It's EASY to celebrate Teeny.
She's a party on legs!
We celebrated her mid twenties with Indian food, confetti and cake.
It's lucky for us she chose Yonder.
Because we come as the side dish.
We scored.
Happy 24 Teeny!
I'm so glad she was born.

Happy Ground Dog Day
Sunday, January 31, 2016
...and the rest of January went something like this:
Frequent Nerf Wars and not-so-safe Safe Zones.
Our inaugural dinner invitation to Yonder and Teeny's new home
complete with games that made us laugh.
A speaking assignment at Stake Conference
and enjoying friends who live on the other side of the state
Morning Boy learned how to iron.
He liked it so much he asked to do it again the next day.
Weekend family gatherings and testing the limits of Hagrid, the couch that Yonder and Teeny built. (Every time I say that, the question "Who builds a couch?" reverberates in my mind)
Superfans in Boston, tickets courtesy of Dub's boss.
Making the Celtics' JUMBOTRON was the highlight of somebody's night.
Probably TWO somebodies.
And for posterity, these three make me happy.
It's what's left of the ducklings and I'm so happy we have some more time together in the nest.
Believe it or not, the two in the back are looking at the scriptures on their devices.
The fact that we've committed to read the Book of Mormon each night together (Thanks, Instagram @BofM365) and finish it by the end of the year - AND - we're actually doing it EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. is making me want to stand up and do the happy dance.
See Ya January.

sighing and dropping the ball
At the Boston airport there's a really great Rube Goldberg-type ball exhibit encased in terminal E arrivals that keeps passengers and their waiting parties entertained for hours. Balls drop at timed intervals from a spot at the top of the sculpture, and make their way down ramps and around curved metal tracks, setting off bells and chimes and other amusing reactions. Then they're loaded onto a lift attached to a pulley that carries them back to the top, where it starts all over again.
Besides being highly entertaining, I'm sure that I never had any deeper thoughts about Rube Goldberg contraptions before today.
I wouldn't call it contention, exactly, just some tense moments that are natural consequences of being part of a family; group living that, when examined closely, is not unlike a reality TV experiment without the cameras and crew. And thank goodness for that.
I stopped to consider that we all handle stress/frustration/unforeseen obstacles in different ways.
I'm a sigh-er.
I release the air in my chest with an audible "whoosh" in an attempt, I suppose, to release the pressure; like popping the top on a can of soda.
I didn't even hear myself do it tonight--but once Dub pointed it out, I owned it right and true.
The blatant observation didn't sting like I thought it might, but became a reason to gain perspective on how my sighing affects people within my circles of influence.
There are worse things than an audible release of breath--but considering how my reaction to stressors affects others seems like the right thing to do when you're not Henry Thoreau (or a hermit). It's like putting on the magic glasses that allow you to see the giant invisible Rube-Goldberg mechanism of life: the drop of one ball setting off chain reactions that become no longer controllable by the one who first chose to drop the ball.
If I choose not to sigh, I am choosing not to drop the ball.
Admittedly, though, it's fascinating to watch how one little ball can set off so many reactions. I just never considered the human element connected to setting off my big life mechanism, or that I might be the one responsible for starting and/or stopping the show.
I don't think I'm going to decide to stop sighing tonight. I think I will, however, try to think about making sure that I am in control of choosing when and when not to release the pressure.
Research on pressure cookers might be next.

Saturday, January 9, 2016
Yonder and Teeny are in the garage building a couch frame from some DIY plans they found online. I love that they're here! I love that they chose Massachusetts as their first post-graduate adventure. I love that they're working together to create a place to rest. They've signed a lease on a place to live on the North Shore, and I predict they will have many visitors in their new home. Living 15 minutes from Boston guarantees a stream of family and friends who will want a place to rest when they choose New England as a destination. Big things are happening for these fledglings who are building the foundation of their story along with that couch frame.
It's good to imagine "big" things happening in 2016--I'm glad that we have so many moments we think of as "big..."
Really they're just a collection of small things that happen regardless of how we choose to categorize them. The best part of life is made up of the small things, I think, and building the small things up to be big: that's a win in the big picture.
coming inside to assemble the frame = win
s'mores by the fire = bonus win
coming inside to assemble the frame = win
s'mores by the fire = bonus win
We're tripping along more than a week past the new year, and I'm still collecting Christmas decorations from dusty surfaces around the house. Cleaning up Christmas feels like the next big thing; besides what's for dinner and whether I'll get in a shower today. I say in my head that if I get a shower at least four times a week,
the tree put out before my mom's birthday (January 8th)
and the outside wreaths taken down before Valentine's Day,
I'm on schedule.
Good so far.
Here's to building up to BIG things in 2016.

Pics. White Men Sucking Black Cock
Hi, im a bi male, love women and some cock too. I have a friend who is Bi also with a beautiful cock which is great for sucking, Most women are amazed at his cock as most men are. We are looking to play with women a and couples and select men.We are also into sensual massage.
Bi-curious closeted crossdresser into sucking cock, preferably BBC or Asian cock. Haven't experience it yet, but hopefully someday
I want to find a couple who likes to play strip poker. This can lead to wonderful was to loose a round of poker. I love sucking cock and eating pussy. I have sucked black cocks ( two times-2 different cocks- via this website) but never licked a black pussy. I want to get better, I want to practice whenever the opportunity is available. Some members have sent me a letter, I try to answer all relevant mail asap. I am very up front. I don't say one thing and mean another. I love sex, but don't have to be in love to have sex. I work out regularly, I enjoy music, except rap. I am very oral on men and women. I like to suck as much as be sucked. I have met some and had fun. I have met others where we all parted ways. I have met some guys, who said they were bi, but they just want a blow job and absolutely nothing else. I am not interested in that kind of meeting. I have been to bi-m parties and swinger m and f parties, not frequently but I am not a virgin at such happenings.
I'm a single 58 year old bi-sexual man who looks 30 and in good shape. 7.5 inches uncut and very horny and stays very hard for a long time. Would love to service another man and woman.
s to suck cock and eat pussy.
s to deep throat a cock, and loves to swallow whole load.
s cock as much as loves pussy. Seems to want to go a long time in sucking a cock and gets in a trance because the cock is so good Treats cock like its a piece of candy. Very horny all the time. Need it real bad.
33yo bi-curious male. I am excited to be a member of this site. After reading some forums and profiles I realized that the people here use the site to express their sexual interests that are normally taboo. So, I guess my purpose here is taboo too, but thats cool here. Was took back when I realised that people were posting xxx pictures for the world to see. I have to say that when i pulled my cock out to take the first xxx pic I was so turned on by it. Have enjoyed the comments from other users regarding my pics. I am here because I have a cock curiosity. My girlfriend would not be cool with it, so I am out looking for a fun couple (sometimes just an endowed man) that would like to invite one more to experience some sexual fantacies. Specifically I would like to give a double blowjob with a woman. She put the cock in my mouth and I put it in hers until he cums. If anyone is interested or just wants to talk about it please feel free to contact me anytime. I enjoy the pics and stories that other members have to share. Bisexual MMF videos and pictures are really hot too. Might want to make some of my own or someone elses. I am DD free and prefer to keep it that way. Have has a couple of experiences with TS (with protection), but would prefer a friendship. Also, it would be cool to have a bisex penpal.
I am a white
6' 190 br/gr good looking 59 look 46. Divorced,and looking to try new things with couples,singles,as long as we are all comfortable and the chemistry clicks. I have face pics here...ask for pin#.
54yo bisexual male.
licking pussy and sucking cock. Would love to combine the two by cleaning up a fresh creampie....although I'll never turn down a pussy or a cock.
I am a fun loving horny male.The pics on my profile are from about 10 years ago.While I still have a very hot little cock.and tight firm butt,my abs aren't what they used to be...getting older sucks.
bisexual and horny really love sucking cock
38yo bisexual male. Well I'm open to a lot and interested in a lot. I would love to experience more of my submissive side, find an attractive and well hung man to make me his cum slut to fuck me, just make sure he's happy and taken care off. Another is a few woman with strap-ons. I also like black men and woman and would love to even try a gang bang. I would really enjoy being with a bi couple and enjoy sucking a cock off together with a woman, eating her out while she's getting fucked, and DP her. And of course good fun kinky sexy with a woman, from eating her out to fucking her in the ass and everything in between. Not really into Piss, Scat, extreme pain or torture, and of course NO KIDS!
Im 6ft, 200, brown hair, hazel eyes, 6 inch hard cock!
to completely satisfy a woman (love to eat pussy). Looking for fuck buddie(s) MMF/MFF, cyber/phone sex! Not looking for relationship, just discrete sex. Im considered attractive by women. Because I want to be discrete, I can only send pic upon request.... MEN: If you really like sucking and fucking hard cock and need to suck and fuck hard cock, fell freee to contact me! I love to be serviced by others
I am a versatile bisexual man that likes cock a lot. I am looking for other like minded people, who are open to a physical/sexual relationships. I have been told by other sexual partners that I am very good at kissing, licking pussy and sucking cock. I like to take in everything from their feel against my body to their scent and taste. I am versatile and do not have any std's. I am discrete and expect the same from those I get involved with.
married 60 year old man curious to try sucking cock maybe trying anal with right person
Black man who loves hot funn. I am extremely oral,I like one on one - it is all good. There are so many gorgeous and sexy and horny people here and it's a shame we can't meet everyone we like but at least this site gives us the chance to express ourselves in a way that we can't do in everyday life. For me that's great because I also like to hear what you would do with me in the bedroom. If you receive pics of me unexpectedly it's because you make me horny and I want to have sex with you
I love giving sexual pleasure especially orally.
sucking a sexy cock to completion; having cock spasm and convulse in my mouth as it unloads its seed! I equally love to kiss, suck, lick and tongue pussy to several, hopefully WET, orgasms before anything else. Especially love the mature women. I feel that by giving I am "getting" from the exchange!! Don't get me wrong, I love having my cock toyed with, kissed, sucked and love penetration a nice wet juicy pussy as well. The mind is the most powerful aphrodisiac I believe.
She's BBW, cute, looks much younger than her age. Very, very hot and multi-ogasmic. He's bi, passionate and bottoms. Both attractive. She's a little chubby and very juicy. He's in shape and interesting...We're looking for classy, mellow bisexual guys who are 8++++++. We can't overemphasize this. Size does matter! Good conversation is sexy as are cleanliness and gentlemanly ways. We prefer educated Latin and Black men but are open to encounters with cool White guys who understand and appreciate diversity. Sorry, we're not into cowboys, thugs, dominants of any race. We enjoy gang bang porno in which the woman is being pleasured out of her mind! She likes porn with guys sucking and fu__king each other. He likes her liking this but he enjoys porn with two or more guys doing a willing woman--with no abuse or excessive domination. Same goes for us. We are not interested in abuse or domination. Preferable that you meet him first in a nice bar or nice restaurant setting to test the chemistry. He's interested in meeting you for action not just words. He knows what he likes and what she wants!
hot dome wife humiliates queer sissy cuck husband,i love to watch him suck,i rarely participate,i love watching,looking for southern black bull or sexy white boy to dominate this sissy for me.
I've been sucking cock for just over 2 yrs ever since I met my current gf. When we met somehow we got on the conversation of bi men and she told me they really turn her on. That allowed me to share a sevret i've had for a very long time, that i wanted cock, and more importantly I wanted a big black cock. As it turned out my first cock was a delicious huge thick uncut black cock, and i fell in love...ever since we have met many guys white and black, Most of them have been great. As it happened our closest friends are these two black guys that we love to fuck. Not only are they hot, and hung, but the greatest people and real. I as many other white sub bitches i'm addicted to hung black men.
Hi smooth bi male very oral will do anal with right man I am looking for good looking man attached to a black cock that i can savor and suck for hours before swallowng him. Also love anal looking for ages 18-40 height weight proportioned clean d/d free and honest. Couple with Black man a plus. If not a problem I would like pics taken of me sucking you and your cock in my ass your face need not be in the pictures and you will be garaunteed privacy. My wife is away and would love to see the pics of me with my first black man Hope to here from someone soon
I am just a newbie at this but, I have sucked a black cock and a white cock already (the only 2) and I was fucked by the white guy (only time). I do date a lot of black women but I think the male experiences had everything to do with timing, personalities being compatible and chemistry. That being said, I feel that, maybe there is a certain amount of Taboo but, if both of you like each other and are willing, race doesn't matter. So, enjoy yourselves. Naoll, if it means anything, the white cock was a little bigger, both were nice though. lol
arent there any big black guys out there anymore that love tearing up a white boys tight little ass? if i were a big black guy i would fuck every white boy b
ing for my cock that i could find. sooo hot, watching a big black cock sink all the way in a white boys ass and watching his little dick flop around while i pound him silly.
the first time at a young age I liked sucking a black cock but he liked sucking my white dick so there both gooooood
I enjoy sucking cock, white or black. Nothing better than one in my mouth and one in my ass.

ing for more I want to worship black monster cocks I crave for big black monster cock sliding in my mouth and then my sissy pussy I need to be destroyed by big black monster cock
i would love to here from any black couples or single blacks. i have never been with a black couple or a black man or lady but being a single white guy the thought really turns me on. i have seen so many black men in the showere and think omg that is a body from heaven i am a man virgin at the moment never been with a man in my life but would like to try it. but i would definetly need a womens touch to help make me calm my nerves and put me at ease. i love black women so much that dark glistening skin i love big dark areolas and big nipples so much. and big hanging breasts and i would be in heaven would love a black woman to give my big white cock an a experience i would never forget. but personally the ultimate turn on for me me would be to be in bed with a black couple that would turn me on so much.
I used to have a black lover (i'm white) who's cock was about ten inches long, relatively thin, but was literally shaped like this: ? when he was hard. when he fucked me, it took awhile tor us to get it in me, but once we were situated and he was fucking me, the tip would rub against my prostate and I would cum just from him fucking me, then I would cum a huge one later from me touching or him sucking my cock.
damn, i'm getting hard, wish he was here right now!

I want to have 3 black guys with 12 inch huge cocks just grab me and force me down on my knees while they all pull out huge black cocks and start shoving them down my throat. Want them to take turns ramming their cocks deep down my throat and making me gag and choke on their cocks. Then they rip off my panties and rape my little white virgin ass. While one is pounding my ass balls deep the other two are taking turns ramming their huge black cocks all the way down my throat. I want those big black cocks to destroy my little white ass and make me their little whore. Then I want them take turns pumping my ass and mouth full of their hot sticky cum. Then make me suck all three of their massive cocks clean. After that I will nothing more than a cum dumpster for any big black cock I see.

White Guys Getting Fucked By Black Guys
I love watching videos of black guys using a white male for sex. It's such a turn-on to see them pounding a white guy, making him suck their cocks, and generally just using them as a sex toy to give them relief!

All Male Threesomes
I would love to have a guy fucking my ass (bareback of course) and another with his cock in my mouth at the same time. Someone else, perhaps my girlfriend, would be sucking on my cock. What a wonderful feeling it will be when we all orgasm. I will feel hot cum shooting deep inside my ass; I will get a delicious mouthful of cum from the cock I am sucking on; and then I will shoot my load into the mouth that is sucking on me.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing big black cock a few times in my life and would like to bottom for it again. Nothing better than being filled with big black cock and the cum that goes with it.
the taste of cum.
Cock Worship
My life has been filled with many encounters, the first time I sucked a Black mans cock I realized this is what I want to do often. Nothing excites me more then being able to lick, kiss, suck and swallow for a Black man,
to taste his balls, ass and cock, to be able to feel his cock pumping big loads of man seed into my mouth and throat makes me feel like I have given all I can to please him and then I would beg for more.

This application is a continuation in part of applicaton Ser. No. 08/990,935 filed Dec. 15, 1997 now abandoned, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. � 119 from German Patent Application 197 00 204.8.
The invention relates to a method for adjusting convergence in a projection television receiver and in particular to an automated convergence adjustment method.
In a projection television receiver, it is necessary to adjust the convergence during production or automatically in each case when switching on. This means that the three pictures projected onto the picture screen for the primary colours R, G, B must be brought to coincidence for each point of the picture.
It is known to image on the screen a grating or grid pattern comprising horizontal and vertical lines which forms a multiplicity of intersecting points. Convergence correction values are determined at each intersecting point of the grid. As a rule, there are six values for each point, specifically values for each colour, R, G and B, in the horizontal and vertical scanning directions. The correction values for each intersection point are stored in a digital memory. During reproduction, the correction values are extracted from the memory and converted into analogue correction values by digital/analogue converters, and used to correct convergence at each intersecting grid point. The correction of the convergence between the grid points in the horizontal and vertical directions is performed as a rule by low-pass filtering or by interpolation of the correction values.
It is also known to fit sensors in the form of photodiodes adjacent to the screen either inside or outside the visible picture, as depicted in FIG. 1B. A so-called marker block in the form of a monochrome image, that is to say red, green or blue picture point or marker is inserted into the video signal to be projected to form a picture on the screen. For optimal convergence, in each case for the primary colours R, G, B and in the horizontal and vertical directions, this projected marker on the picture screen must in each case impinge on an assigned sensor.
The adjustment of the marker to the sensor is achieved by influencing the deflection in the picture tubes which are subject in practice to a multiplicity of errors such as, in particular, drift, background brightness, sensitivity, changes in threshold value, de-focusing and lens errors. One difficulty and inaccuracy consists in the following:
When the projected marker is located beyond the sensor it does not illuminate the sensor which consequently does not output a marker generated signal. Hence the convergence correction circuit has no information as to whether the projected marker is located on the left or right of the sensor in the case of the horizontal convergence, or below or above the sensor in the case of the vertical convergence, nor as to the direction in which it must move to find the sensor. There is then a need for a search, which can, with a certain probability, lead in the wrong direction. In a multiplicity of cases, the marker therefore has to continue the search in the opposite direction if it does not find the sensor in the first adjusting direction. This means a loss of time, which can be perceived as disturbing during switching on, in particular in the case of automatic convergence adjustment.
It is the object of the invention to provide a method for adjusting the convergence in a projection television receiver, in which the said errors are corrected. In one embodiment of the invention, it is achieved, furthermore, that at the start of the convergence correction the marker automatically carries out a movement in the correct direction relative to the sensor and a search operation in the wrong direction is avoided.
The essence of the invention is thus that two markers are moved towards the sensor from opposite directions with a varying step size until the sensor supplies an output voltage indicating light for the two markers in conjunction with two mutually spaced manipulated variables, and in that a mean value of the two manipulated variables is used as manipulated variable for the marker.
Thus, in the case of the invention the marker approaches the sensor by using markers which approach the sensor from opposite directions. The finite dimensions of the marker and the sensor thus provide two mutually spaced manipulated variables because, for example, in the case of the horizontal convergence the marker impinging on the sensor from the left and the marker impinging on the sensor from the right necessarily impinge on the marker in conjunction with different manipulated variables in the horizontal direction. The optimum manipulated variable can thus be determined by averaging between these two manipulated variables, and can be used for the convergence.
In one embodiment of the invention, the area of the marker is large by comparison with the area of the sensor. The marker preferably has a rectangular or square area comprising a multiplicity of successive lines with the whole line duration or a part thereof. The dimension of the marker in the direction of the adjustment relative to the sensor is larger in this case than the adjustment range of the marker, both for the horizontal convergence and for the vertical convergence. The dimension, the adjustment range and the position of the marker relative to the sensor are matched to one another such that in its end setting in the adjusting direction towards the sensor, the marker does not leave the sensor, and in its end setting in the adjusting direction away from the sensor it leaves the sensor. The area of the marker is preferably equal to the area which is enclosed by grid lines of a grid pattern which is represented on the picture screen and defines convergence intersection points.
By virtue of this embodiment of the invention, it is possible, as will be explained in more detail in the description, to achieve that in each case a marker can already detect at the instant of the start of the convergence correction, without a movement and purely on the basis of its output signal, whether it is on the left of the sensor and thus must be moved to the right, or whether it is located on the right of the sensor and therefore must be moved to the left to find the sensor, in order to strike the sensor. As a result, time is saved in adjusting the convergence, for example in each case when switching on the set, and convenience for the customer is enhanced.
Another embodiment of the invention operates using the following steps:
a) the manipulated variable is changed in large steps such that the marker is moved from the first side towards the sensor until, in conjunction with a first value of the manipulated variable, the sensor supplies a signal triggered by the marker,
b) the manipulated variable is moved back by one step to the second value, situated therebefore,
c) the manipulated variable is changed again in the direction towards the sensor in smaller steps, until the sensor again supplies a signal in conjunction with a third value of the manipulated variable,
d) the steps a)-c) are carried out likewise by moving the marker from the other side towards the sensor, a fourth value thereby being produced, and
e) the mean value between the third value and the fourth value is used as manipulated variable for the convergence.
The step width of the large steps is in this case approximately 5-10 times the step width of the smaller steps. The marker can be formed by a monochrome, bright line in a background which is dark in the adjustment range. The large steps preferably have a step width such that the marker cannot jump over the entire sensor with one step. This embodiment of the invention permits the particularly accurate alignment of the marker onto the sensor, the influence of the inaccuracy parameters mentioned at the beginning on the convergence correction being eliminated to the greatest extent.
The invention is explained below with reference to an exemplary embodiment and with the aid of the drawing, in which:

FIG. 1B depicts an exemplary screen edge arrangement with multiple sensors,

FIGS. 13, 14 show the mode of operation of the said second embodiment of the invention, and
FIGS. 15, 16 show diagrams for explaining the advantages achieved by the invention.
FIG. 1A shows a projection television receiver with three monochromatic picture tubes for the primary colors R, G, B. Each picture tube projects an image of the corresponding color onto the picture screen 1, the projected images being brought to coincide yielding a color picture. A number of sensors can be located inside or outside the picture area of screen 1, as depicted in exemplary FIG. 1B, to facilitate convergence error measurement at the centre edges and corners of a projected picture. FIG. 1A shows an exemplary single photodiode sensor S. Each of the three primary colors R, G, B signals supplied to respective cathode ray tubes are controlled to permit the insertion of a measurement marker. The marker takes the form of a bright monochrome block, that is to say pure red, green or blue picture block positioned on a dark or black background. Marker M forms illumination 2 (depicted in FIG. 2), and must impinge or illuminate exemplary sensor S to achieve optimal convergence. This marker illumination is detected by sensor S which generates an output signal U1 only when impinged or illuminated by the projected marker image. The output signal has a maximum value when marker M fully illuminates the sensor S, or when the marker is located on the sensor S with its entire area or extent.
The output signal U1 from photosensor S is coupled to detector 3 which generates a binary output signal U2 where, for example, a logical 1 represents "light" or illumination of photosensor S, and a logical zero represents "no light" or no marker illumination of photosensor S. Signal U2 is coupled to microprocessor system 4 where the presence of photosensor illumination results in the generation of convergence error or correction signal which is coupled to a digital convergence system DKS 5 for storage in a memory location specific to each color and scanning direction. The digital convergence block 5 contains digital to analog converters which generate convergence signals for coupling to deflection correction coils Rc, Gc and Bc located on the necks of respective red, green and blue CRTs. An exemplary convergence signal D is produced by the convergence system and is shown coupled to an exemplary deflection coil Bc mounted on the blue CRT. Exemplary signal D provides variable movement or manipulation of the blue marker M such that the projected marker image is positioned to illuminate photosensor S and establish a convergence value for the blue marker at the location of sensor S. If signal U2 represents logical zero indicating no illumination of the photosensor, microprocessor 4 controls the marker position by means of an algorithm such that variable D causes the projected marker to search screen 1 until photosensor S is illuminated and signal U2 assumes a logical 1 state.
Microprocessor 4 is also coupled to a marker inserter 6 which sequentially controls the generation and insertion of marker M into the video signal of each color signal that is being automatically adjusted. Generation and ark insertion of a marker block is well known in the art, an example is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,218,698. However, since the marker represents a high brightness image on a dark or black back ground, the video signal of the color under automatic adjustment can be controllably switched, for example within inserter 6, to a black level signal value containing a peak level signal representing the marker block. Thus when signal U2 indicates that the projected marker image is positioned and illuminates the photosensor, microprocessor 4 controls the digital convergence circuit (DKS)5 to reposition the marker image to illuminated another sensor, for example as depicted in the measurement arrangement of FIG. 1B. In this way the projected marker image can be repositioned to each sensor to establish convergence values for the exemplary blue marker at each sensor location. Following the establishment of convergence values for the exemplary blue CRT picture, microprocessor 4 controls inserter 6 to insert the marker into each of the other color channels in sequence to establish convergence values for each color at each sensor location.
FIG. 2 shows a simplified block diagram for such a convergence correction. The projected marker M transmits a light beam 2, which strikes the sensor S in the middle in the case of an optimal convergence setting. When the image of marker M impinges, the sensor S supplies an output voltage U1 which passes onto the detector 3. The detector 3 detects whether light 2 passes from the marker M onto the sensor S, and thus essentially supplies a binary voltage with "1" ="light" and "0" = "no light". The digital signal U2 thus obtained passes on to the microprocessor or personal computer 4, which supplies a signal to the digital convergence circuit (DKS)5. The circuit 5 contains digital memories, inter alia. Stored in the memory are convergence correction values which influence the convergence correction such that the marker M impinges on exemplary sensor S for each of the three primary colors R, G, B in the horizontal and vertical scanning directions.
FIG. 3 shows the basic mode of operation of a first embodiment, in which the search for exemplary sensor S is performed by two markers M1 and M2 which are moved towards the sensor S from opposite directions, that is to say from the left and from the right. The dimension d of the markers M1 and M2 in the direction of displacement is large in this case by comparison with the dimension of the sensor S and is for example, 20 mm in practice. Marker M1 is moved towards the sensor S until its edge just touches or begins to cut sensor S, with the sensor generating an output signal U1 for coupling to the evaluation or detector 3 circuit.
This signal results as a consequence of the dashed and dotted edge depicted as c of marker M1. In this position, a first manipulated variable D1 results for the convergence correction. Likewise, marker M2 which is assigned to the right-hand side of the sensor S is moved towards the sensor S until its left-hand edge just impinges on the sensor S. A second manipulated variable D2 is obtained as a result and deviates from the first manipulated variable. The mean value D3 of the two manipulated variables D1, D2 is then used as correcting quantity for the sensor position. FIG. 3B depicts sensor signal U1 amplitude resulting from illumination by respective markers M1, M2 positioned by respective manipulated variables D1 and D2. FIG. 3B also indicates that mean value D3 corresponds a maximum sensor output. Similarly, in FIG. 4 two markers M3 and M4 are depicted above and below sensor S for adjusting the convergence in the vertical scanning direction V. The operation for determining the correcting quantity for the vertical convergence is performed in accordance with the method described for FIG. 3.
A stepwise approach and accurate alignment of the markers M3 and M4 onto sensor S is performed in the following way: it may be assumed that a marker M can be adjusted over the range X1/X2 for the direction of the convergence in the vertical direction for the red picture R. The upper line of the marker for red is adjusted to the middle position of the adjustment range by feeding the corresponding correction data to the correction channel for red. The algorithm then moves the marker M into the position in which the upper line of the marker M just touches or begins to touch sensor S. For this purpose, the sensor output is evaluated by detector 3 to whether it receives light or receives no light. If "no light" is detected, the correction data are increased by the differential value delta =(X1+X2)/4. If "tight" is detected, the data are reduced by the differential value delta =(X1+X2)/4. The differential value delta is then changed to the value delta/2. This operation is continued until the integral part of delta <0. The correcting manipulated variable is obtained in this way. The same operation is carried out to determine the upper boundary. In this case, the first step is to adjust the lowermost line of the red marker to the middle position of the adjustment range, that is to say to (X1+X2)/2. If "no light" is detected, the manipulated variable is reduced by delta. The manipulated variable D2 is finally obtained thereby. The correct position of the sensor S is then calculated as (D1+D2)/2. The same operation is carried out correspondingly for the horizontal convergence and for green and blue.
FIG. 5 shows in detail the adjustment of the left-hand marker M1 of FIG. 3 for the horizontal direction H. The marker M1 is firstly located on the left of the sensor S outside the sensor S, as indicated in the position a. The dimension d of the marker M1 in the direction of adjustment is in this case greater than the adjustment range A of the marker M1. This means that the marker M1 cannot leave the sensor S to the right, as indicated by the dashed position b. This gives rise to the following advantage: if at the start of the correction the output signal U1 of the sensor S has the value "0", that is to say "no light" is detected, the marker M1 can be located only to the left of the sensor S, because it cannot leave the sensor S in the right-hand end position, and the signal "1" would therefore be generated. If at the start of the correction the sensor S outputs the output signal "1", the sensor M1 must be located on the right of or too far to the right from the sensor S, because on the left of the sensor S it would not strike the sensor S. Thus, it is already possible to detect from the static output signal of the sensor S at the start of the convergence correction without a search whether the marker M1 is located to the left of the sensor S, therefore must be moved to the right to find the sensor, or whether it is located on the right of the sensor S and must thus be moved to the left. The adjustment is performed in each case such that the righthand limiting edge of the marker M1 just touches or starts to cut the sensor S on the left-hand side, as is represented by the dashed and dotted edge c.
FIG. 6 shows the left-hand marker M1 in the right-hand end position relative to the sensor S. As already explained, the marker M1 cannot leave the sensor S, with the result that the sensor S supplies the output signal U1 ="1"="light". From this signal, the correction circuit detects that the marker M must move to the left for the correction adjustment onto the sensor S, specifically until the edge c again just begins to cut the sensor S on the left-hand side.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the same relationships for the right-hand marker M2 for the convergence in the horizontal direction. In FIG. 7, the marker M2 is located on the right of the sensor S. This is detected by virtue of the fact that the sensor S outputs the signal "0", that is to say "no light". The circuit therefore has the information that the marker M2 must be moved to the left in order to find the sensor S, again until the left-hand edge e just touches or begins to touch the sensor S. In FIG. 8, the marker M2 is located in the initial position too far to the left of sensor S. This is detected by virtue of the fact that the sensor S now indicates the signal "1"="light" at the start of the correction. The circuit then detects that for the purpose of adjusting the correct position e the marker M2 must be moved to the right relative to the sensor S.
Two different manipulated variables are then produced from the adjustments of the left-hand marker M1 onto sensor S in accordance with FIGS. 5, 6 and the adjustments of the right-hand marker M2 onto sensor S in accordance with FIGS. 7, 8. The arithmetic mean value is formed from these two manipulated variables and used to adjust the horizontal convergence.
FIG. 9 shows the same relationships for the vertical convergence. In FIG. 9, the lower marker M3 is located below the sensor S. This is detected by virtue of the fact that the sensor S outputs the signal "0". The marker M3 must thus be moved upwards for the adjustment of the marker M3 as far as the correct position in accordance with the edge f.
In FIG. 10, the lower marker M3 is located in the initial position above or too far above the sensor S. This is detected by the output signal "1"="light". The marker M3 must then be moved downwards as far as into the desired position in accordance with the edge f.
FIG. 11 shows the marker M4 assigned to the upper edge of the sensor S in the initial position a outside the sensor S. This is detected, again, by virtue of the fact that the output signal of the sensor S has the value "0"="no light". The circuit then displaces the marker M4 downwards as far as into the desired position g.
In FIG. 12, the upper marker M4 is located too far down relative to sensor S, as detected by the output signal "1". It is therefore moved upwards by the circuit as far as into the desired position g relative to sensor S. Thus, it is already possible also to detect for markers M3 and M4, for the vertical convergence from the stationary output signal in the initial position of the correction, where marker M is located relative to sensor S, and in which directions it must be moved for the correct adjustment onto sensor S.
In summary, it therefore holds for the detection of the initial position and the marker movement, resulting therefrom, for achieving the said alignment is with the sensor for the vertical convergence that:
Lower marker M3:
Sensor signal "0"="dark": marker movement upwards
Sensor signal "1"="bright": marker movement downwards
Upper marker M4:
Sensor signal "0"="dark": marker movement downwards
Sensor signal "1"="bright": marker movement upwards.
FIGS. 13 and 14 show an exemplary embodiment for the said second embodiment. The marker M has only a small dimension in the direction of adjustment, comprising, for example, only a bright, red, green or blue line or a few bright lines of the respective primary color to be adjusted inside an area which is black at least in the adjustment range. The marker M is initially adjusted to its lowermost position of adjustment range X1 by feeding the channel for the vertical convergence the lowest manipulated variable D within the adjustment range. The manipulated variable D is then increased in accordance with FIG. 14 in large steps 6 such that the marker M moves towards the sensor S until the marker M reaches the sensor S. This is detected by the output signal U1 of the sensor going over from "0"="no light" to "1"="light". The large steps 6 are dimensioned such that the marker M cannot jump over the sensor S without illuminating the sensor S. Within the adjustment values, formed by the large steps 6, for the manipulated variable D, the last value D1 before the detection of the illumination of the sensor S inside the grid of the large steps 6 is stored.
Thereafter, the marker M is repositioned to its uppermost end position X2 by applying the highest convergence correction manipulated variable D. The manipulated variable D is then reduced in large steps 6, and the manipulated variable D2 is determined as in the case of D1. Subsequently, the manipulated variable is increased in small steps starting from D1 until in the case of the value D3 the output signal U1 becomes ="1", that is to say indicates "light". The manipulated variable D is likewise reduced in small steps starting from D2, specifically down to the value D4 at which the sensor S outputs the output signal U1 ="1".
This approach of the marker M to the sensor S from two directions thus produces two values D3 and D4 for the manipulated variable D, which are situated symmetrically relative to the optimum value which locates the marker image precisely in the middle of the sensor S. This value D5 is now determined by D5=(D3+D4)/2.
This method is also repeated for the two other primary colors and for the horizontal convergence and the vertical convergence.
FIGS. 15 and 16 illustrate once again the advantage achieved by the invention. In FIG. 15, the symmetrical evaluation of the curve in accordance with FIG. 14 in the case of the threshold value SW has the effect of achieving the adjustment of the marker, indicated by the two curves, precisely to the middle of the sensor. FIG. 16 holds for the case in which a marker is moved towards the sensor only from the left-hand side, and detects the impingement on the sensor only on this side in the case of the threshold value SW. An asymmetrical position is then reached, as the two curves in FIG. 16 show. That is to say, the marker is then not adjusted to the middle of the sensor.

Green-Roofed Dani Ridge House is Tucked into the Hillside in Big Sur
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On August 16, 2012 @ 12:10 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,Green Building,Green Roof | 1 Comment
From behind, the Dani Ridge House is almost imperceptible with its tucked in location and undulating green roof. The owners of the home wanted to make as little impact as possible on their 70-acre site outside of Big Sur, California. To achieve this, they had Carmel-based firm Carver + Schicketanz design an earth-bermed home capped with a green roof planted with native grasses. Solar passive design plays in heavily to the home's energy efficiency and all of the utilities are stored underground to minimize the viewshed.
The Dani Ridge House is a three-bedroom, 1,900-square-foot home outside of Big Sur, California on a pristine site above the Pacific Ocean. Carver + Schicketanz [2] worked with their clients to create a home that minimized its impact on the site and upheld their neighbors' views. The hillside location afforded the team the option to tuck the home back into the hillside. Then they capped it with a insulating, Hydrotech green roof with 4 inches of soil and planted it with native grasses like California oat and red fescue. Landscaping surrounding the home was also upgraded to remove invasive species and add back more native grasses.
To further minimize viewsheds, all of the utilities, including a 5,000 gallon water tank and propane tank were also buried underground. The home emerges out from under the earth and peeks out from the hillside out over the bluff. The bedrooms, great room and kitchen face out with floor to ceiling glass windows, while bathrooms and other less view-critical rooms are relegated to the back. Solar passive design using the windows, sun shading, and thermal mass ensure plenty of natural daylight, winter heating and protection from overheating in the summer. Cross ventilation through operable windows keeps the interior cool and fresh when the conditions require it. The home enjoys a close connection with its environment and a variety of outdoor living areas encourage time spent outdoors.

Just Off Britain, A World Apart
By JOHN A. KINCH
Published: April 23, 2000
THE Manx double-decker's motion lulled me into a near sleep. A half-day ramble earlier through Cregneash on the Isle of Man left me tired, and from my second-deck seat on this hurtling Peel-bound bus, I drifted in and out. Narrow hedgerow-lined roads, tidy fieldstone villages, villagers, schoolchildren, dogs, cars, farms, sheep, cows, green hills and slivers of the Irish Sea blurred until the scenery winked out all together.
This was my third day on the Isle of Man. Before arriving, I knew little about the island, intending to literally learn on my feet as I hiked around.
I was not alone in my ignorance. ''Off the coast of South America?'' one colleague asked before I left the United States. ''Is it British?'' a friend asked. ''It's Manx,'' I said. ''What's Manx?'' she asked.
I did know this about the Isle of Man: it was small (33 miles by 13 miles), it was off the northwest coast of England and it was renowned for miles of footpaths along rugged coasts and challenging hills. In June, the twisty rural roads serve as the track for one of the world's foremost motorcycle races, the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy.
Finally, I knew the island produced the domestic Manx cat, a tailless breed, and centuries back may have produced my ancestors as well. My family has long believed our surname to have a Manx origin. Thus, as I got off the Liverpool ferry at Isle of Man's capital, Douglas, on a May night, I felt oddly as if I were coming home.
''Kinch, you say?'' said the cabby, on the way to the Stakis Hotel (now the Hilton) on the seaside Victorian Central Promenade. ''That's not a Manx name. Kinch. Your Dan Quayle, his grandfather was born down in Santon. Quayle -- that's a Manx name.''
I'd recently read that other famous Manx included Miles Standish and the Bee Gees.
''I thought the Bee Gees were Australian,'' I said to the cabby.
''Manx,'' he said. ''All Manx.''
The next morning, I walked around Douglas, where half the island's population of 74,000 live. The town reminded me of Boston with its modern financial district, well-preserved historic buildings and its proximity to the sea.
I caught a narrow-gauge steam train, in operation for 120 years, to the southern coast. As the train chugged away from the platform with an ear-piercing blast, I settled in and looked at my journal where the night before I'd jotted modest plans: footpaths, four-sharp teas, castles, Celts, kippers, B & B's and birding, outdoors and inns.
The morning was a fine one, clear and cool, and the train wended its way along golden gorse-girdled hillsides into lush glens of ferns and lupines and past whistle-stops. Occasionally, I glimpsed the Irish Sea, seal-gray in the distance.
Soon the train arrived in Castletown and I hoisted my backpack and walked the few miles out to the Castletown Golf Links Hotel, a rambling compound of glass and whitewashed buildings on the Langness Peninsula where I'd reserved a stay in a surprisingly spacious room with an adjoining sitting area. From my window, I could see the golf course, one of the best on the island. Against the backdrop of the Irish Sea, it looked dramatic. But I had not come for Mulligans and gimmes, but whimbrels and greenshanks, and soon headed down a coastal path in search of birds.
Almost immediately I came across oystercatchers, one of my favorite birds, cartoonish with their carrot beaks and large heads. I also encountered choughs for the first time -- crowlike birds with red legs and fiery temperaments that have them taking on all other feathered comers.
On that splendid day with temperatures hovering around 70, I saw ruffs, godwits, cormorants, greenshanks, whimbrels, tufted ducks, gannets, gulls, swans, gray herons and little stints. Among the heather and gorse shrubs, I flushed out northern wheatears and dusky, streaked, sparrowlike birds with a musical call -- skylarks.
I was dazzled by the array of wildflowers -- pinks and whites, blues and yellows -- that carpeted the hills. The tufted pink flowers that are most prominent are sea pinks. Feverfew, bird's-foot trefoil, spring quill and heath bedstraw also lend their colors.
I could see far out into the Irish Sea, which is not always so. Dense fog is common given the dynamics of the cold sea and warmer island. The fog, a story goes, protected the Isle of Man from invasion for centuries and was conjured up by the island's mythical founder Manannan. Thus the island's name -- sometimes spelled Mann. That's the case with the Lord of Mann, who today -- gender aside -- is Queen Elizabeth.
Celts showed up on the island around 500 B.C. with the wayward Vikings appearing at the end of the eighth century A.D. The two cultures melded over the centuries with the English, Scottish and Irish skirmishing among themselves and the natives during the Middle Ages. In 1765 the British Crown bought the island in an attempt to stop a thriving international smuggling trade. Today, the Isle of Man is a thriving offshore international banking center. While the island is not part of Britain, it is a British Crown Dependency and relies on Britain to defend it and act on its behalf in international matters.

OMG! Just watched his video, and (i'm not guy or nuttin lol) but I'm in love with this guy! So many things I could springboard off of that he mentioned, it would take forever for me to type it all out. It's just how funny that North America has so many pyramids, that most people don't even know about. And then when they find another pyramid under water, or other man-made structure, they try and downplay it, or try and cast doubt that it might actually be a natural formation. It's just ludicrous the lengths these jokers go to, to hide the Truth from everybody.
I've also toyed with the idea that the pyramids in Egypt might actually align differently than what we're told, after certain transitions in our polar alignment. I only posted here my thoughts about how they correspond to our 3 main celestial bodies in the past, but yes certainly after a shift, they can indeed point to other things up there!
Now I also thought about that he might be high as a proverbial kite, maybe not. But there's great insight that can be gained to the Plants God has given us, giving us insight into connections that we normally wouldn't understand.
And this leads me to yet a further tangent about morality. Morality is but another method of control they dazzle us under. Take being a likeable person, for instance, that somebody else once said on this thread to me, that I'm not likeable. Well, everyone who knows me like my family and friends thinks I'm a very likeable sort of guy. But in the end, likeability isn't a very high chief virtue as it is anyway! If you're likeable then you have no enemies, and so are no threat to the established order. You got to have some balls to make a difference, and they certainly don't want that. So if you don't like me, I say Great!
And then take thievery as my last example. They drill into our head that it's wrong, yet what we should be doing is rising up against them, for they are the REAL thieves, taking all of our life liberty and property and converting it to suit their ends. We should steal or rather take back what is rightfully ours. Not anarchy, just flippin Justice. But we're too fluoridated and entertained by our movies and music and whatnot, or just concerned with making ends meet for any of us to do much good, or much harm to them. Bastards.
Sorry that was very far off the beaten path from the Video. I'll watch your other video next.

Missed a few throws, but only less then a handful; for him is a huge improvement from the last time he started. Peyton had more overthrows then Alex, which is something I would have never guessed to say.
Anyways, there were some pretty bad drops, but mostly Alex looks like a different QB out there then he has before. He seems a lot more composed, but our playcalling is killing our offense. Spread it out, even the f**king announcers were saying that s**t all game long.
