The Jahwist, or Yahwist, often abbreviated J, is one of the hypothesized sources of the Pentateuch (Torah), together with the Deuteronomist, the Elohist and the Priestly source. It's probably the oldest of the four.[1] It gets its name from its characteristic use of the term Yahweh (German Jahwe, Hebrew YHWH) for God in the book of Genesis.[2]
During most of the 20th century the dominant belief among scholars was that the Torah had been composed by intertwining four originally separate and complete documents, of which the Jahwist was one—this was called the documentary hypothesis. In the last quarter of the 20th century the consensus over the documentary hypothesis unravelled, and although it still has supporters there are now many alternatives. These alternatives can be broadly divided between "fragmentary" and "supplementary" models (hypotheses). Fragmentary hypotheses, seen notably in the work of Rolf Rendtorff and Erhard Blum, see the Pentateuch as growing through the gradual accretion of material into larger and larger blocks before being joined together, first by a Deuteronomic writer ("Deuteronomic" means related to the Book of Deuteronomy, which was composed in the late 7th century BCE), and then by a Priestly writer (6th/5th century BCE), who also added his own material.[3] The "supplementary" approach is exemplified in the work of John Van Seters, who sees J (which he, unlike the "fragmentists", sees as a complete document) being composed in the 6th century BCE as an introduction to the Deuteronomistic history, the history of Israel that takes up the series of books from Joshua to Kings. The Priestly writers later added supplements to this (hence the term "supplementary") in a process that continued down to the end of the 4th century BCE.[4]
Modern scholars agree that separate sources underlie the Pentateuch, but there is much disagreement on how these sources were used by the authors to write the first five books of the bible.[5] The explanation called the documentary hypothesis dominated much of the 20th century, but the consensus surrounding this hypothesis has now broken down. Its contemporary upholders tend to do so in a strongly modified form, giving a much larger role to the redactors (editors), who are now seen as adding much material of their own rather than as simply passive combiners of documents.[6] Among those rejecting the documentary approach altogether, the most significant revisions have been to combine E with J as a single source, and to see the Priestly source as a series of editorial revisions to the Jahwist.[3]
In J, YHWH is an anthropomorphic figure, forming man from the dust with his own hands, fond of Edenic walks in the "cool of the evening," making clothes for Eve and Adam with animal pelts, enjoying the food Abram offers Him, speaking face-to-face with humans (as in the theophany on Mt. Sinai, Ex. 24:10–11). YHWH can sometimes be bargained with, as in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where Abram haggles with him over the fate of the cities. Similarly, during the exodus, YHWH, incensed by the Israelites' lack of faith, threatens to destroy them all and raise Moses' descendants instead, but "relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened" when dissuaded by Moses (Exodus 32:14).[7]
J has a particular fascination for traditions concerning Judah, including its relationship with its neighbour Edom. J also supports Judah against Israel, for example suggesting that Israel acquired Shechem (its capital city) by massacring the inhabitants. J supports the priests descended from Aaron, who were established in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah.[7]
J's YHWH is a warrior, as Exodus 15:3 declares. YHWH is not a benign God in heaven; he can be dangerous, as when he attempts to kill his newly chosen prophet Moses at the inn (see Zipporah at the inn), or arbitrary, preventing Moses from entering Canaan without giving reasons, or mischievous when he confuses mankind's language at Babel.[7]
Michael D. Coogan suggests three recurring themes in the Jahwist tradition: the relationship between humans and soil, separation between humans and God, and progressive human corruption:
Relationship between humans and soil[edit]
J is unique in emphasizing a close relationship between humans and soil. This motif is first found in Genesis 2:4b–3:24 when "the first human is called adam because he is taken from the soil."[8] Ground/Earth/Soil is adamah in Hebrew, so man is a derivative of the soil. Initially, man lives in harmony with the soil. After human's disobedience in the garden, however, the relationship is marred. In Genesis 3:17 the soil is cursed and man will toil in order to eat from it.[8] Humans may return to the state of harmony at death as described in Genesis 3:19. The motif is furthered in the story of Cain and Abel. After the murder, Cain is cursed from the ground Genesis 4:11. The bond between man and the soil is, seemingly, restored with Noah. He is described as a man of the soil and is described as the one who will bring relief from the toil of agriculture Genesis 5:29. Noah's drunkenness also alludes to the link between humans and the soil or plant/food the soil produces and corruption. In the end J repeatedly shows a connection between human corruption and the soil.[8]
The separation between the divine and human[edit]
One of the recurring themes of J in Genesis is the boundary between the divine and human realms. In Genesis 3:22, by eating the forbidden fruit, man and woman become like gods and are banished from the Garden of Eden, preventing them from retaining their immortality and full divinity. This theme is also seen in Genesis 6:1–4 in the sexual union of the sons of God with human women: Yahweh declares this a violation of the separation and limits the life span of their offspring.[8] Lastly, we see this theme in Genesis 11:1–9 in the story of the Tower of Babel in which Yahweh confuses mankind's language to prevent them from understanding each other and approaching divinity.[8]
Progressive human corruption[edit]
A third theme in the Jahwist is the increase of human corruption. God creates a world that is "very good", one in which all creatures are vegetarian and violence is unknown, but Eve's disobedience is followed by Cain's murder of his brother Abel, until Yahweh sees that the whole Earth is filled with corruption and resolves to destroy it with the Flood. Corruption does not cease after the Flood, but God accepts that his creation is flawed.[8]
Julius Wellhausen, the 19th century German scholar responsible for the classical form of the documentary hypothesis, did not attempt to date J more precisely than the monarchical period of Israel's history.[9] In 1938 Gerhard von Rad placed J at the court of Solomon, c. 950 BCE, and argued that his purpose in writing was to provide a theological justification for the unified state created by Solomon's father, David.[10] This was generally accepted until a crucial 1976 study by H.H. Schmid, Der sogenannte Jahwist ("The So-called Yahwist"), argued that J knew the prophetic books of the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, while the prophets did not know the traditions of the Torah, meaning J could not be earlier than the 7th century.[11] A number of current theories place J even later, in the exilic and/or post-exilic period (6th–5th centuries BCE).[12]
Other scholars, however, continue to argue against this view. Citing linguistic evidence from the development of biblical Hebrew and J's seemingly being aware of neither "the fall of the kingdom of Israel nor of the dispersion of the northern tribes", Richard Elliot Friedman and others argue that J was composed before the exile, and even prior to the Assyrian defeat of Israel in 722 B.C.E."[13]
The Jahwist begins with the creation story at Genesis 2:4 (the creation story at Genesis 1 is from P); this is followed by the Garden of Eden story, Cain and Abel, Cain's descendants (but Adam's descendants are from P), a Flood story (P has his own flood story and the two are tightly intertwined), Noah's descendants and the Tower of Babel.[14] These chapters make up the so-called Primeval History, the story of mankind prior to Abraham, and J and P provide roughly equal amounts of material. The Jahwist provides the bulk of the remainder of Genesis, the material concerning Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.[15]
J provides much, but not all, of chapters 1–18, which concern Israel's bondage in Egypt, the youth of Moses, and the Exodus itself. P makes some additions to the stories of the plagues of Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea, plus providing the story of the first Passover, the manna in the wilderness, and Sabbath observance. J provides all of chapters 19–24, concerning the appearance of God to Moses at Sinai and the giving of the Covenant Code. P provides chapters 25–31, the elaborate blueprints for the traveling tent-sanctuary, Exodus then switches back to J for the Golden Calf story, and P concludes with the account of the construction of the sanctuary.[16]
The vast majority of commentators attribute the entirety of Leviticus to P.[17]
J begins with chapters 10–14, the departure from Sinai, the story of the spies who are afraid of the giants in Canaan, and the refusal of the Israelites to enter the Promised Land—which then brings on the wrath of God, who condemns them to wander in the wilderness for the next forty years. J skips over chapter 15 and resumes at chapter 16, the story of the rebellion of Dathan and Abiram, which is combined, very badly, with a twin version from P. J provides chapters 21 to 24, covering the story of the bronze serpent, Balaam and his talking ass, and rebellion in Moab, finishing, after skipping some chapters provided by P, with the provision of land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Mannasseh.[18]
After the Torah[edit]
The J text continues on after the Torah with portions of Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings.[19][20]

Sunday, July 27, 2008 (AP) -- Carlos Sastre has won the Tour de France in one of the closest finishes in the 105-year-old race. He is the third Spaniard in a row to win cycling's premier event.
Sastre held his 65-second lead over Cadel Evans of Australia. The 21st and final stage was won by Gert Steegmans.
The 89-mile ride to the Champs-Elysees on Sunday was largely ceremonial because Sastre all but assured himself the victory a day earlier in the final time trial.
The 33-year-old Spanish rider is among the oldest men to win the Tour for a first time. It is his sixth top-10 finish in the race. As in the last two years, this year's Tour was plagued by doping. Three riders were ousted in drugs busts.

You can have groceries delivered through Amazon now. I don't know if they offer fully prepared meals.
Another food tip: A couple other great food delivery resources (for restaurants, not the type of food we're thinking of here) are eat24hours.com and grubhub.com. They're one stop shops for local restaurant delivery. We use them a lot when we don't want to cook. Eat24 has weekly discounts for the weekends if you are on the mailing list.

Greenling is a local/organic grocery delivery service here. You can set up an account and I believe you can get gift cards. Their prepared foods are very pricey, and still require a bit of assembly, but everything comes together and is pretty easy to put together. Check them out.
Also, another pricey service is Artizone - they are a delivery service of local artisan food places. Some prepared, some not. You can also do gift cards there.
Both places waive a delivery fee at $50 - I THINK. Don't quote me on that :)
I have used both and been very happy with them.

This invention relates generally to local networks in a vehicle and, more particularly, to efficiently transmitting data over a local network in a vehicle with several network subscribers distributed over the vehicle.
The implementation of a local network in a vehicle is well known. One conventional approach to using a local network in a vehicle is disclosed in German Patent Specification DE 195 03 213 C1. Typically, such local networks have several network nodes, referred to herein as subscribers. Some of the subscribers generate audio data, video data, and control data, and transmit the data over the network. Such subscribers are referred to herein as data sources. Other subscribers on the network receive data from the network and reproduce the data. Such data reproduction can be, for example, an acoustic or visual reproduction. These subscribers are referred to herein as data sinks.
Such conventional vehicle-hosted local networks have various equipment that serve as data sources. Examples of such equipment include, for example, a car radio, CD player, video recorder, TV tuner, etc. Such devices conduct their data uncompressed to appropriate data sinks via a data line of the network. The data sinks can be, for example, an audio amplifier to which several loudspeakers are connected, or a display screen which displays an uncompressed BAS video signal. Typically, the video and audio data are transmitted separately and concurrently. For example, a TV tuner data source transmits audio, video and control data over the local network. The video data are transmitted to a screen, in the manner described above, as uncompressed FBAS video signals. In parallel to this, the audio data are transmitted to an audio amplifier as uncompressed audio data and are reproduced as acoustic signals. Typically, the audio and video data are transmitted in a format that prescribes a clocked sequence of individual bit groups of the same length. In these bit groups, specific bit positions for transmission from the data source to the data sink are prescribed for the audio and video data, together referred to as real-time-relevant source data. Real-time-relevant source data are not accessible to an interruption of the data flow. Specific bit positions are also prescribed for the control data, if present. The bit positions for the source data are collected together in several connected partial picture groups, by means of which the specific audio and video data of a data source are transmitted in parallel to an associated data sink. This transmission is organized by control data that are transmitted in parallel with the audio and video data. The subscribers on such a network can input their data into the network or take their data from it independently of one another and sometimes simultaneously. Such a network can accommodate only a few subscribers, since the transmission capacity of the network over the data line is limited.
What is needed, therefore, is a local network for use in a vehicle that substantially utilizes the maximum transmission capacity while maintaining the quality of data display in the data sinks.
Briefly, according to an aspect of the invention, a vehicle-hosted local network is disclosed. The network includes a subscriber data source that transmits in parallel audio data and compressed video data to respective subscriber data sinks on the network.
In another aspect of the invention, a method for pre-processing a compressed signal generated by equipment for transmitting audio and video data over a local network implemented in a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes separating compressed audio and compressed video data contained in the compressed signal, and parallel processing the compressed audio data and the compressed video data such that time differences in the reproduction of correlated audio data and video data are minimized.
In a further aspect of the invention, a local network in a vehicle with several subscribers distributed over the vehicle is disclosed. The subscribers form data sources and data sinks which are connected with one another by a data line to transmit audio, video and control data. The audio, video, and control data are transmitted in a format which prescribes a clocked sequence of individual bit groups of the same length, in which certain bit positions are provided respectively for the audio, video, and control data. The bit positions for the audio or video data respectively are collected together in several connected component bit groups, and the data assigned to these component bit groups are assigned by transmitted control signals to a certain data source or data sink. Included in the network is a data source for compressed audio and video that includes a demultiplexer to separate the compressed audio and compressed video data contained in one compressed signal, a bit stream decoder to decode the compressed audio data, an audio buffer for intermediately storing the separated audio data, a bit rate converter to recode the compressed video data, a video buffer for intermediately storing the separated video data, a bus interface that inserts the delayed, decoded audio data and the delayed, recoded video data from the data source into their intended component bit groups, and a control unit that is connected to the audio buffer and the video buffer, and which specifies and controls the adjustable intermediate storage time of the buffers.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in light of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The sole FIGURE is a block diagram of a subscriber data source for transmitting over a local network implemented in a vehicle in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention is directed to a local network for use in a vehicle that includes a subscriber data source that transmits compressed audio and video data. The subscriber data source includes equipment that generates a compressed source signal that includes audio, video and, possibly, other types of data. In addition, the subscriber data source includes a circuit that pre-processes separately and in parallel the compressed, data components (audio, video, other) in the compressed source signal. The circuit has a demultiplexer that separates the compressed audio and compressed video data contained in the compressed source signal. The separated compressed audio and video data are processed separately. The compressed audio data are conducted to a bit stream decoder for decoding. The bit stream decoder converts the audio data into an uncompressed format such as for example a PCM format. An audio buffer for the intermediate storage of the separated audio data is associated with the bit stream decoder. The intermediate storage time of this audio buffer can be varied by appropriate control instructions. The compressed video data, separated previously from the audio data by the demultiplexer, are conducted for recoding to a bit rate converter, which accomplishes a data reduction of the video data. The scope of this reduction is performed in accordance with the resolution and size of the display in the data sink. In this way, it becomes possible that the extent of the compressed video data that is transmitted across the network is markedly reduced. Since the extent of reduction is based on the requirements of the data sink, the display quality of the video data is not adversely affected. A video buffer, whose intermediate storage time can be adjusted by a control instruction, is associated with this bit rate converter.
The intermediately stored, decoded audio data and the intermediately stored, recoded video data are conducted to a bus interface, which combines the data into component picture groups for parallel transmission over the local network to their respective data sink. The intermediate storage time of the buffers is controlled by a control unit in the pre-processing circuit in such a way that time differences in the reproduction of the correlated audio data and video data are reduced and, preferably, completely eliminated. Such time differences can occur, for example, due to a different length of time required to complete the processing operations performed in the bit stream decoder and in the bit rate converter. It is thus assured that the correct sound for a picture is transmitted at the proper time relative to the display. It thus becomes possible to improve the quality of the data transmitted from the data source for both the audio and video data in a mutually coordinated manner.
The specific design of the transmission of the data-reduced, compressed video data and the uncompressed audio data over the data line additionally achieves an advantageous compromise between the requirements of economy of the local network and its optimized transmission capacity. According to an aspect of the invention, the audio data are transmitted in an uncompressed form, thus providing an economical design for the data sink for audio data. However, in view of the very extensive quantities of video data, even in spite of data reduction, compressed transmission is chosen. As a result, the data sink for video data must be equipped with a corresponding decoder module. However, in view of the improved utilization of the data transmission capacity, this is compensated by the transmission of the compressed, reduced video signal.
In addition to the compressed audio data and video data, the data source equipment can also receive other compressed data or take such data from a data medium, such as, for example, a DVD (digital versatile disc) player. Such a DVD player can read, in its playback unit, the compressed signals stored on a DVD disc, and by a demultiplexer can divide these data into the components of compressed audio data, compressed video data, and compressed "other" data, and can conduct these to specific, separate processing units. In the manner described, the compressed audio data and the compressed video data are put into intermediate storage and are decoded or recoded respectively, while the other compressed data are conducted to a second bit rate converter for recoding, and furthermore these data are conducted along the data path to a data buffer for intermediate storage of these separated data. After the various types of data have been separately processed, they are all conducted to a bus interface, which inserts the various data into appropriate, separate component picture groups for transmission, via the data line, to their respective data sink. The data buffer is controlled by the control unit in correspondence with the audio buffer and the video buffer, and the variable intermediate storage time is thus specified. By specifying the intermediate storage time of the respective buffers, the time differences in the display of the data, which have resulted for the compressed audio, video, and other data along their path from the antenna or from the storage medium or from a feed line from the data source are at least partly compensated. Typical examples of other compressed data are information regarding the so-called subpictures, as these are known from the DVD. Through this triple division of the compressed signals, it is assured that all the various data are delayed in their time progress specifically and differently, for example in accordance with the respective processing time, so that the audio data, video data, and other data are displayed as simultaneously as possible, for example as subpictures in the individual data sinks.
It has proven advantageous to situate the buffers directly before the interface, that is after the bit rate converter or decoder. This assures that all time differences generated before the intermediate storage, especially the time differences formed in the decoder and the bit rate converters are at least partly compensated before the data are inserted into the component picture groups through the bus interface. This control is designed as a type of forward control, resulting in a very simple, secure, and economical controlled structure.
In addition, it is also possible to situate the buffers directly behind the demultiplexer and before the respectively associated bit stream decoder or bit rate converter. This assures that the various data can be transmitted completely or largely time-corrected already while the compressed data are further processed in the bit rate converter or the audio decoder. This design proves to be especially advantageous if the control unit controls not only the buffers but also the bit rate converters and the audio decoder in such a way that these are enabled to perform a possibly needed slight compensation of existing time differences. Such a compensation can be effected, for example in the case of data from a DVD player, by means of the so-called time stamps associated with the data.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, analytical units are situated in the pre-processing paths for the audio data, the video data, and the other data. These units provide the respective present relative delays resulting from the different processing or modification of the data in their individual paths, and interacting with the control unit the delay times in the individual buffers or in the bit rate converters or the bit stream decoders are set in accordance with the presently observed conditions. This makes it possible to react specifically to the most various situations. For example, if no sound or only a stationary picture or only simple numeric characters are being transmitted, the data quantities to be processed and transmitted change, so that different processing times for one and the same data type can occur. These changes are taken into account through the present design of the invention.
It has proven especially advantageous to design the network with an optical data line. With this design, the maximum data quantity that can be transmitted by the network is nearly independent of the theoretically maximum transmission capacity of the data line, since this capacity typically cannot be exhausted by a local network for an automotive application. Consequently, the limited data transmission capacity of the data line need not be taken into account.
The bit rate converter for the compressed video data preferably is connected to the control unit, and can be controlled in such a way that the scope of data reduction during the bit rate conversion can be adjusted based on the quantity of data that can be displayed by the data sink.
As the scope of data reduction varies, the processing time for the bit rate converter to perform the operations also varies. Depending on the resolution and/or the size of the display in the data sink and, thus, the display capabilities of the display, the required delay time of the individual data types is chosen accordingly. The transmission of the relevant information about the display in the data sink to the control unit via the local network data line enables the control unit to control the bit rate converter for the video data and/or the corresponding delay elements in such a way that the various data are displayed without significant time discrepancy.
According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one data sink for the data transmitted from the data source via the data line is equipped with a buffer for intermediate storage of the received data. The intermediate storage time of this buffer depends on a control signal that is transmitted from the data source via the local network data line. Thus, the time progress of the data can be corrected not only in the data source but also in the data sink. In this way, it is possible to correct systematic delays for data associated with a particular data sink by means of a buffer situated in this data sink. A correction in the data source or in another data sink is thus not necessary. Accordingly, systematic differences in the data sources can be corrected by such a buffer in the respective data sink.
A block diagram of an embodiment of the inventive data source is illustrated in the FIGURE. A local network has a plurality of subscribers connected to each other over an optical data line 1 to form a ring network. Each subscriber has a bus interface 2 with two connections to the optical data line 1. The subscriber illustrated in the FIGURE represents a data source, and is referred to herein as the subscriber data source 100. The subscriber data source 100 includes, in this exemplary embodiment, a DVD drive 3 that generates a compressed source signal on a line 22. The compressed signal on the line 22 includes a combination of audio data, video data, and other data stored on a DVD disc. The compressed audio, video and other data components are processed separately and provided to the bus interface 2 for transmission to the appropriate data sinks connected to the optical data line 1 that are associated with the subscriber data source 100. The compressed audio, video, and other data, which have been read out from the DVD drive 3, are presented as the compressed source signal on the line 22. These components of the compressed source signal are separated out of the compressed source signal in a demultiplexer 4 that is part of a pre-processing circuit 20. Each type of data is conducted to a specific processing path in the circuit 20 for separate, coordinated processing.
The compressed video data on a line 15, separated off by the demultiplexer 4, are conducted to a well-known analytical unit 5A configured to analyze video data as a multiple video packet-sized elementary stream. The analytical unit 5A analyzes the extent and type of compressed video data on the line 15 to be processed, and conducts the result of this analysis to a control unit 6. As one of ordinary skill in the art would find apparent, the compressed video data are not changed by the analytical unit 5A. Once analyzed, the compressed video data are conducted to a bit rate converter 10 that recodes the compressed video data from the source of the compressed signal, here, the DVD disc 3. In one application, the compressed video data are formatted in the bit rate converter 10 in accordance with the MPEG-2 video standard and have variable bit rates up to 10 megabit/s. During the recoding, a data reduction occurs, which is guided in accordance with the properties of the data sink and, in particular, to the size and resolution of the display in the data sink. The information regarding the size and resolution is conducted to a control unit 6 via a control line 13, and is converted into appropriate control instructions to control the bit rate converter 10. Since the MPEG-2 video data are designed for display on a large high-resolution screen, and since such high-resolution large screens find no application in a vehicle, the data reduction described above can discard the majority of the compressed video data by as much as 75%, with the remaining video data being transmitted to the appropriate data sink. It should be noted that this reduction in video data does not noticeably affect the display of the video data in the data sink. The recoded, data-reduced, compressed video data are then conducted to a video buffer 7 as packet-sized elementary streams. Under the control of the control unit 6, the video buffer 7 can change the intermediate storage time and thus the delay time. The delayed video data are then conducted to the bus interface 2. The bus interface 2 writes the video data into appropriate component picture groups for transmission to a corresponding data sink.
The pre-processing circuitry 20 processes compressed audio data in a manner similar to the compressed video data discussed above. The compressed audio data are conducted on a line 16 from the demultiplexer 4 to a corresponding audio data path in the circuit 20, which is constructed separately from the compressed video data path. The compressed audio data, like the video data, are conducted to an analytical unit 5B, which investigates the extent and type of the audio data. The analytical unit 5B conducts the result of its analysis operations by the control unit 6. The unchanged, compressed audio data, which are present in a DVD disk 3, for example in accordance with the Dolby digital compression process, are decoded by a bit stream decoder 11. The bit stream decoder 11 is preferably constructed as a Dolby digital decoder, and converts the compressed audio signals into uncompressed PCM signals, which make possible Surround Sound (5+1 channels). The uncompressed audio data are then conducted to an audio buffer 8. The audio buffer 8 is connected to and can be controlled by the control unit 6 in such a way that the intermediate storage time, and thus the delay time, of the uncompressed audio data can be changed.
In corresponding fashion, the compressed "other" data, which were previously separated by the demultiplexer 4 from the other data components in the compressed source signal on the line 22 are assigned to a data line 18 that is part of a data path that is separate from the video and audio data paths through the circuit 20. This data path correspondingly has an analytical unit 5C, another bit rate converter 12, and a data buffer 9. The components of the "other" data path have the corresponding functionalities as the components of the video and audio data paths.
From the three analytical units 5A-5C, the control unit 6 obtains information regarding the expected relative time delays resulting from the different processing times in the individual data paths. Based on this information, the respective delay times of the individual buffers 7, 8, 9 are chosen. Also, the bit rate converter 10 for the compressed video data and the Dolby digital decoder 11 for the compressed audio data, as well as the other bit rate converter 12 for the compressed other data, are driven by the control unit 6 in such a way that their processing occurs slightly later or earlier. A time correction is also performed by the time stamps contained in the compressed data. The time stamps themselves can also be read out from the bit stream, changed, and can again be inserted into the bit stream for a subsequent correction.
This inventive separation of the various data components and their concurrent yet specific processing, including the specific delay times dependent thereon, more closely harmonize the mutually correlated data. These are then transmitted via the bus interface 2 to the data line 1, and to the respective data sinks, that is other subscribers of the network, which are accommodated separately from the data source at another place in the vehicle. The inventive design with the correction of the time differences due to the different processing times of the various data types succeeds in displaying the correlated data largely or completely synchronously. This ensures that a tone reproduced by a sound system matches a picture reproduced on a display in the motor vehicle. This raises the level of the visual and acoustic reproduction quality of the local network with its subscribers. Furthermore, the transmission capacity of the network is used very efficiently, since, depending on the data type, compressed, data-reduced transmission forms and uncompressed data forms are transmitted simultaneously.
While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.

Bit of double accounting here. So what you mean is Arsehole Whinger won the league 3 times and the Cup 3 times (and that includes 2 doubles).So one more league win than Chelsea over the same time?And still the question is - so what?

Salman, Shraddha, Amitabh: Bollywood Celebrities Who Have Been Banned By The Media
At the launch party of Devil song from Kick last Friday, the camera persons reportedly requested Salman to pose at a particular spot, which the star refused to do. A face-off began between the star's security detail and the shutterbugs at 10.30pm and continued till 11pm. The rest is obviously history with Salman getting banned by the media, this isn't happening for the first time, many stars have been banned by the media and you can check out who those people are.
Salman Khan after the incident took to twitter and tweeted, "This is wat I call a stand, the photographers r gonna loose out on wrk, but hv still taken a decision not to take my pics, happy fr them." This aggravated the situation causing the Bombay News Photographers Association (BNPA) to issue an order to the photographers affiliated with the body to not click the actor's images at promotional or casual events.
Many stars feel the photographers should not huddle up like that and it was not Salman's fault that such a incident happened. Kangana Ranaut even quoted, "In my experience, the photographers sometimes show uncourteous behaviour. They even scare you with their screams and comments such as 'Aye, hat ja...'. They even push. I don't have bouncers or bodyguards. So it becomes a little bit uncomfortable that way. I wish they could display a little bit of gentleness and be nicer."
Actor Imran Khan too said, "Situations like these are always volatile. But I think a celebrity must take the onus upon themselves, and calm the situation. Your manager or security's voice may go unheard, and the chaos may continue, but if you interfere, you will be heard. Interacting with the photographers helps, and I personally do that." But the photographers have a different stance leading them to ban quite a few celebrities. Check out which Bollywood celebrity has been banned by the media.

Houdon and Clodion are among the greatest French sculptors of the late eighteenth century, as well as the creators of works featured in the Frick's special exhibition Enlightenment and Beauty. As students in Rome in the 1760s, both were schooled in Greek and Roman culture and studied vast collections of antiquities. Yet what they absorbed from their training and the paths they chose to follow were quite different. This lecture explores the sculptors' respective sources of inspiration and patronage. This lecture is made possible by the Robert H.
Anne L. Poulet, Director Emerita of The Frick Collection, introduces the current exhibition Enlightenment and Beauty: Sculptures by Houdon and Clodion, on view at the Frick until April 5, 2015. This video will be on view in the Music Room at the Frick during the run of the exhibition.
The Frick Collection celebrated the generosity and discerning taste of former Director Charles A. Ryskamp (1928–2010) with an exhibition of works on paper from his bequest. Dr. Ryskamp's generous gift transformed the museum's holdings in drawings, enlarging them by nearly a third, while complementing the permanent collection's focus on the landscape and figural subjects favored by Henry Clay Frick. The works were exhibited for the first time at the Frick in the Cabinet, a space created by Dr. Ryskamp during his tenure as Director from 1987 to 1997 and intended especially for the display of works on paper.
The Frick continued to add to its holdings, and the 1997 gift of a painting inspired a major 2006 exhibition on the artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702-1789). This presentation offerd the public a singular opportunity to become better acquainted with one of the most original and engaging artists of eighteenth-century Europe, who enjoyed an international reputation in his day, often painting portraits of monarchs and their children in London, Vienna, Parma, and Amsterdam.
The history of The Frick Collection by Anne Poulet, Director. In 2010, The Frick Collection celebrated its 75th Anniversary as a museum.
The Frick Collection exhibited a selection of Meissen porcelain from the collection of Henry Arnhold. One of the greatest private holdings of early Meissen assembled in the twentieth century, the collection was formed in two phases, the first in Dresden between 1926 and 1935 by Henry's parents, Lisa (née Mattersdorff; 1890–1972) and Heinrich (1885–1935) Arnhold ; the second, by Henry in New York between 1972 and 2006.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Here's the good news for the poor and hungry students: delicious food is available within a few miles from campus, and restaurants near the school are priced reasonably for college students. Downtown Greenville offers a variety of food choices at reasonable prices, as well, but not as cheap as the ones near campus. In a small town, there are a lot of restaurants to check out. Even though the food is cheap, students shouldn't worry about the quality of the food. Most restaurants value their customers, use fresh ingredients, and keep their kitchen clean. Local restaurants sometimes offer students special discounts or coupons. A calendar of events is distributed at the beginning of the school year, which is a brochure that contains information on school events, local business advertisements, and coupons. Getting to know local restaurant owners and servers is very easy, and it is a tip that makes off-campus dining more fun.
Being a vegetarian or a vegan is a little bit harder in the South, since most restaurants have meat-oriented main courses. Even though there are menus for vegetarians or vegans in a majority of the restaurants, the dishes are not as good as the rest of the menu.

In the empirical finance literature, findings on the risk-return tradeoff in excess stock market returns are ambiguous. In this study, I develop a new qualitative response (QR)-generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity-in-mean (GARCH-M) model combining a probit model for a binary business cycle indicator and a regime-switching GARCH-M model for excess stock market return with the business cycle indicator defining the regime. Estimation results show that there is statistically significant variation in the U.S. excess stock returns over the business cycle. However, consistent with the conditional intertemporal capital asset pricing model (ICAPM), there is a positive risk-return relationship between volatility and expected return independent of the state of the economy.

I was ill and did not get to review my VISA statements until recently. I realized that I was being billed $89.31 and then $89.61 and the listing of who was doing the billing changed at least 3 times and phone number changed at least twice between the billing cycles.
I called the most recent number. The man asked if I read the terms and agreements and I state "yes". He said that it specifically stated that I would be billed after 10 days. However that is what the website says now, not when I purchased the CD. The website opening page is totally different than when I went to it. I believe these charges to be fraudulent, but the "gentleman" on the other end of the phone did not agree with me. However he did finally cancel my registration.
I am currently filing paperwork with the Attorney General's office in West Virginia and then I am calling my VISA card company to see what they can offer me.

Product Description
In 1495 Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned to paint the Last Supper, which took four years to complete. Wanting the painting to be extraordinarily brilliant, Leonardo experimented with an egg-based tempera instead of a traditional fresco technique. Sadly, the tempera degraded almost immediately, and much detail was lost forever. Restoration efforts continue to the present day. The Last Supper is considered one of the master works of human history.

By Erin Murray, Army Flier Staff WriterOctober 27, 2011
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (October 27, 2011) -- The holiday season is not always a joyous time for those who are struggling financially, but the Fort Rucker Food Locker and the post Holiday Food Program seek to provide meals to those in need.
The program is receiving nominations from units and organizations for Thanksgiving food recipients through Tuesday. Units and organizations can nominate Soldiers, Family members and Department of Defense civilians, and the nominations will be reviewed by garrison command, and then directed to the Holiday Food Program and Food Locker.
"The program is for the Fort Rucker workforce. We have Families on Fort Rucker who are definitely in financial need. We want them to be able to have a good holiday meal," said Mimi Brooks, project officer for the program.
Those selected to receive assistance will receive a food basket from the Fort Rucker Food Locker and a gift certificate to the commissary or Daleville Food Giant, according to whether they are civilian or active duty, according to Brooks. Families selected for Thanksgiving baskets will also receive assistance at Christmas. Nominations received after Tuesday but before Nov. 30 will only be eligible for food donations at Christmas time.
Much of the food given by the Holiday Food Program comes directly from the Fort Rucker Food Locker, which is maintained by 1st Aviation Brigade, Headquarters and Headquarters Company. In addition to providing food during the holidays, the Food Locker is available to Soldiers and civilians in need all year long.
"If they ask for help, we'll never turn them away," said Sgt. 1st Class Argelio Rodriguez, 1st Aviation Brigade HHC, while stocking shelves at the Food Locker.
For both the Holiday Food Program and Food Locker, donations of food, money and time are very important, according to Brooks.
"This program is based 100 percent on donations. The more donations, the more help we can provide," she said.
The Food Locker is also seeking volunteers to help manage the donations, said Sgt. Laura Hodiwala, 1st Aviation Brigade HHC, who oversees Food Locker operations.
"We highly encourage units to volunteer and help with upkeep. We'll welcome anyone. It's very fulfilling to help out a lot of people, not just during the holiday season," she said.
Many community organizations including the Wiregrass Sergeant Major Association, local Boy Scouts of America troops and Fort Rucker Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers, have recently helped fill the shelves at the food locker with monetary and food support.
"Year round, we get a lot of support from the community. Most of the donations we receive are canned goods and nonperishable items. We have received so much, but I think that the biggest thing we need is (to be able to) purchase the turkeys," said Hodiwala.
Any contribution helps, according to Brooks, especially in light of the increase in food prices and economic climate.
"Economic times are tough. This is an opportunity to help out our own," she said.
For information on the Holiday Food Program and to donate money, call 255-2341. For more information on the Food Locker, or to volunteer or donate food, call 255-2901.

Football season is here. Across the state, many Kentuckians will mark the season by getting out their tastiest tailgating recipes and firing up the grill. Unfortunately, some tailgating favorites like hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken wings and potato chips can cause you to pack on the pounds while cheering for your team. Below are some tips to help you make healthier choices this season.
Include vegetables in the game plan. Cut them up and serve them with a low-fat dip or hummus. You can also grill them and serve as a side to your main course.
Walker's Bend where I began my life was rural, really rural, not gentrified country or suburban—rural. The main difference between rural and city, you have more bathroom options. Self-sufficient, we raised our own food, butchered our own meat, we weren't part of the farm to table movement, we were garden to mouth.
Years ago I visited with a woman who sold biblical toys, action figures of Bible characters like Moses, David and Goliath and Jesus.
The Jesus doll, about twice the size of a G.I. Joe, had movable fingers and joints and if you pressed a button on Jesus' back he talked.
As the woman demonstrated, Jesus started reciting Bible verses -- and wouldn't stop.
I was there to interview the woman for a newspaper story and tried to have a conversation with her but couldn't concentrate because Jesus wouldn't stop talking.
Dear Readers,
In last week's edition of The Trimble Banner there was an article regarding the 10 cent tax that was passed back in 1979. I have some additional information on that to share this week and then I hope that discussion can be put to rest.
August 21, 1986 (30 years ago)
Trimble County Fiscal Court has prepared and submitted a draft solid waste management plan to the Division of Waste Management, Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet. The plan is a 20-year strategy outlining proposals to manage the solid waste generated within the county, including its storage, collection, transportation, disposal and opportunities for resources recovery.
The Trimble County cross country team has once again begun their annual summer training in preparation for another successful fall season.

Natural Shelf-life Extender Introduced
Kancor North America introduces Oxikan with a full range of natural antioxidants derived from Rosemary, increasing shelf life in products without the use of chemical ingredients. Seasoned experts in spice extraction, Kancor North America sees Oxikan as the next generation natural solution to the growing shelf life challenge facing food and beverage manufacturers.
Rosemary is known to be a safe, health-enhancing food ingredient. Kancor America has identified three active properties in the rosemary molecules that inhibit oxidation. Oxikan utilizes these molecules for an all-natural ingredient that offers multiple advantages in addition to shelf life extension, including stabilizing natural colors and fighting rancidity in oils, as well as it has superior flow, excellent oil miscibility and a mild rosemary flavor.
"To today's health conscious world natural still remains a key factor in the food and beverage choices consumers make for themselves and their families," stated Geemon Korah, CEO of Kancor. "Oxikan offers manufacturers a high performance, high quality natural alternative to extend the shelf life of their products."
Oxikan comes in a full range of flavor profiles to suit multiple applications and is ideal for meat and poultry products. In fact, laboratory tests have proven Oxikan's superior efficacy. The Thiobarbituric Acid Reactives Substances (TBARS) analysis method is the most common way to test for lipid oxidation in meat and poultry products. A TBARS analysis with ground chicken and buffalo patties showed that the samples treated with Oxikan had lower oxidation levels than those that were untreated.
For more than four decades, Kancor Ingredients has offered their customers superior quality ingredients, including Spices, Botanicals, Natural Food Colors and Essential Oils and more. Oxikan now broadens the scope of their offerings by providing added solutions needed to bring products to market.

Methuen, MA - "scrap metal buyers" search results
About Scrap Metal Buyers
There are a lot of people that have metal things just lying around and want someone to haul it away. If you know the local scrap metal buyers, and have a truck, then you are well on your way to starting this kind of business. You might be asking yourself what you need and how to find local scrap metal buyers. Its really not as hard as it seems. Where to Find Scrap Metal? The first thing that you will need when you start looking into this kind of business is to find the scrap metal. There are plenty of public places and businesses that may want to have old desks or old appliances hauled off. This is a great way to start. Call the businesses around town and tell them what you are doing. Then ask them if they have anything that they would like hauled off. Then you go get the metal and take it to the local scrap metal buyer in your area. There may be more than one that you can sell the metal that you pick up to, so make sure that you are selling it to the company that will give you the most for it. That way you will be getting the most for the work that you do. How to Haul It Off? The easiest way is to have a truck that you can put everything in and haul easily. Local scrap metal buyers can then get the items out of your truck much easier than if the metal was put into a cargo van or a car. If you have no other options, you can put the scrap metal in your car or van. It's tight, but it can be done. The local scrap metal buyer will then pay you for the metal that you leave and that's it.

More on Scrap Metal Buyers
What Can You Expect To Make? There are many places that follow their own line of pricing per ton, but there are some that will adjust with the going rate of scrap metal. Local scrap metal buyers can change the prices from a few dollars a ton to hundreds in as little as a month. You have to keep up on these trends with your local scrap metal buyer so that you are not surprised with what they give you when you go in to drop off a load. Many people that haul metal, will wait until the prices are high before they take in much of what they have. Scrap metal hauling is one of the easiest jobs to do to make a little money on the side. You just need to have those few simple things and not be afraid to get your hands dirty. Local scrap metal buyers are everywhere, so its very easy to get the money that you want by just picking up metal and taking it in to the local scrap metal buyers. Remember that the money does fluctuate so keep your day job if you can as well.

Definition of iodophor in English:
Any of a group of disinfectants containing iodine in combination with a surfactant.
Example sentences
- The physical action of washing hands under such circumstances is recommended because alcohols, chlorhexidine, iodophors, and other antiseptic agents have poor activity against spores.
- The surgeons standardized their surgical skin prep to the one-step iodophor / alcohol water insoluble film method without the iodine impregnated incise drape.
- This reflects changes in food habits, reduction of iodised salt intake, changes in food technology, phasing out of iodophors s disinfectants in milk.

"truly Paradise" Top 5 Page for this destination Seychelles by Dyesebel
Seychelles Travel Guide: 1,089 reviews and 3,412 photos
We spent 17 fantastic days here in Seychelles,its unspoilt beauty made our holiday perfect.Despite of mosquito bites, prickly heat and heatstroke we experienced;)
Seychelles is definitely expensive,the enormous price of the entrance fees,bike rentals,restaurants,souvenirs are quite shocking;)!
If you're budget travelers like us,I would recommend to stay in a self- catering accomodation because foods from the market are cheap and guaranteed fresh.That's why,you won't find so much tips about restaurants on my page(very soon).I don't mind cooking on our holidays as long as I won't wash the dishes;)
Honestly,without our earned airmiles from Skywards (Emirates),we couldn't afford to come here.Imagine,we paid only 80� for our return tickets from Newcastle,UK including 3days stopover in Dubai.Felt very lucky!
We visited 3 out of 115 islands of the Seychelles,we could have visited other islands,if we had enough budget but unfortunately,we didn't,so for now, Mah�,Praslin and La Digue will do.
An island nation lies off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean.
Victoria is the capital and the largest city of Seychelles but one of the world's tiniest.Seychelles official languages are English,French and Creole.Seychellois Rupee(SCR) is the currency.The weather is hot and humid but soothed by sea breezes.
The largest and most inhabited island of the Seychelles,nearly 80% of the country's total population.Mah� contains Victoria,the capital, as well as their international airport.I find the southern part picturesque than the northern part,or should I say, northern part has its own charm.Fair enough;)To see more of the island,you can either join a tour or simply hire a car and explore at your own pace.There are public buses as well but I'm not sure how their system works.
The second largest island of Seychelles,the home to the famous Coco de Mer. This place reminds me of my hometown!Very green,peaceful and quite.Again,the best way to explore the island is to hire a car because the public bus does not run regularly,altho' its the cheaper way.But some places are just walking distance.
La Digue
Probably the most photographed island.Here you'll find the trademark of the Seychelles,namely,the beautiful granite boulder formations. Unfortunately, I didn't see much of La Digue because I wasn't well when we were here:( The best way to explore the island is to hire a bike,but be prepared,the bikes are quite old and crappy and the saddle is as hard as what you can think of;)It took me days to be "normal" again;)
- Pros:unspoilt beauty
- Cons:EXPENSIVE
Reviews (32)
L'Union Estate Park is a national heritage site on the island of La Digue.You can stroll around the gardens,vanilla... more travel advice
Actually I'm not sure if I should post it here or in "tourist traps",there's only few "things" to see here,some of them... more travel advice
This place reminds me of the public markets in the Philippines;) You get fresh or dried fish, fruits... more travel advice

Don't take this to mean PANIC, OMG the world is over.
Just an attitude of :
"Ok, we'll have to re-evaluate what's going on here. Maybe our team isn't super bowl caliber like we thought.....or maybe it CAN BE later in the season. Maybe Alex Smith is definitely not the answer.......or maybe he still can be. We will see"
It's an attitude of perhaps what we had last year in those Redskins and Browns games. We are better than most teams but have to wait and see with EVERYONE.
For the record I put money 9/1 on us going all the way and if I had the option to pull out I wouldn't.
I also don't stop watching Niners games on TV or leave early in person.
It takes a certain experience and maturity to be able to handle this. I notice I get over losses a lot quicker than my coworker/friend who seems to sulk in it longer and gets surprised more easily when things do not go right.
What's probably bothering a lot of people is the uncertainty. I know a lot of Giants fans who are uncertain as well but they always say "as long as Eli is there, we're in the game, I feel good".
Anyways, curious to see who here is in a genuine wait & see approach the rest of this season.

The Argentine midfielder left Inter after 10 years this summer following the end of his contract at San Siro.
As such, the veteran has been without a club – but that may not last long if the Premier League club get their way.
"Cambiasso is still a possibility," he told reporters. "There has been progress over the weekend and we are more than hopeful that we'll have a definitive answer by Friday or Saturday.
"We have spoken with his camp quite often in recent weeks."
