This application claims priority from provisional application No. 60/177,068 filed on Jan. 19, 2000.
The present invention relates to a cable channel filler or spline and to a cable having the channel filler or spline. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cable channel filler having a shield, formed from a foil tape, embedded therein and having a plurality of shield legs with the shield legs forming a plurality of channel filler/cable pockets.
Electronic cables provide a highway through which much of today's digital information travels. Many of the cables which transmit digital information utilize a plurality of twisted pair cables. These twisted pair cables, to satisfy high-speed digital requirements, need to transmit information at high frequencies. Unfortunately, high frequencies, generally transmitted at extremely low voltages, are susceptible to electronic interference. For instance, near end cross-talk between twisted pairs within the same cable, referred to in the industry as NEXT, can interfere with high frequency sign al transmission.
To control NEXT in unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, the industry typically resorts to extremely short lay lengths and/or a central channel filler member that acts to physically separate the twisted pairs in order to improve crosstalk performance. The ultimate control for crosstalk is to individually shield the twisted pairs (ISTP) and electrically isolate them from one another by grounding the common shield plane. Though effective, these cables are typically quite expensive to purchase and install.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,789,711, 5,969,295 and 5,519,173 each describe methods used to physically separate twisted pairs with a shaped central filler in UTP or screen twisted pair cables. These configurations provide some isolation due to physical separation of the UTP's, but do not provide the benefit of a conductive isolating member between the pairs.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,615 describes the embodiment of an ISTP cable that utilizes a central rod filler surrounded with a shield, and an overall shield to fully isolate each twisted pair. This configuration typically requires that the shielding members be grounded and is contrary to my UTP invention. In addition, one embodiment proposes two metal tapes inside the fins of the central rod filler configures in a cruciform shape. This configuration of the two metal tapes is not desirable in that it allows the possibility of electromagnetic leakage between the joining point of the two tapes. In addition, the close proximity of the shield surrounding the entire circumference of the twisted pairs adversely affects the impedance and attenuation of the cable's twisted pairs. To maintain required impedance and attenuation values, the ISTP design requires that additional insulation material and copper volume be added to the twisted pairs, increasing the size and cost of the cable, both undesirable. Also, the proximity of the shield adversely affects the stability of electrical parameters such as impedance, attenuation and return loss.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,819,443 describes a shielding member comprised of laminated strips of metal and plastic materials that are cut, bent and assembled to define radial branches of a shielding member. This configuration also has many of the same problems previously described. The assembly of the tapes allows a channel for electromagnetic leakage to be transmitted from opposite pairs.
Our cable improves the isolation of a plurality of twisted pairs from each other by having a channel filler with a plurality of longitudinally extending tubular pockets and an internal metal shield. In some instances, it is preferred that the channel filler cable pockets have a cross-sectional area that is equal to or greater than the diameter of the envelope area of the wire(s) or cable(s) that are to be placed in each of the pockets. The metal shield is embedded in the channel filler to isolate each of the channel filler pockets. The channel filler shield is preferably a single tape that is folded to the conformity of the shape of the channel filler and extends into and is embedded by each of the pocket legs. The single shield tape is folded to provide a plurality of fins or legs so that there is a shield leg for each of the channel filler pocket legs. We also provide an improved two tape shield. In the two tape shield a first shield tape is folded to provide the plurality of shield legs and the second shield tape provides one shield leg. The second shield leg has 20-50%—at least {fraction (1/16)} inch of one side thereof being encased by a folded over portion of one of the first shield tape legs.
A communication cable manufactured using the channel filler of our invention generally has an unshielded twisted pair cable in each pocket. Then the twisted pair containing channel filler is jacketed.
The present invention and the advantages thereof will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings
FIGS. 1-3 are enlarged cross-sectional views of the single tape shields each having four shield legs.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a two tape shield constructed according to our invention.
FIGS. 5-8 are enlarged partial cross-sectional plan view of various channel fillers with our imbedded shield.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a cable having the channel filler of FIG. 6.
FIGS. 10 and 11 are cross-sectional views of our elongated channel filler having a drain wire or strength member.
The following description taken in conjunction with the drawings will further explain the inventive features of our elongated channel filler and cables utilizing our elongated channel filler.
Referring to FIG. 1, our elongated channel filler shield 20 has along its cross-sectional plane a first leg 21, a second leg 22, a third leg 23, and a fourth leg 24. The shield is made from a single tape having a width equal to about six times the width of each leg when all of the legs 21-24 have equal widths. The shield legs 22 and 24 are folded legs to provide a thickness double the thickness of shield legs 21 and 23. The shield in FIG. 1 is formed by folding the tape 90 degrees at a first point 50 to form a first segment 52, which is the first leg 23 of the shield. The first segment 52 is approximately ⅙ of the total width of the tape. The tape is then folded 180 degrees at a second point 54 to form a second segment 56 and a third segment 58, which forms the second 24 leg of the shield. The second segment is approximately ⅙ and the third segment is approximately {fraction (2/6)} of the total width of the tape. The tape is then folded 180 degrees at a third point 60 to create a fourth segment 62, completing the third leg 22 of the shield. Lastly, the tape is folded 90 degrees at a fourth point 64, creating the fourth leg 21 of the shield. The second, third and fourth segments 56, 58 and 62 are compressed, eliminating gaps therebetween. The space between each leg creates pockets 66 adapted to accept the placement of twisted pair cables 42 as shown in FIG. 9. Each pocket 66 has a 90 degree inner edge and are defined by two legs of the shield and by a cable jacket 43. Since there are no breaks in the one piece shield, frequency interference from each pocket is significantly reduced over previous shield designs.
Referring to FIG. 2, our shield 25, all four legs 26,27, 28 and 29 have a double layer of shield tape. The double layers are engaging each other when the shield tape is imbedded in a channel filler. By folding a single piece of shield tape into this configuration, it is possible to place a drain wire or strengthening member at the converging point of the four legs 26,27, 28 and 29. The a drain wire or strengthening member 45 and the converging point 68 are shown in FIG. 10. With this configuration, each leg 26,27, 28 and 29 has a length approximately ⅛ of the total width of the tape. The benefit of the shield 25 is that each leg 26,27, 28 and 29 is comprised of two segments of tape, allowing the use of thinner tape.
FIG. 3 another of our shields 30 made from a single tape folded to provide for double layer "T" shield legs 31, 32, 33 and 34. The legs, 31, 32, 33 and 34, and the top 70 of the "T", are double layered and shaped to coincide with the shape of the side ends of the channel filler legs, as shown in FIG. 11. This design further reduces interference by partially closing off the pockets 72 that contain the twisted pair cables. By folding a single piece of shield tape into this configuration, it is possible to place a drain wire or strengthening member 45 at the converging point 74 of the four legs 31, 32, 33 and 34.
Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown another of our channel filler shield 35 made of two shield tapes and having shield legs 36, 37, 38 and 39. Legs 36, 37 and 38 are made with a single shield tape with leg 37 being folded over to provide a double layered leg. Leg 39 is formed by the second tape and has 20-50%—at least {fraction (1/16)} inch of one side encased between the folded over portions of shield leg 37. The at least {fraction (1/16)} in. encased portion is needed prevent the leg 39 from disengaging from between the folded portions of the leg 37. When assembled, leg 39 is placed between the segments of the leg 37. By utilizing a two tape shield of this design, electromagnetic leakage between the joining point of the two tapes is eliminated because of the overlap between the tapes.
Referring to FIGS. 5-8, there are shown different shapes of channel fillers having embedded therein any one of the shields of FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. Since the foil tape is flexible, it is possible to bend the legs into a position that conforms with the shape of the channel fillers. By using the shields of FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, it is possible to form the shield from the tape and apply the filler in a continuous operation, eliminating steps need for other cable designs.
The preferred material for the elongated channel filler is any suitable polymer or copolymer depending on the needs of the user for crush resistance, breaking strength, gel fillings, safety, and the need for flame and smoke resistance. In many applications the material will be a flame retardant polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. Since the filler is a polymer material, it is possible to apply the filler in various shapes to accommodate cable design requirements. The filler is designed to follow the contours of the shield and to further insulate the pockets and add overall strength to the finished cable. The cross section of the filler 86 with the embedded shield 88, shown in FIG. 5, illustrates a plus-symbol shaped filler that has four legs 76, 78, 80 and 82 that define the pockets 84. The cross section of the filler 90 with the embedded shield 92 in FIG. 6 illustrates the shield 92 with the legs 94,96,98 and 100 in a perpendicular orientation. The filler 90 surrounds the shield 92. The tips of the legs 94, 96, 98 and 100 are rounded, which conforms to the shape of the cable. The inner edges 102 are also rounded to create a curved pocket 104. FIG. 7 illustrates a shield 106 and a filler 108 with curved tips 110 that conform with certain cable design requirements. Since the shield 106 is flexible, it is possible to form it into the desired shape. FIG. 8 illustrates a shield 112 and a filler 114 that is formed so that pockets 116 and 118 have an interior angle 120 smaller than pockets 122 and 124. This filler design is used in cables having an oval or rectangular cross-section.
Referring to FIG. 9, there is shown a cable 40, having as its core our elongated channel filler 126 with first pair of diametrically opposed pockets 128 and 130 each containing an unshielded twisted pair cable 42, and second pair of pockets 132 and 134 each also containing an unshielded twisted pair cable 42. The core 136 which contains our elongated channel filler 126 has an embedded shield 138, and the cables 42, in its pockets. The core is surrounded by a jacket 43 which was extruded thereover. The jacket 43 can be any suitable jacket material normally utilized such as foamed on non-foamed polyvinyl chloride, fluorinated polymers, polyethylene, the flame retardant compositions, etc.
Each unshielded twisted pair cable 42 has a pair of conductors with appropriate insulation 140. The conductors are generally copper, tinned copper, or any other appropriate conductor. The conductor insulation 140 is a foamed or non-foamed insulation of polyethylene, polypropylene, fluorinated ethylene propylene, tetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.
Referring to FIG. 10, there is shown a channel filler 150 having an embedded shield 152 and a drain wire 45 located in opening 68. The channel filler has the same shield construction as the shield of FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the drain wire 45 is between double layers of the channel filler shield 152.
Generally for a communication cable having four twisted pair cables, all of the same size with or without different lays, uses our shield channel filler. The channel filler has a diameter of about 0.150 inches to about 0.350 inches. The size of the twisted pair cables 42 are generally about 24 AWG to about 22 AWG. For other applications, the channel filler will have as many pockets or pocket legs as needed. For instance, in a four pair cable, the channel filler will have four pocket legs, in a 10 pair cable, the channel filler would have 10 pocket legs. Likewise, the embedded shield would have 4 and 10 shield legs respectively.
The shields may be any suitable shield such as an aluminum or copper tape, BELDFOIL, DUOFOIL, or any suitable metal tape. The shield which uses a polymer base can have aluminum or copper on one of both sides of the polymer base. The thickness of the metal on the shield is about 0.0003 to 0.001 inches.
Referring to FIG. 11, there is shown a channel filler 142 having an embedded shield 144 and a drain wire or strengthening member 45. The channel filler has the same shield construction as the shield of FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the drain wire is between the double layers of the channel filler shield.
The drain wire, is generally made with finned copper, tinned aluminum, etc. the strength member is generally made from polyethylene.
It will, of course, be appreciated that the embodiments which have just been described have been given by way of illustration, and the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments described herein. Various changes and modifications may be effected by one skilled in the art at without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

text: Yesterday we showed you some of the clothes Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods will be wearing at The Open. Well if the British wet weather should show up, you may well see them and other Nike athletes reaching for the new Hyperadapt Storm-FIT Jacket. The jacket is designed to offer golfers comfort, mobility and protection against the elements. Concentrating on flexibility and waterproof protection, the Hyperadapt Storm-FIT jacket combines the benefits of a sweater and an outer waterproof layer into one jacket. It has sweater-like stretch along with an impenetrable outer layer that protects from rain and wind. "Inspired by our athletes who demand the best in performance, our team set to work to create a jacket built to change the way golfers feel in unfavourable weather conditions," expressed Merritt Richardson, Nike Golf vice president of global golf apparel. "We are always working to minimise distractions. From reducing sound to enhancing stretch, the Hyperadapt Storm-FIT jacket is the ultimate in protection and performance." "Often, athletes will add a size to their rain jackets because they do not want to feel restricted by the fabric. This leads to a distracting, oversized jacket that is not optimal for competitive play. The Hyperadapt jacket eliminates this issue by providing athletes the protection they need without sacrificing the performance benefits of a stretch pullover." Designed for the harsh weather often found on the European Tour, it didn't take long for the Hyperadapt Storm-FIT jacket to have success. Nike's Paul Casey won the Irish Open in heavy showers and gusts up to 35mph, wearing the new Nike jacket. The weather forecast for The Open at Muirfield next weeks looks good for now. Should the weather change, players and golf fans may well look to add the new Hyperadapt Storm-FIT jacket to battle the elements. The jacket will be available in three colours, black, grey and blue, from today. It will cost £199.99 for a half-zip version and £210 for the full-zip.

Monitoring of an active volcano is currently undergoing a revolution with many new methods being introduced to aid in the prediction of eruptive activity. Remote sensing has greatly improved our capability, particularly for more remotely located volcanoes. Different monitoring techniques can be characterised by the frequency that data is obtained. This can vary from between monthly for spring data to 100 samples per second in the case of seismicity.
It is important not to forget the most basic form of monitoring which is pure observation. Information such as variation in the size of the volcanic plume, a change of colour, the height of an eruption column, formation of new fumaroles, change in the size of a crater lake etc. can provide critical information for hazard assessment.
Historically the main methods could be divided into the following:
At many volcanoes this represents the principal method of 'reading' the behaviour of the volcano. Even with a small network it is often possible to observe seismicity related to the rising magma body prior to an eruption.
When magma pushes its way up from beneath a volcano there is usually associated movement of the volcanic edifice. This can be recorded by using GPS equipment, EDM (Electronic Distance Measurement), Levelling or Tilt meters. Satellite-based sensors can also be used to identify and expanded edifice (INSAR).
This area of monitoring looks at the interaction between fluids and gases originating from a volcano and the surface or near sub-surface environment. Also the geochemistry of solid products can provide vital information in the analysis of the state of activity. The following measurements are commonly carried out: the flux of gas released by the volcano; its composition; geochemistry of the discharge in local spring waters; flux of gas diffusing though the ground; characteristics of ash produced by explosions; geochemistry of samples from domes or lava flows. Various satellite-based sensors have been used to detect both the SO2 and ash content of volcanic plumes.
Plume gas composition
When the volcano does not have explosive activity it is possible to climb to the crater and take samples directly from the fumaroles. This is the ideal way to analyse the composition of the volcanic gases. Samples are taken in special sampling bottles and are later analysed in the laboratory. Concentrations of the major gas species can be obtained (CO2, SO2, HCl, N, He, Ar, etc.), also isotopic analyses are usually carried out of the water isotopes.
It is planned to install diffusion tubes near to the summit as an alternative method for analyzing the major gases.

Ash studies
Volcanic ash is a term given to small particles (less than 2 mm in diameter) of rock, minerals and volcanic glass that are expelled from a volcano during an explosive eruption... see more
The other less commonly used techniques can be divided as follows:
Monitoring of Volcán de Colima is carried out by members of the Volcanological Observatory and the Committee for the Evaluation of Risk of the Universidad de Colima. At the Centre of Exchange and Research in Volcanology we are responsible for geochemical, thermal and infrasound monitoring.
Information on seismic and deformation monitoring can be found on the Observatory website along with images from the cameras being installed at various points close to the volcano.
1) Geochemical monitoring at Volcán de Colima can be divided into the following areas:
This area of monitoring has proved very useful at Volcán de Colima. There have been some effusive periods that have not given any signal in the seismicity but did produce geochemical anomalies prior to their onset (2001-3).
In this area of monitoring we also include thermal monitoring. This can be carried out using satellite-based sensors which give a low resolution but a guaranteed daily measurement if the skies are free of clouds. CUICA has receivers for data from two types of sensor: AVHRR and GOES. Recently ground-based monitoring has been introduced at Volcán de Colima.

Recipe by DJ Williams
"This is an amazing soup, and fairly simple to make. One recommendation is to keep the cooking time down on this one. The soup goes from a wonderful light, bright green to a very dull green if overcooked. Enjoy!"

Artichoke and mussels happens to be two of my favorite things. The soup was very tasty but I honestly felt that the flavor overpowered the mussels. I like the soup on it's own better. I think that the artichoke flavor wasn't that complimentary to the mussels.
yummy yummy yummy
Don't overcook!

Wow. Gigantic hit with my daughter and son in law. Served preceding prime rib with yorkshire pudding. Perfect.
I am not a huge mussel fan so I switched out for some butter sauted' shrimp instead.....mmmm nice flavor combo.

Gulfstream Park notes: Mott stars Royal Delta, Flat Out on target for 2013 debuts
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Bill Mott reported that both Flat Out and his recently crowned older female champion Royal Delta remain on target to make their 2013 debuts here at Gulfstream Park next month.
Flat Out will return in the Donn Handicap on Feb. 9. Flat Out captured the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup and finished third behind Fort Larned to close out his 2012 campaign in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Royal Delta will likely make her much-anticipated 2013 debut eight days later in the Grade 3 Sabin, the same race she used to begin her championship season a year ago.
"They're both doing well," Mott said. "We'll most likely plan for the Sabin with Royal Delta, same as we did last year. It's not the ideal race for her, but it's the only one we see."
Royal Delta is once again expected to use the Sabin as a prep for a return trip to the Dubai World Cup on March 23.
Romans happy with works
Trainer Dale Romans was all smiles after his top 3-year-old prospect Dewey Square completed final preparations for Saturday's Grade 3 Holy Bull by working five furlongs in 59.31 seconds and galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.13 under jockey Corey Lanerie at Gulfstream on Sunday. Dewey Square worked in a blinker-like hood, but one without cups, the purpose of which was to house a tube used to measure the horse's breathing during the trial.
"Those weren't blinkers," Romans said. "It was a wind-test machine to get a baseline on their air, so if they do start having problems I can test it later. It was a good morning. Dewey Square worked well, O'Prado again worked well, and so did Rightfully So. Even Little Mike, I just got a real easy one in him, and I'm going to come back with a real work, over the main track, next week."
Romans said he was humbled by the standing ovation he received at Saturday's Eclipse Award dinner when his name was announced as champion trainer in 2012.
"The reception was a little overwhelming to get a standing ovation from that group," Romans said. "It was kind of crazy."
Block sees Bambazonkie progress
Trainer Chris Block, who passed the 1,000-win milestone here earlier this month, was extremely pleased with the performance of his 3-year-old turf prospect Bambazonkie, even though she had to settle for second behind the odds-on Charming Kitten in Sunday's Kitten's Joy Stakes. Bambazonkie, a son of Hard Spun who had won his only two previous starts on grass at 2, nearly pulled off the upset despite trying to lug in, hampering jockey Jose Lezcano through the stretch.
"My horse ran much improved. He's been kind of slow to come around mentally," Block said. "That's why I skipped the first stakes here this meet – to kind of let him develop a little more and get ready for this race and see if he'll take a step forward, and I think he did."
Block will be busy over the next several weeks with three more stakes-caliber turf horses from his barn, Leading Astray, I O Ireland, and Ioya Bigtime. All three worked over the grass Sunday, Leading Astray going an easy five furlongs in 1:00.34, I O Ireland a half in 48.38 seconds, and Ioya Bigtime five-eighths in 59.71.
"They all got around there just fine, came out of it good, and are on schedule," Block said. "I O Ireland will run next week in the Sweetest Chant, Leading Astray goes in the Suwannee River, and Ioya Bigtime in the Mac Diarmida."
Hess liking Kadaya's prospects
Trainer Bob Hess Jr. continues to be excited about the prospects of his long-winded turf specialist Kadaya, who won for the second time in as many starts in this country, rallying from off the pace to catch Twirl in the final strides of Monday's main event going 1 3/8 miles on the grass. Joel Rosario registered his third win of the day aboard Kadaya
"I know she dropped pretty far back, but I told Joel I was a little worried about the horse getting too anxious," Hess said. "I never give my riders too many instructions, I just said keep her relaxed, and he rode her with the utmost confidence. I thought she ran a really nice race, we're proud of her, and I'm looking forward to having a big summer with her."
Hess said Kadaya will see action again here later in the meet, either in the Grade 3 The Very One (Feb. 16), the Grade 3 Orchid (March 30), or perhaps both, depending how things transpire over the next couple of months.
An interesting approach with Royal Delta,using the same two races to start the year.She was trounced in The Sabin and completely flopped in Dubai last year.She had a great year after that of course,so who knows,maybe the second time around will be better.

It's a little hard to get your dander up about the Rock and Roll (note: it's the formal and, as opposed to the more rockin' 'n') Hall of Fame in 2001. There was a time when this lifelong rock fan was one of the more quoted critics of the institution, but the biggest gripes with the RARHOF were remedied when they finally inducted the Velvet Underground (four years after they were first nominated, mind you) and Del Shannon (years after he'd committed suicide -- no doubt the overlooked nominee's depression was not helped by a request to deliver the induction speech for the Four Seasons).
Anyway, if you wait around long enough, all of your faves will eventually make it in. Diminishing returns are already on display: The first year (1986) saw 10 performers inducted, the second a whopping 15, but since then, it's ranged between five and this year's mostly sorry eight inductees. The class of 2001 comprises Aerosmith, Solomon Burke (cool), the Flamingos, Michael Jackson, Queen (there's a reason they were Wayne and Garth's favorite band), Steely Dan, Paul Simon and Ritchie Valens.
Writing in BAM in 1994, J. Kordosh suggested, "They should've opened the Hall, inducted Elvis Presley and the Beatles, and then closed the Hall forevermore." In light of some recent inductees (and after sneaking Dylan and perhaps Brian Wilson onto the list), it's easy to agree. Artists are eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first recordings. The official criteria remain "influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll," though it's still not clear who determines that influence and significance, nor why some years 15 artists have it and some years only five. But when we start getting to the LA hair-metal days or those early MTV years, the pickings are gonna be pretty fucking slim ("Uh, Mr. Ertegun, do we nominate Men Without Hats? Or would you prefer A Flock of Seagulls?"). The New York Dolls, the Stooges, MC5 and Black Sabbath will eventually have to go in, if only by default. Besides, someone who works at Cleveland's RARHOF Museum says that Lou, Mo Tucker and John Cale (all of whom declined requests to be interviewed for this piece) have been guests at the museum. If they can forgive the fact that by the time they were inducted, their bandmate Sterling Morrison had died, then who are we to cast stones?
Still, there are people out there who do care. Many newspapers always refer to an inducted artist as such whenever his or her name is mentioned, and an online search produced at least two Web sites devoted to alternative Halls of Fame (not to mention all the regional RARHOFs that have popped up from Detroit to Nebraska) and petitions for nomination, ranging from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels (yes, definitely) to Michael Bolton (aiiiieeeee!). Another site is devoted to the artists who haven't been inducted but, in the eyes of those posting, should be. The list includes many worthy names: Alice Cooper, Rory Gallagher, Cat Stevens, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Grand Funk Railroad, the Zombies, the Monkees, Link Wray, Doug Sahm, Procol Harum, Love, the Dave Clark Five, Gram Parsons. And what about ? and the Mysterians, and the Rivieras? Granted, they only had one hit apiece (and the members of both bands could barely play their instruments), but, my God, what hits!
Actually, the Cleveland museum -- which purports to be separate from (though closely associated with) the RARHOF Foundation -- does pay tribute to "96 Tears" and some of the more "marginal" rock legends. In that regard, the museum can't be faulted, especially when it claims education as its primary goal. ("Rock education" may seem like an oxymoron in conjunction with such terms as "post-Guns N' Roses" or just "Limp Bizkit," but that's beside the point.) History, of course, belongs to the victors -- and the museum's biggest gaffe is devoting an entire wall to Rolling Stone and an opposite wall to every other publication in the history of rock. Now, Rolling Stone was a terrific music magazine in its day -- and it's certainly the world's most successful -- but there's no way that it was more important than prime CREEM or Crawdaddy (or Gloria Stavers-era 16, or Lisa Robinson-Lenny Kaye Rock Scene, for that matter). But you just know that Jann Wenner will be inducted as one of the Hall of Fame's nonperformers before Lester Bangs has a snowball's chance in hell.
The RARHOF induction ceremonies have presented numerous memorable moments over the years (although many occurred before VH-1 began broadcasting the shows): Mike Love incoherently challenging the Beatles, the Stones, Billy Joel and others to a talent duel in 1988 ... and Bob Dylan beginning his induction speech with "I'd like to thank Mike Love for not mentioning me." The year before, it was the quiet pride of the daughters of the late Muddy Waters when he was inducted. And hey, any institution that can bring more attention to artists such as James Burton and Johnnie Johnson (both "sidemen" inductees this year) can't be all bad. Yet when another memorable moment -- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's reuniting for the first time in years to perform live -- was broadcast on VH-1 two years ago, the camera panned the audience, and the most recognizable faces in the crowd were those of label execs: Val Azolli, Edgar Bronfman Jr., Donnie Ienner, Michelle Anthony, Seymour Stein, Tommy Mottola.

Chillicothe, OH -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Ohio Emergency Management Agency (Ohio EMA) have a system in place to identify the very small percentage of applicants who try to cash in on others' misfortune during the disaster recovery process.
"Managing a multi-million-dollar disaster program always means walking a fine line between speedy service to those who need it and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not misused," Dale Shipley, Ohio EMA state coordinating officer, said.
According to Ron Sherman, FEMA's federal coordinating officer, a number of methods are used to detect fraud. An automated system crosschecks information with other agencies and applicants are asked about insurance coverage to weed out duplication of benefits. Field inspections are conducted to verify losses and damages for every person who applies. Potential cases of fraud or misuse are referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecution.
People who have made a mistake when reporting damage or have misrepresented their losses have the opportunity to cancel or amend their claim. Individuals may call the toll-free application number, 1-800-621-FEMA (TTY 1-800-462-7585) to withdraw or correct an application and prevent prosecution.
If you know of someone who is taking advantage of others' misfortune by filing false damage claims, you may report this or other instances of fraud to the Fraud Hotline at 1-800-323-8603.

Cops: Driver hit, killed bicyclist then sped off
Authorities are searching for a Miami driver they say struck and killed a bicyclist before fleeing the scene.
Miami-Dade Police said 50-year-old Alejandro Hermis was riding his bike early Sunday morning when a light color Dodge Durango SUV struck him from behind. Witnesses said the driver dragged Hermis about 50-feet before stopping twice to dislodge the man from underneath the vehicle.
Once Hermis was free, authorities said the driver sped off.
Hermis died at the scene. Anyone with information about the driver is urged to call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).

DETROIT - The U.S. government plans to sell 40 percent of its General Motors Co. stock by the end of the year and to sell the rest of its shares within 12 to 15 months, officials announced Wednesday.
The government's exit from GM stock will mark the end of its direct involvement in an iconic American company that fell into disrepair and nearly collapsed in 2009 before receiving a $49.5 billion bailout and returning to job growth and profitability.
GM said Wednesday it would buy back 200 million shares from the U.S. Treasury Department by the end of 2012 in a $5.5 billion deal. That would reduce the ...

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH - Gwinnett's House members expressed anger Thursday at a recent move by the Senate to gut the state's supplemental 2007 budget."There are so many things we did right and for someone to play politics with it is disheartening," Rep. Mike Coan, R-Lawrenceville, said at Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's town hall meeting. "I get angry because it's not the right thing to do. It's a raping of the process." A day after the House passed its spending plan, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and senators presented a scaled-back version with cuts to earmarks. Coan, a member of the appropriations committee and chairman of the industrial relations committee, said the Senate "hijacked" a bill he wrote to set unemployment insurance rates with the budget version, but the bill was released because its failure would have meant an additional surcharge for businesses. Four Gwinnett representatives attended Thursday's town hall meeting, but no senators attended. Rep. John Heard, R-Lawrenceville, said these budget situations are "not uncommon," but he was unhappy about "the work that they did in two days to repair the work we did in two months." As chairman of the House Education Committee, Rep. Brooks Coleman, R-Duluth, said he was proud of work to give school systems more flexibility on class sizes. But Gwinnett County initiatives on registration of rental properties and nuisance abatement did not make Tuesday's Crossover Day deadline to pass one chamber in the General Assembly, the representatives said.

I have a friend who loves Sharks (so much so they have a PhD in sharks) that I had to make these for them.
Now, there are many versions of shark cupcakes on the web, and I got the inspiration for these from photos on the web, and am I am not taking credit for coming up with them.
i have not found a tutorial on how to make them, so I hope you enjoy.
Step 1: What You Will Need (A Bigger Boat)

2tsp vanilla
1 1/2 flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
You'll also need
Icing sugar
Some small round cookies (used Oreo's)
Food coloring
Fruit Roll Ups (Red) or other fruit leather
Icing pens
Small round doughnuts
You could also use any other recipe for the base, up to you
Step 2: Making the Cupcakes
Combine flour and baking soda
Add to mixture
Stir in Milk
I added Blue food coloring for effect
cook 175c for 30 minutes
Step 3: Making Jaws
Take a small round cookie and fashion it into a fin.
Stick the fin in the back of the Twinkie and stand up right.
Pour over grey icing till fully coated and place in the fridge.
Step 4: Sharp Teeth
With and icing pen begin to add teeth all the way around the fruit roll up.
This will take some time and require a little patience.
Step 5: Assemble
Step 7: Save Me
Coat in white icing.
Let it sit for an hour or so.
this is so awesome! thank you for sharing! when i first saw it i thought i bet those are twinkies! and i was right.

The 34-year-old's current contract runs out in the summer, but he is now close to agreeing terms on a new deal.
Ferdinand is believed to paid around £120,000 a week and the new deal - believed to be a one-year extension - would see him earn a similar amount.
Ferdinand, who won his sixth Premier League title this season, announced on Wednesday he was retiring from England duty in order to concentrate on club matters.
On Friday, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I think it is something he could have done last year.
"Ending his international career will definitely help him, as it did with Paul Scholes, and hopefully Manchester United will get the benefit of that."

With over 20 wines available by the glass or bottle, you are sure to find a wine to love. Check out the Wines section to view all the varietals available.
Picnic Areas:
Pack a picnic lunch, choose your favorite WA wine from our wide selection and spend the afternoon relaxing under the sun. The porch on our 1900's farmhouse tasting room provides picnic tables with amazing views of the Yakima Valley and Wilridge Vineyard. Picnic tables are available on a first come, first serve basis. But can always bring along a blanket and camp out on the lawn in the shade of the vines and fruit trees.
Cowiche Caynon = Hiking/Biking Trails & Wildlife Viewing:
The Cowiche Canyon Nature Preserve trail and mountain biking area is a few steps from The Tasting Room Yakima's back door. The 1/2 mile trail through Wilridge Vineyard down to the canyon floor is surrounded by century old sagebrush, wildlife and beautiful Andesite and Basalt rock formations. Once a railroad line, Cowiche Canyon is now a 2.9 mile unpaved trail, framed with basalt and andesite rock as it winds to make 9 crossings of the creek. Several hundred species of trees, shrubs, wildflowers, birds and other wildlife flourish in the area. Bring along your walking shoes, water bottle, and camera and we'll point you in the right direction.
"The Cowiche Canyon Trail is a great location for finding Lazuli Bunting, Bullock's Oriole, Black-headed Grosbeak, and Yellow-breasted Chat. It is also a very quiet location with little man-made noise intrusions and the steep walls confine the birds in a very narrow band. Late May through early June features the prime period for claiming territories, the birds will be most vocal and visible at this time. Chats, Orioles, and Grosbeaks are usually found within the first three bridges...with additional individuals added as we go farther. This year, we didn't find a Bunting until bridge six. Probably went by more but they are small and have rather weak high pitched calls. Plus they prefer a drier habitat lingering just behind the riparian band.
Rock Wrens and Canyon Wrens are also vocal along the trail at this time of year. Frequently, they will be high on the walls or on the rim. Turkey Vultures and Ravens cruise by if one remembers to look up. Common Nighthawks were seen this year and every year brings Swallows...both Violet-green and Cliff nest heavily there.
Marmots are usually seen and a variety of plants also add appeal to the walk. And though the trail has a reputation for rattlesnakes, I have never seen one in all my visits. I suppose if you walk heavy and slow, they move out of the way. "
~Excerpts from reports by Richard Repp on Yakima Valley Audubon field trips to Cowiche Canyon in May and June.
Rock Climbing:
Grab your gear and come rock climbing! Two sections of andesite rock on the south side of Wilridge Vineyard host bolted anchors with top rope climbing opportunities ranging from 5.8 - 5.12. We'll point you in the right direction....all you need is a sense of adventure and your rock climbing gear. We do suggest delaying the wine consumption part of your visit until after climbing!
Wildlife Viewing:
Enjoy a glass of wine on the porch and see: raptors flying overhead, squirells running here and there, quail meandering on the lawn, marmots seeking food on the bluffs, butterflys and praying mantis in the garden, and so much more.

Here is video of Sarah's appearance at the 'Night of Too Many Stars' Autism Benefit which aired tonight on Comedy Central.
Here is video of Sarah's appearance at the 'Night of Too Many Stars' Autism Benefit which aired tonight on Comedy Central.
Wonderful, excellent, hilarious, I can´t find a real word. She´s just amazing. Heaven thanks that Sarah is
reality.And also thanks to Chris who gives all those, who cannot watch the show on TV , the opportunity to
see her performances immediately after the performance.
Thanks to all of you , you gave me a wonderful start into the new week
Amazing, camarade! Another succesful procedure!
I love her more than the white stuff in a zit!
Now that the strike is over, when will they show new episodes of her series?
genius – Thank God for Sarah giving us so much laughter, and thanks for this website, its the best, im in london, i cant even get half of this without this site!! Gina Lyons – London.
Hi dear webmaster Chris,
can you please,please do me a favour ? The sound volume
of a.m. video is very, very low. Is it possible to raise it up a bit more. I found out that on Comedy Central it is much louder. I really would appreciate it.
But if it´s not possible, I could go than to CC.
Just for all you fans: I simply can´t get enough of this video, don´t remember , but I think I saw it already at
least 30 times or so. Really, laughter is the best medicine, as she says. I only have one question : Is there anybody who knows what she said after her words "Look at this , so many Jews are here"…. and than she says twice something like "but do calm down" or so… Would be nice, if there were anybody to tell me.
Wonderful, so we are at least two already from across the great sea.
Gina, wouldn´t that be wonderful having our big SaSi
lets say in London ?
She says "There are so many Jews here tonight…I could go nose-surfing." The only thing she says twice afterwards is "back to topic. back to topic."
Hi Jake, thanks so much. That´s exactly what I really couldn´t get.
Can't believe I forgot to watch that. Was probably very good. I am surprised they didn't get Baby Gorilla on there. He does like every charity.
I love how she delivers the "whom I hook up with …" joke. It's so thoughtfully and carefully performed.
Did you seriously delete my post??? The performance was horrible and offensive. But it makes sense that you would have fans that say things like – they like you better than the white stuff in a zit….water seeks its own level.
You are a digrace to comics. I think you say Steve Martin is someone you admire??? You are not even CLOSE to being in the same league.
Sarah Silverman is one of the greatest comics of all time. She is a master of her craft, a genius, and unbelievably multi-talented. She is innovative, subtle, and like the best comics, can peirce right to the heart of human foibles and hypocrisy. Her satirical insight can be devastating, yet it always comes across with a very humane sense of empathy for our shared foolishness. I think her humor is at the very highest level, where comedy meets philosophy. That's why she does indeed rank with that other philosopher-comic, Steve Martin, and those few others who reach that stratosphere of excellence.
…and even when she's doing lighter, low-brow stuff, it's so great to watch her masterful delivery, with her amazing acting skills and charisma on full display. And how about that singing!
Yeah, you go, Sarah! Rock on…
Love You Sarah Your The Greatest!!!
I really love Sarah but… this material is blatantly recycled. Most of these jokes were used in "Jesus Is Magic" and "The Sarah Silverman Program", as well. Oh, well. It's still good to see her alive. She was funny for a few seconds on American Idol. When is her show gonna start airing again? Fuck Lewis Black's show.
To Lauren:
As long as you think she's thin. ;P
Hey – I need to reach Sarah, Jon, Robert Smigel, or someone connected with the show on the 13th. WE are the real deal – we had the busy phone-banks, the giant-sized checks, the drumrolls, and of course, the TOTE board! We are one of the few remaining organizations that has a live Telethon for REAL, and ours, held the this past Saturday for ten hours (the 19th) raised funds for our new Autism Resource Center for Excellence (and a few other great programs of ours). We hit a record high with contributions of $232,388, but we're still short about $80,000 to keep our Autism Center open. Who can I talk to about a donation from the Night of Too Many Stars, or have someone consider a separate fundraiser for us? We're about 80 miles west of Chicago and have had a Telethon for 28 years! Please give me a call at 815-434-0857. Thanks!
yawwwn, I am so freakin tired, not of Sarah, but I started a new job & it sucks the life out of me. Cant wait to see new Episodes of SS Program. Wow can her bung-hole really sing or what, the other hole, the front hole, however was vocally off, maybe it needs some time to rest as well. haaa. Hope to see more Sarah videos in the new episodes. Some fresh new material. I would love to hear her improv more at her live appearances instead of hearing old material. OHHHH BOY, my boyfriend just came home with Dairy Queen Cookie Dough ice-cream, it is the best!! and to think, I used to get criticism for eating a log of cookie dough and here it is the most popular,yummy ice cream in the world, I should have invented it first. I think Sarah should have her own Ice Cream brand. Okay, Fans, answer this question…. IF SARAH HAD A BRAND OF ICE-CREAM, IT WOULD BE CALLED -_________BLANK?
Cookie Party(tm)Ice Cream?
Or BabyBel cheese flavored ice cream?
(I just Googled "BabyBel" to check the spelling and a picture of Sarah came up as the 3rd listing!)
Something to say?

Antoine Knight wants you to know one thing, he's not just trying to talk the talk - he can really Walk Da Walk! That's the soul inspiration and concept behind the Atlanta based saxophonist's highly anticipated follow-up to his 2004 debut project In The Red, which received airplay in over 50 cities. The new CD, Walk Da Walk, is in the urban contemporary jazz (with some unexpected stylistic twists) at its best, but it's also the veteran musician's motto for living a life of authenticity. Knight took several years to ensure that Walk Da Walk conveyed a very personal autobiographical journey. A deeply spiritual person and musician, Knight creates an inspiring yet melodic chronicle that serves as an engaging testimony of where he has been in his life. Born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, Antoine Knight began playing sax at age 11 and enjoyed a childhood filled with incredible sounds—starting with an 8-track tape his aunt had of Jr. Walker and continuing on through his dad's John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley albums. While Knight played sax throughout his school years, it was at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church where he performed with Jennifer Holiday, and Yolanda Adams. Since then he has shared the stage and played with Angela Bofill, Vesta, Miki Howard, Najee, Ronnie Laws, Kim Waters, and Marcus Johnson. Upon entering college at Florida A&M University he began focusing on two other disciplines; majoring in engineering and minoring in military science. Knight worked as an engineer and is presently in the U.S. Army Reserves, but his love for music brought him back to performing. "For me, Walk Da Walk, is a journey of my testimony that has never ended. I've been battle tested and will emerge stronger and ready for whatever lies ahead. We all have had testimonies and journeys that we've walked, and Walk Da Walk is my way of conveying my own experience through music." On Stage Knight is a versatile performer and musician, doing hundreds of private parties, weddings and corporate events. He also played in the house band for the Atlanta Falcons football team in the early 2000s, performing regularly for hundreds of VIPs. He has opened for Steve Oliver at the Suwanee Jazz Festival (Suwanee, Georgia) and appeared at the Atlanta Jazz Festival in 2007 and 2010; last year's event also featured Esperanza Spalding, Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke. Inspired by the sounds of Motown, Antoine plays with raw energy and is well known for his interaction with the audience. While promoting and performing his first CD "In the Red", he received national recognition when it aired in over 50 cities across the country, which catapulted Antoine into becoming Atlanta's first independent artist to get picked up by Radio One Broadcasting, on the station formerly known as WJZZ 107.5 FM. Notable live performances Suwanee Jazz Festival – Suwanee, GA Atlanta Jazz Festival – Atlanta, GA Atlanta Falcons, Georgia Dome – Atlanta, GA Atlanta Wing Fest - Atlanta, GA Jazz in The Park - Piedmont Park, GA Music Walk Da Walk's nine tracks can be enjoyed for their infectious charms, cool improvisations and deep urban grooves. But the source of each tune is the range of emotions Knight was going through during the years he was working on the project. He has turned life's challenges into musical magic that people can identify with on so many levels. Walk Da Walk gets grooving into Knight's powerful life journey with a blast of classic alto-driven funk and bluesy keyboard harmonies, highlighted by Rod Harris' fiery electric guitar solo. Knight explains the inspiration behind the shuffle groove and easy laid-back retro-soul slow-jam "Too Cool" - "When I play, I wear shades that were given to me by a fellow musician who always tells me I'm 'too cool'." "I Keep Forgettin'" is Knight's take on Michael McDonald's pop-soul classic which highlights the background vocals of Carla Finley and the crisp guitar solo by Eric Essix. The saxman shows off his ultra-romantic side on two lush soprano ballads; the soaring "Devotion With You"; and the swaying, slow burning "Our Day"—an elegant piece he wrote for his sister's wedding. Vocalist Myrna Clayton is featured on the hypnotic and trippin' "Time Waits For No One", which combines piano and guitar accents behind doubled saxes and an edgy production vibe that includes quirky moments of static. Jazz purists will embrace the clever musical way Knight fuses both smooth and traditional jazz on "Smooth Jazz Gone Straight." The tune is centered on a dual horn melody (Knight's alto and Danny Harper's trumpet) and a swinging upright bass groove by Joel Powell. Knight swings over to "real jazz" with a blistering solo that digs deep into the core of his rich artistry. After the graceful, melancholy moods of "Tears of Pain", Knight closes the set with "We Fall Down," a funky and atmospheric soul jazz take on the Donnie McClurkin gospel staple. It's a way of introducing people in a subtle way to the spiritual side of Knight's life. The title track of Walk Da Walk has been featured on the National Weather Channel and highly ranked by Atlanta radio station WCLK.
