Wild Bill is a handsome 1 year old Orange/White boy. He was born to a feral mom and he was kind of wild as a kitten. He has settled down now and is ready for a forever home. He is very loving, would not do well with young kids, as he tends to be kind of skittish at loud noises. Other than that he is ready to come home and play with you!
SNAP Recommends
Wild Bill will be great in any type of home – but because of his skiddish nature we recommend caution in including with young children and other pets. He has no special needs and will make a very special addition to the family.
Like all SNAP pets, Wild Bill is neutered, up to date on shots and vaccinations, and micro-chipped. And ready to meet you at one of our adoption centers or by special appointment.
If you are interested in finding out more about Wild Bill, fostering or adoption, please email us at email@example.com. You can also apply for adoption online.

Hey, Jaden! What's goin' on?" asked Donny, the diner's owner. But Jaden wasn't paying attention to Donny. Because what he saw tore him apart inside. He saw Korey stand up from a table and give a young-looking guy that had been sitting across from her a kiss. She then turned around and saw him staring at her. Jaden looked at Griffen and Adrienne, and by the bewildered look on their faces he could tell that they saw what happened. They all speed-walked out of the diner.
"I'll drive." Griffen solemnly said. Jaden passed him the keys, and then proceeded to the back seat, while Griffen and Adrienne sat in the front. Griffen drove on as the radio meteorologist said something about a very large solar cloud coming tomorrow. Just another somebody rambling about something that'll never happen, Griffen thought, just like those 2012 idiots.
Jaden was having a terrible weekend. First, was the breakup. Second, was the utility bill. And last, he had a bad and strange dream. One dream was Jaden having been tied to a tree with a sillhouetted figure slashing at him with a sword, but not actually hitting him. The dead bodies of Griffen, Adrienne and some girl that he had never seen before in his life were laying around the dark figure's feet. Yeah, they were definitely creepy dreams. Jaden went and sat on his couch and flipped on the TV. It was the History channel talking about some alleged 2012 prophecy.
"Idiot," Jaden said aloud. Like Griffen, Jaden had his "doubts" about the world ending on December 21, 2012. He flipped to the weather. Jaden wanted to go for a walk. The weather man said that the weather would be very clear for most of the day, except he predicted that the large black cloud that was on the radio yesterday was going to reach Earth at about 10:30 a.m. Jaden had time. He headed out.
Jaden walked past the supermarket. He then passed the Dollar store. He eventually passed Griffen's house. Once he reached the train tracks he turned around. He turned toward his house. Once he reached Griffen's house he knocked the door. Griffen opened it.
"Hey, how are you?" Griffen asked.
Jaden replied, "Good. Walk with me will ya?"
Griffen said, "Sure." They walked to Jaden's house they talked about everything from sports to current events to back when they were in school. When they got to Jaden's house a dark shadow cast over eveything as far as the eye could see. At one point Jaden thoght he saw an even darker shadow with a humanoid shape, but he couldn't be sure. The shadow was suddenly gone. Jaden checked the time on his phone.
"It can't be!" Jaden exclaimed. "It's only 9:30! The weatherman said it'd be here around 10:30." Jaden then noticed a small black orb of some sort. "What's that?" Jaden asked. Griffen then moved toward it and reached down to grab it. Jaden suddenly had a vision of the dream he'd been having. "No!" He screamed. But it was too late. Griffen picked up the orb. Then he sst it back down. Griffen turned toward Jaden. Griffen swung the first punch at Jaden.

Around the narrow streets of Baltimore's Little Italy yesterday, the O'Malley and Ehrlich placards were still hanging proudly in the windows of restaurants and Formstone rowhouses.
But no one was talking about the men who duked it out in the race to become Maryland's next governor. Instead, neighbors were buzzing with pride about one of their own, Nancy Pelosi, who is likely to become the nation's first female speaker of the House.They remembered the shy girl who wasn't allowed on a date without one of her five brothers along as chaperone. They recalled the gracious teenager who never assumed she was better than any of the other neighborhood kids just because her father was Thomas J. D'Alesandro Jr., a legendary Baltimore mayor
And they marveled that "Little Nancy," who they said took after her iron-willed mother, also known as Nancy, is poised to ascend to the post that is third in line for the presidency.
"I ate chocolate pudding with Nancy and watched Howdy Doody at night," said Mary Ann Campanella, 65, who still lives two blocks from the D'Alesandro home, which is at 245 Albemarle St. "That's how far back I go with Nancy."
The families actually go back further. In 1930, Pelosi's father was the best man in the wedding of Campanella's parents, she said, holding up a sepia-toned wedding portrait. The ceremony was held at St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church, which has been the center of tight-knit Little Italy.
"I'm bursting with pride for Nancy," said Campanella, president of the Little Italy Community Organization. "To have her out of this small community, an Italian-American female to hold the third-largest position in our country, I want to say it's breathtaking to me."
When Campanella learned that Pelosi, 66, a married mother of five and grandmother of five who represents San Francisco, was likely to become House speaker, she was in awe.
"I turned to my husband and said, `A little girl from Little Italy, could you believe it'?"
The tiny neighborhood with its score of Italian restaurants draws tourists and local residents. And to Little Italy natives, the D'Alesandro family is as much a fixture as St. Leo's, summertime bocce tournaments and the Feast of St. Gabriel.
Two mayors
Pelosi's father, known as "Tommy the Elder," was a congressman, then Baltimore's mayor from 1947 to 1959. Her brother, Thomas J. D'Alesandro III, "Tommy the Younger" was Baltimore's mayor from 1967 to 1971. And her mother, Annunciata, ran a tight ship raising six children while serving as the unofficial power in the family Democratic machine.
Pelosi was the youngest child and only daughter in a family that seemed to always be the community's center of attention.
"You could just open their door and walk in and socialize," said Angie Guerriero, 74, who grew up several blocks from the D'Alesandro home. "Or they were at our house. We shared jokes. In those days, there wasn't much else to do. They were just fine people."
Guerriero and her husband, John, who live a block from St. Leo's, are Pelosi supporters and offer moral and financial support for her political campaigns.
John Guerriero happily displayed a photo taken at a St. Leo's function two years ago showing him standing beside Pelosi.
"We just believed in her," he said. "She's just a beautiful, charismatic person. You just couldn't not believe in her."
John Guerriero's first call yesterday morning was to congratulate Pelosi's brother Thomas J. D'Alesandro III.
"She deserved it," he said, "She'll do a heck of a job."
D'Alesandro said he talked to his sister three times Tuesday night as the votes were being counted around the country and political power was shifting to the Democrats, meaning she is likely to become House speaker.
"She was so thrilled, and I was so proud of her," he said yesterday. "She's a trailblazer. And you have to understand, she brings to the table a set of credentials that are not matched by many in Congress."
D'Alesandro said Pelosi was a polite child who developed a head for politics as an adolescent, along with the rest of the family.
'Strict taskmaster'
When she was growing up, a first-floor room of the family home was converted into a constituent office for Tommy the Elder, and each child took turns at the desk for two hours a day. Failure to report for duty meant that "you were replaced," D'Alesandro said. "My mother was a strict taskmaster."
Pelosi thrived in the position.
"When Nancy turned 13, she took over," he said. "She was just perfect. She loved it."
Pelosi was also remembered outside Little Italy at the Institute of Notre Dame, where Pelosi graduated. The school is the alma mater of another prominent politician from Baltimore, Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski.
Sister Mary Fitzgerald, president of the Institute of Notre Dame, said students there have been inspired by the legacy left by the two politicians.
"It's truly an honor to have two women in such outstanding positions in the U.S. Congress," she said. "It's not every day that a school has that. We are very proud."
Charles Sudano, 64, who lives on High Street, around the corner from the D'Alesandro home, said he was not only proud, but also impressed at the quiet girl who grew up to become a political powerhouse. He said his sister Jackie and Pelosi were "inseparable."
"My father used to scare the heck out of her," he said. "He'd say, `Nancy eat more pizza. You're too skinny.'"
'She's tough now'
"She was real timid, a real nice girl," he said. "She was a little princess. But she's strong now. She's tough now."
In a neighborhood where loyalty mattered, "she never had that thing, you know, `My father's the mayor' thing. She didn't have that snobby thing," Sudano said. "Besides, we would never let her get away with that."

Let's face it; eventually those kids are going to get too big for that weird leash you've been toting them around on in public places all over America. Thankfully T-Mobile has launched some services that cater to the overbearing parent in the 21st century.
T-Mobile's FamilyWhere app offers both free and paid versions of its tracking service. FamilyWhere Check In is a free service that allows kids to manually send text message check-ins with their location.
FamilyWhere Locate costs $9.99 for up to 10 lines and adds additional functionality. Under this plan parents can automatically locate the other phones on the plan as well as schedule automatic location checks.
Of course, FamilyWhere only works when the phone is on and in a T-Mobile service area, so the old "movies" dodge should work just fine for teens looking to circumvent the system. You know, because it is very rude to keep your phone on during a film. *wink*

'Dome' cast members have made the region a home away from home
Colin Ford may play Joe, one of the main characters on CBS' locally shot summer series "Under the Dome," but when he is in town filming, he likes to think of himself as just another Wilmington resident.
"I was really excited to go back to Wrightsville Beach and Tower 7 when we started season two," Ford said. "And Jungle Rapids. I love going go-karting and playing laser tag. It's just fun.."
Ford is just one of the many "Dome" cast members who have made the region a home away from home of sorts since returning in March to film the show's second season, premiering 10 p.m. Monday.
Dean Norris, who plays Big Jim Rennie on the show, said his family, including wife Bridget and their five children, have joined him in Wrightsville Beach this summer, which makes vacationing a little easier when he isn't shooting or pulled out of town on short trips.
"Wrightsville Beach is just a really fantastic place to spend the summer," Norris said. "I couldn't imagine a better place to be."
Echoing several of his costars, Norris is a fan of Tower 7, a Mexican restaurant in Wrightsville Beach that is a popular hangout for visiting film and television talent.
Mackenzie Lintz, who plays Norrie on "Dome," is possibly the cast's biggest champion for the restaurant, admitting that she can be found there every week.
"I love Tower 7," Lintz said, laughing. "I'm there all the time. When I bring people to town, I take them to Tower 7."
The Wrightsville Beach area as a whole is high on Lintz's list of favorite local hotspots.
"I live in Wrightsville Beach when we are filming, so it is really easy for me, on my days off, to just walk down to the beach or to the restaurants there," she said.
Having spent last summer in the region filming season one, Ford, Norris and Lintz all had their favorite spots in mind when they returned this spring. But for the new cast members, they needed a little time to take in their new surroundings.
For newcomer Grace Victoria Cox, who joins the show this season as the mysterious Melanie, nabbing her first role meant heading to a new city and an already established show with a close-knit cast and crew. But thanks to Lintz, she got crash course to filming in Wilmington early on.
Their friendship began before Cox even made it to town for the show. After it was announced that she had scored the role of Melanie, who will recur throughout the new season, Lintz immediately messaged Cox on Twitter and congratulated her.
"We exchanged numbers and started talking and she began telling me what Wilmington was like and everything I needed to know," Cox said. "Thanks to her, I didn't come into town and this show totally unaware of how things would be. She's the best."
While she is still trying to get her bearings in Wilmington, Cox said she already finds herself gravitating towards Boombalatti's Ice Cream in the Mayfaire area.
When Karla Crome, who plays schoolteacher Rebecca, made her way to town, she stuck close to fellow new cast members Cox and Eddie Cahill, who plays Big Jim's brother-in-law Sam.
"It was really great to start the series with Eddie and Grace because they are both new as well," the London native said. "We kind of have been feeling things out together a lot of the time. But everyone who was already on the show have been so generous and nice to us."
Although Crome wasn't quite sure what to expect from her first trip to North Carolina, she has been pleasantly surprised with the Port City.
"It is a gorgeous town and I am having a lovely time," Crome said.

I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I got a random text last night from a random number (not my area code, nor was it local so it wasn't an ex) and the number said, "karma is a bitch, and they called me by my full name. Which gives me the creeps. I called my phone company and had them blocked, but they know my name and number what else do they know, you know! Sooo, I'm freaked out, my friends keep telling me to just let it go it was someone being stupid but I don't know.I did something last year that was against the law.. I use to lead lets just say "a different life" it was illegal but had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. Any advice? Should I be scared or is it someone childish.. id rather not go to jail over something in my past...
Most Helpful Guy
I would judge how seriously to take the text by how serious the crime was. Perhaps your phone company could inform you of where the individual is situated. Like where the area code is from and see if your illegal activities would have dealt with that area. It is definitely creepy and you may want to double check your Facebook privacy settings to make sure people who aren't your friends can't find out information about your address etc.
That's pretty messed up all in all though. I'm mad curious about what you did now lol.00|00|0
here ill message it to u

you'll see that its not extremely serious or anything

"Hi Sandy,
Things are going great. I recieved the Retinol Night Creme. My skin in general is doing great. I wore makeup all day on Sunday. I notice at 7:00pm Sunday night, I could touch my face, and it wasn't slick with oil. My makeup didn't look cakey or fake, and the only thing I have changed is using your skin care products, and of course the supplements you recommended. I am looking forward to the next few weeks to see how much better it gets."-Live, Love, Laugh, Kimberly Wibbenmeyer, Perryville, MO

Viewtiful Joe 2 - Walkthrough
**UPDATE** (at top of walkthrough, below my email): ~~~~~This is a 100% SPOILER FREE walkthrough!~~~~~ (also to be added, add the numbers and characters in the brackets to the right of part and section intros) (at bottom of contents, before rows of @s and #s): *The Alastor battles are skipped in this sequence. @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@# PART ONE: BEFORE WE BEGIN@=====-----BWB1 @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@# Section I: Version History ==========================-----0001 (to be added two lines underneath the last line of Version 1.0): Version 1.1 - May 2, 2005.

Captain Blue warns Joe that the world will fall in peril two more times. Joe, awestruck, sets his eyes on the current threat. As Joe prepares for his triumphant descent, he is interrupted by his girlfriend, Silvia. She states that she wants to be part of the action, too -- not just the damsel of distress watching from the sidelines -- and eventually talks Captain Blue into giving her a V-Watch as well! As she straps on the watch, she is transformed into Sexy Silvia and assists Joe on the way to ridding the earth of the new menace. As the pair make their stylish entrance, stealing the spotlight and way more, they are introduced to an ominous-looking spacecraft that Joe is just dying to take for a spin! The equally ominous voice booming through the spacecraft down to the puny noggins of Joe and Silvia state that its one and only goal is to retrieve what is called the 'Rainbow Oscars' and take over Movie Land. It is also here that our heroes know that it is none other than the Gedow who is there new nemeses. Will the evil Gedow wreak havoc upon the already- insane Movie Land -- and turn it into Movie WORLD -- or will Viewtifulness once again triumph?

Here are some basic tips and tricks essential to triumph and salvation in grace and style. 00A2 #1) DODGE & SLOW The most basic VJ tactic ever. This is simply essential if you even want to get a decent rank on any given scene (or at least most of them). Dodge the skull icon the enemy lashes out at your hero and dodge upwards if the skull icon is low and downwards if the skull icon is high, respect- ively. For the lesser enemies, this will almost certainly stun them. Now's your chance. Smash 'em with a bone-bustin' punch or kick, or even a deadly gun blast (with Silvia). This makes cross- hairs appear over all other enemies onscreen. You know what that means? Yup. That's your cue to go loco. To go insane. To go utterly and ultimately beserk on everything in the current enviornment! Build up on several hits on enemies increases the total number of Viewtifuls (you could call this the main currency of the game, more on it later) and will add to your total count for the entire scene. This is almost just as effective as more formidable enemies, but will likely require more total dodges and hits to fully destroy them. #2) THE BOSSES' BREAD AND BUTTER When going up against those dreadful, half-a-dozen -health-bar bosses, you'll need a main form of attack to eventually doze away their health. And that formula is a Zoomed-In, Slowed down punch as Joe. This is a very effective method as I have used it from the very beginning and have gone pretty far with it. Just hold down Y, L, and push the C-Stick up once (or press B), and let their health bars drain! **More tips to be added soon. @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@# #@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@ @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@# Section IV: Lesser Enemies ==========================-----0003 This section will be added sometime later this week.

Twenty-two Ways to Strengthen Peer Relationships
What one word would your co-workers use to describe you? Beth Beutler of H.O.P.E
You're REALLY busy. No time for lunch. Better to grab some almonds and a diet coke and work through. The time you save at lunch gets you home sooner to your family. I'm with you. In fact when I was pregnant, my assistant announced she had blocked 30 minutes for me every day to walk to the cafeteria for lunch. I was allowed to move the appointment, but not delete it, for the sake of the baby. Oh
Don't destroy fantastic results with lazy relationships. Strong performers grow backwards when trust breaks down. Small issues mushroom overnight. Peers stop helping. Communication collapses.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains generally to surveillance systems, and more particularly to surveillance systems that communicate with surveillance devices over a power-line network within the associated structure.
2. Description of Related Art
The use of area surveillance by surveillance systems has been on the increase. In particular, residential surveillance systems are in particularly high demand. Conventional systems, however, are difficult and expensive to install in existing structures, as installation requires both the installation of a control center and video imagers (i.e., video cameras), along with the routing of cables interconnecting the equipment.
Problems also arise with regard to connecting multiple video imaging devices within current systems, in particular when utilizing analog video feeds which generally require a separate cable connection for each video imager. Another set of issues surrounds the use of digital networks, (i.e., Ethernet), wherein bandwidth limitation and cost factors arise. Although the cost of video imagers (i.e., charge-coupled device (CCD) imagers) has dropped below one hundred dollars per unit; the cost of control centers, monitors, and time lapse recording devices are still generally beyond what many consumers, and some commercial institutions, can reasonably justify.
Therefore, a need exists for a surveillance system that is inexpensive and can be deployed easily in residential and cost-sensitive commercial installations. The present invention satisfies those needs, as well as others, and overcomes the deficiencies of previously developed surveillance systems.
This invention is a surveillance system utilizing a server that receives video streams from video surveillance equipment and controls the display of surveillance information to a user or sent to a video recording device. Video streams are received by the server, over the AC power-line, from video surveillance equipment that communicates using power-line communication (PLC). The server is configured for controlling how the video streams are presented to a user or stored on a video recording device. The system can support passing multiple surveillance streams over the PLC network, wherein the server can allocate bandwidth for the streams based on predetermined and event driven settings.
The surveillance system according to the invention is particularly well suited for use in the residential surveillance market. A user can readily install a video camera anywhere a power outlet exists, because communications are routed over the power lines within the residence (or commercial building). The user need not route cabling to any of the video imagers or other devices to be connected within the system. The power connection and communication connection for each device (i.e., video camera, display, etc.) are provided for by simply plugging the video camera into an AC power outlet.
The term "video" is utilized herein in its broadest sense, and may comprise a video sequence with or without sound, low rate video sequences, sequenced image shots, along with other image forms received during surveillance.
When multiple streams are passed over the AC power-line, the present invention can perform dynamic bandwidth allocation, wherein the bandwidth allocated for each video imaging device, or other device, connected to the AC power-line network is modulated in response to predetermined and event-driven settings. Bandwidth allocation is performed by modulating bandwidth related configuration of the devices connected to the power-line network, such as video imaging devices. By way of example, bandwidth related configuration of the video imaging device may comprise setting video controls such as color depth (i.e., color/monochrome selection and number of bits per pixel), image size, image resolution, framing rate, and combinations thereof.
Allocation of bandwidth may follow predetermined bandwidth selections, such as in response to user prioritization of image feeds from video imaging devices. Allocation may be driven by events, separately or in combination with user selection. By way of example, one form of event that can drive bandwidth allocation within the present system is that of a motion detection event, preferably generated by a video imaging device, or in association with a location nearby the video imaging device. Dynamic bandwidth allocation, and other aspects of the invention, allows the system to support the use of multiple video cameras within the bandwidth constraints of the power line, without resorting to the routing of high speed optical fiber connections or other similar high-bandwidth connections.
The present system utilizes a residential network server, such as integrated within a consumer electronics device (i.e., television, set-top box, video recorder, or similar) as a control center unit and storage device (i.e., hard-disk drive or other mass storage device) for the surveillance system, eliminating the need to purchase expensive time lapse video recorders.
From a user perspective, it will be appreciated that with the present invention they need never again miss clear video images during any emergency situation. By sending commands to the server the user can control the video cameras communicating over the power-line network and the presentation of the surveillance information. For example the user can communicate commands to the server using a wireless remote control (i.e., infrared optical, or radio frequency), such as utilized for controlling their living room television set. Additionally, the system can provide remote monitoring over a remote communication medium, such as telephone or Internet connectivity. No additional devices are required to implement the surveillance system, such as time lapse equipment, video recorders, controllers, image control consoles, and so forth.
The server for the present system may be hosted by a conventional computer server, however, it should be appreciated that many other devices may contain suitable storage and processing hardware within which programming according to the present invention may be executed for performing the functions of the surveillance server described according to the present system. By way of example and not limitation, these systems include television sets, gaming consoles, set top boxes, video recording systems, and so forth.
The present invention may be generally described as a system for providing area surveillance, comprising: (a) at least one video imaging device configured for transmitting a video data stream over an AC power-line; (b) a video display interface device; and (c) means for receiving said video data stream from said AC power-line and controlling presentation of said received video data stream as passed to said video display interface device for storage or presentation to a user. A server provides the means for receiving the data stream and controlling presentation, and when multiple surveillance video data streams are available it dynamically allocates the AC power-line bandwidth for the video imaging devices, such as by controlling their video framing rates, resolution, color mode, and so forth.
Preferably the video display interface is integrated within a computer server, which preferably comprises a computer operating as a video server. The server can communicate video streams over the power line and is optionally configured for transmitting video data streams over a remote communication link to a location outside of the local PLC network which is typically beyond the communication range of said AC power line. It will be appreciated that PLC network communication has a range that is generally limited to a local area, such as within a residence. The remote communication link allows communicating with remote devices over a form of wide-area network (i.e., telephone, cable, wireless telephone network). The computer server operates according to selections made by the user in response to interaction by a user interface which captures user commands for controlling the collection and display of the video streams.
When communicating with remote devices outside of the power-line interface, the system preferably incorporates means of authenticating an authorized user, such as the decrypting of communications with the remote electronic device in response to the entry of a proper identifier.
Video imagers for use within the present system can be generally described as an apparatus for imaging an area under video surveillance, comprising: (a) an image sensor; (b) a communications interface configured for communicating over an AC power-line with a server, wherein dynamic bandwidth allocations are received from the server, and video signals from the image sensor subject to the dynamic bandwidth allocation are transmitted to the server. Preferably the video imager encodes the video signals into a format according to a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video format. In addition, the video imager preferably senses motion and communicates that motion over the AC power-line to the computer server.
Computer servers for serving the video within the present invention may be generally described as an apparatus for controlling video surveillance, comprising: (a) a power-line interface configured for communicating over an AC power-line with remote video imaging devices; (b) a user interface configured for capturing user preferences for controlling the collection and display of the video streams; and (c) a computer server configured for allocating bandwidth to remote video imaging devices and receiving video streams subject to the bandwidth allocation over the power-line interface, wherein the computer server is also configured to communicate these video streams for storage and/or display device according to user preferences.
The computer server preferably also comprises a data storage device within which selected portions of video streams may be stored, and a remote communications interface configured for communicating the video streams received within the computer server to a remote user at a location beyond the range or extent of the power-line interface.
The surveillance system according to the present invention may be implemented as programming for execution on a computer which has the necessary PLC network interface, processing power, communication, and storage hardware to execute the server functionality. The programming may be resident within programmed circuits, computer readable media (i.e., physical media or content distributed such as by downloading), or combinations thereof, without departing from the teachings herein.
By way of further illustration the invention may be generally described as a method of providing area surveillance, comprising: (a) generating video signals in response to video surveillance of one or more areas; (b) communicating the video signals over an AC power line subject to dynamic bandwidth allocation; (c) receiving the video signals within a computer server connected to the AC power line; and (d) communicating selected portions of the video signals from the computer server to a display in response to predetermined or event driven criterion. The method preferably also includes storing select elements of the video signals and altering bandwidth allocation for video signals in response to predetermined or event driven criterion, such as the detection of motion.
A number of aspects of the present invention are described herein, it should be appreciated that these aspects may be implemented separately or in various combinations thereof, without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

1. System Descriptions
1.1 Surveillance System
Power lines 12 are utilized as a power-line communication (PLC) network 12 within a residence (or business) for allowing server 16 to communicate with various remote devices. By way of example, a few video cameras 20, 22, 24 are depicted which are configured for transmitting a video stream to server 16 over power-line network 12. It should be appreciated that different forms of clients may be attached to server 16 over power-line network 12, such as video clients (displays), video camera clients, audio clients, sensor clients, and numerous other forms of devices. Video cameras may send audio and/or video streams to server 16, while server 16 is configured to send control commands but not streams to the video cameras.
1.2 Video Cameras
A control processor 40 for the video camera, such as a central processing unit (CPU), microprocessor (MPU), or high density logic circuitry, is preferably connected through an internal bus 42 to other functional blocks. Control processor 40 can access memory 44 within which is stored programming for executing the control program, and generally data entries, stack space, scratchpad memory, and configuration variables. Commands for video camera 20 are received through PLC interface 34 and communicated to control processor 40, which can likewise communicate status and other information, as well as providing video signal feed, back to server 16.
In response to commands from control processor 40, encoder 30 can preferably adjust at least the resolution and frame rate of the encoded pictures being returned to server 16. These adjustments allow fulfilling dynamic bandwidth allocations determined by the server, such as in response to predetermined or event-driven settings. An as example of bandwidth control, consider an example wherein control processor 40 receives a high-resolution command from server 16 which controls encoder 30 to change the output resolution to 720�480 from 360�240 pixels. By way of further example, in the case of a low-rate command, encoder 30 may change the frame rate from 30 frames/second to 5 frames/second. Other aspects of the video transmission may also be controlled by encoder 30 to fulfill a desired dynamic bandwidth allocation, such as the selection of a color mode or a monochrome mode which reduces video bandwidth. Furthermore, encoder 30 may optionally perform feature enhancement, light optimization, and so forth to enhance the video from the imager and/or to extract additional information from the image stream. In the embodiment described, the encoding parameters are preferably sent based on the MPEG standard, allowing automatic decoding of mode selection for the received video within server 16.
A motion sensor 46 is also shown connected to control processor 40 which detects motion typically in the field of view of imager 26. Other sensors may be utilized additionally, or as an alternative, to motion sensor 46, such as infrared sensors, pyroelectric detectors, audio detectors, and so forth. Motion sensor 46 sends a signal to control processor 40 in response to detected motion, which communicates the condition to server 16. Server 16 may respond to the detection of motion by changing the prioritization of the video camera input and/or assigning a larger bandwidth to the video camera input.
It should be appreciated that other methods may be relied upon for sensing motion. By way of example, if encoder 30 is implemented for encoding video in an MPEG format, it will extract motion vectors for each video block as part of the encoding process. When no motion exists in the frame, all the motion vectors are zero. Encoder 30 may be adapted to transmit a signal to control processor 40 in response to motion vectors crossing a given threshold value. This motion threshold value being set sufficiently high so as not to be exceeded by activation or deactivation of lighting, the flight of insects and moths in the field of view, and other common non-threatening motion scenarios.
Another solution for motion detection is to utilize a high-pass filtered (i.e., differential) video signal which is converted to digital in signal processor 28, with a result being added up and a total value obtained at each frame. The value is monitored, and in response to fluctuations beyond a predetermined, or computed threshold value, signal processor 28 sends a signal informing control processor 40 of the detected motion. As an alternative to determining a total value, the maximum value in a frame may be employed for motion sensing. These few examples being provided by way of illustration, wherein it should be appreciated that motion may be detected in a number of alternative ways known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
1.3 Server
By way of example the video data stream received by PLC interface 52 may arrive from video camera 20, 22, 24 as shown in
The system of the invention may be controlled by the user in a number of ways, for example a set of user inputs 84 is shown connecting through an interface 86. User input 84 may comprise a simple keypad, a keyboard, a pointing device, or any other convenient user interface supported by server 16. Additionally, a wireless communication port 88 is preferably supported which by way of example can receive commands from an infrared remote control device 90, such as for controlling a television set or video recorder.
Modem 92, or other remote network communication interface, is configured for communicating from the server to the environment beyond the power-line network, such as through the Internet. Modem 92 allows the system to operate in a larger context, for example as a server providing remote access to authorized parties, or as a client of external services. Remote access allows a person, such as a homeowner, to be remotely alerted to conditions at their residence, to control aspects of the system, and to view or otherwise monitor household activity, such as video streams generated by the surveillance video cameras. When operating as a client, services may be utilized from a network, such as the Internet, for example extracting data from database services, communicating with security personnel at a central station, downloading new system and device drivers or parametric data, and so forth.
It should be appreciated that the surveillance system of the present invention may be integrated within consumer electronic devices which have been configured with the requisite communication, decoding, storage, and display capabilities. As an example, an embodiment as so far described above may be considered to be integrated within a television set, or set-top box, having Internet connectivity and a power-line interface as described.
A tuner front-end 94 may be coupled to or within server 16 for providing television reception, and playback from video and/or audio systems having RF output. Tuner front-end 94 receives an RF signal from an antenna, satellite down-converter, or a cable network passing it to decoder 62, which in combination with memory 64, decodes the demodulated signal for display. It should be appreciated that television style programming may be received from the reception of broadcast televised programming, as well as cable based or satellite based television programming. The system may also record the video stream, wherein decoder 62 sends the stream to data storage device 78 through bus 56. To replay the video stream, decoder 62 in combination with memory 64, receives the video stream from data storage device 78, and/or the stream may be communicated over modem 92, or over the power-line network 12 to external displays and/or audio or video equipment.
The incorporation of the surveillance system within a television or set-top box unit, or similar, can provide a nexus of benefits. By way of example, a user watching the television, or a television connected to the system, can be alerted on-screen when motion is sensed by one of the video cameras. For instance, a small window may be opened on the video screen in response to detected motion upon which the video stream is displayed from the associated video camera. The user may then elect how they want to deal with the situation, and may zoom the video camera stream window up to full-size and view other video camera streams, and control other operations under the direction of the surveillance system, or even connect through the modem to external networks such as telephone or the Internet, such as summoning help.
Alternatively, one or more overlapped small screens may be displayed continuously in a portion of the screen showing selected video feeds while the user watches television or other programming on the remainder of the screen. These small screens can be selected to zoom them to full size, when appropriate. It should be appreciated that a number of additional features are inherent in combining the surveillance system of the present invention with other consumer electronic devices, as will be obvious to one skilled in the art. Integrating functionality in this manner provides a number of benefits as outlined above.
1.4 Bandwidth Control
Server 16 manages bandwidth utilization within PLC network 12. Toward optimizing utilization of bandwidth, the devices connected to the server over PLC network 12 send a request for bandwidth assignment prior to sending a data stream. Central processor 58 within server 16 receives bandwidth requests from devices on the PLC network while having its own set of transmission requests for sending data out to devices connected on the PLC network, such as displays, annunciators, and so forth. Allocation is determined in response to these requests by central processor 58 within server 16 toward optimizing bandwidth use based on priority and size considerations.
Consider the example of two bandwidth requests, for streams X and stream Y. Although stream X may be of slightly higher priority than stream Y, the relative priority of communicating stream X in color (as opposed to monochrome) is probably less than the importance of communicating stream Y in monochrome. The allocation routines, therefore, preferably take into account the incremental priorities of the request, wherein an action may be defined by a number of priorities, allowing tradeoffs to be made readily between priority and bandwidth. Additionally, the associated data sizes of a data transfer may be taken into account when appropriate. By way of example, consider a request for transmitting a block of control information to a device. The control information may be of lower priority than a given stream, but since the control information may include only about one hundred bytes while the stream is continuous using about over a hundred thousand bytes per second, it is probably more important to pass the few control bytes while dropping stream bandwidth (at least for a short time), or delaying transmission, or taking other bandwidth reducing measures. One preferred method of handling short blocks of control data considering their generally small size is to automatically allocate bandwidth for them at higher priority than any streams, wherein the allocation routine is not bogged down with working out priorities on small data blocks.
Consider an example of bandwidth control, wherein it is assumed that the total bandwidth of the PLC network 12 is eight megabits per second (8 Mbps) according to a payload rate, while server 16 sends a five megabits per second (5.0 Mbps) video stream to a data storage media on a client, such as for a timer recording (not shown). In this scenario the highest priority (i.e., priority=1) may be given to the timer-recording stream, with inputs from video camera 20, 22, 24 being at a lower priority (i.e., priority=2) and held to sending video streams at a one megabits per second (1.0 Mbps) rate from each video camera (i.e., priority level of two). This situation is listed in Table 1.
Consider that video camera 24 then detects a motion, wherein it communicates the detected motion to 16, which raises the priority of video camera 24 (i.e., priority changes from 2 to 1), while lowering the priority of the timer-recording stream (i.e., priority changed from 1 to 2), and dropping the priority of video cameras 20, 22 down to even a lower priority (i.e., priority=3). This example situation of bandwidth reallocation is listed in Table 2.
Bandwidth allocation may occur with server 16 sending a command to video camera 24 requesting a video stream rate of four megabits per second (4.0 Mbps) from the current one megabit per second. In response video camera 24 raises video resolution and/or frame rate. If the new bandwidth supplied does not support the higher resolution or higher frame rate, the video camera may for example raise only the picture quality, allowing the user to view captured motion at a higher quality.
In response to cessation of detected motion by video camera 24, it may send a signal to server 16 requesting the bandwidth be returned to the original data rate, wherein video camera 24 would alter picture resolution, frame rate and picture quality to the original setting when commanded to do so by server 16. By way of example and not of limitation, bandwidth for each device may be set to default values as listed in Table 1.
Utilizing this bandwidth control mechanism, or a similar scheme, the limited network bandwidth is efficiently utilized allowing more devices, such as video imagers (video cameras), to be installed on the given network. In addition bandwidth allocation provides a means for regulating the rate at which recording space, such as in a hard disk drive, is being consumed. It should be appreciated that video imagers adapted for operation within the present system, may be configured to communicate a video stream only in response to detecting a valid trigger condition, such as the detection of motion, for example when someone approaches and/or attempts to break into an area under surveillance. This approach eliminates the collection and display of video streams of static image conditions, such as empty rooms and entryways, and reduces storage requirements. Alternatively, the system may buffer video streams for some period of time, without displaying them to a user. If the video camera is then triggered by sufficient detected motion, the prior segment of video is available and may be stored with the video that was collected after the motion trigger.
1.5 Remote Monitoring
A beneficial optional feature of the present surveillance system is that of providing remote monitoring by the surveillance system, such as utilizing a modem to communicate to a remote location over the Internet. In this way an authorized user can access surveillance data, such as viewing surveillance video from each video camera, and control the operations and configuration of the surveillance system. For example, in response to detecting motion by one of the video cameras, the server can initiate a communication to one or more authorized users over a telephone number, such as a cellular phone number. The user may view video over the small video screen of the phone to monitor the situation. The user may elect to then call a neighbor, a security company, or the sheriff's department. The system can be configured to allow the user to communicate commands for controlling the system using key entry, voice commands, menu navigation and so forth.
According to one optional aspect of the system the user can select to have input from a microphone, such as the microphone on a cellular phone, to be directed for output from one or more audio annunciators at the area under surveillance. This ability can provide concrete evidence to a suspected intruder that they are being watched, whereupon they are more likely to take their leave.
By way of example, the system may be configured to generate an alert to the user when someone approaches a secured area, such as the front door, which may be optionally qualified by registering a doorbell activation or door knocking. Upon being triggered in this manner, the system is preferably configured to allow the user to interact with the party at the door, if they so desire. The system in this mode can operate as a form of intercom for communicating with persons remotely.
The remote communication can be utilized for allowing a remote security company to monitor activity from the surveillance system and to take appropriate actions. For example, the security company may view and/or record the incoming video stream, such as to a hard disk drive, wherein security personnel are alerted and some evidence made available, despite subsequent disconnection or damage to the surveillance system by an intruder.
The communication with remote services by the server is preferably encrypted, wherein a password or other suitable authorization token (i.e., PIN, bio-metric data about user, and so forth) is required to decrypt the information. The remote capabilities allow a user that is at work or on vacation to rest secure in the knowledge that their residence is being monitored and that they will be notified in the event that a possible problem is detected, whereupon they may take corrective actions.
2. Optional Aspects
It should be appreciated that devices connected to the PLC network according to the invention may be electronically commanded by the server to execute any desired additional functionality. By way of example and not of limitation, zooming, tilting or panning capabilities of the video camera in addition to the control of video modes and encoding as described above. The user may modulate the video camera angle (positioning and zooming) with a remote control, or utilizing a remote communication device, such as a phone, PDA, or computer system, to see whatever is of interest.
Remote content storage may be provided for the system, wherein content is communicated to a remote data storage unit, preferably located in a hidden location within the same building, such as a hard disk drive subsystem installed within the attic of a house and communicating over a wired, or more preferably a wireless connection, with the server. Video data may be buffered within the remote content storage system, wherein video and other data may be saved that precedes a trigger event, such as motion, but is otherwise discarded. The surveillance information (evidence) is therefore kept secure from intruders.
It should be appreciated that wireless communication networks or other forms of network connectivity may be less preferably utilized, instead of the PLC network, without departing from the teachings of the present invention. It should be appreciated that the PLC network may be utilized in combination with wireless networking or other forms of networking to provide adequate coverage for the site. By way of example, a remote solar-powered video camera may be connected to the surveillance system over a wireless link connecting into the server or connected into the PLC network.
The system can be configured to scroll through video camera images on a periodic basis, wherein the image from each video camera is shown for a given length of time on a cyclical basis. This is equivalent to an equal prioritization of inputs.
The system can be configured for prioritization of video camera channels based on a predetermined or programmatic hierarchy. Certain video camera inputs may be intrinsically of greater value, such as at an entry way, wherein they may be given a higher priority and displayed more often or for greater lengths of time. Furthermore, remote signals or image information may be utilized to modulate the prioritization hierarchy, for example motion sensing trigger increasing the priority of an associated video camera.
The system is optionally configured for accepting input from additional devices coupled to the system, such as audio or video streaming. Although these sources require significant bandwidth, still framing may be utilized at periodic intervals until trigger conditions, such as motion, are detected. Other non-video sensors may be coupled to the system, such as sensors for smoke, temperature, water, impact, window or door motion, foot traffic, and so forth. It should be appreciated that these forms of sensors require only a small amount of bandwidth. Output from these sensors can be configured to trigger prioritization changes of system inputs, such as video cameras located in the vicinity of the sensor, or even changing orientation on video cameras located in the vicinity to point toward the detected event. Separate sensors may be coupled to the system, or they may be integrated with the video camera.
Similarly, the system is optionally configured for conveying information to additional output devices. The system can direct information to other monitors connected over a residential network (wired or wireless) or remote access device connected over the Internet, or other network. Aside from these Internet type connections, the power-line network within the residence may be utilized by the system for conveying output information to emergency annunciators and control devices, such as alarms, light flashers, strobes, electronic door locks, fans, light control modules, pumps, and so forth.
The present invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment having optional features. It should be appreciated that the invention may be implemented with or without these features or variations thereof without departing from the teachings of the present invention. Aspects of the invention may be practiced in combination, or in some cases separate from the overall surveillance system, without departing from the teachings of the invention.
Although the description above contains many details, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of the present invention fully encompasses other embodiments which may become obvious to those skilled in the art, and that the scope of the present invention is accordingly to be limited by nothing other than the appended claims, in which reference to an element in the singular is not intended to mean "one and only one" unless explicitly so stated, but rather "one or more."

May 2013. Stats: Running 144.3 km (89.6 m) in 14 workouts and 1 race. No swimming because of the shoulder fracture. At the moment I cannot run for a little pain into the left knee. I think that I will have another week off before coming back to swim and run. The Black Knight is getting elder! Here are 3 photos taken in may: on the right sunset on the local Marina:
On the left the promenade that is part of our usual workouts through the city.
On the right the bay. Usually it is the path for our long distance runs because we can enjoy both the sea and the country. The scenery is wonderful especially during the sunset.
May 1989: I ran the Maremma Half Marathon in Grosseto (Tuscany). Finishing time 1:35:32 and I was 99 of 175. Few but fast runners: the others!!!
The B.K. is the first on the left.

This is why I deprecated<Container ~ foo> so long > ago, and replaced it with<ContainerMatch foo>. Do you have an comment on the other part of the proposal, namely adding ip subnet match to RewriteCond and SetEnvIf by using a magic prefix character, like e.g. RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} @22.214.171.124/25 SetEnvIf Remote_Addr @220.127.116.11/25 isTrusted It seems you wouldn't like that as well in analogy to the "~" operator? Any other syntax idea how to express an ip subnet match instead of a regexp? > RewriteList's will take only a subset of the storage types, right? Yes, I was only planning to add it to txt (and rnd) types. "int" and "prg" don't make sense for this. Concerning the dbm storage type ... > You aren't planning on using/reading large, nearly empty hash sets, are you? ... we would need to iterate over the entries during initial load to precompile the regexps and replace the dbm storage with an in-memory regexp array. Even if the dbm were not to large, that would pose the problems that the order of the dbm entries retrieved during iteration is not well-defined. So I'd say no, there's no good way of combining this with dbm. Similarly for dbd we would need an additional ordered retrieval sql statement as part of the config and we would loose the ability to use data updated in the database without restart, because there are no file timestamps we can check to detect such data updates. So again I'd say there's not good way of implementing this for a dbd based RewriteMap. Regards, Rainer

Health and welfare of older people in care homesBMJ 2007; 334 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.39191.405833.80 (Published 03 May 2007) Cite this as: BMJ 2007;334:913

The welfare of older people who live in care homes has raised concern for decades in many countries.1 Scandals surface on a depressingly regular basis, and although these enter the public consciousness, none provokes the outcry caused by reports of abuse of vulnerable people at the opposite end of the age range—children.
Two recent campaigns by the charity Age Concern England and partners focused on lack of respect for the dignity of older people. "Hungry to be heard" examined the problem of malnutrition in older people in hospital,2 and it called for more help for those needing assistance with eating and drinking. But protecting patients' meal times from interruption will prove a difficult goal for frazzled staff in many acute hospital units. "Behind closed doors" campaigned for people to be able to use the toilet in private in all care settings and argued that this was a general marker of …
