1. Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains generally to the field of emergency warning and alarm systems and is more particularly directed to a strobe light and emergency call warning device with remote activator for domestic use which is actuated upon either of a remote control or dialing of a telephone number sequence associated with an emergency number and when actuated activates a strobe light preferably in an interior window of the premises for attracting and guiding a responder to the call.
2. Related Art
There are numerous times when an emergency occurs where time is of the essence and can save a life or prevent a crime from occurring. Accordingly, various systems have been employed including, 911 emergency assistance, as well as audible and visual alarms. These systems can be supported by a variety of communication companies so that dispatch personnel receiving a call at the 911 number is immediately provided with the street address at which the telephone call originates. The 911 dispatch sends the proper type of help in response to the call.
However, many times the addresses on the street are not visible or are not easily located. Emergency personnel responding to the call must search for a particular number in such cases. Naturally, the excess time poses potential loss of life, wellness and/or property.
Existing alarm systems feature activation of a light, upon triggering of the alarm system. Some systems actuate the alarm system in response to telephone dialing which places the call for assistance.
While present systems have decreased the risk of loss, there remains a need to improve warning systems capable of activating a locating device, such as a strobe light, and emergency telephone calls. It is desirable that such a system create a quicker response time and include improved notification system. This is due to the fact that in many circumstances, such as heart or lung failure, there is typically less than four minutes to resuscitate an afflicted person before brain function ceases to operate. Thus, every second counts.
It is an object to improve emergency warning and locating devices.
It is another object to improve emergency calling devices.
It is another object to simplify the use of emergency warning devices.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a strobe light and emergency call warning device with remote activator which improves over the art by use of a remote panic button which actuates a telephone box to trigger a series of telephone calls to one or more pre-designated emergency numbers while simultaneously initiating a strobe light. The telephone box includes means responsive to the remote panic button which clears the telephone line if busy in order to make the emergency calls.
The invention can be made available at low cost for easy installation by the purchaser to operate in a reliable manner thereby to expedite the delivery of emergency assistance services to the benefit of both the public and the municipal services responsible for providing such assistance. These and other advantages of the present invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying detailed description of the preferred embodiments considered together with the attached drawings.

Referring now to the drawings, wherein like parts are identified by like numbers, FIG. 1 shows a schematic of the strobe light and emergency call warning device with remote activator 10. The device 10 generally includes a telephone light activator box 12 which includes circuitry more fully described hereinafter to accomplish the invention, a strobe light 14 and remote panic button activator 16.
The telephone light activator box 12 (FIGS. 2a, 2 b, 2 c, and 2 d) is equipped with telephone jack ports 18 (In-Line from telephone service line 22) and 20 (Out-Line to connect to telephone 24). The telephone light activator box 12 includes a power source 26 which can include an AC adapter (e.g., 110 V AC) and/or DC battery source which can optionally can be of a rechargeable type. A relay 30 operably interconnects the ports 20 and 18 to a DTMF generator 32, DTMF detector 34, call progress detector 35 and off-hook detector 36, in a manner as shown in FIG. 2d.
"DTMF" refers to dual tone multi frequency. Operably connected to the DTMF generator 32, the DTMF detector 34, the call progress detector 36 and the off-hook detector 38 is a microprocessor (MCPU) 40. The off-hook detector 38 is equipped with electrical circuitry to detect changes in the voltage of the telephone service line 22. If the telephone is off-hook, the voltage will drop, for example, from 48V to 8V, and be detected.
The call progress detector 35 includes electrical circuitry to detect dialing tone, ringing tone, busy tone, and communicate the same to MCPU 40. The MCPU 40 is equipped with software which recognizes predetermined emergency telephone numbers and whether such calls are completed thereto. The DTMF detector 34 detects which number is dialed from the phone 24 (in the event the phone is utilized) and communicates the dialed number signal to the MCPU 40. The DTMF generator 35 is used to generate the dual tone in tone dialing when the telephone box makes an emergency call, e.g., the DTMF generator 35 can call "911."
An electrical erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) 42 is operably connected to the MCPU 38. The EPROM 42 is used to store the telephone number for making the emergency call. Also, a radio frequency receiver RFRX 44 and transmitter RFTX 46 are operably connected to the MCPU 40 to receive and transmit radio frequency signals, respectively. The MCPU 40 and EPROM 42 are operably associated with digital sound recording/playing chip 43 to permit recording of an emergency message to be played upon completion of a call to the emergency number dialed.
The strobe light 14 is preferably of a portable type to be disposed on a window sill interior of a building and includes a base 50 which here is shown to be of a rectangular configuration suitable for disposing on a window sill. Formed in an upper portion of the base 50 is a seating column surface 52 to receive a strobe light column support column 54 which preferably houses a battery 56. Also, connected to the base 50 in an exposed manner is a battery low indicator light 58 which is operably connected to the seating surface 52 via an electrical circuitry 60 which triggers the light upon the battery charge state falling below a predetermined amount. An audible battery low indicator can also be employed. A receiver/driver 51 is operably disposed within the base 50 to cause completion of a circuit when receiving a signal from the RFTX 46. The RFTX 46 is used to send the signal to the remote receiver 51 within the base 50 and turn on the strobe light 14. The RFRX 44 receives a signal from the panic button remote activator 16. A strobe light seat 62 includes a lower portion 64 having suitable electrical circuitry 66 to carry the current to from the battery 56 to the strobe light housing 68. Within the strobe light housing 68 is a strobe light 70. Here, the strobe light housing 68 is configured to hold the strobe light 70 in a manner which directs the light substantially from one side of the housing 68 such that when the strobe light 14 is disposed on a window sill, the light substantially projects out the window of the building.
The panic button activator 16 of the invention includes a housing 80 having a battery 82 operably disposed therein. An RFTX 84 is also operably disposed within the housing 80 and upon receiving power from the battery 82 sends a signal to the RFRX 44 of the box 12. A depressable button 86 is operably connected through an open surface of the housing via biasing means, which can be a spring loaded connector, and includes circuitry which when depressed completes a circuit from the battery 82 to cause the said transmission of the signal. A loop hoop 88 is integrally formed on the housing 80 to enable attachment to a chain or lace, for example, to be easily carried by the user. A low battery light indicator 90 with suitable circuitry are operably connected to the battery 82 and illuminates when the charge falls below a predetermined amount.
The operation and mock testing of the unit are further described as follows. The operation presumes a predetermined number e.g., "911" is stored in the EPROM. "#1" will allow a second number to be stored for calling. "##" will allow one to delete the second number. The ability to store numbers is provided while in the test mode with the telephone in the off-hook position. Subsequent to dialing the number, the there will result a beep for 1 second indicating the number is stored in the EPROM 42 "#2" will permit start/stop of a recorded message. "#3" will permit deletion of the message. Placing the telephone 24 in the on-hook position terminates the ability to store numbers.
When the telephone 24 is off hook, the off hook detector 36 and call progress detector 35 will detect the drop in voltage and dial tone and send signals to the MCPU 40. Upon receiving these signals, the MCPU 40 via its resident software comparatively analyzes the number(s) dialed with those stored in the EPROM 42. In the embodiment described, a preprogramed number such as "*1" the telephone box 12 initiates a panic button test mode and delivers a series of short audible sounds (e.g., two beeps) . If "*2" is dialed, the telephone box 12 initiates a test mode for the telephone box 12 to dial "911" and delivers a long audible sound (beep). If "**" is dialed, the telephone box will toggle on and off the strobe light 14 via the mechanisms described above. If "911" or another predefined emergency number is dialed, the telephone box 12 will activate the strobe light 14.
While in test mode, the telephone box 12 is equipped with an audio chip operably connected to the MCPU 40 which periodically beeps until receiving an RF signal from the remote panic button activator 16 or when the telephone 24 is back on-hook. During the test, the relay 30 is in an open state which results in the disconnect of the telephone 24 from the telephone line 22.
The telephone box 12 will dial a predefined number e.g., "*0123456789" and the call progress detector 35 and DTMF detector 34 will detect the status of the telephone line and the number dialed by the DTMF generator 32, respectively. If the line status and number dialed are in order, the telephone box 12 will produce a long beep, e.g., 2 seconds, otherwise the telephone box 12 will produce short beeps for e.g., 4 seconds.
When the panic button is used in used to actuate on/off the device 10, an RF signal is sent to the telephone box 12 which in turn sends an RF signal to the strobe light 14. The MCPU 40 verifies that the telephone service line 12 is clear to dial the emergency number(s) in storage. If busy, the MCPU 40 communicates in a manner to clear the line through the relay 30. The DTMF generator 32 is initiated to call the emergency number. If the receiving number is busy, a redial is initiated periodically until the number is connected. Thus, the invention provides for the telephone box 12 to receive an RF signal from the panic button activator 16, an RF signal is transmitted to activate the strobe light 14. The MCPU 40 signals the relay 30 to the open position to clear a line 22. Once a dialing tone is present, the DTMF generator 32 initiates the emergency call number. The call progress detector 35 communicates with the MCPU 40 the status of the call until complete. Once complete, the emergency message is initiated by the MCPU 40 to cause the playing of the message via chip 43.
The above described embodiments is set forth by way of example and is not for the purpose of limiting the present invention. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that obvious modifications, derivations and variations can be made to the embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the claims appended hereto should be read in their full scope including any such modifications, derivations and variations.

Jane Austen wrote the first draft of the novel in the form of a novel-in-letters (epistolary form) sometime around 1795 when she was about 19 years old, and gave it the title Elinor and Marianne. She later changed the form to a narrative and the title to Sense and Sensibility.[2] "Sense" in the book means good judgment or prudence, and "sensibility" means sensitivity or emotionality. "Sense" is identified with the character of Elinor, while "sensibility" is identified with the character of Marianne. By changing the title, Austen added "philosophical depth" to what began as a sketch of two characters.[3] The title of the book, and that of her next published novel, Pride and Prejudice (1813), may be suggestive of political conflicts of the 1790s.[4]

Things have changed since then, but I still wont publicly give out my vendors other than HBL and Christmas decor. That being said, it isnt hard to find them, internet and all. Heck, I have them calling me to the point of being severely annoying, pretty much every tom, dick and harry that can find you on the internet will eventually try to peddle their walmart type lights to you... Not trying to be a dic but nobody gave me any vendor leads and now I have more than I want and still look for them because you never know who will have that one thing that might set you apart from the next guy.

my laptop is really old. i got it way back in 2008, and it still works surprisingly but ive noticed just how slow it runs now. I just use it for watching youtube and playing a really old online MMO so it does its job, but its getting so slow. When idle its RAM usage is at 40% and despite trying plenty of fixes nothing seems to work.
when i check the resource monitor it says svchost.exe is using the most ram. I have tried ending all the services it allows me to and it makes no difference. I even restored my laptop to its factory setting and the RAM usage is still high. it goes as high as 70% when im surfing the net.
I know didly squat when it comes to computers so im sorr if this is a stupid question, but is there anyway to the high RAM consumption, or is it simply that my laptop is an OAP now?
here are my specs:
model: aspire 6920
processor: intel core duo cpu t5750 @2.00ghz

Hello Everyone found this video that showcases a daddy making a scary laugh to his baby. I though it would be a great example to identify some microexpressions (good discussion point).
Baby Video hereSo here is my assessment and highlights from the video:
Happy MicroexpressionThis microexpression is pretty evident so I think we will all get this one. However look out for the Transition from happiness at 0.13 seconds
Fear microexpression (Pause at 0.14 seconds)Eyes open wider, focus stare- flat eyebrows- Wrinkle forehead
Transition to Sadness at exactly 0.15 seconds
Sadness Microexpression (Pause at 0.17 or 0.19 seconds)- Down turn mouth - Jaw up and lip pouts out (very sad baby :()
Do you agree with my assessment?Was it the sound of the dad's laugh or the quiet pause after that lead to sadness?
I totally agree, at 14 seconds this looks like fear to me just before sadness.What do you think about earlier on at 3 seconds?
Hey Todd,
I totally missed that, there is something happening at 3 seconds. Looks like a small transition from happiness just for a second. No sure about this one. what are your thoughts?
When I saw this the first time, my read was confusion/fear at 3 seconds - Like "hey dad, what are you up to?".Then again, maybe it's just gas !!
I agree with the fear at 14 seconds. I think the three seconds expression is just the baby hearing that it is being talked to and focusing on him. Then again it could just be gas...
When I click on the video, I am only getting a black screen.
I started working on the Frost/Nixon interview to spot micro-expressions and it got pretty overwhelming I'll have to come back to it, but if ever you wanted to be bombarded by micro-expressions, this is the video to watch.
I had to slow the video down in order to see that fear expression.
thanks for the post man. awesome.
This is interesting! I am currently studying early socialization in psychology so this is relevant to me right now! Babies can be a wealth of information that can shed light on emotions as they are still dealing with the primal part of their brain.

FIT firefighters may be calendar pin-ups for some, but a Scottish study has found that within a few years of enlisting more than one-quarter become overweight or obese.
Research conducted by the former medical adviser of Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service revealed most firefighters find their waistlines expanding after joining up – gaining up to 61lb in the most extreme case.
Dr Christopher Ide, now a consultant physician in occupational medicine for NHS Lanarkshire, warned chubbier crews are increasing risks to themselves and those they rescue.
Loading article content
Fat firefighters are more likely to suffer ill effects from intense heat, can struggle to squeeze through small spaces and can find they cannot carry victims down ladders that have a weight limit, he said.
Dr Ide said: "What particularly astounded me was the speed at which people went from being fairly svelte to being very fat, and how much additional weight they put on."
New recruits to Scotland's fire services have a medical examination when they enlist, and are re-examined further into their career if they apply for an LGV licence to drive appliances.
For his research, which is published in the latest Scottish Medical Journal, Dr Ide compared the weight and body mass index (BMI) measurements of 114 firefighters at enlistment with Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service, and their vital statistics at the time of their LGV medical.
There was an average of 3.7 years between the examinations and an average weight gain of 13lb.
Six of the firefighters were initially underweight, 58 had the optimal BMI and 50 were classed as overweight. By the time of their LGV checks, however, 73 of the firefighters were overweight and nine were obese.
Dr Ide notes that BMI calculations, which look at whether a person's weight is appropriate for their height, can misclassify the particularly muscular.
However, when asked if the changes could be attributed to the firefighters becoming more athletic, he said: "It would be nice to think these people had got a lot fitter because they were working for the fire service, but I would expect not."
He said his prime concern was firefighters struggling to cope with the heat on jobs and suffering effects ranging from exhaustion to sudden – potentially fatal – heat stroke. He added that there were also long-term health consequences of being overweight, such as type two diabetes.
Dr Ide said: "Now the age of retirement has been pushed up by five years, you have got five years longer for people to develop these various diseases, and all the time you have got the acute problems I refer to.
"I think the fire service needs to be more vigilant about keeping firemen in shape.
"It is not through lack of trying, though, I think. They have had a rolling programme of refurbishing fire stations and one of the things they did was include space for a gym equipped with various machines."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Fire and Rescue said: "For a number of years Strathclyde Fire and Rescue has ensured its firefighters are assessed using national UK testing standards.
"We take the health and fitness of our crews extremely seriously and have robust procedures in place to ensure every firefighter is fully capable of meeting the physical demands of the role. We ensure that while on duty our personnel have access to sport and other physical activity."
Strathclyde firefighters are tested every three years to check aerobic fitness and weight, and anyone outside the prescribed range is not allowed to continue active duties.

INSIDE: How to stencil a fun pattern on a ceiling with Cutting Edge Stencils.
What wild home decor ideas do you get after flipping through a magazine? When you are sitting at your child's sporting practice for an hour+, your mind may easily wonder to how great it would be do something fun and colorful to an otherwise boring ceiling.
This is how I found myself perched atop a ladder in the middle of my foyer, foam roller in one hand and painter's tape in another, stencil a pattern onto the ceiling.
While I am not a self-described stenciling pro, I have successfully stenciled two long walls in our house before. However, a ceiling was something new! It was a little more neck-craning (thank gawd for Ibuprofen!) but the results are pretty awesome! Here are the before's and after's…

how to stencil a ceiling
I want to give a huge thank you to Cutting Edge Stencils for partnering with me on this project.
Cutting Edge Stencils sent me the stencil of my choice. I selected the "Connection" stencil. Along with this awesome pattern, they sent me a foam roller and a very handy level which attached to the side of the stencil. This was unbelievably handy when dangling off a ladder, looking up!
Here is the foyer BEFORE. Kind of plain and boring, don't you think?
The light fixture is a remnant from the previous homeowners. It has to go!
diy stencil a ceiling with paint
A great aspect of this particular stencil is its thickness and large size. Because of this, I was able to cover a lot of territory rather quickly. I used Frog painter's tape to help keep the stencil on the ceiling. My only recommendation is to also have used spray mount adhesive given the angle I was working at.
Here are a few WORK IN PROGRESS shots…
Our ceiling is textured which makes painting it a little more involved!
I found this photo on my phone, taken by my 5 year old!
And now for the AFTER… Sorry it's a little dark. This is such a dark space!
The foyer light fixture definitely has to be changed out! What lighting recommendations do you have to coordinate with this stenciled pattern?
DIY Stenciling Tips
- Don't overload your roller with paint. Be sure to keep a rag or paper towel next to your paint tray and roll off any excess
- Roll gently so paint doesn't bleed under the stencil. Because of this, you may have to do two coats before moving the stencil
- Keep a small paint brush nearby. I found this handy when stenciling where the ceiling and walls met. I used this small brush to paint near the edges instead of the foam roller

What you need to know about Dr. D Ivan Young
- Relationship Expert Dr. D Ivan Young's authoritative look at relationships, breakups, separation, and divorce leaves a captivated audience with a timely and decisive message… "Your relationship may be 'breaking up', but you will not be 'breaking down'. "Break Up, Don't Break Down has helped millions of men and women across the United States and abroad rescue themselves, employ proven survival skills and resurrect their lives. There is a strong hunger in the world for the rewards of a lasting, soul-satisfying relationship—but most people don't know how to find the right person, create that sacred bond, and make it last!
- Break Up, Don't Break Down is a best seller for a reason. Dr. D Ivan Young is an engaging speaker, exceptionally gifted teacher and conducts one on one sessions, life-changing workshops, and live events across the country.
- The first step toward developing a good relationship with anyone else begins with knowing and understanding all aspects of yourself. You may have charisma and a good personality, but if you don't know how to use what you've got, or how to effectively communicate with others, you're doomed.
- Dr. D Ivan Young has time-tested, easy-to-practice, techniques, and principles which have been proven effective for everyone, regardless of gender, race, nationality, religion, or level of education.
Why It's Important
- The United States ranks sixth among the global community in highest divorce rates.
- About 59% of America's population of 300 million is married, and while 90% of Americans look forward to married life, divorce, and break up rates are still rising.
- Research indicates, in comparison with unmarried persons, married persons tend to exhibit greater physical, emotional, and economic well-being.
- Children in households with two married parents differ from those in other types of households on measures such as child achievement.
- Fewer black men and women have been married at all ages relative to white and Hispanic men and women.
- Higher proportions of men were never married while higher proportions of women were widowed and divorced.
- In recent years, the proportion of women who were divorced more than doubled while the corresponding proportion of men more than tripled.
- Over the years, the number of male-maintained family households and female-maintained family households, both with no spouse present, increased. During the same time period, the proportion of female-maintained family households with no husband present was more than double that of their male counterparts.
- A recent CDC survey indicates that over two million people were married in 2008. For every 1000 Americans, there were 7.1 marriages of which 3.5 of those marriages ended in divorce. Since 2008, the numbers have only gotten worse. This doesn't include families that didn't participate in the survey, or those that co-habitate. They don't fare any better.
Why Dr. D Ivan Young is at the Heart of this Vital Story
- Statistics continuously illustrate a growing need for solution-oriented approaches to rescue men and women from the harsh realities associated with broken relationships.
- While many relationship and life coaching experts focus on entertainment value, few deliver hard-hitting and solution-based tool-kit approaches to dealing with seemingly hopeless and broken situations. Especially while preparing someone to with the actual skills needed to move on with their lives.
- Break Up, Don't Break Down, and his new book Another Chance…Where Would You Be Without One!, released in January 2013, this life changing body of work went far beyond empty promises associated with many similar self-help products in the marketplace. Picking up where wonderful, transformative books, like The Secret, Purpose Driven Life, and Conversations with God, left off, Dr. D Ivan Young's Another Chance…Where Would You Be Without One! is a step by step guide for those seeking lasting and rewarding change in their lives.
- Many authors seek to make readers feel good while missing the mark on that which really matters most to the reader. People need proven strategies for life, love, and relationships that will actually enable and empower both women and men to start living a profoundly extraordinary life. Be it in person, by video consultation, webinar, in front of an intimate group or before millions on TV; there's good reason why it benefits you to know why Dr. D Ivan Young is considered to be one of the best Life Coaches in the world, and one of the leading authorities on life, love and relationships.
- Dr. D Ivan Young's works aren't the fabrication of ghost writers. His experience, education, proven methods and success rate speak for themselves.
- He's accessible. Break the cycle, change the course your life is on, reserve your appointment by clicking here, or call 877.508.2025 ext 102

The newspaper report has claimed some interesting facts. According to the report published, the daylight prank was brought to light by the CBI who apparently unearthed the fraud way back in Sept 9, 2007 and intimated the matter to the Telecom Secretary. The telephone lines were apparently not under Maran"s name but in the name of Chief General Manager BSNL Chennai. The lines were used for the purpose of Maran"s family business and have caused huge losses to BSNL.
Maran in other words ran a virtual telephone exchange at his home in Chennai. How else could you explain 323 telephone lines at his home in Chennai, which is apparently not his work base as Union Minister of Textiles and Minister of Communications and IT prior to that?
The report elaborates on the modus operandi of the fraud and explains how the the 3.4 km long secret underground cables through public roads were exclusively dedicated to connect his Boat Club home to the SUN TV office at Anna Arivalayam in Anna Salai, Chennai. He is alleged to have illegally linked the 323 home lines to his brother Kalanidhi's SUN TV network. The first 23 of the lines were from '243722 11' to '24372301', while the next 300 lines had numbers from '24371500' to '24371799'.
In a systematic approach to dupe the system, the CBI found that the con has been operational since a couple of months starting Jan 2007 through an illegal cable connection from Maran"s Boat Club home, according to the report. The telephone lines were costly ISDN lines capable of "video conferencing, transmission of huge volume of digital data of audio and video," according to the CBI report that was mentioned in the newspaper report.
The CBI in its report that was published through the Indian Express article gave away the extent to which Maran bent the rules in his own favour and said that the exchange was "programmed in such a way that no one other than the authorised BSNL staff was aware of the existence of such an Exchange created for his [minister"s] exclusive use." He is also alleged to have misused the cabling system that ran through the heart of Chennai to facilitate connectivity from his residence to the Sun TV offices.
With yet another fraud emerging that holds the Maran stamp, the exact loss caused to the BSNL could be somewhere around Rs 440 crore, says the report. It was not just the Sun TV but his sister concern Dinakaran, too that has been presumably involved in the fraud. With no tangible action on the CBI report for close to 44 months, the emergence of this report at this point could prove fatal to the already dwindling DMK popularity.

January 25th, 2007, 10:52 AM #1Looking for a good poll script
I was hoping someone could recommend a good free poll script (PHP?) to me. I want to implement polls on one of my sites to increase interactivity. Here's an example of the type of question/answer structure I'd like to use:
Where do you shop for new DVDS?
- online
- at video rental locations
- at other brick-and-mortar stores
I'd like to find a script that will display the results of the polls in percentage form only (e.g. "50% of voters shop for DVDs at video rental locations), just in case I don't get anyone voting! I don't want my visitors to see that only three people voted.
Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can find a script like this?

ATLANTA - On Monday, a new chapter was to open for Georgia Tech.
At least, that's how the Yellow Jackets wanted to view things.
Anxious to turn the page from a painful, soul-numbing four-point loss in the ACC tournament title game to Duke on Sunday, they hoped to put the events of the past four months behind them and focus instead on what lies ahead.
"It still stings a little bit," forward Gani Lawal said of the loss Sunday evening, moments after learning the newly No. 10-seeded Yellow Jackets were to play seven-seed Oklahoma State in Milwaukee during the NCAA Tournament's opening round this weekend. "(We need to) just take this night to mourn a little bit and then start getting ready for Friday."
When they arrive to the Bradley Center in time for a 7:15 p.m. tip-off with the Cowboys (22-10), the fresh-slate Yellow Jackets will have taken a bold step toward a goal that, exactly one week ago, very few believed they could accomplish.
Mired in controversy, Georgia Tech pre-conference tournament was ground zero for a potential basketball-themed, distraction-filled circus. Just weeks removed from the now infamous Twittergate saga in which head coach Paul Hewitt tried to distance himself from critics using the online message site, discussion outside the program calling for his ouster ramped up.
At the same time, the Yellow Jackets, labeled a team on the bubble, were forced to play a weeklong postseason guessing game all while licking their wounds from back-to-back ACC losses that ended the regular season.
Then suddenly, the light bulb went off.
Learning curve
Streaking to three consecutive wins in the conference tournament before falling to Duke, Georgia Tech - which finished 7-9 in ACC play this season - caught the attention of the national tournament Selection Committee and muscled its way into the Big Dance.
Despite the loss in the final, the Yellow Jackets (22-12) contend the entire tournament taught them a lot about themselves during the four-day romp through the ACC.
"We learned we can accomplish on a big stage what we've been doing in practice," senior guard D'Andre Bell said. "We've been successful. Success always spawns continued success."
For junior guard Moe Miller, the tournament lesson came in the form of a newfound desire to play a scrappy, never-say-die brand of basketball.
"We knew we had it in us all along, we just had to put it out on the line and just play every possession. Stop taking possessions off," Miller said. "That's what we did coming into this tournament. We just wanted to play to not only prove to the people out there who doubt us, but to ourselves, too, that we're an elite program."
Late in Sunday's game, there were no possessions that the Yellow Jackets took off. Battling back from down nine with 3:37 left in the game, they went on a run that brought them within mere inches of a game-tying score with a minute left.
Staying focused
As Miller went for a 3-pointer that would have knotted the game up, the ball, beginning to roll through the hoop, rimmed out for a long Georgia Tech rebound instead. Fifteen seconds later, freshman forward Derrick Favors finished a hard two-handed dunk that brought it to within one, before Jon Scheyer's three-pointer from the low wing all but buried the Yellow Jackets seconds later.
"It says a lot about what these guys are capable of doing. It says a lot about them being really focused, especially these last few days," Hewitt said of the late-game loss. "Obviously, at the end, (Scheyer) stepped up and made an unbelievable shot. To have the courage to step up after being 1-for-8 and taking a three that ... it was a big play."
Hewitt went on to add that had Scheyer missed his shot, he anticipated a long rebound, and the Yellow Jackets would recover it, and with the game clock inside 20 seconds, would wind time down to the take the last shot. Down two at the time, Hewitt felt his team would have won the game.
"Teams make runs. As long as you've got time on that clock, anything can happen," Miller said. "If you've been watching basketball over this week, that's a proven point."
Now that the madness of March has officially begun, the Yellow Jackets have learned to cling close to that proven fact.

text: We are pretty good friends, we know one another and get on well. I remember that when I lost to Fernando González in Australia, having had to retire because of cramp in the fifth set, Nadal came over to me in the locker room. I was shattered, in a very bad way, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said: "Don't worry about it, the same thing happened to me two years ago when I was your age." Things like that fill me with pride and I really value them." - Juan Martin del Potro in June 2007 "I don't know if you can draw up a tougher scenario than playing Nadal on clay, away, in front of his fans. Even Roger (Federer) on grass you can serve and the points are a bit quicker. This is probably the toughest scenario there is. [...] I felt like I hit the ball okay. In my opinion he is the greatest clay-courter of all time, and I'm not a great clay-courter, and it's tough especially when he comes out and hits it like he did today." - Andy Roddick "He seems to be only getting better." - John McEnroe "...a multi-surface wonder, the likes of which we haven't seen since the days of Bjorn Borg." - Inside Tennis "Still the same player even if he now wears shorts and tee shirt. And he's really nice, never gets big-headed, completely adorable." - Gaël Monfils blogging during AO '09 By the way he acts in the players lounge and the locker room, you can already see it: he's a leader, a winner. You don't even have to stand on the court to see that. He's an alert guy, cool, determined, vigorous, respectful. This guy simply has class. And the way he has played in the previous year was gruelingly good. I followed the Wimbledon final with my mouth wide open. I could only be utterly amazed by so much class. - Tommy Haas (January 23, 2009) "He beat me when he was just 14-years-old. I consoled myself thinking that I had lost to a future Grand Slam winner." - Pat Cash "To say that three-time Roland Garros champion Nadal is a humble guy is an understatement." - Inside Tennis "What Nadal has done on clay over the past three years is nothing short of remarkable. To be as dominant as he has been, winning 100 out of 101 matches! That's one of the greatest achievements in the history of tennis, and I don't feel like it is recognized to the extent it deserves." - Pete Sampras "He makes his brain work more than his legs. He's the smarter player on the tour. " - Mats Wilander "If he hadn't competed in the Games as a tennis player but if he had chosen another sport, there's no doubt that he would have gone for gold as well. Nadal is a sportsman through and through and more and more, he's becoming a fantastic ambassador for the tennis sport." - Richard Krajicek Personally I'd hope so because he's a great guy. What he's done, how he plays on all surfaces, he deserves to be world No.1. There's no doubt that his name should be up there with the greats of the game.'' - Lleyton Hewitt "What he did to (Roger) Federer in the final of Roland Garros, isn't something any other tennis player in the earth would do. Rafa destroyed Roger at France and later earned the Wimbledon title, which is far from his favorite surface. I believe that was an extraordinary effort. Nadal definitely deserves to be #1 in the world." - Lleyton Hewitt "I'm not as familiar with mental requirements for other sports, but I can't believe there could be an athlete better (mentally) than Nadal." - Jarkko Nieminen "He's probably still one of the best players of all time and he's never been No. 1 in the world.That's incredible, and it shows incredible heart that he's kept the No.2 ranking for so long. It shows incredible kind of mental fortitude to keep pushing, keep getting better, keep striving for that No. 1 ranking. He's proven he's, by far, the greatest No. 2 of all time." - James Blake Look, I'm not sure if it's just his forehand. Let's say it's more his movement than anything else. His forehand and backhand [it] seems are never going to break down really, especially on clay. I can't see people talking about his backhand being a weakness. It's amazing what kind of pace he can get off the backhand and how good his slice has become. People underestimate his game entirely. - Roger Federer "It's impossible not to be motivated by him..... He motivates every one of us." - Tommy Robredo "Rafa is a great person. Mind, I'm soaping him because I want to win when I play Playstation with him tonight." - Nicolas Almagro

The Palm Beach Zoo is small compared to, say, the Miami zoo (which I didn't like that much), but the PBZoo is beautiful, very clean, and well kept. The smaller size precludes the addition of animals that require lots of space, like giraffes, rhinos, and elephants (which Zoo Miami does have, and has the room for them). But don't let that dissuade you.My favorites are the big cats, and they have Panthers, Tigers, Jaguars, and African Servals (small big cats). They're all beautiful and I feel fortunate to see them close and in person. The tiger enclosure is especially nice, if a bit small, with a pond and a waterfall for them to play in. Leading to the tiger pen from the west side you'll walk through a bamboo forest that sometimes has mist added, and embedded tiger tracks in the walkway, which is an ingenious touch and really sets the mood to prepare you for a tiger confontation. Well done.Walking a zoo the size of the Palm Beach Zoo is relaxing, while I found walking Zoo Miami exhausting. I know I got tired of dodging pedal cars clogging the walkways there… (Imagine trying to shop at Publix if 3/4 of the shoppers are riding in those little scooters and you're pushing a cart; that's what trying to walk around Zoo Miami was like.)The structures built for the 'Tropics of the Americas' section are fantastic and my favorites (a Mayan pyramid, sacrificial altars you can get your picture taken on, and other Central America-themed creations), very realistic, and quite picturesque. The 'Amazon Marketplace' is also really cool. There is tropical foliage throughout, some of it labeled, which is great for those that are interested and wishing to learn about plant life as well at the animals here. While not quite a tropical garden as the likes of the Naples Zoo, it is close enough that I'm surprised this place is not designated as the "Palm Beach Zoo and Botanical Garden". The lush settings alone are a good reason to visit the zoo to hang out and relax. Just beautiful.This zoo was badly damaged by hurricanes in the mid-90s and partially rebuilt, so much of the zoo is newer and up-to-date. It shows.I've not had much interaction with staff, other than the ticket booth personnel, but others have praised the employees here. The size of the zoo is perfect for a few-hour walkabout, and perfectly sized for those with small kids. There is a lot of shade to be found for the hotter days (something sorely lacking at Zoo Miami), an interactive ground-level fountain located just past the main entrance that is usually teeming with small children having lots of fun, and a reasonably-priced cafe for basic foods and drinks. A gift shop sits at the zoo exit, where you can buy rare, dangerous, and exotic animals that are being retired by the zoo (just kidding! but there really is a gift shop… However, the toy animals sold there are all cute, not dangerous, soft and squishy, and happy to go home with you).The zoo sits astride the interstate and so is easy to reach, sitting between the Southern Blvd. and Forest Hill exits. Again, much more convenient to reach than Zoo Miami. On the same property and immediately north of the zoo is the South Florida Science Museum and Aquarium, which is, unfortunately like almost all museums nowadays, geared almost exclusively towards young children. Zoos, however, can be equally enjoyed by people of any age, and the Palm Beach Zoo is one of the best. Good enough that I have bought a yearly pass. Highly recommended.

Awesome and cute. A trip once or twice will suffice for a young adult that way you don't get jaded. Kids love it though and i love the safari
Brian James
This is the best zoo in the south florida area. The prices are reasonable, the staff friendly, and the activities and animals absolutely lovely. My family and I always have fun when we go here once a month. We cant wait to go back and spend a few days in the palm beach area to really explore the zoo
Seth Goldfinger
Really cute smaller zoo. I like that we could see everything in a few hours. My daughter loved the monkeys and flamingos. We will definitely be back!
Marcelo Oliveira
We like it so much that we purchased the year pass. For kids it's always a great adventure. The facility is really well kept, and has a considerable variety of animals. Our 3 yr old loves the carousel at the palm beach zoo.

This alarmist outlook on the secularization of America is nothing new. Beginning in the early Reagan years (some actually argue as far back as the Johnson administration) there has been an active pursuit by those on the right to distort our nations history; all in an attempt to prove that America was in fact founded as a "Christian Nation". This, despite a preponderance of evidence pointing to the contrary.
Take for example one of our nations founding documents, the Declaration of Independence. Those on the right have attempted to use phrases found in the document such as "natures god" and "endowed by their creator" as proof of their hypothesis. The problem with this is that it completely overlooks, not only the context of those phrases, but more importantly the deeply held philosophy of its author, Thomas Jefferson.
By all accounts, Thomas Jefferson was a Deist. To him, "natures god" was another way of describing the empirical universe that surrounded him. Not to say that he didn't believe in a god of some sort, but he in no way believed in a personal god or a god of the Abrahamic tradition. That is, he refused to believe that there was a heavenly father figure that spent time answering prayers or supernaturally intervening in the lives of humans in any way.
Not only did he ascribe to a natural "god" akin to that of Einstein's, but he also despised religion and the corruption found within religious institutions. In a letter from 1816 he writes "My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built on the purest of all moral systems, for the purpose of deriving from it pence and power, revolts those who think for themselves, and who read in that system only what is really there". This quote lends a lot to his views on the the authority of the church, but what about the authority of the bible?
Well, if you ever get a chance to make it to the Jefferson wing of the Library of Congress be sure to take a look at his personal bible. In it you will find no miracles. No virgin birth, no water to wine, no resurrection. This is because he cut them out. He literally took a razor blade to his copy of the New Testament and removed the "ignorance, absurdity and untruths" held within. He simply cut out the myths.
The other document constantly quoted by the right on this matter is of course the Constitution. This 222 year old document is the oldest of its kind, written by some of the brightest Enlightenment figures in our nations history. Immense thought and effort was put into every word during its drafting. So much so that only 27 amendments have been made to date. Of those, surely some of them mention Jesus or at least Christianity?
Actually, no. Not at all. The only real mention of religion in the entire document is made to ensure that you have the freedom to practice (or not practice) any faith you choose, and that no single religion or religious affiliation could be a prerequisite for holding public office. This is because its drafters, men like John Adams and James Madison, knew all too well of the horrors found within European governments and the power struggles they continuously had with the church and it's leaders.
There is another important document from the early days of the republic that those on the right conveniently leave out of this debate. In 1797 congress unanimously ratified and then President John Adams signed into effect the Treaty of Tripoli. In this two page document you will find the phrase "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion…". Historians say the phrase was intended to ensure the Muslims of the Barbary Coast that they shouldn't fear a holy war from the United States. Although this document is not as important as say The Constitution, it does lend credence to the fact that our founders saw a definite separation between church and state.
So, putting the Republicans alternate history lesson on the founding of the country behind us, what merit (if any) do the current Republican candidates hold on the assertion that the Obama administration is waging a "war on Christianity"? Basically, they only have a couple of policies.
Obamas healthcare plan is in the forefront of this debate because it denies federal funding for religious health institutions that refuse to provide contraception to women. In their view, this denies their first amendment right to free speech, in that It keeps them from openly practicing aspects of their faith.
The problem with this outlook is that from the Obama Administrations stance, it has nothing to do with a war on religion. On the contrary, it has everything to do with the Federal government funding potentially harmful religious practices that could deny things like birth control pills and basic healthcare to a section of the female population that may have no other alternatives.
No one is saying the Catholic Church needs to be handing out Plan B from the confession booth. What they are saying is that if you are going to be a hospital or a pharmacy that receives federal funding, you can't deny a basic health-care product or procedure from a patient for purely religious reasons.
To me this seems to be more of a slight stint of rationality than a "war on religion", but I wouldn't expect those on the right to recognize this. After all, this is the same supposed "small government" party that gave Catholic missions groups over 200 million dollars in 2004 to fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa. That's close to a quarter of a billion dollars of federal tax dollars to a group who refuses to recognize the importance of condom use and instead focuses on an abstinence only approach to combat AIDS.
I'm assuming the American public basically funded a soul saving missions trip for the Catholic Church since they obviously weren't focusing on curbing the AIDS epidemic. A mandate that I can guarantee would not have been backed by any of the founding fathers.
The point here is that President Obama is not anti-religion or even anti-Christian. He's simply just not an Evangelical zealot and this scares the shit out of the conservative right. They can continue to paint his administration in this light if they choose, but i like to think that eventually genuine, rational thinking will win out in the eyes of the American public.
The reign of the Evangelical is on the decline politically and socially. Today more college aged Americans identify as Atheist or Agnostic than any other generation in the last 100 years. More people are getting fed up with the ties between political leaders and their corporate interests (which includes religious lobby's) every day and many believe we are finally on the verge of a social/political upheaval.
This "War on Religion" is an imaginary war. It's propagated by neo-cons and religious zealots in an attempt to rewrite the history books of this nation and marginalize the effectiveness of the current President, nothing more.
As the far right continues to push irrational and highly polarizing ideas into the public spectrum, they too will continue to ignore the issues that are truly pressing for most Americans. Things like education and the economy will take a back seat to their imaginary wars and eventually we will reach a breaking point. The longer these true issues are ignored the greater the backlash will eventually be and I for one will be cheering on that backlash every step of the way.

It's almost intimidating.
If a smart home was a living, breathing thing, a smart hub would surely be the brain. With the right hub in place, you can control your army of smart home gadgets like a boss. And if you're still looking for your dream hub, the Wink Hub 2 might just be your match.
The Wink Hub 2 is Wink's second hub, and it brings with a staggering list of enabled IoT radio frequencies and compatible gadgets. It would actually be quicker to name stuff it isn't compatible with. Here's that list: 1. Pretty much nothing.
Equipped with ZigBee, Z-Wave, Kidde, Lutron Clear Connect and, to one-up its predecessor, Bluetooth, the Wink Hub 2 will take practically any gadget under its wing. That's a ton more than a lot of smart hubs can handle; some struggle to even cram in Z-wave.
Of course, you're going to be able to tie in both big and small-fry brands into your home automation system with that kind of functionality, but if you need reminding what they are, try GE, Nest, Philips, Schlage, Honeywell and Kwikset for starters. You can see a full list of brands and gadgets here.
Along with its snazzy line-up of radio frequencies, the Wink Hub 2 adds a new Ethernet port and a much more powerful WiFi radio to support 5 GHz and improve connectivity.
There's also a new auto-discovery feature, which scopes out gadgets in range automatically, then guides you through a setup process to get Wink Hub 2 playing along with your gear. No more clunky manual setup.
Just like the previous hub, it connects to the Wink app on your phone to put your smart home kingdom just a swipe away, giving you the ability to schedule, control and monitor your smart home from your phone screen 24/7.
What's more, if you're limited for space, Wink Hub 2 comes nice and skinny to slot discreetly on your bookshelf.
Wink Hub 2 is coming soon, and will be priced at $99 (around £80). You can go here to track its progress.

Would you do this to your pal? Group of lads put groom in a COFFIN on his stag do
THIS is the hilarious moment a group of mates on a stag do dressed the groom-to-be as a corpse and wheeled him around the streets in a coffin.
Chris White's mates took his last night of freedom quite literally and covered him in deathly-white makeup and propped him up in an upright half-opened coffin.
With his brother Mike dressed as a vicar, and the rest of the 16-strong stag party in black ties, they wheeled him around Manchester to the delight of shocked onlookers.
Thankfully Chris survived the ordeal – despite his coffin tipping over while being wheeled down stairs – and will tie the knot with sweetheart Sarah on Saturday (August 13).
His pal Scott Thomas, from Bristol, said: "It was total chaos.
"We did it at the hotel and set off for the first bar and it took 35 minutes to walk the short distance to the bar because so many people were stopping us and taking photos and chatting."
He added: "It was all during the day and we just got so much attention, people loved it.
"We would go to a bar and leave Chris outside, with the coffin propped up on a sack trolley.
"We would buy him a drink, but he'd be outside pretending to be dead and then come alive when people got close to have a look."
A video of the day shows the moment the mates wheeled Chris over to watch a busker playing in front of a crowd of people.
The lads laid a coat out in front of the groom-to-be as if he was a street performer.
"We must've raised about £100 just for a few minutes and the busker made more than ever," Scott said.
"It was hilarious."
