Lately, I've been feeling a little nostalgic about what I call the "golden age" of consumer software innovation in the late '80s and early '90s. Back then I was cutting my teeth at a medium-sized Mac software publisher called Silicon Beach Software that had a few early successes and that also saw a fair number of applications plied by smaller developers wanting Silicon Beach to publish their software.
As a product manager, I recall my excitement at the number of cool software applications that were hitting the scene, be they commercial, shareware, or freeware. Innovation was happening everywhere around us as both big companies and one-man shops were looking at their crystal balls trying to figure out what the next "killer app" would be. Anyone remember PageMaker, SuperPaint, MORE, QuickKeys, HyperCard, Morph, or Printshop? And who could forget that adorable sage, the Talking Moose?
Just when I'm lamenting that the "good ol' days" are gone, I look around and realize that, if anything, the pace of software innovation has gone stratospheric. The open source community - fueled by online collaboration, advancements in development tools, and open standards - is out-innovating and surely outproducing even that beloved golden age, driving desktop Linux adoption forward.
You can't read a tech magazine or RSS feed today without seeing a discussion of the strides that the open source software (OSS) movement is making or its potential to reshape the computing landscape. Much of the OSS buzz comes from highly visible projects like Firefox (www.getfirefox.com), GIMP (http://gimp.org), and SugarCRM (http://sugarcrm.com), which have done so much more than provide great alternative software choices; they've opened people's eyes to the kinds of quality software that can be developed communally.
A glance at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net), a large repository of open source software projects, recently showed more than 100,000 collaborative projects underway. That's an incredible number, and a testament to the Internet's power to support sustained communication between a like-minded community of people.
Besides the OSS ecosystem fueled by the Internet, innovation is being stoked by new and better development tools arriving on the scene. Tools like Kdevelop (http://kdevelop.org) are popular, as are commercial environments like Sun's Java Studio (http://sun.com/javastudio), Real Software's REALbasic (http://realsoftware.com), and Revelation's OpenInsight for Linux (http://revelation.com).
Innovation is also sped along by a communal vibe that application data types really should be based on open standards because it's the right thing to do. Despite differences in GUI or feature sets, data can and should be shared effortlessly between platforms.
Who gains from all this innovation? At the end of the day, we as computer users gain the most. We get more choices and a larger stable of innovative, nicely polished software applications that ultimately are critical to the widespread adoption of desktop Linux. In fact, after more than three years of running desktop Linux, I can say I'm totally satisfied except for one thing: I miss my old buddy the Talking Moose.

complete order very convenient recommended esp if you have young children
Great fresh products. Will definitely use again in the future :)
We were going to Disney World for our family vacation and we needed some groceries. I saw an advertisement in a Disney planning guide. I placed our order several weeks before I left Reno and when I arrived to our Hotel in Florida, all of our groceries were waiting for us. The cold items were put in the cooler, the bread or other soft items weren't smashed, all items were accounted for. The prices were very reasonable.I really was surprised. Garden Grocer help to start off our vacation great! Thank you, Brooks.

She called it, simply, the worst moment of her life.
It came in March 1982 during the days before the Falklands War, after Argentina established an unauthorised presence on Britain's South Georgia island amid talk of a possible invasion of the Falklands, long held by Britain.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher realised there was little that Britain could do immediately to establish firm control of the contested islands, and feared Britain would be seen as a paper tiger that could no longer defend even its diminished empire.
She was told that Britain might not be able to take the islands back, even if she took the risky decision to send a substantial armada to the frigid South Atlantic.
"You can imagine that turned a knife in my heart," Thatcher told an inquiry board in postwar testimony that has been kept secret until its release by the National Archives on Friday, 30 years after the events it chronicles.
"No one could tell me whether we could re-take the Falklands - no one," she told the inquiry board. "We did not know - we did not know."
The assessment is more downbeat than the view offered in Thatcher's memoir, The Downing Street Years.
Thatcher's handling of the Falklands crisis is remembered as one of the key tests of her leadership. The former prime minister, now 87, has been hospitalised since having a growth removed from her gall bladder shortly before Christmas. She has stayed out of the public eye in recent years because of worsening health problems.
Argentina did invade on April 2, and Thatcher launched a naval task force to take back the islands three days later, after the United Nations condemned the invasion. Britain succeeded by mid-June. The war claimed the lives of 649 Argentines and 255 British soldiers, along with three elderly islanders.
Thatcher testified she had been terrified that by sending the seaborne force which would take weeks to reach the Falklands (known as Las Malvinas in Spanish) she would provoke even more aggressive action by the Argentines while the vessels were in transit. She feared this might make the military operation even more hazardous when they arrived.
She persisted in the bold mission despite the risk of an Argentine troop buildup that might force her to turn the armada back, a result that she said "would have been the greatest humiliation for Britain."
She doesn't state the obvious political cost: The mission's failure would have cut short the career of Britain's first female prime minister with her almost inevitable ouster as party leader.
The vivid picture of Thatcher's feelings of helplessness and rage - and eventual resolve - are portrayed in thousands of pages of formerly Secret documents released by the National Archives.
Historian Chris Collins of the Thatcher Foundation - which plans to make the documents available online - said Thatcher's testimony before the inquiry chaired by Oliver Franks was "very carefully prepared" because she felt politically vulnerable.
"She was concerned at the damage the report might do her, because there was much potential for embarrassment at the government's pre-war policy of trying to negotiate a settlement with Argentina ceding sovereignty while leasing back the islands for a period, plus suggestions that Argentine intentions could have been predicted and invasion prevented," he said.
She concedes to the committee that her political analysis was incorrect because she believed Argentina's junta would not invade, as it was making progress at the United Nations in its effort to build diplomatic support for its claim to the disputed islands. She said she thought the junta wouldn't risk this support with unilateral military action.
"I never, never expected the Argentines to invade the Falklands head-on," she told the inquiry board, which was investigating, among other things, whether the government should have been better prepared. "It was such a stupid thing to do, as events happened, such a stupid thing even to contemplate doing. They were doing well."
The papers detail how Thatcher urgently sought US President Ronald Reagan's support when Argentina's intentions became clear, and reveal Thatcher's exasperation with Reagan when he suggested that Britain negotiate rather than demand total Argentinian withdrawal.
The documents describe an unusual late night phone call from Reagan to Thatcher on May 31, 1982 - while British forces were beginning the battle for control of the Falklands capital - in which the president pressed the prime minister to consider putting the islands in the hands of international peacekeepers rather than press for a total Argentinian surrender.
Reagan's considerable personal charm failed on this occasion.
Thatcher, in full "Iron Lady" mode, told the president she was sure he would take the same dim view of international mediation if Alaska had been taken by a foe.
"The Prime Minister stressed that Britain had not lost precious lives in battle and sent an enormous Task Force to hand over the Queen's Islands (the Falklands) immediately to a contact group," says the memo produced the next morning by Thatcher's private secretary. She told the president there was "no alternative" to surrender and re-establishment of full British control.
The newly public documents also reveal an extraordinary draft telegram written several days later by Thatcher to Argentinian leader Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri in which she describes in very personal terms the death and destruction both leaders would grapple with in the coming days unless Argentina backed down.
She tells her counterpart that the decisive battle is about to begin, imploring him to begin a full withdrawal to avoid more bloodshed.
"With your military experience you must be in no doubt as to the outcome. In a few days the British flag will once again be flying over Port Stanley. In a few days also your eyes and mine will be reading the casualty lists. On my side, grief will be tempered by the knowledge that these men died for freedom, justice, and the rule of law. And on your side? Only you can answer the question."
The telegram was never sent, and Galtieri resigned in disgrace several days after Britain reclaimed the islands.

Prandelli confirmed as Galatasaray boss
07 July 2014 [17:10] -
Cesare Prandelli has been confirmed as Galatasaray's new coach nearly two weeks after he stepped down as Italy boss following the Azzurri's World Cup failure in Brazil.
The Turkish giants revealed the news on their website on Monday, stating that the 56-year-old will replace compatriot Roberto Mancini on a two-year deal.
Prandelli will arrive in Turkey on Monday evening before signing his contract and visiting the club's training base to meet the players on Tuesday.
Galatasaray had been in talks with Prandelli after the 56-year-old resigned from the Italy job when the Azzurri were eliminated from the competition, having failed to get out of their group.
Prandelli will replace Mancini at the Turk Telekom Arena following his departure from the post by mutual consent in June after just nine months in charge.
Mancini led the club to a second-place finish in their domestic league, and to the last 16 of the Champions League.
Galatasaray sporting director, Tomas Ujfalusi, recently admitted that Prandelli's knowledge and experience within Italian football would be important in helping him build on the work that Mancini did while at the club.
"When Mancini did not want to continue, I wanted to bring in Cesare," Ujfalusi was quoted as telling Gazetta dello Sport.
"In Florence he coached me and thanks to him I grew so much. At the World Cup he was unfortunate, but he had a great four years."
He added: "The Italian schooling can also help Turkish football. Roberto has worked so hard on tactics and did improve the team."

Comfort Zone?
By I Run on Insulin on August 25, 2014
BlogHer Network
I meet a lot of patients in my day job, and I'm used to everyone having a different way of managing their diabetes, with individualized targets and goals. This is often reflected when speaking with patients about where they set their low and high thresholds on their CGMs (the thresholds are the low and high numbers that the device will alert them at, meaning that's the number they want to "take action" at). Patients feel lows and highs at different numbers, and they also have different management goals that make customizing those alerts an important part of using a CGM effectively. . . .

It's National Donate Life Month, Yo!
Courtesy Donate Life Texas Hey baby, want some of my organ....?
That's the good news. But here's the bad: "More than 120,000 men, women and children across the United States are waiting for a lifesaving transplant and nearly 12,000 of those are from Texas." Bottom line: "Each day, 18 people die because the organ they needed was not donated in time."
To commemorate National Donate Life Month, Done Life Texas is encouraging people to register as donors.
"Donation saves lives and restores families every day, but it can only happen when someone makes the important decision to register as an organ, eye, and tissue donor," Donate Life Texas' Kevin Meyer stated in a press release. "You can offer hope to those waiting for a second chance."

To register, you can visit Donate Life Texas' website; or you can do it in person at any Texas Department of Public Safety office when obtaining or renewing your license, or any Texas Department of Motor Vehicles location when renewing your registration.
According to the press release, the Donate Life Texas registry "is the nation's fastest growing, and one of only two in the nation that has registered more than 150,000 people in a single month."
There's really no reason not to register. Heck, even terrible human being/double-murderer Gary Gilmore requested that his organs be donated upon his execution by a Utah firing squad. A couple people got his corneas, and the Adverts got a kick-ass song.
To us, the opportunity to save a life is mind-blowing. We hope others who haven't yet registered feel the same way and sign up this month to be able to give the best gift they could possibly give.

Nepal wants climbers to keep their woollies on
KATMANDU, Nepal – Attention climbers: Please keep your clothes on while climbing Mount Everest.
Nepal's mountaineering authorities are calling for a ban on nudity and attempts to set obscene records on the world's highest mountain, officials said Wednesday.
Last year, a Nepali climber claimed the world's highest display of nudity when he disrobed for several minutes while standing on the 29,035-foot summit with the temperature about 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
"There should be strict regulations to discourage such attempts by climbers," said Ang Tshering, president of Nepal Mountaineering Association.
The people who live on the Everest foothills worship the mountain as a god, and mountaineering authorities have asked the government to ban disrespectful stunts on Everest.
Saving for the future
sponsored According to two 2015 surveys, 62 percent of Americans do not have enough savings to handle an unexpected emergency, much less any long-term plans.

Philip Reid Montgomery Sr. 1936 - 2013 Lawrence
Philip Reid Montgomery Sr., 77, died at his home in Lawrence, KS on July 6, 2013. Phil was born in Grand Rapids, MI on May 11, 1936, the son of Reid and Roberta (Shipley) Montgomery.
Phil earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Akron (OH) and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. He was a math professor at the University of Kansas from 1964 until his retirement in 2003. During that tenure, he participated in an exchange program (1964-1967) with Universidád de Oriente (Venezuela) and oversaw the Junior Year Abroad students (1977) at Universidad de Costa Rica.
In addition to teaching, Phil was one of the founding members of the Mad Dogs& Englishmen, a group of noontime runners at KU. Phil remained active in local and university track events, and was recognized for his work at the Kansas Relays. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church since 1964, serving as an Elder and as a member of the church's bell ringing choir. He also performed numerous other volunteer activities with community organizations over his lifetime.
Phil was confined to a wheelchair during the last 19 years of his life, after surviving cancer. Despite his condition, he was determined to live as independently as possible. Several individuals assisted him in this effort. He wished to recognize the care and devotion of his former wife Nancy Colyer, the late Stan Kern, Melissa McCauley, the staff at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, A Helping Hand home health providers, Visiting Nurses of Douglas County and, in the last days of his life, Grace Hospice.
Phil is survived by his sisters, Margaret Stark and her husband Richard of Amherst, OH and Linda Spiker and her husband Duane of Pittsburgh, PA; his three children, Philip, Jr. of La Grange, IL, Meg Kilday of Livermore, CA, and Cindy Sullivan and her husband Paul of Maynard, MA; two stepdaughters, Melissa McCauley of Lawrence, KS and Catherine Colyer of Columbia, MO; twelve grandchildren;and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his former wife Margaret (Mei Mei) Montgomery, and his brother Robert Montgomery.
A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence, 2415 W Clinton Parkway, on Saturday, July 20, 2013, at 4:00 p.m.

The present invention relates generally to satellite communications systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a system and method for receiving satellite and VHF/UHF transmission through one coaxial cable from a single reception device.
Generally, in digital satellite communications systems, a ground-based transmitter beams a forward error coded uplink signal to a satellite positioned in a geosynchronous orbit. The satellite relays the signal back to a ground-based receiver antenna in a separate location. Direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") systems allow households to receive television, audio, data and video directly from the DBS satellite. Each household subscribing to the system receives the broadcast signals through a satellite dish antenna and a receiver unit.
In the typical DBS system, the satellite receiver antenna includes an 18-inch parabolic dish, and the receiver unit is a television set-top decoder module, or "IRD". The satellite receiver antenna is mounted outside the house, and a coaxial cable is provided to link the satellite receiver antenna to the indoor IRD and television.
Presently available DBS systems do not transmit the subscriber's local television stations. Thus, each household subscribing to a DBS system needs a separate VHF/UHF antenna with a separate coaxial cable in order to receive local channels, including local news. The IRD usually has multiple coaxial inputs to allow a user to switch the television display from one coaxial input to another, like from the satellite signal to the VHF/UHF signal. However, the required extra antenna takes up space, is unsightly, adds additional costs, and adds wind drag when mounted onto the satellite receiver antenna.
Therefore, there is a need for a system and method for providing one antenna for receiving both satellite and VHF/UHF signals, transmitting both signals on a single coaxial cable and splitting the signals in the IRD so that a user may select which signal to televise.
The present invention provides a system and method for receiving satellite signals and VHF/UHF signals on the same device at a satellite receiver station. The system comprises a satellite antenna having a dish, a feedhorn support and an output signal. A VHF/UHF antenna is embedded in the satellite antenna. The satellite dish and feedhorn support receive the satellite signal, and the embedded VHF/UHF antenna receives the VHF/UHF signal.
In another aspect of the invention, a system and method for combining VHF/UHF signals and satellite signals received at a satellite receiver station is provided. The satellite antenna has a satellite output signal, and the VHF/UHF antenna has a VHF/UHF output signal. A device is provided for combining the satellite output signal and the VHF/UHF signal, and a cable is provided for forwarding the combined signal to downstream components.
In another aspect of the invention, a system and method for receiving and using a combined VHF/UHF and satellite signal at a receiver unit of a satellite receiver station is provided. A cable carrying the combined signal is connected to the receiver. Within the receiver is a splitting device which operatively connects to the cable. The splitting device has at least two outputs. One output is connected to a satellite signal tuner which is, in turn, connected to a switch, and the second output is also operatively connected to the switch. The combined signal is split into a VHF/UHF signal and a satellite signal. The receiver outputs either the VHF/UHF signal or the satellite signal based on the switch setting.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. The invention, together with further objects and attendant advantages, will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description in conjunction with the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a direct-to-home DBS satellite television system and a conventional local television broadcast system. The illustrated system incorporates a satellite-VHF/UHF receiver antenna embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a ground based subscriber station with a more detailed illustration of the combined satellite-VHF/UHF antenna shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic of the ground based subscriber station of FIG. 2.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, a digital DBS system and local television broadcast system 12 of the present invention is shown. The DBS system preferably includes a ground-based broadcast transmitter 13, a space segment 14 that includes a satellite 15, and a ground-based subscriber receiving station 16. In an exemplary DBS system, the satellite 15 is a geosynchronous satellite, such as the Hughes� H HS-601™ spacecraft, positioned at a geosynchronous orbital location at approximately 101� W longitude. The home subscriber receiving station 16 includes an outdoor satellite-VHF/UHF receiver antenna 20 connected to an indoor integrated receiver/decoder ("IRD") (not shown) via a cable (also not shown).
The broadcast transmitter 13 receives digitally modulated television or audio signals and beams them at 17.3-17.8 GHz to the satellite 15. The satellite 15 translates the signals to 12.2-12.7 Ghz, then beams them to the receiver antenna 20 of the receiving station 16 for subsequent demodulation. The satellite 15 transmits downlink signals via on-board transponders 17 operating at a power level of 120 to 240 watts. For a typical DBS system, the air uplink to the satellite has a 24 Mhz band rate, a 20 M symbols forward/Sec Symbol rate, and a 40 Mbps total bit rate.
The local television broadcast system includes a local broadcast transmitter 19 and a receiver antenna 20. The local broadcast transmitter transmits a signal using the NTSC system capable of display by television sets (not shown). Television broadcast VHF signals are transmitted in the 54 to 216 MHz range (leaving a gap from 88 to 174 MHz for standard FM band broadcasts and another gap at 72 to 76 MHz). Each VHF channel is given a 6 MHz bandwidth. Television broadcast UHF signals are transmitted in the 470 to 806 MHz range. Each UHF channel is also typically given a 6 MHz bandwidth.
Referring to FIG. 2, a ground-based subscriber receiving station 16 is shown. The receiving station 16 includes an outdoor satellite-VHF/UHF receiver antenna 20, a circuitry box 22, a cable 24, a receiver unit 26 and a television 28.
The receiver antenna 20 has a satellite antenna, generally shown at 30, and a VHF/UHF antenna, generally shown at 32. The satellite antenna 30 includes a parabolic dish 34, a feedhorn 35, a Low-Noise Block ("LNB") 36 and a feedhorn support 38. The dish 34 and the support 38 are preferably made out of an RF transparent material. Fiberglass is the preferred material, but other materials such as resins may be used. Fiberglass is RF transparent and reflects satellite signals, therefore it is an effective material to use for the dish 34. Alternatively, the dish 34 may be made out of graphite or other non-RF transparent materials. The dish 34 is then coated, either entirely or just a portion, with an RF transparent material.
The parabolic dish 34 receives satellite signals and focuses those signals by reflecting them to the feedhorn 35. The feedhorn 35 is a waveguide positioned at the focal point of the dish 34 to receive the reflected focused signals and is well known in the art. The feedhorn 35 directs the concentrated signals to a probe (not shown) which responds to the focused signals by producing a small electrical signal. Preferably, the feedhorn 35 has a generally circular cross-section for receiving DBS system circularly polarized signals. The LNB 36 receives the signals from the feedhorn probe. The LNB 36 amplifies and down converts the signals to a 1 GHz general range, and transmits the satellite signals via circuit box 22 and cable 24 to the receiver unit 26.
The cable 24 is preferably an RG-6 coaxial cable, but other cables may be used. The cable 24 typically runs from the receiver antenna 20 through the wall of a structure, generally shown at 40. The IRD 26 is located inside the structure.
The receiver antenna 20 also has a VHF/UHF antenna 32. Within the support 38 is a first element 42 of the VHF/UHF antenna 32. A second element 44 of the VHF/UHF antenna 32 is embedded on the dish 34. The VHF/UHF antenna is preferably made of metal for reception of VHF/UHF signals, as known in the art. First element 42 in the support 38 is preferably completely covered by the support 38, so that it does not add any wind drag to the receiver antenna 20. However, a portion of element 42 may extend beyond the surface of the support 38 while still being embedded in the support 38. Second element 44 embedded within the dish 34 is also preferably entirely within the dish. However, element 44 may extend past the surface of the dish 34 while a portion of element 44 is embedded in the dish 34. Where a non-RF transparent dish 34 is used, the second element 44 is embedded in the coating of RF transparent materials on dish 34. The coating may create a ridge or other structure sufficient to hold second element 44 away from the non-RF transparent materials to allow proper reception by the second element 44. An entire element 42 or 44 may be outside satellite antenna 32, as long as at least a portion of element 42 or 44 is embedded within satellite antenna 32. Preferably, element 44 does not distort the parabolic surface of dish 34 that reflects the satellite signals to the LNB 36. Further, the VHF/UHF antenna 32 may be embedded within any RF transparent material used on receiver antenna 20. Further, the VHF/UHF antenna 32 may be embedded along the surface of any RF transparent component of the receiver antenna 20.
Referring to FIG. 3, the satellite signal received by satellite antenna 30 is transmitted to a circuit box 22 through an input 48. The VHF/UHF signal received by VHF/UHF antenna 32 is likewise transmitted to the circuit box 22 through an input 46. The circuit box 22 may be located anywhere along the cable 24. Preferably, the circuit box 22 is located on the receiver antenna 20 so that minimal noise is introduced before signal amplification and less cabling is required to get the two different signals to the circuit box 22. Within the circuit box 22, the VHF/UHF signal is fed to an amplifier 50, which amplifies the VHF/UHF signal to reduce noise effects. Likewise, the satellite signal is fed to an amplifier 52, which may be located either in the circuit box 22 or the LNB 36 as is known in the art. Power for the amplifiers may be provided by any external means, but preferably by connection to the cable 24 as discussed below.
The amplified VHF/UHF signal and the amplified satellite signal are then transmitted to a combining device 54. The combining device 54 is preferably a passive device, such as a diplexer. The combining device 54 must operate over a wide frequency range, preferably 40 MHz to 2,000 MHz. Such diplexers are available from "Channel Master" or "DSI." The diplexer maintains the frequency and time properties of the input signals. Multiple passive filters act to balance the signals in the diplexer. The combining device could comprise any other device capable of combining the two signals, like a modulator.
The combining device 54 outputs the combined signal onto cable 24. In particular, outer sheath 58 of cable 24 is grounded so that the entire signal carried within the cable 24 will be fully reflected, as is well known by a person skilled in the art. The combined signal is placed on the inner conductor 56 of cable 24 and transmitted on cable 24 to IRD or receiver 26.
Alternatively, the VHF/UHF signal may be combined with the satellite signal before the VHF/UHF signal is amplified. An amplifier capable of operating over a 40 MHz to 2,000 MHz range would amplify the combined signal.
The combined signal from the cable 24 is transmitted within the receiver unit 26 to a splitter 60. The splitter 60 is preferably a passive device and in particular a diplexer. This diplexer may be the same type of diplexer used in the combining device 54. The diplexer comprises multiple passive filters. The multiple outputs of the diplexer will each contain both of the differing frequency signals input into combining device 54. However, the splitter 60 may be any device capable of splitting the VHF/UHF signal from the satellite signal, such as a demodulator in the case of a modulated combined signal. The splitter 60 splits the signal into a VHF/UHF signal and a satellite signal. The VHF/UHF signal is transmitted on output 62 to switch 66. The splitter 60 transmits the satellite signal on output 64 to satellite tuner decoder 68. Satellite tuner decoder 68 is known by a person skilled in the art and is preferably the unit used by Thomson Consumer Electronics or RCA in their IRDs of their respective DBS satellite receiver stations. The tuner decoder 68 outputs a satellite signal capable of being displayed on television 28. That satellite signal is transmitted to switch 66. Depending on the setting of switch 66, the VHF/UHF signal is transmitted to the television 28, or the satellite signal is transmitted to the television 28. A user may operate switch 66 in any manner known in the art, including a switch on the receiver unit 26 or by infrared remote control for the receiver unit 26. In that manner, the user may select between viewing the transmissions from a local broadcast or the transmission from a satellite broadcast on television 28.
Preferably, within the receiver unit 26, a power source 70 is connected to inner conductor 56 of cable 24. The power source 70 may provide either a DC or an AC power signal. Preferably, the power source 70 provides DC power. The power source 70 also supplies a 13 or 17 volt polarity selection to the LNB 36 (not shown) for operation of the satellite antenna 30. The power source 70 also provides power to the amplifiers 50 and 52 for their operation. The power source 70 connects to the inner conductor 56 of the cable 24. At the circuit box 22, the inputs to amplifiers 50 and 52 are connected in parallel to the inner conductor 56. Any other devices needing power may also be connected in parallel to inner conductor 56. Parallel connection allows the 13/17 polarity voltage to be maintained for operation of the LNB 36. Due to the polarity selection voltage differential, the amplifiers 50 and 52 must be capable of a 13 to 17 volt range power inputs. Amplifiers 50 and 52 must also be capable of operation with the combined signal connected with the power inputs. The power is provided through the cable 24 which also carries the combined signal. If needed, a power input may have a filter for removing the combined signal. The power source 70 must be able to provide the wattage required to operate the amplifiers 50 and 52, and other circuitry in the LNB, such as the polarization selection and satellite signal downconverting circuitry.
If an AC signal is used, then the signal is preferably a 60 Hz signal. Preferably a filter would then be provided at the LNB 36 to remove the 60 Hz signal for proper operation of the satellite antenna 30.
Both a satellite signal and a VHF/UHF signal may be received at the receiver antenna 20. Both signals are then combined and transmitted over cable 24 to receiver unit 26. Receiver unit 26 also provides power on the same cable 24 from power source 70 to the amplifiers 50 and 52. The receiver unit 26 then splits the satellite and VHF/UHF signals. The satellite tuner decoder 68 then transforms the satellite signal so that it may be displayed by television 28. Through user selection of a switch 66, local stations or satellite broadcast stations may be viewed by a user in a system which requires only one connection to the receiver antenna 20.
Of course, it should be understood that a wide range of changes and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiment described above. For example, varying locations of the power source may be used. The system may be made integral with the receiver unit or may be sold as an addition. Thus, it is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting.
It is the following claims, including all equivalents, which are intended to define the scope of this invention.

Lady Gaga & Terry Richardson Are At It Again, Make A Movie
Everything's better when you're with your BFF right? Vacations, mundane errands, movie night. So, it makes quite a bit of sense that, following a slew of other collaborative projects, Lady Gaga has once again teamed up with Terry Richardson — this time on the big screen.
Like an extra little stocking stuffer for Gaga's little monsters, the songstress confirmed via Twitter yesterday morning that Richardson will be making a documentary about her life and the making of ARTPOP, her next album. If you're wondering what ARTPOP actually means, Gaga's Twitter description says it's "when POP sucks the tits of ART." Um, that clears things up.
While Richardson and his movie muse will be taking a no-holds-barred approach to this documentary, we've already learned that when it comes to this twosome, we shouldn't expect less than the unexpected. No word yet of the movie's release date but we're already wondering if this new film will be completely amazing or a bit too self-indulgent. Give us your predictions below in the comments. (Fashionista)

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 213 reviews
The hotel is across the river from the cathedral but has a great view of the river. The restaurant was very good and staff was friendly and helpful. Nice terrace bar with views of the city and river.
Great place! Everything is near by and the staff is really good.
Exellent Stay is rhe second time same hotel in Sevilla
perfect place .
The location is right across the river in the Triana neighborhood, looking over the river which is stunning in of itself. A rooftop bar with reasonable prices is located there (Level 5th). Service was OK, staff members kept to themselves. A small gym and jacuzzi were accessible to its guests. Although the Hotel claims free Wifi (an additional 9 euro for an upgrade in speed), the Wifi is very slow. Therefore, if you are visiting for business reasons, upgrading would be wise. Lastly, the breakfast buffet is an additional 14 euro - and that is way over priced for what you get. Otherwise, all in all, it "did its job/purpose" in providing a safe, comfortable stay while in Seville. I would recommend it, but maybe not the most suitable for families.
