A method and system for transmitting data over loaded twisted pair copper wires using a low frequency offset, differential voltage, on-off keying (OOK) transmission technique are described. According to one embodiment, an analog or digital signal is sent or received and converted, if necessary, into or from serial format onto or out of a loaded twisted pair copper wire. The signal uses an OOK modulated sinusoidal offset signal with an associated differential voltage. A floating reference ground set positive or negative for the differential nature of the transmission may be required. The OOK modulated offset low frequency is being keyed to the floating ground reference that is set to a minimum signal to noise ratio (SNR) level. The SNR level may be set by adjusting the voltage separation between floating ground and the offset of the sinusoidal low frequency wave. The amplitude of the sinusoidal wave may be adjusted to provide increased transmission distance and better SNR. In addition, an encoding scheme may be used to incorporate all signaling and control information within the serial transmission.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to wire communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to telephone twisted pair copper wire communications using loaded cables.
2. Background Information The existing methods for transmitting data communication over loaded (conditioned) twisted pair copper wire use various modulation techniques that manipulate a carrier(s) by phase, amplitude and/or frequency, and uses voltage detection. FIG. 1 illustrates a diagram of the conventional modulation techniques used in today's transmission technology.
Referring to FIG. 1, data 10 includes information that may be transmitted over the loaded twisted pair using one of the illustrated transmission techniques. Data 10 is represented by digital signals that are transmitted in strings of binary 1s and 0s. When amplitude modulation technique 20 is used to transmit data 10, the data signal is blended into a carrier by varying the amplitude of the carrier. Specifically, the amplitude is modulated when it corresponds to a binary 0 of the data signal. On-off modulation technique 30 uses a transmitter which is turned off every time the transmitted data signal is represented by a binary 0. When frequency modulation using frequency shift keying (FSK) technique 40 is used, the data signal is blended into a carrier by modulating (shifting) the frequency of the carrier. The frequency shift occurs when a binary 0 in the data signal is encountered. Phase modulation using phase shift keying (PSK) technique 50 shifts the phase (e.g., 180�) when the data signal represented by a binary 0 is transmitted. Using various modulation techniques, the twisted pair communication industry has obtained data rates of up to 56 kilobits at 50,000 feet over loaded cabled facilities. Some of these systems use multiple carrier frequency such as DSS (Digital Spread Spectrum), DMT (Digital Multi-Tone), OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and others. The use of these signaling techniques is limited by the load coils flattening of voltages of frequencies above 3300 hertz in the voltage domain.
The object of the present invention is to provide a loaded cable twisted pair communications transmission system that can transmit information at high rates with high QoS (Quality of Service). By using a differential voltage transmitting an offset low frequency sinusoidal signal within the voice spectrum, that uses an on-off keying (OOK) modulator at the rate of the data being transmitted, high bandwidth transmission speeds can be achieved. In one embodiment, the On/Off state of the low frequency sinusoidal signal can be coupled using state of the art techniques used in the digital subscriber line (DSL) field. Using various coupling techniques, the transmitted information may be used in conjunction with existing analog telephone service and plain old telephone service (POTS) being provided on the loaded twisted pair copper wire by filtering the specific sinusoidal signal frequency out of the circuit.
One of the advantages of the present invention is that the signal transmitted is a transverse electromagnetic (T.E.M.) wave with an ultra-wide bandwidth. When using this transmission technique for video, voice and data communications, the invention may enable the QoS, reliability and bit error rate required for each service provided.
To provide telephone (voice) services to, from and within the home or office the telephone must work for emergency services when power is out. The present invention may provide the ability to not only transmit and receive high-speed information, but to also provide telephone emergency service in any state that the home or office electrical service is in.
In one embodiment, information is transmitted over loaded twisted pairs using the telephone utility outside plant copper wiring. By modulating a low sinusoidal signal frequency (within the voice frequency range), offset signal, using OOK differentially, high speed transmissions (e.g., speeds of 52 megabits per second) may be provided over the existing conditioned twisted pair infrastructure using current detection techniques. When load coils are in the outside plant, they do not modify the current. However, they do attenuate the voltage (current in is equal to current out). The differential nature of the TEM transmission is maintained through numerous load coils and the signal is attenuated according to the gage and distance of the wire involved.
Another object of the present invention is to provide cable television-type service capabilities over the loaded twisted pair wires. If a TV is equipped with the present invention, or a set-to-box is connected, digital TV signals may be sent from a source over the loaded twisted pair copper wires to the television receiver over extended distances (e.g., distances of over 50,000 feet from the transmitter).
Another object of the present invention is to transmit high volumes of voice transmissions (telephone conversations) over loaded twisted pairs and interconnect this transmission to the existing public telephone network system.
Another object is to use the loaded twisted pair transmission technology to interface into the other transmission equipment environments, such as, for example, providing trunking or concentrating communication traffic from wireless devices, or LAN (local area network) to a centralized location or peer-to-peer connections.
Another object of the invention is the ability for this technology to be channelized to provide isochronous, asynchronous, synchronous, and bi-synchronous transmissions. Video and voice could be isochronous and high-speed data transfers between computers would be asynchronous. In one embodiment, all information is sent serially.
Another object of the invention is the ability for video, voice and data to be intermixed in the twisted pair communication system. This may allow to distribute various applications (e.g., satellite, radio, cellular, microwave, PCS, telephone, audio, Internet & television communication, transmission and reception) over the loaded twisted pair copper wiring.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides differential voltage, offset frequency, OOK as a transmission technology using a base sinusoidal wave (e.g., a base sinusoidal waive between 400 to 3,300 hertz). By adjusting the base sinusoidal wave to the best power spectrum, better signal to noise ratio can be achieved. This sinusoidal wave is OOK to the ON position when a binary 1 (one) is sent from a digital data source and turned to the OFF position when a 0 (zero) is present, however, this configuration may be inverted. Using conventional encoding and decoding schemes known in the industry, all control and timing information may be transmitted within the serial bit stream provided in the transmission technique. In one embodiment, the information/data from a digital source (e.g., PC, computer, audio system, VCR, etc.) may be transmitted into a buffer and then sent to an OOK modulator. The modulator controls the ON and OFF states of the base sinusoidal wave transmission. Each ON state of the base sinusoidal wave transmitted may then be sent as a forward biased low frequency sine wave with enough current to drive the circuit for the duration of the ON symbol. Further, the signal may be sent into a coupler to be connected to the loaded twisted pair copper wire infrastructure. The transmitted signal may then be received at the far end and decoupled using a filter device. In one embodiment, the signal is received having a resistive load and input into an optocoupler device to convert and isolate the circuit. The receiver is current sensing and converts current to voltage. Once the current has been converted to voltage, the voltage may be sent to a differential Op Amp circuit to amplify the signal. In one embodiment, a low voltage differential signal receiver converts the wave form into a square wave that the receiving communication device can convert into a binary 1 (one) or binary 0 (zero) logic state. The transmission may be detected as a differential current event using the transmission initial conditions. By using a differential signal method and the T.E.M. waveform, the effect of standard noise conditions found in the twisted pair on the transmission is reduced. By providing a differential base voltage, the noise floor on the transmission is raised and the transmission has an improvement on the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). In one embodiment, the low frequencies sinusoidal wave used in the transmitter may be generated by voltage-controlled oscillators.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.
In the following detailed description of the embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that show, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In the drawings, like numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the several views. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Moreover, it is to be understood that the various embodiments of the invention, although different, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in one embodiment may be included within other embodiments. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
A method and apparatus for transmitting digital data over a twisted pair copper wire using telephone load coils are described. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the digital data is transmitted over the loaded (e.g., 66 or 88 milihenry coils) twisted pair copper wires using a differential voltage, frequency offset, OOK transmission system that may include transceivers, twisted pair couplers, buffers, clocks, serial controllers, filters, oscillators, various interfaces and analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters.
Referring to FIG. 2, the architecture of transmitter/receiver (transceiver) of one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Various data source devices may use electronic device interface 100 to connect to base technology transceiver 200 of the differential voltage, frequency offset (sinusoidal wave), OOK transmission technology. Examples of data source devices may include a digital video device, a printer, scanner or storage device, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device, a cable TV, satellite or closed circuit TV device, a digital video broadcast device, an audio, stereo or speaker device, an infraded device, a Cebus 600 device, a telephone device, a camera or TV device, a radio or microwave device, and an Intercom device. Other examples of data source devices may include, but are not limited to, a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) device, an emitter coupled logic (ECL) device, a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) device, a pseudo-emitter coupled logic (PECL) device, an HCMOS or CMOS device, an alarm or security device, a fiber optic interface device, a personal communications service (PCS) device, a personal computer device, a system-on-a-chip device, etc.
In one embodiment, device interface 100 outputs digital information (bits) into the input side of serial interface converter 101. Serial interface converter 101 may be necessary when parallel transmission methods are involved or when voltages need to be converted for interfacing. Serial interface converter 101 may be a device like the Zilog Z16C30 that converts parallel data to serial and buffers the transmission. The output side of serial interface converter 101 provides TTL voltage levels and is connected to the control input lead of transceiver 102. It should be noted that other levels, such as HCMOS (high-speed complementary metal oxide semi-conductor), ECL (emitter-coupled logic), LVDS (low voltage differential signal) or PECL (pseudo emitter coupled logic), may be provided by serial interface converter 101 without loss of generality.
Transceiver 102 uses a modulator that provides control of the OOK signal through the TTL voltage level control lead. In one embodiment, the modulator may be a Maxim DG211 (normally closed quad analog switch). The modulator's input is connected to a sinusoidal signal source (e.g., between 400 and 3300 hertz) oscillator 103. In one embodiment, oscillator 103 is a Conner-Winfield DSP1. The input of oscillator 103 may feed into an operational amplifier, such as, for example, a Burr-Brown OPA650, that drives the transmission line. In one embodiment, transceiver 102 uses a modulator to turn the sinusoidal signal On and back Off to the level of the differential ground (floating ground). It may be necessary to tie the output signal to the differential ground together with a capacitor and resistor to get the desired transmission settling. According to experimental studies, the use of the OPA650 as a wideband, low power voltage feedback operational amplifier allows to drive the transmission up to 85 mA, with other compatible chips providing higher current drive levels when necessary.
Transceiver 102 is further connected to twisted pair coupler 104. Twisted pair coupler 104 is used to connect the data circuit to the twisted pair wiring. In one embodiment, using relay 105, the standard circuit configuration can be maintained when local power is on. If for some reason local power is lost, the relay clamps are closed, and any existing telephone call may be transferred to the standard POTS analog connection for emergency services. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by using relay 105 that is normally open when AC is applied to relay 105. Relay 104 is connected to the twisted pair only when the power is turned off.
Referring again to FIG. 2, the architecture of a receiving part of transceiver 200 is illustrated, according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, decoupler 107 on the receiver side is shown that connects to the loaded twisted pair wiring. Decoupler 107 isolates the receiver from the twisted pair voltages and wiring. AC relay 106 is open when AC is applied to it and is closed when the power is turned off. Decoupler 107 provides impedance matching connected to the input side of differential current detector 108. Differential current detector 108 may use a differential photodiode transimpedance amplifier to detect the transmitted signal. In one embodiment, an operational amplifier such as a Burr-Brown OPA602 is used to the detect the transmitted signal.
The output side of differential current detector 108 is connected to current to voltage converter and amplifier 109. Using a photodiode amplifier connecting to a virtual floating ground current-to-voltage converter, such as, for example, Burr-Brown OPA128, allows to provide the output voltage source needed at demodulator 110. The output side of current to voltage converter and amplifier 109 (e.g., OPA128) is connected to the input of demodulator 110 (e.g., Burr-Brown RCV420) that provides a 0-5 voltage TTL compatible signal that is input into serial interface buffer 111. The output side of serial interface buffer 111 is then connected to a computer or digital data interface input device 112. Data buffering is provided for flow control.
Transceiver 200 shown in FIG. 2 is configured to control clocking/timing, channelization and broadcasting of transmission over the loaded twisted pair copper wire. In one embodiment, OOK signal transceiver 102 on the transmitter side uses a Manchester codec to transmit data, and demodulator 110 on the receiver side uses a DPLL (digital phase lock loop) to recover clocking/timing. In one embodiment, channelization is provided using TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) at signaling interface 101 on the transmitter side and at signaling interface 111 at the receiver side. In one embodiment, from 2 to 256 channels are provided. Transmission of information may be accomplished using channels of asynchronous, isochronous and synchronous transmissions. Using asynchronous transmission, high-speed data may be interchanged between devices. Isochronous transmission may be used for video broadcasting and telephone transmissions. Synchronous transmission may be used when clock cycles are needed between the transmitting and receiving devices. In one embodiment, the information is framed into various formats, such as, for example, SDLC (synchronous data link control), HDLC (high-level data link control), Frame Relay, X.25, ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) and others, for error checking, timing, headers, and addressing.
FIG. 3 is a diagram of a variable low frequency offset, differential voltage, OOK, high-speed loaded twisted pair communications transmission technique, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, signal input 148 is generated by sinusoidal wave oscillator (e.g., oscillator 103 of FIG. 2) that has a variable offset differential reference ground that enters OOK Modulator 150 (e.g., a modulator included in OOK signal receiver of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, modulator 150 is controlled by the input of data stream 146 along with encoded timing, control and synchronization information provided by control data input encoder 152. The output generated by modulator 150 is totally above (referenced as positive +) or below (referenced as negative −) the system/earth ground reference. This provides the differential ground reference that may be varied by adjusting the differential voltage level above the noise floor of the transmission lines involved.
The amplitude of the signal coming out of modulator 150 is associated with a voltage signal Vs as shown in FIG. 3. The output signal of modulator 150 goes through variable load 154 which provides the current level sufficient for detection of current by the transmission system. In one embodiment, this current level can be adjusted from 2 mA to 500 mA as required for signal detection. The current detection is performed by electrical current detector 156. Electrical current detector 156 detects current with differential characteristics and passes this differential current to current to voltage converter 158. Electrical current detector 156 also provides for isolating a transmitter from a receiver, such as the transmitter and receiver of FIG. 2. Current to voltage converter 158 converts differential current into voltage and allows for isolation of the receiver. Current to voltage converter 158 allows the receiver to transmit the data out at standard voltage reference levels (e.g., 0 v-5 v).
Decoder 160 incorporates DPLL tracks and removes timing, control and synchronous information bits out of the data stream to recreate the original data transmission. The timing, control and synchronous bits are used to coordinate the transmitter and receiver ends of the link. Afterwards, output 162 of the receiver is sent to digital device interface (e.g., device interface 112).
FIG. 4 is a diagram of a typical outside plant telephone cable environment, in which the present invention operates. In this environment, telephone twisted pair copper wire communications are provided using loaded (e.g., 66 or 88 milihenry coils) cables. When connecting a home or office to a central telephone office using loaded cable facilities, at least 3 load coils (e.g., load coils 1-3) are installed with an end section between 3,000 feet to 9,000 feet. Installation of any load coils in excess of load coils 1-3 is determined by the location of the far end device or transceiver. Telephone transmission design using load coils (conditioned wires) is well known in the industry. Using communication techniques of the present invention, high transmission rates (e.g., 52 megabits per second) are obtained for twisted pair communications over loaded cable facilities.
The method and system for transmitting data over loaded twisted pair copper wires using a low frequency offset, differential voltage, OOK transmission technique have been described. It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reading and understanding the above description. The scope of the invention should, therefore, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

OTTAWA, ON - DECEMBER 21: Tim Thomas #30 of the Boston Bruins looks on during the game against the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place on December 21, 2009 in Ottawa, Canada. (Photo by Phillip MacCallum/Getty Images)
Tim Thomas has been traded to the New York Islanders, according to the Boston Bruins. Thomas spent eight seasons with the Bruins, posting a 196-121-0-45 record to go with a 2.48 goals-against average. The Flint, Mich. native was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in the ninth round (217th overall) of the 1994 NHL entry draft. During his B's career, Thomas won two Vezina Trophies (2009, 2011), the Conn Smythe Trophy (2011), the William M. Jennings Trophy (2009) and a Stanley Cup (2011), among his many Black and Gold accomplishments. He also led the NHL in both save percentage and GAA in both 2009 and 2011 and has 31 career regular-season shutouts and six postseason shutouts to his name. According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Boston did not need Thomas' permission to make this trade and the netmider does not intend to play this season. Just so people are clear, Tim Thomas still doesn't plan on playing this season. This a cap move by the Isles. — Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) February 7, 2013 Also, B's did NOT need Thomas' permission although they did inform him. Thomas' no-move clause disappeared after last season — Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) February 7, 2013

2002 Honda Accord Q&A
2002 Honda Accord Question: If front break pads and rotors are replaced are rotors machined also?
Honda Accord 2002, 70,000 miles. Front break pads replaced and new rotors. But also inv says Front break pads machined rotors. Are both necessary? Cost a fortune and I feel totally ripped off and stupid. - kc.just4now
2 Answers
Answer 1
That is how it is supposed to be done! New pads machine or replace rotors, goes hand in hand for a good brake job. Take the invoice, go back and check to see exactly what was done! Should not have to machine new rotors!! Also ask why your old rotors could not have been machined! - pushrod
Answer 2
If it was done at a dealer with all OEM parts , then (as much as I don't want to!) I'd disagree. However , if done with aftermarket parts , then yes in order to make sure the run-out is within spec.(so you don't end up with a vibration) they are probably best to be machined(on car lathe) to avoid a 'comeback'. - ziptie12

Friday, February 4, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
The economy, jobs and the federal deficit were the main topics for Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, of Georgia's Third District, during his visit with constituents in McDonough Friday.
"We have got to have people to start to get involved," said Westmoreland. "We've got to hear the American people that gave us [Republicans] a majority in the [U.S.] House [of Representatives]. We're going to have a balanced budget within five years."
Westmoreland, on his latest visit to Henry County, concentrated his focus on residents, businesses, and officials, in and around, the McDonough area. The congressman spoke one-on-one with local manufacturers, government officials, and citizens. "What we're trying to do is get out, and get into the community, and learn what's on people's minds," he said. "The biggest concern right now is jobs and the economy. We need to do everything we can to empower small businesses where the real job creators are."
Henry County Commission Chairman Elizabeth "B.J." Mathis was one of those who had a sit-down talk with the congressional leader. "I think one of the greatest concerns we have here -- and I think a lot of citizens have around the nation -- is the deficit," Mathis said. "We cannot keep spending like we are, and think that we're going to be able to get out of this economic crisis we find ourselves in."
The commission chairman expressed her appreciation of Westmoreland, who was re-elected in 2010 to his fourth term in Congress. "He's just an outstanding individual," she said, "and I enjoyed having the opportunity just to sit and chat with him for a while."
Westmoreland acknowledged the ever-present concerns about jobs, the economy, and the national debt. He said lawmakers in Washington have been able to trim $267 million over the past three weeks from the federal budget.
"We borrow 41 cents of every dollar we spend," he said. "We've got to make sure we're prepared, as a country, to live within our means. Cutting 20 percent is going to affect everybody. [But] we hope everybody will stick with us."
Westmoreland gave his comments during an address before an audience at The Winsor Gallery in downtown McDonough. The setting of paintings, jewelry, and other art represented part of a local quality-of-life dynamic, according to Judy Neal, community organizer, and the membership chairperson of McDonough Arts, a community, arts organization.
"It was a way for us to showcase the arts and showcase what we're doing locally," said Neal.
Kathy Gilbert, mayor pro tempore and councilwoman-at-large in the City of Stockbridge, attended Westmoreland's visit. She pointed out that the region's quality of life, which includes the arts, impacts its economic development. "The arts in Georgia make up a $300 million piece of our economy," said Gilbert, who serves a constituency of roughly 25,000 Stockbridge residents.
Gilbert is the Henry County appointee to the Metro Atlanta Arts & Cultural Coalition (MAACC), and has two daughters with professions in the performing arts. She also helps govern a city budget of about $20.4 million, which she pointed out is affected by decisions of leaders on the federal level.
"Everything that happens on the national level affects local officials," she explained. "I'm here because I appreciate what he [Westmoreland] is doing for the state. We all share the same sorts of concerns when it comes to dwindling resources, and how to do more with less."
McDonough Mayor Billy Copeland said he spoke at length with the congressman on Friday about small business, and "responsible and balanced budgets at all levels of government."
"He was impressed that the City of McDonough has ended our fiscal year with a small surplus of reserve money for the past two years," Copeland said. "I think that he truly enjoyed the 'small-town atmosphere' and having the opportunity to speak to local constituents."

Apple iPad, other tablets, blunt Q4 PC sales
Tablets like Apple's iPad are taking a toll on an already battered PC market.
Tablets like Apple's iPad are taking a toll on an already battered PC market.
Samsung Electronics said it has completed development of the first DDR4 DRAM module, which offers twice the performance of today's DDR3 DRAM and reduces power consumption when used in a notebook by 40%.
The recession may have accelerated companies extending the lifecycles of PCs, laptops and servers, but that change may become permanent.
Tablets are making such a mark in the computer market that they just might start giving the world's largest chip maker a good bashing.
Shipments of smartphones, tablets and other app-enabled devices will overtake PCs shipments in the next 18 months, an event that may signify the end of the PC-centric era, market research firm IDC said.
Move over PC. The Apple iPad and other tablet devices are turning quite a few heads and chipping away at your business.
Later this month, the high-brow Christie's auction house will try to get $242,400 for an aged Apple computer.
Enterprises now in the midst of migrating to Windows 7 are unlikely to repeat that same work in just two years with Windows 8, an analyst said today.
On the eve of the first anniversary of Windows 7's launch, Microsoft today said the operating system has exceeded its expectations.
Apple jumped into the third spot in U.S. sales for the third quarter, in part because of the "halo" effect from its iPad tablet, industry research firm IDC said today.
Despite what had been growing excitement about the semiconductor market this year, one research company is lowering its chip revenue forecast for 2010.
Apple will add App Store functionality to its new, miniature Apple TV in the near future, a Wall Street analyst said today.
Starting early next month, Microsoft Security Essentials, Redmond's anti-malware service for Windows PCs, will be free for small businesses to install on up to 10 PCs.
Google is being somewhat circumspect about whether Android or Chrome will run on future tablet computers, with two top executives hinting recently at different possible directions. Analysts also disagree in their predictions.
Microsoft today said it will revive last year's multi-license Windows 7 Family Pack in early October for U.S. customers.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Files reveal more details in Rutland 1964 Scout abuse caseOctober 19,2012Boy Scout files indicate a number of community leaders in Rutland cooperated to cover up a convicted child molesters's involvement in scouting.
In 1964, William J. Moreau Jr. pleaded guilty to having lewd relations with an 11-year-old boy. The case was reported in the Rutland Herald, but no mention was made of the facts that Moreau was an assistant scoutmaster, his victim was a scout or that the abuse took place during an overnight stay at a scout camp.
A memo written by scout executive Bartley Nourse, released with the rest of the Boy Scouts' "perversion file," indicates why.
"The local newspaper Editor assured me that he would keep the name of scouting out of the papers -- as did the state's attorney, the mayor of the city of Rutland and the investigating officer," Nourse wrote. "So far so good."

In other words, he has to run a Kulturkampf campaign, at least to some extent.
But my unilateral declaration of an end to the Kulturkampf was depressingly naive.
The campaign, after all, needs to stroke its still-wary base without openly associating with passionate cries for Kulturkampf.

Product Description
Offering an elegant, transitional design that gives today's home timeless appeal, Moen's Eva bathroom collection features tapered, sophisticated lines to deliver a look that will never go out of style. This Eva two-handle lavatory faucet offers a 4-inch centerset design allows for easy installation and an included metal pop-up drain assembly. Pair it with other items from Moen's Eva range, including faucets, shower kits, towel bars, and other accessories.
This version comes in a brushed nickel finish that provides a lightly brushed warm grey metallic look, and it's also available in chrome and oil rubbed bronze. The handle rotates from 90 degrees to full on either handle: rotate hot side counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close; rotate cold side clockwise to open and counterclockwise to close. This faucet meets WaterSense criteria to conserve water without sacrificing performance. Flow is limited to a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 PSI, and its laminar stream allows for clear and quiet water flow. It is also ADA compliant.
Moen Eco-Performance
At Moen, making energy saving improvements along with incorporating sustainable practices into our everyday lives not only saves on energy costs, but also creates a healthier place to live.
WaterSense is a program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote water efficiency (it is similar in nature to the EPA's Energy Star program). As of 2009, all Moen lavatory faucets are certified to meet the WaterSense criteria, using up to 32 percent less water while maintaining the same great performance you expect.
LifeShine Non-Tarnish Finish
Moen LifeShine finishes are guaranteed not to tarnish, corrode or flake off for life. Developed exclusively by Moen, in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center, the LifeShine finish offers enhanced resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical attack. The LifeShine finish is in the surface--not on it--resulting in color stability for the life of the faucet. The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technique helps to eliminate hazardous by-products during the manufacturing process.
What Sets Moen Apart?
From a variety of styles designed to complement today's decors to faucets that perfectly balance your water pressure, Moen sets the standard for exceptional beauty and reliable, innovative design. Additionally, all Moen products come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects.
What's in the Box
Moen 6410 Eva Two-Handle Lavatory Faucet; metal pop-up drain assembly; installation instructions

We've already discussed this small project in depth so you know I really enjoy looking through all the pages of daily Starbucks life, something every person in that cafe experiences at least once and then immediately forget the experience. But you've gone out and recorded these moments, of motion, emotion, the clack of a keystroke and the silent contemplation of thought. I'm always ready for more.

"Verg good spot to stay on Oahu"
Kind of hard to navigate around at night when we got there to find condo. Great location though and our unit was nice and clean. Not far from Polynesian Cultural Center and nice beaches. Excellent spot to surf at the hotel.

"Ant infested"
The property is dated. Central air is necessary even despite the ceiling fans and open floor plan. However that is a minor observation compared to the extensive ant infestation throughout the unit. A few ants here or there are not a big deal- you are that the beach after all. But this was not that. Ants were EVERYWHERE. I called the property managers office and was told that this was a common problem in all the units. Really? That was not the appropriate response. The most disgusting discovery was the fact that the ants seemed to congregate inside the dishwasher! Gross! My husband discovered dish towels that were crawling with ants. He shook them out on the lanai and left the towels there. I returned them to the kitchen counter on our departure. In all, the unit was moderately comfortable and would have been fine even though it was below the typical quality of accommodation we are accustomed to but for the ants and the apparent inability or unwillingness of management to remediate the infestation. We will not return to this unit or this property next year when we return to Oahu.

"Unit 18"
We had a fantastic time staying in this comfortable unit. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing vacation.
CA, United States
Overall, everything was fine. We had a little trouble getting through the gate on the night of our arrival (we didn't have the most updated code), the key to the condo was a little hard to turn and a couple of unimportant cleaning items were overlooked--the top of the fan hood over the stove was pretty dusty and sticky and the toilet in the downstairs bathroom was a little rusty under the rim. The only reason I even saw the toilet was because I was on the floor sprinkling "Gold Bond Medicated Powder" on some pesky ants. (That really seemed to work--I never saw the ants again!.)

"Great service, property needs a good cleaning."
The security guys was tremendously helpful. I had forgotten my access code papers and he was able to track it down. Please give him a raise!
The unit I stayed at needs cleaning in spots. the top of the range hood is filthy. So too are the baseboards in spots.
Overall, I was very happy.

"A great vacation home for those on the go"
Great place and location. Just the front door needs to be updated and more welcoming perhaps painting it a bright color. When we arrived we were a little nervous. The inside was bright and cherry. The kitchen was missing a few things like a measuring cup, strainer and griddle, but we loved everything else. We enjoyed grilling by the pool

"recent stay"
Sticky front door. Difficult to open and close.
Property's location close walking distance to resort. Property clean. few grains of rice under front of refrigerator. No signage that Pool 1 (closest to the unit) is an adults only pool. Nothing in rules either. There were children swimming in pool 1 on Friday when we arrived and Saturday morning. Longer walk to other pools. Unsupervised children at pool 3 jumping off railing. We've stayed at the resort before, but the Estates at Turtle Bay unit was very comfortable and convenient. Thank you
Response from the manager, The Estates at Turtle Bay, Inc. - 06/12/2012
There are 3 pools and the Resident Manger on the property rotates them so that only one at a time is an " Adults only" pool. Pool #1 does not have that designation permanently

"Turtle Bay"
This is a beautiful condo that sleeps 4-6, is very clean, nicely decorated, and has everything you could possibly need! This is a wonderful option for those wishing to stay on the north shore of Oahu. It is inexpensive for what you get and the only other options are high priced rooms, cottages or villas of the Turtle Bay Resort. Our condo was big- master bedroom and private bath with tub. The second bath had a shower. Nice large kitchen, apartment sized washer/dryer but it got the job done, nice dining/living combo area and a loft upstairs with 2 beds. You must stop at a grocery store prior to getting to the condo as there is no place there to buy supplies. Golf course view.

We had a wonderful time in the condo. Our thirteen year old twin boys loved the loft. We enjoyed being close to the golf course. We golfed every other day.

"Generally speaking, the condo was fine but we thought perhaps mo"
most "locals" would prefer more comfortable furniture. We have been staying at the condos since the 80's and very rarely do we get one with a "homey" atmosphere. The bathroom floor could have been vacuumed of "hair" from previous renter and general "updating" could be done, but like I said, it served our purpose for the weekend getaway and golf tournament. The price was reasonable.

The perfect place for us to stay to attend our family reunion in Hauula. Close to my uncle's house where the event was held (he has a gigantic yard to acoommodate the approx. 400 of us that came), the 4 of us were very comfortable (this is a unit with a loft and 2 full baths) and the unit was clean.

"18 west"
I never stay anywhere else because the Estates at Turtle Bay are beautifully located right on the golf course and the beaches are the best and if you don't care to beach it everyday there is the pool and/or tennis courts here. This unit and I have stayed in many was the cleanest I've been in. The twin beds in the loft are a bit short if you are over
6' tall but do-able. The kitchen and bathrooms looked redone and very nice. All dishware and pots are available. It would be nice to have a few more items in the kitchen like plastic wrap or foil to cover open food with but we made do. We love Turtle Bay !

"18 West condo needs improvement"
Stayed here 4th of July weekend for a wedding with the family who also booked other condos. Location is great, however, it wasn't very clean when we got in. There was a musky smell as you entered. The refrigerator had an old stale smell, which never got cold. We brought food, and had to take it over to another condo b/c the food would spoil (very inconvenient!). We put bottled and canned drinks in the freezer for the three days we were there, never got frozen. No ice was made. Dishes in the kitchen were dusty and dirty. There were no kitchen towels. Everything had an old, stale smell.
Bedroom closets and bathroom cabinets smelled musky also. Toilet in the downstairs bathroom is not secured to the ground, and a little shakey. Hot water is only a 30-gallon tank - you can't wash dishes and use both showers at the same time otherwise you'll get cold water!
We were there on a hot and still weekend. Would have been nice to have an air conditioner in the living room. The fans only circulated the warm air.
Compared to the condos other family members were staying at, this one is a lot older and not as upgraded with furnishings. But overall, it gave us a place to sleep and shower.

"Our family weekend at Turtle Bay West"
For the price of $150/night, we were not pleased with the property. The a/c in the bedroom only blew hot air and the t.v in the bedroom did not work. The bathroom floor was not clean. We found hair on the floor. The bathroom towel was also badly stained. The pull out bed in the living room was dirty. When my son pulled it out, a whole bunch of rubbish came out. We felt safe and it was very quiet. There was also a lot of privacy but we wish the quality was a little better.
Response from the manager, The Estates at Turtle Bay, Inc. - 05/27/2008
We agree that the cleaning seemed less than satisfactory, but we could not help since we were not notified. We would have sent a housekeeper out to correct the the problems, and made the guests more comfortable. We are available 24 hours a day.
