Good luck on the interview. No idea what questions they will ask but here's a couple common interview questions:
What are your strengths?
What are your weakness's?
And various situational questions. (Have you ever - and how did you handle it)
One very rare question - just to see how you react and respond to something that catch's you off guard is: Why are manhole covers round? Not really any wrong answers (correct answer is - so they can't fall through the hole) - but mostly looking at your respond to something unexpected.
For God, Family and Country!
Good luck. Nice to hear people getting callbacks and jobs.
Fingers crossed for you brother.

Good luck on your interview. Jobs are a little hard to find nowadays, especially in states like Michigan.
Its a shame that youth is wasted on the young.
Besides a pen and paper, take a copy of your resume.
If they ask specific questions, you can refer to your resume.
Sometimes, when a person is nervous, they tend to forget things. A copy of the resume will help.
Prior to the interview, jot down some questions that you will want to ask, i.e. starting pay, hours, possibility of promotion, etc.
Always be confident during an interview. Answer the questions with confidence. But, don't run off at the mouth.
An interview is your opportunity to make yourself shine.
Good luck on the interview. Let us know how it turns out.
Good luck. Hope you ace the interview.
Question Everything!
Good luck. I hope it is doing something you want to do. And of course that they will hire you.
For Heavens sake...put some polish on those shoes!!!
I'm praying for you, man.
Congratulations. I worked for Brinks when I first seperated from Active Duty. You'll have fun. Also good luck during the interview process, it can be lengthy depending on the position applied for. Driving test, DOT physical, polygraph, etc. Again congrats and good luck.

Bacon for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner — and Dessertby Maria Russo in Recipes, March 15th, 2014
It's no secret that bacon is a perennial family-friendly favorite, and on this morning's all-new episode of The Kitchen, the co-hosts offered their top secrets for preparing it just right every time. Both Jeff and Geoffrey shared wedge salads — Wedgelet Kabobbies and a Grilled Cobb Wedge, respectively — that showcased this crispy indulgence, proving that a strip of bacon isn't limited to breakfast plates alone (although it's indeed a welcome addition there too).
In an effort to celebrate all things bacon, FN Dish rounded up a day's worth of meals featuring that ingredient: a dish for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Read on below to find all four recipes, then tell us in the comments your favorite way to enjoy bacon.
Who says bacon can't be part of a balanced diet? In Food Network Magazine's easy-to-make Whole-Grain Pancakes with Eggs and Bacon (pictured above), it's added atop a surprisingly healthy stack of flapjacks and fluffy scrambled eggs.

Why the Homebuilding Rebound Has LegsBy
Homebuilding is gaining speed because there are shortages of housing in places like the Midwest and Plains states that have stronger job growth and relatively little excess housing stock. The U.S. Census Bureau on Oct. 17 reported a 15 percent jump in the seasonally adjusted annual rate of starts on construction of privately owned housing (PDF) for September, compared with the August rate. Bloomberg reports that the September rate was the highest in four years.
"You need to build homes where people have jobs. So you're seeing growth in [places like] Texas. Not so much in depressed places like Michigan, Florida," says Patrick Newport, U.S. economist at forecaster IHS Global Insight.
David Crowe, the chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, says construction is strong in a band that stretches from Texas north to the Dakotas because agriculture and energy have supported job growth, while there is no big overhang of vacant housing from the construction boom of the 2000s. "We've been trying to make that point for a long time now," says Crowe. "Individual markets are improving. There are more of them doing that, enough so that it's finally showing up in the national numbers."
Pessimists on housing long predicted that homebuilding would not resume as long as there was a big overhang of houses left vacant by foreclosure, but that is proving incorrect. Newport says that the indicator of vacancy that he trusts most is the quarterly calculation of the Census Bureau. It peaked in 2008, when 2.9 percent of American housing units were vacant. By the second quarter of this year it was down to 2.1 percent. That's still above the long-run average of 1.7 percent.
But vacancies aren't spread uniformly across the country. They're heavily concentrated in what Crowe calls the "sand states": California, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona. According to the Census Bureau, over the past year housing starts rose 47 percent in the Midwest, 37 percent in the South, 27 percent in the Northeast, and 25 percent in the West.
The September pop in housing starts was so big that Newport says there's a chance that the rate will drop back a bit in coming months. But he says, "We're pretty sure it's a durable recovery as long as the economy doesn't fall into recession."

Blue Ribbon Winner: Harvey enters top pie for 2014
Bernadette Harvey, of Indiana, won the Blue Ribbon Apple Pie Contest with her Apple Pie with Pears and Dried Cherries.
She also included the recipe for pie crust in her winning entry.
Here's how to prepare her winning recipe:
6 cups peeled and sliced (1/4 inch) tart apples
1 cup peeled and sliced (1/4 inch) firm pears
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (cut into ?-inch pieces)
1/4 cup apple juice
Coarse sugar, as desired
Preheat oven and baking sheet to 400 degrees.
Combine cherries and apple juice and set aside to soften.
To making filling, combine apples, pears, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cornstarch in a Dutch oven, and sprinkle with lemon juice.
Set on medium heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until apples are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the bottom pie crust (see recipe below).
Fit crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
Place half the apple/pear filling in the pie shell. Sprinkle with half the plumped cherries.
Add remaining filling and sprinkle with remaining cherries.
Scatter butter sliced on top of the apple mixture.
Roll out top pie crust and cover with apple/pear filling. Pinch edges together and cut out openings on the top crust for steam and decorate as desired.
Brush top crust with water and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes on lowest oven rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and move pie to middle oven rack. Bake for 45 minutes.
Crust may be covered with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning. Pie is done when juices are thick and bubbly and crust is golden brown.
Cool on wire rack.
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup cold butter (2 sticks)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 tablespoons ice cold apple juice
In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar and salt, about 5 pulses.
Dice butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture in processor.
Pulse about 10 times, until it resembles coarse meal. Add apple juice and pulse 3-4 times.
Gently gather dough and work into two disks and wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1-24 hours. Roll out as desired.

September has got off to a flying start as
far as next-generation networks (NGN) work in ITU is concerned. The important
milestone of the Release 1 set of standards is on track for November and
sufficient momentum has been achieved to ensure that the next stages of NGN
work will be carried out with similar efficiency.
The continuation of the NGN study by ITU
will be re-branded the NGN-Global Standards Initiative (NGN-GSI).
Houlin Zhao, Director of TSB, ITU-T's
secretariat said: "I am very pleased with the progress and the results achieved
by the Focus Group on next-generation networks (FGNGN). These first
results will provide the building blocks on which the world's systems vendors
and service providers can start to make this monumental shift to NGN. We have
the momentum, the tools and the will to continue this significant and important
Agreement on a future plan is clear and
the Focus Group on next-generation networks (FGNGN) has been putting the finishing touches to Release 1
before formally submitting it into the Study Group system.
The FGNGN met in Geneva 24 August – 2 September alongside
meetings of Study Groups 11, 13 and 19, themselves all having elements of NGN work. Each FGNGN meeting has
seen increased participation and contributions according to management.
The group chaired by Chae-Sub Lee of Korea
is expecting to see completion of its Release 1 set of standards, at its
November 2005 meeting in London,
UK. A one day briefing
session following that meeting will serve as an overview of the work, as well
as an opportunity to promote future direction and business drivers.
The first draft of an allocation table for
the distribution of work following the November meeting was also agreed. This
type of activity as well as the development of a prototype project management
tool, is seen as important in order to keep NGN work, that cuts across the
study groups, aligned, coherent and consistent.
According to FGNGN chairman Lee, an
important focus of the work at this Geneva
meeting are the quality of service (QoS) aspects that will allow – for example
– services like IPTV to be offered with the same broadcast quality as
traditional TV. The Focus Group expects that there will be more than ten
deliverables on QoS that will be submitted into the Study Group system for
approval as ITU-T products such as Recommendations. Additionally the topic of
fixed-mobile convergence saw much discussion in the meeting according to Lee.

A Data Bank of African-American Heritage
On Oct. 2, 1867, Charles Miller Coleman, 56, a former slave, opened an account at the Huntsville (Ala.) branch of Freedman's Bank Savings & Trust Co. On his application, Coleman, a planter whose residence was "just over fence" from the Baptist Church, listed the names of his wife, Susan, his six children, six brothers (one dead), and two sisters. All Coleman's siblings were living in Virginia, "but Aleck who was sold away first," according to the application.
The Coleman listing, along with the names of 480,000 other African-American soldiers and former slaves connected with Freedman's Bank, is perhaps the richest trove of information ever for blacks seeking to learn more about their heritage. The information is already available to genealogical researchers on a searchable CD, through the Family & Church History Dept. of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and should be posted before the end of the year on the church's lineage database, www.FamilySearch.org. Church genealogical officials, who have worked on the Freedman's Bank names for 11 years, say the records make up the largest single database of lineage-linked African Americans in the world and estimate that up to 10 million descendents of Freedman's Bank depositors are living today.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Freedman's Bank was chartered in 1865, the year the Civil War ended, to help freed slaves and black soldiers manage their money. Some 70,000 opened accounts. On their applications, generally filled out by bank personnel since slaves were forbidden to read or write, the depositors listed not only their names, ages, occupations, and addresses but also their place of birth and military units. Some identified the plantations on which they were raised and even gave the names of their former owners. Charles Coleman's application noted he hadn't seen his parents in 35 years.
Over a 12-year period, some $57 million was deposited in the bank's 37 branches in 17 states and the District of Columbia. The government was concerned that without a safe repository for their money, African Americans would be cheated and robbed of their earnings. Instead, depositors lost their money when Freedman's Bank collapsed in 1874, due to fraud and mismanagement.
Freedman's Bank records, which were microfilmed years ago, have been available to researchers through the National Archives but were of little value since they weren't organized and indexed. Then in 1989, Marie Taylor, an employee of the LDS church's history department, discovered the microfilms and set up a program to add them to the church's genealogical database in Salt Lake City, the world's largest repository of genealogical information.
Genealogy is important to Mormons, who believe families don't end after death. But they also believe sacraments that bind families together, such as baptism, must be done on earth. So Mormons search for ancestors who never went through the ceremonies and then stand in as proxies in temple rituals. While African Americans have been members of the church since the 1830s, black men weren't admitted to the priesthood until 1978. The church's genealogical records, which are open to everyone, include some 2 billion names, with about 50 million added each year. About a third are available on the Web site, which averages 9 million hits a day.
To organize the Freedman's Bank records, the church enlisted the help of some 550 inmate volunteers at Utah State Prison, who began by extracting names from the records and recording them on index cards. The names were computerized, then cross-referenced by family members -- necessary because at the time the accounts were opened, many of the former slaves hadn't yet taken surnames. The inmate-researchers supplemented the Freedman's Bank data with information from the 1870 U.S. federal census, provided by the church.
The Freedman's Bank Records CD is available on the Internet at the FamilySearch site or by calling the church distribution center at 800 537-5971 and asking for item #50120. The cost is $6.50.

Most locking systems currently in use in hotels, motels, and similar applications have pin-tumbler locks fitted with corresponding keys, and, one or more levels of mastering are used. As a practical matter, it is impossible to prevent guests from taking or duplicating individual room keys. Compromising of master keys is also relatively common, since the background of hotel employees cannot always be thoroughly investigated.
Other systems which have been proposed, or used, replace the key with a card using optical, magnetic or other means of encoding. Such systems suffer from complete failure when power is lost, thus preventing a guest from entering his own room under such circumstances.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,763,676 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,842,629, a system is proposed which overcomes this difficulty, but the construction requires power and signal wiring to each individual door. In the case of existing buildings, building codes requiring complicated installation of power lines make installation of such systems economically unsound. Further, with a failure of power, such systems are also inoperative.
Briefly stated, the present disclosure contemplates a system consisting of a lock assembly for each room, a monitor unit for each room, a central control unit normally located at the hotel desk, a key validating device operable by the desk clerk, and a plurality of room keys which may be coded by various means, and which include a self-contained power source, normally in the form of a flat laminar type DC battery.
The system contemplates that at time of check-in, the room clerk selects a key which contains a unique combination already encoded in printed circuit form. He inserts the key into the key validating unit, and at the same time enters the room number or numbers for which the key is to be validated. This results in the sending of a signal to the central control unit which stores this information. When the guest arrives at his room, he inserts the key into a slotted opening adjacent the door, thus completing circuits enabling power from the battery on the key to be applied to the lock mechanism, enabling the lock to "read" the code. The code is used to modulate a microwave carrier which is transmitted from the monitor unit to the lock mechanism at the door of the room. When the code on the key corresponds to that which has been received by the lock mechanism, the lock mechanism permits the door to open. Memory circuits capable of retaining a code over an extended period of time in the absence of power are provided at the lock mechanism, so that should the central control unit fail, a guest can still enter his room using a self-powered key.
Provision is made for cancellation of the validation of individual keys used by a guest at checkout time, without effecting the validation of pass keys or emergency keys validated for the same room.
In the drawings, to which reference will be made in the specification, similar reference characters have been employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

Before entering into a detailed consideration of the structural aspects of the embodiment, a brief outline of the functional aspects of the same is considered apposite.
The system contemplates a key validator element which is normally positioned at the reception desk of a hotel, and which is connected by a low voltage two wire system to a plurality of radio frequency oscillator units which are positioned at a suitable location, one in each guest room near an already present source of 110-117 volt alternating current. The oscillators continuously transmit pulse code information which is received by a corresponding detector, amplified and fed to lock circuitry which has been conditioned to respond only to signals intended for a particular room. The validator element continues to send information, on substantially a 24 hour a day basis, while the lock circuitry for individual rooms, not being connected to a power source, remain essentially dormant until called upon to check an inserted key which carries its own power source in the form of a laminar type dry cell.
The key validator accepts inserted keys, each having an individual code, and stores the codes in memory in association with assigned room numbers. Certain portions of the memories are addressed for guest keys, other portions for pass keys, and still others for emergency keys. As used in this specification, a pass key will normally be one assigned to hotel personnel, to enable them to enter a room for housekeeping services. An emergency key is one which cannot be shut out by a guest by pressing a night latch, and such keys are normally in custody only of a hotel manager.
The key validator element operates in two time frames, a first frame (F1) being employed during the introduction of data from a newly checked in key, and a second frame (F2) for the continuous transmission of memorized data to the room units for transmission to circuits associated with the lock mechanism. It will be apparent, that the key validator will be in the second frame for most of its operative duty cycle.
The circuitry associated with the lock of an individual room includes memory circuits which receive transmitted data destined for the individual room. The memory is of non-volatile type, so that it may retain data for extended periods in the absence of power, and is capable of functioning with data already stored should the key validator element become, for any reason, inoperative. This feature permits a guest who has been checked in to open his room until such time as his key has been checked out irrespective of desk operations. The lock unit is provided with a code card unique to each room which enables it to react only to that information pertaining to an individual room. It remains totally inoperative until a key having an individual code and a self-contained power source is inserted, at which time the lock circuits become powered, and receive signals through individual duty cycles which include the reception of signals from the room unit, whereby the circuits are placed in communication with the key validator. The lock circuits first examine new data to determine whether such data is already in memory storage, enter any new data not previously stored, and finally compare such data with the code on the newly inserted key to determine whether the key is valid. If valid, the lock is operated permitting the keyholder to enter. If not, the cycle of operation stops until the key is withdrawn and another key inserted.
When the guest checks out, his key is cancelled by the key validator, and this information is transmitted to the room unit to be available for the next duty cycle of the lock circuitry. Should the guest leave without surrendering his key, it is still possible to cancel the key code carried by such key by merely inserting zeros in the memory slot which previously stored the code. Should the key then fall into unauthorized hands, it can no longer be used to gain entry into the room to which it had been previously assigned.
With the foregoing in view, reference may be made to FIG. 1 of the drawing, which illustrates, schematically, a typical installation. The system, generally designated by reference character 10, comprises broadly a plurality of self-powered keys 11 (FIGS. 2 and 3), a key validator element 12 adapted to selectively receive the keys 11, a plurality of invidual room units 13, and a plurality of individual lock elements 14 with associated circuitry.
The individual keys 11 are most conveniently formed of planar synthetic resinous material, and may resemble, to some degree, a conventional credit card. Each key includes a planar base 20 having first and second surfaces 21 and 22, the former being suitable for the imprinting of any desired indicia. The surface 22 mounts a laminar type battery 23 having an output of approximately 5 volts, and maximum power output of approximately 5 watts. A printed circuit 24 determines a key code, and includes a positive terminal conductor 25, a negative terminal conductor 26, and a plurality of code-forming conductors 27, each having edge connectors 28. In the illustrated embodiment, the key element forms an eight bit code having the digital expression 10011001. If desired, or required, a greater number of bits may be used to determine the code.
The key validator element 12, as has been mentioned, is adapted to be positioned on the counter of a hotel desk (not shown) and is enclosed in a casing 30. A keyboard 31 includes a plurality of digit buttons 32, a check in button 33, a check out button 34, a button 35 for indicating the presence of a "pass key," a similar button 36 indicating the presence of an "emergency key," a clear button 37 and an enter button 38. The validator element 12 is interconnected by first and second conductors 39 and 40 to each of the room units 13, and all information in memory storage in the validator element is transmitted over these conductors for selective reception by the lock unit circuitry.
The room units 13 include individual housings 45 to permit mounting on a wall 46 of a room, preferably immediately adjacent an already existing one hundred ten volt AC outlet. A transmitting waveguide antenna 48 is mounted on the housing 45 in aligned relation with a receptor waveguide antenna 49 forming a part of the lock unit 14 (see FIG. 18). The room unit circuitry is relatively simple, including a data line 50 (FIG. 17) from the validator element which feeds a transistor 51 powered from a power supply 52, and in series with the primary winding of a pulse transformer 54, the secondary winding feeding an impatt diode oscillator 55. Where it is feasible to directly interconnect the output of the validator element to the lock unit, this structure can be eliminated. However, where installation is made in already existing buildings, compliance with local wiring codes causes such installation to be quite costly. In some cases, the two wire transmission from the validator element can be made using existing telephone lines already in the building, thereby still further simplifying installation.
The receptor antenna 49 feeds a detector 58 which will be activated upon the insertion of a key into the lock unit, the output of which is amplified at two stages as indicated by reference characters 59 and 60 and fed to a clock 61, the operation of which will be discussed more fully at a point later in the disclosure.
The circuitry of the key validator element 12 is illustrated in the drawings in FIGS. 4 to 10, inclusive. FIG. 4 is a phase diagram, and the remaining figures schematic diagrams. The phase diagram is useful for following the flow of activity in the system. For purposes of this disclosure, the expression "phase" is intended to designate a particular state of various flip-flops. The expression "frame 1" (F1) is intended to designate a time span during which data is being inserted. The expression "frame 2" (F2) is intended to indicate a time span when data is being cycled.
To begin operations (phase 0), the clear button 37 on the key validator keyboard is pressed. This resets the phase timing flip-flops 67, 68 and 69 (FIG. 5), the load flip-flop 70, and clears the FIFO (first in, first out) memory 71-72 (FIG. 10). The presence of phase 0 is determined by a "1 in 8 decoder" 73. The "0" output of this decoder is low when all three flip-flops 67, 68 and 69 are low due to the presence of the clear signal. The system is now ready for the insertion of new data from the key validator.
Progressing to phase 1, the next step is to load 0's into the memory 71-72 to provide a point of reference. The presence of a low input at the NOR gate 76 causes the output of the same to go high and the flip-flop 67 to go high at the next clock pulse. This is decoded by decoder 73 as "phase 1 NOT" and then inverted to phase 1 by invertor 77. During phase 1, the enable input of the multiplexers 78, 79, 80 and 81 (FIG. 10) is held high. The outputs of these units are then all zeros. These zeros are "written" into the FIFO memory 71-72 when the PL input goes high as a result of both a clock input and the output of NOR gate 82 going high due to phase "1 NOT" going low. Gate 82 feeds NAND gate 83.
The output, phase 1, causes the system to go to phase 3 on the next clock pulse by setting flip-flop 68. During phase 3, the memory is loaded with the information in the keyboard and the key code reader 63 (FIG. 10), discussed hereinafter. This information consists of four facts mainly: 1. Is a key being checked in or checked out? 2. Is the key being validated a guest, pass or emergency key? 3. The room number? 4. The keycode?
In the disclosed embodiment, only a one digit room code and an eight bit key code are used for simplicity in explanation. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that by extension of the disclosed structure, any number of room digits may be used, as well as any number of key code bits.
Multiplexers 78-81, inclusive, provide the information to be loaded into the memory 71-72. They provide the I0 inputs, (the keyboard) when their S-terminals are low. The S-terminal input, Lff, is low at this time as a result of having been reset at phase 0. Loading of the FIFO memory occurs as in phase 1, but at this instant, the input to NOR gate 82, phase 3, is low instead of high as in phase 1. This does not substantially alter operation, as gate 82 is a NOR gate.
Two additional functions take place during phase 3. First the counter 89-90 (FIG. 9) is reset. In addition, the output register 91-92 is loaded. Up to this point, the phase state has changed once with each clock pulse. However, in order to proceed from phase 3, other conditions must be satisfied as well. The next state is determined by which logic expression is satisfied.
If the system is being started with no previous memory inputs, the logic expression IR.F1 E will be satisfied first, and the next state will be phase 2. This expression is satisfied because:
1. IR, indicating that the input to the FIFO is ready, is high because the FIFO is not filled.
2. F1 is the time of the frame gap which occurs when the set of all 0's, loaded in phase 1, is at the output. Since this is the only input thus far, this condition obtains.
3. E is the condition where the enter key on the key validator is pressed. This sets flip-flop 96 (FIG. 7) to the E state and provides the E input.
4. These conditions are applied to the NAND gate 97, which will change the state from phase 3 to phase 2 when they are all "true" or high. At this time both the other logic expressions indicated, namely: 1. IR.F.E; and F+E. The former, because the condition "input not ready" is not true, and the latter because new data is being entered. During phase 2, the load flip-flop 70 (FIG. 8) is reset which then causes the multiplexers 78-81, inclusive, to present the output of the FIFO, I1 as their output.
When phase 2 is applied to NOR gate 76 (FIG. 5), the system returns to phase 3. The only logic expression satisfied is still IR.F.E, so there is a return to phase 2. However, this time, the multiplexers 78-81 are set so that the output of the FIFO is returned to the input. The system then goes back to phase 3. This cycling between phase 3 and phase 2 continues until the FIFO memory is full, at which time the "IR NOT" signal becomes high and IR is low.
The equation IR.FE is now true, so that the system goes to phase 4 as a result of the action of gate 98 (FIG. 5(a)). In this phase, the NOR gate 87 (FIG. 10) is activated which causes the FIFO to dump its output at the next clock pulse. This leaves one empty slot in the FIFO.
The system advances to phase 5, through the action of gate 76 (FIG. 5a). During this phase, another FIFO output is dumped, as in phase 4, leaving two empty slots in the FIFO. The load flip-flop 70 (FIG. 8) and enter flip-flop 96 (FIG. 7) and also reset during this phase.
From phase 5, the system returns to phase 1, due to the action of gate 100. During this phase, 0's are loaded into one of the open FIFO slots.
From phase 1, the system returns to phase 3 through the action of gate 101. The remaining empty slot in the FIFO is loaded with the FIFO output, the counter 102, 103 (FIG. 4) is reset and the output register 104-105 (FIG. 10) is loaded. The enter flip-flop 96 has been reset in phase 5, so that the only exit from phase 3 is to phase 7 through the equation F+E.
The system enters phase 7 through the action of NOR gate 106 (FIG. 5(a)). During phase 7, the counter is started, and data is shifted out of registers 104-105 until the count of 16 is reached. This completes one word of data.
The system enters phase 6 through the action of NAND gate 107 (FIG. 5(a)). During this phase, the FIFO is advanced leaving one empty slot and the load flip-flop 70 is reset. The system returns to phase 3 with a delay of either 48 or 255 counts, depending on whether or not a frame signal is present. These delays provide a small gap between data words stored in the memory, and a large frame gap when all stored words have been presented.
The cycle of phase 3 to phase 7 to phase 6 to phase 3, as a loop, is continued indefinitely until new data is entered, so long as the key validator remains in operation. This cycle provides the output data from the shift registers by recycling the data in the FIFO memory.
Upon the entry of new data (F1) to the key validator, the enter flip-flop 96 is activated. However, nothing will occur until the system returns to phase 3 during a frame period. The loop cycle between phase 3, phase 7, phase 6, phase 3 then stops, since the expression F+E is no longer satisfied. When the loop stops at phase 3, the FIFO is loaded with the last output, thus filling the memory and making the expression IR.E.F. valid. The action of gate 101 changes the state to phase 4. The FIFO is advanced so that one slot becomes empty, the frame slot which contained all zeros.
The action of flip-flop 76 changes the state to phase 5. The FIFO is again advanced to result in emptying the slot containing the oldest data. The load and enter flip-flops are also reset. The action of gate 100 (5(a)) changes the state to phase 1. In this state the zeros are reloaded to provide a frame position.
The action of gate 101 returns the system to phase 3. The new data is now loaded since Lff is low. The system now returns to the data output cycle phase 3, phase 7, phase 6, phase 3, as before.
As seen in FIG. 6, power is provided to the key validator by a conventional power supply 110 having plus 5 and minus 12 outputs 141 and 142, respectively, from one hundred ten volts alternating current. The logic elements used are preferably of the TTL compatible type of the 7400 series widely used in the art. The clock signal is preferably generated by a type 9601 retriggerable multivibrator 142(a) (FIG. 5b). The clock timing is not critical, but the time constant (R1 C1) is preferably set for a 240KHz output.
Data from the key validator is in the form of a set of pulses at a level of five volts. As mentioned hereinabove, it can be distributed throughout the building by a single set of low voltage wires to each room. Since all of the data for the hotel is contained on one pair of wires, the pair can be run from room to room, and a distribution tree as would be required for telephones, for example, is not necessary.
Although the room unit 13 is disclosed as accepting data from the key validator line and converting it into a signal which is transmitted as a microwave link, it can also be accomplished by radio frequency energy transmission, lightwave transmission, infrared waves and the like. The microwave signal is preferably at 12 GHz. An oscillator of this type is currently available from Hewlett-Packard Corporation of Palo Alto, California. A type 5082-0611 diode is used to provide 2.5 watts of output. A suitable waveguide detector is also offered by Hewlett-Packard Corporation as type X424A.
A consideration of the lock units 14 and associated circuitry will be facilitated by the use of a phase diagram (FIG. 12). In contrast to the phase operation of the key validator, employing eight states, the lock electronics employ ten states.
Referring to FIG. 12, operation commences in phase 0. This phase is initiated when a key, with its self-contained source of power is inserted into the lock adjacent the door. This insertion simultaneously powers the lock circuits.
With the application of power, the plus five volts is applied, after reduction, to the base of transistor 114 (FIG. 14). This causes the transistor to conduct heavily, which lowers its collector voltage. This, in turn, causes the collector voltages of transistors 115 and 116 to go high. This triggers the monostable multivibrator 117, which provides a pulse of 0.034 seconds as an output. This pulse, as inverted by inverter 118 forms the Power On Reset (POR). It resets the phase flip-flops 119, 120, 121, 122 (FIG. 13); the frame 1 flip-flop 123 (FIG. 12a), and the write output 124 (FIG. 8).
At the conclusion of the POR period, gate 125 (FIG. 13) causes a change to phase 9 by activating the J inputs of flip-flops 119-122. During phase 9, the F1 flip-flop 123 is set, indicating that this is the first frame of data received. The system remains in phase 9 until the retriggerable multivibrator 126 (FIG. 12(a)) turns "off." It is kept "on" by the presence of data on the Data Input Line. When no data is present for more than sixty four counts plus a guard band of sixty four counts, then a frame is being transmitted and multivibration 126 is turned off. The timing is determined by resistance-capacitance R2 C2, which is set to provide a 500 microsecond pulse, the product of 128 counts at a 250KHz rate.
The system then goes to phase 1 by the action of gate 130 (FIG. 13). While in phase 1, the following occurs:
1. The presence of gap is detected by the retriggerable multivibrator 126, which behaves similarly to gate 96, but with a much shorter time constant. The detected gap occurs between two data words, which is at most sixty four counts from the counter 133-134.
2. The write flip-flop 112 a and frame One flip-flop 113 are reset if not already in that state.
In order to leave phase 1, one of two conditions must be satisfied:
1. G, that is to say, data is flowing;
2. F1, that is, not the first frame (F1).
At this point, the second condition cannot be satisfied, since we are now considering the first frame. The system therefore stays in phase 1, until data starts coming in, at which time it goes to phase 3.
The system is caused to go into phase 3 by the operation of gate 140. While in phase 3, the following occurs:
1. The derived clock (FIG. 12a) 141 is started. This clock is identical to that in the validator, but unlike the clock in the validator, it can be started and stopped. The clock is started by the G signal. It then continues to send clock pulses until stopped by the negative output from inverter 142. 142 goes negative when the counter 133-134 reaches a count of sixteen, the number of data bits in a data word. The sixteen bits of this derived clock are used to operate the shift register 145-146, which accepts serial data from the data line during this period. These sixteen bits are available as parallel outputs. The first output 147 from transistor Q1, the frame bit, is not used further. The output 148 from transistor Q2 is the "check in" bit. If low, "check out" is indicated, and this signal is available from the inverter 149. Similarly, the indication of whether a passkey (P), guest key (P), or emergency key (E) is being transmitted, is available. The room number is available from outputs 150 to 153 in binary coded decimal. The transmitted room number is compared to the particular room number associated with an individual lock. This is determined by means of a plug-in card 153. In this case, for illustration, room number 6 has been used. If the data is not intended for room number 6, then the output of comparator 154 will be low which would indicate data that is not valid. Data containing the key code is also made available to multiplexers 155 and 156 (FIG. 12(b)) for comparison purposes.
2. The address counter 158 is reset to zero by means of the clear output. The address counter is used in conjunction with memory 159, a non-volatile, magnetic core memory which retains its information even when power is removed.
The next phase may be either of two possibilities. If the data is not valid, that is, it does not refer to room number 6, the next step is to return to phase 1, to wait new data. If the data is valid (refers to room number 6), then the system goes to phase 7 at the next gap.
The three types of keys "guest, pass and emergency" have been assigned slots in the memory 159 (see FIG. 18). For the purpose of this disclosure, eight slots have been assigned, although it is clear that any number may be assigned up to the capacity of the memory. For guest keys, four slots have been assigned, those consisting of the binary numbers corresponding to 0, 1, 2 and 3. Two slots have been assigned to pass keys, those consisting of the binary numbers corresponding to 4, and 5. Two slots also have been assigned to emergency keys, those consisting of the binary numbers corresponding to 6 and 7.
The initial address, that is the lowest numbered address is set up by the A, B and C inputs to address counter 158. For example, the initial address for the pass key is A1 =1, due to the action of the NOR gate 161 which has a high output when P not is low, A2 =0, and A3 =0, since the inputs to B and C are low. F1 is, of course, high during this period. The next states is determined by whether a "check in" or "check out" has been activated.
The "check in" system next goes to phase 6 as a result of the action of AND gate 166 (FIG. 13). The first step in this phase is to compare the key code given in the data to determine whether or not it is already in memory. The lowest address for this type of key has already been set in phase 7. The read line 167 is activated and the memory output is compared with the data input in comparators 168 and 169. (It should be noted that the multiplexers 155 and 156 are set to the Ia or data lines because the S input, F1 is low.) There are four possible results of the comparison, namely: 1. The data matches a memory word; 2. There is an empty slot; 3. There is no match; and 4. There are no more slots to compare in the memory.
In the first case there is a high output from "A" (indicating a code match). Since this is a check in, the first part of the expression CI(A+CE�ME) is satisfied and the system returns to phase 1 because this data word has already been processed.
In the second case, this data is not known to be in memory because the data is inserted in order, and the first empty slot indicates that no further comparisons need be made, the rest of the memory being empty. The memory empty indicator is the output of inverter 170. Each time a word is inserted in memory, a bit is inserted in I8 of memory 159. If there is no bit at 08, there is no word in memory. The next step then is to introduce this new data into memory. Since the expression CI�ME. (Check in, memory empty) is now fulfilled, the system will go to phase 4 through the action of AND gate 171. In phase 4, the load flip-flop 70 is set. This causes W line to be high. The system then goes to phase 5 through the action of gate 112 (FIG. 13). The data word is now written into memory 159 by the activations of the write mode. The address has not changed because the clock pulses to address counter 158 stopped when phase 6 went low. Therefore this word is written into the first empty slot in the memory. Since at this point the system is still in the check in mode, it next goes back to phase 1 as a result of the action of gate 140.
Returning to phase 6 and the third possibility, i.e. that there is no match, the address then changes at the next clock pulse and a new comparison is made. Finally, the fourth possibility arises, that there have been no matches and all the available slots in the memory for this type of key are filled. The system then disregards the data and returns to phase 1 because of the actions of gates 175, 186 and 177 due to the second half of the expression CI(A+C�E�ME).
When "check out" is activated, the entire memory for that type of key (normally a guest key) is emptied. The system goes to phase 5 from phase 7 through the action of gate 178. The address has already been set for the first memory slot. The multiplexer 155-156 is not enabled because the E input is low. The output from this multiplexer is therefore low. The write flip-flop output from gate 122 is also low. All the inputs to the memory are low and the write input is activated. This causes the data in the slot to be "erased" by writing in zeros. The next clock pulse causes the memory to advance one slot and the action of erasure is repeated. Finally, the end of the slots reserved for this type of key is reached. The end count indicator CE goes high from gate 175, and the state returns to phase 1 through the action of gate 179.
After all of the data in the first frame has been processed as above described, the memory has been brought up-to-date, and the system can now determine if the inserted key is valid. The system is now in phase 1. It must have returned to this phase whatever the data inserted, or, if no data has been inserted. When the second frame (F2) arrives, the F1 flip-flop 123 (FIG. 12(a)) is reset. This changes state each time trigger 126 provides it with a clock pulse.
The state then changes to phase 7 through the action of gate 178. The starting address is set to all zeros since F1 is low.
The system goes to phase 6 as a result of the action of gate 166 caused by the second half of the expression (CI+F1). The multiplexer 155-156 now presents the I1 inputs from the memory and the key reader outputs 184 and 185 (FIG. 12(a)) to comparators 186 and 187, since F1 is high at the S inputs. In the particular case shown, the key code is 10011001. If this is matched by the code at this address, then there is a high A output from inverter 188. If not, the A output is low. In this case, the address changes at the next clock pulse and a new comparison is made with a following slot until the memory is exhausted. This is indicated by EF output at gate 189 going high. If there is a valid comparison, A is high, and the key is of the emergency type, as determined by gate 130 (from the address), then the system goes into phase 8 by the action of gate 192. If the key is not of the emergency type, that is, it is either a pass or guest key, and the night latch 191 in the room has not been set, the system also goes in phase 8 by the action of gate 130. If the guest has set the night latch, for the express purpose of locking out hotel employees or others, then only the emergency key will operate.
If there is no favorable comparison by the time the last memory slot has been compared, or, the night latch has been set and the key is not of the emergency type, then the system goes into phase 2, by the action of gate 194. During phase 2, no further action takes place and the system comes to a complete halt until the key is removed and another key inserted. If the system is in phase 8, then the positive output from inverter 195 will cause the silicon-controlled rectifier 196 (FIG. 16) to apply power to the solenoid-operated door latch 197, enabling the door to open. When the key is removed, the power is also removed and the silicon-controlled resistor is automatically reset.
The logic modules used in the lock circuitry are similar to those in the key validator circuitry. The memory differs in that it is of a random access non-volatile type. I wish it to be understood that I do not consider the invention limited to the precise details of structure shown and set forth in this specification, for obvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

text: Yes, there definitely is a difference. My understanding is that the longer the barrel, the more powder actually gets burned, thus increasing bullet velocity. It makes physical sense that accuracy will also be positively affected by a longer barrel, since the rifling will have longer to get the bullet spinning correctly.

SDI Commissions Independent MRO Research
New findings on the MRO supply chain have been released from over 100 surveys through live interviews with executives of companies spending over $5 million in annual MRO.
A new study, commissioned by SDI, Inc., released recent findings on the challenges and trends in maintenance, along with the repair and operating (MRO) supply chain management. Independent market research organization IMTS conducted over 100 surveys through live interviews with executives from companies that spent over $5 million in annual MRO.
The inefficiencies, costs, and barriers to improvement associated with MRO supply chain were made evident in the conclusions of IMTS' study and point to a great opportunity.
"Competition in the manufacturing industry is fierce and opportunities are fleeting. From a commissioned national survey of over 100 manufacturing executives, we found that only 45 percent of companies felt they were efficient in managing MRO assets. Those respondents who aggressively and professionally manage MRO assets have a distinct market advantage in supporting and achieving their goals," said Andy Cvitanov, the chief executive officer of SDI. "Best in class companies spend little to no time searching for, acquiring and managing critical parts for production. Supporting this type of efficiency is at the heart of SDI's offerings."
Of the companies surveyed, 59 percent agreed that it is important or very important to optimize supply chain management. However, 40 percent of the participants claimed that management of the MRO supply chain is not a core competency and 55 percent stated that they are less than efficient in managing their MRO supply chain.
The cost of the MRO supply chain is fairly high with over 40 percent of participants spending greater than 10 percent of their maintenance budget and down time on locating and acquiring MRO parts. Respondents further identified complexity of process as the biggest challenge to better practices in managing the MRO supply chain.

text: I guess Rihanna could not handle Chris brown continuing to have sex with four or five different people a day as well as his ex Karrueche Tran can who is used to standing by and waiting while Chris has sex with others and then goes home or comes over when he is finished and has her turn. Also, I don't think even Rihanna knows what she wants at this time. She is so wasted half the time and so out of it, that I am pretty sure she probably does not even know where she is or what day it is or what she is supposed to do that day. I am not even sure she gets out of bed everyday. I bet unless she has some type of work obligation or show that she stays in bed almost the entire day. Yes, she probably wanders around the bedroom, but only to get more wasted. I'm sure next month they will get back together again and the following month split again and then she is probably sue for a beating from him at some point.

William Gallas is likely to be sidelined for three weeks after picking up a groin injury at Blackburn on Sunday.
In the 24th minute at Ewood Park, the Arsenal captain hurdled a challenge from Roque Santa Cruz and went down in agony as he landed on the other side. He immediately called for assistance from the bench and, a few minutes later, hobbled off to be replaced by Philippe Senderos.
"He has done his groin, I knew it straight away," said Arsène Wenger afterwards. "He will be out for three weeks."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

This would be only for squirrels. Usually I just hunt with the 16ga or 12ga shotgun, but thought this would be fun the try out.

I had restylane injections on my upper and lower lips almost one week ago. The doctor was not a plastic surgeon (rather, a family doctor, who was supposedly trained in cosmetic procedures). The cost was $564 ($64 for taxes), and it was money thrown out. The doctor did tell me from the start that since the lines on my lower lip were deep, they would not disappear, but would look better -... READ MORE

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira had been here before, so many times that it's hard to pick just one favorite comeback. Was it the time that he rebounded from being driven head first into the canvas by Bob Sapp to submit the 6 foot 5, 350 pounder? How about the one when he absorbed a series of flush head kicks from Mirko Cro Cop only to take his foe down and force him to tap out? Or maybe it was losing the first two rounds to Tim Sylvia before submitting him in round three? . . . Click more by Thomas Gerbasi, UFC

Lake City on Their Own
Lake City may be about to lose it's emergency medical service coverage. Columbia County Commissioners reviewed proposals today to privatize its EMS service and it seems they will no longer cover Lake City. The County's attorney sent a letter to the Lake City Mayor to say they will no longer be included in the county's emergency service. While county leaders said they have not made a decision, the letter suggests otherwise.
Columbia County leaders are looking to a private service to cut costs. That may also mean a change in their history of covering Lake City, which would be 18-percent fewer people to cover.
Lake City City Manager Wendell Johnson says the county and city tried to find a cost efficient alternative for EMS in 2006, but never did. Johnson said "I regret that I think that would have provided the foundation today to make a good qualified decision to benefit all of Columbia County residents."
By phone late today, Columbia County Manager Dale Williams said county leaders have thought privatization was the solution all along, but in our report last Friday, he didn't sound so sure. Williams said "we can sit here and talk about what a private contract may cost we can talk about what the savings may be , but until you actually negotiate a contract or you get far enough in it that you've actually got some numbers it's very difficult to do that."
That was three days after the county's attorney, Marlin Feagle, signed a letter to Lake City Mayor on February 16th. Suggesting that, negotiations aside, they'd already decided private was the way to go.

a 47 or 47 d will fit they stick out a little with the base pad and the one is alum its stainless steel

I'd like to pickup a couple of wilson mags for a SA Mil Spec I have on order. On another thread they were suggested. I went to the wilson site and boy are there a lot of different codes! Question is, will the aluminum show when a mag is inserted? The black magazines are a bit more. For my gun, it looks like their standard 47 would fit. It's a 7 round which is what the gun is. Any guidance on this would be appreciated! Thanks!
a 47 or 47 d will fit they stick out a little with the base pad and the one is alum its stainless steel
Gideon...I haven't checked Wilson's site lately, but yes there are a number of models and they are pretty good at specifying which Gun Manufacturers need which mag....in my case, I've got a Kimber Eclipse Pro which is a full size frame but with 4" barrel....my Wilson mags are 47D....which carry 8rds. You didn't say which brand of 1911 you have or are looking at.
hello prospector. I'm getting the Springfield Armory Mil Spec. It's a 7+1 with 5" barrel. I'd like the magazines to be as flush as possible. If any silver of the mag will show, I'd rather get all black ones. Does this help a little?
I'm thinking the plain 47 would work but I don't want any silver showing.
the bottom of the mag will show and be silver but none of the sides if ya dont like that have to get the blued ones dont rember if 47's have a black base platew or not i have all 47d's
Personally, I dont like flush mags. I tend to get piched a lot during reloads.
It sounds like the magazine you're looking for is the 47CB. Seven round, low profile steel base pad, and the tube is armor tuffed black. I have several of these, I used them in my colt, I planned on having it gun-koted black, but may hardchrome it instead, so now I have to buy four more wilson 47s for my colt, since I plan on using my black mags for my parkerized SA mil-spec...
They stick out of the magwell about .188" with the low-profile basepads.
edit: .188 = 3/16s. Technicly it would be .1875, but my machine at works isnt capable of ten-thousandths.
Yep...just looked at mine and there is not quite 1/8 inch of the silver side showing. Like Zach S said, if you don't want that, then the 47CB is what you need.
I would just pull out my Sharpie and make the silver go away on a 47D if it bothered me. I used to not like the tell tale silver line. Now I can use it to gauge when a magazine may not be fully seated.Originally Posted by Prospector
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
I use the 7 round black plastic base Wilsons in my Para CCO. I did swap bases from a thin based 10 rounder I carry for street reload and it fits a little closer to the base and prints less but still gets a good solid lockup when you slide it in under a little stress. The 10 round mag hangs out the bottom so far who cares what is on it's bottom. I don't know it would protect the 7 rounder with the thin base if you do a slide lock drop reload on concrete but that would be a case where things were REAL bad and who cares in that situation. They are excellent magazines and will serve you well if you do a little tlc to them once in a while.

Patianna approaches winegrowing through lessons learned from Patti's father, Barney Fetzer, who often said, "Many footprints in the vineyard show that the vines are well-cared for." At Patianna Organic Vineyards, the footprints belong to Patti, Kieran, Winemaker Steve Ryan, vineyard foreman Horacio Ortega and his field crew, abundant indigenous wildlife - and flocks of resident chickens patrolling for insect pests. Keen observation guides grape growing at Patianna, and farming constantly adjusts to the conditions of the vines, soil and season.
Biodynamic grape growing harmonizes with Steve Ryan's winemaking. An accomplished, attentive winemaker, Steve believes in natural fermentation with indigenous yeast and minimal manipulation of the wine, allowing the intense flavors from Patianna's healthy vines to convey a true sense of place, their organic roots in Mendocino County View all Patianna Organic Vineyards Wines
About Russian River
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Fire Cam Cameron immediately. Get some new cornerbacks. Draft all offensive players in the 2009 draft. Get a receiver who can stretch the field - something we haven't had since Michael Jackson in 1998 and he wasn't that great either. This game is already over and it is only the first quarter.

Ravens choke every time they play the Colts. Pitiful performance thus far.
#10 Oct 12, 2008
Hey where are all the kool aid drinkers. Look at that secondary, they look like a bunch of old men. This game will be 45 to 3.The special teams on team stink, they haven't started past the 20 in 3 kickoffs. Harbaugh really hired a great special team coach. Our receivers can't get separation against a terrible defense. We won't win 4 games this year and you can take it to the bank. They will ruin flacco just like they did boller. You can already see that he has lost his confidence and is scared stiff out there.Chris Mac looks like he is running with cement shoes on.

It's the same way every time we play them

The black media bias (Preston & Steele) can cover it up all they want. A good GM can turn things around quickly. Just look at Parcels in Miami. Fire that lazy, inompetent, mornonic fool before the next draft or you can keep your tickets and merchandise Biscotti!!

If Peyton stays in the shotgun, which I'm sure he will, we're done. They can't run on us and they know it, so Peyton is going to win it for them. Esp. with Macalister hanging out watching the ball fly right over his head.

Where are you 1st round pick Mark Clayton?? I am sure Mark has awesome bling and a really cool car. Unfortunately he stinks.

Every kickoff and every punt return we have a penalty , that is a direct responsibility of the special team coach who hired this moron. We use to get fairly decent field position before but since we hired him we stink. You can't have personnel fouls every game like we do.

DescriptionLEGAL LAW INTERNSHIP
AGV Sports Group strives to provide its legal interns with a stimulating and diversified experience. Performing a variety of duties, from researching to drafting legal memoranda and briefs, interns will gain vital practical knowledge needed to be successful in a real world environment. The intern will gain experience working within a business, rather than a firm. The internship will grant knowledge of the inner workings of a business and the legal issues that are associated with the company. AGV Sports Group offers a bona fide internship experience that will not only prepare you for today's job market, but will transform you into an asset for any company YOU choose to work for. This is not an internship that consists of atypical grunt work, but hands on experience through direction and personal management.
The best legal internship will allow you to gain real-world experience in a legal setting, and it ideally will include exposure to the kind of legal setting in which you want to work. In some cases, an internship is required for students graduating from legal secretarial or paralegal schools and law schools. Among the legal internships available are summer clerkships, judicial internships, legal clinics and programs that allow you to perform work pro bono, or free. In addition to gaining experience, consider what else you hope to get from an internship. Some internships will allow you to earn school credit. Some pay, and others do not. The best legal internship will be about which company will provide the better path towards your chosen profession, and AGV Sports Group can provide that for you.
