Culture of Androgeny
By Editorial Staff
Published April 3, 2008
Blurring the Lines Between the Genders
by Lee Grady
Does anyone remember a time in America when men were men, women were women, and the children could tell the difference?
In case you haven't noticed, the entertainment industry and the educational establishment have teamed up in the last few years to try their best at destroying traditional sex roles. We are told that in this enlightened era we need to learn to be "gender neutral." Men are encouraged to explore their "feminine side"; women are pressured to get out into the working world and fight their way up the corporate ladder.
Michael Jackson, the epitome of 1980s androgynous chic, paints a clear picture in the minds of our youth that you don't have to be male or female – you can be both. He can belt out a song and dance about "The Man in the Mirror" and sound like Lady Soul at the same time. Meanwhile, polished talk show hosts assure us that we will all eventually be bisexual, thus ridding our society forever of unwanted stereotypes.
If this confusing trend continues, a trend which author George Gilder calls "the androgynous agenda," then America's sexual landscape is going to be drastically marred beyond recognition in a few more years. Consider some of the shocking developments which are taking place in relation to male and female roles:
- The number of male flight attendants rose from none in 1960 to a current total of over 10,000. Other traditionally feminine occupations also have experienced a surge of male interest, all the way from telephone operators to male strippers; 1
- Most state educational budgets now call for increased emphasis and spending on girls' athletics, and less for boys', causing boys' overall participation in school athletic programs to drop from 76 percent to 50 percent; 2
- The Boy Scouts of America, after fighting several costly legal battles, announced last year that they will not bar women from becoming leaders of scout troops;
- Leaders of mainline Protestant denominations have called for the removal of "sexist language" in the Bible and church hymns, proposing that God Himself is both male and female;
- Recent court decisions have mandated that the U.S. Army must admit professed homosexuals into military service;
- The state of California has now officially recognized America's first lesbian sorority on the UCLA campus. Gay rights activists praised the decision as a great victory, and are expecting similar rulings in favor of homosexual fraternities;3
George Gilder, who chronicles this erosion of the sex roles in his excellent book Men and Marriage, says the trend should alarm us: "Every year's statistics break the previous records and ever more graphic images arise to signal the passing of the sexual concepts of masculine and feminine on which Americans have based their lives and expectations."4 But why is it that we are experiencing this sex role crisis?
Cultural Bone Rot
Actually, what we are experiencing in the U.S. today is nothing new. It happened in ancient Sparta and in glorious Rome. It happened in 18th century France and is presently occurring in the nations of modern Scandinavia – as well as most other democracies in the West. George Gilder calls it sexual suicide. It could also be called God's cultural judgment.
It is explained very simply in a Bible passage penned by the Apostle Paul, which he wrote to the Christians in Rome at a time when the imperial capital was well on its way to becoming an androgynous society. In this classic epistle he describes in detail the fate of a culture which rejects God's authority and His immutable laws:
"For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools … Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them …
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error" (portions of Romans 1:21-27).
This passage outlines the systematic breakdown of sex roles and the entire family structure itself – a structure which God designed to be the foundation of a healthy society. In a culture where men have rejected God's government and refused to submit to His moral requirements, a process of decay is set in motion. This moral entropy begins in the minds of men; as God's enlightening presence and protective influence is withdrawn, a pall of intellectual confusion settles over the society as a whole.
This intellectual depravity, as it progresses in intensity, brings about a twisting and a perverting of all that is natural and normal. And if we interpret Paul's comments to the Romans correctly, it would appear that sexual habits and roles are the ultimate target of this cultural bone rot process. When a society has divorced itself from God, the final result will be that men stop being men, women stop being women, and the institutions of marriage and family are destroyed.
When Paul tells us that men and women"abandon their natural function," this does not simply refer to homosexuality. What is "natural" for woman? Most assuredly her natural instinct is to marry, bear children, and devote much of her life to nurturing those children. In an anti-Christian society, women abandon these instincts. They revolt against the concept of childbearing, either through abortion or through neglect of nurturing responsibilities.
What is natural for the man? The most natural, God-given male instinct is for a man to give himself to one woman as her lifetime sexual partner in marriage, providing for her and for the children which they produce together. Whenever a civilization revolts against God, men simultaneously revolt against the institution of marriage.
This revolt does not begin with homosexuality. The large-scale breakdown of marriage in this country tends to parallel with the publication of Playboy magazine and the philosophy that it began to promote in the 1950s. Hugh Hefner's revolution encouraged men to leave the confines of marital fidelity under the guise of male sexual expression. But adultery is actually a revolt against masculinity and the natural male function, because it, and the resulting divorce, actually removes men from their primary role of husband, father and family provider.
Once men have rejected marriage, the door is then opened for the onslaught of homosexuality. Children no longer have a genuine male role model in the home, and this lack of a strong father figure completes the cycle of perversion: the young sons are sent out on a desperate search for the masculinity they never found by natural means, and the wounded daughters find it forever difficult to respect men when they reach adulthood.
Stopping "Gender Neutral" Policy
America's gradual drift from Judeo-Christian morality has now led us into the danger zone I have just described. One writer recently stated that the last twenty years in this country, in terms of public policy, could be described as"the homosexualization of America." But we did not get into this predicament without the help of an elite group of policymakers who have adopted an anti-family, anti-male, and anti-female agenda.
Leaders of the feminist movement (many of them are men, by the way) have told us that traditional sex roles are oppressive to one's individuality. They tell us that marriage is institutionalized rape, and that our economy is designed to enslave women to domestic duties. They tell us that women not only belong in the White House or on the construction site or in a fighter jet, but that we have a moral imperative to discriminate against men to put them there.
According to Gilder, Americans should learn a valuable lesson from the Swedes before it is too late. Over the last 25 years, Swedish social planners under the influence of feminism began to devise national policy that directly attacked the nuclear family. Legislation was enacted which removed all special protections for married women. Tax laws eliminated the joint return for a married couple, thus forcing both married partners to pay the same in taxes even if the wife did not work.
After a few years of such policy changes, it was impossible for a husband to provide for his family on one income. Women were forced into the workforce, and children were simultaneously forced into federal day-care facilities. Housing and tax benefits were even curtailed if families refused to place their children in the day-care centers. 5
Today in Sweden, traditional male and female roles have virtually been abolished. Men can no longer act as the principal providers. Women can no longer care for their children. Marriage has become a serious economic disadvantage, therefore most Swedish young people have rejected it. Not surprisingly, Sweden is now considering legalizing homosexual marriage – and will most likely be the first country in the world to do so.
Does the story of Sweden sound like a socialist nightmare? We are much closer to copying the Swedish pattern than most of us realize. Says Gilder, "The United States is enacting many of the policies that brought sexual suicide to Sweden. Despite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment and universal day-care, the feminists are gaining their ends piecemeal. In particular, the decline in the value of the child deduction has shifted the tax burden onto families with children.
"Through court decisions in favor of comparable worth, through the infiltration of the schools by feminists texts and teachers, through the day-care tax credits and other subsidies for the two-earner family, and through the rapid erosion of the joint income tax return and the housewife's right to social security, feminists are winning quietly by legal and legislative action what they cannot win in referenda."6
The Swedish agenda is already being seriously discussed in the halls of Congress as a viable option for American society. A bill proposing a massive federal day-care system is in consideration during this current legislative session. The feminist rallying cry is convincing more and more mothers to pursue employment outside the home. Our current welfare system has all but destroyed the self-esteem of lower class black males, mainly because single black mothers lose economic advantages if they marry.
What we need desperately in America today is a public policy which honors the clear differences between male and female; which places marriage in an honorable and economically desirable position; which eliminates no-fault divorce; which offers protection and security to the housewife; and which encourages home child care.
We cannot allow maleness and femaleness to drift together into a vague, unisexual zone of neutrality. We cannot allow monogamous marriage to become just one of several legally accepted lifestyles. We cannot allow federal economic policies to cripple and dismember the family structure.
Returning to pro-family policies will not be easy. It will require real men to stand up in the public arena to challenge the anti-gender activists. It will demand real women to defend the paramount role of traditional motherhood. But we cannot sit idly by while the social scientists plan America's sexual suicide. The culture which refuses to acknowledge and honor the differences between the sexes will neuter itself, and ultimately fade away into a childless oblivion.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation's moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America's dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren't looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

A quick investigation of Jean M. Auel tells me that she began publishing her Earth's Children series in 1980, and I must have been introduced to the series in about 1985 when The Mammoth Hunters was published. So my impression that I've been reading this series since the dawn of time has some foundation.
The Land of Painted Caves is the sixth and, apparently, the final book in the series. For those of you who don't know, these novels are set in the Ice Age and centered around Ayla, who is orphaned at an early age, lives with Neanderthals who call themselves the Clan, is banished, lives on her own and tames various animals, meets hunka hunka burnin' love Jondalar and returns with him (and some horses and a wolf) to his own people, the Zelandonii.
Having worked through the last two books, I was already beginning to tire of this particular epic, but I'm loyal and wanted to see how the whole thing ended.
I am SO disappointed.
For one thing, have I just grown out of this kind of novel, or did these books always read like an animated textbook? It is pretty interesting to learn about how Ice Age people may have lived, but the author is way too evident in this book, stopping the action every so often to give us a little lecture so that you end up feeling the characters are those models in a museum diorama, spears brandished and hair all over the place.
Then there's the repetition. Seriously. EVERY time someone new meets Ayla (and there is a cast of thousands, most of whose names confusingly begin with J) they HAVE to be awed by the tame horses, scared of the wolf and aware of Ayla's strange accent. And I was starting to yell every time the Song Of The Great Earth Mother was sung.
Oh Yes, The Capitals. They Abound. The novel is larded with titles, the one that really got to me being She Who Is First Among Those Who Serve The Great Earth Mother, and its many variations. This 700+ page chunkster is ponderous enough without slowing things down by putting Capital Letters on almost every line.
And the whole Zelandonii thing is like some vast New Age commune who take their religion with deadly seriousness. I could never have imagined that sex rites, orgies and drug-taking could seem like so little fun or be surrounded by so many rules and rituals. I'm sure it's quite accurate from a research viewpoint, but hoo boy, I think I'd rather take today's stresses and idiocies over this depiction of a natural idyll.
And I could go on. And I'm really not trying to be unkind to Auel, who has obviously taken huge pains to research and write these books. As I said, I've read my way through the series and, taken as a whole, find it memorable. It's been hugely successful and Auel has legions of fans (don't shoot! Please!)
But what really disappointed me was the ending. No spoilers, but there were so many interesting directions Auel's epic plotlines could have gone, and yet I feel that the whole thing sort of fizzled out, as though she, too, had had quite enough of the Zelandonii (who remind me, bizarrely, of the Federation in Star Trek. Perhaps this is the effect of trying to imagine a simpler world.)
I guess I was looking for a bang (no pun intended, and while we're on that subject the honeymoon is definitely over) at the end - it came, in a sense, as a discovery/observation that would profoundly shake the Zelandonii's worldview, but even that could have been more fully explored in the plot. There's an interesting parallel to the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden there, and I'd like to have seen it taken farther. If this had been my book, I'd have cut out all the middle bit about the caves (endless descriptions of cave paintings and lots of repetition of That Song) and finished the series off with a bit more brio rather than repeating a prior plotline.
As a writer, I found myself wondering - would I take on a series that would take me 30 years to finish? I love to read series, but I think it's better for all concerned if the books are written over a shorter period, even if that means the research has to be shallower. The problem of the research eventually dominating the story is all too evident here.

Johnny would like to live in a world where emails are short, work is done right the first time, and his favorite Chicago sports teams stop disappointing him year in and year out.
He's been applauded on websites such as Trulia and Yelp for his professionalism and trustworthiness. He has implemented a companywide W.W.A.L. (What Would Amelia Like) policy for apartment standards. If his wife Amelia wouldn't like it, then it needs to be changed. He can help make your investment property more profitable so you can enjoy your family and free time instead of collecting rents, doing maintenance, or screening potential tenants.
When he's not busy making his tenants happy and his clients' lives easier, you can find him camping in his new popup camper with his wife, daughter Isla, son Brooks, and dog Lady (who is not very ladylike). Johnny loves playing and watching sports. He's also a conservationist and avid hunter – specializing in waterfowl.
Miguel oversees the improvement and maintenance of all of our properties. Given that most of them were built in 1929, he is a very busy man. His hobbies include a borderline unhealthy obsession with fishing, scuba diving, and taking his wife, MaryAnn, out on hot dates…while thinking about fishing. He also enjoys spending time with their two sweet little girls.

Brad has a very important job to do. He helps oodles of renters find an awesome new place to call home. He's known as Leasing Guru, so please refer to him as such. We keep him around for his professional demeanor, stylish attire, and witty humor. When he's not scouting apartments, he enjoys golfing, making Starbucks runs, obsessing over Thanksgiving dinner, and watching college football.

While technically Lyndsay assists in Management Operations, the title "Cat Herder" has also been used to described her position. And although she's here to assess your maintenance and/or management needs, she has a degree in Psychology so she could also assess how you really feel about your maintenance and/or management needs.
Lyndsay was born near Toronto, Canada and grew up in Northeast Ohio where she graduated from Ohio State University. It was in Ohio that she not only fell in love with her husband, but also Buckeyes Football. We're happy that her love for her husband was greater than her love for the Buckeyes because he talked her into moving to the STL. Fast forward a few years & here she is happily married with 3 children & an 11 year-old dog who still acts like a puppy. When she's not holding down the fort at Garcia Properties you might find her taking in a concert, cycling, doing XHIT workouts, gardening & trying out new recipes. She's a big fan of the great outdoors & traveling abroad whenever possible.
Alex – who was born and raised in Ghana – lived all over the world before settling in St. Louis. Alex loves this country and wants to help make it an even better place, so he officially became a US Citizen in 2015. He's fluent in both English and Spanish, which comes in handy when assisting clients and on his family's annual trip to Mexico. Alex formerly worked in hotel and hospitality management, so you can bet his customer service skills are on point. Although Alex isn't a native Saint Louisan, he loves helping folks find great rentals all over the city. He has an amazing energy about him, always has a positive attitude, and is an all-around super nice guy. In Alex's free time he tries to keep up with his wife, Bridget, and is a Super-Dad to their twin boys. His favorite things in life are his family and friends, board games, spicy food, and juicing.
314-353-0336 x409
Marti is one of the friendly voices who answers the phones and handles so many important day-to-day tasks around the office. She prepares leases, assists with rental applications, keeps our permits up to date, and ensures we never run out of toilet paper. She enjoys spending time out in nature at Innsbrook with hubby, Dale, birdwatching, Sudoku, and sewing cute dresses for her granddaughters.
Legend has it that the Dos Equis "most interesting man in the world" character is based off of Earl Huffman. Just have one conversation with this man & you'll know why. Not only does he have a knack for fixing things, he also brings to the table a fascination with physics, science & green technology. Earl's attitude toward life is "Give me a minute, I'll figure it out". When Earl isn't tinkering with a variety of our tenants' maintenance problems he's usually tinkering with his guitars or other stringed instruments. He has a great appreciation for the variety of music St. Louis has to offer & also frequents museums, theater & films

Setting up an initial sync of a large amount of data
If you are on a low bandwidth connection, you may want to try the following procedure to set up DirectSync™ for a large amount of data.
For example, assume you are on a low bandwidth connection and you have a cubby containing 20 GB that you want to sync via DirectSync. It would take a long time to perform an initial sync, so we recommend "seeding" the target computer. That means you take the files from one machine and plant them on the other machine without using the Internet.
Here's what you do to seed the target computer:
- On the source computer, make sure the source folder is a cubby.
- Copy your files from the source cubby to a portable drive.
- Physically take the portable drive to the target computer.
- Copy the contents from the portable drive to the target computer to your preferred location.
- Make sure the target computer is also running Cubby under your own account.
- Add the original cubby to the target computer:
- To add the cubby to the target, open the Cubby application, click SYNC > sync to this computer and then merge with existing folder.
Once you've seeded the target computer, Cubby makes sure the computers stay in sync.
Note for advanced users: Even when files are identical on both sides, Cubby performs data integrity checks that result in a certain amount of syncing and sync-like behavior.
- Cubby transfers roughly 600 KB per 1 GB for checksums.
- Cubby performs a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) that appears as a regular sync in the user interface. That means it may seem as if Cubby is resyncing your files.
- So if you are thinking "Why does it resync everything anyway?" Cubby is actually not resyncing, but checking the integrity of your data.

After twenty years, what can we say Bribeville has really been?
Did it trigger epochal changes that truly affected the manner Italy is ruled in? And for better or for worse? Or was it just a flash in the pan whose only use has been that of mixing cards, of giving the impression everything was changing for nothing to change? Or still, one of those rare moments in the story of a country in which it is possible to see its real nature: not how it is declared that the country works but how it really functions?

My Profile
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Fundraising page.
My friends bought me the Bungee Jumping experience for my 21st and I thought it was a great reason to raise money for charity!
I chose Lansbury Make It Happen because it is a local charity looking to raise money to provide young people with disabilities the facilities that they need. In the past the charity has provided Lansbury Bridge Primary School with a swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool and 4 badminton courts. Having been in contact with this school, I know that this has made a difference to a lot of their pupil's schooling life.
The Bungee Jump experience has already been paid for so all money goes straight to Lansbury Make it Happen. All donations, little or big, will be greatly appreciated.
I'm very nervous about the 160ft drop but if I know that I am raising money and don't make it out alive it will have all been worth it :)

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to electronic communication devices, and more particularly, to electronic communication devices having a rotatable cover secured to a housing by a hinge assembly.
2. Description of Related Art
Portable electronic communication devices, such as cellular telephones, radio transceivers for trunked radio communication, transceivers having both telephone and dispatch capability, and other such devices, frequently include a main body surrounded by a housing, and a foldable cover pivotally mounted on the housing. In its closed position, the cover protects a keypad of the main body from foreign matter and from unintentional actuation of the keys. Closing the cover also provides greater compactness and thus enables easier storage of the device. In some devices, opening the cover activates the device to allow voice and data transmission. A built-in microphone can be disposed within the cover, or, alternatively, within the main body of the device.
PCT International Publication No. WO 93/18592, which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses one type of radio transceiver, a portable radiotelephone having a foldable cover. The cover includes a hinge arm, which houses two hinge pins that rotate with the cover. A single spring urges the hinge pins into engagement with a housing of the radiotelephone, and the hinge pins include cam surfaces for engaging cam followers affixed to the housing. Rotating the cover between its open and closed positions exerts force upon the cam surfaces of the rotating hinge pins to urge the cover into or out of the open and closed positions.
The radiotelephone of the PCT Publication suffers a significant disadvantage in that the cover of the radiotelephone cannot be removed easily. Removing the cover may be necessary, for example, during overhaul or repair of the radiotelephone, or for storage or shipment of the radiotelephone. To remove the cover, the hinge pins must be disengaged from the housing, that is, each hinge pin must be moved completely into the hinge arm of the cover. The spring of the PCT hinge assembly, however, forces both hinge pins securely into the housing, and very little spacing exists between the housing and the cover. Therefore, moving the hinge pins into the hinge arm to disengage the cover from the housing is very difficult. In fact, the PCT Publication fails to indicate whether removal of the cover is even possible.
The radiotelephone of the PCT Publication also suffers another disadvantage, in that a single spring urges both hinge pins into the housing. Failure of the single spring would reduce or eliminate the force urging both hinge pins into the housing, potentially causing the cover to disengage from the housing and resulting in loss or damage to the cover and any electrical components extending between the cover and the housing. Similarly, failure or removal of one of the hinge pins would compromise the force on the other hinge pin, potentially causing the cover to disengage from the housing.
Finally, the radiotelephone of the PCT Publication concentrates a relatively high amount of weight in the cover. The hinge arm of the cover, which extends across the cover in its entirety, adds substantial weight. Additionally, the hinge pins are secured to and rotate with the cover, further increasing the load on the cover. Increased cover load undesirably increases the wear on the hinge pins and on those portions of the housing that receive the hinge pins.
To overcome the above and other disadvantages, an electronic communication device according to an embodiment of the invention includes a housing, a cover mounted on the housing to rotate about a pivot axis, and at least one hinge pin extending along the pivot axis between the cover and the housing. The at least one hinge pin supports the cover for rotational movement about the pivot axis. Further, one of the housing and the cover including an aperture extending therethrough, the aperture having an inner opening that is smaller than a diameter of the at least one hinge pin and that is coaxial with the at least one hinge pin, the aperture allowing access to the at least one hinge pin from outside the electronic communication device to facilitate removal of the cover from the housing.
According to another aspect of the invention, an electronic communication device includes a housing, a cover mounted on the housing to rotate about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position, and at least one hinge pin extending along the pivot axis between the cover and the housing and supporting the cover for rotational movement about the pivot axis. The at least one hinge pin includes a recessed portion, a portion of the cover moving along the recessed portion as the cover rotates to urge the cover toward the open position and toward the closed position. The at least one hinge pin remains stationary as the cover rotates.
According to another aspect of the invention, a portable radiotelephone includes a housing and a cover mounted on the housing to rotate about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position. The radiotelephone further includes hinge means for supporting the cover for rotational movement on the housing, the hinge means comprising recess means for urging the cover toward the open position and toward the closed position. The cover includes aperture means coaxial with the pivot axis and extending through the cover for allowing access to the at least one hinge pin from outside the radiotelephone to facilitate removal of the cover from the housing.
According to another aspect of the invention, a method of removing a cover from a housing of an electronic communication device includes inserting a removal element through an aperture in at least one of the cover and the housing, and sliding the at least one hinge pin of the device along the pivot axis with the removal element to release the cover from the housing.
Embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the Figures, in which like reference numerals denote like elements and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable radiotelephone according to an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the FIG. 1 radiotelephone, showing alternative positions for an extendable antenna and a keypad cover;
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the FIG. 1 radiotelephone;
FIG. 4 is a detailed exploded view of a hinge assembly of the FIG. 1 radiotelephone; and
FIG. 5 is a detailed perspective view of a portion of the keypad cover of the FIG. 1 radiotelephone, according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIGS. 1-5 of the application illustrate a keypad cover hinge of a radiotelephone according to the invention. The invention, however, is not limited to hinges for keypad covers, and further is not limited to hinges used in radiotelephones. On the contrary, embodiments of the invention have application to a wide variety of portable electronic devices and other devices, not just radiotelephones. Additionally, embodiments of the invention have application to other hinges on such devices. Therefore, while preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with respect to keypad cover hinges for portable radiotelephones, the invention is not limited to such devices.
FIGS. 1-3 show an electronic communication device, specifically a radiotelephone, according to the invention. Device 5 includes housing 15, which supports keypad 13 in a preferably fixed orientation and which rotatably supports keypad cover 10. Keypad cover 10 rotates about pivot axis 57 (FIG. 3) between the closed position of FIG. 1, in which cover tabs 35 are engaged with housing recesses 40, and the open position of FIG. 2. The transmission capabilities of device 5 can be activated or modified by rotating keypad cover 10 into the open position, or, alternatively, the transmission capabilities of device 5 can be unrelated to rotation of keypad cover 10 and instead activated by an external switch or the like.
Housing 15 includes a centrally located hinge extension 20, which preferably is disposed below keypad 13 and which is used to rotatably support keypad cover 10 in a manner to be described. Keypad cover 10 also can assume other positions and orientations according to alternative embodiments of the invention, for example at the side of keypad 13 instead of below it.
Keypad cover 10 includes two hinge-pin-accommodating portions 25, disposed in alignment with and on opposite sides of hinge extension 20, and toward the outside of device 5 with respect to hinge extension 20. Portions 25 include hinge pin sockets 50 (FIGS. 3-5), which receive respective hinge pins 55 to secure cover 10 with respect to housing 15. Each hinge pin 55 is slidable along pivot axis 57 between a cover-securing position, in which hinge pins 55 extend between hinge extension 20 and keypad cover 10 to secure cover 10, and a cover-releasing position, in which hinge pins 55 are within sockets 65 of hinge extension 20 and are withdrawn from sockets 50.
Biasing elements 60, preferably in the form of coil springs, bias pins 55 toward their cover-securing positions. Springs 60 are coupled with pins 55, either by non-affixed frictional abutting contact or by a more permanent type of fastening means. Springs 60 preferably do not contact each other within hinge extension 20, but instead are separated by a central solid portion between the opposite sockets 65 of hinge extension 20. Thus, springs 60 are compressed between hinge pins 55 and wall portions such as wall portion 67 defining the bases of sockets 65.
Using two springs 60 instead of a single spring provides significant advantages over the prior art. If only one spring were disposed within hinge extension 20, failure of that spring would compromise the force urging both hinge pins 55 into hinge extension 20, potentially causing cover 10 to disengage from housing 15 and resulting in loss or damage to cover 10 and any electrical components extending between cover 10 and housing 15. On the other hand, the two springs 60 according to the invention provide redundancy, such that cover 10 is more likely to remain on housing 15 if one of springs 60 fails. Similarly, if device 5 included only a single spring, removal or failure of one of hinge pins 55 would compromise the force on the other of hinge pins 55.
As shown in FIG. 3, sockets 65 of hinge extension 20 each include posts 70 (may be shown in FIG. 4 in phantom), for receiving central cavity 58 of hinge pins 55 10. (FIG. 4) as well as the central opening of springs 60. Additionally, pins 55 include longitudinally extending channels 80 for receiving projections 75 of hinge extension 20. Although two channels 80 are illustrated in FIG. 4, disposed on opposite sides of each hinge pin 55, a single channel or more than two channels can also be used. The interlocking relationship between projections 75 and channels 80 prevents pins 55 from rotating within hinge extension 20. Thus, hinge pins 55 remain stationary as cover 10 rotates with respect to housing 15.
Hinge pins 55 include grooved/recessed end portions 59, which cooperate with protrusions 120 of cover 10 to urge cover 10 toward its closed position (FIG. 1), preferably when cover 10 is nearer its closed position than its open position along its path of rotation. Similarly, cooperation between end portions 59 and protrusion 120 urges cover 10 toward its open position when cover 10 is nearer is open position than its closed position along its path of rotation. End portions 59 thus act as cams, and protrusions 120 as cam followers, to snap cover 10 to the open position when, for example, device 5 is to be used, and to the closed position when, for example, use of device 5 is completed.
Grooved end portions 59 of hinge pins 55 each include two high portions 97, 113 and two low portions 93, 105. Ramped portions 90, 95, 100 and 110 extend between high portion 113 and low portion 93, low portion 93 and high portion 97, high portion 97 and low portion 105, and low portion 105 and high portion 113, respectively. Although the illustrated grooved end portions 59 are designed to begin urging cover 10 toward either the open or closed position at approximately the halfway point along the swing of cover 10 between its open and closed positions, end portions 59 can also be designed to begin urging cover 10 toward the open or closed position at different points along its path of rotation.
As best shown in FIG. 5, protrusions 120 are disposed within sockets 50 of hinge-pin-accommodating portions 25, and each protrusion includes ramped surfaces 125, 135 meeting at tip 130. In the closed position of cover 10, tip 130 is positioned at low portion 93 of hinge pin end portion 59. As cover 10 rotates on hinge extension 20 towards its open position, tip 130 travels along ramped surface 90 toward high portion 113, which according to the illustrated embodiment corresponds approximately to the half-opened/half-closed position of cover 10. If cover 10 is released before reaching the halfway point, tip 130 slides back toward low portion 93 and thus cover 10 snaps to its closed position once again. Once tip 130 passes high portion 113 and encounters ramped portion 110, however, release of cover 10 causes tip 130 to move toward low portion 105, and cover 10 thus snaps to its open position instead of its closed position.
According to the illustrated embodiment, each hinge pin end portion 59 is formed symmetrically about a line extending between high portions 97, 113, that is, the shape and disposition of ramped portions 90, 95 and low portion 93 are identical to those of ramped portions 100, 110 and low portion 105. Consequently, each hinge pin 55 can be inserted into socket 65 of hinge extension 20 without regard to its orientation, after ensuring that channels 80 are aligned with projections 75. In this embodiment, high portion 113 is formed as a plateau instead of as a point, to provide an area where tip 130 could remain without sliding toward low portions 93 or 100. Thus, cover 10 can remain in a half-opened/half-closed position. Alternatively high portions 97, 113 can both be point surfaces, in which case no half-opened, half-closed position would be created.
Device 5 also includes apertures 45, each disposed within hinge-pin-accommodating portions 25 along pivot axis 57. The inner opening of each aperture 45, best seen in FIG. 5, is smaller than a diameter of hinge pin 55, to prevent hinge pin 55 from sliding through the aperture. Apertures 45 allow insertion of a cover removal element, such as a pin or other long object of small diameter, through cover 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover removal element engages a cylindrical cavity 118 within the center of end portion 59 of hinge pin 55 and moves hinge pin 55 against the biasing action of spring 60, until hinge pin 55 is completely withdrawn from socket 50 of cover 10. Once hinge pin 55 is removed from cover 10 and substantially within hinge pin socket 65 of hinge extension 20, cover 10 can be easily removed from housing 15. Apertures 45 thus facilitate removal of cover 10 from housing 15 and represent a significant advantage over prior art devices, in which removal of the keypad covers was quite difficult, if not impossible.
According to the illustrated embodiment, apertures 45 are within hinge-accommodating-portions 25 of cover 10. According to an alternative embodiment, however, hinge extension 20 can be formed in two portions to surround a single hinge-accommodating-portion of keypad cover 10. Note, for example, previously described International Publication No. 93/18592. In the alternative embodiment, apertures 45 are disposed in each of the two hinge extensions along the pivot axis, that is, in the housing of the device, to facilitate removal of the cover from the housing.
As described above, a hinge according to the invention represents a number of advantages over the prior art. Keypad cover removal can be accomplished quickly and easily, merely by inserting a cover removal element through apertures 45 to remove hinge pins 55 from the cover. Providing two springs instead of a single spring creates redundancy and lessens the likelihood of accidental disengagement of the cover from the device. Finally, high weight concentrations in the cover are avoided, decreasing wear on the hinge pins and on those portions of the housing that receive the hinge pins.
While the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, the description is illustrative and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Various modifications and changes may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Powerful Pre-Solstice New Moon
by Simeon Chi'Ra 12/17/09
The energy of the new moon yesterday was incredibly powerful here. Given what people have been saying what was happening for them it appears that it was powerful for many others as well.
This New Moon window comes just before the upcoming Solstice which begins the annual solar cycle anew. The New Moon energies we are experiencing right now are very aligned to the whole upcoming Solstice transformational dynamics as well.
Cayelin Castell writes about this New Moon in her Celestial Timings astrological newsletter (relates a shamanic astrological perspective - highly recommended):
...This New Moon seed point is near the Galactic Center and the Moon is crossing the Galactic cross a few hours later while also accessing the transformative power of Pluto (2 Capricorn 47).
This sets up an opportunity to further deepen our commitment to the power and magic of living the truth of our being for the purpose of promoting love and joy in ways that are most beneficial for all life. Attending to the hurts, wrongs, mistakes and issues of the past through embracing them, forgiving them and incorporating the gifts they have for us as the medicine we carry.
This time includes the power of the New Moon supporting any new beginnings happening now especially when we are taking authentic action through surrender, forgiveness and release of the past...
Hoo boy, has that ever been true! Remember now also that the upcoming Solstice is aligned very closely to galactic center with Pluto in Capricorn as a major player, and that this New Moon sets the stage for the new Solar Cycle beginning at Solstice, which in turn ushers us through the Twelfth Heaven and into the final Thirteenth Heaven of the Galactic Wave Movement in the Mayan Calendar later in 2010!
I REALLY felt the energies lining up within me in preparation for this coming Solstice. There was verrrry deep transformation taking place, some things that surprised even me came up to be processed through my matrix the last two days.
If you are looking for deep transformation as part of your preparation for 2012 and beyond, this upcoming Solstice energy transmission is shaping up to be all of that and more.
Until Solstice and forever thereafter: run silent, run deep, and be true to your essence!
Embrace of the Cosmic Mother
Energy Channeling Transmission

Teemo Build Guide by Jargleman
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build focuses on AD DPS Teemo. He is really good at harassing early game. Go in the middle of the lane (if they aren't there in the bush or anything) and go invisible. When they come close enough hit them once or twice with basic attacks and walk back a little, then minion farm a little and try to go invisible again without them noticing. When you have blinding dart and you're in bot, you'll be against the AD carry (in ranked or draft) so when you come out to harass hit them then blind them and try to hit them again so they can't retaliate because of the blind.
A Quick Tutorial
Watch this video and you should know how to play Teemo pretty well.
It gives you the whole thing about Teemo and tells how to level up the moves.
Have fun rocking all the lanes!
Summoner Spells
I choose cleanse for that pesky Ignite early game. It can save you from death from Ignite and late game keep you from getting stunned or snared or anything.
I take Flash for a few reasons, it can help you flash into the fight and pick up a kill or get there faster, you can use flash to catch up to kill an enemy, or you can use flash to get away.
Exhaust is a great summoner spell you can take instead of Cleanse if you want to, you can use it as they run away to slow them down or as they chase you so they can't catch up.
Ignite works too instead of Cleanse for the early kills and for keeping health regeneration down. Ignite is good for any lane to do that last bit of their health.
I take the Armor Penetration runes because this is an AD Teemo build. The health per level seals are to build health through the game and into late game. The magic resist seals can help you stay alive from all the casters. The flat health quints are nice for health early.
Pros / Cons
-Exceptional Harass
-Mushrooms are built
in wards
-High movement speed
from Move Quick
-Renders enemies
helpless with blind
-Rather squishy early
-Mushrooms have small
sight range
-Movement speed reduced
by enemy attacks
-Blind only stops basic
attacks from hitting
Doran's blade is for the early laning damage. Beserker's Greaves are to start out the attack speed you build more and more through the game. The next item is either recurve bow or you can go for bloodthirster first with vampiric scepter. If you need the early life steal put vampiric scepter then bloodthirster in front of recurve bow and wit's end. Then you get malady for more attack speed. The frozen mallet for some extra health and damage. Madred's Bloodrazor for farming and late game jungling for gold. And then bloodthirster if you didn't get it before recurve bow.

Bankruptcy's credit damage worse than debt settlement's
Let's Talk Credit
Dear Let's Talk Credit,
I was out of work for a few years and my credit cards went unpaid. I am to the point now where they sent me a compromise to pay less. I only owe a total of $13,000. Is this better for my credit than claiming bankruptcy? -- Mike
Dear Mike,
The short answer to your question is bankruptcy will damage your credit more than settling your credit card debt. Let's explore your options in a little more detail.
When considering a settlement offer, you need to be sure you can afford the payment that the creditor is requesting. Another thing to keep in mind is that the IRS considers forgiven debt as taxable income. So, if you owe $13,000 and agree to settle your debt for $5,000, the $8,000 that is forgiven would be considered income for the tax year that it is forgiven. Depending on your income tax bracket, you could owe an additional $1,000 to $2,000 in taxes.
As far as how a settlement will affect your credit, the majority of damage to your credit history was done when the credit cards went unpaid. Creditors like to see that you did eventually pay what you owe, even if you pay only a portion of the total amount due. In addition, with a settlement, the accounts will drop from your credit report seven years from the date of last delinquency. So, if the accounts are already three years old, you would have only four years or so before they no longer affect your credit.
Filing bankruptcy could cause more damage to your credit and for a longer period of time. A Chapter 7 remains on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing and a Chapter 13 remains on your report for seven years from the date of filing. Creditors may view you as more of a credit risk with a previous bankruptcy on your credit as opposed to a debt settlement.
Depending on your income level, you might not qualify for a Chapter 7 liquidation. Filing a Chapter 13 would require you to repay some portion of your debt. To qualify for a Chapter 7 filing in most cases your income must be lower than the median income for your state.
Another thing to consider is the cost involved with filing for bankruptcy and any attorney fees.
Whatever you decide to do about your old credit card debt, your credit will improve with time and as you add positive information to your credit report each month.
Let's keep talking!

Sanchez lifts Giants over Brewers in extrasMay 7, 2012 - 3:43 AM
Facing Tim Dillard (0-1), Buster Posey started the frame with a single up the middle before Angel Pagan dropped down a perfect sacrifice bunt to move pinch- runner Emmanuel Burriss to second. Brandon Belt was intentionally walked and Ryan Theriot also walked to load the bases. Sanchez got ahead in the count 3-0 before slicing a 3-2 sinker into left to plate Burriss.
Javier Lopez (3-0) recorded the final out of the top of the 11th to earn the win.
"We came from a tough three games with the Marlins and we wanted to be able to head to LA with a victory," Pagan said. "We feel good about it."
Conor Gillaspie, Angel Pagan and Theriot all knocked in runs for the Giants, who took the last two games of this series after dropping four straight.
Aramis Ramirez drove home two runs and Travis Ishikawa added an RBI double for the Brewers, who have lost four of their last five contests.
Milwaukee entered the ninth trailing, 3-2, but Corey Hart led off the inning and reached on a fielding error by Gillaspie at third. After Jonathan Lucroy fanned and Taylor Greene popped out, Ishikawa -- a former Giant -- burned his old team by ripping a 3-2 pitch from Santiago Casilla into center field. The ball got past a drawn in Pagan and Hart was able to score,
Earlier, the Brewers struck first in their first at-bat. Nyjer Morgan coaxed a leadoff walk, stole second and after back-to-back strikeouts by Rickie Weeks and Ryan Braun, Ramirez came through with an RBI base hit to put the Brewers on top.
It would not last long though, as the Giants answered with a pair of runs in the home half of the frame.
Gregor Blanco walked to start the rally and came all the way around to tie the game on a double into the right-center field gap by Gillaspie. Melky Cabrera followed with a single into left to put runners on the corners and after a Posey strikeout, Pagan grounded into a fielder's choice to bring home Gillaspie for a 2-1 Giants edge.
San Francisco tacked on a run in the fourth when Pagan drove a double to left to begin the inning and came around to score on a base hit by Theriot.
The Brewers got a run back in the sixth when Weeks ripped a one-out double and Braun followed with a single to put men on the corners. Ramirez then lofted a sacrifice fly to right which scored Weeks to make it 3-2.
"Everything is going to have to go like it did last year, where on both sides of the ball we do what we're capable of doing," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "I really believe we are (a good baseball team) regardless of injuries, we still have a good enough team that we can win."
Game Notes
San Francisco finished its 9-game homestand with a record of 4-5...Following Sunday's game, the Giants will embark on a 6-game road trip through Los Angeles and Arizona...Pagan extended his hitting streak to 20 games. He and Pablo Sandoval became just the third pair of Giants teammates to have hit safely in at least 20 games in the same season in Giants franchise history and the first to do it since the team moved to San Francisco...Atlanta's Freddie Freeman (20 games) and Dan Uggla (33) are the last pair of teammates to have 20-plus game hit streaks in the same season (2011)...Giants starter Matt Cain gave up two runs on six hits and one walk while fanning 10 over seven innings. It was the ninth career 10-strikeout game for Cain...Brewers starter Shaun Marcum yielded three runs on five hits and two walks while whiffing three in six frames.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Trucks and Trailers' started by mouse, Dec 4, 2006.
what are the advantages or disadvantages to the LCF type trucks?
I have found only one disadvantage, the windsheild is more susceptible to damage from stones kicking up.
it would suck in a head on crash
They don't ride well, at least not the old one I used to drive. Very bouncy, sitting right over the axle. Other than that, it was the best truck I have ever used. Took weight easily, extremely maneuvarable (turned on a dime), handled great. Had this little sissy "beep-beep" horn though. I hated that.
A friend of mine added a air horn off of a train to his. It really gets your attention
I replace those dam front windows once a year. Other than that they are good trucks for this business. Have the GMC(isuzu(3500))
They do ride somewhat rough, but I've found them not too bad. They have a nice tight turning radius.
Of course, to work on them, you have to tilt the cab, which means you have to remove or secure anything you don't want falling in the cab.
But with the cab tilted, it is pretty easy to get at everything on the engine.
One other disadvantage, at least I've seen this a lot on the smaller GMC/Isuzu cabovers like the W4s - the A/C condenser is not in front of the radiator, it's down low in front of the left front tire. They seem a lot more susceptible to damage from debris in this location. I've seen a lot of them get a leak after getting hit by road debris. There is a guard over them, but it doesn't stop everything.
I'll never own one after blowing a drivers-side tire at 60mph. Thank God there was nobody in the lane to my left, or around me at all that day. It took me quite a bit of fighting to get it to the shoulder. It could have been really ugly, possiblly deadly. It defanitely affirmed my belief in Angels.
Still remember it like it was yesterday.
I know alot of them are on the road, and very popular, but they are accidents waiting to happen IMHO.

According to NBC Connecticut, the deer was euthanized by a local veterinarian after observing that the female deer hadn't moved much since the rescue.
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says the vet determined the deer had suffered a broken shoulder and jaw and other injuries.
Coyotes chased the female deer onto the ice where she fell into the water. Mark Rudewicz, an animal control officer in Simsbury, said the deer managed to crawl out of the partially-frozen lake, but it' was unable to navigate the icy conditions.
Live NBC News video from the scene showed the small deer struggling to move before settling down in a 4-way split.
After several hours of attempting to escape, the deer appeared to be exhausted. Rudewicz said he hoped she would rest, regain her strength, and escape.
Eventually, volunteers with an animals rescue group were able to haul her up onto the river bank using ropes and towels.
"Human emotion is, you know, you want to rescue it. There's that humane component. It's an animal, we're here to help everyone," Rudewicz told NBC Connecticut on scene.
The deer could be seen stumbling around in the snowy forest near the lake before laying down.
