1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to improvements in access control and particularly to enhancing the security of locking systems by requiring that a pair of differently formatted access codes be simultaneously delivered to and recognized by a locking mechanism in order to cause the operation thereof. More specifically, this invention is directed to a hybrid security device, and especially a cylinder lock, which may be operated only when a properly bitted mechanical key is inserted in the keyway of the plug portion of the lock and an encoded electrical signal is simultaneously transmitted to and recognized by the device whereby one or more pin tumbler stacks which are not operated by the mechanical key will be displaced to the unlocked position. Accordingly, the general objects of the present invention are to provide novel and improved methods and apparatus of such character.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Mechanical locks which afford an exceptionally high degree of security, i.e., locks which are exceedingly difficult to defeat, are well known in the art. An example of such a lock, which is of the cylinder type, may be seen from FIG. 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,575. In situations where a high degree of security is required, locks of the type shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,575 are desirable because the security offered by the lock may be enhanced by periodic replacement of the cylinder or plug portion of the lock, i.e., the lock may be rekeyed. There are, however, many applications where the security afforded by a lock which is responsive to a single access control device, such as a key operated mechanical lock, is considered insufficient.
Electromagnetically activated security devices have also previously been proposed and, in some cases, actually constructed and installed. These electromagnetically activated devices have employed a solenoid and associated plunger to perform a latching function, i.e., either the solenoid plunger functioned as a bolt or the state of energization of the solenoid determined whether a bolt could be moved. Examples of prior art electromagnetically activated security devices may be seen from U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,603,564, 4,730,471, 4,761,976 and 5,140,317. The prior art electromagnetically activated security devices were generally characterized by volumetric inefficiency, the possibility of defeating the lock upon accidental or deliberate disabling of the solenoid actuator and by the use of a single access control device.
Electronic access control systems, i.e., systems which switch power to a solenoid of an electromechanically activated security device in response to recognition of an electronically transmitted access code, are also well known in the art. The more sophisticated of such electronic systems have the desirable attribute of a programmable access code. Some of the previously available electronic access control systems include mechanical keys having built-in electronics for providing a coded signal which is recognized, and responded to, by circuitry included within the cooperating lock. Such electronic access control systems have previously been sold by the assignee of the present invention under the trademarks "KABA NOVA" and "LEGIC".
Security systems have also been proposed wherein a single key, with built-in electronics, may be utilized to operate either a mechanical lock of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,575 or an electronic access control. Such systems could theoretically enhance security by requiring serial operation of mechanical and electronic locking devices.
The prior art has not provided a locking system wherein all of the protective features of both mechanical and electronic locks were incorporated into a single, volumetrically efficient locking device which, in order to be actuated from a locked to an unlocked condition, would have to substantially simultaneously recognize both a mechanical code, in the form of key cross-sectional profile and bitting, and an electronic code transmitted to the lock in some suitable manner. Such a highly desirable locking system would also be characterized by an inability to defeat the lock by disabling the electronic control, and particularly the electromagnetic actuator associated therewith, or by "picking" the mechanical lock.
It is to be noted that locking systems have previously been proposed which require the simultaneous presentation of two control devices in order to permit access. In a basic form, such systems are embodied in conventional safe-deposit boxes which require two mechanical keys to be simultaneously operated to afford access. Such prior locking systems which require plural simultaneous control actions, however, have typically also required the use of dual locks or have resorted to blocking motion of the bolt, as opposed to immobilizing the plug portion of a rekeyable cylinder lock, as one of the two locking mechanisms. Bolt immobilization is inefficient, relatively easy to defeat and relatively expensive from both a manufacturing and installation viewpoint. There has not previously been a locking system which, for operation, required the substantially simultaneous use of two dissimilar devices which are brought together to, in effect, form a composite key which would be used solely for the purpose of gaining entry, the two devices thereafter being maintained under the control of different individuals.
The present invention overcomes the above briefly discussed and other deficiencies and disadvantages of the prior art by providing a novel and improved security system wherein a single locking mechanism, i.e., a rekeyable cylinder-type lock, must simultaneously be provided with two codes in order to be operated from a locked to an unlocked state. In accordance with the invention, the first one of the coded signals is a mechanical format, and particularly comprises the profile of and bitting on the blade of a key. A proper key will "enable" the lock such that, upon receipt of the second coded signal, the plug may be rotated relative to the cylinder to actuate a bolt. A security system in accordance with the invention further includes at least one pin tumbler stack of the cylinder lock which is displacable in response to a coded electrical signal. In a preferred embodiment, the position of the pin tumbler stack(s) which are subject to electrical control is varied electromagnetically. The electromagnetically displacable pin tumbler stack(s), in the same manner as the mechanically operated pin tumblers of the cylinder lock, will prevent rotation of the plug relative to the cylinder until the second coded signal has been received and recognized while the first coded signal is present. The actuator(s) for the electromagnetically displacable pin tumbler stack(s) is a solenoid(s) which is energized by control electronics associated with the lock in response to receipt of the correct second coded signal from an external source. This externally generated second signal will customarily be in digital format and, in a preferred embodiment, will be transmitted to the electronic control via a single conductive path which includes the lock and the key. Also in a preferred embodiment, the lock contains sufficient intelligence so that it may be reprogrammed so as to permit the second code to be changed without disassembly of the system.
The present invention may be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements in the several figures and in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of the lock of a security system in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partly in phantom, of a key which may be utilized with the lock of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 also showing the lock in assembled condition;
FIG. 3 is a circuit block diagram which schematically illustrates the control electronics of the lock of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a top plan view partly in section, which depicts the cooperation between the solenoid actuator and cylinder lock portions of the lock of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C schematically illustrate the operation of the portion of the lock depicted in FIG. 4;
FIGS. 6A and 6B are respectively front and side elevation views of a command signal generator which is associated with the key of FIG. 2.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional side elevation view of the key of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 8 is a top view of the key of FIG. 7.
With reference now to the drawings, a security system in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a lock, indicated generally at 10 in FIG. 1, a dual unit cooperating "key", indicated generally at 12 in FIG. 2, and a control module, indicated generally at 14 in FIG. 1. As will be described below, the control module 14 will be directly coupled to the lock 10, i.e., direct electrical connections for control signal and power transmission will be established in the manner depicted in FIG. 1. In the typical installation, the control module 14 will be installed in the same equipment which houses the lock. A digitally coded electrical control signal will, in the disclosed embodiments, be delivered to logic circuitry within module 14 via a conductive path established through the lock.
The lock 10 is a modified version of a cylinder type lock which may, for example, may be of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,575. Referring jointly to FIGS. 1 and 5, the cylinder lock includes a plug 16 which is rotatable in a cylinder 18, the plug defining a keyway 20. It will be understood that the lock 10 may be "rekeyed" by replacement of the cylinder and associated plug. The means by which such rekeying is accomplished is known in the art and has also been omitted from the drawings in the interest of facilitating understanding of the invention. It will further be understood that a tailpiece, not shown, will be mechanically coupled to the inwardly disposed end of the plug 16 for operating a bolt between the locked and retracted positions in response to rotation of plug 16 relative to cylinder 18.
Rotation of the plug 16 relative to cylinder 18 of lock 10 is accomplished by applying torque to a properly shaped and bitted blade 22 of a mechanical key which has been inserted into the keyway 20 in plug 16. In the disclosed embodiment the bitting on key blade 22 is in the form of a pattern of dimples of different size, depth and angular orientation in plural sides of the blade as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,575. These dimples cooperate with pin tumbler stacks 24 housed in the cylinder and plug of lock 10 such that, when a properly bitted key blade is inserted into the keyway, the shear lines between the cooperating bottom and driver pin tumblers of all of the mechanical key operated pin tumbler stacks will be in registration with a cylindrical interface between the plug and cylinder thus permitting plug rotation. The bitting on the key blade, accordingly, comprises the first of a pair of coded input signals which are required to operate lock 10. However, in accordance with the present invention, the insertion of a properly bitted key blade into lock 10 will not permit rotation of the plug 16 until at least one further pin tumbler stack, which may not be displaced via the keyway 20, has been displaced.
The above-mentioned further pin tumbler stack provided within lock 10 includes a spring biased bottom pin 24, which may be seen from FIG. 5A, and a cooperating driver pin 26. Bottom pin 24 is biased, by means of a spring 28, so as to normally extend across a shear line between plug 16 and cylinder 18 thus preventing plug rotation. As may be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5A, the pin chamber in the lock which accommodates the tumbler stack 24, 26 does not communicate with keyway 20. An extension of driver pin 26 is at least in part comprised of magnetic material and forms the plunger of a push-type solenoid 30. Bottom pin 24 will be pushed, against the bias of spring 28, into a receiving bore provided therefor in plug 16, i.e., to the position shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, by energization of solenoid 30. FIG. 5A schematically shows pin 26 in the solenoid deenergized position corresponding to the locked state. FIGS. 4 and 5B show pin 24 in the depressed position resulting from the force provided by energizing solenoid 30, the motion of solenoid plunger being delivered to pin 24 by driver pin 26. As shown in FIG. 5C, the outer end of bottom pin 24 will ride on an inside diameter of cylinder 18 of lock 10 during rotation of plug 16 in response to the application of torque to the blade 22 after energization of solenoid 30.
The solenoid 30 is mounted in a holder 32 which, in turn, is received in a two piece housing indicated generally at 34 in FIG. 2. Housing 34 is defined by upper and lower clamp members 36 and 38 which may be fitted over holder 32 and snapped together. The outer shell 40 of the cylinder lock is provided with slots which receive locating projections 42 on clamp members 36 and 38, the cooperation between the slots and projections insuring proper positioning of the solenoid relative to the cylinder lock.
In accordance with the preferred mode of operation of the invention, in the manner to be described below and presuming that both coded control signals are simultaneously present, the solenoid 30 will be energized after full insertion of the key blade 22 into keyway 20. The energization of solenoid. 30 needs to be only momentarily, i.e., once the plug 18 has been rotated a few degrees from the locked position the bottom pin 24 can not extend across the shear line until the plug is returned to the angular orientation commensurate with the locked condition.
To summarize the above, lock 10 may be operated from the locked to the unlocked condition only in response to simultaneous application of a pair of coded signals. The first of these signals is mechanically formatted, i.e., the first signal comprises the cross-sectional shape of and bitting on the key blade 22, while the second coded signal is a digitally coded electrical signal which is transmitted to the control electronics associated with the lock in the manner to be described below. The second signal will cause energization of solenoid 30 to displace the pin tumbler stack which includes bottom pin 24 whereby torque which is being applied to the blade 22 of a properly bitted key at the time of solenoid energization will cause rotation of the plug 16 relative to cylinder 18.
The control module 14 includes electronics in the form of a microprocessor 44, with associated memory, and a microprocessor controlled solid state switch 46 for energizing solenoid 30 via conductors 47. The memory associated with microprocessor will preferably be programmable from an external source and will store a changeable multi-digit code to which the lock is responsive. All power required for operation of the electronics within lock 10, and preferrably also for operation of the circuity associated with key 12, will be provided from an external source. This power source will typically be integral with the apparatus, for example a gambling machine, in which the lock 10 is installed.
Presuming that electrical operating power is present, an incoming data bearing signal will be compared by microprocessor 44 in control module 14, digit-by-digit, with the stored code. If a match is detected, a command signal will be generated by the microprocessor which will cause the solid state switch 46 to be "closed". The closing of switch 46 will establish a current flow path which includes the coil of solenoid 30 thereby energizing the solenoid and displacing the pin tumbler stack 24, 26 against the bias of spring 28 as described above. If desired, when the plug 16 is not rotated within a preselected time period after generation of the command signal for the solenoid control switch 46, for example because of incorrect bitting on key blade 22, the lock may be disabled for a period of time determined by instructions stored in the memory of microprocesor 44.
As discussed above, lock 10 may be operated only when both a key 12 with a properly bitted blade 22 and a means for transmitting a properly coded serial data stream to the electronics in lock 10 are simultaneously brought together. In the disclosed embodiment, and referring jointly to FIGS. 2, 6 and 7, key 12 is provided with a jack 50 having a pair of contacts. Jack 50 will be coupled, via a plug on the end of a two conductor cable 52, to a control signal generator 54 (FIG. 6A). In the disclosed embodiment, control signal generator 54 includes a microprocessor and associated communications circuitry. The control signal generator 54 may also include, but does not require, a rechargable battery pack 56. The control signal generator 54 will typically be pre-programmed so that the coded data signal to be transmitted to the lock 10 may be generated by operating a single switch 58. In the typical use environment, the control signal generator 54 will be carried by a first security officer while the mechanical key 12 will be carried by a second security officer.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 7 and 8, key 12 includes a matable combination of a mechanical key, comprising blade 22 and a bow portion 60, and an electrically insulated key holder 62. The key holder 62 is defined by a pair of housings defining molded plastic members 64 and 66 which are provided with recesses in the facing sides thereof. These recesses are sized and shaped to define a receiver for the bow 60 of the mechanical key. In the disclosed embodiment the key holder 62 is provided with a spring loaded contact pin 68 which cooperates with a contact ring 70 provided on the front face of cylinder 18 of lock 10. Contact ring 70, as best seen from FIG. 4, is received in an annular recess of a collar 72 provided about the front of lock 10. Collar 72 is comprised of a non-conductive material and, accordingly, ring 70 is electrically insulated from the lock. The contact ring 70 is connected, via an insulated conductor 74 which extends through a bore provided therefore in the collar 72 to control module 14.
Returning to a discussion of key 12, pin 68 is electrically connected to a first conductor of cable 52 via jack 50 as shown in FIG. 7. When key blade 22 is fully inserted in the keyway of lock 10, pin 68 will be urged against contact ring 70 by biasing spring 76 thus insuring a good electrical contact between the pin and ring. Also, the bow 60 of the mechanical key is sandwiched in key holder 62 so as to establish an electrical contact with a terminal 78 provided on holder defining member 64. Terminal 78 is electrically connected to jack 50 and, via jack 50, to the second conductor of cable 52. Thus, insertion of key blade 22 in the plug 16 of lock 10 will establish a complete electrical circuit for power and signal transmission between control module 14 and control signal generator 54 with the lock cylinder and mechanical key in part defining, in the disclosed embodiment, a first conductor 80 of this circuit.
In the operation of the disclosed embodiment, when the plug on the end of cable 52 is inserted in jack 50 and the key blade 22 has been inserted in the keyway 20 in plug 16, the encoded data stream may be transmitted from control signal generator 54 to control module 14, in the manner described above, a result of activation of switch 58.
While a preferred embodiment has been shown and described, various modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the present invention has been described by way of illustration and not limitation.

Varsity eight at Head of the American in Sacramento, Calif. last October
The Long Beach State Men's and Women's rowing teams (LBS Rowing) will undertake a twelve-hour "ergathon" in front of Legends Sports Bar, 5236 East Second St., on Saturday, October 18. The objective of the ergathon, which will run from 9a.m. to 9p.m., is to raise funds to assist the teams with the costs of traveling to Sacramento to compete in the season-opening Head of The American River at the end of October.
The ergathon is the LBS Rowing's biggest fundraiser of the year. The men's and women's teams will take turns rowing on indoor-rowing machines, or ergometers. For every dollar donated, a rower will demonstrate his or her prowess by pulling ten powerful strokes. Every donor who provides $10 or more will receive a team tank top.
"This year we hope to beat last year's $1,000 that was raised after rowing over 100,000 meters throughout the day," Women's head coach Ian Simpson said.
With over one hundred members, LBS Rowing is the largest club sport at LBSU. The team competes against NCAA Division 1 programs and other club teams at regattas in California including the San Diego Crew Classic. LBS Rowing is self-funded, relying on member dues, the Associated Students Incorporated, grants from the LBSU Foundation and other donors such as the Beach Crew Alumni Association.
Friday, 5. September 2014
CSULB Associated Students (ASI) kicked off another year with the annual "Week of Welcome" activities. More than 300 student clubs and organizations call CSULB home, and that number alone can be daunting for new students trying to figure out where they fit in.
ASI makes the choice a little easier by inviting these clubs and organizations to come out and introduce themselves to new and returning students. This year, get involved by visiting Week of Welcome '14.
On Friday, September 5th from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., Beach Crew hosted the annual SmorgaSport Regatta using the RowPro simulator on a big screen and eight Concept2 ergometers. In years past, Beach Crew has stolen crowds from around the event over to what looks like a game, but in reality, they get hooked on rowing. The rest is history! Someone's rowing career could start that night. The SmorgaSport Regatta has become a key venue at the event.
Novice rowers start on Monday, September, 8 at 5:30 AM.
More information regarding ASI's Week of Welcome can be found here.

Over at the official Doctor Who Facebook page, they're having a week devoted to the headphone-wearing tinpot Tin Men without emotions, the Cybermen. Which prompted us to have a dig about on YouTube to try and show the full evolution of this robo-species.
As you can see, they've changed a LOT since they met the First Doctor, back in 1966, in The Tenth Planet.
The key line here, for anyone used to the more recent Cybervoices, is "you do not seem to take us seriously." How could anyone? And why are they carrying a stove on their fronts? That's a big torch to have strapped to your head too.
The original Cybermen still had human parts, you see. Those hands are real, so maybe that stove doubles as a hand-warmer.
Things changed a lot by the time the Second Doctor met up with his Cyberfoes again. And continued to do so every time they did battle. This is from The Tomb Of The Cybermen, note the use of practise golf balls for external joints:
By the time the Doctor meets them again, in The Wheel In Space, they've taken on a more artistic expression. Little tears under the eyes, and oddly, under the mouth too. And the torch is smaller, and the headphone pipe less weighty, replacing them with a corduroy skullcap.
By the time they get it together to invade Earth in The Invasion, they've changed again. The headphones are back on, bigger than ever, and the mouth is just a slit. They're still crying though.
The Third Doctor did not meet with the Cybermen, and by the time the Fourth Doctor did, they hadn't changed much, except their leader had coloured his headphones in and those practise golf balls had become yoghurt pots.
In the '80s, the Cybermen grew even bigger heads, and wore shoulder pads, just like Joan Collins. They had perspex mouths and they weren't crying any more, whether they were doing battle with the Fifth or Sixth or Seventh Doctors. All of which made their bodies suddenly look a little punier than before. Not that it stopped them getting up to mischief:
And you'll notice they've sorted their voices out this time. Which is good.
Of course, once the show was relaunched, the design changed again. Out went the shoulder pads and big headphones, in came cheekbones, and the tears and slit-mouths and robo-voices were back too. Oh and they like to wear slightly flamboyant cuffs, and for the very first time, appear to be made of actual unpuny metal.
Tell us about it, Captain Jack:
And if any of this appears mocking, it's not intended that way. Part of the horror of the Cybermen is that they are part human, they are in a state of evolution from one thing to another. They're unfinished. However they change in the future, they'll always be terrifying because you can always empathise with the small, terrified blob of human meat buried deep behind their crying eyes.

The RFA guidlines now are put together so that teams that have the rights to young players can easily keep those rights until those players hit UFA.
The new CBA is something else and no one knows what's coming, but I think that the RFA compensation will stay as is, with the UFA age getting lowered to 28-30. That seems like the most possible and most logical change to the RFA process. I highly doubt that compensation for RFA's will be lowered enough in the new CBA to make it worth while for teams to sign RFA's.
With the new CBA likely to keep compensation the same, it is absolutely not worth it for teams to sign RFA's from other teams. I would love to have Gaborik, I would love to have Thornton, but why in the world would we give up our next 3 or 4 1st round picks just for one player. And if there were any player that were worth the compensation, it would only be because he signed a low offer with us, thus we wouldn't have to give up that much compensation. But, in that case, the team that owns his rights would match the offer 99% of the time.
BTW, a quick question now that I am on this topic. How are bonuses figured in to RFA offer sheets? Do teams have to match the exact offer sheet, or just the average yearly salary, without bonuses? Or are bonuses added along with the base salaries and average out over the length of the contract, providing for a yearly average which has to be matched? I knew this, but for some reason it slipped my mind.... anyone that can clarify for me I would appreciate it.

We are staying open until 5pm to give everyone extra time to make it out!

Your continued patronage was/is the greatest gift you could give to us this Holiday season (and throughout the year).

and extra shopping hours on Monday and Thursday evenings, plus 9am-5pm on Sunday 12/21
Happy Thanksgiving
Enjoy!! We are Thankful for all of YOU!
As we enter our 6th Holiday shopping season and our 2nd with a retail location, I am most Thankful for all of you who make the choice to purchase your tea from me, at Markets and events, our shop and on-line.
It has not been an easy time to start and maintain a business. When I started in 2009 the "mall stores" were pretty much the only option for looseleaf tea drinkers, and if you wanted "organic" – forget it. Now, there are lots of on-line options and more and more stores are carrying a wider variety of teas.
We strive to continue bringing you high quality at affordable prices.
Your continued support has allowed me to create a nearly full-time position for Galen, and supplement incomes for several other employees.
When you enjoy our tea, please feel our gratitude with every sip!
Kateri Meyer
Galen, Hannah, Joseph, Mallory, and Wintaye
Check the calendar for scheduled events and extra shopping hours for the next few weeks.
Remember, you can order on-line from us too.
We are looking forward to serving tea at the 1st Annual World's Fare Heritage Festival and Games Sept 12-14, 2014
In commemoration to the 1904 World's Fair and Expo, and iced tea becoming popularized that summer, in addition to our own Iced Tea Blend, we will be serving a "flight" of teas from around the world.
The event organizers are also looking for more volunteers to assist in the event. Click the link if you want to aid in the success of this inaugural event celebrating St. Louis history & the arts.

Special events, special hours can be found our Calendar/Events Page, and info on the various Markets we attend is HERE.
Occasionally we may be open a little later, or on an "Off" day if working on a project – You are Always welcome, whenever we are there.
It is the height of Market Season. We enjoy Sharing Good Tea with all of you!
If I offer you $3 for a $2 bill will you take it?
That is the idea behind our "Purchasing Power Program" cards. Your advance purchase gives BOTH of us purchasing power. You get more for your money each time you visit, and in turn, we get much needed capital to stock the shop.
Purchase this card for $20
YOU Get $30-$40 of purchasing power for only $20
Card has a total of 10 stars or symbols (cost to you = $2 per star/symbol)
Each time you shop with us one star or symbol will get "punched" and you will receive at least $3 off your purchase that day
$3 value for each STAR
Special symbols (bus, bicycle, cat, snowflake) are each worth $5 if you qualify as follows:
Bus – Did you ride the bus today? show us your bus pass or bus ticket for that day
Bicycle – Is your bike outside?
Cat – Are you wearing a Tenth Life button, tee shirt, or hoodie?
Snowflake – Is it raining or snowing when you come in to shop?
Present the card to us wherever we are selling (Markets OR events)
Or you can leave the card on file in our shop, and the value will only be redeemed there.

Shop Finally OPEN!
FINALLY. I guess it always takes about 2 months longer and at least 25% more $ than you expect it to.
to these!
AND – We've got a great staff to assist you wherever we are!
Now we can get back to stocking teas and accessories, and coming up with more ways to help you Share Good Times with Good Tea.

Shipping Rate: $0.00
This item ships directly from the manufacturer, please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. This item does not qualify for free shipping.
Ground Shipping
Products weighing up to 75 lbs. will typically be allowed to ship via UPS Ground. If multiple products are purchased, and together exceed the maximum Ground Shipping weight limit, the method of shipping will change from Ground to Freight. In some cases a product may have oversized exterior dimensions which require Freight shipping.
Freight Shipping
Products weighting over 75 lbs., or products with oversized exterior dimensions, will ship Freight via an 18-wheel truck. Assembly or set-up is NOT included with freight shipping. All deliveries are considered "curbside" deliveries unless special arrangements are made with our customer service department. Due to the large size of many of our products, some or all of the following may be part of a Freight delivery:
- Lift Gate Fee – Additional Fee required for the Freight delivery truck to arrive with an "elevator" to lower the shipment to ground level. This is often necessary to safely lower a shipment, often containing hundreds of pounds of equipment or more, to ground level. This option is also used if a forklift, to unload the truck, is not available at your place of business. If this option is necessary for delivery to your place of business, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.
- Residential Delivery Fee – Additional Fee required for delivery to a residential area, regardless if a business is present in the residential area. This fee is required due to residential areas being largely inaccessible to 18-wheel trucks. Deliveries to residential areas often require the products to be loaded onto a smaller delivery truck, which may also require a Lift Gate as described above. If this option is necessary for delivery, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817
- Inside Delivery Fee – Delivery to the inside of your building is NOT included on curbside freight deliveries. Inside delivery is available through many trucking companies at an additional charge, ONLY if your building is accessible to palletized freight deliveries made with a pallet jack. For more information or to request inside delivery service, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.

Reporting From CopenhagenWritten by Bill Hahn
William F. Jasper, senior editor for The New American and Alex Newman, contributor to The New American, are in Copenhagen this week attending the United Nations Climate Conference.
Could you imagine being jailed simply because you decided to opt your children out of sex education? Well, this is exactly what is happening to a number of fathers in Germany. And, if certain forces in the United States have their way, such a policy could one day find its way to our shores as well.
"Our Magna Carta has been superceeded," declared the London Daily Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard as the European Union came into force for Britain. In his December 6 column, Evans-Pritchard explained that "the Charter of Fundamental Rights — legally binding in the UK as of Tuesday, when Lisbon came into force — asserts that the EU has the authority to circumscribe all rights and freedoms."
The Islamic State of Iraq, a militant umbrella group linked to al-Qaeda, claimed the blame on December 10 for a series of coordinated bombings in Baghdad this week that killed 127 people and wounded more than 500. The group posted a message on its website that it would "uproot pillars of this government and … demolish its corners."
Lisbon Treaty Builds EU Super-stateWritten by Alex Newman
The once-sovereign nations of Europe are about to become saddled with an even more powerful governing body in Brussels — a powerful new entity taking shape despite the wishes of many citizens and even some national leaders.

33 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 27-33 within 30 miles
Active within 24 hours
Looking to meet someone new.
I am originally from a city just north of Los Angeles, and I've lived in Los Angeles for the past 3 years. It is nice living close to home since I can visit my family whenever I feel like it. I work as a computer programmer, so I enjoy mentally stimulating activities like reading, movies, and video games in my personal time. I also like to play sports, go camping, travel, and explore new areas. However, I don't get out as much as I would like as exploring with someone else is much more fun that doing it by myself. I consider myself to be a laid back guy, but I can also be shy, which makes it hard to take the first steps in meeting new people. I do open up quickly, so send me an email if there is anything else about you would like to know.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Golf, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

The New Chippendales Show Adds Funk, Sizzle...and a Runway
"Tyson Beckford Is In The House!".
You may have caught some of the media blitz surrounding the actor/model's limited hosting gig (Thurs.-Sun. through May 24th) at the long-running Chippendales male revue. Actually, it's been hard to miss with all of the hype and his numerous talk show appearances. What you may not know is that Beckford arrived during a nearly top-to-bottom (heh heh) revamping of the production. While the hard-bodied hit has always featured current music and cutting-edge dance moves, the latest relaunch is taking male sex appeal to new extremes.

Jeff Civillico To Bare (Nearly) All In Strip Stunt
4.12 Update: Jeff will now ride down Las Vegas Boulevard beginning at 5:30 a.m. Monday. He will begin on Fremont Street underneath Vegas Vic and will end at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign.
For some folks, especially Vegas performers, there's a fine line between being committed and getting committed. The LINQ Hotel's daytime headliner Jeff Civillico seems to enjoy blurring that line.
The perpetually busy juggler/comedian/talk show host/charity activist regularly tests the definition of sanity with his antics. For example, his annual -- and increasingly outlandish -- plunge down the walls of Planet Hollywood on a unicycle (to raise funds for Special Olympics Nevada). No doubt the guys in white coats have been circling Jeff for a while. We're betting Monday, April 13 is the day Jeff finally gets to ride in the padded wagon.

Westgate Brings Vegas A New Kind Of 'Sexxy'... Or Does It?
Westgate Las Vegas (most recently known as LVH and the Las Vegas Hilton) unveiled its newest show to the media February 4 with the grand opening of topless revue, Sexxy. The 65-minute show featured producer and choreographer Jennifer Romas who is also a dancer in Westgate's Purple Reign production and has a long list of dancing credits on her resume.
Since it was a media night, the tiny Shimmer Cabaret theatre where the show takes place was packed to capacity. I had high hopes and was optimistic for this show since it's received a lot of local buzz. It only took two numbers for that optimism to diminish. I am not on #TeamSexxy.

Spies Love Showers? Bathrooms In Suites At SLS Will Be Very See-Through
There's only 10 days until the SLS Las Vegas opens and, while rooms are only available in the Story and World towers for the first two nights (starting at $189 a night), the Lux rooms will be available beginning August 25, offering not only more space but also more sexiness.
As we told you back in May, the Lux rooms start at 425 square feet and feature mirrors on the ceilings, long white leather chaises and illustrated drapery that is wrapped around most of the room. This drapery also covers the glassed-in bathroom shower. So, while you can't step into the shower from the room, you can pull back the drapery and admire whoever is taking the shower. Surprise! Prince Harry, the SLS is practically calling your name!

The 6 Hottest Hunks Of Vegas
It wasn't long ago that a Vegas performer was content to stand at a microphone, backed by a trio of singers doing the same synchronized hip-swaying. But, ever since Cirque du Soleil gained a foothold on the Las Vegas Strip, other shows have had to up their game. Today's headliners are surrounded by dancers, acrobats and aerialists. Not only that, the traditional Las Vegas showgirl is almost a memory. Today's Vegas belongs to showboys, so to speak.
Smooth, chiseled to perfection and eager to bare their flesh, the supporting male performers of today's Sin City are bachelorette party ready. They also appeal to the ever-increasing LGBTQ market. We'll give gay icon Celine Dion credit for making the first move on this front as her A New Day! at Caesars Palace was bursting with male eye candy. Now, both new and revamped productions have gotten into the act.

Le Reve's Little Devil Is An Angel With A Cause
The Devil will direct a Las Vegas stripper show for charity.
Stick with us. This will all start to make sense in a moment.
Las Vegas is very much like a cruise ship. Thousands of tourists hop on board for a few nights of partying, dining, and frolicking before returning to their everyday lives. And, just like on those seafaring vessels, talented performers from around the world provide the entertainment.
Ryan Lyons is one such individual. A native of Windsor, Ontario, he relocated to Las Vegas in 2005 to help launch Le Reve - The Dream at the soon-to-open Wynn. After nine years and more than four thousand performances, many original cast members have disembarked and moved on to other adventures. But Lyons, a gymnast and tumbler who represented his homeland in international competitions, has made Las Vegas his permanent residence.

We Experienced Riviera's Men And We Liked It
The new male revue at Riviera is certainly an experience. Men the Experience doesn't vary much from other Las Vegas male revues but what it lacks in originality, it makes up for in earnestness.
The five dancers that make up the cast all look like they really want to be there. Granted we went on media night when they were likely to be on their best behavior, but the perma-smiles and enthusiastic crowd interaction (read: they will find you even if you are hiding behind your friends) makes it appear like they really are having as much fun as the audience. With their synchronized dance moves, they look like a finely oiled machine. They are fine and, most certainly, oiled.

'Men Of The Strip' Finally Live Up To Name
The big event set for March 29 has finally come and gone. And, we don't mean Earth Hour or the first rides on the High Roller, even though those little blips happened, too. No, we're referring to the Las Vegas premiere of Men Of The Strip. And, if that name doesn't ring a bell, you must have missed our coverage here. And, here. And here, too. Yes, we've been following the show for awhile and now we can answer whether it was worth the hype.

"Shut up" and drive!andrealbu | June 12, 2015 | See all andrealbu's reviews »
Euro Truck Simulator 2 drives you in uncountable hours of pure, simple and relaxing entertainment. Through the roads of central Europe this game gives you the possibility to feel like a real delivery-man loading lots of different cargoes in numerous trucks. Visually the game has had an astonishing enhancement since the previous euro truck simulator though with time the scenarios tend to get repetitive and annoying. One aspect that caught my curiosity was that you can easily find and listen to numerous radio stations from the available countries which really gives you a relaxing sensation. Driving through different cities and particularly different countries leads you to diverse sights, roads and, of course, driving rules. I found the map to be quite simplistic and monotonous and Mediterranean countries such as Portugal and Spain were left out of the game for my own frustration. Nevertheless, the recent add of steam achievements is a great way to extend the life-time of the game by bringing new motivation to keep playing.
Best Simulator Ever!!!ajaysankarj | June 4, 2015 | See all ajaysankarj's reviews »
First of all I say this is a truck driving simulator where you can actually drive trucks across europe and perform deliveries. Unlike other simulators this is a good game where you can feel relaxed and happiness. Moreover developers reward their customers occasionally by giving free DLCs by playing this game. I already got 3 paid DLCs for free from this developer. Now considering the gameplay, game uses a day-night cycle, you can build a trucking company inside the game; perform deliveries using hired drivers and make profit. I mostly played with an Xbox 360 controller, I have to manually assign keys to the controller to get a better experience. You have to perform deliveries within the preferred time limit. Deliveries with no damage will get extra goodies as reward. Pros: 1. Best Truck Driving Simulator 2. Good graphics 3. Lots of trucks Cons: 1. No direct Multiplayer support
Good mood simulator.MrAsterB | May 15, 2015 | See all MrAsterB's reviews »
First of all this game is incredibly relaxing. Pick the right radio station or play your own playlists and just drive around - you will start feeling better about yourself in no time. As a simulator you'd expect difficult controls, stressful need for accuracy and high price for mistakes - but its not there. Its not arcadish in common sense either though - it balances in between. Kinda hard to explain, but if you start playing you'll feel it immediately. The game rewards you with feeling of accomplishment as much as any hard simulator does. But at the same time it will punish you for mistakes as little as arcades do, so you wouldn't get demoralised as much. And yet it feels realistic. All that should be enough to at least check the game out but there is much much more. Active developers, lots of free stuff comes with patches, fairly priced addons with huge amounts of content, free player-made mods, good traffic AI, great visuals, sounds, optimisation etc.. Overall its a must-have for anyone who enjoys well-done games in any genre and a must-try for pretty much anyone else. Demo is free after all.

Great game for SCS software. They really know how to make a good quality game with amazing updates. The of the best updates is the Multiplayer Mod. That is the best thing about ETS 2. Would definitely recommend this game to anyone, even if you hate cars and trucks. Play it with some friends, it will make the whole experience even better!
Deceptively AddictiveZaggeta | May 7, 2015 | See all Zaggeta's reviews »
One of the most dull looking popular games of the era may also be one of its most addictive. When asked about Euro Truck Simulator 2, most people who haven't played it would not believe that it averages out as the third highest rated game on Steam. People who have played it know why. The game ties together the nihilistic number accumulation of RPGs, the realistic driving of hardcore simulators, the business aspects of the tycoons of yesteryear and the exploration of adventure games. It can appeal to almost anyone. Besides the complete sense of accomplishment which comes with every milestone, the game has created an amazing atmosphere of calm melancholy combined with a feeling one can only describe as nostalgia. I've never been to Europe, so shouldn't feel nostalgic about it - but what is nostalgic is the idea of travelling. The problem with many peoples travels is that they are in cars. Trucks are infinitely better.

Emilio Cuartero and Head Coach Mark Leroux led Mizzou to a sixth tournament title this season.
April 9, 2013
Columbia, Mo. -
Mizzou Intercollegiate Day Two
Missouri Golf rolled to its third consecutive Columbia Orthopaedic Group Mizzou Intercollegiate crown on Tuesday, earning a 19-shot win over Austin Peay to record its sixth win of the 2012-13 season.
Windy conditions drove up scores on Tuesday, but Head Coach Mark Leroux's Tigers continued their steady play, finishing 12-under-par for the tournament and placing four scorers in the Top 12 overall. Missouri had all-five starters finish among the Top 20 and two individuals, Jacob Fair and Brad Moody, finished among the Top 10.
Emilio Cuartero and Hunter Kraus paced Mizzou finishing second overall at 4-under-par. Cuartero suffered a bogey on the final hole to finish one shot behind Austin Peay's Dustin Korte (-5) and Kraus, a native of Memphis, Tenn., worked his way into title contention with a 2-under-par 70. The second place finish by Kraus was his best of the year.
Senior Jace Long (-2) maintained his consistent play shooting rounds of 71-71-72 to finish fifth, while Ryan Zech, the 2012 C.O.G. Mizzou Intercollegiate champion, was 11th. Tommie Wuennenberg was 18th overall with rounds of 74-70-78.
Missouri's team total of 12-under-par set a new tournament record. The previous low was 8-under-par set last season. Ryan Zech of Mizzou (2012) and Kelly Kraft of SMU (2009) continue to hold the individual 54-hole low of 209.
Missouri returns to action April 19-21 at the SEC Championships. The event will be held at Sea Island, Ga.
