The satellite system includes at least two satellites having on-board processing capability so that data messages may be exchanged and the position of mobiles may be determined with direct access from multiple ground control facilities. The satellites transmit data and poll individual mobiles upon command by one or more of the control facilities and receive replies from the mobiles including the mobiles' altitude and other data of interest to the control facility. The at least two satellites communicate with one another by means of a cross-link communication path. Computer processing apparatus is included on the satellites to compute the ranges between the mobiles and each of the satellites from the replies received from the mobiles, and to store and process messages. The position information and messages are transmitted to at least one of the control facilities. It is preferred that the control facilities employ TDMA or FDMA protocols in the uplinks to the satellites. The on-board processing makes it readily possible for a number of control facilities to gain access to the satellites directly rather than through a central earth station, and to increase the capacity of a discrete address polling system for a given allocation of radio frequency spectrum. A discrete address polling system is one where each mobile is polled on an individual basis by only responding to polls that contain its identification.

This application is a continuation, of U.S. application Ser. No. 06/898,196, filed 08/20/86 now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a satellite surveillance and data link system and more particularly to a system for determining the range to mobiles, storing uploaded poll commands to mobiles until the poll is scheduled to be transmitted, and aquiring mobiles that request entry into the system through satellite on-board computing capability.
There is currently high-level commercial and government interest in the application of communication satellite technology to mobiles (e.g., aircraft, ships, and trucks). This technology has the advantage of almost unlimited coverage as compared to the restrictions of terrestrial line-of-sight limited communications and it eliminates the need for many ground-based facilities. There is also unused radio spectrum reserved for mobile-satellite communications. Satellites have been in successful operation for ship-to-shore communications for several years through a service provided by the international consortium, INMARSAT. Recently, the aviation community has rapidly begun to renew its interest for the use of satellites for air traffic control, airline operational control and public correspondence.
In known polling system methods using satellites for cooperative position determination, the satellite acts only as a repeater for ground initiated polls and replies from the mobile, and acts as a repeater for data messages. U.S. Pat. No. 4,359,733 discloses a GEOSTAR concept that utilizes satellites as repeaters in which ground based computers calculate ranges to mobiles.
Other known proposed systems also use the satellite solely as a repeater of the uplinked data from the ground, and rely upon centralized earth stations and terrestrial links for interconnection to control facilities such as air traffic control centers. On-board processing is a major theme of NASA's Advanced Communication Technology Satellite (ACTS) program and advanced military satellites. See, M. Kachnor, "Switchboards in the Sky," Microwave and RF, June, 1986, and M. E. Thimlar, et al., "Future Space-Based Computer Processors," Aerospace America, March 1984.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a ranging and processing satellite system for cooperative mobile surveillance and data link service in which the satellites have on-board processing capability.
It is another object of the present invention to provide such a satellite system which can be directly accessed from multiple ground control facilities.
Yet another object of the invention is such a satellite-based system which is more efficient than previously known discrete address cooperative surveillance satellite systems.
Still another object of the invention is a satellite system including the use of cross-link communications between the satellites to provide data for on-board satellite position determination for on-board acquisition of mobiles into the system.
Yet another object of the invention is a system in which the on-board processing involves not only signal regeneration and beam switching capability, but also digital data processing of messages, for storage of poll commands, generation of polls to mobiles according to a schedule, storage of replies to polls, and formatting of messages.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by means of a ranging and processing satellite system (RAPSAT) for data communication and surveillance of mobiles from multiple control facilities including at least two satellites adapted for polling individual mobiles requested by one or more of the control facilities and for receiving replies from the mobiles including the mobiles' altitude such as an aircraft's barometric altitude. A cross-link communication path is provided between the satellites. The satellites include processing apparatus to compute the ranges between the mobile and each of the satellites from the replies from the mobiles and include apparatus for transmitting the computed ranges to at least one control facility, and to compute the mobile's position for acquisition. It is preferred that the control facilities employ TDMA (time division multiple access) or FDMA (frequency division multiple access) as uplinks to the satellites.

The ranging and processing satellite system (RAPSAT) has been designed to provide multiple access for both mobile users and their control facilities such as those operated by air traffic control, marine traffic regulation, and commercial transportation companies. As discussed above, in proposed mobile satellite systems, the ground control facilities obtain access to the satellite via terrestrial links to large central earth stations. However, the on-board processing of the present invention makes it readily possible for a number of control facilities to gain access to the satellite directly from their premises via TDMA or FDMA uplinks as illustrated in FIG. 1. A RAPSAT satellite 10 includes an on-board processor which provides the logic and memory functions to be described hereinafter. Mobile multiple access is accomplished through a polling scheme that is initiated at the satellite 10 under the control of on-board processing based on poll commands from control facilities. The replies from mobiles 12 to the polls from the satellite 10 are processed on-board the satellite 10 including the two-way range determination to the mobile. The resulting data is transmitted via a time division multiplex (TDM) down link broadcast to control facilities 16. Each of the control facilities 16 picks off the data corresponding to the mobiles under its control.
FIG. 2 is an overall diagram of the RAPSAT system architecture employing, as an example, two geostationary satellites 18 and 20, each handling one-half of the mobiles 22 and 24. The two satellites 18 and 20 are used for the purposes of sharing the processing load and for mobile position determination by range-range measurements and transmitted altitude from a mobile's reply to a poll that is addressed to it. Each of the satellites 18 and 20 individually polls those mobiles that are under the control of the control facilities 26 and 28 that have access to it. The replies to the polls are received by both satellites for position determination. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the satellite 20 transmits a poll to a mobile 24 with a reply being received both by the polling satellite 20 and the receive only satellite 18. The receive only satellite 18 transmits the time it received the reply to the poll originating satellite 20 by a crosslink communication path 30 for processing by the satellite 20 and eventual transmission to the ground control facilities 28.
Each satellite 18 and 20 simultaneously uses the same frequency spectrum; thus, a two-fold frequency reuse is employed for spectral efficiency. This is accomplished by spot beam technology. Furthermore, the coverage of each satellite is partitioned into two areas for the purpose of filling the garbling guard times that must be placed between individual polls from the satellite when operating in a multi-satellite ranging mode. Garbling refers to an interfering overlap of replies at a received satellite. See, B. D. Elrod, "Aircraft Interrogation Scheduling with ASTRO-DABS," Mitre Technical Report, MTR-6368, Mar. 30, 1973. The filling of the garbling guard time--made readily possible by on-board processing--gives RAPSAT almost twice the capacity of previously proposed discrete address polling type satellite systems. See, B. D. Elrod, A. Weinburg, L. P. Sinha, "Investigation of Selected Satellite-Aided ATC System Concepts Employing the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System," Mitre Technical Report, MTR-7688, January 1978.
The RAPSAT system disclosed herein is designed such that a number of control facilities such as 26 and 28 can each directly access a satellite from earth stations located on their premises. Mobiles such as 22 and 24 achieve access for data link and surveillance service through replying to periodic polls addressed to them from the satellites 18 or 20 that have been previously uploaded by the control facilities 26 or 28 and stored on board the satellite in a computer. The methods of access will now be described in conjunction with FIGS. 3, 4, and 5. The multiple access for the ground-based control facilities to the RAPSAT satellite can be accomplished either by TDMA or FDMA. It is believed that TDMA is superior for RAPSAT since the time division poll command uploads can be synchronized with the forward link polling sequence as will be discussed below. FIG. 3a illustrates the TDMA upload of poll commands from ten control facilities to one of the satellites 18 or 20 of FIG. 2. The control facility uploads in FIG. 3a are labeled as the five pairs (A1, A2), (B1, B2), (C1, C2), (D1, D2), and (E1, E2). Each control facility is assigned a geographical area of responsibility and loads its poll commands into the uplink channel during its assigned time slot. Since ten control facilities are assumed in this example, ten time slots are allocated each frame. If frame duration is assumed to be four seconds, then each time slot is approximately 0.4 seconds. Each satellite's coverage area is divided in half. Thus, RAPSAT, as illustrated in this example, consists of four major coverage sub-areas or two quadrants per satellite. Each member of a pair of control facilities (say E1, E2) is assigned a geographical coverage area within a different quadrant as illustrated in FIG. 3b. The geographical areas are sufficiently separated such that poll replies from each area can be readily separated by spot beam receive antennas on the satellite. The order of the uplink poll command loading time sequence is synchronized to the order of polling of the area covered by each control facility in a pair as will be shown hereinbelow.
The multiple access of mobiles is designed to account for the guard time that should be inserted between polls to prevent garbling of replies when the poll replies are to be received by more than one satellite. If the polls are to be received by only one satellite, then garbling can be precluded by polling the mobiles in range ascending order from the satellite, and using a guard time between polls if a reply burst from a mobile is of greater duration than the next poll burst transmitted from the satellite. B. D. Elrod in the 1973 report referenced above has shown that garbling can also be precluded when replies are to be received by more than one satellite if the guard time satisfies the following inequality
Tg >D/c+Trl -Tt2
Tg =guard time between polls
D=distance between the two mobiles
c=speed of light
Trl =burst duration of reply to first poll
Tt2 =burst duration of the next poll transmission
To readily implement such a scheme, Elrod divided the coverage area of the polling satellite into solid hexagonal cells of three-dimensional diameter d. Here, these cells will be called range ordering cells (ROC) or range ordering subvolumes to emphasize that they are different from the common frequency reuse cells used in mobile telephone systems. To preclude garbling, mobiles located in each ROC are polled in range ascending order with guard time, Tg, between polls and at D=d. This polling sequence is illustrated in FIG. 4a. As can be seen, the guard time Tg is wasted since it is unused. .
With on-board processing, it is readily possible to fill the garbling guard time using the same frequency by polling another mobile located in an ROC that is out of the coverage of the receive spot beam antenna that covers the ROC of the first mobile. Thus, the forward link can be fully utilized if mobiles are alternately polled as illustrated in FIG. 4b. In the present invention, mobiles from a pair of control facilities are alternately polled by the on-board processor which has the poll commands stored in its memory. For example, referring to FIG. 5, a mobile under Control Facility (El) is polled, the next poll is for a mobile under control facility (E2), then a mobile under Control Facility (El) and so on. It is noted that each control facility pair occupies the two uplink time slots occurring prior to the alternating polling of their respective coverage areas. That is, control facilities (Al) and (A2) start their uplink slots every 4 seconds and complete them just prior to the alternating polling of their coverage areas. This allows the controlling authority on the ground the maximum amount of time (about 3 seconds for this example) to prepare and send an advisory or request data link message during the next poll.
On-board processing allows the range from satellite to mobile to be determined at the satellite. When a mobile is polled, the on-board processor records the time the poll is transmitted. The time when the reply to the poll is received is also determined to derive range to the mobile as is done in conventional radar systems. That is, the total round trip time is an indication of rang from the mobile to the satellite.
To determine a mobile's position, it is sufficient to determine its range to two widely separated satellites and to know its geocentric altitude. The intersection of the resulting three spherical surfaces defines the mobile's position. Aircraft geocentric altitude can be estimated from the sum of transmitted baroaltimeter derived altitude with proper corrections applied to it and the local earth radius. The system of the present invention derives a cooperative position determination by this method for the surveillance function. Referring again to FIG. 2, a reply to a satellite's poll is received at both satellites 18 and 20. The time the mobile 24 transmitted the reply can be calculated at the polling satellite 20 to be
Tm =(Txa +Tra)/2
Tm=time when mobile replies to poll
Txa =time when polling satellite initiates poll to mobile
Tra =time when mobile's reply is received at the polling satellite
The range (in units of time) between the second satellite and the mobile is then
Rb =Trb -Tm
Rb =range to second satellite
Trb =time when mobile's reply is received at second satellite
The second satellite 18 transmits its poll received time (Trb) to the polling satellite 20 via the cross link 30. The clocks on both satellites are synchronized; therefore, the polling satellite uses the above equations to calculate the range between the second satellite and the mobile. The two ranges and received altitude (in the case of an aircraft) become part of the mobile's down link message to the control facility and are used on-board the satellite to compute position for acquisition of mobiles entering the system. Garbling between replies to polls initiated by both satellites is precluded by directional receive antennas on the satellites.
The acquisition of mobiles according to the present invention can also be accomplished by on-board processing. Periodically, say every two seconds, a broadcast message is transmitted by the satellite for the purpose of requesting acquisition. Those mobiles seeking acquisition will reply. Based on a mobile's reply (including altitude for the case of an aircraft), the polling satellite can calculate the mobile's position as described above, and, thus, identify the ROC where the mobile is located. During the next sweep of this ROC, the mobile is polled. Its reply is then processed as any other reply. The efficiency of this method is decreased by the absence of garbling protection. However, if the acquisition reply message length is kept at a minimum (e.g., identification, range code and abbreviated position information from the mobile navigation system) then the probability of garbling is minimized.
The RAPSAT concept according to the present invention centers around the use of large scale on-board processing. The operational on-board processing features of RAPSAT are:
Storage of Poll Commands On Board the Satellite to Facilitate Optimal Poll Sequencing
Control Facility Multiple Access
Range Ordered Polling with No Waste of Garbling Guard Times
Two-Way Ranging on Mobiles
Determination of Position of Mobiles
Acquisition of Mobiles Entering the System
Beam Switching
Data Message Regeneration
A top-level description of the functions within the satellite to provide these features will now be presented. It is to be understood that this description is only one of a number of ways of implementation. FIG. 6 is a top-level data flow chart of RAPSAT on-board processing. The processing is divided into forward processing and return processing. The forward front end processing block 40 scans a poll request buffer for decoded poll request messages from the control facilities, checks the messages for completeness and consistency, and controls the message flow to the poll initiate processing block 42 to ensure that the poll request messages from a control facility reach the poll initiate processing block 42 in time for the scan of the control facility's coverage area. The poll initiate processing block 42 interprets the poll request messages from the control facilities and formats them into poll messages to the mobiles, controls the scanning of the coverage area of each control facility by controlling the switching to the corresponding spot beam, properly assigns the order of the polls as directed by the stored control facility poll commands, and interleaves the polls of each control facility pair. It interfaces with the cross link channel to alert the other satellite that a poll has been initiated and it transfers the poll initiation alert and poll initiation time to the return correlation processing block 44. A return front end processing block 46 scans the poll reply buffer for decoded replies from mobiles, associates replies with their receive times, checks replies for completeness and consistency, and controls the reply flow to the return correlation processing block 44. It detects and counters external interfering signals in the return link by identifying and evaluating the interference, initiating an alert message to satellite ground control for action, attempts to reject the interference through signal processing or, if necessary, closes the beam through which the interference is present. It also similarly processes buffered decoded reply data received from the other satellite.
The return correlation processing block 44 correlates a reply message to the corresponding poll initiation message, pairs the poll initiation time and poll receive times at its satellite and at the other satellite for range determination, performs the two-way ranging computations for each satellite, formats each reply message for the down link, performs the acquisition function, and formats and controls the down link TDM stream of reply messages.
The forward functions (ground to mobile) of the satellite receive and process the poll request messages from the control facilities and initiate the polls. The return functions (mobile to ground) receive and process the replies from the mobiles, correlate them with the poll initiations, determine range to the mobile, and generate the TDM down link to the control facilities.
FIG. 7 is an exemplary top-level block diagram of the satellite forward functions. The receiver 50 includes an up link antenna assembly, low noise front end, down converter and demodulator. A decoder 52 digitizes and formats the demodulated poll request messages to make them suitable for digital processing. A buffer 54 stores the digitized poll request messages until they are accessed by a forward processing block 56 as described above for FIG. 6. An encoder 58 transforms the poll bit streams into a waveform that is suitable for modulating the carrier. A transmitter 60 contains a modulator, up converter, power amplifier and spot beam antenna assembly. Since only one poll is transmitted at a time, the power amplifier can be operated at full power capability without generating intermodulation products, a significant advantage that is often stated for TDMA.
FIG. 8 is a top-level block diagram of the satellite return functions. Receivers 62 and 64, representing multiple parallel receivers, consist of spot beam receive antenna assemblies, low noise front ends, down converters and demodulators. This figure illustrates parallel receivers in a functional sense. A common receiver can also be used with appropriate beam switching. However, the parallel approach would allow a less complicated operation since the poll transmit and reply receive functions would not have to be synchronized for receive beam switching. The data decoders 66 and 68 digitize, apply forward error correction, and format the demodulated replies into a format suitable for digital processing. The demodulated replies are also routed to reply timing blocks 70 and 72 where the reply arrival time is determined based upon the satellite time reference. A return link buffer 74 stores the digitized reply messages and arrival times until they are accessed by the return processing block 76. A cross link buffer 78 stores the digitized reply messages received from the other satellite until accessed by the return processing block 76 which has been described above in conjunction with FIG. 6. A down link consists of a down link transmitter 80 and provides a TDM stream of processed replies. Each control facility processes those replies that are of interest to it. This provides a back up capability in the event a control facility has an outage. In that case, another control facility(s) would be assigned the failed control facility's TDMA uplink slot and would receive the corresponding replies on the TDM down link.
It is thus seen that the objects of this invention have been achieved in that there has been disclosed a ranging and processing satellite system for the data link and surveillance service of mobiles from multiple control facilities. The present invention allows direct multiple access from numerous control facilities. On-board interleaving of polling messages eliminates the waste of garbling guard times which leads to high spectral efficiency. The present system also permits on-board satellite acquisition of mobiles entering the system. It is recognized that modifications and variations of the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art and it is intended that all such modifications and variations be included within the scope of the appended claims.

If you haven't heard your own name yet, you haven't listened long enough. If your eyes aren't filled with tears, if you aren't bowing at her feet, you haven't ever grieved having almost lost her. If you want to change the world… love a woman-one woman beyond yourself, beyond desire and reason, beyond your male preferences for youth, beauty and variety and all your superficial concepts of freedom. We have given ourselves so many choices we have forgotten that true liberation comes from standing in the middle of the soul's fire and burning through our resistance to Love. There is only one Goddess. Look into Her eyes and see-really see if she is the one to bring the axe to your head. If not, walk away. Right now. Don't waste time "trying." Know that your decision has nothing to do with her because ultimately it's not with who, but when we choose to surrender. If you want to change the world… love a woman. Love her for life-beyond your fear of death, beyond your fear of being manipulated by the Mother inside your head. Don't tell her you're willing to die for her. Say you're willing to LIVE with her, plant trees with her and watch them grow. Be her hero by telling her how beautiful she is in her vulnerable majesty, by helping her to remember every day that she IS Goddess through your adoration and devotion. If you want to change the world… love a woman in all her faces, through all her seasons and she will heal you of your schizophrenia- your double-mindedness and half-heartedness which keeps your Spirit and body separate- which keeps you alone and always looking outside your Self for something to make your life worth living. There will always be another woman. Soon the new shiny one will become the old dull one and you'll grow restless again, trading in women like cars, trading in the Goddess for the latest object of your desire. Man doesn't need any more choices. What man needs is Woman, the Way of the Feminine, of Patience and Compassion, non-seeking, non-doing, of breathing in one place and sinking deep intertwining roots strong enough to hold the Earth together while she shakes off the cement and steel from her skin. If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman . Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel. Love her through her fear of abandonment which she has been holding for all of humanity. No, the wound is not hers to heal alone. No, she is not weak in her codependence. If you want to change the world, lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs. Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger and love a woman… beyond all of your striving for greatness, beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment. The holy grail stands before you if you would only take her in your arms and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy.

Gallery: SELSAM SUPERTURBINES: Flying wind-turbines for max power
The higher up in the air you go, the faster wind travels – so naturally the further from the ground a wind-turbines gets, the more efficient it can be. Thats why the idea of a flying wind-turbine is a such a win-win (or win-wind) proposition. Combining wind power with floating blimps, Selsam has been hard at work expanding the horizons of alternative energy with a revolutionary new breed of SuperTurbines that promise to take wind power to new heights.

good idea. and then you start harvesting bodies of local gulls or turns out the low-freq noise from these things distracts some fancy whale specie from mating and some branch of nature lovers organization du jour who love nature more than you will shut this sucker down. OOPS..

What about the poor birds who happen to inhabit the coastal areas where this things would reside? Aren't exposed turbines running up and down the stalk of this thing blowing in the breeze a potential disaster for coastal aviary life? I'm also concerned with how close ships could get near the blades. From the 3rd illustration, all it would take is one strong gust to send those propellers into that tanker!

Writer's play on West End stage
JOURNALIST Mark Beech has seen his play performed on the London stage after winning a top writing award.
Mr Beech, 46, of Donnington Farm, was one of only three winners in the Westminster Prize Scheme for short plays, which encourages new talent.
Last week, Mr Beech's third-placed Freaks Come Out at Night was given its special one-night performance at the Soho Theatre.
The cast included Robert Mountford, a Shakespearean actor who also played Damien in EastEnders.
Mr Beech, news editor at Bloomberg Television, said: "I am absolutely delighted to have been recognised and to get my work performed on the West End stage.
"I hope the one night show will lead to a longer run later."
The play tells the story of a stag night prank that goes wrong and leaves its victim chained to a park bench. A good Samaritan comes along, but is the rescuer all that he seems?
Mr Beech said: "The psychological drama that develops has a twist in the tale."
The emerging playwright is actually no stranger to success in the West End.
An earlier play, Happy/Sad, was produced by the Soho Theatre two years ago.
He has worked for ITN and the Sunday Times and he is also the author of The A-Z of Names in Rock (Robson Books), described by the late John Peel as indispensable.
A graduate of St Catherine's College, Oxford, Mr Beech has also published a collection of poetry called Passionfruit.
This was edited by the late Howard Sergeant, who was editor of the well-respected poetry magazine Outposts.

I'm not going to comment on most of the OP because most of it is personal opinion and quite frankly it reads like an advertisement--just as exaggerated and lacking any real meaning.
However, how can you honestly say that there is no handholding when 90% of the time the game places a marker on the map and on the UI, showing you exactly where to go?
Also, there is no such thing as a "sandpark." It's either a themepark or a sandbox and TSW is a themepark game through and through. EVE, UO and old SWG are sandbox games. TSW does not share any features with them.

I agree with your first point about the OP. It's quite overenthusiastic (among other things that are wrong with it).
On the other hand, i disagree with pretty much everything else you said.
Handholding can be defined in different ways. EVE also places a marker on map and UI for just about everything, but it's probably the MMO with the LEAST "handholding" out of any i've played. Map markers don't really mean much on their own.
I also completely disagree with your point about "sandpark". I believe it's quite vice versa - that there is no such thing as "sandbox" (second life comes close i guess) and "themepark" (DDO comes pretty close) - but rather that all games are somewhere in the middle of that continuum, with some obviously being closer to one side than another.
Finally, I also disagree with you last point about TSW not sharing any features with EVE and SWG. It shares some very key things with EVE - the main being the character development system that is completely unrestricted, based around horizontal (as well as vertical) progression and allows for one character to fill any role based on deck and gear loadout. EVE is one of the only games out there that works the same way. Another key feature it shares with EVE is that your exploration direction is also horizontal - you can go anywhere to do anything. (Yes, there are QL restrictions in TSW and similar gear Tier restrictions and mission levels in EVE, so really it's pretty similar.) SWG's character development model was much more "themepark" than TSW's, but it still felt similar since even though you were limited in your classes, you could combine different things in a variety of ways.
For the record: i'm no way arguing that TSW is a sandbox game - it's not. But to say that it doesn't share any key features with EVE and/or SWG is just plain ignorance as one of the key features of the game (character progression) is more akin to those games than anything else on the market.
P.S. Does anyone know when the term "themepark" originated in regards to MMOs? The first time i ever heard it used was in relation to the "Jabba's Palace Themepark" area of SWG.

The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free.
For me it feels like a cross between X-files and a Stephen King novel. Very engaging.
And I agree that it may take some time to grow on you. I didn't enjoy it at all during the first beta weekend, but it got better further in.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft' might win, by fearing to attempt
I like most of the movies on the "favorite movie" list in the original post, and I LOVED The Longest Journey, and yet TSW did nothing for me at all. I didn't enjoy my 40 hours of beta, and I still bought it (against my better judgement but because I found it on the cheap and my friends bought it for some reason...) and I have not liked my 25+ hours of live. I simply can not carry on beyond Blue Mountain with the way I feel about the game.
Not knocking those who like it, but the criteria set by the first few posts of this thread are not always the case...
Edit - I also have loved HP Lovecraft for most of my life since I started reading, as well as Poe and King. So that really didn't have much effect on my enjoyment of the game either.

UO and EVE thrive on player created content. TSW does very little to support it.

The Limousin region
The village of Curemonte dates back to the 11th century and has been honoured with the title of "L'un des plus beaux villages de France". There is also a local farmers market once a week in the summer months. Beaulieu sur Dordogne, just 10 minutes from Curemonte and, as its name suggests, situated on the Dordogne River, is a small market town with many shops, several bars and restaurants and a twice-weekly market.
Despite its numerous attractions (3 Chateaux, 3 churches and a market hall), it remains very much a working village, with a post office, bar/tabac and three restaurants.
The Benedictine Abbey and Chapelle des Penitents are in the centre of the town, canoes can be hired at the river, as well as boat trips on the traditional "Gabares".
A mere 15 minute drive takes you to villages, chateaux, caves and of course the Dordogne River. To the west is Collonges-la Rouge, the "city of little castles", and Turenne, a 15th century village whose high pitched roofs surround two castles from which the foothills of the Massif Central can be seen. For those wishing to explore a little further afield, the world famous Lascaux caves can be reached in an hour, along with the many other attractions of the Lower Dordogne area. The Cahors and Bordeaux wine regions are also within easy reach.
To the south and east is the Dordogne valley, with a wealth of villages such as Loubressac, Autoire, Carennac and Martel. The Chateaux of Castelnau, Belcastel and Montal are all close by, while the citadel of Rocamadour is only 30 minutes drive away.
More active pursuits include horse riding which can be arranged locally, canoeing down the Dordogne River, tennis, cycling (we have several bikes for hire and also organise half and full day cycling itineraries), beautiful walks, three nearby golf courses, and hot-air ballooning trips. For children there is also an 'acrobranche' park if they enjoy climbing and adventure, water parks, the 'foret de singes' and 'parc animalier', and not forgetting the steam train running along the banks of the Dordogne in the summer months.
For many, however, the main attraction of the region are the rolling hills, peace and quiet of our immediate surroundings, as well as the local gastronomic specialities such as foie gras, truffles, walnuts, cassoulet, confit de canard and cabecou cheese. Local wines include a delightful red, Mille et Une Pierres from the nearby vineyard of Branceilles, and the aperitif wines "Vin de Paille" and "Vin de Noix".

It is with great delight and honour that I represent the Thorold Junior B Blackhawks as President. Since the beginning, it has been my goal to provide the players of this hockey club, the opportunity to compete at the highest possible level of hockey while providing the city of Thorold and our fans with a team they can truly be proud of, who will strive to represent the community through excellent sportsmanship and some great hockey.
The success of the Thorold Blackhawks requires a dedicated and coordinated effort on many levels. From the executive, to the coaching staff, hardworking players, their families and the many devoted volunteers. Of course it doesn't stop there. Without the ongoing support of the residents of Thorold and the surrounding area, and generous sponsors there would be no Blackhawks. I cannot express how grateful we all are to the many businesses and individuals who provide us with much needed support, through sponsorship and advertising. This is the meaning of "community"!
I would like to congratulate each of the 2014/15 Thorold Blackhawks for earning their spot on this team. We hope to provide you with an environment where your passion and competitiveness bears the results of which you can all be proud. When you leave this team, I hope you take with you memories that leave you not only better hockey players but better citizens.
To the Mayor and Council, thank you for your continued support of the Thorold Blackhawks hockey club. Your efforts to support this team do not go unnoticed and we truly feel part of the Thorold family.
In closing I would like to say that I hope you are all looking forward to sharing in the excitement and anticipation of a thrilling season of Blackhawks hockey.
As always, Go Hawks Go!
Tony Gigliotti, President
Gearing Up for a New Season
If you're interested in playing for the Thorold Blackhawks contact Tony Gigliotti (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Ralph Sacco (firstname.lastname@example.com)

TV-out quality and overscan

Re: TV-out quality and overscan
By the way I've noticed the same extra border around the TV-Out on a Toshiba M45 laptop with its S-Video connector. Theres a huge convenience factor with such output from a laptop however the quality is very low!
I've had a little better luck using a TView Micro by Focus enhancements, which simply takes your VGA out and converts it to composite. That gives the expected full screen output and I drive it at 1024x768 and let it deal with converting all that information to the best possible for composite.
Granted thats still an inexpensive product. Our public access TV center here has an Extron VSC 200 Computer To Video Scan Convereter rack mounted with all their other equipment, and I could probably run a 25foot VGA cable from my computer to it as the next step up. This would just replace my inexpensive TView Micro.
The ultimate approach would be the NVIDIA Quadro FX based SDI cards, as pe1chl was hinting at to get the true RGB YPbPr output, pixel for pixel matched for broadcasting for routing through the video switching equipment. Much more expensive.
Which public access provider are you with? At some level, producers from your establishment and ours should keep in touch on such approaches. And particularly, management from each should know how other outfits are addressing this. The public access station I'm at as a producer is

Living in a rural area with access to good well stocked shops, this website is a lifesaver!
Évaluation du service : Super service, the package arrived quickly and was well conditioned so that nothing could leak. I'm very happy, I definitely recommend this website!Produit : This conditioner smells wonderful and makes my hair super shiny, however I'm afraid it also makes it heavier, I have to wash it more often than I used to...
Very good natural product.
lovely product
Deliver is quick and I've got all I ordered,
but I haven't got samples, which were promised if I spent more than 30£.
Also I saw other shop' sale on Jason products - buy shampoo get conditioner for free and felt myself a bit disappointed because I'd already ordered them from you without any discount
Évaluation du service : livraison dans délai raisonnableProduit : fait son job
Very happy with this project.
Super fast service and free delivery. Cannot get any better. Very happy.
Smells great but the quality is not as good as I would expect, considering the price.
Very happy with the conditioner it leaves my hair nice and healthy and shiney.
I have been trying this out for the first time as the Jason Shampoo is so rich that I haven't felt the need to use a conditioner. It's lovely and I use it now once a week.
Love this conditioner which I've been using together with the shampoo since years
Difficult to get the conditioner out of the bottle!
Excellent all natural product
Good Service

I've got to say, the Remote Access app has been working much better lately, and much faster, thank you Dish! Not sure where to put in suggestions to improve things... but one thing would be real nice, not only have a view "DVR" button, but also have a view "Rentals" button. Since your Rentals are stored on your DVR, it should be very easy to have a button to access anything you put there.
I just moved 8 AXS.TV concerts to Rentals, they are all great, but sure would be nice to access them from my Nexus 7. All my other recordings are at my fingertips, why not those? Or all Dish Online content for that matter, but that's not really on your drive, so that's probably more difficult to implement.

You can access it, but you can't stream anything there. Requires some oddball plug in, not available on android.

I want to go to there.
I'm happiest during baseball season. I learned to backpack from my mother and cook from my father - it wouldn't have worked so well the other way around - and I am extremely close to both of them, as well as my younger brother. If you're nice, I'll bake for you. I think pirates are better than ninjas and robots, but monkeys beat them all. I sing in the car. I believe in carbohydrates. I have a secret list of cheesy love songs that hopefully someday someone will sing to me. I hate to admit it, but I sort of love Drew Carey on The Price is Right. I enjoy excellent food, wiling away hours in bookstores, good conversation, quirkiness, and spending time with friends. I'm looking for someone to spend time with who's smart, witty, sarcastic, passionate about something in his life, and strongly opinionated.
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Performing arts , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I have Cats, Dogs
I like Exotic Pets, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc.
One cat, Adelaide; dreaming of living in a place where I can have a dog.
Little Ethiopia, Dodger Stadium, the Museum of Jurassic Technology. And anywhere that needs a passport: in the past few years, I've been incredibly fortunate to get to visit Peru, Paris, and Japan - all incredible.

The family tour in Aarhus
The Royal Tour Aarhus
Aarhus Murals and Street Art Walk
Well, some people don't like it but it doesn't cost anything to go by and see it. If you end up in Aarhus, you will do it anyways
Aristocratic builiding between modern danish design and classic architecture. Like a walk in the hall and look up at the lines.... The view to the music hall and Aros trough the tall windows is great.
Seriously, they couldn't have made it any less boring and depressing... the watch is always slow and the cement used was supposed to resemble the simplicity of scandinavian design but ruined it for me (as someone interested in scandinavian design and architecture)... the garden behind is nice but nothing special. I recommend spend your time in other places and gardens...
As a local I must say that there is absolutely nothing special and beautiful about this building. If you are an architect or alike you might find it interesting, but I would say that 9/10 of visitors would just pass it by and say "okay there is a awkward building". A lot of other buildings (including the University) have far...
The interior and exterior of the building is a real eye-sore. Built in a grey 70's communist style architecture that makes one think of Russia in the 70's.
The interior of the structure is dirty as well. I'm not sure how this could even be categorized as an attraction
The new Town Hall was really quite ugly from the outside, and sleek scandanavian inside. Not worth the trip
Properly 60' archeture The building both in and out remindes of Alcatras...horrible! They moved a Jewish cemetary over the road(which is well worth a visit...if only to see the trees overtake the iron fence!) So on the top there a panoramic view of Aarhus and a lot of the surrounding countryside. Not to mention that there are 42 bells up...
Everything was designed in perfect detail, from interior, furniture to outside. They have even designed new surveillance camera housings to fit the copper ashtrays.
Unfortunatel I didn't get to see inside this building but outside it is really beautiful and worth going for a look.
The town hall may not look all that interesting from the outside, but I went on one of the guided tours of the place recently, and the guide did an excellent job of explaining all the historic facts and funny details. We visited the city hall, wedding room, etc. - and we also went up the tower and enjoyed the...

Emaar names its new financial institution Dubai Bank
Emaar Properties recently announced that its soon to be launched bank will be named the Dubai Bank, reported WAM. The new financial institution will offer a range of products and services to both individual consumers and companies and will gradually create and then expand a branch network throughout the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The company appointed global consultancy firm KPMG to work on the structure and strategy for the new bank in March. The vision for the bank is to become a catalyst for growth and innovation in the UAE banking industry as well as in the region as a whole, according to the new bank's CEO Ahmed Bin Brek.
Emaar Properties, a public joint stock company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, currently has five major real estate projects under development. The new bank is part of Emaar's core real estate focus, which aims at optimizing the investment of group resources, while actively diversifying the sources of its revenues. — (menareport.com)

I have been asked to work with a horse that wont let people touch her. I have dealt with several abuse cases and aggresive horses.
So the scoop on the horse.
A middle aged mare. Came from auction and was seen beaten out of the trailer and all the way up the aisle to the ring. They rescued her in hopes to save her. Once they got her home she was aggressive and turned her rump and started kicking with both hinds. Only one person is able to go into her stall now and clean it if they are slow. She has a severe eye injury that they can not take care of because no one has been able to touch this horse.
So my real question is. When a horse turns it's butt on you to kick it usually pins its ears or gets wild eyed in fear. This horse keeps her ears up and swings her head around to see if you leave after the butt swing. Then she starts kicking. All the while the ears are up. If you snap your fingers and say hey firmly she stops and faces you. She also licks and chews with her butt to you.
To me this means the horse is doing this to hurt me. Or anyone that gets close. The owners have told me that several certified john lyons trainers have tried to work with this horse and said it is fear that she is doing it out of.
So my question is. Is it fear? Or is it to hurt?
I believe its on purpose to make you leave and when I called her bluff she backed down. Also this girl stands in the furthest corner from you as soon as you get near her stall let alone lean on the gate. She stands in the middle when you enter.

Grand Rapids, Michigan (PRWEB) April 08, 2014
X-Rite, Incorporated, the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies, today announced the release of ColorTRUE™ Aware SDK (Software Developers Kit) for Apple iOS and Google Android platforms. ColorTRUE Aware SDK provides mobile app developers the ability to deliver accurate color to their app utilizing the profile created with the X-Rite ColorTRUE app, as well as the included image transformation tools.
Unlike laptop or desktop operating systems, iOS and Android operating systems do not have system wide color management capabilities. This means each app must apply color profiles independently. X-Rite now offers a free Software Developers Kit (SDK) that will allow 3rd party app developers access to the custom profile created in the ColorTRUE app, enabling them to seamlessly deliver color management within their own app(s). The 3rd party app must be promoted as 'ColorTRUE Aware' so all ColorTRUE users can quickly identify apps that are color managed whenever they see the ColorTRUE Aware logo.
Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, said "We are very excited to announce our first ColorTRUE Aware Partner is CamRanger, with an anticipated end of April release. CamRanger is a great wireless tethering solution that allows photographers to shoot directly to their mobile device – and now their users will be able to view their images color accurately."
ColorTRUE SDK Components
The ColorTRUE Aware SDK is for both iOS and Android platforms. It includes the retrieval of the display profile, the CMM for color transformations, image processing features including white point selection, ambient light and display brightness compensation and print simulation for soft proofing. The SDK includes sample code, documentation and everything needed to immediately implement color management in an app. To learn more and request the SDK, visit xritephoto.com/colortrueSDK.
Steve Rankin adds, "With ColorTRUE and the ColorTRUE Aware partner program,
X-Rite now offers the missing color management components on iOS and Android platforms. Our goal is to enable app developers and help create an eco-system of color managed apps. We encourage all app developers, where color is important to their users, to contact us and learn more about our ColorTRUE Aware partner program."
About ColorTRUE App
ColorTRUE provides photographers, designers, and prepress professionals the ability to calibrate and profile their tablet and mobile devices for accurate color matching. ColorTRUE includes a Create Profile tool and an Image Gallery viewer and is currently available as a free download on the Apple® App Store and Google® Play Store.
An X-Rite measurement device (sold separately) is required for the ColorTRUE calibration process. iOS phones and tablets support ColorMunki Smile, ColorMunki Display, i1Display Pro, and i1Pro 2, while Android phones and tablets support ColorMunki Display and i1Display Pro. Visit xritephoto.com/colortrue for more information.
