A telephone is disclosed which includes a transducer and a controller. The transducer produces a sound having a level which varies as a function of the frequency and duty cycle of an excitation signal. The controller provides the excitation signal which has different frequencies, such as a coded melody. The controller varies the duty cycle so that the level of the sound from the transducer remains constant at the different frequencies. The telephone also includes a memory for storing values of the duty cycle corresponding to the different frequencies. These values allow the level of the sound to remain constant at the different frequencies. The controller codes the melody by storing in a table of the memory components of the melody, such as notes, silences, repetitions, the duration of each note or each silence, and a repetition number for melody components which are to be repeated. A time limit is also included in the table when the repetition number is infinite.
1. A telephone comprising:
a transducer which produces a sound having a level which is a function of frequency and duty cycle of an excitation signal;
a controller for providing said excitation signal having different frequencies, wherein said controller varies the duty cycle so that the level of said sound remains constant at said different frequencies; and
a memory for storing values of the duty cycle corresponding to said different frequencies, said values allowing the level of said sound to remain constant at said different frequencies.
2. The telephone of claim 1, wherein said controller codes a melody for producing said sound as said melody.
3. The telephone of claim 1, wherein said controller codes a melody by storing at least one of components of said melody in a table of said memory, said components including notes, silences and repetitions.
4. The telephone of claim 3, wherein said table includes for each of said notes and for each of said silences a duration of said each note or said each silence.
5. The telephone of claim 3, wherein said table includes for each of said repetitions a repetition number for said each repetition and elements to be repeated.
6. The telephone of claim 5, wherein said table further includes for said each repetition a time limit when said repetition number is infinite.
7. The telephone of claim 1, wherein said controller stores a coded melody in a table of said memory and reads said coded melody by sequentially passing through said table from a start of said melody, and effecting returns to play repetitions included in said coded melody.
8. A method of coding a melody having different frequencies in a telephone including the steps of:
producing said melody using a transducer which changes a level of said melody as a function of frequency and duty cycle of said melody;
varying the duty cycle so that the level of said melody remains constant at said different frequencies; and
storing notes of said different frequencies and duty cycle values corresponding to said notes, said duty cycle values being chosen to provide said constant level of said melody at said different frequencies.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising sequentially reading said notes and said duty cycle values for playing said melody.
10. The method of claim 8, further comprising storing silences, repetitions, duration of each of said notes and each of said silences, a repetition number for each of said repetitions, and a time limit when said repetition number is infinite.
11. The method of claim 8, further comprising storing data relating to elements of said melody which are to be repeated.
The present invention relates to a telephone including a controllable electromagnetic transducer which produces a variable sound level as a function of frequency, a method which permits of playing melodies on such a telephone, and a method of coding such melodies.
Telephones and notably mobile telephones require ringing tones which can be heard in a noisy environment. Moreover, these telephones are subjected to demanding constraints as regards to bulkiness (weight, volume) and supply voltage. To comply with all these constraints, one is led to use electromagnetic transducers (or buzzers) in such telephones, which transducers are provided for generating one-tone ringing sounds (or beeps) of a high sound level. By way of example, the frequency response of such an electromechanic transducer is shown in FIG. 2. This frequency response is very irregular, but a sound level of about 95 dB is obtained for a frequency of 2.703 kHz.
For improving the ease of use of de telephones, various musical melodies are proposed to the user so as to replace these conventional ringing sounds. For this purpose, U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,153 proposes the use of a musical apparatus which is connected to the telephone to play various musical melodies.
It is a first object of the present invention to manage to play melodies composed of a large variety of notes with the electromechanical transducers described in the preceding paragraphs which are currently included in telephones.
Therefore, a telephone according to the invention and as defined in the opening paragraph is characterized in that it comprises adapting means for adapting the frequency response of said transducer to obtain a constant sound level whatever the frequency under consideration.
The invention is notably applicable to the meld of mobile telephones.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, said adapting means notably consist of causing the duty cycle of the excitation signal of said electromechanical transducer to vary.
And the telephone thus advantageously comprises storage means for storing for each frequency at least one value of the duty cycle of said excitation signal to obtain at least a given sound level on the output of the transducer.
It is another object of the present invention to propose an effective method of coding such a melody.
Therefore, a telephone as defined in the preceding paragraphs is characterized in that it comprises:
coding means for coding a melody, consisting of storing one or various component elements of said melody in a Table: notes, silences and, as appropriate, repetitions,
reading means for reading a coded melody, consisting of sequentially passing through said Table from the start of said melody, and, as appropriate, effecting returns to play said repetitions.
Such a melody coding method may be implemented independently of the method described previously of playing melodies with the electromechanical transducers which are currently included in the commercial telephones.
In an advantageous embodiment, said Table contains for each repetition:
a number of repetitions,
an indication relating to the elements to be repeated,
a time limit, as appropriate, when said repetition number is infinite.
These and other aspects of the invention are apparent from and will be elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 represents an example of a telephone according to the invention,
FIG. 2 gives an example of frequency response for the electromechanical transducers as described previously,
FIG. 3 represents the effect of the variation of the duty cycle of the excitation signal on the sound level produced by the transducer,
FIG. 4 represents an example of a melody, and
FIG. 5 gives an example of an operational flow chart of a method according to the invention which permits of playing melodies.
In FIG. 1 is shown a telephone according to the invention. Such a telephone notably comprises an antenna 1, a loudspeaker/receiver 2, a display 3, a keypad 4, a microphone 5, an electromechanical transducer 6 which is connected to an output 7 of a microprocessor assembly 8.
In the embodiment which will now be described, the microprocessor assembly 8 is a microprocessor 91CL301 manufactured by PHILIPS (formed on the basis of an 68000 by Motorola). And the electromechanical transducer is an SBT 0905 RP transducer manufactured by SAMBU.
The electomechanical transducer 6 is formed by a coil mounted around an air gap. A metallic membrane is positioned above the electromagnet formed in this manner. An excitation signal I (current) applied to the transducer causes the magnetic field to vary near to the membrane, thus causing it to oscillate at the frequency of said signal. The use of square-wave excitation signals makes it possible to obtain a maximum variation of the magnetic field. In FIG. 1 is shown the excitation signal I. Its duty cycle R is equal to A/A+B where A is the duration of the ascending edge and B that of the descending edge. The generation of these square-wave signals is ensured by the microprocessor assembly 8.
In FIG. 2 is shown the sound level of the output of the transducer (expressed in decibels) plotted ant the frequency of the excitation signal of the transducer when operating freely, (that is, without a housing) in normal operating conditions (notably when the duty cycle of the excitation signal is 50%). For frequencies lying between 500 Hz and 10 kHz, the output sound level varies from 50 dB to 95 dB. Such transducers thus do not permit of playing melodies composed of a plurality of notes having different frequencies.
The invention consists of adapting the response of the transducer as a function of the frequency when one seeks to play with a constant sound level.
The invention is notably based on the following observation: when the duty cycle of the excitation signal I varies between 1% and 8%, the sound level obtained on the output of the transducer proportionally varies with the duty cycle, whatever the frequency under consideration. In FIG. 3 is shown the effect of the variation of the duty cycle of the excitation signal I on the sound level produced by the transducer. It is noted that three zones arise:
a first zone (R lying between 1% and 8%), in which the duty cycle and the sound level are proportional whatever the frequency,
a second zone (R lying between 8% and 20%) which is too chaotic to use,
a third zone (R higher than 20%) in which the variation of the duty cycle no longer has any influence.
The invention thus consists of associating to each frequency a value of the duty cycle of the excitation signal of the transducer lying between 1% and 8% to obtain a given sound level.
The microprocessor assembly 8 ensures the generation of excitation signals which have variable frequencies and duty cycles. The frequencies which may be generated depend on the clock (FCLK) which controls the microprocessor: thus only a certain number of discrete values can be obeyed and not a continuous variation of the frequency. Among the available frequencies a range is selected which permit of playing pieces of music. The level of this range has been chosen for obtaining a satisfactory ease of listening and the frequencies which exert near enough to the musical notes have been retained within this range.
The PHILIPS 91CL301 microprocessor makes it possible to generate the following frequencies Fi :Fi =FCLK /225/(1+x) with FCLK =19.5 MHz and x=0, . . . , 255.
The range 444 Hz→1062 Hz! has been selected for use, the higher ranges not being well adapted from a psycho-acoustic point of view (they are irritating to the user). And in this range, the following frequencies are retained:
TABLE T1______________________________________x frequency note (musical frequency) reference______________________________________143 531 Hz do (523 Hz) →4131 579 Hz do# (554 Hz) →5127 597 Hz re (587 Hz) →6119 637 Hz mi (659 Hz) →7107 708 Hz fa (698, 5 Hz) →8103 735 Hz fa# (740 Hz) →995 796 Hz sol (784 Hz) →A83 910 Hz la (880 Hz) →B75 1006 Hz si (988 Hz) →C71 1062 Hz do (1046, 5 Hz) →D______________________________________
In the following of the description, each note is referenced by a hexadecimal digit (in the described example 4 to D in an order of rising frequencies). A Table T1 gives the reference/frequency correspondence for each note.
Table T2 will now be given which shows the correspondence between, on the one hand, the notes and the sound levels V1, V2 or V3 searched for, and, on the other hand, the duty cycle to be used.
TABLE T2______________________________________V1 (67 � 0.5 dB) V2 (70 � 0.5 dB) V3 (73 � 0.5 dB)______________________________________4 (do) 2.5% 3.66% 8%5 (do#) 3% 3.66% 5.33%6 (re) 2% 3% 4.5%7 (mi) 2.5% 3.66% 5%8 (fa) 3% 4% 6%9 (fa#) 3% 3.66% 5%A (sol) 2% 3.66% 5.33%B (la) 3.66% 5% 8%C (si) 2.5% 3.33% 5.33%D (do) 4% 5.33% 8%______________________________________
For optimizing the necessary memory space 9 for the coding, the melodies are stored in a third Table T3. For each melody this Table sequentially indicates the constituent elements of said melody:
the notes to be played (N) and their duration (D),
the silences (S) and their duration (D),
the repetitions (R), the number of repetitions (NbR) and the number of lines to be repeated (NbL).
In another embodiment of the present invention, certain of these elements are at least defined inside a window W which has a defined duration. When such a window has been defined, a time delay which corresponds to said duration starts before the elements contained in this window are played. And the contents of the window are played as long as this time delay has not expired.
By way of example, the contents of Table T3 will now be given for the melody M described in FIG. 4.
The melody M shown in FIG. 4 consists of infinitely repeating the following steps:
repeat three times: the note mi (256 ms) followed by a silence of 32 Ms,
maintain a silence for 288 ms,
repeat three times: the note mi (256 ms) followed by a silence of 32 Ms,
maintain a silence for 288 ms,
play the note mi (288 ms), the note sol (288 ms), the note do (duration 384 ms), the note re (96 ms) and the note mi (576 ns),
maintain a silence for 576 ms.
The contents of the Table T3 at the address of the melody M are thus the following:
TABLE T3______________________________________Melody M → N (mi) D = 256 ms S D = 32 ms R NbR = 2 NbL = 2 S D = 288 ms N (mi) D = 256 ms S D = 32 ms R NbR = 2 NbL = 2 S D = 288 ms N (mi) D = 256 ms N (sol) D = 288 ms N (do) D = 384 ms N (re) D = 96 ms N (mi) D = 576 ms S D = 576 ms R NbR = ∞ NbL = 14 F______________________________________
By way of example, Table T3 may be coded in a hexadecimal code in 4 digits. The first digit indicates that it is a silence (0), a note (4 at D), a repetition (E) or a window (1). For a note or a silence, the next three digits indicate the duration of the note or the silence. For a repetition, the next two digits indicate the number of repetitions and the last digit indicates the number of rows to be repeated in the Table.
All example of the coding of Table T3 for the melody M is given below:
______________________________________ begin 0x7100 0x0020 0xE022 0x0120 0x7100 0x0020 0xE022 0x0120 0x7120 0xA120 0x4180 0x6060 0x7240 0x0240 0xEFFE end______________________________________
The significance of the notion of the window will be understood: in the example which has just been described, the number of repetitions is either infinite (FF) or limited to 254. To obtain a finite number of repetitions higher than 254, a window W of a given duration is thus defined previous to the respective elements.
Similarly, the number of rows that can be repeated is limited to 15. To remedy this drawback, a concept of return to the start of the melody is defined.
Now an example of an operational flow chart of the processor 8 with respect to the invention will be described with the aid of FIG. 5.
To play the melody M with a sound level V, the processor 8 sequentially reads Table T3. Therefore, in box K1 an index i is initialized at the address adr(M) of the melody M in the Table T3. Then, in box K2, a test is made of the value of the first digit of the row i of the Table T3 (in FIG. 5 this digit is denoted d1). If this digit indicates a note N to be played, the operation is proceeded in box K3. If it indicates a silence S, it is proceeded in box K5, if it indicates a repetition R, box K7 is proceeded to and if it indicates a window, box K19 is proceeded to. Finally, if this field indicates that the melody has finished (F), the operation is terminated in box K20.
In box K3, the variables which indicate the characteristic features of the excitation signal I to be sent to the transducer 6 (frequency F, duration D, duty cycle R) are initialized. The frequency F is read from the Table T1 based on the reference of the note N to be played. The duration for which the signal is to be sent is directly read from the Table T3. And the value of its duty cycle is read from the Table T2 on the basis of the sought sound level V and the note N to be played. The excitation signal I (F, D, R) is sent to the transducer 6, then to box K4, the index i is incremented by unity and the operation is resumed at box K2.
The box K5 deals with the case of silences. The duration D during which the silence is to be respected is directly given by Table T3. An excitation signal I (F, D, R) having a zero frequency and zero duty cycle is sent to the transducer 6. Then, in box K6, the index i is incremented by unity and the operation is resumed at box K2.
Repetitions will be discussed with respect to box K7 to box K15. Thereto, a stack (denoted STACK) in which the characteristic features are stored (number of repetitions NbR and number of rows to be repeated NbL) of each newly found repetition. In box K7 there is verified whether his repetition is a new repetition or whether it is the last repetition stored in the stack, that is to say, the repetition which is being processed. If it is the repetition that is being processed, the operation is carried on in box K12. If it is a new repetition, the operation is proceeded in box K8.
In box K8 the characteristic features (NbR, NbL) of this new repetition are stored in the stack memory. Then, in box K9, if the variable NbR has a finite value, it is decremented by unity. In box K10 the index i is subtracted from the number NbL after which the operation is resumed in box K2.
In box K12 there is verified whether the variable NbR has a new finite value. In that case the operation is proceeded in box K13. If not, it is proceeded in box K16. In box K13 the variable NbR is decremented by unity and the number NbL is subtracted from the index i. Then, in box K14, a test is made whether NbR is equal to zero. In that case, the corresponding row in the stack memory (which is symbolized in box K15 by a decrementation of the current index j (STACK) of the stack memory STACK) by unity, before the operation is resumed at box K2. If not, the operation is directly resumed at box K2.
In box K16 there is verified whether one is inside a window of which the time delay (TEMP) has expired. In that case, (box K17) the row corresponding to the repetition in the stack memory is made free after which the index i is incremented before the operation is resumed at box K2. In the opposite case (box K18), the number NbL is subtracted from the index i before the operation is resumed at box K2.
In box K19 a time delay TEMP is launched. The index i is incremented by unity after which the operation is resumed at box K2.
Obviously, modifications may be made in the embodiment which has just been described by way of example, notably by substituting equivalent technical means without thereby leaving the scope of the present invention.

Scientist Asks: Is Autism Really on the Rise?
In a survey of the field of research on autism spectrum disorders (ASD), biologist Emily Willingham has concluded that rising rates of autism among children may be a question of new diagnostic techniques rather than an actual rise in the number of cases of ASD. For example, children who would have received a diagnosis of an intellectual disability in 1990 would today likely be diagnosed with ASD. From Boston.com:
That kind of change is called "diagnostic substitution," Willingham explains, and it accounts for a lot of the rise in autism diagnoses. And there's a lot of other, corroborating evidence, too. If autism were on the rise, you'd expect there to be more autistic children that autistic adults. Adults, though, don't tend to be screened for autism — and when you do screen them, you find that the prevalence of autism is about the same among adults as it is among kids (1%). That suggests that autism isn't on the rise. And that prevalence is the same all over the world, despite the fact that that the environmental factors which often take the blame for the rise in autism are unevenly distributed.

I read in the iPad mapkit is designed to use Mercator projection maps.
It is possible to use this interface with Lambert Conical Projection maps?
The Mercator style used is the same as Google Maps, Bing Maps etc. and is currently the only one supported by mapKit. Lambert Conical Projection is not supported.
If there is no way to get the images in a Mercator format (specifically the EPSG:3785 (3857 as of February) standard), you could try re-projecting the images on the fly. It's not too slow in my testing on a 3GS (Equirectangular to Mercator), but I'm losing some image quality (acceptable in my case).

When my tummy tells me it's time for Thai, I don't have to go far to find my favorite authentic Thai dishes. Tempe has so many great family-owned and operated restaurants that making a choice is the main challenge. You can be sure that the food is authentic, fresh and prepared from favorite family recipes. The menus offer a variety of dishes with and without meat. This means that vegetarians can enjoy a great meal with their meat lovin' friends and/or family members, and vice versa. You can also find plenty of gluten-free options. There may be similarities among these restaurants, but each one has its own unique take on Thai. They all deliver a rich blend of hot, sour, sweet, salty and smidge of bitter. Here are a few of my favorites, but this by no means is a complete list. If you have a favorite Thai place, please let us know so we can experience it too. Thai Basil ASU 111 S. Rural Rd., Tempe, Arizona 85281 (480) 557-0101 One of my favorite Thai Basil dishes is the tom-kah, or coconut soup. This heavenly concoction is made with coconut milk, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, roasted chili and mushrooms. As with most Thai dishes you have a choice of meat. The tom-kai is addicting. I could make a meal out of it alone. However, I also love Thai Basil's red curry and always order it as well. Besides, ordering both insures that I'll have leftovers to take […]Learn More

With all the changes happening lately in Tempe, it can be hard to keep up with all the news. We've seen a lot of restaurants that have opened recently, including Postino Annex, Snooze and Culinary Dropout at The Yard Tempe. Tempe Marketplace has also added new restaurants to their mix.

Founded in 2004, the folks at MAD Greens believe that "eating better can be a tasty, crazy fun, crazy interesting and crazy personal experience." They works with farms to make sure all the produce used to make their salads is as fresh as possible. But they're not just about salads. You can also find wraps, paninis, soups and fresh juice. We love the Siam I Am, a protein power salad that's made with quinoa, chicken, kale, green onions, spinach and a ginger dressing.

Gender Differences in Psychosocial Risk Factors among Slovenian Adolescents
Tomori, Martina, Zalar, Bojan, Plesnicar, Blanka Kores, Adolescence
This study investigated psychosocial risk factors in adolescents and assessed gender differences in the frequency of their occurrence. A specially designed questionnaire, which included validated scales for the evaluation of depression (Zung Self-rating Depression Scale) and self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), was administered to a representative sample of Slovenian adolescents. The final sample consisted of 4,590 high school students of both sexes aged 14 to 19 years. Data analysis revealed several significant gender differences. Girls more often than boys reported family conflict, personal problems, physical inactivity, attempts to control body weight, use of psychoactive drugs, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Their level of depression was higher and self-esteem lower when compared with their male counterparts. Boys more often than girls indicated that they watched a great deal of television, were the victims of peer violence, and drank alcohol.
Adolescence, more than any other developmental period, entails experimentation, exploration, and risk taking. The majority of adolescents engage, at one time or another, in one or more problematic behaviors (Conger & Galambos, 1997). Thus, behavioral experimentation is to a certain extent normative for adolescents. However, extended participation in risky behaviors may be predictive of more serious psychosocial problems (Jessor, 1992). Consequently, a sound understanding of the factors that increase the psychological vulnerability of adolescents is important for endeavors aimed at reducing the incidence of mental disorders in this age group.
Gender differences concerning various psychosocial risk factors have been reported for adolescents (frequently investigated risk factors include the following: dysfunctional family interactions; alcohol and substance abuse; unprotected sexual activity; unhealthy lifestyle, such as dysfunctional eating habits and lack of exercise; and truancy). The literature indicates that girls generally engage in problem behaviors less often than do boys and are likely to terminate such behaviors sooner (Ensminger, 1990; Petersen et al., 1993). However, studies indicate that girls experience depression with greater frequency, have lower self-esteem, and engage in more suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (Avison & McAlpine, 1992; Chartier & Lassen, 1994; DeWilde et al., 1993; Kienhorst et al., 1990; Overholser et al., 1995; Pope et al., 1994; Zhang & Jin, 1996). Eggert et al. (1994) noted that suicidal girls experience a greater frequency of depression and stressful events, while boys display more problems with anger and greater involvement in high-risk behaviors. Avison and McAlpine (1992) have linked the most frequent symptoms of depression among girls to their lower self-esteem and also--together with other factors--to differences between girls and boys in their relations with parents. Werner-Wilson (1998) has drawn attention to the greater significance of the family for girls in regard to their sexual behavior. Further, girls tend to have a more negative body image than do boys, and they are more often dissatisfied with their body weight, which is revealed in their eating behavior (Pingitore, Spring, & Garfield, 1997; Saewyc et al., 1998; Tomori & Rus-Makovec, 2000). In addition, Garcia et al. (1997) have stressed the significance of different exercise beliefs, which are linked to greater physical activity among boys than among girls. In general, the literature concurs with the findings of Ostrov, Offer, and Howard (1989), namely that adolescent girls are more prone to inwardly directed symptomatology, and adolescent boys are more prone to act out.
The aim of the present study was to establish the extent of diverse risk factors in a large sample of high school students, and to investigate possible gender differences. Further, it sought to contribute to greater intercultural knowledge. …

Makri, S; Blandford, A; (2012) Coming across information serendipitously: Part 2 - A classification framework. Journal of Documentation , 68 (5) 706 - 724. 10.1108/00220411211256049.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Purpose: In 'Coming across information serendipitously: Part 1 – A process model' we identified common elements of researchers' experiences of 'coming across information serendipitously.' These experiences involve a mix of unexpectedness and insight and lead to a valuable, unanticipated outcome. In this article, the elements of unexpectedness insight and value form a framework for subjectively classifying whether or not a particular experience might be considered serendipitous and, if so, just how serendipitous. Design/methodology/approach: The classification framework was constructed by analysing 46 experiences of coming across information serendipitously provided by 28 interdisciplinary researchers during Critical Incident interviews. 'Serendipity stories' were written to summarise each experience and to facilitate their comparison. The common elements of unexpectedness, insight and value were identified in almost all the experiences. Findings: The presence of different mixes of unexpectedness, insight and value in the interviewees' experiences define a multi-dimensional conceptual space (which we call the 'serendipity space'). In this space, different 'strengths' of serendipity exist. Our classification framework can be used to reason about whether an experience falls within the serendipity space and, if so, how 'pure' or 'dilute' it is. Originality/value: Our framework provides researchers from various disciplines with a structured means of reasoning about and classifying potentially serendipitous experiences.

Basic Creme Caramel
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Vanilla essence
|2 Teaspoon
|Castor sugar
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs) (Extra)
|1 3⁄4 Cup (28 tbs)
|Thick cream
|300 Milliliter
Combine sugar and water in medium heavy-based saucepan, stir constantly with wooden spoon over medium heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved.
Use pastry brush dipped in water to brush any sugar crystals down from side of pan before mixture boils.
Bring sugar mixture to boil, boil rapidly, uncovered, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until mixture turns light golden brown.
Pour caramel into deep 20cm round cake pan (it doesn't need greasing); hold pan with cloth.
Quickly tilt pan to coat base evenly.
There is no need to spread the caramel up side of pan.
It is correct the caramel sets at this stage.
Lightly whisk eggs, essence and extra sugar together in bowl.
Do not over-beat or custard will be too aerated.
Combine milk and cream in saucepan, bring to boil, allow bubbles to subside from edge of pan.
Gradually whisk milk mixture into egg mixture; strain into cake pan over caramel.
Place cake pan in baking dish with enough boiling water to come halfway up side of pan.
Bake in moderately slow oven for about 40 minutes or until custard is just set; it will set more on cooling.
Remove from water, stand several hours to cool to room temperature.
Cover pan, refrigerate overnight.
This method will ensure the caramel will coat the custard when it is turned out.
Use your fingers to pull the top of the custard from around the side of pan.
It shouldn't stick to pan, but, if you're in doubt, run around the edge of the custard carefully with a knife or spatula.
Invert custard onto serving dish, serve with whipped cream.

Payday 2 promises to merge the frantic pace of tactical first person gunplay with old school cops and robbers. You even carry around duffle bags stuffed with dollar bills and drive around in unmarked vans. Overkill Software really lived up to their name here. This is a crime simulator of note. Payday 2 takes what the first game did and moves further into an online space with more focus on co-operative play, which is rightfully where the series needed to be. Does it deliver the goods? Is it worth your hard earned cash or will it rob you blind?
This game is a typical first person shooter with some interesting twists thrown in. You'll be shooting and breaking things to get the job done. Teams can consist of up to four men, each with different skill sets: The Enforcer, Mastermind, Technician and the Ghost. Any combination of these classes can be used and you can level yourself up into any one of these disciplines. Technicians are strong with equipment and items. They'll assist you in setting up turrets and explosives. Enforcers provide your muscle support by lifting heavy items and providing extra ammunition.
The tendency of drawing out shooting sequences changes as more advanced equipment is acquired. Jobs get more interesting such as one particular heist where a thermite drill was used to break into a bank vault while your up skilled Mastermind teammate kept civilians intimidated as the job became more tense. Despite having more control options over your situation, Payday 2 can turn a situation around on you in the blink of an eye. In one mission everything was going smooth until a rogue civilian activated a jewellery's store's silent alarm. A small army arrived in a short time and the job became that much tougher. The need for cover in this game is an absolute necessity for survival. It's just a pity that the is so little of it at the beginning of the game.
The game uses CRIME.NET, a network offering you jobs posted both offline and online. You're going to want to be online with friends to really appreciate the co-operative nature of the game. This is mainly because of the dim A.I. that doesn't seem to respond to your orders the way need them to. They also have a pesky habit of dying and getting caught by the cops too often, making your missions with them more difficult missions much harder. The NPC characters also have a tendency of getting stuck in places they shouldn't.
Payday 2 has a surprisingly deep skills development system that doesn't look much more different to the skilltrees in role-playing games. Once you've chosen your class there are 6 tiers to progress into. Reaching Tier 6 takes time, and you're going to have to complete every optional objective on your missions to quickly get there.
I'd love to see greater environmental destruction. As things are, the levels around you take quite a beating and you can see it in shattered glass and battered items such as gym equipment and car windows. It's just that I feel that when you have an all out gun fight of the likes you see in Payday 2, having a greater visual indicator of the chaos around you like bits of concrete being torn off walls does add to immersion. There are times when textures lack "roughness" and flaws that make environments feel more real.
Guns fire off loudly and proudly here. There is no shortage of cinema in this area. Whether SWAT grunts are screaming away around you, or glass is trickling to floors Payday 2 makes you at least feal aurally involved in the experience. The only snags I encountered were in the stereotyped voices used for each criminal character. The slimy british safe cracker sounded perfectly at home in the frenetic world of the game but felt shallow in the face of the sharp sounds of brass ejecting and boots rushing around you.
Payday 2 is fun if you only play it online. Play it offline and you'll be bored before long. I'm assured by some fans of the series that this second instalment is far superior to the previous game and if you're a fan there's much to love here. Just remember to find friends willing to play with you, otherwise consider docking that pay of yours for something more single player friendly.

The channel will be replaced with a BBC1 +1 service and an extra hour of children's programmes and some of its existing shows will be shown on BBC1 and BBC2.
Tens of thousands of viewers have signed a petition opposing the move, which has been criticised by unions, but Lord Hall said it was "the right thing to do".
In an email to staff, he said the licence fee had been frozen while the demands on it increased.
He said: "This is the first time in the BBC's history that we are proposing to close a television channel. I can't rule out it being the last change to our programmes or services."
The plans are subject to approval by the BBC Trust. Some £30 million of the savings are earmarked to go towards drama on BBC1.
BBC director of television Danny Cohen, a former controller of BBC3, said the move was "the biggest strategic decision the BBC has made in over a decade".
Gerry Morrissey, leader of the technicians' union Bectu, expressed concern about the impact on jobs.
"We are disappointed that the BBC has made this decision with very little consideration for its employees."

In the closet gay celebs! Who are they? (Part 2)

My younger brother is gay and he is the brother I am closest to but also a very good friend. We are very close and I stay with him every week when I go to London to work. If anything (though I'm not too sure why) he is rather homophobic. I also have several gay friends. I first became more relaxed about gays (people of my age - I'm 63 - grew up when being gay or lesbian wasn't half as accepted as now, if at all, and in the early days it was still snigger, snigger, snigger) when I matured a little and was at times very lonely. It occurred to me that it could be quite tough being lonely and gay and that everyone, gay or straight, deserved the closeness and companionship which love brings.
But here is what I am saying: the idea of having sex with another guy really, really turns me off. And I know that the idea of having sex with another woman turns many women off. Yet in the modern climate of I really have to be careful of saying because I could be found guilty of homophobia. And that isn't quite right either.
Why shouldn't I be able to pronounce, if relevant, that I find gay sex repellent? But I can't if I know what's good for me. In the modern world I am best advised to keep my mouth shut. So there are many sides to this issue.
There aren't really. It boils down to this.
It's fine for people to be gay.
It's fine for them to have gay sex.
It's unproductive to label gay sex 'repellant', especially since you say you're okay with gay people.
You can be okay with gay people without finding gay sex appealing. If you found it appealing, then you'd be gay.
That's why many straight people are okay with gay people, yet attracted to the opposite sex.
It's not complicated at all. Just don't go around saying that things are 'repellent' because that can easily be misconstrued as you hating gay people. The reason people probably KICK OFF with you when you say that is because it comes off as homophobic - OBVIOUSLY you don't find gay sex appealing because you're straight, everyone knows that so there's no point spelling it out. When you DO spell it out, it therefore looks like homophobia, because it gets a response of 'Well yeah, of course you don't like gay sex - you're straight - so why mention it other than to try and criticise gay people in some way?'.

Chile - Cayenne
A wide variety of seafood is both extraordinarily popular and available in South Africa. This spicy starter features crayfish steamed in wine, vinegar herbs, which is then reduced to form the base of a hot butter sauce. Please note: To preserve the succulent flavor, the crayfish must be freshly steamed and should not be refrigerated between steaming and serving. The sauce, too, should be freshly makde and spooned over the crayfish while it is still warm.
This dish is wrapped in banana leaves, which give it a subtle, earthy flavor. Serve the dish with plain corn tamales, fresh corn tortillas or rice. It takes a bit of effort, but it produces enough for a party, so make this dish for a special occasion.
These interesting corn cakes from Ghana can be eaten hot or cold, alone, or with roasted peanuts for a snack or appetizer.
Richard Sterling developed this recipe, which is his version of how the Spaniards transformed Montezuma's favorite beverage, with the addition of alcohol. He commented: "Salud! Drink to the Old World and the New."
Denny Morrison is a Canadian champion long-track speed skater with an Olympic gold medal to his credit. His second passion? Grilling. His food of choice: burgers. You can read the full story at the link above, or check out his favorite burger recipe here:
"This recipe was handed down from a singer who swears she has stopped numerous sore throats by drinking this tea regularly upon any hint of a cold," says Brenda Roes of Glendale, California. "I've since added to it, and it has helped me combat the winter nasties. It tastes horrible."
This is an exciting blend of fresh, light flavors that makes a great beginning-of-the-meal palate stimulator during the summer. It has beautiful color and a slight bite from the ginger. A thinly sliced lime wheel makes an excellent garnish when floated on the soup with a dollop of sour cream.
This salad travels well and can be made a day ahead. If you refrigerate it overnight, bring it to room temperature before serving.
This recipe hails from Algeria, where it is a popular appetizer. Note the use of paprika here -- it was introduced form Hungary via Spain.
Variations on this hot sauce appear all over Africa, with the key ingredint being peanuts in any form. Here, peanut butter works well--either smooth or crunchy. Its most common usage is to spread over fried chicken or fish or serve it over rice.

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 11/9/12
Sporting News recently surveyed 103 NFL players asking who they thought was the most overrated player in professional football. To absolutely nobody's surprise Tim Tebow was at the very top of this list pulling in 36 of the 103 votes. That wasn't news to anybody. What was interesting here was that Tom Brady actually received not one, but two votes in the poll.Listen, I'm not saying that I know more about football than the guys that were in the poll and used Tom Brady's name. These guys are on the field, have played the game more than I've thought about it and are clearly more knowledgeable than I when it comes to football. What I am saying is that they are wrong in this instance. Do Patriots fans overrate Brady? Maybe a little. But in the grand scheme of things there is no doubt he's one of the all-time greats and is still one of the best going at his position.Maybe there are other explanations for the votes. Maybe those two guys were Tom's Patriot teammates giving him a ribbing. Ma...

TAYLORVILLE – A thick coating of ice before Tuesday's snowfall mixed with high winds left hundreds of Christian and Montgomery residents without power for most of Wednesday.
TAYLORVILLE – A thick coating of ice before Tuesday's snowfall mixed with high winds left hundreds of Christian and Montgomery residents without power for most of Wednesday.
But people were getting by, thanks to backup generators and local firehouses.
The Illinois Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross also set up a shelter at Taylorville High School for residents in Christian County, where more than 2,500 Ameren Illinois customers started the day with no electricity.
Affected communities included Morrisonville, Edinburg, Stonington and Assumption, Christian County Emergency Manager Mike Crews said.
Nearly 800 customers in Montgomery County, including the town of Raymond, also had no power for most of the day.
Perle and Evelyn Pray of Assumption in eastern Christian County were the first to show up at Taylorville High's shelter about 11 a.m.
Assumption's power went out about 8 p.m. Tuesday. The Prays tried to bundle up with blankets, but by about 7 a.m., their house had become cold to remain inside.
Perle, 89, who uses an oxygen tank periodically, also worried about his health. Unable to get their vehicle on the road and with the nearest family members living 40 miles away in Springfield, the couple called 911.
Firefighters initially took the Prays to the Pana Fire Department. They were later dropped off at the Taylorville shelter.
The Prays were the only clients at the shelter about 1 p.m.
Residents of Morrisonville, a community of about 1,000 people, had no power starting about 1 a.m., Morrisonville ESDA coordinator Bill O'Connell said. It was restored Wednesday evening.
The Morrisonville-Palmer Fire Department, which has a generator, opened a short time later as a warming center.
"We've had people coming in and out all day," O'Connell said. About 15 people were at the station at 4 p.m. "We're a pretty friendly group here. Everybody looks out for everybody," O'Connell said.
In Raymond, all 927 residents lost electricity about 1 a.m. as well, Mayor Dennis Held said.
"We opened up the warming center at the firehouse," he said Wednesday afternoon. "We got probably 25 up there now."
Since both of Raymond's gas stations shut down, Dan Hough, owner of Hough Funeral Home, had to travel to nearby Hillsboro or Litchfield to get more gas for his generator.
The outage also has delayed funeral arrangements for Hough's grandmother, Temple Hough, who passed away Sunday.
"I still need to clear the sidewalks at the funeral home. We can't get it clear enough because of all the ice. We got about 2 to 3 inches of snow on top of the 4 or 5 inches of sleet we got overnight (Tuesday)," he said.
For most residents in Edinburg, Wednesday's power outage lasted from about 2:30 to 10 a.m.
Page 2 of 2 - As soon as the lights kicked back on, a crowd of people gathered at the Ayerco station, including Jim Ridgeway and his son, Jim, Jr. The blizzard meant the younger Ridgeway didn't have to report to work at his job at Roland Machinery in Springfield and could join his father for coffee.
The men swapped storm stories with other residents, most of whom braved the power outage thanks to generators.
Around the corner, John Rupnik, owner of Uncle Johns Family Restaurant, planned to open for dinner as a friend with a four-wheeler plowed outside his building.
With most residents opting to stay indoors for the foreseeable future, "we'll get a lot of to-go orders," Rupnik said.
Power restored in New Berlin
NEW BERLIN -- Power was restored to New Berlin about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Tuesday's storm knocked out the village's electricity at 11:30 a.m. Landline phone service also was disrupted from just before midnight Tuesday to roughly 8 a.m. Wednesday, Village President Steve Frank said.
Six people stayed overnight at the New Berlin Fire Department, where a backup generator kept visitors warm.

Excalibur composed by James Swearingen. Concert band. Young Concert Band. Norman Lee Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR324). Grade 1.5. Score and set of parts. Composed 1992. Duration 3 minutes, 33 seconds. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.015-2491-00).
This is an exceptional concert or festival piece for the end of the first year or for second year bands. It contains all of the unmistakable Swearingen magic and yet remains very playable. A great vehicle for teaching syncopation as well as musical style, all of the ranges are very moderate, and with the exception of a few notes in the first clarinet part, all of the clarinets remain below the break.
