This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/112,563 entitled "Outdoor Garden Post", filed Mar. 28, 2002 and still pending, which in turn is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/860,064 entitled "Landscape Fixture Support Post", filed May 17, 2001 and still pending.
The present invention relates to the field of outdoor ground-level fixtures and electrical devices, and more particularly to a modular enclosure that enables easy installation of fixtures in the landscape at a variety of user-selected heights.
It is well known to mount various lights and other fixtures outdoors in order to provide illumination or other decorative effects to a landscape. Various devices for mounting such lights and fixtures have been proposed. Most of these proposed devices are of a fixed dimension and therefore limit the installation of the fixture to only one preselected height. Often, however, a landowner may desire light fixtures, for example, in various areas of the landscape. It may be desired, for example, to mount light fixtures along a path through a yard. In some sections along the path, such as turf areas, the landowner may desire a low mounted fixture to make the fixture less obvious during the daytime. In other sections, such as shrub areas, the landowner may desire a light fixture that is mounted at a height to provide illumination above the shrub tops. A need therefore exists for a device to allow mounting of fixtures at various heights, selectable by the user, in an outdoor setting. The device should be easy to install, provide a solid anchor to the ground, stable, durable, inexpensive, and easy to maintain. The fixture-mounting device should also provide an UL-listed junction box to enable separation of the wiring connections from proximity to the ground and thereby provide protection against ground moisture and insects.
A parent application to this Continuation-In-Part application, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/112,563, disclosed a mounting device for mounting a fixture in an outdoor setting. The outdoor garden post of U.S. Ser. No. 10/112,563 however, was limited to mounting a fixture or a device at a single height above the ground level. What is needed is a device that is adaptable to enable mounting of fixtures at various heights in a landscape setting. The device should provide a secure junction box to isolate wiring from environmental hazards, provide a solid anchor to the ground, provide easy access for underground cables to enter the device, and exhibit the characteristics of being stable, durable, inexpensive, easy to install, and easy to maintain.
A first advantage of the present invention is that it provides a fixture-mounting device that may be easily inserted in the ground and is able to support fixtures at various heights above the ground surface.
Additionally, the fixture-mounting device provides a weatherproof box for holding and protecting wiring connections. The box is an Underwriters Labs (UL) listed box that provides for easy mounting of electrical devices such as electrical receptacles and switches.
An additional advantage is that the fixture-mounting device provides an arrangement for easily mounting a light fixture. Either low voltage or line voltage fixtures may be used.
Additionally, the fixture-mounting device is stable, durable, easily maintained and accessed after installation, and is easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
Another advantage exhibited by the fixture-mounting device of the present invention is that it is easily installed and adapted to different heights by a homeowner.
These, and other objects, will become readily apparent to one of skill in the art having regard for this disclosure.
The invention is a fixture-mounting device that is modular in nature and provides a means of supporting a fixture or box-mounted electrical device above the ground. The device includes a top member for accepting a fixture, a box-mounted electrical device, or a combination of each. A base member includes a large entryway to allow lead in of electrical cables into the device and radial projections for secure anchoring to the ground. One or more extenders may be included to increase the height of the device. A low mounting post for mounting a fixture and/or box-mounted electrical device may be created by securing the top and base members together. A post of intermediate height may be created by securing an extender between the top and base members. Additional extenders may be added to further extend the height of fixture.
The fixture-mounting device, or garden post, may be used for mounting devices that are typically used in a landscape surrounding such as lights, cameras, photocells to control lighting, and other similar devices. An UL-listed electrical box is provided within the top member for housing electrical receptacles, switches, ground fault circuit interrupters ("GFCI's") or similar devices that typically are secured within an UL-listed box.
In a preferred embodiment a top member, extender, and base member may be secured together to form a garden post of intermediate height. Secured thus, the members comprise an elongated body of square cross section having a top and a bottom end. The top end protrudes from the ground and includes an aperture through which various devices may be mounted or connected. The bottom end is tapered to provide a large entryway for leading electrical cables into the enclosure. The assembled garden post is essentially hollow but with a portion near the top closed off to provide an UL-listed electrical outlet box. A service portal provides access to the outlet box from one side of the post and is typically provided with a removable cover that is secured thereto.

As this invention may be more easily explained by reference to the attached drawings, it should be noted that the figures are representative and exemplary of the invention only, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way.
The garden post of the present invention is an apparatus that may be used to provide electrical service in a landscape setting. The garden post is suitable for a wide range of fixtures and electrical devices that are typically mounted in a landscape. Such fixtures and electrical devices include, but are not limited to, lighting fixtures, sensors such as rain gauges, light sensors, motion sensors, and infrared sensors, cameras, microphones, receptacles, switches, ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacles, and vibration detectors. The garden post of the present invention is modular in nature, consisting of a top member and a base member, and may include one or more extenders to increase the height of the fixture or electrical device above the landscape. A stable, easily serviceable, attractive mounting platform is desirable for many applications, and the present invention provides such a platform that is also inexpensive to produce and weather resistant.
Referring now to FIG. 1, an outdoor garden post of intermediate height 20 according to the present invention is shown. The preferred embodiment of the garden post of intermediate height 20 is comprised of a top member 22, an extender 24, and a base member 26. The top member 22, extender 24, and base member 26 are typically rigid, hollow, and formed in an injection molding process with a sufficient wall thickness to support the combined fixture and make it sturdy enough to resist lawn mowers or similar equipment when mounted in the ground. A presently preferred material for forming the body is plastic such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate, acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS), or polyethylene. Other materials may be used for construction of the body as well, such as metal. Preferably, the four side walls 28 are from 0.1 to 0.5 inch thick. A preferred embodiment formed of polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride is more preferably 0.15 to 0.25 inch thick. It is desired to keep the wall thickness as thin as possible while still providing the proper strength and rigidity for the assembled garden post, as the device will be less expensive to produce. By providing a top member 22, extender 24, base member 26, and a cover formed by injection molding of a pigmented plastic, the elongated body does not exhibit discoloration from chipping. Therefore, the body and cover have the advantage of not showing chips and dents from accidental bumps by lawn mowers, yard tools, and the like.
As shown in FIG. 2, the top member 22, extender 24, and base member 26 are assembled and secured together, typically with a solvent cement, to form a secure bond between the various pieces. If the various members are molded of PVC, a PVC solvent cement would typically perform a weld much like the weld on metal pipes. When the solvent cement is applied to each adjacent piece, the plastic surfaces are softened and meld together. Once the joint is assembled, the solvent evaporates leaving behind a hardened resin and a joint that is more durable than the plastic pieces themselves. One suitable PVC cement is that provided by Hercules Chemical Co., Inc., in Passaic, N.J.
Now referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the base member 26 includes several radial projections 30 extending outwardly from the side walls 28. One or more of the radial projections 30 may include apertures 31. The apertures 31 are available to accept growing roots or insertion of rebar or similar reinforcing members to provide additional ground anchoring strength. The apertures 31 also reduce the amount of polymer required in the molding operation, thereby reducing production cost of the base member 26. A thicker body portion 33 is provided on the top edge of the radial projections 30 to increase strength and rigidity. Fillets 35 are provided at all edges of the junction of each radial projection 30 with the side walls 28 of the base member 26 to further increase the strength of the radial projections. A sharpened lower edge 37 is provided on the bottom edge of each radial projection 30 to enhance soil penetration ability. The length of each radial projection extending from the side wall 28 of the base member 26 to their distal ends 39 is typically at least 70% of the width of the base member 26. Therefore, for a typical embodiment in which the outer width of the base member is 3.25 inches, each radial projection 30 is at least 2.28 inches in length from the side wall 28 of the base member 26 to the distal end 39 of the radial projection 30.
The base member includes a top end 32 and a bottom end 34 with the top end having a planar top edge 36 and the bottom end 34 having a sharply sloped bottom edge 38. Since the base member 26 is hollow, the sloped bottom edge 38 creates a large entryway 40 for running cable (not shown) into the garden post. The base member is typically 12 inches in length, although longer lengths would be acceptable. The bottom 34 of the base member 26 is formed into a spike formed by removing the side walls 28 along an angled plane. The preferred angle of the plane with respect to the side walls is approximately 25 degrees, but may acceptably be between 20 and 40 degrees. This forms a large entryway 40 for the passage of cables (not shown) into the post. This large cable entryway 40 makes it very convenient to lead an underground electrical feed into the garden post, as the large opening is typically 3.0 inches wide by 7.5 inches long. If the post is buried a foot in the ground, cables buried from 5 inches to 12 inches deep will line up with the opening, making it easy and convenient to lead cables (not shown) into the entryway 40. As shown in the top view of FIG. 5, the base member 26 preferably includes four radial projections 30, with one extending from each side wall 28.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the hollow elongated extender 24 includes a top end 42 and a bottom end 44. The side walls 28 on the bottom end 44 flare out to form an extender collar 46 that is of wider outer dimensions than the top portion of the extender 24. The wide extender collar 46 enables the bottom end 44 of the extender 24 (see FIG. 5) to fit over the top end 32 of the base member 26 (see FIG. 3).
Referring now to FIG. 8, the hollow top member 22 with side walls 28 includes a bottom end 48 and a top end 50 with the bottom end flaring out to form a top member collar 52. The wide top member collar 52 enables the bottom end 48 of the top member 22 to fit over the top end 32 of the base member 26 (see FIG. 3) or the top end 42 of the extender 24 (see FIG. 5). The side walls 28 are removed on one side of the top member 22 to form an access portal 54. The top member preferably is 24 inches long, but there are no restrictions to its length as it could easily be molded in other lengths.
Now referring to FIG. 9, a sectional view depicts the hollow top member 22 with a shelf 56 installed therein to form an UL-listed junction box 58 at its top end 50. The junction box 58 is completely bounded by the side walls 28 of the top member 22 and the shelf 56 with an access portal 54 formed in one of the side walls 28. Thick wall sections 60 are formed in the center of the front side 28A. The thick wall sections 60 include apertures 62 to accept fasteners 64 for securing the ears of an electrical device, such as a duplex receptacle 66 and additional apertures 68 to accept fasteners 70 for securing a cover plate 72 as shown. The top wall 74 of the top member 22 includes an aperture 76 that will accept a standard light fixture (not shown) or similar fixture. The inner wall 78 of the aperture 76 may contain female threads to accept the male threads of a standard fixture, or the inner wall 78 may have smooth walls as depicted in FIG. 8 and a bushing 80 secured thereto. The bushing 80 is typically internally threaded to accept a fixture. Preferably, the interior threads of the bushing are �-inch NPT size, which will accept the �-inch exterior threads that are typically provided on most standard fixtures (not shown). The lower end of the bushing 80 has exterior threads that extend through the top wall 74 and is secured by a correspondingly mated nut 82 on the interior of the top member 22. A bushing gasket 83 is typically provided between the bushing 80 and the outer surface of the top wall 74 to make the bushing watertight with the top member 22. A ground wire 84 is secured to a grounding lug 85 that extends from the nut 82 into a junction box 58 formed by the shelf 56 that is secured to the top member 22.
According to a preferred embodiment of the garden post according to the present invention, the junction box 58 typically measures 2.8 inches across by 3.9 inches long by 2.8 inches deep. These dimensions provide a junction box 58 that contains enough volume to accommodate any typical box mounted electrical device, including standard GFCI wiring devices. Sufficient clearance is provided around the GFCI device and at least 2.0 inches depth behind it for accommodating the wiring connections. The access portal 54 leading into the junction box 58 is typically 2.2 inches across by 3.3 inches long, also sized to accommodate a GFCI device or any other standard electrical device.
FIG. 10 depicts a cap 86 that is used to close off the aperture 76 in the top wall 74 in those situations in which the garden post is used only for supporting an installed electrical device in the junction box 58, and no fixture. The cap 86 is threaded and secured to the top wall 74 by a cap nut 88. The cap 86 is provided with the outdoor garden post to enable sealing and weatherproofing the top of the garden post in those instances in which a user prefers to use the post for an electrical device mounted in the junction box but does not intend to attach a fixture to the top bushing. The cap is threaded exteriorly and threads into the female threads of the bushing.
Referring now to FIGS. 11 through 13, the shelf 56 includes one or more areas where a portion of the shelf is removed to form knockouts 90. After the shelf is secured within the top member (not shown), the knockouts 90 can be easily punched out of the shelf to provide electrical supply wiring to the junction box. The shelf 56 has an inner 92 and outer 94 end. Thin walled bridges 96 are provided in the shelf 56 to provide the wiring knockouts 90. The side view of the shelf 56 in FIG. 12 depicts the outer end 94 with a lip 98 and a boss 100. As shown in FIG. 13, a view of the shelf 56 from the right side of FIG. 11, two lips 98 are preferred along with their bosses 100 (one in view in FIG. 12). Coaxial apertures 102 are provided in the lips 98 and bosses 100 to accept fasteners (not shown). The gap 104 between the lips 98 and bosses 100, as shown in FIG. 12, accommodates the wall thickness of the elongated body (not shown) when fitted thereon.
Referring to FIG. 15, a side view of a short garden post 106 with a portion of the side wall 28 broken away, a shelf 56 is shown extending from the bottom edge of the access portal 54 into the top member 22. The access portal 54 in the top member 22 is typically formed in the molding operation. As shown in FIG. 15, the garden post may be provided with a cover plate 72 and a gasket 108 sandwiched between the cover plate 72 and the side wall 28. The top member 22 is provided with a shelf 56 inserted therein to form a junction box 58 ready to accept a standard wall mounted electrical device such as a duplex receptacle. The shelf 56 is secured to the top member 22 by fasteners 110 secured through the shelf's lip 98, through coaxial apertures 102 in the side wall 28 of the top member 22, and into the boss 100 that is integral with the shelf 56. Line voltage or low voltage may be supplied to the junction box 58 by removing one or more of the knockouts (not shown) in the shelf 56 and drawing cable therein.
Referring to FIG. 16, a front view of the short garden post 106 shows the top member 22 secured to the base member 26. The garden post of the present invention is supplied with a top member 22 and a base member 26, or all the required pieces to form a short garden post 106 according to the present invention. However, if a homeowner wishes to install a longer garden post to raise the height of a fixture or electrical device, then an extender 24 may be used for this purpose. A short garden post 106 such as shown in FIG. 16 may be assembled by applying PVC cement to the bottom end 48 of the top member 22 and the top end (obscured by the top member collar 52) of the base member 26, joining the two together, and holding them together for approximately 30 seconds. Set up time of the cement will vary with ambient conditions, with warmer temperatures and lower humidity hastening the curing time. Once glued with the PVC cement, the two pieces are strongly bonded together, with the joint typically stronger than the non-joint area.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the bottom end 44 of the extender 24 and the bottom end 48 of the top member 22 are flared to a size slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the non-flared portions of the extender 24 and base member 26. The non-flared portions of the top member 22, extender 24, and base member 26 are all preferably equal in dimension and are typically 4.000 inches wide across the outer walls. The dimension across the inner walls 112 of the flared portion of the extender 24 and the inner walls 114 of the flared portion top member 22 are equal and typically 4.062 inches. Therefore, when fitting the top member 22 on top of the base member 26 or on top of an extender 24, or the extender 24 on top of the base member 26 or on top of another extender 24, typically 0.031 inch of clearance is available between the inner walls of the flared section and the outer walls of the non-flared section of the pieces being joined. If the members are constructed of PVC, the PVC cement is typically spread on the inner walls of the flared portion and the outer walls of the top of the member it will be joined to. With the vertical overlap between the flared portion and the non-flared portion measuring typically 2.0 inches, a great deal of surface area is available between the two pieces for bonding. The flared portion is located on the bottom portion of the top piece to enable rainwater to run off the flared portion and away from the joint.
FIG. 1 depicts a preferred embodiment of a garden post of intermediate length 20 according to the present invention. A top member 22 is shown bonded to an extender 24, which in turn is bonded to a base member 26. An installer would typically first glue the top member 22, extender 24, and base member 26 together. A hole (not shown) would then be formed in the ground at the location desired for a fixture or electrical device. Underground electrical cable 116 would then be typically run to the hole. The cable 116 would then be run into the cable entryway 40. As long as the depth of the cable meets the local electrical codes, the depth is not critical as the entryway is typically 7.0 inches long and provides ample space for cable entry into the post. The bottom end 34 of the garden post 20 is then buried and the ground tamped to hold it securely in the ground. The radial projections 30 extend outwardly from the base member 26 and help to further anchor the post 20 in the ground. The top member 22 is typically 24 inches in length, the extender 24 typically 18 inches in length, and the base member 26 typically 12 inches in length. Therefore, with 2 inches vertical overlap at the top joint 118 and 2 inches vertical overlap at the bottom joint 120, the preferred embodiment of the intermediate length garden post 20 is typically 50 inches in length from the top end 50 of the top member 22 to the bottom end 34 of the base member 26. When buried to a depth of 14 inches, as shown by the ground level line 121 in FIG. 1, the intermediate length garden post 20 extends approximately 36 inches out of the ground. Additional extenders 24 may be added to increase the height of the garden post. Each additional extender 24 will add approximately 16 inches of length to the post. A garden post with two extenders would therefore extend typically about 52 inches from the ground, a garden post with three extenders would extend typically about 68 inches from the ground, etc. As additional extenders 24 are added to create a higher post however, a homeowner would typically bury the base end 34 further in the ground to better support the additional length.
FIG. 1 depicts the intermediate length garden post 20 with a light fixture 122 mounted on top and a duplex receptacle 124 mounted within the junction box. The garden post will accommodate a wide range of fixtures and electrical devices that are typically mounted in a landscape. Such fixtures and electrical devices include, but are not limited to, lighting fixtures, sensors such as rain gauges, light sensors, motion sensors, and infrared sensors, cameras, speakerphones, microphones, timers, receptacles, switches, ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacles, and vibration detectors.
FIG. 2 depicts the manner in which the separate members are assembled to form a garden post of intermediate height 20 according to the present invention. An installer would typically secure the top member 22 to the extender 24 and the extender to the base member 26 with PVC cement. Typically the top member 22, extender 24, and base member 26 are assembled at the installation site. The shelf 56 is then typically removed to enable the cable 116 to be run easily through the assembled post 20. Cable is then typically run through the post 20 starting at the bottom 34, through the access portal 54, and then through a knockout in the shelf 56. The shelf 56 is then slipped into place at the bottom of the access portal 54 and secured with fasteners 110 to form the junction box 58 at the top of the top member 22. The garden post 20 is then placed in the ground and the hole backfilled and packed to hold the post securely. A fixture, such as the light fixture 122 shown in FIG. 2, can then be screwed into the bushing 80 on top of the assembled and anchored post 20. Wiring connections can then be completed to the fixture and, if desired, to an electrical device, such as the duplex receptacle 124 shown in FIG. 2. The electrical device is then secured with fasteners 64. A cover gasket 108 and a cover plate 72 are then secured over the electrical device 124 with fasteners 70 to create a sealed and watertight junction box and thereby complete the installation. The junction box 58 is sized large enough to accept ground fault receptacles and any standard wall mounted electrical device.
Referring now to FIG. 14, a preferred embodiment of the short garden post 106 according to the present invention is shown. The short garden post 106 is formed by securing a top member 22 and a base member 26 with PVC cement, or other appropriate cement compatible with the material of construction. FIG. 14 depicts a light fixture 122 mounted on top of the short post 106 with a photocell 126 mounted in the junction box to control the illumination of the light 122 based on the ambient lighting conditions.
As described herein, a garden post according to this disclosure can be constructed of many different heights, such as short, intermediate, or tall, by installing additional extenders between the top member and base member. Therefore, additional stability may be required to anchor the garden post into the ground as the height is increased. The length of the radial projections extending from the side wall of the base member to their distal ends is typically at least 70% of the width of the base member. It is desirable and acceptable to provide alternative embodiments of the base member in which the radial projections extend even further from the side walls of the base member to provide additional stability and a better ground anchor for taller embodiments of the garden post.
The garden post is designed and constructed to accept line voltage, or 120-volt power, and devices and fixtures requiring line voltage. However, it also may easily be used for low-voltage lights and fixtures if preferred.
Suitable gasket materials may be any of the commonly available flexible waterproof materials, such as rubber (natural or synthetic), Neoprene™, Santoprene™, or other flexible and deformable polymeric materials.
While the invention has been described by reference to the preferred embodiment disclosed herein, the invention is subject to considerable modification and may be tailored to fit the needs of many suitable mounting needs without departing from the scope or spirit of the claims which are appended hereto.

Not a problem. Hardly noticeable unless you are the super duplo perfectionist type and the sun shines onto the screen.

Product Description:

Liner Note Author: Fred Frank.
As the title suggests, Dues Paid, Vol. 1 contains a selection of early, little-heard recordings from Tina Turner. They're not that early, when you consider that she had sung with Ike for a number of years before going solo, but the key to this collection is that it's filled with lesser-known material. Some of this is very good, but the problem with the compilation is that it's shoddily assembled and has poor sound. This material is worthy, but it deserves better presentation than this. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

MARAD Recycles 3 More Ships
The U. S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration has signed fee-for-service contracts to recycle three more of its obsolete ships. Two ships, the Hattiesburg Victory and the Pioneer Contractor, are from the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Texas, and one, the oiler Savannah, is from the James River Reserve Fleet in Virginia. The Maritime Administration has moved 118 ships out of its National Defense Reserve Fleet sites since 2001. With the contracts announced today, there are only 24 ships left in the James River waiting to be disposed of and without disposal contracts, and 10 such ships in the Beaumont site. The Hattiesburg Victory is one of the few remaining Victory ships built during World War II to carry cargo needed by U.S. forces all over the world. Hattiesburg Victory was built during the last months of the war, served in a commercial fleet in the Hawaiian Islands immediately after World War II, and later served in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Hattiesburg Victory will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, Texas, at a cost to the federal government of $1,016,000. The Savannah is 1970-vintage ex-Navy oil replenishment (AOR4) ship, not to be confused with the nuclear-powered ship Savannah currently moored in Baltimore. The oiler Savannah, currently moored at the James River Reserve Fleet site, also will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, for $515,726

MarAd Moves Ahead on Ship Disposal
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) announced four new disposal contracts for obsolete ships in its National Defense Reserve Fleet.

Three of the ships will be dismantled in Brownsville, TX, and one in Chesapeake, VA. "Our ship disposal policy of 'worst first' has worked for us," said Deputy Maritime Administrator John Jamian

FRP Pumps Offer Lasting Results
There's hardly a marine application — onboard or ashore — where seawater pumps are not considered critical to a vessel's operation or purpose. The ability to pump seawater aboard most vessels represents only a part of their liquid pumping requirements; in many cases other liquids such as caustics, corrosives, and alkalis need to be transferred, either from ship to shore or vice versa.

I am brutally honest. Popular, love everything they read, reviewers are scared to go neg. and risk their ranking. It's your money!!!
"Takes an Open Mind"
I am a christian male who has been happily married for over 33 years. My wife still turns men's heads at 53. Throughout our marriage I have wondered why I have been attracted to other females, when I am so happy at home. Why do so many men married to super star women cheat on their wives (Brad Pitt, Tiger Woods, etc.)
This puts out the argument that we were not meant to be monogamous. Monogamy is unhealthy.
They also show evidence that moving from hunter gathers to an agricultural society is the cause of many of our ill's today. We were not kick out of The Garden of Eden, we were kicked into it.
I am not a bible scholar, but think about this: God wanted us to trust him fully. Perhaps the tree of knowledge was the knowledge on how to grow apples. We started growing crops and not depending upon God. To be healthy we need to eat a variety of foods. Cultivation has lead us to stay in one place and eat the same foods. This leads to vitamin deficiency. A book offered by this club that I have not read yet is called Wheat Belly, which is supposed to be about how wheat makes us fat. Was Cain's sacrifice to God not appreciated because it was grain? Cain and the apple tree are not mentioned in the book, they are what I thought of because this book makes you think, but you have to be open minded.
The book is very entertaining and reminded me several times of Jean Auel's series. She has taken grief sometimes because of her randy cave men. This shows that she may not have showed them as randy enough.
The book is very one sided and it has not convinced me to cheat on my wife or join a commune, but it is a different way to think about our society past and present and I always enjoy writings that challenge the norm. If you can not be open minded about your religion our belief system then you will hate this book. If you like to challenge your beliefs then this is food for thought.
"Excellent comparison of post + pre pastoral life"
Allyson Johnson is easy on the ear and seems to genuinely understand and agree with the content
"Reconsider what you think you know about love..."
I thought this book was fascinating and seems like it should be required reading for everyone that wants to have an adult relationship.
"Like an collection of college lectures"
There was a lot good, and a lot not so good, about this book. To summarize my main complaint with it, it's written like a bunch of college lectures from a semester or two that were thrown together. Each chapter is individually viable, but there's little that holds everything together, other than very loosely, and no really good or insightful conclusions or conjectures put forth from the other material in here.
That being said, some of the material, background research, and case studies are very good. It looks at the less-well-known side of various concepts (mainly the standard narrative of male/female monogamous relationships) and less often cited studies. So if you're looking for different perspectives on relationship and marriage and monogamy, there's a lot of good background material here.
So it has interesting material; it just doesn't hold well together as a cohesive writing. If you accept that going in, it's certainly not a bad read, and will make you think.
"Consider this"
Essential reading for anyone willing to consider the hard truth about why long-term monogamous relationships do not seem to work. Not jaded, in fact, celebratory and quite sex-positive, Sex at Dawn is a fun listen as well as enlightening. The narrators are fantastic on this version. My best Audible purchase to date.
"A World Changing View"
This is a work of significant importance. It deserves to be read, considered, discussed and and absorbed into one's view of life and love. I truly expect that society will be altered by this book. Maybe not this year or next, but over time these ideas and insights will gain momentum and a reassessment of how we live and interact and love and learn will result.
I think this is one of the most important books written in the last decade. I would stake a larger claim, but I am mindful the Guns, Germs and Steel was written around a decade ago. If you are a fan of Jared Diamond or Desmond Morris, then you must read this book.
"So good I went out and bought the hardcover too."
Everything I always thought and couldn't quite say at polite dinner parties! Brilliant and keeps your interest all the way through. One of the best non fiction I've read.
Warcraft Addict
"A great read, especially for the polyamorous."
I enjoyed this book immensely. It had a great sense of humor, and erased many of the preconceived notions about monogamy that I had been harboring for my entire life. It was a great read and would have gotten 5 stars if they were able to offer some conclusions about their findings.
"Listen to this wonderful 'story' - it is yours!"
Anybody at all interested in the Human Condition should listen to this erudite, interesting, entertaining and, at time humorous, look at the development of human sexuality. As an ardent reader, and listener, of and to popular science tracts I can honestly say that this is one of the most rewarding. The authors deal with the fundamental issue of modern sex, i.e. monogamy. They provide evidence that shows how difficult this particular way of life has been and is for us humans - despite having tried it for several thousand years. Providing a close look at our primate relatives throws a whole new perspective on where we are today. They discuss the beginning of agriculture and it's effect on the hunter/gatherer lifestyle which constituted the earliest being of our ancestors [evidence is provided]. It provides a different way of looking at the role of men and women, their relationships, and their problems in the modern world. Thought provoking in the extreme, this work will undoubtedly have an effect on the reader.
The narration, by Honor Harrington [sorry Allyson Johnson!], is, not to put to fine a point on it, SUPERB. She has just the right sense of humor, irony, and emphasis to increase the enjoyment of what is already a very good work indeed.

USC adds a 2014 verbal commitment
USC's 2013 recruits finished inking their letters of intent less than three weeks ago, but the Trojans have already secured their fourth non-binding verbal commitment for the class of 2014: defensive tackle Tashon Smallwood.
USC held its annual ''Junior Day'' on Sunday for prospects who will play their senior season of high school football this fall. The coaching staff offered a handful of scholarships, and Smallwood announced his commitment on his Twitter account Sunday night.
Smallwood, listed at either 6-foot or 6-1, and either 274 or 285 pounds, attends Central High in Fresno.
Last summer, USC got commitments from three offensive linemen: Toa Lobendahn of La Habra High, Jordan Poland of La Jolla Country Day School and Casey Tucker of Hamilton High in Chandler, Ariz.
USC has 20 scholarships to offer for the class of 2014.

iPad3 VS Calibrated Macbook screen
Oct 17, 2012
Dear all, please allow me to ask the following.
I have a rather old Macbook unibody 13" dating back, end of 2008 which i use to process my photos. Its screen is calibrated using a Spyder 3 calibrator.
When i process the images and transfer them to my iPad 3 however, the images look more "alive" due to the retina display but also, the color shifts towards a cooler tone.
So which display is reproducing the most accurate color? From a recent online article i learned that iPad3 reproduces correct sRGB colors but even so, the colours differ with my calibrated macbook screen.
So which device is showing the correct colors?

Deep Throats tag line asked, How far does a girl have to go to untangle her tingle? Pretty far, as it happens. This mob-financed flick about unusual clitoral stimulation earned hundreds of millions of dollars and numerous obscenity trials. David Bertolinos new play, The Deep Throat Sex Scandal, examines the ground-breaking, conservative-baiting 1972 film and the money, fame, and court battles that it generated. Its characters include Linda Lovelace, Harry Reems, and Alan Dershowitz.

CHICAGO and LONDON, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As business and political leaders convene to discuss global challenges at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, there is a greater appreciation for the importance of real estate in reshaping cities and, therefore, the world's commercial geography. According to research by Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL), with real estate investment levels reaching a new high of an estimated ten dollars chasing each dollar of prime assets, real estate is no longer considered a consequence of city success, but is now actively employed to drive it. A look at the 30 cities worldwide where 50 percent of the US$4.6 trillion in direct commercial real estate investments has been concentrated over the past decade highlights real estate's impact on the strength of super and primary cities and the growth of second-tier cities.
According to Colin Dyer, CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle: "Investors are allocating more capital to real estate today but focusing on a specific set of cities globally. This has created an increase in demand for the limited stock of prime properties in super cities, the world's most attractive real estate markets. As a result, investors are moving along the risk curve into second-tier markets, which are becoming more conscious of how real estate can make them more attractive to investors. The most successful markets share characteristics like transparency, good governance, strong education systems and innovative city planning. The 'push-pull' effect is strengthening super cities and boosting investment prospects for second-tier cities."
Recent research from Jones Lang LaSalle identifies the connections between cities of different sizes and rankings and how the investment market responds to the underlying momentum that each is creating. These newly revealed patterns and perspectives on performance bring more attention to the need for cities to consider real estate as a core performance driver.
- Cross border capital investment is boosting demand in the super cities such as London, Paris and New York, supported by the continuing flood of Chinese, Korean, Malaysian and Canadian money (amongst others) and helping consolidate their attraction.
- But with 50 percent of the US$4.6 trillion in direct commercial real estate investments over the past decade having been concentrated in 30 cities worldwide, there are signs of change. Investment patterns are shifting partly due to the shortage of available product in the super and primary cities and partly to the dynamism in second-tier cities.
- Mid-size cities with innovative urban strategies, good governance and sound education bases are gaining momentum by using well designed, accessible, flexible real estate to attract and retain growth sectors such as tech, healthcare and bio that will underpin future economic success.
- While corporates remain focused on containing costs in their existing real estate portfolios, they are migrating to second tier cities and expanding to new geographies to meet business demands and to take advantage of skills and new market opportunities. This is further encouraging real estate investors up the risk curve as they chase corporates into new geographies.
- Super cities are the largest, most internationally connected cities with very deep corporate bases and high levels of real estate liquidity. The four super cities (London, Paris, New York and Tokyo) account for nearly one-fifth of global direct commercial real estate investment activity.
- Primary cities have high levels of international connectivity and significant concentrations of global business services.
- Second-tier cities are mature cities with lower levels of international business activity than the other categories.

Minneapolis lawyer Clark Griffith said Friday that he and other investors "are poised" to offer $86M in cash to buy the Twins, according to Jay Weiner of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE. Griffith, whose group includes his father, former Twins Owner Calvin Griffith, as well as publisher Vance Opperman and St. Paul Saints President Mike Veeck, among others, characterized his bid as a $134M total offer because it would include the assumption of $48M in "certain liabilities." However, Weiner wrote that "it appears" that the offer "won't get a serious look" from Twins Owner Carl Pohlad and his family. Pohlad's son, Bob Pohlad: "We've got the agreement with [NC business exec Don] Beaver" (STAR TRIBUNE, 11/22). Columnist Sid Hartman: "Pohlad won't sell the team to Clark Griffith. There isn't any love lost between Pohlad and the Griffith family" (STAR TRIBUNE, 11/23). Twins execs predict "at least" a $3M increase in operating losses for the '98 season in MN should the team agree to move to NC in '99. The team estimates it lost an estimated $8-10M in '97 (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 11/24).

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

This site is a hijack of 1channel.ch it directs you to download an hd player. do not comply. this download is firstly, unnecessary and secondly, it likely carries virus, malware, or rootkit. always look up at the top of your browser to see where you have actually landed on the internet. good luck and kind regards
Vodly provides a platform for exploits. it regularly hijacks. it hijacked the site formerly known as 1 channel and then known as letmewatchthis. as of today it hijacked primewire. primewire was the new site that letmewatchthis owners put up.
do not linger on the vodly website
primewire.ag as of this day, 23 August 2013 00:30 hours GMT is the legitimate website, however it may be hijacked at any time. proceed with caution.
Kind regards
This website is classified as a phishing website.
It is associated with attempts to acquire sensitive information such as user names,
passwords and credit card
details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity.
You should not enter confidential information on this website.
Kaspersky blocks entry to the site with a message indicating that the site is virus-infected. If you don't have Kaspersky, that warning may not exist and you may find yourself dealing with some pretty nasty malware.
In any case this would be an adult site and definitely not suitable for children, so who exactly the comedians are who marked it as children friendly ....

This is a hijacked/clone site of primewire.ag (formerly letmewatchthis.ch), This one has a lot more popups, malware ads and "surveys", plus most of the original site's functions (forums, etc.) don't even work.
As soon as I go to the site, a second pop-up forces it's way up and directs me to a supposed video site which is instantly red flagged by my browser.Despite having used this site as long as I have, I must now report this incident, and stop visiting it.If you don't have these experiences, good for you, but it's not for me.
This site used to be a great place to watch favorite shows and movies. Not anymore.
It is totally screwed up.
Wish I could locate another site for missed TV shows.....
Illegal movie streaming site that is littered with adware
Everyone keeps saying that Primewire is the legit version of this site. But every time I use Primewire click on a link and bam I get a virus. Using this one with good security Add Blocks and No Script everything works fine I have not picked up a virus in forever. This site is a good site if you own the DvD and just want everything transferred to computer for easy viewing. Not saying I support Piracy but if you own it you have every right to a back up.
