WIT is recruiting thoughtful, passionate, engaged volunteers to help guide our future and to support women in moving forward in their lives. WIT's Board of Directors is responsible for the overall policy and direction of the organization and actively support WIT's Executive Director in planning for and implementing WIT program, development and resource goals.
WIT's Community Education Coordinator Zoe Nesin recently trained 50 Department of Human Services (DHS) workers on the dynamics of domestic violence, substance abuse among women, and the linkages between them. DHS workers often encounter domestic violence and substance in their line of work, and it is important that they understand how each functions (both domestic violence and substance abuse are influenced by childhood trauma and intergenerational cycles of violence), how they reinforce each other, and how to use harm reduction and provide trauma-informed, empowering support to clients.
Last spring, I received a call from a teacher at a local elementary school - her fifth grade class wanted to learn about domestic violence. Would I be willing to come in and talk to them in my role as WIT's Prevention Director? I enthusiastically agreed, but as I hung up the phone, I wondered, How do you talk to 10-year-old children about violence and abuse?

How To: Think Uniform
Editing is a key component to our design process. We meticulously go over our designs to ensure just the right pieces and elements make the cut. Our philosophy is that simple is best. When it comes to dressing, we adopt a similar approach.
Every great wardrobe is built around a collection of solid staple pieces - a uniform - that you wear over and over. The quality of these go-to pieces should be built for longevity and the design should be elevated, thoughtful, and precise. That's why we created the Signature Collection.
The Signature Collection acts as the basis for our ideal wardrobe. A collection of thoughtfully tailored staples with endless opportunities to mix and match. This year, in the spirit of new beginnings, we've given our Signature Collection a makeover. The relaunch includes new additions and updates to some of our most coveted pieces.
Here are our key picks for a versatile uniform that will take you effortlessly from work to play:
Old favorites like our Signature Dolman Shirt make a triumphant return in a new linen fabric that's velvety to the touch. We also updated the intricate pleating in the back. Taking inspiration from another beloved Signature item - the Origami Dress - we applied the same unique origami triangle detail to the the back pleat to add dimension to your favorite everyday button-up shirt. Available in black and white.
We have a restock of our Signature Frayed Edge Dress. It's an easy, multi-occassion piece that offers a playful silhouette to a utilitarian midi-length classic. The button-up panel in the back allows for experimentation with the silhouette. Our favorite way to take this dress from day to night is to tie the panels together at the front as a belt during the day, before letting the panels flow freely in the back for some understated evening movement.
Signature Relaxed Tapering Trousers
New additions begin with our Signature Relaxed Tapering Trouser. We loved this silhouette so much last summer that we decided to bring it back for good. The high-waisted trousers feature front pleats and an elastic waistband at the back for ease-of-wear and comfort. We slightly refined the silhouette for a more streamlined, tapered look. The trousers come in both smooth tencel and a velvety linen. It's the staple black trousers you've been looking for that look good with just about any kind of top.
Last but not least, our most beloved new addition: the Signature Trench Coat. The lightweight coat offers a generous fit and is crafted in a soft 100% buttery cupro and lined with 100% cotton. The sleeves can be worn all the way down for a more formal, sophisticated look, or rolled up with clever button closures for a more casual, effortless feel. It's a great throw on piece for the mild to cooler days.

Digital Error Measuring Circuit For Shading And Registration Errors In Television Cameras, Ser. No. 139,604, filed April 11, 1980, to Karl H. Griesshaber, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,219.
The present invention relates to automatic setup systems for television cameras and particularly to an apparatus and method for continuously monitoring the status and diagnostic condition of a camera, along with the camera video signal, during the automatic setup of multiple cameras.
In the very recent past, television cameras such as broadcast quality studio cameras, and electronic field production (EFP) cameras, have become more and more sophisticated. Such increasing sophistication has included the use of digital techniques throughout their design; i.e., the camera systems employ microprocessor control with associated memories and various degrees of digital logic. Such digital techniques also facilitate the use of automation whereby various highly sophisticated and totally automated digital error measurement and error correction systems are employed to correct scan raster spatial errors, black and white shading errors, focus adjustments, gamma adjustments, etc.
By way of example, such digital techniques may include an automatic setup unit (ASU) which automatically generates error measurement signals during the setup mode of the camera, and then supplies the signals in digital form to a digital spatial error corrector (SEC) circuit located in the camera head. In the ASU, the spatial, shading, etc., errors are measured by providing a comparison between a geometrically perfect electronic test pattern (ETP) signal and the camera signal generated by scanning an optical test pattern. The optical test pattern contains a given pattern of horizontal and vertical black and white lines, i.e., small black and white checkers, corresponding to the electronic test pattern horizontal and vertical frequencies. During an automatic setup mode, the signal from each tube of a plurality of cameras is compared to the electronically generated test pattern via an ASU microprocessor to derive the spatial and shading errors for each tube in the succession of cameras.
Thus, in such microprocessor controlled multiple camera setup systems, camera and tube identification, the camera status information derived during the automatic setup procedure and the extent of the progress of each camera during the setup procedure is contained in the memory of the ASU microprocessor.
It follows that it would be extremely useful and would further the efficiency in setting up multiple cameras, if the status of the camera setup process for each camera could be monitored and displayed in some manner convenient to an operator. Thus, for example, it would be useful if the operator could visually monitor a display which included information such as the number of the camera being processed, the extent to which the setup process has progressed for that camera, the successful completion of the setup process of each camera, any errors that may exist during the setup, the identification and location of the error, etc.
Accordingly, the invention combination provides a heretofore unavailable system which continuously monitors and displays the status and diagnostic condition of a camera in a plurality of cameras during an automatic setup procedure, wherein the status information from each camera is displayed via a single video monitor convenient to the operator. In addition, the display is inserted in one of several video signals of the camera that is selected and is being processed by the ASU. Thus, the system further provides means to display the absolute displacement errors in any chroma channel of any camera being processed.
To these ends, circuit means is provided to generate an insert time window corresponding to the size of the display and to its desired location in the video picture. A command bus from a camera system microprocessor provides command bytes to a control bus latch and memory circuit which selectively latches data from the microprocessor regarding camera identification, status, errors, etc. The latched data are subsequently read out in response to read enable signals from a control read-only memory (ROM). The latched command data is selectively multiplexed to character generator means in response to the control ROM. The character generator means provides a character video signal which is displayed within the insert to provide the display. In addition, selectable video from the camera being set up is provided; viz, conventional multiplexed video, spatial error video and/or character video is displayed on the monitor as a conventional video picture and/or the display which is superimposed on the picture.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an operator with the status and diagnostic condition of a plurality of video cameras at a common monitor location.
It is another object to display the status and diagnostic condition of a camera together with a selected video signal therefrom, during an automatic setup procedure of a multi-camera system.
It is a further object to provide a display system for monitoring the status of a camera in a multi-camera system utilizing data stored in the camera measurement system during an automatic setup procedure.
Still another object is to provide a monitor system which displays video indicative of the existing spatial errors in a camera being set up, to determine the extent of spatial mis-registration of a camera prior to initiating a complete setup procedure.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram depicting the invention combination.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram depicting the system of FIG. 1 in a multi-camera automatic setup system.
FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6 are charts depicting the display superimposed on a monitor video picture.
FIG. 7 is a chart of a video picture depicting A-B video with mis-registration.
FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C are a schematic diagram depicting one implementation of the block diagram of FIG. 1.
The camera status and diagnostic system 10 of FIG. 1 provides means for displaying the status of a camera during an automatic setup procedure of one or more cameras. Typical of a multi-camera system utilizing automatic setup of one or a given succession of cameras, is the broadcast color camera BCC-20/21 with fully automatic setup unit (ASU), manufactured by Ampex Corporation, Redwood City, Calif. The status and diagnostic system of description herein, provides the continuous display of the setup status for each camera, as well as error data generated by the setup, whereby an operator readily may ascertain the setup progress and/or any misregistration condition in a plurality of cameras, using a single, conveniently located monitor.
To this end, a camera system vertical (V) inhibit signal, related to the camera system vertical blanking signal, is provided on an input 12, and is used to synchronize the status and diagnostic system 10 to the camera system sync. Input line 12 is coupled to a vertical/horizontal (V/H) reset circuit 14, which also receives a one megaHertz (1 MHz) timing signal or system clock on one line of multiple lines 16. The lines 16 include several 1 MHz squarewaves at different phases in increments of, for example, 125 nanoseconds (ns), which are used in the system 10 to time the various latches, counters, etc. The reset circuit 14 supplies vertical (V) reset pulses to a V count logic 18 and to a horizontal (H) count logic 20, via a line 22. The H count logic 20 provides an H rate signal via a line 24 to the V count logic 18. The V/H count logics 18, 20 generate outputs which define the start of an insert time window within the video picture, which window contains the display, as further described below. Accordingly, V count logic 18 supplies a V gate via line 26 to an insert logic circuit 28, and the H count logic 20 provides H address information in the form of 8-bit words via an H address bus 30. The insert logic circuit 28 receives an H gate on a line 34 and supplies an insert gate via a line 32, to initiate the location of the insert.
A command bus 36 is supplied from the camera system ASU microprocessor via a control interface (FIG. 2) and includes data in the form of 8-bit words which define parameters such as the camera number, the color tube, error messages and the status of the camera. The command bus 36 is coupled to a control bus latch/status memory 38 which also receives and returns "handshake" signals in the form of data "ready" and "strobe" pulses on lines 40, 42 respectively. When the ready pulse from the microprocessor goes high, it provides the indication that data is ready and initiates the transfer of the data into the status and diagnostic system 10. The strobe pulse provides a write enable signal to the latch/status memory 38 when it goes low, and an acknowledgement back to the microprocessor that data has been transferred when it goes high.
The control bus latch/status memory 38 provides temporary memory to hold the command bus data whereby the microprocessor is freed to perform other tasks. The camera and tube identification data, the camera status, and the error code data are then supplied from the latch/status memory 38 to a display multiplexer 46 via plural buses 44. The display multiplexer 46 in turn selectively directs the various data to a programmable data read-only memory, herein termed a data ROM 48, via a data line select bus 50, in response to controls on a multiplexer control bus 55 from a control ROM/latch 52. The data ROM 48 is programmed to contain selections of the characters and the various messages which make up the display, which then are selectively addressed to generate the display.
The H address bus 30 is coupled in part to the data ROM 48 via a partial 5-bit H address bus 51, and the full 8-bit H address bus 30 extends to the programmable control ROM/latch 52. The latter circuit generates the H gate on line 34, an "end insert" signal to the V count logic 18 via a line 53, as well as a status read address signal on a bus 54 extending to the control bus latch/status memory 38.
The data ROM 48 is coupled to a character generator 56 via a character code bus 58, wherein the character video from character generator 56 is supplied to a character reverse circuit 57 via a line 62, and thence to a video insert switch means 60 via a line 63. The switch means 60 includes an A-B video switch 64, herein depicted as a separate block, which supplies selected analog video to the switch means 60 via a line 66. The character reverse circuit 57 includes means for selectively generating reverse character video in response to a comparison of character codes from the data ROM 48 via a bus 59, and input select data from the control bus latch/status memory 38 via a bus 61.
A multiplexed video signal from a respective camera in the camera system, is provided via an input line 68 extending to an input A of the A-B video switch 64. Likewise, an electronic test pattern (ETP) video signal is supplied to an input B of the switch 64 via an input line 70, a buffer 76 and a low pass filter 77. Fine registration and course registration status signals are supplied to the video switch 64 via input lines 72, 74 and an OR gate 79. The status signal on lines 72 or 74 is high when the ASU measurement system is performing fine or coarse registration measurements, respectively. Thus, the OR gate 79 provides an A-B gate for determining whether the switch 64 selects multiplexed video, or spatial error (A-B) video. The A-B gate also may be provided by a manual override switch, as shown in FIG. 8B. The ETP signal from buffer 76 also is fed to an output line 78 for camera system use. The video insert switch means 60 supplies the monitor video on a monitor video output 80, which signal provides the status and diagnostic display on a display monitor convenient to an operator, as further depicted in FIG. 2.
A shift register defined herein as phase shifter 82 supplies, via the lines 16, the (1 MHz) system clock signals used to generate the characters for the display, and also to re-latch information in the various components of the system. The clock signals are generated from a camera system (1 MHz) H memory address input on a line 86 and an 8 MHz inverted system clock on a line 88, as further described in FIG. 8.
The strobe pulse on line 42 is further coupled to an auto timer circuit 90 which supplies a logic control auto timer signal via a line 92 to the insert logic circuit 28, to automatically disable the status and diagnostic system 10 after a given period of time of non-use, for example, 5 minutes. The timer circuit 90 can be manually defeated via an override switch, as shown in FIG. 8C.
FIG. 2 depicts in simplified block diagram a multi-camera system having a fully automatic setup capability, in which the status and diagnostic system 10 described herein may be utilized. In FIG. 2, an automatic setup unit (ASU) 98 supplies the required measurements, commands, etc., required to fully process the cameras during the course of an automatic setup procedure. The ASU includes a microprocessor/memory means 100 which initiates the various commands to control the exchange of data, as well as to complete the correction functions of the camera system. The means 100 includes enough memory to store various software programs, to store measure and correction buffer data for a plurality of cameras (indicated herein at 102) and for the serial and parallel hardware which handle the various input/output circuits. The microprocessor/memory means 100 interfaces with a video measurement means 104 via a bus 105 and a control interface board 106, and sends the necessary commands to initiate the various measurement functions and the camera selection, etc., necessary for the setup procedure. The control interface 106 includes interface to several ASU functions. The function of interest herein is provided via the command bus 36 to the status and diagnostic system 10, which provides the status display on a video monitor 108 via the monitor video output line 80 of FIG. 1. The microprocessor/memory means 100 further receives inputs from the video measurement means 104 in the form of measurement data, over a data bus 110 from a data interface board 112. Such measurement data is utilized in part as the error and function information employed by the status and diagnostic system 10 to form the display.
The microprocessor/memory means 100 further is coupled to a data routing means 114 via a bus 115, and through control of the routing switches therein, channels the serial data path of one of the selected plurality of cameras 102 to the buses 105, 36. An operator control panel (OCP) 118 is inserted upstream of the cameras 102 and provides means whereby an operator can enter commands to the automatic setup unit. The numbers of the selected cameras are entered from the master setup panel (MSP) 116 into the microprocessor/memory means 100 and are utilized in the measurement system as well as in the status and diagnostic system 10.
Thus, system 10 is utilized in a microprocessor controlled environment, with video signals supplied from a selected camera of a plurality of cameras 102, wherein error measurement data pertinent to the camera are likewise provided via the microprocessor/memory means 100 during the course of an automatic setup procedure. The status and diagnostic condition of the camera being processed is continuously displayed on the monitor 108 as determined by the data on command bus 36 from the microprocessor/memory means 100.
The associated command bus assignments employed in the status and diagnostic system of description herein, are depicted accordingly in Table 1, by way of example only. Obviously many other functions, symbols, binary code words, messages, etc., are contemplated by the invention combination.

As shown in the Table, the microprocessor/memory means 100 supplies four instruction code words (command bytes 1, 2, 3 and 4) for various uses in the ASU measurement system, as well as in the status and diagnostic system 10. The four least significant bits (LSB) of the first byte define the input select command of the system 10. The second byte is not used by the system 10, The third and fourth bytes are used by the system 10, and are termed the status and error code command bytes, respectively. By way of example only, the status command byte provides the characters "S", "D," "?" and "E" which represent the camera status of "selected", "done", marginal fault and setup ending error, respectively. The status command byte also provides numbers 0 through 9 which indicate the extent of progress of the setup procedure for the selected camera. Thus, a "0" character in the display indicates that setup has just started, "4" indicates setup is half done, and a "9" indicates setup is almost done.
The two most significant bits (MSB) of the bytes determine the purpose of each byte. Accordingly, by manipulating the two MSB of the bytes 1, 2, 3, 4, the microprocessor/memory means 100 determines the desired measurement function, the camera to be set up, and further enables the status and monitor system 10 to display the resulting camera status. More particularly, the first byte represents, inter alia, the input camera number which is selected for setup; the second byte determines coarse registration and is not utilized in the system 10 described herein; the third byte represents the status and tube information for use in the status system; and the fourth byte represents the error code and provides six bits of information to determine up to 64 unique messages which, in turn, may provide a full 31 characters within the display. As further discribed in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6, the display is formed of three "lines" of text, herein termed three "rows" of text or characters. By way of example only, each character herein is formed of 16 horizontal television lines.
Table 1 further contains a list of the (32) error code binary words which provide the command messages corresponding to the various functions, problems, etc., experienced by a camera during the setup procedure, and which comprises the messages displayed in the display in the third row of characters. The various application of the command bus assignments, the error codes, etc., in the status and diagnostic system 10, are further described relative to the schematic of FIG. 8 below.
FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 illustrate by way of example only, the display format employed herein. Obviously, many other formats, insert time window arrangements, types of information, etc., are contemplated within the invention combination. As shown in FIG. 3, the display extends approximately three-fourths of the horizontal width of the active video picture, and is centered in the bottom half of the picture so as not to obstruct the more critical center and corner portions thereof. Three rows of characters, or text, are shown, wherein each row may provide 31 white characters (corresponding to white level video) on a black background (corresponding to black level video). The top or first row includes the word "camera" and the camera numbers 1 through 8, as determined by the first or input select command byte of the Table 1. The camera being set up and thus whose status is being shown, is identified as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 by reversing the character video thereof to provide a black character on a white background. In FIG. 3, setup has just been initiated, the cameras to be setup have not yet been selected and thus no camera number is shown in reverse character video on the first or input select row, and no status data is shown in the second or status row. The third or error code row displays the message "ready" corresponding to the 6-bit binary word "one" of Table 1. This indicates to an operator that the automatic measurement system 98 of FIG. 2 is ready to begin the setup procedure.
In FIG. 4, the character "S" in the status text row indicates that cameras 2, 3, 4 and 6 have been selected for setup, and the reverse character video on camera 6, input select row, indicates camera 6 is presently being processed.
In FIG. 5, camera 4 is being processed and the questionmark on the status row indicates to the operator that there is a marginal problem being experienced by the camera. The problem area is identified in the error code row; i.e., the "rotation adjust" function of the green tube of camera 4 has not been fully completed. The character "?" indicates that the camera is operable as set up, but that the operator should keep in mind that the rotational adjustment of the green tube is at fault.
In the display of FIG. 6, the character "D" indicates that setup is successfully done on cameras 2, 3 and 6, and that the green tube of camera 4 still has a fault regarding rotation. If the fault were corrected, the "?" is replaced by a "D," the message on error code row is removed, and setup on cameras 2, 3, 4 and 6 is successfully completed.
In FIGS. 3-6, multiplexed camera video is simultaneously being shown as an active video picture upon which the display insert is superimposed. As previously mentioned, the camera being set up may supply conventional multiplexed video, or A-B video formed by displaying a subtracted video signal, i.e., the ETP signal subtracted from the multiplexed video which, in this system, is video the camera generates when scanning the optical test pattern. The videos are subtracted in the analog domain via action of the A-B switch 64 and the A-B signal is indicative of any mis-timing, and thus mis-registration, of a camera tube when scanning the optical test pattern. The A-B gate is supplied via the ASU measurement system 98 of FIG. 2, which is described in copending U.S. application Ser. No. 139,604 to K. H. Griesshaber, cross-referenced above, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,219.
FIG. 7 shows a portion of a video picture depicting an A-B spatial error signal in which a mis-registration or horizontal offset, of 40 ns has been introduced. Such a rather small mis-registration between the scanned optical test pattern and the ETP is readily seen as alternate white and black vertical bars located at the black/white, white/black transitions of the checkers which form the test pattern. Thus an operator can quickly and accurately visually determine whether a spatial error exists in the cameras being setup prior to actually performing a full spatial measurement and correction via the ASU system 98.
FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C depict an implementation of the block diagram of FIG. 1, wherein like components are similarly numbered. In FIG. 8A, V inhibit is provided to the V/H reset circuit 14 via the input line 12, and is a pulse which occurs approximately two horizontal lines earlier than system V blanking. V inhibit provides not only V sync for the system 10 but herein also is a source of system 10 horizontal timing. The reset circuit 14 comprises a pair of D-type flip-flops 119 which are clocked by the 1 MHz clock from port E of the phase shifter 82 via one of the lines 16. The V/H reset circuit 14 re-clocks V inhibit to provide a V reset pulse and an inverted V reset pulse, which are short (1 us) reset pulses which pre-load vertical counters 120a, 120b and horizontal counters 122a, 122b, 122c and 122d in the V count and H count logics 18, 20 respectively.
The count logics 18, 20 divide down the 1 MHz system clock supplied on lines 16, whereby the H count logic 20 generates the H addresses for the characters in each of the three rows of text forming the display. The V count logic 18 generates vertical line numbers in response to the 1 MHz clock and the H rate signal on line 24 from H counter 122b. The counters are re-locked to the system clock every vertical field by the pre-setting action of the V reset pulses from the V/H reset circuit 14. V count logic 18 produces the V gate signal on line 26, where pre-loading the V counters 120a, b, selectively locates the start of the insert window within the video picture, i.e., places the display in the lower region of the video picture where it least obstructs the video information presented on the monitor. Presetting of the V count logic 18 for the NTSC 525 line color television standard, or for the PAL 625 line standard, is selectable via a pair of jumpers 124, 126 respectively. The V count logic 18 also provides a start first character logic signal via a flip-flop 128 and a line 130 to the H count logic 20 (counter 122c) and to the character generator 56.
The insert window is ended by an insert end pulse on line 53 from the control ROM/latch 52. The latter is programed to generate the pulse when a sufficient number of horizontal lines have been counted to provide the three rows of display text with sufficient spacing around the rows of characters to be visually pleasing. The insert end pulse resets an output flip-flop 132 in the V count logic 18 to end the insert while still allowing the V counters 120a, b to continue counting.
The H count logic 20 provides the 8-bit H address words to the control ROM/latch 52 via the bus 30, as well as 5-bit H address words on bus 51 to the data ROM 48, in response to the 1 MHz clock from port D of the phase shifter 82. The H counter 122a provides the first four LSB of the character column addresses; the H counter 122b provides the two MSB of the character column addresses; the H counter 122c supplies the spacing between the character rows; and the H counter 122d provides the text line addresses.
The insert logic circuit 28 (FIG. 8C) comprises an AND gate which receives the V gate and the H gate, and initiates the vertical and horizontal start of the insert in the video picture when both gates go high, via a corresponding insert gate signal on the line 32 extending to the video insert switch 60.
Thus, the components 14, 18, 20 and 28 define means for generating an insert time window in a selected area of the video picture generated by a television camera during the setup procedure. The display data for filling the insert is then derived via various other components of the system 10, as described below.
To this end, the major source of information introduced from the ASU of FIG. 2, comprises the four command bytes shown in Table 1 and supplied via the command bus 36, FIG. 8B. Upon occurrence of the data ready pulse on line 40, the two MSB of the command bus are decoded to one of four possible combinations in a decoder 134. The latter steers the ready pulse to one of the four outputs wherein three of the outputs therefrom are used to clock three latches 136, 138 and 140 in the control latch/status memory 38. Thus, the first set of latches 136-140 allows the system 10 to latch incoming data on the command bus 36 within a few microseconds, whereby the microprocessor memory means 100 can be released to perform other tasks, such as changing control to the next camera. A fourth latch 142 comprises a second level of delay, i.e., a delayed latch of data from the first set of latches, and, in particular, latches the three LSB from the latch 140 corresponding to the input select command, i.e., camera number (byte 1), as well as the two LSB from the latch 138 corresponding to the tube command (byte 3). A status memory 144 also provides a delayed latch of status data from the latch 138. The status byte is latched into the status memory 144 in response to the three LSB of the input select byte, and the strobe pulse on line 42 which is fed to the write enable input of the memory 144. The camera number data must be latched into the input select latch 140 before the status data can be written into the status memory 144.
Thus, the latch 140 latches the input select command byte of Table 1 from the command bus 36, when clocked by the y0 output of decoder 134; latch 138 latches the status and tube data corresponding to the second command byte of Table 1 when clocked by y2 output; and latch 136 latches the error code data corresponding to the fourth command byte of Table 1 in response to the y3 output of decoder 134.
The tube and input select data is then latched into the second level latch 142, while the status and input select data is further latched into the status memory 144 as previously mentioned. The latched data is then fed to the display multiplexer 46 via the multiple buses 44, to determine the data ROM selections in response to control by the control ROM/latch 52.
The latch 142 provides the data that is displayed as the suffix of the error code message on the third row of display text, i.e., the camera number and tube color. However, in situations where a suffix message is not desired, for example, in FIGS. 3 or 4, or where the ASU has an internal fault, etc., the display of the suffix is defeated by the binary number of the associated error code message, whereby the display multiplexer 46 calls out the corresponding address in the data ROM 48 to prevent the latter from shifting out of the lower half of the memory.
The status memory 144 is, in effect, a register file memory which has independent write and read circuits and functions, since the read-out process is slaved to the incoming video, and the write process is timed to the microprocessor system.
In FIG. 8A, the control ROM/latch 52 includes a 1k�8 programable E-PROM 146 followed by a latch 148, and functions as a programed logic array where specific H addresses, or range of addresses, are decoded to define the display. Thus the E-PROM 146 is programed to include a number of character blocks, the three rows of display text and the overall spacing and extent of the display. The addresses are supplied via the H count logic 20, whereby the control ROM/latch 52 switches the display multiplexer 46 via the multiplexer control logic on the 2-bit bus 55, to provide selected characters and error code messages contained in the data ROM 48. The latch 148 also provides the 3-bit status read addresses via the bus 54 to the read enable inputs of the status memory 144.
The data ROM 48 is programmed with selections of the desired characters, and a plurality of messages of up to 31 characters in length such as the error code messages in Table 1 above. In practice, 21 characters are used. The selections are called up by the data line selections from the display multiplexer 46 on the bus 50, and include whether status information, error code information, or the suffix of the error code corresponding to the camera and tube numbers, etc., are to be displayed. The data ROM 48 character positions are addressed via the H count logic 20 to increment the data ROM 48 horizontally on each text line via the H address bus 30 from the counter. The H count logic 20 cycles the data ROM 48 through 31 possible character columns. The data ROM is switched internally between the camera and tube suffix, and the last 10 characters of the stored error code message, via a high frequency clock generated via the error code on the bus 44, a gate array 150 (FIG. 8B) and a line 149. The output of the data ROM 48 calls up the specific characters in the character generator 56. Thus, the data ROM 48 and the character generator 56 provide in effect a conventional character generator. However, in the system 10, the selection of the proper data to input to the character generator 56 is a function of the display multiplexer 46 as controlled in turn by the control ROM/latch 52.
The character generator is supplied with a line input clocked from the H line rate signal via a line 152. A dot clock input is coupled to a clock from the input 88 (FIG. 8B) via a line 154 and generates the character dots where determined via the data ROM 48 output. The load input of the character generator 56 is coupled to the G and B ports of the phase shifter 82 via the lines 16 and a NAND gate array 156, where the latter further includes an input from the start first character line 130 from the flip-flop 128 (FIG. 8A).
Referring to FIGS. 8A, 8C, the character generator 56 is coupled to the video insert switch 60 via the character reverse circuit 57. The latter circuit detects the number of the camera being processed and reverses the character video from the generator 56 to highlight the camera number in the first display row so it may be readily discernable from the other numbers of the row. That is, the character video is reversed during the horizontal video lines corresponding to the character height plus the spacing above and below the first row of text. This provides a black character on a white background as shown in FIGS. 4, 5.
To this end, character reverse circuit 57 includes a comparator 158 which has inputs A coupled to receive the input select command byte via the bus 61, and inputs B coupled via the bus 59 to receive the four LSB of the character code signal from the data ROM 48. When the A and B binary inputs are equal, as in the case when they receive the number of the camera being processed, the comparator supplies a change of state on its A=B output to a D-type flip-flop 160, which supplies the state change as a character reverse signal to one input of an exclusive OR 162. The other input is coupled to the character video line 62. The exclusive OR 162 is a non-inverting buffer as long as the character reverse state is low, but becomes an inverter when the character reverse goes high, as when digital A equals digital B. The regular, or the reversed, character video is fed to the video insert switch via the line 63.
As shown in detail in FIG. 8C, the video insert switch 60 and the A-B video switch 64 actually comprise an integral switch means with three possible modes of output; i.e., multiplexed video, A-B video, and/or character video. Thus, the combination switch means provides a three-way switch controlled by logic determined by the desired mode of output, and includes differential amplifiers 164, 166, 168 with associated constant current sources 170, 172, 174 respectively. One side of differential amplifier 164 receives the multiplexed video on line 68. The signal is halved via a voltage divider 176 and is fed to one side of the A-B differential amplifier 166. The second side of A-B amplifier 166 receives the ETP video via the line 70, the buffer 76, the low pass filter 77 and a gray offset circuit 178. The latter configures the A-B differential amplifier 166 to become a subtracting amplifier. Thus if the video on line 68 equals the video on line 70 (as when in the A-B video mode and there is no spatial mis-registration) the monitor video output signal on output line 80 will provide a totally gray video picture on the monitor 108.
One side of the differential amplifier 168 receives the character video via line 63. The outputs of the differential amplifiers 164, 166, 168 supply the monitor video output on line 80 via a line driver circuit 180.
The emitters of the current sources 170, 172, 174 are tied together. The base of current source 174 is coupled to the insert gate via the line 32, and the bases of current sources 170, 172 are coupled to line 32 via respective NAND gate arrays 182. The latter in turn are also coupled to an inverted A-B gate and to a valid blanking signal on an input line 184 (FIG. 8B) via a NAND gate 186. The bases of the current sources are coupled to resistive voltage dividers whereby only one source is on at one time since the emitters thereof are tied together.
The inverted A-B gate is derived on a line 187 from the fine or coarse status signals on input lines 72, 74 via a manual dip switch/gate means 188, which includes the OR gate 79 of FIG. 1. The means 188 provides three dip switches for manually overriding the fine or coarse status signals and to select A-B on or off. When in the manual position, the respective dip switches connect the switch/gate means 188 to +5 volts, i.e., a high state, to provide fine, coarse or both signals manually. The valid blanking signal on line 184 is related to composite video blanking and inhibits the A-B selection during the inactive region of the video picture.
The A-B video switch 64 is in essence an analog subtractor which performs an analog subtraction of the ETP signal on input 70 from the multiplexed input video on line 68, in response to the A-B gate. If there is no spatial displacement error or mis-registration between the signals, the two incoming video signals will correspond over the video picture, whereby the resulting background video will be an even gray field. If there are mis-registration or timing errors, there will be noticeable edges on the transistions, wherein the difference of black or white depends upon the relative delay. This effect was previously discussed and depicted in the FIG. 7, wherein a horizontal offset of 40 ns was introduced to illustrate the effect.
The auto timer circuit 90 (FIG. 8B) includes a counter 190 whose count is reset by the strobe pulse on input line 42 and which is clocked via the V inhibit signal on input line 12. The output thereof is coupled via a D-type flip-flop 192 to the insert logic circuit 28 via the line 92 and a pair of switches 194, 196. Thus, the automatic shutoff feature can be manually defeated by opening the switch 194. Switch 196 defeats the insert window in the down position to allow viewing of the entire video picture.

Here are some, but clearly not all, dividend stocks that investors could consider to fill out the equities portion of the neo-classical retirement or pre-retirement portfolio.
A few comments are in order regarding the neo-classical portfolio. First, investors will need to wean themselves from index and buy and hold approaches. They will have to find a way to be more active in positioning their assets to capture appropriate levels of income and achieve some growth. I usually recommend individual dividend-paying stocks as a core program and low-cost index funds on the fringe. Second, this is not easy work. Since Street.com readers are generally independent-thinking investors, I say this reluctantly, but with conviction: If you cannot do this on your own, find a registered investment adviser who can help you execute. Nothing wrong using a fee-only adviser to put a plan together for you then coach you along the way. Third, the underlying theme for this group of investors, especially for the equity portion of their portfolios, should be to invest in areas that have lots of hard assets, make necessary items, i.e. non-discretionary, have some kind of monopolistic character and pay above-average current income. To some degree, the portfolio should mirror the areas where retirees and near-retirees are spending their own money: energy, food, water, health care. Fourth, depending on your risk tolerance, Treasury securities can be considered, but only for risk reduction, not current income. At the time of publication the author's clients may own some or all of the securities mentioned. This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Carl, wow that's quite a march.
Some nice video footage of a gay pride parade in Mumbai, India, where gay sex is illegal. (From Towleroad.)
BB, looks like we are heading back a generation on some issues. I don't know if they can reverse the Obergefell but you can bet they'll try.
NYTimes article about gangs in Australia that murdered gay men as sport, and got away with it, back in the 80s and 90s. Police didn't help. 88 deaths are now being reviewed, with 30 currently unsolved.
When I lived in Indiana, there were rumors of disappearances and murders. Herb Baumeister was a suburban Indianapolis man who murdered somewhere between 11 and 16 men and boys during that era. I don't know if his victims were gay, however. Police at the time were more interested in entrapping gay men and giving their names to the newspapers to be published. The Indiana antigay and highly religious atmosphere was a big factor in me leaving the midwest, I hated life there. On the other hand, if every progressive leaves, that leads to a more regressive atmosphere for those left behind.
Meet Anti-LGBTQ Extremism's Insidious New Leader
Blog ››› January 25, 2017 4:56 PM EST ››› RACHEL PERCELAY
The extremist Christian legal giant Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) -- known for spearheading the anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ fight in state legislatures, nationally, and abroad -- just named a new president. Here's what you need to know about ADF's new leader, Michael Farris -- an experienced fearmongerer and fundamentalist lawyer who will lead the group's assault on LGBTQ rights.
. . . Fearmongering was an integral part of HSLDA's success in cultivating an active and involved membership base. Under Farris' leadership, ADF will likely ramp up its campaign to convince supporters that any gains in LGBTQ equality will lead to widespread persecution of Christians or an influx of "bathroom predators."
Fitting with ADF's vision of an American legal system rooted in 3rd century Christian theology, Farris has long advocated for a cultural change to shape American politics towards the far religious right. Farris also founded another organization, Generation Joshua, a 7,500 member organization that seeks to train teens to be the "next generation of Christian leaders and citizens." While ADF already has a vast domestic and international training program to recruit lawyers and law students to provide pro-bono hours for anti-LGBTQ legal work, Farris' work with K-12 and undergraduate students could lay the groundwork for ADF expanding its training to younger ages.
Kind of a nice story about a cute gay Iraqi couple who overcame adversity and are now married and living in Seattle. It's a reminder of how relatively good we have it here in the West and the US, compared to so many other places.
via gaytimes "Nell Bryden... teamed up with Welsh filmmaker Rhys Davies for the music video, which was inspired by a feature about a gay couple desperate for marriage equality before one of them suffered the full effects of Alzheimer's disease."
I don't know if I've posted this before, but Daniel's video on intersex people reminded me that I had this video saved to my favorites on YouTube.
That's a very interesting video on homosexuality. There's definately much to ponder and more to discover about this topic.
As much as I enjoy hearing that I may be more intelligent and a specially important aspect of our society, I'm rather apprehensive to fully embrace this theory. At least right now.
While watching the video, I had a feeling in the back of my head that a few of his conclusions were premature or possibly a bit farfetched. I think any person, gay or straight, can be the "glue" that holds together a family or community. Any person, gay or straight, can be a driving empathic force. I think empathy can be learned and obtained by anybody through social interaction and education.
I'm open to discussion. What say you?
Loren, I thought the video was interesting too. The more we learn, the more we know.
I've always thought that Intersex people got a bad deal out of LGBT activism, almost always leaving out the "I". And yet, if anyone has a claim to the idea that gender and sex are not chosen traits, and the world isn't just binary, it's intersex people.
Daniel, that video was a genuine mind-bender, and it may have provided a couple data points on just how I got to be where I am on the sexual spectrum.
Molte grazie, bro.

Intimate voicemail messages left by Prince William for his then girlfriend Kate Middleton, in which he calls her "my little babykins", and another joke message left for his brother Prince Harry calling him a "big hairy fat ginger", were hacked by the News of the World, the Old Bailey heard on Thursday
Transcripts of the messages, sent when Prince William was undertaking officer training at Sandhurst, also revealed his embarrassment at being nearly hit by blank bullet rounds when he got "terribly lost" during an exercise in the woods.
"I've been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting terribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment's ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot. Not by live rounds but by blank rounds," the Prince says.
The Duke, who met his future wife in 2003, spent almost all of 2006 at Sandhurst, passing out in December. The couple split up a year later, but shortly afterwards resumed their relationship and were engaged in 2010.
Emails read out in court by the lead prosecutor, Andrew Edis QC, are the first time evidence has been presented in a court allegedly linking the now defunct Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid directly to the hacking of messages between members of the Royal Family.
The voicemails also contain allegations that Prince Harry bent Sandhurst's rules by obtaining outside help for an academy essay, and that Prince William bypassed regulations on leaving the military academy to meet his girlfriend.
Although the transcripts have been held by Scotland Yard since 2006, they were not used during the trial in the same year of the NOTW's royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, and the paper's regularly commissioned private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire. Both were convicted in January 2007 of illegally hacking voicemails said to belong to members of the royal household, rather than the Royal Family themselves. Mr Mulcaire has already pleaded guilty to further hacking-relating charges. The jury was told of the stories which subsequently appeared in the NOTW, allegedly based on the hacked voicemails. The description of Prince William being nearly shot appeared in the "Blackadder" royal gossip column, edited by Mr Goodman. The court heard that prior to publication he sent an email to his senior editorial colleagues outlining the story.
The detail of a short message left at 5.34am, where William calls Kate "babykins", appeared in the NOTW in February 2006 under the headline, "Wills wants the girl he calls 'babykins' to become his princess".
In another message, William says "I'm going to try and go beagling again today" and that he might try to see Kate later. The message was discovered by police when they searched Mr Goodman's house in 2006. The court was told that the plan to go "beagling" was mentioned in an email from Mr Goodman to his editor, Andy Coulson. The email was said to contain an evaluation that Prince William may find it difficult to carry out his plans because nobody is allowed leave during the initial weeks at Sandhurst.
The hacking of Prince Harry's phone centred on a message where, according to the NOTW's own account, William tried to impersonate his brother's then girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. Assuming a falsetto voice, the male caller says: "Hi, it's Chelsy here. I just want to say I miss you so much and I think you're the most best looking ginger I've ever seen, although you really are quite ugly for a ginger."
Mr Goodman and Mr Coulson face charges of bribing public officials. Mr Coulson, along with Rebekah Brooks, News International's former chief executive, also faces charges of conspiracy to hack phones. Four others also face hacking relating charges. All deny the charges against them. The trial continues.

Oracles & Healers: Michael – Today we will speak about health... Ron Head ~ The 13 Moon Calendar
Expand Messages
http://oraclesandhealers.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/from-my-dear-friend-milna-thank-you/#more-2827MichaelToday we will speak about health and what you term ascension symptoms.The energies which are being sent to your environment, and those which your planet is passing through, are causing minor discomforts in some, major discomforts in others, and still others, though few, are experiencing real pain.Of course the differences can be attributed to several things. Firstly, what is the condition of the body, mind, and spirit of the subject? That is you. How freely are you giving yourselves to the transition? How rapidly has your higher self and your soul determined that you should make this change? And do not overlook the possibility that there may be conditions which can and should be treated by your medicine.In many cases, however, your medicine cannot find or understand the conditions you are reporting. Pain and discomfort are signals, dear ones. Either signals of the existence of a condition or of the existence of resistance. The easiest thing to try would be for you to truly fling yourselves into the future with all your hearts. So much for resistance.But in many cases your bodies themselves are storing, unknown to you, fears, angers, resentments, resistances, and regrets from this life, prior lives, even those passed down to you in your DNA from those who came before you. "Well, how in the world am I to deal with that?", you ask. We shall give a few suggestions.To begin with, know that the unconditional love that is enveloping you now will eventually overcome all of those resistances and you will ascend if you have decided to do so. That may be sooner or it may be later. And patience is much easier when one is comfortable, is it not?You may decide to go it on your own and, through your meditations and prayers, seek out and solve the issues for yourselves. In this case, help is available through your connection to the Source of your being. But we suggest you not be like the one who insists he will be saved by the Almighty and ignores the rowboat that has been sent to save him from the flood.Lastly, dear ones, there are a great many "new" healing methods that have become available to you during these last years that can deal with these kinds of things in ways the your medicine has never learned to do. We have put the word new in quotes because they are simply things that are now being remembered by yourselves. They address these things through your energetic and spiritual side.Understand that when something is cleared for you on those levels, the effect must show up on your physical side. So if you are not wishing to live with the discomforts until they disappear on their own, then look for the type of healing that most resonates with your beliefs. We say that because, although it may not be the most powerful, it will be the one which your beliefs will allow to work for you. You can progress to another when you choose to.Beliefs, you see, are things which you have constructed, knowingly or not, in order to protect you. And in many cases, they can actually be that which is causing you problems. They are very often not in agreement with what you think you believe in your conscious minds.That may not sound possible to some of you, but we assure you it can be true. As an example, you may think that you trust your Creator with all your heart, but then ask yourself why you resist change or spend any time at all worrying about the future.So the final thought we would give you today is this. Wherever you are, and whatever your situation is, there is, somewhere in your physical or spiritual environment, help available if you want it. You can find it if you look for it. You will need to accept it when you find it. Ask yourself if perhaps your opinions do not stand in the way. Or is it perhaps that you are proud of being a loner?In any case, you are moving on. And the truth is, you are doing exactly what you need to do in this moment. That is because what you are doing will inevitably lead you eventually to where you have decided to go.We hold you in love this day and will speak again soon.Copyright © Ronald Head.

One that is far more ancient. Before we actually look into this 13-month lunar calendar, which our civilised world seems to have lost somehow, let's first have a look at the calendar that runs our lives today.The Gregorian CalendarThe Gregorian calendar which we currently use internationally (named after Pope Gregory the 13th) was a modification of the Julian calendar (named after Julius Caesar) and was introduced in 1582. The Gregorian calendar is in fact inaccurate, and in some respects arbitrary and irregular lacking any correspondence to the cycles of nature itself. Some months have 31 days, others 30 or even 28 days (as in February) which then once every four years gets an extra day. This lack of harmony, though generally un-examined, has a profound effect on the way we relate to the Universe we live within.Just something to ponder on: wonder why the months named September through December, which literally mean 7-10, are actually months 9-12?Our year consists of 12 months while only one month actually should run from one full moon to another, and of these type of months there are 13 per year. Originally there existed a thirteenth zodiac in the heavenly constellation by the name of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer. This zodiac was with the suppression of the thirteenth month.Thus the true zodiac is:Capricorn – Jan 20 to Feb 16 Aquarius – Feb 16 to Mar 11 Pisces – Mar 11 to Apr 18 Aries – Apr 18 to May 13 Taurus – May 13 to Jun 21 Gemini – Jun 21 to Jul 20 Cancer – Jul 20 to Aug 10 Leo – Aug 10 to Sep 16 Virgo – Sep 16 to Oct 30 Libra – Oct 30 to Nov 23 Scorpius – Nov 23 to Nov 29 Ophiuchus – Nov 29 to Dec 17 Sagittarius – Dec 17 to Jan 20Even the Vatican admitted that the Gregorian calendar is full of mistakes but this 'bad' calendar has a lot of influence on our lives. All our daily appointments, big events and plans or celebrations are made according to this mechanical, inaccurate western "time-planner". Unknowingly this has an energetic influence on our lives and that of humanity. People have less and less time and we have completely lost contact with the Source of Life. With time this can lead to depression, frustration and sometimes even lead to violence. It seems that the more we organize our lives, less time we have.The 12-month calendar hides the 13th moon. The number 13 today is surrounded by superstition and is considered taboo; unlucky; evil. This fear is reinforced by cultural antiquities like "friday the thirteenth." Often buildings have no 13th floor, or avoid constructing a # 13 apt unit. Why?The ancient Maya had an entirely different relationship to the number 13, actually referring to at as the Key to Time itself. 13 is the Mayan galactic prime number; the Force of The Universal Movement of Creation.The 13-Moon CalendarThe Maya had many different ways of counting and calculating time and making their calendars. They had calendars that represented the cycles of days, great cycles of years of which both were based on the movements of the earth. But they also had calendars that were based on the orbits of other planets.The 13-moon calendar is based on the motion of the earth around the sun, but also with regard to the movement of the moon and the movement of the stars. This calendar is synchronized with the Source itself. People who live according to this calendar often say that their life has entered a magical flow, and this flow we now call "Natural Time". In this flow we are all connected and there is no coincidence, nor distinction between 'here' and 'there' and between 'you' and 'I'. The Mayans also say: this means "I am another you." We are all connected.Time according to the Mayans is not represented by a line from A to B, but by a spiral. Each point on the spiral is connected via a vertical axis (the NOW-line) with a point in the past and a point in the future. This vertical NOW-axis indicates that the time on the next winding is also the NOW-time making time circular.As a "galactic constant" the 260-day cycle does not correspond to any known astronomical period, yet the number 260 functions as a cosmic common denominator to synthesize the cycles of the Sun, Moon, Earth, Mars, Mercury, and Venus. In essence, it is the key factor of all the planetary periods. The 260-day cycle also corresponds to the human gestation period of approximately 9 months, perfectly expressing its power as a cycle governing the unfolding of creation! We also see 260 in macro-cycles such as the grand, 26,000-year precession of the equinoxes, which author John Major Jenkins points out is like a "collective, spiritual gestation for humankind." Even eclipses relate by a number whose factor is 260! As Jenkins assures us in his insightful book "Tzolkin" – the 260-day cycle has "multiple meanings," as it applies to "celestial, biological, agricultural, mythological, and chronological processes.""Without the Thirteenth Moon; without placing the Thirteenth Moon back into our consciousness,we remain absolutely trapped in the complexification of form.With the 13th we have the transcendence and also the circulation of time." – Valum VotanSo to what rhythm do you let your heart beat … which calendar will run your life ???Maybe our Gregorian calendar is seriously to be reconsidered!!Please visit http://calendar13.com to convert today's date to the original 13 moon calendar.More info:Montague Keen channeling on Ophiuchus: http://www.galacticchannelings.com/english/montague05-06-11.html

|another proton error question

OK, so now I understand that we are using the standard errno philosophy in which: errno always contains the most recent error from anywhere within messenger code. ( and is iniialized to 0 on creation of messenger struct. ) But another part of this philosophy is: No system call (in our case, translate that to 'Messenger API call' or maybe 'Messenger function') ever sets errno to zero. Yet, I am seeing it get set to zero, sometimes. ( The only fn I have actually observed doing this so far is pn_output_write_amqp(), but there may be others ) Is there a reason why we depart from the standard errno philosophy here? Or is it just an oversight? If it's an oversight, I'd like to put something like assert(code); as the first line in pn_error_set(). If it's not an oversight, I'd like to know the reasoning so I can document it.

Ocean Beach People's Food Cooperative
An institution for over two decades in the San Diego community of Ocean Beach, The People's Co-op has a new 12,500 square foot, member owned community and neighborhood store and organic food grocery. Through extensive cooperation between the architects, staff, co-op members, and city planning boards, architectural firm Hanna Gabriel Wells succeeded in designing an up-to-date, sustainable, environmentally responsible green building which serves as a regional model of conscious construction. Goals for the project evolved from the idea of creating a healthy and spiritually positive environment for the people who work and shop there and for the community at large. The architecture was organized around the idea of creating a great open Market Hall filled with natural light and surrounded by spaces sharing in community of that main space. Building design incorporates low energy consumption, high efficiency equipment, new and used recycled materials, strong use of natural daylight and ventilation, open work environment, solar electricity production and of course safe building materials. AFM products were specified throughout the store, including Safecoat Metalcoat primer, New Wallboard HPV, Eggshell and Cabinet and Trim Enamels, Polyureseal BP and AFM Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil. The project architects were: Hanna, Gabriel, Wells Architects.

So how did I end up here? Well that is a great story.
Recently I was invited to come to Sarasota Florida for a chalk art festival. I had seen a link on a friend's page and got invited to come some eight months later. I thought I was just going to my first festival outside of Colorado. I had no idea what was awaiting me. I arrived, not really knowing anyone. I dove off into the unknown and found several of my friends from the Denver Chalk Art Festival there. Then I found out that not only was this my first festival, but it was truly international. The more I talked to people, and read the amazing magazine that was sold at the show, I found out that this festival was of the best and brightest, most talented street painters and chalk artists in the entire world! Did you know that about the Sarasota Chalk Festival? I didn't! The thing that was even more amazing was to find out
I was one of them. I was walking about my mentors and heroes. I was so ridiculously happy. I even took a video of the hotel because it was so great.
I made friends not just with these amazing artists but the people of Sarasota. There was a salon called Scott Thomas. They took me in, and helped me. I had a nice place to put my things, charge my little ipod, get in out of the sun when I was feeling a little overheated. I got to know their family and the daughter got to come chalk with me. It was her birthday and she is a budding artist. I can't tell you what it means to a young person who is those pre-teen years to have dozens of people tell them that what they are doing is amazing. I will let ANYONE chalk with me, including 3 year olds. Who knows how their lives will be inspired because they got to chalk with me. All I know is that it makes my heart swell to see them transform on the pavement, within minutes, from being afraid, to having confidence… in MINUTES. The power of that is huge. I don't have kids, but I can change a childs life, and so that is how I contribute to the future.
I had put down a little bio and pile of business cards next to my chalk art. One person who took my card saw that I am also a poet. He read nearly 100 of them, and asked me to be here with you. So serendipity has brought us here. She is a beautiful blessing that often graces my life. So I am glad she and Tom has brought me here to St. Augustine.
I am a documenter of the experiences in my life. I take pictures. I record video. I write blogs. I used to think that no one would believe that all of these things actually happened to me. I am grateful to the internet because it makes the world a real global village. I want to hear from you. I am all about interaction. If you come to care for me, then I will do the same. The world gets better through these connections. So I will share my poetry, chalk art, and adventures. And if it makes you smile, or think, then I have done my job.
Namaste' (the divine in me acknowledges the divine in you)

The Knicks and the Denver Nuggets are discussing a trade that would feature Marcus Camby and Nuggets point guard Nick Van Exel as the key components, according to a person with knowledge of Denver's negotiations.
No offers have been made, but the teams are discussing two scenarios. The first would send Camby and guard Mark Jackson to Denver for Van Exel and James Posey, an athletic 6-foot-8 swingman. The other would bring Van Exel and the versatile 6-foot-11 Raef LaFrentz to New York for Camby, Jackson. Another player, perhaps center Travis Knight or center Felton Spencer, might have to be thrown in to make it work under the rules of the league's collective bargaining agreement.
The Knicks are believed to prefer the second deal, while the Nuggets favor the first. Scott Layden, the Knicks' general manager, could not be reached for comment.
With the Feb. 21 trade deadline approaching, the Nuggets are mulling over several potential deals for Van Exel, the talented but disgruntled point guard who has asked to be traded. Three teams -- the Knicks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Toronto Raptors -- appear to be the most aggressive suitors.
The most likely trade at this point is believed to be Van Exel to Minnesota for Timberwolves point guard Terrell Brandon. Denver's general manager, Kiki Vandeweghe, believes Brandon and Antonio McDyess, the Nuggets' All-Star forward, would work well together.Continue reading the main story
The Nuggets have also talked with Toronto about trading Van Exel for forward Jerome Williams and point guard Chris Childs, the former Knick. But Toronto General Manager Glen Grunwald said yesterday that he did not foresee a deal.
''We've talked to Denver,'' Grunwald said. ''But I don't think we have anything going with them.''
It seems unlikely that the Knicks, who play tonight at Orlando, would trade Camby, a 6-11 forward, and Jackson for Van Exel and Posey because they would not be receiving a big man in return. They would perhaps want to replace Posey in the deal with the 6-10 center Scott Williams.
But the other scenario might be too lopsided in the Knicks' favor. Jackson could not come close to replacing the scoring and speed of Van Exel, and while Camby has done more in the league than LaFrentz, his history of injury makes him undependable. He is currently out for the rest of the month with a bruise and torn muscle in his right hip.
If the Knicks obtain Van Exel without giving up either of their perimeter stars, Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston, they will almost certainly begin playing a different style. They will be a near mirror image of the Milwaukee Bucks, one of the Eastern Conference favorites and the current leaders of the Central Division. Van Exel, Houston and Sprewell all average more than 18 points a game and would be every bit as good as Milwaukee's Big Three of Sam Cassell, Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson.
Even without Camby, the Knicks' frontcourt of Kurt Thomas, Clarence Weatherspoon and Othella Harrington would be nearly as strong as Milwaukee's. If the Knicks obtained LaFrentz, the league's second-leading shot blocker, it might be even better. LaFrentz averages 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots a game. He is a solid position defender inside, as opposed to Camby, who blocks shots while coming over from the weak side. LaFrentz, who is in his fourth season, is also the Nuggets' second-leading 3-point shooter, behind Van Exel.
A trade involving Van Exel and Camby would be the boldest move of Layden's 10-year career as a general manager in Utah and New York and would perhaps show how pressured he feels by the freefall of the Knicks (19-28). Though he is only in the third year of a seven-year deal worth $15 million to $20 million, Layden may need to pull off something big to save his job past this season.
While the Knicks would have interest in obtaining Charles Oakley if he is waived by Chicago, their chances of landing him might be slim. Oakley would certainly want to play for a playoff-bound team, and his friendship with Michael Jordan would make the resurgent Washington Wizards a more likely candidate. Orlando would also have interest in Oakley, and with his former Knicks teammates Doc Rivers and Patrick Ewing in Orlando, the Magic would have a strong shot as well.Continue reading the main story

Brandi Jaimes – A big, black cock for Brandi's tight ass
Released: January 5, 2017
Brandi Jaimes seduces the pool guy, sucks and fucks his big, black cock and has him shove it deep inside her tight 50-year-old ass in her return visit to 50PlusMILFs.com. As you'll see, she's not in our studio. She's at the pool, wearing a skimpy bathing suit and enjoying a hot, sunny day in South Florida. Brandi makes any day anywhere hotter. The woman could melt snow at the North Pole. And speaking of poles.. We love that Brandi used to be a stripper and was, in fact, a MILF stripper. We love the interview video at 50PlusMILFs.com in which she demonstrates how she gives a lap dance and also shows off her splits. What's so great about Brandi doing a split? She's not wearing panties. Anyway, Brandi is a wife, mother and grandmother.
