(Nasdaq:EXPO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2012, revenues before reimbursements increased 7% to $65,049,000, as compared to $60,524,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenues increased 7% to $72,946,000, as compared to $67,916,000 in the same period one year ago. Net income for the fourth quarter increased 10% to $8,472,000, or $0.60 per diluted share, as compared to $7,731,000, or $0.54 per diluted share, reported in the same quarter one year ago. EBITDA^1 improved 10% to $15,607,000, as compared to $14,139,000 in the fourth quarter last year. For fiscal year 2012, revenues before reimbursements increased 8% to $266,562,000, as compared to $246,667,000, in 2011. Total revenues increased 7% to $292,653,000, as compared to $272,446,000 in the prior year. Net income for fiscal year 2012 improved 14% to $37,225,000, or $2.60 per diluted share, as compared to $32,695,000, or $2.22 per diluted share, reported in the prior year. EBITDA^1 improved 12% to $66,132,000, as compared to $58,994,000, in 2011. During 2012, Exponent generated $48.5 million in cash flow from operations, repurchased $23.4 million of its common stock, and closed the year with $134.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. "The fourth quarter concluded another good year of revenue growth and profitability for Exponent," commented Dr. Paul Johnston, President and CEO. "During our fourth quarter, we experienced good demand for both proactive and reactive services and continued to benefit from activity related to a few major assignments – resulting in high utilization despite our seasonally slower quarter. Additionally, our defense technology development practice had strong surveillance system product sales. "Throughout 2012, we assisted a wide range of clients in addressing significant technological, health and environmental matters by leveraging our breadth of disciplines and depth of engineering and scientific knowledge. We grew our consulting staff while achieving record utilization. "For the year, we had notable contributions in our environmental and health segment from our environmental sciences, ecological sciences, and chemical regulation and food safety practices. In our engineering and other scientific segment we had notable performances from our mechanics and materials, electrical, thermal, and engineering management consulting practices. "We previously communicated that over the last couple of years a few major assignments have accounted for a greater than usual percentage of revenues, and that there would be an impact on year-over-year revenue growth and profit margins when these assignments stepped down. As we enter 2013 we have experienced this anticipated step-down in these major assignments. Additionally, we are seeing the impact of constraints on defense spending and the reduction of forces in Afghanistan. As a result we expect 2013 revenues before reimbursements to be approximately flat with 2012 and EBITDA^1 margin to be down 250 to 300 basis points. "As we look forward we will continue to build upon our differentiated market position as a multidisciplinary engineering and scientific consulting firm with unparalleled technical expertise and experience. We remain optimistic about our market opportunities and look forward to translating these into long-term shareholder value," concluded Dr. Johnston.

Remember Me
Daptone is the home of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band and more. They help keep funk and soul a vibrant thing and deserve any help our readers can provide in resolving this matter.
List of Missing Gear:
Fender Super Guitar Amp in case
Fender Deluxe Guitar Amp
A whole bunch of headphones and wires
Nydia's HP laptop computer
One Desktop MacIntosh Computer
One Purple Audio API style lunchbox with four Purple Audio Biz mic pre-amps
2 Yamaha NS10 monitors
Vintage Harmony Rocket Guitar
One steel string acoustic guitar
Martin Tenor sax in a gig bag
Technics 1200 turntable
Ion USB turntable
Teac Receiver/stereo amp
Sony dual deck CD burner/player
All of our modem/phone system stuff was ripped out and taken.
A whole bunch of condensor and dynamic microphones
A baldwin organ was tossed and is probably broken
Lacie External hard drive
Daptone asks that you contact them with any relevent information at:
Tour Daptone Records:
this is terrible!!
Many of the daptone artists play vintage instruments.
this is part of how they obtain the old school sound that they all produce.
The poets of rhythm
the daktaris << nigerian
sugarman 3
the mighty imperials
sharon jones and the dapkings.
the budos band
and others.
All of these bands are totally and completely cool as sh*t!!!
if you like old school funk and soul that is.
peace and good luck to daptone!!
much of those instruments are irreplaceable and I do hope they get them back. good luck Daptone!! We love you here at WUTC FM.
www.wutc.org peace.
Damn Sharon,
I love all your work. I will be on the lookout. I can't believe some scumbags would do such a thing!
wow what dicks to come in an do that
that has to be over 100,000 in preamps and microphones alone
fucking people
good luck to the guys on recovering
so i've noticed some jambase folks prone to misunderstanding lately so i would like to preface by piggybacking those above and say that the thief(ves) are fucking low-lifes!
that said, the studio did give mtv a tour of their multimillion dollar studio in bushwick(of all places) to be aired on cable to everyone. the broadcast revealed some substantial security flaws and seemed to act as an open invitation to any would-be man-crust to come and rob them.
i love these artists and have seen several of them numerous times live and will continue to do so. i would still have to submit that their own negligence and naivety played a role in this.
hopefully they catch the burglars but it's a bigger hope of mine that daptone gets a little more serious about running a business.
what a bunch of crap. daptone puts out some of the best music in the biz, this is damn shame
It was probably Winehouse's ex. Crack bender!
Hope you get your gear back!
I suggest you do what you parents did sir. GET A JOB! The bums will always loose, the bums will always loose.
Did they get tht salmon that appears @ 3:50 in the vid? If not, the crooks will def be back.
wtf. whats with all these bands getting robbed... now a whole studio gets cased? didn't someone just drive off with all the stooges gear in canada a couple weeks back?
i HATE the insurance companies, but don't these people buy insurance for there multi-million-dollar investments?
they should be covered even if those instruments are vintage, it's not like there aren't more vintage instruments out there in the world....
I hope someone goes down hard for this crime(anally raped by a police baton would suffice), but these people and their organizations, need to better monitor their shit.
What terrible news. With the loss of Coleman Mellett (sugarmen 3)in the recent plane crash and then this. Well It looks like I'll be lookin' out on ebay and craigslist for any of those Items hopefuly something will come of it and we can catch who(m) ever done this.
seriously this could have been an inside job. why does this place not have security cameras?
this really blows a donkey dick! karmas a bitch though....something will come up...ill keep my eye out
i seriously doubt that it was an inside job. this label puts out the funkiest soul today and of the past 30 years. A true shame. To whom ever did it, fuck you you fucking fuck
Was that Hal the Broken Clown's salmon friend? Maybe Hal left him up there on his last voyage.
Seriously, I agree with what stoops had to say on the matter. This is complete BS and the people that did this will get what they deserve.
if anyone's interested, amazon has a free daptone sampler (this is daptone records). try a little/buy a little. help get these guys back on their feet.
Guys, I am soo soo sorry to hear about this. This a damn shame. You are one of the few studios with that old school feel and vibe and it is just a damn shame that someone would do this to you.

Looks really great so far!
Just two questions:
1. Is that railing sturdy enough so actors can lean on it? The old story of giving them something to interact with.
2. Are you still planning to add glued-on access panels to break up a few wall areas and add button graphics to the empty areas near the captain's hands?
Looking forward to your impressions of the upcoming christening of the set. If there's anything I can do to help just drop me a line.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Barricades Place In Front Of Building For Safety
(Le Mars) -- People walking in the downtown district perhaps have noticed barricades that have been put in place in front of a vacant building located on the east side of Central Avenue. The placement of the barricades has led to several questions and rumors regarding the structure of the building. City building and code enforcement officer Jason Vacera says the public doesn't need to worry, the structure is sound, and not in any danger of collapsing. Vacera says the barricades are there to keep people safe from the restoration of the building's façade project. Vacera says the building is part of the 20 building CDBG grant project, but since it is currently a vacant building, contractors didn't want to have the public interfere with their work.

Vacera says there is nothing to the rumors about the building structure being unsafe.

Northey will speak at 7:00 p.m. The Plymouth County Farm Bureau annual meeting will be held in Century Hall at the Plymouth County Fairgrounds.
Attorney General Says He Can't Investigate Planned Parenthood
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says since Iowa has no laws governing the transfer of fetal tissue his office has no authority to investigate abortion providers about the practice of donating tissue for research.
Republican lawmakers delivered a letter in August to Miller asking him to investigate abortion practices.
The lawmakers wanted to know how abortion providers dispose of aborted tissue and if any fetal organs are sold or donated.
Miller told them in a response Friday federal authorities oversee the transfer of donated fetal tissue.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, which operates 13 Iowa clinics, voluntarily offered answers, saying it has never accepted donated fetal tissue for research.
Controversy emerged with the release of secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing aborted fetal organs provided for research.
Marshalltown Woman Charged With Animal Neglect And Child Endangerment
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) - Police have charged a Marshalltown school board member with child endangerment and animal neglect after finding numerous pets in her home, including two dead cats.
Someone called police Tuesday to express concern about the living conditions of school board member Kendall Derby's 13-year-old child.
Police say when officers arrived, they found eight cats and two dogs as well as animal feces throughout the home. Two of the cats were dead.
Department of Human Services workers have placed the child with a family friend.
Police charged Derby on Thursday. She was released from jail Friday after paying a $6,700 bond.
When approached by a reporter in the jail building, she entered a restroom. She emerged at the request of a deputy and declined to comment.
District officials say they can't force Derby to resign from the school board.
New University Of Iowa President - Select Dismisses Faculty Doubts
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - University of Iowa president-select J. Bruce Harreld has erased doubts about his qualifications before, but this time could be an even tougher sell.
Many faculty, staff and students are revolting against Harreld's appointment as Iowa's president, arguing the businessman was the least qualified out of four finalists.
In 1995, many were skeptical when IBM recruited Harreld from the fast-growing Boston Market restaurant chain to be its top strategist. Critics asked why the technology company put its future in the hands of a chicken salesman.
But according to Harreld and former colleagues, his 13-year tenure was successful. He's credited with helping turn around IBM by working with teams to explore new business opportunities that eventually brought in billions in revenue.
A former colleague says Harreld will succeed by listening and leading.
New University Of Iowa Not Interested In Tenure
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A spokeswoman says the University of Iowa's president-select will not seek a tenured professorship despite contract language giving him that right.
A contract released Friday shows J. Bruce Harreld was granted a tenured position in the College of Business "subject to the recommendation of the faculty" that he could assume after he left the presidency. He would be paid consistent with the highest paid professor in the college.
The provision was surprising because Harreld said Tuesday he wasn't interested in receiving tenure, a perk common for university presidents. The regents also hadn't granted a tenured position to Bill Ruud when he was hired as University of Northern Iowa president in 2013.
UI spokeswoman Jeneane Beck said Harreld didn't make tenure a condition of his employment and wouldn't seek the position.
Canoe Team Travel From Gulf Of Mexico To Artic
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - A team from Minnesota and Iowa has completed a 5,200-mile canoe journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic.
The six-member Rediscovering North America crew finished their 244-day expedition at noon Tuesday in the town of Kugluktuk, in the Canadian Arctic province of Nunavut.
Cathedral High School graduate Winchell Delano told the St. Cloud Times that they're in good health and plan to return to Minnesota on Saturday.
Winchell says they finished the last stretch - a 12-mile length of the Coppermine River that rounded a peninsula and entered Coronation Gulf, a finger of the Arctic Ocean that reaches into Nunavut - in rain, cold and 20-to-25 mph winds.
The crew was ready to paddle through Sept. 30 if necessary. They launched January 2th. Delano says they paddled 199 of the 244 days.

editor's review
CoreMeter is a tiny widget which you can use to keep track of the current CPU and memory usage. It can be handled by all users who need to know how much resources the computer is consuming, such as avid video gamers, program designers and graphic editors.
The app's interface is based on a small frame with an uncomplicated design. It can be moved to any spot on the desktop, with the help of the mouse cursor.
The main application window shows a progress bar and percentage level of all CPU cores, along with the total used RAM.
A wide range of settings can be configured from the Settings area. For instance, you can hide the average values and customize the appearance (e.g. background colors, bar transparency, text color, cores and memory graph). In addition, you can specify the temperature source (core, SpeedFan).
The lightweight app uses a pretty low amount of CPU and system memory, so it does not interfere with the runtime of currently active processes. It has a good response time and didn't cause us any issues during our tests, such as making Windows freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Thanks to its intuitive layout, CoreMeter can be handled even by first-time users.

Week 2: It begins
By Thomson Gilles, MBA 2015
Sunday, August 23 – It's Sunday afternoon here in DC, and I finally have a few minutes to get some words on paper (or on screen as the case may be) about his past week. The past week was the second of three weeks of the MBA institute. For those who don't already know, it is a three week long orientation to get us back in the swing of things school-wise. The first week has a lot of events designed to get us excited, but this week was a big eye opener. For starters, we're earning 3 credits from 2 different classes in the span of 12 days. As you can imagine, we're all getting bombarded with work. The first class is from the Career Center and is designed to get us prepped for interviews. A lot of the information is given in class, which is nice because our other class is a bit more intense…but more on that later.
At the beginning of the week, we started out with a few math refreshers to get our brains warmed back up. I personally haven't been out of school for very long, but I have classmates who are in their 30s and 40s. And are married. And have kids. The sessions were a great refresher and I feel more confident moving in to the actual classes. This coming week, we have similar sessions with Excel practice which I'm really looking forward to. I took an Excel class in college, but I pretty much forgot everything (now I see the point of these refreshers).
We also had an Alumni Roundtable event where we had the opportunity to sit with some former GW students (from various decades). I got matched with the two alumni on the list that caught my interest from the get-go (which was nice), and had some great conversations with others over the course of the evening.
Strategy Fundamentals is our second class, and it's all about business strategy (YA THINK?!). The course involves analyzing a number of different cases and then giving recommendations as to what we would do in that situation. The professor is this sharply dressed German man by the name of Dr. Jorge Walter. He reminds me a lot of my AP Econ teacher in high school, not only in looks but in their sheer furor and excitement about the material. It's really energizing for us students too, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that looks forward to his class. It is also the first opportunity that we have to do some real work with our team. 50% of the grade is based on a 10-page team paper about one of the cases that is presented in class. We had a chance to sit down a few days to map out our approach to the case. I feel pretty confident going in, and our team is all on board as to how we should do the work. I am a big fan of the logic-based thinking that case studies require, and its making me more comfortable about what is to come.
Speaking of the future, we have a case competition at the end of next week presented by Gartner Inc. Apparently, some of the winners last year were offered internships based solely on the results. How awesome would it be to get my internship search out of the way before the semester even starts? Fingers crossed on that one. Also, one of my classmates (you know who you are) shared my blog with someone, somewhere and now it will be featured on the official GWMBA blog which is super cool. It's nice to know that someone other than my mom is reading this thing. Shout out to Heidi.

GW Consulting Abroad – Rwanda
One of the highlights of the Global MBA programs is the Consulting Abroad Project (CAP). As a first year student, all GMBAs are required to participate in one of several CAPs that place our classmates around the globe and utilize the business skills they spent their first year developing. CAP is an incredible way to finish off your studies while traveling with your friends across the world!
For my CAP project I traveled to Kigali, Rwanda. Having never been to Africa before, or south of the equator for that matter, working in Rwanda forced me to challenge myself and pursue opportunities outside my comfort zone. Coming from a corporate background, doing business in Rwanda meant shedding many of the preconceived notions of business practices I had developed in my professional experiences and replacing those with a more entrepreneurial outlook.
In Rwanda I worked directly with a small-business owner looking to introduce "coffee-tourism" to his already operating coffee plantation. Having survived the 1994 genocide, our client's goal was to revitalize his community through opportunities at the coffee plantation.
Our team was able to analyze his business plan, forecast his costs and revenues through financial modeling, and develop a brand marketing strategy plan for our client that brought the story of his coffee plantation to life. The highlight of our trip to Rwanda was undoubtedly the relationship we built with our client; from hiking the fields of the plantation to discussing strategy over cups of delicious coffee, we were extremely proud of the final product we were able to deliver to our client and struggled to say goodbye! Thankfully, our client made sure we returned to D.C. with some of his amazing coffee to share with our classmates.
Consulting internationally in Rwanda was a defining moment in my business school career. Not only did the experience introduce me to a part of the world I had never visited previously, it also taught me how to think on my feet and use my business skills to their full potential. And while CAP is an academic experience, we had a lot of fun too; from day-trips to Lake Kivu to a weekend safari, Rwanda allowed me to meet some of the most amazing people, try the tastiest passion fruit, and even get chased by elephants!
Warmest Regards,

2014 Career Fairs!
There is never a dull moment in the MBA. The past two weeks have been filled with travels. Many of us went to Atlanta where we attended the 2014 National Black MBA Association Career Conference and later Philadelphia where the 2014 National Society of Hispanic MBAs Conference was held. These conferences, which become a staple of any MBA, provide you with the opportunity to network and potentially interview for both internships and full time offers with top Fortune 500 companies including Samsung, General Electric, ExxonMobil, Microsoft, Accenture, Johnson & Johnson, Delta Airlines, GlaxoSmithKline, and many more!
For many of my colleagues, it was their first experience, which was a bit overwhelming. Picture this, a large convention center filled with dozens of booths and several hundred people walking around, waiting in line, talking to recruiters, and hoping to secure some interviews. Sounds like a lot right? At first it could be a bit unnerving, especially when you have to compete with students from other MBAs. Yet, you will have to deal with those types of situations in the business world, so getting practice early in the year is an advantage. It is also a great educational experience that provides perspective on the amount of opportunities there are for people with business degrees and the immensity of companies that are interested in MBA talent. One of the most valuable outcomes of these career fairs is the networking component. You get to meet a diverse group of people and hear about their careers and experiences. You also have the opportunity to share your story and connect with people that may end up providing you with a great opportunity in the future. In the very least, it's an excuse to travel to a new city!
Aside from the fairs, you have the opportunity to explore the city itself. I had never been to Atlanta or Philadelphia before, but I was able to explore the city with friends. It was a nice way to take a break from the hustle of Washington, D.C. and also a great opportunity to explore other job markets and see whether these cities may potentially be your residence for the summer or for the post-MBA years. There are a couple of other fairs coming up such as the Net Impact Fair in Minneapolis and the National Asian MBA Association in Boston. Now that we are back in D.C., it is time for us to catch up on work and follow up on those career leads. Although I am a bit exhausted, I look forward to the prospect of interviewing with some of the companies I spoke to and see what job offers I end up getting. Stay tuned
A Summer of Reflection
What a year! I never expected that my first year of business school at GW would have given me so many experiences. The wealth of knowledge that I gained was immense, and although there were some intimidating times (especially during data analysis and accounting), I welcomed a good challenge. I am not going to lie, I was unsure of myself at first, especially when being surrounded by such smart and intellectual individuals but then I realized that we were all a little unsure of ourselves. Yet, as long as you have a good support network of professors and friends (which all of us had), you will do great. So after a crazy and exhausting 1st year, we welcomed summer with open arms.
What's the best way to kick-off your summer as an MBA? By going abroad and getting an extraordinary internship of course! The GMBAs had the once in a lifetime opportunity to travel the globe and put their business skills to the test in places such as China, Turkey, India, Rwanda, and Argentina for the Consulting Abroad Projects. Seeing all that hard work pay off and having the experience of spending two weeks in a foreign country with some of your best friends is quite an experience. Throughout the summer my friends and colleagues, had incredible internships in various industries including consulting, finance, marketing, sports, human resources, strategy, and much more. We got to apply the skills we learned in class, solve real-world business problems, make lasting connections, and learn what our ultimate careers would look like. I interned with a federal human capital consulting firm where I got to work on a variety of projects for agencies of the US government including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
Looking back at the summer, many of us put our experiences into perspective and realized what an MBA really means. It isn't just about learning how to manage a business but how to make an impact in a global context and finding your role in the greater scheme of things. Now we look forward to our 2nd years with much enthusiasm and wonder what GW has in store for us. Stay tuned to find out more!

User errors now have greater consequences because threats are more sophisticated
When we address information technology security problems, we discover that technology is only part of the solution. The IT industry is adept at providing fixes for vulnerabilities, but that often creates the problem of too many technologies seeking to be silver bullets.
The industry has marketing employees who are experts at identifying problems and offering solutions. We have a healthy fear of attacks that exploit our IT vulnerabilities, so we are motivated to seek solutions quickly and not wait for an architectural solution that could be applied agencywide.
But that attitude leads us to create systems and networks that are not interoperable. When no common architecture exists, organizations must invest in extensive and expensive training in a variety of solutions. In the long run, information systems security suffers and the total cost of ownership skyrockets.
People using computers and the professionals maintaining networks and systems are the source of the problem, which means that training all employees is an essential step in managing an IT security program. Users who are not trained to detect phishing and pharming attacks or spyware can open dangerous backdoors to hackers. You cannot maintain a secure environment when it is layered on top of overworked IT employees who are not up-to-date on system and device patching and who operate without secure system configurations.
But let's not overlook management's role. Consider what happens when managers leave IT to the experts and view it simply as administrative overhead. Without a knowledgeable and involved management team, your IT program will be constantly reacting to catastrophes and budgeting nightmares. Historically, the first thing administrators cut during a budget shortfall is training. That practice must be reversed. We need trained people now more than ever.
We have entered a period in which managers and system owners must be aware that their failure to acknowledge the risks involved in conducting business electronically makes them subject to liability — at both the corporate and personal levels. Several lawsuits alleging insufficient protection of personal data have resulted in judgments or settlements.
IT security threats have grown more sophisticated, and their number is expanding exponentially. Security experts are often caught off-guard. Infections are stealthy, and we can no longer be certain that we have completely cleansed a device without rebuilding it — and often the network, too. User errors now have significant consequences.
The next time you get an e-mail message from your boss telling you to open an attachment with a dangerous extension or click on a link to download a white paper, be aware that your boss' e-mail address might have been "spoofed."
Good awareness and role-based IT security training can help reduce your risk, but sooner or later you will have an encounter. Have a remediation plan ready.

The alarm unit is so constructed that it will continue to operate until a part of the unit is dismantled to effect a deactivation of the alarm.
5 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PATENTED B 24 I972 3. 701 140 sum 1 [1F 2 INVENTOR RICHARD w. DIXON ATTORNEY PURSE THEFT ALARM SUMMARY It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an alarm unit which may be built into a ladys purse for automatically producing an audible alarm in response to a sudden pull or jerking forceexerted on the purse handle or carrying strap, such as would occur if a thief attempted to snatch the purse from its owner.
Another object of the invention is to provide an alarm unit which, once activated, will continue to operate until a part of the unit is dismantaled, so that if a thief succeeds in snatching thepurse from its owner the audible alarm will continue to function to guide police or other pursuers following the thief.
Another object of the invention is to provide a purse alarm which may be utilized by the owner to sound an alarm in the event she is in danger of being attacked, for calling help and/or for frightening away a would-beattacker.
Various other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter become more fully apparent from the following description of the drawings, illustrating a presently preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:'
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side elevational view, partly broken away, showing a ladys purse equipped with the alarm;
FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view, taken substantially along a plane as indicated by the line 2-2 of FIG. 1-
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring more specifically to the drawings, a ladys purse of a conventional type, designated generally 8; is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and2, and is shown equipped with the alarm, designated generally 9.
The body 10 of the purse 8 may be formed of any flexible material such as leather, cloth or plastic, as is conventional, and is supported by two arched-shaped substantially rigid frame members 11 and 12 in a conventional manner. The terminals of the frame members 11 and 12 are pivotally connected as seen at 13, in a manner conventional for ladies purses, so that when a latch 14 is released the frame members 11 and 12 may be swung apart to afford access to the contents of the purse body 10.
The alarm 9 includes a conventional dry cell battery or other suitable self-contained current source 1 5, an audible alarm 16, such as a horn or siren, two corresponding electric switches 17 and 18, and electrical wiring, which will hereinafter be described, connecting both switches to the current source 15 and to the alarm l6.
As seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, the switch 17 is secured to and supported on the underside of the member 11 and the switch 18 is supported on the underside of the member 12. Each switch includes a body 20 of electrical insulating material having an upwardly opening threaded bore 21 to receive a fastening screw 22 which extends downwardly through the frame member 11 or 12 by which said switch is supported, for securing the switch to the underside thereof. Each switch body 20 has a central bore 23 extending vertically therethrough and aligning with a bore 24 which extends vertically through the member 11 or 12, to which said body 20 is secured. A rod 25 extends through and is slidably mounted in the aligned bores 23 and 24 and has-a head 26 at its lower end which is formed of electrical conducting material and which is disposed below the body 20. I
The exposed upper end of each rod 25 has a transverse opening 27 extending therethrough toreceive a Y ring 28. In the embodiment as illustrated, a handle in the form of a flexible carrying strap 29 has its ends connected to the rings 28.
Each rod 25 has a restricted annular portion 29 which is concavely arced when viewed in side elevation, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, and a restricted portion 30 disposed beneath the portion 29 and which defines an annular downwardly facing shoulder 31.
Each body 20 has a longitudinal bore 32, an inner end of which opens into the bore 23 and an outer end of which opens through one end of the body 20. Said outer end portion is internally threaded, as seen at 33. The bores 21 and 32 are disposed on opposite sides of the bore 23. A detent 34 in the form of a pin is mounted for sliding movement in the inner end of the bore 32 and has a rounded forward end 35 which normally seats in the restricted rod portion 29, as seen in FIG. 3. The other rear end of the detent 34 constitutes a restricted stem 36 which engages in one end of a coiled compression spring 37. A screw 38 is adjustably threaded into the bore portion 33 and has an inwardly extending restricted stem 39 which engages the other end of the spring 37, for supporting the spring in the bore 32 between the detent 34 and screw 38. The stems 36 and 39 are sized to have frictional engagement with the end convolutions of the spring 37, so that when the screw 38 is removed from the bore portion 33 the spring 37 and detent 34 will be removed therewith.
Headed screws 40 engage in threaded sockets 41 which open outwardly of the bottom of each body 20, adjacent its ends. The screws 40 support conductor strips 42 and 43. The adjacent ends of the strips 42 and 43 straddle and are spaced from the rod 25. When the detent 34 is in engagement with the recessed rod portion 29, the head 26 is spaced from the strips 42 and 43. However, when the rod 25 is displaced upwardly so that the detent 34 engages the recess rod portion 30, as seen in FIG. 5, the head 26 contacts the adjacent ends of the two conductor strips 42 and 43, to form a conductor bridge between said conductor strips.
A conductor 44, as seen in FIG. 6, is connected to the conductor 42 of the switch 17 and to the positive terminal of the battery 15. A conductor 45 is connected to the conductor 42 of the switch 18 and to the conductor 44 so that both contact strips 42 are connected to the positive terminal of the battery 15. A conductor 46 leads from the conductor 43 of the switch 18 to one terminal or post of the audible alarm 16, and a conductor 47 connects the strip 43 of switch 17 to the conductor 46. A conductor 48 connects the other terminal or post of the alarm 16 to the negative terminal of the battery to complete the electric circuit.
Thus, it will be seen that when the rod of either switch 17 or 18 is displaced upwardly to its position of FIG. 5, by a sudden pull on the rod sufficient to cam the detent 34 out of the recess 29, the head 26 of said rod will complete the circuit of FIG. 6 by bridging the contacts 42 and 43 of said switch for causing the audible alarm to be sounded continuously until the fastening 38 of said switch is removed for removing the detent 34, so that the rod.25 can be displaced downwardly from its position of FIG. 5, toward its position of FIG. 3, sufficiently to movethe head 26 out of engagement with the conductors 42 and 43. This cannot be accomplished without removing the fastening 38 since the detent 34 by engagement with the annular shoulder 31 will prevent the rod 25 from being displaced downwardly sufficiently to disengage the head 26 from the conductor strips 42 and 43.
Thus, if a sudden pull or jerking force is exerted on the strap 29, as by someone attempting to snatch the purse 8 from its owner, one or both of the rods 25 will be moved from its position of FIG. 3 to its position of FIG. 5, for activating the horn or siren 16. The screw 38 can be adjusted in the bore portion 33 to vary the tension of the spring 37 and the amount of pulling force required to cam the detent 34 out of the recess 29, so that rod 25 can move from its position of FIG. 3 to its position of FIG. 5.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the battery 15 and signal 16 are preferably disposed in the bottom of the purse 8 beneath a false bottom 49. The false bottom 49 may be provided with a zipper or other closure 50 to afford access to the battery and signal. A bottom part of the body portion 10 may include a portion of open work construction, as seen at 51 of FIG. 1, beneath the signal 16, through which the sound produced by the signal 16 will escape from the purse 8 without being muffled.
Various modifications and changes are contemplated and may be resorted to without departing from the function or scope of the invention.
I claim as my invention:
1. A Iadys purse including a flexible carrying handle, an alarm unit carried by the purse including an electric current source and an electrically activated audible alarm, an electric circuit connecting the current source to the alarm, a normally open electric switch attached to the purse and interposed in the electric circuit, said switch including a part connected to an end of the carrying handle, said switch part being responsive to a sudden jerking or pulling force exerted on said handle end in a direction away from the purse for moving the switch to a circuit closing position whereby the audible alarm will be energized, said switch including detent means resisting movement of said part from a circuit interrupting to a circuit closing position, said switch part including a portion engaged by the detent means when the switch is in a circuit closing position to prevent movement of said switch part back to a circuit interrupting position without removal of the detent means from the switch.
. A purse as in claim 1, and means for ad usting said detent means for varying the amount of pull required to move the switch from a circuit interrupting to a circuit closing position.
3. A purse as in claim 1, a second switch, corresponding to the first mentioned switch, attached to the purse and having a part connected to the other end of the purse handle, said second switch being interposed in said electric circuit in a manner whereby when either switch is moved to a circuit closing position the audible signal will be energized.
4. A purse as in claim 1, said purse having a false bottom defining a concealed compartment containing the current source and audible signal. I
5. A purse as in claim 1, said purse having a portion of open work construction located adjacent the audible signal to permit egress from the purse of the sounds emitted by the signal.

Hey, tomorrow is Friday and that means Weed'em & Reap!!Posted Thursday, June 23, 2011, at 10:34 AM
Thought I would mention it folks. If we continue to have as much fun and useful exchange as last meeting, we may just forget about that change to a once per month summer schedule.
7:00 P.M., New Century Chinese Restaurant on Madison Street, in case it has not been burned into the back of your skull yet.
While the heat of summer is not the best time to transplant, if you just have to do it now, this week might be a good one with rain showers forecast for the next few days.
New plants need good watering and could use the overcast sky to settle in before having to face the full heat of our summers.
The showers could also be a good time to plant your next batch of veggies or flowers. Just a thought.

...useful exchange indeed (good information and some plants too)!
Espoontoon's rainbow peppers in the planters at work are doing great. Yesterday, my mother-in-law transferred the squash plant to the big garden. And I can't wait to see the onions "do their thing."
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this evening...will bring a bright red flowering geranium plant to the meeting if someone would like one.

I took the advice of earlier posters and doubled the spices. I thought the flavor was good, however my husband requested a little more heat in the spices next time we make it. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. We both agreed it's a keeper. It makes for a very quick and nice week night dinner. Left over chicken would be great on a salad the next day.flag if inappropriate
I'm on the fence about whether I would make this again. I might try it with boneless breasts or tenders next time. I also may marinate them. The spice mixture is good, but it did not flavor the chicken much.flag if inappropriate
Nice dish. I made chicken rolls. I used skinless boneless chicken breasts, pounded them flat, rubbed the spices on the inside, rolled 'em up then rubbed the spices on the outside. I followed the advice of using less salt. Good call. I deglazed the pan with chicken stock. Very good.flag if inappropriate
This chicken is delicious and simple to make. I have made it for three different groups and everyone loved the flavors. I found 1 tsp. salt in the spice rub to be too much, so I cut it in half and it was much better. Do not skip the deglazing step. It makes a wonderful "au jus". The jasmine rice makes an outstanding accompaniment.flag if inappropriate
We liked this a lot. I made it w/skinless breasts, and thought it came out fine. Served it with the asparagus w/hazelnuts--very nice.flag if inappropriate
This dish was fabulous because of its flavorful spice and easy to prepare! Following some of the previous suggestions, I doubled the spices (not the salt), used olive oil, and deglazed with white wine and chicken stock. I grilled the boneless, skinless breasts (which I had on hand) in a cast iron grill pan and halved the oven time. It was so quick, easy and delicious I would do it again.flag if inappropriate
I have to agree with the reviews that point out to use less salt. I did cut the salt amount and found it to salty, and I love salt. I concur with others regarding doubling the spices. There is not enought to cover both sides.flag if inappropriate
Very good. Easy. Took the advise of another reviewer & doubled the spices. I probably would have liked even more. Instead of using water to deglaze the pan I used white wine. Very tasty. Will try again.flag if inappropriate
I don't know what people are doing that this dish is 'bland'. Did you add all the requisite spices? This was fast, easy and tasted great. What more could you ask for? I didn't have to buy a thing - everything in the pantry already. I did grill the chicken breasts instead of baking them. It's easier, less messy and they sometimes taste better that way. Just add the spices with a little olive oil and marinate for 1/2 hour - voila! Tasty and delicious, good enough for company.flag if inappropriate

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood went there. In what might be remembered as their edgiest monologue in their seven years hosting the CMA Awards, the co-hosts took on politics, epidemics and … Taylor Swift's turn to pop music.
Congratulations to Amy Fowler. We are sending Amy and a guest to see the 2014 CMA Awards in Nashville.
Brad Paisley joined political satirist Jon Stewart for an irreverent look at the state of politics in Texas on 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart' this week, as the show is filming in Austin.
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are hosting the CMA Awards for the seventh time this year, and Paisley is hoping to spice things up in the monologue.
Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley appeared on 'The View' on ABC Monday morning (Oct. 27) to talk about the 2014 CMA Awards, but it didn't take long for focus to turn to Underwood's baby bump. The 'Something in the Water' hitmaker dished on her due date, what she fears about motherhood and -- at the end -- her upcoming greatest hits album.
The 2014 CMA Country Christmas just got a little more rockin'. Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler is set to take the stage for a very special performance with Brad Paisley.
There's nothing like a home cooked meal, right Brad Paisley?! The superstar and CMA Awards co-host Carrie Underwood reminisce over past events ... and why one CMAs ended a little prematurely.
Brad Paisley can officially add Fashion Designer to his resume. The 'Perfect Storm' singer has paired up with Boot Barn to create the Moonshine Spirit Line, which includes boots, jeans, hats and more.
With the 2014 CMA Awards just around the corner, six-time hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are feeling nostalgic.

Box Office Preview: Will 'Thor: The Dark World' Near $90 Million in Domestic Debut?
The tentpole -- returning Chris Hemsworth in the title role -- has already earned a mammoth $133.4 million overseas.
Marvel Studios and Disney's 3D tentpole Thor: The Dark World continues to gather strength as it prepares to open Thursday night at the domestic box office, where it now has a shot at eclipsing the $88.4 million opening of James Bond pic Skyfall on the same weekend a year ago.
PHOTOS: 'Thor: The Dark World' Premiere Lights Up Hollywood
Based on initial prerelease tracking, box-office observers were expecting Thor 2 -- returning Chris Hemsworth in the title role -- to gross a healthy $75 million in its domestic launch, easily exceeding the $65.7 million opening of the original Thor in May 2011.
But with the film's mammoth showing overseas -- it's earned $133.4 million in less than a week -- and the rising interest in North America, tracking now suggests Thor 2 will open notably higher. Thor 2's performance also will be boosted by a last-minute decision to carry the film in roughly 305 Imax locations in the U.S. and Canada (it wills share space with Ender's Game).
Thor 2 will be playing in 3,841 North American theaters as of 8 p.m. Thursday, including more than 3,100 3D venues. Overseas, the movie should continue to rack up substantial grosses this weekend, including in China, where it opens Friday.

The record opening for early November is currently held by 2012's Skyfall, while The Twilight Saga: New Moon is the record-holder for best November opening with $142.8 million. (The franchise installment opened Nov. 20, 2009).
Most films are staying out of Thor 2's way, although both 12 Years a Slave and About Time will make major expansions this weekend, hoping to provide counterprogramming.
Thor 2, like Iron Man 3, is expected to benefit from 2012 global blockbuster The Avengers, the crown jewel of Marvel's superhero film empire. Avengers, which features Hemsworth as Thor and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, among other Marvel characters, earned $1.5 billion worldwide to become the No. 3 film of all time behind Avatar and Titanic.
Thor 2 is sparking interest among all quadrants of the moviegoing audience. Interest is high among younger females for a superhero film, likely due to Hemsworth and Natalie Portman, who likewise returns for the follow-up alongside Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins and Idris Elba. Thor 2 is also tracking well among Hispanics.
Kenneth Branagh directed the first Thor, while the sequel is from filmmaker Alan Taylor.
Thor 2 takes place one year after the events of The Avengers, as Thor reunites with Jane Foster (Portman) and tries to save his planet from a mysterious enemy. Thor also forms an uneasy alliance with his adoptive brother, Loki (Hiddleston).
