Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 17, 1917.
Application filed May 16, 1916. Serial No. 97,801.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, CHARLIE O. 'LoUTHAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of \Vyandotte and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Signaling Devices; and I do declare the following to' be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters and'figures .of reference marked thereon,"
which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to burglar alarms for automobiles and has-for its principal object to provide a device of this character whereby the owner of an automobile may be warned should any one, other than one authorized, tamper with, or attempt to start the machine.
Inaccomplishing this object, I have provided the details of structure hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure I is a perspective view of an automobile equipped with my invention showing the disposition of the contact members within the hood of the automobile and their connecting wires.
Fig. II is adiagrammatic view showing the contact members, the battery and sig naling device and their connecting wires.
Fig. III is a detail perspective view, illustrating the mounting of the magnetic coil within its housing, the contact post and platesfand wires connecting therewith.
Fig. IV is a pers ective view of the contact plates for closing a circuit through the alarm when released by the throttle mechanism.
Fig. V is a detail perspective view of one set of. contact plates, which are adapted for closing a circuit through the horn motor when released by. the opening of the hood doors.
Fig. VI is asectional view through the battery box, showing the means for closing a circuit through the alarm by raisingthe box end.
Fig, VII isa detail perspective view of the. lock for closing or breaking a circuit through the system.
Referring more in detail to the drawings:
1 designates the hood of an automobile of ordinary construction and having side opening hood doors, 2, adashboard,3,steering posts 4:, and a throttle adjusting arm 5, which is operable from the steering wheel position to open or close the throttle valve of the motor (not shown).
Mounted at any desirable place on the machine, preferably at the side thereof, is a housing 6 for containing a battery 7, which is connected by wires as will presently be described with the motor 8 of an electrically operated horn 9, .by which the owner of the car may be alarmed should an "unauthorized person attempt to start the machine or tamper with the mechanism; the horn preferably being concealed within a perforated housing 10, carried within .the hood on the automobile frame member 11.
Leading from the positive pole of the battery 7, through a'conduit 12, which extends from the battery housing to a housing 13 that is mounted on the dash and concealed within the hood is a circuit Wire 14,
which connects within the housing to one pole of a magnetic solenoid coil 16.
Interposed in the circuit wire 14 between its connection with the battery]? and coil 16, is a lock 17, which may be mounted at any convenient place in the dash 3, so that it is accessible from the drivers seat; the said lock being carried in an'insulated barrel 18, having yielding contact members l920 mounted therein to which the branches. of the circuit wire 14 are attached. The lock comprises a revoluble barrel 21, which carries at its inner 'enda projecting pin 22, which is adapted when the barrel is turned to a locked position to engage the contact member 19, so that the two contact members 19 ga ed, may be brought in contact and an unfiroken line formed between the battery and coil.
Mounted within the hood 1 in anv suitable position preferably on the side frame adjacent the lower end of the steerin post 4, is a block 25 which carries contact p ates 2627 that are insulated from each other and provided with binding posts 28-29 respectively, to which circuit wires 3030 are connected; the wire 30 also being connected with the negative pole of the battery and the wire 30 with a pole of the coil 16, so that with the lock closed, a circuit may be closed from the battery through wires 14-30 and 30' to energize the coil 16.
20 which are normally disen- I gig;
Connected with the throttle lever 5 and with the contact plate 26, is a cable 36 which is of sucha length and the lever 5 so positioned that when the throttle is closed the lever 5 will draw the cable taut to draw the plate 26 out of engagement with the plate 27, so that a circuit through the coil will be broken, but when the throttle is opened the cable is slackened and the members 26-27 contact each other and close the circuit through the coil.
Suspended above the coil core 38 on a spring arm 39 that is secured to the side of the housing 13, is a metallic rod 40, the end of which carries a disk 41; the rod being so placed with relation to the coil that when a circuit is passed through the coil, the latter is energized and the disk ll and rod +10 are magnetically drawn downwardly toward the core 38 sothat contact pins -l3-44 extending from the said rod are brought in contact with plate l5l6 respectively that are carried on supporting partitions 47l8 within the housing 13 and provided near their free ends with adjusting screws t5-l6 and at the fixed ends with binding posts 49-50.
Connected with the spring arm 39 by means of a binding post 51 is a circuit wire 5:! which connects also with the circuit wire 30, and connected with the plate 46 by means of the binding post 50 is a circuitwire 55 which connects at its opposite end with the wire 30'.
Leading from the poles of the horn motor 9 are wires 56-57, which connect respectively with the binding post 49 and circuit wire 1:1 so that when a circuit from the battery is closed through wire 1430 and 30', the coil 16 is energized and the rod 40 is magnetically drawn downwardly bringing the pins l3 into contact with plate 45 so that a current is closed from the positive pole of the battery through circuit wires 11-, and 57; the horn motor, wires 56, plate 45, rod all), arm 39, wire 52, and wire 30 to the negative pole of the battery so thatthe horn motor is energized and the alarm given.
By this arrangement it will be seen that the owner or driver when leaving his car, may turn the lock bolt 21 so that the pin 22 will hold the contact plates 19-20 in contact with each other and by closing the throttle the lever 5 is thrown back to tighten the cable 36 and disengage the plate 2(3 27. Should any one then attempt to start the car it is necessary that the throttle lever be turned to open the throttle. ()n doing this the cable is slackened which will permit a contact of the plates 2(S-27 and a circuit is closed through the coil as previously de-' scribed which will energize the same to draw the bar 40 downwardly to complete a circuit through the horn mechanism which will give an alarm to the owner.
) allowed to spring upwardly to contact the plate 62.
Connected with binding posts 66-67 on the plates 62-63 are circuit wires 6869 which lead respectively to wires 30 and 30. so that when the lock parts are engaged should any one raise a hood door, the plates (53 will engage the plate 62 and a circuit is closed through the coil from the positive pole of the battery through wires 1430'-69 plates 6263, wires 68 and 30 to the negative pole of the battery which will energize the coil to magnetically draw the rod 40 downwardly to again close a circuit through the horn motor to give an alarm as previously described.
I also provide a means for giving an alarm should any one attempt to remove the batteries from their housings. This means com- )rises the spring arms 75-7 6 having bind- 1ng posts 7778 to which are connected by circuit wires 7980 leading respectively to the wires 3030; the arms 7576 being held disengaged when the box lid is closed by a bolt 82 projecting from the said lid, but should the bolt be removed so that the lid be raised, the boltreleases the spring arm 76 allowing it to contact the arm 75 and a circuit is closed through the coil from the positive pole of a battery through wires 1430 80, arms 76 75, wires 79-30 to negative pole of battery. which will energize the coil to close -a circuit through the horn motor to operate the same as previously described.
\Vith the parts so arranged it will be seen that should the owner of a car equipped with my invention wish to leave the same, he may set the alarm by turning the lock barrel 21 to such a position that the pin 22 thereon will cause the contact member 19 to engage the member 20. The contact members carried on the blocks 25, 60 and 61 are nor- 12o mally held disengaged respectively by the throttle arm 5 and hood door posts (Sel 65, but should any one attempt to open the throttle or to raise a hood door, a circuit will be closed from the battery to the horn motor and the same will continue to operate to alarm the owner until he, or one with a suitable key, turns the lock bolt to release the (mntact plates 19'20 tobreak the circuiti.
It is apparent that with a device of this character a simple and compact means isprovided whereby an automobile owner is protected against theft of the car and as the parts and their connecting wires may be concealed or placed in conduits they cannot be tampered with or disconnected.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
.1. The combination with an automobile having a hood, hood doors, and a throttle mechanism, ofa signaling system comprising a battery,a signaling mechanism having electrical connection with the said battery, means connected with said throttle mechanism and means on said hood doors for closing or breakingsaid electricalconnection throu h the said system and a lock for breaking or closing a connection with said signaling mechanism.
2. The combination with an automobile having a hood, hood doors, "and a throttle mechanism, of a signaling system compris-- ing a battery, an electrically operated signaling mechanism having electrical connection with said battery, a pair of contact plates adjacent'each of said hood doors interposed in said electrical connection, a post on each of said doors for holding said plates disengaged when said doors are closed, a
having a hood, hood doors, and-a throttle v -mechanism, of .a signaling system comprising a battery, *an electrically operated signaling mechanism having electrical connection with said battery, a pair of contact plates adjacent each-of said hood doors interposed in said electrical connection, a post on each of said doors for holding said plates disengaged when said doors are closed, a pair of contact plates interposed in said electrical connection adjacent said throttle mechi' anism, means connected with said throttle mechanism for breaking or closing a circuit through the last named contact plate, and a relay operable by the battery for closing a circuit through said signaling mechanism and battery.

Andy Hackbarth
Andy Hackbarth was hailed as a classical-guitar virtuoso in his early twenties; in 2006, he left Colorado for Nashville, where he honed his songwriting skills to catch up with his playing. His last effort, 2010's The Last Love Song, made it clear that Nashville had helped him develop a knack for writing catchy, hook-driven tunes. While he hasn't totally abandoned the pop feel of that album on his new seven-song EP, Treadmill Horses, the songwriting feels more mature and introspective. It's as if he's widened his scope somewhat, reaching deeper than just writing hooks and sprinkling a bit of jazz and country into the mix. "Windmills," a tribute to Pablo Neruda's odes, is a gorgeous effort supported by dual violins, while "1939," inspired by one of America's first paratroopers, is buoyant with harmonies.

Crucial M500 480GB SSD Review
Final Thoughts
When asked at CES about the M500 price points, we were told the 960GB model would hit the $600 price point and the other capacity would scale from there. Although not specifically stated, I took that to mean $300 for the 480GB, $150 for the 240GB and around $75 for the 120GB. At the time, the prices were very good, although other SSDs were hitting those price points from time to time with sales and incentives, like rebates.
The 960GB model hit the $600 price point for a short period and then Crucial couldn't make enough of them to keep up with demand. We've seen M500 960GB drives selling for as high as $750 this week. We're fairly certain IMFT isn't getting the yields out of 20nm that they would like and that's one of the reasons why 960GB M500 drives are so few and far between. If this is true, then there is no reason for Crucial to move the 480GB down to a $300 price point. I think we'll see this drive at that very low price point before it turns end of life, but I don't see the price going down anytime soon.
At $349.99 (Newegg pricing at the time of writing), the M500 480GB is quite attractive. LSI SandForce drives have performance issues at this capacity size and other Marvell based and Link A Media controlled drives cost more.
Performance wise, the 480GB model is the lowest capacity size that delivers enthusiast level performance. The M500, if you recall, is Crucial's answer to Samsung's 840 SSD with TLC flash. The price points in the smaller capacity sizes are more 840 Pro instead of 840, though. At the higher capacity sizes, the M500 hits the spot in both performance and price. All considered, the Crucial M500 480GB is one of the best buys in this capacity size right now.

DOD Contracting:
Air Force and Navy Maintenance of Training Aircraft and Training Equipment
NSIAD-89-114: Published: Mar 20, 1989. Publicly Released: Apr 19, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO assessed the decisions of Lowry Air Force Base (AFB), Columbus AFB, and the Navy to contract for aircraft maintenance services, focusing on: (1) projected cost savings; (2) the potential impact on personnel and equipment readiness; (3) the economic impact on the affected communities; (4) the impact on wartime mobilization requirements and personnel rotation schedules; and (5) other impacts on base functions.
GAO found that: (1) Lowry AFB would realize its projected savings of $3.4 million; (2) the Navy, which consolidated several air stations' aircraft maintenance requirements under two contracts, would realize most of its projected savings of $52.6 million; (3) Columbus AFB probably would not realize its projected savings of $4.2 million due to unsatisfactory contractor performance, and could incur additional costs in excess of those initially estimated for in-house maintenance; (4) most civilians obtained other government employment, and military personnel transferred, retired, or left the service; (5) both the Navy and the Air Force reported a minimal economic impact on the affected communities; (6) both the Navy and the Air Force reported no impacts on mobilization requirements or rotation schedules; and (7) loss of some of the personnel had a slight, but insignificant, impact on other base functions, such as commissary services and recreation facilities.

This park is definitely in my top 5 all time best campgrounds. If you are looking to spend a few quiet days and evenings with a beautiful view and peaceful surroundings this is it. Campground is very clean and well maintained. It has a small sandy beach near the docks, with fire pits for your evening fire. If you are into boating the launch ramp is right at your front door. There is not too much in the area for attractions, but a quaint little outdoor patio bar and Leeleanu Wine tasting in Omena are only a mile away. - acadiandave

There's lots to do nearby and all that is easy to get to. There is a driving range and a pond. We didn't use the party room but it looked nice. If the cherry orchard has ripe cherries you can get permission to pick your own. - Jlcamper

Camped in a 35 foot 5th wheel on back-in site 62, which is sand. Easy access & required one board to level side to side. Long site with plenty of room for truck. Large concrete patio. Lots of grass between neighboring sites & backed to grass reaching to pond. No shade. There is no shower or laundry house. There is a clean laundromat three miles away in Sutton's Bay. Good WiFi & antenna TV. Exchange book collection. Very quiet at night except for low hum from pond air bubbler, which might not be heard if at another site. Location is lovely, surrounded by woods, while sites are open. Would rate this park much higher if there were showers & laundry facilities. - Scottsdale RVers

We recently bought our new-to-us 37' RV and wanted to try it out for a few nights. We live in the area and chose Wild Cherry Resort because of its lovely landscaping and peaceful atmosphere. Office staff were so pleasant, put us in a prime spot on the end of a row by the pond. Pond was clean (they have a little cleaning robot in it that keeps it from getting scummy) with cattails and wild birds. At night the frogs sang us to sleep. Park is extremely quiet, which we appreciate, and staff is working all day, every day to keep it lovely. We were in a 50 amp full hookup space, everything worked perfectly. Trash is picked up at daily at your site. Parking site was gravel with a concrete patio and picnic table. Very little leveling needed.
We brought our two dogs, one of whom is 80# and over the stated weight limit. The park is flexible on that restriction, just ask. Lots of areas to walk your dog, including orchards and woods. They just ask that you not let your dog do their business on the beautifully maintained lawns around the sites, and I can understand that.
The only reason that I give this park 9 stars instead of ten is that there are no bathrooms or laundry. For a self-contained rig, this is not a problem, but for the tent and yurt campers (they have a yurt here!) it might be less than desirable. The park has several driving range/putting greens but no playground. Kids were safely riding their bikes on the paved roads within the resort, though. Personally, we greatly enjoyed the quiet. Several wineries right next door, with quaint towns, beaches and more wineries within easy driving distance. Yes, the park is expensive, but rates are representative of the area. We would stay here again, and recommend it to others. - ZombieNurse

We stayed in this campground for 12 days before, during and after the RV-Dreams Fall Rally. The campground is located on Lake Leelanau with a number 0f sites that are big rig friendly. We had full hook-ups and the WiFi worked OK most of the time. They also have cable TV which we did not use. Our pull through site was a level concrete pad including a small picnic area with a table. The laundry facility and bathrooms/showers were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay here and would return if we are ever in this part of Michigan again. The campground is open from May 1st to Oct 31st each year. There are a number of seasonal RV's located in the campground but there are well maintained. The sites nearest the lake are reserved for short-term camping. - Co-Mike

I won't repeat all of the information in previous posts as to location, etc. We camped here with 2 of our children and their families. We found the campsites to be spacious, nice fire rings and fairly level. I did not have to level side to side. The campground does have a lot of seasonal campers, but we found them to be quiet and friendly. The campground management was friendly and helpful. We experienced a lot of children in the campground, but they were not a problem. The campground was quiet before quiet hours started. We used the laundry room a number of times and it was clean and machines worked as they should. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely camp here again. - K_and_I

Leelanau Pines Campground is located roughly 30 minutes outside of Traverse City and about 20 minutes from Lake Michigan. It is located on Lake Leelanau and has boat access to the lake and docking availability. The campground is very quiet. If you like a lively active campground, this is may not be the place for you. We only saw a few families with children. Approximately 60% of the sites are seasonal campers. The camp store had a variety of food products and camping supplies although it was not overly large and the selection was somewhat limited. There is ice and firewood available. You choose your own firewood (whatever fills one side of a cart they give you). The amount of firewood is very good for the $5 you pay. It is not stored in a covered shelter, so one night we had some damp wood. One very nice feature was that there was a laundry room. - crazy4camping1

Seasonal campground. Back in site with gravel and cement strip, table and fire ring. Our site was next to the garbage and had a big tree. We really couldn't sit outside because of this. Full hook up, back in, cable, playground, bath and laundry. On lake so lots of boats on property. Wouldn't go back. But would find another campground in the area. - jcpjane

The campground says it's on Cairn Highway, but it's called Ames Street too. There are a lot of permanents, but no problem there. Nice level site with a concrete patio. Good place to stay to explore Traverse City and environs. We needed an oil change for our rig and found a great place to do business. I recommend Uncle Rod's - 231-264-6070 -in Elk Rapids. We find it difficult sometimes to get an oil change for our 30 foot motorhome, so if this helps someone, that's great. They were very accommodating. We had called an RV place in Traverse City and they wanted way too much money. - har-fl

We stayed for six nights at this campground. It is a medium size campground with about 2/3 of the sites taken up with seasonal lease campers. There are two sections: an older one and a newer one. The sites in the older section are smaller, but generally have more shade. The sites in the newer (north) section are larger, but with few trees and many trees that are there have died. All sites have a concrete patio, which is nice. While the campground is on a small lake, there are no lake sites available to overnight campers. Lake access is pretty limited. There is no real camp store, but the campground is relatively close to town – we rode our bikes there several times. Campground roads are gravel and can be dusty. Main bathhouse is a "trailer" type unit with several private bathrooms. While generally clean they could have been maintained better (example: wastebasket never emptied during stay) and better ventilated (always hot and stuffy). The Wi-Fi reception and speed usually pretty good for public Wi-Fi. We would stay here again. - RXA-ADM

This review is based on the fact that this is a Rustic campground. We stayed here for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay, the weather was real nice. The problems with this campground first off is that Lake Michigan is experiencing a problem with algea, we could swim nearby our campsite but had to walk a little ways up a point to get to good clean water, and the sites on the water are beautiful, but the water is rocky, water shoes are a must! There is a sandy beach area near the day use area at the south end of the park, provided you walk south once on the beach. We also used a Charlevoix city park, called Ferry Beach that was nice and an easy drive (either side street near Glenns or 7-11 will take you there). Another fact is that a cement plant is in view from the water front sites and it has a constant noise about it, but nothing to obnoxious or anything that would upset your night of sleep, but it's there. The pit toilets were cleaned every morning and weren't to bad. There is no dump station, so we brought a porta potty and small shower shelter for the kids to use, this worked real nice to keep the black tank from filling to quick. Water, if needed, is from hand pumps, so bring containers if this might be needed, the water had the usual hard water taste, but wasn't bad. Any site on the water is pretty nice with plenty of privacy, I ran my generator in the evening and didn't have to worry about disturbing my neighbors, who on our last morning were both running theirs and I didn't even realize it. So the quiet and privacy here are real nice and the lake views great with occasional frieghters heading into the cement plant. The town of Charlevoix is only a mile or two away and the grocery store is before you have to go into the downtown area that can be real busy and congested, especially after the drawbridge has been up. There are plenty of shops and stores in town to check out if your into that too. Overall a real nice area with a real quiet campground. - Grim Reaper

No water and no sewer make it hard to consider this for more than overnight. The owner did say he can arrange tank drainage if you stay longer. No WiFi is another negative. We would stay again for overnight. - Don E

This is a small quiet campground with water and electric. You don't have some of the amenities in other campgrounds that some folks might be interested in such as store, pool, etc. but, they have the BEST Wifi we've had in almost any campground. We actually prefer a place that doesn't have so many amenities that we would never use. Our price reflects Passport rate. Owner very friendly. We loved it! - Legends Of America
Aug 2013 - $18.00
The nightly rate reflects the PA price. We had a beautiful shaded site, so level that we did not have to even put our jacks down! The small creek directly behind us sounded great as it flowed over large rocks. We had a fire ring and the owner provided a generous amount of firewood for a reasonable price. Our site had both water and 50 amp electric. The water delivery system is a little unusual but the taste and pressure were fine. There is no sewer or dump station, but we were told there was a local pump-out service ($) if we wanted to stay for an extended time. The owners were very nice and I think the low tolerance for alcohol has more to do with behavior than consumption. This will be our 1st choice for a campground if we return to the area. - Lee and Jacque

Campground is a purchase site resort..but you can rent a site thru the management office. Our site for 21 days was a back in #79, backing to entrance road with a treed space between site and road. Resort is one of the most beautiful developments we have ever stayed in, paved roads and over sized sites, grassy with picnic table and carriage house( this site owned and carriage house locked). Many owner activities you can join in on even as a guest tenant. Very, very friendly community. Only 2 downsides : in the area we were in the well water had a lot of sulfur, the water smelled and tasted funny, so bring your charcoal water filters and the wifi is non existent where we were, but depending where you are and how close to a transmitter in the park some people got a signal, but plan to use your hot spot. This park is directed to adults. Class A 's in our section and in newer section and class B&C in middle. - Oooooooo

We have stayed at this park several times, but this may be the last. The price for what you get is way too high. The lots are great, but the (recently upgraded) WiFi is marginal, there is one small pool, the hot-tub is warm! Everyday we get a "sales pitch" - even though we have made it clear we are NOT interested. For this money EVERYTHING must be perfect! - Limey51

Great location to explore the the area and a fantastic location for bicycle riding as a 31 mile path is right in the back of the campsites. ATT data - 5 bars. Sites are very tight so anyone over 30 feet needs to pay attention to site descriptions. Roads are paved and also very tight with trees very close to road - go slow and no problems. Beach access, plenty of outdoor activities to keep all entertained. We will return but probably again in Sept/Oct and not high season of summer. - garry63

We had a bit of a rough time during our stay, no fault of the park system though. A massive storm hit the area, possibly a tornado by the accounts of a couple people I spoke with. My family and I were gone for the day but we returned to carnage. Dozens of damaged campers, and a handful that were completely destroyed by fallen trees. We endured without power for a day or so but the city's cleanup crews were very responsive and on site almost immediately to remove trees and debris. The camp hosts were awesome and helpful, especially after the storm. The park layout itself is fairly well thought out with good to excellent facilities. It was clean and campsites were fairly easily accessible. There are a lot of trees which provide good shade but some were in bad places. I couldn't fully extend my awning for example due to one being a little to close. I'm alright with that because I'd rather camp in a wooded area than be stuck out in a field with no cover. One major downside is that there are no gray water dump drains throughout the park. They expect you to haul your gray water all the way to the front dump station every day and dump it down the sewer hole (confirmed by camp host). I was the only person in the entire park doing so! So where was everyone else dumping their gray water? I'll bet you can guess. The location of the campground is fantastic though as it sits adjacent to a lovely beach and playground on the Grand Traverse Bay. There is a pedestrian sky-bridge that provides easy access across the busy road. Unfortunately, there is NO LIGHT at the campground entrance of that busy road which makes getting your right out of there extremely challenging during peak times. We loved the location and the paved roads in the campground were extensive and perfect for an evening bike ride. The two dump station lanes however are ill-conceived as only ONE is usable on exiting. Therefore, expect long wait times on your way out if you aren't there very early. - hojo70

If you bicycle, you'll love it here. The interior roads are narrow, but once in the site (#204), it was extra-wide and deep enough for our 40 foot motorhome. No road noise in our section, but a real family park with lots of kids. The bike trail is adjacent to a rear gate and town is only 4 miles away. The trail goes way beyond town, another 17 miles to Suttons Bay. It's also an hour from Sleeping Bear National Park with GIANT sand dunes and a bike trail. The sites are electric only and the 2 dump stations can get backed-up at peak times. We were there over the 4th of July and for the National Cherry Festival - a good time to bike to town. The unisex showers are very popular and the floors get dirty from the beach sand and campground dirt. Plenty of hot water though. The restrooms seemed to be cleaned (and not very well) at inopportune times like 9 AM. There are several restroom buildings so you could divert to the next one. As others have said, you do need a Michigan State Park Access Pass - annual cost was $31. Adequate Verizon voice and data. We would stay here again. - Kokomo

"RE: D-7000 serial number"
"Many manufacturers use a numbering architecture that embeds manufacturing information in the serial number and it may only be the last few digits of the number are in sequential order. In other words, many serial numbers aren't completely serial in nature."I believe that to be true, I read a long time ago that both Nikon , Canon etc issue out of sequence serial numbers on both lenses and cameras to prevent disclosing quantity sales.Richard

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Oct. 27 adopted an Order on Reconsideration vacating a 2007 Report and Order on how television broadcasters were required to inform the public of how they serve their communities.
The commission also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a new approach requiring broadcasters to submit documents to an online public file hosted by the FCC.
The vacated 2007 R&O did away with rules requiring stations to maintain a paper public inspection file in favor of making the material available on station websites. According to the commission, legal challenges blocked the 2007 R&O from going into effect.
In the Further Notice, the commission is seeking comment on proposals aimed at reducing the burden placed on the broadcast industry. The agency wants comments on proposals to:
The FNPRM seeks comment on proposals that would reduce burdens on the broadcast industry. The Further Notice proposes to streamline the information broadcasters will need to provide by requiring the Commission to import information already filed with the FCC, and exempts certain items from being posted online such as letters and emails from the public. It further seeks comment on posting sponsorship identification information, now disclosed only on-air, and shared services agreements online as part of the public inspection file hosted by the Commission.
The FCC's action today is consistent with the government-wide effort to increase transparency, and the FCC's broader efforts to modernize data and move its processes from paper to digital. The Commission seeks comment on any other revisions or additions to its rules that would make the information about broadcast service more accessible to the public, improving the dialogue between broadcast stations and the communities they serve while reducing compliance burdens on broadcasters.
In a statement released with the Further Notice, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said making the public inspection file of broadcasters available online is consistent with the pledge he made upon taking on the post to use technology and new media to improve how the agency runs.
"Making this information easily accessible will let the public see the large number of broadcasters that are doing a strong job of meeting their public interest obligations, and also those that are not," said Genachowski.

Jameson's Beau [Sutton Brothers 2] (Siren Publishing Classic ManLove)by Elsie Moore
[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, werewolves, HEA] Being seen as a screw-up and a brat was getting very old, very fast. Beau Sutton had only ever wanted his family to see him and appreciate the skills he could bring to his pack. Meeting a mysterious man by the name of Jameson is a delightful distraction from his anger at his family, but Beau can't figure out why he is so drawn to Jameson. Jameson Tate is the beta to the White Valley pack, club owner, and walking badass. The feuding with Suncrest Valley has been taking a toll on his pack and he wants the fighting to end. When he spots Beau in his club his wolf and he are mesmerized by the young pup. However, when Beau seeks retaliation for his family's ignorance and it backfires, Jameson has to decide if Beau is truly worth the effort of a relationship, especially if it impacts his pack. Beau has to learn to trust Jameson, come to terms with the new desires the beta creates in him, and figure out why that crackling in the air is such a turn-on whenever Jameson enters the room! ** A Siren Erotic Romance

How do I communicate better when I'm about to, erm, get my freak on?
Exactly as it says on the tin. How do, without faking it, I be more upfront about my dating/sexual inexperience with my potential partners, and when? [more inside]
Sex Therapy Books or other resources
My wife told me last night that she has lost interest in sex. We'd like to go see a couples sex therapist, but that's not something we can afford at the moment. Until that changes, can you recommend books or online resources that might be able to help us?
Big difference in age/experience on a first date and if something more.
So I am a 34 male and I knowingly asked a 19-20-21-ish-year-old on a coffee date. I mentioned the age difference to her when I did so. She said, "Sure." If we go on more dates after this date and/or become physically intimate, how can I minimize the chance that she will retrospectively feel preyed upon or taken advantage of in X years? [more inside]
Low on $$, need help deciding on doing nude photography...
I've been unemployed for some time, receiving unemployment, savings dwindling. I got a seemingly lucrative offer to model for nude, specificly fetish-art modeling pics, and need help deciding whether to take it. [more inside]
Sensual Songs
Tell me about some songs that are sensual in the way that "Take Me to Church" is, but aren't overtly, explicitly sexual the way that "Do Me!" or "Let's Get It On" are. [more inside]
Help me want to have sex
Mid 30s heterosexual man wanting to learn how to desire and enjoy sex with a partner (not masturbation). While I have a healthy libido/masturbate regularly/etc, I have little emotional interest in having actual sex. Let me first say that I understand therapy is likely needed, but I would very much appreciate feedback beyond go see a therapist. Throwaway email: email@example.com [more inside]
How can I (male) delay orgasm?
I'm a mid-40s male and my entire life I've been a hair-trigger. Not a premature orgasm, but over very fast. Google-fu came up with scams and creams, but is there any way to fix this? [more inside]
My husband will not have sex with me. Can I hear it from the men?
I have been married for 8 years. We have one son, he is 6. I would love to give him a sibling, but it is very hard to get my husband interested in sex. Apart from the procreative goal, it is very lonely and hurtful living with someone who to all intents and purposes does not find me attractive. I am slim, reasonably fit and look good for my age (late thirties-he is a few years older). He is otherwise loving and affectionate. What do you men say? Why would you go off your own wife sexually? [more inside]
Redirecting sexual energy
I have a healthy sexual appetite, but can't have sex right now. What do I do with all of this energy in the meantime? [more inside]
Help me fulfill my partner's fantasy in the most creative ways possible
NSFW. My SO recently confessed a sexual fantasy of his which requires some advance brainstorming on my part, as it centers around a sexy game. Any suggestions are much appreciated! [more inside]
Great connection, terrible sex
I asked a friend on a date recently. The date went really, really well, until we tried to have sex. Now I'm not sure if I should try again, or see if I can get out and save the friendship. [more inside]
Is my marriage so unusual?
The other night I asked my husband if he is happy and, after about 30 minutes of thoughtful consideration, he said he feels the concept of a long happy marriage is overrated and that he "isn't not happy." He is satisfied. [more inside]
Can tantra be therapeutic?
I've been seeing a therapist for a while for various reasons, including coming to terms with rape and a generally traumatic sexual history. My issues with sex have basically made any relationships impossible and at this point I've been single and celibate for five years. I would like to change this - or at least to feel like I have the ability to have a fulfilling sexual life if I want to. My therapist has suggested that I look into tantra and has recommended a practitioner for one-on-one work and also an organization that runs weekend courses for groups. Is this legit and/or a good idea? [more inside]
Sex Anxiety Ruining Dating
How do I - healthy 20-something male - have a normal dating life when my libido seems to wax and wane? [more inside]
Help me blow him away...
I'm no stranger to blow jobs, and I'm not bad at them by far, but I still want to know: what is the move that blows you/your partner's mind out of the water?
Is there a safe way to make lube smell better?
So, I ordered some lube online (Please Cream) and while it works fine, it doesn't smell the best. Is there anything I can add to it to make it smell better? [more inside]
Promiscuous Male Artists
Can you give me examples of male visual artists who are and were known for their gratuitous sexual behavior? Sexuality doesn't matter, and neither does period or style. I'm very curious. Thank you.
How do I do casual sex?
I'm trying to loosen up, have fun, and gain more sexual experience; however, I tend to be a bit emotional. By the same token I also tend to feel tied down sometimes in serious relationships and I want to "look around" more before deciding to be in a serious relationship. Looking for ideas on how to balance that. [more inside]
help me become a dom...
we're both total subs (sexually, it doesn't extend beyond the bedroom). he *really* wants to be dominated. how do i switch my thinking and give him the experience he wants?
Is this guy interested in dating or just hooking up?
I met this 20-something guy through a mutual friend at a party and we've been texting each other for the past week. He insisted that we should go out drinking sometimes. When I talked to the mutual friend about him, she said that he thinks I'm cute, but she also mentioned that he admitted he had slept with at least 6 girls, of which only 1 was a serious girlfriend. Is there a good odd that he's only into me for sex? How can I tell? I'm at the point in my life where I want a serious relationship, and I'm not sure if I should give this guy a chance. Thanks for your help!
I'm having erectile dysfunction issues.
So I'm having trouble getting it up, and I want to be able to have sex with my girlfriend. So. [more inside]
To the Sex(t) Level
I want to introduce more kink and toys to sexy time with the Mr. I need to first get over my embarrassment of kink and sex toys so that I can then apply your lessons for how to introduce kink and sex toys to the Mr. [more inside]
Scared of attraction.
29 year old heterosexual male. I believe that I have social anxiety when it comes to talking to women I am attracted to - perhaps more than normal. This has meant very little sex or relationships throughout my life. Practical ideas for dealing with this would be appreciated. [more inside]

Condoms breaking

Is there a place in the kink community for the not-especially-kinky?
I am interested in attending a kink-community meetup in a mid-size, left-leaning U.S. city and I am wondering what to expect, and whether it seems likely that I would meet any like-minded people and sex partners. [more inside]
Help us make sex at each other pls thx.
My boyfriend of the past 4 months and I are still struggling to have consistently successful sex with each other for a number of reasons and I need suggestions for things we can do to fix it. [more inside]
How can I be a safe painslut?
I realized awhile ago I'm a bit of a painslut. I finally have a partner who is willing to explore that with me. However, I apparently don't know my limits or when to say stop. This has resulted in some minor injuries (details inside). How can I explore this aspect of my sexuality safely? [more inside]
Is there really a point to "gender" verification?
Is there any real, concrete reason for genetically testing female athletes like Castor Semenya? It seems to me to be an exercise in gender policing and humiliation rather than anything else. [more inside]
I want to want you to want it (that way)
I am having trouble directing my kinky desires towards my long-term partner. Help? [more inside]
Sex Pain
I'm starting to be sexually active after a long hiatus. I'm having issues that I've never had before. Let me tell you the details! [more inside]
Post-coital repulsion
I use sex-related words in my question, so I've placed it in the extended area in case anyone is browsing at a prudish workplace. [more inside]
How do I protect myself emotionally as a submissive?
I'm a bi female in my early 30s, just out of a decade long very vanilla relationship. I live in NYC and have been exploring my submissive side. Really enjoying it. Like, alot. I have never had better sex in my life and it is amazing. I am extremely submissive and I'm having a little bit of difficultly making sure I am emotionally safe. Because of the nature of my situation, I can't really talk to my usual family or friend connections when I need to vent. [more inside]
Help me un-tight my business and enjoy sex
I really want to enjoy sex but my vagina is too tight for that to happen. [more inside]
Condom broke, what next? PEP usage with a partner of unknown status
I'm a late-thirties bi man who's relatively new to having sex with men - like, total partner count under 5. Last night I went home with a guy I sort-of knew, which is not something I've ever done before. The condom broke while I was bottoming and he didn't notice until afterwards. What next? [more inside]
Gettin' it on
How have you reconciled differing sex drives? [more inside]
Do sex drives ever INCREASE after 3+ years in a relationship?
My SO and I have been growing together more and more in the last three years. However, one thing seems to grow less and less, and as we move closer to thinking about marriage, I am a little concerned that our sex drives are mismatched for a very long term relationship. I am 23 and she is 21. I've heard a ton of anecdotes about women "waking up" sexually around 25. Is it realistic for me to think that that could be a possibility? [more inside]
I want to have sex.
My ex of three years and I broke up a few days ago. Initially he told me that the main reason was our different feelings about marriage (see previous posts), but upon further discussion, he said the biggest issue was our lack of intimacy. [more inside]
Best lube?
Update on this guy: http://ask.metafilter.com/87425/best-lube 6 years later, as there may be new stuff on the market. [more inside]
Is skipping oral sex ok?
A recurring situation in my life: Meet a great girl, start sexy time, feel erect from kissing and fondling (good!), the girl goes down on me and then I completely lose my erection (bad). I cannot remember a time in my life that I've enjoyed oral sex. Is there something wrong with me? [more inside]
Help me fix my negative feelings about sex
I feel strong negative feelings about my girlfriend's sexual past. These feelings are making me hate myself, and pull away emotionally from the relationship. More inside [more inside]
One night stand confusion
Does this have potential to turn into a relationship? [more inside]
Halp! First experience with nonmonogamy
First non monogamous relationship. First serious post-marriage relationship. Lots of feelings. Need a navigator. [more inside]
Help us help our sex life
Early twenties couple fumbling through sex. Him: sometimes can't keep up an erection, or has to keep stopping and starting. Me: can't orgasm and it all feels a bit lukewarm. I'm worried that this will eventually kill our relationship. Sorry for the wall of text but I'm getting a bit desperate. [more inside]
Fraught discussion of my sexual history with current partner
I'm a mid-20s dude in a solid, fulfilling relationship with a woman in her early 20s, who we'll call G. G and I see eye-to-eye on pretty much everything important, but one sticking point has come up with regards to my sexual history that's bothering us both quite a bit. [Details are probably NSFW] [more inside]
Help resolve a hygiene debate.
Should you wash your hands after touching genitals (your own and/or a partner's)? Assume the partners in question are monogamous and STD's are not a concern. [more inside]
Polyandry - tell me everything
I'm writing a dystopian sci fi novel and it's coming along sparkingly. Yay. One of the plot lines involves a shortage of women, and the development of new family units utilising polyandry. I'm looking for resources - primarily non-fiction - of both positive and negative experiences of polyandry. [more inside]
New relationship and starting Lexapro
Effects on libido, dosage, other factors [more inside]
What are your go-to songs for making sweet love to?
Say you're getting hot and heavy with that special person in your life, and say you'd like to play some music while you're Doing the Deed. What's spinning on your record player? The sexier and more lust-inducing your suggestions are, the better. Thanks!
From lay reading and popular science I understand that male chimpanzees are aggressive and extremely political. My question is, is the killing of adult female by adult male chimpanzees a thing? Is it a hazard of sexual contact for the female? Has it been observed, and if so, are there any explanations? Notes: I understand anthropomorphic concerns are not relevant framing for understanding ape sex. I have no difficulty with any of the terms used here: Primate Ifo Net. I've had a quick look through here: Sexual Coercion in Primates and Humans, and it doesn't answer the question. [more inside]

Without question best player in the state, by miles, and best player in the conference. Way to go Tyler. He will lead the Cougars, best team in the state, into the NCAA tourney and BYU will be the representative from Utah, along with the other school from Utah valley.

Way to go Tyler. We can all see why you are the best player in the state and
well deserving of this acknowledgement. Kudos to Kyle as well as the 2nd best
player in the state. You make the Cougar Nation and the state of Utah proud.
NCAA tourney is looking like a reality with the solid finish to the season.
It looks like the other team from down south will also make the tourney.

Tyler should be in the final 2 or 3 for national player of the year. Hopefully
he won't go to the NBA after this season.
If he leaves for the NBA, he should be a top 5 pick.

Tyler will be in the first 10, not 5. That being said, I think he'll wait one more year so he'll be number one overall. Cause that's how it works.

In a conference that had exactly zero ranked teams it's not saying much to
be player of the year.
The wcc is a bad conference and the great majority of the players didnt receive any offers from any power conference programs.

Haws is without a doubt the best player at byu.
Lets not get carried away about best in the state though. Haws is at best 3rd best player in the state of Utah.

Chris B.
I think it's debatable whether Haws is the best player at BYU. And I could see him being 2nd best player in the state but not third. Who do you have above him? Collingsworth and Mika? Come on, Mika isn't that good... yet.

Oh please, Ute trolls give it a rest... other than Johnson for Arizona name me a better player than Haws in the West, do not tell me Loveridge, Wright, or Gordon , Loveridge and Wright disappear in big games and cannot win on the road while struggling to be .500 in the PAC 12 and Gordon, while athletic cannot shoot outside of ten feet. From the moment Haws has stepped on the court at BYU he has performed. He has a target on his back while gettin mugged every game. He is a pure shooter, smart and very athletic. He is a winner period. And yes, if he was in your beloved PAC 12 he would be on the first team there also.

Tyler deserves credit for fighting through all the defenses designed to stop
him, which also freed up his team mates; Chris C. is the BYU glue, yet has much
room for improvement; Mika played tough, but too many fouls; Matt Carlino is a
wizard with the ball and is awesome when intensely focused; Nate Austin is an
unsung hero, only wish he'd take more shots 'cause he'd make at
least half of them; the rest of the team is much appreciated for their fighting,
competitive spirit and for playing together; Winder is much better than his
playing time shows, maybe saved the day with his defense and scoring of late.
Cougars need a plan like maybe a zone press or half court press to push the tempo, they get really hurt when other team slows down the game, controls the tempo, my opinion.

Ummm Chris, maybe you should look it up before you post. The Utes offered Tyler, and he turned them down flat because he wanted to play for a real college basketball team. Ty would have gotten more offers; but most teams, unlike the Utes knew where he would sign.

Our awsome rode record proves we have the best player in the state because we
are in a power conference.
Go Utes!

Congrats Tyler!!!
Chris B, Tyler could have chosen any school he wanted and he did, you are just mad it was BYU and he has done so well!!! Tell us how many awards the mighty Utes received from that high and mighty prestigious PAC12? Both BYU players earned their awards with hard work in games and in practice!!! I am sure both players would say it was a whole team effort that allowed them to win these awards because they are both team first type players!!!

Congrat's to Tyler who's a terrific player on the court and a terrific person off the court. Looking forward to the remainder of this season and seeing him back playing for BYU next season. He'll continue to have a great college career and move on to the NBA no doubt. BTW-- no one should be fooled into thinking all those claiming to be BYU fans making ridiculous comments are actually BYU fans. Some are clearly just trying to make the rest of us look silly.

Great players lead their team to tourneys. Can anyone on the hill say that?
Haws is ot only the best player in the state but BYU has two other players that have stats real close to Wright's and better in some categorie for example; KC has one .04 assists less than Wright but has 1.6 more rebounds per game and 1.7 blocks and scores 3 points less per game. Carlino is real close to Wright's stats as well. Mika ia not far behind either.
To all the uts trolls, these are real numbers that cannot be disputed when you take the crimson glasses off.

For all of those who think that Wright is the better player you have to consider that Haws does it with usually two guys guarding him, and no he does not just shoot three pointers. A lot of his points come in the paint. I guess when you are the 6th best scorer in the country this will happen ans all of this while playing the 4th toughest OCC schedule in the country. Wright has the luxury of only have one player defending him while playing the 350th worst occ schecule in the country.

Posted in thread: C02 Pressure on 09-30-2015 at 11:27 PM
A 2liter bottle? Like a glass bottle? Do you have a pic of the setup? Make sure you aren't
pushing too much C02 in there that might go beyond what the vessel is rated for.
