This application is related to an application entitled "APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING LIGHT FROM A LIGHT SOURCE TO A LIGHT DETECTOR" having Ser. No. 09/643,586 and filed on Aug. 22, 2000 by Thomas J. Thornburg et al and assigned to the same assignee. This application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety by this reference.
The present invention generally relates to flat panel displays, and more particularly relates to flat panel displays having an LED backlight, and even more particularly relates to methods and systems for controlling failure mode operations of LEDs in a flat panel display.
Recently, it has been proposed to use light emitting diodes (LEDs) to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It also has been proposed to utilized many strings of individual LEDs operating in series. Because an entire string of LEDs may fail if just one LED therein fails, or another single fault in the string occurs, designers have proposed to arrange the individual LEDs of each string in a widely scattered distribution. With this dispersion of individual LEDs in each string, the failure of a single string will not result in a visibly dark spot on the display, which would otherwise occur if the strings were arranged in concentrated groups.
While this design of employing widely scattered individual LEDs in each string has been used in the past, it does have some drawbacks. First of all, when a string fails, there is a slight reduction in the total brightness produced by the backlight. If many strings are used in a display, this degradation of brightness resulting from a single string failure may be slight and barely perceivable. In such situations, if another string were to fail, the brightness would again be reduced further. If the failures occur serially, i.e., one at a time, the viewer may not immediately recognize that one or more of the strings has failed. The backlight performance could continue to gradually decline until the brightness of the display becomes a serious problem. Secondly, if only a limited number of strings is used in the display, the failure of a single string will result in an immediately detectable degradation in backlight brightness. In certain critical applications, such as aviation electronics, this can be a serious problem.
Consequently, there exists a need for improved methods and systems for operating strings of widely dispersed individual LEDs in an efficient manner.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for operating an LED backlight in an efficient manner.
It is a feature of the present invention to utilize an optical feedback system.
It is another feature to include a dedicated sensor LED in each string of LEDs in the display backlight.
It is another feature of the present invention to include light sensor which measures the combined output of numerous sensor LEDs from the numerous LED strings.
It is yet another feature of the present invention to include a current measuring device in each of the strings for indicating that a string has failed.
It is an advantage of the present invention to achieve improved efficiency in operating LED backlights when a failure of a string occurs.
The present invention is an apparatus and method for controlling an LED backlight during failure modes, which is designed to satisfy the aforementioned needs, provide the previously stated objects, include the above-listed features, and achieve the already articulated advantages. The present invention is carried out in a "dimming-less" manner in a sense that the adverse effects of an immediate dimming, upon the occurrence of a string failure, of the overall display brightness, have been greatly reduced.
Accordingly, the present invention is a system and method including an optical feedback mechanism which utilizes at least one LED in each string as an optical source for an optical brightness monitor.
The invention may be more fully understood by reading the following description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, in conjunction with the appended drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram view of a system of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side view of a portion of the backlight and LCD combination of the present invention.
Now referring to the drawings wherein like numerals refer to like matter throughout, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a flat panel display backlight system of the present invention generally designated 100, including a backlight viewing area 102, which may be disposed behind a viewing area of an LCD display. Backlight viewing area 102 is shown having a bezel covered area 104 adjacent thereto which may be typically covered by a bezel around an LCD or is otherwise not visible through the display. Backlight 100 includes a plurality of strings of LEDs, each of which has a plurality of widely scattered individual LEDs therein. More specifically, there is shown first LED string 110, which includes first LED driver 112, which is well known in the art, and a first string sensor LED 114, which is preferably disposed at the end of the first LED string 110 and preferably disposed in bezel covered area 104 or another location which does not obstruct the light through the display. Disposed between first LED driver 112 and first string sensor LED 114 is first string viewing area components 116. First string viewing area components 116 are preferably individual LEDs which are well known in the art. First string viewing area components 116 may be coupled by wires, traces or other known techniques.
Also shown in the Figure is second LED string 120, second LED driver 122, second string sensor LED 124, second string viewing area components 126, third LED string 130, third LED driver 132, third string sensor LED 134, third string viewing area components 136, Nth LED string 140, Nth LED driver 142, Nth string sensor LED 144, and Nth string viewing area components 146.
First string sensor LED 114, second string sensor LED 124, third string sensor LED 134 and Nth string sensor LED 144 are shown disposed together in a light sensing assembly 150, which has a centrally disposed photodetector 160. Any type of photodetector can be used, and any arrangement of LEDs could be used as well. However, it may be preferred to use a circular array of LEDs around a central photodetector and a reflective dome (not shown) disposed over top of the light sensing assembly 150. Such a light detecting assembly is described in co-pending application entitled "APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING LIGHT FROM A LIGHT SOURCE TO A LIGHT DETECTOR" having Ser. No. 09/643,586 and filed on Aug. 22, 2000 by Thomas J. Thornburg et al. and assigned to the same assignee. This application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety by this reference.
Photodetector 160 is coupled to optical feedback control 170, which generates control signals responsive to the light levels detected by photodetector 160 and supplies these control signals, via optical feedback line 180 to first LED driver 112, second LED driver 122, third LED driver 132, and Nth LED driver 142. When a light string fails, the overall brightness detected by photodetector 160 will decrease because one of the LEDs being monitored by the photodetector 160 will no longer contribute to the light incident upon photodetector 160. Optical feedback control 170 can be any type of control device which is believed to be readily made for each particular application by a person skilled in the art. Optical feedback control 170 would provide control signals which command the remaining strings of LEDs to operate at a higher level of output. This will compensate for the loss in brightness due to the failed string.
In one possible embodiment of the present invention, it may be desirable to provide a visual indication to the viewer of the display that one of the LED strings has failed. This could be done so that the viewer would be advised to have the backlight serviced or replaced. Failure mode indicator LED 190 is shown coupled to optical feedback control 170. Failure mode indicator LED 190 could be commanded by optical feedback control 170 to illuminate at varying levels of brightness depending upon the number of strings of LEDs that may have failed. As more strings fail, failure mode indicator LED 190 can be made to become brighter and brighter.
Now referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a side view of the present invention, including the backlight 100, an LCD array 200 and a bezel 220. A display viewing window 202 is shown adjacent the backlight viewing area 102 and within the bezel 220. Failure mode indicator LED 190 is shown disposed on a side of the assembly closest to the viewer 230 and outside of said display viewing window 202. Said bezel 220 may have a reflective inside surface 221 which forms a reflective dome for reflecting light from first string sensor LED 114, second string sensor LED 124, third string sensor LED 134 and Nth string sensor LED 144 into photodetector 160. In the alternative, an independent dedicated reflective dome could be employed as well.
In operation, the apparatus and method of the present invention as described in FIGS. 1 and 2, could function as follows:
1. Several independent strings of LEDs (first LED string 110, second LED string 120, third LED string 130 and Nth LED string 140) are provided across a backlight viewing area 102 of a backlight for a flat panel display 100;
2. One of the LEDs (first string sensor LED 114, second string sensor LED 124, third string sensor LED 134 and Nth string sensor LED 144) in each string is disposed so that light emitting therefrom is incident upon a photodetector 160.
3. Photodetector 160 monitors the overall light level and generates a signal representative of that light level.
4. Optical feedback control 170 receives the light level signal from photodetector 160 and generates a control signal in response thereto. If the level of brightness declines because of a failure of one of the strings of LEDs, then optical feedback control 170 will command the remaining operational strings to produce more light. This control varies, depending upon the number of failed strings of LEDs and the light output.
5. The control signal is provided, via optical feedback line 180 to the drivers, first LED driver 112, second LED driver 122, third LED driver 132, and Nth LED driver 142.
6. Optionally, a visual indication of a failure of a string is provided by optical feedback control 170 commanding failure mode indicator LED 190 to increase its brightness when the control signal on optical feedback line 180 is causing the remaining strings to produce more light. Other methods of communicating a failure of a string are envisioned, such as but not limited to: generation of a digital message which is delivered to a maintenance computer or an e-mail to a service center.
Throughout this description, reference is made to widely scattered or randomly dispersed LEDs in each string, because it is believed that the beneficial aspects of the present invention would be most readily apparent when used in connection with such strings; however, it should be understood that the present invention is not intended to be limited to random or widely scattered strings and should be hereby construed to include linear strings and other non-random strings as well.
It is thought that the method and apparatus of the present invention will be understood from the foregoing description and that it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construct steps, and arrangement of the parts and steps thereof, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of their material advantages. The form herein described is merely a preferred exemplary embodiment thereof.

Indian Spiced Swiss Chard
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This Spring I craved the sweet, smoky spices and hot ginger of traditional Indian cuisine, but was trying to cut back on dairy and carbs. Luckily, my garden provided an embarrassment of Swiss Chard and I experimented with spices that would satisfy my craving healthily. This dish is sweet from the cardamon and coriander and packs a heady heat from ginger. Toast and grind your own spices if you can to maximize the flavor.
This dish is delicious as a simple meal over rice with a dollop of yoghurt, but I like to serve it as an accompaniment to simple grilled fish. I served it twice to chard-skeptics and they came back for thirds! —lloreen
Serves 4-6
Spice Mixture
- 1.5 tablespoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 green cardamon pods, seeds only
- .5 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 pinch cayenne (to taste)
- In a dry hot pan, toast your cumin, coriander, and cardamon, agitating the pan constantly until the pods begin to brown and smell toasted. Be careful to remove them before they burn.
- Grind all your spices in a mortar or spice grinder.
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 3 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 dash sea salt
- 1 bunch chard stems, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 bunch chard leaves, rolled like cigars and cut in thin strips
- In a large pan with a fitted lid, heat your oil or ghee over medium low heat. Add the onion, stirring to coat with the fat, then let it cook slowly until translucent and the bottom layer begins to caramelize, about 20 minutes
- Add the ginger and garlic and stir 60 seconds
- Turn the heat up to medium. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and spice mixture. Cover and let simmer until the tomatoes break apart easily with a wooden spoon and begin to look like a sauce. (about 5-10 mins) --You can make the dish up to this point up to 24 hours ahead and then reheat and proceed at dinner.
- Add the chard stems and simmer, uncovered until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Add the chard leaves, cover, and let simmer until the leaves wilt (2-3 minutes)
- Salt to taste.

Love this - especially the blend that's top heavy with coriander. (In so many, cumin takes top billing.) I plan to make this soon, as in tomorrow evening, for house guests, as part of a vegan meal. ;o)

I love cumin but there is something about the milder sweetness of coriander that compliments the iron earthiness of chard. I hope the recipe works okay for you! Enjoy the vegan feast!

Beautiful Soup
Posted March 30, 2015on:
The pot of soup coming to a boil on the stove is not particularly green, except for the soup greens and extra celery, but it is rich. This pot started with some leftover liquid from the corned beef and cabbage I had made the other day. I had decided that it would be a good base for soup, so I saved it. Today, I skimmed the excess fat off and strained out the pickling spices. I put that in my French Oven, along with a package of soup greens, a cut up butternut squash (thank you, Glasser & Sands), about a pound of cubed beef, an extra onion, and two extra celery stalks. Tossed in a bit of salt, pepper, and cumin, and a box of low sodium beef broth. Added water to cover the solids, and it is now wafting a gorgeous scent across the kitchen. This is going to be soup like my mom and grandma used to make — the pot sitting and barely simmering overnight, with broth or water added as needed. I expect it will actually be a rich stew by the end of the week.
The roomie notes I've been on a cooking jag. Yesterday, I made chicken salad out of the leftovers from a rotisserie chicken we had gotten. Chicken salad is easy – just chop up the leftover chicken (remove the skin), add some celery, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and enough mayonnaise or mashed avocado t hold it all together. Sue says her mom, who disliked mayo, used to do it with ketchup instead of mayo. If she had told me before I had put the mayo in, I would have put a bit aside to try it. Oh, well; next time.
I also made a loaf of whole wheat bread. I found a no-knead recipe that turns out a nice, crusty, artisanal loaf using the French Oven. When Glasser dropped off some groceries earlier, I gave him the first slice, and he thought it was pretty good.
The thing is; I like to cook. Before I got sick, I used my newfound ability to turn out tasty stuff to help support my weight loss efforts. After my surgery, however, I could barely stand. I still can't stand for too long, due to the sciatica and spinal issues, but I'm at a point where I can sit and chop things, and get things out of the cupboards. The roomie is turning into a fairly capable sous chef – handing me the stuff I need and running back and forth between me and the stove to add things when necessary.
I've promised my aunt that when I visit her I will do some cooking. Neither of us is rich, and my doing the cooking will pretty much ensure I can stick to my food plan. It also means I can treat my aunt to some good homemade bread – something she says she has never had.
As for today; dinner is some lovely, garlicky chicken salad on a slice of homemade whole wheat bread, and a bowl of my soup, with a bit of parmesan grated over it (I'd've put a cheese rind in, ala Rachael Ray, but I don't have one to hand.)

Beef and Lentil Stoup
Posted February 23, 2015on:
I am a sucker, especially in winter, for a good, hearty, homemade soup or stew. A stoup, as defined by Rachael Ray, combines the best of both worlds. It's real comfort food. I adapted this from Simple Nourished Living's recipe for "Mom's Simple Hearty Lentil Sausage Stew". I used a cooking method my friend Mamadeb had mentioned in her blog, Steadily On. It is a Weight Watchers friendly recipe; most of the ingredients are power foods. Beef and Lentil Stoup works for the Simply Filling plan and is 5 Points Plus per 1-cup serving for those doing tracking.
Beef and Lentil Stoup
Adapted by Deb Wunder (otherdeb)
12 1-cup servings
5 5 Points Plus per serving
Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
Cook Time: About two hours

2. Put the olive oil into a Dutch oven. Add the onion, garlic, and pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally
3. Add the beef chunks and cook for about 8 minutes.
4. Stir in the lentils, broth, tomatoes, celery, carrot, parsnips, Ro*Tel, and spices.
5. Partially cover pot and bring to a boil.
6. Preheat oven to 300∘ F.
7. Cover pot, and put in the oven on a rack for approximately two hours, or until stoup is the thickness you desire. If it gets too thick, add a bit of water or broth.
8. Divide into one-cup portions and serve.
I bit the bullet and rejoined Weight Watchers this morning. Chose a three-month, online-only plan that gives me access to a coach at all times. I had a discussion with one of the coaches today – a lady named Janet, and we spoke about how I was feeling. I'm not sure how it will work out, but the pain of being out of shape and obese is, perhaps, finally stronger than the pain of doing the program again.
I finished an interesting book today: Fuschia Dunlop's Shark's Fin And Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China. She covers how she ended up becoming a certified Sichuan chef and a food writer specializing in the cuisines of China. IF you are interested in a look at the foods of China – in a context of life in China – I recommend it.
Anyway, that's it for now.
Trying to Get Back on My Feet
Posted February 22, 2015on:
- In: Back issues | Health | Recipes | taking my life back
- 2 Comments
I finally got to do a little cooking last night. Made two recipes from The Kitchn: Chicken Ragù with Bacon and Fennel and Cauliflower Couscous.
**Chicken Ragù with Bacon and Fennel**
6 ounces thick bacon, about 3 strips, diced
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Cook the bacon over low heat in a Dutch oven or heavy pot for 5 to 10 minutes, until the fat has rendered out and the bacon is getting crispy. Stir in the onion, garlic, and fennel until coated with the bacon fat, and cook over low to medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until soft and glistening.
Push the vegetables to the edge of the pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Sear the chicken thigh pieces in the center of the pot for about 3 minutes, turning frequently. The goal is not to develop a dark sear or crust on the chicken, but just to start the cooking.
Stir in the flour. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and cook for 1 hour or until the chicken is very tender. Vigorously work through the pot with two forks to shred the meat fine.
Taste before serving and add salt or other seasonings if needed. Serve with gnocchi, as seen here, or pasta, brown rice, or roasted vegetables.
Leftovers keep up to 4 days in the refrigerator and they also freeze extremely well.
**Recipe Notes**
On Seasoning: I do not add any salt to this dish until the end of cooking, as bacon can be quite salty enough.
Fennel Tops: If your fennel bulb comes with its stalks and fronds, trim away the fronds and reserve for garnishing the dish. The stalks can be diced and added to the pot with the bulb.
Makes 6 servings (about 1 cup each)
1 head cauliflower, any size
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, optional
Salt, optional
**What You Need**
Chef's knife
Food processor or box grater
Skillet with lid, optional
Cut the cauliflower into large pieces: Cut the head of cauliflower into quarters, then trim out the inner core from each quarter. Break apart the cauliflower into large florets with your hands. If the core is tender, you can chip it into pieces and add it with the florets.
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor: Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Don't fill the food processor more than 3/4 full; if necessary, process in two batches.
Pulse the cauliflower until completely broken down: Process the cauliflower in 1-second pulses until it has completely broken down into couscous-sized granules. (Alternatively, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater.)
Pull out any unprocessed pieces: Some florets or large pieces of cauliflower might remain intact. Pull these out and set them aside. Transfer the cauliflower couscous to another container and re-process any large pieces.
Serving raw cauliflower couscous: Cauliflower couscous can be used raw, tossed like grains into a salad or in a cold side dish.
Cooking cauliflower couscous: Cooking makes the cauliflower more tender and rice-like. Warm a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the couscous and sprinkle with a little salt. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the couscous is as tender as you like. Use or serve immediately, or refrigerate the couscous for up to a week.
**Recipe Notes**
Freezing raw cauliflower couscous: The couscous can also be sealed in airtight containers or bags and frozen for up to three months. Thaw on the counter for a few minutes before using or cooking.
Both were very tasty, although the roomie preferred hers without the sprinkling of fennel fronds on top and had hers over rice.
The bad news is that I had a fair amount of trouble standing for longer than about five minutes at a stretch. My lower back was not happy with me at all. The damage at L5, S1 is enough to keep me in pain when I have to stand.
I'm in a quandary. I need to lose weight. I am now over 300 lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever been, and I feel it. I know Weight Watchers works, but the idea of counting every bite is just more than I can deal with right now. I know Atkins works, but I don't like the idea of cutting out whole food groups — even for short periods of time. I need to figure out how to eat for where my body is now. I know I want to get back to being more flexitarian. I know I need to lose some weight to begin to do exercise. I want to get either a treadmill or an elliptical so that the weather is not a stop for me in terms of being able to exercise. (I have spoken to two cousins about this — one a pediatric gastroenterologist and one a sports medicine specialist, as well as my cardiologist).
I know that if I wanted to jump through hoops for a year, Medicaid would approve bariatric surgery, but I really don't want to go that route.
I will get this figured out. It may take time, but I will. I didn't go through an incredibly risky surgery just to end up vegetating.
In good news, I used some of a small windfall to get something I have wanted for about ten years: a Le Creuset 5.5 quart French Oven. I got very lucky one day and found it for sale on Zulilly for about 2/3 of the retail price and ordered immediately. Last night's ragù was its initial use, and I was quite pleased with it. My next use will be a lentil and beef stew, which I will probably try tomorrow since my back is not up to standing today.
One other thing I've done is to decide that I need to get back to blogging more regularly. Don't get me wrong, I like providing web content – at least most of the time. but I really miss blogging about the things I like, and I need to not let the web content writing take me away from the writing that keeps me sustained.
So that's what's happening over here in Brooklyn.
It's been a while but I'm still here. I mostly haven't written because I figured no one needed to hear me whine while I tried to sort out what was left of my life after the surgery. It hasn't been an easy road. I tried the cardiac rehab and it was working until the therapist decided that fact shaming me was more important than listening. I was able to do the cardio work just fine but she refused to acknowledge that the problems I was having on the treadmill were due to my sciatica. I tried arguing with her for about a month, but eventually it got more upsetting and aggravating to go then to not go. Unfortunately, all that really happened from it was that I ended up having to fight depression on top of everything else. It also meant I lost ground on the walking progress as my sciatica was just getting worse and worse. It also meant that I lost ground on my freelancing, because I was spending a lot of time sleeping because I was so depressed.
Anyway, that being said, it's time to get over myself and get my tuchis back in gear. Last week, for the first time, I was able to turn in a reasonable amount of work on all my projects. I was also able to get a little of the organizational stuff I really needed to do accomplished. I'm still having trouble standing and walking, but once it gets warmer I intend to remedy that.
Right now my brain is not up to knitting so I picked up a couple of cross stitch projects to work on. I'm just waiting for the thread and some embroidery hoops to arrive.
In other news, the roomie's friend, Pat, passed away in October. As a result, we now have two more cats. While they are very nice cats, we really didn't need to more cat. On the other hand, I now have a cat that actually likes me. Archie is a 19-pound, orange, diabetic Maine Coon mix with the personality of an adorable puppy. He likes nothing better than to lying on my bed and get skritched. He gets along with the other three cats nicely. Annie, known as "The Vonce," is another story. While she and Archie get along, she and Fat Louie tolerate each other, and she and Kitt do not get along at all.
I finally was able to get my Disability approved, so I am now getting enough money to live on. I've paid back a portion of my student loans, and have given a couple of folks I owed money to the money. I am grateful my friends were there to help me out, and more than grateful that I was able to make a dent in what I owe.
Thanks to an old friend, Moshe Feder, I found an interesting app for my tablet. it's called "Waterlogue" and it lets you turn your photographs into watercolors. This is a self-portrait I made the other day. I quite like the program, and expect to have a lot of fun with it. I've done a couple of pics of the cats with it, too, but they can get posted some other time. I've also been playing with an app called "Paper," which lets you draw in a "notebook" on your tablet with various "brushes," as well as a stylus that you can purchase separately. I'm not real good at that yet, but hopefully 2015 will bring me lots of opportunities to get better at it.
One thing I really missed this year was making Christmas dinner for my friends who don't have where to go. I was not up for cooking, though, and I was not gonna ask the roomie to do it all, so this year it had to fall by the wayside. Hopefully, this will be the only year that I have to drop that little ritual.
So. I'm hoping to get back to posting three days a week again in 2015. I'm also hoping to get back to getting rid of all the weight I gained while being ill. I know myself well enough to know I can't force myself to get back to doing the right things. I am hoping that the way I've felt this week means I am pulling out of the depression, so I can start making progress because, frankly, I want my life back.

Another great place to add to our list of fluorescent-free dining place in and around New York: John's Pizza of Times Square, 260 West 44th Street. I'll let Abby's LJ entry explain it:
"Table for eleven at a theatre district pizzeria:
It started to rain as I got to John's Pizza, 260 West 44th St., just a block from Times Sq. The northernmost entrance to the A train station was just at the corner. Definitely qualifies for New York, Fluorescent Free. It used to be a church. New York murals on the walls and a lovely stained glass cupola upstairs that looks amazingly like pizza slices. Special Guest Star was Robert Osband (Ozzie) up from Florida on a special mission. Two pizzas (one meat, one veggie) were ordered and a dozen conversations barely heard; ham radio, Revolutionary War re-enactors and personal distance walking records across NYC. Having dinner on Thursday night again harkens back to the old days of NYUSFS."
Back to me: We were at the double table under the stairs. The food is excellent. I had some of the soup (lentil with bacon), the spinach salad, a slice of the meat pizza, and a delicious dessert called a coppa mascarpone. Sue the Librarian had the spaghetti Bolognese and said it was delicious. Cindy devoured her chicken marsala. Desserts were tasted by several people – in addition to mine, Sue had the chocolate souffle with gelato, Nina had the pyramid (chocolate mousse), Fred C had the cheesecake. Nancy had the tiramisu. Sue had regular coffee, Nancy and I went for cappuccino (it was delicious). The lighting was acceptable to our resident photomyoclonic disorder sufferer. Even better, they were able to easily accommodate eleven people without a reservation (you need to make a reservation for 15 or more people). The pizza was reasonably priced: the meat pizza came to $3.57/slice and the veggie pizza was $3.25/slice. The wait staff was very helpful, bringing extra plates, bowls and spoons so that the salads, soups, and dessert could be shared. The one downside is that they only do pies – no slices – so go with a few friends or be prepared to take home a lot of pizza.
NOTE: I received this product as part of a product test.
As most of you know, I've been in cardiac rehab for most of the summer. This product is designed to help people with their workouts, so I figured I would see if it had an effect on mine.
Branch chain amino acids are essential in building protein in muscles. The contents of this particular formulation of branched-chain amino acids includes L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine,and L-Valine. What makes it different from many other formulations though is what it doesn't have. Completely vegetarian, it excludes additives, artificial ingredients, binders, eggs, excipients, fillers, gluten, preservatives, soy, starch, sugar, or wheat. The serving is two capsules, and the recommended times to take this supplement is either 45 minutes before a workout, immediately after a workout, or between meals. According to the packaging, they can also be taken any time the body needs an extra fuel boost.
So, did I find it had an effect? Yes, I did. I had better recovery times from my sessions, and even seemed to have more energy going about my day – although I am still nowhere near where my brain says I should be, but I know that recovery from open heart surgery is not just a six-month quick thing. Still, I am making progress, and I honestly can say that I feel this product has made a positive difference in that progress over the last month. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

38 year old woman | Central City, KY, USA | Seeking men 34-42 within 100 miles
Looking for someone/something amazing
What I can describe about me: I am easy going, and have a fun personality (goofy at times)! I am secure in myself, independent, ambitious, have a good career, my own house; good friends and great family! Much of who I am today is the result of two loving parents who nurtured a wonderful household for my sisters and me. They taught us to be kind, honest, and caring individuals. Morals, manners, and respect were always the expectation. I am grateful for the life I am blessed with. Friends and family would say I'm somewhat low maintenance; however you can find heels next to my sandals :) I am just missing the great guy....Where are you by the way? I would like to meet someone that is like minded, but I am not looking for a book-end. It would be nice to venture out and learn new things from each other. I hope to find my best friend, someone that I don't want to live without, and a serious relationship with honesty, dedication, and devotion, which can/will develop over time. I am not looking to hook-up, or interested in games; this life is too short! So if you have actually read this far, something intrigues you, and want to know more, then I look forward to hearing from you. Best of luck in your search!

I'm looking for a friend first of all that can become my best friend and the love of my life. Someone I can share everything with.
I'm Honest, loyal and expect the same in return the one I'm with, I'm affectionate and romantic not afraid to show affection to the woman I'm in a relationship with. When I'm in a relationship I'm 110% committed and dedicated to that woman, I believe in being respectful and treating my partner always with love and kindness, also talking through our differences and good communications about what our needs are. If you can't be any of these things please do not contact me. I know all of this sounds a little old school but I believe in respect and loyalty to my partner and would like the same in return. I enjoy spending time family and friends, I have a big heart and give all of me to the woman I'm in a relationship with. I believe in commitment and enjoy just one on one time with my partner just making dinner or watching a movie at home. I like to laugh and can laugh at myself as wellBuy the way all my pictures are from with the last three months.. If you don't have any pictures i will not respond to you, sorry! but i think it's only fair.

Area 51 secrets revealed
June 13, 2011 by Michael Larson
Located inside the Nevada Test and Training Range, the flat-dry lake bed known as Groom Lake has been the home to some of the nation's most advanced espionage and weapons technology, hair-raising tales of Cold War brinksmanship, and possibly much worse, according to a new book about the top-secret military base.
In these three videos, CNET's Molly Wood reports on author Annie Jacobsen's book, "Area 51," which chronicles what happened on the top secret military base during the Cold War.
Secrets of Area 51: The road to Area 51
Secrets of Area 51: The history and technology of Area 51

Kansas City, Missouri has many nicknames: "City of Fountains" (with over 200 fountains, second most in the world behind Rome), "Heart of America" (located near both the population center of the U.S. and the geographic center of the 48 contiguous states), and "Paris of the Plains" (more boulevards than any other city except Paris), to name but a few.
Kansas City played an important role in the development of jazz, hosting such musicians as Count Basie, Lester Young, and Charlie Parker.

1997 GMC Suburban 2500 Q&A
1997 GMC Suburban 2500 Question: running temperature
I would like to know what the normal running temperature is for this engine because I just bought this suburban from a unscrupulous private owner anyhow, it runs at 220 degrees and I'm sure this is too hot. There is no visible leak for the water just I'm thinking this is either a head gaskit or cracked head but there's no oil in the radiator and no water in the oil???? can anyone help me? - ggmart71
Answer 1
This vehicle generally runs between 190 and 200 degrees. The problem could be a cooling system that is not working properly or a thermostat that is no longer working in the proper range. It could also be as simple as a gauge that is not reading right. If you have any more questions feel free to check our web site www.leoandson.com - leoandson

Honey malt is pretty strong stuff, you could replace the 2 row with .5 to 1 pound of the honey

Jayne was a well informed and detailed trainer and nothing was too much trouble for her to assist with. She is knowledgeable, calm and efficient and we would thoroughly recommend training through Advantage Services. We have experienced Sage Training in the past but this was infinitely better and flexible enough to meet personal and business needs. Excellent day and well worth the investment. HR Director

Thanks you for your lovely comments about Jayne, I'll be sure to pass them on to here. Wonderful to hear your training went so well.

Whey protein contains a wide range of essential amino acids which are absorbed quickly. Some amino acids are produced by the body's cells while others are received through food intake. The ones that we must get through foods are termed "essential" amino acids.
For a very high content of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), whey concentrates or blends tend to be the best option. It is less expensive and retains most of the beneficial nutrients found naturally in whey.
Taking whey protein is an easy and convenient way to add 25-50 grams of top quality protein to your daily intake. This can be important to gym goers, bodybuilders and anyone who needs to lose weight. Plus, taking a whey protein supplement can also help the boost your protein & BCAA intake.
For the 25-40 year old person with a moderately active lifestyle, a recommended dosage of whey protein is 1-2 scoops (around 25 to 50 grams) per day. Dosages can vary based on age and activity levels.

I steamed the green beans until they were tender. I don't like them crisp. I used grainy dijon mustard. This is very tasty. Thanks Cooking with love :) Made for Healthy tag game

It amends state law, creating a presumption that any person performing commercial goods transportation services for a commercial goods transportation contractor shall be classified as an employee, unless the individual satisfies the stringent independent contractor or separate business entity tests set forth in the new law, according to JD Supra Business Advisor.
The law takes effect on March 11 after being passed last summer.
Orginally, the bill called for it apply to truckers who drive rigs weighing more than 26,000 pounds, but in signing it Cuomo reportedly dropped to level to those who drive trucks weighting more than 10,000 pounds.
The final legislation received the support of the New York State Motor Truck Association who said it does not endanger using the owner-operator business model that some trucking companies use. The new law also has the support of the Teamsters Union.
Passage followed a study that found in New York State, nearly 40,000 employers misclassified more than 700,000 workers, with misclassification disproportionately higher in the trucking industry.

2001 Ram 1500 4x4 grinding not fully engaging?
I am new to the forums and was wondering if anyone else is having this problem: I have a 2001 1500 4x4 and every time I put the transfer case into 4x4 it grinds. It will still go into 4wd but its grinding and it can be heard inside the truck very clearly. I thought it might not be engaging properly? I havent taken the vacuum actuator off yet. The front differential has the proper gear lube in it and right amount. I bought the truck from a guy in december and he said the truck ran fine it was having some vacuum problems though. Thats why i am thinking vacuum. If anyone has had this problem and can help, please let me know. Thanks
posi lok makes a manually engaged acuator, but check transfer case fluid, depending on where the noise is from? is it grinding in the transfer case or axle? im not trying to make you sound stupid, but make sure you arent accidently going in betweeen 4 hi and 4 low? or 4 hi and Neutral depending on your shifing lever, if you have one

He admits he's own life is an example how great and free Israel is. This is driving him nuts. Like this telling quote: "I wonder if in 60 or 100 years the occupation is gone, how I will redefine my struggles and my identities." Clearly he is ashamed of his Arab culture so he blames the Jews for Arab behavior.

When shall we hear the protestors mounting a verbal campaign against the Syrians for murdering their own "brothers and sisters?"
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
The United Nations special tribunal investigating the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri will indict five Hezbollah members for the 2005 killing, the Asharq Alawsat newspaper reported on Monday.
According to the report, the special tribunal will ask the Lebanese government to allow it to personally interrogate the five suspects. The request will be made in the coming days.
The names of the suspects are being kept confidential at this time, the report said.
Lebanese officials did not respond to the report.
Lebanese Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi said that he had no information on the matter and a spokesperson for the special tribunal also did not comment.
The Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Monday that the Lebanese court system will receive the indictment from the special tribunal on Monday or Tuesday. The report, based on French sources, did not give details on who would be indicted.
Meanwhile, a Lebanese parliament member from the Hariri faction said on Monday that all reports were media reports and that no official message had been received.
At the start of May, the UN special tribunal's prosecutor Daniel Bellemare amended his indictment to include "substantive new elements unavailable until recently."

Montessori is a unique approach to child development and early learning, and Renaissance is a unique community within the Montessori tradition.
Under Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) directories and guidance, we offer a carefully prepared environment and curriculum with which we help each child to realize his or her many individual potentialities (intellectual, social, moral, artistic), and in so doing create a joy of learning.
When one experiences joy in the learning process, one becomes a lifelong seeker of knowledge.
In working to develop the innate abilities of each child, we seek to allow the child to pursue a productive course of life, showing his or her natural excellence in the intellectual, social, and moral spheres.
In nurturing the growth and development of each child, we strive to develop parental understanding of Montessori principles, parental involvement, an excellent faculty, and an atmosphere of courtesy and respect for individuals, both child and adult.
