Saturday, October 27
9 am - 4 pm
with Jisan Tova Green and Keiryu Liên Shutt
Conference Center, 308 Page Street
CEUs available - see note* below.
As people working in the health professions, our efforts go towards helping others in need every day. It can be hard to say no or to stop in the midst of our busy days to check in and see how we feel or what we may need.
Do you find it difficult to balance caring for others and caring for yourself? If so, this workshop will help you explore ways to tune into yourself in the midst of a demanding work setting and to get support from others – co-workers, employers, friends and others outside of work.
This retreat will include Zen contemplative practices (sitting and walking meditation), Dharma teachings, and exercises to identify our needs, clarify our boundaries, and develop methods of self-care.
The morning will be dedicated to settling ourselves through walking and sitting meditation. In the afternoon we will explore how to balance caring for others and self care through exercises and small group discussions on issues such as practicing wise effort, internal vs. external focus, and what it really means to be compassionate to ourselves and others.
Fees: $60; $54 current SFZC members; $48 limited income, with scholarships available. (See the website or email firstname.lastname@example.com for a scholarship application). Lunch and tea are included. *Add $15 for CEU certificate fee, to be paid at the time of registration.

Your vote could help a Summerville schoolteacher become a finalist for a national award.
Kathy Green, a fifth-grade teacher at Summerville Elementary School, is in the running for the for LIVE with Kelly and Michael's Top Teacher award. On Friday the hosts of the morning talk show, Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, announced Green was one of 12 semifinalists for the show's fourth annual Top Teacher Search contest.
Green was in the middle of a lesson when the announcement was made. School officials taped the portion of the show during which the semifinalists were named and surprised the teacher shortly after by playing the recording for her class. As Green's name was announced her students and students from surrounding classrooms who had been brought into the hallway outside Green's room for the surprise, joined together for a thunderous round of applause. Green had not been aware she was in the running.
"We should all be very proud of Mrs. Green," SES Principal Lori Dibble told the students. "She is already a District Two Teacher of the Year and now she is being considered for a national award because of the work she does in this classroom."
Five Top Teacher finalists will be chosen based on online voting, which began immediately after the announcement. Voting will continue through 5 p.m. April 15 and the five finalists will be announced on the show April 16.
Go to http://livekellyandmichael.dadt.com/contests/top-teacher-search-13/vote-login/ to vote or view information on all 12 semifinalists. Individuals can vote once a day.
Green was nominated for the contest by Kristin Schulz. Her daughter, Lydia, was in Green's fourth-grade class last year and is in her fifth-grade class this year.
Green is one of only two elementary school teachers to be named a semifinalist. The group also includes eight high school teachers, one junior high teacher and one middle school teacher.

Google UK's homepage links to Gmail: "Free email with 2.8GB storage and less spam. Try Google Mail (BETA)." If you click on the link, you'll be sent to a different template of Gmail's homepage:
The top reason for choosing Gmail is you'll get less spam. "Users say that less spam is one of the top reasons that they love Gmail." It's interesting that Gmail's storage is not that catchy anymore, now that other webmail services have similar or even bigger storage quotas.
Now that Gmail has become more available and will go public pretty soon for everyone, my question is: why would you choose Gmail now?

Knol has recently added a search toolkit that lets you build advanced queries, a feature that wasn't available at launch. Many of the options from Google web search can be used in Knol: phrase search, negative terms, OR search. You can also restrict the search to titles, summaries, authors, reviews, recent knols. Google offers three options for ordering the results: by relevance, by creation date, by last modified date and an interesting "reverse sort".
The advanced search option should be a good way to discover knols related to a topic, but it fails to properly rank the knols. In a search for [Google Reader], the top result is a page copied from Google Reader's help center that has a higher rating than the second result, which is more relevant. If you don't use the advanced search, Knol shows less but better results.
A search for [the] returns 29315 results (507 edited in the past 24 hours), which should be close to the total number of knols, but many of them include content that already exists on the web, aren't very detailed or well-formatted. You can still find some good knols, but the signal-to-noise ration seems to be low. The knols that receive some attention are those that are featured on the homepage, but Google only features 5 hand-picked knols daily.

Food has always been a fun and gratifying part of my life. Rich flavors, spectacular colors, and seductive aromas all fuel my quest for the best food in San Diego! I've lived in SD for the past 16 years and can't imagine living anywhere else. Great food can be found anywhere (on a street corner, or the finest Michelin rated restaurant). Variety and balance is what I seek. I definitely have a sweet tooth (like much of my family), but I also enjoy the savory side just as much!

Was wondering if any Stephen King fans can help me with this - I read Carrie a few months ago whilst listening to the audio mp3 with Sissy Spacek reading and noticed a few differences in the text whilst reading along. THere were a few names changed like in the first few pages of the story - Westover and Lewiston were replaced with Andover or Boxford - names like Donna Thibodeau and her sister Mary Lila Grace was replaced with her sister Fern, Lila Grace - when it talks of Carrie going to Christian Youth Camp and in the other its Christian Church Camp - and many other little changes her and there.
Was wanting to know if one of these is a revised edition of the text, if so which is the original and which is the newer version.
Have also noticed this reading Salems Lot, a few little word changes here and there in different editions of the books. In the first chapter Ben (i) in the 1983 book he says he is seven years old, and in the 2007 illustrated book its changed to nine years old. Did King do revised versions of these books changing a few things here and there?

As I gaze out my office window, a stiff and steady west wind is sending tiny tornados of snow, tumbling across the frozen ground in my side yard, and finally the wind-driven snow is beginning to pile up.
After putting up with yet another dry, unseasonably warm and notably extended autumn, it appears winter has finally arrived.
The fierce, winter winds of the new season whip the landscape with a ferocity that appears to punish occupants for imposing yet another unnatural delay on the earth's natural rhythms of seasonal adjustments.
Winter is the only season that shares its wealth across the span of man's marked time, as it punctuates the calendar year from beginning to end. This may be the reason the season seems to be so persistent in the Great North Woods.
Nearly all the seasons descend upon the landscape gradually. Spring's greens push their way up through the soil, as buds slowly appear among the previously, barren wooden skeletons of the past season's forest.
Wildflowers will dot the marshes, as songbirds and peepers begin to sing from the bogs, as if announcing the arrival of the new season.
Summer follows slowly along, in a push and shove contest with the spring, and it isn't considered complete until the waters finally warm up enough to accept swimmers, as lighting bugs begin to blink in the warm, night air.
Eventually autumn rolls around and in no time it to gracefully unfolds like an Old Persian rug, to unveil all of the finest splendors a fine forest can afford.
The fall season arrives as a grand kaleidoscope of colors takes over the land, and slowly the sweet, moist, pungency of decay begins to perfume the mountain air.
A host of natural sights, sounds and scents continue to tickle the senses, as the season wears on, until slowly, gradually, and almost imperceptibly, the woodlands begin to shed their natural Technicolor Dreamcoats.

Have any of you read through the comic series of the Walking Dead or are you watching it fresh like me? :D

Have any of you read through the comic series of the Walking Dead or are you watching it fresh like me? :D
I have the read the books Rise of the Governor and Road to Woodbury...both give excellent insight to background of the governor and how he got to be where he is. I do not think I should read Comics until the end of the series. I do not want to spend time saying Uh -uh did not happen that way in Comics.
The comic series and the television show, while very similar, are actually pretty different. A big theme in the comics was ... ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. And if you go into a television series that is 100% faithful to the comics, then nothing is a surprise. But what they did with the television show, is they sometimes do things completely different. Some characters die, some live, new characters are created, new storylines ... So, the theme is still ... ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
I think that the governor is now way upset and things are going to get really interesting....
I got stabbed in the eye with a huge piece of glass. *shiver*
IT is going to be just short time before TWD is back on-If the previews are any indications, should be action packed.
It's been too long, hasn't it? I can't wait! So many good storylines to keep us hanging.
Did anyone see the Walking Dead Clean up commercial with Daryl? Quite Funny
I am a huge fan of TWD. I just watched the first season over again. The week before, I watched the entire 3rd season On Demand - in one day. It is not the zombies that fascinate me, although they were the initial draw, but the people and how they cope with the end of the world as they knew it. Glen is one of my favorites. We have been able to watch him grow from a pizza delivery guy to a strong man and a real asset to his group. When Merle taped him to a chair and threw a walker at him, I was so impressed by the way he handled himself - and the walker. Not to sound cliche, but Glen rocks!! I can't wait to see what will happen next. The Governor has to be very bad news for our valiant little band of survivors.

LA JOLLA, Calif. --- Chattanooga Mocs senior Steven Fox (Hendersonville, Tenn.) shot 78 (+6) today missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open at historic Torrey Pines. His 36-hole total of 148 (+4) was five strokes off the one-under par (143) cut line.
Fox played the South Course today. His 148 tied him with Aaron Watkins, Brandt Jobe and Matt Jones. Several big names from the PGA Tour (Keegan Bradley, Scott Stallings, Stewart Cink, John Daly, Angel Cabrera, Y.E. Yang) and recent collegiate stars now on tour (Bud Cauley, Patrick Cantlay, Kyle Stanley, Scott Langley, Morgan Hoffmann) join Fox in missing the weekend.
"Obviously it was a great experience for Steven," said Head Coach Mark Guhne. "We're proud of him. He came out strong in the first 18 and got a taste of life on tour and what it takes to be successful. It's not an easy task to make a cut and he made a good run at it."
The Mocs and Fox tee it up in a few weeks at the Bayou City Collegiate February 22-24. The tourney, hosted by Houston, is played at Redstone Golf Club in Humble, Texas, site of the PGA Tour's Shell Houston Open.GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs.

In the spirit of Halloween I wanted to find a haunted house to visit, like the downtown jail. I am not a big believer in ghosts but growing up everyone knew a friend who had a haunted room in their home. It was fun to visit a "haunted house" and let my imagination take over.
The problem with ghosts, they are camera shy so that would have been a short blog. As luck would have it I found the next best thing... living ghosts. The Confederate Ghost Walk at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston is an annual fund raising event hosted by the Confederate Heritage Trust, Inc. for maintenance and repair of monuments at the cemetery. Volunteer actors perform historically accurate skits that relate to Confederate Soldiers buried in the cemetery.

FREEPORT— The War of Highway 4 resumed Tuesday night on the road as the Baker and Jay squared off in the opening game of the District 2-1A girls basketball tournament at Freeport.
Powered by a strong first-half performance the Gators rolled to a 54-44 win to advance to the tournament semifinal game against Chipley on Thursday.
"We did some things well in spurts tonight," Gator coach Brian Wagner said. We did not do some things as well as I would like to for the full game. It's going to take a full game against a team like Chipley.
"When we pressure the ball well it allows us to get more into the flow of the game and our offense run a little easier. The times we have had lulls in games have been when maybe we were not applying pressure. When you get a steal with an opportunity to score you have a little more incentive than you do otherwise."
The teams traded baskets the first three-and-a-half minutes of the first quarter and Carissa Munford lead the Royal charge with six quick points and Cassidy Anderson had a hot hand for the Gators as the teams were tied at 8-8.
An Anderson scored put Baker (16-6) up 10-8 and sparked a 14-5 Gator run to close out the first half.
Baker led 22-13 at the end of the first quarter and quickly stretched the lead to double digits as Bethany Chestnut got the hot hand in second period for the Gators as they pushed the lead to 35-18 at the break.
The Royals tried to fight back in the third quarter as sloppy play by the Gators allowed Jay to keep at least a glimmer of hope as it cut the Baker lead to 41-28 at the end of third quarter.
Whatever hope the Royals might have had faded quickly at the hands of Sarah Hudson who nine of her 17 points in the first three minutes and 10 seconds of the fourth quarter.
A Hudson 3-pointer with 4:50 left in the game put Baker up 54-30 and was the last the score of the game for the Gators as Wagner emptied the bench with about four minutes left in the game.
With the Baker backups on the floor the Royals scored the last 14 points of the game but it wasn't enough as they ended their season with a 5-18 record.
"It's always nice when you get an opportunity to play everyone, particularly some of the younger ones," Wagner said. "I'm senior laden any way so when I get the opportunity to play some of the younger ones and give them significant minutes it's always good."
Anderson led the Gators with 18 points. Hudson added 17 and Chestnut's 11 points gave Baker three players in double figures.
Hillary Hendricks scored 16 points to lead the Royals in scoring.

The marrow bones are set on the bottom of a roasting pan along with onions and garlic that have been caramelized. The seared beef is placed on top and stock and butter are added before this meaty dish is roasted in the oven to a rosy medium-rare. More

A 30-point explosion in the third quarter helped Carroll County stay undefeated Wednesday night, blasting Grayson County 81-61 in Hillsville.
The Blue Devils had given Carroll County (17-0, 5-0 SWD) its toughest game of the season on Dec. 21, a 74-73 overtime Cavalier victory in Independence in which Grayson County (11-5) led by 11 points in the fourth quarter. With Carroll County coming off a tough four-point road win at Abingdon the night before, and Grayson playing on eight days rest, the Blue Devils looked ripe to hand the Cavs their first loss of the season early on.
Making six of its first nine shots from the floor, Grayson raced out to a 15-10 lead before Carroll ended the opening quarter on a 15-2 run. Even so, the Blue Devils kept things tight, cutting the Cavalier advantage to 34-31 at the half on Landon Frost's basket inside.
Then the third quarter started.
Connor Lundy and Chris Smoot combined to score 20 points in the third quarter alone as Carroll absolutely scorched the nets. Lundy drilled three 3-pointers in the frame, finishing with 13 of his 15 points in the third quarter, while Smoot scored all nine of his points in the third to extend the Cavalier lead to 20 points, 64-44 heading into the fourth.
'That's the best quarter we've played all year. We didn't get to do what we wanted to do as far as trapping the ball (with Lundy and Cody Keith in first-half foul trouble)," Carroll County head coach Brad Hawks said. "We need to do a better job cutting off somebody else's run early without burning all out timeouts. But in the second half we gave up one offensive rebound and I thought that was really good."
Carroll opened the third quarter on an 8-0 run as Smoot and Lundy made back-to-back baskets before Lundy struck again with a 3-pointer for a 41-33 Cavalier edge. Carroll upped the cushion to 13 four minutes later as Lundy keyed a 7-0 run, sandwiching a driving shot off the glass and another long-range bomb around an Austin Horton basket. Later in the period, Lundy nailed his third 3-pointer of the quarter and Cody Keith scored off a Ryan Gravley assist to up the lead to 64-43.
"We came out ready to play in the second half and that is unusual for this bunch," Hawks said. "We usually give up runs of seven or eight points in the third quarter."
A Gunnar Beamer 3-pointer gave the Cavs their biggest lead at 71-46 early in the fourth to put the game to bed. With Lundy and Keith both in foul trouble, Reece made the most of extended minutes, scoring 13 points on a variety of nice post moves.
"Duncan came to play tonight. The kid rebounded and got good looks down low, got himself in position to score," Hawks said. "He played well all the way through the second half and you can't ask for more out of one your big guys."
Gravley led the Cavaliers with 19 points, tying Grayson's Ty Cannady for a game high. With Grayson playing so well early, Hawks was happy to see his team avoid a repeat of an almost identical situation last year, when the Cavs followed up a two-point win at Abingdon with a loss the next day against Pulaski County.
"Last year at Abingdon we had a big, emotional victory and went to Pulaski and laid an egg. I was real happy with the way the kids responded," Hawks said. "That was one of the things I talked to them before the game about was 'Let's not pull that stunt this year. Let's just worry about nothing but Grayson County. Abingdon is over, let's put that to bed.' I thought the guys did a good job of that against a Grayson County team that is hard to handle."
Grayson 17..14..13..17 - 61

And because people don't fix their animals and are incredibly irresponsible there is an insane amount of over-population. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough money or room to go around. So when you have an older animal that has been around for months and months that no one wants to adopt and it's taking the place of six kittens that can be adopted quickly, what would you suggest they do?
Try doing a little research first or volunteering at an animal shelter before you make judgements. The situation isn't perfect but at least there are people who try instead of expecting someone else to do something about it.

This application is a national phase filing under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Application No. PCT/ZA01/00081, file Jun. 13, 2001.
The invention relates generally to an intelligent switch which is suitable for controlling the use of a battery driven device such as a flashlight, toy, motor or the like and, more particularly, is concerned with an intelligent electrical device of the kind described in the applicant's international application No. PCT/ZA99/00107.
In the PCT application mechanical switches function as a man-machine-interface ("MMI") between the device and an operator. The MMI functions are controlled by very low current signals using touch pads, carbon coated membrane type switches or similar mechanisms. A microchip is responsive to input signals from the MMI and can, according to application, be used in various ways. For example with a flashlight the MMI may control the on/off operation of the flashlight, cause the flashlight to be turned off after a predetermined time, provide an indication of battery strength, or enable the flashlight to be operated with a desired flashing sequence. Various other features can also be achieved through the judicious use of the microchip and reference is made to the specification of the PCT application for a further description of such features.
The applicant is aware of a number of systems which provide an indication of the charge left in a battery.
Osterhout et al (U.S. Pat. No. 4,876,632) describes a circuit which detects the closed circuit voltage of a battery pack used in a flashlight. Based on predetermined reference voltages the battery life is shown in one of three categories. The circuit is activated by an on/off switch of a flashlight and does not function when the flashlight is off. This is to ensure that there is no power consumption when the flashlight is off. If however the circuit should function when the light is off the open circuit voltage of the battery will be measured and this will give a misleading indication of the available battery life.
Mallory (U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,525) and Weber (U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,697) relate to the provision of constant illumination by flashlights. Much can be gained in terms of quality of light and operating life of light bulbs by maintaining constant power through a light bulb. It is to be noted that in most instances the voltage which is supplied by a battery varies quite extensively over its usable life. Mallory makes use of an RC filter to determine an effective current and time measurement. Based on component selection the duty cycle of a current delivered to a light bulb at a specific voltage can be determined.
Weber uses a different technique wherein power is dissipated in a variable resistor or transistor element. This approach is wasteful of power.
The present invention is concerned with various modifications and improvements which can be made to the microchip and to the embodiments of the invention described or claimed in the specification of the PCT application. To the extent which may be necessary for an understanding of the present invention the disclosures in the specification of the PCT application are to be read in conjunction with this specification and, where applicable, such disclosures are to be deemed to be incorporated into this specification.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a switching circuit for controlling the supply of power from an exhaustible power source to a load, which includes a control circuit, a power switch which is controlled by the control circuit and which, when closed, connects the power source to the load, and at least one signal switch which is connected to the control circuit, and wherein the control circuit provides at least one function selected from the following:
A specific sequence of operations of the signal switch may be interpreted to provide for the application of power to the load for an indefinite period, ie. effectively permanently, until terminated according to a different criterion.
In another embodiment if the signal switch is held on for an extended period the power switch may be operated in such a way that a dimming or reduced power operation results.
In a variation the power switch is closed for a predetermined period which is a function of the duration of a time period for which the signal switch is operated.
According to a second aspect of the invention the control circuit includes the ability to monitor the voltage level of the exhaustible power source (ie. a battery) which is connected to the load and when the voltage level drops below the operating voltage of the control circuit an input signal from an input switch to the control circuit is used directly to control the application of power from the battery to the load. It follows that, although the control circuit will be disabled and will not exhibit all its design functions when the battery voltage is too low, the control circuit is nonetheless capable of allowing the maximum extraction of energy from the battery, when required. This can be done without voltage sensitive parts (eg. oscillator and control or decision making logic) of the circuit being operational.
The switching circuit may include a comparison unit for comparing the voltage of the power source, when the power source is connected to the load, to at least one reference voltage thereby to provide an indication of the status of the power source.
The voltage which is compared to the reference voltage is thus the closed circuit voltage of the power source.
The switching circuit may include at least one light emitting device which is energised to provide a visual indication of the said power source status.
The switching circuit may include a memory unit for storing a measure of the voltage of the power source, particularly the closed circuit voltage. This facility means that an indication of the status of the power source is available even though the power switch is open.
The switching circuit may include a measuring unit for measuring the open circuit voltage of the power source, ie. when the power switch is open, and the comparison unit may be adapted for comparing the open circuit voltage measurement to the closed circuit voltage of the power source, and for providing a signal if the open circuit voltage drops below the previously measured closed circuit voltage.
The said reference voltage may be stored in the memory unit. Preferably two or more reference voltages are stored in the memory unit.
The control circuit, in response to the closed circuit voltage of the power source, may control the power switch in order to vary the duty cycle of the current which is passed to the load to achieve a substantially constant power supply to the load.
Preferably in the case in which light emitting devices are used to provide a visual indication of the said power source status at least one of the said light emitting devices is used to act as a find-in-the-dark indicator by causing the said light emitting device to flash at a very low duty cycle, at the same time continuously showing the battery status.
After the circuit has been powered up or down the memory unit may be reset with a fresh measurement of the prevailing open circuit voltage or of the closed circuit voltage of the power source. The control circuit may be adapted to close the power switch automatically and for a short period of time for obtaining a closed circuit voltage measurement of the power source. This can be done for example once every 24 hours.
According to a variation of the invention the power switch is latched on or off, according to requirement, when the power source voltage is too low to cause normal operation of the control circuit ie. when the control circuit enters a non-functioning or reset state which is dependent on the battery voltage.
According to a different aspect of the invention if the switching circuit includes a first signal switch for on/off selection and a second signal switch which selects a plurality of functions then the second signal switch may be enabled to provide an "off" command to the control circuit, and hence of the load which is connected to the control circuit, if the second signal switch is activated a predetermined period (eg. 2 seconds) after the last operation of the second signal switch or first signal switch.
According to a further aspect of the invention the control circuit may include a voltage regulation capability which provides a regulated voltage through the power switch to the load.
The switching circuit may include a timer which controls the said predetermined period and wherein the timer is reset each time the signal switch is operated.
The control circuit may include an input pin or contact to which an input signal is applied from the signal switch. This may take place in any appropriate way eg. by activating the signal switch which is connected to the input pin or contact. Alternatively the control circuit may detect activity by a user in any other appropriate way eg. by monitoring activities at or to all input terminals to the control circuit and, each time an activity is detected, resetting the counter or timer. Thus the delayed switch-off function will only occur if no activity is detected for the full duration of a predetermined period (prior to the switch-off function).
The switching circuit may include a first signal switch which is connected to an edge triggered input of the control circuit and a second signal switch which is connected to a state triggered input of the control circuit and wherein a signal input by the first signal switch causes the power switch to change from a state previously determined by a signal input from the second signal switch, and a signal input by the second signal switch does not cause the power switch to change from a state previously determined by a signal input from the first signal switch.
In this specification the phrases "control circuit" and "microchip" are used interchangeably.
The invention is further described by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
The arrangement shown in
The switch 18 functions as an interface between an operator or any appropriate actuating mechanism, and the control circuit 12, and hence is referred to as a man-machine-interface (MMI) This term is however adopted merely for the sake of convenience for, as noted, the switch could be operated by human intervention or by any mechanism eg. a closing door or other device which acts on the switch. The control circuit 12, in response to signals input from the MMI, causes power to be applied from the battery 14 to the load 16. The load may vary according to application and for example may be a light bulb, a heater or the like.
In general terms the control unit 30, in response to a signal from the switch 18, causes operation of the power switch 34 and thereby connects the battery 14 to the load 16, or disconnects the battery from the load. The power switch 34 may or may not be part of a combined integrated circuit with the signal switch.
The switch 18 may vary in its construction and for example, may be a push button switch ie. of momentary actuation, or a slide switch ie. on or off (in two stable states). If the control circuit 12 is fabricated separately from the switch then, in advance, the nature of the switch with which the control circuit 12 is to be used may not be known.
Assume that the control switch 18 is a push button, ie. a push-to-make and release-to-break, switch. Referring to
The aforementioned type of operation, with both switch types, is highly desirable under certain conditions for example in the case of a flashlight which is hand held by a law enforcement officer. Typically two distinct functions are required. The first is to have the light switch on while scanning an area. In this case currently available products provide a push-to-make type of button and the light is on while the button is pushed and goes off immediately upon release. Clearly one hand is occupied full-time to have the light on.
Secondly, to switch the light on for an extended period of time, a twisting operation is required. The front or back end of the flashlight is, in some cases, turned to have a slide-switch action. This normally requires the use of two hands which may not be convenient.
The present example of the invention provides an elegant solution to this type of situation. A momentary press on the switch causes the flashlight to be turned on for an extended period. Thus single hand operation can be resorted to. The light shines until the button is again pushed or auto shut-off occurs. This can be very convenient for an officer holding a gun in one hand and wanting to switch his flashlight on for an extended period of time.
Permanent-on selection can easily be accommodated. In this case an override of the auto-shut off procedure is needed. This can be provided by stipulating that a on-off-on action within a short period, say within two seconds, is interpreted by the control unit 30 as a permanent-on mode selection. In other words three presses on a push button or three slides of a slide switch will be interpreted as being permanently on. The sequences are indicated in
The mode selected is indicated for example by means of a visual display device such as a light emitting diode 56. The LED may also be used as a find-in-the-dark facility. For example a single flash every two seconds on this indicator can indicate an on state with auto shut down in operation. Two flashes in quick succession with a delay of approximately two seconds before the next two flashes may indicate a permanent on mode. More flashes in quick succession with a delay before the next flashes may indicate other selected modes.
An important aspect of the invention is operation in a low voltage region. A flashlight or toy (ie. the load 16) operating from the battery 14, will encounter a situation in which the battery is depleted. Often the battery runs down gradually with its voltage level slowly dropping. Typically the voltage may be within the operational specification of the microchip or control circuit 12 and then it will slowly deplete and drift out of specification.
It is desirable, under certain conditions, to give the user as much use as possible from a set of batteries and also to try and match the performance of a mechanical switch which is not normally voltage dependent or responsive.
The microchip 12 is, in accordance with an aspect of the invention, supplied with a reset circuit 60 (see
In the present case a reset signal, produced by the circuit 60, is used to connect the signal from the switch 18, ie. from the MMI, directly to the power switch 34 when the circuit is in a reset state. In such a state the power switch conducts current when the MMI switch is closed.
The effect of this is that the auto shut off and other functions are disabled when the voltage of the battery 14 is below design specification. If a push-to-make switch is used to select the on state with a single short push, the power is turned off when the reset circuit turns on. In a flashlight example however the user is able to shine the light, although it is very dim, by keeping the push button depressed.
In the case of a slide switch the auto shut off and other functions are again disabled at the time the reset circuit turns on but, with the flashlight in an on state, the flashlight stays on as the battery 12 gets fully depleted. The flashlight will switch off once the slide switch is moved to a non-contact position. The find-in-the-dark and similar functions are disabled since the relevant portion of the microchip is not operational when the reset circuit 60 is turned on.
In other embodiments the power switch 34 may be latched on/off when a reset state is entered. Latching on may be important in cases when continuous operation to the lowest possible voltage is required eg. with a flashlight. An off selection may be important in a case where a voltage which is too low may damage the product eg. with an electric motor.
Assume that the control circuit 12 is responsive to the switch 18 and to a second switch 18A shown in dotted lines in
A user may get confused with the two switches. Assume for example that a dimming mode is selected and operated for a period of time. If the user wants to switch the flashlight off but inadvertently presses the mode switch 18A instead of the first switch 18 the flashlight again starts flashing. This may be bothersome and confusing for some users. Under these conditions the control unit 30 may detect operation of the mode selection switch 18A, when operated after a predetermined period of, say, 10 seconds, and change its function so that such operation results in an off function ie. the load 16 is disconnected from the battery 14.
In another embodiment of the invention the control circuit 12 includes a voltage regulator 36 This is used to provide a regulated voltage, derived from the battery 14, to the load 16. This may be highly desirable under certain conditions for it can be used to prevent an overshoot of the voltage, applied to the load, when the switch 34 is turned on and can enable much longer operation at an optimal voltage.
Assume for example that a flashlight operating from a 6V battery pack has an output from the current switch regulated to 4.5V. As the battery gets depleted from its initial 6V the light will have optimal and constant performance until the battery voltage drops to 4.5V. When the battery voltage drops below this level the current supply to the load will gradually diminish and will continue to diminish until the battery is totally exhausted. This feature helps in the design and choice of bulb for use in the flashlight and also helps to improve the life span of the bulb.
In a further embodiment the switch can provide for flashlight operation at a regulated voltage, for example a four cell flashlight (6V) may be regulated to work at 4V with a suitable bulb for the 4V output. If the user wants to have brighter light for a short period, the unregulated voltage can be applied to the bulb or, if the voltage has dropped, a step-up can be performed to yield a very bright light.
The invention is frequently described herein with reference to the operation of a light bulb. It is to be understood that this is only by way of example and that the invention can be used with any other load eg. a heater, motor or any other electrical device.
A switch 122 is used to turn the microchip on or off. This switch gives to the user overall control of the microchip so that the microchip can be enabled or disabled.
An optional second switch 124 is used as a mode selector switch. This enables a user to select different modes or functions of the microchip so that the load 120 is controlled, or caused to operate, in a different way.
The drawing illustrates a third switch 126 which is referred to as an activity detector switch. Although shown as a switch this could, in some situations, be a symbolic notation only for activity of the user could be detected in any appropriate way by making use of any suitable monitoring system.
The switch 126, which is used to detect activity, can be one of a number of switches which are used to control operation of the control unit 118. Alternatively the switch 126 can be operated in a particular way or sequence to provide different command signals to the control unit 118 so that the control unit can function according to requirement.
Assume for example that the load 120 is an animated toy or similar device which is powered by the power source 112 in a manner which is determined by the operation of the switch 126 and, where appropriate, by the switch 124. Each time the switch 126 is activated the timer 116 is reset. Thus the switch 114 will remain closed and the load 120 will be energised while there is activity at the switch 126. Once the activity ceases the timer 116 starts its timing period. If, during this period, there is no activity at the switch 126 then the timer 116 will complete its timing period and, at the end thereof, will cause the switch 114 to open circuit. In other words the delayed switch-off function will be implemented a predetermined period, which is determined by the timer interval, after the last activity is detected by the control unit 118.
Any appropriate means may be used for detecting activity relating to the microchip. As stated, the switch 126 may be operated in a variety of different ways in order to exert different control functions or, alternatively, the switch 126 may be one of a plurality of similar switches each of which exerts a respective control function. Depending on the protocol a switch which is opened or closed, can be detected as activity. Thus the timer could be reset by a high input signal, a low input signal or a transition signal in a chosen direction eg. low-to-high, or high-to-low, or any combination thereof.
A number of signal switches 216 are connected to the circuit and are used for controlling its operation. A number of light emitting diodes 218 are connected to the circuit 210 and are used for indicating certain aspects of the operation of the circuit and for providing an indication of the status of the battery 212, in the manner which is described hereinafter.
The switches 216 are used for actuating the control unit 220 through the medium of the input and output unit 224 Selected information generated by the control unit 220 is transferred to the light emitting diodes 218 through the medium of the input and output unit 224.
The voltage from the power source or battery 212 is measured and converted to a digital format by the analogue to digital converter 222. The converter also detects whether the current switch 232 is opened or closed when the battery voltage is measured and, in this way, is capable of providing a digital measurement of the open circuit voltage or the closed circuit voltage of the battery 212.
Once the input voltage has been digitally measured its value, referred to as VD herein, is transferred to the control unit 220.
Pre-programmed reference voltages are stored in the memory module 234. The number of reference voltages which are stored is determined by the number of categories in which the battery voltage can be classified. For example a three category indication of good, medium and bad requires at least two reference values VG and VM. The battery indications are as follows depending on the relative voltage levels:
By actuating a selected switch 216 the control unit 220 is caused to operate, substantially in the manner which is described in the specification of international application No. PCT/ZA99/00107, and the switch 232 is closed thereby to connect the battery 212 to the load 214. As indicated the battery voltage is measured and compared to the reference voltages stored in the memory module 234. An indication is then substantially immediately given of the status of the battery via the appropriate light emitting diode or diodes 218 which are activated in a predetermined manner.
The measurement of the closed circuit voltage of the battery can be stored in the memory module 234. When the battery is disconnected from the load the open circuit battery voltage can be measured automatically by the action of the control unit, at regular intervals, and compared to the closed circuit voltage stored in the memory module 234. If the open circuit voltage drops below the stored value of the closed circuit voltage the category (good, medium, bad) in which the battery is classified can be altered to reflect the change in the battery condition.
The timing unit 226 is used to control the intervals at which the battery voltage is measured and for controlling the frequency at which the light emitting diodes 218 are pulsed. It is to be noted that when the switch 232 is open at least one of the diodes 218 may be pulsed at a very low duty cycle, which is controlled by the timing unit 226, to provide a find-in-the-dark facility. The low duty cycle ensures that the power consumption of the flashing LED is kept to a low value.
The control unit is capable of modulating the power supply, under appropriate conditions, to ensure that the power which is supplied to the load 214 is kept substantially constant as the battery voltage drops due to power consumption. Assume for example, as is shown in
In the case of a light bulb it is important to note that the light bulb will give substantially constant illumination if its average power consumption is constant.
Apart from errors based on resolution it is only after the battery voltage drops below 3.6V that the light bulb illumination starts to degrade. The acceptable margin for error determines the accuracy required for measuring the voltage across the battery as well as the resolution with which the duty cycle can be constructed.
The functions of battery status and constant illumination require a voltage measurement of the closed circuit voltage of the battery ie. when the load is connected to the battery. From a cost and implementation perspective these functions are logically provided by the integrated circuit 210. On the other hand if the product with which the circuit is used, eg. a flashlight, has a find-in-the-dark feature, eg. an LED which flashes at a low duty cycle, then it stands to reason that the battery life indication can be provided by the find-in-the-dark (indicator to reduce the component count.
The effect of constant illumination can also be achieved by stepping up the input voltage to a higher voltage level. This can be implemented by using various DC-to-DC step-up converter techniques which are known in the art. The advantage of a step-up approach means that higher illumination levels are achievable than what would otherwise be the case when the battery voltage drops. This however would be at the cost of additional components. One can also make use of a step down converter to achieve substantially constant illumination.
The switching rate of the switch, ie. the modulation rate of the power supplied to the load, must be such as to avoid overheating during the on part of the cycle and to prevent flickering occurring which is visible to the human eye. On the other hand with every switching action some power losses occur. Thus lower modulation frequencies are more efficient and components are more feasible. For Xenon bulbs a 1 kHz switching rate appears to be a good compromise.
When the batteries are inserted into the flashlight (300) flags in the control unit are set (310). At this stage the circuit 210 does not have information about the battery status and the open circuit voltage of the battery must be measured. Optionally the flashlight is momentarily turned on to measure the closed circuit voltage. This enables the battery life indicator flag (BLI flag) to be set in accordance with the measured voltage.
A block 315 indicates that the load is switched off at this time.
If a find-in-the-dark (FID) function is implemented the integrated circuit 210 causes the corresponding LED (good, medium or bad) to flash even though the bulb 214 is not illuminated (325).
Upon user activation (320) the inputs 216 to the circuit 210 become active. Within normal state of the art practices like debouncing etc. the control unit 220 turns the current switch 232 on. In order to protect against overheating the calculation of the correct duty cycle for the applicable input battery voltage must be made faster than the lowest duty cycle, or the duty cycle must be set to its lowest (safest) level (330), so that the duty cycle calculations can be done. Thereafter the correct duty cycle, which determines the illumination of the bulb 214, can be selected (335).
Once the closed circuit voltage has been measured and converted the resulting digital value VD can be compared against reference values in order to categorize and indicate the status of the battery (340) (BLI=battery life indicator).
The control unit 220 performs the functions up to step 345 in a short time. A check is constantly required (step 345) to see if the user has released the appropriate input switch 216. If not the steps 335, 340 and 345 are repeated. The input switch 216 is monitored more actively than the voltage levels in order to conserve power. Once the release of the input switches has been detected (345) the control unit 220 proceeds to check the voltage levels to adjust for a possible drop in supply voltage (350) and to check the input switches 216 (355) for a terminate command. If a terminate command is received the control unit 220 turns the current switch 232 off (block 360).
Upon the subsequent release of the input switch 216 by the user the control unit 220 again checks the input switches (365) for an activation command and performs the find-in-the-dark (FID) function using the battery life indicator (BLI) category determined during the previous on state. The control unit 220 also monitors the battery voltage level to determine if the open circuit voltage has dropped lower than the previously measured closed circuit voltage. As has been stated this may require a change in the indicated category of the battery status.
In this example of the invention the inputs 404A and 406A are referred to as main and mode inputs respectively and are edge triggered inputs. In other words these inputs are designed to work with non-latching input devices 404 and 406. As such, a first momentary activation of the respective signal switch 404 or 406, as the case may be, causes the control circuit 400 to interpret the input as an "on" command and a second activation will be interpreted as an "off" command.
By way of contrast the input 408 is a state triggered input. Thus a high input level is interpreted as an "on" command while a low input level is interpreted as an "off" command.
It is to be borne in mind that the levels referred to are merely by way of example and that the "on" and "off" commands can result from input signals at levels which are opposite to or different from what has been described.
Assume for example that the signal switch 408 is connected via a signal wire to the input 408A. The signal switch 408 may for example be a controller, such as a door-operated switch, in a vehicle which controls illumination inside the vehicle. For example when a door of the vehicle is opened the load 412, which is a lamp in the vehicle, is energised by the battery 402. In this configuration the switch 404 is installed, for example, at the point of illumination ie. near to the load 412.
The aforementioned configuration eliminates the requirement for a current carrying lead or wire from the signal switch 408 to the load 412 ie. a wire which can carry the full load current drawn by the lamp 412. This reduces the weight and cost of the lighting installation.
It is important that a signal from the switch 404 to the input 404A can override an input from the signal switch 408 to the input 408A, but not vice versa. Thus with the light 412 on due to a high input provided by the signal switch 408 an activation of the switch 404 will turn the light off. However if the light is on due to a command which has previously been input from the switch 404 to the input 404A a high level resulting at the input 408A by activation of the signal switch 408 will not affect the light condition and neither will a subsequent low input at the input terminal 408A.
The control circuit 400 will turn the light 412 off after an on period of a defined duration, for example 30 minutes or an hour, depending on requirement, irrespective of which input caused the on condition.
The mode input 406A exhibits the same protocol or hierarchy as does the main input 404A with regards to the input 408A. Thus a signal input via the switch 406 will override a state previously determined by an input from the switch 408, but not vice versa. A signal applied to the mode input can be used to reduce the power to the light by causing the duty cycle to be reduced and this will result in the light dimming.

Credit report errors can cost you a better credit score. Nearly 80 percent of the credit reports in a 2004 study from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group contained inaccuracies. A quarter had mistakes that could trigger a denial of credit.
Don't let outdated, incomplete or erroneous information sink your credit score. A federal law -- the Fair Credit Reporting Act -- gives you the right to dispute information in your credit report. A dispute filed with a credit reporting agency triggers an investigation through the creditor. The creditor reports back to the credit reporting company, which then notifies you of the results within 30 to 45 days. The data will either be deleted, corrected or, if verified, remain on your credit report. If any changes are made, the creditor must send the update to any credit reporting agencies that originally received the incorrect data.
Federal law gives you the right to a free copy every 12 months from the three major credit bureaus. Head to AnnualCreditReport.com and order your free credit report. If you've used up your free annual copies, you can order a report directly from one of the credit bureaus for a fee.
Disputes filed using free annual credit reports can take up to 45 days to be resolved.
2. Review it for errors. The Bankrate feature "The ABCs of credit reports" explains the types of information to dispute. Negative information that is more than 7 years old (10 years for Chapter 7 bankruptcies) can be removed and should be disputed.
3. File a dispute. Initiate a dispute with the credit reporting agency that provided the report containing the error. There are three ways to dispute: online, in writing or on the phone.
Online disputes will be the fastest method, and the three major credit reporting agencies -- Equifax, Experian and TransUnion -- allow them. Your credit report will provide up-to-date contact information and instructions for telephone and written disputes. TransUnion and Equifax each have a mail-in dispute form you can print and fill out. The dispute form for Experian is on the last page of the consumer's Experian credit report.
In some cases, it can make sense to contact the creditor first if the company has reported something inaccurate about the account, such as a false late payment. A phone call might resolve some errors, but a paper trail provides proof of the dispute. To dispute in writing, send a certified letter to the creditor with return receipt requested.

Jason 'Mayhem' Miller arrested again for domestic violence, currently in jail on $50,000 bond
Jason "Mayhem" Miller was arrested again last night (Aug. 22, 2013) and is currently being held on a $50,000 bond. This is his second arrest this month.
Yesterday (Aug. 22, 2013), Jason Miller was arrested again. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight contender has had a rough month, as this is currently his second arrest in August. Earlier this month, Miller was arrested for Domestic Abuse charges, and held on $50,000 bond.
Domestic abuse is considered a felony in California and can carry up to a four-year prison sentence.
Miller has a history of arrests, with this just being the latest in recent years. He was arrested in 2012 for breaking and entering into a church, but those charges were later dropped by the pastor. And there was another arrest in 2011 for allegedly assaulting his sister at a party in North Carolina.
There are no details regarding yesterday's arrest, though we do know that Miller is again being held at the Intake Release Center on $50,000 bond.

Hi, In my team we are implementing a solution that involves make a relation many to many.
The problem is that the columns names of the middle table start with caps.
we make correction to ORM to solve this problem. I attach to you the files modify.
Hi Pablo,
I'm working on a quote patch right now.
I think that will fix a lot of quote issues.
Could you attach a test for this case please ?
Fabio, any stats on this one? Is it fixed through your change?
There is no answers from Pablo,
I think this is fixed by quote strategy, also
but without entities or tests is hard to know if are really fixed.
if we don't get any feedback from Pablo, I think both could be closed.

Wish they had more, but what they do have is very good.
4287 W. College Avenue, Grand Chute, WI 54914
My first experience at outback, I ordered a salad off the gluten free menu and it had croutons hidden on the bottom, like they made the salad and realized they made a mistake and removed them off the top.
3217 North MacArthur Drive, Alexandria, LA 71303
Outback is one of my favorite restaurants, but NOT today. This was my first and last time to eat in this one. I got the Alice Springs chicken, which is one of my favorites. It was dry and very bland and it was not hot. My husband, who is not gluten free ordered the steak tacos. They were COLD. He said the bread wad stale and cold. Will NOT go back to this one!
5723 Bishop Ave, Inver Grove Heights, MN 55076
Very knowledgeable server- he even knew or went to check ingredients to make sure my food had no dairy, either. There are a lot of options that are gluten free, and my food was served separate from the groups'. I did not get sick, and I plan to come back again.
4242 Palisades Center, W. Nyack, NY 10994
Outstanding. Staff is knowledgeable and the food is delicious. Ribeye steak was amazing.
505 Highland Oaks Dr., Winston-Salem, NC 27103
I enjoyed my dining experience! Our waitress was very knowledgable and helpful. The atmosphere was great, too. They accommodated my soy allergy, also.
1062 Charleston Town Center, Charleston, WV 25389
Long story short, very rude host to start bad experience with, then after being seated I was told they discontinued the gluten free menu a week ago and the waiter told me that he needed to know if we were staying or leaving so we would not be wasting his time. The whole experience was terrible. I went out of my way to go to this Outback because I thought they had the GF menu. And really, I could have got past that, it was the rudeness of both the host and the waiter. But, if you are looking for the GF menu, don't bother..I wouldn't want you to be wasting their employee's precious time.
15180 Addison Road, Addison, TX 75001
My wife has celiac disease. She and I ate here about a week ago and were very impressed, and she didn't get sick. We told the manager, who seated us at our table, about her allergy, and we were provided GF menus. He also said that he would notify the kitchen so that all of our food would be safe. Additionally, our server, Natalie, was very thorough in helping us make selections from the GF menu, and she assured us that their staff are trained to avoid cross contamination. Sure enough, my wife didn't get sick at all. We enjoyed the food, and the sense of comfort that comes from a restaurant chain that has a good track record on gluten issues. We'll be back here.
1761 N. Victory Place, Burbank, CA 91504
Limited options if you're also vegetarian.
7201 Indiana Street, Evansville, IN 47715
I love eating here!! I have celiac disease and I get really bad reactions when I get gluten. I've never had a bad reaction to anything I've eaten here. The staff is always very knowledgeable. When you ask about gluten free or about something on the menu they know what you are talking about and what precautions they have to take to ensure the food really is gluten free.
1289 Kildaire Farm Road, Cary, NC 27511
I just love outback. They do gf right. They communicate well and food is so fresh. I hope the get on the non GMO bandwagon.
1651 I-35 S., Round Rock, TX 78664
One of the first place to have a GF menu way before it was cool and I have never had a problem/reaction to it. They are very knowledgable and have a lot of options compared to other restaurant claiming they have GF menus
45170 Schoenherr Rd., Shelby Township, MI 48315
i ate here a few weeks ago and had no issues except for the herb rub on the prime rib has gluten. very silly and easy to change if they wanted too.
3270 Hwy. 17 S., Murrells Inlet, SC 29576
Great food as always! No issues although our server was sassy and was yelling across the tables. Very strange!! But did not affect the food. 😃
345 Washington Ave., North Haven, CT 06473
Typical outback. I did not get sick.
7401 West Barnard Avenue, Greenfield, WI 53220
gotta love the prime rib
1260 S. Moorland Rd., Brookfield, WI 53005
Great prime rib with two sides of vegetables. Never had any problems.
98 Elm Street, Enfield, CT 06082
This place is the best for knowing all about gluten! Just ask and they will bring you out a full gluten free menu. Mostly everything in the restaurant is gluten free, but you need to tell them you have celiac so they can clean off a part of the grill. This place is amazing and knows a lot about how dangerous it is to come in contact with gluten
1235 E. Kimberly Road, Davenport, IA 52807
Great dinner options!... but the best part is the gf thunder down under brownie! So delicious!
295 Pepper's Ferry Rd. NE, Christiansburg, VA 24073
Many options, attentive to our concerns, & needs.
3101 Browns Mill Road, Johnson City, TN 37601
Good example of the chain restaurant, nice servers, standard Outback GF menu.
2770 Hooper Ave., Brick, NJ 08723
Ask for Stephanie she will make sure your meal is gf free. My wife is gluten and dairy free and Stephanie asked the chef just to be sure. We will definitely go back they have a lot of good options
