and I'm going to try TMY and Fp4 next. I want to know, and understand more than one film, from more than one manufacturer.

Vťra: (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov)
Random House Publishing Group, Feb 23, 2011 - Biography & Autobiography - 480 pages
Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for biography and hailed by critics as both "monumental"†(The Boston Globe) and "utterly romantic"†(New York magazine), Stacy Schiff's Vťra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov) brings to shimmering life one of the greatest literary love stories of our time. Vladimir Nabokov—the ťmigrť author of Lolita; Pale Fire; and Speak, Memory—wrote his books first for himself, second for his wife, Vťra, and third for no one at all.
"Without my wife,"†he once noted, "I wouldn't have written a single novel."†Set in prewar Europe and postwar America, spanning much of the century, the story of the Nabokovs'†fifty-two-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. Vťra, both beautiful and brilliant, is its outsized heroine—a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy. Stacy Schiff's Vťra is a triumph of the biographical form.

LA FitnessRead MoreWading through indoor heated pools, the instructors at British Swim School teach independent swimming skills to learners aged 3 months and older, adhering to a curriculum devised by British national swimmer Rita Goldberg. The 30-minute one-on-one sessions and small-group lessons, containing six or fewer swimmers, elucidate essential techniques for water safety and the importance of speaking fluent manatee. Swimboree (ages 3 months?3 years with parents) and Young Minnows sessions (ages 1?3 years without parents) teach wee swimmers basic water-survival skills, such as the back float. Turtle One and Turtle Two classes focus on freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke maneuvers, honing more structured swimming skills in older kiddos. British Swim School's Shark courses enhance stamina and speed and teach even more demanding strokes, such as the butterfly and little-known mountain-goat flail. Certain British Swim School classes require parents to participate in the water or to supervise from the pool deck, and adults-only lessons allow grown-ups to refine their own abilities without the supervision of a toddler.8181 Northwest 12th StreetDoral, FL US
Da Factory Training FacilityRead MoreA dull thud shakes the padded floor as Ronny Lindsay drops a barbell after demonstrating squat thrusters to his student. All around him trainers bellow motivation, and the air is damp with the sweat of men and women of all ages powering through the workout of the day. This scenario plays out daily for Bruno and his team of trainers, each of whom holds at least a CrossFit Level 1 trainer certification and listens to a soundtrack of workout grunts on a loop before bed. The trainers introduce exercisers to CrossFit gradually. They start by teaching On Ramp fundamentals classes and then roll out the workout of the day, which typically includes a nonstop sequence of exercises such as sprints, lunges, and pull-ups. Aside from the daily workout, the trainers oversee a specialized CrossFit Football program, which was created with guidance from an actual professional football veteran.1907 Northwest 79th AvenueDoral, FL US
PranogaRead MoreGrowing up in India, Aditya "Adi" Gir was exposed to yoga at a young age, but he quickly found that life kept him too busy to practice it. After he moved to South Florida to pursue a career in computer science, he went through a year and a half of tough health issues and only recovered after doing pranayama?yogic breathing exercises. He was so impressed with the results that he decided to become a yoga instructor and went off to study in Mumbai. Now, Adi leads beginners and advanced yogis alike during laid-back classes at Pranoga Yoga Studio in Doral. Adi and his fellow flexible instructors try to make their studio a welcoming, non-intimidating place where students can practice Hatha and Vinyasa poses without feeling judged if they can't lick their elbows. The instructors also conduct workshops in addition to their regularly scheduled classes.2555 Northwest 102nd AvenueDoral, FL US

Founded by Sao Paulo native Marcio Pizanelli, the gym and adjoining capoeira school boast an international staff of certified instructors hailing from Brazil, Venezuela, and the United States. Marcio and his team promote hard work and competition during each energizing workout, which might include weight balls, rowing machines, pull-up bars, or any other piece of the gym's extensive arsenal. Basic classes emphasize proper form for CrossFit's central lifts, and daily workouts keep muscles guessing with a variable blend of conditioning, strength training, core workouts, and getting chased by a terrier with gross, muddy paws.5985 Northwest 102nd AvenueMiami, FL US

These deep, sustained stretches methodically work muscle groups and organ systems throughout the entire body, improving strength and flexibility as they help restore the body to optimum health. In addition to providing an additional mental challenge, the room's intense heat encourages sweating and loosens tight joints and muscles, allowing students to sink further into each stretch and easily slip into tight scuba suits.5820 Commerce LaneSouth Miami, FL US

TIDAL Executive Vania Schlogel Speaks On The Company's Strategy
A lot of bad press has been coming out circling the Jay Z's new app 'TIDAL' and it's success since it's launch. TIDAL Exec. Vania Schlogel exclusively discusses the company's strategy.
A lot of bad press has been coming out circling the Jay Z's new app 'TIDAL' and it's success since it's launch. TIDAL Exec. Vania Schlogel exclusively discusses the company's strategy.
DJ, Media Personality, and Digital Guru, Dj Skee, warns us that the well anticipated joint album from 'The Carters' (Jay Z & Beyonce') could release on Jay's new streaming service, TIDAL.
When Beyonce and her husband, Jay Z, celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary, they did it in a big and tropical way. The couple went to Hawaii and it's safe to say that they both got lei'd.
After announcing the launch of TIDAL three weeks ago, Jay Z has finally released his own contribution to the music streaming service. This effort from the rapper is a special one because it is a revamped version of his song, "Glory."
In honor of their 7th wedding anniversary, which is today (April 4), Beyonce unveiled a new song dedicated to her hubby Jay Z. "Die With You" is not a morbid tune, but rather a touching ode to Queen Bey's undying devotion to Hov.
Jay Z's new streaming service TIDAL is finally here. The rap mogul held a press conference on Monday (March 30) to introduce his new company, which is being touted as the first-ever global artist-owned music platform.
You just can't stop this guy. In yet another huge business move, Jay Z's streaming service TIDAL has fully integrated with WiMP, a Norwegian music platform. According to Billboard, Hov purchased TIDAL on Jan. 30 and his $56.2 million bid was accepted on March 10.
The hashtag #RapAlbumsThatCausedSlavery erupted on Twitter today after MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' host Joe Scarborough offered his thoughts on the S.A.E. fraternity's racist chant video.
Just when you stopped holding your breath for new Jay Electronica music, the rapper drops a new song. The Roc Nation artist even teams up with a veteran hip-hop boss on the effort, "Road to Perdition."
Damon Dash has always been one to get the people talking and has had a lot to say over the past year. So when we got news that the former Roc-A-Fella boss and entrepreneur made an appearance on 'Sway in the Morning,' our interest definitely piqued. What did Dame have to say?
Even millionaires have trouble finding the right house to buy. Jay Z and Beyonce's dream home in Los Angeles is harder to lock down than they thought.
Earlier today, news surfaced of a lawsuit filed by Rymir Satterthwaite and his family, claiming that a man named Shawn Carter, who we know as Jay Z, is his father

RATINGS: 115 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.59 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 85 EST. CALORIES: 210 ABV: 7%
Aromatic earth tonic of the resinous picea and humulus lupulus
Beer Type: Imperial pilsner brewed with Northern Michigan Blue Spruce needles and healthy doses of high alpha hops
Imperial India Spruce Pilsner is fermented with local, hand-picked blue spruce tips and the quintessential symbol for Joe Shorts love of hops and craft beer. The spruce presence, rooted in historical brewing practices, is enormous and gives the beer a refreshing gin quality. This beer is impressively light bodied, considering the immense spruce flavors and the prodigious additions of hops.

Does the smart cover fit the ipad1?
- Asked by Laurence R from Kapellen
- 29-Mar-2011
Best Answer:
Since the exterior of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 are the same dimensions it does fit the top of the scree Since the exterior of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 are the same dimensions it does fit the top of the screen. However, the iPad 2 has magnets built into the machine in order to respond to the magnets in the smart cover. This allows the cover to stay in place and be appropriately aligned. Also, this allows the cover to lock or awaken the screen. Essentially, the smart cover will not stay on the iPad 1 because there are no magnets. I would not recommend buying a smart cover if you only own an iPad 1. …

Can you use this case for first generation ipad
- Asked by Adam B from Dunlap
- 29-Mar-2011
Best Answer:
You can set it on the first generation iPad for temporary protection, but that is not it's intended You can set it on the first generation iPad for temporary protection, but that is not it's intended purpose. The magnetic bar on the side of the smart covers hooks, and auto-alligns, itself to the side of the magnetic iPad 2. When closed, it puts it to sleep, and opening it awakens it. Placing any smart cover on an iPad 1 will protect it but it may slide off. I recommend purchasing a cover for first generation iPad, because buying this adds unneeded features and most likely a higher cost. …

New Role
After a decade as artistic director of Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Charlotte Boye-Christensen is stepping down to found a new interdisciplinary dance company called NOW in Salt Lake City.
The amicable parting leaves Ririe-Woodbury with big shoes to fill on the advent of the company's 50th anniversary. Boye-Christensen is only the company's second artistic director since its founding in 1964 by Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe. "Charlotte has been phenomenal for the company," says managing director Jena Woodbury. "We want the new director," Daniel Charon, a choreographer and former dancer with Doug Varone, among others, "to maintain the high level of quality and contemporary edge Charlotte brought."
Boye-Christensen has been commissioned by companies from Cuba to Singapore and is noted for a strong point of view in her work. "She has staked out a very new, quite singular, physical territory," says Eric Handman, choreographer and assistant professor at the University of Utah's Department of Modern Dance.
The decision to leave RW was difficult, Boye-Christensen says, but the job of artistic director was so demanding that it took away from her energy to choreograph. NOW is poised to fulfill her long-term ambition "to bring the eyes and talents of the world to Salt Lake City, and a Salt Lake City perspective to the world."
The decision also comes with a change in her personal life: She plans to marry artist and architect Nathan Webster. The two have partnered on several experimental collaborations in the past, and Webster, as a co-founder of NOW, is a key figure in its inaugural project in July titled The Wedding. (Read more about the production here.)
"I will miss the experience of absorbing Charlotte's movement into my body directly from her," says RW dancer Tara Roszeen McArthur. "Her voracity for creating new material is inspiring."

Rotnei Clarke is back in Butler's starting lineup Saturday night against Temple. The 6-foot shooting guard is returning after missing the last two weeks with a severely sprained neck. Clarke was injured when he crashed head-first into a padded basket support at Dayton on Jan. 12. Butler (16-3, 3-1 Atlantic 10) went on to win that game and two more at home last week without Clarke before losing in the final seconds at La Salle on Wednesday, again without Clarke. He was cleared to practice Thursday. Clarke is one of the Atlantic 10's top scorers and 3-point shooters. He's averaging 16.3 points, shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range, sixth in the league, and is seventh in the nation in 3s made per game (3.7).

The place in nice and very comfortable..we can see the whole neighborhood from our (website hidden) was so peaceful and we love to wake up in the morning and feel the breeze and the sunshine from our window.
Will's communication was timely and the instructions for everything were accurate. The apartment is extremely well located and very quiet at night. The chaos of Harajuku Street is a 10min walk away, and we were well placed for mens clothing and the more high end Omotesando. We found some reasonably good food only 3mins walk west, and excellent coffee about 300m south (Omotesando Koffee).
Overall a great place to stay and would definitely stay again! Thanks Will.
- suggestion would be great if you include Apple Store as main reference when existing the Omotesando tube station (exist 2)
- the building does not have any reference to its name as mentioned on the provided directions, would be great if a picture from the outside of the building is included
The apartment conservation state does not look at all like the pictures, the curtains are not fixed properlly and one of the windows does not have a blackout so an eye mask can be handy, and generally does required refurbishment.
Bath room and shower were ok though the trick using same tap for the sink and bathtub is not so easy to get.
The fridge is really noisy and makes it difficult to sleep even with earplugs.
The main bed was ok but the sofa when opened has literally a hole in the middle which makes it really uncomfortable to sleep.
The 3rd bed as agreed, was not a bed but a duvet to be placed on the floor, so 4 days sleeping on the floor not cool at all.
The wifi instructions on AIRBNB are incorrect since the house manual has them updated with different SSID and password.
As final note this apartment has indeed a great location and can work for 2 persons max 3 if the 3 person is willing to sleep on the uncomfortable sofa.
Great location. Fairly clean room. Informative host with quick response to any of our questions. Thumbs up!
Description of apt very accurate, had everything we needed. A/C works great, kitchenette just perfect for a quick breakfast and snacks. The neighborhood is in a quiet urban area. Clean and comfortable. good communication with Will. His instructions from the subway station were spot on.
Stayed at will's place for nine days with three friends and we're all super happy we chose this place. You seriously can't find a better place to stay if you're in Tokyo and want to explore the city. The neighborhood is cool and trendy and also a great outpost to explore Tokyo further. The place in itself has everything you need. Not super big so his recommendation on 3 adults is accurate.
Will as a host was great with quick replies on everything and also he made great instructions so finding the place and getting settled was peace a cake. Totally recommend this place!
Will was responsive, the apartment was exactly as described in a nice walkable location. Would recommend.

About the Host, Will
Nice to meet you. My name is Will. I love hosting on airbnb and it is my life. It is tons of fun and there are new surprises every day! I have met so many interesting people as a host and I look forward to those I will meet in the future.
I am a sports fan, reader, movie goer, and I like to try new things. I play golf, basketball, and just about any sport you can think of. I love ramen, yakiniku, yakitori, and shabu shabu here in Japan. I love to try pizza all over the world when I travel.
Relationships are the most important thing for me in my personal life as well as business. I like to go out and have a good time with my friends and meet new people.
I have learned so much from my over three years as an airbnb host and I am pleased to say I have most questions answered for you before you ask them, whether it be in the description of the listing or in the detail I supply you with at confirmation. Still, I am always thinking of ways to make the guest experience more comfortable, efficient, and hassle free. This is my goal as a host. I will continue to get more places every month so I can host more travelers. I want everyone to see Tokyo at least once!
Tokyo is a great place to come and people from all over the world visit here making it a truly international city. I love Tokyo and seeing the amazing sights and people. It is a great place to explore and every day can be different. This is an awesome destination for walkers and wanders filled with friendly people, tasty restaurants, and plenty of lights. My tip is to make the initial contact with Japanese people because they are typically shy at first. They will be happy to try to practice their English with you.
Hope I can host you soon! May your trip to Tokyo be as amazing as my 7 years here has been!

, In the relay system of Figure l the television I pickup camera and video amplifier 40 is emplayed to modulate ultra short wave length transmitting apparatus 42. Numerals 40 and 42 also may diagrammatically indicate the sound pick-up device and sound transmitter. The output of the transmitters 42 of ultra short wave lengths modulated by sound and video signals arecoupled to the open two wire transmission line 44 of a present-day telephone system. Near the coupling point of the transmitting apparatus 42 1s provided a small condenser or other suitable impedance 46 which is of very low value for the ultra short waves appearing at the output of 42',- but which is of high impedance for the telephone currents in line 44.

The waves so relayed in the system shown in Figure 1 or, for that matter, in any of the figures described in this application may be amplitude modulated, frequency modulated or phase modulated waves.
Other ways of coupling into the ordinary two wire commercial telephone line are illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 2, the two wire 3 transmission line is shunted by an impedance dipole antenna 92.

Across the two wire line 80 there is connected a short transmission line connected to the Antenna 92 picks up energy radiated by the radiating antenna 94, in turn connected to the ultra short wave length trans- I mitter 85, the wave-energy traveling down the telephone line 80 to a point such as represented by central station 48 of Figure l, at which point the radio relay circuit 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62 is duplicated-as in Figure l, but for the sake of simplicity is not repeated'in connection with Figure 2. v
- In Figure 3, the open wire telephone line I00, consisting of two wires mounted, as is common practice, upon telephone poles, runs from central station I02 to station I04 and then continues in line I06. The ultra short wave lengthtransmitter is illustrated at point I08 and feeds into line H0 by way of coupling loops II 2. The line H0 is connected between the condensers H4, serially connected across the transmission line I00, the two condensers H4 being of low impedance for ultra short waves fed through loops I I2, but. of relatively high impedance for normal tele-' phone currents carried by line I00. The ultra short waves travel towards the right down two wire line I00 and passingthrough condensers H6 similar to condensers H4 are amplified by amplifier H8 and radiated over antenna I20 to ee ENT the receiving antenna I22. At the receiving point I22, the ultra short waves are further amplified in amplifier I24 and fed again through condensers I26, similar in construction and common to condensers H4, to excite the wires I 06 of the open two wire telephone line in parallel for ultra short wave transmission. At any point along the line transmitters, such as H8, may indicate a non-directional broadcasting transmitter in addition to indicating a relay transmitter. Also, it
a should be obvious that the system may be carried out with transmission from right towards the left, rather than as explained from left to wards the right.
nels may be reversed, the video signals being transmitted on the telephone line and the audio being relayed partly by wire and partly by air. The television pick-up camera 300 feeds amplifying apparatus and ultra short wave transmitter 302 in turn excites the transmitting antenna 304. From what has gone on before, it should be clear that these signals are picked up and relayed jthrough relays 303 and 308 to the terminal station 340 whose amplifier 3l2 may feed a broad-.
' cast'television antenna 3l4 of the-type described by N- E. Lindenblad in his application Serial No. 208,573, filed May 18, 1938. The relay stations 303 and 308 may be constructed as described in connection with Figures 1 through 7 for example of my copending application Serial No. 274,744, filed May 20, 1939. The type of a modulation employed for the television channel I may be of the amplitude modulation type.
The audio pick-up microphone 3 l6, which may also represent the audio amplifier, is arranged I ".Qto modulate the ultra short wave transmitter 3l8, operating on a different frequency than that employed in the television channel. Furthermore, the transmitter 3l8 may be amplitude modulated, but is preferably frequency modulated and the ultra short wave length frequency modulated waves are fed along the telephone transmission lines 320, radio relay 322 and transmission line 324 as'described in connection with Figures 1, 2 and 3, rectangles 32B, 328, 330 indi- -cating telephone sub-stations. The frequency modulated ultra short waves at station 330 are fed through loop 334 and line 33 6 to a receiving amplifier 338, in turn-feeding an audio broad casting antenna 340.
- For reception of the sound channel at ornear station 330, as for exampl for monitoring pur poses, the pick-up loop 342 is provided which :may be switched into transmission line 344 into the frequency modulated ultra short wave length receiver 346. The output of this receiver may be heard in the telephones 348 which may, of course, be a loudspeaker.
On the other hand, if it is desired to employ an ordinary broadcasting set for hearing the frequency modulated ultra short wave audio signals, the audio output of the ultra short wave receiver 346 may be fed through transmission I line 350 to 'modulate a broadcast wave length or long wave length oscillator 352. The modulated output of this oscillator may then be fed I directly as indicated by lines 344 r radiated into the ordinary broadcast receiver 356 provided with loudspeaker 358. The receiver 356 should. of course, when employed, as described, be tuned so as to receive the long wave generated at 352. Similarly, this ultra short wave length system may be switched to a pick-up antenna 360 at points 362 rather than to the loop 342, in which case the ultra short wave length signals picked up on antenna 360 will be reproduced either by the ultra short wave length receiver 346 or, as adapted by way of the modulated oscillator 35!, will be heard in the loudspeaker 358.
The system described in Figure 4 offers certain advantages in that if desired the audio channel may be operated at relatively low power. 8 it should be understood that when frequency -modulation is referred to herein, frel y deviations less than, equal to or several audio and video channels will be of the frequency 1 modulated type. Or, if desired, the video relay channel may carry frequency modulated waves and the audio channel may carry amplitude modulated waves.
In Figure 1, ultra short wave television and mounted in a truck and coupled to the comliiisleee F? limina s r. ire 44. Similarly,'"'in Figure Z, 93 may represen m 4 a jr nobile.,truck carrying a television and sound ultra shortwave transmitting apparatus feeding Iin'e'80 through the mediumofhtheradio I circuit including antennas94 and 92.
It should'be clearly understood that in the systems such as shown in Figure 4, the oscillation prevention means, such as illustrated in Figures 1 through 7 inclusive of my copending application Serial No. 274,744, filed May 20, 1939, may be employed. For example, in Figure 4 the oscillation generating prevention means of Figures 1 through 7 inclusive of my parent application may be employed at any one of the relay stations 306, 308, etc. and may also be employed at the terminal station 310. The
schemes of preventing feed-back and sustained oscillation generation may also be applied to the combined wire line and radio links. For example, referring to Figure 4 herein, the system of Figure 5 of my parent application may .be employed at station 338, the only difference then existing will be that the receiving antenna RA of Figure 5 will be replaced by the loop 334 of Figure 4 herein. Also, for example, in Figure 1- any of the oscillation prevention systems of Figures 1 through 7 of my parent application Serial No. 274,744 may be employed, in which case the loops 52, 62 take the place of the receiving and transmitting antennas, respectively, of Figures 1 through 7 of my parent case Serial No. 274,744.
Referring again to Figure 4, it is preferred that the television broadcast antenna be fed with amplitude modulated waves from the amplifier or transmitter 3|2. Also, it is preferred that the corresponding audio system employing antenna 340 be fed with frequency modulated waves, having relatively wide deviations, from the amplifier or ultra short wave transmitter 338.
However, it should also be clearly understood that my invention contemplates the employment of wide frequency modulation for the television or video channel, in which case the carrier frequency may be swung in frequency an absolute amount several times the highest video modulation frequency away from the carrier means frequency for the largest amplitude of the video modulation currents or voltages. For all other video signal strengths, the carrier may be swung the arrangement of Figure 2; The next line seetion may be fed either in push-pull or in parallel as desired, etc.
In the system of Figure 5, which corresponds to Figure 24 of my copending application Serial No. 310,495, filed December 22, 1939, the pick-up unit 3000, which may be a voice, television or facsimile pick-up unit, frequency or phase modulates a sub-carrier generated by apparatus within rectanglev 3002. This frequency or phase modulated sub-carrier is fed over land lines 3004 to a suitable frequency or phase modulation receiver 3006 which reproduces'currents of modulation frequency similar to those fed from 3000 into the sub-carrier system 3002. The output of frequency or phase modulation receiver 3006 is then used to frequency or phase modulate the radio transmitter 3008 whose output is in turn radiated by radiator 30 I 0.
The transmitted frequency modulated waves are received on the receiving antenna 3012 and translated by the frequency or phase modulated receiver 3014 into the modulation frequency waves corresponding to those at the output of apparatus 3000 at the transmitter. These demodulated waves of modulation frequency are used to frequency or phase modulate a sub-carrier wave in the apparatus represented by 3016.
This frequency or phase modulated sub-carrier I g is then fed over land line 3018 to a distant receiving point at which a frequency or phase modulation receiver 3020 is located. The receiver 3020 ole-modulates the frequency or phase modulated sub-carrier and feeds the de-modulated waves into a loudspeaker facsimile recorder or television reproducing apparatus 3022.
The foregoing system has among its advantages the fact that the pick-up unit 3000 may be remotely located from the transmitting antenna 3010 and that the de-modulating receiver 3006 may be used both for monitoring as well as for modulating the radio transmitter 3008. Similarly. the receiving arrangement is advantageous since the receiving antenna 3012 may be located in the suburbs of a city and the reproducing apparatus 3022 may be located within a city, in which event the urban noises generated in urban areas are kept from affecting the output of 3022.
Any of the transmitters or receivers specifically described in my copending application Serial No. 310,495, filed December 22, 1939, and in my copending application Serial No. 361,413, filed October 16, 1940, may be used herein for the transmitters and receivers represented by rectangles.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: I
1. A short wave relay system comprising a relatively long two wire transmission line, apparatus offering relatively high impedance to short waves connected in said line intermediate the ends thereof, an impedance having a, low impedance value to short waves and high impedance value to long waves connected across one end of said line, a source Of short waves, a circuit coupling said source to said line adjacent said impedance having low value to short waves and high value to long waves whereby short waves travel down said line to one side of said apparatus havin high impedance connected in said line, a pickup device picking up short waves from said line at said one side of said apparatus, an amplifier amplifying the picked up waves, a directive antenna system for directively transmitting said amplified short waves around said apparatus, and a circuit for feeding said directively transmitted short waves into said line at the other side of said apparatus for further transmission of said short waves down said line away from said apparatus. a
2. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 characterized by the factv that condensers are connected across said two wire line at each of said coupling points, said condensers having low impedance for short waves and relatively high re'actance for long waves.

Janet's calm disposition and warm-hearted smile pervades the entire office like a beacon of light in a thunderstorm, and everyone near her gets the sense that everything will work out fine just because she's there. Prior to her arrival at Tabor, she worked for Tektronix and then for Xerox, for 26 years. At Tabor, she is the indispensable hub from which all activity stems from and returns to. When the day is done, Janet still has the energy to engage in her all-time favorite pastime – playing Candy Land with her grandchildren.
Archana Ramarao, Architectural Designer
Archana brings a fresh and vibrant international flair for design to the Tabor Team. She received her Bachelor of Architecture Degree at Bangalore University in Bengaluru, India and completed additional coursework in Residential Small-Scale Construction and Building Codes at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. After completing her studies, she worked for the prestigious global architectural firm – IBI Group. She is the mother of a four year old son and has recently moved to Montgomery County with her husband to raise a family. She is looking forward to a slower pace, both in terms of her lifestyle –from busy Toronto city life to a more tranquil suburban tempo, and also in her work –from drawing skyscrapers to redesigning family homes.
Heather Lough, Interior Designer
Heather is a recent graduate of Marymount University with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. She is the first stop for clients in the Tabor remodeling process. Getting the picture of exactly what the clients want out of their head and into a building plan isn't as easy as it might seem and Heather has numerous strategies for extracting this vision and getting it down on paper. She is responsible for selecting all of the gizmos and gadgets that go along with a remodel – everything from cabinetry, tile, lighting and appliances to knobs, handles, switches and bulbs. She equates interior design to doing a puzzle – everything has to connect with the piece next to it within a finite space and a finite budget in order to eventually produce the final composition. Heather has been a designer for as long as she can remember – her father was a carpenter and there was always some type of remodeling project going on in any house she has ever lived in. In addition to helping people create beauty within their living environments, she also loves to create beauty on a more personal level by designing and crafting glass bead jewelry for family and friends or for church fundraisers.
Richard Crump, Production Manager
Rick brings not only a wealth of experience to the Tabor Team after 42 years in the building industry, but expertise in many specialty areas that other contractors lack. He jokingly admits he is responsible for everything from "soup to nuts". One of his claims to fame was the restoration work he completed on the Estonian Embassy after it was gutted by fire in 2001 – restoring it to its former neo-classical grandeur, using only pictures taken prior to the fire as a guide. In addition to specializing in fire and flood restoration, Rick has also been a key contractor on high-end energy efficient homes that have received the prestigious "Gold Certified" award from Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), a certification program recognizing best-in-class "green" building strategies and practices. He has joined the Tabor Team and reignited his passion for remodeling after "being bored" at a company that focused on building "cookie-cutter" houses that all looked the same. He thrives on remodeling – where each job presents a new challenge and a unique circumstance.
Don has been with Tabor since 2004. He has been a NARI Certified Lead Carpenter since 2007, and has more than 20 years of carpentry experience. He excels at producing overjoyed clients.
Jason is a recent newcomer to Maryland, although he comes with more than 17 years of experience in all aspects of carpentry. In addition to holding a Maryland license, he is also licensed in Massachusetts where he grew up, as well as California where he played semi-pro ice hockey for the San Diego Gulls when he was not building homes. He completed classes in Design and Architecture at the Boston Architectural Center and is known for his attention to detail in coordinating building projects from start to finish.
John has worked in the local construction industry for the past 40 years, starting as a young apprentice at age fourteen when he had the opportunity to assist in the historic preservation of Glen Echo Park and the Clara Barton House. Although he has known John Tabor, President of Tabor Design, since childhood days – until recently he was a competitor of Tabor, owning his own contracting company. When the opportunity arose, Tabor was lucky enough to recruit John into the Tabor Design Build family. John is known for his versatility both on and off the job. In addition to building homes, John is currently a drummer in a classic rock band and has taught martial arts, kayaking, and cross-country skiing.
Frank came to Tabor, not only with 33 years of local Washington Metro area experience, but with a portfolio that includes some of the most high-end custom homes in the area. He is most proud of his work in crafting out-of-the-ordinary accommodations for home owners with special needs in order to enhance their quality of life. Frank is not only recognized for his unparalleled talent in devising customized solutions to building challenges on the job but off the job as well. In his spare time, he builds remote-control race cars that have won numerous competitive racing awards.
Randy Von Reichenbach, Carpenter
Randy has been building custom family homes for 36 years – homes that have been featured on the front page of the Washington Post's New Homes section. He thrives on challenges and is known for arriving at unique and creative solutions to renovation problems. He recalls one of his most rewarding assignments when he was contracted to recreate the intricate Victorian era curves, curls and swirls in the antique wood trim of the historic Carter Hurley House in Rockville. But on the weekends, the sound of hammers and drills is replaced by the chords of his guitar and refrains from his own original songs. He already has plans to release his first album.
Steve DeLuca, Production Associate
Steve basically drives the big trucks – he gets things where they need to go, when they need to be there. He is the grease in the wheel that keeps everything operating smoothly and on time. Recently, he was on the crew that spent twelve days building the outdoor ice hockey rink at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., for the 2015 National Hockey League Winter Classic game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals. Off the clock, his friends can still find him building things – Steve is well known in the metro area for designing and constructing set designs for the stage, most notably for the Round House Theater. He received his degree in Graphic Arts Communication from Maryland College of Art & Design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, Local 22 – a union for theater techs. In addition, Steve has held a real estate license for the past 15 years, and has a keen eye for what the finished renovation should look like, particularly for getting the highest resale value.
Jamie Thomas, Carpenter's Helper
Jamie Thomas has been with Tabor Design Build since 2012. He works hard and is learning the trades of remodeling. As a carpenter's helper, Jamie is continuously exposed to all aspects of the remodeling industry.

October 1862 Millais wrote to the Dalziels: 'Here at last is another Parable & another is in hand this week. The quality of the work speaks for itself and I need not tell you to cut it with all your might... I have done the vine elaborately from nature for the next Parable the labourers in the Vineyard who kill the heir.'
The vine twisted around the neck of the husbandman's heir shows the lengths Millais went to in order to produce an accurate description of nature. The dead bird and toad in the right foreground enhance the sense of evil.
