Belcourt Taps & TapasRead MoreBelcourt Taps celebrates the charms and flavors of the South with regular live music, and gourmet twists on comfort classics. The festivities begin before diners even step through the door. Outside, a sprawling patio surrounds the restaurant, lit up at night with warm sconce lighting and candlelight. There, guests can dig into gourmet stuffed burgers and tacos with pulled pork, shrimp, or chicken. Diners can also explore tapas and shareable plates of fried green tomatoes and nachos or dive solo into a barbecue pulled pork sandwich. Inside, regular live music showcases the talents of singers and songwriters who carry on the Nashville sound. Golden yellow walls brighten the room, adding the feel of a southwestern cantina or a southwestern cantina owned by a pyromaniac, and soft overhead lighting creates the ideal atmosphere for a draft beer.2117 Belcourt Ave.Nashville, TN US
The Nashville PalaceRead MoreIn the early 1980s, when Randy Travis was a line cook and singer struggling to find his place in the country-music business, he recorded an independent album called Live at the Nashville Palace. The recording secured him a deal with Warner Bros. Records, and Travis went on to become one of the biggest stars in modern country music. Nashville Palace owner Jesse Lee Jones continues to honor this venue's storied history with the concert calendar, which he keeps packed with nightly performances from local, regional, and national artists. As audiences take in shows, they can nosh on grilled fare such as Angus-beef burgers, pork chops, and chicken wings. Those seeking a more traditional dining experience can relax in the parlor room and enjoy a classic home-cooked dinner and show.2611 Mcgavock PikeNashville, TN US
Nashville PredatorsRead MoreOn October 7, 2000, the Predators opened the season with a two-game series against the Pittsburgh Penguins just outside Tokyo, Japan. The series drew the largest crowds ever to witness hockey in the nation's history. But just two years prior, Nashville was the new kid on the NHL block. One of the final pieces of a massive expansion effort during the 1990s, the Predators became the 27th franchise in NHL history when they skated to a 1–0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on October 10, 1998. Like many new organizations and racehorses with four left hooves, Nashville stumbled out of the gate, missing the playoffs in each of its first five seasons. That futility came to a sudden halt in 2003-04, when the Predators made their first of four straight postseason appearances.501 BroadwayNashville, TN US
Steve HofstetterRead MoreFounded by Queens native and the Late Late Show vet Steve Hofstetter, Laughing Devil Comedy Club lobbed its inaugural laughs in late 2011. Its debut on the city's comedy scene came after weeks of anticipation and attention in the New York Post, the Queens Courier, and Queens Tribune. Within its intimate, 70-seat venue, bartenders draw from a top-shelf drink menu to forge potions such as The Andy Kaufman's blend of St. Germain, Patrón tequila, and pineapple. They also pour drafts of Chimay Triple, which is brewed in the traditional manner by Belgian prop comics.100 BroadwayNashville, TN US
Ryman AuditoriumRead MoreFounded as the Union Gospel Tabernacle by steamboat captain Thomas Ryman after an angel got trapped in his smokestack, the Ryman Auditorium has since become a different kind of hallowed ground, lovingly referred to as the "mother church of country music." The Grand Ole Opry and The Johnny Cash Show have both taken residence among its wooden pews, and the twanged voices of country legends such as Hank Williams and Patsy Cline have reverberated off the stenciled artwork on the face of the balcony. Today, the venue plays host to a variety of acts, from rock concerts to television specials to comedy shows.116 5th Ave. NNashville, TN US

Items, for example grocery items in a shopping cart or warehoused items being inventoried, are counted by electronically registering flickers from tags attached to, or incorporated into, the items. The registration takes place during an interval of time equal to the flicker repetition rate of the tags. For example, each item's tag might flicker out an identifying signal (preferably from an LED in the tag) in about a thousandth of a second, and repeat this flicker once a second. A detector registers all of the flickers from all of the items during a one-second interval, and thereby counts the items because each will have flickered once during that time. Other items, with different identifying flickers, can be counted during the same interval. Thus, large numbers of various tagged items can be counted rapidly.

attaching to each item to be counted a respective electromagnet radiator, each radiator continually emitting an encoded flicker, the flicker from each radiator being emitted at a regular interval of time, the interval being common to the items be counted and comprising a flicker repetition interval, the flicker repetition interval being longer than a flicker duration;
providing a detector;
registering all of the items with the detector as the items flicker during a time interval equal to the flicker repetition interval; and

This application claims benefit of provisional application 60/577,941, filed on Jun. 8, 2004 by the same applicant, the entire disclosure of which is entirely incorporated herein by reference. This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/287,394, filed on Nov. 4, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,061,395 by the same Applicant and entitled LOCATING ITEMS WITH FLICKERING LAMPS, the entire disclosure of which is entirely incorporated herein by reference. Application Ser. No. 10/287,394 was a division of application Ser. No. 09/987,241, filed by the same Applicant on Nov. 14, 2001 and entitled LAND VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BY FLICKERING LAMPS (application Ser. No. 09/987,241 is now U.S. Pat. No. 6,476,715). The entire contents of application Ser. No. 09/987,241 were entirely incorporated into application Ser. No. 10/287,394 by reference, including those portions of application Ser. No. 09/987,241 that were incorporated therein by reference and do not appear in the text of U.S. Pat. No. 6,476,715. (U.S. Pat. No. 6,476,715 was entirely incorporated by reference into provisional application 60/577,941.) The Applicant's application Ser. No. 09/987,341 claimed benefit of the filing date of Application 60/290,687, filed May 15, 2001 and also incorporated the whole disclosure of that provisional application 60/290,687 by reference. Therefore this continuation application incorporates the subject matter of application 60/290,687 as well as the intervening applications.
My new embodiment to be described below uses flickering lamps in tags attached to respective items in a collection of items. The flickers, which identify each item, preferably repeat at a fixed interval so that, during any time period extending for that interval, each item in the collection will flicker exactly once.
Because of this, a detector that registers the flickers will be able to detect each item during the fixed interval of repetition, which I will refer to as a "repetition interval."
Application 60/290,687 was filed on May 15, 2001. That provisional application was directed mostly to putting a flickering lamp next to a supply of similar items, not on the items themselves, but stated that "the flickering lamp may be attached to each item" (page 11, � 2). Claim 12 of application 60/290,687 recites "an item belonging to a subset of a plurality of items . . . a flickering lamp, associated with the item." The same application at the top of page 5 states, "The lamp may be caused to . . . flicker by a stimulus, or to emit the temporal bar code pattern continuously or continually." The word "continually" means "at regular or frequent intervals" (Random House Dictionary), and "regular intervals" implies a definite and fixed repetition rate. A repetition rate of definite value is also discussed (for vehicles) at page 10, � 2. That same provisional application also defined "bar code" broadly (at page 11, � 4) to include any bar-code type of encoding which uses two states (i.e., digital encoding) and is sequential, so that "bar code" does not cover just standard or particular bar codes like UPC.
Thus, a steady repetition rate of flickering in lamps associated with and/or attached to individual items was disclosed in the May 15, 2001 provisional application 60/290,687.
In an article in Scientific American magazine (vol. 290, no. 1, January 2004, incorporated by reference), Roy Want discusses RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology, which is widely used in retail theft prevention and vehicle registration at toll booths. Want states (page 58, bottom of third column), "higher-frequency [RFID] tags now enable a reader [detector] to identify many individual tags grouped together, even haphazardly—although they are not yet able to distinguish perfectly among all the items in a loaded grocery cart [which] is a major aim of this technology. Once perfected, such RFID scanning should steamline inventory and checkout procedures and save millions of dollars for retailers." Want cites (page 65) The RFID Handbook by Klaus Finkenzeller, published by John Wiley & Sons, which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.
The probable reason that RFID cannot distinguish items jumbled haphazardly is that RFID tags are powered by radio signals from the RFID detector, which means that after they are exposed to the radio energy from the detector, they will respond after a certain interval. (The radio-wave energy they receive is accumulated in a capacitor until there is enough charge to run the tag-signal emitting circuit.) Therefore, if there are two cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, in the grocery cart, the tags on both cans will respond at about the same time, if they are next to each other and similarly oriented. If they are not oriented the same, or are at different distances from the detector, or are more or less obscured by a radio-blocking object (such as a metallic food package), then they will respond at different times.
In any event, there will be no information available from the timing of the identifying signals from the two tags of the two cans.
Also, conventional tags do not have a definite repetition rate at which they send out identification information, so if the tags' information is sent out repeatedly in identifiable bursts, then the repetition interval of any such bursts is not constant or steady.
It appears that, because there is little information available from the timing of the signals from the RFID tags, there is little possibility of using that timing to count the number of one item (e.g., Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size) in the cart.
Picture a grocery cart, full of grocery items, which has been brought near to a detector. Each of the items includes a small solid-state lamp, such as an LED, emitting flickers which identify that item. The flickering mechanism is discussed below. (Radio signals from transmitters can also be used.)
The detector may include various light sensors arrayed around the grocery cart to detect flickers from items jumbled inside other items. Such plural sensors can be ganged and their signals combined to increase the effective detector sensitivity.
The flickers embody the identity of each item in the cart, and may also identify the individual identity of the items in the cart. For example, there may be two or more cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, in the cart. The flickers might identify each can not only as Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz size, but also as a can from a batch manufactured on a certain date, or even as one particular can with its own individual number or alphanumeric. Thus, the flickers from the various cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, might be distinguishable from each other, but also might not, depending on what information is included.
In the case where the flickers only identify each can as Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, and nothing more (or, where the detector does not register that information), the problem arises of counting the number of cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, in the grocery cart. This problem can be solved in several ways.
(1) The flickers from each item can be made to repeat at a predetermined regular time interval (flicker repetition interval) which might be on the order of a second, and that interval is made available or "known" to the detector. Therefore the detector "expects" flickers from each item at that frequency and can count the number of items by counting the number of flickers registered during the interval. For example, if each of the cans flickers at a ten second interval, and the detector has detected during any given ten-second interval five flickers denoting Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, then the detector registers the presence of five cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size, and adds these to the tally of items.
(2) If the detector does not "know" the flickering interval for the items, the detector can count the items of one type (e.g., number of cans of Grandma's Chicken Soup, 16 oz. size) by finding a repeating pattern, over an interval of time longer than the flickering interval of any item possibly being counted. If the flickers from each item are regular in interval, then the pattern of flickers due to a number of the items will repeat, and the detector can be programmed to look for a repeating pattern. Once a repeating pattern is identified, where each flicker corresponds to the single type of item, the number of that item can be found by counting the number of flickers in one recurrence of the pattern. This will work whenever items of one type to be counted all have the same regular interval of repetition, regardless of whether items of different types have different regular intervals of flashing, or whether they are random.
If the regular interval is "known" and supposedly the same for all of the items being counted, then determining if the pattern repeats is a check on the count, since if one of the items is repeating flickers at a different rate, then the pattern will change with time.
(3) Even if the flickers from one type of item do not recur at the same interval, the detector can still count by looking for flickers at steady intervals (which will come from each individual item), and then counting the number of those flickers.
As compared to the typical RFID discussed above, the invention has the great advantage of counting the number of items of one type in a grocery cart, or in some similar situation.
This invention can also be applied to inventory, which also counts items in place. The LED's might be mounted on the tops of the containers being inventoried, so that their flashes will reflect somewhat uniformly from the underside of the next-higher shelf (or from some other reflector) and each item's flicker will better register (and also so that their photovoltaic cells will get light to power the flickers, if photovoltaic cells are used). Flicking lamps can be mounted on various parts or sides of a single item, container, pallet, etc., and all the lamps can be driven by the same drive circuit (or synchronized respective drive circuits).
Each lamp is preferably part of a tag that includes the lamp (preferably an LED), a flicker generator (preferably an integrated circuit), a power source (battery, photovoltaic cell ("solar cell"), capacitor, etc.), and an attachment.
The attachment might be a clip, if the tag is loose, glue if the tag is to be attached, or, any other thing that will attach the lamp or incorporate the lamp in the item, removably or non-removably, depending on the application. The flicker pattern encodes the identity of the item either individually, or by a group or groups that it belongs to, or both. For example, two cans of Grandma's Soup would preferably share the identical flicker pattern, but volumes of an encyclopedia in a library preferably might have flickers that are distinguishable. The tags may be attached to each item in a group, or, alternatively, associated with a supply of items by being attached to or located adjacent to a group, a container, a pallet, a dispenser, or any other collection of the items.
The invention can also comprise a detector that senses and decodes the flickers and registers and/or counts the items.
The invention is not limited to the preferred optical flickers, but also covers radio tags.
An adhesive layer 192 is the preferred attachment for attaching the tag 10 to an item 101 to be counted, but any other kind of attachment can be used instead.
An LED 110 (or plural LED's), which is the preferred flickering lamp, is shown on the surface of the IC chip 100 in
The item identifier is preferably stored in the memory 126 in a PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory); this type of memory is blank until it is permanently set by "burning" on a commercially-available machine, and this can be done via the contacts 144 shown in
Alternatively, if many similar items 101 are to be tagged, then it may be preferable to use a non-programmable memory.
The clock 122, counter 124, memory 126, and/or the LED lamp 110 can all be manufactured on one chip for lower cost and greater reliability.
Flickering light from the LED 110, indicated in
In the best mode of the invention the LED 110 flickers out the identifying flicker at regular intervals of time, which is denoted as the "flicker repetition interval" or "period." This interval, which might be on the order of a relatively large fraction of a second, a few seconds, or even a minute or more, is much longer than the "flickering rate," which is the rate at which the LED turns on and off to modulate its light and send information: the flickering rate is preferably near to a megahertz, with the light turning on and off in about a millionth of a second. The time taken for a complete flicker, which is the "flicker duration," might be about one thousandth of a second, depending on the amount of information transmitted and the flickering rate. Thus, the flicker duration is less than the flicker repetition rate, and preferably is much less.
The electric voltage signal output from the photo diode 210, that follows the intensity of the flickering light, is analyzed and decoded by a decoder 220. Commercially-available bar-code readers, and TV's that have remotes, do the same job, and show that those of skill in the an are familiar with such decoders.
The decoder 220 is coupled to a processor 240 that registers the decoded flickers from the items 101 and counts the number of flickers associated with the items 101 during a predetermined period of time, which is preferably the same period of time—namely, the flicker repetition interval—at which the LED 110 flickers.
Since the flicker duration is less than the flicker repetition rate, the flickers of items 101 will be distinct, distinguishable, and can be counted; and because the flicker repetition rate is common to all the items 101 and also the processor, the number of counted flickers will be equal to the number of flickering items. Thus, the items are counted.
The number of items that can be counted is related to the ratio of the flicker repetition rate to the flicker duration. If that ratio is high (for example, if the flicker repetition rate is five seconds and the flicker duration is five thousandths of a second, for a ratio of 1000), then dozens of items can be counted in five seconds with fair reliability. If the decoder 220 can detect overlapping flickers and count them as two flickers, then hundreds of items will be countable with good reliability, because the odds of three items flickering at once is far less than the probability of two items flickering at once. One example of a more sophisticated method for dealing with overlapping flickers is discussed below.
Coupled to the processor/counter 240 are an input 250 (e.g., a keypad) and an output 260 (e.g., a display showing the type of item and the count). The input and output may also include computers and memory storage devices, a swiped magnetic card reader, another magnetic medium, an optical link, an optical medium, and so on, packaging equipment (for packaging a predetermined number of items), deploying equipment (e.g., sending a certain number of items in one direction on a conveyor and removing the next for testing), equipment for further treatment of counted items, printers, or any other type of equipment that relies on or is related to counting items, containers, pallets, databases, etc.
A clock 222 is coupled preferably to both the decoder 220 and the processor 240 (the processor may have its own internal clock), for the flickering rate and the flicker repetition rate.
Other architectures than that shown in
The flickering lamp light will be easy to decode because a flickering LED produces a very clean signal. An ordinary 660-nm LED has a turn-on or turn-off time of about 200 ns, that is, 2�10−7 s, fifth of a millionth of a second, and that means that the pulses from the LED have hard vertical edges and will appear on an oscilloscope as a "square wave" type of signal.
The flickering rate or binary bit rate can be quite rapid. As noted, an ordinary red LED has an on-off time of about 200 ns, that is, 2�10−7 s or a fifth of a millionth of a second. Because of this rapid switching between light-emitting and non-light-emitting states, short binary-bit pulse intervals of, for instance, 0.5�10−5 s (a two-hundred-thousandth of a second) are practical for transmission by LED. The latter interval is 250 times as long as the first.
Assuming that, to encode the identity of the item, ASCII code is used (for example), each letter or character is represented by seven bits (for example, "B" is 1000010), so an entire transmission comprising 140 bits will take less than one thousandth of a second with the bit length of a two-hundred thousandth of a second from the example above. The bit rate can be adjusted as needed in view of various factors of the electronic hardware and the environment.
The flicker repetition rate (the rate or frequency at which an entire identifier transmission is repeated), in the example above, can be as rapid as 1000 repetitions per second (1 kHz, which is the inverse of the transmission duration: 1/1000 s=1 kHz). But such a high repetition rate is not needed, and a rate substantially lower that the flicker duration is preferred.
Any repetition rate over about twenty per second will appear to the eye as a steady light (due to the persistence of vision) and will not distract a person's attention. For this reason, the repetition rate is preferably lower than the persistence time of the human eye (about a twentieth of a second), so that personnel will be able see the tag 10 blinking and make the items easier to see. The longer the flicker repetition rate, the more items can reliably be counted. The flicker repetition rate should be low enough that the probability of overlapping flickers from different items is low. Conversely, the repetition rate should also be high enough that the user will not have to wait long for the items to register and be counted.
Because it may be desirable to halt the flickering for relatively long intervals, a preferred drive circuit for the lamp 110 might include some kind of delay circuit, so that long periods of non-flickering would not need to be recorded in memory as a monotonous series of 1's or 0's, avoiding a large memory 126 with most memory areas devoted to the time interval between flickers.
Despite the provision of a relatively long quiescent period between flickers, there might be overlaps of flickers from two items both impinging on the photo detector 210 at the same time. Referring to
Because of the signal strength of any one signal is constant, as mentioned above, two overlapping signals can also be separated according to their signal strengths (amplitudes).
This invention also covers an alternative embodiment of the detector (not shown) in which video imaging technology (such as a CCD imaging device) is used. If a collection of items is imaged, spatial isolation as well as temporal isolation of the flickers from the different items is possible. A flickering pixel or pixel group can be detected and filtered from the rest of the image and analyzed. Any simultaneous flickering from another area of the image could be stored for later analysis by a single decoder, avoiding the need for two decoders. A CCD can also be used as a non-imaging photodetector.
The invention is not limited to the particular embodiments specifically recited but rather encompasses all within the scope of the following claims. The present disclosure is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention or of the following claims. The objects of the invention are apparent from the description above.
Any identifying number, character, etc., can be used in this invention. The identifier can be numeric, alphanumeric, alphabetical, or symbolic, or a pure binary number or pattern.
The flickering lamp of this invention can, as an alternative, radiate light in more than one intensity so that the encoding of the item identifier is other than binary. For example, three states would be provided by two light levels of higher and lower intensity and a lamp-off state. However, binary encoding with only one lamp-on state is preferred.
Encoding based on the timing of pulses is also possible. One example would be uniform short light blips, each indistinguishable from the others, but conveying information through their timing (somewhat like FM radio or phase modulation).
In an environment where visible flickers would be distracting, infrared or ultraviolet flickering lamps can be used.
The invention also includes the use of analog encoding and any other encoding that will work in this invention.
Although not preferred, the invention includes tags emitting radio-frequency signals as opposed to optical signals. (There is no clear boundary between the "radio" and "optical" frequencies of electromagnetic waves, and the distinction between radio and optical frequencies is historical, based on the earlier inability to generate and detect electromagnetic waves of intermediate frequencies, such as microwaves, which is possible today.) Radio tags have the advantage that detection is less dependent on a line of sight between the tag and the detector, and the disadvantage that information is sent more slowly and with less directionality. Such radio tags would, like the optical tags described above, emit signals at regular intervals.
The invention contemplates radio tags that have a single period of emitting radio flickers (like the optical flickers discussed above but comprised of radio waves instead of light) at a flicker repetition interval, but are not strongly synchronized to the start of power-supplying radio waves. If the radio tags do not all flicker (send out an identifying information burst) at the same time when exposed to energy-supplying radio waves, then the items to which they are attached can be counted because the detector will not be overwhelmed. There are various ways to accomplish this.
One way is to use an internal battery or photovoltaic cell to power a clock in the radio tag, with radio bursts (flickers) permitted only at the end of a clocked period. Such a radio tag would be similar to the LED-light-emitting tag described above, but would have a transmitter and antenna in place of the LED, and would send "CW" (continuous wave) radio signals, by turning the carrier frequency on and off like Morse code. More sophisticated modulations, such as variable AM, FM, and phase modulation, might also be used.
Another way is for the tags to have a fixed flicker repetition interval once they are powered up, but an at-least-somewhat random time of first response to the powering radio waves, either by the usual manufacturing and environmental variations (if these are sufficient), or by building into the tags some structure to provide a random first flicker; for example, the capacitors that are charged to power the tag's radio emissions might have different random numbers of microfarads, or, each tag could have a random start-delay circuit. Once the tag first flickered, the succeeding flickers would be timed by the internal clock, also powered by the incoming radio waves.
The preferred optical tags can also use this method, which would be useful for tagged items kept in the dark for long periods (so that batteries and photovoltaic cells would run down), or to reduce the cost of photovoltaic cells or batteries.
This invention includes tags that absorb electromagnetic energy at one frequency and flicker out information at another frequency. For example, flickering-LED optical-signal tags can be powered by radio waves, as conventional RFID tags are; and radio-burst flickering tags can be powered by photovoltaic cells.
Above, and in the following claims:
"flicker repetition interval" means the time between the start of one flickered identifier and the start of a succeeding flickered identifier;
"group/identity" means the group or groups to which an item belongs, and/or an individual identity of the item;
"lamp" is any device producing light;
"light" means visible light, far and/or near infrared and ultraviolet light, and
"radio" means all lower frequencies of electromagnetic radiation; and
"radiator" is a device emitting electromagnetic waves.

Root Toolkit for Android™
I wrote this little root utility for myself to help consolidate and automate some root functions that are available in various other apps, but nowhere all together.
Note: this utility does NOT root your Android™ device--it assumes that your device is already rooted.
If you have problems or issues with the app, please contact me via email@example.com with as much detail as you can provide.
* display current root and device state/status
* reboot options (normal, recovery, bootloader)
* power off device
* remount rootfs (/) and/or /system in read-write or read-only mode; note: remount behavior changed in Android™ 4.2 and higher that causes remount effect to not be usable by apps other than the one that initiated the remount
* save (protect) / restore root function; for 4.2 and earlier devices with ext2/3/4 /system partitons; for 4.3 devices, I've implemented Pau Oliva's 4.3+ keeproot.sh functionality; saving root for 5.0+ has not yet been
* freeze (disable) or thaw (enable) an application (use caution when freezing a system app!); see Settings menu to enable display of system apps
* display system (getprop) property values
* calculate an MD5 or SHA1 checksum on any file (navigate to selected file, long-press filename, select desired action)
* options for selected Nexus devices:
-- flash a stock recovery
-- flash various custom recoveries
-- make recovery "stick" (keep stock recovery from overwriting your custom recovery)
-- identify currently installed recovery
* bootloader lock, unlock, status (select Nexus devices: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2nd gen 2013), Nexus 10)
* small (<25mb) partion backup function now supported in v3.9; note: this is NOT meant as a Nandroid backup replacement, but for use in backing-up small, critical partitions that to assist with device recovery; also note that a restore function is NOT included since the target partition is likely to still be open/mounted; useful for backing-up special partitions like EFS.

Review for CYPRESS CREEK FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, Spring, TX, USA
When I first moved to Spring a year ago, I sought out the library near my apartment. From the moment I stepped inside, I was warmly welcomed by staff and volunteers. No question was too strange or annoying either! The entire experience that I've had in borrowing items has been quick, easy and very convenient. I've recommended several people to the BB/Cypress Creek Library numerous times. It's outstanding!
Role: General Member of the Public & I brought friends to the library to learn of their services.

The umpire was decked out in a blue cowl-neck gown with neon yellow straps across the back. Boisterous colors were balanced by minimalist, boxy tailoring.

Henrico Doctors' Hospital named to top-50 list
Becker's Hospital Review magazine has selected Henrico Doctors' Hospital as one of the "50 Best Hospitals in America" for the second year in a row. The award is based on patient safety, clinical outcomes and reputation.
"This distinction would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the physicians, nurses and staff," said Pat Farrell, CEO of Henrico Doctors' Hospital. "They work hard every day to make sure that the patients are put first in everything that we do."
Some of the other facilities on the list include Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Los Angeles, CA), Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH), Duke University Medical Center (Durham, NC), Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, MD), and The Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). According to the publication, "Becker's Hospital Review has named the 50 best hospitals in America, which cover a wide spectrum from well-known academic medical centers to less widely recognized community hospitals that have reached greatness without much fanfare .… Each of these organizations has put patients' needs first, is driven by a variety of innovations and helped to set the bar for high-quality care."
Of HDH, the magazine wrote: "The opening of a cardiac medical intensive care unit and a new ED in Jan. 2011 is the latest phase of its five-year, $100 million renovation. An intra-operative MRI suite opened in April 2010 and the hospital will open a new lobby, a pre-admission testing area, a laboratory and a satellite pharmacy in fall 2011. The hospital was the first in central Virginia to receive patient data via WiFi. Among many distinctions, the hospital received the outstanding achievement award from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, an award given to less than 20 percent of all cancer centers."

1994 Ford Explorer Q&A
1994 Ford Explorer Question: Why when I try to start my car does it not work and instead makes a loud noise.
It doesn't even seem to turn over. After a few tries of trying to start it, it just begins making a loud noise almost as if running. It continues until it seems as if it overheats. It has ran fine all day until now. It won't start at all just continues this. Did I blow my engine more than likely? I had coolant in. Oil was low but I added it to try again. Still no help. Idk what is wrong - Taylorsl
Answer 1
An engine needs fuel and spark to run. Verify that engine has both of these and that fuel is getting into the engine. Any gas smell inside the air cleaner housing when cranking? if you have fuel and spark but no firing, then it could be a mechanical issue. If there is clunking sounds or other loud abnormal sounds that you don't normally hear, it could be a bad bearings, slipped timing chain, or yes; possible major engine damage, especially if it was ran without oil. - 91rolla

A graduate of Kent State University with a degree in communications and film, Harold's official bio states that he has over two decades of experience in independent film and video. [1]
His 2009 documentary, Night Music: The Art of P. Craig Russell, has had public screenings at the Cleveland Museum of Art [2] and the Wexner Center for the Arts [3] in Columbus.
In 2012, Harold created and self-distributed the first volume of P.

[4] Three follow-up volumes have been produced, and a fifth and final installment is in production. [5]
Harold is the founder of the Kent Comic Arts Fest in Kent, Ohio. The event was held at Kent State University on October 19, 2013. Guests included P. Craig Russell, Jill Thompson and other artists of the graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. [6]

By now, you probably heard about the controversy over actress Emma Stone playing a quarter Chinese quarter Islander half White character named Allison Ng and the whitewashing of Hawaii in the movie Aloha. But what would the movie looking like with a real quarter Chinese quarter Islander half White person playing the role? Thanks to some cutting and pasting, this actual quarter Chinese quarter Islander half White person shows us how! We have talked about […] Continue »
2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the completion of the western half of the Transcontinental Railroad by Chinese immigrants.Often, the immigrant Chinese's role in this historic accomplishment has been literally white washed. As part of celebrating Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, the Center for Asian American Media-produced YouTube-hosted mini-documentary presents the story of these 10,000 forgotten workers through photographs, paintings and political cartoons from the period.
With the recent ATR-72 TransAsia Airways plane crash in Taiwan and the Asian airplane tragedies in the last couple of years, I thought it was important for me to weigh in on the question of whether Asians pilots can fly airplanes. Before I get started, I'm going to go on a huge limb here and say that this is a dumb stereotype that is related to the equally dumb stereotype that Asians can't drive. (I address […] Continue »
In the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live, the show does quite a funny parody of a politically correct television commercial for an "Asian American Doll" – mocking many past mistakes of namely, the makers of Barbie, Mattel, for perpetuating a wide variety of bad stereotypes (including most recently this controversy: Mattel Pulls Sexist Barbie Book "I Can Be A Computer Engineer" Off Amazon). One thing I would like to criticize though is that […] Continue »

Harvard and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have been sued for their admissions practices by the organization Project for Fair Representation. The suit says that Harvard and UNC Chapel Hill are making admissions harder for Asian Americans than those of other races, citing enrollment figures like these show that despite growing numbers of Asian Americans applicants in the population, the percentage of races has remain rather steady. These lawsuits generate many questions in […] Continue »
by Leeland Lee What's the only thing worse than discrimination? How about discrimination topped with self-discrimination? Hitting various news outlets today is a report that Cesar Ramirez, head chef of the swank Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, openly discriminated against Asian patrons, routinely referring to them as "shit people," according to ex-server Emi Howard in a lawsuit. Ramirez allegedly instructed his staff to serve Asian customers inferior scraps of meat at his three-Michelin star French-Asian […] Continue »
The recent talk at Harvard about being Asian American on college campus made me reflect. During my senior year at Claremont McKenna College, I was the head chair of the Chinese Student Association (CSA), which was a 5-college organization that spanned the Claremont Colleges. The primary reason I joined the group was because I was at the time sort of a Chinese language and culture fanatic. I had gone on the Taiwanese Love Boat, my […] Continue »
So I was re-reading "Catcher in the Rye" twenty years after I first read it as a high school teen, and aside from feeling annoyed about viewing the world through the eyes of a rich white boy, I was extra annoyed by this little discussion between Holden and his smarty pants friend Luce in chapter 19. They're discussing Luce's new girlfriend: "She happens to be from Shanghai." "No kidding! She Chinese for Chrissake?" "Obviously." "Why? […] Continue »
Recently, Kristina Wong was featured in New York Times in a video series called "Off Color", and I visited her artist website and also discovered her satire dating site about the objectification of Asian women, BigBadChineseMama.com, where she and volunteers basically make fun of the fetishization of Asian women. Wong cracks me up, and her way of throwing apple pie in your face and then having you realize it's actually a pie full of turd […] Continue »
Aasif Mandvi discusses the identity issues of being Muslim and South Asian with Huffington Post. He and his new book No Land's Man is also featured on NPR's Fresh Air.
One weekend evening when I was home, I remembered I wanted to see and wound up watching To Be Takei via Comcast On Demand and thoroughly enjoyed the film. After viewing the documentary, I thought about what a remarkable life Takei has had, experiencing life as a child growing up in a World War II Japanese internment camp, to becoming a breakthrough and iconic Japanese American and Asian American actor (and in the closet) in […] Continue »

The Sunnah is the most authentic explanation and elaboration of the Word of Allah. Many worthy collections of Hadith of the Prophet have been compiled and translated into English. Yet very few, however, have been compiled especially for children and young people, and this collection is intended to fill this gap.
This collection presents twenty sound Ahadith that will appeal to all ages, but are especially suitable for young people, taking into consideration their needs and interests. In translation and brief commentary that follows each Hadith, an effort has been made to use plain language and explanation for the ordinary mind. Moreover, useful exercises have also been added. In this way, this collection will be greatly beneficial for the young Muslims.
This small book has been the collaborative effort of many. It is our hope that this collection of Ahadith will serve as a useful introduction to the timeless wisdom of the last Prophet of Islam both at home and in the classroom.
