Fallon's hair is extra-red for this redux stills shoot. Did you know that Fallon can lick her own nipples? Let her show you. She'll also show you a great picture of her clit with the hood pulled back. Thanks Flatspin for the liquid filled dildo. It's the same colour as Fallon's hair. Here are more details about the Dildo Drive.
Enjoy the special fortnight edition of the Video Newsletter released last week before the holidays. It's extra long and extra good.
This softly-rounded blond girl has it all - a great rack, nice bum, pubic hair, and of course her pretty blond hair. Dennie slides down her undies and spreads her pussy lips so you can get a good look inside.
Elana looks likes she's done this before. Intimate Moments videos are where the model masturbates in a room by herself. Elana seems very comfortable masturbating and knows just what to do to get herself off. She ends up with a powerful orgasm for her efforts.
How would you like to start a list of your favourite models or favourite photos? Lists can be public for everyone to see, or kept private just for yourself. The ten newest lists are always posted on the News page.
Astrid E looks sexy in a tight tank top and jeans shorts. She's got blond hair, freckles, and boobs with inverted nipples. Check this cute girl out.
Fotina & Sahara do lots of heavy kissing and fondling of tits. Fotina's favourite thing about Sahara is the way she gives head. Sahara's got a special technique of oscillating her head left to right as she's giving it that Fotina can't get enough of. Watch them pee on video and have fun doing it.
Recently Melita posted a photo of her nudie run down an alley way in the city. A very brave and sexy thing to do. She also sent some topless photos from her bedroom.
Fotina & Sahara are all over each other in their lust. Their fingers explore every centimetre of the other's body. Sahara's pendulous boobs are a special sexy treat. Near the end of the shoot the girls head outdoors to pee in the garden which was a great success. See close-ups of their peeholes while they take a piss.
There are loads of hot models in this week's Backstage 180. Too many to mention them all but here's a sampling. There's Ava, Rosalie & Celina, Paula, and Annette P. You can see what they were doing behind the scenes between the camera clicks.
Penny's hanging out in the office on this holiday week, so she had the time to post a few new photos of herself looking marvelous.
Yesterday I told you about using the Sitemap page to look up the models by name. Another cool feature of that page is the chart at the top enumerating the amount of photos on the site (more than a quarter million), and the number of models (1,342) at this writing. That should keep you busy for a while!
Rashina has done a lotion video for us. She liberally applies the creamy lotion all over her body. Her substantial nipples get a good amount of rubbing, as does her firm little bum and pubic area.
Anessa's a girl who loves the beach. She also likes to dance, but she needs to do some stretches first because her jeans are so tight. Anessa has nice red polka-dot bikini, but it's even nicer when it comes off. Watch Anessa dance topless for you.
For an alphabetical listing of all of the models on the site, plus an overview of all of its pages, have a look at the Sitemap page. There's loads of information to be found there.
Amelie's an instant classic with her soft brown hair, pearly white teeth, and lacy white bra. Not to mention her good handful of boobs, and her thick luxurious pubes.
In Portia's video, she shows us how to do stretches for flexibility and as an exercise warm-up. After Portia's naked down to the skin, she shows us where her clitoris is, and explains the way she thinks you should go down on someone. For more of Portia, check out her Deviations shoot when she plays her flute on video. You'll fall in love with her.
Redux means "brought back" or "returned". That's just what we have on Wednesdays - two previous models brought back for another shoot.
Evangeline is a popular model on the forums. She has returned for this colourful outdoor still image and video shoot. Evangeline has her sexiest underwear on, but she's taking it off and spreading her legs for you. Have a good long look.
In this Intimate Moments video, Kara-Lee & Tricia massage their breasts, then get out of their shorts to slip their hands down into their knickers. Once they're fully nude, they slide their fingers inside themselves and rub in and out until they both have come.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from everyone here at abbywinters.com.
Cici is a Peruvian goddess who's come to visit Australia. She has great boobs and even greater nipples. When Cici masturbates she likes to take it slowly for the most erotic feeling. She'll demonstrate her technique on her video.
When curly-haired Hermione E sticks her bum out, or up in the air, it's a beautiful sight. She's a flexible girl too - able to get those sexy legs behind her head while nude. Dressing Room photos are included, and while you're having a look at this smiley redux model, check out her earlier set also.
This week, a special fortnight edition of the Video Newsletter. Petria and her model buddies are at the beach to tell you about all of the still image and video sets coming up over the holidays. Contained in the newsletter is a coupon code that will allow you to get a discount when you join up.
Whether Theona's in her shirt, bra, or naked, she likes to play with her boobs. After her pink skirt is shed, she finds a nice pussy to spread and enjoy, and a softly rounded arse to show off.
While laying on her tummy in this Intimate Moments video, Patience snakes her hand down into her pants. Then off comes her bra and her large boobs are free. She's got to get out of those restrictive pants to really get some action going. How many orgasms will Patience have?
Not only is Patience a model, she's one of our full time staffers! She's a videographer, and she's coming to Las Vegas with us in January... as is her sister Susie (also a model, and also a staffer!). You're invited to join us!
Cleo has blessed us with some sexy photos from home on the boards this week. Some with bare boobies on this page, and some with fancy undies over here.
Rashina is an exotic-looking girl from Thailand. She has big, long, dark nipples. Just imagine Rashina in a wet t-shirt contest!
At the onset of Chloe B & Gabrielle's videos, they hope they can make each other come more than once. They needn't have worried since they had 5 orgasms between the two of them. Chloe's beautiful big pillow boobs are a treasure and she comes powerfully when she's eaten out. Gabrielle has a great body and had no trouble coming multiple times under Chloe's expert tongue.
Our DVD movies for sale are on this special page. You can view video trailers of our latest releases, and shop online for your favourite choices, whether girl-girl or Intimate Moments.
Chloe B & Gabrielle make love on a red sofa that almost matches Gabrielle's hair. Gabrielle just loves Chloe's enormous boobs and gives them lots of attention. Then she focuses of Chloe's pussy and gives it a good licking. Gabrielle is the lucky recipient of the same treatment, and both girls come away satisfied.

time for some fun!!!09 Jan 2012, by Made By Survivors Programs in
On December 22nd, Made by Survivors organized an excursion for the shelter home girls in appreciation of their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It was time to let them unwind and enjoy the spices of city life, an experience beyond their worlds.
The 13 girls were divided into 4 groups of 3 with one member from the Made by Survivors management guiding each group. Paul, Doel, Soma and I took charge to give the girls a day to remember in this festive Christmas season. I like to use the word 'guided' and not lead because here at Made by Survivors we thrive on the motto of helping each other and share our knowledge- there is no boss here. The day started with the girls glued to the television sets watching The Wizard of Oz. It was quite a heartwarming experience for me personally to see the girls captivated by the movie even though they did not understand the language.
Feelings and emotions rise above words and language and how I appreciate that fact so much more now having witnessed the girls watch an English movie with a wide grin and glittering eyes. Post the movie, we decided to go to South City mall. It was Christmas and given the common Bengali's zeal for celebration during this time of the year, South City mall promised some extravagance and lively footfalls. Sure enough, the complex was brimming with life, more than on an ordinary day.
The decorations were ornate-Santa Claus, tufts of cotton hung from the ceiling to emulate the Christmas snow, chiming bells and a whole lot more. It had the girls awestruck and Christmas was indeed becoming merrier for them. We took the girls to Mainland China for a lunch buffet. Most of them have not had the privilege to dine in a high end restaurant reserved for the elite clientele. We wanted them to experience this side of life that day. They were quite surprised at the concept of "eat all you can". It was quite a sight to see the girls dig in and enjoy their food like never before. I guess it makes me sentimental even as I write. I think it would have alleviated my hunger even if I did not eat that day just to see the joy in the faces of the girls. Lunch ended with some delicious food and some really mouthwatering desserts. It left me quite immobile but the girls were just full of energy. They were really enjoying themselves to the fullest. Our next stop was Timezone which is a gaming parlor in South City mall.
The girls like before were divided into groups. They were highly excited to see the parlour. Basket ball, bowling, car and bike racing were their favorites. Even the girls who are considered to be adults, behaved like kids craving to play more and more. Seeing their enthusiasm, even we participated in full swing! What I observed and liked about this girls is the team work that they have nurtured over the months. Each of them would give others a chance to play. When Anjali won a chocolate in one of the games, she immediately shared it with her friends confirming to the kind of togetherness that they share. To see themselves being in the same podium as the other kids, it really boosted up their self – confidence and self-respect. We ended the day with some fun chit chat and each group took the girls home in a cab. It was a day the girls found a new life….a lighter side of life. I have been to South City a gazillion times, but I don't think I enjoyed myself with anyone else as I did with the girls on this day. It was a thoroughly enriching and unique experience. I feel lucky to have shared these moments with these girls who have not had the privilege of living the comfortable life.
P.S. Special thanks to Paul who planned this entire day!! He is now known as Uncle Santa among the girls!

MADISON Brian S. Johnson, a City of Jefferson resident, was convicted and sentenced today in Jefferson County Circuit Court for failing to remove asbestos before demolishing buildings and a second count of illegal open burning. Judge Jackie Rohloff Erwin accepted the plea agreement of the parties and sentenced Mr. Johnson to a 20 day jail sentence.
According to the criminal complaint, Johnson purchased the old County farm and nursing home from Jefferson County in March 2005. Johnson hired contractors to renovate, demolish, and burn buildings on site. A number of agricultural buildings were demolished without first removing asbestos from the buildings and then burning them in violation of Wisconsin's asbestos and burning regulations.
Johnson was charged criminally because his violations were intentional. Mr. Johnson was placed on notice when he purchased the property that various buildings contained asbestos which would need to be removed before they were demolished. In addition, Johnson was advised by various government officials that he could not burn the demolition debris. Despite these warnings, Johnson intentionally demolished and burned the buildings with the asbestos in place.
Johnson subsequently lost the property to foreclosure and the site is being cleaned up by the latest purchaser.
The violations were detected by the Watertown Health inspector performing asbestos inspections for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with the follow up investigation being completed by the DNR. The DNR referred the case to the Attorney General and the case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Steven Tinker.

About Me Advanced
I added these stomp pads to my brand-new board and the second time I went boarding they fell off. It was 10 degF at the time but still shouldn't just fall off. Very disappointed with the product as I nearly broke my leg coming off the lift.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In a totally predictable Hollywood move, apparently Mischa Barton has been told to drop the poundage. Fresh out of rehab for addiction problems and straight back onto the set of a new show about supermodels – which is bound to make anyone feel pretty insecure – Britain's Star magazine is claiming that bosses are demanding the fragile actress get "in shape" and drop 10lb.
"She knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back. She knows she is heavier than she needs to be," says a source.
Call us woefully naive, but wouldn't it be nice to see a healthy-sized Mischa appear just how she is on a show that's clearly going to be all about body image? Just so it can have a dose of – what do you call it again – actual reality? [Photo: Getty Images]

Tip: Use Heavier Stock Paper For Resumes & Cover Letters
From a study conducted by MIT researchers, how the objects we handle affect the decisions we make:
Consider the clipboard test. Ackerman, Nocera and Bargh asked 54 people to scrutinize a job candidate by looking at a resume placed on either light or heavy boards. The people using heavy clipboards viewed the candidate as possessing a "more serious interest" in the job opening than those holding the resume on lighter clipboards.
Your takeaway: Use a heavier stock paper (not generic copy or printer paper) when sending printed resumes. Try 24 lb. weight paper, you can find it at office supply stores, to make your resume – and you – stand out from the crowd.

Doctors warn of emergency created by Medicaid cuts
Elderly poor likely to suffer from budget change
Doctors visiting the Capitol are warning lawmakers that their cuts to the Medicaid program are creating a health care emergency for the elderly poor.
Members of the Texas Medical Association on Tuesday said budget cuts in 2011 hurt people known as dual-eligibles. These are people old enough to qualify for Medicare and poor enough to qualify for Medicaid.
In 2011, lawmakers stopped Medicaid from paying the $140 Medicare deductible for these people and reduced the amount of money paid to doctors for providing services. The Medicaid cut affected 320,000 elderly.
Lawmakers restored the deductibles in 2013, but are still reimbursing doctors at a lower rate. The cuts forced many doctors to stop accepting patients who rely on Medicaid and Medicare. Doctors want lawmakers to fully restore the payments.

By timhallpoly from USA on 2010-12-11 05:32:56Things I liked:The concept of having one gun with multiple air power sources for very different conditions is fantastic. I could use HP air from a scuba tank for hunting, and lower pressure but more stable CO2 for competition shooting.
Things I would have changed:Unfortunately, when I went to put concept to practice, the tank appeared to be empty. So I took it to a paintball shop to get it charged. The tech told me the tank was full, but the tank valve was defective. So I contacted Pyramid Air and arranged for a replacement. Despite having to send back my original 12 oz. CO2 tank for having a defective valve, and receiving a replacement, after just a few rounds out of the new tank, the replacement tank has now gone toes-up, and refuses to deliver any of its ample supply of CO2 to my AirForce Condor. Both CO2 bottles arrived at my home well-packed, and without any sign of mishandling, so I must assume there is a bad batch of valves. So, what would I change? I would like to see a higher quality valve. Don't use me and my valuable time to quality control your products.
What others should know:I doubt I will send this second defective CO2 system back, because I would likely receive a replacement which I have NO CONFIDENCE IN. I have already spent much more than the purchase price running around trying to identify and fix the problem, as well as having to sit out two competition days. For other shooters thinking of getting the CO2 conversion, I suggest you purchase the AirForce valve by itself, and get a high quality CO2 tank from a local source. You are going to need to use a local source to charge the tanks, so you might as well start out a relationship by purchasing a tank from them, which they can service on-sight.

Jason Alvey, who runs specialty beer and liquor store The Four Firkens, will try to persuade lawmakers to let he and other liquor stores open on Sundays.
Alvey argues the ban on Sunday sales is outdated and should be repealed.
However, not everyone agrees.
The Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association, along with other liquor store owners, say opening on Sundays would simply pull sales from other days and increase operating costs.
Alvey disagrees and says those who oppose Sunday sales don't have to open seven days a week if a bill, sponsored by Senator Jeremy Miller, becomes law and repeals the ban. Instead, Alvey says liquor store owners could open on Sundays, reap financial rewards, and close on Mondays when he says sales are generally much slower.
Alvey estimates closing on Sundays reduces business between ten and 15%.
Alvey is scheduled to testify in front of the Senate Commerce committee Monday afternoon.
The Senate Commerce Committee was expected Monday to discuss the measure, but wasn't planning to take a vote. Sen. Roger Reinert, a Duluth Democrat, introduced the bill earlier this month. The committee will also discuss a host of other alcohol-related bills.
Sunday liquor store sales come up every year at the Capitol, but have found little success. Reinert tried the same bill in 2011, but it stalled after passing one committee.
Minnesota is one of 12 states that still outlaw Sunday liquor sales. All of Minnesota's neighboring states allow it.
Reinert's bill would also allow liquor stores to open on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The four 400sm semi-detached houses form part of a row of substantial properties that showcase the 400-unit Accordia development for Countryside Properties, currently shortlisted for the 2008 Stirling Prize. Inspired by the array of eccentric villas along Brooklands Avenue, the houses provide a flexible open plan layout with internal spaces varying in height and orientation within the envelope defined by FCB Architects' high density, sustainable masterplan.
The Salt House is a rare example of a contemporary UK sea-side house. Described by The Guardian's Architecture critic Jonathan Glancey as "one of the best new houses in Britain today", the building has been hailed as a prototype for flood-proof residential construction and reinvents the Modernist tradition of the 'experimental' beach house. In 2006 the project won the Grand Designs Award for the Best New Build House of the Year and in 2008 was awarded the 2007 RIBA Manser Medal.

Top 10: The best views in Bath
Posted: January 31, 2014|
So what IS the best view in Bath?
It's a subject discussed every week in our My Bath question and answer slot. And in a city with dozens of breath-taking vantage points, there's no shortage of choice.
Here is the Chronicle's best stab at a top ten - in no particular order. But what do YOU reckon?
* Alexandra Park: A serious contender for the number one spot, we feel, and offering panoramic views of the north of the city. Makes Bath something of a train set, too, with plenty of opportunity to watch 125s come and go.
* Camden: The view from Camden Crescent and Camden Road is certainly impressive, although, sadly the one from nearby Perfect View is now less so, thanks to tree growth.
* The Royal Crescent from Royal Victoria Park: Stunning, particularly in the early morning, and a firm favourite with overseas tourists. Impressionist-turned-TV presenter Rory Bremner rated it the best view in Bath when he filmed the series Great British Views last year.
* Prior Park: Any view that includes the Palladian bridge in the gardens has to be a contender.
* Sydney Gardens: The Holburne Museum's much-talked-about extension will catch the eye (and the light) if you walk through Sydney Gardens towards Great Pulteney Street.
* The Circus: Designed by John Wood the Elder in 1754 and completed in 1768 by his son John Wood the Younger, this is another tourist hotspot, and one described by architectural historian Dan Cruickshank as one of Britain's five best buildings.
* Pulteney Bridge from Grand Parade: A world-beating eyeful of beauty, combining rushing water with one of the planet's most unusual structures.
* The Kennet and Avon Canal at Widcombe: On a balmy summer's evening, a stroll here is always a winner.
* Bath Abbey: Another architectural gem, and a place of calm amid the city's chaos. It also offers its own amazing views through its Tower Tours. One view of the church which takes the breath away is that from the Great Bath at the Roman Baths, particularly at night.
* Beckford's Tower: Although the tower itself is striking in its own unique neo-classical way, it is the view from it across the city that captures the imagination.
Have we forgotten a viewpoint? We've not fitted in the view of Bath from the London train, Great Pulteney Street, or Lansdown Place.
Do you agree or disagree with our list? Let us know here or via Facebook or @bathchron on Twitter.

I've always loved Disneyland, but there are of course some things that I wish were the "way they used to be". That being said, I think the park is still better than ever!
(I'm just talking about Disneyland proper, not the whole resort.)
Yes, it is better than ever!
No, it used to be better!

In spite of all the missteps along the way, yes it is a better place.
Writing about all things Disney, a couple of paragraphs at a time
75,000+ page views and counting.
The Disneyland of the late '60s and early '70s looks like a marvelous place. That said, I've only experienced the Disneyland of the later half of the '90s until now, so I can't realistically compare them. But I do think that the Disneyland of the '90s, although very similar to the current park, was a little bit better. No Jack Sparrow on Pirates, CBJ instead of Winnie the Pooh, no pirates on Tom Sawyer's Island, and Swiss Family Robison Treehouse instead of Tarzan's Treehouse.
However, DCA is definitely better than it's ever been.

Are we talking Disneyland itself or the resort as a whole?
No worries, stay calm, one question. Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?
i would say its a tie
1967 and now
but ive never went to the parks then
Take a look at some of my models I make at kolbykonnection.com
I'm sure there will be plenty of people chiming in with all the ways the park has declined since Walt's day (which with every passing day becomes a smaller and smaller portion of the park's existence), but I vote that it's better than ever.
Probably the best measurement is that more people are enjoying Disneyland today than ever before. Even if the park doesn't live up to some past glory, it is remarkable that it continues to serve more and more entertainment to more and more guests every year in a charming, safe and high quality setting - and that's what it's all about. Well, that and making money, which it also is doing better than ever.
I can hear the complaints already, that everything done to bring in all those guests and make all that money is what makes the park worse now than at some point in the past. Oh well. Hopefully someday the complainers will get the chance to take a time machine back to those long lost glory days and write a trip report for us.
I only long for days without wall to wall people. I remember spending 8 am to midnight with the kids and riding everything without a problem. The People Mover, The Rocket Rods and America Sings. The Plazza Inn when it was a sit down restaurant (how long ago was that)?
We now have DCA, with Sorin, Cars, Screaming and the Hyperion Theater with Grand Kids.
Better? I guess so, I just remember when..............................
For Disneyland specifically, I believe that it could be at its greatest point if Tomorrowland was completely revamped and Frontierland was expanded.
the DLR as a whole is the best is ever been!.. but disneyland park has seen better days
I say no purely based on TL. My favorite times at Disneyland were in the 90s because I was in high school for the first part and got to experience TL 98 which I loved for the first couple years when everything was new.
The only conclusion I can draw for anyone thinking Disneyland today is better than ever is simply ignorance.
I would say 1983-1984 is without a doubt the high point. Tomorrowland has not been ruined, new Fantasyland is completed, Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain have opened. Electrical Parade is up and running, and there is not yet an invasion of movie based attractions

This is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 07/852,699, filed Mar. 17, 1992, now abandoned.
In offices having large numbers of files, there are numerous times when inordinate amounts of time are required to locate files that are either misfiled or located in any one of a number of places where they may be used. It is imperative, in some circumstances, that a file be located quickly.
In known object locating systems, a searcher is used that emits either radio frequency, light or sonic waves to which a transponder in the object being sought audibly responds so as to indicate its location. In one of the systems described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,476,469, for example, pulse position modulated radio frequency waves are transmitted by a hand held searcher, and a transponder in the object being searched produces a series of audible tones in response to a particular pulse position modulation. The transponder includes all of the stages of a radio receiver for deriving the transmitted coded information so that it is expensive. Furthermore, it is stated that satisfactory operation up to 20 feet was not attained owing to the fact that the transmitted signal strength falls off rapidly with distance. This suggested that sonic or ultrasonic rather than RF waves should be transmitted by the searcher, but they would be severely attenuated by paper files so as not to be useful in searching for a file that may be in a stack.
Bayer, U.S. Pat. No. 4,507,653, discloses an integrated circuit receiver including audio detecting means, and an audio transducer for producing an audible sound. Bayer's device is designed to be attached to address books, daily schedule books, passports, credit cards holders, billfolds, eyeglasses, keys, and other such objects as discussed in column 3, lines 59 through 65. Each receiving unit includes an audio detector that is responsive to human-generated sounds such as a particular sequence of clapping noises, for producing a binary or electronically generated pulse whenever the appropriate sequence of sound waves are received, whereby the binary pulse is applied to a detection circuit for producing a plurality of second signals which are applied to a transducer for generating audible tones, thereby permitting a lost object to be uncovered.
Anderson, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,101,873 discloses a system for locating misplaced objects that includes miniaturized receivers that are activated by radio signals from a transmitter, for emitting audible tones to locate the missing object. The range of the system is about 300 ft. The receivers are designed to be activated by a signal of a particular frequency, for in turn activating an acoustic generator to emit a sound wave of a frequency in the more sensitive frequency region of human hearing. The transmitter is a tone generator, whereby the transmission signals will be of various tones for activating receivers that are designed to receive a particular combination of tones.
In most filing systems there are a large number of files that are continually changing so that it would be highly advantageous to be able to easily assign addresses to the new files. Unfortunately, in the location systems of the aforesaid patents there is no way of changing the address of an object by operation of the searcher.
Furthermore, the components serving as transponders in prior systems are far too thick to be used in a file.
In accordance with this invention, a hand held searcher or transmitter emits packets of given respective numbers of cycles of radio frequency waves that are coded so as to represent addresses or command functions to which the transponder in a file responds. By way of example, the transmission of a packet of 100 cycles could activate the transponder, and the 0's and 1's of a digital address are represented by packets of 20 and 40 cycles, respectively.
In order to locate a particular file, for example, all files are first activated by transmission of a packet of 100 cycles, and coded packets are sent indicating to the transponder that they should energize their sound producing device if they should receive their address. Thus, when the address of the desired file is transmitted, a sound emanates from the transponder of the associated file so that it can be found.
Should it be necessary to assign an address to a file, its current address is read by transmitting a packet of 100 cycles of RF so as to activate it and send coded packets that cause it to output the stored address. Additional packets are then transmitted that cause the transponder to record a following address.
The means by which these operations are carried out includes an RF Communicator DS6068A system that serves as a transmitter and a DS1209S-B1 chip that serves as a transponder, both of which are products of Dallas Semiconductor Co., Inc. of 4401 South Beltwood Parkway, Dallas, Tex. 75244-3292. The address of the desired file as well as the command functions are provided by a personal computer or terminal via an RS-232 port, for programming the transmitter and a transponder to the address.
The DS1209S-B1 transponder chip was designed to implement an addressable, full duplex wireless to 3-wire communication channel and has more pins and functions than are required by this invention. Its wireless transmit terminal TX is used to energize a crystal or some other device so as to produce an audible sound when required.
It is vitally important for the transponder, the battery therefor and the sound producing means to be thin so that they can be mounted in or upon a folder without significantly increasing its thickness. The DS1209S-B1 transponder chip is only 100 mils thick and sound may be produced by devices less than 0.1 inch thick, such as used in alarms in watches.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a transmitter for use in a searcher of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a DS6068AK device that may be used to perform the functions of the block diagram, of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a transponder for use in this invention;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the connections of a transponder chip DS1209S-B1;
FIG. 5 illustrates a file folder with a transponder mounted on a removable sheet;
FIG. 6 illustrates a file folder with a transponder mounted on one of its flaps; and
FIG. 7 is a vertical cross section taken along 7--7 of FIG. 5 when the file folder of FIG. 6 is closed so as to show a sound producing device communicating with space at its top.
The functions to be formed by a transmitter are shown by the blocks in FIG. 1. An input device 2 is used by the operator to select a file, to select the operation to be performed, and to initiate transmission. The operations include obtaining the address of a file, changing the address of a file and causing an addressed file's transponder to emit sound so that the file can be found.
A message encoder 4 contains all of the logic necessary to accept requests from the input device 2, to construct the patterns of transmitted characters comprising addresses and function codes necessary to implement the selected function on the selected transponder, and to pass this information to a waveform encoder 6. The waveform encoder 6 creates the actual voltage waveforms that are applied to a transmission loop antenna 8. In order to insure that a transmission is received by a selected transponder, the output waveform may be transmitted a number of times. This may also be done in order to lengthen the time during which a transponder produces an audible tone.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a DS6068A radio frequency communicator that performs the functions indicated in the blocks 4,6 and 8 of FIG. 1. An operator selects the desired file and the operation to be performed with an IBM® compatible computer terminal 10 that is coupled to the communicator via an RS232 port in a DS2250 micro-controller 12. The encoding functions of the block 4 are contained in a program and data memory 14. When transmissions are to be made, the micro-controller 12 energizes a transmitter 16 that operates at a given frequency such as 133.3 KHz, for example, and radiates the signals on an antenna 18. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2 in phantom, a keyboard 11 can be provided in combination with microcontroller 12 to take the place of computer terminal 10. In this alternative embodiment, microcontroller 12 is programmed to provide the functions otherwise provided by computer terminal 10, and may include the program and data memory function 14.
A transponder that is contained in each file is illustrated by the block diagram of FIG. 3. A loop antenna 24 that is tuned by a capacitor 26, which in this embodiment has a value of 240 pf, to the frequency at which the transmitter 16 of FIG. 2 operates, in this example 133.3 KHz, is coupled to the input of an amplifier 28. A waveform decoder 30 provides a given DC voltage during each packet of received RF cycles and passes them to a message decoder 32 that provides the commands. The commands are interpreted and acted upon by a logic block 34. The logic block 34 stores the address of the file in a register and generates a signal for energizing an audio output device 36 when required. A battery 38 provides operating voltage for the transponder.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a transponder/receiver showing the connections to a DS1209S0-B1 chip 23 that performs the functions indicated by the block diagram of FIG. 3. The chip is contained in a standard industry package 160SOTC which is approximately 0.409" by 0.405" and about 0.100" thick. As in FIG. 3, the capacitor 26 is connected in parallel with the loop antenna 24. A resistor 40 is connected in shunt with the capacitor 26. One end 42 of the loop antenna 24 is connected to a terminal A+ of the chip, and its other end 44 is connected to a terminal A-. Operating potential for the chip is supplied by a battery 46 that is connected as shown to terminals indicated by VBAT, GND and VCCI. Typically, the battery 46 has a thickness of about 0.1 inch. A crystal 48 for producing audible sound is connected between terminals labelled TX and GND, respectively, which are output terminals for transponder/receiver chip 23. The receiver may be implemented as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 4, for example.
FIG. 5 shows an open file folder having a back 50, a top flap 52 to which papers 54 may be attached by a clip 56 and a bottom flap 58 for preventing loose papers from falling out, in this example. This particular file folder is shown as having two side flaps 60 and 62 that fold on respective fold lines 60' and 62' so as to overlie the papers 54 in a well known manner. However, the invention is applicable to numerous other file folders such as one having only one side flap.
In this particular embodiment, the loop antenna 24 is formed or mounted on a separate layer or carrier 64 of non-conducting material, and its ends 42 and 44 are respectively connected to the A+ and A- terminals of the sheet-like chip 23 that is adhered by suitable glue to the layer 64. Typically, the sheet-like chip 23 has a thickness of less than 0.15 inch. Preferably, the loop antenna 24 is adjacent the outer edges of the layer 64 so as to increase its ability to send and receive RF waves. The layer 64 is removably attached to the side flap 60 by a clip 65. The wafer battery 46 is adhered to the layer 64 and is connected to the terminals of the chip 23 as better shown in FIG. 4. The means 48, such as a sound transducer for a digital watch, for producing audible sound is preferably adhered to the layer 64 at its upper right hand corner so as to be in registration with a space 66 that is formed above the file papers 54 and between the back 50 and the top flap 52. As the number of file papers 54 increases, the space is enlarged so as to permit sound produced by the means 48 to escape from the file and be heard. Even when the space is small because there are very few file papers, the means 48 will be in registration with the corresponding space of the next folder in the file or stack as the case may be. The space 66 is more clearly seen in the cross section of FIG. 7. FIG. 6 is the same as FIG. 5 except that the transducer components are mounted directly on the side flap 60 which serves as the layer 64.
The operation of a file finder system of this invention when using a DS6068A system to perform the functions of the message encoder 4, the waveform encoder 6 of FIG. 1, and a chip DS1209S-B1 to perform the functions of all of the amplifier 28, the waveform decoder 30, the message decoder 32 and the logic block 34 is described below. Further details for the DS6068A chip operation is given in the "Dallas Semiconductor DS6068AK Wireless Starter Kit User's Manual, Version 2.0" which is incorporated herein by reference. The transmission format consists of a sequence of packets of pulses (actually bursts of 133 KHz sine wave) separated by quiet times of a minimum of 50 μs, in this example. Each packet consists of either 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 pulses (cycles of the sine wave). The 20 and 40 pulse packets are typically used to transmit zeros and ones, respectively. The 60, 80, and 100 pulse packets are used for control. The following operations can be accomplished with the sequences shown:
1. Turn on 1 KHz audio output tone for 1.2 seconds [100, 20,20,40,20,40,20,20,20, (16-bit address), 80,40,20]. In this format the 100 pulse packet initializes the receiver; the next eight packets of 20 and 40 pulses indicate that the receiver is to use all 16 bits of the address; the next sixteen packets of 20 and 40 pulses specify the address of the desired receiver (65,536 possibilities) and the last three packets turn on the tone.
2. Read the existing 16 address bits in the receiver--This operation is used when it is desired to assign an address to a receiver. Before this can be accomplished, the existing address must be learned. The following packets of RF cycles are transmitted:
[100,20,20,20,40,40,20,20,20, (16-bit address), 80,40,20, 60,100,20,20,40,20,40,20,40,40, (16-bit address), (16 packets of 20)].
In this format, the transducer is placed in an electrically shielded environment. The 100-pulse packet initializes the receiver; the next eight packets of 20 and 40 pulses indicate that the receiver should not check the following 16 address bits; the 16-bit address can therefore be any combination of 20- and 40-pulse packets; the next four packets enable the output of the receiver, but do not turn the tone transducer or generator 48 on; the last 16 20-pulse packets cause the 16-bit address of the receiver to be placed serially on the output pin. This pin is monitored to verify the address.
3. Store 16 address bits in the receiver--This operation is used to assign a new address to a receiver once its existing address is known for uniquely or individually accessing the receiver. The pulse packets associated with the RF cycles are:
[100,20,20,40,20,40,40,20,40, (old 16-bit address),(new 16-bit address)].
In this format the 100-pulse packet initializes the receiver; the next eight packets of 20 and 40 pulses indicate that if the following 16-bit address corresponds to the stored address that the final 16-bit address in the sequence should replace it, the latter being the assigned address.
4. Lock the existing 16 address bits in the receiver--This operation is used to prevent accidental reassigning of addresses in a receiver. This operation can only be undone by removing the power from the receiver chip. The pulse packet used are:
[100,20,20,40,20,40,40,40,20, (16-bit address)].
In this format the 100-pulse packet initializes the receiver; the next eight packets of 20 and 40 pulses indicate the selected receiver address that is to be locked.
The loop antenna 24 consists of a 5.28 mH inductor composed of multiple turns of number 36 wire laid out in a planar fashion along the periphery of the 8.5"×11" substrate. Capacitor is approximately 240 pf and should be chosen such that when combined with the inductance of antenna 24 and the stray capacitance of the receiver circuit, will resonate at 133 KHz. Resistor 40 is 22 KΩ. Chip 23 is a Dallas Semiconductor DS1209S-B1 Wireless-to-Three-Wire Converter Chip, and serves the function of the amplifier 28, waveform decoder 30, message decoder 32 and logic blocks 34 of FIG. 3. Battery 46 is a thin "button type" three-volt Lithium battery with a capacity sufficient to operate the receiver for more than a year. Transducer 48 is a piezoelectric audio output device commonly found in electronic watches with audio alarms, as previously mentioned.
Although various embodiments of the invention have been shown and described herein, they are not meant to be limiting. Those of skill in the art may recognize various modifications to these embodiments, which modifications are meant to be covered by the spirit and scope of the appended claims. For example, because of the flat sheet-like configuration of the present invention, and its thinness, the receiver portions thereof can be readily attached to boxes in a warehouse, or the binders of books in a library, and to other objects, for example, without materially extending the dimensions of the associated object. In this way, the associated object can be located using the invention without materially increasing the storage volume of the object.

AA Zester with a difference. Available in black handled razor ...
Oxford is a small rural town, 55 km from Christchurch. It is situated on the Inland Scenic Route – Route 72 – near the Waimakariri Gorge bridge. The Waimakariri offers salmon fishing, trout fishing and jet boating.
Oxford was named and grew from the original plans of the Canterbury Association settlement of the province. It was named by Captain Joseph Thomas, agent for the Canterbury Association, after the Bishop of Oxford one of the Associations founders.
Oxford began in 1854 with the establishment of the first sawmill. The Canterbury plains were almost devoid of trees, but at Oxford the Harewood and Mt Oxford forests provided much needed timber supplies.
Today the town is the center of a prosperous farming district – and home to Seagars at Oxford, cook school & café.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Those who knew 32-year-old Joseph Long say it was just his nature to walk some female dance students to their car. He was a true gentleman, according to friends.
Late Friday night, Long wrapped up teaching his class at 28th and L streets in midtown Sacramento. While standing near his car, he was caught in the crossfire of two groups firing shots across the parking lot.
Now a memorial sits not far from the place where Long was shot. Friends wrote notes and left a fedora and a t-shirt -- Long's attire wherever he danced.
"The hardest part probably is the guilt that I feel. If I just had gotten there 10 minutes early, uh, he'd probably still be here," said Gwynessa Balvanz, Long's girlfriend. Balvanz had gone to pick up Long. When she arrived, she learned he had been rushed to the hospital.
The close-knit swing dance community is planning a special dance for Long Wednesday night. Bailey Cox says he was such a smart person who lived his life to the fullest. She was a dance student.
"You can be the strongest and the healthiest individual and you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Cox.
Police were asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them. No arrests have been made in the case.

We are All Star Stuff
NuSTAR and the New View of the Universe
By Adam Torgerson
"In 1900, if you would have asked physicists what there was left to know, they would have said there were just a few bits and pieces still to sort out, and that we understood almost everything," says President Steve Thorsett.
"Now we look around and realize that we only understand a small portion of the universe."
Thanks in part to Thorsett's work with fellow CalTech post-doc Fiona Harrison, NASA will soon launch the NuSTAR mission. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, which Thorsett named, will probe some of the most exciting parts of our universe, including exploding stars. NuSTAR is designed to see high-energy, or "hard," X-rays. Scientists want to use them the same way your doctor does — to look through the haze of cosmic dust and learn more about our universe's most energetic phenomena, such as supernovae and black holes.
A space telescope is needed because Earth's atmosphere blocks X- and gamma rays, while radio and visible-light rays pass through.
Thorsett has used radio telescopes to study pulsars, which are dense balls of neutrons remaining after massive stars explode. Beams of energy from the spinning star cores sweep across the sky like cosmic lighthouse beacons. By carefully observing these flashes, which appear as blips on a radio telescope, Thorsett confirmed a prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity and helped find the universe's oldest known planet.
As part of Harrison's seven-person project team, Thorsett also led the effort to describe to NASA the scientific potential of a space telescope focused on hard X-rays. The team submitted its first proposal in 1994.
"We went through a series of projects, refining our ideas, getting to various stages of selection competitions at NASA before finally putting together the NuSTAR proposal early in the last decade," he says.
Interdisciplinary work with NASA on NuSTAR and other international collaborations shaped Thorsett's perspective as a leader. "That was a clear step in my own understanding of what it meant to be an administrator and why it was interesting," he says. "You can accomplish big things." NuSTAR will focus on the biggest things — supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, such as ours. But Thorsett is most interested in what NuSTAR's X-ray vision will reveal about recent supernovae. These massive explosions forge the universe's elements, and the satellite could yield insight into the process.
"We are all made of star stuff," he says, echoing a famous quote by Carl Sagan. "Figuring out how that stuff gets out of stars and into us is one of the fundamental questions of the creation of life on Earth."

American Slang Words: Mad! Sick! Horrorshow!
By Jeremy at University Language
Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Category: International Students, Learning English, Living in the US
American slang words are a kind of trippy (strange) embroidery for formal American English. They're inventive, vulgar, absurd – the kind of words that, were they human, would wear leather and paisley.
Slang is its own industry, constantly minting and recycling new expressions. Last year's hot words are this year's heirlooms. Most phrases first appear online or on TV. Some – usually the more obscene – hatch on playgrounds, around kegs, on street corners. Slang is alive in a way other parts of our language rarely are.
That said, any list of American slang words is simultaneously an obituary. As soon as a word infiltrates the mainstream, it's old news. A futile conquest, this list, but great fun nonetheless.
Here's our crop of the sweetest American slang words:
Jump the shark: something, especially a sitcom, that is past its prime; no longer relevant
Munchies: hunger, especially a craving for junk food
Mumbo jumbo: gibberish
DL: acronym for "down low," said of something you wish to keep secret
Sketchy: someone or something that is suspicious
Boonies: a rural area
Crash: to fall asleep
Nine-to-five: a day job; so called because most corporate schedules begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m.
Vibe: the impression imparted by a person or place, e.g.: "That diner by the airport has a sketchy vibe."
Vent: to complain about something in order to relieve stress
If you live in America, here's some practical slang you should keep in your repertoire:
24/7: something that is open or available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, i.e. never closes
Hang out: to relax with friends
Flick: a movie, e.g.: "Do you want to catch a flick at nine?"
Digits: usually refers to a phone number, as in, "What's your digits?"
AWOL: military acronym for "absent without leave," leaving without permission
MIA: another military acronym, this means "missing in action;" often used in trivial contexts, e.g. "my phone is MIA in the boonies."
Dough/Bucks: money
Why American Slang Words Are "Wicked"
Some American slang words mean the opposite of their ordinary definitions.
Something that's "sick," for instance, is actually awesome, cool or hip; the same applies to "wicked." And if you have "mad" skills, you have a lot of them, not just a talent for breaking furniture.
Slang words are the carnival beads of American English: glittering, irreverent and quickly lost. Along with American social idioms, they brighten our language and render smalltalk a bit more incandescent.
Simply put: speech without slang is a downer (a disappointment).
And if you were wondering: "Mad," "sick" and "horrorshow" are terms applied to anything that you find particularly amazing.

Knights of the Golden Circle (Scroll Pages)
The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) is a pro-Dixie, pro-Confederate fraternal membership and secret society consisting of small groups of members in voluntary association. The KGC was originally organized July 4, 1854, at Lexington, Kentucky, with five members. By 1860 there were clubs everywhere below the Mason-Dixon line. Evidence shows the order had clubs in nearly every Dixie state. More than twenty organizations could be located in Texas alone. "This section of the country is filled with members of this mysterious organization, and their camp fires are increased every night by new parties arriving during the day. The road is dusty with their constant movement, and from this place to Goliad it is said there is a continuous caravan of them, coming in small parties and large parties, on horseback and in wagons, armed and unarmed, with money and without it." --C.A. Bridges
Famous quotes:
"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states." --Charles Dickens, 1862
"The error is in the assumption that the General Government is a party to the constitutional compact. The States…formed the compact, acting as sovereign and independent communities." --John C. Calhoun
(Forums listed below.)
Founder Statements of Liberty:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." --The Declaration of Independence
"If we were wrong in our contest, then the Declaration of Independence of 1776 was a grave mistake, and the revolution to which it led was a crime. If Washington was a patriot, Lee cannot have been a rebel." --Lt.Gen. Wade Hampton, CSA
"It has been said that I should apply to the United States for a pardon, but repentance must precede the right of pardon, and I have not repented. Remembering, as I must, all which has been suffered, all which has been lost, disappointed hopes and crushed aspirations, yet I deliberately say, if I were do do it all over again, I would again do just as I did in 1861." --President Jefferson Davis, CSA

You just attended you a blog conference. Maybe even your very first one. You came home with a lot of notes from sessions, business cards from everyone you met and lots of swag. Now what?
Well, now it's time to get to work so that you can really benefit from the time and money you put into the conference.
What to do after attending a blog conference
Take action
Hopefully the sessions you attended at the blog conference were full of great information. If you're like me, you hand wrote your notes. Or maybe you are the type of person that types them up. Either way, it's time to take action on those notes. Whether it's improving your blog, starting a newsletter (yep, talking to myself on that one), or growing your social media presence, you need to get started.
Go through your notes and make a plan of action. Tackle items one at a time so you're not so overwhelmed.
Get connected
You met many great people at the blog conference and your bag is full of business cards. Work your way through those cards and start connecting with your fellow bloggers on Twitter, Facebook, their blogs, etc.
If someone you met really stood out to you, email them and say hi. Connections are always a great thing in the blogging world. You might even be able to create a blog tribe with your new connections.
Follow up
At blog conferences such as BlogHer, there are many brands (or PR people) in the expo, in sessions and at private events. If there are some companies you would like to work with, follow up with them. Send them an email and reintroduce yourself and let them know you are interested in working with them. Maybe even send your media kit. You never know what might happen.
Also, don't forget to remove the conference badge from your site. You don't need it taking up space after the event.
I know it can be a little difficult to adjust back to real life after attending a blog conference so I hope this helps. If there's anything you can add to the list of what to do after attending a blog conference, add it in the comments!

"Hey," you may find yourself wondering from time to time, "how come none of the superheroes in these big budget Hollywood movies are women, MANNNN?" Well, while the big studios are still spooked by the dismal box office performance of Jennifer Garner's Elektra back in 2005, network execs whose playground is the small screen are still willing to take bets on the genre. Case in point, NBC has greenlit a Wonder Woman pilot, one that's helmed by David E. Kelley and starring Adrianne Palicki, Elizabeth Hurley and Cary Elwes. Not exactly a Murderer's Row of thespians, exactly, but it'll do!
So, while we wait with baited breath to see if David E. Kelley can reverse his decade-long streak of creating terrible television programs, we can at least begin debating the merits (or lack thereof) of the new Wonder Woman outfit. Pictured, at left, is the first official image of Adrianne Palicki, former star of Friday Night Lights, as the new owner of the world's most renowned Bulletproof Bracelets. And at right, naturally, is Lynda Carter, who utilized the Lasso of Truth to defeat countless misogynistic creeps during the four-year run of Wonder Woman from 1975-1979.

How People Are Using Tide Laundry Detergent To Buy Weed And Crack
Police have discovered why Tide laundry detergent is one of the most commonly stolen items in grocery stores, as it has the street value for drug addicts to easily barter the orange canister for their drug of choice.
Tide laundry detergent is commonly traded on the black market for crack cocaine and marijuana, with a 150-ounce bottle often exchanged for a $10 bag of weed or crack.
The 150-ounce bottles of Tide laundry detergent retail for more than $20 in grocery stores, and drug dealers need clean clothes, so the bartering is a win-win for all parties involved.
Police started recognizing the trend last March, as many bottles of Tide laundry detergent were unaccounted for.
Tide is an iconic brand that is extremely desirable, so it makes sense that crackheads are stealing the good stuff.
"It doesn't matter where the clothes come from, if you wash them with Tide, they do have almost this prestige wash to them," said Maru Kopelowicz, a global creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi.
Will stores need to lock up laundry detergent the way they do with electronics and pricier items?

Hawks Fall At Buzzer To Behrend
- Release Date:
- December 8, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ERIE, PA – For the second time this season, the Hilbert men's basketball team dropped a road game with the horn sounding in the background. In the 71-69 overtime loss to Penn State Behrend December 7, Hilbert sent the game to overtime, only to watch an offensive rebound put-back by Behrend end their comeback hopes in an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference contest.
Behrend controlled the first half of play, building a seven point lead (20-13) with nine minutes to go. Isaac Bushey's three-pointer started the come-back by the Hawks, and back-to-back long balls by Chris Parrott gave Hilbert their first lead of the game after 19 minutes of play. Behrend scored a quick bucket to send both teams to their locker rooms knotted at 34 all. Parrott and Dan McFarland led the visitors at the break with 10 points apiece as the Hawks held the advantage in steals and fewer turnovers. But hot shooting (61.5%) by Behrend kept them in the game.
The second half followed the same pattern as the first twenty minutes. Behrend jumped out to their biggest lead of 5 points (47-42, 10:12) yet Hilbert didn't surrender. Parrott went on a seven-point tear to tie the game, and gave the Hawks their first second-half lead four minutes later. Again, Behrend built a six point difference off their trademark long distance shooting, and again, Hilbert responded in the last fifteen seconds of regulation when McFarland scored back-to-back layups which sent it to overtime.
As the five-minute extra period began, every possession proved to be important. Behrend struck first breaking the tie. A Parrott layup evened the game for the seventh time followed by a Cody Troutman score. CJ Hodge's break-away layup tied the contest with 0:49 left on the clock. Behrend's timeout set the Lions up for one last shot which turned into an Adam Palcic show. The 6'2 reserve grabbed three offensive rebounds and scored his final shot with time expiring for the game winner.
Parrott lead all scorers with 23 points and three steals and McFarland contributed a solid 22 point, 6 rebound and 3 assists effort. No other Hawk scored more than five points. Behrend saw four plays hit for double figures with Russ Conley hitting 18 points.
The Hawks return to action December 10 with their first AMCC home contest against Pitt-Greensburg (2-5, 1-2) at 2pm.
