Day 4 of The 12 days of Christmas
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me: 4 National Championships for the LSU Tigers. 3 Bowl Wins for Vandy, 2 New Teams, and 1 Rematch
You might think that with all the coverage LSU is getting on this site we just love the Tigers. That is far from the truth. The problem is, Alabama claims so many titles they do not fit down the chimney in order to be part of the 12 days of Christmas. That leaves Santa only one option, the LSU Tigers. So congratulations to you Tiger fans, Santa will be bringing you your fourth National Championship and your third in ten years. The first claimed National Championship came in 1958, the second was in 2003 when they defeated Oklahoma, the third came in 2007 with a win over Ohio State, and the fourth will come against Alabama. LSU was the first team to win two National Championships during the BCS era and a win on January 9th, 2012 will make them first program to win three. The Championship game is a rematch of a 9-6 LSU overtime victory, a defensive game that we watched on November 5, 2011 played at Alabama. This game brought CBS the second highest TV rantings for a regular season game in 24 years; we expect the National Championship game to have similar TV numbers. In conclusion, on this the fourth day of Christmas Santa was good to the Tigers and has given them their fourth National Championship. For the Tide fans out there don't be sad, your not on Santa's naughty list. Our true love only gave us 12 days and some of you claim as many as 15 National Championships.

Just as you protect your loved ones with life insurance or a will, you need to protect the business you've established and the workers who depend on you. Learn how to create a plan that will keep everything running smoothly when you or your partner can't be there.
By John Mulligan
In 1993, Richard Laermer, president and founder of RLM public relations and author of Punk Marketing, came down with a prolonged case of the flu and was unable to work for more than three weeks. At that time, his firm was a sole proprietorship with only a few employees. While he was out, most of the business was put on hold and one client decided to leave the company. According to Laermer, the client was amazed that there was no one at the company to cover for him during his absence. "That's when I got really nervous about what that means to not have anything in place," he says.
Laermer warns that when you have a small business—especially one with your name in the title—it is easy to think, and have your customers think, that the business revolves around you. "That's dangerous," he says. What happens if you're not there? Illness and injury arise unexpectedly, and there may come a time when you are unable to fulfill your duties running the company for an extended period. It is important to prepare your business in advance should an emergency ever happen.
Write Things Down
The first step in preparing your business to withstand your absence is to develop a written contingency plan. "Most business owner's PDAs are in their brains," says Nate Sachs, founder of Blueprints for Tomorrow, a business advisory firm headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Business owners don't write these things down. There should be a written contingency agreement, so that if anything happens, if I'm disabled, if I'm incapacitated, here's how it's supposed to look."
Betsy Fein, president and founder of Clutterbusters!!, a Rockville, Md.-based company that helps individuals and small businesses become more organized, agrees. Having a written manual filled with all of the information necessary for the business to operate is essential, she says.
"You may know where everything is, but God forbid, something happens or you get called away and someone has to take over, how are they going to know where everything is?" asks Fein.
The manual should include instructions on logging into your computer, passwords, and the names and locations of important files. Additionally, Fein suggests you make a log of your daily routines and responsibilities so whoever is filling in for you has a clear picture of what needs to be done and on what timeframe. "Basically think about everything someone should know and then put it in a three-ring binder," she says.
It is also important to have key contact information readily available. Depending on how long you are away or how unreachable you are, your employees may need to know how to reach people important to the business whom they may not be used to contacting, such as the accountant, banker or attorney.
Have a Replacement Ready
Along with developing a written contingency plan with instructions on how to run the business in your absence, you need to determine who would be the one to follow those instructions and actually run the business. Is there one person who can assume all of your responsibilities or would you rather they be spread among a few different people?
Marika Flatt, founder and president of PR by the Book, LLC in Round Rock, Texas, says, for her company it works better to split up the extra work. She prefers to assign the different tasks required to run the company according to the strengths of her employees. "You do not want people taking over duties they are not qualified for," she says. For example, her husband will run the day-to-day operations of the business, but she has experienced publicists on staff better suited to assume the creative and editorial aspects of her job. She also feels it helps to spread work around so that one person is not overloaded.
If you do divvy your duties among people currently on staff, make sure these separations of responsibility are clearly outlined in your manual or written contingency plan. Whether it's financial decisions, administration, or day-to-day operations, it is important that everyone understands who needs to perform which tasks and who makes final decisions in each area.
Flatt does admit that having one person take over can be a more streamlined way to handle business while you're gone. If you have one person such as a partner or top assistant already very familiar with the management of the business, that is often ideal. However, if someone like that is not on staff, it is natural for a small business owner to turn to a spouse or family member for help managing the business in emergency situations. Sachs suggests that if you go this route, it could be beneficial to appoint an employee or even a trusted peer or acquaintance in the industry to serve as a mentor to the person taking over in your absence.
Structure the Business to Run Without You
The best way to ensure that your business is able to survive without you is to run it in a way that is not dependent upon you while you are available. "The company should always be structured as a stand-alone company," Sachs says. "That means this company can function with or without the owner being there."
Sachs often tells the business owners who consult him to write down an entire list of all their duties, and to identify the two or three things that they do that no one else in the company can do as well. He then tells them to consider all of their duties that could be performed just as effectively by someone else, and set a goal each quarter to make one of those items someone else's responsibility. If you are only responsible for the things that you alone can do, that will leave less of a void if you are temporarily incapacitated.
Sachs also believes it is important that you empower your employees to be able to act without you if necessary. He has a list of the 20 most important relationships to his business, whether those are clients, vendors or business advisors, and he says, "It is my constant goal to have my managing people know those 20 people as well as I do." This way, if he ever is unreachable for any period of time, his employees have a relationship and a level of trust with the people it will be most important for them to work with in his absence.

2007 Saturn Outlook Q&A
2007 Saturn Outlook Question: where does the freon go?
our a/c isnt making cold air, just slightly cool air. we want to add freon, but cant find an opening to put it in. ???? help please. - mhanner
Answer 1
There are fittings on the lines nears the compressor. a high and low side with only can be hooked up one way. They have caps which are plastic and just unscrew. The fittings are very easy to access. You might want to pull the old freon out with an AC machine, check pressure to determine any leaks. I noticed they usually leak at the o-rings near the fittings or on the firewall at the valve. Larger leaks you will notice a filmy wet black color near the leak. smaller leaks will need dye and a blacklight to find the source. There is a sticker under the hood on how much freon to add. I think it was around 1.5 lbs. and there was a bulletin for older models which needed a retrofit. Hope this helps - calaway

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Hans Werner Henze in 1960.
Prolific composer Hans Werner Henze died on October 27, 2012 in Dresden, where he was expected to attend the premier of a ballet based on one of his scores. Henze's works include operas and songs as well as chamber and symphonic compositions. His work is often explicitly political. Openly gay for most of his life, Henze also freely incorporated allusions to homosexuality in his work.
Born in Westphalia on July 1, 1926, Henze came of age during the Nazi period. As a teenager, he became interested in the modernist music banned by the Nazis. In 1944, he was drafted into the German army and served in Poland. His revulsion against Nazism is apparent in his music.
As Paul Griffiths observes in the New York Times, Henze "sought a new music that would carry with it the emotion, the opulence and the lyricism of the Romantic era. . . . Separating himself from the avant-garde, he devoted himself to genres many of his colleagues regarded as outmoded: opera, song, the symphony."
Among his explicitly political works are the vituperative Versuch über Schweine (1968), the dramatic cantata Das Floß der Medusa (1968), the Cuban slave's story El Cimarrón (1970), the bizarre "show for 17" Der langwierige Weg in die Wohnung der Natascha Ungeheuer (1971), the "anthology" cantata Voices (1973), and the ballet Orpheus (1978).
Other important works include eight symphonies (1947-1993), five string quartets (1947-1976), the remarkable Second Piano Concerto (1967), and numerous concerti, keyboard works, and chamber works.
He is also well known for his collaborations with W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman, who provided the libretti for Elegy for Young Lovers (1961) and The Bassarids (1966).
Heinze's ambiguous political and aesthetic position--regarded as avant-garde by the bourgeoisie, but as an Establishment tool or "limousine liberal" by the avant-garde--haunted Henze's career. It contributed, along with his increasing distaste for Germany, to his decision to establish residence in Italy in 1953.
Despite maintaining a residence in Italy, he served as professor of music in Salzburg from 1962 to 1967 and Cologne from 1980 to 1991. In 1990, he became the first composer in residence for the Berlin Philharmonic. In 1988 he founded the Munich Biennale. The Biennale has commissioned many new stage works by young composers.
Henze was forthright about his homosexuality in his honest, non-sensational autobiography, Bohemian Fifths (1999).
Images of and allusions to homosexuality appear in Heliogabalus Imperator (1972) and Le Miracle de la Rose for clarinet and ensemble (1981), the former a symphonic poem suggesting Roman decadence, the latter an instrumental work that refers to Genet's novel.
Giffiths describes as "the crowning work" his late period, "Elogium Musicum" for choir and orchestra (2008), which he wrote in memory of Fausto Moroni, his companion of four decades, who died in 2007.
In the video clip below, director Fiona Shaw discusses the English National Opera's 2010 production of Elegy for Young Lovers.

The Israeli prime Minister offers his greetings as Israel nears the 63rd anniversary of independence.
Shimon Peres has emphasised Israel's ongoing commitment to fighting antisemitism and delegitimisation at home and in the diaspora as the Jewish state approaches its 63rd birthday.
In a message to diaspora Jews to mark 63 years since David Ben-Gurion declared independence, the Israeli president said: "As we celebrate we can look back on the historic miracle of the birth of a nation."
The first female prime minister of Israel wasn't known as "the only man in the Cabinet" for nothing. Golda Meir, the woman who led Israel after the death of Levi Eshkol and during the 1973 war, personified the Israeli spirit with her rugged outlook and forthright honesty.
Europe's biggest Israel Independence Day event is due to take place in London next month.
The Zionist Federation's Israel 63 Yom Ha'atzmaut party will feature singer Einat Sarouf.
Young Israeli performers Adi Bouskila, Gilan Shahof, Yael Erez and Ido Shavit, who were due to perform at Yom Ha'atzmaut last year, but were grounded due to the volcanic ash incident, will also be there.
Almost exactly a month before the establishment of the state of Israel, 80 people – 79 Jewish doctors and nurses and one British soldier – were killed when a medical convoy taking aid to Hadassah Hospital was attacked by Arab forces.
In the aftermath of the terrible events on Easter Sunday in Kishinev, in modern-day Moldova – then the capital of Bessarabia - poet Chaim Bialik wrote his notorious verse "In the City of Slaughter".
After Levi Eshkol's sudden death from a heart attack, the party chose the then 70-yearold to replace him. In doing so, the woman born Golda Mabovitch in Kiev became the first female leader in Israel and a pioneering figure for the world.
She said on being chosen: "I have faced difficult problems in the past but nothing like the one I'm faced with now in leading the country."
The first of France's Maghrebi protectorates to throw of its colonial master, Morocco did not share the radical upheaval or violence of neighbouring Algeria in its struggle for independence.
The son of an Irgun member who fought during Israel's war of independence has been elected the first Jewish mayor of Chicago.
In 1947, The Soviet Union was one of 33 countries to vote in favour of the United Nation's partition plan for Palestine. Almost immediately after Israel declared its independence on May 14 1948, the Soviet Union offered recognition, along with the United States and other Western powers.
It was not to last. The Soviet Union, as would almost all of its satellites, cut ties with Israel less than five years later.
For the next 35 years, the Soviets pursued largely pro-Arab policies and Israel was a pawn in a much wider game between the US and USSR.

text: Hi, all. Here's another slightly dodgy type system patch that could probably do with review. I thought that I would attack the remaining major type system bug (bug 91, described in BUGS as (subtypep '(or (integer -1 1) unsigned-byte) '(or (rational -1 7) unsigned-byte (integer -1 1))) => NIL, T This I felt was especially bad, as we weren't just expressing uncertainty, we were returning a wrong result. Initial investigations revealed that this was slightly misleading, as in sbcl-0.7.2 (sb-kernel::specifier-type '(or (integer -1 1) unsigned-byte)) is canonicalized to #<NUMERIC-TYPE (INTEGER -1)>. So it's not just simple unions that were the problem. Some of the discussion in the thread referred to in BUG 91 ("bug in type handling") pointed me in the right direction; canonicalization of the other type in the subtypep form above can happen in two ways, depending on whether the union of (rational -1 7) (integer -1 1) or (integer -1 1) unsigned-byte is taken first. This, coupled with the fact that the union :complex-subtypep-arg2 method [ essentially (any/type #'csubtypep type1 (union-type-types type2)) ] was a sufficient but not necessary condition for subtypepness caused us to give wrong results in the above case. So, I've reimplemented union-complex-subtypep-arg2 in a more mathematically correct way. I've commented the (attached) patch fairly carefully, as "mathematically correct" unfortunately doesn't mean "computable". Somewhat unsurprisingly, this change exposed a number of assumptions and infelicities in the rest of the type system :-/. Some notes: The change in cross-type.lisp should probably be dealt with first. At some point in make-host-2, during the compilation of (I think) host-alieneval.lisp, the host tries to work out (subtypep 'null '(or (and null (complex double-float)) (and null (complex single-float)))) Normal canonicalization of intersection types will make the latter type equal to NIL, but as a consequence of another change the cross-compiler couldn't work that out. Unfortunately I can't remember what change it was... The late-type patches, in order: 1. We canonicalize type-union2 earlier when the type system knows that one type is a subset of the other. 2. The next is a FIXME note regarding type-intersection; eq appears not to catch all type specifiers. I haven't investigated this in any more detail. 3. Next, because of some more call-next-methodish invocations, the internals of the type system now can ask complex-subtypep-arg1 whether *wild-type* is subtypep. Therefore, I've removed the averrance, and adjusted the logic in the type method. 4. In the HAIRY intersection method, I've adjusted it to check if the types are equal. This isn't ideal (see 2) but I think it'll do for now. This is necessary (I think) because src/compiler/node.lisp is compiling with a forward reference to a type; see the INFO slot in the definition of the COMPONENT structure. 5. In our brave new world of clever union subtype handling, we also need to be clever about union type=. Again, we previously had a sufficient but not necessary condition (that the union-type-types of the two union types were the same, in some order). Also, we want to avoid returning certainty when we shouldn't, so better return NIL NIL when a union containing a hairy-type is tested for equality. Finally in this hunk we get the meat of the patch (8 lines of code and 25 of comment...) 6. The UNION :intersection2 methods also need a bit of smartening up; in the UNION :subtypep methods, we have used the fact that the complex methods test a UNION type against a non-UNION, and now the averrances catch that, so we ensure that we call only the applicable methods. (Arguably, this might be cleaner if it were split into separate UNION :simple-intersection2 and UNION :complex-intersection2 methods, with the accumulator logic in a separate function. Discuss...) That's all, folks, apart from a request for clarification in src/code/typedefs.lisp and some extra bonus tests! As you can gather from this, there were (again) some nasty surprises along the path; effort and tinkering were required both to get it to compile, and then to get it to be able to compile itself. It has now done both, and I'm reasonably happy with it. Thoughts? Cheers, Christophe PS: Is there any chance of having BUG defined on the host, too? Otherwise failing AVERs during the compilation doesn't print out a helpful message but only "ERROR: undefined function BUG" :-/

Hey Y'all! The bike is running quite well now (well enough that I am going to buy a techlusion box to try to eliminate surge, but that's another thread!)
I have ordered a gear position indicator switch and used swing arm to remedy some of the strong-arm wrenching I did rushing too much over the summer. I have been invited to ride to Alaska so want to make sure the old girl is truly solid...And jeepers that looks that really easy job compared to the transmission/clutch stuff.
HOWEVER...I do have one nasty little issue...
Seems the transmission is leaking when I am doing my low speed handling practice, which is riding the clutch and leaning over a lot at low speed. It seems to not leak, or at least not noticeably, during normal riding. Any suggestions of where it may be leaking? The oil is visible on the front part of the engine under the transmission. It quite visible since I used that bright red Shockproof Heavy.

The hiring of Kyle Flood as Rutgers head football coach may lead to more recruits staying with Rutgers on National Signing Day.
Flood signed to coach Rutgers on Tuesday to replace the departing Greg Schiano, his first opportunity at a head coaching position.
An advantage to the Scarlet Knights keeping Flood in their family is that he knows the area and has strong recruiting contacts in New Jersey, and most players are expected to honor their commitments. According to USA Today, Rutgers ranks 34th in the nation with 17 recruits committed to signing with the team.
Four-star offensive linemen Chris Muller and J.J. Denman and three-star center Brandon Arcidiacono all plan to sign National Letters of Intent on Wednesday's National Signing Day. Arcidiacono said he spoke to the new coach on the phone, and Flood told him, "Everything is going to be fine. Rutgers is still going to be huge,' according to philly.com.
Some of the offensive players' enthusiasm comes because of Flood's record as an offensive line coordinator and coach. According to the New York Daily News, in 2007, Rutgers' offensive line was second in the nation and allowed only 10 sacks. And the Scarlet Knights also became the first team in NCAA history to record a 3,000-yard passer, 2,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same year.
Also, Timber Creek High coach Rob Hinson said that 6-foot-2, 240-pound linebacker Quanzell Lambert is expected to sign with Rutgers. Hinson says the fact that Flood is likely to keep the same coaching staff and practice schedule will figure favorably in Lambert's decision.
The Daily Targum reported that Rutgers had five offensive line verbal commitments before Wednesday. Muller is a U.S. Army All-American, while Denman and the top lineman in New Jersey, Ryan Brodie, are Semper Fidelis All-Americans. Arcidiacono is ranked as the eighth-best center in the nation. And Washington, D.C., lineman Derrick Nelson has also selected Rutgers.
Arcidiacono said, "He's the reason I came to Rutgers."

[0001] I. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates generally to electronic messaging systems, and more particularly, to a pager-based community alerting system for informing subscribers of immediate or impending conditions so that an appropriate response may be made.
[0003] II. Discussion of the Prior Art
[0004] The prior art includes a large number of patents and publications relating to emergency warning systems whereby members of the public can be alerted to such events as dangerous weather conditions, terrorist activities, environmental hazards and the like. The Lemelson et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,084,510 describes a danger warning and emergency response system having an extensive listing of prior art relating to such systems. The apparatus of the Lemelson '510 patent is intended to provide emergency information to large multitudes of persons who may be in harms way. Given the fact that the implementation described in the '510 patent calls for satellites, pilotless aircraft, a downlink to a command center having one or more computers for analyzing received information from the satellites to arrive at a "danger index" as well as a ground base radio broadcasting system, the implementation cost would price the system out of reach of most subscribers.
[0005] The prior art is also replete with systems specifically designed for warning citizens of impending natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy snow and ice storms in an affected geographical area. For example, the Uber et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,633,515 describes an emergency broadcast alert system that comprises a radio receiver referred to as a "scanner" that is designed to lock onto a broadcasted signal in the presence of noise. The receiver then repeatedly scans within a predetermined frequency band, looking for a transmitted signal from the National Weather Service and the receiver then provides an audible alarm so that one would, therefore, have to resort to broadcast television or radio to find out the storm path and expected time of arrival in a given geographical area. Thus, while the Uber system is relatively inexpensive, it lacks a capability to promptly advise a listener of important information relating to a potentially dangerous storm.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,177,873 to Cragun also describes a weather warning system that includes a communication link for receiving transmitted alerts (weather warnings/watches). It also includes a user interface that allows for selection of different geographic areas so that weather conditions affecting areas other than those of interest are filtered out. For proper operation, it is essential that the system be preprogrammed to identify geographical areas and weather intensity parameters. The ability to program the system may exceed the capabilities of many end-users.
[0007] Thus, a need exists for a subscriber-based alerting system that is inexpensive to implement and, thus, well within the budget of most persons occupying houses, apartments and other residential units as well as commercial and government establishments and that requires little or no manual involvement, yet is both versatile and reliable in operation.
[0008] According to the present invention, an electronic messaging system for both emergency and non-emergency events affecting different communities or subscriber groupings comprises a monitoring center for accepting and verifying alerts from authorized agencies. The monitoring center may be coupled through a public switched telephone network or dedicated data network to at least one paging provider network having the ability to broadcast a radio-frequency carrier suitably modulated with information, including addressing data and message data, based upon paging data input from the monitoring center pertaining to an alert. A plurality of physical units are installed in residential, commercial, and government buildings. Each includes a receiver, tunable to the carrier frequency of a paging provider network, a demodulator for recovering the address data and message data sent by the paging terminal, a microprocessor coupled to receive the addressing and message data, where the microprocessor further includes a memory that stores a list of codes pertinent to a particular end user physical unit. The physical units also include a plurality of visual and audible signaling devices that become activated between an off-state, an on-state, or a blinking-state only when received addressing data matches an entry in the physical unit's stored code list. The physical units may also include an alphanumeric display to convey verbiage pertaining to a particular alert.
[0009] In accordance with a further feature of the invention, a graphics icon may be associated with each of the visual indicating devices to readily convey in a non-lingual manner the nature of the alert being sent to occupants viewing the physical unit. For example, the icon may comprise a funnel cloud to represent a tornado warning or an automobile to indicate parking restrictions.
[0010] Various other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, especially when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like numerals in the several views refer to corresponding parts.
[0011]FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of the electronic messaging system comprising a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0012]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of each of the physical units (PU) illustrated in FIG. 1;
[0013]FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the Status & Message Display Module shown in FIG. 2;
[0014]FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of a physical unit showing the layout of visual signaling devices thereon;
[0015]FIG. 5 shows a series of icons used on the unit of FIG. 4; and
[0016]FIG. 6 is a functional flow diagram helpful in understanding the software algorithms used in implementing the system of FIG. 1.
[0017] Referring first to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a system block diagram of the electronic messaging system of the present invention. It comprises a monitoring center 10 that is coupled by a communications link 12 to a paging provider network 14 having transmission equipment for broadcasting information to one or more physical units 16. Virtually many thousands, millions or an unlimited number of physical units 16 may be incorporated into the messaging system contemplated.
[0018] The monitoring center 10 incorporates a computing and communications networking equipment and an operator who may receive a variety of alerts from authorized public and/or private agencies or individuals. The operator at the monitoring center determines the legitimacy of the alert in question. He/she may then contact the paging provider network, sending an alpha and/or numeric message, via a public switched telephone network or data network to the paging transmitter 14 of a licensed paging service provider. The paging transmitter receives, processes, stores and forwards information input by the monitoring center 10 staff who has validated the call by determining the authenticity of the calling agency or individual. An RF transmission system owned by the paging company is often comprised of a plurality of transmitters capable of accepting data from the telephone lines. It should be understood, however, that instead of telephone lines, the communication link 12 may also comprise an RF link, data network or satellite transmission. Upon decoding the alert data, the transmitter translates the paging data into a signal that modulates an RF carrier signal of a desired frequency.
[0019] The physical units 16 are modified versions of commercially available receivers, which can be leased from a paging service provider or purchased through various retailers, and are adapted to receive messages transmitted to it from the pager terminal 14.
[0020] Once the paging transmitter 14 receives a page message from the monitoring center 10, it processes, stores and forwards the information to another paging transmitter through its communications network and/or ultimately on to the physical unit(s) 16. The processing step involves encoding the paging data for transmission through the carrier paging system. Typically, an encoder accepts the incoming paging message, validates the pager address and "encodes" the address and page data into the appropriate paging signaling protocol. Once the page is encoded, it is sent to the RF link system, which includes the link transmitter and link receiver. A link transmitter sends the page to a link receiver, which is located at another paging terminal site along the channel. The transmitters of the paging terminal(s) then broadcast the page across the coverage area on the specified carrier frequency.
[0021] Once data is received from the encoder, the paging protocol employed at the paging transmitter 14 organizes the message into frames of data, which is a specified sized packet of data bits. One popular paging protocol developed by the Motorola Company is referred to as FLEX�. In it there are a total of 128 frames and it takes exactly four minutes to transmit all 128 frames. The FLEX protocol provides a variety of common services, such as message routing, encryption, data compression to enable applications to send messages reliably, securely and efficiently over the communication channel comprising one or more paging terminal(s) 14 to the physical units 16. Other protocols are also available.
[0022] Turning next to FIG. 2, there is shown a block diagram of each of the plurality of physical units 16. The heart of the physical unit 16 is a receiver module 18 coupled to receive the encoded messages transmitted by the pager transmitter 14. Without limitation, the receiver 18 may be a Motorola Type LS350, which is operatively coupled to a microprocessor 20, preferably a microchip Type TMP86FS41 Flash-based 8-bit CMOS microcontroller. While this microcontroller is not the only commercially-available unit that can be used, its architecture provides a 16-bit wide instruction word with separate 8-bit wide data buses. A two-stage instruction pipeline allows all instructions to execute in a single cycle except for programmed branches. It incorporates a large register set that can be used to achieve very high performance. As such, it is well suited to use in home appliances, consumer electronics and hand-held electronics. Because of its wide application, it has a relatively low cost, making it a good choice for use in the present invention.
[0023] The microprocessor-based controller 20 is connected in controlling relation to a status & message display module 22. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the status & message display driver 22 and it preferably comprises a microcontroller 24 that is connected to data lines 26 and 28 by way of a data interface comprising NPN transistor switches 30 and 32, respectively.
[0024] The microcontroller 24, preferably a PIC 16F62 microcontroller, is especially designed to function as a display driver and its outputs are connected through current limiting resistors, as at 34, to visual signaling devices, here shown as LEDs 36-48. Ten of these LEDs (36-45) are used to convey alert message information to an observer while the remaining three (46-48) provide information as to the operating status of the system. One of the status indicators 46 is illuminated as long as alternating current power is being applied to the physical unit. A second indicator, 47, may be used to indicate the charge status of the back-up battery used in the system and the remaining status indicator 48 may be used to indicate that the system is disabled because, for example, a subscriber has not paid the monthly charge for the alerting service. An alpha readout 49 could also be included in addition to the visual signaling devices to provide further information to the end user.
[0025] Certain emergency conditions may require immediate action on the part of a subscriber. For example, a tornado warning may take place at a time that a subscriber is sleeping or otherwise out of visual contact with the physical unit. For this reason, an audible signaling device termed a siren is also included in the physical unit as represented by block 50 in FIG. 2. The issuance of an audible signal by the system results in the subscriber moving to a position to visually examine the physical unit's display panel to become advised of the nature of the alert.
[0026] To provide a more observable visual indication that a physical unit has received an alert message, a "visual enhancer" in the form of a flashing light bar, star or other pattern is provided as represented by block 52 in FIG. 2. In implementing block 52, the same type of display driver as is implemented in the Status & Message display 22 can be used. Upon receipt of an alarm-enable, the PIC 16 F62 microcontroller executes a program causing a plurality of light-emitting diodes that are physically arranged in a desired pattern to blink on and off either in synchronism or sequentially so as to create the illusion of movement. A subscriber noticing the flashing pattern would then approach the physical unit and view the particular alert message(s) being displayed by the visual signaling devices (LEDs) 36-45. The microcontroller 20 is also coupled to a set of contacts to control the operation of remotely located devices such as, but not limited to horns, light flashers, and vibrating devices as represented by block 54 in FIG. 2. Thus, in a commercial or industrial installation, an audible/visual signaling device located in a building remote from the physical unit itself can be actuated by an appropriate message picked up by the receiver 18 and processed by the microcontroller 20. The sounding or flashing device has its own power source that becomes connected to it when a "remote set" signal from microcontroller 20 actuates appropriate relay contacts (not shown). Those relay contacts become reset or reopened upon receipt of a remote-rst signal from the microcontroller 20.
[0027] It has also been found expedient to provide a historical memory in the physical unit itself for recording the time and date and type of alert events received by the physical unit in question. The historical memory is represented by block 56 and preferably may comprise an Electrically Erasable PROM memory such as a Type 24LC16B device. It has 16 kilobits, organized as eight blocks of 256� 8-bit memory. Those skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that other commercially available memory devices can be used as well.
[0028] With continued reference to FIG. 2, provision is made for manually resetting a physical unit following receipt of an alert message. The only end user input/control for the physical unit is a push-button momentary contact switch which when depressed causes a signal to be applied to the reset (RST) input to the receiver 18 and a /RST input to microcontroller 20 and selected inputs of the status & message display 22, the audible alarm 50 and the remote switch 54.
[0029] The central power module 57 (FIG. 2) comprises a full wave rectifier for converting AC line power to a DC voltage as well as conventional integrated circuit voltage regulators for providing the requisite operating voltages for the receiver 18, the CPU 20 and the circuits 22, 52, 54 and 56 shown in the system block diagram of FIG. 2. The central power 57 also includes a DC battery backup which takes over in the event of AC line power failure. A 9 volt battery fits into a compartment that is wired so as to render the compartment polarity insensitive. As such, it matters not which way the battery is inserted in the compartment. This avoids system malfunction in the event of an AC power failure if a subscriber had improperly inserted the battery into a battery compartment that has not been so wired as to be polarity insensitive.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a front perspective view of a physical unit 16 showing the layout of visual and audible signaling devices thereon. It comprises a box-like housing 56 in which printed circuit boards (not shown) carrying the circuitry depicted in the block diagram of FIG. 2 reside. The alert message visual signaling devices 36-45 may be arranged in a horizontal row while the status visual indicators 46, 47 and 48 may be grouped separately and may be arranged in a vertical pattern on the housing 56. The audible alarm (siren) 50 is disposed behind the top cover with an aperture through which the sound is emitted. The reset button 60 for the system reset block 62 in FIG. 2 also projects through an aperture formed in the housing 56 and is an integral part of the top overlay so as to be accessible to the subscriber.
[0031] The "visual enhancer" light array, as at 62, may also be provided. The on/off state of the individual LEDs is controlled by the microprocessor 20, which is adapted to send a signal over line 64 in FIG. 2 to the block 52 labeled Alarm Display. The LEDs in the array 62 are shown as being arranged in a star-shaped pattern, but other patterns may be used as well. By causing the array 76 to blink on and off at a desired rate, the fact that a message has been received by the physical unit 16 can readily be discerned whereby the subscriber can then more closely examine the physical unit and note which one(s) of the message indicators 36-45 has (have) been activated.
[0032] To render the nature of an alert condition more understandable, in accordance with the present invention, a suitable icon is associated with and possibly overlaid upon each of the message indicators. FIG. 5 illustrates only a few of the possible icons that may be applied over their associated LEDs so as to become illuminated when a particular alert event is being transmitted to the physical unit. In FIG. 5, icon A can be associated with, say, LED 36 in FIG. 3 to thereby indicate receipt of a tornado alert from the paging station. Icon B in FIG. 5 can be made overlay the LED 37 in FIG. 3, which then becomes illuminated when the alert condition being transmitted is a severe thunderstorm. Likewise, icon C may be associated with LED 38 to signal a snowstorm or blizzard. Icon D in FIG. 5 can be positioned over LED 39 to indicate a school closing alert. By controlling the LED 39, it can be made to blink to indicate a two-hour delay or it may remain on steadily to indicate an all day closing. Similarly, icon E representing a school bus may overlay the LED 40 to signal that buses are running late.
[0033] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the icons presented in FIG. 4 are somewhat arbitrary and are provided only as an example of how a particular alert being transmitted to the unit 16 is to be interpreted. Further information on the severity or urgency of a particular alert can be conveyed by a judicious choice of LED color for the message indicators.
[0034] Assume that an authorized individual or agency wishes to issue an alert to all subscribers residing in a given geographical area. The address code broadcast by the paging station may be based upon postal zip codes, which consume only five (or nine depending on the degree of localization desired) digits out of the total number of digits used. This leaves ample capacity for storing additional code digits for further defining particular subscriber physical units and alert types to which given physical unit 16 can be responsive.
[0035] The present invention also has the capability to issue and display multiple types of alerts simultaneously. For example, in the case of a snow storm in a particular area, an alert for the storm itself, and a school closing occasioned by the storm can be simultaneously displayed. The capability also exists for one physical unit 16 to be located in multiple physical or logical zones. For example, one physical unit could be part of weather zone 1 and school zone 1. A different physical unit could also be a part of weather zone 1 but reside in school zone 2. It is also possible to program a physical unit residing in weather zone 1 to respond to alerts for both weather zone 1 and weather zone 7, even if weather zone 7 is physically separate by geographical distance. Logical groups of common interest can also be alerted simultaneously, regardless of their geographic distance from one another. For example, members of the armed forces could reside in geographically disperse areas but could be considered as one logical group.
[0036] Having described the apparatus involved in implementing the present invention, consideration will next be given to its mode of operation. In this regard, reference is made to the flow diagram of FIG. 6, which is illustrative of the algorithm executed by the hardware. Referring to block 66, an event occurs or a condition develops that requires the notification of an individual or group of individuals or a group of people having physical units 16 and subscribing to the alerting service. An authorized party, such as the National Weather Service, the State Patrol, a school district superintendent or a city official initially determines at decision block 68 whether the event is of a nature requiring notification to subscribers. If so, the authorized individual contacts the monitoring center 10 by a voice telephone call, fax message, e-mail, etc. (block 70). Notification in all cases will consist of the type of event or condition that exists, which may be an emergency or non-emergency. The notification will also specify the physical or logical area to be covered. Examples of an emergency event may include severe weather conditions, an environmental disaster or the like. A non-emergency event may be the existence of a lawn sprinkling ban to conserve water, delayed school openings and periodic system tests that are regularly scheduled and issued automatically by the monitoring center for the purpose of performing a non-intrusive end to end test of the system. System tests can be performed on a per physical unit basis, a group by group basis, or globally to include all units.
[0037] A determination is made at decision block 72 to verify that the caller is authorized to initiate the type of alert to be issued. If the caller does not have the proper level of authorization, he is so advised and no alert is issued (block 74).
[0038] If, on the other hand, the individual calling the monitoring center is authorized to issue a particular alert, the monitoring center dials the appropriate pager number(s), or accesses the paging service provide via a data network (block 76). It should be recalled at this point that all of the physical units 16 contain paging receivers 18 that are preprogrammed to respond to the same CAP code. All of the physical units will, therefore, receive all messages sent from the paging station 14 that are associated with that paging telephone number, whether it is intended that those particular physical units are to respond or not. The determination as to whether or not a particular physical unit should respond is made by comparing the incoming signal data stream and the data base which resides in the physical unit, looking for a match as a result of the comparison.
[0039] A test is made at decision block 78 as to whether the monitoring center has received a pager tone or data connection confirmation and, if not, control loops back over line 80 causing the monitoring center to redial the pager number or reconnect the data network until the test at decision block 78 is satisfied. At this point, the monitoring center inputs the appropriate data such as, but not limited to a 16 decimal digit code (block 82). This code represents a combination of whether or not one or more of the physical units 16 should respond to the input code and the manner in which the response is to be made. To include a single physical unit, the unit's unique address would be sent along with the data stream instructing the unit as to how to respond. To address multiple units simultaneously, the use of "wild card" characters would be used to indicate all users of a particular sub group. For example, if the address data of each unit was nine characters long, wild card characters in place of digits six through nine would alert all units matching the first five digits irrespective of what the last four digits were. The use of wild card characters for all nine digits would equate to all units, therefore all unit would respond to the following string of data which would convey exactly how the physical unit should respond.
[0040] It is to be recalled at this point that all of the physical units 16 are preprogrammed with a list of one or more codes to which they will respond. All physical units are also preprogrammed with instructions as to how they should respond to a given code that matches one on their list, e.g., visual signal only, audible signal only, both visual and audible signals, whether the remote contacts should be actuated, etc. Furthermore, multiple codes can be stacked on an individual physical unit meaning, for example, that a visual indication indicative of severe weather and sound can be turned on simultaneously when a test light also has been turned on.
[0041] A test is made at decision block 84 to determine whether the physical units receive the code from the paging transmitter and, if not, control again passes over line 80 causing the monitoring center to again redial the pager number. If, however, the code was properly received, the subscriber unit responds appropriately to the notification. The subscriber's attention is captured by the flashing "visual enhancer" 62 and by the individual visual signaling LEDs and/or sound output. Their focus is then brought to the individual light(s) that are illuminated. The screening which overlays the individual lights bearing the icons serves to indicate what the particular light represents. Additional information may be communicated via an alpha display screen 49 as well.
[0042] If the subscriber desires to cancel the notification, he or she can depress the user interface button 60 and if the physical unit's programming allows, shut off the light and/or sound. It is be understood, however, that certain notifications are not able to be reset by the end-user and will require cancellation from the monitoring center via the same process used in which they were individually actuated, it being understood that a different code is employed to terminate a notification.
[0043] This invention has been described herein in considerable detail in order to comply with the patent statutes and to provide those skilled in the art with the information needed to apply the novel principles and to construct and use such specialized components as are required. However, it is to be understood that the invention can be carried out by specifically different equipment and devices, and that various modifications, both as to the equipment and operating procedures, can be accomplished without departing from the scope of the invention itself

Product description
Terry John Woods and his incredible Needham House, nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, inspire readers to create a farmhouse style in their own home using antiques, folk art and everyday objects. Needham House, an 1820s farmhouse nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, is artist Terry John Woods' beloved home - and it's the canvas on which he works out his design ideas. Here, Woods has reinvented his family homestead while adding visual and tactile pleasure to every part of the house and garden. His eclectic, mix-and-match sensibility is unafraid to combine the finely polished with the charmingly weathered, the treasured heirloom with the just-discovered flea market find. It's an approach that invites you to use your own interpretation of light, colour, texture and form to assemble an environment that showcases your personal style. Apartment dwellers, suburban homeowners and those lucky enough to possess their own rural retreats will be equally inspired by Woods' farmhouse and by his reflections on a way of living that embraces the moment, comforts the body and kindles the spirit.

Mel's Diner
Mel′s Diner is the setting for the 1976−1985 American TV series Alice. It is a fictional roadside diner on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona, that serves locals and truckers. It has a counter, two large booths and a couple of tables. Although one of the three waitresses, Alice, is the main character, the show revolves around all of the waitresses and Mel Sharples, the owner and cook. Most scenes of the show take place in the diner as well. The diner setting is so intertwined with the show that the series itself is often referred to erroneously as "Mel's Diner".
The outside shot of the diner's sign with the giant coffee cup sometimes seen in the opening credits of Alice is of a real Mel's Diner (1747 NW Grand Avenue) in Phoenix.[1] The sign was seen by a producer scouting Phoenix for an establishing shot. It had been "Chris' Diner" but the owner agreed to change the name to "Mel's" for the show and is called the same to this day.
In Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the movie on which the series Alice was based, the restaurant is called "Mel & Ruby's Cafe" located in Tucson, Arizona.[2]

I had to go to youtube to read the video description. This is what the person posted in the description. "**TO CLARIFY!**
I have had nothing to do with Imperial Horses Ltd, nor is it me riding/videoing or any other connection to this 'company' - I simply have reuploaded the video for proof for the authorities" There were also links to a facebook page, a website, and another youtube video that doesn't work. I'm assuming they all belong to this group called "Imperial Horses."

Former OU coach Sampson to interview with Rockets
Coaching candidates, Rockets to start talking
Sampson, Elie, Sikma, Woodson first interviewees

Photo By Darron Cummings/APBucks assistant coach Kelvin Sampson, left, served as head coach at Indiana and Oklahoma before moving to the NBA.
The opening stages of the Rockets' coaching search began to take shape Monday, with several initial interviews scheduled and others placed on hold pending the results of the NBA playoffs' first round.
Milwaukee assistant coach Kelvin Sampson, who served as head coach at Indiana and Oklahoma before moving to the NBA, is expected to meet with Rockets general manager Daryl Morey Tuesday.
Rockets assistant coach Jack Sikma and former Rockets forward Mario Elie, who has been an assistant with Sacramento, Golden State and San Antonio, will interview Wednesday.
Former Atlanta coach Mike Woodson, a former Rockets player who still lives in Katy, is expected to meet with Morey on Thursday.
Morey has received permission to speak with many assistant coaches still involved in the playoffs but will seek to work around the first-round schedule. The Rockets have expressed interest in Memphis' Dave Joeger, Dallas' Dwane Casey, Boston's Lawrence Frank and San Antonio's Mike Budenholzer. Morey also has shown interest in Los Angeles Clippers assistant Dean Demopoulos.
The Rockets also are interested in former Cleveland coach Mike Brown, but no interview is scheduled.

After Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, President Bush promised to "do what it takes" to bring swift relief to the devastated areas and help storm victims rebuild their homes and their lives.
But, two years later, an ABC News investigation has found that the main government program designed to bring Louisianans home and help them rebuild is in big trouble. Tens of thousands of Katrina victims in the state have yet to receive any money from the Road Home grant program -- and it's not clear if some of them ever will.
For many of the 184,000 Katrina victims who put their hopes in the grant program, the Road Home has been paved with insult, frustration and bureaucracy. Only 44,000 checks have been distributed, and the director of Louisiana's disaster recovery unit warns that some 60,000 families may not get paid at all unless the state gets billions more in federal aid.
"It's been a nightmare," said Brenda Chipanelli, whose home was destroyed during the storm. Chipanelli and her husband, Chip, applied for Road Home grants to repair their house, but have not received any money from the program despite numerous phone calls, e-mails and visits to the program offices.
But while the Chipanellis and many others like them struggle to rebuild their homes, the private contractor that administers the Road Home program has been doing just fine. ICF International has been paid $300 million so far to administer the grants.
The company's top three executives were paid more than $2 million in bonuses last year.
"I'm concerned that New Orleans is running out of time," Chipanelli said. "I'm sorry, we need the money for the city. I mean, we really do."
Bureaucratic Delays
The Chipanellis told ABC News that they have been subject to endless delays and forced to jump through dozens of bureaucratic hoops to get the Road Home grant money. Brenda Chipanelli said she faced 60 steps required by Road Home, including having her photograph and fingerprints taken – which many call insulting. Under pressure from critics, the program has reduced the number of procedural steps applicants must take to 42.
They received a promising letter from Road Home in January, but still have not received any money. Even more aggravating, with no apparent explanation, the Chipanellis' next door neighbors Mike and Jan Simms applied for a grant months after they did and have already been given money.
"They're a swell couple. It's a heartbreak just to see them go through the anxiety," Mike Simms said.
The Chipanellis have visited Road Home offices numerous times, once accompanied by ABC News, and have kept pages and pages of records of their phone calls and e-mail exchanges with the program administrators -- all to no avail.
"A lot of the people in the office, it's like dealing with children," said Chip Chipanelli. "You know, you ask this guy he points to this guy. It's like when you come home and one of your kids knocks the vase over."
Mike Taylor, director of Louisiana's disaster recovery unit, said the Road Home program has been inundated with about 50 percent more applications than originally expected. He said the program was getting on track and that the bottleneck is now clear.
"We are working as hard and as fast as we can to improve the program and get the dollars out there faster," he said.

British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.
He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989.
British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.
He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989.
Irving is an antisemitic Holocaust-denying asshole, but being an antisemitic Holocaust-denying asshole should not be punishable by three years in jail. Freedom of speech ought to apply to everyone — even to cranks, criminals, nutjobs, and racists. No topic should be taboo.
To me, European laws prohibiting hate speech are fundamentally immoral.
(FWIW, most of my friends had family members perish in the Holocaust. Yet I still defend anyone's right to deny their murders.)
I can see why Germany and Austria had those laws after WWII, but that was over sixty years ago. andin general, I agree with t.
On the one hand it's kind of viscerally nice to see Irving get it in the neck, but on the other it shouldn't be happening, period. Especially right now, what with the Danish cartoons.
Just wait til the EU decries descriptions of priests gorging themselves on meth and boyflesh while ejaculating Olympian ropes of curdled jizm on elderly vampire nuns inclined to beastiality as Hate Speech, Ellis!!!
Then we'll see who laughs last!
Cum-toilet or not, 3 years imprisonment for horrid historical research and/or expressing an opinion is a bit much.
Couldn't they have just made him watch the Mind Of Mencia DVD box set?
'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'
– Voltaire (attributed)
I wonder what Spider Jerusalem would have to say about all this.
Antisemitic anal probe or not, 3 years for expressing a view (a rather misguided view) about history? I look forward to our future doom…
Now if we could just get people to stop buying Ford Motor Company Products and IBM equipment as well.
Almost precisely what you were craving a while back, Sir Ellis. Thought it might be of interest.
Also, "the Holocaust of European Jewry" is perhaps the most awkward and unmarketable title for a historical event that I have ever seen. o.O
Poor mr. Irving, going to jail for his beliefs, just like Michael Regener and Ian Stuart…
(google them)
I googled for Michael Regener and Ian Stuart; they appear to be a Neo-Nazi and a bridal designer. Good fucking riddance to both of them.
I'll defend this man's right to free speech, but not his right to police protection.
Spread your filthy bullshit around, don't be surprised when large crowds castrate you and sell your withered genitalia to the Tibetans.
