Project Description
Abstract The main objective of an Intrusion response system is to issue a suitable response to an anomalous request. The two main issues addressed here are Policy matching, and Policy administration. Policy matching is done by effectively searching the database for policies that match an anomalous request. Policy administration is implemented using Novel Joint Threshold Administration Model (JTAM). The key idea in JTAM is that a policy object is jointly administered by at least 'k' database administrator (DBAs), that is, any modification made to a policy object will be invalid unless it has been authorized by at least 'k' DBAs.

School Administration Concentration
This is a very exciting and challenging time in education. A critical need exists for effective school administrators who are qualified to lead a new generation of educators and are committed to quality education.
California State University, Stanislaus offers a nationally recognized program in professional graduate level study leading to the Master of Arts in Education (School Administration Concentration). In addition, the course work leads to a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, which allows a graduate to serve in any administrative capacity in education.
School Administration faculty members are committed to preparing wise, scholarly, compassionate, and ethical educational leaders. Each course offers not only practical and theoretical methods of school management, but also the highest ethical principles. Graduates are expected to serve as models of leadership in the schools of the future.
Faculty members are extremely proud of the accomplishments of past graduates and feel a special pride and satisfaction in the large number of these persons who are holding significant positions. Faculty members wish to continue this tradition by having candidates who possess the personal qualities and leadership potential to pursue graduate course work in school leadership at CSU Stanislaus.
Enrollment in the Masters of Arts in Education (School Administration Concentration) Program offers three options for completing the culminating scholarly activity: (1) thesis, (2) project, and (3) comprehensive examination.

We are still looking for the perfect loaf of bread. Iowa is a long way to come from our little island, but it sounds worth it. Sounds like a worthy destination. Cheers, Fred and Willie
Best Bread St. Louis 2008 - The Daily Bread Bakery & Café
11719 Manchester Road
Des Peres, MO 63131
Sometimes an empty feeling can be a good one to have, especially if it comes at the end of an epic journey, one on which, say, you've been searching for the perfect loaf of bread for months on end, walk into yet another bakery and search for the sourdough, and, well — oh, my!!! — you're looking at a lot of empty shelves. Before freaking out, you do the math. Empty = OK, people like this bread. Empty = In fact, people like this bread a lot. Empty = This bread is going to be so good I'll have to get here earlier tomorrow since I don't have time to wait for the next batch right now. Been to the Daily Bread Bakery & Café in Des Peres and you've had that feeling at least once or twice. Luckily, the good bakers at this locally owned joint keep the racks stacked with lots of specialty breads, too: sunflower honey wheat, French baguettes, honey bear bread, caraway deli rye. The olive ciabatta is a knockout, popping at the seams with huge and juicy kalamata olives. The seasonal treats — blueberry sour cream loaf and pumpkin bread, to name a few — are awesome as well. Empty, in sum = I've arrived. Tomorrow, the perfect loaf awaits.
I am glad to see that DB is honored. I love that this place is locally owned and has become a familiar name with the locals in the area. Customers have been very supportive to a business that really cares about its community. I have tried many items over the years and have yet to have one disappoint me. DB embraces every season with their new items and I look forward to visiting weekly!!! A++++ to the owners and all of the wonderful staff that are so pleasant.
Yay! I used to work at Daily Bread and it's good to see such a good place get some props. I was a barista (that's pretentious for 'person who makes coffee') and cookie-decorator there. I do think you should add a 'best decorated sugar cookies' category and give the DB even more props for all the work they put into making specialty cookies for holidays, seasons and to order.

In this notice, the existing system name has been revised to more
adequately convey the Departmentwide extent of the scope-of-system
coverage. Additionally, the existing system location statement and the
existing system manager(s) and address statement are revised to reflect
changes in addresses of system managers, and the existing retention and
disposal statement has been revised to incorporate the Department's

About a year ago, my dad, a retired MD felt like he needed to get checked out by a neurologist.The news wasn't so great.
My dad is a tough nut on the oil stuff. He's personally experienced amazing things with the oils and some of the supplements (he won't leave the house without his Alkalime). He's amazed by how much diffusing Lavender helps his sinuses which in turn allow him to get a good night's sleep. (Duh, Dad! Lavender is good for everything!) Still, the man is a science guy through and through – if there isn't a scientific paper written about something, then it's not real in his mind. But…. he must be open to the "non-scientific" stuff at least a little bit…he let's Mom and me put oils on him all the time.
Tonight they were over for my mom's birthday dinner and afterwards I thought I'd do NAT or Neuro Auricular Technique on Dad. I'd been thinking about this for a while… what took me so long? This technique is so calming to the nervous system. I guessed it could help my dad feel better too.
So- thankfully, I had all of the oils on hand: Frankincense, Valerian, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Roman Chamomile. I also added Sacred Frankincense because I remember at a YL Convention hearing about how important Sacred Frankincense was to the brain.
I sat Dad down backwards in my kitchen chair with a pillow to cushion and put the first oil Frankincense on his occipital ridge and down his spine to about T3. Then I took my glass dropper from one of my glass dropper bottles and used it as the "tool" to stimulate the locus ceruleus and along the occipital ridge. Then started on either side of each vertebrae working up to locus ceruleus. Then in between each vertebrae. I then applied the next oil. Was I doing it perfectly? I hope so. I was following instructions.
Everything calmed down!
After doing the NAT I had Dad put Regenelone cream on his "bad knee" that hurt him occasionally after exercise, so we might have talked about 5-10 minutes before I said "Hey Dad, let me see your hands." He held them out and…… all was calm!!!!!!! We could see a very, very, very slight agitation but I think most older folks have a little bit of that. Both hands were basically still when he held them out. This amazed me because I watched him trying to eat his dinner tonight with a "bouncing" fork. I was amazed. Tickled. Not surprised, YL delivers.
I showed Mom – she was dumbfounded. We are all wondering how long it will last. I sent Mom home with some oils, she has some oils and will order the rest. I've asked her to take a video of "before" and then "after" so we can try to track how it works. I guess maybe I have a few of Dad's "science genes" .
I should tell you all, my dad, the "science guy" let his neurologist put him on Azilect (which made him horribly nauseated after the first dose) but he had adverse reactions to that drug so stopped it after the first day – that was several months ago. I won't step on my soap box, but many of you know how I feel about how our seniors are on poly-pharmaceuticals. Western medicine has a pill for everything for the older folks. I'm not a fan of how little analysis goes into prescribing. So in his eyes, he had no options left to offer good support to his neurological system.
To have an unsupported neurological system sucks. No doubt about that.
The NAT was developed by D. Gary Young in the Ecuador clinic in 2007, I have heard it was developed with neurological issues in mind.
The purpose of the Neuro-Auricular Technique (NAT) is to jump-start and reconnect all of the synapses of the brain and upper spine, particularly in the locus ceruleus and vagal ganglia. The locus ceruleus or medulla is also the portal through which the vital life energy flows into your body. The vagus nerve regulates heartbeat, is involved in release of tears, controls digestion and peristalsis, production of hormones, control of sphincter muscles, ovarian and uterine function, prostate function, and sexual response.
NAT focuses on the occipital ridge, particularly the medulla (center depression at base of skull) and along the 7 vertebra of the spine between the skull and shoulders that comprise the neck)
NAT helps to make sure this vital nerve junction is fully functioning along with the rest of the brain.
THE OILS USED: Frankincense is mostly monoterpenes for balancing and reprogramming. Valerian, Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Sandalwood are all mostly sesquiterpenes for oxygenating the brain and ganglia and to delete misinformation at the level of cellular DNA. Roman Chamomile is mostly esters for emotional release.
All I can say is, THANK YOU Dr. Young for these pure oils! It WORKED!

Renewing Your License in OregonPage Overview
Renew Your Oregon Driver's License
In Oregon, your driver's license will be valid for a specific period of time. You'll need to make sure you renew your driver's license with the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV) before it expires.
Continue reading this page to find out exactly when and how to renew your OR driver's license.
If you need information about another type of driver's license or permit, see our following pages:Check Your OR Driver's License Status
Is your driver's license valid or suspended in Oregon? Find out by ordering your driving record online today.
When to Renew Your OR Driver's License
NOTE: If you need to update your address or name with the DMV, you may want to handle these transactions first. Please see our Changing Your Address and Changing Your Name pages for more information.
Your OR driver's license is valid for 8 years at a time. To continue to drive legally in the state, you'll need to renew it before it expires.
The Oregon DMV will send you a renewal postcard approximately 2 months before your driver's license expires; however, you can renew up to 14 months before the expiration date.
If you do not receive the reminder, you can still renew your driver's license.
Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Driver's License
If you happen to misplace your driver's license and it will be expiring within the next 14 months, the Oregon DMV may ask you if you would prefer to simply renew your license instead of replacing it.
For information on the next steps to apply for a duplicate driver's license, visit our page about Replacing a Lost License.
Expired Driver's License
If your driver's license has expired, you have 1 year after the expiration date to go to an Oregon DMV office and renew without having to re-take the knowledge and road tests.

No matter how long a time in between our encounters, each time was as if we had seen each other last week. I loved to sit and talk to him at family get together. He love to tease and would always make me laugh with him stories. He had a million stories, but never forced them on you, but sure enjoyed a captive audience......which I always was. I'll miss those times of sitting with him or talking to him on the phone. I never knew his as anything but a perfect gentleman, loving, kind and unselfish.
What always impressed me was the total love and respect displayed between Bill and his sons, Jeff, Vince and Victor. It always touched my heart to see such good boys so loyal to their father. Bill was not just their father, he was their best friend.
Bill had a heart of gold and would do anything for just about anyone. There were so many "adopted" members of his family. He was always willing to take someone in or help someone in need, whether he could really afford it or not. He never preached, but taught by his example and his unconditional love. He was the most down to earth, real person you could ever want to meet. Bill may not have been a "church going" person, but as far as I am concerned, he had more "Christian" qualities than many "church going" people I have known. We will probably never really know how many lives he touched, or turned around. He had wisdom not attainable by any college degree!
I loved the way he got so excited about coming over to collect odds and ends we offered to get rid of or some new part or tool he acquired. He loved to collect, but loved to share them too. I loved his independent spirit displayed when he would get in his "Scooby Doo" (as we called his motor home) and make the trek to Oklahoma for family reunions. I loved to see his genuine love and support for all his grandchildren. They gave him such joy. I can still see him reclined on the couch at Jeff & Tina's, with tiny Alex and Nikki both sleeping on his chest in perfect contentment. I still have that picture. I loved seeing him take little Jeffrey and Zachary out to the lake fishing or camping with him. He loved being part of their life and his devoted grandchildren will truly miss him. In every conversation I had with him, he talked about how proud he was of his family.
I feel blessed to have been able to talk to him and see him in the hospital, his beautiful blue eyes still beaming and trying to maintain a smile for us in spite of his pain. It was truly a blessing to have been by his bedside for some of his final hours in Hospice.
I have been through many deaths in the past 18 years. No matter what age they may be, it is never easy to say good-bye to our loved ones. There is very real pain and sorrow in this physical separation. At times it feels as if our heart is ripped out of our body. It is such a mistake to see death as separation and nothing more. They don't just go off to some dark distant place. They simply continue to eternal life. Death is this doorway to eternal life and our loved one remains with us in an even stronger way, knowing and loving us more than ever. We are all made for heaven and we end this life to begin a new life of endless happiness.
Bill didn't care about the big house, fancy cars, prestigious jobs, or money. He was happy living a simple life. When it is all said and done and we take our last breath and Our Heavenly Father extends his arms to us, I believe His only question will be "How well did you love?"
I truly feel in my heart, Bill loved well, gave much and asked for little. He was an inspiration to all as to what is important in life. My prayer today is that as you go through your grief that our Heavenly Father who is the source of all comfort be your strength and consoler. He has always been mine. Each one has to grieve in their own way. Don't hold back your tears. Crying releases sorrow and helps to heal. Even Jesus cried when Lazarus died. Always continue the "Dad"stories and laugh and cry together.
My final prayer is that when the Lord took Bill's hand that His final words to him were "Well done good and faithful son.........now enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Clayton Hobbs I am from Oklahoma. I don't know any of my extended family. I would like more information to see if Bill Hobbs could be related to me. Thanks

Biologist to Discuss Harm From Weed Killers
SELINSGROVE—University of California–Berkeley biologist Tyrone Hayes will discuss the harmful effects of herbicides Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. in Susquehanna University's Degenstein Center Theater. His lecture, "From Silent Spring to Silent Night: A Tale of Toads and Men," is free and open to the public.
Hayes will discuss exposure to the herbicide atrazine and the critical impact that pesticides have on environmental health. Hayes' research with frogs has demonstrated a link between pesticide exposure and reproductive cancers and birth defects; yet, he says, agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are ill-equipped to respond with health-protective policies.
Hayes, who serves on the review panel at the National Science Foundation, holds bachelor's and master's degrees in biology from Harvard University and a doctorate degree in interactive biology from UC–Berkeley. He has received the Distinguished Teaching Award and Distinguished Mentor Award from UC–Berkeley, and is the recipient of the Jennifer Altman Award for Integrity in Science, the Rachel Carson Memorial Award from the Pesticide Action Network, the National Geographic Emerging Explorer Award and the President's Citation Award from the American Institute of Biological Sciences.
Hayes' lecture is the latest in Susquehanna's Claritas Distinguished Speaker in the Sciences Series., organized by the School of Natural and Social Sciences and funded by an endowment from alumni George E. and Margaret Lauver Harris. The series supports lectures, seminars or residencies by internationally recognized leaders to discuss topics in the public interest.
Founded in 1858, Susquehanna University is a national liberal arts college that prepares students for achievement, leadership and service in a diverse, interconnected world. Academic excellence, study away and service learning, student-faculty collaboration and rich opportunities for creative and personal growth are hallmarks of a Susquehanna University education. Susquehanna students come from 17 states and seven countries, and more than 90 percent of them find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation. The university is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of Selinsgrove, along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River and about three hours from major East Coast cultural, financial and recreational centers.

Dear Valued Customer,
We are excited to announce that with the growth of the MASEL product portfolio we have added more distributors, worldwide. This increase in distributors now allows us to offer local, personal service to many of our loyal customers. In addition, this expansion will allow our valued customers to order their MASEL products within their own country, rather than ordering from the USA.
You may continue to place orders directly through June 8, 2012, but should start working with your local distributor as soon as possible. Our distributors are ready to assist you with any questions or ordering needs you may have.
After June 8, 2012, you will need to contact your local distributor for any of your MASEL needs. If your country does not have a distributor at this time, we will continue to supply orders of $5000 or more directly to you from the United States until a distributor is assigned. These direct orders should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, or placed by calling Ortho Organizers® in Carlsbad, California at +(1) 760 448-8661.
As part of our gratitude for your patience during this transition, we are happy to offer an extension of the AAO specials for orders placed by June 8, 2012. (Please also find a link to the AAO Specials at the bottom of this email.)

Most underrated playcallers
These guys don't get the recognition they deserve in directing some great offenses
Play calling in the NFL is one of those things that usually gets noticed on a per-call basis. You'll hear "That was a great call!" -- but then it's quickly on to the next play. From the standpoint of the guy calling the plays, it can feel like being a chess player. Sure, the checkmate was nice, but what about the sequence of moves, the pattern in the formations, the clever setup?
So although you know some of the play-calling legends, I wanted to point out some guys who are quietly doing exceptional work. What are the objectives of a good playcaller? Here are the areas the best playcallers succeed in:
1. Get your quarterback going early: This doesn't mean you come out gunning; it means build a sequence that recognizes the pulse of your quarterback and what he can do best.
2. Be aggressive without being reckless: This means that, when you throw it deep, don't leave your offensive tackle exposed on an island. It means don't target a double move without a two-move guy. Be aggressive, but limit exposure.
To see who deserves more credit for smart play calling and how they're succeeding, sign up for Insider today.

By dankempster 6 Comments
The last month or so has been pretty tough, to say the least. Moving back in with my parents has been a struggle to readjust to, as I relinquish the comparative independence of my last three years at University. My girlfriend, who I'd been living with for the last two years, has also had to move back in with her parents, meaning we're not seeing much of each other at all at the moment. My hunt for a decent job has already seen countless rejections, not even entertaining the possibility of an interview. I'm exhausting so much of my time on said job-hunt that work on my first novel has drastically slowed. On top of all that, I also witnessed the death of my long-serving (if downright terrible) laptop. Yep, August was definitely not very kind to me.
Thankfully, it's not all been bad news. While progress on my book has been hindered, it hasn't stopped altogether, which is still something of an achievement for me. I was also able to pick up a brand new (not quite so terrible) laptop, thanks to our landlord releasing our deposit back to us. One of the big advantages of this zippier machine is that it's actually powerful enough to competently run some games, so I've spent a lot of time the past few days checking out some older titles that I bought on impulse (mostly in Steam sales) and wouldn't run on my old computer. The prospect of finally being able to play through titles like Far Cry, Psychonauts and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is an exciting one, to say the least. I'm also very eager to return to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind in the near future, perhaps even in the form of a serial feature here on my blog (although I have another serial feature to wrap up first, of course).
One game in particular has really got its claws into me at the moment, though, and that's The Sims 2. Like most PC games I own, I bought it on a whim a while back, only to discover that my decrepit system was incapable of handling it. Curiosity getting the better of me, I decided to install it on my new laptop and finally check it out. Almost instantly I was drawn into the game by its charming aesthetics and light-hearted attempt to emulate (and in some cases even parody) our own lives. At first I dipped my toes tentatively into the waters of a default game situation, but it wasn't long before I set about building my own custom neighbourhood and filling it with Sim versions of my family and friends.
At this point I wish to point out that The Sims 2 isn't the kind of game I'd ordinarily choose to play. The concept of life simulation usually holds little-to-no appeal to me, but right now it's something that I find almost irresistible. Part of me wonders if it's because of the real-life situation I presently find myself in, and the comparative lack of control I have over it. At present my life feels like a derailed train, and while I'm doing everything in my power to re-route it, there's still no sign on the horizon of that next set of tracks for me to follow. In The Sims 2, on the other hand, almost nothing is beyond my control. If I want the Sim version of me to get a better job, or visit the Sim version of my girlfriend, or move into a new house, it's in my power to do that. The control bestowed upon me by my mouse and keyboard is almost compensatory for the lack of control I currently have over my own existence, and being able to act out my desires vicariously through this computerised neighbourhood is giving me fresh hope where it doesn't currently exist in real life.
The last game I played that I suppose could be considered a 'life simulation' style of game was Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS, way back in late 2006. Like The Sims 2, that game really got a hold on me, and for a few months solid I was practically obsessed with paying off my debt to Tom Nook, collecting fossils for the Danville Museum and filling my ever-expanding house with weird and wonderful decorations. Thinking back to it, my obsession with Animal Crossing began not long after a very difficult break-up with an ex-girlfriend. I guess in a way, being able to manipulate the life of my in-game avatar was a distraction from the real-life difficulties I was experiencing. Whenever I escaped into the town contained on that small cartridge, I was able to forget about my own problems for a while and focus on building that other life. When that in-game life had come full-circle, I was feeling confident enough in myself to begin rebuilding my real life. I took up new activities, began playing drums and darts, and was able to finally let the past go in pursuit of a better future. As crazy as it probably sounds, I'm not sure I would have been able to do that without the optimism and escapism bestowed on me by Animal Crossing.
There definitely seems to be something about games like The Sims and Animal Crossing that draws me towards them in times of personal struggle. Having even the slightest degree of control over my surroundings plays a big part in maintaining who I am, and it's a great comfort being able to exercise that control in a digital realm when it doesn't exist in the physical one. Hopefully in the coming weeks and months my situation will improve. Eventually someone is bound to employ me, I can start earning and saving towards a new place with my girlfriend, and I can begin to wrestle some of that control back from the cruel mistress that is Fate. Until then, it's nice to know I can rely on the inhabitants of Trivenhoe (a much better name for a fictional place than Danville, if I do say so myself) to provide me with an influential grasp on something. Thanks very much for reading, guys. I'll see you around.
Currently playing - The Sims 2 (PC)

Man air lifted to hospital after fall from bridge
A man was air lifted to Selly Oak Hospital after falling from a bridge over a disused railway line just after 2am this morning (Saturday 4 July).
The man who had fallen of a bridge in a field along the Ashby Road was immobilised on a spinal board after falling 25 feet from the bridge was rescued by the West Midlands Ambulance Services Hazardous Area Response team.
A spokesperson for the Ambulance service said:
"We were called to reports of a man having fallen approximately 25 feet from a railway bridge along a disused line and an ambulance crew was sent. Although the nearest location given was Ashby Road , Tamworth , the patient was actually two fields from the road. Therefore the West Midlands Ambulance Service Hazardous Area Response Team and a police helicopter were deployed.
"The patient, a man in his twenties, was found with head and leg injuries. He was immobilised with the use of a spinal board and neck collar and was flown to Selly Oak Hospital . One of the paramedics from the Hazardous Area Response team accompanied the patient en route to the hospital."

Economic Fundamentals - Economic Indicators
There are various economic activities that one can look at to try to identify where the economy is in the business cycle. An individual can also use these economic indicators as a way to try and predict the direction of the economy in the future. The 3 types of economic indicators are:
- Leading indicators

Leading Indicators
Leading indicators are business conditions that change prior to a change in the overall economy. These indicators can be used as a gauge for the future direction of the economy. Leading indicators include:
- Building permits
- Stock market prices
- Money supply (M2)
- New orders for consumer goods
- Average weekly initial claims in unemployment
- Changes in raw material prices
- Changes in consumer or business borrowing
- Average work week for manufacturing
- Changes in inventories of durable goods
Coincident Indicators
Changes in the economy cause an immediate change in the activity level of coincident indicators. As the business cycle changes, the level of activity in coincident indicators can confirm where the economy is. Coincident indicators include:
- Industrial production
- Personal income
- Employment
- Average number of hours worked
- Manufacturing and trade sales
- Non agricultural employment
Lagging Indicators
Lagging indicators will only change after the state of the economy has changed direction. Lagging indicators can be used to confirm the new direction of the economy. Lagging indicators include:
- Average Duration of Unemployment
- Corporate profits
- Labor costs
- Consumer debt levels
- Commercial and industrial loans
- Business loans

because everyone needs a nice hot pink & grey piece of chevron paper.
don't they?
« i made some chevron paper! | Main | good things »
Hot damn, hot pink!
I absolutely DO need this! Thank you, Mary Ann! XOXO
You are so AWESOME! YOU ARE SO AWESOME! THANKS FOR THE PAPER! YIPPY!
You're the gift that keeps on giving.
Have a lovely crafty weekend.
Any chance the Chevron Fairy might make some green and white chevron paper? Or maybe yellow and blue? Pretty please with cherries and marshmallows on top? Also, did you know that Cute Tape sells little paper goodie bags with chevron patterns on it? Just saying...not that any of us shop at that website - hahahaha!
Thanks again Mary Anne. Don't know which one I like best, red or pink, so I downloaded them both! Slowly thinking about making a California book. Truly appreciating all your work. ;o))
Oh you one racy lady!
I like the gray - nice choice
Isn't it great, the way the chevrons jump about? On this and the last one.
A good find!

@fifg/s I Patented March 30, 1971 3 Sheets-Sheet 5 I APPARATUS FOR INTERFOLDING WEBS BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF INVENTION In the production of interfolded toweling, tissues, etc. folding rolls are employed in pairs, each pair having at least one tucker element and one gripper element with the tucker of one roll cooperating with the gripper of the other roll to develop a fold. In the past, the machinery required to bring the webbing to the stage of interfolding has been not only complex but lengthy in terms of production line requirements. In particular, the means for severing the webs usually was located at some distance from the folding rolls, and thus it was necessary to transport discrete lengths of web material, a proposition which makes high speed operation difficult. By virtue of the instant invention wherein folding and cutoff bedrolls are arranged and constructed to provide a discrete amount of slack and means for accommodating the web slackness, I have overcome the heretofore existent drawbacks, particularly the limitations on higher speed operation.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION The invention is described in conjunction with an illustrative embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. I is a side elevational view, partially schematic, of apparatus embodying the teachings of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary side elevational view of the elements seen in the central portion of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view such as would be seen along the sight line 3-3 applied to FIG. 2; and
FIGS. 48 are fragmentary side elevational views depicting in sequence the handling of webbing between two folding rolls.
Referring now to FIG. I, .the numeral designates generally a frame for the machine and it will be appreciated that the frame normally includes two integrated side frames capable of providing journals or bearings for a plurality of rolls supported on the frame. In the illustration given, the numerals II, I2, I3, and I4 (at the extreme left of FIG. I) designate expander rolls which are employed for guiding webs I5, l6, l7, and 18 into the interfolding station. The webs I5 and I6 are joined by being passed over first and second draw rolls I9 and 2t) while the webs I7 and I8 are united by passing around in partial wrapping engagement and traveling with) draw rolls 2! and 22.
The numerals 23 and 24 (see the upper portion of FIG. I) designate, respectively, an upper cutoff roll and an upper cutoff bedroll employed to transversely sever the now united webs I5 and I6. By the same token, the numerals 25 and 26 designate, respectively, a lower cutoff bedroll and a lower bedroll for transversely cutting the joined webs I7 and 18. In FIG. 2, the rolls 25 and 26 are seen, and it will be noted that the roll 25 is equipped with a knife 27 while the roll 26 is equipped with a copperating slot 28. A plurality of knives and slots of this character are provided in each of the rolls, the number being determined by the relationship of the severed web length to the roll circumference.
The numerals 29 and 30 designate pinch rolls which operate against the bedrolls 24 and 26, respectively, to insure compaction and adherence thereto of the respective webs. The numerals 3I and 32 designate the folding rolls which are seen in greater detail in FIGS. 2 and 4-8. Extending to the right (in FIG. I) of the folding rolls 31 and 32 is a delivery unit 33 in which the interfolded webs are removed from the vicinity of the folding rolls under the guidance of packers 33a and 33b.
OPERATION It is believed that the operation of the invention can best be understood by reference to the third drawing sheet, i.e., FIGS. 4-8. In FIG. 4, the numeral 31 again designates the upper folding roll, while the numeral 24 designates the upper bedroll. The symbol W designates the web being advanced toward interfolding and which has been made up of the previously described webs I5 and I6. It will be appreciated that the rolls 24 and 31 shown in FIG. 4 are oppositely oriented from the showing in FIGS. I and 2, as if viewed from the opposite side of the machine. The bedroll 24 is equipped with a notch 34 in its periphery for each of the cooperating tucker elements 35 provided in the folding roll 3I. Additionally, each tucker element is coupled to a vacuum source (not shown) by means of bore 36, channel 37, and bore 370. The bore 36 is within the block providing the abutmentconstituting the tucker adjacent channel 37, while the bore 37a-extends through the interior of the folding roll 3I, ultimately being coupled to a vacuum manifold. Such a manifold is shown relative to the folding roll 32, as at 38, in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The web W is caused to adhere to the periphery of the bedroll 24 by means of another vacuum manifold as at 39 in FIG. 2. The rolls 24 and 3ll are sized (in the illustration given) so that gearing of the same diameter as the respective rolls will result in the folding rolls being rotated slower than the bedroll. Phrased alternatively, the surface speed of the roll 31 is slower than that of the bedroll 24. Folding roll 3I is smaller in order to accommodate the tucked in and gripped leading and trailing edges of the cut web sections.
Turning now to FIG. 5, the rolls 3! and 24 are seen a short time later in their respective rotations. The tucker element 35 now has taken control of the web W by virtue of the vacuum applied to the trailing edge 40 of the tucker 35. Because of the difference in speed between the two rolls, a slack portion S is developed on the entering side of the nip defined by the close proximity of the rolls 24 and 31. As the rolls 3I and 24 continue to rotate, the condition of FIG. 6 is reached wherein the slack S is now seen to be received within a pocket 41 provided in the folding roll 31. The pocket 4I also provides a mounting space for a gripper element 42. The gripper element 42, in accordance with conventional practice, is pivotally mounted so as to shift positions, i.e., to that designated 42 in FIG. 8, and thus cooperate with the tucker 35 in confining a web portion.
Referring now to FIG. 7, the rolls 31 and 24 are seen in the condition corresponding to a short time after the condition depicted in FIG. 6. By now the slack S is on the leaving side of the nip between the rolls 24 and 31, thereby being available to accommodate the interfolding action developed between the grippers and tuckers. In FIG. 8 the lower folding roll 32 is also seen which provides the gripper 42 previously mentioned. The gripper 42' acts against an anvil surface 43 which serves to partially define the pocket 41, being urged thereagainst by cam action.
VACUUM ARRANGEMENT Each of the rolls 24, 26, 31, and 32 is equipped with a vacuum manifold which advantageously may take the construction seen in FIG. 3. There the folding roll 32 is seen to be equipped with a journal 44, and inwardly of the journal is a reduced diameter portion 45 which communicates with the various vacuum bores, i.e., the channels 37, for example. The reduced diameter section 45 is provided as part of the roll 32 and rotates therewith. Provided as a stationary part of the frame 10 (see FIG. 2) is the manifold 33, which is springloaded against the section 45, defining a passage 46 therewith. The passage 46 communicates through a suitable conduit 47 (see the lower right-hand portion of FIG. 2) with the vacuum pump (not shown).
Referring now to FIG. 2, it is seen that the lower folding roll 32 is equipped with four tuckers and four grippers.
One of the tuckers 35 (here it will be appreciated that all of the remaining tuckers in both of the folding rolls are identical) is seen positioned immediately radially outwardly of the axially extending intemal channel 37 provided in the folding roll 32. The channel 37 serves as an initial manifold for applying vacuum substantially along the length of the tucker 35. To communicate the channel 37 with the manifold 33, an essentially diametral bore 370 is provided in the roll 32. This corresponds to the previously referred to bore or passage 37a identified in FIG. 4 and relative to the folding roll 31. The passage 37a is provided within the reduced diameter section 45 so as to communicate with the passage 46. In operation, vacuum is applied to the tip of the tucker 35 during the arc of its rotation from about 8 o'clock (as shown) to about 12 clock (as shown). Because of the proximity of the two folding rolls to each other and the difficulty of placing manifolds at the 8 to l2 o'clock positions relative to folding roll 32 in FIG. 2, I have positioned the manifold 38 approximately diametrically opposite to take advantage of more available space. This has necessitated the additional bore 37a previously referred In contrast to the foregoing, there is no such space limitation applicable to the cutoff bedrolls 26 and 24. In FIG. 2, the bedroll 26 is seen to function in conjunction with the manifold 39 and axial bores as at 49 and 50 communicate with the manifold 39. The axial bore 49 (as seen in FIG. 2) is no longer in communication with the manifold 39, thereby releasing its holding force relative to a web traveling therewith. This makes possible the transfer of the web from the bedroll 26 to the folding roll 32, the tucker element 35 now being vacuum actuated to effect this transfer. However, the bore 50 is still in communication with the vacuum manifold 39 so as to retain against the periphery of the roll 26 the tail of a web just released from the bedroll 26, thereby corresponding to the showing in FIG. 5.
In FIG. 2, the configuration of elements is such as to illustrate a transverse cutting just about to occur by coaction of the knife 27 and slot 28. As this does occur, the leading edge of the severed web will be urged against the periphery of the bedroll 26 by the action of the vacuum in the bore 51, spaced just rearwardly of the slot 28 (considered in the direction of roll rotation). It will be noted that the bore 51 communicates with a recess 52 in the periphery of the roll 26 by means of a bore 53. At an instant shortly after that depicted in FIG. 2, the bore 51 is in communication, i.e. in registry, with the manifold 39 which extends between the points 54 and 55 as designated in FIG. 2.
From the foregoing description. it is seen that a highly compact arrangement is provided to'transfer the severed web from a bedroll to a folding roll without the need of intervening web supporting and traveling apparatus. Requisite amounts of slack are readily provided, this being necessary to accommodate the interfolding operation, but without the need for losing control over the web. Each web segment is under the influence of the vacuum system from the time it is created (by the transverse severing) until the time of interfolding with a web W (see FIG. 8).
I claim:
1. In folding apparatus for toweling and the like wherein sheets are delivered in a V-interfolded arrangement, means for advancing two continuous webs past cutoff means, means for traveling the severed webs about vacuum-equipped bedrolls, and means for interfolding the webs including vacuum-equipped folding rolls having tuckers and grippers, the improvement characterized by the fact that means are operatively associated with said folding rolls and bedrolls for rotating the folding rolls at a surface speed slower than the surface speed of said bedrolls, each tucker being equipped with a vacuum connection arranged to temporarily adhere the leading edge of a severed web to the tucker tip, each gripper having associated therewith a web-receiving pocket just forwardly of the gripper whereby the slack developed by the speed differential of the folding roll and bedroll is temporarily stored in said pocket.
2. The apparatus of claim I in which a vacuum manifold is operably associated with each folding roll, the manifold for each folding roll being located approximately diametrically opposite that section of the folding roll which supports the web approaching interfolding.

Increasing the resolution of the clock will also increase clock interrupt overhead. Past a certain point it will take 100% of the CPU, hence nothing except the clock will run. There is a worse problem: if you really need to run things at a certain time with microsecond resolution, you are asking the obsd scheduler to do what it was never designed to do. The obsd schedule was designed to deliver acceptable interactive performance, and the scheduling contants were mainly selected to "look nice" to human users. You apparently want a scheduler designed for "real-time" scheduling, and you are certainly asking for accuracy in scheduling which wouldn't be visible to human users. You probably have 2 choices: (1) analyze your problem: can it be designed as a device driver? If so, you may be able to run it under obsd, probably after hacking the clock code to implement high precision timeout code. (2) select another OS that actually has real-time scheduling in it. "rtmach" aka real time mach might be interesting to look at: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/art-6/www/rtmach.html There is an endless assortment of small commercial operating systems designed to deliver varying degrees of real-timeness; some come with source; some look something like Unix; some are neither. It might help if you can better describe what problem you are trying to solve. -Marcus Watts

Pioneering winemaker Randall Grahm to visit ToledoWritten by Amy Campbell | | email@example.com
Toledo will host one of California's wine pioneers Sunday, Aug. 5, when Bonny Doon Vineyard's Randall Grahm visits the Glass City for two area events.
Grahm, founder of Bonny Doon Vineyard and a 2010 Vintners Hall of Fame inductee, created a new frontier in winemaking in the early 1980s by cultivating European Rhone varietal grapes in California. He was also one of the first advocates of "non-cork closures" – screwcaps – and an ahead-of-the-curve practitioner of organic and biodynamic vineyard practices. The results of Grahm's pursuits include Boony Doon's Le Cigare Voulant, a blended red currently awaiting its twenty-fifth bottling.
On Aug. 5, Grahm will be on hand for a pay-per-sample Bonny Doon tasting from noon to 3 p.m. at Walt Churchill's Market, 3320 Briarfield Blvd. in Maumee. That evening, Grahm and his Bonny Doon wines will be featured at the first winemaker dinner at the new Registry Bistro, 144 N. Superior St. in Toledo. The dinner begins at 6 p.m. and includes five courses for $60 per person, tax and gratuity extra. To reserve your seats, call Registry Bistro at 419-725-0444.

Halloween only comes once a year. As a result, Halloween costumes, well, usually only get worn once or twice. Chances are, most costumes are still in good enough shape to be passed along to another child.
From that simple idea, Halloween just got more parent- and planet-friendly, thanks to the launch of National Costume Swap Day.
Drop off your swap-able costumes at Augusta Heights Baptist Church 4 p.m. 7 p.m. Oct. 8 and 9 a.m. 12 p.m. Oct. 9. In exchange for costume(s), participants will be given a Swap Ticket to be brought back for the swap event 6:30 p.m. 8:30 p.m. Oct. 11.
Through the efforts of a grassroots, non-profit known as Green Halloween, families in the area are being invited to take a greener approach to Halloween. Something as simple as a costume swap does make a difference.
According to the Green Halloween website, In fact, swapping the costumes of only half of the children who celebrate Halloween would reduce annual landfill waste by 6,250 tons, equivalent to the weight of 2,500 midsize cars.
