This invention relates to the passive detection and tracking of targets which radiate acoustical energy, and more particularly to such a system which performs these functions by digital processing techniques.
The passive detection and tracking of targets such as aircraft and ground vehicles which emit acoustical energy, has a number of advantages over active sounding and radar systems. First, passive systems do not radiate a signal which can be used to indicate the presence as well as the location and identity of the tracking station. Further, active detection and tracking systems are subject to the reception of false "echoes" by virtue of multiple reflections. Also, active tracking systems are more subject to counter measures than passive systems, which can completely obviate their effectiveness.
Prior art passive acoustical detection and tracking systems are described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 3,736,553 issued May 29, 1973 to Kermode; No. 3,626,365 issued Dec. 7, 1971 to Press; No. 3,622,964 issued Nov. 23, 1971 to Leisterer; No. 3,501,740 issued May 17, 1970 to Parkin; No. 3,430,233 issued Feb. 25, 1969 to Christensson; No. 3,713,087 issued Jan. 23, 1973 to Bauer et al; No. 3,859,621 issued Jan. 7, 1975 to Foreman; No. 3,854,117 issued Dec. 10, 1974 to Fothergill; No. 3,564,493 issued Feb. 16, 1971 to Hicklin; No. 3,714,620 issued Jan. 30, 1973 to Biren et al; and No. 3,723,960 issued Mar. 27, 1973 to Harris.
A number of these prior art systems such as, for example, that described in the aforementioned patent to Foreman, employ a plurality of microphones which are arranged in an array such that the bearing of a target can be determined by a comparison between the time of arrival of the signals from that target at the various microphones. There are no means provided in such systems, however, for positively assuring that the signals being detected have in fact all emanated from the same target. Thus, if there are a plurality of targets in the same general location, all generating signals at approximately the same frequency, it is difficult with such prior art systems to discriminate one target from another. Techniques employed in the aforementioned prior art for discriminating between various targets, as for example described in the patents to Hicklin and Biren, generally involve the use of wide band filters which enable the discrimination between signals arriving from various targets by virtue of their frequency components. This approach, however, is ineffective in discriminating between targets of the same general type which radiate energy in the same frequency spectrum.
The system of the present invention provides an acoustical detection and tracking system which overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art in that it enables the positive identification and grouping of signals emanating from a common target such that errors in tracking targets can be minimized. Further, in view of the accurate grouping of all signals emanating from a particular target provided in the system of the present invention, it is possible to identify targets by virtue of a characteristic frequency pattern in their acoustical energy. The system of the invention generates information as to elevation and azimuth of the identified target to enable the tracking thereof by means of digital processing which can be performed in a special or general purpose digital computer.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a passive acoustical detection and tracking system having the capability of accurately discriminating between targets as well as determining their individual directions.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved acoustical detection and tracking system employing highly accurate digital processing in its implementation.

FIGS. 7A-7C are a series of graphical illustrations showing various digital signals generated in the system of the invention.
Briefly described, the system of the invention is as follows: Acoustical transducers such as microphones are arranged in an array so as to receive acoustical signals from targets generating acoustical energy. Pairs of the microphones are arranged in a mutually orthogonal relationship to enable the generation of information as to the azimuth and elevation of the target by virtue of the phase difference between signals received by each of the paired microphones. The outputs of the microphones are sequentially sampled and these sampled signals are time multiplexed, the time multiplexed signals then being converted from analog to digital form in analog/digital converter. The output of the analog/digital converter is fed to a fast Fourier transformer (FFT) which transforms the signals into Fourier transform coefficients broken down into real and imaginary components so that phase information on each of the frequency bins is retained. The output of the fast Fourier transformer is fed to a digital processor, which first computes the power and phase angle for each frequency bin for each microphone, and then determines from the power level of the frequency bins which of these contain signal data of interest and which do not, so that the frequency bins of interest can be separated out. Then the phase differences between frequency bins of interest from pairs of microphones are computed. These phase differences are then divided by the frequency associated with their bins, thereby determining the phase difference slope for each frequency bin. Signals having common phase difference slopes are then grouped together, these common slopes indicating signals originating at common targets. The azimuth and elevation of each target can then be computed from the phase difference slopes for the paired azimuth and elevation microphones respectively.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a functional block diagram of the system of the invention is shown. Acoustical signals are received by acoustical transducers and filters 11. The transducers may comprise an array of microphones arranged in pairs so as to be capable of providing information as to the azimuth and elevation of targets, as shown for example in FIG. 3. Band pass filtering is accomplished to eliminate noise and other signals which are not of interest. The signals are then fed to sampling and multiplexing circuits 12. The outputs of the microphones are sequentially sampled in the sampling portion of the circuit and these outputs are then time multiplexed together to form a composite signal including outputs from all microphones. The signal is then converted from analog to digital form in analog/digital converter 13. The output of analog/digital converter 13 is fed to fast Fourier transformer 15 which operates in accordance with an appropriate algorithm, such as the one cited further on in the specification. The fast Fourier transform transforms the signal into real and imaginary Fourier coefficients for each frequency bin and for each microphone. The real and imaginary Fourier coefficients are fed to digital processor 17 which operates to compute the phase differences between the signals received by pairs of microphones for each frequency bin, these phase difference signals being divided by the frequency bin of the associated bin to provide a phase difference slope for each such signal. Signals having common phase difference slopes are then grouped together, each of these groups representing signals emanating from a common target. The magnitudes of the slopes for signals obtained from a pair of "azimuth" microphones provide information as to the azimuth of the target and signals from a pair of "elevation" microphones provide information as to target elevation. The elevation microphones can be placed ahead of the azimuth microphones so that the target direction ahead or behind can be resolved by comparing one elevation microphone to the azimuth microphone data. Information as to azimuth, elevation and the frequencies of signals emanated by each target is fed to readout device 18.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the operation of the system of the invention in identifying targets is graphically illustrated. It can be shown that: ##EQU1## where: φf1 m2 =phase of f1 at microphone #2 of a pair of microphones, m1 and m2
φf1 m1 =phase of f1 at microphone #1 of the pair
φf2 m2 =phase of f2 at microphone #2
φf2 m1 =phase of f2 at microphone #1
φfn m2 =phase of fn at microphone #2
φfn m1 =phase of fn at microphone #1
f1, f2 -fn are frequencies of signals emanating from a common target.
Thus as graphically illustrated in FIG. 2, phase difference slope lines 20-22 each represent a common phase difference slope for all signals emanating from a particular target, regardless of the frequencies of such signals. Thus, slope line 20 represents signals from a first target, slope line 21 signals from a second target, and slope line 22 signals from an "nth" target. This characteristic phase difference slope condition is employed in the system of the invention for identifying and grouping signals from a common target. These signals can be grouped and their phase difference slope characteristics used to compute the azimuth and elevation of each target which information can be further used to track the target. Also, the frequency composition of the grouped signals can be used to identify the target by virtue of the known characteristic frequency compositions of signals generated by various types of targets.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a typical microphone array that can be utilized in the system of the invention is illustrated. A first pair of microphones 25 and 26 are mounted in spaced relationship along a horizontal axis to provide azimuth information, while a second pair of microphones 28 and 29 are mounted along a vertical axis substantially normal to and forward of that for the first pair, so as to provide elevation information. The microphones may be of either the condenser or piezoelectric type wherein phase delay as a function of frequency and wave front direction is essentially the same for each microphone. Microphone sensitivity, dynamic range and phase accuracy requirements may vary with the particular application requirements at hand. Spacing between the pairs of microphones is typically 15 to 36 inches.
Referring now to FIGS. 4, 6A-6F and 7A, a preferred embodiment of the transducer, filtering, multiplexing and analog to digital conversion circuitry of the system of the invention along with waveform diagrams pertinent thereto are shown. Microphones 25-29 receive signals which are amplified in amplifiers 35-38 respectively. Amplifiers 35-38 have automatic gain control circuits incorporated therein. The outputs of amplifiers 35-38 are illustrated in FIG. 6A and generally have frequency components therein from 5 Hz to 20 kHz, with the dominant portions being of the order of 30-250 hertz. The outputs of amplifiers 35-38 are fed to respective band pass filters 39-42, which operate to filter out the low frequency and high frequency components of the signals, leaving signals between 10 and 250 hertz as illustrated in FIG. 6B. Such filtering is directed principally to eliminate wind induced noise at the low frequencies and aliasing inputs at the high frequencies, and also eliminate other frequencies which are not of interest.
The outputs of filters 39-42 are fed to sample-hold circuits 44-47 respectively. The sample-hold circuits operate in response to sampling timing control 50 which may be timed by a 512 hertz clock signal. Sampling timing control 50 is also used to control the operation of multiplexer 52, which time multiplexes the outputs of the sample-hold circuits. The sample-hold circuits are simultaneously placed in a "hold" mode, while multiplexer 52 sequences through all four of the sample-hold outputs while the signals are being digitized in the analog to digital converter. When the last output has been digitized, the sample-holds are placed back in the sample mode. The outputs of the sample-hold circuits are illustrated in FIG. 6C, while the output of the multiplexer is shown in FIG. 6D.
The output of multiplexer 52 is fed to absolute value amplifier 53, which operates to effectively flip over all the negative portions of the signals to produce a unipolar output, as shown in FIG. 6E. A "sign" signal is fed to multiplexer 60 to indicate negative values when they appear. The output of amplifier 53 is fed to digital/analog multiplier 54. Multiplier 54 receives a weighting function from ROM 56, this ROM operating in response to counter 57 which in turn responds to sampling timing control 50. Multiplier 54 provides Hamming function weighting to the input samples. This type of programmed weighting as is well known in the art builds up the amplitude of the signals near the midpoint of the timing interval which facilitates discrimination of the signals. This can be seen in FIG. 6F which shows the output of multiplier 54. The output of multiplier 54 is fed to analog/digital converter 58 which converts the signals to binary digital form as shown in FIG. 7A. The output of analog/digital converter 58 is fed to multiplexer 60 where the signals are time multiplexed ordered for storage in RAMs 73 and 74 in a manner suitable for processing in accordance with the FFT algorithm.
Referring now to FIG. 5, a fast Fourier transformer unit which may be used in the system of the invention is schematically illustrated. Outputs are alternately fed from multiplexer 60 (FIG. 4) to RAM 73 and RAM 74 of the transformer unit. RAMs 73 and 74 are used to hold all intermediate real values computed in each pass of the FFT process. Associated with these RAMs are RAMs 70 and 71 which are used to hold the computed imaginary values. During the "dumping" time, these last mentioned RAMs are loaded with all zeros. The outputs of RAMs 70, 71, or 73 and 74 are alternately fed to multiplexer 80. Also fed to multiplexer 80 is the output of ROM 82 which contains sine/cosine values for one quadrant. The multiplexed signals are fed from multiplexer 80 to real arithmetic unit 84 and imaginary arithmetic unit 85. Each arithmetic unit contains temporary storage registers, complementers, an adder and shift registers. By the use of proper control and timing signals, these arithmetic units perform all of the complex multiplications and additions required in the FFT operation. The control and timing instructions are supplied by high speed ROM 87 containing the "micro instructions" for the FFT operation. The operation of the FFT microprogram is such that while each arithmetic unit is processing data from one of the microphone channels, the computed data from the previous calculation is being stored back in memory and new data for the next calculation is being fetched from memory. Thus, the arithmetic units always proceed immediately from one calculation to the next and never have to wait for data from memory. The FFT address logic 90 operates in response to microprogram 87 to control the addressing of RAMs 79, 71, 73 and 74, and ROM 82. Associated with microprogram ROM 87 is address counter 91. The address counter 91 normally sequences the ROM to the next higher micro instruction with each clock pulse. However, certain of the ROM output bits are fed back to the address counter allowing the microprogram to conditionally jump anywhere in the micro instruction sequence. The fast Fourier transform unit operates in accordance with a conventional FFT algorithm which is contained in the programs of ROM 87 and ROM 82. A typical such algorithm which may be employed is described, for example, in Digital Processing of Signals by B. Gold and C. M. Rader, published by McGraw Hill, 1969. It is to be noted that the circuitry of FIG. 5 is only one of many implementations which may be utilized for computing the Fourier coefficients, and other circuits and techniques including the use of a general purpose computer, such as an IBM-370, may be employed if so desired. Typical final real and imaginary Fourier coefficient values residing in "real" random access memories 73, 74 and "imaginary" random access memories 70 and 71 are respectively shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C. As can be seen, these values are stored in binary digital form and represent the real and imaginary components of the microphone outputs for each microphone and for each frequency bin.
The Fourier coefficients are fed to a digital processor which may comprise a general purpose computer such as the IBM Model 370 wherein the signals are digitally processed. The following functions are sequentially performed in the computer:
1. Compute power of each frequency bin for each microphone.
2. Compute phase angle for each frequency bin for each microphone.
3. Determine which frequency bins may contain signal data of interest using the power level thereof as a criterion. Further, select which frequency bins will be processed by evaluating the power of the preselected frequency bins to the two adjacent bins on each side as well as comparing the bin power in one microphone to all microphones.
4. Compute phase difference between signals received by each microphone pair for selected frequency bins.
5. Compute phase difference slope for each frequency bin phase difference signal computed in (4).
6. Group phase difference slopes of similar values together.
7. Compute average phase slope.
8. Compute cone angle to target.
9. Calculate bearing and elevation to target.
10. Provide outputs for azimuth, elevation and frequency lines for each target.
The algorithm set forth below provides the programming information for implementing the above indicated functions, and, as noted, may be used in programming a general purpose digital computer to derive the desired outputs.
The system of this invention thus provides means for accurately detecting, tracking and identifying targets by virtue of the acoustical energy radiated by such targets, this end result being achieved by digital processing.

Perfect for organizing your work
By Artmarble21
from Seattle Wa
I give these to my new managers as a welcome gift. They love the texture of the paper and soon if they are performing well I will give them one of your fabulous pens to go with it.Thank you Levenger for making such high end affordable products.
Really like this notebook
By lisam13
from Hanover Park, IL
Lightweight and portable with lots of room. Will upgrade the cover however to something else.
Functional, but not what I thought.
By Girl
from California
I really like Levenger products and I thought this would be a step forward in my daily office organization, but it isn't exactly what I needed. The ability to label pages and quickly flip to what I need is key to my success, but I realized that this just doesn't have enough tabs for all the areas I would need. Maybe if it had come with each tier also layered vertically?Helpfully though there are plenty of online templates you can print out onto high quality paper yourself, so that's the route I ended up taking. :)
Love This!

Use this to keep track of each client in one section of my circa, and for task lists in another section - emails/calls, computer, research....my new go to Levenger product!
Love This Notebook and Paper
By SEPs
I am a big fan of the Circa system and the Next Level Notebook is the best yet. I use the sections to organize my clients into categories. The paper is a great weight and makes writing smooth.
By NancyE
Love this little book! I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these. Being able to add and remove pages and items like tabs is brilliant! Now my personal life is organized. I went back and ordered pieces for a letter size book too--haven't received it yet but already know it will enable me to keep meeting notes tidy and in one place but with me when I need them--not in a file folder somewhere. Only (minor) complaint is the subdued colors, but then again, they are soothing and gender non-specific.
Helps me think better!
By holdfast
from La Honda, CA
The Circa Next Level Notebook (Junior size) has solved problems I didn't even knew I had! The dividers, cascading pages, plus the ability to add pages and even punch my own inspiration pages, really help keep my mind uncluttered. Thank you, Levenger.
Great Grad Gift

This is going to make a great graduation gift. It will allow my niece to have unlimited ways to organize class notes Imagination is the key!

This Diablo 3 streamer was banned from Twitch for getting up and walking away from his wheelchair.
The proverbial crap has hit the fan today as a Diablo 3 streamer was caught faking paralysis by standing up and walking away from his wheelchair. It appears that the streamer — who goes by the name ZilianOP — has been pretending to be confined to a wheelchair in order to procure donations from generous and sympathetic viewers.
Sometime last night, ZilianOP stunned his followers by moving into the stream view using his wheelchair and then later standing up abruptly and walking away.
Since then, his channel has been removed from Twitch — but not before a youtuber named xKRYLOCKx managed to grab the video above. Threads about the incident have been started on both Battle.net and the D3 subreddit.
A special site — Diablowned.com — has even been put up in order to inform viewers as to what has been going on.
Now, according to chat logs also hosted on the site, Zilian claims that he did not actually walk away but instead pushed up off his chair and fell in the process. However the video has some contradictory footage. At about 30 seconds in, you'll see ZilianOP get up and move to the right, at which point a girl who has been talking to him says "Oh my god…" before redirecting with a story about taking her dog to the fish shop. (You also won't hear any actual falling sounds.)
Viewers have been pointing out that if you watch the fish tank you will see Zilian continuing to move around in the background. What I find more interesting is that if he had actually fallen, shouldn't have the girl's "Oh my god" been followed with "Are you okay?" or something similar instead of a bizarre ongoing story about a dog at a fish shop?
At present, while some viewers are defending the streamer many others are looking to sue him in order to get back the money they had donated.
This kind of thing honestly makes me a bit sad, as it may hurt other streamers as well. Recently I watched a YouTube video about a handicapped streamer who needed to raise money for a wheelchair. Somehow, the popular streamer Athene found out and flooded her chat with viewers who donated enough for her to purchase the chair within 30 minutes.
It was amazing to watch and a great display of generosity from the gaming community. My hope is that incidents like this don't end up making those who would otherwise not be more jaded about these things.
Thanks to Chaos_Infintium for the tip.

Forgiveness was the topic of Chris Brown's latest radio interview with "On Air With Ryan Seacrest," where the singer owned up to his poor judgment four years ago, saying he was "hotheaded" and "arrogant."
But now it seems like the 23-year old has put a lid on his temper, (minus his "hotheaded" moment regarding a valet outside of a charity event earlier this week…total misunderstanding.) He said he didn't know if Rihanna would ever forgive him after the incident, but he has been making a conscious effort to mend the fences ever since.
"I just tried my best to be the best man I could be over the years and just show her how remorseful and sorry I was for the incident and that time was probably the worst part of my life and being that she has and she's a wonderful person I'm eternally grateful and thankful," he said.
But RiRi's forgiveness wasn't the only one he was trying to gain back. After getting such a bad rep after the altercation, trying to win some of his fans back seems to be easier said than done. Chris said that he's realized that people are entitled to their opinions about him.
"I can't go around blaming. It's all about my responsibility and me growing up as a man. So I think now that I'm becoming older, and trying to mature in this life under the public eye at all times; I have to focus on doing the right thing and being more of a humble individual," he said.
He continued, "Being at that young age, I can tell you I was arrogant and definitely hotheaded. Everybody has a temper, but for me it was not knowing how to control it when I thought I had the world in my hands," he told Ryan.
While he's still trying to work on rebuilding his image, one of the biggest lessons Chris said he's learned from the incident is that you could easily lose it all.
"And I'm not just saying fame or stardom because that's not what it's about. I'm talking about dignity [and] integrity. You know, you lose yourself in a way. So that process of me having to deal with any trials and tribulations I went through at that time, it was a learning step for me," he said. "Everything was learning, and I learned from certain mistakes, and I'm getting better as the days come."
As for the couple's current relationship status, Chris spoke candidly saying, "It's still like we're kids. I try not to be too grown and be like, 'Lets have candlelight dinner every night.' I try to make sure everything is fun. It has to be fun and it has to be genuine."
Check out the entire interview below, and be on the lookout for Chris' new single "Fine China," which is dropping April 1.

Trades Say Johnson's Likely Banking Chairman Successors Are Credit Union Friendly
Trade association representatives on Capitol Hill say senior leadership on the Senate Banking Committee, poised to replace Chairman Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) who recently announced he will retire at the end of the current congressional session, is credit union friendly.
Should Democrats retain Senate majority following the 2014 mid-term elections, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) would be next in line to chair the committee. Last congress, Reed was an original co-sponsor of S. 2231, the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act, which would have raised the member business lending cap to 27.5% of assets.

Hello all! I'm new here but I've been checking out this site for a while now. I've finally joined! :)
So I'm really confused about what's going on with my body and I'm going to try to make this as short and sweet as possible. Any input, advice, concerns, questions, etc. are welcome.
My cycles are usually anywhere from 49-51 days. Irregular but regular for me. Today is the 63rd day!!!! So I am 10 days overdue for AF to show her face. My DH and I BD on February 5th, which according to my calculations is when I O'D. At about 12 DPO I started feeling symptoms: headaches, back aches, fuller and tender breasts, low-grade waves of nausea, tight pulling sensation in abdomen, cramps but not like those of AF, little flutters of cramps and pains in lower abdomen by ovaries, sore hips, more burpy and gassy, lots of CM and recently more EWCM. My CP is very high and it was hard but now it's getting softer and again the CM is either watery or creamy/lotiony when it's not EWCM. I don't chart my BBT so I don't know what that looks like. I've taken like 7 HPTs all negative and on Monday I went in for a blood test. I just got the results of that and it's negative. But I'm wondering if that's correct. I know that blood tests are very reliable but now I'm 10 days late for AF, still have all of my symptoms and this morning I couldn't button 3 different pair of pants because I was so bloated. I haven't been gaining weight, I've actually maintained from last month so why can't I get my pants on?! This is so frustrating! My DH keeps saying we can try again next month but I want to know what's going on with my body THIS month!
So again, any input or advice or similar stories.....whatever you have for me would be much appreciated. I feel like I'm going crazy! lol

Respond to Review of 222 Veggie Vegan

Review: I had the pancake stuffed with broccoli and tofu ricotta which was apparently not their most popular dish-----I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. it was amazing and flavorful. the salads had microgreens !!! what a treat. the shade veggies were very well marinated and i was very impressed that the chocolate cake had a good mousee layering to help with the often "dry" cake effect that plagues vegan cakes. i left full, satiated and very very happy. best vegan fare in london so far. i would go back tomorrow and try the top selling dishes ---especially if the one i chose was so good i can't imagine that the others would disappoint. it's a shame i am leaving!

Female Armor 07 by AzmalWatch
©2007-2016 Azmal
Some female armor I made. Arizona Ren Fest 07
Yep, always told Crystal she looks good in armour
So beautiful!
i think i may have been in your shoppe at the ren fest. i think it was 2008. amazing work!
love your work. im a fan of armor and such.. lol
Arizona huh? The one at Apache Junction? Did you vend there?
Because 07 there was the only Ren Fair I've ever been too, and I seem to remember a leather fantasy armor shop. Just wondering if it was you.

Hidden by Owner
That's inappropriate.
well I'm sorry, no offence to that person in particular, but I couldn't hold my opinion back this time.
Wow! Thats beautiful! Are you at the Festival every year?
No, but perhaps in the future I will be. Probably not this year unfortunately.
I can't understand it. Why girls are weraing armors, when armors don't protect them? It's really pathetic and awfull.
I suspect they aren't too concerned about vikings coming to stab them. Maybe your world is different. But if you want to commission full body protective armor then that is of course fine with me : )
this is pretty awesome
superb...like a rest of the gallery
Wow... that's fantastic! This must be the same faire my nephew does soon. He is a merchant, he and his wife. Ren faires are about all they do.
how do you get it to fit so well? i mean do you requesst a bra size? people vary so much it must be hard to get everything to fit together and fit the people so well?
wowww that's so cool...congratulations for all your works..it's amazing..!
Very nice
I attend that Ren Fair every year, it's a shame I didn't see her this year
I attend that Ren Fair every year, it's a shame I didn't see her this year
That is HAWT. Not that I have the money, but for future reference, do you take commissions? If yes, what's your price range for female stuff?
Just depends what all you're wanting. I start basic corset tops at about $250 and go from there
wow thats beautiful!
alright, it looks good. but it's not such a great choice as armor, you know? leaving your enemy ready access to your intestines strikes me as......perhaps unwise.
Lucky for her there aren't so many evil swordsmen at the ren fairs.... and if there were, hmmmm ok I see your point
Interesting work you do,for sure.I'm surprised you don't have more iron doo-dahs riveted on or dangling,or used as clasps,since, judging by your dagger,you have a metalsmith friend.But i'm a one-track mind,obsessed with iron.Anyway,looks like exellent quality work,good luck.Jake.
Hehe... Nah but I'm saving up for a metal shop as we speak. It'll be a while though, I don't think I charge enough haha
If you don't think you're charging enough now,beware the forge!Ancient proverb:All blacksmiths are going to hell for two things-beating cold metal and charging too little."Yuppies are just not that interested in classy shit,gotta work for love.Also,the neat thing about iron is that you don't really need that much junk.Semi-nomadic vikings were cranking out spectacular work,both aestheticaly and metallurgically with not much more than two rocks and a set of goatskin bellows.Hey,i bet you can make a kickass bellows with your leather-working skill!Best wishes,Jake.
Would you ever make corsets for women?
Working on a full armored corset at the moment actually. I could also make the more conventional corset too if that's what you're asking. Send me a note if you'd like.
very cool
You should look into it. Start out by setting prices for basic things like flasks or bags, and then once you get a loyal base of customers, you would get more commsion work. Also, are there any renfairs or big geeky cons (like gen con) by you? Try renting a booth. I know lots of leathersmiths make a liveing traveling the renfair loops, as you are more likely to find peopel who will willingly buy your wears in a heart beat.
Love it! it's so hard to find good girl leather wear.
Thank you. I have a couple of really nice commissions (one for sure) in que for female armor. I can't wait to do them : )
Up herwe at the Bristol ren fair we only really have one leather armory, and all their girl stuff is very gawdy....and I really don't care much for it.
You shoudl start listing what your prices are or what they are around when you post here. You might get some comissions ^_^.
You shoudl start listing what your prices are or what they are around when you post here. You might get some comissions ^_^.
Think so? Its hard to price since I don't have set prices, just changes from person to person. We'll see though. I'd like to make leather my full time business.
Nice colors on the armor. I like the rivets.

Compensation analysts work with human resource and operations professionals to perform a series of functions that ensure the company offers competitive compensation levels to attract and retain talent. At its core, the compensation analyst administers the company's business unit-specific variable pay programs. The work is ongoing, since the compensation analyst is responsible for reviewing and updating existing pay programs and developing new pay programs. In this review process, the compensation analyst observes the pay process, takes note of any inefficiencies or areas in need of improvement, prepares improvement recommendations along with supporting evidence.Read More...
Compensation analysts work closely with human resource staff to collect job data and consistently manage the job-leveling process. The compensation analyst also prices jobs using market data and internal data to ensure consistency in the pay structure across the entire organization. To fulfill these responsibilities, compensation analysts often participate in and conduct wage surveys.
Compensation analysts must have a high degree of attention to detail. They must be punctual, reliable, and able to effectively communicate with people at all levels of the organization. Compensation analysts must also be effective decision makers who can properly collect, analyze, and report data. Due to the technical nature of the position, a bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required for the position.
Compensation Analysts report using a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Project Management, Benefits & Compensation, Data Analysis, and Human Resources Information System (HRIS) are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Human Resources, Microsoft Access, and PeopleSoft. Those proficient in Data Analysis are, more often than not, also skilled in Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $57K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $65K. Compensation Analysts with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $71K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $74K.
San Francisco is home to an above-average pay rate for Compensation Analysts, 15 percent higher than the national average. Compensation Analysts can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+14 percent), Boston (+11 percent), San Diego (+10 percent), and Washington (+8 percent). Compensation Analysts in San Antonio report much lower salaries than the rest of the country — 31 percent below the national average — proving that residence is a major factor in overall pay. Cincinnati and Los Angeles are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 13 percent lower and 3 percent lower, respectively.

Easy instruction for placing my order. When they came in my husband took about 20 minutes to put them up (he's a contractor so has all the tools & skills). I'm really pleased with the look in my new roomView this product

Alki Café: Overlooks the Statue of Liberty
On the corner overlooking the Statue of Liberty that is the Alki Beach miniature tribute to this landmark, this restaurant features views looking out over the bay, and some very limited extent the Olympic Mountains. There is a bit of traffic on the street, but it generally isn't enough to obstruct the view. The enclosed, but patio-like seating on the western edge of the restaurant is an interesting touch, but is pretty tight.
I found the service to be better than average at making sure that everyone was satisfied, despite being reasonably crowded at lunch time.
Favorite Dish: I had the Shrimp Quesadilla, knowing full well that what I was going to get wouldn't be quite Mexican style food. However, for $8.99 the taste was good and the proportion reasonable.

Spud's Fish and Chips: A Great View from 2nd Floor
By far the two most unique things about this restaurant are the 2nd floor level that give a much better view of Puget Sound than many of the other restaurants along Alki Beach, and the wonderful historic photographs giving a brief photographic look into the past of the area - including what this restaurant looked like in 1935!
Food is pretty much a typical fast food restaurant other than that.
Favorite Dish: Fish and Chips of Course. What else?

Alki Homestead Restaurant: Alki Homestead Restaurant is Closed!
The building in which the Alki Homestead Restaurant operated is the oldest surviving structure on the Alki Peninsula.
However, as of October 2009, this restaurant is closed.
We can hope that at some point another restaurant comes to fill this historic property.

From Volunteer to New Career
Kelly Crawford, a 22-year-old college student, signed on as a volunteer for candidate Bill Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. She criss-crossed the country several times during the campaign. One year later, she was a member of the White House staff.
E. P. Jones was a bookkeeper with a story to tell. It took her two years to write the tale of what it was like to grow up in the foster care system of New York from the age of six. Three years after her book, Where is Home? was published, she is a national consultant and trainer to foster care and child welfare agencies.1
Shelley Reecher was attacked by four men while running in the park. She got and trained a dog for personal protection, and now operates Project Safe Run, which lends trained dogs for women to run or walk with.
All of these women started out by volunteering time and energy to causes they passionately believed in. Now they all get paid to do the work they love.
Perhaps you too are at a point in your life where you want to serve your community, or change the world. Are your volunteer hours so
