An automated in-line mailing (AIM) system of the type comprising sequentially a continuous sheet-web (20), a sheet cutter (10), an accumulator (12), a folder (14), a collector (16) and an envelope inserter raceway (24) is controlled by hyphens, or indicia, (60) on the sheet web (20). A control system includes a scanner (56) for sequentially sensing the web indicia (60) upstream of a cutting blade (30). The scanner is linked to a one-way clutch drive (114) to activate a plurality of opposed mutilated rollers (88, 90) positioned in the accumulator (12). The control system also includes a trailing edge sensor (122) for sensing a trailing edge of an accumulation of sheets as they are discharged from the accumulator (12). The control system senses when a set of sheets has been cut by the cutter (10) and, in response thereto, deenergizes the cutter (10) with a first sheet of a following set extending beyond a cutter blade of the cutter (10) and energizes the accumulator (12) to eject the completed set into the folder (14) to be folded as a unit and deposited with the collector (16). Once the collector has collected a group of sets it is ordered by the control system to dump them on the inserter raceway (24).

11. A method as in claim 10 wherein the further processing step performed on said individual sheets of said firstly-cut group by said accumulator means is to collect them into a pile and eject the thusly collected pile.
This invention relates generally to the art of sheet handling machines, and more specifically to such machines for preparing mass mailings.
Automated in-line mailing (AIM) systems have been designed including cutters, register tables, folders, collectors, and inserters. Sometimes, in such a system the cutter receives a preprinted sheet web which it cuts into individual sheets. These sheets are sequentially, automatically, fed to the register table which straightens and feeds them to a folder. The folder, in turn, folds the sheets into appropriate sizes and feeds them to a collector which collects the folded sheets until a set corresponding to one letter is collected. The collector then ejects, or "dumps" the set, or letter, onto an insert raceway which moves the letter through insert stations. Appropriate inserts are deposited at the insert stations onto the letter. Thereafter, the inserts and letter are stuffed into an envelope which is closed for mailing.
Using indicia printed on the margins of the preprinted sheet web to control the operation of various elements of an above-described AIM system is taught in Hams U.S. Pat. No. (4,034,973). A characteristic of this AIM system, however, is that it folds individual sheets prior to collecting them, thus the sheets of multipage letters are not folded together.
Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide an AIM system which folds the sheets of multipage letters or sets, together, even when the numbers of sheets for successive sets vary. Similarly, it is an object of this invention to provide such an AIM system which allows the collection of a group of folded sets.
It is also an object of this invention to provide an effective control system and accumulating mechanism for handling varying quantities of sheets as they are received from the cutter and delivered to the folder for such an AIM system.
A difficulty with some prior-art AIM systems is that when cutters thereof are reactivated for cutting a next set, sufficient sheet web must first be fed past a cutting element thereof, thereby taking an undue amount of time.
It is therefor a further object of this invention to provide such a control system for an AIM system which is relatively fast, reliable but yet uncomplicated.
According to principles of this invention, a control system for controlling the flow of sheets through an AIM system fully integrates operations of a cutter, an accumulator, a folder, and an inserter. The control system includes a scanner for sequentially reading a column of indicia on a supplied web upstream of a blade of the cutter. The information received by the scanner and passed to the control system controls the number of sheets accumulated in the accumulator and the subsequent ejection of the accumulated sheets to the folder for folding them into a single letter. The distance between the cutter and folder is adjustable and the accumulator forms a transition therebetween. In this respect, the accumulator has an expandable bottom plate with adjustable edge guides, so that is can be adjusted to handle various size sheets. The accumulator also includes opposing mutilated rollers and a trailing edge sensor at its discharge end. The trailing edge sensor is linked to the control system and to a web and cutter drive.
Information from the indicia on the web is supplied by the scanner to the control system which provides command signals to a one-way clutch which, in turn, activates the mutilated rollers at proper times to discharge accumulated sets of sheets from the accumulator and feed them to the folder for folding them ino a single letter. As the trailing edge of each set of accumulated sheets leaves the accumulator, the trailing edge sensor sends a signal to the control system to activate the web and cutter to proceed with cutting the next individual sheet or set of individual sheets. The folder, upon completion of folding the sets of sheets into single letters, discharges the folded letters into a collector which, in turn, dumps groups of folded sets onto an insert raceway. The control system deactivates the cutter with a first sheet of a following set extending beyond a cutter blade in order to save time when the cutter is reactivated.
In a "two-up" embodiment of this invention, the cutter slits the web down the middle as well as cutting it into sheets, so that side-by-side sheets are produced. These sheets travel along parallel channels through the accumulator, the folder and the collector. In turn, the collector dumps the folded letters onto an insert raceway.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more specific description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating principles of the invention in a clear manner.
FIG. 1 is a simplified, isometric, partially-schematic, diagram of an AIM system employing principles of this invention;
FIG. 1a is a schematic diagram of the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2 is a fragmented sectional view of the AIM system taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmented sectional view of the AIM system taken on line 3--3 of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 4a and 4b are enlarged sectional views taken on line 4--4 in FIG. 3 at different time intervals in a sequence of operations.
An AIM (automatic in-line mailing) system of this invention comprises a FIMA sheet-web cutter 10, an accumulator 12, a continuously running buckle folder 14, a collector 16, and an inserter 18.
The general operation of the AIM system of FIG. 1 is that the FIMA sheet-web cutter 10 cuts a sheet-web 20 into individual sheets which are deposited in a pile onto the accumulator 12 until a set (such as a letter) is accumulated thereon. The accumulator then ejects the sheet pile into the buckle folder 14 which folds the pile into letter size and deposits it with the collector 16. The collector 16, once it has received a proper number of folded piles, and once inserter raceway pins 22 are in appropriate positions, dumps a collected group of folded piles onto the raceway 24 of the inserter 18.
The sheet-web cutter 10 is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,973 to Hams, and that description is incorporated herein by reference. Basically, the sheet-web cutter includes toothed wheels 26 which mesh with apertures 28 in the margins of the web 20 to drive the web 20 toward a laterally cutting blade 30. The laterally cutting blade 30 is reciprocally driven down and up in cooperation with a stationary blade 38 to cut sheets from the sheet-web 20. Rotary side slitting blades 32 slit away margins of the web 20 which contain the apertures 28 and indicia to be described below. The toothed wheels 26 are driven by a web driver 36 to drive the sheet-web 20 toward the laterally cutting blade 30. The laterally cutting blade 30 is reciprocally driven up and down in cooperation with the stationary blade 38 by a blade driver 40 to cut sheets from the sheet-web 20.
The sheet-web cutter 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2 also include an endless indexing tape 42 which is disclosed in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,973. The indexing tape 42 is used to actuate the web driver 36 and the blade driver 40. In this respect, the indexing tape 42 has holes positioned along a longitudinal track thereof which corresponds to lateral cuts to be made by the laterally-cutting blade 30. A light source 44 is located on one side of the indexing tape 42 and a light sensor 46 is positioned adjacent to the light source 44 on the other side of the indexing tape 42. When a hole is between the light source 44 and the light receiver 46, the light receiver is activated to provide a signal to the web driver 36 and the blade driver 40 to thereby stop the web driver 36, activate the laterally cutting blade 30 to cut a sheet from the sheet-web 23 of the predetermined length, and restart the web driver. In this regard, a photocell (not shown) senses the completion of the cut sequence to initiate a new feed.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, three additional tracks, or channels, of holes (not shown) are added to the index tape 42 and three additional light receivers 48, 50, and 52 are positioned on the opposite side of the indexing tape 42 from the light source 44 adjacent respectively to holes in the three additional tracks. The output from the light receiver 48 is used as a clock signal source to drive a cutter shift register 54. The cutter shift register 54 receives data from a light scanner 56 which is located adjacent to the sheet-web 20 upstream of the laterally cutting blade 30 and provides output data at a sampler 58. The output data detected by the sampler 58 is used to inhibit starting of the blade driver 40 once it is ready for a cut. In this regard, indicia, or hyphens, 60 (FIG. 1) are positioned, or not positioned, in a column on that portion of the sheet-web 20 corresponding to the first page of a letter, or set, so as to pass over the light scanner 56 and be thereby read, or not read, by the light scanner 56. The positions of the hyphens 60 are synchronized with read holes, which are detected by light receiver 52, to enable a gate 62 so that the information from the hyphen is fed into the cutter shift register 54 as it passes over the light scanner 56. Other holes on the tape 42 activate the light receiver 50 to "disable" the gate 62 to prevent false mark signals from being used.
Describing next the accumulator 12, broadly, the purpose of the accumulator 12 is to receive cut sheets from the web cutter 10, accumulate a group of these sheets, and eject this group, as a unit, to the buckle folder 14 to be folded together.
With reference to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the cutter 10 and the folder 14 are on rollers 64 and 66 respectively. Thus, these machines can be moved relative to one another by rolling them on these rollers. The accumulator 12 forms an interface between the cutter 10 and the folder 14. In this respect, the accumulator 12 comprises an insert plate 68 which is tap-screw fastened to a frame of the cutter 10 at one end and to the folder 14 at the other end. Mounted on the insert plate 68 at the cutter end thereof is a structure for supporting a feed roller 70 and deflector brushes 72. The roller 70 and the deflector brushes 72 control the web 20 as it is conveyed beyond the laterally cutting blade 30 to urge it downwardly toward the insert plate 68. In this respect, the exit of the cutter 10 is higher than the insert plate 68 such that the web 20 must move downwardly upon exiting from the cutter 10 to contact the insert plate 68. The insert plate 68, itself, is a telescoping structure which allows the cutter 10 and the inserter 14 to be moved toward one another to accommodate eight inch sheets, for example, and away from one another to accommodate eleven inch sheets. Other size sheets could also be thereby accommodated. In this respect, side adjustment brackets 74, in combination with bolts 76, also allow such adjustment and provide for fixing the machines relative to one another once an adjustment has been made.
Main edge guides 78 are mounted vertically on opposite sides of the insert plate 68 and are held in position thereon by edge guide posts 80 which are screwed into the insert plate 68 through slots in edge guide brackets 82. When the cutter 10 and the folder 14 are separated sufficiently far so as to telescope the insert plate 68 outwardly, auxiliary edge guides 84 are attached to the insert plate 68 by auxiliary edge guide posts 86 at the ends of the main edge guides 78.
Mounted at the folder end of the insert plate 68, preferrably onto a part of a frame of the folder 14, is a mutilated roller system including upper and lower mutilated rollers 88 and 90. The upper and lower mutilated rollers 88 and 90 are respectively mounted on shafts 92 and 94 which are respectively driven by chains 96 and 98 via sprockets 101 and 102 fixedly mounted on the upper and lower shafts 92 and 94. The chains 96 and 98 are driven by a main driveshaft 104 and an auxiliary driveshaft 106 which are coupled together by gears 108 and 110. The main driveshaft 104 is driven by a chain 112 through a one-way clutch 114. The upper and the lower mutilated rollers 88 and 90 are shown in their home position in FIG. 4a. In this position, sheets which are deposited with the accumulator 12 from the cutter 10 slide between the mutilated rollers. However, once the accumulator 12 is full, an energizing signal is applied to the one-way clutch 114 to transmit energy from the continually operating chain 112 to the main driveshaft 104 to thereby rotate the mutilated rollers 88 and 90 one revolution as is shown in FIG. 4b. When this is done, a sheet group positioned between the mutilated rollers is pinched therebetween and ejected to the folder 14.
With regard to the folder 14, this folder is a buckle folder of a type well known in the art (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,856,293 to Boyer for example).
The collector 16 at the exit of the buckle folder 14 is of the type that is fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,078,790 to Stocker.
The inserter 18 is sufficiently described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,973 to Hams and further description is not necessary here.
Turning next to the overall control system of the AIM system disclosed herein, this control system is somewhat similar to the control system of U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,973, however, it is modified therefrom. In this respect, as was mentioned above, the sampler 58 transmits an inhibit signal to the blade driver 40 indicating that a first sheet of a group of sheets to be folded together is at the laterally cutting blade 30. This signal is also applied to a comparator 116. The comparator 116 receives input signals from counters 118 and 120. The counter 118 counts the groups of sheets which are fed from the accumulator 12 by mutilated rollers 88 and 90 and the counter 120 counts the folded groups when they arrive at the collector 16. In this respect, the counter 118 is connected to a trailing-edge sensor 122 which is a photosensor (either reflective type or a sendor/receiver type) to detect the trailing edges of the groups when they are sent by the accumulator, and the counter 120 is attached to another photosensor 124 to detect the folded groups of sheets when they arrive at the collector 16. The signal from the trailing-edge sensor 122 is also fed to the blade driver 40.
In operation, a forward edge of the sheet-web 20 is fed beyond the laterally cutting blade 30 by the toothed wheels 26. The light scanner 56 scans the column on the sheet-web 20 where indicia, or hyphens, 60 appear. When the first page of a letter set passes over the light scanner 56, the hyphens on that page are read in sequence by the light scanner 56, and as they are read they are clocked into the cutter shift register 54 by clock signals from the light receiver 48. Only the first page of each letter set has hyphen indicia thereon. As each sheet on the sheet-web 20 reaches the laterally cutting blade 30, the web driver 25 is stopped in response to a signal from the light receiver 46 and a cut is made by the laterally cutting blade 30. At the same time, the sampler 58 samples the stage of the cutter shift register 54 which is, or is not, holding data at that point to further inhibit, or not inhibit, the blade driver 40 from further operation. If the sampler 58 detects an inhibit signal, it will inhibit the blade driver the next time the blade driver is ordered to make a cut and the blade drive will, therefore, not make the next cut. However, the web driver will continue to drive a web until a sheet-length piece of web is beyond the laterally cutting blade 30. For example, assuming the "blade-driver-inhibit" information is contained in a hyphen which is detected by the light scanner 56, shifted to the sampler 58 in the shift register 54, and transmitted by the sampler 58 to the blade driver 40. This indicates to the blade driver 40 that the first page of a letter set is at the laterally cutting blade 30 and tells the blade driver 40 not to cut the next time it is ordered to do so by the light sensor 46. However, the web driver 36 does drive the first page of the letter past the laterally cutting blade 30 before stopping to leave a first sheet ready to be cut once the blade driver 40 makes its cut as is described below.
A signal from the sampler 58, is also fed to the one-way clutch 114 at the accumulator 12 to rotate the mutilated rollers 88 and 90, 360 degrees and thereby eject a set of sheets that is positioned between the mutilated rollers for the previous letter set. This letter set is picked up by rollers in the folder 14 and transported until its trailing edge clears the trailing-edge sensor 122 in the accumulator. The trailing-edge sensor 122 sends a pulse to the counter 118 and to the blade driver 40 ordering the blade driver 40 to make the cut from which it was inhibited previously. Once the blade driver 40 makes this cut, a blade sensor (not shown) starts up the web driver 36 and the cycle is repeated until the hyphens of a new first page of a letter set is detected by the scanner 56, at which time the cycle is repeated.
The buckle folder 14 operates continuously and, when it receives a set of sheets from the accumulator 12, it folds the set together and deposits it with the collector 16 where the set is counted by the counter 120. At this point, the comparator 116 realizes that the counts on the counters 118 and 120 are equal. The comparator 116 also receives a separate control signal from the sampler 58 which tells the comparator that this is the last of a group of sets, if it is the last, the comparator knows that it can then order the collector 16 to "dump" a group of sets that has been collected by the collector 16 onto the inserter 18. Upon the blade driver 40 cutting the last sheet of a group of sets, it is inhibited from further cutting until the collector 16 dumps (the control means for providing this function is not shown, but the mechanism is similar to that used in U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,973 to Hams.)
With particular regard to the accumulator 12, other than the edge guides 78 and 80, the accumulator has very little registering ability, but the sheets are already registered when they are received from the cutter 10.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the AIM system described herein has the ability to accumulate various numbers of sheets into a set which can be folded together. Also, this system allows the collection of folded sets into a group.
Further, this system is faster than prior art systems in that it provides for feeding the first sheet of a set past the lateral cutting blade 30 prior to inhibiting further action of the cutter blade and the web driver. Thus, when the cutter 10 is again actuated by receipt of a signal from the trailing edge sensor 122 the system can start by cutting a first sheet of the next set without feeding.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, a "two-up" mode of operation would be allowed by slitting the web 20 longitudinally as it passes through the cutter 10, thus allowing two sheets to follow parallel paths through the accumulator 12, the folder 14, and the collector 16. In this case, a central, thin, edge guide would be required in the accumulator and additional control features would be required.

Martha Stewart's Bearnaise Sauce
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
I got this from Foodnetwork and have made it several times. It is the best Bearnaise Sauce recipe I have ever made!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1⁄4 cup very finely chopped shallot
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper, more if desired
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon leaf
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1⁄2-3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, very soft (I've always used 1 1/2 sticks)
- coarse salt
- pepper, if desired
- lemon juice, if desired
- Combine vinegar, wine, shallots, black pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until reduced to 1 tablespoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of water to reduced vinegar mixture.
- Whisk until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
- Set pan over moderately low heat and continue to whisk at reasonable speed reaching all over bottom and insides of pan, where eggs tend to overcook.
- To moderate heat, frequently move pan off burner for a few seconds, then back on.
- As they cook, the eggs will become frothy and increase in volume, then thicken.
- When the bottom of the pan is visible in the streaks left by the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth, remove from heat.
- By spoonfuls, add soft butter, whisking constantly to incorporate each addition.
- As the emulsion forms, add butter in slightly larger amounts, always whisking until fully absorbed.
- Continue incorporating butter until sauce has thickened to consistency desired.
- Season with salt, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped tarragon and, if desired, pepper.
- Add a few droplets of lemon juice if necessary.

This is a great recipe - and really not that hard at all. I had no trouble with the emulsification, in fact i was worried about it based on other reviews, but it came together much easier than i expected. Great flavor - served over pan seared beef tenderloin. After cooking the beef, i added mushrooms, shallots, and a pinch of remaining tarragon to the pan - then deglazed with white wine and a bit of beef stock. With roasted Brussels sprouts on the side - all the flavors came together so nicely. Will definitely make again (after 2 or 3 extra trips to the gym - but it's worth it).
This is a GREAT recipe! I had never made this sauce before and it turned out beautifully! There is a lot of whisking but well worth the effort for the end result! It was so tasty and melted in my mouth when I ate it with the steaks. I have even documented and have written about it on my blog. http://ohsoyumm.blogspot.com/2013/06/melt-in-your-mouth-food.html
Labor intensive but well worth the aching arm after 20 minutes of continuous whisking. The next time I make this (which will likely be immediately after all leftovers have been devoured) I would use half the amount of shallots because I prefer a smoother sauce. Instead of lemon juice, I added another half tablespoon of tarragon vinegar at the beginning - sublime. Serving this recipe with haricot vert, filet mignon and wild rice, I will be feeling much like a domestic goddess for the rest of the week. Highly recommend.

NAACP banquet will raise funds, look to future
Money received at annual event helps run the local office three days a week
Published: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 10:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 10:21 p.m.
A complaint under investigation about an Ocala convenience store's refusal to allow a black family traveling through the area to use the restroom earlier this year is just one of the examples local NAACP President Loretta Pompey Jenkins cites to explain why the civil rights organization is still needed today.
If you go
What: Marion County Branch NAACP Annual Freedom Fund and Awards Banquet
When: 6:30 p.m., Friday
Where: Ramada Inn and Conference Center, 3810 NW Blitchton Road
Cost: $50
Contact: Loretta Pompey Jenkins, 351-0824 or 208-8666; Gwendolyn Dawson, 620-3374; TiJuana Jenkins Woods, 620-3667
"Now we plan to pursue the corporate owner of the store," Jenkins said. "We are also fighting some educational issues and working with the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding juveniles being housed in jails ... the same facility with adults."
Advocating for those who are discriminated against or treated unjustly remains at the forefront of the work of the NAACP, started nationally in 1909 and locally in 1923.
The work, Jenkins said, requires funding from events like the Marion County Branch NAACP Freedom Fund and Awards Banquet. The event, to be held Friday at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, is the only fundraiser hosted each year by the local branch.
"The funds we receive helps run our office three days a week and helps maintain our presence in the community along with assisting in state and national initiatives," she said.
This year's event theme is Liberty and Justice For All — Affirming America's Promise.
The keynote speaker is Ocala native Darrell B. Daniels, executive director of the Derrick Brooks Charities Youth Programs started by the former NFL player with the Buccaneers.
Daniels, a 1980 graduate of Vanguard High School, also operates a consulting and management agency. He attended Bethune-Cookman University on a academic and music scholarship and was a drum major with the Marching Wildcats. He holds degrees in criminology, business and political science and is working on a graduate degree in organizational management.
Daniels led the Congo and Shieks band at Busch Gardens, worked in law enforcement and corrections, and also as an operations manager for a national business and with a non-profit organization.
It was while working for the non-profit agency, which had received a grant to address the over-representation of minorities in the criminal justice system, that Daniels vowed to make a difference in tackling the problem.
Daniels who travels the globe speaking to crowds that number in the thousands, said he is often overwhelmed people come to hear what he has to say, given his humble roots.
His parents, Ralph and Loretta James, still reside in Ocala.
Daniels said although he has been invited to speak to various organizations locally and at his home church on numerous occasions, none compare to Friday's appearance.
"To be asked to come home to address my local NAACP trumps anything I've ever done. Although this is my third time addressing the NAACP, nothing beats a homecoming," he said.
Daniels will attend the opening session of the Florida Legislative session prior to speaking to an expected audience of 275 people.
Jenkins is hopeful the event will help boost membership for the local branch, which has approximately 200 members. At one time, membership topped 1,000.
The evening also will include announcement of the Frank G. Pinkston Humanitarian Award, the President's Award and Youth Council awards.
Contact Harriet Daniels at 352-867-4125 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to announce this spring's production of MaDaCol (Mather Dance Collective). Performances are April 16 and 17 at 8 p.m., and April 18 at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
MaDaCol, one of the university's oldest undergraduate student organizations, offers an important creative outlet for CWRU graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff and greater Cleveland community members.

Department of Dance Assistant Professor Shannon Sterne will perform with the Cleveland Dance Exchange (CDX), a cooperative she co-founded in 2013 with other local dancers in Cleveland Public Theatre's DanceWorks Series April 9-11, 2015. A single evening-length work in ten sections, "Top 10," was conceived, scripted, produced, and managed by Sterne who also choreographed one of the dance sections. The production is an ambitious undertaking bringing together ten choreographers and 16 dancers in a radio show-style countdown of Billboard Hot 100 hits. But Sterne further increased the complexity of the production through the inclusion of two unique twists – one impacting the creative process, and one impacting the performance of the work.
Sterne was initially inspired to create the work several years ago in the wake of the passing of legendary 20th century choreographer Merce Cunningham who was famous for his use of "chance methods" in his choreographic process. Sterne utilized similar chance methods for her work in two different ways.
Each choreographer was assigned a number – one through ten – corresponding to a ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 year-end charts. They then had to choose a hit from that rankings for each of three decades: the 1960s, the 1980s, and the 2000s, and create a single piece of choreography that could be performed to each of the three songs.
The decade of hits the dancers actually perform to will be determined by audience vote each night of the performance. Potentially, the dancers will perform to the same decade of hits each night, however, audience vote could shift each night requiring the dancers perform each night to a different playlist of songs.
"Top 10" is part of a double-bill with Ohio Dance Theatre, and will take place at Gordon Square Theatre, 6415 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland. All performances begin at 7:30pm. Tickets may be purchased by calling the CPT box office at 216-631-2727 or at http://www.cptonline.org.

Respond to Review of Gongdelin Vegetarian Restaurant
by mrrfrost
Review: A large menu, lively atmosphere and the dtaff were generally friendly. I had the steak pieces as a starter which was big enough for 2 and then a spicy chicken dish for the main which was good but too many peppers- I guess that was the spicy part! With rice and drink came to 90 Yuan so not that expensive at all. About a 5 minute walk from Chongwenmen metro station south west exit.

Performance Against Seed Expectations (PASE) explained
PASE, which stands for "Performance Against Seed Expectations," measures the average number of wins a team attains above or below the number its seed position would dictate that it achieves. PASE is calculated by tallying the positive or negative differences between actual and expected wins at each seed position. The total of these differences is then divided by the number of appearances to arrive at an average number of games the team either over-performs or under-performs per tournament.

Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

Break 200 g of the chocolate in to a measuring jug and place in a pan of boiling water and leave to melt down.
Pour the chocolate in to moulds until they are three quarters full. I used ice cube moulds for mine.
I then pushed beads in to the center of each chocolate, so that when it set, the chocolates would be left with little craters in.
Fill each crater half full with cherry liqueur.
Cut a cherry in to quarters and then stuff the cherry slice inside the craters, so that it fills the space, preventing the liqueur from leaking out.
Melt down the remaining chocolate and fill the rest of the moulds with chocolate and leave to set.
... I love you! *___*
I know this is old Cat, but how did you store these? I just made some plain ones as practice and put them in box and they went all weird on top.. Maybe I should have used a proper box with a seal?
I love you, you just told me how to make my all time favorite candy
Make sure you take out the bead!!!!
Yummy-These look good, you can buy them from M&S but they are really expensive-I have those ice molds-IKEAAA
Awesome, let me see how they turn out!
Very clever! I've got a heart-shaped mould I can use for this...

History Hour: I've started a section 'past & current reading' at the bottom of this page, where you'll find title and a link for each book that we've read, or selected for reading. Have a look.
I remember reading "life is elsewhere" by the same author. Although I didn't like the story, the writing was appealing. So when I stumbled upon this book, I simply bought it.
From Amazon: From the internationally acclaimed, bestselling author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, an unexpected and enchanting novel—the culmination of his life's work.
Casting light on the most serious of problems and at the same time saying not one serious sentence; being fascinated by the reality of the contemporary world and at the same time completely avoiding realism—that's The Festival of Insignificance. Readers who know Milan Kundera's earlier books know that the wish to incorporate an element of the "unserious" in a novel is not at all unexpected of him. In Immortality, Goethe and Hemingway stroll through several chapters together talking and laughing. And in Slowness, Vera, the author's wife, says to her husband: "you've often told me you meant to write a book one day that would have not a single serious word in it…I warn you: watch out. Your enemies are lying in wait."
Now, far from watching out, Kundera is finally and fully realizing his old aesthetic dream in this novel that we could easily view as a summation of his whole work. A strange sort of summation. Strange sort of epilogue. Strange sort of laughter, inspired by our time, which is comical because it has lost all sense of humor. What more can we say? Nothing. Just read.

The landmark novel of the Sixties – a powerful account of a woman searching for her personal, political and professional identity while facing rejection and betrayal.
In 1950s London, novelist Anna Wulf struggles with writer's block. Divorced with a young child, and fearful of going mad, Anna records her experiences in four coloured notebooks: black for her writing life, red for political views, yellow for emotions, blue for everyday events. But it is a fifth notebook – the golden notebook – that finally pulls these wayward strands of her life together.
Widely regarded as Doris Lessing's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, 'The Golden Notebook' is wry and perceptive, bold and indispensable.

The Nobel Prize-winner Doris Lessing's first novel is a taut and tragic portrayal of a crumbling marriage, set in Rhodesia during the years of Arpartheid. 'The Grass is Singing' tells the story of Dick Turner, a failed white farmer and his wife, Mary, a town girl who hates the bush and viciously abuses the black South Africans who work on their farm. But after many years, trapped by poverty, sapped by the heat of their tiny house, the lonely and frightened Mary turns to Moses, the black cook, for kindness and understanding.
A masterpiece of realism, 'The Grass is Singing' is a superb evocation of Africa's majestic beauty, an intense psychological portrait of lives in confusion and, most of all, a fearless exploration of the ideology of white supremacy.

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Nazi Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the "New Germany," she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance—and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition. Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Göring and the expectedly charming - yet wholly sinister - Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.

I recently got this book recommended by a friend and think the description looks interesting..
Today's most revered, feared, and controversial Chinese novelist offers a tour de force in which the real, the absurd, the comical, and the tragic are blended into a fascinating read. The hero-or antihero-of Mo Yan's novel is Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his generosity and kindness and benevolence to his peasants. However, during Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, he is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions but cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence.
The novel opens in Hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has Ximen Nao tortured endlessly in order to force a confession of guilt from him. When his efforts remain fruitless, Lord Yama allows Ximen Nao to return to earth, where he is reborn not as a human, but first as a donkey, then a horse, a pig, a monkey, and, finally, the big-headed boy Lan Qiansui. Through the eyes of animal and boy, Ximen Nao takes us on a deliriously unique journey through fifty years of peasant history in China, right to the edge of the new millennium. Here is an absolutely riveting tale that reveals the author's love of a homeland beset by ills inevitable, political, and traditional.

I've read this book some years back and was thinking that I would like to read it again (even though I don't normally reread books). Anyways, I thought this book might also be interesting for many of the people, who I've met at the club. Contrary to what the title may imply, it's not a love story, but more about finding yourself and living life. If this book does get choose, as I remember, this is much better as an actual book than an e-book (just as a heads up).
Here's a short excerpt/description, which I found on Amazon: A long-lost book reappears, mysteriously connecting an old man searching for his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed mother's loneliness. Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But it wasn't always like this: in the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book. . . . Sixty years later and half a world away, fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With virtuosic skill and soaring imaginative power, Nicole Krauss gradually draws these stories together toward a climax of "extraordinary depth and beauty" (Newsday)

From Amazon:
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barnes's œuvre.
This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

From Amazon:
In present day London, a rare, 17th-century violin is offered at auction. Two bidders in particular covet it, one of whom claims to know its "terrible story". So begins Canone Inverso, Paolo Maurensig's elliptical tale of two young men whose passion for music, and this fiddle in particular, converges in a crescendo of obsession, envy, and betrayal. Friends who meet at music school in prewar Austria, Jeno and Kuno come from very different worlds: one the illegitimate son of a sausage maker, and the other the heir to a baronetcy. But together they share an obsessive devotion to music. Alas, what begins as a dance of soul mates - "We were like brothers, not in flesh or blood, but in that part of the spirit where order, rhythm, and harmony are found" - ends badly, the brutal disintegration of their relationship eerily paralleling Germany's decent into Nazi madness. Maurensig offers up a mesmerizing allegory (good against evil, brother against brother), peeling away layer after layer, only to reveal yet another bizarre reality: "Behind the refined music we hear, performed with levity and perfection by and orchestra or a string quartet, there is the straining of nerves, the gushing of blood, the breaking of hearts."

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. While only 4 percent of US online adults have ever used a location-based service, like popular check in app Foursquare, data from research firm Forrester shows that young adult males with college degrees appear to be the main user group. In addition to being the main user group, the group may also be heavy online influencers as 38% of them claim that their networks ask them for their opinion before making a purchase decision. It would be interesting to know what types of products their networks ask them about before a purchase. Most likely, it's probably electronics. Finally, the data shows that the group may also be heavy mobile researchers, meaning that they are more likely to search for information on products or services as well as look up ratings and reviews. If the user group is constantly checking in to locations, then they are probably also using their smartphones for the following. The nifty graph below spotlights more specifics location-based service users to US online adult users. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition...

The deal is reportedly worth $40 million over the next four years with a little under $28 million being guaranteed. This is a pretty nice haul for a man who now has the richest annual value contract for a safety in NFL history.
