Recent Cape Cod reviews
"I stayed at this amazing house with my friends and family for a week and everyone remarked that it was one of the greatest houses they had ever vacationed in! The pictures don't even do it justice! The facilities were excellent. All the bedrooms are very comfortable and my guests did not feel at all cramped. There was even a bedroom on the first floor which was perfect for my grandmother so she wouldn't have to climb stairs. There are multiple refrigerators and it was easy to cook large meals for all 20 guests. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, and when it got cold at night we made fires in living room fireplace. The gigantic dining room/living room is incredibly unique. It's rare that an old Cape house has such a large open gathering space. Lee and Brian were incredibly accommodating hoss and they are very responsive to email and phone communication. All in all, we enjoyed the trip so much that my friends called me the day we got home and demanded that we make staying at here an annual summer event!"Guest: The izz Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 14, 2015View listing
"Sear's Point has been a summer tradition for our family for eight years now. Private beach, tennis and pool make it ideal for families. Accommodation is spacious, clean and comfortable with all the amenities of home! Highly recommend."Guest: cape bound Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 25, 2014View listing
"I was wary about renting due to the bad review listed on here. However, that review could not be more untrue. The home was clean, and very well decorated. The owners were very attentive to our needs and made our stay that much better. The house accommodated all 10 of my friends and myself spaciously. It had a great yard and very friendly neighbors. Additionally, it was in a great location to the grocery stores, beaches, restaurants, shopping, etc. I highly recommend this home to anyone. I look forward to my next stay."Guest: Ashley M. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"This vacation home, close to the ocean, bay, ponds and town, has everything one could ask for: beautful and comfortable sun room , great kitchen, well stocked with every conceivable utensil, excellent deck, plenty of room and a master bathroom (many places have bedrooms smaller than the extraordinary slate shower) second to none. Wonderfully enjoyable."Guest: Bill W. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: October 1, 2014View listing

Cain and Romney were Right Not to Sign SBA List's Ridiculous Pledge!

Cardinal Charlie: Norbert Swierz's life made for the moviesPublished 9:49pm Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Not too long ago I had a column where I had an old friend who had passed away down in Florida at age 96.
Not too long after his death another good friend of mine down in Florida also died.
It was another one I've written about in several columns. He was 92 years old and his name was Norbert Swierz.
Norbert grew up in his early life and graduated in 1938 from Dowagiac High School.
He was 10 years older than me. He lived out on old M-40 North (now M-51).
In the summer of 1935, a fire consumed his mother's place, the Moonlight Inn, on the corner of M-51 and Corwin Street.
He said that they got the supplies from Judd Lumber Co.
He left home in 1941 for Canada and was issued Royal Canadian Air Force clothing. The next thing he was headed to England on a boat. It was there he signed up for the U.S. Army Air Corps.
He finally ended up as a gunner on a B-17 bomber. He was credited with shooting down seven German aircraft.
One of his B-17s was called "Bomb Boogie." Another one was called "Old Ironsides." The first time he was injured and the plane crashed, they were rescued by the British Air Sea Rescue.
He later got up to 13 sorties of the 25 required missions. He wrote in his book he had the pleasure of meeting and drinking with movie star Clark Gable.
He had to bail out of the Bomb Boogie at 20,000 feet and free fell at least 8,000 feet as he didn't have an oxygen tank on his leg like he was supposed to.
It was not in his book, but he later told me the German pilot who shot his B-17 down circled him several times as he floated down, but finally made a close pass, threw back the canopy, gave Norbert a salute and flew back to Germany.
It was on this jump he was captured by the Germans.
I've written about him being a POW in Stalag 17.
It was Feb. 16 when I first got to know my good friend Norbert and we talked and exchanged letters during the 2 1/2 years we were such good friends.
I feel so bad we never got to shake hands, though we kept hoping to get together.
He always told me how many memories of Dowagiac I had given him.
He once told me two of his prison buddies tried to escape. One was killed outright. He said he and another buddy went out and dragged the wounded POW back to the barracks.
He said many years later at a reunion he met the man he had saved and his wife.
Norbert was also an artist. He sent me a framed oil painting and a DVD of one of his many interviews. He told me after so many saw the picture and article about a 92-year-old Dowagiac man flies again in a B-17 (I was one of them). It was in an Associated Press picture of him and a B-17 that he took a ride at 92.
When Norbert died there were nice write-ups in the Florida papers. I never knew how popular he had become. I always told him what a wonderful movie could be made out of the life he lived.
It almost brings tears to my eyes when we go out M-51 North and pass the building that used to be the Moonlight Inn, the home of my friend Norbert.

Product description
Millions of readers worldwide have treasured the visionary brilliance of Carlos Castaneda, who first explore the world of the Yaqui Indian sorcerer in The Teachings of don Juan. Now, at last, don Juan returns in "The Power of Silence"--wise, infuriating, capable or working miracles and playing practical jokes, but always seeking the wisdom of the warrior. "The Power of Silence" is Castaneda's most astonishing book to date -- a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan's mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda's unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves -- unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan -- and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda

AMERICA/BOLIVIA - Malnutrition and lack of health care and hygiene for children who live with their parents in prisons
La Paz (Agenzia Fides) - Bolivia is one of the few countries where inmates can live in cells with their children. It is an irregular situation which, besides being dangerous for the integrity of children who are subjected to deficiencies in health care, education and food, it penalizes their normal development. In fact, in addition to having to live with criminals in an environment full of violence, most children eat just once a day. There is no fund to cover their food needs, and if the parents do not produce an income, they have to settle for leftovers. In addition, the children have to wait at least two weeks to be able to wash themselves, there is lack of qualified medical assistance, and many of them sleep under their parents' bed or in the corners better equipped for the purpose. There are no spaces for recreation or school material for them to study. Hundreds of children are thus condemned to live among violence, projected towards a future of suffering compounded by malnutrition that in the young ones under 5 years of age, causes irreversible damage, delays in physical and mental growth.

He went out conquering and to complete his conquest.
The descriptive prophecy in Revelation chapter 6 gave reason to expect that after God's Kingdom was established, there would be a rapid deterioration of world conditions
Sunday, June 28
The spirit and the bride keep on saying: "Come!" And let anyone hearing say: "Come!" And let anyone thirsting come; let anyone that wishes take life's water free.
Seeing the spiritually destitute condition of those to whom we preach deepens our appreciation for the truth. People in the world have no reliable guidance to help them achieve success and happiness. Most worry about the future and have no hope. They search for the meaning of life. Even most who are religious have little knowledge of the Scriptures. They are much like the people of ancient Nineveh. (Jonah 4:11) When we have an increased share in the ministry, we see more clearly the contrast between the spiritual condition of those to whom we preach and that of Jehovah's people. (Isa. 65:13) We are reminded of Jehovah's goodness in that he does more than provide for our spiritual needs; he invites all to receive spiritual refreshment and a real hope. w13 9/15 5:4
Monday, June 29
They were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.
Why were the crowds in such a sad condition? Because those who had the responsibility of teaching the people God's Law were harsh, demanding, and hypocritical. Rather than helping and nurturing members of their flock, Israel's spiritual leaders put "heavy loads" on their shoulders. (Matt. 23:4) Present-day Christian shepherds

15018dead/unconnected battery

After nearly a year of fairly trouble-free Inspiron 4k + RedHat

Although it is sitting in its bay, and I am connected to AC power,
the battery icon on my Gnome applet is GREY (w/ lightning bolt),
the same as when the battery is out of the bay entirely. When I
remove the battery and reinsert it, I get a quick "Low Battery 0%"
warning, and that is all (turns briefly white/charging, then
reverts to grey again).
Moreover, I know the battery is really not supplying any juice
because when I disconnect AC, the machine goes down instantly.
Anyone else (ever) have this problem? I would like to investigate
options before mailing the battery in to Dell...
Thanks in advance,

The Zuikoholics (of which I am a member) will tell you that the best 50/1.8 is the last version (says "Made in Japan" along the front of the lens) and the best 50/1.4 is those with a serial number higher than 1.1 million (I've never seen anything saying exactly when the last edition came out).
Personally, when my 50/1.8 started to go (sticky aperture blades) and wasn't worth being fixed I picked up a 50/1.4 and noticed it was much sharper. I don't know what the serial number of the 50/1.8 was but the 1.4 is in the low 1 millions so I suspect that it's the last version or at least the 2nd last version while my 50/1.8 was probably an earlier version.
I had a chance to compare a 50/1.8 and 1.4 in a camera shop several years earlier and I remember not noticing much difference in the brightness in the finder. But, with the difference in the lenses that I had I did find the 1.4 was easier to focus but I suspect this was due to it being a better lens (it's really sharp).

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Interested in game making? Start in Unity—a game engine for mobile and desktop games and real-time simulations. Author Adam Crespi shows techniques used in game development with Unity and introduces the basics of scripting and game functionality. First, learn how to import models and textures, organize your project and hierarchies, and add terrain, water, and foliage. Next, Adam explores how to use lighting to bring the game to life, and add rendering, particles, and interactivity. The end result is a sample game with a lush environment, fully animated characters, and some basic interactive gameplay.
As we've seen through out the course. Testing, testing, and testing again is highly important in developing the game. There are somethings we simply can't see until we get in and play. Once we're getting everything really together and we finally can see all of our parts coming in, we can get into our game window, and really configure what we're seeing in the statistics and the aspects. I'll start off by configuring the game as I'd like to see it when it's played. Dropping down under Free Aspect, and choosing Stand Alone for example.
I had set this up as a Stand Alone 1280 by 720. So when I make sure that I play, I actually see it at that resolution. I've had on statistics here in my Game window as well. And what these let me do is see what's going on as this game plays. What's going on with the main thread and the renderer. How many draw calls am I dealing with? How many million tries to do I have? And how many megabytes of texture? What's going on with our render textures? And that really decides how much we spend on reflective surfaces. I can see in here, what's happening with my screen and how much RAM I'm using.
And how much is available. I can also deal in, how many possible shadow casters I have, invisible skin meshes. The three Mayama. It'll tell me how many animations I have, and if anybody is networking. We can use these statistics, especially if we're dealing with a platform that has a limit to really calibrate our game, deciding what to optimize and what absolutely has to stay in. I'll try playing again. And what I'll also do in here is show the scene and the game windows side by side so I can see that Occlusion culling. I'll take my game window, and drag it down here next to the console.
I'll pull this up a little bit, so I can see my scene, and I'll make sure here in the scene window, that I've got that occlusion on, choosing Window, and Occlusion Culling. I'll press Play, and see how it looks in Game. I can already see, it looks different when its constrained down to that 16 by 9. It went full screen, and that's because I left maximize on Play checked. I'll stop temporarily, and I'll turn off Max on Play. This is where stuff gets neat. What I'm seeing in here is in the Scene window, the occlusion culling is really working.
As I move around, we can see things coming and going, depending on what we're seeing. I'll move forward in the scene, bump into the column, and go out the doors. And we can definitely see things changing. It's working nicely, and I can really tell what's there and what's not. I can see that batching in action, and watch those draw calls go down depending on how far I'm seeing. Now I'll turn back on Maximize on Play, and take a look at it full screen. It's important to do this, to check out your game in the right size. You may be calibrating for a certain aspect or certain size, and you need to make sure that you're using the frame much as a cinematographer would to frame the action.
Now you may say, wait a sec, it's a navigable place. We can go anywhere. But, how we see that frame, the size of it affects how we perceive our space. If it's taller, more square, wider, whatever it is, we get a different feel as we see it. So we need to consider that as part of testing our play. And we can also look at our statistics, seeing how our draw calls are called down depending on how big that screen is. Now that I've really seen my occlusion culling working, and I can see really how does it look within that frame, I can see if there's anywhere else to optimize this game.
Are there any other textures I can reduce in size, now that I really see them at the right res? Are there any other objects maybe I should replace with a prefab? Again, so I can batch further. Is there anything else in here I can do to reduce down what lights you're seeing? Or if there's anywhere else where I can lessen the shadow quality, and make it just a little bit easier to draw? Using those statistics is really vital. And it takes some time to go through and troubleshoot, and optimize as much as possible. Some of it you should do along the way. Carefully constructing your prefabs, textures, and animations. Making sure that, in as many places as possible, you're using a modular approach to building the game. But sometimes you have to get it all together, play it, and go back and optimize using those statistics to learn what's going on.

All quotes tagged Minded
(8527 quotes found)
"The best minds come from the most unexpected faces and places. There is no image for intelligence or genius. Genius is something that cannot be seen. It cannot be produced or manufactured. It is something that even the true genius thinks is unattainable. The genius recognizes he's just a small pea in a sea of infinite atoms. Knowledge is as infinite as the universe. The man who claims to know all, only reveals to all -- that he really knows nothing."
"Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation."
"Some people have this stereotype in their mind that you have to be the son or daughter of Bruce Lee, physically fit, trim and able to fight off an army of uzi-toting, dope-sucking, psychopathic killing machines. That is not the prerequisite."
"I think LPGA players for a long time were afraid to say what's on their minds. But we're doing all the right things and there's nothing wrong with having some great personalities and rivalries and some friction. I think that's really good for the sport."
"If he starts ripping the cover off the ball, that always puts a thought in your mind to keep him. Playing everyday in the outfield is a better thing for him right now, so one thing I don't want is him here coming off the bench and being a pinch-hitter."
"Earlier in the year, our mind-set when losing a third period lead was to hang our heads. But now the mind-set is there and it has been for the last month."
"I ask my over-35 readers to keep an open mind as you look at the evidence here that the deck is stacked against the young."
"Most Ontarians don't mind waiting a reasonable time for treatment. What they don't like is having somebody jump ahead of them."

The invention relates to a disc-shaped counter, in particular a casino chip, essentially consisting of at least one ring-shaped plastic part and a filler piece held inside a recess in this plastic part, which is applied on to the filler piece in such a way that the plastic ring surrounds the rim of the filler piece radially and axially in an at least partly form-fitting fashion. The filler piece and/or plastic ring contain a material that is detectable in slot-machines. The plastic ring is preferably applied on to the filler piece by a plastic injection moulding process. The counter according to the invention has a more attractive design, is considerably easier and cheaper to produce, and has greater durability, than conventional counters with inserts.
1. A disc-shaped counter (1), comprising at least one ring-shaped plastic part (2) and a filler piece (3) held inside a recess in the plastic part, characterized in that the plastic ring (2) is applied on to the filler piece (3) in such a way that the plastic ring (2) surrounds the rim (5) of the filler piece (3) radially and axially in an at least partly form-fitting fashion and in that the material for the filler piece (3) is a plastic material.

an outer ring having an inner peripheral groove therein;
an inner plastic filler piece having an outer periphery received and held within the inner peripheral groove of said outer ring; and
a plurality of metal particles disposed on, within, or both on and within said inner plastic filler piece.

8. A disc-shaped counter, comprising:
an outer ring having an inner peripheral groove therein;
an inner plastic filler piece having an outer periphery received and held within the inner peripheral groove of said outer ring; and
at least one metal foil layer disposed on, within or both on and within said inner plastic filler piece.
9. The disc-shaped counter of
This is a divisional of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/458,327, filed Dec. 10, 1999.
The invention relates to a disc-shaped counter in the form of a plastic ring with a filler piece, according to the introductory part of claim 1. Examples of possible applications of the subject-matter of the present invention are: playing chips for casinos or amusement arcades, tokens for sales promotions, value-tokens, gaming machine tokens, parking tokens, shopping tokens, and identity tokens e.g. for use in hotel chains.
A disc-shaped plastic counter of this kind is known for example from the subject-matter of EP 444373 A1. In this known plastic counter, the filler piece is inserted in a central recess of a plastic ring, the filler piece being pressed into, and held in place by, an inner peripheral annular groove in the plastic ring.
One drawback of this technique is the increased assembly and logistical costs due to the fact that, after the plastic part and the filler piece have been separately produced, it is necessary to insert the filler piece into the central recess of the plastic part in a separate working step.
Another drawback is that the joint between the outer ring-shaped part and the inner filler piece is a simple sticking joint (frictional connection); such a snap-in connection is not necessarily capable of withstanding heavy stresses.
A further drawback of the embodiments according to EP 444373 A1 is that the filler piece, which is the element which is stamped or engraved with the significant information, is inlaid in the plastic ring about level with the surface of the latter, and is thus exposed to increased mechanical wear and tear (e.g. scratching)—shortening the useful life of disc-shaped plastic counters of this type.
Nor is it known, in conventional disc-shaped plastic counters of this kind that are used as tokens, to insert a filler piece which could render the tokens suitable for use in slot-machines, since the appropriate additional metallic materials are not employed.
Therefore the problem which lies at the basis of the invention is to develop a plastic counter of the kind stated at the outset so that it is more attractive in appearance; considerably easier and cheaper to produce; more durable; and also suitable for use in conventional slot-machines (e.g. gaming machines).
The essential features of the invention are that the disc-shaped counter essentially consists of at least one ring-shaped plastic part and a filler piece held inside a recess in this plastic part, which is applied on to the filler piece in such a way that the plastic ring surrounds the rim of the filler piece radially and axially in an at least partly form-fitting fashion, and that the filler piece and/or plastic ring contains a material that is detectable in conventional slot-machines.
The plastic ring is preferably applied on to the filler piece by an injection moulding process, but can also be applied by other methods such as bonding, pressing, pouring, shrinking on, clamping on, or the like.
A completely secure form-fitting joint is thus formed between the plastic part and the rim of the filler piece, without any significant mechanical stresses; the need for further processing of the plastic counter is eliminated; and the useful life of the plastic counter is considerably extended in comparison with conventional plastic counters of a similar kind.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plastic ring is applied over the whole circumference of the filler piece, within a certain peripheral region; however, it is also possible to surround (radially and/or axially) only parts of the peripheral region of the filler piece with the plastic ring.
The plastic ring is preferably highly resistant to wear and abrasion, and capable of undergoing any desired form of graphic design; it may be made either in the same colour as the filler piece, or in any other desired colour. Alternatively, it can for example be made transparent or translucent, and be provided with lenticular faces. The rim of the plastic ring may be made in a variety of forms, and may be e.g. round, polygonal, or the like. The primary benefit of high abrasion-resistance is the prevention of so-called white fracture at the edges of the plastic ring (phase separation of elastomeric from thermoplatic component), and also on the graphic design itself.
The exposed surface of the plastic ring and/or filler piece may be provided with a mechanical impression, such as a face value, and this can additionally be in the form of an embossed coding e.g. in braille or the like.
To provide security against forgery, security printing processes, and additional pigments, colourings, etc., can also be employed on or in the plastic ring and on or in the filler piece.
Pigments employed may be fluorescent and/or luminescent security elements which can be excited e.g. by ultraviolet radiation, visible light, an electrical field, or even thermal radiation. It is also possible to incorporate glass beads or elements possessing special light-reflecting effects within the plastic ring and/or filler piece, either on their own or in combination with the abovementioned security elements. Holograms may also be provided as a security feature in or on plastic ring and/or filler piece. By placing specially prepared films inside, or on the surface of, the counter, the counter can be personalized, or individually marked in some other way, e.g. by means of a laser.
The plastic ring and/or filler piece can be printed by all known printing processes. Very precise colours and very high colour fidelity, with very strong colour tones, can be obtained. In accordance with the invention a very large display area is available for such printing, including practically the entire surface of the plastic ring and filler piece, and also, if a suitably transparent surface is provided, the interior of the plastic ring and filler piece.
Preferred materials for the plastic ring are injection-mouldable thermoplastics such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polyamide, polyoxymethylene, polybutylene glycol terephthalate, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyphenyl siloxane, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate, or butadiene-styrene block copolymer; or polyurethane etc. The thermoplastic material for the plastic ring can also be thermochromic, e.g. one changing colour at 32�.
To improve the handling quality of the surface of the plastic ring, at least one suitable other plastic material possessing lower hardness and higher roughness and thus giving the counter a high-quality, attractive "soft touch" may additionally be applied to at least parts of the outer region of the plastic ring.
The preferred material for the filler piece is a metal alloy (coin), enabling the counter to be used both at the casino table and in a gaming machine or other slot-machine. The metallic filler piece must therefore be capable of being detected, for example by inductive or capacitive methods.
The metal filler piece has a central impression region on its surface, on which information such as a face value, or any other number, is shown.
As an alternative to the coin as filler piece, a plastic filler piece yielding special effects may be used, but care must be taken to ensure that it is suitable for use in a slot-machine, that is to say, the counter must be detectable e.g. by inductive and/or capacitive methods. A possible way of achieving this is to incorporate fine metal particles 9, suitable for use in slot-machines, within the material of the plastic filler piece, and/or apply such particles to its surface. (See FIG. 4). These metal particles 9 may be magnetic, or may be magnetizable in which case they constitute a detectable security and/or registration mark. The usual size of such metal particles 9, which are also called "tinsel", is around 100 μm. It is also possible to apply or incorporate a metallic layer 10 on or in the plastic body of the inserted piece, in which case the laminated plastic filler pieces can be stamped, easily and at low cost, out of sheets of material. (See FIG. 5)
Like the plastic ring, the filler piece is preferably more or less disc-shaped, and the edge or edges can show the same variants as the plastic ring.
Both the plastic ring and the filler piece are preferably made rotationally symmetrical, in their annular form and disc form respectively.
To improve the connection between the plastic ring and the filler piece, e.g. more or less axial extensions can be provided on the plastic ring and/or filler piece which in the overlapping marginal region project from the plastic ring into the filler piece and/or from the filler piece into the plastic ring.
The filler piece is preferably centred in the plastic ring in both axial and radial directions, and so has optimal protection against mechanical damage. This is all the more important because the most significant information is preferably displayed on the filler piece, in a central impression region of its surface.
Furthermore, the stackability of the counters can be improved by providing small ridges and/or grooves extending more or less axially from the surface of the plastic ring. When the counters are stacked on one another, a ridge on one counter will then engage in a groove in the adjacent counter. Alternatively, an axial annular ridge may be provided on the plastic ring on one side of the counter, and another axial annular ridge, but of smaller diameter, on the other side of the counter. These ridges of different diameters then engage in one another when two counters are placed one on top of the other, so that extremely stable, tall stacks can be obtained.
Other notable features of these materials are their good chemical resistance and light fastness, and the pleasing chink of the counters when used as gaming chips.
Choice of counter size includes the 36 and 40 mm diameters of the EU standard, and diameters of 34, 38, 43 and 45 mm are also possible.
The weight that can be obtained, if the selected material is polypropylene with 50% glass or polyamide and polyoxymethylene with approximately 70% barium sulphate added, is about 10 grams.
Owing to the fact that the filler piece extends over the whole area of the plastic part (and is not located only in the central region), considerably greater volume and weight are obtained. This is one of the essential requirements for amusement arcade tokens, which must have a certain minimum weight. With the subject-matter of the present invention this minimum weight can be obtained very easily, as the filler piece extends over practically the entire outer diameter of the token and is not restricted to the central region only.
The subject-matter of the present invention derives not only from the subject-matter of the individual claims but also from the individual claims taken in combination. All details and features disclosed in the documents, including the Abstract, and especially the physical form illustrated in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention in so far as they are novel, whether separately or in combination, with respect to the state of the art.
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to drawings illustrating just one way of carrying out the invention. Further features essential to the invention and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the drawings and their description.
FIG. 1 shows a section along the axis of symmetry through a plastic counter according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the plastic counter of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the separate filler piece.
FIG. 4 shows a section along the axis of symmetry through a plastic counter according to the invention incorporating metal particles.
FIG. 5 shows a section along the axis of symmetry through a plastic counter according to the invention incorporating metal foil layers.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the general composition of a disc-shaped counter 1 according to the invention, in section and top view respectively, the whole counter 1 being rotationally symmetrical about the axis of rotation 6. The plastic ring 2 surrounds the rim 5 of the filler piece 3 in a form-fitting manner, providing protection from mechanical damage to the filler piece 3 together with the information stamped in the impression region 4. The plastic ring 2 is made from a plastic material that is mechanically and chemically extremely robust, and is resistant to radiation.
About one-third of the radial width of the plastic ring 2 is penetrated by the rim 5 of the filler piece 3 in the example shown here; in other embodiments, half or three-quarters or more of the width of the plastic ring 2 may be radially penetrated by the filler piece 3.
The ratio between the axial dimensions of the filler piece 3 and plastic ring 2 is around 1:3 in the example shown; the plastic ring 2 is preferably made about three times as thick as the filler piece 3.
As further protection from mechanical damage, the edges of both the outer rim and the inner rim of the plastic ring 2 are bevelled, forming mechanically robust inner peripheral facets 7 and outer peripheral facets 8.
The impression region 5 is located approximately centrally with respect to the filler piece 3, and is provided on both sides. The same or different information can be shown on each side.
FIG. 3 shows a top view of a separate insert piece 3 with its central impression region 4. It is evident, when this figure is viewed in conjunction with FIG. 2, that the rim portion 5 of the insert piece 3 held in the plastic ring 2 represents some 10% of the diameter of the insert piece 3. This rim portion 5 of the insert piece 3 may, however, be made more than 10% to add strength to the joint between the plastic ring 2 and the insert piece 3.

Sabrina: Yes. Southern women think hats look stupid on them. And please, unless you're in a windstorm do not wear your baseball cap backwards or on the side. But donning a hat to me is most uplifting and most transforming. Atlanta is a very casual dress town. Let's add some panache. Let's pull something out besides blue jeans.
Jett: There's definitely a lack of hat wearers but it makes the ones who do a little more individual. I like it. I'm a rock star. I need all the attention I can get. I've worn hats all my life. You have to be born a hat person. We're a dying breed. Nothing sexier than a chick in a cowboy hat. But Atlanta is definitely a hairdo city. Some of these guys walk around here looking like the Thundercats.
Emily: Atlantans are definitely wearing hats again, especially the guys. You see a lot of guys at the clubs wearing the little fedora top hats, very 1980s, like the Clash. It's really cute. Hats are never out of style and Atlanta has style. A hat is a great accessory. It adds a lot personality. It can transform a whole look.
